Other releases:
This CD is Lucette's 7th release on Dark Duck Records and with each subsequent release, her musical craft gets more and more focused. Another excellent and yes, recommended release. This release again features her trademark ambient sounds, and once again, she throws in some gentle beats and rhythms that fill out the sound. This release also spotlights a variety of vocal samples and "voices" to fill out the sound. I liken it an otherworldy alien choir.
Lucette Bourdin is a native of France and grew up in the villages and towns near the Doubs River in the eastern part of the country. The childhood phase of scribbling and coloring never ended for Lucette nor could several years of law school diminish her desire to become an artist. So, when she married an American and moved to the United States she felt her life was going to start over and her art would begin. Always an independent and self-disciplined individual, and feeling that the art programs available would only limit her expression, Lucette embarked upon a rigorous study of artists, color and design which eventually resulted in her own unique style.
Using watercolor/gouache as her media, Lucette has developed a painting style, which both expresses and evokes the subtlety of the soul. The outer landscape is a metaphor for the spirit that seeks expression as the light of transformation and redemption.

The Atlantic menhaden is one of the most abundant species of finfish in estuarine and coastal Atlantic waters. The second most important species harvested in the United States in terms of quantity, it is factory processed for oil, protein meal and solubles, and is used as bait for commercial and recreational fishing. Menhaden are consumers of plankton and plant detritus, and, in turn, are fed upon by many predatory fish, mammals and birds.
The Atlantic menhaden is a member of the herring family, Clupiedae, but unlike shad and river herring, they spawn in the ocean and their young develop and grow in the less saline waters of estuaries during their first year. Menhaden are silvery in color with a distinct black shoulder spot behind their gill opening and a variable number of smaller spots on their sides. Like shad and herring, they possess a series of scutes along their belly. Their bodies are moderately compressed, their caudal fin is deeply forked, and their fins lack spines. Atlantic menhaden range from Nova Scotia, Canada to central Florida.
By convention, March 1st is considered the average birth date for the species. 1-year old menhaden are about 6 inches fork length and weigh 2-3 ounces, 3-year old menhaden are approx. 12 inches long and weigh over 0.5 lbs, and 6-year old menhaden can be approx. 14 inches or longer and weigh approximately 1 pound. Fish as old as age 8 were fairly common in the spawning population during the 1950s and early 1960s, but fish older than age 5 have been rare in recent years. An exceptionally large fish weighing 3lbs 6oz. was reportedly taken in August 1996 from the Chesapeake Bay. Sexual maturity begins as age-2 fish enter their third fall, prior to their third birth date.
Major spawning areas are from New Jersey to the Carolinas; spawning occurs primarily offshore (20-30 miles) during winter. Buoyant eggs hatch at sea, and larvae are carried into estuaries where they spend most of their first year of life. Young menhaden begin migrating to the ocean from Chesapeake Bay nursery grounds during the fall, however, significant numbers remain within the Chesapeake Bay over the winter months. Adult and juvenile menhaden form large, near surface schools, primarily in estuaries and ocean waters near shore, from early spring through early winter. By summer, menhaden schools stratify by size and age along the coast, with older and larger menhaden found farther north. During fall to early winter, menhaden of all sizes and ages migrate south with concentrations forming in the ocean off the North Carolina capes.
The menhaden fishery for reduction had its origins in New England during the early 1800s and spread south after the Civil War. The purse seine was introduced after the Civil War, allowing the fishery to expand. Coal-fired steamers gradually replaced sailing ships as carrier vessels in the late 1800s; diesel and gasoline engines gradually replaced steam engines following World War I.
Major innovation after World War II included use of spotter aircraft, radio communications, nylon nets, hydraulic power blocks, aluminum purse boats, fish pumps, and large carrier vessels (greater than 150 ft. long).
The number of vessels in fishery reduction declined from 150 in 1955 to 31 in 1993, while the number of plants declined from 23 in 1955 to 7 in 1993 (including two factory ships). During 1994-97, three plants operated with about 20 vessels. This decline in vessels and plants is offset by increased harvesting and processing efficiency.
Landings and fishing effort increased from 1940 through late 1950s, declined precipitously during the 1960s, and then improved significantly during the 1970s and early 1980s. Annual landings during 1990-1997 averaged 319,000 metric tons. Landings for 2000 only totaled 167,000 metric tons, the second lowest since the National Marine Fisheries Service began keeping records in 1940.
In 1996, about 36% of U.S. Atlantic coast commercial fisheries landings by weight were Atlantic menhaden. Landings of menhaden for bait by other fisheries (such as pound net and purse seine) are about 10% of the Atlantic menhaden catch.
In 2008, only one shore-side reduction plant operated on the U.S. Atlantic coast. This plant, utilizing about 10 fishing vessels, is located in Reedville, Virginia.
The overwhelming majority of menhaden landings (over 50% in recent years) come from the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay. The remainder are caught in coastal waters from New Jersey to Virginia, mostly within 5 miles of the ocean shore. Maryland has prohibited purse seining in state waters (0-3 miles from the coast) and in the Chesapeake Bay since before the 1950's.
Products and Uses
The purse seine fishery for reduction processes menhaden into fishmeal, fish oil, and fish solubles. Fishmeal is a valuable ingredient in poultry and livestock feeds because of its high protein content (at least 60%). The broiler (chicken) industry is currently the largest user of menhaden meal followed by the turkey, swine, pet food, and ruminant industries. The aquaculture industry has recently demonstrated an increased demand for fishmeal as well.
Menhaden oil has been used for many years as an edible oil in Europe. The oil is refined and used extensively in cooking oils and margarine. In 1989, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that fully and partially hydrogenated menhaden oil is a safe ingredient for human consumption. In 1990, the FDA proposed an amendment based on an industry petition, to the standard of identity for margarine to permit the use of marine oils. It was approved in 1997 and could provide a significant new market for omega-3 rich menhaden oil.
Catches from the menhaden purse seine bait fishery are used by sport fisherman as chum and as cut or live bait for sportfishes such as bluefish, striped bass, weakfish, king mackerel, red drum, shark, and tuna.
Chesapeake Bay
The Chesapeake Bay is the most important nursery area for juvenile menhaden along the Atlantic coast; they utilize almost the entire Bay and its tributaries. Larvae are pelagic and spend approximately one month in waters over the continental shelf before entering the Bay and moving into lower salinity waters in estuarine tributaries where they metamorphose into juveniles. These juveniles, along with older year classes of Atlantic menhaden remain in the Bay until the fall when most migrate to ocean waters as far south as Cape Hatteras. The following spring menhaden return northward as far as New England waters, with large numbers entering coastal estuaries, particularly the Chesapeake Bay. Those menhaden remaining in the Chesapeake Bay during the winter-time are the major food source for resident and some migratory striped bass.
Atlantic menhaden are the most important and abundant large prey species in the Chesapeake Bay. During summer months, these fish swim in large schools and their silvery bodies can often be seen near the water's surface. Juveniles primarily feed on zooplankton. Adults are mainly herbivores, but retain the ability to feed on zooplankton. Adults are very adaptable, as they feed on many species of plankton as well as suspended organic plant detritus. As prey and filter feeders, Atlantic menhaden are an ecologically critical fish species. They consume and redistribute a significant amount of energy (by turning plankton into menhaden flesh) within and between the Chesapeake Bay and other estuaries, and the coastal ocean. This is due, in part, to their tremendous numbers, individual growth rate, filter feeding capacity, and seasonal movements. An adult fish can filter up to a million gallons of water every 180 days. A robust Atlantic menhaden population has the potential to consume up to 25% of the Bay's nitrogen (by plankton removal) in 1-year. Menhaden are an extremely important prey species for many predatory fish such as striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, and spanish mackerel. Because of their schooling behavior, they are also a favorite target for the common loon, herons, egrets, gulls, gannets, ospreys, and eagles. Some mammals, such as whales and dolphins, also feed on menhaden.
Menhaden recruitment to the Chesapeake Bay has been low since the early 1990's. Recent studies indicate overfishing has been occurring for decades. Menhaden mortalities from disease and pollution occur throughout their range. These, and perhaps other factors, have decimated the Atlantic menhaden population.

