Owners Need To Share Revenue
from Barry Rozner of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
I asked an NHL executive last week how many owners we're talking about here, and he said he thought the number was between six and eight. Let's call it eight, for the sake of argument.
There are eight men shutting down a $3.3 billion business that has never been in better shape, never been more popular and never meant so much to so many.
This is why Gary Bettman has closed the doors again.
Eight very rich men who had enough money — sometimes hundreds of millions — to purchase a franchise knowing the finances ahead of time. Eight very rich men who had the cash to hand out expensive, long-term contracts, but now don't like the rules agreed to when they purchased their teams and paid their players.
Eight men in hockey hotbeds like Dallas, Anaheim, Sunrise and Glendale, the last of which is actually owned by Bettman himself. These people don't like the rules and are willing to lose a season to get their way.
They want more revenue from the players, but that would only temporarily solve the problem and we'll be right back here again in the same quandary a few years from now.
The real solution is revenue sharing among the owners, which is how the New York Yankees finally pacified the Kansas City Royals.

Ben took a bit of convincing to take out of school.
I use to ask him every couple of weeks how he felt about homeschooling and whether he preferred it over going to school. For the first six months (de-schooling) he use to shrug his shoulders and say 'I don't know'.
It was a turning point for all of us after the 6 month mark when he said he preferred homeschooling.
And today he said to me (as we were passing a bunch of school kids), "I don't understand why kids go to school."
He's one happy boy at the moment and clearly appreciates homeschooling, not just from the comment above, but his general behaviour/attitude is pretty awesome.
Good times!
Not all times are good/easy. It's worth writing down about the good and the bad!
I'm trying to get into the habit of logging some of the things we do. Often this is through photos as I tend to be snapping pictures during the things we do.
We went to a Minecraft Home Ed Weekend away up in Cumbria over the weekend. We had much fun. There were sessions for the parents and the kids. It was really nice being around likeminded people. I particularly noted the relaxed and flexible approach with the kids – especially when the were immersed in Minecraft whilst talks/instructions were happening. Often they were asked to nod their heads to ask if they understood something, and the kids did.
I plan to write more about the Minecraft things we are up to in another post, for now here are some snapshots of our weekend away.
We broke down on the M4, almost half way through our journey. Our car died. Got towed home. We luckily managed to get a hire car.
The kids immersed in Minecraft stuff…
There were some non-screen based activities too. A hamabead sword. Plus several talks for kids and parents.
We got outside too. The event was in Morland (Cumbria), a lovely part of the country.
Parents are really bad at practicing what we preach. Myself included.
We have all these great ideas that we believe would bring such enjoyment, learning and fulfilment to our children's lives, yet all too often we like to sit back whilst they get on with the *stuff*.
I've been thinking a lot about this and through unschooling have been trying to make changes to our lifestyle to maximise happiness and practise what I preach.
I've come to realise that I actually feel pretty good about my boys spending alot of time on the screen/games. They become so immersed in it, have so much fun and they do learn lots from what they are doing. How can I possibly take that away from them? After all, I play games sometimes. But I do more work on screens than games and to me this is just the equivalent of games.
They play alot of Minecraft, though we got an Xbox One recently so they've been spending some time on that too. We have a few iPads in the house too, the use of those are a bit more sporadic and perhaps more relevant for long car journeys. We guide them alot on the things they are doing are try to support and guide them in a direction that they want to be heading in. I need to share more about the stuff that they are up to on Minecraft. It's certainly going in interesting directions. More on that in another blog post.
This is perhaps one of our hardest and most time consuming challenges. As a family we are committed and believe it is right that we are a physically active. I get lots of comments saying things like 'gosh, 3 boys. That must be hard work!'.
And yes it is. But I am grateful for it. Especially more recently where I am really trying to practice what I preach with regards to physical activity. I'm currently on a road to becoming (super) fit. I feel I've neglected my personal fitness for the past 10-15 years (I'm 35) and it's vital that I get back into shape.
Part of this is me doing my own exercise regiment (I've started running recently), but another part of it is ensuring that (especially in this good weather) that we get out every single day and do something together. My boys aren't really up for classes so it's really down to my husband and I to ensure that we all get our fair share of physical exercise. To be honest, it ends up being better and cheaper for us that we all do they exercise/activities. Sometimes it's trips to the park, they scoot and play about, I do my playground exercise. Sometimes it's a long walk. Or a bike ride. Or a trip to the beach. Or to the skate park where I participate on my rollerblades and they scoot or rollerblade. Sometimes we split up the activities – I'll go to the park whilst my husband and the boys go for a cycle.
For Aaron and Ben we need to get better at just kicking them out to go to the park by themselves. We haven't pushed that too much mostly because we've been enjoying doing the exercise with them.
I've increasingly been letting go and do not force my boys to do anything they are not up for. Our main rule these days is that as long as we get our physical exercise for the day and we live in the same timezone then I'm quite happy letting them choose how else they want to spend their time.
We talk a lot about their ideas, thoughts and plans (there is a lot of learning happening when we talk!). And out of habit they always come to us and ask if it is ok to do x or y. I have no issue letting them know if I feel there is a lack of balance in what they are doing and rather than enforcing that they stop doing something we tend to compromise.
I'm constantly trying to come up with ideas of things to do and will seed those about in rosie ways. Some things stick, others don't. We keep experimenting and discovering what it is that works for us as individuals and as a family as a whole.
We all have things we want to do, the trick is to try to make them all happen. As the kids are learning, sometimes that means they need to do things that they would prefer not to do (like cleaning up, helping out, playing with their little brother).
I have better things to do than monitor every little thing they do (plus I would hate it if someone monitored everything I did to ensure I was learning!), but I am very confident they get a good balance of learning and life opportunities.
Love unschooling…!
The teachers of today have changed.
Teachers are everywhere in every form. Teachers are not just those people found in schools, colleges and universities. I encourage you to look around and find the teachers that exist within our world.
I am a teacher. I teach my boys about life. How to live according to how we believe is a good way to live. They learn a lot from me. I pass on what I know when they are interested.
Their computer are teachers too. As are the many games they play.
The stranger on YouTube is an amazing teacher too.
Books can teach a thing or two as well. Not just the words, but the process of reading and discovering too.
My iPad is a teacher to my 2 year old – the current theme are numbers and letters.
A trip to a shop becomes and education.
And we soon discover that a forest, a falling leaf or a trip to the beach can teach us wonderful things too.
All of these things (and many more!) are our teachers. Once we realise this as a society, then the sooner we can let go of our obsession that only 'qualified teachers' can tell us what we need to know.
I realise what I've been doing recently is slowly unsubscribing ourselves from *things*. Really this is unschooling ourselves as a family from everything that we don't need, but I kind of like the term unsubscribing. Maybe more people will understand what I mean when I use this term.
As a society we are overwhelmed. There is so much to deal with and we think it is all important and essential – yet often it is only until we unsubscribe that we realise life is better.
Those that live in the tech space will recognise this with information overload through email, news, marketing, apps, etc whilst forever keeping your skills up to date or face being out of the loop (unemployable) within 12 months (or people like to make you believe).
