This was tasty, not amazing. I would probably make again. It made a ton, since I'm only cooking for 2, I'd probably 1/2 it next time. I followed as directed. Thought the parmesan cheese might be weird but it mellowed out the hot pepper sauce.
Spicy Lentils with Chorizo
kateford Posted: 01/26/10
Elaniah Posted: 01/10/13
It was incredibly bland but makes a ton and is good for making and taking for lunches. I added approximately 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp regular paprika, 1/2 tsp red curry powder, a tbsp chili garlic paste, and left out the cheese due to dietary restrictions. I also used red potatoes rather than the Yukon and fried the chorizo separately in order to eliminate the excess oil.

Flowers survived a death-defying car wreck while returning from his team's camp at Jekyll Island this past weekend. He was a passenger with two other family members in a vehicle that flipped over four times on Interstate 16 and ejected Flowers through the front window.
Doctors thought Flowers might have suffered severe damage to his lungs, and he was rushed to a trauma center in Savannah. His mother and younger sister were treated for non-life threatening injuries at a nearby hospital in Statesboro. All three were released from the hospital the next day.
Football has served as therapy this week for Druid Hills High School senior Alexander Flowers.
Thomas Flowers, an assistant coach at Druid Hills, said his son had only one thing on his mind when first saw him. "His very first thought was 'I still want to play football this year,' " he said. "Those were the first words out of his mouth."
Alexander has bruised lungs, muscle damage in his left leg, a sore back, and lots of bumps and bruises. Yet he has been showing up with his father at youth football camp at Druid Hills this week.
"I wake up every day happy, knowing that I get to go back to football," Flowers said. "It won't be long, maybe a week or so, until I get to go back to something I love."
The elder Flowers was driving a truck loaded with football equipment about an hour ahead of the rest of his family. After getting a message about the accident, he was in tears when he approached the scene.
"God looked after my family," he said. "A parent's worst fear is to have to bury your children. The vehicle was destroyed … for all of them to walk away and be OK is truly a miracle. God let me keep my family that day."

WHEN will people learn to wear seat belts? If he had been wearing a seatbelt, he wouldn't gave been ejected through the front window. And really, what kind of mother is OK with her kid sitting in the front seat without a seatbelt? Stupid stupid stupid.
August 1st, 2009

Mary, provide empirical evidence that seatbelts save lives. Empirical evidence does not include laws, commercials or slogans. Whenever I see or hear someone as condescending as yourself, I think of the following:
October 9th, 2009
4:44 pm
Umm, I know this is old news but I know him and he WAS wearing a seatbelt. It broke and he went through the window. Don't rush to conclusions.
November 14th, 2009
1:48 pm
hey mary u idiot that is my ex bf he was wearing a seatbelt it broke in the accident i am a sophmore / junior at druidhills and i will say that alex flowers is the coolest smartest person i know and if u dare to think that he did something stupid with his sister and mother in the car well then u are stupid alex is the best football player we have. we used to lose everygame and when he came we started winning he made me so happy when we where dating. even tho he dumped me over txting the day before my 16th birthday i will always stand up for him because it is not his fault that he got hurt so bad this was tragic for him and his family and me and all his friends and his current gf there is proof that seatbelts will break at times in a wreck and i suggest u learn more about what can happen before you go saying stupid stuff that not only offended me but offended him and all his friends and family
November 14th, 2009

now i know i shouldnt have said anything about him dumping me over txt but i will stand up for my friend and for your imformation like friend said dont rush to conclusions

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Remember the column I wrote last season, about the University of Louisville football coaching staff not being apologetic about beating lesser teams by small margins, or about winning with defense first?You can go ahead and rip it up into tiny pieces. Or, since it was an online column, you can delete it. Or print it out, then shred it, burn it, bury it or otherwise destroy it.Because if we learned nothing else during the University of Louisville's first Spring Game of Bobby Petrino's second coaching era here, it's that offense is back.The usual caveats: The Cardinals' first-team offense was working against the second-team defense, and if this team has an issue, it's with defensive depth, especially in the secondary. The defense played its basic scheme, and did not do much pressuring by design, so new starting quarterback Will Gardner found himself in the enviable position of sitting in the pocket with lots of time -- and lots of open receivers. It will seldom be this easy.But even that demonstrates that there's a new sheriff in town. Charlie Strong would never have subordinated his defense in such a way. A year ago, with Teddy Bridgewater under center, a stable of experienced