Please pray that God feels it is our time to sell our house. Also that our son will get a job. I also ask for prayers for all our friends and family that are dealing with health issues. Thank you

My husband does not feel like he is in love with me anymore and is trying to decide if we are getting divorced. We have been going to therapy for two years and I feel like there needs to be an intervention by God in order for our marriage to be saved. I am giving God control of the situation because I do not know who else will save our marriage. I want to stay married for the Glory of God. I want to stay with my husband for the rest of my earthly life. I believe there is power in prayer, so I'm asking for prayer for my marriage.That we stay married, that my husband chooses to love me again and tht he let go of resentment and anger that he feels. Pray that he stop listening to the lies of the devil and instead listen to the voice of reason, Jesus. Please pray whatever is on your heart for my marriage to be restored that the devil be overcome as I'm certain the devil doesn't want our marriage to survive. My husband is also not saved, as far as I know, so we are not in the same place spiritually. So we really need a lot of prayer if you are willing. Thank you!

I am a 17 yr old girl and I have struggled with overeating my entire life. I have always been heavy, and though I never let it show, it has always bothered me. When I was 13 I was a t summer camp and we were doing an activity that required running, I could hardly breathe. The girl next to me innocently said "You don't run much do you?" I was so offended and ashamed. I was 180lbs and 5'8" at the time. I then made the decision to lose weight. I began very healthily, watching portions and walking the dog 30mins a day, and was able to lose 10lbs(my goal was 20lbs). Then when I turned 15 my family found out my dad, who just had turned 50, had stage 2 pancreatic cancer. I remember feeling nothing. I have always loved my dad, he was great, but he struggled with his faith his whole life, and I never had a very close relationship with him. The next 6 months I started walking the dog more often in order to get away from the house, there was a lot of tension in the house. My mom is a nurse and disagreed with some of the treatments that were happening and my dad was in denial. He was also doing at home hospice and I didn't like being there. Anyway, I started to refocus on losing weight, mainly as a distraction, but also to be as healthy as possible with cancer now in my medical history. My dad was diagnosed in March 2013 and died on Oct. 21, 2013. It hurt, but I wasn't immobilized like in the movies, life went on and I felt so bad about that. I had lost another 10 lbs over the summer/fall and continued to try to lose weight, even though I had reached my goal. I felt better then ever physically, but I didn't look the way I wanted yet. In December(156lbs 5'9") I was diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus. It's a chronic illness that has to do with the way your body holds onto fluid. Then I graduated high school a year early in late-March and we moved in mid-April. Stress started piling up and I started controlling the one thing I could, my weight. I lost a total of 58lbs and was down to 122lbs 5'9 3/4" at my lowest in June 2014, when my mom caught wind of what was happening. I saw a counselor for a while and started healthily gaining a little weight back, but then unhealthily. I started binge eating basically everyday in July and continue even now. I have gained a lot of weight back now, though I haven't been allowed to weight myself so I don't know how much. I feel so lost and hopeless, this entire thing has made me feel alone and numb to God's voice. I know all the answers and everything that you learn in church, and I know what I'm supposed to say, but I can't feel God anymore. I don't know how to reconnect and I don't know how to stop binge eating. I just don't even know if I care anymore. Please pray for my health, head, and heart. And most importantly that I could surrender myself fully back to God and regain the purpose and fulfillment in my life. Thank You.

Thank you for praying for us. Our eldest son and grandson have found housing but he is still planning on living with his girlfriend. Our youngest son who was charged with possession and paraphernalia has his court date soon. We have always prayed, "Whatever it takes, Lord, bring them to you." Pray for wisdom for us, protection for our sons and grandsons from the evil one and that our prodigals would come back to Jesus. Many thanks.

