We loved the turkey, but were not huge fans of the sauce. I omitted olives, since we don't like them. But the sauce was quite bland. I love the method of cooking the turkey and will try this again with a white sauce next time.
Mediterranean Turkey Cutlets and Pasta

Renee D Posted: 10/13/09
My family loved this recipe. I may have been a little more generous with the Greek Seasoning but I love the flavor. I don't think it would be as good with Italian seasoning. It was pretty quick and I really liked this way of cooking turkey.
steponme Posted: 08/16/10Missouri City, TX
I added a small can of tomato sauce b/c the sauce was too thin and a little extra of the herbs and salt to meat and sauce. After those modifications it was more flavorful and the pasta didn't soak up all the sauce.
kkgrobaski Posted: 11/08/12
We LOVED this! We substituted chicken for the turkey and I only had diced tomatoes so I added olive oil, balsamic and dried basil. My kids ate it up and asked for seconds. I would probably double the "sauce" next time just to have a little more but this was a quick and easy meal to make and it will definitely go into our weekly rotation.

A cold-blooded murderer or the victim of a campaign of rumors and lies meant to convict him?
Those are the two sides of Drew Peterson that jurors heard about during closing arguments Tuesday. But, jurors will not start deliberating the evidence and Peterson's fate until Wednesday morning.
Prosecutor Chris Koch pointed right at Drew Peterson and told jurors it is clear he killed Kathleen Savio. He then recounted all the evidence the state says proves it. Forensic experts said Savio was murdered and the 14 different recent injuries on her body could not come from a single fall in the tub.
Koch told jurors the motive and intent was clear: Peterson did not want Savio to get his pension or the kids and he didn't want to pay child support in the divorce.
Koch pointed to hearsay testimony from Savio's sisters and friends who said Drew threatened to kill her and make it look like an accident. He recounted the hearsay statements from Stacy Peterson who said Drew coached her to lie to police about what happened the night Savio was murdered and how she wanted to squeeze him for money in her divorce by threatening to go to police with that information.
The two sides boiled the case down to this: prosecutors repeatedly told jurors to use their common sense when evaluating all the evidence which they say points clearly to Drew Peterson as a killer.
"The truth is the truth and the truth will come out, and the truth will bring justice for Kathleen," said Savio's sister, Susan. "It doesn't take a brain scientist to figure out who did it and why."
In his closing argument, defense attorney Joe Lopez told jurors "following your common sense doesn't mean ignoring the evidence" and he said their experts said Savio's injuries and death were the result of a slip and fall accident in her bathtub. "Experts can't agree on anything, that's not proof beyond a reasonable doubt… that is doubt" Lopez argued, saying jurors had a duty.
"Its' their patriotic duty to follow the law and the law demands this case be thrown out because the state hasn't proved it beyond a reasonable doubt, that's what their patriotic duty is," Lopez said.
Lopez suggested the state's case was so full of holes it was like "swiss cheese." But prosecutor James Glasgow suggested the evidence was like a bundle of sticks, which together could not be broken.
"All this evidence ties together, with common sense you can't help but see it, I know the jury's been seeing the same thing," Pam Bosco, Stacy Peterson's family spokesperson, stated.In Glasgow's final words to jurors he argued "When you put all the evidence together, it's solid it's real and it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Drew Peterson murdered Kathleen Savio in cold blood."
Wednesday, the Drew Peterson jury will start deliberating the same question that juries consider every day: whether it's a murder trial or a DUI.
Did the prosecution prove the defendant is guilt beyond a reasonable doubt?
This case isn't so simple because the jury is being asked to rule on the death of Peterson's third wife, while ignoring the highly-publicized disappearance of wife number four.
The twelve jurors deciding Drew Peterson's fate came from an original pool of about 200 potential jurors. They were all told three years ago to stop watching TV reports and reading newspaper stories about the Peterson case.
So, when the trial began five weeks ago, they probably knew less about the case than the general public. Now, they know a lot more.
For the jurors, seven men and five women, the first task was choosing a foreperson. After that, just about anything goes. Some juries start by taking take an unofficial straw poll to see where they stand. Others choose to go through the testimony, one witness after another, deciding who was credible and who wasn't.
Typically, leaders surface in the jury room -- individual jurors who take it upon themselves to lead undecided jurors toward their own point of view.
Here, the jury includes a college student who is studying broadcasting, a divorced man who works for the postal service, a research technician who likes watching the TV show "Criminal Minds," and a divorced woman who reads mystery novels and true crime books.
One of the keys to these deliberations will probably be whether the jurors follow the judge's instructions, ignoring several prosecution comments that they heard in open court and were told to dismiss. It's not easy to erase those words once you've heard them.