There is overload at home too. So much to mange. Household. Food. Money. Bills. Schedules for each person of the family. Places to be. Errands to run. Mouths to feed.
And there's the world of business too. I've seen it too many times…people building businesses in the wrong way because they are subscribing what others are telling them to do. Push for sales. Go for growth. Take on that office. Employ people. Borrow money. Take investment. Whatever it is – there is so much pressure to ruin business by subscribing to something for the benefit of someone else.
Then everywhere we go there are people overloading our lives. Get this. Or that. On the streets. In cabs. Buses. TV. Marketing. Adverts. In your face, constantly.
This is nothing new.
But there are things we subscribe to without thinking (too much) about it either. Schools as an education. A job. Work till you retire. Pensions. Commutes. Government (and therefore societal) standards. Parental and society expectations. A mortgage…
…and a dream that is not really yours.
I can't help but feel that when we are born we are all automatically subscribed to this stuff. We get pressured and spammed to follow life through how others (typically society/government) think we should live our life.
We are not given the time and the space to discover who we are and how we can become happy individuals. We are pushed through this wheel. We get churned as numbers. Thinking we have to continue through it, but little do most people know that there is an unsubscribe button.
We've been unsubscribing. You could too!
Unsubscribe today.!
[I published this last year on another blog, but have been doing some tidying up and feel it is better placed here].
I'm a mother of 3 boys, currently aged 2, 8 and 10. I now home school them too. This means my personal free time is usually very limited – this doesn't stop me wanting that ever elusive balanced life.
I'm no role model, but I want to have a balanced life. Get back into my old jeans. Get fit enough. Eat good, real and mostly unprocessed food. Whilst raising a family and making a living alongside my husband.
My 3rd son took a toll on my body. I always suffered during pregnancy with SPD, but my 3rd was the worst. I could barely walk for half of my pregnancy. It was painful. I thought it would all go away post birth, but no. Whilst I could walk, it was often painful. Short walks and simple trips into town were hard work, full of hurt and they left me knackered. Chiropractors visits were helpful, but the results never lasted. I knew deep in my heart that I needed regular exercise to help me get better.
It was hard to get started because anything faster than a walk really hurt my hips. I truly felt like I had the hips of an old woman
As my youngest was approaching 2 years I decided I need to take action. There had been some improvements, but for goodness sake – 2 years of SPD was driving me nuts. I had to stop feeling sorry for myself and get in shape. I started by running. Over a course of a month I worked up to running for 30 minutes – I didn't manage more than 5 minutes on my first attempt. I was so proud of myself! For me this is great progress!
But then life got busy and I struggled to find the time to do the running on my own. I didn't stop exercising though. I was making sure I did things with my son(s) 2-3 times per week. It has been a mixture of playing tennis, basketball, football, rollerblading and hanging down the skate park. My main focus was to keep my body moving.
Throughout this time my hips got so much better. This made me happy! I still have a lot of work to do, but I know that what I am doing are having positive effects on my body. I just need to keep it up and make it a habit.
I didn't do exercise for a week and my hips started hurting again.
One morning I went to a playground with my 2 year old. We were the first ones there or so I thought. I spotted a man there working out, using the playground as his gym. Now I'm sure I've seen this before, but something clicked in me.
"I should be doing that!" I said to myself. Infact, why haven't I seen other mothers doing this? We're always down the park, yet we all tend to stand and watch or sit, chatter and sip on coffee.
So I started working out at the playground (after the man left). I ran. Did press ups. Played on the monkey bars. And did some tricep dips. It was a proper work out, I even got hot and sweaty! And my boy joined in with the squats and the running! I can confirm that I run faster than him, but he squats much better than me.
I love this idea of working out at the playground and I'd love to make this a habit of mine. I've done a bit of research and have come up with a list of exercises that can be done. I'm not really going into detail about how to do each exercises, there is google for that.
Most times I go down the park now I make sure I have the right clothes and shoes to do some exercise.
Perhaps use this as a guide to build your own routine, that's what I'm using it for. And just because I have mentioned something here it doesn't mean I am quite fit enough to do them (yet)!
Running Exercises:
Monkey Bars:
Open space:
My boys love computers, but my eldest is also keen on taking it further. He's been working through the Khan Academy programming course. He gets stuck quite alot, so what we've started to do is work through the problems and activities together – also known as pair programming.
Last week we hooked his computer to the TV and we both took turns working through the problems. It meant we could easily see what was going on. I think it helped that I'm not a programmer myself and he could see the things I was trying out to solve the problems.
It's good fun! The best part for me is the working together bit. I can really feel it strengthen our relationship – which is really what I was hoping for and expecting from unschooling in general, but I still feel like I need to be pinched when these connecting and special moments happen.
Unschooling FTW!
We picked up a BrainBox electronics kit for £1 from a car boot the other week. It was one of those moments with Ben where I could really see the light shine up in his eyes as he successfully managed to make the helicopter spin into the air.
The more I am homeschooling in an unschooling way, the more I find that it's really not just about unschooling. It's about applying the unschooling ehtos to every part of our life.
I do not know what the right word is for this. Hence the use of 'uneverythinging'. That sounds so wrong!
I've been trying to figure out how to live a different kind of life that what society tends to feed us for quite a few years now. We are getting there one step at a time. I feel like unschooling has helped us take it to the next level.
From a personal level I'm figuring out things that really make me happy, then doing more of it. If I don't like something I try to figure out how to be-gone with it. I don't whinge, I don't complain. I just try to come up with better solutions.
My kids are understanding that I need to work, just like they need to do their work. As a family we constantly re-balancing our life so that we all maintain a not so stressful life.
I love to my work and my business is growing. It's exciting. Yet at the same time I'm very aware that my kids are around alot of the time. It's a constant juggle. We've recently got a live in aupair to help us with this. It is helping me to find that bit of time I need to focus on my work, spend some one-to-one time with the boys and actually have the occasional night out with my husband!
I'm also very aware that I do love spending time with my boys. I love being there for them. Hanging out. Doing stuff. Not much in the world can beat that. Some may think that means I sacrifice alot, but the reality is I don't think I do. Me being out all day and not being there for my boys would be sacrifice!
I find that I'm becoming a better parent and I'm really listening better to what my boys want and need. When you combine that with supporting them in finding interesting things to do then it turns into something special.
It's so encouraging to see the real happiness and satisfaction of life that my boys are experiencing. They don't always show it, but I can see it.
It's no bed of ros(i)es. There are some days where I just want to bang my head against the wall, but overall I feel like we are heading in the right direction. Our old way of life is increasingly looking like a distant memory!

Wow! Yes, a word I kept saying over and over again during what I can describe as an emotional and exhilarating experience. Anyone that knows me personally or via here on BaldHiker will know that I love the Lake District and spend many a day here wandering valley and fell. But to get up in the sky above it at such a level and with such freedom leaves memories beyond imagination. Up to the North of the Lake District, just off the A66 with Blencathra in full sight, sits the hamlet of Berrier. Amongst all the pastures and fields sits the airstrip to adventure. The Gyrocopter experiences with Roger Savage.
