Read Across America Celebrates Kick Off
Read Across America events are taking place across Virginia and the country this week.
At a special event at the Library of Congress on Wednesday, First Lady Michelle Obama, along with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel and a host of film, television and sports personalities, read their favorite Dr. Seuss books to nearly 300 Virginia, Maryland and District of Columbia elementary students. Check out more details here. The celebration marked Dr. Seuss' 107th birthday and kicked off NEA's national Read Across America campaign, which will engage an estimated 45 million educators, parents and students nationwide. VEA President Kitty Boitnott also participated in the Washington, D.C., event.
Boitnott, joined by VEA Vice President Meg Gruber, spent Friday morning reading to Richmond students at Woodville Elementary School. Richmond Education Association member Lola McDowell did a tremendous job organizing the event, which saw a parade of Richmond school officials, police officers and firefighters, elected officials, reading to eager students. (Check out the event photos here.)
On Tuesday, Renee Beverly, president of the Spotsylvania Education Association, helped to organize a Read Across celebration at the Fredericksburg Boys and Girls Club. The children made their own hats and ran special relay races, among other fun activities.
In Roanoke County, Oak Grove Elementary had a "puuuurrfect" Dr. Seuss Day thanks to the expert planning of librarian Mrs. Marcus. She dressed like Cat and the Hat and the library was decorated like a birthday party! The students' mouths watered in anticipation for the birthday cake that was served at lunch in honor of Dr. Seuss. As you walked around the school, you spotted children making red and white hats, writing stories about Differdos, and listening to Dr. Seuss stories. "Oh, the Places" our students went today as we celebrate this very special birthday.
Take action to boost K-12 funding and support better pay.

It seems like Yassi Pressman isn't getting enough credit for posing as a hug-seeking third wheel, which made the [Valentine's] day of a lot of heartbroken commuters. If only "Gusto Ko Lamang Sa Buhay" by the Itchyworms was playing in the background, then the whole social experiment would've been perfect:
Yassi is no stranger to falling between the cracks. Despite having stellar acting and dancing chops, the 22-year-old remains to be one of the country's more underrated celebrities. After being in the industry for more than a decade, one could say that becoming Coco Martin's wife on FPJ's Ang Probinsyano was her biggest break.
And on the heels of her on-screen split with Cardo Dalisay, Yassi has taken the lead role and—ironically—become the titular character in the upcoming romantic comedy Ang Pambansang Third Wheel. This time, she is paired with Sam Milby (Camp Sawi co-star), who plays a single dad to Sam Pinto's kid. Even on film, the universe conspires against her.
Give this woman her due. In our eyes, Yassi doesn't deserve to be a third wheel.
Ang Pambansang Third Wheel, directed by Ivan Payawal, has yet to announce a release date

Consumers and business will benefit from independent inquiry into banking system
Now that the major banks are too big to fail, an independent inquiry into Australia's banking system is the only way to ensure Australian consumers and businesses get the financial reward from competition and choice in the long-term writes our CEO Don Magin.
A major report by Deloitte Access Economics, released this week, has called on the Federal Government to commission an independent inquiry into Australia's financial system.
Not another inquiry I hear you cry. This inquiry will make a difference to the back pockets of Hunter people and businesses. Here's why.
The Competition in Banking Report written by Professor Ian Harper (who was a member of the Wallis Inquiry into the financial system in the 1990s) makes a strong case for the fact that, post the global financial crisis (GFC), competition is being eroded by the dominance of the major banks and new regulations to stabilise the financial system will favour them.
Having strong, well run, major banks is a good thing. The problem is that the pendulum has swung too far towards stability and too far away from competition. The major banks now have an unfair competitive advantage over other financial institutions which is weakening the competitiveness of Australia's banking system and ultimately hurting consumers and businesses.
The major banks swallowed up a number of competitors during the GFC. Bankwest and Aussie Home Loans are owned by the Commonwealth Bank. St George Bank, RAMS and Bank of Melbourne may trade under their own names and logos, but they are owned by Westpac. Banks share of new housing finance commitments has gone from 78 per cent in 2007 to around 90 per cent today. The major banks' share of total deposits has increased from 75 percent to 80 percent in the same period.
Parts of regional NSW and the Gold Coast are fortunate to have strong, well-managed, mutual (customer-owned) financial institutions who also survived the GFC in good shape, offering competition to the major banks. These building societies, credit unions and mutual banks offer consumers competitive rates, generally lower fees and superior service to the major banks.
If competition is here, what's the issue? The mutuals are offering competition for the benefit of local people with one hand tied behind their backs. They need a more level playing field to ensure the competition is sustainable.
For example, while The Greater's standard variable home loan rate is almost half a percent lower than the average of the major banks, it costs The Greater more than the banks to provide the loan. With stronger credit ratings, major banks enjoy access to a broader range of funding sources at cheaper rates, including the ability to borrow overseas.
Banks and other financial institutions are all subject to the same regulations but proposed new regulations will also favour the big banks. Under the new Basel lll arrangements all financial institutions will have to hold higher levels of liquidity. Organisations like The Greater will be able to meet new liquidity arrangements but, unlike the banks, it will not have the potentially cheaper option of borrowing directly from the Government. The regulations encourage banks to build retail deposits, such as savings accounts and term deposits. Mutuals rely extensively on these deposits to fund their lending. As the banks' retail deposits represent a lower proportion of their overall source of lending finance, they are able to sacrifice margin to push up rates on these deposits. A short-term win for some savers and investors but at the expense of competitive loans.
Because mutuals are customer owned organisations, not driven by shareholder demands for better returns and higher profits, they have been able to absorb these costs to continue to be competitive and continue to fund local community, sporting and charity organisations.
Deloitte Access Economics has shown that cheaper funding costs for major banks and more regulatory burden on smaller players has led to less competition. Without sensible review and action, this will lead to less choice and worse outcomes for consumers in the future.
The Government has introduced several welcome reforms to support the growth of a fifth pillar in the banking system to give consumers more choice and competition. The impact of these reforms has been minor. We need major reform of the Australian financial system which only an independent inquiry can achieve.
Australia hasn't reviewed its financial system since the Wallis Inquiry. Times have changed. It is time to have an in-depth inquiry to improve competition and get a better deal for consumers. Australia is fortunate have a strong and stable banking sector. This puts us in the perfect position to ensure the sector remains strong and competitive for the decades ahead. We must conduct this review now.
I encourage you to read the report and judge for yourself.
Note: Don is also chairman of ABACUS, the mutual banking sector industry association. ABACUS commissioned the report. A version of this blog appeared in today's Newcastle Herald as an opinion piece.
Meanwhile, a study commissioned by Bankmecu shows that consumers believe the top four banks unfairly dominate the sector with a combined market share of up to 90 per cent A majority of people covered by the study, 66 per cent, said there should be more competition to the big banks from smaller lenders.
Do you think that there is enough competition in banking? Share your thoughts below.

