Alyssa confesses her feelings towards Bob to Gerard
I walked in the house and made myself some herbal tea, I really needed to relax and calm down. The ride home was horrible, traffic was unbelievable and my mind kept drifting to the fact that Bob knew I had feelings for him. I never wanted him to know, because then he would think we had a chance. At this very moment I hated myself. I hated myself for having the feelings and even more for once again giving into those feelings, once again giving Bob false hope. But mostly I hated myself for doing this to Gerard. I was on my way up to the bedroom when I walked by a side table, on it was a recent picture of us next to the old one of us, that I had reframed. I picked up the recent picture and stared into his hazel eyes and how happy he was, how happy we both were when it was taken. Even now just looking at him makes my heart soar, so why am I doing this to him?
Tears started to form has I held the picture tightly to my breasts. I never heard door so I jumped when I felt his arms around me and he whispered in my ear, "I missed you too."
I dropped the picture, turned around and my lips crashed on his as hard as they could. I knew right then and there where my heart belonged. Whatever feelings I had for Bob have to be locked away because I can't lose this, not again.
"I've only been gone a couple of weeks, what about when I'm gone for a few months?" he smiled as he brushed the hair from my face.
"It's not that," I said quietly bending my head down in shame.
"So you didn't miss me?" he said teasingly, then kissed me gently on my forehead.
"I missed you with all my heart," I realized now that he's here, just how much I missed him.
"Then what's the matter sweetheart?" he asked all concerned, and he should be.
I looked into those eyes I love so much and started to cry hard, "I'm sooo sorry," I managed to get out.
"Honey what happened?"
"I'm a horrible person," I wailed.
"Baby, you're not making any sense and scaring the fuck out of me."
I looked into those beautiful eyes and knew I was going to take the life out of them. I made a decision, I going to keep my promise and keep no more secrets, save for one. I held my breath then finally spoke, "Bob kissed me, twice."
"I'll kill the motherfucker, did he touch you anywhere? Because I'd really fucking kill him."
I knew with the next thing I was about to say was going to turn his anger from Bob to me, "Gerard I kissed him back."
His face went to complete disbelief, "What?"
Now for the thing that will destroy us, "I think I have feelings for him?"
Gerard put his hand over his mouth and I saw tears starting to form. I knew then and there I broke him. I wanted to take him in my arms and tell him that it was only a crush type thing, that I only loved him. It wasn't a lie, it was the truth I don't think I could ever love anyone but Gerard. I started to put my arms around him, but he pushed me away, and then he walked out the door and probably my life. At this moment I hated myself so much I wanted to die.
Gerard's POV
All I wanted was to see Lys, I fucking missed her so much. We talked every day but nothing beats an actual touch. I was hoping that at this moment we'd be making love in her bed, but I'm headed God knows where? The stab felt so deep when she said that she kissed him back, but it was nothing compared to the twist of the knife when she said she had feelings for him.
I want a drink so fucking bad. I want to beat the shit out of Bryar first, then the drink, maybe the drink first so that will give me the nerve to beat the shit out of him. My mind is so confused right now. I want to ask Lys what the fuck did I do wrong to want her to run into Bryar's arms? Wasn't my love enough? Ray was fucking right again, someone was going to get hurt but I never thought it was going to be me.
I parked my car in front of the liquor store contemplating my next move. I hear a liter bottle of vodka calling my name, just taunting me to come and get it. But shit the last couple of months have been amazing and not just for me, for the other guys in the band too. We're about to take off again. I took another look at the liquor store then made a phone call.
The phone rang several times, "Answer goddamn it!" Finally there was a panting voice on the other line.
"What Gerard!", answered my best friend and roommate. I think I caught him in the middle of something. Something I wish I was doing right now.
"Never mind," I answered. I really needed him right now, but I didn't want to get in the way of him and Christa.
He must have heard the desperation in my voice, "Gee what's the matter?"
"You and Christa finish what you're doing, I'll see you later."
"We're finished, what's going on? Are you at Lys's?"
"No, I'm in front of White Oaks." I heard him say fuck in the background, and then tell Christa he'll be back.
"I'm on my way. Don't do anything 'til I get there, please."
I heard the pleading in his voice. No it was more intense then a pleading he was begging me. Ray has been there for the worst of my drinking, all the times I tried to kill myself and got arrested. He's the one that got me on the program. I have a sponsor I should call, but Ray is the one I turn to. My feeling is as long as I turn to someone who can help me.
I sat in my car waiting, when I heard a knock on my window. I knew it couldn't be Ray I only got off the phone with him a couple of minutes ago. I looked up and there was Matt.
I rolled down my window, "Everything okay, Gee?"
"I'm waiting for Ray," no one in the band knew how bad things were before, especially not Mikey. I think it would have killed my little brother if he knew the thoughts that had been racing through my head.
"If you want to talk, I'm here too," said Matt. I knew he genuinely meant it. If it weren't for Ray, Matt would have been my best friend, for a while there he was. Maybe a difference in opinion wouldn't be a bad thing, so for the first time in a long time, I confided in someone besides Ray.
Matt's POV
I came here to pick up a bottle of wine, to go with the nice homemade dinner that Rachel made for me. I never expected to see Gee here in his car waiting. I thought when I offered to listen Gee was going to blow me off, like he usually did, and say he would just wait for Ray. So I was shocked when he started talking.
