DEAR ABBY: I'm a 57-year-old male who has been thrust back into the dating scene. I'm financially secure, am in good health and have a good career.
I'm searching for someone near my age who has similar achievements in life, someone I can communicate with in and out of the bedroom. Simple request, right?
What I'm realizing is that dating hasn't changed much over the years. If one of the parties isn't happy and decides to leave, someone gets hurt. (I have been on both sides.) I am starting to fear expressing my feelings openly and honestly, and if it eventually does come to sex, it's creating performance anxiety.
I understand this is all part of the dating ritual and called "baggage," but for me, it's preventing me from being honest, and I'm trying to avoid it. I see a female therapist who says I just haven't met the right person yet, and I agree.
I have a female friend in a similar situation who has become so bitter she now avoids men completely. My male friends tell me to quit looking for a long-term commitment and just date for sex. Neither of these options appeals to me.
My age-old question is: How does a person find a happy balance in this dating world? — DATING SCENE IN ARIZONA
He wants to escape the cold; wife wants to stay put
How do I cut ties with my toxic mom?
DEAR DATING SCENE: "Dating" means different things to different people. To your male friends — as you have found out — it means a sexual free-for-all. For others, dating is a sifting process that lasts until they meet someone they're comfortable enough with to communicate honestly.
In any successful relationship, communication is key. That's why it's important to be honest with the women you meet, and for them to be the same way with you. That's how people get to know each other beyond the surface, and it's how trust is built.
Chemistry is important, but it has to be mutual. You will know it when you find it. Listen to what your therapist is saying because she's steering you in the right direction.
DEAR ABBY: My son's girlfriend of five years and her 8-year-old daughter have been living with my son for the last four years.
She has recently started introducing my husband and me as her daughter's "grandparents." Tonight she asked for details about my father so her daughter could include them in a paper she is writing about her "family."
The daughter's father and his current wife had twins recently, and I understand from her mother that she is somewhat jealous.
I feel uncomfortable with this new description of our relationship, although I don't want to hurt the girl. Should I say something to my son's girlfriend or my son? — FAMILY DETAILS IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR FAMILY DETAILS: The word from here is: Keep your lips zipped! If you object, it will cause only hard feelings.
You say your son and his girlfriend have been living together for four years. If they should have a child together, do you plan to treat that child differently?
Face it, you ARE in the role of a grandparent. My advice is to accept it graciously and act accordingly.

Albuquerque Journal, May 24, 2015 by Wesley Pulkka
"Sally Condon's mixed media paintings are perennial favorites of mine. Her work is beautifully executed in a pulse racing palette of pastel tones acting as transitional veils between formal structure, atmospheric space and bold dense color accents.
In works like "Meeting and Passing" and "Stacking Tens" Condon creates vibratory rhythms between drawn lines, painted organic or geometric forms and her gorgeously sensual Easter egg-dye colored backgrounds."
Albuquerque Journal, May 13, 2012 by Wesley Pulkka
"Sally Condon's 19 piece "In Broad Sunlight" is a drop dead gorgeous show. Filled with beautifully crafted oil and wax paintings at Matrix Fine Art. Her radiant paintings magically light up the walls while offering viewers intimate narrative vignettes about life in Condon's backyard garden universe."
ABQ ARTS, November, 2002 by Richard Garriott-Stejskal
"Few works of art have affected me so strongly, leaving me stunned and reduced to one-word exclamations, but Condon's paintings left me dumb-stuck. They glow with an inner light (I want to turn the light out to see if they glow in the dark) The colors are mesmerizing. The shapes and forms hover just outside my recognition. Days later they still haunt me."
THE magazine, June, 1999 by Diane Armitage
"At a quick glance it would be easy to fault the paintings in this exhibition as being entirely too pretty. Yet the unabashedly lush and luminous color schemes are only the first layers to apprehend in work that has surprising depths and intricate surfaces that must ultimately be read slowly in order to appreciate the expertise of Condon's painting. This artist makes her complicated process of pigment application seem effortless, as if these images calmly floated to the artist's consciousness in a series of benevolent, Technicolor dreams."
Albuquerque Journal, January 7, 1996 by Wesley Pulkka
"Through a combination of architectural and organic forms small worlds are created. These neighborhoods of life are an amalgamation of sophisticated modernism and childlike innocence."
"Overall Condon is able to reach inside herself and produce paintings that share the strength, beauty and vulnerability of a butterfly"

