"Never got to the heart..."
...unless the author is using this as a metaphor, saying that Hillary Clinton has such a heart...I don't know; I'm confused.
A more fitting title may have been THE BBC CORRESPONDENT: flights with Hillary Clinton. The title, as is, seems misleading, adding to my confusion--and I'm blaming the author. With her childhood recollections of growing up in war torn Lebanon (and her subsequent disappointment in America) sandwiched between information we already know regarding Clinton's political trips, and banal info about the condition of the plane, the food, the bad schedules, Clinton's cheerful group sits, her toe nail polish choices...Ghattas didn't seem to have a clear flight plan, so to speak. I wasn't expecting to hear so much about Ghattas and her views on America's decline in power and popularity, and so little about Clinton's views on the heart of American Power. (That decline aspect would have been an interesting book providing the premise was well supported and not just Ghattas' opinion.)
I'd like to have heard about Clinton's milestones during her time as the Secretary of State; what were her initial goals and what she felt she accomplished; what did she see as the biggest deterrents to achieving the priorities she had; her experience with No. Korea, and her opinions of where the current situation there is going; and I'd like to have had an *inside look" at her assessment of Obama; how she developed a relationship with her opponent; her plans for the future...I could come up with a whole legal pad list of things I'd like to have learned from this book--and not one of them would have been the color of Clinton's toenails, (something I'd expect to be left to Barbara Walters as additional ammunition to besmirch the office of the Secretary of State). There was nothing of substance (new), especially when held up to a current portrait of America, or even the possible America of the future. Anything of political importance, we've read already; anything that may have been an *insider-only look* at Clinton... can be summed up in the first 6 letters of the word Secretary (still). I still haven't figured out exactly the intention of this book . It was at times interesting, Ghattas perspective was fresh, and it was a harmless 2 1/2 star listen. (And I'd love to read a review on this by Hillary Clinton.)
"Maybe this one should have stayed lost..."
I started at the beginning with Relic, moved onto Reliquary, became a fan of Pendergast, continued, even outside the series with Riptide, Thunderhead, and Ice Limit because I enjoy a clever, original thriller. Like most fans, a P&C release guaranteed an entertaining read to me, and I believe fans will again be entertained with The Lost Island.
Increasingly, I've found myself less intrigued by the prolific duo's stories, relying more and more on my devotion to the pair than the satisfaction I have been getting from their novels. White Fire, I didn't even review -- it tested my endurance and left me a little sickened. The sensationalism trumped the writing. The Lost Island not only tested my endurance, it asked me to venture way outside the limits of my reasoning until I felt like I was being dragged through nonsense for the sake of entertainment. I finished this, but without a sense of satisfaction. There isn't much depth (other than the deep blue sea), the story seems flat, contrived, and I hate to say it, but, silly. In fairness, I haven't read other books in the Gideon series...but I don't feel compelled to do so after reading this one.
"In His Own league"
It's Burke therefore it's great. He is one of those authors that has to be placed in a different league, one a few steps higher, like a handicap in golf -- he's just that professional and good with his craft. I've read almost everything he's written; even his books I didn't initially like I have looked back over. I appreciate them more the longer I read, and the more I read. I've not liked some stories, not cared about the subject matter, but I've never been disappointed with the quality of writing or the power of the story. Burke is a phenomenon; a class act, taking on stories of oppression, corruption, and integrity, with larger-than-life characters that seem charged with the iconic traits we all associate with heroes and scoundrels. In many ways, I enjoy him as much as I enjoy McCarthy (though I don't know if you can use *McCarthy* and *enjoy* in the same sentence). His style is identifiable within the first paragraph of any of his books, and always makes me feel like sitting down, once again, with an old very good friend.
Wayfaring Stranger seemed a bit of a departure from Burke's usual crime fiction format. Weldon Holland (who can trace his geneology back to the Hackberry Holland familiar to hard core Burke fans) is a more solitary introspect character than Robicheaux or Holland cousins Billy Bob and Hackberry. Weldon's early memories of a chance encounter with infamous crime partners Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow impacts his life and stays with him through his adulthood, an encounter that reaches into his future to come full circle.
The book covers the fascinating period of time in America after WWII, including the politics and anti-Semitism following the war. It was a time when simple investors became powerful tycoons, when mobsters like Bugsy Siegel rubbed elbows with powerful movie studio moguls, and when Hollywood had the power to make starlets out of girls they discovered at soda fountains -- or break them. And Burke wraps it into a neat circular story.
The story is rich and layered with themes and history, and Burke's writing is as polished and lush as ever, yet, I missed the sparring I've come to love so much from Burke's characters. I miss the white hat morality taking on a barrage of smart-ass comments from the black hats; that back and forth volley between two polar characters that were equally matched. These characters were dynamic, but dark, without much, if any, humor. It's a fine book in every sense, but my personal tastes (regarding Burke's books) have been spoiled by the usual dark story highlighted with a sprinkle of wisdom and copious amounts of witty repartee in his previous novels...thus my 3* for what is probably a 4* book.
"Just for the experience"
If you have ever listened to Gaiman being interviewed, to his podcasts, or been lucky enough to attend one of his performance readings you'll understand the Gaiman experience. The experience goes far beyond reading one of his books. His voice is almost a magical instrument that lifts the words off the pages. I'm not an expert or even a follower of Gaiman's, but I've read a few of his novels, even a couple of his graphic novels. It was after listening to him read just a few paragraphs of The Truth Is a Cave on the radio that I went looking for the rest of the fable -- specifically, him reading the novelette himself. I wasn't looking for the end of the story, as captivating as it was, but rather being under Gaiman's spell during the journey.
He is a performance artist. His voice is like a ripple in time that harkens back to nights tucked safely under a cozy blanket, listening to a bedtime story...a huge, dark story more Grimm than Disney. I wasn't a child that closed my eyes and dreamed of princesses with golden hair or frogs that burst into handsome princes...I closed my eyes and shivered with delighted at the trolls, goblins, and witches that lived in gingerbread houses.
A trait I realized I passed onto my own grandchildren: one night I told my 3 little ones a story, embellishing as much as I could to compete with Spongebob Squarepants. With attention to their tender ages, and the fact that they each were expected to sleep in their own beds once the lights went out, I was careful to balance the scary tale with some sparkle. It was completely silent when I finished, and I waited to assess their emotional state...then the oldest child whispered, "tell us more about the bad wolves." They still ask me to tell them that story; they've heard it dozens of times, yet still want the experience. Gaiman reminds me that I still need an occasional *tuck in* experience, to feel swept away into far away lands where shivers can be delightful.
It's a short story I think best left to the interpretation of the listener. An award winning tale I found charming, brilliant in its sparseness and illusion, but I wouldn't say it is a work of staggering genius unless you can hear it told by the author. As noted by another reviewer, the music is part of the presentation. I enjoyed it because I expected it, but can understand that it might be distracting if you just want straight story: try out the sample. Trying to recreate Gaiman's lauded public performance of this piece didn't work entirely, so I recommend switching to the kindle version to see the collaboration with artist Eddie Campbell. His paintings, whatever you may think of his style, do add an additional dimension. At the price of a ticket to a performance, the book is worth paying for, keeping your credit for those $40 behemoth novels . *Also: You can find this complete novelette on line -- free to read. Audible won't appreciate that announcement, but you won't get Gaiman whisking you away -- and that is priceless.
"Postmortem and resurrection of a marriage"
Excuse the clichés, but it is what it is, and this is an easy, quick, mildly entertaining read, that is (IMO) harmlessly overrated. The starred reviews, and "best-of" tag lines had me going into this read anxiously waiting for the 5* fabulousness and humorous story.
