My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I work in Edinburgh and enjoy my job but looking to go into a new department, which will be terrifying and exciting all at the same time! Was going to do West Highland Way in March but we ended up going to Mallaig instead which was amazing but particularly wet and stormy. Learning to drive, which has been a really slow process but it'll be worth it. Taken up painting again, trying to work with watercolours which I find really hard! I keep repeating to myself less is more, less is more!
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
I'm a good baker,cake calms me! And whether I'm really good or not I love to dance. I enjoy lots of things from arts and crafts to walking. I'm really really good at making a mess. I can't think of anything else, so i guess you'll just have to get to know me to find out more!
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Hmmm, smile
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
This could take years to complete. I read all the time, generally a book a week, if i can. And my current book is A Game of Thrones, which since watching the series had to start the books! Love it! Movies, well there's millions I love to watch them, the most recent has been The Hobbit. And in truth, didn't think it was great! As for shows, I will admit to liking musicals and I'm not shamed damn it! I love food, I'm not picky Ill try anything once
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
My cat (Professor Chaos)
My cat (Professor Chaos)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Everything, Anything, Nothing, Somethings....
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Depends, I'm not often predictable. I maybe out with friends dancing and being generally mental or at home watching crap and drinking tea. I'm a mixed bag
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.

What exactly is Regeneration like to the Doctor?
View Single Post
October 7 2012, 09:29 PM
Location: Orlando, FL
Re: What exactly is Regeneration like to the Doctor?
Yeah, but not really a spirit guide. Apparently Time Lords
skilled in regeneration can project their own future self as a separate being, molding and tweaking them to their own liking, then merging together with the projection come the critical moment. That may have been what Four was seeing in the opening moments of Romana's regeneration - the projections coming out for his approval while Romana was preparing to change back in her room.
Four (who wasn't skilled at all) subconsciously created such a projection - an ghostly, unformed "Watcher" - on his last adventure. Or, as some speculated, Five projected the Watcher backward in time to help Four against the Master (and also gathering his own future Companions together) while reminding him "Hey, time's up, you've had that body long enough, it's my turn now."

