We have started to build relations, and I thought shall be, is happy with it the man, we met him 3 years, I loved him, and he too spoke, that loves me, but it was not the truth, about it I have found out later. To me girlfriends told, that saw him with other girls, but I did not trust my girlfriends, I spoke, that you deceive me. We thought of our future, and even wanted to get married, but it did not happen. I have come to one day to a theme home when from me has given keys, from his apartment, and have seen, how he made love to other girl. To me it was very insulting, and I very much experienced in this occasion, but time treats, I have forgotten all, only then to me very much it was not pleasant for me.

I was happy with him, I thought, that we shall be happy together, but then I have replaced, that began frequently and to drink much, he every day used alcohol. And it very much was not pleasant to me, because he much and frequently saws, to me was sad to see, how he began to drink much, and him has left. I met him 1 year. So my lovely at me was only 2 men with who at me were sex. My lovely understands, I am engaged in sex only with that person whom I love. And I am completely open for you, and I have what secrets from you.
I am very lonely now; I do not have not enough man's care and heat. In fact I too want to be happy. I would like to love, and that I could care of mine to the man.

Letter 17
Good afternoon my lovely.
That happened why you to me so for a long time do not write.
In fact you usually wrote to me letters, and now you so for a long time do not write to me.
I very much worry in this occasion, and I do not know what already to think, why there is no your letter...
I hope with you all normally, and you are simply very much borrowed on work.
I very much wait for your letter.
Write to me, and do not overlook about me.

Letter 18
Hello my dear Steve. Excuse for a delay of my letter. But now I have such opportunity and I am glad, could write to you. I'm fine? How your affairs?

The beginning of new week and as her you will begin so she and will pass. I wish you that at you all was good. Lovely Steve.

I want to be the woman who you can inform that you worry about, your requirements and wishes. I am so happy, that I can feel open and trustful with you, write about my feelings and ideas. Ability to trust your partner, feeling, that spiritual affinity is the most important thing in relations. If you ask, that who - informed that sincerely, than he, kindness, sincerity, all features which allow you to trust this person. Everyone should love, so why that misunderstanding happens so frequently?

What incredibly successful woman - I to have you in my life! This rainy morning seems bright and solar for me, you know why? As the sun - inside my heart. Sometimes I imagine us having dinner romantic with the lit candles, beautiful soft music arrives directly to your soul, and your warm sincere smile fills in my heart tenderness. I love warm summer nights about the sea party when pale lunar hours from height, and it seems, understands all romantic beloved. We sit in cafe on coast, a roar of a surf, solar stars, flickering in darkness do an environment of an improbable relaxation. We investigate eyes each other, only you and I, and, anything other does not matter. I like to divide my dreams with you, it is possible once they will come true. I want to know, that I am necessary for whom - that in this huge world. I want to live a happy life, instead of rich. As among rich there are many unsuccessful people, and them it - sincerely pity. It - everything, that I want. Whether to become ready you for me my prince and to love me? The way to my heart is in sincere and tender feelings. I am very happy, that we have found each other. I want to speak you Greetings, a smile and to kiss you gentle. And when walk, having joined hands also enjoys the friend the friend.

I've yet to find a pre built theme that is not bloated... maybe if we go back like 6 years. Nowadays, themes are swiss army knifes and can even do your laundry. For this reason, I always start with a modified version of underscores that I've built (stripped down and bootstrapped with my SCSS framework) and helper PHP functions I always use.

*** end of update
These notes have been retrieved from the Professor Whitestick Archives as I was discussing walking groups for the visually impaired with some friends recently and had made contact with interested groups on Twitter. These are some short walks which can be made with friends and an amenable car driver. These walks can be arranged to suit most capabilities and as the name suggests, the more "interesting" Scottish summer weather gives an extra input with the sound of the wind, rain, squelching boots in mud and rivers in full torrent.
The area covered is Midlothian, which lies to the south of
. The main town is Dalkeith and while public transport connections to it are good, some country connections become more difficult; hence the need for a car. Please see update for changes to bus services in the area. Edinburgh
Dalkeith is a pleasant, though rather overlooked, country town. The town featured in Scotland's agricultural past as well as in the mineral extraction industries. The High Street has been recently modernised and with a by-pass of its own, the traffic is less of a problem.
In the High Street, there is an historic Scottish church, St Nicholas Church. This kirk has an attractive teashop attached to it.
St Nicholas Church

