Les Ensembliers, a Montreal-based firm combining the services of an architectural firm, a design agency and a construction company, has added to its portfolio of high-end residential projects with the transformation of a Tudor mansion in Montreal's prestigious Westmount district.
Bringing the past into the present
The firm's most recent pièce de résistance involved a classical property distinguished by sophisticated architectural detail, both inside and out. Completed in 2014, Les Ensembliers transformed the multi-level Tudor home over a two-year period by revisiting every room, reworking original details and adding new details. Faced by the challenges of traditional Tudor architecture, including dark entrances and central staircases, Les Ensembliers embarked on a vision to establish wider, brighter and larger connections to the center of the house, without distracting from the architectural history.
After designing the Palm Beach home of the same client in a warm climate, the challenge for the firm was to transform an historic property into a fresh living space, creating new moods in a new climate and giving it a sense of collective pieces and flow. Being a home that will be lived in during colder seasons, the goal was to create a warm and cozy ambiance, without selling out to full-blown contemporary design.
"It's easy to paint out wood and to give it neutral colours, but this was an entirely different approach that was done piece by piece," explains Richard Ouellette, designer and founding partner of the globally-recognized firm. "With all of the trimmings and wood details, we decided to keep some, paint some, highlight some and mute some in order to ensure that the right details are featured and that others fall into a backdrop."
Contemporary Tudor
The firm's vision was to maintain the home's highlighted mouldings, wainscoting and ceilings, but to give it all better flow and connectivity. That process led to designing wider openings to bring more light into the home, while creating smoother connections between the rooms.
"Each project has a unique soul that has been created over time, so we wanted to maintain the integrity of the home's origins, while making it warmer, more inviting and more livable today," says Ouellette. "Our approach was to keep the historical elements, to build around them and to make them even stronger, essentially creating an historic backdrop to the story of how we live today."
Complementary strengths
The project drew upon the complementary strengths of Les Ensembliers' founding partners, Maxime Vandal and Richard Ouellette, who feel that they have created a home that is fresh and new, but with a truly historical feel to it. Vandal's expertise in 18th century architecture and construction was applied to the project in terms of ensuring the true meaning of proportions and methods in each room, while Ouellette's strength in décor provided the home with greater flow and space.
"With a true understanding of the historical aspects and a combined, evolving vision, we were able to apply the right skills to each room in order to blend 18th century and contemporary design," says Ouellette. "In the end, our complementary and shared skill sets combine to create stronger visions that can be taken to new heights."
About Les Ensembliers
When it comes to marrying the essential elements of historic and contemporary design, Les Ensembliers has earned a global reputation for their trademark ability to transform contrasting concepts into harmonious living spaces. The firm has been recognized through numerous awards and design accolades, including the 2010 Emeritus Heritage Award from the Montréal Architectural Heritage Campaign. The firm is regularly featured in the international press and has completed projects in Paris, Corsica, Palm Beach, Vancouver and Montreal.
With a vertical connection between architecture, design, construction and décor, the firm offers its clients complete integration via a one-stop shop. Les Ensembliers' consultative approach allows for client input, changes and modifications as a project unfolds, rather than having lines etched in stone from conceptualization.
"Every project is unique in its approach and vision," adds Ouellette. "While it becomes our vision, it always starts with the vision of the client and the question of how we can bring their dream to life and take it further down the road."

Unique Building Offers Modern Loft-Style Rental Residences, Outdoor Space And an Artist-Friendly Design to achieve LEED for Homes Platinum Certification
HOBOKEN, N.J. – Bijou Properties announced today the launch of Edge Lofts, a unique collection of 35 stylish rental residences located at 1405 Clinton Street on the north end of Hoboken.
The boutique six-story building features modern loft-style residences, a private garden terrace, a smoke-free environment, artist gallery space and an abundance of "green" features that have it on pace to receive LEED for Homes Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
A mix of expansive one-, two- and three-bedroom residences are available for immediate occupancy. Monthly rents start at $2,645.
Edge Lofts is the latest collection of premium, sustainable living residences in Hoboken from Bijou Properties. The locally-based developer is successfully transforming a stretch of properties along 14th Street into a distinct urban neighborhood fostered out of sustainable design and building practices. Recent efforts include the development and sell-out of the LEED Gold-certified Garden Street Lofts luxury condominium building, the historic conversion of the former Hostess Factory which now houses New York Sports Club, CVS Pharmacy and Chase Bank; and the creation of Garden Street Mews, a cobblestoned, tree-lined mews for pedestrian use only which is home to the Hoboken Family Farmer's Market.
"We care about our community and are committed to a better way of living," notes Lawrence Bijou, managing partner of the firm that bears his name. "Everything we do is designed with the community in mind. We're extremely proud of what we've created at Edge Lofts and believe we're delivering an outstanding and innovative product that will excite residents, enhance the neighborhood and further champion a healthier, more efficient and environmentally friendlier way of living."
Designed by Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architects, Edge Lofts features a distinctive brick- and-glass exterior. The south façade will be covered by a living wall of ivy to provide thermal, acoustical and aesthetic benefits, while architectural sunshades will reduce direct sun absorption at the southern corners.
Residents will enjoy a host of desirable building amenities and services, including a virtual doorman system, a 2,500 square-foot landscaped common terrace, a residents' lounge with WiFi, flat screen TV, kitchenette and wet bar and a children's play area; a package room for deliveries and cold storage area, bicycle racks and an on-site parking garage. The building is 100% smoke-free and pet friendly. Edge Lofts also features 1,250 square feet of ground floor retail space, as well as dedicated artist and gallery space.
A unique collection of premium residences feature expansive living spaces flooded with natural light and sleek modern design. Sophisticated finishes and appointments include dramatic 10'3″ ceilings and 8'-high doors that create a loft-like feel, reclaimed antique oak hardwood flooring, central heat and air conditioning and a washer and dryer in every home. Kitchens boast imported Italian recycled tile floors, Ceaserstone countertops, stainless steel Frigidaire Energy Star appliances and ducted range exhaust fans, while baths offer true cast iron Kohler Bellwether tubs to promote a classic feel with a modern look.
Homes are environmentally healthy and responsible with fresh air filtration systems, open cell spray foam insulation for maximum air and moisture control, superior sound insulation, zero VOC paint and more. Most residences also offer private balconies and terraces.
"By utilizing recycled materials and meaningful green elements in a new construction building, we're able to blend a classic look with a distinctively modern feel," Mr. Bijou points out. "What's more, we accomplished this with an energy-conservation design that will reduce monthly bills and lessen the building's impact on the city's infrastructure."
Residents will also appreciate Edge Loft's location in the upper northwest quarter of Hoboken which is celebrated for being close enough to enjoy all that Hoboken has to offer but in a more peaceful, removed setting. A host of restaurants, bars, boutique shops, conveniences and the New York Sports Club are within walking distance, as is the 14th Street New York Waterway Ferry providing convenient service to midtown and downtown Manhattan.
For additional information on Edge Lofts and to schedule an appointment to tour the furnished model residences, please call 201-963-1405 or visit www.EdgeLoftsHoboken.com.

