I did it. I FINALLY did it! I got my very own Elf on a Shelf!
I really wanted one last year but kept putting it off. Not anymore. We adopted Twinkle from Hands Mall today.
My kids are SOOOOO excited! Truth be told, I'm SOOO excited!
I wonder how much mischief she will get into? Hey, does this mean I finally have someone to blame my mess on??
In other news, today also had a sad note. I posted last year about the magic of Christmas slowly fading away. Well, today was THAT day. The day when childhood dreams give way to reality. The day when fantasy becomes a thing of the past. The day I have been dreading.......
Austin no longer believes in Santa. :(
We have been inching around this subject for quite a while now. He has asked repeatedly if Santa was real. I always respond with "what do you think?". Then, depending on his answer, I go from there.
I think he may have stopped believing long before now if he didn't have "proof". He received Rudolph's autograph a few years back. That was the icing on the cake for him!
So when he asked tonight & I responded the same way I always do, for the first time, he said he didn't think Santa was real. I asked him why he thought that way. Very straight forward & with a lot of consideration, he informed me that Santa couldn't visit everyone in one day and reindeer can't fly.
I smiled with tears in my eyes & told him he was right. He was only a little sad and he promised to keep the magic alive for Makenzie & Logan as long as he could!
He's a trooper, that little boy who continually grows up on me no matter how hard I try to stop him!
The magic of Christmas isn't in a fat man in a red suit. It isn't in a sparkly tree. It isn't in more presents than you know what to do with. The real magic is in family, love, laughter, memories, & traditions.

Q: What's black and white and red all over?
A: Me, wearing my black t-shirt yesterday.
I'm on a brief vacation in Wilmington, Delaware along with my mom and dad and brother Joe. We're here to see my sister Rebecca and do a little sightseeing while we're at it. (Happily, the hotel offers free wireless Internet access.)
Yesterday, we traveled to Ocean City, New Jersey. It's kind of like Atlantic City if you removed all the alcohol…they're striving for a "family friendly" environment. We took a walk down the heavily-commercialized boardwalk, and I didn't realize that we would be traveling half the length of the city, so I didn't put on sunscreen. I'm now burned pretty heavily on my neck, face, feet, and the back of my right hand. The funny part is that the rest of my body is still a ghostly white because I put on sunscreen once we actually settled down on the beach. The ocean was cold but tolerable. Dad, Joe, and I got to play with three five-to-six-year-old boys on the beach, throwing frisbees, playing baseball, etc. One of them (named Jared) declared to me that I was his best friend. I'm sure that in a couple of days he'll forget I even existed.
Today, we drove over to Washington, D.C. to see the monuments and museums. This was the third time I'd been to D.C., so there wasn't a lot that I hadn't seen. However, there was one major highlight of our trip — we got to tour the White House grounds! Apparently, they'll hand out tickets for a self-guided tour about four times a year…and we showed up at the right place at the right time. So I've got loads of pictures of the White House and grounds.
I'm exhausted at this point. All this heat and sunlight and walking is wearing me out…fortunately, we're going to an evening service at Rebecca's church tomorrow, so I get to sleep in tomorrow morning. The only other item on the day's agenda is her graduation open house, and then we travel home on Monday. Personally, I find that just hanging out around town relaxes me a lot better than vacations, so I'm looking forward to a little rest this coming week.

About Us
Speech Language and Learning: Private Speech Pathology Practice
Speech Language and Learning is an independent private speech pathology practice, providing assessment and therapy for mainly children and adolescents. You can find us at Clayfield, in our rooms at Brandon Chambers, 2a/10 Vine Street and we also provide services at a number of Brisbane private schools (Anglican and Uniting Church) where we have been invited to consult.
Clients include children and adolescents who have a wide range of speech, language, voice, social communication, behavior, literacy and learning difficulties. We also assist adults with English pronunciation improvement, language and literacy support.
We have always worked within a multi-disciplinary family-based team framework and our team consultants, Sue, Angie and Sarah have worked within a range of hospital, educational and non-government organization settings in Australia and overseas to support clients, their parents/ families and other relevant team professionals. All consultants are members of Speech Pathology Australia and participate in the Professional Self-Regulation program for ongoing education and self-development.
The majority of our team has worked together for a number of years and our consultants have developed extensive experience in areas of speech sound development, language disorders, speech dyspraxia/ apraxia of speech, auditory processing, hearing impairment, developmental delays, cerebral palsy and autism. Our programs are evidence based where possible and based on traditional therapy that we know, from our experience achieves progression of skills. We endeavor to keep abreast of new Australian and international programs and diagnostic assessment techniques.
We have an interest in voluntary work and since 2006, Speech Language and Learning has been involved in supporting children and volunteers working in developing communities overseas, as an Australian Partner Organisation for Aus Aid in countries such as The Fiji Islands, Vanuatu, the Philippines, and Oman where Speech Pathology is relatively unknown but desperately needed.

I don't have a freebie today but I am in the mood to ramble. ROTFL!
Hubby is out tonight on business and the little munchkins were driving me so crazy today that I put them to bed early. The tube is on my favorite all time show 'John & Kate Plus 8' (reminds me my crazy, hectic life with multiples is normal) and I am having a nice glass of wine. Oh how I miss these quite nights.
I can't believe how much I am accomplishing having the house to myself. I wasn't sure what I wanted to offer next week until I remembered I have some CU Halloween templates I purchased from Cindy Ritter. I am trying (trying, trying, trying) to offer something every week, but with the twins, MoM's club commitments, trying to get more CU items in my store and upcoming collab time frames I am finding myself stretched a bit thin on my design time. Yikes!
This is where the templates come in. This is the first time I have every used templates to create pages and boy have I have been missing out. I can't believe I already have 3 brag book pages ready to go for next week and I am hoping to get a couple more done later this week so I can offer one daily next week. Woo Hoo! These things are a God send.
Speaking of our Heavenly Father (and his only begotten son), if you have a favorite scripture that pertains to Christmas and the birth of Jesus just let me know and I will create a word art to include in my Christmas kit for you to use. So far I have created word art for Luke 2:11 (For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord), Luke 2:14 (Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men!), John 1:14 (And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.) and John 1:29 (Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!).
I am using a KJV Bible that my hubby's grandmother had as a child because I have a NAB Bible (New Answer Catholic Bible) and the wording is a bit different and I think the KJV is more popular among Christians. So I guess, if you have a specific verse you would like to see, you may want to e-mail the verse text and not just the book name/verse number. Now, my word art is nowhere near the word art some of the other gals out there create, but hey, it's a start. Here is an example one of the word art I have already created.
Tomorrow I think I am going to offer my first commercial use freebie. This feels like such a big step for me. I am so excited (and a bit nervous) as well. I think I am going to offer one of the overlays from my Pumpkin Patch overlay set since we are still in that season. (Deep breath)
Thank you to all who took the time to listen to me ramble. Yeah, I am in need of a bit of adult conversation. You'll see this every once in a while if you haven't noticed it already. LOL!
Have a blessed day!

