Sour emotions mix and mingle with bitter words.
This morning was going to be awkward and unpleasant and more than likely heart breaking, but I didn't know what else I could do at this point. I saw no other realistic options. Today, we'd checked into a hotel for later tonight after the show. Until then we would basically just wander about and be bored. Milo helped me to conjure up a plan while I was getting ready this morning. We walked from our room down to where they were serving free breakfast. Just as we suspected, all the guys were already sitting there eating. Milo patted my hand and I took a breath before plunging in.
"Hey, there she is!" Frank greeted me with his pretty grin. I faked a groan and shut my eyes right before flopping into the empty seat in front of him, right across from Gerard. Gerard wasn't looking at me, but not in a negative way. He was just sitting there, stirring his coffee and smirking to himself. He was probably still fantasizing about last night. I could barely stand the sight of him, knowing what we did together in the back of that van.
"Not so loud Frank. I have the most killer hangover." I fake whined, resting my head on the table. The plan was simple; I was pretend to be hung over and make last night seem like a drunken mishap. I was a good actress, I knew I'd be able to pull it off. I'd even smudged some purple eye shadow under my eyes for dramatic effect.
"Really? I thought you only have two beers last night?" he asked, lowering his voice kindly. I groaned again and shook my head.
"I'll go get you a coffee if you want." Mikey offered from the table next to us. One of the many things I loved about this band was that it was made up of some of the sweetest, most caring boys I'd ever met.
"Thank you sweet pea, that would be just wonderful of you." I said groggily. Mikey smiled at me and gave a nod before dashing off to get the coffee. I turned my attention back to Frank.
"I had one and a half Four Loco's." I explained. Four Loco was a really hard liquor that tasted just like an energy drink, but had the same amount of alcohol as a six pack of beer. I had my experiences with that drink, and I knew well enough to stay away. But I needed it to make the rest of my story seem legitimate. Me saying this caught Gerard's attention. He stopped stirring his coffee but kept his head down. I clenched my teeth, knowing that what I was about to say next would tear him apart.
"Ouch!" Frank cringed sympathetically. I nodded sadly. Mikey then came back with my coffee. He set it in front of me and I thanked him before continuing my fib.
"Yeah, I can't remember a single thing about last night. I kind of remember the performance and then after that its all a big blur. I hope I didn't do anything too stupid. I tend to do some really crazy, out of character things when I'm jacked up on that stuff." I lied, looking at Gerard.
He looked up and I wished he hadn't. In his eyes I saw the most hurt expression I'd ever witnessed come from a human being. For a second he paused. He was hurt, I could see it. Then he rolled his eyes and scoffed before getting up from the table and storming off, leaving his coffee behind. A silence fell over the table. Now I really felt sick to my stomach. I pushed my chair back so that I could get up, too.
"Thank you for the coffee, Mikey." I said blankly before turning on my heel and just walking away. Milo stayed behind to eat, so I just went back up to our hotel room alone. I wanted to be alone. I needed some peace and quiet so that I could get my thoughts straight.
Last night was perfect in so many ways. It was everything I had hoped it would be, more than that even. Last night when I went to bed I dreamed about the vision of her laying out underneath me, naked and porcelain and beautiful. I still had the taste of Desolé's mouth on my lips the next morning and the memory of feeling every inch of her against me. It was something I never wanted to forget. Something I probably never would forget. But it seemed as though Desolé had different thoughts about last night…
"Yeah, I can't remember a single thing about last night. I vaguely remember the performance and then after that its all a blur. I hope I didn't do anything too stupid. I tend to do some really crazy, out of character things when I'm jacked up on that stuff." Desolé said, her gaze meeting mine. I felt a burning hot, almost rage like feeling spread through me.
I couldn't look at her anymore after she said that. I was too choked up to yell or scream or shout. I shot her one final disappointed, angry glance before I stormed off. She was lying! She had two beers and was perfectly sober last night! Why was she doing this? Did she regret it? Probably…I told her if she wanted me to stop I would. But no, it wasn't enough just to do that. She had to humiliate me. I wasn't just upset at this point; I was mad at her.
I'd never been angry with her. It had never even crossed my mind to be so much as upset, but I was angry. I was hurt and heart broken even more than I was angry. Why did she always pull this shit? Why did she always have to shoot for jugular? Why couldn't this one tiny thing work out for me, just this once? I wasn't asking for much! All I wanted was her. And despite how upset and angry I was, I still wanted her and only her. And I hated myself for it.
"Hey man, you okay?" Frank asked, suddenly poking his head into the hotel room. I sat on the bed, defeated and not knowing where to go from here.
"No." I said flatly. I felt the bed sink a little bit as Frank sat next to me. I stared at the ground, lost in a weird sort of daze. Frank patted my back in an attempt to comfort me, but nothing was working.
"Gerard, if she is just going to fuck around with you and not see what a great guy you are, then she can go fuck herself!" Frank told me. I glared at him
"Don't say that about her!" I snapped. Why was I defending her? She'd just broken my heart into a thousand pieces in front of everybody. Frank raised his eyebrows, but then shook his head.
"I just…why would she say that? She told me that she wanted last night to be the way it was. Why did she say that?" I mumbled to myself. Frank looked confused, probably because I didn't tell him or any of the guys about last night yet.
"What do you mean? Are you talking about the show?" he asked. I shook my head and ran my fingers through my unwashed hair.
"No, okay! We slept together last night! We had sex!" I explained loudly. Frank's eyebrows shot up and he shot me a smug grin. I was not in the mood deal with him right now.
"You fucked her? Tell me, who was on top? How was it? Where'd you guys go?" he pried, sending mental images from last night rocketing through my brain.
"Don't say it like that! We didn't fuck, we made love." I insisted. Frank let out a snort and I held back the urge to punch him in the arm. Was it really that bad that I wanted last night to be mentioned as something a little classier than just "fucking"?
"Whatever man. You need to ditch this bitch. She's fucking with your mind." Frank said bluntly. I glared at him again.
"Don't call her a bitch." I said sharply. Here I was, defending her again. I an idiot for still loving her, but I couldn't help it. Through all the bull shit she'd put me through, I still loved her and I probably always would. Frank shook his head and got up, walking out of the room. I was thankful; I wanted to have some time to myself.
All I could think was that Desolé was probably regretting the night before. But why was she so heartless? Milo was right, she was a man eater. I'd seen her break a thousand hearts, but I always told myself I would be different. And here I was, more heart broken than anybody before me. I was so furious with her for what she had just done. But then I felt guilty for being furious. I was just swimming in a gigantic pool of mixed emotions, confusion and despair.
And that's when it hit me; I had fallen in love with the one in the whole wide world girl who didn't know how to love. She was lust without love, she was touch without affection. She was want without need…
All day long I avoided Gerard like he had the plague, but it was okay because he was avoiding me too. I was scared and saddened by the possibility that he may hate me forever and that we would never talk again. And all because I let my stupid, girlish emotions get the best of me. At least I learned not to trust myself with my feelings. Seems as though they were always getting me into some sort of trouble.
But of course, there was a party tonight before the show. The only reason I was going to go was because I wanted to get so drunk that I couldn't remember last night, even if I tried. It wasn't that I regretted that night, not in the slightest. I just wanted all the pain and stupidity that went along with it to vanish. But it seems I couldn't have one without the other. I wasn't very good at obeying my "no drinking before shows" rule, was I?
Milo was off dancing like a damn fool, trying to make me laugh and succeeded greatly. I was standing against the wall backstage, drinking my fifth beer and feeling the happiest I'd felt since early last night. I turned to my left side and suddenly noticed as a lovely little brunette appeared by my side, as if by magic. She was a pretty young thing with dark chocolate curls and big brown eyes. She was wearing a shining, black latex shirt that reminded me of cat women because it pushed her boobs up so much. She had on tight leather pants and Louis Vittons.
"Hello hello." I greeted her, turning my attention fully on her. With such pretty, big brown eyes she deserved all of my attention.
"You're Desolé, right?" she asked in a kind of squeaky voice. Her voice reminded of those bubble-gum cheerleader girls from high school, but not in an annoying way.
"Why yes I am." I smiled at her. She giggled and my heart melted. I couldn't tell if it was the alcohol or if she just reminded me of Leah. Looking and talking to her was like being punched in the face by the past.
"My name's Robin. This is my first rock show, I don't really know what to do." she chimed, batting her long eyelash extensions.
"Well, you're certainly dressed for the part." I winked at her. What was wrong with a little flirting? I needed to get my spirits back up before the show tonight.
But before I even knew what was happening, I felt a pair of gloss covered lips press against mine. Flirting, I would've been fine with but this was just a step too far. I tried pushing her off of me but she had dug her manicured fingers into my hair was holding on for dear life. But I kept trying to push her away, hoping to god there weren't any photographers around. Last thing I needed was another hysterical call from my mother about how I was "turning into a lesbian".
Suddenly, I felt a very firm hand on my shoulder, ripping me away from little Raunchy Robin. I was thankful, Milo had just saved my ass from suffocating. I was about to fall into him and hug him before we called security to through this bitch out. But then I looked up and saw that it wasn't Milo who had "saved" me; it was Gerard.
My stomach did a flip and all I could do was gape as he pulled me away from Robin, through the crowd and over to a bathroom. Gerard pulled me into the bathroom and shut the door. I felt like a trapped animal. I wanted out, out, out. Good god, this was like the Playboy photo shoot all over again…
"What the fuck do you think your doing?!" he shouted at me. I was angry at first. Why did he have to come along and ruin my fun? Even though that kiss wasn't fun, but an invasion of my privacy.
"Who the fuck are you to be telling me what to do Gerard! I'll kiss who I want to kiss! You aren't my dad!" I got defensive for split second, but then he tore down my walls the way only he could.
"You think you can just fuck me, pretend it didn't happen and then go play tonsil hockey with somebody else?!" he continued. I bit my lip and glanced at myself in the mirror. Robin's lip gloss was smudged all down my lower lip and chin.
"Gerard, it wasn't like that okay. She attacked me. I was trying to get away." I mumbled, staring at the cracked and dirty tiles we were both standing on.
"Why did you say that this morning Desolé?" he asked, his voice full of hurt. I looked directly up at him. There was a weight in his eyes, and it weighed on my heart.
"What are you talking about?" I said, at least giving it one last try to see if I could keep up my charade. But I knew there would be no hope.
"Fuck you! You had two beers! And by the time we were in that fucking van you were completely sober." he spat at me. As true as this was and as guilty as I felt, I didn't appreciate being yelled at in a gross ass bathroom.
"Look, I know I fucked up this morning. I didn't know what else to do! I panicked! I ran, like I always do! But I knew if I didn't do what I did, you'd get carried away with yourself." I insisted. Gerard gave me the most fed up look.
"What are you even talking about?" he scoffed bitterly. I held back my urge to hit him because of his attitude.
"I knew you'd think that it meant we're in a relationship, but we aren't." I said flatly. I had to get my message across to him. It was time to cut the crap and get down to business.
"But why couldn't we be in a relationship? Why would that be so bad?" he asked, his slowly becoming quieter and sweeter. He was only making this harder for me. I hated doing this, but I wasn't going to give into him.
"What do you want from me?!" I screamed at him. I tripped over my high heels and literally fell out of the bathroom door and back into the party. Gerard snagged my arm and pulled me back up before I even hit the ground.
"Get off of me!" I snapped, raising my hand to slap him away. Milo appeared by me side and snatched my hand.
"No, Desolé. We don't hit, use your words. But make it quick, we only have a few minutes before we have to get onstage." Milo said calmly, as if he were talking to a five year old. I yanked my hand away and huffed.
"Desolé, I want a solid relationship with you. I want to be there for you, more than anything in the world. I want to be with you." Gerard begged, his eyes wide and pleading. I was too drunk to notice that everybody was staring at us now, but I didn't care what I looked like. It felt like the world was falling around me.
"You were with me, remember?! You fucked my brains out last night in the back of that van, remember? You were with me! You had your turn!" I shouted, staring at the ceiling to reverse the direction of the hot tears that were about to start flowing.
"Desolé, please. What are you so afraid of? Please, let's just work something out. Anything." Gerard said, lowering his voice even more when he saw that I was in tears. I let out a pathetic little whimper and wiped Robin's sticky lip gloss off of my chin.
"Can we just be friends? Please, I just want to be friends. We could even be friends with benefits, as long as we stay friends. I don't want to loose you, but I don't wanna deal with this.." I said honestly. Gerard looked sad and confused.
"Friends with benefits?" he asked, crinkling his eyebrows. Milo tapped his watch, signaling that we had to get a move on. I kept wiping my tears off my cheeks, impatient with them and wishing they would just stop.
"Yeah, you know, fuck buddies. No strings attached. All the fun of fooling around without the commitment or the hassle!" I offered. Gerard sighed and bit his lip. I could tell that was not what he was going for at all.
"Fine, fine. We'll talk about this later, in private. You have to get onstage." he said dejectedly. I felt I had finally gotten through to him this time. Being friends with benefits would probably be great for both of us. Why couldn't I stop crying though? Gerard put his arms around me and pulled me into a tiny, cute little kiss.
"For good luck." he said when he pulled away. I was stunned and thankful. Maybe things were going to work out for once. Maybe this is how it was supposed to be. I nodded and hugged him one last time before turning and walking out onstage with Milo and the rest of the band.
I was still crying when we got out there. I stood at the foot of the stage for a few seconds, looking out at all the crazy kids through blurry eyes. But somebody in the front row caught my attention; a teenager with orange-red hair in a blue shirt.
"Are you okay?" I saw him mouth out to me when our eyes met. I couldn't hear him because of the noise, but I could see what he was saying. I felt my heart warm up and spread through my whole body when he said that. I was one proud mama at that moment, realizing how much I really did love my fans. Even if I was walking onstage crying my eyes out, I had to give them a performance that I was proud of.
"Yeah, honey, I'm fine." I said into the microphone as I picked it up. To everybody else it probably sounded like drunk babble, but this ginger kid knew I was talking to him. I dried my eyes and smiled pretty for the cameras and the kiddies and put on a show.