"Remember when we were teens and I made the bet with Lys about sleeping with Bryar?"
"Yeah," I said pretending I didn't know a thing. But I knew, I knew it led to a bastard child, that she was trying to get back from there couple she sold them to.
"She forgot about the condoms and got pregnant. That's why she left Matt she went off to have her baby. Over the past nine months she's been working with Bob in trying to get her baby back. It seems though that she's got feelings for Bryar now. Bryar of all fucking people." He slammed his palms against the steering wheel. The little bitch told him everything I was supposed to, but did she tell him everything.
"Did she say anything else?" I was trying to sound concerned but was really on a fishing expedition.
"No, she tried to hug me, but I pushed her away and walked out," I heard the pain in his voice. I wanted to smile at that remark the bitch deserved it for what she put him through after she left. It was really hard on Gee, and that's why I set him up with the cheerleader. I knew Lys was in town I saw her earlier and I goaded Gee into sleeping with her, just as I planned Lys saw it all. It ran her out of town again. The bitch deserved it.
Before she started dating Gee we were what you called friends with benefits. We never had intercourse, Gerard got in the way of that. We messed around a lot when she was a freshman. I took her to my junior prom and that night we were going to finally do it. Near the end of the night I couldn't wait any more I was so ready and so fucking hard. I went find Lys 'cause I left her earlier to talk to some other friends. Last time I saw her she was with Gerard. After a few minutes of looking I found her alright, with Gee's dick up her cunt. I knew they had a thing for each other, fuck the whole school knew. But I was supposed to pop her cherry that night, and there was my best friend fucking the girl I took to the prom. We promised to lose our virginity to each other on that night. Did I love her? No. Lys was hot in school, fuck she's still is. When the freshman class comes in there's one girl every guy wants to fuck, Lys was that girl. Even if they didn't like her they wanted to fuck her, she was just that hot. She was always coy about it, but deep down I think she knew. I had the sexiest girl on my arm when we walked in and then she totally humiliated me. Especially when she walked out of the prom in Gerard's arms and they left with no doubt about what they had finished doing. Yeah until school got out in June all I heard were whispers behind my back.
I got passed that for the most part. Lys and Gee were a couple and everyone knew it and if they didn't he made sure they knew it. So when Bryar asked Lys out, all hell broke loose. Then when he noticed that Pat was hanging out with him he wanted blood. One night after Bryar left Pat's house Gee and I jumped him and beat the shit out of him. Gee warned him to stay away from Lys and Pat. Pat found out and was so pissed at Gerard, they had a huge fight that they never quite recovered from and seven months later Pat was dead. Jumping in front of a bullet meant for Bryar.
After Pat died Gee went on a tear, with drugs, alcohol, getting into fights for no reason, especially where Bryar was concerned. He just needed to look in our direction and that was enough for a beat down. We all knew it was because he and Pat never made up. Gerard was taking his pain by causing others more.
When Lys disappeared without a word, he lost it. We all did what we could to help him keep it together. He hung on Ray's every word that she would be back, that her parents just wanted her to go to a private school. When she came back Gee was just starting to get his life together. I had to stop her from destroying him again. One night we were talking, there was Mikey, Mikey's new friend Frank, Gee, Ray and me. After Frank left the conversation led to Lys somehow and Gee calling her the world's biggest skank for what she did. Ray tried to argue that she didn't have a choice for leaving, but Gee was in one of his moods. The fight ended with me pulling Gerard off Ray and saying he never wanted to see his fucking face around there again, and for three years it was true. For three years Gee and I were the best of friends we did everything together and were there for each other. One day he went missing and four days later he shows up with Toro everything all patched up. We even kicked out the guitarist we had so Ray could resume his position as lead guitarist. Slowly my friendship with Gee changed from his best friend to one of the guys. Toro doesn't deserve to be Gee's best friend I earned that honor, so what the fuck happened?
Now that I know the secrets of two people I hate the most, and once it's known they'll be out of our lives forever.
I listened to Gee's ramblings and wanted to roll my eyes so bad, "Do you love her?"
"You know I do."
"Did she say she loved Bryar?" I asked knowing the answer full well.
"No, just that she had feelings for him," he said as he looked at me.
"Think about it Gee it was bound to happen, I mean they're going through something really emotional right now and it's manifested into something that really isn't there or real."
Narrator's POV
Gerard looked at Matt really thinking about what he said. His mind flashed back to the movie "Speed" and the line Reeves delivered to Bullock about relationships from intense situations. Yeah that was it, she didn't really love him, she was just feeling a connection to him. He was after all the father of her daughter and giving her something he couldn't. Maybe this could all work out he just needed to talk to her. He looked up at his shaggy haired friend, "Thanks Matt you're a good friend."
With that he took off to Alyssa's.
As Matt was coming out of the liquor store Ray was pulling into the parking lot. "Hey have you seen Gee any where?"
"I gave him some advice so he decided he wanted to try to patch things up with Lys."
"Oh. What did you tell him?"
"Just stuff, see you around."
Matt got in his car and left. As Ray drove off he couldn't help but wonder what Matt was up to.

