- Great all around!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014Took my son here for his 25th birthday. He is a chef and was very impressed with all aspects of the meal. The server was exceptional as well. Will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional Place!JazzyBunchDined on 9/26/2014We came here to celebrate a birthday and what an amazing time we had! The service was outstanding, the food melts in your mouth, and the ambiance was sensational for a romatic evening!Special Features:
- Delicious & romantic...GD4FdDined on 9/26/2014Wonderful experience on our first visit! The food was terrific, atmosphere was cozy and romantic and the staff was excellent. They even gave us a handwritten card for our anniversary, along with rose petals on our table. Truly felt special!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wildfishamw42Dined on 9/26/2014Excellent waitstaff. Food, no better than Cappy's for twice the price. VERY noisy. Difficult to carry on a conversation at the table.Special Features:
- rtamoVIPDined on 9/24/2014Excellent food and service! We could have not been more pleased.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good serviceMaskedmanDined on 9/23/2014Wait staff very good. Managers roaming all the time asking if things were good. It was clear they cared.Special Features:
- Discriminating DinerDines4BusinessDined on 9/23/2014My wife and I are well traveled and have eaten in wonderful restaurants. Wildfish is easily in the overall 90 percentile. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, adequate portions, and delicious. The food quality and service quality was top notch. It would be difficult to find better food or service and the ambiance is very nice. We've eaten in more expensive restaurants but not better. A very good experience that I would recommend to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and atmosphere were greatLindatecDined on 9/20/2014We had a variety of food and it was all excellent. Soup was outstanding as was the salad and steak One of my favorite placesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale sea foodRyanDined on 9/19/2014Service=excellent. Waiter was knowledgable, friendly, and attentive. Ambience = better for a group. Stylish interior but very loud...probably not a place to go for a nice, quiet romantic meal. Food=very good...4/5. Started with the lobster bisque which was just ok though. Too be honest, expected much better flavor for the bisque from a high end seafood restaurant. Had the ahi tuna (rare, seared) for the entree which was very good and is driving my 4/5 rating. Came with some avocado and mango which paired very nicely with the tuna. Definitely worth a try if you like seafood....just bring the wallet as it'll probably run you at least $100-130 for a coupleSpecial Features:
- AnnettePickyEaterSADined on 9/16/2014Great food, excellent service but it can get a little loud. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- 47yearsDined on 9/16/2014For that special anniversary we went to the Wild Fish. We had a super evening. The service was excellent without being overbearing. We had halibut and sword fish cooked to perfection. The fresh wild mushroom salad was a pleasure to eat. We did not eat inside because the noise was too much, and we were very happy to be outside on the terrace where we could talk. We definitely recommend that restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great rendezvous in NW San AntonioCaughtagoodoneDined on 9/15/2014We drove down from Austin, rendezvous'd with people coming in from Medina and someone else coming from S. E. San Antonio in Rush hour Traffic. The Wildfish location was good for all of us....easy to get to right off 1604 with plenty of parking....good service... Wonderful menu...and nice atmosphere.Special Features:
- The Spot!!!CurtisDined on 9/14/2014Wildfish Seafood Grille is truly an amazing restaurant. The staff were warm and inviting from the time I stepped in the door, throughout my evening, and including my departure. I enjoyed the Halibet Filet with Broccoli and a baked potato, a meal which was one of fine dining, generously portioned, and well worth the price. Compliments to the chef! I look forward to enjoying another night as a guest of Wildfish Seafood Grille. I am thankful for the pleasure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JUST EXCELLENT!!RafasamDined on 9/14/2014This is a neighborhood gem!!! The food is amaizing, all you choose from "La Carte" is delicious!! I really recomend The North Atlantic Lemmon Sole, it's a Parmesan Crusted Sole fish that you wont have anywhere like in Wild Fish, Expectacular!!!!! The bar is very nice, good for hanging out with friends and meet people, also very romantic for a special occasion. GREAT!!!Special Features:
- Always a good day!MobtrDined on 9/13/2014No matter what kind of day the service and food are always so good that your day has to get better. Must haves are the pineapple upside down caked warmed by pouring lit rum on it to toast the outer sides while the middle remains soft anf moist...should also have the lobster fried rice and my wifes favorite fladh fried cold water lobster tail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kinda disappointedstevenangie05Dined on 9/13/2014This was my husband's and I second visit. First visit was our anniversary and it was perfect. Our waitress was Marissa (?) Who was great and the food was wonderful. So when we had to spend the weekend in San Antonio, we knew we had to go back. Unfortunately, our service was not so great. I asked the waiter for tea with no lemon he brought me tea with extra lemon. Three times!!! Took forever to take our order and rarely checked on us. Our crab rice was already getting cold when it was served. Much better hot but good. Hopefully our waiter was new and he will get better. But we probably won't go back there the next time we are in San Antonio. At least for awhile. When it's 100 plus for two to eat the service has to be as good as the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazingly wonderful experienceDonnaDined on 9/13/2014We were so lucky to have an extremely experienced and knowledgeable server who gave good recommendations in wine and entrees. The oysters were superb! A great place to entertain our out of town guests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticMrBoatVIPDined on 9/13/2014Even if you had a disappointing experience in the past, Wildfish is now operating at a high level. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday partyTgsul09Dined on 9/7/2014Wildfish made my birthday very special! The whole family enjoyed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wildfish Saved our AnniversaryTS29Dined on 9/5/2014We had planned to go to Silo Elevated but were greeted poorly and we were seated next to the kitchen (we saw over 15 open tables). As we had made a reservation at Silo 10 days in advance, we were so disappointed that we couldn't hear a word from each other or the wait staff. So we left Silo and came to Wildfish Seafood Grille. The atmosphere was very enjoyable. While there was noise, as it was a busy Saturday night, it was energetic. Not like at unpleasant Silo where all we heard were clamoring dishes. The food was very good. When the wait staff heard it was our anniversary, they decorated our table with rose petals and threw in a nice bananas foster for desert. It was an enjoyable evening and we will go back for a meal out on the patio!Special Features:
- Wonderful experiencePatti09Dined on 9/5/2014This was our first time to try the restaurant and it will not be our last. We had a wonderful meal and attentive service even though the restaurant was busy on a Friday night. The staff was very friendly. We were close to the bar and the noise level was a little high but we could still have a conversation. The crab cake appetizer was excellent as was the swordfish.Special Features:
- Meal acceptable, no plans to returnTeDigoDined on 9/3/2014I had heard good things about this restaurant so, finding ourselves in loopland at dinner time we decided to try it. If not for the front patio, I do not think we would have stayed. Interior is post-modern cavern, dimly lit and, with all hard surfaces, with high noise level when there is a good crowd. The front patio was pleasant. Service was reasonable. The food was good, but not outstanding. The wine selection was not particularly challenging and the markups over retail were fairly steep from 5x (for lower priced bottles) to 3x for higher. All-in-all, it was an OK meal, with prices reflective of its high rent location but nothing special.Special Features:
- DFloveDFloveDined on 9/3/2014My wife and I had a fantastic time for her birthday. The service was exceptional, the staff was great. Your manager Chris Madere took care of us like we were family. Our waiters were very prompt, attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better night to spend with my wife on her birthday. The food was a great value for the money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, bring a jacketRichSTexasDined on 9/3/2014We had 6 people in our party. The main courses were outstanding, everything from steak to tuna to mac & cheese (for the kids). The side dishes were only average, but the desserts were top notch. The restaurant was freezing cold so bring a sweater or light jacket. I will eat here again, and would recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SplendidDunbardonDined on 9/3/2014Wildfish Seafood Grille is an "A" list find. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and very attentive without being annoying..very first rate. My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversay and this was the perfect spot for us. We started our evening with a bottle of champagne that was perfectly iced. The Red Fish is delcious and perfectly prepared. In recognition of our anniversary, the management treated us to a wonderful Bananas Foster which was flambed at our table. This restaurant has won us over, it's a little pricey, but worth it and we'll definitely return with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Anniversary Experiencefood4lifeDined on 9/2/2014We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Wildfish and were so glad we did. Everything was wonderful. I normally love steak or lobsters but decided on the calamari & salt/pepper shrimp appetizers (excellent!) and the Parmesan fish which was fabulous. Two can share the sides. Don't leave without having the scrumptious bananas foster paired w/butter pecan ice cream! He doesn't like bananas but devoured the rum cake! I would go again for the fish & loaded baked potato (the small one feeds 2 people) and the desert alone! They put rose petals on our table and every worker knew that we were celebrating an anniversary and people dropped by all evening wishing us a happy anniversary. Very Special! Definitely will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- First visit but not the lastTxchikDined on 8/30/2014Very good food, the fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. The sides were generous and very tasty. Our waiter did not interrupt our dinner every 15 minutes asking if everything was ok, which we appreciated. She also recommended an excellent wine. Dessert was so good and super large portions, we may share next time. So, the not so good, it was really dark in there, we had to use our phones for lights and we weren't the only ones doing that. It was also surprisingly noisy and loud, really loud. There were no boisterous people, I guess just the acoustics amplified sound. I also would like to see some vegetarian main dishes. Otherwise, excellent food and we will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Not an original game idea, but my take on it ( with a star trek twist )
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 5, 2005
Absolutely amazing
That was one of the best Flash games I have ever-played. It lacked absolutely nothing. It is now my second favorite flash game of all time :D
I finished it, all 10 levels, but my score didn't match up to the high scores :( Either way, I loved it. Great job.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 4, 2005
PLayed it 3 times some mouse skill :d
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 22, 2005
great game, funny theme.
haha merging companies to make huge ones. and i don't know what people are complaining about, it's not that difficult.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 7, 2005
Great Game!
That was an awesome game and levels 2-7 were tough but man, once I got to level 8 and up all the levels became completely easy. Like, all the ships were once colour in level 10 except for a few other ones. Anyway, I beat the game with 33038 points so thats a high for me. I hope someone will show me a higher score.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 4, 2005
Wow really addicting got bored though.
I got to level nine but as soon as I got to it I got bored so I quiet. It need better music I had to turn off my speakers becasue the music was repetitive and annoying. Very good game though i really liked it good job. One of the best games I played so far.

