The Magpies' manager believes the beleaguered young Portuguese tactician will succeed at Stamford Bridge, but accepts there is no better time to meet the west Londoners
The Blues are on a poor run of form, having only one two in their last nine fixtures in all competitions, most recently crashing out of the League Cup to Liverpool on Tuesday.
But Pardew insists that the former Porto boss is the right man for the job, reminding fans that the side have endured tough times before and managed to recover.
"Chelsea are a side filled with icons of the Premier League, fantastic players, and they will come here and put their reputations on the line," he said.
"They are having a tough spell, but they have had them before and have been through these periods.
"The new manager is trying to make changes and that is always difficult in an established group, like they are.
"I think they will get it right and I think he will get it right, but I hope that doesn't happen against us because we want to win the game."
However, the former West Ham manager did concede that, while his side are the underdogs, it is an ideal time to be playing Chelsea.
"It will still be a very difficult game for us and we certainly aren't favourites," he continued.
"The results they are having at this moment, sure, it is probably a good time to play Chelsea.
"But if I know the players they have there, they will be trying to prove everybody wrong, and that is what they've done for the last eight or ten years.
"They have been one of the most successful teams in Europe and we have to face that.
"But we do feel that we've got a chance in this game because our form is very, very strong and that is what we focus on - ourselves."
Newcastle currently occupy fourth in the Premier League table, a point ahead of the Blues who lie in fifth, and have only been beaten once this season.

Here's one more that was on Andy Beliveau's table at the Philadelphia Pen Show. I was so glad that I finally found sufficient time to pull up a chair, with loupe and camera in hand, and really study the things that he had there. You really do have to study hard to get all of the nuances that I knew would be there.
Take this one for example:
What's really striking is the checkerboard-type pattern of what is probably 9-karat gold and mother of pearl:
I promised Andy that when I got the chance, I'd look up the patent that's stamped on the upper portion for him:
It was a little tricky to find, because it wasn't the mechanics that were being patented, but the appearance of the pencil. Here's design patent number number 6,229, which was issued to Ephraim S. Johnson, of Jersey City, New Jersey on October 29, 1872:
Although our pencil has three rows of alternating gold and mother of pearl rather than two, Johnson's patent was for the checkerboard concept itself:
And a pleasing contrast it is!

Those who simply cannot resist pulling into that drive-through or that slice of cake after an evening meal may have their DNA to blame for craving fast food and for having a high calorie diet.
Those previously simply considered to have low self-control now have scientific evidence that it is not their fault that they cannot resist a tasty treat as it is hardwired within their genes according to new research.
Study leader Dr Tony Goldstone, from the Imperial College London and colleagues have identified two genetic variants that influence whether we opt for high-calorie or low-calorie foods – a finding they say could result in more personalised treatment for obesity.
Diets high in fat and sugar are a major cause of obesity, when a person consumes more calories than they burn, this can lead to weight gain. The best strategy for weight loss is usually a balanced diet coupled with physical activity, but for some this is easier said than done.
For their study Dr Goldstone and colleagues set out to determine whether a person's food choice may be influenced by certain genetic variants.
For the study the team conducted DNA genotyping on 45 white European adults aged 19-55 in an effort to identify the presence of variants near two genes which have been associated with obesity predisposition and food cravings.
The volunteers were asked to look at photographs of high and low calorie foods and then rate how appealing they were, while researchers used a functional magnetic resonance imaging to analyse their brain activity.
Results revealed that volunteer who possessed a variant near the FTO gene, which is associated with obesity disposition, rated the high calorie foods as more appealing showed greater activity in an area of the brain known as the orbitofrontal cortex.
This is one of the most interesting parts of the brain when it comes to food as it is where the rewards value of taste is represented, by releasing dopamine for certain tastes, making it feel good to eat certain foods and giving them that 'moreish' quality.
The findings are particularly important because they suggest a true genetic influence behind obesity in some individuals.
Dr Goldstone explained: "It means they may experience more cravings than the average person when presented with high-calorie foods – that is, those high in fat and/or sugar – leading them to eat more of these foods."
These finding may mean there is more potential for individualised obesity treatments, one of which they suggest could involve using gut hormones that target dopamine cells in the brain to alter the hormone's influence on cravings for high-calorie foods.
Commenting on the study Leah Wingham of The Obesity Society said: "These findings help us better understand the biological basis of behaviours that may predispose some people to overeating high-calorie foods, hence obesity.
"It could help us better target treatments for obesity so particular people get the most effective treatment, as individualised approaches to obesity are necessary."

How the China-US relationship evolved, and why it still matters
It might be complicated, but experts say it's too important to ignore or damage
Related topics
Diplomatic observers struggle to reach a consensus definition of the complicated Sino-US relationship, but all agree it's too important to be ignored or damaged by miscalculation or mismanagement.
It also stands out as arguably the most important bilateral relationship to be managed by the next US president, irrespective of whether Democrat Hillary Clinton or Republican Donald Trump wins Tuesday's election.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the relationship between the world's leading capitalist democracy and its most populous communist state has evolved from stand-off to conflict and then on to today's complex mix of intense diplomacy and escalating rivalry between two increasingly intertwined economies.
Observers also agree that no country has played a greater role than the United States in shaping and influencing modern China's historical development, regardless of whether that influence is viewed as positive or negative.
For instance, the US was the world power most deeply involved in the latter stages of the civil war between Mao Zedong's Communists and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists, from 1945 to 1949, first attempting to mediate a settlement and then providing massive financial aid to the Nationalists, who lost and withdrew to Taiwan. Then, in the early 1950s, troops from the two nations came into direct conflict during the Korean war, with tens of thousands killed on both sides. In the mid to late 1960s, during the Vietnam war, Chinese anti-aircraft artillery shot down American planes over North Vietnam and Chinese jet fighters shot down others near Hainan Island.