Perfusion - Blood Circulation
This term is often used to mean the circulation of the blood in the skin. It can be checked by seeing how quickly the capillaries in the skin refill. When the skin of the chest is gently depressed, it becomes white as the blood is pressed out of the skin. The length of time it takes for the blood to refill the depressed area of skin is a crude measure of how well the heart and circulatory system are working.

Chinese Comfort Food: Stir-Fried Egg and Tomato
Before the Beijing Olympics end, we want to share this dish, which we found out about from a friend who lived in China for many years. She describes it as Chinese comfort food, something children would learn to make at an early age — sort of the equivalent of tomato soup and a grilled cheese in the US...
The dish is simply scrambled egg with slices of juicy tomato, and it's a traditional Pekinese dish that's extremely common all over Beijing but relatively unknown to Americans. The photo above, which we found on Flickr, shows the dish with kale and garlic scapes added. Our friend Tricia makes hers with scallions and claims it's great over Udon noodles.
Here's how she makes it:
Crack two eggs (the fresher the better) into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and 1/2 tablespoon of oil (peanut is best; vegetable oil will do). Whisk everything together until well-blended and set aside.
Slice a green onion or scallion and divide the white from the green parts. Set aside.
Roughly chop a fresh, ripe tomato.
Heat a wok or a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1/2 tablespoon of oil (if nonstick, more if not), and add the tomatoes. Stir-fry the tomatoes at least until they sizzle and lose some water, 1-2 minutes. Take out the tomatoes, setting aside, and clean the skillet.
Heat the skillet again, add 1 tablespoon oil, then add the eggs. On a gas stove, turn off the heat to slow the cooking process; on an electric stove, remove the pan from the heat. Take a spatula and push the egg away from the side towards the middle (the eggs should not stick to the sides), tilting the pan as you do so.
Add the white scallions. Once the cooking process has almost stopped, put the skillet back over low heat. After the eggs have started to firm up, add the tomatoes and green scallions. Turn up the heat to medium-low. Add 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar and cook, stirring, until the eggs are somewhat firm but still a little runny.
This dish is wonderful in a bowl with noodles, such as fresh-cooked Udon noodles here in the U.S. You can make the dish soupier by adding the leftover juice from unsweetened, canned tomatoes to the skillet after the sugar. If the noodles are cold, you can serve the egg and tomato dish at room temperature.
Thanks, Tricia!

This is one of my favorite old standbys - very quick to put together. I learned to make it by watching my grandmother, and now prepare it all the time. The combination of sweet and savory is very satisfying. It's also great over jasmine or long grain rice. Finish it with a smidge of Sriracha and you're golden.
This looks delicious. I wish I had this recipe when I had a pile of local tomatoes that were close to overripe. I ended up making sauce, but next time...
Mmm my mom used to make this for quick dinners or lunches. I think she may have added a little ketchup as well. We always ate this over rice.
This was one of my favorite dishes growing up as a kid! We ate it over rice also. My mom also made it with Chinese scallions (jotsai), also, which are slightly a little tougher than the scallions you find in the normal grocery store.
I love this with beef or shrimp. Its so good over rice! I always wanted to know how to make this myself, so thank you!!
This is so good, easy and yet so satisfying. WHat is not to like about tomatoes, eggs and green onions? We always used jotsai too- it gave this dish more of a bite. We also make this w/ cubed tofu, served over rice too. A drizzle of sesame oil on this dish is also delicious.
Oh! This brings back great memories of my dad making it for us! :)
This dish is also a staple Cantonese dish. In Cantonese home cooking, its usually a bit soupier...also, sometimes some ginger is thrown in before the tomatoes are added. Yum - just reminded me I hadn't made it in a while....
I love it. This is my all time favorite dish. =P
I like to add a little rice wine and sesame oil into the egg mixture before I cook it and a pinch of sugar and rice wine vinegar to the tomatoes while cooking. And then finish it with a little more sesame oil. This is definitely one of my favorite comfort foods!
Tomato egg is very common, very simple dishes, you want to understand Chinese food culture? Please take a look at here:
My friend, Bei, makes it with a little sugar mixed in the tomato and a good heap of cilantro . Amazing!

By The Huffington Post News Editors
WASHINGTON — Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, predicted Tuesday that things could get ugly if Republicans block a vote this week on one of President Barack Obama's key judicial nominees, Patricia Millett.
The pressure to change Senate rules and strip Republicans of their power to filibuster certain judicial nominees "would be almost insurmountable" if Republicans block Millet's confirmation vote to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Leahy said at an event advocating Millett, currently a Supreme Court appellate attorney.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has already threatened to invoke the so-called nuclear option if Republicans don't let at least one of Obama's D.C. Circuit nominees get a vote. Millett, who will come up for a vote as soon as Thursday, is the first of Obama's three D.C. Circuit nominees to hit the Senate floor. Nina Pillard cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee and is ready for a floor vote, while Robert Wilkins is set for his committee vote on Thursday.

Breaking News from SupportNet
According to the pre-release notes (SupportNet resource number 21036) this was planned to be released by COB on 5th July, however it has been delayed.
It's not great, but better than installing something with bugs, and a good sign that the testing has caught the issues early.Quote:
*** SIMS 2013 Summer Release Date - Please Read
As a result of our end of release testing processes several issues have been identified in the Exams portion of our SIMS 2013 Summer update. Some issues were first brought to our attention through the Beta customer testing process and later via our UAT process. We are committed to delivering a strong, quality product and due to the nature of the issues identified must take the time necessary to investigate further. It is clear that correcting them will cause a delay to the current published release date. When this investigation is complete we will publish a news item to SupportNet confirming the new date and providing further information.
We appreciate that the published Summer release date is not ideal and that a further delay will be difficult for many schools and Local Authorities, especially given the inclusion of new Exams enhancements to SIMS. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience that this delay causes and thank you for your patience while we work through a resolution.
Please feel free to email me if you have any concerns about this.
Jonathan Wood
SIMS Product Manager (Technical and Releases)

