This shop is filled with adorable little pendants. This Tweetheart piece is perfect for anyone, but especially us twitter geeks.
That's right, this is your official reminder that Valentine's day is on the way. Although the fella and I don't really celebrate it, I know some of you out there are pretty sweet on the big day. Or have a significant other who is and expects a shiny gift or two.
The pieces in the Katy Scudieri Art Jewelry Etsy shop are perfect. Unique, made from solid sterling silver or karat gold and so much variety you'll be hard pressed not to find something for your loved one.
Prices range from $25-$400 so there's something for everyone's wallet. Head on over and check out the necklaces, earrings, bracelets and words. The big day is just around the corner!
I can tell you first hand that these pieces are really gorgeous. That top photo was taken by me because the lovely Lauren was kind enough to send along a prototype of her wire cuff!I honestly thought the wire would scratch and/or be too flimsy and bend, but I was way wrong. I wore it all day to test it out and it didn't scratch me or fall out of shape.
The bracelets and ring below that? Well I'm happy to announce I get to giveaway a set of the Black Tie (cuff and ring) to you in celebration of her Etsy shop opening!
I've seen a lot of knit beaded jewelry before, but I have to say Lauren has really mastered the art and created something truly unique. The pieces are durable, comfortable and she really has a knack for color combinations. (I'm drooling a little over that Volcano cuff pictured bottom right).
Lapis Beach on Etsy is barely one week old today and it's already off to a running start with a sale before the opening could even be announced. So be sure to enter the giveaway to win a set for yourself, but don't forget to head over to her shop too. These one of a kind pieces are sure to move fast!
I mean, have you ever seen anything like 'em?
The little girls you see are engraved on sterling silver plates…and yes, they do move by the way, adding an even more interesting element. They're only 0.62 inch long and 0.43 wide making them a lot more delicate than they seem.
And what do you pay for such a unique piece of jewelry? Only $42!
Of course, as I mentioned earlier, there's much more to be seen in this shop. More pendants, earrings, rings and cufflinks!
So go check it out already!
I know, weird right?
What I love about the beautiful designs in the Sea Find Design's shop is the range from simple to intricate. I have a preference for a piece like the necklace on top, but also "ooh" and "aah" over the detailed, sterling silver casings the designer creates.
And as you can see, it doesn't stop at jewelry. There's also vases like the one pictured above and other gorgeous treats for your home.
With prices ranging from $15-$150, there's definitely something for everyone. So if you can't make it to the beach this summer or just don't feel like seeking out your own piece of sea glass, it looks like you've found the right place!
It's my birthday this Friday and I figured this would be a good week to showcase some of the Etsy treats I want all for myself, including some I've featured this year already. I've narrowed it down to five, but I gotta tell you…I could have gone on forever!
Ladder Earrings from the mu urban jewelry shop.
2.5 inches long made of Sterling Silver
I had the hardest time picking any one thing from this shop. I truly love everything there! Check out these totally unique rings and pendants!
Previously featured tees from the ellembee shop!
100% cotton screenprinted tees
I looove the "shirley bird" (pictured) prints at ellembee but really, I dont think you could go wrong with any of the tops in this shop!
Brushed Wide Band ring from the Adorn Modern Designs shop.
Sterling silver
For years I have wanted a big, fat sterling silver ring for my pointer finger. Until Etsy, I had no luck finding the right one. Now I want one for every finger….
Previously featured recycled bottle glasses from Nick Paul's shop.
6 for $60 or 2 for $20
Reformed beer and soda bottles
I really do need new glasses. Why would I go buy a boring set when I could have these? Plus, I'm like totally saving the environment.
Dollhouse kit from the Victorian Dollhouse shop.
Laser cut Baltic Birch wood
I know, this one may seem a little weird, but I've been a little obsessed about having a dollhouse lately. Not only as a unique centerpiece, but for some photography ideas I've had floating around in my head lately!
Kathy uses her background in art and jewelry classes to carefully create and compose each piece of jewelry. Her mediums of choice are plastic bottles and aluminum cans which makes every piece really light weight, even the larger ones.
The bracelet you see above is made out of a 2 liter soda bottle and each circle was cut completely by hand (as with every piece)! Best part? Only $11!