US president Richard Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972, ending decades of estrangement, was a landmark event in the history of the People's Republic. It not only reshaped the international geopolitical map, leading to the normalisation of diplomatic ties in 1979, but also laid the groundwork for China's opening to the outside world in the following decade.
Duterte's 'pivot' to China offers a reminder that all Asian diplomacy should be guided by subtlety and care
"The US-China relationship has occupied a unique place in China's foreign policy and overall development," said Professor Zhiqun Zhu, an international relations specialist who is director of Pennsylvania-based Bucknell University's China Institute. "Today, the US-China relationship remains the most important bilateral relationship in China's foreign policy."
Is Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal really as dead as Trump and Clinton say it is?
Political luminaries from both nations have played key roles in the evolution of the relationship – from China's communist revolutionaries Mao, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, to modern-day leaders Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping, and all US presidents since 1972, from Nixon to Barack Obama, to former US national security adviser and secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who played a crucial role in Sino-US rapprochement.
President Xi has described the relationship as an "unstoppable river that keeps surging ahead", despite occasional turbulence.
The world's two largest economies are now deeply intertwined, with bilateral trade in goods and services totalling US$659.4 billion last year – up from barely US$991 million in 1978. China is now America's largest foreign creditor, holding about US$1.8 trillion of US national debt, while American companies have set up more than 20,000 businesses in China.
For China and the US, bound by trade, great power brings great responsibility
The deep engagement is also evidenced by the frequent consultations between the leaders of the two countries. Obama has met his current Chinese counterpart nine times since Xi became head of state in 2013 and met Xi's predecessor, Hu Jintao, 12 times from 2009 to 2013.
David Zweig, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's chair professor of social science and director of its Centre on China's Transnational Relations, said the US had played an enormous role in China's economic development in recent decades, both as a purchaser of so many Chinese-made products and through the transfer of technology to China.
"Just like much of East Asia grew through its trade with the US, China could not have developed as quickly as it has without the US market," Zweig said.
Zhu said that without the efforts of Nixon, Kissinger, Mao and Zhou to normalise relations, and without Deng and US president Jimmy Carter's cooperation to help China open up, China would not have achieved such great transformations in the past three decades.
Bilateral relations were generally good between 1972 and 1989, before China's June 4 military crackdown on the pro-democracy movement. But the relationship became more complicated and unstable following the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989 and the subsequent breaking up of the Soviet Union.
Familiarity and contempt: Hillary Clinton's 21-year relationship with China
Zweig said there was a strong US consensus supporting engagement, particularly in the late 1970s and 1980s. But the policy was to encourage China to open up and join the world on Western terms.
However, since 1989, the two countries have had disagreements on a host of issues, ranging from trade, human rights and Taiwan to more recent suspicion and distrust over their stances on regional and global security.
How the US got outplayed in the Asia-Pacific
Washington imposed sanctions on China, including the suspension of high-level official exchanges and weapons exports, following the June 4 crackdown and a subsequent exodus of human rights activists to the US, and also approved the sale of more American arms to Taiwan. Those developments sent a chill through the bilateral relationship that lasted for nearly a decade. When Beijing test fired missiles in waters off Taiwan in the mid 1990s amid rising pro-independence sentiment in the self-ruled island, Clinton dispatched US aircraft carriers to the Taiwan Strait, confronting Beijing on the sensitive issue of "national reunification".
Sino-US ties began to thaw following a state visit to the US by president Jiang Zemin in 1997 and a reciprocal visit to China by Clinton in 1998, the first by a US president following the Tiananmen crackdown.
'Don't ignore China's economic coercion': former Clinton aide's advice to next US president
However, two incidents, one in 1999 and the other in 2001, again complicated the relationship. The US bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in May 1999 during the Nato campaign in that country, which killing three Chinese reporters, and a mid-air collision between a US Navy spy plane and a People's Liberation Army Navy J-8D jet fighter in April 2001, in which the Chinese pilot was killed, triggered protests against the US in China.
However, the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US just months later proved to be a turning point in bilateral relations, with China swiftly expressing its support for Washington's "war on terrorism".
The following decade and a half have seen the bilateral relationship grow wider and deeper, especially in the economic arena and even more so since China overtook Japan as the world's second-biggest economy in 2011. They have tussled over issues including America's bilateral trade deficit and the valuation of China's yuan currency, but such issues seemed to become less contentious in recent years.
Little real progress seen in Xi's sit-down with Obama
Generally speaking, Obama succeeded in maintaining a relatively stable and friendly relationship during his first, four-year term in office, from 2009.
The strategic economic dialogue initiated by Hu and US president George W. Bush in 2006 was broadened to a two-track strategic and economic dialogue by Hu and Obama in 2009, with more than a dozen cabinet ministers from both countries attending the annual meetings.
However, the relationship grew rockier towards the end of Obama's first term, with major changes in the foreign policies of both nations.
From 2012, Obama began to implement his "pivot to Asia" strategy, refocusing Washington's attention on the Asia-Pacific region, just as Xi, the Chinese Communist Party's new general secretary, declared his intention to embark on an ambitious rejuvenation programme aimed at restoring China's global pre-eminence.
China and US to ratify landmark Paris climate deal ahead of G20 summit, sources reveal
Mutual suspicion and distrust has grown in recent few years amid escalating rivalry, even though there have been some cooperative highlights, chief among them this year's agreement to sign the Paris climate change treaty.
