Gray, Amelia, Gutshot
Default Title - $14.00
Strange, fable-like, and physical, Gray's (Threats) stories are driven by uncanny forces and set in organic yet unnatural worlds. The first story, "In the Moment," sets the tone, in which a man afraid of losing his beloved is soothed by her detached sensory perceptions: "Emily taught him to view each day as a wild element divorced from past and future. He needed not only to exist at a point on a vector but ultimately to destroy the vector and inhabit that solitary point, like living inside a meteor without fear or knowledge of its movement." The recurrence of a phenomenological experience of time flows through the stories, along with a materialist understanding that pushes in on human perception. In "The Year of the Snake," a massive snake bisects a town and disrupts the citizens until eventually the story's protagonist, a scientist, cuts open the snake, "peeling back to reveal that the flesh inside formed a cavern. She saw a lantern swinging gently from the knobby spine ceiling. A man sat at a table, calm as the moon." In "A Contest," the gods hold a contest: the mortal who grieves the most on Earth will be reunited with her departed, and at the story's abrupt end, an old, lonely woman is reunited with her cat—yet another instance of the masterly gathering of forces at the heart of the collection: black humor brushes up against abject tragedy, desperation and abuse, longing loneliness, and even hopeful peace. Gray dazzlingly renders the wide array of human experience in these potent, haunting stories

Not earbuds, but headphones. I always liked the look of headphones around somebody's neck and the noise canceling and higher sound quality can be awesome; but I heard a lot of people actually hate the look of headphones around somebody's neck. I'm going to buy a pair regardless for home, but whether or not I buy a nice looking pair and actually bring them to school will be based off of whether or not people think it looks good.

City Revival, the City College Brighton and Hove in-house hair and beauty salon, has had a full refurbishment, which will provide students with larger, professional standard facilities to learn their trades, bridging the gap between a learning environment and a high street salon.
Hairdressing customers to the salon can now benefit from more hairdressing stations, better lighting, an attractive, modern environment, a wider range of services and new products for sale including Moroccan Oil.
Beauty clients can benefit from a new, fresh spa-like space with new comfortable couches, state of the art equipment and new cubicles for discreet treatments.
Rachel Turner, Head of Hairdressing said
We are delighted to open our new salon and proud of how it will help to train the next generation of beauticians and hairdressers in conditions that mirror professional salons.
I would encourage the public to come in and experience the new salon and the huge range of services and treatments that we offer. Our students are undertaking nationally recognised qualifications and are supervised by highly experienced tutors so youll receive a professional experience in the centre of Brighton, at a fraction of high-street prices.
Georgia Christoforou, Head of Beauty added
We feel very proud to be one of the leading hair and beauty training organisations in the South East and supporting the local industry.
The new salon will make our clients feel extra special when they come in for a pampering. From blow drys and highlights to manicures, facials and massages, they can pop in for a quick visit or the full works. Our talented students work incredibly hard to make sure their clients always want to come back for a second visit!
City College is also encouraging the stars of the future to share their hair and beauty creations via social media in the run up to their annual hair and beauty show at the end of March. Share your photos and videos on Twitter @citycoll with the hashtag #CCBhairshow. The best one will win £100 worth of vouchers to spend at Sallys.

Feedback: difficulty installing http://auto-delete.jotform.io/Asked by NRCsupport on March 10, 2014 at 02:03 PM
difficulty installing http://auto-delete.jotform.io/
I'm using the above webhook to delete submissions automatically. Installing it was not very intuitive. It was not clear what to do to get out of the wizard. I eventually used logout, which seemed to work.
Also the form that I was applying it to, was shown in the wizard as not having any submissions, although it did have some, whichI had to delete from the submissions screen.
It does work correctly though, once installed.
JotForm Support
Thank you for your feedback. I will submit a ticket to our Dev Team.
The App is not designed to remove existing form submissions, and 'There aren't any submissions yet.' actually means that '0 submissions received' during active Auto Submission Deleter App on the form in question.
OK, thanks, that makes sense.

On Friday 6th September and Tuesday 10th September in Houston and London respectively, Dolphin Geophysical, with JV partners TGS, hosted a Roadshow to industry on behalf of the North West Africa Atlantic Margin (NWAAM) to promote the NWAAM 2D survey.
Technical and fiscal presentations were heard from ministerial representatives from Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry, and concluded by Adrian Robinson, formerly Exploration Director of African Petroleum and now Consultant to Dolphin Geophysical. To kick things off, Dario Chisari, Interpretation Geophysicist from TGS, gave an overview of the interpretation report.
The Roadshows were attended by a range of oil and gas companies, with some major players included.
The presentations were underpinned by the recent 2D survey undertaken by Dolphin Geophysical in 2011, covering approximately 30,000km, which is available for purchase now.

