A/N: Okay, here's the deal. I had a hard time getting back into writing this week, so I decided to start something a little different. This will be a continuing series, but I cannot say when I will be updating it next. This is intended as a writing exercise for me and to get the amazing amounts of sexy times out of my head that build up all week. When an idea pops in my head, this will get updated. No sooner probably. I will not be forcing anything with this one.
It's just random sex, people. No plot and chapters will not relate to each other in anyway. How bad could that really be?
Oh, one more thing. This is meant to be incredibly OOC. I'm tired of trying to keep everybody relatively within character. So screw that.
Snapshots of Desire
Chapter 1
His fingers ghosted up the smooth skin of my thighs. His touch was electric, making every nerve ending fire at will. My breathing was disgustingly erratic and uneven. I could barely string together a coherent thought, much less a full sentence.
"Perfect," Edward whispered into my stomach.
His breath was hot, but for some reason I still broke out in goose bumps. I could feel his nose running over them, brushing from side to side across the wide expanse of skin.
"Mine," he growled and looked up at me.
Our eyes locked, green with brown. Emerald with chocolate.
Everything I ever needed to know about him I could find in his eyes. When his face betrayed no emotion, I could see how he felt just by looking into his eyes. Love, fear, lust, despair, desire, sadness. They were all reflected in varying shades and inflections.
I knew them all. I always had. From the moment I'd met him, I'd been able to read him better than any other person. Before me, he'd been locked away behind those eyes. Locked in the battleground of his mind.
But now he had me. And I had him.
Two become one.
"Yours," I breathed and he grinned at me, one side breaking off.
"Always," he mumbled.
"Forever," I returned.
His lips dipped back down and pressed an urgent kiss to my steadily dampening panties. I was already so sensitive, so in need of his touch. The dull throb I'd been feeling all day was turning into a strong ache.
I wanted him, no I needed him. It was no longer just a simple want. I needed him like I need air. Or needed food. Hell, I could go without food if I just had him.
Edward took the waistband of my panties in his teeth and tugged. My eyes were simply glued to him as he dragged the material down my legs and tossed it aside on the big bed.
His strong hands gripped my thighs and pulled them apart. I gasped at his force while every remaining ounce of willpower crumbled. If I was ready for him before, I was willing to beg for him now. He strength was such a turn on, something I dreamed out when he wasn't there.
He positioned himself so he was kneeling in the space between my legs and scooted towards me.
His erection stood out, belaying his need for me was just as strong as mine was for him.
God, he was beautiful. All of him. Every last inch of him was sheer perfection, sheer magnificence. He tried to claim he had flaws, but I had yet to find one. I had searched every part of his body and all I could find was more and more perfection.
I almost felt inadequate next to him. Imperfect.
Edward made sure to tell me different. Every chance he got he told me about my own perfection. Mentioned my beautiful parts. Showed me what he liked best, what he found most alluring.
"Do you have any idea how fucking hot you are?" he panted.
I shook my head, not trusting my ability to speak.
"God, you fucking beautiful. I can't get enough of you. Every time the thought of you pops in my head, I get hard. Painful almost. I just want to bury myself in you, soak up your warmth from inside out," he growled and palmed my thighs.
My head rolled back and my hands went to cover his.
"From the moment I first tasted, first had you, I knew I had to have you forever. There was no other option, no other choice for me. You're like an addiction, Bella. A wonderful, sexy, gorgeous, alluring, fucking hot addiction," he continued.
My mouth fell open and a stilted groan rolled of my lips. His words were having an enormous impact on me. My body was melting under his touch, turning into liquid fire and molten lava.
Edward's hands, covered by my own, began to push up my legs. He paused at my hips and gripped them.
"Mine," he growled.
His hands continued northward, and I allowed my hands to be guided with him. I had nothing left to resist him, as if I would want to. There was no resistance to him anymore. I'd tried in the beginning, but once I'd fully experienced him I was lost forever. Lost to his power. Lost to his desire. Lost to my own overwhelming need to be with him, come hell or high water.
