... climbs up through the woods to a "roman" bridge built in 1938 and over to the water on the other side of the peninsula. There are a lot of other options but no matter which way you go there is always the view of the mountains, bare this time of year, but grey, rust and blue with a strong orange glow when the sun is low. It's up here that all the upscale lodges are located. And there are quite a few spectacular ones. This is where tired hikers enjoy the luxury of a hot ...

Sheila told us that they hadn't had any rain since December (and it was mid-March), so the possibility of rain was exciting to the locals. Sadly, none actually materialized. But Sheila told us about a nearby beach that we could visit on another day. A couple of days later, we borrowed bikes and headed there. We only had to ride on the road for a short time, then took ...

Even then we couldn't shake him off and he wanted to go on further as there were still some hills ahead. He was like one of the many stray dogs that keep attaching themselves to us wherever we go.

The foliage and scenery reminded me of Tasmania. I drank some of the water from the waterfall and it was lovely and pure.

Elder Than Thou
Rikiyi and Achrai, two pensive dragons who meet every few years to ponder the world and their own histories, are faced with the mystery of the end of the dragon race, and the peculiar actions of the quaint human species.
A long, long time ago, 14566 years to be exact, there were 2 dragons. Neither of their names are pronounceable by humans, but the closes approximation would be Rikiya and Achrai.
Rikiya was a rather old dragon, there weren't many older. He was about 11,000 years old. He was somewhat recluse, even by dragon standards, and had a pensive disposition, even by dragon standards. He did occasionally complain, usually about the air smelling "off". It never smelt off to Achrai.
Achrai was only about 3,500 years old. He was also old, by some standards. There weren't many dragons older than 4,000 years. Achrai himself had only met two, one of whom had not even reached 5,000, and the other was Rikiya.
Rikiya often stayed in his cave. When he did come outside, it was usually only to talk to Achrai, and was not usually more than 50 or so yards out of the cave. Rikiya and Achrai were both thoughtful creatures, but in different ways. Rikiya remained in his cave, solemn, damp, and dark, thinking things over like soaking a tea bag in a cup of tea. Though, tea did not exist back then. Achrai would fly around, taking in the sights, keeping his senses fresh when thinking. They were both good thinkers, but both tended to disagree. Dragons, however, were not conflictual creatures, not within their own species at least.
One day, Achrai was flying to Rikiya's cave. It was one of the days when Rikiya was already outside of his cave, either of his own will, or in anticipation of Achrai's arrival. Rikiya was good at predicting.
Achrai landed next to Rikiya, bringing up dust and sand. They were in a white desert. Rikiya was half in his cave, facing out from it. The sun was nearly setting, just to the left of where the cave pointed out. Achrai was to Rikiya's right, and a little in front, facing Rikiya at an angle slightly obtuse of 90 degrees. Achrai was standing, or what a dragon would call standing. His back legs were down and his front arms held his front up in a proud pose. Rikiya was lying down, chin on hand. He continued facing the sun as he talked.
"When I was younger", Rikiya began, "the sun set directly in front of the cave. Before that, it was to the right slightly, my father had always complained of it bugging him, being slightly off of perfect. He couldn't see beauty in imperfection, you see."
Achrai was interested. He had these talks to learn about Rikiya as much as he had them to ponder with him. Rikiya was very old, and had many interesting things to say. Though, Achrai had trouble believing that the sun could change the position it set in.
Dragon talk had very long pauses, dragons thought a lot before speaking.
Achrai spoke, "I was observing the human species this last year. They are peculiar creatures. I found one settlement in a forest, of about 20, it had carved holes in the trees, they kept their young in the holes."
After a pause, Rikiya spoke, "Peculiar, yes...". "Keep an eye on that settlement."
"I shall", said Achrai, "But only for a little while, if nothing comes of it within a century, I will look elsewhere."
Rikiya sighed.
"Time is shorter than it was when I was young."
"Could it be that your age, being more centuries than most, means a century seems less than it used to?" Achrai asked.
"No", Rikiya said, lifting up his head, but still facing out from the cave. "It is quite the opposite. 100 years is more. Dragons don't live to my age any more. I feel so old, but my Elder died at over twice my current age."
"He had you quite late then." said Achrai.
"Yes, yes, quiet late." said Rikiya. "His body was quite a feast."
"It is odd to think, that your Elder had you late, yet over 11 times the age my own generation would be expected to produce offspring."
"Numbers cause my mind to ache, Achrai."
Rikiya turned to look at Achrai, his eyes watering slightly, making them gleam.
"Achrai, it is getting dark." he said.
Achrai acknowledged this, with a slight smile, not one human eyes would understand. He flew away lightly in the wind, as Rikiya watched the way his wings moved in the air like waves, his left wing more strained than his right. Achrai had not divulged what had caused this damage. Rikiya's left wing was also damaged, and he had also not revealed the cause to Achrai. It was almost perfect, perfection out of imperfection, it was beautiful.
Soon, Achrai had returned, carrying a multitude of pineapples with each limb. He fed them to Rikiya, smeared others over his body, they lay together throughout the night, damaged wing covering damaged wing.