receivers, and some of the same running backs Petrino unleashed last night, the first-team offense put up 34 points.Last night, it scored 56. It put up 699 yards of total offense. Before an announced crowd of 27,500, Gardner completed 32 of 37 passes for four touchdowns, one interception and 542 yards. Last season, the Cardinals had four touchdown passes of more than 40 yards. In the first three quarters of the first spring game of Petrino's second era, the Cards had three. And they would've had four had a 66-yard TD completion to DeVante Parker not been called back by penalty.This was a kid in the candy store. There was no attempt to balance the considerations."I was happy with what I saw out there," Petrino said. "Offensively, it was good to see Will in command of the offense. I like the way he carried himself. He took charge in the huddle. I like the way he delivered the football, and looked comfortable out there and for the most part was very accurate with his throws."Defensively, I would have liked to see (the first-team red defense) shut the white offense down, but I'll tell you what, L.J. Scott was really running with the football. He was very, very impressive. And we know we need to continue to work at the safety spot. And we did handicap the defense a little bit by being pretty base and not allowing a lot of pressure situations or pressure calls. I was happy with it, but we do have a long, long way to go."Petrino has a bunch of toys, and he was going to play with them. James Quick, who languished through much of his freshman season, hauled in a 62-yard TD completion on the third play from scrimmage. He got the ball on deep patterns, on crossing routes and on a reverse. He caught five passes for 152 yards. There were four 100-yard receivers. DeVante Parker caught 10 passes. Tight end Gerald Christian had 28 receptions last season. He had eight in the spring game."We were sitting in the meeting yesterday and I said, 'Let's get a good get-it-to list to No. 18,'" Petrino said, of Christian. "I felt like in the last scrimmage we didn't get the ball in his hands enough, and he's a real threat. He can catch the ball away from his body, he can elevate and make catches. To be able to threaten the middle like he can is going to help our whole offense."Running backs? Michael Dyer had 10 carries for 99 yards running with the ones in the first half, then had four carries for 41 with the twos and a running clock in the second. L.J. Scott had 13 carries for 93 yards with the second-team in the first half. He had nine carries for 33 yards with the first-team in the second.For the night, the two teams combined for 951 yards of offense. Asked about the defense, Petrino said: "We're going to certainly evaluate it. We'll evaluate every position and every guy out there, and make sure we really understand why we didn't shut the offense down every time. We'll certainly evaluate it and make some decisions off that, and we understand that we've got to get better."But of the offense, Petrino was clearly pleased, most of all with Gardner, who he said was "swimming" with the new playbook early in practice, but who looked confident and comfortable by the end of spring.He throws a nice ball, has some strength behind his passes, and if accuracy has been an issue at times in spring camp, it wasn't at all last night."That was probably as good a job as he's done going through his progressions, right down to the last pass, when he hit L.J. (Scott) out in the flat," Petrino said. "Because he wanted to throw that ball on the option route to Eli (Rogers), but the defense didn't let him so he dumped it off, which was a nice job."Petrino installed his package at the start of spring practice. He let the players spend a week learning it, then the next week came back and started all over again, installing it again. This summer, when camp convenes, they'll go through the process a third time, and he hopes at that point it is ingrained.But you could tell, he was happy with the way his offense executed."I'm excited about the playmakers that we have," he said. "We just have to continue to get better up front, and get better in quarterback play, and making sure that these playmakers know that when they're not getting the ball and their number isn't called that they give us 100 percent on that play so someone else can make the big play. I think we've gotten better at that as spring went on."As for featuring one playmaker after another, from Dyer and Scott in the running game to Parker, Christian and Quick in the passing game."It's fun to be able to do that," Petrino said. "When you have a group of receivers that you can just read the defense and let the defense dictate where we deliver the ball and have confidence, that's great for a quarterback, especially a young quarterback. . . . He learned as the game went on, and that's going to be important that he learn as games go on starting Sept. 1, and not make the same mistake twice."A night before Thunder Over Louisville, Petrino and the Cardinals made something of a statement with this spring performance. The fireworks aren't just for downtown, anymore.Copyright 2014 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

Metro Nashville Public Schools shelled out $6 million for a classroom overhaul, and leaders are now revealing more about the changes made in hopes of boosting achievement at some of the district's lowest performing schools.
