I shall not fail that rendezvous
It is years later, after the war is past, and Orihime has come as she does every year, to clean the gravestones of her beloved dead and to leave flowers. The cemetery is a quiet one, bordering on a lake and wild land, and she can hear the birds singing. After joy, sorrow -
"Surely they will put a nice angel there instead," she murmurs, and bends to put incense in front of the gravestone marked Ulquiorra. After all, she never knew his name before he was an Espada, but he died, and he had once been alive, and he had deserved a gravestone as much as any of the other dead.
The clouds above break, and the sunlight breaks through, brilliant and painful. The clouds are still grey, but the sunlight burns around their edges as fiercely as molten metal, so harsh that she cannot quite say what colour it is.
One of the birds on the lake takes flight, startled: others follow, and there is suddenly a rush of wings, with flocks of birds throwing themselves up onto the wind. Behind the smaller birds a crane follows, wings fanning out wide and white.
Something in her heart shifts and breaks a little, but it is a good break, a healing break that releases an old sorrow. Ulquiorra is free now, just as her brother is free, and he is no longer chained to her or to Aizen or even to his old hunger and despair. Maybe some day she will see him again, and maybe they will recognise each other, or maybe not: maybe they will simply pass in the street, two strangers going about their own lives, following their own happiness, and glad to be so.
The crane beats its wings again, climbing towards where the sunlight splits the clouds, and she has to shield her eyes with her hand and look away.
The gravestones wait: she has the duty of the living, which is to tend them and to remember. The dead are gone.

We are to live on earth as in heaven. This is the Father's will. What happens in heaven is to be mirrored through us on the earth. Jesus said he did what he saw the Father doing. He also said what he heard the Father saying. By imitating the Father, Jesus lived on earth as in heaven. Jesus is our Lord, but he is also our example of how a human can fully live the will of heaven on earth.
For us to successfully live on earth as in heaven, we need the ability to see what the Father is doing and to hear what the Father is saying. We gain the connection of spiritually seeing and hearing the Father by having a transformed mind. We read the importance of having a transformed mind in Romans 12.
I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (vs. 1-2, MEV).
It is the renewing of the mind, which gives us the ability to prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. When we can prove the will of God, we are able to see with spiritual eyes and hear with spiritual ears. Then, we will have the mind of Christ. Having the mind of Christ enables us to live on earth as in heaven. For us to have a transformed mind and live on earth as in heaven, the following four steps are necessary.
A Transformed Spirit
We are familiar with the words of Jesus to Nicodemus.
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit" (John 3:5-8, MEV).
To have a transformed mind, we must first have a transformed spirit.
Our minds have been conformed to the world, and they have been influenced by the flesh. Therefore, we sin and fall short of the glory of God. This happens because our minds have continually chosen to side with the flesh and lead us into temptation. By coming to Christ in repentance and faith, our spirit is brought to life and is transformed through being born again. Then, a whole new way of life is possible.
It is through having a transformed spirit that our minds gain the ability to be transformed. It is the renewed spirit within us that begins to give our minds new thoughts. This happens because our transformed spirits are constantly communicating with the Spirit, and the Spirit is speaking the thoughts of the Father to our renewed spirit. These new thoughts are then communicated to our minds making it possible to for our minds to be transformed. In this process, our minds are beginning to become the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ empowers us to live on earth as in heaven.
However, this is only the beginning. We must move on to the second step for our minds to continue to be transformed.
A Transformed Understanding
After our spirits have been transformed, then we move to having a transformed understanding. Our transformed understanding comes from saturating our minds with Scripture.
This is not a purely logical and rational process. It is spiritual in nature. Because we cannot gain a transformed understanding without a transformed spirit, we are not talking about just gaining more knowledge of spiritual matters. We are talking about receiving revelation. A transformed spirit helps us to receive revelation from God's word, and the revelation brings a transformed understanding.
This new revelation we gain from God's word helps us to side with the new thoughts we are receiving by the Spirit through our renewed spirits. Instead of agreeing with the old, habitual thoughts of the world, through revelation we can agree with the Spirit. Then our minds are brought into agreement with the Father. Then we are one step closer to living on earth as in heaven.
Once our understanding is transformed by new revelation from God's word and the Spirit, we mature into the third step of a transformed mind.
Transformed Action
In James 2:26, we read, "Faith without works is dead" (MEV). Here, James is saying faith without action is not faith because faith produces action. In like manner, there is no transformed understanding without action. Transformed action is proof of transformed understanding. If there is no transformed action, there is no transformed understanding.
It used to be thought that right thinking alone produced right behavior. This is not completely true. We all know people who have right belief and can even say the right things, but they are not necessarily behaving rightly. Wrong behavior trumps right thinking every time.
Instead of thinking our way into right behavior alone, we must also behave our way into right thinking. Unless our transformed understanding is translated into transformed action, we will not experience a truly transformed mind. Transformed action reinforces our transformed understanding making it more likely that we will receive more new revelation from God's word, which causes more transformed understanding. Without transformed action, transformed understanding will be lost and become dead. This is what Jesus meant when he said, "Take heed what you hear. The measure you give will be measured for you, and to you who hear will more be given. For to him who has will more be given. And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has" (Mark 4:24-25, MEV). After all, how can one really live on earth as in heaven without transformed action?
For us to truly have a transformed mind, we must have transformed action; however, without step number four all will be lost.
The Transforming Spirit
This is a truth that is often overlooked. A transformed mind cannot take place without the transforming Spirit. It is the Spirit of God that empowers a transformed spirit, transformed understanding, and transformed action. None of what has been said can happen in and of itself or strictly by us alone without the transforming Spirit. "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts" (Zechariah 4:6, MEV).
It is necessary for us to receive the infilling of the Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit working in and through us, we cannot live the transformed lives we are called to live. Everything about a victorious spiritual life rests on the transforming Spirit. When we allow the Spirit to control our lives, we will be renewed in spirit, mind, and action. We will also be empowered to move in the gifts of the Spirit with miracles, signs, and wonders following.
Then we can truly do what we began with: live on earth as in heaven.