They are competing for regional economic leadership, with Obama pushing for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) – which excludes China – and Beijing countering with challenges to the US-led, Bretton Woods international monetary system such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, New Development Bank and its "one road, one belt" blueprint.
Politically they are at odds on basic values such as freedom of the press, freedom of speech and religious freedom, democracy and the protection of human rights.
And on the security front, the two nations are butting heads over a contentious maritime dispute in the South China Sea, an area both insist is a "core national interest". That rivalry has heated up recently following a landmark ruling in July by an international tribunal that denied Chinese claims of sovereignty over most of the South China Sea.
Historical links will ensure the Sino-US relationship endures well beyond the current China bashing
Beijing also sees a recent decision by Washington and Seoul to deploy a missile defence system in South Korea in reaction to North Korea's nuclear weapons programme as another "pivot to Asia' effort designed to contain China.
In US eyes, an increasingly assertive China is intent on challenging the security order in the region that America established after the second world war.
Professor Andrew Mertha, an international relations expert at Cornell University in New York, said the key question now was not who was responsible for the rising tension, but what was the "best way to handle the many conflicting goals and interests of the actors involved".
"Both the US and China need to maintain the maximum degree of flexibility in their bilateral relations," he said.
Zweig said there was a battle in the US between "engagers" and "containers". "However, we cannot see where the doves are in China. This is a big problem."
With Sino-US relations fraying, the world is losing its anchor for stability
Zhu said that while the relationship was complicated it was also strong.
"Fundamentally this is a relationship between two great powers that do not share history, culture or a political system," Zhu said, while adding that it was "a relationship that is too important to be damaged by themselves or others".

Celebrate The 10th Anniversary Of 'Saw' With Re-Release Screenings | Film News
It is hard to believe that ten years have passed since director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell first collaborated on the cult horror film Saw. Loaded with body jolting tremors, thrills and gore, the feature was an instant success gaining $103 million worldwide. Now horror fans across the globe will come together to commemorate the film through multiple screenings scheduled over Halloween. Fandango have released a special trailer in aid of the event which highlights the films iconic moments and praises the indie horror. They are also releasing limited edition posters consecutively over the next few weeks until its grand release.
Despite great difficulty getting their project off the ground, Wan and Whannell travelled from Australia to the USA where they were given a $1.2 million budget and shot the entire film in just 18 days. After the film was screened at Sundance Film Festival in 2004, news of the feature spread like wildfire compelling people everywhere to check out the gore fest. The film went onto spawn six sequels by alternative writers and directors, and although they pale in comparison to the original indie film, the box office thought otherwise as they accumulated $874 million world wide and are often referred to as the most successful horror franchise ever.
Since the success of Saw, Wan and Whannell went on to collaborate once again with Insidious which boomed at the box office and also spawned a sequel. Stepping out on his own, Wan then directed supernatural horror The Conjuring last year which pretty much terrified all audiences and yet again was a box office success. Clearly these guys are horror geniuses! Saw will be hitting cinemas on October 31st for one week, so make sure to grab your tickets fast!

Hi! I'm Mike.
I have been a professional photographer since 2009. I've worked with brides, grooms, musicians, fighters, politicians, a guy that wanted a documentary to be made about him, artists, athletes and kids of all ages.
I've done weddings, birthdays, weddings, headshots, galas, sporting events (MMA is my favorite), a bunch of weddings, premieres, holiday parties, and the occasional traditional marriage ceremony.
Raised in Orange County and based these days out of Los Angeles (well, Glendale specifically), I'd be delighted to talk to you about getting some great images and having fun doing it.
And hey, thanks for reading this! The code word is, "Gorgonzola Salad". Mention that when we talk and something good might just happen.

NEW YORK – Paris is burning, the Olsen twins are scrawny and a prediction on Gwyneth's predicament in today's Foxlight.
Paris Hilton (search) sizzled on "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend. After blowing off David Letterman, the download queen popped up in Weekend Update in a bit so loaded with double, triple and quadruple entendres about "vacancies" and back entrances I can't repeat -- but she came off well. Better than back in Arkansas, where she apparently jilted a local "hayseed" as The New York Post reported. Life isn't so simple after all.
The New York Post's Page Six reports that the Olsen twins (search) may have fat bank accounts, but in person they are Lilliputian. One source who saw them recently claims: "They were so skinny in person it was creepy." But they added: "They were very polite." That shows good breeding. Now if they would just have a pizza.
Finally, are they or aren't they? Spies claim the pregnant Gwyneth Paltrow (search) is trying to beat her baby to the altar. They say she and Chris Martin will be married in the next 90 days after getting a marriage license in Santa Barbara, Calif. the other day. Remember when we all thought Ben and J-Lo were getting married just because they stopped by for a license of some kind in Georgia? Gwyneth will not get married. Foxlight prediction. She'll pull a Madonna and marry later in life.

Historic Lancaster gardens to open to the public
By Adam Bysouth
Gardens rich in history are to open to the public this weekend in Lancaster.
The Hornby Castle gardens are to open as part of the site gears up for the summer season.
Owner Caroline Battersby said: "Hornby Castle historic gardens are a joy to share.
"Not only are there talks, on the castle and the garden, beautiful walks and pottery by Wyn Abbot there is so much to see and do and just enjoy, just don't forget the dog (on a lead!)
"We only open twice a year and this is the last time we will be open.
"Open from 10.30am until 4.30pm each day Saturday and Sunday.
Writing on Hornby Castle's website, she added: "The gardens look magical at this time of year and the team have worked exceptionally hard.
"The new borders are really taking hold and we have replenished the woodland path."