The changes include everything from using fewer lectures and having elementary students set their own goals to doing away with textbooks altogether.
Teacher Jacqueline Gallimore reviewed test data Wednesday with a fourth-grader at Napier Elementary School.
"Awesome. That's something you have to celebrate," Gallimore said.
It may sound strange to some, but apparently it's working.
"They can go through each section of their test and see, 'Well, if I scored yellow the first time - and the second time I scored green - well, did I make any improvements? Yeah.' And they get really excited about the points they achieved the second time around," Gallimore said.
It's just one of several changes made at Napier after the district contracted with the consultants at Tribal Group last year, hoping to boost student achievement in some of the lowest performing Metro schools.
"They surveyed the entire school. Every teacher had to participate. They were able to give exactly how they felt," said Principal Dr. Ronald Powe.
At Napier, they are now using less paper, and more technology and conversation.
"'Do away with textbooks.' Even Tribal went as far as to say, 'Don't even use textbooks,'" Powe said.
Each student now has individualized goals, such as complete sentences or addition.
Plus, they now participate in group and project-based learning as part of the daily routine.
"Because when you have that, the retention is much greater," Powe said.
Now, the question is whether the changes will work. The goal is to increase student performance by 10 percent, and in turn earn an extra $40 million in the federal Race to the Top program.
Powe said he is confident they will make the grades.
"Yes, it is working. In fact, I just celebrated where we went from 7 percent growth with our first test to 16 percent. So you don't get that kind of growth unless you're doing something very, very special," he said.
Still, district leaders say the true test comes this spring with the state TCAP test.
Powe said they don't want to make all of these changes and then keep their fingers crossed, hoping students perform better on the TCAPs. Instead, they are doing preliminary tests several times throughout the school year, and already they have shown significant improvements.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. - Lee County will have to borrow 89-million dollars to pay for the new spring training home of the Boston Red Sox. At the same time, one commissioner is objecting to a plan to buy land for the Minnesota Twins.
"The bond companies are demanding extra money to cover accidents and cost over-runs for the stadium and practice fields," said Commissioner Frank Mann. "That is customary, so the 75-million dollar cost would appear to be greater."
Mann says he supports the Red Sox facility because visitors will pay off the bonds through their hotel taxes. "Not a single local tax dollar will go to that stadium," said Mann.
County Administrators explain: the cost of the stadium remains 75 million. However, the county must take out about 5 million in reserve funds, and it must spend roughly another million in bond issuance costs. So the total bond amount probably will be 81 million. That's what the county will bond and then re-pay. The 89 million dollar figure represents the maximum capacity of the tourist taxes, to pay back the loans over 30 years. It is very unlikely the county will need that much money for the project. The reserve fund protects the bonding companies against unforeseen accidents, disasters, cost over-runs, etc.