COLUMBUS — The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio has filed a federal lawsuit that seeks to delay next week's execution of a death row inmate who wants DNA testing.
Darryl Durr is scheduled to die April 20 for raping and strangling a 16-year-old Elyria girl in 1988.
The ACLU says a Cuyahoga County court last year allowed DNA testing on some items but refused to allow it on a necklace found on the victim. The lawsuit filed today seeks an order to prevent Ohio from executing Durr until the court rules on an appeal in the matter.
Durr maintains his innocence. He was convicted largely on the testimony of a girlfriend who says she saw the victim tied up in his car and that Durr also confessed.
A message seeking comment was left for the Ohio attorney general's office.

Why, it's a pic of one of the fine staff at Cemetery Dance Publications packaging and shipping the new Stephen King novella BLOCKADE BILLY.
Which I totally ordered because I'm the girl who cried all over Stephen King when I met him in Atlanta last year. So, while the first photo should have me all agog, like, OH MAN! My copy's finally a-coming! Squee! It's more like. Crap. My copy's coming. *stumbles* You know why? Because the first photo reminded me of this:

SAY YES, a story of love, life, friendship, and bouncing back
Chapter One
Seven years ago when we were dating, I once joked to Breandan that one of my life goals was to have a garage and actually park in it. Everyone fills it with junk and parks outside!
After we got married and bought our loudly purple, contemporary Victorian-style house five years ago, he emptied all the boxes from the garage within a week and moved my car inside. Back then, he called me the Lady of the Castle. A little castle, but it did look like my own tiny castle, and I loved it.
For several years, I always smiled when I went into the garage and got into my car, thinking how much my husband loved me. Today as we got into his Jeep together, I didn't. It'd been hard to find anything to smile about the last year, and I was thinking about dinner with our friends, who had invited us over for dinner on a Monday night out of the blue.
We had both just gotten home, freshened up, and then jumped in his Jeep to head across Eugene. I had pulled on a pale green lacy T-shirt dress, which I liked because it seemed fancy and casual at the same time. With a shiver, I realized the dress probably wasn't warm enough for a March evening in Oregon but it was a bit late to change.
Breandan noticed my shiver and turned on my seat warmer as we left our neighborhood, a cluster of houses on a small hill, nestled under tall evergreens. His freshly applied Vince Camuto cologne tickled my nose, a light sophisticated scent. It made me think of the year after we met, our last year of college. He wore a green long sleeve shirt that I liked on him.
"How did it go with that house?" I asked, meaning the house he was thinking about buying. He owned a small real estate company and invested in properties. He had gone to Florence on the coast today to look at a two story home that he wanted to buy in order to rent out as a vacation house. "You were super excited about it yesterday."
"Well…" He blew out his breath as he made a turn. He use to tell funny stories about his nerdy-hipster business partner Jerry talking with the coffee pot in his hand and accidentally smashing it against a corner. A few years ago, he would have launched into something like that, letting his Irish accent out in full force.
Breandan McKee was the most charming, handsome, fun man I had ever met…and fell in love with and married. The man melted hearts with a look. With his thick, loosely wavy hair and distinctive nose, he looked like Patrick Dempsey from in Gray's Anatomy (but with lighter hair) who played Derek Shepherd, or Dr. Dreamy. That really fit Breandan, so much so that for a long time I thought the actor was Irish too.
We used to joke about it. He moved his hand on the steering wheel and my gaze caught on his wedding band. That made it hurt all the worse now. He didn't know, of course. I was the one who changed.
"It needs a lot of work, too much to make it worth my while," he said with a disappointed shrug. When he looked over, his light blue eyes weren't sparkling.
"Darn. That sucks."
"Yeah, it goes that way sometimes. I saw a few others but they weren't priced right. It'll happen eventually." With each sentence, his voice lifted. Breandan was one to bounce back from things quickly.
He loved what he did for a living, working with his quirky friend Jerry, who had been his next door neighbor in high school. They sold houses the traditional way as real estate agents, flipped houses, and invested in properties too. We had one duplex that we kept and rented out, and Breandan had ideas about buying vacation and rental houses on the coast. Then we'd have them available to us too.
I wanted a smile, to see his face crinkle.
Breandan wasn't talkative today. Maybe he was working on a new real estate deal and running numbers. That usually took up his attention.
We passed a family on the sidewalk, the mom and dad herding the two children toward the crosswalk button. The little girl wore a yellow raincoat, and her even smaller brother toddled along in an oversized winter coat. The dad had a baby carrier strapped to his front with a baby that was too little to see.
"That family's so cute," I murmured, sneaking a look his way to see if he noticed them, and if he smiled. We had agreed we didn't want our own children, way back when we first got serious. He couldn't have children, actually. I pushed past that thought as I looked back at the family.
Breandan looked their way and gave a light chuckle. The mom was catching the boy as he started for the road with a tiny finger pointed straight ahead at something very intriguing.
"And very busy, by the looks of it." Breandan turned right onto Ether Street and asked, "Did you get that new client?" He glanced at the dash between us and pushed the button to turn on my seat warmer, something he usually did when I got in his vehicle.
Warmth tingled through me but it was short lived. Did he know which client? It was a pretty safe question given I take on new marketing clients often. This client would be big—Gary Fulton was a local author that had hit some sudden success. If we brought him on and took his sales to the next level, I'd have real numbers to show other authors. It could be a huge market for me.
I owned a growing marketing company, something that used to make me excited to get up in the morning. That excitement had withered in the last year, something I hadn't fully acknowledged until recently. At first, I wrote it off to mourning my mom, but things still weren't getting better.
He followed the question up with a glance, longer than usual. It's hard not to stare at those crystal blue eyes of his, even after all our time together, and even when they don't look all that excited about me.
"Fulton sounds excited to work with me, but he wanted the night to think about it. He might be afraid of all this sudden success," I explained, and went on about how the client's books were selling way better than he thought they would. I knew I could take him to the next level, if I could get him on board.
I couldn't tell if Breandan was listening so I stopped talking. He looked over again, an eyebrow raised. Suddenly I lacked the motivation to tell him more, and just then the song on the radio ended and the DJ announced an accident on the Beltline expressway.
Breandan listened since we were headed that way, but he drove past the onramp to take another route. We drove down the highway for three miles with a voice murmuring from the radio.
As we neared Cici and Derek's house, Breandan turned the radio down and asked, "Have you talked to Cici lately? Seems like you don't talk to her all that much anymore."
I sighed, ashamed to answer, "No, not too recently." Cici and I were roommates in college and best friends ever since. In my mind, we still were, but I needed to update that label. We had drifted apart over the last year as she and Derek started talking more and more about starting a family. It hurt to think about it.
I tried to recall the last time I'd spoken to either of them but couldn't. Breandan has a remarkable memory for dates and information. We were coming up on their house. It sat on the corner in a newer neighborhood of salmon, off white, and tan colored houses. Their peach house had a white porch railing with blooming rhododendron bushes nestled around it, making it look like a perfect Thomas Kincaid painting.
Our modern but Victorian style home had been painted a very loud and bold purple when we bought it. I toned it down to lavender with white accents. When we were house hunting, we'd been looking for something unique, and I fell in love with the house on sight.
We parked in their driveway since their vehicles were both inside the garage.
"Why do you ask?" I got out and waited on my side.
He hesitated while glancing toward the door. Then he shrugged.
"Just curious," he said over the top of the car. Did he think Derek and Cici had a reason for inviting us over?
Now, not only did I feel guilty for letting my friendship with Cici slide, I also felt like I didn't know what was going on with her. I followed his lead and walked to the house, my mind reaching back to last spring to when my mother died. I'd come to call it "the before" since that's when things changed for me.
This wasn't related. Sometimes I over-think things, like some little comment Breandan made, or I project my life onto others and end up at weird conclusions. I was starting to think I'm not the most mentally healthy person.
We weren't to the front door yet when it swung open.
"Hey there!" Derek flashed a wide smile, his teeth looking extra white against his tan skin. Working in the woods gave him an advantage there. It also made his thick, blond hair curly and windswept. He wore a brown shirt that looked soft to the touch with tan cargo pants, which he seemed to live in. I suspected he had twenty pairs.
"Derek!" I stepped into his open arms for a quick hug. He smelled like soap from the shower layered over a woodsy aroma which I didn't mind. Then he patted Breandan on the back as we stepped into the entryway, a quaint space with a padded bench, hooks for coats, and a large shelf. Derek had built it for Cici because she didn't like the front door opening into the living room.
We hung our coats and followed him into the living room, which looked different from what I remembered. It was a spacious and tidy space, painted in a soothing cream, and decorated with vases of silk flowers in soft colors except for the contrasting purple blooms. The starker color accented the room, bringing it together. Two large windows with mauve drapes gave the room a soft glow, but I couldn't remember if the drapes had been lighter before or not.