FrostIron Fic Recs
Here's my frostiron rec list, updated and resorted in January 2014! I've added word counts and sorted by length past the first section. For other ships and gen fics, check out my phlint and other lists.
Ok first section I'm going to do here is Not Slash/Pre-Slash, otherwise known as the sneaky evil cookies I like to use to lure people over to the side of FrostIron.
Like A Prayer - this is a fun one. Basically it's a fully formed FrostIron story but without the romance. [14k]
The Linchpin - A fascinating one-shot in which Loki contemplates Tony and what he's learned from their battles. [ficlet]
Calculated Insanities - I love it when Tony and Loki snark at each other. I love it when they annoy each other by getting in each other's brain spaces. Pretty much this has everything I love about frostiron without the actual frostiron. Science-based brotps ftw! [28k]
Making Friends - Loki and Tony become buds. This is where my most mischiefy tactics come in because the sequel to this, More Than Friends, is totally slash. [series 41k]
The rest of the stories are now sorted by length! Some of them are quite explicit; all are rated accordingly on their respective host sites.
Starred stories are new in the latest update.
Friends Don't Let Friends - a truly must-read ficlet in which Hulk figures prominently. [1k]
Wooer Wooed – A very fun G-rated stand-alone. [7k]
The Liars Alliance - I guess Avengers didn't happen in this one; the characters meet for the first time after negotiating an arranged marriage. Strange but very cute. [7k]
*of Trust and Necessity - Kind of tropey but incredibly well-executed ABO frostiron. Loki lies to everyone, including himself, and it's beautiful. [10k]
All the Way Down – This is intense and strange, and has Pepper in it too. In a polyamorous way. It isn't marked complete but each update seems self-contained. [11k]
Where The Heart Is - a lovely origin story for the Smartass family scenario which keeps movie canon. I love that about it. [13k]
Liar's Facade - For some reason all my favorite fem!Lokis have names beginning with R (I think it might have something to do with the right/left dynamic). Loki hiding in plain sight as the other side of his own coin is always so pretty. [14k]
We Shall Have Peace - this is like one of those last episodes of an anime where everything ends up wayyy out there from the whole rest of the show. Also Steve is the main character. So yeah. [14k]
Tech Support - This is the kind of lighthearted crack-played-straight that I absolutely live for. Read this if you at all relate. [15k]
The Book of Longing – the first alternate ending fic that pulled me in before revealing itself. Quite romantic. Not marked complete but seems like a good ending. [15k]
How To Win A Game Of Tag - I don't know how to describe this better than the title already does. [19k]
xE rre - I can't even describe this; uh, my Bruce muse loves it. [19k]
Unsure and a Hundred - a realistic distancing from the characters' raw emotions unusual in fan fiction. These characters have masks. [23k]
Signals in Courtship - I love ones like this that tread close to crack but actually pull off ridiculous things with a certain amount of seriousness. This is just so much fun. [23k]
Here Comes Your Man series - The whole soul mates trope is great for fluff but it can also be played for maximum angst, apparently. Brace yourselves. [25k]
Desiderata - another forced dynamic story. An interesting way to change up the pairing. [30k]
Debt - A great one. I love the subtle use of images and phrases that draws parallels between the two characters here. [33k]
The Lightning Strike - This has the honor of being the first ABO fic to enter my rec list. They can be problematic but I really like the way this one handles it - the situation starts out reeeeally bad and then just gets healthier and happier the whole story. I enjoyed immensely. [34k]
Halo – Don't usually go for alternate movie events but OMG the WORDS in this thing it is like HEROIN. A bit sharp edged for how cracky it is. [35k]
Blinding - This is some brain-twisting shit right here. It's exhausting and a little disturbing and very, very beautiful, once you begin to understand it. Kinda like Loki. [36k]
Grass and Gold - This is beautiful but the ending is painfully ambiguous. To people who are unbearably sad when they finish this story, I kind of want to recommend reading this, and then my story Better Teachers, just so you get some of the same kind of pain and then a nice ending. [37k]
For Your Lies Only - A froz3npizza fic in which one small change (on the part of Natasha during IM2) leads to a reversal of the hero/villain dynamics between Tony and Loki (and you'll never guess who ends up on top!) [42k]
(The Shortest Distance) Between Two Points - I love the texture of this world and the way it plays between personal and galactic concerns. [47k]
An Unfortunate Event in Time and 20,160 Minutes – This is all good but chapter 4 of that second one is super amazing. Almost suggest reading it standalone. [49k]
Theorems - a series that goes all over the spectrum, really. They have such lovely brains. A delicious mixture of math and dirtiness. Oh, and heartbreak. Can't forget that. Second story's cracky, third is angsty. last one is unfinished. [55k]
Born This Way - This series is a bag full of juicy lemons (most of the sections are explicit) but it also has a really good plot. This is now complete. [55k]
Two Sides of the Coin is a fun one, especially if you can't get enough of Sherlock saying "Bored, John" over on BBC. [58k]
The Loki Problem, followed by Deeds – Surprisingly touching and true to character for such silliness. [62k]
Journey to the Past - says on the box that it's an Anastasia AU but it really feels more like Firefly universe with Anastasia plot elements. Works out well I think. And really anything by melonbutterfly is fabulous. [67k]
Sleep Until the Sun Goes Down - Wow. I really like this for its real sense of the passage of time and the changing of attitudes. Loki is an idiot, but what else is new? [78k]
Stolen Relics - I love the theories, the attention to detail, and the stranger's perspective on Midgardian culture. This is very in character without being too heavy. [79k]
Off The Record Has some snarktasticness but then gets really angsty and then has an exciting beautiful shiny ending! [103k series]
the Mortality series, of which the first is classic, from the pre-Avengers frostiron fandom! The most recent story is still in progress. [103k]
Say Goodbye to Yesterday - I have a weakness for plot devices like this. A marvelous time loop fic, and my third on this list by melonbutterfly. [121k series]
Tricks of the Trade This is radiant with sheer intelligence. Pretty much my favorite thing ever and the story is now complete. [160k]
Hand in Mine, series starting with Heart and Hurt - this is all very painful and full of misunderstandings but it is SO EXTREMELY WORTHWHILE. [175k]
Power Ballad series (froz3npizza) Stoner Tony reminds me of Heinlein's Man from Mars and the whole thing just kind of has this utopian vibe that makes me feel better about life. Most recent story is unfinished. [177k]
Are You There, God Of Mischief? It's Me, Tony - oh wow this was hard to decide about because it's so funny and snarky in the beginning and then everything goes horribly wrong. It's truly marvelous in many ways. I recommend this BUT there is dubcon that disturbs some people, and the ending is not entirely happy. So, read at your own risk and then cry like a baby. The sequel is unfinished. [181k series]
*The New Management - A what-if where Loki wins. Very hot, very intense plotwise, and overall just very satisfying. What a fic should be. [214k]
Poetic Justice - The great thing about this fic is how you keep trying to settle into the situation but it keeps pulling the rug out from under you and revealing how far apart the characters' perspectives still are. [311k]
Bend Around the Wind - I recommend this to anyone who likes space stories (Star Trek and the like) and has a big chunk of time to kill. It's pretty amazing. [403k]
Those are my faves for now; I'll be keeping an eye out for more.
I've dropped a few recs over time because the list was getting unwieldy but you can see a lot more fics I've enjoyed at my AO3 bookmarks page (a lot more ships!) and ff.net favorites page (don't judge me by the ancient stuff on this account!).
You might notice I don't include any high school settings, most other complete AU's or amnesia fics. They're just not my cup of tea although I've heard there are great ones.