Heaven and all it contains has already come to you. Jesus announced, "Keep turning away from your sins and come back to God, for heaven's kingdom realm is now accessible" (Matthew 4:17, TPT). At another time, Jesus said, "But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you" (Matthew 12:28, MEV). One other time, Jesus even told some Jewish religious leaders, "The kingdom is not discovered in one place or another, for the kingdom realm of God is already expanding within some of you" (Luke 17:21, TPT).

Unbidden, Suzanne's body once again flush in arousal.
dating site for sugar daddies affiliates program is online dating successful
The thought filled her with both elation and monster. She could end this. Today.
My stomach was age in knots. I was turned on knowing my wife was fucking Jonathan but upset that I wouldn't be there to witness it or join in. At this point Katie had moved onto Derek's lap and her feet were resting on my lap. She was utterly making her self-relaxed listening to my wife getting off by Jonathan. As we carried on chatting, every now and then there would be a loud scream of joy that travelled across the cove.
"I'm sorry, I mean, assured, I'll never, I mean, I won't. I'm sorry."
"Another ladies night off," he asked hoping she was not seeing Al.
Unbidden, Suzanne's body once again flush in arousal.
When he opened the door, he left his suitcase, closed the door and walked to me.

Aaron Schafer – President
Our President, Aaron Schafer, was a client of Family Heritage long before he ever dreamed of opening an agency. Less than a year into owning their Cancer Policy from Family Heritage the Schafer family had their youngest daughter Sophie diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at 2 months old. The good news is that she is happy and healthy now!
Aaron's burning desire with Foundation Business Group is to make supplemental coverage an easy decision for families. Rarely do families stop and think, "What would we do if we had to go without income for 9-18 months due to a cancer battle? How would we pay our normal bills and also handle the tens of thousands of additional expense that come with cancer?" With the return of premium, we make it easy. Insurance if you need it. Money back if you don't. We wish all insurance worked that way!

|2,825 ha (6,980 acres)
Letea Forest is the oldest natural reservation in Romania. It was established in 1938, when the Romanian Council of Ministers passed Decision No. 645 declaring the forest a nature reserve. It is located between the Sulina and Chilia branches of Danube in the Danube Delta. It covers an area of approximately 2,825 ha (6,980 acres).
This forest was the initial foundation of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, which has been declared a World Heritage Site. It was internationally recognized as a Biosphere Reserve under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme in 1992.[2]
It has a subtropical aspect, due to the presence of the tropical creeper named Periploca graeca. This is a Mediterranean plant which finds its most northern refuge in the Danube Delta. Along with this, types of liana and other climbing plants are woven on the branches of the trees, such as the wild vine, the hop plant and the ivy.[2][3]
Letea Forest is formed mainly from trees like white poplar, black poplar, elm tree, English oak, silver lime, narrow-leafed ash and common alder. Along with those above, it is completed by a rich scale of sub-shrub species.[3]
It is also home for a rich fauna like the red-footed falcon, the white-tailed eagle, the roller, the hoopoe, the Vipera ursinii and the Danube Delta horse. There are approximately 1600 insect species identified.[3][4]

For more than three years, Quebecor has been using its newspapers, and more recently, itsSunNews Network TV license to pursue a campaign against CBC/Radio-Canada. But there are some things Quebecor won't tell you:
Quebecor says we're not accountable. They're wrong.
Quebecor says we shouldn't go to court to protect journalistic sources or program strategies. Why?
That we will continue to offer the great Canadian programs they love.
That they will see the value of their investment in our programs and services.
That we will remain accountable for the work we do.
We don't expect Quebecor to do the same.
We just think you should know what they won't tell you.

This is a delicious traditional Greek recipe that I grew up on. Enjoy!
good recipe - liked it - put less beans - 26 Jul 2016
What a great way to prepare lamb. Quick, easy and delicious. I didn't have any tomato sauce so instead I substituted two 14.5 oz cans of Italian Style Stewed Tomatoes for the Tomato Sauce and Water and it turned out great. I served it with rice pilaf. - 30 Aug 2000 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
We wanted to give this one ten stars! I used 2 cans of tomatoes and a can of beef stock instead of water, which gave it almost a stew consistency. I had mine over brown rice, but hubby and son ladeled it into bowls with the Light Wheat Rolls from this site. Fresh mint (out of the yard, since we had it) was the key. Thanks for sharing this one! - 05 May 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

My message, transmitted through representational and mechanical medians gained much static through the overlooking of a presumably minor detail, placement of background environment, and ruined the idea altogether and made the viewer misinterpret it.
The placement of the frame above the horizon line suggests that the viewer is high. Within some receivers context the high environment equals a scary experience. That is due to the symbol of the horizon being imbedded within the psyche as being a guide placement in a three dimensional environment and even the slightest alteration will be noticed and interpreted.
The secondary message, the message of the environment being what you look into through the sitting on a bench, was not received correctly and almost completely disregarded because of the the mistake in the channel bringing so much noise that the true message was dirtied.
with this postcard the bench almost becomes personified as experiencing the environment itself by being on the sidewalk and being clearly different and more lively than the bench in the background. It seems to be standing at an entry point asking if I would like to experience his world. Also this environment seems very manmade and unlike a natural park. The domestication of the outdoors and nature itself may also be an underlying message when it comes to the bench. Bench is a manmade familiarity that can be put into environments to make humans feel more comfortable in the surroundings of the woods.