Today I feel 39226931
Today I feel christian louboutin cheap healthy. Being able to breathe and interact with my son and not feel like I'm out of breath is incredible. I don't have to ask him to tie my shoes it's the little things like that that make a huge difference. If it rains when you wear dyeable shoes there is a strong chance they are going to fade. The dye put on these shoes is by no means permanent, so it needs to be protected. louboutin shoes outlet Sometimes you will come across a Payless representative that might tell you that the dye is permanent, but it is not. They also have a secure and easy closing feature, using the hook and loop closure functionality. The full grain leather upper largely contributes to their comfort and breathing capability. Their durability padding and stability is a result of the christian louboutin outlet online polyurethane and EVA encap mid sole. Crime and poverty is the norm in NOA, but recently there has been an influx of a new type of criminal. Within this suffering population emerged a new type of being; one that the government did not plan on containing in NOA. Humans with extraordinary abilities started to cause havoc using their strengths to take advantage of the cheap christian louboutin shoeslawlessness of the region. Second reaction: Where was the Secret Service? I gather they've taken some flak already about this, although mainly from pencil necked pundits and bloggers like myself, nattering away safe in our beds. Just milling around the Internet, I've seen lots of sweaty outrage about "the second shoe" today. It does seem a little surprising that a discount christian louboutin shoes guy could fire two whole shoes at the President of the United States before someone stopped him. If the shoes are worn out to the point that they no longer provide support and comfort, their retirement is imminent. If, on the other hand, the shoes have a portion of the sole that has separated from the shoe, a toe cap with a torn seam, or a foot bed liner that won't mens christian louboutin stay in place, you can probably do the repairs yourself. With the right glue and some simple tools, you can revive your old golf shoes to last at least another season.. He's far from the only example here, with essentially all of the story's major players starting as near total stereotypes and gradually picking up subtle personality traits throughout the story.The upshot of this louboutin pigalle 120 approach is that the episodic comedy in this volume is very effective, but at the same time Umino's clearly leaving a lot of room for the long term dramatic storyline to grow. The only place where these two elements seem to be at odds is in Umino's characterization of Hagu, who reveals the least character development here out of the story's major players. Instead, she's basically content throughout the entire volume to act as a prop (sometimes literally so) in the other characters' interactions./llw/0428/ cheap beats by dre headphones cheap beats by dr dre cheap beats by dre studio

Fukushima watchers may recall the harsh criticism Tokyo Electric Power Co., operator of the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant, came under for hurriedly draining rainwater from the site as typhoon Man-yi swept through northeastern Japan in mid-September. Now, with another big typhoon approaching, Japan's nuclear watchdog has decided to allow Tepco do the same thing again because there is so little time left before the storm hits.
Typhoon Wipha is expected to make a landfall in the greater Tokyo area early Wednesday morning. The Japan Meteorological Agency says it is most powerful typhoon to close in on Tokyo in 10 years. Heavy rains and powerful winds are forecast along the eastern and northeastern Pacific coastal areas, including Fukushima. That has many worried about what will happen to the plant and the thousands of tons of radioactive water stored in tanks there. Read More »

text: Nursery Design Tips From Restoration Hardware Catalog 5 Nursery Decorating Ideas to Steal From the Restoration Hardware Baby and Child Catalog by Rebecca Gruber 9/07/11 2 Reactions 427 Shares Print 242 181 4 0 0 There are some catalogs, which when they appear in the mail, are more exciting than a preschool acceptance letter. The Restoration Hardware Baby and Child catalog is one of them. Each page is filled with drool-worthy pieces, but more importantly, expertly styled rooms that exude a sense of richness from every corner. While the products are out of many mamas-to-be's budgets, their style tips can be stolen and used in nurseries of any price range. Here are the top five tips I took away from the 184-page catalog that most recently landed in my mailbox. Don't Shy Away From Gray What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Walk into a baby furnishing store, and you're sure to find plenty of white, natural, and dark wood cribs. Restoration Hardware's "French Grey" proves that there's no need to go with tradition. The color provides a warm addition to the room and can be highlighted with window treatments and other fabric-covered furniture pieces. 1 / 5 The Industrial Look Can Be Warm What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The antique-inspired Millbrook cribs are certainly industrial in nature, but their bronze finish, sweet bedding additions, and juxtaposition with more contemporary chandeliers tones them down and makes the room more inviting. 2 / 5 Embrace the Chaise What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A rocker or glider is great for lulling a newborn off to sleep, but new moms can count on plenty of nights stationed next to the lil one's crib as the tot battles a cold, nightmare, or any one of a myriad of ailments. A comfortable chaise, like the camelback chaise, would be the perfect place to stretch out when there's a long night ahead. 3 / 5 Caning Isn't Reserved For Chairs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Most people think of caning as an artifact left over from the '70s, but the Adele crib's woven cane panels prove that the style still looks great today. 4 / 5 Think Outside the Chandelier For Lighting What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Though chandeliers have become increasingly popular for providing overhead lighting, they aren't the only dangling option for a lil one's room. The Adler pendant in this room not only looks great, but it provides much more light than some of the more dainty options in many rooms. 6 / 5 242 181 4 0 0 Read More Decorating Ideas To StealNurseriesEditor's PickRestoration Hardware Editor's Pick 66 Fabulous and Unique Birthday Cakes For Baby and Tot 16 hours ago 10 Foundations We Love Under $10 5 days ago The Ups and Downs of Being a Back-to-School Parent 5 days ago Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino 5 days ago A Melt-Proof Makeup Look That Can Withstand Sweaty August Days 1 week ago Grooming Gifts That Real Guys Are Actually Obsessed With 1 week ago Natasha-Dantzig 2 years I love that so many of these products are unisex and totally timeless.

