Dust mites are teeny, tiny bugs that live in household dust. You have to be pretty small to live in dust - and they are. You actually need a microscope to see them! So if you can't even see them, what's the problem? Well, people can be allergic to dust mites and their droppings. This stuff gets into the air, and without a person knowing it, the dust mites can get into a person's lungs. Dust mites don't bother most people, but if the person has asthma, they can worsen breathing problems. It's also tough to get rid of dust mites because they work themselves into soft places like pillows, blankets, mattresses, and stuffed animals.

(Sports Network) - Taylor Hall, who was cut for 30 stitches in his head on Tuesday, returns to the lineup tonight as the Edmonton Oilers host the Calgary Flames. Hall, who is tied for second on the Oilers with 15 goals, suffered a deep gash when he fell to the ice and was accidentally stepped on by teammate Corey Potter.
"I'm going to play tonight; I feel good," said Hall on the Oilers' twitter feed today. "It doesn't hurt. My eye is swollen but I can see."
The Calgary Flames will try to continue their dominance of the Oilers when the Battle of Alberta resumes at Edmonton's Rexall Place. Alex Tanguay is out for the Flames and Brendan Morrison (upper-body injury) is a game-time decision.
The Flames have won eight straight in this series and the first three of six scheduled meetings so far this year. Calgary has also taken 15 of 16 overall from the Oilers and three straight in Edmonton.
Calgary also enters tonight with a 4-1-1 record in its last six trips to the ice, while the Oilers have lost two straight and seven of eight.
The Flames, who are just two points out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference, ended a two-game slide with Thursday's shootout victory in Los Angeles. Mike Cammalleri, playing in his third game since returning to the Flames via a trade with Montreal, scored the winner in the shootout to lift Calgary to the 2-1 win over the Kings.
In the second round, Cammalleri deked back to the forehand and buried his chance past Jonathan Quick. Mike Richards had the last chance for Los Angeles, but his wrist shot was stopped by Miikka Kiprusoff, who gets the start tonight.
Jarome Iginla's 502nd career goal was Calgary's lone regulation tally and Kiprusoff finished with 31 saves.
"Our effort was good tonight and we played hard," said Calgary head coach Brent Sutter. "Kiprusoff stood tall and we found a way, our focus was really good."
The Flames won despite playing without forward Curtis Glencross, who suffered a knee injury Tuesday in San Jose and is considered week-to-week. Glencross is tied with Iginla for the team lead in goals with 18.
Tonight's test marks the finale of a three-game road trip for the Flames, who are just 9-14-4 as the guest this season.
The Oilers, meanwhile, were dealt a 1-0 loss Thursday in St. Louis, as Jaroslav Halak needed to stop just 15 shots to blank Edmonton. Nikolai Khabibulin, who will start in net tonight, was the hard-luck loser, stopping 38-of-39 shots for the Oilers.
"They just kept coming at us, wave after wave all night," said Edmonton defenseman Andy Sutton. "They had a heavy forecheck going the whole time and we didn't weather it well."
The Oilers are 11-7-3 as the host this year and are playing two straight and five of their next six games at Rexall Place.

" I don't like the idea of "understanding" a film. I don't believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn't. If you are moved by it, you don't need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.
Federico Fellini
Same goes for poetry!
(via whiskey—robot)
this this this!
(via electrichoney)
This quote reminds me of Susan Sontag's "Against Interpretation," and like that essay, I both agree and disagree. I don't believe that appreciation, in its purest form, requires "understanding." But when I read a great analysis of a film (or song or book, etc.), it does make me appreciate it in a new and different way. Maybe I wouldn't call that "understanding," because it's arrogant to assume that you can distill any powerful artwork to a single explanation of "what it means," but I think there's still value in searching for and discussing meaning.

(FOX 11) Heal the Bay's annual beach report card is out... and it's good news/ bad news for Southern California. An analysis of water quality over the past year found more than 90% percent of SoCal beaches are above average when it comes to cleanliness- getting a grade of A's and B's. But there's an infamous list of the dirtiest beaches in California, with grades of F's... And in that top 10 are 2 in Orange County and 4 in Los Angeles County.
Here's the 2013 "Beach Bummers" list of the most polluted:
1. Avalon, Catalina Island - LA County
2. Cowell Beach, Santa Cruz - Santa Cruz County
3. Poche Beach - Orange County 4. Cabrillo Beach, harbor side - LA County
5. Malibu Pier - LA County
6. Marina Lagoon - San Mateo County
7. Doheny State Beach, Dana Point - Orange County
8. Redondo Beach Pier - LA County
9. Windsurfer Circle - San Francisco County
10. Tijuana River Mouth - San Diego County
Some of our local beaches did make the "Honor Roll". Among the A+ beaches: Hermosa Beach, Leo Carillo State Beach in Malibu, the Wedge in Newport Beach and Cabrillo Beach oceanside.
As far as bugs go, caterpillars are usually pretty tame – except for one.

