I'm a terrible patient. Really, I am.
I always have these grand visions of myself in a wheelchair, snuggled sadly into the couch insisting that my husband minister to my bedsores every single hour. Maybe I could even start moaning while I breathe, just for effect. If I were a good patient, I'd never for a moment allow anyone to forget that I was sick or hurt or whatever, and dominate any and all conversations with lengthy descriptions of my bowel movements and sputum.
It would be AWESOME.
But no, here I sit on the couch where I am supposed to be "resting" and bored out of my mind. I don't sit around quietly well, never have, and I prefer to buzz around the house like a chubby bumblebee taking care of all the wonderful things my family leaves just for me! They're thoughtful like that.
Normally my cure for boredom is a drink and some online shopping (if I'm stuck in the house) but I don't even have anything to look for. So I'm stuck sitting here, my foot looking hugely pregnant and kind of scary and trying to forget that I am pregnant, too. Not with (I hope) a Foot Baby.
I've managed pretty well to ignore being pregnant because if I think about it I worry, and the last thing I need is to worry myself in circles. Worrying is useless. Kind of like sitting around like a slug. Useless.
So Internet, oh sweet Internet, what the hell should I do while I heal?

Oh, that's too easy.
I'd say catch up on NCLM.
Feel better soon!
I know what you mean about not sitting still – I don't just sit around well either. I don't have any great suggestions – shop online for things you don't need, read blogs…lots of blogs…I don't know – but I wish you a speedy recovery!
Surely you could online shop for accessories — they are ALWAYS the right size. I'm seeing some Coach, maybe some Burberry. You see why a foot injury would be the death of me, right?
Take up stamp collecting.
Stalk the guy who stalked you
Look up all your worst enemies on facebook. Bonus points if you leave rude messages on their wall.
Get a job selling ice to eskimo's. Or Vinyl siding.
Take up knitting garments for barbie dolls.
Whittle your own life time supply of toothpicks.
Solve the problem of wold peace.
Develop a new programming language in base 7.
Become a world class spammer.
Start farming the worms that they put in the tequila bottle.
That should be enough to get you started?
If you're like me, you have tons of photos packed away anywhere you can shove them, so start putting them in albums. Now, I'm not talking scrapbooking. That's a lot of money and pressure to be creative, just plain old photo albums. You'll be glad you did.
If you are super organized and have already done that, then blog, paint your fingernails and toenails on your giant foot and sleep. You now have an excuse to sleep, so take it!
Rent the whole series of Weeds and watch it and then watch all of Sex and the C*ty and then maybe tackle the whole of Fri8nds?? If you have to be sitting you may as well have something good to watch….of course if those don't do it for you, you could always go for a porn marathon:)
I hope the foot preggo disappears soon and the other one continues to grow.
If you get really bored I'll be up late doing a video montage for one of the wee ones classes, feel free to text me, I'll need help staying up!
"Foot Baby."
Macrame a couch cozy.
Crochet a new car.
Knit socks for a squid.
Paint the faces of the saints on apple seeds.
Drill holes in your toenail clippings and make scale-mail out of them.
Sign everyone you can't stand up for mailing lists counter to their preferences or mores – place Democrats on the Republican mailing list and vice versa, order porn catalogs for prudes, and sign people up for expensive magazine subscriptions with the "bill me later" option.
Start acting out a long, tedious, pointless play using couch cushions as locations and bits of lint for characters – bonus points if you can make every character have a funny voice AND remember which character is which.
Make up new words and start inserting them into your vocabulary without explaining them to anyone. See who catches on fastest.
Hurry the heck up and heal.
Shade and Sweetwater,
Wow, you have such funny readers!
I am really not all that imaginative. I could give you digital storybooking lessons if you like, but that is all I got.
I hope you are better soon.
make up songs and sing them to the animals..that's what I do. sometimes, they don't run away.
I can tell you what many do when bored, and let me tell you, after the fifth time that day, it's still fun. Trust me here.
Perhaps you need a good book or two to read? That's what occupied my time during 4 weeks of bed rest in my last pregnancy… books and pointless daytime tv… oh yeah, those were the days.
Heal up soon my love!
Find some prison pen pals. They are probably bored too.
I hope you feel better today. Hey, it's Sunday; you should get the NY Times, or a local paper. Let the news depress you and then read the comics to cheer you up!
arrange your favorite's list on your browser.
Your POOR ankle! I HATE that bored feeling. I just hate sitting here with nothing to do. I love having something to hunt for online.
I think one thing you can do is to find some stuff to sell on ebay. Tracking it can take up some time. Other than that, have someone bring you a great book. I just read one that I couldn't put down and I will gladly send it if you want. E-mail me with your address. It's used of course, so some of the pages are all bendy from me trying to get through a book while I have two toddlers and a time demanding DH. So, like every other page has been folded. 🙂
I have no idea what you should do. I tend to read anything I can get my hands on (books, blogs, shampoo bottles) when I'm bored, but reading can become pretty boring sometimes, too.
Mainly, I wanted to comment to let you know that you can NOT be that image of the perfect pt that you described cuzz you are not yet of the OLD persuassion. (And I probably spelled that wrong) When you're geriatric THEN you can be that perfect pt and you will have a captive audience to listen to the tales of your poo. Or maybe just a tired nurses aide. 🙂
Books & movies, movies & books.
Quite often life purposely makes us slow down just at the moment it needs to happen. Sit, sit, sit. Make phone calls. Eat.
It's too frigging hot outside, anyway.
Sit, Becky, sit.
I always fantasize about "having" to rest for some reason and then when it happens I just sit there and daydream about all the stuff I could be doing.
So, er, I got no suggestions. Except renting the all the complete seasons of Friday Night Lights and Rescue Me.
Should you give birth to a foot baby, I want to see pictures.
Hope you are hobbling about soon.
Oh sure, you know the best ways to comment whore – fall down some steps. Ack!!