Question: The Fast Track Co has thus far only used equity to
The Fast-Track Co. has thus far only used equity to finance its operations and currently has 1,000,000 shares outstanding with an EBIT of $1,500,000.

This is a very UNCONVENTIONAL collection of seduction products which ive had for a while.
Hypnovision subliminal seduction tapes
I have no idea if anyone has heard of Hypnovision by artie schiff but they have a HUGE section on subliminal seduction. the whole site is MAD with information and tapes. do a search on the net for their site.
the way they work: they sell conventional audio tapes which are encoded with NLP subliminal messages, geared towards whichever goal you want. e.g. to exude an aura of sexuality, to attract women remotely, to seduce them easily, to easily approach the opposite sex etc etc. You listen to them for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times per week, and all the changes you want are supposed to take place. You obviously cant hear the messages cos its subliminal.
i have these tapes in their catalogue: the names are HV 13, HV 14, HV 15P, HV 16.
Positive Effects i've had whilst listening to the tapes:
1. shitloads of more AI's and smiles from women. both during the day and night
2. more direct approaches initiated by women in clubs/bars
3. more sexual contact e.g breast thrusting, nipping my ass, seductive talk
Negative Effects:
1. can sometimes give you an airy head. you dont have that same sense of mental control over what you do and say when you sarge. Obviously that may simply be due to my mind not being conditioned enough to minimize this side effect.
2. ive maybe not listened to these tapes long enough to have a permanent effect. in other words, theres been no permanent effect
3. the tapes dont really live up to their MASSIVE claims. HV 16 states that you can sexually control other people everywhere (SCOPE) remotely, just with the power of your mind. But the tapes do have some effect.
has anyone heard of or used any of these tapes? ive started to use their HV 16 tape again to field test its effects properly, before i decide whether to keep using it or not.

you guys crank me up.
they're a complete ripoff in terms of price. about $80 for one tape. but you can get less powerful ones e.g normal subliminal tapes for $25 i think.

I'm So Frusterated! Ahg. Wondermold..
Decorating By Sweetlepea Updated 14 Mar 2009 , 1:00am by mbelgard
Well, it actually stems from yesterday.. Its just a build up up stff! Today is my daughters 3rd birthday. We're having some people over today for it.. So yesterday, I get my carpet cleaner (not cheap, mind you) and come to find that one of the handles of the tanks is missing.. which also doubles as the lock to hold it in place!! So its like a 75 pound paper weight!!!! UGH I was so mad.. So then, today.. I go for my wondermold box, get everything out.. and the screw that holds the pans together isnt in the box!!!! WTH! I've never even used it before!AND I bought it lik, 6 months ago from thw Wilton website. I'm just so frusterated, I dont know what to do.. Shes been so excited for that cake! Is there something else I can put in the bottom, even just to cover the hole? Or should I just put it as a loss, and try to carve a skirt out of 4 an 6 inchers? please help
I wish I could help. Maybe a bump will get someone else to help you
Since you are in a hurry you can see if you have a nut from a bolt and nut set. It might fit the threads of the rod.
If you can't find a bolt I used to use and angel food pan and carve it before I had the proper pan.
Since you are in a hurry you can see if you have a nut from a bolt and nut set. It might fit the threads of the rod.
Thank you Lee15! I went to my husbands toolbox and found one that fits.. Kind of.. The rod fits about halfway on, not tightly.. the bolt though, does completely cover the hole. So we'll see! Its in the oven now **crosses fingers**
I found the same thing at Michael's. I'll tell ya, now I open the boxes and check and make sure all the pieces are included.
If that doesn't work, maybe take it to Home Depot or Lowe's and have someone find you a nut/bolt that would fit.
I baked with the Wonder mold today for the first time. I'm making a volcamo cake for tomorrow.
Goog Luck!
This won't help for today but try calling Wilton and see what they will do. They might be willing to send you replacement parts.
When I've had a problem with products they've been pretty helpful, the most recent was my son insisted on getting the plastic letters and numbers cutters at Hobby Lobby and it was missing the "E." They sent me a replacement letter within the week. I didn't have to send receipts or anything.

"Treatment and care at PRH,Telford"
About: Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS) Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS) TF7 4BF The Princess Royal Hospital / General surgery The Princess Royal Hospital General surgery TF1 6TF
Posted by Bear818 (as ),
Was advised an appointment at my preferred hospital would take 12-16 weeks and was offered an earlier appointment at a hospital 30 miles away. When preferred hospital appointment came through it was 3 weeks earlier than the out of area hospital offered. Treatment and care at PRH, Telford was good although still awaiting biopsy results one month later.
Response from Helen Handy, TRAQS & CAB Co-Ordinator, Telford and Wrekin CCG 2 years ago
Dear Bear818

