Slowfood Saturday
Published: 2012-11-19 12:30:00 Tags: Menswear, Womenswear
Four fashion shops and a literature-shop, all located on Krukmakargatan, has invited four restaurants and a coffee shop slash roastery from the region to jointly create a pleasant experience with a focus on well-cooked, slow cooked food (slow food) and tailored and sustainable fashion. Saturday, November 24th is now known as Slow Food Saturday. Between the hours of 12-16 the restaurants Sjögräs, Steam, Södermalms Delikatesser and Tjoget together with Johan and Nyströms Kafferosteri will offer slow food and drinks inside the stores of Nitty Gritty, Nitty Gritty Grit Girl Store, Our Legacy, Papercut and Uniforms for the Dedicated.
Beyond Sofo, Millennium walks and plain chilling at Medis, there is a part of Södermalm that during almost ten years now has grown older, stronger and braver. The area extending from Mariatorget and all the way down to Hornstull is a driving and an entrepreneurial spirit that has during the years given birth to shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, theatres and hotels. Here you will find commitment and core values and a long-term thinking with a focus on sustainability and quality. We believe that more people would like what we do if they only knew that we were doing and have therefore created the Slow Food Saturday.
Nitty Gritty in Stockholm was founded in 1991 as a reaction to the increasingly homogenised clothing store chains that dominated trade in Sweden at the time. We value each product as much as we value the strength of its brand. Today we have one women's store, one men's store and a online shop where we offer men's and women's clothing, shoes, accessories, skin care and fragrances in a unique mix that constantly interpret the signs.
Steam serves dumplings, Asian-inspired soups and salads prepared with their own recipes and flavours as clean as possible. The raw materials are carefully selected and all that is served should be as fresh, locally grown and fairly as it can be.
Södermalms Delikatesser / Delikatessen Bistro Bar is housed in what was previously one of Stockholm's oldest fire stations from the late 1800's. The focus is French, and here you can enjoy classic French bistro dishes for both lunch and dinner.
Nitty Gritty Grit Girl Store (see Nitty Gritty above)
Our Legacy was founded in 2005 by Jockum Hallin and Cristopher Nying. Our Legacy currently operates two stores in Stockholm, a shop in Gothenburg and is found in approximately 230 of the best fashion boutiques around the world. The men's collection of Our Legacy combines the seriousness of a 90th century business look - confidence in sharp cuts - with the soft likes of artist - aesthetically experimental and emotional.
Sjögräs creates honest, well-prepared food from the classic French cuisine with a spice of Swedish influences. In addition to serving food from both sea and forest they carries Northern Europe's largest rum selection. Over 18 years Sjögräs has housed Södermalm and has become a well known classic among Stockholm's restaurants
Papercut provides a personalized selection of international magazines, DVDs and books. You'll also find gift items such as Penguin products. A perfect blend of inspiration and pleasure. In short, a deli counter for the popular culture enthusiasts.
Johan & Nyström founded his coffee roastery in November 2004. It all started with a bunch of passionate coffee enthusiasts who wanted to change the Swedish coffee culture and convey a sense of craftsmanship, exclusive roasting techniques, more fun, and just more and organic coffee.
The brand Uniforms for the Dedicated has shaped a name and expression by combining playful design with environmental awareness of products and projects in fashion, furniture, music and film. Creative Processes coloured by a passion for the previously unexplored combined with a focus on contemporary craft and quality, this with the ambition of creating timeless products for the inquisitive gentleman.
Tjoget consists of three parts; the restaurant Linje Tio is one of those. Linje Tio's goal is to take their guests on a continental trip through southern Europe. Chef Daniel Gustavsson, formerly Gordon Ramsay's in London and head chef at F12 in Stockholm, interprets Uniforms for the Dedicated by a warm merger between the French Riviera and Stockholm autumn. Slow cooked, of course.
The Bench - Kristian Pohl
It's not an understatement to say that Kristian Pohl is a talented and successful photographer. He has worked with a wide range of customers such as Regeringskansliet, Red Cross and many of Sweden's biggest magazines. He is also one of our regulars and most well dressed customers
The Bench - Paulina Liffner
This is Paulina Liffner von Sydow, the Swedish bag- and accessory designer that in a very short time has become the favourite among a number of style icons in Stockholm. When she came by the Nitty Gritty head office the other day to show her next collection for our buying team, we kindly asked her to strike a pose at `The Bench´ for us. Because in our concerns, she´s just as stylish as the fashionable crowd that so highly appreciate her bags.
The Bench - Oscar Richt
If you are getting away with a look that is some kind of a cross over between 70´s porn star and Jude Laws character Dickie Greenleaf from The Talented Mr Ripley, you definitely got some sense of style.
Spalwart, A.T.P. & Little Liffner
Just in between the menswear international fashion weeks and trade shows and the up and coming international women's shows in Paris and London, Sweden manages to squeeze in a kind of fashion week as well. It's not something that Nitty Gritty in particular is a part of, and as you know, we don't work with that many Swedish brands. Main reason for that is that we first and foremost try to offer a unique mix of brands for our home market, and since most Swedish multibrand stores offer a big selection of Swedish and Scandinavian brands, we try to do it differently. We do like our fellow Swedish business colleagues, and have the greatest respect for their work, and some of them have made it into the Nitty Gritty concept.
