Angry Olmert Day 18
"Ummm, It's essential, uhhhh, that we do what's, ahhhhhh, right -- not necessarily, ummmm, what appears to be, ohhhhh, immediately popular."
George Bush stuttered these words yesterday as he stood next to his loyal alibi from the land of royals with cool accents. What's the definition of Democracy again? Never mind.
I must say thank God and all his annointed men on earth that we have a man in Washington DC that is willing to decide what is Right for us in Lebanon and impose it on us dumb fucks. A "peace proposal" will fall from the sky tomorrow and land in our bombed out airport. We must accept it and kiss it on both cheeks because that is what's right.
Do what we say is right, or have nothing left. Don't be naughty, listen to Rice. All sort of offers we can't refuse, yet the self-righteous one does not bring up the obvious solution according to 99% of the civilized 21st century humans on this globe.
Immediate cease-fire and peaceful negotiations.
Alas, that is just not, umm, ahhh, oohhh, ummm, uhh... Right.

Angry Olmert Day 17
Day 17 of Olmert's military campaign against Lebanon sees no major changes. Civilians still being killed by the dozens by Israel's war machine with the blessings of Bush's team of liberators. There doesn't seem to be any efforts in sight to stop the bloodshed. The world watches on TV, feels bad but does nothing.
Lebanon has become part of Bush's New Middle East Project. The most democratic country in the Middle East, the most diverse country in the Middle East, the country whose people enjoy the most freedoms and rights in the Middle East is being punished for not being submissive. Meanwhile the root of extremism and champions of oppression are praised as moderate allies in the New Middle East.
Lebanon will be the example for the New Middle East alright. It won't be what the nincompoops in Washington are hoping for though. We will make it happen without invading countries or bullying people. Our will will not be bent. Our choices will be respected. We will set an example, that is beyond doubt.
What is questionable though is how long will Olmert be willing to do Bush's bidding in Lebanon. Is he dumb enough to turn Israel into a sacrificial lamb for Bush's failed experiments in the region? Well, he is, but how long will the Israelis put up with his ever-changing goals and diminishing expectations. He might've been angry, but he's starting to look more like Dazed Olmert, or In way over his head Olmert, or Singing-the Lebanon-blues Olmert, or ok You get the point.

Angry Olmert Day 16
I don't want to get accused of only pointing the negative side of Olmert's vicious criminal war.
If you look beyond the 500 civilians killed so far and the immeasurable pain and suffering he inflicted on the people of Lebanon and the people of Israel for that matter, you might find a positive.
Back in January I tipped the scales at 96.5 Kg. When I saw that number I freaked out and started a serious diet. My goal was 89 Kg, but when I hit 91 Kg I was content with my achievement and went back to pigging out. Since then I've hovered around that weight.
Today, after 2 weeks under siege and no working elevator, I weigh 87.5 Kg.
I look and feel great. Heck, Ariel Sharon has had tubes up every orifice in his body over that same period of time, he has kept a strict diet of liquid dripping from a sac(yummyyy), he's had half his brain removed, and he probably still weighs more than me.
Surveillance planes are overhead now. That's usually a sign that the F-16s will be following soon.
Good Night.

Angry Olmert Day 14
Since a ceasefire seems to be frowned upon by the whole universe, a.k.a the Bush Regime, it's time to make the necessary lifestyle adjustments to withstand a long battle. With bread prices going up and liquor prices going down some choices are too obvious. Other decisions, however, aren't quite as easy.
When commuting, for example, the only variables to consider used to be traffic congestion and the parking situation at your destination. Now you have to monitor truck activity, plan a route that minimizes bridge usage, plan a route that actually still exists, factor in the gas consumption index since what is burnt might not be easily replaced, and then scrap it all and stay put since no commute is worth getting killed by a precision phosphorus bomb.
Another daily dilemma is how to budget your Gillette Super Turbo Mach 3's with gooey stuff. Shaving must become less frequent, but you have to make sure you don't let it go a day too long for the obvious reason that Olmert is too eager these days to show his people pictures of dead bearded men.
More on these issues in the coming days, but can someone please explain to me what the heck does a post-menopausal virgin know about birth pangs!

Angry Olmert Day 13
While the world's attention is divided between the border skirmishes and the diplomatic empty talk, I want to remind you of the plight of hundreds of thousands of Lebanese people.
Over half a million people have been left homeless by Olmert's war crimes. A lucky few are getting to sleep on the floor in overcrowded apartments. The grand majority have lost their homes and all their belongings overnight, courtesy of precision weapons which happen to accidently cause mass destruction, to find themselves in schoolyards and rat infested parks.
Then there are those who are stranded in many isolated villages in the south. They are told by the Israeli armed assassins to leave their homes, even though there are no ways in or out. If they do leave, they are met by the most technologically advanced, but not always legal, weaponry. Off course those are designed to annihilate everything in or around their path.
The peace-loving democracy-spreading rulers of the free world don't seem to be too keen on the idea of a ceasefire. Probably because it will lead to that alien and barbaric concept of "peaceful negotiations and resolutions." That only means the humanitarian catastrophe Lebanon is facing is due to worsen. The destruction of all ports and roads won't help much.
What I'm trying to get to is that we all need to get off our asses and help. We're gonna need to provide help today, tomorrow, and for a long time in the foreseeable future.

Angry Olmert Day 12
Day 12 of Olmert's killing campaign is in the books and still no military accomplishments to speak of. This is the point where you start making them up. These make believe scenarios have to be creative, captivating, and convincing. Recent examples of such practices can be seen in Bush's War on Terror. Remember when the CIA stopped a group of Haitians in Miami seconds before they punctured a Sears Tower voodoo doll? How about that junkie here in Clemenceau that was going to flood Manhattan in one of his LSD trips?
Ok, maybe make-believe war accomplishments don't have to be convincing but they must make for catchy headlines. So in an effort to help Olmert sell a "victory" to his people and so that he stops killing civilians left and right, I propose we compile a list of war trophy headlines that he can showcase in lieu of real accomplishments.
I'll get it started:
-Mossad Agents trim Nasrallah's Beard, Render him Powerless.
-Overdose of Eighties' War Songs Drive Lebanese Society Nuts.

Angry Olmert Day 11
Beirut is still relatively calm today. Most people think it's because of the American evacuations taking place these days. Whatever the reason for this lull is, I don't expect it to last especially with the lack of any military progress for Olmert's terrorist troops.
Lebanon has been taking a pounding for eleven days, but we still stand tall. Olmert tried to sever our knees, only to see us rise higher. Chopped our hands off and we reached further. Olmert stuck a dagger in our heart, but the heartbeat got stronger.
Yo Olmert, baffled huh? This isn't the Lebanon of 1982. It is not the Lebanon of 2000 either.
In 2006, Lebanon hears through your empty noise. Take out our eyes but you can't blind us.
To Olmert's credit though, he is realizing Lebanon won't break. He is moving to plan B.
If you can't fool the Lebanese, fool yourself. Kill more innocent civilians and tell your people you are finishing off Hezbollah. They'll believe you and hail you as a hero. Isn't that what you wanted in the first place?
Be careful what you wish for though, you might get the same heroic end as your master.

