Lectern Writing Group: Home for our Meteors- Part 2 chapter 3
Stephen pulls on his jeans, and looks over at Catherine sleeping, he knows she can't have got more then a few hours kip over the last couple of nights combined, he wants to wake her and talk about what she has planned for them. He knows she and Daniel have talked about it. That must have been what they'd been talking about last night, as he slept. He feels a small pang of jealousy at the thought of their closeness, it's an unusual feeling but not unique for him, every time it hits him it's been caused by the same thing, Letting go of that green eyed sensation like rat lets go of it's own turd, he looked around the caravan, it had all the features of his old home, but this wasn't home, it never could be. Daniel and Catherine would play make believe for a while and try to play happy families, but Stephen knew what home smelt like, and he knew what it tasted like. Most of all he knew what it felt like and it wasn't this. He finished getting dressed and sat on the edge of the bed.
He looked across the room towards what was pretending to be his father's bed, like Joseph's this bed was unmade, and there were springs bursting out the sides. A couple of blankets were folded and set on top of a single pillow, which was placed in the middle of the bed, a plastic Asda shopping bag with some sheets sat on to the left of the pile, ripped and torn, Stephen didn't want to think about what those sheets might have seen. The kitchenette was almost identical to the one from his home, a silver plated gas stove, four hot points and a grill, next to them a small chopping and serving area, this one maybe a little smaller then the one he'd grown used to. Underneath, cutlery draws and a cupboard for plates, bowls, and coffee mugs. Along the top fastened to the ceiling three cupboards for food, food that he and his friends didn't have any of yet, but the cupboards were there for when they needed. He figured that once Daniel had driven the car over they could fill at least one cupboard with the booze sitting in the car trunk. Opposite the kitchenette was the box room bathroom, a toilet, a sink and a shower, all within three feet of each other. One day he knew he'd find himself brushing his teeth with Stephen taking a dump to one side and Catherine showering on the other, both of them screaming too hot or too cold.
He took a cig from his pocket, and lit it, still wanting to talk to Catherine, he decided he best leave before he gave into temptation, she'd only be annoyed by his needs, and that would just make him more concerned about the closeness between his lover and his friend. He slid his trainers on and headed outside, the cold air pinched his skin as he blew hot smoke into it. He looked across to the driveway, and saw the car still parked, now with Daniel sitting behind the wheel. Stephen thought, there's no way I want to deal with him right now, and decided to walk up to the farm and take a better look around. He felt like having a drink, but figured the skunk in his pocket would be enough to make a couple of spliffs that he could walk around with as he enjoyed the countryside.
Although he'd been raised on a caravan site, which was a good ten minutes drive from any housing, and only moments away from a forest and a reservoir Stephen had never really cared for green scenes, and the scent of mother nature. He couldn't remember if he'd ever been on a farm before, and as he walked up to the main buildings he couldn't pretend he was all that impressed with what he could see. Five run down buildings, all bar one covered in filth, filth in general all over the place, and then all around him the same muddy fields he'd seen a thousand times before, only in different places. Catherine seemed to find the whole thing exciting, at least a little bit, Stephen not at all, he wasn't a city girl like she was, and he wasn't a suburban boy like Daniel. He was far from being a country kid; rather he was from nowhere really. From a caravan site obviously, that's certainly what he would have said if asked, a caravan site child. Raised by holidaymakers, schooled in the science of life by tourists and the occasional DSS claimer. He heard the cry of something having its neck cut quickly, he sat down on a mossy stone, and started to roll.
The cry was accompanied by more, one after another Stephen listened to each one, and became startled at their similarities, and at the regular rhythm they were forced out, each one short sharp and hitting the high notes. Over and over again, single squeals in a parade so perfectly timed Stephen could have tapped his feet to the beat. He took a few long drags and flicked the ash down to the possible dance floor. Reasoning that cries like these, could only be being made by a pig, sheep or cow. As Mark hadn't mentioned poultry. Stephen wished he'd listened closely as the young farmer had explained what work he'd like them to start the following morning, the assumption that it was packing work could be a false one as he didn't see anywhere this could take place, truth be told Stephen couldn't work out where anything was taking place. There was no sign of the men and women who had left the caravans this morning, the only sound of labour was the slaughter which seemed to be going on all around him, as if it were being played from stadium speakers that had been discreetly placed all around Mark and Mandy's property.
By the time he'd finished his spliff most of him wanted to head for the car and get something to drink instead he headed to the front door of the farmhouse. Whilst he was out and about he could at least find out more, of what was to be expected of him and his friends. He rattled twice on the brass lion doorknocker, and waited for a few seconds before giving the door a gentle push, letting it come ajar.
"Hello, Mark? Erm Mandy, Hello, anyone here?" He spoke as clearly as he could, but he knew his tongue was becoming thick and heavy so could be muffling any noise he might make. Listening closely between the animal death beat, and heard a quiet sobbing, he stepped inside figuring that if someone was in trouble he could save the day, maybe Mark would give him an early to the job bonus. The hallway was a mish mash of decorative styles, ranging from Edwardian oak beams, and Art Deco vases and mirrors that came from a funfair. Wellington boots, wooden clogs, and casual trainers all caked in thick mud littered the red tiled floor, Stephen had never felt more like an intruder, not since he finger fucked a thirteen year old girl the summer before last. He called out for a welcome once more, and this time was given a loud belch by way of a reply, he turned left into what was supposed to be a living room, but was now more of shelter for shit you'd find in the alleys off Lower Parliament street, broken beer bottles and empty bottles of chicken wings mingled freely with hundreds and thousands of yellow paperbacks. The four walls had been painted four different colours, black, white, sky blue, and blood red. Each wall was covered in pages from late eighties issues of top shelf magazines. Pink nipples, and blond weaves peered down at him as he stepped over a bag of battered fish that lay open but uneaten near the doorway.
"Hello, Mandy?" he realised that all the light in the room was being supplied by a fluorescent light that dangled on it's hinges in front of the window sill, and it had been placed directly so it's main focus became the opposite end of the room where a battered and scarlet leather sofa sat, with about a dozen blankets piled on top of Mandy who was reading a book on a lap, drinking from the same coffee cup and smoking from a green pipe. Mandy appeared to be responding to what she was reading, with moans and sighs, to turn the page she jerked her left knee up, sometimes it turned just one page, but more often then not it turned four or five.
"Hi Mandy, I just heard some moaning, I thought, well sorry I just wanted to make sure you were okay." He spoke slowly not sure if she was listening or not.
"And now you're satisfied I'm okay, now what do you need to do." She did not lift her head up, but her eyes appeared to be closing, so he figured she'd quit reading until he left her in peace.
"I was wondering where Mark was, I need to speak to him."
"Mark's out working," she lifted her head, and looked at him, she gave him the once over, "You're very beautiful, stoned, drunk, high on god knows what, but very beautiful. Not as beautiful as my babies would have been, but beautiful anyway." She drank from her cup, finishing whatever was in it off, and then tossing the "I love" mug onto the floor.
"Thank you," Richard saw that he was now casting a shadow over her, and stepped to one side so he could see her in the light, when he did she tucked her head back down and turned the page of her book once more. He stepped back and her head raised.
"You already knew you were beautiful, I bet you've always known, lucky boy," She smiled, and with that smile she seemed to lose fifteen years. He thought that she could be my age; she could be just like me. "Does your mother know you're here darling?"
He blinked a couple of times, the skunk was hitting home, he could feel his body getting as heavy as his tongue and his eyes were watering. "Probably not." He finally replied.
"What's that love? Speak up some will you, you voice is awfully slurry, have you been drinking," she smiled and reached back down to the floor to fetch her cup. "No booze hits this baby, until the clock turns half past nine, oh would you look at this it's nearly mid day, I guess we can have ourselves a little drink."
"No, my mother doesn't know I'm here. Could I have something to drink please, my throat is dry. My mums dead." As he was speaking she poured herself a drink from a bottle Stephen didn't see appear, once she'd filled it to the brim, she offered to him.
"I know your mums dead silly boy, I can saw it the first time I saw you, you're like a skeleton, nobody has ever fed you right." He took a few steps closer and then staggered to the floor by her feet, she shook the bottle in his direction and he took it.
