What started out as a project for a few of her daughter's friends has grown into a social-media movement for Shauna Groenewold.
The mom and webmaster for the Department of Education in Lincoln, Neb., began making baby blankets eight years ago for girls who also happened to be pregnant high schoolers. Because the girls' experience was "scary and hard" and because they hadn't received any handmade gifts, according to Today.com, Groenewold took it upon herself to change that.
But Groenewold didn't stop there—and that's how #100BlanketsOfLove got its start.
She has since made 70 blankets for family, friends, co-workers and people she has met via social media, according to the site.

"A lot of times, people are just seriously shocked," Groenewold tells Today. "It's a very small gesture, but it took time and it's handmade, so it's kind of a big deal."
She reveals that each blanket takes about four hours to make and that she often finds herself working on a few in the car while on a road trip with her husband.
And although the original goal was to make 100 blankets, Groenewold says she's not stopping there.
"When you do something nice for somebody, what you get back is way better than what you do," she tells the site. "That's probably what keeps me looking for ways to do things."

For those who don't, here is a simple lemon pickle recipe to get started. After that, it is a question of finding some other great recipes and getting people to buy your pickle. Voila! You are in the pickling business.
Great Lemon Pickle
You will need some firm lemons, salt, bay leaves, star anise and black pepper.
Cut the lemons into quarters half of the way along, leaving the quarters connected.
Put a teaspoon of salt into each open lemon and close them back together.
Add each lemon to a sterile jar with a good lid.

Its her image on the cover of Miles' album "Filles De Kilimanjaro" (1968), which includes a song named after and about her -"Mademosille Mabry (miss Mabry)". His album "Bitches Brew" is in part a full on result of him having met her. It was she who convinced him to name such. After the marriage ended she moved to the U.K to further pursue her modeling career and write music with the intention of recording songs with Santana. Instead she would work a group of west coast funk musicians to make her own recordings.
Her first release being "Betty Davis" (1973), the next "They say I'm different" (1974), and her major label debut on Island Records, "Nasty Gal" (1975). None of the three albums were a commercial success, though she would remain a cult figure as a singer. The musical tribute to her was an extremely moving event that helped to spread much needed knowledge about her, and why she did not seem to gain the commercial success wanted. Though she did get record contract offers she would turn down most because they did not give her enough control. Her open sexual attitude was very controversial for the time for a black woman in the music industry. Some of her shows were boycotted and her songs not played on the radio due to pressure from religious groups. One album she was putting together in which Miles was helping with, he decided to shelve it, a serious set-back for her.
Betty Mabry Davis remains a prolific figure who helped to influence a major era in music, and at the the same time a tragic figure who society was not fully ready for. She has become in fact the stuff of legends, a woman like many others, head of her time. Nucomme & The Curators musical tribute was great in bring this across.

It started a couple of days ago when Alan Pardew suggested he would not be too happy that his friend Papiss Cisse was scoring all the goals and in the limelight at Newcastle.
Demba Ba congratulates Cisse after first goal yesterday
That comment was about Demba Ba, and Alan laughed at his news conference for the Swansea game, by saying he would put Ba back in the middle soon and that would put a smile on his face.
But when Papiss Cisse scored that first goal yesterday, Demba Ba was delighted, and Papiss had just scored his 8th goal in 8 games for Newcastle in the number 9 shirt.
And then Ba was taken off after 59 minutes and replaced by Shane Ferguson, and it's true he didn't look too happy at being substituted.
But it was to ensure he was fresh and ready for the next big game – on Monday afternoon against a rejuvenated Bolton side at St. James' Park.
And then when Cisse scored his second phenomenal goal after 69 minutes, when a second goal was need to lift the pressure on Newcastle, the TV commentators added to the drama by saying everybody in the Newcastle dugout had celebrated except Demba Ba.
We don't know if that was true or not, but we think this is more of a media made-up thing than anything else.
Ba did put out a couple of tweets yesterday after the game on his Twitter account, the first one was as follows:
"Feel so good to be 5th on the table. With only 6 game to go. Cant sleep……. May be run a marathon today haha"
And then he responded to reports he was frustrated yesterday, and he responded this way:
"When you love football like I do, you wanna play every minute. End of the day we win. So I'm glad once again smiley"
What Demba Ba could be disappointed at is having to play out on the left hand side in a 4-3-3 formation, since the chances are seeming to come to Papiss Cisse in the center.
And not only did Papiss score two great opportunist goals yesterday, but he was back in defense helping out too, like all the Newcastle players.
Maybe the best formation for Ba would be a 4-4-2 formation where both he and Cisse are in the middle, but the way things have gone these last four games – four wins, 8 goals scored and only the dumb goal conceded at West Brom – Alan Pardew is not going to change things.
Monday is another day, and Bolton will be tough, but maybe Demba Ba can get back on the goals trail then.
We suspect a lot of the news on Demba Ba is either made up, or is being blown way out of all proportion.
At least we hope that's the case.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