As his hands moved, he began to lean over me. His body angled and I could feel his stiff cock brushing up against my heat. Barely. Just barely. A ghost of a touch. A skim of hot skin against my wetness.
Not enough.
I wanted more.
So much more.
"Please," I begged, my voice low and broken.
"Beg for it, Bella. I want to hear you beg for my cock inside you," Edward responded, his own voice husky and cracking. I knew it took everything in him not to just pounce and impale himself into me.
But it was all of this tension, this pressure, this buildup that made the final goal all that much better.
So we both suffered for it.
"Please, Edward. I need you," I panted.
"That's a good girl."
Faster than I could blink, he was on top of me. My bare breasts pressed into his chest and my nipples were instantly hard.
He moaned deep in his throat, and I felt the vibration of his chest against mine. I gasped at the feeling and pressed myself into him.
I felt him at my entrance, hard and ready for me.
"Fuck me, Edward," I gasped in his ear and bit down.
I must have caught him by surprise because the instant I bit down, he pulled back and pushed his cock into me. Filling me to the hilt. Splitting me straight down the middle. Completing me.
We were becoming one again.
It was this connection, this sense of fulfillment that was enough for me. I didn't care if either of us climaxed and I'm pretty sure he didn't either. It was just the knowledge that he was in me and we were linked somehow.
But of course, we could still feel better. My mind liked the link, but my body loved the completion.
And so did Edward's.
So he began to move. He pulled out just enough to slam back into me, pushing me higher on the bed.
I yelped at the force, but it wasn't a yelp from the pain. I loved it when he was rough.
"Every time … god … I can't get enough … tight … fuck … god," he panted incoherently between thrusts.
Edward leaned back just enough so he could get a better angle. His hands found purchase on my breasts and began massaging them in a manner only he knew how to do. He rolled my nipples between his fingers, pinching and pulling as needed.
His name rolled off my tongue like a religious chant. He was wrong. It was I who couldn't get enough of him. I couldn't get enough of this. Of us.
"I love you, baby," Edward groaned and his head fell back.
He increased his pace and the coil in my stomach pulled tighter. We were close. Both of us. Sometimes he would finish first; sometimes I would. It was never a race though. We just both wanted each other to feel what the other was feeling.
And at that moment, I was feeling everything.
Every thrust. Every touch. Every swipe. Every gasp. Every movement of his hands. Every everything.
"Bella, love. I need you to cum for me. Can you do that?" he gasped and his body began to tense up.
How could he still form sentences? How could he come up with a logical thought when all I could manage was gasps of air and shouts of his name?
"Cum for me!" he shouted.
He gave one last hard thrust and we both fell over the edge at the same moment. We plunged over the same high ledge we'd both been climbing together.
These were the best. When we came together. There was nothing greater in my world than the moment when he exploded in me and I exploded back around him.
My world exploded and his name ripped from my lips, rattling the glass in the window panes.
He pulsed within me and continued his thrusts, though with less force now.
I couldn't think, couldn't process, couldn't do anything more than feel him. All of him. I left my body behind and our souls soared together. We were in a place beyond time. Beyond anything than just the two of us together as one.
The completion.
The high.
The amazing feeling of wholeness. Oneness.
"I love you," I whispered the words into the thick air around us.
I meant it more than I could explain.
When I was with him like this, my world was at peace.

The course is delivered in a range of modes including contemporary online and face-to-face learning experiences in UTS's leading-edge facilities.
This course has been developed as a response to a global talent gap for people with data science knowledge, as identified and reported by the McKinsey Global Institute study (2011). The study predicted a shortfall by 2018 of nearly 200,000 data scientists and 1.5 million managers with the capability to make decisions using big data in the United States alone.
The dramatic growth of data in every conceivable industry, from oceanography to market research, presents another major driving force in generating unprecedented global demand for data science skills.

Contractors use blueprints to guide the construction process. Blueprints show the floor plan, the location of plumbing and electrical fixtures, and the materials to be used. By law, contractors are required to include a copy of the blueprints when they apply for a building permit with the municipal building department, which maintains at least one copy for its records. Blueprints filed with the building department are public record and accessible to anyone wanting to view them. There is, however, usually a small fee for copies.
