If you are dreaming about taking a vacation that involves a stay in an Orange County hotel, you are probably longing for some warm sunshine. Many Orange County hotels are located near the beach so guests don't have to go far when they want to relax outdoors near sand and ocean sounds. For those who prefer less crowded environments than those offered by beach hotels, south hotels are located in areas not as developed as the northern part of the county. The best pet friendly hotels are in areas close to the Santa Ana River because of the abundance of parks found in that region where you and your furry friend can exercise and truly enjoy your getaway.
Some of the best hotels in Orange County are found near Disneyland.

Where to take your dog around SW Connecticut
Now that summer is upon us, local beaches are reserved for people - and not pups. While dogs love the beach, there are still plenty of other places for them to enjoy the outdoors until they're allowed back on the beach.
Stamford Dog Park just recently celebrated its five-year anniversary on May 10, 2014. The 1.2-acre section of Hunt Park off Courtland Avenue is fenced off into two sections, one for big dogs and one for smaller dogs.
"Mayor David Martin spoke briefly at the anniversary event, and admitted that he wasn't an immediate supporter of creating the dog park. He was president of the Board of Representatives when it was proposed, and was skeptical about whether it would be popular with people, or even whether it was feasible."
But it seems the park has been a successful addition to the city these past five years. Stamford resident, Karen Varga, said "the dog park was a selling point for her when she moved to Stamford after accepting a job here." Click here to read more about Stamford's dog park.
Danbury resident, Brittany Batterton, takes her dog, Troy, to the Southbury Dog Park. "It's really nice; it's huge and it has a big river at the end that the dogs can swim in," she said. Batterton also takes Troy to Newtown's new dog park and Steep Rock Preserve in Washington Depot.
Kristin Woxholdt of New Fairfield prefers hikes and wooded trails to dog parks. She also takes her dog, Havoc, to Steep Rock. Woxholdt often crosses over to New York State and brings Havoc to Stone Church Hike in Dover and Cranberry Mountain in Patterson.
Check out some of the other dog-friendly outdoor spaces in the area.
Here are a few events coming up for you and your pal as well:

Undoubtedly unhappy about rival operator O2 stealing all the limelight with its Joggler "family organiser", Orange has taken the wraps off its own home-focused kitchen-friendly internet device.
Tabbee is a Wi-Fi enabled 7in touchscreen tablet that's designed to put "the whole web at your fingertips".
Orange's Tabbee: family planner
It does this by providing icon-based access to everything from local traffic news and weather updates, to photos, films, videos and music. Widgets can also be downloaded to Tabbee.
The gadget can be used like a family message board thanks to the on-screen keyboard. Data can be transferred on and off of it using SD memory card and USB Flash drives.
Although designed to sit in a charging dock most of the time, Orange said the gadget's battery will provide up to three hours of "intensive" untethered use.
Orange's Tabbee will be available in France during Q2, priced at €299 (£272/$402). A UK launch date or price hasn't been given. ®

Eminem rarely does interviews.
When he was promoting his film "8 Mile" a few years back, he did one interview – and it was with Access Hollywood.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Guess Who's Back? Hot Shots Of Eminem!
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
In 2010, he's promoting his new album (all about recovery) and once again, Access Hollywood got the exclusive.
"The things I was putting in my body, my tolerance got so high," Eminem told Access' own Billy Bush in a revealing new sit down. "I got to the point where I couldn't even count how many pills I was taking."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Crazy! Sexy! Cool! The Planet's Hottest Pop Stars Take The Stage
If you want to understand the depth of Eminem's past drug addiction, you need to watch the music video for his single, "Not Afraid."
"The video is powerful," Billy said. "You're standing on the edge of a building, the message people take right away, is he got close to the edge. Did you?"
"Yeah, I mean there's a lot of… Well, as far as getting close to the edge, I don't know if I would go as far as to say that, but I certainly hit my own, you know, personal bottom," Eminem told Billy.

Never one to shy away from rapping about his personal highs and lows, Eminem shares his journey on his new album, "Recovery," detailing everything from a near fatal overdose to a sting in rehab.
"I had overdosed in 2007, like right around Christmas in 2007… Pretty much almost died," Eminem said. "You know, I pulled through and went home and relapsed less than a month later and I literally shot back up to the amount of pills I was taking, shot right back up to where I overdosed… Kind of I scared myself, like, 'Yo! I need to, I need help. Like I can't beat this on my own."
"How did you grab the bull by the horns in your own life and deal with it?" Billy asked.
"Well, I just got tired of the way I was living," he replied. "I guess I really had to reach down, reach deep down and look at myself and realize this is my fault, like, take responsibility for the way I'm living and stop blaming other people."
Billy also asked if it was hard, as a man, to say "I need help?"
"Yeah, I think it was," Eminem explained. "I think that was my biggest problem… I mean, I'm sure that anybody with addiction — the biggest problem is admitting that you have a problem. Nobody wants to admit that they're not in control of something."

