THE SHOREMature
I can't believe I'm doing this!, a tiny voice inside Joey's head sang out, over and over, as he guided his Corvette onto the Turnpike. At one o'clock on a Saturday morning, traffic in both directions was unbelievably heavy. And it seemed to grow even heavier, as they neared Philly and crossed over the bridge into Newark, which at that hour, appeared dark, deserted, and eerie, like a bombed-out war zone, with its boarded windows and shattered street lamps.
Joey's Corvette hurtled irresistibly onward like a bullet shot from a gun, through alternating stretches of light and darkness. Radio stations momentarily grew loud and strong, and then suddenly and unexpectedly faded away in deafening outbursts of cloudly static, only to be replaced by strange, new stations, which neither Joey or Bobbie had ever heard of, before.
Joey sat hunched forward, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. His heard hammered wildly inside his chest, and his mind and spirit seemed to speed on ahead of his car, toward their unseen and unknown destination. Bobbie's hand rested comfortably on his thigh, as if it had found a permanent home there, binding them together in this time and place. In the darkness, her stout silhouette sat next to him like a statue. Her eyes gleamed like dull, blue glass and in the fast, flashing spurts of intermittent light and shadow, he noticed that her lips were curved upward in a rigid smile, like something carved in wood or stone. After awhile, it almost seemed to Joey that their hearts were beating together as one heart, their lungs breathed deeply together as one pair of lungs, and their bodies had somehow melded together into one body.
He drove on, under Bobbie's patient direction. "Turn here...Make a right, here..."
Soon, through his partially opened window, his delicate nostrils detected a faint yet pervasive tang of salt in the thin, night air.
"Here! Turn here!" Bobbie commanded, suddenly excited.
He left the highway and drove down a steep embankment. "Stop!" Bobbie cried, when they reached the bottom.
Hand in hand, they half-ran, half-strolled down the short stretch of beach. A light breeze playfully rifled Joey's short, spiky, blond hair and tugged insistently at the seams of his tuxedo jacket. He saw a listless wave shatter against the shore, instantly dissolving into a long, thin thread of foamy, grey lace and slowly slither back out again, into the booming surf.
Bobbie stopped. Joey stopped, too.
Bobbie's hands disappeared behind her back. Her gown fluttered to her feet.
She stepped boldly out of that discarded circle of crumbled cloth like a butterfly emerging triumphantly from its cocoon. Bobbie reached for his hand, yanking him toward her. Her eyes gleamed like two dark marbles in the wan moonlight. Bobbie's luscious lips stretched wide in a ravenous smile and her naked breasts thumped softly against Joey's chest, as she once again hoisted herself upward on her toes and lifted her face toward his. Their arms eagerly encircled each other like clinging vines.
Joey sank slowly to his knees and Bobbie sank with him, her lips never leaving his lips. Bobbie pressed her fat fingertips against his chest, gently but firmly pushing backward onto a soft bed of warm, gritty sand. He barely heard the tiny, jingling sound his heavy, brass buckle made, as she undid his belt, and the ragged, sipping sound of his zipper being pulled all the way down.
She tugged frantically at his pants. Joey reached out a hand to assist her, lifting his buttocks out of the sand.
A small groan of despair and frustration escaped Bobbie's lips at the sight of his black, silk boxers. Joey obligingly yanked them all the way down to his ankles.
Joey's manhood was already as stiff and rigid as an iron post. It swung back and forth, from side to side, like a crazy, broken metronome. And then, it seemed to leap straight out toward Bobbie, offering itself to her, like some sort of ultimate prize.
Bobbie clamped her knees snugly around Joey's hips. She bent forward and wrapped the stubby thumb and four fingers of her right hand like tight, steel bands around his organ, which was as hot as fire poker, by then.
Bobbie heaved herself upward. Joey caught a fleeting flash of that golden thatch between her thighs, and then he turned his head. For just a second, his body tensed and he shuddered, shivering slightly, panting rapidly like a dog through his open mouth. And for just that one short second, Joey had a terrible feeling that something was wrong; this shouldn't be happening; he shouldn't be feeling this unbearable discomfort, as she guided him upward into that unseen and unknown darkness, somewhere deep inside her.
He heard Bobbie moan. "So big!...So big!..."
After another moment, everything was all right again, and he relaxed. She started to ride hi then, sliding up and down, up and down, up and down, rocking back and forth, back and forth, again and again, and again.
He couldn't believe how incredibly wonderful it felt. He started to rock back and forh with Bobbie, matching her slow, steady, seemingly effortless rythym with his own. Each time, though, he rammed himself just a little bit harder and a little more firmly into that deep, dark, secret, mysterious place between her heavy thighs. Each time, Bobbie grunted and grimaced, moaning and groaning softly. And each time, her giant, pillow-shaped breasts flung themselves upward and outward, and then fell back down again, slapping softly against her chest.
When he finally came, it, too, was like nothing he had ever imagined before in this world. In the whirling darkness behind his tightly shut eyes, he could picture it clearly. White-hot and burning as the Sahara sun at mid-day, like molten lava or iron, streaming endlessly upward in that sluice, in the tight, narrow tunnel, inside of him, pouring out of him, and he was powerless to do anything about it---not that he wanted to!---except just lie there and feel it flow out of him and straight into Bobbie. The fingers of both his hands dug like talons into the sand.
Then it was Bobbie who suddenly turned hard and heavy as a huge block of cement. Her head titled all the way back on her neck. Bobbie's eyes were closer and her lips were fixed in a grim, straight line. A shudder jolted Bobbie's entire body like a lightning bolt from the crown of her luxurious, blonde-haired head, all the way down to the blunt, red tips of her plump, little toes. She shuddered a second time, and even a third time. Her round shoulders shook as if from a chill, although there wasn't even the barest breath of a breeze anywhere near them at Joey could discern.
Bobbie's head fell forward, the knob of her chin lolling brokenly against her upper chest. Bobbie's shoulders slumped and her pear-shaped toro sagged, melting, dripping like candlewax around her hips. Her mouth curled upward at the corners, in what, Joey automatically assumed, was a sad, mournful expression. He thought she looked disoriented and vaguely disappointed, as if what they'd just done together had not been everything she'd secretly hoped it would be.
He started to get a tight, sick feeling deep in the dark, empty pit of his stomach.
Her eyes fluttered apart like a pair of window shades. A tiny, white light snapped on in her eyes. She smiled a most radiant smile and looked down at him, beaming her approval.
"Oh, wow," Joey gasped in a ragged, rusty whisper. "That was fantastic." There was just no other way to describe it.
"You, too, sweetie." Grinning slyly, she said, "That was your first time, wasn't it?"
He wanted to look away, but he forced himself to straight into those bright, glittering eyes. "Yeah," he admitted sheepishly. He instantly felt his cheeks redden.
"Well, you have nothing to worry about," she told him. "You get an A+ in that department, just like you get an A+ in every other department. You're one strong, sexy, good-looking stud. And from now on, you're all mine. I'm never going to let anyone take you away from me."
Once again, she immersed him in her shadow, as she bent forward and fastened her lips to his. She anointed the blunt knob of his chin with a tender kiss, and the under-shelf of his jaw, and his nubby Adam's apple, and so on down his chest and belly, all the while disengaging herself from him as gently and unobtrustively as possible. She plopped her bulky body down hard, next to him, on the sand. As she did so, her long, heavy, left arm inadvertantly crashed like a broken tree limb aainst the bridge of Joey's nose.
Joey yelped involuntarily. "Ow...hey!"
"Oops." Bobbie couldn't help but giggle. "Sorry."
He joined in her laughter. "That's okay."
"So, you wanna go for a swim?" Bobbie asked. She sounded eager.
"Nah. I think I'd rather just lie here for awhile."
"Me, too."
He tried to snake his hand underneath her neck and she lifted her neck from the sand to accomodate him. She rolled toward him, laying her head on his shoulder. Her right breast snuggled warm and comfortable against his hairy, sweaty chest. Joey coiled his right around Bobbie's shoulder. Bobbie langoriously stretched her right arm across his muscular abdomen. Her splayed fingers rested less than an inch from his flaccid organ. But for the moment, at least, it was too tired to respond to her tantalizing nearness.
That was when a picture of the condom that his father had given him in its bright, red and black wrapped, languishing peacefully in the pocket of his tuxedo jacket, popped into his mind, as clear and shaprt as any photograph. "CRAP!!!"
Bobbie started. "Sweetie, what is it? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," he assured her and kissed her forehead. "Never mind." He thought to himself, yeah, well, stuff happens. There was nothing he could do about it now, so why worry? He glanced at his digital Timex watch and saw that it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
Reluctantly, he said, "I guess I'd better get you home. Your parents will be worried."
"Oh, I've been out a lot later than this," she replied in a casual tone. "My parents won't mind. Besides, they know I'm with you. They trust you."
"Well, this is the first time I've ever been out this late in my life. My old man is going to rip me a new one."
Bobbie stirred sluggishly to her feet. She stepped back inside that discarded circle of stiff, white cloth. As she bent over, he buttocks gleamed dully, like two huge half-moons.
Joey buttoned his shirt, taking his time. He yanked his shorts and his trousers back up to his waist, zipped his fly, and buckled his belt. He found his rumpled jacket where Bobbie had been lying it, using it for a blanket. Joey shook it several times, hoping to get all the wrinkles and sand out it, and slipped it back on.
He realized with a start that his tie was missing. For the life of him, he couldn't remember taking it off. Or his cummerbund, for that matter. After a minute or two of fumbling about, he discovered his tie lying like a crumpled, black snake, in the sand. he scooped up his tie in his right hand and stuffed it in his pocket.
Bobbie was busy stuffing her breasts back inside the amazingly still-stiff sheath of her gown. She happened to look up and caught Joey watching her with unabashed enthusiasm.
She smiled. "You really like these little puppies, don't you?" she asked him.
"Oh, yeah," Joey readily responded, his tongue protruding half-way over his lower lip.
Her smile grew wider, sly and salacious. "They like you, too."
He walked over to Bobbie and kissed her on her lips. "Thank you," he said.
"Don't say that," she said, looking down at her naked feet. "It makes me feel like a whore."
Hand in hand, they trudged back up the short, sloping stretch of beach. They got in Joey's car and headed for home.