Then I realized, they had replaced the two darker green couches with a sofa, loveseat and recliner, all in a faded, soft green nestled around a low wooden coffee table. It had bowed legs, making me think of a table from Beauty and the Beast, like it might start walking.
A hallway to the right led off towards the bedrooms and office, and ahead of us the dining area sat next to the kitchen in an open layout.
Freshly baked bread scented the air, which made me think of a trick Breandan used for showing houses. When he had open house days, he'd bake store-bought cookie dough to make the house feel like a home.
"The steaks are on the grill already," Derek said. "You guys hungry?"
Before we could answer, Cici came down the hallway. "Breandan! Lily Ann!" She hugged us both. "I'm so glad you could come over. It's been too long."
"I know! We were just talking about you guys and wondering how you're doing," I said, noting how they were both extra beamy today. Apparently they were doing well. They shared a glowy-eyed look, and I started to turn toward Breandan but we both looked away from each other. He turned his attention to a rustic and misty farmhouse painting on the wall—I was sure it was Cici's work but one that I hadn't seen yet.
We're not close like that anymore. This wasn't a new realization but it was the first time I had let myself fully face it, and I knew Breandan was turning that fact over in his mind too.
"Hon, you better go check those!" Cici said suddenly, breaking what could have built up into an awkward moment. Derek immediately headed out the back slider with Breandan on his heels.
"Did you curl your hair? It looks really good like that." She tilting her head to admire it.
I ran a hand down my dark brown hair. "I got layers actually, and it's doing it on its own."
"Lucky! And you have such thick hair to start with."
I did have that going for me. It'd had gotten long too, even with getting the layers cut in a week ago. It was nice having my hair looked more styled without having to actually style it. I wasn't what you'd call a girly-girl who spent a lot of time on makeup, and Breandan had always seemed to like my more natural look anyway.
"You know everyone loves your shiny hair," I told her as we walked into the kitchen. She'd always disliked her cornsilk hair, saying it was flat. But it was so super soft and shiny, and looked really cute in the bob she always wore. Mine was coarse and loved to get flyaways.
She touched her hair with a shy smile. Cici doesn't know how adorable she can be.
"It smells delicious in here," I said, breathing in the warm, toasty bread aroma. It almost made me hungry.
"I've been sniffing the bread while it bakes, and now I'm starving! I can't believe how much I've been eating lately." She took down a glass from the wine rack and poured the Barbera red wine for me. "You still like this one?"
"Of course. Thanks."
We'd discovered it together on a tour of several local vineyards about three years before—that had been a fun day.
"I'm just going to throw the salad together and then I think dinner is ready." She looked like she wanted to say more, but Derek and Breandan were already coming back in, a platter of steaks in Derek's hands.
"Lily," Breandan said, tilting his head back toward the door, "that red velvet rose bush is in bloom."
"This early?" Last time we were here, Cici told me about it and I'd been wanting to see the roses for myself. I took my wine with me and walked out back. It was gorgeous. Half a dozen almost-black-red roses were in full bloom with several more in bud. I couldn't help myself from rubbing a few of the soft petals.
Before going back in, I gulped half my glass of wine. I couldn't pinpoint why tonight was hard, but I felt heavy, like I just wanted to go home. It was so strange. I used to love going out and seeing friends, staying up with a glass of wine and talking while the moon came up. This felt like a chore. I even felt sad about feeling sad over it, and the sadness seemed to chase itself like a dog after its tail.
With a sigh, I watched a flock of tiny black birds bounce through the budding branches of a medium sized pear, silhouetted by the baby blue sky that was starting to darken.
I couldn't stay out in the yard, however, and went back inside to find the table set and everyone sitting down.
"Maybe we should plant some roses," Breandan said to me. I nodded, smiling, while thinking that roses were a lot of work with pruning, deadheading, fertilizing… But he was trying to be sweet because he knows I love the feel of their soft petals.
While we ate, Cici asked me how Modern Marketing, my company, was doing and I caught her up on how I'd gotten an actual location instead of working with scattered freelancers.
"It was definitely worth it to rent a space. There are way more bills…" I paused to sip my wine, deciding to push those worries away for right now. "But there's this great energy from having people working together in the same room."
"Seems like it's kept you busy," Derek said, and while his tone was upbeat, I felt a pinch of guilt.
"I warned her," Breandan said with a chuckle. "But it's good to be busy to get things up and going." He knew about starting a business after he'd grown his own real estate office with Jerry. The conversation turned to that, and I didn't mind getting out of the spotlight.
With the attention off of me, I relaxed. I even decided as we started rich, chocolate cake for dessert, that tonight wasn't so bad. Derek and Cici laughed so much I started to laugh with them. The tired sadness I'd been living under lifted a bit.
Cici laid her hand on Derek's and made a little noise.
"We have a little announcement," Derek said, his eyes swinging over to his wife as he turned his hand over to hold hers. They share an intimate, loving, close look.
My stomach bottomed out—I felt an IV of burning jealousy dripping into my system. Had I somehow expected this?
I held steady, lifting my eyebrows in polite surprise, even trying for a half smile. The chocolate cake in my mouth turned overly sweet and thick. I reached for my wine. That didn't taste any better.
Cici had a glass of water by her plate. Somehow I had noticed that all evening without consciously seeing it.
Derek kept talking but my heartbeat covered his voice.
"Congratulations," Breandan said, happiness seeping through his voice.
Oh, dear God in heaven, there must be a way to make it through this, because I couldn't run out of the room like I wanted to. I pushed my face muscles in a smile and dug up the feeling of excitement, pretending I was another person in another life.
"When are you due?" I strained to get my voice up.
"August second!" She squeezed Derek's hand. I stared at their joined hands resting on the table. "We wanted to wait till we were twelve weeks along before sharing," she added, looking at her husband with a closeness that made another stab into me.
Wait, her due date at the very beginning of August was five months away. Less than that—like four and a half months. She was halfway through her pregnancy and she hadn't told me yet? Because she knew Breandan and I weren't going to have kids? Or because we weren't talking that much?
I snuck a glance at her stomach, realizing for the first time that her bohemian shirt was loose enough to hide a growing baby bump. Was she showing, and I'd missed that too? Images came to mind from What to Expect When You're Expecting—which I'd read at length—and made me realize how much I'd missed, how much she hadn't shared with me.
I held a plastic smile on my face and nodded along to their conversation.
I was sick for two weeks in the morning…Didn't realize… Derek surprised me with a test!
Can you believe she didn't suspect?
I about fell over, I mean it! I couldn't believe it! We weren't even trying yet. I mean, we were talking about it…
"That's great! Congrats again," Breandan said with a raise of his glass. "That's just terrific, and you both are glowing." He turned my way to share a look with me. I glanced at him and back at them, trying to not show him anything. I didn't want him to glimpse the molten lava churning up inside me. Maybe I could leave. Just walk to the bathroom. That wasn't running away.
I waited as long as I could before I slowly rose. "Excuse me. I'll be right back." I flashed a smile at them and got two blinding grins back. I thought I pulled it off.
But as I turned the corner away from the dining area, I clutched my stomach and stumbled down the hallway to the bathroom.
I shut the door, all the while pulling in a very long breath through my nose. That didn't stop the body shattering pain rising in me or stop my lungs from collapsing, ready to pull in air for a sob.
I won't let myself cry.
I will not cry.
Not here!
But the pain was unbearable and I couldn't stop. I grabbed a thick, plush purple towel off the rack and buried my face in it. My body fought me, my entire stomach straining with emotion, wanting to scream. I tried to hold back and it made me dizzy.
I slipped down onto the floor, huffing in the towel. Bottomless pain and desperation shook my entire body. My lungs strained, wanting to pull in a big breath for a scream. I pressed the towel as tightly as I could, muffling this awful sickness.
It didn't stop the loud, quick inhale of breath. And suddenly I remembered where I was…and knew someone was standing outside the door. It had to be Breandan.
"Lily?" The door cracked open. Why hadn't I locked it? "What on earth?"
He dropped down behind me while I wiped at my face.
"Are you crying?" His voice wasn't annoyed, just really surprised. Of course he'd be surprised.
I shook my head, still facing away, and felt his hand on my shoulder.
"Please, Lil, talk to me."
There wasn't any way to explain this away except the truth. It would hurt him. It would slice through him to know I wanted something he could never give me. I was still gasping but managed to get the words out in between. "I…want…a…baby."
His hand fell away. I still didn't look at him. A minute later, "What?"
We had agreed before we got married that we'd be that fun couple that traveled instead of having kids. He'd been clear that he couldn't have kids, and he didn't want them anyway. And I'd been okay with that, back in the Before.
"I want a baby. Breandan, I want a baby."
I could almost hear things clicking into place in his memory. How I had been pointing out babies and families. How I spent less and less time with Cici while they talked more and more about starting a family.
"Lily… I …. I just…" His hand came back up and rubbed my back.
I sniffed, blinking, as panic hit. Here we were sitting on their bathroom floor and I was a mess. "I just need a minute. I'll be fine. You should go visit. I don't want to make them worry."
He lingered while considering what to do, and then he rose. Before leaving, he squeezed my shoulder once more and shut the door behind him. Now he knew.

