Why do these guys look so grumpy?
Hey, all you Journey haters out there, this one's gonna sting. All you Steve Perry apologists, you might wanna skip this blog item. Here's some bad news for you: Journey's new "Revelations" album is selling very well.
The 3-disc set -- the first with new lead singer Arnel Pineda -- sold more than 104,000 copies in its debut week, according to Wal-Mart Stores, which has an exclusive retail deal for the disc. That's good enough for the No. 5 spot on Billboard's best-selling albums list this week.
That's the best start for a Journey album since "Trial By Fire" in 1996, according to the band's publicist. And yep, "Trial By Fire" was the last album to feature Perry and drummer Steve Smith. (Still drawing a blank? The big hit was "When You Love a Woman," so far the last top 40 song for the band.)

How To Breed Cats
When trying to learn how to breed cats, read this article for tips. Breeding cats is not that hard as they do all the work. It is just a matter of helping them along the way. Cats are naturally born to be mothers and unless you spay them, babies will come as part of the natural process.
- When Will Cats Go Into Heat? Cats will generally go into heat between 4 to 12 months. It is a time when they will be scared as this is their first time having sexual urges and it is a time to watch out.
- Mannerism of a Cat in Heat. Cats, once in heat want nothing to do with loving and adoring families. The cats want to breed and will want to have sexual contact with any and all cats. Cats will only recognize you occasionally for a quick bite of food. Once the cats have eaten, they will want to go back outside immediately.
- Looking for the Perfect Mate. When breeding cats professionally, pedigree cats are usually mated. This will happen easily as male cats are always in the mood. Once the female cat is in heat, simply put then in a room together and boom, the mother cat is pregnant.
- How Long Does the Breeding Take? A normal baby kitten or cat will take four days to breed. As much as clock work is involved, watch the behaviorism of cats and you will see them slowly pulling away from the male cat.
- After the Breeding Process is Complete. Once the female cat has been impregnated, she will be very hungry and exhausted. Find a nice comfy bed for her to rest. Have plenty of nourishing food and treats for her to eat quickly, like raw liver and her favorite dry treats.
- When Will Baby Kittens Arrive? A mother cat is pregnant from 62 to 67 days and after that you can watch for signs of delivery. The first time a litter comes, the mother cat will need comforting and maybe some help. Stay with the mother until all kittens are born, as the mother cat will eat one of the kittens if hungry. A meal of liver after birth will satisfy the mother.
- What to Do After the Cat has Given Birth? After child birth the mom in most cases will be very affectionate and nourish all the baby kittens. It is a very protective time for the mother cat. Cat breeding is not difficult for most cats and expect the mother cat to want to breed again a few months after giving birth.

I have seen several people make two tone bc roses. Could someone please tell me how to do this. I would like to put them on a cake for this weekend.
i just finished course 1 so i am still working on my roses
i do know one way is to put a stripe of color in the pastry bag
i am sure someone else will answer you
Well, you can do it one of two ways. You can either use a paintbrush and paint a paste coloring stripe up one side of your bag (also called bag striping) or you can take a different colored frosting and apply a strip of it up one side of your bag (like bag striping, but this one is called spatula striping and is done with frosting rather than coloring)
Oh yeah, you could "paint" whichever style up the seam or crease in your bag to keep track of which side you've striped. Be sure to place the thin end of the rose tip where your striping is.
Which one gives a more natural look?
Well, the coloring will certainly give it a much bolder color at first. For a more natural look, I would go with the thin layer of icing... I would also suggest an angled spatula so your strip won't be too wide.
Thanks a bunch!

A quarter of the 2,000 people asked said they routinely lick their knife, and one in five do the same to their plate - even when dining in company.
One out of every five said it was acceptable to burp at the table.
And the same proportion considered it stupid and old-fashioned to ask permission to leave after eating or to keep elbows off the table.
Half of those asked in the online questionaire said they did not put their knife and fork together when they had finished a meal.
And one in 10 said they would speak with their mouth full.
However, more modern habits remain beyond the pale - three-quarters of those asked said using mobile phones at the table was irritating.
'Show respect'
Simon Fanshawe, author of the The Done Thing - Negotiating The Minefield Of Modern Manners, said it was an issue which needed to be discussed more often.
He said while the survey showed a minority did not care about such things, the majority still did with many battling hard to instill good manners in their children.
"Most people recognise the importance of table manners," he said.
"All table manners flow from a sense of companionship, that we should treat other people in a such a way that they feel relaxed and happy to be there and welcomed.
"They show respect and consideration for others."

"This adapted-from-Emeril recipe was a delightful surprise of combined flavors. I'd never have thought of joining the slaw ingredients, but it totally worked! We're pretty wimpy when it comes to peppers, but the heat here was tamed with the yogurt-based slaw and each bite grew on us. I halved the given recipe, added about 2 tablespoons of very finely minced broccoli to thicken the slaw and omitted the mint for our tastes. I include Emeril's ingredients and directions below, but I found that the chicken didn't need to cook as long as stated before it was done. Keep a close eye on yours. Chicken tenders are pretty thin and the heat was considerable, so we cut the frying time at least in half, cooking 3 tenders at a time and storing them in a warm oven until all were done. Estimated time includes marination and cucumber draining."

Free Tingers
Marek woke up on the 4th of July and yelled "I'm Freeeeeee!" Then he proceeded to jump up and down on the bed to his own song of babble in a birthday celebration dance.
This is how he usually wakes up, full of spitfire and rearing to go. I usually have to peel my eyelids off my face, reach blindly for one of his flailing arms and try to wrestle his stocky little body into a ball next to mine.
"I love you, Mommy," he says while he kisses my face and uses his baby hand to stroke my hair.
That morning, we spent some time trying to learn how to hold only three fingers up. Holding the little finger with the thumb is just a concept he can't grasp yet.
Finally, he laughed and said "pull my tinger like daddy does." I absolutely refused.