Maybe my favorite movie of all time.
(via freshhsexycoolsupreme)
Relationships: In 2002 the UK Home Office published the findings of a British Crime Survey to which 6,944 women had responded. Nearly half (45%) of rapes reported to the survey were committed by perpetrators who were victims' partners at the time of the attack. (As of 2010 this has now gone up to an astonishing 54%). Strangers were responsible for only 8% of rapes reported to the survey.
Drinking: Research with mock juries has demonstrated that people are more likely to blame women for rape if they have been drinking (Wenger & Bornstein, 2006).
Intimacy: A survey of 986 Scots carried out by TNS System Three in February 2008 for the Scottish Government found that if a woman was flirting before being sexually attacked, 25% of adults under 24 believe she should be held at least partly responsible, but among those aged 65 and over, that rose to 50%.
Dress: A fifth of the broad cross-section of the Scottish population (700 interviewees) who took part in research carried out by Progressive on behalf of Rape Crisis Scotland in August 2007 believed that women contribute to rape if they wear revealing clothing.
So a newer version of this campaign popped up on my dash recently which got me thinking. A couple of years ago Rape Crisis Scotland put billboards up all across Scotland with the above posters. I remember sitting on a bus and seeing the one of the braless woman (ingeniously put up next to a high school, I might add) and doing a double take because holy shit that's effective. The campaign "this is not an invitation to rape me" was something I'd never seen before but god almighty, was it long overdue. Finally a campaign that not only caught the average passer-by's attention but one which challenged the really crazy misconceptions of rape. It's since been followed up by the equally effective "Not Ever" campaign.
As great as these campaigns are however, the sad truth is that the conviction rate for rape in Scotland is just 3%. Three fucking per cent. Equally horrifying? I was on a Child Protection course recently and found out that the conviction rate for child abuse is also less than 5%.
It really does make you wonder why the most vulnerable people in this country are continually being let down by the justice system.
All images and quotes taken from: http://www.thisisnotaninvitationtorapeme.co.uk
I don't live in Scotland but this PSA campaign makes me really happy and hopeful; anything that calls attention to rape culture is helpful, no matter where it is!
And I love that they use the word rape, instead of trying to sugar coat or soften it.

