Ben and I.Mature
"Babey!" Ben called as soon as he heard the door shut behind me. He walked into the hall, wearing nothing but jeans, and boxers, of course. His muscular chest was bare, so different to Nathan's skinny, muscle-less torso. He was smiling a massive smile, his wide lips curved back to show gleaming teeth. His blue eyes sparkled, and his cropped blonde hair was damp. He was probably fresh from a shower.
"Hey, gorgeous," I say quietly as he slides his arms around me. He kisses my collar bone, my neck, my cheek, my lips. Then he breaks off and we stare into each other's eyes for a moment. Then, scared he will see the deceit behind this happy, innocent front, I look away. "I'm gonna go grab a shower. I'm all icky from sleeping on a sofa." He smiles.
"Kay babe." We kiss one more time, then I disengage myself from his arms and walk to the bathroom. I am naked, and about to turn on the water and step under it when his cold hands slide around my waist. "Oh hello, beautiful. I thought I would join you," He whispers in my ear seductively. I look around, and notice he has stripped off. Grinning, I pivot in his arms and step backwards into the shower. He turns it on, and kisses me as the water hits our interlinked bodies.
He tickles me and teases me, touching me all over. I do the same to him, still with our lips interlocked.
"I need to wash my hair..." I say quietly to him.
"Okay gorgeous. I'll be waiting in the bedroom." He winks at me before stepping out of the shower. I wash my hair and the rest of my body slowly, trying desperately to scrub away the dirty feeling that has settled within me. But it will not, will never, go away. Because every second I am with Ben is a lie, every word I say.. Every kiss, every touch...
When I get out of the shower, there are tears streaming down my cheeks. What am I going to do?

Laced with metaphors about maps and treasure, Headley's (Girl Overboard) finely crafted novel traces a teen's uncharted quest to find beauty. Two things block Terra's happiness: a port-wine stain on her face and her verbally abusive father, a failed cartographer who views her as ugly and belittles the collages she creates. A car accident brings her together with Jacob, an Asian-born adoptee with unconventional ideas. Besides introducing her to new pursuits like geocaching, a treasure-hunting game using GPS, Jacob ends up traveling with her when they have an opportunity to visit China together with their mothers. The trip, far-reaching on many different levels, gives Terra a chance to rethink the past and re-map her goals. Taking readers to America's Northwest, then to China and back again, the author confidently addresses very large, slippery questions about the meaning of art, travel, love and of course beauty. All of her characters hold secrets; finding them out will be as rewarding as Terra's discoveries of caches. Ages 12-up. (Feb.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

As he continued to stare, I wanted to point to my cheek and remind him, But you were the one who wanted this, remember? You're the one who asked-and I repeat-Why not fix your face?
It's hard not to notice Terra Cooper.
She's tall, blond, and has an enviable body. But with one turn of her cheek, all people notice is her unmistakably "flawed" face. Terra secretly plans to leave her stifling small town in the Northwest and escape to an East Coast college, but gets pushed off-course by her controlling father. When an unexpected collision puts Terra directly in Jacob's path, the handsome but quirky Goth boy immediately challenges her assumptions about herself and her life, and she is forced in yet another direction. With her carefully laid plans disrupted, will Terra be able to find her true path?
Written in lively, artful prose, award-winning author Justina Chen Headley has woven together a powerful novel about a fractured family, falling in love, travel, and the meaning of true beauty.
Editorial Reviews
Gr 7 Up
Terra's body is very nearly perfect, except for the port-wine birthmark on her left cheek, which several surgeries have failed to remove. It is the teen's final semester of high school and she looks forward to college where she can study art and escape from her bullying, verbally abusive father. Over the Christmas holidays, Terra and her mother get into a car accident and meet Jacob, a Goth Chinese boy with a cleft lip, and his adoptive mother. The women immediately strike up a supportive friendship, while Terra and Jacob grow close. When Terra's brother, who lives in Shanghai, sends her and her mother tickets to visit, and Jacob's mother wants to try to track down Jacob's birth mother, they decide to travel together. But what about Erik, Terra's enamored but slightly clueless boyfriend? Headley's ambitious novel is written in a beautifully crafted style that flows seamlessly. The pace is somewhat bogged down in the first half but it quickens when the characters travel to China, where Jacob, Terra, and their mothers begin to confront their insecurities. Terra and Jacob are flawed, complex, and memorable characters. The message that true beauty and strength come from within is dominant, but this is also a moving and satisfying story in its own right.-Amy J. Chow, The Brearley School, New York City