DOVER, Del.- Dover International Speedway will be the location of two triple header NASCAR weekends next year on May 30-June 1 and Sept. 26-28, 2014, Dover International Speedway officials announced Thursday.
The spring weekend at the Monster Mile will feature the May 30 "Lucas Oil 200" NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, the May 31 NASCAR Nationwide Series race and the June 1 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Upon NASCAR returning in the fall, "Drive Sober 150" will be presented by the Delaware Office of Highway Safety NASCAR K7N Pro Series East race, the Sept. 27 NASCAR Nationwide Series race and the Sept. 28 "AAA 400" NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, the third event in the 10-race chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
NASCAR is offering fans discounted tickets for the Sprint Cup Series third straight year as a part of its three-tier pricing program, as long as the fans commit to the track early. This year's deadlines for the best savings have been extended to allow more time to take advantage of the best possible prices. For instance, fans that purchase their June 1, 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series tickets by Nov. 21, 2013 have the opportunity to save nearly 50 percent in some seating sections as part of the track's Preferred Pricing Period.
Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. says that the three-tier pricing program has had great reviews from fans.
"When we decided to redesign our deadline structure for 2014, we thought the best way to do that would be by giving our fans even more time to save money on their race tickets," McGlynn said. "If they are willing to commit to us early, we will provide them with the best possible prices available from the track."
The Monster Mile is also introducing its all-new 2-pack ticket package this year, which allows fans to pair Sunday race tickets with either a Friday or Saturday race ticket at a discounted price.
Junior tickets for those who are ages 14 and younger will be available for $10 on Sunday races. These tickets feature seating in all four turns that include seven alcohol and tobacco free sections. Friday and Saturday junior tickets are $8 in all available seating sections.
Tickets for the May 30-June 1, 2014 race weekend are presently on sale. Fans can begin placing deposits for the Sept. 26-28, 2014 race weekend. Returning fans have the opportunity to reserve their same seats for the 2014 race weekends.
For tickets, to place a deposit or for more information, call 800-441-RACE or visit DoverSpeedway.com. Fans can also keep up with the Monster Mile at http://www.facebook.com/DoverInternationalSpeedway or on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/MonsterMile.

Growth mindset should be a philosophy in teaching and learning. Does it replace pedagogy? I don't think so, but I think they work together. Max van Manen's work in the area of thoughtful pedagogy fits well with growth mindset.
Working with learners of low SES and whose environment more often than not ensures they have a fixed mindset, it is important that we help them to redefine what success is. Too often it is fixed around being rich, having a big car, house, jewellery etc. These learners then become preoccupied with looking for the short-cut to success, to the riches they believe will make them happy. It doesn't work out like that of course. How then to help the alter their thinking?
Dweck's work is essential in this. But as this article states it cannot be seen as "a task to complete". It requires a shift in thinking of all in an organisation, a movement for a whole-school way of thinking, involving also parents or carers. This article by Costa, Garmston and Zimmerman provides a solid basis for promoting growth mindsets in educators.

NEW ORLEANS - Police want to talk to three "persons of interest" in connection with an early Monday morning shooting at the edge of the French Quarter.
Police said Larry Quinn, 18; Victor Leggett, 21; and Renaldo George, 24; are wanted for questioning in the 3 a.m. shooting of a man in the 400 block of Iberville Street. The victim, who was shot from behind, sustained wounds to
his elbow, knee and back.
Detectives obtained surveillance video of
a vehicle they believe the suspects arrived and fled in. The vehicle appeared to be a dark blue SUV. The vehicle parked on North
Peters just past Iberville. The suspects are seen exiting the vehicle and
then walking around the corner to where the shooting occurred. The
subjects are seen returning to the vehicle and then fleeing on North Peters
towards Canal Street.
Detectives recovered new surveillance
video that shows two men walking to and from the scene.
The two subjects may have
been accompanied by a female that exited the vehicle at the corner of Canal
Street and North Peters. The female was also captured on surveillance
Anyone with information about these individuals or the shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111. Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest and indictment.

