What a sweet room Cindy! You must be feeling quite comfortable in your new home now. It's truly lovely. (And yes...plates would be gorgeous over your bed.)
I noticed the sweet birds on your bedside table. Quite a few years ago I found that same piece at a terrific price and mailed it to my friend for her birthday. I never thought about how heavy it was. Shipping it cost way more than the sweet birds. Good thing my friend still has it and enjoys it. ;) I love seeing how you are displaying yours.
Best wishes for an Extraordinary weekend!! - March 20, 2014 6:10 PM

I think your bedroom looks just beautiful! I would love a closer look at that chair by the window. I think I just found the same chair at Goodwill but not looking as pretty as yours...yet! I would be putting coverings on the window--maybe at least during times of the year when the heat doesn't turn on? I think the wall will look lovely birds egg blue. Our bedroom also opens to the livingroom in our small house. There is a hallway that has the kids' bedrooms. If I don't make the bed I just close the door :) Thanks for hosting...enjoyed your post!

I think your new apartment is looking really pretty. I agree with the other commenter about using/seeing the French chair more. As for your room, I have a few suggestions:
1) Put the new mirror between the bathroom and closet (where you currently have the wicker chair).
2) Add blue toile plates (like the one you had in your old kitchen) above the headboard in an arch to mimic the headboard.
3) Remove the wood hutch and paint it a soft blue. Set that on top of the tall dresser.
4) Take the table your wood hutch was on and add the French chair and place the oval wicker mirror over the table, making a pretty French vanity. You can add your antique silver brush/comb set to accessorize (you know how to accessorize so you'll figure that out).
5) I'd lose the wicker chair. If you need to keep it for the dogs, I'd put it in the corner near the bathroom where you have that other birdcage. You can always move that over to the area near the window.
6) As for the window area, instead of curtains, you could always add a pretty screen-instead of an oriental screen, you could even make one using toile fabric similar to the ones in your pillow.
7) Also, not sure if there is enough room, if you got rid of the wicker chair you could always add a pretty bench to the edge of the bed, maybe in the same blue velvet that's on the chair, and use that for the doggies.
Overall, the new apartment is really pretty. I can relate to your decorating challenges since I lived in a similar style apartment for some ten years. - March 20, 2014 6:41 PM

Thank you so much for hosting this great party.
Your apartment is very nice and I love what you have done to your bedroom.
My son wants me to move up to Los Gatos and I would have to sell my home and move into an apartment, but I have 2 dogs, but I see that you have dogs. Are you close to Los Gatos and do you have a patio? It will be a big change for me but less work and I am not giving up my dogs.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I'm so glad that you maximize your storage by using that under-bed space--me too, Cindy! I'm loving what you've done so far to make the place yours. I'll look forward to a dreamy blue focal wall. And maybe lace shirred on tension rods in that window would give you some privacy but disguise the aluminum windows? I know you'll find a creative solution and it's worth having a home with such great healthy exercise amenities!

Hi Cindy,
I recognize the cabinet in your bedroom as the one that used to house your chintz...I missed it when you moved it out of your living room in your old apartment.
What became of the chintz?
Your new apartment is beautiful, I look forward to every new post!
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks so much for hosting, Cindy! It's always a pleasure to browse your party:-)
That window in your bedroom with the heat right below is a bummer... My suggestion would be a nice new shade with a matching valance to make a statement of it rather than to make it blend out of sight. The valance can be something frilly and come half-way down the window without danger from the heater below :-)
May light, love and laughter fill your weekend!
Blessed be,

Your bedroom looks great! How could it not with your pretty furniture and bedding. Don't worry too much about that crown molding...as soon as you get your plates or art on the wall you'll forget about it. I can totally envision the big mirror in there!!