Those "Happiness" lectures downtown have run their course, but the University of Arizona's Science Cafe series continues.
On Tuesday at 6 p.m., Regents' Professor Leslie Tolbert will speak on "The Science of Smell — an Acquired Taste" at Magpie's Pizza, 605 N. 4th Ave.
Most people know that most of what we sense as taste is actually smell. That's why they tell you to hold your nose and take your medicine. Tolbert will demonstrate that by having you hold your nose while you try to discern the flavor of jelly beans.
She'll also tall the tale of the famous wine-taster, who remembers every one of the tens of thousands of wines he's sampled.
Smell is "an acquired taste," said Tolbert, a professor of neurosciences. You need sensory input over your lifetime to develop it and scientists are still unsure whether you can improve it by training.
The science cafes, sponsored by the UA College of Science, are part lecture but mostly conversation, so come with any questions you have about smell and taste and Tolbert will answer them, using the latest scientific studies on the subject.
Admission is free. Food and beverages are available for purchase.

How utterly and completely wrong we can be. Even brilliant minds with all the evidence and trend lines on their side can err. Evidence suggests that the market—that mysterious amalgam of billions of tiny decisions that comes to be instantiated in the reality around us—is infinitely smarter.
In fact, the market constantly outsmarts us.
I submit as evidence the gigantic multiplex cinema that recently opened in my community. It is beautiful. It is dramatic. It is gigantic. It is fashionable. It is expensive to attend. And it is crowded most nights of the week—a madhouse on weekends.
When I travel and look for the movies, my smartphone app always seems to reveal a nice theater down the street from wherever I happen to be, rarely more than 10 miles away. The number of indoor screens has grown every year for 25 years, and today there are twice as many as there were in the pre-digital year of 1987, according to the National Association of Theater Owners.by

It is easy to pick up a newspaper, watch television or look on a blog and assume the end is nigh. Between foreign affairs crises, demographic time bombs, debt icebergs and having only hours left to save the NHS (more on that another time…), it would not be unreasonable for us all to assume the world has got a lot worse – that capitalism has failed, inequality has sky-rocketed, and we are living shorter, sadder and more violent lives.by

While Croatia has declined to outsource non-core government activities due to labor-union pressure, the U.S. and U.K. governments contract-out even the provision of security services, including military and intelligence functions. This latest trends in the scope of outsourcing should serve as a brake on the Croatian government's decision to discard its planned limited scope of outsourcing, to create a spin-off government monopoly instead, and to put other market reforms in question. Outsourcing is important for introducing choice, competition, quality, innovation, and economy to "new public management."by
Since the economic crisis of 2008-2009, the Federal Reserve – America's central bank – has expanded the money supply in the banking system by over $4 trillion, and has manipulated key interest rates to keep them so artificially low that when adjusted for price inflation, several of them have been actually negative. We should not be surprised if this is setting the stage for another serious economic crisis down the road.
Back on December 16, 2009, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee announced that it was planning to maintain the Federal Funds rate – the rate of interest at which banks lend to each other for short periods of time – between zero and a quarter of a percentage point. The Committee said that it would keep interest rates "exceptionally low" for an "extended period of time, which has continued up to the present.by

That politicians lie is to be expected; that people believe them is unfortunate, but understandable. But, that a free and independent press ignores them is reprehensible. On September 9th 2009, speaking before a joint session of Congress, newly elected President Obama laid out his healthcare plan. In doing so, he claimed that illegal immigrants would not benefit from his plan. Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) indecorously called out: "You lie!" The media attacked him as a pariah. For his transgression, Mr. Wilson later apologized. Nevertheless, while ObamaCare theoretically disallows illegals to sign up, states have found ways, such as the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to get around the law's supposed restrictions.by