Planning a baby
Posted December 5, 2008on:
- In: Antenatal Screening | Birth | Childbirth | Health | Midwife | midwifery | Preconception | Preconceptual | pregnancy | Pregnancy Blood Tests | Uncategorized
- 1 Comment
When you are planning a pregnancy it is important that you are in optimum health, firstly to help your body to conceive, and secondly to maintain the pregnancy and grow a healthy baby. It is true that the baby will take what it needs from your body, but your body needs to be healthy and strong to nurture the growing baby, to give birth and to enable you to feed and care for the baby.
When planning a pregnancy it is advisable to first see your midwife or GP to discuss your plans, this would be particularly important if you have a preexisting medical condition. It is worth having a rubella (German measles) blood test even if you have had German measles or had the immunisation in the past; for certain population groups further blood testing may also be suggested to exclude sickle cell, thalassaemia or Tay-Sachs disease. Your midwife or GP will check your physical wellbeing, perhaps offer you a cervical smear, check your blood pressure and ensure that there are no hazards to pregnancy in the workplace of both you and your partner.
The current Department of Health (DoH) recommendation is that it is
advisable to take a folic acid supplement in the months prior to getting
pregnant and for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy – if you don't want to take a supplement it would be worth ensuring that you get additional folic acid in your diet from green vegetables, brown rice and walnuts. Folic acid supplementation has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (spina bifida).
A recent DoH recommendation is that pregnant women take Vitamin D
supplements, this may be especially important if your religion requires you to cover a significant amount of your body (Vitamin D is absorbed into our skin by exposure to sunlight).
Be aware of toxoplasmosis – a bacterial infection that can be picked up in cat and dog faeces – not good news for a growing baby. Either get someone else to clear up after animals, or just be extra careful of hygiene – this also applies to gardening as the bacteria lives in soil. So if you garden, consider wearing gloves and again wash hands, nails very carefully.
Food advice in early pregnancy is to be extra careful with hygiene; food
poisoning is bad news for your baby. Don't eat any unpasteurised foods – most food is pasteurised, but some speciality milks, cheeses/diary are not. Avoid moulded or veined cheeses and pate/salami. Eggs should be well cooked not runny. Fruit and vegetables should be washed prior to eating. It is suggested that you don't eat swordfish or marlin and limit the consumption of "oily" fish to twice weekly. Sea food should be cooked not raw. Liver is not recommended for pregnant women.
Whilst pregnant the current recommendation is not to drink alcohol at all, and it is better to limit the amount of caffeine you take (tea, coffee, cola and fizzy drinks), and obviously it would be wise to stop smoking and avoid any "recreational" drugs prior to getting pregnant.
We are still evaluating the evidence regarding eating peanuts in pregnancy – the best current advice is that if you have nut allergies in the family it may well be best to avoid eating nuts in pregnancy; it there are no nut allergies then use your own instinct and judgement as to whether you feel safe to eat nuts (bearing in mind they are a good source of protein, particularly if you are vegetarian or vegan).
Having made a huge list of foods to avoid, you are encouraged to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables (aim for at least five a day), plenty of protein (at every meal if you possibly can) and plenty of iron rich foods (red meat, pulses, green vegetables).
It can sometimes take many months to conceive and this can be a stressful time. I would encourage you to consider seeing complementary therapists as they may well be able to help you. It is worth considering acupuncturists, reflexologists, nutritionalists, homoeopaths or hypnotherapists – talk to different therapists and go to the one that you feel most comfortable with. The following websites also have lots of useful information:

Bret Easton Ellis's novel "American Psycho" is about to undergo an unconventional adaptation -- The iconic murder tale is being made into a musical.
"American Psycho," part thriller and part satire, features Patrick Bateman, an attractive Manhattan banker who becomes a killer. The popular novel was written by Ellis in the early '90s and became a movie in 2000.
Playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, currently writing for HBO series ''Big Love,'' will work on the play. "Spring Awakening'' composer Duncan Sheik will do the score. The date and location of the show have not been released yet.
U.S. & World
According to AP, Sheik sees American Psycho as a, "timesless tale of alientation."
''And, really, what could be more subversive fun than murderous bankers breaking into song?'' Sheik said.
The book's graphic sex and extreme violence caused controversy when it was released. When the controversial book was turned into a film, featuring Christian Bale, producers avoided the controversial scenes of sex and violence. There is no word yet on whether the musical will do the same.