The Corn Exchange, which reflects the former wealth and political influence of the town. Gladstone was the MP. The Corn Exchange is still in a rather sorry state and is again under redevelopment, probably as housing. What appears to be the Buccleuch arms can be detected on the front of the building. An amateur described this field with grand quarters with a mix of blazon/emblazon, one can sense an illegitimate descent from King Charles II (Baton sinister), the Royal arms of Douglas (heart with a crown) and probably the arms of Scott - not sure about Montague. The Dukes of Buccleuch have the estate at Dalkeith Palace, which can be accessed along the end of the High Street. The heir to the Duke of Buccleuch is known as the Earl of Dalkeith.
The Corn Exchange
High Street, Dalkeith
26 July 2012
The dates of these walks are recorded with some comments on the local weather at the time. The weather in the summer of 2011 was variable and my twitter feed at the time mentioned the Scottish words such as dreich and drookit. Names of nearest towns and villages as well as proximity to main roads have been added and a search engine will tell you of any other attractions near the area with applicable opening times. It is always worth visiting the local library services as they are a good source of local historical and natural science information.
Much of the area to the south and east of
has been reclaimed from industries such as coal mining and papermaking. New parks have been made and previously polluted rivers have been cleaned up. Heritage museums have sprung up such as the Edinburgh in Newtongrange and the Preston Grange centre in Prestonpans. Old railways have been converted to cycle ways and walkways and many of the historic bridges can still be crossed on foot or at least viewed from a short distance. The trunk roads such as A1, A68 and A7 are never far away and the city by pass can be heard in Scottish Mining Museum and Park. Dalkeith Palace
Open access rules are different in
and the concept of trespass is alien to many Scots (The Lord's Prayer refers to Forgiving our Debts rather than trespasses, something to do with Banking no doubt). Information about Ranger services and fishing rights can be obtained from the local amenity provider. Many of the houses, castles and old churches are popular as wedding venues and the Scotland has a sideline in funeral teas. Mining Museum

Preston Hall
Preston Hall is a private house and the grounds are accessible from a local road from Pathhead on the A68. The setting is by the River Tyne and the house and grounds stand on the right bank of the Tyne with

Preston Hall's grounds have a fine collection of trees, especially monkey puzzles which I found standing out on my peripheral vision. The bark of these trees is interesting to touch. The house can be seen from the south and north and is open on some days of the year.
The Lion Gate - Preston Hall

The Lion gates are impressive as you enter the grounds and there are many walks in the grounds. Take care with the livestock and the cattle grids if you are crossing them on foot. While you might enchant your friends with an extempore xylophone recital you could end up with a snagged cane, stick or even foot!
7 August 2011 Crichton Collegiate Church
It had been raining for a few days and the local rivers,
Tyne and Esk, with their tributaries were flowing rapidly. The lies between the A68 and A7 and can be reached by several country roads. There is car parking space near the church and it is a walk through some moor land to village of Crichton in a hilly setting between the two rivers. At school this was studied as an example of river capture much in the tracks outlined by James Hutton in his theories of geology which went against the grain of accepted belief in the age of the earth derived from the Bible. Crichton Castle
Collegiate Churches were endowed before the Reformation for the purposes of saying prayers for the soul of the departed. The church was in the control of the Church of Scotland as the parish
, though the church has been transferred to a trust. church of Crichton

I attended a Palm Sunday service in this church a few years ago with my father and I have many memories of family trips to this church and nearby
(an Historic Scotland property). Crichton Castle
At the door I was welcomed by Fiona from the Friends of Crichton Collegiate Church and have been signed up as a friend. When we were there, there was a group of singers singing a capella in the Taize style. A newsletter mentions Catholic baptism as a novelty since becoming ecumenical and although the church can be hired as a location for weddings there had been no Catholic weddings since the Reformation. I commented on this to a Catholic friend who muttered something about income streams which I could not understand. A similar tale was told at
where prospective couples were being shown the facilities including a wedding chapel. Dalhousie Castle
The Collegiate Church has beautiful acoustics and concerts are held here. There are also a variety of publications and souvenirs on sale. The graveyard is worth a visit to explore the family names.

