An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Bavaria. The name Zettle is an occupational hereditary surname, a type of surname that was taken from a word describing or common to the profession of the original bearer. It is a name for a person who held a position of high prestige and may have been a courier or a diplomat. The name Zettle is derived from the German word "zedel," which means "drawing up" or "dispatching." It is also possible that the original bearer of the name Zettle was involved in the judiciary, or in the drawing up of legal documents.
Zettle Early Origins
Bavaria, where this family name became a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times. Always prominent in social affairs, the name became an integral part of that turbulent region as it emerged to form alliances with other families within the Feudal System and the nation. Chronicles first mention Merten Zettelschreiber of Altburg in 1560.

Zettle Spelling Variations
Zettle Spelling Variations
In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Westphalians spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Zettle include Zettel, Zettle, Zettl, Zettels, Zettler, Zedel and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
German settlers were among the most common to come to North America between the mid-17th and mid-20th centuries. Poverty and religious persecution drove many Bavarians to make this long trek. tenant farmers were also enticed by the prospect of owning land. From east to west, these German immigrants populated the United States, settling in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Ontario and the prairie provinces of Canada also provided homes to many. Early settlers bearing the Zettle surname or a spelling variation of the name include:

With the first athletic contest of the brand new Eastern Pennsylvania Conference just days away, we are embarking on a new era in Lehigh Valley scholastic sports. This new 'superconference' was necessary and is the best solution for everyone involved as the now defunct Mountain Valley Conference needed some assistance in order to survive and the Lehigh Valley Conference had exactly what the doctor ordered.
However, there was a time where it seemed like this would never happen.
Early on in the realignment process, the MVC invited all of the LVC schools, except for Allentown Central Catholic and Bethlehem Catholic, to join a new league. Why did the Schuylkill and Monroe county schools shun the Catholic schools?
The general public will never know for certain the exact reasoning behind it, but the masses agree that it is due to their unfair practices, such as recruiting athletes to their institutions.
Recruiting has been rumored to be a practice of both schools as being private schools, they do not have to follow the same regulations that public schools do as far as enrollment.
Originally those issues didn't exist as Catholic schools competed in their own league, but now that the PIAA admitted them into league with public schools, it is now causing some controversy.
Bethlehem Catholic wrestling is the team that always gets looked at when the topic is broached. The Golden Hawks dominated during the regular season as a squad and crowned seven individual district champs, four regional champions and three BeCa wrestlers wore state gold, just this past season.
The former LVC school faced off against Northern Lehigh in the District 11 team tournament this past where the Bulldogs lost 68-3. Afterwards NL coach Steve Hluschak was quoted saying, "At least I know all of my wrestlers have the same zip code."
Palisades forfeited an entire match against Bethlehem Catholic in what is believed to be a protest against the practices of Bethlehem Catholic. It is sad to see such poor practices poisoning scholastic sports here in District 11 and the entire PIAA. Catholic schools always are the top teams competing for the hardware and it is the same across all the sports. Dr. Robert Lombardi, the Executive Director of the PIAA, said that it was very unlikely that private schools would leave the PIAA.
In this writer's opinion, private schools that are recruiting are just ruining the quality of competition at the varsity level. Public schools work hard preparing student athletes for years to have one, maybe two good years at the varsity level, not to have their talent poached. Focus on developing young student athletes and leave the recruiting for the colleges.

The title sounds harsh, doesn't it? However, just look at the pros and cons of having a certification or degree. Without, can one really be sure of the education you received? Without, how can one trust that you will be able to do your job, no questions asked? Perhaps this article will serve as more incentive for many of you to finish your educations and acquire degrees of some sort. I would be justified in doing so, considering so many jobs these days require the minimum of a Master's degree in their respective fields. In a society where we value education enough to make a norm of "No Child Left Behind," a piece of paper will essentially determine your worthiness to a company or employer.
I personally respect the idea behind such great competition. It is, after all, an essential part of our economy. As of current, it is becoming a norm to go to college (which not every person was meant to do, but we seem to have believed it to be so) and there simply aren't enough jobs out there to support the vast amount of peoples who are credible. The competition is healthy but not as prepared for as it should be. The more knowledgeable and credible a person is, they should either get the job, or get paid in more fullness than someone who simply has an Associate's degree.
Many question this to no end: If my aptitude is for this career field, why do I have to prove myself in any way other than my work? In fact, that is the question that (screen name) hercules asks on For or Against. In the forum, hercules claims that her friend can not afford the appropriate schooling, but he is very capable of doing the job – even without the education. Unfortunately, potential employers are simply going to see your unfortunate circumstance as an, "Oh, well! This other guy has what we need."
Deathnote9 comments on the forum, suggesting that it is undoubtedly more than a piece of paper. Our society has put so much emphasis on the certifications and degrees that you can receive that a "piece of paper" can determine worth to a company. Deathnote9 also claims this is the same principle with the dollar. A dollar is simply a paper material, yet has monetary value that we, as a society, have determined it to be. I am also thankful for this value that we have set on pieces of paper – not only does it ensure that the job will be done by capable, credible hands, but it also is another essential aspect of our economy. Of any economy, really.
Of course, I can't convince you that you should go to college. Times are tough and your degree may not be a big help to you – as much as we would like to believe that it will guarantee a job. The Smoking Jacket can try to convince you though, in their article "Four Reasons Why You DO Need A College Degree."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of community clubs?
Clubs across the ACT were built by the community. They were built by football clubs, ethnic based organisations or like minded individuals who wanted a place to meet, have fun and ultimately raise funds for their community.The club industry exists to support local communities and Canberra clubs have been doing this for over 90 years!
ACT clubs are not-for-profit organisations which plough profits back into the community. They play a vital role in the social and economic fabric of our community and help define our city's culture.Clubs are important to every one of us.