Have you been refused a pay monthly contract because of bad credit history?
Well don't worry, here are some essential tips which if you follow, will help you greatly improve you chances of getting approved for a Pay Monthly contract.
Have you been refused a pay monthly contract because you have a bad credit rating? Well, don't worry, here are some essential tips which I guarantee will help you get approved with the UK networks in the next 5 minutes.
1. Register To Vote On The Electoral Roll
To get finance or credit, whether it's a mobile phone contract, credit card or loan it is extremely important to be registered on the electoral roll. Many people assume they're automatically registered, or don't bother doing it. However, not being on the roll will have a big impact on whether you can obtain credit or finance.
Whenever you apply for credit, credit agencies use electoral roll information to confirm your identity, which is then passed onto lenders when you apply for credit, to prevent fraud. So, if you're not on the electoral roll when making an application…it won't look too good.
If you're not registered, or even if you're just not sure, visit the AboutMyVote website and you can download and complete your local authority's registration form.
2. Check Your Credit Report
When you make an application for a Pay Monthly mobile phone contract, your personal details are passed through a credit check so that network operators can access whether you are able to meet regular repayments and to verify you actually exist to help prevent fraud.
Your personal credit report will be the main factor on whether you will be accepted or declined – so it is therefore very important that your credit report is up to date and accurate.
Studies have shown that many credit reports contain inaccuracies that can harm your credit rating, leading to rejections when you apply for loans, insurance, or a mobile phone contract. These errors are usually the result of human clerical mistakes so it is important that you check all your credit files and monitor them regularly.
There are now many places where you can check your credit report online, but only a handful of places offer them free of charge. Experian offer a 30 day free trial which enables you to check your credit report in minutes.
3. Remember That Begger's Can't Be Choosers!
If you are suffering from bad credit rating or have no credit history at all, you need to be aware that you do not have the same level of choices compared to someone with a healthy credit rating.
Credit lenders of products such as credit cards, loans, mortgages and mobile phone contracts, are understandably more cautious when it comes to providing finance to those who have bad or no credit history.
So, the first step to getting a mobile phone contract is to recognise you may not get the phone you want.
Although it is not impossible to get a mobile phone contract If you have a poor credit history, it does make it a little harder to be approved. You may have to make certain sacrifices before being accepted, so be realistic as to what can be achieved and roll up your sleeves as you may need to put some effort into getting accepted for a pay monthly contract.
4. Choose A Cheap Handset On A Low Monthly Tariff
Did you know when you apply for a mobile phone contract, you are credit scored on the specific mobile phone and tariff plan you have chosen?
The more expensive the handset and the higher the monthly line rental, the harder it is to be approved.
If you are suffering from bad credit history it is therefore advisable to apply for a less expensive "no frills' handset a cheap monthly line rental to ensure the best possible chance of being accepted.
Only those with an excellent credit credit history are likely to be approved for top of the range handsets like the Apple iPhone on a £40 per month tariff, so steer clear from such high value combinations and other packages which include expensive free gifts.
5. Become A Virgin….Customer
Did you know that each mobile network operator has a different credit scoring criteria?
Not many people know that some mobile networks are easier to get accepted than others. And whilst you may be declined with one company, you can easily be approved with another.
Although we do not know the exact credit checking requirements for each network, from our research we understand that Virgin Mobile are more sympathetic and have a higher acceptance rates than other mobile networks.
Although you are not guaranteed for approval by applying with Virgin, by remembering the golden rule of applying for a low cost handset on a cheap line rental, you should ensure you have the best possible chance of being accepted.
To make it easier, we've put together a list of the best recommended Virgin handsets you should apply for here.
If you are already a Virgin customer and subscribe to their broadband, TV or landline phone packages, you can save an extra £10 off your monthly mobile phone tariff.
6. Consider SIM Only Contracts
SIM only contracts are actually the easiest way to get connected to a Pay Monthly contract.
This is simply because no handset is being supplied to you, so mobile networks view these contracts as less 'risky' and are more flexible in providing these to people with less than perfect credit ratings.
Although a credit check is still required, the credit scoring criteria with SIM only is considerably lower than standard contracts that come with a free handset.
If you already own a handset you like, then SIM card only contracts are ideal and in the recommend way to get accepted for a Pay Monthly tariff. You can just pop the SIM card into an old existing phone and start using it straight away.
If you are declined a normal Pay Monthly contract with handset by (after you made sure to apply for a low cost handset on a cheap monthly line rental), it is highly recommended you apply again for a SIM only contract. More often than not, you will find yourself being approved for these contracts, as they have a much lower acceptance criteria.
After making regular repayments of your monthly bill, you will establish trust with the networks who will often allow you to upgrade to a free handset after a regular payment history is seen.
7. Get A No Credit Check Mobile Phone
Since all pay monthly contracts require you to undergo a credit check – wouldn't it be great if you could apply for a mobile phone without the need for a credit check?
The idea of 'no credit check mobile phones' may sound ideal for those with bad credit, however, they only exist in the form of Pay As You Go handsets and SIM-free variety.
Pairing a SIM only contract with a Pay As You Go handset is an excellent combination. Although you will be pay upfront for the cost of the handset, you will benefit from huge savings as SIM only deals offer excellent value for money. You receive more inclusive minutes, texts and data allowance compared to both standard Pay As You Go and Pay Monthly tariffs.
The other major benefit is that after a few months of regular bill repayment, it's possible to upgrade your contract to a standard one which come with a free handset. Once you have proven to the mobile network operator your ability to repay, all it usually takes is a quick phone call to the customer services department and asking what deals they can give you.
8. Be Prepared To Pay A Deposit
If you are declined for a Pay Monthly contract phone, network operators sometimes will ask you for an upfront deposit before you are approved for your application. This is usually the case for Pay Monthly phone contracts, but rarely for SIM only contracts.
This is a understandable request by the mobile operators, and if you can afford it, it is recommended that you pay the fee which is then returned 6-12 months into your contract depending on which network you apply with.
The deposits required will vary between mobile operators but are usually worked out by multiplying your monthly line rental cost by 6 – 12 months.
Deposits are usually only required when you opt for a pay monthly contract with handset. Whether you are required to pay a deposit or not will depend on your own personal circumstances and the package you apply for.
9. Phone A Friend
If you have exhausted all of the options above and still find your application being turned down, your last resort is to ask a friend or relative to sign up on your behalf.
You can easily do this by setting up a direct payment or debit to this person's bank account each month for the amount of your bill.
But be careful when choosing this option.
The person who signs the contract is ultimately responsible for paying the charges. So if you rack up your phone bill, make sure you can afford to pay it. Otherwise it can affect the other person's credit rating and perhaps your relationship too.
If you have a bad credit rating it is still possible for you to get a mobile phone contract but it may require a little work and sacrifice to achieve it. Although there are fewer options available, it is entirely possible to get approved. Ultimately, whether you are get accepted or not will depend on your own unique circumstances, but following the tips above will help you improve your chances of being accepted.
If you manage to get a contract, try to keep hold of it! As long as you stay in a contract you will be in a better position to upgrade your phone to the latest models after your contract expires. You will also be in a much better position to negotiate more competitive tariffs once you have demonstrated to the network operator you are a loyal customer and can repay your bills on time.
Hopefully this guide has helped you see that you can still find a mobile contract no matter how poor your credit rating may be. You just have to be persistent and a little creative.