Project Name: Republic Plaza Renovation
Project Location: Denver, Colo
Project Construction Budget: $2,000,000 (approximate)
Purpose of Project
One of several downtown Denver Class A office properties, Republic Plaza was originally designed by SOM and completed in 1983. An incomplete design understanding of the severity of freeze-thaw cycles in Denver contributed to rapid deterioration of the two over-structure plazas. Fifteen years of wear, repair and piecemeal renovation had compromised the overall qualities of the public spaces associated with the building.
With a local architect, the landscape architect found opportunities in the technical renovation to upgrade the plazas as Denver's most elegant and usable public spaces, with detailing and furniture compatible with the interior finishes of the building. The major objectives of the project included upgrading the real estate value, improving the visual identity and better accommodating use. In addition, the life cycle of the plaza has been extended significantly with improved pavements, waterproofing and drainage systems. Custom lighting promotes evening uses, enhances safety and establishes a daytime identity for the project.
Role of the Landscape Architect and the Role of Other Participants
The landscape architect worked in an equal capacity with the architect to determine design and technical solutions for the project. The landscape architect led design charrettes and facilitated the development of schematic alternatives. Reporting from an extensive plaza case study analysis, which it had prepared previously, the landscape architect recommended the primary technical solutions for the project.
For fee and contractual reasons, the landscape architect provided the architect with detail sketches for documenting the project for construction. The architect determined final technical solutions for a number of components such as custom lights and building façade renovation. The landscape architect visited the quarry site in Cold Springs, Minnesota. to select granite with the client. In addition, the landscape architect brought the general contractor to the client, using a negotiated contract to attain budget, quality control and schedule objectives.
Special Factors
Dual Plaza Roles
The project included two significantly different plazas: One serves as the business front door on 17th Street, the "Wall Street of the Rockies;" the other serves the vital and animated 16th Street Mall. The design solution addresses the unique differences at each plaza with compositional, furnishing and color strategies.
Severely Deteriorated Plazas
The design team determined long-term solutions for a number of dramatically failed construction systems, including crumbled pavements, leaking waterproofing, clogged drainage components and corroded lighting and bollard foundations. The deteriorating plazas created several problems for the owner, including a compromised perception of the real estate, large annual fees for maintenance, safety hazards and water leaks into occupied tenant spaces.
Retail Viability
Several retail tenants and a food court exist on a lower level off 16th Street. As with many recessed urban uses, the retail suffered because of poor visibility from the Mall. A heavy, opaque guardrail wrapping the recess was redesigned to be transparent. Lighting was designed to illuminate the area and architecturally highlight the space. A colorful signage program was implemented by others, complementing the color scheme chosen by this design team.
Page 2
Project Phasing
To maintain access to the office tower and not adversely affect retail, food court or ATM use, a detailed construction-phasing plan was devised. A newsletter and signage program was used to advise employees and guests of progress.
Quality of Design
The design solution creates a benchmark technical achievement, leaving the owner with a life-cycle product projected to exceed the original solution. Materials, patterns and components were chosen to respect and complement the 56-story office tower. The 16th Street Plaza establishes a liberated visual transition between the modular modern façade and the whimsical exuberance of the Mall.
The plazas function to the delight of daytime and evening users. Daytime competition for seating space is significant, and observations of night use suggest users lingering after dinner or theater.
Relationship to Context
Relationships to both 17th Street and the 16th Street Mall are an integral part of the success of the project. By acknowledging the uniquely different characteristics of each of these project edges, the solutions fit both addresses.
Environmental Responsibility
(See below, "Overall Relevance…")
Overall Relevance to Landscape Architecture, the Public and the Environment
More than any other discipline, landscape architects are given great opportunity to define the quality and character of urban America. A renewed interest in urban life pronounces these opportunities. By revitalizing the urban public realm, our cities become more desirable places for people to work, live and entertain themselves. Re-centralization through infill development and upgrades to existing properties helps us to defeat the environmental, social and economic problems associated with sprawl-related development.
New York City-based incentive zoning of the 1960s established a nationwide precedent that allowed for taller buildings if a ground-level public space was provided. In many cases, the outcome included buildings set back unfavorably from the street and pedestrians and large, unaccommodating paved areas referred to as plazas. The plazas were dramatically different than their European predecessors. For the most part, they provided no significant reason to visit. In addition, very few residents existed in downtowns, creating the nine-to-five effect, or even worse, the lunch-time-only crowd.
Evening and weekend vitality is gaining momentum in downtown Denver. High-quality residences, restaurants, theaters and retail allow people to enjoy their city. Users expect a consistency in quality between their leisure experience and the public spaces which connect those experiences.
The Republic Plaza Renovation addresses common plaza shortcomings by strengthening relationships to streets, encouraging use beyond the lunch hour and celebrating the role of the public space through use of materials and components details.

