"I wake with a start from a bad dream. Anxiety clutches at my chest. Something's gone . . . something's missing . . . Beth . . . Always Beth . . ."
When Geniver Loxley lost her daughter at birth eight years ago, her world stopped and never fully started again. Mothers with strollers still make her flinch; her love of writing has turned into a half-hearted teaching career; and she and her husband, Art, have slipped into the kind of rut that seems inescapable. For Art, the solution is simple: Have another child to replace Beth. For Gen, the thought of replacing her first child feels cruel, nearly unbearable. A part of her will never let go of Beth, no matter how much she needs to move on.
But then a stranger shows up on their doorstep, telling Gen the very thing she's always desperately longed to hear: that her daughter was not stillborn, but was taken away as a healthy infant. That Beth is still out there, somewhere, waiting to be found. A fissure suddenly opens up in Gen's carefully reconstructed life, letting in a flood of unanswerable questions. How could this possibly be true? Where is Beth? And why is Art so reluctant to get involved?
As Gen delves into the darkest parts of her past, she starts to realize that finding the answers might open the door to something even worse, a truth that could steal everything she holds close. Even her own life.
With "Close My Eyes," Sophie McKenzie weaves a breathless thriller that digs in its hooks without mercy and twists without warning, confirming her place among today's most exciting new voices in psychological suspense."

Imagine losing a daughter at childbirth and living your life in a depression, only to have a mysterious stranger inform you years later that the girl is actually alive and well. This is the premise of Sophie McKenzie's new novel, which is skillfully narrated by Marisa Calin in an inspired, emotional performance. Calin's ability to capture the essence of the novel's troubled, ravaged heroine, Geniver Loxley, is extraordinary. Calin's pacing is steady, her tone is simple and understated, and yet her voice possesses a slight tremble during Geniver's dialogue. In this audio edition, McKenzie and Calin—by the power of her performance—force listeners to wonder how they might act in a similar situation. A St. Martin's hardcover. (July)
A living nightmare
When a stranger shows up at the door of Geniver Loxley's London townhouse and tells her that her stillborn baby was really delivered alive, everything in Gen's life is turned upside down. Eight years ago, Beth—as Gen and Art had named their daughter—died in utero. Ever since, Gen has lived in a blur of grief, unable to conceive again, her writing career swapped for desultory teaching gigs, her marriage to her handsome, super-supportive, super-successful husband as empty as her teaching. Close My Eyes, Sophie McKenzie's wickedly compelling new thriller, performed by Marisa Calin, follows Gen into a labyrinth of lies as she begins to search for the child she's dreamt of all these painful years. Whom can she trust? Where can she turn? Is she losing it, as her husband insists, finally tipped over by grief? Or is there a lethal reality that, once discovered, could cost Gen her life and the loss, all over again, of the child she's never seen or held? Once you start listening to this audio cocktail spiked with Gaslight, The Memory Keeper's Daughter and a dash of The Bad Seed, don't plan to do anything else.
A local woman who never drank dies of alcohol poisoning, and the probable murder lands in the lap of Detective Patrik Hedstrom just weeks before his long-awaited wedding. It's a perplexing case for the police department in Tanumshede, the small Swedish town where Camilla Läckberg sets The Stranger, the fourth in her best-selling crime series. It gets even dicier when Patrik discovers similar cases in other towns around Sweden and wonders if he might be dealing with a slow-moving serial killer. To add to the challenge, a TV reality show centered on the bad behavior of heavily drinking teens comes to town to start shooting, and, within days, one of the contestants is murdered and stuffed in a garbage can. Though Läckberg doesn't favor the razzle-dazzle horror and wild chases that mark many Scandinavian thrillers, her convoluted plots, deftly drawn characters and super sense of suspense make her a formidable fashioner of fine crime fiction, impeccably evoked here by narrator Simon Vance.
Nora Eldridge is angry, and her rage spills out in an eloquent first-person narrative. Hearing her voice, so convincingly rendered by Cassandra Campbell in this extraordinary audiobook, makes you her confidant, enveloped in her world. Yet, as The Woman Upstairs, Claire Messud's brilliant new novel, unfolds, you begin to wonder if Nora is really a reliable narrator. A beloved third grade teacher in a Cambridge, Massachusetts, private school, she wanted to be an artist, but never had the ruthless fire and confidence she needed. Nearing 40, unmarried, perceiving herself "consigned to mediocrity," Nora meets the Shahids, a glamorous international couple from Paris, whose son is in her class. She falls in love with all of them: Reza, a sweet 8-year-old; Sirena, an emerging Italian installation artist; and Skandar, a charming Lebanese professor on a fellowship at Harvard. And suddenly, Nora feels alive, empowered to make art, empowered to be significant. Still, the reader knows—though Nora doesn't seem to—that she can't live in their aura forever; sooner or later, she'll feel betrayed, and that betrayal will fuel a fury that might not be contained.