The Singing Cat
Lara is different. And now she's done something really, really wrong. Starting a new life as a witch, she finds out more about herself- and the others around her.
It had gone midnight in the Singing Cat. It was almost empty when they arrived. Mrs Steam was almost falling asleep as she scrubbed the tables, and awoke with a start of fright, at the door opening. At first she only caught the silhouettes of the two people. A boy and a girl, both children, it seemed, both dressed for winter in one of the century's hottest summers. Clearly out of place.
The girl had said nothing but shivered despite the winter coat she wore. The boy spoke infrequently. There was something suspicious about them. The girl seem close to tears and had her head bent to the ground so her dark ringlets fell over her face. She was dressed in an ill-fitting grey dress under her coat and has no shoes therefore her feet were coated in mud reaching up to the hem of her dress. She must have only been seven or eight. The boy had a similar coat and shoes, also mud stained and seemed a couple of years older and very pale and spoke very abruptly to the point of rudeness. He paid for two cups of tea but didn't touch his. The girl drank both eventually. After that they fell asleep in their chairs and Mrs Steam didn't have the heart to disturb when she knew from the bag of money the boy was carrying he could have paid for a room.
It never crossed her mind why two children that young were walking about town without adults. They weren't familiar to her, they may not have even come from the town. The boy did not seem paddrisian, which was why Mrs Steam seemed to warm to him. He has pale skin and his messy hair had a reddish hue like her, different from the girl's dark complexion typical for around here. Mrs Steam and her husband were Hettish, a small but rich country further north. They had moved to the nearby larger but quiet Paddris and set up the Singing Cat while there daughter Ashley was not yet born.
Ashley now was ten years old and happy with everything she could possibly have wanted. She was biologically an only child but the Steams had adopted a local boy of Ashley's age names Alex. This was because he was one of them.
Mrs Steam had gone to sleep while the children were still fast asleep in the chairs. There was no point trying to wake them.
They were still there the next morning when Mrs Steam returned to work. This time the girl was the only one awake and was facing away from her with her face pressed to the window. She didn't know Steam was there and when she looked always almost dies with fright, with a look on her face as though she had done something wrong.
That was when the woman started to suspect something was suspicious with those two, even though they were so young. How often do children run off with a purse full of money on their own? Not often around here.
"Have I done something wrong?" The child said.
"You know better than me." Steam laughed slightly.
The girl suddenly seemed immensely apprehensive and started shaking the sleeping boy. "Felix- wake up! Wake up! I want to go home!" Her face was red with tears running down her cheeks. The boy, who seemed to be called Felix, started awake. "We can't go home now."
"I want to! I don't care!" The girl retreated into a ball. Steam was used to this. Ashley and Alex were uncooperative children.
"I need to open here soon." Steam said. "I shouldn't have let you stay here. At least without paying for it."
"We can afford to," Felix said. "I have money."
"I know you do. A bit suspicious as you seem too young to work. You must have stolen it."
"Ye- No. Not at all. I wouldn't do that." Felix spoke loudly but faded of with a whimper.
"Why are you two running away anyway?"
"You are a dreadful liar."
"We aren't running away!"
"Let your friend speak for once..."
The girl said "We are gonna find other witches-"
"Lara!" Felix shoved the girl.
"No we're not!" Lara added abruptly.
"We're going home. Did you get what you wanted? Are you happy?" Felix stood up, strode to the door and left the Singing Cat.
Lara, still crying, followed him.
Steam was alone again. All she could think about was what Lara had said. Other witches.
It seemed the children were one of them.