Hi Cindy,
I've been thinking about the window challenge. Love the idea of having a shade--even a cordless blind because then you can filter light and it retracts nearly flush at the top or opt for a reflective or blackout type for privacy. That would allow you to have a drape that you wouldn't have to pull closed. You might want a sheer curtain (robin's egg blue?) over that with a drape (or stationary panel drapes on each side), but just have them come to the bottom of the window sill, so as not to interfere with the heating unit. It will still be very elegant in your lovely bedroom. - March 21, 2014 6:07 AM
- Rena Designs said...
Cindy why don't you have a piece of crown molding added to your headboard wall. It will be visible from the doorway. How about wooden shutters that close, hung in your window? Gives that cottage feel. But your room, and your whole apartment for that matter, is coming along very nicely. Enjoy!
- March 21, 2014 6:11 AM
- Victoria said...
Your bedroom looks gorgeous Cindy! Could you maybe put some time of curtain that pulls up? Like a blind type of thing. Or put sheers up and tie them at the bottom so they don't touch the heater!
Everything looks amazing, can't wait to see more:) - March 21, 2014 7:15 AM
- Jean Bee said...
I'm loving your updates! I have the same window/heater situation in my bedroom and I have curtains hung from the ceiling to the floor and there is no problem with the heater. Also, if you have the "mini blinds' that have strings down each side through small holes...be careful - people can see through the holes if it's dark outside and you have your lights on. This happened to a friend of mine who had a "regular" window peeper looking through hers! Sorry to be a downer about that!

Your apartment is lovely, it takes a while to settle in, keep moving things around (I'm still doing it years later). A suggestion for the ugly window - I have one too. I hung a lace panel over it with a tension rod and then drapes that I open and close that are just to the bottom of the window, no where near the rad that is under the window.

What a beautiful room! Love the bedspread! As a matter of fact, I own it too! :) Your dresser is almost just like mine too, but mine is cherry wood. My mom stained it that color when I was young and I just can't paint it! Right now, I have a light sea foam green/aqua quilt, which I think compliments the dark wood. Happy Spring Cindy! Thanks so much for hosting and sharing!:)

Love your new bedroom. For the window on the walkway, you might try (temporary) stick on frost or lace http://www.harrietcarter.com/lace so the light can come in but no one can see in. Good luck!

Just love how this (cottage) apartment is coming together! Having been a military wife for many years all my decorating had to be cheap and non-permanent. You might go to any big box store and buy vinyl exterior shutters (very easy to paint), add four sets of hinges down to connect shutters. Then stand IN window on window sill. Buy drapery rod, hang a panel each side to hide edges of shutter (and added privacy)and in center on same rod- (not one long valance over all)-unless money permits. Now you have cottage look, light AND privacy, heater problem solved. What about a spindle-back bench in front of window with cushion for dogs? Cushion could be covered in a third drapery panel. Think of the fu-fu lacy or floral throw pillows you could add for charm! Bottom then is open for heat, and, adds charm to room. My favorite so far is view from kitchen to patio...perfection, great vibe! Lov'in the whole place! THANKS for sharing such a great under-taking with all of us fans! The very best to you!

Oh Cindy it's all coming together so nicely with your signature style. I always love to see how pieces are worked into new settings. Editing isn't easy when it comes to a new home, but you are doing a wonderful job. I can't tell you how much I look forward to your next post. You are such a dear to share with us. Oh and p.s. congrats on an enormous walk-in, multi- functional closet! I am green with envy ( the good kind)! Lol. Hugs...Fay

You've worked wonders on your new bedroom! Loved it! I had a thought, have you considered a fabric section of wall stapled behind the headboard, you could glue trim on to hide the staples, then you wouldn't have to repaint when you move.... Of course, you could make a pillow to match the fabric wall for your bed or chair too. ☺

Love x 18!
I have only a few moments to dash off a comment with these thoughts:
The window: Been here before with this predicament. What I did was add the window treatment I wanted, which was simple sheers, and inserted two rods-- one tension rod at the top and one tension rod into the bottom hem pocket. No heat was lost and the look I needed was achieved.
We travel often, so while we're gone, Hubby wanted something to cover his large desktop computer flatscreen. Enter an attractive pillowcase! You could sew your own, or do what I did and snip open one long seam and stitch up the pillowcase's original opening. Tada! Attractive dustcover!
Hugs and happy highways,
Kelley~ - March 25, 2014 6:17 PM