Go to the building department of the local government that serves the area where the house is located.
Give a clerk your address and ask for a copy of the building plans.
Pay any required copy fees and take your plans.
- Call ahead to find out whether you can get a copy immediately or there is a wait. Larger municipalities store older plans off site.
- Contact your builder about a copy if he is still in business. Most builders use the same plans continually.

Two weeks ago my Grandfather, Andre "Greywolf" Forest passed away. He was the spearhead of the spiritual movement within my family. As a child growing up, it was forbidden for him to talk about his Native roots. When his son, my uncle, Don "Standing Bear" Forest was in his 20's he had a deep calling within himself that led him down a spiritual path of digging and uncovering who we really were. Years of genealogy work traced our roots and history to the Northwestern tribes of the Sou'West Nova Metis, Abenaki, MicMaq, and Huron tribes. With this new information and deep calling within our family, Standing Bear and Greywolf turned to Native practice and spirituality and I was brought up steeped in this tradition. My grandfather was a great man. I spent many, many weekends dancing and drumming with him at powwows and listening intently to his stories about the earlier days. My grandmother, Ester "Night dancer" and Greywolf were 2 of the most compassionate people I have ever met. Throughout their life, they raised 4 children and had over 50 foster children along with a sled dog team. At his service the other week, hundreds of people showed up to pay their respects and sing the MicMaq honor song. As the line of people went by, the room was filled with hand drums and people exchanging prayer ties and offering tobacco to his alter. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life, I have tears in my eyes now thinking about it. It was a huge honor to be a part of this ceremony and to stand by my uncle, Standing Bear's side as we sent his spirit up to the Creator.
Pepe, Grandfather, Greywolf, may the Creator hold you in his hands, may your spirit talk to us through the wind, and the trees, and the four-legged, may we feel your heartbeat within the sacred drum and may our prayers be brought to you through the tobacco smoke within the sacred pipe.
There's a word in the Micmaq language, Aquini (pronounced aqua-knee), meaning until we meet again.
Aquini Greywolf, your spirit lives on in every song, every beat of the drum, every red tail hawk in the sky, and every cool mountain breeze.
The second thing I would like to share is the story of Melissa and I getting engaged! This was the most amazing day of our lives. We began the day in Boulder with a beautiful view overlooking the town from the big lit up star on the hill. We got an early start to the day and headed to Ft. Collins for breakfast. The place we wanted to go had been closed down so we hit a local bagel shop which ended up being one of the best bagel sandwiches ever! After we grabbed our breakfast we hit the road. Melissa brought me up into the Poudre Canyon. This is where she spent most of her time with the dogs on the weekends before and after grad school. It was one of the most beautiful roads I've had the pleasure of driving. It was November 24th which was also my birthday!!! Everywhere you drive in the Poudre, there are massive rock formations. We saw 3 or 4 groups of people climbing. It was a picture perfect, blue bird day in Colorado. After driving for a couple hours, Melissa told me about a Shambala center up a random dirt road. We decided to go check it out. This place was nestled upon a 10,000 ft. mountain pass. It was legit in the middle of NOWHERE. We parked the car and headed up the foot path. It was about a 2 mile hike out to the Stupa. We walked across a beautiful hand built bridge that ran over a trickling mountain stream. There were prayer flags hanging everywhere around this bridge. We continued up the path, when we came around this corner there was a clearing with a beautiful altar with offerings people had left over the years piling up all over. In the distance was the most beautiful Buddhist Stupa. We walked around the perimeter of the Stupa and finished in the front. We removed our shoes, went in, and sat in meditation for about 20 minutes. I felt at home on this property way out in the mountains, far, far away from modern life. When we walked back down the path, I stopped and offered a coin I had on my keychain for years a native elder had gifted me. On this coin was the Great Spirit prayer. I said the prayer and left it with what looked like a collage of prayers and healing. As we came up to that beautiful bridge, I had something that was burning a hole in my pocket. I grasped it tightly and knew this was the right moment to ask Melissa to be my wife. I had been holding onto this ring for over a week at this point and was waiting to