<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Pirates were so close to .500 this past week and then we ran into the Cubs. Within one game of .500 and now the losing continues, it just doesn't seem like they can get over that hump, and with the Cubs coming up again soon again to quote Mike Lange, Look out Loretta, Elvis has just left the building.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I natt drømte jeg noe merkelig, sa Cronenberg og knaste sukkerbiten mellom tennene. En flue landet på mikrofonen. Cronenberg rettet på de runde brillene. Øynene hans forstørret bak de kraftige glassene. Han betraktet fluen gni forlabbene mot hverandre før den lettet og fløy videre.</p>
<p>Cronenberg ga signalet. Innspillingslederen skrudde på det røde lyset. Cronenberg løftet de lange armene med de spinkle hendene mot lyset. De var alene i den store salen. Kameraet zoomet inn. Cronenberg slikket seg om leppene, tørr i halsen grep han etter vannglasset. Nedtellingen begynte. Han la ansiktet i tillitsvekkende folder, stirret rett i kameraet og ventet til kjenningsmelodien var spilt ferdig.<!--more--></p>
<p>I kampen mot terrorisme skyr vi ingen midler, sa Cronenberg vennlig og bestemt. Applausen skurret fra fjernsynet. Bildet flimret. I vår søken etter nødvendig informasjon må vi ha lov til å bruke alle tilgjengelige midler. Han spyttet, og tørket sikkelet fra haken. Alle terrorister har et svakt punkt, og slik vi tar hull på en byll skal vi ta hull på dem. Jo tidligere jo bedre.</p>
<p>Cronenberg tørket svetten fra pannen, strakte seg etter vannglasset, rakk akkurat å berøre det før en hånd løftet fjernkontrollen og skrudde ham av. Fjernsynsbildet fortsatte å flimre. Cronenberg eksploderte. Armer og ben spredt rundt i salen. Innpillingslederen truffet av en fot. Skjermen dekket av blod.</p>
<p>Cronenberg våknet forvirret. En flue sirklet rundt ham. Han viftet etter den, men den fortsatte ufortrødent. Snart kom en til og enda en, til en sverm av fluer dekket kroppen hans. Han ble som en svart summende snømann. Bortsett fra at det ikke var snø, men fluer. Cronenberg våknet igjen, grep etter vannglasset på nattbordet og tømte det ned i en slurk. Først da han svelget merket han at det klødde i halsen. Han prøvde først å hoste det ut, så ga han opp. Bare en flue … mumlet han og sovnet igjen. Drømte at han var … en gjennomsiktig … tikkende flue … på vei mot null. Tikk takk. Tikk takk. Tikk takk.</p>
<p>Vekkerklokken ringte. I speilet stirret et uklart ansikt mot ham. Cronenberg satte på seg brillene og gjenkjente det som sitt eget. Han åpnet avtaleboken og leste: Fjernsynstale om terrorisme klokken 10:45. Han kastet et blikk på klokken. 10:39. På tide å finne plassen sin. En flue summet i lyskuppelen, dasket mot glasset, laget skygger på veggen, slapp ikke fri. Cronenberg gned hendene nervøst mot hverandre, smekket døren bak seg og vinglet mot studio.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeg har ikke lyst, sa Agnete. Stig presset henne mot veggen. Hun ville skyve ham bort, men slo hurtig fast at det ville bare gjøre ham enda mer oppsatt på å tvinge viljen sin igjennom. Agnete åpnet munnen og lot ham stikke tungen sin – en sprellende brisling – inn i henne. Nei, stønnet Agnete, Jeg vil ikke. Stig presset hodet hennes mot skrittet sitt. Hun skjøv hånden hans bort og kneppet opp. Det ville gå fortere over slik, var det eneste hun tenkte.<!--more--></p>
<p>Fiskebutikken var full av avhuggede kjønnsorganer, og mannen bak disken smilte mot henne: skal det være ferskpikk eller røket pikk? Vi har tyrkerpikk og Negerpikk; vi har barnepikk og syltet pikk på glass. Fiskemannens stemme gneldret i ørene hennes mens Stig jokket fisken sin inn og ut av henne. De klamme hendene hans i nakken holdt henne fast. Pikk. Pikk. Pikk. Fiskemannen løftet dem opp og viste henne: her er en omskåren jødepikk, og der: en smekker araberpikk.</p>
<p>Kom han aldri? Hvor lenge måtte hun sitte på kne for ham? Mannen bak disken messet om testikkelsuppe, testikkelragu, knuste testikler i hvitløk. Han grep et glass med nypisset urin, tok en slurk og viste henne etikettene: jordbærsmak, lavendelsmak, appelsinsmak og viltsmak. Skal det være noe å skylle ned med? Akkurat ankommet er et lass rumpehull, hvis det kan være til inspirasjon, velbrukte eller jomfruelig ferske, med eller uten tarm. Det er ikke grenser for hva vi kan tilby i dag… Agnes trakk seg unna og pustet inn, før Stig presset henne på plass. Det var ikke mulig å slippe unna. Ikke nå.</p>
<p>Fiskemannen holdt frem ampuller med sæd, garantert fersk, eller hvis du foretrekker denne: lagret i tolv år på eiketrefat. Han viste ulike varianter … og her en hjemmelaget, hemmelig oppskrift. Agnete svimlet. Halsen strammet seg før pikken myknet i munnen hennes. Hun svelget og svelget, men hun var like tørr. Stig slapp taket i henne og sank tilbake på sengen. Fiskemannen snakket videre inne i henne, viste henne nye, avkuttede bryster. Se her, smilte han, ennå med morsmelk hvis du suger. Og her… nysløyede kvinnekjønn… store små lange glatte futuriske lakserøde kvinnekjønn lå omgitt av isbiter.</p>