After unsuccessful searches with different other metal detectors the dagger has been detected with the basic equipment of the 3d Earth Imager eXp incl. the GPR antenna 25 cm. Only the iron blade kept well preserved over all the long time the object was buried in the ground. There is only a small piece left which belongs to the wooden handle of the dagger. The exact place of this discovery is undisclosed. The dagger is of high historical value.
Gold seeker in Greece detects historic gold coins
A Greek gold prospector, metal detecting with Earth Imager eXp 4000, found several gold coins. He told us about his finding during a visit in our company along with his photos. He located the treasure in approx. 2 meters depth. These ancient coins are very precious, as confirmed by archaeologists. Near to the place of the buried gold coins he also located an ancient spearhead.
Gold bullions of the greek guerillas located - The lost gold of the guerillas
Some of our lucky customers found a wooden chest filled up with gold bars in Greece. Those bullions were buried during the World War II by Greek guerillas. The treasure hunters and archaeologists used different metal detectors and geophysical instruments like the Earth Imager eXp 3000, the predecessor of eXp 4000.

This great discovery was publicated in the Lost Treasure magazine, a famous american treasure hunting magazine. Here the article from the September 2006 issue of Lost Treasure Magazine:
This discovery has also been reported in the Dutch treasure hunter magazine. Here the article:
Historical tomb of shepherd discovered in Iran
Also in the beginning of 2008 satisfied customers inform us about their new discoveries with one of our metal detectors. An old grave including human remains together with some copper rings, and valuable historical goat or sheep bells has been detected in Iran by using the Future 2005 and gold detector eXp 4000.
The grave, probably the tomb of a shepherd, including its valuable objects has been located in a depth of 210 cm in clay soil. The ancient bells with sizes 10 cm, 12 cm, 15 cm length and 6 cm, 9 cm, 13 cm width show different forms and unique structures. Each bell includes 1, 2 or 3 small balls who create the pleasant sound when ringing the bell. In former times bells were hung on goats or sheep to keep evil spirits away, so does inhabitants tell.

Wine bottles from 17th century excavated
Various bottles which has been located at the coast of Suriname.
Bottles found with 3d ground scanner eXp 4000
Some of the located bottles dated on 1620 - 1715.
The small team of treasure hunters found more than 200 bottles with eXp 4000.
They probably located a secret pirate camp while scanning with the 3d ground scanner eXp 4000. The treasure site was hidden about 150 meters from the coast line. On the camp site there were charred wood and also rocks who surrounded ancient fire places. Along with the bottles they found a Spanish silver sword and old silver coins.