make my move. I stopped, put my water bottle down, took her hand in mine and asked her. She was completely shocked and lost for words. I said, "Is that a yes?" and she said "Yes, yes, a million times yes!" Both of our eyes filled with love, gratitude, and happiness and we embraced each other and slowly made our way down the foot path, back to the car, to continue our journey to Steamboat Springs. On our way, we stopped at, what are known as the 420 boulders way out in the middle of the Poudre canyon. We ended up climbing for about an hour and a half. While we were climbing I kept catching her staring at the ring I had picked out for her :-) On our way back to the car from climbing, we stopped in a big field riddled with wild sage. We said a little prayer giving thanks to the Creator for this sage and picked a few bundles to burn later on. When we finally arrived in Steamboat we were starving so we set off into town and found this little amazing joint called Sweet Pea, and had a giant vegetarian feast, celebrating the happiest day of our life. After dinner, we set out to find the infamous Strawberry Park hot springs. We spent a few hours soaking in the hot springs until a HUGE group of tourists showed up and took over the springs. In any case, this was hands down, the happiest day of my life and it makes me super excited to think about spending the rest of my life with such an amazing woman, my best friend and life partner :-)

Letter to Carol Rushin, Acting Regional Administrator US Environmental Protection Agency Region 8
November 24, 2009
Carol Rushin, Acting Regional Administrator
US Environmental Protection Agency Region 8
1595 Wynkoop Street
Denver, CO 80202-1129
Re: NPL listing of the AMC Smelter and Refinery
Dear Ms. Rushin:
Historic refining waste on Atlantic Richfield Company's (ARCo) Anaconda Mineral Company (AMC) Smelter and Refinery properties and rail grade, as well as aerial deposition from smokestack emissions in the vicinity, have resulted in contamination of various properties in the community of Black Eagle. I appreciate the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to date to identify contamination and to determine whether contaminants are occurring at levels that create a long-term risk to human health and the environment.
These contaminated areas, collectively known as the AMC Smelter and Refinery site, and similar names, continue to pose a long-term risk to the health of Montanans in the area. There is widespread support from citizens in the community of Black Eagle, the county and the county Board of Health for listing of the site on EPA's National Priority List (NPL).
I believe it is imperative to address contamination that poses a risk to our citizens in a timely, coordinated, and cost-effective fashion. Therefore, I, too, support the listing of this site on the NPL. As Governor, I stress the importance of EPA addressing the concerns raised by Cascade County in its August 18, 2009, letter (attached) and to keep the community informed of your progress. In addition, I encourage you to address the concerns raised by the community of Black Eagle in the Black Eagle Civic Club letter of November 20, 2009, (attached), and to keep the residents informed of your plans and progress. In particular, I encourage you to ensure the responsible parties initiate investigation and cleanup on residential properties as expeditiously as possible in order to minimize exposure to the contaminants and reduce the disruption that cleanup activities generate to the residents.
On behalf of the state, I want to stress the need for comprehensive and thorol1gh identification of contaminated properties, including but not limited to the ARCo refinery properties and associated surface and ground waters affecting the Missouri River. I encourage EPA to ensure it utilizes contracting opportunities that maximize the potential for local employment in the cleanup process.
EPA must be committed to timely funding of cleanup-related activities for the whole site. As EPA and my Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) work through the activities necessary to clean up this site, we urge EPA to apply state cleanup levels to contaminants and to involve DEQ in the contractor selection and management process.
I have directed DEQ to provide assistance to the EPA in addressing community concerns. have also directed them to work in cooperation with EPA to conduct coordinated actions and to find a local repository site necessary to achieve cleanup of residential properties.
Please work with Richard Opper, Director of the Montana DEQ, and his staff to meet our common goals.

Overview of stem cell research
Give an overview of Stem cell research as an issue that is happening outside the Unites States. Explain what interests you about this topic and why you selected it. State the position you intend to advocate. Identify a few resources that can be use to explore this topic.