Next generation Kia Optima to showcase confident new design direction – World premiere to be held at 2010 New York Motor Show
(SEOUL) March 14, 2010 – The next generation Kia Optima (currently, also known as 'Magentis' in some markets) is set to make its world premiere next month at the 2010 New York International Auto Show.
"The next generation Optima possesses the power to surprise," says Peter Schreyer, Kia's Chief Design Officer. "It's a car that people will simply not expect from Kia – and that's exactly what we set out to achieve."
The Optima exudes an athletic confidence from every angle and shutline – its raked roofline, the high and pronounced shoulder line of its sculpted flanks and its extended wheelbase are complemented by boldly flared wheelarches and a shallow glasshouse that create a saloon with a muscular and self-assured stance.
The striking visage of the Optima features a new interpretation of Kia's bold 'tiger' family face that's edged by piercing projector headlamps.
Longer, wider and lower than before, the Kia's coupe-like profile is enhanced by the sweeping chrome arc that flows from A to C pillar, a distinctive design motif that visually lowers the car further still and enhances its cab-backwards proportions.
Spacious, and with class-leading levels of safety and luxury equipment, the Optima's intelligently configured and driver-oriented cabin underlines this newfound poise and presence.
"The Optima embodies Kia's confident new design direction," says Schreyer. "It's a global car with individual appeal."
The Kia Motors press conference for the New York International Auto Show will take place on April 1, 2010 from 10:10-10:35 a.m. at the Kia Stand on Level 1 of the 'Jacob Javits Center' located between 34-39 Streets on 11th Avenue in New York City.

August 11, 2012 04:11
The younger generation face ever grimmer prospects in the job market while older people are pushed out of work even earlier amid the drawn-out global recession.
According to Statistics Korea last month, 11.4 percent of the 4.5 million people between 15 and 29 who are not currently at school or university have little chance of finding a job until they turn 30.
That is the highest youth unemployment rate since statistics began in the category in 2004.
Kim Bum-suk of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance said the fear is that they will still have difficulty finding a job in their 30s because they have accumulated no job experience in their 20s.
It took young people who do have work an average of 11 months to find their first jobs. But even then they normally worked in their first job for just a year and four months. Asked why they left, the largest proportion or 44 percent, cited dissatisfaction with working conditions, including salary and working hours. That is up 1.7 percentage points from a year earlier, showing that there are fewer decent jobs for young people in the job market.
Meanwhile, people between the ages of 55 to 79 worked for an average of 19 years and seven months in their longest job -- the shortest period since statistics began in 2005.
The average working period in a single job dropped below 20 years in 2010. Workers retired at the relatively young age of 53 years on average, even though they would still need to work for at least 10 years considering that the 2010 life expectancy was 77 years for men and 84 for women.
Some 90 percent of the 5.49 million employed older people wanted to work longer. When asked why, 49 percent said to make ends meet.
Prof. Lee Chan-young of Chonnam National University said, "The diminishing chances of employment for the younger generation and earlier retirement of the older generation aren't recent phenomena, but they have been aggravated by the recession."

OAKLAND, Calif. — Even Rex Ryan seemed speechless after this one.
The boisterous Jets coach struggled to find the words after his team, particularly his defense, was embarrassed by the Raiders, 34-24, in front of 61,546 fans at O.co Coliseum.
"This thing stings, there's no question," Ryan said quietly.
The Raiders rolled up 383 yards, 234 rushing, on the Jets defense that Ryan touted as the best in the NFL to hand the Jets their first loss of the season. It was the most rushing yards the Jets have given up under Ryan, and Darren McFadden's 171 yards were the most a single rusher has gained on Ryan's Jets. According to ESPN, a Ryan-coached defense had not allowed that many rushing yards since 1995, when he was an assistant with the Cardinals under his father, Buddy.
"It's embarrassing," Jets nose tackle Sione Pouha said. "It's humiliating for us to have something like that happen to us."
The Jets led 17-7 in the first half, then let the Raiders score 24 unanswered points. The Raiders took control late in the third quarter after the Jets failed to convert a fourth-and-2 on the Oakland 37 with the game tied at 17-17. Rookie receiver Denarius Moore scored on a 23-yard reverse to put the Raiders up by a touchdown. Then Antonio Cromartie muffed the ensuing kickoff, and the Raiders punched it in for a 31-17 lead two plays later.
"We lost to a team that was not as good as us, inferior to us," outside linebacker Calvin Pace said, before later retracting the word inferior. "But give them credit, they made plays and we didn't."
This was the beginning of a three-game road stretch for the Jets that could be the most difficult period of their schedule. They face the Ravens next week in Baltimore before going to New England. A loss to the Raiders was not the start they were looking for.
And Ryan knew exactly where to point the finger.
"It wasn't our offense," Ryan said. "Our defense let us down clearly. We gave up way too many big plays and [had] way too many penalties."
Those seven penalties for 61 yards were costly for the Jets, but not nearly as crucial as the defense falling down in trying to stop McFadden. Amazingly, the Raiders did not convert one third down (0-for-8) and still put up 34 points.
"We didn't execute the way that we need to to win," safety Jim Leonhard said. "You give up that many points and that many rushing yards you're going to have a hard time winning in the NFL. That's been proven year in, year out."
The Raiders came out firing on the first possession, running a lot of no-huddle, and driving 76 yards in five plays, capped by McFadden's 2-yard touchdown.
"We didn't come out ready to play, there's no doubt about it," Leonhard said. "You can't point any fingers anywhere. When a team comes out and goes 77 yards that quickly, you weren't ready. We've got a lot of issues we have to clean up."
The Jets offense had a decent game. Mark Sanchez, who was sacked four times in the second half and may have suffered a broken nose, threw for a career high 369 yards, and the Jets gained 100 yards on the ground for the first time this year.
Gang Green had a 17-7 lead with 5:06 left to play in the first half, then McFadden took over. He broke a 70-yard touchdown that brought the Raiders right back in the game. Tight end Kevin Boss pancaked Bart Scott on the edge to allow McFadden to hit the corner, then he broke a Leonhard tackle and sprinted past Cromartie.
The Raiders tied the game at 17-17 on a 54-yard Sebastian Janikowski field goal as time expired in the half.
The Jets made a late push to make it a game when Sanchez connected with Plaxico Burress for a 17-yard score to make it 31-24 with 5:38 to play. But the Raiders got Janikowski into field-goal position three minutes later and his 49-yarder made it a 34-24 game.
Sanchez thought he cut the deficit to a touchdown when he was ruled to score from 2 yards out on fourth down with 52 seconds left, but the touchdown was wiped out upon review.