Why not take advantage of doing NOTHING while you heal except boss everyone around.
Actually, I take advantage of my vegetative state by scanning pictures into my computer. Tedious, but has to be done.
Do you do soccer? Wanna try? Euro-cup, Group of death is on right now as I type on ESPN. Nice looking guys with great legs kicking a ball around. Try it.
Thank God for the internet!?! How did people survive boredom or even life for that matter before it?
I was all "you could…." and "you could…." And everything I came up with are things that I do sitting down for the most part but that also require some moving around – which sucks.
I uh…discovered this weekend that my son's scrapbook had less than a month's worth of pictures in it. So I uploaded a bazillion pictures and had them printed and kind of half ass put them in the scrapbook. So that's something to do, you know if you're an equally forgetful mother who ignored the pictures you have taken since the birth of your child.

"The DCC training provides me with knowledge and the credential provides me credibility."
—Yulia Watters, Ph.D., DCC
The Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC) credential identifies those professional counselors who are uniquely trained in best practices for delivering traditional counseling through technological means. DCCs have met nationally established distance counseling criteria and adhere to the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) Code of Ethics and Policy Regarding the Provision of Distance Professional Services.
Distance counseling is a counseling approach that takes the best practices of traditional counseling as well as some of its own unique advantages and adapts them for delivery to clients via electronic means in order to maximize the use of technology-assisted counseling techniques. The technology-assisted methods may include telecounseling (telephone), secure e-mail communication, chat, videoconferencing or stand-alone software programs.
There are many differences between distance and traditional counseling. Distance counseling may be more convenient for clients. While telecounseling takes place in real time and does depend on "making an appointment," traveling and related formalities do not present obstacles. Asynchronous counseling communications via secure e-mail adds even greater flexibility. On the other hand, telecounseling and various forms of e-mail or synchronous chat techniques demand special counseling and communication skills from the counselor, and in certain ways, from the client as well. In its own way, distance counseling may also present its own special advantages beyond the replication of best practices from face-to-face counseling. For example, some clients prefer the anonymity of a distance counseling relationship and are more free to open up and self-disclose than they would be in a traditional counseling setting. We are also finding that the power of the written word in distance counseling provides a profound impact on both the counselor and the client.
Distance counseling methods can be used as part of your counseling practice. They can help you reach a greater number of clients who need help. There will be times when your clients cannot see you face-to-face, and therefore you will need to help them using distance counseling methods. We now know that certain clients actually seek distance counseling services for both practical/logistical and personal preference reasons. Questions regarding the DCC credential should be directed to CCE at +1.336.482.2856 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Vector Sunburst - Photoshop Tutorial
Learn how to make a resizable sunburst that can be saved as a custom shape in this Photoshop tutorial. A versatile and easy technique.
Topics covered: shape layers, custom shapes, free transform tool.
- Create a new document, 500x500px
- Select the custom shape tool with the "Flower 5" shape. Make sure 'Shape layers' is selected as shown:
- Create a shape by clicking and dragging from the top left corner of your image to the bottom right corner
- Select Free Transform from the top menu. Grab one of the corner handles that appears, hold down shift and alt and drag the handle out so the shape is about twice the size it was (holding shift will keep the shape's proportions the same, while alt will resize the shape from it's center)
- Select the 'Direct select' tool from the tools palette. Click and drag with this tool to make a square roughly the size of the square below - this will select the inner points of the "flower". Now go to 'Edit > Free transform points', then grab a corner handle and drag it to the center of the image (hold down shift and alt again while dragging).
Now all the points you selected should be in the center, and your image should look like this
- Using the 'crop tool', click and drag a rectangle to select the top half of the image and hit enter to cut the image in half. And our sunburst is complete.
- Save your sunburst shape for future use by going to 'Edit > Define custom shape' Give your shape a name like "sunburst" and now it will be a custom shape that you can use in any image. So next time you need a sunburst, all you have to do is use the custom shape tool, select the "sunburst" shape, and drop it in to your images.

its so hard
its so hard
How to do it
It's simple. Just do how it's described and don't look to the examples! The 4 picture looks different by me.
i found out the problem with
i found out the problem with step 5.
"Click and drag with this tool to make a square roughly the size of the square below" the wording here is just poor. Use the Direct Selection Tool (A) [Sub of path selection tool mouse arrow on palette]. Only make the square as big as your white picture to highlight the inner points. Don't make select the outer points of the flower too. Problem solved wooo.
the cropping won't work
It is impossible to get it cropped. I mean, the outerpart of the flower remains. So when I save it as a custom shape, it is NOT a sunburst, but the whole thing. I must be doing something terribly wrong, I know. But I tried everything. Googled for hours to find how to go about it, so now I return and ask for your help. THANKS for listening and helping me out
Thanks for your tute. Very useful and well made.
Finding shape
Okay - I was able to follow your steps and complet the sunburst, however - how do I find it when I'm ready to use it?
Can you give step by step directions - I am choosing custom shapes, but I dont' see it.
Thanks alot, very useful
Thanks alot, very useful
Step 5?
Where is the direct select tool? thanks =]
(oh and email me if you have the answer. thanks =])
how to pass step five
1. make the flower the size of your box 500x500
2. make the flower x2 the size of your box via the instructions
3. when you get to step 5, make sure the direct selection you make is smaller than the size of the entire flower
4. you should be good.

Explain it to me please!
Thank you!
Excellent! This helped me very much.
Thanks, this really helped. It was a good tutorial and simple to follow i spent less then 10 minutes learning this and im very satisfied with the result. Once again, thanks alot :D
Never knew how to do this!