During the Obama-thon that occurred yesterday on the Sunday morning news shows, I caught the President's performance/interview on This Week (see the video here). Most interesting to me was this quote from the President:
"Now there are some who are, setting aside the issue of race, actually I think are more passionate about the idea of whether government can do anything right," he told ABC News. "And I think that that's probably the biggest driver of some of the vitriol."The interesting aspect of this quote was, as I spoke about in my last post, the way the President defines those who oppose his policies. He states that our fundamental concern is "...whether government can do anything right..." and that our distrust of all things government is the reason for the heated opposition.
This is a brilliant, if dishonest, political maneuver. By defining the opposition's anger as a mistrust of all government he at once makes the opposition seem unreasonable and lowers his standard of proof. The clear antidote to this mistrust is to scream at the top of your lungs about the things government has done well and, through analogy, suggest that government can tackle this problem too. At the end of the day, it seems to the average viewer that the President is being reasonable and it is the opposition who is being ludicrous.
However, things aren't always as they seem. Importantly, there are two difficulties with this vision of the debate: (a) it buys the President's viewpoint without question and (b) it ignores the history of government involvement with Healthcare and the way that these plans have been sold. So that said, we need ponder what we are really debating and ask, can we trust how the administration is selling Healthcare reform?
What are we really debating?
Contrary to the President's view, I think the fundamental question the opposition asks is not "whether government can do anything right," but rather, "what can government do well?" The opposition to Obama's healthcare plan is not hell bent on anti-government protest simply for the sake of anti-government protest. Rather, the vast majority of us are concerned because the government does not have an encouraging history of reforming, performing or regulating healthcare in tension with economic realities (see this tragic example of a Federally run hospital).
This isn't to say that government - and the Federal government in particular - is bad at everything. It is simply to suggest that the government is not well suited to being a healthcare provider (for these reasons). The Federal government certainly can do somethings that will improve the current situation. For instance, eliminating waste and fraud in Medicare, pressuring states to eliminate protections of the monopolized insurance agencies and even enacting consumer protections on insurance advertisements seem to be good ideas. If you told most conservatives about these ideas, they would agree to with them (most people are in favor of saving money, more competition and better information). The difficulty that Conservatives have is when the Federal government begins to mandate behavior for all, eliminate insurance options, and use Federal monies to subsidize poor alternatives and risky options (all of these are in the present Obama proposal).
In essence, this isn't a debate about whether government can do anything. Rather, it is a debate about what government should be doing. By suggesting otherwise the President is politically manipulating the conversation and falsely portraying the opposition as unreasonable.
So, why not have a debate about what government should be doing? Why not actually address the oppositions concerns and talk candidly about the role of government in our lives? Perhaps because when people recognize the full scope of this government oriented plan, they get a little queasy.
Can we trust what the Administration is saying about Healthcare?
The President has taken enormous freedoms with the concept of "truth" in trying to sell healthcare, including most recently yesterdays dubious assertion that an "excise tax" is not a "tax". However, the politics of telling people what they want to hear and dealing with the consequences later is nothing new. Interestingly, people have misrepresented figures before in hopes of passing monumental Healthcare reform.
LBJ suppressed the true costs of Medicare in order to get the program passed through the Senate. While pretending to be open and honest about what the program would cost, he duped the Senate into passing what is arguably the second most burdensome tax on American workers. As an expert on the presidency of LBJ opines:
"We believe, after looking at the evidence, my co-author [David Blumenthal] and I, that if the true cost of Medicare had been known — if Johnson hadn't basically hidden them — the program would never have passed..."Today, we have the assessments of the CBO to estimate how costly plans will be. Unfortunately, the government's projections are rarely reliable. It's most recent projection - Cash for Clunkers - was off by only 100% (estimating the program would last twice as long as it actually did). The consequences of this mistaken projection are still being felt.
This isn't necessarily to say that there is malfeasance behind these projections. There probably isn't. It is to say that projections are just that: projections. Like any other unknown, we should not be making huge policy decisions based on dubious numbers.
The bottom line here: based on political practice and recent history, we cannot trust the numbers coming out of Washington.
To Conclude
What should reasonable people attend to? I would advocate common sense.
What has the Federal government done well in the past? Then, let's let them continue to do that.
What has Federal government done poorly in the past? Then, let's keep them from fouling it up again.
Arguing for a plan within this framework is reasonable, but the President insists on distorting the debate. Nor does the Obama plan fall within these common sense boundaries. It imposes unnecessary government expenditures and control over the lives of average Americans in the vain hope that the Federal government can become instantly better at things it has routinely failed to do well.
For this simple reason, common sense conservatives are opposed to the President's plan and refused to be duped by political rhetoric and "cunning". My only hope is that Senator Snowe and other Republicans will continue to be wary of the President's political gamesmanship. (Encourage Sen. Snowe to stand fast against the President's plan by calling her today).
Reform should be reform minded and a policy discussion should be reasonable and honest. The President has called for this, now if he could only live up to his own expectations.