Pardew and the board are no mugs.
IMO they know that Ba's release clause means he will be off in the summer if a club pays him a big signing on fee and big wages. Ba has to look after his oen interests – his knee could go at anytime and NUFC won't pay over the odds because of that.
So Pardew is getting the team used to having Cisse playing the central role rather than Ba in case Ba leaves.
That is sound management and I believe it is the truth no matter Pardew might try to have us believe.
Agreed. At one point of the game we were playing a 6-3-1 formation with Ba up front by himself and Cisse at RB lol.
I think it's just all hype. Ba knows he is good and I'm sure he will start scoring soon. Like he said as long as the team are winning thats what counts.
In saying that I really hope he scores on Monday so we can put this to bed and shut the stupid media specualtion up as well.
Feed the sheep and Ba will score
Ba nearly scored that goal…if he went for the near post he would have scored I am sure…
Ba cant leave its just not right….sorry to say…It would be wrong on so many levels….
BUT if it was to happen, we would need a replacement of BA's proportion if not better, that is hard nowadays to find somebody that just fits…I hope Ba does not forget the fact no other club WANTED him…..we took him in with open arms…hope he never forgets that….
where was PSG a year ago….Demba….
Ba scored in his first match with Cisse, although it was a more orthodox 442.
I see no reason why they can't interchange up front and stretch defences, but with Cisse on fire you'd be loath to change a thing ATM. I'd like to see Ba amongst the goals again but if we'r scoring and winning I'm sure he will be happy for the team.
Ba is really our only other quality striker, so if Cisse gets injured he will step up to the plate.
Cabaye is really grasping the ACM role, he will get a goal soon as he is always making forward runs into the box – sheer quality that lad, the two passes to Cisse were world class.
I agree with Bills-son, @2 but not surprisingly, because of totally different reasons!
Ba IS likely to be away due to the release clause which almost guarantees a player (especially with fitness concerns) a short tenure at a club if he proves successful. Add to the mercenary player, the unscrupulous ownership, and you get the revolving door policy. They gambled on Ba on a free and he came good – that way the player gets his next move and the club make a decent profit and move on to another cheap gamble. Everyone is a winner!
Errrrr….well not quite…because the fans are a trifle disappointed at the "revolving door" policy at the club….but hey, this is part and parcel of the great "Business plan" (read Neil Ashton's article in the Mail yesterday – for once a thought provoking and revealing tabloid article). Next year it is likely to be Cabaye/HBA
Pardew has done magnificent in welding a team together and going on a terrific march up the table…but he knows fine well, he won't have some of the mainstays of his team here next year…prob Ba and Tiote….and we will be replacing not building.
As some of the one's who haven't joined Lobotomy Valley realise, this is why the club have to put Mackem offers to the masses in order to fill the stadium even when they are doing so well.
Stepping Stone Club….many accept that after the trauma of 3 years ago…but as someone who has witnessed it before, it becomes very irritating, very quickly.
I don't think the problem with Ba playing on the left is that big – he's playing as a part of a three man strikeforce. Most teams these days that aspire to more have abandon the 4-4-2 way of thinking and adabted to a lonestriker formtion or a three man strikeforce; it all depends on your point of view.
The task ahead of Pardew is how he construct this 4-3-3 formation; there are so many ways to go and I am sure he can find a way to keep both Ba and HBA happy and still manager to win games. Not just winning as it way the case at the start of the season, but winning while putting in a great attractive performance.
At the end of the day we should all aspire to that. Winning is just one part of game!
We have discussed this before and some are still infatuated with the 4-4-2 way of thinking and others have moved on a long time ago – thank god for that 😉
I used to say I would just hope Pardew at some point would learn from his mistakes and learn to kill his darlings 🙂 that is the true signs of a great manager in the making.
I think Pardew is just that.
solano, there is no guarantees in football mate – Look at Arsenal, Liverpool or Spurs.
Any player has his prices; tht's just the way it is and should be. It doesn't mean we will sell Ba or Tiote just because Spurs or Liverpool put in a bid. A silly bid like Liverpool did with Carroll, of cause we will 🙂 And rightly so.
In fact any club would.
We are building a team here and a sound and healthy business here make no mistake.
Does Ba have a release clause, i don't know, but I think he'll stay. I think most players are going to stay on less someone comes in with a silly bid.
@bills-son Ba leaving may seem likely but the article makes a very valid point. Idiots like Chris Coleman who know very little about Newcastle shouldn't be talking about Ba as if he's had a Bellamy-esque bust-up with the club/Pardew.
If the board has genuine aspiration it needs to be keeping this current crop together – it's that reason ManU will beat ManC to the title – players have been together for years. @jesperfuglsang's right in that he needs to incorporate both HBA and Ba which for me means playing HBA on RM and Demba-Demba up front.
Jesper I take your point that there are no guarantees in football…and I do look at Arsenal and Tottenham and think we only lack in having the ambition to have a real crack at them in the top four….but do you really trust Del and Fatboy to invest in Challenging at the top above profit? Really?
It's the trust thing again…and I don't trust anyone who is willing to disregard what should be one of the one guaranteed things in football – Newcastle playing at St. James' Park- in the pursuit of promoting another business for free!
IMHO I think Ashley is going to invest in the club as he sees it is withing touching distance of the top once again. The team only need a few more key players to be a top four side, then I think Ashley may see the benefits of Europe as a cash cow. Hopefully that will lead to more investment and everyone will be happy. Unfortunately we will have to wait for the outcome of that one.
solano, i dont agree with everything Mike does, but at the end of the day he is a businessman and a businessman want his business to do well and at least break even.
He has made some past mistakes and it makes to be seen whether he has learned from them.
Since promotion I have beem impressed on most parts, but he does tend to want to make the headlines at times for the wrong reasons.
For me St. James Park will always be St. James Park, but Newcastle need to increase revenue so it breaks even and so we have more money to spend in the transfermarket.
But I think renaming St. James Park will turn out against Mike and backfire on him.
I still hope he will come good on this on 🙂
solano @ 9 & 13
There you go again with your revolving door and stepping stone nonsense. There is NO EVIDENCE to support these statements. NONE.
You continue to allow your hatred of Ashley to blind you to the facts. And the facts are these;
1. Since MA decided to keep the club after we got relegated – and take personal control of the strategy and planning – we have become a club that is the envy not only of many other clubs fans, but many clubs owners too.
2. Every single controversial decision that MA has taken since relegation – with the exception of the stadium renaming – has since been accepted ny 90% of fans as the right decision ie., appointing Hughton not Shearer, replacing Hughton with Pardew, selling AC for £35M, replacing Barton and Nolan with Cabaye and Tiote, 'not signing a CF in the summer – we DID – Ba, its just that 99% of fans didnt realise we HAD signed a CF. MA was SLAGGED by fans at the time for these decision – and no one more virulently than YOU solano – BUT ASHLEY WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG.
3. MA has no ambition you say? So why has he given improved big money long term contracts to Krul, STaylor, Tiote, Guti and even 30yr old Colo + signed Cisse for £9M ?? You will say its purely so he can sell them in the summer for a bigger profit. That is one twisted way to look at it. The same twisted Ashley hatred filled way you look at everything he does – but time and time and time again you are proved WRONG.
4. On selling Ba and Tiote in the summer – there is nothing we can do about Ba because in my opinion he simply isnt worth the gamble of paying him the megabucks others might offer. Before Cisse signed we thought Ba was irreplaceable. Cisse proves he isnt – simple as that. MA, Pardew and Carr will already have Ba's replacement lined up should he leave – and recent signings show we'll replace quality with quality.
On Tiote – very good player BUT he doesn't score and he doesn't assist. Our midfield is lacking in goals – period – and I would sell Tiote if a club offered £25M+ but I don't think MA would sell below that.
5. We aren't ManU or City or Arsenal or even Spurs in terms of revenue. Our annual income is £80M half of the £160M of Spurs and Man City and nearly £200M behind Arsenal and ManU. MA has already put £270M into the club including an interest free loan of £140M which costs him – and saves the club – something like £7M a year. That gives MA the RIGHT to sell a player if another club is prepared to pay way over the odds – like LPool did for AC. And what MA has proved is that he WILL reinvest that money as has done with improved contracts for our top players and signings like Santon and Cisse. The fact that he didn't do it as soon as he got the AC money is purely proof that he has the sense to wait for the right buys – rather than be stampeded by baying haters like you to spend it immediately.
If we do sell Tiote – and I believe he (apart from BA) is the ONLY top player that might be sold in the summer – I have no doubt the money will be used to buy more quality and take us further forward quicker.
You solano – more than any other fan on this blog – know that I have had total trust and belief in MA's ambition for our great club – I see that trust and belief becoming reality. You see only 'revolving doors' and 'stepping stone club'. I pity you solano. You should be rejoicing in the fantastic team and club that MA is building. A team that is really going places with a real chance of winning that first trophy in nearly 60 years that all Toon fans crave for.
And yet … you wallow in negativity, blinded by your hatred of Ashley, and no doubt fuelled by your hatred of knowing Ashley has proved you wrong.
How sad solano. How very sad.
Jesper….revenue streams? They haven't paid a penny for the renaming and I agree it will haunt them…a look at the last accounts figures will show u how the EXISTING revenue streams are not being exploited to the full and that's because they don't have the trust of a large number of fans or indeed the city! The club's reliance on tv revenue has increased significantly whilst turnover is woeful compared to the "bigger clubs"
@bills-son 16…
i have to say this is the first post ive seen with such support for ashley – and i agree. i have to say in spite of everything he has done – the 'bad' decisions, the sacking of hughton, the keegan fiasco etc – surely us fans can now see the bigger picture ? i have been on the terraces of away games singing anti-ashley chants, posted my anger on facebook, but this has now stopped.
i think we should just forget about our owner now – its old news – and concentrate on supporting the team. players will come players will go – it will happen in summer for sure – but im yet to see one player sold who hasnt been replaced with a better plater ? carr knows what he is doing.
Bills…I have spent some time incapacitated in the last few months and have had time to assess my views of this blog, your hatred of me, and life in general 😉
Your persistent crowing no longer annoys me, as you don't actually have the balls to take up an offer to air your views in public and meet people of varying views in neutral venues. You persist in claiming you were right ( when indeed you are predominantly wrong) ignore historical facts and claim, as the team is winning, you have been proven right and the argument has ended…but it hasn't ended.
My opinion is as valid now as it has been all along…because I have never called for Pardews head and have actually given him my total support…but am wary of the motives of his employers. What Del and Mike have consistently failed to do is win over the trust and support of the Newcastle public. Unfortunately, not only have they failed, they actually have no interest in engendering it – that is because their plan is based around player profiteering and "stepping stone" status.
Your comment on how we are not as big as Spurs is an indictment on the owner of the club – we are far bigger in everything but revenue (and that is only since Ashley tookover) as well you know it…but speak to Derek, and he would tell you something else – because that's what they do "tell lies" as proven and admitted in court.
As for not enjoying seeing my beloved club winning – utter rhubarb! Absolutely great to see and a great tonic in my recovery!
solano – you talk utter garbage.
I was predominatly wrong? What – when more than a year ago I said Ashley had a plan to take this club forward – and you said his only plan was to hover above a relegation spot with a team of mediocrity? Do you want me to pull out our posts from a year ago and embarass you again to prove my point?
I'm not gloating solano – it is you who gloat with your continued Ashley bashing. Read unclepauly @ 18 – his reassessment of Ashley is the conclusion that 80% of fans that I talk to – and read on this blog – have come to.
And that is that MA – despite his mistakes of the past – is moving this club forward big time.
That is clear to any sensible, fair minded fan, something you very clearly are not. Your arrogance continues to shine through solano. It is your weak link, but you don't see it.
Bills…you have consistently gloated and have actually upset more neutral bloggers by implying that people who are more circumspect of your heroes, do not enjoy the team winning.
This is clearly a ridiculous standpoint and shows you to be actually more polarised than anyother contributor on this forum…a team winning clouds many underlying issues….but my consistent gripe with the regime is the continued disregard for the views of the fans and the pursuit of a limited plan to be "best of the rest" and let the "big clubs" pursue success on the pitch by picking at our foundations. The faith in constantly replacing in strong positions and not strengthening the squad in weaker one's remains, imo, a one which is unsustainable if the club want to actually regain their status as a top club which we achieved under Keegan and SBR.
Pardew has done excellent and has the ability it seems to replicate the achievements of the afore mentioned, but most people have observed how he has lacked support at times by his bosses and is expected to pull rabbits out of the hat almost ad infinitum.
solano – the donkey wager just showed that Ashley was even smarter than I imagined.
I said we would spend £15-£20M of the AC money in the summer or eat hay with a Mckem donkey – my real point was that we WOULD buy quality and I totally underestimated Ashley, Pardew and Carr's ability to find gems like Ba, Cabaye, Santon, Obertan, Abheid and Marveaux for a combined total of £12M.
Sometimes its great to be wrong !
solano says '.but my consistent gripe with the regime is the continued disregard for the views of the fans and the pursuit of a limited plan to be "best of the rest" and let the "big clubs" pursue success on the pitch by picking at our foundations.