If you really love the idea of sharing your floating island with a thousand other people; if your idea of heaven is having 30 different restaurants to choose from each night; if island hopping bliss is another boardwalk of tourist shops, or if an active, healthy holiday to you means strolling along the deck while your meal goes down, then you'd better not bother reading any further!
Our epic sailing holidays in the Caribbean are full throttle, all action sailing adventures to remote anchorages and deserted beaches, and we won't be stopping at any cruise liner haunts on the way.
There's No Room For Large Groups
We only take a maximum of 6 guests on board (although Chico can sleep 8 comfortably). This means that you won't be able to share your adventure with hundreds of other passengers; there will be no mass coach tours to manufactured attractions; you won't be able to waste your time hunting for a place to be alone, nor will you make any new friends standing in the queue for the buffet. There's no swimming pool on board so you won't be able to swim in a chlorinated pool half filled with wee.
Instead, you'll spend time with a small group of people who share a common interest, who have a similar sense of adventure as you, and who are just as keen to avoid the mainstream tourist trail. You'll be as likely to make friends with the island locals as with people from your own culture, and there are endless places to find wide open space and beautiful views all to yourself. When you fancy a swim, you'll have to dive into the bluest waters and share your experience with a zillion fish and occasionally turtles.
There's No Choice of Restaurants On Board
We only have a small galley on board, so you won't be able to choose from a plethora of westernised restaurants each mealtime. Instead, you'll
help prepare the freshest local ingredients in a fusion of healthy cooking styles, from Thai to Italian & Moroccan; throw exclusive barbeques on deserted beaches and eat ashore in local restaurants from time to time. You might even catch your own fish for dinner, and learn how to clean it too!
No Lounging About
We will be island hopping, but you won't be able to laze about on a sun-lounger whilst we travel. You will be expected to pull some ropes, help with the sails, do some steering, and participate in the navigation. When we're night sailing, you may be left alone to steer Chico through the blackness under a carpet of stars and using the moon to light you; you might very well have a dolphin swimming alongside you while you steer, but if you're on watch, you won't be able to go to your bunk when you feel like it.
However, when we arrive somewhere, you will have time to catch some rays on deck, float around on the lilo, explore pristine reefs with a mask & snorkel, or just chill out with a Gin & Tonic watching the incredible Caribbean sunsets.
No Organised Tours
When we arrive somewhere, there won't be a tour bus waiting to whisk
you off; you'll decide which parts of the island you want to explore and we'll find a way of making it happen….with local help usually!
No Tacky Souvenirs
You won't go home with a suitcase load of tat from the tourist shops, but you will take back hundreds of amazing pictures and a whole heap of extra special memories that really will last a lifetime.
So if you have the stamina, ambition and energy to spend 10 days aboard, sailing in perfect trade winds on a proper world cruising boat.…you know what to do!
Click here for the lowdown on our amazing sailing holidays through the real Caribbean, and then contact us at Sail Chico to book your place. Don't miss the boat!

Scrappymags 3-word review: delicious Provençal delight!
Don't ask me why Julia Child's enigmatic voice resonated through my brain with a loud, gregarious "Bon Appetite!" as I read through this book, but it did. Perhaps it was the detailed descriptions of French food that had me salivating Pavlovian style (seriously slimed my Kindle). Whatever it was, I'd love a second helping. Aw hell, I'm Veruca Salt-ing this one – I want it all!
The story is told from two perspectives. One storyline follows Ondine (the grandmother of our story) during the time she cooked for the amazing Picasso (who, FYI? Kind of a d&^k!), while the second storyline follows modern-day Celine, Ondine's granddaughter, an American taking a French cooking class in France (from a very a-hole-like Gordon Ramsey-ish bloke) in place of her nursing-home ailing mom. Celine has no interest in cooking but rather seeking what inspired her mother to sign up for a cooking class at this elderly stage in the game. Each story is alternatively compelling, focusing on family issues of the time and in particular, the role of women. Each story twists and turns into unfathomable directions until meeting at a climactic, won't-let-you-down point.
Feminists beware! So Picasso, yeah… Total asshat – if you believe this book, and though it is historical fiction, I'm totally buying it. Yup ladies, Picasso earned a top degree in misogyny from the University of Douchebaggery. He treated women as illogical objects whose sole purpose was to please men and even alluded that women secretly like when men inflict pain (told you!). But along with this ignorance came a magnetic personality that people were drawn to, that spoke in his art. The true and only love of Picasso indeed WAS his art. While the feminist in me wanted to chuck my Kindle at the nearest male (hmm…new way to meet men?) I held tight and read on, remembering that we are all victims of our environment, and like it or not, there are many moronic misogynistic Picassos in this world (like Donald Trump, except Picasso was talented). I dealt with it and thus Picasso morphed into a bit of an anti-hero. The true greatness of the book lies in the family dynamic from Ondine, her daughter Julie, to granddaughter Celine.
My only deduction (I don't give lots of 5's) is that the plot was somewhat predictable.
Recommend to: chic lit fans, historical fiction fans (though it's more chic-lit-ish in places), fans of books that meld art and history (Me!).
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Ballantine for an ARC in exchange for this honest review and for showing me that Picasso was a jerk but dang he shore' could paint perrrrrty!