Meanwhile, on the eve of the House vote on the largest energy tax increase known to man, they are partying at the White House. The congressional luau is underway where Mark Knoller tells us they are feasting on tilapia tempura rolls, grilled lamb chops, BBQ baby back ribs, Kalua pig and shrimp & clams.
Gibbsy has already been dunked in the dunking booth; Obama and Michelle are there wearing leis and even Bo is there.
Hope they have a lovely time. Meanwhile, the rest of us should be working the phones and faxes to those folks still on the fence over this horrific cap 'n trade bill.

Hitachi Keeps Faith in U.K. Nuclear Plan as Green Costs Dropby
Horizon says intermittent renewables will need nuclear backup
British ownership restrictions on nuclear seen as reasonable
Hitachi Ltd.'s U.K. nuclear unit is sticking with its "aggressive" plan to build at least four reactors in the U.K. even as wind, solar and battery technology costs keep falling.
Renewable energy still needs to be complemented by round-the-clock output of nuclear power for periods when the wind stops blowing and during the night, Duncan Hawthorne, chief executive officer of Horizon Nuclear Power Ltd. said in an interview in London. New nuclear plants too can be built faster because designs have been simplified, resulting in "more competitive" electricity over time, he said.
"I refer to nuclear as being the elephant," said Hawthorne, who joined the Gloucester, England-based company in May and worked previously at Canada's Bruce Power LP. "We are capable of being there all the time. We're steady but we can't maneuver very much."
Horizon aims to benefit from a generation shift in the U.K. nuclear industry as current reactors are coming to the end of their lives. On Thursday, the nation approved Electricite de France SA's plan to build two reactors for 18 billion pounds ($24 billion) in southwest England. Meanwhile, utilities are bidding to build European offshore wind farms at one third of the cost only a year ago, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
World's Most Expensive Nuclear Plant Gets U.K. OK: QuickTake Q&A
The U.K. government has guaranteed EDF a rate of 92.50 pounds ($122) a megawatt-hour for Hinkley's electricity for as long as 35 years. That's more than double current market prices and also about 80 percent higher than Vattenfall AB's winning tender this week to build two offshore wind farms in the Danish North Sea.
"I encourage wind and solar to continue to innovate and get more competitive," Hawthorne said. "But I don't think that's instead of nuclear, it's as well as nuclear."
Existing Sites
Hitachi in October 2012 agreed to buy Horizon and plans reactors at Wylfa in northwest Wales and Oldbury in western England. Both are already existing sites.
The U.K. Office for Nuclear Regulation is considering the company's plans for adapting Hitachi's Advanced Boiling Water Reactor design to local conditions at Wylfa, according to the agency's website. Horizon is expected to apply for its license in the first quarter of next year, ONR said.
The Hinkley Point decision probably won't change Horizon's timetable, which is to complete the first Wylfa unit by 2025, Hawthorne said. "The truth is, these are aggressive build programs. There's no question," he said.
The government will take a "special share" in all future nuclear projects, giving it power to block changes in ownership that could impinge on national security, it said when approving Hinkley. To help shoulder the construction costs, EDF convinced China General Nuclear Power Corp. to take a 34 percent stake in the project.
The rule change might limit finance options for some projects, "depending on where you thought you were going to raise your money from," Hawthorne said. "I don't think it's a problem for us. These controls are not at all unreasonable."
Horizon sees the additional scrutiny of the EDF plan as project specific. "Obviously we have to walk before we can run, but if we were only planning to build two units we wouldn't be in the U.K.," Hawthorne said. "We've come to build a fleet and so that's our intention."
(An earlier version of this story corrected the name of Horizon Nuclear Power.)

Microsoft Mediaroom: the Ingredient Brand Name
Kudos to funnyman blogger Long Zheng for guessing a few weeks ago that Microsoft was planning to rename its IPTV platform with a "friendlier" name Microsoft Mediaroom. This new brand name is supposedly the AppleTV killer.
The Mediaroom brand name will be announced today in Chicago and is supposedly "more appealing and descriptive of its expanding features."
The rollout of this Internet TV platform has not been very smooth and comes on the back of AT&T's $4.6 billion upgrade of its fiber-optic lines which will enable the delivery of its (possibly doomed, certainly awkwardly named) U-verse service. This will make Mediaroom a reality in living rooms across the nation.
Mediaroom will function as an ingredient brand the way Gore-Tex is sold in conjunction with numerous clothing labels or computer makers use Intel Inside.
In this case, Mediaroom will be the key ingredient in IPTV services offered by telecoms like AT&T.
While the Mediaroom product name itself is not too bad and works as a metaphor, I am very interested to see if this means that Microsoft is willing to let its own brand name take a back seat to a telecom brand name when it comes to IPTV.
Paid Content says that the ingredient brand moniker means "service providers who don't see Microsoft as a marketing plus can skip it."
Wow, that's a brand-naming milestone for Microsoft.

|Re: Acedemic Question About Indexing

Could I ask how fast the search goes against this index, both for simple words and more advanced phrase and boolean searches? And is there something smart you have done to make this go fast, both on the infrastructure or the system it selves?