Who says the plan is out to be 'best of the rest' ? Not Ashley or Pardew., This is simply your deluded opinion.
The big clubs pursue success by 'picking at our foundations' ? What, like Carrol at Liverpool, or Barton at QPR, or Nolan at West Ham or Routledge at Swansea.? Only Enrique has been a miss – but – he is at a club 14pts behind us albeit he has won a Lge Cup medal.
So WHERE are these players who have been plucked from us by the 'big clubs' ? Eh …. there aren't any. Another totally fabricated and deluded opinion.
You say – The faith in constantly replacing in strong positions and not strengthening the squad in weaker one's remains, imo, a one which is unsustainable – ABSOLUTE UNFOUNDED NONSENSE. Why? Read paragraph above for a clue. Hint – we haven't sold any of our best players – we are doing the opposite with most of them – signing them up on new contracts.
solano says – Pardew has done excellent and has the ability it seems to replicate the achievements of the afore mentioned, but most people have observed how he has lacked support at times by his bosses and is expected to pull rabbits out of the hat almost ad infinitum.' NONSENSE. Why? Read above para for a clue. Hint – we are signing opur best players up on long term contracts, signed Cisse for £9M in Jan even tho we had Ba one of the Prem's top scorers, and we will be signing top class defenders and you players in the summer. Ashley not supporting Pardew? – what a joke!
solano – it is not my views that are in the minority – it is YOURS. Ask the fans on this blog.
PS. Your negging big mates MacToon and Goalsbringsmiles are significant by their absence. Or are they posting under new names to hide their negging past I wonder.
Bills right though isn't he on virtually every level?
Talking about Bill's hatred of you – sounds a bit paranoid and unhealthy.
I have always been pro – Ashley, but until recently decidedly undecided or negative about Pardew. I am now very happy to admit I was was wrong about him and what direction we were headed. Hopefully exciting times ahead and time to move on and enjoy it, otherwise it will just eat away at you.
Bills…this blog has lost a lot of followers because the debating and analytical quality of posting has deteriorated so much that an alternative view to Lobotomy Valley is in the main pointless….I can't speak for the 2 you mention, but I do notice that there are a few other organisations which have sprung up and are taking a more pro-active approach to issues regarding the ridiculous name change issue. Maybe they are as good as their word?
Probably better than exchanging inanities on here……but my incapacity has drawn me back a little to catch up on some old friends. 😉
It gets better…oh dogshite rant has shaken his anti- Pardew chains and joined forces again and the old tag team is united!!
Rotonda…Bills is the very example of unhealthy obsession – in my unplanned absence he couldn't stop mentioning me in his posts as my archivist has informed me.
Read above…and you will find I love to see our team winning ( a lot more so than you when you had an unhealthy dislike for our manager) but certain issues have not disappeared…it's an ongoing rollercoaster which we should be enjoying but has been tempered a little by what Mike and Del are throwing out along the way!
I'd see a psychiatrist, if I were you, seem clinically paranoid and unhealthily bitter. I noticed how your daily vitriol waned into a smattering of posts, on threads that everyone has moved on from, ever since this season has looked more and more a success, proving you emphatically wrong.
You're a sad guy.