Domestic abuse against men
Men who are victims of domestic abuse may be reluctant to seek help, but have equal rights to use the law and get help as homeless if they need to leave their home because of violence or abuse.
Seeking help if you are a man experiencing abuse
Victims of domestic abuse can find it difficult to let other people know what's happening and to seek help. Men may be afraid that they won't be taken seriously, or that they'll be criticised or ridiculed for 'letting' a partner abuse them. Many abused men are reluctant to leave the family home in case they are later denied contact with their children.
It's important to get help and support in life when you need it. Men experiencing domestic violence or abuse are encouraged to 'talk it over' by the Men's Advice line, a specialist helpline offering listening, emotional support, information and advice.
Legal rights of men experiencing violence and abuse
Advice on this website about your legal rights if you experience domestic violence applies equally to men and women. For example, if you are a man who has experienced domestic abuse:
- you have the right to apply to the council as homeless if you have had to leave your home
- you can take legal action against the perpetrator (for example by applying for an occupation order or an injunction).
- you can report incidents to the police.
More information on housing rights when you split up is available from AdviceGuide.
Emergency housing for men
There are limited refuge places available for men who have experienced domestic abuse, but you can contact the Men's Advice line for information on specialist agencies or use our directory to find a local advice agency.
If you need emergency accommodation, you could make a homeless application to the council.

O.K. let me take you deeper into how things work in Hollywood and lets start with the murder of Heath Ledger.
- Hollywood has a bunch of "call girls" working for the Illuminati Studio System and sometimes the CIA, which do nothing but fuck actors in order to gather info and even kill them with drugs, if they do not bow down to the "powers that be".
- No one dies from a massage session in Hollywood? Only a set-up by the Illuminati can cause and get away with such a thing.

What are you doing this weekend? Hiking Yosemite's Mt. Hoffmann
If Yosemite National Park is in your plans for a weekend getaway, consider leaving crowded Yosemite Valley to go stand in the center of the park — literally. Hiking Mt. Hoffmann — the geographical center of the park — is a challenge, but hikers are rewarded with sweeping views of the park's backcountry. In fact, it's a 360-degree, bird's-eye view of the park.
--Mike Morris
Image 2 of 11
Hiking Mt. Hoffmann
The trail starts relatively easy and climbs as you approach May Lake at an elevation of 9,270 feet. In total, the trail rises more than 2,000 feet before reaching the top of 10,850-foot Mt. Hoffmann. Prior to the hike, acclimate to the elevation by spending some time along the Tioga Road corridor. Try going for a walk in the Tuolumne Meadows area.

This audio adaptation of 'Every Breath' by Judith Johnson explores the serious social, moral, scientific and political questions raised by the use of animals in medical research.
"Because we need to know. We need to understand"
Increasingly concerned by the use of animals in biomedical research, 18 year-old Sonny has begun protesting against the new laboratory that has been built in the area. His ideals put him on a collision course with his scientist sister, Anita, creating a conflict that threatens to tear the family apart.
Set against an instantly recognisable background of family life and pressures, Judith Johnson's play takes a difficult subject and looks at both sides of the argument. The result is a thought-provoking, even-handed debate on one of the most divisive of contemporary issues.

Notes: You can roast the turkey with just a sheen of oil, or you can add spices for bolder flavor. We've adapted the seasoning rub that Gayle Pirie and John Clark, chef-owners of Foreign Cinema in San Francisco, use on chicken. You can prepare the turkey through step 1 up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
Sunset NOVEMBER 2008
1. Remove and discard leg truss from turkey. Pull off and discard any lumps of fat. Remove giblets and neck; save for gravy if desired. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. If using spice rub, rub it generously over skin and inside both neck and body cavities. Brush bird with enough oil to coat.
2. Place turkey, breast up, on a V-shaped rack in a 12- by 17-inch roasting pan (pan should be large enough that turkey fits inside).
3. Roast in a 325° regular or convection oven, basting occasionally with oil, or pan drippings if using spice rub, until a thermometer inserted through thickest part of breast to the bone registers 160°, 2 to 3 hours.
4. Transfer turkey to a platter. Let rest in a warm place at least 30 minutes, then carve. When you remove the legs, if meat around thigh joints is still too pink, cut drumsticks from thighs and put thighs in a shallow pan in a 450° oven until no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes.
Spice Rub: In a 6- to 8-inch frying pan over medium heat, stir 1 tablespoon fennel seeds until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Pour into a blender and whirl until finely ground. Add 3/4 teaspoon hot chili flakes and whirl until coarsely ground. Pour into a small bowl and mix with 3 tablespoons Madras or regular curry powder, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, and 1 1/2 tablespoons salt. Makes about 1/2 cup.
Nutritional analysis per 1/4 pound boned cooked turkey with skin, based on percentages of white and dark meat in an average bird.

