Matthew 17:1-8
OPEN: Back in 1884 John Henry Patterson formed the National Cash Register Co. and he led the company to prominence and profitability. He made it successful because he paid attention to details and kept an eye on each dept. in the company.
At one point, it became apparent that the factory was having a high number of burglaries. Patterson was convinced that the security staff was not doing their job. So, one night, he put on a phosphorescent suit and rode up to the plant on a white horse. He jimmied opened the door to the tool room, helped himself to several spare parts and rode off, without being challenged.
The next morning, he replaced the security staff.
APPLY: Now, why did Patterson replace the security staff?
He did that because they weren't doing their job.
They weren't paying attention.
Here in Matthew 17, we have God trying to get the attention of Peter, James and John. It's fairly obvious that this was the reason Jesus bro't them to this mountain. A lot of times, Jesus would take his men aside for a time of teaching or prayer, but this time, it's a little different.
No sooner had they reached the pinnacle when Jesus turns around... and his entire appearance has changed. His face shines like the sun, and His garments became as white as the light.
As if that weren't enough, two men appear beside Jesus. We're not told how the disciples knew who they were but they suddenly realized these two men were Moses and Elijah.
The apostles are understandably excited.
Notice what Peter says to Jesus in Matthew 17:4, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters- one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."
Suddenly a cloud descends on them and surrounds them. Matthew 17:5 tells us a powerful voice speaks from the cloud "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
The excitement of the Disciples turns ...

- - Instrument panel came right out (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/57017-instrument-panel-came-right-out.html)
Instrument panel came right out
So I have a Volvo Penta 2002 on a 1986 boat, the instrument panel is the standard version. To stop the engine you pull the stop. Only yesterday when I did just that, the whole panel came right out. The panel itself was brittle and the corners (where the panel was screwed in) just broke off.
Never having replaced such a panel before, I need guidance. How is it done? Does anyone know of or have a tutorial or installation manual I can refer to? It doesn't have to be the same model.
For example, one thing I'm wondering is whether I can replace the panel without disconnecting everything from the engine and pulling all the wiring clear out in order to thread the wiring through the holes in the new panel. Or can, say, the stop handle, be removed, the line moved to the new panel, then the handle reattached on the new panel - without pulling the whole thing clear out.
Thank you for any help or advice. I appreciate it.
If you can't get another panel, mount everything on a piece of marine grade plywood and put that in place. The stop handle should screw off the cable. The electrical connections should be relatively easy to remove and put together again. Just draw a diagram if you're unfamiliar with them. This was done on my Merlin when I re-powered and the Yanmar panel was too big for the cut-out in the coaming. Took the tach, starter, etc. off the panel, mounted evrerything on a piece of plywood and set it in. Painted it black and that was it.
If it would look better (strickly your choice), a piece of white or black 1/2 or 3/8 inch plastic (I "think" they call it Starboard) could also make a nice panel backing. In addition to drawing a diagram (and that is a must) take lots of pictures with your digital camera up close BEFORE you pull any wires off.
You might even want to get some masking tape and a sharpie and label each wires as you take it off.
They all look good now, but get a dozen wires off and they "all look the same!"
The corners broke off?
Cheap fast and simple cure, get four barrel washers (large washer with small hole) or cut four triangles out of black/white plexi to use as washers, and just put them on top of the pieces, screw/bolt it back in.
If you want to replace it, after you use the masking tape, sharpie, and digicam, take the old panel to a bowling trophy shop or a plexi shop, and they can make up a copy for you. (The trophy shop can engrave labels, the plexi shop probably has other virtues<G>)
Or...Check out CNC Machine Shop | Custom Waterjet, Plasma, Laser Cutting | eMachineShop.com where you can download simple CAD/CAM software for free. Make up your own custom panel, on your computer, and they'll fabricate it and send it back to you. Wood, metal, plastic...one heck of a way to do a custom job.
Of course the washers will get you back sailing faster.<G>

|Re: Clarification on converter concept

In Cocoon we only have the "convertors" in CForms. The "converter concept" is about improving the CForms convertors and making them available in templates (and possibly in other places). There is an old prototype https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1345. >> will be used to tell Cocoon that user expects 'date' request >> parameter to be formatted as short date (whatever it means). > I ask because I don't consider that one a good idea. Not the syntax > itself, but the fact that you can "select" a particular converter. > Why? Read on ... :-) Normally you don't choose what converter to use. The framework select based on data type and locale. But for e.g. dates there are several different string representations (short, medium, full and long or maybe some custom format) that the template or form author needs to choose between. To me it seem reasonable to have a syntax for making this possible in e.g. the template. ... > Think so.

I'm really deep inside > Spring MVC at the moment :-) Feel free to ask where I should elaborate. I didn't manage to follow all the technical details. But in general it would of course be good to reuse the Spring stuff. The main hurdles is that the Spring mechanism doesn't support locales in any systematic way and that it is not obvious how to use it for a webapp that supports multiple locales. While it clearly has a lot of overlap with what we want for the new improved OM, expression handling and converters it is far from an 1-1 mapping. It would be nice if you could expand a little bit more on what advantages in using the Spring stuff that you see. Architecture ============ Anyway, let us discuss architecture a little bit so that we can be more concrete about how the Spring stuff would fit in: The "converter architecture" as I imagine it consist of three parts. * Converters: that provides a bidirectional mapping between objects and string representations of them. * Converter registry: where converters are registered together with what type they act on and optionally what locale they handle and maybe a variant (the later for handling multiple representations). The registry has a lookup method that finds the right converter based on data type, locale and variant. The lookup method probably contains default strategies and fall back methods for parameter combinations where no converter is registered. * Integration: The template and forms uses the converter registry for finding the right converter for going from objects found with the expression language to string representation and for converting form input to the right kind of object. Applying the architecture ========================= Converters ---------- For the converters we have the CForms convertors today http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/trunk/blocks/cocoon-forms/cocoon-forms-impl/src/main/java/org/apache/cocoon/forms/datatype/convertor/Convertor.java, the most imortant methods are ConversionResult convertFromString(String value, Locale locale, FormatCache formatCache); String convertToString(Object value, Locale locale, FormatCache formatCache); It is not that different from the setAsText and getAsText methods of the PropertyEditor http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/beans/PropertyEditor.html. An important differences are that the convertor depends on a locale which the property editor doesn't. IMO it would be cleaner to have the locale dependency in the registry instead of in the converter. Next the convertor needs a format cache, this is IIRC because date and number formating objects not are thread safe and takes some work to construct. When the forms framework was written, thread locals where quite inefficient, so an external cache was used instead. This is not a problem in Java 1.4 so we could use a thread local cache and get rid of the format cache in the API. Last the convertFromString returns a ConversionResult while setAsText throws a IllegalArgumentException for badly formated input strings. I haven't looked at the details and have no opinion about this. As a conclusion I think that PropertyEditors would work fine for us if we find it worthwhile. Some effort is needed for integrating them in the forms framework. Converter Registry ------------------ The PropertyEditorRegistry http://www.springframework.org/docs/api/org/springframework/beans/PropertyEditorRegistry.html of the Spring framework, register and lookup "converters" based on class and property path. For a Cocoon framework I would prefer looking up a converter based on class, locale and variant, while I don't see any obvious use cases for property path. So the fit between the PropertyEditor lookup and our needs is not that obvious AFAICS. Integration ----------- The BeanWrapper http://www.springframework.org/docs/api/org/springframework/beans/BeanWrapper.html could be interesting as a "container" for the expression handling and converter stuff in Cocoon. Then the forms framework and template would connect to the object model through our custom BeanWrapper. In this case we would have a custom implementation that could use our more general plugable ELs as property path strings. Also here it is unclear what to do with locale handling. --- o0o --- So as a conclusion: it would be nice to reuse the Spring stuff and there are big overlaps, but especially for locale handling it is not obvious to me how to use it. Then of course there is the question if it is worthwhile to reuse. WDYT? /Daniel