If you are going to the castle the walk is just about suitable along a track and a long cane should cope with it. I have had no problems at the castle.
has many attractions in addition to a stunning setting. There is an interesting Italian style wall decoration in the keep and though the Crichton family had a power base here at the time of James II of Crichton Castle it also has connections with Bothwell and Mary Queen of Scots. The castle is exposed to the elements and stout shoes and waterproofs should be worn, just in case. Scotland
Newbattle Abbey
Not far is Newbattle Abbey, situated south of Dalkeith and an important part of Scottish history. The Abbey was influential in the Middle Ages and the monks were enterprising in coal mining. The Abbey has had a chequered past and is part of the
. During the 2nd World War my mother had been stationed here. Esk Valley College
Access to the interior is limited to organised groups though the grounds have an Italian styled garden and on the day I visited the River South Esk had been threatening to burst its banks. There was a lot of noise coming from the river and the wind blowing through the trees along the river bank. The nearby church is also attractive from the exterior. My father used to take me fishing in the river round here though I do not recall catching anything.http://www.newbattleabbeycollege.ac.uk/heritage/
8 August 2011 Vogrie Park
Vogrie Park

I particularly enjoyed the walks around the house and on the day itself the sun appeared, bringing out the wasps. Boots or stout shoes are also advised for the walks. The sound of the many streams feeding the
Tyne makes for an interesting soundscape; when coupled with the rustling of the leaves from the trees it is a stunning sound picture, and with so much rain over the previous days the run off water made quite a sound!
In the walk from Vogrie House to the River Tyne, there is a circular tour taking in the Alderdean Burn with a few bridges to cross. The walk is quite hilly and care should be taken on the descent and in navigation near the confluence of the stream and river. Navigation by sound gets difficult at this point.
Vogrie House is a Gothic Pile and is worthy of a horror movie. Access is limited though there is an attractive café for coffees, teas and snacks. In the staircase there is a portrait of Magistrate MacFarlane Burn by Sir Henry Raeburn.
Vogrie House
© Professor Whitestick
The estate was owned by the Dewar family who had clay and coal mining interests. The nearby
was built for the estate. Vogrie lies between Cranstoun and Borthwick and the Dewars may have been distantly related to the whisky firm of same name. Dewar is derived from a Flemish or village of Dewarton Flanders name (like Seton, which will feature in a later post). After the money ran out, the house became a mental hospital from 1920 to 1963. From 1963 to 1972 it was used for civil defence afterwards reverting to the local authority.
There is a Golf course in the grounds so if you hear "Fore!" make sure you duck! There is also a miniature railway which runs on certain dates. The Cedar Tree café has a natural sun trap and covered area with picnic seating. The gardens are very attractive and there are walled gardens with fruit trees (apples and pears) and market garden produce. I could make out the espaliered fruit trees against a wall.
At the time of the visit, there was only a very limited bus service to the park with bus number 529 stopping on Sundays only with an hourly service between March and September.
Borthwick lies off the A7 and is south of Gorebridge near the
. Borthwick also has a famous church with memorials to the families associated with the parish. The church has joined the Tynewater group of churches and is now linked with Cranstoun and Crichton and other villages in the area. village of Middleton
Borthwick has a stunning double tower and I remember passing through the village when on hikes with the Scouts. Sunday trips always seemed to stop on the way out to the Borders with a detour round Borthwick. The country roads are rather narrow and hilly with barely any room for passing.
We stopped at the castle to make a few enquiries locally and were warmly received by Gail. We got chatting about Arniston and the other places I had been visiting. Borthwick has Mary Queen of Scots associations and is in the next valley to Crichton though Borthwick has been continuously occupied and is in private hands. It has a restaurant and some guest rooms and is a beautiful location for a function especially a wedding. I was telling this story to another chemistry PhD from
Edinburgh at a function in when he said that he had been married there (It's a small world)! London
The Great Hall is stunning and we were joined by David who told us about the present day activities of the castle and the history. In the Great Hall there is a painting in old style of Mary Queen of Scots by a local artist.