pro-zac said: What makeup products are your go-to? Like the ones you always go back to?
I'm testing out a new product almost every single day but I still have my ultimate favourites that I go back to. These are the products that if I need my makeup to look perfect I go to them.
Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Free Primer
My FAVOURITE primer. I recommend and rave about it to anyone that will listen. It smooths out the skin filling in fine lines, scars and pores but most importantly it keeps your makeup ON. That stuff isn't going nowhere!
Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturising Foundation
HG status, that is what this is. All-time favourite foundation, expensive but oh so worth it. It gives great coverage, is super hydrating and very luminous, exactly what I love in my foundations. Only use it if you have very dry skin though or you'll look like a greasy piece of KFC chicken.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer and Maybelline Fit Me Concealer + orange lipstick.
Bobbi Brown does my favourite face products and I love the creamy concealer; it is perfect for concealing dark circles and I mean PERFECT. Maybelline's fit me concealer comes so close though I love it and swear by it just as much, plus it can be used to conceal everything, not just dark circles like Bobbi Brown's (Which is too hydrating for pimples) I always mix my concealer in with a little orange lipstick when I am concealing under the eyes as it corrects darkness.
Benefit High Beam
Illuminators are one of my guilty pleasures and I haven't really ever come across one that I don't like but I still always find myself coming back to this one.
Kit Cosmetics Cheek/Lip Duo.
I've hit pan and would absolutely repurchase. It is creamy, pigmented and just everything you want in a cream blush. Not available outside of Australia and NZ so my second best is Stila Convertible Color.
Maybelline Shine-Free Translucent powder.
Has been my go-to for years on end. Sets makeup well, not cakey and keeps skin matte. A basic item but sometimes basic is best.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer
Perfect bronzer. Yet to find one that I love anywhere near as much. Matte, not orange and perfect for fair skin.
NARS Smudge Proof Pro Prime
I have the oiliest eyelids in the world. EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING creases on me. So far glitter glue has been on the only thing that has worked but I don't like how unevenly it makes eye-shadows apply. NARS eyelid primer works exceptional though. It doesn't keep my eye makeup on all day but it does keep it in place for around 6 hours which is a rare occurrence for me.
Urban Decay Naked Palette
No brainer really. Practically everyone in the beauty world raves about this and you can't blame them. Shades are pigmented, blend well, soft but minimal fall out and everything about the shadows are just perfect.
Has been my favourite eyeliner for over a year. (But Too Faced Three Way Lining Lash Tool comes pretty damn close) Super creamy, doesn't dry out, highly pigmented and fantastic staying power, this stuff doesn't budge.
Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara
Doesn't get enough hype (pun intended) Best mascara. Not clumpy, not dry, not too wet, not goopy just perfect. Gives good length and volume in just one coat but can be built up so you get almost fake looking lashes. Literally makes you look like you have a thousand lashes. Also love Benefit They're real but it can look a little clumpy.
Essence Eyebrow Stylist
Move over Benefit Brow Zings and Urban Decay Brow Box. This stuff = perfect, especially for the price. The shades are matte, pigmented and cool toned plus it is super cheap. Downsides are the packaging and the fact that only one shade is available.
YSL Glossy Stains
Favourite lip product of all time, at one point it was my favourite product, period. These just do everything you want in a lip product. Have great pigmentation, AMAZING staying power and are the perfect amount of glossy without looking like you are drooling.
I hope I helped you and if you need anything else feel free to ask.
If any product you use irritates you discontinue use immediately.

A hoard of Roman coins discovered at Alton Barnes in 2005 is going on permanent display at Wiltshire Heritage Museum on Saturday 25 July to mark the 2009 Festival of British Archaeology.
The new display will consist of some of the 3,854 silver and bronze Roman coins discovered in the hoard, including two rare coins of the emperor Tetricus I (AD 271-4) and the original upright greyware jar in which they were buried. The jar, which when excavated was in 70 pieces, has been painstakingly reconstructed by staff at the Wiltshire Council Conservation Laboratory in Chippenham.
In addition to the rare coins of the emperor Tetricus 1 one a completely new type, and the other only previously known for gold coins - are examples of very short lived Roman emperors, such as Florian (AD 276) and even shorter lived usurpers such as Laelian (AD 269) and Marius (AD 269).
The coins, which are in particularly good condition, were originally reported through the Portable Antiquities Scheme and declared as Treasure by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. The Wiltshire Heritage Museum was able to purchase the hoard with assistance from the MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund, the Headley Trust and other donations, including from customers at the New Inn, Coate. The landowner and tenant generously waived their entitlement to a share of the reward, so reducing the purchase price.
Assistant Curator, Heather Ault says: this Roman coin hoard from Alton Barnes is particularly worthy of display and strengthens the Museums Roman coin collection and material in the Roman gallery enormously. The hoard has been catalogued and can be accessed via the Museums website www.wiltshireheritage.org.uk/collections click here.
The Museum is open 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and noon to 4pm on Sundays. Admission is free to children under 16 and on Sundays.

The San Francisco 49ers went to a cold and frigid Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card round of the playoffs. 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick went without sleeves for the game, a somewhat mind boggling decision considering it was so cold that tailgaters grilled beer to keep it from freezing.
So why did Kaepernick decide not to wear sleeves? Head coach Jim Harbaugh asked him before hand and shared his answer.
"I asked him if he was sure he didn't want to go to sleeves," Harbaugh said, via the San Francisco Chronicle. "He said no, he'd played in colder."
A teammate had a different theory.
"He has those tattoos he needs to show off," tackle Joe Staley said.
Kaepernick explained his decision.
"In Nevada, we didn't have jackets on the sidelines or beanies or heaters," Kaepernick said, while admitting showing off his tattoes were part of it. "I've played in cold-weather games before, and I feel like it's more mental than anything."
It'll probably be warmer in their next match up against the Carolina Panthers.

i've seen the world, lit it up
as my stage now
channeling angels in a new rock age now
hot summer days, rock n roll
the way you play for me at your show
and all the ways i got to know
your pretty face and electric soul
-lana del rey… beautiful song
just a second, we're not broken
just bent
and we can learn to love again
it's in the stars
it's been written on the scars of our hearts
we're not broken
just bent
and we can learn to love again
how fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
i struggle to find any truth in your lies
and now my heart stumbles on things i don't know
my weakness i feel i must finally show
lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
but lend me your heart and i'll just let you fall
lend me your eyes i can change what you see
but your soul you must keep, totally free…
…awake my soul…
…in these bodies we will live,
in these bodies we will die
where you invest your love,
you invest your life…

