Chapter 5: Conglomeration of Feelings and Mysteries (Part Three)
By: Sokai
Disclaimer: To be short and frank, I do not nor will I (sadly) ever own the great workings of Harry Potter, Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, or W.I.T.C.H. I'm not that talented. I am, however, talented enough to manage to concoct this chaotic fanfic combining all three worlds, and manage to make it all look good/easy, owning the storyline and any new spells or attacks I might create (although, clearly having been inspired by said series/book). So, alas, I dare you not to enjoy this undoubtedly bumpy ride alongside me! Ha! Okay, okay; I'll shut up now, especially since this wasn't short OR frank. HeHe Still . . . enjoy reading (AND leaving massive reviews!).
Note: And finally, part three of chapter five. Would you believe that I still haven't posted all of it after this, and had to push the rest into chapter six? Why? Because it was close to forty pages. Wonderful (for me, anyway, but a lot of you hate long chapters). Anyhow, I at least know that definitely Senshi of Valis, Lennex and Shadow Crystal Mage will be happy to see this story updated. Enjoy.
This chapter was written/created in November 2005.
Hotaru sat patiently at her desk inside of the empty and dimly lit classroom, waiting for her first evening class to begin. Although the classroom -- the entire castle, really -- was rather intimidating at night, for whatever reason it did not bother her.
Then again, being alone (especially within her bedroom at night, with only the faint, glowing warmth of her fairly new collection of lamps to keep her company) was in actuality one of her most favorite of pass times. Hotaru wasn't entirely sure why that was, either, although she supposed it was because it was then that she'd feel the most like herself . . . perhaps, even, the true her that she was still very much in the process of discovering.
Before Hotaru continued on with her contemplations of self-discovery, the door to the dank classroom slowly creaked open with a heavy groan to her right. Expecting to see a rather large gaggle of fellow students bustling inside (as there was now a few minutes left to the beginning of class), only a familiar, average-height and honey-eyed young woman hesitantly entered with a faint look of confusion riddled across her smooth visage.
Hotaru looked upon the girl with slight interest after noticing her presence, watching her make her way towards her. Even though she'd seen the girl once before, it was only at that moment that Hotaru was truly acknowledging her existence.
Of course, it wasn't to say that she was conceited or what not -- it was simply that, at the time of their meeting, class had been starting (not to mention that Hotaru had been extremely preoccupied with her intense thoughts, as well -- much like how she now was yet again). So therefore, it wasn't as though she had had enough time to gather a strong assessment of the other girl . . .
". . . Hotaru, right? Are you here for the night lesson, too?" Hotaru heard the girl ask her as she carefully slid into the seat next to her with slight timidness, much as she had during their first shared class of Defense Against the Dark Arts earlier that day.
Hotaru gazed curiously at the faintly blushing young woman as she began to take in her appearance. Wearing her long, black school robes that protectively concealed the knee-length, gray skirt and white, male-resembling dress shirt, the two women looked almost identical -- save three very distinct differences.
Although their uniforms honestly were alike, the long, diagonally striped tie that lay against their chests and securely fastened around their neck were each vastly different in color. While Hotaru's tie reflected a sort of drab -- even perhaps browbeating combination of deep green and pale silver, the other girl's tie almost beamed with an exuberant confidence of maroon and gold.
Even the insignia of the girl's house, Gryffindor, seemed to give off an unmatched, prideful gleam upon her bosom; meanwhile, Hotaru's Slytherin emblem instead glared back with an almost malevolent resilience.
Besides those two deviations between them closing-wise, there was also the drastic physical disparity in hair color and length. The vaguely smaller girl had fashioned her crimson colored locks into an attractive, slightly tousled bob. By contrast, Hotaru's ebony tresses, with its natural lavender streaks and faint purple sheen, cascaded effortlessly down her well toned back and tickled her ankles without a single strand out of place.
By that point, Hotaru had at last realized that she had been merely gawking at the red head next to her with a slightly intense look without a word, causing the other girl's blush to deepen at that.
Feeling her own cheeks lightly heating up, Hotaru cleared her throat and bestowed a small smile onto the girl in apology.
"Sorry about that . . . Will . . . I was just . . . thinking of all of the homework that I still have left to finish before tomorrow . . ." she offered, gently tapping a long fingernail upon her notebook in front of her as though in emphasis. "And yes, I am here for the night lesson . . . I guess it's safe to assume that you are, as well, huh?"
The girl whose name Hotaru had timely remembered to be Will gazed thoughtfully back at her with her light brown -- almost reddish -- eyes and returned the smile.
"Oh, yeah? That's great! At least now I know that I didn't get lost on the way. My other friends should be here at any minute as well -- well, twenty seconds, if that clock is right. I wonder how many students from the program will be in here with us at once, and how much more homework we'll get.
I could barely keep up with my classes, or keep my gradesup back home, either and -- Oh . . . uh . . . forget it . . . I can tell that I'm boring you . . . Besides, that was probably 'T.M.I.' or something, too . . ." Will trailed off, laughing nervously as she looked down at her belongings upon the desk and began to play with her quill by dunking and re-dunking it into her ink bottle.
Shaking her head vigorously, Hotaru looked at Will curiously before asking,
"Why would you think that, Will? Even though we've just met today, I rather enjoy your company. You seem very thoughtful and nice . . ."
Now it was her turn to trail off suddenly as the last of her descriptive words effortlessly escaped from her lips. Her mind instantly flashed back to a time -- a memory, that she could not honestly seem to recall ever happening before, and yet . . . nonetheless seemed superbly familiar to her all the same:
"I'd bought you a new lamp to add to your collection, Hota-chan! This one's extra special, because it has a neat purple firefly painted on it!" Hotaru heard a jovial sounding girl say to her while extending the delicate gift out to her.
