When I agreed to review Point of No Return by Martha Gellhorn for the publisher of the new digital edition, I knew nothing of the author. The name was familiar, but I should have known more of her. She led an extraordinary life as a war journalist, novelist and the third wife of Ernest Hemingway. Without this background, I began reading my ARC from Open Road Media via Net Galley without any expectations or preconceptions.
Gellhorn wrote Point of No Return soon after WWII. It was first published in 1948. According to her Afterword that appears at the end of the book, she had been a witness to events in this war as a journalist who traveled with British troops. Although I have read quite a number of WWII novels, I hadn't read any that were written by a woman author who had experienced the war first hand.
Many combat oriented war novels tend to bore me because their action is abstract and distanced without the thoughts and feelings of soldiers. They may have done their research, but their battle scenes aren't involving. I read historical fiction because I want to know more than what happened. I want to feel that I'm actually there. Martha Gellhorn delivered authentic characters and showed us what they were really going through. Now that I know that she was a participant as a journalist, I realize that this wasn't just research for her.
Although Gellhorn was involved in WWII, she wasn't on the ground with American soldiers like Jacob Levy, the protagonist of Point of No Return. Yet as an American of assimilated Jewish background herself, she understood him. Jacob Levy was brought up without religion. His name remained as the only identifying marker of his Jewishness. Many American Jews are completely secular and will find him very relatable. I also found him sympathetic even though my upbringing was not similar. I have known people like him who didn't feel like they were part of the Jewish community. They primarily identified with being Americans. That's why Jacob Levy volunteered for WWII. He wanted to serve his country. My uncles, who came from a more religiously observant Jewish background, felt the same way. They both fought in WWII. One of them survived the Battle of the Bulge as Jacob Levy did. This particular uncle never told war stories, so I never knew what the Battle of the Bulge was like for him. After reading this book, I think I know why he never talked about it. Gellhorn's depiction of that battle was visceral. It had nothing in common with a Hollywood movie.
Jacob Levy had what he obviously thought was a romance with a woman. It felt very significant to him, but it seemed to be largely based in fantasy. I thought they had no common ground. There is a myth that the attraction of opposites is a successful formula for a good relationship. It has always seemed to me that such an attraction is like a soap bubble, and that a lasting relationship is built on commonalities. Since this is a literary novel rather than a romance, Gellhorn doesn't provide a happily ever after ending. It's my hope that Jacob eventually found something more durable to sustain him.
The resolution of Point of No Return is extremely powerful. Gellhorn tells us in the Afterword that the reason she wrote the book was to exorcise what she saw at the concentration camp in Dachau soon after its liberation. When she wrote the book so soon after that event, it must have felt like a raw wound. Seeing a concentration camp after it had ceased operations can never be equivalent to the trauma of a survivor of the camp, but I imagine that it would still leave a mark on someone's soul. She wanted Jacob Levy to be the keeper of that memory. I don't imagine that you ever really can erase such images. In 1948, Jacob Levy probably was a proxy for all those Americans who never thought such things were possible. There may be current readers who optimistically believe that humanity can change for the better, and that we aren't a violent species. If you are one them, reading this book to the end may engender some doubts about the perfectibility of humankind. This is not the sort of novel that leaves illusions intact.

Right you lot – you've had your fun. The Olympics facilitated your gorging on evening and weekend TV, generated your boss's good-natured tolerance of streaming events during work hours, and provided endless hours of gasps and cheers and tears and triumph. And now it's your turn to contribute.
I hear a lot of people asking – nay demanding – to know what LOCOG intend to do about London 2012's Legacy. These people say it with a capital 'L' to emphasise that this Legacy is Very Important to them. And LOCOG do their best to explain what they will do with their facilities and venues, how they will make sporting equipment and expertise available, and put their athletes in front of cameras heavily laden with medals and white-toothed grins. Meanwhile Mr Cameron does his best to insist that money will go in large volumes to the right places and that selling-off sports pitches isn't a thing that's happening at all. They are pleading with you to believe in their vision of Legacy and their capacity to deliver it.
I put it to you, however, that this Legacy is your responsibility as much as Coe's and Cameron's. You have been inspired by sport because it turned up in your living room for a fortnight. Now you have to go out and find it. If you want sport to be a part of your life or your children's lives, then do something to make it so – Jess Ennis isn't going to pop round with a set of hurdles and a javelin to teach you the heptathlon. Greg Rutherford isn't going to suddenly leap into your garden with his coach's whistle and a measuring tape. You are going to need to build on your own momentum. Here are a few suggestions as to how you can do that:
Go and see some sport
If you missed out on getting tickets for the Olympics, then why not go and see something else? Professional and high-level amateur sport happens every week in this country - your options really aren't limited to Wimbledon and endless football matches. I'm going to the EMC tests at Murrayfield in November, which were cheap. I'm planning to finally get to the Edinburgh International Cross-Country in January, which is free. If I was desperate to see Olympic mainstays like athletics/track & field, there are endless events up and down the country, including massive inter-county championships – here's a list. Every Olympic sport will have public, usually quite cheap events that you can go to and have an awesome time at. What's stopping you?
Sign up for a race
I say this all the time – but if you want running motivation then put some money where your mouth is and sign up for a race. Incidentally, you could do Survival of the Fittest for Venture Trust, which would be cool. Or why not run an event that your local running/athletics club is putting on? If you usually run the big, famous races, why not try something unusual and local? Or if you're short of pennies then go to parkrun – it's FREE, there's one near where you live and I've told you to do it already.
Get behind the Commonwealth Games
Glasgow 2014, baby. Here we come.
Join a club
This is hypocritical – I haven't been in a sports club since University – but you may find that joining your local athletics, football, rugby, cycling, hockey, triathlon, shooting, swimming, canoeing or any-other club will give you much easier routes to participation and a new social circle to boot.
Take up something new
One of the most bizarre and wonderful parts of the Olympics for me is watching athletes compete at the highest level in events which I was only dimly aware of. This should be the moment that Britain recruits a generation of talented handballers, finds swathes of future BMX champs and hundreds of people passionate about that weird 8-man kayak thing. I hate to think of the number of people who didn't shine at the mainstream sports which were offered at school, who became labelled (and therefore learnt to think of themselves) as 'not sporty'. I saw a great tweet by Jeremy Vine that said "Facts that have emerged from the Olympics: Britain's not rubbish. Football is not the only sport. The Queen can do jokes." – why not dedicate yourself to a minority event? You might be naturally gifted at it. And, by contrast and in a 'just saying' kind-of way, Britain is pretty rubbish at football.
Jog on
I think I may have said this somewhere before. But I mean this in its broadest possible sense - leave the car at home and walk into town, buy a bike and use it to commute, go for a swim, hike up a reasonably big hill. Do literally anything to keep moving and active and energised.
You want a legacy? Make it happen. The time is now.
Happy running
2012 to date: miles run - 282, miles biked - 69.2, metres swum - 2350, races - 3