The Whirlwind by Kershaw Knives and Ken Onion, is one of the original members of the Ken Onion family, and is still one of the most popular with Kershaw. The Whirlwind 1560st is composed of a Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel and a black injection-molded polyimide handle. The Sandvik 14C28B stainless steel used for the blade of the Kershaw Whirlwind is also coated with Tungsten DLC to provide a scratch-resistant surface that is also non-reflective and extends the sleek look of the blade. The serrated blade of the Kershaw 1560st allows for an extended cutting surface with increased control when sawing materials. The polyimide handle offers texturized, ergonomic design that is molded to fit in comfortably into the hand of the user without adding weight to the knife, which would hinder the multiple uses of the Whirlwind. Like many other Kershaw Knives, the Whirlwind 1560st features the SpeedSafe assisted opening system, as well as a locking liner, to ensure the safe, smooth use of the knife. The SpeedSafe assisted opening system allows for easy, one-handed deployment of the blade, while the locking liner locks the blade of the Kershaw 1560st securely in place while the blade is open and in use. The Kershaw Whirlwind, while it is one of the original members of the Ken Onion family, is still one of the most versatile and popular among Kershaw customers for its ease of use and sleek design.

Good Heavens!
A funny thing happened today. Daisy was in my room starting the fire when suddenly cousin- err… brother-in-law, Matthew burst into the room to wake me. He came to tell me I had gone viral!
I screamed in horror at the ghastly prospect! With the Spanish flu being only a recent terror, I panicked and crammed the whole mattress into the fireplace! Daisy ran away instantly (lest Carson find her in the room while this occurred). Matthew just laughed at my hysteria. He then explained to me that "viral" is simply a term for when one's reputation spreads rapidly, much LIKE a disease. I was positively embarrassed. I'm just happy Sir Anthony wasn't there to see me.
It seems a number of news outlets have taken an interest in me. Many of them all the way over in the United States! A popular periodical called "USA Today" even featured a photograph of me. How smart!
I'm told there is also something called the internet that my photos have been featured on prominently. Internet papers such as Vulture, Gawker, and Buzzfeed (to name a few). Even the US's National Public Radio is talking about me!
I still am not quite sure how all of this "internet" works. I've only just learned to drive, so I think I will take it slow and stick to that for the time being.
And it IS a bit disconcerting that my photographs have been replicated for the ENTIRE WORLD to see. I do hope that if somebody would like to look at my photos they would come straight to me. I don't mind the attention. Really. It gets quite lonely in this great big house with no one to talk to.
One thing is for certain though. This ought to show Papa and Mary just how clever I can be. I'm sure they will be just thrilled to know that I have a future in journalism of all things!
As for what's next for me? Who knows? The sky is the limit really! Marriage perhaps? Maybe some day I could even vote!
Thank you all for your support. Finally something is going on in this house that's about me!
Yours always,