"What is this?"
"Homemade wine,"
"How did you know my mother had died?"
"Like I said you haven't been fed, it's pretty clear. Don't worry dear, lots of people don't have mothers these days, it's all the rage. I heard a lady in the supermarket telling her friend that the next child she had was going to be a motherless son of a fuck, and the friend replied like that guy in the magazines. So you see Stephen you're not alone." She gazed down at him, and he averted his eyes, the more he looked at her the more he wanted her to hold him. The more he wanted to take off her pants and slide himself inside the vagina he could make wet with the slightest of smiles.
He took a drink, and winced, "This is fucking bad," he took another swig, "You made this? Fuck why?"
"Drink it slow sunshine, it'll taste a little worse but that won't make you heave all over my floor," she took a sip for herself, and ran her eyes across the room "Wouldn't want to make worse then it is."
"No, that'd be a tragedy."
"Hush now, don't call things a lie." A firmness appeared in her voice, a brusque hectoring tone that was clearly an affectation for the moment however genuine, "Nothing here is a tragedy, tragedies are what happens, not what remains. Losing my babies that was a tragedy. You losing your mother. That was a fucking tragedy. You being sick on top of my mess, that's just a pain in the bloody arse."
They sat in silence for a few moments, Stephen wasn't sure if Mandy could remember what she'd just said, or even if she still knew he was in the room. Her head slowly tucked itself back down, and she closed her eyes. Her hand lowered the mug to her side and her grip released, spilling the contents across her sofa and herself. Her other arm dropped suddenly onto the blankets and the smoking pip feel loose. Within seconds of defining tragedy Mandy was asleep, and Stephen watched her. No tears in his eyes anymore, no nothing, he could feel pity making a run for the door, it was followed by tenderness compassion and anger. Others were soon behind, until all he was left with was the taste of homemade wine in his mouth, a blank look on his face and the desire to undress the sleeping woman in front of him.
For the first time he looked at her without wondering what she was about, he saw her auburn her unwashed but brushed straight, with a centre parting, so now she was sitting head down two waves of it fell either side of her nose and mouth, covering her cheeks and only if he looked real close could he see her closed eyes. Her face was without wrinkles or prunish skin; it was battered with fresh air and late nights, but full of color and softness. Her hair blonde over her white, red, and brown shaded skin, her eyes black with mascara the only make up she wore. Her lips were slim and slightly curled at the end, he liked that in Catherine and he liked it even more now in Mandy. Perhaps with age and the right troubles Catherine's would excite him as much, he expected so. At present his girlfriends lips were, along with her feet the only part of her that lacked sorrow, this had always turned him on, but now he saw that if Catherine's lips caught up with the misery of the rest of her face, the package would be complete.
His eyes fell from her face, and onto her body, she was wearing a battered pink jumper, stained and with multiple holes, which could be peered through easily so you could see her pale pink skin. He saw for the first time she was not wearing a bra, and this disappointed him some, he hoped it was not something she normally went without as he hoped to impress her with his ability to remove it. The shape of her body was hard to discern, Stephen could tell she was slender but there was plenty of flesh on her, again this was like Catherine. His mind began to spin at the similarities between his teenage girlfriend and the strange wife of his new employer, you'd never mistake them for one another with a passing glance, but on closer inspection they could be mother and daughter, easily. Not only that, but he was drawn to them both in the same way, he'd listen and become intoxicated by Catherine's after fuck diatribes, any of her diatribes, any of her sadly whispered stories, the way she retold dreams left him in he thrall. The way she explained ideas or future plans, well it just made him hard and dizzy in equal measure. Now within a few minutes of Mandy's company, listening to her voice and what it said, he was feeling the same things, the same desperate urge to fight through his stoned and drunken haze, so he could wake her and offer her his body. He imagined he could fuck her to heaven or wherever, but more importantly he thought of the fun she could have if he just lay naked on this filthy floor and let her do whatever she wanted with him. She was a woman who needed to seize control of something, maybe he could be that something.
He saw that her left leg was poking out from behind the blankets, just the knee and below. She was wearing brown pyjama bottoms, and pink thermal socks, Stephen reached out and placed his hand around her ankle, gently at first, slowly tightening his grip. Then with his free arm he pushed the blankets away and reached for the other leg, he took an identical hold of it, and began to pull Mandy down. Her ass had nearly reached the floor by the time she woke up, and when she did, she merely blinked and smiled.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asks more amused then anything else.
"I wanted to…" he tries to look at her, like he's looked at everyone else, as if they're the only ones in the room, he wants to make her feel special, so she'll do as he asks.
"Let go of me," she's calm, quiet and almost smiling, she looks him in the eye and says "Let go of me, and kiss me."
He releases his grip, and offers his grin, showing off his dimples, but she does not seem impressed, "Kiss you where?"
She grabs his head suddenly holding with both hands, fingers wrapped around his hair. She pulls him to her, and they kiss, or rather she kisses him, because know matter how charming he has been in the past, no matter how many boys and girls have offered themselves to him. No matter what he's done before, right now, his body is tight. His shoulders are clenched and his legs are stiff, he doesn't know what to do now, and all of a sudden he's terrified of this woman. As she moves her lips around his, as she slides her tongue into his mouth, and then bites a little on his bottom lip. He is frozen. She is acting pre-recorded, carrying out aggressive acts read in magazines, she takes his hand and shoves in towards her groin. He leaves it there until she begins to slide down her pyjama bottoms. He places his palm over her, his fingers brushing along the hairs that begin to fold in on themselves, until his hand reaches skin, and he feels for the slit.
Whilst his hand learns to move free of concern the rest of him is growing tighter, unable to focus on anything other then the blurry face pressed against his. Stephen finds himself being pushed back and her body rising above him. Mandy releases the kiss, and guides him slowly to the floor. Three fingertips just inside her finding their way, she takes the wrist that's joined to the hand that's owns those fingers, she holds the wrist with as much strength as she can and with a quick thrust of the pelvis takes the fingers in with a force that bends the remaining finger and thumb back when they hit the sides. Until they creep their way inside her. He cries out a little, she lets out a yelp of pain. Then they don't move. Muscles shaking uncomfortably, his from her weight, her with the slight pain of someone whose still healing scars are being assaulted.
Mandy's eyes remain focused on Stephen's, his zigzag back and forth from her face to her cunt, where his hand appears to have been severed. Blood start to trickle out, tiny drops sliding along the veins on his arm, one falls of the side and glides to the floor, two more join and make their way quickly to his elbow joint. He watches them in fear; bile in his throat is gagged down. She moves her torso towards him, his spare arm taking all the weight. She leans in and kisses him, softly, first on the cheeks, then on the lips and then pulls herself backwards. Takes grip of his hand and pulls him out of her, his hand painted in the stripes of her blood and better things. Once separated she pushes herself back onto the sofa, legs spread apart blood in her pubic hair. She looked down, and the smile disappears slowly.
Stephen watches for a second, then turns to his side and throws up on the floor. Thick white chunks at first, then just brown liquid that slowly sinks into the dusty carpet. The only sound that can be heard is the upstairs boiler being kicked into motion by an automatic timer. Mandy reaches for one of her blankets, it's purple with black trimming, and as she takes it to her crotch and holds it there, the purple goes dark as it soaks up some blood. She wipes herself clean then looks over at Stephen whose body is twitching, and his face contorting as he stares down at the contents of his stomach dissolve.
Mandy feels nothing but compassion for the boy, she wants to hold him close but knows that would be too much for him. She finishes wiping and fold the blanket neatly, and places by her feet before she pulls up her pyjama bottoms. A few specks of blood have stained the insides but nothing noticeable to someone passing by. She sits back down on the sofa and picks up her book, which had fallen on the floor. As she begins to read she listens as Stephen climb to his feet, and slowly walk out the living room. His steps over the Wellington boots and trainers are deafening, the front door opens and then slams shut, and as it rattles from the force she feels herself become warm, filled with delight and desire for more life. To have more life, to give more life. To simply be part of life once more she thinks would be everything.