If I had one thing to say about North of Beautiful, it would be, "I was moved." From the beginning, I was engaged. I was also impressed with the number of issues and topics covered, everything from common teenage frustrations and Chinese cultural experiences to unique family dynamics and personal passions. The author hit the mark - entering the hearts, minds, and souls of teenage girls and grown-up women. We can relate. Reading North of Beautiful was as much fun as catching up with a girlfriend. It leaves you feeling connected and understood!
And this book proves it. When I first saw the cover of this book with the blond girl, I had a feeling that the story was going to be like every other 'teen' read. Beautiful blonnd girl dealing with a little bit of this and that, but in the end getting everything that she wants and living happily ever after with prince charming. I was dead wrong. This book, honestly, opened my eyes to what should be important in life. I'm not saying that how you personally look isn't important, but the book goes much deeper. The book covers so many different aspects to a teenagers life, from home and siblings and parents, to school, boys, relationships, finding out who one is suppose to be and what you like and dislike...the book covers everything. Plus, the characters are unforgettable. Each personality is so distinct and personal. There is someething in here for everyone to relate too. I do recomend this book to any teenager that is going through any self-confidence issues or just wants a good read.
North of Beautiful studies the division between exterior appearance and interior condition. I could write a term paper on the layers of this theme in this book. North of Beautiful reminded me, in many ways, of a John Green novel - smart teenagers stumbling through situations and eventually getting their legs beneath them - from a girl's perspective. The cartographic elements from the ancient maps in Terra's house to the geocacheing adventures added a layer of intelligence and fun. What I liked most about this story, though, was Terra's recognition of her own strengths and beauty. By the end of the book I had come to love my dear cookie-cutter characters. Except for one. Terra's dad disgusted me. He was completely one dimensional and cruel. The little turn around that happened with him at the end of the book left me skeptical. My complaint with him was that we didn't get any background that might have shed some light why he acted the way he did. It would have been nice to a see some insight into who he is and why. But I think, for the most part, he served his purpose in making readers loathe him.
The main character Terra has this birthmark on her face and anything she tries to do, it wont go away and then she meets jacob this goth boy who helps her relize what true beauty is all about... and she defines it like this, "It connects you with anything and everything and fills you with awe that you share the same space with something that glorious. Like a sunrise or a clear blue day or the most extraordinary piece of glass. And then suddenly you have this epiphany that there's more to the world than just you and what you want or even who you are." i THINK THIS BOOK IS REALLY GOOD... so i think you should read it... im 15 years old,
North of Beautiful is unique and definitely worth your time. If you have any doubts about yourself, this book will at the very least, lighten your perspective. It's main character, Terra Cooper has a birthmark that dominates a good portion of the right side of her face, a verbally abusive father, two absent brothers, and a depressed, submissive mother. Throughout the book she slowly begins to find herself and fall in love with a boy who happens to be not her boyfriend and also sporting his own set of problems. My only issue with the book was that you were somewhat left hanging in regards to the two main characters, other than that I can honestly say my heart swelled.
I wasnt sure if i was going to like this book in the beginning, but then i read it, and it was so amazingly good. It was agreat story about people who overcome diffuculties about physical appearences together while touring china. It was a wonderful plot to be brought up in a wonderful setting. It was fantastic.
I love this book it is amazing. I was so moved and could not take my eyes away. Trust u will love this book!!!!!!!!!
Terra always struggled with her image. Living with a port-wine stain on her cheek made her feel ugly and unwanted. She did everyhting she could to be popular and fit in. Although, she was living behind a mask of what her father wanted her to be. Then everything changed when she met Jacob. They became best friends (and even more) and their moms became best friends too. Jacob showed Terra that she was truly beautiful no matter what.
North of Beautiful has a cover of a blonde girl. I have seen many covers with blonde girls and wasnt particularly surprised that the book had something to do with beauty. Then i read it. I was blown away. This is not the typical shallow, beautiful,blonde girls book. Instead the plot lines were all twisted together wonderfully forming a book with meaning. The characters are relateable and make you feel real emotions. This book made me think, and quite honestly, made me look at myself and feel confident about who i am.
This book was just okay. it kind of dragged on for a while and i only finished it to see if it got better. It had some good parts, and the characters were likable and you could relate to them, but i probably wouldn't read it again. i felt like it had too many themes: her self consciousness and insecurity, the verbal abuse from her dad, her relationships with her friends and family, her art stuff, the geocaching stuff, the mapping theme throughout, etc. it didn't really flow well together, i thought.
This was an amazing book. Me, being an average teen, could completely relate to her feelings. This book made me both laugh and cry (a lot)! It made me think both "That is SO unfair!" and "DaaWWWWWHH!" The author gave me a vivid mental image of everything in the book. The text was so dense and rich, reading it a second time gave me a completely different view of it than the first. My advice: read this book. If you already have, read it again. If you've already read it twice, read it a third time.
I have struggled.with being who I am for a long time. I never felt pretty, I saw myself as fat and ugly. True I dont have a big port wine stain like Terra. I'm also nut a blond, but i still struggled to find my "true north". This boook really encouraged me to be who I really am. To be proud of myself and not to let other people determan who I am. Although it's a little slow at times, I would encourage any teen girl who feels they areugly or fat or anythimg else to read this book. It really makes you think about what beautiful really is.
Started to read it and loved it but had to take it back to the libarey so hope to get this book to finish it
I LOVE this book it's amazing.
Let me simply put it, read it. I loved it and anyone whonsays it dragged on is wrong. Any more action and it would be an action novel. Any less and it would be a sleepy hollow type book. Tthis book is the eye of the storm, calm beautiful, ajd alarming. It makes yooou realize the roughness and howw ti face it. I loved it.
This book was only okay to me, I mean, it sends an amazing message but it wasnt very well written ( it seemed to go ON AND ON) i dont think I would recomend this to a friend- or to you. So I am so sorry (to the author) and please dont waste your time! If you do or did read it, please listen to the message (p.s. I am 14 years old...) (I would rate this 2 stars but it gets extra points for the message!)