Genesis Bicycles
Genesis Bikes
We like Genesis Bikes. They have always been innovative. Part of the sportline stable of bike brands owned by Madison, Genesis has always been the creative child that has been left to get on with it. And what interesting bikes they make, steel framed pro racing bikes, Disk braked retro urban flyers and Fat tyred cross bikes. Genesis' philosophy is simple "bring to life the sorts of bikes we enjoy riding" As they have been given a free rein they can make some bikes that other manufacturers shy away from.
The Croix der fer has become one of the brands success stories. A rugged road bike that could be used as a winter trainer. The bike became popular with city riders as it could cope with the potholes and badly maintained roads British commuters know so well. However the bike began to get headlines when cycling explorers began to use them. Vin Cox became the Guinness World Record holder for "fastest circumnavigation by bicycle" in August 2010. And then in 2011 Pete Sissons and Paul Cosgrove circumnavigated the coastline of Iceland in 14 days.
In July 2012, Genesis formed the Madison Genesis under-23 road team. The team is set to develop UK talent. The team has become a great success under the tutorage of Roger Hammond. 2016 sees Mark Cavendish joining the team as a mentor and coach.

Island Hopping and Scuba DivingPublished: 09/3/13 4:01 AM in Asia, Travel.
By: Meredith Lambert Banogon
Another amazing first we were able to experience in the Philippines was scuba diving! Neither of us had ever scuba dived before, but it is something Sean does regularly on his travels around the world. So while Sean signed up for a full dive, Kevin and I signed up for a discovery dive with instructions.
Well the our dive was much more than that, we ended up at a depth of about 60ft and it was amazing! The water was very clear and there were fish everywhere. We had bread with us to feed the fish and boy did they swarm us. I had a very magical moment with a rather large bat fish and some bread.
The entire day was beautiful and while we weren't diving under the water, we were hanging out with Kevin's family on a boat. Between dives, we hopped between small islands and enjoyed more delicious food.
Check out the video below to see a snippets from our entire trip to The Philippines!

We're into Day Four of a heat wave here in Lake Placid. It's absolutely killing my running. Saturday I could barely eek out two miles at a slow 8:45 pace.
Sunday was the Madrid Canoe Regatta. As usual, Dr. Z and I had to be up at the crack of dawn. The howling winds made for a tough as hell race but we managed to come in second, beat by those machines in the other Wenonah. They have GOT to stop coming to the same races we do! LOL!
Yesterday I ran and managed to tie Fridays 5K tempo time at 24:43. I seem stuck there for the time being, but am happy considering the heat and humidity. I was at least lucky enough to get out there while it was overcast.
Karate was pretty low-key due to the heat. We mainly worked forms. I got a real good review of all three brown belt katas with Senseis Sixpack and OldSchool.
Today's run was a total damn washout. I made my 8:15 splits the first two miles, but then totally bonked out and had to runwalk the rest of the way back, making for a sucktastic time of 37:08. I hydrated well beforehand, but I think the heat got to me anyway. It was 85 and not only is the entire route in the sun, there was no wind to cool me off. What the hell. I'm so glad it's cooling off tomorrow.
In the meantime, the first Sundowner is tonight. Yay! Tomorrow is my rest day, so nothing there except Karate.

Muse Paintbar Review
Hello & Happy Wednesday!!
I don't know about you, but I love painting or anything that involves creativity such as cooking. (of course!) When we participate in activities that get our creative juices flowing, it's said to be therapeutic and paired with a glass of vino well, you have yourself the perfect therapy session lol.
I had the opportunity to check out the paint and sip and jumped at the chance as this is an actual studio that specializes in painting versus the pop up varieties that I've experienced.
Hands down, this was one of the best studios I've been to!
The studio had high ceilings, multiple private rooms that could be utilized for a birthday party or perhaps a girls night out. Most importantly, it had a fully functioning bar steps from the tables that offered an array of beer and wine, prosecco, and even small bites. While the prices for beer and wine are wonderful, the lines can get long at the bar in the beginning and during breaks, so I advise opting for a bottle of wine versus a glass to get the most out of your experience.
From the beginning of the night I felt that everything was more well organized than other paint nights as they had assigned seating to mitigate any confusion, paint trays filled and ready to go and multiple staff to direct you and help you get comfortable before the workshop. Although these seem like a given, I've had the complete opposite experience in New York City where you just pick a seat, fill your own trays etc.
More reasons why I love a concept that specializes in painting is that you're able to view a myriad of previous paintings in case you find one you truly love, you can pop back in for that workshop. Whereas pop ups you don't get that experience.
While this particular class ran about 2 1/2 hours I had no complaints, as they provided breaks to tweak your paintings, grab a beverage, or simply enjoy the experience with friends! In all my painting and wine experiences, we never got a break, and if so, it was brief and one time only.
I loved the idea of not being rushed and the instructor coming through to view everyones work. The only complaint I could foresee of customers is having a clear view of the instructor, but that's bound to happen wherever you sit and the instructor went very slow to show each brushstroke to every side of the room.
Lastly, the set up in Muse Paintbar allows you to sit or stand. Sometimes you need to take a step back to get a better perspective of the direction of you want to take your painting in and sitting the entire time prevents that. While I love to sit, I stood nearly the entire time and felt as though I got better results!
When wrapping up our paintings I decided to put ours both together to create a larger piece and although the instructor used obviously only a painting perspective from one side, it came out perfect!
If you're looking to get your wine and painting on, I can't recommend Muse Paintbar enough! They have 30+ of locations throughout the U.S.!
See the entire process above!

Things to know
This hike is about a 1-hour drive from Seydisfjordur. There is a small pullout on the side of the highway it's not that obvious to find, there is a little sign mentioning Stuoruro hike but it could be easy to miss. Check the google map start photo below.
This hike is a 15km back and forward or you can make it a loop that is around 18km. The last 2 km you will need to walk next to the highway to get back to your parking lot. We decided to do the 15km but if you go on the google map photo below you can get a link to my strava account where you can zoom in to see the trail that makes it a loop.
The trail is pretty obvious the whole time. We had some trouble at the end to finding the trail again because the weather changed really fast. It got super rainy and foggy and we were not able to see the trail.
Maps.Me GPS
App saved us! I strongly recommend downloading it on your phone so you can see all the trails and where you are on the trail, it doesn't use any of your data. You just need to download it when you have wifi.
The hike itself is not that exciting but I think it is definitely worth it when you get to the pond with the bolder. It is something pretty unique from all the other hike we did in Iceland.

You can get the free template HERE.
Here are a few reasons why this design works:
1. Proximity: The photos and papers are spatially connected to each other because of their proximity. The core of the layout is "fenced in" with the circle. This placements gives a unified look to the layout, and unity creates a feeling of wholeness.
2. Repetition: I repeated multiple colors in this layout using a variety of paper and textures. Be careful not to overuse repetition as it can get boring quickly!
3. Emphasis: Of the three photos, the middle photo most important one so I placed it in the middle and framed it. Emphasizing a photo encourages the reader's eye to "look here first!"