My Fridge & Stove
Well, I have to admit this was not quite part of the plan for this blog but I opened my email this morning to two requests as to the appliances I use in my kitchen and another one asking what major appliances I recommended. So this entry is cooking related to address these questions. And before you ask, yes my kitchen is pink! The appliances are all white but not matching brands because I choose appliances based on performance not brand. My kitchen accents are stainless steel and chrome but it has a very country feel. The cabinets are dark walnut something I would like to change perhaps by painting but after living through that once, the idea is just floating right now. The kitchen flooring is scheduled to be replaced just after our holidays in January. I'm sure my husband chose this time since I will be a little more mellow because I do not do change well, especially in my kitchen!
My stove is a Jenn-Air Electric Downdraft Slide-In Range model JES9860AC purchased in 2005. Previous to that I had an Admiral black-glass front range, non-self clean purchased in 1989 that was a real workhorse. The Jenn-Air has a lot of bells and whistles like convenience settings, three oven racks, self-cleaning and downdraft system. I bought two conventional coil cartridges (sold separately) and grill cartridge (sold separately) so basically we bought the shell of a stove then customized. I can mix and match as needed. The grill cartridge is shown in the picture along with a custom made cutting board thanks to one of my kids. I like the look of the stove with the grill cartridge in but during canning season I really need those four burners! If you look closely you will see that one burner is raised by almost an inch. This is a special canning/big pot element originally bought for canning but because I use larger pots on a regular basis I decided to just leave it on the cartridge. The only thing I don't like is there is no storage drawer due to the downdraft system. What I really like is all parts and I mean all parts are easily available for replacement which means if I wanted to go stainless steel it would mean only buying the outer compartments and switching. I think that is a pretty nice option. While this stove might look fancy, it was bought specifically as a workhorse because that is what I demand of kitchen appliances. Performance is always the primary goal!
My fridge is a Whirpool ED2FHGXS Energy Star® rated, white on white side-by-side purchased 2006 about six weeks ago. This refrigerator was a forced purchase since our old side-by-side decided to spew out cold air and not from the door seals. It was a demanding purchase because with the design of my kitchen, the refrigerator would only fit one spot AND my husband was adament he wanted side-by-side with ice in the door. I found one fridge at IKEA on sale that met our requirements but was stainless steel not white. Armed with that information I went online and found two models up from that one but in white. I called our local furniture and appliance dealer, gave them the model and told them to order it so this fridge was bought sight unseen. So far it is performing very nicely!
As far as recommending appliances goes, I really can't for the reason that what works for me might not be a good solution for you. I can recommend small appliances but not major ones. I think one of the most important things we look for in any major appliance is performance followed by energy efficiency. I think my current preference as far as design goes is white on white, sleek with good lines and easy to clean.
So now you've had a glimpse into my kitchen. Perhaps I will add more pictures in the future when I'm not adding pictures of food.
Welcome to our kitchen that truly is the heart of our home! One of life's greatest pleasures is enjoying good food with family and friends. Here you will find recipes, tips for frugal cooking, how-tos for food preservation especially canning and anything else food related. Tea is brewing and warm cookies are fresh from the oven.

