I've met quite a few people who have nobody in the family that cooks. Since I've never been forward enough to grill them on how they do it, I thought I'd ask here.
I raised two boys (and a couple of husbands) and cooked daily, sometimes simple meals and others more involved.
What I can't figure out is,do you take everyone out to eat every day, and what does the family have for breakfast? If there's no food in the pantry, what do you do when the kids are hungry, whether it's dinnertime or not?
So I guess what I'd like to know is, what does a typical week of eating look like in a non-cooking family?

Website, capture page, signup page with credit card facility
Budget $750-1500 USD
Hi there, I am looking for a website with a DVD clip embedded that starts up on opening site.
I have attached a picture of our current site we use. [url removed, login to view]
The capture page comes up when clicking plan on me
The Enrollment form comes up when clicking sign up.
We are looking to revamp the whole look of our site, capture page and sign up form with a New Zealand/Australia/UK type look rather than American.
When you click on the Plan on me button it opens to a capture page. I was hoping this could be already open down one side of area that is currently black. Also the Plan on me button could be a lot bigger and called "Like" ?
The Capture page would probably only need * Full Name * Email *Phone number * best time to call. so there is no need to scroll down the page to fill in.
There are a few buttons at bottom of page that seem to be overkill and not needed. Buttons I would like would be:
* Replay button placed on top of DVD
* Sign up for a Personalised Domain name and business site. [url removed, login to view]
New suggestion for this site: [url removed, login to view]
Can you please utilise the black space around graphic and fill the whole page with a similar beautiful beach holiday picture with greens and blues for main colours.
The DVD area could be much bigger also with just enough room on one side for capture page info to be filled in.?
And a replay button over dvd when finished.
The only button needed will be the signup button to Create unique domain name for business setup. which is currently called Enrollment form.
OLD Enrollment form is ugly needs to be revamped with easy to fillin form similar info to old form, suggestions encouraged? The color is awful.
This page will have an Auto Responder
Will need a similar place to choose a domain name: eg. [url removed, login to view]
Will need a similar Term and Conditions area, and 3 boxes to add business centre names. Also will need a Credit card option to pay, using a Buy Now button or something similar?
This is what the back office currently looks like. Click on back Office at bottom page and login: BettyBoop PW:brenda7767
This new Monthly charge will be $9.95 US
Thanks for checking me out. Brenda

For Australians
You are here:
In Colombia there are taxes at national and regional level. The national taxes apply to all natural or legal persons resident in the country and regional taxes are determined by each department or municipality under the parameters set by the law. The main national taxes are the income tax, the income tax for equality (CREE), the value added tax (VAT), and the debit tax. The main municipal and regional taxes are the industry and commerce tax (ICA), the real estate tax and the registration tax.
Tax regulations have incorporated several tax benefits (exemptions, special credits, additional deductions, etc.) which seek to encourage priority sectors for the national economy and improve infrastructure and assets of the country's companies, which aim to generate more formal employment (Source: Procolombia, Legal Guide 2016).

Michelle's most favorite quilt was not one I had anything to do with making. It was the quilt I grew up with as a kid. To say the least, it was well loved. Blocks were just gone. Different fabrics wore differently than others. Some faded, some disappeared. Still, when I'd look at it, I could pick out pices from my favorite "Barbie" dress, shirts that my dad wore, a jumper I had one Christmas. The memories were special to me. Michelle refused to part with the tattered shreds because of how incredibly soft the years of use had turned what was left of it. Finally, though, when the back started to shred, it was time to let it go. The top picture shows what was left of 50-some years of a well-loved quilt.
I replaced the shreds with the brightest colors I could find, backed it with the softest quilting cotton I could find, something known as lawn. I can only hope this new quilt will stand the test of time that my grandmother's definitely did. I gave to Don and Michelle for their birthdays this month, and I do believe I saw it packed in the car when they set out on vacation a few days later. With luck, it'll be around long enough for them to make new memories.

Soluble fiber helps remove cholesterol from the body (like oats, barley and beans), slow down absorption of glucose and promote healthy bacteria in the colon. Insoluble fiber helps move things along for a healthy GI tract (prevent constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticular disease). In addition, both types of fiber keep us feeling fuller longer, which can help with weight loss.
In addition, apples have antioxidants, called phytochemicals, in the peels that can help with glucose control and provide cardiovascular benefits by improving cholesterol levels and reducing oxidation of fats in the bloodstream. A Finnish study, reported in Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter, found women who ate more than 71 grams of apples daily (about half a medium apple) were at 43 percent lower risk of coronary mortality. Men saw a smaller benefit from 54 grams or more daily. Apples also have been linked to lower cancer risk (as many other fruits and vegetables).
Most of us know that apples are good for us, but they seem to be a fruit we often ignore. The bottom line is this fall, when so many varieties are available and reasonably priced, go ahead and have one. Cut one up, add a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning, and have a healthy snack.

POPLARVILLE, MS (WLOX) - Poplarville police said they are looking for one of two burglary suspects accused of stealing items from a church and store on August 12 and 13. According to Poplarville Police Lt. John Kramer said they still haven't arrested Rokeland Hammond, 20, of Lumberton for burglary charges.
The other suspect in the burglaries is Terrance Jackson, 22, of Poplarville, Kramer said. He was arrested on Tuesday, August 13. Kramer said both Hammond and Jackson are accused of entering Triumph Baptist Church on Martin Luther King Drive in Poplarville through a window on Monday, August 12.
They allegedly stole microphones and printers as well as and undisclosed amount of pennies that were collected for fundraising, Kramer said.
The next day Tuesday, August 13 the two are accused of climbing through at window at The Other Side store on Magnolia Street in Poplarville. Once they got in, Kramer said they stole baby clothes, bags, jewelry, coffee makers and other items. An anonymous tip led investigators to a description of the burglary suspects vehicle: White, Ford Taurus.
A car matching that description was spotted Tuesday night at around 11:30 p.m. When officers conducted a traffic stop the officers reportedly found "spice" or synthetic marijuana as well as the suspects.
Both Jackson and Hammond and another occupant in the car were arrested for drug charges. However, Kramer said, officers weren't aware that Hammond was also a suspect in the burglaries so he was released. Jackson, on the other hand, was arrested for misdemeanor possession of synthetic marijuana and two counts of felony commercial burglary.
Kramer said once Hammond is arrested he'll face two counts of felony commercial burglary. Kramer said, Jackson was being held at the Pearl River County Jail, but has posted a $20,000 bond.
Some of the stolen items were recovered and returned, however, the stolen pennies were not.