Angry Olmert Day 10
I've been out and about all day today and I haven't had time to write something up. I do have a question for Olmert though.
After killing over 300 Lebanese Civilians and destroying the infrastructure a country, what have you accomplished?
How much closer are you to the Goals you set up for your war?
... Thought So.
I'll leave you with a song tune that will be annoyingly stuck in your head and that you will be humming all night long. Sorry.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing,Uh-huh

Angry Olmert Day 9
Beirut has been calm today. Again that's not the case in the South where for the second day in a row Israel is attempting to advance on the ground. Ariel Sharon is still shitting himself, while his understudy is scratching his bald head looking for a way out of the "Lebanese Mud".
Olmert is discovering that even in the driest month of the year, Lebanon is as muddy as ever for his killing machine. The high ceiling he set for this bloody adventure on Day 1 is looking more unrealistic with every passing day. Instead Olmert is looking for any trophy photo op to save face. Until then expect a plethora of crimes against civilians and barrage of lies to cover them up.
Olmert's problem is that he failed to realize that no one can figure out Lebanon, not even the Lebanese understand Lebanon. Lebanon is and has always been a permanently PMSing female.Thinking that he had it all figured out and that he could manipulate this little country, he proceeded with his little killing campaign. Well, that arrogance is only gonna get him a swift kick in the balls.
Olmert is trying to tame the untamable. Well let's see his face when he finally concedes that his only way out is through negotiations. It won't be the face of someone stuck in Lebanese Mud; It'll be the face of someone absorbing the full force of a
Lebanese Khazouk

Angry Olmert Day 8
Beirut is relatively calm again. That is not the case with the other areas where it has been the fiercest since the beginning of the Israeli offensive against Lebanon. Olmert's killing machine is still doing a heck of job rooting out civilians on the run. Wait though, according to some Israeli propagandists who have infested the comments section of this blog, "There are no innocent civilians. Even the Babies are "terrorist" sympathizers."
Let's use this twisted logic for a second. Hezbollah earned about 400,000 nationwide in the last elections. Add to that the number of kids who apparently are fair game for the Israeli military targeting and you'll get about a million people.
So according to Olmert and buddies these one million people are legitimate killing prospects.
By this same logic, there is a consensus in Israel supporting this killing campaign. Again using Israeli logic, civilians with sympathy towards assassins are fair game for targeting. I repeat by Israeli logic, 4 to 5 million Israelis might be civilians but they are killer sympathizers. Definitely not innocent and should not be spared in this confrontation.
What do you think? Sounds Fair?
So my Israeli friends,
As angry and frustrated Olmert continues to cowardly kill civilians, I have no doubt you will find more creative ways to spin it and legitimize these killings. Go ahead convince yourselves that crushing a fleeing family is necessary for a safer Israel but believe me you are only fooling yourselves.

Angry Olmert Day 7
Today I toured a few of the shelters, well that's if you can call an open area with no roof and no place to sleep a shelter. I see a need for a relief effort coordination. I spoke to the supervisors in different sites, and while they are doing a great job running their sites there seems to be a lack of communication with other sites and relief organizations. So extra food in one site is not getting to places where they need food. The same goes for volunteers and other supplies.
Seeing how the relief effort will have to go on well after a possible ceasefire, coordination and long term planning is of utmost importance. So any people with ideas or resources to create such a coordination effort, please contact me or the different volunteer groups. We all can help, and we have to help for a long time as this is a humanitarian disaster that the whole world is happy to applaud. One thing I heard in all camps is that there is a shortage of medicine and a complete absence of the government. I'm sure the truckload of medicine that was liberated by an Israeli F-16 today in Zahle won't ease the situation. Also entertainers for kids are very important. They have a clown and a puppeteer alternating at one site, but just picture hundreds of kids bored and asking "Are we there yet?" simultaneously.
Now, what you'll find an excess of across every school, park, or any other make shift shelter you visit are high spirits. That'll surely make Olmert even angrier.

Angry Olmert Day 6
A cloud of smoke, dust, and death still fills the sky of Beirut. 200 have been murdered and hundreds more maimed by Olmert's killing machine. A lot of the villages in the south are running out of food and water. Israeli planes order those villagers to evacuate within an hour yet they shoot anything that moves. Who's the terrorist again?
Guess what though. The Lebanese are more determined, more united, and more defiant than ever. My sister, who wept uncontrollably the first night, now sleeps through the blasts even though they are getting louder and more frequent. We persevere.
I was watching highlights of La Fiesta de San Fermin. You have a 600 Kilogram Mad Bull taking on a 75 Kg Fighter. The animal comes out strutting his force running full speed across the ring. The animal attacks brutally anything that moves in front of it. The animal huffs and puffs. The crowd just watches and cheers. Some cheer on the animal, others cheer on the human. Then the animal is pinched. A little pinch that won't bring down this massive creature. It does hurt though and a hurt bull becomes angrier, madder. The animal charges with more vengeance this time. An impressive massive force charging towards skinny clowns whose balls are hanging out. The bull is poked a couple of more times. More pain means more madness. The animal now charges thinking it's going for the kill. 600 Kilograms of fury charging towards a target. The target is hit, no kill though. There was nothing there. The animal tries again, again no kill. Angry madness turns into Frustration. A frustrated animal charges, but it's running out of steam. The animal gets dizzy. The fighter grabs the bull by the horns. The bull is humiliated. The bull doesn't stop though. It doesn't think, it just attacks.
In the end the animal always dies and is dragged out in complete humiliation.
Lebanon doesn't die.

Angry Olmert Day 5
The Israeli propaganda machine is trying to paint this war as an Islamists war on Jews. Playing the anti-semitism card is always the way out for Israel when they have nothing else to legitimize their killing machine. Especially after their terrorism card stopped being effective considering the only terrorism being practiced currently is that of the Israeli Air Force on Millions of Lebanese civilians.
But let us look a little more into that claim.
Islamist resistance movements are only new comers to the picture. Long before Hezbollah and Hamas, Israeli oppression of Palestinians and Lebanese created many resistance movements. None of them were Islamist. The initial wave of resistance was leftist and secular. Israel's destruction of these movements aided the rise in Islamist movements. Israel preferred dealing with Islamists because waging a war on "religious wackos" would be an easier sell for their PR machine. The invasions of Lebanon in 1978 and 1982 were before Hezbollah even existed. Comatose Sharon's
claim to fame in Sabra and Shatila
was one of the reasons Hezbollah started appealing to the populace. That was in 1983 long after 1948 and 1967 when Islamism was nowhere to be found.
We can thank Israeli policy for the rise in religious fanaticism in the region as its racist oppressive strategy since 1948 brought this upon us.
So when Israeli missiles blow up a bus of fleeing civilians and their spokespeople claim that "religious anti-semitic wackos" were hiding under the bus, they are only trying to make their ethnic cleansing practices more acceptable to the western audience.
On to today's events, the sun is not visible in Beirut today, a cloud of smoke and dust fills the sky. The night was rough, the explosions are getting louder and more frequent. Personally, I got used to it and I slept through it. A lot of families are sleeping huddled in open areas in different areas of Beirut. Schools are packed with people left homeless by Olmert's war. Olmert is trying to earn his stripes. Right now the only stripes he has earned are of a frustrated killer.
Hezbollah hit Haifa's port, oil refinery, and train station this morning, so expect Israel to retaliate by bombing another bus full of fleeing families since they already bombed all of our ports and oil refineries.
More later...

