Lilith pages: You hear Lil saying, "Who is it?"
Lilith pages: …oh. Please, come in."
You push open the door to the private apartment and enter
Lilith is sitting at her desk when the man enters, just now laying her pen down and rising to her feet. She looks in considerably better shape then before. Happy, even. Her cheeks are slightly flushed, eyes bright, a smile that's only partially fading on her face, being replaced with a slow wariness. She slides the gun that was in her hand back under it's hiding place of papers. "Nice to see you again, sir."
He steps inside, then closes the door behind himself, making sure it latches. "I want to talk to you. I want to talk to you seriously. I want you to be free, and speak frankly. Nothing you say in this room, right now, is going to make me angry and I left my jell rounds in the truck." A slight smile. "I should not have shot your hand this morning. I did that from frustration, from anger. it wasn't right."
Lilith watches with more wariness, nodding slowly. "It's…all right. Well, it still *hurts*, but I'm a mouthy bitch and I asked for it. I'm not learning my lesson and keeping my big mouth shut." She nods to sitting area, moving to the kitchen. "Can I get you anything?"
Johny shakes his head. "I want to discuss why it happened. Not just my action, but why in the moment, I felt that it was a justified action. This is not an isolated issue, but a frustration I feel reflected in the team as a whole. And I need to talk to you about it."
Lilith pauses, and then moves back into the main room. "What's wrong?" The good mood she was in keeps her up, but it's fading fast. She speaks quietly. "You maybe worry we don't work together well enough? Lack of discipline?"
Johny shakes his head as he moves after her, putting a hand to her shoulder. "Lil." he says simply. "It's not a lack of discipline. I have no doubt you can follow orders. It's a lack of forethought. The Mask. The Trees. Other little things. They are very very frustrating, because it makes us, and I use this term to reflect an opinion greater than my own, feel like you don't think about what you do, or care about what happens. We, and I use this term to reflect an opinion greater than my own… love you. But we are concerned."
Lilith eyes widen, marginally, at the touch and the words. She looks like she's ready to take a step back, surprised at the words but not really, her face smoothing over as best she's able. "I'm not sure what to say to that." She murmurs. "The only rationale…"
He cuts her off… "Don't do that. Don't do that to me, Lilith. Don't you shut down, don't you hide yourself. Be here, be now, and be what you feel."'.
Lilith is shocked, this time. The soft, happy, new emotions she felt earlier were still bubbling below the surface, causing trouble, causing confusion with the shock and wariness. "I am here, I'm very much now, and…" she does step back, face losing some of her composure with a flash of anger. "I was trying to find a sensible way to speak, instead of being that raving fool I've so often slipped into. Quite frankly? No, I don't care for myself very often. I simply don't. I'm not suicidal, nor am I depressed. I'm not bloody used to being cared for and quite frankly, if today is any bloody indication you've got a bloody funny way of showing that…loving concern you speak of." She snaps her mouth shut, keeping her short temper under wraps. "I barely know how to care about others as it is. It's new, it's weird, it's shocking, and while I try and try it always goes bloody bollix up."
Johny draws down to sit on the floor. Just right there in the middle of it. "Come on down here, Kiddo." he says quietly. "We're… a group of misfits. Losers. The Psychologically fragile. Weirdos. People who just dont' fit in, in our real lives. Orphans, ghosts, the emotionally damaged. We're not perfect, and despite my protestations otherwise, Lil.. I'm not either."
Lilith crosses her arms. Kiddo? She looks like a sulk is threatening, before she gracefully sinks down, modestly holding her skirt in place with her good hand. "I knew *that*."
"What can I do." Asks Johny… "To help you? I know what its like to look down at a child in your arms and -know-… that you helped make it… but feel absolutely nothing for it. To see it as just another alien thing… another prop in a strange play."
Lilith face goes very, very carefully blank at that point. "I…" She closes her eyes, her jaw tightens. "I don't know, Samuel. I don't. I don't know what's wrong with me, if anything. I don't know that you've done anything wrong, to this point it's been the way I am." She opens her eyes again and they're gleaming, but she's doing her best.
Lilith says "I…don't know what I need. I simply amble along in life. With my collections, with my books, learning as I go and enjoying the work I do, quite often. I've never thought I needed more then that. And now…now someone offers to help and I can't think of the first bloody place to start.""
Johny nods slowly. He settles back on his ass, pulling the knees up to lean on them. "Thats the problem a lot of people have." A pause. You don't have any goals. You don't know what you want. You see something shiney… and you want it. you see something compelling and you make it part of yourself until you see something else compelling, where in you abandon what you had… and become someone new."
Lilith watches him, eyes tight. "Maybe." She croaks, then coughs and looks away to catch her breath. "Perhaps. One could say that of course I have a goal to live for now. That I have friends and family and loved ones to give my life added meaning and purpose." She looks back to him. "I've been meandering, and this is the first time I've found myself with some kind of purpose, with this Mission I've become a part of. What I do in it…seems less important then just doing it, right now."
"The Mission… cannot consume you. You cannot live your life in fear of the Mission. Kassandra and Ally grounded me recently, doing for me much what I'm doing now for you. Slapping you in the face with the reality that you're human, and so is everyone else. We love you, and we care about you, but you are making that exceedingly hard with attitudes and actions you are taking as a result of your -fear-."
Lilith looses that gleam in her eyes. For anger, again. "Fear? I'm not bloody afraid of it." She says this very calmly. "Since when does it seem that I'm afraid?"
He quirks an eyebrow, just looking at her.
Lilith looks back. "What?" She shrugs. "I might be afraid of something, but it's not the Mission itself."
"And thats why I think you're terrified of it." He leans forward, to be only a few inches from her. "Because I've seen the worst humanity can do to itself. I've been the worst humanity can do to itself. I've been in the maw of the beast. And that? Doesnt' scare me. The mission.. terrifies me."
Lilith tries to keep from leaning back, and succeeds, but barely. She takes a slow breath. "Why?"
"Why? You've seen whats out there. What wants to come across. I've been to a place where the entire world is fixated on it. I've seen what happens when they come, and I sit here, in my home, every day, trying to figure out how to delay them. A minute. AN hour. A day. So that every man woman and child on this damn planet, and possibly beyond, can draw one more breath of freedom, of an existence that is not defined by pain, by hiding, and by watching every mote of the world they and eleven thousand years of their ancestors worked to build."
Now things start to sink in. Lilith draws back from him, legs curling up under herself in an almost protective motion. "I didn't know. Not at first. Then I saw pictures…of Chicago. Then I saw that…thing, so many months ago." She looks up, tenously, desperately, holding on to herself. "It's easier to turn off then to let that affect you. It's easier to pretend something isn't that bad because then you can cope. And humans are so very, very could at pretending." She clenches a fist. "If something doesn't exist, it can't hurt you…or if it doesn't exist, it can't be hurt."
"I know. But you can't pretend with us." Says the man then, settling back now. He looks up at the ceiling, staring at light fixtures. "You can't. Even I can't, and honey.. I've been pretending longer than your mother has been alive." A pause. "In the end, it pushes away those who want to care about you, and it alienates you from those who need to work with you. It makes you an alien in the world, and we can't afford that. Everything you do seems geared to attracting, or repelling. I would lay good money the mask thing… was designed subconsciosuly to provoke a response from me. That the Rabbit thing was to provoke a response from Kassandra and Ally, whom you knew would respond poorly and be unable to directly address it. The Tree thing was to provoke another response from those around you. You may not be consciously doing it, But you are provoking responses."
"Just not the ones you consciously want."
Lilith blinks at that. "I don't *have* a mother." She shakes her head. "And honestly, I wasn't trying to provoke anyone. Unconciously or not, I *know* that. The Mask…it just didn't…that was just a mistake, and I *was* afraid when I found out what I had done. Which is the last thing I would've wanted. The rabbit…I didn't realize they'd take offense at first, and yes, I was teasing them a little after, but I didn't know they took it so seriously." She settles back on her haunches with a shaky sigh. "And the tree? I regret to say I didn't think twice about it. A tree is just…a tree to some people. But I'm still sorry about it."
"You say that. But your track record is one of provoking responses from others. This is your modus operandi. You get bored, you lack something, you want something… and then you -do- something. Like go on a mission and recover an artifact you know is affecting you and not report it immediately. You bring Kassandr anad Ally and you force THEM to respond to YOU."
Lilith clenches her fist. "Could it be that it was simply I didn't think? I don't *like* provoking people. I don't *like* getting yelled at or shot or having my friends shake their heads and get so worried. Why the hell would I do that deliberately. I never forced the ladies to anything" She scowls, pointing at the door. "I've got a world of people in this house to keep me busy. Men. Women. The girls. If I'm *bored*, I go trawling for punters or seduce some sorry corp boy downstairs. I wouldn't do that to my friends."
