RK and Madhu take the news of an upcoming child very well.
Part 25 � Ma Kya Hoti Hai, Tum Kya Jano.
RK and Madhu sat up in bed.
RK: Come in.
The door opened and Radha appeared from behind it. RK got off the bed and walked away from the bed. He knew Radha was coming to talk to Madhu and he didn't want to watch.
RK stood with his back to his bed while Radha went to sit on the edge of the bed next to Madhu.
Radha held Madhu's hand.
Radha: Madhu, beta. I'm so happy; I can't even describe the feeling within me right now. I'm going to be a grandmother. That news is just�
Madhu: Ma, I'm sorry I ran off today.
Radha: No Madhu, all couples have their arguments. You came back, and that's all that matters. I just wanted to talk to you about your upcoming child.
Madhu: Sure ma.
RK listened while Radha began explaining to Madhu what it's like to be a mother.
Radha: Having a child is probably the cheeriest news a newly wed couple could receive. But you need to understand that a baby is not easy to take care of. You need to be responsible, loving, and caring. I know you already are all of those three. But the responsibility that comes along with a child is something new, different. I know, you still have 9 months to go. But explaining things as soon as I can will be best. Madhu, beta, you have to be careful with what you eat now and no more hard work.
Madhu: I promise I'll take care of myself.
Radha: I know you will. Also, when you're bringing up the child�
Madhu: Ma, that won't be for a while.
Radha: You never know what could happen to me tomorrow, so�
Madhu: Ma, please don't talk like that.
Radha: Madhu, I'm telling you everything I can right now.
Madhu: Okay�
Radha: When you're bringing up your child, make sure you give your child love, attention, and care. Raise your child, as you'd want to be raised. Make your child happy but have strict rules down too. Keep in mind, your child's happiness will be your happiness�
RK couldn't listen anymore. He turned to face his mother and wife. He walked towards his bed and began speaking to Radha.
RK: Happiness? Raising a child? Love? Care? YOU are going to teach my wife how to raise a child? You?! You couldn't even raise your own.
Radha: RK�
RK: No. Listen. Today I'm going to speak. Would you want to be raised as I was? Tell me something, are you happy with how you raised me?
Radha: N�
RK: Exactly. So don't you go telling my biwi how to raise our child.
Madhu: RK�please, she's your ma�
RK: No Madhu, no. She's not my ma. My ma was Radha Mohan Kundra. Not Radha Kuku Bhatia. She's telling you that our child's happiness will be our happiness. But she never even cared that I was miserable for years. My happiness wasn't important to her, it never was. She was selfish, only her happiness mattered and that's why she got remarried. She didn't even once consider how that would've made me feel. This lady who gave me birth was never and never will be a good mother. Madhu, you will not take any advice from her. Never.
Radha stood while crying and ran out of their room. Madhu turned to face RK.
Madhu: That was too harsh RK�
RK: It was the truth biwi.
Madhu was too happy with the news that she didn't feel like arguing with RK at the moment.
Madhu: Come here RK.
RK went and sat next to Madhu in bed. He put his arm around her shoulders and she snuggled closer to him. She laid her head on his shoulder and he tightened his grip on her. He kissed her head and then laid his head on hers.
Madhu: I can't wait RK.
RK: Me either.
They closed their eyes. RK sighed.
RK: She's going to be the most beautiful girl in the world.
Madhu: She will be.
RK: You agree it'll be a girl?
Madhu: I thought I had no choice mister.
RK laughed.
RK: True. She'll be the only other girl I'll ever love.
Madhu looked up at RK and she smiled. RK got closer and gently kissed her on her lips again. Her lips parted and she followed the movement of his lips with hers. She slowly slid down to lay down in bed and he followed her movement. RK laid on top of her and continued to kiss her. He gently pulled away.
RK: I never thought the day would come where I would be the luckiest guy alive.
Madhu smiled and she ran her hands through his hair and pulled his face closer to hers again. They kissed again. RK's lips moved down to her jaw and then they heard someone clear his throat behind them. RK quickly got off Madhu and Madhu quickly sat up. They looked to see Bittuji standing by the door with his head down.
RK: Come in Bittuji.
Madhu kept her head down while her cheeks turned red. Bittuji walked inside towards their bed and RK sat up straight.
RK: What is it Bittuji?
Bittuji: First, congratulations, I'm so happy for you chief and bhabiji!
RK: Thanks, and now continue.
Bittuji: Well�somehow, the news of your child was already leaked to the press.
RK: What?!
Madhu: No�
RK stood up and a rage filled face crossed his face. He called all his maids. Within seconds, every single one of his maids stood before him in a line. RK looked at each and every one of them.
RK: One of you leaked the news. Which one was it?
No one spoke. They all seemed guilty to RK.
RK: If the individual who did this does not speak, all of you will be fired.
The maids began looking at each other. Hoping that one of them would speak, but no one did. RK got angrier than he already was.
RK: All of you are fired! GET OUT! Except Patil. You stay. I don't believe you would do such a thing.
Patil sighed in relief and the rest of the maids hurried out of RK's room. They didn't bother arguing with RK because they already knew it was a lost battle on their end.
RK turned to look at his wife. Madhu sat in bed with her hand on her stomach and her face down. RK went and sat next to her in bed again. He looked towards Bittuji and Patil.
RK: You both can go. Bittuji, please close and lock the door behind you.
Bittuji: Yes chief.
Bittuji and Patil both left. RK put his arm around his wife again; she leaned into his chest and began crying. RK rubbed her shoulder.
RK: Shh, I promise you Madhu, our child will have the best life he or she can ever have. Whether or not the press is aware of our future child. I promise you.
Madhu looked up at RK with her tear filled eyes. RK kissed away her tears. She managed to put a small smile on her face. RK returned her smile with one of his.
Madhu: You always know what to say.
RK: I've been practicing.
They laughed and laid down in bed together. Madhu wrapped her arms around RK's chest. RK turned out the lights.
RK: Nobody's going to interrupt us now.
Fun update coming soon - RK dealing with his pregnant biwi.