By John McDonald
It was the dawn of a day that would change his life forever, but as the sun began coming over the stand of pine that lined his lower pasture, he was not yet aware of it.
It would be the last time the sun was seen that day; soon the skies would cloud over, and it would begin to snow, then rain, then go back to snow, then change to freezing rain and back to snow.
Perly Leighton awoke like always that March morning and began his daily ritual — put out the cat; put on the coffee; load up the parlor stove; fire up the Queen Atlantic in the kitchen; and read his thermometer by kitchen window, the barometer by the bathroom and the precipitation gauge on the deck, entering all their numbers in his well-worn journal.
Perly had been keeping track of those numbers for over 40 years and still couldn't think of one good reason for it. He knew from history that both Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin had kept such records throughout their lives and that was fine, but at this point in his life, Perly didn't think that — for him — it was a good enough reason any more.
As the weather went from one form of precipitation to another, Perly looked out his kitchen window, across his barren field and knew he was in for one of those March days that push us Mainers right to the edge and almost over it — those days that make us think seriously of living somewhere farther south, even nasty New Jersey.
After a breakfast of oatmeal and reheated beans, Perly made himself some tea and sat in the rocker by the kitchen stove to drink it and think of something useful he could be doing that day. He tried to put the present weather conditions out of his mind and thought instead about the garden he'd been planning to put in this spring. Every year around this time he planned his garden. On this morning he hoped this would finally be the year that the garden he planned in February would, in some way, resemble the garden he planted come Memorial Day weekend.
He knew he wanted his peas planted first, but he couldn't decide if he should plant them early and take his chances with an early May frost or wait till the end of May like the pea-planting traditionalists.
He'd always been among the Memorial Day weekend pea-planters in town and over the years had even been known to ridicule the early-birds of pea-planting society down at the store. On this particular March morning, Perly was feeling more contrary than normal and felt like doing something completely different. Still, it wouldn't be the timing of his pea-planting that he'd scratch that itch with.
Around this time, out of the blue, Perly's phone rang. The sudden sound of its sharp ring nearly gave him a coronary since Perly wasn't used to getting calls at such an early hour. In fact, he wasn't used to getting calls at any hour. His friends knew Perly preferred talking in person and only kept the phone around for emergencies.
On the other end of the line was Wallace Watts, who wanted to talk to Perly about town business. After almost an hour of cajoling, Wallace managed to convince Perly to do something that would — for good and ill — change his life forever.
Perly had agreed to run for second selectman at the town meeting in March.

Last night I went to a movie with my mom and saw the trailer for The Conspirator. It looked pretty good. (Of course, the trailers always look pretty good, which is why I ended up shelling out money to see that Clash of the Titans remake on opening night.)
When the movie screened at the AHA meeting, the topic of slavery and popular memory of the Civil War came up, according to a piece posted earlier this month at HNN:
As one AHA member observed, is it really possible to make a film about the Civil War era and not mention the word slavery? The Southern Surratt family had been slaveholders before falling into more difficult economic times, but this fact is not alluded to in the film. Instead, Aiken observes that he is as dedicated to his cause (the Union) as Surratt is to her cause. However, the cause to which Surratt has pledged herself and her family is never identified. Thus, it is possible for viewers to provide alternative answers to this question which deny the centrality of the slavery issue to the origins of the Civil War. Those who attended a secessionist ball in Charleston, South Carolina may assert that they are commemorating a commitment to states' rights rather than celebrating an effort to preserve the institution of slavery. And The Conspirator fails to offer any cinematic challenge to such an assumption. One may view The Conspirator free from the disturbing questions of race and slavery. Perhaps this will make the film appealing to a larger audience, but it will do little to foster popular understanding of the Civil War as we observe the 150th anniversary of that conflict.
That's not to say that the film is inaccurate. In fact, the writer goes on to admit that The Conspirator "includes more accurate historical detail than most Hollywood productions." Yet some historians are still troubled, because it doesn't address deeper issues revolving around the causes of the war.
So can you make a Civil War movie without dealing with slavery? I'm going to suggest that you can.
Please don't misunderstand me here. I'll be the first to state that the debate over slavery was, in every meaningful sense, what made the Civil War happen. If there had been no controversy over slavery's extension, there would have been no war. It's as simple as that. Anyone who asserts that slavery had nothing to do with the war simply doesn't know what he's talking about. (To employ my own movie-related metaphor, such a person is wearing hockey pads.)
Still, I don't think it's necessary to address the war's larger causes in every single attempt to tell stories about the Civil War era. This isn't a movie about the Civil War's causes, nor even a movie about the Surratt family's economic background. It's a movie about the trial of Mary Surratt. We don't expect historians who write tactical studies of Civil War battles to address slavery's role in the war. Nor do we expect historians who write books about the very historical themes the film tackles—namely the relationship between military arrests of civilians and constitutional issues—to do so. Why should we expect filmmakers to do it?
Apparently we expect it because films are a teachable moment. The movie, we are told, will "do little to foster popular understanding of the Civil War." But is it really the filmmakers' job to foster popular understanding of the war's causes and of the debate over emancipation? I don't think so. They've apparently handled the matter of the Surratt trial in a satisfactory manner, and that's all they can reasonably be expected to do.
Furthermore, it's worth asking whether most moviegoers are so ignorant of the importance of slavery in the coming of the Civil War that they need this film to tell them. I submit that most people who don't affirm the critical role of slavery to the war do so not out of simple ignorance, but through a conscious and willing act of denial necessitated by needs that have little to do with a desire to understand history. I doubt that, if the film did put slavery front and center, thousands of audience members would leave the theater muttering to themselves, "Slavery caused the war? Why, I had no idea." No, most Americans who deny that the peculiar institution brought on the conflict do so despite reams of scholarship and primary material telling them otherwise, so it's unlikely that a movie is going to change their minds.
If historians are concerned about popular understanding of the relationship between the war and slavery—as they certainly should be—then let's engage this topic in accessible books, exhibits, and documentaries. This is a public history issue, not a Hollywood issue.