All Directors roles are held by volunteers who are acting in the best interests of the club.The Board is responsible for the appointment of paid staff – senior management etc, as well as the financial position of the organisation.Board members are heavily involved in all major business decisions including community contributions, infrastructure development for the community and investment and diversifying of business.
What do clubs contribute to the community?
Clubs provide a wide range of services that benefit the Canberra community.Clubs provide inclusive, social environments where people of all backgrounds can meet, relax, dine, exercise, play sport and enjoy cultural activities of all kinds.There are over 2,300 people directly employed in Clubs. Canberra clubs provide entertainment facilities, manage and maintain recreational and sporting infrastructure and provide the community with millions of dollars of support every year.Canberra clubs donated $125 million in the last decade to over 1,100 community organisations.Almost 80% of all goods and services purchased by Canberra clubs are sourced locally within the ACT.Imagine how severely the local economy would be impacted if clubs ceased to exist?
What do clubs contribute to employment in the ACT?
The ACT has less clubs than every other State and Territory, yet employ more people than every other State, except NSW.Of the 2,300 people employed by clubs in the ACT, 45% are casual employees, 29% are full time and 24% are part time.In 2007 alone, gross expenditure by Canberra clubs was about $208 million with over $86 million paid in wage, salaries and payments to contractors. This pours millions of dollars back into the Canberra economy every year!
What do clubs contribute to live music in Canberra?
ACT clubs discover and nurture a diverse array of local talent, with Canberra's community clubs responsible for almost half of the overall annual venue spend on live music in the Capital. Canberra clubs have not only fostered the growth of Canberra's music scene, but have also leveraged musical careers for many local artists on a national and international stage.Can you imagine what Canberra would be like without clubs' live music contribution?Clubs spend $1.2 million on live music royalties alone, with a further $500 000+ being spent on local bands and entertainers.
How do clubs contribute to sport in the ACT?
Canberra clubs play vital role in fostering sport for all ACT residents… from the youngest teams through to the Masters. Clubs provide accessible, inclusive and positive environments to encourage participation in sport and sporting activities that improve the wellbeing of the community.Did you know Canberra clubs have donated $131.6 million to local sport teams and sporting infrastructure since 2000?Canberra's clubs maintain a wide range of sport and recreational infrastructure including 6 golf courses, 20 bowling greens, 3 cricket fields, 5 football fields, a hockey centre, a basketball stadium, a racecourse, a yacht club and tennis courts.Canberrans are accustomed to using beautifully maintained sporting facilities in the ACT, but don't know most of them are owned and maintained by clubs who have over $500 million of assets under management. Clubs also plan to invest $150 million in facilities or greenfield sites in the next three years.
Why is there a Your Canberra Clubs education campaign?
More than 200,000 people hold club memberships in the ACT – many belong to more than one club. Research undertaken last year revealed that while most members love their clubs, they don't really appreciate or understand the multi-layered role clubs play in the Canberra community or how their own lives would change if clubs are not longer there.
Why is the survival of community clubs now in question?
The community clubs model, which has sustained Canberra's clubs for so long, is under direct threat because of an uncertain legislative environment. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for clubs to diversity and modernise their operations.Clubs have been forced to operate within a constantly changing and increasingly precarious legislative environment for years. The government continues to impose new charges and taxes on clubs and at a rate well above other Australian jurisdictions.For example, did you know the ACT liquor licence fee structure is based on the size of the venue but not to its risk? While clubs in NSW pay just $510 per venue to trade until midnight, an ACT club of similar size and open to the same time is required to pay a $5000 licence fee.Or did you know that since the government changed the general rates regime, clubs collectively pay over $1.5 million in rates a year?And that's before the over $11 million clubs contribute each year to local community organisations.Clubs pay over $33 million in gaming tax on top of rates, water charges, GST and licensing fees. Meanwhile, the government is considering a deal for the casino, which currently only pays $1.5 million. If the government continues to make the operating environment more difficult our not-for-profit clubs will be squeezed out of existence and the whole Canberra community will lose.

Fisher leads Tshwane Open by 1 shot after 2 rounds
CENTURION, South Africa — Ross Fisher of England stormed home with an eagle-birdie-birdie-par finish to grab a one-shot lead in the Tshwane Open after the second round on Friday.
Fisher made five birdies and eagled the par-5 15th hole with a curling 40-footer at Copperleaf for a 7-under-par 65. He's 13 under for the tournament, one stroke ahead of Morten Orum Madsen of Denmark, the South African Open winner who carded seven birdies in his own flawless 65.

I called this dealer on a Tuesday morning and Ritsa Kastoras helped me out. I told her that I wanted a Corolla S 2009 with low miles and with certain specifications. She called back and said I have this car that you maybe interested. She described the car to me and when I came in, it was exactly what I wanted. Then after buying the car the same day, I told Ritsa I will be back Wed night to pick up the car but decided it was too much trouble. So I decided to just take the Ferry Saturday morning. Then on my way home Tuesday night, Ritsa calls and says she is driving my car to SSF to personally deliver my car. WHAT A SERVICE! I have never had an experience like that before. I have bought cars from Land Rover, Mbenz, Lexus and yet this Toyota delaership went beyond my expectations!

Directed by Fred Schepisi, starring Michael Caine, Tom Courtenay, Helen Mirren, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone and David Hemmings.
Based on the 1996 Booker Prize-winning novel by Graham Swift, 'Last Orders' sees Australian director Fred Schepisi direct, as one critic pointed out, all the great British actors who aren't in 'Gosford Park', and one who is (Helen Mirren). The result is a beautifully crafted exploration of the minutiae of life that bind us; of friendship and fate; and one which is the match of Altman's opus and more.
The narrative of the piece is instigated by the death of Cockney butcher Jack Dodds (Caine), and follows the car journey of his friends and only son to carry out, as it were, Jack's last orders – to scatter his ashes over the pier at Margate. The day starts with Vic (Courtenay), an undertaker, bringing the urn containing Jack's ashes to the local pub, where he joins Ray (Hoskins) and Lenny (Hemmings) for a quick one before the journey commences. The trio are transported by Jack's adopted son Vince (Winstone), a flashy used-car salesman who has chosen a shining Mercedes Benz for the lugubrious journey.
Jack's death and the journey to Margate afford the characters the chance to reminisce on the years of friendship and boozy camaraderie they have shared. But, as in life itself, it's not all misty-eyed nostalgia, and the trip serves to drag up their crushed hopes, buried resentments and perennial frustrations. Schepisi's reliance on flashbacks, and sometimes flashbacks-within-flashbacks, offers us a generous history of each character - giving a cumulative degree of involvement in each subsequent present-day scene. We learn that the likeable Ray is Jack's oldest and closest friend, having soldiered together in Egyptian trenches and brothels during WWII. Lenny is a more aggressive character, his pugilistic belligerence nurtured by his regret at having allowed drink and sloth to wreck his chances of becoming a prizefighter. Vince's past is evinced largely through his uneasy relationship with his father, whose pride and dedication as a butcher spilled over into a suffocating and subsequently shattered desire to see his son take over the business. Vic is the only individual who's wholly content with his lot in life, and because of this is actually the least interesting character on show.
There is one noticeable absentee in the Merc – Jack's wife Amy (Mirren). She has chosen not to travel as it coincides with her weekly trip to see June – the severely autistic daughter she bore Jack 50 years previously. In the see-saw of flashback, Jack and Amy's marriage is presented as a deeply contradictory one – their love for each other is never in question, but Jack's is somewhat diluted by Amy's decision all those years ago to keep June and her insistence on travelling to see her each week. One of the film's most touching scenes is Amy's revelation that Jack never once visited his daughter.
'Last Orders' is a very British film, and its examination of some rapidly disappearing British customs and its working class way of life is etched with suitably stifled emotion. We see the way each character feels, but we very rarely actually hear it first person. The superb ensemble cast is splendid, with each actor giving each other room to develop their characters. Nobody tries to steal the limelight, and the resulting rich interplay is simply magnificent. One minor quib is the folly of trying to make the leads look younger for the flashback sequences of the 60s and 70s. Here, some of the hairpieces are passable, but the difficulty in making an actor look younger is simply never overcome.
Overall, however, 'Last Orders' has class stamped all over it. Every once in a while, a film comes along that's invested with such palpable pathos, that's so finely crafted and claustrophobically real that it leaves you feeling the whole gamut of emotions. These films are getting scarcer, which makes 'Last Orders' even more memorable. This will leave you humoured, deflated, exhilarated and, ultimately, engrossed. Schepisi has made one of the films of the year, and certainly one of the best British films in recent times. He, and his superb cast, should take a bow.