Hi guys,
I'm new to MS-SQL 2005, I will ask you a bunch of questions and I hope I will not be too boring hehe !
I learned that in MS-SQL 2005, you can now use varchar(max), my question is why not always use varchar(max) since it will automatically use only the space needed ? Is there an advantage in specifying a size other than max when you use a varchar for an entry that can vary in length alot ?
Thank you very much,
There are a few diferences between VARCHAR(1-8000) and VARCHAR(MAX).
when you store data to a VARCHAR(N) column, the values are physically stored in the same way. But when you store it to a VARCHAR(MAX) column, behind the screen the data is handled as a TEXT value. So there is some additional processing needed when dealing with a VARCHAR(MAX) value. (only if the size exceeds 8000)
VARCHAR(MAX) or NVARCHAR(MAX) is considered as a 'large value type'. Large value types are usually stored 'out of row'. It means that the data row will have a pointer to another location where the 'large value' is stored. By default sql server will try to accomodate the value 'in row' but if it could not, it will store the large values 'out of row'. When values are stored 'out of row' there will be slight processing overhead in reading the information. Here is a good reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189087.aspx
I guess you cannot index a VARCHAR(MAX)/NVARCHAR(MAX) column.
coming back to your question:
I dont think it is bad to use VARCHAR(MAX) is bad. If you are storing smaller piecs of data in a VARCHAR(MAX) column, it will be treated as normal. If you dont want to index the column, then you can definitely go with VARCHAR(MAX) option.
But most people do not advise that. First of all, by having a VARCHAR(MAX) will confuse some one who looks at the data later on. For example, if you want to store a comment of 100 characters or address of 80 characters, why should you go for VARCHAR(MAX)? If you use Address VARCHAR(MAX), comments VARCHAR(MAX), Name VARCHAR(MAX), some one trying to read or write data on a later date will be confused. They will not know what is the expected size of the data and they will be compelled to use LARGE VALUE types always.
Again, these are not rules but conventions.

Obama vs. Romney in Arabic
For years, the Arabic press promoted the conspiracy that Jews fixed U.S. elections. That's changing.
Ubaydli's ideas are not new to ruling elites in the Gulf who read Al-Watan. To the extent Gulf rulers use such tools like oil-price fixing, as Saudis have in the past, they would probably put them at the service of the Republican Party. "There is a broad consensus here that Romney would be better for us," Abdullah Elmadani, a royalist intellectual in Bahrain with ties to the monarchy, told me. Elmadani noted the Gulf sheikhs' enduring gratitude to Republicans for liberating Kuwait, their hawkish stand on Iran (known thanks to Wikileaks cables), thinly veiled anger at the Obama Administration for abandoning Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak last year, and sympathy for the plight of Syria's rebels. Yet Gulf rulers' internal deliberations are notoriously opaque, which invites speculation as to why the Bahraini kingdom would allow Ubaydli's piece to run in a newspaper it controls. Perhaps it amounts to a warning of sorts.
But while elites in the Gulf favor Romney, others in the region prefer the incumbent. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior Brotherhood source told me that the movement's affiliates in the United States understandably regret their support for George W. Bush in 2000 and recognize that their unpopularity among Americans means that any expression of support by the Brotherhood for a given candidate would only hurt him. Nonetheless, R'hayyil Gharaibeh, chief of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood's political bureau, told me his preference: "Of course Obama is better," he said. "He is a big improvement on Bush in terms of the tone of his rhetoric and his decision to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan." My sense from travel and reporting in North Africa and the Middle East since the Arab Spring is that most Arab Muslims share Gharaibeh's preference to see Obama win this November—and that some will find ways to say as much in English in the remaining weeks of the campaign.
Arabs' growing recognition that American power is fluid probably owes something to the novelty of free elections in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. The natural human tendency to project one's own reality onto others means that a person living under tyranny would be more likely to believe that America, too, is unfree—whereas newly liberated societies can more easily reexamine the United States with an open mind. Last month's tragedy in Libya reminded Americans how little even a superpower can do to affect the course of distant peoples. Yet the reverberations of our domestic politics in the Arab world this season demonstrate that the power of our example may have a greater impact than we know.

Genetic Risk Factors and Offsetting Behavior: The Case of Skin Cancer
AbstractThis paper analyzes the extent of offsetting behavior using survey data on risk beliefs about skin cancer and precautionary actions that people can take to avoid this disease. The perspective taken is that, at conception, people are "installed" with differing genetic characteristics, such as skin type and complexion, which affect the likelihood of contracting skin cancer. The main issue addressed deals with how people's risk beliefs respond to the "safety features" reflected in their own genetic characteristics. Empirical results presented suggest that precautions against solar radiation exposure are chosen so as to partially offset genetic skin cancer protection. Copyright 1997 by Kluwer Academic Publishers