Plant stands (Thrifted for $3.99)
1 can gold spray paint
Glass dish (mine was about 8 inches)
Potting soil
Rock or pebbles
Step 1: Clean any dirt or residue off plant stands. Dry.
Step 2: Spray paint plant stands evenly. Let Dry. I tend to be a bit antsy to use things after I paint them, but it's a good idea to let things dry our for a day or two to avoid scratches and fingerprints.
Step 3: Fill the bottom of your dish with a layer of rocks. Fill the dish with a generous inch or so full of potting soil. Once you have your layout ready, remove your first succulent from it's pot and plant in the soil. Add or remove soil as needed in your dish, keeping each plant's root ball in tact. Repeat until your dish is filled and then add another layer of rock to the top. Give your plants a little drink!
Step 4: Add your beautiful succulent dish to your plant stand.

The FTSE 100 is down around 0.5pc while the FTSE 250 is just about marking time.
German unemployment figures rose unexpectedly in April, which appears to have dented London traders' confidence.
Strong trading updates from Next and BSkyB helped both companies rise to the top of the blue-chip leaderboard. Next gained 2.3pc and BSkyB rose 2.1pc.
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) also gained 1pc after Credit Suisse upgraded the stock to "outperform" and raised its target price to £16.92. "We view IHG as the highest quality business in the European hotel sector given its high and rising returns driven by a capital-light predominantly managed and franchised model."
In the financial sector, HSBC edged 0.2pc higher as Morgan Stanley added the bank to its "European Most Preferred list".
However, Barclays gave up 3pc amid renewed jitters about the financial sector.
On the FTSE 250 index, Home Retail Group took the wooden spoon, retreating almost 10pc. The fall came as full year results showed that profits slumped by 60pc and the company axed its final dividend. This triggered a raft of broker downgrades.

Bengaluru airport wins best award in regional category
Bengaluru, March 23 (IANS) The Bengaluru airport won an international award for being the best in India and Central Asia under the regional category, said its operator on Thursday.
"The Kempegowda international airport was given the Skytrax award for being voted as the best regional airport in India and Central Asia by air travellers at the World Airport Awards at Stockholm in Sweden on Wednesday," said Bangalore International Airport ltd (BIAl) in a statement here.
As the country's third busiest airport after Mumbai and Delhi, the airport at Devanahalli on the city's northern outskirts won the award for the second consecutive year and two times in 2015 and 2011.
"The award reaffirms our commitment to provide a world-class experience for travellers at the airport," said BIAl Chief Executive Hari Marar on the occasion.
The Skytrax awards is the largest passenger satisfaction assessment and prestigious among surveys measuring airport service excellence and quality.
The winners were declared based on 13.73 million questionnaires from 500 airports worldwide, surveyed between August 2017 and February 2018.
A key directive of the survey is for passengers to make their choices as to which airport they consider the best.
'Regional Airports' refers to those operating short international and domestic flights, than having a vast intercontinental network.
About 250 lakh passengers used the decade-old airport in calendar year 2017, up 13 per cent from 2016.
Nearly 45 Indian and international airlines operate services, connecting 62 cities across the country and overseas.
BIAl is a consortium of public and private investors, including the central and state governments.

The majority of London tube users would be concerned if stations swapped their manned ticket offices for electronic machines, according to a new poll.
According to london24.com, 71 per cent of passengers are re-assured by the presence of ticket offices.
Many of the group suggested this was down to the technology coming into replace the traditional booking system, as 52 per cent said they had been unable to buy tickets in the past due to faulty machines.
The debate has received a great deal of press coverage after the Rail and Maritime Transport Union (RMT) discovered a plan to remove the ticket office from Whitechapel station and replace it with more electronic booking systems.
Whitechapel is currently being redesigned with a view to it being served by Crossrail.
RMT general secretary Bob Crow highlighted that thousands of passengers would be denied the right to travel through London if the electronic ticket offices failed to operate.
"That is the reality of this closure policy and it would be the elderly and those with disabilities who would suffer the most as a result," he told transport-network.co.uk.
RMT was due to present the findings of the poll to the London Assembly Transport Committee on October 16.

KABUL: British Afghan Chamber of Commerce and Industry country director Dr Zia Ur Rehman Zia joined Afghanistan's delegation led by the chairman of Afghanistan Senate Mr Muslimyar to China last week to attend Boao Forum, meet private sector leaders and discuss public-private partnership opportunities with Chinese government officials for the One Belt, One Road initiative in Afghanistan.
Dr Zia met with vice prime minister of China Mr Zhang Gaoli, executives of major corporations and highlighted the opportunities available in Afghanistan for investment.
He presented Afghanistan's strategic location in the heart of Asia as a key for the success of One Belt, One Road initiative.
Dr Zia highlighted opportunities available in Afghanistan for investment in the energy, mining, telecommunication, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors.
He stressed increased bilateral trade and commerce between Afghanistan and China. And urged Chinese businesses to buy Afghan products directly from Afghanistan, and not through third countries where products are wrongly labelled under a different country with low quality.
Dr Zia spoke about the high quality carpets, saffron, dried fruits and gemstones that Chinese businesses can buy directly from Afghanistan through BACCI's Buy From Afghanistan Initiative.
He also urged businesses to use innovative structures in implementing projects efficiently and mitigating risks in both countries through private-private partnerships (joint-ventures) and public-private partnerships (PPP).
BACCI's attendance of Boao Forum and visit to China comes at a time when BACCI sees the growing importance of One Belt, One Road initiative, and the great opportunities it offers to Afghanistan and its private sector.
As a follow up to Boao Forum, BACCI is also co-hosting and participating in Silk Road Investment Forum in London next week on 6th and 7th April.
BACCI chairman Dr Hotak will be chairing two key panels in the event on Connecting the Regions of the Silk Road and Silk Road Region Energy & Mining Market Dynamics.