With my 360 full to the brim, I'm this close to giving in and laying out $130 for Microsoft's ridiculously priced 120GB hard drive. And in other news, Kotaku wrote about more interesting gaming topics this week:
As a Friday treat, I'm going to load up some Magic: The Gathering on XBLA and curse that the deck customization is gimped. But what has Kotaku been up to all week?
While we've been working hard all week, Kotaku's been writing about video games. The nerve! Here are our favorite Kotaku posts from the week:
Matt and I are winding down Gizmodo's E3 coverage, but Kotaku is still Kotakuizing away. Here are some posts the gamers among you shouldn't miss:
Today on Kotaku, lots of Final Fantasy XIII news! Super Mario! Castlevania! Batman! Metal Gear!
Day One of E3 is over, and along with our own coverage, Kotaku's got a bunch of gaming news you should check out.
Day -1 of E3 just ended, and along with the massive amount of Microsoft Xbox hardware announcements, there's been lots of software as well. Here are our favorites.
This week, Kotaku's got Guitar Hero 5 news, Street Fighter figures, Punch-Out boxing controls, some artwork and a little bit of crawling.
Kotaku's got Hugh Jackman, BioShock 2 and Star Trek for you this week. If only Hugh Jackman could star in both those franchises.
Lots of good news this week at Kotaku, with Star Trek Online, BioShock 2, Guild Wars, Champions Online and Batman news. Plus, the awesome art of Hyung-Tae Kim.
This week we get some very interesting sequel news, as the first BioShock 2 gameplay video squirts out onto the internet. There's also some Vin Diesel action.
It's GDC week this week, so Kotaku has a LOT of news for you. Many exciting tidbits await ahead.
This week, Kotaku shows that the Batman game is going to have an expensive collector's edition, why fitness games are booming, and why arcades are dangerous.
What do we like this week in Kotaku? Street Fighter IV. Also Rock Band. And Guitar Hero. Mostly Street Fighter though. Oh, and Ashcraft's son would love the image above.
Big news this week as Dead Rising 2, the sequel to the best zombie killing game of this generation, becomes official. What else happened?
What's going on this week over in game land? Final Fantasy XIII, that's what! A new video finally hit for the game that won't be released here until 2010.
It's the weekend, which means we're going to break out our 360s and get some Left 4 Dead action on. That, and it's time to catch up on Kotaku's game news you may have missed.


text: Entertainment Lifestyle Movies last year Share Tweet Pin Share Darker and more emotional than Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" is director James Bobin's "Alice Through the Looking Glass." In and out of Underland, Alice escapes from a mental institution by sticking a mentally twisted doctor with the injection he had planned for her. And yes, Wonderland's actual name is Underland.Alice inspects a magical mirror before walking through it to Underland.In the opening scene we see that Alice is living her dream as a seafaring captain of her deceased father's ship. Alice returns home to find her mother attempting to coerce Alice into quitting the sea, to live like a proper Victorian lady. Absalom, a talking butterfly from Underland, finds Alice and guides her back to Underland, through a magic mirror. She helps the Mad Hatter find his family, whom he had until now presumed to be dead. She travels through time to find, and eventually rescue the Hatter's family. She learns that you cannot change time, but you can learn from it. She returns to her mother in Victorian England, and forgives her mother for taking away her father's ship. It's just a ship, she says; family is what really matters. Of course Alice's mother, inspired by her daughter's love, changes her mind and keeps the ship for Alice"Alice Through the Looking Glass" is a loose interpretation of the book with use of very liberal creative license. The movie draws some elements from the other book, "Alice in Wonderland," like the reason the Mad Hatter and his friends are stuck at tea time. They wronged Time, who is a man-clock played by Sacha Baron Cohen.Time, a man-clock, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, is holding a time-travel device called the chronosphere.Time and Iracabeth, The Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, are romantically involved. Iracabeth wants his gadget, called the chronosphere, to go back in time and change the past. When she and her sister, Mirana, The White Queen, were young, Mirana lied to her mother about who ate the last cookie. Their mother scolded Iracabeth, who then ran out of the castle, slipped in the snow and hit her head. Her head swelled to its now comically large size, and she began hearing voices. Iracabeth wants to go back in time to make her younger sister tell the truth. In the end of the film, Mirana asks for Iracabeth's forgiveness and the sisters reconcile. This scene is really touching: Anne Hathaway, who plays Mirana, The White Queen, portrays a lot of emotion with her face. Her hands, however, wiggled and fluttered through the whole movie, in an attempt at the fairy-tale-princess style. It felt unnatural almost to the point of being comical. It may have been the director's intention to make the otherwise wonderful White Queen not appear too perfect.Mirana, The White Queen, is played by Anne Hathaway. Her fingers wriggle and twitch throughout the movie, like a hallucinating piano player.Tim Burton did not direct the sequel, but he did produce the film. According to Burton, in an interview with Collider entertainment news, Burton made himself available to provide advice for director James Bobin, but did not interfere with Bobin's work.Director James Bobin directs actress Mia Wasikowska on the set of "Alice Through the Looking Glass."Director James Bobin created, wrote and directed the very popular, but short-lived series, "Flight of the Conchords." He also directed and wrote for the Sacha Baron Cohen's series, "Da Ali G Show.""Alice Through the Looking Glass" is in theaters now.-Rochelle Leahy

Trailer and Clip for next SMALLVILLE episode Masquerade
Here's a preview and TV spot for the upcoming 14th episode of the final season of Smallville titled Masquerade. In this next episode the team clashes with one of Darkseid's minions, Desaad played by Steve Byers, who kidnaps Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) and attempts to sway her to the side of evil. Given that we just got Chloe back, here's hoping the team manages to extricate her from danger.
I've been enjoying the hell out of this last season of Smallville and if for some reason you haven't been watching, you're missing out on a great final season. You can check out the trailer and clip for the next episode below.