Thanks soo much for sharing!!! I always drew them as seperate vectors - this is way betta
When you do the part with
When you do the part with the Direct Selection tool, I had a problem too, but I realized that to see the corners, you need to zoom out. I did that and then you are able to select the corners. Hope this helps anyone who is ripping their hair out trying to figure it out :)
Problem With Step 5
I find that your instructions are a little confusing for this step (5) and I believe that is what is causing people some problems. I think people might be trying to grab a corner of the flower instead of grabbing a corner of the free transform box that surrounds the entire flower after selecting 'Edit > Free transform points'. Saying to "grab a corner handle" is confusing considering the many corners and handles there are.
Other than that, good tutorial.
Great Tutorial!
Wow, you just saved me ALOT of time. I used to make this manually with the pen tool. This is sooo much easier! Thank you for sharing!
Hey! Thanks a million! I
Thanks a million! I thought I was missing out something somewhere.
Excellent tutorial!
Doesn't work...?!
cant get direct points
Hi, great tutorial.
Quick question though.. I cant get past step 5. I've got the direct selection tool, created a rectangular shape inside..but no points appear at all.
Moving points to the centre
I'm new to photoshop and would like to use it more but i can't seem to get the points to the centre. I can get it to look like number 5 but when i go to drag the points to the centre the whole flower drags across and makes it out of shape. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? It's doing my brain in!!! Any help appreciated
Thank you :-)
This is a clever, fast and very helpful trick for getting vector sun-beams. Thanks so much for sharing!
This should work in Illustrator as well
Some of the mac users may find that on step 5 you need to hold down (shift + option & drag) to gain this effect correctly. That should fix most of the issues above. Thanks.
This should work in Illustrator as well, with a few miner changes!!!
When I try to save the shape
When I try to save the shape I don't get a sunburst I just get a different flower. How do I fix this?
Try pressin Ctrl, T
Try pressin Ctrl, T
I've got a problem
When i attempted to do this on my Photoshop (7), I got to the 'Free transform points' bit, but i couldnt find this is my menu. The closest to it was 'Free transform Path'. Is this because i have an earlier version?
Very clever way to do this

I was in Oregon this weekend for a wedding and I had a great time. While passing through Vancouver, even though the city was sort of weirding me out, I actually felt good for the first time about moving back there. It must have been the sun. But today, when I returned to cold and rainy Whitehorse, the pang of sadness about my departure somehow seemed sharper. In what might be a continuing series, this is post #2 on things I will miss about living in Whitehorse.
I will miss my garden. More accurately, I will miss the garden that Ben planted and cared for. The cool, cloudy summer hasn't done the vegetables any favours, but I still love pulling carrots from the garden and tomatoes from the greenhouse.
However, the rain seems to have been exceptionally good for the Saskatoon berries. Last year we didn't get a single berry from the bushes in the yard. This year, and just this past week or so, LOTS of the beautiful purple berries have come out. They're delicious!
And it seems that not only do I, the human, think these berries are tasty, but so too does my canine companion, Mingus. Last year I watched him snuffle out cranberries when Sierra and I went berry picking, but tonight was over the top. He approaches the bush and strips it of its fruit. If he needs to, he lifts a paw to bat the branch down and then licks it clean. I'm totally not happy with the loss of my fruit, but I'm awfully impressed with the skill and high cute factor of my dog. Observe:

How long do spices really last?
Dilemma: When I find an old jar of spice at the back of a cupboard, I still use it. Am I losing out on flavour?
Matthew: It's best to buy spices whole and grind them yourself, because you never know how old the ground ones really are. Whole spices can last a year in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and will keep even better in the dark (extremely strong spices such as whole cinnamon, cloves and pepper may last longer).
You can tell that whole spices are too old when they lose their aroma. Spices don't keep well in extreme heat or cold, so don't store above the stove or in the freezer. And always use clean, dry measuring implements when dipping into containers of spices.
Ground spices have a shelf-life of between two and three months. They should also be stored in a cool, dry place in airtight containers. To determine whether ground spices are still usable, gently shake the container and smell - if you get a solid hit of spice, it's OK. That said, if you have a ground spice that has lost its magic, you can use more of it in a recipe, or toast it to refresh the flavour (pop it into a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, tossing periodically, and use at once). But, you'd be better off buying a new supply.
Reach for the peas
Dilemma: What are your thoughts on pork pies? This great British food has been unfairly kicked by the health police in recent years and is dying a death. We should start a campaign to resurrect and celebrate it.
Matthew: My thoughts on pork pies are many and legion. Happiness is pork pie-shaped, in my book. Sadly, it is not easy to lay your hands on a great one. The last time I ate a pork pie of note, it came from Charlie Hill Butcher & Pie Maker, of Bailey Hill, Castle Cary, Somerset (01963 350260): it was sweetly meaty and potently porky, with A-plus pastry, glistening like an amber castle. Even so, it wasn't quite up there with the truly magnificent pies at the Hand & Flowers restaurant in Marlow, which are the best I've had for years.
There is such a thing as the Pork Pie Appreciation Society, which meets every Saturday at the Old Bridge Inn in Ripponden, West Yorkshire, to taste pies. Its website, porkpieclub.com, has a list of what its judges call "Master Pie Makers". Do any readers have other recommendations? And, almost as important, suggestions of what to eat with your pie?
What can I do with a myrtle?
Dilemma: What culinary uses can I put my myrtle bush to?
Matthew: "As it fell upon a day/In the merry month of May,/Sitting in a pleasant shade/Which a grove of myrtles made" - that's what Richard Barnfield wrote in the early 17th century. Ah, but which myrtle? There are any number of varieties, but the most common one used for cooking is lemon myrtle. You can use it to flavour virtually anything you'd like to have an added citrus flavour, from soups to puddings to roasts. Use the leaves as you would any herb. Add the buds and flowers to salads. Toss the odd branch on the barbie to flavour meat or fish. Myrtle tea used to be prescribed for chest infections.
Don't be a flake
Dilemma: Why does my pastry on boeuf en croûte fall to pieces when cut? I use Delia's quick flaky pastry, by the way.