But I'll let her tell you about it in her own words.
So, this book... it's about this girl.
Eric Matua has one friend—his best friend and childhood sweetheart, who needs a place to stay for the summer. Mia Johnson has thousands of friends—who live in her computer. Along with her email chats and Facebook notifications, Mia also devours romance novels, spending countless hours with fictional characters, dreaming of her own Romeo to sweep her off her feet. When she starts receiving supersweet messages from a stranger who thinks she's someone else, Mia begins to believe that real love is possible outside her virtual world.
When the two friends become roommates, Mia finds herself falling harder than she ever thought she could. But Eric keeps his desires locked away, unsure of himself and his ability to give his best friend what she deserves in a boyfriend. As her advances are continually spurned, Mia splits her time between Eric and her computer. But she soon realizes she's about to lose the only real thing she's ever had.

Armenia should counteract to all kinds of manifestations of xenophobia, particularly Armenophobia, Karen Vrtanesyan, member of "Initiative against Xenophobia" organization and Director of ArmenianHouse.org electronic library told journalists today. To that end, the organization intends to first of all start cooperation with similar international organization and establish contacts with RA Foreign Ministry.
Over the recent years, manifestations of xenophobia were often observed not only in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey and Russia, but also in United States, Karen Vrtanesyan said, referring to the Armenian individual's brutal murder in RF, as well as American radio reporter's recent statement containing hints of Armenophobia.
To prevent such phenomena, the organization intends to conduct permanent monitoring and analysis so as to hold culprits accountable and organize civic pressure actions.
Karen Vrtanesyan focused on Azeri MP Ganira Pashseva's recent statement. During the PACE session held in Strasburg, Azeri parliamentarian accused Armenian delegation of numerous crimes and stressed that such manifestations should necessarily have their consequences for Azerbaijan. In that connection, "Initiative against Xenophobia" intends to apply to RA Foreign Ministry in anticipation of getting relevant response.
Answering journalists' questions concerning funding sources, Vrtanesyan said that anti-Armenian propaganda was funded on the highest level, and unlike Armenia, individual entrepreneurs were also involved in the process. Nevertheless, participants of the initiative are determined about their further plans.
And some more from Panorama.am
Armenia should not ignore anti-Armenian displays irrespective of where and how they are expressed, Karen Vrtanesyan, the director of "ArmenianHouse.org" e-literature told the reporters.
According to him anti-Armenian activities are held not only in Azerbaijan and Turkey but in Russia, Georgia, Ukraine and USA. The best example of armenophobia is Azeri deputy Ganira Pashayeva's speech made in PACE session when the deputy accused Armenians and finally made falsified references to Zori Balayan.
Blogger Tigran Kocharyan emphasized that anti-Armenian campaign are held all over the world and Azeri diplomats, Ambassadors take active participation in them. "A generation of politicians, diplomats, analysts and scientists grows up which spreads unjustified information about Armenians which has negative influence," Kocharyan said.

HMRC Fraud Investigation Service insights
Andy Young explains the role of HRMC's Fraud Investigation Service and you can find out more about its work at the ICAS Tax Conference on 24 May.
HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service recognises that the vast majority of UK taxpayers are honest, and will pay their fair share to fund public services.
This is recognised and reflected in our compliance strategy, which is centred around three strands: promoting compliance, and preventing and responding to non-compliance.
This means helping the honest majority to get things right, dissuading those who may be tempted to evade taxes and if necessary responding appropriately to those who may choose to evade and avoid their responsibilities.
The strategy is about balance across the entire system and all taxpayers.
My role, and the role of our Fraud Investigation Service teams across Scotland and the UK, is primarily focused on the 'respond' element of the above strategy.
We aim to deal with everything from error through to deliberate, systemic criminal attack.
The Fraud Investigation Service workshop, at the ICAS Tax Conference in Glasgow on 24 May, 2016, will consider how HMRC interacts with non-compliant customers – and how others can encourage their customers to remain compliant.

This is valentine card that I made for my friend. Actually me and my friend Shabarish Gupta, both contributed to the card. He made it for her friend who presented it to her boyfriend.
Initially we just cut out the heart from the card stock and cut out a bigger heart from the handmade paper I have to glue it to the inside of the card. Then we glued a strip to the outline of the card. We made quilled open heart from different colored strips we have and glued it to the handmade paper surface.
We decided we would leave it as is. however, I felt the card looks a bit incomplete and I made a fringed flower, punched out some leaves. Cut out a butterfly picture. And I added the leaves and flower to the left of the heart. And I glued the butterfly pic to the right side of the card. I glued two tight circles to the bottom of the two wings and it stayed upwards. It looked great. But still I wanted to do something to the butterfly and applied some glitter to it. I punched out some tiny hearts and glued in a flying pattern. It looked gorgeous.
In the inside of the card, in the handmade paper heart I glued the first letters of Shabarish's friend and her boyfriend. Then I added tiny swirls that Shabarish has made and I added some more tiny cut out hearts.
When Shabarish returned from his break and had seen the card he found something interesting in the card and was very much impressed. Even I didn't notice that interesting thing. He showed me the 'U' pattern formed by the wings of the butterfly. So, the card became an "I ♥ U" card. His friend was very much happy and she is the first one who suggested me to prepare more such cards and sell it in some shops or outlets.
I love the creativity that happened with this card. And I am sure you would love the card too.
Thanks for visiting!