<p>Agnete lente seg tilbake, ville ikke si noe, klemte bena sammen. Hennes eget kjønn lå på disken, fristende og fuktig. Da fiskemannen spurte om hun ville ha det kuttet i biter, ristet hun på hodet og la pengene på disken. Endelige hjemme pakket hun det ut og spiste det i seg. Orgasmen ristet i henne for hver munnfull. Agnete strakte seg ut og krøp inntil ham. Hun ble liggende og lukte på fingrene sine til hun sovnet.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a><img src="http://static.flickr.com/2118/1919391428_38d61ae4c5.jpg" alt="feathers" border="0" width="" height="" align="right" /></a><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Feathers feature prominently on the elegant evening purses by Michael Teperson, the new Milan-based handbag designer. "They are very complicated to make and have to be done beautifully, otherwise they end up looking like pencil cases," jokes Teperson, referring to the luxury evening bags that he produces in a specialist factory away from the fashion fray in Palermo, Sicily. One of the most popular styles is Flute, an opera bag fashioned in satin, lined with suede and graced with an opulent plume of elegant ostrich feathers.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">"Feathers are one of the earliest and most primal forms of human decoration, and their exotic nature has always added a sensualquality, so it is no wonder feathers feature so prominently in the world of burlesque," explains the designer whose bags sell for upwards of £320. "Feathers also blend innocence with sexuality and this would have appealed to the Victorians. For me, the sheer glamour is both a challenge and a joy to work with."</p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Fixing feathers to Teperson's bags is a complicated process. Feathers are plucked from geese or ostriches and hand glued to bags by women in Tuscany.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">£483 from <a href="http://www.harrods.com/HarrodsStore/">Harrods</a> +44 207 730 1234</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2342/1901757793_76d78f56bc_m.jpg" alt="iphone" border="0" width="240" height="96" align="right" /></a><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">The iPhone finally arrives in the UK on November 9, available from 6pm. It's arrival has been eagerly awaited, and for this <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">Apple</a> user it's been a long time coming. As I'm heavily pregnant it's unfortunately going to be purchased from a local O2 shop, however I'd love to be down at Regent's street for the grand launch!</p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">It features a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email, web browsing, searching and maps. And iPhone makes it all easy to use with its pioneering multi-touch user interface. iPhone syncs with your PC or <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">Mac</a> just like an iPod, so organising your content now will help you start calling, texting, emailing, surfing, listening and watching even faster when you get your iPhone. Here are a few suggestions to help you get ready:</p>
<p><u>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Contacts</p>
<p></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Making a call with iPhone is as simple as tapping a name. You won’t need to re-enter all your contacts because iPhone syncs with the address book you already use on your computer — Address Book or Entourage on a <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">Mac</a>, or Outlook or Outlook Express on a PC. If you keep your contacts on the web using Yahoo! Address Book, iPhone can sync with them, too. To get ready for iPhone, organise your contacts in one of these applications and make sure they’re up to date with the latest phone numbers and email addresses. If you have a lot of contacts on your current SIM card, make sure to migrate them to the address book on your computer. You can also enter contacts directly into iPhone.</p>
<p><u>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Calendar</p>
<p></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Using its built-in calendar, iPhone lets you check your appointments with the flick of a finger. iPhone uses iTunes to sync with the calendar application you already use on your computer — iCal or Entourage on the <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">Mac</a>, or Outlook on a PC — just like it does with your contacts. If you don’t already use one of these applications to manage your appointments, now is a great time to start, so you’ll be ready to sync when your iPhone arrives. If you choose not to use a calendar program, that’s OK. You’ll be able to enter appointments directly into the iPhone calendar.</p>
<p><u>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Email</p>
<p></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">iPhone offers the best-ever email application on a mobile phone. So now your phone can display rich HTML email with graphics and photos alongside the text. iPhone will even fetch your latest email every time you open the application and automatically retrieve your email on a set schedule, just like a computer does. iPhone works with the most popular email systems — including Yahoo! Mail, AOL, Google Mail and <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">.Mac</a> Mail. If you’re not already using one of these services, now would be a great time to get an account. iTunes will make email setup on iPhone easy by automatically syncing the settings from email accounts stored in Mail on a <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">Mac</a> or Outlook on a PC. Don’t worry if you’re not on one of these email services; iPhone also works with almost any industry-standard POP3 and IMAP email system.</p>