The earrings on the right are cut from a plastic bottle, measure just over 2 3/4″ long and 1 1/2″ at the widest point. These? Only $10!
In fact, almost everything in the store is under $15 so you really can't lose here. Oh, and she also uses recycled materials (magazine, food boxes, brown paper bags) as packaging and shipping material, so this is truly an earth friendly shop.
The "Pod" on the left is the first piece I saw. Made of silver and freshwater pearls, and as the creator says, "It's classic, subtle, and tailored to work beautifully for several occasions." Also, it's customizable. You can have up to 5 pearls! (Just give them some extra time to make the order). Would you believe it's only $48?
The necklace on the right, "Nesting Instincts", is the second piece that caught my eye as I scanned the amazing shop. The shop owner says, "It just wants a good home and to provide you with inspiration." You know how I love inspiration. It's features "3 speckled eggs" inside a nest of antique brass wire and it's only….$30!. As with the "Pod", each one is made to order and totally unique!
Don't stop at these two though, you have to see the rest. Check out this customizable guitar pick pendant, this adorable felted acorn pendant, the funny "Master of Disguise" mustache necklace (check out how you can wear it!) and this beautiful Honeycomb pendant. It doesn't stop there so be sure to view the shop!
So, what's your favorite piece?
There's still plenty of time to get your orders in for the holidays and what better surprise than these totally unique and customized pieces of jewelry? The best part? They're both under $50!The necklace on the left is called the Hammered Moon Secret Poetry Necklace ($35). The pendant is made of sterling silver and has been hammered out for texture and to create it's interesting domed shape. The words are meant to be worn on the back (hence "secret poetry"), but of course you can flip it if that's more your style. You can have your own 37 character customized saying inscribed! (Heads up, the creator says only periods may be used as punctuation).
The bangle ($48) on the right is also customizable up to 100 characters. Want more? Delias Thompson also offers a two-sided bangle! This bracelet measures 2.5″ in diameter, but if that's not the right size they'll happily make one to fit.
Because of the customization, they need 7-10 days to process the order so get to shopping!
The rest of the Delias Thompson shop has some absolutley stunning jewelry, so don't stop at these two beauties. Check out the rest!
Today I thought it only appropriate to do a "black Friday sale" search on Etsy and this shop was one of the first to pop up. We all know it's one of those years when unique, handmade and cheap are a must for most of us during the holidays and though this shop might not have the cheapest stuff in the world, one of Below 14th's amazing handmade pendants would be present enough for me.I had a hard time picking one to feature, I truly love everything in the shop, but when I saw this birdcage and then saw how big it actually is (photo on the right), I fell instantly in love. It's made entirely by hand out of 20 gauge silver wire with a "delicate copper heart" hanging in the middle. All that work for only $76 sounds like a bargain to me.
Oh, and it comes with the chain.
Everything at the Below 14th shop is handmade. Including this awesome and truly unique Hangman pendant made out of sterling silver, this Classic Tattoo pendant, this beautiful silver cuff, a Dali inspired pendant and way more.
Oh, and like I said, it's all on sale for Black Friday so go snatch 'em up fast! Prices vary in the shop, so chances are you'll find something that suits your budget.

Stavanger, Norway
The European Oil and Gas Capital
Christine Sagen Helgo
Mayor, City of Stavanger [ + ]
The Stavanger region is Norway's third largest region with more than 300,000 inhabitants. Stavanger's oil adventure began in 1969 with the discovery of oil in the southern North Sea field, Ekofisk. Since then, the town has transformed from an industrial trading town with a rich agricultural hinterland into an energy centre.
As Europe's oil and gas capital, Stavanger now houses all major international operators, around 280 oil service companies, all the main suppliers along with Norway's official administrative centre for the petroleum industry. Both the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway are located here. This convergence of industry players has resulted in one of the strongest energy clusters in the world.
Half of the Entire Norwegian Oil and Gas Industry Concentrated in One Region
Some 45,000 people in our area are employed in the petroleum sector – the equivalent of half the people working in Norway's entire oil and gas industry. Once every second year the city also welcomes the global oil, gas and energy industry to one of the world's leading energy meeting places, ONS.