Council hears about Comal River rowdies By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer All sides had their say in last night's city council public hearing to discuss alcohol and trash on the Comal River. They made some progress, too — forming a committee to study Comal River problems will be on the next city council agenda. "I encourage all interested parties to turn in applications for the committee," Mayor Paul E. Fraser Jr. said. Fraser was responsible for putting the public hearings on alcohol and trash on the river on last night's agenda, he said. Several riverside property owners complained about bad behavior on the river. "The language is horrible. The indecency is beyond description," a resident said. "Believe me, I have chased people off my property, and they have been so inebriated it's disgusting." Trash on the river can be blamed on drunken "party tubers," said another resident. "You name it, you can fish it out — cans, glass, plastic, diapers, sanitary items," a resident said. The Comal River is not an awful place or a cesspool, said a resident. "Fortunately we have laws on the books that can control drunkenness, litter and trespassing," a resident said. Regulating alcohol on the river isn't the solution, said Nora Morales of the Comal County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. "We cannot regulate morality," she said. The city of New Braunfels does not have the power to ban alcohol on the Comal River because it is under state jurisdiction. City Attorney Jacqueline Cullom said. "The bottom line is that I cannot find any legal authority that would allow the city to pass an ordinance banning alcohol on the river," Cullom said. Wurst fest is an example of how the city can control bad behavior without banning alcohol, said beer distributor Joe Miller. "Let's send the message to those undesirables by enforcing the laws on the books," he said. "How do you stoke the balance?" Fraser asked. "What can we do to ensure enforcement yet not keep tourists away?" Citizens came up with several constructive ideas for improving the quality of the Comal River: ■ mesh bags issued with tubes ■ trash disposal along the river ■ money-for-cans recycling unit at river exits ■ a boat patrol ■ portable rest rooms along the river. Outfitters Zero Rivers and Jay Felger each volunteered to serve on a committee to target river problems. Rivers also said he could donate equipment to help patrol the river and keep it clean. "I'll be glad to help in any way I can — I'll sit on a committee," he said. The idea of a committee is a good one, Councilwoman Jan Ken-nady said. "I think we've had a really good session here." she said. "I've picked up a lot of ideas." School daze Herald-Zeitung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL While the calendar may say it is still summer, every kid knows summer is over when school goes back into session. Classes in New Braunfels and Comal school districts resumed yesterday. Pictured are Jamie Brewer and Tyson Labow8ki in Mrs. Barbara Haupert's third grade class at Seele Elementary. Local business owners support newr noise ordinance By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Citizens and the city council made some headway on curbing excessive noise in New Braunfels at last night's meeting. Several citizens spoke out against excessive noise and vulgar music. "This is a family oriented town and we want to send the message that we don't want this here in our community," resident David Wallace said. City Attorney Jacqueline Cullom gave city council members sample noise ordinances from other cities. "Our current ordinance is not very good," Cullom said. "It's vague, and it's hard to enforce " The city should come up with a viable sound ordinance that uses a decibel meter, performer Monty Tyler said. "We as business owners need something to gauge ourselves on," said Ron Gonzales, representative of the Comal County Bar and Restaurant Association. "We as business owners and club owners are in support of a noise ordinance." The city council agreed to choose a committee to look at revising the city's noise ordinance. "I think it can be defined simply," Councilman Tim Walker said. Guadalupe County joins the club — bans open fires By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer Current dry conditions have prompted Guadalupe County to implement a ban on all outdoor burning, effective Monday. Guadalupe County Judge Jim Sagebiel said the ban went into effect yesterday and bans any outdoor burning except in a very confined container. He said some residents have 50 gallon drums w ith a mesh cover that they use to bum household items. He said this w ill be acceptable as long as it is watched. "The fire department will tell you those things get out of hand very quickly, and the next thing you know, it's in a mobile home park, or near a house," said Sagebiel. The ban was implemented after several rural fires in the past week came close to causing extensive damage, he said. He added that the area has received afternoon showers, but these are not enough to make a difference in the dry conditions. "We couldn't wait any longer, and we decided it was time to move forward," he said. The ban will remain in effect until conditions improve. Comal and Hays counties have already issued bans, and these will also remain in effect until the arca receives rain. Leadership New Braunfels class picked Class includes 21 people from 16 professions Herald-Zeitung photos by MICHAEL DARNALL Color my world Hundreds of people turned out for the Summer Crafts and Gifts Show at the New Braunfels Civic Center Saturday and Sunday. Above, people add their work to a 48-foot-long mural at the show. At right, Joanna Palmer, with her dad, Lawrence Palmer and her sister Kate (in the background), also work on the mural. The "Class of '96'' has been selected by the Leadership New Braunfels Committee, according to Dennis Hcitkamp, chaii of the program. "We had over 160 nominations and nearly 40 applications so the committee had a difficult task selecting," he said. Twenty-one individuals were selected, representing 16 different professions, with the average age being 39. Types of professions include small business, banking, tourism, government, nonprofit, utilities, industry, medical, real estate and education. Selectees include Terry Adams, Schlitterbahn; Teresa Berger, Rennert Travel; Arturo Cantu, First Commercial Bank; Lupe Castaneda, Mission Valley Textiles; Jimmy Castillo, Zoeller Funeral Home; Sherry Clarkson, Comal County; James Dunks, UFS Securities; Phyllis Foerster, New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce; Rosemary Garza, New Braunfels Utilities; Dav id Hahn, Holiday Inn; Hallow Hardw ick, Texas Industries, Inc.; Sherry Hill, Gonzales County Health Agency, Inc.; Tara Kohlenberg, San Antonio State Hospital; John Lovett, River City Builders, Inc.; Barry Moore, attorney; Jose Parra, NB1SD; Nan Scranton, McKenna Memorial Hospital; Bette Spain and Wes Studdard, Bluebonnet Motors; Randy Vanstory, Quick Align; and Erin Wilson, Col-ortyme. According to Hcitkamp, the Class of '96 will be presented at a community leaders reception on Sept. 14 at the Civic Center followed by a 2-day retreat at T Bar M Sept. 16-17. Starting in Oct., and each month thereafter through May 1996, the class will meet for I -day sessions on various topics. "Graduation is set for May 16, 1996," said Hcitkamp Leadership New Braunfels is a program produced by the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce. The goal of the program is to bring together a diverse group of men and women who seek the opportunity to expand their involvement in community affairs and are willing to assume leadership roles. "This is the fourth class, with 67 graduates/alumni to date. Topics to be covered for this year's class include the mechanics of government, sen .ees provided by government, the economy, media relations, volunteering health and human services, leadership and organizational skills, and visioning for the future," concluded Heitkamp.U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison asks for your opinions.

