Coastal Uggs are authorised specialists of six different brands of both Australian and International ugg boots.
You can take advantage of our wide selection of styles and colours, with sizes ranging from babies through to Men's size 14 and even more importantly, we stock ugg boots made with genuine Australian sheepskin.
Q: Are these boots fake?
A: No. We do not sell synthetic uggs.
'Fake' ugg boots are the cheap sort, made with synthetic microfibre type fabric.
If you are asking whether we sell authentic UGG® the brand, then the answer is yes.
UGG® is one of six different brands which we keep in stock.
Q: I'm confused. I thought there was only one ugg boot. Which one's Australian?
A: Ugg boots is an Australian generic term for a twin-faced sheepskin style of boot.
Twin-faced means the suede is on the outside and the exposed wool is on the inside.
Iconic brand UGG® is footwear manufactured by American company, Deckers Outdoor Corporation.
UGG® have made ugg boots famous the world over. Their quality footwear is stitched in Vietnam and China, using premium sheepskin from Australia, New Zealand and Ireland.
UGG AUSTRALIA® is totally Australian.
Proudly 100% Australian, UGG AUSTRALIA® has been manufacturing Ugg Boots in Melbourne, Australia since 1981. They are the only sheepskin footwear manufacturer to have their own Australian tannery and their premium quality sheepskin products are 100% Australian, from start to finish.
EMU® Australia is a well known Australian company located in Geelong, Australia.
Their Platinum Range of premium quality Australian made sheepskin boots, are hand crafted in Australia using 100% A-Grade Australian sheepskin.
They also have a stylish range of fashion footwear, using 100% Australian skins which are stitched overseas.
Aussie Land Uggs by Artemis Fur is a local South Australian company.
Made right here in Adelaide, their ugg boots are handmade locally, using premium 100% Australian sheepskin.
Koalabi® Australia, is a subsidiary of Australian parent company, Jumbo Ugg Boots.
This family business is based in Melbourne and they have boots made in Australia and also in China, all using 100% Australian sheepskin.

What's more, when you buy from Coastal Uggs, you're helping a South Australian local small business owner put food on the table and employ other South Australian workers - and we all totally appreciate your support. ♥
Q: But, I bought Ugg Australia boots online. Why is the label different?
A: Web sites containing Ugg Australia logos are not necessarily genuine UGG® brand boots.
It can be confusing when choosing between UGG® the brand and 'Ugg' the style.
In Australia, there are many Ugg boot companies and also many similar sounding 'Ugg' brands on the market.
Many of them use the word 'UGG' either in their logo or in their marketing. It can all be very confusing.
At Coastal Uggs, we try to cater for all of our customer's needs, so that you have choices of label, style or price.
Q: Isn't making ugg boots cruel?
A: Sheepskin is a by-product of the meat industry.
Using skins to make ugg boots is a form of re-cycling....just like skins used by any other leather shoe, boot, jacket or furniture manufacturer.
Q: Which size should I order?
A: Please refer to our 'Finding Your Size' page for help on finding your best size, but as a general guide, ladies Aussie sizes are the same as US sizes, but men's Aussie sizes are one size smaller than US sizes.
Consider getting classic style and full sheepskin uggs and slippers, a half to one size smaller than usual, as it is completely normal for them to stretch with wear and start to feel looser.
Genuine sheepskin footwear should be a snug fit, but not uncomfortably tight.
The more structured styles, waterproof boots and leather footwear, tend to run more true to size.
Q: Can I change/cancel my order?
A: You may change your order whilst you are still browsing and shopping by clicking the 'continue shopping' links. To amend your order from the checkout, simply return to your shopping cart and revise your order.
Once your order has been confirmed however, it's not possible for you to change or cancel it prior to dispatch.

Q: Do you allow pick-up?

Water Safety
View all blog posts discussing Water Safety…
Did You Know?
- Swimming pools are the most common site for a drowning to occur for children ages 1 to 4.
- Eighty-nine percent of boating deaths of all ages occurred on boats where the operator had not received boating safety instructions.
- The majority of infant drowning deaths happen in bathtubs or large buckets.
- African-American kids ages 5 to 14 are almost three times more likely to drown than white children.
- The use of specially made drain covers, safety vacuum-release systems, multiple filter pumps and other pressure-venting pool filter mechanisms can reduce the risk of entrapment in pools.
Safe Kids also partners with local organizations and educators to teach water safety at home and in and around pools, spas and open bodies of water. Water safety program materials are free of charge and available for downloaded.
African-American kids ages 5 to 14 are almost three times more likely to drown than white children. Safe Kids is a partner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in annual pool safety programs, which focus on underserved communities. Our joint efforts concentrate on water safety in and around homes.
Kids Don't Float is another important Safe Kids program. It gives children and families the opportunity to borrow life jackets from loaner stations near lakes or marinas. These stations provide life jackets to those families who otherwise might not wear one while in or near open water. Life jackets can prevent drowning incidents among swimmers and non-swimmers. Water safety experts and educators emphasize the importance of using life jackets through outreach events and workshops.
We offer free or discounted swim lessons, CPR classes and life jackets through many local Safe Kids coalitions.
We also support the CPSC's Pool Safety Campaign by teaching families how to keep children safe around backyard pools and spas through community events and workshops.