It's no shock to my friends that I'm a man with particular tastes. While those particular tastes often happen to be broad, there are some things about which I like working or living in a singular style. In other words, I can be picky. And while that has some upsides, there are plenty of downsides, especially when in a relationship.
Like Barack Obama, I, too, will evolve my thinking through the course of a relationship. (cough) But in all seriousness, I will change in many ways when I make that lifelong relationship with the future Mrs. Michael. But between now and then, I sometimes grow concerned I can be too picky. I should think about these things because I don't want to miss out on someone great because I mistook an issue for a value. Values shouldn't be compromised, but all issues are up for grabs.
To that end, I've prayed about myself. I like my beliefs, but I don't want to get caught up in them so as to miss out on an actual relationship with my wife or with God. Religion is bad for the relationship. (I should coin that.) But while praying one night about this topic, God said very plainly (for as plain as God gets), "Always focus on keeping her free."
Keep her free.
And so I thought about it. Yes. Keep her free. While I have a few must-haves (however potent they may be), with everything else I should keep my "particularness" away. If she's to be my wife, she's already going to want to be with me. We need to focus other's needs above our own to help keep each other satisfied. Passion will come and go, fights, too, but keep the focus and the effort on supplying the other's needs. It doesn't mean you subserviate yourself, but in a relationship, you're dedicated to each other and what each other wants and needs to do in life. By ever focusing on each other, it's harder to get selfish. Not impossible, by any means, but it provides some security.
And so after thinking about it, I realized I have much more to learn as to how to accomplish that, but for a man like me, knowing the principle begets all successful effort.
Then, like a single cloud upon the wind, I realized something rather profound about the relationship between a man and his wife, and that of God to us.
There's an old saying that if you love something enough, you'll set it free, and if it comes back to you, it's meant to be. This scratches the surface of why God does not always rush in to our rescue.
No one likes to acknowledge that we humans actually a bunch of children, because we are exactly that. We whine when God won't do things for us, won't take care of us, won't kiss our ills, and then we grow furious he won't let us do whatever we please and live like we want. It's how all of us behave at one point or another.
And we're all children from that point from of view.
However, from a different point of view, God loves us like a bride. (You'll have to dissociate the two elements). In the regard that we are to build a lasting and loving relationship with God, he approaches us, his Bride, in much the same way he wants me to approach my future wife — with freedom.
You see, real love doesn't commit enslavement. For all we might willingly bind ourselves to our spouses and loved ones, we may not enslave them to that point, else the love is shaky and cannot be trusted. Can I trust a slave who says she loves me? Perhaps she thinks she does. Or loves me because I provide her food, clothing and shelter. Or, most likely, she says that in order to prevent my ire.
But God, in all his many facets and faces, wants to love us first and foremost, and by that token, he wants to see surely that our love for him is free and full in kind. Because of that, He will not rescue you from your every mistake, whisk you away from every tragedy, or keep you from the reality of your existence. No husband, in however hopeful a mind, could responsibly bottle up his wife away from the world and expect that her continual love remains founded on the belief that she chose him over other suitors, other lovers, other situations. And for however much we pledge eternal love on our wedding days, such words are meaningless against the hard truth that real love requires a daily, hourly, and sometimes moment-to-moment commitment if it is to remain strong, healthy and pervasive.
God chose to keep us free. God chose to love us employing the most powerful tool he had — freedom. By freedom, he validates our choices my making them ours. By love, he comes in from the other side and draws us toward Him with compassion, strength, and the hope of change — the kind of change on inside, the kind you need more than lower taxes or better government programs, an easier life and less stress.
So, if God kept me free, how could I ever ask any differently of my future wife? And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a fine, fine goal.

Title: Itazura na Kiss
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Artist: Kaoru Tada
Publisher: Shueisha (JP), Digital Manga (US)
Serialized in: Margaret
Translation: Sachiko Sato
Kotoko has yet to best her new romantic rival Yuko, whether it's at tennis or stealing Naoki's heart. After Kotoko fails miserably at following Naoki and Yuko on a date, things take an unexpected turn when Naoki announces that he's getting a part time job and moving out! Not one to be separated from her love, Kotoko is quick to find out where Naoki works…but why is he going home with Yuko!?
This third volume is more of what we've come to expect from Itazura na Kiss. In this case that's never a bad thing; but while the omnibus format gives you more bang for your buck, the consistently charming over-the-top antics necessitate taking a breather between chapters. While the biggest drama in the volume is arguably Naoki striking out on his own, we also have the intro of Chibi the dog who, despite his Japanese namesake meaning "small," is anything but. Kotoko tries desperately to hide her lack of fondness for the big mutt from the Irie family, but naturally Naoki enjoys watching Kotoko squirm. Tada also hits on the beloved "we're forced to spend the night together because of snowstorm" cliché; you can't help but laugh at but also feel for Kotoko and her nerves, but we also get an unexpected glimpse into Naoki. He assures Kotoko that nothing will happen between them, because that would be "handing the reins of our lives" to Naoki's mother. Perhaps Naoki hopes that a love between him and Kotoko would develop more organically?
Still, even in this third volume, Naoki seems impenetrable as a character, at least as far as his feelings toward Kotoko go. Does he like Kotoko or is he just constantly annoyed by her? Thus far Kotoko has mainly been a catalyst for Naoki to examine his own life, but not necessarily a romance interest. It seems like Naoki cares about Kotoko somewhat, but I can't help but think he sees her as just an amusing diversion in an otherwise sheltered life. Still, something's swirling around in Naoki's mind, with him suddenly deciding to move out, picking up a job, altering his college plans, and refusing to fall into his mother's love traps. Perhaps because we've seen so much of Kotoko this far, but I could easily understand if Naoki falls for her, but vice versa…the guy's just so darn aloof and prickly. That being said, the dramatic end of volume 3 serves as a definite turning point in their relationship.
Itazura has got in hooks in me, for sure. If Naoki can just soften up — just a tad — I can completely love this series. I was a little unsure about this series initially, but it's remained compellingly light-hearted and funny. I'll definitely be on the lookout for the rest of the series.

KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — Police in Georgia have identified the gunman who shot six people at a FedEx package-sorting center before taking his own life.
The Cobb County Police Department says in a news release that the gunman was 19-year-old Geddy L. Kramer of Acworth.
The news release says Kramer drove up to a guard shack and shot the security guard inside, then went in and shot five more people.
Three of the victims were critically wounded, though only one remained in critical condition by Tuesday afternoon. Police say three were in stable condition, and two others were treated and released.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- There's no second act for celebrities on "Dancing
With the Stars."
ABC Entertainment Chairman Paul Lee said Thursday that was the lesson from
the past few months, when the network brought back some favorite contestants
from its long-running competition series and the show fell flat.
Emmitt Smith, Bristol Palin, Pamela Anderson and winner Melissa Rycroft came
back for the all-star edition. But Nielsen said viewership was down 21 percent
on Monday nights from the previous fall.
Lee said it was clear that viewers enjoyed the journey of celebrities
learning how to dance, instead of coming in with skills already learned.

Wine Enthusiast rating:

Winemaker's Notes:
This Carneros-designated Blanc de Noirs has a delicate copper color and fruit aromas of strawberry and cherry overlaid with warm cocoa from Pinot Noir. Its softer cousin Pinot Meunier contributes a warm spice, almost clove character with overtones of orange peel and freshly baked bread. To enhance this Cuvee 391, wines from the 1991 vintage were blended with selected 'vin de reserve' held back from previous years. 1991 was characterized by cool conditions during maturation and harvest, critical to flavor development for sparkling wine. Three years of aging lends this wine breadth and body, while retaining its freshness and fruitiness. The balance is stylishly crisp, reflecting the Carneros region's full ripe flavors.

About Domaine Chandon:
As the first American sparking wine venture by a French Champagne house (Moet & Chandon), Domaine Chandon has been a leader in sparkling wine production since 1973. Bringing hundreds of years of winemaking tradition and experience to the Napa Valley, Chandon's principal achievement has been to craft a range of sparkling wines that reflect California's vibrant regional character, yet remain true to the practices of
methode traditionnelle
. In 1990, the winery parlayed its experience with the classic Champagne varieties into an exciting varietal wine collection. Domaine Chandon continually strives to seek new ways to heighten its reputation as the fullest hospitality experience in Napa Valley, and to provide its guests with inspiration to entertain with Chandon at home.

I am trying to install CM11 on my Galaxy S3 International, but get the following error when I try and update my Recovery and OS
When I boot into Download mode, it shows the Custom Binary counter as "No", which also stops me from adding any custom ROM's or Recoveries via Odin, which doesn't even detect the phone. USB debugging mode has been enabled
When I boot up into Recovery, it immediately shows the little android character on its side with a red exclamation mark, saying that no command was opened or given
This phone was given to me stock, as it wsa used by a family member who never messed around with anything on it except making calls and sending messages. It still has the stock Samsung ROM on it, android v4.3
I have tried sideloading Superuser, Recovery and CM11 to it, but that just gives me a signature verification error as well