I'm sure everyone has seen a sale like this. The grocery store will offer a great, bargain price on an item, the kind of item you might like to buy quite a few of at a time. But then, the store's advertisement says, in small print, "Limit 4."
If you've been reading this column for a while and saving all of your weekly coupon inserts, it's likely that you have accumulated multiple coupons for the same item. For this example, assume you've been watching your store's sale fliers and waiting for yogurt cups to go on sale. Finally, there they are, four for $1, a great price! But then, of course, you're disappointed to note that you can only buy four cups of yogurt. Time for the fourth, best-kept couponing "secret":
Secret #4: How to 'Unlimit' Purchase Limits.
At most stores, when a sale item is advertised "limit 4," it does not refer to the number of total items of that type but, rather, the variety of each item. With the yogurt example, above, you would not be limited to four cups of yogurt. You'd be limited to four vanilla, four peach, four blueberry, four banana and so on.
How does this work? When purchase limits are put into place for a sale, most stores set the register to limit four scans at the sale price on the bar code of that product. But each variety of a product has its own unique bar code. So, while the advertisement may lead us to believe that we can buy just four yogurt cups, we can actually buy four of each flavor. If 12-packs of soda are on sale "limit 5," we can buy five 12-packs of each variety of soda.
As long as you don't exceed the purchase limit on each flavor, type, or variety of an item you can essentially take home as many of that item as you want or need that day - and in turn, buy as many as you have coupons for. It's a great way to beat the pricing game, too, because sales with purchase limits typically offer an item at a low price in the store's pricing cycle, too. When the price hits that low, it's the right time to buy as many as you will need or use until the price drops again.

Sounds of Blackness is a Grammy Award-winning vocal and instrumental ensemble from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota who perform music from several genres music including gospel, R&B, soul, and jazz.[1] The group scored several hits on the Billboard R&B chart and Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the 1990s. Cynthia Johnson of Lipps Inc. fame and Grammy winner Ann Nesby are the group's most prominent alumni.
The group was founded in 1969 by Russell Knighton at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the group was called the Macalester College Black Voices. It was in 1971 when current director Gary Hines took leadership over the ensemble, and the group name was officially changed to Sounds of Blackness (SOB). The group had acquired local celebrity status throughout the years though never signed with a record company because of various reasons including the fact that many companies were not comfortable with the group's name. Some companies even suggested to Hines that the group's name be changed to "The Sounds of Music."[citation needed]
The chief lead singer of the group was Ann Nesby until 1995 when Nesby left the group to pursue a solo career. The group continues to perform internationally.
Awards and honors[edit]
The group has received three Grammy Awards, four Stellar Awards, one Emmy nomination, the International Time for Peace Award, the International Dance Music Award, five NAACP Image Award nominations and 1 NAACP Image Award.
Sounds of Blackness's "Time For Love" was nominated for the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for R&B Song of the year.

Colonial England. Under a certain amount of… duress… Jack takes on a job which will not only cause him a great deal of trouble, but also bring to light the answer to a mystery out of his distant past. A lack of money leads Jack to accept a charter to take a British secret agent to mysterious "Tooth Island". When Jack's ship shatters on the mysterious island's cliffs on arrival and the secret agent quickly becomes a meal for a monster in the jungle, Jack is soon left to cope with the situation on his own. " Tooth Island" is ruled by the strange Doctor T, who is cultivating man-eating plants and has his own dastardly plans for the British Empire. And why does he seem to know Jack, who can't remember ever having been on Tooth Island? What are Doctor T's plans? And what does he know about Jack's past?
Jack Keane back on Linux
Award winning Cartoon Adventure "Jack Keane", originally developed by Deck 13, is now available as a digital download for Linux for the first time.May 3, 2013 Jack Keane
Do you plan to port Jack Keane 2 to Linux/Mac OS X?
Do you plan to create graphical launchers for your games? I ask because it will be much easier to use them instead command line switches in terminal. I saw similar launchers in several LGP games
We do not. There are not a lot (any?) important of switches around to justify this kind of effort.
SSF does have a point regarding graphical differences. I don't exactly play adventure games for fancy gfx, but it does say a little about RuneSoft's abilities in that department.
I've created two bug reports ( Bitbucket.org and Bitbucket.org); feel free to contribute with screenshots or whatnot.
The price of Jack Keane was really high, but it was the best adventure game ported to Linux for many years.
I have a box version of Jack Keane for Linux, but I decided to buy a digital version of this game, because I really want to see more games ported to Linux by Runesoft.
Unfortunately I am using Linux and OS X, but I don't understand, why you don't want to sell games for OS X na Desura?
I think that RuneSoft doesn't have OS X distribution rights for Jack Keane on Desura, only for Linux. Maybe they do want to sell it here but cannot (RuneSoft devs would have to comment). Regarding the quality of the port, is it even the same team anymore?! I seriously doubt it. Why make the new guys pay for the old team's sins, if they're willing to fix it up? Digital distribution makes it easy for them to push out patches to us.
Well, Games for Mac OS X on Desura are a huge issue for Runesoft, but the exactly reasons are unknowns for the Mac users.
Jack Keane, Ankh, Ankh 2 for Linux were ported by Gabriele Greco, but he left a company a couple of years ago. Now there is a different team who is porting games to Linux. How many people are working on Linux ports of games in Runesoft?