Angry Olmert Day 4.5
Right now we can feel the escalation. While the night was calm, the day has been anything but.
The streets of Beirut are emptier than yesterday at this time. Most people are starting to prepare for a long term confrontation. No one handles a psychological war like the Lebanese people. Civilians have been hit hard. Bombs are getting bigger and louder. At the pace this thing is going, a long term confrontation would mean regional involvement. I still think the US would not allow this conflict to spillover to Syria and Iran.
Olmert's bet on a sectarian uprising or infighting breaking out and taking care of Hezbollah for them seems less likely to materialize with each passing air raid. We're divided and we hate each other, but one thing that brings all together is the Israeli war machine. Most of us have felt their crimes first hand and memories die hard. Others still hold grudges against Israel for using them and then leaving them out to dry. Hezbollah will have to answer a few questions when all is said and done, but we will not do Israel's dirty work. We're not that dumb.
Beirut Port being hit hard, I just heard about 10 blasts.
More Later...
Angry Olmert Day 4
I'll take time to address some of the issues that come up in the comments section of this blog. I'd like to thank all those participating. As a firm believer in free speech and exchange of opinions (and negotiations to resolve conflict for that matter), I appreciate those of you taking time to share your views without calling me or others monkeys.
First Issue: The State of Israel is a racist entity. For those of you trying to argue that it's less racist than Saudi Arabia I say nice choice of a role model. I don't think that's who you should be aspiring to emulate, but that's just me. To those calling me a hypocrite for only seeing Israel's faults, I refer you to the archives of this blog where you'll find plenty of criticism of what's wrong in Lebanon. I've been venting for a year about Lebanon while I'm just getting started on Israel so stay tuned for a lot of "surprises". More later.
As for today's killing campaign. Reports just in say that 12 civilians fleeing their village in the South were killed by missiles fired from an F-16. So Hezbollah last night dealt another blow to the Israeli Military by destroying one of its warships, Israel retaliates by killing defenselesss civilians. Nice use of the superior military machine.
Right now things seem to be heading towards a prolonged confrontation. Olmert promised a lot of things he can't fulfill which has him looking for a way to end this in way he could save face. The only thing he can brag about is wide destruction and killing of tens of civilian.
I just heard a loud explosion. Last night was relatively calm in Beirut which was good for catching up on sleep after a few sleepless nights. These 4 days have been exhausting which makes you feel for the people of Gaza who've been suffering this treatment for weeks. Well more like years. The goal is submission, but no human being likes to be bullied. There goes another loud explosion
Again I renew my earlier assertion to Rambo Olmert. You can negotiate today, or you can negotiate in a week, or you can negotiate in 3 months. In the end that's your only choice.
Friday, July 14, 2006
Angry Olmert Day 3
So Olmert woke me up at 3 am, made my mom freak out, made my sister weep uncontrollably, made me take a cold shower with no water pressure this morning, and he expects me to support his effort to eradicate Hezbollah.
But let's talk about Peace.
I've noticed a high number of Israelis on Lebanese blogs these days claiming they want peace. They say we deserve what we are getting for supporting a violent group like Hezbollah.
Oh really! When was the last time the Israelis elected a non-violent government? When was the last time Israelis elected someone who is willing to make the necessary concessions for a FAIR peace deal? When was the last time they chose someone who's willing to stand against the numerous oppresive racist practices against the Palestinians?
You don't want peace. You want your own version of imposed peace on submissive dogs.
Show me an Israeli politician with a fair peace plan, someone who's not a racist oppressive pig, and I'll be first in line to shake his hand.
But as long as your are willing to to punish millions of civillians because someone is willing to stand up to your successive governments' injustices, you will never have peace. WE will never have peace.

أعذر من أنذر
This is a leaflet dropped earlier tonight. It Basically reads:
Duck Motherfuckers!!!
Signed: State of Israel.
Angry Olmert Day 2
It's seems my analytical opinion on the situation as of last night was seen as an endorsement and pissed off some people. Oh well, your problem not mine.
Anyways, this morning I woke up to the noise of a different kind of fireworks. I think it was a combination of F-16s with punctured exhaust pipes and Soviet-made anti-aircraft artillery.
Last night I said I expected Israel to "punish" and then retreat to avoid escalation and Hezbollah fire power.
(Sorry I need a break , I see a 5 month-old-baby's charred body on Future TV right now.)
Olmert disagrees with me and thinks he should kill, burn 5 month-old-baby-terrorists, kill some more, and then face the inevitable negotiations.
I still think there will be no further escalations and a cease-fire agreement will be reached soon.Olmert needed to show he's not too kind, as if there was a danger of that, but now what?
Olmert can choose to annihilate Hezbollah completely. That would involve a major regional war that I don't think Israel is ready for or that the world community would allow. So that leaves Olmert with the only the choice of when to stop the killing and start the negotiations. Do it today with 30 civillians dead already, or do it next week with 300 dead.
I'm afraid 300 might be the number closer to quenching his blood thirst.

We're All Hezbollah
Whether we like it or not.
I woke up today thinking Barazil beat Luxemburg or some other soccer power with all the fireworks and honking I heard. It turns out it was something much less important.
Hezbollah did something this morning they've been promising to do for years, yet it caught millions of people by surprise.
Israel, expectedly after a huge military and moral blow, retaliated strongly by air and by sea.
Olmert is promising more hell, but I think it's just hot air.
Hezbollah did their thing in the morning and and then sat back and watched . Israel hit roads and nothing else.
Because any further escalation would give Hezbollah the right (per the April 1996 Agreement) to hit back.
Power station for power station. Tourist season for Tourist Season.
Israel knows Hezbollah rockets are in place, ready, aimed and can reach deep into Israel. 15,000 of them. And that's even before the "surprise".
Israel had to retaliate. No way they could let an act of aggression by Hezbollah go "unpunished." So they barked, hit roads, and killed civilians. In the end they will sit down and negotiate.
Hezbollah acted unilaterally and they will get some criticism for it in Lebanon, especially for endangering the precious tourist season. However, regionally they got millions of admirers for being the only group in the world to do something about the rape of Gaza. Sure, Nasrallah insists today was all about Lebanon and Lebanese POWs, but who is he kidding.
It wasn't and there is no shame in that.
At the end of the day Hezbollah proves they are strong, very strong actually, and Israel is not used to dealing with a strong foe.
Reel in the F-16s and start the negotiations, there just is no other option.
Your North, My South
I will hold out until later tonight for a full reading on today's border situation.
But I expect things to calm down tonight.
Feel free to vent here.

40 Days til the World Cup!
Well, technically it's the
World Championship
. Lebanon plays in the inaugural game against my country of birth, but I doubt the excitement level in the streets of Beirut on that day will match that of the day Ba Ra Zil played Croatia in a dull game decided by a fortunate kick by a dude named Doodoo.
Personally, I think 2 wins in the group stage should be our goal. Then again I spoke with a member of the National Team a couple of weeks ago and they hadn't even began their headbutting drills. They seem to be taking the Brazil approach of just showing up obese and hoping to win it all.
Former President Hrawi passed away. He'll be remembered for kissing Claudia Schiffer and signing off on cute little 39% annual interest government loans.
Also, I was watching a really funny show on TV earlier with a cute old man who looks to be on his 9th wife and/or heart attack interviewing a cute caring country couple. As I watched I happened to see this cute little news item roll on the screen.
"Israel continues Gaza search for kidnapped soldier."
A cute little game of Hide n' Seek is all it is.