"Not to brag or anything, but if you saw me from behind, you'd probably think I was perfect." After sixteen years, Terra Rose Cooper has mastered the fine art of hiding the cracks in the facade of her perfect life. Concealer and foundation quickly camouflage the port-wine stain on Terra's cheek. A rigorous exercise regimen gives Terra control over her body that she never had over her face. It also makes sure her body is one that her boyfriend, a beautiful and popular jock himself, will definitely appreciate. It's harder to hide her family's flaws; her father's denigrating comments, her mother's compulsive baking (and eating), the flight of her older brothers' away from the family--and from their little sister. Terra is so focused on her plan to finish high school early and flee to an East Coast college that, sometimes, it's easy to forget that she bears marks from the household as clear as any birthmark. Terra's dream of a fresh start as far away from her small town Washington life as possible is dashed when her father vetoes her escape plan. Terra's one true refuge is in her art. While working on her collages, Terra doesn't have to think about her father or worry about protecting her mother, she has the freedom not yet afforded by her real life. Things begin to change when Terra and her mother (almost literally) runs into Jacob and his family. At first it seems like Terra wouldn't have anything in common with this sophisticated Goth boy who has found his way into her small town. Yet, he understands Terra in a way that no one ever has. Their chance meeting sets Terra on an unexpected path and helps her understand that you need to open your eyes before you can really see true beauty, in the eyes of the beholder or otherwise. Chen artfully blends Terra's artistic personality with her background knowledge of cartography and maps, gained from her father and central to the plot, to create a uniquely informative and engaging narrative. This book is a love story on many levels. First, in the conventional boy-meets-girl sense of the term. This novel is also Terra's love story with herself as she learns to love herself and come to terms with her birthmark. But, for me, the big event in North of Beautiful was the fact that this was a love story about a mother and daughter. North of Beautiful is, in fact, dedicated to the author's own mother and with good reason. It is so easy to write books for teens that are depopulated of adults and feature parents in only brief appearances. Here, happily, that is not the case. Aside from Terra, Lois is arguably one of the most important characters in the entire story. Watching the healing process as Terra and Lois reconnect also made me feel incredibly grateful for and proud of my own mom. Ultimately, aside from being one of my favorite books of 2009 (so far), North of Beautiful was incredibly uplifting. The beginning of the novel is not always easy to read. Terra's home life is anything but happy, and Chen tackles the issue of verbal abuse (abuse without the telltale blows or shouts)head on . But that isn't the main event here. Instead, the story is about how Terra and her mother move past that and build themselves back up. I'll say it again, the story here was beautiful, and even I dare say life-affirming. Like Terra herself, readers will put down this book with a whole new outlook on . . . everything.
This is my new favorite book!!!!!!!!! It is charming, haunting, sweet, and deep. The perfect book! If you do not like it at first keep reading.
North of Beautful, by Justina Chen Headley, was a novel about a girl who was born with a port wine stain, a big, red mark covering half of her face. All her life she has just been living behind make up, a mask of who she really is. Then, during a near death incident, she runs into (literally) a young, handsome goth boy. She starts to hang out with him, and realizes that they aren't that different. They both have something to hid. He teaches her to love who she is, as they travel both locally and worldwide, searching for answers.
North of Beautiful takes the reader on a journey of discovering what beauty truly is. It makes you take a good look at the times you judged yourself, and the times you judged others. It is a remarkable story of not just one character, but a whole family.This wasn't a book that I clicked with from the first page. It took me a few chapters to get the "feel" for the story. But once that happened, I was in love. Headley's characters are so dimensional and come to life right before your eyes. Terra was a character anyone can sympathise with. We all have things about us that have made us feel like we don't measure up to what is seen as beauty. But for Terra, that is a birthmark right on her face. It's what she in known for by everyone in town. Even when she covers it up, everyone knows it's there. She goes to many extremes to get rid of the mark, but nothing works. Terra has very low self esteem, and all the people giving her the wrong advise only make it worse (a teacher giving her a giving her a pamphlet for laser surgery? Wrong!) I just wanted to grab her out of the pages and give her a much needed hug! I was surprised to see that Terra's parents were a big part of the story. Something you don't see too much in YA. Her parents are no support team for Terra, though. Her dad is emotionally abusive, and her mom is a doormat that eats away her feelings. Terra's parents were written so realistically. Which, of course made you want to strangle Terra's dad at times. I have been a victim of emotional abuse before, and I know what the effects can be. It's something no one should ever have to go through. Besides Terra, the character I loved the most was Jacob. From the description, I didn't think I would click with him. But he was incredibly sweet and just what Terra needed. I adored the romance between these two. I also loved how they both were "flawed", which brought them closer together. While North of Beautiful is mainly a story of self discovery, it also had a wonderful sense of adventure. The trip Terra and her mom took to China was eye opening for me. It reminded me how big the world really is, and how much I'd love to see more of it. Along with the lively characters, Headley has a wonderful writing style that keeps you invested in the story. Most stories that deal with subjects like this tend to leave me drained. But North of Beautiful ended in an uplifting way that had me smiling. It strengthens by believe that beauty really is within the flaws. North of Beautiful is an endearing story not to be missed. If you are not pulled in right away, stick with it. You will be so happy you did.
Everything one likes to be perfect, just like the people around them. That's how Terra feels. She was born with a Port Wine Stain, literally a red big blob that covers a whole side of her cheek and face. This book is great for you to know how it feels to be different. We aren't all skinny, or tall, or short, or chubby. We are just ourselves. I wish the romance with Jacob was played out more, and that she stuck up to her Dad more. That man is a beast and gets everything that comes to home. Wonderful book all and all, a great story for any teen to read.
...I liked everyone in this book except Terra's Dad. Even at the end of the book, I still didn't like his punk jerk butt. He was such an arrogant punk that nothing he could do would make me like him. When the book ended, I wondered what happened between Terra's parents. Did the Mom stay with the Dad? Did the Dad really tame his ways? Then I got to wondering what the hell happened with Claudius? I really liked Claudius. I think I liked Claudius more than I liked Eric AND Jacob though Jacob was pretty awesome. This book deals with a lot of body image issues that teenagers go through when they're in high school and middle school and what not. I would definitely recommend this book to those of you guys out there who want to read something thought provoking and just plain ol' good. This book was a definite treat for me and I'm sure it will be for you as well. To read the full review, visit http://thebookscoop.com.
This book was wonderful! The characters were lovely. I loved the main character and loved the plot. I think that anyone that loves a good read and loves love stories should definitely read this novel. All i have to say is WONDERFUL!
This was so surprising. In the beginning, I thought the girl was a bit of a snob, but after a couple of chapters... I don't think I've ever found a character so like me that I was actually... THERe. I cried at the end. At first I didn't like this. So I tossed it somewhere in my room. Then.. a couple of weeks ago, I found it. I had read everything in the house and I got to this one last. I had been going through a really hard time, and this book was suddenly so... this book... it became my friend. It taught me so much. It was a true experience. I have quotes from this book tacked up on my wall. Did I mention this book was addicting? I've never lost so much sleep over a book before. I finally finished this at like 3 AM on a tuesday, on the couch in the living room, weeping my heart out. This helped me through a lot of what I'd been going through. I can't thank the author enough for this experience.
I loved it! I read it and was hooked to it. I lve how it inspires some girls to take over their lives and not be a mop controlled by everyone. It shows you what is right and what is not. It deals with everything girls deal with from puberty to boys troubles to unreliable dads and so on. i definetly recomend someone to read this book. ;]