Studio Ghibli was great, and having a guide along to explain the sign's and comments that were in Japanese was very useful.
Nicole A
If you are a Ghibli fan - this is a MUST do trip!!! The ride on the JR lines are great and you get to see some scenery along the way The museum is just so fantastic....you get lost in another world.
Fee Leng C
A great tour and a great tour guide!
If you are a fan this is a must-see. I would recommend the tour because English signs are not common around the museum.
Chun chong L
This is the best trip ever. The tour guide is super friendly and helpful. She is awesome and did an amazing job in leading us throughout the entire experience. On top of that, she was super helpful in helping us find places to go.
Sebastian S
United Kingdom
Excellent highly rated and the staff were so kind. the only thing that would make it better is if the coach took you straight there rather then following the guide onto a couple of trains and then the bus. I think we were there for just over 2 hours which was just about right prob, I went round myself as I'm an animator n new a lot of the history etc. but definitely recommend if you don't want to try and get your own tickets over there which you have to get from a lawson store and its all in Japanese and supposedly they sell out weeks in advance, so this Viator tour was perfect for me and so simple to book.
Sarah T
United Kingdom
Studio Ghibli was a fantastic tour! The museum itself is covered in so many intricate little details that you may only notice some on the second walk around. There are many extraordinary exhibits, all fun and many hands on. It is a great place for children and adults alike, and if you enjoy drawing you are sure to be inspired. The tour was very well organized and we were taken care of from the word go. Nothing is neglected and our fabulous tour guide made sure every arrangement was taken care of. Our tour guide spoke very good English and knew a lot about the museum, so we could ask questions. We were given different options for walking round the museum, and chose to stay with our guide as she was so helpful. I would recommend this tour to everyone as it is a fascinating and crazy place. Even if you haven't seen any of the films you will enjoy it, but it would make a great deal more sense if you have seen at least some of the films, so I recommend seeing Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro and Laputa at least before you go.
The place is magical, especially if you are Ghibli (pronounced the Japanese way ji-bu-ri) fans. It was impossible to find tickets locally at Lawson during the time we went to Japan because of the Obon festival school holidays but we were lucky we found a blog where Viator was recommended. Unless you know your way around Tokyo, use the metro. There are tickets available at Lawson ticket machines. The most important factor is that entrance tickets are not for sale at the museum and must be purchased in advance. This tour is the only way to get into the museum during high season.
Fraser M

The Studio Ghibli Museum is a unique and wonderful place, and an essential visit for any family or individual visitor to make. We had a really excellent tour guide who was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It was a real highlight of my first visit to Tokyo.
Christine A
United Kingdom
The museum is unlike anything you have ever seen before. The place is designed firmly with children's imagination in mind. The design is to deliberately get you lost so you can discover small bits of whimsy. What ever they paid our guide it wasn't enough, She worked hard throughout to keep us informed and even personally escorted us to our relevant platforms at the end of the day. She was extremely knowledgeable about the museum, and animation. The only minor drawback is that it was two hours at the museum which isn't long enough to take it all in, and in the winter it gets dark while at the museum. A must see if you are in the area.
Going along on a guided tour was really worth it since all the signs inside the museum were in Japanese. The guide had very good English and I can really recommend this tour!
This was the best part of my trip to Tokyo. My eleven year old son was amazed by everything there. Our guide was wonderful and not only did a great job giving us the personal tour at the museum but also gave us lots of info on the way and on the return. She was also helpful at helping us plan additional activities on some of our free days afterwards.
Diana S
This was a very fun tour. I was told from people that live in Japan that it is hard to get in if you live there. I would suggest doing this tour if you like Japanese anime.
Jan Philip C
Thank you so much. This was amazing thanks to our tour guide. He was the best tour guide I've ever had, no joke! Thank you!

Very well managed.

