So Long Leg Veins!
For about five or so years now I have developed noticeable spider veins on the backs of my thighs and had a varicose vein on the front of my left leg. I was always embarrassed to wear short skirts and felt like everyone would stare if I had my back to them. I decided enough was enough and wanted to have a summer wearing skirts with no anxiety about them. So here are pictures of what they... READ MORE

Hi everyone and hello again Marty!
2012 will be my first Comrades (yikes) and I must admit the prospect is pretty daunting.
Just wondered when is the best time to book flights and where to book accommodation for the down run? Do most people stay in Durban and close to the race finish?
Many thanks.
Hi Karen

And those words really got to me, realising that I would be so high above the world just being taken by the wind. I got into position and ran head first against the wind with the parachute holding me back of the mountain. In a second the wind took me and I was sitting comfortably, floating, flying. I was ...

Well saw the movie "Gone Girl" - yeah well after it came out. I had read the novel, but found the movie much better. It was quite long, but stayed almost true to the original plot. This is an author's delight to write a character that's dark, disturbing and with almost no qualms. I liked the movie
I call it violating my body
but you call it making love
you perform your sordid ministrations
I stare blankly at the ceiling above
You really are indeed clueless
that while you are taking your fill
With ease I could end your life
with a moderate exercise of will
In the moment you feel so powerful
and I see the whites of your eyes
Its this very weakness I exploit
and before you even realize
In a blur your life could be severed
and your throat's a crimson stain
You drown in shocked surprise
with your life I release my pain
You might consider me docile
But t'is you that's domesticated
you're a puppet in this relationship
What is love, if not complicated?

Green Bay cornerback Davon House has been named NFC special teams player of the week. House blocked a punt in Sunday's win over Jacksonville that resulted in a touchdown. He is the first Packer to block a punt since Sept. 29, 2003, when linebacker Marcus Wilkins accomplished the feat. It was the first blocked punt of House's career at any level. Sunday's punt block was recovered in the end zone by rookie linebacker Dezman Moses. The last time the Packers had a blocked punt for a touchdown, House was just a year old. House also made his first career start against Jacksonville, recording four tackles. In his second season out of New Mexico State, this is House's first career Player of the Week honor. He is only the second Packers special teamer (non-kicker or kick-returner) to be honored, joining linebacker K.D. Williams' honor in Week 3 of the 2001 campaign.

Srinagar, Aug 22 (UNI) Concerned over the reports about migration of muslim gujjars from some areas in Jammu region because of alleged attacks by communal forces, the Tribal Research and Cultural Foundation (TRCF) appealed to authorities to provide them proper security.
National Secretary of the TRCF, a national organisation working for Gujjars, Dr Javid Rahi said some elements among the gujjars are trying to create confusion and chaos among the community by spreading rumours.
However, he said the tribe needs to identify them so that they are not isolated.
Dr Rahi appealed to tribes residing in Jammu region, not to migrate from their ancestral lands.
They should instead work and coordinate with the majority hindu community and administration to restore normalcy, he said.
Seeking the intervention of district administration and the members of majority community to help restore confidence among various communities in the region, Dr Rahi said the Gujjars are integral part of the multi ethnic structure of Jammu region and have stood by majority communities for centuries besides have proven their credentials in testing times.
He said a number of Gujjar leaders from various states of the country admist the news of migration of 250 Gujjar families from various areas of Jammu, Samba and Kathua to Jammu city forest area have impressed upon them not to think migrating from their ancestral holds.
In separate massages to Dr Rahi, the Gujjar leaders of eleven states of India expressed solidarity and sympathy with the muslim Gujjars of Jammu and Kashmir.
They appealed to majority hindu community in Jammu to provide security to Gujjars of Jammu region and ensure their safety.
The Gujjar leaders in a massage to Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangarsh Samiti (SAYSS), said the Gujjars of Jammu and Kashmir has all alone proven themselves to the credentials of secularism. They should be guarded at any cast, the leaders said.

You're Invited!
Tyra Williams is a Junior at Middleton High, who is envied by the most popular girl in school. Yet she finds herself at one of her parties and mingling with her boyfriend's little brother and enjoying herself more than she thought she would. What happens when she finds herself dating one of the most popular guys in school and having to choose between her friends and the life that she has just begun as the new and popular Tyra? Being popular is all she has ever wanted and now she has that, but wi
There were secrets, there were rumors, there were lies that just never went away. There was no such thing as getting through high school without getting one bad thing said about you or being bullied by your peers if there wasn't anything said about. If it was the way you dressed or the way spoke or where you were from, maybe it was who you hung out with. There was always something said about what you didn't or what you did have. You might be dating the hottest guy in school who just so happens to be the quarterback of the football team, but you didn't have the new purse or the cute shoes that were in styles now so you weren't considered cool. You might have all the new styles and fashions of 2013 but you hung out with the geek of the year so you weren't even considered to be worthy. If you were a cheerleader and got an A on the test without using some nerd to get it for you then you weren't considered good enough to sit at the cafeteria table with the others because studying was forbidden.
That was high school for you; or at least at Middleton High. You couldn't just be a mixture of things; you had to be one or the other. There was no such thing as being a nerd who has all of the styles and is a professional make-up guru and cheerleader. That was just unacceptable and you were placed as a nerdy nobody. I realized this my first day of high school as a Freshmen and that's why I was such a troublemaker and was tossed under the possibility of being a nerd. That's why the most popular girl in school hates me. I wasn't just some nobody that she could just squish like a bug because I was just me.
People say that I'm beautiful and unique and that just presses her buttons because she wants so bad to push me under a category that I don't belong in. I wasn't a cheerleader and I didn't wear short skirts. I didn't stuff my bra with tissues and stalk up to a really cute guy and imply that he asks me out Friday night, yet I still managed to get what I want. I was the girl wearing the nerdy glasses with the ripped, faded jeans, a plaid shirt on top of a regular tank top with a beanie on her head. I wasn't better than anyone else and I knew this but something about walking into high school your Junior year sends you flying into a bunch of drama that was bound to happen.
Before I go into detail let me tell you a few things you should know:
Troy Styles, the hottest guy in school and the quarterback of the Middleton Bulldogs football team. He only came to school to play sports, eat, and go home. He was more of a visitor than a learner but the school wouldn't dare call his parents considering he was the only reason that they had never lost a game since he began as a starter his Freshmen year. Every girl in school fainted and swooned over the way he flipped his hair and the way he wore tight shirts to show off his biceps and pecs. All I saw was someone who needed to get his crap together and learn some Algebra before he starts bragging about how many downs they got in a game and the difference between and winning and a losing score.
Aphrodite Jones aka Miss. Popular, she was the girl who only came to school for socializing and was only a senior because she knew how to use people to get what she wanted. Someone needed to get her a reality check and that's why she hated me so much. She was the girl with the small dog and the huge mansion with the pink convertible that she would roll up to school in with her girlfriends in the back. She would flaunt around school and have her own customized locker that sparkled and of course was pink.
Jacky Williams, her 'assistant' or hound dog as I like to call it. All she did was chase after Jones and gave her whatever she wanted even if it was impossibly stupid. She would be the one to set up all of the big parties that Jones had and would run around making sure that everyone had a drink and that no one was throwing up in a pool.
And then there was me. My name's Tyra Williams, the girl who's not really seen until she wants herself to be known. I sit in the back of the classroom and I'm an average 'A' and 'B' student. I'm pretty much just an average Junior or at least I would have been if I hadn't been at one of Jone's parties last year that some how got me classified under the "cool" status and of course I never learn my lesson.
I looked up to see my friend Eleanor, scribbling vigorously on a note. The only reason I even knew this is because we were in the library and as soon as she put her pencil to the paper the librarian was jumping on her case. Of course she ignored this and continued to scribble down what was so important before handing it to me. I smirked at her before reading the note.
'Party at Aphrodite's, you invited?'
I frowned down at the note before my eyes flickered back to her and she had this look on her face that made me cautious and curious as she stared at the double doors of the library. I turned around in my seat to see. Harry Styles, Troy's younger brother, walking into the library with a determined look on his face but also a confused one as if he had never been in here before.
I turned back around in my seat and hid my face between the pages of 'House Rules' and pretended that he wasn't there. I wasn't sure why but he stalked straight over to our table and slid into the seat beside me. I could feel his eyes burning through the book so I decided to put it down slowly. I looked over to him through my powdery blue eyelids and took the pink envelope that he was holding out to me, ignoring the blush on my face and opening the envelope slowly. I frowned at the contents before looking back over to Harry to see him holding out a scrap of paper that he must have gotten from Eleanor.
'Go with me?' I stared down at the simple message before my eyes flickered back up to him to see him biting his lip with his eyebrows raised. If he hadn't looked so much like his brother I would have giggled like a little lovestruck middle school girl.
Harry Styles, the unique guy with his own band. I had never actually gtten to know him before I began to really like him. I ended up shying away from all atempts and realizing that I would never actually be able to face him. The guy was gorgeous to say the least and I was just a random girl that he saw in school that slid around the corner everytime he was in the hallway. I would hide my face when he was asked to come into our classroom and keep my head down when he was in a class with me.
I had a crush on his brother and who could blame me?
"Please?" He mouthed with a faint smile on his face and all I could do was give him a small smile and nod my head.
I never learn my lesson...