This is Youth and you are watching CineRill
Please wait for 3 seconds, we are loading Youth stream.
Please enter captcha to continue to video.
Genre: Drama
Michael Caine
Rachel Weisz
Harvey Keitel
Paolo Sorrentino
Duration: 118 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Dec 04, 2015
IMDb: 6.5
The heart of Paolo Sorrentino's Youth lies in the lead composer Fred Ballinger's (Michael Caine) most famous work, Simple Songs. The queen will knight him if he conducts that number in a concert for her Prince Phillip.
Ballinger refuses because he wrote it for his famous soprano wife Melanie to perform and she's gone. Not dead, we eventually learn, but frozen into a silent scream.
Ballinger is embarrassed by his fame for that simple composition, instead of all his weightier works. Sinilarly, serious actor Jimmy Tree (Paul Dano) is regretfully best known for his heavily costumed role as a robot in some special effects trivia. By disappearing into the robot his disappeared his serious work.
The film is woven out of such paradoxes. That is, it's a stab at capturing our complex reality of life. Like Ballinger's signature piece, the film is a simple story ? a mixed bag of folks at holiday and rehab at a luxurious hotel/spa in Wiesel (i.e., "pointed") in the Swiss Alps. But everything simple is complex.
Ballinger feels that he can only relate to music and admits to having neglected his wife and daughter Lena. "You were right. Music is all I understand." But he remembers his tremors when he fell into love at first sight of Melanie. His current detachment expresses his pain rather than the apparent lack of feeling.
His buddy film director Mick Boyle (Harvey Keitel) is scripting his testament film but with his screenwriters is bogged down on the ending. In his Eureka moment he will allot the deathbed speech to the dying man's wife, not him. But the film dies when that actress Brenda Morel (Jane Fonda) pulls out of the project, their 12th together over 53 years. She first explains she needs the money from a TV series she's been offered so needs to prefer. But she goes on to declare his career dead, his last films crap, in a cruel candour all offered ? of course ? in the name of friendship. Love and hate bubble together there.
In a chillingly expressive shot, on the left side of the otherwise black screen Fonda's old, veined hand talon-like caresses the sized Kettle's cheek. That's Jane Fonda's hand!?! The film is titled Youth but, paradoxically again, it's about the old, the sere not the juicy. But here youth and age are the same telescope. Through one end it's youth looking at the future in closeup. Through the other it's the past, galloping further and further away.
With Pamela's withdrawal, Boyle knows his project is dead but determines to start another. In his last scene with Ballinger he says "You say that emotions are overrated. But that's bullshit. Emotions are all we've got." On that he strides out to the balcony and jumps to his death. Shattered in guilt, Pamela runs amok in the airplane and has to be bloodily subdued. With his gesture Boyle refuted Pamela's disrespect: "C'mon, life goes on even without that cinema bullshit." Another "simple song" here ? bitterly comic but sombre.
Sorrentino gives the film's last shot to the dead but beaming Boyle. That is, he gives the last silent word to Boyle's faith in emotion. When Ballinger conducts his simple masterpiece for the queen he tears up over its emotional force. Against Melanie's silent scream Ballinger proffers his musical articulation of his ardor. It speaks for as well as to everyone. As in the film's last "simple song," over the end titles, he's in full content and out of control.
So the composition that seems simple but beautiful turns out resonant and profound, especially in full orchestration. That's the funny thing about life: the simple is so complex. Conversely, as the young girl compliments Tree about one off his serious films, he taught her that the big things in life are essentially simple. Everybody doesn't have a clue what they're about ? so it doesn't matter. As Ballinger early told Boyle, "Levity is also perverse." Not here. Here the light is how we handle the heavy.
Hence too the tension between the intellect and the senses. The young masseuse speaks of the understanding that only touch can give. Ballinger is proud he never became an intellectual. The screenwriter scenes are a parody of literary creation. On the other hand, the sensually rich Miss Universe reveals an astonishing intelligence, dissolving that antithesis. When Boyle hires the plain looking young hooker just to walk with him, he seems to be buying an emotion not a sensation. When we see the girl's mother seeing her off to her "job," Sorrentino seems to encapsulate the tradition of modern Italian cinema (as embodied by Fellini). The girl carries the neorealist exploration of poverty into the contemporary spa's opulence.
Another moment of historical resonance involves Tree, who is at the spa studying the people for clues to his next role. We finally learn his character when he appears in costume, freezing all the white-clad dinners ? as Hitler. Tree pulls out off his project because "I have to choose what is really worth telling: horror or desire? And I choose desire. You, each one of you, you open my eyes, you made me see that I should not wasting my time on the senseless fear?." Mutatis mutandis, that could be Pamela's reason too. As desire trumps horror both Boyle and Ballinger nurse charged memories of a childhood attraction to the same girl, unconsummated so ever fresh in their mind.