These Dark Christmas poems are examples of Christmas poems about Dark. These are the best examples of Dark Christmas poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Who am I?
Am I defined by what is near in sight?
Am I defined by what I have done,
Or am I defined by what I could become?
Perhaps I'm of no use.
To him, or her, or I, nor you.
Or perhaps I'm too misunderstood to be defined,
And it is something like understanding that comes in time.
And if to the world I'm never shown,
Yet in my own light I've grown and grown,
And so I can know no happiness but my own--
The reason for my smile, to you, will forever be unknown.
I do not pray for the world to know my name.
For it and verse; the letters are the same.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads,
I pray his pain my words to keep.
Should his eyes rain on my page,
Better tears than storms of rage.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads.
I pray his pain my words to keep.
And if to the world you're never shown,
Yet in your own light you've grown and grown,
And so you know no happiness but your own.
Let the reason for your smile, to you, only be known.
Let's escape to space
& Leave the human race
Space-love a new awesomeness
Forget the life & the gloominess
Kiss me, because I care
Even thought the life is unfair
I want to be a space-lover
Love you now, tomorrow & forever
Lest Live in a house made of stars
& drive spaceship instead of cars
We feel the space-love in moon
I'll be yours, you'll be mine so soon
Galaxy, universe, stars & limitless
Screw the world, we found happiness.
An Inmates Dark Christmas....
It was the first Christmas right after my momma passed away.
Any other Christmas I'd be making the best of the situation, but it was a very dark day!
It was a day I wanted to escape from, and nothing could distract my mind.
My body felt so numb, and the pain fed off of me being confined.
An Inmates Dark Christmas...
I laid on my bunk in a funk in that cold dark cell.
I was emotionally drunk, and that Christmas day was pure hell!
I pictured my momma in my minds eye, we were hanging decorations on the Christmas tree.
It was at that moment I wanted to die, for I just knew I would succomb to insanity!
An Inmates Dark Christmas...
That day I even contemplated suicide, for the pain and loneliness was just too much.
A bonified emotional homicide, for my momma I would never see or touch!
That Christmas I was a man with an empty shell, and a troubled soul.
A day of pure hell, and alone in that cell became my dark little hole.
An Inmates Dark Christmas...
I thought that day would never end, but then Christmas was gone.
No family or friend, for I was still terribly alone!
Christmas is still the hardest day of the year, but I manage to get by.
And although I still shed a tear, at least I no longer wanna die!
By Jimmy Matthew Anderson for Constance La Frances contest "Your Saddest Christmas
His little dark street
Is at home in the silky cobweb;
His little dark street
Is only loud in the missionaries' prayers,
It elicits a gaze in very few people,
It is but an uninvited guest to life.
The stationery boy hands out his beautiful fliers,
Like a messenger of his little dark street.
In his big clear eyes a tear is born,
Not as an accusation,
But as wonderful love,
His heart is young and full of hopes
That someday his big silent tear
Shall drop onto someone's palm.
A new day is born in his wonderful spirit,
Perhaps somewhat cold and strange,
But a new day, still.
Oh powerful destiny, listen to your unloved son,
Wake up the sleeping star;
Wake up the sleeping sun;
Wake up the sleeping hearts of men,
So that the new day may be a friend to your unloved son.
In the inaudible shadows, he has his faithful listeners,
In death he has a faithful visitor,
His young beautiful eyes are more familiar with death than life.
When so many happy children gather around the city's Christmas tree,
His dear young heart is loudly beating into the deaf nights,
Like a silver bell,
So that his small, dark home would be alight with a gaze.
When the wonderful northern wind brings
Happy children's voices from afar,
Like a modest Christmas gift,
The stationery boy is building his little kingdom of happiness
In his vivid imagination,
His days and nights may be cold and dark,
But his imagination is bright and completely wonderful,
It shines in the darkness like an angel.
His silver bell is ringing beyond the heavenly dome.
If you want to show a real angel to your kid,
Hurry towards that little dark street,
And you might be lucky enough to see the stationery boy
Before he gets his silver wings.
©Walter William Safar
The little boy sits by the christmas tree
Full of light and color
Trying to figure out what all the colors are
He puts his little hands on the ornaments
Trying to see what they are
Feeling them
He steps back and falls over a present
He feels around the box trying to open it
Only seeing alittle
Mean while on the phone..
his mom is talking to the doctor
"do you think he will be able to see by christmas?" she says
The doctor replies "theres no guarentees, he is 67 % blind, when we did the test with him, he described the color blue as a dark black, and a yellow as a light gray, your son only sees in black and white and im not sure if we can fix that. but we will do our best"
A breathe escapes from her lips as she turns and looks at her son
The doctor explains "his surgery is set for Dec. 7th. be here around 8 am and we will see what we can do, im trully sorry"
He hangs up.
Back in the living room
The boy stands up and walks over to his mom
"mom, have you seen the christmas lights?" he says
She replies "yes sweety i have."
He hugs her leg and says "are they black and white?"
She answers "no sweety" she points to a light bulb on the tree
"this one is blue" she smiles
He grabs the light bulb and repeats "this one is blue" and giggles
She lays him down in his bed as he quickly falls asleep
She sits down on the chair and thinks
"to me. because my son cannot see the beautiful lights and feel the joys of christmas, everything is gray for me. nothing will fill my empty heart"
There are no smiles, when everything is gray, when you cant see the colors of a bright day
On the lonely street
I hear nothing
But the charolers on Christmas eve
The cheerful sound fill up
The dark and quiet night
With pleasure and happiness
A Wise, Dark Angel
( A Fairy Princess )
Who has often told me –
who many times showed me –
my perceived value, my worth.
Who has made me see
who I am, where I'd be
in the world of thee.
Oh! if only you could be free
from all that keeps you - distant – from me.
December 8th 2007
My queen, dip your quill in blood and write me a Sonnet on this Christmas night
Santuary where there're wilted rose buds; sit tell me a story of the demonic acolyte
Paint me a poetic picture in my mind's eye, so the images make love to my brain
Obscure words I begin to identify encompass me like a raging hurricane!
Entice me with your verse and take my mind away this Christmas night.
Spiritual hell in this cell, is my curse and only you can feed my ravenous appetite
Descendant of Mr. Poe, you emerge from the shadow of death.
Abstract words setting my being aglow; taking my very breath!
Recite, "The Raven" to quick start my heart, to fill up the pages of my writing pad.
Keys open the door to my haven, in which lies Edgar Allen Poe, my granddad!
Xrays show a heart as black as coal
Macabre of poetic art corrupting my very soul!
Acrostic ode to Ms Poe on this eerie Christmas Night!
Santa can't stomach her dark mode, for under the mistletoe lies the demonic acolyte!!
The Kiss of Death
He was not a smart thief, nevertheless good at opening locks,
but often leaving finger prints behind, he was the one who
ended up in prison…. And when he was told that in an empty
villa where the owners had gone to Spain to avoid the cold,
he decided to go it alone. Breaking in, easy and the painting
"The Kiss" by Munch, hung there on the wall. It got very cold
and snowy, but he could not lit a fire, in case neighbours noticed
and pay a visit; there was no food in the house…. Three day later,
driven by hunger and cold, he tucked the painting under his
arm and went to his car which was snowed in and he didn´t
have a spade so he used the painting to clear the car. The picture
broke in half but still he thought it was valuable.
Finally in the car he tried to start, but the battery was flat, tired
from cold and hunger he fell in the longest sleep; when found
there was a broken, fake Munch painting by his side.

Choosing Between A 2 Button Or 3 Button Custom Suit
During one of your first sessions with your custom tailor you will begin the process of making the decisions that will ultimately result in a fabulous custom suit. Those decisions will include cut, fit, fabric, and color. During the process you will be asked to examine your own personal style preferences, your body type and the dress code of the event that you will be attending. Designing the perfect custom suit takes all of those factors into consideration and then produces the perfect option for every individual. During your time with your custom tailor, you will likely spend a portion of your time talking about the button count that you will want for your custom suit. One of the decisions that you will be asked to make will include whether or not that you want your custom blazer to have a two button or three button style.
How Do You Choose Between the Two?
The choice is really up to when it comes to choosing between two button and three button suits. There are not that many major differences when it comes to the two button blazer and the three button blazer, so the decision is really up to you when it comes to the most effective choice. Start by taking into account your own personal style preferences as well as your comfort level and body type as you begin making your decisions during the design process. With regards to the level of appropriateness in the design element of a two button suit or a three button suit there is not a lot of difference, so there again the choice is dictated by your own preferences. Both styles would be appropriate in various settings. The next element to consider is your own comfort level. Try both styles on and then work with your custom tailor in order to access the pros and cons of each style before you make a determination with regards to which style that you choose. Finally, consider your body type in your style decisions. If you have a fuller frame, then you may want to opt for a two button blazer as they tend to convey a slimmer appearance. If you have a smaller frame, then you should choose a three button blazer which will add volume to your frame.
The design process is essentially a very simple one. As a client, you will work with a custom tailor in order to make the best decisions possible for your style preferences and body type. Your options are endless as you begin your journey. Your custom tailor will help you build a versatile wardrobe that will help provide you with options that will be suitable for every social situation. In the end, whether or not you choose a two button or three button blazer is up to you. It will be just one of the decisions along the way that will help create your overall style persona.

