No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was an enticing, quality book. Very suitable for younger teens in my opinion; it has a romantic theme but the content is PG-13. The heroine is sensible and responsible for her choices. I applaud the author for her efforts to provide a good role model. The storyline is suspenseful and had me guessing well into the book. I only gave it four stars because it never really wowed me, but it was a very pleasant experience and I'm glad I read it.
Title: Evermore
Author: Alyson Noel
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Genre: Young Adult | Paranormal Romance
Reviewer Rating: Five Stars
After a tragic accident that claimed the lives of the rest of her family, Ever Bloom is forced to build her life anew. Not only does she move from Eugene, Orgeon to Laguna Beach, California to live with her aunt, thus starting a new school, but discovers she possesses psychic gifts that she had not possessed prior to the accident.
Sometime after she begins attending a new school and makes friends, she meets Damen Auguste, another newbie to the school.
"Damen is gorgeous, exotic, and wealthy", but best of all, he helps Ever to "silence the noise and random energy in her head".
I started reading this book to "fill a box" (a book from the Young Adult genre) on my "bingo sheet", which is a part of my local library's summer reading program this year. The cover intrigued me, but to be honest I nearly returned it before leaving the library because the point of view is one that tends to set my teeth on edge - First Person Present. I gave it a chance, though, and LOVED it! I started it one day and finished it the next.
Quite often, I will avoid books with vampires. To my way of thinking, they've been done... to death. (Please excuse the pun.) What I liked about this book, though, was the psychic aspects. The principles were quite in line with my own bits of knowledge and experience. And as an "Immortal", Damen disputed the myths and pulp culture surrounding vampires. In addition, having lived in California as a kid until I was a young adult - particularly Southern California - some of the scenes were like "coming home" to me.
There were a few things I found frustrating with regard to both Damen and Ever, however, I found they were issues that were cleared up by the end.
I would highly recommend this to those who enjoy young adult, paranormal romance.

Couldn't finish the book. Terrible writing, terrible plot - I don't think I have a single good thing to say about this novel. The storytelling was very abrupt with little transitions, and I couldn't connect with the narrator at all. Definitely not recommended to anyone. No idea how so many people could give it 5 stars...
Evermore is a crackerjack read for teens and teen-at-heart adults looking for more teen angst and a gushy love story with some action and mysteries spread throughout.
Getting hooked on this new series is guaranteed!

Don't Waste your Money

Comments about Flag Auto Sunshade:
Although this sunshade is good-looking, after a month the seam binding around the outside edge started falling apart and made a mess on my dash and the floor (where I put it while driving), and pieces went down the vents on the dash.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Looked Sturdier In The Photo
By Kripptonite
from Roanoke, VA
About Me Midrange shopper
This windshield shade looked to be sturdier in the photo. I had actually hoped it would be made of rigid cardboard, as the thin foam like material is just too flimsy to be held in place by ones visors. If you get one half to stay under a visor, the other side doesn't stay. Also, the plastic on the shiny metal looking side eventually flakes off all over your dashboard!
Looks Good

It doesn't fit very well and is not sturdy enough to stay in place. I like the looks of it.

We have used this front window shade all summer and it is so nice to get into the car and it not be like an oven. I really notice how hot the car is when I forget to put it up in the window. Love this product and the inspiring U.S. flag design. I feel it shows I am proud to be an American.

Turn a Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Into a Candy Machine!
Do you have an ice dispenser in your refrigerator? If so, here's a rather magical little Valentine's trick: Turn that dispenser into a surprise candy machine, as demonstrated by the blogger at Foodinese. Want a see a video of this in action? Read on!
The blogger at Foodinese says that his girlfriend really likes candy from the freezer — so he decided to "make her something fun" for Valentine's Day.
A few small hacks later, her ice dispenser was a candy machine! It seems like a relatively simple process, and so fun. This could be adapted for other things, too — we're thinking frozen peas for April Fool's Day!