"Hi Austin!"
"Um…hi," I responded, some girl had just randomly stepped in front of me and greeted me. I didn't who in the world she was, but she had done it anyways.
"I'm Jessica!"
"Ok then, hi Jessica." I replied awkwardly. Girls didn't usually just step in front of you and introduce themselves did they?
She blinked her eyes prettily and I noticed her glance back at a group of girls who were tittering by the lockers. I realized what was happening.
"Ok, just do whatever you were dared to do and be done with it Jessica." Her pretty brown eyes widened as she realized I had figured out the reason for the sudden greeting. Her face fell as she realized I looked bored with her.
"I-I'm sorry," she stuttered out an apology.
I immediately felt sorry for her and gave her a smile, "It's ok and no problem…so…did you just have to introduce yourself to me? Or did you have to do something else?" I asked.
She turned red looked away, "I...I thing you are really cute," she informed me. The pieces fell together. She must have been playing truth or dare. She had really mean friends if that was the case.
I grinned. "Well, thank you, you're not so bad yourself you know."
She turned even redder and hurried off. I watched as she started to talk excitedly to her friends and grinned. That was a first. I wasn't particularly popular…but I guess this was a big school so not everyone was going to aspire for the head jock and him alone.
My best friend Zach caught up to me and started to walk along with me. "Hey, what did you say to the poor girl to make her turn so red?" he asked curiously.
I laughed. "She was on a dare to tell me that I was cute apparently."
Zach burst out laughing and I gave him the evil eye. He didn't stop so I gave him a slight shove. "Oh, get a life Zach." I told him embarrassedly.
He started to quiet down and I saw that he had been laughing so hard tears had formed in his eyes. 'I'm sorry man, but that's pretty hilarious, you have to admit…"
I sighed and rolled my eyes as I pulled up at my locker and threw my bag inside before closing it again. "No I'm not going to admit, you're just jealous—"
"Hello Zach, my name is Mr. Binks, I'm your new councilor, and will you please follow me?" I turned around to find a strange looking man with slicked back hair staring at me.
"Wha—" I began.
"No questions till later please, just follow me."
I gave him a strange look, but moved to follow him cautiously. I had heard those pedophiles before and I wasn't too keen to be caught by one if this "Mr. Binks was indeed one.
"Why won't you tell me what's going on?" I demanded. Mr. Binks turned around and I felt a pain in my chest. I looked down and saw a needle sticking out of it. "Crap," I said woozily as blackness engulfed my vision.

Brunei Methanol Company Sendirian Berhad (BMC Sdn Bhd) workers have been advised to expand and maintain efforts to speed up technological transfers for a safer and more stable operation.
This was revealed by BMC's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Akira Ishiwada, who spoke about milestones achieved since their initiation in 2006 and future plans as the Sultanate's first methanol manufacturing and exporting plant, which commenced its full commercial operation back in May 2010 with a workforce of 190.
BMC – now in its fifth year with 250 staff members of which 90 per cent are locals – is a joint venture company between Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company Inc, PetroleumBRUNEI and Itochu Corporation that is situated at one of the Brunei Economic Development Board's (BEDB) Industrial Parks, SPARK (Sungai Liang Industrial Park) in the Belait District.
One important indicator of the company's progress was its first shipment of 10,000 metric tonnes of methanol to China in May 2010, which also marked Brunei's first major down-stream activity.
The milestone is significant because it paved the country's path to economic diversification in line with the aspirations of His Majesty's Government which also include the development of downstream industries from oil and gas resources.
To date, 613,000 metric tonnes have been exported from the US$400 million plant designed to produce 2,500 metric tonnes per day.
The CEO also highlighted that there are many benefits to investing in the Sultanate – "Brunei Darussalam is politically stable and strategically located in the middle of the growing Asian market with close distance to its neighbouring countries and naturally BMC's methanol production is also supported by the availability of natural gas…"
To ensure that an organisation has the necessary tools to help compete locally and globally, it is important for companies to strive for the ISO 9001 accreditation, which would help improve its management with the implementation of quality management system requirements.
Meanwhile, in terms of environmental management, the ISO 14001 is equally important, as when awarded, the companies and organisations would then have the practical tools for identifying and subsequently controlling their environmental impacts as well as constantly improving their environmental management systems.
"With the assistance… the achievement of both accreditations as key milestones during the five years since the commencement of operations as well as the International Ship and Port Security Certification and the Certification of Compliance to COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) Regulation 2013 in line with international standards, BMC has built strong competitiveness in the methanol business while also producing top grade methanol exported to markets such as Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as markets as far as India and the United states.
"Methanol has great potential to develop a wide variety of products, being an ideal feedstock for the pharmaceuticals, chemicals and plastics industries," he added.
BMC has also been active with initiatives to transfer knowledge to the locals, especially providing the Jefri Bolkiah Engineering College (MKJB) attachment students with much exposure and experience while also hosting tours for students and instructors under the Energy Industry Competency Framework at the first chemical plant in Brunei, supporting the EDPMO's (Energy Department at the Prime Minister's Office) initiative to build the capabilities of the local workforce, which has resulted in two apprentices hired under the National Energy Graduate Apprenticeship Scheme.