We are dreaming. We desire utopias. We treat ourselves with placebo drugs and we are hypnotized by all of the above. The symptoms started in Japan in the early 1990s. It has been called Japanese malaise and it seems that is spreading. Subpar GDP growth rate, interest rates stuck somewhere in the twilight zone of zero percent, with fixed capital investments awakening only during supper time, a banking sector with huge collateral holes, an inverted asset pyramid whose crown jewel is the derivatives market, with nations suffering from a debt hangover, and ageing populations that have no idea how unfunded liabilities will be covered. Welcome to the age of complex disequilibrium characterized by diminished expectations.by
A sensitively written op-ed by Nicholas Kristoff, in Sunday's New York Times, had the title: Is a hard life inherited? Mr. Kristoff relates the story of a childhood friend who has had a hard life. His mother died after choking on a bit of bacon. His father left home. This all happened when he was five. With his three siblings, he was raised by a grandmother, growing up in a "ramshackle home in a mire of disadvantage." Despite having a "first-class" mind, he was suspended for truancy in the 8th grade, drifted through life in a haze of alcohol and drugs, while fathering two illegitimate children.by
Was ist der Tax Freedom Day?
Wie lange müssen die österreichischen Steuerzahler durchschnittlich arbeiten um die jährlichen Steuern und Abgaben zu decken?
Diese zentrale Frage beantwortet das Konzept des Tax Freedom Days. Der Tax Freedom Day (deutsch: Steuerzahlergedenktag oder Steuerzahlertag) bezeichnet den ersten Tag eines Jahres, an welchem die Steuerzahler ei- nes Landes durchschnittlich, das von Ihnen erwirtschaftete Einkommen nicht mehr zur Bezahlung ihrer Steuern an den Staat zahlen müssen, sondern in die eigene Tasche wirt- schaften können. Ursprünglich ist dieses Kon- zept entstanden durch die Tax Foundation in
Washington D.C., USA und wurde von mehre- ren Wirtschaftsinstituten wie dem Adam Smith Institute in Großbritannien oder dem Karl- Bräuer Institut des Bundes der Steuerzahler Deutschland aufgegriffen. Hinter diesem theo- retischen Konzept, welches zugegebenermaßen nicht frei von Kritik ist, verbirgt sich das Ziel die Steuerbelastung einer Volkswirtschaft ein- fach zu veranschaulichen und somit eine greif- bare Darstellung eines steuerrelevanten The- mas für jedermann zu erreichen. Gerade in Hinblick auf die historische Entwicklung wird somit offenbart, in welche Richtung eine Volkswirtschaft in Bezug auf ihre Steuer- und
Abgabenbelastung steuert. Continue reading

New rules having unintended effects
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel met back in May to discuss changes to college basketball's rules with hopes of improving the game.
Now just over six months later, the negative effects are the ones rearing their heads.
Most notably the monstrous number of fouls called.
The plan was for more points to be scored because the average amount of points scored in games last year was 67.5, the lowest since the 1981-82 season.
That plan has been accomplished and to heights far and above the liking of basketball fans.
So far through three regular season Marshall men's basketball games there have been a total of 177 fouls called, an average of 59 per game.
It has almost made the college game unbearable to watch.
All those fouls called have led to 232 total free throws between Marshall and its three opponents.
Players can no longer hand check, use an arm bar to slow an opposing player down or slide into position to take a charge after the offensive player has left the floor.
No one expected an easy transition from the old to the new.
I doubt anyone believed it would be this drastic of a problem though.
So many fouls and free throws don't allow teams to get into a flow during the game.
The start and stop nature needs to end because the college game is suffering due to the new rule changes.
Could players, coaches and officials adjust to the changes over time?
Sure, but for how much longer must we wait?
I don't think that group wants to continue the season the way it has started, because I sure as heck don't.