That's my Marek. He's all boy. Puppy dog tails, snail shells, guns, farts and tractors. He can't wait to ride a horse and lasso some bad guys.
How'd he get this way? His psuedo-hippie parents can't figure it out except to say he's taken the chickens and the garden have heart.
Since he couldn't have a real pony for his birthday, he had to settle for a horse cake. He helped me decorate it the night before, more interested in eating frosting from the can than the cake, until I added a chocolate chip to the eyeball. Then he screamed "Yee Haw, I'm a cowboy birfday," and ran out the back door to chase the chickens.
(You can find this and other cake ideas at Parenting.com)
He was so excited for his party. He greeted everybody at the door and tried over and over again to show them his free tingers. He never did get it right.
His party ended up being pretty simple. I'm proud of that really because I have a tendency to go overboard. What? Me? Really?
His grandparents rented a giant bump-n-jump slip 'n slide.
I watched as he set his stocky legs, ran full speed and threw himself into the stream of water, laughing hysterically as the other kids greeted him with tickles.
I paused for a minute. Should I clean up? Chat with the adults?
"Come on mommy!" he yelled.
I kicked off my flip-flops, ran full speed, belly flopped and tried my best to knock the kids down like bowling pins.
Marek threw his arms around me and said "Yesterday, I was free...."
Yeah, baby boy, that's what I was thinking.

Lighten up, media.
The sporting press -- and I am speaking mostly of my fellow scribes -- takes itself entirely too seriously. And never is this better displayed than the Tuesday before Super Bowl.
That is the annual maniac circus known as Media Day.
Little-known fact: the media hates Media Day.
Members of the working press head to Media Day early in the morning, some mumbling under their breath, some openly grousing, almost all looking as if the bus they were boarding was taking them to a long-term stay in a correctional facility.
The problem is that they expect to get work done. (I suspect it is also that many of them are incensed they can't get more interviews done Tuesday in order to stockpile stories and be able take the latter part of the week off.)
Having expectations about accomplishing something legitimate at Media Day is asinine. It's a little like my wife expecting I will make the bed in the morning. At some point, a long time ago, it became her problem.
You walk in to Media Day next to a guy in a super hero outfit. You've seen him at this thing before and heard him ask players if they'd rather tackle Clay Aiken or Celine Dion.
You know going in that you will see Ines Sainz, the Mexican TV journalist that wears as little as possible and, I believe, is employed full-time by TV Azteca solely to show up this one Tuesday a year and be a distraction.
You cannot be shocked when you see little people in matching garb, or a guy dressed in a revolutionary war outfit or hear the question asked of a player whether he would rather see Andy Reid or Mark Mangino in a thong.
There are 16 podiums set up for the 15 players the NFL deems most desirable for the masses, plus the head coach. The other 48 players and dozen or so assistant coaches are elsewhere on the floor. This year's Media Day was held in a hockey arena, rather than the stadium where the game will be played. Some 4,000 media members tried to interview all these people.
We know that it will be cramped -- and that this year would be worse than ever.
But, no, the grizzled vets of media wars are continually appalled at all this rather than laughing along.
In fact, one media member (a real, live member of the working press) was so cognizant of the absurdity of this day that he presented several players with this obviously satirical question on Tuesday: "Do you consider this a must-win game?"
Dave Dameshek of NFL.com, you are now a hero of mine. Brilliant.
But, you know what, a number of my brethren were so wrapped up in their bitter blanket that they thought the question was serious.
Goodness. We need to get over ourselves.
Even Marshawn Lynch was fantastic theatre. I mean, I'm no fan of the NFL facilitating a player flaunting a rule, as the league did Tuesday by allowing the Seahawks running back to speak for 6½ minutes and then stand 10 feet from the media in a silent standoff.
But watching this scene, with Lynch's hood pulled tight over a face obscured by large sunglasses (while inside), was akin to watching Al Cowlings drive O.J. Simpson South on the 405 Freeway. You could hardly believe you were so intrigued, but you couldn't pull yourself away.
And Richard Sherman? From lunatic/thug to guru. The man is wise, or so the media must believe.
Media seeker: Richard, What would you say to strippers
Guru Sherman: There are other avenues to make money. Women can do anything they want."
Give me more!
Members of the press need to stop thinking of Media Day as a time for serious work.
Why would we think we're going to get anything done? You can hardly get a question out anyway. The questioner-to-answerer ratio on Media Day: 60-to-1.
I take my job very seriously, as I should. But I'm also honest enough to admit it's very often sort of a silly way to make a living.
I can get real work done the rest of the week. On the Tuesday before the Super Bowl, my job is to enjoy the madness.

Mutable History For Mercurial
Evolve Extension
This package supplies the evolve extension for Mercurial,
The full implementation of the changeset evolution concept is still in progress. Please subscribe to the evolve-testers mailing list to stay up to date with changes.
This extension:
- enables the "changeset evolution" feature of Mercurial core,
- provides a set of commands to mutate your history,
- issues several warning messages when troubles from some mutable appears in your repository,
- provides an hg evolve command to deal with such "troubles",
- improves performance of obsolescence marker exchanges and discovery during push and pull.
We recommend reading the documentation first. An online version is available here:
How to Install
Using Pip
You can install the latest evolution version usin pip:
$ pip install --user hg-evolve
Then just enable it in you hgrc:
$ hg config --edit # adds the two line below: [extensions] evolve =
From Source
To install a local version from source:
$ hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/evolve/ $ cd evolve $ pip install --user .
Then just enable it in you hgrc:
$ hg config --edit # adds the two line below: [extensions] evolve =
Documentation lives in doc/.
Server Only Setup
It is possible to enable a smaller subset of the extensions aimed at server serving repository. It skips the additions of the new commands and local UI messages that might add performance overheads. To use the server only extension, install the package and use:
$ hg config --edit # adds the two line below: [extensions] evolve.serveronly =
How to Contribute
Bugs are to be reported on the mercurial's bug tracker (component: evolution):
Please use the patchbomb extension to send email to mercurial devel. Please make sure to use the evolve-ext flag when doing so. You can use a command like this:
$ hg email --to email@example.com --flag evolve-ext --rev '<your patches>'
For guidelines on the patch description, see the official Mercurial guideline.
