How funny, I totally did this in my own room! I painted the walls Behr's Sparrow Gray, and did my trim an Eggshell and kept all my bedding and headboard bright whites. I love the look, but I'm starting to want more from my room in terms of color. Do you think I could add artwork with hints of turquoise and not have them war with the gray and white colors?
I actually just painted my bedroom grey and have been thinking about my bedding a lot. I just bought the souk rug from West Elm and painted my side table a minty color for a bright pop of color. But I love your bedding and was wondering if you can share where it's from? Thanks!!!
Does gray always close in the walls, or only because you choose a more saturated color? I'd love to paint my bathroom a light gray, but now I'm concerned that it will make it feel smaller.
Hi Everyone!
JU: The white quilts and grey sheets are from Homegoods, but you can find similar things on overstock.com. I almost bought this, in fact: http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Adele-Cotton-King-size-White-Quilt-Set/6580161/product.html
The throw pillows are from Etsy seller Gypsya, and I was even more in love when I saw them in person, so I definitely recommend them! Find them here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/99691455/organic-beautiful-handmade-applique?ref=sr_gallery_20&ga_search_query=white+pillow&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=handmade
LISANHAM: I think its more about the saturation and darkness of this particular grey (and many that are popular right now) that closes it in. I don't think a light grey would have the same effect.
Oh! And KELINKA: I love the idea of other colors with this color scheme. We have a lot of reds and pinks in our rug and I really like it against the grey and white. Also, check out the turquoise my friend incorporated in a room that's the exact same color as mine! http://www.75thandsedgwick.com/2012/07/finally-art-on-wall.html
your bedroom looks very peaceful. and those are gorgeous throw pillows!
thanks for the informative video! grey's my favorite color.
Bedroom is hot. I would look forward to this apartment tour!
Cate, love love love that rug. where is it from?
Cate, what color gray have you used? There are so many grays available at the paint store but every sample I have tried is much too purple or blue...
Hi Again!
ALLFOURBURNERS: Thank you! It's one of our favorite things. The rug is from http://esalerugs.com/. I think it's really hard to buy a rug online, but it helps that this company has a huge selection and a good return policy.
GLENDA.SCHULTZBARNES: It's Benjamin Moore's Kendall Charcoal. Good luck!
I too did something similar in an apartment I owned—painted every room but the bathrooms a fairly dark gray, custom mixed at the paint store, with antique white trim in some places, natural wood trim in others. We started with a medium gray and added some red and some blue, giving it a dramatic cast. I found that it was spectacular for hanging artwork and made it pop like the art never had a chance to do on a white wall. It also went great with seafoam and beachy colors—soft pastels, that is—in the furniture and accessories, as well as with natural woods. I topped (bottomed?) it off with a white carpet. I loved that look. Unfortunately, I don't live there any more!
One last thing: My gray was very similar to Cate's on the light-to-dark scale, and not unlike her hue. Also, I had huge, huge floor to ceiling windows and the purpose was to cut the glare down a bit with wall paint color. It was very relaxing,
Try Stonington Gray from Benjamin Moore. It's light and neutral, so it won't make your room feel smaller. It's very restful on the eyes.
Love Cate's white bedding!
Best tip ever on the lighting!!!
I wouldn't worry about the color of artwork in any case. Many people are good at rotating what they show and store (hmmm...I haven't rotated in years). But as long as you like what you are displaying, I think it's hard to go wrong.
subtitles pretty please.
I used Silent Night from Benjamin Moore for my bedroom. It's such a cool, beautiful color that creates a very relaxing environment.
A medium gray paint that I love (in my kitchen!) is Baby Elephant by Clark+Kensington at Ace Hardware. Love it.
And, I love this bedroom! My "neutral" paint looks really greenish with the hard-wired wall sconces in my condo, so gray would probably be an improvement.
Cool grays recede and actually make spaces feel larger.
It's a lovely room and I adore the grey. I have three or four rooms painted in different shades of grey around my home and I find that any other colour coordinates well with grey. I have to disagree with you on closing in the space though. Grey does make rooms feel cosier than white for sure but I've always found that darker colours make walls recede and give rooms a bigger feel.