These upcoming engineer goodies are making me so giddy, and I'm not even an engineer, lol. :D I'm really excited with some of the great new things Blizz has in store for professions.
And, as an avid cook in the game, I'm ecstatic about the delicious roasted boar recipe. I would love it if Blizz ran with this sort've idea and created other cute group recipes, like "picnic basket" and such. A great way to sit everyone down in a raid and have them all eat the same thing when it's time to drink/eat. Cooking is by far one of my top favorite professions in the game, even if it's secondary. I absolutely love it.

Jason Babin's Philadelphia Eagles teammates react to bull running reports: "He can't be serious, can he?"
Originally written June 01, 2012 on Philly Sports Muse:
When arriving at the Philadelphia Eagles OTAs this week and explaining his absence from last week's practices, DE Jason Babin revealed something unexpected: He's planning to run with the bulls in Spain in July. Alarm bells rang with fans, teammates and I'm guessing several members of the coaching staff and front office. Here are some of the reactions of other Eagles: Mike Vick: "I'm going to try to talk him out of it, if it's the truth. I would much rather have him on my team this year than have anything catastrophic happen, so we're going to keep him on the safe side." Jeremy Maclin: "That's Babin for you. I wouldn't do anything like that, personally." Jason Kelce: Babin's a crazy dude. He'll do anything to put his life at risk, for whatever reason." Evan Mathis: "There's no way he's serious. He can't be series….maybe he'll go and watch, but he can't be dumb enough to run with them, is he? Is he?" Trent Cole: I know he'll do it. I kno...

A few weeks ago I posted a project I had built that I am sure everyone has seen in the woodworking magazines as well as a few books and in the post I had shown my third book rack and yes I am tired of making this exact project but I cant stop. I like it and I'm hooked. I thought I would change it up a bit by adding a bit of Marquetry to the sides. I set out to find a design that would compliment the style as well as the wood which is cherry I want to do this in the form of an inlay on each side of the book rack. I scanned the photo and I used Photo Shop to put the colors from the veneers I want to use, I just haven't done the shading. Next I will get it printed then cut it out and hold it up to the side if the book rack to see if I like it or not.
The only thing I am not sure about is the fact that the through tenons may cut off part of the design so we will see how it comes out and if needed I may have to make some changes. Design 8" X 12.5

How to Use the Amazon Marketplace for Fun and Profit
Published on - September 23rd, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
This is a guest post from Cady. You can read more from Cady in her fiscal fitness journal in the Get Rich Slowly discussion forums.
While rearranging my music collection recently, I decided to pull out anything I hadn't listened to in a year. I had quite a stack. I looked at some of my titles and decided to sell them. I'd never really considered it before, but since I buy most of my new-to-me music used on Amazon I figured, "Why not try selling some there too?"
I logged into Amazon and set up a sellers account with a few clicks. The sellers account interface is easy to use. For each title, I decided on its condition (used-acceptable for example), and then set my price as the lowest. I sat back to see what would happen.
Making money
I've now sold 28 titles in about two months for about $160 in profits. Let me give you two examples of how the shipping and commission works.
The last CD I sold, Amazon charged the buyer:
- Item Subtotal: $5.50
- Shipping: $2.98
- Total: $8.48
Amazon credited my account:
- Buyer's price: $5.50
- Amazon commission: ($2.62)
- Shipping credit: $2.98
- Your earnings: $5.86
So, in effect, on this one they gave me $0.36 towards the shipping since I put it up for sale for $5.50. Their cut comes out of the buyers shipping costs on this one. The actual shipping cost to me at the post office was $1.61. Less the $0.36 shipping credit up to this point, I've cleared $4.25. The envelope I shipped it in cost me $0.33 at Walgreens on sale with a coupon. So I earned $3.92 on that sale.
I'll use my most expensive one as another example:
Amazon charged the buyer:
- Item Subtotal: $12.00
- Shipping: $2.98
- Total: $14.98
They credited my account:
- Buyer's price: $12.00
- Amazon commission: ($3.59)
- Shipping credit: $2.98
- Your earnings: $11.39
So, in effect, on this one they gave me no money towards the shipping and took some of my profit as well. The shipping costs at the post office was still $1.61. So far, for me, it has been no more than $1.84 to mail a CD First Class via USPS, and that is if it is a double disk or has a heavy booklet. So minus the $1.61 shipping credit and the $0.33 envelope, I earned $9.92 on this sale.
My system
I keep everything I have for sale on Amazon in a bag separate from my collection while waiting for an email to arrive that says "Sold, Ship Now." When an email arrives, I go to the sellers account page, click on the order and then click on "print shipping label." I print out two copies, one for my records and one to go inside the package. I cut out the buyers name and address, tape it to the front of the bubble-mailer and I ship it either the same day, if I get the message early enough in the day, or the next morning when I go to work. While at the sellers account order page, I also send a short note to the buyer that I'm mailing it out first class via USPS.
Amazon gives you an option to get paid either in a Amazon Gift certificate, or every other Saturday they will automatically dump the balance into your checking account. There is a magic threshold of sales that will make Amazon tell you that you can no longer use the gift certificate as an option. You must change to a checking account. That would be a good thing however since that means you are selling a lot of items.
If you don't want to wait for your money you can ask to transfer the balance to your checking account whenever you wish. In my experience, though they say it might take up to five days to credit your account, my bank posts it in about two business days.
Your success will depend on the type music you have. The more common, the less you'll get for it, and then it'll be less cost effective to ship. My personal cutoff is $4. Below that I'm not making enough money to burn the gas to go to the Post Office. My imported Jazz, Gypsy music, Govt Mule and the Grateful Dead off-shoots (like Lesh and Friends, or Ratdog) all make good money. Steve Earle ain't selling real well.
Lastly, although I'm losing in double-digits percentage-wise on commission, fees and shipping, I've gained about $160 I didn't have otherwise. Those discs were just sitting there, and I'd have had to put out quite a bit of effort without using Amazon to turn that stack of 28 CDs into $160. I wouldn't have made $6 per disk at a yard sale. I've tried visiting local used CD shops and I get maybe a $1 a disk if I'm lucky.
So what it amounts to is: I'm paying Amazon to borrow their infrastructure to reach a few million shoppers who were not going to be coming to my yard sale. I probably won't try to sell other things and I have to confess the sale of books for me on Amazon is a waste of time. But I appreciate the tiny income stream that this has generated for me in the last few months.
This article is about Entrepreneurship, Money Hacks, Tools
It pays to use "media mail" when shipping most items with Amazon Marketplace, although sometimes the First Class is about the same/less for CD's.
I also like half.com (owned by ebay). I usually buy my books there and get some real bargains. As far as selling, school textbooks have a lot of potential. It was definitely better for me to sell my books on half.com than to the used books guy sitting outside the bookstore offering
I'm a big believer in selling on amazon.
I sell my used CD's and books and even sell new autographed copies of my own novels.
Highly, highly recommend for a) decluttering and b) increasing incoming cash flow.
I haven't sold on Amazon.com yet, but I have similar results as Cady on Half.com and on eBay.
Reselling is a great little side business.
I started selling on Amazon earlier this month, myself. It started so simply too, wanting to unload a text from a class I took earlier this year. In four hours, someone had grabbed it. I put up a few more items and am oddly hooked to it.
I got rid of a pile of texts from grad school and then medical school on Amazon Marketplace and netted about $400. It's not really worth putting up bestsellers since you can never charge more than $1 or so and they're easy to find in used bookstores anyway. I didn't make anything like a profit, of course, since most of them had been bought new. Best price was $50 for an out-of-print sociology monograph. Now if I could just stop buying books I'd be set.
Sorry – I didn't notice that it was a guest post. Still, it's a bit discouraging to see that the people who give out financial advice have problems with elementary arithmetics…
[...] How to Use the Amazon Marketplace for Fun and Profit ? Get Rich Slowly I'm a big fan of Amazon as both a buyer and seller. J.D. explains his Amazon selling system. [...]