Losing weight is not an easy task, which requires exercising regularly and eating other weight-loss drugs. Just as I am currently working in a very sedentary office, the overweight situation is increasing. I tried to combine the anti-push training on the plastic wood floor but still not effective. I also try to engage in outdoor activities and the current weight gain continues. Using weight loss pills is a great solution.61Samedi 25 Novembre 2017 à 04:20This design is wicked!

Trong thời kỳ cổ đại nó đã từng là loại cây mọc phổ biến dọc theo bờ sông Nin ở Ai Cập cùng với một loài hoa súng có quan hệ họ hàng gần gũi có tên gọi dài dòng là hoa sen xanh linh thiêng sông Nin và hoa, quả cũng như các đài hoa của cả hai đã được họa lại khá rộng rãi như là một kiểu kiến trúc ở những nơi cần các hình ảnh linh thiêng. Người Ai Cập cổ đại sùng kính hoa sen và sử dụng nó trong các nghi thức tế lễ. Từ Ai Cập nó đã được đem đến Assyria và sau đó được trồng rộng rãi khắp các vùng Ba Tư, Ấn Độ và Trung Quốc. Nó cũng có thể là loài cây bản địa ở khu vực Đông Dương, nhưng ở đây có sự nghi vấn về điều này. Năm 1787, lần đầu tiên nó được đưa tới Tây Âu như một loài hoa súng dưới sự bảo trợ của Joseph Banks và có thể thấy được trong các vườn thực vật hiện nay mà ở đó có sự cung cấp nhiệt. Ngày nay nó hiếm hoặc đã tuyệt chủng tại châu Phi nhưng lại phát triển mạnh ở miền nam châu Á và Australia.94Mercredi 3 Octobre 2018 à 10:3095Mardi 9 Octobre 2018 à 11:27

Pre-qualified versus Pre-approved
If you are planning on buying a home in the next year, there are a few things you should do before you start looking: decide on the neighborhood that will provide you with good schools and a reasonable commute to work; get your credit reports and confirm all the information is accurate; and learn the difference between pre-qualified and pre-approved mortgage loans.
What Does Pre-qualified Mean?
The first thing you need to know is that being pre-qualified for a mortgage does not...

The National Housing Market: Low Inventory, Higher Prices
Every major region of the country saw existing-home sales climb in March. The large gains posted in the Northeast and Midwest helped sales climb 1.5 percent higher than a year ago. Buyers in these regions overcame inventory woes and affordability issues to make their home purchases. On the supply side, there were 1.98 million existing homes for sale at the end of March; at the current sales pace, this represents a 4.5-month supply. Inventory was 5.9 percent higher...

Four Ways to Successfully

There's a reason interior designers love the color gray: a gray palette offers everything from off-white to barely black and is markedly more flexible than color. It's not just about walls either. Upholstery, furniture, and linens add texture to an otherwise uninteresting room. Here are four ways to make the most of the color gray:

Five Signs You May Need a
New Roof
It's understandable for homeowners to opt for repairs rather than a new roof when leaks and other issues require immediate attention. However, there comes a time when it's going to be most cost-effective to opt for replacement rather than repair. A new roof is a major investment. Here are five signs that it's time to replace your roof:
1. Age of Your Roof
Residential roofs typically last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, depending on overall maintenance and care. If your roof is approaching the end of its expected life span and repair needs become increasingly frequent, then consider a replacement. Also consider how many layers are underneath your shingles. If you or previous...

Expert Design Tips That Will Get Your Landscape in Shape
Tackling a landscaping plan can be overwhelming, so it's a good idea to consult a professional landscape designer who knows the ins and outs of when, where and how to plant and how to install hardscapes.
"There are so many details involved in creating the landscape of one's dreams that it's easy to become confused," says Bobbie Schwartz, president of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD). "A landscape designer will be experienced in taking on the multiple unique challenges that every property poses. In the long run, hiring a professional, who will get it done right the first time, can save money. That professional will keep you from making expensive mistakes."...

Came home the other day to find a gift from Cleveland. Specifically, it was a gift from the Cleveland Marathon for being an early bird registration.
It's early in my marathon training so it was great getting these gloves to remind of what I'm training for. Now, I'm just scared that I'm going to need this gloves in May in Ohio. OK, I need it won't be that cold. :)
I'm REALLY looking forward to this marathon. It's a bonus marthon… I get to run a marathon and see family!