Latest News
According to the ContiRT20's developers, the new tyre offers up to 30 per cent greater life expectancy than its predecessor.
Continental AG's industrial tyre division has launched a new range of pneumatic industrial radial tyre products. The company, which is positioned as number one in the European industrial tyre market, second in the UK and is a key player globally, has also rationalised its complete product offering in order to focus on a smaller selection of products that the company believes are more versatile than their predecessors. Explaining the strategy behind the launch, Continental UK executives and representatives from the industrial tyre division's research and development team met journalists for a launch conference on 30 June near Egham in Surrey. ContiRT20 makes its UK debut
At the centre of the event was the launch of the new ContiRT20 Performance pneumatic radial tyre, which replaces the IC80 and ConRad HT products made for forklifts, side loaders and other industrial trucks. Thanks to its high-traction tread pattern, the new tyre can move heavy loads at speeds of up to 31 mph.
According to the company, the new tyre has managed to achieve up to 30 per cent greater life expectancy than its predecessor and the ContiRT20's traction characteristics are a clear intention of the tread design. All this is coupled together to offer long life, strong traction and increased comfort, safety and stability. True the tyres are not the cheapest on the market (and in fact fill a price point comfortably in the premium part of the market), but Continental has even addressed this by offering a value guarantee in the form of the ContiChallenge price promise.
So how's it all been done? Developers and testing engineers report that they took the heavy stresses such a product is subjected to in the wood, steel or cement industry, in shipyards, logistics centres, or at air and seaports into account when it came to producing the ContiRT20. And product engineers report that they spent time with end users to make sure that the new product met their demands. The new tyres were then devised using design and simulation software on Conti's banks of at least seven "very strong super-computers."
As result the tread depth, for example, was increased to the maximum for the longest service life possible. And the tread pattern design, featuring wide grooves, has been constructed to "guarantee reliable traction at all times on both surfaced and unsurfaced ground." Rolling resistance was substantially reduced to ensure low energy consumption, apparently without adversely affecting driving comfort. The tyre is also designed to deliver more even wear without compromising on stationary stability or protection against stone trapping. The new tread compound is said to give higher wear and damage resistance, meaning 20 per cent longer tyre life.
Prototype tyres were then manufactured using the same plant and machinery that the serial production tyres are now being made on at the company's newly upgraded Korbach manufacturing plant. The result the prototypes were truly representative and that, thanks to the freshly automated Korbach production line, the company is operating at better levels of consistency than ever.
Before Continental gave the final green light for volume production, the firm evaluated tests of over 1300 tyres in the field, which resulted in some pretty impressive testimonials. Europe's largest sawmilling company, Stora Enso Timber AG had the tyre on test. Their fleet manager, Ernst Tober said: "The reliable ContiRT20 Performance is the right tyre for us, because we cannot afford downtime. Its long lifetime means the cost-benefit analysis works out really well for us."
Concrete Manufacturer, Haba-Beton, based in Teising, Germany also trialled the new tyres. Plant manager, Billy Obereisenbuchner, commented: "The long lifetime and the durability of the ContiRT20 Performance is great. Breakdown-related downtimes can therefore be pretty much be ruled out."
The launch of the new Conti RT20 follows the earlier launch of the ContiRV20 just over a year ago. Again this tyre is capable of speeds of up to 31 mph on certain vehicles. The tread compound and design of the ContiRV20 also minimises rolling resistance, by up to 30 per cent when tested against a comparable crossply tyre. Lower rolling resistance means lower energy consumption, so users save on fuel costs with every mile driven and reduce CO2 emissions.
At the same time, the tyre still maintains full grip on all surfaces in airport environments. The ContiRV20 is also compatible with the Continental Tubeless Sealing Ring which prevents sudden air loss in the event of a puncture, offers simplified and quicker mounting and means turning on the rim is no longer critical.

Ben Crawford
Born in Cork, Ireland, Ben graduated in 2007 with a BA in Fine Art. He now lives in northern New South Wales with his wife and daughter, painting from his studio situated on an organic banana plantation. The colours, textures, lines, exotic fauna and flora of the local countryside permeate his canvases. Although his paintings often rife on the landscape, they aren't constrained by its traditions. Elements of surrealism and a semi- autobiographical narrative are also present in much of Ben's body of work. In addition to these more figurative references, the abstract quality of paint itself informs a lot of the decision making in his painting process.Read more about Ben Crawford and view the artist blog

Evolutionary Architecture
When did we become content with the world as destructive as it is?
This question has no easy answer. My green research project will strive to show how:
- Architectural design and engineering has hit a point of contentment and conformity when advancements in technology and technique have finally seemed to surpass our creative drive.
- One time costs using improved building techniques and materials ARE beneficial when considering the entire life of the structure and the community. Materials that serve multiple purposes cut down on consumption.
- The realization that the current norms of architecture are seriously starting to have a negative impact on the ecology of an area and the 'mental-patterns' of its inhabitants. We are at a cultural hurdle where it is necessary to incorporate/utilize the existing ecosystems before we choke off too much of the earth and it disappears.
- We are subconsciously encouraging uniformity and not encouraging the public to expand their knowledge and imaginative potential with "cookie-cutter" architecture.
- We have the ability to utilize the building to assist in powering itself by harnessing the natural forces present around the structure. With serious energy problems on the horizon, why not prepare our buildings to adapt and respond by using different, cleaner, more abundant forms of energy. This will help avoid the dagger of a spike in energy costs.
Within my research, I have divided it into several sections:
An in depth summary of Eugene Tsui's theory of revolutionizing design by taking lessons from nature. Evolution has had millions of years of refining and perfecting its forms and processes, we can learn from this.
Comparing existing and conceptual buildings that implemented Evolutionary architecture against conventional structures of the same/similar purposes.
Discovering who is involved and would benefit most from this information, then creating profiles cataloging their priorities, incentives and ethics when it comes to designing.
PSYCHOLOGICAL/SOCIAL IMPACT OF ARCHITECTUREA list of reasons why conventional architecture has subtle negative effects on our psyche, physical health, ant the ecology of the planet.
Gensler, Having global influence in the design community, has an opportunity that many design companies do not. This page will propose ideas that Gensler can implement to create truly unique, desirable and sustainable architecture.
So please continue on to the Flash portion of my post to learn more about how we can jump-start our design evolution once more.