FAQ by Illinois Gender Advocates
What is the effective date of the new protections?
The Illinois Compiled Statues version of the Illinois Human Rights Act (the "Act") provides that they are effective January 1, 2006.
Do the protections cover the transgendered?
As amended, the Act provides that it is the public policy of Illinois to extend freedom from discrimination due to "sexual orientation" (along with specified classes) "in connection with employment, real estate transactions, access to financial credi, and the availability of public accomidations."
"Sexual orientation" is defined in the Act as "..actual or perceived heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, or gender-related identity, whether or not traditionally associated with the person's sex at birth." The phrase "gender-related identity whether or not traditionally associated with the person's sex at birth" was specifically intended to cover the transgendered.
Note that the amendment protects someone who is perceived a certain way.
What rights are provided?
The Act previously provided protection against discrimination with regard to employment, real estate transactions, access to financial credit, and the availability of public accommodations. The amendments merely extends this coverage to protection discrimination due to sexual orientation.
Do the new protections provide greater rights of special protections to the LGBT community?
No. The Act specifically provides that "[n]othing in this Act shall be construed as requiring any employer, employment agency, or labor organization to give preferential treatment or special rights based on sexual orientation or to implement affirmative action policies or programs based on sexual orientation."
In other words, the new protections simply extend the existing protections afforded certain protected classes of persons to persons with respect to sexual orientation.
Are there any special exemptions from these new protections?
Yes. Although the Act generally extends the same protections to persons with regard to discrimination due to sexual orientation as it does for other protected classes, there are exceptions.
As mentioned earlier, the protections of the Act cover four main categories: 1) employment; 2) housing; 3) access to financial credit; and 4) public accommodation. So, if something does not fall within one of those four categories, the Act does not cover it. Also, the Act provides certain specific exemptions under the four categories. There is no specific carve-out from any of these exemptions with regard to sexual orientations. In fact, just the opposite is true. As discussed below, there is an additional exemption relating to rental housing regarding sexual orientation.
The housing exemptions under the Act before the amendment cover (1) certain private sales of single family homes, (2) rental of housing in an apartment building for five or few families where the lessor or a family member resides in one of the units, (3) rental or private rooms in a private home where a family member resides or intends to return within 12 months, (4) reasonable governmental restrictions on maximum number of occupants, (5) sale, rental, or occupancy of a dwelling by religious organization owned or operated for other than commercial purpose to, or a preference to, persons of the same religion, unless membership in such religion is restricted on account of race, color, or national origin, (6) restricting rental of rooms in a housing accommodation to persons of one sex, (7) persons convicted of drug-related offenses, and (8) persons engaged in real estate appraisals from taking into account factors other than those based on unlawful discrimination or familial status in furnishing appraisals. Special rules apply under these exemptions regarding older person.
In addition, the law's amendment added a new exemption from the Act's protections with regard to the decision to rent based on a person's sexual orientation for a unit in an owner-occupied residential building with five or fewer units (including in which the owner resides) (the "5 Unit Owner Occupied Exemption"). This new exemption explicitly permits a person eligible to make decisions regarding whether to rent to someone on that person's sexual orientation.
As a result, the existing exemptions under the Act apply to the protections added for sexual orientation and additionally, a special exemption--the 5 Unit Owner Occupied Exemption also applies.
Do the new protections interfere with religious beliefs?
The new protections do not include any explicit interference. The protections with respect to prohibition against discrimination due to sexual orientation do not extend beyond the four protected categories - employment, housing, fair credit and public accommodation, as narrowed by their exemptions. The amendments included no provisions that would supersede a religious institution's First Amendment right to hire and fire according to the tenets of its religion.
Do the new protections address the "bathroom" issue?
The Act specifically protects the availability of "public accommodations." Sections 5-102 of the Act provides that it is a civil rights violation for any person on the basis of unlawful discrimination to "[d]eny or refuse to anther the full and equal enjoyment of the facilities and services of any public place of accommodation." Section 5-102(A)(2) specifically includes bathrooms and restrooms in a list of examples of places of public accommodation.
Of course, restrooms are typically gender specific for men and women. Section 5-103(b) of the Act permits this sort of sex discrimination. The City of Chicago anti-discrimination ordinance included an explicit provision addressing the public accommodation issue for transgendered persons (Chap. 2-160-070(c)). It provides that a person is entitled to gender privileges based on the gender marker on the driver's license, state identification card or passport. Similar language is included in the Cook County's provision (Ordinance 93-O-13, Section V(b)(d)).
It is presumed that a similar standard applies under the Act. This is because the definition of "sexual orientation," which is protected class under the Act as amended, includes "gender-related identity, whether or not traditionally associated with the person's designated sex at birth."
The Chicago and Cook County provisions merely clarify the standard. This presumption is consistent with specific discussion of the law's amendment of the Act to provide such protection for the transgendered in legislative committee sessions, prior to the passage. Accordingly, the Act should protecte a transgendered person from discrimination regarding the use of public restrooms provided the use is consistent with the gender marker on their driver's license, state identification card or passport.
Where can I find a copy of the new protections?
Public Act 93-1078(1/21/2005) ha been incorporated into the Illinois Human Rights Act set forth in Chapter 775 of Illinois' Compiled Statutes. It can be found on the State of Illinois website under "laws." It can also be found in many public and private libraries.
How are the protections of the Act enforced?
In general, the protections are principally enforced by the Illinois Human Rights Commission. There is an existing procedure for bringing complaints before the Commission. Available remedies are specified in the Act. Some of the potentially available remedies include the issuance of a cease and desist order; actual damages (as determined by Commission) for injury or loss suffered; hiring, reinstatement, promotion, backpay and fringe benefits previously denied; restoration of membership or restoration to programs previously denied; admission to public accommodations; coverage of attorneys fees and costs; and otherwise making the complainant whole. http://www.state.il.us/dhr/

I need some holster suggestions. I have an MTAC for my XD and I love it. Its comfortable and allows me the generous cant that I prefer. I'm adding my p250c to my EDC rotation and I need a holster for it. Comp-tac makes a MTAC for it, but I have the nickel slide on the Sig and I worry about the kydex scuffing or scratching the finish so I'm thinking of trying a leather holster for this gun.
I'm looking for recommendations, please only recommend hoslters that meet the following requirements:
Good retention without any type of retention devices (thumb break)
Doesn't collapse when weapon is removed
15-20 degree forward cant, or fully adjustable cant.
I'd rather not spend more than $100 (this isn't a hard rule, but over that price will take some serious convincing)
and I prefer not to wait 6 months on a waiting list.
Are there any holsters out there like this?!

An entire class of 1st graders has been medically cleared by doctors Tuesday night after their six-year old classmate brought 11 bundles of heroin to school.
Charges are currently pending against the first graders mother.
Narcotics detectives serving a search warrant on the West Philadelphia home of the 6-year old girl police say brought bags of heroin into class at Barry Elementary.
One by one parents of first graders left children's hospital after seeing doctors.
They all got the disturbing call telling them their children may have been exposed to heroin. The entire first grade class was escorted on to a school bus and taken to children's hospital for possible heroin exposure.
"They interviewed them, they had to test them to make sure they didn't have any drugs in their system. They said if he should start acting funny of something like that to bring him back to the hospital," said Danitra Saloui, a concerned parent.
Police say a first grade girl brought 11 bundles of heroin to school. It was discovered when the girl had one of the packs inside her mouth.
"One of the packages looks like it was bitten and we do have one student saying the young lady who did bring the substance to school did have it in her mouth" said Philadelphia Police Lt. Johnny Walker.
The little girl's mother and father were brought to Southwest Detectives for questioning. How the girl got them and into school is under investigation.
"We do not frisk student first graders when they are coming to school. So the student probably had it somewhere concealed. But didn't know what it was," said Fernando Gallard of the Philadelphia school district.
Now as kids were getting ready for summer vacation. Parents of these kids will be getting an unexpected lesson at home.
"She has no idea what drugs are, She thought they were passing around a toy. So I think unfortunately I have to teach her about drugs at 7 years old," said parent Kristina Perry.
Police say charges against one or both of the parents are pending. They are both at Southwest Detectives.
The 6 year old girl is still with DHS investigators tonight.