My Fridge & Stove
2 food lovers commented:
I'd like to 'second' your recommendation for your JennAir stove. I have a JennAir cooktop with the cartridges (grill and ceramic elements) and the downdraft and we estimate it was put in around 1985 and it's still going strong. We call the downdraft the 'supercooler' since it can cool down childrens food very quickly if placed on top. I've also become quite accustomed to using only the 2 elements as long as I have my steamer handy. Thanks for the great blog!! Fellow Cdn in Zone5A.
Hi Fellow Canadian and thank-you for commenting on my blog! I'm not so sure I'm recommending a Jenn-Air stove but more like this is the stove I have and it functions well for us. There are a lot of times that 4 burners are not enough so really need to be able to have that function. I like that I can mix and match too so the stove is tailored to my needs each and everytime I use it. I've never used the downdraft for the purpose you described but it does sound interesting. I will keep that tip in mind.

Love Scene Discussion Day 5 - Part 2 Recap
Day 5 - Part 2 Recap: Love scenes are never just rustling sheets and heavy breathing. They include two people revealing more about themselves through their thoughts, action, and even dialogue.
The assignment for part 2 was to give an example of a love scene with dialogue.
Here is mine: This is actually after it has started.
Jake sat up, grabbed Charley's bare shoulders, and flipped their positions. Breathing rapidly, he spoke. "You're going to end it too soon," he whispered in a husky voice.
Charley giggled. "I want it fast."
His eyes went wide. "Not that fast, Shugar."
Shugar? "Mmm." She liked the sound of that. Wow! The tug of her nipple between his teeth sent shivers and heat through her. When he suckled one breast and squeezed the other, she arched up wanting more, raked her fingers into his short chestnut hair, and moaned.
Grabbing his head, she tugged him to her face so she could kiss him, thoroughly. As their tongues danced, Charley wrapped her legs around Jake in a plea for more. She wanted him. Now!
Jake chuckled then purred in her ear. "What's your favorite lollipop?"
She blinked in surprise, trying to figure out if Jake just asked what she thought. "Lollipop?" She rasped out the word because his hand had just slid into her shorts and her mind swirled.
"Mm. My favorite is a Tootsie Pop."
He was sliding down her body, taking her shorts with him. When he spoke again, his breath was hot against the tiny patch of hair between her legs. "Know why?"
Charley didn't know, didn't care. She just did not want him to stop stroking her.
"Go ahead, Charley, ask me why."
"Wh – why?" She managed to ask on a breath of air as he sent one finger inside her. She thought she had been wet before.
"Because I like to see how many licks it takes to get to the . . ."She covered her eyes with her hands as Jake's tongue slid inside her then found her button, and oh – my – freaking –.
And yes, I will leave you hanging there. :-)

I did a cursory assessment of my shoe collection and eyeballed about 75 pairs. And you know what? I want more. I could never have enough shoes.
Here are eight styles I'm wanting and you'll be seeing (and hopefully wearing) this fall:
1. Platform Loafers
|Nine West. Love these.
Would look adorable with wide leg jeans or paired with a dress/skirt and dark tights or socks.
|Suede. J.Crew. Yes, please.
|Tory Burch. The leather is like butter. Delicious.
Now, who wants to give me $550? Anybody? Anybody?
These Christian Louboutins make me salivate.
Sadly instead of buying these, I'll be replacing my oven. Damn.
|Love these from Zara (probably because they look like a mini version of my favorite pair of riding boots).
Either way they are adorable and under $100.
|Just bought these Mootsies Tootsies slingbacks for $39.95 at DSW to wear to my friend's wedding next weekend.
|This type of boot is my go-to shoe for fall. I fell in love with these Steve Maddens at DSW.
Once I find some cute maternity skinny jeans, they are mine.
|Love these by Elizabeth and James. The pointy toe elongates the leg and looks adorable with anything.
I could go on and on but I think eight is enough. Wasn't that a tv show? I digress.
What about you? What shoes are you dying to add to your collection this fall?

I believe the road upgrading works in the Suva/ Nausori corridor is a mess.
I fail to understand why the Fiji Roads Authority does not plan their work in a better way.
They should have completed one roundabout at a time.
It's all in mess. Weather has made it worse. So far I believe not a single kilometre of road is complete apart from the two new bridges.
FRA and LTA should wake up and do something to avoid long traffic jams, and delays to work and school.
I believe these delays are costing the nation and ordinary citizens millions of dollars. FRA should have completed Suva to Nausori road before digging all over the place in the name of upgrading. The FRA, LTA and government ministers do not feel the pain because they don't pay for their vehicle maintenance.
I am not against upgrading but it should be better planned and executed.
The LTA should play a more active role in controlling traffic at peak hours rather than just booking motorists.Home | Top