BTS Tour Tickets Are More Popular Than Super Bowl Tickets
BTS tour tickets have sold almost twice as many tickets as the Super Bowl in just three days.
The boys are headed on their Map of the Soul World Tour in 2020 and tickets for the highly-anticipated concert were released last week with StubHub reporting they've already outsold the Super Bowl. Considering the football game is one of the most sought-after events of the year, this just proves BTS' world dominance.
Data also reveals fans from all 50 states and 24 countries have purchased tickets and that the group have already beat sales for other pop artists such as Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. Plus, they're the No. 1 top-selling artist in the past 30 days, beating Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Elton John and My Chemical Romance.
"As the surge in K-pop grows, BTS continues to drive unprecedented demand for concert ticket sales on StubHub," Jeff Poirier, general manager of music and theater for StubHub, said in a statement. "In fact, the BTS 2020 tour is driving demand unlike anything we've seen from a pop act in recent years, outperforming the on-sale demand of Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, among others."
The data isn't surprising since BTS' Love Yourself: Speak Yourself stadium tour also had huge first-day sales last year, outselling some of music's biggest stars, including the Rolling Stones, Cardi B, Korn and Florida Georgia Line.
BTS' new world tour kicks off on April 11 in the band's hometown of Seoul, South Korea, before heading to cities across Asia, North America and Europe. You can buy tickets and find more information here.
The group's new album Map of the Soul: 7 drops next week.

Back in late 2009, when I began
working on Praise of Motherhood, I had envisioned a book
very different from what I ended up submitting to my publisher. I'd just lost
the woman who'd raised me, and when I wasn't sitting around numb and brooding, I was frantically trying to contain the universe of loss and suffering in a single Word document on my laptop.
I wanted to write a book that expressed the impossibility of letting go. We're often told, when someone close
to us dies, that we have to move on, that things will get better. I couldn't accept this back then: I didn't think it was possible to let go of my mother, who had been so patient and kind during my weird teenage years.
The first two versions were entirely different from each other in form and tone, but they did have a certain
delight in chaos in common. I was mourning the only way I knew how: by adopting a hundred different voices, each trying to say something about my mother that the others couldn't say. One chapter was pure dialogue; another was a series of letters; for a while I wrote in breathless page-long paragraphs because it was the only way I could feel "honest" about what I felt. I'd swing from rage to self-pity to sadness to bliss to sheer bafflement.
It was only when I decided to turn this book into something that others could actually read without going insane
that I figured out how to structure a book like this. I cut a great number chapters because they were "honest" but unhelpful. I tried to make myself a sort of antagonist, so my mother's qualities as a human being could be emphasized. I
left things relatively ambiguous instead of offering anything like words of wisdom to my readers. I tried to leave the book as open as the wound that stayed after my mother died.
This has irritated some people. They ask why I don't provide a real sense of what my mother was like on a
day-to-day basis, or why I focused so much on how she affected my life instead of just writing about her, as a person in her own right. Fair questions — but I never set out to just "write about my mom". I wanted to write about the struggle
of losing her, and what made losing her so painful. That's why I ask questions in the book that I never really answer: because I was never able to answer them myself. They are questions that will remain.
Praise of Motherhood isn't a book praising all mothers across all ages. It's not meant to praise the idea of "motherhood" itself as some glorious ideal. I wrote this book because I wanted to transmit something of my mother to those who
didn't know her; those who, perhaps, need to hear that it's okay to say you love your mommy and you wish she could still be here when you feel like crying.
As part of this special promotional extravaganza sponsored by Novel Publicity, the price of the Praise of Motherhood eBook edition is just 99 cents this week. What's more, by purchasing this fantastic book at an incredibly low price, you can enter to win many awesome prizes.
The prizes include $500 in Amazon gift cards and 5 autographed copies of the book.