Hi, i'm looking for a wordpress plugin that already exists or not that let me start a community of artists where they can sell prints made by me. What i need is:
- user must register - user can upload the images from the frontend - user can have a personal gallery that other people can see - user and people who see the picture and gallery should be able to share in common socialnetwork - the home page should be a grid with the latest images and featured choosed by me - the people should be able to contact the author of the images to request a print or alternatively directly purchase the print on the site based on the dimension, kind of paper and the artist fee. In this case the site should use the advanced paypal function to divide the printmaker fee from the artist fee. - a like, plus or love function for the images could be useful
To understand what i mean you can take as reference: society6.com fineartamerica.com and cgcookie.com/blender/gallery/
I hope someone could help me.
Best Regards,
Simone Pompei

What I like most about the Swedish language is although it has a formal tense, it is rarely used. Unlike for example German.

Arriving at the airport in Stockholm was a strange feeling. It felt like I was finally coming home after a very long vacation (8 months long). The nice part was how quick everything went.

"Excellent Anguilla Experience"
My husband and I snuck away for Thanksgiving week to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We did a lot of research regarding the right villa for us...we are so happy that we chose Seabird! It was truly amazing. Delphine met us at the airport, had a cab waiting, escorted us to the villa, where the rest of the Rainbow Isle team was, and showed us all around the villa. We were truly awed when we first walked in. The views are stunning. The villa itself is modern, well laid out and impeccably kept. The pool and pool area are gorgeous. It is a short 5 minute walk to the best beach ever (Rendezvous Bay (be sure to try the Sunshine Shack and order a lobster a day ahead)). We were concerned about the salt pond either being smelly or not pretty. Neither was the case. There was absolutely no smell from the villa and it was actually quite pretty to look at from all the amazing angles from the villa. The Rainbow Isle staff did a great job keeping us comfortable throughout the trip. We were also very impressed with the privacy Seabird offers. We were concerned that the villa next door may be too close. In fact, we never once heard a peep from there (even though a family was staying there who we saw on the shared road one day) and we felt like we were in our own universe. We plan to return to Anguilla and will definitely be staying at Seabird again, and we look forward to working with Delphine and her team again!

This is our second trip in 7 months. Seabird Villa was our first experience in Anguilla and it has much to do with why my family has fell in love with this island. We only had four in our party and the villa is probably big enough to comfortably sleep 12 or more (just guessing). The property is a short walk from Rendezvous Bay beach and five minutes drive from a plethora of other beaches. The property sits on a salt pond and there is definitely no odor. And surprisingly few or no mosquitoes this time or last visit in August, 2013. The concierge, Delphine, is extraordinarily accommodating. The staff services the villa six days per week. Ermyne, head housekeeper, even cooked for us on the last day (and would have every day if we had wanted her to). The thing that resonates about this villa most is .....trust. You trust the concierge who will make sure your every need from airport in to airport out is taken care of. You trust the house staff to make your life carefree. You trust Anguilla.....to fulfill your dreams.

Dear Davis Family, We are very pleased for having provided such a favorable experience for you and your family once again.

"The Best Vacation"
This was our first villa rental experience and our first time to anguilla. It will not be our last. I was nervous to rent a vacation home based on internet pictures and reviews but Seabird exceeded our expectations. The villa was spacious and immaculate. Seabird had everything we needed to relax and enjoy. We opted to have some items pre-stocked for us which made settling in easier. The property was picturesque and secluded. The pool was perfect and provided hours of entertainment for our two children (8 & 10.) The salt pond had zero odor and was serene. The lovely Delphine and the rest of the staff took amazing care of us went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying every moment of this lovely home and island. Rendezvous Bay is a short walk from Seabird and was our favorite beach (although they are all gorgeous.) Some of our favorite lunch spots were Sunshine Shack (Rendezvous), Hank's (Shoal Bay) & Smokey's at The Cove. Some of our favorite dinners were Veya, Trattoria Tramonto and of course, Dune Preserve. We also enjoyed the delicious ice cream at Tropical Treats Fun House. Anguilla was easy to get around and is gorgeous and relaxing. The people were friendly and welcoming. We've been to many islands and anguilla is our new favorite. I would highly recommend anguilla and of course, Seabird Villa. We can't wait to return.