- Taseko Talks
At Taseko, we understand the shared value that mining brings. Our employees, the people living within the communities in which we operate, the Provincial and Federal Governments, and finally the Company all benefit from mining. Taseko's investment in Gibraltar, as well as other potential projects, ensures this shared value continues.
Gibraltar Mine
Currently Taseko-Gibraltar employs approximately 650 employees. Roughly 95% of Gibraltar's wages are paid to those living in Williams Lake, Quesnel, and 100 Mile House, which equates to about $65 million in annual wages.
These high paying, local jobs provide long-term benefits to the local community, which include (but are not limited to):
Based on the last 12 months ending December 31st 2017, Gibraltar Mine spent over $281 million on supplier goods and services. Approximately 34% of these expenditures ($96 million) was purchased from suppliers and contractors in the BC Interior and Cariboo regions.
Some of Gibraltar's regular supplier purchases include: Grinding media from Kamloops, Foundry service based out of Penticton, radios and satellites from Kamloops, lime based products from Cache Creek, blasting software and products from Delta, automotive supplies, printing services, and office supplies from Williams Lake, haul truck tires from Kamloops and Vernon, and valves and pumps purchased from a number of vendors across British Columbia.
Florence Copper
Once in full operation, Florence Copper will employ approximately 170 people in a variety of positions from administration to operations. Similar to Gibraltar, hiring preference will be given to local residents.
Taseko's commitment to communities extends beyond payroll and supplies.
Combined, the list of donations to charitable and community support groups provided by the Gibraltar Mine, the Florence Copper Project and Taseko is over $1.5 million. Some of the sponsorship and donation programs include:
United Way Campaign
Taseko employees are generous. Since 2008, Taseko-Gibraltar employees, along with the Company, have donated $660,000 to the Annual United Way Campaign, an employee driven program focused on local need.
Joseph & Rosalie Segal Family Health Centre
In July 2013, Taseko made a three year $1.5 million commitment to help build a new Mental Health Facility at Vancouver General Hospital. It was the largest corporate contribution to mental health and helped in the drive to make the new Joseph & Rosalie Segal Family Health Centre a reality. The funding will aid VGH in building a new state-of-the-art facility, which will provide a therapeutic and healing environment for patients from across the province.
Florence Copper Scholarships Program
Since 2011, Florence Copper has awarded over $50,000 in scholarships to high school seniors from Florence High School and Poston Butte High School as part of its Creating Opportunities Scholarship Program.
The Florence Copper Community Foundation
The Florence Copper Community Foundation was created to provide resources to initiatives that will effectively address community needs. The Florence Copper Community Foundation is committed to making a valuable contribution to the Town of Florence and greater Pinal County through charitable donations, community project support, and sponsorships.
To date over $41,000 has been awarded through the Florence Copper Foundation, including recipients such as: Honoring/Hiring/Helping Our Heroes of Pinal County, the Florence Food Bank, Copper Basin YMCA and the Future Forward Foundation.

Drug testing has many myths associated with it. Weed enthusiasts will pretty much do anything to flush THC out of their system, with some ingesting dangerous substances in the hopes of passing the upcoming drug test. One popular option among weed smokers is drinking apple cider vinegar. While a natural and safer solution than others, we can't help but wonder if it works.
Does vinegar clean weed out of your system? Some vouch for it! We're going to discuss the science behind this claim as well as the risks involved with using this method.
Why Do People Consume Apple Cider Vinegar?
How did people even consider this an option? It seems crazy, right? Well, not really. Apple cider vinegar has been considered one of the secret ingredients to a healthy body since ancient times. It's great for cleansing the system, so many use it for detox. Since you're looking to get rid of THC from your body, detox seems like the right way to go about it. But is it powerful enough to get the job done?
Need A Legal and Reliable Way To Pass Your Drug Test?Following solutions are equally effective. Each is targeted at a different time frame.
Immediate Solution
Pass Your Test The Same DayFast Marijuana Detox Kit Begins working immediately and provides powerful natural herbal cleansing. One hour and you are ready to take your urine drug test.
Clean Forever
7 Days To Be Clean ForeverPremium 7 Day Detox Kit will naturally detox your body in 7 short days. Clean forever unless you reintroduce new toxins.
What Does Science Have to Say About This?
Apple cider vinegar is acidic, thus helping you change the pH of your urine. Acetic acid, the main ingredient in vinegar, has a pH of 4.3 while the pH of urine is generally between 6.5 and 7.25. Consequently, taking apple cider vinegar will make your urine more acidic and speed up the elimination of THC through the urine.
So, from a scientific point a view, there is some truth to this myth. However, we should also bear in mind that our diet consists of many different foods that can increase the pH of our urine, thus making apple cider vinegar less effective.
Furthermore, what works for some may not apply to everyone. Weight and age both have a say in how your body reacts to the acidic vinegar. Drinking vinegar may end up causing you diarrhea but do not affect whatsoever on the marijuana metabolites in your system.
How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar to Pass a Drug Test
If you still want to give this method a go, here's what you need to do. First off, you're in luck because you won't need too many ingredients. Simply mix apple cider vinegar with water until it's diluted enough to drink. Vinegar has an unpleasant taste and can be difficult to ingest. Dilute one tablespoon with at least 200 ml of water.
It's best to drink plenty of water and not rely solely on vinegar to cleanse your system of THC. Many weed smokers can confirm that drinking enough water is the trick to obtaining clear, THC-free urine.
Side Effects of Drinking too much Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a very healthy ingredient, but as with all things, it does come with its fair share of side effects. This is especially true if you ingest higher amounts than recommended. And – guess what – it's recommended we stick to no more than three tablespoons a day.
Since you're trying to get rid of any traces of weed out of your body, you will most likely be tempted to take more than you should, which brings us to some upsetting symptoms:
- Apple cider vinegar may delay the gastric emptying rate. This causes a worsening of the symptoms of gastroparesis, a common condition in people with type 1 diabetes. Consequently, if you are diabetic, you will have a hard time controlling your blood glucose levels by using this method.
- Throat irritation. Apple cider vinegar is acidic which is why it may cause throat irritation, especially if you use it for a prolonged period. Mixing it with plenty of water may reduce this risk.
- Nausea. This can occur due to its unpleasant taste, especially if taken undiluted, in large quantities. It may also decrease your appetite.
- Damages the enamel. Since we've already established how acidic vinegar is, this also means it can have a damaging effect on your teeth as well. Enamel erosion also means you'll be left more susceptible to cavities, so be aware of that too.
- Hypokalemia. Experiencing low potassium levels after drinking vinegar is extremely rare, but can happen. It mostly occurs when you ingest a very high dose.
Bottom Line
So, is apple cider vinegar the miracle way to get rid of THC from your body? While there is some scientific truth behind it, there's no real guarantee you will pass the drug test by using this method. Furthermore, is it worth the risk of damaging your health?
The safest bet is for weed smokers to stay away from weed before the test and there should be zero to none chances of failing it.

Contemporary Asian video art from the National Gallery of Victoria
3 April to 29 July 2018
Gallery 1 & 2
The National Gallery of Victoria and Latrobe Regional Gallery are proud to present Writing in the rain: contemporary Asian video art from the NGV.
Writing in the rain features nine works from the NGV Collection, exploring the past decade of contemporary Asian video. Featuring works by artists from Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, China, and Indonesia, Writing in the rain explores the cultural underpinnings specific to each artist.
This exhibition showcases a recent focus area of NGV collecting; strengthening the holdings of contemporary Asian art in recognition of the vibrancy of artistic practice in the region. The artworks in Writing in the rain reflect the diverse way video as a medium is used. The nine works in Writing in the rain will be displayed on both projectors and screens, with an accompanying sculpture installation.
The works in the exhibition address both past and future concerns, with Go Watanabe's work Emo responding to artificial intelligence and potential future impacts on our emotional lives: while FX Harsano combines video with traditional calligraphy to explore the past, and specifically the experience of Chinese immigrants to Indonesia in the 1970s. From dreamlike landscapes by Yang Yongliang to the humour of Wang Gongxin's The Dinner Table, the works employ the immersive strategies of video to draw viewers into the artists world.
The NGV is committed to sharing its collections with the people of Victoria, including the loan of works to regional galleries. The NGV is thrilled to be working with LRG to present these practices to regional audiences, and in the university context which sees students and scholars bringing new perspectives to the NGV Collection.