Okay, so my first attempt at a linky didn't go over as well as I'd hoped. Guess what though? I'm not giving in. I hope you are looking for funny stories this week because round 2 will be this Friday.
Another year coming to an end, I started thinking about the last year. A lot has happened over the past year.
My fiance and I bought a house! It has almost been a year. It was January 10th that we signed the papers. Crazy! We have made a ton of changes to it.
I also passed my Dossier.
During this year I have seen many changes in New Mexico's education system. New Mexico has adopted the A-F grading system for each school. Our school has not done so well so we are basically under construction physically and mentally. Our evaluation system has been changed, too.
To end off the year, New Mexico is the 17th state to legalize same-sex marriage.
With that I am saying good-bye to 2013 and hello to 2014!!!
P.S. I also wanted to link up with Simply Kinder for her Teaching Blog Linky Party. It's to help teachers find more resources and find new readers. I needed both!

Tegan And Sara
Tegan and Sara
Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Kiersten Quin was born September 19, 1980, identical twins are Canadian singer-songwriters. Tegan and Sara were born in Calgary, Alberta. The duo initially played as PLUNK, and lacked a drummer or bass player. In 1997, the two used their school's recording studio to record two albums: Who's in Your Band? and Play Day.In 1998, they made an early breakthrough by winning Garage Warz Battle of the Bands, a local music competition in Calgary. Since then, the two have toured extensively with many artists, including
- Neil Young
- Rufus Wainwright
- The Pretenders
- Ben Folds
- The Killers
- Rachael Cantu
They were originally signed to Neil Young's Vapor Records in Canada, and to Sire in the U.S. as their previous label, Sanctuary Records, is no longer releasing new music in the U.S. They are currently signed with Warner Brothers' Records. Currently, Tegan lives in Vancouver and Sara lives in Montreal.When they were competing in Garage Warz, the duo was known as Sara and Tegan because when contacted at the last minute and asked for a name Tegan just said Well we're just Sara and Tegan and they were registered with their names in that order. Their first album, Under Feet Like Ours, was initially released under the name Sara and Tegan copies are now a sought-after commodity among their fans.
Both twins are similarly involved in vocals and playing instruments, the singing of the lead melody often goes to whichever twin wrote the particular song. Sara has been quoted saying that Tegan writes songs prolifically, eventually discarding most of them. Sara's songs, on the other hand, evolve slowly and methodically and almost always make it onto the record.Their fifth album, The Con, was released on July 24, 2007. The band is currently on tour promoting the album.
TV and film:
Tegan and Sara have made many television appearances, including
- Vicki Gabereau's Canadian talk show
- The Late Show with David Letterman
- Brad Tv
- Sonic Temple
- Jonovision
- Late Night with Conan O'Brien
- Jimmy Kimmel Live
Their songs have appeared on several soundtracks, including those for the films Monster-in-Law and Sweet November, and television shows Grey's Anatomy, The L Word Season 3, and Veronica Mars Season 2. Their songs have also appeared on episodes for several of shows.Their song Walking with a Ghost has received considerable TV airplay, including a 2006 NBC commercial for the TV series Medium and montage footage on the UK football entertainment show Soccer AM in May 2007.
Tegan and Sara have been profiled in a number of magazines and had their albums included on several notable best of lists. In the fall of 2003, they graced the cover of ROCKRGRL magazine issue #49, which focused on a tribute to duos. In late 2004, Rolling Stone magazine named their album So Jealous on their list of the best 50 albums of the year. Tegan and Sara were also nominated for a 2006 Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year.

Steve (from Denver, Colorado) heard the Lord's call to missions when he was just 12 years old and first served on a Teen Missions team to the Virgin Islands in 1979 when he was 15 . After graduating in 1984 from Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas, Steve joined Teen Missions and served that first year as an assistant coordinator at the Brazil overseas Boot Camp. Since then, Steve has served in overseas Boot Camps in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, the Philippines, Jordan, Indonesia, Lebanon, and Russia. Steve now serves at the TMI headquarters with video, computer, and website related development. He enjoys serving as an instructor at Florida Free BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center teaching Synthesis, Personal Evangelism & Revelation/Daniel.
Gay (from Shreveport, Louisiana) graduated from Louisiana State University in 1994 with a master's degree in Education and bachelor's degree in Computer Science. She was a popular Second-grade teacher who served three summers as a volunteer leader to South Africa, Hungary, and Malawi from 1990-1992. Never to be the same again, she worked to pay off her college debts and came on full-time staff in 1995.
Steve was known as the President of the "Bachelors to the Rapture". But nothing is impossible with God, and after a bout in the hospital with malaria, Steve felt a peace from the Lord and he asked Gay to marry him (she said yes) while on a flight to the Philippines. The Petersens were married on Sept 2, 2000 and are blessed with two children–Timothy (who was born in November of 2001) and Faith (who was born in January 2005). Gay home-schools both children.
Gay serves as a weekend cook at the Teen Missions' Retreat Center, proofs TMI publications, and teaches when time permits at Florida Free. During the summer months, Gay serves as the coordinator for the Peanut Kids Camp (7-9 year olds) and travels with Steve as a summer team leader.
During spare moments, Steve enjoys family outings, yard work, reading and anything to do with the computer. Gay enjoys cutting coupons (save, save, save), cycling with the family, reading, cooking, nesting around the house and corresponding with friends and family.
Prayer Requests
- For wisdom as we raise Timothy and Faith
- That the anointing of the Holy Spirit would be present in our devotional life and in our ministry with US teens and national teens overseas
- That our words and actions would be a salt and light bringing others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ
Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good; His love endures forever.