Please don't forget to update and run the tests when you fix a bug or add a feature. To run the tests, you need a working copy of Mercurial, say in $HGSRC:
$ cd tests $ python $HGSRC/tests/run-tests.py
Branch policy
The evolve test are highly impacted by changes in core. To deal with this, we use named branches.
There are two main branches: "stable" and "default". Tests on these branch are supposed to pass with the corresponding "default" and "stable" branch from core Mercurial. The documentation is built from the tip of stable.
In addition, we have compatibility branches to check tests on older version of Mercurial. They are the "mercurial-x.y" branches. They are used to apply expected test change only, no code change should happen there.
6.7.0 - in progress
- documentation: improvement to content, wording and graphs,
- compatibility with change in future 4.4 at this release date,
- obslog/log: improve verb used to describe and evolution,
- obslog: improved templatability

move all extensions in the official 'hgext3rd' namespace package,
add the "topic" experimental extensions. See the README.topic file for details
officially ship 'evolve.serveronly' extensions. That extensions contains only the part related to exchange and is intended to be used by server.
Using the extension will enable evolution, use 'experimental.evolution=!' to disable obsmarkers echange. The old '__temporary__.advertiseobsolete' option is no longer supported.
a new prototype of obsmarker discovery is available. The prototype is still at early stage and not recommended for production. Examples of current limitations:
- write access to the repo is highly recommanded for all operation,
- large memory footprint,
- initial caching is slow,
- unusable on large repo (because of various issue pointed earlier),
- likely to constains various bugs.
It can be tested by setting experimental.obshashrange=1 on both client and server. It is recommanded to get in touch with the evolve maintainer if you decide to test it.
the 'debugrecordpruneparents' have been moved into the 'evolve.legacy' separate extension. enable that extentions if you need to convert/update markers in an old repository.

Sui Dynasty
Sui Dynasty was a short life and only existed for 37 years. It started from 581 AD when Yang Jian (Wen Di Emperor) founded Sui Dynasty and stopped in 618 AD when Yang Guang (Yang Di Emperor) was killed. But it had wide influence in history, because many systems were proposed and established in that period. Emperor Gao Zu of Tang Dynasty and Emperor Yang Di of Sui Dynasty had blood relationships. Therefore, to large extent, Tang Dynasty was the extension of Sui Dynast. Many historical books often refer Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty together to Sui and Tang Dynasty.
During Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Di contributed most. He abolished the Six-Official System in Northern Zhou Dynasty and established a new system of government officials, namely Three Councils and Six Boards. That main body of the system was inherited later by Tang Dynasty, and became the major content that Japan had learned from Sui and Tang Dynasties in its Dahua Reform. Besides, Emperor Wen Di also formulated a series of new laws. They played a key role in the improvement and consolidation of feudal laws in Tang Dynasty. Codes on physical punishment were not as cruel as those in Southern and Northern Dynasties. In addition, the creation and implementation of Imperial Examinations was another feat to history. The new form of examinations was an innovation to the selection of social servants. Moreover, it was more rational and fair than the previous ones.
Emperor Yang Di was remembered by the later generations only because of the great canal he ordered to build (for play as a major purpose). A poet in Tang Dynasty, known as Li Shangyin, once expressed through his poem that Emperor Yang Di was no less indulgent and fatuity than Chen Shubao, the offspring of an emperor in Jin Dynasty, captured by Wen Di Emperor. Emperor Yang Di was notorious in history for his cruel tyranny. Four of his brothers were killed continuously. Later he ascended the throne by killing his father. However, his people could not bear his inhuman rule and abnormal tyranny any longer, and initiated revolts against him. Finally he got what he deserved and was killed in Jingdu, declaring the end of Sui Dynasty.

Taking Fosamax and Didrocal at the Same Time
I have been taking Didrocal for some years, but my bone mass density is steadily decreasing. My doctor wants me to take Fosamax as well as Didrocal. The pharmacist has never heard of anyone taking both drugs at the same time.
Is it okay to take both drugs at the same time?
I am a 60 year old male.
I agree with your pharmacist that the two drugs are usually not taken together. It is important that you see an expert in osteoporosis to see why you are continuing to lose bone. I am assuming you are taking the medication correctly and that you are also taking calcium and vitamin D. Since it is less common for men of your age to have osteoporosis, that is another reason for you to see a specialist to seed if there are other underlying reasons for you to have osteoporosis.

Authors note: This started as a roleplay with a very talented young woman, and when she was suddenly taken away, I thought it was too good not to complete. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. Jake
Melissa's Obsession
She seemed pleasent enough, she always had, ever since we started working together two years earlier. She was cute and blonde and sweet and I had been crazy about her from the first time I laid eyes on her.
I know she had caught me staring more than once, I just couldn't help myself. I liked everything about her, the way she walked and the way she talked. I loved the way she would sit at her desk staring out the window seemingly trying to think of solutions to all of the worlds problems. Or maybe just hers.
Well the biggest problem is I've never gotten the vibe from her that she might be interested in me and I'm certainly not going to ask a beautiful woman like her out unless I have some indication that she might say yes.
I don't know what I'm going to do. Sometimes I think I would like to follow her home sometime and just take..........aw no I couldn't do that..............
Life is so unfair sometimes. They always say you should never date a guy at work, and I don't want to risk getting hurt or rejected. But I can't help feeling the way i do about this guy.
Of course, I could never tell him how I feel. He's so amazing! So perfect! The very thought of him makes my blood boil and my knees crumble out from under me. He seems like such a wonderful man, and he has this irresistible dominant male quality to him. Not abusive, or chauvinistic. But like he's totally in control of his life, and knows exactly what he wants.
Now if only it were ME that he wanted...