Sadly our fridge does not have an ice dispenser like that. Awesome idea though.
This is awesome.
this is totally awesome
awww that's so cool. what a creative BF!
We don't have an ice dispenser either but if you replace the candy with something else, this could be a really fun idea for April Fool's Day.
Super fun!
I don't have an ice dispenser, I'm curious- if you set it to crushed ice, would it crush up the candy?
Jatoha, the larger candies do get crushed and a few of the smaller ones. When I first installed it, I didn't realize my ice maker was on crush and had a few minutes of sheer confusion before I finally realized the oversight.
this is amazing! you're awesome, and that was so sweet. mine doesn't dispense ice and is in need of a part, so i'm wondering if i could just do this permanently instead...
Rayray: for sure! My freezer's ice maker is broken too, but the dispenser still worked. I'm thinking of a more permanent revision with plexi and caulk. If you decide to do it, let me know, I would love to see other people's interpretations.
I once rented an apartment with a fridge that had an ice dispenser, but was not hooked up to water. I filled the compartment with frozen blueberries, and made a little "blueberries" tag to cover up the ice button. It was such a great way to start the day, using that to coat my cereal bowl with frozen fruit.
Please, please do not tell us we can also make cotton candy in the clothes dryer.
lol, this is great.... but not in the house!
that's super!! ha ha - I'd gain a hundred pounds.
Love it! What a good boyfriend.
This is AMAZING. I don't have an ice maker but I'm filing this away for future reference. I might do the blueberries trick mentioned above though....I don't exactly need a reason to eat more candy. But seriously, so cool!!
@ Honest Day: Hahahahahaha!!!!!! That would be brilliant
As an unashamed candyholic I would do this all year round if I had an ice dispenser. I love my ice, but I could bag it opt for skittles filling my glass.
@ MRSBERG: If your refrigerator dispensed Skittles, then you could add them to beer and make Skittlebrew!
Ours is disconnected from a water source, so half the freezer is basically useless. Using the ice dispenser for frozen peas would actually be pretty handy at my house!