Hornby Castle's central keep tower dates back to 1512 but the house was rebuilt around 1820 with ornate ceilings and carved wood paneling.
Plants will be sold across the weekend and historical talks on the history of the castle will be held in the castle drawing room.
Refreshments will be available for visitors.
The gardens are scheduled to open on May 20.

Forbidden Apple takes bite out of Manhattan
ELMONT, N.Y. - Forbidden Apple underscored his fondness for the Big Apple by winning the $400,000 Manhattan Handicap to become a Grade 1 winner with his three-quarter-length win over King Cugat.
The anticipated battle of the sexes never materialized; champion filly Perfect Sting finished sixth as the second choice after being in tight quarters for much of the race.
For the sixth time in nine starts, Forbidden Apple won a race over Belmont Park's turf course.
In the 1 1/4-mile Manhattan over the inner turf, Forbidden Apple set the pace under jockey Corey Nakatani, who was subbing for the injured Jose Santos. The early leader carved out fractions of 23.95 seconds, 48.94, 1:13.42, and 1:37.20.
The 120-pound highweight and favorite King Cugat, wearing blinkers for the first time, was closing strongly on the outside as the wire approached. King Cugat's rider, Jerry Bailey, said he was rank down the backstretch and the blinkers may have played a part.
"That was a terrible trip for a mile and a quarter," Bailey said. "After he got checked on the first turn, I had to get him going to hold his position and ended up fighting him for the next five eighths. It was a pretty good effort considering everything."
Chris McCarron, who rode Perfect Sting, said, "I had a rough trip. She had nowhere to go from the three-eighths pole to the quarter pole. King Cugat kept pushing her back in and she got bumped hard on both sides on the turn. I don't know if that's what caused her to stop."
McCarron told Orseno to check the mare after the race.
The Gary Tanaka-owned entry of Tijiyr and Sumitas finished third and fourth. Boston Party, Perfect Sting, Carpenter's Halo, Cynics Beware, Understood, and Turnofthecentury completed the order of finish.
The final time was 2:00.77.
Christophe Clement trains Forbidden Apple ($16) for owner Arthur Appleton.

As bedtime short stories, both have undeniable charm and power. While The Princess and the Pea is above all fun and jolly, The Little Match Girl is sad but ultimately joyful. For any child, these Christian tales illustrate that however mysterious or even sad life may seem, every cloud has a silver lining!
The fairy tales Hans Christian Andersen wrote, such as "The Snow Queen," "The Ugly Duckling," "The Red Shoes," and "The Nightingale," are remarkable for their sense of fantasy, power of description, and acute sensitivity, and they are like no others written before or since. Unlike the Brothers Grimm, who collected and retold folklore, Andersen adopted the most ancient literary forms of the fairy tale and the folktale and distilled them into a genre that was uniquely his own.
Storyteller Hans Christian Andersen is famed for his heartwarming tales of enduring love and persistence in the face of adversity. Enchanting full-color images by Golden Age illustrator Edmund Dulac enhance Andersen's fairy tale of a girl's unshakable determination and stirring heroism, a classic that inspired the Disney animated film Frozen.
The tale is about the little poor girl who is sent out to sell matches, Christmas Eve. She freezes but does not dare to go home, to get warm she strokes the matches one by one, but eventually there are no more left.
The famous and much-loved Danish author Hans Christian Andersen celebrated his 200 anniversary the year 2005.
On this occasion we have published five of his best tales retold for children aged 3-9 years and with new illustrations: Tinderbox, The Little Match Girl, The Nightingale, The Emperor's New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling.
Hans Christian Andersen wrote The Little Match Girl in 1848.
HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperPerennial Classics collection to build your digital library.
The book is an excellent way to read Paragraph by Paragraph Translation along your kids.
Your little one can follow along as each individual English paragraph is paired with the corresponding German paragraph.
The paragraphs are not long, so there is no need to do a lot of back and forth to see the German translation and the English text.
The text is relatively simple vocabulary and grammar wise, but not very simple at all, so for beginners this should be a great challenge.
Denmark and Finland supplied the natural background for the quaint fancies and growing genius of their gifted son, who was story-teller, playwright, and poet in one. Love of nature, love of country, fellow-feeling with life in everything, and a wonderful gift for investing everything with life wrought together to produce in him a character whose spell is in all his writings. "The Story of My Life" is perhaps the most thrilling of all of them. Recognized in courts of kings and castles of nobles, he recited his little stories with the same simplicity by which he had made them familiar in cottages of the peasantry, and endeared himself alike to all who listened. These attributes, while they do not account for his genius, help us to unravel the charm of it. The simplest of the stories meet Ruskin's requirement for a child's story—they are sweet and sad.
From most writers who have contributed largely to children's literature only a few selected gems are likely to gain permanence. With Andersen the case is different. While there are such gems, the greater value lies in taking these stories as a type of literature and living in it a while, through the power of cumulative reading. It is not too much to say that there is a temper and spirit in Andersen which is all his own—a simple philosophy which continuous reading is sure to impart. For this reason these are good books for a child to own; an occasional re-reading will inspire in him a healthy, normal taste in reading. Many of the stories are of value to read to very young children. They guide an exuberant imagination along natural channels.
Among the most frequently translated works in literary history, these children's classics invite readers of all ages to enjoy and rediscover the pleasures of time-honored tales.
KidLit-o is a new publishing house just for kids! From reimagined classics to history books, there's something for everyone here!
In this fresh, contemporary translation Rossel and Conroy have endeavored to �preserve for the English-speaking audience the engaging duplicity of Andersen�s style, the tension of play between his sympathetic conversational tone and his use of the studied effect.� This is a tension between the simplicity of stories intended to be read aloud to children ad the subtlety of the allegory skillfully woven into each for the adults who would be listening and �must have something to think about,� as Andersen said.