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > Getting My Baby Back
For Patrick1 Reviews
Gerard sees a face in the crowd he thought he would never see again
I looked out into the crowd and saw her. Could it really be her after all these years? I have to get my thoughts together so I can say something about Patrick.
"Patrick was one of my best friends growing up his life was cut too short. Before he died we had lost that closeness and I regret it every single day. He even saved my life once. I won't bore you with the details I just wish I was there to save his. Bob has put together a movie with the help of our guitarist Ray Toro. I hope you like it."
I look up after the speech and she's gone. Where'd she go? The lights went off and the clip started. I have to hand it to Bob and Ray they did a nice job. Since the day he asked Alyssa out I hated Bob, if that wasn't enough he stole Patrick away from me as a friend. I often ask myself why he chose our band to play and me specifically to help out. I guess he never had the problem, I did. The clip was over and Bob thanked everyone for coming and that we would be playing at ten.
I slowly made my way to Bob and went to shake his hand. "You look good, you lost a lot of weight since school."
"Thanks and thanks for coming," said Bob. "It would have meant a lot to Patrick."
"The truth Bob, why did you hire us?"
"Because even at the end he had a lot of faith and love for you."
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.
"Because you were too busy blaming me for his death." He just walked away from me.
It was so fucking true. Bob was with Patrick when he was shot they were just going to Bob's house after school. They got caught in the middle of a robbery the guy went to shoot Bob and Patrick got in the way. Honestly I think Bob never forgave himself but I know I didn't and it was so much easier to blame Bob. I can't believe ten years had passed already.
I decided to go outside and have a smoke before we started. I got out there and lit my cigarette when I noticed her standing there shaking.
"Alyssa?" I asked though I knew it was here.
I smiled that she remembered me.
"Hey it's been a while. How've you been?" I asked. God I've missed her. She is without a doubt my one and only true love. I've dated girls since she's left I am a guy after all, but nothing serious and nowhere near the way I felt for her.
"Good actually, I've been clean and sober for almost two years."
"I've been sober a little over a year myself. We missed you at your parent's funeral."
"I didn't know they died at the time," she said.
"Where were you?" I asked wondering if I could handle the answer.
"Living on the streets," she started to tear up.
"The whole time you were gone?"
"No the last two years I've been living with a woman in her forties and at the beginning my aunt in Connecticut. It's the middle years I was homeless and high."
I was so afraid to ask the next question, "Why did you leave? I was so heartbroken when you left."
She looked at me with shock, "That's why you were fucking Cynthia."
I looked down guiltily, "You heard about that?"
"I saw it."
"Baby it was only one night. I was drunk and I missed you so fucking much. Where did you go?"
Alyssa's POV
Do I answer him or keep it a secret only for the father.

You Really Got a Hold on Me - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
A Smokey kinda day.
entrepreneurial street kids
Hend and Haneen
were scuffed unclean,
soft curls matted down to stone,
infancy primed for the nightly grind,
innocence excised —
no other life
makes sense,
they say,
Cairo roads their home.
Keenly seated
in the cold lap of El Hussein,
for the entrepreneurial roam,
the beginner's hustle
for pennies from abroad.
Thrown a pound, a quarter,
a euro — sparks
to fly through brick alleyways
catching the souvenir man
with the frowning face,
Nefertiti's bust (Made in PRC)
menacingly shakes,
staying whole despite the snap
from jagged ground,
give me coins I know!
a cold exchange
then triumph.
profit from small
to large hands —
mere street regulation,
just like any other job.
Light the sheesha
to smoke him out,
make him lots of cash,
coal ash patted
off a yellow dress,
by El Hussein.
Haneen watched
as almonds were tossed
into steaming sahlab,
lips licked with every plunging sliver,
small eyes stirred along with the spoon,
but no cheap roles
were being acted out
by this one,
how decent.
I bought her a roast chicken.
Seated in the warm lap
of foreign compassion,
she focused,
negligible morsels torn carefully, torn
off the poor poultry's bones-
smiling triumph.
congested throat, greasy lips
solved with stacks of cotton tissues,
Pepsi sipped casually,
she nodded to the lecture,
you could be a doctor, wallahy,
you could leave this place.
conviction, yes.
Allah, the pleasures of benevolence!
No such oratory
was directed to her before,
surely she'd remember -
smile, wave cute
to the stupid foreigner.
don't aim to save the wretched child,
mocked, a righteous mockery,
irretrievable innocence shuddered
behind threatening eyes,
we gave up on you, crude child
yet, you were not the problem.
Hard-to-follow tales of hateful women,
lewd baby girls and desecration
behind the marble of the mosque
told from a child's POV
tainted the taste of my tea
don't tell such stories, Hend!
and, spitting, little girl,
doesn't make you pretty!
propriety, ethics,
fed to a child who does not eat —
I'm spit on.
Behind El Hussein
she blew her nose
on a mustard skirt
while Haneen prevailed,
a fearful existence.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I wish you all truth and love. :)
a love story in apathy
Curfew shuttered out and unadmitted
from passing through,
slits in a Cairo balcony
built generations past
then jasmine-fitted.
Society was lifted in the living room,
time overthrown, no reigning fear
before I awakened to a melody,
breezing through my youth,
I listened for the very first time,
sweeter than the years of hearing,
I then rose naturally, unafraid
raw and simple,
unpolluted, unlike my Nile,
heels lifted following a flattened ankle
after the other, one more time
pointed toes to every rattle
after which a chin
touched "thud" onto smoked parquet.
The tyranny of a pelvis is overwhelming,
psychological complexes dissolve:
two, unthinking
for him.
We watched horror stories
with characters that resembled us
splattering blue and red hue onto our walls,
Through the purple haze hatred blossomed
in every corner inhabited by the "servile",
the offspring of poverty:
four-fingered enemies forfeiting
to heroic nationalism in camouflage, clap
clap your weary hands out
for the military,
We shrugged
as "brothers kill!" was chanted
by toddlers.
But the roads were slick past 7,
reflective palettes of steel, light and dust
paved the streets in calm,
silence, silence, silence—
then honks a Peugeot
dedicated to shaking us out
of wet dreams
of the respective Pharaohs
we created,
our own creation
the nerve of them,
locking us in our homes
forced to watch their comings
and goings,
lost in the details
of our nation's tragedy, lost
plummeting into comparisons
of Bangladesh or
- Allah forbid! -
Fairy tales with characters
that resembled us,
myths binding us
to our squalorly to-come.
But nothing passed through our room,
disinterested and disconnected
in aims of sanity
"which Brothers?",
voice too hoarse
to verbalize apathy,
our stories mattered more
than theirs.
the nights tucked
in the suburbs of media exploited chaos
made nothing
of it all,
All was dampened cushions,
amber skin compared to the rough of palm,
freckles on youth-bent noses,
sighs annihilating the desires of philosophy,
a Mounir track and muted lies—
the audible fabric
enrobing our search for truth
in a ragged city of falsehood,
the fleeting hours
at changing angles (and shades),
beneath the moon:
Straight ahead, sunset red, perched atop the Sea.
Chin lifted, shying away, full and apricot.
Neck bent upwards, silver and distant, taunting
Far from our streets lined
in mangled spirits, neglected minds,
we swam clueless as the moon,
classifying parrot fish in the coral ruins
of our tourism industry,
even the Sea
went silent,
as our minds.