Lucentis effective in treating RVO, studies find
NEW YORK Patients receiving an investigational drug for internal swelling of the eye due to blocked veins experienced better results than those receiving placebo, results of two late-stage clinical trials show.
Biotech company Genentech announced results of the phase 3 trials of Lucentis (ranibizumab) in patients with the swelling, known medically as macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion, also known as RVO. The company presented results from both trials at the Retina Congress 2009 meeting in New York Sunday.
"RVO can lead to sudden loss of vision for which there are few treatment options," Genentech EVP global development and chief medical officer Hal Barron said in a statement. "As early as seven days after their first injection, patients who received monthly injections of Lucentis had, on average, a statistically significant improvement in their vision that lasted through six months."
Amgen, GSK, Novartis win top drug industry award
NEW YORK Biotechnology company Amgen won a 2009 Prix Galien Award for a drug used to treat a rare autoimmune bleeding disorder, the Prix Galien USA committee announced Thursday.
The Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based drug maker won the Prix Galien USA Best Biotechnology Product award for Nplate (romiplostim), the first treatment specifically developed for chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura and the first peptibody protein approved by the Food and Drug Administration. ITP results from a low number of platelets, causing the blood to fail to clot as it should and resulting in purple bruises on the skin and mucous membranes.
British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline also won the Best Biotechnology Product award, for Promacta (eltrombopag), used to treat thrombocytopenia.
Novartis won the Best Pharmaceutical Product award for the cancer drug Gleevec (imatinib mesylate). French pharmacist Roland Mehl started the Prix Galien in 1970, and it was brought to the United States in 2007. The award is meant to recognize technical, scientific and clinical research achievements in the development of medicines and medical technologies.
"The 2009 Prix Galien USA winners represent what is possible when basic scientific research translates into drug development and discovery," New York University School of Medicine professor and Prix Galien USA committee chairman Gerald Weissmann said in a statement. "We all benefit from the research that provides new treatments for the millions of cancer patients worldwide and for patients living with rare blood diseases."
Wegmans ranks high on J.D. Power and Associates 2009 National Pharmacy Study
ROCHESTER, N.Y. The results of J.D. Power and Associates 2009 National Pharmacy Study were recently released, with Wegmans Pharmacy ranked "Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Supermarket Pharmacies," Wegmans announced earlier this week.
More than 12,000 consumers participated in the web-based study that was conducted in May and June of this year. Seven key factors were measured: pharmacists, non-pharmacist staff, convenience, medication availability and information, store layout and design, cost competitiveness and remote ordering convenience.
"This recognition is special because it shows just how much our employees care for our customers each and every day," stated Wegmans CEO Danny Wegman. "The relationships our pharmacy people build with our customers are truly meaningful."
In addition to supermarket pharmacies, mass merchandisers and chain drug stores were ranked in separate categories. Wegmans' score of 865 (out of a possible 1,000) was the highest among all pharmacies in the supermarket category.
Wegmans opened its first pharmacy at its Lyell Avenue store Rochester in 1972. Today, the company operates pharmacies in all of its stores, with 400 pharmacists and 1,600 pharmacy technicians on staff.

Program Search
Program Search
Please review the notes, instructions, and tips before accessing the Learning Abroad Program Search.
- You will need to use your CougarNet login credentials (not your PeopleSoft ID) to access this database.
- If that does not work, try adding "cougarnet\" before your CougarNet ID.
- This database is a work in progress. It was created manually, and errors may exist. Please notify Learning Abroad of any errors that require correcting.
- This database is for preliminary program search purposes only and may not be as up-to-date as the websites of program providers, faculty leaders, or exchange partners.
- Learning Abroad is not liable for the accuracy of the information within this database- it is the responsibility of the student to confirm specific details with the program provider, exchange institution, or faculty leader.
- This database was created using Microsoft SharePoint, and is thus optimized to work with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge web browsers.
- Functionality may be limited on mobile devices.
- Safari users have reported issues logging into the system. Use of another browser is highly recommended.
Program Search Instructions
1- To locate the program search, use the left-hand navigation within SharePoint and select "Search Programs" under "Lists".
Note: The number and names of links available under "Lists" in the left-hand navigation may be different for each user. Many of the other links that are visible will not be available.
2- Some search fields, such as Disciplines(s) Available, Region(s), Language(s) Available, Program Theme, and Program is Faculty - Preferred, are available in the Key Filters area, in the lower half of the left-hand navigation. If you wish to filter by one of these fields you MUST use the Key Filters function. To filter by other columns, review step 3 below.
- One (and only one) option must be selected from at least one of the filters, however you may include information in one (and only one) option each in as many as all five of the filters.
- The combination of Key Filters used will generate a selection of programs using "AND" logic.
- For example: When Discipline(s) Available is set to Accounting and Region(s) is set to Asia, the results will only show programs in Asia that offer accounting courses.
3- Other fields, such as Program Type, UH College, Provider/Leader, Country/Countries, City/Cities, Program Name, Program Term, Program Year, and Housing Type must be selected using Column Header Filters, as shown below. To utilize this function, hover your cursor over the column header. The column header will highlight itself and a black arrow will appear to the right of the column header. Click that black arrow to show the list of options from which you can choose. Only one option per column may be active at one time. When you select a filter option, the database will automatically narrow down your selection without pressing any additional buttons. To clear the filter, select "Clear Filter from (Column Name)" in the drop-down menu of that column header.
- The more filters used, the more limited the results will be. Some searches may return zero results while others return over 100 results.
- If you see too many results, consider adding one or more options to the Key Filters or Column Header Filters.
- If you see too few results, consider removing one or more options from the Key Filters or Column Header Filters.
- Key Filters and Column Header Filters can be combined, however each will need to be cleared separately.
- Some combinations will always return zero results.
- If you search for programs with South America for the Region in the Key Filters but then add New Zealand as the Country in the Column Header Filters, your search will return zero results.
Database Key and Tips
Program Link: An active hyperlink to the program's website. Extra navigation may be necessary to locate the specific program, however the link provided should be close.
Program Type: There are three types of program that UH students can participate in.
- Faculty-Led Programs
- Typically short-term programs
- May require affiliaton with a particular college or academic department
- Tuition (when applicable) is paid directly to UH at your regular tuition rate
- Other program fees (accommodations, meals, in-country transportation, airfare) are separate from tuition and in some cases are paid to a third-party provider
- Reciprocal Education Exchange Program (REEP)
- Typically for Spring and/or Fall term, however limited opportunities exist during the summer.
- May require affiliation with a particular college or academic department
- Tuition is paid directly to UH at your regular tuition rate
- Other program fees (accommodations, meals, in-country transportation) are separate from tuition and are not paid to UH
- Airfare is not included
- Affiliated Programs
- An umbrella term used for any program that is neither Faculty-Led nor Reciprocal Exchange
- The options listed in this program search are third-party affilated providers
- Each program, provider, location, and affiliated institution have their own admission requirements, costs, perks, and services available
- Other programs (non-affiliated providers or overseas institutions that UH does not currently have a Reciprocal Education Exchange Program Agreement with) will not appear in this database
- Students are encouraged to pursue programs from this database over programs that are not in this database due to quality control and accreditation
- May require affiliation with a particular major or educational background
- Tuition and fees are paid directly to the program provider or overseas institution as directed
- Other program fees (accommodations, meals, in-country transportation) may or may not be included in the overall program fee due to the third-party directly
- Airfare is typically not included
College: For Faculty-Led and REEP programs only. If Faculty-Led, this will indicate the college of the program leader. If exchange, this will indicate the college the students must be a part of to participate in the exchange program. If blank, this information is unknown or does not apply.
Provider/Leader: The name of the third-party affiliated program provider or faculty leader. If blank, this information is unknown or does not apply.
Region: The geographic region of the world in which the program takes place. Some programs have multiple Regions listed. This is either because the program takes place in more than one region (traveling) or the program takes place in a geographically ambiguous location (Turkey is sometimes considered to be part of the Middle East, but is somtimes considered to be part of Europe or Asia.
Country/Countries: If there is more than one country listed it is usually a traveling program that takes place in each country listed.
City/Cities: If there is more than one city listed it is usually a traveling program that takes place in each city listed.
Program Name: Used to differentiate between programs by the same provider that occur in the same city. If a university is listed, it is because that particular provider offers multiple programs at different universities in the area. This can also be used for the name of Faculty-Led programs where applicable.
Program Term: Indicates which term(s) programs are available. Please note that not all academic calendars align with UH or even US academic calendars (many "spring" programs in Japan and Germany start in March and go until late July). If "flexible", it usually means that it is an intensive language immersion program that lasts one month or it does not otherwise fit into other categories.
Program Year: This is typically only used for Faculty-Led programs to differentiate between years that each Faculty-Led program is offered. For Winter programs, use the calendar year that matches the Spring term that immediately follows it. For example, if a program happens over winter break in 2016-2017, consider that a Winter 2017 program. If a program happens over winter break in 2018-2019, consider that a Winter 2019 program.
Program Theme: A description of the academic component(s) available for the program. Some programs may have multiple listed.
- Courses
- Academic courses are offered and may be taken for credit in most cases.
- Language Immersion:
- Focuses primarily on language acquisition. Other non-language courses may be available. These programs may or may not take place on a college campus, will take place with mostly other students from the U.S., and classes are often taught by faculty from local institutions.
- Direct Enroll
- Programs where the student will be enrolled directly at an overseas institution and will take classes with local students.
- Internship
- The program is a stand-alone internship that usually has an academic course to go with it. Internships can often be taken for credit but may be available not for credit.

