Chapter 18 The Big Picture
tidied up the living room one more time, fluffing the throw pillows and
then flattening them in turn. Mick watched from the kitchen as he
sipped a glass of fresh A+. She was nervous because Heroku had
requested to speak with her and while Mick could understand her nervous
energy, he had still urged her to just relax. Lot of good it did he
thought as she was rearranging the bowl of green apples.
knock on the door caused her to jump and then push a stray strand of
hair behind her ear. Mick set the empty glass into the sink and ran a
bit of water in it and went to stand with her as she looked at the
viewer to see if it was Heroku.
"It's going to be fine baby, just relax."
gave him a faint nod and opened the door, greeting Heroku with a
nervous nod and stepping aside so that he could enter the loft.
stepped in and smiled warmly at the young couple. Beth was very
curious by her scent but she was also a bit afraid and he wondered why?
He supposed it was the situation in general and dismissed it.
was so much he would like to tell her, but he was not free to do so.
He would like to tell her that the thirteen never die, that they have
amazing psychic abilities and that her life, and that of Mick's, would
be very different than what they had thought perhaps. Instead, he bowed
to her and looked around their home.
The loft where they lived
was a sleek and modern space; it fit Mick's personality well but he
somehow didn't see this as being Beth's style at all. However, looks
could be deceiving he knew.
"Please Heroku, come in and have a seat," Beth offered. "Would you care for a drink?"
"Thank you Beth, I do not require anything to drink but I will sit down. You are both well?"
- yes, fine. We're uh, fine." She followed Heroku into the living room
and sat down on the couch after he had taken a seat across from it.
do you need to speak with Beth privately?" Mick asked since Heroku was
very formal today and while he didn't want to leave her he felt he had
to ask.
"No, please Mick, you are most welcome to be here as well."
Mick said, sitting beside Beth on the couch and taking her hand in his.
Her hand was a bit clammy and he could feel it trembling slightly and
gave it a reassuring squeeze.
Heroku leaned back in the chair,
crossing his legs in an elegant and fluid movement, seemingly very
relaxed. Beth admired that economy of motion, vampire gracefulness at
its best. She wondered if she'd ever feel like she could move like
"Beth, I have spoken with someone from the thirteen. They
will be sending someone eventually to speak with you and to take a
genetic sample."
"The thirteen?" she asked, curious.
themselves they are known as the thirteen instead of the Children of
the Moon. There are thirteen of them, the original thirteen."
"But you said that you aren't one of them. Why do you refer to them as the thirteen?"
"Habit I suppose. As a guardian I am indulged in certain ways."
brain was clicking a mile a minute and Mick smiled as he watched her.
No telling what she might ask him he thought as he sat back with a
"So what can you tell me about them? The thirteen I mean."
very little I'm afraid. They tell their own stories and each story is
unique and different. They are for the most part secluded, although not
all of them live that way. They are varied in their interests, skills
and pursuits."
"Such as?" Beth prompted.
"One is a
historian, one a lawyer, one a physician. They have a peacekeeper, an
archivist, and a mother hen. Among others. They meet four times a year
on the solstices and equinoxes. This year it will be December 21.
They will discuss my petition for examination of your attributes at that
"You have to petition these people?" she scoffed. "I'm
not sure I want to be involved with them. It sounds like some sort of
cult to me."
Heroku smiled inwardly and chose his words
carefully. "In some ways they are that Beth, although not in the usual
way as painted by society. They are the original vampires but I cannot
say more about that. They are a very eclectic society and have rules
that they live by, but not in any rigid way. Each of them lives their
own life, mostly separate from the others. But they are very cohesive
in their thoughts and I must ask you to indulge me in this because they
have much they could teach you. Your life will be enhanced by their
presence in it."
"So I just put my life on hold and sit back and
wait for another what," she mentally noted the date, "Another 6 weeks
roughly? What am I supposed to do in the meantime?"
"Live your life; you have no restrictions."
"Who is coming to check me out?"
do not know as I wasn't informed of that. I am assuming they will
communicate with one another and determine whom that person will be.
You have no reason to fear them."
"So if these are the original
vampires why doesn't anyone know of their existence, except for a rare
few? Why don't they govern the vampires and lead them?" Mick asked,
very curious.
"That is not their function; not what their
creation was for. It is not for them to interfere with the lives of
vampires. There will always be bad people, vampires and human alike and
it is not their place to intervene."
"Well, maybe they should!"
Mick exclaimed. "If they did maybe things like what happened to me
wouldn't have happened. Maybe monsters like the Duvall's and others
wouldn't rampantly create vampires from people who had no wish to be
Heroku looked at Mick sadly; he couldn't address that
statement, much as he wanted to. The only answers to that would come
from the thirteen. "Mick, I can only tell you that my life has been
enhanced from my knowledge and involvement with them. As Beth's husband
and sire you will also likely be trained to be a guardian and from that
many changes will come to both of you."
"Guardians of what?" Mick asked, almost yelling. "You said they don't really do anything, so what they hell do you guard?"
secrets, the origins. The power of it all Mick. Please trust me.
Wait for them and see what they will tell you." He stood up, ending the
conversation. "Beth, I must remind you that the full moon is in a few
days. I am happy to offer you Kenji again if you haven't made other
arrangements. I must take my leave now. If you truly have no wish to
proceed let me know and I'll inform them. You are not forced to be
involved in all this." He bowed to Beth again and walked to the front
door, followed closely by Mick.
"If this situation or those
people hurt her in any way Heroku, no one will be able to hold me back.
You should know that." His words were punctuated by a growl and
fiercely glowing eyes.
Heroku dipped his head in acknowledgment
and to hide a smile. The young one would make an excellent guardian.
When he raised his head his eyes showed only acceptance at Mick's words.
"Of course. I understand."
Mick shut the door behind him,
astounded by the conversation they had just had. He sat back down on
the couch with Beth and wrapped an arm around her, wondering what kind
of crazy they were involved in.
Beth had a pensive look on her
face as she contemplated the conversation. She knew instinctively how
different she was, even from Mick. She needed guidance and Mick
probably couldn't help with the things he had no experience of. She
thought about telling him about her ability to 'see' him but decided
against it right now. She was going to tell him eventually but right
now he was seething with anger from the things that Heroku had said.
Right now she concentrated on sending out peaceful vibes and she felt
Mick start to relax next to her. Something else she was good at it