text: Negotiations between union nurses and administration at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor have broken down. It now looks like a work stoppage may be unavoidable.The two sides met again Monday morning, but talks between unionized nurses and hospital administration quickly broke down. A little before noon, a federal mediator told the two sides no progress could be made. Judy Brown, President of the Nurses Union at EMMC says nurses say they did make one concession. "We have offered to officially take wages off the table so that there's no doubt in anybody's mind that this is about safe patient staffing," says Brown. "The medical center is still holding firm so it's on them at this point." Greg Howat, the V.P. of Human Resources EMMC, says the two sides have had plenty of time to iron out their differences. The federal mediator has asked the two sides not to contact each other directly until the next bargaining session. "It's really not a matter of not having enough time to reach an agreement, we've had plenty of time," he says. "It's a matter of the inclination of the parties and there's no lack of communication. We're very clear on our positions but we're far apart."Negotiations scheduled for later this week have been cancelled. The nurses announced last week a one-day strike scheduled for Monday November 22nd. An ad that appeared on the website Craig's List over the weekend, offering up to $49 per hour for replacement nurses. Hospital officials say once they were made aware of the ad, placed there by an employee at a recruiting agency, it was removed. They confirm it will be expensive to staff the hospital during the work stoppage. "It's going to be a lot of money but we obviously have no option but to make sure that we have sufficient nurses and other staff who are here," says Howat.Union nurses say it will cost more than $1 million and there is a better way the hospital can spend that money. "What they could do is actually hire 20 new grads full time for a year," says Brown. "That would go a long way to help solve some of the issues"Howatt says there are other nurses strikes over similar issues going on around the country in Michigan and Washington D.C. He says the situation going on here in Bangor is going to be difficult to resolve. "I think that the experience that we're both going to go through, this is a painful process for both sides. I think we're going to find out what it's going to take and frankly there may be more than one strike."The two sides are not scheduled to head back to the negotiating table until after Thanksgiving.

Chapter 9: I'm Sorry!
Wai~! I got so maaaaany reviews! I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever but I've been so busy with the school musical and now that it's over I finally have time! YAY~! For those of you who think the misunderstandings are getting to be a bit much…well this chapter should make you happy. ;D I can't believe how many people actually like Lucifer lol! I like the bad guys as well and Lucifer is pretty awesome but it's still going to be Sebastian/Harry. Here's another chapter for all those who reviewed so quickly and so nicely. I'll try to be a bit better about my editing…
The memory faded and Lucifer chuckled. He licked Shaste's blood off of his hand and plotted how he was going to fetch his gem from the human world once he was found.
Harry sighed. Agni had once again attacked men at an Indian restaurant and left them hanging upside down. It was nice that the white haired man was doing this to protect Soma from the pain of meeting Meena but it was also a betrayal of sorts. And Harry didn't like betrayal.
'But what can I do?'
Nothing of course. He was only there to protect the youngest Bengal Prince and nothing else. So that was exactly what he was going to do. Maybe meeting Meena would make the boy grow up some as well.
"Soma I don't think it's a good idea to go that way," Harry chimed as the boy turned to go down an alleyway. Harry could feel Sebastian's energy and he was having a hard time making sure that his own was undetectable. He was not ready to face the older demon so soon.
"Nonsense! With Agni here nothing can hurt me."
'The boy is an idiot and way too overconfident. That's going to get him killed one day.'
Harry said nothing as the prince continued on. He looked around for a moment before deciding that the rooftops would be a better way to travel until they passed Ciel –Cub!- and Sebastian -Rejection!-. He discreetly jumped up and landed softly on the flat top of the building and followed after the two Indians.
About halfway down the alley his charge ran into what looked to be a brewing fight. Of course Soma being the idiot he was decided to join with his kinsmen without even knowing the details of what was going on. Harry glanced to see who Agni was about to fight and his heart constricted in pain. His energies lashed out in grief before he tightly reined them in. But it was too late. Sebastian had glanced up and seen him.
Harry really, really wanted to leave now but he couldn't leave Soma in the middle of a fight no matter how protected the boy was. Luckily for Harry, Agni attacked before Sebastian could call him out. The two were very evenly matched with Ciel being held in the butler's other hand. Harry had to admit that he was impressed with how strong Agni's gift was.
"I have struck your marma (pressure point) many times. Normally, your arm would be paralyzed by now. So why can you still move?" Agni asked in confusion.
Sebastian stayed silent and discreetly scanned the area. 'Is he looking for me?' Harry had jumped to a different rooftop during the battle just to make sure he wasn't seen again. Unfortunately, that didn't happen as Sebastian caught him in the corner of his eye. Before he could speak though, Ciel started struggling in the demon's arms.
"Hey! We were just passing through when those Indians picked a fight with us! Are all Indians barbarians who indiscriminately attack any Englishmen they lay their eyes on!?"
Harry's eyebrows rose. Ciel had become a bit more vicious since he had left. Soma looked confused for a moment before he turned to his kinsmen and imperiously asked, "You there! Did you attack the runt and his companion without reason?"
"Well that won't do," the prince huffed. "The fool is he who wages war without cause. Agni we are siding with the runt and his companion. Our brothers are in the wrong this time!"
'I think that's the only wise or smart thing that I've heard come out of his mouth since I've met him.'
"All done Lord Soma~!"
"Good. You two aren't hurt are you?"
"No," Sebastian said a bit shocked.
"And you runt, a child should not be in a place like this. It's dangerous," Soma said as he plopped Ciel's fallen hat back onto its rightful owner's head.
"Lord Soma you have done a good deed!"
"It was my duty as a child of God."
Harry snorted. A child of God indeed. He made sure to follow close behind his charge so that Sebastian would not come after him.
"Sebastian. You're staring into space again. I thought you had gotten over this. Now what happened?"
Sebastian looked down at Ciel with a slight grimace upon his features.
"I am positive that I saw Hadrian on the rooftops during the fight."
Ciel snorted. "Don't tell me demons can hallucinate."
Sebastian said nothing.