A woman serving in the Tula Airborne Division, positioned some 200 kilometers from Moscow, applies a lip stick as she stands on the turret of a tank, during field maneuvers 06 March 1995. Women's group all about the world marked this particular day to let all women know that they are critical, appreciated and deserve to be respected, no matter who they are, no matter whether they are working or not, their nationality, race or religion. But now that I do, I've got my fiancé preparing one thing unique, haha… one more great day to celebrate how awesome we all are! If you have hands of gold and a license for business, all you want is a good crew, the excellent place, and an unforgettable spa name.
International Women's Day , celebrated on March 8th, focuses on the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of females across the planet. Women's Day is an chance to meet, learn and get inspired by some of the most knowledgeable and talented females boaters in the region and beyond. Oprah Winfrey, a former queen of daytime Tv has established she can thrive without a talkshow. Contrary to common misconception, the short skirts and bold make up of the flapper did not rule the fashion of the day but had been an iconic and memorable look.
By all signifies, it is a day to celebrate with any of the woman gender that you knew, she can be your mother, sister, wife, daughter, niece, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandmother, teacher, god-mother, your girlfriend or your greatest pal. Our German comrades picked the day since of its historic value for the German proletariat. Eleanor Roosevelt quotes by no means disappoint and I enjoyed Rudyard Kipling as nicely, and Cher for a laugh. It was decided to hold the very first International Women's Day on the 19th of March, 1911.
This is a wonderful hub.. I see a lot of these poems and quotes going up for mothers day on people's facebook. Dresses in neutral colors with hemlines that just hits your knee are appropriate modern day fashion clothing types for the workplace. Two years later, in December 1977, the Common Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions. In this post, I have selected five effortless handmade Mother's Day gift ideas which are creative and simple to make gifts from recycle things.
An international system of advanced classes that can either be taken as stand alone or as part of an general IB program. Though the important objective of the day is for prayer, the day can also offer ladies with an chance to strengthen their ties with other Christian girls as they pray collectively. This quite exclusive logo was created by women of Ireland, and adopted as the international symbol for Globe Day of Prayer in 1982.

changes in sea surface temperature patterns over a year
reflect the warming and cooling trends known as seasonal
change. The changes are directly related to which latitudes
receive the most direct rays of the sun and the longest
periods of daylight. Can you think of other variables
that change with respect to latitude over the course of
a year?
Over longer periods of time, sea surface temperature
patterns also show shifts in longitude. Some years, a
large body of warm water moves from the western Pacific
Ocean eastward to the west coast of South America. This
shift in ocean circulation affects global atmospheric
conditions and can result in increased flooding, droughts,
and damaging hurricanes. This occurrence is known as El

sea surface temperatures along the equator between 150°
W and 180° W. The water temperature for each season
is categorized as strongly cooler than normal (C+), weakly
cooler (C-), neutral (N), weakly warmer (W-), or strongly
warmer (W+).

Whales and Dolphins have lived in PEACE on Earth for millions of years. They are integral to the biological balance of the planet, and they provide a golden model for intuitive intelligence, community and play. They are the most immense, intelligent and physically powerful creatures on the planet… yet they are also of the most gentle. Their peaceful ways and their willingness to connect with humanity despite the lack of mutual respect they often receive, is in many ways benevolent. We have much to learn from them.
In the last hundred years, humanity has reduced most whale populations to two percent of their original size. And we are now close to experiencing the first cetacean extinctions ever in human history. Despite a global moratorium against commercial whaling, over 30,000 whales have been killed in this way in the past 20 years, and over 20,000 dolphins are killed each year! This year, the magnificent (and endangered) Southern Hemisphere Humpback is also being targeted.
It is time to join together… To see and send out a NEW MESSAGE. As spoken pure and simply in a recent film interview with children, "We need them in our world."
New Earth Creations is a multi-medium creative collective, inspired by the fundamental mission to unify, empower and inspire positive change on planet Earth through creative expression and experience. A gathering of like-spirited individuals committed to uplifting humanity's consciousness regarding fundamental global issues, so that those issues can be approached with ACTION that stems from a higher state of BEING (as opposed to fighting fire with fire).
PEACE in the WATER is the first full-scale New Earth Creations initiative,
utilizing aspects of film, written/spoken word, music, visual/wearable art
and community event/experience - to foster a global campaign of
"pro"-actvism on behalf of our planet's vital waterways and the ancient life
forms within (with a particular focus on Cetaceans).
New Earth Creatins was founded in 2005 by writer / creator Chip Richards and visionary artist, Asheyana Richards -- on behalf of our planet's children and ALL who will be inheriting this beautiful Earth. The project is currently headquartered in Northern New South Wales, Australia, where the couple live with their 8-year-old son Joshua, and draws upon artistic creative endeavor from all around the world. Along with a steady stream of conscous creative initiatives, the NEC team is now activating the vision for the New Earth Sanctuary -- a sustainable, creative life retreat center and animal sanctuary.
In June of 2006, the Peace in the Water project was launched during the International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting, as a way of giving people around the world a focused opportunity to cultivate a higher vision and send out a different message for our oceans and it's inhabitants – one of appreciation, connection, preservation and PEACE.
After spending several months connecting in seemingly miraculous ways with whales and dolphins in the wild, while simultaneously exploring various traditional pathways of protest and activism, we came to the deep realization that the greatest thing we could do to help the Cetacean community (and in turn, the planet) ... is to BE MORE LIKE THEM. Whatever initiatives we undertake on their behalf must express their incredibly energies of peace, joy and connective, positive power. We realized that if we could learn to express the Delphic and Whale spirit in how we live, that would be a huge first step toward not only preserving the Cetaceans, but our own race as well. We too must learn to open hearts wherever we go, simply by being who we are.
We took this intention to the waters and asked, "How best can we serve?" The answer was simple and clear: "SEE US FREE. Fill your hearts and minds not with images of our destruction, but with visions of our sacred song lines and communal ways being honored and celebrated in the world. Invite us to be here with you. See us in communion with your own race as we all come into the full realization that we are ONE family under the sun."
So we sent a simple prayerful intention to a small email list, with the hope of unifying positive planetary energy on behalf of the Whales & Dolphins -- to bring people together to SEE and FEEL them FREE. Within hours we began receiving email responses from all around the world. After months of trying to move mountains the traditional way, one simple email seemed to swing wide open the doors of possibility. During the first 33-day "prayer window", people tuned in from all walks (from children to indigenous elders) and many amazing events transpired – TV ads were sponsored, songs written, films inspired and groups of people took time to come together and share positive energy toward something they believe in. Just that act of coming together was a tremendous gift in itself...
The project has grown organically since then, and this year we have launched this web space as a global gathering place for conscious initiatives and water / cetacean-based creative projects. So far, people from over 70 NATIONS have tuned in since we went live in June of 2008, among them many brilliant artists, thinkers and visionaries.
The annual 33-day PEACE IN THE WATER vigil is not a passive movement, but our way of aligning our intentions to inspire higher level action in the world. The months following each vigil is when those higher actions have a chance to ripple out through the PitW website and the greater global community.
In one sense this is about our Oceans and Cetaceans, but in another, this is all about humanity learning once again to step up and unify our voice … and SING THE SAME SONG.
In truth, our ocean kin are giving us a great gift – the opportunity to remember how powerful we are when we come together, in peace, for the greater good of all.
IT IS TIME. Let's start right now by bringing PEACE in the WATER.
In the Humpback whale family, it is the males who sing. Their song is deeply complex and poetic with verse and chorus, and much like human music, it constantly changes and evolves over time. Science has learned much about their song, but one unexplained fact remains… that even though the Humpback's song is constantly changing and the whales themselves are spread far and wide, at any given moment, ALL of the humpbacks of a given region - are all SINGING THE SAME SONG.
This is the essence of the Peace in the Water project.
Within virtually every culture in the planet, prayer is a doorway into the realms of the miracle. Scientific and metaphysical research alike attests to the very real power of unified, feeling based intention and prayer.
The aim of Peace in the Water is to combine the single most powerful creative tool available to humanity (OUR CONSCIOUSNESS) with the most powerful vessel and carrier of energy (WATER) to initiate a wave of positive change and awakening for our planet and ALL who reside on her. WE EACH HAVE POWER to make a difference and it starts right here in our own state of being.
Today, my 8 year-old son and I drew a giant picture in the sand of whales, dolphins and humans swimming together. This was our prayer. At roughly the same time, a Maori friend of ours in New Zealand sang her traditional "Karanga" welcome song to the whales as she walked along her beach. At roughly the same time another friend went surfing with dolphins and another sang a song of Peace in the Water in their living room…
Let us sing a new song together and light the path for a NEW EARTH - for the Whales, for the Planet and for all us.