"After a While"
After a while you learn
the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn
that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses aren't contracts and parent's aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats with you head held up high and your eyes ahead
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn
to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns if you get too much
so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flower.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn…– Veronica A. Shoffstall
Very poignant. Words people need to read and take solace in.

Eric P - The Camping Trip
Camping Chaos: A Hilarious Look at Epic Fails Under the Stars
We've all seen the idyllic camping commercials: families roasting marshmallows under a starlit sky, tents pitched perfectly, and campfires crackling merrily. But let's be honest, camping trips are rarely that smooth. They're a messy, unpredictable adventure filled with potential for hilarious mishaps.
This is where the magic of "Camping Trip Funny Videos" comes in. These online gems capture the chaotic charm of camping, turning those inevitable blunders into side-splitting moments.
What Makes Them Tickle Our Funny Bone?
The Struggle is Real: We've all been there – wrestling with a tangled mess of tent poles, battling with a stubborn camp stove, or tripping over a rogue tree root. Seeing others experience these struggles (and maybe even fail spectacularly) brings a sense of schadenfreude (harmless amusement at someone else's misfortune) and reminds us that we're not alone in our outdoor fumbling.
Animal Antics: Let's face it, animals are hilarious, especially when they decide to crash your camping party. A raccoon stealing your snacks, a squirrel getting tangled in your laundry line, or a curious bear inspecting your (hopefully empty) cooler – these unexpected encounters provide endless entertainment.
Expectation vs. Reality: Remember that perfectly assembled camp kitchen from the brochure? Yeah, these videos show the hilarious reality – burnt hotdogs, spilled beans, and a frantic search for a forgotten spatula.
So next time your camping trip doesn't quite go according to plan, don't despair! Embrace the chaos, capture those funny moments on video, and share the laughter with the world. After all, sometimes the best camping stories are the ones that make you snort milk out of your nose.
This is Eric talking about a recent camping trip to America with his friend.
Eric's friend runs into a little trouble during the trip which leaves him scarred for life as he has bear trouble.

By Paul Craig Roberts:
I popped the champagne cork to celebrate the Egyptian people's success in driving out of office the American puppet, Hosni Mubarak. However, as I wrote on February 1, Mubarak's departure doesn't guarantee that his successor will not find himself wearing the same American harness. As Gerald Celente puts it, "Meet the new boss, same as old boss."
It remains to be seen how much of a revolution has occurred. Marx and Lenin would be put off by the idealistic jubilation over a spontaneous revolution that caused Mubarak to resign after a couple of weeks of protests. Marx and Lenin would say that nothing has changed. The materialist basis of the old order is still in place: the elites, the police, the army, the bureaucracy, the U.S. Embassy. Moreover, no vanguard has appeared to lead the revolution to completeness. Marx and Lenin would heap scorn on the prevalent idea that the material interests of the old ruling order, which is still in place, have been brought in line with the material interests of the Egyptian people.
Marx and Lenin, and their disciple Pol Pot, believed that no revolution could succeed that did not destroy all representatives of the old order. The effective force in history, Marx and Lenin said, was violence. The Bolsheviks murdered every member of the Czar's family in order to obliterate any hope that the old order could be reinstated.
How many revolutions have succeeded without violence? Even the American Revolution was violent, and not merely against King George. Colonists who thought of themselves as British and remained loyal to England were dispossessed and had to flee to Canada. Although not Marxists, the American revolutionaries were unforgiving.
Perhaps what we have witnessed in Egypt is just the opening stage. If Egyptians find out that not much has changed, they will erupt again in a more decisive manner, this time under focused leaders. If this revolution is put down, the next development could be civil war, leading on to Celente's prediction of regional wars developing into the first "great war" of the 21st century.
The elites are greatly outnumbered, and in every country the elites have monopolized resources and opportunities and possess more wealth and income than they know what to do with. The few armed with vast wealth are unlikely to prevail against the many armed with vast anger.
Still, too much should not be given to Marx and Lenin. Material interests are important, but they are not all. There is good and evil in the human breast. People can change their minds The Soviet Empire was not overthrown by a revolution. It collapsed because the ruling class, the communists themselves, changed their minds, acknowledged the wrongness of their system, and let go of it.
Perhaps this will happen in Egypt and elsewhere.