Think winery, and chic Mediterranean-style architecture comes to mind - not reclaimed materials and salvaged boats. But that's exactly what you get at the Vena Cava Winery in Baja's Guadalupe Valley. Located about 12 miles east of Ensenada and designed by Architects Alejandro D'Acosta and Claudia Turrent, the winemaking facility looks a bit like a scene from Burning Man. But it's so much more than that - sustainable design matched with creative construction contribute to an ethos that will give conscious consumers confidence in this inspired organic vineyard.
Vena Cava Winery was started by Phil Gregory, who also owns and runs the nearby luxury hotel La Villa del Valle in Guadalupe Valley. The desert valley enjoys an interesting microclimate for growing grapes with excellent soil and mineral quality and nighttime sea breezes that keep the grapes cool. While only in production for four years, the organic vineyard produces New World wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Grenache blend and the Reserve, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes.

Husband and wife architecture team, Alejandro D'Acosta and Claudia Turrent made use of their impressive junk yard scouring skills to source materials for the eclectic new facility. Old boats from the nearby Ensenada port were used as cathedral style roofs for the underground buildings. Otherwise, reclaimed materials, salvaged wood and recycled glass all make their way into the building along with earthen walls. Dirt excavated for the buildings was used elsewhere on the property. Construction was completed in 2012 with the help of Architect Miguel Cuesta and Contextual Architecture Workshop. Overall, the eco winery was constructed in a radial pattern so wine making process is more efficient by minimizing the distance from the vines to the grapes.

Despite the weather conditions, the Barton Community College men's golf team was working its way up the leaderboard in the final round of the two-day Central Kansas Classic, only to have its charge through Tuesday's eleven holes wiped off the board with the Classic's conclusion due to rain being added to the mid-40 degree temperature. The Cougars officially ended in fourth place, having shot a combined 55-over 615 in Monday's two rounds of 15-25mph winds and decreasing temperature conditions throughout the day. Barton completed the morning session with a 311 and as the weather conditions deteriorated just like what was occurring in Tuesday's morning round, the Cougars played better golf in the afternoon carding a 304.
Four Cougars ranked in the top-20 of the eighty-seven man field with freshman Oscar Elfvin placing tied for 10th with rounds of 76 and 75 to finish at 11-over 151. One stroke behind was sophomore Thitipong Homruen who after opening with a 79, came back in the afternoon round in firing a 73 for a 12-over 152 tournament for a 12th place tie.
Tied for the 20th spot at 16-over 156, Kylian Cavdar and Adrien Bonnet flip-flopped their rounds to finish in the tie with Cavdar carding 80-76 rounds while Bonnet began with a 76 before falling back with the afternoon 80 score. Rounding out the squad was Jacob Roth in a 48th place tie at 30-over 170 with an opening round of 86 before improving in the second round with an 84.
Two individuals donned the Barton blue as Kelby Titus' opening 77 round was four strokes better than the afternoon's 81 in slipping just out of the top-25 with a 26th place tie at 18-over 158. Michael Kelly stayed consistent in his two Monday rounds, carding twin 92 scores for a tie for 73rd at 44-over 184.
Barton will be back on the links next Monday for the two-day Blue Devil Fall Classic being held at Dub's Dread Golf Course in Kansas City, Kansas.
Fellow Jayhawk Conference member Dodge City Community College took the team title with a 587 to win by six strokes ahead of Bethany College. Sterling College finished in the third spot and nine strokes ahead of the Cougars with a 606.

I've done some things I'm ashamed of. Been the subject of gossip they didn't even bother trying to keep from my ears. But I'm here, thousands of miles away trying to atone for my sins. Funny thing is, some sins are so ingrained it's impossible to scrub them from your DNA.
Chelsea's hell bent on reigning in her free spirit and becoming the daughter her mama could be proud of. Lord knows she owes her that much. But when a stranger crosses her path, her wild heart flares to life. She figures a little bit of fun never hurt none. She isn't prepared for the lesson fate serves with a slice of pie, and some sweet tea on the side.
Greyson is done with being neck deep in cow dung. He's ready to hang up his cowboy hat and replace it with a toque blanche. Following his passion all the way to Boston, he gets the shock of his life when the smokin' hot blonde from Alabama turns up in his uncle's restaurant.
But her plans and his future are set for different destinations. And distance isn't the only thing trying to tear them apart.
The kitchen is about to go volcanic as he fights to chase his dream, and hold on to his dream girl.
Chelsea will have to make a choice between her heart, or her home.
Which one will it be?