seemed. Heroku hadn't said but she'd bet that the thirteen had a good
deal of psychic ability. She needed to know how to control it and focus
on the right things and for that she needed their help.
suppose I need to contact Josef to see if we can find a freshie for
you." Mick tried not to let his unrest over it all get to him but it
was hard.
"What? A girl?" she teased. At the guilty look on his
face she told him, "It doesn't matter to me Mick you know. I think you
are more comfortable if I feed from a woman so I'm okay with that."
Another thought occurred to her and she spoke up, letting her thoughts
be known. "You know Mick, it's something that I have to do; we can't
stop it. But it wouldn't hurt you to feed fresh once a month either.
We're drinking fresh and that is great but we're also vampires Mick and
there is no denial of the need for fang on flesh."
"No, I can't
Beth…I just can't. You sound more like Josef every day," he said,
obviously distressed. "You have to and I accept that. I'll contact
Josef and make arrangements. I'm sure he knows who I need to set up an
arrangement with."
"Okay, but I was sincere Mick; it would do you some good too." His frown said it all. Well, maybe next month she decided.
and Cami pulled into the drive at Heroku's house and stopped in front
of the gate. A guard saw Cami and waved them through and as they drove
through the grounds Carl felt as if he were in another place totally.
"I think we've left Los Angeles," he joked.
"You have no idea,"
Cami answered, looking around her. She had seen it all many times and
enjoyed the lush growth of trees and flowers, fountains and small hidden
rock sculptures in the gardens. It was very relaxing to walk through
the grounds and she agreed that it felt like an entirely different
The drive twisted and wound through the grounds until
finally the house was exposed and Carl thought it looked like a perfect
Japanese post card. "Wow, I'm impressed. Right here in LA!"
"Yes, it's almost as nice as the house outside of Tokyo."
slipped her a sideways glance and shook his head in amazement. "That
must really be something." This house was in the hills, an hour outside
of LA and seemed very removed from the hustle of town.
"It is,"
she told him as he pulled the car to a stop in front of the house. As
soon as he stopped the car and turned the ignition off a man dressed in a
suit appeared to open his door, an unexpected gesture that momentarily
startled Carl since he didn't even see where they guy came from.
thanks," he mumbled and headed around the car to open Cami's door for
her, reaching a hand towards her to assist her out of the car. "The
bags are in the trunk," he said when he realized the guy was preparing
to move the car.
"Of course Mr. Davis." He popped the trunk open
and pulled the two cases out and added, "Someone will come out to get
your bags and put them in your room. Please feel free to head into the
house." With that he was gone with the car around the side of the
The house was large and definitely looked as if it was
sitting in Japan as opposed to Los Angeles. It had the Asian style
peaked roofs and seemed to sprawl to some degree but the landscape
disguised that a good deal. As they approached the porch the front door
was open and they stepped through and Carl immediately felt as if he
had stepped into another world. Cami had told him that he would need to
remove his shoes and that slippers would be provided so he slipped his
loafers off and smiled when a small Japanese woman of indeterminate age
handed him a pair of comfortable looking slippers.
Cami bowed to
her and the woman did the same in response before bowing to Carl. He
hurriedly returned the gesture, not sure if he was supposed to or not
but it seemed to be an honorary thing.
"Konbanw, Akimi," Cami greeted the woman with a smile.
"Youkoso irasshai mashita," Akimi said as she welcomed them to Heroku's home.
walked into the room, dressed in the Japanese fashion of a kimono,
which Carl found out was worn by men as well as women. Heroku held his
hand out in greeting to Carl and again welcomed them to his house.
"Please, let Akimi show you to your rooms and then come downstairs for
Upstairs Akimi led them each to rooms that were next door
to one another. Inside the room Carl looked around him in appreciation.
It was an unadorned room for the most part, very simple and ultimately
relaxing he decided. He picked up his bag and sat it on the low bed
and unzipped it and almost jumped as the wall behind it moved and Cami
stood smiling at him, which quickly turned to a laugh as she realized
how she had startled him.
"Wow," he said, shaking his head in surprise.
"Yes, convenient isn't it? Actually, you'll find that many walls in Japanese homes slide aside, to open up the rooms."
inspected the wall that was really more of a sliding door and realized
that the 'wall' was actually more like a heavy paper material. "Not
much privacy here I guess," he joked, thinking that obviously you could
probably hear everything through these walls. It's a wonder that
Japanese parents ever had any children because the kids would know
exactly what Momma and Daddy were doing. That would take getting used
to for sure.
"Come on, let's head downstairs," she told him, holding out a cool hand for him to grasp.
looked around him suddenly feeling out of place, like he was visiting a
foreign country and he realized not only did he not know the language
he also didn't know the customs. "Cami, is there anything else I need
to know? I'm feeling a bit confused right now."
She leaned up
and wrapped her arms around him before kissing him longingly and
sweetly. "You are fine. Heroku doesn't expect you to know the customs.
Some you will pick up and others you won't. I've told you all the
important things to remember but even if you forget something it's okay.
Are you ready?"
Carl followed Cami downstairs to a room that
looked much like a dining room except that the table was low to the
ground and cushions were placed around it. Heroku immediately stood to
welcome them and bid them to be seated.
As Carl sat he heard his
knee pop and knew that his vampire companions had heard it as well. Too
many years of running 3-5 miles a day and rigorous exercise had taken
its toll but it was too late to worry about it now. He watched as two
Japanese women entered the room each carrying a tray bearing various
accoutrements for tea as well as a plate of small items that might be
cookies he decided. They sat it on the table and took seats on the
cushions, on their knees he noticed.
"Carl, this is Yumi and Gia
who will be performing the tea ceremony for us. It is a tradition in
Japanese households and this one is meant to welcome you. The tea
ceremony is very old and associated formally with the Buddhist
Carl watched the graceful movements of the process; a cake of green tea called matcha was placed into the chawan (tea bowl) and blended with steaming water using a whisk type instrument called a chasen. It was added to individual tea bowls and served after it was blessed by Heroku.
plate of confections was placed before Carl and he smiled and bowed his
head to thank Yumi. She blushed prettily which meant that she wasn't
vampire, something that surprised him. After the tea was served both
Yumi and Gia left the room, allowing the three some privacy.
asked Cami to tell the history of the tea ceremony and she did so with
ease. This was clearly a tradition she was familiar and comfortable
with. In fact she seemed totally at ease in this house and Carl
realized it was because she spent a good deal of time here, or in
similar places in Tokyo.
After the tea was finished and Carl had