- Combines courses with a Service-Learning Opportunity.
- Research
- Provides opportunities for undergraduate students to assist with ongoing research projects around the world. Many research projects require a solid background in a particular field and/or a high GPA.
- Other/None
- The program does not fit into any of the above categories. Examples of other include attendance or presentations at an international conference, attendance at a film festival, etc.
Language(s) Available: Sometimes language courses are cumpulsory and other times language courses are optional. If a language is listed here, it means courses are either offered in that language or that courses exist to help you learn that language.
Discipline(s) Available: Many of these are extremely specific, however some are more general. If "English" is included, it does not necessarily mean the course is taught in English- it may be a literature or other related course). "Business General" and "Engineering General" are selected for programs that have any business or engineering courses, respectively.
Housing Type: Lists the option(s) for housing where applicable. Not all programs provide housing, and not all housing is included in the standard program price. Meals may or may not be included.

Research has consistently shown that schools with strong, inclusive policies for lesbian gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) youth create safer learning environments. Designing and implementing effective anti-bullying policies are obviously key to this effort, but, according to the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), most school districts have been falling short.
In the new report, Statehouse to Schoolhouse: Anti-Bullying Policy Efforts in U.S. States and School Districts, GLSEN examined anti-bulling policies in more than 13, 000 districts and found that the vast majority do not have policies that explicitly protect LGBT students.
"The report illustrates the gap that can emerge between the intentions of a law and the actual implementation – arguably the most critical component of the passage of any law," explains GLSEN Executive Director Dr. Eliza Byard. "There remain far too many school districts that have failed to institute policy protections, even in states which require them by law."

First post in seven days sums up seven days and 300 million people
It's been an interesting week, huh?
I haven't posted anything about it either.
Because I couldn't think of what exactly I wanted to say. But now I do.
Who's the blame about the VTech shooting has been a popular topic this week.
Is it…
…video games?
…gun laws?
…a lack of action on behalf of staff?
D.) None of the Above
How about we finally blame the person with the fucking gun?
Seriously, how can we jump to blame somebody who didn't pull the trigger?
Video Games: It turns out he didn't play them.
Gun laws: My uncle has an entire arsenal and he hasn't attempted a coup.
Staff: Do you know how many crazy people are on one campus? Can you expect everyone of them to go ballistic?
I don't know how this holds in other countries, but here in the US of A we like to blame the media when it doesn't raise our kiddies correctly. The television isn't a buggering babysitter!
Comics and video games don't raise your kids!
I take that back.
They raise your kids' weight! The porky little brats are easy to pick out, too! They are the ones you see at a store, on the ground, screaming "I WANT IT!"
Parents raise your kids. This means keeping them away from what you feel are bad influences not complaining that the influences are there!
Adults have the right to rot their brains on bad TV, comics and video games.
Book burning went out with the times. Some reason we still fight TV shows.
How about you stop taking the easy way out and blaming others for your child's misplaced morals. If you actually took the time to explain yours maybe they wouldn't look to the TV for `em.
I recall playing Doom at the age of 4 or 5 because my dad felt I was mature enough after a conversation about what is acceptable in games and what is acceptable in real life.
"He knows it's not real" was his response to anybody who disagreed with his decision.

The first time I cut was a few weeks ago. It realized that it was so fun and possibly addicting that I never did it again. I get urges all the time but I try to fight them off by distracting myself.

Re: First Time Cutting
When was the first time you cut yourself? I had just turned 12, if I'm remembering right.
What did it feel like the first time you cut yourself? This might sound really stupid but it hurt. It really fucking hurt. It hurt enough that I didn't have to think about all the things that made me want to self harm in the first place. It was like the perfect distraction. For a few minutes I wasn't thinking about the problems in my life, I was just focused on the pain.
What was going through your head at the time? "Ok, here we go, here we go. What if this doesn't work? What if I do this and nothing happens? What if nothing changes. Ok I'm just gonna do it.... Oh wow, oh fuck that hurts, oh my god that hurts so bad holy shit... Wow, that actually worked, i should do this again." and so began an addiction
that would take 2 year to curb.
I was just really thinking about all the problems I faced in my life, and how overwhelming and gigantic they felt.