Excerpt #1
Like the rest of town, Lucy's Diner was stuck in a time warp. They had the jukebox to prove it, complete with vinyl records. It had a nice homey feel to it, though—another thing she'd miss while she was gone.
The bell on the door jingled as it slapped shut behind her. An aromatic cocktail of grease and coffee hung on the air, assailing her senses, and triggering her hunger. Chelsea turned and waved to Angel as she drove off shaking her head. Her friend thought she was crazy, meeting a strange man who wasn't hanging around for long. She'd learned to be more selective and trust her instincts when it came to men, despite her impulsive tendencies. Unwilling to repeat the fatal mistake from her past.
Maybe she was crazy, but there was something about him… She wasn't completely irresponsible. The diner was her turf and it was safe. There'd be people here that would look out for her.
She had this under control.
Chelsea's blue gaze roamed the cracked red vinyl booths, until they landed on the deliciousness that was Greyson Stranger. She didn't know his last name, so Stranger it was, and that's how she wanted it to stay. This was just a short detour to let off some steam before she had to get back to the serious business of paying for her sins.
Her smile stretched wide as she watched him take her in, the heat in his eyes blazing. His long, dark hair hung over one eye, brushing the tops of his wide shoulders. He leaned back in the chair and rested his arms across the table in front of him, with a hint of a smile in greeting.
Slowly walking towards him, she kept eye contact, half because she wanted to make an entrance, and half because she couldn't look away.
"Is this seat taken?"
Greyson waved his hand across the booth as if to say, "Be my guest."
Chelsea slid into the seat and rested her chin in her hands, still staring at him.
"Hi." He smirked.
"You hungry?"
"Yeah. I've ordered a piece of pie and sweet tea. I didn't know if you were gonna show up, so I figured I'd… fill up my body…" He wiggled his fingers to put air quotes around his use of her phrase. "… before gettin' back on the road."
At the mention of his body, Chelsea's eyes dropped to his straining T-shirt again. It was hard not to look. The man was gorgeous. "Well, sugar, if I invite a man somewhere you can always guarantee I'll show up. A piece of pie and some sweet tea sounds mighty fine right about now."
The waitress appeared in time with Chelsea's declaration. "Hi sweetie, good to see you again. You having what he's having?" The older lady stood with pencil and pad poised, and a ready smile.
"Thanks, Doreen."
"Okay, hun." She bustled back behind the counter.
Chelsea turned back to her companion. "So, tell me about your first kiss?"
Greyson's mouth dropped open and he huffed out a laugh. "Excuse me?"
"First kiss. Come on. Spill."
"Mindy Lawson, second grade, on the swings. How about you?"
"Decker Turner, two years old, in the playpen." She grinned. "What did you think you'd grow up to be when you were a kid?"
"Superman… How 'bout you?"
"Lois Lane." The corner of her mouth kicked up as she batted her lashes playfully.
A deep laugh rumbled out of him, sending tingles down her neck.
"Do I get to ask a question?" He raised a dark brow.
"Only if it's not personal."
"Your first kiss isn't personal?"
"No." She shrugged.
"So, I can't ask what your last name is?"
"Or your number?"
"Nooo." She shook her head, dramatically.
He sat up straight and scratched the stubble on his chin, one side of his mouth quirked. "Arrabbiata or Carbonara?"
"Ooh, good one. It depends on my mood. Arrabbiata, most of the time."
"Spicy… Nice." He leaned towards her, his eyes dipping to her lips for a second, before seeking her gaze again.
She put her hands on the table, mirroring him as she leaned forward. "Red or white wine?"
"Whatever goes with the dish."
"I like an adventurous man." The smile broke out on her face again.
"I'm on the biggest adventure of my life."
"Where ya headed?"
"Isn't that a personal question?" He raised a brow and moved his hand closer so their fingers touched.
"Touché. Yes, it is."
The clink of plates on the table broke the intensity between them.
Chelsea took in a desperate breath as they both leaned back. "Thanks, Doreen, you're a darlin'."
"You're welcome, sweetie. Enjoy!"
They each took a forkful of pie, and chewed as their eyes roamed over each other. The taste on her tongue was amazing. The country song playing on the jukebox barely registered over the sound of Grey's lips smacking together as he enjoyed his food. He made a low hum in his throat, and she let out a whimper. It was the most intense foreplay she'd ever experienced.
She couldn't help feeling sad at the thought that this couldn't go anywhere. It should have been a warning signal, when fleeting hook-ups were the only relationships she dared to entertain. The type she could control. Maybe it hadn't been wise, starting something with this man. It echoed of her past. Of a stupid decision that cost a life. She feared she was setting herself up for a painful experience, rather than the fun she'd hoped for.
Picking up her glass, she gulped down some cool, sweet tea, looking away from him for a beat.
"Feelin' a bit heated, sugar?" The amusement was obvious in his voice.
The glass thunked on the table as she put it down too forcefully. "I am. You wanna get out of here?"
"What's the hurry? Are you tired of me already?"
"Nope. It's just the opposite. I'm afraid I've bitten off more than I can chew, but like the greedy girl I am, I'd like to gorge myself some more."
She had lost her everlovin' mind.
His jaw tightened and he paused, his eyes flashing to her mouth. She watched that jaw loosen as he continued to chew and swallow slowly. His gaze drifted back to hers, and he picked up his drink, draining it in one long chug before pushing the glass away.
"You're a wild one… Tempting."
He sat so still with his eyes boring into hers, his face an intense mask. His eyebrows had dropped. He looked almost angry… or maybe frustrated. It did nothing to dispel the heat that gathered in her core. If anything, the hint of fire in his eyes set her desire for him at furnace level. She'd never experienced an attraction like this before, putting her at a distinct disadvantage. She needed to be the one in control, and she felt anything but.
"I need to get back on the road. If I don't get out of here now, I'm never going to leave," he muttered, before he stood. Reaching into his back pocket, he pulled out his wallet, and threw some green onto the table. His warm palm caressed her cheek, as his thumb drifted across her bottom lip. The touch set off all sorts of tingles, further awakening parts that had no business being excited in a 1950s diner.
Chelsea's heart thundered in her chest as he leaned down to place a soft kiss on her lips. The barely-there touch seared more than the hottest chili.
"The first kiss is always personal," he whispered in her ear, before walking out of her life.
For good.
She sat for the longest time, staring at where he'd been sitting, trying to calm the hell down. Wondering what the fuck had just happened, and why she suddenly felt so bereft. Like her carefully planned future now had a gaping hole she had no idea how to fill.
Excerpt #2
Belly full of beer and nachos, Chelsea found herself sitting in a dim candlelit room with about fifteen others, listening to a psychic pull random information from thin air. She didn't think there was any threat of actual communication with the dead, but some vibe in the room made her twitchy. Perhaps it was because she was sandwiched between Ryan and Grey, who both sat with arms crossed and one ankle on the opposing knee. It seemed Hannah was in charge of the itinerary for the night, and nobody liked her choice of activities.
Strangely, Dakota chose a seat beside Grey, quietly absorbing the show. Or maybe it wasn't strange, and Chelsea was letting her green side take over. Not the Oz kind of green, either. It was more the mammoth proportions of the big guy who split his pants every time he got mad.
Hannah appeared oblivious, hanging on every word coming out of the psychic's mouth. Lord bless that free-spirited woman. She embraced everything she did, wholeheartedly. Chelsea could learn a thing or two from her. She unfolded her arms, placing her hands between her knees, and sat up.
"May I approach you?" The psychic had Chelsea in her sights.
"Don't be scared. I have a message from your loved one."
"Pfft. Oh, I'm not scared, honey." She rubbed her palms together, shuffling her butt back in her chair.
You're such a liar.
"Your loved one with a B sound. A female. You were close, but not related."
Chelsea's muscles tensed, the twitchy feeling intensifying under her skin.
"She said to let go of the blame. It was her choice. You were not responsible."
Her vocabulary vanished as her body locked tight. What could she say? That information couldn't be randomly plucked from the air. Unless this psychic somehow knew her from Texas, there was no way she could've known Chelsea had been carrying the burden of blame for her wild ways... and the irreversible consequences. She squeezed her palms between her knees as her mind reeled. Was that really Beth?
"She said to tell you she's okay."
Well, I'm not.
"I have a message for you, too."
Chelsea's focus turned to Greyson as the psychic addressed him.
"This spirit is very clearly your grandfather. A forceful personality. He refused to wait his turn. He said he's sorry for being so stubborn, and that you must follow your heart, wherever it may lead you."
Grey tipped his chin up in a dismissive gesture, choosing not to speak. Angling himself towards her, he pulled one of her hands onto his thigh and clasped their palms together, unspoken questions suspended in his eyes.
Are you okay?
Who is Beth?
"I got you." The words rumbled out in a deep, calming whisper.
Oh, honey. You have me more than you know.
She fixed on their joined hands, her eyelids tapping out a frantic rhythm. He'd brushed aside his own revelation to take care of her, the security net still blanketing her. She half expected to see a cascade of rubble as another of her walls came crashing down. He'd offered her a safe place to forgive herself for all her failings. A chance at normal. She'd vehemently denied the small voice in her mind that said, 'what if?' What if she allowed herself to trust enough to find love? What if she found someone who would cherish her? Didn't she deserve that? That's all Beth had wanted.
As the psychic moved through the room, Chelsea struggled with herself to stay seated. She turned her thoughts back to Grey. The way he held her hand steady, as if he knew she needed an anchor because she was suddenly lighter than before. He gave their joined hands a shake to get her attention, and tilted his chin towards the door. She didn't need to be told twice. She stood and followed him. Breaking free, she took a gulp of night air, letting his hand slip from hers.
He flexed his fingers. "You've got a good grip."
"So I've been told." She winced. She'd let her tongue loose again. Damn, it was hard holding back around him. "Sorry about that. Knee jerk reaction. I'm trying to be a better person and that means less inappropriate flirting."
"It's only inappropriate if it's unwelcome."
"Well, I just crushed your hand. I'm sure you weren't thinking about my grip around anything else."
"I haven't stopped thinking about parts of you wrapped around parts of me ever since we met."
Her lids dropped low as she took in the firm set of his jaw. His molten gaze warmed her up, making her body pliant and ready for his touch. Maybe she could let him in? For the time she had left, anyways. And finally give herself a taste of something she could hold deep inside for the rest of her days.
"That can be arranged."
"Oh really? Forfeiting your bet so early in the game? Shame on you, Chelsea. I thought you were made of tougher stuff."
"How do you—" Her eyes popped before narrowing. "Dane… Oh, he is going to get a wupping next time I see him."
"He's a good friend. You have a good group of people who love you." He pushed some hair out of his face and glanced at the door they'd just exited. "And some questionable tag-alongs."
"You don't like Ryan, huh?"
"I wasn't referring to Ryan. But, no. I don't like him. He wants what I want." Those eyes travelled over her features.
"He can't have me. And, for the record, I don't give a rat's ass about the bet."
"Good. I'm glad to hear it, because you and I are gonna happen."
"Now?" She bounced on the balls of her feet.
He barked out a laugh, flashing his teeth. "No. I don't sleep with witches."
"Oh. That's a shame, because I'm pretty sure witches sleep naked."
His brow shot up. "Is that right?"
"It's just a rumor I heard from someone in the know."
"I'll dream about that until the time comes."
"When will it be time to come? Because I'm lookin' forward to the coming part."
The smile spread across his face in a slow seductive tide, as his lids grew heavy. "It's going to be explosive."
"When? When is it going to explode? I hope we have some towels on hand."
Laughter burst from deep in his belly, the sound rivalling the revelry in the street. "Oh, you are a peach." He reached out and pulled her into his frame.
Enveloped in his arms as he shook in amusement, she couldn't contain her smile. He was all kinds of warm and hard, and big… and hard. Yeah, she might've burrowed in close enough to feel something against her stomach. A girl had to check these things. He had all the right gear to get the job done.
He also had so much more that she wasn't prepared for. He had heart, and compassion. He'd known that she needed to get out of that room, and he'd made it happen without pressing her for a reason why. And then he'd made her laugh while getting her panties wet. He was a goddamn rock. A big, gorgeous, steady rock. Her arms crept around him as she turned her face into his chest and breathed him in. She listened to the beat in his chest, absorbed the rise and fall of air from his lungs, and felt her own match it.
She'd been so torn between belonging in two different places that she hadn't imagined she could feel so content in a place like his arms.
Maybe home had nothing to do with geography.
But if you want to call someone home, you must both be in the same city.
And there was the problem.