Mark tutored my twins throughout year 11 up to the GCSEs. Both children required different input and both were doing different exam boards. They had 45 minutes each by Skype using an interactive screen on their laptops once a week. Mark focused on exam paper practice questions and he was completely up to speed with the style of exam papers and approach to take. My kids thoroughly enjoyed their tutoring. George has just got a level 9 in Maths (A**) and the top grade 'A' in FSMQ (a further paper bridging to A level) and Eve who was predicted a 6 at most, secured a 7 (basically an A) which I am certain was down to Mark's input. Thank you, Melanie Armstrong, August 2018
Mark, our son came to you as he was embarking on his GCSE course and he was seriously lacking in confidence. However, you showed him lots of techniques, tools and confidence to improve greatly over the 2 years. He really enjoyed the Skype training too, as we do not live that close to you anymore! In fact, his confidence, knowledge and hard work gained him a Level 9 in his final GCSE result! Thank you so much for your time and patience and to say we are thrilled with his result is an understatement. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to others in the same situation. J.D. August 2018
Hi Mark, Anabel passed all her exams. She got a 6 in maths with 95/200, so 7 marks off a 7. Many thanks for all your help. Kathryn, August 2018
Good morning Mark, Lloyd got a B in maths and his first choice, Law at Newcastle. Many thanks for all your efforts. The work you did with him was important both in terms of aptitude and confidence. Many thanks, Ron Pundick, August 2018
Mark has been an excellent tutor over the course of the last six months. Mark was able to pinpoint the areas I most needed to work on whilst also teaching me a number of ways to check my answers and greatly speed up how long it took me to finish my papers. He was very friendly throughout and made me considerably more confident going into the exam season and I cannot thank him enough for helping me to attain the A star I needed to secure my place at University. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone, regardless of their level, he is sure to have a way to help all standards. Thanks again. Sam, August 2017
Mark I passed!!! I got a 4!! I'm so unbelievably happy I can't believe it! Thank you so much for all your help I definitely couldn't of done it without you!
Thank you so much!! Melissa, August 2017
Hey Mark,
I collected my degree at the weekend.
Thank you for all your help over the years.
There is no way I could have made it without your help.
I got a 2.1 in the end but was so close to a first. All the best, Darren
March 2017
Mark has been a fantastic tutor as he has helped me develop my mathematical problems solving skills; enabling me to achieve a grade A in my Mathematics GCSE and a B in my Further Mathematics GCSE. Moreover Mark has been very supportive as he clearly explains how to improve and how to overcome certain challenges. Mark is a genuinely nice guy and I would definitely recommend him! Thanks again for all your support, Jake W, September 2014.
I decided to re-sit my GCSE Maths as it was essential for my chosen course at university. I am currently in my second year at college and I could remember how maths hadn't been my easiest subject at school, where I achieved a C and so I felt a little nervous thinking about studying the subject again. I had only two months to study for the exam in November and so I had the feeling that it was probably unlikely I would get the grade I needed. However, when I began being tutored by Mark, once a week from September, I found that Maths was not so bad after all as he explained everything in an easy way and was very patient whenever I had difficulty grasping a mathematical concept. Also, he made me feel confident about the two exams that I was sitting. A couple of days ago was results day and I got the grade B I needed! I know that I would definitely not have achieved this grade if it wasn't for all of Mark's help and so I would certainly recommend him for anyone looking for a tutor. Thanks again Mark! Jake Connor, January 2014.
Mark has tutored me for as long as I can remember, and has been incredibly helpful across several stages of education.
I have found his help crucial in developing a confident base in Mathematics, clarifying school material at my own pace, and he has never failed to inspire further exploration of the subjects encountered. I am currently very happily studying Maths at Bath Uni and owe in large part the success and drive I have today to early work with Mark. Learning with Mark has always proved far more accessible than a classroom situation, his friendly and patient teaching style making sessions enjoyable and memorable. Most notably he has always seemed to invest in his students as much as possible, even now at uni still offering support through email for any concerns. I really couldn't recommend him more for anyone looking for a tutor :) (Thanks for all the help Mark!) Adam Lord, June 2013
Mark is an outstanding tutor! He is extremely patient and with his support, I was successful at GCSE and went on to study Maths at Advanced level. I am now a physics undergraduate at Sheffield University. Mark has the ability to explain very complex concepts in a simple way. I do not think I could have achieved what I have without Mark's help and encouragement. Ben Wilson, Ramsbottom, May 2013.
Hi Mark, I just thought I would let you know how I got on. I got my A in further maths, and thanks to all your help and support my highest score in all my maths papers was FP3 - I got 95/100! I just can't believe it and would just like to say thank you for everything you did, and your teaching style really helped me to understand the subject. The A in Further Maths allowed me to get into my first choice uni, which is LSE. So thank you again. All the best in the future, Greg, from Northwich.
Mark, Just a quick note to say how grateful we both are for the help, encouragement and very professional tuition you have given to Dominic over the last couple of years. He has achieved an "A" at GCSE, a grade we thought was unattainable two years ago. A very big THANK YOU for the way in which we have seen him grasp and understand the many mathematical concepts needed and the confidence you gave him to tackle the subject. You transformed his view of maths and his understanding and application has also helped greatly in achieving excellent grades in subjects such as science and business studies. Once again, many thanks - we would certainly recommend you as a tutor to anyone who wants to see their child achieve at the top level. Best wishes, John and Carolyn
I was in my last year of high school, my target grade for Maths was B. When I sat my mock exam in November 2007, I received a grade D and my confidence had gone. Mark began tutoring me once a week from December through to the exams in May and in the results last week I attained a B. Mark was an excellent one to one tutor, he gave me so much confidence and taught me many new easy to understand methods to problem solving. His teaching style really suited me, he would listen and show me where I was going wrong and then test me over and over to ensure I had remembered. Mark was really good at focussing on what I could achieve and how to get a B so we did not waste time on topics that would prove out of my range. Not only did Mark help me in my Maths but all in all he built up my confidence after not doing as well as I should have done in my mocks across all subjects. This helped me pass all 11 subjects entered at GCSE, all except 3 were at grade B or above. I would strongly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a GCSE maths tutor. Mike, Castlebrook High School, 2008