Everyone in this country is lying to one another.
You know that feeling you get from super philosophical, life-affirming quotes? Don't just let that feeling reside in your psyche for seconds, then fade, losing its potential to become praxis, inevitably falling into the realm of almost mindless (mindless!!!) cliche. Think about those quotes. Find more like them. Read full texts that change your perceptions about the world, other people and your own self, first and foremost. Let those ideas swell in your mind. Let them breathe and come to life, if not in your behavior, then in your outlook. Believe them, genuinely. Let them change your entire self for the better, Mobilize. Rise.
Don't just re-blog and let the idea die. That's not the point of it.

I read the first few pages then skimmed through the rest of the book. It's nice. It's like an over-simplified, somewhat romanticized distillation of everything I learned in my years studying philosophy. If you actually look at these postulations the right way and manage to internalize them and live by them naturally, which is something I've been working on for the past year before even knowing about this text, your life really will change. Completely. The text isn't as wishy-washy or sophistic as it may seem, actually. But this manual, or even catechism of sorts, will not change your life if it isn't proven to you on a day-to-day basis, if you don't come to these conclusions completely on your own. Thanks for sending me the message. I don't know if it's one of those copy & paste spam-joints or not, but it really made my day… The first quote in the text genuinely affirmed something I just realized today after a clash I had. The text gave me at least a bit of clarity about an issue that's been bugging me all day. Thanks.
To write poetry, I mean poetry, all you're essentially required to do is think. Sit down with a pen and paper and reflect without stress. Do that for a few minutes. Better yet, a night or two. If you're especially patient with your words, which you should be, do this everyday for the course of two months. Shit, think for a year about the poem. Think and write along. Don't sit around and only think, which is interestingly enough an idiotic thing to do as a writer, think and write. Apart from distilling (and surprisingly, detailing) the memory, idea or concept you hope to write a poem about, you'll then know how to utilize it to the fullest extent. Eventually, a theme will be discovered amidst the abstractions. The poem's very own sweet, distinctive voice will begin to resonate through your thoughts. The beginning, middle and end will form themselves effortlessly, if not logically (to you). You'll thread a figurative and structural flow through each word, line, stanza and chapter calmly and confidently. The rhythm your poem is asking for will begin to play in your mind. You'll no longer just want to say something, you'll need to. And you'll know just how.
It all sounds simple and almost magical. But, coaxing your literary frame of mind into crafting art from mere memories or ideas takes unbearable dedication. Your mind has to be dedicated to the piece all day… for days on end. Can you be that patient?
Everything could go wrong, Alexandria.
You could put me down, run my body through garbage
day and night, throw neina through 24 hour chaos,
tell her not to demand her age and the age of others,
feed her cement bread, put false dates on her inhalers,
line the lanterns giddo picked from Mansheya
-in dust-
twist his knee tripping over potholes in Ragheb,
lay him in a bed and give him nothing but a screen
projecting murder, falsehood and division,
strip him of his value, give him chicken feed for retiring,
keep my uncle up all night watching your sky put out every star,
worried about a tomorrow unpromised for his children,
young men bleak with the fresh wrinkles of failure
yet to come, always more to come.
Put my sisters through the fear
of never being loved without secrecy,
safe behind closed doors of "religious officiality"
make them check their expiry dates, wondering
how much their value on the market of women
has plummeted.
Birth children in littered alleys,
mind too molded to the street
to know their lives are plentiful
with sorrow-
the representation of where we
(and Alexandria)
have gone wrong,
a coin thrown to them
in repulsion and anger;
anger over what exactly?
I've always wanted to know.
Drown us all
then humor us with tears of Winter,
polishing our streets before they're muddied
all over again.
But when the sky over the Mediterranean
grows apricot, palms a shadow in the maghrebeyya,
sea still and silver, dressed up
in clouds and embellished
with golden lights, showing off—
we forget it all
and understand why,
despite it all, Alexandria,
we can't leave.
naira badawi
Learning to take it slow.
Alexandria doesn't need filters.
I'm so utterly consumed by this idea that it's somehow become its own separate entity tagging along in all of my travels, accompanying me into every dream.
don't drown me, Alexandria
Alexandria tugged silver sardines onto the shore
a disappointment she witnessed by the sand
an hour spent in wait
for the net to reach land
by the transgressing microbuses
coughing death into her sea,
we waited and watched
and tiny silver sardines twinkled
under the clouded sky,
I worshipped her
while watching her shake
from utter disappointment.
I cried elegies for my city
when a woman with a tied up head
lost a shoe to a puddle by tram Victoria,
granny begging in brown chuckled
sense of humor alive
despite the cataract clouding her life
and the grit in her crumbling teeth.
My people have nothing but Allah
and comedy
keeping them sane.
A boy who spoke emotional tales of science
muttered fears between sedative clouds.
On her boulders he rummaged
through theories to back up all of God,
and I understood my self,
the events around
and inside of us
were beginning to make sense.
Give me one day
where I need not maneuver cautiously
through my own streets,
no mother's-body-part cussing
in the name of Allah and vindicated manhood.
One day without dreams of meat
being unrealistic, one day
without the hunger that's lead to animal methods
of survival, immorality normalized.
Protect me for one day, Alexandria,
carry me through your moody Sea,
don't let me drown—
Don't drown me,
don't drown me, Alexandria.