Railways & The Raj by Christian Wolmar.
Pre-launch Launch!! Daunt's Books, 83 Marylebone High Street.
Monday 30th October 2017
The mark of the historian is the ability to see across the depth and breadth of a subject, to take in all the known facts, and then to present these in a narrative that does not worry itself with prevailing views.
The historian needs to be able to almost look down on the subject, and see the scope of the material, the interplay of all the individual parts and the external influences on the whole.
So, Christian Wolmar's elevated position at Daunt's Books on Monday evening (30th October 2017) was somehow fitting.
Christian Wolmar(with James Nightingale,Atlantic Books)
One of the first points you grasp, is that the early British railway investors were…er..grasping.
The 5% guaranteed return on their investment was to be made good by..the Indian people, via taxation..i.e. those least able to afford it, and treated worse than cattle when they did use the railway. And not trusted to look after the more technical and managerial tasks..at least, not in the early days.
This was not a railway system to benefit the people, but to support the military and commercial elements.. a strategic railway…
But the very thing that was used to bring the whole of India under the Empire's control, was also the catalyst for the independence movement …
And the horrendous events of partition, and the indecent haste in leaving India by the Europeans left a legacy hardly worth crowing about.
Still, in more recent years, the Indian Railway network has flourished. And although the safety record (who would want to travel in Mumbai, where the "super dense crush load factor" is a daily occurrence, and around ten people a day die under the trains' wheels?) is better than it was, much work on that score still needs attention.
Of course, there are plenty of aspects to celebrate, not least the engineering feat of the Konkan Railway, running down that most difficult of terrains on the west coast.
If there is one book that you should read on the subject, then this is it.

Oh Burleigh you little beauty, what's not to love right? Since the dawn of time (or the dawn of the GC at least) Burleigh has been one of the most-loved suburb amongst a slew of strong contenders.
Sure the beach is beautiful and James Street boasts all the best eats and acai bowls galore but it's more than that, Burleigh has a soul of its own born of cruisy, barefoot, salty seabreeze vibes you simply won't find anywhere else.
Gushing aside, here are 17 solid reasons why the locals love it and you should too (or else).
Burleigh Hill
Well hasn't this simple little piece of Mother Nature become a local legend of late. No matter the day of the week (but particularly Sunday arvos) "the hill" as it's affectionately known is packed with picnic rugs, ball games and groups of revelers basking in the sunshine. Looking out over the ocean and with the city in the distance, it's the perfect spot for a late afternoon lemonade or early morning coffee date with the crew. If you're feeling energetic, take a stroll around the hill to Talle Creek for some Insta-worthy scenery.
Where: The south end of The Esplanade, Burleigh Heads
Sean Scott Boutique
Gold Coast local Sean Scott is a world-renowned surf and nature photographer and his gallery on James Street is filled with his stunning images and the coolest of clothing and accessories.

Where: Shop 3, Goodwin Terrace, Burleigh Heads
Burleigh Bowls Club
A relaxing little beachside club loved by young and old alike, Burleigh Bowls has been around since 1937 and is certainly a prime piece of real estate these days. Barefoot Bowls roll on from 12 to 5pm every Sunday and it's a measly $5 per person including coaching and bowls (AKA balls whipper snappers). Live music can be heard on Sunday arvos from 2 to 6pm. Get down and support your local while sipping on a schooner.

Pegasus Airlines, Turkey's leading low-cost carrier with a rapidly expanding network and affordable fares, is celebrating its second year of flights to Dubai after launching the route on 18 October 2012.
Since launching flights to Dubai, Pegasus Airlines has flown over 130,000 guests on the route with one-way fares from London Stansted starting at just £191.
Attracting guests from across a number of countries as well as from various cities within Turkey, 60% of guests flying to Dubai from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport since the beginning of 2014 has been transit guests. During 2014, most guests flying to Dubai and back in transit travelled from Sweden (Arlanda), France (Paris) and Denmark (Copenhagen). Pegasus guests from the UK make up for 3% of total transit guests to Dubai; totalling to around 3,000 guests.
A well-known favourite for price-conscious business and leisure travellers, Dubai paints the perfect picture of luxury set against appealing beaches and high-quality establishments. Pegasus flies to Dubai five times weekly flights from London Stansted via Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen. Flights to Dubai via Istanbul depart from London Stansted at 13:10 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, returning at 05:25 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.


text: Saw it on Fox News this AM, Apple is going to start producing iPhones with CDMA chips for Verizon. When that happens, this may make for a good poll (moderators, hint hint)... How many would ditch their Droid for an iPhone with Verizon? Considering I bought the Droid for an iPhone-like experience but hated AT&T's coverage, and for me Verizon's superior cell coverage trumps the need to run multiple apps at one time (the biggest advantage IMO of a Droid over an iPhone other than Google Nav (which might just be available on a 4th gen iPhone)), I think I might just have to get an iPhone. What about y'all?

By Dan Skelly, Executive Director and Head of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management's Equity Model Portfolio Team
This year's stock market leaders and laggards have pretty much performed along with their fundamentals. So what is the data telling us about the rest of 2017?
Loan growth, rising dividends and stronger capital market activity may signal opportunities in the lagging sector.
As U.S. economic surprises slowed in the first half of the year, growth stocks—led by tech and health care—rebounded sharply from their post-election sell-off, offering the potential for growth. In this same period, economies in Europe and the emerging markets strengthened, boosting global cyclicals. Lagging have been energy, which suffered an oil glut, and retail stores, which lost ground to e-commerce. The weaker dollar has helped global staples and consumer products, and lower interest rates bolstered utilities.
Top Dividend Stocks For 2018: Cummins Inc.(CMI)
Advisors' Opinion:
- [By WWW.THESTREET.COM]
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on Salesforce.com (CRM) , Paccar (PCAR) , Cummins (CMI) , ConocoPhillips (COP) , Adobe Systems (ADBE) , Annaly Capital (NLY) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) .
- [By WWW.THESTREET.COM]
There are lots of stories like that out there these days. People were perplexed about the Illinois Tool Works (ITW) and Cummins Engine (CMI) and Caterpillar (CAT) quarters, but they turned out to be classic buying opportunities after years of being sell opportunities if the stocks had run. I can't explain to you how amazing that is. Here are three stocks that have spent months and months in purgatory when they have missed or guided down or slashed forecasts. Now they are up gigantically.