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hello, I'm sorry to hear that your pup was naughty.How long has it been since he ate the Benadryl?Do you have 3% hydrogen peroxide?
I have already given peroxide and I think she has thrown it up because she threw up food she ate prior
what signs should I look for?
I gave her the peroxide within 5 minutes...
While Benadryl is a fairly safe drug the normal dose for him would be 2mg, 4mg at the most.Great! Glad to hear it!
It was at 5:30 that she ate it
what signs should I look for prior to rushing her to emergency vet
OK, signs of a over dose can be sleepiness but in severe overdoses it can cause central nervous sytem excitement and lead to trembling, and full blown seizures.
should I feed her now? Would that help or harm
In some pups this can progress to coma and death.This is unlikely as you got it out of her system very quickly.
I would encourage feeding after about 20 to 30 mins after the last vomiting episode as long as she is bright and alert.
You might want to use a bland diet of 50% boiled hamburger (or chicken) and 50% boiled white rice.
will she show any signs prior to worse case?
And if you can give activated charcoal this will block further absorption of the drug. At her size 2 grams in a slurry mixed with food would be perfect. repeat in 6 hours.
what is activated charcoal?
Yes she will show either progressive extreme sleepiness or hyperactivity. If she shows these get her to a veterinarian.Activated charcoal you can purchase at a pharmacy over the counter. It is refined charcoal and is used to block drug absorption.
The good news is that this drug doesn't stay around long. It's generally gone in 24 hours and often faster than that.
So if she's normal the rest of today you are likely OK with her.Great job getting her to vomit so quickly.
She probably owes you her life.
She just threw up the majority of it...
Thank you for your help... I think she will be ok now...
We actually seen most of the pill on that one!!!
I do too, thanks to your quick action.Perfect, I love it when you can see the pill, that likely means very little was absorbed.Given that she's still vomiting you might want to wait an hour or two to feed her. Let her stomach rest.
Can I answer anything else?
Thank you so much... Hopefully we did get it all and she will be ok..
Will this program send me a transcript?
No but once/if you accept this it will all be stored under the "my questions" section of your account so you can access it at any time.
If you are having any trouble contact customer service.Or alternatively you can copy this to a word or other document program on your computer.
I copied it already... Have a great day!! Really appreciate your help! Hopefully I won't have to contact you again!
I hope so too, but I'll be here if you need me. Take care.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX

NO ONE could have predicted what happened when a basketball-loving high school kid with a developmental disorder was finally given his moment on court.
Mitchell Marcus served faithfully as team manager of his Texas school basketball for an entire season, but was told to suit up in the final game of the season.
He was put on court in the dying minutes, living out a dream but failing to score a basket despite his team's attempts to give him the ball.
Watch the video above to see the incredible act of sportsmanship that followed.
The incident evoked memories of a game involving a severely autistic student that made headlines back in 2006 and ended up becoming a viral video.
The story of Jason McElwain and his incredible debut for his high school team has nearly three million views on YouTube.