Petkovic survives set point to win WTA Family Circle Cup
(Reuters) - Andrea Petkovic survived a set point before steamrolling her way to an emphatic 7-5 6-2 victory over Jana Cepelova in the final of the Family Circle Cup in South Carolina on Sunday.
Petkovic, on the comeback trail from a string of injuries, used her powerful forehand to collect her third WTA title in a match that lasted 79 minutes on the green clay in Charleston.
"This is the biggest title I've ever won," the tall 26-year-old Bosnian-born German told ESPN.
"I think this is going to give me a lot of confidence for the clay season. I was in big matches before my injuries but I never had the strength to do it.
"I doubt everything I do. I'm such a perfectionist. I'm very German (and) I throw tantrums and get really upset and grumpy.
"I am constantly having these thoughts in my head and they are eating me alive, so it's been very rewarding the whole week and I'm just so grateful."
Petkovic's career has been hampered by knee, back and ankle injuries, but she can compete with the best when healthy, as her world ranking of 10th at the end of 2011 proved.
But she did not have it all her own way against Slovakian Cepelova, who had a chance to win the first set but fired a forehand groundstroke into the net, a point that proved pivotal.
The match was evenly poised but 14th-seed Petkovic, buoyed by the reprieve, subsequently won the game on serve to tie the set at 5-5 and dominated thereafter. Continued...

Back to School :(Mature
The night was torture. I had nightmares about Julia. I had creepy thoughts about Mr. Parker and his biology class the next day. And I screamed a lot. It was Anne Marie who checked on me.
Screaming returns. Lights turn on. I bolt up.
"Shit," I said, flatly.
Anne Marie just shook her head.
"Go to bed," I said, "I don't get how Grace and Stacey could be asleep like that."
I looked at them and smiled. Anne Marie laughed a little. She reached up to touch my knee, just to comfort me, and went to be after turning off the light. I looked at the time. 2:47. I sighed, closing my eyes, finally enjoying a nightmareless sleep.
I stepped into the shower, washing my hair. Stepped out, messily slipped on my uniform, and blow-dried and tousled my waves. Perfecto. Mascara and eyeliner for touch and I was ready for school. It was 7:50 when I walked out and Anne Marie and I walked to Drama. I wanted to be an actress and that was what my career would be. I wasn't smart. I was... a good actress. Please, if you saw me you would come to years. I decided this when I was... I don't know, 4? And my mom hated it. I should become a doctor like her, she would say. Yeah fucking right.
Mrs. Davis smiled at me sympathetically. I looked at her weird when she patted my cheek. I shrunk back. And she laughed and shook her head. What a weirdo. But she was my one-way ticket to Julliard.
"Class," she said, smiling once the bell rang, "settle down."
Some guys and girls stared at me, in shock.
"What?!?" I asked, angrily.
"You're alive?" some idiot asked me.
"Yes, you have a problem with that?"
"No. I'm glad you're alive..."
"Why?" I snapped.
"Because I don't want anyone to be dead, bitch! Gosh. You think I'm some type of serial killer or something?"
I was taken aback by his insecurity and weirdness, but I continued to write the notes Mrs. Davis started to write on the board.
"Where's Jacob?" she asked without looking back.
"He's suspended, again," half the class said together.
"That boy," she mumbled, "is something... odd."
I laughed. Someone threw an apple at the window. The class stood up to see who it was. Sure enough, it was him, wearing his "I'm too sexy for my shirt" shirt. Idiot. He gave an apple to Mrs. Davis every single day, bitten half the time, because he was kiss ass psycho.
"Jacob Daniels!" she shouted, opening the window.
"Sorry to interrupt," he said, "but I had to give you this."
He tried scraping off the apple, smiling.
"You're disrupting my class!"
"Sorry, woman," he said.
She rolled her eyes.
"Hey, Hales," he said looking at me.
I nodded upwards. The class turned to look at me.
"I love you," he shouted, making a hand heart.
"Aww," I said, "love you, too."
I blew him a kiss.
"Jesus Christ, you two!" Mrs. Davis said, closing the window.
He waved and walked away. I could see a smile on her face. Even though he was an idiot, she liked him. He just had that charm.
After cutting lunch to go to Dunkin' Donuts with Jakey, I snuck back into school just in time. I walked to my Biology class, scared. I made sure my skirt wasn't too high. I guess it was ok. Damn skirts. And sadly, my pink zebra bra showed through the white thin shirts. Oh well. I'll be careful. I was almost late. Mr. Parker was writing something on the board and he didn't see me walk in. Anne Marie, Grace, and Stacey were all in this class. My lab partner was Anne Marie, Grace with Stacey. They sat in front of us. The bell rang and I sat in my seat.
Mr. Parker turned around. And he smiled at me.
"Today," he said, "we'll go into the details of sexual reproduction. We finished asexual last week, right? Anne Marie, could you give Haley the notes from yesterday?"
She raised her eyebrows, handing me her notebook. He's a freak, she mouthed. He went on with his PowerPoint, showing us detailed pictures, making crude perverted jokes, that made most of the class laugh.
9th grade all over again. Hadn't we learned about this freshmen year? Mr. Parker came over to my lab table and bent down so his face was leveled with my boobs, to explain the worksheet he had just given out. I saw him stare. His finger moved toward my elbow, with my hand that held my bored head was on.
"Got it?" he asked, finally standing straight.
"Oh, I got it alright," I said, faking a smile.
"Just come to remedial after school."
"But, I got it."
"Yes, but you need to make a lab."
"I don't have a lab partner."
"I'll be your lab partner," he said, smiling.
"No," Anne Marie said, butting in, "I'll help her. You could scratch the other one."
He groaned, but smiled and nodded. He walked back to his desk in defeat. I think.
"Thanks," I whispered, scribbling something on the worksheet.
"No problem," she said, "he has some major issues."
I nodded in agreement.