Expect instead, a slow, but steady and engaging launch. Richard Haddon is a semi-successful British artist, living in Paris with his beautiful Parisian wife and daughter, in the home of their dreams. He narrates (in a voice perfectly dripping with ennui), complaining about life in general, the disillusionment of his marriage, his dissatisfaction with his career, and a sex life that had become dull. All justification for a 7 month affair with an American girl. With that foundation, Richard plummets into the depths of despair/mid-life crisis when his young lover announces she is leaving him. In an attempt to gain our sympathy for his painful state of affairs, he only becomes more detestable with every word. Maum creates layer upon layer of delicious debauchery and self-pity, with a keen eye on the realistic and uncensored thoughts of a character slowly coming to grips with his actions.
Maum skewers human behaviors with a charming British bluntness that adds an enjoyable jolt of reality (but not comedy). She turns the characters inside out and has them work their way right again. The candidly narrated journey of self discovery is what gives heart to this book...albeit a syrup-y, sentimental heart.
The clichés, predictability, pointless fillers, pretentious rote characters, by any formula, keep this from being a 5* book; the witty and smart writing, the personal evolution of the characters, and some smooth narration by Deveraux, make this an enjoyable middle grounder -- at least, in my book. Just in case: **Expect some hot sexy scenes as the narrator recalls episodes of his affair, and some explicit language peppered with F-bombs, but nothing gratuitous.
"Leaves me breathless each time"
How many books have you lived in; walked the streets waving to old ladies on their front porches, smelled pound cakes cooling on window ledges, knew which houses to give a wide berth when passing by, and missed when you left? Like Twain's enduring fictional classic Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird is a story so well told, so perfect, that you stroll through it and dwell for a while, coming away from it different for having been there. For many of us we visited Harper Lee's Maycomb to get our HS diploma, and it seems a natural progression to go back. I wonder if we miss those characters, or the healing balm of hearing a precocious little girl's voice cry out, "Hey, Mr. Cunningham. I'm Jean Louise Finch...I go to school with Walter; he's your boy aint he?"
As she shows so many times in her one and only novel, Harper Lee is a born story teller. The back stories of the characters are immense, yet told with an economy of words that contain volumes. You experience this especially your second time through...Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose, what have you suffered to become so mean; what has Mr. Dolphus Raymond learned about people that keeps him content to have townsfolk believe that's a bottle of whiskey, instead of a regular ol' Coca Cola, in that little brown sack; how has Link Deas kept his humanity; does every town spit out a Bob Ewell; and what is Miss Maudie's pound cake recipe? -- there's a not an insignificant character or event in this book. It is a treasure trove of stories and lessons. I'd love a couple hours of Calpurnia talking about the day old Tim Johnson, Judge Taylor's dog, came shuffling down the road, rabid and threatening, sending the neighborhood into their homes, barring their windows... But Lee left us with just this one brilliant book.
To Kill A Mockingbird was published July 11, 1960 and has never gone out of print. When contemplating whether to review this (what I think is THE perfect novel), I had to wonder "is there really anything that hasn't already been said?" In this case, *Sissy Spacek*; no matter how many times you have read this novel, or even listened, Spacek, with her sweet drawl, IS Scout, speaking back through the years, recounting her story. She is the perfect choice for a perfect novel.
Though it is cliché to say it, this beautiful novel feeds your spirit. The easy wisdom reminds us of the importance of having understanding and love for others, demonstrated without guile or pretense by the innocence of children. The moral integrity and gentle strength of Atticus brings tears to my eyes (and has inspired the line *What would Atticus do?*) just thinking that we as human beings have the capability of such grace. Quotes from this superb novel fill notebooks I keep, but it is always two words, repeated half a dozen time by Jem, when his father orders him to take Scout and flee the angry mob at the jail, that choke me up. They contain all that there is of love, courage, and strength...even a young boy's faith in mankind, "No, Sir." They get me every time.
*[Addressing the frequent use of the *N* word; quoted from Banned Books Awareness;
A worldwide literacy project to celebrate the freedom to read.: "The American Library Association reports that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most challenged classics of all time because of the racial slurs and discussion of rape and incest, and still ranks at number 21 of the 100 most frequently challenged books." "In 1968 the National Education Association placed the novel second on a list of titles receiving the most complaints from private organizations. The top spot belonged to Little Black Sambo."]
"Bombyx Mori - A Successful Spell"
For me, one of the joys of a sequel, especially when it has been announced that there will be at least one other to follow, is the comfort I develop with the characters as they bloom. From their humble beginnings in Cuckoo's Calling, Cormoran Strike and his Watson-esque side-kick Robin Ellacot felt like people I wanted to spend more time with. Knowing Robert Galbraith's talent for character development (consistently captivating us through 7 volumes penned under Galbraith's nom de plume of J.K. Rowling), continuing on from Cuckoo was a given which paid off. The duo is back on the case looking for novelist Owen Quine who has gone missing since writing a scathing quasi-fictional manuscript that paints his associates in the publishing world in the darkest tones possible. When his body is found, elaborately murdered in a ritualistic play that mirrors Quine's manuscript, his colleagues are all suspect.
Here Galbraith shows her/his wonderfully inventive mind creating the eccentric characters and names as colorful as the residents that populated the Potter series. She also pokes some good-spirited fun at the publishing world that she reigned over in her rise to a billion dollar author. Even as *Galbraith* JK's talent is distinct, and a pleasure to read. It flows effortlessly, carrying the reader along through a world Rowling always seem to thoroughly inhabit in all of her writings and incarnations. This style is her strength. The plot of Silkworm is interesting and holds your attention, but it is theatrical more than plausible, with a bit of over achieving on the part of the murderer. Still, it makes for fun reading, as good as any in this genre.
"The Ghost of Tom Joad & the Wrath of Grapes"
I'd not heard of Smith Henderson. He has won both the Pushcart Prize and a PEN Emerging Writers Award in 2011; he also wrote the Emmy-nominated Super Bowl commercial "Halftime in America" which featured Clint Eastwood. The buzz in such circles that follow these kind of *accomplishments* has his name and the *Great American Novel* in the same orbit. Oblivious to Henderson prior to Audible's *Best of the Month* book list, I found myself, throughout this one, asking, "Can this truly be a debut novel?"
It is no coincidence that Henderson dips his toe into the book writing business with the aptly named Fourth of July Creek. His depiction of 1980's America is heartbreaking and beautiful -- the kind of story flowing with the flotsam and jetsam down-and-outters that would have inspired a Woody Guthrie song. Like watching the ripples radiate from a rock thrown into Henderson's creek, the story grows and encompasses different themes and struggles until it slams onto the landscape of 'this land made for you and me' of today.
The ghosts of Tom Joad inhabit the pages. Henderson's wretched refuse battle their own demons: poverty, drug addiction, alcoholism, sexual abuse, neglect, and mental illness, Hope driving them on as they struggle for different kinds of freedom. The people seem scraped from our underbelly. Even the DCFS case worker, Pete Snow, is a divorced alcoholic -- dispersing disposable diapers from the trunk of his car to homeless mothers, hiking into the mountains to aid the son of a Old Testament quoting survivalist. His own teen daughter has run away, disappearing into the seedy Seattle life of prostitution and drug addiction. He admits to his ex-wife, "I take kids away from people like us." (An insider's joke in psychology has always been: the odd treating the id.)
How is it that we go on reading when an author makes us ache to our bones? When we can see the projection of an inevitable disaster, the futility of any effort, the cruelty of hope? Because Henderson's language is like a healing balm. It is elegant and rings with bare truth. He glides effortlessly from despair and ugliness to the beautiful realism redolent of Woodrell's *hillbilly noir* novel Winter's Bone, and the zen-like beauty of Heller's Dog Stars. It is restorative, redemptive. How can this be a debut novel?
I'll admit 5 stars is generous. It takes a commitment to get going, and it is a gritty tough novel -- but it is worth it. Novels that still vibrate in you long after you finish them, or when you hear the title mentioned, are rare. This one is like a Steinbeck and McCarthy novel taped together, with a Guthrie and Springsteen soundtrack running through the pages.