lessons from a grandmother who never dreamt
"No, no, no!" Neina put her hands to her chest. Taken by what I had just said, she closed her eyes tight, trying to escape the condition she had conjured up in her mind. "She lived to be 145?!" She shook her head melodramatically, pushing her plate aside from a loss of appetite. "May Allah never show anyone such an awful fate!" Neina was dead serious. The idea of living another 70 years thoroughly terrified her. "What was her memory like before she died?"
"I don't know if I believe this, but they say it was perfect. No Alzheimer's or anything,"
"Oh no!" She gripped the jam jar as if it would keep her steady. "Poor woman wasn't given the blessing of forgetfulness?! No, don't let me imagine it!" If you had gone up to her that very moment and told her you were stuck with a rare terminal disease, she wouldn't have shown you the same sympathy. There wasn't an ailment more severe to her than old age.
"You wouldn't want to live another 70 years, neina?" Looking up, she focused on my face with a pleasant balance of confusion and utter condescension.
"Don't ask me that question, my child! I don't want to imagine it, 7atta." She shook her head like she was being offered a portion of pork feet, if not repulsed, then completely put off. "Let's not discuss this anymore, by Allah," Her soap opera reaction was pure dahab.
"Why not live to be 145, neina?" I asked again with an air of sarcasm. The conversation would surely be teased out of her.
"I can't, habibti. There's no way!" Her "no" lasted for about a minute. "75 extra years in our times would've been liveable, maybe, But not in yours!"
"Our time's more difficult?" I pretended like it was my very first time hearing this.
She nodded furiously. "Of course it is! The odds are against you kids!" She started reciting supplications for our poor, wretched generation. "Poor kids. No jobs, no marriage, the streets are dirty, people are unkind. Poor kids. Tab'an, our days were better,"
"Maybe they were "better" in that sense, okay. But could you really say the odds weren't against you at all, neina?" I passed her the translucent container of salty, white cheese.
She received the Tupperware nonchalantly. "No, they weren't. Really."
I nodded. "Then why wasn't it possible for you to become what you wanted to become?" Of the things I knew about my beloved grandmother, I had absolutely no knowlege of her dreams. I didn't know what she dreamt of or if she ever really dreamt at all. I just assumed she did.
"What did I want to become?" She was asking me. Looking me in the eyes, wondering if I knew. "I never wanted to become anything." She shrugged and bit into her half moon brown bread.
"Nothing, neina?"
Neina had her answer ready and drew it out quickly. "I never had the opportunity to aspire in the first place, habibti." She spoke as if it were a matter of fact, as if it were something she didn't need to even say.
I didn't know what to say.
Until recently, I had no idea what it felt like to live solely off of the hope of fulfilling one very specific dream. Now that I do, I couldn't imagine regressing to the mindstate I used to inhabit. It made me wonder, are most people like neina?
Naturally, the most potentially remarkable women are the ones struck with the most devastating conditions. Neina fell neatly into this pleasant cliche. Neina's mother passed away when she neina was still a kid. Being the only girl in a family of seven, she was responsible for more than what normal children these days can even comprehend. Obviously, with a tight domestic schedule, she was forced to leave school before completing her i'dadeyya. After which it only became a matter if time until she was wed off.
"Of course after I got married, I became even more dedicated to my domestic duties. I did everything." She tilted her head back slightly, playing with the butter knife. "I stayed here for the kids. That's my only dream, actually; to raise my children well. It's all I ever wanted. I stuck around just for them."
Neina had been fleshing out a ton of regrets lately, primarily regarding my grandfather. Generally, giddo and neina had become noticeably grumpier than they used to be. They had both went from handing us candy and termis, to imposing upon us grim advice on how to treat others. They were from an age of trustworthy, simple Egyptians. The Egypt we now live in isn't theirs. They fear the theif, the harasser and the terrorist. All their recent ideologies revolved around their fear of this foreign, squalorly Alexandria. Their grumpiness not only affected us, but also one another. Neina's old wounds were just now beginning to anger her.
"What do you mean you 'stuck around'? Did you want to leave, aslan?" I slumped my shoulders.
She shrugged, pretending she didn't want to go on.
"You know, a woman stays grounded just for her children. I stuck around just for them."
"But, wait, you didn't answer me. Were you ever interested in leaving, neina?" I wondered if I had gone too far pressing on with this question. However, if she proceeded to answering it openly, I was 100% sure she would eventually steer the conversation into the topic of her marital woes.
"Of course I did! I thought about it a million times. He waa awful to me. His entire family. I was locked up, you know? They all lived in this building. Can you imagine that? And woould he ever stand up for me? No, never! And you ask if I ever wanted to leave. If I ever thought about leaving. Of course I did!" She waved her hand at my apparent naivete.
"But, did you ever think about it enough to actually plan to do it, neina?"
She paused for a moment. "No, never"
Egyptian women hardly ever leave. They hardly ever "escape" or run away. They hardly ever place their interests above their children's. I remembered a friend of mine telling me about the day her mother ran out on her and her father. Knees bent, sitting on the curb, she called her mother "selfish" and "destructive". Bearing nothing but bitterness, she couldn't excuse her behavior even when she imagined what it felt like to wear her mother's shoes. A mother must let her dream go if it interferes with the happiness of her family. It was an implicit notion to most people. No need to even elaborate…
It was apparent neina's mind had gone elsewhere, much as mine had. Eyes far, she said, "Even if I had left. Where would I have gone? I'm uneducated, so I have no job, no money, no way to support my children, no home of my own. Would I go to my brother's home? No, he has his own children, I couldn't take mine there. I had nowhere to go. And even if I did? Where would I go to escape the talk?"
"Ah," I didn't have much to say. All I ever did was complain about how my autonomy was supposedly stomped on the day my husband told me to pull out my nose ring. It made me put things into perspective. But more so, it made me wonder how much longer women will have to "put things in perspective" in order to willingly settle for the degree of liberty they were given. 'We're better off than others', we say. But, it could be better. Why can't it just be better? I had left neinaand visited my own issues.
Neina had grown restless, I could tell. "Yallah, alhamdulillah," She started clearing the table, putting lids on respective containers then refilling the fridge.
"Alhamdulillah," I said genuinely.
"Like I said, all I wanted was for my kids to be brought up well. To know that when they have children, they'll be just as good if I had brought them up myself. That they'll be intelligent and enduring. Alhamdulillah, God made my dream come true." She patted me on the shoulder and took the plates into the kitchen.