Honestly, I hate my shyness. And sometimes, I just wish he did feel the same way, and that he would make the first move for me. There are times when I long for him to catch me off alone, and just take me! Put his hands on me! Touch me, even if I protest out of habit! I wish he would set all this ridiculous propriety aside, and just tear all my barriers down! Come at me with full force, and shake me to my core! Do away with all the pride and hesitation, and unleash all his passion on me!
But what am I talking about? Nothing like that will ever happen. Intense, hot-blooded men like that don't really exist. He will never notice me. And even if he did, I would be too shy to let him know that I want him.
I'm having a early morning meeting with three of my salesmen before sending them out for the day when she barges through the door without knocking.
Our eyes instantly fixate on each other and we both seem to freeze in time for just a split second.
"Oh my god" she says "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize there was a meeting going on in here, I mean I didn't know.....I...I...just needed to get the file on the Bolger case. We have a hearing this afternoon and..."
"Melissa" I said softly. "Its all right. You haven't disturbed us at all." I'm not quite sure if I was smiling or not. I"m not even sure of what I had said. But I did know that when she looked at me with those sparkeling eyes, and actually spoke to me, that something had changed and would never be the same.
"Take all the time you need Melissa, we were just finishing up." I motioned for the three salesmen to take off and wished them a productive day.
I watched as she searched for the file. I wanted to speak, I knew I had to speak. I had spent the biggest part of my life knowing exactly what to say and now I had absolutly no words, zero...zilch..nada.
She turned to me as she pulled the file from the drawer. "Again, I'm sorry for barging in on your meeting."
"Not at all Melissa, no need to apoligize I assure you that your interuption is the most pleasent thing that will happen to me today."
She quickly turned away as she closed the drawer, almost as if she was afraid of what I might say next. Without another word she walked out of the meeting room and headed down the hall.
I stood in the doorway and watched her walk the entire length of the hallway as the Musak played through the intercom..........
Your just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I want to hold you so much..............
Just as Melissa turned into her office she took a quick look back.
My obsession was overpowering.
I step into the solitude of my office, closing myself inside, and propping my back up against the door. My heart is pounding furiously as I clutch the Bolger file to my chest, eyes tightly closed. Once again, I have made a complete fumbling klutz of myself, right in front of Jake When will I ever grow up, and stop acting like a love-struck teenager?
"Idiot!" I criticize myself.
The truth was, the file could have waited. Not to mention the fact that when I passed Brian out in the hallway, he offered to go down to run down and get it for me, since he was the one I needed to pass it on to anyway. But I had insisted on getting it myself, making up a story about a few other things I needed to look for. As usual, any excuse I could conjure up to go see Jake. To be around him.
Now if only I could get past that--- stay in his presence, and muster up the courage to have some kind of professional or even friendly conversation with him, without choking on my own tongue . Not like that would help, though. Doubtful he's interested in me at all. Sure, I've seen his eyes move in my direction a few times, but what is he supposed to do? Stare at the floor all the time?
Then I recall his words: "Your interruption is the most pleasant thing that will happen to me today."
I savor them in my mind, playing them over and over again. Prickly sensations chase their way down my spine, as I try to steady my breathing. God, if only those words meant what I wished they did! Or better yet-- if only those damn salesman hadn't been there! They totally threw everything off, at the begging. Had we been alone, we might have gotten off to a better start. I might have had the chance to actually speak to him. Maybe I could have just asked him out for coffee. Out to lunch. Something.
Oh yeah, right. Like he would actually give me the time of day Fat chance! If he had even the least bit of interest, wouldn't he have said something by now?
Then again, who am I to talk? 2 years have gone by now, and I've never grown the guts to say a single word to him!
But its different for me. Modern times or no, most women still generally prefer the man to make the first move. That's kind of an unspoken rule, no matter what culture you live in. Most men know that too. And because of that, men are usually more bold than women in dating. So obviously, if Jake isn't saying anything to me, I can most likely forget it.
Slowly, I turn to peek out my door, opening it only an inch or two. Jake is still out there, with his back to me now, talking to a couple of salesmen. Suddenly, he pauses in mid-conversation, and starts turning his head in my direction! Almost as though he could sense that I was watching him! Quickly, I shut the door again, before sees me.
Or at least I hope he didn't see me. Jeez, what is wrong with me? I haven't behaved like this since I was in grade school!
Finally, I let out a pinned up breath, and stride over to my desk, tossing down the file and kicking off my binding high-heel shoes, as I normally do, when nobody is around. But before I can sink down into my cozy, swiveling computer chair and get down to work, I hear a knock at my office door
"Oh for Pete's sake, what now?" I sigh, quietly.
Probably just Brian, stopping by for that file, I assess. Had I been thinking more clearly, I would have just dropped it off at his office, before returning to mine. But as usual, Jake had my rationality all twisted up Or rather, my silly girlish infatuation did.
I make my way back over to the door, and pull it open, expecting to see Brian But instead, I am now standing face-to-face with Mr. Wonderful!
"Jake " I gasp, blushing every shade of red. He looks down at me with those incredible eyes of his, and flashes me his killer smile.
"Sorry, were you busy?" He asked, his gaze shifting downward, awkwardly, to my nylon-clad bare feet.
"Um No, no, of course not." I stutter.
Then I nearly kick myself-- Of course not? Right on, Melissa! You'll definitely make employee of the month now. I reach up and tuck my hair behind my ear, nervously.
" I mean no, I'm not." I correct myself. "Did Did you need something?"
Had I actually caught her sneaking a last look at me before ducking into her office? Or was this just my mind creating evidence to support my fantasy? I had to know. I needed to find out once and for all. I simply couldn't continue to hold this....this dream girl only in my mind. I had to get her somehow into my arms.
I had no plan whatsoever in my head as I fired off down the hall to Melissa's office. I wasn't formulating some cute little story or opening line to catch her offguard. I felt so good when she was in the meeting room, close to me, where I could see her, smell her scent, close enough to where I could actually touch her. And when she spoke her voice filled the room with the only music I wanted to hear.