Solution Preview
Hi student,
*Stem cell research
(a) Give an overview of Stem cell research and an issue that is happening outside the Unites States
One issue regarding stem cell research outside of the United States is the use of new technologies in relation to bioethics associated with this form of research. For instance, Sleeboom-Faulkner (2010) notes that rooted in the everyday practice of Chinese human embryonic structure, research is identified according to specific risks such as: (1) moral risk [violation of cultural norms]; (2) material risk [distribution of material sources and wealth]; (3) political risk [bioethics and public debate; and (4) reputational risk [personal and national honor]. Sleeboom-Faulkner asserts that global awareness exists among stem cell scientists and researchers, and many are aware of the risks. However, most display a lack of interests regarding the opportunities and constraints of stem cell research. As a result, the 'risk signature' of human embryonic stem cell shows that China is in opposition to those of countries abroad, and those in different environments. Stem cell research has been conducted in several countries including Europe, the United States, China and Scotland (Montero, Forrester, Grannan, Howard & Salas, 2009).
Based on their ...
Solution Summary
This solution provides an overview of stem cell research as an issue that is approached outside of the United States.

Atlantic City police won't miss one inch of the action when the Miss America parade comes home next month.
Cameras — and personnel — on loan from the Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness will mean video coverage of the entire Boardwalk route, said Deputy Chief Henry White, incident commander for Miss America security.
At a news conference Tuesday, representatives for the city, tourism and the competition spoke about the collaborative plans for two weeks of activities that will begin with the contestants' arrival next Tuesday. People are being discouraged from bringing large bags or coolers to the Boardwalk, and police remind people that bicycles are prohibited outside of the set hours.
"Public safety is paramount here," Atlantic City Police Sgt. Monica McMenamin said. "Some things you'll see, such as uniformed police officers, and lots of things you won't see."
The law enforcement effort combines federal, state, county and local entities, some of whom met Monday in a closed meeting with Miss America officials to discuss the plans.
"The expertise, professionalism and joint coordination displayed by our local, regional and state law enforcement and emergency management officials is truly impressive and has exceeded our expectations," said Miss America Organization CEO Sam Haskell III. "Everything is planned to the finest detail."
As many as 200,000 people are expected in town for the parade and Miss America competition, Haskell said.
The city is used to dealing with large crowds, White pointed out. But, with Miss America's return home, they know the focus will be on whether Atlantic City can handle it.
All involved seem to think the city can.
"Since (Miss America) was here last, things have changed, so our plans have changed," McMenamin said.
Planning started as soon as talk began of Miss America's return. Then the Boston Marathon bombing happened in April.
Boston was a tragic lesson for law enforcement, said Capt. Tim Friel, who heads up investigations. "Now, it gives us an upper hand (in planning)," he said. "It's the little things you learn to look for."
Like the Boston Marathon, the parade route is an open venue that makes it difficult to regulate who can be there and what they can bring. While police are discouraging backpacks and large bags, there is no avenue for blocking people from getting onto the Boardwalk carrying one.
Bags will not be searched, but police urge anyone who sees suspicious activity to inform one of the many uniformed officers who will be onsite.
"We don't need to remind people (to be vigilant)," said Lt. Doug Pierce, who is coordinating crowd control. "Boston is fresh in their minds."
Unlike the last time the parade went down the Boardwalk, there will be 30,000 paid seats along the route this time, limiting where people can stand, set up beach chairs or — as has been tradition for some — follow along. Logistics are still sketchy on exactly how the additional seating will affect those trying to view the parade for free.
The city's Bomb Squad — with help from the state Detect and Render Safe Task Force — will sweep the parade route and other undisclosed areas before the event, patrol it during the parade and then do another sweep after everything is done, explained Lt. Jerry Barnhart, who heads the city's squad.
And while the parade will be well covered by law enforcement, Pierce stressed that the rest of the city will be taken care of as well.
Miss America weekend also includes the Seafood Festival and Atlantic City Triathlon, which will be covered by officers on details paid through the venues. The Miss America festivities, however, will be on regular and overtime.
"We're going to have a lot of tired cops at the end of the week," Pierce said.
Lt. Bridget Pierce, who will be in charge of security for the 53 contestants, will work her officers' schedules around the events, in hopes of having it be part of their normal 40-hour workweek, rather than using too much overtime.