The Bench – Idil Omar
Idil Omar is one of our locals. She lives nearby the Nitty Gritty Stores and became a regular when she moved to Stockholm 5 years ago from the south of Sweden. This hot and steamy Tuesday, properly dressed out due to the weather circumstances, she paid us a visit for some inspiration and autumn `New Arrivals´ for herself and also to find a birthday gift for a friend...
The Bench - Mr. Andrew Spiers
This is Andrew Spiers, we've known him for some time now. He represents Drakes, Johnstons Cashmere and Sanders on the Scandinavian market. Andrew is a true English gentleman who moved to Sweden many years ago for two reasons alone, love for a girl and the fact that Pubs are open late...
The Bench - Lords of Hometown
You know when you ask a person if they are good at something and they shyly look away, mumbling something about; "Yeah, I guess I'm ok at it…". The only thing you can know for sure when getting that kind of answer is that the person is hell of a something, probably pro...
The Bench - Adam & Jen
This is Adam and Jen. We had the pleasure of their visit in the Nitty Gritty men- and women stores the other day, flying in all the way from San Francisco. Adam was wearing a very nice Barena Venezia coat and we started chatting with him about it. It turned out that he works for the store Unionmade in San Francisco, a store well known for it´s genuine offerings of high quality clothing, not too far from our concept and how we work with our own Nitty Gritty Stores...
The Bench - Tim Dörpmund
The fashion journalist Tim Dörpmund was in Stockholm for the first time the other day. He came to visit Nitty Gritty to interview our Creative Director Hugo. Tim works for the German magazine TextilWirtschaft, a daily newspaper covering everything from stats to trends in the global shoe- and textile industry.
Nitty Gritty Entertainment System…
You have got to check out our website. Nitty Gritty is first and foremost a retail and agency business, but we are also children of our time. Today we are happy about the possibility we have to work our way around as stylists, bloggers, DJ's, photographers and digital magazine producers. Because that's pretty much what it is to run an online business if you want to entertain, inspire, educate and involve people that share our passion and interest for style, culture and clothing. The result is right here, where you are now, at www.nittygrittystore.com
Nitty Gritty Store Hours #5 – Art Alfie
The Bench - Namktyu Chun
Our eyes are well educated in the fashion scouting game. For example, we could easily spot a Doctoral Researcher in Fashion from quite some distance. Of course it helps if he´s wearing a bright yellow raincoat. Namktyu Chun from New York "stopped by" the Nitty Gritty Menswear store the other day on his way to Helsinki...
Roll on towards lazier days…
We are heading towards lazier days, summer season means vacation and vacation means dressing down without loosing style.
The Bench - Maj-La Pizzelli
A true grit girl is Maj-La Pizzelli. After spending a major part of her career building a strong design and production organization at iconic Swedish fashion brand Filippa K she decided that the time had come to try to fly on her own…
The Bench - Niclas Lydeen
Niclas Lydeen is a Swedish visual artist and Art Director and founder of the perfume brand Agonist. Niclas and his wife Christine founded the label in 2008 and have had great success internationally getting in to some of the worlds finest boutiques and department stores.

Sales of Orwell's '1984' Soar Amid NSA Surveillance Disclosure
Posted on Jun 11, 2013
Big Brother is indeed watching us. After the revelation of the National Security Agency's top-secret snooping programs, sales of George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" soared on Amazon. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Centennial edition of Orwell's classic work had shot up nearly 5,000 percent on Amazon's Movers & Shakers list, while a 60th anniversary edition was also among the site's best-sellers.

Last night, I had the weirdest pain in my abdomen. It was like pressure, sort of like a cramp but not like the kind you get with AF. It hurt so bad that I had to take two Tylenol. It reminded me of what it felt like with my last pregnancy (the one that ended in loss, so naturally that worries me).
I'm also not so sure about my O day anymore. It didn't dawn on me yesterday that I had a negative opk the day before (I only took one, which is the one I found in my cabinet). I put in a fake temp for tomorrow, and FF gave me dotted CH's for O'ing on CD 16, so apparently even they aren't sure. Looking at my chart, I also could have O'd on CD 13 or 14 and just had a backdrop temp.
I haven't had the pain today, but it's been kinda uncomfortable at times.
What is going on in there? LOL.

Freedom in a Syringe
by Anton M.
: :
"In those days," continued Ishvar, "it seemed to me that that was all one could expect in life. A harsh road strewn with sharp stones and, if you were lucky, a little grain."
"And later?"
"Later I discovered there were different types of roads. And a different way of walking on each."
— Rohinton Mistry, A Fine Balance, page 468
: :
A brown-eyed woman sixty three years of age eyed the black piece of plastic in her lap. Colorful round buttons formed rows and columns for reasons she could not grasp, and as she turned it upside down, she observed the two barrel-shaped metal objects in a rectangular hole. The woman frowned. She could've sworn she knew its purpose, but it didn't come to her.
As she raised her eyes and found a girl rustling around the living room, she couldn't recall the reason, either.
"Where are you going?"
Her unsurprised daughter buttoned up her grey coat as she responded, "I already told you. I'm going to take a few extra classes for ballet. I'll be back at nine."