T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), Manipal Univerity's B-School concluded its annual fest Atharva by making Manipal run for a cause. The four day fest closed with a 4.1 km marathon. The marathon was conducted as a fund-raiser for the Academy Primary School Kannada, a government school where 108 students are receiving education. The event was kept open for all and people from all walks of life ran together on the warm Sunday evening.
Sports For Saving Right To Education
Cost of a ticket for the marathon was INR 50. TAPMI matched the amount collected by selling tickets and the donations received. Around 40,000Rs. were raised through the marathon and the money was donated to Academy Primary School. It will be used to improve the infrastructure of the school. At present, there are no fans or water-coolers in the school. Many other basic amenities are also missing.
To promote education in children from under-privileged families, it is necessary that the school is a place worth visiting for them. Through the marathon, not only will the 108 students already enrolled in the school benefit, it will also ensure more students enroll due to better infrastructure at the school.
"Such events promote a healthy lifestyle. It will also help so many children get better education. I ran with the hope of helping the kids and promoting healthy lifestyle,"
said K. Annamalai, superintendent of Police, Karkala region.
Winners Use Prize Money For Other Good Causes
The marathon was won by Kumar Shubham, a third year Civil Engineering student at the Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT). He clocked at 14″17. In the female section, Ganga Shinghal, second year Computer Science student of MIT won the marathon by finishing in 17″14.
Ganga, an animal lover, plans to use the 4,000Rs. prize money for helping stray dogs. Shubham was also considering using his prize money for a humanitarian cause. Sports Rediscovered wishes the winners all the best in pursuing a noble cause.

1. 7 funds available for Nigerian entrepreneurs in 2017
Even though experts generally agree that finance is not the biggest problem facing Nigerian entrepreneurs, many of them still believe that it still ranks among the first five.
Understanding the critical importance of funding to Nigerian business owners and entrepreneurs, Start-Up Digest, in its characteristic manner, has dug up some of the easy-to-get funds available in the country this year.
The general criterion for accessing these funds is the capacity to present a bankable and viable business plan. The entrepreneur should be clear on where he wants to be in the near future, and must also be able to describe the market for his or her products.

I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with love laughter and romance! 💗
Need a date? RORY is available to be with you on Valentine's Day!😊And if you get in quick you can still snag your copy of this steamy New Adult romance for 0.99 c/p or equivalent. Read on for an excerpt!
RORY ~ CODED FOR LOVE #1A chance encounter on the London Underground brings Sky Vaughn face to face with her stepbrother, Rory Rattigan, the guy she had a passionate teen crush on back home in Wales. Sky's vowed to stay out of trouble. She's already been thrown out of one college and she's desperate for a second chance to study art in London—but she never could resist sparring with Rory Rattigan.
Rory is trying to break with his computer hacker past. His sexy stepsister turns up just when he needs to hide his hacker kit, and she's more than willing to help him out. But Rory soon realizes the desire he's always had for Sky is going to complicate his plans to play life by the rules. He left home because he couldn't have her, and now here she is.
The chemistry between Rory and Sky is about to change their lives forever—because trouble and danger can't keep them apart, and they attract both, in spades.
"Come on," Sky whispered, once the door clicked shut behind them. Thrilled to bits, she congratulated herself. Rory was quickly learning she wasn't 'kiddo' any more. The hallway light flickered on. They had ninety seconds to get up the stairs to her door before it went off again. "My apartment is up one flight."
Rory stopped where he was and shook his head. "I'll escort you to the door, you give me my kit, end of."
"Wait, what? You're setting out rules for how this will proceed?"
His eyes glittered in the faint hallway light. "Yes, because you want me."
Instantly annoyed by his self confidence, she faked a laugh. "And you look horny as hell, what's your problem?"
He locked one hand around her wrist, and stared down into her eyes. His hand was strong and he held her wrist tightly. It felt good, it felt right. She wanted more.
She used the opportunity to snatch her keys back off him, and toyed with them in her free hand, rattling them under his chin while giving him a come-on look. "Let's get cozy."
His eyes narrowed. "I'm not going to fuck you, Sky."
Shocked by his blatant words, she stared at him.
"You know why I came here," he stated. "Now give me my kit."
"You say you're not going to fuck me, but you're clearly thinking about sex."
"No, you are." His eyes blazed at her.
His knowing look annoyed her immensely and she reacted—pushing him with the flat of her hands. It was an instinctive action, but the way he flashed his eyes at her made her realize what she'd done. Her hands were on his chest and she was up against him, while he had his back against the wall, starting at her accusingly.
She tried to drag her hands from the sleek tautness of his chest muscles under the tight T-shirt he wore. She itched to pull up the T-shirt and stroke his hard body. An ache in the pit of her belly was demanding attention. Pressing closer, she felt his hard thigh against her hip. She rested her free hand on his belt buckle.
Groaning, he shook his head. "Don't start something you can't finish."
"What makes you think I can't... finish it?" Rolling her hips against him, she hoped it sounded like she was in control of herself. She meant it to.
There was a determined set to his mouth, like he was fighting some inner battle. "You're being a prick tease, lay off."
Withdrawing her hand, she cursed under her breath, annoyed. He was saying no, and the heat of her desire threatened to make her beg. She couldn't let him know he affected her that way, not if he was going to get her all hot and bothered then bail out. She began to turn away from him, moving toward the stairs.
He reached out and grabbed her wrist, holding her. "Sky." His tone was commanding. "I didn't mean it as an insult. I know it probably sounded that way."
"Whatever." She tried to tug her hand from his grasp, but he held tight.
His sharp masculine scent was already chasing itself inside her body, seducing her even more. She gave a dismissive laugh. "You obviously don't realize I'm a fully grown woman now, one who can decide to invite a guy in... if she wants to"
She liked the way he tethered her to him by the wrist.
His eyes were shining, his expression intense. Anticipation raced in her veins. Her pulse ticked faster. The way he looked at her totally thrilled her.
The light went clicked off on its timer and they were plunged into gloom. "Oh bloody hell! Don't worry I can find my way in the dark."
He didn't reply. Instead he moved closer still, traced his free hand up the line of her arm, and wrapped his fingers around the back of her neck.
Her head fell back, her pulse raced. When he stroked her underneath her hair, heat blossomed on her skin beneath his fingertips. The powerful tug between them magnified in the gloom.
"You used to drive me up the wall," he whispered, against her ear, his voice husky. "You didn't realize you were playing with fire."
"What makes you think I'm playing now?" She could feel her nipples tightening, tugging on the tight fabric of her dress.
Rory groaned and backed her up against the opposite wall. Their bodies ricocheted together. Before she knew what was happening, his mouth covered hers.
Shock hit her, like a jolt of electricity, powering her for action.
She matched up to him, inviting him in for more. His hands were on her hips, hers were against his chest, the keys still clutched there between them. She pressed full against him—desperate to feel his every ounce of being against hers. She stroked her free hand over his chest and abdomen, where the muscle was strong and defined. The musky scent of his cologne and his skin took hold of her, like another hook on her desire, reeling her in...