Today I will discuss how a company can sustain a lean culture once they have implemented lean practices in order to achieve continuous improvement. Your company has started the lean journey, but how do you sustain it? I use a method I call managing for daily improvement or MDI. Let's first talk about first setting the stage, then give you practical practices and tactics to achieve a sustainable lean culture, and then provide core key performance indicators (KPIs) to track your progress. As a lean professional for many decades, let me be your guide to not only implementing lean, but truly creating an adoption of lean and a lean culture.
How can we Continuously Improve Daily and Sustain a Lean Culture and Behavior?
First and foremost, look to your people, the best resource you have. These people touch every part of daily operations through a process called managing by DAILY improvement (MDI). When a Lean culture is truly developed in a company, and old behavior, habits, and ways of working are modified, people become process improvement and problem solvers.These people/teams believe that there is always a better way to do anything.
The focus is to eliminate all wastes in the organization, improve processes, solve root cause problems, create a pull environment, and ensure that Lean Six Sigma (LSS) works for quality and daily problem solving using DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) and PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, and Act).
Why are we doing this? The focus is to bring value to the customer, beyond the customers' expectations. How do we monitor what our customers feel about us? What are our pros/cons? You use a Voice of the Customer (VoC) survey to obtain negatives and positives from your customers. You should also use the Voice of your Employees (VoE) to ask your teams what can be done to improve your operations: both your external and internal customers. Use Pareto's 80/20 principle to prioritize both negative and positive feedback from your customers and employees and continuously improve daily based on this data.
Visual management and KPIs are a necessity in Managing for Daily Improvement for people on the shop floor. Don't you feel individuals want to do well? Instead of the typical top-down approach, MDI fosters bottom-up, continuous, daily processing change. People then share experiences with each other in daily cross-functional Lean teams.
These teams and people meet daily in a "huddle" to discuss previous day goals and actual results. These teams can identify the root causes that created missing reaching their goals and determine a time frame for completion. Then, the team assigns responsibility for the action required to reach the desired solution. All activities are documented by a team recorder. MDI allows for those challenges that cannot be quickly resolved to be escalated. Leadership then commits to solve this problem. This increases employee morale.

FDA Drug Safety Communication: Updated information on drug interactions between Victrelis (boceprevir) and certain boosted HIV protease inhibitor drugs
Safety Announcement
[4-26-2012] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is notifying the public that co-administration of Victrelis (boceprevir), a hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitor, along with certain ritonavir-boosted human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors, is not recommended at this time because of the possibility of reducing the effectiveness of the medicines, permitting the amount of HCV or HIV virus in the blood (viral load) to increase. Ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors include ritonavir-boosted Reyataz (atazanavir), ritonavir-boosted Prezista (darunavir), and Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir).
Patients should not stop taking any of their hepatitis C or HIV medicines without talking to their healthcare professional. Patients should contact their healthcare professional with any questions or concerns.
Healthcare professionals who started patients infected with both chronic HCV and HIV on Victrelis while the patient was taking antiretroviral therapy containing one of these ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors should closely monitor patients for treatment response (no HCV virus detected in the blood) and for potential HCV or HIV virologic rebound (HCV or HIV virus is detected in the blood again after becoming undetectable).
Ritonavir is an HIV protease inhibitor that is taken as a small dose along with other HIV protease inhibitors in order to increase their levels in the blood and make them more effective. This is known as ritonavir boosting.
In February 2012, FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication (DSC) regarding a drug-drug interaction study, which showed that taking Victrelis while taking any one of the three ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors could reduce the desired blood levels of both medicines. Because lower blood levels could lead to less effective treatment of HCV and HIV infections, FDA recommended that healthcare professionals closely monitor the treatment response of patients who might be taking these drug combinations.
There is limited information on the effectiveness of Victrelis and ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors when they are used together in patients co-infected with HIV and HCV. A small clinical trial measured treatment outcomes of HIV-HCV co-infected patients whose HCV infection was treated with either peginterferon/ribavirin or boceprivir plus peginterferon/ribavirin and whose HIV infection was treated with ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, ritonavir-boosted darunavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, or raltegravir (Isentress). Persons who received boceprevir plus peginterferon/ribavirin were more likely to have undetectable HCV viral loads 12 weeks after completing HCV treatment than individuals who received peginterferon/ribavirin alone. Overall, seven patients had HIV virologic rebound, 3/64 randomized to receive boceprevir with peginterferon/ribavirin and 4/34 randomized to peginterferon/ribavirin alone. Preliminary results of this clinical trial were presented at the 19th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections on March 6, 2012. The clinical trial abstract is available here.
In light of both the findings of the drug-drug interaction study and the clinical trial, FDA has revised the Victrelis drug label to state that co-administration of Victrelis with ritonavir-boosted Reyataz (atazanavir), ritonavir-boosted Prezista (darunavir), or Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) to patients infected with both chronic HCV and HIV is not recommended at this time.
FDA is aware that a larger clinical trial is planned that will evaluate HCV treatment with boceprevir and peginterferon/ribavirin in patients infected with both HCV and HIV who are also receiving HIV antiretroviral therapy containing ritonavir-boosted HIV protease inhibitors. FDA will communicate any important new information about co-administration of these drugs in co-infected patients when it becomes available.