And then she was gone. And all of a sudden I knew what it would feel like if I lost her. Lost her! What was wrong with me. I was having a love affair with this magnificent creature in my mind and I was the only one who knew about it.
Well that all ends right now. Faint heart never won fair maiden. I found myself standing in front of her office door raising my arm to knock. The sound of my knuckles banging against the wooden door brought the reality of what I was doing up in front of my eyes like a red flag. It didn't matter. I was like racehorse in the starting gate. My breathing was deep, my nostrils flared and the adrenylyn was flowing to my muscles.
Open that door screamed my mind. And then it happened. The door swung open and there she was. The face of an angel. Those sparkeling eyes full of life and energy. The look on her face of surprise to see me and the beautiful sound that came out of her mouth. "Jake"
She said my name. And my name never sounded so good.
"I'm sorry" I said "Were you busy?
"No" was her reply "No... of course not"
There was something very appealing, almost erotic, about her standing in front of me in her stocking feet. I felt the heat in my neck and ears as I caught myself slowly moving my eyes from her feet back up to her face. I knew better than that but I was lost in the moment.
Melissa nervously brushed her hair behind her ear. "Did you need something?"
I stepped forward towards Melissa to get out of her doorway. "May I come in?"
"Of course" she said without moving back.
I was close enough now to once again smell her perfume, close enough to take her in my arms, close enough to....to make a serious mistake.
I stepped away putting a safe distance between us. "Melissa you have developed quite a reputation with the company for your orgainizational skills, Brian tells me that he wouldn't know what to do without you."
She thanked me and seemed a little embarassed by the compliment.
"I'm working on a project that needs an enormous amount of orgainization laying out the parameters for the new networking system we are going to be selling and I have very little time to complete it. And I know with your work load you wouldn't be able to work on it with me during the day but I thought, if you were free the next couple of evenings, and I could pry you away from your boyfriend, you may be able to help me get this thing wrapped up. Of course the sales division would pay you double time for however long it takes."
"Oh and one other thing...if you decided to do this we would have to do it at your place. I'm having new hardwood floors put in my house and it really is a disaster area."
Melissa looked at me as if she was trying to think of an excuse. How do I know that? I'm a salesman. I make a living anyalizing peoples expressions and body language. Had I gone too far too fast? Had I said something inappropriate?
"Look" I said "You can think about it and let me know this afternoon or in the morning. Ok?".........................
I am almost rendered speechless at Jakes bold proposal to work together on my own private turf. I normally don't let anyone from work visit me at home, or see any part of my personal life.
This is unreal! I think to myself. The man I worship actually admires me? He wants to work one-on-one with me, in my house?
A highly unorthodox suggestion, as far as professionalism goes. No doubt about that. And thank god nobody was within earshot! Lord knew the kind of talk that would circulate around the office if people heard about this.
But its also everything I've ever dreamed of, for the past 2 years! The chance to be alone with the man of my dreams, in a comfortable setting, on a daily basis, for hours on-end! What could possibly be better?
Suddenly, I realize how long I've been standing there, with my jaw dropped, saying absolutely nothing. Yeah, great signals, I think to myself. Nothing tells a guy 'Go away, I'm not interested ' more than standing there, looking back at him like a deer caught in headlights!
What are you doing?? My subconscious screams at me. Say something-- NOW! He's about to walk away, and you're taking a mental vacation! You don't need to think about anything, and you know it. You want him. More than anything. Snap out of it, and act like a grown-up!
Now Jake is turning on his heel to walk back to his office . I suddenly feel a title wave of adrenaline rushing through my body, causing all my inhibitions to vanish momentarily.
"Absolutely, I would love to work with you!" I blurt out my answer, almost desperately, "And my place would be fine."
He turns back to look at me. For a moment, he seems almost stunned, but then a smile begins to warm up his handsome face. Is he really that glad to be working with me? I wonder. Or did I simply catch him off guard with my quick response?
"Alright." He says, calmly, "So How does tonight sound?"
Wow! Tonight? Wasn't expecting that one
"Um S-sure. I mean I don't have any plans or anything, if that's what you mean. What time did you wanna come over?"
He pauses, looking upward for a second.
"Mmmm, how about seven?" He asks, though it sounds more like a final decision, than a question.
I feel a heavy stir of primitive female arousal inside me, as I look at him now-- that air of hard and powerful maleness, the wall of command in his tone Amazing how just a few words from his lips automatically forces me into submission. Normally I feel like such a cold, hard, career woman in this place. Completely desensitized to the differences in gender, except when in defensive mode over mine. But somehow, Jake's presence is always able to soften me, and make me feel so feminine. And more importantly, unafraid to be so!
"Alright," I agree, "I get off at five, so I'll just leave my address on your desk."
"Sounds like a plan." Jake says, curtly. Then turns and makes his way back to his office.
I feel my heart pounding like thunder against my ribcage, as I watch Jake walking away from me. I want him to turn around and come back to me so badly right now! I want him to push me into my office, slam the door closed, and just take me, right on the floor!
My god, how can any man be so perfect, in every way? I wonder.
As I rush around my apartment, shuffling a few random piles into order, I glace down at the watch on my hand--- 6:50pm. Jake is due to arrive soon.
I would have cleaned up earlier, but I got stuck in a mild traffic jam on the way home, which surprisingly, doesn't normally happen on my usual commuting route. Then of course, I had to take a shower as soon as I got home, to wash away the busy day. Then dry my hair, apply some light makeup, and change into something casual.
I chose my wardrobe carefully-- snug, white capree pants, and a pastel-pink button up blouse. I just love the way caprees are so soft and comfortable, yet hugged my lower body. And this blouse always gave off a modest appearance, but still accentuated the curve of my hips and shape of my breasts, just right.
If Jake does have any interest in me, this particular choice in outfit will definitely help it along. Nice, soft, feminine style and colors. No power threat. And if he doesn't, I decide, its not skimpy enough to send off the wrong message.