Back in the bar, Ryan urges Marissa to leave, just as Lady Heather's graciously calling for a round of applause for Caleb's contributions to the event. Marissa doesn't want her mother "to get away with it," and refuses to go.
Meanwhile, Summer tosses Seth up against a bulkhead and kisses him. They break apart, and then kiss again with even greater urgency. Summer then shoves Seth away: "Oh, God! No!" "Uh, what's happening here?" Seth wonders as Summer backs away from him and collapses onto a bench. "I like Seth Cohen!" she wails, with a look of utter mortification on her face. "You, ah, what now?" he asks, sitting next to her. "Nothing!" she spouts. "I wasn't talking to you! And if you tell anyone what you heard here? I'll kill you." She leaps to her feet and skitters away, leaving the gobsmacked Seth to gape and stammer incoherently to himself. Another cute scene.
Bar. Lady Heather introduces her "beautiful daughter" to the assembled guests, and calls Marissa to the stage to announce the winner of "the romantic getaway raffle." Marissa takes the microphone from her mother with a sly smirk on her face and calls, "How about another round of applause for my mom, and for Caleb Nichol?" Lady Heather basks in the adulation. "After all their hard work," Marissa continues, "if anyone deserves a romantic getaway for two, it's my mom and Caleb." Lady Heather freezes, and then slowly turns to shoot daggers at her daughter with her eyes. "Aren't they the perfect couple?" Marissa asks the goggling throng. Caleb shifts uneasily from foot to foot. Jimmy's stunned. Were The Bad Seed capable of human emotion, she'd be about to cry. "They've been keeping their romance a secret," Marissa continues, "but tonight? The secret's out." She flips the mike back to Lady Heather with a scornful "Congratulations, you guys." Ryan smirks at his girlfriend's brassy cojones while Kirsten chokes back the little bit of vomit she just involuntarily coughed up into her mouth. Marissa manages to keep it together until she's exited the room, at which point she leans against the side of the boat and, closing her eyes, cries a bit. Ryan takes in the stunned reaction to Marissa's tirade, and then silently passes through the guests to leave. Lady Heather passes the microphone to The Bad Seed while hissing, "Don't start with me" at Jimmy. Jimmy snickers and says, "After tonight, I'm done with you. You're Caleb's problem now." The oily photographer snaps a couple of shots of Lady Heather's humiliation, and The Bad Seed tops things off by announcing Kirsten and Sandy as the raffle winners. What are the odds, people? What are the odds?

Seven teenagers have been charged in connection with a Waterloo mall assault that left one man hospitalized.
According to the Waterloo Police Department, police and fire officials were called to the Crossroads Mall at 7:11 p.m. March 12 for a report of an assault. Officers found the victim, 20-year-old Keith D. Hayes, unconscious on the floor near the carousel in the middle of the mall. Witnesses reported that Hayes was assaulted by several black men who hit him and kicked him in the head.
He was taken to Allen Hospital for treatment.
On Tuesday, the Waterloo Police Department announced they have filed disorderly conduct charges against seven of the alleged participants. Four of the alleged assailants are underage and will not be identified by The Gazette. The other three suspects are Tondrell Gary, Jr., Rayshawn Putman and Shavondes Martin. All three men are 18 and live in Waterloo.Police said Gary was shot later that night during an incident on 428 Cherry St. in Waterloo. After police responded to the shooting, they were called to the hospital for the report of a possible fight in the emergency room. Responding officers learned that prior to their arrival, there had been a fight between friends of Hayes and Gary. Hayes was later charged with disorderly conduct for starting the fight at the hospital.

AbstractThe economic crisis observed in Mexico since 2009 has had important social results, such as a rising unemployment, a growing precarious employment, low incomes, lack of social security, increasing levels of poverty, more families with female leadership, among others. This situation has led many Sonoran families to a higher social vulnerability or to reduce the economic and social resources to successfully deal with the adverse situation. As a result of a higher vulnerability, housing became an asset threatened by the economic and social environment. This article analyzes the social policy followed by INFONAVIT in Sonora, aiming to support families which, by different reasons, have stopped paying their housing credits or else are seriously pressured to do it. From 2009 to 2012 a survey was carried out in Sonoran homes and information collected was analyzed taking into account variables, such as: employment, income, expenses, family, gender, and debt. As a conclusion, nowadays families are more vulnerable in an economic and social unfavorable setting.

Danger signs in the US corporate bond market are flashing like a lighthouse's beacon and according to new TABB Group research, the market is searching for new alternatives to trade credit as low interest rates have driven credit issuance to all-time highs.
The challenge, according to Larry Tabb, CEO, and director of fixed income research Will Rhode, co-authors of a new research study, "US Corporate Bond Trading 2013: In Search of a New Market Structure," is that the current OTC market structure revolves around dealer balance sheets and leverage, which today are under siege by regulators and are being scaled back by bank management. "This is pushing the traditional dealer-based, capital-intensive and voice-based market toward electronic channels. While the existing electronic players are active, well used and supported, many of the current structures revolve around existing capital-intensive business models. That leaves the credit market with unmet needs and significant challenges," says Tabb.
After speaking in September with heads of trading of the largest buy-side fixed-income managers and global heads of credit, or heads of credit e-commerce, of the largest bond dealers, TABB Group learned there is uniformly strong demand for a new corporate bond market structure allowing diverse sources of liquidity to find one another as the end of Quantitative Easing (QE) nears. However, warns Rhode, "solving these issues will take investment, guts and breaking (or at least bending) established business models. Improving liquidity in 70,000 corporate bond issues (CUSIPs) is a Herculean task."
Key findings from the study:
- 85% of buy-side and 83% of sell-side firms are interested in seeing an independent platform emerge to facilitate liquidity challenges, but there is no clear consensus on a business model and rules of play.
- The buy side would like to see a Central Limit Order Book (CLOB); dealers lean toward a Session-Based market.
- Dealers are worried about their ability to provide capital amidst new regulations such as Basel III, leverage ratios, stress testing and increased scrutiny of dealer funding through repo.
- Fixed-income mutual funds have absorbed an additional $1.35 trillion of fixed-income assets, In June 2013, when hints of a reversal of the US Federal Reserve's backed up interest rates, mutual investors dumped $200 billion in bond funds in only a few weeks.
- Although a majority of buy-side firms are reluctant to take an ownership stake in a new bond platform, most (buy and sell side) agree that dealers must own a stake in a new platform for it to succeed.
- More than three-quarters of the buy-side said now is the time for an Alternative Trading System (ATS) to emerge to take market share away from the traditional OTC market dealers and existing electronic platform providers.
While the challenges are sufficient enough to foment change, the catalyst for action is not yet in sight. "Nonetheless," says Tabb, "the time may be ripe for a new corporate bond trading platform (or trade protocol) to emerge to challenge the status quo."

Do you watch Orange is the New Black?
If not, Orange is the New Black (aka OITNB) is a television show about women in prison, their unique personalities and personal stories. Season 2 is currently streaming on Netflix. The show has become pretty popular.
When I was a kid, watching cartoons and stuff with my siblings, we'd yell out which characters we were at the TV. Lol I was Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Eleanor – you know, Theodore's girlfriend – from Alvin & The Chipmunks, and Cherie from Punky Brewster. Until that episode where she got trapped in the refrigerator because, Punky & friends were playing Hide & Seek. But, anyway…
Today, there's a more certified way to go about this. Lol Online quizzes!
According to this quiz, I'm Miss Claudette from Orange is the New Black! Which character are you?
Feeling compelled to choose between two different answers on a few questions, I took the quiz a second time and got Morello.
I think I'm a mix of these two characters. Stern, but actually really sweet. Ya know?

Once upon a title like "Soaps In The City" would have excited me to no end…now unfortunately it conjures up images of Cynthia Nixon re-writing Michael Patrick King's scripts, Samantha's cancer being cured by a chip implanted by Mr. Big, Carrie being killed off following a toxic meal at IHOP and the child Charlotte miscarried a few seasons back showing up on her doorstep revealing that Charlotee's WASPY former mother-in-law had him kidnapped, before proceeding to rape Harry while Charlotte watches helplessly as "Love Will Save the World" plays in the background.