Last night, I went to the launch of a new wine brand, RoseEros, an upscale rosé (pink) wine created by Chateau Beaulieu in Provence. Why such a name for a dry rose wine from Provence? Because "Rose" is the anagram of "Eros" and also of "Oser" which means "Dare" in French. Beaulieu en Provence dared launch a Rosé, Eros, in an unusual style and wants to convince trade and consumers that rosé wines can be drunk all year around at home, in wine bars and night clubs and not only during the summer or over a barbecue. Rosé wine is hot, trendy and sexy.
This event started me thinking about how wines are presented to the journalists who then introduce them to the consumer or the trade. "We decided to launch RoseEros as we would launch a spirit brand or a champagne with a fun and exciting night," said James de Roany, managing director of Chateau Beaulieu, who has a good experience of this strategy since he worked for many years for the luxury group LVMH and in Champagne.
How does it translate in the event? The press launch was held in a very unusual place, the Pink Paradise night club more famous for its pole dancers than for wine tastings. Nothing offending or gross in the dancing: two pretty women, more athletic than erotic gave us all – men and women – a good dance show.
During the evening, music, screens and moving but soft lights really gave us the impression we were a little out of time or in the middle of the night, although the event started at 7:00pm and was over by 10:30. Night birds were just waking up! Talking to the journalists and professionals around the place, I heard favorable comments on the initiative: "I know this place",said a wine professional. "When I worked for Pernod Ricard, we held a lot of our events here." A female journalist told me she came to taste the wine, of course but also because she was curious about the place. Here is for the choice of the place: it was a success.
What happened to make this event and the wine memorable? The author of the Erotic Guide of the Louvre and Orsay museums, Jean-Manuel Traimond, was signing his book whose pink cover was appropriate to this pink evening, giving a highly cultural and elegant signature to the event. Jean-Manuel Traimond is an outgoing and pleasant man, who speaks many languages and knows his museums by heart. He is currently working on a guide on gastronomy and wine for the same museums.
The wine is one of those elegant and fine dry rosés from Provence, so successful during the summer but that could accompany as well your Thanksgiving dinner or your Valentine evening. I enjoyed it and could recommend it for those who like an alternative to white wines as an aperitif (a drink before a meal or after work).
I think press and trade will remember this event as special. It is still too early to have any press articles or sales' results but press and trade were happy and positive about this unusual launch for a wine. Does it mean this could be a successful strategy to market brands to press and consumer? It could be (or it should be?). Let a little fun enter our world!

Ruby on rails and groovy grails comparison
#1 Groovy allows you to write java. While this isn't a huge deal, it can be both a positive and a negative. I've worked on teams where folks treat grails as a super simple java framework and never leverage any of groovy's dynamic goodness. While this isn't a huge problem, it does delay (or eliminate) to transition from J2EE xml configuration file hell into a more dynamic way of coding.
#2 Ruby forces you to learn "the ruby way". For folks who are only used to java, seeing ruby code is like...seeing another language. Because of this, the idioms used in java are more quickly forgotten and you more quickly become a ruby native because you MUST. Only having worked with a few other people while they moved from java to ruby, I can only speak from my personal experience. I can say that ruby's syntax is not THAT much different as long as you keep an open mind, and I found I was able to more quickly learn the "ruby way" than I was able to learn the "groovy way" simply because I was FORCED to do it with ruby.
#3 Rails uses db migrations by default. This is a huge plus for db CRUD applications. It enables you to make sure you have a migration path from version to version of your code. Grails, on the other hand doesn't come with anything (by default) to handle this.
#4 Rails has a sparse model class definition. Should you NOT decide to use db migrations, you can simply create some tables in your database, create an empty ruby class, and begin using it. You don't need a class definition that matches the db table, because the fields are put on the class via introspection of the table. This then frees you to only implement business functionality on your model.
#5 Grails integrates seamlessly with most modern J2EE environments. Newer versions of spring allow you to code groovy code INSIDE your spring configuration xml. Grails creates a war file that can be deployed with little or no modification directly into a J2EE container. Rails CAN be integrated in a similar fashion, but it is really a kind of frankenstein implementation to get JRuby on rails via a J2EE container.
#6 Ruby on rails is MUCH more nimble and dynamic for building functionality. Grails enables taglibs and meta-programming, but many of the DSLs quickly get cluttered with java-like confusion that doesn't really have any business advantage. In addition, because of the way grails works with classloading in servlet containers, it is constantly restarting the container to pick up new functionality. With rails, I can reinitialize the database, drop/create tables, completely redesign the application, and it will typically continue to run without a hitch. I've often gone an entire day add/removing domain classes, changing controllers, rebuilding tag libraries and my rails engine never has to be restarted.
#7 The groovy and grails community is more organized. That having been said, they're both pretty disorganized and certainly the "herd of cat's" syndrome is running rampant in both of them. However, when I google "groovy roadmap", my first hit is this http://groovy.codehaus.org/Roadmap, "ruby roadmap" gets me: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-19/roadmap. You choose which one seems more organized.
#8 The ruby community is larger. While still pretty small compared to the likes of PHP or java, you cannot throw a stick and help but hit someone who has at least heard of ruby on rails. Groovy/Grails is still pretty small. On the other hand, I would point out that the grails community is growing where the rails community growth seems to have leveled off in the last year or so.
In conclusion, there are a lot of other factors that make selection of one or the other of these better or worse. If I where to learn only one of these and had no prior experience, I would probably learn ruby and rails just because of the size of the community. If I were a java person, I would likely start with groovy/grails just because the learning curve is going to be less steep.

database migrations are on the roadmap for grails 1.4. There is currently three plugins for this.

One of the things that makes it harder for me to jump into web development with Ruby is that even today there seems to be too many alternatives to choose from. Ruby 1.8 or 1.9? Rails 2.x or Rails 3, or beeding edge or something like Sinatra? ...
The integration with Java containers works but it's far from perfect. You can build a WAR file from Redmine's sources using the Warbler gem, but results in having several JRuby runtimes in memory is very expensive (you can configure it, but it's frankensteinian as you mentioned).

Not sure I agree with #2 there. I'm a Java developer by day and Ruby by night. And I can't say that Ruby forces me to do pretty much anything.
What are the forces and constraints you mention with Ruby?
And you're talking about the "Ruby Way?" How about the "Java Way?" As in being FORCED to write proper getters/setters all the time (if you want to be compliant, that is).
attr_accessor :slug
public string Slug { get; set; }
private String slug;
public String getSlug(){ return this.slug;}
public void setSlug(String slug){this.slug = slug;}

Nice summary overall, but I do have to disagree with your "Frankenstein" characterization for JRuby. I've been running my Rails stuff under JRuby using TorqueBox (a JBoss community Ruby application serverimplementation) for over a year, and from the development/deployment point of view, the learning curve is minimal and mostly revolves around making use of the quite rewarding extra capabilities provided by the container.