Seven take aways from Gregory FCA's national media panelApril 19, 2010
Panelist Sree Sreenivasen kicking off the discussion
This weekend I had the opportunity to take some time and process the findings from our recent national media panel round table that Gregory FCA brought to Philadelphia to help gain national perspective on The Art of News and Storytelling in the Age of Social and Digital Media.
The biggest conclusion is that much of what we heard from a panel that included reporters, writers, editors, and managers from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, USA Today, Forbes, and others is that the media is struggling with many of the same issues facing corporate America.
And in some ways, they are leading the pack in how to leverage these new communications avenues to gain attention, tell stronger stories, and build bonds and brands that resonate with audiences. Here's the DL from top media across the country.
1. Content is still king. Great storytelling, clearly articulated messages, insightful information that applies to macro or micro audiences. These are still the hallmark of effective communications. Social media can't prop up a bad story, but it can amplify a good one, delivering new audiences in the marketplace.
2. Set aside skepticism and fear. One conclusion that became evident is that the best media organizations in the world have set aside past skepticism and are now true believers. The culture of a newsroom is as difficult to change as a corporation. But the media has challenged their people to embrace the opportunity, thoughtfully engage with their customers, and use new channels to see more value from the information they create.
3. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube. This is where the audience now lives, and it's where media now inhabits. The New York Times has 2.5 million followers on Twitter. Facebook now has 400 million users. The real Web is out there — and it's being dominated by these social media tools.
4. Digital communications has changed the way we consume news and how stories are told. Twitter's 140 characters has opened new pathways of communications that corporations must embrace. Streaming news — whether to promote a product, calm a crisis, or explain an issue — is now the preferred method of communication for many consumers. Yet the long form — brochureware websites, annual reports, lengthy press releases — still dominate corporate communications.
5. The media is better at SEO than most companies. Editors and reporters are measuring and monitoring what gets results in the things they publish. Whatever gets results wins further coverage. Businesses? Not so much. Too often, corporations are stuck in the "let-me-tell-you" mode of thinking, instead of "let me listen first, and then tell you what you want to know."
6. Embrace the rambling hoards. A marvel of new media is that ideas, thoughts, products, and services can be tested, improved, and enhanced through active engagement with online audiences. The media is already doing it 24/7 through an organic interchange between themselves, their readers, viewers, and sources. What are the ramifications for business? Crowdsourcing can deliver similar innovation, but you need to be part of the crowd, digitally embedded, available, listening, and responding.
7. Take control of your narrative. Never in the history of human communications have companies had the ability take control of their own story and tell it directly to the consumers without filters or huge investments. The media is now using their primary asset, the intellectual capacity of their writers and reporters, to connect directly and extend their brands' narratives. Are you?