The fiscal Q4 numbers showed a 5% decline in revenue versus a year earlier, which the company attributed to low demand in emerging markets (particularly India). Mosaic was able to reduce its costs more or less in line with more »
More Headwinds For Fertilizer Stocks
By Vladimir Zernov - July 19, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, POT, MOS
Each year, the population of Earth grows by 75 million people. It will grow by 2 billion by 2050. All those people need to be fed somehow. In the meantime, the quantity of land available for agriculture diminishes every year. Land turns into desert or just wears out due to bad farming practices. You could imagine these two facts must be super-bullish for agricultural stocks. If you have less land more »
This Potash Producer Is Ripe for a Breakout!
By Ted Cooper - July 10, 2013 | Tickers: IPI, POT, MOS
In many industries, companies differentiate their products as a means to attract customers and justify higher prices. However, in commodity industries, the product is uniform and the price is set by the market. Therefore, the only way for companies to differentiate themselves is by becoming the lowest-cost producer -- thereby enabling the company to earn higher margins than its peers.
Potash producers sell a commodity product. Therefore, market leaders like Mosaic more »

According to the report on the 2013 outlook of the U.S. Agricultural sector published in February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture expects the sector to grow significantly through 2013 with the majority of that growth expected in the second half of the year. The sector is recovering following a slowdown last year, which affected several companies involved in the business. Even the manufacturers of Agricultural chemicals were not more »
Is This Company a Discount or a Trap?
By Matthew Frankel - July 9, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, POT, MOS
Mosaic (NYSE: MOS) is one of the world's leading producers of concentrated phosphate and potash which are two key crop nutrients used in agriculture. Due to elevated global inventories and volatile raw material costs, the company's earnings are expected to drop this year, which may create an interesting buying opportunity. Shares are down more than 67% from their 2008 peak, and have pulled back by 12% in the more »

What would you do if you won the lottery? How would it change your life? Follow a group of seven gas station employees in Queens, New York, who have been chipping into a lottery pool for years, never thinking they'd actually win. They need to be careful what they wish for, because while the money could solve problems for each of them, it will forever change the close-knit bonds these friends have formed, in ABC's new drama, "Lucky 7," which will premiere TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.
Nestled in the culturally diverse neighborhood of Astoria, the Gold Star Gas N' Shop is home to a surrogate family of co-workers whose lives will be transformed by an unexpected lottery win. Aside from the money, relationships will change as the trust between two brothers will be uprooted, budding romances will develop and secrets will come to the surface.
Matt Korzak (Matt Long) could get his very pregnant girlfriend, Mary Lavecchia (Christine Evangelista), and their other child out of his mother's house with some desperately needed cash. Matt's brother, Nicky (Stephen Louis Grush), an ex-con, could pay off a dangerous debt and pursue the huge crush he has on co-worker Samira Lashari (Summer Bishil). Samira, a second-generation Pakistani immigrant and a talented musician, could finally afford to go to her dream school, Juilliard. Denise Dibinksy (Lorraine Bruce), the tender-hearted Gold Star cashier, is struggling to lose weight and regain her former glory, but the winnings could provide an opportunity for her to rebuild her crumbling marriage. Leanne Maxwell (Anastasia Phillips), a young single mother, will try to keep her past hidden despite the spotlight the lottery win puts on her. Bob Harris (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.), the store's manager and quite possibly the nicest man in the world, wants to buy the Gold Star and make it into the perfect workplace he always imagined. And cheerful and charming Antonio Clemente (Luis Antonio Ramos) will discover ways to capitalize on the group's win in order to give his wife, Bianca (Alex Castillo), and their three kids a whole new life.
Now that their circumstances have changed, the "Lucky 7" will need to overcome obstacles, reach down deep to examine their values and find out who they really are if they're to enjoy their newfound wealth.
You'd think they have millions of reasons to celebrate -- but will they?
"Lucky 7" stars Summer Bishil ("Towelhead") as Samira Lashari, Lorraine Bruce ("Eden Lake") as Denise Dibinksy, Alex Castillo as Bianca Clemente, Christine Evangelista as Mary Lavecchia, Stephen Louis Grush ("Detroit 1-8-7") as Nicky Korzak, Matt Long ("Private Practice") as Matt Korzak, Anastasia Phillips ("Stoked") as Leanne Maxwell, Luis Antonio Ramos ("The Ruins") as Antonio Clemente and Isiah Whitlock, Jr. ("The Wire") as Bob Harris.
"Lucky 7," based on the British hit "The Syndicate," was written by David Zabel ("ER," "Detroit 1-8-7") and Jason Richman ("Detroit 1-8-7") and is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Zabel and Richman. The pilot was directed by Paul McGuigan. "Lucky 7" is produced by ABC Studios and Amblin Television and is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format with a 5.1 channel surround sound.