"Lilith." Says Johny then. "I would prefer to think that you are doing these things with a purpose, than to think you are simply irresponsible and unable to change."
Lilith snaps her mouth shut for a moment. She glares at him, then looks away.
"If I have a purpose for it…then I wish I knew…"
"You vacillate. You move from here, to there. People call you on behavior, then you spend a week or so being overly apologetic and contrite, then you go back to acting in the fashions that frustrate. I want to break that cycle, and so I'm approaching you directly. I want you to be comfortable, and know that I'm your fucking -family-. Not just going to throw you out in the street."
Lilith crosses her arms again, hugging herself and not looking at him. She's struggling. Keep calm, keep cool, or crack, or do neither, or…or… "I wouldn't think you'd do that." She murmurs. "I…you've offered to help before. Advice. Training. But I'm stubborn as a mule and have the attention and common sense of a gnat. And it doesn't work, as you've said." She begins to work her gaze back to him. She takes a deep breath. She wavers. "This…this is really hard, Samuel. I want to say…something, but it's so very, very hard. And I don't know what…what it is I'm admitting to."
Johny puts one hand on her forearm, then gives it a squeeze. "Say it… and we'll figure out what it is.. later."
Lilith bites her lip, raising hesitant eyes to him. She's…opening, it seems, but her face is still guarded, letting him look through the window instead of opening the door. "I don't know what I am. Nothing. I awake at night, in the deep hours, or in my dreams, and I feel…conflicted. Torn, like somethings tugging me back and forth and I don't know why and it's so damn confusing!" She takes a deep, shaking breath. "In the past…I just though it was dreams. Trauma from bad times. It makes sense. But now it's getting worse, ever since I came to Denver. I used to be…it. I was a courtesan. I never made mistakes." She meets his eyes, and her own are…shaken. "Now you speak of me acting unconsciously or consciously, you all try to help me, and in those deep hours I start to wonder…maybe it's not the obvious answer. Maybe there's something wrong that I truly don't know about."
Johny thinks that over. "Unlikely, Lilith. And even if you have a genetic disposition to some behavior… -choice- is the halmark of humanity. You made mistakes; they just didn't matter enough. You didn't let people close. You had such a rotating cast of supporting characters in the Lilith show.. You never had the issue of people trying to know you and know you consistently, an act that your shift, your chameleon, makes impossible."
Lilith hugs herself again, looking unsure for once. "So am I lost, then? As much as I try to fit…to bend, to grow, to change, as much and as badly as I want to, I can never keep my footing on solid ground." She rubs the back of her neck. "More often then not I feel two people looking out. One is just there, looking, watching, unfeeling, doing what she must because that's what the second part of her tells her is the right thing. And the second one, the hidden one, is too guarded and too scared and doesn't want to come out." She murmurs, almost to herself. "How am I supposed to break that?"
"Honey." he says, looking over to her. "You're the only one who can. The only one who can choose to change. Trust me, I know all about this. It's about setting your sights on the distance, and consciously thinking about the actions you take; how do they fit in to it? We are today, the sum of all the choices we have made yesterday. Tomorrow, we will be the choices we make today."
"Who will you be, Lilith?"
Lilith looks back to the bossman. To Samuel. To Johny. To the first man she learned to respect. "Myself, if nothing else. A complete self." She sighs and hugs her knees. "Beyond that? I just want to…work. I want to stop wavering so much, acting like such a fool. I don't know what or how specifically I fit in this team…I just want to be able to do whatever I am told to do well, to be able to be the kind of fighter, runner, that this Mission needs."
"You know how you fit in?" He asks, standing up and moving over near her.
Lilith can't help it, and scoots back a little on her knees. "I…thought I…not really. I usually feel like I'm on the fringes. Everyone else has known each other for so long, is so much closer, feels so much more like this family you talk about, that I feel very much the outsider. Other then with work."
Johny kneels down next to Lilith. "I met Kassandra after you. Ally met her after you met her. I met Jamilih not long ago… It's nothing to do with lenght of time. It's to do with.. how close you let people. It's a matter of how you handle your relationships."
Lilith nods…slowly. But she's tensing, not permitting him that closeness. "I…don't understand them very well. I can feel things, yes, but I don't always understand you all. Why you act silly, why you don't, why certain things matter. I'm trying, but…it's taking so long."
Johny nods, not quite pressing. "Keep trying." he says then, settling back down. "One thing you can do is stop trying to dominate a situation to feel.. comfortable, in control. Try to actively relax and just -be-."
Lilith nods slowly again, watching him. "All right." She begins to loosen as he backs away, and also looks decently embarrassed. "That's a very…naughty habit I never realized extended into my social reactions so obviously."
Johny watches her. "No. It's pretty obvious to every one. It can be very frustrating. That doesn't mean go visit someone tomorrow then sit there; but just try… -being-. Spend some time out at the vault enjoying it. I'll teach you how to ride, if you want."
Lilith looks embarrassed again. "I…yes. I know." She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. "How can I be like this…" She looks back at him, with the offer, and…no. No, it's too obvious and it's too late and this is entirely the wrong time for a pun. "That would be nice. I'
Lilith looks embarrassed again. "I…yes. I know." She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. "How can I be like this…" She looks back at him, with the offer, and…no. No, it's too obvious and it's too late and this is entirely the wrong time for a pun. "That would be nice. I'm something of a natural."
Too late.
Johny just utterly misses the ennuendo. "Well. Lets do that. Remember that you don't need to be -in control- with your family,
Lilith." he says quietly. "I do have a question."
Lilith nods. "Yes?"
"Is that your real name?"
Well. That was unexpected.
She looks up at him. Her face isn't blank, it's just…she's just not sure what to feel at this point. "No." For starters. "Teresa. Abbey gave it."
Johny nods to the woman. "Hi. I'm Samuel. Samuel Thayer." He says, offering a bit of a smile. "At least, I think. But for all that matters; thats who I am."
Lilith nods. She doesn't smile. That name…that name was not, has not been a part of her for the better part of 13 years. "Teresa, of Buckfast Abbey." Again, a distant, but not cold look. Maybe a ghost of a smile. "I think. It was a start."
He nods then. "You need to find out who you are, Lilith, before you can be someone who you want to be. For me, it became a challenge of -making- who I was, then becoming who I wanted to be."
Lilith stretches out her legs. "And how'm I supposed to do that?" She finally chuckles, sadly at that. "My whole life I've known precisely where I was and what I was doing, with no mysteries, no secrets. How can I create something from nothing?"
"Because there's not nothing there." He says simply. "Everyone has a story. It's clear from your lack of direction, that you havn't read yours yet."
Lilith frowns slightly, brow wrinkling with concentration. "I…" She stops, thinks again, then shakes her head. "I don't understand."
"Have you ever read a book where the Author doesn't know their own characters?"
Lilith wrinkles her brow again, looking curious. "One, I think. Why?"
"Book sucked, didn't it?"
Lilith eyes widen a bit as something clicks. "Ohhhh." She snaps her fingers. "I've read more then one, I think. The characters get away from the author."
Johny nods…. "Character wanders all over, latching on to whatever the author was thinking about or reading when that chapter was written. One paragraph is noir… one is pulp, another still is Jane Austin."
Lilith nods, watching him. "It could get a little odd…" She shifts, looking vaguely uncomfortable. "Are you comparing my life to a poorly written novella?"
He shakes his head. "Of course not; we are real people, not just characters on the page. At least, I hope to god not. I'd like to strangle the author."
Lilith bites back a sudden laugh. She nods. "So, what's the point, aside from some esoteric, existential murderous desire to slaughter some form of creator?"
"That you are your own author. And you don't know your character."
Lilith frowns, and then rubs her temples again. "I just…I'm sorry! I don't quite understand. But I think…I think I've got to find myself, yes, I'm not sure how. And I've got to write my own story."
Johny nods. "Choose who you want to be Lilith." He says, standing up and stretching. "It's important to know who you want to be."
Lilith nods slowly, still frowning, but not precisely in a bad way. "Aye, Samuel." She rises as well, working out the kinks as she goes from kneeling in one spot for so long. And she sighs. "What the hell. Maybe I'll tackle the practical side of the matter and try to find the bastard who'd thought it'd be good to dump a 3 to 5 month old baby on the steps of a orphanage in the middle of October in bleedin' Dartmoor." She sighs again, looks at him, and smiles. "Thank you, all the same."
Johny offers a hand to Lilith, held forward.
Lilith reaches out and takes it, smiling still, a bit. "You've…there are no words, Samuel."
Johny takes her hand, pulling her in to a hug, his arms siding around her. "Shush." he says, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Just shush."
Lilith stiffens immediately at the sudden movement. Without warning, her eyes well up, her fists clench. She mumbles something…nothing…and then slowly, slowly relaxes. Closing her eyes, resting her head, and accepting it.