Wild by Sophie Jordan
"A good girl goes fabulously bad in the final book in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan's sexy New Adult romance series, in which three Ivy League suite-mates seek higher knowledge of just how far they can go.
Months after her boyfriend dumped her, Georgia can still hear the insults he hurled at her. Boring. Predictable. Tame. Tired of feeling bad, she's ready to change her image, and go a little wild. What better way to prove her ex wrong than a hot night of sexual adventure at the secret campus kink club?
In the shadowy den of the kink club, she unexpectedly runs into Logan Mulvaney, her friend's little brother. A player extraordinaire too hot for his own good, he may be younger, but the guy is light years ahead when it comes to sexual experience. Now he's telling her to go home—"good girls" don't belong here!
Georgia is tired of having others define her. She's going to teach Logan a lesson he won't forget—one white hot, mind-wrecking kiss . . . that leads to another . . . and another . . . and. . . . Realizing she's way in over her head, Georgia runs.
Only Logan won't let her go. Everywhere she goes he's there, making her want every inch of him. Making her forget who she is. Who he is. And just how wrong they are for each other."- summary from publisher

Here's a small excerpt from Wild:
"I gotta go," I said hurriedly, turning to walk around the Jeep, ready to climb in the backseat, not even caring how obvious I was in trying to put distance between us by unnecessarily circling around the vehicle.
I felt him move behind me before I felt his hands on my arms. "No, you don't," he growled. "You don't get to run away again."
I squeaked as he hauled me back against his chest. My spine stiffened iron-rod straight against the wall of his broad chest. I felt my eyes go huge in my face. He was touching me. Again.And I was freaking out on the inside. I sucked in a deep breath, determined that my freak-out stayed internal only.
"Let me go. They're coming." My heart hammered violently in my chest and I didn't know if it was because we were about to get busted by my friends or because his body felt so unbelievable against mine. Okay, fine. It was both.
His mouth brushed my ear as he spoke, spiking sensation to every nerve in my body. "Are you embarrassed, Georgia? You don't want them to see me with you? Don't want Pepper and Reece to know about us?"
"There is no 'us.' "
"Oh, but there will be. We both know why you came tonight." His fingers flexed, each digit a burning imprint on my forearms.
"Yeah?" Was that breathy croak my voice? "Why?"
"Because you haven't been able to forget what it felt like to kiss me, and you want to know if the rest of it will be that good, too." He bit down on my earlobe and a whimper escaped my lips. "It will be."
An invisible band squeezed around my chest. I swallowed against my constricting throat. "Arrogant much?"
"It's okay. I haven't been able to forget either. I can still remember the way you taste."
Oh. My. God.
I swallowed a moan and lurched free from him. Swinging around, I faced him and felt my knees go weak at the look in his eyes. Heavy-lidded and deep, his blue eyes looked almost indigo as they stared down at me.
"I know you probably think it'd be some great joke to bang one of your brother's friends, but I'm not going to be another notch on your bedpost . . . some girl you screw once and forget about the next—"
He moved fast then, closing the space that I had established between us. Oh, yeah. He was a jock with ninja-fast reflexes. I needed to remember that.
I gasped as his hand slid around my neck, fingers burying in the hair at the base of my scalp. He lowered his head, dropping his forehead against mine until our breaths clashed and mingled. His fingers pressed and massaged the back of my head, shooting sensation straight to the core of me. Holy hell. Was that some kind of secret pressure point?