Accessories of eXp 4000
The geophysical instrument exp 4000 comes with many optional connectible probes and accessories. So it is possible to select the accessories you like to get your individual package with optimal performances. You can compose for example your ultimate treasure hunting package, your specialized cave detection package or others. Or you can optimize the metal detector in accordance to your searching area (flat ground, uneven ground, mountains, beach, jungle, urban terrain etc.). Here you can find some short info about each detecting probe.
GPR antennas (25cm, 50cm, 75cm, 100cm)
Scan the underground and get a 3d image!
These horizontal gpr antennas can be used for ground scanning in different areas to locate metals, voids or water. They has to be connected to the metal detector main unit and are used in the Ground Scan mode to receive a 3d image of the underground. The gpr probes are available in different sizes which optimize scanning in different conditions. The gpr antenna 25cm is specially interesting for searchers who have to scan areas with difficult access like for example in the mountains or in the jungle, where are many bushes, stones or trees. This smallest antenna can be used for a detailed research and mostly used to detect small objects like gold or silver coins, rings, gold nuggets etc. The scanning process is longer because of the small sized antenna and the small area it covers, but very suitable to search in difficult terrain. This probe is included in the basic package of eXp 4000.
The gpr antenna 50cm is a compact scan probe suitable for nearly all measurement procedures. The larger gpr antennas with a length of 75 and 100 cm are used to scan large areas and flat ground, to get a fast overview about the complete terrain.
DDV system (antenna for metal discrimination)
Discriminate accurately metal targets!
The DDV system is a visual metal detector system to discriminate between different materials. This antenna for metal discrimination can be used to find out if there is iron, aluminium, gold or silver situated under the ground. You can adjust the discriminator of the DDV system to certain metals or to filter out non valuable metals which you don't like to detect. Than the metal detector coil will only react on the selected metal. For example it can be adjusted on gold to filter out other materials like iron. This probe is specially interesting for gold seekers and prospectors.
This powerful metal detector is useful to avoid digging for non-precious metals or other material which you are not looking for. So you can find quickly your treasure. The metal detector find the targets and give the information via a audible sound over the headphones and also visually via the monitor of the eXp 4000.
Technical characteristics of the DDV system:
|Operating temperature
|Storage temperature
|Air humidity
5 % – 75 %
|Dimensions (H x W x D)
20 x 14 x 6 cm
|Diameter of coil
22 cm
about 2,1 kg
Antenna for tunnel detection
Locate underground chambers or hidden rooms!
This probe is a high resolution sensor which is focused on the research and detection of hidden voids like tunnels, rooms, chests, tombs, graves and others. You can receive a 3d underground image with this antenna, where voids are represented in particularly and with high resolution. Metals will also be visible in the scan image, but are not the main focus of this sensor.
The antenna for tunnel detection is a 50cm vertical probe which can be carried in the hand. So it is very practicable in various terrains also in uneven grounds. The small size allows an accurate pinpointing of the exact position of a located underground anomaly.
The antenna for tunnel detection is a must for all seekers who wants to look for cavities, bunkers, tunnel systems, tumulus, tombs and graves, treasure chambers, chests, boxes or non-metallic targets like vases or hollow-ware.
- Specialized on detection of voids
- High resolution probe
- Lightweight, easy to use and comfortable on-site
- Dimensions: 50 x 10 x 10 cm
- 2 years warranty
Super sensor
Deep search of precious metals!
The Super sensor is a multi task sensor which can be used in the operating modes Magnetometer, Ground Scan and Discrimination. The Super sensor can be used for high resolution ground scans (3d images) and for discriminating between ferrous (e.g. steel, iron) and non-ferrous metals (e.g. gold, silver) in high depth. This one meter vertical probe is specialized on detecting precious metals and can locate small sized metals deeper than the gpr probes. Also it can discriminate between precious metals (e.g. gold, silver) and ferrous metals (iron) deeper than the DDV system, to avoid useless diggings in high depth. Because of the integrated sensor technology it offers good results even in hard, salty or mineralized soils.
This one meter vertical probe can be hold in your hand easily and so is easily usable in areas with difficult access (bushes, trees, rocks) or uneven ground (stones, holes in the ground).
The Super sensor is an absolute must for all professional treasure hunters and gold seekers.
The Super Sensor has an integrated discrimination possibility to discriminate ferrous and non-ferrous metals. No other metal detector can keep up with the Super Sensors depth penetration. A discrimination control prevents the user from digging out undesirable items like nails, cans or other trash.
- Detects metals and voids
- High resolution scans
- Specialized on detection of metallic targets
- Discrimination possibility of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and cavities in combination with the software Visualizer 3D
- Lightweight
- Easy, comfortable handling
- Dimensions: 100 x 10 x 10 cm
- 2 years warranty
Long Range Locator with infra-red laser pointer!
The Thermoscan is a long range locator which recognize differences of temperatures on the surface of the ground. Due to this infra-red measurement it is possible to locate voids like tunnels, treasure chambers, bunkers or caves under the ground.
Combined with the metal detector eXp 4000 the Thermoscan can make a 3d image of a special area, without the need to walk over this specific area. The device works contact-less and therefore a field can also be researched from far distances. So it is possible to scan rock faces, walls or other terrains to which you do not have any access. This is an important advantage if the field is impassable by the searcher.
Possible applications are:
- the detection of cavities (graves, tombs, chambers, chests, bunkers, tunnels, vases, hollow-ware ...),
- the visualization of the distribution of temperatures as well as
- the measurement of differences in temperatures.
The FS-Thermoscan stands up for its practicable usage and compact design. Create high resolution 3d graphics of the underground by measuring the differences in temperature on the surface of the ground.
Because of the integrated laser pointer pinpointed measurements and accurate positioning of hidden voids are possible.
VLF emitter system (4 pieces)
(not available anymore)
Get the best results and the deepest penetration into the ground!
The VLF emitters can be placed on each corner of your scan area to improve the 3d image and receive the maximum possible penetration depth. So it is possible to locate small metallic objects deeper under the ground than without using these emitters. Additionally this system improves your scan result. All located metals under the ground will be visible more clearly in the three-dimensional graphic.
VLF is the shortcut for Very Low Frequency which is a low wave frequency range. Usual VLF (Emitter) devices use a frequency in this range to send out an alternating magnetic field into the ground, which can be disturbed by a metallic target. This disturbance of the magnetic field can be analysed in detail and so it is possible to make a conclusion to targets situated under the surface.
The figure on the left side shows a located metallic target without using VLF emitters. The structure of the object is destroyed and not very accurate.
The figure on the right side shows the same measurement while using VLF emitters. The shape of the located target looks much clearer, also the background is straightened.
Advantages of the usage with FS Future Series
VLF emitters are optional available components which can be used to improve a measurement with the metal detecting device eXp 4000. VLF emitters send out very low frequencies to reinforce the magnetic field. Because of this amplification anomalies of the underground like metallic targets (gold, silver, copper etc.) becomes better visible
The 3d image of the underground becomes more clear than without using the VLF emitters. So you can better recognize the shape and structure of buried treasures.
One set of VLF emitters consists of 4 emitter sets with sending antenna which have to be placed on the ground, in every corner of your measuring area. Remove the antenna of every VLF emitter and place it on the ground in a distance of about 50 cm from the emitter main unit. Adjust every emitter to your current ground conditions and power it on. Now measure your area with the metal detecting instrument eXp 4000 in operating mode Ground Scan like usual.
Technical characteristics of VLF emitters:
|Operating temperature
|Storage temperature
|Air humidity
5 % – 75 %
|Dimensions (H x W x D)
25 x 22 x 17 cm
about 7,4 kg (one emitter)
|Frequency Range
7 kHz - 60 kHz
|Amplified Output Power
|Internal Battery
|Operating Time (full charged battery)
about 3 hours
|Charging Time
about 10 hours
|Maximal Sphere of Action
about 10 m
Operating modes
Here you can find a short explanation about all operating modes of metal detector eXp 4000.

Hey everyone! If, like me, you are currently trying to wrestle your way through one of the worst travel days in the USA, I wish you the very best of luck. If you are not, congratulations, and I hope your day is wonderful, and not full of overcrowded train cars and smashed toes.
- A 72-year-old grandfather, Liu Xianping, is modeling for his grandaughter's online clothing boutique for women, and the Internet is falling for him. I confess, I'm kind of falling for him too. Here's what he says in the article:
Why unacceptable (for someone like me to wear women's clothes ? Modeling for the store is helping my granddaughter and I have nothing to lose. We were very happy on the day of the shooting. I'm very old and all that I care about is to be happy[.]
- Saint Harridan is a new clothing company that wants to make beautiful suits and accessories for people whose bodies aren't typically associate with suits*. They describe themselves as "challeng[ing] culturally conventional gender roles through innovative, stylish and empowering apparel and accessories." Their blog and explanation of their choice of name are both worth reading. They are launching a Kickstarter in 2 days! And having a model contest right now. I am definitely getting on board with their Kickstarter and cannot wait to see what they do next.
- V magazine has released a few interesting shots of a gender-bent themed editorial photographed by Nick Knight for their "Girl Power" issue:
- A recent Photoshop contest invited people to "change the gender of celebrities". Almost every entry is just about changing the clothing the celebrity is wearing, though some go further and do body alterations and such. It heavily relies upon prescribed gender performances, though I found it a fun page to scroll through while trying to think of the people there from a more gender-fluid perspective. (With a couple of exceptions toward the bottom that are incredibly bad Photshopping, as well as an unfortunate race-bending version of Taylor Lautner).
- If you just want to spend some time laughing today, might I suggest this amazing photo series of haughty chickens.
- And finally, I'll leave with this 1920s photo of Betty Karrenbauer, a German flapper who clearly loved to dress up. Earrings plus lace plus suit for the win.
What have you been reading lately?
*ETA on 11.25.12: I struggled with the right way to express Saint Harridan's intended audience, in part because the company itself doesn't ever lay it out exactly. I originally used the term "female-bodied" here because that is one of several terms they have been using, but had another Genderplayful member point out that was not the right term to be inclusive to some trans* folks who are also interested in their clothes. To that member, thank you for the correction! To anyone who may have felt excluded by my choice of terms, my sincere apologies. And to all of you: how would you say this?

Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Characters: Damon, Rebekah (Damon/Rebekah, references to Damon/Elena)
Words / Rating: 1,800 words / M for sexual themes
Spoilers: 3x09
Summary: In which Damon is a gracious host. Or something.
A/N: for catteo, who gave me a lovely prompt that I did not at all meet. MY SINCERE APOLOGIES. Hope this suffices instead.
"You know what? We should fuck."
There's no show about it, no simpering or waggling eyebrows. The suggestion is almost bored.
She appraises him from the table. "What makes you think I'd have any interest in that?"
Damon shrugs, a loose up-and-down motion. "You're here. I'm here."
"Mmm. Is your reasoning always this elegant?"
His eyes do something that can only be described as twinkling. "Well, if you want, I can woo you."
Rebekah pours another glass of his bourbon. "I remember your wooing efforts." Strolls over to sit beside him on the couch with the bottle. "They ended with my skewer through your gut."
He pouts a little. Looks a bit like a demented child. "You're a little bit mean, aren't you." He takes the bottle out of her hand.
"You're a first-class jerk, from what I hear."
He tilts his bottle in her direction. "Hey, don't forget who un-daggered you."
"I'm so grateful." She swishes the amber liquid around in the cut glass. "I suppose you'd like me to fellate for you now."
A twitch of his mouth. "Can't say I'd turn the offer down."
"Of course not." She examines her nails. "But won't Elena be jealous?"
He blinks. Frowns.
She smirks. His blankness is just shy of adorable. "Oh, but wait." She leans toward him. "Perhaps that's the idea."
"That's not the idea," he says irritably.
"No?" She rolls her eyes, slumps back against the cushions. "How dreadfully dull."
He shakes his head. "Whatever." Rises up off the couch. "I'm going out."
She tilts her head up at him. "Half a point for a half-hearted effort."
He hovers, appearing undecided as to what to say. Finally he says nothing and leaves her to herself.
She sips from her glass, glad to be alone. She's truly growing tired of Salvatore men and their indecisiveness.
It's a dull day. She finds herself wandering to the school. Call it nostalgia. She watches cheerleading practice happening on the field, finds it rather pathetic, now that she's on the sidelines. They're no good without me, of course, Rebekah thinks. (There's no place for me, of course, she thinks.)
"Whatcha doing here?"
She turns. "Damon." Rolls her eyes. "Are you stalking me now?"
"Don't flatter yourself, honey," he says, with no real bite. He's all jet-black hair and leather on a bright green, sunny field. "I'm here for Elena."
"Of course you are," Rebekah says, already bored of the conversation. Elena, Elena, Elena, she thinks. (Backstabber, she thinks.) Before them, a girl is in the process of climbing on top of another girl's shoulders. "Well, go on then."
He doesn't. "Ah, team spirit." Shoots an appreciative look at the cluster of cheerleaders on the field. "Nothing like it."
"You would know." She's not sure what she means by it, hasn't known him for long enough. But it seems as good a response as any.
On the field, the shoulder-climbing girl suddenly topples over, bringing three others down with her.
Damon crosses his arms. "I know why you're here."
Rebekah treats him to her coolest gaze. "Oh?"
"Yep," he says simply. "You don't fool me."
The unwelcome buzz of irritation rises up inside her. "Is there something you especially want? Or is yapping nonsense just what you do for amusement?"
Whatever smarmy thing he's about to say is interrupted by a yell.
They both swivel in the direction of Elena, who's making her way toward them with a look of disgruntled impatience.
Rebekah resists the urge to roll her eyes again. "It's your charge." She turns her gaze back to the field, where the cheerleaders are clumsily attempting a pyramid. "Best run along now."
"Damon, you were supposed to meet me in the parking lot," Elena grouses, drawing closer. "This isn't the parking lot."
"Yeaaaaah," Damon says noncommittally. "Got distracted."
Elena makes an annoyed sound in the back of her throat. "Rebekah," she says, in an altogether different tone. "What are you doing here? Are you okay?"
Rebekah says nothing.
"She's fine," Damon says, offhand. "She's swell. Come on, I'll take you home."
Rebekah doesn't look at either of them. She stands, as rigid as a post, and waits for their bickering to fade into the distance.
On the field, girls who look exactly her age make a perfect pyramid.
"I'm taking you out," Damon announces.
Rebekah looks up from the magazine article offering her tips on 'how to keep your man'. "What?"
"Well, you've been screwing around this place for a week drinking all my liquor. I figured you might wanna do that somewhere more exciting."
A flurry of panic starts up somewhere in her stomach.
He wants to make me be around people, Rebekah thinks. Being back in a coffin for another eighty years would be a more appealing prospect.
She turns back to her magazine, says in a calm voice, "I'm not interested in going anywhere with you."
"Oh, come on," he says with no real impatience. "Enough with this self-imposed isolation. You're nearly as mopey as my brother."
She looks at him.
He blinks. Looks away. Clears his throat. "Come on, I'll make it worth your while."
She raises an eyebrow. "I'm not going to sleep with you."
He rolls his eyes. "Been there, had that conversation, sweetheart."
"Then what?" she asks, trying not to sound curious.
He tilts his head toward the door, an almost friendly gesture. "I'll show you."
He takes her to a cabaret bar.
It's ridiculous, of course. She wants to hate him, but some part of her is almost touched. (The same part that wants to spend her days doing gymnastics with people a thousand years her junior, she supposes.)
"Nothing like what you're used to, I'm sure," Damon says. "But still."
Rebekah says nothing. The place is tacky at best, but bursting and straining with crude life, the kind she used to love to coax away to dark corners and feast from as brass instruments would crescendo.
She supposes this is what nostalgia feels like.
"Come on." Damon guides her through the crowd, a hand resting lightly on her shoulder blade.
She can't think of anything else to do, so she follows his lead.
Some hours later, the room is spinning pleasantly to the pulsating of a bass drum. The scent of the human blood surrounding them is intoxicating—but in the best sort of way, the sort where she's forgotten what everything else feels like.
"Mmm. Why didn't I do this before?" Rebekah muses as she swirls absinthe around in her glass.
"What? Come out with me?" Damon responds, his eyes doing their trademark clownish dance. In more sober moments she'd find it irritating; tonight, however, it's endearing.
"Hmm." Taking a long swallow from her glass, she ponders. "Why are you doing this anyway?"
"Doing what?" he yells above the noise, leaning in.
"Being nice to me."
"I can be nice," he protests, a child imploring for a treat.
She plays with a maraschino cherry. "Not from what I'm told."
"Yeah, well," he says, the picture of blasé, "you shouldn't rely on what people say about me. I'm the one who puts words in their mouths."
She narrows her eyes. "Where's Elena?"
He takes a swallow from his bottle. "With her brother. Why?"
"Well, there had to be a reason you're here with me."
He spreads his hands. "I'm being a good host! And anyway, it's not like my life consists of one person." The words are a little too rushed and earnest to be anything other than drunkenly defensive.
Rebekah smirks. "Of course not."
He sits back then, surveying her. "Guess you'd know about that, huh."
And a heavy weight settles in her chest. Suddenly the bar seems to shrink around her; the sounds of life and laughter dim, and all she can hear is a shrill ringing.
"Hey," Damon says then, leaning forward. "Sorry. Not cool. Forget I said that." He sits up, gesturing to a waitress carrying a tray. Plucks off a tall glass of bubbling green liquid. Pushes it towards Rebekah. "Here ya go, have this."
She stares at the green cocktail. Suddenly it seems wholly unappetizing. And yet, somehow, still not as unappealing as the alternative. She briskly takes hold of the glass and puts it to her lips.
From across the table, Damon watches her carefully.
It's almost dawn by the time they're back. The boarding house is huge and empty, so silent that Rebekah is overcome with the urge to laugh loudly, hear her own voice echo off the walls and fill up the space. It makes her smile wide.
Damon shoots her a curious look. "Something funny?"
I must look an idiot, she thinks. (I haven't looked this happy in decades, she thinks.) "Nothing at all."
Damon shakes his head, starts heading toward the stairs.
She's in front of him in a blink. Shoves him bodily against the wall, and pins him there by the shoulders. He has a half-second of surprise, which melts away into smug understanding.
"Damon?" she says, whispers almost.
"Yeah?" he says, voice equally soft.
She fingers his collar. "What shall we do now?"
He lets out a puff of air from between his lips. Grasps the back of her neck. Smiles wryly, and leans in.
She stops him with a finger to his lips. "Tell me why we should do this."
He blinks, blue eyes glassy and vacant. "Because you want to fuck me."
She shakes her head, slowly, deliberately, like a governess schooling an insolent pupil. "Try that again."
He regards her, the corner of his mouth turning up in recognition. "Because I want to fuck you."
She narrows her eyes. "Say it like you mean it."
He makes a sound that's something like a growl, and roughly switches their positions. Trapping her against the wall with his hips, he leans in until their foreheads are touching. "Rebekah?"
She meets his gaze steadily. Bunches her fingers in his collar.
"I want," he goes on, drawing the syllables out, voice low and just shy of dangerous, "to fuck you."
She smiles mildly. "That wasn't so hard, was it?"
And then his mouth is on hers, irate and impatient; their teeth clack rudely together.
It occurs to her that if this were anyone else, it would be graceless and unflattering. But he has reclaimed every unflattering meaning for himself, she thinks. (He must mean every word that he says, she thinks.) The tang of envy rests, sharp and bitter, at the back of her throat.
She curls her starved fingers into his hair and pulls.