I thought it was comparing ruby to groovy. So ignore java.
Groovy way:

"Before, I almost used to think there was something wrong. Everybody else seemed have the brakes on...I never feel the brakes. I overflow. And when I feel your excitement about life flaring, next to mine, then it makes me dizzy." Letter from Anais Nin to Henry Miller, March 26, 1932
They sat in front of the fire, first time alone, probably ever, in a house anyway. Not an office or a car. Someplace comfortable. He sat a bit of a distance away from her. She was lying on the floor leaning on her elbow. They were talking and having some drinks. It was really cold outside, and the fire was nice.
She stared at him when he wasn't looking and went over in her head how she could ask if she could sit nearer to him. Or ask if she could touch him. She figured it would probably take a little longer. And a few more drinks.
Because really, most of the time she was near him, she was literally aching to touch him. And that wasn't hyperbole. She really felt some kind of pull that hurt to resist. She was a touchy person. And her nature was to touch people she cared about. Was there a sexual attraction? Hell yeah. But really, the touching thing wasn't about that. Not entirely.
And not only did she ache to touch him. She wanted him to touch her. But it just wouldn't happen. He wasn't that way. And she was aware of the psychological effect that would have – making her want it more. But analysis aside, it didn't change that she wanted it. Bad.
"Did you ever read the book 'Henry and June?'" she asked him.
"No," he said.
"It's from the journals of Anais Nin in like the 30's or 40's I think. And she was good friends and sleeping with Henry Miller at the time. And also friends with his wife who was apparently extremely trusting or never around or didn't care," she said.
"But in the journals, she really details all they did together. She seems to have been able to master the art of writing erotica and still have it be considered literature. I should pay closer attention," she said, and he laughed.
"The point I'm making is she also includes letters between her and Henry. And probably because they are so real, and so graphic, and so honest, I just think they are beautiful," she said.
"I mean Henry Miller did not mince words when it came to sex. Some of it was really filthy, but I think because it was so real, it really made an impact on me beyond that," she said.
"And as it takes me forever to get to a point, sometimes I think of these stories I write for you like that. Not that I'm remotely comparing myself to these two celebrated writers. But I feel like love letters or really letters of any kind have gone by the wayside. And these stories I write for you, they are in some ways the only way I can write you letters, without actually writing you letters. I can write about how I feel and the things I think about when it comes to you. And yes, sexually, all the things I want to do with you and to you that I can't. Unlike Henry and Anais, I'm too scared to use the "I" and the "you" for the most part, and stick with the "she" and the "he." Too scared to own all that. But I like the thought that these are my letters to you, like those in that book," she said.
"You should really read it sometime. I mean, you might hate it, but it is pretty intense," she said.
He wasn't really saying anything. She wondered if she should have said all of that. Most of the time with him she was feeling around in the dark, never knowing if the next step was going to be out the door with no stairs and she'd be falling on her face.
"Was that bad to say?" she said, after he left her hanging in silence a bit more. He was just staring into the fire.
"Of course not. I'm just thinking about it," he said.
"Can I ask you something?" she said.
"Yes," he said.
"Can I sit closer to you? I understand if you don't want me to," she asked.
"Of course you can. Look, it is dark out. And I've had some drinks, I can touch you now," he said, smiling.
Now she was scared to. She really needed to get a grip.
"Come over here," he said now, and reached out his hand.
So taking his hand, she kind of crawled over and sat closer to him, still not touching him.
"I thought you were going to come closer?" he asked.
"I'm scared to," she said.
"Come on," he said.
So she got a little closer, sitting right next to him, side by side.
"There, that's not so bad, right?" he said.
It was hard for her to sit like that, still afraid to touch him but being so close. The frustration was in her throat, choking her a little, and to her embarrassment, her eyes filled with tears over it for a second. Of all things. If that didn't send him running away nothing would.
"Hey, what's wrong," he said.
"Nothing, I...it is just hard for me to be this close to you and not touch you. And I feel it all the time so I think maybe sitting this close to you and not being able to touch you is too much for me. I'll move away," she said.
He stopped her by touching her elbow.
"Don't," he said.
"You can touch me if you want.".
"Really? You don't mind?" she said.
"Unless you're planning on punching me in the face, no I don't mind," he said.
She laughed a little then.
"Seriously, knock yourself out," he said.
She thought about it for a minute. Took a deep breath. Still was scared, but she moved behind him.
"Where are you going?" he said.
"I can't look at you. Not at first anyway," she said.
She sat closely behind him, on her knees. Slowly, barely touching him, almost as if she was afraid she'd be burned, she put her hands on his shoulders and closed her eyes for a second.
She ran her hands from his shoulders and down his arms slightly, then back up and squeezed his shoulders a little. He closed his eyes now, just for a minute. It felt good.
Bracing herself on his shoulders, she lowered herself to the floor off her knees and her legs were around him, they were back to front, with her chest against his back.
She moved her hands, her fingers, to his neck, to his hair, feeling his skin, gently, so gently, trying to contain herself with the feelings running through her. Touching him, finally touching him.
Her hands ran down his back, under his arms now, pulling herself tighter against him now, touching his chest, leaning her cheek against the back of his neck and hugging him to her. His body felt relaxed to hers. She was still afraid to see his face though.
Then she felt his hands on hers, on his chest, pulling her to him tighter. She felt warm against his back, and he leaned against her, taking one hand and touching her knee as her leg ran along his, and ran under her knee, squeezing it gently. He could feel her breasts against his back.
She was so blissfully happy leaning against his back, and she lifted her face so close to his neck and without thinking gently moved her lips over the back of his neck. His eyes closed again involuntarily. That definitely kicked the soft warmth of their closeness up to another level.
She was aware she probably wasn't thinking straight but she really didn't want to snap out of the hypnosis she was under, touching him. Still with her arms around his chest, she moved her lips, not actually kissing him...yet, just barely breathing over the back of his neck, breathing only him. She felt him lean his head back a little, leaning into her mouth, seeming to want more of it.
So then she did gently kiss the back of his neck, and took one of her hands from his chest and bravely now, touched his cheek, softly, his chin...his mouth, tracing the back of his neck with her lips. Her other hand still held onto his chest, keeping her tightly to him, and his hands were under both her knees now, holding her to him tightly as well. She could feel his hands react to the touch of her mouth on his neck, squeezing a little more each time she kissed him.
As she touched his face, he leaned back more, so her lips moved up to his ear now, breathing into it, teasing him a little, kissing him more, over his ear now, to his face, and she could see his eyes were closed, and she was getting close...dangerously close.. to his mouth with hers.
And just as she was deciding to pull back, he softly turned his head in what seemed like the most natural of progression and she was kissing his mouth.
She didn't have time to think about it or be nervous about it or weigh the rights and wrongs of the it. Because it was what was supposed to happen next. And she kissed his mouth, gently, no tongues, just softly kissed his lips. And it felt so good. But then she got scared.
And pulled her mouth away, but not far.
He opened his eyes now, and she was so close to his face, and he reached up, and pulled her around him and into his lap. And now she was shaking a little. And wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him to her, her face buried in his shoulder, in his neck. His arms around her, his hands on her back.