One way or another, you've developed a ritual at your place of fitness, and I bet dollars to doughnuts that it is hardly ever interrupted –– until now.
Of all the machines, exercises, "spots" and gadgets offered in the gym, I know you have your favorite. It may be "your" treadmill (i.e. "I can't believe that slowpoke lady is only walking on my treadmill!"), or it may be your little corner where you stretch, and where you've recently discovered a relocated trash can.
One way or another, you've developed a ritual at your place of fitness, and I bet dollars to doughnuts that it is hardly ever interrupted –– until now.
When thinking of equipment I would like to purchase for my "dream club," I always think of exercises where warriors are wearing a mask of anguish. Let's turn your world on its ear and delve into the five lifts that you need to insert into your routine immediately.
The thrusterwill add speed, explosiveness and endurance to your every move –– and fire to your lungs (not kidding!). Stand with weight at shoulder height, drop into a deep squat and then thrust upwards while pressing the weight overhead, locking your arms and pushing your head through. Finish with the weight directly overhead.
The deadliftand pull-uphave got your back (that's two moves for those counting). No move builds strength and explosiveness throughout your whole body like the deadlift (bent knee style). And who hasn't seen a gymnast spinning around the uneven bars and thought, "What I wouldn't give for a body like that!" Well, do some pull-ups and you'll be on your way.
Don't double dip, just dip. Again, borrowed from the world of gymnastics; parallel bar dips have been around for ages and are the bedrock of a solid upper-body workout. If you can't do one with your bodyweight yet, peck away with an assisted version until you can –– don't give up!
Where's the fifth move? I'm letting you keep your favorite; as long as you give the previous four a go, I'll be happy. Try something new and expand your ritual.
Have a great week, gang!