Harry stared in horror at the house in front of them. This was Ciel's winter house in London and he would be damned if he was going to step one foot in there. Why were they here again? Oh yea. In India it is custom to invite your benefactor into the house. Stupid customs! He watched as Soma and Agni went inside and let out a huff. Well his charge wasn't going to be hurt in that house so he would just stand guard.
It was a couple hours later that Ciel's scream of 'GET OOOUUUT!' could be heard clear across London. The lights went out around eleven and Harry settled down for a long night of playing watchdog. There was something in the air that was bugging him so he was on high alert. So it came as a shock when a gloved hand came across his mouth and an arm wound across his arms and torso like a steel bar.
"Hello Hadrian."
Harry let out a muffled protest. It was Harry dammit!
He felt a cold nose press into the side of his neck. A deep breath was taken to get his smell and Harry was fighting tears…again.
It wasn't fair! Sebastian had rejected him. Why was he doing this?
"Why did you run Hadrian? I didn't mean to sound as if I was rejecting you, you know. I was shocked and disappointed that you would hide something like that from me. Ciel told me all about you being a half-demon."
Harry's eyes widened. That couldn't be! Why did his cub betray him? Before Sebastian could say anything else, the small green eyed demon took his captor by surprise with a painful bite to the hand. Then he was able to wriggle loose from the hold and sprint towards the clustered buildings of London. Sebastian took chase not a second and later.
It was exhilarating zipping through London with someone on his tail. His instincts were running rampant. He had always been a submissive demon, though most wouldn't figure that out because of his personality, and this was the thrill of the hunt. A demon with which he had exchanged his essence with was chasing him. Mate!
That threw him off guard and for a second Harry was suspended in the air as he tripped on a curb. Then he was hitting the floor harshly, though it hardly hurt, and came to a tumbling stop right in front of an alleyway. Harry had come to his senses. Sebastian wasn't his mate!
He jumped up to run again but he had barely made it into the alley before a heavy weight slammed into his back and he was hitting the ground again. He struggled underneath Sebastian's body and managed to turn and get chest to chest with the man but he couldn't make the butler budge any further. Then sharp teeth scraped along his neck and instinctively his head jerked to the side to give more access. Before Harry even knew what was happening there was a sharp pain in his shoulder juncture as enamel tore through the flesh.
Harry struggled but the teeth only sank deeper and he whimpered in pain. There was only one thing to do now… The wizard let his whole body relax in the perfect picture of submission. It took a few moments but Sebastian finally pulled his head away and turned to stare into Harry's eyes. They were slitted and glowing and Harry was absolutely enamored with them. He had always liked the color red (even in Voldemort's eyes though he would never admit that) and to see it in such a handsome face was amazing.
Sebastian rested his forehead upon Harry's own and softly breathed out, "You're mine now."
"Why?" was all the smaller one could choke out.
Sebastian gazed at Harry intensely before he gave a slight smile. "I promised in our contract to give you everything you wanted, didn't I? Your mind may not have said it but your body and heart were crying out for someone to love you Harry. So I will give that to you."
"You called me Harry," he said breathlessly.
Sebastian chuckled and Harry could feel it rumble through the demon's chest. "Don't get used to it. It's quite fun to annoy you."
Harry frowned in annoyance and Sebastian kissed him softly and lightly.
"See your cute when your angry. But I don't like your fear Harry. When Ciel told me about you coming from another dimension he left something major out. I want to know what it is."
Harry's eyes widened. He didn't want Sebastian to know. He could reject him again for being a freak.
'But hasn't he already claimed me? Ciel said that demons are abominations as well. If he rejects me it would only be hypocrisy.'
The wizard blinked. His thoughts were right. So he summoned up all the Gryffindor courage that remained and whispered, "I'm a wizard."
Sebastian stared in bewilderment.
Harry chuckled. "In the dimension that my mother fled to… there were beings called witches and wizards that could utilize magic. It's almost similar to demonic energy though they are two separate things. I attended a magical school in Scotland. The geography there was the same as here though they were much farther into the future than this dimension. I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you would reject me like my frie- ex…friends did back home. They basically enslaved me…"
"Harry what's that you're reading?"
Hermione's inquisitive features popped over the side of the Gryffindor common room couch. He tried to tuck it away but her greedy hands pulled the journal from his grip.
The raven haired wizard stood quickly and tried to get his mother's journal back. If she read that… "Mione that was my mother's give it back!"
She paused in her taunting and looked guilty. "Oh I'm sorry Harry. You know I didn't mean… Here." She handed it back and Harry took it gratefully. "So is there anything interesting that your mother wrote."
Harry sighed. Nothing could keep her curiosity at bay. "Well it just talks about her family life mostly. She met Snape when she was young, before Hogwarts actually. I mean, I knew that from his memories but the information coming from my own mother just makes it so much more…more…"
"Plausible? Real?"
"Yea, that thanks," he chuckled.
"Anytime Harry! It's what I'm here for, right?" There was bitterness in her voice that he had never heard before. Looking at his friend sharply, the wizard asked if she was okay. A small smile crossed her features before it melted away into depression.
"You know, I thought I loved Ron Harry but lately he's just been so overbearing. Yesterday I was talking to Neville on the properties of the new plant that he discovered on the battleground in front of Hogwarts. When Ron came Neville was polite and friendly but… Ron, he lashed out and left poor Neville with a black eye. Said I wasn't allowed to hang out with other guys. I was his girl and no one else's. It's only gotten worse. If he knew I was here at Hogwarts today and not at the burrow in his room I'm afraid he would beat me Harry, I really am."
Harry was gob smacked. He knew nothing of this. "Why didn't you say something earlier Mione!?"
"I would have but I never got the chance to. Today was the only day I could sneak out of the house-"
There was a great woosh from the fireplace and Ron (everyone that was helping to rebuild the castle had been allowed into the floo system) stormed into the common room. He swung his head around like a giant bull looking for something to skewer and his eyes landed on the now cowering Hermione.
"There you are!"
The two other builders in the room paused. Harry stood up blocking his friend from view. Hermione had always been closer to him and he had no qualms going up against Ron to protect her. That looked to be exactly what he would have to do as the gangly redhead charged forward in a rage. Harry knew he wasn't as heavily muscled as his friend but he could still hold his own with speed. The ravenette pulled Hermione and himself out of the line of fire just in time and Ron went crashing into a table. It didn't keep him down for long, though.
The green eyed wizard pulled his wand but wasn't able to complete a spell before the taller male plowed him into the floor. His head crashed onto the stone floor with a loud smack and his hand reacted by loosening his fingers allowing his wand to slip from his grasp. Harry barely had any time to recover before a freckled hand sent his head snapping the other way. A few more punches and his face felt like it was going to collapse inwards. Dimly, Harry could make out screaming and someone was tugging on Ron. Apparently they succeeded in their task because he couldn't feel any more weight crushing him.
With great effort he opened his eyes to see the only three other people in the room room (Hermione, Seamus, and Padma) restraining the rampaging man. Ron was able to get one hand free and he sent Hermione flying with a backhand to the face.