[2006] Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics (Mp3 Download)
The title alone on Back to Basics is an allusion that perhaps Christina herself thinks she might have gone a little too far with Stripped; she stops short of offering an apology -- she even has a song where she proclaims she's "Still Dirrty" -- but this album's emphasis on songs and singing, along with the fixation with the big-band era, does suggest that Aguilera is ready to be once again seen as a world-class vocalist. Nevertheless, Back to Basics also makes clear that Stripped, for as flawed as it is, was also a necessary artistic move for Christina: she needed to get that out of her system in order to create her own style, one that is self-consciously stylized, stylish, and sexy. As the endless series of pinup photos in the album's booklet illustrates, Christina is obsessed with earning credibility through association: she dresses up as a big-band vamp and drops allusions to Etta James, Billie Holiday, and Aretha Franklin, all under the assumption that listeners will think of Ms. Aguilera as the heir to that throne. While she may have the vocal chops to pull it off to a certain extent, Back to Basics doesn't quite feel like it belongs to the classic soul and R&B tradition, even if the second disc is designed to be an old-fashioned jazzy R&B album, complete with bluesy torch songs and occasionally live instrumentation. Aguilera's instincts are too modern to make the album sound classic. She remains stubbornly autobiographical -- she disses departed producer Scott Storch on "F.U.S.S.," again addresses the abuse inflicted on her mother by her father, spends much of the album detailing her love for her new husband, Jordan, and always filters everything through a very personal filter that makes this seem like a journal entry à la Alanis Morissette (even "Thank You," subtitled as her dedication to her fans, isn't about the fans; it's about how Christina has inspired them, saved their life, or kept them going while stationed in Iraq -- all stories recounted in the voicemail that runs throughout the track). Her lyrics remain bluntly direct, particularly when she talks about sex: "Candyman" makes her cherry pop and her panties drop, while the "Nasty Naughty Boy" will receive "a little taste of the sugar below my waist." That combined with the slick, precise computerized production means that even when Christina tries to sound classic, she winds up sounding like the present.
But that's what's good about Back to Basics -- even though she strives hard to be a classic soul singer here, she can't help but sound like herself, and surely there is no other big-budget pop album in 2006 that bears the stamp of its auteur so clearly. As she did on Stripped, she has gotten to indulge herself here, but where she was more concerned with sound than structure last time around, on Back to Basics she spends just as much time on song and structure, often coming up with strong, memorable ballads and dance tunes on both the dance-oriented first disc and the slow-burning second. Of course, she reveals more than she intended through her indulgence. Try as she may to sound like a classic singer from the '40s, she really seems to have learned all of her moves from Madonna in Dick Tracy; whether she's shaking her hips to a canned brass section or breathing heavily into a microphone, every move seems to have been copped from Breathless Mahoney -- and that's not just on the campily retro "Candyman" (which sounds like a rewrite of "Hanky Panky"), but it's also true on the deliberately modern numbers like "Ain't No Other Man," whose stabs of sampled brass sound straight out of early-'90s jazz-rap. When Aguilera does stray from the Madonna template here, it's to wander into Fiona Apple territory on the second disc -- with its loping piano, "Mercy on Me" is a dead ringer for anything from When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King. There are hints of a couple other artists here -- some echoes of Norah Jones on the torch songs -- but the fusion of Madonna and Fiona Apple is so inspired and unexpected, it sounds original because nobody else would have thought of it, or put it together in such wildly weird ways as Christina does here. Sure, Back to Basics is way too long at two discs and some of it doesn't work quite as well as the rest, but it has far more hits than misses and it holds together as an artistic statement (certainly more so than any other album made by one of her teen pop peers). It may be all about style, it may be a little crass and self-centered, but it's also catchy, exciting, and unique. It's an album to build a career upon, which would be a remarkable achievement by any measure, but coming after the near career suicide of Stripped, it's all the more impressive.

thank you, it's great
That's really great~
I look forward to seeing the latest of razorlight
i need the picture at the bottom it wont cum up so how do i download it
Hey the links don't work anymore. Any chance of reposting?? Thanks.
OK, here's the deal with downloading these tracks..
Click on the track you want and you'll be taken to a Japanese website. Let the little video commercial run and then you'll hear the track being streamed in the media player. Under this you'll see a bunch of orange boxes. Right click on the first one and 'Save Target As'. Just rename the file, if you want, once you're done so you can find it easily. And bingo bango.
No, really, you're welcome.
i followed munkychops advise and for the most part, had no problem, however, please see the notes below as not all songs could be downloaded:
on disc 1, tracks 4, 8, 11 & 12 are unavailable for download
on disc 2, tracks 5, 7, and 9 cannot be downloaded
any way to get this fixed??
well, actually you can get the tracks just by letting the media player stream and buffer the track. once its fully buffered 100% and the tracks being played, you can check your 'temporary internet files' folder in drive C: and voila! the tracks you want are available there. its also worked for any kinds of media files being played using basic media player. just visit your 'temporary internet folder' everytime before you turn off your pc. there are many things to be found there.
I really wanna dld the song "save me from myself" but I just can't cuz the link is broken. Can someone plz fix it?? Thx a lot!
just updated all songs to a new link
enjoy it...
it says i need a password. can someone help me? thanks!!

Truman Medical Centers will sell four buildings to Children's Mercy
Truman Medical Centers announced the sale of four buildings in the Hospital Hill neighborhood to Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics for an undisclosed amount.
TMC spokesman Shane Kovac said the proceeds would be used to renovate the Felix Building, 2211 Charlotte St., to house the hospitals' IT and call staffs. The staffs are spread across several locations. He said this would free up space for clinical staff and physician offices.
"This was a mutually beneficial agreement between TMC and Children's Mercy that allows both organizations more freedom for current and future space planning and expansion," TMC CEO John Bluford said in a release.
The transfers will take place in phases, beginning in June and ending in May 2016.
The ultimate goal, Kovac said, is to free up space and money for a possible stand-alone outpatient surgery building in the Hospital Hill neighborhood.
"They needed space immediately, and we wanted to use the capital for other projects," Kovac said. "It's all sort of a master Hospital Hill site plan, where Children's Mercy will predominantly occupy the west side of Holmes Street, and we will predominately occupy the east side of Holmes Street."
Melissa Novak, director of media and public relations for Children's Mercy, said the hospital is always on the lookout for new space.
"We're kind of landlocked where we are, so any time there are opportunities to get new space near us, we try to get them," she said. "I don't know that we have definitive plans (for the space) as of yet. There are several things on the table that the administration is considering, but they haven't landed on any of them yet."
The buildings and their transfer dates are:
Diagnostic and Treatment Center Building, 660 East 24th St. — June 1
Eye Foundation of Kansas City Building, 2300 Holmes St. — Sept. 1
DaVita Dialysis Hospital Hill Building, 2250 Holmes St. — Jan. 1, 2015
TMC Health Sciences Building, 2220 Holmes St. — May 1, 2016.