Just came back from Provence and Paris and while I'm writing a trip report and reviewing photos I just thought I'd bring some things to your attention.
Last week I started a thread describing my experiences with the Andrews Globe Trek Chip & PIN credit card. You can do a search for that one.
Today something else.
We stayed in three different hotels. For these charges I used a CapitalOne card since there's no foreign currency transaction fee.
A couple of days after returning I logged on to my CapitalOne account and saw the transactions. Interestingly they didn't show an exchange rate so I figued them out.
Two were ok but the third calculated to 1.305 when other purchases I made that day on a different card were shown as 1.26. Not big bucks but still about $30 US.
I called CapitalOne and they told me the transaction was put through in US dollars.
I emailed the hotel and told them I didn't notice it at the time of checkout and if I had I wouldn't have allowed it. In Europe it's Euros.
To my surprise they responded quickly and informed me they were under the impression the bank (?) they deal with was giving customers a good rate. The said they would investigate.
A couple of days later they responded and informed me that if I emailed them a copy of my credit card statement and some receipts that showed the Euro amount for tranactions on the exact same day the company that handles their transactions would refund me 150% of the difference.
I was quite surprised so I had my wife read the email and she read it the same way I did.
I sent what they asked for yesterday evening and received a response this morning that their financial instritution would refund my account the 150% (this was now indicated in actual dollars) withing 72 hours.
Of course, I don't have the credit yet but just wanted to let you know to look out for this additional "customer service".