15 thoughts on "Anybody try Indian Cuisine on Beech and Georgia?"
I have a small child so my hubby and I wanted to try it so we called to do takeout and as the guy is preparing to take my order I'm assuming the manager or owner told him no they were too busy to deliver. So we tried again at ordering another day during a walk and we stood on a mini line at the door and couldn't get service. So I guess it's good for them that they are busy but in order to accommodate all customers they should work on service. I'm a tad turned off but willing to try a third time.
I went last Saturday evening, and had some of the best Indian food outside of India (where I travelled to last year!)
Service was a bit spotty but they were only open a few days and it was really busy but they were incredibly friendly and the quality of the food made up for the short wait. The menu says delivery up to 2 miles so I was concerned that didn't go as far as Shore Road, but they said they'll deliver to Lido.
This is an excellent addition to Long Beach Restaurants and I will definitely be returning ( a lot).
The owner has another Indian restaurant in Baldwin that I frequent as it is pretty darn good food (and where I have never had a problem with service). The LB location is just as good based on the one time I've gone in. I'm sure they're still working out the kinks. And I'm glad it seems they have been kept busy since opening.
Look at it this way- by not serving/ delivery they were able to focus on the customers there. It is worth the loss in sales to not spread the kitchen or staff thin. As a former restaurant worker who wore every hat from cooking to management, I have seen too many owners trying to squeeze people /orders in when the kitchen or staff is already overwhelmed…only to have everything either crash or quality reduced. By not delivering or seating someone they are actually showing they want to do right by their customers.
At least that is what I am guessing the situation was by your posting and for that, I definitely look forward to going there knowing they actually give a shit. Cool.
An particular dish recommendations from anyones who has been?
Great point…however there are more professional or service geared ways to deal with that…simply saying no…Instead of starting to take an order and then say "no delivery" or having a line of people waiting to place an order at the door. I respect maintaining the dining room but to keep a good business reputation and maintain future customers it makes more sense to not offer takeout when it's busy or at all until you get a handle on the flow of your customers. With that said I understand things happen and we will still try it out when we have a sitter.
I lived in Hicksville for a few years and was spoiled by the dozens of Indian restaurants in that area. I tried this place out, and although it is a step below what I'm used to (in terms of authenticity), it was still worth going to again.
The saag paneer was good, but next time I will order it a little spicier (I ordered mild and it didn't have any spiciness at all). The vegetable samosas were delicious!!!
Being a vegetarian, it's nice to have a place like this around that provides lots of options on the menu.

The previous generation Acura RDX was a moderately successful contender in the small crossover SUV (XSUV) wars. The RDX was a bit pricey – almost $33,000 – coming from a premium Japanese brand. It was heavy. It was powered by a very thirsty turbocharged 2.3L 4-cylinder engine. Competition had left the RDX behind and with its source vehicle – the Honda CR-V – being updated for 2012, 2013 is the obvious time to re-do the RDX.
Honda is expecting sales on the order of 30,000 units per year for the new RDX. This is not an unreasonable number for a product selling in one of the growth segments in the American car and light truck market. In fact, this sales volume seems a bit timid for a brand forecasting a 45% increase in sales for the 2012 calendar year.

I agree with you. Research can be daunting too. Oftentimes, I find myself spending more time reading than writing. It's hard to suppose and organize thoughts based on researched supplies.

The forces driving gynocentrism had been adaptive in our evolutionary previous, but have turn out to be maladaptive during the last one hundred or so years and can have major damaging social and economic penalties for society, if it is not corrected. It is gynocentrism which is behind the gender empathy hole We are also extra more likely to body males as dangerous and ladies nearly as good, due to the gynocentric dynamic. This partly explains the sentencing hole that I cited within the earlier rebuttal, where female criminals are handled more leniently than male criminals for committing the same crimes.