Momentarily satisfied, Renee nodded and moisturized her lips with sweetened white tea. "You're out too much. Remember when we used to sit and play scrabble for the whole day?" Her eyes lit up. "We could do it tomorrow! Do you think Charlie would like that?"
Bella hunched and shut her eyes as she inhaled. She was going to be so late she didn't know if her temporary teacher would still be there to wait for her. She had had to feed Alice and put her into bed after her seizure; Alice had a television to keep her company, but Bella reminded herself to ask her neighbor Jasper to stop by. She couldn't count on her mother. She already worked at a restaurant during weekends and Tuesdays to help her family.
Losing a father once had been bad enough, now Bella should've had to bring the news to her mother every time she asked. But she didn't.
"Yes." Bella pursed her lips. "Ask him later."
Renee visibly perked up and smiled. "I will."
Her attention was caught by Dr. Phil. Renee's eyes were glazed and hand shook a little. Her puffy silver hair surrounded her wrinkle-covered face and made her seem much older than she was. Renee had been forty three at the time Alice was born and forty five when she gave birth to Bella. The youngest daughter had never asked how her mother had the courage to have another child after the genetic accident of the first one. She simply didn't think Renee would be able to answer that. Bella kissed her on the forehead.
"Take care of yourself. I'll be right back."
The woman, taken aback by the action, tore her eyes from the television, and jerked back. "Who are you?"
Bella made sure she had keys in her pocket before she hauled a bag over her shoulder and left. The door clicked locked. She hopped downstairs and knocked five times on the scratched door. Her downstairs neighbor, a twenty-three year old blonde bohemian who studied to become a psychologist greeted her with a genuine smile. Bella liked to think that Jasper would have accepted her offer to date had he not been openly gay. Bella, apparently, had little experience distinguishing between a straight male and a gay one. She blamed her upbringing.
"Hey, Jazz. I need a favor."
"Hi ballerina," he responded, munching on a gum. "Wanna come in for a drink?"
Bella impatiently shook her head. "I'm sorry, not today. I just wanted to know if you could check on my sister in an hour or so. I already gave Alice her medicine, so you don't have to do anything. Just check if she's breathing and all." She dropped keys into his hands and smiled. "Thanks."
Rather amused, Jasper chuckled. "You already seem to have made the choice for me."
Bella crunched her face. "No, I just… I really need to know Renee isn't making her drink sangria. In her state of mind, I wouldn't be surprised. Will you help me?"
"Always beating around the bush." Jasper set the keys on a hanger. "Of course I'll help."
"You're a life-saver," gushed Bella and kissed him on his cheek. "See you later! I'll make it up to you."
Before Jasper could respond, Bella jumped down the stairs and disappeared around the corner. Jasper returned to his scratched leather couch and continued to read The 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene. He munched on his apple-flavored gum and turned the page.
: :
The minute hand clicked behind the faded glass and pointed toward XII; an hour hand continued the vertical line in the other direction. The tall man passingly noticed, strode toward the low bench where his old hand-sewn backpack rested, and set aside his glasses. He swiped his forehead with a towel, lit a bluish halogen light in the corner and put on his contact lenses. He revealed a white roundish bottle with a pink label. In black capitalized letters, it read, 'VALPROIC ACID.' It was 2-propylpentanoic acid, or C8H16O2, a fairly simple chemical formula; most commonly used in cases of depression, bipolar disorder, epilepsy and schizophrenia.
He habitually inserted the plastic syringe, turned the bottle upside down and pulled the plunger until it read 7 milliliters. He set it aside, uncovered Snickers, gulped it down and absent-mindedly eyed the pink liquid in his little plastic syringe. After a minute of staring, he calmly raised his chin and emptied the barrel into his mouth. It tasted awful, like a bad cherry candy with a sour-bitter side-taste. He recalled an idea from the father of toxicology who had proposed that only dosage differentiated poison from harmless matter. Edward couldn't recall the author's name, but agreed nevertheless. He washed the liquid down with half a bottle of water and washed the syringe in the bathroom.
There were no new messages in his phone; not even from his girlfriend.
The minute hand pointed at III as he turned off the light and continued to stretch. The fitness center had a view of the rainy Vineland Road. Considering that it was the end of the rush hour, the traffic could be seen as fairly light. But instead of worrying Edward, it frustrated him. According to Rose, her friend was "a punctual and conscientious girl." His sister's estimation of the girl, Betty or Becky or Barbara — he did not, in fact, care enough to ask — had not only been misguided by personal opinion, it was wrong. Edward figured that perhaps the girl backed out and decided not to come. After all, if she did show her face, she would already be forty five minutes late.
Edward decided to wait for another fifteen minutes.
He had briefly met her a couple of times, but they hadn't spent enough time together to get past the commonplace politeness. Rose had explained that the girl needed private lessons or she would fall behind in her lessons in Central Florida Ballet Academy. Edward had immediately refused. He hadn't taught anyone since the Russian girl Tanya two years ago, and in the world of ballet training, two years could suppress even the most skillful dancer's talents. Being fit was crucial. But in either case, he did not dance ballet any more. Edward attended the University of Florida, School of Architecture, and had his Master's Research Project to think about. He had no will to waste his time with amateurs. But Rose, knowing his weakest spot, played on his fears and after an hour-long discussion, forced him to backtrack from his refusal. His sister had only known B-something for a year, but somehow, the new girl had not been intimidated by Rose. They befriended. Edward couldn't understand how Rose could have something in common with such a forgettable girl.