Hotel Charge - US Dollar Transaction Currency
Just came back from Provence and Paris and while I'm writing a trip report and reviewing photos I just thought I'd bring some things to your attention.
Report Abuse
that is good service, well done for mentioning
Report Abuse
What a great comment..so unlike the negative ones to which we are so often exposed...I have always had good experiences with hotels/credit/flights etc. and will surely continue to do so..Mostly people who are patient, polite and have back up to complaints are usually treated with respect and cooperation..
Report Abuse
You've been the victim of a thing called Dynamic Currency Conversion.
The merchant is supposed to process the transaction in his currency, or offer you the choice between processing in yours and his.
Processing in yours almost always makes the merchant more money, but it isn't always clear whether failing to offer you the choice is because he's dishonest or because there's been a foulup if a poorly-briefed clerk handles the transaction. Some proprietors might not understand all this anyway.
In this case, it could be either.
Report Abuse
I was recently in London in a hotel I have used in the past. I told them specifically at check-out/bill settlement that I wanted the charge put through in GBP. The desk clerk responded that it couldn't be done. I was amazed at this response. I responded that if it was not done I would annotate the hotel's copy of the charge slip with the usual "refused to charge in local currency."
BINGO! The manager is summoned and what do you know? We suddenly learn just how to do it right.
What can be more difficult is when you rent a car (the whole thing was reportedly dreamed up by Hertz and a few others).
Hertz has the DCC thing, or they used to anyway, written into the contract they print out for you to sign. You have to be adamant about not allowing it and things can get messy. I've been threatened with a non-rental late at night at Heathrow but managed to have them see my way about it...was not easy.
Report Abuse
Eventually I'll ask the hotel why they put the transaction thru in US dollars. It appears they innocently thought it's a service and the exchange rate favorable to their customers.
We'll see if I actually get credited 150% of the difference. Or anything.
Report Abuse
Do a search here and on google about dynamic currency conversion and the lies merchants are taught to tell customers to make them fall for this scam although I agree with Flanneruk; sometimes clerks are poorly trained and not told the client has the option of optins out and that if the client screams, summon a manager.
Report Abuse
It is excellent that the hotel did the right thing -- but what is wrong is that you apparently signed a debit slip marked in USD. You must never do that when USD is not the currency of the country.
A Ramada hotel tried to do that to me in London (well, EUR instead of USD) and I refused when I saw the slip. So they did it properly.
Report Abuse
At least they did the right thing, but doing it in the first place without your permission was bogus and I'm sure they knew what they were doing (that they were getting some cut for doing that, or else why would they?)
Report Abuse
It was my fault for not checking closely. I was distracted.
We were out all day, wanted to pack for an early morning departure and then go out to dinner.
I was concentrating on the fact I wanted to pay part of the bill with remaining Euros and the remainder with the credit card. The clerk was having trouble even doing that. One clerk at the desk of a relatively small hotel.
The receipt showed the amount in Euros above and the dollar amount below. It actually did say beside the dollar amount "Transaction Currency".
But the clerk didn't tell me verbally or point out in some way what she was doing.
In the end, while they shouldn't have done it this way, it's my responsibility to check it over. I knew the number of Euros it should be and I stopped there.
My intention with this post isn't to pass on blame or accept it for myself. All I want to do is alert others.
Report Abuse
Just reporting back.
I was told I would be refunded 150% of the overcharge and it would be done within 72 hours.
I see the refund in my credit card account this morning.
Next time I'll be more careful checking my hotel charges while I'm checking out.
Report Abuse
Thank you for your alert.....but, no offense or anything like that meant, you're a bit late to the game. The scam of dynamic currency conversion has been written and spoken about here for years. The thing is it is spreading like a cancer metastasizing throughout much of the travelling world. Every hotel I stayed at during my recently concluded trip to Europe did ask me whether I wished to pay in local currency or in US dollars' at least they asked which they are required to do. I did not have any hassles on this although I was wort of prepared.
Again, just to summarize for everybody. Before signing any credit card charge, please check to see the only amount listed is in local currency. Should there be two currency amounts listed, one in the local currency and one in the currency of the credit card, then politely inform the clerk to void (not credit, this could be important) the transaction and do it properly in local cuyrrency. The clerk might or might give you some lies such as it can't be done, it's done automatically by the terminal (the terminal according to visa/mc rules must ask the clerk whether the customer wishes to pay in local currency or their currency, some terminals first spit out a slip with the information), the rate being used is a good rate or the infamous no speak English. Ifr they refuse to do so, ask to see the manager. If the manager still refuses to do so, do not pay cash. Rather circle the amount in local currency, cross out the amount in your currency and write local currency not offered and sign the slip. Tell the merchant you will be disputing the charge.
If that doesn't do the trick, so be it. When you get home, dispute the charge (although because of currency fluctuations in the interim, you may win or you may lose you have to check that)...your bank hopefully will charge the charge back to the merchant causing him a penalty for violating mc/visa rules or at the very least will refund you the difference.
One other point which you might care to use. Amex does not allow the scam although in general, they have a foreign transaction fee of 2.7% which is 2.7% higher than it should be. Also be aware if you use one of the large American credit card banks which impose foreign transaction fees, if you fall for the dynamic currency conversion scam, you'll be nicked for the fee anyway (it's a transaction fee not a conversion fee).
So I'm glad you got it resolvcd and hope your experience will alert others to this spreading scam.
Report Abuse
Just to clarify your comment about two different currencies appearing on a charge slip.
Some vendors still have their slip print out what used to be the equivalent in French Francs so that the locals could understand the "new fangled" Euro currency. Maybe they should update their software.
What xyx123 meant is a charge that shows Euros and then US dollars. Don't allow the US dollar amount to go unchallenged.
Report Abuse
Myer...I understand that and have seen such slips in France but I did say look out for a transaction in local currency and your currency; do bear in mind that the scam is not just pulled on Americans....Many Brits, for example, visiting Euroland have the scam perpetrated on them and as a matter of fact, many American merchants are beginning to pull the scam on visitors to the USA!
Report Abuse
Many Brits, for example, visiting Euroland have the scam perpetrated on them >>
we had this scam pulled on us once in Paris in March - again the transaction had gone through before I noticed they had entered £ not €, and it was not drawn to my attention before they handed me the machine.
i could have argued about it, but decided that for a total of €70 or so, it wasn't worth it.
it did make me a lot more vigilant for the rest of the trip.
my rule of thumb is this: if they were doing this for OUR benefit, they would tell us about it before they did it. the fact that almost invariably it's done before we spot it leads me to believe that they know very well it's a scam.
Report Abuse
Can you simply say, BEFORE they run the card, "Please be sure to run the charge through in Euros,"?? Would this then remove the potential for having to void the transaction and re-doing it? I am always leery of having someone void a transaction, they seem to end up just doing a "credit" and that would involve a secondary translation, n'est-ce pas?
Report Abuse
I will try to explain the difference and you're right..it does lead to a secondary translation and......if your bank is one that charges a foreign transaction fee. the fee is added to the purchase but subtracted from the credit...make sure it is a void and not a credit. (although you should not be using any credit card that charges a foreign transaction fee anyway but that's another story.
Report Abuse
You should realize by not, xyz, that I have my no fee Cap One CC along with my no fee Cap One ATM card, and my Andrews FCU chip card
Report Abuse
....in that case, in the interim between a charge and a credit, with a no foreign transaction fee card, you might make a little bit of money if the exchange rate changes in a positive way or lose . They are two sepaarate transactions as noted....in the case of using a credit card with a foreign transaction fee, and I don't understand why anybody ever would, if you credit a transaction, you lose 6% (the 3% fee added to the charge and the 3% fee subtracted from the credit). All the more reason to use a no foreign transaction credit card. <g>