However, the county administrators also are pushing a plan to spend 5-million dollars to buy 15.6 acres of land, next to the Minn. Twins facility. Mann said, "That is a bad idea, I strongly oppose it, because the land is appraised by our property appraiser at 1.3 million. So paying 5 in a recession, is not good. I will not support that."
The Twins would use the extra land for more practice facilities.
Commissioners are supposed to approve the Red Sox bonds next Tuesday.

Handy Lunchtime VAT Chart
From this morning's City AM…
Tax is so confusing!!!
What if you are a fat Pickles and require pasty chips salad?
Tax doesn't have to be taxing.
Obviously It is. But it doesn't have to be.
Dave and Zero's "Kinetic Military Action" (don't call it a war!)
"They need to know that conquest is coming, that Egypt will be Islamic, and that they must pay jizya or emigrate," Morsi reportedly said.
According to the popular Egyptian website, El Bashayer, Muhammad Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate, just declared that he will "achieve the Islamic conquest (fath) of Egypt for the second time, and make all Christians convert to Islam, or else pay the jizya," the additional Islamic tax, or financial tribute, required of non-Muslims, or financial tribute.
Perhaps we could introduce simlar tax on those who profess to believe in the magic money tree
Having had a dry, sunny March followed by copious rainfall throughout April and much of May we are expecting a bumper crop of money this autumn.
Feel free to come on down and pick your own.
That is called "the national lottery"
My blood ran cold when I read the title of this blog, I immediately thought how do they know what I was up to this lunchtime?. Boaz.
If VAT applies to all hot takeaway food, but not to a hot pasty, then a pasty is not food. Which is much as I had suspected all along.
Stupid. Cameroon shouldn't have u-turned on this.
And the pressure from Ed Balls should have been referred to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioners as he clearly had a conflict of interest in seeing pies and pasties remain VAT free.
This can be evidenced by his frequent trips to Greggs and his 44 inch waist
Taxed on your earnings, savings and spending……Still someone has to pay for the workshy I suppose….
I suppose not.
I'm having a hot baked potato for lunch at home. How much VAT do I have to pay and to who?
Fill out the 6 page form that is available from the YouGov website and email to HMRC
Do not consume any produce until your VAT status has been assessed.
You should receive a reply within 6 to 8 weeks.
I think I'll have a pint instead. Do you serve hot beer, landlord?
From SMirror's @NicholasOwens - Lloyd Embley addressed shell-shocked staff standing on a desk the Mirror newsroom: "We're in this together"
— Sophy Ridge (@SophyRidgeSky) May 30, 2012
Why were all the staff standing on a desk?
They have a newsroom?
I thought they just copied out the emails that come from Unison.
Soon to be Shell suited staff
We will be advertising soon for hundreds of new pasty inspectors at a massive cost to the tax payer, who will be expertly trained with no expense spared to spot a pie warmer and/or heat lamp. We will be making spot visits to shops and will prosecute anyone warming a none VAT liable product.
We cant have tax evaders, we have to protect our revenue.
Yes, tax those bastards!
I want to retire at 50 and live like a king on my gold-plated public sector pension.
What's the VAT status of offering a girlfriend a "meat and two veg" for lunch?
Same rate as a fish supper
Depends if there's a creampie for dessert.
If its for entertainment it could affect your P11D though (benefit in kind)
I offered the wife 'meat and two veg' the other night. But it looked that good I ate it myself.
Why don't you just suck off, and just consider the gravy.
Ah!! Bisto
There will soon be a recruitment drive for pasty police. They will have the task of patrolling all food shops and deciding if offered pasties are hot or cold and therefore their VAT status.
Their terms and conditions of employment will emerge from Brussels, as their human rights will be affected should they get too fat, or develop high cholesterol in carrying out their onerous and dangerous duties.
Re U turns: I cannot understand why holiday caravans – sorry IM-mobile homes should NOT attract VAT at the standard rate. Unlike pasties, a holiday caravan at Walmington-on-Sea, or even worse, Jaywick, is not one of life's essentials.