**I will caution readers: the female characters here range from meth-head child abusers to full blown mental cases that murder their whole families, with nothing in between but prostitutes and hard-boiled backwoods ignoramuses. If you are looking for the positive female pillar of righteousness...wrong book.
Finally, I was curious about Guthrie's patriotic anthem "This Land Was Made For You and Me". Inspired to read the lyrics, I found the Dustbowl Balladeer's original verses -- which aren't contained in the song we learned back in elementary school:
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
In the squares of the city,
In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry,
I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?
"F-ing Funny and Factual"
After using every tactic in our arsenal to solve the problem of 6 piles of dog excrement that dotted our front lawn like landmines and greeted us each morning when we opened the front door, I purchased this book. When I say every tactic, I mean from calling the city, animal control, stuffing mailboxes with fliers quoting the city ordinances regarding responsible pet ownership, posting a sign in the middle of our yard (with attached plastic bags) imploring neighbors *PLEASE clean up after your dog!* (or horse?), and even doing night recon with our old lame bulldog, an airsoft gun and a spotlight. By the time I had to resort to a ludicrous, tacky, ridiculous, sign pleading with people to pick up their pet's poop from our manicured lawn, we had already had the F-bomb blitzkrieg behind closed doors, and were at the point of standing in our flower beds screaming like crazy people at any one that even walked by our house, including children on tricycles. Having to clean up after a pack of assorted sized dogs with assorted diets every effing morning, will do that to you -- even you gentle folk that think the F-bomb is the ultimate no-no spewed only from those with mouths like a sewer pipe. Did I get an answer? Yes and no; but I definitely laughed and lowered my blood pressure.
Alkon, who writes a syndicated advice column, actually offers some really good advice dealing with the tangles we get into living and working with those people that don't give a F*CK -- the ones that really need this book. The problems she tackles head-on include those not even on the horizon until the advent of electronics and social media, including how to re-act when you receive a text accompanied by a picture of an acquaintance's "zipperwurst". She is hilarious, clever, considerate, and grounded; but mostly she is blunt and fearless, empowering the reader to throw their shoulders back and take some power when dealing with any form of boorish, rude, impolite, inconsiderate, discourteous, insolent, people you still have to see every day. And sometimes she gives examples where the offender actually takes responsibility and ends up apologizing!
Like she says, you can be aggressive without being hostile. But it is a fine art facing an offender of civility if you don't have any desire to surround your property with an electrical razor wire fence, find a new job, or change churches after flipping the middle finger to a driver that cuts you off and realizing it was your Pastor. I don't want to stand out in my yard giving passer-by's the stink-eye, or hurling words my grandmother said, "only make you look unintelligent;" but neither do I want to keep a garbage can full of stinky dog poop in my garage until garbage day. I'm not holding my breath until I hear... "we're so sorry our Great Dane has been using your lawn as his toilet!" But, I do feel fortified with the might of right, the responsibility to live with civility and dignity, and the duty to enforce, with kindness, good manners. Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Alkon tells you how to begin that quest...and does it with terrific style and humor.
"Buckle Up!"
"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win." Stephen King
The SK Phenomenon...I love to read the reviews of ardent fans that jump in there immediately for King, almost hear the excitement in their words -- so I always hold off and just enjoy the opinions a few days before I put in my 2 cents (?the cents key?!). You'll find a review here to fit your own feelings for Mr. Mercedes. With an author like King, doesn't it come down to we "like him dammit! we really like him!" Most people even enjoy the King books they didn't particularly like. He releases a book and there is a communal feeling amongst readers of all genres, almost holiday-like. Even my sister, the PhD librarian, gets excited and comes down from her snooty literary stratosphere to read (and enjoy) Stephen King.
Mr. Mercedes is a section of newly paved road on King's journey into the realm of crime thrillers. One that proves his belief that monsters are real, and goes on to tell how those seeds are planted and nurtured into monstrously tortured and demented souls. Brady Hartsfield is that monster in full bloom, manipulated by a mother that is akin to a demented bonsai artist, twisting and clipping a little boy until he grows into the dark expression of her own evilness, who reasons he has a license to kill.
King captures and animates our Americana culture into a horribly fun mise en scène: gated mansions, bustling neighborhoods packed with kids running after ice cream trucks; codger-esque neighbors that think aliens walk amongst us and bake nasty ingredients in cookies just for sh__s and giggles; rich eccentric ladies with perfectly observed mannerisms; and behind lowered blinds, a lonely divorcée and retired detective ("ret det"), Bill Hodges, mourning his days of purpose, with a pistol in one hand and pop tart in the other. You can picture it -- like a Norman Rockwell painting/nightmare from the rich imagery King lays down. But before you can imagine chirping birds and dogs barking (or at least one dog that narrowly escapes a dish of special Hamburger Helper), the ice cream turns to you-know-what. King pits the young killer against Det. Hodges and another young teen on-the-verge-of-manhood. The detective recruits his Harvard-bound lawn boy ("don't call him boy") to help track down L'enfant terrible Mercedes. It's younger generation against younger generation with a veteran at the wheel.
Some of the biggest squirm-inducing moments come not from the heinous acts themselves (from baby slaughter to incest), but from the ease with which King makes you a voyeur...that smiley face / "ew gross" look that this author extorts out of his readers; he makes us all mutineers to ourselves. Plot-shmot...this is just top tier fun.
"There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad..."
"Macaroni Guts vis-à-vis Fear, Itself"
A 3* novel that entertains like a 5*novel.
Bird Box captures Audrey Hepburn's helpless groping in Wait Until Dark, the gripping uncertainty of Algernon Blackwood's, The Willows, and the gruesome self-mutilation of M. Night Shyamalan's, The Happening; three stories with the shared conceit of the fear from what we can not see. Remember being blindfolded and led through a haunted house -- a bowl of peeled grapes becomes eyeballs, dried apricots are withered ears, and a tub of cold spaghetti in oil passes for guts? The limited senses, the power of suggestion, and Fear, itself at work.
Malerman uses the ancient fight-or-flight response as a tool as much as he does the language, creating a novel that might challenge those two instincts that are the embodiment of fear. With no visual accounts, other than a few before the you-don't-know-what hits the fans and a few seconds of blind folds off in the house, the book is lights-out experiential, dependent on the narrator, Malorie. She tell us what is happening without the What, Why, Where, or How details and processing -- kind of gut reaction narration .There is also little revealed about the characters Malorie lives with for 4 years, so we don't get much about the Who's either. But Malerman keeps the tension relentlessly taut and in the moment, necessitating the remaining senses that feed your *mind's eye* operate in hyper mode.
In 1938, Orson Welles gave one of the best demonstrations of this whole conceit when on the eve of Halloween he presented, via Mercury Theater on the Air, a radio drama, The War of the Worlds. The resulting mass hysteria sent hundreds of national guardsmen reporting for duty at local armories, and possibly as many as a million people fleeing into the night, believing that invaders from Mars had laid waste to New Jersey and were headed west. While this is a great pulse-raising gimmick for a short story, the sensory deprivation of this delivery become evident in the hours it takes for a novel to play out. We never know the origin of the entity, there are no witnesses, there is never a description of a malevolent creature; we can't even build an entity (it's a little like getting hit in the head in the dark). If an author is going to rely on me and my imagination to fill in the big blanks, he also has to work with me and my ruminations -- and mine were thinking increasingly outside Malerman's claustrophobic little box until it burst open. His story trickled down to -- it can't hurt you if you can't see it -- and that kind of squashed the drama. But, just in time, the story comes to an abrupt end, blindfolds off, pulse normalized, imaginations on cruise.
I have to give this a high recommendation. It's Twilight Zone, Outer Limits fun; if that's your genre, don't miss this. Whether you come away with praise or disappointment, you are almost certain to enjoy getting there. Bird Box is a "you just have to be there" kind of read, and it is especially effective listening to the story. (The narration is good, nothing stands out as annoying or noteworthy.) One of those that will keep you ear-bud bound from start to finish.