Happy 32nd Birthday Draco Lucius Malfoy! → June 5, 1980

Through his mother, Draco was a descendant of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black and the great-great-great grandson of Phineas Nigellus Black. Both the Malfoys and the Blacks had traditionally been in Slytherin House for centuries and strongly disapproved of any relatives who did not follow this tradition. [x]

There has been no evidence of any anti-American sentiment in recent demonstrations. Nevertheless, U.S. citizens in Peru are advised to avoid demonstrations and crowds, and to plan in-country travel in accordance with U.S. Embassy travel restrictions contained in the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for Peru.
Machu Picchu and other major tourist sites have been largely unaffected by political demonstrations. However, travelers have been occasionally inconvenienced by transportation strikes that have caused delays on the Cusco/Machu Picchu railroad, on major highways, and in downtown Lima. U.S. citizens are advised to avoid riding public buses during transportation strikes, as passengers have occasionally been injured in strike-related confrontations.
For further information on travel to Peru, please consult the Department of State's latest Consular Information Sheet for Peru. News and information about current events is also available on U.S. Embassy Lima's web site at www.rcp.net.pe/usa.

Updated 30th July 2013
You will normally qualify and get paid for Winter Fuel Payment provided that you were born on or before the 5th of January 1952. This applies to the coming winter of 2013-2014. You will also have to be living in the UK for the week of 16th September 3013 until 22nd of September 2013. This means that you will normally live here, and not simply pop into the UK to try and grab the money!
You should also be able to get this payment if you live elsewhere in Europe - or indeed in Switzerland. The government have been trying hard to prevent this, but seem to to have succeeded. However, if you live elsewhere in the world, you can forget about the Winter Fuel Payment. You will not get it. In effect, you will be discriminated against because you do not live in Europe!
A Winter Fuel Payment - Heating Allowance for over 60 - is made each year to those born on 5th January 1952 or earlier. It is to help with the ever-increasing cost of keeping warm in the winter months. Between the ages of 60 to 79 you are entitled to a payment of either £200 or £100. The sum depends upon what your circumstances were during the qualifying week of 16th to 22th September 2013.
See Also - Cold Weather Payments
If you were born on or before 5th January 1952......(But are not 80yrs old yet)
If you are over 80 years old – and you are entitled to this winter fuel payment, you will get either £300.00 - £200.00 or £150.00. (Again, this depends upon your circumstances during the qualifying week!)
You may need to make a claim for this winter payment, so make sure that you do this before 30th March 2012 or you could lose your fuel payment entitlement for this current winter. Together with this, if you have a partner who is receiving Winter Fuel Payment and you are not, you will have to make a claim for your winter fuel payment.
The good news is, THERE IS NO TAX to pay on this winter fuel payment!
If you do not get your 2013 - 2014 winter fuel payment automatically, then you will need to claim for payment for the winter of 2013 - 2014, You MUST claim and make sure that your form is returned on or before 30 March 2014. It is assumed that this age qualification will rise even further after that – maybe to 68 – or so for this fuel allowance!
What is this qualifying period about?
If you received your fuel payment last year for last winter, then you should automatically get it this year without having to do anything.
The Winter Fuel Payment will be paid directly into your bank, or you will be sent a cheque if that is the way you requested it. The Winter Fuel Allowance Payment will normally be sent out in either November or December. You will normally get a letter to tell you how much you are going to get, and when you are going to get it.
If you are Receiving any Benefits......
Your Winter Fuel Payment will be paid in the same way that you get paid your other benefit payments.