While the Montana campaign finance law is in a holding pattern from the Supreme Court, one case definitely granted that will be heard next term is an affirmative action case coming out of Texas. Titled Fisher vs. University of Texas at Austin, the case revolves around an admissions policy for Texas residents into the state's university system. In effect, the case represents an opportunity for the Court to re-examine a string of cases dating back to the Bakke decision and, more specifically, the more recent Grutter decision arising out of Michigan's law school admission policy.
After the Grutter decision was announced, the University of Texas undertook a study to determine if existing policies were having the desired effect of increasing minority enrollment in their undergraduate programs. The resulting policy changes stated that in light of the Grutter decision they would adopt a policy that would take race into account. Prior to this policy change, they used an automatic enrollment system where they simply, regardless of race or ethnicity, accepted the any Texas resident applicant who was in the top 10% of their high school graduating class. This policy filled 80% of the slots undergraduate slots available. For those not accepted under the Top Ten Percent Law, the University, in an effort to increase minority admissions, decided they would take race into account in order to boost minority enrollment.
Abigail Fisher failed to qualify for admission under the Top Ten Percent Law and thus fell into that remaining 20% of the undergraduate class. Unfortunately for her, because race was a deciding factor in the reformulated criteria after Grutter, she was denied admission despite having better academic performance and test scores than minorities granted admission outside and even within the Top Ten Percent Law admissions. In short, she contends that because of the color of her skin (white) she was summarily disadvantaged in the process. Put any other way, it was a case of reverse discrimination advanced through a state affirmative action program.
She lost her case in the Fifth Circuit. That court stated that in light of the Grutter decision, they would defer to the university expertise because they decided in good faith that their programs needed to increase racial diversity. When the full Fifth Circuit declined to hear her appeal, she appealed to the US Supreme Court and they have accepted the case. She claims that the lower courts claimed to be applying strict scrutiny to the university's policy, but that they really simply deferred to the university's reasoning and decision. For their part, after much foot dragging, argued that the Court should reject the appeal as moot since by the time the Court would hear the case, Fisher would have graduated from LSU and could not be admitted as an undergraduate at the university. Furthermore, they argued that by returning $100 in fees to Fisher, her standing was further impugned and the case rendered moot. The Court decided to hear the case regardless which indicates that they wish to tackle affirmative action now.
This case represents one of the major problems with affirmative action programs. Before the University changed its policy and took race into account for those who did not qualify under the Top Ten Percent Law- in 2004- the University of Texas had one of the most racially and ethnically diverse undergraduate student bodies in the country. Because Grutter seemed to allow a grant of changing policies in this area did not seem to indicate that the university should actually change its policies. In fact, Fisher's argument is that even though the Court said that race can be considered as one among many factors, Texas went too far. The original law was achieving the desired effect of increasing minority enrollment in the system. The new policy sought to increase minority enrollment in major fields of study, and at the classroom level. This, Fisher argues, is de facto establishment of quotas which are specifically disallowed under previous Supreme Court rulings. Essentially, Fisher's lawyers now argue that Grutter be overruled.
That decision was authored by the now departed Sandra Day O'Connor who was replaced by Alito who will likely side with John Roberts who is against affirmative action. They would likely side with Kennedy, Scalia and Thomas who were in the dissent in the Grutter decision. Since Kagan recused herself from the case (as Solicitor General, her office filed a mandatory brief in the Fifth Circuit), it appears as if Grutter is primed to be overruled 5-3. A 4-4 decision would leave the lower court ruling intact and Fisher a loser.
This case represents the best opportunity to address affirmative action in general. As many have pointed out, by its very nature affirmative action is racist in that it cannot be race neutral. The original Top Ten Percent Law was having its intended effects by increasing minority enrollment in the state. Importantly, this case underscores the need for educational reforms that benefit all students. The Top Ten Percent Law may increase minority enrollment, but does it really get the best and brightest Texas has to offer into higher education? Does it insure the chances of academic success in college for minorities? Does it steer anyone, let alone minorities, into much needed major fields of study? In short, as Justice Thomas notes, the most race neutral solution would be not to consider race at all.
So how does one overcome the vestiges of racial discrimination in hiring and school admission? We start to overcome these barriers through true educational reforms designed to lift the performance and standards of all students. Often, that does not translate into throwing more money at failing, predominantly minority schools. Instead, it means providing minorities opportunity through choice of schools to attend. It means rearranging available resources like moving qualified teachers to low performing minority schools through merit pay and/or pay differential systems. It means allowing programs like DC's voucher program to prevail and expand , rather than killing it in its infancy.
I don't believe that ANY conservative truly believes that qualified minority members should be excluded from employment, advancement, or college admission. However, the key word in that statement is "qualified." When we begin to allow unqualified individuals employment, advancement, or admission to higher education, we weaken not only our social fabric but also our future all in the name of racial diversity. I think all sides can agree that racial diversity has its advantages and should be encouraged, or even that there is a history of racial discrimination. However, I think only conservatives agree that racial diversity in and of itself should not be the only or predominant goal in any program, and I believe it is only liberals who see a racial animus in any statement against affirmative action. It is the liberal who is being racist by seeing the racial bogeyman behind every tree and showing a preference for one race over another rather than bona fide qualifications being the deciding factor.
In the Texas case, they were clearly achieving their overall goal of increasing minority enrollment in their university system. This applied not only to blacks, but also Hispanics and Asian-Americans. Unfortunately, the program apparently created an over supply of African Studies majors or whatever that they now feel the need to micromanage and socially engineer outcomes. Hopefully, sometime next year, the Court will strike down the Texas policy as racist against more qualified applicants despite their skin color, ethnicity, or gender. Hopefully, they will not further sully academic achievement in higher education for the sake of racial diversity alone. The fact is that some blacks, Hispanics, Asians, or whites may not have the academic rigor to succeed in college. Yes- a lot goes into that determination like test scores, high school performance, extracurricular activity, sports participation, volunteer service, difficulty of courses, etc. However, race should never figure into the equation under any circumstance.

vintage inspired hair styles can look very chic and be pulled off with out looking themed. victory rolls are a type of hair style from the 1940's that women adopted to celebrate the end of world war 2, hence the term 'victory'. there are many different variations of this hair style but basically it's when the front section of your hair rolled on top of your hair. though most of the images found are with straight hair the style actually looks great on textured hair, and is a great protective style.
this is a basic how to on victory rolls, you just need to change a few things for natural hair like no need to back comb or use hairspray. you can put a beanie on the back or pin the hair under.
this look works well on roller sets too!