NEW Rangers manager Stuart McCall has expressed his bewilderment at Shane Ferguson's inclusion in the Northern Ireland squad to face Scotland next week.
The 23-year-old winger, one of five Newcastle United players loaned to Rangers on the closing day of the January transfer window, has yet to even appear at the Ibrox club's Murray Park training ground as he recovers from a knee injury.
Ferguson has not played a senior fixture since featuring in Northern Ireland's 2-0 win in Greece last October.
But he was recalled to his country's squad yesterday by manager Michael O'Neill, who believes the player might be fit in time to have a role in the friendly against Scotland at Hampden on 26 March and the Euro 2016 qualifier against Finland in Belfast three days later.
That left McCall seeking clarification on Ferguson's fitness, having previously all but ruled out the possibility of him playing any part in Rangers' faltering bid for promotion this season.
"As far as I was concerned, Shane was going to be out for a fair length of time and he hasn't been through the doors here yet," said McCall.
"So I was a bit stunned to learn that he is in the Northern Ireland squad.
"There might be reasons for it, I don't know. It's maybe just to give him a little boost by getting back involved."
It then transpired that O'Neill himself had been provided with overly optimistic information on Ferguson's condition by both the player and Newcastle United.
"I sent the letters out for the squad about two weeks ago so I've had regular conversations with Newcastle and Shane to see where he's at," explained O'Neill.
"He had hoped by now he would be in at Rangers and played a game. That hasn't happened. So it looks unlikely that he will be part of my squad. I could leave him out between now and Sunday but I thought I'd give him as long as possible.
"I had hoped he would be at Rangers now. But we have a situation where the people who brought him to the club are no longer involved there, and the manager is different. Those are things all out of my control. I don't think it will cause Stuart any great concern that Shane is in my squad. If he's not fit to play for Rangers, he won't be part of my squad."
Newcastle manager John Carver had stated at the weekend that Ferguson was "two or three weeks away" from being able to report for duty at Rangers.
That would be welcomed by McCall, although he is not setting great store on the availability of any of the quintet whose loans were arranged by currently suspended Rangers chief executive Derek Llambias through his links to Newcastle owner Mike Ashley.
Haris Vukcic, the Slovenian midfielder who is the only one of the five to make a significant contribution at Rangers so far, limped out of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Livingston with a calf strain and will miss tonight's game against Alloa at Ibrox.
Defenders Remie Streete and Kevin Mbabu, along with midfielder Gael Bigirimana, are not yet in contention for first team action because of injury and illness.
"Kevin has actually played a couple of under-20 games for us but, given how little football he has played in the last couple of years, it's a question of match fitness for him," added McCall.
"I met Remie for the first time today. He's had an ear infection on top of injuries. I'd say he is still two or three weeks away. They are all well away from being available. If that changes, it would obviously be good for the club as it would give us more options.
"If it's the case that Shane will be here in a couple of weeks or so as John Carver has said, then great. I can remember him playing for Newcastle, and also on loan for Birmingham, at a good level. But he has been out for almost six months, so you are talking about six weeks to get him up to any level of playing games."
McCall is more concerned by the immediate priority of reversing the decline in Rangers' league form which now sees them seven points behind second-placed Hibs and just four and five points ahead of Queen of the South and Falkirk respectively in the race for the Championship play-off places.
His first match in charge fell flat on Saturday with two more points dropped at home to bottom-of-the-table Livingston but he remains hopeful the change in management will eventually have a telling effect.
"I would have liked to have hit the ground running on Saturday but we didn't get the performance or result we wanted," said McCall.
"But I look at Tim Sherwood when he went in at Aston Villa a few weeks ago and lost his first two games in charge. Then he's flipped it, though, winning three games on the bounce. Football can change very quickly.
"At the moment, Hibs are flying, other teams in the play-off hunt are winning as well and everyone is writing Rangers off. We've got to accept that at the moment and, the sooner we get a win on the board, hopefully against Alloa on Tuesday night, the better."

Bob Barker, who has been host since Nixon had a favorable approval rating, will share the stage with six Barker's Beauties and, if we're lucky, the yodeling guy in lederhosen who falls off the cliff after someone overshoots the price of a modular sofa. Speaking of daytime institutions, Judy Sheindlin, star of court show Judge Judy and acclaimed author of Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining, gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, then a rocking New York-themed party back at Paramount Studios.

Books Acquired:
The Seeds of Time by John Wyndham
The Outward Urge by John Wyndham
Consider Her Ways and Others by John Wyndham
A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Non-Fiction by Terry Pratchett
Books Read:
The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi
The Captain and the Enemy by Graham Greene
Sex Criminals: Volume 1 by Matt Fraction
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
A Hat Full of Sky (Discworld #32) by Terry Pratchett
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
I found a bunch of John Wyndham novels at a used bookstore, what was I supposed to do? I want to eventually read everything of his, and I convinced myself that these were probably out of print, so I grabbed everything I didn't have. And to be fair, The Outward Urge doesn't seem to be available on Amazon, so maybe I made the right choice?
It's all good, though, because we finally bought new bookshelves. My books have been a mess for months now, stacked vertically and double-layered. It made me sad inside everytime I walked by them. Now, I have everything in order, nothing is stacked, and I still have room for more.
This means I don't have to worry about buying more books for a while. Mwahaha! Just in time for my favourite book sale next month.
Movies watched:
District 9 (2009) – I feel like I heard this wasn't good when it first came out, but I loved it. Science fiction as it should be.
The Boondock Saints (1999) – I also really enjoyed this. I felt like watching something with Billy Connolly in it. It's stylish, in an incredibly 90s way, and violent.
TV watched:
The Mind of a Chef: Season 2 (2013) – This is such a great series. The first two seasons are on Netflix. Season 2 follows Sean Brock for the first half, and he is really great, and the second half follows April Bloomfield, but she wasn't as interesting. It felt like she might have a lot to offer, but the episodes didn't seem to showcase that.
Departures: Season 1 (2008) – Newly added to Netflix. I caught a few episodes of this when it originally aired and loved it, so I was really excited to see it on there. It's a fantastic Canadian travel series. We're nearly finished the second season as well.
Games played:
Insurgency (2014) (PC) – Still playing this, and probably will be for a while. Just a fun shooter for PC.
Pillars of Eternity (2015) (PC) – I kickstarted this three years ago and it finally came out, and it is great so far. A throwback to the Baldur's Gate days. I'm not far into it yet, but if you enjoy isometric RPGs, you can go wrong picking this up. Great writing and fun action.