Hundreds of thousands of pounds in bonuses may be repaid
Carillion's former directors may come under pressure to repay hundreds of thousands of pounds in bonuses if they are found guilty of misconduct or misstatement of the failed construction company's accounts.
A parliamentary hearing into the collapse of Carillion heard that Richard Howson, the former chief executive, received cash bonuses totalling £540,000 last year and the year before. During the same two years, Richard Adam, the former finance director, received £355,000.
Asked by Frank Field, the select committee co-chairman, whether they were prepared to return their bonuses, Mr Howson said: "If the process decides that I should not have been paid them, then I will abide by that." Mr Adam said: "I need to understand what the position is."

CPP Appreciates High Voter Turnout Rate
The Cambodian People's Party (CPP) has expressed its appreciation for the turnout rate for the Sunday's 6th National Election.
CPP is pleased to learn that a provisional announcement by the NEC (National Election Committee) of more than 82.17 percent of the registered voters has casted their ballots today to express their choice and will. The high voter turnout rate clearly illustrates the enthusiasm and political rights of the Cambodian people in strengthening a multi-party democracy, said the ruling party in its statement released yesterday evening.
The CPP firmly believes that multi-party democracy is the foundation of sustainable peace and development, it underlined. We wish to commend the National Election Committee for its services and professionalism in organising a free, fair, and transparent general election.
CPP also congratulated all Cambodians who voted yesterday in sustaining a multi-party political system in Cambodia.
We are grateful to the local and international election observers from NGOs, INGOs, international political organisations from 52 countries around the world, who have come here to witness a genuine democracy in Cambodia, concluded the statement.
Cambodia organised the 6th general elections on July 29 in the 22,967 polling stations throughout the country with the participation of 20 political parties that competed for the 125 National Assembly seats.