Girls' dressing room's light was switched on and the wooden floor reflected it; the old room that used to be a ballet studio was now occasionally used as a spare room for aerobics and Latin Ballroom dancing. It creaked a lot, but it was perfect for practices like this one.
Edward sat on the only window sill, waiting as he listened to her rushed footsteps, the rustling of clothes and a peep that must have signaled the girl switching off her phone. He realized he was more frustrated by her presence than the alternative. Had she not turned up, he would have simply had proven his point to Rose. He would have had more time for his project. He would not have had to wear tights.
The girl appeared and closed the door. "Hello?"
Her scared voice echoed in the empty room. The curtains in front of the windows made the room quite dark, and Edward decided not to answer to see how she would act. The girl started to feel the walls for a light-switch, but after she found one, she switched it on and dropped her phone to the sound of Edward's voice.
"You're late."
A short pale girl stared at Edward with wide eyes before she picked up her mobile phone and set it on the bench.
"I'm sorry, I..." her voice faded as she straightened. "I had a few things to handle." She averted her eyes.
"Do you want to be here?"
She eyed the beige walls, the dark wooden floor, the wall-size mirror and the lonely window a side of which Edward had opened earlier. She stepped closer to the center of the room, but hesitated. "Um, yes."
"No but," she argued. "I do want to be here."
"Are you sure?"
"And what is your name?"
If she was surprised by Edward's lack of knowledge, she concealed it well. "Bella."
"I'm Edward."
"I know," replied the girl. Edward eyed her as he pushed himself off the only window sill and walked next to her. She cocked her head back to see his face. Edward stood a little awkwardly with his hands on his sides and the awful taste of medicine still in his mouth.
"Here's how this is. Everyone can find excuses. If a person doesn't want to do something, they'll find an excuse not to do it. Do you agree?"
She was a little taken aback by Edward's quiet insistence, but recovered quickly. He hoped she hadn't expected a pat on the back and a smile. "I think so."
"I expect you to take this seriously."
She gulped. "Of course, sir—Edward." Gaining confidence, Bella proudly lifted her chin and looked into his eyes. "I do want to be here." Her expression hung between fear and childish eagerness. She had brown eyes, matching hair in a bun and a child-like quality in her uncomfortable posture. She wore grey tights, a darker T-shirt with the words 'Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.' The piece of cloth was too big for her. Edward's eyes lingered on the mocking sentence long enough for Bella to notice and shift her weight on her right foot. He continued without a comment.
"You'll have plenty of time to prove it," he said. "I do not care what your excuse is today, but you will not be late again. If an emergency comes up, I expect you to notify me. You have my number. Understood?"
"Good. I'll give you half an hour to warm up before we begin. Today is just a matter of understanding your weaknesses and setting goals. Do you have any questions?"
She lowered her eyes and muttered to his chest. "Just one."
He raised his eyebrows, but didn't comment. She realized he was not about to urge her to continue and cleared her throat. "Just one. I— um, I wanted to know if there's any possibility we could change the training on Tuesday to Thursday?"
"And leave Monday unchanged?"
"Um, yes." She was quick to back-track. "I mean, we can leave it as it is, but I can't guarantee I won't be late again next Tuesday."
He eyed her forehead in silence. To put his life-long friend's hypothesis to practice, Edward had Taekwondo on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings at 6251 Commerce Park Drive. It was a ten-minute drive, but the practice itself lasted for two hours. He shook his head. "Thursday is unsuitable."
Her face fell.
"Unless you agree to come here at ten in the evening."
She finally stopped looking at his chest area and locked eyes with him. "I wouldn't mind at all. But what about Friday?"
"I prefer to keep all Fridays unoccupied."
She offered Edward a pursed-lips smile. It wasn't irritated, but not particularly fond either; just distantly polite. "Thursday at ten it is."
He nodded, put on his CD and not long after, Jem's 24 started to play. Bella frowned, probably waiting for an excerpt from Schubert's Rosamunde or Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers. For the first few seconds, she simply stared at him with wide eyes. He shrugged. Eleven seconds into the song, the violins joined in, and Bella started to get Edward's idea. She offered him a genuine smile. Edward returned a meager variation of it.
For the first fifteen minutes, he observed Bella's five leg and arm positions and other movements. She had a problematic posture, and while her leg movement was good (but not great), she didn't seem to know what to do with her hands. Her coordination left much to be desired. Edward didn't think he had ever seen such an ungraceful ballerina before. She got the rhythm, she knew the movements, but she lacked fluidity. She lacked grace.
When Bella had been in the focus of his attention for a quarter of an hour, he stretched and joined the warm-up. She knew Edward kept his eyes on her and probably fumbled more than she would have if he hadn't been there, but as a ballerina, she would have to get used to the attention sooner or later. The Who by Baba O'Riley let him know half an hour was almost over. Edward stopped moving.