Higher Ground
© Higher Ground, Nov 2007
'Higher Ground' by filmmakers Chris Alstrin and Alex Lavigne. Higher Ground celebrates mountain culture through the eyes of world-class climbers, focusing on the drive to explore their passion for the mountains and the climbing lifestyle. From big wall first ascents in Zion, Utah and winter alpine ascents in the Canadian Rockies to big wall ski descents in coastal British Columbia.
The cinematography is breathtaking but the unifying theme is lifestyle, the common bond that unites climbers around the globe. It's a year in the life. What motivates these athletes to court danger? Higher Ground celebrates mountain culture through the eyes of world-class climbers. The film focuses on these climbers' drive to explore, their passion for the mountains and the climbing lifestyle. From big wall first ascents in Zion, Utah and winter alpine ascents in the Canadian Rockies to big wall ski descents in coastal British Columbia, Higher Ground spotlights some of the continent's most inaccessible terrain and the people who thrive there. A lens into their boundary-breaking passion illustrates what mountain culture is: an obsession.
Featuring: Mike Anderson, John Chilton, Audrey Gariepy, Phil Gruber, Shawn Huisman, Sean Isaac, Lisa Korthals, Guy Lacelle, Rob Owens, Ines Papert, Rob Pizem, Andrew Querner, Scott Semple, and Josh Wharton.
Appearances By: Barry Blanchard, Jimmy Dunn, Jeff Lowe.
Release Date: 2007
Running Time: 85 Minutes
This was one DVD I was really looking forward to watching so you can imagine how disappointed I was when my review copy went missing in the post. At one point it looked like I was going to have to fork out my own cash, well the money I'd earmarked for my Mums Birthday present, if I was going to get to watch it. Fortunately for familial harmony Posing Productions (https://www.posingproductions.com/homepage.php) sent me a new copy and I must say it was worth the wait. In fact, if my mum had received this instead of the Body Shop 'Top to Toe' gift set she actually got I'm sure she'd have been a lot happier.
The film opens with some vistas of some beautiful mountains and if a film can get a Malhamite such as me thinking 'Blimey I need to get out to the hills' then it's already done half its job. The film then launches into a series of chapters each with a renowned climber taking the viewer to a favourite area or climb and although some of these feature the odd bolt they are all multi-pitch adventures in remote settings.
The first action is some modern mixed climbing in the Canadian Rockies. Bolted dry tooling is an aspect of climbing I've never been able to fathom and should be of no interest to me but this is a spectacular looking line on a truly monstrous cliff ending on some pretty hairy looking icicles. The film makers are to be applauded for capturing the scale of the cliff and the emptiness of the Rockies. The same comment could apply to the next section; a multi-pitch 5.12c free climb in Black Canyon, Colorado. Again, this is a swaggering line up a stupendous cliff and the memories of climbs like these will have you weeping as you shiver beneath a damp grit boulder or queue up for your 100th ascent of Consenting Adults during the British winter – everywhere in the world, it seems, has better climbing and better weather than us here in the damp UK. Whilst the situations might be, the film itself is not quite perfect. The climbers are obviously very familiar with the Black Canyon route and so their ascent lacks real drama even if the some of the run outs are a bit hair raising.
Higher Ground
© Higher Ground, Nov 2007
Next stop is British Columbia for some wilderness ice climbing and more lines to get anyone suffering the vagaries of Scottish conditions drooling, likewise the chapter featuring someone soloing the Ames Ice Hose. Again film quality and camera positions are top notch but these are very much 'guaranteed outcome' climbs for the protagonists and fail, slightly, to engage the viewer. Instead we get to sit back admire the view and the climbs. As I did so I was left wondering at the logistics that must have been required to make this film, this is true film making and deserves to succeed as it takes you to inspirational places other films can't reach.
Four more chapters complete film, all of which are of a very high standard and, whilst the action may not be edge of the seat stuff, it is of a very high standard and does a brilliant job of showcasing the diversity of adventure to be had in North America covering such things as a really funky looking route in Zion, extreme skiing and an interesting section about an actionadventure photographer. Each chapter is inspirational, as well filmed as anything you will have seen and will almost certainly leave you looking at the cost of transatlantic flights. Some of the chapters are padded out with interviews with climbers relevant to the action but as these are significant figures in the development of North American climbing such as Jeff Lowe, Sean Isaacs and Barry Blanchard (or is it Peter Stringfellow, I couldn't be sure?) these are worthwhile diversions.
I've not seen a better filmed or produced DVD on adventure climbing. If it lacks anything it's the element of uncertainty or danger surrounding the climbing but this is a reflection on the experience of the protagonists involved rather than the routes themselves which are breath taking and an order of difficulty beyond the ken of most of us. If multi-pitch climbing of any hue is your bag or if you are looking for something to maintain your psych for climbing over the winter then this is the DVD for you.

Game Night: The Most Beautiful Playing Cards
Apartment Therapy's Annual Guide
Style doesn't stop at wall color. If you're the type who loves to be coordinated from head to toe, you might find that you begin to wish every little thing in your home had its own matching flair. Treating yourself a beautiful deck of playing cards is a cheap thrill you can enjoy for years to come, whether as a playable set or just something pretty to rest on the coffee table.
I picked my favorite ten below, but if you're in the market for a beautiful deck, check out Bicycle (for the classics), Art of Play (a curated card superstore), and Deckstarter (the kickstarter for playing card design).
- Minim Playing Cards, $12
- Best Made Co. Cards, $8
- Misc. Goods Deck, $15
- Glitch Playing Cards, $20
- CMYK Playing Cards, $15.25
- Bohemia Playing Cards, $20
- Debbie Millman Playing Cards, $27
- Federal 52, $50
- Thick Lines, $15
- Anthropologie Metallic Playing Cards, $18
And a splurge...
Metro Deck, $550
I didn't want to include this set in my ten picks for game night, since I don't think I'd have my friends over for beer and a game of Euchre using a $550 deck. But if you're a playing card aficionado, this unique screen printed deck made from New York City subway cards could be the cornerstone of your collection.
And just for fun...
Fraggle Rock Playing Cards, $10
Who knew playing cards modeled after my favorite 80's kids' show could look so cool?