I have always been fascinated by butterflies. The words that come to mind when I think of them are metamorphosis, transformation, change and evolution which is a true representation of life. It might sound a bit superstitious but for as long as I can remember every time I spot a butterfly something magical happens. And by magical I mean it usually ends up to be a pretty good day. Although nowadays it has become quite hard to spot one maybe because of climate change.
A few days before my 26th birthday I decided to get a butterfly tattoo. A lot had happened throughout the year and I felt like I was evolving because I had gone through and learnt so much. It was a reminder of what I had gone through and who I was working towards being. I felt like I was breaking free from all the fear and the things that held me back.But it all didn't happen in day. I went through what I have come to know as The Butterfly Effect.
It is said that a butterfly can flap its wings in Brazil and set off a tornado in Texas and that ladies and gentlemen is what is referred to as The Butterfly Effect. The notion that small changes can have a huge unrelated impact is something to ponder about. Your choices today impact your tomorrow. Even the tiniest decision affects your life, the life of those around you and the world at large. The butterfly effect has a ripple effect to it.
Every choice comes with its own consequence that not only affect you but also others. So before opting to sleep for those extra minutes think about the impact it that will have on your life. If you decide to skip on that work out day it might be the thing that affects your health.
So strive as much as possible to incorporate positive habits in your health, happiness, finances, relationships, careers and impact on the world. The butterfly effect can be either good or detrimental. The choice is in your hands.

The red headed trickster of the Gods. Loki has the smarts to maipulate and cause things to work in his favor...most of the time.
He's always sarcastic and hard headed at times. Once again based on which I find fits most from auditions. Any accent can be used.
(Slightly sarcastic) Our luck you say? Well do you even remember what happened? Or has being Mortal put your mind in a daze?
(Very Tired, Aggravated, Trying to make a point,Sore.)
Oh just shut up and find me some ice would you? And I'm not your brother. We've established that ever since Odin brought me to your keep. We are acquaintances….nothing more...nothing less

The thick skulled God of Thunder. Thor is mostly brawn than brain.
He Very Authoritative voice. This is solely based on which voice fits to me after auditions. Any accent can be used.
Once again, NOT MARVEL.
(About to reveal a secret that is embarrassing. Very Cocky as if grinning.)
Oh trust me Loki, I remember quite clearly… in fact, as I recall... I don't think even Corina knows what had happened right before we were outcast down here. Does she?"
(Snarky, Rude) Save yourself while you can Madam, it will not end good for you if you mettle in the affairs of this god.
(Retorting, Aggravated, snappy) Why would you care Loki? Why would YOU care for a Royal that is basically as pathetic as those human creatures on Midgard?

You wouldn't expect something like this from none other than the Trickster himself of course
No really! Thor was dressed like a bride....Yeah I know we aren't allowed to talk about it, but how can you not when it was so funny!

Below is what we know about how soaps will be effected for Former First Lady Nancy Reagan's funeral on Friday, March, 2016. The service is to begin at 2 pm ET.
ABC: "General Hospital" isn't going to be on Friday, March 11, 2016. GH will be back as normal on Monday. Nothing will be skipped as the funeral should last all afternoon. This information was mentioned on ABC World News Tonight.
CBS: According to "The Orlando Sentinel", none of their programming will be preempted. "The Young and the Restless" and "The Bold and the Beautiful" will be on as normally scheduled and the funeral will only be seen on CBSN or their streaming site.
NBC: "Days of Our Lives" won't be on in certain areas. Check your with your local station. Early airings on Days were on as normal, but later showings were not. NBC affiliate WMCA mentions a full preemption in their area.
To read more about the funeral itself check out this pdf. A musical prelude is to begin 45 minutes before the service, but it looks like that may not air. The Reagan Foundation has a whole section about everything having to do with the event, which is linked here.
This blog is mainly about soaps, though it will sometimes veer into other topics. The main purpose is to provide a space for when board discussion isn't enough as sometimes my thoughts and feelings take on a life of their own. Even if some of the shows I enjoy have been cancelled, I will continue to post about them. They may take away the shows, but they can't destroy the love.

Ingredients: Coconut nectar, matcha green tea, natural vanilla flavouring
I think that this is an excellent way to introduce someone gently in to the world of matcha.
It is incredibly mild; a very gentle flavour of matcha, sweetened slightly with some creamy hint of vanilla.
I was expecting something rather potent, in both the matcha and vanilla categories, but was pleasantly surprised.
The flavour is almost spot-on to matcha pocky!
I think that next time I will be using a little bit more powder so I can get more flavour.
It's a bit bland in a regular serving for someone who really enjoys regular matcha.
Short and sweet.
I was able to write a hot tea review because I woke up insanely early, so it is not yet blistering hot outside.
I've been sticking mostly to water the last two weeks.
I promise to try harder. I have some birthday money to spend on some o DT's new iced tea flavours.
I'm pretty excited for electric lemonade!
Happy Steeping,

Guys it's ViNs, Today I am here to
introduce a new Android app which is must for CS and IT students to deal with binary numbers.
It is developed by our Team member Chahat who works as a Android Developer in our Vinstechs Team
Binary operations have always been a tricky task for anyone who comes to face it, be it an assembly language expert or a first semester computer science student.
Ank: Complete Binary Solutions is a new app which has recently been released on the Google Play Store by our Android developer. This app has got a good number of feedbacks and appreciations from the tech group including students, teachers and even pro developers.
This app has a completely new concept for students learning computer science. It provides solutions to complex questions with a click. This is the app which deals with the headache every CS student face in the very first semester and throughout their studies: BINARIES!The main features of this app includes:
- Conversion of binaries, octal, decimal and hexadecimal values from one another with detailed solution, as someone solves it with a pen and paper!
- Translation from text to binary and vice versa, which also comes with speech to text option. One can use this feature without even touching his phone!
- Keeps record of all the conversions, calculations and translations you make, so you don't need to mess up to look back.
Another thing is, that this app is self-sufficient with logics and all the features are completely offline.
Talking to the developer of the believe corp, we came to know that the app will get updates in every few weeks and will be able to do more unique tasks no one has ever did.
You can download this app from play store. Click here to Download from play store.