Langkawi Cable Car and Oriental Village Tour
Langkawi Island Tours
The Langkawi Cable car and Oriental Village Tour takes you on a cable car ride to the top of Gunung Matchincang. As the gondola-style cab makes its way to the top you can get a bird's eye view of legendary Langkawi as well as numerous outlying islands in the distance; Oriental Village, the home of the cable car, is a great place to visit. The mini town - situated at the base of the geo-park's mountain range – has more than a few attractions; the tour continues on with breathtaking views of many islands surrounded by the vast clear-blue sea. Here you will be able to see the SkyBridge which hovers at 700 metres above sea level at the peak of Gunung Mat Chinchang.
After that, soak up the sun at 'Pantai Pasir Hitam' - known as Black Sand Beach; this shoreline is distinctive due to its almost opaque black sand. End your day with a relaxing visit to the Langkawi Wildlife Park set amidst a natural rainforest and featuring an exotic array of Langkawi's furry and feathered friends.
Please take note that the skybridge Langkawi is closed for maintainance until further notice. The cable car is operating as normal.

1992 Plymouth Voyager • 224,462 miles
Hi, ihave a 1992 plmyouth grand voyager le 3.3 lit.I have gone thru most of you guys questions and answers in your list to find a answer to my problem. The ingition when key is turned to start position will not turn engine over. When I install a jumper wire from the ground to the terminals 85 or 86 on starter, fuel pump, and asd relays the motor will turn over like it should. I have 12v at coil when I first turn it on and in the start postion. But it will not start up. I have installed a new fuel pump, coil, camshaft sensor, crank sensor and timming chain. And it will not start up and run. Is there a ground wire i'm missing because the relays will operate with the ground wire hooked up like this?What am I over looking, or not doing right. Thanks for all the guidenceyou can give.

The computer grounds those relays. Did you check to see if the wire is broken up to the computer?
Sep 24, 2012.
Sep 24, 2012.
I traced them you have a ground to the block, one to the frame below the batt. And one that splits in the harrness to the relays on the firewall andsplits into 2 other wires and they all seem to be ok by an ohms test.
What wire or wires feeds 12v to the computer from the ing. Switch?And wich ones are the grnd or grnds to the fuel pump, asd, start, relaysand coil?
Sounds like you have a simple defective neutral safety switch. If you're providing ground for the starter relay coil, and it cranks from the ignition switch, you're doing what the neutral safety switch is supposed to do.

Thanks i'll give it a test and pray thats it I slowly going crazy over this
Can't let you go crazy. That only happens to professionals. If necessary we can guide you through testing the four parts of the circuit to see which one has the problem right from the starter relay socket.

Begin (ビギン Bigin?, IPA: [biɡiɴ], stylized as BEGIN) is a Japanese pop rock group from Ishigaki Island in the Yaeyama Islands of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Their sound contains many elements of traditional Okinawan music, and prominently features the sanshin.
The members of Begin – Eishō Higa (比嘉栄昇?) (sanshin, vocals), Masaru Shimabukuro (島袋優?) (guitar), and Hitoshi Uechi (上地等?) (piano) – are all from Ishigaki Island. They have been friends since elementary school. They also attended the same senior high school but upon graduation all intended to go their separate ways. One day, Eishō gathered the members together again and they began to focus on music. On December 5, 1988, they sang at a friend's wedding, calling themselves "Begin" for the first time. Soon they began to become famous. As of 13 November 2006[update] they have released 22 singles, 24 albums and 8 DVDs. Perhaps their most famous song is "Nada Sōsō", a collaboration between Begin and Ryōko Moriyama. Begin has had at least one song appear on the NHK program Minna no Uta. They are also the performers of the "Ichariba Ohana" and "Izayoi Yoi", the opening and first ending themes of the Disney-produced anime series Stitch!.
Selected songs[edit]
- "Blue Snow" (1990)
- "Koishikute" (恋しくて?, 1990)
- "Sora ni hoshi ga aru yōni" (空に星があるように?, 1997, 2000)
- "Nada Sōsō" (涙そうそう?, 2000)
- "Akari" (灯り?, 2001)
- "Shimanchu nu Takara" (島人ぬ宝?, 2002)
- "Sanshin no hana" (三線の花?, 2006)
- "Egao no manma" (笑顔のまんま?, 2009)