Lammar Houston sacked Peyton Manning in one of the lone highlights of Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. It was Houston's sixth sack in a up and down contract year where the fan favorite came out strong, but like the majority of the Raiders defense fell apart in the second half when depth issues began to cause a chain reaction of breakdowns on defense in Oakland.
Regardless of how the second half of the season may have went, Houston is considered by many to be the Raiders best defensive lineman, but due to a variety of factors the now free agent feels that he may have just played his final game inside the Oakland Coliseum as a Raider.
"I believe that Dennis Allen and the Raiders might be looking to move on and have me go to another team or move on and find something more what they want for their system and their scheme," Houston said to CSN Bay Area's Scott Bair. "Who knows? It's a rough business and nothing's guaranteed and everything changes from day to day."
Earlier in the year Houston was approached for an extension, but while he was playing well a deal did not get done. Now that his performances have dipped the Raiders may not think that he is worth the money that he and his agent are demanding. Somebody is going to pay Houston, but the defensive end's comments postgame lead on that Reggie McKenzie may not want Houston back for the price he is asking. Even if Houston is a fan favorite who by all accounts loves the Silver and Black.
"I believe that they were talking me up and things like that, but to a certain standpoint," he said. "I believe that, me and the Raiders, I think I've had good years and I really appreciate this organization. I love this organization, but as far as what some of the coaches want, I'm not sure. That's out of my control. I play the best I can and do everything I can to contribute."
What the Raiders do with Houston is important, they need to keep his talent on the defensive line and need to improve even more in the pass rush to get where they want next season. At the same time they cannot afford to overpay Houston, who is not going to give the Raiders a hometown discount and was never going to. This appears to be a situation that is more up to how much money Houston can get on the free market, based on how Sunday's comments went it looks like the Raiders hopes of retaining Houston at a cap number they think is worth it will depend on if another team wants to pay him.

The Miami Heat now know that they'll be playing the Brooklyn Nets and the next step in the journey to a three-peat is to make sure the roster is fully healthy. While there are nagging injuries holding some players back, others are battling non basketball related ailments, like Shane Battier who has been battling the flu.
He's been useless to the Heat so far but they haven't really needed to be firing on all cylinders like they will have to against Brooklyn this week. Battier noted that he's been a bit sick as of late but also mentioned he should deb fine moving forward.
"I'm almost there. I'm not doing great, but I got tired of staying home. If nothing else it was an opportune time to get sick," Battier joked about missing the previous two days of conditioning drills.
While he may be in a joking mood, the Heat need him in a winning mode on the court. He will be able to lean on James Jones if he can't play his full amount of minutes but Battier will be a key part of a push for a three-peat and the Heat need him healthy.

a) Yes, though the user may be upset about it. There will be no impact on anything other than Minecraft.
b) There are several ways you could go about it, ranging from savage beatings to instil fear in your userbase, to using something like AppLocker to prevent Minecraft from running.

I saw you standing
September 16, 2014 § Leave a comment
I saw you standing
In the doorway shaded by moonlight
Your shoulders bare
Your face covered
The edges of your mouth no longer tucked in at the corners
that snaking smile hidden from me
And I
Alone on the bed
Covered in layers
Watched you through the sheets
As you danced
And remembered earlier
How we first felt god
As he rippled through our skins as we touched
the wine less sweet and the music more melancholic
You watched me
In the doorway with your eyes laid bare
Your body hidden from mine
As strangers once again
And I loved you for a brief moment
When we met and were intertwined
Now I can no longer stand you
And turn my head from your glance
Dress and clumsily kiss you good night
A Community of Tails
July 29, 2014 § Leave a comment
Tails. Rainbow tails out of the back of pants. Not on everyone. A selective few dotting the crowd. I was told that when it was a fad in Seattle it had to do with twinks, more specifically coons and squirrels. I haven't the slightest clue what a coon or a squirrel is, much less an otter or a bear. This culture is still very new to me. Hell, all of Indiana still feels very new to me, even though I've been living here off and on for some five years. Community living in Indiana. Modern day monasticism, with or without your deity of choice. I wandered the crowds with a Nikon D200, nothing fancy, borrowed work camera, shots of queers, fems, butch lesbians. All Beautiful People. All a small part of a counter cultural movement that desires autonomy from the mainstream yet acceptance from it. I walked alone, searching for that moment, the one captured so perfectly with the eye that tells a story screaming to be shot and not being captured it will suffocate into the emptiness of time and all these Beautiful People will be digested with it, eaten away as our bodies turn back into the dust of life and breed new life for others searching for that same same moment. A few clicks, a few settings changed, smiles everywhere, an 'aw what the hell man', even a 'we could be siblings' but friendliness everywhere. Midwestern flair of a transparent people. Protesters outside yet still civil and the air was calm and sticky with the humidity of summer storms moving through the great ole' sky that never ceases to end, that stretches out beyond the horizon to where the Midwest stops and the rest of the world begins, something that until only a few years ago I was finally able to travel through, to see and visit and hear how the rest of the little nations within this Nation live and then I danced through it with the desire of flesh, the desire of years of small dairy farm oppression (that destroys the strength of greater men than me) finally coming out of me and now I am here, dancing in unison with the crowd of PRIDE Fest in Fort Wayne, all Beautiful Souls searching searching searching for the Truth and Acceptance in whatever form that brings and the protesters outside proclaiming the Truth of their faith and you cannot be angry with them because I understand it, I lived it once, I too always coming up empty on debts that only Truth could pay for, I too once believed the Gospel of Evangelicalism, I too once took hope that my Cross was within the Norm and the Beautiful that society had placed upon me and now I see it all so clearly that Truth and Beauty are everywhere and nowhere at once and I still struggle with the desire to take up my Cross and follow it everywhere as long as it leads to comfort. Later that night was the drag show. Makeup and men hand in hand on stage showing off fantastic bottles and bodies, cheers and exhilaration seeping from the crowds, a bitter young woman drunkenly arguing why the protesters (who have escaped to their comfortable homes unscathed) are wrong and acceptance is the only Way. I breathed deeply, in awe of the experience, in awe of everyone's experience around me. Community happening. Togethering: a place where people together, meet, eat, sleep, live, breathe, celebrate, die. A Beautiful culture that I will never understand, will never be apart of and yet still try to capture in thought and deed and image. Different in perspective than my community, the poorly imitated intentionality that I so often fail at yet seek within my being. The human story being played out a million ways and a million times within my life within your life within the life of community at PRIDE, a deep internal struggling to be better, to be good, to find love and acceptance and peace and desire realized yet often dismissed, disarrayed and destroyed by that other-world of darkness that cares of no one and yet we are all guilty of participating, all imperfect yet moving steadily steadily steadily towards the light of hope found in community. In this instance, a community of tails.
Three people (or even four)
June 29, 2014 § Leave a comment
Three people walked by me this afternoon,
A lonely woman who paused to look deep in the river,
a father watching his little girl ride her tricycle, trying precariously to keep balance,
An old man confined to a wheelchair being pushed by his weary wife,
What is more than life,
Than poetry,
Than this?
What did I do in return?
I lit another cigarette and turned my head back to my phone.
A fourth!
Pausing to watch these people wander throughout the day rather than join them in this mysterious dance of life that surrounds us and seeps into our very being
The march of the ants
June 22, 2014 § Leave a comment
A constructed chaos poured forth from the concrete crack called home
Oblivious to the Sunday morning folk inside the building they've gathered around
As those voices inside are oblivious to the worship of the ants spewing forth to collect crumbs of life left by those who also spew forth from their own schedules to meet once a week
Hurriedly oblivious
Of the daily constant worship of the march of the ants.
Wes Anderson