And it felt so good to her to just lose herself in that feeling, being surrounded by him, held by him, more than hugged, really held.
With his hand in her hair now, she felt other things move within her, thinking about her mouth on his, and still scared, she kissed his neck where she had hid her face from him. She couldn't help it, her mouth so close to his skin. And his hand tightened a little bit in her hair as her mouth moved up, up to his face and he turned to her again, and this time, he kissed her.
And this time, she didn't want to pull away. Her fingers were at the back of his neck, in his hair, and he kissed her softly, gently, but then a little harder now, and she kept up with him, opening his mouth now with her tongue and her body moving in his lap, moving up to his mouth, wanting more of it. His fingers held her face and he kissed her harder, harder. And her body pressed against his chest.
She'd thought about this so many times but nothing prepared her for how good it felt to really kiss him, have him kiss her, feel his tongue move with hers, and it got hotter, and hotter and she got scared again but couldn't stop. She knew he couldn't either.
And he kissed her, and it was so good, better than he thought it would be, feeling her tense up with it, feeling her pushing against his body. He wanted more. He kissed her harder, wetter, hotter, and it was getting faster, and now, now his hand moved down her body, over her shirt, and he felt her fingers at his react to his touch by digging into his skin.
Which only served to prod him to touch her more, running his hand over her shirt, over her breast, to the end of her shirt, and he was scared too, but still, her tongue moved in his mouth, hot and hungry against his, and he had to, had to run his hand under her shirt, just up the side of her body, slowly, waiting to see what she would do.
She froze a little but his hand felt warm and strong there, and she could not stop it. She could not pull away from it, and it didn't go where she thought it would, and really at that point she would let him go anywhere, anywhere.
But he ran his hand over her skin to her back, stroked the naked skin of her back, felt her pushing against, felt her back moving, tensing, and really he could not stop his hand from running back to her front and felt her breath catch in his mouth as he traced the outline of the front of her bra, and felt her giving into his hand, his fingers, wanting it.
He was not sure they were ready for this. Or should do it, But he had to. There was nothing else that he could do.
And she was beyond saying no to anything. Really she never said no to him. Ever. And this, this was not where she was going to start, because she wanted his hands on her. All over her, everywhere, and her body wasn't going to let him stop. And still he hesitated. Just barely, almost.
"Touch me," she sighed, whispered into his mouth, and that was it He took over her mouth again, more, harder, kissing her, working her tongue with his, and it was getting really hot, so hot between them, the tension was almost unbearable but so good, so very good, and now with the kiss at a new height, faster, harder, hotter, he reached behind her again and unhooked her bra and he touched her then.
Her reaction did not disappoint as she arched her back, giving into his hand, pushing into it, his fingers tracing her breast down to the nipple, feeling it respond immediately to his fingers and that was so hot to feel how hard it got and hear her sigh so loudly and kiss him harder, her fingers digging into his back now, and he wanted more, and things got faster, and he no longer hesitated.
He pushed her shirt roughly up and out of the way now, and pulling his mouth away from hers as she sat across his lap he lifted her under her back to him and took that hard nipple into his mouth, and harder her fingers dug into his neck, his back, pulling him to her breast, sighing, gasping to his tongue and his mouth working around her nipple, first one, then the other.
And she, she had lost all trace of reasonable thought and her mind just ran a steady stream of wanting more, more, so good, yes and more.
He pulled her shirt over her head now, out of the way and she unbuttoned his and sat in his lap, straddling his lap now and kissed his mouth again as his hands stroked her breasts and teased her nipples with his fingers. This drove her to the point of near insanity and she pushed his back down onto the rug.
With him lying on his back, she stood up in front of him by the fire and pulled the rest of her clothes off so that she was naked before him, something she would normally be terrified to even consider, but now...now she wanted to be. Needed to be.
And he looked at her and smiled. There was nothing to think about now but her. She got back down to the floor and pulled the rest of his clothes off and crawled over his body, kissing him again, kissing his chest, and he felt her body against him and closed his eyes. She kissed his face again and pushed herself against him, and he could feel how wet she was.
She moved against him then and almost without both of them realizing what was happening, she moved up, over him, and he was inside her, and she gasped ...and his eyes opened ..looking at her...slightly in shock ...but more than that.
There were a few beats of silence as she searched his eyes - it seemed she was waiting for his okay..any sign it was all right...to move.
And still staring into her eyes, still on his back, his hands moved to her hips, over him, deep inside her, and grabbed them, hard, tightly. She knew then. And she moved.
Slowly, over him, she felt how hard he was inside her, and it was almost too much for her, too much to control how it felt, but then, she started to rock slightly, felt his hands tighten even more on her hips. She looked at the ceiling, biting her lip, and started to move up and down more, trying to stay slow, but it was hard, so hard, because she felt it rumbling inside her and knew..and his hands stroked and held her hips, and he watched her intently, feeling so hot and deep inside her, watching her body, looking really beautiful by the firelight, and he saw her face, and held on.
And still she tried to not go too fast, but it was getting harder, and he could see her fighting it, and didn't want her to.
"Go," he whispered, "go," and then she did, faster she moved on him, and it was really fucking unbelievable to feel it and watch her and it was really so good to feel her that wet and hot and up and down on him, faster she went and now she couldn't stop, and her hands went to her hair and pulled and her head went back and a shudder went through her and he felt it all the way through her, inside and out, still holding tightly to her hips, and now he sat up with her still grinding into his lap, pulled her to him, kissing her now, her mouth down on his, feeling her body, her hands on his shoulders, bracing herself and pushing herself up and down, riding him harder, and faster.
And with his mouth, with his tongue, he urged her on, it was so good and the faster she went the deeper their tongues were in each others mouths and her fingers dug into his shoulders now, drawing on his strength, and he pulled his mouth from hers and found her nipple with his tongue and sent her into a series of convulsive orgasms that were beyond erotic to watch, feel, hear and he was ready, so ready, especially as his mouth worked her nipple it made her movements faster, harder, faster, harder, rocking on him, wrapping herself tightly to him and then finally he came, his own fingers burning into her back and she felt it and did too. They wrapped tightly around each other still, together, unwilling yet to separate anywhere.
They were so close. So close.
And with her eyes closed and feeling him against and inside her, she knew from now on, all she wrote would be so much more real and true and finally that beautiful. Because now she knew. Knew what it was to be this close. And she did not ever want to let go.
"Anais, I don't know how to tell you what I feel. I live in perpetual expectancy. You come and the time slips away in a dream. It is only when you go that I realize completely your presence. And then it is too late. You numb me...
I don't know what to expect of you, but it is something in the way of a miracle. I am going to demand everything of you - even the impossible, because you encourage it. You are really strong. I even like your deceit, your treachery. It seems aristocratic to me." Letter from Henry Miller to Anais Nin – March 21, 1932