Matthew: Far be it from me to comment on or correct the divine Delia, but flaky pastry will always have a tendency to fall apart when put to the knife. There should be a way to solve the shattering-flaky-pastry problem, though. You could start by taking another leaf out of the Delia book, and cheat a bit by buying ready-made puff pastry - there are a number of good ones available, but make sure you choose one made with butter, not vegetable oil. And egg-wash the outside of the pastry generously before you bung the Wellington in the oven. And use an ultra-sharp knife when you come to cut it - I find that one with a scalloped edge helps (a serrated edge will lead to disaster).

Unbeknownst to me, someone took the bag out of my Kenmore Progressive vacuum and failed to replace it. I have been vacuuming without a bag for months, and today the vacuum stopped sucking. When I opened up the front to replace the bag, tons of dirt and dust came pouring out. I thoroughly cleaned the vacuum, put in a new bag, but still no sucking power. Just dust coming from the rear vents where one of the filters is. Is the vacuum ruined, or is it a simple solution of buying a new filter?

Hampshire Logs Career Best at Washougal
Washougal, Washington (July 29, 2017) – Since returning to action on his GEICO Honda at the High Point National in June, RJ Hampshire has shown big gains in speed and the ability to mix it up at the front of the pack. He hasn't been able to fully put it together in the results column until now, though, as he logged a career-best at the Washougal National, leading laps in the second moto and ultimately finishing the race in second. In the tight 250 class of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, his 6-2 scores for the day netted him fifth overall.
"Washougal has been one of those tracks I struggled at. We turned it around yesterday," said Hampshire. "Missed my shift first moto out of the gate and was way back. Had a pretty solid moto and came up to sixth but knew I could run up there with a start. Got out of the gate good that second moto right behind Joey Savatgy. The opening laps I found really good lines and knew I could make the pass but at one point I thought about waiting a little later so he didn't have enough time to pick up on my lines, but that would have been risky and I'm not going fast enough to make that type of call. So I made the pass to the lead and was feeling good but I knew he was all over me. Once he got me back, I think around 22 minutes in, I still felt good, we were right there. Fell just short of a moto win and an overall win! It's been a bumpy road since my head injury, but I'm thankful to be able to show what I can do again and be battling in the front!"
Rookie Chase Sexton was also happy with his speed, but mistakes left him with 13-12 scores ane 13th overall.
"Washougal in the books! Track was actually really fun and is one of my favorites so far," said Sexton. "Qualifying went pretty good ended up and ninth. First moto was running inside the top 10 and tried to make a pass on McElrath and stalled it so I went back to 15th or so and made a few passes, ended up 13th. Second moto was in the top 10 once again and made a dumb move and hit a hay bale and fell over. Was dead last almost after that and came back to 12th. Overall my speed was the best it had been so far, just have to limit the mistakes and fix the starts. But that is why they call us rookies! Learning every weekend and ready for the last three nationals!"
As for Jeremy Martin, it was a forgettable day. He moved into second in the 250 standings but was not happy with his 9-6 scores and seventh overall.
"I don't know what to say," said Martin. "Another frustrating day but we'll keep working.
The pro team takes a weekend off before resuming action at Unadilla in New York.

We enter the room to find Patti and George conversing with Cyn on the couch while Paul and John were quietly mumbling to each other in the corner. Pam and my presence draw the attention of Patti, George, and Cyn.
To my dismay neither Paul nor John bother to look up. Pam catches the unhappiness in my eyes but ignores it and smiles as we join the trio.
Patti grins. "Tonight we were considering going out for dinner. Originally, I had thought I'd make it, but I opted for deserts instead. What would you say to Indian?"
I beam. "Sounds wonderful! I absolutely love Indian food. It's one of my favorites. Aside from Chinese, Mexican, and plain old pizza, hamburgers and fries!"
"I'm sorry burgers and fries aren't readily available in England," Cyn chimes in.
"Well I happen to like fish 'n' chips myself but it's good to see Indian have such a positive effect. We weren't certain whether you would be up for it or not," George says. Did the turtle soup fiasco leave me with that bad a first impression? Why couldn't you just keep your mouth shut? Or digestive system, rather.
"I guess it's settled then. I'll call for a reservation." Patti gets up to reach the phone.
"As if you need it," I laugh.
George smiles. "I must admit it wouldn't be hard for us to be easily welcomed into any restaurant but we want to make sure to get a secluded table where we're less likely to be spotted. It's a new place, after all."
A few minutes pass and Patti returns. "All set, let's go."
John and Paul join the crowd as we make our way to the cars. Pam and I offer our car to any overflow from the Harrison's, and Paul accepts, but I believe it's only because he's not part of a couple and it would seem impolite for him to try and separate John and Cyn just as not to join us.
I watch as he greets us with his autopilot McCartney, smiling, and charming, ready for the press. Pam hands me the car keys. She offering me an escape route and although I'm not extraordinarily familiar with the roads and it's pitch black outside there's no way I'm passing it up.
I immediately accept them and sit in the driver seat, Pam to my left, and Paul in the back. We make small talk as I start up the ignition and wait to follow the Harrison's lead. Luckily, George is good at leading caravans and even waits when we are separated by a red light. Not to mention, the restaurant is nearby and isn't a difficult destination to find.
We park and enter. Paul makes no movement towards me, not even to hold the restaurant door. Instead, he catches up with John and enters after us. We are quickly brought to a dimly lit corner. Sitar music fills the room and the pungent smell of curry tickles my nose.
I take particular note to the circular seating arrangement. Cyn starts the circle and to her right are seated Patti and George. Pam takes a seat away from George and I sit next to her. That leaves two empty seats for Paul and John, one next to me and one next to George. Both Paul and John give the table a cursory glance. Despite the fact Paul is standing closer to me, he takes the seat next to George and John is seated beside me.
I fix my napkin and place it on my lap in hopes of not showing my hurt. Patti seems to notice Paul's estranged placement and looks over to Pam who subtly shakes her head.