yes of course, but that's a bit of a bore, isn't it? and what if they appear not to understand you and do it anyway?
a case of the customer being always wrong, i fear.

Since for most people the hotel is a major part of local expenses and happens only a few times during a trip, it makes sence to do what DebitNM suggests and always request in local currency in advance.
Report Abuse
good point, myer - i was thinking of restaurants, but with a big hotel bill, it would be worth specifying local currency when you are perusing the bill, not after they have charged your card.
Report Abuse
Myer - Thanks for bringing this up. It seems to be becoming more and more common and I'll certainly be more vigilant.
Report Abuse
s'il vous plaît assurez la charge en euros
s'il vous plaît exécuter la carte en euros

All true but I read on another travel board a modification of this scam.....when you check in to a hotel, they often give you a card with the information and ask you to sign it...sometimes buried in this when you sign it is a statement that you agree to pay in the currency of the credit card and when you check out and they hand you the charge slip, they claim you have already agreed to this swindle and it cannot be changed.

Just wondering if this happens more with large international chain hotels like Marriotts.
Out of curiosity, and because I thought I could have easily overlooked something like this, I looked back at our receipts from our France trip last fall and found no instance of this on our receipts from hotels and restaurants in Lyon, Annecy, various towns in Burgundy, Troyes, Reims and Paris. These hotels were medium-sized, non-chain (except for the Ibis in Reims).
Myer, if you don't want to specify which hotel was involved in your case, could you categorize it somehow? I am impressed with their response and happy they followed through with the promised refund.
Report Abuse
The hotel is not a secret.
Hotel Clement in Saint Germain des Pres.
The hotel was in an excellent location.
The wallpaper and carpets were somewhat dated and the room a little on the small side. We had an inside room (specified) so there was absolutely no noise (and of course no view). The hotel, room and bathroom were spotless. The bathroom had a new look and feel to it.
Ample space to unpack.
I would definitely stay there again (and specify on arrival that I insist being charged in Euros).
Once I complained about the charge they handled it very quickly.

Now isn`t that nice of them to provide such a service to unsuspecting visitors ..... http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1001611/global-payments-launches-homecurrencypaytm-to-provide-dynamic-currency-conversion-services-in-canada

...that's the message these crooks send out to merchants to get them to sign up for the scam. Nowhere is it mentioned they are ripping off the customers by using an exchange rate at least 5% above what the custgomer would pay if he allows mc/visa to do the conversion.

The son of top Nashville session bassist Bob Moore, R. Stevie Moore began doing his own one-man home recordings as a teenager. Over the course of three decades spent perfecting his technical, musical, lyrical and conceptual skills, Moore's omnivorous, individualistic pop blender has dug into his awesome — and seemingly bottomless — well of talent and produced, since 1981, several hundred tapes of his original work, self-released and sold exclusively via mail-order from the author's home studio in New Jersey. Since the early '80s, his scattered stream of vinyl and CD releases (all but two are imports) have nearly all been assembled, with little overlap, from his cassette-club tapes.
Suffice to say, aficionados of fertile pop imagination, resourceful home studio technique and more stylistic diversity than most record stores can offer are highly recommended to get with Stevie. Start anywhere, and be assured that if you like what you hear on any of the discs, there are countless hours more of equal quality where that came from. (To not overstate the case, it should be acknowledged that the albums favor the cream of the cassette crop, omitting the more esoteric ramblings, personal indulgences, sonic experiments and radio-show elements that find their way into Moore's handmade missives.) "Unsung hero" only touches on the injustice of obscurity for this wry, heartfelt artist whose limber genius, vitality and productivity make him a far more profound cultural asset than any number of next-big-things with maybe two good albums in 'em. Why no major label has ever signed him is one of the modern era's mysteries.