Welcome to another boot2root / CTF this one is called Teuchter. The VM is set to grab a DHCP lease on boot. As with my previous VMs, there is a theme, and you will need to snag the flag in order to complete the challenge. Less hochmagandy and more studying is needed for this one!
A word of warning: The VM has a small HDD so please set the disk to non persistent so you can always revert. You may need to set the MAC to 00:0C:29:65:D0:A0 too.
Hints for you:
- This VM is designed to be a bit of a joke/troll so a translator might be useful.
- The challenge isn't over with root. I've done my usual flag shenanigans.
- A bit of info security research and knowing your target helps here.

Many accountants are generally facing date problem in Tally. On the queries which I often get in my email account, I found following main date problems.
Tally is not feeding data on that date which is written by accountant.
Tally is not showing accountant reports on specific date.
What is difference between period and date in Tally?
Can data feed in Tally by ignoring date?
Now, I am solving date problem one by one. It is the general rule that transaction must be recorded when transaction are done and bill or voucher are taken by accountant. When the company is created, see financial year and base year. Is it correct? If it is previous or unrelated to the current period. First of all change it. Suppose, if you want to pass voucher entry of the period 1st April 2009 to 31st march 2010. Then financial period must start from first April 2009. It may also start before first April 2009. But, it never any other date because, it will effect on accounting vouchers.
After this when you pass the voucher entries. You must change date by click right side button of date. Here you will also see the button of period. Main difference of period and date button is that period is time limit in which date wise accounting entries are passed in Tally. If next financial period has started. Never change financial and base year in company creation but change period. Let me explain with an example.
Suppose, if the financial and base year is 1/4/2006 and current financial period is 1/4/2009. If you have written wrong period, date will not be written due to this mistake. If period is written 5th April 2009 to 31st march 2009. Then pass the voucher entry by writing 2/4/2009 in date pop up box. If you want to ignore date, just yes to skip date field in voucher entry configuration. If you want to feed entry regularly on date base then write no to skip date field in voucher entry configuration and accept.

The first clip has been released for Steven Knight's (Redemption) upcoming film, Locke. The real-time thriller stars Tom Hardy as Ivan Locke, "a man on the road to success who must race to save his life from unraveling after he receives a mysterious phone call." It sounds like a gripping, intense picture, but that doesn't really come across in this clip. It has nice cinematography, but the clip involves Locke asking to have an important discussion regarding concrete. There's a bit of intrigue on the other end of the line, but it's barely there. However, it's sometimes better to obfuscate, and I'll be eager to hear the word on the movie when it debuts at the Venice Film Festival on September 2nd.
Hit the jump to check out the clip along with a statement about the picture from Knight.
Via Bleeding Cool.
Here's a statement from Knight [Via Venice Film Festival]:
It was a joy and challenge to make Locke in an entirely different way. Shot in real time, Locke breaks new ground in movie making with Hardy holding the screen alone while the camera never blinks. The night time highway is part back drop, part art installation, as a stellar cast play the people Ivan loves and hates and who witness his extraordinary journey to despair and ultimately to redemption. A man's life transformed in a half a tank of gas. I believe the journey of Ivan Locke is deeply moving and utterly compulsive.
And here's the official synopsis:
Ivan Locke has worked hard to craft a good life for himself. Tonight, that life will collapse around him. On the eve of the biggest challenge of his career, Ivan receives a phone call that sets in motion a series of events that will unravel his family, job, and soul. Directed Locke is a unique cinematic experience that literally puts the audience in the passenger's seat to watch the driver's life unfold.

A strong second half and much better free throw shooting propelled California over LSU, sending the Bears to the round of eight for the first time in program history.
Layshia Clarendon scored 19 points to lead California to a 73-63 victory over LSU on Saturday night.
"We are in the Elite Eight, one game away from New Orleans," Clarendon said. "This is awesome."
In a ragged game in which neither team shot well, California made 26 of 41 free throws to stay ahead of LSU. That was significant because Cal missed eight of its last 11 free throws in its previous game against South Florida, and ended up needing overtime to win.
"We need to step up and hit our free throws," Clarendon said. "That's what we finally did."
Clarendon had just two points in the first half, when the teams were tied at 26. But she scored 17 in the second half as Cal outscored the Lady Tigers 47-37 for the win.
"We were us in the second half. We were Cal," coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "I'm so incredibly proud of this group."
Gennifer Brandon had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Brittany Boyd added 14 points for second-seeded Cal (31-3), which will play Georgia in the Spokane Regional final Monday night. Fourth-seeded Georgia beat top-seeded Stanford 61-59 in Saturday's opening semifinal.
Theresa Plaisance had 15 points and 12 rebounds for sixth-seeded LSU (22-12).
Adrienne Webb, who also scored 15 for LSU, said her team gave Cal too many chances at the free throw line in the second half.
"We were putting them on the line and they were knocking down free throws," Webb said.
Plaisance said the plan was to send Cal to the free throw line in hopes they would miss and LSU could get the rebound and score.
The Lady Tigers were in the game until a scoring drought late in the second half ended their chances. They were seeking their first berth in the round of eight since 2008.
After the score was tied at 26 at halftime, Cal opened the second half with an 8-2 run for a 34-28 lead.
"Our intensity might have slacked up a little bit," Webb said. "We came out a little flat."
But Webb, Shanece McKinney and Bianca Lutley scored consecutive baskets for LSU to tie the score at 34-34.
The teams traded the lead several times after that.
Mikayla Miles hit a 3-pointer to cap a 9-2 run that put Cal ahead 46-40.
Brandon sank two free throws and a field goal to help the Bears take a 54-45 advantage, their biggest lead to that point, with 7:44 left. Boyd's 3-pointer pushed Cal's lead to 58-46 with 5:20 left.
LSU, meanwhile, went more than five minutes without a field goal and fell behind 62-46. Webb broke LSU's field goal drought with 2:28 left in the game, but by then the Lady Tigers trailed 64-49.
Cal shot just 37.9 percent in the game, but made 50 percent of its shots in the second half. Cal had the edge in rebounding, 42-41.
The Lady Tigers shot 38.8 percent, and they committed 16 turnovers to 11 for Cal.
LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said her team missed too many easy shots. But she was proud of her team for overcoming adversity and clawing their way to the round of 16.
"These young ladies came together," Caldwell said. "They put LSU back on the map as a dominant program."
Neither team shot well in a low-scoring first half.
California took a 9-4 lead before LSU went on an 8-2 run to go up 18-16. The teams traded baskets after that and two free throws by Cal's Brandon tied the score 26-all at halftime.
LSU shot 40 percent in the first half, and was led by Plaisance's eight points. McKinney, a 6-foot-4 forward, had five blocks in the first half for the Lady Tigers. Cal shot just 29 percent in the half, and Clarendon was held to just two points.
"I really talked to them at the half about not being frustrated," Gottlieb said. "They try to disrupt you and make you uncomfortable."
LSU and Cal were playing for the first time since their sole previous meeting in 1981.
Cal's 31 wins extended the team record set this season. Cal tied Stanford for the Pac-12 regular-season title, and lost to UCLA in the conference tournament.
Clarendon credited Gottlieb with keeping the players pointed in the direction that has led to the round of eight.
"As a player, you just kind of try to play day by day and practice and you're in the tournament and you just try to stay really focused on every game," Clarendon said. "I think Lindsay, of all people, knew we were capable of this."