Concordia showcased their considerable depth in taking the top five singles matches and top two doubles matches. No Ole player won a set in the aforementioned seven contests, with only two tallying as many as four games in any one set.
Chase Donaldson 07 rallied from one set down to prevent a clean sweep and pick up the win in the number six singles tussle. First years Drew Erie and David Gruner teamed up for the Oles only doubles at the number three doubles spot.
The loss leaves the Oles at 2-4 in the MIAC, good enough for fifth in the conference. Gustavus and St. Thomas currently rest at 4-0 and Carleton is 3-0 against MIAC foes.
Concordia opened the season with four consecutive losses, including an absolute shellacking at the hands of Gustavus. However, the Cobbers soon reeled off seven straight victories, including one over Division II South Dakota State, tying a school record for consecutive wins in a mens tennis season.
With Fridays victory over St. Olaf, the Cobbers solidfied their fourth place standing in the MIAC.
Despite the recent setback, the Oles have a chance to draw within a game of .500 in the MIAC when they travel to St. Paul, Minn. to take on Bethel Saturday. The Royals have just one win in conference play and managed only one win in 36 individual matches against all MIAC opponents other than Macalester.
Bethel could be just the jumpstart St. Olaf needs to ignite a second-half run and achieve top form heading into the MIAC Tournament, set for April 29-30.
To truly signal the end of the first part of the season, the action finally moves outdoors for good. Without the benefit of a spring break trip this season, the team has no in-game experience outdoors, but should make a smooth transition as they attempt to nab their first win in April and gear up for the stretch run.
The Oles look to flush the Royals Saturday starting at 1 p.m.

WaterRouge said...
Back before wrath only the wealthy could enjoy spamming Levitate, the rest were lucky to have one maybe two light feathers on hand. Shaman with their water walking? Forget about it, both murlocs AND naga dropped what THEY needed.
You should probably also talk about racial priest abilities too. Who had what and how essentially at that time certain races as priests were overpowered/underpowered.
WaterRouge said...
Racial abilities from memory:
Night Elf - Star(something): Channeled spell which wasn't broken by line of sight. I have terrible memories of NE priests in BGs just spamming this on me from the roof with nothing I could do to counter it.
Undead - Devouring Plague: Pretty much the same thing although I think there was some kind of stat debuff associated with it too.
Troll - Shadow Ward: Lightning shield but with shadow orbs and a cooldown.
Human/Dwarf (I can't remember which had what)- Desperate Prayer: Same thing it is now but much weaker and I think a more substantial mana cost/cooldown.
Blood Elves - Mana (something): They channeled it and got mana back. This was back when Blood Elf racials were completely ridiculous. Spam 3 mana taps on the target then use mana torrent to silence the target and get mana back equal to the stacks you applied.
Draenei - Actually can't remember this but I know it wasn't Gift of the Naaru...or was it? This was back when certain classes had certain versions of heroic presence so I don't recall. Most draenei were rolling shaman anyway.
Humans had feedback, which was a mana drain when they hit someone in melee.
And Dwarves had Fear Ward, which was why most Alliance raiding guilds required raiding priests to reroll Dwarf.
Horde guilds didn't have that drama, since our Priest Racials weren't that great for PVE.
WoWWiki still has a page listing the old priest racial spells here:
Night elves had a dodge buff and an arcane damage spell
Humans had feedback (which was kind of like a Mana Burn weapon imbue) and Desperate Prayer.
Dwarves had Desperate Prayer and Fear Ward.
Draenei had a mana regen ability (which as I understand it, eventually became Hymn of Hope), later nerfed to Chastise, and Fear Ward.
Forsaken had Touch of Weakness, an on-next-melee ability (which is to say, something you were unlikely to use once you got your first wand), plus Devouring Plague.
Trolls had a hex, which was like Touch of Weakness only without having to melee, and their shadowy version of Lightning Shield (which for a while actually displayed with a bright blue and white ball orbiting the priest.)
Blood Elves had Touch of Weakness, and... something else. Not Mana Tap/Arcane Torrent; that was something every blood elf had, not just priests.
vendeurfrancais said...
they took starfall away and gave it to druids, the saddest day....
of course, in wrath we had holy nova at like 20, now its at 61, which kinda blows. I did the anathema quest on an alt finally, one i've been playing around with for years, and didn't have holy nova, had to spec disc and make the skellies hit me and kill themselves, because i had no aoe and i forgot holy water.
illusionvreality said...
Consume Magic was the other BE Racial. It dispelled a both on YOU to give you a piss poor amount of mana back that was usually less than the amount of mana spent to cast the buff!
Eregos ftw! said...
The priest racial was StarSHARDS, and it was totally different then StarFALL.
Yeah, the Feedback racial was really stupid. It didn't help that our Inner Fire buff added attack power (I kid you not.) Oh, and it only lasted 3 minutes. Still, IF was the one thing that convinced me to start leveling my priest again - I tried rolling a pally because I was annoyed how weak my priest was. Getting IF at level 12 made a huge difference.
I liked questing, but hated leveling. Thanks to Feedback and Inner Fire, I thought I was supposed to melee stuff. Cue noob priest running around Stranglethorn Vale whacking mobs with a stick like a moron. >_< And speaking of STV, I tried with no avail to get people to group with me. I practically begged General for some help, saying I could make it go faster by reducing down time, but no, no one wanted to group. That is, until I hit 50 and could do BRD. Then suddenly EVERYONE wanted to be my friend.
vendeurfrancais said...
i was being kinda sarcastic, but the abilities really aren't that different, starfall is like a beefed up version of starshards, and they got it at the same time as my priest lost her racial.
calling them both starfall was an attempt to draw a parallel between the two abilities.

Freemasons in Essex, England, UK.
St Laurence Lodge is a freemasons' lodge in the Masonic Province of Essex. It is warranted under the United Grand Lodge of England. Founded in 1935, it has always met in the town of Upminster, Essex in the London Borough of Havering on the East side of London and welcomes new members.
We are a progressive and active lodge with a full programme of interesting meetings and events planned for this year and beyond. They include ceremonies for the initiation of new candidates who want to become freemasons, including a rare triple initiation to take place in November 2014. Also for the further advancement of our brethren, some of whom will continue their masonic development in specially arranged ceremonies at other lodges associated with St Laurence.