The epic final volume in the Century Trilogy.
As the decisions made in the corridors of power bring the world to the brink of oblivion, five families from across the globe are brought together in an unforgettable tale of passion and conflict during the Cold War.
When Rebecca Hoffmann, a teacher in East Germany, finds herself pursued by the secret police, she discovers that she has been living a lie. Her younger brother, Walli, longs to escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain to become part of the burgeoning music scene.
In the United States, George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration, is a fierce supporter of the Civil Rights movement - as is the woman he is in love with, Verena, who works for Martin Luther King, Jr. Boarding a Greyhound bus in Washington to protest against segregation, they begin a fateful journey together.
Russian activist, Tania Dvorkin, narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news sheet. Her actions are made all the more perilous as her brother, Dimka, is a rising star in the heart of the Communist Party in the Kremlin.
From the deep south of America to the vast expanses of Siberia, from the shores of Cuba to the swinging streets of '60s London, Edge of Eternity is a sweeping tale of the fight for individual freedom in a world gripped by the mightiest clash of superpowers anyone has ever known.
"The true historical events are probably the most exciting bits to read, because Follett always gives his puppet eye-witnesses an excellent vantage point from which to recount them." (Private Eye)

A great ending to the trilogy
History comes alive
The fact that everything is based on true events and has real characters intermixed with the fictional characters make everything real.
He has so many voices and accents to deal with that I had thought there was a few narrators. John Lee does a great job and his voice is historically realistic.
So many moments that were front page news, are part of this story. The story is the history of the whole world but is about families and individuals.
I have been waiting for this third instalment for years. So far it has lived up and beyond all my expectations.
- leonie
good but downhill from the first one.
As part of the century trilogy the book continues to put the main characters in the midst of the most important events on the XX century, however the tone and the characters themselves are less alluring than the characters from book 1 or even book 2.
Hearing the context for Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech was awesome, I really enjoyed that part.
John Lee gives an amazing performance, be on the lookout for this and other works by him, his female characters are good enough but Fitz in his old age is amazing.
There are several, this is a must read book if you initiated the trilogy and it's a good enough standalone book.
It is somewhat sad to see beloved characters pass away from old age, the book could have been more emotional on those parts.

Butter Lettuce with Gorgonzola and Dates
Gorgonzola dolce, a cow's milk cheese from Piedmont and Lombardy in Italy, is milder and creamier than the more commonly available gorgonzola naturale, which is aged for a longer period. If you can't find it, substitute another mild blue cheese.
For the vinaigrette:
- 3 Tbs. hazelnut oil
- 1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head butter lettuce, leaves torn into large pieces
- 3 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 3 oz. (90 g) gorgonzola dolce, crumbled
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbs. coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts
To make the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the hazelnut oil, vinegar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a grinding of pepper.
Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl. Scatter the dates, gorgonzola and onion over the lettuce. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle the hazelnuts over the top and serve immediately. Serves 4.

After watching The Time Traveler's Wife last weekend I decided to make a list of the best Flashback Friday time travel romances to feed the addiction.
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
What would the list be without the book that sparked the movie? First, I have to say I loved this book (and movie) because at its core it's the story of the romance between two people. They have ups, downs, fights and make-ups. Audrey just throws the small (hah!) aspect of time travel into the mix. Brief summery… Henry is a librarian born with a condition called Chrono-Displacement Disorder … basically, he time travels back and forth without control. He meets Clare (his love) when she is 6, then over the course of a lifetime they fall in love and grow. The story was so interesting because readers get to see both characters' points of view and the ages are always different. When they meet, though, Clare is 6, he's in his 30s, and at the end, she is old while he is younger. For contemporary fans looking for a bit of paranormal spice (and, of course, tears), I'd pick this up.
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
This was my first Highlander novel and not my last (I've lost count after 20 or so). Diana is such a good author, and the romance is steamy. Clair is a former combat nurse who is thrown through time on her second honeymoon … she finds herself in Scotland right in the midst of a war. Even though this is a monster of a book (it's huge, people), it's great. It's the first in the Outlander series, and I feel as though Diana's books get even more refined and better as the series goes on. WARNING: Readers who do not like a tiny bit of S&M (yea, that's tiny for me) and a rape scene at the end, not to mention slight (depends on how you look at it) adultery will not like this book. So for those of you looking for something less potentially upsetting, check below.
The series:
Dragonfly in Amber
Drums of Autumn
The Fiery Cross
Breath of Snow and Ashes
An Echo in the Bone
Written in My Own Heart's Blood
Beyond the Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning
I had to put a KMM book in here because she is one fantastically steamy author. I have all her Highlander books (I did mention 20ish, right?), and the first still holds a place in my heart. A vengeful Fae (yum) has tossed Adrienne into medieval Scotland and directly into the path of Hawk. There's a bit of a yes-no-yes thing going on, but when they get together … well, KMM writes the best bedroom scenes. The scene where Adrienne meets her "future husband" for the first time is great, and honestly who doesn't like Adam Black? I'd recommend this entire series for romance lovers and Highlander chasers alike.
The series:
Beyond the Highland Mist
To Tame a Highland Warrior
The Highlander's Touch
Kiss of the Highlander
The Dark Highlander
The Immortal Highlander
Spell of the Highlander (another favorite!)
Into the Dreaming