When I arrived I saw the Gyrocopter, bright red and ready When I posted the 'live' pic on my Twitter feed on the day many of you said things like "Where's the lid"? etc. I can tell you that this is not a helicopter as such and provides so much more of a great experience in my opinion. Roger gives his briefs so well and I doubt anybody would feel uneasy prior to take off. To see that you are sat with no cover (the windshield keeps you warmly protected from any force of moving through the air) plus you soon realize it is really far removed from a helicopter. The propeller you see at the rear gives forward thrust, the blades above are not powered by motor but naturally turn with aerodynamics when the air pushes up through them. Creating something very stable and easy to operate indeed. Calmed and briefed I was so excited to get airborne!
The take off down the airstrip in the field is short and fast…. Here we go, up and away!
Within seconds the wow factor starts. Flying at about 100 miles per hour only a few hundred feet from the landscape below. We headed to the first fell. On the summit was a hiker with his dog. Roger turned in and the hiker and I waved to each other with smiles. Skimming low just hundreds of feet from the summits of mountains and hills, or heading low through the centre of a great lakeland valley. It gives you a feeling that you never want to end. Yelps of excitement cannot be hidden. Over the first fell and.. there, right before your eyes, laid out like a welcome carpet of beauty is Ullswater, one of the most beautiful lakes in Britain. Never seen by many from this northern angle never mind altitude. Views of great and favourite mountains like Helvellyn too in your eyeshot. Being unrestricted in the gyrocopter the panoramas are absolutely immense. Look at this shot Roger has of coming over to Derwentwater from Borrowdale.
I was here with the BaldHikerTV crew as we are featuring this experience on an upcoming video to be seen soon on Visit Britain.
Roger has passion for flying his gyrocopters. I doubt he could ever wane of excitement himself no matter how many times he goes up. A quick afternoon time out can see him fly over all the Lake District, maybe take in Windermere, Wastwater, Morecambe Bay or a flight along Hadrians Wall and come back low over the Pennine peak tops. Roger loves to share, and once you have met his passion and experience combined with being up in the air with him, you will know why he offers these amazing excursions in the sky. I personally highly recommend that if you have the opportunity then take it. You will love it truly. Just look here at some of the views from his eyes recently. The Lake District as can only be seen this way….
Gain memories, gaze at wonders, experience the thrill in a stunning and beautiful setting. These experiences can be taken by yourself and can be found at Roger's website with lots more pictures and interaction on his Facebook Page. I shall be back in the air soon with him too, no doubt about it.

I love these pictures – what a fantastic experience. I can't imagine having the courage to try it but perhaps a glass of wine could convince me to change my mind.
It is on my wish list. Thank you for these wonderful photos!
I would like to buy a flight in the lake district for my husband. Please could you let me have details of cost, dates available ect.

Integrating OptimizeIt in Sybase EAServerAuthor: Samir Nigam, EAServer Engineering, Sybase
Document Overview
This document describes how to integrate OptimizeIt software (Profiler, Thread Debugger, Code Coverage) in Sybase EAServer. Details in this document are developed for Borland OptimizeIt version 4.1 and 5.5 running in Sybase EAServer version 4.2.2 and 5.0 (beta release) using Sun JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 on Microsoft Windows 2000. Parts of this document are adopted from OptimizeIt documentation. We assume that you have already installed OptimizeIt software appropriately.
What is OptimizeIt
Borland OptimizeIt is a software engineering tool for identifying performance related issues in a Java program. OptimizeIt Suite includes OptimizeIt Profiler, OptimizeIt Thread Debugger and OptimizeIt Code Coverage to pinpoint performance and reliability problems in Java code including memory leaks, performance bottlenecks, and thread problems. For further information, please check Borland website.
How OptimizeIt Works
OptimizeIt is divided into 2 parts:
- The Audit
System, which runs in the java virtual machine of the EAServer and collects
the performance testing data.
- The OptimizeIt GUI, that attaches to the audit system, displays the performance testing data, and interacts with the Audit System.
In order to integrate OptimizeIt with EAServer, you need to start the Audit System in the virtual machine of EAServer. Once the Audit System is started, you can start the OptimizeIt GUI and attach to the audit system. At that point, you can get the testing information for your Servlets, JSPs and EJBs just by executing them. The following sections explain how to configure EAServer to run with the Audit System and how to interact with the Audit System running in the virtual machine of EAServer.
EAServer Configuration Changes
Virtual Machine Startup Parameters
Following changes are needed in EAServer startup script (%JAGUAR%\bin\serverstart.bat) and Server properties file (%JAGUAR%\Repository\Server\Jaguar.props).
Modify EAS_CLASSPATH_P1 to add <OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\optit.jar.
set EAS_CLASSPATH_P1=%EAS_CLASSPATH_P1%;<OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\optit.jar
Modify EAS_BOOTCLASSPATH_P1 to add <OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\optit.jar and <OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\oibcp.jar.
set EAS_BOOTCLASSPATH_P1=%EAS_BOOTCLASSPATH_P1%;<OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\optit.jar
set EAS_BOOTCLASSPATH_P1=%EAS_BOOTCLASSPATH_P1%;<OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\oibcp.jar
Modify EAS_PATH_P1 to include <OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib directory.
set EAS_PATH_P1=%EAS_PATH_P1%;<OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib
server property ?com.sybase.jaguar.server.jvm.options? (edit Jaguar.props
or via Jaguar Manager) to add the following values.
OptimizeIt 4.1
This version supports JDK 1.3 only. Please add following to the above mentioned server property:
OptimizeIt 5.5
If you are using JDK 1.3.1 classic VM:
If you are using JDK 1.3.1 or 1.4.x, or want to use JDK 1.3.1 with Hotspot VM:
Please make sure that ?com.sybase.jaguar.server.jvm.nojit? is set to true in server properties file.
Adding OptimizeIt Servlet to EAServer (OptimizeIt 4.1 only)
- Use Jaguar Manager GUI to deploy OptimizeIt web application. The OptimizeIt Servlet WAR file is <OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\servlet\optimizeit.war.
- After deployment, highlight the OptimizeIt web application and bring up its properties window. Set its context-path to what you like. We set it to ?optit.?
- Install the ?optimizeit? web-app to the Jaguar server.
Note About Security Issues
You may need to grant all permissions to OptimizeIt application for proper execution in EAServer. You can set these permissions by modifying the policy file in %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\security\java.policy. The JAVA_HOME directory is typically %JAGUAR%\jdk\<jdk of your choice>.
Example: The following lines are added to the above mentioned policy file:
grant codeBase "file:<OptimizeIt_Directory>\lib\optit.jar"
permission java.security.AllPermission;
This concludes one-time steps required to integrate OptimizeIt in EAServer.
Enabling OptimizeIt Audit System in EAServer at runtime
Following steps are required to activate OptimizeIt system in EAServer when it is started.
1. Starting OptimizeIt GUI and EAServer
Using the OptimizeIt Audit System selector in Windows system tray or from the programs menu, select the OptimizeIt tool you currently wish to use with EAServer. Now click on ?Remote Application? tab from the settings option and click OK.