I have 10 of these Bellinis
Like many other reviewers, I too love the look of these Bellini blouses. I have bought many of them. They are not for work wear though because like many reviewers have stated, they get fabric fuzz on them after a few washes on delicate cycle. I'd buy again if the fabric was improved. For now, these are for weekends only when I'm working around the house.
Reviewer: Leslie (Whittier, CA) 11/29/2016
Easy style piece
I received a green Sunset Stroll Bellini one year for Christmas and a gift card accompanying it. I bought a black one and a navy one in addition to the green one. I love the easy style of the cardigan and wear them to work with tank tops underneath. The flowing material is fun and makes it a little dressier than an average wrap. I only gave them three stars for two reasons; the first being the same as other reviewers- the fabric is lightweight and t-shirt material. I would certainly hope for a more substantial weight and longer wearing fabric. The second reason I am disappointed is unlike most of the models, I am very well endowed, and the drawstring enclosure does not fall nicely underneath my breasts as it should. It hit me almost squarely in the center of my chest. No matter how good of a bra I am wearing and how much I hitch my breasts up. This makes me so unhappy and I hope that the designers take this into consideration. Perhaps in the future they will look at even more body shapes and drop the drawstring an inch or two lower.
Reviewer: Esther (Phoenix, AZ) 11/27/2016
Pills like crazy
I bought 2 of the bellinis (black and navy) and they do not wear well at all. After a couple washes, even hand wash, the amount of pilling means I have to toss them or give them away.
Reviewer: Lori (Kelso, TN) 10/1/2016
My New Favorite!
I bought this in the green and absolutely love it! I wore it over black skinny pants with a black top and ballet flats; and over a white sheath dress, and with jeans and a white tee. So versatile! I just bought the taupe and am enchanted by its possibilities--the black tee and slacks, a black sheath, jeans--I love it with everything! Be warned: this is thin material. Perfect for every season: just wear lighter tanks for the hottest part of summer and 3/4 sleeves for milder winter weather. I don't find this material cheap, but it is designed to be a top and not an outer layer.
Reviewer: Holly (Charlotte, NC) 2/13/2016
Versatile Comfortable Cardigan
This Bellini is the perfect everyday item. It is comfortable casual or can be dressed up with the right pair of pants and jewelry. I bought the Promise Green color which looks great with black, brown or white camis or pants. I didn't give this item 5 stars as I feel the fabric was not the best quality. It pilled after one wash. However, with a good fabric shaver that can be remedied. The fabric was soft and lightweight and layering with a cami kept me warm yet not too hot. The style was great to mask my tummy area and gave a flattering waistline which didn't look like a box. The drawstrings were simple to adjust and there are small holes on each of the sides of the top to change the style of the closure. Overall I am very satisfied with this top, I have worn it many times since purchasing in December. I would definitely purchase again in other colors.

Its just so hard watching someone you love do this to themselves, but at the end of the day it is her decision. Went to see her yesterday in hospital and she did look awful, all she did was itch her legs and her stomach looks like she is four months pregnant, and her skin has lots of scabs and she keeps picking them. I am there for her as much as I can be, I asked her if she wanted a drink and she said no, and that she doesnt even think about it, but this is just a lie, because when they send her home the first thing she will do is have a drink. Could her lung and asthma have got worst because of the cirohorris.

Camp Fire is an organization that truly lives up to its promise. When you participate in Camp Fire, you know you will be comfortable being yourself, you will make friends, and you will get to participate in programs that make a difference. When you volunteer for Camp Fire, you can expect to be changed forever. Witnessing how Camp Fire impacts lives is not something that you will soon forget. When you donate to Camp Fire, you can be assured that your money is directly impacting the youth Camp Fire serves. Your donation goes to funding state of the art programs, tools, and assistance for kids to learn, grow, and just be kids!
Camp Fire goes above and beyond to help children find their sparks. They don't wait for kids to grow up, or force them to grow up before they are ready. They get engaged with them now. They come along side them through collaboration with families, schools, communities and care givers. Kids need allies now more than ever. Camp Fire is here to light the fire within youth, and keep it burning throughout their lives.
Camp Fire is more than an organization. It is a group of people who truly care about children, youth, and teens growing up in this country. They are inclusive - all are welcome at Camp Fire. Youth have a big say in what happens in Camp Fire. The Youth Advisory Cabinet is made up of young people from across the country who come together to plan what Camp Fire does. At a recent focus group, one of them said, "Because of Camp Fire, I am a much, much better person."
The one thing in my life that made me who I am is my membership in Camp Fire. My mom let me join with I was 6 and I have stayed involved for over 50 years. In Camp Fire I learned to be a leader, that I was a strong person with many talents, that I could do anything I tried and to try things that I had never tired. I learned that there were amazing adults who cared about me, our community and giving service. There were many areas where I was not at the top of the class but in CAmp Fire it did not matter. I was accepted for who I was and encouraged to increase my knowledge and skills so I could be successful in life. I also learned that the out of doors was a great place to learn. I learned to survive difficult situations, to be a critical thinker, to cook using limited resources--a skill that has served me well, and so very much more. My children all are members of Camp Fire and today they are well vested in the WoHeLo Spirit of service, caring, and being amazing young people.
Camp Fire is doing a great job with their updated branding and increased outreach. I recommend this organization for anyone looking for a great youth organization. Local councils and the national organization work together to develop excellent opportunities for youth and adults.
Camp Fire's youth development work and outcome measures is ahead of their time! National partnerships that help local affiliates work with youth and leaders is essential in any national organization and Camp Fire does this well.
As a consultant, I helped Camp Fire USA develop a health curriculum for children. My experience working with the organization's national and local staff was wonderful. Everyone clearly cared about ensuring that kids would have a top-notch after-school experience. The national staff members I worked with were consistently hard-working, creative, and responsive. They were also appreciative of my efforts, and I would love to work with them in the future.