Kim Kardashian insists age should be no barrier to love, as the key to successful relationships is finding a ''connection''.
Kim Kardashian thinks age is no barrier to love.
The 29-year-old star - who recently insisted she was not romantically interested in 16-year-old Justin Bieber - believes the key to a successful relationship is making a "connection".
She said: "The oldest I'd date? I once went out with someone who was almost 50. I do like someone young and fun, but not 16 young, more like 26 young.
"Whoever your soul connects with, whoever you fall in love with no matter what the age. However, it might seem good when you're 25 and they're 50 but when you're 50 and they're75."
The brunette beauty believes she never went off the rails when she was younger because her father wanted her to be "responsible" for her older sister Kourtney Kardashian, and even taught her to drive when she was just 14.
She explained to US TV host Jay Leno: "I've never been a drinker, I've never gotten into drugs, I have such a close family. My sisters do enough drinking to fill up the whole family so from a young age my dad made it clear I was the responsible one.
"And he taught me how to drive when I was 14 in case my sister or her friends were going to be drinking, and I had always had permission to drive, or else I had to call him from the destination to the final place...So I always felt this sense of pride that he had In Me as the responsible one, so I've always wanted to make him proud."
However, the reality TV star - who is dating NFL player Miles Austin -has finally found an alcoholic beverage she likes after promising her sisters she would be "less boring" before reaching 30.
She explained: "I hate the taste of alcohol."
"I did say that, at 30, I'm going to have a drink to lighten up because my sisters say I'm so boring. So I tried a White Russian a few months ago...It tastes like chocolate milk, and it's kind of amazing."
A White Russian is a cocktail made from vodka, coffee liqueur and milk.

How cunning? As cunning as a fox who has just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University. But which plan are we talking about?
March 2, 2011 1:29 by Samuel Potter
Kipp has talked about happiness at work many times before. Usually our rants are inspired by some piece of research or other, something that reveals how disenchanted we are with our employers or, as in the case of the Great Places To Work Initiative, something that tells us how much better our companies would perform if we were happier at work.
And today is no different, after the latest Bayt.com survey landed on our desk (they seem to arrive every month, just like clockwork; handy when you have a word count to meet). This particular release rather modestly buries the really big, headline number, deep in the content. Why? Given it's an employment agency maybe they figured most people would dismiss the stat as being a set up, but we know the Bayt bunch to be good people so we'll bring it front and centre: In the Bayt 'Good Working Conditions' poll, 94.3 percent of respondents, out of more than 12,000, said they are currently on the hunt for a new job.
Let that sink in for a second. More than nine out of 10 of us are looking for work elsewhere. Look around your office now – nine out of every 10 colleagues and employees is looking for job somewhere else.
A Bayt press release filler-outer puts that stat down to a "natural tendency to believe the grass is greener on the other side and to continuously seek out new opportunities as the Middle Eastern employment market betters." To some extent that may be true, but Kipp can't help thinking that's being awfully dismissive of an incredibly large statistic. Nine out of every 10 employees is currently on a job hunt. Even allowing for a margin of error that still means a vast majority are unsettled.
Why should this be? Maybe it is a natural inclination to see the grass as greener. But that in turn could be because everyone's working situation is so miserable they think the grass can't fail to be greener, and that comes down to the management, and to their current company.
Which leads to the nest question: Why don't employers do something about it? It can't be good to have most of the staff looking for jobs elsewhere. Obviously, they don't do anything about it because they can't or they won't. If they can't, fair enough, but if they won't, why not? Kipp believes they have a cunning plan (Yes, we got there eventually).

So cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel?
You've just described not only the current situation, with my employe, but also the recruit, motivate and retain strategy that's used.
Was this a poll done on their website? If so, I am assuming that most people (94.3% perhaps?) who visit Bayt.com ARE looking for a new job …. As for the 5.7% of people who said they were not looking, perhaps they were trying to fill positions in their companies.