"Thanks so much! But it's only extra special because you gave it to me! You're always so very thoughtful and nice towards me!"
Before Hotaru could understand or see (especially that of the mysterious girl who'd given her the gift and continued to be curiously shrouded in darkness, and how, despite the fact that it was Japanese that was being spoken, it was still comprehended) anymore of her bizarre vision, it had instantly evaporated away from her mind, leaving just as quickly as it had come.
Her current facial expression must had been alarming, for Hotaru suddenly felt Will reach out for her as though an expert at either witnessing or having dizzy spells, herself.
"Just take it easy, Hotaru! You all right? You don't look so good . . . You look pale and rigid . . . Just . . . take deep, slow breaths . . ."
Nodding slowly, while doing as she had been instructed, Hotaru smiled softly at Will in gratitude and reassurance as her violet gems observed her molasses orbs.
Now even her eyes are beginning to . . . remind me of something -- and not just her hair, she mused. But of what . . .?
Before Hotaru could further mentally mull it over, more students had at that moment barreled into the classroom, heavy pants escaping from out of their mouths while distraught, bug-eyed looks plastered themselves upon each of their visages.
"Hey, you guys! I was getting worried that you'd never make it! Although, to be fair, it did take me quite a while to drag myself out of bed after my nap before our lesson. Remind me never to do that again," Will smirked after having made certain that Hotaru was truly all right, before then veering her attention to the reopened door to acknowledge the several women (who were obviously her friends) continue to stumble inside of the room and spread themselves out accordingly into the array of still vacant seats.
As Will turned around in her seat to candidly gossip with the two women now behind them (an Asian girl with long, glossy black pigtails, and an African American young woman with warm brown eyes) Hotaru allowed herself to be momentarily forgotten, which didn't trouble her, as it was blatant, the closeness the three shared.
Besides, Hotaru's eyes had then something else to preoccupy her. Making their way to their seats were four of the five mysterious Japanese young women who had attacked her that morning, all of them having seemed extremely adamant about something -- about her at the time. She'd also seen them again at their shared Elemental Magic class, with the credibly eccentric Professor Latnemele Tirips, where they'd seemed just as mesmerized by her.
Tonight -- right now, however, they didn't so much as flinch, let alone make any sort of gesture toward her once they'd entered the classroom. Although, judging by their lank, fatigued expressions decorated upon their faces, Hotaru surmised that they were simply far too tired to have taken notice of her presence just yet -- something she oddly felt disappointed by.
Regardless, there was at least one of them, the smallest of the five and the last to stroll inside that did seem to see her, and immediately began to forge and maintain a concentrated, awkward stare between them.
Hotaru continued to watch the small, crystalline blue-eyed girl with her unique, pig-tailed, rabbit ears-resembling blonde hairstyle as she remained planted near the door. Hotaru wasn't entirely sure why she'd bothered to dignify the peculiar woman's presence with even a mere glance, but as she continued to look into her pools of cool blue, increasingly saddened eyes, she still couldn't help but to feel strangely . . . serene.
With everything . . .
Groaning lightly to herself, Hotaru shook her head and willed herself to look away, before the dizzy spell she'd suddenly felt returning could escalate.
"Using your body as a natural barricade will not prevent me from entering to teach this inconsequential class -- however much I might personally wish that it could," softly said a distinctly cold and detached voice Hotaru immediately recognized to be owned by Professor Severus Snape, despite her eyes having just been averted away from the door.
A tiny shiver ran down her spine as she avoided looking up to watch the tall, thin and black robe-clad man enter for a moment.
While the young Egyptian had known that she would have both Astronomy and Double Potions
that evening, she had personally hoped that the latter would have
been canceled, as she understood that Snape taught it. The man simply
gave her the most uneasy feeling within the pit of her stomach, since
having first laid eyes upon him during the Sorting Hat Ceremony feast
the previous night -- and so, what the surprise it had been to learn
that not only was he her teacher, but also the head of her
At least, thankfully, he'd yet to truly observe her existence, so having that bit of knowledge put her nerves at ease for the moment.
Finally deciding to look up away from her desk, Hotaru watched the blushing blonde near the doorway murmur a quick, soft and embarrassing apology before rushing to a seat at the back, while Professor Snape, with his long, greasy black hair that did very little to draw attention away from his thin, hook-nose that took up most of his pale and intimidating face, moved to the front of the class, hands clasped tightly together and placed diligently against his chest.
"My, my . . . I must say, this is a pity . . . not a Slytherin in sight -- save one . . ." he commented, narrowing his coal black eyes at Hotaru with faint pride and instant favoritism shining within them.
Hotaru felt herself beginning to blush lightly as a multitude of eyes descended upon her in notation. Sadly, she had been foolishly mistaken to believe that she had been invisible to the menacing man . . .
"On that note, I can honestly say that only some of you will master the potions I will teach you during these unfortunate night lessons, and some of you will not . . . and by that some, I mean the rest of you ladies . . ." Professor Snape emphasized, scanning the rest of the small class with accusatory and condescending eyes before immediately whirling around in his spot to walk to his desk.
"Now, then . . . For those of you who have yet to take my class earlier today, I am Professor Severus Snape, professor of . . . Double Potions . . ." he paused with clear disdain riddled within his doldrum-like voice, as though the fact of his teaching position caused him great displeasure. "I understand that I am to teach you the most basic of potions during these separate lessons and work our way up, while all the while still learning some of the more challenging potions during the day at the same time . . ." he continued, unfurling his bony hands and lightly beginning to tap a finger against the desk.
"Because, supposedly, where all of you are from, you are each extraordinary witches, and so therefore can handle the more stronger spells and potions . . . Of course, if that is indeed the case, then I do not honestly see any reason why you would need my instructions on the more trivial of potions, and cannot simply relearn them all on your own and within your own time if you must . . ."