New members
We welcome decent and trustworthy men who want to become freemasons and learn about the history, secrets and mysteries of Ancient Freemasonry. Who want to be a part of a worldwide fraternity whose members enjoy each other's company and who are normally at least 21 years of age. If younger men (who must be a minimum of 18 years old) are interested in becoming freemasons, their applications will certainly be seriously considered.
To learn who can become freemasons, how to become a freemason and how to become a member of St Laurence Lodge, please see the Join Us page. Or use the contact form to email the Lodge Secretary. We understand how daunting it may feel to contact someone you don't know but you will always receive a warm and friendly welcome here at St Laurence Lodge. Please be assured that external rank and fortune are not at all important to freemasons or freemasonry. Neither are religious choices, colour, creed or sexual preferences. At St Laurence Lodge all suitable men are truly welcome. So if you would like to find out more about freemasons and our lodge, how to become a freemason and how to join us, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
At a recent meeting, the Provincial Grand Chaplain gave an oration for the benefit of a newly made brother. He spoke about the principles of Masonry and the fact that all freemasons within its order are equal. It is a very nice piece and can be read here.
The magazine, Freemasonry Today, is an official publication from the United Grand Lodge of England, packed with information, articles and stories. It is available online without charge and is well worth looking at if you are interested in freemasonry.
Another excellent magazine which is also now available online is the Essex Mason.
Our membership
As a Lodge, we are old enough to have traditions which we enjoy and young enough not to be swamped by them. Our ages range from 23 to nearly 90. We have brethren in the building trades, a printer, people in insurance and property. An accountant, an author, a trainer, a commercial diver, people in computing and office equipment, a book binder, a taxi driver, retired folk and so on. St Laurence Lodge members generally live in and around South East Essex and East London. In Romford, Hornchurch and Upminster (within the Borough of Havering), Brentwood, Grays, Southend, Harlow, Barking and Dagenham, Chelmsford, Billericay, Witham and Basildon.
When and where
We meet formally four times a year on a Saturday at the Upminster Masonic Hall in Deyncourt Gardens, Upminster, Essex, England. It is conveniently accessed by road and rail. Our meetings usually start around 3:00pm. The following festive board finishes at about 9:30pm. There is plenty of parking at the Masonic Hall should you wish to drive there or Upminster Station is only a 10 minute walk. Many other freemasons' lodges also meet at this masonic hall. They include our family lodges comprising Ingrebourne Lodge, Abbots Hall Lodge, Engayne Lodge and Upminster Hall Lodge.
Our Lodge of Instruction (which runs weekly from September to May) is held on Tuesday evenings from 7:30pm to 9:30pm in Hornchurch, Essex.
The Future of Freemasonry
Many of you will have heard of the recently released independent report on the future of Freemasonry. This was produced by the respected Social Issues Research Centre in Oxford. As Nigel Brown, the Grand Secretary said, "the report suggests that, contrary to much misleading commentary, Freemasonry does in fact demonstrate genuine openness and transparency. It concludes that Freemasonry is arguably more relevant today than ever before. In particular"………read more.

Academy Award nominated actress Melissa McCarthy is in Atlanta filming "ID Theft." She and husband Ben Falcone were able to work in some fun time this week, taking in a Braves game.
"ID Theft" also stars Jason Bateman (who's been spotted at Maggiano's in Buckhead) and Amanda Peet (no sightings yet; I'll let you know when I hear of anything).
The comedy concerns a guy who has his identity stolen by a woman. Hilarity somehow ensues. Bateman was here a couple of years ago filming "The Change-Up," co-starring Ryan Reynolds. That movie was released last year to not-great reviews. (The LA Times observed soberly: "The movie, directed by "Wedding Crashers" alum David Dobkin, isn't very good.")
Moviefone reports that "ID Theft" is coming to us from "Horrible Bosses" director Seth Gordon with Steve Conrad ("The Pursuit of Happyness") and Craig Mazin ("Hangover Part II") also working on the screenplay, so perhaps that bodes well.
"ID Theft" has filmed in numerous metro Atlanta locations including Perimeter Mall and the 191 Peachtree Building. It's heading to Midtown next.

There is a film crew base camp set up at the horse stables/field on the corner of Northside & Broadland. They're filming on King Street in Buckhead. Anyone know what's filming?