Sat 06 Aug 11
Jim Bentley's reign as Morecambe manager began with a narrow defeat against Barnet.
The Bees' Mark Byrne spoiled the afternoon with a stunning 35 yard goal on 76 minutes that flew past Barry Roche's left hand.
Morecambe thought they had a way back into the game moments later when they were denied a penalty after a handball from Anwar Uddin went unpunished and Danny Carlton also fizzed a shot just over the bar as the Shrimps battled to get back into the game.
The game started at a frenetic pace with Barnet creating early chances with Barry Roche having to save well on two occasions from Mark Marshall and Mark Hughes curling a right footer inches wide of the left hand post.
Morecambe looked threatening as well going forward with Phil Jevons firing wide from an acute angle after a neat Lewis Alessandra lay off and Izak Reid denied by a superb covering tackle by Anwar Uddin.
The Shrimps started the second half brightly with Reid again denied by a last gasp Barnet tackle as Clovis Kamdho blocked his close range effort. Jevons saw a shot on the turn well held by Dean Brill and Reid also saw a long range effort deflected for a corner.
Barnet hit back with Izale McLeod hitting the top of the crossbar from close range when he should have opened the scoring.
Morecambe boss Jim Bentley hands three players debuts as the Shrimps kick off the season against Barnet at the Globe.
Nick Fenton, Izak Reid and Lewis Alessandra all start as the Shrimps look for a winning start to their campaign.
Morecambe: Roche; Haining, Fenton, McCready, Wilson; Hunter, Drummond, Fleming, Reid: Alessandra, Jevons. Subs: Routledge, McDonald, Parrish, Carlton, Charnock.
Barnet: Brill; Senda, Parkes, Uddin, Kamdjo; Hughes, Byrne, Marshall, Deering, McLeod, Price. Subs: O'Brien, Holmes, Cox, Taylor, Fraser.