His words gusted over my mouth. "You think we'd fuck just once?"
My stomach plummeted at his blunt words.
He took my hand and dragged it between us, pressing my palm to his crotch—against the outline of his cock in his tight baseball pants. It hardened, growing beneath my touch and I felt an answering ache clench between my thighs. God, it had been so long.
"This doesn't feel like a joke to me. You don't," he growled in a tight voice. "I want to do things to you . . . things a clean, vanilla girl like you never dreamed of. Things that tool boyfriend of yours never came close to doing to you."
"Ex-boyfriend," I replied automatically.
At my response, Logan pushed my palm harder against him, rubbing the hard ridge of him. A tiny moan escaped me as the ache squeezed between my legs.
He angled his head. "I think you want me to do dirty things to you, Georgia."

"Why use a cannon to kill a mosquito?"
The wisdom of this Japanese proverb unveils the truth about advertising in traditional media such as TV, radio, newspapers and direct mail.
They usually quote their ad rates by CPM or "Cost per Thousand" people, to make the cost easier to digest. What they're not telling you however is the cost to reach 1000 customer prospects for your business is actually much higher because only a percentage of their audience (often a small percentage) are qualified prospects. These outlets rely on vague demographics in hopes of reaching a specific group of people, but the targeting is often quite limited. Show us a group of 1000 "18 to 34 year-old males" in your city and we'll show you 1000 different consumers!
Would you advertise retirement packages to teens, or veterinary services to consumers without pets?
It used to be you had to pay to hit tens of thousands of unqualified prospects to meet your advertising goals because there was no alternative. Like the cannon used to kill a mosquito, a lot of firepower (your advertising budget) was wasted.
With the Internet that's all changed.
Search engine marketing has become the most cost-effective way to reach your customers and offers unprecedented targeting capabilities.
At WSI we use unique tools and business processes, combined with techniques like Web ads, Search Engine Optimization, Guaranteed Inclusion advertising, among others, to ensure your business attracts the highest volume of targeted Web traffic possible.
One of our specialties, Pay-Per-Click advertising which is the leading form of search engine advertising, is the equivalent of a customer-seeking smart bomb. PPC allows you to reach consumers when they are actively searching for your products or services, sending qualified buyers straight to your business.
This is achieved by bidding on specific search terms, or keywords, people use to find things online (your city flowers, tubular steel, women's shoes, your country molded plastics supply, just to name a few of the countless possible terms a business can bid on). Your ad will show whenever your search terms are used. When a consumer clicks on your ad, you pay the nominal fee you bid on for that search term.
PPC (also known as Pay for Performance advertising), allows for complete control of your costs because you only pay when your ad is clicked on. If your ad is displayed 1000 times and one person clicks on it, you only pay for one click!
Your WSI Internet Consultant will research the keywords for your business that will deliver the most qualified visitor traffic to your website, as well as manage every aspect of your campaign. We'll also show you how to improve your website's conversion rate to turn more of your web site visitors into buyers.