I've hardly ever gotten the full reimbursement for S&H that Amazon charges the buyer. For instance, when I sold a book (weighs about 2+ lbs) Amazon charges the buyer $3.99 but I get reimbursed about 2.50 or so. When I got to USPS to ship the book (via media mail) the shipping alone costs me $3.75 – $4.1x. I can hardly recover the shipping costs from $2.50 let alone the handling fees.
Has anyone ever noticed this?
My husband and I sold all our CDs back in 2000 on half.com. We made $2200 in three months. I now sell books on Amazon and have paid the utilities and grocery bills for many months in a row.
Amazon really is a great place to find and sell used items. I have had good luck finding used stuff for low prices and have had a seller account there for a few years.
While CDs sell well, I have personally found a lot of success selling DVDs. It's a good way to earn a little extra cash from the hardly watched DVDs that are sitting on my shelf. (Shameless plug for my Amazon storefront: http://tinyurl.com/3ac2r8) Thanks!
A record store in Charleston, SC lets you trade in your CDs and DVDs towards an iPod (and now an iPhone!). I did this when the iPod video 5g first came out, got rid of all my CDs in exchange for the 60 gig iPod. They will even let you ship the CDs and will ship the iPod to you (I live nearby so just carried my CDs over).
Check them out:
I'm not sure your math is right, or you've misinterpreted something.
Amazon credits Cady $5.86 for the purchase, *including* the shipping credit. She spends $1.94 shipping it (1.61 postage, 0.33 envelope). $5.86-$1.94 = $3.92, like she said.
You're wrong, Grigory. Amazon gave her $5.86, she spent $1.94 out of pocket, net = $3.92.
(You're including the shipping credit twice. The actual credit + the "difference.")
Shaking that new-car itch: A tale of priorities…
This post comes from partner blog Get Rich Slowly . When I went to the street to get the mail on Saturday…
Amazon takes a cut from both the sale price and the shipping costs and passes along a fixed payment to you for shipping (based on category, not weight). Some of Amazon's cut for shipping pays for the delivery guarantee program.
The net result is that it doesn't pay to ship heavy books for small payments. But a light book can be profitable on shipping charges alone (that's why some vendors sell books for 1 cent).
Can anyone who has used both half.com and Amazon to sell their stuff recommend one over the other?
I've used only half.com, and I love it. They don't take much, cut-wise–much, much less than Amazon, apparently. They also give you about $3 for shipping, which for light books shipped with media mail is always plenty. I've made a couple of hundred dollars over a couple of years as a college student just selling my old books that I don't want anymore.
Making Amazon work for you…
A clever entrepreneur explains how she's used Amazon to declutter her music collection and turn a profit…
Great deal Cady, I was just going to say they would only get about $1 at a yard sale, so you did good.
I use both Amazon and Half.com. I think they're almost too similar to compare. If I have a stack of items to sell, I'll see what each item is going for on both sites and go with whichever will earn the most for that specific item. Whichever you choose, you can easily get more for most items than you could at a yard sale…
Can anyone explain the benefits of selling cd's at amazon over just selling them on ebay? I have a large collection that I am in the process of getting ready to sell, but never even thought of amazon as an option, i was going to go straight through ebay.
I just look at the Math as Total Receipts( price+shipping charged)-your cost of shipping-cost of book ( if applicable- I suppose in this example no cost is being applied to a used book/CD)-commission ( paid to Amazon)= profit
I account for it the same way I do eBay. Both have fees/commission, shipping charges and shipping costs. My main business is selling books on eBay. I buy them New from the publishers or other sources. I sell for a certain price plus shipping.
For example, I might sell a book for $15.00 + 5.00 shipping= $20.00 ( using round numbers, though for psychological and other reasons I never sell for round number prices). Then I have fees of eBay listing, Final Value, Paypal ( all these together would be similar to the Amazon commission), shipping cost of postage and materials ( I buy certain box sizes, but for books mostly I use rolls of corrugated wrap that I cut to size). It might be something like $20.00 total selling price minus 1.56 ebay fees, 0.97 paypal fee, 6.30 cost of book, 2.69 in postage, 0.16 in shipping materials =
# 25,
Some things sell better on Amazon. I have more experience with books than CDs, though. Textbooks sell well on Amazon for me. I think CDs do as well, though I havent done much of that. I find that both sell better with a long listing duration, which will cost more on ebay. ebay charges monthly fees for a store, plus fees every time you list something. Amazon doesn't charge listing fees and you can list and relist an items for however long it takes. Depending on the competition sometimes it's easier to set and get the right price on Amazon. Other times every thing is selling for a penny.
Amazon listing is pretty easy, also. As all you need to do is find the item on Amazon and click " Sell yours" and add it.
It depends. There are so many different variable. I have actually "flipped" books from Amazon to eBay before.
I've sold (and bought) a lot of textbooks on Amazon. Abebooks.com is good for buying if you can stand paperback textbooks.
University textbook stores are a ripoff, but so is the textbook industry as a whole =)
The post office has become picky about picking up larger media mail packages at the house.You should buy a postal scale and use redroller.com for media mail.
This is the first time I've actually tried something touted on a website..and it really worked out great! I used Cady's link to the Amazon seller site, and took about 20 minutes to list 15 books. I went downstairs to grab a few more, and I had my first buyer by the time I got back to the computer. I spent too much on shipping materials because I was so excited I just ran to the corner drugstore for a padded envelope, but the actual postage was only $2.15, so now I understand how people are making a profit selling at $0.01. (Although it still makes me mad :
If you have something that's only selling for a penny on Amazon, check and see only one or two copies are selling for that. If so, it's a temporary price war. Price yours higher and wait for the cheapies to sell. If there are dozens of them for a penny, either list it on Half.com (where the minimum price is 75 cents) and hope for the best, or don't bother.
As far as pricing strategy, you are much better off MATCHING the lowest price, rather than undercutting it (even by a penny). Many of the largest sellers have repricing software that automatically matches or undercuts the lowest price (some of them in realtime). By matching the price you run less risk of starting a price war, and you avoid leaving money on the table.
Thanks for this great post. I've been thinking about selling off my old books and cds for awhile now – this post has definitely renewed that spark!
I didn't read all the comments, so I don't know if this is a repeat, but if you are going to sell a lot of stuff (CDs are a great example) then you'll want to look into getting your packaging material in bulk to reduce your costs.
Todd Dominey over at What Do I Know? published a great post about selling off the majority of his CD collection on Amazon Marketplace. He recommends a company called Uline for bulk packaging. You can get simple, single-CD cardboard mailers for $0.28 each without needing coupons.
This inspired me to jump in and try selling some CD's. I picked a mix of stuff ranging from fairly obscure to quite common. I picked 10 to do a test run with. Turns out one of my world music CD's goes for $50 new these days (I assure you I didn't pay that much) and about half that used. It will be interesting to see how this goes.
If you're already on eBay, then half.com is definitely the way to go. Purely from a feedback standpoint, your ebay + half.com accounts are the same. From looking at how much the poster made on Amazon Marketplace, at first glance it seems as though half.com takes a bit less in commission.
As for half.com over eBay, you have to think about half.com as a real business with inventory rather than an auction site. There is much less work involved in posting items on half.com. If it's a book, CD, video game, or movie, half.com is the way to go.
I only sell stuff on there if it's going for over, say $7. Otherwise the shipping eats any profits. But it's a nice place to get rid of more expensive books I've bought for classes and such.
I've had the unfortunate case of spending more money to send a book than getting paid for it (due to shipping, as Amazon has fixed prices for shipping on books regardless the size) but other than that it has been a pretty positive experience.
I sell books on amazon. I buy them fro $1 or less, and manage a good second or third income with them.
Sure…I have to sell A LOT of books to get to that magic number, but it works out.
Absolutely. I've been selling on Amazon for a couple of years now. I've never sold CDs, but I've made a lot of money selling books, including textbooks which I got probably 200% more than I would have selling them back to the campus bookstore.
I'm a marketplace seller, too. One tip I have for you is that when you're listing your CDs, books, or other items at Amazon, find the Amazon page for the product by searching for the UPC or ISBN number on the product in your hand. Not only is it faster to enter the search (if you know 10-key), but you won't have pick through different versions of the product that you might have to do when you search through title.
Another tip: pay some attention to "natural pricepoints." These are prices that people have been conditioned through years of retail to pay. People are comfortable paying $11.99 for something because, chances are, they've bought hundreds of items at that same price over the course of their lifetime. $11.73 is a bit stranger to them.
Im glad this post cam around. I was just trying to get rid of a buig box of cd's at music tader, and they wanted the whole thing for maybe $10. So, good thing I waited.. And I dont know if anyone said this yet, but you can get free mailers from the ups.com store (totally free, no shipping costs for shipping materials, hah) they even have small media mail ones for cd's/dvd's, and they're not prepaid or forced into a higher shipping category.
Interesting write up. I have used Half.com for years, though just for little things here and there.
Earlier this month, I signed up with Amazon but promptly canceled after I saw the commission charged on my first sale. It was like 30% or so! Definitely not worth it in my opinion. I don't know the Half.com number but I'm sure it isn't that high. I don't doubt that you get a larger audience on Amazon than Half.com, but for my needs Half.com works quite nicely.
Wow… great article! Thanks for posting this!!! I just put up my first item on sale =] I'll keep visiting.
Okay. I did not get a chance to read all the posts, but i feel that AMazon is literally raping its sellers. A 15% commission is high by itself. But then throw in the $40 a month fee, then the per transaction fee of about $1.35 and for those sellers who need to actually buy books to sell them as a real business, a huge chunk of the profits are being taken by Amazon so unless you are buying each book for .25 you are not making any money when you factor in costs of materials and misc. For example, Amazon collected about $400 from me in sales. Once all of their "fees" were subtracted, i only ended up with about $270. I feel like I am being robbed blind. I think the 15% is enough and they would still be hugely profitable. Or maybe they can take 5% and charge a monthly fee of about $20. That would be fair. They are definitely unfair. Unless I have books selling for an average of $30 each, there is no profit after costs of envelopes,tape, paper, labels, ink, gas. Anyone else feel this way?
If anyone reads this Amazon.com is a FUKING rip off, if you sell a book for 5 dollars they will take almost half the money. Also Amazon's prices are outragous! Amazon is a rip off try half.com it is better, safer, cheaper and if you sell the commission is only 15 %.
I purchase from the dame suppliers Barnes and Noble and Borders purchase from, I just did a spot check on 40 new items. Mya verage wholsesale is 40% off of MSRP I found an Amazon fee calculator online not sure if it is correct but I beleive it to be, and I would not be making profit on a single transaction. I noticed most in this forum or selling used so from that standpoint its all profit any in here sellling new things and actually making a profit I would really like to know.
wow, this is really inspirational. i'm definitely going to have to look into this.
Just wanted to chime in on this thread and say I've made about $250 in 4 weeks off of marketplace. If you have a good selection of CDs you can do well! I find that offering my own critical opinions on the CDs, in addition to pricing them low (not the lowest though), really helps them to sell.
By critical opinions, I mean talking about what my favorite tracks are, why this album is so good, etc. Of course, it's also important to mention the condition of the CD too. Just actually writing about the specific Cd you're holding really stands out next to cut & paste '100% GUARANTEED SHIPPING' blurbs and can get people to spend an extra $.50 or $.75.
I really appreciate this thread.
Here's another way to get free (used) mailers, and help the planet at the same time: post a WANTED ad on Freecycle or craigslist for used padded envelopes. You have to use a little more tape, but it's worth it to me.
Does anyone know how to get information for completed sales on half.com or amazon.com? For example, on Ebay, you can get a list of all completed listings, so you can see how much interest there is in an item.
I sell on Amazon marketplace pretty regularly, both books and CDs (and occasionally DVDs). They do charge more commission, but I like them better than eBay because I don't have to take photos, upload them to my computer, crop/edit them, upload them to the site, write a description, blah blah blah. Just click a few things and you're good to go. Plus they don't charge listing fees (or monthly fees — don't know where the above poster got that).
It's true that you can get those unfortunate situations with Amazon where you pay more to ship something than you got for it (and sometimes for international shipping they don't credit you enough). I generally don't list anything particularly heavy for those reasons (unless it's a textbook and is going for enough to cover the extra cost). I've found that it evens out in the long term, and I don't mind paying the extra since it's much less hassle.
It should also be noted that Amazon expects sellers to ship Media Mail, NOT First Class. Sometimes First Class is cheaper (e.g. for CDs and smaller books), but you should never use it for heavier books, where you might pay $8 to ship First Class while Media Mail is only $2.58 or so. I'll upgrade my buyers to First Class when it's cheaper or the cost is more or less the same, but otherwise, Amazon won't fault you for using Media Mail, even though it has a longer delivery time.
I haven't sold on Half.com since before they merged with eBay, so I can't really speak to which is better. I never had much luck on there, but that was a VERY long time ago.
I've sold books on Amazon and for the most part I generally get somewhere between 65% and 70% of the purchase price (after paying commission and postage). You do need to be careful selling large items not qualified for media mail, as they can be quite expensive to mail. I sold one item for $70 but ended up getting only 55% of that! Also, if you use the online USPS labels, you can get delivery confirmation for $0.18, which is nice as you know when your item was delivered. Next up for me is to try selling some of my old CD/DVD/VHS.