Hi everyone!!
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my advent box in my last post...I was so proud of it and you were all so kind ~ I definitely have some of the very best followers and blogging buddies ever!!! I also wanted to say thank you for everyone who saw my Clarity samples on Barbara's shows over the weekend!! I think you all know my work so well by now, that some of you don't even have to hear my name, you just know them by sight and that really does mean so much to me!! :)
So, as my regular followers know that once the cards have been shown on C&C, that means I get to show them in all their glory here on the blog and I thought I'd start with my favourite of the bunch. As always, I hope you like it....
I absolutely loved working with this stamp and masking set, as I'm a huge fan of the work of Alphonse Mucha and as soon as I saw image of Sarah Bernhardt, I just knew what I wanted to create!!
The background of the card is created with Distress Inks and the Clarity Paris Skyline Mask. I then stamped the image onto a piece of card and handpainted it using Perfect Pearls which gave it the most gorgeous shimmery, soft effect to the piece. Once that was all dry and I was 110% happy, I stamped and coloured the roses around the edge and then blended the card with some Vintage Photo DI for a vintage look. Finally, I stamped the message, matted and layered it all and voilà....
So, that's the first of my samples for this month's Clarity shows...I hope you'll visit me throughout the week, to see what else I created and as always, I'm sorry for not getting round to saying hello to everyone...I'm still fighting this virus that I had and I'm still on a "so-slow" but I do intend to pop by, ASAP!! Thank you all for your patience and putting up with me!
I'll see you tomorrow with another share but until then...bye for now!

I recently spent a cosy weekend in Cornwall, which although is a popular spot during the summer, I think it's even better in the autumn and winter months, as it's less crowded and way cosier, with brisk beach walks, wind in your hair, oversized jumpers and mulled wine. Having spent the first evening at the hotel, I wanted to explore some of the surrounding beaches to get a feel for the beachy culture and a taste of the Cornish sea.
We were recommended to walk along Watergate Bay, the region's top surf beach, and have dinner at The Beach Hut restaurant, which is parked right on the sand on the beach, with great sea (and surfer) views.
The restaurant had a friendly and relaxed vibe, and the diners were a mix of surfers, dog walkers, and wind-swept families. Small children were running around with crayons, dogs were shaking the sand from their fur, and people were wearing wellies and jumpers, and some were still in wetsuits. I felt a little over dressed in my dress and jewellery, so threw a big baggy jumper over the top and made myself at home!
The interiors are beachy-chic, a sort of Newquay-meets-California vibe, with big wicker armchairs and comfy cushions, duck egg walls, big wooden floor boards, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows so diners hear the sound of the sea and watch the waves and the surfers from the warmth of the restaurant.
There's even an indoor conservatory-style room which offers panoramic beach views whilst keeping you nice and toasty indoors.
We plonked down in the wicker armchairs and ordered a few 'bites and nibbles' to start with. It's worth mentioning that by the time we'd had a glass of wine and some nibbles (around 8 o'clock) and were ready to order, the children and surfers had left and the atmosphere became more romantic and intimate.
The executive chef Neil Haydock offers a real taste of the bay with an impressive seafood selection, but cooked up in unusual ways. After our ciabatta, olive oil & balsamic vinegar bites and some provence olives, we ordered Moules marinière and 'Popcorn squid' as starters.
The mussels arrived in a creamy white wine sauce with shallots and garlic, and came with fries, and the Popcorn squid calamari were lemony and spicy and crunchy, with a sriracha mayo dipping sauce.
The portions were generous, so we barely had room for main (or maybe it was the basket of warm bread we couldn't stop snacking from), but I happily ate my way through my grilled fish masala which arrived in a Sag aloo sauce with cucumber raita.
Although Jonathan's free range chicken burger looked great too, with avocado, bacon, fries, and a side of apple and poppy seed slaw, I was pretty satisfied with my choice as the flavours were fresh and aromatic, and didn't feel too heavy.
We definitely didn't have room for dessert, but instead cradled our bottle of wine and watched out over the stormy waves, feeling very cosy and content.

It's safe to say Justin Bieber is a hopeless romantic. He's, like, two seconds away from jumping on Oprah Winfrey's couch to declare his love for Selena Gomez. From the PDA-filled tropical vacations to the extravagant, over-the-top date nights, it's just getting to be a little much. What's the rush? Pump the brakes!
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad things are going so well for them -- but let's call a spade a spade: teenage romances, let alone famous teenage romances, never last. I apologize if I'm single-handedly breaking millions of hearts, but it's about time you know the truth. They'll be writing breakup songs about each other faster than you can say Justin & Britney.
That being said, I'm a little concerned for the Biebs. I know it's perfectly normal for Justin to dream about having a family someday, but it's a completely different story when I heard he could be dreaming about having a baby ... with his current teenage girlfriend.
And I was like, Baby? Baby? Baby? No!
In a recent interview with New!, Justin dished on his plans for the future:
I really would love to be a young dad, and even if I have my first kid at 25, that still gives me lots of time to concentrate on my career. Selena loves kids, she is really great with them.
Hmmm, I don't remember the interviewer asking how Selena was with kids, but maybe he's just throwing that in there for good measure? Very interesting ...
When asked if the power couple has plans to move in together, Justin confirmed that wouldn't happen since he's always on the go:
It's pretty much hotel rooms for me for most of the year.
Oh, boy. I hate to point out the obvious, but if he's got babies on the brain and an endless supply of hotel rooms ... do I really have to paint this picture any further?
I just hope he's careful and doesn't make any mistakes that can change the rest of his life. Young love can be misleading. It may seem like you have the perfect relationship because you don't have any real life problems yet. It's easy to get caught up in that and Justin is clearly already in too deep.
Another one bites the dust ...
Do you think Justin and Selena need to slow down their relationship?