That was the last straw. Something inside of Harry snapped at that moment and he felt as his bones shifted and his wounds healed. The black haired boy didn't know how he looked at the moment but from everyone's faces it was terrifying, but that didn't matter. His instincts were calling for Ron's blood and he wasn't going to deny himself the pleasure. He surged across the room and tore the redhead limb from limb. Blood flew and his inner beast sang.
A few minutes later as he was licking his hands clean the sound of sobs and sniffles came from the corner and he glanced up to see Hermione curled up in a ball. Seamus and Padma were nowhere to be found, and had probably fled when he attacked Weasley. He gave a low questioning whine and her head shot up in fright.
"Hermione?" His voice was somewhat distorted and it was sort of hard to talk with all the sharp teeth in his mouth but he wasn't going to let that deter him. He took a step forward and she curled in on herself even more. This time his voice was more of a whimper, "Mione?"
"Harry?" The question was so low he would have missed it if it wasn't for his newfound sense of hearing. He nodded.
She slowly and shakily stood. Then she hobbled over and hesitantly touched his face. A small purring started in his chest and she giggled lightly. There was a momentary pause before she threw herself in his arms.
"What happened to you Harry?"
"This… This came from my mother I think. In her journals she wrote that she was from another dimension where demons existed."
A small gasp escaped her but she didn't try to pull away. Instead she only deepened her grip whispering 'Oh, Harry!'. They stayed that way for a full two minutes before the portrait was thrown open and people streamed in. Harry looked up in alarm when he felt energy gathering that was aimed at him. He quickly pushed Hermione away and about twenty full force stunners knocked him out.
The next time he awoke they put the brand on his hand.
"They killed her when she tried to stand up for me. They thought I had messed up her mind or something…"
"So you can use more power which makes you stronger and you thought I was going to reject you like those worthless creatures from your home dimension?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow and gave him a look that said he thought Harry was a bit stupid.
Harry sniffed. "Wanker."
"Throwing insults now are we? Hmph. Maybe you don't want to finish the ritual after all."
And then Harry noticed that he was still trapped beneath his captor and their face were barely centimeters apart.
Harry surged forward to capture his demon's lips. Sebastian made no protests as Harry deepened the kiss. It became more and more forceful until both men lost themselves to their instincts. Vaguely Harry felt his body shift into his demon form and Sebastian followed suit. If anyone were awake they would have been terrified of the guttural screams and moans that pervaded the alley that night. But no one was near, only the dead and sleeping and they held no interest in the happenings of the alley.
Harry frowned when he looked at the manor again. He officially had a mate but he didn't want to face Ciel just yet (Soma being in the house had nothing to do with it, not at all). From what Sebastian had told him after their post-orgasmic haze, the servants from the Phantomhive manor were in there as well. He hadn't known them all that well, even if he had spent a lot of time with Finny in the garden, but he knew that they liked him and would probably try to maul him with welcome back hugs. He was not looking forward to that…
Around two o'clock there was a high pitch ring that emanated from the house that only Harry could hear. Sebastian was calling. Well guess it was time to say hello to his cub again…
Ciel was floored. There was a human that could hold his own against a devil!
"Young Master?" Ciel glanced up at Sebastian. "Someone is here that I think you would like to meet."
"Well, let them in then."
"Of course."
The butler opened the door and Ciel almost fainted from shock (he would never admit that even under the threat of death).
"Harry," he asked breathlessly.
"Hello Little Lord." There was a slight smile upon the wizards face.
"Soma! I was wondering where you had disappeared to!"
A frown appeared on Harry's face as he glanced at the prince occupying Ciel's household.
"I am not your babysitter."
Ciel blinked. "Is that where you ran off to? India?"
Harry didn't like how Ciel has said that. It made him sound like a coward. –But you ran- Harry grumbled about annoying inner voices before turning his attention back onto his cub.
"Yes. I was staying in India."
"Hadrian. I'm curious," Harry's eye twitched. "Was Prince Soma named after you?"
It just had to be Sebastian to catch onto that. And when Soma opened his mouth, Harry felt like strangling the boy. "Father told me my grandfather named me after him. Though why, I would never guess."
"Then he is yours," Sebastian asked with a smirk.
"No. I have not accepted him. I will not allow the bond to complete. He is just a spoilt and arrogant little boy. Not worthy of my time. Though, I have accepted your master."
Harry stepped out of the room leaving three gaping occupants and one confused Ciel.
The Phantomhive butler was confused. Harry had accepted Ciel as his cub even knowing that Sebastian was contracted to him and would eat his soul once it was over. Why would Harry attach himself to a charge like that? Is this why Harry hated commitment? He got attached to people too easily?
Sebastian frowned. Now that Harry had accepted Ciel as his child it would be difficult to eat the boy's soul without feeling regret. And regret always spoiled a good soul. Well he would deal with it as it came.
AN: That flashback was added in last minute but I thought it was a nice touch! Tell me what all you guys think. Oh and for taking so long I have another omake. This one has nothing to do with the plotline. This is if Lucifer did indeed find Harry in England. It's for all those fans who would like to see a Lucifer/Harry. ^^
It came as a shock when a gloved hand came across his mouth and an arm wound across his arms and torso like a steel bar.
"Hello my little gem."
Harry immediately recognized that voice as he yanked the hand off his mouth. "Lucifer!"
The demon nuzzled his nose into the Harry's neck and took a deep breath. "Your scent is exquisite and your voice even more beautiful than I thought." It was said in a whisper but it still sent a shiver of terror down the smaller demon's spine. "I have finally caught you my precious gem. Did you really think you could get away from me so easily? I have spies everywhere."
"I stayed out of your grasp for centuries," Harry snapped.
The king of the demons frowned in annoyance but acknowledged that his gem had escaped him for quite a while, even by demon standards.
A wicked smile formed on Lucifer's face. "But I have you now do I not precious gem?"
Harry struggled futilely for a moment before he sagged into the body behind him.
"Come with me." Harry started in surprise but before he could say anything Lucifer started talking again. "Your chosen mate has rejected you has he not? I do not want to kill you little gem. Oh no, I have much better plans than that. Come with me and I will give you everything you could ever want."
It was true. Sebastian had rejected him. If he understood Lucifer correctly than the older demon wanted him for a mate. It was sort of surprising that the king didn't already have one but Harry wasn't going to question it. Lucifer, as the King of Demons, could give him whatever he wanted. He had the power to protect his cub. Harry would never have to worry about anything ever again.
He glanced longing at the manor once before he made up his mind. "I'll go with you but you have to protect my cub."
"Oh? Little gem has a cub does he? Well where is he?"
"His name is Ciel Phantomhive and he is contracted to Michaelis the Raven demon in that manor. And my name is Harry not gem…"
The King hissed and looked at the manor his gem had been perched in front of. Yes, there was definitely a contract in there. He sent his power and authority into the building, searched out the energy keeping the contract together, and snapped it. Howls of pain erupted from the place and his gem tensed in his arms but Lucifer only tightened his grip.