This is Gaming Cypher's iOS (iPhone) review done by Justin Park for Linia by developer Black Robot Games.
Recently, the mobile puzzle genre seems to be crowded with similar gameplay. Linia brings a fresh new type of puzzle game to iOS. As soon as you start playing, you'll realize the gameplay is something new. Essentially, the player has to swipe across the screen and create a line that hits moving shapes of different colors. The colors the player hits must match the colors listed on the top of the screen in each level. Each level is one of around ten stages per level, and each stage is associated with a NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo…etc.). This means you have plenty of gameplay to enjoy, and a very long way to go before you run out of puzzles in Linia.
As expected, the earlier stages are easier, and soon enough some stages become real brain teasers. The shapes start moving in faster and more intricate paths, and in some cases they don't move until you start swiping. Timing and controlling the length of each swipe is crucial to getting results. There is a degree of patience and precision required that makes through each stage a very rewarding experience. Unfortunately, some of the stages in levels as early as foxtrot can seem impossible. Also the player must complete the current stage to progress to the next one, so there is no option to come back when you've finished other stages in the current level to try again. When you feel very stumped this can be incredibly frustrating, and I can see more casual mobile gamers being put off by the challenge. While the moving pieces in each stage could make it hard to provide clues to the player, any sort of hint feature would definitely help encourage players to keep playing.
As for the art design, Linia has a clear identity. The colors and shapes are simple, clear, and never off putting. The music is limited and not mesmerizing or pleasant enough to listen to instead of your own music when playing. However, it has an off option in the menu and should never negatively impact your experience. One option that would've been appreciated, would be some sort of feature that allows easier navigation through the levels you've finished. Instead of clicking past each stage, a larger menu to easily click or go to the level you want to would have made the game much more user friendly. Also some sort of preview of the design in the stages within the level would have been cool as well.
Overall, Linia is an incredibly fresh and fun puzzle game. The gameplay is very different from most puzzle games in the app store, and it is a lot of fun. With patience and precision, progressing through challenging levels can be a rewarding experience. However, the almost absurd difficulty of some stages and the nature of how you progress in the game could be too much for some people. As mentioned earlier, some sort of hint feature would definitely motivate players to keep trying. A more user friendly menu would also improve the game. However, the shortcomings of Linia should definitely not keep you from playing this very enjoyable game. If you are a fan of puzzle games, Linia is definitely worth trying out. I rate Linia a 9/10.
Here is the official Linia trailer:
You can download Linia on the App Store and Google Play.
iOS Review
Overall Score - 9/10

text: To those of you who continue to go home 3-4 times a week unpaid even though you've been asked to come to work and insist on your 8 hours I've got some bad news for you. Our full pension credit hours will be increasing from 1,800 hrs to 2,000 hrs shortly. That's after going from 1,600 hrs to 1,800 hrs the beginning of this year. You're the ones to blame ... Tell me,those of you who consistently go home at least 3 times a week and can't make your 1,800 hrs,how do you plan on making the 2,000?!! I'm going to have a hard time myself going home the 1-2 times a month I was going home! Oh yeah,not to mention you've made it so easy for them to eliminate routes. A lot of you are the same ones who have been cover drivers for 4,5 or 6 years and cry you can't get a route. Looks like you will be career cover drivers now! Good job! Glad I've only got about 10 years to go. Then you can have my route!

|Reviews for The Broken Alpha
| sweetsouthernsongbird chapter 22 . 1/15/2016
This was a pretty good story. The whole vamp/hybrid thing was pretty good. Love they changed their name to Blackwater.
| Angelina chapter 22 . 8/15/2015
I loved your story. It was very good. Had sad scenes, then lots of happy scenes.
It ended good, besides for Dr. Cullen getting killed:(
I liked that Seth and Jake had a baby and Paul imprinted on it.
It was good.
i liked it alot.
I wanted to check out 'Sins of the father'...but its not there. :(
Guess you deleted it.
| brynn.brigham chapter 20 . 12/22/2013
Nooooo, not Carlisle!
| hopelessromantic5 chapter 3 . 6/9/2013
So glad that Jake did the right thing. The first interaction between Seth and Jake was very awkward but sweet at the same time. At least Jake seems to be attracted to Seth even if it's just the imprint working its magic.
| hopelessromantic5 chapter 2 . 6/8/2013
The pull of the imprint proved to be stronger than the need for vengeance. I feel bad for Seth, a cruel situation that he has absolutely no control over. Sometimes an imprint is more a curse than a blessing. The young wolf falling ill proves that this one might be a curse. I hope Jake does the right thing and saves the pup.
"His wolf has tied itself to yours" I think this is one of the best explanations of imprinting I've read. It's simple and to the point.
Now I want pie and it's your fault.
| hopelessromantic5 chapter 1 . 6/8/2013
Great introduction! I could feel Jacob's agony for losing his parents. The rage of failing to find the killer. The need to do justice by avenging their deaths. This will be a great read and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Thank you for writing.
| angeltrin1 chapter 22 . 6/1/2013
I really really enjoyed this story, I didn't like that you killed Carlisle, he is one of my favorites. I love how you got into Jacob and Seth's head. Thank you for writing this beautiful story.
| angeltrin1 chapter 11 . 6/1/2013
Glad you didn't kill him. That would have sucked!
| Maxylicious chapter 21 . 4/12/2013
Another job well done! there were so many great things you did with the story that I loved to make it truly unique. From the diff approach with the mpreg, making it only visible in wolf form, to naming their daughter Rachel (which I thought was a nice touch) and something minor like not allowing Bella to pick and chose who to shield during the battle like she did in the movie and instead blocking everyones powers. I thought that was pretty cool.
I remember thinking at like chapter 8 "well they are already in love, what the hell do we need 14 more chapters for?" But you kept me goin and I appreciate that. Great job again! (ps this is officially my longest review ever! Lol)
| B chapter 1 . 4/8/2013
I've read the entire story and I've got to say well done. Best story I've ever read in hear
| B chapter 22 . 4/8/2013
This story is literally the best fic I've read. A lot better than the last.
| wolf lover of michigan chapter 22 . 4/1/2013
Hope to see the new story up soon
| mw138 chapter 21 . 3/28/2013
Great story!
| thatbitchcalledkharma chapter 21 . 3/15/2013
That was awesome! Loved your character portrayal, it was very original but still kept to what I personally enjoyed about the characters "true" identities! Definitely one of my favs!
| Romancing the boys chapter 21 . 3/13/2013
Yeah you are still the big softy that likes a good ending.
Still can't believe your not going to write again.
However I will keep a look out because even though your busy now maybe down the track the writing bug will hit you again. I hope it does your writing is to good not to share Mr
Oh and if there is a petition out there to get you to write again I am going to be the first to sign it.
Take care and peace out