If ever there were a long list of things you should do in your lifetime, I strongly recommend to NOT put sleeping on a sheet-less bed on that list, especially if it involves temperature dropping to 10 degrees Celsius at night! Three sweatshirst, shorts, pants, and ski socks and I was still cold! But thankfully, being awake for 35 hours sure helped me fall asleep! I woke up well rested and excited to start my day.

Most of us has been to see the Harlem Globetrotters. Whether you were a young kid, or a parent taking their kids to see them, its always a good and magical time. The players are incredible athletes who can do amazing dribbling, passing and shooting exhibitions. They also have fun messing with the other players, the refs, and even the audience when they throw a bucket of 'water'. Back to the players being amazing basketball players, yesterday was Guinness World Record Day. A rookie member of the Harlem Globetrotters attempted to break a record.

A man that is unusually phyically strong for his size because of lack of sexual activity. It is believed that sexual activity temporarily physically weakens a man. Professional athletes abstain from sex prior to an athletic contest. College coaches keep their athletes under wraps the night before a game because of this. Professional boxers abstain from sex during training before a fight.

I word originating in the 1980s in NC. Initally a nickname many people called a guy from Jacksonville NC. Use of the word originally was used to describe his feats of strength in the gym. Many people thought it had to do with his sexual aura,so the word has overtime developed a second meaning to refer to a mans vitality.
1) That guy is cockstrong! Did you see him lift the back end of that car?!

Attract RX
By Mark Alexander, Pheromones Report Editor
Attract-RX is a controversial pheromone that claims to be breakthrough pheromone in attracting women. One of their bold claims is that it was designed to stimulate the production and distribution of the body's human sex pheromones.
Duration: Users have reported 2-3 hours on average or until you stop taking the pills. The manufacturer claims that if you discontinue using the pills then the effects will last for up to 7 days.
Effectiveness: Unfortunately, Attract-RX was not effective at all when I tried it. I decided to test it out on the basis that it would provide me with attractive results. I was hoping to see improvements with women becoming more friendly, flirty, and lots of eye contact. I wish I could say that was the case.Within the 7 days I used this product, I only notcied very minor changes in womens behavior. This may have been a placebo effect so it's very hard to determine if it has any effect at all. These are not the results I would expect in a quality pheromone product.
- Uses proprietary pheromone technology
- Products are new and have not been extensively tested
Final Verdict: Compared to myother reviews I couldn't use my usual test of asking women what they thought of the smell. All I could do was take the recommened doseage and notice any observable changes in women's behavior. Each night I went out I would try to be optimistic that I would get lucky and I just needed a litte more time. It normally doesn't take long for a quality pheromone to start working. After one week of using Attract RX nothing happened. Pass this one by. It's simply not worth it.

From the moment you walk through the door you feel like you are home. We purchased this condo in 2010 and have just completed an extensive remodel. We selected high end European cabinetry in a warm mahogany color, added a large kitchen island and installed granite counters in both the kitchen and bathroom as well as on the built in office desk. New appliances, custom lighting, iHome docking station and a high-capacity washer and dryer. High end furnishings sit atop our custom tile flooring with unique mosaic stone turtles added here and there for a bit of whimsy. Nothing has been overlooked. The floor to ceiling glass doorwalls open to the lanai where you will experience fantastic views of lush tropical grounds with meandering streams and ponds. Enjoy the sunset over the blue Pacific Ocean or star-gazing at night. Whale watching can become an enjoyable pastime during November - April.