Republic Plaza Renovation
Slide Descriptions
1. The project plan illustrates the existing conditions associated with the project, including the existing buildings and relationships to adjoining streets and the 16th Street Mall.
2. The original plaza construction was demolished to the structural slab. Existing pavements, drainage components, waterproofing and lighting were found to be severely deteriorated.
3. The plaza plan for 16th Street illustrates new pavement patterns, renovated planters, lighting, railing and stairs.
4. The perspective rendering illustrates an early schematic option, including a wall-mounted lighting scheme, new granite pavements, an improved relationship to the 16th Street Mall, transparent guardrail and renovated planters.
5. A sketch view from the 16th Street Mall across the plaza toward the office tower illustrates the promenade entry and people-watching space and tabled cafe space inside a framework of custom lights.
6. The plaza plan at 17th Street illustrates the formal, symmetrical solution on the " Wall Street of the Rockies." The plan patterns and scale are derived directly from the building organization.
7. A perspective sketch illustrates the plaza framed by stately Colorado Blue Spruce trees in oversized planters.
8. The detail illustrates the pavement replacement system and renovated topping slab over the existing structure. The solution allows for unencumbered sub-drainage and long paver life. Dummy joints at oversized granite pavers suggest a reduced module.
9. Custom lights were designed for both plazas - these details represent 17th Street plaza lights. Materials include granite, stainless steel and stacked glass. An on-site, full-scale mockup was constructed, evaluated and revised for final construction.
10. Custom lights and glass guardrails were detailed for the 16th Street plaza. The details are designed to complement the clean, modern building, but with a flare that celebrates the 16th Street Mall.
11. Planters were renovated p to improve drainage and waterproofing, provide an improved growing environment for plants and provide a more-suitable seating area.
12. State-of-the-art detailing for large spruce planters include multiple drainage systems, aeration and monitoring tubes, special soil medium, drip- and mist-based irrigation devices, planter insulation and moisture retaining stone groundcover.
13. A partial view of the completed 16th Street plaza highlights the relationship to the 16th Street Mall. A framework of custom lights establishes a cafe space above the recessed retail area, while also guiding pedestrian circulation across the plaza.
14. The primary approach to the plaza from the mall has been improved with a more generous opening, auto-restricting bollards, a transparent guardrail and a renovated planter. The original construction included a collection of ground-level planters near the opening at the mall.
15. A view from a second-level restaurant above the plaza shows layering of circulation and destination spaces, including segregated-but-open relationship to the street at the tree planter.
16. A rigorous furniture design and selection process was undertaken, with consideration given to durability, maintainability, comfort and visual qualities. Tables were custom designed with heavy bases to resist wind and vandalism.
17. A secondary planter within the plaza provides less public seating and potential shade. Stone material changes are delineated at several locations with use of elongated joints across the plaza.
18. Two 30-feet-tall Colorado Blue Spruce trees were carefully installed in the state-of-the-art planters on the 17th Street plaza as directed by the landscape architect. The spruce trees, scaled to the building, remind corporate guests of the Colorado business address.
19. Custom lights and railings on 17th Street plaza are designed to complement the module and materials of the building, but also establish a welcoming presence at the street.
20. The large planters include a shingled Colorado sandstone groundcover as an additional symbol of the Colorado business address. Granite stairs were rebuilt over new waterproofing.

The Avant-Garde Designer Collaborates On a Bespoke Box Set With Nomenus' Erik Madigan Heck
It was a hyper-globalized scenario that brought designer Haider Ackermann and photographer Erik Madigan Heck together: the Colombian-born, Belgian-trained Ackermann—a fashion world sensation thanks to his innovative draping and abstracted leather creations—was in Paris, busily preparing to show his first menswear collection in Italy, when he phoned the New York-based, Minneapolis-born Heck and invited him to Florence to document the collection prior to its runway debut. The two had never met, though Ackermann (who counts Tilda Swinton as muse and advocate) was an admirer of Heck's images for the 2009 Ann Demeulemeester retrospective in Antwerp, and felt he made the ideal documentarian for the collection. The ensuing collaboration unfolded at the Palazzo Corsini in Florence, resulting in a series of painterly vignettes that play up Ackermann's vivid color palette––stormy blues, moss-like greens, mustard yellows and fleshy creams that lend an Old Masters sensibility. The series, initially published in Nomenus, has been commissioned by Milan's 10 Corso Como for a special box set containing five original prints. The sets will be released on December 23, and limited to an exclusive ten, in homage to the influential concept store's iconic address.