Mister J stayed for Lunch Bunch after precshool today. As has beome habit when I pack his lunch, I pack one for Miss M, too. Most of the time, she eats whatever is in her box around 10am - she is ready for a snack and eager to see what's inside her LLB. On days when Mister J stays for Lunch Bunch, Miss M and I usually come back home so I can get some work done around the house. Today, though, I had some work to do on a preschool fundraiser and some errands to run. Anticipating this, and knowing the weather would be just a little warmer today, I tossed a beach towel in the mommy-van this morning (I couldn't find a neat sheet). After the errands were over, we parked in the preschool parking lot, spread out our towel on some nearby grass, and had a picnic. We talked to a few folks who were picking up their children, one friend saw us picnicking as she was driving by and stopped for a chat, and then we just walked around a bit (Miss M loves walking on the curbing!).
It wasn't until I mentioned this picnic on my Facebook status, and someone commented on it, that I was reminded about the ordinary extraordinariness of it. Such a simple thing to do - sit on a blanket (um, towel), share some lunch, and enjoy the sun and breeze, just the two of us. What a special mom and daughter moment it turned out to be. I wish I'd thought to pull out my camera - but I bet it would have spoiled our ordinary, extraordinary moment. Not all special moments are about pictures - sometimes the uninterrupted memory is even sweeter.
UPDATE 2/27/09: I've added a new label for my blog posts - Ordinary Extraordinary - so I can tag other simple, special moments like this one. I'll tag old posts as I have time.

Nope. I can speak English and bad English and that's about the extent of my awesomness in language.
No, but from what you've asked it sounds surprisingly similar to English. Is this sentence just an odd one out or is the whole language quite similar to English?
In fact, this is Dutch...................................................................
I understand this is Dutch, I was just commenting on how similar the sentence sounded to the English equivalent.

Wild defeat Sabres for fourth straight win
Pominville, Coyle deliver in shootout; Dubnyk makes 30 savesby Joe Yerdon / NHL.com Correspondent
BUFFALO - The Minnesota Wild extended their win streak with their first shootout victory of the season Saturday.
Jason Pominville and Charlie Coyle scored in the shootout and Devan Dubnyk stopped three out of four shots to help the Wild to a 3-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres at First Niagara Center.
Dubnyk made 30 saves for Minnesota (31-25-10), which has won four in a row. Robin Lehner made 28 saves for Buffalo (26-31-9).
Pominville beat Lehner to the glove side in the fourth round of the shootout.
"At first I was kind of laughing at the boos, but then kind of got focused and actually looked a little bit at what [Coyle] did because he's a righty," Pominville said. "I like to see what righties do; I just kind of changed the angle and it was pretty much the exact same as when he went and I thought there would be room there and I was able to find a hole."
The Wild are 1-2 in shootouts and have won eight of their past 11 games since John Torchetti replaced former coach Mike Yeo on an interim basis.
Video: MIN@BUF: Pominville beats Lehner to secure the win
"Confidence is growing and growing. It shows good when you're winning and we had a little streak going, so it's been good," Coyle said. "We've got to keep this thing going, season's winding down. All the points that we can get here and take one game at a time but we're growing, we're feeling good and that's a good sign."
The Sabres' woes continued in shootouts; they are 1-6 in the breakaway competition.
"I think it's just frustrating with our shootout results so far this year," Sabres forward Jack Eichel said. "There's a lot of skilled players on this team. I don't think we've been good enough. The shootout's an opportunity to grab an extra point. I think as a group we can bear down and start taking advantage of it."
Koivu's power-play goal tied the game 2-2 with 5:41 left in the third period. After a tripping penalty by Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges, Matt Dumba found Koivu in the slot and he scored his 15th goal of the season with a wrist shot past Lehner.
"I thought Mikko's goal was huge," Torchetti said. "I thought [Dumba] did a great job with poise and we had that bumper support and that's what opened up the lane. We did a good job and power play tied it up and I thought we did a great job in overtime. Honestly, I had a blast; it was fun."
Video: BUF@MIN: Koivu ties the game on the power play
Ryan Suter extended his assist streak to five games with a secondary assist on Koivu's goal. He has six assists during the streak.
The Sabres went ahead in the second period when they took advantage of a double-minor against Nino Niederreiter for hig sticking 4:23 into period to overcome an early 1-0 deficit.
Johan Larsson made it 1-1 5:15 into the second when he put a rebound of Rasmus Ristolainen's point shot past Dubnyk for his fifth goal of the season.
Eichel made it 2-1 1:23 later with his team-leading 19th goal. Eichel received a pass from Sam Reinhart and snapped a wrist shot past Dubnyk, who was out of position when he tracked the puck to Reinhart from a pass by Cal O'Reilly. Eichel scored the Sabres' only goal in the shootout.
Video: MIN@BUF: Eichel goes top-shelf for a power-play goal
With 44 points, Eichel moved into second in NHL scoring amongst rookies. Eichel and Reinhart (30) are the first two Sabres rookies with 30 or more points since current Wild forwards Thomas Vanek (48) and Pominville (30) did it in 2005-2006.
"I think we played well too," Eichel said. "We had a lot of chances. We did a lot of good things as a team. It's a tough one to swallow. It's frustrating."
David Jones gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead 2:16 into the first period with his 10th goal and first with the Wild. Jones' wrist shot was stopped by Lehner, but the loose puck bounced off the Ristolainen's skate and past the Sabres goaltender. Jones was acquired in a trade from the Calgary Flames last Monday.
"We weren't getting bounces earlier and now we're finding ways," Pominville said. "[Power play] has been really going well; we've climbed in the standings in that aspect and it got a big goal for us tonight. But winning those games where it's a tight game or you've got to come back to win is something that shows a lot about our team for sure."