The World's Offshore Laboratory
The Norwegian Continental shelf is a challenging petroleum exploration and production area; hence it has become an international testing ground for new technology.
Stavanger nurtures a strong research and development environment anchored around the university and numerous research centres developing cutting edge technology in several fields, such as, remote operations, underwater operations and drilling.
The research community is strongly supported by several financial players providing venture capital for establishing and developing companies specializing in new technology for the oil and gas business.
The Future Looks Bright
Norway has been one of the largest oil and gas exporters in the world for a number of years. It still has resources to make it a substantial oil producer for another 50 years. We will be an important gas nation for at least another century, estimated to provide up to 1/3 of Europe's gas needs in the near future.
Energy facts about the Stavanger region:
Stavanger is Europe's Energy Capital
Home of StatoilHydro headquarters
Home of the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate
Half of the total Norwegian oil and gas industry is located in the Stavanger region
Energy facts about Norway:
Sixth largest oil producer in the world
Third largest oil exporter in the world
Total oil and gas resources: 13 billion boe
Produced to date: 2.7 billion boe
20% produced – 80 % reserves
The Norwegian petroleum industry has a long-term perspective
Norway plans to become the primary UK gas supplier through new and existing Pipelines
In coming years, Norway will supply approximately 25 % of Europe's gas requirements
Annual investments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf is estimated to approximately USD 22 billion
All of Norway's electricity needs come from hydroelectric power

Dominic Cusano Obituary & Service Information
ORONO, Maine -- The University of Maine Black Bear Football program would like to extend its condolences to the family and friends of Dominic Cusano following his passing on Sunday, March 9.
"All of us are saddened to learn of the death of Dominic Cusano," commented head coach Jack Cosgrove. "Our prayers go out to his father David, mother Zoraida and brothers David, a member of our 2001-02 Atlantic 10 championship team, and Pasquale. We all have a special memory of Dom. Under-recruited because he was undersized, Dom played bigger than he was. His achievements at the University of Maine as a student-athlete were exemplary. He earned our utmost respect through his competitive nature. He greatly impacted 'Black Bear Football' during his time here."
Cusano, 26, played in 30 games with the Black Bears from 2007-2011. He recorded 104 tackles, eight pass breakups, one interception and also competed in track and field. Cusano graduated in May 2010 with a degree in kinesiology and physical education prior to earning his Masters of Education in kinesiology and physical education in 2012. Cusano received the Presidential Achievement award in the fall of 2009 and attained a scholar-athlete silver medallion.
Cusano, born Nov. 5, 1987 to David and Zoraida Cusano, came to the University of Maine from Wallingford, Conn. where he played football for coach John Ferrazzi at Sheehan high school while earning all-league and all-state honors. Cusano is survived by two brothers, Dave and Pasquale. His older brother, Dave, played football at the University of Maine from 1999-2002 and graduated in 2003 while earning first team All-Atlantic 10 honors.

There has been some controversy surrounding the therapeutic use of cannabidiol (CBD). The non-psychoactive cannabinoid CBD has gained a great deal of popularity among people interested in natural wellness. Recent research supports the positive benefits of CBD for many aspects of health. Cannabidiol is a phytocannabinoid which has therapeutic properties for many disorders which are exerted via molecular mechanisms that have yet to be completely identified, reported the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
In some experimental models CBD acts as an agent in many manners such as:
1: Anti-inflammatory
2: Anticonvulsant
3: Anti-oxidant
4: Anti-emetic
5: Aanxiolytic
6: Antipsychotic
CBD therefore is a potential medicine for the treatment of various conditions including:
1: Neuroinflammation
2: Epilepsy
3: Oxidative injury
4: Vomiting and nausea
5: Anxiety
6: Psychosis
It is believed that CBD will one day be recognized as being a very valuable medicine reports Harborside Health Center. Many of the medical benefits of cannabis are produced by CBD. And CBD suppresses or balances the psychoactive effects which are seen with THC.