The falcons with their distinctive sound have been active in my area lately. The webcam watching them went up yesterday http://www.peregrinefund.org/falconcam/ and I like to check it out several times a day.
For the last nine years they've been nesting on a tenth story ledge that mimics the cliffs they use in the wild. Last year all four chicks survived which isn't always what happens in the heart of downtown. Learning to fly is a challenge as there are buildings and electrical wires to crash into. While the young birds are learning to hunt, the rest of the bird population, whose songs I so enjoy now, get wiped out in the area around me.
It's rewarding to have a bit of the wild in this area and these odd-looking birds have a lot of fans around here. The sound for the webcam will be up soon (a lot of sirens will be heard) and it requires a plug-in easily downloaded. I'll remind you all of it when the first egg is laid.

I installed them on my driveshaft last May and have been holding fine for the last 3k miles

Order directly from them and you'll get a lifetime warranty. Give Dave a call next Monday. After the purchase you'll get an email purchase confirmation with the USPS priority tracking #
Well they ship their parts out quickly, I had it in 2 days. Thanks again for the recommendation John.
Finally had a chance this morning to tackle this relatively easy job. I'm gettin really good at removing P2 driveshafts. If anyone in the area needs work involving driveshaft removal I've got it down to about 20 minutes! The hardest part was getting the new boot to not spin around when I was trying to tighten the SS ziptie.
Anyhow, no lifetime warranty offered any longer, musta been a promo thing they were doing. I truly doubt I'll have to replace this CVJ on this car again, very low probability of failure on fronts and rears. That being said, the original boot type seal rear of the joint capsule can and does take a beating from the heat coming off the cat, but the boot that comes with the Colorado Driveshaft kit does seem very substantive.
There is a pinhole on the front (and rear) cap that you can inject grease into with a needle fitting for your grease gun. Let that grease gun sit out in the hot sun for a while!

Las Vegas is an entertainment hot spot whether you are in search of cool shows, concerts, gambling or bars. If you are visiting Las Vegas for your wedding or honeymoon, you want to spend time together and enjoying the city.
Many sports loving couples are looking for a great Las Vegas Sports Bar to take in the game. While you may want to see the sights around Las Vegas, missing the game isn't something you want to do. If this is your first time in Las Vegas, you might not have found the ideal spot to spend a game day with your love.
Qualities to Look for In a Great Sports Bar
Before we get into specific bars you should look into when you are in Las Vegas, let's look at some qualities you should look for when you are considering visiting a sports bar.
Your Team Is Playing
While you can enjoy a sports bar without your team being on the big screen, you do want to be able to see your team's game. Make sure you know that your team is playing before you go all of the ways to the venue to find out they are watching other games but not yours.
Great Beverages
Basic beverages are fine if that is what you want, but if you are looking for more, that could be a problem. You should check the drink list before you visit to make sure it fits what you want out of beverages at a sports bar.
Great Food
Burgers, fries and chicken wings can be tasty, but you might want to add a little extra taste to your experience. If the sports bar you are visiting has a very limited menu, you and your partner might find what you want on the menu. Check online to see if the venue you are visiting has the meals that you want.
An Amazing Atmosphere
When you go to a sports bar, you want to feel at home. You are going to be spending quite some time watching the game, after all, so you don't want to feel rushed or out of place. Going to a sports bar allows you to connect with other people and enjoy good times with fans of your team. If everything else is a little less than dazzling, a great atmosphere can make up for it.
Now that you know the qualities to look for in a sports bar let's go on to the list of sports bars you and your sweetheart should check out while in Las Vegas.
1) The Still
The Still is in the heart of the Mirage. It is a serious man cave, but you and your sweetheart can enjoy it together. There is a strong focus on craft beer and cocktails, but they don't skimp on their food game either. There are 27 TVs and 8,000 square foot of space for cheering for your team.
You can go to the busy center bar that has over 50 craft beers. You will also enjoy Bud Bud's which is a refurbished Airstream trailer. It was found in Tennessee and has been turned into a fully functioning kitchen. The cuisine offered is upscale bar food.
2) Beer Park by Budweiser
Located in the Paris hotel, you'll find plenty of beer, food, and cocktails at Beer Park. There is beer for days, and you can get many different brews at a good price when you visit Beer Park. Look at their event's calendar to find out what is happening this week, but game watch parties are common.
If you want to have a little extra fun with your love, there are plenty of games that you can play while you are there as well. Check out the available games and enjoy!
3) Born & Raised
Born & Raised is a self-proclaim bar by the people and for the people venue. They say that they've created the bar with the customer's every need in mind.
This official Golden Knight's bar offers a beverage program with a wide variety of craft and draft beer, specialty cocktails, an elevated wine list. Everything is mixed with fresh ingredients. The food in the bar is made from scratch.
There are two locations of Born & Raised in the Las Vegas area so make a note of whether you are going to the Las Vegas or the Henderson location.
4) Time-Out Sports Bar & Grill
Time-Out Sports Bar & Grill gives a hard focus to the gambler and prides itself on paying out big cash. The happy hour makes getting a good drink affordable for two. Their menu isn't massive, but there are still enough tasty menu items that patrons are happy to enjoy them during the game.
5) Four Kegs Sports Bar
Four Kegs Sports Bar prides themselves on being a great place to view the game over a drink and some delicious grub or just coming to have a good time. Their staff is trained to be friendly and fast. There are often festivities happening at the sports bar so make sure that you look at the calendar of events to see what is happening.
There are a lot of great options for sports bars when you are in Las Vegas. If you just walked the strip, you could find many sports bars that are glad to have your business. The ones above are great picks for you and your lover when you visit Las Vegas. Enjoy your trip!