This. Is. Awesome.
YouTube Description: Will It Crush? DO THIS WITH ME. Enter here by Friday and I will see you soon: http://www.omaze.com/Arnold.This idea came from Reddit, so I want to give credit where credit is due. Specifically, it came from "ipeeinyourshower" who has better taste in video ideas for charity than usernames. Thank you for sharing! Enjoy, everybody.
Yes! :)
Which was your favorite 'crush'?
I gotta go with, "I'm 66 years old and I've saved every one of my birthday cakes..."
The Million Dollar Baby DVD crush was a close second, because I remember weeping like a little, girly man in the theater watching that one. Crush it good!!!
Side note: Love that he gave credit to the username with the original idea, even though the mastermind had a ridiculously absurd name.

"You seen that Noa Deane kid?" "What do you think about Noa Deane?" "How good does that Noa Deane surf?" Noa Deane… Noa Dean… Noa Deane…
If I had a dollar for every conversation that involved the talents of Noa Deane on the Gold Coast earlier this year, I could have bought… a coffee… maybe two. Still, that's a lot of talk about one 17 year-old kid considering that the whole pro-surfing world had collectively just invaded the Gold Coast for the Quiksilver Pro.
The questions on the lips of most I spoke to were in reference to the longevity of such a young talent, and whether or not he could go the distance in the big, wide surfing world. The short answer in my humble opinion is yes – the long one starts here.
'Bramp, Bramp Bramp.' An iPhone alarm screams at me to get up – 'It can't be six already,' I moan. I'd organised to spend today with Noa to check out how he operates.
I jump into a car with Shane, Noa's filmer, and strum his out-of-tune guitar as loud as I can as we drive up the hill to the Deane's in Coolangatta – with the windows down, I figure if I have to be awake, so should everyone else.
The sun has risen just enough to make out a shitty, overcast day as we pull into the driveway where Noa's supposed to be waiting for us and sure enough, he's not. Shane dials his phone… it rings out. Not even a few out-of-tune bars of Stairway To Heaven are enough to rouse anyone from the house.
Shane and I agree it's too early to be chasing grommets and retire to the nearest coffee shop for a hit of caffeine and regroup. As we arrive though, the phone rings, Noa's finally risen from the dead and agrees to shout breakfast instead.
"Eggs Bene?" a waitress asks as we walk into Scooterini Café where they seem to know Noa by name and breakfast order. A few minutes later he is mopping up the last bit of egg yoke with his bread. Shane and I had barely finished shaking salt onto ours.
It wasn't that long ago that Noa was a short, rakey, blonde mop of hair that circled between Snapper Rocks and Greenmount all day long. Now, he's a lot bigger, wider – stronger and his mop's been cropped to a more precise bowl.
When I'd last hung with the grommet, he was recovering from a torn lateral meniscus. He spent six months out of the water and half that not even able to walk. By chance Noa was sponsored by a local pizza shop and had free pies available to him all day long – he'd order several shepherds-pie pizzas a week and spent his time getting well acquainted with his Xbox. In the six months he was out, Noa grew about a foot taller and around 15 kilos heavier. It didn't take him long to find his feet again, albeit with bigger, thicker boards and a whole lotta power.
We pull up on the grass at D-Bah – Snapper is thick with pros, cameras and Red Bull girls and Noa's not interested. It's howling southerly, but there is the odd wedge off the south wall and there are surprisingly few bodies in the water.
"A few punt sections," I mutter. "I'm so over airs lately," he replies and acknowledges the lack of wet rails in contemporary surfing. With that he pulls a 5'4" "Paddle Pop" from the boot of the car, it's more or less a disc with fins and with Noa standing at around 5'10, I have no idea how he'll ride it.
A few minutes later, Noa's burying rail and sending spray skyward on a right and any qualms I may have had about his ability to carve have been put to rest – the kid's the full package.
There's a lot of Dane mixed through Noa's surfing and it comes as no surprise when he later lists Dane as one of the few surfers he looks up to. Another is his old man, Wayne – notorious Gold Coast surfing legend and Australian Surfing Hall-Of-Famer.
Wayne's influence over his son is apparent throughout all aspects of his surfing and general outlook on life – Noa seems to have a mature understanding of the pro surfing circus and it's often arbitrary nature. On the Gold Coast you don't have to look very far to witness both the highs and the lows of the surfing machine. In fact, if you post up at a local surf club you'll often walk past framed photos of current champions whilst former ones sit beer-in-hand and blend hazily into the furniture. For up-and-coming Gold Coast surfers, it's a gleaming insight into their chosen profession and a warning that good things can often come to an end, and that it helps to have your finger in a few other pies.
I ask Noa if he's concerned.
"Surfing is not the be-all-and-end-all for me, I guess art and photography play a big role in my life as well and I also want to shape a lot more in the future."
Noa's recently just put pen to paper with Rusty and is working on where and how he fits. Freesurfing, contests – he'll do a bit of both for now, but his website noadeane.com is what's currently on his mind. His concerns centre around posting a mix of the right content, something that not only makes himself happy, but also accurately reflects his personality. He wants to basically create something that people will actually want to come back to. He takes a big hand in the website and is actively working with a filmer and posting his own artistic creations.
"Do you think it's difficult to stay relevant?" I ask him. He responds; "Am I relevant? I just do what I do."
What he does has attracted predicable cyber-hatred, with faceless bloggers pounding away at keyboards demanding social justice for anyone considered to be 'cool'. He is however unfazed by the vitriol and has simply removed himself from the Internet, concentrating instead on painting pretty pictures and adding to his growing collection of vintage cameras – pursuits that afford him endless creativity that bleeds through into his surfing.
Back at Snapper, Dane Reynolds holds a wildcard to the Quiksilver Pro. Noa hasn't been down to the contest yet, despite living about a kilometer away from it. Dane is the drawcard for Noa, so we wander over the hill to try and find a quiet seat around towards Froggies. Dane is surfing against Joel Parkinson and although Noa's grown up surfing with Joel, Dane's unpredictability is what's really grabbed his attention.
Predictably, Dane's unpredictability shines in the heat and Noa's fixated on Dane's approach to every wave, every turn, and every punt until the heat's end, like he's committing each of them to his brain for later use.
When Kelly Slater paddles out in the following heat, Noa's attention wanders back towards the Russian 35mm camera he's holding and he starts looking for angles and punches through a roll of film as we head back into town.
We meet up with Noa's girlfriend, Zoe for sushi and Noa plows through half a dozen plates before realising that the shrapnel in his pocket won't cover the bill. This pretty much sums him up. Noa Deane is wise beyond his years, he has surf savvy parents guiding his career and ensuring that the fun doesn't take a back seat, yet behind all the maturity, the style, cool, contracts and sushi bills, there is still a blonde-headed grommet from the Gold Coast who skates barefooted through town with little worry for what's happening in the world outside of Coolangatta, and the only thing dominating his agenda are waves.
My prboelm was a wall until I read this, then I smashed it.