Start EAServer now in normal mode using JVM of your choice. We have tested EAServer running JDK 1.3.1 classic VM with OptimizeIt 4.1. You can run EAServer with JDK 1.3.1 or 1.4.1 Hotspot VM (server or client) besides classic VM with OptimizeIt 5.5. We recommend using classic VM for OptimizeIt analysis.
%JAGUAR%\bin\serverstart.bat -jvmtype classic
When using JDK 1.4.1 with hotspot VM (server or client), following error message is printed on the EAServer console. The Audit System still works but we recommend checking OptimizeIt documentation for more details. You may choose to update server JVM options property ( -Xrunoii:directi=f) to avoid this warning.
Warning: Using direct instrumentation is not possible with this virtual machine.
In order to minimize profiler overhead, it is better to disable this feature.
To disable this feature, edit the file <OptItDir>/lib/directi.table and make
sure the following line is present:
disabledFor = ( {version="1.4.1_03"; vendor="Sun Microsystems Inc.";} );
You can also start with the option directi=f ex: ...-Xrunoii:directi=f
2. Starting the OptimizeIt Servlet (OptimizeIt 4.1 only)
The OptimizeIt Servlet allows you to start OptimizeIt Audit System in the virtual machine of EAServer. Once OptimizeIt runs in the virtual machine of EAServer, you can attach to EAServer with the selected OptimizeIt tool such as profiler for memory leak analysis.
Invoke the servlet from the browser. (http://localhost:8080/optit/OptimizeIt).
Press the Start button on the HTML page that the servlet provides if you select to use the Profiler or Code Coverage from the Audit System Selector. Thread Debugger does not require you to actually use the OptimizeIt servlet. The Thread Debugger is automatically started when you start EAServer and Thread Debugger has been selected in the Audit System Selector.
3. Attaching OptimizeIt GUI to EAServer
Once EAServer is running with the OptimizeIt Audit System, you can now attach to the java virtual machine in EAServer.
From the Program menu, select Attach.
Change the port number and the hostname if necessary.
Press the Attach button. You are now connected to JVM running within EAServer. Please check OptimizeIt documentation for features and capabilities of the GUI.

Documents collection for your EAServer version at http://sybooks.sybase.com/eag.html.

One day at a time.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It's one of those days of body hate, and comparison. I'm laying in my bed being pitiful, but I realize that I have to love me. If I don't love me who will. I can wish to be different or be like someone else, but that's not going to happen I'll always be Kelsey. As difficult as it may be somedays with all the moments of "What did I just do? That was stupid!" Or the various foods I stuff in myself and think, "I really didn't need to eat that cookie." I'm me for all my flaws. I'd like to change myself, sure I've tried half a dozen (under estimation) times, but it never seems to work. I always give into old habits. Although I am starting a new habit, a love of working out. It's part of me now and I'm thankful. Working out may help change my flaws—> WOOHOO! but that's not why I'm doing it. I'm working out because of the way it makes me feel. My endorphins soar, my body feels powerful. I can take on the world.

Saudi Kingdom not to dispatch troops to Iraq
The United States has not asked Saudi Arabia to send peacekeeping troops to Iraq, the kingdom's foreign minister said Saturday, stressing such a request would have to come from a legitimate Iraqi government.
"I believe the (Saudi) kingdom is not prepared to send troops to Iraq unless the request was made by a legitimate Iraqi government," Prince Saud al-Faisal told a news conference in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah.
"Nothing of this has happened," Prince Saud said in response to a question on whether Washington had asked Riyadh to send troops to help US-led forces stabilize Iraq.
Al-Faisal, however, reiterated Riyadh's welcome of the formation of a US-backed interim Governing Council in Iraq, and hoped this would lead to the setting-up of a permanent national government in Baghdad. "The kingdom considers the establishment of the (Governing) Council a positive step towards the restoration of civil institutions and normal life in this sisterly country," he said, according to AFP.
Saudi Arabia will not open a representative office for the Iraqi Governing Council on its territory, said the minister, adding, "Diplomatic representation should come after a legitimate government is formed in Baghdad." (Albawaba.com)

The debate over raising the debt limit seems to be coming to a conclusion, after weeks of wondering what it would mean for the United States to default. The warnings said that the United States' credit rating would be damaged, leading to problems with long-term investment from other countries, while others said that not much would happen if the United States defaulted. The United States is still a reliable country for investment, the only real option from countries like China who still have money to invest. Regardless, the new plan will reduce spending by $2.4 trillion over the next decade, raise the debt limit in stages to avoid default, and allow for a bipartisan committee to agree to another round of cuts. If they fail to come up with a new budget in November, there will be automatic cuts to defense and Medicare, which is supposed to hurt Republicans and Democrats equally.
Polling shows that nobody really wants to cut Medicare or Social Security and that defense is the most easily sacrificed, as the current wars and attempts at American hegemony are unpopular. Polls show that even Tea Party supporters do not want cuts to Medicare or Social Security. The President and party leaders, as well as the media, have pointed out that few are satisfied with the results of the debt debate, though it is clear the Republican congressmen are not acting on the behalf of their constituents in arguing for limiting popular programs. Meanwhile, Democratic attempts to reach a compromise have made them less favorable with their party members as well, as they try to shun their image as the profligate party.
A graph from the New York Times showing reader comments. Although the source is biased, fewer people support reductions in spending without increases in revenue, yet they are more stalwart in their opinion (indicated by deeper orange colors).
Even though a majority of people would be accepting of closing tax loopholes and increasing revenues, the deal reached does not promise any increase in revenue. The compromise may not even pay off for Democrats, since the cuts could stall the economy, creating more joblessness and less economic recovery, hurting Obama's chances of reelection. High confidence in the government, like tax cuts to increase consumer spending, do not help our economy.
As the graph below shows, most of the debt we have was accumulated under George W. Bush, mainly on unnecessary wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. People seem to fail to understand these facts about what occurs under Republican presidencies. Bush acted unhampered by Congress and made himself into a legislative authority, whereas Obama has come off as weak for trying to be partisan and not being forceful with his agenda. He, too, passed tax cuts that do not help the economy and only further put us into debt.
Source: New York Times
One problem in convincing people of the increases in spending under Republican presidents is the idea that Democrats are associated with the government. Thus, when something goes wrong in Washington, Democrats face the backlash. The author of the linked article, Stanley Greenberg, says that having Democrats enact large reforms, rather than half-hearted measures produced by compromise and fear of appearing socialist, are less desirable than overhauls to tax reform and immigration policy. Strong reform from Democrats could have been popular with the public, but was not popular in the Republican-led House.
It is truly sad that Obama did not do more when he had the chance at the beginning of his term before the 2010 elections. It seemed that even at the early stage he was worried about his chances of reelection, and that cost him the opportunities to make a difference. (Certainly with other policies, such as reform to gay rights, he has never spearheaded a progressive effort). The president, especially in G.W.'s term, has the opportunity to inform policy while Congress waffles. I can respect Obama's desire to restore the Congress to its original duties, of being a more representative legislative body, but it failed Obama and the rest of America, and probably would've failed us again if he did not act on the debt. My hope for the next election is that, as a second-term president, Obama will be less scared to make a difference.