Heated Negotiations
Nyarchagga reached the turbolift shaft and froze. The others behind him stopped dead in their tracks as the Dug stiffened and sniffed the air. "What is it?" asked Geldar who was instantly on alert.
"I heard a sound coming from the shaft," the Dug said, "and I can't smell anything over the rank fumes Tarrsk is putting off."
Kazzra'an chuckled and added, "It's amazing how just falling into the open air of the septic pit caused the fumes to cling to him as if he'd been hit by a Bortalai Stench Beetle."
Tarrsk gave them all a sneer as he strode over to the turbolift and took up a defensive position near it. "Why don't we just fire a few shots down there and ask questions later?"
"What if it's someone from the base?" Brin'tac said in response.
"Who would be out here?" said Tso. "It has to be droids."
"Well if we've lost them we don't want to let them know we're here," said Lialla. "Is there any other way to go?"
"No," said Nyarchagga. "The turbolift shaft is the only way, but we could go up instead of down as we'd originally planned."
Geldar closed his eyes and tried to focus his thoughts down the shaft while the others discussed the situation. Then his eyes shot open in disbelief. "Wait!" he cried. "It's Satchal, and he's brought others with him!"
"Satchal!" cried Lialla with intense relief, and she rushed over to the turbolift door as she tried to force it open. Kazzra'an quickly followed, and together with Tarrsk the three forced the door ajar. "Satchal!" she cried again but louder as she peered into the shaft.
"Keep your voice down, fool!" cried Nyarchagga. "Who knows what could have heard you!"
"Lialla!" Satchal cried back, and the Dug rolled his eyes and threw his forelegs up in surrender. "Is everyone okay up there?"
"We're fine," she replied. "Tarrsk smells a bit, but what else is new."
Tarrsk gave her another sneer and thought about shoving her over the edge to fall screaming down the turbolift shaft. This brought a wide, sadistic grin to his face as his mind drifted to places that brought him the most pleasure.
"Why are you here?" asked Geldar as he appeared next to Lialla.
"We don't have much time," Satchal called up as he tried to quicken his pace up the maintenance ladder. "Ivanna's in trouble. We have to go help her."
Lialla coiled back away from the shaft then, her smile instantly turning to a scowl. "The last we saw of her she was making her way into some power conduit in the Military District. I think she found some sort of sign that the original location of the transmission wasn't accurate, and she went to investigate."
"What happened?" asked Satchal as he finally came into sight.
"I think the better question is," said Tso nervously, "how is our droid situation currently? Our sensor unit was broken, and we have no idea if we're surrounded or what."
Satchal nodded, but it was the sensor officer that replied, "We're fine. The droids seem to be in chaos. We think the virus has kicked in. That should thin the numbers of these blasted droids considerably."
Tso breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back away from the shaft. That was all he cared about presently, and all he wanted at that point was to put the rest of the nightmare behind them.
"So what happened with Ivanna?" Satchal asked again as they helped pull him and the others up out of the shaft.
"There was a bright flash and then the image was gone," explained Brin'tac.
"Any ideas what may have caused the flash?" asked Satchal, concerned.
Nyarchagga answered, "I've actually been giving it some thought, and I think she knew she was about to encounter something. Her lightsaber flashed on again just a few moments before there was a clicking sound as if a blaster was being readied to fire. Then there was some scuffling sounds and the flash of light. I think she ran into someone who knew she was carrying Gnat, and they fried him with an Ion gun."
"That doesn't make sense," said Satchal. "I saw her in a vision. She was surrounded by droids and blaster-fire and fighting for her life. There was no one else with her."
"Well you know Ivanna," Lialla commented harshly. "She likes to run off and play hero."
"That is true," said Brin'tac. "She does seem to enjoy heroics."
"Well whatever the case," said Satchal, "we need to go after her. Where was she last?"
"What makes you think we can do anything to help her?" asked Geldar. "Satchal we're in no condition for heavy combat. We just barely escaped a swarm of droids ourselves. I don't think…"
"To the fifth planet of Rigos with your thoughts, Geldar!" Satchal snapped. "I'm going after her. As long as I have breath I'm going to do everything I can to help someone who's in trouble."
"Someone who's in trouble, or just Ivanna who's in trouble?" said Lialla. "Think clearly, Satchal. Ivanna is a Jedi. She knows what she's doing, right?"
"Wrong," said Satchal. "You don't know her like I do. She may be a Jedi Master but she's not like the others. She's struggling with things you couldn't possibly understand."
"Is she a Master Jedi?" asked Lialla, speaking thoughts she'd only been keeping to herself. "She's been stranded on Hoth for ten years. Before that she was only a Jedi Knight, and from what I understand she was only barely a Jedi Knight. I thought Masters had to be accepted into their rank by the Jedi Council. If the council doesn't make you a master you can't be one, or am I totally wrong?"
"She has a point, Satchal," Geldar put in. "I never really thought about it, but she's right. She can't be considered a Master unless the council makes her one. She's acting outside the council when she teaches you."
Satchal was instantly defensive. "The council doesn't even know she's alive yet. When they find out I'm sure they'll see she's capable of teaching others."
"She's obviously confused," said Geldar. "A master that is confused should not be a master. They should be confident and know what they're doing before they try to train someone else. That's just common sense. How can you train someone when you are unsure yourself of your own training?"
Satchal was growing more and more angry with them, and Brin'tac knew he had to smooth things over, once again, to keep the group together. "Please! It is not our place to judge Ivanna," the Bothan pointed out, and instantly everyone turned to look at him. "We do not have to trust her, but if Satchal is willing to train under her there is little we can do to stop him. It doesn't do us any good to get angry with one another especially out here where distractions could mean our deaths. For now Ivanna travels with us, and hopefully before long we will once again be back to civilized worlds where we can have her stand before the Council to be judged by those far wiser than us in the ways of the Force. However, until that time I say we must accept her as a part of the team unless she proves to be false. It isn't good for us to be constantly suspicious of one another, and if you stop for a moment you will see that this suspicion isn't strengthening us. It is only splitting us apart. I, for one, will not let that happen."
"But if we don't deal with this now she might stab us in the back when we're most vulnerable," Lialla argued. "I'm telling you she will be the death of us all."
Satchal turned on her. "He's right, Lialla, and we have just as much reason to trust Ivanna as we do you." His words stung like jab from his lightsaber, and she seemed almost about to break out into tears. "You don't know her, but you know me. I trust her, and I'm asking you to trust my judgment concerning her."
"Do you know her," Lialla shot back, "or do you know who she wants you to know?"
"Please," said Brin'tac again. "Let's drop it. The fact is we have to decide now whether we are going to help Ivanna or go back to base. That is our current situation, and that is what we need to focus on."
"Brin'tac's right," said Geldar. "What do you all think?"
"I say we go back to base," said Kazzra'an. "I don't like the idea of risking our lives for someone we don't even trust all that much."
"Kazzra'an wants to go back," Geldar translated. "What about the rest of you?"
"Back," said Tso almost immediately, and he felt guilty for saying so. "I just don't think we're going to be much good wandering around anymore looking for Ivanna, and how do we know she isn't already back at base?"
Satchal threw his hands up in frustration. "Fine," he said. "Go. I'm going after Ivanna."
"Calm down, Satchal," Brin'tac encouraged. "The decision hasn't been made yet. The entire group hasn't decided, unless we aren't a team anymore."
Satchal fell silent and turned away trying to regain control over his emotions. "Lialla?" asked Brin'tac as he continued around the group.
"Home," she said without looking at anyone.
"I say we're already out here," put in Tarrsk, "we might as well go see what happened to her. It doesn't mean we have to get close enough to get caught in another trap."
"We didn't think we'd get caught in the last one," Kazzra'an replied. "What makes you think we won't get caught this time?" Geldar translated for those that didn't understand.
Tarrsk shrugged. "I don't care much, really."
"Geldar?" asked Brin'tac, and Geldar sighed heavily as if he was too tired to deal with anymore decisions.
"Let's go," he said meeting Satchal's surprised look. "She is one of us now whether we like it or not, and I don't feel right about leaving one of us in trouble."
This brought a groan from Tso who was obviously feeling guilty, and when Geldar said what he did it was clear Tso was changing his mind. "Okay," said Tso, "we should go, but I know we're making a mistake."
"What about you Brin'tac?" asked Geldar. "Do you think we should go or head home?"
"I agree with you Geldar," Brin'tac replied. "So that just leaves Nyarchagga."
Nyarchagga looked up at him with a smug grin. "I say we go, but it isn't for Lialla. I say we go for the real lost member of our team. I want to know what she did to my droid!"
"Fine," said Brin'tac. "Then it's settled. Let's go." He turned to Nyarchagga. "What's the best route from here into the Military District?
"Wait!" cried the sensor officer. "I don't think we have to go very far at all."
"What is it?" asked the other soldier.
"I'm suddenly picking up on a fast moving mass of life forms," he said, his eyes wide with disbelief. "It's like an army of living beings moving fast along some sewer tunnels just a few klicks north of here. They're just at the edge of our sensor range and moving fast."
"How quickly can we get there?" asked Satchal, his hopes rising.
The officer fell silent a moment as he gauged the distance and the routes of travel. "Fifteen to twenty minutes depending on how fast all of us can move," he said. "I could be wrong though. As I said before I'm no expert here."
"Great," said Satchal. "Then let's move. If there are people alive down here then maybe Ivanna found them and they'll know what happened to her."
"Right," said Geldar, and he gestured to the sensor officer. "Lead the way." And they were off once more moving as fast as they could through the dark passages of the Cloud City underground.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
the location the staff was unresponsive, distant,unwelcoming. Room size, decor, comfort level and service not in line with a 5 star hotel. Overall poor value for the money as the rate was high. Breakfast was not included with the room as with other 5 star hotels
The food was always excellent and beautifully presented and every member of the staff was courteous, efficient and friendly. No
Simply perfect hotel from all angles
Our suite-room had an wonderful amazing view. The interior of the room was very nice. The sparks restaurant is very nice too.( food id fine. ) The terrace in summer must be wonderful. Annex restaurant : Food was not that great for the money I expected. Tehnically perfect served, but for our tastea mixture of too many different spices. Servantes were too mannered.
The room was excellent. The staff friendly. The views magnificent and the location is great did not like the limited menus at restaurants.
The magnificent views, and high quality of hotel. Some of the staff didn't always seem they wanted to assist
Top quality management & staff service, excellent restaurant food and service and a very nice bar area with appropriate live music.
A wonderful experience. We have visited the hotel three times in the past and will stay there again
relaxed stay do nothing
The service was warm and very efficient. The food was first rate. And, of course, the setting was marvelous, very restful. Everything was perfect.
friendliness of hotel staff, familiar atmosphere If you expect a modern, state-of-the-art building, then you are at the wrong place.
Balcony view of lake was big bonus and the spa is great for when the weather is bad. Pillows were horrid
I like it because it,s small and that it is a family business but offers alot -good food and wellness
The Spa, good restaurant, quiet, exactly what we were looking for
I stayed at the Hotel Gerbi and thought that the service was slow and the food not up to the price - the breakfast was good, but when we said the the coffee was not hot enough, we were treated very unfriendly afterwards Our glasses of the night before were still in our room at 12.00 the next day.I can not answer the next questions as I have not seen any reviews
The panoramic view from the room, the friendliness of staff and the superb location No
The staff were friendly, the hotel was lovely and quiet and the views, well what can I say, breathtaking. As a female, business traveller, this hotel gave me a warm, comfortable feeling, as did the staff. I will definately return. A rare find. The only downside is the cancellation policy. Business dates often change and I can never give 30 days notice. If this was to be a regular stop for me, it would have to be flexible, to about 24 hrs for changes.
general cleanliness around and friendly staff no
Very friendly atmosphere, very clean and well cared for. Very welcoming and extremely pleasant stay with many additional small touches, eg robes, slippers and leaving gifts. Nothing that we did not like, but we did request some further written details regarding routines, times and services available within the hotel.
Apart staff which was very kind all other in this hotel is very, but very far from 4* standard. Coridor was cold and smelly, room was cold, heating in the bathroom was not working, picture on the presentation shows only anex to the hotel (wellness&spa) but not hotel, pictures of the rooms were far, but very far from the our room.
The location was beautiful and very relaxing. The restaurant was very good and the hotel was spotless. Family run and the staff were very helpful and accommodating.
Great views. Nice rooms. Staff was extremely nice and helpful since we were tourists!
great view, cute building , wonderful breakfast.
We liked the location very much. It is very close to the boat station which is convenient for a short stay and makes possible traveling around the lake. Also it is the very center of Weggis with easy access to the restaurants and performance on the stage The things which disappointed us were a poor design and a feeling of slightly abandoned place
Friendliness, older style by the lake. Good food. Nice village. Help with where to go to make the most of the stay. n/a
The hotel is located in a beautiful village on the lake shore with easy access to water taxis to other locations on the lake We were disappointed that the en suite facilities were not as we had anticipated (ie the shower facility was not a shower but a loose handset without mounting point). On checkout the credit card reader had to be taken outside to obtain a phone signal.