text: The Brighton father who was denied a possible life-saving cancer treatment during the government shutdown will now receive the treatment.Mark Howell, 31, was diagnosed with stage-four melanoma just two weeks after his son was born about a year ago. The cancer has continued to grow and spread, and Howell's body is not responding to chemotherapy. Doctors are recommending an aggressive procedure to attack the cancer that is only available at the National Institute of Cancer in Maryland.The procedure is funded federally and became unavailable to Howell once the government shut down earlier this week."We were shocked," Howell's wife Christina tells Fox 2's Erika Erickson. Howell adds, "It was news to us when we found out that the place we were trying to go is now shut down, and not accepting new patients."Howell and his family were ready to move on to 'Plan B,' a procedure at a cancer facility in Houston that is still more aggressive than chemo, but less aggressive than the procedure available in Maryland. But now Howell's gleam of hope is back. After seeing Howell's story on Fox 2 Wednesday the community's support poured in. That night Congressman Mike Rogers sent a letter to the director of the National Institute of Health. "Within two hours of that letter supposedly going out I had a phone call from Dr. Rosenberg, who's the treating physician at NCI that we wanted to see," Howell says. Then Senator Debbie Stabenow even gave him a call. Howell and his wife describe the amount of concerns and support that poured in from fellow Fox 2 viewers: "Offering up advice, different treatment they're aware of, donations, just their prayers and thoughts, kind of all of the above. So it's been a very overwhelming few days for us in terms of support and love from everybody," Howell says. Howell has an appointment Tuesday at the NCI.