There will be uniform and undercover officers on the Boardwalk for the parade.
"We don't want it to the point where it will look like a cop convention," Doug Pierce said. "We don't want to put the parade in a shadow. They're going to blend in."
Casino cameras already facing the Boardwalk will be monitored by state Division of Gaming Enforcement officers, while the borrowed cameras will be under surveillance by those who normally run them.
A police command post will be set up inside Boardwalk Hall.
Sgt. Mary Grace Cooke is working with neighboring municipalities to provide bicycle and motorcycle officers who will accompany each of the participants down the two-mile parade route, as was the tradition before Miss America left Atlantic City in 2004.
Among those on hand will be several bomb technicians, equipment and explosives-sniffing dogs, many from the task force, although law enforcement leaders do not want to give specific numbers.
The K-9s will join Atlantic City's own team of Officer James Miltenberger and his explosives K-9, Boomer. The two graduated from the K-9 academy June 21 and had more than 80 searches during this year's airshow.
Those attending the Miss America festivities are being urged to use public transportation. Traffic will be handled by Lt. Ron Krause, who said the Traffic Unit — along with outside help — will handle the flow just like any other large event. The heavier corridors will be manned.
A meeting held Monday at Boardwalk Hall included members of the Miss America Organization, Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority President Jeff Vasser, representatives from the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office and heads of both the county and city Emergency Management offices.
"This has involved more unity than I've ever seen before in my 35 years as a police officer," Public Safety Director Will Glass said as he left the meeting that Miss America officials asked be closed to the media.
"We can't stop everything, but we can minimize the potential and be prepared for any scenario," White said. "It's a good, smart team that put together the plan to prepare for the pageant."

Kalaupapa traveling exhibit goes to Oahu March 2
The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement News Release
Hilo, Hawaii – Over 1,000 people attended the debut of the Kalaupapa traveling exhibit at the East Hawaii Cultural Center (EHCC) in December 2011. The exhibit features the photographs of acclaimed photographer, Wayne Levin.
Organized by the nonprofit organization Ka 'Ohana O Kalaupapa, the exhibit features 100 photographs of Kalaupapa, her people and family members celebrating their ancestors. The words of the people accompany the photographs.
A discussion featuring family members sharing their experiences was held in conjunction with the show. The exhibit is funded in part by Hawai'i Tourism Authority's (HTA) Ku kulu Ola:
Living Hawaiian Culture Program, the Atherton Family Foundation, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and IDEA, an international organization dedicated to empowering people affected by leprosy.
Ka 'Ohana O Kalaupapa was founded to promote the dignity of every individual sent to Kalaupapa since 1866, through advocating on behalf of current residents; preserving the unique history of Kalaupapa; and bringing the Native Hawaiians sent to Kalaupapa back to their family histories, the history of Kalaupapa, and the history of Hawaii.
Wayne Levin has been photographing Kalaupapa since 1984. When he became involved with Ka 'Ohana O Kalaupapa in 2003, he began photographing family members in ways that bring to mind their ancestors.
Sol Kaho`ohalahala, a member of the 'Ohana Board of Directors, attended the opening of the exhibit in Hilo. A photo of Kaho`ohalahala visiting the grave of his Kalaupapa ancestor, Lillian Kaho`ohalahala is included in the exhibit.
"Seeing all of these photographs of Kalaupapa residents and now their families honoring their ancestors makes us realize that there is a future at Kalaupapa, a future of 'ohana and always remembering our kupuna who are now part of the land," said Kaho`ohalahala. "It was wonderful to meet other descendants in Hilo and share our experiences."
The exhibit will open on Oahu at Windward Community College in Kaneohe on March 2 and run through April 1 at the venue.
Later, the exhibit will appear at Kapolei Hale and Maui Arts and Cultural Center. For more information as it becomes available on exhibit locations, family discussions and dates, please visit www.kalaupapaohana.org.

Eggless Christmas Cupcakes
By Kurma
Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations,is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.
Today Arise India Forum would like to present to you recipe by Kurma on how to make Eggless Christmas cupcakes. Enjoy your day remembering teachings of Jesus and by having Christmas cupcakes. Merry Christmas to one & all.