I liked the area, hotel very easy to find, good range of restaurants nearby, parking quite easy. Clean/comfortable room.
Manager was quite helpful and the breakfast was great! Also, the view of the lake was really nice. Clean and comfortable with all the expected amenities. It is quite dated and the walls are a bit thin. We had an angry neighbor banging violently on the wall as we used the bath at ten in the evening! Not a fault of the hotel so much as the neighbor, but it is something to be aware of. Price was quite high for the room, but this is a fault of the whole of Switzerland, really.
Very comfortable,great location easy to get to by ferry from Lucerne and Lucerne railway station and very relaxing. The only problem was staff communication at breakfast.
Service was excellent. Also the restaurant was very good. Bed and pillows
Excellent location, very scenic, on NW shores of Lake Lucerene. Friendly and helpful staff, stupendous breakfasts. Limited parking.
Everthing of this hotel was great... they warm welcome, hopitality, helpfulness, curtasy, Wifi, every member of the staff including resturant, cleaner, receptionist, owner,location, facilities, everything was great.... the best hotel among seven hotel I stayed during my europe vacation. special thanks to the cutiest and prettiest reception lady Dominique Eberle, which help and guide us all the time. No thing at all.... No negative concern...
In a quiet location. nice wellness centre, parking is free (when available) Pricey for being so far from the city (Luzern). Room are small
Exelent food No
Very good welcome at check in
An excellent location and a good hotel
good restaurant old furniture in the room
sona distance from port
Very peaceful and serene environment at the hotel which also reflects in each and every thing in the room. The spa is simply wonderful. The breakfast is made from freshest ingredients possible. Overall, I feel rejuvenated after being there
Nice hotel and friendly people. Excellent food. Great view from our room.
The hotel was well situated and had great facilities for a restful stay with a good spa . Staff were helpful and spoke very good English. We ate one evening meal at the hotel which although expensive was very good,breakfasts were excellent. The view across the lake and mountains from the 4th floor was a bonus even if it did include some rooftops.
It is very near to the train station and chapel bridge. A modern and comfortable hotel to stay in. It will be good if there is an electric kettle to make tea at night. But you can request a pot of hot hot water from the restaurant on the ground floor which is next to the reception.
the breakfast the hotel was dirty and the staff could not give a damn. horrible stinking rooms, cracked skinks and marks all over the floors. the staff were the most unhelpfull i have ever had the mis fortune to encounter
the friendliness of the staff, could not have been more friendly or helpful, really exceptional and applied to all staff that we came into contact with.
Close to the station and within walking distance of the town centre and lake.
Location, cleanliness
I was very pleased that the hotel was close to the concert hall and that there was adjacent parking.
Convenience to everything Too many buses unloading and reloading large tourist groups. Inadequate heating most days in breakfast area. Uncomfortable furnishings in public lobby area.
Nice bed, excellent location. Bad breakfast, poor services in restaurants.
Friendly staff and good breakfast and it's central location The loo roll holder's position
The Ameron was perfect location very walkable from and to the train station. Staff helpful, breakfast very good and lots of variety. Would highly recommend
It's a nice B&B. A little away from the tourist areas. It's a quiet area. It smelled a little funny in the bathroom. But overall good.
Excellent staff that make you feel very welcomed. Fabulous view of lake and mountain. Well equipped and very spacious junior suite. Ironing service is very useful and affordable. Wifi connection is very poor.
Central position in village We would have preferred a room with a bath rather than a shower.
Beautiful location; stunning views from room; friendly,helpful staff; excellent restaurant N/A
Great location, service, food, etc. A very positive experience. Overall, the best hotel on our 2 week trip to Switzerland.
Helpful staff, comfortable room, great view, relatively quiet after restaurant closes. In-room tea kettle leaked water onto the desk.
This was the best hotel in which we've ever stayed ...we felt extraordinarily warmly welcomed, our room was simply fabulous in every way, and the location was unbeatable! Barolo and Syrah, the resident 4-legged friends, made this an especially delightful stay. The food and all services were wonderful. We could have moved in and stayed forever! Not one single thing!
Clean new rooms. Quiet.
The rooms are very nice and spacious. Excellent restaurant with very good service on the lake . Very helpful and enthousiastic owners who are very good at recommending places to go. We certainly reccommend this hotel.
I was a little bit disappointed about the cleaness and staff of the hotel. My room is not-good views
The location was excellent and the room was very nice It was very hot and there were no fans available.
Good location with pick-up from the harbor, room was clean, food tasty, staff friendly
The staff did their best to help and answer any question and with a big smile even when carrying our heay luggage Internet was not availabe at rooms
The location is very good, quite and relaxing. The view is very nice over the lake. Close to the village centre. Excellent place to spend a relaxing weekend.
beautiful location, spacious room, large balcony, nice view. Food was very good, though it was not cheap.
Very large room for three - we were very satisfied and happy with that. The view was to the lake as well. We liked the dining in evening as well as morning. All together a good experience. A parking viegnette would be nice for the car lot in front.
The room was bright, cheerful and tastefully decorated with a great view over the lake and mountains, from both the room and the bathroom. Each had its own balcony. It was also very easily accessible from the boat station and an easy walk from the spas in Weggis. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The pool was heated . the tables beside the lake. Nice view from the balcone of the room. A kind lady which helped me to print my flight papers useing reception's computer. Cannot use internet at rooms. The pool is so small.
Amazing location, fantastic lake & moutain view!!! Heated pool with beutiful view - true amazing =) Near the ship's terminal. Good breakfast. Фантастическое месторасположение! Недалеко от пристани, откуда можно поплыть как во Флюэлен, так и в Люцерн. Рядом с подъемником на гору Риги, подогреваемый бассейн (мы купались в сентябре, вода +26), хороший ресторан при отеле. Очень понравилось! :)
The staff were superb, attentive but discreet. The room was wonderful,with an excellent large shaded terrace. A very pleaseant heated pool with the lake next to it for a colder swim. Food was good and typical of the area and although expensive was no more than other hotels in the town.
Lovely location by Lake Lucerne. Beautiful views from the balcony. Must be nice in summer. Some quite good restaurants nearby but a lot close out of season. Restaurant was closed and reception closed at 18.00 - not as advertised on booking.com website. I was given less than 24 hours notice of this by the hotel though I had booked weeks in advance.
Relax,enjoying pleasant atmosphere of mountains of the Alpes & lake, hiking (mountains Rigi, Pilatus), coinciding with nature, sunbathing,swimming, breathing wonderful air in the evening on the coast of lake. That's why Weggis became popular in the beginning of xix century, for ex. Very famous guests of Weggis were such people as Queuen Victory, Alexander Dyuma, Emil Zolya, Mark Tven, Sergey Rahmaninov.
Wonderful location in Weggis overlooking Lake Luzern. Superb restaurants nearby in Weggis and Vitznau Basic facility, no frills
The location in the city is nice. The room was smelly
Close to boat and bus station. Nice view over lake.
The location could not be beat No. When we discovered that our room AC was not working, we called and the moved us to another room.
close to the city and confortable hotel
The proximity to all places of interest in Luzern and the view from room. Professionalism of hotel staff and helpfullnes. Nothing really.
Location Price
Beautifully designed interiors, just expensive! lack of luggages carriers on arrival, but it was a holiday weekend
Very comfortable room, nice customer service, good lake view.
great hotel -elegant and comfortable rooms, centrally located, great restaurant and bar, ambience
Staff House keeping in the room was lacking. Floors not swept good and sink had toothpaste from previous day in it.
The location was very confenient for sight seeing and shopping. Service was good but nothing special. It was too outdated.
water, fruit in room and lobby, location, helpful, friendly staff, train city tour in front of hotel
I think the staff are very friendly,proffecianal and helpful. The porters were so nice which I think is very important as they are the first people you meet when you reach a hotel let alone when you are in a different country. The concierage I can not explain how polite and profecianal he was. Every thing was perfect NO
The location was excellent. The hotel is very expensive. It is rated a 5 star, but I would consider it 4. The carpets in the stairway was worn and the room was fairly small.
Friendly and professional staff. Nice Spanish hotel restaurant.
The room was very clean, and the staff friendly. None
breakfast , silent location, safe car parking room lighitings
pleasant staff and room valeted very well No
Close to train station, breakfast included and the mini bar is stocked with drinks for free, nice sized room, nice sized bathroom, nice decor, comfortable beds Price was HIGH and the air conditioner stunk. Smelled sour. I felt like I was breathing in mold
room comfortable and spacious and hotel located close to town and train station no english channel except news
The room and the bed
We were a group of 8 with 2 children and had a very pleaseant stay. We got the deal at the last minute and was very much satisfied with the facility and service of the Hotel. Staffs are all very freindly and helpful. On the day of check out they provided us with a breakfast pack which was really commentable and beneficial for early departures.
Great hotel with airconditioning which is rare in Switzerland. Excellent restuarant.
Extremely accommodating, great facility, friendly staff, AMAZING breakfast.
Great with good location and delicious breakfast.
They were great very professional and a great place to stay really enjoyed our stay
The cover bads were too much heavy for the summer season : the result was to have very hot temperature under the cover and very uncomfortable for agood sleeping. We have also to say that no air conditioning was available !!!
The hotel was outstanding. A great value for money paid. Its family oriented and very much appreciated and supportive staff turned our stay in Weggis to an enjoyable experience. I and my wife and our two small children enjoyed the room which was provided to us which had a large balcony with a great view to the lake Lucerne and the superb mountains. Availability of a private parking on the spot was another great advantage. Thank you.
We had a great view. The room was comfortable and the balcony was nice. Not really. As a retired person, I can be crotchety at times, but the hotel staff did a great job and the restaurant staff was outstanding. If we decide on a return trip, we'll definitely staff at this hotel.
views magnificent, most rooms overlook the lake and mountains across the lake. Rooms very clean, if dated. breakfast buffet not wide variety . I compare this poorly to others similarly rated steep walk to lake. uilding whole bneeds a professional makeover. roller blind in our room incredibly hard to move up and down, but reception not always manned so just lived with it. early checkout time imposed (1030)
Large room and a large bathroom with a bath. Excellent views overlooking the lake. Nice restauant.
Good views, friendly and helpful staff
Very helpful and friendly manager, nice staff. Superb view on the lake and mountain. Very good mexican restaurant. Good swimming pool! Pleasant and peaceful ambiance. Breakfast quite simple but ok
The room was small. Good location.
The views
The location and the view from our window/balcony was spectacular! Hotel is in a great location! Check-in staff was excellent!
Great view if you get the lake side. Nicely period fitted out large room. Room stuffy but the windows opened onto a quite foot path. The room was directly above the bar and the paino played lowdly until 11:30. Avoinf rooms over the bar.
Very well situated; beautiful view on the lake on the mountains from your balcony. The price level is comletely outrageous. The room is rather small, not over-equiped for a 5 star Hotel; breakfast is rather limited, so what remains is a beautiful view for an extreme price!
We liked the localion, the view, the garden, the breakfast, and the service.
I liked the location and the staff. I did not like staying in a room over the bar. On two occasions I had to ask the front desk to have the noise limited/ One evening was after 11 pm and the other after 12 am.
We have stayed in many so-called 5 star hotels throughout the world, but the Grand National is truly what it says it is - a 5 star hotel in every way. It's position, staff, quality of furnishings and food are truly excellent.
Location, restaurant & bar Small rooms, weird cut/shape, overstuffed with random furniture. Too noise with next doors, hall way noises very audible, especially in the morning with the house staff - vacuuming rooms with open doors... Not exactly 5 star hotel behavior.
only locatioin smell in the room, old and not value for money
I liked the location the best, right on the lake.
location no air conditioning, noice of the street because the room was in the first floor
The quality of the furnishings in the room - very luxurious. The size of the bedroom - very small
Convenince of location
Great Hotel with beautiful view. Bar open only till 1 o'clock, I think in such level of the hotel bar must be open 24h.
Nothing to not like - we splurged and stayed in a deluxe junior suite with a broad terrace overlooking the lake and Mt. Pilatus, which we climbed. Weather was perfect - Indian summer in September. The Friday night jazz trio was excellent. The restaurant, Jasper, was exquisite, the service perfect - efficient yet practically invisible. If I had to pick nits, I might add a Bose sound system in the room (we listened to jazz and opera from the flatscreen t.v.), and between the bar and restaurant they carried Taylor Fladgate tawny port 10, 20 and 30 year - why not the 40 year? On the other hand, the bathroom had a heated stone floor. Only regret was that we didn't have time to visit the spa, which offers a private room option. Next time, we might ask for the top room in the turret...overall a highlight weekend.
View and location
Staff and location superb. Not inexpensive.
Excellent staff and location
Ideally located, well appointed and prestigeous hotel in Luzern. Needs to care the extra bit for those details that one would expect from a 5-star house.