Photos of John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston on Date at Sunset Tower After Recent Gerard Butler Romance Rumors
Jen Takes John to Her Favorite Place and Keeps Us Guessing
Jennifer Aniston shopped for jewelry in Beverly Hills before meeting up with John Mayer at Sunset Tower yesterday. The actress was recently spotted at the bar with Gerard Butler, but when her rep was asked whether their dinner was personal or professional, she said: "It doesn't matter what it was; it is no one's business." Despite the rumors, Jen and John seem to be going strong and now that all is silent on the John front, it looks like these two have been able to keep some things private.

Another new week to get off to a good start …
Today's challenge was to do Friday's challenge a second time. If you'll remember, on Friday I did Part 1 of six parts … Today I did Part 2 that would look just like Part 1 except I folded with a different color of Oriental folding paper. Also I was able to put Part 1 and Part 2 together. Now only four more days of deja vu folding and I have the entire project completed.
Also I felt that I wimped out on the weekend origami challenge. So I followed the instructions and turned a rectangular piece of printer paper into a square piece of printer paper folding-paper. And once I had a piece of white folding-paper already pre-started for folding, I decided to continue folding and create the traditional origami crane.
If my title for today's puzzle sounds like I'm a little bitter today, I am. If they would have asked a question about presidents … any president … I probably would have breeze right through it. But they ask a question about a movie director, and not a movie director who had the same name as a president. But a movie director who's last name has no letters in common with the last name of President Kennedy. Also I drew a complete blank on this one. XERO! NADA! TOTAL NOTHING! Well, so much for getting off to a good start.
As you might have noticed , I did this one using a pencil. And there were a lot of erasures before I got back to where I started. But I did get it finished. And thanks to laundering my socks and underwear yesterday, Mlle. Renee and I have nothing to do today but wait for the rain and thunderstorms to start around noon. Also I slow roasted the most tender beef round roast yesterday that actually melted in my mouth. So with roast beef dinner leftovers left over, I won't have to cook either. So today I get to read and listen to the new 2 CELLOS CD IN2ITION that I bought Saturday.
Perfect for a rainy day!
Sunday …

nothing but football on TV … again!
And welcome to it!
*Sub Gum – was the name of the original Cantonese chopped meat and veggie stew that would become known in the US as chop suey. I originally ate it at the Orient Restaurant on 8th and Washington in downtown Saint Louis. My version was recreated from memories/tastes and looks of that dish.
I don't know, it seems to happen every fall when the heat of summer fades and a little nip shows up in the air. For some reason or other, I get this primal urge to start cooking again. So far this week I have spent three days cooking. And since it really is impossible to cook for one, that means I have produced enough for … not three dinners, but TEN dinners. That means I have three totally delicious first round dinners, and four days of rewarmed leftover dinners. There's nothing wrong with rewarming leftover dinners, but I still have three more still waiting in the freezer.
It all started a week ago Sunday when I slow-roasted a beautiful Angus beef chuck roast with red wine and a ton of onions with carrots and potatoes on the side. The gravy was to die for, but unfortunately I forgot to photograph the roast as evidence. Any I had the roast beef dinner on Sunday, with a leftover dinner on Tuesday. I also had a couple of roast beef sandwiches for lunch during the week. For some reason, it seemed like the roast beef was replenishing itself.
With another Sunday looming, I decided I had to use up the left over roast. So last Sunday I made roast beef pot pie.
Surprisingly, I had enough roast to make two pot pies which filled the dinner menu on Sunday and Tuesday. Monday I had the leftover American Goulash that was in the freezer from week before the Sunday I made the roast beef. Wednesday I realized that I had three beautiful lean pork cutlets in the freezer. So I got them out of the freezer to defrost.
They would make a fantastic pot of pork chop suey. My pork chop suey is based on a dish I used to eat at the old Orient Cafe in Down Saint Louis. It wasn't like the wok cooked dishes served in most restaurants today. The vegetables and meat were slow cooked until they were tender instead of crisp. It was more an Oriental stew with a thick brown slightly sweet sauce. It took me a couple of years before I could really replicate the Orient's dish. My family loved it and I was always being asked to make a batch for family gatherings. Though I also think my mother liked the fact that someone else was cooking rather than her, more than she like the chop suey. So I had chop suey on Wednesday, with three left over servings going into the freezer.
Thursday, I had a serving of leftover split pea and ham soup from out of the freezer.
Friday, I realized I had three boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the freezer I had to cook. So I made slow-roasted chicken breasts in a mushroom herb sauce with a vegetable risotto. I served it with a glass of cranberry lemonade with a serving of pumpkin spice mousse for dessert. Again leftovers went into the freezer.
Saturday I ate a repeat of the chop suey, and today featured a return of the chicken.
Guess Monday holds a week of reruns from the freezer!

I can't believe this flid has the tenacity to try shit like this.
And for all of you reviewers who said it 'got boring quick' was 'repetetive' 'only had three layouts' etc.:
Which explains why the word 'Beta' is seen on the front screen.
The version that Mr. Bellend here has stolen from my website is about a months worth of work behind the current version.
The list of things not implemented is longer than the list of stuff that is.

I can't understand how this fuckwit could have thought this was finished. But then 5 year olds don't generally grasp such things as reading too well.
Again, apologies to anyone who tried to complete it only to find that there is no 'end'.
But the positive reviews are nice, and I may even finish it one day.
If only there were a way to gouge someones eyes out over the internet...