"Sir . . . ? We . . . don't understand . . . I thought --"
"-- Oh! S-sorry we're late, sir -- er, professor! Took a wrong turn!"
Hotaru and the rest of the bodies within the room all turned to see two female strays, another blonde while the other had light brown hair, the both of them panting with cheeks flushed.
While the rest of the room's occupants might have been sympathetic, as the castle was rather spacious, Professor Snape was anything but.
I wonder if he would be towards me, since he seems to acclaim those who are within his house, mentally observed Hotaru as she looked inquisitively at the now slightly sneering man, whose chilling eyes pierced daggers straight through each woman's body as the duo quickly shuffled to the closest seat they could reach before incurring their instructor's wrath.
"Apparently, promptness is not a trait either of you seem to possess . . . and the both of you, Miss Hale and Miss Lair, are in Gryffindor house, yes?" Snape inquired with false intrigue as he made his way over to their desk.
"Y-yes, sir . . . We are . . . and actually, Cornelia's the only one of us with the 'prompt gene' within her. I, on the other hand, never seem to know when I'm coming or going," joked the light haired girl, obviously trying to lighten the mood despite the now extremely tight atmosphere.
Hotaru watched the girl's broad smile instantly melt away as both Snape and the blonde next to her stared hard at her without an ounce of humor coursing within their eyes.
Clearly she has not yet officially met this guy before now . . . otherwise, I don't think that she would have bothered to try joking around with him like that . . . thought Hotaru humanely, as Snape opened his mouth to speak once more.
"You don't seem to know how to still your tongue, Miss Lair. Five points taken from Gryffindor for your tardiness, with an additional point for your . . . colorful remark . . ." he delivered, before turning abruptly around to walk back to his seat. He didn't get far, however, as he and his pupils heard the brunette curiously mutter to her blonde friend,
"Points? What the heck's he talking about? Like demerits or something?"
Hotaru could almost feel the entire class collectively groan inwardly upon hearing this, for they now knew as she did that it was obvious that Professor Severus Snape was not at all a person to be reckoned with . . . It was simply a shame that that girl hadn't seemed to catch on quite yet.
"Another five points from Gryffindor, for that smart retort, Miss Lair," said Snape without bothering to turn around, his body visibly stiffening as though trying to suppress a much wanted outburst. "If I were you, Miss Hale, I would prevent your friend from saying anymore while within my presence . . . unless, of course, you and the rest of your fellow housemates enjoy losing points. In which case, by all means . . ."
As Hotaru watched the head of Slytherin house re-approach the front of class to resume his lesson, she began to wonder if she'd been placed into the right house, and moreover, why . . .
Irma could barely focus upon any of the words that that god-awful man was currently droning out in his irritably soft and slightly monotone voice. The reason? She was far too busy fuming! It wasn't her fault that her new school apparently had a mind of its own -- well, the stairs, anyway -- and randomly decided to change the directions to different locations on a person at will.
Which was exactly what had happened to Irma and Cornelia on their way to their first night lesson, after Irma had successfully found the blonde to apologize for whatever it was she'd said to her that had upset her earlier that day.
Even though it had initially been Will's idea to do so, Irma did want to clear the air before any form of resentment could linger between the two of them (and even though it pained the brunette more than anything to be the first one to have done so).
And so, when Irma had at last located the sophisticated blonde neatly seated outside of the Great Hall, decoratively surrounded by her school books with her head buried inside of one, Irma had done just that.
"I don't really know why you took anything I'd said today personally -- as you never have before, and we always squabble anyway -- but I'm so sorry if I hurt you, Corny . . ." she'd apologized, the "sorry" that had escaped from her lips having tasted like acid that she'd had to say it to Cornelia of all people.
That is, Irma absolutely hated to relent to Cornelia, just as much as Cornelia did to her in contrast. That was one thing of many that hadn't really changed within their relationship as they'd grown older in the past several years.
As good of friends as they were, the two teenagers had never been the closest of friends, completely opposite in every imaginable way. While Irma was traditionally the laid-back joker, Cornelia was quiet, poised and refined, and usually only spoke whenever she felt that she just had to offer some kind of rebuttal to usually something Irma would say, if not Will.
The Water and Earth Guardians were like oil and water -- unable to ever truly mix, however still managing to just barely coincide with the other. And, as far as Irma was concerned, she didn't suspect that that would ever change.
"What was that, Irma? I don't think I heard you . . ." Irma bitterly recalled Cornelia had purposely said with growing amusement, although her blue eyes had also gradually begun to sparkle with affectionate gratitude (which was probably the only reason why Irma had bothered to apologize once more after that, which had felt far less of a chore to have actuated).
It was during moments like that that Irma had also realized, despite their immense personality differences, the two girls had still managed to remain loyal and reliable friends to one another, miraculously, and perhaps would continue to be in the future.
Because she always has my back as I have hers as teammates -- although, I don't think she honestly does right now, she thought morosely, feeling Cornelia glare daggers at her from her seat next to her at their shared desk every so often, at the same time that Irma tried not to do so to their professor (whom she'd by then surmised to be the evil incarnate).
Irma was acutely aware that, no matter how infuriated she felt at that moment for the injustice perpetrated against her the very moment that she'd stepped into the classroom, Cornelia was currently boiling. And it wasn't because of their joint point deduction and humiliation (as hair-pulling as Irma was sure that had been for the older girl), but because of the fact that she'd been late to one of her classes on not only the first day, but ever.
Well, that Irma was personally aware of, anyway.
One of the things that Cornelia detested more than anything was being late, not just her classes, but to anything: late to skating practice; late to dinner; late to know the latest gossip or purchase the latest fashion trends, even.
About the only other thing that Irma could recall Cornelia disliking more was when others were late for a shared responsibility (yet another reason why the two continued to bump heads a lot, as "late" was practically Irma's middle name).
So, therefore, she already knew of the fierce tongue-lashing that was in store for her once she and Cornelia were awarded the first chance to freely speak again.
Thanks a lot, Snape, you snake. I'd just finished getting Cornelia off my back for one thing; now, I'm gonna have to get her off my back for yet another thing, Irma thought regrettably, before finally forcing herself to pay better attention to what the dark instructor was saying.
". . . So therefore, because the potion I plan to teach you will take precisely two hours to make, mine will be the only lesson for this evening -- your Professor Meiou has expressed her . . . solemn apologies to being unable to teach you after our lesson's conclusion . . ." Irma heard Professor Snape say with distinct boredom as he made his way slowly around the room.
He's bored? I'm bored, tired, and hungry! And I gotta be stuck here for two whole hours with this windbag! This might as well be detention, since this now feels like a prison, Irma thought severly, resisting the urge to yawn loudly for slight fear that Snape would undoubtedly retract yet another five points away from her house, something she still didn't quite understand.
I hope this potion will at least enable us to make a couple burgers and fries or something useful to me . . .
". . . Now, I truly hope that none of you will waste my time, effort, as well as patience, by being unable to properly concoct this potion," Snape began, eyeballing every female present before making his way back to the front of the classroom. "Or my breath, as the ingredients are not listed within your book. So, I'd suggest that you take superb notes and pay supremely close attention, as I will not repeat myself . . ."
Not waiting for any woman to object or raise a hand to comment, Professor Snape continued, his voice noticeably becoming more excited.
". . . The potion, 'Amiculum Mors Mortis,' is appropriately named 'Death Veil,' for if brewed correctly, it allows the drinker it to effectively pierce through the veil that separates life and death, and then teeter between both sides for a specific amount of time . . .
To the untrained eye, it would appear as though the drinker has indeed perished, as the body becomes rather stringent, cold and lifeless -- all of the traditional traits of the deceased. Even the heart has, by that point, slowed down to a barely traceable beat . . . However, the person is very much alive, and it is merely their soul that has all but detached itself from its host for a while . . .
This potion was originally used to ward off enemies that might wish to . . . dispose of the drinker in their own way . . . However, it was soon found out the hard way of the 'lasting' effects this potion can have . . . which is why this is now one of the many no longer practiced and forbidden potions . . ." he finished, his usually deadpan, black eyes beginning to shimmer with great intrigue upon the eerie subject.
"So . . . then if it is forbidden, how come we're about to learn it, professor?" Ami suddenly asked wearily at her desk directly in front of Snape.
". . . Why, for the experience, of course, Miss Mizuno. I am completely confident that perhaps none of you will amalgamate the potion successfully, as not many have since its first creation. However, mayhap you will still miraculously learn something in the process," said Snape with nonchalance, lightly waving his hand in dismissal towards the blue haired girl. "After I've put the ingredients onto the board, you may begin . . . and I suggest that you don't dillydally, either . . ."
Irma briefly scanned the class to gage each of their reactions to their apparently demoniacal professor, and his less than substantial courtesy toward them that every other teacher had thus far that day.
Each girl within the room currently displayed mixed signs of apprehension, confusion, and even inadequateness. Even always "cool and collected" Cornelia was looking a little pale as she watched Professor Snape magically display the ingredients onto the blackboard with the help of his wand, before she began to organize them around their shared cauldron she'd brought with her.
"Can you believe this guy, eh, Corny? And I thought Principal Knickerbocker was strict. This guy's like a cross between Knickerbocker and my dad, with the 'lovable' nature of Lord Cedric or even Nerissa!" whispered Irma to Cornelia as quietly as she could, trying to re-break the obvious ice that had reformed between them.
She may be annoyed with me -- yet again, but I know that she does agree with my logic on this one, she thought, offering up a smile to the girl.
However, all that Irma got in return was a heavy scoff before Cornelia viciously hissed,
"Let's just get this over with, before you get me into more trouble!"
Apparently I was wrong, thought Irma glumly, as she began to help the seething blonde mix the ingredients. It's official: this night blows!
End of Chapter Five
(A.N. There it is. Not the original end to this chapter, but since I already had to divide this thirty-six page chapter into three parts, and I knew that people would voice their upset about how my chapters are always so long so...yeah. I mean, c'mon. A "billion" pages for one chapter. That's NOTHING for me whenever I read, but a lot of people on here like short chapters, what can I say. And anyway, the next scene was a morning scene, so I figure I'd just push it to chapter six, even though I had planned to reveal more of the plot in THIS chapter – hence the "mysteries" bit in its title. However, I still sort of did, if anyone can catch it. Yay. LoL Stay tuned for more, please.)

I wouldn't necessarily say that this is a bold prediction. I'm sure plenty of fans would agree with me on this one because of production, attitude, and leadership. Last season when a majority of team failed to provide a spark or even a small glimpse of hope, Will Middlebrooks emerged from the minor leagues and brought life to the Red Sox. With his trademark "Wake and Rake" attitude, the former backup managed to secure a starting spot at third base, effectively forcing Kevin Youkilis out of town. If you ask me, Middlebrooks is the easy answer for mid-season MVP prediction. Not only does he produce at a high level, he just has this sort of swagger about him. He's a baller; he puts 100% into everything he does, and typically does well at it. After a wrist injury ended his first season with the team in 2012, Middlebrooks has worked his hardest to come back better than ever. In regards to his recent injury that caused some scares, Sox fans can breath a sigh of relief because he has sin...

Our colleague David Beard asked Valerie Plame — now promoting her new espionage novel, "Blowback" — for her thoughts on the portrayal of various lady spies in popular culture. She's skeptical of Claire Danes's brilliant-but-skittish loner Carrie Mathison on "Homeland": "If you're going to be in human intelligence, having a high EQ is kind of essential." But overall, she gets a higher grade for realism, than, say, Jennifer Garner in "Alias."

Recently a compelling story and its photo went viral. Apparently, an autistic boy just started middle school as a sixth grader. In case you have forgotten middle school, students can be downright cruel. So this boy found himself eating alone during lunch.
While the rest of the students were all wrapped up in themselves, eating with their friends, a Florida State University football player named Travis Rudolph entered the lunchroom and looked around.
When he noticed the boy eating alone he grabbed some lunch and went over and ate with the boy. We can all imagine what kind of impact this one compassionate act had on the boy, and his mother has posted publicly about the tremendous impact it had on her. Being sensitive to the less fortunate is an undervalued value in our society.
Actually this should be more widespread among Christ-followers. Romans chapter 14 talks about being sensitive to those who are weaker (in the faith specifically, but the application goes far wider). But for most of us, this is an overlooked aspect of worship.
The apostle Paul added that this is an excellent way to engage in an act of worship. "Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men." (verse 18 ESV). The word for serve is the word for worship in the New Testament.
In other words, you honor God and participate in worship when you care about the less fortunate. Perhaps because it reflects on the nature of God, Who is described as merciful and gracious.
You may find similar opportunities to worship at work. Recently my son, Gabe, who works in produce at Harris Teeter, had such an opportunity. A man came in wanting some fruit cut up a particular way. Come to find out his wife had cancer, and he needed the fruit to take back to her hospital room. Gabe spent a few minutes talking to this man, relating how cancer had also stricken his aunts. Then he went into the back and brought out the fruit cut just the way the guy wanted.
My son did not think at the time that that was an act of worship, but it was.
You may have a similar opportunity at work. The question is, "Will you worship at work?"
There are two things about human nature that are universal. We want any pain to cease immediately. And if we do something right, we want to be rewarded immediately
After all, that's how we train our animals. Do this and there is immediate gratification.
In our dogs' case, that equals food, pleasure.
When it comes to our piety, our faith & devotion, we tend to feel as if we should get some kind of hall pass on pain. After all, doesn't God want us to be happy? I want my pets to be happy. But then I'm not trying to build character into my dogs.
Can you imagine a world in which God rewarded piety immediately? Sports would be non-existent. Because you can't have two winners at the end of a game. What if both teams held a Bible study and prayed before a game? God would be in a pickle.
Ultimately we would become selfish and slaves to all of our prurient interests.
But it's still a hard concept to shake. When God sets out to be build character in us, He includes suffering.
To be clear there is nothing wrong with asking God to remove the pain in your life. And we should expect God to bless our spirituality. That is pretty much the theme of Proverbs.
Let's just not put God on a timetable. Perhaps a better solution is to make Proverbs 3:5-6 a daily reality:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths (ESV).
Let's trust God to decide when it's time to reward our piety.
Let's be honest. We all need someone in our lives who believes in us. Actually it could make all the difference.
John Lynch is a former NFL football player. But let's start at the beginning of his story. Lynch went to Stanford University to play football as a quarterback. However, he never made it onto the field for the first two years.
After his sophomore year the coach suggested that he move to free safety, a position on the defense. But still he rarely played. He got on the field only about thirty percent of the time.
Since he was also gifted at baseball, Lynch decided to go pro and signed a contract with a professional baseball team, the Florida Marlins.
This happened at the same time Stanford got a new football coach, Bill Walsh.
Coach Walsh got wind of his decision to leave and called him into the office. Walsh had just spent hours reviewing the team's game films and was convinced that Lynch was the best defensive player Stanford had. That day Walsh persuaded Lynch to stick with football.
As they say, "the rest is history." Lynch went on to play in the NFL and become a star player for many years. Of course, that doesn't mean his path to stardom was easy.
In his second year in the pros he did not even know if he would make the team.
Once again, a new coach arrived in town and saw his potential.
John Lynch repeatedly discovered the power of others. His rise to fame may never have happened without the influence of others, particularly those 2 coaches.
In the Bible it's rather amazing that one day Jesus looked at a fisherman named Peter and saw incredible potential. And then He invited Peter to join His team. He became one of the 12 disciples, wrote 1 & 2 Peter, and became one of the pillars of the early church.
Later the apostle Paul met a young man, Timothy, and invited him along to participate in the ministry. Timothy became Paul's ministry assistant and the pastor of the church at Ephesus.
Sometimes we simply need the right people around us. People who see potential in us and believe in us.
You can't always control who is in your life, but you can pray that God would send the right people into your life.
So that you too can experience the power of others!
Sleep is a funny thing. We all need it. Yet many love to talk about how little they need. It's as if you win some sort of medal for needing so little. Sort of like being busy. No one wants to admit a lack of busyness.
Somehow needing as little as five hours of sleep a night raises one's value.
Or does it?
Growing up I was not allowed to sleep in. It was a huge sin to sleep until 7am. Fortunately for me I was always an early riser. Add in working in construction since the age of 16 and I was up at 4:30 or 5. That just meant I had to go to bed earlier. As I age I still love to get up early, but I still need a good night's sleep.
Yet the stigma of needing 7, 8, or even 9 hours of sleep still exists. Perhaps it's time to shed that line of thinking.
Great athletes like Tom Brady goes to bed regularly at 9pm. Now stop and think about that. Sounds a little extreme. Yet Brady who has attained the highest level of an NFL quarterback wants to play as long as possible. His health routines are legendary. And today at the age of 39 he is arguably playing his best football ever. That is unheard of.
While his sleep routine is not the only part of what he does, it is an important component. One that many of us routinely overlook and devalue.
Jesus also valued sleep. His disciples even found him taking a nap in the bottom of a boat during a huge storm. You must admit, storms are very conducive to sleep!
The bottom line is we are all different. Most of us will need anywhere from 6-9 hours of sleep.
Sleep matters. It affects your productivity. And you can tell. Even if you wouldn't admit it.
Are you getting enough sleep?
How do you feel during the day?
Maybe it's time to get a good night's sleep. And not feel guilty, but better!
Anyone who has ever played basketball has dreamed of dunking the ball.
But for people like me, who tend to suffer from height challenges along with reduced jumping abilities, it's out of reach. The basket, that is. But I can jump high enough to touch the bottom of the net. Granted, that's over a foot away from the rim. And you can't just touch the rim, you must be able to elevate above the rim. That's beyond me.
So I was pretty impressed when I ran across a video of a guy who is only 5'2" dunking the basketball. That is unheard of. It's rather incredible, really. Most people at that height would assume it was impossible. Maybe not even try. Obviously this guy went above and beyond expectations. It would be so easy to be like everyone else. To assume it couldn't be done. But he didn't sell himself short, and now he amazes everyone who sees him at his game.
Let's move outside the arena of basketball. In fact, let's go back to a guy named Moses.
I bet you have heard of him. Did you know that he almost sold himself short? Thankfully God stepped in and made him go for it.
It all started when God showed up one day and asked Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt. Most would have jumped at the opportunity. Not Moses.
He balked. Big time!
Moses' first response was to fall back on what others thought about him. At least his perception of it.
First, he was a "nobody." Because of that he didn't think anyone would listen to him or follow his leadership. He had no credentials.
Then Moses answered, "But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, 'The Lord did not appear to you.'" Exodus 4:1 (ESV)
And there was more to his insecurity issues. Apparently he didn't have the gift of public speaking. And since leaders have to speak on occasion, he was convinced he was the wrong guy. So he "said to the Lord, "Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue." Exodus 4:10 (ESV)
And then he said, "Oh, my Lord, please send someone else." Exodus 4:13 (ESV)
Now stop and think about it for a moment. You have heard of Moses because he eventually relented and did what he thought he could not do.
He did what he was not qualified to do.
He did what he thought someone else could have done better.
Thankfully Moses trusted God to use him. But what if God had allowed Moses to sell himself short? Many today consider Moses to be the greatest leader in the Old Testament.
I often wonder what Moses thought about when he went to bed at night.
Did he ever think, "I almost sold myself short."
Perhaps a good question to ask is "Where am I selling myself short." Maybe it's time to go out and try to dunk that basketball.
It sounds contradictory. It seems like a dilemma.
In the sports world we define so many great athletes and coaches not only by wins & losses, but also by championships.
Can you imagine being a football coach who takes your team to the super Bowl 4 years in a row and you are still labeled as a loser by many only because you didn't walk away with the trophy? It happened to Marv Levy as coach of the Buffalo Bills. In one of those games, the outcome would have been a win if a field goal kick had been just 2 feet in the other direction.
Bud Grant was the coach of the Minnesota Vikings who also lost 4 Super Bowls. Was he a loser?
Many great coaches have only gone to the Super Bowl once. Because they walked away with the trophy that one time, we label them as winners.
But think about it. Do you realize how hard it is to get the Super Bowl even once? How about taking your team four times? Very few coaches have ever done that. So are they losers? I would say not.
In Hebrews 11, there is a list we often refer to as God's Hall of Fame. In verses 36-39 there are a group of people who aren't even named. They were virtual unknowns who never saw their reward on earth. No recognition, no pats on the back, no rewards. In fact, the polar opposite. But God was watching, and eventually God made it right. In verse 40, it says "God provided something better…"
And today while many still consider Marv Levy and Bud Grant losers, they did get elected to the Football Hall of Fame. Because there are those who recognize their true value as winners.
Guess what? You may be smart, loaded with talent, and loaded with skill. But the circumstances around you just are not in your favor. You may feel like you are losing your own personal "Super Bowl". But you are not a loser. Keep on keeping on and stay in the game. God is keeping score.
His watchmen are blind;
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent dogs;
they cannot bark,
dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
One of my favorite stories working with my dad happened at Andrews Air Force Base. Dad owned a steel erection company, and I was a foreman for one of the crews. One day the crane operator was on vacation, so Dad came out to run the crane. That day I worked as a connector, which means I was up on the building and when the crane operator swung the steel into position, I was waiting with another guy to bolt it in place.
The connector is in constant communication with the crane operator using hand signals to position the steel where it needs to go. Hand signals are the best way to communicate because the distance and the noise of the crane and other equipment make talking or even shouting almost impossible.
But on that particular day my dad shouted at me all day long, trying to tell me how to do my job. To be clear my dad was not mad at me. Loud was simply his normal way of communication, so shouting was not hard for him. Sometimes people thought his typical speaking voice was at a shouting level.
The next day the crane operator came back to work, so Dad stayed in the office.
When I arrived that morning a construction worker from another company on the job asked me, "Who was that man that yelled at you all day yesterday?" When I replied it was my dad, he didn't buy it until another coworker backed me up that, yes, it really had been my dad. His final words were, "Man, I have never heard a man holler like that in my life."
My dad could, and sometimes would, incessantly holler all day. But my dad wanted me to be the best. He was my most loyal friend on the job. Without a doubt, my dad molded my life more than anyone else.
In Isaiah's day there were watchmen who would not bark. Granted most people do not want to be barked at. But prophets were to sound the alarm when the people drifted. Let's be honest. It's easy to drift…in our habits, in our eating, in our materialism, in our time on the internet, and even in the way we dress (I could wear the same t-shirt for weeks). Sometimes we need a person who cares enough to bark. We need parents, coaches, mentors, teachers, professors, and pastors who will bark at us when we drift.