If you only use one card then yes you need to work out the best option. I use Post Office card when abroad & foriegn transactions only, rest of year it doesn't get used. One year I spent over $20,000 with flights (Orbitz.com in $'s) cruise, hotels etc. & spend. Even at 1.5% its a lot of fees.
We are with the post office on there premium insurance and it covers a certain amount BUT we also have a separate kit insurance through DH forces insurance that covers pretty much the rest! We have always taken this much cash and it's just the norm for us, we won't allow it to be out of our sight then at the hotel we keep it in a lock box in the safe!! So it's pretty safe I hope
During our trip in April I used TCs and took a little cash too as I didn't want to use my credit card too much. Had no problems and was only asked for ID in Ghirardellis at DTD. (After a miserable experience of using pre-paid travel money card in Europe I dismissed this for USA.) I did have some TCs left when we got back and got next to nothing for them when I changed them - I would have been far better paying on my credit card as exchange rate was far more favourable. Next trip I will be taking some cash but the majority of things will be charged to my room and ultimately my credit card. But I guess each to their own
Sounds like you have it sorted We rarely use cash at home so using cards abroad is exactly the same for us. One bill when we get home and job done - wouldn't like to "ration" out the money which I would have to do if we used cash. We take a tiny amount for tips, vending machines etc. We always say we'll just get more cash out if we need to but we never do - we usually bring home a bunch of notes.
Hi, sorry it was me that started this z shild ago. Just been reading Saint Martin Lewis of Money Saving fames recent update on holiday spending and h&s recommended the Halifax clarity cc which has 0% load and fee free money withdrawals. Does anyone have one? Is this info correct?
I've just got a Caxton Currency card - as recommended by Martin Lewis..........Free to apply for (you pay a small deposit when you order the card which gets added to your card's credit) and no fees Got a rate of 1.50 yesterday too
There was a time many moons ago when you got a better rate for travellers cheques and you could spend them like cash. That has changed a little now, in that the rate is the same and some retailers have stopped accepting them. There are pros and cons to all of the options, but we tend to just take US dollars in cash these days. Travellers cheques are more secure and safe, in that they are covered if they are lost or stolen but if you have decent travel insurance, your spends are covered on that anyway. I have never been a fan of the currency cards because there are (not so hidden) fees to use them and sometimes you NEED cash, for example for tolls etc.
I feel a lot more "old school".I feel safer with travellers cheques and i find it easier to keep a track of how much ive spent as we tend to try and keep to a daily budget.Last time i bought travellers cheques from the post office i was given the third degree as to why cheques and not the post office card, which really got my back up.Even at the hotel some of the staff didnt know how to change them, also could only change $200 a day.They are still my prefered method though.
We intend to take all cash ( and a credit cards for back up emergencies ) I'm sure many will disagree with carrying $1000s in cash on hol but as PP have said we just split it all into days and spread the cash out. All carry some, some in safe. Some in our of sight money belt. I don't like cards when away. We do the same in Spain France and generally money rolls over into next days.
We came across lots of places in Vegas where they were no longer accepting Travellers Cheques. I can understand why people are hesitant about the currency cards as it does take a little more work to keep track of your spending and there are those which have hidden (and not so hidden) charges. We had a Travelex Cash Passport one year and, it was only when checking the balance online some 15 months after our return (in advance of topping up for the next trip) that I realised we'd been charged an 'inactivity fee'. We switched to Fairfx at that point and, as we only use the card for paying for meals/large purchases, we don't have any charges to worry about and there is no inactivity fee. We do still carry some cash - for tolls, small purchases like drinks/snacks, tips etc. but it is usually only around $200-$300 (no more than the amount covered on our insurance). I think, in the future, Travellers Cheques will become less and less common and you will come across many places that won't take them/don't know what to do with them. As I said above, in Las Vegas we saw quite a few places with signs up saying they could no longer accpet TCs. However, don't fall for the flim-flam that the travel agents use to try and push their currency cards, where they tell you that they are being phased out. I think that they will naturally phase out because the use of currency cards is on the increase but we haven't come across anywhere on our travels to Florida yet that won't take them. I'm with Wayne on this one - it is highly unlikely that large amounts of cash will be covered on your travel insurance (or home insurance) and you would be completely out of pocket (and up the swanny) should you lose your cash or have it stolen. Friends of ours have actually had money stolen from an in-room safe at an exclusive resort in Orlando so, even keeping it in a safe is no guarantee. We never carry more cash than is covered on our insurance. The reason we tend to use a currency card, however, is that we like to know that the money is there up-front (stops us spending money we haven't got). And I know there are people (Wayne) who will say that you just save the money and pay the bill when you get home but, without that limit on our spending, we don't think so carefully about how much we're spending and end up with a (nasty) surprise when the CC bill comes through. We tried doing exactly that last month, when we went to Vegas. Thought we would just keep the money in the bank and put everything on the CC. Then the bill came last week and I really had no idea we'd spent as much as we had. When using the Fairfx card, because we keep track of it daily, if we see we are going a bit over budget, we can cut back a bit accordingly and curb our spending to get back on track. With the credit card, we didn't even think about what we were spending as we didn't have to worry about running out of money.
We always take cash. Occasionally we will use our credit card but prefer cash to avoid any charges. You can use a debit card in cash machines there too which we have done before. . My son insisted on choosing the icon.! Lol.
We know people who have had money stolen from an in room safe too so for me its not worth the risk. We personally use a credit card for our large purchases and take a small amount for tolls/drinks etc in cash.
We've just come back from Portugal and always take too many Euros but save it for the next holiday. Don't want to take too much cash to Florida so will probably take about £300 each and put the rest on a credit card (We're on DDP). Is there a credit card which is best to use in the US, smaller fees etc?
The Post Office credit card has no fees on overseas transactions. You also get the business rate of exchange on any transactions.
Used PO a few years, as Joh says no fees and full interbank rate, not tourist rate you get with cash & travellers cheques, today I am getting $1.525 I have also just recieved the Halifax Clarity card, exactly the same, no fees and interbank rate. I think my mind works totally differently most on here, I spend less with a credit card than cash. If I have cash I think its spare money, credit card I know its to pay off so think twice about using it.
Another Halifax Clarity user here. I only have cash for tips and just as at home would use a card to spent £1/$1