Saturday will mark the end of an era in Chicagoland, as 57 Dominick's stores across the area close their doors for the last time.
The grocery company is going out of business. Customers have been taking advantage of big sales as the grocer prepares to exit the market after posting losses in the millions. Fifteen of the 72 Dominick's locations in Chicago have been purchased by either Jewel-Osco or Mariano's, and will continue operating during the transfer.
In the past month, shoppers have cleaned off the shelves after Dominick's parent company, Safeway, offered deep discounts on merchandise. There hasn't been much to purchase at the Dominick's in Streeterville since the big sales, but employees kept reporting for duty and tried to stay positive as the final farewell approaches.
It's the biggest job layoff in Chicago in years, and it is especially emotional. The stores were communities where employees visited with customers weekly, watched families grow and saw neighborhoods change over the years. From the bakery to the deli to the checkout counter, many customers have come to call members of their local Dominick's staff family.
"It's sad really sad. Depressing. We love our customers," one employee told FOX 32 News. "A new year, something positive has to come out of this, stay positive, we are."
Management at the Streeterville grocery thanked customers for their patronage but most of all, their friendship.

RIR keeps both race weekends for 2013
Officials from Richmond International Raceway today announced that the track will continue to host two NASCAR weekends in 2013. The events will be held April 26-27 and Sept. 6-7, with the September Sprint Cup Series race again serving as the final race before the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (the circuit's playoff equivalent).
The total financial benefit to the region as the result of both weekends – each of which includes a Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series race – is more than $300 million, according to RIR officials.
"Bringing NASCAR back to Richmond International Raceway twice next year is huge for everyone in Greater Richmond," said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. "The money being pumped into our economy twice a year makes a big difference in the livelihood of the 1.3 million people who call Greater Richmond home. Hotels, restaurants, grocers and many other locally owned businesses will benefit when NASCAR flocks to RIR."
Tickets for the April NASCAR weekend go on sale Friday, Dec. 7. Fans who purchased tickets to this month's NASCAR weekend at RIR will be receiving renewal invitations in October. Guests who renew receive a savings on each ticket purchased, opportunity to keep their seats and may add or relocate seats before the general public.
For details, visit http://www.rir.com or call 1-866-455-7223.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

But the possessions in that trailer mean nothing, sweetie. You have your two darling babies, that's all you need. You get a fresh start at life and you'll do fine!I confess -- We made it to WY. There's alot more that I ended up typing in the Random confessions thread, and it kinda turned into a rant/vent so I'll just keep it short and simple by saying B is an idiot, and didn't even try to see the girls for christmas, or before we left.
I confess the thought entered my mind as I was driving behind my dad pulling the Uhaul of my belongings, How sad that all my possessions - for me, AND the girls fit in a 12x6 trailer, and don't even fill it.
I confess that when my brother and I were single and used to go out together (and he was still pretending to be straight) if a cute guy/girl came up and stood next to us at the bar, he'd say to me, "Have you talked to mom today?", so the guy/girl would know we weren't together. Well the other night he texted me with that phrase and I knew what he meant right away. I told him I missed those days and I missed him. We used to be together all of the time and now that I have settled down and had kids, we just never get to connect. So he texts me back that he doesn't understand why I can't have a life just because I have kids. I texted him back that my life is my kids and I just don't have the desire to go out and party anymore. I expected a snarky comment back but got nothing until about an hour later he texted me and told me the next time I get a chance I should drive over his way and we should go get mani/pedis, his treat.
It doesn't seem like a big deal but I have lost sleep over how much my relationship with him has suffered. He's been exhibiting extremely selfish and hurtful behavior lately. I know it's all a result of his insecurities and lonliness but it still sucks. It warms my heart that he is making this effort. I know a lot of it has to do with the fact that he got back together with his boyfriend. They are moving in together. I'm so happy for him. He's such an amazing wonderful man that just gets totally lost sometimes.
Wow, that was long! And probably boring. I'm just happy and wanted to share.
Aww, that's so sweet. I hope your relationship gets better.

Hi, I had HELLP in 2004 with my son who was born @ 30wk5d. Thankfully he was healthy and needed NICU only to finish growing. Now, 5 years later I'm having issues with c-reactive protein in my blood. I have unexplainable elevation. I tested borderline for Lupus but other than that there is no obvious reason for the elevation. I really believe that it has something to due with my pg. complications but I can't find anything on how HELLP may effect mothers long term. Has anyone else had health issues as a result of HELLP?
Thanks for your help!
Laura mom to ~Joey~ 11/9/00 placental clotting @ 20WK., ~Makaylin~ 2/19/03 placental clotting @ 23WK., Zachary born HEALTHY @30wk5d due to PE & HELLP, ~Ryley~ 8/15/07 placental clotting @ 20wk. despite fragmin & LDA therapy

No chance of that. He only eats what I pack him. He's pretty good about always asking if something is gluten free before he eats it.
I am still wondering if it's a reaction from the vax. Or scabies. Those are my best guesses.