By Alicia Lutes, Hollywood.com Staff
""I think I'm done with aliens,"" American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy chuckled after a viewing of next Wednesday's season finale of the buzzy miniseries.
Fortunately for Murphy, he has tons of ideas for the upcoming season of AHS, and shared some of the non-spoilery bits with the press. In a room full of fans that also happened to be reporters, Murphy was careful with his choice of words, but was able to give enough information to keep the speculation train running well into production.
Fans of the series know that there were several hold overs from season one into season two, actor-wise: Lily Rabe, Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Dylan McDermott, Zachary Quinto, and Sarah Paulson an idea that delighted fans who were looking for a connection to the previous season, knowing that the story lines and characters would all be different. Would the same be said for season three? Well yes, partially! Murphy confirmed that at least three of the characters from season two would be returning: Lange, Paulson, and Peters. But who will they play? Details were scarce, but Murphy explained it thusly: ""I already know who Sarah's playing,"" though he noted that the star herself has no idea. And as for Peters, who took on a decidedly different role in season two than season one? ""Next year he'll probably go back to being a sobbing psychopath,"" Murphy quipped.
But those aren't the only characters making a comeback. Murphy explained that he's hopeful several actors from season one would return for season three. ""We are going to have some actors from season one that will return, [and] those actors are interested in [doing] that."" (Anyone else hankering for a little Connie Britton return?) While he was slim on names, it seems that actors have begun banging down his door and not just for Glee including, it seems ""people with multiple Oscars."" And if that wasn't enough, Murphy also explained that he's already meeting with several actors who are sure to be promising additions to the series.
Why's that? Jessica Lange, natch. Murphy's Horror muse has ""sort of become an uncredited producer on season three."" Mostly because Lange ""loves doing the show."" Her work as an unofficial producer has already brought in some suggestions: namely actors with which she's always wanted to work. And that tale which Murphy has mentioned has been hinted at a few times during season two will be decidedly different from season two. ""It's a very different tone in season three,"" Murphy said. ""It's lighter and more fun and funny.""
Funny and horror combined seems like a wildly different turn than seasons past, but Murphy feels confident in his choice. ""The thing i really wanted to do next season ... I really want next season to be funnier,"" Murphy explained. ""I really miss that."" One thing that elevates humor? Eccentric women at the center. Enter: next seasons potential star. ""...it's really about female power. And I got Jessica to do it because I did everything she asked, which was the location, and I also told her that she'd have complete hair and make-up and the best designer gowns."" A great female icon at the center of a comedic horror story? Color us impressed and intrigued, Murphy. Just remember Lange's one request: ""She said 'please don't put me in a wimple again!' So she's going to play a really glamour cat sort of lady.""
As for the time, Murphy feels a return to modernity is the key to telling this sort of American horror. ""You will see a very different; it's a modern-day story."" And that story has very personal interest for himbeyond the typical horror fascination that the writer is known for: ""I always start off with the story ... the season we're just about to do is another thing like the Asylum thing that I was always really interested in as a kid."" No offense, Ryan, but you must've been one dark child!
Don't expect that well of personal fascination to run dry anytime soon, though. Murphy hopes the show runs for ""10 years"" and that he has ""so many different kinds of horror I want to write about."" The horror, the horror!
American Horror Story's season finale airs Wednesday, January 23rd on FX.
Are you looking forward to season three of American Horror Story? Tuning in for the season finale of season two? Let us know in the comments!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The paper made the invite very rich looking. The only complaint I would have is they did not give you any extra envelopes so there was NO room for mistakes!"
"This invite is just amazing. I love it, it is traditional with a modern touch! I love that! I would recommend getting this in the signature white textured paper rather than the fancy shimmery paper. I wish i got this invite with the round edges rather than straight however, it all still looked beautiful! This will definitely wow your guests!"
"I was very happy with the invitations and response cards I received. They were delivered very fast as I did not have much time to get these sent and returned. The restaurant was very late in coming out with their spring menus, so printing earlier was not an option. I did have difficulty in finding suitable rehearsal dinner invites with matching response cards. Perhaps you could make the ordering easier when specific requests are necessary. I was very pleased with the end result and would order again and recommend to others!"
"I absolutely loved my rehearsal dinner invitations! Not only were they beautiful but they came in the mail way sooner than they were supposed to! 2 thumbs up!"
"We used this product for our engagement party invitations. It was easy to personalise with our event details. I am very impressed with the quality of the paper. I have received a few compliments on the beautiful design already and I only sent the invitations out yesterday! I was also impressed with how quickly we received our order considering we are in Sydney, Australia."

Faculty members who have questions about the class schedule should contact the Chair of their department or the Scheduling Coordinator (see Registrar's Office staff).
Registration for classes spans a two-week period and is ordered first by student level (graduate, undergraduate, non-matriculated, etc.), then by the total number of accrued, completed credits the student has earned at and/or officially transferred to PLU. The week period before registration is called Advising Week. At this time, first-year and sophomore students are instructed to meet with their academic advisor to determine their classes for the next term and receive a registration access code. This is required to register through Banner Web. Juniors and seniors are encouraged, at this time, to meet with their major advisor to ensure that they are set to graduate on time.