Finally, I seem to have my apartment in order. It wasn't really messy, just a couple of things here and there. I'm generally a neat person. But I certainly don't want a co-worker thinking I'm the clutter type .
Just as I finish arranging and smoothing the cushions and pillows on my large, beige couch, I hear my doorbell ring .
As I stand motionless staring into the most beautiful pair of eyes on the planet I suddenly think to myself about the effect she is having on me. I've abandoned my normally stoic attitude. I've lost all my basic rules of conduct by first flirting with her this morning and now by making up this incredulous story to be alone with her simply because I'm afraid she will say "no thanks" if I ask her out. What is happening with me?
And on top of all that, what must she think of me now to exibit such a low degree of professionalism? I need to get back in control. I decide to apoligize and withdraw my request before she has a chance to say no but just as I open my mouth to speak she blurts out.
"Absolutely, I would love to work with you."
The music was playing again and it was a wonderful sound. Those eight little words had made everything right in me. I stopped worrying about rules and professionalism as we agreed on a time.
I take one last look at Melissa before turning to go back to my office. I can sense a connection between us. A feeling of mutual anticipation. I feel like shes mine. I feel like I could take in my arms at this very instant and devour her.
"I'll leave my address on your desk" she says as I make my way down the hall.
I left work early and headed home to shower and change clothes. I still wanted to maintain some modicum of professionalism so I wore a dark blue double-breasted pin stripe suit, with a salmon shirt and matching silk tie. Frankly I look pretty good in a suit and tie and my plan was to sweep Melissa off her feet.
She looked like an angel when she answered the door. I had never seen her in anything but a plain business suit. She was absolutly breathtaking.
"Jake your right on time" she smiled. And you look very nice. I didn't realize we would be dressing up." she said with that gorgeous smile.
"I thought we may take in an opera a little later" I joked.
"You can spread your papers out on the coffee table there while you brief me on the general outline of your project if you like."
Her voice was so soft and her manner like silk. I set my files down and watched as she crossed the room to her music system.
"Do you mind if I put on a little background music? I'll keep it low."
I was boiling inside. Just being alone with Melissa after all this time was overpowering. Seeing how she looked in form fitting clothes instead of her conservative business suits was causing a sensory overload. I had to clear my mind.
"I...I don't mind at all" and I love that song.
"I do too" she said "but I can never remember the name of it"
Her back was to me as she adjusted the volumn. I closed the distance between us silently and when she turned around she was surprised to see herself within inches of me.
"It's Chris Deburgh The Lady in Red or as would be more fitting this evening, The Lady In Pink."
I'm not sure whether I saw fear or anticipation in Melissa's eyes but it was very evident to both of us that something was about to happen.
"Do you dance?"
I've never seen you looking so lovley as you do tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright......
The music played as I reached out and took her right hand in mine. She put her free hand against my chest as if to push me away but with no real force. I put my arm around her waist and started to dance.
I have never seen that dress your wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
"Jake.....stop please I.....I don't think...........................
I feel Jake's arm firmly around my waist, drawing me to him. It is a gentle hold, but at the same time, firm enough to where I cannot break it.
Inwardly, I admit that I do like him, very much. More than I have ever liked any man. But there is still some part of me-- perhaps it is my female pride-- that simply will not allow me to savor this moment. Maybe I am afraid he will see me as "easy" if I just go along with this. Maybe he will think I am trying to gain some favor at the office. Or maybe it is a sudden, subconscious reminder of reality that Jake and I do work together . And this could make things around the office a bit awkward
There is just something about the difference between what goes on in your head, and what happens in real life. In your mind, everything is safe. And if you do something you regret, you can simply forget about it. But there is no erasing your actions in real, day-to-day life.
Before, it was just a fantasy to have Jake. Be with him. But now, here he was-- in my apartment, dancing with me. His arms around me. This was no dream, and it was no figment of my imagination.
Modestly, I suggest that he and I should stop. But Jake pays absolutely no mind to my request. Instead, he draws me even closer! I can feel the warmth of his body now Smell his cologne And I begin to tremble now, from head to foot, as intense anxiety charges through my veins. It is obvious now, that Jake does return my feelings!
We are so close in proximity now, I can literally taste his breath I cautiously look up into his eyes, and I am stricken still by what is there--- Raw male emotions, older than mankind itself; Determination. Lust. Pure unstoppable testosterone It all radiates from him now, nearly overwhelming me completely!
And this form-hugging outfit I had chosen was no doubt enhancing it all.
Despite how I've felt about Jake in the past, I decide it would probably be best to stop this now. Before either of us does something we will regret. Finally, I manage to break my eye contact with him, and I try to step back. But he still has that firm grip on me.
"Jake, what are you doing?" I say, "Let me go!"
But he doesn't. His hand that had been holding mine only a moment ago, had now slid back and manacled my wrist in a tight grip. His other hand grasped the fabric on the back of my blouse, pulling it tighter against my skin.
I reach my hands up and grab his biceps, attempting to push him away. But its no use. His muscles feel like iron bulges under the smooth material of his suit. My breathing speeds up, and my heart begins to pound now, as I realize that I am in no way any physical match for Jake.
Now I feel him pushing me backward, in the direction of the couch. As my calves hit the edge of the cushions, my knees buckle underneath me, sending me toppling backward. Jake comes down with me, landing on top of me, pinning me beneath him with his body weight. Fiercely, he kisses me on the mouth, and down my neck.
I am still in an upright position, as I attempt to struggle my way out from under him. But he grips my shoulders, pushing me over until I am laying down. When I try to kick him, he quickly straddles my legs, making it impossible for me to even move them.
"Get off me, Jake!" I scream.
His hands reach up to the opening of my blouse now. I try to claw at them, but he grabs both of my wrists, and pins them above my head, with one hand. With his free hand, he rips the front of my blouse open, exposing my white-lace bra.
He raises up off me now, to get a firm grip on my capree pants, and begins jerking them down, one side at a time.
"No! Stop!" I scream, "Jake, please stop!"