The introductions provide an overview of Andersen�s life and struggle to become an author, as well as an analysis of his contributions as an artist and storyteller. Each story has also been provided with an endnote giving publication dates, information about the genesis of the tale, and relevant comments by Andersen and other.
Readers who remember with nostalgia such tales as �The Ugly Duckling� and �The Little Match Girl� may be surprised to find the biting satire in many of the stories, such as �The Nightingale� and �The Gardener and the Lord and Lady,� the revealing self-portraits of the author in �The Sweethearts,� �The Butterfly,� and �The Shadow,� the mysticism of �The story of a Mother� and �The Bell� the prophetic quality of �In a Thousand Years Time,� and the complexity and charm of �the Snow Queen.�
The book contains the drawings of Vilhelm Pedersen and Lorenz Frolich that originally appeared in the first illustrated Danish editions of Andersen�s tales and stories.
In this collection are twenty-two tales that best represent Andersen's literary legacy, including such classics as "The Little Mermaid," "The Ugly Duckling," "Thumbelisa," and "The Emperor's New Clothes," as well as largely unfamiliar stories like "By the Outermost Sea." Illuminating notes clarify references in the tales. And in an introductory essay, the Franks explore the writer and his times, placing the enigmatic and often bizarre figure of Andersen among his literary contemporaries, such as Charles Dickens and Søren Kierkegaard, with whom he crossed paths; and they bring to life Andersen's fascinating relationship with the United States. Illustrated with the delicate and beautiful drawings that accompanied the original Danish publication, The Stories of Hans Christian Andersen will delight readers of all ages.
Equally, children who are discovering the joys of reading themselves, will find this adventure story thrilling and extremely engrossing. It is the perfect story to capture a child's imagination while at the same time it offers a perfect starting point in the world of classic literature for children. Accompanied by vivid, eye-catching illustrations, this adventure book is an often overlooked classic, waiting to delight a whole new generation of young readers.
Dear Parent, please make a pace backwards to the times when everything was magic, and share it with your child.
The best illustrated fairytales for children!
Once upon a time were a couple of woodcutters so poor that they tried to abandon their seven sons. Despite the attempts of the youngest one, the parents succeeded and the children were left on their own. They started looking for help, far from imagining the problems they would have to face...
The collection "Once Upon a Time" offers a new and richly illustrated version of the most famous fairytales.
Once upon a time, there lived in the forest a poor logger's family with seven sons. The family had no food to eat so the mother and father decided to abandon the seven sons in the forest to fend for themselves. The youngest son, Little Thumb, who got his name because he was just the size of a thumb at birth, heard his mother and father talking.
He decided to fill his pockets with pebbles and dropped them all along the path on their way to the forest. So the seven boys were able to find their way home.
In the same collection:
• Thumbelina
• The Ugly Duckling
• The Brave Little Tailor
• The Tin Soldier
• The Musicians of Bremen
• Hansel and Gretel
• Three Little Pigs
• Beauty and the Beast
• Goldilocks and the 3 Bears
• Puss in Boots
• Little Red Riding Hood
• Sleeping Beauty
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
• Cinderella
• Peter Pan
The inspiration for Frozen, Hans Christian's Andersen's "The Snow Queen" is one of the most beloved fairy tales in history.
HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperPerennial Classics collection to build your digital library.
The following favorites are included in the collection: The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Princess and the Pea, The Little Match Girl, The Nightingale, The Ugly Duckling and Thumbelina.
Capturing the magic and cruelty of Hans Christian Andersen's original tale, this powerful new version reveals the spectacle of the worlds below and above the sea, and the sadness of unfulfilled romance between a mermaid and a prince.
This was a touring production by Sphinx Theatre Company which opened at Greenwich Theatre in September 2004.

Cinderella's stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds.
Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half.
And in a tale called "The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage," a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other. Yes, the sausage talks. (Okay, I guess that one's not that grim…)
Those are the real fairy tales.
But they have nothing on the story I'm about to tell.
This is the darkest fairy tale of all. Also, it is the weirdest. And the bloodiest.
It is the grimmest tale I have ever heard.
And I am sharing it with you.
Two children venture through forests, flee kingdoms, face ogres and demons and monsters, and, ultimately, find their way home. Oh yes, and they may die. Just once or twice.
That's right. Fairy tales
* "If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and Gidwitz deploys his successful formula of bloody happenings and narratorial intrusion in his third and final installment of unexpurgated fairy tales. … Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for." —Publishers Weekly starred review
"Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined."—Kirkus Reviews
"The conclusion to the trilogy that began with A Tale Dark and Grimm (2010) and continued with In a Glass Grimmly (2012, both Dutton) is equally gorey and awesomely dark. ... As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. … Readers will rejoice."— School Library Journal

What's all the talk about the new Plexus Slim? If you're anything like me you're asking:
"Does the "Pink Drink" really work?"
Well, here's the deal. The new Plexus Slim added a probiotic, so now it's supposed to help with weight loss and gut health. You get these little packets that you mix with around 12 ounces of water, shake and drink. Easy peasy.
Curious to learn more?
Then you'll love the 4 things you NEED to know about Plexus Slim.
Let's get moving…
What is Plexus Slim?