eaten his confections which were strangely delicious, a combination of
sweet and savory and very appealing Heroku asked Cami to excuse them as
he rose to his feet and asked Carl to accompany him to the gardens.
ducked her head in acknowledgment and didn't look concerned at all so
Carl tried to relax as they strolled through the grounds. They were
laid out well, twisting and turning past fountains and statuary which
made the garden seem secluded and much larger than it actually was. The
scents of various flowers filled the air and Carl caught the sounds of
various birds as they sang and chirped in the trees and vegetation.
was cool outside, being up in the hills and late October it was to be
expected. Finally they came to a bench near a fountain shaped like a
lotus blossom and Heroku took a seat and invited Carl to join him.
Well, this was it Carl knew. Whatever was on Heroku's mind would be spoken of now.
"Carl, it is time to speak of the future -specifically your future regarding Camille."
this was the 'what are your intentions to my daughter' conversation.
Carl respected that; he knew that Cami thought of Heroku as a father so
he relaxed a bit. When he addressed Heroku it was in the honorary
"Heroku-san, I love Camille very much. I have every intention of taking care of her and being with her - forever."
looked down briefly, as slight frown crossing his face. This was what
he wanted to hear from the young man but did he understand the
ramifications of forever, truly understand?
"You wish to be turned?"
"Yes, I do."
"You understand that there is no road back Carl? You can only move forward and accept all that comes your way."
do understand that Heroku-san. Camille and I have spoken of it, of my
desire to join her. However, we have never discussed the actual
"Hai, I understand." Heroku paused for a moment as if
gathering his thoughts. "I do not believe that Camille's tender heart
could allow her to do this. Turning, the vampires bite is a birth, a
path to a different existence, but it is also a mortal death. When the
time comes I will turn you Carl; Camille will be with you to support
those needs that I cannot perform. You will feel very emotional and
your body will require frequent connection with her."
thought about that and it finally occurred to him that Heroku was
speaking of sex - that newly turned vampires had a strong need for
sexual connection with their mates. "I understand Heroku-san. I would
be greatly honored if you would be my sire." He bowed his head slightly
in thanks.
"Carl, to survive in our world you must be a warrior.
You are a fit and active man but I will train you in the ancient way of
the samurai and martial arts. Camille must always be protected. We
will start this training before you are turned because that will
interrupt your training processes."
"I would feel very grateful and will accept and master all that you can teach me."
It is decided then. Tonight I will begin to teach Camille of the
vampire's bite, a skill I have long neglected as she had no desire to
learn. That was a mistake on my part and I will remedy it. You will
both learn the ways of the vampire kiss together and it will be an
enjoyable lesson, I promise you." For the first time Heroku smiled and
it made his eyes sparkle.
Carl not only respected this man, but he liked him as well. Life from here on would take on a new meaning entirely.
walked up the stairs, thinking over the lesson she had just experienced
with Heroku. He was a patient and kind instructor and she'd made good
progress but tomorrow would be the test because she had to actually feed
fresh for the first time and the thought still scared her.
had learned that the fang in skin was actually very pleasant and she had
also learned that when a vampire bit their mate in sex that it wasn't
really about drinking a lot of their blood, only enough to satisfy the
need for connection. She knew it would be amazing. One part of the
conversation still had her brain on overdrive though.
"Father, is it this bite that mates us?"
"It is a part of it, my daughter. When he asks for your blood in return and drinks, then you are mated in the vampire way."
"You mean when he is a vampire too?"
necessarily. When humans have met their vampire mate they
instinctively crave the connection of the blood. He will ask, you
should not worry of such things."
So Carl would ask to drink her
blood? She thought of that for a moment as she entered her room. The
thought of that made her feel strangely warm and tingly; a feeling she
wasn't used to. Mates? They would be mates…
She prepared to
shower, achingly aware that Carl lay on the other side of the thin wall.
He wasn't asleep because she heard soft rustlings as he moved in the
bed. She closed her eyes and scented the air and the pure sexual need
of him was apparent even with her inexperience. She hurried into the
shower, trying to clear her head.
Carl had heard Cami come into
her room and wondered how her lesson had gone with Heroku. God, he
needed her so badly. He wanted her and couldn't wait to show her just
how much. He stood up by the bed and slipped a robe on over his naked
body and stood next to the sliding wall. He heard the shower going and
knew that she was only 20 feet away from him. His arms ached to wrap
around her tiny body and hold her close. He leaned his forehead against
the solid wood frame and placed a hand on the panel, wishing it were
her skin.
Cami stepped out of the shower and hurriedly dried off.
She was drawn to the wall and suddenly knew that Carl was just on the
other side of it. She could hear his rapid heartbeat and the shaky
breaths he was trying to control. She slid the panel open and looked
into his beautiful brown eyes before pulling his mouth down for a kiss.
Carl was startled to be dreaming of her one moment and in her arms the
next he didn't let it stop him. His tongue traced her lips gently
asking for entrance into the sweetness of her mouth and she opened
herself to him like the most precious flower. He drank her nectar
hungrily, every satisfying stroke of his tongue weakening him a bit
Finally he drew back, trying to catch his breath and it
suddenly occurred to him that she didn't have anything on. Her body was
illuminated by the faint moonlight streaming in the windows and he
caught the puckered pink petals of her nipples and his mouth went dry as
he ached to taste them.
"Cami, we can't do this here, not like this," he told her, kissing her again, even though he knew he shouldn't.
Carl. I want you, I need you!" She felt his heated length peeking
through his parted robe and she grasped him with her small hand,
thrilling to the velvety softness of his skin.
He pulled his
mouth from hers and it left him feeling so alone, bereft of what he
needed most and then stepped back away from her. "Cami, I feel the same
way, but not here," he told her, thinking of the paper-thin walls.
"When we make love, girl, I don't want to have to be thinking about who
can hear us. I just can't here Cami."
She smiled and reached out
a finger and traced his beautiful lips. She did understand that, but
she wanted him so. "Can we just lie together, for just a little bit?"
if I get you in that bed we aren't likely to come up for air for
awhile. No, we can't. You go and get in that freezer of yours and
let's just get through the rest of this weekend, okay? But very soon
Camille, you are mine," he told her, placing a quick kiss on her lips
and then stepped back.
She nodded and looked sad. It was the
last thing he saw as he slid the wall closed, hating the fact that she
wasn't in his arms.
To be continued…