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I need to know how to set boundaries with my family. I was adopted when I was 5 and molested by their biological son --who is 9 years my senior, until I was 18 (off and on through out the years). I have asked my parents not to invite me to his house for things...and not to always talk about him around me (they know because I told them when I was 18). They don't get it..they think I need to forgive him and move on...and they think he only hurt me...I don't know for sure, but I think he has hurt other girls in the same way. What do I do? Am I wrong? Are they right? I have forgiven him, I just don't trust or like him and don't want him around my family. I know eventually (and soon) I need to make an appointment with a therapist for regular visits as I have many other issues to work out.
Thank you for the book recommendations...I will definitely check them out.

Know about tie-breaker
If two or more franchises bid $750,000 for a player, each of the franchises then submits a sealed bid with no upper limit. The difference between the $750,000 and the sealed bid goes to the IPL, while the player only stands to make $750,000.
Keiron Pollard is the second name in Round 1 a base price of USD 200,000.

"Perfect villa for our family vacation"
We came to Topsail for a beach wedding which was actually held in front of one of the villas. We had several friends staying in the others as well. This was definitely the best that we saw. The kitchen was amazing- fully equipped (except for sharp knives). The wine fridge and ice maker were a big bonus. The morning after the wedding, we threw a brunch for the wedding guests. I only wish I had known how well equipped the kitchen was before I hauled half of my kitchen halfway across the country. :) The bedrooms were good sized with very comfortable beds. The master suite did not have a whirlpool tub but the room was fabulous. The bathroom itself was nice. Between the beach, the hot tub on the deck and the community pool, everyone had plenty of time in the water. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the renter's closet. It was full of sand toys and chairs. There was also a high chair and a pack n'play in the house but thankfully, our grandkids didn't need them. I worried that, because it is a duplex, we would hear our neighbors. It turned out that they were also wedding guests and stayed up late every night. Never heard a peep! I loved that each level had its own deck with incredible views of the pier. This house was simply perfect for our family of 10.
"family vacation"
The home was spacious, the kitchen well stocked. We were surprised to find not even a sliver of soap or scrap of toilet tissue in any bathroom when we used the facilities after a long drive. The house was generally clean. The downstairs bedroom comforter was filthy, with what appeared to be blood stains. The furniture was saggy and dirty. My 1 year old grandson put his hand in the chair cushion and pulled out something black that we hope was old chocolate. It went in the garbage so fast we did not examine it. The king sheets we rented were not for the deep mattress that was on our bed, so several times a night we had to reapply the fitted sheet. The rule that clean dishes must be unloaded from the dishwasher on the day of departure must have been why the dishes in the cabinet were caked with food, the previous renters did not want the charge so they simply put the dirties in the cabinet. As for the "service", I am not sure what they mean. We rented a house, picked up the keys, made the beds with the rented linens, placed the few rolls of toilet tissue and one roll of cheap paper towels in place, then washed the dishes the day we left and took out the trash. Then we dropped off the keys. There was no "service" We loved the weather, the beach and visiting with our family.
Response from the manager Dear Mom, Thanks for your review of this lovely home. I am pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed the weather, the beach, and visiting with your family. I am so sorry for the inconveniences you experienced. Unfortunately, we do not provide toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc. However, starter rolls of toilet paper and paper towels are provided in the linen package that you rent, so I'm not sure why you didn't receive those. Please don't hesitate to contact the linen company (their number is on the front of the check in packet) if you do not receive these items or if the sheets you receive are ill--fitting, etc. Their staff is usually very accommodating. :-) I sincerely apologize that some things in the home were not cleaned to your standards upon your arrival. Had you informed us about these things, we would have been glad to take care of them for you immediately. We do ask that before check-out our guests take out their own trash and wash, dry, and put away their own dishes; however, our cleaning crews do take care of everything else. (Apparently they missed a couple of things prior to your stay. I am so sorry about that. Again, had you notified us, we would have rectified that immediately.) We sincerely appreciate your feedback. I am happy to report that the owners have considered your review and replaced the furniture you mentioned subsequent to your stay. At Treasure Realty, our goal is to make your stay as pleasant as possible, but our services are a bit different because we rent homes or condos and not hotel rooms. We do provide a great deal of services to over 7,000 families of renters each year. Primarily, we assist potential renters in finding the right vacation home/condo by providing up-to-date pictures of and information about the property and its location. We offer maps and directions. We take care of all of the paperwork, pool and parking passes, and the payment process. We also provide cleaning and maintenance as well as after-hours emergency on-call. We are often called upon to provide concierge services as well—we help people rent linens, grills, and other beach necessities, and we recommend local restaurants, activities, and services. With that in mind, please don't hesitate to contact us if we can assist you further: 800-762-3961. We appreciate your patience and your patronage, and it is our pleasure serving you. Sincerely, Amy
"Wonderful family week at the beach with comfortable accomodation"
Space and ammenities were great! Loved having 3 king beds, but 2 of the king mattresses were not very comfortable, but the other was very good. Did have a small problem with roaches. Not a full infestation indoors, only saw a few, but there were quite a few outside in the parking area.
Response from the manager Hi Dudley, Thanks for your candid review of this lovely home. I am pleased to hear that you all had a wonderful week with your family here! I am sorry to hear that you saw some palmetto bugs during your stay. The houses do receive preventive treatments to keep pests out, so your experience is rare. However, had you notified us about this, we would have been happy to send an exterminator out to take care of that for you. I will share your feedback about the mattresses with the very conscientious owners, and see what we can do. I know they have already replaced some of the furniture in the house since your stay. Thanks for your patience and your patronage. Please let us know how we can assist you in planning your next family vacation on Topsail: 800-762-3961. Sincerely, Amy
Everyone at Treasure Reality was always pleasant,informed and patient with numerous requests with a first time renter.*60 Villas Dr. was clean ,bright and chock full of amenities..enough pots pans etc,the ice maker was great!!!.The furnishings were lovely and so comfortable...The access to the beach couldn't be better...It was everything we hoped for and more..In the words of 4yr.old Caleigh,"This is the best vacation ever.!"Thanks to the owners and Treasure Reality.
Response from the manager Hi Kathleen, Thanks so much for your very kind review of this lovely home and for your positive remarks about our service at Treasure Realty. We are so pleased to hear that this home exceeded your expectations and that this was one of your best vacations. It is our pleasure serving you, so let us know when you all are ready to plan your next vacation on Topsail: 800-762-3961. Cheers, Amy
"Wonderful Home away from Home!"
Wow, this 5 bedroom 3 story condo is absolutely amazing. This was the first time we stayed in this condo and will stay again in the future. The rental was very clean and had all of the amenities that you could ask for. We loved having a ice maker and wine cooler while being on vacation. Right on the beach and with having a pool to use as well, it had the best of both worlds. Overall such a great place for our family to stay:)
"A great place to unwind! Loved the decks overlooking the ocean."
Located at the northern end of Topsail Island, the beach is quiet and uncrowded. The elevator entrance made it possible for a handicapped member of our family to maneuver. The location of the bedrooms allowed for comfortable privacy for three family units.
"Great oceanfront duplex"
Everything about renting this house was great! The service via email and phone was very friendly and prompt. The house was great...right on the beach, beautifully decorated, with gorgeous views of the beach! We really loved our stay.
"Great Place!"
Our family had a wonderful time and the Villa was very nice. We really enjoyed the deck on the main floor and spent most of the time there or on the beach. Hot tub did not work and they sent someone out to fix it right away. Needed parts so it wasn't ready till the day before we left. They refunded our payment for the activation, no problem. Kids also spent a lot of time at the community pool. Went to the Turtle Hospital. The kids enjoyed this. Will be much nicer when they move to new location. We also took a trip to Wilmington and toured the Battleship North Carolina.(another kid favorite) Our favorite restaurant was Daddy Mac's Beach Grille in Surf City. Good food and great location. Would definitely stay at Topsail Island and rent thru Treasure Realty again. Beautiful weather, friendly people and a great relaxing vacation.
Response from the manager Dear Missvic, Thanks for such a nice review. I am so pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying some of the local fare and nearby attractions. It sounds like you made the most of it! I do apologize that we weren't able to get the hot tub repaired as quickly as we would have liked. Thanks for your patience and understanding there. It is our pleasure serving you, so please let us know how we can assist you in planning your next visit to Topsail: 800-762-3961. Cheers, Amy