However This is not the case where you are receiving Child Benefit, Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit.
If you are part of a 'couple' there will be one payment for you both, if you are both receiving Pension Credit, Job Seekers Income Based Allowance or ESA - Income Related.
If you are getting State Pension, or another Social Security benefit - You should get the Winter Fuel Payment automatically. (Social security benefits do not include Housing Benefit, Child benefits or Council Tax reduction.)
It is now too late to claim for any winter fuel payment you did not receive last year - 2012-2013.
If you did not receive your fuel payment last year – because you were not entitled to it – but were 60 or over during weeks of 15 - 21st September 2011 – AND were receiving your state pension (or other type of social security payments - other than Normal Housing Benefit, Child Benefit or Council Tax Benefit) then you should also get your winter fuel payment automatically.
It is either paid into your Bank direct, or a post office account, or possibly by cheque at the address where you live. You should get a letter telling you how you will be paid.
You will need to claim if you are not receiving any of the 'State' benefits - but are only claiming Housing Benefits, Child Benefit, Council Tax Reduction.
If you are getting your payment for the first time this year, you can have the money paid direct into your bank account.
If you do not make your claim - if you have to - before 22nd of September, then you will not receive your payment until 2014. The claims forms will be available Throughout August 2013
It is possible to claim for previous Winter Fuel Payments if you missed out for any reason for the payments in year 1997-1998; Year 1998-1999; Year 1999-2000. If you missed any payments after that time, then you cannot claim - ie any of the years from 2001 through until 2011. For the present and future years, any claim has to be made by the 30th of March for that current winter. So, for this current year - 2011-2012, claims made after March 2014 will not be allowed. You will need to get a claim form for past winters, you will need a form from the DWP or you can.....
Circumstances that affect the amount of payment.
If you receive Pension Credit, Income-based JSA or Income-related ESA, you will get full payment of £200.00 - even if you live with another person. The same is true if you have another eligible person living in your house. If there is someone else living in your house who is NOT on any of the benefits mentioned, and who is not your partner, then they will be entitled to a shared payment.
If you live with someone who gets any of the benefits in the last paragraph - PC; IB-JSA or IR-ESA, and they are your partner - you will not get anything. THEY will get the payment..
If the person you live with is NOT your partner, but they are on any of the benefits listed above, then you will get £100.00 - being a shared payment.
If you get none of the benefits listed above, but you live in a care home, or recognised independent hospital - and have done so for at least 12 weeks before the qualifying time, then you will get £100.00.
If you get any of the benefits listed above, but live in a care home or independent hospital, then you will not receive Winter Fuel Payment/
Provided you qualify – by age etc – and you live alone or you are the only person where you live who qualifies for this payment, then you will get £200 if you are between 60 and 79, or £300 if you are over the age of 80.
If you qualify and live with someone else aged between 60 and 79 you should get £100 each (£200 per house). OR
£150 each, if you are both over the age of 80. If it is just you that is over 80, then you should get £200 and the other person if between 60 and 79 should get £100.00.
Please check these figures and your entitlement with the DWP. We believe them to be accurate - based upon the information supplied by the DWP.
The payments should reach you between early November and Christmas this year.
If you have changed your address – or any of your circumstances have changed – such as bank details, then notify
Winter Fuel Payment Centre
Southgate House
Cardiff Central
Royal Mail
Have you had any good or bad experiences in these matters that you would like to tell us about. If they are helpful - or critical - we may publish them the assist others.