"Another one of my demons will be by to pick up your cub. I have made sure that the contract cannot be reformed and that the Raven will be unable to touch…Ciel."
Harry briefly closed his eyes but opened them once more and nodded his head. Lucifer hissed in pleasure and stood from his crouched position pulling his gem three feet off the ground in the process. He switched the demon in his arms into a bridal position and took off towards Hell.
His gem was all his now and no one would ever be able to take the boy from him!

Creating a Vocations-Friendly Church in Aotearoa NZ. Overview …. Vocational un-awareness Vocations Culture - 'Vocations Friendly' Church Whose responsibility? Prevailing fears Challenge: Multi-Dimensional approach

Overview ….
Vocational un-awareness …
A Vocations Culture / 'Vocations-friendly' Church …
= a repeated motif of John Paul II throughout the last decade …
1st Continental Vocations Congress
(Sao Paolo, Brazil, 1994)
"We must create
a culture of vocations
in our Church …."
(Message from JP II)
2nd Continental Vocations Congress –
Rome, 1997 …
The shortage of specific vocations is, above all, an absence of the vocational consciousness of life, or rather the absence of a culture of vocations .. .
A new culture of vocation is a component of the new evangelisation. It is a culture of life, and openness to life, and the meaning of life…
3rd Continental Vocations Congress – Montreal, 2002
CDM, Montreal, 2002, p 12
CDM , Montreal, 2002:….
… in order to engage the whole church in a commitment to creating a 'Vocation Culture', one must first recognise the primary vocation of each and every Christian: to life and love; holiness and discipleship; witness and service. All baptised Catholics share in this universal call; all must be assisted in the task of hearing it and giving it a full and committed response … CDM p42
A quantum leap:
Unawareness …
'Vocation-friendly Church' !!
The fundamental pastoral challenge
is that of creating a 'Vocation Culture'
(in the Church of North America):
that is,
a culture in which each Christian
is empowered to identify and respond to the mission to which he or she is called
as a member of the Body of Christ, in and for the world …
(CDM, Montreal 2002, pp 11 & 12)
(Archdiocese of Regina, Canada - www.archregina.sk.ca/VocationsCulture.htm )
A 'Vocation Culture' / Vocation-friendly Church is one in which each Christian is empowered to identify and respond to the mission to which he or she is called as a member of the Body of Christ, in and for the world
The promotion of vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life cannot be understood in isolation from the universal baptismal call to holiness and service …
Every vocation is necessary and relative. There needs to be an ecclesial community … a vocational culture wherein every person can find their own vocation.
The ordained ministry exists to bring out all the other vocations in the church and all the other vocations are there to bring out the ordained ministries in reciprocal communion.
NVNE – Rome 1997
…Vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life – and to single and married life, to lay ministry and Christian witness in a secular society – will flourish in a church where each member can identify and concretely live out the Father's call to life and holiness, the Son's call to discipleship and communion, and the Spirit's call to witness and mission.
(CDM: Conversion, Discernment, Mission,
3rd Continental Vocations Congress, Montreal 2002, pp11&12)
Growing up - knowing about life-giving options …and considering each one seriously before choosing the one that will bring me fullness of life [in order that] …
Vocations Ministry …
Although vocations ministry begins with the more generic notion of the call to life and love, and gradually expands to include an explicit claiming of a call to holiness and a share in the mission of the Church, eventually it converges on a question that is specific:
sister or consecrated secular in this
specific congregation or institute? …
of this particular person? …
(CDM – Montreal 2002, p 83)
fears !!!…
There are those who fear that widening the idea of vocation will be harmful to the specific promotion of vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life;
the reality is exactly the opposite. …
NVNE, Rome 1997 #26
The decline in any one vocation negatively impacts the whole body of the Church, and each of its constitutive members.
Similarly, attention to the growth
and development of one should lead to a vocational flourishing of all the vocations in the Church
CDM, Montreal, 2002 p56
The universalisation
of the
notion of vocation
in no way trivializes it! …
CDM, Montreal 2002, p43
Faithful priests and religious need not feel threatened by the legitimate ministry and mission of lay people …
Co-operation, rather than competition is required, marked by mutual respect and complimentarity in the promotion of all vocations …
CDM, Montreal, 2002 p56
Russell Shaw:
The aim [of creating a vocations-friendly Church] is discernment, not recruitment …
But, someone might object, won't emphasising personal vocation distract people from heeding calls to the priesthood and consecrated life?
Won't it make the real-life vocation shortage worse? …
The answer is no!! (cont …)
If many more Catholics practised ongoing discernment regarding their personal vocations, many more would discover that they are called to the priesthood or consecrated life.
The best solution to the dearth of new candidates [to consecrated and priestly life] – and to many other problems in contemporary Catholic life as well – is personal vocation.
Indeed, it may well be the only one!
Russell Shaw: "What Vocational Shortage" –
VocNET, Spring 2004
Whose responsibility?!?
Only all of the gifts together can reveal the whole body of the Lord…
Every member of the Church,
excluding no-one,
has a responsibility for caring for vocations
NVNE, Rome 1997 #25
Responsibility ??
The vocational reality of the Church calls for a deep respect for the complimentarity and interdependence of all Church vocations.
Because the Church is at once community and communion of vocations,all its members need to be concerned and committed to the flowering of all vocations in the Church, and not merely their own. CDM, Montreal 2002, pp 46 &47
Think and act …
'globally' (i.e. nationally)
and locally!
[Like Jesus] …those involved in pastoral work for vocations in groups, communities, parishes, schools and families need to be ...
These are the five dimensions
of the mystery of the call of God
NVNE, Rome, 1997

"But little did they know that the 'some other time' they were both looking for would never come. The night her life would change forever, his would end. So much for 'some other time.'" Aw! So sad! I am really getting P.O'd at the writers for not pursuing a friendship between them. And I noticed in that little scene that they have quite a bit of subtle chemistry. I'm a total Shooner, and Shoone is like, punch-in-face- chemistry, but there's is just sort of... apparent. You can tell in the fanfics.

Franchesca Nolan - Returning to Dartmoor
The summer holidays seemed to have dragged on for eternity and I was relieved when they were finally over and I could return to school. I know that made me sound bizarre but truth be told I loved my school and wasn't too fond of the summer holiday, usually because that meant I wouldn't see any of my friends for a whole 2 months.
I forced my suitcase shut - I had packed far too much and the case wasn't big enough - and let out a sigh of relief, I would be going back to Dartmoor Manor Academy in mere hours and my heart gave a jolt every time I thought about it. I was in my final year at Dartmoor in the upper sixth and it was likely to be the best year yet!
My mother stuck her head around the door and smiled, "Everything packed" she asked rhetorically for she could plainly see that it was, my room looked extremely big when half my stuff was packed. I nodded fervently and grinned back at her.