Mobile phone tariff analyst company Billmonitor has produced a report that details monthly mobile phone contract payers waste a figure equal to £4.899 billion, each year, in wasted minutes, text and data allowances.
Billmonitor was founded by mathematicians in oxford and is an independent service that helps mobile phone users save money with its bill analysis, along with being the UK's only Ofcom accredited mobile price comparison service.
The report lists 76-percent of UK mobile subscribers are wasting on average £194.71 a month, which is the equivalent to 44% of the whole mobile revenue from over 25 million mobile post-pay customers.
These figures were analysed from 28,417 mobile phone bills, using statistical analysis implemented by the Billmonitor team that includes Professor Chris Holmes and Dr Nicolai Meinshausen from Oxford University.
The wasted amount is defined by the difference between how much a customer could be paying on the right contract, compared with what they are actually paying.
The 'right contract' is simply a tariff that includes bundles and best matches how a customer uses their phone; in other words, the right contract is one where a customer pays no more than they should.
Billmonitor's report shows that 52-percent of customers are wasting money on a tariff that are too large for them, using on average just one quarter of their monthly calling allowance – with a total waste of £2.62 billion.
29-percent of customers are wasting money on a tariff too small for them, whilst using up money on out of allowance calls, texts, data usage as well as other costs that could be reduced with a larger tariff – with a total waste of £1.53 billion
And lastly, 19-percent have the right level of inclusive minutes but are wasting money by not optimising free benefits, data and text allowances as well as other costs, or taking advantage of lower costs on 24 month contracts – with a total waste of £0.74 billion.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – It has never been easy for Democrat Annette Taddeo.
Being a winning politician proved to be elusive as she'd never won in several local or state wide races.
But she's now a winner, defeating Republican State Rep. Jose Felix Diaz in a hard fought state senate campaign.
"I kept saying I can't believe it, I can't believe it," Taddeo said. "Very exciting. Very exciting, but at the same time humbling."
Some are saying the democrat's win is impressive because it was as though she was running against republican President Donald Trump.
"We did and we did not," Taddeo said. "There are clear differences in nastiness. It is not ok to demean people, to say things that are demeaning of minorities or women. We also ran against the fact instead of working with each other to make health care better, they want to take it away."
Taddeo will be one of 16 democrats in the state senate that includes twenty three republicans.
She says she is willing work across the aisle, but what about her agenda?
"Freezing money going from public schools to for-profit private schools," she said. "I think we need to stop that and I think that was a strong message with this campaign. That was a big issue, fighting for public education."

TAMPA, FL (RNN/CNN) - Five children were injured in a crash at a Florida school bus stop Thursday.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that all five were taken to a nearby hospital. One of the kids is in critical condition, said a Tampa police spokesperson told WFLA.
All of the children involved were waiting for their bus to take them to a K-8 school. Three of the children are 6 years old; the other children are 9 and 12.
The adults were identified as 31-year-old Yanley Jurado and 32-year-old Laura Patino Chavez, according to WFLA.
The driver of the grey Ford Focus stopped a block away from the accident and spoke to police. He hasn't been charged.
Witnesses told the The Tampa Bay Times that the children typically walk to the bus stop together. Two of the victims are sisters.
The Tampa Bay Times reported a Tampa Fire Rescue truck driving to the scene also crashed with another vehicle. Three people from that collision were taken to a hospital.

Harley-Davidson ambassador Nathan Hindmarsh will join fellow NSW Blues legends Brad Fittler, Steve Menzies and Danny Buderus in a 20-strong convoy riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles over 4,000km in 11 days to raise awareness and funds for Father Chris Riley's Youth Off The Streets.
The ride kicks off today, February 17 from Fraser Motorcycles Concord, with the boys making 14 stops, travelling to Bathurst, Orange, Wagga Wagga, Tumut, Jindabyne, Canberra, Dubbo, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and more.
The Origin greats will set up rugby league clinics, attend local league tournaments including three all-girl nines tournaments, and give away 3,000 footballs to girls and boys.
The team has also committed to help the town of Walgett re-turf an entire Rugby League pitch, with almost $150,000 in materials and labour being donated.
Adam Wright, spokesperson for Harley-Davidson Australia and New Zealand said "we are extremely proud to continue our commitment to The Hogs For The Homeless tour.
"Working alongside some of the biggest names in Rugby League, we have recognised what can be achieved by coming together, and the impact that we have already received over the past five years.
"It is a rewarding program for our dealers and all those involved."
Members of the public can support Youth off the Streets by purchasing raffle tickets, with proceeds going directly to Father Riley's worth charity.
H-D has provided number of raffle prizes including a Harley Davidson XL1200 CX Roadster (value $19,495), a State of Origin experience for four people at Game Two on Wednesday, 21 June, 2017 (value $6,000), and a signed 2017 VB Blues Jumper.
Since its inception in 2013, Hogs For The Homeless has engaged with local communities across NSW to promote and raise awareness of youth homelessness throughout Australia.
Harley-Davidson has also provided each member of the twenty all-star line up a Harley-Davidson motorcycle for the journey.
To date, Hogs For The Homeless has raised more than $450,000 for Youth Off The Streets, the charity supporting young people who are homeless, drug dependent and recovering from abuse.

Yet another woman comes forward with allegation against former President Bush
Yet another woman comes forward with allegation against former President Bush
Yet another woman came forward to allege that she had been touched inappropriately by former President George HW Bush. It need be recalled that three women have already come out in public with their allegations against former President George Bush senior.
The woman identified as Amanda Staples, on Friday, posted a photo on Instagram of her with the 93-year-old former leader taken in 2006 when she was running as a Republican for a seat in the Maine State Senate, reports an international media outlet.
"Bush grabbed my butt and joked saying 'Oh, I'm not that President'," Staples captioned her Instagram post.
Asked on Friday to respond to Staples's allegation, which predates Bush's use of a wheelchair, spokesman for the former President Jim McGrath, reiterated a statement from Wednesday night: "To anyone he has offended, President Bush most sincerely apologizes."
After the second allegation on Wednesday, Bush's office released the statement offering an apology.
"At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures.
"To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke – and on occasion, he has patted women's rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologises most sincerely," it added.
The accusations came to light on Tuesday when actress Heather Lind accused Bush of touching her inappropriately in 2014.