I am still wondering if it's a reaction from the vax. Or scabies. Those are my best guesses.
Did the doctor suggest some childrens benedryl? That was the other thing that DH was told and he took just a few at first.
Hopefully it's just a reaction rash and goes away soon. My sister and I are prone to rashes....the vast majority of which we never figured out what caused them.
And NOT scabies.
I would try like Chrissy said and see if you can't get an appt to a derm now instead of waiting. They can sometimes be hard to get into.
Bridget, I wish I could contribute good advice about Kai's skin issues, but I feel unable to offer anything useful. I just hope it clears up for him soon so you can stop feeling so worried about it.
Chrissy, I tested positive for HPV (two of 30-something types of strains, if my memory serves me). I did cryo surgery once, and then had another abnormal pap where they did a LEEP proceedure to remove the cells. It's a worrisome time, for sure, but the good news is that it can clear completely. I have been tested for HPV twice since the last LEEP procedure 10 yrs ago, and they were negative ever since. I'm sorry that it sounds like you've been given a runaround by your MD.
Ash, I'm happy to read that things are falling into place for you!
Suja, I'm starting to read about Crossfit, and seeing some references to Tabata. Sounds intense! If I ever find a resource in my area where I might get to give it a try, I'll let you know how it goes.
Bridget, it sounds like you need a different doctor. A different POV wouldn't hurt.
Myles, you don't need a class or anything to do Tabata. You need an interval timer, of which there are lots of online even. Pick your exercises, and go-go-go for 20 seconds, stop for 10. Lather, rinse, repeat. Do 8 sets (4 minutes). Rest one minute, and do another set. I think that the DVD I use has 6 sets. Wipes me out completely. Examples of stuff to do includes kettlebell swings, push-ups, burpees, running in place, jumping jacks, tricep push-ups, jump squats, jump lunges, sumo squats, etc. Mix it up whichever way you want.
I have a doctor's appt. on Wednesday. The lady on the phone told me to pop some something sweet and head straight to the ER if my symptoms return in the interim. Mira has been complaining that her tooth hurts (she has a little bump of some sort on her tongue on that side), so maybe that's it, but she is due for a dental appt. anyway, so she's going in on Thursday. That ought to be fun.

You are right, Suja. I have to say that I am sick to death of dr's not having answers for me. Tonight i've been looking up the celiac disease rash and it also looks very similar to what Kai has going on. But I can't think of anything he ate different? Would vaccines cause that? Are they gluten free? lol. Is that a really stupid question? I want to call and see our regular dr because I really like him but then I sort of feel like I'm crazy sometimes thinking there HAS to be an answer whereas this dr we saw today is basically like, "I dunno. Try this cream." I wish I could find my camera and take a picture of it. I'm so sad for him.
What the heck is a burpee? My niece does crossfit. She has posted pictures of her blisters. ouch.
Ash, so glad you are enjoying your school and the boys are fitting into their routine.
Chrissy and anyone else with the scary HPV false positives. My last pap the PA told me my cervix was inflamed, like it was angry. I laughed at her description. But the results all came back normal. ?? Maybe the cervix is inflamed looking after childbirth. ??
Bridget, I am sending all kinds don't let it be scabies thoughts your way. Hope Kai feels better.
Where is Christina??
We had a good day around here. Gilly played in the yard in his kiddie pool, eating watermelon. Then he became the dreaded pool noodle monster. He puts the noodles on his arms and chases me around the yard. LOL! When he's at school the next 3 days I will be deep cleaning the house. Oh fun times.

I had an abnormal pap once in my early 20s. Haven't had another. That's so interesting about folic acid, Erin, as I have to take extra folic acid for my blood clotting issue. I wonder if that was the issue back then?
On the subject of HPV, just an FYI that anyone who has HPV during pregnancy should be aware that their child could be at higher risk for laryngeal papilloma. It's a form of HPV that settles in the trachea and can grow rapidly and obstruct the airway. Symptoms are a hoarse voice quality of sudden onset that isn't caused by a cold. That scares the crap out of me as it's pretty much the only speech disorder that in and of itself can be fatal. I always get nervous when I see a child with voice issues because I can't see what's going on in there and have to convince the parents to get it checked out by the doctor.
Bridget, I am so hoping you find the cause for Kai's rash and that it isn't scabies again!
The puppy has a name now, and he's settling in. He's a really good puppy.

Yes, where is Christina? It's been a while since I saw her post.
DH does crossfit. He started me on a program but I stopped after my last IUI just to be on the safe side. I like that you can scale it to an intensity that is right for you.

Mandy, keeping us in suspense for his name?
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Mandy, you can't just say that! What's his name?
Burpee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYfNA_lmkHM Traditionally, there is no push-up in there, but you can make it more challenging by adding it in.
We named him Marcus Aurelius (Marcus for short). Decided to continue with the Roman emperor theme since we started with Nero! Took a while to find one we liked, though ... Caligula? LOL
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I like it! I have a nephew named Marcus
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Lol! I was concerned that it was too much like a people name.
Gratuitous puppy pic of the day:
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I like the name too! I was wondering why you didn't say....teaser!
I posted pics of kai's rash in nm if anyone is even remotely as obsessed as I am with this.
Dbf is driving me insane the last few days. I hate it when it doesn't even feel like he's being a friend, you know? Like that is the very least I think I should expect. Be a pal!
Question for anyone on my Facebook: I shared DH's pic of the puppy with the comment "meet our new edition" as a way of announcing puppy on there, and his name was on that pic. NO ONE has replied other than my brother and sister, which I thought was odd. I'm wondering if none of you saw it? Brother and sister are both friends with DH and maybe he has his pics set to friends only?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I didn't see it! Just checked again and I don't see it.
He is so cute. Reminds me of the dog that my dad had, Reba. Well, she was the family dog but all of our dogs always loved my dad the best. She had that exact coloring but she was a mutt. Sweetest dog you could ever imagine. Even my mom loved her and my mom was a farm girl who thought dogs should live outside.
I think I need to re-announce, then!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I always name my pets people names lol
oh I love his puppy belly. So sweet.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Oh, and Suja I had a strange dream about you. I dreamed that you were really a Hollywood A-list actress using a phony identity to post here & be 'normal' without being hounded by crazy fans. I figured it out because I 'traced' a pic you'd shared back to your photobucket account and found a bunch that were supposed to be hidden but the password had been deleted or easy to guess (details sketchy here 'cause even in my dream I'm like 'ah-ha! it's supposed to be a hidden folder but I can access it!' derp). And in that hidden folder were tons of real pics with you with all these celebs. I was pissed in my dream because I'd just be in here trash talking a lot of them, and irl they were all your friends.
bwahahahaha!!!! Anyone care to poke holes into what that dream means? I think it means I have an active imagination :-) I don't even worry about celebs in my waking hours so it's strange to me that I'd dream about them.
LOL! Can I have an autograph, Suja? Or should I say... Ms. Jolie?
Mandy, animals with people names are my favorites.
Yes, definitely Ms. Jolie.
That's hilarious!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Okay, you got me. I hope I can still stay. After all, I have like a dozen kids, right?
Mandy, I love people names for dogs, as well.
Mandy he's so cute. And best off, sleeping! LOL Nothing like a sleeping puppy. And yeah I like people names for our furry babies. Technically I pulled Cosmo out of a baby name book...though it was on the boys side because I briefly thought she was a boy. And than I got my Molly. DH and I feel that they are people in furry suits.
He sleeps at pretty regular intervals so far. You aren't going to see me complain about it, either! I'm sure he'll sleep a lot less and destroy a lot more before we're done!
We have a big box (really an old cat bed) filled with dog toys and he knows those are all okay for him to chew on. Mostly he really focuses on those toys and he will go pull out a new one when he is bored. So glad we have all those toys! Some of them N and G have barely played with, too. Neither of them showed any interest in the nylabone but M seems to love it so we're encouraging that one.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Chrissy, I've always been of the opinion that there will be some sort of 'Mommy Dearest' type of book out of Jolie's kids. She was just really weird - blood drinking, creepy brother kissing and all.
Mandy, glad you're being realistic. He's really young, and in a new environment. The true personality will emerge after the honeymoon period is over.