In no time at all I was giving my mother an emotional hug and clambering excitedly into the back of the car that would be taking me back to DMA for yet another exciting year.
I gazed out of the window and watched blurs of colour zoom past me in the opposite direction and the yellow fields overflowing with rape flit past me. Before I knew it the taxi had pulled up on the cobbled courtyard of DMA and I was eagerly climbing out the car and collecting my luggage from the boot.
There were a couple of first years milling around the entrance, looking nervous and making polite conversation with other first years who looked just as nervous as them. I could remember exactly how they felt, knowing that I was miles away from home and was basically living with complete strangers, it's not really a comforting thought, nevertheless I ambled through my first year making a collection of friends as I went and as time went by I realised that DMA was the best school my parents could have sent me to.
I lugged my bags into the large entrance hall of the old manor house and made my way up the reception desk, a smiling brown haired woman with dimples looked up at me and I realised that she must have been new as I didn't recognize her and she obviously didn't know me.
"Name and Year?" she asked, not looking up from the computer screen.
"Franchesca Mai Nolan and I am in upper sixth" I replied and she hummed to let me know that she had heard what I had said and then began typing away onto her computer. After a few minutes she pulled out a key with a tag that said on it Room 56 West Wing. Along with it was a small brown envelope which I opened interestedly and into the palm of my hand dropped a small turquoise badge which read Badminton Sports Captain, I grinned and muttered to myself,
"This year will be fun"
I turned around to see my best friend just a few metres away struggling to lug her suitcases towards the stairs and towards the west wing
"Need a hand?" I called over to her and Rose turned around and screamed before running and enveloping me in a huge hug. "I've missed you" I said, a few tears splashing down my face as I was reunited with my best friend.
"I've missed you too!" she said as she pulled out the hug, "Come on, we haven't got all day!" my other friend Jack groaned, and I giggled as I grabbed one of Rose's bags as well as my own and the three of made our way up to the west wing, talking animatedly to each other about what they have been up to during the summer that seemed to last a lifetime.

Ricoh GXR/P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC Quick Review
|2 Previous
3 Performance
|4 Next
Overall handling and operation
The Ricoh GXR with the P10 28-300mm doesn't usually feel sluggish but it's never exceptionally quick either. Power on and off times are almost identical to the S10 module and in line with rivals from the travel zoom compact camera sector. The AF is a little on the slow side but within acceptable limits. Picture browsing and magnification in review mode works very swiftly. At 4.5 fps the P10 28-300mm's continuous shooting in RAW mode) is fast for this type of camera and you can get rates up to 120 fps at reduced (VGA) resolution.
Timings & File Sizes
Timing Notes: All times calculated as an average of three operations. Unless otherwise stated all timings were made on a 3648 x 2736 best quality JPEG (approx. 3,500 KB per image).
The media used for these tests was a 8 GB Sandisk Extreme III (30mb/s edition) SD card.
Time, secs
(8 GB Sandisk)
|Power Off to On *1
|Power Off to Shot
|Shot to shot time (JPEG)
|Manual focus, no flash
|Shot to shot time (RAW) *2
|Manual focus, no flash
|Power On to Off *3
|This is the time from turning the switch to the 'On' position to the live view display appearing on the LCD monitor.
|This measurement is for a RAW + VGA size JPEG file. The GRX does not offer the option to shoot RAW only.
|This is the time from when the switch is set to off till the status LCD going blank.
To test continuous mode the camera had the following settings: Manual Focus, Manual Exposure (1/500 sec, F3.5), ISO 100.
The tests carried out below measured the following results for JPEG and RAW:
- Frame rate - Initial frame rate, this was 4.5 fps (+/- 0.1 fps) in JPEG mode and 4.5 fps in RAW + JPEG mode
- Number of frames - Number of frames in a burst
- Buffer full rate - Frame rate if shutter release held down after burst (buffer full)
- Write complete - How long after the last shot before the SD lamp goes out

|1.2 sec
Burst of RAW + JPEG (VGA) images Continuous
8 GB Sandisk
|Frame rate
4.5 fps
|Number of frames
|Buffer full rate
|Write complete
5.5 sec
Ricoh specifies the maximum continuous shooting speed of the GXR P10 28-300mm in JPEG (Fine) quality as 5 fps but the maximum we could get out of the camera was, a still quite respectable, speed of 4.5 frames per second. On a fast card there does not appear to be a limit to the number of frames - you can shoot until the memory card is full. When shooting in RAW format you get the same speed but only for five frames after which the P10 28-300mm clears its buffer for approximately 5.5 seconds. You will then have to press the shutter again in order to keep shooting. Unlike most other cameras the GXR does not keep shooting at a slower frame rate once the buffer has run full. You also cannot shoot in 'RAW only' mode. The RAW file is always accompanied by a JPEG image. You can choose the size of the latter but it does not really have an impact on the burst rate.
The P10 28-300mm lens module also offers a HI and LO M-Cont mode which records a burst of 15 images at 5 fps at full resolution or or 26 images at 30 fps (1728x1296) respectively. In Ultra-high-speed Cont mode up to 120 fps can be recorded in VGA resolution (1 second). In these modes, Instead as individual files, the images are saved into one single .MOP file. Individual frames can be extracted from this file using the supplied Irodio software. Individual images can also be viewed on the camera LCD in playback mode.
USB transfer speed
To test the GXR USB speed we transferred approximately 500 MB of images (mixed RAW and JPEG) from a SanDisk Extreme III (30MB/s edition) SD card. When the GXR is connected to a computer via a USB cable, by default the camera appears on the system as a 'mass storage device'. At 6.9 MB/sec the transfer speed is usable but a good external card reader will speed things up noticeably.
Transfer rate
|Ricoh GXR - Mass Storage
|6.9 MB/sec
|Sandisk Extreme III (using built in USB connector)
|20.2 MB/sec
|SanDisk Extreme III in USB 2.0 reader
|11.3 MB/sec
AF speed
The P10 28-300mm autofocus speed in good light is fairly average compared to other travel zoom cameras. In decent light at wide angle the camera takes approximately 0.7 sec to lock focus. At the long end of the zoom this increases only very slightly to 0.8 sec. The focus can slow down a little further in low light (although the focus light helps in dim conditions) and/or when using the macro mode.
Like on the S10 module manual focus works by pressing the Macro button and turning the front dial. This works well and achieving focus is easy. However, it's not as fast as turning a focus ring on a manual focus lens. The P10 28-300mm's manual focus is therefore more suitable to macro or landscape work on a tripod rather than more fast paced photographic environments.
Battery life
The manual states 320 shots (CIPA) battery life for the GXR's DB-90Li-Ion battery pack when the P10 28-300mm lens module is attached. We found we could approximately reach this number with not too much image browsing or other screen-intensive tasks. Obviously the exact number of shots you can get out of a charge will depend on all sorts of parameters and circumstances but if you shoot a lot during a whole day it might be a good idea to bring a spare battery. For those who are using the GXR in reach of a power socket there is also an optional AC adapter (AC-5) available.