"Your cake will get eaten, your flowers won't last forever, your dress will be carefully put away in storage ... and memories fade... however, what you will have to remind you of your once in a lifetime day are the photos of all these things. Your investment in my photography will bring the day back to life for you, and ensure your future generations admire how wonderful your day was!"
Each wedding is a totally unique occasion, which is why I love each and every wedding I shoot! You will have your own ideas of what you'd like included in your wedding day photography investment and this is why I'd love to discuss your wedding day plans personally with you - very informally over a coffee and maybe even a cake - so we can work out a tailor made package according to your budget (we can Skype if meeting in person isn't do-able).
My pricing starts at £700 for 5 hours "peak season" coverage and I'm happy to negotiate bespoke prices depending on what you'd like covered!
* * *
My wedding packages include:
* A no obligation, relaxed chat about your plans
* A complimentary on location engagement shoot with my full day package (this includes a few little extras as well!)
* A pre wedding plans check before the big day.
* A visit to your venue to ensure I'm totally familiar with it before your wedding day
* An online, password protected client gallery for viewing and sharing your images - you'll get individually edited photos showing the story of your day (around 800 for a full day)
* A slideshow of your images via your online gallery
* A beautifully presented USB with all the full resolution images from your online gallery with a print licence.
* Photography by a fully insured, creative, experienced, professional photographer along with guidance and support before and after your wedding.
* All time and cost incurred for editing, travel, meetings, etc.
* * *
I only book in 20 full day weddings a year to ensure that each and every wedding gets the personal touch and editing time it needs from me, therefore my diary gets full very quickly!
All dates are booked on a first come, first served basis and your date isn't guaranteed until I've received a signed copy of your contract, along with the non refundable booking fee.
I'd love to have a chat to work something out that specifically suits your budget, so please give me a call, drop me a line via my contact form (or email me at email@example.com) and I'll get back to you ASAP!
I have two children myself and having photographed them, literally, many thousands of times over the years as they've grown up - I know how lovely it is to look back on those photos as they've grown!
Family and lifestyle shoots take place on location, at any time of the year and are a very relaxed and fun occasion, resulting in tangible memories that will be treasured for years to come!