This is a Sequel to the Story Come Back To Me :)
Click Here to the read the first story to the sequel Realize
Click Here to Read Come Back To Me.
Summary: It's 16 years later and everyone stopped ageing due to magic in Narnia. Peter, Caspian and Dorian are away at war and when they come back they come back with a young prince called Rillian who helped them fight. He falls in love with King Caspian's only daughter Miracle and she with him, But there is one problem. Miracle has to marry Jacob, a mean and rich prince who only cares about money. His parents are forcing them together against her and his wishes. Caspian is Furious and will not stand for this. Queen Bella is pregnant with Caspian's son. Peter and Lilliandil are married with a son called William and she is pregnant with twins. Dorian and Lucy are married and they have 2 children, Dorian Jr and Isabell. Will Rillian and Miracle ever be together?
Inspired by this song:
The sun was rather warm, Princess Miracle was on the beach and she was spinning around in circles, she missed her father and her two uncles. She was worried for them as they were away at war but she knew all 3 of them were skilled warriors. She was more like her mother, kind, sweet, gentle. She loved to sing and play the piano. But in some ways she was also like her father, she was courageous and had a spirit.
She saw her cousin William and she smiled at his words "They are back" he said. Miracle ran back to the castle along her side cousin William.
But she stopped when she saw them, there was someone else among them, a young, handsome prince. She felt her cheeks flush a little as she curtsied to him after he bowed.
"I am Prince Rillian" The young man spoke as he kissed the top of her hand softly
"Princess Miracle" she replied and smiled softly at him.

I am glad :)
Chapter 5~Rillian's Past
Rillian held Miracle close as he kissed her more deeply, not caring it was raining, she stayed in his arms, her fingers tangled in his slightly longer hair as she kissed more more. he pulled back softly and kissed her softly once more again on her lips, the kiss a soft brush of his lips against hers.
Miracle felt her cheeks turn pink. she looked into his eyes "Do you honoustly think I wan't to marry him?" she asked, this time finishing off the sentence as the last time he stopped her right in the middle of it, with the most wonderful and passionate kiss ever.
He looked at her and sighed "No, I just don't want to lose you." he said and leaned his forehead against hers "I need to think of something. I am not letting you get married to him."
Miracle sighed and stayed in his arms "I don't want to lose you either Rillian, but It's not like we can just say something that will make this all go away. It's arranged. if only things were different." she said, her voice said. She hated this, the arranged marriages. Her parents got married normally, out of love, so for her aunts and uncles. Why could she not have that? She longed for that special moment, with that someone special. But she had that someone special, but he was not going to be part of that special moment. Her weeding day.
She was not to be Rillian's wife, the mother of his children or his Queen. She was forced into a marriage with someone else, someone else who would be her husband, king and the father of her children. The thought made her wince with disgust and she buried her face in Rillian's chest. "Where did you go last night?" she asked softly.
He sighed "I....I am sorry, I freaked out on you last night. I just don't like to talk about it."
"It?" Miracle asked and her head snapped up "Look if its because of what Jake said about me..." she trailed off as Rillian stopped her
"No, no, its about this." he said and looked at the scars on his wrists "My past." he said as he looked into her eyes again.
Miracle ran her finger tips across his scars, they were all different shapes and sizes "War wounds?" she asked looking at him "The scars I mean." she said
"You could say that." He said and sighed "It happened when I was 15. I met Jake, he seemed normal as any other person in the universe but he just turned out to be obsessed with money like his parents. My parents were dead so I had no one to support me through the tough times and I got called to war. I battled against Jake many times but this one time, it was the worst. He was supposed to be fighting for our side, the Narnian's but he took the other side of the monsters, he thought I was the bad guy and he attacked me, in the most of it all, he almost killed me, the scars are a reminder of what is. He blames me for what happened, but he started it and that's what he meant the other day." He looked down at the floor and shuffled his feet uncomfortably.
Miracle's breath was caught in her throat from the shock, she looked at Rillian sadly and she hugged him tightly "I am so sorry Rillian. That's terrible." she said and tears prickled her eyes, how was she supposed to marry Jake now? He almost killed Rillian and she was set to Marry Jake. Sobs escaped her once again. "I...I don't want to do this."
Rillian sighed and held her "I know you don't." he kissed her hair softly "I just wish there would be a way for you too not marry him." he said then an idea sprang to his head. It was a rather crazy idea, well crazy to some people you could say, but it felt so right. He loved her and it was a long shot, it was a risk he was willing to take.
"I love you." He whispered into her ear softly and looked into her eyes and smiled, his smile was filled with some what sadness.
"I love you too." Miracle said and suppressed back the tears that were building up in her eyes
Chapter 6~Talk with Parents
It was a few days later that Rillian decided to talk to Miracle's parents about his idea. He just hoped that they would not want to rip his head off by the end of the talk. He paced up and down the throne room where Bella was sitting, her hand on her pregnant Bella and Caspian held her other hand in his and he raised his eyebrow at Rillian "Rillian. would you stop pacing." he said
"Oh yes, sorry." He said and stopped.
"You okay? you seem very nervous." Bella said as she looked at him and looked at Caspian worried, she wondered if Rillian was okay "Rillian, about Miracle..." he winced at the subject, he knew she was probably going to talk about his Miracle marrying Jake "She loves you more then you know. And if there was a way for her to be with you, we would allow her to, but we have no idea how to stop this marriage." she said and sighed "It's out of our hands, as much as we would like it to be in our grasp, it's not."
"But Aslan..." Rillian said
"He does not control it either." Caspain said "It's some sort of Narnian Congregation that controls the marriage and they banned us from meddling in with this." he said
"Why would they ban you? You rule Narnia." He said
"Part of it anyways. Not the part from where Jake comes from." Caspian said
Rillian sighed "I think I got an idea, I got it the other day, well a week ago actually." He said and looked at them "I know it may some what sound crazy, but at least it will be a shot. Do you think that the weeding could not go on if Miracle was engaged to someone else?" He said
Bella and Caspian looked at each other and raised an eyebrow at Rillian slightly "I think that might work. The weeding would not go on, it could not go, as Miracle would be promised to someone else. but the issue is, she's not promised to anyone else."
"But she could be." He said
"Who?" Caspian said looking at Rillian curious as to what the young Prince was getting at
"Me." Rillian said
I love this new update!!!

Chapter 7~Engagement
Bella and Caspian stared at Rillian in pure and utter shock "You..." Bella said, she didn't even finish the sentence as she could not find the words, of course she liked Prince Rillian and approved of him as a Queen of Narnia and Miracle's mother. but this shocked her, rather deeply.
He nods "Yes me." He looked at them both "I know, it seems hasty and fast, but I love your daughter. I loved her from the moment we met. She's the most important thing to me and I want to marry her." He meant every word he just said, he was truly and deeply serious about this.
Caspian looked at Rillian for a moment, considering what he was about to say. "Well, I was waiting for you to come out and say this." he said and smiled at Rillian who looked confused now and raised an eyebrow at Caspian in wonderment "I see the way you look at my daughter and if I wished for her to marry anyone, it would be you." He said
Bella nods "I agree, you're a far better choice for Miracle and no one is forcing either of you, as it comes naturally to both of you." she said, talking about their love for one another.
Rillian smiled at their conclusions "Thank you. Of course that's why I am asking for your..." He trailed off as Caspian cut in
"You always had our permission from the beginning, no matter if we told you about it or not." Caspian said and he put his hand on Rillian's shoulder "I know my daughter will be happy with you, she's already happy when you're around. I never thought I'd see her this happy."
Bella nods in agreement and smiles "You will make her a fine husband."
Rillian smiled softly "Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me." He said, they made an Arrangement and then they all walked outside and Rillian to the stables to get his horse, he took it outside and Miracle saw him and frowned.
"Where you going?" she asked as she walked over to him and looked sad. she did not want him to go.
"I am going home." He said and wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug "I'll be back soon my princess, I promise." He said and kissed her on her lips, it was a soft, tender kiss full of love and passion he felt for her. He then pressed his lips to her forehead softly before he jumped on his horse and waved to them others and rode off.
Miracle bit her lip and suppressed the tears forming in her eyes and she looked down. Her cousin William put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it softly just at the moment a sob escaped her and she buried her face in her hands sobbing.
Bella sighed, she wrapped her arms around her daughter "Oh sweetie" she said, she knew how much Miracle wanted Rillian to stay, but Rillian would not be gone for long. She rubbed her arm softly and planted a kiss on her daughter's head. Bella was also worried about Miracle as she knew how much she did not want to marry Jake and with Rillian gone, Miracle was much more vulnerable for Jake to get her at any time.She hoped that how long Rillian would take would be fast.
Next Day:
Miracle was asleep and curled up on her bed, her hair was in her face, one of her maids walked in "Rise and shine your highness, today is a big day." she said as she drew back her curtains, today Miracle turned 17 and there was a big celebration for her, but today was also had a different significance as well, a secret.
Miracle opened her eyes and winced at the bright sunlight and she sat up in her bed.She sighed as she realized what today was, shame. Rillian would not be here to celebrate with her, that put her in a low mood, The maid smiled sadly at her and helped her get ready, she done her hair after she helped her dress in one of Miracle's finest dresses for today. She brushed her hair softly and then pinned it up all nice with few lose strands and Miracle slipped on her shoes and then walked out of her room and took a slow walk to the main hall where things were being set up, it's also where they ate. She sat at the table in silence and just stared into her plate.
Bella looked at her daughter then at Caspian who watched her with a worried expression and put his hand ontop of his daughter's softly giving her hand a gentle squeeze.
Lucy looked worried and sighed "Well this is going to be interesting."
Dorian nods "Yeah, I guess so." he said as he looked worried as well.
"Today is a big celebration for you sweetie." Bella said looking at Miracle
Miracle sighed "I don't want to go." she looked down
"But you're 17 Miracle, its a big deal." Caspian said looking at his daughter.
Miracle sighed "I don't see why everyone has to make such a fuss about me today. I am not in the happiest moods today." she said and shoved her plate away not really hungry