You Son of a...
A son of a martyr has been going at it with another son of a martyr in a war of words and accusations that has prompted one son of a martyr to sue the other son of a martyr for defamation.
One of these sons of martyrs has been busy pissing people off as his attack on a bishop pushed a son of a martyr, who's starting to fill in for his mom the widow of a martyr, to meet with a couple of brothers of martyrs amongst others to denounce the son of a martyr.
On another front, a previously mentioned son of a martyr had some delicious sesame covered cookies from Damascus with another son of a martyr. This was seen as a first step for reconciliation between the sons of martyrs and those who allegedly made them sons of martyrs. The power of Sesame opens doors again, just like in the fable.
If you adjust the title of that fable for population growth, how many thieves would we have today?
I am afraid not even 40 Ali Babas can do the job.

LightSwitch Tutorial on Data Design
LightSwitch uses an entity model to describe the data design. Folks with relational database experience need to understand how an entity model differs from a relational model. Folks with little or no database experience tend to design databases that look more like an Excel spreadsheet than a decent data design. This tutorial is intended to address both of these issues.
For Relational Database Folks
When you create your data model in LightSwitch, you are working with an entity model. LightSwitch and the Entity Framework work in the background to store the data in a relational database.
Those familiar with relational databases and relational models need to understand how they differ from entity models. This set of videos is designed to highlight the differences so that the relational database person can feel comfortable working with entity models.
For Non-Database Folks
You are a business domain expert and do not have training in designing a database. LightSwitch can help you with this task. However, there are a few basic concepts that you need to understand in order to minimize redundancy and keep data consistent.
This set of videos is designed to help you understand where you might go wrong and provides direction on avoiding the main design problems that can creep into a design. It is really important that you understand the issues covered in this tutorial and avoid them through careful design.
Enjoy … bill

So for nearly two years I've been doing this "ABC's of Dining" in Cincinnati and working through the alphabet having you vote on where I should go. It's taken a lot longer than I thought - but it's not always easy to go to a specific place on a schedule...that said - I finally got to the letter T! (Poll for Letter U is at the bottom!)
Thai Taste in Cheviot was the winner for the letter T - it sounds like it's one of the only Thai places on that side of town - but with a 94% "like" rating on Urbanspoon - it must be pretty good too.
It's definitely hidden on a little side street (Crookshank) that I couldn't get back to if I tried!
There were 5 of us and everybody else got Thai food and they all thought it was pretty good. I had rice the night before so I decided to go for sushi. No recollection of the rolls I got - they all kind of run together - I think there was shrimp tempura (left) and a dragon roll maybe (bottom right).
Why Should You Go? If you live on the West side and are hankerin' for some Thai - this is a great option. It's small and hidden but the service is great, the food is good and the prices aren't too bad either. They used to be BYOB but they now have their liquor license - so don't bring your own!
The poll tool isn't working right on the left - so leave me a comment about where I should go for the letter U - there aren't a lot of choices:
- Uncle Yips - Sharonville
- Uncle T's - Owensville
- Union Centre Pancake - West Chester
- US Chili - Price Hill
Thanks for helping me out!

International News 16% of New HIV Cases in Canada in 2005 Linked to Immigrants, Report SaysJuly 21, 2008 About 16% of all new HIV cases reported in Canada in 2005 were linked to immigrants from countries where HIV is prevalent, according to a report recently released by the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, the CP/Toronto Star reports. According to the study, immigrants make up 1.5% of Canada's population. The figures mean the HIV incidence among immigrants from HIV-endemic countries, or people connected with them, was almost 13 times higher in 2005 than for Canadians, according to the CP/Star.

When you look in the mirror and you are faced with a dull and dry flaky skin, it may be time to look at doing some exfoliation to get rid of dead cells clogging up the top layer of skin to bring the hidden more youthful looking skin to the top.
Younger people with skin problems should take care not to over-exfoliate, as we have found that those suffering from skin problems think that daily exfoliating or scrubbing every three or four days, will help to rid their skin from impurities.
That is unfortunately not true, and over-exfoliating or scrubbing can aggravate the problem instead or alleviating it, since the skin is irritated instead of being assisted along to help heal itself.
So - people with a problem skin can exfoliate, but gently and not too often, and if in doubt, please consult your licensed medical practitioner and/or dermatologist.
But for those amongst us that are fighting the aging battle (and for those not yet there) exfoliation of the skin, helps with blood circulation and the removal of the dead skin cells that can cause it to look dull and dry. Exfoliating can be done every 14 days, and in some cases weekly.
Although there are various commercial scrubs on the market, we have found that the following home made scrub is most invigorating to the skin, leaving it rosy and keenly healthy.
Take 2 - 3 teaspoons raw oats (not the pre-cooked type) and crush into smaller bits either by hand or in a grinder. Mix the dry oats with pure honey and 1/4 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar until it forms a smooth mixture. Add more honey as needed. Then add 1 drop of basil oil to the mixture.
For a problem skin, you can replace the basil oil with tea tree oil to help the healing process along.
After washing the face and drying it gently by patting with a towel, apply this sticky mixture in gentle circular movements. Avoid the eye area. Leave the mixture on for about 15 minutes and wash off with lots of tepid water.
Although it is a messy skin treatment to perform, the results are excellent and it costs only pennies to make.

This paper examines the problem of rationalizability of a choice system without imposing restrictions on the universal set of alternatives and the family of feasible sets. A choice system is the probabilistic counterpart of a choice function which is basic to much of the theory of individual choice behaviour in economics. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a choice system to be induced by a probability measure on a set of utility functions.

If you saw Ricky Gervais' widely panned tour this year you will have watched, as part of the show's opening sequence, the burly ginger American comic Louis CK deliver a recorded plea for certain bodily fluids to keep Gervais alive. While the skit was indicative of the base notes of Gervais' show, it was totally unrepresentative of CK's talents, much in evidence at this London show.
CK (born Szekely), a friend of Gervais and his co-star in The Invention of Lying, has plied his trade for nearly a quarter of a century in the US, but in the last few years has hit his stride with an Emmy-nominated stand-up special. While HBO didn't run his sitcom, Lucky Louie, past the first season, he has a new show on FX next year and a healthy international fanbase to boot.
Tonight his UK fans warmed to his US sensibilities, from his disdain for whiny, white, middle-class trash who let "words secrete out of their heads" to his amusement toward antsy passengers on planes. CK depicts both sets of irritants through effective vocal caricatures and apposite wordcraft.
CK's biggest gift, however, is the ability to pitch his musings at such a level as to make his audience feel they are part of a discussion. This is achieved in part thanks to the integral honesty of his act; he moans about moaners and he knows that he's not blameless on that score. He's under no illusions about his own shortcomings, particularly so when it comes to his parenting skills. He elicits "ahhs" when he describes how one of his daughters described birds as "paintbrushes that make patterns in the sky" and then guffaws as his put-upon dad persona threatens to illustrate their mortality in front of her.
An earlier routine about the death of the family dog is echoed here, in which CK describes buying a puppy as a sign that "we are all going to cry soon". Fleeting happiness is all that we can expect is the message, but it's never delivered in a way that seems malign. In fact, CK wears a natural, benign smile throughout his act, happy to accept his lot in life the way, he says, New York accepts the homeless as inevitable.
Uncompromising in the most pragmatic way, no quarter was asked of CK by his audience and none was given. While it could not exactly be considered as wholesome, it was as complete a night of comedy as you could want.