CBD has been found to be a very powerful preventive and curative medicine for many very serious diseases including cancer, epilepsy, and Alzheimer's. CBD is also a really good alternative for people who feel cannabis is too strong or who want to enjoy the therapeutic effects of cannabis without its psychoactive properties.
When Harborside became the first dispensary to lab test cannabis it was discovered there was an extreme shortage of CBD in the available supply of medicine. With an interest in making certain patients who needed CBD were able to obtain it Harborside launched a breeding and cultivation program to increase the amount of CBD rich medicine which is available.
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid which has been shown to be particularly advantageous to help promote and support the dietary health of aging bodies by behaving as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent, and neuroprotectant. People seeking good health and wellness can now purchase different series of CBD oil and CBD-rich products. Such products include cosmetics and shampoo for shiny hair with fresh resilience along with cremes to promote silky smooth skin, oils for interior and exterior application and dietary supplements.
Although there have been efforts to promote CBD as a therapeutic agent knowledge of this agent among the general public appears limited. An awareness of the many potential health benefits of CBD should encourage more clinicians and patients to give consideration to its value in the health marketplace.

How to Cram Beijing in 3 DaysShanghai, Fall 2009
[gallery link="file" order="DESC"] Day 1: After checking into the Tiananmen Sunrise Hostel, we began our Beijing experience at a well-known restaurant, Quan Jude Roast Duck, which is famous for its Beijing Kao Ya. Although it was a little pricey, the duck was definitely worth it! Happy and very full, we then strolled along Wangfujing--a popular shopping street--and explored the Wangfujing Xiao Fan Jie (Snack Street). Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I wasn't feeling very adventurous or else I would have tried the fried scorpion, starfish, seahorse, or even cockroach! Still, it was exciting to just explore the city. Afterwards, it was getting pretty late, but we decided to just pass by Tian'anmen Square. The area seemed very ominous while walking on a nearly empty street on a foggy night with birds eerily flying above. Day 2: We woke up extremely early to get a head start for the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. At first, I was a little disappointed because the fog and clouds were blocking the outline of the Great Wall. But soon, the sun came out and the fog cleared to reveal a breathtaking sight. After a couple of hours walking along the wall, we returned to Beijing and visited Tian'anmen Square again, this time during the day. Without the night fog and birds, the public square still felt eerie. The next place we walked to was another, cleaner snack street. Here, I tried a burrito-like snack with vegetables and a sweet fruit juice with dry ice bubbling inside. After this small dinner, we went to the Liyuan Theatre and experienced a Beijing Opera. We had our own table with tea and snacks, which enhanced the theatre experience. To end our night, we took the subway to see the Olympic National Stadium in the Olympic Park and relaxed at a bar (Lush) and music club (D-22) that our Resident Adviser recommended. This Wudaokou area in northwest Beijing features many bars and clubs and is a popular hangout spot for college students. Despite our tired bodies, we just had to check it out! Day 3: With time running out in Beijing, I decided to wake up early again to explore the city as much as I could. I walked around the Hutong where our hostel was located and watched people practice tai chi and play a badminton-like game in a small park. After that, I made my way to the Temple of Heaven, which was absolutely gorgeous. The park surrounding the Temple of Heaven was also filled with people in action. From dancing to playing games to exercising, this park was bustling with activities and life. As our trip came to a close, we visited the Forbidden City, which was full of many temples, statues, and ancient Chinese artifacts. Then, I happily returned to Shanghai, exhausted, sore, and still in shock that I managed to cram Beijing in 3 days.

Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer (1994)
'Paul Revere's Ride' is a superbly written historical account of the American legend Paul Revere. His life and character are explained in depth and his story is fluently blended with the general context of the revolution. Surprisingly, the actual "midnight ride" was only a small fraction of this man's contribution to the revolution. Fischer describes how Revere was an influential community leader in Boston well before his legendary ride. I was also surprised to learn that Revere was at the heart of the rebellion in New England, and was instrumental in organizing the resistance. He was notorious among the British, who viewed him as a dangerous rabble-rouser. He was also a skilled artisan as well as a devout Christian. Revere was a product of Puritan New England and it seems that he and his peers-which included Sam Adams and John Hancock-had more of a sense of divine mission than their counterparts in the south. Taken from page 175:
"For these men, the revolutionary movement was itself a new Puritanism-not precisely the same as the old, but similar in it's long memories and large purposes. Like the old Puritans who had preceded them, these new Puritans were driven by an exalted sense of mission and high moral purpose in the world. They also believed that they were doing God's work in the world, and that no earthly force could overcome them."