In the noise of the commotion, John whispers in my ear. "I'm sorry, luv."
I ignore him as I pick up my menu and look for something appealing.
Patti says, "You know George and I have been considering ordering whatever sounds interesting and just placing it all on the table to try."
"Yea, so feel free to just tell us what you think looks good and we'll add it to the list," George adds.
I grin. That money has to go somewhere; food seems a rather good choice. I notice Pam watching as Paul talks casually to George. I suppose she's being my eyes, trying to sniff something out.
Hmm…Vegetarian Appetizers…Tandori Chicken…Lamb Tikka Masala…
John places his head over my shoulder. "I'm putting my bet on the Rose ice cream."
"But that's dessert," I say.
"All the better," he smiles.
"How about starting with the Vegetarian Appetizers first?"
"Hmm, sounds interesting enough." He pauses then adds with a strange tinge of cynicism, "You know, I do believe the Maccalovi Speciality is not as sour to the taste as you think."
"What? Where's that?"
"The Maccalovi Speciality—made of chicken and vegetables…" he looks up from my menu and over my right shoulder. "It's between Pam-fried Tandori Lamb and Harrisicken."
I spend a confused moment staring at him, trying to understand what he is saying, knowing at this point, he's not talking about Indian food. I look over my shoulder to notice a certain "Macca" between the "Pam-fried Tandori Lamb" and "Harrisicken."
I look back at the menu to continue his role-play. "Not as sour? Have you tried it before?"
John ponders a moment, "Hmm, I might have tried it less than an hour ago, when you were in the kitchen. It appears to have more of a surprising flavor…as if the unfamiliar taste is the result of an unfriendly spice."
I absurdity of the discussion makes me laugh. "Unfriendly spice?"
"Yes, an unfriendly spice, one that tenderized the poor chicken to hurt." I look into John's eyes. Despite the folly in what he saying, his eyes reveal complete sincerity. "Chickens such as these aren't used to such spices."
"So do you think it's that difficult for a sorry spice to add happier flavor to the chicken?" John smirks and raises an eyebrow. I hit his arm, giggling. "Not like that!"
Our conversation is interrupted by a smiling waiter. "Everyone ready to order?"
George nods, "Feel free to pick whatever you want."
Everyone around the circle mentions something and it's my turn to order. I can barely contain my laughter as I express my selection: "Chicken appetizer, please."
John nudges me and I glare at him with laughter in my eyes. The waiter scribbles down his notes, nods, and walks away.
I turn to see Pam and Paul talking. Jealousy fills my heart. Paul's laughing…and smiling! Could it be? "Pam—the female version of John—Paul's new romance"? She would never do that to me no matter how attracted to him she may become. But that wouldn't stop him from falling head over heels for her. Especially since her personality mirrors his best friend John's in so many ways.
John tugs my left arm, whispering, "You're staring."
I burn a blazon scarlet and immediately turn to him. "Obviously?"
"Possibility if I hadn't saved you."
"Thanks…I didn't realize."
"You shouldn't be that insecure over some measly food!"
I laugh. "But it's a delicious dish that has just been placed with an appetizing side-dish!"
"And what makes you so sure it cares as much for that side-dish?"
I grin. "Because it's food."
John rolls his eyes. "There you go again, beatin' me at me own game."
The food is delivered soon and I marvel at the incredible number of appetizers ordered. The warm smell of the new dishes floats towards me and I inhale. I can taste the curry and smile. How will I ever have room for the main meal? Everyone takes a bit of everything.
The meal is spectacular. Each course is increasingly better than the first, despite how wonderful the original was. We finish off with desert. I take particular liking to the Rose ice cream.
"Told you," John says.
"You were right, it's great."
Time speeds by and soon enough the party is exiting to the cars. Pam and I thank Patti and George for the fabulous night. I catch up briefly to John right before meeting with Pam at the car.
"Seriously John, do you think I'll have difficulty getting the chicken to be a bit more appealing to my pallet?"
"You don't have much to worry about. Keep being yourself and the dish won't even need an aphrodisiac."
I laugh. "Alright, alright. Thanks for the advice."
"Better hurry luv, the chicken and side-dish are beginning to get cold in the Volkswagen Tupperware."
I run to the car and get in. Pam had already taken the driver's seat, leaving me vulnerable to Paul. Just be yourself. I look out the window.
"Beautiful night, isn't it?"
"Certainly is." Autopilot McCartney again.
"I just love a crescent moon surrounded by beautiful shining stars," I continue.
"Yea, it's certainly a night for a romantic," he says.
I almost turn to see his expression but stop myself and continue to gaze out the window. Pam puts on the radio. The song "Help!" fills the car, sending a chill up my spine. 'Cute Beatle Paul' is sitting less than three feet behind me in this car. He could sing this himself. But he's more than 'Cute Beatle Paul'—much more—he's—well, the Maccalovi Speciality.
Recalling all the times Pam and I sang to Beatles records over the phone, I sigh. This can get creepy.
We drop off Paul who cordially thanks us and waves us off. As we leave through the gate Pam turns of the radio. "There's no doubt you've confused him."
"Yea, I know. I was talking to John."
"All that's really left to do is see how long it takes him to call."
"How long? You're expecting he will. What if he doesn't?"
"Believe me, Julia. He'll call."
The next morning I awake to a ringing phone. I jump up and run to find Pam has already picked up. It turns out to be a wrong number. She sighs and shrugs. "What can you do?"
The rest of the day remains somewhat uneventful. Pam and I spent the day once again playing board games. I finally win Monopoly! We do some much needed laundry at a nearby Laundromat and afterward go out and to watch a new, highly publicized movie. Neither of us cares for it too much but are glad to have a day out together.
We go to bed rather early and I once again wake up to the sound of a ringing phone the next day. Pam covers the receiver saying, "It's Peter," as she passes it to me. I sigh, No Paul yet.