Alaska Department of Fish and Game
Hunting, Trapping & Shooting
Alaska offers a variety of hunting opportunities, many of them world class. The options include taking kids grouse or hare hunting along back roads in the Interior, filling the freezer with muskox, or conducting a once-in-a-lifetime brown bear or mountain goat hunt in the Southeast rainforest or along the Southcentral coast. Some species, such as caribou and moose, are widely distributed across much of the state. However, depending on the month, animals may be scarce even where good habitat exists, but abundant elsewhere. Many big game species in Alaska make long migrations between their seasonal ranges. The keys to hunting successfully are careful planning and thorough preparation.

Mobile Service ProviderDownload Solution Brief
Virtual Gi-LAN Solution
A consequence of the wide penetration of smartphones; and huge increases in use of mobile apps, OTT video, is that the amount of traffic on the mobile network operator's packet core elements has increased dramatically, while revenue growth has not kept pace with it. Thus mobile operators need to find innovative ways to reduce churn and monetize the growing traffic,. Operators understand the potential of NFV and SDN and so it is quite natural that they are first interested in virtualizing the functions used to service the APN corresponding to the Internet in the Gi-LAN. The functionality deployed on this network typically includes NAT, firewall, content filtering, video and TCP optimizers, caches and more. Deploying a virtual network solution on the Gi/SGi interface (3GPP defined interface connecting the GGSN/PDN-GWY to PDNs like the Internet, IMS etc.), enables mobile operators with the flexibility of introducing new services, while providing a scalable solution to cope with the increasing traffic. Hence virtualization of the Gi-LAN network is a very practical first step for mobile operators in their journey of network virtualization. When deployed on the Gi/SGi-LAN interface the ConteXtream solution helps virtualize the functions deployed on the Gi interface while leveraging the existing mobile packet core infrastructure. ConteXtream solution can help virtualize the network associated with one or more of the APNs on the Gi-LAN.
Traditional mobile deployments of Gi-LAN services simply chain all the functions/services in a serial manner as shown below. This serial method of chaining has several problems. It requires a lot of effort and time to insert new functions or upgrading existing ones. This significantly slows down the agility with which mobile operators can introduce new services. A failure of a single function may interrupt the overall service for all subscribers. Each function has to process and forward all the traffic flows, which increases the complexity, processing, latency and also overall provisioning costs.
Traditional Approach to Gi-LAN
The ConteXtream Gi-LAN solution is a proven offering that is already in production in several Tier-1 mobile operator networks, delivering services to tens of millions of LTE/HSPA+ smartphone users. The solution brings all the benefits of virtualization to the mobile network:
- Shared and lower cost hardware – The solution enables all functions running on COTS hardware. This enables functions to share compute resources. Further these hardware resources are much lower cost compared to proprietary systems.
- No overprovisioning of the functions required because traffic from only those subscribers that are utilizing the service passes through that function.
- Deploying network functions in software in the service provider cloud helps deliver service functions across geographical boundaries thus greatly improving resource utilization.
- Service agility is greatly enhanced with the ConteXtream SDN solution, as it enables operators to test and roll out new services, and introduce them in production networks without downtime or network upgrade cycles.
ConteXtream SDN-based solution for Gi-LAN
The ContexNet Carrier SDN solution along with offerings from 3rd parties providing analytics, content filtering and video optimization is completely COTS based. This solution provides line-rate performance while being subscriber and session aware. This makes the solution highly scalable in a virtualized/cloud environment and provides per flow specific steering between instances of (virtual and/or physical) network functions as shown above.
Virtual SBC Solution
Service Providers have migrated away from PSTN interconnects to voice peering for telephony Network-Network Interconnection (NNI). Session Border Controllers (SBCs) serve as the network demarcation points and as such provide VoIP security and interworking functions. Off-net calls representing a significant share of all IMS calls, are traversing Session Border Controllers.
Legacy SBC Federation
ConteXtream's SBC Federation Solution enables voice interconnections based on an SBC resource pool, load balancing traffic on session basis across virtual or physical SBCs. This solution enables resource efficiency by utilizing the entire pool of SBC resources in all locations for off-net calls interconnectivity. Also, it enables operations efficiency by simplifying configuration when growing SBC resources.

IE9 - transparent images, border shown anyway.
I am a javascript developer.
I have this weird problem, with IE of course. Only this time ONLY IE9 bugs.
I have made a picture slidehow: www.usefulurl.com/i13b
Press a thumb picture to see it. Slide around using the arrow keys.
When i close it(ESC) and enter a new one,
!! the pictures are transparent, which they should not be, though the border is still shown?? !!
This weird, weird problem, which I've tried to fix in many ways, only occurs in IE9.
how put fixed-width fields in list element?
Is there a way to make sections of text in a list element have a fixed width so that they line up with the same sections in other list elements?

We say: ' Shallot and mushroom pasta'
What to do:
Peel and dice the shallots into a medium size dice.
Place a large pan of salted water on the stove for the pasta and bring to the boil.
Sauté the shallots in the olive oil and, when almost cooked through, add the wild mushrooms. Allow to cook for 1 minute and then season with salt and pepper. Add the Madeira and allow it to reduce. To this mushroom mix, now add the chopped tarragon and butter. This should form a sauce that will coat the pasta.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add directly to the pan with the shallots and mushrooms.
Serve in bowls and grate over some fresh parmesan.