Lexus has announced it will stage the global debuts of two updated models at Pebble Beach later this week. But it isn't saying which models they will be. However we can take an educated guess or two.
Two of the oldest nameplates in the Lexus lineup at present are its flagship models: namely, the LS sedan and the LX sport-ute. The original LS was first introduced back in 1989, with the current fourth-generation model rolled out in 2006. (That's the Pebble Beach edition of the 2009 LS 600h pictured above.) It's undergone incremental updates in the decade since, with the last one having arrived in 2012. With much newer examples of the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series having recently been launched, Toyota will likely want to keep its flagship sedan up to date and competitive with newer rivals.
Meanwhile the LX first launched in 1995 as a rebadged and luxed-up version of the Toyota Land Cruiser. The current third-generation model arrived in 2007, and was updated in 2012 alongside the aforementioned LS sedan. Sales of the LX have been floundering, spurring Lexus to potentially launch an entirely different flagship crossover to take its place. But before that happens, it is expected to launch another facelift for the existing model. Photos of that updated version have already leaked out and begun circulating, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the new LX 570 debut in Monterey as well.
Both are expected to adopt more aggressive styling in line with other, newer models in the lineup, along with the latest technologies Toyota has to offer. Whatever form they take, we won't have to wait long to find out what Lexus has in store for us. The unveiling of both its freshly updated new models is set to take place on Thursday, so watch this space.

I have already read and loved the whole series, and I bought this for my husband to hear on long driving trips. Before handing it over, I uploaded it to my iphone, and I have enjoyed it too. The reader does a great job as Bella. This book is great, and you will surly want to read or hear New Moon as soon as you reach the end!

Childish BehaviorMature
Savana's grip on my hand was rather tight. I wanted to tell her she might crush my fragile fingers, but it felt good to feel the pain. It told me I was still alive, here in the waking world.
"I won't allow you to carry me. If you do, I swear to the Goddesses, I will scream bloody murder,"
She let go of my hand quickly, revealing the pressure on my paper white flesh. I checked for any damage, relieved that she had only bruised it and hadn't broken any bones. Not that it would matter, I barely lifted a finger for anything with my mother in charge of my meager life.
"I won't carry you," She grinned, "I'll put you in the laundry cart and bury you in clothes, then I'll wheel you down the hall and outside to your freedom!" Savana crowed triumphantly.
I frowned, "That doesn't sound very comfortable," I had an image in my mind of my poor weakened body folded like paper in the bottom of the rolling cart used for the dirty clothes.
She tossed this notion aside, "Oh poo. It'll be wonderful, like being inside a big white fluffy cloud,"
I was getting tired of the childish attitude she had suddenly adopted, "Be serious Savana,"
She stuck out her bottom lip, pouting, "Well that's no fun. Fun is killing and blood and gore and big white fluffy clouds!" She threw her hands up in the air, twirling around, her brown skirt fanning out.
I had to admit, the sight of this caused the corners of my mouth to turn upwards, "Fine, but if I break my bones, I'm blaming you," I gazed at her, both of us silent for a moment. It would be a very serious thing if I told someone that she had shoved me into a laundry cart. Not only would it cost Savana's job, but most likely her own life.
We burst into laughter, my body shivering from the horrendous noise that spilled from my mouth. I gasped in a deep breath, finishing my laughter at last, my arms and legs trembling.
"I'll fetch the laundry cart!" Savana announced, running out the door.
I didn't know she had meant right then and there.

Some researchers say the ideal time for actual in-and-out action is 10 minutes. What say you?
Say Something
21 Comments on "Poll: What's Your Ideal Penetration Time?"
The best sex I've had has lasted 20-30 minutes, with various positions. I guess it just depends on the person, (personal preference) but if you're changing up positions and speeds, 10 minutes can feel like you're just getting started!
@Figleaf – I think Shakers didn't have sex.
Also Need Some- I don't want this to sound harsh, but good lord woman, what on earth are you complaining about? I have never in my life had an orgasm, let alone with a man, and it has caused serious relationship issues. You're coming every time you have sex? I'd say relax and enjoy it.
Ha! Thanks 🙂