Marked Tree students compete for scholarships
Five students from Marked Tree High School recently participated in WREG's channel 3 Knowledge Bowl, that will air on the morning of Dec. 8. The students competed for prizes including a $200 savings bonds and University of Memphis Scholarships.
Knowledge Bowl is similar to Quiz Bowl, which is practiced in a majority of schools. In a Jeopardy-like setting, two teams with four players each answer scholarly questions. They receive points for each correct question; however, unlike Quiz Bowl, Knowledge Bowl participants have points deducted for each wrong answer they provide.
The Knowledge Bowl competition is played in three parts. The first two segments are each seven minutes focused on 10-point toss-up questions. The third segment is based on current events.
Unfortunately, the third round of the competition threw the Marked Tree competitors off their game. It was based on the current events of Memphis, while they studied the current events of America.
Coach John Kelly, Gifted and Talented Coordinator for the Marked Tree School District, said that his team met three days a week after school to prepare for the Knowledge Bowl competition. At each meeting, the team reviewed 178,000 questions from the Knowledge Master program library. These were computer based question sets that were purchased with funds from the Marked Tree G.T. program.
"The students learn friendly competition through humility and persistence, patience, and dignity through this sometimes humbling experience," said Kelly.
The team was selected by Channel 3 based on its early registration. Kelly said that he received an email during the summer from Channel 3 News stating that the first 30 or so teams to reply, would be chosen for the competition. Kelly said that he chose capable volunteers to make up the team and start practicing. He believes that Marked Tree was the only school from Arkansas to compete in the Memphis Knowledge Bowl.
Abby Beck, co-captain of the team, said that she was proud of the way the team presented themselves. She said that the team worked and communicated well together. "I really think us competing in this says something about our school, and how far we've come," said Beck. Beck is a senior, but she looks forward to watching the rest of her teammates compete again next year.
Kelly said that this experience has taught him that organization pays off. "Holly Ford at Channel 3 presented the participants with all the necessary information so the coaches could prepare the students for the competition," said Kelly. "Each one of the students knew their schedules well enough that we could work with their busy schedules."
He was very proud of his team, and looks forward to doing it again. The same students will be participating in the Arkansas Governor School Quiz Bowl competition.

Message: Enough Is Enough
July 27, 2014 | Dr. Case Thorp | Matthew 6:11; Proverbs 30:7-9
The prayer now shifts to praying for our provision, and it presents some challenges when we think about "daily bread." Is that spiritual, physical, both? And how much is enough? What do we actually need and how do we know how to pray for it?

News Corp. to Pay Victim's Family $3.1M
One of the most shocking allegations of phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch's shuttered News of the World may be ending in a massive settlement. The family of Milly Dowler, the young murdered girl whose voicemail was hacked by reporters after she went missing, has been offered a settlement worth more than £2 million ($3.1 million), News Corp. confirmed Monday. Murdoch himself met with the Dowler clan in July, apologizing to them in person. World had previously made a six-figure settlement to actress Sienna Miller, among other payouts.

After last week's technical review, Jeff and I swapped projects with the grads group. That is, we took over on the grads' code, and they started working on ours. Both groups added three more commands to the existing codebase that they had just inherited.
This was an interesting experience taking over on an existing software project. Of course, there was some initial overhead getting familiar with the layout of the new project's code. This wasn't too onerous, though, since the overall structure was fairly logical.
Once Jeff and I started working, the work went smoothly. We had already completed one project together. I think Jeff and I communicated well, and each of us made some significant contributions. We agreed on all of the major design issues.
Still, for all of the harmony, I'd say that my most interesting learning experience this week was the old "pick your battles" experience. If you've ever shared a living space with someone as an adult--whether a college roommate or a romantic partner--you probably know what I mean. There's a period of adjustment to the person's habits and quirks. For example, maybe your new roommate already put the silverware in the left drawer when you feel that it is obviously more natural to have it in the right drawer. Or maybe your new lover seems to somehow constantly drop loose change; eventually stray coins lie scattered throughout the house.
For each new quirk you discover, you have to decide whether it bothers you or not. If it does, then you need to figure out if you're willing to just overlook it, constantly clean up after them, or make an issue of it. If you make an issue of every little thing, you can easily become an unpleasant nag. Depending on how it's done, cleaning up behind someone can come across as a passive-aggressive show of disapproval. But, if something really does bother you and you don't speak up, you can find that your living space is not really your own. That's what I mean by picking your battles.
First, Jeff and I had to come to terms with the existing code. As we settled in, we found we had to "move the silverware" in a few places to meet our tastes. In particular, we overhauled the look and behavior of the user interface. We left the reflection-based loading of classes in place, though.
Then there were the minor differences in working style that I noticed between me and Jeff. For the most part, these were so minor as to border on petty: "If I'd done it, I wouldn't have spaced the output that way" or "I usually write one class at a time rather than mock up all the classes and then fill in the details later."
A couple weeks ago, I mentioned the motivating aspect of working in a group. My point this week is that, whenever you work with someone else, they are not going to do things exactly the same way you do. That is to be expected. But, even when you realize this consciously, each specific difference you discover can still cause a short pause: "Oh.. that's not how I would have done that... but that doesn't mean it's wrong... Am I going to accept how this has been done and move on, or do I want to say something and change it?" Overall, I discovered that I could just let these things go. It was just a new experience for me to adjust to someone else's presence in my coding project space, both in terms of the old code and the new.
Jeff and I got everything finished up before the deadline. I think our code is pretty solid, though some of our line-spacing might be a little off between different commands.
Testing code that connects to a server continued to be a pain. I considered making some sort of mock client object, but there proved to be too many methods that would need to be overridden to make it worthwhile.
I also found that, when verifying someone else's code, it's easier to run through a manual test rather than plod through all their JUnits and make sure it covers all the necessary cases. While I think it's good to get some manual testing in there occassionally--especially since that lets you spot things like typos and weird formatting that a JUnit test is not going to catch--I think this is still not quite ideal. Manual testing can find bugs that the person's JUnits missed. But, if the code is correct, manual testing won't reveal that an appropriate JUnit test is missing altogether. This means that changes to the code could cause an undetected failure later. So I guess I should work on using the person's JUnit tests as a loose guide to manual testing in order to spot missing/poor tests as well as any existing defects.
I'm still a fan of Issue-based Project Management. I'm also glad we kept our habit of having the other person mark completed tasks as Verified. It's an extra step, but it's a good feeling knowing that everything has been double-checked by someone else.
This is the last project for my software engineering course, so it may mean a blog hiatus for a while. But I should be back occasionally with news on other new software projects!