Ancient Architecture
Art is in our lives an important place. Since ancient times, people did all kinds of crafts, worked wonders with his hands, poured his soul into their products.
Different styles of art endured in our day. We use them in our interior designs, we decorate their room, we do arts and crafts to satisfy their inner desires and feelings.

The legacy of ancient Greek architecture is the basis for all further development of world architecture and related monumental art. The reasons for this sustained impact of Greek architecture lie in its objective qualities: simplicity, truthfulness, clarity of the compositions, the harmoniousness and proportionality of total and forms of all parts, in plasticity organic connection of architecture and sculpture, in close unity of the architectural and aesthetic and structural-tectonic elements sooruzheniy. Ancient Greek architecture featured a full line of forms and their design bases, were a whole. Basic design — stone blocks of which the walls were laid. Continue reading

Real Quilts. That's what I'm featuring in today's blog and my Sewing With Nancy program. You may ask, Aren't all quilts real? Of course they are, yet the term real quilts may conjure up an image of 1930s or 1940s style quilts pieced together in small-scale pastel fabrics. You can watch the featured show online at nancyzieman.com. There you'll be introduced to my guest Darlene Zimmerman, who shares traditional quilt block patterns with a fresh approach. Large or small, you can use Darlene's techniques to create your own real quilts!
Darlene entitled her newest book, Fresh from the Clothesline Quilts, since she sees these techniques as fresh, just like laundry dried in the spring air.
During this second program of the 2-part series, you'll learn an updated approach to the time-honored Trip Around the World and the Double Wedding Ring Quilt techniques. You'll be surprised how easy it is to make a Double Wedding Ring design.
Plus, you'll be inspired to make a quick quilt project—a placemat—using the Spider Web technique.
Here's a preview of Spider Web Placemats
- Stitch fabric strips together to create a strata.
- Cut eight wedges using the Simpli-EZ 45-Degree Triangle.
- Arrange the triangles in a circle.
- Cut corner triangles, again using the Simpli-EZ 45-Degree Triangle; place triangles in the corners.
- Seam the corner triangles to the wedges; then stitch all seams. Easy, isn't it?
Spider Web Quilt Design Options
- Use only two colors of fabric—it's a pinwheel.
- Select three or four colors; the change is dramatic!
You'll find easy instructions in Fresh from the Clothesline Quilts book and DVD that accompany this program.

Sleep?? Is that something moms really get to do from pregnancy on, ever again??? Well, it may not be like that single life sleep anymore, but there's hope! The DockATot has been the key to helping us achieve better sleep in our house.
When my son hit the 4 month sleep regression (which NO ONE had told me about) I was desperate to try anything. I tried every swaddle, sleep suit and every book in between. I had a friend who mentioned trying the DockATot and to her I still owe so much.
When Ranger only wanted to be held to sleep at night, I knew this wasn't something he should get used to, but I also understood that it was the closest thing to the womb that he recognized and wanted to feel safe. When we put him in the DockATot it seemed to emulate the same feeling and he was able to sleep. It made him feel warm, snug and without any straps or bells and whistles that can distract baby when sleeping.
I'm so thankful to already have one of these glorious helpers for baby number two to start off with right away! It could make a world of difference the second time around… sooner.
Whats so great, is that it has many benefits. It's not just great for sleep, but it's great for transitioning to the crib (or the Deluxe to a toddler bed), tummytime, playing and is easily transported to wherever you're traveling.
It also comes in 2 sizes. The Deluxe is for your newborn and infant(0-8 months) and the Grand is for your toddler and older (9mo +).
Here's how to determine what size is best for you according to their website:
The DockATot™ Deluxe is intended for babies approximately 5lbs-22lbs. The DockATot™ Grand is intended for tots approximately 22lbs-40lbs. Our experience is that parents seem to think the baby has outgrown the Deluxe size way before baby is uncomfortable. The design includes clasps that lengthen the legs of the DockATot™ Deluxe, so babies can get longer use out of it. The clip at the foot end, specifically on the Grand, is intended to be used for easy portability and storing and must remain unbuckled during use. The DockATot™is supposed to be snug. There are many users that tell us that they have used the Deluxe size up until 10-12 months. This creates a feeling of snugness, which is very comforting for the child. It's as if the child is being held in a sense.
A few tips:
- Buy an extra cover so that when you have to wash one, you'll have one to put on the DockATot and it won't miss any naps! Shop Deluxe here and Grand here
- Use a sound machine on "white noise" to help buffer any outside noises and to help your baby better acclimate to any unfamiliar sleep places
- If your baby (like mine) likes the swaddle, use it in the DockATot until they are ready to go swaddle free.
- If you're quite the traveler buy the travel case for it here
Please share your DockATot stories below! Or any other sleep tips you may have! Moms have to help moms (and dads)!!!!
My son is 6 months old and we are desperate for sleep. I ordered a DockATot and am expecting it in the mail. I was reluctant at first because they are pricy… I am praying and hoping for great results. Like you, I don't want to make holding him at night a habit!
Thank you for this post!
Hi Kacie! Just curious if you moved your son up to the grande… my daughter currently sleeps in the deluxe size. She will probably be growing out of it soon. I'm debating whether or not we should move up to the next size or just try the crib without it. I'd love your input!
Hi Kacie, I just ordered one. My 3 month old has been sleeping 8-9 hours in her rock n play, but when I tried to move her into the pack n play, she was up off and on all night. So I'm hoping the dockatot can help give her the same feeling the rock n play gives her. Question- you show a picture of ranger in his dockatot deluxe in the crib.. but the website says it is for co sleeping or supervised naps. Did you let him sleep in it over night in a crib? It seems to me that if it is ok to co sleep in the deluxe, it would be ok in the pack n play right next to my bed. Sorry, that was a long comment! Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing…this is exactly what I was looking for. After a few weeks of crap sleep, we hit the regression HARD last night (hourly wakeups, would only sleep in my arms) and I've already got my DockATot scheduled to be delivered today (we're taking four plane trips and moving cross-country in the next three months so…yeah). I'm looking forward to seeing if it helps. At the very least it will allow me to safely co-sleep with him, unlike last night when I said "screw the rules!" and took him to bed with me.