Here's a tough hypothetical - you pull up to an outdoor Redbox on a 10 degree night. Someone is shivering at the kiosk, scanning options. Two people wait for their turn at the Redbox from inside the warmth of their idling vehicles. If you get out of your car, does your willingness to bear the cold give you the right to cut in line? I think so, but maybe it make more sense to think of it this way: if you park your shopping cart near the grocery store checkout then run to the toiletry aisle to grab some toothpaste, are you still in line? AW HELLS NO. So that answers that question - here are three more pieces of Redbox Etiquette.
1. You've got 5. Let's face it: 75% of what's available at Redbox is shit. If you don't see anything you like in under five minutes, get lost. Most everything after the first couple menu pages is straight-to-DVD horror anyway.
2. Feed the beast. If someone is returning a disc, let them step in and put it back. It could be the one movie you actually wanted to see, and they shouldn't have to wait around just to drop something off. And if you're the one queueing up, don't be afraid to announce your intent to return and skidaddle.
3. DO NOT ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OTHER REDBOXERS. Nor should you offer them. You know nothing about these people and their tastes. Do you ask strangers for recommendations about who to vote for before you walk into the booth on Election Day? Do you shout out your favorite foods at the grocery store? If you can't tell by the ALL CAPS, I've had some bad experiences socializing at the R-Box before (yup, I went there) and don't suggest trying it yourself.
On the advice side, here's a few more tips:
1. Film, then food. Find your movie before you go buy candy, soda, liquor, what-have-you. It would be a shame to wind up with all that good junk food and no excuse to eat it.
2. Hit play. Don't rent a movie you don't plan on watching that night. That's how you end up paying 20 dollars for something you never see.
3. Location, Location, Location. If you're reserving a movie online, good for you. Way to be a smart consumer. Now TRIPLECHECK that you're reserving your movies from the right Redbox. Because if you muck that up, it negates the whole 'smart consumer' thing.

fic: Stepford, 1/?. (Ten/Rose)
This is another one for my Trope Bingo card, the Fake Relationship square. It's in two parts right now, but I might end up with three. It's also supposed to fulfill this week's Then There's Us challenge, but we'll see how that goes.
Adult, 4,955 words, this section.
"You know, I always expected something like this to happen." Rose is grinning, wide and toothy, as her voice bounces with laughter. "I just thought it'd be, well, me, that got us into it."
The last bit brings him up short. "Oh?"
Rose shrugs. "Yeah, one too many gossipy women on the Estate, an old school friend, a party, and — poof! — fake relationship. Just to keep a cover, you understand."
He nods, oh, right, when she says it like that, of course — "Wait, what?"
She waves a hand dismissively in the air. "Oh, come on, you know what I mean, that sort of thing is always happening on the telly. Take two attractive people, mix in a little tension, stick 'em in a single bedroom for ratings, stir and repeat."
There's a part of his brain that visualizes the sentence, every word spelled out in strong, straight font, and each part of it is lighting up in sequence, as he tries to figure out where to focus.
"Tension?" No, that's not it, should've gone with — "You think I'm attractive?"
She does, he knows, but he's felt a little off balance almost since they landed on this planet, and forcing her to admit it might unseat her a little bit, too.
Except Rose doesn't even blink.
"You are attractive," she says, and her face screws up in confusion, as if he's questioned the color of the sky (an Earth-y blue, on this planet) or whether or not he's wearing shoes (Chuck Taylors, as ever).
"Right, 'course I am," he says, hustling to recover and straightening his tie. "Just didn't realize you'd…noticed."
She laughs at him outright this time, taking a few moments to fill the air with the light, bubbly sound of it before she finally shakes it off. "No, no," she says, exaggerated. "I'm always just looking at your face because you've got food on it. Honestly, what are you like?"
As he looks at the queen-sized bed in front of them, and the pile of luggage at their feet, he's beginning to question that himself, actually.
It had started well enough — smooth landing on a roll-the-dice location, sunny day, Rose Tyler by his side. All the ingredients for the sort of sweeping, dangerous adventure they specialize in.
Except, within a matter of minutes, they'd been surrounded by a gaggle of a women — women he recognized, and who apparently recognized him, even though it had to have been at least five faces since they'd seen him.
That damn blue box, giving him away every time.
"Welcome," he'd said to Rose, trying to keep it under his breath, "To Stepford."
Before she could respond, she'd been swept up, her ring-less left hand held up for public mockery and he'd rushed to cover for it.
"Oh, um, darling," he said, fishing around in his coat pocket as the words knotted in his throat (Darling?). "Forgot I picked up your ring from the jeweler's."
The women, Rose among them, had turned to look at him with interest, and come on, come on, there had to be something that would work in his pocket.
There, just there, in the corner, that felt like — oh, one carat? Maybe a bit more? — and yes, that was it, the diamond ring he'd won in a claw game on Pixaria. He pulled it out, taking a split second to slip a bio-damper onto his own ring finger.
"Here you go," he crowed, brandishing the ring, "All shining and perfect." He scratched at the back of his neck with his free hand, trying to apologize with widened eyes. "Just like you."
The ire of the women seemed to deflate as Rose reflexively extended her hand, fingers just the slightest bit sweaty — nerves, probably — and he slipped the ring on.
"Wouldn't do to have people think we weren't married," he said loudly, "Especially when there are planets out there that'll have you executed for that sort of thing."
Rose's eyes widened to match his own and she nodded imperceptibly, mouthing the word, "Executed" as he forced a smile for the women.
"Hello, ladies," he said. "Sorry to run, but I've just remembered we have dinner reservations. Anniversaries, you know how it goes." He closed his hand around Rose's, tugging her lightly toward the TARDIS as he backed up slowly.
"Now, now, Doctor," the tallest of the women said. "You remember from last time — you must let us show you some hospitality. Can't just be running off, that would be rude. You're not rude are you, Doctor?"
He opened his mouth only to snap it shut as Rose's heel connected with the toe of his trainers, "The Doctor? Rude?" Rose said, very, very loudly. "Never! I'm Rose Ty — I'm Rose. I'm the Doctor's Rose. And you are?"
The taller woman's eyes narrowed as she squared her shoulders, the crisp fabric of her button-up shirt stretching slightly with the movement. "I'm Cathy, and this is Christy, Catie, Carol, and Carina."
Each of the women gave a polite smile as they were mentioned. The Doctor scrambled to identify unique qualities to help with name retention, but other than a few height differences, there was no uniqueness to be found. Slim, blonde, blue-eyed, it was just as he remembered, from back when he himself was blond and blue-eyed.
"We're all so very pleased to meet you," the women, minus Cathy, said in chorus, and the Doctor didn't miss the small step Rose took backward. He tightened his grip on her hand in reassurance.
"Yep — yes," Rose said. "I'm…so very pleased to meet you as well."