"I need to see Jareth. Now!"
Marcia, Jareth's secretary (who used to work for Magnus and is decidedly the most annoying vampire in the known universe) looks up at me over horn-rimmed glasses. (I assume she wears them in an effort to give off that whole "sexy secretary" vibe, seeing as even the most nearsighted human gets twenty-twenty vision once they become a vampire.) She frowns.
"The Master has asked not to be disturbed," she announces snottily before turning back to her romance novel.
"Oh, he means by other people, I'm sure," I say quickly. "Not me. He'll be happy to see me, I promise."
Marcia makes a big show of looking up from her book again, as if I'm some pesky fly she can't manage to shoo away. "Ecstatic as any mortal or vampire might be at the announcement of your illustrious arrival, the fact remains, I was told not to disturb him. And, I can assure you, there were no 'except that weirdo Goth chick I'm hooking up with' caveats to that order."
I roll my eyes. She is so ridiculous. Is this what poor Sunny had to go through every time she wanted to meet up with Magnus? Well, sadly for Marcia here, I'm not my sweet little sister, respectful of authority and proper procedure and all the rest.
I start toward the office exit. Then I make a big show of looking down the hallway to my right. "Oh wow. I didn't realize Race Jameson was coming in today," I remark casually.
"Wait, what? Race Jameson?" Marcia stammers, her face turning beet red at the name of everyone's favorite vampire rock star. She scrambles from her seat to take a look for herself.
It's all the opportunity I need—dashing past her desk and pushing open the door that leads to Jareth's office. Behind me, I can hear the secretary screaming bloody murder as she realizes she fell for the oldest trick in the book. Seriously, they should probably start administering IQ tests before turning people into vampires.
"I'm sorry, Master!" she cries, bursting into the room behind me. "I tried to tell her—"
But Jareth waves her off. "It's okay. Thank you Marcia."
"You want me to drag her out on her ass?" the secretary asks hopefully.
Jareth chuckles. "I don't think that will be necessary. But I appreciate the offer."
Marcia scowls. I shoot her a big smile. "Can you get me a glass of O-negative?" I ask sweetly. "Extra sugar? I'm sooo parched!"
The secretary glowers at me and slams the door behind her. I plop down into the chair across from Jareth's desk. He gives me an amused look. "She'll probably spit in it, you know," he says.
I shrug. "That's okay. I'm not thirsty anyway. Just wanted to make sure she felt useful and valued in her current position."
"As always, Rayne, your thoughtfulness to the well-being of others simply astounds." Jareth replies drolly. Then he turns serious. "So to what do I owe this visit? Not that I don't love seeing you, but I am a bit busy this afternoon." He sighs, looking down at the mounds of paperwork on his desk. "Sadly, being Coven Master isn't as glamorous a job as it might seem."
"I bet," I say sympathetically. "And this isn't going to make your day any better, I'm afraid." I toss the envelope with my assignment down onto his desk. He picks it up and pulls out the paperwork, his pale face growing pinker and pinker as he reads.
"Those bastards," he growls, crumpling the paper in his hands and tossing it across the room. "I should have suspected something like this." He groans loudly, then looks at me. "You turned down the assignment, of course."
"Well, not exactly . . ." I hedge. "It's complicated."
He raises an eyebrow. "Turning down an assignment to slay your own sister is complicated?"
"Well, kind of. I mean, look, I know you're not a fan of Slayer Inc., but . . ."
"Not a fan?" Jareth repeats incredulously. I wince, realizing my bad choice of words. "Not a fan? Rayne, they murdered my whole family in cold blood." He scowls. "Or did you happen to conveniently forget that little trivial fact about your precious employer?"
I sigh. Here we go again. God, at this point I can't even count on both hands the number of times we've had this argument. In his mind Slayer Inc. is evil incarnate, out to destroy the world. And maybe they were, once upon a time. Hundreds of years ago under completely different management. (Unlike vampire political organizations, which have no term limits and whose rulers can live a thousand years or more, mortal Slayer Inc. officials tend to take the cushy retirement plan when they hit sixty-five.)
But how can you argue semantics with someone whose own sister and brother were targeted for annihilation for no reason at all, except for the unfortunate fact that they'd been turned into vampires as children. (The vampire who turned them had only wanted to save them from the deadly plague that had consumed much of Europe. But to Slayer Inc., child vampirism was—and is—an abomination.)
"I'll never forget that day," Jareth says, staring down at his desk, looking miserable. "The day we were asked to vote on whether or not to let Slayer Inc. in as an official police force for the vampire community . . ."
He trails off, but it doesn't matter. He's told me the story a thousand times before. How the vote was split right down the middle. How he was forced to become the tie-breaker. How his vote effectively established Slayer Inc. into the role they still hold today.
Of course he could have never known the consequences of his actions . . .
"It didn't take them long to come after us," he says in a hoarse whisper and I wonder suddenly if he even remembers I'm still in the room. "We held out for days in our family's castle—trying to outlast the siege. But the blood ran out and our hunger overtook our good senses. We tried to fight our way out. But they were too strong."
I walk around his desk, trying to put a hand on his arm—in an effort to comfort him. But he shakes it off, rising to his feet, his body seething with anger.
"I will never forget the look on my sister's face as that damned slayer struck her in the heart with his stake." His voice cracks. "She looked straight into my eyes, condemning me for what I had done—blaming me for her death."
He stands silent for a moment, fists clenched at his sides, in such agony I can't bear it any longer. I grab him, holding him tight against me, fighting his attempts to shake me away. Finally, his body slumps, as if in defeat, crumbling against my own, soaking in the strength I so willingly try to give him.
"I'm sorry," I whisper. "I can't imagine what that would have been like."
Half of me still wants to argue my case. That the Slayer Inc. of today has introduced so much good into the world—keeping the peace and saving so many lives. With their donor program, for example—which allows humans to be compensated for donating blood to vampires, rather than murdered as twisted cattle to satisfy the beastly hunger we vampires share.
But I know in my heart Jareth cares little for the thousands of mortal lives saved by my employer. He thinks only of those lives they have ended. His sister's and brother's—for a crime they didn't commit. His parents—for trying their best to protect them. I guess I can't really blame him for feeling as he does.
He looks down at me with bloodstained eyes. "And now they want to take away your sister," he says slowly. "Just as they once took mine." His face twists with rage and he shakes free of my grasp. "I won't let them do that. I won't be responsible for another innocent death!"
I squeeze my eyes shut in frustration, then open them again, entreating him. "But Jareth, you don't understand," I try. "Things are different now. Slayer Inc. doesn't want to slay Sunny. Or Magnus, for that matter. They know Pyrus is a tyrant and they want to bring him down as much as we do. They're on our side this time."
"I will never, ever be on the side of Slayer Inc."
I give up, walking around and slumping back into my chair. How can I argue with a vampire who holds a 700-year-old grudge?
"Look, I'm not asking you to sit around the campfire with them, singing 'Kumbaya,'" I remind him. "Just let me work with them for now. Let Pyrus think I'm on the job. And in the meantime, Slayer Inc. can work to build their own case against him and his reign of terror. I mean imagine if they were successful! We could get rid of him forever. Magnus and Sunny could come back home. The Consortium could return to a democracy. These are all things I know you want, Jareth. And Slayer Inc. is the only one right now that can give them to us."
My boyfriend rakes a hand through his blond hair. Considering vampires never age, he's suddenly looking kind of old. I guess stress can do that to you.
"I see what you're saying," he says at last. "I can't make a move against Pyrus while still running the Blood Coven. If he suspected disloyalty, he'd have me removed from power—leaving the vampires in my protection in danger."
"Exactly," I say, rising from my chair, excited he's finally seeing the point. "So why not let Slayer Inc. do the dirty work instead? After all, that's what you hired them for in the beginning, right?" I hold my breath, waiting for his reply.
"Right," he says at last. "But I still don't like the idea of you involved in any of it. It's dangerous. And don't think for a moment Slayer Inc. won't throw you under a bus if it allows them to keep their cover. Are you prepared to deal with that possibility?"
I nod my head resolutely. "Absolutely. If it means saving my sister and Magnus—not to mention the Blood Coven."
He stares at me for a moment and I stare back, my shoulders squared and my chin held high. Sure, I'm scared as hell, but he doesn't need to know that right now. He needs to see my dedication to the mission ahead. He needs to know I'll do whatever it takes to save my family. Just as he once tried to save his own.
And then he's on me in a movement so quick I can scarcely track it, pulling me into a hot embrace, burying his face into the top of my head. I find myself melting into his arms, rejoicing in the feel of his strong body, pressed against mine. God, I love this vampire so much, it hurts sometimes.
"You're so brave," he whispers in my ear, stroking my hair with trembling hands. "So fierce. I wish I were more like you. Maybe then I would have been able to save my family, too."
I open my mouth to protest, but he places a finger to my lips. "I don't want to talk any more about the past," he whispers. "I just want you to listen to me now."
I nod slowly, meeting his beautiful eyes with my own.
"I love you," he says. "And I trust you more than anyone in the world. If you say Slayer Inc. can help us—well, then I will respect your judgment and not interfere."
"Thank you," I whisper, knowing how hard it must be for him to make such a promise.
"And I will do anything I can—within my limited capacity—to help you keep your sister safe." He pauses, then adds, "No matter what it takes."
A chill trips down my spine at his words and I throw my arms around him, not wanting to let go. "I love you, Jareth," I murmur as I cover his face with kisses before finding his lips with my own. "And I won't let you down."