You know, that day is one of the fondest memories of my life and of the days working with my dad.
I'm thankful I had someone who cared enough to bark.

Hi all.
Last year I made a transition from old Audi 80s to my old 323i, with a MK3 Mondeo in between (let's not even go there).
The Beemer's been a really good car so far; done the last 10,000 miles without missing a beat and has generally been really enjoyable; especially the RWD!
However, I'm a bit concerned about an accumulation of mayonnaise occuring under the oil filler cap and in the oil breather pipe. Obviously it would suggest head gasket problems, but I changed the oil & coolant as soon as I got the car and neither have dropped in level since or otherwise show any serious signs of cross-contamination. The engine runs as sweet as a nut 100% of the time and averages 32mpg with the odd blast around country lanes.
I had the rocker cover off and the mayonnaise is completely localised around the filler cap and in the breather pipe; nowhere else, almost as if moisture is getting into the system from outside somehow; I thought possibly just outdoor condensation on cold nights? Has anyone else experienced this?
I'd also like to know if anyone successfully uses the Torque app for Android with their non-fully OBD compliant E36, and what OBD-bluetooth adaptor they use? I already have a round 24-pin to OBD converter cable, but the bluetooth adaptor I used (£10 Chinese knock-off) didn't seem to want to work. It works with my brother's 2006 Jag X-Type but not his 1998 Freelander.

Rita Hess, a 2016 alumna of Illinois State University and an Elk Grove native, received the prestigious Gabriela Mistral Award for her academic achievements, noteworthy leadership, and initiative in Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society.
During her time at Illinois State, Hess studied abroad with immersions in Granada, Spain, and Quito and Cuenca, Ecuador. She served as the president of the University's Chapter of Sigma Delta Pi this year.
"I wanted to surround myself with people who had the same interests and with whom I could share my experiences and love for Spanish culture," said Hess of her decision to join Sigma Delta Pi. "I soon found out how much amazing work the chapter does in the community and with some area schools and was hooked, it was a great combination of community involvement, teaching, and leadership experience, and all of it had some aspect of Hispanic culture tied into it."
Under Hess' leadership of Sigma Delta Pi, the chapter held network events with students and professors, and engaged in community projects, such as teaching to elementary students, and performing a puppet show for local youth.
This May, Hess earned a graduate degree in Spanish linguistics. She also graduated with a bachelor's degree from Illinois State with a Spanish major and a minor in Italian Studies. She now works with IOR Global Services in Northbrook, Illinois, as a language program manager.
The Gabriela Mistral Award is granted by Sigma Delta Pi's national Executive Committee and may be presented to only one person per chapter yearly; the honor is reserved for outstanding graduate or undergraduate students of Spanish who are active members of Sigma Delta Pi.

Born: January 13, 1929 in New Brunswick, NJ

Joe Pass did the near-impossible. He was able to play up-tempo versions of bop tunes such as "Cherokee" and "How High the Moon" unaccompanied on the guitar. Unlike Stanley Jordan, Pass used conventional (but superb) technique, and his Virtuoso series on Pablo still sounds remarkable decades later. Joe Pass had a false start in his career. He played in a few swing bands (including Tony Pastor's) before graduating from high school, and was with Charlie Barnet for a time in 1947. But after serving…

Our Synthetic Biology Future Science Platform is positioning Australia to play a role in one of the fastest growing areas of modern science with a wealth of potential for developments in healthcare, industrial biotechnology, agriculture and food research and beyond.
The challenge
Entering new territory
Synthetic Biology (SynBio): the design and construction of biological parts, devices, and organisms, usually based on DNA-encoded componentry; and their application for useful purposes.
The ability to design and fabricate biological systems has been enhanced over the past decade with significant advances in science and technologies in all of the fields involved in SynBio.
SynBio is an emerging, transformative and interdisciplinary field representing the convergence of diverse domains, including; biotechnology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, systems biology, physics, chemistry, computer engineering and informatics, electrical engineering and genetic engineering.
It involves modelling, writing and printing DNA code for designing and fabricating new biological parts, devices, systems, and machines, as well as re-designing existing natural biological systems.
In Australia, there are a number of research and development projects in the design or implementation phase across agricultural, industrial and environmental applications, however, we have been lacking a central resource to coordinate and foster research in the field.
Our response
A coordinated approach
CSIRO is investing in the creation of a Synthetic Biology Future Science Platform (SynBio FSP), one of six new FSPs which will underpin innovation in health and biology, resources, agriculture and manufacturing, and have the potential to support the reinvention and creation of new industries and new jobs for Australia. Not only will the FSPs invest in research and delivery of solutions, they're also an investment in the next crop of researchers.
CSIRO is uniquely positioned to enable the development of a cohesive and integrated SynBio research ecosystem.
CSIRO has established an initial partnership with the University of Queensland and Macquarie University, two key organisations with established track records in SynBio. The partnership is focussed on cross-disciplinary expertise that is able to offer biological solutions to industry for increased efficiency, sustainability, and novel products.
We are looking to build collaborations with other institutions to expand the SynBio FSP's capability and allow Australia to fully capitalise on the rapid growth of Synthetic Biology globally, currently worth approximately $3 billion and expected to rise to approximately $40 billion by 2020*.
Future Science Platform
The SynBio FSP aims to:
- Build the foundational capabilities to advance Synthetic Biology research, including significant investment in social licence to operate
- Drive national coordination by making these foundational capabilities widely available to the broad research community, governments, and industry for the development of novel industrial products, pharma, biocontrol agents, and strategies for building ecosystem resilience to environmental change, and
- Build strong partnerships, collaborations, and connections across the innovation sector to develop these novel products and applications responsibly.