Pilgrims began to arrive at around 4:00 a.m. this morning. It had been raining all week long, but as the pilgrims walked through the fields this morning, the moon began to peek in and out of the clouds and a few stars could be seen. By 6:00 a.m., the building housing Mirjana's apparition was full and pilgrims began to spill outside, surrounding the building. Up until Mirjana's apparition, the pilgrims sang songs and prayed the Joyful, Luminous, and part of the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. Mirjana entered the building at about 8:55 a.m. Our Lady appeared to her at 9:09 a.m. The apparition lasted a little over 6 minutes. The following is Our Lady's November 2, 2007 message to Mirjana given on the day dedicated for non-believers:
While Our Lady was blessing, She said,
Tonight, Friday, November 2, 2007, there was a program on Radio WAVE about this message and Our Lady's apparition. It was aired at 7:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.
The Radio WAVE show regarding Mirjana's Message of November 2, 2007, is now available to be downloaded by clicking here.
Or You can listen by clicking here.
Prayer for Nonbelievers
Come Mary,
Come tomorrow again and again.
We will pray with You.
Bring back our loved ones
Who have left the Church,
Those who have left God.
We will join You on the second of each month.
We will pray for greater graces
To be attached to Your intention.
We will pray that the dam of love,
Of God's mercy, will break forth,
That Your new prayer be released soon.
We will pray that it will flow out
As a river to all the nations,
That as the rivers fill the oceans,
Your love of God will fill the earth.
We wait.
We anticipate that great day,
And we call You as You have called us,
To add our prayers, fasting, and sacrifices
To Mirjana's in order that You may
Obtain all Your wishes for the world.
O loving Mother,
Thank You for the gift
That the world is on the brink of receiving!

Takeda, Resolve Join in $255M+ Lupus Drug Development Deal
Takeda Pharmaceutical and Resolve Therapeutics said today they will partner to develop compounds for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases—starting with clinical development later this year of Resolve's lead compound RSLV-132, a nuclease Fc fusion protein—in a deal that could net Resolve more than $255 million.
Resolve will carry out development work on RSLV-132 until completion of the first Phase Ib/IIa trial in lupus patients, designed to demonstrate proof of biological activity. RSLV-132 is currently in IND-enabling studies and is expected to begin human clinical studies later this year.
After the trial, Takeda has the exclusive option to license the lead compound and all other compounds from the Resolve platform. Additional Resolve clinical candidates in the preclinical proof-of-concept stage target the degradation and elimination of autoantibody-containing immune complexes, thought to be the most proximal pathophysiological trigger of lupus.
Should Takeda exercise its option, it would take lead responsibility for worldwide development and commercialization of the Resolve products.
Takeda will pay Resolve $8 million this fiscal year to fund continued development of RSLV-132. Upon exercising its option, Resolve would additionally receive from Takeda an undisclosed option exercise fee, plus up to $247 million tied to undisclosed development milestones. Resolve is also eligible to receive royalties on product sales.
James Posada, Ph.D., Resolve's co-founder and CEO, told Xconomy the exercise fee alone was enough for a five-fold return on investment for company shareholders—a multiple that could climb to a 10-fold to 15-fold return on investment, plus ongoing royalties on sales of RSLV-132 if the drug meets all goals.
Since it was spun out of the University of Washington three years ago, Resolve has raised $7.8 million in two financing rounds—the most recent being a $5.8 million Series B private-equity financing disclosed Nov. 1. Resolve said at the time that the financing would allow it to advance RSLV-132 into clinical trials, "which we expect to start in mid-2013."
The financing was led by previous investor New Science Ventures, with participation from new investor WRF Capital, the venture investment arm of Washington Research Foundation, and previous investor Easton Capital.
According to Resolve, RSLV-132 represents a new approach to eliminating immune complexes, among key and proximal triggers of the inflammatory cascade in lupus.
"This collaboration with Resolve is very exciting as its innovative pipeline of nuclease fusion proteins has the potential to provide a new approach to helping lupus patients," said Tetsuyuki Maruyama (formerly Paul Chapman), Ph.D., general manager of Takeda's Pharmaceutical Research Division.

Excellent attorney. I used him for closing on a house. He is very responsive, approachable and is willing to spend the time to explore the different options and ramifications. Very nice guy and easy to work with as well. I will definitely use him again for other legal matters.