• Self raising flour – 450g + Plain flour – 50g
• Mixed dried fruits (I used a mixture of dates, apricots, prunes, cranberries, raisins, sultanas and cherries) – 350g
• Dark brown sugar (such as muscavado) – 320g
• Sparkling water – 250ml
• Chopped pecans – 80g
• Ground almonds – 100g
• Baking soda – 1 tsp
• Baking powder – 2 tsp
• Ground mixed spice (cloves, nutmeg, coriander seed powder) – 3 tsp
• Ground cinnamon – 2 tsp
• Cornflour – 2 tsp
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 orange
• Lemon juice – 50ml
• Orange juice – 60ml
• Natural yogurt – 2 tsp
• Apple cider vinegar – 1 ½ tsp
• Sunflower oil – 2 tbsp
To decorate:
• Marzipan – 250g
• White icing (ready to roll) – 250g
• Golden syrup (or dark corn syrup) to brush on the cakes and stick the decorations on
• Red and green food colours
• Icing sugar to dust
• Edible glitter
1. Mix together the dried fruits (chop up any large pieces) and chopped pecans with 50g plain flour. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl sift together the self raising flour, baking powder, baking soda, mixed spice,cinnamon and cornflour. Sift again then gently fold in the ground almonds, lemon and orange zest.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, yogurt, apple cidervinegar and oil.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the sifted flour mixture and add the sparkling water. Whisk and then fold in the flour-dusted fruits and nuts. Be careful not to overwork the cake batter.
5. Spoon the mixture into a lined cupcake tray. Bake at 160 degrees C for around 20 minutes or until a skewer poked through the centre comes out clean. Don't open the oven door for the first 15 minutes of baking.
6. Allow to cool.
7. Brush with warm golden syrup and first stick on thin discs of marzipan (I rolled my marzipan with a rolling pin, dusting with icing sugar, and used a wine glass to cut to size but you could also use a cookie cutter or just freehand it).
8. Brush the marzipan with more golden syrup and repeat for the icing. If you don't want it to be too sweet, roll the icing thinner.
9. Colour your white icing with your food colours and roll the red into little berry-sized balls and roll the green, then cut into holly shapes. Dust with a flurry of icing sugar and edible glitter.

The swollen feet have returned! Weeks 37 and 38 were filled with many days of this, but I am very happy to report that my wedding ring still fits! :) Sleep has been extremely uncomfortable, and I've even taken Tylenol PM (recommended by my doc) a few nights just to get enough zzz's in. Cravings have sort of leveled off...so not much to report there.
While I thought about waiting to update you guys until I write Gavin's birth story, I figured I'd go ahead and write about yesterday's events now while I still have the time to blog. Yesterday when I woke up, I began having contractions. These contractions were 5-10 minutes apart but only lasted about 20 seconds each. From 7:30am until 11:00pm last night (when I wrote this post) I had consistent contractions. Keith and I went to my doctor so that they could check me, and I didn't get the news I had hoped for. (I thought contractions = labor/hospital/baby, but apparently not always) I am only 1.5cm dilated but I am 70% effaced and my cervix has considerably dropped! The midwife that I saw told us that I could go into labor tonight or two weeks from now. Since the contractions are very consistent and painful, I am praying that Gavin comes soon. I fear that if I have too many days of this, I will be too exhausted once active labor begins to achieve a natural birth. I will say that while the contractions are painful, they are tolerable. They definitely resemble the pain I experienced with Endometriosis, so it's a familiar pain. I know it's only going to get worse, but for now I can manage these. If Gav isn't here by Thursday then we're heading back to the doc to see my progress. So, that's all for now. I sincerely hope that the next post I write is a "He's Here!" one and not a "Still Waiting" one...

Supernatural transport

This true story occurred sometime in 1970. In retrospect, it is as accurate as it can be. There are not enough words for me to prove the truth of this story. I can only wish you had been there with me, but read on and discover the most unbelievable way of travelling from point A to point B!