Paco, the un-chihuahua Chihuahua-Adopted
This little three-year old boy has quite a personally!
His foster writes: Paco is a litter pad trained and does not really go out. He has been with us, our dogs and cat.
So if you were to ask me if he was truly good with any of those I am not sure how I would answer because I only know how he is with us and our animals. He has had no real exposure to the "real" world.
He is nothing like a nasty nippy chi. He is sweet and loves to snuggle and play with his toys. Loves to sleep in his bed all snuggled up. He loves certain toys and bones and loves fetch.
He is a sable long hair and really beautiful. I had several people want to take him, but I honestly never found a good match in Ocala. Then we moved and that is where it is today. He is fully vetted, all shots up to date and has been on interceptor and comfortis.
Paco's photo album can be viewed on Facebook.
January 24th Update:
Everything is going great with Paco. He is such a little lover and so sweet he could give you a cavity. He follows me everywhere I go in the house and he loves to go for a ride in the car. He is very well behaved and gets a lot of attention anywhere we go. Our kitty (Itty Bitty) loves him and if he whines she comes looking for him to see what is wrong. He has settled right into his new home and his true personality is shinning through. He is so funny when he goes running through the house after Itty Bitty (she is 10 lbs and he is less than 5) and is figuring out all her hiding places. I got him a new bed and he really likes it but sleeps with me every night. Cyndy thank you so very much for taking care of Paco and allowing us to adopt him. At this point I could not imagine not having him and he has been a wonderful addition to our little family.

Well its pretty evident that the Fall is on our doorstep. Whenever the seasons change we tend to want to shake up our wardrobes and of course our makeup. There are some pretty standard pieces of advice that you'll likely get about the seasonal makeup shake up. For example, switch from shimmer to matte, wear darker lip colors, change from a powder to a liquid foundation. I personally have found that there are some makeup products that you can wear regardless of the season. They're kind of like those staple wardrobe pieces in your closet. So here are my go to makeup products that I stick to season in and out. In this post I'll focus on the products for your face. In Part 2 we'll talk about my go to products for your brows and eyes. In both parts I will give you simple suggestions to jazz up your makeup for the season change.
Concealer: I'll admit, its very rare that I wear foundation. I probably wear foundation less then a handful/month. However, what I do wear regularly is a good quality concealer. You see, a concealer in reality is a less watered down foundation, however, the right formula of a concealer will make all the difference.
My go to concealer is MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade NW20. What I like about it is that it does come in a liquid form so its easy to blend out. The coverage is terrific and you can control how much or how little coverage you need. I apply this concealer with a Beauty Blender (if you don't know what it is, its a big pink sponge that you wet in water before using). The end result is skin that looks flawless, there isn't any feeling of a heavy makeup on your face, and a little pump of the product goes a long way! I have family members and friends using this instead of a foundation now and they love, love , LOVE it.
Powder: To set my concealer (that means to make sure that your makeup stays on your face for a long period of time) I use a powder from the Sephora Collection. The powder is called Sephora Collection MicroSmooth Baked Foundation Powder. I'm using the color Nude. Don't let the word Foundation fool you. While you can wear this powder on its own its still fine enough to be used as a fabulous setting powder. Its a fairly new find for me (about 6 months) and I'm on my second compact so far. The other aspect of this powder that I appreciate is that it works on a multitude of different skin tones. This is good news for anyone who is a makeup artist and is looking to add a versatile product to their kit.
Bronzer: The next product that I'll talk about is a bronzer. My go to summer/winter/fall/spring bronzer is MAC Bronzing Powder in the color Matte Bronze. Why is it awesome? Because its matte. That means a plethora of things! In the summer when I might have a bit more color then usual I can use this matte product on its own to intensify the look of my tan. In the Fall/Winter/Spring when my tan has long since faded I can use this product as a contouring powder (contouring is a technique that allows you to reshape your face and make it appear slimmer and more defined). The color is on a cooler side which is great news because it doesn't show up orange on my skin. Lastly, when I'm feeling crunched for time and I need to add a little something to my eyes this bronzer can double as a perfect nude/beige eye shadow.
Your Fall Face Accessory: What I do recommend is switching up your blush color. There's such an array of blushes out there that picking just one to wear all year around wouldn't be fair. In the summer I choose blushes with a bit more peach colors to them, in the Fall/Winter my go to blush is MAC Powder Blush in the color Dame. For me its the perfect pink.
These are my go to basics that I return to each and every time. What about you? Do you have a makeup favorite that you stick to through rain or shine? Let me know in the comments below this blog post.
If you aren't a regular makeup wearer I also want to hear from you – are you going to step out of comfort zone and try one of these out? Leave a comment and let me know! I'll give you a hint, powder is the one thing that you can't screw up so that might be a good starting point.
Thank you very much for reading and sharing. Please feel free to forward this blog post to anyone who's looking for ideas of how to be smart about transitioning their makeup from summer to fall and how they can have some fun with it.

LAS VEGAS, NV – March 6, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Track officials today announced a three-year agreement naming VP Racing Fuels the Official Fuel of The Strip, The Bullring and The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, as well as the LVMS road course, beginning in 2010.

Motorola's Modernizer
CEO Zander Shakes Up VPs, Pushes Cool Phones and Vows To Leave Rivals in the Dust
In recent years, Motorola Inc. had reason to be prouder of its past than its present.
The company, based in Schaumburg, Ill., built some of the first car radios, provided walkie-talkies for U.S. soldiers in World War II, enabled astronauts on the moon to talk to earth and led the development of cellphones. In 1996, when it introduced the hugely popular StarTAC cellphone, Motorola controlled more than half the global cellphone market....