"Great vacation Villa"
I am a travel agent in NJ and after traveling to anguilla for the past 20 years, fell in love with Seabird Villa. From the moment you arrive at the ferry dock, Delphine greets you and helps you on to the taxi/van. Once arriving to the villa, she acts as the concierge/manager and is available for any needs one would have. The villa has every amenity. The location is fantastic with wonderful views of the salt pond and ocean. I recommend this property to all of my clients. (Although I should keep it for myself.)

"Wonderful !"
After vacationing on anguilla since 1990, first with my husband and then with our children, we have stayed all over this lovely island. One of our highlights was our recent stay at Seabird Villa. Cannot say enough about our housekeeper, the property manager, Delphine, and the villa itself. The property is in wonderful condition and in a great location. Don't even worry about the salt pond as it is beautiful and never had a problem with any odor - just beautiful birds.

We appreciate you and look forward to welcoming you back to Seabird Villa next year. Take care and see you real soon! Sunny Regards, Delphine Seabird Villa Anguilla

"So good I wanted to keep it a secret!"
We were met at the airport by Delphine, who acted as main contact and concierge for us prior to and during our stay. Delphine had a taxi (van) waiting for us at the airport. Upon arriving to the gated villa we were met in the entry foyer by the amiable house staff. We were greeted with fruit punch, rum punch and snacks. Our pantry had been fully stocked with the groceries we requested from Delphine. Although the photos of the villa are very good, we were taken aback by how modern and stylish Seabird is. Fine finishings throughout. A/C throughout. Infinity pool. A business center is attached to the same building as the master bedroom. Wifi throughout the entire place. Security system with alarm. Seabird sits on a salt pond. There is no odor. I could not figure out why this salt pond had no odor because the other two or three salt ponds we happened upon, on the island, did have odors. We did notice when walking around the salt pond (headed to Rendezvous Bay) that there was a lot of foam on and around the salt pond...is it being chemically treated? Dunno. But we do know that we walked the 4 minutes to Rendezvous every day and smelled nothing. The villa, surrounding neighborhood and island are disarmingly safe. The house staff of Ermyne, Ken and Donnetta were available but not intrusive. The kitchen is about as well equipped as a restaurant so we were able to cook many meals. Seabird Villa was so good that we had decided not to write a trip review because we didn't want "the masses" to know. We had decided that word of mouth was good enough...and we would come back to this place exclusively (ok, ok, we didn't want competition for our weeks). But we decided that they do such a good job that they deserve the accolades. We have already booked our return trip. Thank you Seabird Villa and crew!

Dear Work2Vaca..., Thank you for taking your precious time to share your recent Seabird villa experience. It is a sincere pleasure to receive your wonderful description of both your Anguilla and Seabird Villa experience. Your generous, thorough and honest response is a wonderful compliment to what we all work hard to accomplish for all our guests at Seabird Villa. We are very pleased for having provided such a favorable experience for you and your family. Ermyne, Donetta and Ken send you and your family their very best. They felt you were a wonderful and most generous guest and they enjoyed taking care of you. Additionally, thank you for your comments on the salt pond. It is not chemically treated, the foam is just the natural substance from the pond. We are aware that guests have many questions about it and it is our hope that your review will shed some light into their concerns. Thank YOU for overcoming any hesitation in sharing with others what is a pretty much a "well kept secret"; Anguilla and Seabird Villa. We appreciate it and we appreciate you. We are very excited for your return, See you in soon! Sincerely, Delphine Seabird Villa Anguilla B.W.I

"Great Vacation!"
My family stayed at the Seabird Villa the week of august 10 and had a great time. The villa was very nice and had more than enough room. The daily service we had took care of all our needs and was able to assist us with any reservations and questions that we had. Delphine even secured a photographer for us to have some professional pictures done on the beach. I know many are concerned about the salt ponds that you see from the villa. While the view of the ocean if further out, there were no issues with the salt pond and we did not have any problems with mosquitos while there. Our stay was wonderful and the beaches on anguilla are beautiful. Seabird Villa is down the road from Rendenvous Beach which was also very nice. Shoal Beach was our favorite of the ones we visited. I would recommend this villa to others and the wonderful services that were provided.

We hope that you will equally enjoy the photos and add them to your collection of memories that will last for a lifetime. We appreciate your comments on the salt pond as well as we are aware that guests have concerns about it.

"Didnt want to leave!"
My wife and I accompanied my sister in law and her husband on a week long stay at Seabird Villa in late april 2013. The instant responsive attention from the manager, Delphine, had us booked and eagerly awaiting our arrival. Upon arrival at the ferry terminal, Delphine was waiting with a big smile and our travel trouble instantly evaporated as we were promptly whisked away in our waiting taxi. As we pulled up to the gated property my initial anxiety about the upkeep of the property instantly vanished and left me feeling silly about the worry...the property out front was perfectly manicured with lush vegetation just like the pictures showed. We were greeted at the front door by Delphine and the first of her lovely housekeepers and we entered into a gorgeous great room. The house is truly as pictured, only better, because it is real and full of light with amazing views across the huge pool over the salt pond and out to St Maarten. This Villa is amazing and perfect for groups of friends/family with excellent private rooms and high quality fixtures in every room, a fully stocked kitchen with grill had us eating in more than expected, and comfy pool deck furniture that kept us planted next to the pool for most of the day. Our neighbor villa, was so well hidden that you actually forget its there, and forget about seeing anyone else around the property...it's for all intents and purposes, your own private piece of paradise. The salt pond has no odor (others on the island do, I'm looking at you Sandy Ground...) and was a relaxing place to stroll around in the evening. The walk to Rendevous took 7 minutes and the drive, if desired was 1minute and change. The design and amenities of the villa brought us to Seabird, but it was Delphine and her amazing staff that greeted us with big smiles and open arms that will bring us back!

"Seabird Villa a Luxurious Villa on Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla"
Our extended family has visited and re-visited this luxurious villa the last few seasons. the property is private and pristenely kept by the staff who always seem to anticipate your needs. Have a meal prepared??? no problem... need more anything. there it is... we are 3 generations. the home is spread out enough for being cozy or solo. so many nooks to cozy up in!!! We would find ourselves lazying around much of the day after tennis, or a long walk on rendevous bay, which is a short 7 min walk down the road. plenty of little joints for lunch and drinks down there... our favorite??? garvey's shack serving up the most awesome frozen mojito . Ever. ever!!! the pond which sits directly in front of the property attracts the most beautiful fauna. ...Never a pondy smell... just serene and peaceful. The two weeks flew by and yet also felt long and delicious...