Memorial day flags today huh?!? Sounds like flags were a blast. I'm going to be honest, I definitely don't miss doing that whatsoever.
Last week were were really busy. Reuben and Amelio are working towards getting the priesthood and we had 2 baptisms. We baptized Sergio and Manuel. It was awesome. There mom came to church for the first time this week and stayed all 3 hours. She really liked it. The only problem is that there is a guy that lives with here so get won't be able to be baptized until she kicks him out. It may take some time but we will keep working on that. It was a great baptism though and both of the boys were really happy.
We achieved getting the permission of Rosami from her mom so she can also be baptized. It was amazing. She is a relative of some of the members ans she is just like the girls from Yaguarón. Her birthday is coming up on the 21st of June and her mom is going to surprise here by giving her permission to be baptized on her birthday. We are so excited for that, even though Elder Jensen will be heading to his last area the week before. Rosami comes to church every Sunday and is pretty much already a member but now it will be official. It is very cool and exciting. The member family loves us and told us that we need to go talk to more of their relatives. There is a Mom who has the same problem so we are going to go talk to her and make our famous brownies with her and see if we can make another miracle happen.
Glad you liked my pictures last week. I guess I am quite the photographer. haha
The weather here has been pretty ugly. We spend a lot of time running for cover to avoid getting soaked. haha The streets look like rivers when it rains here. My shoes have a nice wet smell to them.
I'm sure everyone at home is getting excited for summer. Glad Christian is out driving...it's about time. At this rate I'm going to be renewing mine before he even gets his license.
School here is the opposite of home. When it's summer in the states they are in school and when it's summer here you guys are all in school. Other than that it's almost the same. They impress me here. They learn 2 languages and at the private schools they learn 3 languages, Spanish, Guarni and English. They are pretty smart.
Stevo is good. He is just studying and being way to smart. Every time we go to his house for lunch we play chess while we wait for the food and he is just too good. He beats me in like 4 moves every time. I stink and he is just too good. He really likes us a lot. I always tell him he's going to serve in Utah on his mission. ;)
Speaking of Utah, did Ryan ever talk to the missionaries?
Sounds like the Spanish show mom is watching is pretty good. I don't know you watch it without understanding. I guess you could do what Stevo did and pick up another language by playing video games and watching movies. ;)
By the way...you never tell me anything about what is going on at home. I just barely found out from a member that there is a Frozen 2. How could you guys not tell me that. hahaha
Still looking into sending home the package. I'll let you know when I get it figured out.
Love you tons,
Elder Heugly
Our faithful new member ready to go out teaching with us.
Our soon to be newest member Rosami
The whole crew that helped out at the baptism
The baptism of Sergio and Manuel
Relax...Don't worry, it's just Guarna at some members house. :)

PORTSMOUTH — People let pennies do their talking for them Wednesday during the Seacoast Peace Response's annual War Tax Education Penny Poll held outside the downtown post office.
The fifth annual penny poll attracted taxpayers scurrying to mail their tax returns as well as those walking through the downtown during the daylong event, which was planned to call attention to what organizers have deemed the costs of a militarized federal budget.
With a large display board full of options for people to place pennies in, the group provided a number of categories they think the tax money should be spent on.
Some of those spending options included veterans benefits, environmental protection, housing, and health care. In last year's penny poll, health care received the most votes, with environmental protection coming in at a close second.
This year's penny poll revealed similar results.
Wes Flierl, a member of Seacoast Peace Response, said as of 1 p.m. education and child care seemed to be the number one priority for those who participated, followed by health care, energy independence and environmental protection.
"Generally every time we've done it education has been the top and health care has been the second, so even when the War in Iraq was viewed more favorable by the general public, it still came out education and health care," said Flierl.
Karolina Bodner, also a member of Seacoast Peace Response, said the reason she got involved is because she was concerned that people continue to feel powerless and are unaware of how their tax dollars are actually spent.
"It's an opportunity for people to have their say on this very important day," Bodner said.
One of those people was Brett Mulvey of Portsmouth, who said he decided to invest his pennies in education and child care, health care and agriculture.
Mulvey said part of his decision to invest his pennies into education is because he's currently working as a substitute teacher and is planning on going back to school to become a math teacher.
"As far as where the money should be spent I think that if we can have a generation that has appropriate health care and a proper education that it will just continue to make things progressively better," said Mulvey.

AllGood Artists ~
Mark Kelly - Vocals
In 2009 the self described Auckland death groove metal band set themselves some key goals as a band after promoting the release of their self-produced and financed debut album No Fear Of Consequences.
They wanted to sign to a record label, release a video, play an international support slot and play at the ionic PowerStation venue in Auckland...
Pretty much within a year we had achieved all of those goals, says front man Mark Kelly.... [Biography continued below] ...
[Bio continued ...]
The video came first. In January 2010 just before Baxendale rejoined Fractured Kelly directed and shot next a video for the single Switch. Trainor edited it...
The video was shot in our practise space over a day. The goal was to have a set up that we would all be comfortable with and something that was easily and cheaply done.
And a month later, they were invited to open for Trivium and Whitechapel, at, of all places, the PowerStation.
The show was with RW Entertainment and was the first international slot we had ever played. What made the show even more special was that it was at the PowerStation which is where all of the members had been to see international bands at one time or another. The set was short; only 20 minutes; but that still gave us enough time to get a good crowd going.
The next six months Fractured solidified their live reputation by touring with Just One Fix, Darklight Corporation, Legacy of Disorder and Tainted. The word soon spread along with the interest. They were invited to contribute a track to the Rising from the Rubble fundraising compilation to help victims of the two Christchurch earthquakes.
Fractured then officially signed off signed off on their wish list when Carl Win met TeMatera Smith of Triple A through business connections. He said, Im in a band. Smith said. I run a record label.
We had a couple of meetings and things moved pretty quickly to the stage where we signed with the label, Kelly says. It was a good fit for us.
The icing on the cake is the release of Fractureds first album for Triple A (to be announced soon).
Fractured have found their groove or to be more precise theyve found their groove mettle.
We are all big fans of early Machine Head and Pantera and they had a lot of groove in their material, Kelly says. The vocal part of what we do is infinitely heavier than any off that sort of stuff. Its more akin to your 90s sort of death metal stuff. I guess like most bands we dont want to be pigeon-holed. So we came up with groove metal as a way of describing out music.
Fractureds music though has a long evolutionary tail. If you were to video their career, back-track and pause the remote near the beginning of their tale, you be somewhere in Auckland in 2006 where two guitarists and a drummer Gareth Scott, Joe Baxendale and Nathan Trainor were plying their trade as part of a five-piece called Remote.
Marks vocal style and delivery were so different from what we had with our singer at the time, Gareth says. . He would phrase a song in such a unique way that you had to listen. Our initial reactions were that it was too heavy, too aggressive but as we listened to it more, the more we realised that this is what we wanted to pursue.
Remote became Fracture.
I came into the equation and we became a four piece, Kelly says. We wrote pretty much for a year. At that time we had Malcolm Blake, a drummer, come on board as a bassist. We all knew him through different circumstances.
He was with us for the best part of two years when we recorded a six-track promotional EP in 2008 entitled Bleeding the Horror Inside. Listening back on it now, it sounds like a really bad demo.
Fracture became Fractured not long after their first live gig at the now defunct Oblivion Bar in Auckland, the day before the Big Day Out in 2008. The year was a pivotal one for the group with increased opportunities to play live having to be balanced with the need to earn a living affecting the band dynamics.
Baxendale left in March 2009 and the following month Blake moved on but not before introducing Win to the band.
We met up and it clicked from there, Kelly says. We played as a four piece for a while and then Joe came back. He then left again for personal reasons and we replaced him with Dylan.
Fractureds new album (name here please) sees the debut of their latest member, drummer Karl Downey.
Wed all love to be doing this fulltime. Kelly says. It essentially boils down to a monetary thing. Three of us have children and partners, so, realistically wed have to be achieving a certain dollar value so that we could support our families.
Thats a future goal along with an international distribution deal and the opportunity to play overseas.
With the release of the new album, that might just be around the corner.
Things you never knew about Fractured