Join Dave Crenshaw for an in-depth discussion in this video Celebrating your success, part of Achieving Your Goals.
As you begin taking action on the smaller targets that you've set, occasionally you'll fail, but most often, you'll succeed. In those moments of success, it's critical for you to acknowledge and celebrate that success, including making a record of it. Earlier, I mentioned how the brain is likely to give you many logical, justifiable reasons why you're not going to succeed. By recording and celebrating your successes, you're reinforcing to your mind that you actually have many more reasons you will succeed than you will fail.
The process is much simpler than you may think. It starts whenever you think you might not follow through on an action for yourself. For instance, let's say that I set my alarm to wake me up at 6 o'clock to begin exercising, but when I wake up, I start to think, "Oh, I'm tired. I don't want to follow through on this." When this happens, immediately use the why-because pattern of question-and-answer. Ask yourself questions such as, "Why am I going to exercise this morning?" or "Why do I love exercising?" And then answer those with a because statement.
Because I love the feeling I get when I exercise. In his book, The Secret Code of Success, my friend Noah St. John refers to these why- because questions as afformations. These are different than affirmations, which are often hollow statements telling yourself that you're going to succeed, which your brain immediately fights. Instead, asking these why questions gives your mind an opportunity to logically create the reasons why you should succeed.
Now, when you do follow through on your goals, to any degree, make a record of it somewhere. This can be as simple as putting it into your journal, or having a chart that you check off on a daily basis. You can even send yourself an email saying "I did it today!" Then, archive the email. Make your record in a way that's convenient to you. This physical record shows your mind evidence that you are following through. This will go a long way toward combating those negative thoughts and replacing them with positive logic that shows evidence of your success.
Every time you recognize your success, you'll find it easier to follow through in the future because of the evidence you've built of past success. I also suggest that you share your success with others, especially those who you've made the public commitment to or who you've made yourself accountable to. As you share your successes, your supporters will celebrate with you and they'll be glad to see you succeed, again, reinforcing to your mind that you're going to accomplish your goals.
Finally, take a moment on a regular basis, perhaps once or twice a month, to give yourself a reward that's meaningful to you. It doesn't have to be large or expensive. Perhaps you get a new album of music that you've been wanting for a while, or you treat yourself to an evening out on the town with a loved one. Whatever is meaningful to you, give yourself credit for the success that you've had. As you do that, not only will you find it easier to progress toward your goal, but you'll also enjoy the journey that you follow in getting there.
And now we're ready to do the final step toward achieving your goals, which is reviewing your progress.
Along the way, discover the importance of celebrating successes and reviewing your progress in order to stay motivated and establish a pattern of successful goal setting.
- Creating a vision
- Dividing to conquer
- Processing into action
- Establishing accountability
- Tracking progress

Sony PS Vita Gets a Firmware Update in Japan
We very well know that many of the crazy gamers among our readers are anxiously waiting for the Sony PS Vita to debut in the US market. Since the launch is as close as February 22nd, we feel it is the apt time to tell you about the details of a new firmware update that hit the device in Japan.
The firmware update has given a bunch of noteworthy features to the PS Vita. It can now shoot MP4 video at 1.5 Mbps with a resolution of 640 x 480. The update also offers 128Kbps AAC audio recording support. Though it does not give the HD quality, MP4 being a quality video format and the high performance of the Sony camera sensors will jointly provide a high quality result.
The update also provides a new Content Manager Assistant app for Vita. It will help the user to run a system update and transfer and back up data between Vita and a computer.
Dubbed 1.60, the update also brings in Map Mode which is very comprehensive since it allows users to search for phone numbers and other details like addresses around a point on the map. It also allows users to share their geographical location with other friends through group messaging.
The update has brought in peculiar blinking lights to Vita. These lights point to the power status of the device through different colors. When the device is plugged in, it displays a constant blue light and it starts blinking faster if the device is in standby mode.
However, if the flashing blue is slower, it indicates an unread message. Solid orange light appears when the device is off and plugged in for charging. However, the flashing orange says the battery is down and will run out soon.
We think, the update will be a little different, at least with the map mode, when it hits the devices for the US market.

Zombies Set to Invade Landmark Lanes
Tonight, Landmark Lanes plays host to the DVD release party for Better Than Live, a condensed re-make of George Romero's 1968 thriller Night of the Living Dead. BTL includes all of the horror classic's highlights and is skillfully reenacted by a cast of…puppets?
Oh yes, puppets.
The 30-minute "zany funhouse ride," as the flier proclaims, is performed by a cast of "theater geeks, mad scientists, and drinking buddies," according to organizer Billy Ray Olsen. The movie is based on the Night of the Living Dead script and storyline, but takes a few liberties while adding little bits of silliness throughout.
Each puppet is operated by a black-clothed zombiteer, with one hand positioned on the puppet's head to control body movement and the other on the puppet's hand, which Olsen likened to bunraku, a traditional form of Japanese puppet theater.
"Part of the whole goal is that you can see the puppeteers– we're black-clad ninjas, but that's kind of the idea. There's a sense that this is a low-budget production, the idea that you can see the manipulation," says Olsen. "I don't want it to get too polished, because I think we'd lose some of the heart. There's a sloppy sort of charm that we've got," he adds.
But…why…why puppets?
"Puppets allow you to get away with saying anything … they really are a bridge between live theater, which is what I'm trying to get more people interested in, and film," says Olsen. "In live theater, you have to make the connections yourself, you don't have everything spelled out for you."
Several of the puppets (along with their human operators) will be on hand at the screening and after-party, along with famed horror host Dr. Ivan Cryptosis, the Wisconsin Historical Museum's curator of the macabre.
Angry Young Men Ltd., the name used for the group's productions, is "misleading," says Olsen, "because we're not particularly angry, we're not getting any younger, and half of the group is women. Really, it's more of a joke title." Originally used as a label for a group of British playwrights and novelists who were popular in the 1950's, the moniker later came to refer to young British writers who, as a group, were disillusioned with the traditions of English society.
"If you like fun, if you like horror movies, if you like puppets, if you just like drinking in public– it's going to be a great party," says Olsen.
Better than Live premieres tonight at Landmark Lanes, 2220 N. Farewell Avenue. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., film begins at 8 p.m. A $1 donation is suggested.