Treat Your Cravings for Sweets by Using Spices and Herbs
Craving those desserts and sweet foods but are diabetic and want to avoid the simple sugars? Want to lower the calories in a recipe?
Get these flyers to display in your workplace:
Go to Ask the Diabetes Educator to ask your questions about diabetes.
Here are some tips to using spices and herbs in your cooking and recipes. You can cut the sugar by as much as 1/3 or even 1/2 by increasing the sweet-tasting spices and flavorings in the dish. Those wonderful spices and herbs that we use at holiday time can be used to give sweetness all year round. Try cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and mace in a dessert, fruit, grain and even vegetable dishes. Other herbs that help give foods a sweet flavor include sweet basil, coriander, mint leaves and lemon verbena. Other spices include sweet paprika, cassia (Chinese cinnamon), cardamom, vanilla and ginger.
Cooking Tips
Herbs are leaves of fresh or dried plants. Add fresh or dried herbs at the end of the cooking time.
Spices are aromatic parts: buds, fruit, berries, roots or bark -- usually dried -- from plants that thrive in tropical regions. Add at the beginning of the cooking time.
If you crave sugar foods, eat more whole grains, squash, apples and cooked fruits. If you crave sweets, eat more meats, beans, fish, eggs and chicken while eating less processed grains, refined flours, processed fruits and jellies.
Two sweeteners that are getting attention include Stevia and Agave. Stevia is an herb in the sunflower family that is native to Central America and South America. It is widely grown for its sweet leaves. The sweet taste has a slower onset and longer duration than sugar. It is 300 times sweeter than sugar and has negligible effect on blood glucose. You can now find it in the grocery store as Truvia and PureVia ready to sweeten your favorite foods and beverages.
Agave nectar is a sweetener produced in Mexico from the Agave plant. It is sweeter than honey but less thick and sticky. It is primarily fructose and glucose, so you do need to count it as a carbohydrate (1 Tablespoon = 60 calories, 16 grams carbohydrate). Its glycemic index is lower than many other natural sweeteners and, therefore, may not raise blood glucose as quickly or as high as sugar. Light agave nectar has the mildest flavor and will sweeten delicate tasting foods and beverages without changing the overall flavor.
Sources: American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic Association and The Encyclopedia of Herbs, Spices and Flavorings by Elisabeth Lambert Ortiz 1992
Spice It Up!
from the American Dietetic Association
Dozens of herbs and spices can provide variety to your cooking, making an old meal new while earning you points with your family.
Here's the difference between spices and herbs: Spices grow in tropical areas and come from the bark, buds, fruit, roots, seeds or stems of plants and trees and are usually dried. Herbs grow in temperate climates and are the fragrant leaves of plants.
Cook herbs and spices with these foods to enhance the flavor of your meals:
Add small amounts of dried herbs at the beginning of cooking. Add fresh herbs at the end of cooking and use more than you would for dried, since fresh herbs aren't as strong. Get more ideas from our Herb Guide.