Some critics have questioned whether some of the information in this book is mere speculation. While I cannot say if this is true not, I can say with the utmost certainty that Paul Revere contributed much more to the American Revolution than has previously been attributed to him, and that this book is the definitive work that proves it. Highly recommended.

The Chang'e-1 --ProjectChina's Lunar Exploration Program(Ⅱ)
Chief Commander for Chang'e Program, Luan Enjie
The U.S. is the leader in deep space exploration. Apart from Pluto for which no touching exploration has been made, all the planets in the solar system have been preliminarily probed by mankind. Generally speaking, lunar exploration can be divided into three major stages, i.e. automatic exploring, human landing and, finally, staying (living). The U.S. has succeeded in the first two stages, and its current lunar program is primarily focused on the third stage, or the "staying (living)" stage, i.e. developing and launching automatic or man-tended lunar staying devices, or creating conditions for crews to live, to work and to conduct experiments, so as to perform scientific activities on the lunar surface.
Based on the current conditions, we think that a realistic approach should be taken in selecting our goals. The guiding principle should be to focus on "automatic exploring" at first, in doing so to gradually accumulate knowledge and experience step by step, and to timely improve our launch vehicle capacity to meet the requirements of future deep space exploration efforts. By this way we have formed China's lunar exploration program that features three milestones, i.e. "orbiting", "landing" and "returning".
Orbiting – Chang'e-1, a lunar orbiting spacecraft, will be launched.
Landing – A spacecraft will be launched to deploy a lunar lander for surface exploration in a limited area on the moon.
Returning – On the basis of the lander mission, a lunar sample return mission will be implemented.
Phase 1 of the program, or the Chang'e-1 lunar orbiter project, was initiated in 2004. With key technical problems solved and a prototype model developed, the project moved into flight model production in 2006. If everything goes well, the Chang'e-1 orbiter is expected to be launched in 2007.
Spacecraft Platform: The platform is based on the one used for the DFH-3 communications satellite. Mature technologies and experiences from related satellite missions have been fully inherited and utilized. In terms of technical configuration, Chang'e-1 is actually a new spacecraft. And we have had a stronger sense of this along with the progress of the development work.
Launch Vehicle: The LM-3A launch vehicle, which is primarily designed to launch satellites based on the DFH-3 platform, has been selected to launch Chang'e-1. LM-3A has succeeded in all of its nine flights, seven of which have been made for satellites based on the DFH-3 platform. For the Chang'e-1 mission, the launch vehicle has been adapted in many areas. Particularly, major efforts have been made to improve its reliability, with redundant designs used on a number of critical links.
Launch Site System: Chang'e-1 will be launched at Xichang Satellite Launch Center, a launch site for China's geosynchronous satellites. The launch center has been modified in many areas to adapt it to the requirements of a lunar mission, especially in safety and reliability.
TT&C System: The TT&C System has been formed based on China's existing TT&C bases and instrumentation ships for space missions. To improve orbital measurement accuracy and provide redundant means for TT&C, astronomical Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) will be used for the first time in China to provide right ascension and declination needed for orbital measurement and determination of Chang'e-1.
Ground Application System: The so-called Ground Application System refers to the system responsible for Chang'e-1 downlink data reception, science data processing and study and in-orbit operation of the spacecraft.

Liverpool FC Ladies manager Matt Beard declared himself satisfied with the 3-0 pre-season win over Manchester City at the weekend but warned his players there is a lot of hard work ahead before the start of the 2013 Women's Super League season.
Beard has revolutionised the squad this season as he bids to put the Reds ladies on the map and competing at the top end of the women's game.
Getting to the top is going to take time but the ladies have recruited well during the close season with top stars arriving from abroad and closer to home.
In their first pre-season outing at the weekend new signings Fara Williams and Nicole Rosler were on the mark, and Beard admitted it was an encouraging start.