Author Interrogation: Genevieve PearsonPosted in Author Information by Krista's Picks
The crazy talented Miss Pearson, author of the Song of the Silvertongue series and Chasing Power (also, amazing contestant on TBS' King of the Nerds), was kind enough to be my very first interviewee, and I gotta say, she did an fantastic job. Check it out below!
Interview with Genevieve Pearson
So, I'll admit I was doing some stalking and I see you were homeschooled 2nd – 8th. I was totally homeschooled too! (2nd – graduation! I totally win….errrrr…yeah)
Homeschooling is a whole bag o' worms, but, on a smaller scale, do you think that's affected your writing at all? How so (or no)?
It definitely affected my writing. First of all, it gave me the free time I needed to invest in reading. By twelve, I'd read practically every children and young adult's book in my local library and was moving on to the adult fantasy and science fiction sections. I devoured books, and my early experience in grade school leads me to believe that sitting in a classroom may have killed my love of reading rather than nurturing it. I also got to spend more time writing. I think there's a reason most of the youngest published authors were home schooled in some capacity–it's because they had extra time to follow their passion. Finally, I think while home schoolers have a reputation of being sheltered, my experience was the opposite. I got to be outside in the world, experiencing life and doing things other kids my age weren't. I was going to work with my parents, but I was also going to museums, hiking, going birding, working on political campaigns, tracking down ghost towns in the Cascade mountains. If my parents had to rely on getting me home so I could be up at 6 AM the next morning, my life would have been much more limited and I wouldn't have had as much to write about. Essentially, I feel being home schooled gave me a head start on my peers by putting me out into the world sooner.
I totally know what you mean, one of the big positives on homeschooling for me was having way more time to pursue my passions.
As a Seattleite myself, I'm curious to know how you would describe growing up in Tacoma (I may have a few preconceived notions…)
Tacoma is a lovely seaside community, with the unique combination of what I'd call the highly literate working class. Everywhere you go in Tacoma there's a lovely view, and it's a little warmer than some of the surrounding towns so our snow melts faster. I grew up in the North End, so I always felt like I was part of a really strong community where everyone knew everyone else. I love that you're driving distance to a big city or the Mountain and the people are super friendly.
Assuming you spent some time in the city (Seattle) What was your favorite hang out?
In Seattle? I like Elliot Bay Bookstore, the UW Bookstore, and Dick's for burgers. In Tacoma, I like Steamer's and Katie Downs and walking on the beach at Point Defiance and of course Half Price Books, which isn't in Southern California!
I'm totally obsessed with Elliot Bay Books! I've spent far too many hours browsing shelves and reading over the staff recommendations (Staff recommendations are my weakness).
I've read quite a few interviews, but one thing I never heard the answer to – how did that whole process happen with getting onto King of the…no, I'm totally kidding. I did read that you would have used some of your prize money from King of the Nerds (had you won) to start a business. (That's totally what I'd do with 10k too!). What kind of business do you want to start?
I want to start Hobby-Con, a convention that celebrates hobbyists and collectors. Some day!
Book stuff:
So, as Revelations is your book I've read, most of these questions will be pertaining to the first book in your series (Though I have every intention of reading the second)
As a self proclaimed nerd of the comic book and sci-fi variety, the biblical end-of-days apocalypse genre is an interesting choice. What was it that caused you to choose that theme for you first big series?
I love stories of regular people against big, immovable forces of nature. I like taking insurmountable odds and epic showdowns and making them as personal as possible. And you don't get a more epic showdown than a Biblical apocalypse. There are so many stories in various religions that are about making hard choices in terrible situations, and those are the types of situations I love to explore with my writing. The rock and the hard place. These moments are when we all have to make that awkward, painful transition from being a 'child' (self-centered, unaware of the larger world) to 'adulthood' (recognizing, caring for, and taking responsibility for things outside of yourself).
I feel like I can sense a little bit of Buffy in Kyrie, or maybe I'm just projecting (my own obsession). What was your inspiration for this character?
I find these questions hard to answer. Stories pop into my head, and the characters are there. I feel like I had to discover Kyrie, but I'm not sure what her inspiration was. I will say that once I started fleshing her out, I tried hard to make her a little more feminine, a little nicer than my other character
Samantha, in Chasing Power, is jaded, pragmatic, and vastly manipulative. She's Moriarty if Moriarty were a good guy. With my next series, I wanted someone who was a bit of her opposite, because a lot of feedback was that Sam was unapproachable as a protagonist. So I came up with Kyrie, who had enough self-awareness that I could tolerate writing her but was still pretty much Sam's opposite: naive, romantic and idealistic. She's basically a knight from King Arthur's court trapped in a woman's body. She wants to be a champion for good and is driven to it by a force she can't fully understand. And unfortunately for her, life takes people like that, chews them up and spits them out. Poor kid.
Seriously, Kyrie has a REALLY hard time in this book and somehow she stays strong. She's a great character.
How did you decide to focus on Kyrie's voice as her ultimate power? It's pretty awesome and unique!
I love building rules into my worlds. I knew right after I had the idea for the book that I had to have rules about the Nephilims' abilities and how they accessed those abilities, or it would drive me crazy. I'm a world builder, and if I'm creating a fantasy world, I always, always, always work out the mechanics of how everything works in those worlds.
In this case, the idea came from the word 'silvertongue,' as in, a 'silver tongued devil.' The silver tongue is all about charming through voice, so the idea of spell casting through voice evolved through there. Since Kyrie loves singing and Meriah is her vocal teacher, spell-singing became a natural extension of that. All Nephilim must vocalize in order to access their powers, however, how they each do so tends to be unique.
Additionally, it's a not so-subtle-metaphor for how Kyrie, as a character, has to find her voice in order to claim her power, which is something we all have to do in life.
So, you made an interesting decision to make THE romantic scene in the movie between Kyrie and a boy not-so-with-the-romantic (you know what I'm talking about): Can you explain your decision to go there?
The long and short of it was that I find the way sex is depicted in the majority of YA novels (the majority of media in general!) problematic . Most novels either avoid the topic completely, demonize sex, or over-romanticize sex and 'the first time.' I feel like there are a lot of false expectations and misconceptions that probably arise as a result. So I knew going in I wanted to be truthful.
I debated for a very long time about how I wanted to write the scene between Kyrie and Aaron. A big part of me wanted to just 'pan to curtain.' But that would be a cop-out. There are a lot of positives going on in that moment: whereas before, she always did things for other people, this is the first time Kyrie really–really truly–does something for her own self. She's taking control over her life in a way she hasn't really done before. Before she can really sacrifice her freedom, she has to experience what it is she is giving up.
But, at the same time, I wanted to be honest: You don't fall in love–deep, romantic love–with someone in the course of two or three days. Kyrie isn't comfortable with Aaron the same way she was comfortable with Nate. She doesn't have knowledge experience in this realm. Aaron's a good guy, but he's just a guy. He's not a magical unicorn who will make everything perfect. Ultimately, I decided to try and present a scene that was realistic to the situation Kyrie was in.
So in short, I decided to write an authentic experience rather than a romantic one, because Kyrie's story isn't about romance so much as it is about finding out who she is and what she is capable of.
I love this answer! I totally agree that the sex in YA novels (much like the sex in movies) is wildly unrealistic. I love that you did this.
How do you feel like your writing and writing style progress with each book that you write?
I feel like I write each book more quickly with the last, and my stories get a little more cinematic and I begin to master the in-between scenes just a bit better than I had before.
I'm hoping they are getting better! I definitely like Genesis more than Revelations, but maybe that's just me. And I know there's good stuff coming, too. I always save the best stuff for last.
Krista's Picks Kuriousity Kwestions:
If you had the awesome task of casting the movie for your book, who would be your dream actress for the role of Kyrie?
Gosh, don't know. Kyrie is of mixed heritage, and there aren't a lot of well known actresses out there who are good actors and have that look. At least that I've seen, and I'll admit I don't always pay attention. Maybe Hailee Steinfeld?
Nice choice!
If you could make up a ships crew of literary characters, who would be on it?
Captain: Miles Vorkosigan from the Miles Vorkosigan Saga.
First Mate: Aaron from Song of the Silvertongue.
Stowaway: Tinker from Tinker.
Chef: Cimorene from Dealing with Dragons.
Cabin Boy: Jackie from Bloody Jack.
Mutinous crew member: George Cooper from The Song of the Lioness.
What would you make bake or buy for the Krista's Picks potluck?
Spinach and sausage pie!
That sounds amazing. You're totally invited to my Potluck!
What contribution to the world do you hope to be able to look back and see when you're old? (both babies and world domination are acceptable answers):
I want to write and direct one of the greatest films of all time.
What's one interview question that you've always wished you would be asked (and your answer of course!)
Question: What's Kyrie's theme song?
Answer: Torpedo, by Jillette Johnson.
What should we be expecting from you next?
I'm working on a few projects. One or two I can't talk about just yet, but I'm also contributing a short story to an upcoming Athena Voltaire trilogy, I have a period horror/thriller in the works, and, of course, there's the next book in the Song of the Silvertongue Series! Kyrie's not out of the woods just yet (ever?) and there's a lot more planned for her.
It sounds like you're staying super busy. I'm excited to read your future books. Thanks again for stopping by Genevieve and letting us know a bit more about yourself. You're always totally welcome!
Check out my recommendation of Revelations: Song of the Silvertongue Book #1