All of a sudden, I find myself wishing I had chosen to wear jeans, which might have made this a little harder for him. But, I realize, that probably would have only slowed him down, temporarily
Finally, despite my struggling, he manages to get my pants down to my ankles and pull them completely off. I am still wearing my white panties and bra, though my panties are scrunched halfway down my hips now .
As Jake climbs back on top of me, I think about all the times I wanted him so bad Wanted him to 'just grab me and take me'. But again, the real thing is always so much different than anything you can imagine. And I feel a twinge of guilt run through me now, as I start to think that I've brought this all on myself. I led Jake on.
And where did it get me? Trapped in a position where I could not change my mind, or back out .
When a woman says no it's like a slap in the face, a wake up call. Jake had been told no before and had always been able to stop. To pull back and mentally reconsider the action and the consequences. But this was different.
He had a yearning for Melissa the likes of which he had never experienced. Was it her look or her way? Maybe the shyness or the way she had avoided him for two years while always giving off that certain vibe that screams no while silently whispering yes. Or was it her scent? The scent of this beautiful woman, whom he had adored from afar for so long now in his grasp, filling his head with her primal smell while trying to deny him his destiny.
It didn't matter. His actions were now automatic. He grabbed her wrist and folded her arm behind her back pulling her tighter up against him. She tried to push him away but he had too much advantage. His adrenalin was flowing and he would not be denied.
Melissa began to back up as once again she shouted for Jake to stop. Jake stalked her, his mind analyzing the look in her eyes and the expression on her perfect face. He wouldn't stop....he couldn't stop. She was his and he meant to have her.
Melissa backed into the couch and fell backwards onto it as Jake sprang on her like the primitive animal that he had become ignoring her screams for him to stop. As he grabbed her wrist and held them over her head everything went into slow motion for him. Each movement was measured and deliberate. Every scream or protest was muffled.
He watched as his own hand took hold of and felt the silkiness of her blouse rip apart beneath his grip. Melissa tried to get her feet between them to push Jake away but she ended up only helping Jake to work her capris down over her hips. As he tossed them aside he grabbed her ankle and very slowly ran his hand the full length of her gorgeous leg.
He was towering over now devouring her with his eyes. She was breathtaking in her white lace bra and panties. Jake was completely taken with her beauty when suddenly Melissa was able to pull her knees up to her chin and plant both of them in Jakes chest. She pushed with all the might she could muster shoving him backwards. He went flying over the coffee table landing in the middle of the floor on his back.
He kipped back to his feet just in time to catch Melissa trying to run past him. She pushed off of him and took a swing. Jake caught her fist in his hand, bent over , wrapping his arm around her thighs and lifted her over his shoulder. With Melissa kicking her legs and pounding his back with her fist Jake took off to find her bedroom.
At the end of the hallway he opened her door and carried her in slamming the door behind them and throwing Melissa on the bed.
"Jake you stop this.....just stop it now."
Jake stepped back and looked at Melissa. This is it he thought. There is no going back from here. If he were going to stop, it would be here and now. He knew after the next few seconds the die would have been cast. There would be no taming the beast inside of him that roared to be freed.
As Mellisa knealt on the bed planning her next move, Jake slipped his suspenders over his shoulders, unbuttoned and removed his shirt and calmly stepped out of his trousers.............
He moved towards her as she knealt on the bed. The look in her eyes was one of anger and anticipation. As he approached Melissa took another swing at him. Jake calmly caught her fist in mid flight and pulled her roughly against him.
Melissa gasped as he folded her arm behind her and looked directly into her eyes. Jake kissed her lips as she struggled to escape his powerful grasp.
"Jake no....please not this way..."
Jake kissed her again and again not giving her the chance to breath much less letting her plea with him to stop. The more his lips covered her face, her lips, her neck the less Melissa felt the strength or the will to fight him. She could feel everything that she had anticipated about this moment. His reckless abandon, his powerful will, and his refusal to be denied.
He pushed Melissa onto her back grabbing her bra and ripping it from her gorgeous young body.
"Oh god Jake...."
Jake was on top of her before she could realize what had happened. He pinned her wrist over her head as he used his powerful legs to open hers. Melissa continued to resist although her will was almost non-existent. She had never felt this complete lack of control, not having any choice in what was happening, and she knew she should be hating the feeling.....but she wasn't. She wasn't hating it or Jake or herself for getting into this situation. As he pressed his lips gently against hers all she wanted, all she needed..... was Jake.
Jake felt the change in Melissa's body tension and knew his primal instincts were right. He stopped raping her and began to love her. He released her wrist and slid his hands down her arms to her face, her neck her hips. He touched her with his fingers, the face he had longed after for so many, many months.
Melissas eyes were staring intently into his as Jakes passion began to mass itself. He could feel Melissa begin to respond. It was in the touch of her soft warm lips and the look in her eyes. She knew nothing would stop Jake and in reality she was glad to have the control taken from her by this man she had wanted for nearly two years.
She took his head in her hands as she guided him to her neck where he touched so gently with his lips. He moved to her breast kissing and licking as his pace quickened and he became more intense.
"Oh Jake.....I.....I've never wanted anything so much"
He moved his mouth fevorishly to her stomach as Melissas hips began to rise and fall. Jake slid effortlessly between her gorgeous thighs and draped them over his shoulders. He slid his fingers under the waistband of her panties and ripped them off.
He attacked her hot, wet pussy like a man possessed. His lips were relentless licking, biting, kissing. Melissa used the strength of her musceled legs to drive herself into Jakes mouth.
I wanted this so much for so long, Melissa thought as she held Jakes head. How could this be wrong? No, No No it was right, oh so right and Jake knew it, he knew what I wanted...he knew what we needed.
Jakes filled his hands with Melissas beautiful firm ass. He began to rock her back and forth as he devoured her womanhood. His tongue darting in and out of her like so many tiny bolts of electricity,leaving her to moan in ecstacy with each new invasion.
"I'm yours Jake.......I'm yours."