And so we did our best to dress as Wes Anderson characters, urgently seeking to feel the whimsy of his magic in ours, urgently burning to find peace and beauty trapped somewhere, somewhere if only we could open ours eyes to see and our ears to hear, trapped somewhere deep within the despair entrenched into the very crevices of our hearts, subconsciously piled under the weight of words that the world we live in weary us with the daily thinking that we are the true masters of this world, not seeing the dichotomy we place stringently upon this world and the world we seek after, the other unworldly world of heaven on earth mixed not with sorrow of past life nor of words that force us to weep at the unexpected encounter of who we really are found at the bottom of cheap wine bottles and unsure hearts, but the unworldly other world found beneath steeples and spires on Sunday mornings as we wash away the week before, as we wash away last nights drunken revelries, as we wash away the academic bullshit of intellectual conversations peppered throughout our lives of the newest movies or music, of the time aged classics of Siddhartha and Kerouac, those conversations of theology and philosophy that we pretend make us important and we weirdly place as the highlight of life because we find meaning here, we find that we are only truly ourselves in deep conversations because the holiness of magic cannot be found in the shallow, and so we meet with impure hearts and minds after late night desperate fucks seeking the magic of another world, of another mind that is not our own, forgetting that at one time we were children and that the very feast of our souls was found glimmering from ours eyes, glimmering from the the early spring flowers and trees hidden deep within winter slumber, and somewhere we forgot to continue that astonishment and amazement, we forgot that we still have that capacity within ourselves to find that magic, that unwordly other world that we find so unwieldy, so we dress ourselves as Wes Anderson characters hopelessly wishing that the magic of our youth was more than just seeing the simple spring flowers or the winter trees deep in slumber.
the crumbs of our bodily feast
May 24, 2014 § Leave a comment
We sat under the stars over the trickling-summer-dried-river and talked of the future as if we were the gods discoursing the plans of those creatures above and as they slowly spun around our heads we held on to each other tightly, hungrily, in this infinite moment of small moments everywhere, knowing that when the dawn breaks we would be separated by more than the distance of all those stars combined, and that the crumbs of our bodily feast would never be able to satisfy us again.

Happy Wednesday! Half-way home!
It's always a little disconcerting to encounter the 'good' weather during the middle of the week, because that heightens the risk of showers on the weekend (simply going with the law of averages and general climatology of storm frequency). The weather for the rest of this week looks to hold true to this form, but the fact that the temperatures are much cool makes any one of these days just fine with me :-)
Let's check today out, because looking at it yesterday there was a risk of showers stepping in late in the day to disrupt an otherwise wonderfully sunny and seasonable time. I think the message becomes more clear when examining models of differing resolutions:
|GFS - Wednesday PM
|NMM - Wednesday PM
|NAM SimRadar - Wednesday PM
Note the closer-in resolutions as you go left-to-right in the above images. Though the GFS is hinting at some stray showers Wednesday afternoon, subsequent scans at finer grid-spacing reduce this potential and constrain it farther north. Nevertheless, there should be a line of clouds wandering through the area later Wednesday that may attempt a sprinkle, but the lion-share of the day will feature returning sunshine and much more agreeable temperatures.
The same scenario is advertized for Thursday, but we lose the higher-resolution imagery to cross reference it. A storm system is indeed on the way, but it won't get here until after the close of the day Thursday. Here's the GFS depiction:
|GFS - Thursday PM
|GFS - Friday PM
|GFS - Saturday PM
The Pikeville area may get clipped early by this approaching system, but given the trends established with the aforementioned review of today's weather most of the area should again be just fine weather-wise. Friday is certainly the rain-out kind of day. This storm system is pretty potent, as indicated by the tight packing of temperature contours (the thin black lines). There is a decent cold pool of air behind the front, but not only does it (mostly) miss us to the north it also "modifies" a little bit and becomes less intense (more on this shortly).
Here's a look at the anticipated rainfall from this event (from HPC):
|HPC - Projected Rainfall - Friday through Sunday
Another healthy watering for the plants, with an outside shot at spot flooding with any slow-moving storm. Overall, I'm sure the lawn and garden will approve :-)
When talking about the upcoming temperatures cooling down, we're still expecting that to happen. However, it's interesting to note that there will be this 'modifying' of air whereby the arriving cold air mixes with the warm ground temperatures near the surface on its way along. This mutes the intensity of the cold and cuts the impact a bit. Here are some of the numbers:
|GFS - MaxTemps - Thursday
|GFS - MaxTemps - Friday
|GFS - MaxTemps - Saturday
I'm showing a different slice of the country with these maps, but it still includes our local area. Notice the little area of 50s for high temperatures. They are certainly cooler than normal for this time of year, but they fade by Saturday as the air 'modifies'. We still get to enjoy highs in the upper 60s and low 70s, so it's not like the colder air goes away completely-- but it is noticeable. It also reflects weakening cold air aloft as well, which hopefully means a shorter duration of rainfall by early Saturday (and a better shot at dry skies during the weekend).

Not a problem for me either
My G4 Cube (vintage 2000) has never had trouble with a mini CD. It accepts and ejects them just fine. The Apple Support article (referenced by xcgr below) says "Some slot-loading drives may be able to accomodate 80 mm round discs, but their use is not supported." I can imagine the hardware for a slot-loading drive in a portable Mac is quite different.

windows 7 enterprise
I delete a desktop item but it keeps coming back - user account
Can someone help this is driving me crazy!
I received my new laptop from the administrator at work, it came with a browser and recycle bin on the desktop. I found a work around for removing the recycle bin so that is no prob. However...
When I delete the browser icon it asks for an administrator login (which I have been given) I enter this and the icon is then deleted. However the icon keeps coming back! This seems to happen when I log back on or sometimes just after a few hours. How can I stop this?

Have a check in the public desktop icons folder. The browser shortcut could be in your user account and also the public one, and you are simply deleting it from one and not the other.
C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop
(If you cannot see the Public folder, go to Organise > Folder and Search Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.)
No guarantee, but worth a shot
|My System Specs
|16 Oct 2012
If it's a work computer then the explanation may be that the IT people have set up a logon script that replaces the icon whenever it runs. I had a similar situation where someone decided that it would build social ties in the staff if people had a workplace footy tipping club (Aussie rules). The IT dept set it up so that the icon was added to everyone's desktop next time they logged on. The problem was that they never deleted this from the logon script so it was driving me nuts that no matter how many times I deleted the icon it kept coming back. If this is the case there's no cure except to ask the IT dept to remove it from the logon script. They may not be willing to do this if it's an icon that they want the majority of the staff to have/use.