Chapter 121 Reviews
keep the reviews coming. :-)
Three weeks later and for the past three weeks Asher and Benji have been working hard to expose Jena and Alex. Benji has been trying to keep Billy away from Jena as much as possible which was easier said than done but he managed it, most of the time. Meanwhile Asher was following Jena taking pictures of Jena and Alex when ever she could. She didn't enough to prove what Jena and Alex where up to. Asher went to the café that she had first seen Jana and Alex in and to her surprise they where also there. They hadn't noticed Asher walk in. Asher sat in the booth behind then trying to listen to what they where saying. After a while Asher got up and walked over to their table.
"Asher what a pleasant surprise." Alex said fake nicely. Asher just smiled sarcastically.
"Sit down." Jena offered. Asher sat opposite them.
"We where just talking about your little bunch of friends."
"Oh were you really."
"Yeah we where just saying how well our plan is coming together. Have you met the soon to be Mrs Martin." Alex said as Jena held her left hand out with a ring on her ring finger.
"He proposed to you already?" Asher said glaring at Jena.
"Yes he did and our plan is working out better than we thought." Jena said smugly.
"What plan might that be?"
"The one where we do what we where going to do to your beloved Benji if you hadn't got in the way." Alex said smugly.
"Why what are you going to do to Billy?"
"Once I'm married Alex will get him to sleep with her then I will divorce him and take every penny he and the band have earned." Jena said laughing evilly.
"Yeah and there's nothing you can do about it." Alex said smugly.
"You sound like you've done this sort of thing before." Asher said.
"Oh yeah at least five other times. It just gets easier." Jena said smugly.
"You're sick. The both of you need help." Asher said discussed getting up and going home. Once she got into her car she got her phone out and replayed the conversation that she had just recorded with Jena and Alex confessing their plan and what they have done to many other guys too. Asher smiled to herself and drove home.
When she got in Benji was pacing round the living room. She was three hours later than she had told him and he was worried.
"Asher I've been so worried. Where have you been?" Benji said going over to her with a worried expression on his face. Asher just stood their smiling at him.
"What?" Benji said eyeing her up and down.
"How much do you love me?" Asher said walking up to him slowly with a huge grin on her face.
"Babe what..." Benji said a smile growing on his face but still confused. Asher pressed her body to his, wrapped her arms round his neck and whispered in his ear.
"I've got all the evidence we need to prove to Billy and everyone else what Jena and Alex are up to." Asher said seductively.
"What? How..." Benji started pulling back a little. Asher smiled and played the recording on her phone. By the end of the recording Benji was Smiling just as much as Asher was when she first walked through the door. "I love you so much Mrs Madden. You are unbelievable." Benji said grabbing hold of her, spinning her round and kissing her.
"So how much do you love me?" Asher said smiling proudly.
"More than anything in the world." Benji said laughing then picking her up and carrying her upstairs.
"Benji, what are you doing?" Asher said allowing him to carry her off.
"I'm going to prove how much I love you." Benji said kissing her.
"I think I like the sound of that." Asher said smiling and kissing him back. They went up stair and had amazing sex as always.
"Ok so what's our plan for telling Billy?" Benji asked after a few hours of love making and making out.
"I'm not sure. We need to tell him as soon as possible but preferably with out Jena around to make her excuses."
"We need to do it tomorrow Jena's working in the morning so we'll have Billy all to our selves."
"We need to pick Joel and Kayla up from the airport tomorrow morning we won't be back in time to tell him before Jena comes over." Asher said.
"Well one of us will have to pick Joel and Kayla up and the other will have to break the news to Billy." Benji said. "I'm picking Joel and Kayla up." Benji said quickly before Asher could say anything.
"Great sop your leaving me to give Billy the bad news."
"Well I do need to pick my TWIN BROTHER and his new wife up."
"But Billy's your friend he needs you."
"He's your friend too. Besides your better at breaking the news to him than I will be."
"Fine I'll Break Billy's heart you don't worry about me." Asher said turning over to go to sleep.
"Ash..." Benji tried to reason. Asher smiled to her self.
"No Benj you go pick your Brother up." Asher said faking being hurt.
"Ok but no goodnight kiss." Benji said smiling Asher just glared at him. Then turned back over.

I am 54 years young, in good health, but I do smoke. Can I have breast augmentation?
Breast Implants for a Smoker?
Doctor Answers (16)
Smoking and surgery
I can't stress it enough: A cigarette habit greatly compromises healing. Smoking damages skin, keeps incisions from repairing and worsens scarring. Moreover, nicotine, which gets into the bloodstream, can cause blood clots. Smoking triggers the release of skin-damaging free radicals, increases swelling, worsens scarring, and impedes healing by limiting blood flow to the skin.
If you smoke, you should refrain for at least two weeks before your procedure and two weeks after. I'd far prefer it, of course, if you started cutting back well before that two-week mark. It's a bad idea to be smoking regularly before you have surgery, and an even worse idea after. Among the other threats that smoking poses is the distinct chance that you won't be able to find a self-respecting surgeon to perform the desired procedure. Wouldn't this be the perfect occasion to seriously try to kick the habit?
Breast Implants for a smoker
There are smokers and THERE ARE SMOKERS! Yes, smokers can have breast implants, BUT there is an increased risk of healing delays, infections, bleeding. So see 3 boarded plastic surgeons in person to get their take. Regards.
Smoking and Breast Augmentation
It really depends if you need a lift. If you do, you will have to stop atleast 2 weeks before and until you are healed after. If it is just an augmentation only, you can get it done but I have found that capsular contracture rate for patients who smoke tends to be higher.

Breast Implants in Smokers
I agree that smoking can certainly contribute to problems with wound healing. In fact I will not perform a full tummy tuck, standard reduction, or standard facelift on smokers. I do not, however, refuse to perform augmentations on smokers or insist that they stop smoking. I have not to date seen any significant wound healing problems in smokers undergoing augmentation.
Smoking and surgery
1. There is nicotine in tobacco, but not in marijuana. However, most joints are rolled with marijuana and tobacco combination. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor that decreases blood flow to the tissues. This is the major problems that can cause a very bad outcome in some surgeries. In a breast augmentation, there is not a lot of risk as there are not a lot of incisions which decrease blood flow to the tissues. In a breast lift or tummy tuck, on the other hand, there is much longer and more involved incisions. The decrease in blood flow to the tissues in combination with the decrease in blood flow from the nicotine can cause tissue to die. This can cause part of the breast or nipple, or in the case of a tummy tuck, part of the belly tissue to die, resulting in a very bad outcome. Marijuana without tobacco does not cause this problem, or marijuana in an edible fashion.
2. There is carbon monoxide in both tobacco smoke and marijuana smoke. Carbon monoxide decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin in the blood. This is different from the vasoconstrictor effect, but has the same result of having the risk of tissue death in conjunction with surgeries that decrease the blood flow to tissues such as breast lifts and tummy tucks, as opposed to an augmentation alone that does not decrease blood flow to as great of an extent. Again, edible forms of marijuana do not have smoke, and thus carbon monoxide poisoning.
3. Coughing. Both tobacco and marijuana smoke disrupt the lining of the lungs and bronchi and can lead to coughing episodes. Coughing episodes can lead to internal bleeding after surgery that can lead to hematomas and complications, and again a bad outcome. Again, edible forms of marijuana does not have this effect.
4. Anesthesia effects. Marijuana can have drug interactions with certain anesthetic drugs. Thus it is important to tell your anesthesiologist about your marijuana use.
In conclusion, Smoking, whether it be tobacco or marijuana, is detrimental to your surgery outcome. Edible marijuana is much less so, but be honest about your use with your surgeon and anesthesiologist so that you can have the best outcome. In general, you should quite smoking many weeks, ideally 6 weeks before surgery, and not smoke for at least 2 weeks after surgery.
Best wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Breast implants for a smoker?
Typically, we recommend at least 6 weeks of smoking cessation prior to and at least 6 weeks after any surgical procedure. The longer, the better. Nicotine always increases the risk for infection, nipple necrosis, and wound complications, as well as other health consequences. The most devastating consequence of infection, especially since an implantable prosthetic device is used, is increased. This along with wound healing and scarring. I would discuss this with your surgeon prior to your procedure. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
Breast augmentation and smoking
Yes, you can have breast augmentation surgery, but you should keep in mind that the risks of anesthesia complications, poor wound healing, scarring, and capsular contracture all go up in smokers. If you can quit even three weeks prior to surgery, your risks begin to go down. Good luck, /nsn.
You will have higher risk of complications
You can have breast augmentation but you have higher risk of complications from anesthesia and surgery. You can stop smoking for two weeks before and after surgery . This will decrease your risk.
It's not ideal, but a smoker can have a breast augmentation
It's relatively common to perform breast augmentation in patients who smoke, though they are at an increased risk for wound healing complications. Given your age, however, it is entirely possible that you require a concomitant breast lift. It is not safe to perform this operation in a patient using tobacco products, as your risks of significant wound healing complications, including loss of skin and loss of the nipple and areola is signficantly higher.
Your best is to quit using all tobacco products and all products containing nicotine for at least 4 weeks prior to any breast surgery.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
Web reference: http://www.mybreastaugmentationdallas.com
Smoking increases complications for breast augmentation
Although smoking before/ after breast augmentation is not an absolute contraindication to having the surgery, it does increase the risk of developing complications. These include:
1) your incisions not healing properly and opening, thereby exposing your breast implant to an infection and requiring a possible removal;
2) your incisions not healing properly leading to increased scarring.
I ask ALL of my patients to stop smoking for at least 4 weeks before/ after their surgery to decrease the risk of these complications from occurring.

In a world where religion plays so central a role in social, political, and economic events, as well as in the lives of communities and individuals, there is a critical need for ongoing reflection upon and understanding of religious traditions, issues, questions, and values.
- American Academy of Religion
Understanding religion as it spans various disciplines as well as various cultures prepares students to think critically and creatively connect differing perspectives which is an essential foundation for intercultural civic engagement.
In an interdisciplinary program students learn to address religion in relation to broad historical, political, cultural and philosophical themes in order to understand the complexity of the differing elements of topics such as religious legitimatization of war or the rise of fundamentalism.
The core courses plus the electives supports critical reasoning, equipping students to "shape their lives, their professions and society" by bringing a deep understanding of the issues of religion into public dialogue. An interdisciplinary methodology builds the capacity to make connections between fields of knowledge, between differing cultures and traditions, and between theory and real-world practice.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." — Albert Einstein
Counterfeit cash
1) Suspects nabbed: Police Officer Castro responded to a fight/person armed call (possible robbery) at 1300 The Valley in the 7100 block of Roswell Road. Upon arrival he came in contact with two subjects. The victim said he came to sell some I-Phones that he had placed on Craig's List when another suspect snatched the items from his hands and fled on foot.
The victim chased the suspect, who got into a car driven by another man, in order to leave the area. The victim broke out the driver's rear window. The driver of the car stopped and dropped off the suspect, and then returned to the scene to confront victim about the broken window. Officer Castro and Officer Whaley began to investigate as Det Nick Smith was arriving on scene. After everyone was detained, consent-to-search (verbal) of the vehicle was obtained.
The officers located approximately $900 in counterfeit U.S. Currency in the trunk. Det. Smith contacted the Secret Service and an agent arrived at the precinct to assist. This case may clear up several Forgery cases that are pending with in the city and may lead to a bigger counterfeiting operation that the Secret Service is working on. The robbery suspect's identity is still under investigation.
2) Pizza guy pinched: Another complaint of a counterfeit bill was made by a pizza delivery driver who delivered a pizza at the Magnolia Apartments. The man gave the driver a $50 bill but the driver told the man he could not change that bill.
The suspect told him he could drop the change later. Once back at pizza central, the driver realized the bill was fake and notified the police.
A good lesson if you buy or sell on the Internet
A woman reported that she had a piano for sale on Craig's List Internet site. The price for the piano was $2100. She was contacted, via e-mail, from someone who said they wanted to purchase the piano. They sent her a check for $3400 to cover the $2100 sale. The balance of $1300 was to be sent to "the person who will move the piano."
She deposited the check and the check bounced. Fortunately, she did not write a check for the $1300 and she still has the piano. The bad news is that right now, she's responsible for the charges on the bounced check.
Moral of the story: It's simple. Look for the signs that tell you this is fraud. In this case, ANYTIME a buyer sends you more than the amount of the item you're selling, and then especially overpays for the purpose of you "forwarding" funds to someone or somewhere else, don't do it.
Never ship a sold item until their check clears the bank it was written on. Just because you deposit the check in your account doesn't mean the check is any good. Have a waiting period and BEWARE of people attempting to RUSH the sale transaction.
More Craig's List: A woman contacted the police and said she purchased a mobile phone for $50 on Craig's List. The seller met her in the 6500 block of Roswell Road and gave her the phone and took the money. She could not activate the phone and was told by Verizon that the phone was involved in "fraudulent" activity—probably stolen from someone else.
Personal opinion: Some things you need to buy in the store.
Scam with a truck
The resident of a home in 400 block of Mt. Vernon Hwy said that a man came to the door asking if he could do yard work. They talked for a few minutes. The woman asked for the man's card. He went to his truck, described as a new white pickup, then returned and told her that he did not have any with him at the time.
Following the conversation, the woman found a door, she knew for fact she had left open, closed. She later realized that someone had gone into her purse and then into a desk drawer and taken a checkbook.
Theft from your shopping cart
6300 block of PDR: The victim and her husband were shopping at the Costco. Both stepped away from their shopping cart and at that time a male came up to the victim's husband and asked him about some children's DVD's they were standing next to.
After the man left, the victim turned towards the cart and saw another male, who had just snatched her wallet from the purse. She did not see him take the wallet but saw his hand as he withdrew it from her purse. The wallet was indeed taken and although the victim and her husband immediately searched for the two men, they were gone.
227 Sandy Springs Place: A woman reported that someone took her purse from her shopping cart while she was shopping at the Kroger Store. She lost a number of items including a GPS, wallet, ID, car and house keys, and a credit card.
Tip: All you need is the debit or credit card, cash, and your I.D. in a FRONT pant's pocket and you're good! No need to drag all that stuff in there anyway.
Fight back: Be our eyes and ears
Officers were called to a Riveredge Parkway parking deck on a suspicious-person call. They were told that security personnel stopped a man who was in the deck area acting suspicious. The man ran into the nearby wooded area. Cars were given a lookout of a male wearing a black uniform shirt, pants, and boots. As the report car spoke with security, other cars circled the nearby residential area on Winterthur Drive and Lane. One of the cars drove through and then while circling back, encountered a man who matched the description. The man, according to the officer, was sweating profusely.
The man said he didn't have any ID and had been kicked out of his girlfriend's car after an argument — none of which held any water with the officer. The name given didn't match computer records but the cross-reference did trigger a warrant response.
The man was later identified and charged on Atlanta Police warrants (previous) for Larceny, Impersonating a Police Officer (remember the black uniform shirt, pants, boots?), Criminal Trespass, and Larceny from Auto. He was arrested. No doubt that he was looking to steal from those cars.
The suspect had on him two small flashlights and several small porcelin spark-plug tips. These are commonly used to break out car glass and they make a surprisingly little amount of noise doing so.
The suspect admitted being at the parking deck but denied wanting to break into cars. He had also stashed his uniform shirt in the woods.
These arrests are good because we can probably clear several thefts and probably prevent a few more.
Moral of the story: Call the police when you see anything at all suspicious. There's no downside to it. You may hit the jackpot.
Eyes and ears out there, ya'll.