Entry 5 -- Public Relations Comes Knocking
I get the groceries home, put them away, and decide that since the shop seems quiet, I'll cut up the vegetables for tonight's chowder and leave them in a covered bowl. It will mean less work later in the day when I need to take my cooking break.
I get done with the carrots and the anise bulb. The feathers are for salad. I am busy with the onion, when I hear someone knocking at the door. Well, it has taken three years for salespeople to find our apartment which is up a flight of wooden stairs on the side of R & O Pring and All Color Sign.
I check to see who it is through the panes of curtained glass. It is Ms. Goldfarb, Josh' mother. I wonder if Orel sent her. My hands stink of onion. What could she want with me? Ms. Goldfarb is a plump woman with golden brown hair that frames a happy pink face in little waves. She has hazel eyes hidden behind thick glasses. She wears well fitting expensive clothes. Today her outfit is brown knit pants and a white turtleneck sweater. She carries an expensive leather bag that I fear she may soil even though our chairs are clean. I suggest a chair for her bag since the kitchen table is in a state of chaos.
"Can I make you some tea or coffee?" I begin.
She shrugs. I put on water and go back to my onion. I think I am busier than she is.
She begins: "Your husband said you were upstairs and that I should talk to you."
"Is there some kind of problem?" I ask.
"No, I just wanted to let you know that the boys are invited to Saturday night's meeting. I'm trying to get the word out to all the parents."
"You're doing all that in person."
"I used to work in public relations. I want to get to know all the parents who share our interests."
Well, that does make sense.
"Is this kind of like the Harvard club?" I ask.
"More like a prospective Ivy League, Seven Sisters, and MIT Association," answers Ruth Goldfarb.
"That name is too long," I reply.
"You're right," sighs Ms. Goldfarb. "So how do you like it here in Greenup?"
"Business is good," I answer.
"Yes, but personally and for the boys...the schools."
"I've had to twist arms a few times with Stasch' IEP. He is smart enough for regular classes and nearly normal on medication."
I see Ms. Goldfarb wince. "Stasch has ADHD," I remind her. "They gave him early intervention which helped a lot. He was a bit behind because he was so busy bouncing he didn't learn what most other kids just pick up. He learned some things though." I smile.
"What about your older son?"
"Oisin, would like to take as much French as the school will give him," I say. It's the right thing to say. It is also true. "He'll probably also take calculus. He's the first person I've ever met who likes to study but that must be where they get valedictorians from."
"You support him don't you?" asks Ms. Goldfarb.
"There's not much for me to support."
Ms. Goldfarb makes a little unhappy sound.
"I mean, I wasn't that kind of a student and neither was my husband, but if Oisin wants to be, well, he's a good example to his brother and we both make sure he has a quiet place to study and all the rest. He doesn't need to be all over the computer since most of his work is with books and magazines. I think my boyfriend would be happier if Oisin was interested in a mechanical career, but he's too good a student for that. He might stick out all four years of college and really learn something so I have no problem with him studying and taking all the courses he can."
"So you want the French teacher and think there should be separate teachers for physics and chemistry..." Ms. Goldfarb felt like a fish out of water.
"Of course I do," I replied. "The way things are going with the boys, Stasch may need those things too by the time he's in high school. Business is good here and we'll probably be here all the time the boys are growing up. They're not going back to their mother in Duluth. She has two more kids now and will probably end up with a third. That's more than she can handle."
Ruth Goldfarb looked down.
"Look Ms. Goldfarb," I begin.
"Call me Ruth."
"OK Ruth. I see it like this. All the class stuff is bullshit. Oisin is smart the way some kids are athletic. If you have a kid who's a star gymnast you know he needs a coach. Oisin needs teachers. I want to have a kid who's a star. I want Oisin to succeed every bit as much as you want Josh to make it and that for these kids is going to mean a shot at some very fancy schools. It feels weird to me. It wasn't my thing. It's not my boyfriend's but it's Oisin's and I've made peace with that."
"Great," sighed Ruth. The conversation then drifts to extracurriculars, meetings of clubs after school. She talks about how kids need to join clubs to appear well rounded for fancy universities which apparently look at more than grades and SAT scores.
I remind Ruth that around here kids take the ACT's. "Not for Harvard they don't," answers Ruth Goldfarb.
"That doesn't happen until the kids are seniors doesn't it?" I ask.
"The first round is junior year," she replies.
"Well that's still two years away."
Apparently, I've got a whole lot to learn. I ask Ruth Goldfarb to suggest some good books on this fancy college business. I realize now that I've never known any body who tried to get in to Harvard or MIT before and thatit might effect Oisin as a freshman, something I never thought about before.
Ruth says she doesn't know any books but suggests I try the library. I make a mental note to do that the next time I can get a break from work. Meanwhile, I wash my hands and head over to the computer. I figure Ruth and I both cook.
"Would you like my recipe for fish chowder. I don't know if you make that."
"We eat fish," answered Ruth.
"Do you like pollock?" I ask.
"We eat it," she shrugs. Good, we are on the same wave length. I print her off the recipe, plus a few others. She folds them and sticks them in her purse.
She says she has other parents to see. I ask her what to do if mothers work. She says she goes out at night. Her family, like mine eats dinner late.
I watch Ruth head down the stairs. Then I go back to cutting up the garlic and the chile pepper. I wash my hands and the plates and knives. I pour Ruth's unfinished tea down the sink. I hope she and her husband will actually eat my cake Saturday night.