Gen Z, post-millennials, centennials, whatever you call them, the first cohort – now aged 16-19 years old – are starting to pose some challenges for marketers. Compared to previous generations, Kantar Millward Brown research has found Gen Z are more difficult to engage, are extremely design conscious, and have high expectations of advertising, especially digital.
It's all too easy to see the problem as binary: "A new mobile-first generation is changing the world" versus "You can't define people just on their age". While there is truth to both sides, the overall picture is more complex. In order to get a better understanding of Gen Z and to compare them with Gens Y and X, Kantar Millward Brown surveyed more than 23,000 16-49 year old consumers across 39 countries.
AdReaction: Engaging Gen X, Y and Z highlights that Gen Z have grown up in an on-demand world of infinite choice, and this flavours their expectations of advertising. They are more difficult to engage; among people who skip ads, they skip three seconds faster per ad on average than Gen X. All generations prefer short videos, but Gen Z like ads less than 10 seconds even more than previous generations, while Gen X is more tolerant of videos up to 20 seconds.
An extremely design-conscious consumer, Gen Z will take note of an ad's aesthetic qualities and appreciate the use of new immersive formats like Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Innovation in formats like native ads, sponsored lenses and sponsored filters all attract much stronger approval with Gen Z than other age groups.
Despite their digitally dominated media consumption, Gen Z can still be impressed by traditional media. While they spend less time with traditional (51% watch an hour or more of TV a day compared to 74% for Gen X), Gen Z are consistently more positive about ad formats such as outdoor, print ads and cinema, TV and radio ads than standard digital alternatives.
Gen Z are slightly more likely to have installed ad blocking software on desktop than older consumers (31% vs 30% for Gen Y and 22% for Gen X) but they are no more likely to have installed a mobile ad blocking app (13% vs 14% for Gen Y and 12% for Gen X).
No generation is a monolith and Gen Z is no exception. Their upbringing, expectations and access to technology, however, has created a range of attitudes and behaviours that will challenge marketers. Only where brands take all this into consideration will they be successful in engaging this increasingly critical and fast-emerging group of consumers.

The perennial priority of any business is growth. But today that challenge is harder than ever and with a smaller margin for error.
Social media advertising is a good way to create long-term brand impact, boosting metrics such as brand awareness and association.
According to Kantar TNS's latest Connected Life research, brands still have work to do to build trust in digital channels.


text: MODS if this is the wrong spot SORRY feel free to message me or move it! Hi Guys I just checked my private messages and realized its been almost 4 years since I logged on here last!...some of you might remember me I'm not sure if this is the right place, or if there is a specified section for somthing like this now a days. I've picked up a horrible bicycle habit to go along with my glock addiction and have branched out into making accessories. I have a kickstarter project that I started to try and get a messenger bag line up and running made from recycled bicycle inner tubes. i was figuring if I had enough glock/bike guys interested I could add a small holster retention strap inside so that you could clip a holster inside the bag. Check it out and support me if ya can and if you want an internal gun pocket added I think I can come up with something that will work. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1585859857/repurposed-bicycle-inner-tube-small-messenger-bag