Right Angle is open for business as usual. Please stay safe during this public health crisis.
Intelligent Move Recruitment is a new and innovative company established to provide a fresh, honest and transparent approach to the recruitment and personnel sector. When creating the Intelligent Move logo we worked closely with the client to understand their core values and what separates them from the competition. The people on the team are their strength and they aim to encourage candidates to make a smarter career move by using their services. We focused on these two elements, people and movement and visually brought them to life with a human figure forming the 'I' and the 'V' becoming an arrow moving up and away from the wording. We ensured the logo worked in both landscape and stacked versions as well as developing a shorter 'IMR' icon to be used on business cards and other corporate materials.

Sapa is a popular tourist destination in Vietnam, but on any Sapa group tours, it's always been portrayed as this mountainous, aboriginal area, with a population of a poor ethnic minority. Little did you know, this place is heaven for those looking for a luxurious vacation.
These are the aspects that make your Sapa group tours go beyond the common.
First of all, let's talk about the weather. The fact that weather in Sapa is ideal all year round is not an exaggeration. In the summer, when everywhere else in Vietnam, people are being "roasted" under the sun, Sapa's temperature only fluctuates around 13 – 20 Celsius degree, day as well as night. Winter, on the other hand, is the time when the region is most popular as it is one of the only places in Vietnam that gets snow. The scenery then is certainly stunning, but if there is a season where Sapa is not recommended, winter would be it. The high season makes it difficult to find accommodations as well as enjoy other fancy facilities. If you want to have the perfect luxurious Sapa tours, start your trip in any other seasons and the weather is guaranteed to be perfect for a relaxing vacation away from the city's concrete heat.
Sapa is known for its year-round nice weather (Source: Internet)
Sapa is in the mountains, therefore transportation must not be very convenient, right? Wrong. Remember that you are living in the 21st century and that people can go up a mountain by elevator. Unfortunately, the recommended transportation to Sapa is not an elevator, but a train, with private deluxe bed and facilities similar to a mini hotel. Best of all, the trip only takes 8.5 hours from Hanoi Station, all you have to do is get on the train, wow at the magnificent scenery, take a nap and voila, Sapa is in front of you! Never before has an adventure been so effortless.

But before getting on the train, remember to book a place to stay. Turns out that a rundown homestay is no longer a popular choice for group tours to Sapa, after a radical development in tourism, Sapa group businesses now offer both high-class hotels and resorts. If you want to have a tranquilizing holiday amidst nature but not be bothered by monkeys, a resort is your ultimate choice.
Here are a few recommendations from experienced travelers:
Situated on top of a terraced field, Topas Ecolodge Resort is famous for its dazzling view and an infinity edge pool with an outlook to Sapa's famous fog-blanketed mountain tops.
Topas Ecolodge Resort
Amazing Sapa is a modern architecture misplaced within Sapa's raw charm. The hotel complex is famous for its rooftop dining area and a giant Jacuzzi, perfect for your self-indulgence.
Amazing Sapa Hotel
Warm and comfortable are the words visitors used to describe Sapa Jade Hill Resort. Adorned with stone fire-place, bamboo and wooden furniture, the resort definitely represents the image of your dream vacation home.
Sapa Jade Hill Resort
Want to try being a queen or king of an ethnic minority? Eco Palms House is the place to be. A combination of rural charm and classy touches, this retreat might be among your best experience in Sapa.
Eco Palms House – Sapa Retreat
After checking in to your accommodation, it's time for the real Sapa adventure. In Sapa, choosing is simple there are three must-sees:
This is the first stop on any Sapa group tours. One because its location is adjacent to several other destinations and two because it is gorgeous! Coming here, firstly, you have to pay a visit to the Orchid Forest. This delicate flower is not rare in Vietnam, but nowhere can you see this many types of orchids, each with a different hue, living condition, and set up.
Ham Rong Mount Orchid Forest
Nearby this botanical field would be the famed Stone Church of Sapa. This is an ancient Catholic Church built by the French, a structure of gothic and primitive beauty.
Sapa ancient stoned church
After these mountain base terminals, if you're determined to climb up Ham Rong mountaintop (a trekking route of 1,5 km), you can do so by walking. Don't worry about your physical ability, because along the way there will be many stunning sites that will certainly slow you down, not to mention drinks vendors and stops everywhere, making Ham Rong trekking the most relaxing trip you can be on. Besides, all your effort would be rewarded when you make it to the top of the mountain and pose at the "sky gate" - a panorama point which allows visitors to capture all the glory of Sapa city. This is exactly where the most unbelievable Sapa pictures are taken!
Ham Rong sky gate
If you ask any Vietnamese person what Sapa is famous for, the very first answer would be Fansipan Mount. Crowned the "rooftop" of Vietnam and Southeast Asia, with a spectacular foggy route full of danger, Fansipan Mount is among the best challenges for mountain climbers. But if you're looking for a less active vacation, the Fansipan Cable is for you. (Now you're literally getting to a mountaintop in an elevator). Sit back safely in this glass-box and watch the immensely green terraced fields run by, touching the sky and clouds does not feel impossible.
Fansipan Mount Cable
Between the admirable grandiose of Fansipan and Ham Rong Mount, there is a destination easily overlooked by visitors, the Sapa Roses Valley. Here is a vast field, where roses spread into strips of red silk, vibrant over the stillness of surrounding mountains, as if sending a passionately romantic message to all visitors.
Sapa roses valley
After a long day of adventures, let's settle down for a feast full of Sapa's best culinary offers.
It is expected that up on the mountain, processed produce is rare. Therefore, Sapa is heaven for health geeks as this place is known for its organic source of food. From hill chickens to Cap Nach pigs, in Sapa you will experience the freshest ingredients in the world. A surprisingly fancy offer here is salmon. Sapa people have only started breeding salmon since 2006. However, this has become a staple specialty of the region.
Salmon sashimi in Sapa
But mentioning fish, there's no Sapa specialty like sturgeons. Sturgeons in Sapa have attracted not only customers from Vietnam but also international market for their firm and tasteful flesh. Sapa's distinct cuisine also brings out their specialty's flavor. Beside direct fire grilling, which is their most famous popular type of cooking, Sapa people also eat fish as hotpot and raw spring rolls, an unexpectedly luxurious treat in the mountainous area.
Sturgeons hotpot in Sapa
Either with your family, on a honeymoon or just a little self-indulgence, hopefully with this useful information, you can have a luxurious, relaxing, and memorable Sapa tour.