Another Land Raider storms in
I have told you that I was preparing another post from my finished models in my Imperial Fists Army and here I am again with another Land Raider, the classic version this time!
This one features more Forgeworld goodness in the form of extra armor and Terminator markings in the doors. I just love these upgrade packs, they give so much flavour to an already great model that the Land Raider is.
Hopefully I'm done with the Land Raiders for the time being and I will focus on finishing more stuff from the army, mainly the Terminators that definately need some love! I have also almost finished my Land Speeder so keep an eye for this little bugger too!
As always please take some time to leave me a vote in CoolMiniOrNot and of course I would love to hear what you think!

We love you, Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas. In fact, here are five reasons why you rule the roost. But you dance funky.
We're not saying we're any better. Truth is, we're utterly captivated by you and your awkward ways. Were God to create a third left foot, we know you would utilize it. Here, then, are the top ten awkward EDC Las Vegas dance move GIFs.
10. Fanny Packin' Heat
If this girl looks a little tentative it's because she's worried she doesn't have enough bracelets on. Unfortunately for you haters, though, she's got three dozen more in her fanny pack!
9. Bouncing Around the Room
If this lady could keep from ripping all of her shirts, she'd be marriage material.
8. Rave Warrior
What with his camo pants and forearm armor, we could see this guy slowly creeping through the jungle. But instead of seeking out the enemy, he's looking for some groovy monkeys to chillax with.
7. One For All and All For One
These guys decided to straight party like it was 1990, bro. Swag!
6. 2 Fierce 2 Fabulous
This guy proves that it's not about skills or moves or being limber or being hot or even really being that awake. It's about a mustache and a bulge.

When you're a one-man whirling dervish of raving badassness, walking becomes obsolete.

Hi Charlie.
Thank you so much for the card [ it arrived today]. It cheered me up as yesterday I was a dear friend funeral. She died suddenly on 18th. Then last night I broke a tooth in half and ended up having an emergency cap/filling.
I hope you managed to sort your car out, it wasn't the same one that some one bumped in to you in sept:?
It's a pleasure to put messages on your blog, Julia is the only other presenter I blog. Glad Bella gives you a laugh with her antics, I'm trying to get her hold your photo so I can get a picture but I'm not winning.
I eventualy ordered Charlie bears " teddy with wings" cutie pie as I feather fluttered in through the window [ an omen I think!!]I'm hoping it arrives before wednesday so it can come with me to hospital for my 2nd op [ it was cancelled in may].
Take care.
Love Debby and Bella say's whoof whoof.
Hope you've had a great week so far. When I was asked if I'd like to try out a Northern Nights 'Todays Special Value' coming up… how could I resist?
We have four fabulous options available; the one I've been trying is 'Aqua' and just like the other choices, it is tonal and fully reversible. The Egyptian cotton feels fabulous, boasting a 300 thread count.
I'm on-air this Monday 10th July at 10pm with Amber Discoveries, and then I'm launching the Northern Nights Today's Special Value at midnight… I'll do my best to not fall asleep – but it does feel so good!
Funnily enough, as I write this it reminds me of a time when I really did doze off while working! I was based in a London studio working on a music production. It was the middle of the night and I was alone, dubbing the music to tape. I was soooo tired, that I fell asleep standing up, to then jolt myself awake just as I was about to fall over! It could have been a nasty fall, especially with all that studio equipment around me!
I hope you can join me this Monday, in the meantime I'll have another wonderful sleep with our Todays Special Value bedding set!
Take care,
This week's fact: Saturn's rings are about 270,000 kilometres in diameter. However, the thickness is estimated to be no thicker than 1 kilometre!
Until then – take a look at the Northern Nights range.

Hi Charlie, not long now before the children are on holiday, I do hope the weather picks up a bit, poor kids will have webbed feet if we get much more rain.
I was thinking of you today when during the news they told us of this amazing discovery which helps to explain the beginning of the universe,and the man responsible for starting this line of thought was in the audiance, HIGGS of THE HIGGS BOSON experiments, a day to remember.I think if you seen him you will tell your grandchildren you actually heard the announcement of this discovery to the world, it will make,who knows what to our world. My son was very excited about it, its really something.
Will be watching on Monday, we only have NN bed sets now, I love the higher thread counts,its almost a satin feeling, great prices compared to the Dorma I used to buy.
Hope the family are all well, and your Dad is back to fighting form,
If you are going on holiday I hope you have a great time,
On holiday Mary Poppins ordered califlower and cheese and two poached eggs
signed the visitors book,
Super cauliflower cheese but poached eggs were attrocious.

Septentrio makes high-precision GNSS receivers for commercial and scientific applications. Its origins are in European space research, to which it is still tightly connected. I discussed the company's history and strengths with Jan Van Hees, its business development manager, and Bruno Bougard, its R&D Director.
Septentrio was founded in the 1990s at IMEC, a microelectronics basic research company, as part of work for the European Space Agency that led a group to develop high-precision GPS and Glonass technology. To commercialize this technology, in 2000 IMEC spun off Septentrio. Most of its staff of about 100 people, which includes about 20 nationalities, is based at the company's headquarters in Belgium, with additional offices in California and Hong Kong. About half the staff is in engineering and almost everybody in engineering has at least a college degree; many have PhDs. The company subcontracts the manufacturing of the boards and does final assembly, configuration, test, and maintenance in house.