Glasgow Prestwick Watsons Ayr Park reviews
We strongly encourage our customers to give feedback and share their experience of parking at Prestwick. If you have used Glasgow Prestwick Watsons Ayr Park and would like to tell others about it, please submit your review. Thank you!Write a Review
Here are some comments that our customers have made about Glasgow Prestwick Watsons Ayr Park
Great system - slick, no problems. Could do with a few more signs in Monkton and the directions from the A78 are a bit weird. Much easier to turn right at the Dutchhouse r'about then first left in Monkton.
October 11, 2007
We returned last night from Dublin & the coach was waiting for us.Pretty good.
We have used Watsons often but this time it was all change.Gone were the fellows who parked your car & the cosy wait in the portacabin while checking in.Now.all done rather differently from your vehicle.Shame,rather enjoyed the wee chats with the blokes!
But the biggest change is the long hike from the main Ayr road over to the check in desk.And it is even worse on return,the walk high over the same road.I know there have been terrorist attacks recently,but wonder if it could be possible to have some sort of return to the original drop off/pick up points?After all,Watsons is a well known company,surely all staff are well vetted?Or do we passengers have to find another,more handy,parking space?That would be a shame,as Watsons is handy when coming from the Glasgow area.
October 10, 2007
Very good value for that price, very good service!
I'm pleased to leave good feedback.
October 8, 2007
Excellent service, easy to find and only a short bus ride from the airport. The bus driver was cheery and most helpful.
October 8, 2007
Just to let you know that our experience with Watson's Ayr Park was a very good one. Directions were easy to follow, service was friendly at reception, our driver was very courteous and even lifted our heavy bags onto the bus without hesitation. On our return we were taken by the bus right back to where our car was parked. We will certainly use Watson's again!
October 8, 2007
Friendly staff and good travel service. Would definately use again

Over the years i have used many car parks at different airports and I have to say I found using Watsons at Prestwick was hassle free. Found it no problem,hard stand parking and wide bays for your car (no knocking doors together or puddles to get your feet wet in)Service to and from the terminal was excellant with helpful drivers
October 5, 2007
Has changed since last used it. Now more impersonal and no different from other option at airport which charges less.
October 4, 2007
Watson's Ayr Park provided great value and a straightforward, courteous, and hassle-free service.
October 2, 2007
Format has changed since this Spring, with customers parking their own car in a designated space, and taking keys with them. This is fine, but I wonder what happens if there is a problem with one of the vehicles (badly parked, alarm problems, etc) and they don't have keys to access it?
One potential problem - no responsibilty of Watsons, but increased security means that set-down and pick-up points at the airport are now some distance away from the main terminal, which could be difficult in bad weather. On the way home, the escalators were out of order, which meant lugging heavy cases up and down two flights of steep stairs, to get to bus stop. Could be a real problem for elderly or less-able customers.
Directly in front of the terminal there is an area, well-separated behind heavy bollards, which is currently used as a car park, and we could see no reason why Watson's vehicles could not be allowed to use this area for set-down and pick-up, after security screening.

Very pleased with price, service, transfer arrangements and staff. Thank you
September 28, 2007
A well organised car park with swift and frequent shuttle transfer system. Everything went like clockwork going out and coming back.
This is not Watsons fault, but the airport pick up point is now some distance from the terminal building and some people might struggle with thier baggage.
September 26, 2007
one of the besr airparks i have every used in the UK. smooth operation and friendly
September 25, 2007
I felt the cars were parked a bit close together. We waited a good wee bit in the rain for the bus to pick us up again from a bus stop outside and across the road from the airport. Overall - room for improvement.
September 24, 2007
Watson's is close to the airport and the shuttle service is reliable. This is the second occasion I have used this option and it is very straightforward. Directions are easy from Glasgow and I have no complaints about the service provided.
September 24, 2007
Excellent all round. very pleasant staff and very well organised.
September 24, 2007
Easy to find, great connections to motorways, very good system for parking, transfer to airport very good, felt secure, staff cheerful and helpful - the only negative is the problem with not parking at the entrance of the airport terminal - departing was easier than arriving - on arrival from the flight the way to the bus stop is long and is there is no adequate signage when you arrive at the end of the overhead bridge and into the railway station - you have to struggle through doors onto the railway platform and then out of the station to the bus. I'm sure that this will change when proper security is achieved at airports in general.
Overall the best that I've used.
September 17, 2007
Excellent service,ideal location and speedy transfers. Would highly recommend
September 10, 2007
Not bad all in all, however ask where you will be picked up on the return journey as the driver does not offer you this information and things got a bit farcical to say the least.
September 10, 2007
This was the first time I had used Prestwick Airport and I found Watson's Parking to be very convenient and good value. The parking is only minutes from the airport and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Good level of security and you get to park your own car, and retain the keys (no joyriding !)
Excellent service and will definitely use again.