Making mining equipment has been a horrible business over the last few years. The industry has been hard-hit by the spending cutbacks at mine sites around the world. For example, BHP Billiton Limited trimmed its capital exploration expenditures by roughly 70% between fiscal 2013 and 2016. No wonder Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT), Komatsu Ltd. (NASDAQOTH:KMTUY), and Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) have been hurting. Only that looks like it's starting to change, which means this trio could be at the top of a list of mining equipment companies to buy in 2017.
- [By Chris Lange]
The S&P 500 stock posting the largest daily percentage loss ahead of the close Friday was Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) which traded down about 5% at $159.44. The stocks 52-week range is $134.06 to $181.79. Volume was over 3.5 million versus the daily average of 1.2 million shares.
Top Dividend Stocks For 2018: TAL International Group Inc.(TAL)
Advisors' Opinion:
- [By Craig Jones]
Instead of buying TAL Education Group (ADR) (NYSE: TAL), Cramer would buy Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA).
Cramer thinks Burlington Stores Inc (NYSE: BURL) is going to have a good quarter, because Ross Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROST) posted a good one, and they have similar business models.
Top Dividend Stocks For 2018: ONEOK Inc.(OKE)
Advisors' Opinion:
- [By Garrett Cook]
Citi maintains Buy ratings on Targa Resources (NYSE: TRGP), ONEOK (NYSE: OKE) and Oneok Partners (NYSE: OKS) citing the companies stories around natural gas liquids (NGLs).
- [By Matthew DiLallo]
Energy infrastructure companies ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) and TransCanada (NYSE:TRP) are both emerging from the energy market downturn as stronger entities. Each made smart acquisitions, with TransCanada buying U.S. gas pipeline company Columbia Pipeline Group, while ONEOK is in the process of gobbling up its MLP,ONEOK Partners (NYSE:OKS). While these deals enhanced the growth profiles of both companies, TransCanada still stands out as the better buy for long-term income investors. Here's why.
Top Dividend Stocks For 2018: Amphenol Corporation(APH)
Advisors' Opinion:
- [By Darren Williams] Although the entire cannabis space has quietly taken a hit of their own medicine in recent weeks and gone to sleep, don't think for one second the entire space isn't going to light up again soon. That's just what they do, right? However, knowing who the pretenders are and knowing who the contenders are is really the challenge when it's comes right down to it.
First, anyone who claims to be a grower or a seller of cannabis can't for one second ever make it as a public company right now, or can even legally consider being a public company for that matter, so you can scratch any of those right off your list. At least here in the U.S. anyway, because Canada is already well ahead of the curve having legalized it for medicinal purposes already.
More importantly, full legalization of marijuana in Canada appears to be on track for July 2018, which will make Canada just the second nation in the world after Uruguay to completely legalize the cultivation, sale and possession of the drug for medical and recreational purposes.
Regardless, the best time to buy any stocks in a hot growth sector is when either everyone has forgotten about them, or when the overall market landscape has turned bearish, which has yet to happen. However, the former seems to be the case for the cannabis space, despite some very favorable state legislation last Fall.
For now, as long as you have a license issued by Health Canada, you're good to go, so there are some stocks trading in Canada already who are well on their way to making some green for investors. Canopy Growth Corporation (TSE: WEED), formerly Tweed Marijuana Inc., is a medical marijuana company based in Smiths Falls, Ontario. Aurora Cannabis Inc. (CVE: ACB), which is engaged in the production and sale of medical cannabis. There's also Aphria Pharmaceutical Company (TSE: APH), which also is engaged in producing and selling medical marijuana through retail sales and wholesale channels.
There are many more, but those are just a

The Ladybugs' Recipes
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. 2. In a 10 inch springform pan combine well the gingersnaps and the melted butter.
3. Press the mixture on the bottom and up the side of the pan. 4. In a food processor or in a large bowl
with an electric mixer beat together the eggs, 2 cups of granulated sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and cream cheese until the
mixture is smooth. 5. Pour the mixture into the pan.
(I do this all in a food processor and don't even wash it between the crust steps and the cream cheese part and I preheat
the cream cheese, lightly covered in the microwave until it is just warm-This really speeds things up).
6. Bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour. 7. Turn off the oven. 8. Let the cheesecake stand
in it with the door ajar for 1 hour. 9. While the cheesecake is standing, in a small bowl let the raisins macerate
(soak) in the rum and 1/4 cup warm water for 10 minutes and drain them. 10. In a saucepan combine the macerated
raisins, the zest, the remaining 1 cup granulated sugar and cream. 11. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil it,
stirring, for 5-6 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly. Let the mixture cool. 12. In a bowl blend together
the flour, brown sugar and chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 13. Spread the raisin mixture
over the cheesecake. 14. Sprinkle it with the flour mixture.15. Broil the cheesecake under a preheated
broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 2-4 minutes, or until it is golden and bubbling on top.16. Let the cheese
cake cool slightly and chill it covered loosely for at least 2 hours or overnight.
This recipe for the basic cheesecake part was a result of my quest (as a chef) for a simple fool-proof NY style cheesecake.
You'll notice the cheesecake itself has very few ingredients. It can be cut right in half ingredient-wise for a smaller pan.
This variation was the most popular and was featured some years ago in GOURMET. Most people think it's best served at room
temperature although I've been known to charge extra for it right out of the oven!

How the Project was structured
The Imagining Futures project was conducted by me at Warwick Medical School, and was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (a major funder of social research in the UK). The research consisted of two phases; in-depth interviews and a survey. To support the research and offer advice and guidance, two advisory groups were set up. One advisory group comprised of 6 SMA Support UK (formerly known as The Jennifer Trust) staff members who are experienced at supporting people with SMA. The second committee, known as the 'expert review panel' comprised of people living with SMA and their families. Further information about the expert review panel can be found on the project website. The advisory groups were consulted three times throughout the course of the project, once at the start of the project, once to advise on the development of the survey and finally near the end of the project to offer input on the results. Both advisory groups were involved in the development of this report.
Phase One: Qualitative Interviews 2013 - 14
The first phase of the project comprised 36 interviews. Participants were recruited into the study through an advertisement placed in SMA Support UK's Inspirations newsletter and through their website. Of those who responded and participated in an interview, 24 people had SMA in their family and 12 people had SMA themselves. The participants represented a range of Types and experiences of SMA. During the interviews, participants were asked to talk in detail about their experiences with SMA and also how these might have impacted on any reproductive decisions they had made (particularly their decisions to use or not use screening and testing technologies both for SMA and other conditions), and their views about screening for SMA being offered to the general population. The interviews revealed a wide range of views on screening for SMA, and also the complex ways in which prior experiences with SMA are brought to bear in reproductive decisions.
To give you examples of the range of perspectives, here are two anonymised excerpts from the interviews (reproduced with permission of the participants). The first excerpt, from a parent whose child has SMA Type 1, shows support for screening and a sense of anger and frustration that screening was not available at the time their child was born,
"I think I'd probably vote for screening if it came to a vote, because it's that person's choice. So it's not fair to take the choice away from them if you've got the technology already knocking about to give them that choice…[…]…I actually asked the doctor at [hospital] when [child] was diagnosed, how come they missed it as I had all my scans…and he [the doctor] just said it's not something they test for…[…] and I was gobsmacked. Couldn't get my head around it at all. And I love [child] to pieces…[…] but the SMA we could do without thanks! So I would just see it [screening] would take away some of those problems…It only seems fair that they [other parents] have a choice because it's far from easy!"
In contrast to this view, some families and adults with SMA expressed the view that they thought that a national screening programme would mean that people would make decisions about having a child with SMA without insight into the positive things that people with SMA bring into the world, which would be lost if would-be parents opted to terminate their pregnancies affected by SMA. As one parent of a child with SMA Type 2 commented,
"You see what worries me about screening is that you're being asked to make a decision about having a child with a particular condition before you've actually had any experience of that condition. If someone had told me before I had [child] that he'd have SMA, he'd always be in a wheelchair, that he'd be in and out of hospital every year with chest infections, spinal operations what have you, I'd have run away screaming probably! [laughs] People think they can't cope with a situation until they're put in that situation and then they just get on with it. My worry is that screening becomes the easy way out. You don't bother to find out actually how much you can cope with because you're allowed to press the emergency eject button…[…]….and I know I would have been one of those parents saying 'I can't do it, it's too hard, I can't take this on' I just know I would, but do you know what? We're fine and I'm a stronger better person because of it"
This contrast between the views of those who support screening, and those who had reservations about what screening might mean ran across all of the interviews, highlighting the fact that screening is a controversial topic area for many adults and families living with SMA and that there isn't a clear cut unanimous viewpoint amongst affected families as to whether screening for SMA is a good idea or not.
Phase Two: The SMA Screening Survey (UK) 2014 - 15
To get a broader understanding of how widespread the views expressed in the interviews were amongst the larger population of people with experience of SMA, the second stage of the project involved sending out a survey, the 'SMA Screening Survey (UK)', to as many people as possible who are living with SMA. To design this survey, many of the key 'themes' and ideas that were raised in the interviews were turned into survey questions so that a larger population of families could answer how much they agreed or disagreed with the ideas (you can find a link to the SMA Screening Survey (UK) here. The two advisory groups were also asked for their feedback on the survey, and ethical approval for it was granted by the Biomedical and Scientific Research Ethics Committee at Warwick Medical School in the summer of 2014. Two versions of the survey were created- a paper version, which participants could post back using a pre-paid envelope, and an online version, which was hosted on a secure website at the University of Warwick.
The survey opened on September 1st 2014 and was closed on June 30th 2015. People were invited to complete a survey if they had adiagnosis of SMA in their family or were diagnosed with SMA themselves, were aged over 18 and lived in the UK. In order to reach as many people as possible who live with SMA, the survey was sent out through a variety of channels, as listed below:
1. Inspirations Newsletter
A hard copy of the survey was mailed out along with SMA Support UK's September 2014 copy of their 'Inspirations' magazine which goes out to everyone on SMA Support UK's mailing list. This mailing list includes almost all of the individuals and families with whom SMA Support UK has (or has had) contact with. In total, 1,000 surveys were posted out to households affected by SMA. A reminder to complete the survey was issued by SMA Support UK in December 2014.
2. Websites
A link to the online version of the survey was posted on SMA Support UK's website and the Imagining Futures website.
3. SMA Patient Registry
A link to the survey was emailed out through the SMA patient registry in September 2014. The SMA patient registry is made up of 538 individuals with SMA and/or their families. A reminder to complete the survey was issued in December 2014.
4. Social Networking Sites
In order to include people who might not be known to SMA Support UK or listed on the SMA patient Registry, social networking sites were also targeted to include a broader spectrum of families living with SMA. The administrators of two Facebook groups (which exist solely to support people living with SMA) were contacted to ask whether they would be happy to post a link to the survey on their group's page, to which one group agreed and one declined. The survey was also promoted through the facebook page and twitter feeds of both the Imagining Futures project and those of SMA Support UK.
5. Family Networks
Finally, participants in the survey were encouraged to distribute the survey within their own networks of family and friends affected by SMA to maximise participation.