Here are the details:
For starters, Plexus Slim is a dissolvable powder that's mixed with water. The product is made up of:
- chromium polynicotinate
- xylooligosaccharide
- green coffee bean [1]
- garcinia cambogia
- alpha lipoic acid [2]
- mulberry fruit extract
You can drink it twice daily to help you lose weight, according to the official website. It can be taken on the go, a plus for busy dieters. Plexus Slim was introduced in 2011 – that's about five years in the business. The official website carries the product, but we don't think it is available in stores. Plexus Worldwide, the makers of Plexus Slim, has a good BBB rating and there are some good ingredients, but there are a couple of concerns…
Price – "Are You Spending Too Much?"
Let's get started with your wallet and Plexus Slim's price. "This product has a couple of ingredients that can help you lose weight [3] [4]," says the Research Editor. "The problem is you have to buy one to two bags to last one month, and that means you could spend more than $170 and many people just don't have that much to spend."
Let me give you some examples:
"This stuff is expensive. I can't believe you didn't comment on the price of this product. It's $80 [two weeks if you drink two shakes a day] for a one month supply of the slim drink and another $30 a month if you want the accelerator," was one response to Plexus Slim cost.
Another agreed, "I have considered Plexus but it is too pricey for me. I would love options that are a fraction of the cost."
But, you're probably wondering if all reviews said the same thing. No – there are happy reviews too.
One customer said, "As far as costs go, compared to others out there, Plexus is really affordable!" Plus, the company gives you the opportunity to spend less. "I also am a proud ambassador for Plexus, I joined to save money," a seller shared.
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
Benefits of Plexus Slim – "Are Users Seeing Results?"
Now get this: There's been mention by a representative of the company that "drugs need to have clinical trials." This clearly doesn't address supplements, but we did find scientific support for a couple of the ingredients. We are a bit concerned by the limited clinical research into Plexus Slim.
"When you take [a product] that has not been clinically tested, in addition to not knowing where the product is manufactured, there is a good chance you are going to feel [bad]," said a user.
"Is everyone disappointed by Plexus Slim?" I know that's what you're thinking, right?
Not everyone is disappointed. For instance, one user said, "I've been on Plexus for about a month – no weight loss for me (some inches maybe) but I do feel better."
"I have been using Plexus Slim for little almost 2 months, I take the drink and Accelerator and my energy level is up and my hunger is down," was another experience.
In our experience researching weight-loss supplements, we found a small negative, like high cost or lack of support (Plexus doesn't offer representatives), can hinder your chances of long-term success. As such, Plexus Slim's price and lack of customer service may be potential problems.
What About Talk of Plexus Slim Dangers?
Based upon our research, people are wondering if there are any Plexus Slim dangers they should be worried about. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) keeps an eye open for supplements causing side effects or health concerns. If there were reports of Plexus Slim dangers, an investigation would be opened up to address the issue. The FDA did contact Plexus Slim in 2014 about some wording on the website, but nothing about dangers of any kind that we could find.
Plexus Slim Weight-Loss – "What Does Research Say?"
Think about this for a minute.
The makers of Plexus Slim aren't sold on science, but science has studied the ingredients. Sounds silly, right?
- Garcinia cambogia testing falls on both sides of the fence. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, "Garcinia cambogia failed to produce significant weight loss and fat mass loss beyond that observed with placebo." [5]
- Green coffee bean, on the other hand, does show some support for weight-loss. But, we have to take into account the quality of the findings. The journal Gastroenterology Research and Practice says, "It is concluded that the results from these trials are promising, but the studies are all of poor methodological quality." [6] The final ingredient, alpha lipoic acid, has been shown to help with weight-loss when taken as 1800mg daily. There is far less than that amount in Plexus Slim.
- Alpha lipoic acid, has been shown to help with weight-loss when taken as 1800mg daily. There is far less than that amount in Plexus Slim.
The Bottom Line – Does Plexus Slim Work?
Make no mistake about it…we were initially intrigued by Plexus Slim; it is the famous "Pink Drink." There are a few good ingredients in the formula, and we did find some positive comments. Then why are we left hanging up in the air? We're concerned about:
- Price.
- Research tends to fall on both sides of the fence – for and against.
- It is a multi-level marketing company, so you may have to find a distributor to buy a reasonable quantity of it.
If you'd like to get rid of those extra pounds, we always suggest a product that combines scientific support, a good price, and a dedicated customer service team. Among the best supplements we've seen this year is one called Dietspotlight Burn.
It's formulated with a proprietary blend of four clinically-tested ingredients. Based on research, it's been shown these can help spark metabolism, decrease hunger and boost fat loss.
User testimonials around the web are amazing. Dietspotlight Burn is formulated with your success in mind and the company is so confident in it they're offering a Special Trial Offer.
Previous Plexus Slim Review (Updated May 9, 2014):
Plexus Slim: What You Should KnowIn order to lose weight you must drink more water, right? Well, the makers of Plexus Slim created a weight loss supplement around that very dieting rule. The small packet flavors water and adds quite a punch of weight loss ingredients. According to the official website, there are no stimulants or caffeine in the formula, so the dieter does not have to worry about jitters and shakes. Plexus Slim's formulation can be found on its official site. Plexus also offers products like Plexus Accelerator which is an appetite suppressant that is formulated with yerba mate, higenamine HCL, hordenine HCL, hawthorn berry, 5-HTP and green tea extract. Another product from the Plexus supplement line is their Plexus Boost which is taken daily to potentially suppress appetite, boost energy levels and speed up weight loss. Another similar product that claims to have similar weight loss results is the meal replacement Glucerna. Caffeine, however, is a proven weight loss ingredient, so if Plexus Slim included caffeine it would be a benefit, not a drawback. Of the ingredients listed on the product label, only one is proven to have any benefit on weight loss.
List of Ingredients in Plexus SlimProprietary Health Blend: Polydextrose, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Beet Root, Grape Skin Extract, Stevia Extract and Lo Han Extract. Chlorogenic Acid, Citrin K, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Oxypregnane Steroidal Glycoside and Chromium.