I'm on the phone with Alex the night before Jem's birthday party at Johanna's and I ask him whether he's looking forward to it. He hesitates for a long time and then sighs.
"Kay, I don't think I'm gonna make it." he says.
"What?" I ask. "Why?"
"There's a party going on at my friend's house tomorrow, all of my friends are going to be there." he explains. "I can't say I'm not going because they'll ask for an explanation and I'll have to tell them."
I always forget that we're a secret to his friends, that his friends don't know anything about us. I understand why, it'd just complicate things out of control if they knew, but I always forget that it must be hard for Alex to keep it a secret all the time because it's not exactly like I'm putting any effort in.
"Okay." I say. "I'll miss you."
He laughs. "You'll still see me tomorrow, just not at the party."
"Yeah but I'll miss you at the party." I say. "Who is gonna stick up for me when Jem's being a dick?"
"Alice will die if she has to talk to him."
He laughs again. "Night Kay."
"Night." I say. "Love-"
He hangs up the phone before I can say the whole sentence but I know he's just tired and didn't mean to. I fall straight asleep after that and from the moment I wake up the next day, everything seems like chaos. I get dressed so fast and rush over to Johanna's because I'm late helping her get the house ready. Alice and Carrie are out keeping Jem occupied so he'll be surprised by the house and Alex isn't awake so it's just Johanna and I. Then the cake doesn't arrive so Johnna has to go out and look for it and I'm left in the house for two hours by myself, trying to put up lights and get drinks out and cook all of the food. By the time Johanna returns, everything's done.
"Where the hell were you?" I demand.
"I couldn't find the cake!" she says defensively. "We're just going to have to make one."
"But we're meant to go shopping to find something to wear!" I remind her.
"Yeah well, I'll go and do that and you can make the cake."
"Oh hell no." I shove my apron at her. "You can make the cake. I'm going shopping."
I rush out of the house before she can object and catch the bus into town. I end up picking out a powder pink lace crop top with a matching high waisted skirt for myself and a red bodycon dress with matching shoes for Johanna, the same sort of thing as we always wear. She loves what I've picked with her and we spend the rest of the time before the party listening to bands we used to listen to in seventh grade while we get ready.
People start arriving at seven and Alice, Carrie and Jem are amongst those. Jem knew the party was happening but he didn't know how much effort we were going to put into it and he's so happy with it. By eight, the house is completely packed, including people in the garden and on the driveway. It's as packed as a party at Alex's house and I kind of wish he was here to see it all. I think he'd be pretty impressed.
Jem comes up to me at around ten o'clock for the first time since he got to the party. He starts dancing with me out of nowhere and I start laughing.
"How drunk are you?" I shout over the music as he twirls me under his arm.
He stops me spinning and looks at me, one corner of his mouth quirked upwards. "I don't drink."
I smile. "Me neither, really."
"Then I proclaim us the two only sober people at this party!" he exclaims, twirling me around again. "Well, us and Johanna. She's too busy making sure people don't throw up on her walls."
"What an achievement!"
He chuckles. "You look nice by the way. That outfit kind of makes you look like a little fairy."
"Well, thanks." I smile at him.
"But I can't help but think that Alex should be here dancing with you and telling you you look nice." Jem shrugs as if it's just a suggestion, so I won't get mad.
"He's at a friend's party." I explain.
Jem looks at me for a moment and I can't quite figure out that look. It's like he's seeing something that I'm not, like he's trying to convince me of something. And then the look goes and he just shrugs again.
"Whatever." he says, smiling again. "By the way, I'm not giving Johanna any credit for this party. I know it was all you."
I laugh. "No, Johanna did a lot of it."
Jem raises an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
"Really!" I insist. "I just maybe did a lot more."
He chuckles, twirling me one last time and then letting go of me. "Be free, little fairy."
"Why thank you." I give a little courtesy and just like that he disappears into the crowd and so do I.
A little while later, I'm in the living room gossiping with some girls who I used to go to camp with when we were younger when Carrie comes over to me.
"Alex's car is in the driveway." she says into my ear, not wanting anybody else to overhear.
My heart thuds a little the way it does when I'm really happy. I kind of knew he'd come. I thank Carrie and she goes off to some friends of hers who are in her business class and I make my way through the crowd to try and find Alex. I come across Jem first who is talking with one of his friends and I ask them if he's seen Alex.
"Oh I saw him go upstairs." Jem's friend says.
"Thank you!" I say and start walking away. I figure Jem's going to stay there with his friend but they just talk for a moment longer and then Jem starts rushing after me.
"Kaya!" he calls. "Let's just wait down here, he'll be down soon."
I frown. "What? Why?"
"It's just too much hassle to get through everybody on the stairs and stuff." he shrugs. "Let's just wait for him."
"Nobody said you had to come." I say, frowning but laughing at his weird behaviour. "I'll be back in a minute."
And then I carry on making my way upstairs and Jem gets caught in the crowd, unable to follow me. I can't see Alex anywhere upstairs so I go into Johanna's room to see if she's in there to ask. She is in there. And so is Alex. And they are kissing. And then my heart falls to the floor and I have no idea what to do or think. For a split second, I am in a place I have never been before. I am in a place where the noise around me is just a buzz and where my vision is blurred and where I feel so weightless I could float away but there's a heavy feeling in my stomach keeping me down. That place is a place where I don't have to deal with anything or think about anything, but I only stay there for a moment and then I am pulled back into reality where both of them are looking at me shocked, like I am an intruder.
I try to shout at them but I can't. I just manage to whisper "What?" and stare at them both. I'm staring at them, hoping that if I stare long enough, it won't be in front of me. I'll have just imagined it and it will have just been a stupid mistake. But they stay next to each other and the longer I stare, the more it hurts. The more betrayed I feel.
"Kaya." is all Johanna says.
And then for some reason, my daze is completely gone and I'm just angry now. Still quiet, still not being able to shout, but I'm angry. I start to shake.
"Don't stand there and act like you don't know what to say." I say, a poisonous tone in my voice that I've never heard before. "You have a million things you need to explain, so start."
"Kaya." Alex frowns. "You can't be-"
"Don't. Don't you dare try and tell me I can't be angry. One of you needs to start talking, right now." I say, my voice shaking.
Nobody says anything for a moment so I carry on.
"What has been happening?" I demand. "Was this a one time thing or has it been going on for a while now?"
They both pause and look at each other. I close my eyes, not wanting to look at them. It has never hurt me so much to look at anybody. I can't look at them look at each other like they're a team, like they have a connection that I never had with either of them.
"It was just this time." Alex says.
"Please just save me the lies!" I shout, shocked to realise that I do not believe him at all. All of a sudden, everything adds up, everything that I didn't realise was out of line adds up. Both of them going off together to look at the cars all the time, both of them leaving hang outs at about the same time, Johanna going missing for two hours today while Alex wasn't able to help us out.
I didn't realise it didn't make sense in the first place, but now it all definitely makes sense. I just wish it didn't. I wish I didn't know. I think to ten minutes ago when Johanna was still my best friend and I was still completely in love with Alex and now I'm crying and I hate that. I hate that they're stood in front of me like this team, like it's those two against everything else, while I stand in front of them crying like I'm crazy.
"I cannot fucking believe you!" I scream. "You are supposed to be the person I can trust the most Johanna, you are supposed to be my best friend. Why the hell would you do something like this?"
"I really like him!" she yells back.
"And you know that I love him!" I exclaim, my voice cracking and making me sound like the weak one again. "Do you know how cruel of you that was? I would never dream of doing anything like that to you!"
At this point, Alice and Jem have come into the room but I'm too angry to acknowledge them properly.
"And you!" I turn to Alex. "You are a cruel son of a bitch, you know that? I trusted you! I really really loved you! Why the hell would you do something like this to me? Was I not enough? Did you just get a bit bored, did you want to try something new?"
"Oh shut the fuck up Kaya-"
"Don't you dare start yelling at her." Jem says in a low, angry voice to Alex. "You have no right."
"Oh and here's Jem to the fucking rescue!" Alex yells and then looks at me. "Fine! Whatever! You are welcome to each other, but Kaya you should know that your little prince charming here knew exactly what was going on the entire time."
I turn and look at Jem, shocked. I go to say something but I have no idea what to say. I am tired of standing here like an idiot while I find out everybody around me has betrayed me. I just push past him and rush out of the room. My plan was to go to the bus stop and go straight home because I don't want to talk to anybody right now but everything hits me again as soon as I get to the landing and I just sit down against the wall and cry. I don't know how to handle this.
I feel like my mind is absorbing everything and any minute now, it's going to be too much. With every new thing it absorbs, it feels like too much but people keep throwing things at it anyway. Johanna and Alex kissing. Them looking at each other like they're in a world alone. Johanna looking like Alex is more important to her than I am. Alex shouting at me. Jem knowing all along. And now it's everything else. People laughing, having fun. Drinks spilling. Flashing lights. Loud music. And then I hear Alice yelling which is so unlike her that it pulls me out of this new daze a little.
"You are a cruel, manipulative, lying, cheating, evil bastard!" she yells. "And you're no better, Johanna. Or you Jem. Well fucking done, all three of you! You can both have each other and Jem, you can just go fuck yourself."
I'm still kind of confused and dazed and it's so surreal to see the ever calm and serene Alice fight her way through the crowd to me and help me up. Carrie has already gone home so Alice drives the two of us to Carrie's house. Those two are so great and kind. They make me a cup of tea and get me something to eat and let me have the bed to myself while they sleep on a make shift bed on the floor and I just cry for the entire night, half because I'm so sad but half because it's so nice for them to be so nice. They both fall asleep but I know I won't sleep. I end up crawling into their make shift bed on the floor for the night instead of staying in Carrie's bed. I can't help but hate the fact that it takes something so terrible for me to really appreciate the people around me.