Cathy pinched her lips into a tight smile. "I'm sure," she said. "Come now, let's get you settled. Catie, you can host them for the week."
Catie, who he'd been almost sure was actually Carol, nodded enthusiastically. "Of course!" She clapped her hands together. "I'll just allow you a few minutes to gather your luggage, and then I'll show you to your room. I think you'll find it entirely pleasant. I've just redone the decor from a sky blue to a much more calming cerulean blue."
Luggage! That'll be it then, they can just pop into the TARDIS, pretend to pack, and he'd start the dematerialization sequence instead.
"Doctor," Cathy said. "You can stay with us, I'm sure the other husbands would love to meet you, well, again. We'll have some of the children help Rose with your things."
Damn, so close.
Rose looked at him with only the slightest bit of anxiety in her expression, before nodding and turning for the TARDIS doors.
"Rose?" Cathy called. "Don't forget to pack something…upscale. We'll be visiting the theatre on Friday, it simply wouldn't do to wear —" her eyes raked over Rose's outfit as she sneered, "— jeans."
Rose nodded and disappeared into the TARDIS. He gave the ship, and the separate bedrooms it contained, one final look before he was pulled away in the direction of a country club.
Turning back to him in their new, temporary bedroom, Rose's eyes have cleared, her mouth setting in a line to create an expression he always associates with Rose getting down to business.
Well, a certain type of business, he amends, gaze darting quickly to and then away from the bed. He wouldn't know about the expressions she makes for other types of business, try as he might to imagine them.
"All right," she says, "What's the plan? Free the men? Or, wait, is it the women? Who's in trouble here, Doctor? I can't really tell."
He knocks his trainer against the luggage, wincing as it connects with a solid mass instead of the empty bag he'd been expected. What had she packed? Bricks?
"Um," he clears his throat. "We are. We're in trouble."
She rolls her eyes. "I'd figured that," she says. "But surely we'll be saving someone else, alongside ourselves. That's the way it goes, that's what we do."
That big, big bed and its frankly not-very-calming cerulean blue duvet seems to shimmer in front of him, a reminder that nothing about this particular trip is going to be "what they do."
He steps determinedly around the luggage, perching himself on top of the desk instead of its accompanying chair, and he's sure somewhere Catie just shuddered.
"Neither the men, nor the women, are prisoners here," he says, scrubbing a hand across the back of his neck, as he swings his dangling legs back and forth. "It's all very voluntary. About, oh, a couple hundred years after your time on Earth, there's a movement that rebels against how free-wheeling the planet has become. They set out for here — reinstate a little order, get back to what they consider family values. They really do it call it Stepford, Rose. The negative connotations of that name got lost over time. They see it as idyllic."
Rose is watching him carefully and he tries not to fidget under the scrutiny.
"What about executing single people? There's got to be a problem with that."
She's got a sparkle in her eyes, that little hint of reckless adventure-lust that he's done nothing but nurture.
"Well, yes, that's a problem, only it doesn't actually come up very often," he says. "Stepford doesn't receive many visitors, and the ones they do just pretend to be in love, or, well, married. Like we're doing. Easily avoided, as executions go."
She crosses the room, wheeling the desk chair out to sit before deliberately propping her feet up on the desk next to where he's seated. Forget the shuddering, somewhere Catie is having full blown heart palpitations.
"Is that what you did last time you were here? Pretended?"
There's a strategic casual air to her question that he notices immediately. They're not too far from Sarah Jane and the knowledge he's had other people to…pretend with.
"No," he says, shaking his head. "I was here alone. They tried to pair me off — was blonde then, blue-eyed, too, and they wanted me to make little blonde-haired, blue-eyed babies with one of the older daughters. Didn't want to hear a word about Gallifreyan genetics either. In the end, I told them I had several severe food allergies, nothing they wanted to pass on to their stock. They sent me off with a fruit basket and a handwritten note. Delicious apples, here in Stepford, we'll have to see about getting some of those."
The corners of Rose's mouth turn down, processing what he's said, and there's more than a few things he hopes she doesn't push at — Gallifreyan genetics, for one.
"Blonde-haired, blue-eyed women," she finally says, dropping her feet back down to the ground. "Seems like the sort of place you wouldn't mind staying for a while." She meets his eye and the brown ringing her pupils has never been more apparent.
They're not too far from Reinette either, he realizes that, as well.
He taps the toe of his trainer against her kneecap. "You're wrong, you know. I do mind. But we're here for a week now, and at least the company I came with is good."
He ducks his head so she can see his grin. They'd had it out about Madame de Pompadour already, and he's doing his best to keep it that way — out and away.
She returns his smile and something loosens in his chest. "A week?"
He hops off the desk, "Well, six and a half days now. Any shorter and it'd seem like we don't want to be here, any longer and we'd be overstaying our welcome. The unspoken rules of polite Stepford society."
She rises to stand next to him as they survey the luggage, nudging his shoulder with her own. "And you do so well with polite."
He rocks sideways to return the motion with a laugh. "Height of courtesy, me. Come on, let's get unpacked. Should almost be time for dinner."
They work quickly, and he realizes that there's an actual, proper bag for him as well. Spare button-ups and ties, boxer briefs and undershirts, socks — there's even an extra pair of trainers.
Embarrassed, he shoves the pants into a drawer and piles the rest of the clothes on top of them.
"The TARDIS packed that for you," Rose says, motioning at the empty suitcase as he tries to jam the drawer shut. "Just in case you were worried about me rooting around in your delicate underthings."
"Oi! Hardly delicate," he argues. "Quite manly and…flattering."
Rose laughs, "I'm sure."
He bristles at that, "Rose Tyler, just because you haven't had occasion to see me in my pants doesn't mean it's any less spectacular."
She grins and brushes his hands away from the overflowing drawer, smoothing the clothes down before sliding it shut. "It's spectacular, is it?"
He sniffs, "Of course it is. You should know that, we are married. We know all about each other in our underpants."
Oh, no no no no, her face is far too amused, and this isn't going to go well at all.
"Do we?" She grins around that damn tongue of hers. "Tell me — what sort of knickers do I wear?"
He knows the answer, in fact, he's known the answer for a long, long time, longer even than he's had this body, low-riding jeans, and too-sheer skirts, but telling her so, admitting he's noticed that sort of thing, well, it seems a bit dangerous.
Instead, he shrugs helplessly.
"That's what I thought," she crows, and turns back to unpacking her own suitcase.
"Patterns," he blurts before he can stop himself.
He focuses on the carpeting, the plush, pristine look of it. "Patterns," he says again. "Your knickers have patterns. Flowers, stripes, polka dots, animal print, honestly, Rose, most of the time your knickers are completely clashing with the rest of your outfit. Doesn't that drive you mental?"
Rose's cheeks go pink as her mouth opens and closes. What did he say that for? What did he even think that for? Why, in point of fact, is he allowed to talk or think at all?
She's staring at him now, clutching — oh god, she actually has knickers in her hand, striped things with lace edges, and they're dangling from her fingertips over an open drawer.
Then, when he's ready to apologize, or flee the room, or both, she laughs.