The Culture of Turkey
By: Brett and Ashleigh
Culture and Etiquette
In Turkey a slight nod down means yes and a slight nod up with a (tsk) sound created by sucking air through your teeth. In Turkey you never want to point the sole of your foot at someone. Putting your thumb between your first 2 fingers is the equivalent of the middle finger in the US. Turks have very little personal space so they get closer than we're used to. The "OK" sign means homosexual. Never put your hands on your hips when talking to anyone, especially elders. Shake hands with every person you meet upon arrival and departure. Punctuality is a must: if you are invited somewhere and it says 7:00 pm, you arrive at 7:00 pm. Always bring the hostess a modest gift, say, flowers or candies. The "Dutch Treat" does not exist in turkey.
Wedding and Funeral Traditions
Marriage and funerals are very religious occasions. It is expected for people to get married and raise children in Turkey. Traditional weddings last 3 days, while more modern couples may follow European wedding customs. Traditional weddings are more rare because of the high cost. At a traditional wedding, there are 3 days where a different event takes place each day:
First Night: This day is the Kina Gecesi, or henna evening. The bride's hands and fingers are decorated with henna and they dance and sing.
Second Night: Both parents serve lunch and dinner to their wedding guests.
Third Night: The bride is taken to the groom's house by horse after folk dances are performed.
Typical funeral traditions include the washing and shrouding of the corpse and praying at the time of the funeral. They typically take people out of coffins after the funeral service to bury them with their right hand facing the direction of Mecca. After burial they cut signs on tombstones with the person's identity, sex, and destiny.
Ramazan Bayrami
- This three day long holiday is a festival where they eat sweets to celebrate the end of Ramadan month. Ramadan is when they fast and can't eat from sunrise to sunset. It is customary to offer candies to friends and family visiting during this festival. The holiday occurs according to the Islamic calendar, and this year it will be the 17-19 of July. They visit all of their friends and relatives and those who cannot meet them in person call or send cards, and children get new clothes and receive candy from relatives and friends.
Traditional Foods and Meal Customs
The people of Turkey value food and have a strong passion for cuisine. Their food is considered to be the richest in the world. They use mealtimes as a way to socialize with people and meals last a long time. They typically have two major meals during the day. Breakfast is very heavy and so is their evening meal which consists of several courses.
Breakfast typically consists of cheese, butter, olives, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, jam, honey, and a creamy dairy product called kaymak.
Their evening meal is very large and composed of several courses. The main course is usually meat or fish based and served with bread and a salad. Tea or Turkish coffee is served at the end of the meal.
Traditional foods include pilaf (a rice dish cooked in a seasoned broth), Borek (thinly rolled pastry filled with savory fillings or layered and can be fried, baked, cooked on a griddle or boiled), and Kofte (finely minced meat with spices, onions, and other ingredients and can be grilled, fried, boiled, or baked and comes in many varieties).