Image Stabilizer
With Ricoh P10 28-300mm's maximum equivalent focal length of 300mm image stabilization is a must-have feature. The camera module stabilizes its image by shifting the sensor. Let's see how the system fares in our test.
The stabilization test
Twenty hand-held shots were taken of a static scene, half of those with stabilization, half without, the shutter speed was decreased by a stop and repeated (from 1/400 sec to 1/13 sec). The zoom lens was set to the maximum tele setting (producing a 300 mm equiv. FOV), the test chart was 3.5 m away from the camera. To exaggerate the effect of camera shake the camera was only supported with one hand.
The resulting 100 images were then inspected and given a blur score from zero to three where zero represented a very blurred image and three a sharp image with no noticeable blur (see crop examples below). Obviously the amount of blur which is acceptable will depend on your personal taste and the final image size (for instance a '2: Soft' will still look fine as a 4x6 print or in a web gallery). Example crops from these four blur scores can be seen below.
|0: Very blurred
|1: Blurred
|2: Soft
|3: Sharp
Hand-held, no stabilization (300 mm equiv.)
With no stabilization we still get 100% sharp shots at 1/400 but then the hit rate decreases pretty rapidly as we reduce the shutter speeds. We could not get any sharp shots at all at 1/100th of a second and couldn't be guaranteed to at least get a usable shot at 1/25th.
Hand-held, with Shake Reduction (300 mm equiv.)
The P10 28-300mm's image stabilization system works very efficiently and generates an advantage of somewhere more than 2 stops. At 1/50 we still get 50% sharp shots and 90% usable shots. At even slower shutter speeds the hit rate drops quickly but even at a a shutter speed as low as 1/13 we still get 2 usable shots out of 10.

Cayden: C'mereMature
I'd be lying if I said me and John were back together. He no doubt thought we were back together, but that was far from the truth. We'd fuck, and he'd yell at me, so I'd calm him down with a kiss and we'd start the whole thing over again. It wasn't all that bad, though I could've done without the yelling. And the little brat walking in on us every five fucking minutes demanding that John invite Hadley's little special needs freak over to play. Sweetie, I'm a little busy fucking your dad.
John, however, gave into her demands and called Hadley once I was done with him. He had the fucking nerve to smile at me as he told me to get dressed and informed the brat that we were going to the park to play with Lily and Danny. I know that they're my niece and nephew and all, but couldn't this wait til after I was done fucking John?
I slumped down on a bench once we got to the park, still a little pissed that I'd had to put John down. That and the fact that Hadley was there. Little bitch. He was trying to avoid me by occupying himself with Lily, since John's brat and the freak were busy playing with each other. Maxxie just did his best to keep out of everyone's way, eventually mumbling something about getting ice cream from the store. So naturally I followed him.
"Thought I told you to quit" I said when I saw Maxxie buying cigarettes as well as ice cream.
"Yeah, but then being around you and Hadley can get kinda stressful" he said, lighting up.
"Hadley didn't have to come"
"Neither did you" he said kinda quietly and I glared at him a little.
He kept his eyes on the floor as he smoked away.
"I'm just trying to stay on John's good side"
"Well you might as well go take these back to the kids" Maxxie said, trying to hand me the ice creams.
"I don't give a fuck about them. It's you I'm interested in"
He arched and eyebrow at that and I smiled at him though he didn't see it, his eyes still on the floor.
"I miss you" I said, leaning my head on his shoulder.
"Thought you were mad at me" he mumbled.
"Didn't I tell you I forgave you?"
"Clearly not"
"Well I did"
"Oh. Um, thanks"
I nuzzled his neck a little, trailing kisses against his skin when he rested his head on top of mine. Maxxie cleared his throat, sort of holding the ice creams up.
"I should get back before these melt"
I nodded, heading back with him. He gave the kids their ice creams and they dug in. He smiled a little as he watched the special needs kid.
"Max, c'mere" I said, ordering him a little.
Maxxie glanced over at me before coming over. I smiled, leaning my head on shoulder and gripping his hips a little.
"Where were we?" I asked, ghosting kisses up and down his neck. "You think I'd do this is he was watching?" I asked when he looked over at Hadley.
"Cayden, if you fuck up my last chance with Hadley, you're dead"
"You could always get back with me"
"I could, but I'd probably be more in the mood to kill you if you fucked up my marriage just to get laid"
I chuckled a little. "I've got John for that. For now, anyway. But he's not as fun to tease as you are" I said, pinching his nipple lightly. He bit his lip and I hummed, pinching his nipple a little more, not caring that John was watching us. Maxxie tried to slap my hand away and I squeezed his hips. "Naughty"
John sighed, ignoring us and I couldn't help but notice the guilty look on Max's face.
"Ignore him" I said, gripping his hips.
"He wants you back, Cay. Why isn't that good enough for you?"
"Because I don't want him"
"But why do you want me? There's nothing stopping you from going out and finding someone new"
"We worked well together, Max. You can't deny that"
"Yeah but..." Max trailed off, his gaze on the ground.
He shrugged. "Just something someone said"
"What did they say?" I asked, sliding my hand up his shirt sneakily and littering his neck with kisses again.
"That you only kept me as long as you did because of the sex" he said quietly.
"Who told you that?"
"Was it just the sex, Cayden?"
"Of course not" I said and he looked at me with wide, innocent eyes. "It wasn't just the sex, Maxxie" I said but he didn't seem entirely convinced. "If it was just the sex, we wouldn't have been together even half as long as we were"
He leant his head on my shoulder and I planted a kiss on the top of his head. He was busy watching Hadley smiling and being all maternal with the brats.
"Would you... I mean, if it came to it, would you leave him for me?" I asked and Maxxie looked upset.
"Don't do this to me Cay"
"I'm just curious"
"Well don't be. I'm happy with him, okay?"
"But if you weren't?"
He sighed. "I don't know"
I nuzzled him a little but he didn't say anything. "D'you ever wonder what it'd be like if we hadn't split up? We would've been going out nearly five years by now, right?" I asked and he nodded slightly. "I thought about asking you to marry me, y'know?"
"Did you?" he asked, surprised, and I nodded. "What d'you reckon it would've been like if we'd stayed together?"
"There wouldn't have been any kids, I can tell you that much" I laughed and he smiled a little. "And we both know there would've been lots of sex and teasing. But we probably would've done the whole romance thing too"
Maxxie was watching Hadley again. Hadley glanced over, smiling a little.
"He doesn't deserve you" I said as Maxxie smiled back.
"What makes you say that?"
I shrugged. "He just doesn't"
He frowned a little but I didn't say anything.
"Hadley deserves better than me" he pretty much whispered.
"That's not true"
"It is. I've been a shit husband. I'm amazed he gave me this many chances. I'd have kicked me out ages ago" he said, watching Hadley.