I will never buy a pasty again.
To whom it may concern :
You gonna tell me why Womb-Raider woz pulled , babes ??
Did ya get a phone call or somethin ??
Needs to know so I doesn't make the same mistake next time .
Ta .
Maybe he shit it when he got a real BBC take down notice
Grow up, E.
You shat all over his less funny comment. Take a full refund if you disagree with the T&Cs.
Oh, OK.
On a practical note , SC : Is we still meetin up this eve at The Crown Tavern for a quick half-gallon , honey ???
Shhhh. I've told you not to call me that on here. Yes, the wife has her taekwondo class from 1800 until 2000 so I should have time to
drown my sorrows down a few with you.
*whispers* OK. Eight o'clock sharp then. Bit late for thai quon doe , ain't it ?? Shhh.
Miss Quon Doe seems to be very popular lately. Any of you boys know if she still as demanding? Think I just might have to err….. pay her a visit – would that be VAT deductible Chancellor?
HMRC currently recruiting Hot Food Inspectors, £26k per annum with London weighting.
F'ckwits, the lot of them.
Must be capable of compiling Pie Charts.
"And what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a pastie inspector"
More like a bunch of Nazis
Give over they will spend thousands on fucking focus groups to come up with some none job name first.
This could help reduce the unemployment figures amongst certain minority groups. Shirt lifter pastie types with a GCSE in maths. But they will need the slim ones; the fat ones would be scoffing more than hot pies! OOOHH I'd love a job like that. This is why we really need a least two or three focus groups to sort this mess out.
Doesn't salad also get taxed if it is in some way a restaurant?
All eat in food is VAT liable if the establishment is VAT registered
Ha, if it's this complicated for a lunchtime snack, imagine what it's like for a business trying to work out all the rules on leases, employee NI, dividends and hiring contractors.
The Treasury needs to get a grip.
The Treasury needs a good dose of salts to bring on a giant clear out.
Did someone call for me?
They've forgotten about "what to do if you fancy a cold, cellophane wrapped pasty from tesco." Admittedly not a realistic option.
None of that is VAT liable or indeed any TAX liable, as that all goes offshore
We will soon be launching a VAT/Lunch automated free phone number (premium rate) to assist consumers.
However at this time we are awaiting the launch of BT's new phone with more numbers than 0-9 as this does not provide enough options for our system.
Thank you for your patience, and in the meantime can we suggest you skip lunch as there is an obesity crisis anyway.
Don't you mean government funded and sponsored, obesity crisis?
The fu**ing accountants will be loving this!!!
I love Angelina Jolie. My favourite film of hers is Lara Crotch: Poon Raider.
He makes a joke about a jerry can at 8.10.
Where do we stand on curry pasties?
hot hot
cold hot
As anything curried is for the multicultural enrichers it will of course not be liable but only if Halal
I'm planning only ten thousand more u-turns.
Sorry make that 5000
Sorry to be serious. But if he did any bloody planning, he wouldnt do the u-turns.
ie: THINK about what you actually want to do and whether its practical. Work out the flak you'll get and whether you are prepared to take it on the chin. Work out whether similar but less flakworthy plans would be ok.
and work out how to sell it to the public. think of how the opposition/bbc will react and get retaliation in first.
Saw this on the way to work this morning, went for the Tesco meal deal.
Actually, they've just closed a loophole. Someone, I think probably Greggs but not sure, argued in court that keeping cooked food warm in a hot plate was a health and safety issue, not a takeaway issue – which is clearly utter bollocks. They're kept in a hot cabinet so that people can buy them to eat hot as takeaway food (it's not just pasties; it's sausage rolls, bacon and cheese turnovers, pies, etc). Court found for Greggs or whoever, and convenience stores up and down the land suddenly got a much bigger margin on cabinet takeaway food – nobody I know reduced their prices (convenience store owner here).