Peter Cook blames Christie Brinkley for his affair with 18-year-old girl. Christie's ex is going on TV show 20/20 tonight with his side of the story.
Cook's affair and the couple's divorce made headlines but media attention has died down. Maybe that's the reason Cook wants to go on national TV.
Extra reports that Christie Brinkley, made a statement yesterday about Peter Cook, appearing on an upcoming edition of 20/20. Her statement reads:
"It is a measure of Peter Cook's character that he has breached the confidentiality agreement that is in the divorce settlement and has sought to present this distorted one sided view of his marriage. Mr. Cook had his days in court, testified on his own behalf and ultimately agreed with the view of the children's court appointed attorney and psychiatrist that the children should live principally with their mother and that she should be the sole custodial parent."
I try not to be too opinionated but this story makes me crazy! Divorce is horrible and there are two sides to every story. But the dude cheated on wife with a teen. He blames her for his cheating and he's going on TV. His TV appearance can't be good for the kids.
You know what I think. Now I want to hear your opinion.
Question: What Do You Think About Peter Cook Going on 20/20?
He should be able to tell his side of the story.
He might have a reason, I want to try to be fair.
I'm skeptical about his motives for going on TV.
Even if he has a good reason, it's not good for the kids.
He's a weasel! Sounds like a jerk.