I drove out to work one day. It was one of those usual clear, sunny mornings and everything was normal except traffic. Within minutes, I ran into a hardly moving, bumper-to-bumper jam after crossing the bridge. Losing patience and in attempt to outsmart this queue, I turned left, thinking I could loop back ahead somewhere. A few turns and I knew I was beginning to get lost. The river to my left was the only landmark I had and I was sure it was the North side, so I knew I was headed East. A few more turns and not a thing was familiar anymore. I was completely lost. I drove past a horse race track, a well-known international bath and laundry products manufacturing plant and a fenced power transformer station. These were the last landmarks that registered in my memory.
Tense, looking from side to side, looking just like a lost driver, I continued driving on this straight stretch of road through this entirely unfamiliar place, not knowing where I was! Houses of modern design, some new, hinted that I had entered a subdivision. Then, all of a sudden, there was a traffic light with red light on at the intersection up ahead about one block. I stepped on the brake and jolted the car to a stop. It was here where the inexplicable occurred.
A brief description is in order at this point to help visualize the map of the area.
An old highway runs North-South between two residential areas. It has two lanes on each side, divided by a median tended with grass and a row of widely but evenly spaced trees. Both the West and East sides of this highway are fenced with heavy adobe concrete walls in some parts and rock boulders in others all the way South beginning at the embankments by the river in the North.
As far as I can recall, during that time there was no link between the two residential areas East and West of the highway except at the intersection discussed further in the text. Needless to say, to go from the residential area on one side of the highway to the residential area on the other side, one must cross the highway and the only crossing was at that intersection.
On approaching the intersection I realized I was about to cross the highway. The brake was naturally my first reaction. Then I noticed the well known hotel facing the road on the opposite side across from the traffic light. It was at this point when I recognized the location. I had occasionally passed by this intersection while driving down the highway, so this was not an unfamiliar site, although I had never been on this exact spot before. Of course I had always known that the hotel was on the West side of the highway. >From all these information, I got a positive bearing: I was on the East side of the highway headed West towards the intersection.
But something very bizarre happened. Just before the car jolted to a stop, I had noticed that the North side of the hotel with its great big name was facing East instead of North! Then, just as the car stopped, the hotel switched to its normal position (turned ccw 90 degrees) North side facing North, East side facing East in the blink of an eye!, just like one would see on TV! Notice now that the above events happened only within a few seconds after the intersection with the red traffic light over it had suddenly come in sight.
Things became clear to me while I was waiting for the green light at this intersection: I got lost on the WEST side of the highway, near the river, past a power transformer station; the intersection with the red traffic light on suddenly appeared; I jolted the car to a stop; I never crossed the highway ... what was I doing waiting for the green light at this intersection EAST of the highway? How did I get here? All hairs began rising at this point, not from fear but probably from the realization of this impossibility!
Whatever it was that occurred, I found my bewildered self on this spot at the exit gate of a private property just before the intersection under the traffic light East of the highway. It was indeed not possible for me to be here without crossing the highway from the West!
Although this amazing, wonderful experience occurred in 1970, it is still hair-raising for me. I can still see the details as though it happened only yesterday. I have no questions to ask but only wish I would know its purpose.
There was no internet in 1970. I did not have my own PC until September of 2001 and not until a few months later did I have the opportunity to publish a slightly different version of this story in some ghost and paranormal websites in the internet.
With the help of modern technology I recently viewed in the internet the detailed map of the area where I experienced this wonder. Tremendous infrastructure changes (streets, highways, bridges and buildings) have been done, not only in that area but throughout the country as well.
I have never seen the place again since I left the country in 1975. From the internet map, the landmarks which I saw then are still in the area today but the intersection where I inexplicably appeared has been completely changed, viz., a mid-air rail transit station and a bus terminal now stand in place of the simple intersection with a traffic light and the private gate which were there during the incredible occurrence.
As far as the exact distance of this amazing transport, I cannot be sure because I do not know exactly where I was transported from. However, using the scaled internet map, the direct distance from the area of the last landmarks to the aforementioned intersection is approximately 1 mile, and from the bridge directly to the intersection is exactly 3.74 miles.