"Hello Julia?"
"Hello Peter," I find myself trying too hard to sound excited, and decide to tone it down a bit.
"It's great to hear you voice, luv. Look, I was hoping I could see you today. Pam seems to be feeling better, from what I've heard, that is. I could pick you up, say, maybe twelve today? We could spend the day out."
"Oh, I'd love that." Hey, gorgeous, intelligent guy who really likes me. Why not?
"Gear. I'll see you then."
I hang up and turn to Pam. "Day on the town with Peter."
Pam sighs. "Well, at least he isn't moody like Paul."
"I know, but I was so hoping…"
"Yes, so was I…You should have seen me rush to the phone."
"He didn't then?"
"Call you mean? No, Paul hasn't called this morning."
I nod meekly.
Pam reaches out to me. "Oh Julia, I'm sure he will, besides you already have a date with a wonderful blonde-haired, blue-eyed charmer who really must like you to consistently call you the way he has. What time is he picking you up?"
"It's eleven now. Want breakfast?"
"No, I'm not that hungry, maybe just a glass of orange juice."
"Well, you certainly can't tell that to Peter when he takes you out to eat."
"Yea, I know. Hopefully I'll be hungry by then."
We sit down to talk. She fills my glass. "Pam, I know we haven't discussed this since I got here. But how are things with Sue?"
Ken and Sue are her parents. When Pam was little they went through a messy divorce and ever since her relations with her mother have been poor. Her father has since died.
Pam is clearly surprised by the suddenness of my question but just looks down at the table. "Well, we certainly haven't had any reconciliation if that's what you mean." She looks up at me, eyes filling with anger. "She's been such a witch. She wouldn't go to Ken's funeral and finds something wrong with every guy I get serious with. I had sent her a card for Mother's day just to be big about it. You know, some corny card with a picture of two raisins holding hands and a message on it like, 'Thanks for raisin me.'"
I hadn't been able to attend her father's funeral because it was on the same day as Finals Junior year in college. Instead, I had sent her a long-winded condolence card and spent hours with her on the phone. She still can't seem to get over her mother's absence. Supposedly Sue had already made plans to be on some cruise with some new boyfriend. Pam's mother had even refused to fund her time in college.
"When was the last time you spoke on the phone?"
"I can't even remember."
"Maybe you should try. You know, just see how she is. I know she's been a tyrant to you, but neither of you are getting any younger. It would be nice if you two were at least on speaking terms."
Pam examines her nails. "She probably on some damn cruise with some bloody playboy."
"Maybe you're right. But she is still your mother. She did spent thirty-three hours dedicated to giving birth to you."
"That's probably the only time she spent dedicated to me."
I sigh. "I should get dressed."
Pam glances up. "Look, I don't to want to sound mean to you. You know how upset she gets me and I just can't stand it. I don't like being mad. Especially not while you're here. It would be horrible for me to fall into some mood for the rest of your stay. I think for now it's better if we just let it be."
I nod and walk out. 'For the rest of your stay.' I forget how limited my time here is. I barely have two weeks left. Two weeks left for a fling with Beatle Paul. Two weeks left to spend with my all-time best friend. Two weeks left for me to spend time with my new friend John.
I quickly wash up and throw on a long, flowing, casual navy dress. I put a lavender sweater to cover my arms, fix my make up, grab my pocket book and return to the kitchen.
"Entrancing" is the first word out of Pam's mouth. I smile and the door bell rings. I say goodbye to Pam and answer the door.
Peter. His beautiful blond hair is brushed and parted perfectly to his ears. Blue eyes sparkling. Rosy cheeks from the cold. Dark suede pea coat, navy blue sweater, and tight blue jeans. He definitely fits his title: "young, vibrant, 60's graduate school student."
"You look fabulous," Peter smiles.
I beam. "Thank you." I close the door and he pecks me on the cheek. He puts his arm around me as we walk to the car.
"I was thinking we could sightsee London and go out to eat."
"Sounds wonderful."
"What would you say to visiting Madame Tussaud's first?"
"I've always wanted to visit a wax museum."
We drive the famed museum and park a block away. He opens the car door for me and keeps me warm the whole walk there.
"I'm sorry Pam was so sick the other day. What was the matter?"
"Oh, uh sore throat, fever, dizziness."
"She sounded much better on the phone. She did cough a bit, though."
Must have automatically feigned sickness at Peter's name. "Yea, her fever luckily died down but now she's pretty congested."
"No one picked up when I called that night."
"We fell asleep pretty early. We were both exhausted."
"I see," he says as we reach the museum's line. We eventually make it to the ticket stand and pay. He pays for my ticket and we enter.
We roam through crowded room after crowded room staring at wax sculptures. In the process I bump into a shoulder I believe to be a woman but am startled to discover is made of wax and quickly move back into Peter as it steadies. He snickers at me.
"Something like that would happen to you, wouldn't it?" He places his arms around me.
I blush. "Now what does that mean?"
"You always find away to fall in my arms."
I smile, pulling away. "You always find away to catch me."
Eventually we are packed into a room filled with squealing teenage girls.
"It's a fairly recent addition," Peter says. "The waxing Beatles."
"So I suppose they're not on the wane?" I joke. Peter smirks. I strain to hear him over the mass insanity of crazed girls jumping to kiss the figures and get their pictures taken. I get a brief glance at the statue of Paul and can't help but smile a bit. It may not be him exactly but I must say it's rather well done.
"Of course," Peter continues. "You can fawn over them at home so we need not do it here, too."
I turn to see Peter's expression but before my eyes make my way to his face I'm jabbed in the stomach by the elbow of another hysterical fan. Wow, fans get this crazed over a lump of wax, and I didn't let the flesh kiss me.