"What do you think are the things you should work on?" asked Edward over the music.
She paused and looked at him. "Um, I think jumps and coordination. And leg movement."
"We'll get to jumps. You're occasionally uncoordinated, we'll have to fix that. But you're wrong about leg movement. Your hand movement is far worse. And your posture is similar to a person who's afraid of being hit. I'm not about to hit you. Straighten your back."
She slowly, as if testing the waters, leaned back her shoulders. He stepped in front of her, placed his hands on her ribcage and squeezed gently, tilting her upper body away from him. She flushed. Edward huffed under his breath.
"Bella, I'm not here to feel you up. I have zero intention to seduce you. Do you trust me?"
"Um, yes."
He didn't want to hear hesitation. Edward place a hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder, letting her know how she should stand. "Raise your chin."
She tilted it up.
"There. This is how you will stand from now on, either dancing, buying hygiene products or being belittled by your new teacher. Don't look like you accept humiliation. Don't accept humiliation."
She didn't blink as she nodded slowly.
"Good. Now, your legs aren't long enough for a classical ballet dancer, so you'll need to work twice as hard to get it a hundred percent right. That's why I know you'll be working hard — you have no choice. Don't take it as a disadvantage; take it as an opportunity to prove yourself. Your hand movement is almost zero. No coordination whatsoever. We'll work on a few pure coordination exercises. Do you agree to dedicate your time to that?"
She gave Edward the polite pursed lips smile. "Yes."
"You switch postures too abruptly. One movement needs to grow to the other smoothly, you need to look more like you're gliding or about to gain invisible wings. Not like you discovered a snake from your drawer. And doing crutches, you breathe randomly. You need to exhale when your muscles are tense — raising your head and arms — and inhale when your muscles relax — lowering them. Remember that. Who are your ballet teachers?"
"Um, what does that have to do with anything?"
"More than you know. Who are they?"
"There's Gary Banner, James Herby, Jessica Stanley..."
"Don't listen to a word Banner says, try to watch his movements instead. He explains in a way only the Greek understand. Be careful with Herby, the rumors are not exaggerating. Don't get too close to him. But he has connections, so pay attention when one of the heads of ballet studios decides to pay a visit. Stanley is afraid of being firm, so when she says 'you should' take it as a 'must.' Do they comment on your hand movement?"
"A little. They're more worried about my legs."
"The way you were built is important, but not crucial. Focus is crucial. When they criticize your legs, pay no attention. Just work twice as hard. Why are you wearing a T-shirt at least three sizes too big for you?"
She stepped out of his hands and averted her eyes. "Um, is it important?"
"Yes. I can't see your movements under that tent you're wearing."
She flushed a little, but gave him no answer. This time, Edward decided to push her. "Is there a specific reason?"
"It's embarrassing."
"I can see that. I'm a guy who's been to a ballet school, I know all about embarrassing. Why?"
Tentatively, Bella stared at the floor as she muttered, "My breasts are too big."
"I see." He showed no emotion. "What do you have underneath this tent?"
She flushed further. "Um, a sports top."
"Excuse me?"
"Strip. Take off your tent."
She pursed her lips, and not as a smile this time. She took it off, threw it on the bench and crouched worse than before. He stepped closer and placed his hands on her shoulders, leaning them back. "Hey. No hunching." He took a quick glance at her problem, and wasn't surprised it was mostly created by the teachers and co-dancers, if not her mind. "C-cup could be a problem, but I assume you are B. Most ballet dancers are A as I understand. You don't have much to worry about."
She frowned and hesitated. "The teachers think they are."
"The teachers think they are morons?"
She huffed a chuckle. "That they are too big."
This time, she laughed. Her face was still red, but Edward seemed to convince her to let go of her tent. He released her shoulders and simply stood in front of her. "Do you have any questions?"
"It's not a question, but... um. This seems more like a lesson of confidence and movement than actual ballet. I—I think I imagined something else."
"Are you unhappy with this so far?"
"No, just surprised."
"We'll get to the ballet part. Right now, you need to have your fundament strengthened. Only then we'll get to the serious part. Do you have a specific date or will we finish with the lessons when you've reached our goals and improved your movements?"
"Um, I'd agree on both. Our grade has an audition for The Nutcracker on the 13th of October. We all have parts in it, so if I'm not good enough for a better part, I'll probably be one of the background dancers. I'll need help after that, too."
"But you would like to dance one of the main parts."
She lifted one of her shoulders and smiled slightly. "Of course. But I'm not good enough and I know people in my class much more likely to be chosen as main dancers."
Edward stared at her eyes without blinking for so long it made Bella uncomfortable. She lowered her gaze. He continued, "What would you say if I told you that you can have one of the main parts? With enough focus."
Bella shook her head. "That's a month away. I won't be good enough quickly enough."
"But I'll teach you to learn. You'll practice. If that's what you want, you can have it, but you can't wriggle out of any practice. No excuses."
She contemplated, but had already figured she would try her best under his guidance. She nodded, and suddenly, a question her schoolmates (and Bella) had pondered on slipped out of her mouth.
"If you're good enough to teach others, why did they throw you out of ballet school?"