Our luxury range just got even more luxurious! Mink is warm brown which enhances all the cream, beige and tan designer textiles. It's a fact that Australian Merino is the finest and softest in the world and this is obvious when next to much courser, wiry European skins. The fibre thickness of Merino is less than half the thickness of a human hair. British and European wool fibres are much coarser, giving that spongy, coarse look and feel.
Henna is a gorgeous brown, looks amazing in any nursery, giving it the designer touch!
In addition we have shaped this very generously. The correct purchase decision now is made all that more important, knowing that your baby will benefit for years as they grow into it.
The natural beauty and softness of Gabe and Grace Lambskin products are factors that set them apart from other brands. Our Grade A Merino lambskins are dense, yet fine and provide a luxurious, comforting and relaxing surrounding whilst on the move, or at home.
Research shows that babies tend to be calmer and more comfortable on lambskins while they spend much time lying down and thriving in their early months.

So I thought I might redeem myself at their stop in Atlanta for their book signing last week (for those who haven't picked it up yet, it's called – wait for it – Young House Love: 243 Ways to Paint, Craft, Update & Show Your Home Some Love). The signing took place in the Midtown area just a few lights away from Ikea (where I was the night before) at Flor. I first learned about Flor in 2011 when I was a part of the Solar Decathlon home competition in Washington, D.C. Flor makes carpet tiles that allow for custom rugs, runners and whatnot. Their concept is innovative, though I wonder how they really hold up over time.
John & Sherry have a habit of bringing the weather with them for each stop in their tour. For Atlanta, that meant cold rain and wind. It. Was. Freezing. And I know – we Atlantans can't tough it out in cold temps. But once you get used to warm weather, a dip in the thermometer makes you an unprepared wuss. It just happens, even for girls like me who were born in Wisconsin.
The line snaked around the building and into another empty office building next door. After a full day of work and fighting through traffic, I was lucky to get there just before the signing began. I briefly wondered how I was going to kill an hour standing around with nothing else to do. Luckily I'd thought ahead and asked for a line buddy the day before on my blog post, so I was very grateful to have one of my readers, Ellen, take turns with me for bathroom and yogurt breaks (there was a fro-yo shop next door and I hadn't eaten all day – so thank you, SO much Ellen, for helping me out!). We spent most of the time cracking jokes about accounting (she's a professor at a local university) and home projects gone wonky. Because that's what the cool kids who stand in line are doing these days. Eventually, we got up to the front of the building and the Flor staff had treats to give us a sugar boost. Yum. And they were good sports about me taking pictures.
Once inside, they really hit it out of the park for me. They had booze. Hey – I didn't know that this was a party! I was just excited to be warming up my icicle toes, but I appreciated that they thought things out (cold people can be very forgiving if you give them free beer and wine). I waited for Ellen to walk up to the signing table to get her pictures before stepping up to get my book signed, said hello…
…and was a total dork again. I was exhausted (seems to be a permanent state of being lately) and completely drew a blank. Sherry, John and I talked about, of all things… my wrinkled shirt. Sherry was quick to point out though that it was "grellow" (the color they painted their kitchen). I was still focused on the fact that I was late for work that morning and hadn't ironed it. My shirt still had the creases from being folded and shipped to my house (straight out of the package, #represent). There was no blogger-to-blogger talk – for some reason, it just felt really odd to self-promote in that situation (which is what I felt it would sound like if I just started talking about my blog), and I was there as a fan. So I just said hello, made a few quirky comments about my wrinkled shirt, and one of the Flor staff snapped a picture with my phone. The downside was that the picture came out really fuzzy and my hair was out-of-control-windblown, but I suppose it pretty much captured the awkwardness of the moment. And what's with my tiny head?
I got back in line… mostly because the next part of the line was heading toward the bar. But it was also because Katie Bower also made an appearance in another part of the room. And not only that, but Jeremy and brand new Weston were there too. Surprise!
Okay, so considering I already Instagrammed and Facebooked about it, it's not that much of a surprise for many of you. But I didn't expect any of them to be there, and I was really excited. After all, I had hosted a Pinterest Challenge with Katie and Sherry, and now I was going to be a total dork in front of both of them in person. Score!
Before the end of the line (before my next awkward encounter), there was a fun little photo booth. I'd had enough wine to be making funny faces at this point (for those keeping count, that's approximately less than half a glass, so it really could have simply been that my brain was warm again and I was relaxed). So then Ellen and I made funny faces. Her photos came out way better than mine. I just look confused, crazy, and a little hungry. That's the photo hell trifecta, right there. Oh, and in one of them, I did a duckface. Really. What. the. frass.
Do you read Katie's blog? She's adorable and lives here in Georgia too. Katie had her own feature in the YHL book (which is the section she signed for everyone). Jeremy's her husband and they've just had their second little boy, Weston. This kid is completely adorable. He wasn't very interested in taking a photo with me though.
I finally fessed up to being a blogger when chatting with Katie. That's the weird part about it I guess. You know other blogs, they might know you, and it's all just a little weird until until you start piecing it together. Oh, right! I know your face! Plus, let's face it – we're talking big fish here. I'm in the world of being stunned to have even been nominated for a Homie – these folks made it through all the rounds, won, and oh yeah – are getting book deals (very much well-deserved, too!). My blog is still pretty small by comparison, and I'm stunned any time I hear someone's even heard of the UDH. I liked how Katie put it though – that only ten people read her blog. That humble liar. For anyone wondering, Katie is just as sweet and funny as you read online. And she has no idea where to put her hands in pictures (she did a cheerleader pose in one of them for another fan).
After all was said and done, I headed out and said goodbye to my new line buddies. It's always nice to meet local DIY enthusiasts, and I met another Katie too (she's got a new blog called deranchification and I've already learned about a new tool as of this morning – cracked me up when she explained that all the blog names are taken). Just before I walked away from the remaining line, someone actually recognized my face – which was pretty surprising to me. It was another reader, Rhiannon, who frequently follows via my Facebook page. She was so very sweet! Of course, back home, it was back to the old routine (at 10pm, this is just how things are at my house).
Which brings me to my next Dueling DIY update tomorrow, so be sure to see how things are going. Kit's been working on her donkey barn this week, so I don't know how far she's gotten with her stairs. Can't wait to see everyone's updates!