240Project is an Arts and Health Centre for the excluded, especially those with experience of homelessness.
At 240Project we believe that caring, personal attention and positive activity have a beneficial impact on people's lives. Studies have shown that caring and attention can have a physiological effect on the excluded, increasing self esteem and self-acceptance, morale, confidence and pro-sociality. The activities we have selected all have traditions of healing and long term health benefits. At 240Project we believe that taking part in a community that cares for each other, and where people take part in positive activity, can over time have a transformative effect on peoples' lives. The project's ethos is that every human being is uniquely valuable, and our aim is to gather the resources to bring latent potentials out into the open.
Project staff and volunteers support new members by looking into their immediate needs, discussing longer term goals and aspirations, then providing the support necessary to become a part of the 240Project community. We then encourage people to participate in a choice of Arts and Health Activities. Once a member has joined, we hope and expect them to take part in at least one arts and one health activity every week. Where members have mental health and addiction issues, these activities can gradually awaken new strengths, confidence and coping abilities. We have seen that involving members in these activities leads to improvements in quality-of-life, personal growth and can contribute significantly to healing.
Members discover new skills as they participate in our group activities: singing, painting, creating a mosaic, cooking or drama all provide important opportunities to enhance social skills and build confidence. Every day we see how these activities improve our members' life-skills, and physical and mental health, leading to long lasting change and self-acceptance.
The project is fortunate to be run by passionate and talented staff, volunteers and session workers. Together we create and run a series of dynamic and inspirational groups.
These include:
Acupuncture Treatments
Homeopathic Remedies
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Feel Good Group
Relaxation Group
Nutritional Supplements Group
Nutrition Group
Head and Neck Massage
Painting & Drawing for Exhibition

Word crown seems interesting in the field of dentistry and we may think about its purpose in our mouth. It is a dental restoration that blankets a tooth like a royal crown covers the head. Now another arises that what is the purpose of covering our teeth.A patient needs to undergo crown and bridgework this treatment when a large cavity is found in a tooth.Dentists utilize a dental cement to bond the crown on the tooth. Crowns give strength to the tooth. They also render a nice look so that we can feel confident about the appearance of our teeth.There are different materials available to make a crown.Nowadays, both crown and bridgework are common at different places including Houston, TX.If you need to undergo such procedures, don't hesitate to ask your dentist.
In the dental treatment, crown and bridgework are important techniques to treat the patients. Bridgework is a procedure in which a restoration named as bridge is utilized to overcome the problem of spaces when a tooth has been lost.This technique is widely used in several cities including Houston, TX.

Re: Does anyone recognise these?
They are the "arm rest" ends. They are fitted, well certainly on my squareback(RIP) just behind the doors by the back seat area. I've also got a couple floating around.

Re: Does anyone recognise these?
36.. means a Variant part, although there may be other applications for some parts e.g. rear wings which were first used on the Variant (different from Notchback ones) but also fit the Fastback. Because of the folding rear seat I would guess that these arm rest ends are unique to the Variant, although it's a long time since I had a Type 3 so I can't check.

text: The Ethnic Village in Kunming offered another unexpectedly professional and engaging performance. This was a theatrical depiction of all the ethnic "nations" that make up Yunnan province. It is illustrated with traditional costumes worn by young, beautiful musicians and dancers. They are not of the professional caliber as the Tang Dynasty Dancers, but close. I saw the show twice, photographing it twice from the front row. There were signs saying that photography was prohibited, but that prohibition was ignored by everyone (even in China digital cameras are everywhere). I am sure that will become enforced in the near future.

More on the Vibratory Concrete Screed
This vibratory power screed features an adjustable handle to easily fit the operator. In addition, the Shockwave has a wide V-shaped handle bar that provides extra leverage for better balance and easy lifting. This design helps the operator float the screed on top of the concrete, making it ideal for wet screeding. Vibration is evenly distributed across the entire blade surface, providing better consolidation of the concrete.
Benefits of MARSHALLTOWN Roller Screed
- Perfect for pervious concrete
- Two men can easily screed steep angled pours
- Quiet electric motor, great for indoor or outdoor use
- Up to 28 foot screed (24 foot and longer require second power unit)
- Less screed deflection on long form-to-form pours
- Removable end caps to easily switch tubing
- Forward, reverse and power trigger integrated in handle
More on the Concrete Roller Screed
This power roller screed is perfect for form-to-form screeding. The rigid tubes reduce sag, especially on wide pours. Screeding garage foundations or driveways is easy with tubes up to 28 feet long. Tube sizes as small as 4 feet are great for sidewalks too.

It was good to read that the Greater Morpeth Development Trust (GMTD) has secured nearly £800,000 of Lottery cash towards the costs of giving Morpeth Railway Station a new lease of life.
The money will go towards refurbishing the historic station buildings, as well as creating up to seven offices for small firms in what will be a unique business setting, adjacent to the track carrying mainline trains between London and Edinburgh.
The station work will create the sort of facilities modern rail travellers need at a time when, hopefully, more people can be encouraged to travel by train.
I am sure businesses eventually taking up space in this enterprising and innovative development will be able to make good use of their trackside address to catch the eye of customers and clients.
Two things particularly excite me about the station plans, which I have readily given my support to, including writing to the people at the National Lottery who make the funding decisions.
The first is that the future of one of the most historic buildings along the main East Coast Line — part of the great British railway network history — will be secured by the planned improvements.
The Grade II listed building, dating back to the mid-19th century, is badly in need of refurbishment. I have every confidence GMDT will be able to do that sympathetically in just the same way it successfully managed improvements to Morpeth Town Hall seven years ago, making the 300-year-old building a fit-for-purpose community asset, as well as preserving and conserving a jewel in Morpeth's heritage crown.
The station work, however, will also create the sort of facilities modern rail travellers need at a time when, hopefully, more people can be encouraged to travel by train.
Many already do commute in and out of Tyneside, as well as travelling further afield, and with the significant additions to the cross country train services stopping at the town, as well as the number of new homes being built locally, it would be reasonable to anticipate even more will do so.
It is not just official bodies saying that, however, because a recent survey indicated overwhelming public support for the station plans.
More work needs to be done by GMDT to put the final pieces of the station funding jigsaw in place, but it has expressed confidence that this can be done in time to allow work to start later this year in time for completion by late summer 2017. Again, I will be readily lending the trust whatever support I can to make sure this happens.
Coincidentally, the trust held its annual meeting around the time the National Lottery funding announcement was being made.
The trust was formed ten years ago to work on behalf of the town to improve Morpeth and its surrounding countryside for the benefit of local people by enhancing the environment, safeguarding its heritage and promoting the economic and social well-being of all those living, working and visiting the area.
The trust has successfully done that in a variety of ways, from preserving the fabric of the Town Hall to bringing the movies back, and much more. A look at the trust's annual report shows the variety and depth of its activities across so many spheres of community life in Morpeth.
With only a small full and part-time staff, the trust relies on the support of volunteers to organise and run events. Its directors also give up a significant amount of their time to help manage the different interest groups, which form the core of its work.
Crucially at a time when the public purse is being squeezed like never before, the trust has secured more than £7million to be invested into Morpeth and that figure will rise to about £9million by the time the station project is completed.
The trust has done that by successfully forging sound working relationships and partnerships with others, including Northumberland county and Morpeth town councils, the Morpeth Chamber of Trade and the Town Team, as well as with major funders such as the National Lottery.
Such partnerships will continue to be key to what the trust can achieve in the future for Morpeth and its ability to encourage others to buy into its vision for the future of the town.

Upcoming trade show to feature Metal Slug 6, Fist of the North Star, Under Defeat running on Sega hardware.
TOKYO--Sega today announced the lineup of arcade games it will be showing at the upcoming Amusement Machine Show, which will take place in Japan September 1-3. The company's focus this year seems to be third-party products running on Sega's arcade boards. The company will be exhibiting a number of such games at the show, including the new Fist of the North Star 2D fighting game from Arc System Works (developer of the Guilty Gear series) and Grev's new vertically scrolling shooter, Under Defeat. The Sega booth will also include SNK Playmore's Metal Slug 6, meaning that the series is being developed for the first time on a platform other than SNK's ancient MVS arcade platform.
While the attention will likely be drawn to the third-party offerings at Sega's booth, the company is planning to show some games it's developed itself, including Sega Golf Club Version 2006 Next Tours and Quest of D Version 2.
The annual Amusement Machine Show is a distributor-oriented event and is closed to the general public on days one and two. Day three is opened to the public, and entrance is free.
For more on Fist of the North Star, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Overlanding can be a blast, but not everyone likes sleeping in the back of a 60 series Toyota Land Cruiser, packed in like a sardine with dog, a cooler, a portable welder and just about anything else that can't be strapped or mounted to the exterior. For those with enough cash, there are far more sophisticated options. Sometimes you go big or you go home, or at least that seems to be the case with the new Earthroamer XV-HD, a rolling fortress that, from the outside, looks more suited to Siberian military campaigns than a weekend away off the trail.
The XV-HD is the latest product from Earthroamer, a company whose name sounds like a certain British luxury SUV maker's beefed-up brother. The company has been building vehicles since 1998, with more than 200 FordF-550 XV-LTS behemoths terrorizing your local RV park. The XV-HD steps things up, using a four-wheel-drive F-750 as the base platform. Power comes from Ford's tried and true 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel V8. Earthroamer doesn't mention which version it uses, but for 2017 the engine makes 440 horsepower and 925 pound-feet of torque.
Beyond that, nearly everything has been touched and upgraded. The XV-HD wears 46-inch Michelin XZL tires, packs rear air suspension with Fox shocks, hydraulic leveling, 30,000-pound front-mounted hydraulic Warn winch and a full LED light array from Baja Designs. The XV-HD is intended to survive independently for a while, so it also has 2,100 watts of solar capability, a 20,000-watt lithium-ion battery bank, a PTO-driven hydraulic generator, a 250-gallon water tank and a 115-gallon fuel tank.
Still, this isn't just about being rugged. Look inside and you'll find plenty of wood, leather and stainless steel. The XV-HD comes with a full kitchen, a full bathroom with a separate shower, a washer and dryer, heated floors and a Bose surround sound system. The photos don't show the sleeping cabin, but we imagine it's much more of the same.
Now, this isn't cheap. Not by a long shot. The Colorado-built machines cost a cool $1.5 million each and require a $375,000 deposit to reserve a spot. If you put an order in now, you should get it in time to take a long vacation after the 2018 midterm elections.

I don't really pay attention to this sort of shit because if I think too long and hard about it lazers shoot out of my eyes at everyone in the world. I become Cyclops before his infra-red ruby quartz Oakleys came online, AKA puberty. This is not an argument about hate lazers and where they come from. It is about this novice POS.
I own a Smiths shirt, it cost 30 bucks. This jackassery is 12 times as expensive and 4 billion times less great. SOLD OUT? The joke writes itself!

Innate Ranged Attack
Unlike melee attacks, ranged attacks have no 'go to' skill for special abilities to use. Innate Ranged Attack covers these types of skills. It is used by magical attacks, psionic powers, Chi bolts, and other abilities that would otherwise lack an attack skill.

Bunel, Emilio E. (1989) Synthetic and mechanistic studies of organoscandium compounds. Dimerization and branching of alkenes catalyzed by scandocene hydrides. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-05242007-075254
NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.
Mixed-ring scandocene alkyl and hydride derivatives of structure [...], [...], [...], and [...] were prepared [...]. Dimethylsilicon bridged scandocene alkyl and hydride derivatives [...], [...], [...], and [...] were also prepared. The activation energy for phosphine dissociation in [...] and [...] were measured. The crystal structures of [...] and [...] were determined.
The hydride derivatives, [...] and [...] catalyze the following carbon-carbon bond forming reactions: (1) The catalytic dimerization of [alpha]-olefins to head-to-tail dimers, (2) The catalytic cyclization of [alpha,omega]-diolefins to methylenecycloalkanes with ring sizes between 5 and 9 carbon atoms, (3) The catalytic formation of six-membered ring nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles by catalytic cyclization of bisallyl amines and bisallyl sulfides respectively and (4) The catalytic formation of the spiro hydrocarbons 2-methylene spiro[4.4] nonane and 2-methylene dispiro [184.108.40.206] tridecane by catalytic cyclization of 5-methylene-1,8-nonadiene and 5,8-dimethylene-1,11-dodecadiene.
[...] catalyzes the ring opening reaction of methylenecyclopropane to butadiene and methylenecyclobutane to 1,4-pentadiene. Labeling experiments show that intramolecular olefin insertion in [omega]-alkenyl scandium complexes and [beta]-alkyl elimination in cycloalkylmethyl scandium complexes is reversible when rings containing 3 or 4 carbon atoms are involved. The hydride derivative [...] also catalyzes the isomerization of 1,4-pentadiene to isoprene and 2-methyl-l,4-pentadiene to 2,3-dimethylbutadiene and the isomerization of 3-methyl-l,4-pentadiene to 1,5-hexadiene, which is then cyclized to methylenecyclopentane.