After about another hour or so of wax gazing we're both hungry and exit. We drive to a nearby diner and are seated. He buys me a chocolate malted, fries, and the diner's rare attempt at a hamburger. Peter orders the same. He must have done a lot of research to find such a place.
"I figured you might be missing American burgers."
"That was really sweet of you."
Peter takes my hand and kisses it. I stare into his blue eyes. "Not nearly as sweet as you, luv," he says. I gush. But my mind stops me. Hello! Julia! Wake up! Romantic, yes. Sincere? Who knows? That moment was too sudden and too perfect to be real…
Our lunches come. I try the hamburger. Okay, this does not taste like a hamburger but there is no way I can let him know that. I smile and take a second bite.
"Good?" he asks.
"Oh, Mmm, yea, it's great."
He smiles. "I'm glad you like it."
The fries and malted are better and I focus more on them. We don't talk much as we eat and are soon out to walk through the streets. We window shop as he keeps his arm around me. For some reason I find myself looking down the street for John and Paul, even though I know there is no way they'd be out.
Peter brings me into a jewelry store. He notices a beautiful necklace with a gold chain and small opal pendent and asks the salesperson to remove it from the case. The salesperson does so, and hands it to Peter who then places it around my neck. It matches my outfit perfectly and looks gorgeous.
"Peter, it's a wonderful thought. But really, Peter—"
He ignores me, smiling. "Stunning, just like you. I'll get it. Miss, I would like to buy this necklace."
I pretend to look away as he pays for it. I casually glance over as he hands the saleswoman his money. 40 pounds…let's see…that's about 80 dollars. 80 dollars? On our first date? Wow.
I smile as we exit the store. He opens the jewelry box and puts the necklace on me. He hands me the box and I put it into my bag. "Thank you, Peter." I give him a peck on the cheek and he holds my hand as we continue to walk down the street.
The sky begins to darken and turn cold as we reach Redlees Park. Suddenly, Peter stops walking, pulls me to him and stares into my eyes. I look up into his. Paul has deep brown eyes that grab me; Peter's are just pretty to look at. He brushes the hair off my forehead and I close my eyes. He kisses me. I wonder if Paul would have kissed me like this.
"You're beautiful, Julia. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I love being with you."
I begin to feel guilty. I'm not in love with Peter. He's fun to be with, generous, romantic, and sweet. But, I'm not crazy over him. He's telling me how much he likes me and I'm thinking of Paul. I'm remembering Paul's eyes. I'm longing for Paul's kiss. Peter's buying me gifts and spending money on me left and right. This is unfair.
"Peter, I can't accept this." I begin to take off the necklace but catches my hands in his.
"Why luv?"
"Because…Because I just can't. This is only our first date and I don't deserve this."
"Oh luv, yes you do. You deserve this and more." He brushes my cheek with his right hand. "Don't worry, you don't have to feel the way I do. I love you. I've loved you since I first danced with you in the club. But I'll understand if you don't love me back. I'll understand if you don't feel you know me well enough yet."
"Shh. Julia, luv, you're a darling. We're having a great time, don't change that."
With that I am silent. He put his arms around me and we begin to walk back to the car.
"There's still dinner you know," Peter says.
We drive to a Chinese restaurant. We have a delicious dinner and I find Peter to have a truly wicked sense of humor. I have a wonderful time and he drives me home. On the doorstep he kisses me with such fervor as to physically ask for me to invite him inside. I refuse. I thank him and go back in to find John and Paul seated on Pam's couch. Pam talking to them in the facing chair.
Good thing I didn't invite Peter in. "Oh hello."
They all look up, surprised. Pam stands and faces me. "Welcome Julia, I didn't expect you back so early. John and Paul had dropped by and decided to stay a bit. I told them you were out and would be back eventually." Uninhibited, Pam asks me, "Julia, is that necklace new? I don't remember you wearing it before…" She soon realizes her mistake but it's too late to try to fix it.
I casually put down my purse as John and Paul make space between them on the couch, all attention on the necklace. "Oh, well I suppose it's fairly new," I say.
"Peter?" John asks. I am startled by his candidness but decide the best answer is an honest one.
"Yes, he bought it for me this afternoon."
There is an awkward silence about the room. Pam glances at me apologetically.
"Would anyone like anything to drink?" I offer.
Paul, knowing I don't drink, says, "Pepsi."
John looks surprised at Paul yet shrugs and says the same. Pam says, "No thank you."
I walk into the kitchen, relieved to be rid of the coldness of the living room. I pour two glasses of Pepsi and carry them in. Thankfully, by the time I have returned Pam has restored the room to its original liveliness and I sit back down on the couch.
"Paul was just telling us about a picture you had drawn that day at Decca Studios…would you happen to have it with you?" John asks.
I gulp. Oh no…anything but that. Pam smiles. She's laughing inside, she knows what he's talking about. "Oh, uh, that one…"
I grab for my purse and take out my notebook. I slowly flip to that page. "Here…this one you mean?"
Pam looks and I can see as her eyes almost pop out of her head as she covers her mouth so as not to laugh. She casually excuses herself to the bathroom.
"Yea, that's the like," Paul says, smiling. "I think it has beautiful likeness to a woman, don't you think John?"
John takes one look at it and smirks. He looks in my eyes and I can see he's guessed it. I decide to nonchalantly explain what had happened to John without outright letting Paul in on the whole situation.
"You see, John, I had this sudden inspiration, and, well, I started drawing, I didn't realize where I was going with it…and you see, well, just as I had completed the eyebrows, eyes, and such, Paul came right over my shoulder and so I finished it while he watched."
John gets my message in its entirety and Paul smiles, recalling the situation. "Yeah, at first I saw the top part, thinking it looked somewhat familiar, you know? But now that it's finished, I don't think I could recognize who is it at all. Though I must say it's very well drawn."