seventy two years later
sophia bell was in a bad mood, as she had been for a number of years. her back ached as she sat in the bath tub reading, or more, trying to read, but her skinny little arm wouldent hold the blasted book out of the water. she grunted and gave up, hoisting herself out of the bath and onto the floor, feeling much like a very old walrus. once she had gotten up, off the floor and got a firm grip on her walker, she bent down to lift the plug and let the water out, causing much objection from her back. grunting again she left the room to get dressed.
half an hour later she pulled on her sweater, her hair still somewhat wet. the sweater was red and covered in obnoxious yellow bobbles. sohpia hated yellow. she also hated bobbles. actually, come to think of it, sophia just remembered she hated red as well. oh well, stupid sweater, better were it though, she thought, else, what would be the point in my making it?
she grasped her walker again and made her way towards the door. she twisted the knob but it stuck. she rattled it, and yanked on it and eventually put her foot against the wall for leavrage, but it wouldent open. sophia sat down on the floor, arms folded.
she thought hard.
oh. right. keys.
she got to her feet and wheeled the walker into her kitchen, angrily looking around the room. there, in the basket by the microwave. she glared at it and the keys rose into the air. sophia turned to leave, the floating keys following behind her obediantly, and doing there best not to jingle. sophia hated it when things jingled.

Australia's Anglican Church says it is 'ashamed' after a new report reveals the scale of child sex abuse.
The head of Australia's Anglican Church said he was 'deeply ashamed' after a government report found nearly 1,100 people had filed child sexual assault claims against the church over a 35-year period.
The interim report, published on Friday by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, said 1,082 people lodged complaints between 1980 and 2015 that identified 569 Anglican clergy, teachers and volunteers as alleged abusers. There were an additional 133 alleged abuses reported by people whose roles within the church were unknown.
The report also found that most children were approximately 11 years old at the time of the first alleged incident of child abuse, and on average it took 29 years for each incident to be reported.
'Deeply ashamed'
Archbishop Philip Freier, the church's primate, said Anglicans have been "shocked and dismayed" at the findings of the report.
"We are deeply ashamed of the many ways in which we have let down survivors, both in the way we have acted and the way we have failed to act," Freier said in a statement.
"I wish to express my personal sense of shame and sorrow at the way survivors' voices were often silenced and the apparent interests of the Church put first," he added.
Anne Hywood, the general secretary of the Anglican Church of Australia, told the royal commission on Friday that the church acknowledged it "allowed harm to continue".
She also reiterated a 2004 apology to abuse victims, saying the church "apologises unreservedly" and is committed to taking action.
Anglican bishop resigns
On Thursday, Greg Thompson, the Anglican Bishop of Newcastle, announced his resignation months after he testified he was not safe in his community due to his work to address child sexual abuse.
Thompson, who was sexually molested as a teenager by a bishop, said he was quitting focusing on his health.
In November, he told the royal commission that people of power provided protection during decades of abuse by clergy and lay people in the diocese. He also said he felt there were consequences if he did not follow what some within the diocese wanted him to do.
The royal commission is also investigating abuse allegations against other religious institutions.
Last month, it was told the Australian Catholic Church paid $212 million in compensation to thousands of victims since 1980.
READ MORE: 'Shocking' scale of Catholic Church sex crimes revealed
The inquiry also heard that about seven percent of Catholic priests in Australia were accused of sexually abusing children between 1950 and 2010.
Church sexual abuse was put into the spotlight in 2002 when it was revealed that US Catholic bishops in the Boston area helped protect alleged abusers by moving them from parish to parish.
Similar scandals have since been revealed worldwide.