LOL, so this is my new tattoo.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Awww come on, no one appreciates this?
What is it?
Sent from my Droid
After further review, this is only a picture of a tatoo, not anything that can be deemed unacceptable. While it is on the middle finger, It is not being used in a derogatory way. So I am restoring this thread.
Moved to Off Topic !!
Thanks Jim!!!!
@Apprazer, its a tattoo on my finger. Its a finger puppet. There will be two more added to the fingers beside it so its a bit unfinished as of now.
This is what it will look like when its done.

is that real? It looks just like pen ink to me. You do know, if it is real, it will be there the rest of your life right?
Mine or the picture i gave to show what it will look like? Yes the first PIC is real and is my finger. The 2nd is a pic of what im going for when its finished.
As far as it being there the rest of my life I would be fine with that, however with hand and foot tattoos they dont stick very well so it will have to be touched up several times.

Wits to clever for the Dube Birds
Bidvest Wits increased their unbeaten run to seven matches when they edged out Moroka Swallows 2-1 in their Absa Premiership encounter on Wednesday evening at the Bidvest Stadium.
Lefa Tsutsulupa thought he had cancelled out Getaneh Kadebe's goal, only to see Sibusiso Vilakazi score the winner in the final minute of stoppage time.
The home side welcomed the Dube Birds on the back of a six match unbeaten run, while, in contrast, the visitors had procured just one win in five encounters.
Wits came out with their guns blazing at the first whistle. Sthembiso Ngcobo got the better of Roger Da Costa, ran towards the box and floated in a cross that Jabu Shongwe turned straight onto the crossbar.
Calvin Kadi came close to turning the ball into the back of the net when the ball fell to him near the penalty spot on nine minutes, but Greg Etafia charged him down inside the box to push it out for a corner.
The Clever Boys were certainly dominating the early stages of the game and they saw another chance fired at goal go to waste when Papy Faty sent his effort flying over the bar eight minutes later.
Just before the half hour Ngcobo drew a great save from Etafia. The towering striker cut in from the flank and fired a powerful effort which forced the keeper into making a two-handed save at the near post.
Towards the conclusion of the half Gavin Hunt's side created two opportunities through Shongwe and Sibusiso Vilakazi, but both failed to find the back the net.
The home side started off in the same fashion as they ended the first, by attacking, and this time it was Ngcobo who threatened with a header straight down the middle and into the arms of Etafia.
Kadi then drilled his shot just wide of the post in the 54th minute, while Zeca Marques threw Lerato Chabangu and Luvhengo Mungomeni onto the park.
Then, in the 68th minute, Moeneeb Josephs pulled off a great save to deny Moroka Swallows off a set-play, pushing out Chabangu's set-piece for a corner kick.
Swallows started to apply more pressure as the game drew on and it saw Rudi Isaacs sting the side netting of Josephs' goal midway through the second-half.
Wits broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute when Getaneh Kadebe, who came on as a substituted, turned the ball into the back of an empty from Vilakazi's cross.
Kadebe had the ball in the back of the net again, but it was ruled out for offside, and few could have predicted what was to unfold in the final minutes of the match.
Swallows welcomed a late equalizer from Lefa Tsutsulupa, who drilled home on the half-volley in stoppage time, but Wits snatched the victory in 93rd minute through Vilakazi. The skipper drove home a low ball to wrap up a crucial three points.
Bidvest Wits: (0) 2 (Getaneh 83', Vilakazi 93')
Moroka Swallows: (0) 1 (Tsutsulupa 91')
Bidvest Wits: Josephs, Gumede, Kadi (Langwe 69'), Ntshangase, Bhasera, Mngonyama, Nhlapo, Shongwe (Ngalande 82'), Vilakazi, Faty, Ngcobo (Getaneh 69')
Moroka Swallows: Etafia, Isaacs, Da Costa, Hendricks (Mungomeni 67'), Mapemba, Mbekile, Tsutsulupa, Bereng (Nergadze 81'), Mabalane, Nomvethe (Chabangu 62'), Obada

When the Joy Mining Machinery Toyota Tundra makes its debut tonight in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway, one fan in attendance will wear an extra wide grin.
Kenny Gregory, known in the infield at "The Fathead Guy" will be wearing that shit- eating smile (even though, he points out, no one has ever been known to have exibited any form of happiness immediately after swallowing human feces).
Kenny names Kyle Busch, who owns the ruck, as his favorite NASCAR driver.
But tonight, even more important, is the Joy Mining logo on the Kyle Busch Motorsports truck's hood. Gregory spent 35 years working for the Franklin Pa.-based Tool and Die Maker. He retired in 2003, and saved up enough to now travel the NASCAR circuit, taking his life-size Fathead driver stand-ups to up to 25 NASCAR races a year.
(Either Gregory saved a ton of bread, or it will come out in a few years he's the next Bernie Madoff. Whatever the case, mazel tov, Kenny, you love the racing, the fans love you, and you deserve to be at each and every race.)
Many fans know Gregory as a gregarious and tireless networker in the campgrounds, using the Fatheads to stimulate conversation, debate and new friendships. Kenny was the same at work, receiving several awards for cost saving for the company of 8,000, which is a leader in developing equipment to extract underground coal and other bedded materials.
Tonight, 2009 and 2010 World of Outlaws Late Model Series (WoO LMS) champion Richards will be at the helm of the Joy Mining Machinery Toyota Tundra Gregory will be pulling for.
"We look forward to providing Josh Richards and Joy Mining Machinery with all the tools necessary to develop from NASCAR rookies into household names," team owner Kyle Busch said in a statement.
There has always been a strong connection between the men and women who work in the mining industry and racing, especially uber-fans like Gregory, so the association makes sense. (Many fans know the story of The Lucky Penny Girl, Wessa Miller; her dad Booker is a retired coal miner.)
"When Josh starts winning races, you can bet his Fathead will be right there at my camper along with Kyle, Jeff, Jimmie, Tony, Junior, Danica and the others," Gregory said.
Known as "The Fathead Guy," Gregory's full story is documented in the NASCAR Library Collection book, THE WEEKEND STARTS ON WEDNESDAY, which is the perhaps the best book none of you have read, and will make for excellent source of heat when the Chinese finally take over.

I had been searching for a long time for a paranormal book featuring a black female 'star' so I was excited about this book and the series. When I bought it, I was disappointed that it was a romance as I'm not really into those. I bought it moreso because of the vampires so I was looking for lots of fangs, necks ripped out and the whole 9 yards. Anywho I liked the book but I found myself ready to skip a lot of it because it was moving a bit slow. But I had to remind myself that this is the first book in a series so a lot of backstory would be in this book. Aside from that, you'll find a character named Lina, who is our centered female. She's a 26 year old black cop while Brandon, our white vampire is a 21 year old deaf/mute but sexy as hell. I didn't really like how into each other they were after about 2 days but it's a book, give a little.