Europe will receive nearly infallible weather data and save almost $7 billion in weather-related damage annually thanks to this trio of bus-sized spacecraft. This is what the atmosphere will look like in HD.
The MetOp-B satellite, which launched on Monday (local time), is part of a $4 billion joint venture between the European Space Agency and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). The program is also coordinating with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) so that MetOp and similar NOAA satellites can maximise their orbital coverage.
The three MetOp satellites are nearly identical. They weigh slightly more than 4000kg and measure 17.6m × 6.5m × 5.2m with their solar panels fully extended, making them the second largest Earth-observation satellite produced by the Europeans. They will each travel a 820km polar low Earth orbital trajectory during each of their five-year operations. The individual MetOp satellites are not in orbit together but are instead being launched in five-year increments. MetOp-A launched back in 2006, Met-Op-B launched on Monday from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, and MetOp-C is expected to launch some time between 2016 and 2018.
Each MetOp is packed with sensors from Europe, the US, Canada and France that are designed to monitor everything from atmospheric humidity to wind speeds over the ocean to levels of ozone and solar activity. It shares eight instruments with its partner NOAA satellites, including microwave sounding units, very high-resolution radiometers, a search and rescue processor/repeater and a high-resolution infrared radiation sensor. It also carries an Advanced Scatterometer, the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment, and the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer, the most accurate infrared sounding interferometer currently in orbit. It can scan the atmosphere and measure the temperature and humidity to within 1C and relative 10 per cent respectively for every horizontal kilometre of the air column. "These crucial instruments will be used for weather forecasting and to help us all gain a better understanding of the Earth's systems," said Gene Martin, POES Project instrument manager.
The IASI also produces half of all the program's data, which is processed and stored in on-board SSDs until the 2GB of data can be downloaded at the end of every orbit. It transmits to either McMurdo ground station in Antarctica or the Svalbard Satellite Station in Norway via an X-band antenna. From there, data is transmitted to the EUMETSAT headquarters in Germany where it is published and disseminated to researchers around the globe. In all, the MetOp system provides these climate measurements with a lag of just one hour.
All this near real-time data has revolutionised Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), which essentially applies statistics and mathematical models to massive data sets of atmospheric information. Researchers can now study high-resolution measurements of the entire Earth's atmospheric structure in terms of temperature and humidity as well as its chemical composition. In addition, all this data can also be used as a massive, long-term log for climate change studies. As Alain Ratier, EUMETSAT director general, explains, "Our ability to make accurate weather forecasts is vital to Europe. More than a third of our industry is weather dependent."

You know him as one pissed-off Ghost of Sparta, but you haven't seen him overcome anything like this: the art…of cooking!
"He is a dark horse in this race to see who is the Next Iron Chef," says Chairman Mark Dacascos in a dramatic fashion. "He defeated Zeus, but can he defeat…A RIBEYE???"
Kratos sees his entry a bit differently, "Even if I don't have all the techniques of the other chefs, I'm the only one with the experience of killing mass amounts of people and gods. And naturally, I can make a killer gyro."
Despite his confidence, Kratos' past might still haunt him.
"The ashes of his wife and daughter on his skin might pose a sanitation issue, but who knows? It might be like black truffle and just make everything taste better," chimed in Alton Brown.
One anonymous competitor refuses to see the positive side of Kratos' participation, "I just hope that I'm not standing next to him when we cook. I've seen him try to cut carrots with his double-chain-thingy while screaming vengeance. It does not put me at ease, to say the least."
But there are supporters among Kratos' foes, like Rachel Ray, "He's bald, sexy, and I'm pretty sure that he's single. Besides, I have a weakness for men that only wear loincloths. You just don't see enough of that these days."
A rumored no-longer-a-surprise ending of Kratos finding out that the Chairman is his TRUE real father should rank among the highest rated episodes, and whatever the opinions may be of Kratos, this season's The Next Iron Chef is surely going to be full of surprises.

HEALTHWATCH: New Hope for Dialysis: Bioengineered Blood Vessels
DURHAM, N.C. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Nearly 400-thousand Americans are on dialysis for kidney failure. The treatment uses a special machine to filter toxins from the blood and often requires a graft to connect an artery to a vein to speed blood flow. But in many patients, synthetic grafts lead to infection and frequent hospitalizations. Now a first of its kind bioengineered blood vessel is changing that.
William Alexander has suffered with kidney failure for 15 years. Dialysis keeps him alive.
"[It's not] like you can't do it," Alexander told Ivanhoe. "You've got to have dialysis to live."
However, his arm tells the story of failed blood vessel grafts used to help clean his blood.
"It's disfiguring," Jeffrey Lawson, MD, PhD, Professor of Vascular Surgery and Pathology at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C., told Ivanhoe.
It's a reality Dr. Lawson says most patients face.
"I tell many of my patients they can expect to have a procedure related to dialysis at least once a year," Dr. Lawson explained.
Now, a new bioengineered blood vessel using donated human cells could change that.
"We'll be able to reduce the number of interventions they have to have," Dr. Lawson said.
At the lab, Dr. Shannon Dahl says donated cells are placed in a bioreactor and cultured for two months.
"So we're growing the cells and we're putting the bioreactor parts together," Shannon L.M. Dahl, PhD, Vice-President, Scientific Operations, cofounder, Humacyte, Inc., Durham, N.C., told Ivanhoe.
Once the vessel is formed, it's cleansed of the donor cells, leaving a collagen structure that the body readily accepts as its own.
"It then becomes your blood vessel as your body grows into it, which is very, very exciting," Dr. Dahl explained.
Alexander had the bioengineered vessel placed in his right arm eight months ago.
"I don't have any trouble and it's doing good, and I'm glad it's doing good," Alexander said.

I bought an airbed from Outdoor Leisure Direct which kept deflating. I returned it, at a cost of £5.99 and asked for a refund. The company had the airbed tested and it was found to be 'operating below its normal parameters'. Faulty then! However, I was only offered a replacement. I wanted a refund. I would have got one if I had purchased a faulty product from,say, Argos or ASDA. This company wouldn't budge so I opened a case through ebay who found in my favour and I received a full refund. I would urge anyone with a similar issue to do the same. Ebay dealt with my case with courtesy and speed. This company should state clearly that they do not give refunds for faulty goods. They receive good reviews when people receive goods which are fine , which I guess is the case most of the time but they need to improve the way they deal with these kinds of issues.Oh, and although they indicated that they would refund my return costs, they then refused to do so. USE ANOTHER SELLER!!!