Health Benefits of Italian Foods
Think beyond heavy, cheesy dishes and focus on these Italian foods that have essential health benefits.

These essential Italian fruits are an amazing source of vitamin C and lycopene — an antioxidant that boosts heart health and also could give some protection against prostate cancer. Lycopene is even more available to your body when tomatoes are cooked and oil is added, which is the perfect excuse to make a batch of tomato sauce.
By Kerri-Ann Jennings, M.S., R.D.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats — they help by lowering your "bad" LDL cholesterol, especially when used to replace saturated fat. Olive oil also has inflammation-soothing phytonutrients, but these can degrade when olive oil is exposed to light and air, or cooked over high heat. So buy olive oil in metal containers instead of glass (or just store in the cabinet), and use it over lower heats.
Red Wine
Red wine has phytonutrients, including resveratrol and anthocyanins, which are linked to heart health. To reap the benefits, though, moderation is key (one glass a day for women, two for men). More than that can harm, rather than help, your health.
Pungent garlic is a staple of Italian cuisine, and it has a host of health benefits. It's linked to heart health and a reduced risk of certain cancers. Plus, it's thought to be an antifungal (and antibacterial?) agent.
This traditional Italian grain is high in fiber, protein and iron. It has a chewy texture and nutty flavor, making it a tasty way to get whole grains into your diet.
With a silky texture and crunchy pop from the seeds, fresh figs are a decadent autumn treat, but they're healthy too. Just two figs give you 4 grams of fiber and almost one-tenth of your daily potassium dose.
This nightshade plant is packed with several phytonutrients that act as antioxidants — quelling damage from free radicals. It also has a toothsome texture that makes it a satisfying main stage replacement for meat.
Fish is an excellent lean protein that's also high in selenium and niacin. And oily fish, such as sardines, are high in heart- and brain-healthy Omega-3s.
Ricotta is an excellent source of protein and also calcium: Just half a cup of ricotta delivers 14 grams of protein and 25 percent of your daily calcium need. The calories in whole milk ricotta can add up fast, though, so choose part-skim ricotta to slash some calories without sacrificing a lot of flavor.
White Beans
Italians often cook with white beans — pasta e fagioli is a classic example. White beans are loaded with fiber, protein and potassium, making them an excellent choice at lunch or dinner.
Leafy Greens
Leafy greens like escarole, broccoli rabe and spinach make frequent appearances in Italian meals, and that's a good thing, as leafy greens are packed with vitamins, including folate as well as vitamins A, C and K. Plus, they add fiber to your meal (fiber keeps you full and promotes a healthy digestive tract).

The wunderkind - nicknamed the "little Mozart" - roared through Schubert's Fantasia in F minor in a duet alongside the Chinese pianist Lang Lang, who performed at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing last month.
As one of the youngest musicians ever to appear at the Royal Albert Hall throughout the Proms' 114-year history, Marc was only too aware of the significance of the occasion.
Speaking after the concert, he said: "I got to play at this wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous hall and it was very overwhelming.
"I think it went well, I'm pleased with my performance. I wasn't nervous when I went up on the stage but it was intense and fun. There's nothing more exciting than feeling yourself, the piano and the other artists like Lang Lang. I've performed this piece twice before with him and he's fantastic - he's always been my idol."
The Macau-born performer lives in Los Angeles, where he is taught at home, and flies to China and Detroit to study the piano with his teacher Professor Minduo Li, based at Shanghai Conservatory.
He started the piano at the age of two and first performed to an audience a year later. Aged six, he played cello and piano solos with the backing of symphony orchestras.
Marc's precocious talent has earned him comparisons to Mozart, who gave his first performance at the age of six, and Marc is flattered by the comparison. He said: "I definitely take it as a compliment but I think maybe it's a little bit silly, because Mozart was a great composer.
"He made up melodies and he was a good pianist but not a grand virtuoso player like Liszt, and like I want to be."
But making music is not all that Marc, an only child, wants to achieve in life. He is also passionate about spreading the word about classical music.
He said: "I want to bring classical music to people and to children. I want to see parents introducing it to their sons and daughters, libraries put out musical programmes and schools make it a part of the syllabus.
"I saw a lot of young faces in the crowd at the Proms and that made me very happy. It's not like the concerts I've played in the States where the average age in the audience is 50 or 60."
This is Marc's first visit to London, and he says he is looking forward to exploring the sights. It will make a change from his eight-hours a day practice schedule.
His mother Chloe said: "I'm still too overwhelmed by the experience of seeing him perform to talk. A few years ago he saw a DVD of [Evgeny] Kissin playing at the Proms and he said 'I'd like to do that'.

THE JOY OF PRAYER. St Augustine – The Gospel According to Spiritism Chapter 27, Item 23. Come, you who wish to believe: the heavenly spirits make haste to proclaim great things to you. God, my children, opens his treasures to distribute their benefits to you.

St Augustine – The Gospel According to Spiritism
Chapter 27, Item 23
Come, you who wish to believe: the heavenly spirits make haste to proclaim great things to you.
God, my children, opens his treasures to distribute their benefits to you.
O disbelievers! If you only knew how good for the heart faith is and how it leads the soul to repentance and prayer!
Prayer! Ah! how touching are the words that leave the lips at the time one prays!
Prayer is a divine mist that destroys the highest heat of the passions; the firstborn daughter of faith, it leads us to the pathway that takes us to God.
In introspection and solitude you are with God; no more mysteries for you, because he unveils himself to you.
O Apostles of thought, life is before you. Your soul detaches itself from matter and launches itself onto those infinite and ethereal worlds that poor human beings fail to acknowledge.
Press onward! press onward along the pathways of prayer and you will hear the voices of angels. What harmony!
No longer the confused noises and shrill sounds of the earth, but the lyres of archangels and the sweet, soft voices of the seraphim....
....lighter than the morning breezes when they play among the leaves of your great forests.
Amongst what delights you shall walk! Your cannot describe such bliss; it enters through all your pores, so alive and refreshing is the spring from which you drink through prayer!
Sweet voices and heady fragrances that the soul hears and breathes when it launches itself onto those unknown and inhabited realms through prayer!
Without the confusion of carnal desires, all aspirations are divine. And you, too, pray as Christ did carrying his cross to Golgotha, to Calvary.
Carry your cross and you will feel the sweet emotions that passed through his soul even as he was carrying the infamous cross. he was going to die, but in order to live the heavenly life in the dwelling of his Father.