Range of organic quality cava
From cheap Cava to high quality. Not that long ago, Spanish sparkling wine was no more than a mass-produced article, available everywhere at bargain prices. This is mainly still the case for the some 8 million bottles consumed in Spain and 10 million bottles of Cava exported every year.
But gradually a few cava houses completely changed course and set out to have their Cava compete with the very best Champagnes. Some fully succeeded in that. These exceptional Cavas are currently listed in the 4 internationally-valued 3-star Michelin restaurants in Spain: El Bulli, Arzak, Can Fabes and Martin Berasategui.

Marking the Beginning of Adulthood
On yesterday's show, The Takeaway discussed the supposed problems with kids today. But that begged the question: when, exactly, is a kid no longer a kid? When does childhood end and adulthood begin?
It's a confusing question. At age 18, an American is old enough to fight, and die, for his or her country, but not old enough to buy a beer. At age 16, one can obtain a driver's license, but not rent a car. And at age 17, one can get married in some states, but not in others.
Haris Durrani is an engineering student at Columbia University, as well as a research intern at the school's robotics lab and an editor at Scholastic. He just turned 19 on Monday. But does he consider himself an adult? Dr. Barbara Hofer is a professor at Middlebury College who specializes in educational, developmental, and cultural psychology. She is the author with Abigail Sullivan Moore of "The iConnected Parent: Staying Close to Your Kids in College (and Beyond) While Letting Them Grow Up."

MLK Celebration
GAINESVILLE- Martin Luther King Day is still hours away, but the late civil rights activist is already on the minds of some Gainesville residents. On Sunday members of the "Pleasant Plain United Methodist Church" celebrated the legacy left behind by the former pastor. There were songs, skits and speeches honoring the man known best for his role in the African American civil rights movement. Young members of the church took the stage to say what they admired most about king. One woman tells us she will always appreciate the impact king had on her life.
"He abled me to work with the skills that i have because if it was not for him a lot of us wouldn't have the jobs which we have because we didn't have that time, you know, we didn't have that choice back then," said Deloris Golston.
Members of the church said King helped the African American community advance, but there is still some racial inequality left to battle.

The movie will be sponsored by director Sam Raimi, whose credits include the Spiderman and Evil Dead films. Fede Alvarez's short film "Ataque de Panico!" (Panic Attack!) featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and was made on a budget of $300 (£186). So far it has had more than 1.5 million views on YouTube. "I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios," he told the BBC's Latin American service BBC Mundo. "It was amazing, we were all shocked." The movie Mr Alvarez has been asked to produce is a sci-fi film to be shot in Uruguay and Argentina. He says he intends to start from scratch and develop a new story for the project. "If some director from some country can achieve this just uploading a video to YouTube, it obviously means that anyone could do it," he added. YouTube recently revealed the most watched videos of 2009. Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle topped the chart with more than 120 million views worldwide of her debut on the show.

Posted by Reviewer1599768 on May 14, 2015 | Verified Purchase
The amount of liquid--a total of 3/4 cup made up of oil, water, and egg--is far too little for 2 cups of mix. the result is that you have to squeeze and push to get the dry mix into a ball, which means too much handling for a flaky biscuit. also it's bitter. i can not believe that the other people who wrote the reviews were eating the same product. in any case if you buy this, be sure to add more liquid than they say, don't handle too much --if in doubt, google "buttermilk biscuits" for recipes made from scratch and you can see how important not handling too much is. I think it is inexcusable of this company to sell a product like this.

Wai-Nani, a Voice from Old Hawaii
€ 14,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Mai 2008
BeschreibungFrom the cauldron of controversy that is Hawaiian history emerges Wai-nani, a reflection of the personage of the great chiefess Ka'ahumanu. Like all Islanders, she is a water baby finding pleasure, sustenance, solace, wisdom and courage in the grand and vibrant sea. She is born fifteen years prior to the landing of Captain Cook in Kealakekua in 1779 and is the favorite wife of Makaha, a fierce warrior modeled after Kamehameha the Great. Hawaiian women enjoyed sports, were trained in the martial arts, played active roles in decision-making, and participated in wars. They communed with the gods through hula and ritualistic ceremonies. Ka'ahumanu swam miles each day and it is reasonable to believe she would make friends in the ocean. Wai-nani's bond with Eku-a playful and communicative dolphin-propels her on a mythological journey couched in magical realism. Wai-nani is a celebration of the Hawaiian people of old, especially the powerful Ka'ahumanu-forerunner to the modern woman.

I have never, before or since, worked with an attorney with such integrity. Tara truly does all she can for both the birth parents and the adoptive parents, guiding both through what can be a tangled system.
We adopted our first baby through her and two years later went back to get our second baby! I have referred her several times because she is so honest.
Posted by Terri
I worked with Tara several years ago when adopting my daughter. The whole process can be overwhelming: not knowing what questions to ask, waiting for a child, termination of birth parent rights, etc. She and her staff were understanding and helpful during that time but also took care of business.
Posted by William
We used Tara Gutterman and Adoption ARC a few years ago to adopt our son. The agency was absolutely excellent as they worked with our son's Birth Mother in many ways. Tara clearly has expertise in the world of adoption. She made sure we understood our entire process and took the time we needed to go through our journey.
Posted by Ellen
Tara handled the adoption of my son in 2009 and she was absolutely terrific. She was very warm and friendly and informative. She helped us understand the world of adoption that was brand new to us. Tara took time to answer our many questions and she took care of our legal matters in a promptly.
Posted by anonymous
Tara was great to deal with. Tara was very responsive, caring and very compassion to my situation.
Tara always found the time to return a call or email and was very informative.
Tara seemed to be very respectful by her peers.
I would definitely recommend Tara to any one.
Posted by Cornelis Netherlands
Tara has helped us perfectly with our adoption procedure a warm personality with great attention to your personal situation, like the rest of her Office.She is a professional. We hope to work with her again in the future!
Posted by daniel and franklin
We have worked with Tara Gutterman for both our adoptions and cannot say anything else then that we feel blessed that we were able to work with her througout these adoptions! She made our family come true and she was always aware of what was needed or asked for by us. She is very involved and sincere.
Posted by Christine
When we arrived in PA to pick up our son, Ms. Gutterman was very helpful in guiding us through our adoption process. She and her staff made us feel very comfortable and put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Ms. Gutterman as an adoption attorney!
Posted by anonymous
I was in touch with Tara for a pending adoption where her and her agency failed to inform me of pertinent health information about the baby. Although she claimed she did not know about the health issues, the hospital informed me of them, and I am not sure how, with the baby being in legal custody of the agency, Tara and her agency could have been unaware.
Posted by anonymous
I was not impressed with Ms. Gutterman. She appears not to have the ability to keep matters confidential. She also did not keep us informed of what was going on withour adoption process, and it took longer than it should have to get the work done. I discovered later there were many errors in the adoption legal work.
Be wary.