U.S. Broadband Use Soars August 18th, 2006
High-speed Internet subscriptions are soaring as more than 50.2 million lines were added in the United States in 2005 – a jump of 33% over the previous year, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
Figures for 2006 also indict the trend is continuing as the Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that an estimated 42% of Americans had high-speed Internet access at home in March 2006. That was up from 30% of Americans with high-speed access one year earlier, according to an article from Reuters news service.
The FCC also reports that more consumers signed up for digital subscriber line service from telephone companies than cable modem service providers, states the report from Reuters.
DSL subscriptions rose to 5.7 million lines in 2005, in comparison to cable companies' 4.2 million new subscribers, according to FCC figures cited in the article.
The United States is ranked 12th in the world for broadband subscribers behind countries including Iceland, South Korea and Japan, according to Reuters, citing figures from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

What Is Managed Online Backup?
Making sure your backup data is secure is of paramount importance. We offer you the security options to make sure that your data remains your data. You can choose from 128-bit to military-grade 446-bit encryption so you get the best balance between performance and security.
Managed Online Backup
Backup redundancy shouldn't mean using two solutions.
Backup Features
Complete operating system (OS) coverage
Your most important servers running Windows Server versions 2008 and 2012 are fully supported to be easily recovered.
Backup data deduplication (a specialized data compression technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data)
Our Backup uses True Delta technology to identify changes at a block level and backs those up, giving you the fastest backup possible – with complete ability to fully recover a server or client.
Fastest possible backups
Backups sent to the cloud are optimized using compression, bandwidth throttling and automatic online reconnection, ensuring use of the least bandwidth possible.
Hybrid-cloud backups
Backups are automatically saved to the cloud and, optionally, to local storage – giving you instant backup redundancy.
Centralized monitoring and reporting
Manage your backups centrally from the cloud where you can monitor and be alerted to the state of your backups, storage use, data backed up and the success/failure of each job.
Worldwide Data Centers
Our Backup utilizes SSAE compliant or ISO certified data centers located in the US, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Australia. Customers can choose where their data will reside to either ensure that their data resides within or outside specific boundaries.
End-to-End Encryption
Backups are encrypted before they ever leave the customer site – ensuring that only the customer ever sets eyes on it. Encrypted backups are then transmitted over a secure connection, remaining encrypted until they are finally stored in the cloud. It's only once they're retrieved during recovery – and arrive back at the customer site where the private key exists – that the backup is decrypted.
Advanced Encryption Standards (AES)
Your most critical data isn't secured with just any level of encryption; every customer has different needs. So you can select your preferred level of encryption: AES 128-bit, AES 256-bit, or 448-bit Blowfish.
When disaster strikes, recovery speed is critical. Recovering a physical server to a virtual one is often the fastest solution to get your customers' operations back up and running. In addition to physical server, application and data recovery, MAX Backup also provides customers with the ability to quickly restore business continuity by taking their disaster recovery virtual.
Recovery Features
Centralized recovery management
You don't need to be on-site to recover Exchange. Manage the backup and recovery from a single, web-based console.
Rich virtual targets
Our Backup supports recovering physical servers to VMware ESXi and vSphere, a VMDK file and Microsoft Hyper-V.
Hybrid recovery
You can always recover, even without access to the Internet, via backups stored on synchronized local storage.
Fastest recovery possible
Our Backup takes advantage of its dual recovery sources – cloud and local – and automatically selects the source that will provide the quickest recovery.
Disaster recovery testing
Take advantage of your virtual environment by testing automated recovery of your servers to Virtual Machine (VM) images, saving time and without interrupting production.
Virtual to Virtual (V2V)
Manage the recovery of your Hyper-V or VMware–based servers with the Backup's native support for both platforms, recovering any virtual server under your protection with just a few clicks.
Bare metal recovery (BMR)
When a complete reconstruction of an Exchange Server is needed, the Backup has a one step, fully automated process of recovering an entire Windows Server or workstation.
Don't Be Shy
If we didn't answer all of your questions, feel free to drop us a line anytime.

HONOLULU (Reuters) - Hawaii, which had a pioneering role in the acceptance of same-sex matrimony in the United States two decades ago, could become the 15th state to extend marriage rights to gay couples when state lawmakers meet this week for a special session.
Governor Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, has called the session to start on Monday to debate a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage.
"I think Hawaii has always celebrated its sense of Aloha for one another," Abercrombie said in a telephone interview. "This is a question of equity."
In 1993, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled it was discriminatory to deny marriage rights to same-sex couples.
But rather than pave the way for a gay marriage law, the ruling prompted a conservative backlash. In 1998, Hawaiian voters approved a state constitutional amendment that limited the right to marry to heterosexual couples.
The tide has begun to turn under Abercrombie, who was elected in 2010. He signed a same-sex civil unions bill into law in 2011 and has been a vocal proponent of gay marriage since then.
"To win now through the political process in Hawaii would show just how far public opinion in our nation has evolved, and how quickly," said Jon Davidson, legal director at Lambda Legal, which promotes gay civil rights. "It would demonstrate that ... allowing same-sex couples the same right to marry that different-sex couples cherish only provides greater joy and security to more families, and harms no one."
Just one year ago, only six states and the District of Columbia recognized same-sex marriage.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark victory for gay rights by forcing the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages in states where it is legal and paving the way for gay marriage in California.
But the court did not endorse a fundamental right for gay people to marry, leaving the issue to be decided on a state-by-state basis, at least for now. Same-sex couples and gay rights organizations now have 36 lawsuits pending in 20 states, according to Davidson.
Last week, same-sex weddings started in New Jersey, and the high court in New Mexico heard arguments on whether gay marriage should be recognized there statewide.
Lawmakers in Illinois are also considering the issue.
"This is an issue where we've hit a tipping point," said James Esseks, who oversees gay rights advocacy for the American Civil Liberties Union. "The momentum we have is striking."
The debate over same-sex matrimony has long divided the Aloha State, and the special legislative session is being greeted by rival demonstrations.
On Sunday, a crowd of about 300 gay marriage proponents staged an "All You Need is Love" rally at the state Capitol in Honolulu in support of state Senate Bill 1, which is due for its first hearing on Monday morning.
Men, women and children wearing colorful silk flower garlands, or leis, waved giant rainbow flags and carried signs urging passage of the measure. Some sat down at computers provided by organizers to type out statements to be presented as written testimony to legislators for the hearing.
"I am just as deserving of participating in the tradition of marriage as anyone," said Valerie Smith, 42, a school teacher who said she was just days away from giving birth to her first child but hoped to hold off delivery until she and her partner can get married in Hawaii.
They also wed in Canada in 2009 but would like to have their union legalized in their home state and their own country.
"When people tell me I don't have a right to get married, they're telling me I don't have a right to be a part of society," she said. "No one owns marriage."
Opponents of the bill who favor leaving the outcome of the debate to voters, plan to make their voices heard on Monday with a separate "Let the People Decide" gathering.
"They're starting House hearings on Halloween, when many of those opposed will be busy with their families, so we're telling people to bring their kids trick-or-treating at the state capitol," said Jim Hochberg, president of Hawaii Family Advocates, the leading group opposing the governor's bill.
Donald Bentz, head of the gay rights group Equality Hawaii, said he was hopeful the bill would pass, adding it was bad policy to allow voters - rather than lawmakers or the courts - to decide civil rights questions.
"Whenever you leave the rights of a minority up to the majority, that's a bad day," he said.