Accomplished Poet Phil Rizzuto Dies at 89
The Yankees shortstop was also the creator of fine found poetry, thanks to a 1993 book.
Plenty of news and sports outlets are covering the death of Yankees shortstop and broadcaster Phil Rizzuto, but surprisingly few have mentioned his short but spectacular career as a poet. In 1993, Tom Peyer and Hart Seely assembled O Holy Cow! The Selected Verse of Phil Rizzuto, creating found poetry out of Rizzuto's broadcasting bons mots. We impulse-purchased the book in college solely to annoy our poet friend who always complained about publishing's abandonment of serious verse, but grew to love the wisdom of the great Scooter Rizzuto. In memoriam:
Reversal of Opinion
And he hits one in the hole
They're gonna have to hurry.
They got him.
How do you like that.
Holy cow.
I changed my mind before he got there.
So that doesn't count as an error.July 10, 1992, Seattle at New York, first inning

Video: Understanding the Narrative Lectionary: Walk Through the Four Year Reading Cycle
The Narrative Lectionary is a four-year cycle of readings. On the Sundays from September through May each year the texts follow the sweep of the biblical story, from Creation through the early Christian church.
The texts show the breadth and variety of voices within Scripture. They invite people to hear the stories of Abraham and Sarah, Moses and the prophets, Jesus, and Paul. Listening to the many different voices within Scripture enriches preaching and the life of faith.
It's free. You don't have to pay a nickel for any of the following resources. (Thanks, Luther Seminary!)
Here's what you need to get started:
That's it! And, of course, if you want more details about the how and why, read the FAQ below.
The texts include the major episodes in Scripture. They are arranged in a narrative sequence to help people see Scripture as a story that has coherence and a dynamic movement.:
Download the four-year overview (rev. 10/26/16) or one of the following schedules:
Access this week's commentary and podcast at www.narrativelectionary.org.
Texts were selected that lead well to the proclamation of what God is doing. The stories tell of hope and disappointment, suffering and redemption. In all these varied contexts, we find God dealing with the complexities of human life. Stories from the gospels differ each year, avoiding repetition and highlighting what is distinctive about each gospel's telling of the story of Jesus.
The Church Year helped to shape the flow of the Narrative Lectionary. Old Testament readings move through the story of God's dealings with Israel and culminate in Advent with the prophets who speak of longing and hope. Readings from the gospels fit the movement from Christmas and Epiphany to the Transfiguration, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week and Easter. Selections from the book of Acts and Paul's letters trace the outward movement of the resurrection message, culminating on Pentecost with readings focusing on the Spirit.
When the primary text is not from a Gospel, there is an accompanying Gospel text suggested. So during the fall when the primary readings are taken from the Old Testament, and in the spring when primary readings come from the Epistles, a Gospel reading is provided in the schedule. When the primary reading is from the Gospel, the accompanying reading is taken from the Psalms.
Many churches find it helpful to read only one lesson each Sunday — Old Testament texts in the fall and New Testament texts from Christmas through Pentecost. Others want a reading from the Gospels during the fall, even though the Old Testament is the main preaching text. To make that possible, brief passages from the Gospels are chosen to accompany (but not to replace) the Old Testament readings in the fall for congregations that find that helpful. In the winter and spring, accompanying texts are taken from the Psalms. We encourage congregations to involve their worship planning team and musicians in the narrative lectionary; download and share the worship resources for 2016-2017 (rev. 8/30/16), including prayers for the day, hymn suggestions and choral selections.
Summer is the perfect time to delve deeper into the Bible with a sermon series. For Summer 2017 (June 11 - Sept. 3, 2017), we designed four sermon series on Psalms (5 weeks); Ephesians (4 weeks); and your choice of either the Sacraments (4 weeks) or Revelation (4 weeks). Commentaries and podcasts will be posted at least a month in advance of the preaching dates.

In previous summers, we've provided multi-week preaching series on the following topics:
Or you can always switch back to the Revised Common Lectionary for the summer months.
The Narrative Lectionary was initiated by Profs. Rolf Jacobson and Craig Koester of Luther Seminary, in partnership with congregations across North America. The experiment began in 2010 and continues to grow.
Though the Revised Common Lectionary has united the church in its reading of scripture and has given much-needed structure, it doesn't present scripture -- especially the Old Testament -- in a way that helps people to become fluent in the first language of faith. The Narrative Lectionary is an attempt to take nine months to do just that.
The more you surround yourself with others using these readings over the next 9 months, the better. Have your church council approve it, so that it can become a congregational project, not just the pastor's initiative. Get your text study group to decide to use it, so that the communal exploration of scripture can continue during the year.
No. But, we'd like to have a sense of how many people are involved, and also have a list of congregations using it so we can get feedback, collect resources and ideas, and connect congregations. If you have questions, insights or suggestions, please send them to email@example.com.
Also, please sign up to receive free Narrative Lectionary resources and updates from Luther Seminary. When you sign up, you'll receive a link to download the 2015-2016 Narrative Lectionary brochure for free. You'll also be notified when events and resources related to the narrative lectionary are available.
There is a Narrative Lectionary Facebook group available at https://www.facebook.com/groups/NarrativeLectionary/ where you can discuss with other Narrative Lectionary practitioners. Follow the link and click "Join group" in the upper right-hand corner to be added.
If you're involving your worship planning team (and musicians) in the narrative lectionary, make sure you download and share the 2016-2017 worship resources (rev. 10/26/16).
Interest in the Narrative Lectionary continues to grow! As congregations and others develop additional worship resources and educational materials to fit the flow of readings, ideas can be shared, so that the biblical story becomes a more vital part of the life of faith for those we serve.
If you have any questions about the narrative lectionary, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'd love to hear from you!

There is no reason why your actual home shouldn't reflect the home of your dreams. There are ways to improve and modernise your living environment without breaking the bank. Here are a few helpful tips on decorating your home.
The Bedroom.
Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, where you go to relax. Your bedroom is your own, your precious space, so this should be decorated in way that you are passionate about. It goes without saying that this room should be comfortable and by just adding a few soft items here and there, you can achieve a 5 star hotel ambience. First of all you need to choose your bed linen. Consider the colour, material and size and make sure it doesn't clash with your current interior decor. For a refreshing room use turquoise, lime and yellow bed clothing, or evoke passion with rouge, aubergine and rose. A quick and easy change is achievable as there are many different types of bed-linens available that aren't very expensive.
The Lounge & Dining Area.
These two rooms will be the ones you use the most for entertaining guests, so you need to create a welcoming aura with an extra touch of class. The lounge is easily made into a friendly paradise by simply adding cushions for extra comfort. Throws are a fabulous addition to your living room; not only do they create a warm atmosphere, they protect your furniture from spillage, as we all know how hard it is to remove a red wine stain – no one needs to know that is why you're using them!
The dining area should remain classy, simple and elegant, with muted tones and a limited colour pallet. Create an enchanting atmosphere with candles and add a little bit of brightness with metallic place mats. A cheap, simple, cream coloured table cloth with subtle embroidery is the perfect addition to really enhance your dining experience.
As the one place in the home where you can truly be alone, this should be the place where you give yourself ultimate 'you' time. A divine ambience of heavenly relaxation is easily created by simply adding fluffy new towels – cream works especially well for making your own spa-like paradise. A cheap bathroom rack is all you need for organising your shampoo, bubble bath and other products. Mirrors are a perfect way to give the illusion of space, especially if you have a small bathroom. There are many styles available on a budget, including oval, circular, rectangular or framed in a vintage style.
Consider 'You'.
Creating your perfect home doesn't have to bankrupt you. Consider your desired theme, budget and which rooms are the most important to you, then decorate them to your tastes. Cheap homewares are available; you just need to know where to look and know what you're searching for. Remember, your home should reflect your personality and you don't have to completely redecorate to modernise your home.
AUTHOR BIO: Anna Mathews is a seasoned homeware writer and writes for an array of lifestyle and interior design websites. She loves to search for cheap homewares that really bring your home to life, such as the items found on maha home. Anna has been writing for print and online media for over 10 years.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Toppling UNF Government, PA's sole focus - Batty Weerakoon[TamilNet, Sunday, 08 June 2003, 00:11 GMT]"People's Alliance (PA) of President Chandrika Kumaratunge does not have alternate policies for responding to issues of national importance. Instead PA is expending its energy in planning to topple the current United National Front (UNF) government of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe," said Batty Weerakoon, Leader of leftist Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP), speaking at a meeting of Civil Service Union in Colombo Thursday, local reports said. "Instead coming to an understanding with the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) to create a coalition capable of toppling the UNF governement seems to have taken a higher priority. PA does not even seem to know difference between toppling and defeating the UNF government. "Attempting to topple the ruling government will only result in consolidating the power of Wickremesinghe. Instead PA should work towards defeating the party in power on the strength of articulating alternative policies to improve the economic and social well-being of the people of this country," added Mr. Weerakoon. |