And what is the reason for removing both of those icons, Shortcuts, from the Desktop???
Sorry but I don't understand your reasoning. First off without the Recycle Bin shortcut on the desktop there is no easy way to empty the Recycling bin so it would fill up over time and clog up your system and HDD space. As to the browser shortcut is this for IE or some other browser.
Talk to the IT department as they seem to be the ones that have set this up for a reason.
|My System Specs

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 7600
you can add the recycle bin to the favorites list in explorer (left hand side of the window),
if you can install programs ,(maybe not as it is a work computer) then you could install stardock fences ,which hides everything on your desktop ,unless you allow it through the fence,
then you just double click the desktop to show everything or hide it all.
trouble with fences is that i used to be methodical at moving crap off my desktop now its hidden so i've become lazy .every now and then i have a clean up.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I know it is not easy to teach and I have the utmost respect for all the dedicated teachers at Delta Elementary Charter School. I know that every minute counts and it s a privilege and an opportunity to be in the classroom as a volunteer. The teachers, support personnel and Mr. Lewis are working with our children to help develop skills that will make them better citizens, better friends, and more creative thinkers. It offers the children a unique education, above and beyond what they could get anywhere else. I believe that we must expose students to things beyond what they know beyond the sights of their environments, family, and friends and this school is working very hard to do just that. Love this school.
Great school, our gandchildren love it and all the fantastic teachers. and volunteers. Awesome teachers, support and Principal
This school looks good from the surface. Principal and staff are nice and friendly. When you first visit them, they appear to be a close knit group. They offer art, music (once a week), as well as other activities not offered at some public schools. One of the problems I see is that they have big class sizes. Just because public school have large class sizes( this has become the norm) does not mean that it is good for students. Some of the teachers seem overwhelmed and ignore students (even when being asked to use the restroom). They don't have aides, despite saying that they have help. Things just seem so disorganized throughout the school. This school is slightly better than most public schools but don't expect much more than that. They are new so maybe with time they will get it right.
The teachers, the Staff and the Principle are so active, friendly, invovled and cariing. I will admit there is some things that can be changed but if you talk to the principle about your concerns, he listens and will take that into consideration. This is a Principle who care about his school, as he puts it "Our School". Open enrollment is coming up, please come by and take a look for yourself, take a tour, or sit in a class and see for yourself. Best decision I made!!!!
My first grade son just started this year, and I absolutely appreciate so many aspects of this great school. All the teachers and staff are active, engaged and friendly, and the kids seem very happy. I would highly recommend this school to any of my friends or family.
I cant say enough about the staff and the community. All you need to do is spend 5 minutes sitting on a bench at the school to fall in love.
I cannot say enough great thing about this school, excellent & caring teachers, strong leadership, parents and kids who wants to be there. The charter school is just a few years old, so you have to take that into consideration when you are looking at the school scores. The school didn't set the foundation for all the students at this time...Over all we are thrill about being at this school...
Love the school there are just not enough good things to say about how caring the teachers are as well the Admin staff. Thank God there are still schools like this around!
We are so happy we moved our children from a West Sacramento school to this school for the 2008-2009 school year. It is such a close knit school with a wonderful staff that makes a point to get to know the children. Our daughter who was struggling with reading at her last school has improved greatly with the help of her wonderful teacher! Not to mention our girls now LOVE going to school and look forward to it every morning.
This is a wonderful school. I really feel like it is extended family here. All the staff and parents are so wonderful and friendly and you get a real sense of community here. The education is great and my daughter who is in Kindergarten is really excelling and starting to read some words! I recommended it to my sister & best friend and now their children go here also! Its a great school!
Wonderful school with great committment by all to teach and nourish children. Children feel the love in this school and it shows with the little to no conflict that exsists between the students.
I moved both my children to Delta for the 2008-2009 school year. It was the best move my husband and I could have made. They're so much happier at Delta than their last school. The class size is much smaller so they get more individual attention. Academics are more thorough plus they have physical education on a daily basis. The staff and atmosphere is wonderful. It's like a tight knit family and everyone's included. I will keep my kids at Delta for the remainder of Grammar plus Junior High and High School.
We recently moved to the rural community of Clarksburg, and are very happy with our decision to relocate to such a beautiful and friendly community. However, the move was a little challenging for my 10 year old daughter. She was very worried about how she would fit in and make new friends at her new school, as most children would feel. I was relieved that she quickly adapted and made friends right away. The school s curriculum is great too! Delta offers P.E. on a regular basis, they encourage student and parent involvement, and my daughter has been exposed to more math and science. I am very happy with the school s program overall!
This school is amazing. Every staff member is so friendly and helpful. The children are all very happy and my child is excelling beyond all my expectations. I can not wait to see what happens in the coming years.
My Kids Love Their School! Delta Elementary Charter has been the perfect fit for my 10 and 8 year old children. The small school (only 130 students) means that my children know all their schoolmates, teachers, etc. and feel safe and secure - which are critical to learning. The school believes in a balanced curriculum, so my kids take band, art, drama, Spanish, extracurricular sports as well as rigorous core instruction. The small town rural surroundings are a treat for us suburbanites (commuting from W. Sac only 12 miles away). For working families, there is a bus and after school program.