Today was fantastic. My friend, myself & our strollers headed out to the Marietta Square. We were both on the hunt for some chandeliers & wanted to check out the Antique Stores. While neither of us left with light fixtures, we did hunt down some fantastic finds at Dupre's Antique Market.
*Excuse the photo quality… taken with the iPhone.
|These beautiful ceramic urns were 20″-30″ in white & black. These would look so chic on a mantle.
|In LOVE with this fixture. It's unique, gorgeous, huge… & a great price @ $300. If only my house was larger…Sigh.
|There was a pair of these stunning corbels. A little pricey… but so pretty. These could be great accessorizing a bookcase. I will be keeping my eye out for some of these in the future.
|These grey end tables would look amazing in a guest room. Perfect condition. Perfect color. Perfect price. $129 for the pair.
|Gasp. Look at this lovely piece of work. Unfortunately, I would again need a larger home to accommodate this beauty. But WOW… A girl could dream right?
I love hunting through places like this. The inventory is constantly changing. You never know what treasure you will uncover. BTW… At places like this feel free to ask if they can do better on the prices. This store had "firm" written next to the prices on some items, but not all.
Now we are back home & I am conducting an experiment… Our bedroom redo keeps throwing me curveballs. I'll share my results, good or bad, in the next few posts.
Cheers- K

Dressed up in words so bright and pretty
Like a festival parade
Without a marching beat
And as they walk they give no thought
To the feelings underfoot.
To the pseudo-intellectuals
The blind, the broken men in sewers
Wading through a world of filth
With bitter tongues
From all the foul words in their mouths.
And they are better,
To walk the one true path
To know and yet,
Unknowing, they condemn
Themselves to just one window
Staring out at a world
But not the world
To the fakes,
The unbelievers
The practitioners of art
So perfect their conception
Craftmanship beyond mere mortal hands
The one eyed man, his kingdom blind
Only half a story sees
And the people on his blind side
They are free.

Kalea: Dead Guy?
The first thing I heard of anything was the high pitched screaming of Alice.
I'd been in the attic, trying to do some exploring. There were some old chests I'd been beginning to explore. I like old things.
When the screaming came, I ran downstairs. It's new for me running and I wasn't very good at it. Tirs was already there, and I caught a glimpse of a distraught Alice running past. A few minutes later Ali ran over. She seemed to have been feeding, judging from the fact that there was still some blood left on her lips. I'd been thinking she must be hungry.
"She ran into a little incident downstairs...and saw me chowing down on the dead guy," she said. "I think I scared her a bit."
A bit! I peered in Alice's room and she had passed out on the bed. What the hell happened here?
I considered going to see what had happened – but I wasn't sure I wanted to.
"Where's Anna?" I asked Ali.
"It's a long story," she said.
Tirs had come back into the room. "Is there any particular reason there's a dead guy downstairs?" she asked.
Dead guy?
"Um, yeah, just so everyone knows, I think Anna's turned violent now, so be careful when you're around the house," Ali said to everyone.
Somehow, I think life here will be a lot interesting than with the fairies.

Worked It Out (Letter #3)
Dear Bekah,
I've worked out what it is. Why you don't want to hang out with me or talk with me or be with me like you used to. I've finally worked out what I'm missing and why you don't see me in the same light.
I'm not cool enough.
That's what it is, isn't it? I'm a freak. I spend my free time writing, playing music and dancing. I don't live in the same world as everyone else because I'm not interested in boys except to find out what books they like and how could they are at dancing; I don't watch TV except Doctor Who because I can't fit it in around Protagonize and my dance classes; I'm not interested in make-up unless it's for a dance show and clothes unless they're dance costumes.
I'm not cool. I'm just a freak.
We used to be outcasts together, playing our little games and holding secret conversations which nobody else understood. You used to read my stories, the ones I wrote on paper in that black and green notebook, and you'd say they were good.
Now I'm trying to work out when the moment of transition was. I can't quite see when it was that you first moved away but I can see the trails going right back to that first parting. Maybe that's when it started.
We've had those times when I've felt that I am superfluous. That you don't need me because I'm just a child. Sometimes I'm with you and I feel that I'm clinging, I feel that I'm vying for your attention and you don't really want to give it. That's been going on for a long time now, Bekah.
Do you remember last church weekend, and you said you were going to meet with the others? You'd already promised to me that you would come with me. We were, after all, sharing a room.
"You're always with the others." I think that's what I said, or rather cried. You tried to comfort me but I could tell you didn't care. You said something along the lines of, "If I want to be with the others I don't see why I shouldn't." And I cried even harder.
Then you wanted to go and spend the night in their dorm, and I refused. You tried to persuade me, saying that it would be fun. I pointed out how small the rooms were, how nice ours was. I said I was tired, that I didn't want to spend all night talking. I didn't want to be on my own, either. I thought you'd stay with me.
You went anyway, but you came back well before midnight. You didn't stay all night. You said it got boring. Well, I did warn you.
That's just another example of how we split over the years. There were other things that weekend, good things, things I enjoyed...but that was not a night I would count among my favourite times.
But even though you're cool, you've got a job, you hang out with the cool people and act like I'm dirt...I'm still your old friend.

If you have been following me (thank you♥), you probably didn't expect to see a new post today because I've been posting just 3 days a week for the past two months. Since I started blogging this past January, I had so much to do besides just "posting" my recipes. I didn't know how much time and effort are required to keep up a decent, good-content blog. Posting 3 recipes a week definitely reduced my stress over the past 2 months. Now I have more recipes that are waiting to be published, so it's time to share them with you!
I usually keep one package of Unagi in the freezer in case I need to make a quick dinner. If you are tired of the regular Unadon (Unagi Donburi), this might give you an interesting twist to the original version. I used Shiso leaves which provide a great accent to the combination of Unagi and eggplant and plays an important role. I hope you will enjoy this quick yummy dinner.
Don't want to miss a recipe? Sign up for the FREE Just One Cookbook newsletter delivered to your inbox! And stay in touch on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Instagram for all the latest updates. Thank you so much for reading, and till next time!

- In a non-stick frying pan, heat oil on medium high. Cook the eggplant until one side is nicely browned then turn it over to cook the other side.
- Put the Unagi on top of eggplant and add water and cooking sake. Immediately cover with a lid and cook for 1 minute.
- Open the lid and let the remaining liquid evaporated.
- Add the Unagi Sauce. Coat the eggplant and Unagi with the sauce.
- Put rice in a serving bowl and transfer the eggplant and Unagi on top of the rice. Garnish with Shiraga-Negi and Shiso leaves. If you like spicy food, sprinkle with Shichimi. Enjoy immediately.