Vidor authorities say a man is blessed to be alive after crashing his pickup into a church around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Police investigators say he was eastbound on Interstate 10, and lost control. They say he exited Main Street in Vidor at a high rate of speed, jumped the curb and went into the side of River of Life Church, which is located on the feeder road.
Authorities say the man told them, he started to feel ill, and apparently passed out.
Emergency crews had to cut him out of the truck, where he was trapped.
He was taken to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth in stable condition.
Church Pastor Jarod Parnell says the pickup crashed through a room that was being used as storage.
Pastor Parnell told 12News, "You know buildings and things can be replaced. Our prayers go out to the gentleman that was driving the truck. Don't know his status, but hopefully he is going to be okay. Insurance and time will take care of the church. I'm not worried about that."
Vidor Police Sergeant Mike Sanchez said, "My expectation would be a fatality...but you know to see him still alive you know he is lucky, he is very fortunate that he is still alive."

David Yurman uses color fearlessly, combining gemstones in unconventional ways to create truly distinctive and captivating palettes. "Fashion has color moments," he says, "but the reality for me is it's not about trends. There are moments when you want something soft and muted, and moments when you want something deep and rich. I like the idea of mixing colors that you don't often see together, which might feel a bit odd, yet the result is refreshing."
In the Waverly collection, David Yurman's iconic Cable design is reimagined to evoke a sculptural relief with a carved exterior and a smooth interior, fitting comfortably against the skin. The pieces are adorned with radiant cabochon or faceted stones bordered with sparkling pavé or smooth metal. The styles beautifully join color and texture for a look that is both playful and glamorous.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by gmena Worthwhile purchase I just bought my 2nd pair of these to replace the first pair I bought a few years ago. I wore them all the time, to the point where they were losing their massage nubs. I'm a petite and my shoes are usually size 4, cleats size 3.5, and I got these in a size 5 because I like the extra room around my toes & heel. Quality product, worthwhile investment. :) May 3, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nana of seven A favorite of the children Recently while in Orlando, I purchased 5 pair of Adidas Slides for my grand kids, big and small. They fit well because the strap can easily be loosened or tightened to make them comfortable. They come in different colors, white, pink and black, and black. The older girls love their colored ones and the boys their black. The bed of the sandals message the feet, which the big kids, in particular, love. March 17, 2013

- In Stock
5 reviews
- Delivery
This Tsarine Brut Champagne and Russian Doll Gift Tin brings an Eastern flavour to a classic indulgence.
Following a time where Russia's high society took an interest in French culture, France paid tribute in the form of Tsarine Champagne.
Its exclusively designed long, curved bottle is inspired by Russia's finest architecture, with even the label and colours drawing parallels with the decadent Russian dynasties.
Utterly flamboyant and truly unique, Tsarine is a perfect and original romantic gift with its lime blossom and lemon grass aromas and lighter notes of bitter orange and quince.
It comes in a delightful Russian Doll Gift Tin, ideal for keeping the bottle safe or presenting to someone as a gift for any occasion, and a colourful keepsake that will last long after the Champagne itself has been enjoyed.
Useful info:
- Tsarine Brut Champagne and Russian Doll Gift Tin
- Original gift idea
- Comes in a delightful gift tin
- Striking bottle design
Tsarine Brut Rose Champagne. Draped in ruby silk, a fine stream of fine bubbles envelops this rose champagne. Like some magical alchemy, aromas of wild strawberry, wheat and blackcurrant buds awaken the instinct of our senses. On the palate, body and finesse combine in red berry and cream notes. Gentleness and pleasure come together as one. 75cl.
Warning: Alcohol not to be sold to under 18 year olds.

"If someone were to tell me I had twenty years left, and ask me how I'd like to spend them, I'd reply 'Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams." - Luis Buuel
Dear Lauri,
I dreamed last night I was in labor and found out I was almost ready to give birth to a seahorse! My dear friend was sitting in a glass room there for support and a woman was saying it was time to deliver then I woke up. - Kimberly 43, Myrtle Beach, SC
This is an adorable dream! It seems to suggest that you are on the verge of bringing something new into your life... something that, like a baby, needs lots of your focus and care. The seahorse is a clue as to what it is. Seahorses live in the water so that tells us this could be an emotional or creative project as water tends to symbolize our emotions as well as our creative flow. Horses are typically about getting back in the saddle after life knocks you down. Any creative endeavor about to happen that has allowed you to pick yourself up and dust yourself off? I think it is especially interesting that at the end of the dream you are told it's time to deliver. Whatever you are told in a dream is super important because it is really what YOU are telling yourself. "Time to deliver, girl!" Time to put up or shut up, as they say. Bring forth what you have been developing and deliver it to the world.
Kimberly replies: I have had many projects lately that are on the brink of happening. Plus I have been really working on myself altogether from Yoga to meditation. My mind has been so much clearer ever since I started going to yoga class and my whole life is starting to be showing the rewards. I just had an offer to do a line of clothing. So much is happening and I am loving how creative I am feeling.