Soundtrack review: Operation Arctic (Trond Bjerknes – 2014)
"Operation Arctic" is a Norwegian movie about the adventures of three children who are left alone in a winter storm on an island. They must survive and face all the dangers there. The score is written by a Norwegian composer, Trond Bjerknes. I haven't heard anything from him until now.
The "Opening scene" is cold and unforgiving. It's a statement on how the entire score is going to be and it makes you realize what the three children are in for. The cold is conveyed through carefully written electronic parts. The beauty of the Arctic Circle is played with haunting female vocals in the background while its mystery is brought to our ears with superb atmospheric cues like "Julia understands" and "Northern lights". These cues simply make you think about the vastness of nature and the beauty of the spirit. I am a big fan of ambient music and these cues really hit the spot. "The North Pole" is another track that resonates through the chambers of my heart and brings back a wave of feelings, memories and desires. An electronic motif like this connects with my earliest music memories from almost 30 years ago.
These atmospheric cues are merely a break from the tense atmosphere of the score. The tension is palpable; I get worried for those kids when I hear the music. But hope prevails, and when I hear a cue like "To the ice" I just want to take it and put it in my pocket to have with me every day. It's just one minute, but Trond Bjerknes makes it count. It's beautiful and heartwarming.
The "End credits", with the mermaid's voice and the gentle strings bids farewell to that winter island and leaves a wonderful echo of this score. I might just replay it come winter…

Our Story
Our Story
Our story back of square intro: We believe in our integration model to its fullest. It's how we live, breathe and work. This is us.
Your Story
Your Story
All of our energy is on you - your reasons, goals, and the "why" of what you do.
Happening Now
"The top benefit of our integration team is we are able to resolve and execute change quickly. Our delivery process is much more seamless due to our integration. To top it off, our staff are learning multiple disciplines and because of that we are all better professionals."
"Externally, I can look a client in the eye and tell them I am helping them get the best value from their dollar. We make our clients part of that team. We listen to them and we understand their why and then strive to deliver on it."
"The advantages of integration are that egos are checked at the door. Everyone can bring ideas, questions, within or outside of their discipline. People truly work together at Iconica without fear of being vulnerable and because of that we are not vulnerable, we are all working together for solutions."
"Our integration structure, it's not a single designer or project manager carrying the torch. It's an entire team who understands and commits to the project from design, estimating, construction, project assistance to the finish."
"Best compliment a client can give us is that we made it easy for them."
"Integration and communication are in our blood. We would not want it any other way because projects are more successful and easier for you."
"We ask many questions to formulate a plan for design and budget. The knowledge and strategy will align with the result you want. Learning from the beginning about your business model gives us an inside edge."
"We handle all aspects of your project – design, engineering, and construction, from start to finish while you focus on running your business."
"Throughout the course of the project, the Iconica team listened to our needs as well as those of our tenants and thoughtfully developed solutions to all of our concerns. They communicated clearly among all involved, keeping us in the loop and documenting both decisions and progress."
"This is my third building with Iconica, and this was the most complex project we have completed together. It was a complicated construction project due to the location, structural engineering, parking ramp, and tenant amenities. Iconica made it happen, I had trust in the integrated team for my building. This is a long term investment I wanted done right."
"Engineering – we'll help you understand the differences between each system, materials, and how they impact your project's performance and life cycle costs."