2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon With EcoBoost Unveiled
Once upon a time, America's highways were dominated by station wagons and minivans. These days, it is all about the "crossover", though if Ford has its way, minivans could stage a big comeback. Leading the way is the 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon, which when it goes on sale will come with an optional EcoBoost engine. Yup, the turbocharged minivan is back.Read more

The dish above (for 2) consists of a Bolognese sauce (made with 150g of beef mince and 150g of pork mince), Puy-type lentils, and arborio rice. I boiled the lentils (100g) for 10 minutes, then threw in the rice (175g) and allowed the pan to boil for a further 10 minutes. The idea was to leave the lentils and rice slightly undercooked.
I drained them, stirred them into the Bolognese in the casserole, and covered the mixture tightly with kitchen paper (to enhance the effect of the steam in the pot) before putting on the lid. I put the dish in a low oven - I won't give a setting, because my thermostat is not working properly - as we went out; we ate it when we arrived home, two hours later.

Shayler's "Son of God" Claim Swept Under the Rug
We talked about David Shayler's bizarre performance in Glastonbury, where he claimed to be the son of God. Well, as usual, the 9-11 "Truth" Movement is censoring speech it does not agree with. They will not release either MP3 or video versions of Shayler's crackpottery:
Our reasons for doing this are not to do with censorship, but rather out of respect to David and the causes he supports. It was clear to most of those present at the Symposium that, whatever the truth or otherwise of his claims, what was witnessed was the testimony of a man in deep personal trauma. We feel it is unfair that this performance should be shared widely at this time. It is also inevitable that David's current crisis will be used by outsiders to discredit the good work he has done thus far in political truth arenas, and we want to limit the extent of such damage.
Just a reminder! Son of God Shayler is prominently featured in Alex Jones' mockumentary Terrorstorm.

I switched on File Vault on my 2010 MacBook Air 11 nearly two weeks ago. So far I haven't noticed any reduction in performance. In fact, I haven't noticed anything at all. It just works, seamlessly. Ben Brooks agrees and he has done some tests on his own MacBook Air. Result: The Air actually performs better. Like me, though, he doesn't really notice any difference.
So pleased am I with the unobtrusiveness of the new File Vault, not to mention the enhanced security, that I am about to enable it on my Spring 2011 iMac 27. While a desk-bound iMac is less vulnerable to theft than a laptop, there is always the possibility of burglary. Since File Vault seems to have nil tradeoff, it's an easy decision to press the button.

IDS Group tackles fly-tipping with ANPR
Despite the efforts of local councils, London still has a very prominent fly-tipping issue. In 2015 the Evening Standard quoted: "London contains six of the UK's ten worst areas for fly-tipping". This is a problem that developers and residents alike have to deal with on a regular basis. As a result property owners have to foot the bill to clear the rubbish in order to maintain their image and the health and safety of their sites.
Solving this issue was high on MIS Properties' list when assessing the security requirements for their latest development, in North London, Southgate. Melis Charalambous, MIS Properties' Project Manager, explains the predicament: "For my newest residential project I wanted to offer a high level of security throughout the building. My main aim was to find a system to assist with block management and I also wanted to offer a desirable amenity to achieve higher rental figures.
"Prior to this project I had considered implementing security systems at previous developments but was never certain which systems to choose. I did not want to have to deal with complicated technical systems that I would not know how to operate."
Tas Kyriacou, Business Development Consultant IDS Group, describes the process to finding MIS Properties' ideal solution: "After completing a site survey, we decided to tackle the problem right at the entrance. We suggested an ANPR camera to control the gated access. With the camera in place only preregistered vehicles can now enter the development."
To work in tandem with the ANPR and increase the overall security of the site, IDS Group installed CCTV for complete surveillance. Furthermore, to increase the control of access to the office video entry phones were used outside the gate and at the office entrance, ensuring only people who have been vetted are able to enter the buildings. As part of the site's security upgrade the telephone system were improved by installing VoIP phones which integrate with the entry phones so telephone handsets can be used to let people in. VoIP lowers company's phone bills as it uses internet connections to make virtually free calls – saving the building some operational costs while increasing their security.
"The ANPR controlling the entrance gate has proved to be a very fluid solution, it has not hindered entrance or exit to the development but we have gained a significant level of security and eradicated our fly-tipping issue," confirms Melis Charalambous.