The Staying Power of GHG Regulation
Amid lots of external clamor and debate, the Obama Administration has consistently acted to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, often using its regulatory powers to do so. Although each major effort has been, and continues to be, debated in Congress and fought in the courts, the executive branch has racked up a growing list of accomplishments that will commit the country to reducing GHG emissions for decades to come, long after President Obama has written his memoirs and dedicated his Presidential library. Here are a few of the most significant regulatory actions:
Endangerment Finding. Issued in December 2009, this EPA finding opened the legal door for regulating tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide from motor vehicles.
Tailpipe Rule. Issued in May 2010, this rule issued jointly by EPA and NHTSA set GHG tailpipe standards for cars and light trucks for model years through 2016. In October 2012, the Administration extended the standards to model years 2017-2025. The Administration issued the first GHG standards for heavy-duty engines and vehicles in September 2011 for model years 2014-2018, and in July 2015 proposed requirements through model year 2027.
Social Cost of Carbon. The SCC is an inter-agency estimate of the external cost of GHG emissions. (External means that market prices do not account for the cost of social damage attributed to GHG emissions.) This estimate, first issued in 2010 and revised in May 2013, November 2013, and July 2015, has been and continues to be used to justify new regulations to reduce GHG emissions.
GHG Permitting. The tailpipe rule triggered GHG permitting for entities (e.g., manufacturers) subject to PSD and Title V permitting under the Clean Air Act. EPA issued the so-called tailoring rule (and guidance) in 2010, which limited the permit requirements to the largest emitting entities, starting in 2011.
Clean Power Plan. In October 2015, EPA finalized rules to set GHG emission standards for new and existing coal- and gas-fired power plants, on a state-by-state basis, through 2030. This rulemaking is the centerpiece of President Obama's Climate Action Plan, announced in June 2013.
High GWP Gases (HFCs and methane). The President's Climate Action Plan also promised action to reduce certain gases posing a high global warming potential (GWP), namely hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and methane. On July 20, 2015, EPA issued a final rule prohibiting certain HFCs used in automobile air conditioners, commercial refrigeration systems, and building insulation products. On November 9, 2015, EPA proposed HFC restrictions for new refrigerant management programs. With respect to methane emissions, which have been trending downward in recent years, EPA proposed New Source Performance Standards on September 18, 2015 to reduce methane leaks from the oil and natural gas sectors.
Appliance Standards. In the first term, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued minimum energy efficiency standards for residential refrigerators, residential clothes washers, water heaters, and fluorescent light bulbs. So far in the second term, DOE has issued final standards for electric motors; furnace fans; external power supplies; distribution transformers; commercial clothes washers; commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and water heating equipment; direct heating equipment and pool heaters; general service fluorescent lamps and incandescent reflector lamps; automatic commercial ice makers; fluorescent lamp ballasts; walk-in coolers and freezers; packaged terminal air conditioners and packaged terminal heat pumps; ovens; ASHRAE; beverage vending machines; dehumidifiers; grid-enabled water heaters; external power supplies; and single-packaged air conditioners and pumps.
These (so far) successful efforts have been met by a substantial amount of opposition from the business community, historically resistant to regulation that increases operating cost. Reflexive opposition to carbon regulation is not advisable for companies committed to sustainability. Their focus ought to be on the appropriate role of market forces—and regulation—in reducing GHG emissions over the long term.
For many of these companies, the ideal approach (Plan A) is international agreement by all major-emitting countries to reduce GHG emissions in the atmosphere to a sustainable level, followed by or including the use of market mechanisms (carbon tax or cap and trade) at the national or regional level to achieve the desired emissions reduction most cost-effectively.
This was the approach the Obama Administration first tried—but it failed to garner sufficient political support. The Administration's subsequent efforts—using the Clean Air Act and other legal authorities—represent Plan B, all the while holding out hope for an international agreement at some point in the future (perhaps starting with the upcoming international summit scheduled for December in Paris).
Lacking any better alternative, leading companies in sustainability should participate constructively in these domestic regulatory efforts. There is certainly room for improvement if the goal is to reduce GHG emissions most efficiently.
Forward-looking companies should also plan their product/service offerings with an eye toward assisting customers/consumers in reducing GHG emissions in the decades ahead. This regulatory trend has staying power.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the 1994 Education Act. Commonly known as the Butler Act, after the Education Secretary who pioneered its progress through parliament, the act introduced the 11+ exam leading to grammar, secondary modern or technical school education for children. But what is its legacy today? In March 1943, Rab Butler, the young president of the Board of Education, went to Chequers to see Winston Churchill. After a weekend of playing bagatelle, dining and watching films of Tsarist Russia, Butler found a moment alone with him. The meeting with Churchill – leaning back on his pillows in a four-poster bed, night-cap on and with a large cat at his feet – was an unlikely beginning for the most fundamental reform of the English education system, but that night the prime minister signed off on what became the 1944 Education Act. Conceived during the Blitz and the Normandy landings, it is remarkable to think that civil servants and ministers were focused on post-war reconstruction in order to build, as they saw it, the new Jerusalem. Churchill, in one of his inimitable radio broadcasts to the nation, described the Act as "the greatest scheme of improved education that has ever been attempted by a responsible government". Seventy years on, the legacy of the Education Act is still widely felt. Michael Barber, historian of the Act, who as head of Tony Blair's delivery unit introduced strategies and targets to the nation's classrooms, says Butler's seminal 1944 reforms would be hard to implement now. "It's very hard to do today what Butler did in the 1940s, to build a consensus and then make the change, simply because of the nature of the modern world," he says. "If you try to build a consensus now, the world moves before you've had time to do the reform." Today we accept free primary and secondary education as a national birth-right. But pre-war, things were very different. Most pupils left school at 14. Butler's Act introduced compulsory education to 15, with a clause to raise it to 16; any fee-paying at state schools was forbidden; and church schools were brought into the national system. So the 1944 Education Act provided real chances of social mobility, something educationalists ever since have tried to build on. But passing the 11-plus didn't necessarily guarantee working-class pupils would take up their place at grammar school. Baroness Shirley Williams, who was education secretary between 1976 and 1979, says: "I had several friends whose parents couldn't afford the uniform," she says. "They never went to grammar school at all. Others didn't go because they were expected to stay until at least 15 and their parents wanted them to come out as quickly as possible to get jobs." A documentary broadcast on Radio 4 tonight explores the legacy of Butler's Act, and finds an education system where all too often the government of the day was pitted against the teaching profession. Williams, in the 1970s, like subsequent education secretaries, felt the displeasure of the teaching profession at close quarters. "Going to education conferences was to be crucified," recalls Williams. "You got spat at, you got shouted at, you got abuse hurled at you." The 1944 Education Act had established a national education system, but with the power to implement change delegated to local education authorities and revered chief officers, such as Alec Clegg in the West Riding of Yorkshire, who toured the county, inspiring teachers and making it clear who ran education in his area. This was an era of considerable teacher autonomy and little accountability to parents. Today, ministers argue, this autonomy has been resurrected: after the New Labour years of targets and centrally driven strategies, teachers can once again teach as they choose in return for greater accountability. And the appointment this month of a high-powered team of regional commissioners to oversee academies is reminiscent of Butler's vision for local chief officers. But since 1944, successive governments have also shown they cannot resist pulling power to Whitehall. What Kenneth Baker, David Blunkett and Michael Gove have devolved with one hand, they have taken back to the centre with the other. Butler's legacy remained relatively unscathed until Kenneth Baker's 1988 Education Reform Act, which dismantled much of what he had created, with directives from Whitehall about curriculum and testing, the birth of GCSEs and the advent of local management of schools, which challenged the historic role of local authorities. Now headteachers and governors had control of their budgets, and teachers naturally became nervous of pay and conditions being worked out by individual schools rather than through national agreements. But if Baker was controlling, Blair and Blunkett were even more centrist and interventionist when they delivered the "Education, education, education" mantra in 1997. Where the Butler Act was localist, New Labour actively challenged schools' autonomy through targets, strategies and league tables, which overwhelmed the profession. Relations with the teaching unions hit a nadir, with ballots and strikes in the late 1990s. Blunkett is unapologetic: "If you're going to bring about change, you're going to break eggs, and the grump in the staffroom was always going to have one foot in the grave," he says. Today, Michael Gove seems just as happy to incur the wrath of teachers. Sir David Bell, permanent secretary at the Department for Education under both Labour and coalition governments, tells the programme: "There was clearly a quite significant attempt by the coalition government to reset the relationship with the trade unions." Despite all the criticisms of academies, free schools and excessive testing of pupils, schools are unquestionably better places to be than in 1944. There is now investment in state education which Butler and Churchill could only have dreamed about. And while social-mobility challenges persist, university participation has risen in a way the reformers in 1944 could not have imagined. What will the education system look like in 70 years' time? Blunkett, who has been reviewing education policy for Labour, is clear about his party's next steps. "I think the changes are irreversible," he says, "although we'll want to build on them and we'll want to reintroduce the glue." So he is rejecting the idea of thousands of schools working alone, preferring a rejuvenation in counties or regions of ambitious and inspiring political and headteacher leaders: "Academies are here to stay, but we need something like the Cleggs of West Yorkshire rather than the Cleggs of the modern era." National politicians since 1944 have been unable to resist tinkering with and sometimes meddling in the nation's classrooms. Greater autonomy has often felt like it has come with conditions attached – you are free to run your own schools as long as you do it the way we want you to. At times, teachers have responded naively and crudely – Gove is certainly not the first education secretary to bring them out of the classroom on to the street in protest. The story since 1944 has been one of conflict and consensus, with varying degrees of intensity. What is needed is mutual trust in education: between central government and teachers, and between local and national politicians. The successful future of our schools is one in which governments meddle less, and trust more. And teachers demonstrate an altogether new professionalism. • Teachers vs Government: 70 Years of Education Policy, presented by Roy Blatchford is on Radio 4 at 8pm on 22 April Source : The GuardianRead Full Story