Gaza will no longer be "liveable" by 2020 unless urgent action is taken to improve water supply, power, health, and schooling, the United Nations' most comprehensive report on the Palestinian enclave said on Monday.
"Action needs to be taken now if Gaza is to be a liveable place in 2020 and it is already difficult now," UN humanitarian coordinator Maxwell Gaylard told journalists when the report was released on Monday.
Five years into an Israeli blockade supported by Egypt, and living under one-party rule, Gaza's population of 1.6 million is set to rise by 500,000 over the next eight years, say the authors of the UN's most wide-ranging report on the territory.
Gaza has one the youngest populations in the world, with 51 percent of people under the age of 18.
"Action needs to be taken right now on fundamental aspects of life: water sanitation, electricity, education, health and other aspects," Gaylard said.
Since 2007, Gaza has been under the control of the Islamist Hamas organization, an armed political movement which rejects permanent peace with Israel. They fought a three-week war in January 2009, and Israel is resisting international pressure to lift its blockade, which it says prevents arms reaching Hamas.
Gaza has no airport and no sea port. The border is tense, with frequent clashes over rocket or mortar fire from Gaza and air strikes by Israel. Gaza rockets hit Israeli land on Sunday, damaging a factory in the town of Sderot, east of the enclave.
Israel partly eased restrictions in mid-2010, and Gaza's crippled economy began to revive from rock bottom. Real GDP is estimated to have risen by 28 percent in the first half of 2011 as unemployment fell to 28 percent in 2011 from 37 percent.
But the report, involving expertise from more UN agencies and making projections further into the future than before, said growth over the next eight years would be slow, since Gaza's current isolation renders its economy essentially non-viable.
Reconstruction but no peace
The people in the narrow coastal strip live mainly on UN aid, foreign funding and a tunnel economy which brings in food, construction materials, electronics and cars from Egypt.
But the smuggling trade is no solution. Robert Turner, director of operations of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency , said Gaza by 2020 will need 440 more schools, 800 more hospital beds and over a 1,000 additional doctors.
Gaylard called on international donors to increase their aid to a population which is 80 percent aid dependent.
"Despite their best efforts the Palestinians in Gaza still need help," he said. "They are under blockade. They are under occupation and they need our help both politically and practically on the ground."
Israel in fact withdrew from Gaza in 2005, removing troops and settlers after 38 years of occupation.
A lack of clean drinking water is the greatest immediate concern, said Jean Gough of the UNICEF. The report projects a 60 percent increase in the enclave's water needs, while urgent action is already needed to protect existing water resources.
By 2016, Gaza's aquifer may become unusable, she said. Palestinians are already drilling deeper and deeper to reach groundwater and there is a need for more desalination plants. A seawater plant costing about $350 million is planned.
The UN says only a quarter of Gaza waste water is treated. The rest, including raw sewage, goes into the Mediterranean Sea.
Gaylard said Gaza needs peace and security to improve the lives of its people. "It will certainly have to mean the end of blockade, the end of isolation and the end of conflict."
There is as yet no sign of an end to the conflict between Hamas and Israel. The Islamist movement is shunned by the West as a terror organization and there is no prospect of diplomatic contacts leading to peace talks as long as Hamas rejects Israel's right to exist.
Analysts say much may depend on the future of relations with the new Egypt, whose Islamist leaders are sympathetic to Hamas but also committed to the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. Hamas is also supported by Iran, which is extremely hostile to Israel.
Aside from its tunnel network, Gaza imports via Israel. UN figures show, for example, that 46,500 tonnes of building materials came into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing from Israel in September 2011, while 90,000 tonnes came via the tunnels.
It also gets electricity and fuel from Israel.
Rebuilding homes and factories smashed in the winter war of 2009 is Gaza's biggest task, and construction is the source of most of its growth in employment in the past two years.

With its simple and efficient approach to special and modified characters, the Unicode Standard defines a new degree of data portability between platforms and across borders. Software (especially modern, distributed systems) can be adapted for particular countries far more easily than when existing character sets are used. The Unicode Standard is code-for- code identical to the International Standard ISO/IEC 10646.