I'm not sure Einstein was correct about stupidity. How about the MacGyvers in the jail fire? They wanted to light improvised, hand-made cigarettes by sticking pencil lead into an electrical outlet and using the spark to light a rag and then light their cigarettes and ended up nearly burning down the prison. This is what I've been saying, people learn from MacGyver. If terrorists had struck the prison at that moment, the inmates would have won. All I'm sayin'.

Sandy Springs is a 40 Sq Mile City with over 100,000 residence and a day time population that can exceed 300,000+. So does Sandy Springs have crime?? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS However, we have an excellent Police Department that has decreased crime 3 years in a row.

Guns, anarchy text found in room with ricin
Despite findings, police still downplaying possibility of terror as motive
The Las Vegas hotel suite where vials of ricin were found Thursday also contained guns and literature about anarchy with information on the deadly toxin, police said Friday.
Nevertheless, Las Vegas police continued to downplay the significance of the ricin discovery, saying they had ruled out terrorism as a motive.
"I want to assure everybody that the Las Vegas Valley is safe," Las Vegas police Capt. Joseph Lombardo said. "We don't currently have any terrorist threat at this time or possibility of contamination (due) to ricin."
The Metropolitan Police Department reported one person has been injured by the biological agent. That man has been in critical condition at Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center for more than two weeks.
Police said the man is 57 years old and was staying in the suite at the Extended Stay America on Valley View Boulevard near Flamingo Road where the ricin was found.
Police have not identified the man, but a Homeland Security internal document obtained by the Review-Journal states that he is Roger Von Bergendorff.
The man placed an emergency call from the suite on Feb. 14, saying he was in respiratory distress and asking to be transported to a hospital, police said.
"He's unable to speak with us right now," said Deputy Chief Kathy Suey, who leads the Police Department's Homeland Security Division.
His medical condition, however, was consistent with exposure to the poisonous substance, authorities said.
If a person exposed to ricin doesn't die within three to five days, the victim usually recovers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Seven other people, including three police officers and three employees at the long-term stay hotel, also were hospitalized as a precaution. No one other than Von Bergendorff had exhibited signs of ricin exposure.
Before Thursday's discovery of the deadly poison, hotel management and Las Vegas police had visited the suite twice without detecting it.
On Feb. 22, eight days after Von Bergendorff was hospitalized, one of the man's "relations" called hotel management to alert them to two cats and one dog that were in the suite, Lombardo said.
Management contacted the Humane Society to take care of the animals, and the cats were taken in and are in good health. A veterinarian with the society determined the dog was in ill health because of lack of food and water and the animal was destroyed, Lombardo said.
On Tuesday, management at the hotel began eviction procedures and called Las Vegas police after discovering four firearms in the suite, the Homeland Security memo states .
Police then found an anarchist textbook that was "tabbed" to a section on ricin, Lombardo said.
That discovery prompted police investigators to test the room for the deadly substance. The test was negative.
On Thursday, a man who "claimed to be a relative" was in the suite and discovered several vials of ricin in a bag, along with castor beans from which the substance is derived, Suey said.
Police have not identified the man, whom they said was 53 years old. But the Homeland Security document identified him as Thomas Tholen.
Authorities said Tholen took the vials of ricin to the manager's office. It was not clear whether Tholen knew what the vials contained.
Tholen and three other people who were inside the manager's office were taken to Desert Springs Hospital as a precaution.
Police said Tholen stayed at the Excalibur on Wednesday night. Friday evening investigators found the room was not tainted from ricin, Lombardo said.
Police believe that all of the ricin related to the incident has been contained.
Las Vegas police spokesman Bill Cassell said Von Bergendorff "is not considered a criminal suspect."
Lombardo said: "I don't want to make any conclusions with the anarchist-type textbook. It doesn't make you a terrorist because you have this type textbook. It doesn't make you a terrorist if you possess firearms."