Product FeaturesYou have to love a diet product that makes huge weight loss claims and then offers up an ingredient list that does not support those claims. There are several plant extracts and filler ingredients, but a few stand out. The alpha lipoic acid found in Plexus Slim can also aid in treating diabetes, HIV, cancer, liver diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and other conditions. Chromium is typically used to control blood glucose response to food. When food is consumed, blood glucose rises. After digestion is complete, blood glucose falls. Sometimes it falls too low before rebounding to normal levels. A lower than normal dip signals hunger and causes cravings. Chromium may help control levels so they don't dip too low after digestion. This ingredient is clinically proven with human studies. Their Probio5 supplement is a probiotic that supplies a proprietary enzyme and probiotic blend, grape seed extract, vitamin C and vitamin B6 that's supposed to help support overall health and body balance. Another product made by Whole Body Research, similar to the Plexus Probio5, is Keybiotics which contains 14 unique strains of beneficial bacteria to aid the digestive tract. Citrin K is another name for garcinia cambogia. While this ingredient is considered safe for most dieters, recent news links the ingredient to potential liver damage. There are many natural ingredients that CAN cause negative side effects, but that does not mean they will. Plexus Slim's FDA warning does concern us though. However, when it comes to weight loss supplements, there are safe ingredients known to be free of negative side effects that are clinically proven to boost weight loss, like green tea, that could be used in place of Citrin K. We found a few people wondering about Plexus Slim dangers, but we didn't find any indication via customer reviews that this is an issue. The official website for Plexus Slim offers a free trial packet. Plexus Slim Cost for the supplement are not listed on the official website, but dieters can join the website as a one-time buyer to gain access to prices. There are no clinical studies, but there are a number of Plexus Slim testimonials.
Plexus Slim Advantages
- Chromium may help control blood glucose levels to stop hunger and improve energy levels.
- Plexus Slim has a satisfactory BBB rating.
- A free sample is available.
Plexus Slim Disadvantages
- Citrin K may be linked to liver damage.(See Plexus Slim Side Effects)
- Only one proven ingredient is included in the supplement. (See Plexus Slim Ingredients)
ConclusionSo, what's the conclusion of our not-so-quick weight loss review? Plexus Slim is a powdered drink packet that adds weight loss ingredients to a bottle of water. It's rare you will find a fat burning powder, though they exist like plexus diet and Alphamine. The dieter may find the chromium helps to stave off hunger, but the remaining ingredients are not likely to promote weight loss. Another similar product taken before meals is Yacon Syrup, which is a syrup you can take with you anywhere, that is supposed to help you lose weight and feel better.
Plexus Slim, the pink drink, is a 10-calorie diet powder that's supposed to help your body maintain healthy glucose and cholesterol levels. It's also supposed to give you power over food, so no more binge-eating. All ingredients are listed as a proprietary blend, so amounts are not available.

We dug deep into the Plexus ingredients to give you the details you need.
Green Coffee Bean
Before coffee beans are roasted, they are green. Thus, the name green coffee bean. This ingredient has always been around, but it was Dr. Oz in 2012 that forced it into the spotlight. The doctor said, "this miracle pill can burn fat fast, for anyone who wants to lose weight." What is it Supposed to Do? At the heart of the matter is chlorogenic acid. It is a phytochemical that is supposed to reduce blood sugar levels. This is not the same as helping maintain a healthy level, which can suppress appetite. There is a connection between the acid and the laxative effect of prunes. The Federal Trade Commission had a different take on things. According to a settlement in 2015, a company "deceptively touted the supposed weight-loss benefits of green coffee bean extract through a campaign that included appearances on The Dr. Oz Show, The View, and other television programs." Clinical Research Strong clinical evidence into the effects of green coffee bean extract on weight-loss is lacking, though there have been a few articles with positive results. A study in Gastroenterology Research and Practice reported, "The size of the effect is small, and the clinical relevance of this effect is uncertain." [1] There is a long list of medical conditions that are not compatible with this supplement. We strongly suggest speaking with your doctor before taking it. Side effects may include stomach issues, headache or jitters (mostly associated with the caffeine.)
Garcinia Cambogia
Also known as the Malabar tamarind, garcinia cambogia is a fruit. According to the National Institutes of Health, "[There is] insufficient research to draw firm conclusions. Little to no effect on body weight." What is it Supposed to Do? The hydroxycitric acid in garcinia cambogia is the main component. It's supposed to stop hunger and help control blood sugar and cholesterol. This effect on glucose levels could help stop cravings. Unfortunately, there's no science out there that connects this ingredient with weight-loss. Clinical Research If you take a look at a study published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, "There is still little evidence to support the potential effectiveness and long-term benefits of G. cambogia extracts." [2] It is considered safe for up to 12 weeks.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
We have antioxidants in every cell in our body. Alpha lipoic acid is one. The body makes this one, so we don't see the need to supplement with more, in most cases. There may be a small connection with weight-loss. What is it Supposed to Do? According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, "Several studies suggest alpha-lipoic acid helps lower blood sugar levels." This may be beneficial for people with diabetes, though you should always check with your doctor before starting any new supplement if you have this condition. This is not the same as maintaining a healthy level of blood glucose, which can stop cravings and help you eat fewer calories. Clinical Research There is some evidence that taking 1,800 mg of alpha lipoic acid can promote weight-loss. But, take into consideration the warnings and possible interactions that come with supplementation. If you are taking medications for diabetes, cancer or underactive thyroid, it is important to speak with your physician beforehand. We've been keeping an eye on a product that offers four clinically tested ingredients; Dietspotlight Burn.