As one of our favorite bloggers, JackieWriting, noticed Theo's World has been on a brief hiatus! Early in the year, I took on a new venture–OWNER & CEO of Chartreuse By Annie.
Chartreuse is my own line of all-natural, hand-poured soy candles. I finally started pursing the craft of candle-making, which is something I've wanted to do for a while. As you can probably guess, I just haven't had time to keep up with Theo's posts in the last few months. Keeping up with Theo is hard enough! If you're interested in my candles, you can visit our blog at http://chartreusebyannie.wordpress.com/ or shop online here: http://chartreusebyannie.com/.
During this hectic time, Theo has been right by my side (of course)! He's the best little assistant a girl could ask for. Important update: his separation anxiety has dramatically decreased! He's now able to stay by himself for most of the work day without barking or getting too upset. We nixed the crate, and he's enjoying free reign of the house. Magically, there haven't been any housebreaking accidents or anything of the short. Life is good! We'll be back to regular postings in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here are some photos from our time away:

|Variations in the isotopic composition of carbon in urban atmospheric carbon dioxide.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 4167909 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Measurement of the abundance of atmospheric carbon dioxide as an indicator of air pollution has been of very limited value because of variations in urban areas in the substantial concentration of natural carbon dioxide produced from combustion and noncombustion (natural) sources. A solution to this problem is the use of precise isotopic assay of ratios of carbon-13 to carbon-12 in atmospheric carbon dioxide. There is very little variation of carbon isotopic composition in samples taken over rural or urban areas where rapid mixing and diffusion of gaseous combustion products is possible. Significant differences in this composition in samples taken at centrally located points at street level in the lower Manhattan business district show an increase in concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide of roughly 20 percent produced primarily by automobile exhaust.

I'm very pleased with the progress I made during Q2. I finished three quilts (of four) and completed a couple other small projects that were never on my list:
Again, I have put off finishing my hand quilting project. Perhaps Q3 will be the quarter when I conquer the beastie. It's going to look so good when it's finally done. My sewing room needs to turn into a guest room for a week so I'll try to have everything I need handy to finish that while I mourn the 7 day loss of my sewing machine.
The other project I would love to finish in the next three months is a Craftsy Class: Magical Blocks out of the Box. I decided to make things extra hard on myself by attempting a rainbow effect across the top. I only have the large "R" block to make then I can piece it all and add the border.
I'm linking up to Finish-A-Long

Rashad Evans
Spoiler: Rashad Evans & Chuck Liddell
I have been unwavering in my support of Rashad Evans ever since he was on TUF. Time and time again people have underestimated his abilities. He was also a 3 to 1 underdog against Liddell going into this fight.
I have always been upset with fighters in the UFC having to linger around while all of the big name fighters can win and lose and continuously be handed title shots. Or no names are given a shot because they want someone to keep the title.
Hooray for Evans, he deserves it!!!

You Are Here: Home - Club Monaco , fashion , J Brand , JCrew , Marc by Marc Jacobs , Our Lookbook , Theory - Marc by Marc Jacobs dot-print scarf : seeking suggestions
My order from Neiman Marcus arrived today: Marc by Marc Jacobs dot-print scarf! I played couple matches, but I haven't made my decision to keep it. The color is a little bit off between ivory and yellow, but still a spring-summer color. Quality is actually good: soft and silky to touch, 50% silk and 50% cashmere. Compared to Marc Jacobs polka dot scarf (>$500), the price of MBMJ is reasonable.
#1: JCrew faded Chambray popover+ Zara jacquard pattern skirt + scarf (wearing tights, and the outfit works at 60F to 70F)
#2: Theory jersey dress + scarf (similar as #1, but a little bit dressy)
#3: Club Monaco tee + JBrand skinny + scarf (typical weekend outfit. The off-white is good with dust rose. Again the scarf can add some chic and edgy elements to the outfit, but also keep you warm in the morning or evening).
Here you can imagine the color, next to a pure white tee.
Dear readers, I would like to hear from you! Keep it, how to match, or send it back?
3 comments:
the scarf goes well with vintage accent top( 3rd pic) but not very versatile and crispy, would return it if I were you. price wise, it is a good deal compared with marc jacobs' though.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your suggestion. I will try to put it on and see how it goes with my skin tone. Will report here laterReplyDelete
I actually like the color. To me it is better than the sharp contrast from black and white.ReplyDelete


text: 3 Foundations Of An Effective Incentive Program by 360insights On May 30, 2014 Under: SPIFF As my colleague John Bodolai shared on this blog last week, being around for five years has helped 360 accumulate a wealth of historical sales incentive program data. As you can deduce – the greater the sample size, the higher quality the inferences we may draw from it. John's post shared some client success metrics, but where I really love to get under the hood and muck around is in the area of learning best practices. Best practices can be a sticky wicket for some: you want to do great work, but you also want to avoid getting stuck doing the same old thing over and over. But you can avoid that trap – have a look at the best practices for what you do, and distill from them what the principles are that drive the success of those practices. Here's what I've learned by looking for common success drivers across the top-performing programs we've helped our clients deliver. 1.What are your business objectives? It's very important to get clear on what you're trying to accomplish. Are you launching a new product?Is the program meant to drive growth in a stale territory?Are you looking to pull market share from a competitor?What about mind share from the sales associates at a particular store? As richer sources of data become available, it is possible to become even more surgical in your program planning. One of our clients runs over 200 concurrent, customized programs with wild success – the result of focused, data-driven decisions. 2.Understand demand pull/demand push. What does it take to convince retail sales associates (RSAs) to choose your brand or SKU over others?How can they be incented to sell the right SKUs or bundles to meet your objectives?Remember, training is a form of incentive as hundreds of RSAs have told us themselves that they prefer to sell brands they know very well.We have seen on-demand training combined with an incented quiz on the material work very effectively. If you are running a consumer rebate program, make sure that the consumer incentive will perform harmoniously with the channel incentive. 3.Get it right in the last three feet. The last three feet of the deal come after the consumer owns your product and is already experiencing it.It comes after the RSA has delivered on their end of the sales incentive deal – they have sold your product in good faith. What experience are you delivering to these people when they go to claim the channel or consumer incentives? This part is about ensuring that your brand treats these important people just as well or better than they were being treated before they performed the desired action. These folks sell your products for you. The customers buy them and bring them into their homes. It's a big deal and they should be treated appropriately. And it's not just about their experience in submitting their incentive claims – it's about the rapid payment.When you receive the payment within days it reaffirms your decision to buy or sell the product. It's truly a reward for the action you took. Jeff is the VP of Client Experience at 360incentives. Connect with him on LinkedIn HERE.