Cute Bike Helmets For Women
5 Functional Bike Helmets Made Just For Women
We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on POPSUGAR Fitness!
Guys, not-so-newsy news flash: bike helmets save lives. (More specifically: bike helmet laws save lives.) This really should be obvious, but given the number of people I see on a daily basis who clearly haven't gotten the memo, it's something we need to talk about. According to brand-new research out of Boston Children's Hospital, states with bicycle helmet requirements have significantly lower rates of deaths and "incapacitating injuries" after bicycle-motor vehicle collisions. The study, presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting, has led its authors to recommend that all cyclists —regardless of age — wear helmets; the authors also support more laws to make them mandatory for all. Currently only 21 states and the District of Columbia require bike helmets, and even then, only for children. So while the study could only examine the impact of these youth helmet laws, it's safe to assume that helmets protect adult cyclists, as well.
About 900 people die each year in bicycle crashes, three-quarters of them from head injuries. And yes, it's important to ride cautiously and to know the rules of the road; but there are some things — like, um, cars — that you simply can't control. So be safe and wear a helmet — every time you get on your bike. Need a new one? Here are five of our faves.

Since I still have a ways to go with Senketsu Ryuko and she's intended as a parade outfit for WCS I've decided to make do with Ryuko's beginning [and ending] outfit for this weekend rather than rushing her! I'll be making use of the skirt made for Senketsu and heavily modifying a jacket since this is rather last minute! Will be wearing both her beginning and ending outfits at expo, while testing out my scissor blade which has been made by Tony! <3 |
Senketsu (Posted 21st May 2014) It really amuses me that my Ryuko skirt can stand up by itself - in true senketsu fashion ;) |
Decal (Posted 20th May 2014) Nearly done with the jacket~! |

Experimental: ActiveCare CECT
The ActiveCare CECT device is a mobile compression device used to prevent venous thromboembolic events, used after the induction of anesthesia, throughout the surgery and for 10-12 days after surgery.
Device: ActiveCare CECT device
Patients will be treated with the ActiveCare+ CECT device starting after the induction of anesthesia, throughout the surgery and for 10-12 days after surgery. Baby aspirin (81 mg) QD can be added (depending on surgeon preference) 12-24 hours after surgery. Post discharge prophylaxis is the same for the remainder of the 10-12 days. Patients will wear the device to the duplex ultrasound when it will be discontinued by nurse.