There was plenty of back and forth action tonight as the Vancouver Canucks nabbed a win against the Edmonton Oilers 6-5 in overtime.
It was Alexander Edler who found the back of the net halfway into the extra minutes of the game to get the win for Vancouver.
Before the game began, the Canucks paid tribute to Gino Odjick.
A video message for the fans from Odjick was played.
In it he said thank you to the fans whose support helped him and his family through "a year that's not been easy on [himself] or [his] family."
"Receiving all the love and support from the Canuck Nation has gone a long way to help in my health battle."
Edmonton kicked off the goal scoring with Nail Yakupov finding the back of Ryan Miller's net in the first period.
This was followed by a goal from the Oilers' Jordan Eberle, who scored just eleven seconds after Yakupov.
Vancouver's Daniel Sedin was the first to answer back with a goal for the Canucks, closing out the goal scoring in the first period.
Kevin Bieksa tied everything up with a wrap-around goal in the second period.
But just over a minute and a half later, Edmonton's Taylor Hall tipped in a goal to put the Oilers ahead once again.
Edmonton's Ben Pouliot and Teddy Purcell, and Vancouver's Sven Baertschi rounded out the goal scoring in the second period.
In the third, Jannik Hansen put a wrist shot in the back of Ben Scrivens' net, while Sven Baertschi found another goal halfway through the third.
With the Calgary Flames' loss to the Winnipeg Jets, the Vancouver Canucks will get home ice advantage against the Flames during the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
That first game will take place at Rogers Arena on Thursday, April 23rd.

The BFGMature
A mass chunk of earth that I lifted (without my hands) slams into the dungeon wall making the entire room sway as the dust from the shattered earth blows around the room making a few people cough, unconcerned I turn back to where my younger brother Kicwichi is watching me with a sour expression on his face.
"TOUGH LUCK LITTLE BRO! I CAN MOVE PIECES OF EARTH BIGGER THAN YOU, THEREFORE I WIN THE DEAL NOW LICK THE FLOOR!" I boom in merry pride, Key (as I like to call him) gets down on his knees and shouts up to me "Next time we make a deal, I'm making you lick the Seer's old arse!"
"Lick the damn floor like it's your wife!" I command back, ignoring his "threat"
Sighing he does so. We had a deal you see whoever who manipulate the largest chunk of earth and throw it at the wall would "win". We dared the one who "lost" would lick the floor beside the victor's feet and that's what Key's doing right now. We always abide to our dare's I've done my fair share of dares and so has he.
The girls of the nature kingdom have come to join us in learning earth. The raven haired beauty is learning with Fizzy, while the blonde, the twins and the younger scruffy looking one are laughing with mirth at Key's inferior skills.
"That's why you should learn with me ladies!" I shout red faced to them, as the eldest gives me a dazzling smile and I feel my testosterone levels soar, she looks like one of those delicate uptight bitches, who wouldn't even pass me a glance at the likes of me. But as I've discovered (to my delight) she has the personality to match her beauty. Kind, generous and accepting of everyone.
Of course there's sexual attraction in there but... also something more that makes my head feel light and funny. I guess Key feels the same or else we wouldn't be here making this dare trying to impress her. I guess I just have as I approach her, as a hulking giant of 7 foot 2 my black spikes of hair lie flat against the celling.
I'm easily the tallest, most well- built man here. I draw eyes but I have long since drawn eyes since an early age due to my massive size, I have long since learnt to deal with it and use it to my advantage, besides the ladies love guys as large and robust as me.
"It would be nice to learn earth from you" The blonde girl says as I feel myself get flustered "Well, I would like to know your name to see if it matches your pretty face" I reply as she giggles and goes crimson at the cheeks.
"Florana" she replies extending her hand.
"Puntapull, it's a pleasure Florana" I say shaking her hand as gently as I can.
"So, will you teach me and my sisters how to control the earth?" she asks.
"I'd teach you much more than earth If I could Florana" I say suggestively as she giggles, so she can deal with a guy like me? I've found my dream girl. As I think about that I hear a fake vomiting noise behind me.
"Sister, eww!" the two twins behind her say at the same time in a giddy tones.
"Puntapull this is Autamare and Autamore, and that's Groxslain" she says pointing at the younger looking girl who nods back at me "My sister's please be excused if they lack manners" she continues no doubt meaning the twins.
"Don't worry, I feel as I may have upset you with the words that come out of my mouth" I state as she beams at me "Do not apologise, I understand how men can be it doesn't upset me in the least" she tells me to my delight.
"You two, should like get a room already" One of the twins says.
"Hey Key! You can teach the younger girls how to move rocks! I want to get to know M'lady Florana a little better!"
"THAT'S NOT PART OF THE DAMN DEAL!" Kicwichi shouts back at me as he stands up tall, his tongue still white from the dust he licked up from the floor. "Well it is unless you want another dare, you'll do as I say" I command as he bites his tongue from another insult and goes off with the younger 3 sisters. For today, I have won.
Florana struggles to lift rocks from the floor, no matter how gentle I am with the girl she just can't do it. Every time a rock falls to earth she mutters "Sorry, Sorry" in a rushed breath. Before she follows my instructions to concentrate and tries again only to fail again.
"Maybe I can teach you how to control plants first, It would save time" she mutters after her latest failure but I shake my head. "I know you can do it, I want you to learn before me, ladies first is a rule of mine" I say.
"You are a polite gentlemen, but I'm afraid no matter how hard I try It seems I am troubled" she says as she sits cross legged onto the floor and stares at the dust particles on the ground. I'm not good in emotional situations, however I decide now is the time to comfort this girl, it sounds mad but I really quite like her. (In more ways than just lust)
I also bend my giant limbs and sit by her, awkwardly, even sitting down I'm still fairly tall and my head bobs above many others in the room. "I'm not a big, scary monster, you can tell what's wrong I can help" I plead with her as she gazes up at me. "You are a big friendly giant Puntapull but I have only just met you" she reminds me.
"I know, but I am a man of word, I'm here to help I swear it" I plead as she sighs.
"He was just like you, the last man of loved" She begins as I ask "Who?" to showcase my interest. She shakes her head "It doesn't matter who, but... he liked me and I liked him... he... I don't know why... but he took his own life"
"Whoa" I say in an instant. I was expecting a meek issue not a suicide. She doesn't reply so I carry on with "Doesn't he give you a reason?"
"No, guards found him hanging from a tree, I just can't stop thinking about why. It makes no sense and has bothered me for weeks now, In some way I fear it's my fault" she says sadly as her blue eyes turn into pools as I move closer to her.
"Florana, I have just met you but I know just by looking at you, by talking to you there was no way in the ten kingdoms that his death was in any way your fau..."
My comforting lines are dashed as something slams across my face sending me sprawling to the floor, ignoring the pain on my face (which quickly fades telling me I was attacked by one of my own) I look up to see Fisrickle, well Fizzy, staring down at me.
"Break it up love birds, I'm done" He says.
"What?" I ask, still dazed.
"I'm done, Roselly here (at this point I notice the raven haired beauty standing by his side) taught me how to control the nature element and I have learn it" he announces.
"Big deal" I scoff.
Two seconds later a dozen plants from the plant hole have wrapped themselves around my neck and ankles, they release as soon as they are there, but the assulat still leaves me gasping "It is a big deal brother, I need to learn elements If I want to rule, henceforth I promised in return for teaching me nature you'd teach Roselly here how to control earth"
And with that he strides off to his next victim. Leaving me unable to mutter a word as I stare after my big headed brother. Damn the Gods! I hate him more and more every day, he may rule Tiose but still there's no need to attack your own kin.
"Dear Sister you look upset, you should rest and I'll stay with your friend" Roselly tells her sister as she stands up and walks off "But Puntapull wanted me to teach him..." she protests as Roselly pats her back "It's okay you'll see your giant friend very soon" at this Florana leaves the dungeon as I stare after her. The raven haired beauty strides up to me and sits down.
"Okay then, Puntapull is it? I'm Roselly I can't wait to be taught earth by you" she smiles.
I'm still staring at the door after Florana, still love-struck I never thought I would be, yet here I am feeling empty without the blonde girl at my side.
I feel Roselly grab my giant hand, it limply lands on her big bust, at which I return to my senses with wide eyes as she giggles at me "You men make me laugh sometimes with your expressions" she says as I slide my hands from her breasts. "Okay, let's get started" I say rather distant.
Soon Roselly is all over me. Purring and giggling and blushing, telling me I'm a big boy and I must have "big assets" naturally my body replies of it's own accord but my mind is elsewhere still love-struck on Florana, I want more than anything to hold her, and comfort her.
Roselly saw it. How love-struck the giant brute was with his sister slowly seducing him was proving a challenge but one she would achieve. He would fuck her as a placebo for Florana, and it was good, the empty headed idiot had no idea what she had planned to play this game of thrones. Her plan was so far working well.