Eibach 4.8140 Sportline Kit for the Honda Fit ge8 (2009-2011), provides a 2.0″ rear drop and a 1.8″ front drop. Now compared to stock the car sits a lot lower and looks more agressive. However do not be scared if you do not want to go that low, because they also have the Eibach 4081.140 Pro-Kit Performance Spring Kit which is a 1.2″ front and a 1.4″ rear.
Extreme Performance Meets Extreme Style
Race-Car Like Handling
Lower Center of Gravity
Stop Quicker, Corner Faster and get Better MPG!*
Million-Mile Warranty
Like I said it is a much more agressive look to the fit. I think the car should have came slightly lower from Honda. With stock springs:
Now it may not be very clear but I could fit about 3 fingers in the gap, now I can barely fit 1. The ride is a lot stiffer and better at cornering. I did notice however having a hard time on my steep driveway no matter how much I try to angle it, or even drive it out in reverse the car will not go out without scraping. Will have to figure something out for that. But back to the springs. They are amazing. I can't believe how much better the car feels and looks with them on. Now if you love DIYs well you can really do this project on your own if you have the tools and a few hours (3-5 ranging on your abilities). I managed to do everything within 4hours with a lot of speed bumps along the way, but without those I could have finished in 3 or less. Now if you are going to do this yourself make sure when you are working on the fronts to have someone help or tie up your axle because it will come out. If it does (cus it happened to me) it will take a lot of trial and error trying to get it in. It can take anywhere from 3min to 3 hours trying to get it fixed, so as a fair warning, if you aren't so handy you should probably get some help from someone who is or bring it in to a shop($400-500 in labor).
But if you have a fit and have been debating whether or not to lower your car well heres your chance. Amazon has them online right now for $180 and if you have amazon prime well then you get free 2day shipping. Same goes for the Pro Kit as well.
I will let the springs settle a little before I do anything else and will let you know how much lower and different it feels. Good Luck!

What a bloke that Will Shakespeare was! Now you might think because he wrote his plays hundreds of years ago that it's all old hat, but the reason they are still popular today is because he wrote so well about human nature that we can relate to them today. The people in those Elizabethan days led a different life but overall our problems are similar – jealousy, ambition, unrequited love, etc.
Not only did he write good plots, but he also had more of an effect on the English language than any other writer. At the time he was writing, the English vocabulary was expanding and he himself contributed hundreds of new words that we still use nowadays.
Of the words listed below, can you guess which words he did NOT invent?
Luggage, film, advertising, gossip, stealthy, elbow, label, generous, glow, bet, dawn, unreal, hurry, jig, amazement, lonely, rival, numb, swagger, manager, bandit, design.
The answer is he invented them all. He also invented many expressions which we still use, such as vanished into thin air, in one fell swoop, or without rhyme or reason.
Unfortunately for the English language, Shakespeare died in 1616, thus depriving us of many more contributions. However, in the London in which he lived, diseases such as plague, syphilis, scurvy, tuberculosis could have carried him off at any time. The life expectancy at that time was 35! So he did well to get to the ripe old age of 52.
Happy puzzling!

An Aspen lunch with a home-grown flavor
September 19, 2013
Wednesday is Colorado Proud School Meal Day for the Aspen elementary and middle schools, and the cook is taking great pride in preparing the menu.
Chef Tenille Folk, who prepares meals at both schools, took the idea of celebrating local foods one more step with the addition of a harvest festival of sorts.
"I'm calling it the Aspen Elementary School Magical Garden Harvest Day to support Colorado Proud Meal Day," Folk said. "Usually we sell our garden produce at the Back to School Night to raise funds that will allow us to purchase local beef. This year, it worked out where we didn't need as much fund-raising, so we decided to let the kids enjoy the harvest."
The elementary school houses a garden the students help prepare and plant during the spring. This is the first year where the students get to enjoy the fruits — or vegetables — of their labor.
"The students have been harvesting for several days," Folk said. "It's obvious the kids are enjoying seeing the growing process from start to finish."
The main course will be pasta from Pappardelle's Pasta in Denver and a ground beef sauce using beef from Crystal River Meats and vegetables from the school garden.
Recommended Stories For You
Other vegetables available from the school garden include a mixed greens salad, kale chips, a fava bean salad, herb-roasted potatoes and honey-roasted carrots. Also available will be garlic bread with the garlic coming from the school garden.
There will be apples, tomatoes and pears available that come from Paonia. The tomatoes will be included in the pasta meat sauce, along with zucchini and carrots from the school garden.
"We're hoping for another good turnout from the community," Folk said. "It's a lot of fun for everyone."
The elementary school will serve lunches from 11 a.m. until 12:45 p.m.; the middle school serves lunch from 11:50 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. Parents are welcome to join the kids for lunch. Cost for lunch is $10 for adults and $4.50 for students and staff.

Can you believe it, this means we are heading straight to the dark ages. We are willing to ban knowledge itself because of our collective insecurities. The islamists are truly incharge right now and i think that the subjugation of atleast Pakistan is complete with the introduction of bans on the internet itself, the very thing that i was optimistic about is the first thing that has been targeted by the mullahs. The question still remains, can they really ban the entire internet because honestly there's a lot more things on the internet then just facebook and youtube.