This is completely different to rotisserie chicken, cooked, wrapped and put on a deli counter – because people buy those to take them home for their tea. Not to sit in the park in lunch hour and get filthy trying to eat the greasy things with their fingers.
Not that I'm in favour of VAT – or its hopeless overcomplications, since I fall victim to many of them – but even as a loser in this, I can see the reporting is ludicrous and a loophole has actually been closed.
Fucking ridiculous, typical U-turn Dave bowing to BBC/Guardian/Labour pressure, not a supporter of taxing but if you are make it simple and straight foreword.
Wasn't this the whole point of the changes in VAT, that they have been trying to get rid of these anomalies for many years. Perhaps someone should try and get Labour to promise to remove VAT from all these food products if they object to one type of food being subject to VAT.

Good Questions: What Is a Good Height to Hang My Lamp?
Hello AT,
I just moved into a loft with 11ft ceilings.
I have a George Nelson bubble lamp that I want to hang from the ceiling over the coffee table.
What is a good height to hang it?
Thanks! Michael
Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to:
Link To All Good Questions
21 Comments
I'd say, bottom of lamp somewhere between 7 and 8 feet.
I think the best way to do this is to feel out the best height for this particular furniture arrangement in this particular room. There is no magic height for hanging lights that is ideal for every situation.
a george nelson bubble lamp would thereby complete the *I shop at design within reach-look* you seem to be going for. too much mid-century, my friend. it's overkill. but if you don't give a hoot, that's kool....hang the lamp so it's eight feet off the ground=three feet from the ceiling....
how about this height?
Fjorder - what's wrong with this look if that's his style? I would kill to have this place, but I have to settle for Target and Ikea knockoffs. oh well.
You know, the minute I saw the pic for this posting I knew some wiseguy/girl would have to rag on this guy for having a MCM decor. Geez, leave it alone for once! How high to hang the lamp? Higher than a snob's swelled head.
Hang so the bottom of the light is about 34" from the tabletop.
greer - over the coffee table?! Someone is bound to hit it.
I would really play around a try different heights before settling on one. This is easier if you do it with a friend. They can hold it up at different heights from a ladder while you check the view from different areas of the room. Also, consider views like from the door or furniture from across the room.
If anything, don't hang anything too low. I recently hit my Arco lamp knockoff and broke the bulb. Good thing I had it off.
As for being too Mid Century--do whatever your heart tells you. Heck, I have 3 Nelson saucer lamps and I feel no shame. Let the snotty ones wallow in their own self-absorbed, self-generated snottiness.
First off, I don't think you should hang it over the coffee table because that doesn't seem like it would look good visually.
I WOULD, however, hang it to the right of that nice-looking fireplace or something like that. If you do that, you can either hang it lower or higher.
P.S. Hang it just low enough so that Fjorder can hit his/her head on it!
Why does everyone immediately say that you've shopped at DWR when they see MCM design. There are many, MANY high-end stores that cary these licensed products.
You can't beat those classic pieces. Good for you.
Some say it's unimaginative; i say it's just good taste.
So what if it's kinda predictable. The pieces are great looking and functional.
A dim controlled light source in the center of the conversation area is a good thing.
Up light (candles) work well. Down-lit lighting makes for an unflattering looking crowd. The suspended light here will also surprisingly chop up the flow of the clean lined room.
I recommend you try an alternative.
I would hang the Nelson fixture over the small table in the back. I think the room looks more spacious and open without a ceiling fixture in the middle of it. Love the Eames furniture.
I agree with GHB. I would hang the light over the small table against the brick wall.
People who make comments like Fjorder drive me crazy. I love the furniture sold by DWR - and many other stores, as orangejuice mentioned.
Have you considered hanging it over the metal-based table just to the right of the sofa? Then you could hang it dramatically low.
I'm jealous!!! I want your furniture!!
I registered just to say that Tome's comment gave me the best laugh of the week.