Yes. Clinical studies have shown that whitening your teeth with carbamide or hydrogen peroxide under the supervision of a dental professional is safe for teeth and gums.
rezultati izbjeljivanja tretmanom Zoom?
Tretmani izbjeljivanja pomažu u smanjenju postojećih mrlja, ali konzumiranjem kave i sokova te prirodnim starenjem zubi će s vremenom ponovo izgubiti svoju bjelinu. Proizvodi za izbjeljivanje Philips Zoom NiteWhite i DayWhite sadrže sredstvo ACP za koje je dokazano da pomaže u smanjivanju gubitka bjeline zubi.
To ensure your smile stays bright and white between treatments, try the Zoom Whitening Pen. With just two applications per day, this unique formula can help you maintain your white smile.
The most common side effect is tooth and gum sensitivity.& Your dentist is your best resource to ensure that you are a good candidate for whitening and that you are using the right concentration of whitening formula. Philips Zoom at-home whitening products have two mild desensitising agents to minimise tooth sensitivity.
With Philips Zoom, your teeth will be visibly whiter in one day. With Zoom in-office, you can achieve up to eight shades whiter in 45 minutes. With Zoom at-home you can achieve the same great results in one-two weeks, depending on the concentration and selected wear time.
Everyone responds differently to whitening, and sensitivity is sometimes a side effect of whitening treatments. Ask your dental professional about using a sensitivity toothpaste like Fluoridex before and after your treatments. You can also use a mild desensitiser like Relief ACP to further minimise sensitivity.
Get access to warranties, exclusive offers, savings and product news.

Manchu Vishnu and Ram Gopal Varma have teamed up again after Rowdy. Their new film is titled Anukshanam which focuses on the safety of girls in Hyderabad. Trailer of this film was released this morning and it took everyone by surprise. Ramu chose to deal with a burning issue with a commercial hero in the lead.
Ramu never revealed anything about this film until the trailer released. People expected it to be another action film from RGV when they learnt about Vishnu playing the role of a cop. Anukshanam is about a psycho killer who is also a cab driver. He kills twenty seven girls in eighteen days sending shivers down the spines of Hyderabad citizens.
Vishnu has to solve this mystery and nap that psycho before more girls get killed. RGV, who is a master of grabbing the attention with diverse topics has impressed with Anukshanam trailer. Anyone could relate to this film as incidents like these have become very common in many towns and cities. Navadeep, Tejaswi, Revathi and Brahmanandam are part of the star cast of Anukshanam. Let's see if Anukshanam could do wonders at the box office for RGV and Vishnu.