She paled as she realized her straight-forward question. He curtly shook his head, acting as if he heard nothing, walked to the stereo and put on Port de bras, Etudes II by Robert Long. For the next two hours, he guided her dancing and showed her coordination exercises to practice for the next Monday. She noticed the way he acted more indifferently toward her than before, and considered apologizing, but couldn't gather her guts to do it.
"Do you want to do a jump together? Pas de deux?" inquired Edward when Wendy Boots came on; the last song, just like the first one, had little to do with classical ballet. Bella hadn't realized Edward spoke of her for full ten seconds before she snapped out of it.
"You mean with me?"
"No, with the poltergeist standing behind you," answered Edward impatiently. "With you, of course."
"Um. I'm not sure how good I am at that, but we can try."
"We can start with the promenade and the fish before attempting a jump," said Edward. Bella hesitatingly took a position on pointe. He placed a hand on her waist and walked around her, turning her body. She had no problems keeping balance, but she flushed.
It continued to annoy Edward. "Do I make you uncomfortable?"
Bella lowered her heels to the ground. "A little. I'm prone to blush, though, so just ignore it."
Irritated, Edward sighed and waited as Bella took an arabesque position. He lifted her as she folded her bottom leg up, and swung her back so she could make a curve close to the ground.
"You're too stiff. You were flexible before."
Bella pursed her lips. Why couldn't he be satisfied with anything?
"I'm sorry."
"I don't care you're sorry. I want to feel you bend as you did before," scolded Edward, unpleased. "Are you scared of me or men in general?"
She held his gaze. "I'm not afraid of you. Or men."
"Then prove it."
She repeated the fish seven times before Edward was remotely satisfied with her performance. It was almost nine o'clock when he trusted her to trust him. He wanted her to jump into his arms from quite far.
Bella shook her head. "You're insane. That's a risky thing to do. I'll crush you and then we'll both end up in the hospital."
"Is it just me or do you always refuse to oblige orders?" snapped Edward.
Bella shut her eyes and took a deep breath, much like she did when her mother would ask the same questions over and over again. She reminded herself that he was, after all, her teacher, and she was in no position to be honest. It's you. You're a pathological perfectionist.
Edward, having seen her reaction, asked with a calmer voice, "Have you ever fed medicine to a cat?"
"I— Excuse me?"
"Have you?"
She had noticed his tendency to ask seemingly irrelevant questions, but this surprised her so much she forgot her irritation. Bella frowned. "I haven't. I used to have a dog when I started to go to school, but it ran away when I was twelve."
Edward shove a hand through his hair. "I have. We had a cat named Kate who needed to have some pill against having kittens. I held her down between my legs and put it between her yaw. I succeeded, but she started to clapperclaw and in the end, I think I was more harmed than she was. I still have the scars."
Bella continued to scowl. It felt like he had suddenly decided have a conversation about your favorite Mozart composition with your horse.
"Edward — Are you alright?"
He shrugged and offered her a faint smile. "Yes. I actually have a point. You're me. I'm the kitten. If you fall, I'm the one to get hurt."
Bella let out an awkward chuckle. "'cause that's encouraging. I don't want to be responsible for your death."
"Like you have the chance of hurting me," said Edward, growing frustrated again. "All I ask is for you to try."
Bella took a moment to eye him with skepticism before she turned around and put his CD on shuffle. Adagio in G-minor by Tomaso Albinoni started to play. She faced him, took the moment to brace herself and tiptoed around him before gaining ground and jumping into his arms. She held her breath. He caught her, twirled her around and solemnly placed her on the floor.
"See, that wasn't so bad."
Edward stopped the music, strolled toward his bag and left Bella nearly breathless in the middle of the floor. He picked up his backpack and turned about to bid her goodbye, but his sewn bag tore open and filled the floor with items. Bella rushed to help him. Edward attempted to shrug her off, but she would not go. Thus, in the middle of papers and a towel lay a white bottle with a pink label and an awfully familiar smell.
"Why do you need this?" questioned Bella. She understood the purpose of the medicine, but Edward possessing a bottle she could not comprehend. Without uttering a word, Edward snapped the bottle from her hands and threw it into his broken backpack.
He held the bag in front of him with two hands and nodded as a goodbye. Bella sat alone on the floor, watching the dressing room's door silently close. She stood up, took her coin and turned off the lights.
: :
Edward picked up the remnants of his bag and searched for the key in the pocket of his jeans. The white one-storied building on the neat-lawn Chestnut Street in Clermont sat in the middle of other mundane one-storied buildings. It was a thirty minute drive from Vineland Road. Up until last month, Edward hadn't come to his father's place often, but ever since he began looking for a new apartment to live in, Edward did not have a choice. He crashed at Carlisle's place.
Having unlocked the door, Edward walked through the hallway and into the tidy kitchen, where he could finally set aside his broken backpack. He turned on the lights and opened a brown pack of Tim Hortons. The package derived from a coffee shop in Ottawa where his mother worked. She provided enough Arabica coffee to last a lifetime. Perhaps she felt guilty she moved away from her children after convincing them to settle in the States, but without exceptions, the same brown package arrived every first week of the month.
Edward felt his knees buckle as he walked toward the fridge. He gripped the counter in vain before he collapsed to the floor. His body started to shake.