Yes, I have looked for and found fossils for
many years. When I was your age I used to go
fossil hunting all the time. I suggest you first
go to the Santa Barbara museum of natural history
and look at the local section of rocks. You can
see which units are fossilerous. Then you can buy
or find a geologic map of the area and it will
tell you what units contain fossils and it will
also show you where these fossil bearing units
outcrop. You also can go over to UCSB WEBB HALL
and look at the stratigraphic sections in the
display cases on the first floor of Webb Hall.
Finally, if you hike up towards Inspiration
Point , where the trail crosses the creek, you may
be able to get off the trail and walk up the
creek...keep an eye out for shell hash beds -these
are sedimentary layers with a high concentration
of broken up fossil mollusc shells.
Good luck. By the way, geologic maps of SB are
available through the UCSB library
I have found fossils many times! They are not
common in all rocks, but if you are in the right
place with the right rocks they can be very easy
to find. You should look in sedimentary rocks (not
igneous or metamorphic) --fortunately, many of the
rocks in Santa Barbara are sedimentary. I
strongly recommend going to the Santa Barbara
Natural History Museum to see their fossils (to
know what to look for) and to see where the
fossils have been collected from. The La Brea Tar
Pits in Los Angeles is even more stunning --it
has one of the best fossil mammal collections in
the country.
Pygmy mammoth fossils have been collected from
the Channel Islands, but those are very rare. The
Cuyama Valley Badlands in California are a rich
source of fossil horse and camels.
You are in luck in California, as there are may
fossil beds in the local area. Common fossils
found are sea shells and petrified wood fragments
such as cane. I have found fossil shells in the
San Rafael's and in wash basins of streams. The
easiest to find fossils are found in limestone or
sandstone sediment which can be identified by the
layered deposits. (The layers may not be
horizontal anymore!)
Check our local book stores for fossil finding
maps -- these may direct you to areas witch have
been well picked over, but you should look after a
rainstorm has brought new rocks to the surface.
There are a number of good field guides --
petersons, golden books and others. These are
useful to prevent you from over looking a
fossil... I found my first fossil in Colorado on a
bike trip (about a mile from my house) --
California is a great place for certain kinds of
fossils. If you want to be scientific, always map
and mark each find in your collection and
correlate them to geological maps (which often
date formations to geologic eras)...
Have fun!

- May 1, 2012 at 3:39 AM
It can be kind of hard to pinpoint, but for most bloggers I think the main reason I keep reading them is the feeling that I like them as people, that I'd enjoy spending time with them in real life. I don't read blogs particularly to learn things, although it goes without saying that I do learn a lot. I mainly read them to relate to people. I love your outlook on things and, while I'm not a Christian, I relate to a lot of what you say on all topics (G-d included). And I feel like we're friends. I don't know how that helps you move forward with this blog, but that's my perspective, anyway.
- May 1, 2012 at 9:52 AM
I keep coming back to your space because I know you. You write about things tha tug at my heart, things that allow me to see the space in which I live through different eyes. I come to your space because you are honest, emotional, and non-judgmental. I come to your space because I know that you are passionate about your love for Christ, your love for Matt and your children. Your blogs, also, allow me to keep in touch with you, your family, and what's going on in your world.

Before we actually met, I feel as if I came back to read your blog because your voice seemed sincere, you write well, and your life story (adoption, being born outside the US, and being a pastor's wife) is interesting.
Great summaries of all the girls who attended the meet-up, and I would like all of your readers who have never met you in real life to know that you are as sweet and sincere online as you are off!
- May 1, 2012 at 1:01 PM

Yes, to all those above. I come back to your blog because of YOU. You are honest, transparent, and I love reading your life (and you write it well).
- May 1, 2012 at 4:03 PM
This one is really easy for me.
I think you are a wonderfully gifted writer, and I love the way you THINK. When you put those two together, it automatically is the type of thing that I like to read.
Your perspective as a pastor's wife has been very valuable to me. It has helped me consider things that I might not have before. The wisdom that you have gained through your journey of motherhood just plain inspires me. I like both of those topics.
And OK, I admit it. I like Mommy blogs. I'm sort of "mom" now and miss being "mommy". When moms write about things like their son's teddy bear, it makes me feel good in my heart.
- May 1, 2012 at 6:42 PM
Thank you, Gaby, for your very sweet descriptions of all of us. It was such a pleasure to meet you, and I loved your gentle spirit and wisdom in the things you shared with us. I pray for continued favor and direction as you write; may the Lord use you to minister to others in a mighty way. Again, so wonderful to meet you! Have a wonderful week!

I enjoy coming to your blog for several reasons: 1) you're sincere, 2) you're encouraging, and 3) you write well. Keep it up!
I've been thinking about blogging lately... wondering about my scope, my significance, my traffic, etc. I LOVE writing and I LOVE being able to connect with others in an encouraging fashion. When I keep this in the forefront, I have such motivation to blog.
However, when I begin thinking about blogging in terms of traffic or building a platform for my upcoming book which is coming out in the fall, I waver. I recognize that it's fine to market and strategize, but it's not what I'm most comfortable with.
So glad that you were able to talk with other bloggers! Sounds wonderful!
- May 2, 2012 at 9:07 PM
FUN! I know you have already made up your mind, but I think your writing is beautiful just the way it is. KEEP GOING!

Gaby, it has been awhile since I have been online; life got overwhelming, unexpectedly crazy...so I am just now responding to this post even though there is a more recent post. One thing that I would love to see MORE of here...is you writing more often.
I love how someone else put it...i love the way you write and I love the way you think, therefore I love to read your unique perspective.
keep on, keeping on
- May 3, 2012 at 11:40 PM
I know I'm way behind on commenting, but I just wanted to say that I love how honest and real you are about your life and reading your blog is often refeshing and inspiring. Now that I have a little one, I especially enjoy your posts about being a mom! Don't change a thing!