Here is a page from the Rejuvenation website that addresses light height.
Oops! I thought the question was about hanging it over a dining table. What can I say, I have a cold...obviously not operating at my best this week.
I agree with orangejuice. I don't think hanging it over the coffee table will look right. To one side of the fireplace would look best, I think. Or what about over that small round table towards the back of the room, is that your dining table?
Yikes! Believe me folks I LURVE every piece in Michael's joint—and I concur that each MCM piece is a high-water mark in design. But all in one room—I dunno. Each piece seems to be fighting the others for attention. Like i mentioned in my original post "if you don't give a hoot, that's kool."

- Culture: blade - Italian, Milan (with Ottoman decorations), mount - Ottoman, vessel - Morocco
- Dated: 16th Century
- Material and Technique: blade of iron, forged, etched and engraved grip of iron, wood, horn
- Measurement: total length of 107.7cm; blade 93.9cm; weight 1817g
Elector Christian I of Saxony received the saber as a gift in 1587 by Francesco I de 'Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. This weapon is one in many respects to the peculiarities of the Turkish Chamber. First and foremost, the impressive appearance is mentioned, which is caused by the massive, ornate edged blade.
This saber is made of very different work areas. While the vessel is from Morocco and the typical form there corresponds with strongly angled work and s-shaped quillons, the blade is an Italian work. She has been a chosen, and was crowned Pi marked accordingly in Milan.
The blade was then decorated in the Orient. The etched and partly engraved decoration consists of medallions with stripes and scrolls, flowers and leaves. The middle stripe is a Spanish inscription found in a secret script-like character.
How did this strange mixture of different origins is not yet clear. Could possibly play in the events following the reconquest of Spain by 1492. Many Spanish Jews left the country after the conquest of Granada and moved some of North Africa in the dominion of the Ottomans.

Chapter 105 Reviews
Wow, this was really hard to write. I've never written that just based on touch and not sight. Well, I did it and I hope you like it. :)
I woke up with a splitting headache. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why, and then I remembered. I placed my hand to my head, flinching at my own touch. I felt something sticky coming out of the bandage. I sat up and my head was spinning. I put my hands beside me on the bed, trying to keep my balance. After a while, I stood up. I took a few steps before falling to the floor.
I shook my head and tried to set up, but I felt hands on my shoulder, keeping me down.
"Don't sit up." I heard. It was Frank. When did he get here?
"You've been out for 2 hours," he said, placing a wet wash rag to my head. I guess I was still bleeding. I shouldn't be though. It should have stopped by now.
"I think I should go to the hospital," I said to him. He laughed.
"We've already been there and back. I heard you fall, and me and your mom took you to the hospital. They said you have a concussion. You got some stitches too." he told me. I couldn't believe it. I was really out...
"Great, more stitches..." I sighed. I groaned and placed my hands on my forehead. My head was still killing me.
"I have some pain killers here that the doctor gave you. Do you want some?" he asked me.
"Yea. I feel like my head's going to explode," I said. He handed me a couple of them and a glass of water.
"What happened?" He asked me. I shook my head.
"I woke up, and I was still bleeding. I was going to go tell mom, but I passed out apparently. I don't remember anything from then on," I told him. I felt something cold against my foot. I knew exactly who it was.
"She's here to say sorry for tripping you," Frank said. I chuckled and patted the bed beside me for her to come up. I felt her jump onto the bed and climb up beside me. I rubbed her head and she licked my hand.
"Gerard, about last night... I would never take pity on you because... Wow, that sounds bad. Um..."
"Frank, It's okay. I understand what you mean. And, thank you. You have no idea what that means to me..." I said, sitting up a little. I wanted to be closer to him. It just felt so right being with him. He didn't make me feel like a freak and he didn't treat me like one. I really like this guy. He's so sweet, so kind.