Are we REALLY out of toothpaste?
by Amanda
posted Apr 22 2013 2:19PM
Yesterday the Fiance and I ran errands and had a lazy day. It was pretty awesome. While we were wandering through Target he said, "we're totally out of toothpaste." We grabbed out usual Crest 3D White and carried on. When we got back home, I brought the new toothpaste to the bathroom where I found the old tube in the trash. I don't know if you can tell from the top photo or not, but it doesn't really LOOK empty . . . and it wasn't!
I decided to cut open the toothpaste tube to see just how wasteful we really are. Thus, the bottom photo.
I was able to squeeze THAT MUCH toothpaste out of the bottom of the tube after cutting it open! EYE OPENING to say the least. This is totally going to make me think twice the next time I think we're ALL OUT! That's a lot of product!

Hey fast07st,
I just purchased a 2007 Focus ST 2.3 yesterday with all the specs you wrote about. The only thing I'm wondering is that there's an AUX button on the head unit but nowhere can I find the AUX jack/plug. I'm assuming there is not one so I would have to run a wire with an output. Other than that, I LOVE the car. It's my first stick. Any tips or add-ons you've heard about performance or aesthetically wise that are available?

In President Obama's first term, Republicans made a lot of hay by pointing out that our entitlement programs are on an unsustainable path, and that argument was supported by the Simpson-Bowles bipartisan commission to fix the long-term deficit.
School choice programs are a flashpoint in a few elections this year.
With everything that has happened this week on ISIL and the crisis in Iraq and Syria, President Obama has not emerged with a decisive leadership strategy. This has left critics of the Administration in a place to counter the Obama narrative and push strategies of their own.
The estate tax - known pejoratively as the "death tax" - is a tax made for the purposes of "fairness" and justice, but it raises very little money and is mildly harmful to the economy.
President Obama made his big primetime speech addressing ISIS this week, underwhelming both conservatives and progressives at the same time. After the speech, GOP foreign policy stalwart John McCain had some choice words - saying President Obama made "a very weak argument."
Last year, budget fights caused the federal government to shut down for a few days. This year, Republicans look to be planning a "clean" continuing resolution, setting government funding levels at the same place they've been at for this year.
The community of gamers on the internet is in full-blown meltdown, from industry sites to Twitter. It's been dubbed #GamerGate by the Twitter crowd, although the origin of that term is unknown.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics at the U.S. Department of Labor is out with their jobs report on August's economic situation. The report is a huge, huge miss.
While Harry Reid rants about the Koch Brothers, big money liberal donor Tom Steyer escapes the scrutiny of the money-in-politics crowd. But make no mistake, Steyer is every bit the force in politics that the Koch brothers are.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee released "Giopi: Mission Majority" this week to wide coverage across the web. But is it any good?
Every major corporation has a leader, and most of them have political views. This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. Many of them also have Political Action Committees that are actively involved in politics. Again, should not be shocking.
A new report obtained by Fox News from the Texas Department of Public Safety indicates that elements of ISIS are interested in the U.S.-Mexico border as a means of entry into the United States.
Burger King has agreed to purchase Tim Hortons, a Canadian food service chain, and has re-ignited the debate over "tax inversions." If Burger King gets its way, it will relocate its global headquarters to Canada for tax reasons.
Yesterday the Democratic National Committee attacked GOP Sen. Rand Paul for holding a "blame America" stance and for a "retreat from the world."
What's interesting is the CBO's analysis of the makeup of the labor force.
What does seem clear is that this is, at best, on the fringes of what should be considered for publicly-funded research. If there's a public goods angle here, it's difficult to see.
President Obama used his weekly radio address to push the renewal of the Export-Import bank.
Many analysts subscribe to the theory that the Congressional GOP is the main source of all dysfunction on Capitol Hill. Their monolithic will to block progress, this theory goes, impedes legislation on Capitol Hill and there's really nothing anyone can do about it but ask constituents to apply pressure.
"Aloof." "Cool." "Above the fray." These are all characteristics that have been used to describe President Obama and likely characteristics he would use to describe himself. President Obama came to Washington promising to end the partisan rancor that has come to define lawmaking in the nation's capitol.
Last weekend at the RedState Gathering, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus addressed an assembled crowd of hundreds of conservative activists, explaining how he's transforming the RNC and trying to turn it into an electoral force beyond off-year elections.

Chairman and CEO Aubrey McClendon has taken out up to $1.1 billion in personal loans against his stake in a perk called the Founder Well Participation Program. The perk allows him to invest up to 2.5 percent in each well drilled by the company, although he must pay his share of the upfront drilling costs. Shares fell 5 percent on news of the personal loans. close Your browser does not support iframes. April 20: The first of several shareholder lawsuits is filed against Chesapeake, its board and McClendon. The lawsuit claimed inadequate disclosures on McClendon's loans against his stake in the well program and potential conflicts of interest because his lenders also did business with the company. Chesapeake files a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing some additional details on the founder well program. April 26: Chesapeake and McClendon agree to end the founder well program before its expiration in 2015. The company's board said it will review McClendon's financing transactions with third parties that also had a business relationship with Chesapeake. McClendon sends out a separate disclosure statement saying he has been borrowing money to cover his share of costs in the company's drilling program since 1993. McClendon and his affiliated companies owed $846 million under the program. The estimated value of the production from the wells was worth $852 million as of Dec. 31, he said. Reuters, citing an unidentified source, said the SEC has opened an "informal inquiry" into the founder well program. Continue reading this story on the...