Re: First Time Cutting
The first time I ever actually self harmed was probably in 6th grade. I was anxious about everything, my friends treated me horribly, and I had a bad day. I had heard of self-harm through the internet, that it was supposed to be bad, but it made you feel okay! So I grabbed a pencil and scratched myself a few times with it. It didn't make me feel like anything, and I forgot about it.
The first time I started and continued was probably in July of last year. I was feeling okay, I hadn't talked to my abusive friends in months, and I met someone I really liked (alterously, not romantically) who made me feel like I was actually cared about. He had his own demons, having tried to kill himself and he used to cut. On that day I had first noticed his scars, and when I asked, he had blown me off, and I realized what they were. Also, he was bisexual and HATED talking about it. It made sense, especially since he was bullied for his sexuality when he was younger, and was paranoid his mom was someone going to see the security footage and forbid him from going back. Anyway, I was in a HUGE pride phase, considering I'd started questioning if I was bisexual myself, and I'm still in the pride phase! (Not as intensely though.) I was making a pride flag out of beads and he came over and saw it. He was annoyed and muttered I was "naive" under his breath. I definitely over reacted, but I was just so on edge from constant social abuse that my nerves just exploded. I went into shock (Not medical shock, I was physically fine) and spent the next few hours laying around berating myself and thinking bad things about myself. Then I got up, found a few things, and scratched myself until it scabbed. It took a week to heal, and I was paranoid someone was going to know, but nobody knows about it, even now.
I started self harming on and off. Over the Summer I made a few big scars with a pencil. Only 3. It wasn't a daily thing, I'd do it every few weeks. Then, during school, I found a piece of glass. I used it on and off. Most of my scars are from two times; one I did about 5, the other I scratched myself about 8 times. Then, in November, my parents finally confronted me; turns out, they knew for months, but didn't know how to say anything. They made me give them my piece of glass, and I self-harmed one last time with another, but I pitched it 2 months ago.
Thing is, I didn't find it too hard to stop. I think only once I actually felt good, the other times just made me feel worse. I was in a state where I was absolutely exhausted, so I didn't do it most of the times I wanted to. I found it relieving to quit. Now? I have been about 5 months self-harm free, and it's been better since I quit.

I do it instead of compulsing (I have OCD) and when I'm angry. It makes me feel numb and that makes me feel better. Feeling numb is better than feeling OCD. I don't actually 'cut' I just scratch sharp object and draw on myself in pen, or pick at my skin until it leaves a mark. My first time (that sounds so stupid, likes it's a good thing) was the other day and I'm 15. I told my therapist a week later (yesterday) because of guilt from OCD. He forced me to tell my mum and turns out she'd already known and had thrown my glass away.

Re: First Time Cutting
Ive never cut, and Im pretty sure I never will. If theres anyone out there who does, why did you do it? Whyd you keep doing it? Is it addicting, like masturbating, but in a lot worse of a way? I just dont understand why, but Im trying to because I know people who do cut.

Kodaira dimension provides a very successful classification scheme for complex manifolds. The notion was extended to symplectic 4-manifolds. In this talk, we will define the Kodaira dimension for 3-manifolds through Thurston's eight geometries. This is compatible with other Kodaira dimensions in the sense of "additivity". This idea could be extended to dimension 4. Finally, we will see how it is sitting in a potential classification of 4-manifolds by exploring its relations with various Kodaira dimensions and other invariants like Gromov norm.

- By MERIDITH FORD GOLDMAN The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sit. Sip. Savor. This Valentine's Day, the love is in the cup.
Thought of getting your honey the proverbial box of chocolates? How mundane. Why not stir up some lovin' with a hot cup of cocoa? You know, that stuff your mom used to make to take the chill off your frozen nose?
Hot chocolate is, well, hot. Again. In our everything-old-is-new-again world, hot chocolate is the retro redo of the recession. For less than a box of Russell Stover's, you and your sweetheart can sip your way to romance.
But take heart, so to speak: There's a world of history in that cup of cocoa.
Europeans didn't come across silky-sweet nougats and chews straight from Willy Wonka when they discovered chocolate in the New World. What they discovered was hot chocolate — a drink considered so potent by the Aztecs that it was reserved for royalty and religious ceremonies. (Montezuma purportedly used it as an aphrodisiac and as, ahem, an old-world Viagra.)
The first people most likely to have cultivated the cacao tree were the Olmecs, from the Southern coast of Mexico, according to food writer Harold McGee. From there it spread to Mayan and Aztec cultures; the latter roasted the beans and ground them for use in hot chocolate. They made a paste of the roasted beans, then added spices and hot water.
Numerous accounts of the drinking of cacahuatl (the Nahuatl, or Aztec, word for hot chocolate) abound: foaming broths mixed with human blood, golden cups filled with froth and spices such as vanilla (another New World discovery), wild honey and red achiote.
The Spanish took the drink back to Spain, and for nearly 200 years did little to expand on it, other than add sugar, cinnamon, chiles, saffron and orange. By then they had adopted the Native American custom of making a paste of the roasted beans and cocoa butter, then drying it on leaves to make tablets. Native Americans used the tablets by adding hot water or atole (a kind of hot gunk made of maize) — the first cocoa mix, so to speak.
By the mid-1600s, hot chocolate had spread from Spain to France and England, where new, innovative "coffeehouses" were selling the drink to droves, especially when someone — and no one really knows who — decided to start making it with hot milk instead of water.
Can you imagine that first taste of hot, foaming froth? The first sip, so hot it almost burns your lips, passing the bittersweetness over your palate until it moves to your belly, where it warms and satisfies like no other drink on earth. No wonder the Aztec and Mayan cultures prized it so much.
Modern versions of hot chocolate stem directly from these early renditions, and coffeehouses from Starbucks to local spots such as the Chocolate Bar in Decatur serve it in style — from mint mocha madness to chile-laced chocolate chai. But it's basically two recipes from which all this derives: hot cocoa, made from cocoa powder, sugar, milk (or cream) and flavorings; or hot chocolate, made with ganache (a mixture of chocolate, hot cream and butter). The former smacks of memories in front of the fireplace, cup in hand, with marshmallows melting to make a hot foam. The latter is a rich indulgence perfect for adding spices such as vanilla, saffron and chiles.
About those marshmallows — they're even better when you make your own, and you'll be surprised how easy it is to whip them up, literally.
It might be too late to order those flowers. But a cup of hot chocolate is right on time.
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 15 minutes Serves: 4
In a medium saucepan on high heat, bring the milk to a boil. Make a slurry in a large bowl of the half-and-half, cocoa powder and granulated sugar, creating a paste until the mixture is lump-free. Remove the milk from the heat and pour into the paste slowly, whisking constantly. When combined completely, add the vanilla. Return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat to keep warm.