"Who matches their knickers to their outfit? Is that — oh! You do!" She's still laughing, fully belly laughs that shake her whole body. "What's it like? Blue tie, blue pants? Or more intricate than that? Haven't got yourself swirly boxer briefs, do you?"
She drops her knickers and darts for the drawer containing his clothes, but he slams a hand out to keep it shut.
"It's the first thing," he says, begrudgingly. "The blue thing."
She rocks back on her heels, squinting at the trousers he's wearing, like she might be able to see what's underneath.
"And you, dear, find it completely adorable," he adds. "In case anyone asks."
Hmph. There, not so funny now. Fake marriage and fake feelings on his decidedly un-fake underpants.
She stops laughing abruptly. "Will they?"
"Will they what?"
She nods at his trousers, presumably referencing his matching pants. "Will they ask that sort of thing?"
He tugs at his ear. It hadn't really occurred to him, outside of winning this little conversation, but they might. There are all sorts of things he doesn't know about Rose, that her…husband would.
"Well, I don't think pants are acceptable for polite conversation, but you're right. They will expect us to know certain things. Maybe we better get our stories straight."
Rose nods. "Right, right, let me just —" She dumps the rest of her clothes into the drawers, shuffling them haphazardly before sitting down on the bed.
"All ready, I'm ready," she says, arranging herself primly. "Dating the Doctor 101, let's begin."
He sits down next to her. They're both perched right at the foot of the bed, and he's hyper-aware of the space that is, and isn't, between them.
"Well, first, it's not dating, it's marriage," he says, plucking at a imaginary loose thread on the duvet. There's not a thing out of place in the entire room, save the stuff they brought in with them, but she allows the gesture, her own hands scratching at the material of her jeans. "But you're right, we should start with dating. First date —"
"Chips!" They say it in unison, and maybe this won't be as hard as he thought. If they stick close to the truth, there won't be too many lies to keep track of.
"Put that one down for favorite food, too," Rose says, and he nods.
"Worst date?" He looks at her curiously, eyebrows raised in what he hopes is a nonthreatening way.
She tilts her head, "Well, there was that one time I thought you stood me up on Christmas."
He opens his mouth in shock, "Rose Tyler! You stood me up!"
"Only because I thought the date was with a different man!"
The wince that crosses his face is brief, but she catches it anyway.
"I know now, though," she says gently. "Same man."
Flexing his toes inside his trainers, he turns to look at her more fully. "Sorry I didn't tell you that…plans could change like that."
She reaches out to cover the hand still resting on the bed with her own. "I know. And I'm sorry I asked if we could go back to the old…plans."
He nods and twists his wrist, so that his palm is face up and beneath hers before squeezing her hand lightly.
"What other things should we know about each other?" she asks. "First kiss?"
"The TARDIS," he says, at the same time she says, "New Earth."
"The TARDIS? We've never kissed in the TARDIS." Her voice is genuinely curious, and that answers a question he's had for months now — whether she remembers.
"No, no, you're right," and he tries to ignore any sadness in his own voice. It's better if she doesn't remember. He doesn't exactly know why, but it's better. "Just thought that would be easy to remember. I'd forgotten all about New Earth."
He hasn't forgotten though, not even a little.
"Wish I could forget," she says. "Bloody embarrassing, that was."
He twines their fingers together, dancing his fingertips over the backs of her knuckles.
"Aw, I don't know," he says. "Was sort of nice."
She snatches her hand away to swat at his shoulder. "Nice? That was awful! I don't — Doctor, if you need to know, you know, for Stepford, I don't kiss like that. All forceful and without any…"
Catching her hand as it retreats from his shoulder, he can't stop himself from asking, "Without any what?"
She fixes him with a hard look, like she's trying to figure out if he's baiting her, and he is, just a little bit, but there are so many ways that sentence could end.
Without any finesse, without any passion, without any —
"Tongue," she says. "Without any tongue."
Well, that was unexpected. Is it hot in the room? It's hot in the room. And fast, everything in the room is fast now. And a little zoomed in. A very zoomed in, hot, fast room, that's where they are now.
He can't help himself from asking this time either. "Tongue?"
She nods and then collapses suddenly back on to the bed. Her hand is pulled from his and her voice is muffled by the way she turns her face into the duvet, like she's trying to wipe off any embarrassment, or the entire conversation.
"Tongue," she confirms, turning her head to peer at him where he's still sitting up. "You don't kiss like that?"
There's blood and hormones and energy pounding in his ears, everything tumbling together, Rose Tyler's pink little tongue wrapping around his own in his mind's eye.
"Well, um," he says, and can she even hear him? Can she hear anything that isn't his body responding inappropriately, fizzing little sparks of light sloshing in his veins and pooling in his groin. "I — well. Kissing is actually a…in ancient times…did you know that whales…sometimes picnic ants…"
Rose's embarrassment has been swept away, replaced with clear eyes and a teasing smile as he digs himself deeper.
"You know, Doctor," she says. "Shireen used to have this little poem — a peach is a peach, a plum is a plum, but a kiss ain't a kiss, without some tongue."
It's a smug little grin she's wearing now, that blasted tongue poking out from the side and apparently reveling in his unease.
"That's not a very factual poem," he manages. "On Smuckers V, a plum is actually an orange, and an orange is actually drywall."
Rose's eyebrows raise, a mocking dance up her forehead, and then she's rolling her head back and forth on the duvet, "Oh, god, you!" she says, and it sounds exasperated. "Do you ever do anything normally?"
There's a fork in the road, he can see it as clear as day, a quick brush-off and a speech on the mundanities of "normal," or a much more interesting path — one full of pink and yellow and wet, human heat.
He shifts over her body, twisting at the waist so he cages her in, torso above hers and hands on either side of her head on the mattress.
"Apparently, Rose Tyler," he says, pleased at the way she's gone completely still beneath him, "I kiss normally."
Her lips part, little puffs of breath that he's just an inch too far away to feel escaping between them.
"Do you?" Her voice is all wrapped up in so many layers, and the top one looks like hope. Breathy, warm hope.
He nods and dips his head closer to hers. It would be weird, suddenly being perched over Rose, ready to — well, ready to kiss her — except he's always ready to kiss her. There's a perpetual state of pre-kiss air between them, always hanging around, making things oppressive and exciting and giddy.
That moment right before the drop on a roller coaster, the nervous tingle of knowing what's coming, but being unable to predict the exact moment it'll arrive, they flourish in that moment, they thrive and pulse and live.
"I do," he says.
Her tongue darts out to wet her lips, deliberate and co-signed by the challenge in her eyes. There's a few strands of her hair out of place, and he shifts his weight more fully onto his left hand, so that he can brush them away with his right.
There's always so much wanting between them, along with the anticipating, he wants and wants and wants, but it's the getting that keeps holding him back. He's completely terrified of the getting, the getting and the having and the eventual losing.
It's enough to make him shift backward, those same routine fears, things he's felt for hundreds of years made that much more vivid by the spicy-sweet smell of Rose underneath him.