THUNDER BAY -- For nearly five years the Thunder Bay Chill's prospects of picking up at least a point in each home game were as guaranteed as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
To expect a different result would be unrealistic. That is until Friday evening.
Spurred by an 87th minute go-ahead goal by Carson Pryor the St. Louis Lions shocked the Chill, registering a 2-1 upset victory in Thunder Bay's Premier Development League regular season home opener at Chapples Park.
Even though Thunder Bay controlled the ball and dictated pace of play for much of the contest, the visitors were able to capitalize on the few opportunities they were able to generate.
Chill head coach Tony Colistro said the Lions were able to exploit midfield turnovers and catch the backline cheating and playing too aggressively.
"We looked a little loose in the back and took a few more risks and got caught there," Colistro said.
"We need to be a little more cautious because we are losing the ball in the middle of the field and that's where teams are catching us off guard."
The defeat marked the first time the Chill had dropped a regular season match on home territory since June 2009 and is the second straight in head-to-head meetings with St. Louis dating back to a road defeat last season.
Despite the regular season still being in its infancy, the defending Heartland Division and Central Conference champions are suddenly sporting a two-game losing streak after dropping a 3-2 decision to WSA Winnipeg on the road last weekend.
The early stumbles show the difficulty and process of having a new group of players coming together quickly can't be taken for granted.
Colistro made frequent adjustments throughout the course of the game, switching players to different sides of the fields and making multiple substitutions.
"We still need to come together as a team. You bring in 14 new players it takes a little bit of time. We have to work harder," Colistro said.
"We're still tinkering with our lineup and figuring out where guys need to play."
The turning point of the match came with a little less than 15 minutes remaining.
Chill keeper Daniel Alvarado was assessed a red card for a goal-saving tackle on Lions forward Vadim Cojocov in the 76th minute after Cojocov was sent in alone on a forward ball.
The move brought Mitchell Thorn into the game from the sidelines and while the ensuing free kick from Jordan Roberts rang off the woodwork the Lions were able to follow through with the opportunity with Thunder Bay reduced to 10 men.
With the contest appeared to be headed towards a draw, Pryor delivered a left-footed strike that rocketed past Thorn and into the goal, sending a wave of celebration through the Lions bench and silencing the home crowd.
Thunder Bay had opportunities to take command of a game that had been squared away since the first half.
The Chill had a six minute stretch where they were buzzing around the Lions net, including a pair of prime looks for midfielder Vitor Huvos but could not solve the defence and keeper Iain McTurk.
Throughout the game there were a lot of instances where the team's offensive players had moments of uncertainty, squandering potential opportunities.
"Eventually they're going to establish who they are and what they're able to do and once they play with that confidence I think you'll see a much stronger team. We've had to change up front the last three games so it's a matter of us trying to find the right combination," Colistro said.
Early on it looked like the match would be a continuation of the Chill's dominance at home as they opened the scoring, striking in the 11th minute.
Chill forward Ivan Argos Ocerin drew first blood as the beneficiary of aggressive midfield play from teammate Robert Casabella, who created a turnover before sending the lead pass ahead.
Thunder Bay dominated possession for much of the first half but cracks in the backline grew evident as the minutes ticked away.
The Lions were able to get a few runs together before finally getting a ball past Alvarado.
Cojocov came free with a loose ball in front of the net, dodged pressure from a desperately charging Chill defender and found space through Alvarado.
Pitch marks: The Chill outshot the Lions by a 15-8 margin…Chill defender Adrian Crace was issued a yellow card during extra time in the first half and midfielder Dominic Roberts picked one up in the 51st minute…The Chill take on the Springfield Demize on Saturday at Chapples Park with the game scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