Beard said: "It's been a disrupted first week as a group due to the weather but I have been pleased how things have gone so far.
"The players have bonded well and the atmosphere in training has been great.
"The most important thing is that I'm very pleased with the fitness levels and that showed in our game against Man City.
"It was a good exercise for me just to see how the players have understood our messages in training and to see how they are settling in to the system we want to play.
"We had a great start with Fara scoring direct from a free-kick which helped settle us down. After that we played some good football.
"There is plenty for us to work on, we still have Louise Fors to join the squad now that the Australian season has finished.
"With every pre-season game we play I will be looking for improvements right the way across the board.
"I understand as do the players that it is going to take time for things to fall into place, but I am confident that once we start playing competitively we will be 100 per cent ready and prepared for what looks like being the most competitive Super League season yet."
The new 2013 Women's Super League doesn't kick off until March, but the ladies have an extensive pre-season fixture programme and a cup match against Everton.
Beard's side are next in action on Tuesday (February 5) when they take on Leeds United at the Halton Stadium (7.30pm).
Admission for all home matches at the Halton Stadium during pre-season is just £2 for adults and £1 for children.
Liverpool FC Ladies pre-season fixtures

The University of the Ozarks is adding a men's wrestling program to its sports roster in 2014-15, the Clarksville, Ark. college announced Thursday.
The university has already launched a job search for head coach, d3wrestle.com reported Thursday.
Wrestling will become Ozarks' eleventh NCAA Division III varsity sport. In fact, Ozarks is the first D3 mat program -- and the sixth school -- in the state of Arkansas to offer the sport, joining recently established programs at Ouachita Baptist University (NCAA Division II), Central Baptist College (NAIA – National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) and Arkansas Baptist College (NJCAA – National Junior College Athletic Association). Lyon College and Williams Baptist College – both NAIA schools -- have announced they will have new wrestling programs this fall.
As with so many other smaller colleges, University of the Ozarks administrators appreciate how intercollegiate wrestling can attract students.
"Adding wrestling is an important part of our growth as an NCAA Division III institution in regards to enrollment and identity," said Athletics Director Jimmy Clark. "Wrestling has seen an increase in popularity within the state, and in Missouri and Oklahoma, it is even bigger. In Texas, there is only one collegiate wrestling program, so we have an opportunity to bring in student-athletes that we couldn't reach otherwise. The research we conducted found that wrestling brings in the second largest number of students other than football."
Only a few short years ago, amateur wrestling programs in Arkansas were pretty much nonexistent. However, wrestling has experienced tremendous growth in the state, both at the high school and collegiate level. According to the Arkansas Activities Association web site, 64 high schools in the state participate in wrestling.
Clark credits wrestling advocate Greg Hatcher, of Little Rock, with helping Ozarks establish its wrestling program. Hatcher, who is President of the Arkansas Wrestling Association, is funding mats and other equipment to assist in getting the team started.
"We have benefitted from Greg's expertise, and we are appreciative of his desire to assist us in starting the program," said Clark.
In addition to a men's mat program, University of the Ozarks will also be launching a new cheer/STUNT program. STUNT, according to the official College STUNT organization's website, "is the new competitive team sport derived from cheerleading. STUNT removes the crowd-leading element and focuses on the technical and athletic components of cheer, including partner stunts, pyramids, basket tosses, group jumps and tumbling."
University of the Ozarks' president Richard Dunsworth offered his stamp of approval for the new wrestling and cheer/STUNT programs by saying, "The addition of these sports will allow students the opportunity to compete at the NCAA Division III level while earning a degree and developing their personal and professional calling. Nearly 40 percent of our student-athletes achieved conference All-Academic status this year. And, a number of others have earned individual academic and athletic honors at the regional and national level. Student-athletes at the University of the Ozarks experience academic success and professional preparation, increasing further educational opportunities as well as greater job placement. It is a perfect time to create additional opportunities for young people to experience that success."
Founded in 1834, University of the Ozarks is a private, undergraduate university that is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Located in Clarksville, Ark. -- approximately 100 miles west of Little Rock and 60 miles east of Fort Smith – the school has nearly 600 students.