Buying Tramadol online has a lot of advantages. The biggest advantage by far is the option of having the medication delivered right to your doorstep. A lot of online pharmacies utilize Fedex to make their deliveries around the country. One can also buy Tramadol directly from the manufactures with FedEx delivery.
FedEx has been a logistic giant for a long time and is known for their efficiency and professionalism. The customer receives periodic updates on the status of the shipment including estimated delivery time until they are delivered the package by a uniformed FedEx employee. The courier service currently can deliver Tramadol to 1800 cities in 30 regions. And they also have an added advantage of same-day delivery. In the domain of health care, where the patient requires Tramadol supply urgently, same day delivery is a boon. The courier service fulfills this need by ensuring same day delivery over multiple pin codes in the country.
The FedEx same-day service includes the following sub-options:
- Priority – this is available all days of the week with pickup and delivery scheduled within a couple of hours.
- Standard – this service is available only Monday to Friday and pickup and delivery is done in 4 hours
- Economy – this is a cost-effective option available from Monday to Friday and delivery is done by end of the day
- Route service – A custom service offered where the customer can opt for same-day delivery and pickup at multiple locations
Apart from this, there is also the regular delivery option where the Tramadol will be delivered within 4 to 5 days. Depending on the requirement a suitable option can be selected.
How to ensure your Tramadol is safely delivered?
As the transportation of Tramadol requires a little more care, to ensure the drug is not damaged or the quality not compromised during the transit, the courier service has introduced FedEx TranSmart to ensure that your package reaches you without any incident.
Additionally, transporting drugs has come under the radar by the authorities due to various reports of illegal drugs being imported, exported or sold without a license. Therefore while buying Tramadol online and using the fast delivery option, it is important to take some precautions to protect yourself legally and ensure that the package is handled properly. FedEx TranSmart is a third-party contract service that takes care of reconciling the shipment. The
following are the steps to be followed:
- The service requires that you send your prescription for Tramadol to all parties involved including manufactures, packager, and distributor. This is done using FedEx Express or FedEx Ground which uploads your prescription to your shipping file.
- When the Tramadol has been delivered, the driver is required to get your signature as proof of delivery which must match the signature on the original shipping file.
- The manufacturer, packager, and distributor must fill in the package tracking information and submit it to FedEx.
- The courier service then matches the above information to the original shipping file.
- This is the final delivery record. All these records are stored offline as well as online on a secured database for seven years after shipment as required by the FDA.

In the beginning, Cheney draped himself in lies. For example, on August 26, 2002, he said, "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."
More lies came later. In September 2003, Cheney said the Iraqis were "providing bomb-making expertise and advice to the Al Qaeda organization." In October 2003, He said, "Saddam had an established relationship with Al Qaeda, providing training to Al Qaeda members in the areas of poisons, gases, making conventional weapons."
Later still, more lies. On June 14, 2004, he said Saddam "had long established ties with Al Qaeda."
To many of us, these were transparent lies. We could see the emperor had no clothes. We could also see the purpose of those lies—to manufacture consent, as Noam Chompsky has described the manipulation of populations via propaganda. Cheney, back then, still had to consider We the People; he was still operating within a democratic frame, where he needed public opinion to be favorable to his aims, where the public could be as driven by fear as he was by greed, power-lust, folly and self-delusion.
Then came the election of 2006, Nancy Pelosi and her declaration that impeachment was "off the table," and the gradual realization, ending in today's sickening reality that the thugs were going to get away with it—nothing would ever be done to stop them.
Cheney hasn't missed the message either. He sees he is immune from impeachment, immune from prosecution; immune from censure of any kind. He is safe from the normal checks and balances built into the Constitution of our once lively democratic republic. Thus, he now can tell the truth. He can unveil himself in all his sloppy, corrupt nakedness. He is now free to ignore We the People and expose his utter disdain for democratic rule. Thus we see his smirk, as he smugly responds to the reporter's question— "So?"
The American people want an end to the war? So? The Iraqi people want us to leave? So? We torture human beings? So? "Listen up," he is saying, "the people are irrelevant. The people are powerless. Only We the Rich, We the Elite, We the Corporations, We the Criminals have the power." He might as well have said, "Eat S_ _ _ _ and die!"
Instead, we have Dick Cheney's truth, as clear and concise as it could possibly be. So?

When I said my wife was lost, her sister laughed. Connie thought I was joking.
But I wasn`t. Tina had been gone from the barbecue at her sister`s house for nearly an hour when I finally tore myself from the football game I had been watching and asked where she was.
``She just took the baby for a walk around the neighborhood,`` said Connie. ``She`ll be back any minute.``
``Trust me,`` I said. ``She`s lost.``
Connie and the others scoffed at my concern, some assuming I was foolish and others that, like a typical male chauvinist, I was underestimating my wife, maybe even treating her like a child.
But I didn`t care what they thought. It was getting dark and I knew Tina was wandering aimlessly, looking for a familiar house or car to get her bearings. So I got in our car and began circling the neighborhood.
It took about 10 minutes to locate her, trudging down a street about five blocks east.
``Thank goodness you found me!`` she said.
Although she had been to her sister`s house many times, Tina had never made note of the address. Why should she? She had it written in her address book. Unfortunately, she didn`t take her address book along on her stroll.
I bring this up not to embarrass my wife, but to refute certain conclusions drawn by Prof. Thomas Bever of the University of Rochester from a study he did on the differences between male and female navigation.
Females, Bever says, tend to navigate using landmarks, while men rely on a vector system, calculating direction and distance.
``It`s been claimed that males are better navigators than females,`` Bever says. ``We don`t find that.``
In fact, Bever refers to the male system as ``primitive`` in comparison.
``Having a landmark representation is a much smarter way to get around,`` he says. ``Evolution doesn`t need us to walk around with blindfolds.``

If you really want the theoretical answer, though - they balance each other out. Consider if each function existed within a vacuum, without the other function to balance things out:
- Ti: Assessing everything in terms of logical coherence and first-hand understanding, without ever considering the effect it has on one's social standing.
- Fi: Assessing everything in terms of the implicit emotional needs it fulfills, without ever considering its objective, quantifiable reliability.
- Fe: Assessing everything in terms of how it defines a social relationship, without ever considering its logical coherence or what first-hand understanding suggests.
- Te: Assessing everything in terms of how it reliably and objectively quantifies something, without ever considering its effect on emotional needs.
Admittedly crude, but hopefully you get my point.