"I'm not sure it's a different question." Michael explained, and proceeded to tell me of his many careers and interests. It started about 30 years ago...
"After going to and dropping out from a series of colleges," Michael recalled, "I came back from an extended trip to India and needed to figure out some way to make a living while I put myself through law school. I was playing guitar in a bar at a college town up in New Hampshire and after one of the concerts, a guy in the audience invited me to visit his lutherie (guitar making) shop. I was just completely floored by it and decided on the spot that's what I wanted to do."
But the guy turned down Michael's request for an apprenticeship. Frustrated but undeterred, he ended up moving to south Florida and apprenticing, not to a luthier, but to a furniture finishing and repair business. As he mastered upholstery, furniture repair, refinishing, and finish repair, Michael went up the ranks of the various finishing shops.
"Eventually, I reached the top of my game in the south Florida, Miami area, but then I realized the best finishing in the country was being done up in New York. So I moved to New York and was promptly told I didn't know anything! A finisher in the New York trade was expected to be able to do any kind of finish from any period. And since it took a lifetime to learn, you weren't expected to do anything else. Finishers never touched woodworking or upholstery. It was sort of like going through a second apprenticeship. I started learning and over seven years, I managed to climb through the ranks of New York finishing shops."
During those years, Michael never forgot his passion for guitar making. He'd been playing them, repairing them, and reading everything he could find on lutherie and guitar repair for years. In 1978, he made his first guitar ... around the same time he quit the finishing shop.
"Someone saw it, and just on the strength of it, invited me in as a partner in a lutherie shop in New York ... and that's when my guitar making career started."
To find larger and cheaper space, they soon relocated to New Jersey. All went fine until one day there was a disturbance in the downstairs showroom.
"They were trying to get rid of this old guy who'd come into the shop. They thought he was ranting, but he was trying to explain that he'd been in the coatings industry all his life and was looking for someone to share his life's accumulated information. I knew how to manipulate or control finishes, but he knew what to do when something went wrong or the unexpected happened ... how to troubleshoot problems. So he'd stop in periodically and teach me about formulation and chemistry."
Even as his reputation as a guitar maker was growing, his newfound understanding of the chemistry of finishes was soon to take his career in a new direction. While listening to a lecture on finishing at a guitar convention in Colorado, he was stunned at how little the speaker knew. As he talked to people about his concerns, he was invited to speak on finishing at the next convention. His presentation got such a good response that he was asked to speak again the next night.
"Jim Cummins approached me," explained Michael, "and asked if I would consider writing an article for Fine Woodworking magazine. I'd been writing a regular column on guitar repair for Vintage Guitar Bulletin since 1980, so I had some prior experience. Ironically, my first article was not on finishing ... it was on using tools from other trades. But it occurred to me that there was a lot of competition for the few writing dollars out there. It would be easier to make a living if I filled a niche ... and they were always looking for articles on finishing"
Michael split up with his guitar business partner around that time. And though he still had a secondary interest in guitars, he began a new career. Jim Cummins became his first editor at Taunton Press.
"He was the one who taught me that you had to understand a whole lot more than you actually write," Michael explained. "It's like the tip of an iceberg. He would constantly challenge me about why this step would be done ... so I wasn't just passing along hearsay. It kept me delving further into the field, and I started taking courses in finish and coatings chemistry. I learned the lingo of the field, which allowed me to talk to people in laboratories. Every time I learned something new, a whole set of other things would click into place. I never had a dream to write about finishing, but nobody else understand both formulating and how to manipulate the stuff. I was in a unique position."
Michael worked for Fine Woodworking and Taunton for seven years. During this same time he also worked with Martin Guitar, designing their D1 line, and helping them set up a factory in Mexico. He also started the Tacoma Guitar Company, designing their instruments, setting up the factory, training people, and taking it to the first show. But he continued to focus on writing
When he decided he wanted to write a regular column that would cover finishes, starting with the basics and building from there, he found a home for his idea at American Woodworking over at Rodale Press, where he wrote the column "Just Finishing" during most of the nineties. The column became popular and eventually led to books and videos back at Taunton.
Today, Michael lives in Washington state and considers himself primarily a writer. He still has plenty to say about finishing in his books and videos, on his web site, for Woodworker's Journal print magazine, and for this eZine. He also does some consulting work, some for the guitar industry and some for the finishing business. And lately he's been called as an expert witness to help settle litigation involving finishes.
"I think we all have three careers in our life," Michael laughed, "so I've had my three."
After all these years does he have a finishing philosophy?
"I have an adage: Finish firewood first. People open up a can of material they've never used before and start slathering it on a piece they've just spent 400 hours building. I don't understand why. But if you know it's just a scrap for the fireplace, you're more willing to try things and learn, without worrying about anyone seeing it."

Monday night was a big one for two recent winners of the Shuler Hensley Awards For Excellence in High School Musical Theatre organized by the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
At the second annual Nati0nal High School Music Theater Awards (or Jimmys) in New York, Alexandria Payne, a recent graduate of Tri-Cities High School in East Point, was named best actress.
Payne won best actress in late March at the Hensleys, which qualified her for the New York competition. Monday's prize, for her performance as Ti Moune on "Once on This Island," brought with it a $10,000 scholarship.
And Arsalan Akhavan, a rising senior at the Atlanta International School who won the best actor prize at the Hensleys, was awarded a special trophy for most improved at the Jimmys, good for a $2,500 scholarship.
Both metro high schools are considered powerhouses of musical theater training. Tony nominee Sahr Ngaujah and his co-star in "Fela" on Broadway, Saycon Sengbloh, met while attending Tri-Cities.

The Issues
After announcing my candidacy for the State Board of Education, the first thing I did was to begin talking to our area's educators, school board members and superintendents. Before I finished developing my "platform" I wanted to find out what our local schools want and need from the SBOE. And I wanted to talk with educators from a "parents" point of view. I'm convinced now, more than ever, that local schools haven't had enough of a voice at the SBOE.
During my phone calls to the superintendents around the district, I was shocked at the number of times I was told that they had never spoken to their SBOE representative. Some superintendents have been in education for 5, 10 even 20 years and they have never spoken to their SBOE representative! How can the SBOE know what their local schools need if they are not listening?
So, after hundreds of phone calls and conversations, the following is what I will be focusing on during my campaign:
- More input from local school boards, parents, superintendents and teachers
- Taking politics OUT of public education
Here's more about the issues critical to our schools:

Halogen bulbs cost more up front than regular incandescent bulbs. Despite this, halogen bulbs cost less overall to use. The first reason for this is that halogen bulbs operate with more energy efficiency. Halogen and incandescent bulbs have the same basic parts and produce light from the same source: a tungsten filament that glows when heated to a high temperature. As the filament burns, bits of the tungsten break off. As more tungsten burns off, the light bulb gets dimmer and dimmer until it ultimately burns out. The key difference with the halogen bulb is that this tungsten burn-off process happens much more slowly. In a halogen bulb, the tungsten filament is encased in halogen gases that help push the fallen bits of tungsten back onto the filament. The longer the tungsten lasts on the filament, the longer the light bulb will last.
The subtle differences in halogen over incandescent mean you can buy a halogen bulb with a lower wattage than that of an incandescent bulb and still get the same kind of light. Lower wattage translates to less energy use, which means a lower electricity bill. And because halogen bulbs last longer than incandescent bulbs, they need to be replaced less often. That can save consumers time and save money in labor costs for an office building, for example. The average incandescent bulb has a life expectancy of 1,000 hours, but the average halogen bulb is expected to last three times as long [source: Energy Star]. Light bulb maker GE also points out that consumers should look at the lifetime energy and cost savings a bulb accrues when looking at its retail price. With halogen lights, the company says, you can avoid wasting wattage on invisible infrared energy. More goes into useful light [source: GE].
Of course, buying halogens simply is one step toward energy savings from light bulbs. It's estimated that a compact fluorescent bulb that is Energy Star qualified can save up to $40 in electricity costs over its lifetime and an Energy Star LED bulb uses at least 75 percent less energy than a typical incandescent bulb [source: EPA].