Jet Boil Stove
I can't really add a whole lot to a large bank of reviews that people have come up with for the jetpoil pcs system. I think it'd be best to give the profile of a person who should consider the system.
1. Doesn't mind the "jail cell" you've put yourself in with canister based stoves. You're stuck with canisters, not the utility of multiple fuel type stoves. Kinda puts you in a bind if you're going overseas.
2. You LOVE the complete simplicity of canister based stoves. NO thinking, just catch it on fire and cook.
3. Likes to use ready made food, mostly dehydrated based food. That being said, still works with regular food (pancakes, meat, that kind of thing).
4. Loves accessories. Jetboil puts out a ton of them. Most of them are pretty well thought out and are good for what they're made for. Plus they all back into the stove itself. Pretty awesome!
Good stove, fairly light weight, but kinda pigeon holes you in a "fast packer" group.

BB not connecting to wifi! Hi, I recently got my bb curve 8520 from a friend, I unlocked it from a rogers phone so it worked with fido (the company i'm currently with). But for some reason now it wont connect to any wifi. It used to work for her all the time! I tried it with her wifi and it didn't work, I figured her wifi was just being weird, but now it wont work with mine either. I was wondering if some one could send me step by step instructions on how to fix this, or if anyone has had these problems before?! Help! |
Re: BB not connecting to wifi! Do you have an active BlackBerry Data Plan for the device? |
Try going to fido's website and downloading the latest OS from them (on your PC) and back up your data, using the USB Cable, using desktop manager. Then install the OS to your BB If that still doesn't work, PM me for an easy workaround Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |

Breakfast for dinner? Oh yeah. Sourdough, ham, cheese and egg. And yes, that's a Lightning McQueen plate, thank you very much.

Snooze for breakfast.
I am now a big fan of Snooze. I had the Sweet Potato Pancakes and a side of bacon with coffee. Sounds pretty standard right? WRONG!!! So not standard. The butter on top had the slightest hint on rosemary which was the perfect match for the pancakes. the bacon was really smokey, almost like I smoked it myself. The service was top notch and the atmosphere was great as well. I cant wait to take my wife to this place I think she'll dig it. Next time I have got to try the corned beef hash and eggs.Let's go right now, seriously it's that good. Just an awesome way to start your day - Shannon

Better Weather for Grilling on the Big Green Egg
My little trick for ribs is to dry rub them then put them in a long Food Saver bag, vacuum out the air so it pulls all the seasonings into the meat. Then put it back in the fridge for about eight hours.
I prefer a water bath under the ribs to make them extra moist. Try throwing orange peels in the water to add a little flavor.
This chicken kicked ass, I brined it for about 8 hours. I used a pretty standard brine recipe but added 5 spice and I used honey instead of sugar. Then before throwing it on the grill I violated it with a tangerine and and a half an onion. May have been the best I have ever made.
big green egg,

Dell Sues 'Demoted' Asia Executive to Stop Him Joining HP
Andrea TanDell Inc., the second-largest computer-server maker, asked a Singapore court to bar its former Asia enterprise market vice president from joining Hewlett-Packard Co., the industry leader.
Philip Anders Davis would be breaching agreements including not to solicit customers and employees for one year after quitting, Dell said in its lawsuit filed last month at the Singapore High Court. Davis replied in court papers that the agreement is an unlawful restraint of trade and isn't binding.
Hewlett-Packard, which isn't a party to the dispute, has its own strategies and isn't interested in any confidential information of Dell's that Davis may have, it told the court. Davis, 47, said he feared for his job security after being demoted twice at Dell. A trial is scheduled to start Oct. 14, after the case delayed Davis's hiring from a previously announced July 7.
Dell said in an e-mailed statement today it would seek to enforce its rights. Davis said through his lawyer Pradeep Pillai that he looked forward to being vindicated by the court. Hewlett-Packard's external spokesman Jimmy Szczepanek declined to comment.
Davis said in court filings he had been demoted for a second time in February and that Dell had "numerous and frequent organizational upheavals."
Davis wasn't demoted as he had claimed, according to Dell, which is headquartered in Round Rock, Texas. He was one of 70 employees worldwide to be awarded a special retention payout and his loss to a direct competitor "would severely cripple its efforts" in parts of the industry, Dell said.
Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard said it wants to employ Davis for his sales and leadership skills.
The case is Dell Global B.V. (Singapore branch) v Philip Anders Davis, S618/2014. Singapore High Court

Judges in Finland and Sweden have given Microsoft Corp. what it has twice been denied in the U.S.: preliminary injunctions barring Linux vendor Lindows.com Inc. from using the Lindows name.
Microsoft sued Lindows.com in the U.S. in December 2001, accusing the company of infringing its Windows trademark and asking the court to bar Lindows.com from using the Lindows name. The company lost two requests for an injunction and the matter is now for a jury to decide in a trial set to start March 1, 2004.