Active Comparator: LMWH (Enoxaparin)
Enoxaparin (LMWH) will be used, following a protocol that is considered a standard of care for this patient population. 40mg QD for the remainder of the 10 days.
Drug: Enoxaparin
Patients will be treated with Enoxaparin (Lovenox) for a total of 10 days beginning with 30mg BID starting 12-24 hours after surgery and continued until hospital discharge. Post discharge prophylaxis will be Enoxaparin 40mg QD for the remainder of the 10 days.
Other Name: Lovenox
Detailed Description:
Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty surgery are at particular risk for Thromboembolic disease. To date two prophylactic modalities are being used: mechanical (intermittent pneumatic compression [IPC]) and pharmacological (anticoagulant). Both are effective; however each carries its own advantages and disadvantages.
The purpose of this study is to compare in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients the safety and effectiveness of the mobile ActiveCare CECT based prophylaxis protocol and compare it with LMWH standard of care protocol for this patient population.
The protocol is based upon the CECT system as the primary DVT prophylaxis method (with or without the addition of low dose baby aspirin [81 mg]).

Quoting Anonymous:My 8 year old knows how to use my debit card lo kids are pretty mature these days....OP as to punishment I would have called the police....stealing is a crime.
Quoting leota29:How does an 11 yo steal your debit card, leave the house and go to the ATM and take $400 out and then be able to just put $220 back in just like that? How does your CHILD know your pin number or even how to do all that? Seems strange to me. My kids are still babies so idk are kids just that advanced these days? And seriously he's 11? Wow!! I am so not ready for my babies to grow up.
I never even saw a debit card or ATM card till I was about 14. My parents never gave us access to that kind of thing and any allowance we got was in cash. If they sent us to the store for something it was with cash.
I wasn't being snarky I really truly was shocked by what kids know how to do these days.
Quoting TaLeahMB:
With all these gadgets and technology these days, you really think its that hard for an 11 year old to figure out an ATM machine? my mom taught my sister & I to use one. I was 10 when I received my first ever debit card when I had a little "job" helping the local flower man. Of course it was jointed with my mom, so theoretically I could have robbed her, but my mother would have killed me.

For the 10th time (not really) I did not buy the phone, my ex did, and clue to all of you who are so shocked by it, most of them have smart phones in middle school, so it is not uncommon at all. My ss also 11 but only in 5th, has a pre-paid and all his friends have phones too and he is still in grade school.....
Quoting JBiiirdD:
He's 11 years old with an iPhone & you're asking us why he took money from you? ....
You have an awful lot going on in your house and it seems that most of the relationships in your son's life at the moment involve some possible negativity (his mom and dad's continued anger at each other, his step brother's disruptive and destructive behavior, his dad sharing inappropriate information, your husband's possible jealousy of your 11 year old's lack of previous issues, a relatively new half brother... )
The fact that this kind of delinquent behavior seems so out of character, it seems there's an awful lot going on inside your 11 year old. I think you are handling it appropriately but as some have suggested, I think counseling would be an excellent idea. Frankly, you shouldn't give a shit what any of us think because none of us know what its like to be you and in your life and I'm disgusted at some of the judgemental responses here. You posted about something that most of us would think of as a traumatic event that could happen to any of us and you got skepticism and blame heaped on you. No one, not one person, especially those that make condescending judgements about others, lead perfect lives, make perfect decisions or give perfect advice.
I have four kids, ages 11-21, and have found myself occasionally in situations where my children surprise me, not always in a good way . Fortunately, those times are fairly rare for us but it always sucks and from personal experience, I know that it shifted your world a bit- you probably feel you will never look at him quite the same way again and it planted a seed of distrust that sucks beyond belief when it involves your children.
Try to get him in to counseling, keep the lines of communication open with him, don't come down too hard on him and don't let others make you feel bad or denigrate your parenting skills. I feel for you and I hope things get better.
Quoting acrogodess:
I am surprised by how many people don't realize that you can withdraw money and deposit money from the ATM. If it is a cash deposit and not a check, the online banking account shows it immediately either as a deposit or a pending transaction. If I lost my debit card, the first thing I would do is check my online account to check for any transactions that I did not authorize
I didn't read the responses yet... But honestly. Why in the hell are you posting this here? What the fuck did you DO? Did you call the cops and report it? This is way too serious for anything else. Call the cops... Period.. unless, you'd like him to continue... And add in any other person he can steal from to the list!!
BTW, did you change your f'en pin?
You did not answer what I asked.
Quoting Sarah32882:I wouldn't let him have either considering the events.
IMO his parents should have discussed that together. Dad should not have put that in his head. Child support goes to the parent supporting the child, for living expenses not allowance. Dad can't just unanimously designate how much allowance he receives while living in his mother's home. It would be different, if he sent child support and mailed an extra $50 to be used for his son. Her son should have asked first no matter what.
Quoting Anonymous:
So why can't he have $50 of the child support money?
He's old enough for a phone, but not an allowance?