I felt his hand on my knee as I sat up straight. My heart started pounding even harder than it was before. I moved closer to him and he did the same thing. He moved his hand up my leg, making me shiver. I knew he felt it because I heard him chuckle. I smiled and leaned closer to him.
He put his other hand on my shoulder, signaling that I was right in front of him. He moved his hand up to my chin, rubbing his thumb along my bottom lip. I closed my eyes, quivering under his touch. I knew he had a smirk on his face.
I took his hand in mine and laced our fingers together. I shifted even closer to him; I could feel his hot breath on my face. As soon as I got the courage, I went for it. I pressed my lips to his, well it was more like his chin.
Frank laughed and corrected me. He moved his lips along with mine and he brought his free hand up to my face. I could feel him running his tongue along my bottom lip. I think he knew what he wanted. Before I let him in, I puled him down on top of me and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
Before I allowed him in, I heard my door open.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" I heard my mom say. Frank jumped off of me and stood up. I heard the door shut and my mom walk off.
"I'll go talk to her," Frank said before he left.

The final Scion limited edition vehicle of the year lands in dealerships next month. The Scion xB Release Series 4.0 gets doused in Maziora Torched Penny paint, a color-shifting finish that changes depending on your viewing angle and/or how light plays off the car's surface (similar to the Mystichrome finish made available on the 2004 SVT Mustang Cobra) . In this case, the colors morph into shades of brown, bronze, and gold.
The color has been used in Japan already on various show cars and on a JDM special-edition bB, and while the tricky hue clearly won't be for everyone, it is definitely interesting. We're sure that Scion will have no trouble finding 2500 takers for the multi-colored miniwagon. In addition to the deluxe paint, the Release Series 4.0 receives some visual aids in the form of a rear spoiler, Modellista grille, and rear bumper protector. Everything's color-keyed, of course. Inside, the floormats tell the occupants that yes, this is a Release Series Scion. It also gets multicolor dash lighting, a new shift knob (on cars with manual transmissions), and a numbered plaque.
The cost of this brown chameleon is the xB base price, $14,030, plus an additional $1,930 (automatic) or $1,980 (manual).

News - Afghanistan
President Hamid Karzai and his US counterpart Barack Obama have agreed to speed up slightly the schedule for moving Afghanistan's security forces into the lead across the country, with US forces shifting fully to a support role.
The two leaders said in a joint press conference on Friday that Obama has also agreed to place battlefield detainees under the control of the Afghan government.
"Starting this spring, our troops will have a different mission -- training, advising, and assisting Afghan forces. It will be a historic moment and another step toward full Afghan sovereignty," Obama told reporters.
This brings the full transition forward by about three months to the start of spring instead of summer.
After meeting Karzai, Obama said that the Nato forces would have a "very limited" role in the country after 2014 and that Washington had achieved its primary goal of "decapitating" Al Qaeda.
Karzai said he was pleased by the agreement, in part because it means that by spring there will be no foreign troops in Afghan villages.
"International forces, the American forces, will be no longer present in the villages... it will be the task of the Afghan forces to provide for the Afghan people in security and protection," he said.
The US has around 66,000 troops now in Afghanistan. It has proposed to keep between 6,000 and 15,000 troops in Afghanistan after 2014 to continuing pursuing terrorists and training Afghan security forces.
Friday's meeting was the first between the two presidents since Obama was re-elected in November.
Meanwhile, notable changes in the US national security team who deal with Karzai and the war are afoot with the some high-level departures and appointments.
The US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta are both expected to leave their posts within weeks. Obama nominated Senator John Kerry as the nation's top diplomat and former Senator Chuck Hagel to lead the Pentagon.
Karzai also met with Clinton and Panetta on Thursday during which the Pentagon chief offered an optimistic outlook of the war's progress.
"After a long and difficult path, we finally are, I believe, at the last chapter of establishing an Afghanistan, a sovereign Afghanistan, that can govern and secure itself for the future," Panetta said.