<p><u>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Photos</p>
<p></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">iPhone has a 2-megapixel camera and a gorgeous 3.5-inch display, so it’s a great way to enjoy and show off your digital photos. iPhone uses iTunes to sync your photos from iPhoto on a <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">Mac</a> or Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Photoshop Album or any picture folder on a PC. You can carry thousands of photos on iPhone, but you can start by creating an album or two with 50 to 100 of your favourite photos, so that when you first sync your iPhone, you’ll be ready to quickly show off some of your best shots.</p>
<p><u>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Music and Video</p>
<p></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">iPhone has a beautiful, 3.5-inch widescreen display that allows you to easily enjoy the music, TV shows and videos you have in your iTunes library. If you already use iTunes, you can start getting ready for iPhone by creating a playlist of a few hundred of your favourite songs. If you don’t have iTunes, now is a good time to download it and start a music and video library. That way, when you sync your iPhone with iTunes, you’ll be able to take your favourite music, TV shows and videos with you wherever you go.</p>
<p><u>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">iTunes Account</p>
<p></u></p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">To set up your iPhone, you’ll need an account with <a href="http://www.apple.com/uk/">Apple’s</a> iTunes Store. If you already have an iTunes account, make sure you know your account name and password. If you don’t have an account, you should set one up now to save time later. To set up an account, launch iTunes, select the iTunes Store, and click the Sign In button in the upper right corner of iTunes. Sign in and you’re ready to go.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">This means that the amplifier and dock elements are built into a single piece chassis, thereby providing an elegant and high impact design. The specification has been uplifted to include 2 pairs of source inputs (plus the iPod dock), a remote control which handles volume and tonal changes for all three sources, (plus all the iPod functionality) and a huge increase in power to 25w per channel. Coming in two versions, (with matching speakers or without), the Carbon Edition is a logical progression from the standard iTube.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:13px;" class="Apple-style-span">Designed for those with a darker side.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Betty følte seg elsket og trygg med sine to menn. Den ene gikk når den andre kom, og den andre kom]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Betty følte seg elsket og trygg med sine to menn. Den ene gikk når den andre kom, og den andre kom når den ene gikk. Alle tre kunne også trives i samme rom. Hun gikk på kino med Paul, og i skogen med Rikard. Betty var midtpunktet mellom de to. Ofte ønsket hun at de to kunne elske hverandre slik hun elsket dem begge. Hun kunne ønske, men ikke kreve. Paul og Rikard respekterte hverandre og elsket Betty, nøt også av å ha fri, være alene, å kunne overlate henne til den andre i trygg forvisning om at hun ble tatt vare på og at de fikk henne tilbake i god behold. Betty, Paul og Rikard levde i en dans hvor trinnene ble til etter hvert som de trengtes. <!--more--></p>
<p>Så var det den dagen Paul møtte Liza. Han kom for sent til middag, unnskyldte seg og fortalte om henne. Både Betty og Rikard ville gjerne møte henne og inviterte henne allerede neste kveld. Paul vasket i huset, Rikard laget maten, Betty dekket bordet til fire. Alle ønsket de Liza velkommen. At Liza var yngre og slankere enn Betty var ikke noe problem, heller ikke at Liza elsket Paul, verken for Paul, Liza, Rikard eller Betty.</p>
<p>Liza flyttet inn. I begynnelsen gikk det fint. Hun gled inn i dansen, lærte trinnene og brakte med seg nye, vekslet mellom Rikard og Paul like lett som Betty. Også Betty og Liza lærte hverandre å kjenne, både kropp og sjel.</p>
<p>Noen ganger var de fire, noen ganger var de tre, noen ganger var de to, og stadig oftere var Betty alene. Etter hvert følte hun at både Paul og Rikard ga Liza mer oppmerksomhet enn de ga henne. Hun ble mørkere, trakk seg unna og forsterket den onde sirkelen. Svarte tanker fylte henne, gjorde dagene tyngre, hun ble biskere i stemmen, kommentarene giftigere, de andre ble fiender. Betty forsøkte å spille dem mot hverandre, men alt hun oppnådde var selv å bli satt utenfor, lukket inne i seg selv. Et raseri vokste i henne, hun kranglet med Liza, skrek til Paul og slo etter Rikard. En dag hun gikk for å handle kom hun ikke tilbake. De etterlyste henne i radio, aviser og på plakater. Noen dager senere gikk de manngard langs elven.</p>
<p>Det var Paul som fant henne, under broen, en tom pilleboks i hånden. De spredde asken hennes ut over havet slik hun hadde ønsket. Liza, Rikard og Paul fortsatte å leve sammen. Ubesværet danset de inn og ut av hverandre. Liza var bindeleddet mellom dem begge, iblant kunne hun ønske at Paul og Rikard elsket hverandre slik de elsket henne, men det viktigste var at de var lykkelige sammen. Hun gikk i teater med Rikard, og i skogen med Paul.</p>
<p>Så møtte Rikard Naomi…</p>