I've got a seriously sparkly new engagement ring, but now that summer is here, I find I'm constantly trying to keep it clean from sunscreen, sand, moisturizer, and all kinds everyday dirt. I just discovered a brilliant method for at-home cleaning, and I just had to share it with you gals...
This will work on any precious metals and stones you want to keep their sparkliest, but it's particularly effective on diamonds:
Your diamond ring (or earrings, or any other piece of precious jewelry) will shine like the top of the Chrysler building, I promise! Just keep your fingerprints off and make sure to let it fully air-dry. Pretty genius--for mere pennies!--isn't it? Do you ladies have any at-home cleaning methods you care to share? How do you keep your jewelry sparkling? Discuss!

As a digital marketing agency or freelancer, you know how important local search is. You know that any business will have a hard time reaching that coveted top rank organically if they don't claim the top spots in local searches. But your clients don't. For them, the bottom line is what's important. It falls on you to make them understand how they will get there.Bridging the gap between the bottom line and local SEO services is no easy feat. It's not enough to know the numbers and the jargons. You have to reach out and speak in a manner that your clients will understand.
Here are 10 tips you must never forget:
1. Onboarding:
This is the most important part of selling local SEO to your clients. Before you dive into discussions about local SEO pricing, make sure they understand what will happen. Help manage their expectations because, trust us, you don't want those expectations working against you. No self-respecting SEO will agree to the client wanting to be number one on Google SERPs in a week.
2. Introduce them to the pack:
Specifically, the Google Local Pack. Almost a year ago, Google shook the Local Pack by trimming it down from seven to three. This means your clients have slimmer chances of getting included, but when they do get that spot, they will reap the rewards. Ads are coming to Local Packs as well, and that's a sure sign that Google will boost this for both desktop and mobile searches. Introduce them to this now, so it's easier to inform them about paid ads on the Local Pack later.
3. Take a NAP
Not on the job, please. The NAP (name, address, phone number) of a business determines how easy it is for clients to find information about their company. Show them how a regular business search works and explain what the incorrect NAP details will mean for their business.
4. Use the pizza analogy:
It won't do any good to assault your client with numbers. The best way to tell them about local internet marketing is by discussing something familiar: the search for the best pizza in town. At the end of the day, all pizza establishments just want to sell their pizza. But they want clients to know they are the best, and to achieve that, clients have to see why they stand out. In SEO terms, that means they have to outrank their competition to get more customers.
5. Audit
After giving clients a little insight into the core of SEO, you now have to enforce the importance of SEO with hard facts. Scores of websites get penalized for having duplicate content. More are stumped because their site pages are not optimized properly. Track that against the number of potential customers they're losing because they didn't understand the complicated local environment.
6. Surround yourself with powerful allies
Local allies, specifically. Though Matt Cutts said social signals do not affect search rankings, the power of social media manifests in other ways. For example, this increases the shareability and virality of your content, be it in the form of infographics or videos. When your post is shared by a known local figure, this cements your image as someone of authority. And this tells your client that they, too, can be an authoritative figure in their chosen niche if they choose to work with you.
7. Tell a story
Engage clients. Tell them how your local SEO company started with local listings, too. Aim for a balance of humility and strategy. After all, being featured as a prominent local business does wonders for one's credibility. Talk to them about your achievements. Always go back to the pizza analogy–what is your special ingredient?
8. Build credibility
As an SEO expert, your client base will want to see you walk the talk. That means being credible in Google's eyes and in your other clients'. This should not be too hard if you've been working on your own Google ranking–and really, who in this line of work wouldn't?
9. Garner the good reviews:
Remember, clients want to increase their bottom line. They get that through sales. To sell, they need customers. And customers love to talk. Find the good reviews and show clients how those influence their brand. Find the negative ones as well, to tell the client why they shouldn't be so neglectful of their local brand image.
10. Encourage feedback:
As part of introducing local SEO to your clients, you want to build trust. That means showing them you're not just eager to get their money. Show them you care about what they think. Listen to what they have to say and assure them you will work on areas they feel can be improved.
When selling local SEO to your client base, there's only one thing you have to remember: think the way they do. Determine the aspects that matter to them, whether that's popularity, a strong customer base, or a high ROI. When you crack their mystery, onboarding need not be difficult. You can fill their heads with numbers all you like, but if they don't see how it benefits them, you won't get anywhere.
Your local SEO success begins with us. Schedule a call and find out how to be the only local SEO provider that your clients will need.

The group's paints divisions especially had had a good opening quarter buoyed by the property makeover boom.
For the March quarter the group reported underlying pre-tax profits of £67m after a shock loss a year ago. However, new chief executive John McAdam sounded a warning that raw material cost rises may be on the way.
National Starch - one of the main factors behind a profits warning from the company last year - achieved an £11m increase in trading profits to £50m.

A Day at the Beach
A D a y a t t h e B e a c h, O r L e s s o n s i n S w i m m i n g :
Pouring from a cup without a handle
waterfalling down
past a fisherman's hook
my clothes are wet
but my mouth is dry.
Ships all look the same from the bottom up.
There are some waters I'd rather not get to know.
I drape myself across the rocks
Touching gently wet noses
I climbed a mountain once
Naked as the rock
Dug my toes deep into a crevice
Searching for a spring to fill my mouth
And now I comb fish into my hair
I can make sandcastles
And they never wash away.
I take lessons from an oyster -
Scooping pearls into my mouth
Rolling them around my tongue like French.
Je désapprends.


text: Hi! I'm so glad I found you all. I just started planning our trip for the beginning of February with husband and kids ages 2 and 5. I have discovered the wonderful deals by flying out of Buffalo, so we are no longer going to put ourselves through driving but is this the best time to book??? I can get tickets for $216US return right now, is it likely to go lower or should we wait? I'd love to fly non-stop (I saw the post about SW airlines) but I'm concerned about waiting until 3 months before to book. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks! (I'm sure this is the first of MANY questions!)