Two girls hanging out turns into a sexy sleepover
A steady thumping in my chest rocked my entire body with each beat. My hands had become covered with sweat, and my forehead was growing hotter with each passing moment. I tried to focus on the movie playing in front of me, but my mind could not wrap itself around the plotline. My thoughts were too far gone to attempt to pay attention to even what was dubbed the best action movie of the year.
I was thankful that it was dark in the theatre; in broad daylight my nervousness would have been so much more apparent. At least in the back of the large dark room no one would be looking at me, except perhaps the girl sitting next to me. I had only known her a month, yet I felt like I had spent my entire life getting to know her. She was the picture of beauty in my eyes: long light brown hair, hazel eyes, and thin pink lips painted with clear shiny lip gloss positioned perfectly on her pale face. Compared to her, even I looked like I had some sort of tan on my complexion. My lips were thick and painted a dark and shiny magenta, so different from hers. I fantasized briefly how her small mouth would feel puckered and touching mine…
As soon as the thought entered my head, I quickly pushed it out. I didn't even know if she was interested in girls, let alone a girl like me. We were only here together because we didn't want to see this movie alone and had no other friends with the same interest in it as we did. I was merely her companion today, nothing more. Even with that knowledge, I couldn't help but want to dress up in a red sundress covered in large pink roses with a saddle colored woven belt around my waist. Like every other day, I covered my eyelids with pink shadow and brown eyeliner, lining my waterline as well. My cheeks had a rosy tint to them already, so I didn't bother with blush.
I snuck a glance at her again. All I could see on her pretty face besides her lip gloss was black mascara on her beautiful eyes. She didn't need anything more; her face belonged on the cover of Teen Vogue with or without makeup. She was so lucky. I noticed many a guy looking at her when we walked in. She didn't give any of them the time of day, although I caught her smiling nervously as we walked to our seats. Liked me, she preferred sitting in the very back so that no feet would be kicking at our seats. The rows were separated far enough apart that even the tallest man sitting in front of us would not have posed any issue.
I didn't even notice the end of the movie when the end credits began to roll on the screen. I stood up, grabbing my small purse and putting it on my shoulder.
"What did you think of it Valerie?" she asked, her voice sounding like wind chimes.
"Great ending to the series," I said, keeping vague in case I missed a crucial detail.
"Agreed. Too bad there isn't another to look forward to though." She pouted.
"Aw, don't be too sad about it Lilly." I smiled at her brightly, hoping she wouldn't see the anxiety in my eyes. I had to watch what I said, or my flirts would become too obvious.
"You're right; it's just a movie," she replied, nodding and grinning. When she smiled I couldn't tell if the lights had gone on in a theatre or if it was just her brightening radiance filling the room. Trying not to stare at her, I looked down at my watch.
"It's only nine o'clock. You wanna go home now or hang out a bit more?" I tried to make my voice nonchalant so she wouldn't see that all I could hope for was more time with her.
"I don't feel like going home yet. Let's go get a smoothie across the street first."
"Okay." I shrugged like I couldn't care less, while in reality my reaction was one of ecstasy.
I followed her outside into the summer air. It was a night that lacked humidity, and the air felt cool and refreshing in my lungs. The sweat on my palms dried in the light breeze, something I was more than thankful for.
The store she led me into had a colorful and relaxed theme to it. The tables were lime green with pink, yellow, and orange overstuffed leather chairs surrounding them. We walked to the counter and ordered small strawberry drinks and went to choose seats. I chose a pink chair near the back of the store while she sat daintily in the orange one beside me.
"I love strawberries in any form," I said, sipping through a colorful straw. She laughed. "Same. It's a bit of an addiction." I joined her in a laughing fit.
We drank slowly, taking our time before we left. We had killed an hour, although the night still seemed young.
"Hey Valerie, my parents aren't coming home until tomorrow night from some business trip. Wanna sleep over? I don't feel like going home to an empty house."
"Sure, why not? Sounds like fun!" I kept my response short; trying to do everything I could to repress my joy. I quickly called my parents to let them know I wouldn't be coming home until morning, then called a cab back to her place. The ride was short, but my excitement made every moment seem like an hour.
"You can borrow some clothes in the morning; I'm a little taller than you but I think you'll fit."
"Thanks," I said, looking around her room. Her bed was a full size, with a quilt as blue as the ocean. Pillows were leaning against a wooden headboard. "I like your room."
"Thanks, I just had it done." She was silent for a moment, then looked away from me.
"Valerie," she said, still looking away, "there's something you haven't cared to admit to me yet, and I wish you would." Her gaze turned back on me. "Haven't you ever done this before?"
"Done…done what?" I stuttered, trying to steer around what she was getting at. I must have given myself away…she was never going to talk to me again now.
"You aren't going to say it, are you?"
"Say what?" maybe if I acted dumb enough she'd think she was mistaken. I was a fool to think she was that stupid.
"Fine, don't. I guess I'll just have to make the move myself."
Without another word or hesitation, she walked over to me and put her hands on my waist. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips against mine.
My brain went on complete shutdown. All I could do was react to her kiss, trying to move at her pace. She sped up as she went along, her tongue sliding in between my willing lips. She seemed to have more experience than I would have thought an hour ago, but I went along with it willingly, the sensations she was giving me feeling too good to stop.
She pulled away from me and gestured to her bed. She reached around my back and unzipped my dress. The fabric crinkled as it fell to the floor. She undressed herself, unbuttoning her blouse and sliding out of her flowing white skirt. She jumped back on the bed, motioning with her finger for me to follow. I climbed on next to her, and she kissed me again before I had time to situate myself.
Finally comprehending what was happening, I allowed my hands to wander about her gorgeous body. My thumbs caressed the edge of her bra, itching to go inside. I slid my hands along the band to the back, where I found the hook in the middle.
"Can I?" I asked, my voice no more than a whisper.
I unhooked her bra and it fell from her chest, revealing a set of beautiful and erotic breasts, perking just for me. She ridded herself of the garment that had fallen between us, and kissed me again. Seconds later my own bra fell off of my body, revealing my larger chest. I grew self conscious and instinctively moved my hands to cover them, but she caught them and pinned them at my sides.
"So beautiful…" she moaned as she stared. Without warning, she leaned down and put her pretty little mouth on one, sucking until I screamed. She jumped off the bed and ordered me to lay flat on my back and close my eyes. She spread my legs apart, ripping the last article of clothing from my body.
"You shaved too. Good, I like them better that way." My eyes still closed, I could not watch as she put her face in between my legs. Her tongue worked magic, licking and sucking at my most sensitive spots until my entire body began to vibrate. I wasn't sure if I could give her this much pleasure, but at that moment I didn't care. All I wanted was more of her, and more of her soon.
My orgasm ripped through my entire body. She refused to stop, although it was impossible she was unaware of my spasms. Finally I peaked, and I opened my eyes.
"Where did you learn to do that?" I asked, panting.
She shrugged.
"Porn, an old girlfriend, the usual places." She let herself fall back on the bed. "You got really wet really fast. You taste amazing."
"I do?" I asked.
"Delicious. Most girls do."
"I wouldn't know…" I trailed off.
"No? Never?" She sat upright. "Time for you to find out. Go on, get up."
I stood reluctantly and walked to the other side of the bed. She finished undressing herself, and spread her legs in a full split for me. I took a moment to admire the gorgeous scene set before me. She was completely shaven, and her sex was a soft pink. Everything about it invited me in for a taste. I bent down slowly to take the small nub of her clit in my mouth. I nibbled and sucked until I heard her gasp once. I ran my tongue up and down her entire slit, tasting her juices as they began to flow.
I had never tasted such sweet nectar. I had tasted the salty flavor of a man before, and that was all I had never known. Before Lilly, the sweet taste of a female had never crossed my mind as something I'd like to try. But now, here I was, trying to get as much as I could of her delicious taste.
I was so busy intoxicating myself with her flavor; I hadn't noticed her breathing had become jagged and irregular. Her climax forced a scream from her mouth, but like she had with me I kept going. Her wetness increased, and I drank whatever she gave me. I stopped only when her orgasm completed and her body lay still.
"If that was your first time, I can't wait to see what you're like experienced," she said, smiling at me. "But for now, I'm exhausted."
"We should sleep," I agreed. I climbed into bed with her, and she wrapped her arms around me as I snuggled in next to her. The heat of our bodies and the smell of sex filled the room; the perfect atmosphere for a night of rest. I closed my eyes, perfectly content in her arms, and fell asleep with her naked body against mine.