The beach. What's not to love? The soothing sound of crashing waves, kids building sandcastles, and seagulls scrambling for free snacks all while you relax on your beach towel, mindlessly drifting away on your private mental yacht sipping a Mai Tai. Now imagine doing this from the comfort of your very own beach home.
This year's coolest beach homes list includes homes in the usual spots you would expect to top a list: California, Florida, Hawaii. One of the two Hawaii homes on the list offers 125ft of tropical beach frontage on almost 1 1/2 acres of property boasting a 6 bedroom main residence and 2 separate guest homes each containing 4 bedrooms. Check please, I'm ready to go to paradise. Or enjoy the Southern California sunset from your rooftop pool overlooking the ocean in a Manhattan Beach home with floor to ceiling windows and panoramic Pacific views.
Another remarkable home is a Mediterranean Beachfront Masterpiece in Marco Island, Florida. This home was built as a tribute to the particular Italianate style unique to the mountainous terrain of the Amalfi Coast. We happen to be suckers for all things Italian, especially gorgeous coastal architecture.
A few homes that might surprise people who aren't familiar with the beauty of the middle and upper east coast of the U.S. are located in Montauk, New York and in New Jersey. Yeah, we said Jersey. Don't knock it till you've tried it. This hi-tech home in Loveladies, New Jersey has 125ft of pristine Atlantic coast beach frontage, a 3-stop elevator, and ocean views in every room. It will truly 'soothe the soul.' A bit higher north is the East Hampton home that comes with an open door policy. Full glass walls in the main living area slide open allowing you to enjoy the ocean breeze without dealing with sand in the hidden crevices of your chosen beach attire.
Without further ado, we present this list of the 2010 Top Ten Coolest Beach Homes For Sale to fuel the imagination. All these beach homes are an exceptional place to spend a summer and the best part is, they are all currently for sale (as of list publication).

Fine wine and entertainment, but ....
Aug 03, 2014 by: bilbodad from Maryland
Just back from an afternoon at Elk Run. Did a tasting, bought some of the wine to take home along with some wine, very good cheese and bread to eat while listening to the Celtic entertainment. Peat & Barley, who are just wonderful. The desert wine "Sweet Catherine" is excellent, and the Sangria they made from it was perfect for a warm summer afternoon. They were 99% of the way to an "excellent" rating, but .... walking back to the car, my wife was called to by someone (owner?) who said we couldn't take the wine glasses from the tasting, nor the plastic plate we had the cheese & bread on, with us. Huh? We spent almost $200 and they were worried about loosing a plastic plate? I've been to a heck of a lot of wineries for tastings, and never, ever did they not include the glasses. Some even promise a free tasting if you bring their wine glass back the next time. Thanks for ruining an otherwise fine afternoon ....
Great wines
Jul 09, 2014 by: Cindy M from Montville, Connecticut
Took some time in our trip to try some Maryland wine and choose this quaint little winery. Although the power was out, we were still accommodated by a very friendly young lady. The wine was very good.
A very good vineyard, although the wines are a tiny bit pricy.
May 22, 2014 by: Jeannie82649 from Ball Ground, Georgia
We have two or three favorite wines from this vineyard, and the rest of the wines are certainly worth trying. There is an outdoor area that can be used for events or just a quiet moment. The vineyard does not ship its own wines, it uses a distributor instead, so shipping wines to other states can be a bit problematic. Overall, this vineyard is worth a visit. Since there are quite a few vineyards in the general vicinity, one could certainly make a day of it.
Friendly and Fun Wine Tasting
Mar 27, 2014 by: SheddVA from Arlington, Virginia
My girlfriend and I recently visited Elk Run Vineyards during the Antietam Highlands Wine Trail weekend. As part of the weekend's festivities, the vineyard was providing barrel samples as part of their tastings. The tastings were hosted by Elk Run co-owners Fred and Carol Wilson. The Wilsons were quite entertaining as they led the group thru the tasting that compared the vineyard's current releases to those wines still aging in the barrels. The Wilsons good natured ribbing of each other led some in the group to suggest the take their "act" on the road or to Las Vegas. And, the placement of an Elk Run bottle of wine in a recent episode of the TV show House of Cards led to more good natured fun. As for the wines, they were quite drinkable with the cabernet and merlots standing out. Although our tasting ended near the vineyard's closing time, we were allowed to enjoy a final glass of wine with no rush or worries by the staff. As opposed to the glossy tasting rooms you may encounter at wineries in Northern Virginia, Elk Run's facilities are quite rustic and down home. But, the tasting room fits perfectly with the laid back and friendly atmosphere. Elk Run is definitely worth a stop during your next visit to the area.
Wine and Yoga
Aug 11, 2013 by: Dayripgal from Ellicott City, Maryland, United States
Tried out recent event at Elk Run: Yoga and Wine. If you like yoga and you like wine -- try Yoga and Wine in the Vineyard, at Elk Run Vineyards and Winery. It combined an hour-long session of yoga followed by a wine-tasting. Yoga House owner Jennifer Topper has held two sessions so far, one at Serpent Ridge Winery and the one at Elk Run, with an additional one planned for September. The Elk Run event started at 7 p.m. with over an hour of outdoor yoga. It was overcast but not raining, but fortunately there was a tent so a little rain wouldn't have made much of a difference. Atlhough it's a cool idea for "girls night out," there were supportive boyfriends and husbands also participating -- so also an idea for date night. Following the yoga, we went in for wine tasting. We got to select 8 wines to taste from their list of 16. Only one - the sparkling wine - was unavailable for tasting. It was your typical wine tasting with plenty of good information on the wines and vineyards. The sommeliers were very nice, informative, and helpful, and made us feel comfortable. It's worth noting that Elk Run only uses its own grapes. Read more about wine and yoga at Elk Run at http://www.midatlanticdaytrips.blogspot.com/2013/08/yoga-and-wine-in-vineyard.html.