After losing the toss, State receives the ball and thunders down field. It takes the Wolfpack 3:50 to complete a nine-play, 80-yard drive to the end zone, completing the march on Russell Wilson's seven-yard toss to George Bryan. After Josh Czajkowski's kick it's 7-0.
State quickly shuts down the Hokies and starts another drive from its own 49. But after a punt Brandon Bishop intercepts the Hokies' Tyrod Taylor and returns to the Tech 2, where Russell Wilson shoots a bullet to Dean Haynes for another touchdown. Czajkowski's extra point makes it 14-0..
But things don't go the Wolfpack's way all afternoon, as the Hokies recover for a 41-30 win.
The Wollfpack adds a 37-yard field goal from Czajkowski to make it 17-0 early in the second half.
But two Tech possessions later, Taylor breaks off an awe-inspiring 71-yard rush to the State 11. Taylor's pass to Andre Smith completes the touchdown drive, and Chris Hazley boots the extra point.
The second half starts out great for the Hokies, as Tech's David Wilson returns the kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown. With the extra point no good, the score is 17-13.
State stretches its lead to 24-13 on Wilson's 34-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Williams, but the Hokies respond quickly as Darren Evans pushes through defenders for a 54-yard touchdown run. Danny Coale's two-point conversion closes it to 24-21.
State claws for yardage with bursts of bullet passes to Dean Haynes and Owen Spencer, setting up Czajkowski's 32-yard field goal with 4:51 left in the third.
But the Hokies keep the comeback mentality going, as Taylor dodges a myriad of State players to bring the ball to the Wolfpack 6. With a Taylor's toss to Smith for the touchdown and a Hazley kick for the extra point, Virginia Tech leads for the first time 28-27.
With 8:07 left and "We Will Rock You" thundering through the stadium, the crowd amps up the energy and volume. Haynes catches a bullet for a 23-yard gain and the crowd erupts. Haynes continues to trudge through the Hokie defense even with the Wolfpack picking up a 10-yard holding penalty. Czajkowski completes the six-play, 37-yard drive with a field goal for a 30-28 lead with 4:42 left.
But the Hokies show no quit, scoring on a 39-yard pass from Taylor to Jarrett Boykin with 1:27 left to take the lead before Taylor's two-point conversion run fails.
State gets one last chance, but Jayron Hosley intercepts a Wilson pass and returns it to the State 6. With hope lost, there is a mass exit of state fans as their dream of a perfect record is shattered. Darren Evans rushes for the touchdown from three yards out with 55 seconds left with Hazley's kick completing the scoring.
They said it…
Tech coach Frank Beamer: "It's a huge win against a very good football team. I've had a lot of proud moments as a head coach at Virginia Tech, but I don't know if I've ever been so proud of a football team. We kept battling and got it cranked up in the second half. I am so proud of this team and the coaches. We pulled it out."
State coach Tom O'Brien: "It was a tough afternoon. We played hard, but not smart. They finished the game better than we did. I think they played better tonight than they did in their last four games. The difference tonight was our quarterbacks. (Tyrod Taylor) was a true difference-maker in this game. We lacked the mental toughness (to win the game).
Spencer: "The loss is hard. There are good things and bad things in a loss and we just have to fix the bad things and rally for the good things. We have to learn from our mistakes and remember that we still have a very good offense. We kept ourselves off schedule with the penalties and we need to correct that."

Love Poems For Valentines Day
It is not surprising that few American poets have written about knighthood. Chivalry was a European phenomenon, and by the time that John Smith came to Jamestown this medieval institution had ceased to exist. Even Miguel Cervantes, whose Don Quixote gave tales of chivalry their literary coup de grace, was resting in his grave four years before the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock.
But the love poems for Valentines Day of passionup.com have indeed discovered one American poet who drew his imagery from this medieval institution. In My Lady by John Greenleaf Whittier the poet assures his love: Though I dont have a lance to joust in your honor, I would gladly die for you.
Not all these Valentines Day poems speak of dying. There are romantic messages of undying love and tender verses of kindly affection in the love poems for Valentines Day of passionup.com.

Patient FAQs
Who is GnomeDX?
Gnome Diagnostics is a CLIA-certified laboratory committed to advancing personalized medicine to help physicians customize patient care. The Gnome PGx Panels were developed based on research by leading scientists, certified physicians and pathologists to ensure the safest and most effective recommendations for prescribing medication and assessing cardiovascular risk.
What exactly does Gnome do?
Gnome Diagnostics provides personalized genetic testing services to clinicians. In particular, our test results allow clinicians to understand each patient's individual genetic profile, providing information on how well the patient can metabolize certain drugs. The GnomeDX report offers guidelines on how to deliver the optimal dose to each and every patient, maximizing efficiency and minimizing side effects.
What is personalized medicine?
The term "personalized medicine" is often described as providing "the right patient with the right drug at the right dose at the right time." More broadly, personalized medicine (also known as precision medicine) may be thought of as the tailoring of medical treatment to the individual characteristics, needs, and preferences of a patient during all stages of care - including prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
What are the benefits?
Individualized genetic data can be used to develop a personalized treatment plan for patients. These results enable the physician to develop a personalized plan for improving patient health. Tailoring specific drugs to individual patients decreases SADRs, improves therapeutic outcomes, and decreases cost to your patient.
Is my genetic information confidential?
Yes, only you and your doctor will see your results! Genetic discrimination is illegal under the GINA Act.
What is the GINA Act?
The GINA Act (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act) passed by congress in 2008 prohibits employers or insurance companies from using your genetic information to discriminate against you.
What is the process of getting tested?
You will need to buy a kit, or your doctor will need to request some for their office. Inside the kit is everything needed to complete the test. You need to have the inside of your cheek swabbed to collect your DNA sample. Your DNA sample will be sent back to us, free of charge, and we will process your sample. After 5-7 days your doctor will receive your report and they will discuss the results with you.
Where does your clinician get the test kits?
Depending on the location of the practice, the test kits can either be delivered personally by GnomeDX or shipped next day by FedEx.
Who administers the cheek swab?
The sample test kits contain simple instructions for collection. The patient, nurse or qualified staff may perform the test in the physician's office or the patient may be given instructions to come to our office in Powell, Ohio for collection.
Where do they get training?
GnomeDX will provide both a short demonstration and training materials.
Will the cheek swab hurt?
No, not at all. It's just rubbing a cotton swab on the inner part of your cheek.
How does your doctor return the kits?
A GnomeDX courier will be sent or the kit can be shipped using a simple pre-filled FedEx label.
How long does it take to get results back to my doctor?
Within 5-7 business days after sample receipt. You and your doctor should arrange when you will discuss the results.
What form do the results come in?
The results will be delivered via a HIPAA-compliant physician portal in an easy-to-read patient report to your doctor.
Who reads the results?
The physician can review and discuss the results, interpretations and implications with the you. Genetic counseling is available to your physician upon request.
Are the results easy for a doctor to read/understand?
Yes, the results and interpretations are written in a clear, easy to understand format.
How much is it going to cost to get the test kits?
The test kits will be delivered to your doctor at no cost.
How much will it cost me?
Please visit our billing page. If there are any questions please call our office at 614-431-6414.
What are the benefits to your physician's practice?
Tailoring specific drugs to individual patients decreases SADRs, improves therapeutic outcomes, and decreases cost to both your patients and your practice. Our test panel also evaluates inherited risk for cardiac disease, allowing you to better monitor and treat patients. These results enable you to develop a personalized plan for improving patient health.
How can the test results benefit your health?
Each person has their own unique combination of genetic variations. Gnome Diagnostics provides a test focused on determining the genetic variation status of an individual's drug metabolism genes and inherited risk of cardiac disease allowing clinicians to develop a personalized plan for health. The results from the Gnome PGx Panels can improve the overall health and outcome for patients, minimize risk and side effects from prescription drugs, and help reduce the overall cost of healthcare.
How much will your clinician need to do?
The sample is collected using a simple buccal swab collection kit. After explaining the benefits to the patient, a nurse or assistant may collect the cheek swab, allowing the doctor to continue with patient appointments.