The Tyburn Pilgrimage this afternoon started opposite the Old Bailey at the Church of St Sepulchre-without-Newgate, a 13th century foundation. The Church still has the hand bell that was rung at midnight outside the condemned cell; several of our martyrs would have heard it. From here the martyrs were dragged on the hurdle through London to be hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn.
The first station was at St Etheldreda's, Ely Place, built in 1276 by the Bishop of Ely as the private chapel for his London house. Restored the Catholic worship in 1876, the Church is the one modern London link with medieval Catholic England.
Next was St Anselm and St Cecilia's, Kingsway. This Church was built in 1909 to replace the old St Cecilia's which, as Chapel of the Sardinian Embassy, was the first public Catholic chapel to be opened in London after the reformation, during a period of partial toleration under Charles II. The parish priest, Fr David Barnes kindly gave me a copy of a beautiful new booklet for the centenary celebration with pictures and articles including one by Fr Nicholas Schofield on Catholic Holborn.
Before entering St Anselm and St Cecilia's, we paused to take note of the Ship Tavern nearby. Bishop Challoner used to meet his priests here and Mass was sometimes said at the public bar with the congregation having tankards of ale ready so that if there was a raid, they could pretend simply to be having a drink together. Although Challoner lived to see the first Catholic Relief Act of 1778, he also had the sadness of seeing St Cecilia's virtually destroyed in the Gordon Riots two years later.
After the dissolution under Henry VIII, the Church of St Giles-in-the-fields became the Parish Church for Tyburn. Many of the earlier Catholic martyrs had their quartered body parts thrown into a common pit but later martyrs were given Christian burial at St Giles. Many criminals were also executed at Tyburn and we said the De profundis for them outside the Church.
A short walk then took us to St Patrick's, Soho Square where we were able to venerate the relics of St Cuthbert Mayne and St Oliver Plunkett. Fr Alexander Sherbrooke, the parish priest, also showed us two chasubles that had belonged to the chaplain of the chapel of Queen Catherine of Aragon. After the Queen's death, the vestments were lovingly preserved in Catholic hands and finally given to St Patrick's in the late 19th century. They were recently restored by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court. Cardinal Pell wore one of the vestments for Mass on a visit to the Church.
The Pligrimage concluded with the Litany of the London Martyrs and Benediction at Tyburn Convent.
I was pleased to find out that the plaque marking the place of the Tyburn tree has now been restored in the pedestrian refuge at the south end of Edgeware Road. Doughty pilgrim Sir Dan of the Blogosphere posed by the plaque, shielding it from the London bus advert for the film "Angels and Demons."
Although this was the last Pilgrimage to be organised by Mgr Stark on behalf of the Guild of Ransom, there are sure to be other events in the future to venerate the London martyrs. Miles Jesu are likely to continue their tradition of a Martyrs Walk. This is a longer event, taking in Tower Hill and other stops, and with guest speakers along the way.

Mikal Harrsen is an industrial designer since 1999. 10 years later he founded his own design studio called Harrsen&Hall together with the architect Adam Hall.
Herrsen says he doesn't follow a prepared philosophy and that he doesn't search one. He thinks, that instead, the great challenge is to find new ways of design again and again that give the future its face. Ideas are the result of determined demands, and his task as a designer is to find functional and aesthetic solutions for this demands.
As this aim often succeeds for him and his partner, the amount of desired design awards they have received did not come by chance (for example the red dot award 2004 and 2005).

2016 is shaping up to be one of Bristol Palin's most whirlwind yet.
Just seven months after her surprise wedding to former ex Dakota Meyer, the Dancing With the Stars alum and oldest daughter of Sarah Palin has announced she is expecting her third child. In her words, "Looking back many months ago, I would never have dreamed this is where I would be."
In a newly penned post on her blog, the 26-year-old expectant mother of two reveals she always had plans to have another baby with Meyer despite their past broken engagement.
"Dakota and I have been through trials in the public eye, and I am so thankful for where we are today," she wrote.
"Keeping with our unconventional life, it has been so much fun to keep this news just among our family and friends for the first half of our pregnancy; that Dakota knows the baby's gender but the rest of us won't until he or she is born; and even while pregnant with Sailor (under more unconventional circumstances) I always knew a third child someday would complete our family."
Broken Engagements, Unexpected Pregnancies and a Surprise Wedding: A Journey Through the Highs and Lows of Bristol Palin's Love Life
Palin famously got pregnant for the first time at 17 and welcomed son Tripp with her high school boyfriend, former fiancé Levi Johnston. The couple never wed, and instead, went their separate ways three months after the baby was born.
Seven years later in 2015, she was engaged again, this time to Meyer. "Truly the luckiest girl in the world, cannot wait to marry this man!!!!" Bristol wrote on Instagram at the time.
Still, the wedding did wait. The two called off their engagement just days before the ceremony. Meyer's name popped back up in the headlines when Palin gave birth to daughter Sailor Grace seven months later, but did not immediately name the father.
After the Marines veteran was granted joint custody of the baby, the two appeared more frequently together on social media until it was revealed in June that they were officially husband and wife and had wed a month earlier.
Another surprise came a week ago when Palin confirmed she is expecting for the third time, though the baby's sex is a secret to everyone but her husband. "The family are extremely happy and looking forward to the blessed event and to their growing family," Palin's rep told E! News.
As she reflected in her blog post, "God brought us together. And then back together. Pretty miraculous."

*laughs* Ah, you cheered me up today, thank you. This was a great fic; I think I'm starting to like this pairing.

And so I leave a review for the Shameless authors... :)
That was very much interesting and entertaining. I'm having a growing fondness for the pair Gino/Rolo and it's all your fault! Congratulate yourselves dearies!
Anyway, nice story, I've read Spring in Autumn too and I also liked it. Hope you continue spreading the love!
_bigger diamond indeed... Can anyone blame Gino if he's showy?

Please Don't
It came as a surprise,
standing there with my friends.
She seemed nervous,
but why?
A moment later
I knew.
"I'm not sure..."She began.
I stayed silent.
She paused.
I knew that what was coming
wouldn't be easy.
I waited.
She waited.
She spoke,
I listened.
I accept her
the way she is,
but that doesn't mean
I agree.
I'll stand behind her
no matter what,
What do I say,
when her hugs
become awkward?
I don't want
to lose her.
She's my sister,
my friend,
but feelings
can't be controlled.
Please don't
be mad.
It's not your fault
but neither is it mine.
Please don't
let this
affect us.
Please remember,
I'll stand behind you
no matter what.
Through thick and thin,
through easy and hard,
through love and hate;
I'm here forever.