I have the Misc. Goods playing cards and love them! We jumped on during the fundraising campaign (Kickstarter, maybe?) and couldn't be happier with the finished product--beautiful designs and a great feel (weight, finish) to the cards. Thanks for the list!
The Misc. Goods deck is pretty sweet looking, but to be honest I never really thought this was a thing. If you want some funky playing cards check out your local antique co-op, the old card decks are really cool and typically run you way less $$.
The Fraggle Rock set is freaking genius though :)
Call me a sucker, but I was touched by the guy's story and I see the deck as 52 tiny art pieces rather than just a deck of cards--his art is amazing and extremely detailed. I have stacks of well worn old cards, but I feel good helping set this guy and his family back on their feet (plus I think we got 2 decks and a shirt for $30 or something).
And yes, I might need to go find myself a set of Fraggle Rock cards now!
Someone I went to school with put out a cool deck called Sultana through funding on Kickstarter. Check it out! http://decoplayingcards.com/home/?product=sultana-playing-cards-deck-pre-order
My grandparents collected packs of beautiful playing cards from several countries. When we went to visit, they and our parents played grown-up games of cards, betting for matches or pennies. My brother and I were allowed to choose a pack and we'd sit on the floor playing our games. For some reason, that always seemed to be the floor behind the sofa and from there I'd have a good view of all the empty Guiness bottles stacked in a corner.
Hooray for euchre! (A bunch of other Apartment Therapy people also play -- myself included!)
Can't forget Helveticards! I love mine.
@dabney you don't know how many decks of pretty playing cards I've passed up because the graphics keep them from being score cards :)
I had no idea there was such a Euchre following at AT! And Henry, I've never even thought about how some of these decks couldn't keep score!

A pregnant woman from Beaverdam experienced an extremely eventful delivery Monday morning.
Lorcan Mead couldn't wait to meet the world, so he pushed his way out as his mother and father, Terri and Adam Mead, were rushing through the St. Mary's Hospital parking lot.
Terri realized quickly this was going to be a truly special delivery.
"(Adam) just kept telling me to breathe through the contractions. I felt like they were coming back-to-back really strong," described Terri of her labor pains.
Terri and Adam had just parked and were beginning to make their way through the hospital's parking lot when Terri's water broke.
"Instantly, I felt like I needed to push. And I felt his head come out," continued Terri.
"I was thinking, 'This isn't normal,'" laughed Adam, at his wife's hospital bedside. Terri continued to hold Lorcan in her arms.
Adam yelled for help, as his wife yelled out in pain. At least three nurses rushed out of the building to the couple's aid.
"We laid her back down (on the pavement) because we did see the head," continued Adam.
The nurses held Terri's head and hands, making sure she was as comfortable as possible.
"Once they laid me down, they pulled my pants all the way down to my ankles," said Terri of the unexpected delivery.
"We decided it was time for her to push because (the baby's) umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck," added Adam. "I just reached down there, and out he popped."
Nearly two dozen hospital nurses and attendants swarmed the parking lot.
"It was a party in the parking lot," the couple laughed.
Terri says during those intense moments she didn't care where Lorcan decided to reveal himself.
"I just didn't care. I wanted him out… And I knew he was going to be safe," she continued.

Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can't outrun her past or her destiny for long. The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling's game of forbidden magic....
Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes never meant to get into the family business. But when you're the sister of Bram and the niece of Sherlock, vampire hunting and mystery solving are in your blood. And so, when two society girls go missing, there's no one more qualified to investigate. Now, the fierce Evaline and the logical Mina must resolve their rivalry, in order to navigate the advances of not just one, but three mysterious gentlemen, and solve a murder with only one clue: the strange Egyptian scarab.
"I Can't Wait for Book 2!"
Eff was born a thirteenth child. Her twin brother, Lan, is the seventh son of a seventh son. This means he's supposed to possess amazing talent - and she's supposed to bring only bad things to her family and her town. Undeterred, her family moves to the frontier, where her father will be a professor of magic at a school perilously close to the magical divide that separates settlers from the beasts of the wild. With wit and wonder, Patricia Wrede creates an alternate history of westward expansion that will delight fans of both J. K. Rowling and Laura Ingalls Wilder.
"History, Magic, Teens, & Not An Inkling of Romance"
In America's Gulf Coast region, where grounded oil tankers are being broken down for parts, Nailer, a teenage boy, works the light crew, scavenging for copper wiring just to make quota - and hopefully live to see another day. But when, by luck or chance, he discovers an exquisite clipper ship beached during a recent hurricane, Nailer faces the most important decision of his life: Strip the ship for all it's worth or rescue its lone survivor, a beautiful and wealthy girl who could lead him to a better life.
"Very good"
>"Lily?" My stomach dropped as a tall, dark-haired man stepped into view. Had he been hiding between the trees? "No. Sorry." Gulping, I took a step back. "I'm not Lily." He shook his head, a satisfied grin on his face. "No. You are Lily." "I'm Summer. You have the wrong person." For months, Summer is trapped in a cellar with the man who took her - and three other girls: Rose, Poppy, and Violet. His perfect, pure flowers. His family. But flowers can't survive long cut off from the sun, and time is running out....
How did Lev Calder move from an unwillingly escaped Tithe to a clapper? In this revealing short story, Neal Shusterman opens a window on Lev's adventures between the time he left CyFi and showed up at the Graveyard. Pulling elements from Neal Shusterman's critically acclaimed Unwind and giving hints about what is to come in the riveting sequel, UnWholly, this short story is not to be missed.
"As good as the 1st!!"
Harry Potter has been heralded as one of the most popular book series of all time and the philosophical nature of Harry, Hermione, and Ron's quest to rid the world of its ultimate evil is one of the many things that make this series special. The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy covers all seven titles in J.K. Rowling's groundbreaking series and takes fans back to Godric's Hollow to discuss life after death, to consider what moral reasoning drove Harry to choose death, and to debate whether Sirius Black is a man or a dog.

Fantastically done, so Luxemburg was the real thing that maintained/reassured everyone that the Pulch gave out good vibes? Is right or not? Just my way of looking at it for now - i'm sure i will re watch it some time in the future as i spread the joy you bring.

Pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. It makes the right side of the heart need to work harder than normal.
Alternative Names
Pulmonary arterial hypertension; Sporadic primary pulmonary hypertension; Familial primary pulmonary hypertension; Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension; Primary pulmonary hypertension; PPH; Secondary pulmonary hypertension
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The right side of the heart pumps blood through the lungs, where it can receive oxygen.
When the small arteries (blood vessels) of the lung become narrowed, they cannot carry as much blood. When this happens, pressure builds up. This is called pulmonary hypertension.
The heart needs to work harder to force the blood through the vessels against this pressure. Over time, the right side of the heart may become enlarged. At some point, not enough blood flows to the lungs to pick up oxygen and symptoms begin.
At this point, heart failure that involves the right side of the heart is present. This is called cor pulmonale.
Pumonary hypertension may be caused by:
- Any condition that causes chronic low oxygen levels in the blood
- Autoimmune diseases that damage the lungs, such as scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis
- Certain birth defects of the heart
- Certain diet medications
- Congestive heart failure
- History of a blood clot in the lung
- HIV infection
- Lung or heart valve disease
- Obstructive sleep apnea
In many cases the cause is unknown, in which case the condition is known as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). IPAH is rare. It affects more women than men.
If it is caused by a known medicine or medical condition, it is called secondary pulmonary hypertension.
Shortness of breath or light-headedness during activity is often the first symptom.
- Fast heart rate (palpitations) may be present
- Over time, symptoms occur with lighter activity or even while at rest
Other symptoms include:
- Ankle and leg swelling
- Bluish color of the lips or skin (cyanosis)
- Chest pain or pressure, usually in the front of the chest
- Dizziness or fainting spells
- Fatigue
- Weakness
People with pulmonary hypertension report good days and bad days.
Signs and tests
A physical examination may show:
- Abnormal heart sounds (especially a splitting of the second heart sound)
- Enlargement of the veins in the neck
- Feeling of a pulse over the breastbone
- Heart murmur
- Leg swelling
- Liver and spleen swelling
- Normal breathing sounds
In the early stages of the disease, the exam may be normal or almost normal. The condition may take several months to diagnose. Asthma causes similar symptoms and must be ruled out.
Tests may include:
- Cardiac catheterization
- Chest x-ray
- CT scan of the chest
- Echocardiogram
- Nuclear lung scan
- Pulmonary arteriogram
- Pulmonary function tests
- Sleep study
There is no known cure. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms. It is important to treat medical disorders that cause pulmonary hypertension, such as obstructive sleep apnea, lung conditions, and heart valve disorders.
Many new treatment options for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and other forms of pulmonary aterial hypertension are becoming available. Medicines used to treat pulmonary hypertension include:
- Ambrisentan (Letairis)
- Bosentan (Tracleer)
- Calcium channel blockers
- Diuretics
- Prostacyclin or similar medications
- Sildenafil
Your doctor will decide which medicine is best for you. You will be closely monitored during treatment to watch for side effects and to see how well you're responding to the medication. Never stop taking medicines without talking to your doctor.
Some patients are put on blood thinners to reduce the risk of blood clots in leg veins and lung arteries.
People with advanced cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension may need oxygen. If treatment with medications fails, suitable candidates may be helped by a lung or heart-lung transplant.
As the illness progresses, you will need to make changes in the home environment and get more help around the home.
Other important tips to follow:
- Avoid pregnancy
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting
- Avoid traveling to high altitudes
- Keep up to date with yearly flu and pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines
- Stop smoking
Expectations (prognosis)
The long-term outlook has been poor, but new therapies may produce better results. Some people with this condition may develop progressive heart failure that may lead to death.
Avoiding pregnancy is recommended.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
- You begin to develop shortness of breath when you are active
- Shortness of breath worsens
- You develop chest pain
- You develop other symptoms
Most patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension are treated at centers that specialize in the care of these patients.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is known for helping sick children, no matter the circumstances. One valley family is saying "thank you" to the hospital by participating in a St. Jude charity walk. Juan Salas is an energetic, healthy 5th grader. But just a little over a year ago, Juan's mom was rushing him to the ER."He couldn't move his arm. He couldn't hold a cup. He couldn't do anything," said Amelia Salas, Juan's mom. An MRI revealed Juan had had a stroke and that he'd need immediate surgery on a rare brain tumor."I couldn't believe it. I was actually in shock for a couple hours, like, it couldn't happen to the most wonderful kid in the world in my eyes," said Amelia Salas. A single parent without health insurance, Amelia turned to St. Jude for help."They won't turn down any child, no matter what the situation is, they'll help any child in need," said Amelia Salas. St. Jude flew Juan and Amelia to it's main research hospital in Memphis, TN.Over the next three months, Juan had a second brain surgery and radiation treatment. The hospital covered all expenses, from travel, to food, to medical care."I met a lot of doctors and they know what they're doing. They really helped me," said Juan Salas. Juan travels to Memphis every three months for check ups. This month marks the one year anniversary of completing his radiation therapy. Juan will celebrate by leading "Team Juan" in the St. Jude Give Thanks. Walk. in Phoenix."I can thank St. Jude for saving my life and raising money," said Juan Salas. "This is so near and dear to our hearts and like he said, I couldn't have said it better. Just helping not only him, but other kids like him," said Amelia Salas. Juan hopes to raise $500 for the walk and wants St. Jude to know how much he values its support. "I would say thank you for my life," said Juan Salas.
This year's St. Jude Give Thanks. Walk. in Phoenix happens November 23. Registration is free.