When I was a kid, sleeping over at my Mammaw's house on Friday nights meant an evening of the TGIF prime-time lineup (back when Jaleel White was Urkel on Family Matters, not a cool dude on Dancing with the Stars), followed by the early-morning aroma of biscuits baking in the oven.
This kind of biscuits:
My little brother and I could easily split a whole can of these in a morning, slathered with Country Crock or split open and smooshed around some pan-fried sausage patties. I liked my biscuits a pale, goldish color, but Mammaw would always blaze them in her gas oven until they were as uniformly brown as a squadron of UPS delivery guys. Once Mammaw started letting me cook on my own, though, I would pop open the can all by myself and bake them to golden brown perfection.
I'd heard stories of people making biscuits from scratch. Like, mixing and kneading and stuff. Heck, I think I 'd even read about the process in some historical fiction book or other. And of course I had experienced the euphoria of sinking my teeth into a crispy-crusted, flaky, fluffy homemade biscuit. Old people, other people's grandmas, the ladies at the S&W Diner down the street or the Biscuit Barn here in Athens–they could craft these magical breakfast breads and all the fixins to go with them. But the only way I ever knew how to make biscuits was from one of these bright blue cans.
In fact, canned biscuits were the only kind I had ever made until about, oh, 2007. I was intimidated by real biscuits (and even a little scared to make 'em out of Bisquick, sure I'd figure out some way to ruin them).
One morning, back when we were still unmarried apartment dwellers, I woke up early on a weekend and romantically decided I was going to make Micah breakfast in bed. I found a biscuit recipe somewhere and set forth on my dough handling adventure.
Imagine a biscuit mating with a boulder and making little rock babies, and you'll get a pretty good idea of how this batch turned out. They were so tough and dry that Micah not-so-subtly suggested that some gravy sure would be good. (My gravy was stellar, by the way…but it still couldn't save those poor, dry, overworked biscuits.)
A few more biscuit attempts failed just as miserably. Gravy reinforcements were called in again and again.
Then I found this recipe on Food.com, and my life was forever changed.
These biscuits didn't need gravy, sausage, Country Crock, or even jam. Somehow, they were amazing all on their own: crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, and dang near perfect.
What's in it:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter (the original recipe calls for 6, but I only had half a stick last time I made them and they were still great!)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice allowed to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes)
Step-by-step (another sitcom from the Friday night TGIF lineup!):
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Dump the flour, baking powder, and salt into your food processor and pulse a few times to mix. (Or, mix in a bowl.)
- Cut the butter into small cubes. Add it to the dry ingredients and pulse some more until it's incorporated. (Or, use a fork or your fingers to work the butter into your bowl of flour.) The mixture will start to look and act a little more like Nickelodeon's floam, with bigger grains than the powdery flour and a tendency to stick to itself if you smoosh it between your fingers.
- Add the buttermilk and process just until the dough starts to form a ball. (Or, add it to your bowl and mix until it's incorporated.)
- Dump the dough out on a floured surface. It will be really, really sticky! Don't mix in a ton of extra flour (as was my misguided instinct)–just sprinkle a little more flour on top.
- Lightly pat the dough down to about 3/4″ thick. The recipe says to press, fold, and repeat about five times, but I skip this step and my biscuits are still pretty darn good.
- Use a biscuit cutter, round cookie cutter, or drinking glass to cut out circles of dough. Don't twist your cutter when you pull up–this apparently makes your biscuits a weird shape or something.
- Move these pretty little dough circles to your baking sheet. I like to put my biscuits far apart so that each biscuit has crispy edges, but you can put them closer if you like your sides fluffy.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
Enjoy with your favorite biscuit toppings: gravy, bacon and eggs, sausage, cheese, smoked salmon, leftover barbecue, plain old butter and jam. Or serve them with a Southern-style dinner of fried chicken, collards, and black-eyed peas. Or just eat 'em plain, because they're that good.
I love my Mammaw, and memories of those weekend sleepovers with her still make me smile.
But I do hope that, when my future grandbabies spend the night with me, they'll wake up to the early morning smell of these delicious homemade biscuits.
"Did you really eat biscuits from a can?" they'll ask.
"Yep," I'll say as I pat my sticky biscuit mess onto the cutting board. I'll cut my circles, slide them into the oven, dust the flour from my hands. And those kids will marvel as I relate tales of blue cardboard tubs bursting with a soft "pop!" and bulging with pre-made discs of dough.