Jake couldn't get enough of Melissas hot dripping pussy. He rocked her back and forth with her legs straight up in the air licking her from clit to rosebud and back over and over, again and again, until his beautiful girl exploded in ecstacy.
Melissas entire body shook in erotic convulsions as her hands and legs gripped Jake in every way possible. As Jake slowed the pace Melissa continued to moan with each and every nibble, bite and kiss. Jakes mouth slowly and deliberatly made its way back up the path to Melissas fabulous face.
Their eyes met as lovers for the very first time.
"Love me Jake.........love me like no one else ever could."
Jake kissed her soft, warm lips as Melissa reached between them with both hands, stroking Jakes hot, throbing cock in one hand and cradleing his huge balls in the other. She guided his massive head to her center not knowing how she would be able to take all of him.
"I want you Jake.....I want every bit of you inside me."
Jake ever so slowly pushed his head past her wet lips and into her
pussy. Melissas eyes widened at the width of Jakes cock. He was way bigger than anything she had ever experienced. As he slowly filled her with his cock Melissa felt like she would split up the middle. But then Jake withdrew and again pushed forward a little faster and a little deeper. That was better Melissa thought as Jake withdrew again, and again pushed forward a little faster and deeper.
He kept this pace up for the longest time as if he was letting her get accustomed to his size. He talked to her constantly telling her how beautiful she was and how he had waited a lifetime for this night. Before long Melissa found herself longing for the moment when Jake would drive the rest of his cock deep into her willing body.
Jake could see it in her eyes. He could feel it in her anxious hips. She pushed herself up towards him further, reaching for more cock but Jake would always pull back making her want him that much more.
Hers moans were unmistakably telling Jake everything he needed to know. He quickened his pace for ten strokes or so and then drove his eight inch cock all the way to Melissas bottom.
"Oh Jake ........Oh god Jake...."
Jake took her mouth in his and slammed her again sucking the breath from her lungs and driving himself deep in her belly.
"Ummmmmmm Jake......... fuck me baby fuck me Jake"
He pumped her again and again as she wrapped her legs around him pulling as much of his cock into her as she could. His sweat covered Melissas body as he drove her to the edge of the bed. Her head was hanging off the bed as Jake rose to his knees, grabbing her hips and slamming her time after time after time onto his rock hard cock.
"I want you in me Jake .....I want you in me forever....."
Melissa started to moan in a manner that drove Jake to the brink of orgasm. He again layed her down on the bed, took her hands in his and holding them stretched out over her head began to drive himself into her.
"Look at me Melissa let me look in those beautiful eyes when we cum baby."
Jake and Melissa exploded together in orgasmic ecstacy that they would both always remember as the night they began their.........forever.

Return Policy
Returns are for store credit only.
Clothing returns must be made within 48 hours of purchase. All other returns must be made within 10 days of purchase.
All sales are final on seasonal and sale items.
Your house is more than four walls and a roof. It's where you go to escape. Shouldn't it speak to who you are, too? Magpies has all the special touches you need to make "home sweet home" that much sweeter.
Supplies vary by store.
Clean with a mild soap, water and soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and pat dry. Never use jewelry cleaner on Trend pieces, as cleaners are too harsh and might contain abrasives. Use a polishing cloth on Precious pieces.
Wipe down pieces with a dry 100% cotton cloth to remove impurities. To maintain your lacquer finish and avoid tarnishing, keep jewelry away from water, jewelry cleaners, silver cleaners, treated polishing cloths, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, hand sanitizers and makeup. Tuck your jewelry away when you are not wearing it.
Remove jewelry before washing your hands, swimming, exercising, cleaning or applying personal body products. To maintain your jewelry's shine, avoid contact with soaks, perfumes, lotions, makeup, hair products, cleaning products and the like.
Pour a small amount of mild soap into lukewarm water and clean jewelry using a small, soft toothbrush. If dirt proves difficult to remove, soak the jewelry in clean water. This method should not be used to clean cultured freshwater pearls.
Use a silver-polishing cloth to make your silver pieces shine. Remember that this will not remove scratches.
Sterling Silver, Brass and Bronze pieces
These metals tarnish with time, but their shines can be easily restored. Avoid wearing jewelry in the shower, hot tub, sauna, ocean and swimming pool. Apply perfumes and hairspray before putting on jewelry.
Pearls, Stones and Crystals
These elements are fragile and require extra care. Wipe your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth — not a polishing cloth — when you take it off. If the pearls, stones or crystals become dull, gently pat them clean with a damp cloth and lay flat to dry. Avoid using chemicals and cleaners.
Plated Metal
Wipe jewelry lightly with a soft jewelry-polishing cloth to restore shine and keep dirt and dust from wearing away the plated layer. Avoid polishing plated pieces more often than necessary. The more you polish it, the faster the plating wears away.

Mash-Up Lecture: Dub & Sports Politics
The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio tackles Radcliffe Bailey's themes of water, blues and blood with a new lecture series, inspired by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Two passionate experts present brief talks on specific, and very different, areas of interest. After fielding audience questions, once seemingly disparate subjects connect.
This lecture features Justin Boyd, artist and lecturer at The University of Texas at San Antonio, and Leonard Moore, associate vice president, Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at The University of Texas at Austin. Hosted by Liz Lloyd, Museum Educator, Family & Teacher Programs.
Space is limited. To reserve your free tickets, call 210.805.1768 or e-mail education at mcnayart.org.
Radcliffe Bailey's exhibit, Memory as Medicine, will be shown at the McNay until September 2. Bailey is an Atlanta-based artist whose range of artistic materials echoes his African American heritage. Read more about Bailey at http://www.answers.com/topic/radcliffe-bailey#ixzz20QVzNjMK

Hmm, I'm not aware of any circumstances under which 6.5.* is less stable than 6.3.2 --- all my experience points in the other direction. Can you be more specific about what kinds of queries are causing this? If nothing else comes to mind, I'd suggest starting the postmaster with a -d level high enough to record query info in the postmaster log. regards, tom lane