There's nothing better than fresh summer tomatoes. You may be getting inundated with them now. Or, you may be buying the famous, sweet "Jet Star" variety that's sold in Washington Borough, PA, at The Tomato Barn along Route 999, near the eastern shore of the Susquehanna.
Here's a way to fix tomatoes that's a real crowd pleaser. It takes just a bit of preparation, and then a few minutes under the broiler. Yummmmola, people.
- 1 large tomato, cut into 8 slices
- 1/3 c up mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil, cilantro, or parsley
- Place the tomato slices on a cookie sheet. Place the oven rack in the highest position.
- Mix the mayonnaise, cheese, and finely chopped herb in a small bowl. Blend well.
- Spread the mayonnaise and cheese mixture over each slice of tomato.
- Broil until the cheese bubbles and the topping is slightly browned.

I was as dizzy as the last time. I opened my eyes and saw nothing but darkness around me. Soon my eyes got used to the everlasting gloom and I saw in front of me that same desolate grey place, where I had met Ciel again. I didn't see Ciel anywhere, but a few meters from me stood his butler.
"We're in a hurry", he blurted and started to walk somewhere without waiting for me. I jumped up from the ground and run after him. Ahead the color of the horizon seemed to waver.
We arrived at the edge of a small valley, and in the middle of it stood Ciel. He turned his glance towards me when I stepped forward. I stopped frightened.
His eyes were flaming scarlet and that wavering color of the horizon, it stem from him. It was like dark waves were emanated from him, I could see them. Suddenly his face was twisted from pain, he bended and practically disappeared. I screamed and was about to run closer, but Sebastian took my arm.
"Did you find a cure?" he asked with an emphatic voice, his face expressionless but his eyes flaming. His grip on my hand was very tight.
"I-I don't know", I said and noticed that I had been squeezing in my other hand the notes which I found from Grigorovits' apartment. I gave them to Sebastian. He let my arm go, but glanced me angrily, so I thought it was for my own good to stand still for now. He leafed the notes but then to my horror threw them away.
"Only inefficient twaddle", he said and at the same moment I felt one of the dark waves hit my back. I believe that death feels alike it.
"What is going to happen to him?" I asked, hardly holding back my tears.
"I have absolutely no idea", the butler answered with a cold tone on his voice, impatient look on his face.
"Concluding that wavering he can disappear or blow up. I don't know", he continued and his face reflected frustration and obvious unsteadiness. He seemed not to care a bit about Ciel; he was thinking more of how this would infect his own situation. I shuddered.
I turned around and saw Ciel having a cramp again. I take a look from the corner of my eye on Sebastian and then run.
"Ciel!" I screamed and he turned to look at me. His facial expression was painful and because of the cramp he was gasping and pressing his chest at the same time he was straightening himself.
"E-Elizabeth… Lizzy…" he sputtered. The darkness emanating from him felt like waves in my heart with every step, and it felt like my heart could stop any minute. I still continued.
"Lizzy, you… must go…" he said slowly. I looked him in the eyes and saw pure despair.
"I can't leave you!" I shouted and took the last steps that kept us apart. Tears were flowing down my cheeks when I wrapped my arms around him.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you", I cried silently. I looked at his flaming eyes and kissed him.
I felt all strength leaving my body, starting from around the heart moving ahead to my fingertips and toes. My hold on Ciel slackened and I felt a wave hitting me, this time from the inside.
"Ciel, I will always love you."
Ciel PoV:
I took a deep breath when I saw my loved one lying lifeless on the ground.
"No!" I shouted and took her in my arms. How could she be so stupid and kiss a demon, didn't she know…
I heard Sebastian coming closer.
"That stupid girl!" he shouted his eyes full of anger. I looked at him and somehow I understood.
"You were the one that involved her in this, you told her and now she's dead!" I gathered all my strength to expel that disgusting creature.
"Sebastian, it's an order!" I shouted, "Get lost, leave us alone and never, ever come back!"
To my surprise he smiled that devilish smile of his.
"Yes, My Lord!" he almost screamed, bowed to me the last time and disappeared like a shadow.
I looked almost stunned at the place where he was standing a moment ago. Had it been that easy? I started to think about it and came to the solution, that in another situation I couldn't have made it that way.