Sushi in Palm Springs
Where is the best sushi restaurant in Palm Springs?
There are lot of outstanding Japanese restaurants in the Valley. Two I frequent are Kiyosaku in Palm Springs (1555 South Palm Canyon Drive / 760.327.6601). Their mixed sashimi served inside of a hollowed out grapefruit (mixed with the grapefruit's juice and cut fruit) is unique and refreshing. I also like No Da Te in Palm Desert (73-655 El Paseo / 760.340.3698). Pricey and worth it. Outstanding selection.
Hi Food Fans,
I have found that the Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar is the best in town... They have a very cool Sushi Bar, with an "All you Can Eat" in a 1 hour period...
You can find it at 1201 E. Palm Canyon Dr.,Palm Springs
Call: (760) 318-1622
Check it out...We eat there every time we are in town.

Labour members are urging the county council to install the energy generators on public buildings starting with Shire Hall in Gloucester.
Half the cost of the turbines would be met by the government's Low Carbon Buildings programme, the group said.
Coleford councillor Peter Chamberlain, said the move would demonstrate their commitment to the environment.
"Gloucestershire County Council needs to take its role seriously, and start making a difference," he said.
"The Government aims to increase renewable energy five-fold to 20% by 2020 and decentralise energy production and to do this everybody needs to play their part."

Bali is an island in Indonesia that attracted Walter Spies, a Russian born, German artist who settled in the colonial Dutch East Indies from 1923 on. Adored by the Balinese, Spies was the co-founder of the Pita Maha artists' cooperative, he shaped the development of contemporary Balinese art and established the West's image of Bali that still exists today.
As a young man, Walter Spies moved in high society; the avant garde culture of pre-war Moscow, then in Berlin and Dresden, Germany, to where he moved in 1918.
However, by 1923 he no longer felt at home with all the decadence of Europe. In his journal he wrote: ""I then decided to just go somewhere, anywhere, to a faraway land. And after going on a challenging and formidable journey as a sailor in a cargo vessel I arrived in Java, where I decided to jump ship!""
Arriving in Bali to live permanently in 1927 after a stint as court conductor for the Sultan of Yogyakarta's European orchestra, this Russian-born son of a German businessman-diplomat settled in Ubud as a painter, where with Tjokorda Agung Sukawati he eventually founded the Pita Maha Arts Society, the catalyst of modern art in Bali...
Spies's stay in Bali ended in 1939 when he was taken to court and jailed for homosexuality during a morality-driven witch hunt by the Dutch government. While imprisoned in Surabaya, he painted his best work, hailed as magical realism, depicting changes in feelings and subconscious attitudes: The Landscape and its Children. - - Walter Spies: The legacy of a banished demon by Kadek Krishna Adidharma, Contributor, Ubud
|Die Landschaft und ihre Kinder - The Landscape and its Children
One of my favorite artists, Walter Spies, lived in Bali. Here are two of his paintings in Paul Spies' house in Jakarta. The photograph below is in the Tropenmuseum collection. The Walter Spies painting is called In the Morning Light

Prelude: Letter from the Surabaya Jail
This excerpt from the Prelude opens "Imagining Gay Paradise" with the gay artist Walter Spies in jail in the Dutch East Indies, victim of a Nazi-inspired "morals scandal" that had used fears of a "triple taboo" against homosexuality, inter-racial relations, and cross-generational male friendships to politically undermine the Dutch government. Spies wondered about a world where all had to fit a single monumental template of nature dictated by tyrannical minds. He preferred to celebrate the magical realities of miniature queer patterns of life.
|Scherzo für Blechinstrumente / Scherzo for Brass Instruments (1939)
His Scherzo for Brass Instruments, reputedly painted in a half-trance state, contains many incarnations of the artist as he explores an inner landscape from various points of view.
In a letter to Carl Gotsch, Spies describes the process of painting Scherzo as a spiritual and sacred purification of the soul akin to rebirth: ""The funny thing is, I really feel as if this is my very first painting. I really feel as if I am beginning a new life.""
Dedicated to Leopold Stokowski, then the conductor of Chicago's Philharmonic Orchestra, Scherzo was shipped from Surabaya to America, but never reached its destination. Today's reproductions are from photographs taken by Spies in prison. - Walter Spies: The legacy of a banished demon by Kadek Krishna Adidharma, Contributor, Ubud

Walter Spies - a life in art by John Stowell
When he died 70 years ago, the artist Walter Spies was known to only a few close friends. Now he is prized as one of the finest painters of the tropical landscape. This was one of many gifts that he made available to the people of Bali in the years between 1927, when he first settled there, and 1940 when he was interned as an enemy alien. In the turmoil of war and the turbulence of the post-war years, his fate remained for a time unknown and his life and deeds in Bali gradually took on mythic proportions. He was remembered almost as a founding figure, one who had taken the arts of Bali to unprecedented heights. There was some truth in this hyperbole; he had indeed made a massive contribution to the reputation of the island as a centre of special artistic excellence during the 1930s. He was not alone in this endeavour. Together with the Dutch painter Rudolf Bonnet & Cokorda Gede Agung Sukawati he gave the initial impetus to the flowering of the visual arts in Ubud and district. His films & recordings brought his friends the Mexican painter Miguel Covarrubias & the Canadian composer Colin McPhee to Bali. The Covarrubias cultural guidebook, The Island of Bali, has accompanied generations of tourist visitors for the past seventy years, while McPhee joined Spies in stimulating growth of musical culture in the Regency of Gianyar and furthered it in the West with his own compositions. The reputation of Ubud as a hub of cultural tourism continues to the present day. Its status is accepted by the Indonesian Government for its contribution to the island economy. This 344-page book, which at 24x32cm (portrait), present a fully-documented biography in an 80,000-word text. It places the works & related documents in chronological order & supplies a catalogue of all the known works and an analytical index. The biography traces the remarkable life of an exceptional individual whose career touched at many points the challenging issues of the first half of the 20th century.
At the agung rai online gallery there are examples of paintings that were influenced by Walter Spies. One of my very favorite contemporary Balinese painting styles is called Pengosekan, from the village in Bali. the images are full of green leaves, birds, creatures, in a lush complexity.
In Penestanan village there is a painting style known as Young Artist, initiated by Arie Smit, a Dutch artist who lives in Bali. Young Artist painters use unusual colors such as red for the sea, blue for human skin, yellow for the sky, etc.
There is the Batuan style, from the village of Batuan, which generally has intricately detail and a darker look.
Here are some examples of the Pengosekan style.