The Joy of EasterFR. LEONARD M. PUECH
Some of the men went to verify. Well, the tomb was empty all right, but they didn't see him. It's all over! And then the explosion of joy, when they recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
We can easily imagine that sorrow of the apostles when they saw their master, whom they admired and loved, sincerely, put to a cruel death as a vulgar criminal.
All their cherished dreams of a restoration of the kingdom of Israel, of which they would be heroes, were dashed to pieces. They were afraid for their own lives and stayed inside, behind locked doors, for fear of the Jews (Jo. 20,19).
Saint Luke has left us a description of the feelings of two of the disciples (Lk. 24,13-24). All their hopes shattered, they were going back home to Emmaus, sadly discussing the death of Jesus.
To the stranger who has joined them, they explain: "Jesus of Nazareth was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people. Our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be sentenced to death and crucified him. We were hoping that it was he who should redeem Israel."
They were hoping; they hope no more; it's already the third day since he died. Oh! yes, some women went to the tomb, before daylight, and found it empty. They said they had seen angels who said he was alive — but you know women!
Some of the men went to verify. Well, the tomb was empty all right, but they didn't see him. It's all over!
And then the explosion of joy, when they recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
They must return right away and tell the others in Jerusalem. Do you see them running in their haste to bring the good news? And they find the disciples excited: "the Lord has risen indeed and has appeared to Simon" (Lk. 24,34).
To add to the excitement and the joy, behold, while they are talking about these apparitions, Jesus stands among them.
At first they are panic-stricken; they think it's a ghost. All kinds of ideas come to their mind. Jesus reassures them, shows them the wounds of his hands and feet (Lk. 24,39), of his side (Jo. 20,20); invites them to see and to touch: "A spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have" (Lk. 24,39).
It is too good to be true; their surprise and their joy are so great, that their mind cannot grasp the fact. To convince them that everything is very real, Jesus asks them: "Have you something here to eat?" and he eats in their presence and gives them what remains.
After receiving his instructions and the power to forgive sins, the disciples remained alone. I doubt they were able to sleep that night!
I imagine Peter and John telling how they ran to the tomb, when Mary Magdalene told them it was empty. They had found it empty in fact, with the shroud lying on the shelf undisturbed, and the handkerchief rolled, as it had been tied around the head of Jesus.
Did they pick them up, or did Joseph of Arimathea, the owner of the tomb?
Then Peter would tell again how he had seen the Lord. They surely had heard about the apparition of Jesus to Mary Magdalen and how she had at first mistaken him for the gardener, and also about the message he had entrusted to her (Jo. 20,11-18). And the two disciples from Emmaus would repeat all that Jesus had explained to them and how he had interpreted the Scriptures, showing how they referred to him (Lk. 24,27).
James also, the "brother" of the Lord, to whom Jesus had appeared (I Cor. 15,8) — according to one of the apocryphal gospels on the very day of the resurrection — would be there telling how he could never believe in Jesus (Jo. 7,5) and even thought he was mad (Mk. 3,21) and how by his death he had brought such shame on all the family. Now all his incredulity had been swept away and replace by a wonderful joy.
When you have seen the joy of a convert who has just found the faith — especially if it was after a long night of doubts — you can imagine something of the apostles' joy on that first Easter day.
They were just coming out of the total darkness, which had filled their souls for two long days and nights, into such a wonderful light.
True, Jesus had upbraided them for their lack of faith, for not believing those who had seen him after he was risen (Mk.16,14), but this was blotted out by the joy of seeing him again and hearing his voice.
Their faith was still very impure: they will still be asking about the restoration of Israel (Acts 1, 6); but they are not thinking about it today. Their joy is pure joy; they cannot think about anything else but that "the Lord is risen indeed."
This joy nobody would be able to take away from them; it would remain with them forever, for nothing now would be able to shake their faith in the resurrection of Jesus. They would be able to say with Saint John: "What we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon and our hands have handled... we announce to you" (I Jo.1,1-3).
At Easter we share in the joy of the apostles: the resurrection of Jesus is the pledge of our own.

The Obama administration has approved two more solar loans totaling around $1 billion.
What could possibly go wrong with this?
This is not free market capitalism. This is corporatism.
The Energy Department on Wednesday approved two loan guarantees worth more than $1 billion for solar energy projects in Nevada and Arizona, two days before the expiration date of a program that has become a rallying cry for Republican critics of the Obama administration's green energy program.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the department has completed a $737 million loan guarantee to Tonopah Solar Energy for a 110 megawatt solar tower on federal land near Tonopah, Nev., and a $337 million guarantee for Mesquite Solar 1 to develop a 150 megawatt solar plant near Phoenix.
The loans were approved under the same program that paid for a $528 million loan to Solyndra Inc., a California solar panel maker that went bankrupt after receiving the money and laid off 1,100 workers. Solyndra is under investigation by the FBI and is the focal point of House hearings on the program.

Product Announcement from SKF USA
Fast and accurate Kelvin meter
- Dependable, solid-state circuitry
- Min and max pass/fail limits
- Standard RS-232C and I/O controls
The RT45 is a Kelvin Ohm meter capable of accurately measuring low resistances with 4.5 digit resolution. It is intended for production, repair or compliance testing of motors, coils, transformers, cables, thermal devices, resistors and other electrical devices. Because of its low resistance accuracy, it can be used in a large motor repair shop. In the 200 milli-Ohm range, the RT45 has 10 micro-Ohm resolution. Because of its high speed, it is suitable for high volume coil production line testing. It can measure resistances up to 200 kilo-Ohms.
The RT45 has both auto-range and fixed range modes for its seven resistance ranges. It can measure continuously or only when triggered. It has user programmable high and low pass/fail limits. The limits can be entered as absolute values or as percentages of the nominal. The pass, high or low signal is visually indicated on the front panel and via the I/O Handler.
The I/O Handler allows the RT45 to be controlled remotely via discrete I/O lines.
The standard RS-232C port allows the RT45 to be programmed and controlled. The measured resistance can be transferred after each test.

Fortune Cookies Lie
(via shit-thatblows-deactivated20140)
Hi there! Time for you to meet.. me.
As some of my friends know, I like to rant. It helps me unwind and get the load of crap off my shoulders. Well sometimes they aren't there for me to rant and I figured I could just vomit my mind on here.
ehhh, I like to draw, read, write, sing in the shower, listen to music, play the piano, watch the food network, animals, AND CEREAL!! etc. etc.
Hmm, I hate brussel sprouts, annoying people, jerks, rude people, insects, diseases, pollution, global warming all that bad stuff.
I love traveling, so if I'm away from home I'll give you a summary of my adventures.
Music is my life so I'll recommend a few songs here and there. If I can find the sheet music to that song I'll post it.
So my tumblr is called fortune cookies lie because it's fact. They give you all this happy shit telling you good fortune is coming. But I'm here, with all my problems just to bring all that fantasy a little closer to reality.
Let the ranting commence....

G-Shock Introduces Bluetooth Smart Watch
Casio America, Inc. introduced their latest technological achievement, the G-Shock Bluetooth Low Energy Smart Watch. Casio has been redefining the wristwatch for years by applying the latest technologies. Now, Casio's application of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) positions the company to create new possibilities for the way people use their watches. The GB6900AA collection provides Bluetooth time sync, alerts for incoming calls and emails, in addition to a Find Me function in which alarm and vibration functions on an iPhone can be activated using the buttons of the watch. To silence the vibration of the alarms, Casio has added a tap function in which the user double taps the face and the alert is automatically dismissed. In addition, the Bluetooth G-Shock will provide a notification when the phone is out of range of the watch, making sure the phone is never misplaced and the watch will automatically adjust itself to the correct time zone by using the time data received through the iPhone.
Taking advantage of the low power consumption of BLE, the new watch powers wireless communication functions with a single, ordinary button-cell battery, and without consuming any more battery life than a conventional wristwatch. Users can wear it every day just like they normally do, without the hassle of recharging or replacing a battery. Battery life is estimated at approximately two years, assuming that the Bluetooth wireless communication function is used for 12 hours per day.
As the wireless link between smart phones and watches gains in adoption, and as the universe of smart phone applications continues to grow, G-Shock expects to see new possibilities for watches in everyday life.
The GB6900AA collection is available in four sleek colorways: black GB6900AA-1, gray blue GB6900AA-2, brown GB6900AA-5 and white GB6900AA-7. All models include shock and 200M water resistance, world time (35 time zones / 100 cities + UTC), LED super illuminator, five daily alarms (beep or vibrate), 1/100th second stopwatch (24H), countdown timer (24H, beep or vibrate), 12/24hr formats, mute function and a 2-year battery (12H of use per day).