She looks disappointed, her face falling as he scoots back from her, moving to raise up off his other hand, too, and back away.
Run away.
"I don't believe you," she says suddenly.
"What?" He stops mid-motion, hands poised in the air over her shoulders.
"I don't believe you that you kiss like that."
Something tightens in his chest, recognition of a cheap gambit and how desperately he wants to fall for it.
"No?" He moves forward again as he says it, fingers settling back into the fabric of the duvet, more of her hair trapped between skin and cotton. Everything is so soft, she is so soft, and he's suddenly tired of all the rough edges that brick in his existence.
"Not even a little bit," she says. "I think you're lying."
He nudges her nose with his own. "Not lying."
Her chin tilts up, bringing their lips close enough that he'd count it, really he would, on some universal score card, kiss totals for the Doctor, increased by one. But he can do better, he can do so much better.
"Prove it," she says, and he presses his mouth to hers.
It's supposed to be about his tongue, some distant, small part of his brain remembers, but the rest of him, the bits that are less prone to pedantic nit-picking, those bits want to take their time getting there.
And so he starts slow, mouth still pressed gently to hers, he shifts, moving experimentally a few times, angling to grasp her bottom lip between his own, and there — there's the return of pressure he was waiting for. Rose's head lifts, tilts, soft, warm lips advancing and retreating, and everything narrowed down and everything blown wide.
She tastes like lip balm and salt, and the information is being passed back to his taste buds, a series of hand-offs, molecules and air, and he wants to experience it firsthand, wants it exploding across his tongue, wet and warm and agile, and he opens his mouth against hers.
There's a split second, a brief flash of infinity, the top of the roller coaster, tongues in their own mouths and braced for impact, and then he's pushing forward, body leaning into hers as his tongue slips by twin sets of lips to twine with her own.
It's too much all at once, and he stutters, mouth stilling above hers almost before he's started. He's poised above her, with his tongue in her mouth, and he's not moving at all, completely frozen, something like terror and something like freedom seizing every inch of his skin.
Her own movements, her momentum, rhythms and routines and well-worn grooves, everything is knocked out of step as she recognizes he's stopped, and then she's grinning against his mouth, around both of their tongues. A wide, awkward thing that stretches her lips and brings the tops of her teeth against his tongue.
Fitting her hands into his hair, she scrapes her nails across his scalp, before lifting him away slightly, pulling their mouths apart, but not entirely.
"Keep going," she mumbles against him, and it's muffled, and it's wet, but he understands, and he nods before closing the small distance again.
Humans and their kissing, and it really is very, very messy, and, oh god, oh fuck, it's completely brilliant, the way it's about so much more than what their mouths are doing.
Her hands are still in his hair, grasping and tugging and pulling, and he doesn't know, can't possibly be expected to be aware of his own appendages, should hardly be responsible for the way he's shifted, dropping to his elbows above her and fitting his arms underneath hers, so that he can slip them between her back and the bed, his hands clutching to curl around her shoulders.
It's an amazing anchor point, pulling her up and pressing her down, mouths shifting with each movement, pulling back only to return, and he is licking, he is basically licking Rose Tyler's tongue.
In a movement full of clumsy grace, she maneuvers to tangle their legs, so that his thigh is trapped between her own and he's about two seconds from getting hard, two seconds from pressing down into her, two seconds from the seam on her jeans and the friction of his zip and fuck, fuck, fuck, there it is, his erection, rising, hardening, and kissing and rutting and low, breathy moans.
Her legs twist around his, bringing him closer, before she's kicking out, wiggling, until his hips are bracketed by her thighs, soft, fleshy, perfect little parentheses and he wants to hear every aside Rose Tyler ever makes.
His feet are dangling off the bed, no purchase to be found as he scrambles to press closer to her, and then she's shimmying up the duvet, the rough slide of his-and-hers cotton flooding every atom with friction and need.
There's a sharp, rapid sound, and it's fuzzy and stumbling as he pulls away and tries to place it. Rose beneath him, mouth wet and eyes glazed and no, it hasn't come from her. His eyes find the headboard and he bucks his hips hard, but it doesn't move, no meeting of wood on wall, just the sexiest fucking noise he's ever heard in his life escaping from Rose's mouth.
The harsher noise sounds again, a burst of cacophany in a room full of labored breathing, and they both recognize it at the same time —
It's the door.
"Dinner's ready!" Catie's voice echoes into room, smothering them, and he shifts off of Rose with a sigh of regret.
"Coming," he growls, the words loud and rough.
"Would have done," Rose says, her voice is low, and it takes only a second for him to catch on, to meet her eyes with a delighted look and nod as enthusiastically as possible.
He swings his legs off the side of the bed and stands, turning to pull Rose into a sitting position and watching as she finds her footing on the floor as well.
They shuffle across the room, navigating the empty luggage and straightening their clothes and hair. As he reaches for the door handle, Rose stops him with a hand on his shoulder. He turns to look at her, and something in his chest flips at the sight of her, pink cheeks, red mouth, her shirt hopelessly wrinkled.
"Save room for dessert," she tells him.
And of course he will, it'd be rude not to.
fic and a swift diffusion of plot outside of the relationship stuff and we're off!

Cosplay of the Day: Lumpy Space Princess Is Ready for Promcoming
Oh my glob, you guys — this Lumpy Space Princess cosplay inspired by our favorite 'Adventure Time' character is just the cutest.
There's a pretty popular trend among 'Adventure Time'-loving female cosplayers, where, instead of taking the literal translation of Lumpy Space Princess and wearing a big, lumpy purple costume, they wear cute prom-style dresses and do their hair up real fancy-like to give their head that Lumpy feel.
We love this particular Lumpy Space Princess cosplay, courtesy of 17-year-old Hana, who lives in England. Hana put this costume together to cosplay as part of an 'Adventure Time' group, and if her costume looks this fantastic, we can't wait to see pics of her posing with her friends. Hana notes that she'd rather not be wearing the jacket in the photos, but it was just too cold outside that day. No worries, Hana — your costume is still totally mathematical.
Hana's costume isn't complete just yet — she still wants to add some gold stars to her dress and find some purple and gold eye makeup to kick it up a notch, but we're very impressed by the work she's done so far and we're dying to know how she got her skin to be that purple!
Check out some pics of Hana below, or head over to her Tumblr page to get to know her a little better.
Do you have cosplay photos you would like to submit for consideration? E-mail to staff [at] screencrush.com!

The Two Coreys
This is so bizarre, especially to those of us who remember these guys from such seminal hits of the 80s such as The Lost Boys, License to Drive, and The Goonies

Re: The Two Coreys
God, Corey Haim looks like he did waayyyy too many drugs when he was younger. Oh yeah, that's because he did waayyyy too many drugs when he was younger.

Re: The Two Coreys
These two were on Larry King recently. I don't think Larry ever saw Lost Boys. I don't think Larry knew who the hell they were. The way they talk about themselves, you'd think they were in the Beatles or something. I don't think either was ever more than a minor celebrity. That one kid was still dressing like Micheal Jackson until a couple of years ago. And he claims to have been sober since the eighties.