A Dish For A King
Northern Peru, close to the border with Ecuador, South America.
Spaniards reach Peru in search of Gold and riches.
A civil war wrecked havoc between two Inca brothers who claimed the throne as theirs.
New epidemics subdued the Indians who were no immune to any of the new plagues. Atahualpa was resting in a higher land city called Caxamarca, waiting for his intelligence to confirm his next move. Either attack Cuzco the capital of the INCA EMPIRE or go back to Quito.
History as we know it:
The legend starts on Northern Peru. Pizarro, a Spaniard Conquistador, arrived on South American Beaches, precisely on the Coast of Tumbes.
He was here before in 1528, but just for recognizance purposes. Local Indians that were decimated by the Inca Atahualpa welcomed them as WIracochas -- saviors or Semi gods with armors and helmets; fair skinned and bearded.
The so awaited 'Wiracochas' or 'godsend bearded' in their language, took several Indian hostages but kept this Indian Called 'Felipillo' who was born on a near Island called Puna.
He learned Spanish in few months and became their translator immediately. At first, he tried to explain of the Incas civil war which involved Huascar and his half brother Atahualpa. Actually Atahualpa had escaped from a prison 6 months before.
Pizarro was checking the nearby towns, subjugated by the Incas. He noticed these well dressed fishermen who were catching fishes with rudimentary spears and surfing and rafting equipment for that time.
Felipillo told the newcomers that these messengers were getting fresh fish for the King Atahualpa, "who was there over the sacred Mountains."
"And how the hell, were they gonna take this perishable seafood up into the Andes?" asked Hernando DeSoto. "The Inca Sapa had deviced a network of Chasquis or running postal deliverers who were the best sprinters from the whole Empire; literally an elite of 'human cheetahs' for the king.
They were able to take posts or this well conceived relay system and transferred their precious delivery, including delicacies as fish or seafood and also crab and shrimps. They usually carried a natural trumpet made of big sea shells and these knotted thread called the talking strings or Quipus.
Pizarro, who always was ahead of everything succeeded in capturing one of these Inca sprinters, who surrendered after trying his best to escape. Five minutes later, Felipillo got hold of the Chasqui and asked, "what was delivering to the Inca Monarch this time...?"
"Royal fish for our Sapa Inca," answered the Chasqui, worried about his own life, making faces to Felipillo who was considered a traitor to his own people. After a few exchange of words in Quechua, Felipillo told the Spaniards to witness the first dish that the Western hemisphere inherited from Peruvian Soil. That is, 'Cebiche'.
The more calmed royal mailman took a knife from his vicuna made undergarment. He looked in the distance and found a natural reef. He told Felipillo that he needed a flattened area to cut the fish. The Conquistadors followed closely. The Chasqui had this cutting tool which was intelligently crafted from fish bone. And at once, the sprinter, started slicing the loaf of fish in square pieces on a flattened bedrock, right by the coast of Tumbes.
Felipillo kept explaining the process in detail to the Spaniards, who were already hungry. "The main secret is the lemon juice," he remarked. When the Chasqui was done cutting the raw meat into small pieces, he asked for a bowl or container. The translator himself brought a bowl made of clay and started squeezing the lemon into the raw meat.
"It would take between 15 to 20 minutes," Felipillo asserted. The fish turned, looking more like a regular marinated chicken. Some hands are better when its time to do the squeezing," explained the messenger in his clear Cuzco Quechua.
"The Inca had a craving for Ceviche from our coastline shores," affirmed the Chasqui, who felt he was already safe. The Inca wanted the fish to reach to him in less than 6 hours. Atahualpa knew of this dish, when He subdued the Northern tribes from Peru In order to keep his harem of concubines happy. "What?"
The Inca submerged himself in a thermal pool. His entourage of concubines were always close to him, even when it was time to take a bath. The Inca was far from believing in his capture.
The Chasqui asked for onions sliced and boiled potatoes.
Pizarro, his brother Hernando, Diego de Almagro, Hernando De Soto and their hundred and eighty conquerors, started to squeeze lemons themselves; some even started to dive into the dangerous ocean waves in order to catch more fishes with their own hands! Horses started to run up and down along the beach, seeing their masters acting like kids. Tumbes people looked in awe. Father Valverde made the sign of the Cross after his early prayer. Suddenly he was grabbed from behind and got thrown into the oncoming ocean waves.
Time To Go!
The Chasqui bowed and asked for permission to get himself going. We were able to capture the breeze that got lost into the rare air and hills, part of his own fellow messengers. Pizarro nodded, but asked the Indian messenger to take a bottle of homemade Castillian 'Wine' that they brought from Badajoz de Jerez, Spain. "This way the Inca will know before hand, that we come as friends and perhaps allies in future endeavors," said Pizarro. The Chasqui was not in the mood to do it, but was warned by Felipillo. "Just abide, or else..!"
Father Valverde, a Catholic Converter Bishop wanted so bad to start to save souls. He made the sign of the cross and waved good bye to this Inca messenger.
Legend has it that the wine was already tainted and poisoned by the Spaniards. Atahualpa got hold of it as a present, not as a drink. Four weeks later Hernando Desoto went to visit the Inca himself. Hernando took another bottle and opened it He told the Inca that, "the wine held spirits form the old world." The Inca was not really impressed but was forced by his concubines and General Quizquiz. The emperor drank of his own bottle, and shared it with his Generals at the request of Hernando DeSoto, who went to visit him at his royal tent on November 15th, 1532, the night before the historical capture of the last Monarch to eleven million of souls.
Hernando DeSoto would leave PERU rich in gold, and as we know he would travel to Florida in 1539, in search for the famous fountain of youth. Which he never found, except for his discovery of the Mississippi river.
It's believed that the word Ceviche was coined by Pirates from England. The word that originated the actual name came from the two words, "sea beach."
2 or 3 lbs. of tilapia fish fillets, no bones needed
8-10 garlic cloves chopped, good for your heart
salt, 1 teaspoon
chopped cilantro, 2 teaspoons, for flavor
1 Habanero pepper or jalapeno, will open all your pores...sorry!
8 to 10 squeezed lemons on a small bowl, enough to cover the fish
1 red onion sliced and rinsed to avoid those sentimental feelings. LOL, white
onions might work too.
Mixed in all the ingredients except the onion sliced rings
place on top of the marinated pulp those red onions. Put it in the freezer for 30 min. to let the
juice make its magic!
Serve with boiled potatoes in slices to cut down the spicy taste, you can add sweet potatoes as well.
As a decorative ingredient, you can add lettuce leaves on the side.
Serve with joy!
This recipe is rich in beta carotene and omega oil.
more for your imagination...
I love the stuff. It's one of my favorite dishes and quite popular here in Texas. I enjoyed the rest of the content you served up with it as well!
well at least i try to but decoding comes tough to me.. i try my level best though lol..will checkout that hub soon
you got my attention to the very end :D cool recipe with a history.
That recipe sounds delicious.
Just a little professional advice. You might break up your paragraphs a bit to make it easier to read. Just a suggestion.