The SR Max 125 is a nice little city scooter, with bags of weather protection and comfort for longer journeys. Struggles at speeds above 40mph, but at town speeds it's perfectly adequate. Handling is spot on. If you want an all year round scoot with good wether protection the SR Max 125 is a great choice.

The Aprilia RST1000 Futura is desperately underestimated, sadly short lived and now a potential bargain. Aprilia's ambitious rival for Honda's polished VFR sports-tourer is able, well-specced and potent. Quirky styling put off many, however, it sold poorly and depreciated massively. If you like the looks the Aprilia RST1000 Futura is a used bargain.

A word from David Burke Prime at Foxwoods
Celebrated Chef David Burke will bring his culinary expertise to Foxwoods Resort Casino, with the opening of David Burke Prime on July 9, 2008. All cuts of meat served at the restaurant will be imported directly from Creekstone Farms in Kentucky and dry-aged for 28 to 75 days in the restaurant's in-house dry-aging room. In addition, David Burke Prime will offer thousands of bottles of premium wine from around the world. Located on the hotel level of Grand Pequot Tower in Foxwoods Resort Casino, the 13,000-square-foot steakhouse will seat 280 people and feature a 35-foot tall wine tower escalating up three stories to the casino level. In addition, the restaurant will include a 28-seat bar and 1,700-square-foot private banquet area, accommodating up to 100 people. Similar to David Burke's Primehouse in Chicago, which was just voted Best Steakhouse in Chicago, David Burke Prime will feature an aging room with walls lined in imported pink Himalayan rock salt, crafted here in the U.S.Continued