Bella sighed "Look Rillian..." she winced at the subject of Rillian and shook her head with tears in her eyes
"Please don't." Miracle said close to crying once again. She got up and walked off and onto the balcony and the wind blew in her hair and she closed her eyes and let the tears slide down her cheeks.
Bella sighed and looked at Lucy and Lilliandil for help
"I'll go and talk to her." Lilliandil said and she joined Miracle out on the balcony and wrapped an around her niece's arm "Oh sweetie, I know you miss him."
"I am scared." Miracle sobbed "Scared I won't see him again, scared of what's to come. I can't marry Jake. I can't." she sobbed as her shoulders heaved as huge sobs escaped from her and she soon broke down and cried like she was weeping a river.
Lilliandil rubbed her back softly rocking her in her arms "Shh, it's okay. Rillian won't give up on you, he's not willing to let you go without a fight. You know that he'd fight for you. He loves you." she said and kissed her hair softly stroking her back softly and Miracle was soon at peace again. "Now come on, clean up, eat something and I am sure this celebration will take your mind off things."
Miracle nodded a bit and then she did as her aunt told her to and she washed up in the bathroom and then re-joined the others. Will patted her back softly and smiled at her reassuringly as she sat back down and ate her breakfast, she was hungrier then she realized.
Later that evening, the party started, there were lots of guests and everyone was in the main hall, it was rather beautifully decorated.And the lighting and the cake were just wonderful. Miracle was by the punch bowl and she poured her self some punch.
Meanwhile Prince Rillian was outside the castle and the men took his horse to the stable. The door servant showed him to the main hall where the party was. Miracle was about to take a sip when she noticed Rillian and she set her glass down and she ran to Rillian and slammed into him hugging him tightly "Rillian!" she gasped, he was here, he was back. Like he promised.
Rillian wrapped his arms around her and span her around and kissed her softly on her lips and held her close "I am back, just as I promise." he said and looked into her eyes and held her hand in his "Miracle, there's something I need to say and I need to say it.I love you Miracle, I loved you from the moment we met, you just looked at me with the most adorable confused look ever and you took my breath away. I want to be with you and I am willing to do what ever it takes to make you mine. I love you with all my heart and soul and I can't live without you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me and I am not letting that slip away or anyone try and take you away from me. Before I met you, my life was black and white, when you came into my life, it shon up like the most brightest star in the sky and I am thankful to have you in my life." He got down on one knee and pulled out a royal engagement ring "Princess Miracle of Narnia, will you do me the greatest honor and marry me?"
Miracle stood there in shock at his words, happy tears ran down her cheeks and for the first time in 17 years she found her self speechless, she nodded and smiled "Yes..Yes.." she said, everyone in the main hall was watching them and clapping while whispering sweet things:
Aww, this is so romantic
They look so sweet together
Yay, a weeding
Rillian slid the ring on her finger and got up kissing her on her lips and he span her around in his arms happy she said yes to his proposal
Yay!!! That was so sweet!!!
Can't wait for the wedding!!! :)
yep so sweet :)

Ok - I am using the builder theme with depot - I have the tabber widget on the home page - the problem is that it is inheriting the CSS styling for links in widget areas and the color of the font it is inheriting is white - so the links only show up when you roll over them
Page where issue is: www.Rubberizeit.net - its the second & third tabs on the tabber wigdet right next to the rotating image..
This is what it is inheriting
.builder-module-widget-bar a {
color: #ffffff;
So I added to my CSS:
#shoppcategorieswidget-6 ul a {
color: #000000;
#shoppcategorieswidget-6 ul a:hover {
color: #AAAAAA;
For the first tab which is the shopp categories tab it works fine - however for the second and third tabs - the link is still white till hoover - so i added the below CSS -
#tab-tabber_widget-2-2 ul a {
color: #000000;
#tab-tabber_widget-2-2 ul a:hover {
color: #AAAAAA;
This doesnt fix the issue - what am I doing wrong on the Custom CSS I am creating?
Color Of Links Inside Tabber Widget