Balloon vine is a perennial, slightly woody climber with tendrils 2-5m or higher, often draping itself over trees. The stems are usually covered with bristly hairs. Bright green leaves are strongly serrated and sometimes hairy. White or yellow, fragrant flowers on compact heads appear from October to January. Membranous, inflated fruit capsules about 60mm long which are green turning brown
Bent grass is grey-green, rather fine-leaved perennials, forming tufts 30–90 cm, with long slender rhizomes; branching intravaginal. Leaf-sheath glabrous, brownish green or purplish. Ligule 0.7–2 mm, or up to 3 mm in culm leaves, taller than wide, somewhat tapered or rounded, minutely ciliate.
Birdeye Pearlwort is a perennial mat-forming plant with narrow leaves and tiny white flowers. It can become a troublesome weed when allowed to spread and establish in turf. This weed can populate most soil conditions very quickly by seed. Pearlwort is a good indicator of moist/wet conditions and is often mistaken for moss in lawns. Swards that are maintained at low mowing heights below 6mm (golf and bowling greens) are susceptible to invasion from this weed.
A perennial herb growing up to 1m high with spreading branches which are softly downy when young. It has light green, thin leaves which are oval in profile with smooth margins. White or greenish to rosy flowers appear from October to June and this plant produces bright red berries. The leaves, roots and fruit are poisonous.
A glabrous, perennial, tendril climber with cylindrical or slightly angular stems, growing to 5m or higher. The leaves are usually deeply five- to seven-lobed and with sickle-shaped stipules. The flowers are about 10cm diameter with 5 sepals and petals that are similar in appearance. Produces yellow or orange, ovoid berries which are reddish inside. This plant invades forest margins, bush clumps, roadsides and river banks.

A UK recruitment specialist rewards its 'best of best' performers each year with an incentive trip, designed to motivate and inspire. The challenge for us, as well as tailor making a 'money can't buy' overseas trip, was creating a bespoke trip to satisfy the clients' passion to make a difference in the destination and including a worthwhile CSR activity in the winner's programme.
Against other event agencies, we pitched and delivered a once in a lifetime incentive trip to South Africa.
To start with, guests were privately checked-in at Heathrow, with a welcome announcement from the captain on-board. On arrival in Cape Town, winners were taken for a champagne and canapé picnic reception on lion's head, with awesome views overlooking the city and Table Mountain.
Moving on, winners were checked into the exclusive Radisson Hotel, which sat right on the waterfront before enjoying the ultimate relaxing dinner overlooking Camps Bay.
The next morning on Red Nose Day we visited Alpine primary, an inner-city school where they helped build a 'Jungle Gym' playground. This involved everything from shoveling sand pits, erecting wooden structures and attaching tyre swings.
Afterward, winners handed out gifts including books and educational toys, with pencil cases from the client and First Event. A cheque for the school and awards for top pupils were then presented, followed by a BBQ with the children and teachers.
That evening, the group went for a relaxed dinner at Quay Four on the V&A Waterfront and then on to a club. The rest of the Cape Town incentive trip included a safari experience, with shark cage diving and hang gliding for the more adventurous. The trip ended with an exclusive dinner at Baia, where the group was met by Dixie style troupe, The Cape Minstrels, who provided a musical escort to dinner.

Kharabeesh is a collective network founded in 2008 by a small group of bloggers in Jordan. The idea behind the initiative was to create a channel for Arabic content in social Internet media. The focus was from the beginning on political content and the Internet to address critical issues that were impossible to publish in traditional media. The collective became widely known with their satirical cartoons mocking Arab dictators in the beginning of the Arab revolutions in early 2011.

Rugby at the College has a proud history. Historically, the sport has seen steady growth in both popularity and success. As a community game, rugby has the capacity to bring out many lifelong qualities in the young men of A.B. Paterson College, including determination, perseverance, dedication and loyalty.
The APS Competition comprises eight schools in total, and regular seasonal fixtures are played on both Thursday (Years 4 – 6) and Friday (Years 7 – 12). At the end of the regular season, a finals' day program is held to determine final placings. The coaches, who have differing levels of expertise, are all passionate about the game. We encourage parents, who have experience, to come forward and assist in areas of specialisation.
In addition to regular APS fixtures, the College often hosts schools from around the globe, who tour to the Gold Coast as part of their development. When we host these schools, it provides further opportunities for our players to continue to develop their game sense and skill set.
Not only do we welcome these touring parties, but we also encourage our own to branch out to commit to playing club rugby. As an Ed Rugby affiliated school of Australian Rugby, we are always actively promoting and engaging in opportunities for our students to enjoy the sport many consider the "Gentleman's Game."

We build optimism and resilience for kids impacted by cancer and their families. We live by our motto: laughter is the best medicine.
How we help
Camp Quality believes every Australian child impacted by cancer – be that their own diagnosis or the diagnosis of someone they love - should have every opportunity to thrive. We do this by providing innovative programs and services to develop life skills and strengthen the wellbeing of children aged 0 – 13 growing up with cancer, and their families.
We are there for children and their families from the first experience of cancer through every stage, from treatment to remission and in the case of bereavement - in hospital, at home, at school and away from it all. Our belief in the proven principles of positive psychology forms the foundations of everything we do. We believe laughter is the best medicine. Laughter and optimism are essential to help our kids and their families not only cope, but thrive.
Camp Quality is a registered, not-for-profit, children's cancer charity which has been operating in Australia since 1983. At Camp Quality, we rely heavily on the generosity of everyday Australians and corporate partners to keep our programs and services running. Our organisation does not currently receive any substantial financial support from the Australian Government nor any State or Territory Government, yet our services are provided completely free of charge, right across the country, to whoever needs them.
We are very proud that in 2017 we were named Australia's 5th most reputable charity, and 1st most reputable children's charity by Oglivy's Annual RepTrak Report (AMR). The ranking is the result of surveying 4,066 Australians and asking them questions about charities covering seven parameters: Services, Innovation, Workplace, Citizenship, Governance, Leadership and Cost Management.