Despres, Casteu and Blais ride to glory in world's toughest rally.
KTM Factory riders made a clean sweep of the podium at the conclusion of the Dakar 2007 Rally Sunday when Cyril Despres (Gauloisses KTM) came home safe and sure in the final stage to finish overall leader by 34.19 minutes. The rally, which started on January 6 in Lisbon has taken riders 8696 gruelling km to the finish line at Lac Rose near Dakar to live up to its reputation as the world's toughest rally for both man and machine.
The 32-year old Frenchman finished ahead of fellow Gauloisses KTM team-mate David Casteu with American rider Chris Blais (Red Bull KTM), 52 minutes behind the leader, finishing third.
"I am really happy with the victory," Despres said. " I approached it day by day and I tried not to look forward too far. I have never doubted that I could win the Dakar again. I knew I could do it. I know my skills and I had faith in myself, my team and my bike. "
Despres won the event in 2005. His latest victory was a tribute to his superiority on his KTM machine but also a touch ironic. His arch rival and friend Spaniard Marc Coma (Repsol KTM) had a commanding lead going into the final stages and seemed certain to secure his second consecutive Dakar victory when navigation problems and a crash dashed his hopes on Friday. The door was then opened for Despres to ride home steadily to seize the 2007 title. Ironically the situation was the complete reverse of what happened in the closing stages of the Dakar 2006. Then Despres looked a sure winner in the final stages only to crash out and retire with a broken collarbone, leaving the glory to Coma. The Spaniard, hospitalized and badly shaken after his crash Friday, was already back in the paddock with fellow KTM riders on Saturday afternoon.
KTM 690 Rally proves its worth
The three podium places for KTM continue the company's winning streak in the world's toughest rally, which they won for the first time in 2001 and have continued to dominate ever since. Above all the 2007 victory confirms the dominance and reliability of the new KTM 690 Rally race bike, the first time it has been used in the Dakar. Further developed and refined over the last year with significant input from factory riders, the 690 was also extensively tested in other world class rallies during the 2006 season by Marc Coma.
New neck brace helps protect riders
True to its reputation as the world's toughest rally, the Dakar this year claimed its share of non-finishers. Coma had prophetically remarked in an interview on Thursday that despite a commanding lead he didn't consider himself the winner until Sunday. His dream went up in a cloud of dust the following day. Four of the other eight KTM factory riders also did not finish. Thankfully, although they were taken out of contention through a series of crashes over the eight stages, all of them escaped serious injury. This was a testament to the effectiveness of the new KTM Neck Brace protection system that all KTM factory riders wore for the Dakar 2007.
Hans Trunkenpolz, Overall Team Manager expressed his satisfaction with both the result and his entire team.
"As always the Dakar is very, very tough," he commented. "Apart from the great effort from Despres, Casteu and Blais I am really satisfied with the performance of the entire team and with the new 690 Rally race bike. I would like to extend my thanks to every single team member for their dedication and their hard work."

Alex Alvarez purchased this villa in 2012
Nicely appointed condo convenient to The Lake House and another property our family was gathering at for the Holiday.
Though we missed being right on the water, our condo was well appointed, comfortable, and easy to get to parking (not a ton of stairs) and the pool was a short walk. We enjoyed the neighborhood, too.
This was a perfect spot for anyone- especially those with love of tennis or with small kids. I have two small children who loved it! Walk across the street to indoor AND outdoor pool. Outdoor pool has "walk in" kid area. Children playground behind behind outdoor pool. This was a perfect trip in that we saw dolphins at the Beah Club... we were so lucky to see turtles hatching Friday morning. Such a great visit and this condo is minimalistic but at the same time stocked well. I definitely recommend it.
We loved the villa. It was exactly the right size for our family. It was clean and very pretty. We liked that it was near a market where we could get groceries. The beach was beautiful and it was nice not crowded with tourists. We saw a ton of wildlife on our drive to the beach. We will be making a trip back to Seabrook!
This is our 4th or 5th stay and we are always pleased with our accommodations. Alex is very fair and easy to deal with. The unit us clean and comfortable as well as a great value.
Alex and Sue's condo was very cozy and comfortable!! Tastefully decorated and has all the necessities you need! Since it was often cold and windy, I was content to relax here and read or watch the many movie channels Alex has provided .Charleston is nearby and Kiawah Is. is 5 minutes away! There are many good places to eat and I tend to gravitate to where the locals dine! I would recommend staying here if you want a vacation home in a beautiful,natural setting!! The tennis courts are adjacent to the Villas and walking around the island is a must!! I really enjoyed staying here and do not look forward to going home to 2 feet of snow!!!
This lovely 2 bedroom villa is steps to tennis courts. The Live Oak Villa community has a swimming pool. The Community Lake House (approximately 100 yards away) has indoor and out door pool, full gym and library. Gorgeous beaches, two golf courses, equestrian center and community clubhouse make this a woderful get away resort.

What's the universal meaning of the story, "The Most Dangerous Game"?
- print Print
- list Cite
In Richard Connell's short story, "The Most Dangerous Game," the exposition is pregnant with meaning. For, it points to the universal meaning of the narrative of Sanger Rainsford's mortal combat against General Zaroff, a life-and-death struggle that has gone on since time immemorial. For, ironically, it is Rainsford himself who utters this truth without realizing its terrible significance as he tells his friend Whitney,
Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters.
The universal meaning of "The Most Dangerous Game" is that, indeed, the world is composed of predators and their prey. The life struggle is one of the strong against the weak, whether it involve sports, business, personal relationships, community, or anything else. It does not matter how technically developed a country is, how sophisticated its society, how loving its family--there are those who will strive to dominate, even those who will destroy. There are also those who will be victimized because somehow they are vulnerable.
In his wish to extend his "game" one more day, Zaroff makes the mistake of thinking that Rainsford is truly the huntee. In reality, Rainsford has been forced into this posture; but it is not his by nature. Therefore, as soon as he is afforded the opportunity to resume his true role of predator, Rainsford does so. He indicates this when he tells Zaroff, "I am still a beast at bay." But, then, he instructs his foe with words of the hunter, "Get ready, General Zaroff." And, they duel, the two predators.