Emetophobia Help – free workshop with sickness phobia expert Rob Kelly. Video 1
Please ask any questions or give your us your comments on our Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/emetophobiacure
Please also follow us on Twitter – @emetophobiacure
Rob Kelly is the creator of The Thrive Programme, and author of the book 'cure your emetophobia and thrive' – which is the only predictable way to overcome emetophobia. This series of four videos were recorded during a live during day's seminar on how to overcome emetophobia, at the Royal Society of Medicine, in London, in 2015.
To get the most from these videos, you need to have a copy of the manual 'cure your emetophobia and thrive', which you can either buy from Amazon, or direct from www.emetophobia.co.uk
Emetophobia, the fear of vomiting, is widespread; it is one of the most common phobias for which people consult Thrive Programme Consultants. Research has suggested that prevalence of a fear of being sick ranges from 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population (Hout & Bouman, 2011).
These different figures probably depend upon whether the researchers assessed participants for any sort of 'fear' of vomiting or solely focused upon a severe 'phobia'. These prevalence figures suggest that somewhere between around 63,000 and 5.5 million people in the UK suffer from emetophobia.
Emetophobia is known by many names (emetophobia, specific phobia of vomiting (SPOV), vomit phobia, sickness phobia, fear of vomiting…) and is associated with other fears and disorders, such as phagophobia (a fear of gagging, swallowing or choking), a fear of pregnancy, social anxiety and obsessional disorders. People can fear vomiting themselves and/or others vomiting. Most individuals with emetophobia are female, with research studies revealing that 85-97% of their emetophobic participants are women (Hout & Bouman, 2011; Lipsitz et al., 2001; Veale & Lambrou, 2006).
Emetophobia tends to be a severe symptom and often significantly affects sufferers' ability to lead normal lives. People with this fear often go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything that could lead to vomiting. They may, for example, be teetotal or heavily limit their alcohol consumption and avoid pubs or clubs where others may drink heavily and then vomit. They may worry a great deal about hygiene, and be fussy about making sure everywhere is clean. They may take excessive time off work or school because they worry about being exposed to germs that will cause them to be sick.
It is also common for emetophobes to be very careful about food preparation, taking excessive care to check use by dates and to ensure that food is cooked properly. Many sufferers avoid dining out or eating food that has been prepared by others. Tocophobia, the fear or phobia of being or becoming pregnant, is another common problem for emetophobia sufferers, mainly to the worries about the morning sickness. As a result, many avoid becoming pregnant or terminate a pregnancy. Those who do have children can become consumed by worry about them being ill. They may feel completely unable to look after their children when they are unwell.
Many sufferers of emetophobia have unsuccessfully tried a range of treatments Veale and Lambrou (2006), for example, found that twenty-nine percent of their sample of vomit phobics had received some form of therapy for their fear, which overall they rated as largely ineffective. Veale and Lambrou (2006, p. 139) have stated that "clinicians generally regard it as challenging to treat because of high drop out or a poor response to treatment."
In 2007 Rob Kelly – a therapist with over 25 years clinical experience – launched 'The Thrive Programme', which is a revolutionary psychological training programme – that people can learn at home from a book – that thousands have used to transform their lives. All the ex-emetophobics in this youtube channel used the emetophobia version of the Thrive Programme book to overcome their phobia. The book is called 'Cure your emetophobia and thrive' and can be found on Amazon, or direct from our website www.emetophobia.co.uk
You can download all the emetophobia research papers from our website, read hundreds of written testimonials, find out more about emetophobia, get lots of help for working through the book and find a Thrive Consultant to give you that extra inisght.
'Cure your emetophobia and thrive' is the single most successful and predictable cure for emetophobia, and has helped thousands of emetophobes around the world overcome their phobia.

The U.S. officials also said they're aware of Russians with chemical weapons expertise who have been in Syria. Moscow suspended communication with US forces created to stop planes colliding over Syria.
Law enforcement authorities uncovered a printed copy of the manifesto from an associate of Jakubowski, according to Spoden.
JANESVILLE, Wis. (WMTV) - The Rock County Sheriff's Office says Joseph Jakubowski is still at large and has not been taken into custody as of Friday morning.

High school sophomore Lauren Robertson wants to be an attorney one day, and Friday she got an early primer from the chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
Justice R. Fred Lewis visited Cypress Bay High to encourage students to take an interest in how courts work.
"Too often we take for granted that we live in an wonderful country, and it's all going to work out," Lewis said.
As an exercise, Lewis asked the group of 40 students to pretend they sat on the U.S. Supreme Court and consider an actual case that involved the Fourth Amendment.
That measure guards against unreasonable search and seizure and often pits the rights of the individual vs. the government's interest in public safety.
The case turned on whether Miami-Dade County police were correct to stop and search a 15-year-old boy on the suspicion he was carrying a hidden gun.
Police officers had received an anonymous phone tip, saying a teenager was standing with friends at a bus stop. After police observed a youth who matched the description, they frisked him and found a gun.
The case drew ardent arguments from both sides.
Senior Mark Pfefer, 17, said he would rule the officer was right to frisk the teenager.
"A cop can frisk you at any time," Pfefer said.
But classmate Robertson, 15, said an anonymous tip alone is not enough justification for the search.
"Say the boy didn't really have a gun," she said.
Lewis, 58, told students that in reality, judges also disagreed. The trial court concluded the search was illegal and the gun was excluded as evidence. The district court reversed that judgment. The state Supreme Court changed the ruling again before the U.S. Supreme Court settled the matter and agreed that a non-confirmed tip does not equate to reasonable suspicion.
The Florida Law Related Education Association arranged for Lewis's three-hour stop, part of a regular campaign to promote civics education in schools.
"What I want to leave with them is that the Constitution and government structure is relevant to their lives," Lewis said.

For your debts to be canceled in bankruptcy will depend largely on the kind of debt that you have. There are two basic types of debts that exist: secured and unsecured debt.
Secured vs Unsecured Debt
A secured debt exists when the debt has an asset serving as collateral if the debt is not repaid. For example, for most people, a house or car note that goes unpaid will result in foreclosure or repossession. Unsecured debt however, does not have any collateral supporting the debt. In these instances, the creditor does not have any real legal rights to take any of your assets if the debt is unpaid. Credit cards or medical bills are examples unsecured debts.
Eliminating Unsecured Debt
A chapter 7 bankruptcy is a great way to eliminate unsecured debts. On the other hand, security agreements that pledge collateral, such as your car or your house, cannot be canceled in a chapter 7 bankruptcy. A chapter 13 bankruptcy can also be a great option for those that want to restructure a more favorable debt payoff plan. For example, the repayment obligations might include a longer repayment timeframe or a lower interest rate.
It is important to note that some kinds of debts are immune from both a chapter 7 and a 13 bankruptcy. For example, student loans, alimony, child and spousal support, and tax debts that have come due within the last three years, are rarely cancelled. These are referred to as priorty debts. Priority debts are ones that the government has determined that as a matter of public policy, should not be canceled.
Which is Right For You?
When considering bankruptcy as an option, it is important to assess your finances carefully before making the final decision. David Packard, a board-certified bankruptcy attorney in San Antonio, offers free consultations to help people analyze these kind of decisions.

Marketing Strategy Based on the Family Decision-Making Process
Decision-Making Process
Connie Wong R46018012
1. Why do I choose vacuum cleaner?
A. So much housework needs to be shared, with family members or cleaning machine.
Who is in charge of housework in your families? Mother, father or housework is shared by family members?
As far as I know, generally most of the housework is done by the wife in a family. Particularly when the mother is also a working one. Exhausted after a day's hard work, she has to do housework so that the house won't fall into a mess. But the fact is obvious and comforting that more and more husbands and children are willing to share this work, or try their best to help the wife or mother to relieve the burden. The vacuum cleaner is undoubtedly a good choice.
B. So many kinds of vacuum cleaners are in the market, with different styles, functions, prices…
However, you see, there are a lot of brands in the market. Making a right decision is not that easy. You need to know the brands, functions, and even aftersales service. Then you need to compare different products and make a final decision. Since the cleanness of house is relevant to all members' life and health, this decision may not be made by individuals. So I think this product is a good and suitable example for today's topic.
2. Introduction of the families
Family A: the Wangs is from mainland China. The family is composed of middleaged parents and two children in twenties, and is a very democratic one. The housework is shared by all members at regular intervals. So long as the members have time, they will do it voluntarily.
Family B: the Lins come from Taiwan, with middle-aged parents and 3 boys. The eldest one has entered the society but still live with parents. The second is a college student in NCKU and live alone. And the youngest one in junior high school and only goes home at weekend. The father is busy with his business. So, almost all housework is done by mother.
Family C: the Lees, a young couple with no child. Both have jobs and very busy in daytime. The decisions are made by both mostly. The husband loves his wife very much. As to housework, he can't do it himself because he needs to travel on business. But he always try to help her.