"I met a young virgin
Who sadly did moan"
There is a very unctuous and irritating English proverb to the effect that "Every cloud has a silver lining." What comfort can it be to one steeped to the eyebrows in clouds to ponder over their linings, and what an unpleasant picture-postcard seal it sets upon one's tragedy — turning it into a little ha'penny monstrosity with a moon in the left-hand corner like a vainglorious threepenny bit! Nevertheless, like most unctuous and irritating things, it is true. The lining woke me after my first night at the Pension Séguin and showed me over the feather bolster a room bright with sunlight as if every golden-haired baby in Heaven were pelting the earth with buttercup posies. "What a charming fancy!" I thought. "How much prettier than the proverb! It sounds like a day in the country with Katharine Tynan."
And I saw a little picture of myself and Katharine Tynan being handed glasses of milk by a red-faced woman with an immensely fat apron, while we discussed the direct truth of proverbs as opposed to the fallacy of playful babies. But in such a case imaginary I was ranged on the side of the proverbs. "There's a lot of sound sense in 'em," said that coarse being. "I admire the way they put their collective foot down upon the female attempt to embroider everything. 'The pitcher that goes too often to the well gets broken.' Also gut. Not even a loophole for a set of verses to a broken pitcher. No possible chance of the well being one of those symbolic founts to which all hearts in the form of pitchers are carried. The only proverb I disapprove of," went on this impossible creature, pulling a spring onion from the garden bed and chewing on it, "is the one about a bird in the hand. I naturally prefer birds in bushes." "But," said Katharine Tynan, tender and brooding, as she lifted a little green fly from her milk glass, "but if you were Saint Francis, the bird would not mind being in your hand. It would prefer the white nest of your fingers to any bush."
I jumped out of bed and ran over to the window and opened it wide and leaned out. Down below in the avenue a wind shook and swung the trees; the scent of leaves was on the lifting air. The houses lining the avenue were small and white. Charming, chaste-looking little houses, showing glimpses of lace and knots of ribbon, for all the world like country children in a row, about to play "Nuts and May." I began to imagine an adorable little creature named Yvette who lived in one and all of these houses . . . She spends her morning in a white lace boudoir cap, worked with daisies, sipping chocolate from a Sèvres cup with one hand, while a faithful attendant polishes the little pink nails of the other. She spends the afternoon in her tiny white and gold boudoir, curled up, a Persian kitten on her lap, while her ardent, beautiful lover leans over the back of the sofa, kissing and kissing again that thrice fascinating dimple on her left shoulder . . . When one of the balcony windows opened, and a stout servant swaggered out with her arms full of rugs and carpet strips. With a gesture expressing fury and disgust she flung them over the railing, disappeared, re-appeared again with a long-handled cane broom and fell upon the wretched rugs and carpets. Bang! Whack! Whack! Bang! Their feeble, pitiful jigging inflamed her to ever greater effort. Clouds of dust flew up round her, and when one little rug escaped and flopped down to the avenue below, like a fish, she leaned over the balcony, shaking her fist and the broom at it.
Lured by the noise, an old gentleman came to a window opposite and cast an eye of approval upon the industrious girl and yawned in the face of the lovely day. There was an air of detachment and deliberation about the way he carefully felt over the muscles of his arms and legs, pressed his throat, coughed, and shot a jet of spittle out of the window. Nobody seemed more surprised at this last feat than he. He seemed to regard it as a small triumph in its way, buttoning his immense stomach into a white piqué waistcoat with every appearance of satisfaction. Away flew my charming Yvette in a black and white check dress, an alpaca apron, and a market basket over her arm.
I dressed, ate a roll and drank some tepid coffee, feeling very sobered. I thought how true it was that the world was a delightful place if it were not for the people, and how more than true it was that people were not worth troubling about, and that wise men should set their affections upon nothing smaller than cities, heavenly or otherwise, and countrysides, which are always heavenly.
With these reflections, both pious and smug, I put on my hat, groped my way along the dark passage, and ran down the five flights of stairs into the Rue St. Léger. There was a garden on the opposite side of the street, through which one walked to the University and the more pretentious avenues fronting the Place du Théâtre. Although autumn was well advanced, not a leaf had fallen from the trees, the little shrubs and bushes were touched with pink and crimson, and against the blue sky the trees stood sheathed in gold. On stone benches nursemaids in white cloaks and stiff white caps chattered and wagged their heads like a company of cockatoos, and, up and down, in the sun, some genteel babies bowled hoops with a delicate air. What peculiar pleasure it is to wander through a strange city and amuse oneself as a child does, playing a solitary game!
"Pardon, Madame, mais voulez-vous . . . " and then the voice faltered and cried my name as though I had been given up for lost times without number; as though I had been drowned in foreign seas, and burnt in American hotel fires, and buried in a hundred lonely graves. "What on earth are you doing here?" Before me, not a day changed, not a hairpin altered, stood Violet Burton. I was flattered beyond measure at this enthusiasm, and pressed her cold, strong hand, and said "Extraordinary!"
"But what are you here for?"
" . . . Nerves."
"Oh, impossible, I really can't believe that."
"It is perfectly true," I said, my enthusiasm waning. There is nothing more annoying to a woman than to be suspected of nerves of iron.
"Well, you certainly don't look it," said she, scrutinising me, with that direct English frankness that makes one feel as though sitting in the glare of a window at breakfast-time.
"What are you here for?" I said, smiling graciously to soften the glare. At that she turned and looked across the lawns, and fidgetted with her umbrella like a provincial actress about to make a confession.
"I"— in a quiet affected voice —"I came here to forget . . . But," facing me again, and smiling energetically, "don't let's talk about that. Not yet. I can't explain. Not until I know you all over again." Very solemnly —"Not until I am sure you are to be trusted."
"Oh, don't trust me, Violet!" I cried. "I'm not to be trusted. I wouldn't if I were you." She frowned and stared.
"What a terrible thing to say. You can't be in earnest."
"Yes, I am. There's nothing I adore talking about so much as another person's secret." To my surprise, she came to my side and put her arm through mine.
"Thank you," she said, gratefully. "I think it's awfully good of you to take me into your confidence like that. Awfully. And even if it were true . . . but no, it can't be true, otherwise you wouldn't have told me. I mean it can't be psychologically true of the same nature to be frank and dishonourable at the same time. Can it? But then . . . I don't know. I suppose it is possible. Don't you find that the Russian novelists have made an upheaval of all your conclusions?" We walked, bras dessus bras dessous, down the sunny path.
"Let's sit down," said Violet. "There's a fountain quite near this bench. I often come here. You can hear it all the time." The faint noise of the water sounded like a half-forgotten tune, half sly, half laughing.
"Isn't it wonderful!" breathed Violet. "Like weeping in the night."
"Oh, Violet," said I, terrified at this turn. "Wonderful things don't weep in the night. They sleep like tops and know nothing more till again it is day."
She put her arm over the back of the bench and crossed her legs.
"Why do you persist in denying your emotions? Why are you ashamed of them?" she demanded.
"I'm not. But I keep them tucked away, and only produce them very occasionally, like special little pots of jam, when the people whom I love come to tea."
"There you are again! Emotions and jam! Now, I'm absolutely different. I live on mine. Sometimes I wish I didn't — but then again I would rather suffer through them — suffer intensely, I mean; go down into the depths with them, for the sake of that wonderful upward swing on to the pinnacles of happiness." She edged nearer to me.
"I wish I could think where I get my nature from," she went on. "Father and mother are absolutely different. I mean — they're quite normal — quite commonplace." I shook my head and raised my eyebrows. "But it is no use fighting it. It has beaten me. Absolutely — once and for all." A pause, inadequately filled by the sly, laughing water. "Now," said Violet, impressively, "you know what I meant when I said I came here to forget."
"But I assure you I don't, Violet. How can you expect me to be so subtle? I quite understand that you don't wish to tell me until you know me better. Quite!"
She opened her eyes and her mouth.
"I have told you! I mean — not straight out. Not in so many words. But then — how could I? But when I told you of my emotional nature, and that I had been in the depths and swept up to the pinnacles . . . surely, surely you realised that I was telling you, symbolically. What else can you have thought?"
No young girl ever performs such gymnastic feats by herself. Yet in my experience I had always imagined that the depths followed the pinnacles. I ventured to suggest so.
"They do," said Violet, gloomily. "You see them, if you look, before and after."
"Like the people in Shelley's Skylark," said I.
Violet looked vague, and I repented. But I did not know how to sympathise, and I had no idea of the relative sizes.
"It was in the summer," said Violet. "I had been most frightfully depressed. I don't know what it was. For one thing I felt as though I could not make up my mind to anything. I felt so terribly useless — that I had no place in the scheme of things — and worst of all, nobody who understood me . . . It may have been what I was reading at the time . . . but I don't think . . . not entirely. Still one never knows. Does one? And then I met . . . Mr. Farr, at a dance —"
"Oh, call him by his Christian name, Violet. You can't go on telling me about Mr. Farr and you . . . on the heights."
"Why on earth not? Very well — I met — Arthur. I think I must have been mad that evening. For one thing there had been a bother about going. Mother didn't want me to, because she said there wouldn't be anybody to see me home. And I was frightfully keen. I must have had a presentiment, I think. Do you believe in presentiments? . . . I don't know, we can't be certain, can we? Anyhow, I went. And he was there." She turned a deep scarlet and bit her lip. Oh, I really began to like Violet Burton — to like her very much indeed.
"Go on," I said.
"We danced together seven times and we talked the whole time. The music was very slow — we talked of everything. You know . . . about books and theatres and all that sort of thing at first, and then — about our souls."
" . . . What?"
"I said — our souls. He understood me absolutely. And after the seventh dance . . . No, I must tell you the first thing he ever said to me. He said, 'Do you believe in Pan?' Quite quietly. Just like that. And then he said, 'I knew you did.' Wasn't that extra-or-din-ary! After the seventh dance we sat out on the landing. And . . . shall I go on?"
"Yes, go on."
"He said, 'I think I must be mad. I want to kiss you,'— and — I let him."
"Do go on."
"I simply can't tell you what I felt like. Fancy! I'd never kissed out of the family before. I mean — of course — never a man. And then he said: 'I must tell you — I am engaged."'
"What else is there? Of course I simply rushed upstairs and tumbled everything over in the dressing-room and found my coat and went home. And next morning I made Mother let me come here. I thought," said Violet, "I thought I would have died of shame."
"Is that all?" I cried. "You can't mean to say that's all?"
"What else could there be? What on earth did you expect. How extraordinary you are — staring at me like that!"
And in the long pause I heard again the little fountain, half sly, half laughing — at me, I thought, not at Violet.

krups espresso maker
Krups XP5220 Review
The Krups XP5220 espresso machine is good for what it can do, which is brew decent espresso. Unfortunately, there are too many problems with the way that the machine is built to make it a good choice for long term use.
The taste of the espresso is good. Not great, but good. While you don't have a lot of options with how you want to brew the shot, you will still get a good espresso each time you use the machine.
Again, this machine is very easy to use, as there are only a few settings and techniques that really need mastering in order to make an espresso.
The build quality is the big issue here. There are more faults with this machine due to it's build quality than anything else, which is the main reason that we can't give it even a full review.
Sitting in the middle of the consumer region in terms of price, there are plenty of options at or around this price range that offer reasonable espresso and will last for far longer.
The steam wand on this machine is it's main accessory, but unfortunately it suffers from the same lack of quality construction as the rest of the machine. Given that steam wands are susceptible to high heat and pressure, you would expect that they would have a fairly high tolerance level for damage, but in this case that is simply not true.
KRUPS XP5220 Precise Tamp Pump Espresso Machine, Black and Stainless
For This Product Link Buy with 1-Click
We came into reviewing the Krups XP5220 wanting to love it. It's simple, good looking, and brews a good espresso, especially for it's price range. That being said, it's build quality is downright disastrous, and for the amount of money you're spending it just isn't worth it.
If you are spending slightly above your budget, then you should forget about it and buy something a bit cheaper. If you're trading down in the hopes that you'll get a good budget machine, it's far more worth it to buy a machine that is slightly more expensive than this and get a much higher quality machine.