Albert Einstein
In June of '73, I left my home in Tampa, Florida, to go to DC and join the US Peace Corps in Ethiopia, East Africa. This story actually begins a few weeks earlier, when I had met one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen – I'll call her "Bess" (not her real name).
It's not like I was inexperienced. I'd been married and divorced and had been privileged to have known several wonderful and beautiful women – before, during and after my 1971 tour in Vietnam. After an intense, whirlwind relationship, Bess and I drove to Maryland and stayed with one of her relatives. There really is no way to describe to you how deeply involved we had become. Yet I had been planning to go to Africa for months and had set my mind to it.
I flew to Ethiopia and became a "trainee", which is just one step down from a "volunteer". Three weeks into my training I decided that I was in love with Bess and had to be with her. When asked by the Peace Corps why I was leaving, I simply said, "I'm going home for personal reasons."
By Autumn of '73, Bess and I had gone our separate ways, and after a brief dark period when I had been brought back to my senses by none other than my mother, who had also been coping with the recent death of my father, I tried to rejoin the Peace Corps and to return to Africa. The Desk Officer for Ethiopia in DC, Ed Marcus, told me that there had never been a volunteer, let alone a trainee, allowed back into the same country after terminating early. Never. Ed was, however, able to give me three other choices, Iran, Jamaica and the Philippines.
Marcus had given me three country options, but no matter how determined I was to go back to Ethiopia, he was adamant that I could not return there, nor work in any other country in Africa. I had decided to go to the Philippines when I received a surprise phone call from Ed. He told me that the Peace Corps Director in Ethiopia, Dr. Jack Mills, had come to Washington for a meeting the next day. He would be returning to Ethiopia in the evening following the meeting. Ed told me that if I really wanted to go back to Ethiopia, I had to get to Washington as quickly as possible. He said he might be able to get me in to see Dr. Mills for a few minutes, but there were no guarantees.
I hopped on the earliest plane and landed in Washington at about 6:00 p.m., too late to get in to see Dr. Mills that evening. So I walked around the city and wound up on a park bench between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. I was just sitting there, scratching my head. I knew exactly what I wanted – to go back to Ethiopia. But I had no idea what I was going to say to Dr. Mills. How would I convince this man to let me go back and work in Africa?
Then, as I sat there relaxed yet completely confused, one word entered my head with the force of an H bomb. There among the monuments to our forefathers, this one word began to pound and pound in my brain! It was a common word, very common. It had entered my head before, but never with this much strength and power. It was as if the forefathers were ghosts in my head and yelling out the word, like they were trying to provide me with the one thing that I could say to Dr. Mills that had any chance of convincing him. That one word banging away in my mind was "truth".
Tell him the truth – that's all I had to do. In my mind, I could picture Dr. Mills and myself alone in his office the next day. I could actually hear him ask me why I had left the previous year. What on Earth were the "personal reasons" that had kept me from staying in Ethiopia? There was no mistaking the absolute certainty I felt. I knew beyond any shadow of doubt that I would convince Jack Mills and return to Ethiopia! In a fraction of a second I had gone from confused and worried to certain and confident.
The next morning found me in the Peace Corps office, sitting next to Ed Marcus' desk. Dr. Mills was still in his meeting, so I waited. All of a sudden, Mills came crashing through the door. Obviously disappointed and very angry, he disappeared into his temporary private office and slammed the door. It was evident that things had not gone well at his meeting. Ed gave me a glance that pretty much meant, 'Sorry I wasted your time.' I urged him to knock on Mills' door. He went into Mills' office to ask if I could see him for a few minutes. When he walked back out, he told me, "Dr. Mills will give you five minutes and not a moment more."
I walked into Mills' office and sat down. His first question was just as I had heard it in my head the evening before. "I have your file here, and all it says is that you left your training last year for 'personal reasons'. I just need to know exactly what your 'personal reasons' were that made you terminate early last year. Why did you leave?" At the bottom of my answer, at the bottom, the heart and soul, was honesty.
"Do you know why Jack Mills is here?" I shook my head, no. "He's here for the express purpose of getting the Peace Corps pulled out of Ethiopia! The emperor Haile Selassie has been arrested and jailed, and there is so much violence! Jack's worried that his volunteers and staff might get hurt. But in this morning's meeting with the bosses, they turned him down, they would not let him pull out. It's just unbelievable that after all that, he would let you go back to Africa. Unbelievable! What did you say to him?"
I just smiled. I had convinced a man who had a reputation for seldom if ever changing his mind. All I had done was to answer his question and tell him the truth. I had responded with the ideas that had come to my mind the night before after the word "truth" had exploded inside my head.
Yet, where I had left off and could do no more, some power beyond my knowledge seemed to take over and turn around what had been impossible and make it plausible and doable. Yes, I didn't just lie around and wait for things to happen – that's just not how it works. It's not the least bit difficult. You just have do all that you yourself can do and then you must fully expect to somehow get what you want!
Always a pleasure,