Alas, wearing a bicycle helmet almost every day as I do, my "Hawk" makes regular appearances. But I've knitted up a solution. Perusing knitting patterns over on Ravelry—a community, organizational tool, and yarn and pattern database for knitters and crocheters— last week, I stumbled across the Cycle Race Beanie by Sandra Jager and knew I just had to have that hat to wear post rides. Hats are du rigeur here in Bellingham, the more…um…interesting the better. And we wear them year round. Now, when the helmet comes off, the hat goes on. Take that Hawk!
Helmet Hair
Commuting by bike presents one niggling problem for me–helmet hair. While I'm definitely not the most vain person I know, Dee Dee with smooshed, flat hair is rather unbecoming. In fact, back in the 90s when I was wearing my hair shorter than I do now, it wouldn't hold much of a style and my stepsons started calling me "Hawk" after the character, Hawk in the campy 1990 Buck Rogers TV show. Like most of my many nicknames it stuck, and even now when my hair is flat, Ira is known to say, "pretty good Hawk you've got going there."

Above the ceorls, the peasants of the Anglo-Saxon world, sat the 'theigns'. They were to all intents and purposes the middle class. To qualify as a theign a man needed to own a minimum of 5 hides of land. A hide was not an exact measurement in Anglo-Saxon England but roughly equated to enough land for a family to live on. Although a ceorl from the top end of that class, a geatsas, might own that much or even more land this alone did not qualify them to be considered theign-worthy; they still had to be promoted to that position.
Theigns were appointed by the king initially and they did service to him accordingly, if they failed in this respect they could lose their lands and be demoted to the peasant classes or even suffer execution if their transgression was considered serious enough. In the begin it seems that theigns were warriors who took on the more common duties of management and they were made responsible for overseeing the building and maintaining of defences, bridges, and the organisation of the fyrd; the Saxon army. They were expected to give military service for which they would supply their own equipment; horses, servants, arms and armour. Later, the theigns also took on a more administrative role in ensuring that the peasant classes obeyed the king's law and fulfilled their duties.
As with the peasants the theigns had within their class further sub-divisions but these were not as clearly separated as in the ceorls. A theign's rank with regard to his peers would largely depend upon how much land and wealth he owned. Lower theigns would have at least the minimum five hides although most would have more than that. Middling theigns would probably have double to three times as much whereas high-theigns would own land holdings of the size of estates.
Royal-theigns were high-theigns who had been appointed by the king and they were only one step down from becoming eoldermen, that is, a member of the ruling classes. As with the peasants ability and achievement were rewarded with grants of land and money, so it was quite possible for an adept Saxon to move from being a ceorl to becoming a theign. The law did not allow him to move beyond that class but his son, if equally capable, had the opportunity to become an eolderman and be granted an eorldom of his own.
As with huscarls the king was not alone in enjoying the service of theigns, particularly rich eoldermen also appointed their own theigns. Indeed, it was even possible for a high-theign to have lower theigns giving service to them.
In many respects the theigns were the backbone of the fyrd. They could be expected to be reasonably well equipped and they had the wealth to allow them the time to practice the martial arts needed by a Saxon warrior. Although not as numerous as the coerls the theigns were a more capable body of fighting men and would have formed the front line of a shield wall; most certainly they would be in the second line. Battle gave the theigns a chance to prove their bravery and prowess, and many a many enjoyed the boon of a new grant of land or pieces of gold given by whichever lord they owed allegiance to after such a display. This would make them eager warriors and, therefore, dangerous men when swords were drawn and battle joined.