The Dogond Tree
In the castle made of Endillen'shen's sacred bones placed in the center of the Elven realm, a single bud burst from the ground. One of the youngest Elves discovered the small, frail green blade, a Elven woman named Dogond, meaning "star" in their ancient tongue.
Alone she nutured the fragile bud into a tree, which grew larger and larger in leaps and bounds each year. The leaves were the shapes of stars, smooth and flawless.
Dogond was welcomed into the Council eagerly, her great magic multiplying and growing with the tree. She poured more and more of herself and her love into what had become the most magnificent tree in the many passing years. Many believed Endillen'shen's soul thrived inside the beautiful tree, and Dogond was so connected with it.
The unusual tree's magic tendril stretched across the entire forrrest, creating the protected, dangerous boundaries that we know today. But as the Elf's tradition of their beach rituals declined from very often to only each century, Dogond and the tree weakened, almost wilting. Thus the forrest entered into a drought of misery, where the birds where silent and the wind was still. The Elves began to panic, unsure of what was happening. The great tree and Dogond, it's keeper, seemed to be dying, so the forrest itself about them seemed to be dying as well.
A full moon came, the silvery moonlight mixing with the starlight. Dogond lay by the tree, preparing for her death, the star-shaped leaves blackened and falling from their branches. The Elves gathered around, crying quiet silver tears. They began to sing, a low sad song, their voices mixing with great magic. The enchantment continued to build and build. This song would be known for the rest of history as "The Last Song", and would be sung at each Elf's death, and when Unaaldri brought it to the humans, would be sung at each Human's funeral and would evoke great power. The song then ended, and with her last breath, Dogond murmured the final words.
As the sunlight spread itself over the horizon, Dogon melted into the great roots of the tree. Pink buds appeared on every branch, blooming to the most beautiful of flowers. Ever since, the spring the pink flowers bloomed, the summer the emerald star-shaped jewels of leaves lingered, the fall the leaves turned from green, to red, to black, and in winter, they fell to the floor of the castle.
The great tree was named the Dogond tree, and it's magical, strange leaves where used in the Elf Queen's secret ritual.

Never Gonna Dance Again
It's sophomore year, and it's the Fall Ball.
Bella's excited and can't wait to see her crush on the dance floor, but also just dance with her friends.
Cameron is also excited, but he could care less about another dance party. He's only going because of his current girlfriend, Tory.
At the party, Duke, Cameron's best friend, decides to dare Cameron to dance with Bella (whom Cameron really likes) But when Tory finds out that they almost kiss, she goes mad and sends Bella into a coma.
Chapter 1
September 21 -- 8:00 p.m. --
As his father's car comes up and stops at the entrance of the school, Cameron gets out and straightens his nice, black suit and red tie. He brushes his shaggy, blonde hair out of the way from his dark, blue eyes. Cameron smiles.
His father waves bye as Cameron walks up to the main entrance doors. Above them, he sees a painted sign that reads, "Fall Ball". He smiles as he sees a familiar signature at the bottom corner. Tory...
Cameron entered the building and was soon no later greeted by his group of friends. They were all standing there, looking all cool as if they were they best.
And let's face it, they were!
Jack was the first to greet Cameron. "Hey buddy! We've been waiting for you!" Jack smiled and gave him a bro hug.
Cameron smiled. "Oh really? That's nice. By the way, nice tux."
On Jack was a regular black suit and tie. His hair was a nice, even red hair and his eyes were just the right color of ember green. The kind that makes you melt even if you hated him.
Jack smiled and thanked Cameron.
Sam was the next to greet Cameron. "No Jack, you're the only one who has been waiting for him." Sam said, getting his jokes on Jack before it was too late. He then faced Cameron. "Hey Cam."
Cameron noted Sam's usual 'nice' outfit. It looked just like Jack's, but had more blue in it.
Next, Richard, Duke, and John came up. All doing different things to greet Cameron. Soon after, their girlfriends came.
It took no time for Tory, in a beautiful yellow gown with little flowers in it. Her short blonde hair was bouncing just above her shoulders. She smiled and kissed Cameron upon the lips. "Hey, baby."
"Hey." Cameron gave her another kiss.
"You ready?" Tory asked as she grabbed Cameron's hand. Cameron didn't have time to answer as they all entered the doors that lead into the dance floor.
8:12 p.m. --
Bella knocked on the door. "Hurry up, Lauren!" Bella sighed and knocked again.
"Hold on, Bella!" Lauren sighed. As she finished up with her make-up, she finally opened the door. "Jeez, you know it takes a long time for me to get dressed!" Lauren shook her head. "Any ways, what do you think?"
Lauren did some super model poses as her friends took a good look at her. Lauren smiled as her sparkly blue dress shined in the light.
Maxy stood up in her short black dress. "You look nice!" Maxy then started for the door. "Its time to go now." Maxy grabbed her keys and headed to the door.
Camery followed with Rose, Bella, and Lexi behind her.
Bella turned around at the last second to look around her room. As she did, she did one last look at the mirror. She smiled at how pretty her white dress looked on her. She loved how it was all twirlly and stuff. Once she was done admiring herself, she turned off the lights and headed out the door.
8:36 p.m. --
Cameron danced close to Tory as they danced to the song, "Bad Girlfriend" by Theory of a Deadman. He wanted to pull her closer, but he needed a drink. "I'll be right back."
Richard was standing next to Duke and Sa. Jack came over with their punch. "Here you go...here you go...…there's yours Sam..." Jack said as he passed out the drinks.
Richard took his and was about to drink it when six girls entered through the gym doors. Richard nearly dropped his cup as he realized who they were.
Duke, Sam, and Jack also saw them. Duke stared at only one girl. Camery. He knew better, but he wanted her body.
Sam and Jack stared at Rose. They both liked her a bit, but they were popular and Rose wasn't, so they kept their distance from her.
When Richard saw Bella enter with Lexi, and idea like a tornado came through his head. He turned towards Duke and the guys. "Hey, crazy idea that might possibly make Cameron kill me...but...how about we dare him to dance with Bella?"
Duke glanced at Bella. He agreed with Richard that his idea was stupid, but he also knew what the others didn't. Cameron was deeply in love with her--even if he wouldn't admit it to himself. He'd always say that he'd never think of her, but when Cameron and Duke are at each other's house, all Cameron can think or talk about is Bella.
Duke turned his gaze back onto Richard. "Sure."
Richard was half shocked. "Wait, seriously?"
"What's 'sweet'" Cameron asked as he came up to his group. He first noticed Richard, who was smiling ear to ear.
"What do you have in your weird mind?" Cameron started, but was soon interrupted by his girlfriend and her friends.
"Um, like, we have to go back to my place for a while. It won't be long, maybe 20 minutes to and hour. But we'll be, like, back later. Okay?" Tory spoke. Without any of the guys getting a chance to say anything, Tory and them left.
Richard poked Cameron's arm, completely forgetting about his girlfriend probably going to do some lesbian stuff with Tory and them. "Hey, hey, hey..."
"What?" Cameron asked, a bit annoyed.
"I have an idea!" Richard smiled.
Cameron sighed. "Oh no, what is it?"
Richard glanced at Bella. "I dare..." He pointed to everyone in the group. "We all dare you to dance with Bella for 20 minutes."
Cameron stared at them. Mainly Duke, since he didn't say anything to back him up. "What about Tor--"
"She's gone! Who cares, it's just a dance!" Richard nudged him in the side. "So, will you do it?"
Cameron looked around the group.
"I'll even pay you!" Sam pointed out. "Twenty bucks for twenty minutes. Anything over, and you'll get paid more." Sam smiled at his deal.
Cameron sighed and looked at Duke. Duke nodded, showing that he agrees with the plan and won't back down. "Fine...I'll do it..." Cameron turned around and gulped.
He saw her in and instance. Bella was dancing, laughing, and smiling with her friends. She seemed so happy. Cameron smiled. He loved they way her hair was flowing and how her dress was wrapped around her body.
He almost didn't notice that he was walking when he finally tapped her shoulder. His last thoughts were of fear.
Bella turned around. "Oh...h-hey Cameron." Bella blushed, her friends giggling behind her.
"Hey...do..." Cameron started to stutter. Great! You're a super hot, popular, sexy beast, talented guy and you can't even ask her to dance without stuttering! Cameron thought to himself. "Do you want to dance?" He finally got out.
Bella smiled. "S-sure." She looked back at her giggling, smiling friends as she took his hand and went out to the dance floor.
Cameron suddenly felt unsureness run through his body. He started to think about what would happen if Tory came back and saw them dancing. He knew he'd be in big trouble.
As they got to the dance floor, a slow song came on. Cameron quickly looked over at his friends, who were trying really hard to hide their laughter.
Cameron sighed and looked down at Bella. Suddenly, all he felt in the world was him and her.
Cameron and Bella started to dance to the beat. Each step leading them into a world where it was just him and her. It seemed like nothing as they danced along.
Still staying with the beat, they started to move outside, unknowingly. Cameron was so in a daze, that he didn't even notice when he felt a drop fall onto his head.
Then more. And more. Until suddenly he was drenched in water. Even still, he couldn't help but gaze into Bella's eyes.
Bella was amazed. She never thought that she would ever be like this with Cameron. Bella followed Cameron in steps, not even sure if the slow songs where still playing.
And neither did Cameron.
Cameron soon noticed that Bella had goosebumps, so he pulled her close and put his head on top of her head. He closed his eyes and smiled. Never had he ever had a feeling like this with Tory--with anybody!
He took his head off of hers only to kiss her forehead. Bella blushed and looked up at him. Cameron kissed her forehead again. Then, he placed on hand under her chin and lifted it up towards his lips.
He closed his eyes, ready to feel her lips, but suddenly, Bella was out of his arms and an arm was in front of his face.
"Don't you ever kiss my boyfriend you bitch!" Tory punched Bella again.
"What the hell?" Bella said as she blocked punches from Tory.
Cameron tried to say something, but he soon wished he didn't. For it made Bella look at him and gave Tory an opening to punch her again, which sent Bella's head into a pole.
"Bella!" Cameron ran up to her. For a second, she didn't respond, which worried Cameron. "Bella!"
Bella opened her eyes and looked at Cameron. "Hey...some dance, no?"
Cameron was soon glad that it was raining. "Are you okay?" But before Bella could answer, Tory and her girlfriends were all over Cameron, pulling him away from Bella and into the school.
"Bella!!!!!" Cameron yelled as he was pulled away.
Bella sighed as she looked out into the rain. She closed her eyes, remembering what just happened. She felt the rain against her skin.
10:45 p.m. --
The ambulance came and carried her away...