Plexus Slim Side Effects:
In today's society, weight-loss supplements can play a role in the way we live our lives. However, natural alternatives and safety are not always one in the same. There is a potential for a negative reaction with any supplement, and while Plexus Slim side effects are not common, some individuals may have a different experience than others.
Fatigue can be categorized as being tired or inability to focus. It is not the same as exhaustion, which will last longer, and is not relieved by simply resting. It's a constant feeling of weariness. It often develops gradually and impacts energy, motivation, and concentration. What causes fatigue? There are numerous possible causes of fatigue which include poor blood supply to the body's tissues, inflammatory diseases or infections which cause sleep disturbances, certain medications, lack of sleep, or physical activities. [1]
Nausea is an unpleasant feeling you get typically before vomiting. It can be psychological or physical in origin and may also be caused by diseases of organs outside of the gastrointestinal system, making the cause sometimes difficult to pinpoint. What causes nausea? Some things can cause nausea, including types of food you eat, ulcers, inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis), or stress. Along with nausea, you may experience pain in your abdomen as well as sweating or headaches. Nausea itself isn't a disease but can be associated with several, more alarming causes. [2]
Headaches are a common ailment that affects everyone at some point. Headaches are pain that occurs in any region of the head and can range from minor to severe and host a variety of levels from dull to sharp to throbbing. What causes headaches? A headache could be caused by unhealthy or irregular eating habits, stress, or physical exertion. A primary headache is a nerve, blood vessel, or muscle pain associated directly with your head, while a secondary headache is caused by an external symptom outside of the brain area.
Dizziness can be described as a couple of different things. Lightheadedness is a feeling that can be described as feeling weak or unsteady. Another form of dizziness is vertigo, which differs from lightheadedness, as it causes an unpleasant spinning sensation when stationary. What causes dizziness? Dizziness is typically caused by motion sickness, inner ear disturbance, or certain medications, but can also be triggered by poor circulation or infection. Although underlying health conditions may be the cause, symptoms may be brought on by stress or lack of sleep. Plexus Slim side effects don't always happen, but there have been reports of headaches, nausea, and dizziness along with some others. It's always a safe practice to consult a physician before taking a supplement to avoid any unexpected issues, especially if you are already taking medications, are under 18, are pregnant or nursing, or have a pre-existing medical condition. Side effects are not common in people who've used Plexus Slim, but some have been reported by customers and dieters. These do not represent the majority, but there is a risk when taking any supplement. "I have had a low grade headache from day one, I am tired every afternoon around 3pm." Lisa "I've been sick all day now. It started with nausea, headache and bit dizzy." Chele "I am just asking because I am on day 4 and am feeling unbearably nauseous." Traysie "I quit taking it a month ago because I felt very tired in the mornings after taking it." Nay "About 30-40 minutes after taking it I had a severe pounding headache that seemed to move across my head." Samantha "I have diarrhea every day from this stuff and have increased muscle pain." Robyn "It was making me retain water my ankles were so swollen that I could hardly get my shoes on." Jennifer "I drink more than plenty of water & have only been on for 4 days but I could sleep all day." Claudia "I'm constantly battling a full feeling and I'm exhausted." Eugenia "Ever since I took it this morning, I have a slight headache and it feels like I'm zoned out (like you're in the room but can't focus in on what's going on around you)." Samantha We're all about limiting the risk of side effects when using a weight-loss supplement. We've been noticing that Dietspotlight Burn reviews are amazing with very few complaints.

Plexus Slim Scientific Abstracts:
Green Coffee Bean Extract
The designed reasoning of the systemic research was to assess the efficacy of green coffee bean extract as a weight-loss supplement. The results of the meta-analysis showed a substantial difference in body weight with green coffee bean extract compared to those who had taken a placebo. (mean difference: −2.47 kg; 95%confidence interval: −4.23, −0.72). There was a moderate difference in effect and an active range of the studies. In conclusion, the outcome of the trials was reassuring. However, the methodological element of the studies was poor. More accurate testing is needed to ascertain the usefulness of green coffee bean extract (GCE) for weight-loss. In additional results, suggestions were that GCE had a possibility of being useful in gaining weight and accumulating fat by limiting fat absorption and activating fat metabolism in the liver. In this study, the caffeine was found to suppress fat intake. Furthermore, chlorogenic acid was discovered being partly involved in the suppression, which in turn, reduced the hepatic TG level. [1]
Garcinia Cambogia Fruit Extract
The overall analysis uncovered an insignificant difference in weight-loss between HCA and those who were given a placebo, for HCA. (mean difference: −0.88 kg; 95% confidence interval: −1.75, −0.00). In one of the included studies, there were twice as many negative gastrointestinal issues than with the placebo. In conclusion, the suggestions are that Garcinia Cambogia extract can cause weight-loss in short-term. The overall effects were limited, and there is uncertain clinical importance. In the future, trials should be more detailed and contain more useful reporting. [2]
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha Lipoic Acid (LA), which is also referred to as thioctic acid, is an essential cofactor for mitochondrial respiratory enzymes which boost mitochondrial function. It has already been reported that alpha-lipoic acid had a significant impact in reducing body weight gain in rodents, thus testing the effects of LA in obese human subjects was essential. The results were impactful, seeing the subjects lose substantially more weight than in those who were given a placebo (2.1%; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-2.8; P<.05). In this study, mild and transient urticaria and itchiness were the most typical negative reactions. In conclusion, there was a modest weight-loss effect in obese human subjects. Alpha-lipoic acid may be considered a supporting therapy for obesity. [3]