Captivating from beginning to end, A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING was originally presented cabaret-style at Rainbow & Stars at the top of Rockefeller Center. The Broadway production, directed by Walter Bobbie, opened in 1993 and was nominated for two 1994 Tony Awards®, for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revue. Some pedigree, huh?
The chic, exhilarating, soul-satisfying Chicago production, now at the freshly renovated Mercury Theater in Wrigleyville showcases captivating songs from Oklahoma!, South Pacific, Flower Drum Song—the list of 30 songs goes on––and so does the shear joy.
Directed and choreographed by multiple Jeff winner Kevin Bellie, who previously served as Artistic Director at Circle Theatre, the songs take us on an exploration of life and love and all the complexities in between.
The incomparable singer/dancers of the show—Robert Hunt, Stephen Shellhardt, Marya Grandy, Leah Morrow, and Heather Townsend––could not have been better. They didn't miss a step or a beat or a cue. They were so good, they even played pranks on the musicians who so ably accompanied them.
Under the direction of Eugene Dizon (6-time Jeff Award Winner), the vocal magic was complemented by a fantastic live 6 piece band onstage that included a harp and a cello: Piano/Concuctor, Elizabeth Doran; Cello: Laurel Humiston, Harp: Jennifer Ruggieri; Percussion: Lindsay Williams; Woodwinds: Anthony Parsons; Bass: Sam Flip. Calling this extraoridinary group of musicians "a band" is an understatement. The quality of the sound they created with such an eclectic assortment of instruments was exceptional.
The Production Team also includes Jason Epperson, Scenic and Lighting Designer; Kathryn-Sarah Phillips, Costume Designer; and Mike Ross, Sound Designer.
Individually, every member of the ensemble was outstanding. Robert Hunt's "This Nearly Was Mine" from South Pacific was heart-stopping. Not only was his powerful voice and demeanor solemn and heartfelt, the show was paced to allow for this mood change. Marya Grandy's "I Can't Say No" from Oklahoma was delightfully ditsy. Hearing Stephen Shellhardt sing "Maria" from Sound of Music gave the words an entirely new meaning just as hearing "The Gentleman is a Dope" from Allegro as interpreted by Leah Morrow gave the words a different spin. The statuesque Heather Townsend's "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy" from South Pacific is triumphant in its clarity and exuberance.
As an ensemble, these extraordinarily talented five soared. The combined power of all their voices and interpretive skills (not to mention the tear away skirt) gave their high voltage performance exuberance.
Framed in the lovingly restored The Mercury Theater, an intimate jewel-box with a gorgeous new front of house layout, state of the art lighting, and sound systems, every conceivable detail was par excellence.
The Mercury Theater is an intimate jewel-box in the heart of the Southport corridor, a sophisticated neighborhood of restaurants and boutiques just steps from Wrigley Field. It adjoins two restaurants; Cullen's Bar and Grill and Deleece, which offer dining and libations before and after the show.
Under the leadership of Executive Director L. Walter Stearns, the Mercury is offering a season of musicals for the first time, making it the largest producer of musical theater in Chicago. A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING is the first of four shows in the Mercury's 2013 season, and will be followed up by the musicals BARNUM and THE COLOR PURPLE, along with the return engagement of Chicago's holiday musical THE CHRISTMAS SCHOONER.
Notable past productions at the historic theater include A TWIST OF WATER (which recently closed off-Broadway), THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS (now it its 3rd year of a national tour), THE IRISH AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY and OVER THE TAVERN. The smash hit original production of FREUD'S LAST SESSION ended a nine-month run in November 2012, and is now headed toLos Angeles.
Performances are from January 16 to March 10, 2013.
Thursdays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m.,
Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Tickets range from $25 to $59.
Season Flex Passes are $80 for 3 shows and $100 for all 4.
Groups of 10 or more receive discounts of up to 50%.
For tickets and information contact the Mercury Theater at 773-325-1700 or www.mercurytheaterchicago.com.