I think that Si/Ne are "discrete" percieving functions. That is, they take data and break it up into smaller chunks for storage. Si focuses on what is seen as solid and reliable, and builds up a collections of facts and principals which are seen as sound. It forms a number of knowledge nodes, if you like. Ne then draws in the links between them, forming a spider web of interconnected facts. Ne is still a discrete function because its links are well defined(A links to B,C, F and H...) even if there can be an aweful lot of them.
Se/Ni are "continous" percieving functions. The direct sensory input from Se is completely raw and is processed whole. Sights, sounds, smells and the like are utilised in whatever form they are recieved in order to learn about the object of study.
To Ni, meaning is flexible. The interpretation of something canchange with nothing more than a different perception, and in many ways both are correct. With a rather wordless character, Ni will often work with concepts and ideas that the user finds hard to express in formalised words until the processing is complete. As Se works in raws sensory experience, Ni utilises raw thoughts.
Does any of this make sesnse to people?

I gather, I gather.Love is the point.
I personally don't feel like I use much Ti. Both Te and Fi come before Ti.
"Why does Ti always go with Fe and Fi with Te?"
actually this relationship exists mostly in J-doms.
and the opposite J is their shadow.
so you can say that it "comes along with" the opposite J and you can say that it "goes against" the opposite J.
and "why" is a complex question. because god wanted it to be this way? because it has been observed and was written down?
but it's not surprising that the shadow works against "you", is it?
and i don't think it makes sense to define a shadow as something entirely static.
it responds to you. if you are P-dom and use your secondary J a lot, your shadow might just respond with your opposite J a lot.
the shadow has all the possibilities, but it has probabilities as well.
in the big picture of your live, your decisions are created by your dominant function and they are kept in between boundaries by the opposite of your dominant function.
and why is it so easy to observe the J-J conflict?
because J functions can be more easily identified via theory of mind, if communication is the object ob observation. they corrupt interpretations and leave an obvious handwriting. the P functions can be identified by actions, readiness and certain skills - factors that are comparably elusive in communication.
is there a necessary conflict?
not in theoretical utopia.
don't confuse functions with their contents or conditioning:
the developmental learning task of every function is to work together not against other functions.
example: if you are Fe-dom or Fe-secondary:
to develop your shadow-Fi you must access Fe consciously, understand what it does and why, then stop Fe from discriminating Fi. then Fi will start to talk to you and say what it wants.
a matter of adjusting your understanding and attitudes and forgiving and giving up specific attachments to ideas or preferences.
this is true for the opposites of introversion in the same functions. (Ti vs Te, Se vs Si, ....)
i don't see a hard opposition between introversion of one function and extroversion of the other function. (Ti vs Fe, Te vs Fi, Se vs Ni, Ne vs Si)
this is, i believe, why those shadow qualities become so obvious.
a Ti-dom is unable to suppress his Fe because he does not even recognize it. so the Fe shadow becomes a mighty live force. but it has very odd characteristics, compared to the Fe of an enfj, because it's not flexibly concerned with the immediate situations but with some general live theme, like a code of honor of a soldier for example. so Ti-doms are enslaved by Fe and any conscious conflict with Fe is a result of this, not the origin, but more often there is no conflict and Ti-dom are stubbornly identified with their Fe attitudes, similarly to how someone "is identified with an offender" in a stockholm syndrom.
likewise the Ni-dom is unable to suppress Se, so Se becomes a mighty active ruler of the Ni-dom's live theme. as such it's enslaving not empowering. its the voice of paranoia. dooms-day dreams.
so this kind of conflict is hardened by conditioning at it needs some kind of therapy in the broadest sense of the world to ease the conflict.
but Ni-dominance can suppress Ne, so the lack of Ne becomes a dominant factor in live.
and Ti can suppress Te so the lack of Te can become a dominant factor in live.
so this is a hard and direct conflict (Ni vs Ne, Ti vs Te, Se vs Si, ...) which is often conscious.
but i believe such conflict can naturally be transcended by sort of loosing yourself in some kind of demanding activity.

The Sparrowhawk Rules...
The neighbours have taken down their feeders as well.
And the reason is Madame Sparrowhawk (I do mention her a post or so ago). I have never known the like. Yes we do get a hawk coming through quite often. She usually takes collared doves.
But this lady do sit right next to the feeder... or in the tree the feeder hangs from... She sits and waits until we see her off. I just have never known such a bold and stubborn one before.

IMV: U.S. radiation therapy growth soars to 15%
The top three cancer site types treated with radiation are breast, prostate and lung cancer, which account for 24 percent, 20 percent and 12 percent, respectively.
"Digital imaging has become integrated into treatment planning, simulation, and to guide tumor treatment real-time," said Lorna Young, senior director of IMV's market research division. "Regarding treatment planning, nearly all (98 percent) of the radiation therapy treatment plans use CT images, 12 percent use MRI and 8 percent use PET images.
"Concurrently, the use of CT for simulation has displaced x-ray simulators, with two-thirds of the current simulator installed base being CT simulators, whereas x-ray simulators comprised two-thirds of the simulator installed base in 2003," Young said. "Relative to image guidance, over two-thirds of the radiation therapy sites provide treatments using image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), up from 15 percent of the sites in 2004, using either a dedicated IGRT system or electronic portal imaging, ultrasound, x-ray or CT as their primary guidance device."
The IMV report also found:
- More than one-third of the radiation therapy sites are planning to purchase external beam therapy units as replacement or additional units over the next three years, including linear accelerators, CyberKnife (Accuray), Gamma Knife (Elekta) and TomoTherapy technology.
- Of the treatment planning systems installed, over half of the hardware or server technology has been upgraded, with the majority of the upgrades taking place in 2008 and 2009.
- Eighty-nine percent of the radiation therapy sites have "record and verify" and/or oncology information systems installed.
- Two-thirds of the oncology information systems are interfaced with an EMR system, and 85 percent have digital images available on their system.