he he... the love shows strong with these two :)
Gerard's pov
Oh my god! What have I done?! Why did I do that?! I've corrupted my brother! I can believe what I just did. When I entered the kitchen I shut the door and locked it. I sat against it and started crying. What am I doing? I don't cry! Come on Gerard, you never cry. Your turning into a pansy! What the hell is wrong with you? I slapped myself and got up. I wiped my face and cleaned up my eyeliner. Yes I wear eyeliner. I took a few deep breaths and walked to the fridge. I stool tall and searched for the first aid kit on the top of the fridge. Gotcha! I mumbled. I went back over to our silver toaster and checked my face. Lucky it didn't look like I had just been crying.
As I unlocked the door and entered the lounge again I heard mikey talking to himself. "why doesn't gee love me anymore? He used to kiss me all the time. Well never like that. But that's not the point. I love gee. So much I would die for him. He has no idea how much that kiss means to me. If he would let me I would do that all the time. I will never need a girlfriend or anything. I have my gee. If only he would let me in!" I was shocked. What does he mean not love him anymore?! Of course I fucking love him! I love him more than anything! He was crying softly.
I slowly walked over towards him. And sat next o him on the couch. I pulled him into a hug. "of course I love you mikey. You mean the world to me!" I shocked him a bit. He turned and snuggled into my chest. "I uv u chee." He mumbled into me. "huh?" he pulled out, "I said I fucking love you gee!" he screamed. And covered his face as he cried. "I love you too mikey! I do!" I cooed. "not the way I love you." What?! What did he mean by that. Maybe I wasn't the only one who more than brother feelings. "what do you mean mikey? I don't understand?!"
"I said I LOVE you! As in more than a brother. Gee you are my world. Why wont you let me be yours?"
"you are mikey. And you have been for years. I just, I dunno. I just couldn't corrupt you like dad corrupted me." He sat and stared for a moment. Shit! He didn't know about that. "what?! What did dad do to you?"
"nothing mikey nothing. Just let me clean you up." I got out the antiseptic and a few band-aids. "only if you tell me!" he said pulling away. "fine." i told him to hold still. The antiseptic is going to sting. As I dabbed at his wound I began explaining. "when I was your age mikey, dad told me it was time for me to learn about life. The pain side anyway." He wiped his face and winced at the pain. "what did he do to you?" he repeated. "uhh. At first he was beating me. With anything he could. His hands. His belt. His feet or knees. Anything. And a couple of times he actually scolded me in the shower." I stopped. I could feel the tears coming back as I reminisced. I chocked them back, continued to clean mikey's wound, and explain. "when mum found out. She stopped sleeping with him. And he eventually got bored with it. So he decided to get his pleasure out of me." Mikey gasped. "oh no!" I nodded and let a single tear roll down my cheek. "he was raping me mikey. And it hurt. It hurt so bad." I cracked. I burst into tears and collapsed into mikey. He pulled me into a hug and started rocking back and forth. "its okay gee. You can stop there. I understand now. Its ok." I pulled away and cleared my throat, and wiped my tears away. "now do you understand when he took mum to court to get custody of us. When I had to go and testify against him. Why I didn't want you there? I don't want you going through that mikey. I love you way too much to ever let that happen to you." I fell back into him and he resumed rocking back and forth. "I love you gee. I love you so god damn much." I didn't reply. I didn't know what to say. There wasn't really anything I could say.
It was about nine thirty and mikey was yawning like an elephant. "c'mon mikes. Lets go to bed." I got up and when I turned to look at him he was asleep. He still had his glasses on and his eyeliner was beginning to smudge because his head was slowly sliding off the couch. Just as it was about to fall off I reached out and caught him. "poor thing must be knackered." I mumbled. I decided to carry him to bed. So I turned off the TV and set the remote on top. I walked back over to mikey. He had crawled into a ball. He looked so gorgeous. I reached down and slid my hands under his armpits and lifted him off the couch and onto my chest. He automatically wrapped his legs around my waist and squeezed really tight. He draped his arms around me neck and rested his head under my chin.
As I got to the stairs descending down to the basement (our bedroom) and I felt mikey's breath on my bare neck-skin. –lol- and shivered., so much it woke him. "what's wrong? what happened?" I giggled in his innocence. "nothing Hun, you just breathed on my neck and gave me chills." He smirked. "like this?" he breathed cool air on my neck and I nearly dropped him. He knew my neck is my soft spot.

In nine long days since Election 2012 a downpour of news stories has flooded the American psyche. Magically, the stories held their water until the President's reelection was history. Then they washed over the nation with torrential force. Yesterday, the President made news of his own, holding his first press conference in eight months and releasing the residual snarkiness that had built up over that period.
Imagine the odds. Within seventy-two hours of the President's electoral victory, the campaign-weary nation got its bell rung twice. First, we learned about the United States surveillance drone that had been fired upon by Iranian warplanes—on November 1st. Why didn't we hear this news before the election?