For the last two weeks or so, I've been spending some spare hours trying to upgrade Macheesmo to a new WordPress Theme. It's one of those semi-thankless parts of blogging. I want some of the new functionality with the latest WordPress (like the ability to respond to individual comments), but that means I had to change themes.
This might be all gobbledygook to some of you, but if everything went as planned (it didn't) you would notice no changes visually on Macheesmo, but it would just have some slick new functionality. Turns out though I forgot a few things while testing it and some areas do look a bit different. And not in a good way. So if you see something that looks wonky, sorry. I'm gonna try to get to it this weekend. If you see something that doesn't work at all(like you click a link and it breaks), please please please email me.
Enough computer speak. Let's cook some food.
And some links as always!
Not Too Much. Mostly Plants. A friend and reader sent me a new food blog (yes another one) this week. Her goal is pretty straightforward – Stick to Michael Pollan's rules for a year and document it. Will she succeed? Who knows. She takes pretty solid photos though and is humorous. What more could you want in a food blog that doesn't rhyme with Blacheesmo? (@ Not Too Much. Mostly Plants)
The Best 11 Foods you Aren't Eating. A list of some foods that are good for you that I guess the average American doesn't eat. I think almost all of them have made a Macheesmo appearance before and two of them did just this last week! (@ NY Times)
My First Madeleines. Not my first ones obviously. I've never tried them. But Nicole's first ones. I must say I would have to give her a grade of A+ based on photos only. If I had one of those nifty madeleine trays, I'd be making these suckers. (@ Pinch My Salt)
Have a good weekend everyone and guess what! If you leave a comment on this post, I will totally reply to your comment individually just to show off my new comment functionality that took me two weeks to achieve.

Scientists Spark Auroras In a Bottle for Traveling Northern Lights Show
The glowing colors and dancing lines of the Northern Lights could soon appear inside an educational institution near you.
A small device called Planeterrella bottles all the ingredients needed for the naturally occurring lights show — a magnetic field, a sphere and charged particles — and creates a mini version of the auroras inside.The concept, which was imported from Europe, will be on display at the Virginia Air and Space Center in a few months. Another device will travel from classroom to classroom.
In addition to offering a Northern Lights display, Planeterrella can also, in limited form, show the differences between aurora on different planets.
Where charged particles collide
Auroras are common on planets with magnetic fields, such as Earth. Particles streaming from the sun hit Earth's magnetic field lines and travel to the magnetic north and south poles. As the particles brush with Earth's upper atmosphere, they excite atoms of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases and cause the lights.
These dancing lights have also been spotted on other planets in the solar system, including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Other processes could also contribute to the aurora; on Saturn, for example, some researchers say a rain of particles from its ring could help light up the skies.
Planeterrella works to capture this process in miniature. Its European creators drew inspiration from a 19th century experiment called Terrella, which showed how charged particles glow when they hit a magnetic field. Planeterrella includes several spheres to better recreate how auroras wrap around Earth's poles.
Research limitations
The machine, said lead researcher Guillaume Gronoff in a statement, is intended to illustrate the differences in how aurora are generated at different planets.
"The Planeterrella allows us to create analogies with existing processes, like the aurora at Mars, which do not have a global magnetic field, but several localized magnetic fields, or Uranus and Neptune, when the magnetic fields of those planets point towards the sun," said Gronoff, who is a research scientist at NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia.
The experiment is not a perfect recreation, however, as it does not show the whole picture.
"For example, there are various gases on each planet that can create different color effects within auroras," NASA scientists said in a statement. "Gronoff is planning on incorporating this variable using a few extra magnets and some carbon dioxide to simulate the aurora at Mars."
Planeterrella's creator was Gronoff's Ph.D. advisor, Jean Lilensten. Lilsensten is from the Centre national de la recherche scientifique and the Institut de Planetologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble in France.

FYI – Flexible hose for natural gas and propane alert
Lt. Governor Jim Cawley and State Fire Commissioner Ed Mann recently announced an effort to raise awareness regarding a safety upgrade for grounding existing (and new) yellow corrugated stainless steel tubing used to supply natural gas or propane to appliances in homes and offices. There has been an upgrade to the grounding installation requirements due to the risk of fires resulting from pinhole leaks in the tubing that can occur as a result of a lightning strike.
As a state prone to lightning strikes, TEMA and PSATS encourages its member townships to share this information with their residents as a means to further provide for the protection of the health, welfare, and safety of your residents.
Property owners who have yellow CSST installed in their homes after 1989 should contact a licensed electrical contractor to determine proper bonding of the system. As always, consumers should consider qualifications of the contractor before selecting them to perform a safety check.
Here is a link to a video describing the proper bonding and grounding requirements: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SvS40oYMiE. Here is a link to the technical bulletin outlining the new grounding requirements: www.csstsafety.com/Images/CSST-Direct-Bonding-Tech-Bulletin.pdf.
Although yellow CSST installations may have met code requirements at the time of installation, safety building codes have changed and it is now recommended that these systems be promptly checked and updated to the new installation standards.
For additional information on this important matter, visit www.CSSTSafety.com.

Walnut Sage Fettuccine Recipe
This is a delicious vegan and gluten free pasta recipe that takes very little time to prepare. Walnuts and sage dominate the flavor of the creamy sauce, and walnut pieces provide some texture; turning a few simple ingredients into a hearty meal.
- 1 cup walnuts chopped finely, plus 1 cup coarsely crushed walnuts
- 12 oz silken tofu, extra firm
- 1 cube vegetable bouillon
- 2 tbsp olive oil plus extra for drizzling onto pasta
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage leaves
- 1 package (12oz) fettuccine noodles, gluten free or regular
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- In food processor, combine 1 cup finely chopped walnuts, 12 oz silken tofu, 1 cube vegetable bouillon, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/3 cup almond milk, sea salt, and sage leaves. Puree until smooth. Sauce will appear liquidy.
- Drain pasta, (if using gluten-free pasta, rinse with cold water) and while still in colander, drizzle with extra olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss pasta with sauce and half of the amount of the larger crushed walnuts. Place into serving dishes and top with the remaining crushed walnuts.
- Serve hot.

Topic - When does someone get taken off belay?
jalien on 28 Sep 2013
After the discussion in the thread about lethal rhymes...
I'm struggling to think of a situation in which the leader needs to be completely disconnected from their belayer.
In both sport and trad, single and multipitch, if the leader wants to be lowered then the belayer can pay out enough slack for the leader to do his ropework, and if the belayer will second the route then they can be tied in before the leader sets off (hence still anchoring the end of the rope after the belay plate is removed).
The only scenario I can think of where the belayer would hear "safe" and remove themselves from the rope is if they didn't want to second the route, and the leader wanted to abseil instead of being lowered. This can't be a very common occurrence shurely?
Why then do people keep falling off routes due to belayer miscommunication?