Jordan Spieth won't get over Masters meltdown easily, says Nick Faldo
Three-time Masters champion Sir Nick Faldo believes Jordan Spieth will be 'scarred' by his shock collapse at Augusta National on Sunday.
Spieth took a one-shot lead into the final round as he looked to join Faldo, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus in winning back-to-back Masters titles.
But on the 20th anniversary of Faldo winning his third green jacket as Greg Norman squandered a six-shot lead after 54 holes, Spieth blew a five-stroke advantage with just nine holes remaining after dropping shots on the 10th and 11th and running up a quadruple-bogey seven on the 12th.
"This will scar him. This will damage him for a while," said Faldo, who saw Danny Willett follow in his footsteps to become the second English winner of the Masters. "We're all in shock with what happened to Jordan. In '96 you got the sense that Greg was struggling, but it was bit by bit (Norman shot 78 and Faldo 67).

"What happened to Jordan was so sudden. It was 10 minutes. That's the harshness of it."
Spieth agreed that it would take him a long time to get over Sunday's dramatic events, with the World No.2 carding four birdies in succession from the sixth to seemingly gain total command of the tournament.
The 22-year-old failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker on the 10th and then drove into the trees on the 11th, before amazingly hitting two balls into Rae's Creek in front of the 12th green.
Birdies on the 13th and 15th kept the US Open champion's hopes alive, but a bogey on the 17th confirmed he would have to settle for a share of second place with Lee Westwood.