The All-on-4 solution is designed for patients who have limited amount of bone and/or a limited budget. All-on-4 is an alternative dental implant solution that maximizes the use of available bone for immediate use using just four implants! The All-on-4 technique has a 98.5% success rate at the four-year follow-up and has been provided to patients for over ten years.
All-on-4 Implant Technique
The All-on-4 technique is specifically designed to use only four implants that are available for immediate function. All-on-4 implants do not typically require bone grafting, so they are an ideal solution for patients with areas of low bone density or volume.
Before the procedure begins, you will be comfortably numbed so that you will feel no pain or discomfort during the procedure. Four dental implants are then placed according to where the bone volume is best. Once the implants have been placed, the new or existing denture is used as the framework for a temporary set of teeth that will be attached that day.
Once the bone has fully integrated with the implant (3-4 months), the temporary teeth are removed and the new, final set of teeth are made and anchored into place permanently.
Benefits of All-on-4
There are many benefits to the All-on-4 technique, including:

With the summer wedding season approaching, many thousands of couples are busy ironing out last-minute details with their caterers, ministers, musicians and out-of-town guests.
But as hectic as things can get in the weeks before a wedding, couples should try to squeeze some time into their schedules to have a heart-to-heart talk about financial matters. As uncomfortable as the prospect might seem, discussing money concerns before the nuptials could head off some thornier problems later. There are some issues that need to be resolved beforehand, such as ensuring the financial security of children from a prior marriage.
Few people actually need to go so far as to bring in lawyers and have a prenuptial agreement drawn up to outline who would get what should the marriage end, whether by divorce or death.
Most young couples don't bring much in the way of assets to a marriage. So if there's nothing much to protect, negotiating a prenuptial agreement only serves to start the marriage on a sour note.
But you don't have to be a tycoon - or an heir to one - to be a candidate for a prenuptial agreement. Individuals with children from a former marriage should seriously consider a premarital contract. So should individuals who are being counted on by an aging parent to provide financial support. Without a prenuptial pact, income or assets that you planned to share with those family members could end up being split with a spouse in a divorce settlement.
Business owners may also need a prenuptial pact to ensure the survival of their business. If you don't have a premarital agreement and your assets are tied up in the business, you could be forced to sell or liquidate your business in order to meet a divorce settlement.

variations on a theme
To write, one must imagine.
Fakir is wrestling with imagination and temptation. He knows what he has to do - release the Prince, write a happy ending, make it all work out. Avoid a tragedy.
Temptation is hovering at his shoulder. Temptation is pointing out that he can give the Prince all the happy endings anyone could possibly ask for. The Prince's faithful knight will always be with him, always ready to serve him -
"Your highness," Fakir says, going to his knees in front of Mytho and taking Mytho's hand between his own - he would speak, but as he looks up at the Prince he is lost for words, and he feels an unaccustomed tightness -
Is it wrong if he only writes it about himself? Would it be wrong if it made Mytho happy?
Mytho smiles with true, genuine release and acceptance as the weight of so many years is lifted off his shoulders, and finally he can be at ease, finally he can accept the love of someone who loves him -
He could write anything at all, if only it would make Mytho happy.
"On your knees," Mytho commands. "Prove that you are still my faithful knight -"
No. That one's wrong. The tone's off. So what would Mytho say?
"I have no words for this." Mytho's voice is ragged. "Let my mouth instead -"
No, not right.
"Let me instead use my mouth -"
No, not that either.
Mytho said nothing, but his mouth spoke whole volumes in silence as he pressed hot kisses against Fakir's pale
against Fakir's trembling
Would he?
against Fakir's stoic
Oh come now.
against Fakir's muscled shoulder
He prods it absently, then presses his quill pen against his lips, trying to imagine it.
against Fakir's starving lips, and Fakir devours him as a hungry man would a feast, as a desperate man would seize on his hope of salvation
Yes, that's the flow of it.
and Mytho smiles, finally safe in the arms of the one who loves him most. The evening sun falls in warm light across their naked bodies
It's dark outside now. How would it look? Would they be under a tree, so that thepatterns of light and shade fell across their bodies and trembled with the leaves in each passing wind? Or down by the lake, in the long grass, listening to the sound of the birds?
There's Duck. This isn't fair to her.
He could write her in, of course. Give her a nice little bit part, a brief moment that she can treasure happily for the rest of her life, but of course she'll realise that the Prince isn't really for her, that he loves another person, and she'll be happy with that, because of course she cares about him so she'll want the best for him. He'll write her a happy ending too. Someone who loves her, and she'll love him back.
He's much better than Drosselmeyer, he'll give everyone happy endings . . .
Slowly and with dawning horror Fakir stares at his pen, at his hands.
"We complete each other," the Prince murmured into his knight's naked shoulder. "Together we will be heroes. I'll never leave you, Fakir, I love you -"
Happy stories all have to end, Drosselmeyer's voice whispers in the tick of the clock, in the silence of the room. Write as many as you want, boy. I'll still be waiting here when you come back, and I'd never ask you to take out the love. The love is the best part! Love is what makes us write the stories in the first place, because we can't bear to let the characters go . . .
The pen snaps in Fakir's hand.
He picks up a new one, focusing on clarity, on determination, on a happy ending for the Prince.
Temptation whispers in his ear.
"Fakir," the Prince says, coming up behind him, resting his hands on Fakir's shoulders. "Fakir, you work too hard. Come to bed with me. I'm tired, Fakir. Hold me for a little while so I can sleep in peace."
Just for a little while.
"Fakir, I need you."
The Prince's hands would be elegant and fine, with callouses from swordplay and short nails. He would turn his head to see them resting on his shoulders, and he would look up to see Mytho's face.
And he knows just how Mytho's voice would sound.
A happy ending, he thinks, and it circles in his mind like ravens.