Around this time of year, I begin to think about how everyone celebrates the holidays. So I bring to you: the 10 personalities of Christmas.
2. Classy ChristmasYou refuse to use anything but white lights (your house is outlined in them) and beautiful reindeer light statues. You restrict all gift giving to the classiest "of the month" gifts (fruit, wine, and exotic meat). You think that most of Christmas is extremely tacky so you restrict your Christmas music to Bing Crosby and only let your kids watch Christmas movies made before 1950.
3. The Holiday HipsterYou wear ugly Christmas sweaters because you're that ironic. As a party favor, you bring fruit cake because it's gross but people always give it as a Christmas gift. Get it? Hilarious. You make sure to wear your new, thick (prescription free) glasses in the family Christmas card so everyone knows how "over this" you really are.
4. The Jew Who Loves ChristmasYour Mom goes to Christmas cookie parties with all of her Christian friends and your parents have a tree in the house. Why should being Jewish deprive you from celebrating the best holiday of the year? So maybe your religion doesn't "recognize" Christmas and it doesn't "line up" with your views but who even cares about that anyways? Christmas is really about Santa and mistletoe not the whole Jesus thing.
5. The Over-CelebratorYou start wearing a Santa hat in September. In terms of decorations, you're the "crazy" person on the block even if your street is known for decorations. There is at least one blow up snow man/Santa/reindeer in your yard and at least 1 Santa crashing into/going down your chimney. You change your voicemail to say "You've reached the Smith's. We're not Ho-ho-home right now but leave us a message after the To-to-tone!" Ah, it really is the most wonderful time of the year.
6. Lazy ChristmasYou throw a wreath on the door, some net lights on your bushes, and plug in the artificial tree that's been sitting in your basement. You know you're not fooling anyone with those net lights, but at least you tried. You holiday shop for 10 minutes before you have to break for coffee or frozen yogurt. You favor a small fake tree with a few ornaments because anything else is too much work. And who wants all of those loose pine needles everywhere? Gross.
7. Christmas as an Excuse to Get HammeredThe heading is pretty self explanatory. Right after Thanksgiving you throw on the old Santa hat and start pounding those Christmas ales. You don't know who invented Santa Con but you think we should be celebrating the birth of him/her instead of Jesus. 'Tis the season of giving and 8% alcohol.
8. Politically Correct ChristmasHappy Holiday Light Festival Everyone! No need for Christmas cookies, how about a politically correct Hannukah Kwanzaa cake?! You believe that Christmas/Hannukah should legally change their names to "Christmukkah" and are trying to figure out a way to add Kwanzaa to that word hybrid. You're probably Christian, but amidst your elaborate Poinsettia display and red bows you make sure there is a Menorah to show the world that you are all inclusive. This Menorah is usually a little sad looking and tilted to the left, but it's the thought that counts. You know more about Kwanzaa than you do about African American people but there's a Kwanzaa Menorah thing in your display none the less.
9. The Environmentalist You consider yourself to be green, but not just like cloth bags at Trader Joe's Green, actually environmentally conscious. You realize the insanity that we live in a world where you are judged if you use paper bags at the grocery store, but it's totally fine to wrap objects in over processed paper all for the sake of looking pretty. You wrap your gifts in old newspapers (the comics when you're feeling extra sassy!) so everyone knows how creative/ serious about the environment you are. You throw a party where everyone has to bring a ukulele for struggling youth musicians in Hawaii.
10. Buddy The ElfYou truly love everything about Christmas. You love giving and receiving gifts, togetherness, and cookies. You buy your family matching pajamas and force them to wear them. Looking through the Christmas cards that your family receives is the high point of the season and how you scout potential love interests for the new year. You bake 37 different types of Christmas cookies and each one is better than the last. Nothing about you is disingenuine, despite what those around you may think.
Since you're indefinable, you are probably a hybrid of a few of these personalities. Don't worry I know you're one of a kind.

All for one, and one for all! You gotta love those words. And don't they put you in the mood to read some swashbuckling adventure? I've taken Dumas' character, Athos, and given him the romance he never got in The Three Musketeers. Of course, I couldn't make it easy for him. This heroine has secrets, and they are deadly. And it's those wicked women that have always been Athos' greatest weakness.
Excerpt: THE UNFORGIVEN: ATHOS [the hero has pursued the heroine down a dark alleyway, and just when she thought she'd lost him…]
Emmanuelle gasped back the next word.
Turning on one boot, her pursuer placed himself in the passage entrance, crossed his arms, and tilted his head at an impudent angle. Wavy strands of black hair flickered over one shadowed blue eye. The curve of a smile briefly moved his mouth. Then he advanced on her.
Her heart in her throat, Emmanuelle stood her ground. She would stand and face the enemy, for to run would only prolong the inevitable. Besides, she excelled in close combat.
Wide, strong hands pressed her against the stone wall and secured her forearms up by her shoulders. She wore long gloves that covered her wrists from the cold. He pinned her legs with his thighs and pressed his hips against hers.
All this happened only because she allowed it.
"We have shared this dance before, musketeer." She hated saying the word.
Had she known before he wore the king's coat, she would have never allowed him to touch her. Her thoughts struggled between fleeing and surrendering. Because to taste his kiss one more time…
"And so now you are mine," he said in slow, mocking tone. "La Belle Dame sans Merci."
A single movement swept his breath across her chin, and his hard male body crushed against hers. Her senses heightened by the chase, she smelled rich, fruity wine on his tongue. Beneath that vibrant tang, he smelled of cypress powder—a man's scent combed into the hair—though, he was the least foppish of men.
She lifted her chin. "You believe me that illusory woman of legend?"
Drifting from his every pore the unmistakable scent of desire teased at her better judgment.
"I have a portrait sketched by a witness to your crime. I am sure you are familiar with the Marquis de Marle. He is dead. Along with the widow de Beaux."
The woman was dead? No. It was not possible!
"Where is this drawing? I know naught of what you speak. Do you always leap to accuse without first learning the facts?"
"I do not. But the portrait speaks loudly your guilt." His gaze glinted with fire. A cold, yet lusting fire.
Emmanuelle closed her eyes. Easier to concentrate when not looking into her captor's alluring eyes. But not much easier, for the hardness of his body was so apparent. And it was not mere muscle and bone she felt limning her curves. Though, the man was not at full alert. He did not give it concern. But she knew how to use his arousal. Futile male lust could be easily overtaken.
"I see. A condemning portrait. Hmm…" she offered. "So, you believe you have in your hands quite a catch. Tell me, do you always roust with your prey before arresting them?"
He raised a fist before her face, clasped as tight as his jaw. She did not flinch. Instead, she rejoiced in the ease it took to rile the musketeer.
"I've a lettre de cachet for your arrest."
"Arrest me or not. But you'll have a time proving a crime without evidence."
"I have a witness."
"And I have my innocence!"
She thrust a knee against his thigh and managed to push him away. Wisely, she remained a barnacle against the wall. If she fled now he would tail her closely. She could not return home knowing someone followed.
She needed either to convince him of her innocence—which, at the moment, even she was not sure of—or to take him out.
"Who the hell are you?" she asked.
He chuffed a brief, snorting laugh, so mocking it plundered her in the gut as if a quick fist.
"Not very observant, eh?" He stretched a hand up and down the tunic in an illustrative manner. The silver cross fleury boldly declared his alliance.
Curse her bloody insistent desires—she'd had sex with a musketeer!
"So you answer to the king." She lifted a shoulder. "That means nothing without proof of this supposed crime."
He reached inside his doublet and produced a piece of rolled velum. Snapping it open, he displayed it to her. She could easily discern the drawing, for moonlight gilded the shadows where they stood. Charcoal dashed in thick, curving lines to form a head and shoulders. Her face.
Of all the saints she had cursed in her lifetime, what was happening?

He is the law. And she is the outlaw…
Musketeer Arnaud de Sillègue d'Athos is ready to bid adieu to the King's Guard and to lay down his sword. Yet he's been charged with one final mission—to apprehend a dangerous enemy of the king, the Belle Dame Sans Merci. Despite his desire to apprehend a woman who causes such destruction, Athos refuses…until he sees a sketch of her. It's the same villainess with whom he had been locked in a passionate, sensual moment.
Emmanuelle Vazet never gives up control, even if briefly, in the arms of a blue-eyed stranger, she felt the need to give in and let desire take over. But now circumstances have placed her at the scene of a murder. Her reputation—and a ridiculous name— has preceded her, even if she is innocent. Now her nameless lover is the enemy. A royalist. A musketeer who could be her undoing…unless she becomes his undoing first.