- Always Fantastic!!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/21/2014We love going every month! Never disappointed with the service or the specials.Special Features:
- not impressedmandaleepottleDined on 10/18/2014Went to celebrate my anniversary. Requested a booth and was seated in the middle at a regular table. Felt like we were in the way of people walking and and servers running around. So loud, I could barely hear my waiter or my boyfriend who was sitting right next to me. Had 3 different servers, was very chaotic. Boyfriend asked for a glass of wine,waited 10 minutes, another server came over and we asked again.Waited another 10 minutes. Both people returned with a glass of wine. No communication between staff.Did not feel welcomed or like staff was personable at all.Food was good, but waited a long time for that as well. the weekend is busy, but when you are leaving with a $200.00 bill I expect a little more. Will not return. Prefer bobby flaySpecial Features:
- Not as expectedTandKDined on 10/18/2014Service was excellent, no wait whatsoever...we were seated 10 mins before our reservation time. The 55 day dry aged ribeye was average at best and nowhere near as tender as expected. At least 1/2 the weight was fat and bone. It was fun to try this restaurant once, but for the price, I won't be back.
- have had much betterjaylVIPDined on 10/17/2014i guess it just did not live up to the hype, i asked our server to ask the chef of all the rib-eyes they had that night (six choices by how long they are dry aged)which one was marbled the most, because we all know even if it is prime they are not all the same. he said the 50 day dry aged ribeye was the one to get tonight, so i did, well folks it was not that marbled, and the black and blue prep was over, it was more like black and medium, and my wife had the short rib dish and it just did not make any since!! just a hunk of dry short rib sitting on top of some very nice pasta, but the pasta was under sauced kinda dry and no sauce of gravy for the short rib? the dish was just not well thought out, the sides fantastic, the Bacon FANTASTIC.
- Definitely the best in hotelLyndammrDined on 10/17/2014This is the best restaurant in Foxwoods. We dined here two evenings and were a total of 6 adults both times. We have tried different entrees as well as many appetizers and everything was very good to excellent. We enjoyed our first dining experience here so much that we went back for a second evening here. The lobster and steaks were very good and the seafood tower was amazing....the bacon was excellent and the cotton candy with the cheesecake lollipops were excellent. Service was on the slow side but we didn't mind as we hate to be rushed for dinner and getting cocktails was extremely slow.....this is the only area I see that needs improvement.
- Most Excellent!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/14/2014I thought that this location was much better than the Chicago location - really!Special Features:
- Not so greatGingy1067Dined on 10/11/2014Service was very good. But the filet and the Kentucky ribeye we ordered were just ok. Nothing to brag about. I don't think it was worth the price we paid.Special Features:
- JUST OKBURKESDined on 10/10/2014WE WENT TO THIS RESTAURANT TO CELEBRATE OUR ANNIVERSARY. WE ASKED FOR A QUIET TABLE AND WE BEGAN TO ORDER. THIS IS NOT THE TYPICAL STEAK HOUSE, THE PORTIONS ARE NOT LIKE OTHER RESTAURANTS, THEY ARE SMALL AND EXPENSIVE. TEN DOLLARS FOR FRENCH FRIES, THIRTEEN FOR 4 SMALL CRAB CROUTONS, FIFTEEN FOR A SMALL CAESAR SALAD. WE SPENT THREE HUNDRED WITH TIP FOR 2. THE STEAK WAS THE BEST. i WILL NOT GO BACK BECAUSE THERE ARE BETTER PLACES. THIS RESTAURANT IS VERY OVER RATED AND THE SERVICE IS JUST OK. WE GOT VERY TIRED OF BEING ASKED WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ENJOY OR EXPERIENCE.Special Features:
- TiminghighdinnerDined on 10/10/2014We were happy with the service and food, but I must say I was very disappointed when our soup and appetizers all came to our table at the same time. By the time we finished our soup the appetizers were cold. I fill out a comment card that was given to us when we finished with my email address. I assumed that I would at least receive a comment from the restaurant but did not. I always feel if you are going to give a customer a comment card, be good enough to follow up on them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- love this placeanniefDined on 10/9/2014this place is so cool not at all stuffy. great wine list great service. best steak everSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- clwOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/8/2014Service was excellent and the food was very good. We would highly rSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DonWDined on 10/7/2014The aged beef sirloin and prime rib were excellent, as were the accompanying fries and vegetables. The service was excellent through cocktails and salads, but slipped after that: (a) too long an interval, seemed like 30 minutes, between salads and entrees, (b) waitress was very nice and helpful at first but became occupied mid-meal with other tables. The quality of the wine list is quite good, but frankly over priced - i.e. only a handful of wines under $100 a bottle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not impressedmmmeltDined on 10/6/2014Not my first time here. Only went because Craftsteak was no longer an option and against my better judgement, I gave them another try. Celebrating my 40th birthday. I made the reservation and stated that. They kept saying happy birthday to my date and when they brought out the dessert, they placed in front of him. They turned a special night into a disappointment.Special Features:
- Anniversary TreatSuesViewDined on 10/5/2014We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with a special dinner last Sunday night. We were seated at a great table and served by two outstanding servers. Although my husband did have to send back an overcooked steak (it happens) it was quickly replaced by a great one and the rest of the meal was fantastic. The special touches of an additional side dish and a beautiful dessert were so unexpected but so appreciated. The wine list was fantastic and the young man serving popovers completed a perfect dinner service. Thanks for a memorable celebration - we will return.Special Features:
- Above average steakOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/5/2014Great service,very good steak,take a pass on carrot cake( tasted store bought ).$$$$I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bring back the Crackling Pork ShankOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/4/2014we arrived at David Burke prime with a great anticipation for the most unusual surf and turf combination we have ever seen or tasted. The angry lobster and the Crackling Pork Shank. We were met by bitter disappointment when we learned the had removed the Crackling Pork Shank from the menu calling it a seasonal item. I was forced to try the Pork Chop and was less than thrilled and although the Angry Lobster is as goods as it gets the Crackling Pork Shank completes the meal so without it we left utterly empty. Please bring back this unique item and we'll come back every week for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food temp was lukewarmTrutherDined on 10/3/2014Good taste but served lukewarm. Fried green beans were oustanding.Special Features:
- The best of the best!idreamburkesDined on 10/1/2014We dine at David Burkes because the restaurant meets every expectation. The food and service is beyond compare to anywhere else in our area. When we want to treat people who are close to us with a special treat; it's David Burkes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointesOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/30/2014The dry aged beef was not good quality. Also, my steak was dropped by waitperson on floor. My husband's dry aged steak was left in warmer until another steak could be cooked for me causing his steak to be overdone. Manager never even came over and apologized.
- Our favorite place for great food!WallyVIPDined on 9/29/2014Always a terrific meal for any occasion. Menu is outstanding and service is always the best. If you are in the neighborhood, you must try this place or miss out on some terrific food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Recommended with notesPintsizedDined on 9/28/2014Our visit was overall good. I made my reservation online and asked for a price of cake brought out after dinner for my boyfriends birthday which they did. The food was phenomenal however the prices are high and many menu items do not include any vegetables or starches (I ordered the filet minion and was surprised that it literally came on a bare plate). The service was great however our dinner for 4 took 2 hours and the restaurant was a bit noisy for a Sunday evening. Our chairs had awkwardly high backs as well however not all chairs had the high backs. I would definitely recommend this restaurant with those precautions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food and servicetet123Dined on 9/28/2014The food was great as always and thr pre fix menu was a great value for all the food you get. Made our anniversary one to rememberSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good weekday prix fix menuuegdswVIPDined on 9/25/2014Lovely popovers that I look forward to having with filets or seafood. The Caesar salad is for real, with real olive oil, cheese, anchovies. It is terrific. Lobster night is a great treat. And then, oh my gosh, there is the bacon which is delicious beyond belief. The bacon hangs on a mini clothesline and it's a wow. Wine and martinis are overpriced -- disappointingly overpriced.Special Features:
- Unexpectedly LoudPurpleDaisyDined on 9/22/2014Music was really good but an odd choice for an upscale steakhouse with a varied age group as clientele. We asked the waitress, who lacked personality, who selected the music and she said David Burke himself. He likes rock music.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great treat!5palsVIPDined on 9/22/2014We went to this restaurant for their Lobster Night (Monday's) and the food was delicious! We were celebrating my birthday! I ordered the lobster tacos, roasted whole lobster (which was on the very small size - very little meat) and the crème brulee. My husband ordered the lobster bisque, lobster carbonara and the apple tart. Everything tasted terrific, only negative was that my husbands pasta dish had more lobster than my whole lobster; which was disappointing.Special Features:
- Not as expected5052Dined on 9/20/2014Four of us dined, three had sirloins. One of the sirloins was overcooked. It was sent back, a new one cooked , however it came back raw in the center. Had asked for it to be medium. The second steak was sent back a second time. When it finally arrived, the other 3 people were finished with their meals and the sides were cold. Not what is expected at a David Burk Prime! Very disappointing experience.Special Features:
- Wonderful Dining ExperienceCzeityDined on 9/20/2014I have been wanting to try this restaurant for some time now and finally had the opportunity! This place did not disappoint AT ALL! The service was quite remarkable, everyone helps each other to please the guests constantly! The table side Caesar salad was AWESOME and the entree was remarkably delicious! I had the chef special which was a surf n turf entree, the steak was done to a perfect Med-Rare! I highly recommend the restaurant for that special evening out, it was a great dining experience...be prepared that the menu is organized a la carte style so your meal adds up quickly! We were prepared to splurge but if you go in not knowing this it could be quite a surprise. Look at the menu online before going!Special Features:
- BMBPVIPDined on 9/19/2014Service definitely lacking. Popovers and cotton candy at the end are the highlights
- excellentRetiredCEODined on 9/16/2014Went there for a birthday celebration. Service was very good- attentive but not intrusive. And we did not feel rushed. Oysters, Caesar salad, dessert and cocktails were fresh and well prepared. Aged porterhouse was the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very good foodFlyers180usDined on 9/14/2014Ive been twice and both times excellent. I recommend the wedge salad for starters with the bacon strips on top. That is a meal in itself ( extra thick cut bacon amazing ) . Also the seafood tower is fabulous and should be shared by four.Special Features:
- DisappointedDrmarymacVIPDined on 9/12/2014Love steakhouses- frequent often, this was first time to a David Burke- expected more. Service lacking from the start- should have been an indication- waited 15 minutes for anyone to approach table. This is not typical of steakhouse and not acceptable at any restaurant. We ordered drinks which took another 10 min. When drinks arrived, ordered apps and entree. We usually wait on entree but the way things were going we thought it best to order all at once. We were there for 2 hrs and we didn't have dessert. The wedge salad was very good. Filet mignon undercooked and after sent back completely dried out- not edible. 55 day aged steak not worth the expense the steak was not even a steakhouse steak. Overall -not a good experience
- Excellent food!AnniversarydinnerDined on 9/9/2014We were seated right away with a table waiting for us. Two servers who seemed like they new exactly what we wanted and when. Anything not needed on the table was removed without hesitation, and the food is just incredible! Must try it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great!Knpgrove08Dined on 9/7/2014My husband and I went here for our special honeymoon dinner! We had a fabulous time! Great food and drinks and excellent service! Love the cotton candy at the end! We plan to go back for our 1 year anniversary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Husband's BirthdayspecialdayDined on 9/6/2014Very accommodating. Had reservation but still waited a little while. Overall server made sure we made it to our show on time. Dinner was perfect and would go back in a heartbeatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great nightCJABurrDined on 9/6/2014Reservations for 6:45, didn't get seated until 7:15. Highlight...my ice cold Martini. Table-side Caesar...wonderful. Dinner, my husband had the chicken. It was dry..but it is a steak house :) I had the petite filet WOW, melt in your mouth. Fabulous. We shared 3 sides at $25, rather steep, but who can just eat a piece of meat for dinner. All very good. Also had a glass of Caymus Cab ($37)..but well worth it, paired really well with my filet. We were going to see a show but since we were seated late, we didn't have time for dessert. Very disappointed. But when they bring you your check they serve up a helping of cotton candy. Very unique....enjoyed it. A very memorable dinner for a special occasion.Special Features:
- cwayDined on 9/4/2014Always Excellent! Great Service and Excellent Food! I always enjoy dining here and look forward to dining there again in the near future. You can always count on having an excellent meal never disappointed.Special Features:
- Best Steakhouse in CTCurtybyrdDined on 9/4/2014This experience was absolutely perfect. We had Brian/Aaron they were spot on with everything. Brians knowledge is incredible and it shows. The food was to die for from the crabcake and house special "iceberger", to the amazing breakfast for dinner surf and turf, all the way to our amazing desserts. Julian was spot on as well. I just handed him the list and told him a price. He couldnt have picked a more perfect wine. I had diners with me who dont even drink wine and it was to their liking as well. Overall amazing experience.Special Features:
- Felt rushedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/2/2014Felt rushed and they wanted us out..didn't get the anniversary dinner we wsntedSpecial Features:
- Went for Lobster nightnancyDined on 9/1/2014We both order the Kung Pao lobster from the lobster night $39 menu, the sauce was delicious, my only negative comment is that the body of the lobster was kind of a waste to be on the plate and took away from the other pieces of lobster. Popovers, chocolate dessert and crab cake appetizer was outstanding! I would highly recommend this placeSpecial Features:
- Perfect way to celebrate!PurgleDined on 9/1/2014We came to Foxwoods specifically for David Burke Prime restaurant. My birthday happened to be on a Monday, so I was happy to take advantage of the 3-course lobster dinner with lobster dumplings, kung pao lobster and the cheesecake lollipop tree! My husband got a T-bone steak which was a special, and we shared several sides. Including drinks, the bill was a little over $200, so it's not cheap. However, every time I've been here the food has been amazingly delicious, the service terrific, and it's perfect once in a while for a special occasion splurge! Each experience has been memorable and well worth it. :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I spent the whole of last night playing poker, followed by some Halo 2 action. Going for breakfast then heading down to Sembawang CC for rehearsal. *Yawnnnnn*
I nearly died today. Not because of any freak accident but because of spiciness; spiciness that scorches your tongue, burns your throat, and singe your eyes. Yes, it was that bad. What am I talking about?
It's none other than the famous hot buffalo wings at Sunset Grill & Pub(which btw if you or your friends don't drive, don't bother trying to go there). It's located not-so-near Seletar Airbase, and is super ulu. The small handmade signs are placed stratigically along the way but can be rather easy to miss. Therefore, it is recommended you go before 7pm. Went there with NP band peeps, which outings never fail to make me fat, hahaha.
Anyway, back to the food. This place are rather well known for their buffalo wings, which have a level from 1-10, with increasingly spiciness. Great place for chili daredevils, or if you just want to sabo your friends. They also have this secret level 30, not that 10 is not bad enough, mind you. They used to have a super secret level 35, but I guess something must have happened to those who tried it (;
We started with half a dozen level 5. Hmm, ok… its like eating a mega mcspicy. Then we went on with another half a dozen level 10s. Erm, wow. Our throat and lips burned. Then the secret level 30, probably 3 times as bad as 10. This took a longer time to arrive, about 10 minutes. We suspected that they were taking their time brewing their evil and malicious sauce, hahaha. At last, they came. They were smoking hot and a pungent fume permeated the air, reminding me of burnt chocolate. The first bite was already a killer, seriously. Tongue was burning and the throat pain was unbearable. I think I drank like 2 cups of water for that first bite. We managed to finish the plate, though not escaping unscathed. My eyes felt like they got pepper spray-ed. On the bright side, our names got inducted into the hall of fame alongside the others who conquered this legendary level 30. We even got individual certificates with our names, lol.
Ok, we tried it once for the novelty, but I doubt we'll be returning there again. It was an eye opening(literally) experience.
Stubbed my little toe on a baritone sax case during band. On another note, Three Revelations from the Lotus Sutra is a great piece. Alfred Reed's Fifth Symphony 'Sakura'… not so much. I'm so looking forward to Switzerland, but I heard we might be going to Sydney instead. Well, at least we still compete abroad.
Music for life! ^^Y
In the midst of sleep, a sharp pain arised from nowhere. Oh, it's just my stomach. It must be the stupid chocolate tissue prata from last night. So I got up and went to the toilet. Came out and stared at the clock… it's 8.37am :o Went on to check my results(which they say will be released at 9am but always release at 6am). Woohoo, I managed to get a GPA of 3.1 this sem, but the culmulative was a disappointing 2.9. Don't know why but this number annoys me, a lot.
I worked for the first time in my life, woah. Ok, my legs are killing me from standing for like 9 hours. On a brighter note, the commission is quite high. I think I earned like $50 worth of commissions today ^^y Going to bed soon to prepare for day 3. I'm dyingggggggg
I'm back on tumblr! As I predicted, tumblr has become the new blogger of sorts. Guess I shall follow suit.
I'm currently reading this book, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, by Japanese Novelist Haruki Murakami. This writer is really good; I did a quick Google search and he apparently garners critical acclaim. My love for books has returned, by the fault of nothing but the holidays. I'm not exactly complaining, but I could really use a job right now.
Got a hair cut today at Plaza Singapura's Chapter 2 today. Not a very nice experience, I must say. I prefer the other branch at Marina Square, but it's kinda far. Went on to do some shopping in town, resulting in a very happy but very poor me, a Ransom X Adidas Pier and a Gregory Tailmate.