Falaj to city: Water Systems of the Gulf's Oases
Allies and Morrison is hosting an exhibition, Falaj to City: Water Systems of the Gulf's Oases, from 30 January to 17 February at our Southwark Street studios. The exhibit presents a study of the falaj, a longstanding water irrigation system that has helped to nourish communities across the Arabian Peninsula.
Applied over centuries of development, the falaj have become not just an important means of irrigating agriculture in a harsh climate, but places where public and private realms move, facilitating exchange and interaction. Through a series of models, the display illustrates how and where falaj occur at different scales, from a single settlement to a whole city.
Our interest in the falaj as a typology developed out of our work on the masterplan for Madinat al Irfan, a new city in Oman. A contemporary falaj system is incorporated into the urban design of the city, helping to nourish both urban agriculture and recreational opportunities.
Falaj to City is a collaboration between Cultural Engineering and Allies and Morrison. On view to the public from 10am-5pm, weekdays, from 30 Jan – 17 Feb at Allies and Morrison, 85 Southwark Street, London SE1 0HX.

In December of 2004, I was a 22-year-old with not many worries and a 1991 Mazda RX-7. It was a normally aspirated coupe with nearly 230,000 miles on it. It was in very good overall condition. The engine had been rebuilt at 140,000 miles and I had upgraded quite a few things to add my own personal touch. I had owned the car for almost five years and had a lot of great memories in it. A few days before Christmas that all changed. I came outside during a break at work, walked to my spot, and did not see my car. In disbelief, I walked the whole parking lot as if I had somehow decided to park in a new spot that day and just forgot. It was nowhere to be found; it had indeed been stolen.
The search for a replacement began quickly. I was hopeful my original RX-7 would be found, but I knew these stories typically didn't end well. I wanted another RX-7 and was willing to travel a bit to get what I wanted. My search quickly narrowed in on a 1991 RX-7 Turbo II outside of Atlanta. It looked decent in the pictures and the engine had just been rebuilt. The seller and I exchanged some messages and agreed on a price. I sent a deposit and started planning my trip. I asked a few friends, but given the holidays, nobody was available. My mom volunteered and we would depart early in the morning on New Year's Eve.
We left at 4 am hoping to be there before lunch. The drive up was incredibly uneventful. A gas stop and a run inside for some Mountain Dew and a Snickers were all that was needed. We arrived in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta around 11 am. I inspected the car, we haggled a little on the final price as I found some issues that weren't evident in the initial pictures. A quick test drive later and I was soon leading the way back to Florida in a new-to-me RX-7 Turbo II. The first few hours were smooth sailing. Things were going so well; I'd be home in plenty of time to gorge myself on shrimp cocktail before watching the ball drop.
A few miles before the Georgia-Florida state line, we stopped to fill up on gas. As we pulled away, I heard loud squealing. My mom pulled up alongside me and as soon as I rolled the window down, I could tell it was the RX-7. I shrugged it off and we pulled back onto the interstate, roughly 240 miles from home.
Shortly across the state line, it happened. I heard a loud bang and all the lights in the warning cluster lit up. The alternator belt had snapped. I pulled off at the next exit and parked at a gas station. Today, this situation would be much easier to handle. A quick Google search on my smart phone and I could find the nearest parts store. An online inventory search would tell me if they had the correct belt in stock. I could check out on my phone and head to the store to pick it up. However, this was 2004. The iPhone was three years away. I owned a Motorola flip phone. It was now about 4:30 pm on New Year's Eve and we were in a sparsely populated region of the Florida panhandle. The nearest NAPA was already closed. We called an Advance and luckily they had the belt we needed. They were 30 miles away and luckily didn't close for another hour. Given the impending darkness, we bought a flashlight as well. So, in the dark, with the light from a tiny LED flashlight, I changed the alternator belt on the RX-7. There are four accessory belts and of course the alternator belt is the most inboard of these. I started to realize I probably wasn't going to have any shrimp cocktail this New Year's Eve.
After an hour of working with the limited tools I had brought, I was finished. I turned the key and hoped for the best. The car ran flawlessly the rest of the way. I arrived home shortly after 11:30 pm tired, beaten, hungry, but feeling closer to whole with a rotary in my possession once more. The new RX-7 blew a second alternator belt a week later. I cleaned up any possible burrs I could find on the pulleys and switched to my preferred brand of belts and never had an issue again.
As a final postscript, my original RX-7 was found. The thieves had stripped, the engine, transmission, my shiny aluminum radiator and possibly some interior parts. It was ditched in a wooden area and set on fire. I had trust issues for a while after that.

Oh man. Food coma. Raw (excuse me, "living") food coma. This afternoon we were invited to a 7-month-young raw, vegan, organic restaurant at Quebec and 2nd called Organic Lives, where the owner, Preet, treated us to a five-course meal on the house. We ate entirely too much (you can do that with raw food?!) and now I feel like either napping or running a triathlon… I'm not sure which.
This is an incredibly long review so if you don't want to read it, here's the nutshell: It's really good, the food is amazing, their trading practices are A+, I want to shop there for groceries all the time, but the atmosphere is a little too sterile for my tastes. Get the Oh My God Coconut Cream Pie. Or read more: Continue reading

Anna's literary world changed at age thirteen when a friend gave her Kathleen E. Woodwiss's A Rose in Winter. With her mind thoroughly blown, Anna decided that one day she too would be a romance novelist. With Hugh Jackman's abs and Christopher Reeve's blue eyes as inspiration, she loves spinning tales of superheroes finding love.
Ripley Jorgensen had believed the biggest shock in his life was developing shape-shifting powers, but that was nothing compared to learning that one of his teammates, the woman he loved, was a complete fraud. Not only did she steal someone's identity, she may have committed murder.
Alisia had figured there was no better place to hide out than in a hidden mountain fortress surrounded by superheroes. Surely no one from her past would think to look for her there—that is, until her murderous father hired the Evolutioneers to find his missing daughter and blew her cover. Now she's on the run with not only her former friends right on her tail, but also the man who has her scent embedded in his soul.
Ripley doesn't just want answers. The beast within has determined that Alisia is its mate. Until he claims her as his own, the fight between man and animal grows stronger every day. And if she should refuse him? The man would be lost to the beast. Forever.
People suck, at least according to reclusive inventor Max Madden—except for his friend and mentor, Anthony. But now Anthony is dead after uncovering evidence that an avaricious financier caused the current economic crisis and is out for world domination, a man Max knows has the money, resources, and charm to succeed—his own father. Now Max is out for vengeance and he doesn't need a distraction like Crystal Evans tagging along.
The provocative psychic may have soft lips, curves like a Ferrari, and a scent like vanilla sugar, but she also has a thirst for redemption that will never be quenched. Max can't help but admire her tenacity, and when she leads him to others who also have superhuman powers, he agrees to lead this team of crime-fighting supers if they all agree that he will be the one to take his father down.
But fate and circumstance has a way of bitch-slapping a man to awareness, and emotional hungers Max once detested have become what he now craves. When Crystal becomes the key to Madden Sr.'s downfall, Max must choose: Can he send the woman he's come to love on the mission, a mission during which she has seen her death in a vision, or have his revenge?
Melody Webber is done with the men in her small town. Why was it so difficult to find a Mr. suitable enough to make her a Mrs?