The History of the Church
Howard A. White
At the close of the "Dark Ages", Papal authority in religious matters was in full swing everywhere. Papal domination was sought and gained even in political affairs. In many instances, the Catholic Church resorted to carnal warfare in order to increase its power. The masses were in total ignorance of the Bible. It was truly the "Dark Ages." Simony, the custom of selling church offices to the highest bidder, was a universal practice. Miscellaneous moneymaking schemes, such as indulgences and confessionals, were a source of rich profits to the church. "While the Papacy tightened its grip upon the Catholic Church, and set itself against all reform of any kind, there arose some dissenting voices, who protested against the immorality among the clergy and spoke strongly against papal interference in political affairs."1
Gleams of light began to shoot through the darkness as individuals made attempts to reform the Catholic Church. D' Aubigne calls these movements "Protestantism before the reformation."2 Fisher speaks of them as "Reformers before the reformation."3 At this time we shall call attention to five of these early movements which arose for reform in the church. However, the world was not ready for them and they were repressed with bloody persecution.
The greatest work of Wycliffe for the enlightenment of the world was the translation of the Bible into the English Langauges.4 "Excluded from Oxford in 1382 he retired to Lutterworth where he died. Years after his death his enemies had his body dug from the grave and burned and his ashes scattered on a brook that flowed into Avon River. Wordsworth later celebrated this in his Ecclesiastical Sonnets by symbolising the spread of his doctrine to all the world as the waters of the ocean washed all the shores with his ashes."5
He was finally arrested. While in prison he wrote a tract on the fifty-first Psalm in which he set forth his ideas of justification. He was tried, condemned, and on May 23, 1498, he was burned to death in the square at Florence in front of the church where he preached so long.
As already pointed out, these early efforts at reform were soon repressed for they were somewhat premature in view of the governing circumstances. However, certain forces were in action during this period which were serving to prepare the way for a far-reaching movement which today is known as the Protestant Reformation or Revolution. Let us give brief notice to a number of these causes.
Before this invention, from the beginning of time, books had been circulated only as rapidly as they could be copied out by hand. A Bible in the Middle Ages cost the wages of a working man for a year. It is significant as showing the desire of that time, that the first book printed by Gutenberg was the Bible. The press brought the Scriptures into common use, and led to their translation and circulation in all languages of Europe. The people who read the New Testament soon realised that the papal church was far from the New Testament ideal.8
In this historical fact we see a demonstration of the power of God's word to enlighten the hearts of men and expel the darkness of superstition, ignorance and tradition. As it was then, so has it ever been and so it is today. The more people know of God the greater will be their distance for the traditions and superstitions of men.
The seeds which produced the Reformation were beginning to germinate. At the first the hand of persecution cut off each effort at reformation, but the idea was spreading and finally it gathered such momentum that it was able to march on in spite of efforts to crush it.
The only logical place to begin a study of what might be called the "Reformation Movement Proper" is with Martin Luther. He is known as "the hero of the Reformation." Some said that "Luther, apart from the Reformation, would cease to be Luther." The son of a miner, he was born at Eisleben, Germany, November 10, 1483. He was reared under rigid disciple by parents who were poor, but self-respecting. The severe discipline of home and school, and the privations of early life prepared him for later hardships and trials. His early ambition was to study law. After reading a copy of the Bible for the first time, he changed his plans against his father's will. He entered a monastery at the age of twenty-one and studied in earnest. He later said, "if ever a monk got to heaven by monkery, I would have gotten there."9 He became a preacher at Wittenberg and also taught in the university in 1508.
Pope Leo X was eager to complete St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome. A number of papal agents were sent out to sell indulgences as a means of raising money. A man by the name of John Tetzel proved to be a super-salesman. Luther questioned the whole system of indulgences and vigorously opposed it. In October, 1517, he posted, on the church door at Wittenberg ninety-five propositions, or thesis, condemning the practice of indulgences and challenged anyone to debate with him. This, of courses, caused a reaction, both favorable and unfavorable, all over Germany. Many souls rejoiced at the boldness of Luther. A great controversy followed. The dispute made Luther realize that human authority was against him and that it was necessary for him to plant his feet upon the Scriptures more distinctly.
On June 15, 1520, Leo X issued a papal bull, which gave Luther 60 days to change his course. On December 10, of that year, Luther burned the pope's decree at the city gate. By this act he threw off his allegiance to the Roman Church. During the year 1520 he had clearly expressed his views on vital issues. He published three pamphlets in which he opposed the sanctity of the priesthood. He called upon the nobles to throw off the bandage of Rome and take over the lands and wealth that was held by the Church. He challenged the authority of the pope and condemned the sacramental system, and he set forth his views on the subject of salvation. On January 3, Pope Leo issued a bull of excommunication. Four months later, the Diet of the Holy Roman Empire declared Luther an outlaw, but he founded protection in the castle of Frederick, Elector of Saxony.
Luther was summoned to the Diet of Worms by the Emperor, Charles V, in 1521. At the trial, when the assembly called upon him retract his statements, he said, "Unless I am persuaded by means of the passages which I have quoted, and unless they thus render my conscience bound by the Word of God-I cannot and will not retract ... Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise so help me God." On his way from Worms, he was seized by masked horsemen who took him to Wartburg Castle where he remained in safety for almost a year. He died at the age of sixty-three, February 18, 1546, while on a visit to his birthplace at Eisleben.|The Early Church| |Apostasy in the Early Church| |Development of Papal Power| |Reformation Movement| |Rise of Denominations| |Spread of Denominations| |Restoration Movement| |A Warning| Reference

Greetings, I'm Dr. Julia James and I'm here to talk about all things business and technology in MCM's newest column, Business Buzz.
Now that we're into February, perhaps some of you are reevaluating your New Year's resolutions and focusing on what your true goals are for 2013. For many, this means aspirations of a new job or of moving up that corporate ladder. The most common question I get is, How can I get a promotion? This, of course, is a "loaded question". Sure, many of you may be thinking that all you need to do is brush-up your resume and start networking.
Both of these are great ideas. But if I were to give you only one bit of advice, it would be to start acting the part. It doesn't matter if you're a manager or a worker-bee, you have got to start acting like a leader and more importantly start acting like you care. Care about what? You need to start demonstrating that you care about your job, about your company, and about your industry. I know some of us don't like our job. The reality is that we don't all love our jobs but most of us are not independently wealthy so we have to make money (the legal way)!
Dr. Julia's prescription: Talk to your supervisors, and to their supervisors, when the opportunity arises—either at the proverbial water cooler, on your walk out to the car, in the elevator, or wherever you can—seize any chance you're offered. Show your interest in the long-term, well-being of the company and show them that you are knowledgeable about the industry. This is the age of the information-highway, so there's no excuse otherwise. With just a quick "Google-search" you can find plenty of information on industry trends and, even better, what your competition is up to! In the end, management wants to have people on their side who care about the future. Your job is to plant that seed in their thoughts, that you are a valuable employee and, in addition, one who values the company.
It's funny when you start acting the part, you might even surprise yourself and find that you actually do care! Or, at the least, that you are valuable and you are a great asset! If your employer doesn't notice maybe the competition will.
Dr. Julia James has fifteen years of business and management experience with top Fortune 100 firms in various capacities both as an employee and also as a trusted consultant. In addition, she is a leadership coach assisting top executives on how to attain the competitive edge needed to succeed in the cut-throat business world. A self-proclaimed techie lover, she enjoys working- out, following sports and visiting top LA hot-spots. Connect with Dr. Julia at firstname.lastname@example.com and on Twitter: @DrJuliaJames