This past weekend while I was at the Christmas Open house, which by the way went very well, Craig went up to the attic and gathered ALL the totes that I store my Christmas decorations in. For those of you who don't know, I love and I mean LOVE to decorate Christmas trees. As a matter of fact it was my job before I had a husband and kids. I was a visual merchandiser for a department store. With that being said I DO know that I can go a bit overboard according to normal standards. It doesn't seem like a chore or work to me so I don't mind and Craig doesn't seem to care. As long as I'm not hammering nails in his wall! As a matter of fact he was very helpful this year.
Two years ago this December we moved in to our current home. It was December 8th and the second (clothes were first) thing I unpacked was our Christmas decorations. I had two trees up, decorated and ready to greet our neighbors as they stopped by to welcome us to the neighborhood. Last year I had one fully decorated tree and two pencil trees with lights. This year I've added another tree. Because our family room is very open I've added a 9ft slimline tree. I am adding the wreaths to the outside windows and another to our garage door, decorating the mantle, hang the stocking and then I'm done!!!! That's right, Done!!!
I have 2 decorated trees, 2 pencil trees, wreaths on the double doors, snowmen on the buffet and gifts wrapped and under the trees. And all this BEFORE Thanksgiving! I'll share photos of the decorations soon. Start decorating.
Post a comment with a link to your decorations so we can see your Christmas Spirit!

A Burst of Spring
Spring has sprung on Mars, bringing with it the disappearance of carbon dioxide ice (dry ice) that covers the north polar sand dunes. In spring, the sublimation of the ice (going directly from ice to gas) causes a host of uniquely Martian phenomena. In this image streaks of dark basaltic sand have been carried from below the ice layer to form fan-shaped deposits on top of the seasonal ice. The similarity in the directions of the fans suggests that they formed at the same time, when the wind direction and speed was the same. They often form along the boundary between the dune and the surface below.

Credit: NASAUpon completion of assembly later this year, the station's crew and its U.S., European, Japanese and Russian laboratory facilities will expand the pace of space-based research to unprecedented levels. Nearly 150 experiments are currently under way on the station, and more than 400 experiments have been conducted since research began nine years ago. These experiments already are leading to advances in the fight against food poisoning, new methods for delivering medicine to cancer cells and the development of more capable engines and materials for use on Earth and in space. The international partner agencies provide crew members, control centers and support teams that train and provide uninterrupted support for systems operations and coordinate the on-orbit research. The station has a mass of almost 800,000 pounds and a habitable volume of more than 12,000 cubic feet – approximately the size of a five-bedroom home, and uses state-of-the-art systems to generate solar electricity, recycle nearly 85 percent of its water and generate much of its own oxygen supply. Nearly 190 humans have visited the space station, which is now supporting its 23rd resident crew. Boeing, prime contractor, responsible for design, development, construction and integration of the ISS, recently handed over the "keys" to the station's U.S. On-Orbit Segment to NASA at the conclusion of an Acceptance Review Board that verified the delivery, assembly, integration and activation of all hardware and software required by contract.

Crew Members Prep for Undocking, Future Arrivals

Soaring high over the Earth in the International Space Station, the astronauts and cosmonauts of the Expedition 22 crew began a new week Monday, the final week in space for two of their number. Commander Jeff Williams and Flight Engineer Maxim Suraev will depart the station Thursday aboard the Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft. They will undock from the orbiting complex and take a three-and-a-half-hour ride that will culminate in a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan early that morning. Williams and Suraev began their final week in orbit by testing the Soyuz spacecraft's motion control system and recharging the satellite telephone they will carry with them in the unlikely event that they land off course in the barren landing region and need to contact search and recovery forces. They also spent three hours going over procedures for their homeward flight with specialists on the ground. As members of the Expedition 21 and 22 crews, Williams and Suraev will have spent 169 days in space. Including his time on the Expedition 13 and STS-101 crews, this will give Williams a total of 362 days in space, placing him fourth on the all-time U.S. list of space travelers behind Peggy Whitson with 377 days, Mike Foale with 374 and Mike Fincke with 366. Williams will be 26th on the all-time endurance list for all space travelers. Expedition 22 Flight Engineers Soichi Noguchi, T.J. Creamer and Oleg Kotov will continue their stay on the station becoming the new Expedition 23 crew. Kotov will become the new station commander when the departing Williams enters the Soyuz vehicle and closes the hatch. On April 4, Expedition 23 will expand to a six-member crew. Arriving in the Soyuz TMA-18 spacecraft will be new station crew members Alexander Skvortsov, Tracy Caldwell Dyson and Mikhail Kornienko. On April 7, space shuttle Discovery is scheduled to arrive for a thirteen day mission to supply the station with new science racks and ammonia tanks. STS-131 will feature three spacewalks and the delivery of the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module. In preparation for the joint spacewalks to be performed during STS-131, Creamer and Noguchi packed up equipment for Discovery to return to Earth and Noguchi performed maintenance on the cooling loops in the U.S. spacesuits housed in the station's Quest airlock. Controllers on the ground operated Canadarm2, the station's robotic arm, to remove the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator, known as Dextre, from the Mobile Base System (MBS) on the complex's truss structure. Tuesday they will move it to the outside of the Destiny laboratory in order to make the MBS available for use during STS-131.
Regulation 15(2) of the regulation denotes that a person who contravenes this regulation commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding three hundred thousand ringgit (RM 300,000.00) or to imprisonment for a term of not exceeding three years or to both.

- Abstract
Multi-unit auctions are sometimes plagued by the so-called exposure problem. In this paper, we analyze a simple game called the 'chopstick auction' in which bidders are confronted with the exposure problem. We analyze the chopstick auction with incomplete information both in theory and in a laboratory experiment. In theory, the chopstick auction has an efficient equilibrium and is revenue equivalent with the second-price sealed-bid auction in which the exposure problem is not present. In the experiment, however, we find that the chopstick auction is slightly less efficient but yields far more revenue than the second-price sealed-bid auction and that it yields more [the same] revenue if bidders are inexperienced [experienced].