3: Sage AdviceMature
Oliana entered the small hut at the edge of the village where Jarrah made his abode. It was sporting its characteristic scent that Oliana could never quite place. Jarrah sat at a small table, eating day-old bread. He gestured mid-crunch for her to take a seat on the other side.
"Well, well! What a pleasant surprise," he swallowed. "What brings you here, my Lady Chieftain?" Oliana winced. As many times as she requested to be called by name, Jarrah always forgot.
"You wanted to speak with me. Remember? Those black riders came from Eirethstead."
"Ah! Yes... Why were they here?"
"They asked to speak with me in private about 'political matters.' Jarrah, they're… Eirethstead is taking the village! I have to surrender tomorrow or they'll attack. They're bringing an army. I have no choice."
Jarrah paused a moment, his light eyes sparking with thought, and to Oliana's relief, remembrance. "It is as I feared," he said.
Oliana waited for him to reveal more options but quickly grew impatient. "What should I do, Jarrah? What can I do?"
"You know, your father used to know the king very well. They were friends, once. Indeed, you might say that Gillireth owes much of his rise to power to Zolan."
"I had no idea. What else do you know of this?"
"Eh, something grew in the king, a dark hatred. Your father saw it and left the kingdom. Founded the clan. That's all you really need to know right at this moment."
"Oh, and he met your mother, of course. She was so young and beautiful. Can you remember, Oliana? She loved you and your brother very much."
"Jarrah, please focus. How can I send the army back without a fight?"
"You cannot, dear. You will surrender to them and you will surrender to your fate."
Silence filled the tiny shack, mingling with hopelessness and that mysterious smell.
"That's it, then?" Oliana asked, crestfallen.
"That is not 'it,'" Jarrah snapped. "You will find purpose no matter if you are chief or not. Do you think everyone in the village defines themselves by their title? A farmer, a seamstress? If you ask me, miss, actions of character are far greater than titles. Your father knew that very well."
"And if I surrender, what does that make me as a person? Here's an action for you! As my last act as chief, I remove you from your position as counsellor. Enjoy what is left of your life, you old turtle."
Oliana rushed out of the hut, tears streaming. Jarrah shook his head in dismay. The stubborn must always learn the hard way, he thought.

Anyone had any experience with Kirk Patrick Leather. e.g. quality design what not?
I am looking for a good pancake type holster FBI cant for a 1911 Officers type.
They make fine western holsters, but I have experience with their other stuff.
I have one of their pancakes for my G26.
When I got it I found that the body shield was too large, and did not permit a full grip on the gun. You need all you can get when using the G26.
I called them and sent it back after drawing an outline of what I needed to fix the problem. As it turned out I did not mark enough, and a friend, who does some leather work, fixed it for me.
It is an adequate holster, but not in the league with Sparks, and other top rung makers.
I have a friend who has a Kirkpatrick belt, and Askins style holster. He is satisfied with it.
I think there are much better choices for concealment holsters. For great work and reasonably short delivery times HBE has some excellent reviews.
You might also look at Fist.
I've used Kirkpatrick leather for years for both CCW and Western carry. I've found the quality to be top shelf and a great bunch of folks to work with. They've always treated me well, no complaints.
I have an Aker shoulder rig that I used for a S&W 4566, well built but definitely mass produced and sure not my first choice but in a pinch it did what it was supposed to. Have heard good things about the Aker Flatsider which I believe is their pancake type rig. FWIW, I'd go with them over Galco.
I've had good luck with Aker, Kirkpatrick, O'Rourke, HighNoon, DeSantis, Safariland, Ken Null, Cobra, Bianchi, Hoffner's, and probably a couple of others I can't remember. With holsters you get what you pay for and most of the known names are top notch and back up their work. Best thing I can say is stay away from no-name crap listed on ebay and the cheap nylon stuff. Also, invest in a good gun belt to get the most out of your holster.
Kirkpatrick Leather...I have a TSS for a Glock 30 SF. Top quality and love it while it sits on my Beltman!
- You never need a gun until you need one very badly.
- Running is for people who don't have ammo.

Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee Attendance: 17,113
Predators prepare for Coyotes' team that seems to have their number
Arizona Coyotes at Nashville Predators
- This is the third and final meeting between these teams this season. The Coyotes have won the first two matchups and are looking to sweep the season series for just the second time all-time (the first was 2001-02, 4-0-0).
- Arizona was shut out at home against St. Louis Saturday, 3-0. It was the Coyotes' first time being shut out in over two months (January 14 was the last) and just the second time at home this season.
- Radim Vrbata is Arizona's goal leader with 17 on the season. That is tied for the lowest mark by any skater to lead his team in goal (the other is Colorado's Matt Duchene).
- Nashville snapped a three-game winning streak with a 4-2 loss at Carolina Saturday. The Predators have won just two of their last six away games but are 5-1-1 in their last seven home contests.
- Filip Forsberg found the back of the net Saturday against the Hurricanes for this 29th of the season. After scoring 33 goals in 2015-16, he is looking to become the first Predators player with two career seasons with 30 or more goals.
- Ryan Ellis was credited with two assists Saturday. Nashville defensemen have now accounted for 119 combined assists this season, which is fifth most in the NHL.
NHL Headlines
- Pens-Sens Game 7 offers shot at history
- G Rinne in midst of historic playoff run
- Predators reach first Stanley Cup Final
- Ducks again fail to reach playoff goals
- Sydor rejoins Blues as assistant to Yeo
PA Parenteau and the Nashville Predators knew they were in for a tough game Saturday night at the surging Carolina Hurricanes, but couldn't do anything about it.
"We knew what we were getting ourselves into," he said after a 4-2 loss in Raleigh, N.C., "but maybe we didn't believe it."
The same could easily apply for Monday night, when Nashville starts a three-game homestand against the Arizona Coyotes, a team that has been trying to keep its head above water for most of the season. Yet, the Coyotes have resembled a playoff team in their two meetings with the Predators.
After a 3-2 shootout win Nov. 3 in Glendale, Ariz., Arizona made it two straight over Nashville on Dec. 10 with a 4-1 decision. In both games, the Coyotes have been able to cash in their chances while getting good games from their goalie.
That formula hasn't always been there for Arizona (26-36-9), which is coming off a 3-0 loss Saturday night to St. Louis in Glendale. The result didn't sit well with coach Dave Tippett, largely because the Coyotes no-showed in the first period, managing just three shots on net.
"We were so poor in the first period," he said. "It was maddening to say the least. We had some guys trying but the ability to get in a battle and wanting to get in a battle to allow you to play in the offensive zone or clear your own zone, there were just not enough guys that were engaged in that.
"When you don't do that, the whole game is whizzing by you."
That's how Predators coach Peter Laviolette felt against Carolina, which used its speed at every turn to control the game. It outshot Nashville 37-29, won 55 percent of the faceoffs and led 2-0 nine minutes into the match, forcing the Predators into chase mode throughout.
The Hurricanes' coach when they won the 2006 Stanley Cup, Laviolette had a feeling the game was going to happen like it did.
"They were quicker than us, they were harder in the areas than we were, they got themselves a lead and they made it difficult to generate offense," he said. "Their speed was a factor. We didn't play as fast as they did. They were able to get a lead and stay on it."
The result dropped Nashville to 35-25-11 for the season and into a third-place tie in the Central Division with St. Louis. The Blues own the tiebreaker since they have more wins, so the Predators will enter Monday night's game as the Western Conference's second wild-card, six points ahead of Los Angeles.
Monday night's match starts a sprint to the finish for Nashville, which plays its final 11 games over 20 days. Eight of those games are against teams who will either appear in the playoffs or are fighting for playoff spots.
Pekka Rinne, who played his 500th NHL game Thursday night and won a 2-1 overtime decision in Washington, is expected to start in net for the Predators. Veteran Mike Smith, who played well in the loss to St. Louis as he stopped 38 shots, will probably get the call for Arizona.

"The Miami Dolphins are committed to fighting cancer. By changing our name to the Dolphins Cancer Challenge and adding new elements to the event, we are hoping to expand our reach by asking everyone in our community to be a cancer fighter and help us raise funds that go directly to fighting the disease."
— Tom Garfinkel, Miami Dolphins President & CEO
Participants will enjoy VIP access to the concert and general access will be open to the public with proceeds from ticket sales also going to fight cancer. High-profile performers will be announced in the coming weeks when tickets go on sale.
Prior to DCC VII, the Dolphins Cancer Challenge hosted two Fall Family Fests this past October, with the objective of growing fundraising participants for DCC VII. The Fall Family Fest took place in two locations, on one day: Fort Lauderdale and Coral Gables. Children ages 3-16 were able to participate in a kids ride in a car-free, safe location with their families – from short loops up to 3-5 miles. Each event had activities for the entire family, including a kids zone with bounce houses, face painting, Dolphins Youth Programs activities and other entertainment.
The DCC is dedicated to improving people's lives through the financial support of innovative cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

March 31, 2009 toe update
March 2: At the Mat-Su Valley hospital, about 18 hours after I first discovered I had frozen the tips of all five of the toes on my right foot. (Despite appearances, the left foot is normal.)
March 12: This is an "after" picture. My doctor has the "before" picture, taken before she removed black-purple blisters on three of my toes; and the tips, which aren't really shown here, were still gray.
March 26: This is the first day I could truly put all my weight on my toes and walk normally without pain. The general feeling now, four weeks after the injury, is still one of tingling numbness and intermittent streaks of a burning pain. I still have to bandage it daily and still don't wear a shoe on that foot, to keep the circulation moving. As far as the level of numbness now, however, I have definitely had more severe numbness in my hands after long bike rides in the past. To the touch, I can feel most everything, even on the still-calloused tips. And, much to my doctor's annoyance, I haven't yet lost a single toenail yet.