Glycine receptor alpha1 (IPR008128)
Short name: Glycine_rcpt_A1
Overlapping homologous superfamilies
Family relationships
- Neurotransmitter-gated ion-channel (IPR006201)
- Gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor/Glycine receptor alpha (IPR006028)
- Glycine receptor alpha (IPR008127)
- Glycine receptor alpha1 (IPR008128)
- Glycine receptor alpha (IPR008127)
- Gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor/Glycine receptor alpha (IPR006028)
Neurotransmitter ligand-gated ion channels are transmembrane receptor-ion channel complexes that open transiently upon binding of specific ligands, allowing rapid transmission of signals at chemical synapses [PMID: 1721053, PMID: 1846404]. Five of these ion channel receptor families have been shown to form a sequence-related superfamily:
- Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AchR), an excitatory cation channel in vertebrates and invertebrates; in vertebrate motor endplates it is composed of alpha, beta, gamma and delta/epsilon subunits; in neurons it is composed of alpha and non-alpha (or beta) subunits [PMID: 18446614].
- Glycine receptor, an inhibitory chloride ion channel composed of alpha and beta subunits [PMID: 15383648].
- Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor, an inhibitory chloride ion channel; at least four types of subunits (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) are known [PMID: 18760291].
- Serotonin 5HT3 receptor, of which there are seven major types (5HT3-5HT7) [PMID: 10026168].
- Glutamate receptor, an excitatory cation channel of which at least three types have been described (kainate, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and quisqualate) [PMID: 15165736].
These receptors possess a pentameric structure (made up of varying subunits), surrounding a central pore. All known sequences of subunits from neurotransmitter-gated ion-channels are structurally related. They are composed of a large extracellular glycosylated N-terminal ligand-binding domain, followed by three hydrophobic transmembrane regions which form the ionic channel, followed by an intracellular region of variable length. A fourth hydrophobic region is found at the C-terminal of the sequence [PMID: 1721053, PMID: 1846404].
Glycine is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter (NT) in the adult vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). Glycinergic synapses have a well-established role in the processing of motor and sensory information that controls movement, vision and audition [PMID: 11396606]. This action of glycine is mediated through its interaction with the glycine receptor (GlyR): an intrinsic chloride channel is opened in response to agonist binding. The subsequent influx of anions prevents membrane depolarisation and neuronal firing induced by excitatory NTs. Strychnine acts as a competitive antagonist of glycine binding, thereby reducing the activity of inhibitory neurones. Poisoning with strychnine is characterised by over-excitation, muscle spasms and convulsions. Whilst glycine is the principal physiological agonist at GlyRs, taurine and beta-alanine also behave as agonists [PMID: 11437237]. Compounds that modulate GlyR activity include zinc, some alcohols and anaesthetics, picrotoxin, cocaine and some anticonvulsants. GlyRs were thought for some time to be localised exclusively in the brain stem and spinal cord, but have since been found to be expressed more widely, including the cochlear nuclei, cerebellar cortex and forebrain [PMID: 11358478].
GlyRs belong to the ligand-gated ion channel family, which also includes the inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) and excitatory nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) and serotonin type 3 (5-HT3) receptors [PMID: 10414351]. Affinity-purified GlyR was found to contain two glycosylated membrane proteins of 48kDa and 56kDa, corresponding to alpha and beta subunits, respectively. Four genes encoding alpha subunits have been identified (GLRA1 to 4), together with a single beta polypeptide (GLRB). The heterogeneity of alpha subunits is further increased by alternative exon splicing, yielding two isoforms of GLRA1 to 3 [PMID: 11358478]. The characteristics of different GlyR subtypes, therefore, can be largely explained by their GLRA content.
GlyRs are generally believed to adopt a pentameric structure in vivo: five subunits assemble to form a ring structure with a central pore. Typically, a stoichiometry of 3:2 (alpha:beta) is observed [PMID: 11437237]. GlyR subunits share a high overall level of sequence similarity both with themselves and with the subunits of the GABAA and nACh receptors. Four highly conserved segments have been proposed to correspond to transmembrane (TM) alpha helices (TM1-4), the second of which is thought to contribute to the pore wall [PMID: 11358478]. A long extracellular N-terminal segment precedes TM1 and a long cytoplasmic loop links TM3 and 4. Short cytoplasmic and extracellular loops join TM1-2 and TM2-3, respectively, and a short C-terminal sequence follows TM4. Studies using radiolabelled strychnine have shown the alpha subunit to be responsible for ligand binding, the critical residues for this interaction lying within the N-terminal domain. The beta subunit plays a structural role, contributing one of its TM domains to the pore wall as well as playing a putative role in postsynaptic clustering of the receptor.
In several mammalian species, defects in glycinergic transmission are associated with complex motor disorders. Mutations in the gene encoding GLRA1 give rise to hyperplexia, or startle disease [PMID: 1323284]. This is characterised by muscular spasms in response to unexpected light or noise stimuli, similar to the symptoms of sublethal doses of strychnine. The mutations result in amino acid substitutions within the TM1-2 and TM3-4 loops, suggesting that these regions are involved in the transduction of ligand binding into channel activation.
In humans, the alpha 1 gene is located on chromosome 5p32 [PMID: 12036901]. In situ hybridisation studies have shown GLRA1 to be expressed in the spinal cord, brain stem and colliculi. GLRA1 trancripts, together with GLRA3, predominate in the postnatal CNS, replacing GLRA2, which is more abundant in embryonic and neonatal neurones.

So I'm addicted to ring porn!! And while I see some gorgeous stones under 1 carat, I can't help but notice those bees have very dainty fingers. I have a .87 princess cut and am a little self conscious that my size 8 finger "swallows" the stone. My Fiance says we can upgrade later. But I love this ring and have told him that's what he asked me to marry him with and chose for me with all the love in his heart, then it's my forever ring. No upgrade!