We are really excited to introduce a new Retail Management course to our subject range. Retail is defined as the selling of merchandise directly to the consumer, which affects all of our daily lives and interests many people. This is why we have chosen it as a new course to offer our students. What Is Retail Management? Retailing began several thousand years ago with peddlers hawking their wares in the marketplaces. Since then it has developed and forms a major part of our society and every day life. There are many forms of retailing, it can consist of the sale of goods or merchandise from a fixed location, such as a department store, boutique, or by mail and the goods can be bought in large or small quantities. Retail is not limited to shopping in department stores, retailers also supply a service to members of the public, which can include supplying a public utility like power or a food service, such as in a restaurant. "Shopping" is generally the term used when consumers are visiting retailers in order to buy goods or services. We also now have phrases like "retail therapy", which goes to show just how important retail has become. Our Course This course aims to provide you with knowledge needed to work in the retail sector, covering: selling, service, team working, health and safety, dealing with theft and product knowledge. Covering a variety of specific product areas, it's ideal for those already working in the retail sector looking to progress, or for those looking to work in the sector who'd like to increase their knowledge. Here are the twelve course units you will work through: Retail Classification of Retailers Population Trends Store Layout and Image Ordering and Receiving Function Security Merchandising Housekeeping Customer Relations and Buying Behaviour of Customers Stocktaking Staff Budgets Some other great advantages of this course are that it doesn't have any entry level requirements, and you can complete it at your own pace. You will have a number of assignments to complete, each consisting of several mini essay questions. This course has been accredited through the Focus Awards "Focus on Quality Provision" (FQP) Scheme. The course content and depth of study required have been benchmarked against Level 3 on the Qualification Credit Framework (QCF).

Whole Grain With a long day of revision or college work ahead of you it's important to give your body energy to allow your brain to function at its optimal level. It is easy to get lethargic or restless which is why whole grains are a dietary must. They release energy slowly allowing your brain to get a boost throughout the day instead of just in the morning after you have eaten breakfast.

Pop Culture Distance Learning Many years ago the idea of a phone without a cord and with the ability to make you contactable from pretty much any place on Earth – except my living room apparently – would have been both unfathomable and unfashionable, as early 90's pop-culture can readily attest. Skinny jeans and streamlined corporate wear would have been met with the kind of derision that the poor monkey from France faced when surfacing on the shore of Hartlepool way back when. And once over, distance learning was deemed the safe house of the social outcast and the lazy slacker for whom structure and discipline were above and beyond. But as with fashion and technology, educational trends change and the attitudes toward them do too. And, with this realisation from the world that distance learning and distance learners are just like any other student in their thirst for knowledge and quest for success, so comes its inevitable acceptance into the conscious of popular culture. The popular culture – whether that is film, television, sport and or music – is infiltrated with people of huge talent who, because of those talents, have often taken to forgoing certain steps of their educational journey. So inundated is the popular Zeitgeist with such success stories that you'd often be forgiven for thinking they were advocating the drop out of education rather than painting these fortunate few as the exception to the general rule. But what happens if and when the music stops and there's no chair to fall back on? What do such people have as their safety net? Well here we take a look at five famous faces who, at various points of their fame, teamed up their role as celebrity with a role as a distance learner. Arnold Schwarznegger The terminator was an early advocate of the distant learning mode of transport and a distance learner when distance learning was still very much underground. Way back in 1979, the two-term Governor of California was still plying his trade as one of the most successful bodybuilders of all time when he enrolled on and earned a BA in Business and international economics, from one of the first providers of distance learning courses, the University of Wisconsin.Read Full Story