The SynBio FSP will work with its partner organisations, including Synthetic Biology Australasia, to help build a collaborative Australia-wide community of practice in synthetic biology.
* A 2013 Allied Market Research Report valued the Global SynBio market at $3 billion which is estimated to rise to approximately $40 billion by 2020.
Interested in helping us further this research?
We seek research collaborators with complementary skills so we can work together for stronger results.

So! Here's what you need: Three mushy bananas, an egg, a little bit of vegetable oil, some sugar, and one of my personal favorite baking ingredients, Bisquick. Yep, I love Bisquick. I do. I always have it around just in case someone has an urgent need for pancakes, or drop biscuits, or banana muffins. Find your box of Bisquick and then mush up the bananas with a fork. Now mix everything together in your mixer until it is just combined, which takes about 5 minutes from start to finish.
Then you can either use mini-muffin pans or regular muffin pans to bake 'em up. I sometimes use paper liners and sometimes don't – just make sure you grease the pan first if you don't. At this point you need someone reliable to lick the bowl.
Twenty minutes later (or 12 minutes if you are making the mini-muffins) your kitchen counter will look like this…
Your kitchen will smell beautifully of bananas, and all will be right with the world. It's enough to make you buy extra bananas just to get some brown spots going. Now over to you – go bananas!
- 1 egg
- 2 cups Bisquick
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 3 medium bananas, mashed
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Preheat oven to 400. Grease one 12 cup muffin pan, or two 24 cup mini muffin pans, or line them with paper muffin cups.
- Combine egg, Bisquick, sugar, mashed bananas and vegetable oil and stir until just combined. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
- Bake 15-20 minutes for large muffins, or 10-12 minutes for mini muffins, until golden brown. Remove from muffin pans and cool...but make sure you eat at least one while they are still warm!

3G Prices!!!
Why are there not prices for the 3G service from posted on the PS site, or AT&T for that matter... Kinda makes me piss scared that its ganna be really high. Looking at the AT&T site and seeing what it costs for 250k ($14.99 American monies) or 2GB ($24.99 USD) not to mention after its $10/GB overage ... yeah ummm. not too reasonable considering that its just for games. I would really like a price break down cus these prices are worrying me.
Re: 3G Prices!!!
Those prices are very likely correct. How can you say it's not too reasonable, when that has been the standard data rates AT&T has been offering for a while (standard rate for tablet devices). If you feel it's too much, then get the WiFi version.
Everyone thinks I'm psychotic (except my friends deep inside the earth).
Re: 3G Prices!!!
Yeah man Im debating on wether or not it will really be worth it to have 3G over WI-FI. Just think about all the limitations you have with a 3g smart phone. I dont think gaming online with 3g will work really well at all.
Re: 3G Prices!!!

Because it WILL NOT be able to work at all... Announced.
Re: 3G Prices!!!
What I'm saying is they jus need to release thems prices already, why wouldn't they? seems like they're ganna pull the ol' oh you already preordered the 3G one... oh good, deposite $50/month and enjoy. Another point is why wouldn't you jus add tethering to you phone acc... I mean T-mo/adroid does that for free so I guess I'm golden. but suck-city fer erbody else
Re: 3G Prices!!!
You can basically guess the prices bt AT&T's Tablet prices (14.99 for 250mb, 24.99 for 2GB).
The reason for tethering is because with T-mobile, going over 2GB slows your speed, and on top of that, you'd have to use your phone all the time. And not everyone has tethering. Besides, what would you do with 3G on your phone for your Vita? The social networking stuff? Since your 3G phone would be able to do the same thing. So there's no point in tethering if you have a phone with the same features as your Vita. The only thing you could use is Near or something, but other than that there's nothing useful about using the Vita with tethering. I bet that a lot of the 3G people are getting it without already having a smartphone.

"The Hobbit" director quits amid studio delays
LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro who was directing two movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" has stepped down after two years on the project amid studio delays and schedule conflicts.
"In light of ongoing delays in the setting of a start date for filming "The Hobbit," I am faced with the hardest decision of my life," del Toro wrote in a statement on "Lord of the Rings" fansite TheOneRing.net.
"After nearly two years of living, breathing and designing a world as rich as Tolkien's Middle Earth, I must, with great regret, take leave from helming these wonderful pictures."
He said he would continue to co-write the screenplays with "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Phillippa Boyens.
The walls started to crumble for del Toro in recent weeks as the uncertain financial future of movie studio MGM put a question mark over the two-movie project. The producers had hoped to be in production this summer but did not get a greenlight.
MGM, or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc, is struggling with about $3.7 billion of debt and said last November that it was exploring a potential sale of the company but has yet to find a buyer and is said to be considering various options for its future.
MGM is co-producing "The Hobbit" movies with New Line Cinema.
Del Toro, who has a laundry list of projects outlined for the next 10 years, was faced with having to decide whether to cut loose or stay on for more uncertainty.
The director, whose filmmaking credits include "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy," moved his wife and children to New Zealand for the shoot and the first movie was aiming for a December 2012 release. The second was due out a year later. "The blessings have been plenty, but the mounting pressures of conflicting schedules have overwhelmed the time slot originally allocated for the project," said del Toro. Continued...

Dear Human,
Proper footwear fit is essential to a fun day out (or in). Here's how to measure your pet's paws...
With your pet's paw on the ground, measure from the tip of the claws (those have to fit inside the shoe too) to the back of where the paw touches the ground, which is just behind the pad.
While your pet's paw is still on the ground, measure from side to side at the widest point of your pet's paw, which is usually near the base of the toes.
Handy Tip: Try having your pet step on a piece of paper, then trace around the paw. Then, while your pet is off eating your houseplants or terrorizing the neighborhood, you can measure the traced outline in peace.