I turned back to Elizabeth. Her already pale skin was now ivory white and her beautiful green eyes stared to the emptiness seeing nothing.
I kissed her cold lips again and again and cried.
But demons didn't cry.
I felt a strange yank inside me. My whole body slackened and everything went dark.
A young man is standing on a staircase and looks at the painting hanging on the wall. In the painting he himself was sitting on a chair, his wife's hand on his shoulder, her short hair opened. The man smiled. After all that had happened his dream had become true. For some reason his wife didn't remember any of those long months of longing, not even the goodbye at the feet of that same staircase. His wife was thinking that he had never left.
She didn't remember that black butler at all; she didn't know that he ever existed. That was a good thing.
Instead, the man remembered everything. And somehow, unexplained, that one kiss from his fiancé had saved them both.
It's the end now. This chapter is kinda short, sorry, it seemed longer on my computer (difficulties writing in both Finnish and English, other text is always longer/shorter).
And if somebody didn't understand, it was a true loves kiss that saved them both (I've been watching too much Once Upon A Time lately...?) I didn't have a way to tell it with these words in the story, because you only can imagine Ciel thinking/saying "True Loves Kiss".
Thanks for my readers, especially for those who commented and faved these!
And a special thanks to for the songs for almost every chapter. :didn'tfoundtheemoticoniwantedtouse:

Case Details
Paris was convicted on various counts of conspiracy, sex trafficking of a minor, sex trafficking through force, fraud or coercion, money laundering, and racketeering related to a prostitution ring he was found to operate in Hartford, Connecticut. He called the ring an "escort service" and claimed the sexual acts performed were the result of independent arrangements between the victims and the clients: the victims did them, Paris argued, for extra money or their own enjoyment.
Paris shared the victims and the proceeds from their "calls" with other defendants. He claimed these defendants were his competitors. The court found they were his co-conspirators. Cell phone and credit card use contributed to the conspiracy and money laundering convictions. Physical abuse of and verbal threats to the victims led to the coercion charge. Paris was found to have consciously avoided knowing the victim's age.

Men's Tennis Posts Sharp Showing At Marquette Invitational
Oct. 17, 2004
Milwaukee, Wis.- After a two-week layoff, the University of Illinois at Chicago men's tennis team resumed fall action this weekend at the Marquette Fall Invitational at the Helfaer Tennis Stadium.
In the hidden dual match format of the tournament, the Flames faced off against Horizon League rival UW-Green Bay, Northern Illinois and the host Golden Eagles.
During the first day of play on Saturday, UIC took on the Phoenix in a singles rematch of the Flames' decisive victory over UW-Green Bay at the Bradley Invitational this past September. The Flames were able to take four of six singles bouts, backed by wins at the top of the order by Ivan Kovalev, Karol Zarucki and Andy Lockhart, along with a No. 6 win by Eric Fey.
Following the singles dual match versus the Phoenix, UIC dropped three doubles contests against Marquette.
The Flames ended the day with a set of singles matches against Northern Illinois. Lockhart and Fey, who played Marquette's Tomek Czernuszewicz at No. 6 singles, gave the Flames two wins out of six matches.
On Sunday UIC opened with up with three doubles matches against NIU. Kovalev and Zarucki notched a tough 9-8 win at the top spot over Alex Frison and Willy Gali.
Next up were six singles matches against the Golden Eagles, where Kovalev and Fey came out victorious.
Concluding the event was a doubles slate against UW-Green Bay, and UIC didn?t disappoint, handing their conference rivals a 2-1 defeat on the duo side.
UIC finished the Invitational 8-10 in singles play and 3-6 in doubles action. Flames newcomers continued their magnificent UIC debut fall seasons by going 7-2 in singles overall.
"A good weekend overall," UIC head coach Hans Neufeld said of his team?s showing. "A lot of good performances."
Lockhart lost for the first time in singles action this weekend after winning his first six matches. He didn?t go without a fight, either, as he battled Marquette?s Brett Binkley all the way in a 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 loss.
The Flames will be in action at the ITA Midwest Regionals beginning this Friday.