The Romantic Side of Manchester & £30 off Airbnb!
Today's blog post is all about my recent short stay in Manchester for me and Tom's 2 year anniversary together.
But first, I just wanted to start off the blog by quickly saying a massive thank you for 1000 followers on Instagram! It is such a milestone number for me, just because it is so hard to gain followers on Instagram, as you tend to earn 3 then lose 5 followers. To mark such an occasion, I have a giveaway over on my Instagram! You can enter by checking out my blog post on all the details of the giveaway! Giveaway closes on 31st May, so be quick!
Fashion, Hair & Beauty: 1K Instagram Followers UK GIVEAWAY!
Instagram: https://instagram.com/p/BT7Ky2WDQPi/
Moving on with the blog post, we stayed for 2 nights in the Northern Quarter (NQ) and stayed in our first ever Airbnb studio apartment. You can sign up to Airbnb using my referral link and you can get £30 off your first stay at Airbnb!
The place we stayed in was called Urbana Apartments and this was a block of lovely, modern apartments. Here are some pictures below of the apartment:
Both Emma and Claire were lovely hosts! We didn't get to meet them, but they answered all my questions regarding my first booking with Airbnb and were very helpful and fast to respond!
When we got to Manchester, it was just before lunch time and it was roughly a 15-minute walk from Piccadilly Train Station.
We decided to stop off for brunch while we were in the Northern Quarter before checking into the apartments at the Teacup Kitchen. It looked cute from the outside and I'm always a sucker for local coffee shops! I loved this little cafe because despite the cafe being very packed, the table service was very quick and our food and drinks didn't take long to get to us! We were actually sitting with a view of the open kitchen, so we could see the staff getting busy in the kitchen and you could tell that every dish was made with love. I had the French Toast and Tom had the Bacon & Egg Pancakes and they were absolutely divine! It was definitely one of the best French Toasts I've had and the salted caramel sauce added a lovely touch to the dish to balance sweet and savoury.
Later in the day, I thought as an anniversary treat, I'd book me and my boyfriend a couple's massage treatment at Spa Satori. It was such a lovely spa and the staff were very welcoming! I'd definitely recommend this spa if you happen to pass by Manchester to escape for half an hour of peace and tranquility.
We then thought we would go to the Arndale Centre to do a bit of shopping. As a shopaholic I can't go out to a city and not do any shopping! I absolutely love Bubble Tea, and we stopped by the Bobo Tea kiosk to get some Bubble Slushies and they were so refreshing! If you like slushies, I'd definitely try one of these slushies at the kiosk!
After a few hours of shopping, we decided to head back to the apartment to get ready for our anniversary meal. The meal was in Spinningfields, so it would have been a 20-minute walk and it was raining that evening, so we decided to book our first Uber!
You can use my promo code 'jenniferl26887ue' to get a free ride with Uber!
I got a few comments on my Instagram about my outfit, so I'll link the outfit details down below:
Playsuit – Love Printed Bardot Playsuit
Heels – ASOS SAVOY Mid Black Heels
Necklace – Hearts of PANDORA Necklace
Bag – YSL Monogram Saint Laurent Chain Wallet in Black Grain de Poudre Textured Matelassé Leather
For makeup, you can check out my GRWM blog post, which is typically the makeup I wear on date nights:
Beauty: Get Ready With Me (GRWM) – Blog Edition
We then took a 10-minute Uber to Spinningfields to go to Australasia! I've always wanted to visit this restaurant, as it ranks highly in the top restaurants in Manchester. The restaurant combines Australian cuisine inspired by European cooking traditions with flavours of the Pacific, including Indonesian, Southeast Asian and Japanese influences.
There are two ways that you can order in this restaurant…
Option 1: You can get several small plates to share.
Option 2: You can choose the traditional method and select starters to be served to the centre of the table and then get a main dish.
Me and Tom decided to go for option 1, as we wanted to explore the large selection of dishes on their menu.
The dishes we had were:
My favourite dishes had to be the Squid and the Pork Wontons, the wontons were so good that we ordered two of them! I wasn't too keen on the Nigiri Sushi and Lamb Cutlets, because I've never been keen on food that is cooked rare, but Tom enjoyed them. The Satay Chicken Skewers were a little disappointing, as the sauce just didn't sit well with me.
We both enjoyed a little tipple to celebrate our anniversary. I had champagne and Tom went for a red wine:
We then ordered dessert and got the cutest complimentary dessert platter for our anniversary, and obviously I had to get snaps of the platter and desserts we ordered:
I chose the Pineapple Downunder with Cherry and Coconut, and Tom had the Artisan Sorbets.
The bill arrived and we practically paid for a meal for like 6 people, but good food is worth paying for!
The next day we decided to explore around the city centre, as the weather was beautiful! I've never been into Manchester Corn Exchange, so we took a peek inside and the architecture inside was absolutely stunning! We would have loved to eat here, but we came in a tad too early. The place was just so light on the inside and I can't wait to go back in the future to hopefully have lunch or dinner!
For lunch, we decided to head to The Printworks to try the Hard Rock Cafe. We've been to one Hard Rock Cafe before over in Tenerife (Travel: Tenerife – Why Are The Canary Islands Different From Mainland Spain?) for cocktails, but not for food and we definitely missed out! The food here is really like a taste of America and the staff were so enthusiastic on educating us on all of their displays of merchandise of famous artists and bands.
Following the Hard Rock, we just wanted a few hours away from the bustling Manchester City Centre, so we decided to head to The Odeon, which I now believe has been taken over by Vue Cinema, since my visit. I love thrillers, horrors and paranormal movies, so we decided to watch Get Out, which had a very interesting twist towards the end of the film, and it was definitely a storyline that caught your attention! I won't ruin the film for others who haven't seen it yet, but if you like trying to figure out where a story is going, this one is one for you!
On our last evening, we decided to try out a restaurant in the Northern Quarter in Manchester and we both were feeling a restaurant with an Italian Cuisine, so we decided on Dough Pizza Kitchen and wasn't that an amazing choice!
I'm glad I booked a table on Opentable, because the restaurant was packed by 6pm! I can see why this restaurant was so busy, because the food was something very special! We ordered Sweet Potato Crisps and Garlic Dough Dippers with Cheese for starters and they looked so good I almost forgot to take a picture of them, because I just wanted to scoff them all!
For mains we both were looking at pizzas and when the waitress came over to us, we ended up unintentionally ordering the same pizza, which was the Shredded Confit Duck Modern Pizza, and I wish that pizza never ended! I literally only ever eat Dominos Pizza, but I could have this pizza everyday and I can see why Dough Pizza Kitchen is famed for their mouth-watering pizzas!
On our final day in Manchester, we decided to head to an American Diner for brunch, because we walked past this diner everyday when we were walking to and from the city centre and it would be rude not to try it! We went to the Infamous Diner, which is around the corner from the Arndale. I absolutely loved the interior in this diner, because we felt like we had been transported to America.
I had the Breakfast Plate, whereas Tom couldn't decide between waffles, pancakes or an American Breakfast, so he got them all with the All American Breakfast, which looked amazing, but it was such a massive portion that looking at it made you feel full!
I hope this blog post inspired you to take a trip to Manchester to explore the many amazing eateries! I am so lucky to live so close to Manchester to explore all of these lovely places! I do have another blog post about exploring cafes around Manchester, so if you want to give that a read as well, I have linked it down below:
