Your health is the most important asset you have, and health insurance coverage is a close second.
If your health insurance is through your spouse's employer, once the divorce is final you will need to obtain health insurance for yourself. It is very important that there is no gap in coverage, so you must deal with the issue early in divorce negotiations.
COBRA – It's a Federal Law, Not a Snake
While your spouse may be required by the court to keep the health insurance for the children, he or she will be unable to maintain the health insurance for you after the divorce.
If your spouse works for a company that employs 20 or more people, then you are eligible to apply for continued health insurance coverage in his employer's plan under a Federal law known as "COBRA" (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act).
If the company has fewer than 20 employees, you might still be eligible for continued coverage under the mini-COBRA coverage laws of your state. Most states have mini-COBRA, except Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington. State mini-COBRA terms can differ quite significantly from those provided by the standard federal COBRA, so you'll need to research the coverage terms and eligibility rules. Here's a helpful website: http://www.cobrainsurancedirect.com/COBRA-Insurance.html
The 60 Day Rule
Your spouse's employer is required to provide COBRA coverage for you, but only if you notify the health plan administrator within 60 days of becoming divorced. If you don't give the administrator proper notice, then you will not be eligible for COBRA coverage.
Coverage Through Your Own Employer May be Cheaper
You may not want to be covered under COBRA if you can obtain health insurance through your employer. This is because your spouse's employer is probably paying for all or a portion of your current health insurance premium.
Under COBRA, you will be responsible for the entire amount of the premium. (Actually, you may be charged 102% of the cost of the group rate.)
If your employer provides health insurance for you at little or no charge to you, then you are better off obtaining health insurance through your employer. But, for people who do not have this option, COBRA may be their only viable choice.
Before you opt for the COBRA coverage, check out other private plans such as Blue Cross, to compare the benefits and the cost. You may find options that are less expensive and more permanent than the COBRA coverage.
One way to find a list of these private insurers is to ask the personnel at your doctors' offices what insurance plans they accept, and which ones make payments that are the most hassle-free.
COBRA Coverage Ends in 36 Months
COBRA coverage for a former spouse ends within 36 months. So, you need to be prepared for this coverage to end and new health insurance to take its place.
If you have questions about the impact of preexisting conditions on obtaining new health insurance once the COBRA coverage expires, you should contact someone who is knowledgeable about the different kinds of health insurance plans available in your area.
If you are healthy, consider a private plan rather than taking the COBRA coverage for three years. If you took the COBRA coverage and became ill during the three-year period, you might find that you were uninsurable at the end of three years, when the COBRA coverage expired. A private plan, rather than a group plan under COBRA, would facilitate continuing coverage and might be worth any extra expense.

10 Arts
Going to 10 Arts on opening night does anyone know the price point of the restuarant.
please give a detailed report when you are finished. I am a little confused by this place, is the aim to jump in with the big boys like lacroix, lbf, and the fountain? Or are they aiming a step below like brasserie perrier and table 31?
re: hollyd
Maybe it's going to be like Daniel Boulud's hamburger. We love Le Bernadin and we're really looking forward to 10 ARts -- maybe we'll make a reservation for opening night.
i made an opening night res. afterall. Anyone know the dress code at this enigmatic dining establishment?
looking at the menu, I am not that impressed. Looks like it lacks soul to me. Still am not sure of what they are trying to do. I may hit them up for lunch sometime soon, but I will wait on dinner reports. Now does anyone have any idea when Distrito Federal is going to open? I will be there opening night for sure.
Went to 10 Arts last night. Eric was there making rounds to tables and very nice (most of the night he just seat with Stephen Starr who was having dinner) Got the fish burger which had no flavor, corn chowder was okay, the pretzel may have been made three days ago because they were staleand dry, cocktails are way over-priced $15 each and wines by the glass started at that price too. The space is okay I don't know what they did that took months for construction to finish. It basically looks the same with these ugly prism-like colored arches. So after a dinner for two came out to $185.00 I'm not sure I'll be going back anytime soon or at least not till they get somethings worked out. I do think the lounge area is really cool and will be a great place to get a drink and a bite to eat without the huge price tag.
P.S. It was the first night so I sure there is going to be a lot of changes in the next few weeks
re: Latzo81
I was at 10 Arts last night. Saw Mayor Nutter and georges Perrier both dining there with their respective parties. Chef Ripert was making the rounds of all tables--he is as nice and cordial as can be. A breath of fresh air for such an accomplished chef. I thought the decor was fabulous. Actually MUCH different than the prior incarnation. Much more hip and warm--I found it to be a huge difference. Of course this is only the second night of their service, but my food was marvelous. Since 10 Arts isn't meant to be Le Bernardin, the fare is a lot simpler and straightforward. I thought the meal was percetly cooked and the flavors as fresh as they could be. Highly recommend the Market Salad, mussels (the best I have ever had), their "pork and beans"--delicious. Tried the flat iron steak--high quality and perfectly cooked to my preference. Desserts are amazing. Recommend the beignets--they practically melt in your mouth. For Pennsylvania, I find the wine list to be surprisingly good witbh a good array of moderately priced bottles and good wines by the glass. I think the prices are fair given the quality of ingredients utilized. even in the specialty cocktails, although $15 may be pricey--these are 'gastro-cocktails' and also labor intensive and ingredient driven, so I would expect the prices on these to be higher. Standard cocktails are priced the same as equivalent competition in the area. All in all, my guest and I had a lovely time and a delicious meal. For only the second day, and of course with tweaks coming, I would say they did a very good job and I have a lot of confidence in their future.
re: gibson1960
I too was at 10Arts last night and agree with much of what you said but walked away with a different impression.
I agree the ambience is beautiful and relaxing. The drinks great and the GM was very knowledgeable about the wine list (as well as being very personable). The mussels as mentioned - fantastic as was the grilled octopus appetizer (my favorite of the night). The entrees though were somewhat disappointing - while good, the steaks were nothing more than I would expect from most home kitchens. The Striped Bass on the other hand was delicious.
Service was the spotty at disorganized at best. Our server was friendly but the appetizers were served staggered, and coffee came after desserts were sitting too long on the table...as just a few examples.
Having said that - as noted in the previous post - it is only the secend night and with some tweaks (which are probably already being discussed) I think that this could be a strong addition to the dining choices.
I would probably wait a month or two before trying again but it was fun being at a chef of that levels opening week and meeting Chef Ripert.
George Perrier also said hello as he left as did Mayor Nutter.
re: dkupersmith
I, too had the opportunity to eat at 10 Arts last night. I have to say that I am completely disappointed. I would think that with a Chef the caliber of Eric Ripert there would be great attention to each meal being served while he was in residence and certainly the second night of their opening. I agree that the Octopus was very good, as were the mussels; however, there were 4 appetizers and for only 2 of them to be good is not acceptable to me. The other appetizers, Tuna- which had no taste and Oysters- which had a metallic taste (and trust me, I know oysters!) were so disappointing that they detracted from my appreciation of the other 2 starters. The Fish entree was good+ but the filet mignon we ordered were a huge disappointment. I know (and don't cringe) I ordered mine well done (butterflied) and still it came out "very pink" inside. Another person in group (who requested - no sauce) had her steak served well done (not ordered that way) and placed on a large white plate without any garnish at all. It didnt look appetizing - and not expected at a restaurant charging these prices. I would never serve steak like that in my home! Service was very off...I spent most of the night looking for someone to fill my water glass. None of the dishes were served together, nor did we receive much attention. The bread was also tasteless, and the butter was served below room temperature. Dining is to be an experience and here the choreography was completely off. I can understand if the food is spectacular and the service off...or vice versa but this was not the case. Albeit the room decor was attractive, there was nothing that stood out for me as being spectacular. The highlight of the evening was David, I believe he was the restaurant manager. He really tried to make our less than exciting dining experience a better situation---and with his kindness and personality, he succeeded. I would have to say that there are too many good restaurants to enjoy than to give a second chance to a restaurant that had all the ingredients to make it better their first chance!
re: mytaste
You ordered filet mignon well done?
re: Buckethead
Thanks for the chuckle!
re: Buckethead
and butterflied... my god...
re: mytaste
I'd recommend giving the restaurant another chance. There are always glitches in the first couple of months, no matter who is the "mind" behind the restaurant. Even Alain Ducase has never pulled off a new restaurant completely glitch-free in the first month of opening.
re: Mr_Pickles
Mr Pickles, I can understand glitches but complete chaos and poor food doesn't work for me. I have been to Jean-George's Vong opening and it was superb from Top to Bottom! The glitches weren't noticeable. Same goes for Alain Ducasse's Spoon in Hong Kong. I was there opening week and it too was superior to the point that the little issues weren't noticeable. I just had the feeling last night that the experience was disjointed and that there was no real committment or interest in making this restaurant better. This is just my opinion. I can also say that the menu was not very inspiring. I was just very surprised and disappointed. I have also been to Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger during many times, with Ming there and when he was not and his food, service and the overall ambiance is so spectacular that I look for reasons to travel to that area.
re: mytaste
My husband and I ate at 10 Arts last night. We had seen the menu in advance so we knew that it was not going to be like Le Bernadin. That said, we were greeted cordially. I was served a very good, generous size traditional gin martini which was excellent. I had the octopus and my husband had the tuna. Both were very enjoyable. For main course he had the striped bass and I had the bouillabaisse -- both were very good but not transcendant. We skipped dessert and just had coffee to end the meal. We did not notice the service glitches noted by others, but we eat early and the restaurant was not at all busy when we were being served. I guess our judgment is that it was good but not outstanding -- a disappointment to us.
re: mytaste
The point that I was trying to make is that glitches happen, especially at restaurants not intended to be world-class (or run by world-class restraunteurs). I just try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. That being said, my understanding is that they did rush quite a bit at 10 Arts at the behest of hotel management so they could get a little momentum before the summer season slow-down. This is probably the source of the problems a number of people have experienced. Excusable? Not really, but I am sympathetic to the restaurant's plight.
re: Mr_Pickles
I went to Le Bernadin 2 months ago, and I was not impressed. The place has certainly gone downhill since I was there 2 years ago. I went to the Fountain 2 weeks ago, and could not have had a better meal or better service. From what I see above posts, Mr. Ripert needs to raise his game or this will be another fiasco like Marcus Samuelsson's short lived venture in Philadelphia.
Extremely disappointed in 10 Arts. I have to agree with a prior comment that the menu is somewhat disappointing and uninspired. The bartenders at the lounge were friendly, congenial and helpful, but the dinner service was horrible. We did not receive our side items with our meal, and had to wait while we watched our waiter text-messaging across the restaurant, to get his attention. A few minutes later he returned from the kitchen to tell us that they had to redo the macaroni and cheese, and when we replied, "and the asparagus?" He said yes, that too. Well, we weren't born yesterday, the whole order was lost - so apologize, but admit it- don't blame the kitchen. To cover up the lost order they brought one of every side item on the menu, realizing that they didn't know what the order was. Naturally they didn't charge for the sides, thankfully since they were all bland and dry. The macaroni and cheese had no flavor, and certainly did not contain the ham that the menu boasted. The mixed veggies were similar to the bag variety in the freezer section of the grocery store, and the small pot of mashed potatoes lacked all flavor, and had an unappetizing texture.
The trout entree, however, was a ray of light for the evening. The sauce was amazing. The signature striped bass dish was missing the striped bass, which was replaced by monkfish - a mention of the barstaff, almost overlooked by our waiter until we mentioned it. Also a delicious dish, but would have preferred with striped bass.
The final blow came when the bill revealed that the scantily poured "house cabernet" was $18 per glass. Followed by 25 minute wait in line for our valeted car, where when my husband held out the ticket in front of the 5 standing around attendants they all looked at the other to take it. At $600 total for a stop at the bar, apps,entree for four and one dessert, this was soooooo NOT worth it!!
Now I know why the place was empty for a Friday evening, when every other notable restaurant had been booked for weeks.
re: benthere
I must agree with you 100%. We went to Eric's place at the Ritz in DC and were looking forward to his place in Philadelphia. The Fish Burgers were excellent. We sat at the bar in the afternoon and had two glasses of wine. The bartender was a very good sales person. She asked what type of reds we like.. I said Cab, Red Zinfandel, Pinot... she suggested on a Pinot from Oregon... she said it would be one of the best I have ever tried... I agreed with her and when the bill came... $36 for two glasses. It was the most expensive one on the list. We returned that evening for dinner and I ordered a cabernet... the pour was horrible about 3 swallows!!!.... and the price was outrageous... there were only 5 tables for the evening... plus I am not a fan of their decor. It is a beautiful space and the modern/neon lights do not cut it. We probably will not go back. There are many other places in the city
re: BRI328
I so agree with your comment about the decor BRI328. An attempt at being hip that is completely incongruent with the traditional environment. Given the poor reviews here, I won't be making a reservation any time soon.
re: 60s Girl
I disagree. I really like the decor and kind of dig the pinks and nouveau-retro-ish sort of vibe. I also liked the food quite a bit, and my dessert (the beignets) was absolutely one of the best I had in this city.
My friend & I both had drinks (standard pour of wine, maybe slightly more even), and it probably came out to about the $30s range, but neither of us were shocked. To be sure, neither said it was cheap, but we expected those prices when we saw the menu.
My two cents.
Another disappointed diner. Potatoes in the steak frites were excellent (excellent herb seasoning), though the attempted rendition of the traditional paper cone was clumsy. Bar lacked Bluecoat Gin (it's the local product!) and I agree that the wine selection was disappointing and pours small for the price.
But what dragged things way down for me was the crabcake. More like lump crab mush. It's a lovely room, but the kitchen is far to inconsistent to demand top dollar.

Thank you for being there Blue Nile
These were a gift for my grand daughter and she loves them They were even more beautiful than the picture. Exquisite quality.
Nice earring, stone has no color
I purchased these for my granddaughters birthday, the earring have nice weight to it, not heavy and not flimsy either. However the aquamarine is extremely disappointing, I know aquamarine is a light color stone but these look translucent I even put them under a light and barely saw color. I purchased these based on reviews that were favorable for this stone, I might exchange them for another stone.
Really like them.
I really like these earrings but they are a little smaller than I expected and therefore a little difficult to handle when putting on/off. However, I love them once they're on. In addition to using them as a main earring, I also use them in the back as a second earring.
A sweet pair of earrings
These are very pretty earrings, are easy to insert, fall at just the right place, and were reasonably priced.
My wife love the ear rings. That's what really counts. Great quality for the money..
Exactly what I expected.
I purchased these for my wife as an anniversary gift and she loves them. They look exceptional and the aquamarine color shines through perfectly.
I gave these earrings to my wife as a birthday gift. Aquamarine is our son's birthstone. She loves them, and has worn them almost every day since. The aquamarine color is more subtle than I thought it would be, but nevertheless quite pretty.
I didn't like them... thought the earrings were small, the one hinged didn't work correctly, and didn't see an Aquamarine color in them...I sent them back.
Great Gift for Teenager
Excellent Value. Purchased as a gift for my daughter (birthsone), she loves the simplicity with sparkles!
Bought for niece's16th birthday. She loves them,
Look just as pictured. Nice blue to the stones. Many stones have no color but these are great.
Beautiful earrings!
excellent quality, heavy silver, beautiful stone, hinge tightly --- very satisfied with my purchase especially since it's my favorite birth stone.
Lovely earrings, but somewhat uncomfortable to wear
These earrings a very lovely....dainty with nice sparkle from the stone. My only issue is that the posts are rather thick and I have experienced discomfort while wearing the earrings. Otherwise, I like their appearance and style.
Happy Birthday to me!
I love the way these hinged earrings clip together! They are very comfortable. The look can be casual or dressy. Good buy!
My wife loved them. They looked just like the picture. Very happy with my purchase.
Only gave them 3 stars as the posts were so short I couldn't get them through my earlobes. Good thing my sister could, or they would have gone back!

Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney got two endorsements Wednesday from members of Alaska's congressional delegation.
Those came from the two Republicans, Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Don Young.
Sen. Mark Begich, the delegation's sole Democrat, said he had disappointments with President Obama and his administration during the annual state chamber meeting in Anchorage. But Begich didn't endorse either candidate.
Murkowski says the last four years haven't been very good for Alaska or the county, and she looks forward to Romney being president.
Young also endorsed Romney, and said he's ``very high'' on Romney's vice presidential pick, Paul Ryan.
Begich says he's been disappointed in Obama's actions when it comes to oil and gas, roadless rules in the Tongass and education policies that don't match the reality of very rural Alaska.

How do I Bypass Class Search?
Each class has a unique "Class Number" for each term. This number can be up to 5 digits long and is listed in the on-line class schedule.
If you know a class number you can add it directly to your shopping cart without doing a class search. Some classes may not appear in the class schedule and a department, instructor or adviser may give you the class number so you can directly add it to your shopping cart. Type the course number into the entry box and click on the Enter button. This will take you directly to the Enrollment Preferences page for the class as if you selected it from the class schedule.
What is Swap and how do I use it?
The Swap function allows you to swap a currently enrolled class for a different one.
The advantage of using this function is that if the swap does not succeed, it does not drop your original class. Suppose you are trying to drop a class and add another class that meets at the same time and days of the week.
Using add and drop functions you would first have to drop the class from your schedule and then try to add the new class. If you find out that you don't qualify for the new class, you then have to try and add back your previous class. Using the swap function is a whole lot easier and faster.
What is Edit and how do I use it?
The Edit function allows you to change something about one of your classes without dropping it.
For a variable credit hour class, it allows you to change the number of credit hours in the class. For a class that allows a change in grading options, it allows you to change a class between pass/no pass and a grade. For classes that have associated recitation or lab sections, it allows you to move from one lab or recitation section to another without going through the drop/add process (this only works when the lab or recitation carries no credit hours).
You can do the same thing using the drop and add functions, but edit makes it much easier.
Class Search Tips
Looking for Honors Classes?
Honors classes have an H on the end of the course number. Search for them by looking for Course Numbers that contain an "H". Click the selection box next to the Course Number search field and choose "contains" rather than "is exactly" from the selection list. Type an H into the Course Number box. Now the search will only select course numbers that have an H or X in them.
Skipping to the Right Course Subject
There are a lot of different course subjects and searching for the right one can be tedious each time.
There is a quick way to get close to the subject you want without manually running down the whole scroll bar. Just click on the dropdown
list and then press the first letter of the subject area you want. This will bring you to the first subject that has that as the first
Let's say you are interested in Mathematics courses. Clicking on the drop down box and then hitting the M key will bring you directly to Management - the first subject area listed under M. Mathematics is just down the list from Management.
Looking for ACE Courses?
You can specify that you only want to see classes that satisty an ACE outcome. Select the drop down box next to Course Attribute to see a list of ACE outcomes. You can choose up to two (2) Course Attributes to search for courses that satisfy either ACE outcome.
Looking for Classes that only meet on certain days?
You can specify the days of the week that you want to include or exclude from the class listing. To only see classes that meet on Tuesday and Thursday you mark the Tuesday and Thursday check boxes and then select "include only these days" under the drop down list. Only courses that meet both on Tuesdays and Thursdays will be listed.
Notice that you can select several different criteria under this selection and by using these different criteria you can include or exclude classes that meet on specific day(s) of the week.
Looking for Classes by Session?
Under Additional Search Criteria you can specify that you only want to see classes within a specific session. This is most useful during the summer when classes are divided into sessions. If you click the drop down box you will see a whole lot of weird and strange looking sessions. Don't be afraid! For Fall and Spring terms we only use two – Regular Academic Session and Mini Session. In Summer we only use Three Week, Eight Week, First Five Week, Second Five Week and Mini Session.
Looking for Online/Distance Delivery Classes?
Under Additional Search Criteria you can specify that you only want to see classes that meet at certain locations. To search for distance courses choose Distance Delivery under location. Only classes designated that way will be displayed.
Looking for East Campus Classes?
Under Additional Search Criteria you can specify that you only want to see classes that meet at certain locations. To search for East Campus classes choose East Campus under the location. Only classes designated that way will be displayed.

Not sure if someone has noticed this yet... We keep complaining about how Blizzard has changed and started implementing additional micro-transaction; correct me if Im wrong, this ALL started after Activision purchased Blizzard and apparently made it their money cow biatch... Hate Activision and kinda Blizzard for selling out
Artificial said...
"correct me if Im wrong, this ALL started after Activision purchased Blizzard"
You are wrong.
> You are wrong.
Citation or clarification, please.
In July 2008, Vivendi (which owned Blizzard Entertainment) merged with Activision.
Paid realm transfer service was available (at least) in 2006.
Lil' K.T. became the first pet sold on the Blizzard Store in November 2009.
Mobile auction house service became available august 2010.
I say nothing about causation - Blizzard Entertainment under Vivendi might well have started the "pay for pets" thing sooner or later.
I don't really consider the realm transfer service part of the microtransaction trend. But certainly the pets and mounts started being sold after the merger. Whether that means that Blizzard is a "money cow biatch" or not is an observation left up to the individual.

How to Calculate Dasha and Antardasha
Antardasha is the extended period of a Mahadasha that is subdivided into into nine segments of Mahadasha. It is also known as 'sub-ruling-periods'. Antardasha runs in the same order as the Mahadashas with the same proportional length.
Mahadasha periods of Planets
Dasha and antardasha of planets are calculated on the basis of the years of mahadasha of the planet with the other planet.
|Maha Dasha Time Period
|Sun or Surya Mahadasha
|6 Years
|Moon or Chandra Mahadasha
|10 Years
|Mars or Mangal Mahadasha
|7 Years
|Mercury or Budh Maha Dasha
|17 Years
|Jupiter or Guru Mahadasha
|16 Years
|Venus or Shukra Mahadasha
|20 Years
|Saturn or Shani Maha Dasha
|19 Years
|Rahu Maha Dasha
|18 Years
|Ketu Maha Dasha
|7 Years
Calculation of Dasha and Antardasha
1.For finding out the time period of the antardasha of a planet, in the dasha of the same, or another planet multiply the years of dasha of the former planet with the years of dasha years of the latter planet. Divide the product by the total years of dasha of all the planets i.e 120. The product of the planets are divided by 120 years, because in the Vimshottari Dasha system the total number of years assigned to all planets is 120 years.
For example - To find Antardasha of the Sun in the Mahadasha of Venus, multiply the dasha of Venus with the dasha of Sun and then divide the product with 120 to get the result.
Venus dasa - 20 years
Sun dasa - 6 years
20 x 6 = 120 = 12 months and 0 x 3 days = 12 months
Thus the Antardasha of the Sun in Mahadasha of Venus will be 12 months or 1 year.
2.For finding the period of Pratyantar Dasha of the same planet, or any other planet in the antardasha of another planet multiply the years of the antardasha with the years of dasha of the other planet and divide the product by the total years of Dasha years of all the planets. The result will represent the Pratyantar Dasha of the planet.
3.The Antardashas of the Charadi Kendradi Dasha of the planets are calculated by dividing the years of dasha of the planets by 9. The first dasha belongs to the Lord of the dasha. Thereafter, there will be antardashas of planets, placed in Kendras, Panapharas and Apoklimas, respectively, according to their strength and weaknes.
4.The Antardashas of signs are calculated dividing the years of dasha by 12.

Is there anything better than pork shoulder?
Although the weather begs to differ, it's definitely starting to feel like fall, which generally means it's the season for braising meat. Unctuous, tender meat that falls apart and melts in your mouth. One of my favorite cuts is pork shoulder. It's massively flavorful, with the added bonus of nearly infinite versatility and ease. All you need to do is season it, sear all sides to a rust-colored crispy brown, drain the fat, add vegetables and other flavoring elements and a liquid about halfway up the meat. Pop it in the oven for a few hours, depending on how big it is, checking it periodically for tenderness. The best part about braising? It tastes like you've been in the kitchen all day when really the oven does most of the work.
I often use a coarse mirepoix and fresh herbs, perhaps some wine or tea but not this time. Admittedly, it was a throw-together kind of dinner, but the ingredient mix seemed thoughtfully organic. I used star anise, black garlic, and pumpkin ale, to further along the fall theme, seasoning the pork simply with pink salt and white pepper. But what happened was a beautiful, deep marriage of spice, sweetness and richness.
Even better, I was able to reduce down the dark yummy liquid to a glaze! To pair with the pork, I made a buttery cauliflower mash and creamy red lentils with onion and almond. All it needed was a drizzle of the glaze, some chopped cilantro and mint to finish the plate.
The depth of flavor was incredible, and although it looked like rich on top of rich on top of rich, it was hearty without being heavy. Which is just perfect for me.

If UKIP you wont need condoms.
Posh Wank off.
UKIP – they won't let Euro rules go through on the nodder…
Not even Huhne can stop their emissions.
Nor mine.
When EU need protection………….
Still no one hasn't explained why Mrs T didn't give us a vote on EU?
Meanwhile, back in the 21st Century…
Never waste an opportunity for a shag by whipping out your crappy old ukip condom at the vital moment.
Tory traitor.
Can you feel the hatred?
Or Heath, Or Blair Or Brown OR Cameron.
What is it with the left's hate of powerful female leaders?
"Female"? Thatcher – you can't be serious!?
Thanks for proving the case.
Tory boys with very small dicks think she's female.
"think she's female" so do you.
leaders ? Who is the other one then. I hope you aren't thinking of palin.
As a youth I actually wanked about Lady T
Unlike Frey Bent R us face Camermong
Maggie was described as the only man in her cabinet
Oh. 29 was supposed to go at the end.
Probably because i half thought of replying but didnt bother.
Here we go: in the 1980s wasn't europe progressing in the "free trade area" direction at the time. Was there a major treaty in those years? I do know why she didnt give us a referendum on Maastricht if that helps you. She probably also thought that she was able to have europe "a la carte".
The Maastricht Treaty was signed on 7 February 1992. Margaret Thatcher left Downing Street on 28 November 1990.
You are confusing the EU with Europe. Europe I can live quite happily with, the EU, never.
I thought it was because she loved EU like the rest of the leaders but her supports like to pretend she didn't.
yes cat.
No Man.
Was she mad?
She was the only sane one in the HoC.
AC1 says, that is what most mad people think.
If you remember (I'm sure you don't) the 1980s, we were going through a great deal of economic change, migrating from a moribund nationalised manufacturing based economy to a more active and free services-based economy.
Adding an in/out referendum to the mix would have created a hell of a lot of instability, added to which Maggie managed to opt us out of the worst of Maastricht anyway.
Since we're currently fucked whether in or out, now is a good time to hold a referendum – never mind the 99%, it's time the 80% had their say.
"a more active and free services-based economy"
How's that working out?
a lot better than British Leyland.
Now we just need to minimise the governments extortion level to return to growth.
"a more active and free services-based economy", so she is the one who fucked UK up! Rather than blaming Brown blame Mrs T for the fuck up.
It's working quite well, thankyou.
Now back to your alphabet blocks before Nursie finds you've been spelling naughty words again, you puerile cünt.
U+03C5 is available without umlaut.
Well The Paragnostic, Mrs T fucked this country up well and proper her stupid ideas were followed by Blair as well; now the country is in ruins.
You cannot live off imports and debts from the producers.
Hahaha. A refugee from CiF!! It's all Fatchers fault!!!
The dead were not being buried under the previous Labour administration when she came to power, jgm2. Judging by anonymongs comments, that appears to be the case again now.
The dead were not being buried under the previous Labour administration when she came to power, jgm2. Judging by anonymongs comments, that app.ears to be the case again now.
Thanks, Cat – I've been using & codes.
Will give it a go : cυnt
Who are you calling cυnt, cυnt?
"you cannot live off imports and debt from producers"
Where did I say we can? We need a strong manufacturing industry, just as we need to be able to provide services that people want to buy.
What we don't need is the monumental pile of crap that nationalisation and union power left us with at the end of the 70s, or the bloated public sector that 13 years of Labour has left us with. Someone has to make things or sell services to pay the tax to fund the diversity coordinators and LGBT reacharound workers, and unfortunately it's getting less and less attractive to do that in the UK.
Low tax, and membership of the European Economic Area are what we need – bring sovereignty back where it belongs.
Mrs T destroyed manufacturing industry, it was continued by Blair as well. Most other countries had mad unions as well but the governments of those countries didn't destroy manufacturing industry.
Take Germany they are one of the most successful country in the world, they are in EU. In Germany employees are paid much more than UK and still they have world class manufacturing industry.
You might want to be in EEA but whether they want you is another question.
Well done that man
Now where are my fucking glasses?
Anonymous – Mrs T didn't destroy manufacturing. A lot of it was dead on it's feet anyway. In 1979, 45% of public spending went on propping up nationalised industries, because they couldn't make a profit. British Steel were still using blast furnaces built in the 1920's, for example.
All Mrs T did was clear out the deadwood. Good companies, and the productive parts of de-nationalised industries, survived.
Germany is not that successful. They have low investment, high taxation and high unemployment.
Just look at Mrs T's boys Sir Mark and Dr Fox; even Blair and his ugly wife will look honest compared to these two.
Germany doesn't have mad unions – in fact they have very sensible unions, who have been known to take wage cuts in order to save jobs and keep plants open.
The typical German company also has worker representation – and is run by technical personnel rather than bean counters. Many large German enterprises are still family owned, and tend to look at investments in the long and medium term rather than the short term. Post war nationalisation, and the shortage of materials caused by our large war debts (which Germany did not have) made the success of family owned firms like Morris and Jaguar impossible. Want me to go on?
Yes – they do things better in Germany, but they have done so for ages and their imposition of EU rules on their producers is less manic than here in the UK. They have struggled to integrate the old East Germany, where socialism produced poverty and pollution in equal measure, but they're doing well. They'd do even better if their nett contributions to the EU were lower, but it's a Franco-German project and they like it.
You wont get a referendum ever these poloticians are not here to take notice of the public Kipper Cameron has already stated on TV that he wont have a referendum regardles of the vote in the HoC which we all know will be subject to the whip
Such a vote would be democratic and Kipper Cameron, Brown Blair and Clegg the liar don't believe in democracy
They are shitbag wankers to a man.
My name is Kipper Cameron I'm an arsehole and a snob
I promised referendums untill I got my job
Throughout the last election you believed my CAST IRON vow
But I don't give a fuck for you, I'm the PM now
I am all for the EU I think there realy great
And if they want your money I will hand it on a plate
I will not fight their burocrats, or cut back immigration
I will do my utmost to fuck the British Nation
So forget your Rule Britania that was prosperous and free
Forget when you could speak your mind I demand PC
I know a million immigrants in Britain are employed
Whilst all our youth are unemployed and I am overjoyed
Anonymong…Take your feckin tablets you soddin n.u.t.t.e.r
Marmite, you are a thick ass hole.
Birry you is a massive pirrock, innit?
Pity your parents had not heard of them.
Fucking clone her!
Where were those condoms made?
UKIP = W*nkers. They're all the same.
No EU no money.
I think the word is BONKERS!
Yeah UKIP are crazy alright, they only want a free and democratic country. You know, one that is not forced by directives from unelected Kommissars, to spend billions on trash like wind farms.
Or pay a tithe to those same unelected dictators, of billions of pounds a year, just for the privilege of them ordering us around.
You are right people who don't like that are raving loons and utterly BONKERS!
Crazy racist xenophobes…
So glad they're a ridiculous irrelevance. There are big boys here who want to talk about proper politics.
Talk about proper politics?
Your dismissal of UKIP as 'crazy racist xenophobes' shows how grown-up your level of argument is – most people would try to point out problems with policy, rather than using a reflex catch-all cliché like that.
I like the Common Market. I like foreign countries, and most of the people I meet when I visit them. I like having a wide variety of creeds and cultures living in the paradise that is Aldershot.
I don't like having some unelected committee in Brussels or Strasbourg deciding which laws my elected representatives can and cannot implement. It's that simple, really – we signed up for a Common Market and not for an EU super-state.
I do hate Jocks and socialists, but that's just because they tend to fuck things up if we let them run things.
Like the Swiss? Fuck me, I'd love to be mad as a Swiss – loads of wealth, not too many mosques, and "One flew over the Cuckoo Clock"…
You need to leave the EUSSR, abolish VAT, have low income taxation and re-introduce Schedule A tax to keep wealth creation from stagnating in land.
"Not too many Mosques" Typical ukippers, so predictable…
If only we'd had the foresight to horde Nazi gold too. Hindsights a wonderful thing. Maybe we should have done more to copy the Nazis. Adolf would be so proud of you.
That's 'hoard', you imbecile – 'horde' is a collective noun for a group of people, as in 'being overrun by hordes of Jocks'.
I hereby declare this thread Godwinned.
And a free machinegun, great watches and mainly Germanic
Swiss Bliss
Also French and Italian
Individually wrapped tea bags. What a great idea, dear.
Quite right. I don't want UKIP members breeding.

Withdrawal doesn't always work. Remember "Hard Target" when Van Damm is fighting Lance Hendriksen at the end and pops a grenage down Hendriksen's pants?
Hendriksen unscrews the grenade and takes out the centre explosive detonator just in time and grins, then the detonator flashes and goes all the way into the grenade.
The last words Hendriksen says in the film is "Oooops!".

Instead of risking my life an livelihood doing loop-the-loops with his poncy banners trailing behind, perhaps, at the next election, Nigel would be so good as to put one of these over his head and inflate it manually, as an attention-seeking stunt.

I read the items in the photograph as "Never waste an Erection."
I claim this as a trademark for my latest product.
Ironically I'm seeing the CE stamp of approval on the fucking things.
I have never benefited from knowing that man, Mr Fox.
In the Biblical sense of the word?
And our management still rips off our shareholders for billions after having been saved out by the Fed, "settled" fraud claims for hundreds of milssions and being under the trat of multi billion legal against by the US Government

So the US and Israeli governments and funders of poor old Foxy are "angry" are they ?
Pull the other one chums
They are playing the victim card now with their myriad of public relations people and fellow travelers in the British press (and elsewhere) now that their funding has been exposed…
Why did the funders fund him ? Just to give him some ehappy times" ? Come on…
What did they want ?
Who would benefit from "influencing" the British Defence Minsiter
Bicom only want peace and harmony in the worlld
Come on
Why do the Israelis continue to colonise the Occupied Territories ?
Their disinformation is obscene
I simply cannot believe this. As if UKIP supporters ever have sex….
Face the facts Guido and Neo
Who funded Fox ?
And why ?
Before trying to divert attention please
We have no connection with the Israeli government
You are a bigot and an anti-semite.

No, love. I'll tell you what. They can't park their Mercs to save their lives.

There is clearly no security in the Ministry of Defence
As much as you ever expect after 13 years of treasonous government
All these UK journalists followed the UK Defence Secretary on his multiple visits ?
Why did they not see anything ?

All public acts of homosexuality should be punished by death
I think I would like a little more clarification on this position or is UKIP no longer the UK Independence Party , the clue is in the Independence bit .
George monbiot doesnt useually catch my eye these days , but I think when you look at back Labour the lobby corpratist state was in there from the off in 1997 , its hard to say when it became the similar sort of EU monster , where fake and unsustainable markets were lobbied into creation , one of my favourites was the great kiwi fruit rush , and the great olive tree rip out , some consider the windy millar generation one to be of the same idea .
Yes Tom Watson is forgetting so much isnt he , the lobby circuits , the media parties ,the quangos that didnt do anything , the EU money that dictated developement for friends .
Most of my life I have grown up with a sort of cinema image of whitehall , the men from the ministry , would evaluate projects properly, we trusted the executive to be competant and honest about executive decisions , if anything lobbyiests should have there say and matters be evaluated in commite , good comapnies that offer good service to the tax payer should always be perhaps given descrition in award .The only ones the public perhaps shouldnt know is stratregic defence or counter terrorism , but apart from that the executive decisions should be discussed and recorded properly .
The werrity saga , perhaps also highlights what the executive may have become during the Labour years . because quite a bit of tax payer got blown on projects that never worked .
Found this quite amusing, to the tune of "I will survive"
At first we took the aid
We were petrified
Kept thinking we could only live
with Germans by our side
But then we spent so many nights
Thinking how you did us wrong
And we grew strong
And learned to string you all along
and so we're back
Just watch this space
What are the yields doing up here
you've got a sad look on your face
We should have made people pay tax
And begun austerity
But were busy on the beach
And you bail us out for free
Go on now go walk out the door
Things turned around now
And the Dax is on the floor
Merkel the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Watch the Euro tumble
EuroStox become the S M I
Oh no, not I
I will survive
oh as long as Trichet buys our bonds
I know I'll stay alive
We have our cushy lives to live
And in return nothing to give
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)

Clara and I wrote and recorded this for the Fall Creek Elementary School Talent Show, and she lip synced it with friends Ava, Clare, Grace, Nuala, and Tivona. It's a parody of "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz - see the (child-inappropriate) video on YouTube. I think it has to do with the similarities between the two most virulent parasites of childhood: pediculosis and Top 40 radio earworms.
For Tom and Leela. Written and recorded this morning.
First track off of the 10 10! album, recorded live by my old band, God And Country, at the Risley coffeehouse at Cornell University on October 10, 1987. The song is about a time when all the Jesuses on all the crucifixes across the country shake loose and jump down. They then walk to the sea and jump in, prompting thousands of people to follow them.
I improvised this while playing guitar for my daughter while she took her bath, one rainy Sunday in 2008, having just driven home from my wife's cousin's wedding in Vermont. I was just singing what was going on. Then it seemed worth remembering.
It took two years to get it recorded. The rain storm recording was from last night, after I spent most of the day finishing the solo guitar and bass tracks.
I got my daughter a lap dulcimer for her birthday in… 2007 maybe? Then, of course, I fooled around with it some. One day I was playing this. Clara asked what it was called, and I said I didn't know - had just made it up - and she could name it. We had been talking about how nice daisies were, and how roses got more respect but in some ways I preferred the daisies - friendly, gregarious, long-lasting. And so she said "It's 'The Rose and the Daisy!'".
Last week her kindergarten class had a field trip to a flower shop. read more...
I recorded this quickly for my daughter's kindergarten class to practice with. We performed it together at the All-School Program on 12 Feb 2010. Lots of kids sang along! That's Clara and Katherine shouting the alphabet. My good recording gear wasn't working, so this is recorded on a cheap condenser mic and a Sound Blaster card.
I have now officially given up trying not to write songs about water. Maybe it's because they always come to me in the shower? read more...
Clara sang the chorus of this song to herself during her bath one Sunday after spending much of the afternoon exploring outer space. I wrote the verses. We recorded it a cappella - including all the sound effects.
Recorded May 2, 2009 in honor of Pam Weber's birthday. Hope we can sing with you soon!
I've now got the first batch of songs moved over from my old music page. It's my most recent album (now nine years old), called off line. Took me a while to work out the right way to represent songs and albums in the Drupal content management system, but now it's all quite easy to deal with and I hope that (and my weakness for shiny new technologies) will help accelerate the process.
This CD, confusingly titled off line, is a retrospective of my favorites from the last two albums, plus some new things. (Hey, one of the nice things about not having a recording contract is that you're free to revise the past and edit out the songs you're tired of!) It was time for a CD, and counting the moon was too long as it was… And I wanted to remaster the old songs, and fix things that had always bothered me. So the theme here is "songs from the analog age" - all these songs were first recorded on analog tape, even the new ones. read more...

When I created Bike Shop Girl a few months back it was mainly out of frustration for the lack of information that is readily available for women. The basics are out there, but you have to be a Google Jedi Master to find the right answers, and often you are left with half-assed ones that only confuse you more. My goal for this site has always been to be a resource, and maybe a place I have a rant or two but that isn't the point.
Though limited, here are some of my favorite online resources. Some of these resources are targeted towards women, others are targeted towards cyclist in general but have great knowledge within their .com walls.
What sites do you frequent or recommend? Turn us on to other blogs or sites that have helped you become a stronger cyclist. Better yet, how can Bike Shop Girl become a better resource for you

I live in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, in an apartment with my mother. The neighborhood I live in is quite interesting and pretty fun and somewhat spacious. One interesting fact about me is my involvement in the Legal Outreach program.

Kaddeem Wright enjoys reading philosophy and arguing with his friends about history and politics. With his smarts and innate curiosity about the world, Kaddeem seems like a kid who should thrive in school, but he's not. Instead he feels unmotivated and rarely does his homework. He scrapes by with a C average, something that frustrates him and his mom. Like a lot of kids, especially young black males in New York City, Kaddeem is not reaching his potential. He wants to know to why he and so many of his friends are barely getting by, uninspired by school or thoughts of the future.

If you thought digital servos were the exclusive domain of giant scale aerobatic airplanes and high-end helicopters, you'll be thrilled to know that JR has a digital servo for sport pilots. Benefiting from much of the same technology that goes into JR's premium digital servos, the DS811 Advanced Sport Digital Servo sets the standard in sport servos.
It is an excellent choice for sport applications, like 40- to .60-size pattern airplanes or .30-size CCPM trainer helis like the Venture™ 30CP. Matching it with a 4.8V battery pack yields an impressive 54 ounce inch of torque. Transit speeds are impressive too. With a 4.8V pack, the DS811 executes a 60-degree sweep in a brisk .18 seconds. Perhaps most impressive is that the DS811 offers all this extra performance for just a few bucks more than a standard non-digital sport servo, allowing anyone to enjoy the precise feel and unmatched accuracy of JR digital technology.
Add to all this JR's generous 3-year warranty, and it's easy to see why the DS811 is one of the best values in the hobby, if not the best in standard servos.

My family did not like this pie as is at all but with serious changes they love it. First I made a real crust out of either crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers and butter- so much better and easier to serve. Forget the sorbet and just use your favorite ice cream. For special occasions make layers of different ice cream. The original meringue is perfect.

which avalanch?
i know of at least to that have nothing to do with diesel stuff.
The site was http://www.avalancheengineering.com/ they made a bolt in crossmember for 67-72 and 73-87 gm trucks.
That stinks. They were supposedly working on a cross member for the GMT-400.
Yeah i was looking foward to that one since the 88-98 trucks are cheaper here then the 87 and older.
Wow that really is a shame, I was planning on purchasing one of their Cummins conversion crossmembers for my blazer.
They closed a long time ago. Friday march 13th 2009 to be exact. i only know that because i was one of the few that got laid off that day. i also had a lot to do with the design of that crossmember. i built the prototype and the jigs and many of the first rounds to go out.
if there is some interest i may be able to put you in contact with some fellows that are able to make it still. ill have to check on that and see. it may be totally dead.
RYANROO: Did you ever check to see if the jigs were still around somewhere? Is there CAD or CAM files or other technical docs that you can get? Does avalanche engineering hold a patent on this device? I know it is something that could be re-engineered, but these things sure would make a lot of our projects easier and probably safer..... I have resources to make this available again, just not from the ground up. PM me if you have anything that could get some of these produced again, and maybe we can figure something out.

THE 15th ANNUAL Weber Cup is set to take place at the Metrodome in Barnsley from Friday to Sunday 10th to 12th October and an unchanged Team Europe will be hoping for a repeat showing of the steely performance that won them the coveted trophy last year.
Having been whipped 17-7 in 2012, the Europeans trailed 1-5 after the first session and found themselves 8-10 down going into the final day, having never held the lead. However, Game 23 on Sunday afternoon saw them take the lead at last and they held on to take an impressive 17-14 victory.
They took the overall Weber Cup score to 8-6 in favour of the Americans.
Captained by veteran Mika Koivuniemi (Finland), the European team remains unchanged as they attempt to make it two in a row. Dominic Barrett, who makes his seventh Weber Cup appearance, enjoyed a superb 2013 which culminated in him winning the PBA World Championship.
Making up the team is former European No.1 Martin Larsen (Sweden) who returns for his third Weber Cup appearance, and Stuart Williams – the first Englishman to win a title on the PBA Tour.
Team USA have one change to last year's side. Out goes Mike Fagan to be replaced by 37 year-old Texan Wes Malott, who will be making his Weber debut.
Chris Barnes is back to captain the side in what will be his ninth appearance in the event.
The team also includes Weber Cup 300 man Tommy Jones, and former PBA Rookie of the Year Bill O'Neill.

Annapolis is buying trees and selling them to residents at a loss in order to help achieve its goal of a 50 percent tree canopy by 2036.
"In some cases, we are only charging the residents half the price of what we are paying," said Maria Broadbent, director of the Department of Neighborhoods and Environmental Programs. "It is the City's way to help increase our tree canopy and the benefits trees provide, while reducing the financial burden to the property owners."
In 2006, the city entered into an agreement with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to increase Annapolis' urban tree canopy from 42 percent to 50 percent by 2036, according to a press release.
In order to achieve that goal, the city is offering reduced rates on certain types of trees for residents to plant on private property. Trees can be purchased online until Nov.1, and residents will need to be present to receive their tress on Nov. 9 or contact Jan van Zutphen at 410-263-7946.
Broadbent said in the past the city secured grants to purchase trees and give them out for free. Those trees were often small, and Broadbent said they had a spotty survival rate.
The money for these trees comes from a fee paid to the city by developers and homeowners whenever a tree is removed for construction, Broadbent said. She thinks these larger, older trees that the city will sell should survive much better.
"This partnership is an opportunity to make an environmental commitment to our community and to our children," Mayor Josh Cohen said in a press release. "We are stewards of the environment and it is well documented that trees clean the air by reducing the carbon dioxide and replenishing the oxygen."
The Anne Arundel Sierra Club endorsed the tree sale, but it's chair David Prosten said proposed developments around Annapolis make achieving the 50 percent canopy goal difficult.
"While we applaud the city for this effort, we would also urge the mayor to do all he can to save the existing tree canopy at the site of proposed new developments such as Crystal Springs," Prosten said. "Saving mature canopy is always the easiest, most environmentally sound and economical way to go."
The Annapolis Board of Appeals rejected the plans to build about 160 homes adjacent to Quiet Waters park on Sept. 19, but a 500-home development known as Crystal Springs is still working its way through the city's approval process.
The following trees are being offered by DNEP at the reduced rate:
- 1.75" Diameter - Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea 'Autumn Brilliance')Height: 6'-20', Spread: 10'. Erect stems, often clumped. Blends well on the edge of woodland or shrub border with evergreen background. Nice white flowers in spring. Important berry producer during the early summer months. Fruit eaten by bluebirds, cardinals, and tanagers. Full sun to partial shade.Cost - $80.00
- 6' Height - Riverbirch (Betula nigra 'Heritage') Height: 40'-70', Spread: 40'-60'. Handsome specimen tree that is well suited to areas that are wet a portion of the year and quite dry in the summer and fall. Attractive bark. Cost - $49.00.
- 1.75" Diameter - Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy') Height: 20'-30', Spread: 25'-30'. Small tree with rounded crown, pink to purplish flowers in April. Likes moist, well drained soils. Full sun to light shade. Good as specimen tree or in shrub border. Cost - $85.00
- 2" Diameter - Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolors) Height: 50'-60', Spread 50'-60'. Good shade tree. Full sun or semi-shade. Easily grown in wet soils. Excellent drought resistance once established. Cost - $90.00
- 1.75" Diameter - Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana) Height: 25'-40', Spread: 17'-27'. The tree performs well in city plantings and is an attractive mid-sized tree. Likes full sun or partial shade. Cost - $86.00
- 1.75" Diameter - Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) Height: 70'-100', Spread: 60'-80'. Requires sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well drained soil. Can grow very rapidly. Leaves have a tendency to drop all summer. Cost - $61.00

I hate her. Of this I'm certain.
That smug miko of ebony and ice - with eyes as sharp as glass and ivory skin as cold as the grave.
I love her. Of this I'm certain.
That gentle woman, as pure and perfect as a porcelain doll.
She raises her arms to me; the silver arrow flooded with her physic power - arrows that burn into my lovely flesh.
"What have you done?!" She demands, the arrow a taunt line between us, a clear boundary - stay away.
I smirk. She's frightened. I smell it and my demon blood quickens.
You fear me? Do you still not understand how much I love you? I sacrificed my body - my life - for you!
Her face is frozen in perfect horror as my new body reveals its secrets, the sharp blade cutting deep into her flesh. Understanding flashes into her pained eyes even as I dimly acknowledge that fact she does not bleed.
It wasn't supposed to be like this! It's not too late!
Clay does not bleed. Dead do not bleed. The souls are fleeing her clay body. Even if I do not kill her now, she will not live. She is broken now - unable to sustain her own un-life.
"You underestimated me Kikyou. As long as I carried that worthless human heart within my breast I could not hurt you. But even now, as I crush you, I do not feel a thing."
But I do!
Paralyzed I watch her fall. My own shock reflected in her eyes. I've killed her; the cold miko with eyes of ice and hands as gentle as a summer breeze. My Kikyou. The demons surge, delighted in the death of a hated enemy even as my human self crumbles, destroyed by the knowledge of killing her once again; his anguish becoming so great that my strong demon self falters. For a moment I stand there stunned by the strange emotion sweeping through me. An emotion I'd tasted but once before - long ago when I was still the weak human, Onigumo.
A weak human emotion, the demons assure me, aiding me in locking my human self away.
For the first time in decades I watch the sun set. Its brilliant colors reaching towards me - as her hands did. The pain is still there, even though my human self is once more chained away. I cannot erase from my memory the piercing gray of her eyes, the sweep of her ebony hair, the sharp gasp of air that was her last, or the look of betrayal as she fell to her death - a death once again at my hands. There is no blood but I'll never be able to wash away its stains. Though I separated myself from my human heart, the feelings are still there. I was wrong. It was not just Onigumo that loved her.
I love her. Of this I'm certain.
I love her. Of this I'm certain.
The girl who is the mirror of the woman - a child of ebony and sunshine. She trembles as I gently caress her cheek, my talons smearing the blood that covers her face. Whispering gentle words of devotion I hold her close, delighting in the shivers that run through her body.
Do you see it yet? How much I love you?
Gently I press my lips to her forehead savoring the sweet taste of her blood and sweat. She opens her mouth to protest, choking on her own blood. I quickly hush her.
Haunted eyes watch me. The same eyes I remember from decades before, glaring back at me as I sunk my talons deep into her soft flesh.
Kikyou...now do you understand? You are mine!
"You are mine," I whisper repeating the need of my human/demon self. Understanding flashes into her fading eyes.
You will love me! You MUST love me!
Silently I hold the shard before her, an unspoken question - the boy or me? Death or life?
See how much I love you! Enough to free you from the confines of human flesh! Enough to share my power with you!
She looks past me, to the crumpled form of the boy.
"InuYasha..." Her dying words drip from her lips.
Stunned I stare at the corpse in my arms.
It's wrong - all wrong.
She should've loved me...
...but something went wrong. She doesn't. Thrice her lover had failed to save her. Thrice she called his name, not mine. She never calls my name.
I sit back and wait. Time is of no importance anymore. Nothing matters, but the sound of my name on her lips. Years fade into decades fade into centuries. Five centuries. I see her now, walking towards me. She smiles.
"Good morning Hojo-kun."
Her smile widens as she looks past me, seeing him - the boy from her past, the man of her future. She runs to him leaving me with nothing but the memory of my name on her sweet lips.
I love her. Of this I'm certain.
I hate her. Of this I'm certain.

This was a delicious recipe. Just make sure you use regular strawberry yogurt. I used thick and creamy kind, so it came out a bit lumpy but it was still very tasty. Next time I think I will use more raspberries than strawberries, just because I am partial to the taste. I served with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Very good recipe!

YUCK! I made this for a (casual, luckily) dinner party and four adults and five kids thought it was awful. WAY too sweet and one kid even asked if there was wine in it, so much for the taste of the wine cooking out.