Cadillac Deville Performance Exhausts
The Cadillac Deville engine is powerful and rewards you with great pull even under tough driving conditions. But it is possible to boost engine performance and get more power by replacing the stock exhaust with a custom exhaust system. CARiD sells a range of high quality custom exhausts for the Deville that you can take advantage of. The Corsa cat back exhaust system for 2000-2005 Deville models will give you 10-15% more power and increase torque by a substantial amount. Other good Deville custom exhausts include Borla, MagnaFlow, Flowmaster, Gibson, Onki, MBRP, Weapon-R, RBP and Zunden. All give between 5-10% extra horsepower and a near-similar amount of torque. They come in different variations for all 1977 – 2005 Deville models and are readily available at the CARiD auto parts shop.
Singular custom exhaust components that can boost your engine performance without you having to remove the entire stock exhaust include headers, pipe, catalytic converters and mufflers. These are designed using advanced technology and are meant to maximize the flow of exhaust gases while keeping noise levels down. Your newly-fitted custom exhaust will reward you with a phenomenal sound that is more powerful than the stock exhaust note and yet controlled. Rather than buy a cheap exhaust system that makes very little difference to your engine's performance or sound, why not invest in a performance exhaust from CARiD? The months spent developing these exhausts ensures they come up fully refined to give optimum results. They are also made from sturdy stainless steel or aluminized steel to guarantee long service and durability.

Geology and Age Constraints on the Origin of the Intrusion-Related, Sheeted Vein-Type Åkerberg Gold Deposit, Skellefte District, Sweden

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Advances in Economic Minerals)
The Early Proterozoic (~1.9 Ga) Skellefte mining district in northern Sweden hosts abundant base metal deposits, but there are also gold-only deposits. The Åkerberg gold ore is unusual given the noted lack of alteration, a scarcity of sulfides and gold associated with thin (mm-cm wide) parallel quartz veins hosted in a gabbro. The gold content is positively correlated with the density of quartz veins, but gold often occurs between veins and also in parts of the gabbro where there is no veining. The gabbro is intruded by a granodiorite and associated pegmatite bodies, and U-Pb dating of zircon and baddeleyite suggest that these lithologies developed close in time at around 1.88 Ga ago. There are no primary inclusions in quartz veins, but different types of secondary aqueous inclusions occur. The Åkerberg ore is interpreted as a sheeted vein complex, with veins constrained to tensional cracks induced when a granodioritic magma intruded the competent, sheet-like gabbro intrusion. It is suggested that unmixing of the felsic magma also produced pegmatite bodies and a gel-like melt which invaded fractures in the gabbro and deposited silica. In a comparison, the Åkerberg ore shares many characteristics with the intrusion-related style of gold mineralizations.Keywords:
Skellefte district; gold ore; sheeted vein complex; U-Pb dating; fluid inclusions; intrusion-related style