Back in 2010 I did a research study into Buyers' views of salespeople for TACK International. As well as the conventional tick box data captured, some respondents also liked to express their views rather than merely tick boxes !!!
Here is a collection of Buyers' "vox pop" advice to Salespeople that I have extracted from the full report.

I learned via the R5 Productions email newsletter that the very edgy (if a corporate organization can be edgy) Suicide Girls are bringing their Live Burlesque Show to the Starlight Ballroom this Thursday, October 19th. They'll be filming the show for inclusion in their next DVD.
The R5 folks say, "They are going to rely heavily on footage from the Philadelphia show – so you can expect the most "off the hook routines" and "out of hand antics" in our own city. They'll be interviewing show go'ers throughout the night – so you also get the possible bonus of being immortalized on dvd forever."

I look into the mirror of my memory and I see stardust. A vortex of imagery encircles my imagination and I begin to fall under the pressure of gravity. In the midst of the corner of my eye – I descend – and witness a sea of humanity. In an instant echoes of time explode into a myriad of colours. The tapestry of history is draped before me… Oh, how I long to suspend self – righteousness, to disengage logic and pierce the barriers shackling my existence. I need to disentangle the crusts of calcified social conditioning and open the door to reality and view a world that is less inhibited, less influenced by the musings of wise but staid old men we are taught to esteem from ages past.
The science of conscience seeps through the cracks of reasoning and I am catapulted to a lonely summit overlooking a moral landscape struck and blinded by the thunderings of unconscionable nature. It is a cold, hard power of a frightening epiphany that ironically soothes me whilst waiting for the signatures of mortality. I live to participate in this thing we call life and I breathe to extricate this thing we call sanity….
Photons of endlessness float rhythmically in and out of the pores of flesh and a mind glimpses radiance in unison…My thoughts are incomplete – there is no other way- unable and incapable to articulate the systemic harmony experienced in this pulsating certainty we call time… a reflection and a direction mesmerised by the sun's setting once again over and over….painting the kaleidoscope of humanity's crimson horizon.

AbstractAluminum-based amorphous alloys exhibited an abnormally high vapor pressure at their approximate glass transition temperatures. The vapor pressure was confirmed by the formation of Al nanocrystallites from condensation, which was attributed to weight loss of the amorphous alloys. The amount of weight loss varied with the amorphous alloy compositions and was inversely proportional to their glass-forming ability. The vapor pressure of the amorphous alloys around 573 K was close to the vapor pressure of crystalline Al near its melting temperature, 873 K. Our results strongly suggest the possibility of fabricating nanocrystallites or thin films by evaporation at low temperatures. View Full-Text

South Florida's recent bizarre weather, lurching from dry spells to unusually heavy nighttime thunderstorms, may be returning to something more normal this weekend, the National Weather Service said.
"Normal could be nasty at times," meteorologist Gary Partyka said.
Usually South Florida is hot and sticky, with storms in the afternoons. By Sunday, we should be returning to that, Partyka said. There's a 50 percent chance of rain on Saturday, he said. High temperatures this weekend should be in the low 90s with lows in the mid-to upper 70s.

The head of religious studies at a Shenley Brook End School has been charged for possessing a series of indecent images of children.
Phillip Allen, 48, had taught at the school since 2011.
He faces three charges of making indecent images of children - one of them at category A, which is the highest possible level of indecent images.
As a result of the police investigation he no longer works at the school but Allen was a prominent figure in religious education.
He has been a member of the teacher panel of the Times Educational Supplement (TES), for which he writes frequently.

A spokesperson from the school, said: "I assure parents that we take our safeguarding responsibilities very seriously at Shenley Brook End School and as soon as the school was aware of the allegations, we immediately parted company with the member of staff.
"He was not allowed to return to the school and is no longer employed by the school.
"We are helping the police with their enquiries with the support of the local authority.
"No information has been provided to the school which suggests that these matters relate to any of our students, past or present, or children in the local area."
Allen is due to appear in court for an initial hearing on Monday.
A spokesman for Northants police said: "We can confirm a 48-year-old man from Potterspury has been charged with making indecent images of children, following an investigation by Northamptonshire Police."