"Oh yes—" John says, doing his best to not humiliate me. "I must say it is incredibly well drawn. And it's funny; I feel the same sense for familiarity in the eyes and eyebrows as well. Amazing." He quickly closes the book. "But, well I do believe further pondering might destroy the mystery and then, well," he laughs, "there'd be no more mystery. How bout you put it away, luv?"
I smile. "Good idea."
Pam returns fully composed and reclines in her chair. "How did recording go today?" she asks.
"Well me and John spent the day working on the lyrics to some songs. But yesterday we were recording past midnight."
John sighs. "Yea, that was a first, but I must say we got a lot done."
"I would imagine so," I say.
"Which does, however, mean that we have some fun to make up for. Let's go out dancing!" John says.
"Dancing?" I ask. This will certainly test Pam's limits.
Paul looks equally surprised but willing, as does Pam.
"Oh come on, it'd be keen!" He abruptly stands up and begins to walk out of the room. "Come 'ead!"
I look over at Pam. She shrugs as we follow John. We pile into the car, Pam driving, John beside her to administer directions and Paul and me in the back seat. As Pam starts the car I notice how clearly uncomfortable Paul is. He turns briefly to look at me, catching my eyes, but quickly faces the window.
I spend the rest of the ride watching as John directs Pam to the club. There's no doubt there's a strong attraction between the two of them, hopefully Pam is strong enough to resist.
Paul holds the door as we walk into the club but manages to keep a twelve-inch distance at all times. As I glance around the room I am immediately brought to the conclusion that my dress is much too long, of course, at this point it's a useless cause.
John starts dancing with Pam and soon Paul and I follow suit. Paul is smiling adorably and winks at me as the song picks up pace.
As the night progresses, a slow song begins and Paul pulls me close. Feeling daring, I place my head on his shoulder and beam as he pulls his arms around me. I can smell the scent of his cologne mixed with smoke and for some reason I find myself strangely attracted to it. If I'm dreaming, I don't ever want to wake up. I love the way our bodies fit so well together—it's as if we were made for each other.
I look up to see Pam and John kissing. Well, this is a definite regression…though, I must admit, I wouldn't mind if Paul were kissing me as well.
Much too soon, the song ends and the four of us decide it's time to return home. Pam pulls out, and obviously distracted, bumps into the car with steamed up windows parked behind us.
"Bugger, no doubt this bloke's gonna be pissed," John says.
I cringe. Always something to ruin a perfect night.

Macaroni and "Cheese"
If, after your first wary couple of forkfuls, you don't think this recipe is better than dairy mac and cheese, which most of us have tasted, you did something wrong. I've made it and if you let me come to your house I will show you how it is done.
1/2 cup flour (use all-purpose)
3/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup water
1 cup unsweetened, non-dairy milk
3 tablespoons mild-tasting oil (such as corn oil)
1 lb. elbow macaroni (or fusilli, bowties, shells – whatever makes you happy)
Cook macaroni or other pasta according to package directions.
While you pasta is cooking, let's make the special secret "cheese" sauce:
In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine the water, milk, and oil and whisk briefly.
In another bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients together.
Heat a medium saucepan. Add the dry ingredients to the saucepan, and slowly add the wet ingredients, continuously whisking over medium heat. Once all the ingredients are incorporated, turn up the heat until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken. Keep whisking as the mixture thickens and bubbles – do this for about a minute or two, and then turn the heat down. Keep whisking (your arm may be tired, but it's a small sacrifice,
trust me). After a spell, your "cheese" sauce should be nice and thick. Turn the heat off, and cover your saucepan.
Drain you pasta when it is done and return it to the pot. Add all of you "cheese" sauce and stir well.

Hi, I'm wondering whether its possible to handle a page element, via the URI? I'd like to handle an elements attribute, based on its ID. Like an expansion of the #ID URI feature. I'm hoping for something like: http://domain/page.html#ID[dir]="ltr" In the example above, i would want to add the "dir" attribute, with a value of "ltr", to the element whose id is "ID" If its not currently possible, could it be considered for a future standard, or an extension to the current URI standard. Thanks, Matthew MillarReceived on Wednesday, 27 October 2010 16:22:35 UTC

The mother of a San Diego State University freshman who was found dead on the cliffs below the Torrey Pines Gliderport on Valentine's Day wants answers as to how her daughter died.
Saw May Khoo of Millbrae, in San Mateo County, said she just cannot believe her daughter Sandy, 18, went for a hike at night alone on the dangerous cliffs above Black's Beach.
Khoo said she thinks her daughter was with someone when she fell 50 feet to her death. Sandy Khoo's body was discovered about 12:30 p.m. by people walking on the beach, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque.
Her purse, a water bottle and flashlight were found nearby. Her mother said it was common for her to carry those items. She also carried Mace, which was not found in her purse, Saw May Khoo said.
Khoo said it would have been extremely out of character for her daughter to be out alone late at night.
Khoo said she thinks her daughter was with someone or was meeting someone.
Authorities have said they found no sign of foul play or anything suspicious in Sandy Khoo's death. According to the Medical Examiner's Office, she died of blunt-force injuries consistent with a fall.
San Diego police have opened an investigation into her death at the request of her mother, said homicide Lt. Ernie Herbert. Detectives have interviewed many friends and associates of Sandy Khoo but have come up with no new information as to what she was doing at the cliffs that night, Herbert said.
"No one's come forward," he said. "We have absolutely nothing to go by."
One man did tell detectives that Sandy Khoo went to Black's Beach frequently, Herbert said.
Saw May Khoo said her daughter, an art lover who was majoring in graphic arts, loved the ocean and liked to surf. She was taking an oceanography class and had been at the Torrey Pines beach that Saturday for a class assignment.
A cab dropped her at the trolley station in Old Town, and she was seen going to her dormitory about 7:45 p.m.
What happened next is unclear. Sandy Khoo's last cell phone call was made to the Metropolitan Transit System from a bus stop on College Avenue near El Cajon Boulevard at 12:04 a.m., her mother said.