Father Frank Pavone Urges North Dakota to Appeal Ruling on Heartbeat Law
Date: April 17, 2014
Contact: Leslie Palma
STATEN ISLAND, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today issued a statement encouraging North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem to appeal the ruling of a district court judge who held that the state's "heartbeat" abortion law violated Roe v. Wade.
"North Dakota led the states in courage and compassion when its lawmakers passed and Governor Jack Dalrymple signed legislation to protect babies with a detectable heartbeat," said Fr. Pavone. "I was proud to be there in Bismarck, with pro-life activists from around the state, to thank the Governor and the legislator for those actions. That leadership is needed now to continue the defense of the heartbeat law and innocent lives. I earnestly hope that Attorney General Stenehjem will take his defense of the babies to the next step, the U.S. Court of Appeals."
North Dakota's "heartbeat" law, which was enjoined last year by federal Judge Daniel Hovland before it went into effect, would bar almost any abortion of a baby that's found to have a detectable heartbeat.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

|My half of the round robin I am doing with my sister - very casual, no time limits!
- Do you want a row-by-row (where everyone makes the same size row just different themes) or a medallion quilt (where everyone adds a border to a central block - the borders get bigger and bigger quite quickly)?
- Do you want a co-ordinated fabric look? The owner would have to include fabric that every contributor could use.
- How big do you want the final size? What will you theme/s be?
- How much time do you give to complete each round? Medallion styles may need extra time for the large size borders towards the end.
- What are you going to do if contributors pull out halfway through?
- Local, national, international? Postage can get expensive and time consuming.
- Who will be participating? How are you going to get them to join? Beginners will need more explicate instructions, ie. stipulating 100% cotton fabrics, than experienced quilters.
|My central block for an international round robin I participated in.
I decided to organise a row-by-row round robin for my local quilting guild. This is what I put in the newsletter:
Charlotte is happy to co-ordinate a monthly row-by-row round robin if there are enough keen participants.
How it would work:
1. You provide at least a metre and a half of a feature fabric (or a metre and a half total of several fabrics) that you would like used throughout the quilt (more fabric would allow people to use more of it in each row).
2. The first month, you make the first row for yourself, using your feature fabric and other fabrics from your stash, to set the style of your quilt.
3. The completed row is put into a bag with your information sheet and your leftover feature fabric and passed to the coordinator who then passes it to the next person in the group.
4. The next month, you are working on someone else's quilt, making a row for them, the theme of that month would be given by the coordinator. You use some of their feature fabric that they have included in their bag and any other fabric you need comes from your stash.
5. Eventually your bag comes back to you with the completed rows and any leftover feature fabric. You then get to choose how to put the rows together. Once all the quilt tops are together there will a grand show and tell with a viewer's choice prize!
The rows will be completed monthly and the agreed size of each row is 8" x 40" finished (8 ½" x 40 ½" with seam allowances). This can be made up of one panel or five 8" blocks, or a combination of blocks and panel if you wish.
Themes will be things like: stars, birds, traditional, curves, flowers, water, boxes. All of which are open to your own interpretation. For example, stars could be five traditionally pieced Ohio Stars, or it could be a panel of appliquéd stars, or a mix of two star blocks and three appliquéd blocks, or using a star fabric!!
If you can't always make meetings – no problem! You can pass your completed row/s to a friend to pass on, or organise to meet the coordinator someplace else. You could even post it if worst came to worst!
When you get the rows back, you can add sashings, borders and even more rows – horizontal or vertical - if you want to make your quilt bigger.

|This is what I got back from the international round robin. My block is sideways - I thought it was obvious, but I guess I should have labelled the top! These are things you learn once you've participated in a few round robins.