I am a believer of Unity, Not Imprisonment...
Well I see the powers that should not be are out in full force for the ever changing fight of power. Now they have taken to the stage to stop the sales of guns in the United States, after the wake of the Sandy Hook Shooting. As of Sunday, Obama has pledged to devise an agenda to stop the violence of gun, stating on Meet The Press that "The question then becomes whether we are actually shook up enough by what happened here that it does not just become another one of these routine episodes where it gets a lot of attention for a couple of weeks and then it drifts away," Obama said. "It certainly won't feel like that to me. This is something that - you know, that was the worst day of my presidency. And it's not something that I want to see repeated."
Now are you shook up enough to change the Second Amendment? Let us now look down the Rabbit Hole...
Now you must understand that America has a history of School Shootings, so why the big front to take the guns now? Lets us look at the aftermath first from the Aurora Shootings before we start any further. What we first learnt was after the shooting guns sales rose across the Country.
Most gun shops had sales rise to almost 300% from fear of the government using this shooting to implement ban on specific gun sales. Then we add now the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings and the steep rise of more sales Daily Mail - The Independent - Digital Journal - Times Union - Tampa Bay - Wichita Falls - New York And Los Angeles Times
As the media pushes its opinions, and hard in fact. A local news paper in New York has decided to go even farther by posting people who are registered gun owners on an interactive map. So not only can you see who owns a gun in your neighborhood, so also does the crooks Where Are The Guns In Your Neighborhood? Mob Mentality at its best...
So why the big push? Why now does The Potus (who since his election has killed 400-800 civilians and 176 children with drone strikes) feels the need to care for the children? Could it be the UN Arms Treaty or the IANSA Global movement against gun violence, sponsored by No other then George Soros. (an investor of Obama's)
Always more questions then answers when dealing with these types of people...
Now since the Shootings, Corporate companies have lost their appetite for Gun Companies. Cerberus a private Capital Management Group has decided to sell its stock in Freedom Group, one of the largest suppliers of personal and military weaponry.
US Companies back Away From Gun Makers.
See the US backed away from signing the UN arms treaty, for they wanted more time to consider it further back in July 2012. Further, no treaty has been signed however talks will resume in March 2013. And after reading Obamas statement, I am sure his signature will be on it this time.
The President cannot put a complete ban on all weapons in the US from the signing of Internationale treaties with foreign nations unless (See 1957 Reid vs Covert ) there is an amendment to the Constitution the repeals or alters it or Supreme Court reinterprets how the second amendment is applied.
So what is going to happen now? How much farther should I start going down this rabbit hole, and Why is a peace loving human discussing guns when he himself doesn't believe or praise any type of violence? For that answer we must go deeper. But for now, let us have a music break while I rest, before my quest further down this bloody hole...
Why I am jumping down this hole is very simple, I am a believer of Unity, and sustainable development, however what these guys have in mind is not freedom. If we are not all together as the human race, then it is more forced ideas and beliefs by people who never have had us at heart to begin with. But we will get to that in a bit, no time for my own opinions. I have some more climbing to do.
In today's news is the Fiscal cliff, and the fight to balance the books. Now if we start going down this hole you will see that some Powerful People are giving advice on how to stop a recession. While at the same time a few of those powers, has dumped all his holding with JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup and investing his money in Gold. Now Soros is 130 million worth of the precious metal. As he claims that there will be rioting in America as the country collapses. Soros warns of violent riots in america. Seems strange for someone so high up within the American financial institute to jump ship so easy. Now if your an investor, you would see this as a huge red flag, and if you are like me and have known for years the importance of buying gold, you will see this as something planned for many years. Makes you wonder why all of a sudden a rush of buy gold for cash companies have popped up everywhere.... It seems that the ones who are going to be hit the hardest is the rich. And you might say good, however let me ask you one thing. If you knew the government will be taxing you on your millions with a 40% tax what would you do with your money? Keep it invested in the American dream or get it out as quick as you can in off shore banks and money laundering It is not like they can buy property, that is also up on the chopping block.
So why would they want this, the pillar and strength of America is the individual wealth of its people. The country stands to not falter because of this fact, why change it? Now I am not any advisory or one who understands most of this stuff, I am a street runaway, that understands the mentality of rats and crooks, as I have seen my fair share over the years, so if I am wrong please don't jump down my throat. I am doing my best here.
Now let us look at Agenda 21
Now before you roll your eyes and start talking global conspiracies and the NWO garbage, please understand that agenda 21 is not a fantasy brought on by guys in tin foil hats. It is an all to real vision being implemented through out the world. Now what is Agenda 21? It is a plan for Governments to take control of all land use, and take away the individual rights and give them to the government who will be a steward or protector of the lands. It speaks of redistribution of wealth for poorer countries. So you again might ask "what is wrong with that?" Nothing if it was in the hands of people who really care about the environment. These are the people who have put us here in the first place and want us to pay for their mess. How many of you are dumping toxic waste in your backyard? Anybody???
This doesn't just go for land ownership, let alone aboriginal and first nations people losing their land rights all together for someone who believes they will take care of you better. This is the restructure of the Education System, the energy market, the transportation system, the governmental system, the health care system, food production, and more. The plan is to restrict your choices, limit your funds, narrow your freedoms, and take away your voice. All by the same hands that have tortured, murdered, and pushed their agendas for years without asking us.
Now what does all this have to do with anything? I personally don't know. I am only trying to bring in more question, to bring in smarter minds then me to help put the pieces together. Now if you want my opinion (even if you don't want it I will give it to you anyways)
This is about control, about disarming any threat. To create strife and unbalance for the people in this world. To create fear, and pressure. To bring us to bankruptcy, so they can bail us out. This is about Occupy, Idle no more. This is about controlled revolutions by the same people who are pushing this agenda. They want us fighting, they want us killing each other. With enough of us busy running in fear, or saving for the day of no tomorrow, they are busy deciding our future without even asking us how we feel. This is about GMO's and the population control with Sterilization . This is the dawn of a world order designed to keep us down, and they still stay rich. They know that the biggest war is not on the battlefields, but in the mind. And they will keep using what ever they can to keep you occupied, from anything but the truth. And what is the truth when they themselves create what we consider the truth? How they plan on getting the world to follow this is another question. In Canada right now they have protest becoming riots soon, where color will matter and not the ones who are pulling the strings. In America they have guns, and the fear of them either coming to take them, or them being used on you. We have unrest and riots all over the world, occupy anonymous and wikileaks. This is either the greatest moment of humanity or one giant ploy for global dominance... I am only trying to bring more questions the rest... That is up to you to decide

I was born in Switzerland so my family did roam around quite a bit when I was a child but I only have pictures of that time and no real memories of it. Maybe when I'm a bit older (and not broke), I want to go and explore the beauty of all the countries there but till then the closest I can get to Europe is through books.
If you, like me, want to travel Europe but are broke AF at the moment – read these books and get a virtual experience of it! (And also save a lot of money cos books cost lesser than plane tickets :P)
I See London, I See France by Sarah Mlynowski
This story gave me so much wanderlust and is actually what inspired this post. The story is about two girls who backpack through Europe in the summer and it's super fun! They go to a lot of different places, some I hadn't even heard about before.
Just One Day by Gayle Forman (Review)
One of my favourite books! Though this isn't set JUST in Europe, the main parts of it are. Roam through Paris and Amsterdam while reading this. And enjoy the beautiful story that this is. ❤
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Experience studying abroad in Paris, fun characters and cute boys. What's not to love?!
One Italian Summer by Keris Stainton (Review)
An absolutely wonderful story about dealing with grief, set in Italy. The descriptions of the places are stunning.
Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch (Review)
Roam around Italy some more via this cute story. Warning: this will make you very hungry and crave for Gelato.
One Day by David Nicholls (Review)
A beautiful love story set primarily in London. Travel through time and notice the differences in London as time passes through this wonderful story.
I'm certain there are more YA books set in Europe, but these are the few I could think of at the top of my mind. I'm a little bit busy with moving into college so couldn't make this as exciting a post as it could have been. Might do a revamped version of it in a few weeks?
What are your favourite YA books (or books in general) set in Europe?