George Clooney helped design ring
George Clooney helped design his fiancee's engagement ring.
People magazine has obtained a photo of the sparkler the Hollywood star gave to London lawyer Amal Alamuddin.
And it said that George helped design the ring, which features an ethically mined emerald-cut diamond and two tapered baguettes set in platinum.
George apparently opted for tradition when he proposed on April 22 - going down on bended knee.
The actor had visited Dubai in March to meet his wife-to-be's family, spending time on a yacht excursion with her siblings, People said.
"They found George very easy to get along with, cool," a relative of Amal's was quoted as saying. "They felt at ease with him immediately."
George's dad Nick has said he is "thrilled" that his son is marrying Amal.
"We have had an opportunity to interact with this wonderful young woman and these are two great people," he told Us Weekly.

Chalk paint know-how
It aint what you do (it's the way that you do it) – and that's what gets results: chalk paint workshops at The Emporium Somerset
You can try and upcycle a junk shop find by slapping on any old paint, any old how – or you could learn how to use the right paint properly and get some inspiration from an expert while you're at it. Unless you share my natural tendency to bodge, I reckon your best bet is to head over to Cato Cooper's chalk paint workshops at The Emporium Somerset in Wellington (you don't have even have to be super creative).
Cato works with and stocks a huge range of Autentico chalk paints, waxes and varnishes – I mean, just look at 'em (and there are more, out of shot). Chalk paint contains chalk (obvs), water, colour pigment and resins with no solvents or other additives, has great coverage and sticks really well to whatever you're painting, so no need for hours and hours of tedious prep (phew).
There are around 160 different paint colours but you don't have to guess what each colour will look like. As well as the little hand-painted clogs on the wall (Cato's Dutch), she's already prepared a big selection of little sample boards. Not all of them are pastel – that lemon yellow is popping!
After an introduction about the paint and colours, everyone gets stuck in painting stripes of colour onto larges piece of sanded pine (or a picture frame, if you prefer) using a selection of paints from the table.
Unlike some other brands of chalk paint, Autentico's not thick and gloopy, so it's really easy to use – just like regular paint.
No one wants to watch paint dry do they? So out with the hairdryer for a quick blow dry, so you can niftily get on with the next stage: learning how to achieve all the various finishes with cloths, brushes, fine sandpaper and by layering assorted coloured paints in different ways, under Cato's expert guidance.
It's not just a case of slapping a load of paint on and then sanding it off again to get the distressed effect – there's a secret to it (but I'm not going to share it with you here).
Waxes not only protect but can add depth or the illusion of age and might be white, bronze, copper, silver as well as clear, which you apply with special brushes or sponges. Cato's got lots of clever little tips up her apron sleeves about when and how to use different waxes and to how to experiment without making irreversible mistakes (eek).
You end up with a sample board showing all the different finishing techniques and effects, ready to inspire or use as a reference when it comes to painting your own furniture – or even as a little original artwork to hang on your wall.
There are Basic Introduction to Chalk Paint workshops with Cato at The Emporium Somerset on Thurs 18 Jan, Weds 31 Jan, Thurs 15 Feb, Mon 26 Feb and Weds 14 March. From 7.30–9.45pm. You'll get a 10% discount on all the paints after the workshops, too. Cost £40 per person.
The Emporium Somerset, Mantle Street, Wellington, Somerset TA21 8AR. Tel 01823 660076. theemporiumsomerset.co.uk

I would recommend this workshop. Cato takes you through the paints and techniques with useful tips. Lovely product and gorgeous colour range. I particularly liked the wax finishes and floor stains. Enjoyed the evening.

The silence rings in my ears.
Broken by the grinding of a gate latch,
There is the peculiar growl of a scooter;
Travelling down the brightly lit road.
But my ears ring.
The clanging of pipes.
The warren of homes with
The creaking and cracking of bones.
Nothing stops the ringing;
The midnight hour strikes,

Paris Jackson has been steadily making her way into the circle of Young Hollywood and her latest accomplishment just may be the thing to cement her status as Hollywood's new "It" girl, as she has landed her first Vogue cover.
For its July 2017 cover, renowned publication Vogue Australia chose Michael Jackson's oldest child, Paris Jackson, to grace the magazine's cover. This marks Jackson's inaugural Vogue debut, but she has been running in many high fashion circles lately, most recently attending the Met Ball back in May.
E! News reports that the cover was shot by legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier and includes an accompanying in-depth interview that was conducted entirely via text message at the teen's request.
Via E! News:
Paris Jackson landed her first 'Vogue' cover—and she did the entire interview via text message.
'Vogue Australia' dedicated its July cover (on newsstands June 26) to the 19-year-old Hollywood scion, and world-renowned photographer Patrick Demarchelier was in charge of Paris' pictorial.
Editor-in-chief Edwina McCann predicted the teen will become "the breakthrough name of 2017," and it was actually Paris who suggested a text conversation in lieu of doing a traditional print interview. While it was "something we have never before agreed to at 'Vogue,'" Edwina admitted, she realized that the medium "seemed appropriate for someone of her generation."
So, Paris agreed to text with 'Vogue Australia's' creative director at large, Alison Veness.
In the interview Jackson opens up about what her career focus is at the moment and what she hopes to accomplish as she enters the fashion world:
"I really want to leave a positive imprint in the fashion world, mostly regarding the media and the stereotypical beauty standard that is blasted all over every magazine you see, every article that pops up on your phone screen, every billboard you see while you're driving down the street," said Paris, who just booked a Calvin Klein campaign. "I already have many young girls looking up to me and I want to be something their parents are OK with them looking up to."

Almost no one behind the wheel is above the law these days, according to a new survey that shows 87% of drivers engaged in "risky behavior" behind the wheel in the last 30 days.
With all of the reports about texting while driving, eating during a commute and other distractions, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety report isn't all that surprising; however, it's not limited to distracted driving. It includes impaired or drowsy driving, speeding, running red lights and not wearing seat belts.
As is often the case, the cause of an auto accident – and subsequent injuries or deaths – is often avoidable if the driver focuses on the task at hand. (more…)