HDPE Picks Up
Demand appears to be picking up for post-consumer HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which is helping drive up the price for this material. However, some sources say they are uncertain whether the increase is based on new demand or if it is the result of consumers looking for alternate suppliers because their previous suppliers have closed as a result of the market downturn and the general state of the economy.
"HDPE is really starting to heat up again," says a recycler based in the Midwest. In the first two weeks of October, he says, the price for a mixed-color bale of HDPE increased from 13.5 cents per pound to as much as 19 cents per pound on the spot market.
"I don't understand this sudden demand," the recycler says, adding that HDPE demand tends to be seasonal and typically declines this time of year.
A reprocessor based in North Carolina points to a shortage of post-consumer HDPE material. "There was plenty of it up until the first of October," he says. "It's really scarce now."
While secondary HDPE is increasing in price, the same does not appear to be true for virgin material, sources say, which is unusual, as demand and pricing for virgin and recycled material have a direct relationship.
A reprocessor and broker based in the Great Lakes region says he expects a surge in scrap generation as the year comes to a close and companies look to move aged inventory.
Consumers of secondary plastics have been more selective in terms of material quality since the market downturn in the fall of 2008, the reprocessor based in North Carolina says. "Buyers are a lot pickier. You have to have a good product and good quality control."
The Great Lakes-based reprocessor says export demand has helped engineering grade resins. "Engineering grade materials are still in high demand due to the near double-digit growth of the Chinese plastics industry this year and is expected to continue through the fourth quarter, mostly driven by 'stimulus' money for [the] automobile industry and housing," he says.
However, some Chinese holidays in October negatively affected overseas demand. "Since the Chinese National Day holiday at the beginning of October, demand for recycled materials is down," the Great Lakes-based recycler says. "Prices for recycled materials have come down along with demand, despite higher prices for virgin materials mostly due to higher oil prices and manufacturing organizations restocking after the Chinese National Holiday."
Recyclers who export material say containers remain in tight supply as a result of the number of vessels and containers taken out of service as well as the number of containers tied up in ports in China and India awaiting inspection.
"All plastic scrap in containers entering into China mainland have to go through an X-ray-type inspection, which has slowed materials into the ports," the Great Lakes-based reprocessor notes. This also led to unexpected detention charges for some companies.
Recyclers shipping material domestically via truck report few problems. "The trucking business as a whole is pretty hungry right now," the North Carolina-based reprocessor says. "We feel like we get all the trucks we want, and the rates are reasonable."
While Chinese demand remains relatively healthy, recyclers express concern that it could slow. "If China shuts down, there is not enough domestic demand to absorb the amount of material being produced," the recycler based in the Midwest says. He says he fears this could push down pricing, particularly if recycling rates increase.
Sources remain optimistic about markets for recovered plastics going into 2010, however, the North Carolina-based reprocessor says the improvement will be gradual. "The things I'm afraid of are ridiculous oil prices and inflation. If they can keep those things in check, I think it will be a good year."