After tasting Mel's sweet fire, Jack's eager for another taste, but he's returning to the sport that almost killed him, and if her brother and the other hands on the ranch find out, he'd be facing nastier foes than the bulls he tangles with in the arena.Melody agrees to keep their newfound relationship on the down low until an unplanned pregnancy blows the lid off the surprise. With a baby on the way, Melody has to decide if she can plan on a future with a baby daddy who risks his life every weekend for fame and a silver buckle, or if she needs to resettle in greener, more stable pastures.
With the clock ticking, Jack now has to work his Cannon charm and convince his lady love that they can have it all
Small-town life fits Adam Maguire like a pair of favorite blue jeans, while Nicolette Fournier finds it as constricting as a straitjacket. But when this good ol' country boy and rock n roll princess come together, sparks fly hot enough to melt the icing on the delicious cakes in Nic's bake shop.
As the youngest of six brothers, nothing is more important to Adam than family, and he believes Nic would make a great addition to his. Only Nic is counting the days to when she has fulfilled familial obligations and can return to her life of open roads and adventure, leaving bad childhood memories in her rearview mirror. To make this free spirit his, Adam will have to pull out all of the stops to convince her that the only bed he wants to set his cowboy boots under are hers, and home wouldn't be complete without her Doc Martens beside them.
Ari Rayner's fresh start in the city is put on hold when her car breaks down on a mountain pass. Her savior is a hooded angel with haunted eyes who gives new meaning to the phrase "smoldering intensity". Drawn to his strength, she revels in helping him succumb to his illicit fantasies. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she's afraid to get down and dirty.
Bale made a deathbed promise to protect those who cannot protect themselves, a vow he's done a damn fine job of upholding, but the fire burning within Ari beckons him to play in the flames, and the heat they generate brings the house down. But such brilliance sheds light on past mistakes that Bale must now answer for. With his true nature revealed, Ari uses everything at her disposal—whips, straps and a firm hand to convince Bale he is not a monster and is worthy of her love.
When Dhavin Kilsgaard landed on Earth, he knew trading his life as a royal guard for a position as a small town police officer would take some adjusting. But not even his skills at foiling assassination attempts and protecting princesses prepared him for the complexity that is the human female. Fiona Corrione's shy smile makes him hunger for more than a taste of the delicious chocolate she sells in her candy store, but the woman won't fall for his Llanos charm.
When his empathetic abilities sense her lusty cravings for his superhero alter ego, he doesn't hesitate to seduce her from behind the mask. Once she falls in love with him, she'll forgive him for the ruse, right?
Fiona is beyond livid when she discovers the flirtatious officer and her hunky hero lover are one and the same. Before she kicks Dhavin to the curb, she'll prove Earth girls aren't easy and revenge is sweetest when served with leather straps and whipped cream.
A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora's Cave
Book two in the Heroes of Saturn series.
Princess Amaryllis should have been sad to be exiled from her home on the Saturn moon, but on Earth she finds freedoms she never imagined existed. She embraces her new home with big, open-mouthed kisses and establishes herself as a prominent businesswoman catering to the humans' most intimate desires.
When the former head of her father's guard enters her domain, he rouses not only old insecurities but also a burning desire to see him lose the formal constraints and succumb to the promise in his command.
Lucian Kilsgaard was a warrior without a mission until he received word that an assassin had been sent to ensure the exiled princess does not return to reclaim the throne. He goes to warn the princess and instead of the unconfident, impulsive girl he remembers, he finds a bold temptress. How can he protect her when all he wants is to sink into her softness? He vows the line between protector and lover will never be crossed, yet Amaryllis will test his resolve until he takes exactly what he needs.
As a female sheriff in a small town, Brett Briggs faces enough obstacles turning complacent good ol' boys into a top-notch police force without the added insult of a vigilante apprehending her criminals. Her prime suspect? Kristos Kilsgarrd, the sexy river guide who has been open in his desire to move her away from her badge and into his bed.
In his former position as royal guard, Kristos once failed a woman he cared for and as punishment was banned from his home on one of Saturn's moons. He vows not to make the same mistake with Brett and uses his superpowers to protect her, no matter the foe. Or the cost.
But Brett didn't become sheriff by letting a man take care of her, and although the hot-as-hell Kristos is persuasive, she's not going to start now—even after burning it up between the sheets with him. When her town is threatened, they cry out for a hero and she sets out to prove to everyone, Kristos included, that she's the woman for the job.
Ben Castillo was every woman's fantasy. More precisely, Faith O'Leary's fantasy. Tall, broad, and oh-so handsome, he had a deep voice, and big hands, and the best part of all – he was just as kinky as the rumors suggested. Even kinkier. When he agreed to help Faith explore her submissive nature, she mistakenly thought her biggest obstacle would be in getting Ben to believe her when she said she wasn't going to walk away after his tutelage was over. Instead she finds herself facing the scorn of their conservative community when it's discovered that their relationship also included time spent with his cute roommate Colby.
Ben was convinced his time with Faith was limited, and she'd move on to someone closer to her own age and settle down once she had her fun. The vicious gossip going around town is a sign for him to walk away from the woman he's come to love, but Colby thinks Ben's a fool, and will do whatever he can to ensure a happy ending. For all of them.
Ever since police Captain Marco DeWinter discovered Dr. Jasmine Jovanovich's secret life as a dominatrix, he has wanted to be on the receiving end of a set of handcuffs and feel the bite of her stiletto in his back as she makes him worship at her feet.
Jasmine agrees to be his guide into the darker pleasures and is delighted when he dives in with the same enthusiasm as he does his police work. That is until he makes her question her "only at The Cavern" policy, and wants to blur the lines between her professional and personal life. When Jasmine is caught in the fallout of one of his cases, Marco must convince her that not only can she trust him to keep her body safe, but her heart as well.