Spieth, who has now finished second, first and second in his three Masters appearances, said: "It's tough, really tough. Four birdies in a row and I knew that even par (on the back nine) is good by at least a shot and sometimes that makes it hard. You go away from the game plan and start playing conservative. A few weak swings and suddenly I am not leading any more.
"We still have the confidence that we are a closing team. It was just a very tough 30 minutes that I hopefully never experience again. But you wonder about not only just the tee shot on 12, but why can't you just control the second shot and make five at worse, and you're still tied for the lead. Big picture, this one will hurt. It will take a while.
"I had my B-minus game tee to green and I made up for it with my putter. Ultimately you need your 'A' game, and I just didn't have those iron swings, as it showed on the back nine."
Belfast Telegraph

This article, first published on February 21, 2014 during the Sochi Winter Olympics exposes both the aim and the method of how the NHL, hand in hand with the sports media, began creating the conditions to justify launching its own private "World Cup of Hockey."
The discourse runs like this: we poor owners have been victimized and our fans short-changed and held hostage by the Olympics, because "the best league in the world has been shut down" (Prime Time Sports, Rogers Sportsnet, February 18, 2014). "Just look at our empty buildings." It is reminiscent of the old saw about the thief crying "stop thief!" | TONY SEED*
SEEMINGLY out of the blue, the National Hockey League (NHL) based in New York sent their fabled Stanley Cup trophy to Sochi. The media slavered when it made its appearance at Canada House on Monday, February 17th. The iconic silver trophy had seemingly fallen from the sky or appeared as if a gift from the gods of sport with a spiritual significance comparable to a burning bush.
In the media euphoria, Canadian Olympic members were organized to pose with the trophy and world champion figure skater Patrick Chan to bless it with a kiss.
Four-time Olympian skier Brian Stemmle, also a CBC analyst, denounced the maneouvre, rightly asking: "Why is the Stanley Cup at Canada House in Sochi? Other athletes don't bring their trophies. Hate when hockey tries to overshadow other sports." A new diversion began. Continue reading

She arrived here from Jagüey Grande, in Matanzas, as part of the first group of collaborators assigned to work in the country's poorest areas, to improve the lives of inhabitants dominated by marginality and all its associated problems. Those were the first days of the social mission Barrio Adentro Deportivo, (Into the Neighbourhood with Sports) and she, like all the other original members, started from zero. Continue reading

Holey moley: Pensioner's garden becomes a cave after giant sinkhole swallows garden
AN OLD lady has had the shock of her life after her back garden became a cave overnight.
Kathleen Angel, 93, could not believe her eyes when she opened her back door to find an enormous sinkhole had swallowed up half her garden.
The hole at the house in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, was caused by a collapsed mineshaft.
Cornwall used to be a tin mining area and the area is riddled with old mineshafts.
She said the hole - which is 100 feet deep - had "devoured" her garden.
"Kathleen has not been coping well, when she heard about it I thought it was going to finish her off"Jim Ashford, neighbour
Mrs Angel said: "I heard something and looked up and there it was - a very deep, big hole in the middle of my garden.
"It is very concerning, very much so."
Neighbour Jim Ashford, who is 92, said: "Kathleen has not been coping well, when she heard about it I thought it was going to finish her off."
His son Nick said building work nearby had been a "living nightmare" and he added: "It all culminated on Saturday, just as the rugby world cup final was on, when suddenly a 100 foot hole appeared in the garden next door."
Three years ago work on a number of retirement flats in Carbis Bay ground to a halt after an old mineshaft was found underneath.
Tesco suffered similar problems in Carbis Bay, finding four mine shafts in the supermarket's car park.
Brian Stevens, of St Ives Museum, said: "It's riddled with mineshafts up there."
But Cornwall is not the only place suffering from sinkholes recently.
Last month a huge hole opened up in a street in St Albans, Hertfordshire, forcing the evacuation of residents.
And in September 300 campers had to run for their lives after a hole swallowed up a beach and campsite on Australia's Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

Confederate graves will get markers
The unmarked graves of 22 Confederate soldiers buried at Bellevue Cemetery will soon be more than a spot on a map.
During a ceremony Sunday, those graves will be designated with flat markers or tombstones, paid for by the federal government.
A memorial service at the cemetery, off Princess Place Drive near 17th Street, will take place at 3 p.m., featuring the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of Confederate Veterans dressed in period clothing.
Bellevue Cemetery President Cliff Williams said about 60 percent of the graves at the cemetery belong to Confederate soldiers, and he's working to identify more so they can be properly marked.
For more information on the memorial service, contact Williams at 458-0774.

Brunswick schools seek public ideas
Concerned about future growth in Brunswick County schools?
Monday is your chance to take part in developing the Brunswick County Schools Facility Master Plan, which will be used to address school improvement and facility needs.
The district is holding its first community dialogue from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Monday at Bolivia Elementary School. Participants will receive a questionnaire on educational programs, enrollment projections, facility capacity and building conditions. A second community dialogue is scheduled for Dec. 11 at Bolivia Elementary.
In February, Steve Miley, executive director of operations, presented Brunswick County school board members with a summary plan for growth through 2014-2015. It listed two new K-8 schools with 800 students each, a 120-child pre-kindergarten center at Lincoln Elementary School, and a new "magnet" high school with 800 students that would emphasize technology training.
More than 11,700 students are enrolled in Brunswick County schools this year. Miley has projected that in the next 10 years enrollment will jump to more than 14,000.
In 1999, Brunswick County voters approved an $84 million bond issue for renovation and construction. Brunswick County Academy, expected to open by Nov. 1, is the final school construction project funded by the bond.