Look: Pet Shop Boys + Liars at Modulations x Jack Mannix
View highlights from the first night of Modulations through the lens of Sydney photographer Jack Mannix, who shot these distinctive images on slide film. HTRK mesmerised before Liars pummelled their industrial pop. Meanwhile The Presets DJs killed the opening slot for the Pet Shop Boys' immersive concert experience. Mannix, also a musician who has played in Circle Pit, Drown Under and Kiosk, recently published his first full-colour artist monograph 'Precious Metals', binding a series of gritty documentary-style images that explore themes of isolation, addiction, sex and death, and cross the boundaries of both lo-fi and high-fashion photography. Buy it here.
Look: Wild Porteño at Modulations x The Unstuck Man
Sydney-based Californian photographer The Unstuck Man got in the thick of Modulation's Wild Porteño, a one off collaboration between Argentine grill Porteño and LA rockabilly label Wild Records. He captured The Delta Bombers howlin' rhythms, Luis and his dangerous band The Wildfires, the beautiful Gizzelle and DJs A Man Called Stu and Rockin' Marc Rondeau, along with some great rockabilly culture portraits and Porteño's slow cooked delights.
Modulations: Wild Records Interview
As part of Modulations, Porteño will host a showcase of their favourite record label - LA's iconic rock n roll and rockabilly collective Wild Records - on Monday 9 June. Recently the subject of international film festival standout 'Los Wild Ones', Wild Records is a talent hot bed, predominately of young Hispanic musicians, with an uncompromising aesthetic that carries the torch from the original rockabilly legends. The close-knit roster is fathered by Irishman Reb Kennedy who we initially invited to contribute a modcast. Acknowledging that he's a purist who is extremely reluctant to embrace the digital age, we quickly realised that this Q&A would be a more accurate translation of his ideas and the true Wild culture.
The Presets (DJ set) + HTRK Join Modulations
Modular and Carriageworks present Modulations - a 4 day music and food collaboration as part of Vivid Sydney. Iconic Sydney restaurant, Porteño will host a 4 day rockabilly pop-up bar and grill across the long weekend. The Wild Porteño program on Monday 9 June will see renowned LA label Wild Records in Australia for the first time, with lauded rockabilly artists Gizzelle, Luis & The Wildfires and The Delta Bombers. Alongside this will be performances from award-winning electronic pop legends Pet Shop Boys and experimental musicians Liars. The Presets (DJ set) and HTRK have just been announced to support these respective shows.
The Presets will be in DJ mode as very special guests of the Pet Shop Boys on 6, 7 and 8 June. Fresh from national performances of 'Timeline', a time-bending musical odyssey through 42,000 years with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, The Presets' Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes will man the decks at Carriageworks for these 3 intimate shows. With two sell outs, tickets for the third and final Pet Shop Boys concert are running out.
Liars will be joined by Melbourne-Sydney duo HTRK, performing the minimal swell of cool room dub and arrestingly hushed vocals from their newly released 'Psychic 9-5 Club'. The mesmerising effort is the first album that members Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang have recorded as a duo, following the 2010 death of bandmate Sean Stewart. They've previously worked with Australian icon Rowland S Howard and just launched a collaboration with emerging fashion label Pageant. Tickets for Liars and HTRK on Friday 6 June are available here.
Liars Tickets Now On Sale
Tickets for Liars' Modulations show at Carriageworks on Friday June 6 are now available here (the band also play the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Thursday June 5). Always pushing the envelope with concept albums, innovative campaigns, visual art and collaboration, the LA 3-piece fit in perfectly with Modulations' exploration of how music performance, art, installation and contemporary ideas intersect, overlap and influence. Let's take a sample of some of the group's art practices and pairings over their 15 year career.
Art direction for their latest album Mess has found them incorporating multi-coloured string in different configurations. From inventive Instagram posts to shrink-wrapping balls into limited edition LPs, DIY video clips and well orchestrated press shots, this creative noodling penetrates the album's vision.
Liars added to Modulations 2014
Always pushing the envelope with story albums, visual art and collaboration, LA creative 3-piece Liars fit in perfectly with Modulations exploration of how music performance, art and contemporary ideas intersect, overlap and influence. Liars have been pursuing the art of music and performance for over 15 years. Now touring their seventh record Mess, their career has seen them rattle through pigeonholes in an attempt to avoid them altogether, touching on brittle yet taught punk funk, liminal no-wave, ecstatic noise-pop, 21st-century garage rock, post-millennial post-rock and delicate electronics. From visceral live shows to DIY artwork, bold videos and conceptive album campaigns, Aaron Hemphill, Julian Gross and Australian native Angus Andrew are breathing demonstrations of Modulations' multi-disciplinary agenda.
Liars will be performing at Modulations on Friday 6 June. Tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster.
Liars also play The Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Thursday 5 June. Tickets are available here.
Porteño + Wild Records = Wild Porteño
From 5pm till late on Friday 6 June - Sunday 8 June, Porteño's Ben and Elvis bring together their love for food, drink, music and friends with a special pop-up experience for Modulations at Carriageworks. They'll be joined by Sydney craft beer brewers Young Henrys and open to the public, serving their Argentine grill straight from an open fire at Carriageworks to the sounds of Sydney's finest human rock'n'roll jukeboxes - Rusty (You Am I) & Boonge (Fri 6 June), Yo Grito DJs (Sat 7 June) and La Mancha Negra DJs (Sunday 8 June).
Monday 9 June culminates in Wild Porteño, a full music program that brings bands from Porteño's favourite label - the LA based Wild Records - playing prime American rock'n'roll and rockabilly live and raw. The day will feature Gizzelle's startling take on late 50s blues, r&b and early 60s soul, the thunderous commotion of Luis & The Wildfires and the holy howlin' rhythms of Las Vegas' The Delta Bombers, with vinyl delights from DJs Rockin' Marc Rondeau and A Man Called Stu. The kitchen opens at noon, with the Wild Porteño live party making a racket till late. Tickets for the Monday Wild revue are available here.
Modulations: Pet Shop Boys
Modular and Carriageworks are joining forces to present 3 days of exclusive music performances, art and contemporary ideas as part of VIVID 2014. Grounded in music and crossing art and design, Modulations looks at where these art forms intersect, overlap and influence each other.
Running from 6-8 June and featuring an exciting spectrum of internationally renowned and emerging artists, Modulations will be headlined by multi-award winning electronic pop legends Pet Shop Boys. Known for their collaborations across music, theatre, fashion and film, Pet Shop Boys are considered the most successful duo in UK music history. Their Modulations appearance, the only Australian performance of their 2013/14 Electric world tour, will be a rare opportunity to experience a truly spectacular multi-media concert, designed by acclaimed Creative Director Es Devlin, who has previously collaborated with Kanye West, Jay Z and Lady Gaga as well as designing the 2012 London Olympic Games Closing Ceremony. The Electric show incorporates film, lasers, breath-taking costumes and choreography - along with a catalogue of hits, and will be presented in an intimate and immersive environment, with an extremely limited capacity.
Carriageworks and Modular are joining forces to present four days of exclusive music performances, art and contemporary ideas as part of VIVID 2014. Grounded in music and crossing art and design, Modulations looks at where these art forms intersect, overlap and influence each other.

We just spent Christmas in Cataluna. In Christmas season, Barcelona is beautiful, decorated with lights, shops and markets bustling. No lines for anything. Not cold, easy walking, cabs available when needed. As you head north into the mountains, weather turns colder, but no difficulty driving or getting around.

"You belong here, you know that?" he says. "You belong with us. It'll be over soon, so just hold on, okay?"
He scratches behind his ear and looks away, like he's embarrassed by what he said.
I stare at him. I feel my heartbeat everywhere, even in my toes. I feel like doing something bold, but I could just as easily walk away. I am not sure which option is smarter, or better. I am not sure that I care.
I reach out and take his hand. His fingers slide between mine. I can't breathe.
I stare up at him, and he stares down at me. For a long time, we stay that way. Then I pull my hand away and run after Uriah and Lynn and Marlene. Maybe now he thinks I'm stupid, or strange. Maybe it was worth it.