Amitabh Bachchan generally called Big B in grimy life had appeared in more than 200 motion pictures. He is known for his significant voice and has been a storyteller for a few tasks. He is one of our country's most prominent enormous names. On eleventh of October, the aficionados of Big B laud the birthday of a man who has held quick in the wake of various torments. On this day there is a celebration of quality and most of each one of the, a celebration of character untainted by the fancies of present day society. He for the most part had a smile on top of, it doesn't matters what he needs to stand up to. By what means would we have the capacity to disregard him standing and smiling despite when he was paying off account holders of 90 crores of rupees because of his sinking association Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL).
Amitabh Bachchan grabbed his degree in science stream from Kirori Mal School in badwap, Delhi. He is an offspring of an acclaimed craftsman Harivansh Rai Bachchan also, his mother Teji Bachchan was a neighborhood of Punjab. He was going about as a load delegate for the transportation firm Bird and Co yet later on left it to start his calling in Acting. In 1969, Saat Hindustani was his presentation film and he won his first National honor as a Best New comer. Later on in 1971, he was regarded as best supporting Actor for tossing in a supporting part with Rajesh Khanna in Anand. After this movie his work took an uncommon climb and he kept rising. He fulfilled his First Filmfare Best Actor reward for film Amar Akbar Anthony in 1977. He was one of the Top Action Star in 1970s for his hit motion pictures like Zanjeer, Deewar and Sholay. After a foremost incident happened while shooting for a trap scene in the film Coolie in 1982, he started feeling feeble both objectively and physically, and appreciated a relief from acting.He got a sponsorship from a family friend, Rajiv Gandhi and went into administrative issues. He was in authoritative issues for only 3 years and a while later surrendered. He excessively reinforced the Samajwadi Party, the political party of his old partner Amar Singh. He entered again into the universe of Hindi Cinema with a hit at film industry for Shahenshah. For his Mafia part in the film Agneepath, he got a National Film Award for Best Actor. In 1991, he got third Filmfare Best On-screen character Award for his hit film Hum. After the achievement of Khuda Gawah in 1992, he needs to hold up till 1998 to gain the ground again for his film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.In 2000, Big B encouraged for "Kaun Banega Crorepati" a preoccupation show. The accomplishment of this show made him a stage to return to film ubiquity.Sunny Leone Amitabh Bacchan is a Qutab Minar, if you have to see the tip of it, this is a clear definition for him… As everybody has their place in Indian Film however nobody can stand or withstand with his tallest consistent capacity, fragile behavior and explanation went without trying to hide which never stings any religion, standing and belief system of the overall population. I think he is the on-screen character of the Millennium… .He is turning 70 this year and I appeal to God.

I enjoyed my stay at the Dream hotel . I like this hotel because is a great location but the rooms are not that great . I think is little pricy comparing to the other hotels .
great location for a nice hotel

Would not recommend
Is it a nightclub or a hotel
It was a nice place, but when you have trouble getting in because there's a line for the nightclub on the roof something's wrong.
Early Valentine's Celebration
My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Dream Downtown. We were celebrating Valentine's Day a week earlier and wanted to have a nice night out. When arriving, the staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.
They let us know about the restaurants at the hotel and were helpful with explaining what the hotel offers.
The rooms are clean, contemporary and comfortable, with a bed you feel like you are floating on. This was my 2nd stay here and will definitely be staying again.
Great rooms but a little small
Wonderful location, cool, hip...great staff.
Rooms are really cool...my only "complaint" is they are a little small...like most hotels in NYC
Terrible Hotel
The staff was rude and they were very inflexible. The rooms are so tiny that it is scary and claustrophobic. The hotel is full of young children, I would never stay there again.
Super Hot in NYC
This is a great hotel to use the pool and hang for the night and party in NYC. I loved it, and i could not think of a better location and hotel and pool to stay. DI
Fun Time
The hotel was very hip and clean. I would recommend this hotel to a younger set who wants to be with the in crowd.

This fragrance-free tinted primer has a lot going for it, but the shortcomings are hard to ignore. Applied sparingly, this smoothes skin, helps disguise the appearance of enlarged pores, and increases the overall wear time of any makeup applied over it. That's what any good primer does, although a lightweight serum loaded with anti-aging ingredients can do the same thing.
The available shades are suitable for light to medium-light skin tones, but are workable only when sheered out; when applied liberally, the texture becomes tacky and uneven, and all of the shades begin to look unnatural. Unfortunately, to get the full benefit of the broad-spectrum SPF 30 sun protection, liberal application is necessary (as with all sun protection products), and the texture and color issues are certainly a deterrent to liberal application. If you're thinking this is a time-saver because of its sun protection, you'll need to pair it with another SPF-rated product that you can apply liberally.
Overall, this primer is more trouble than it's worth. An antioxidant-infused foundation (or tinted moisturizer) with sunscreen would be a much better option; for better options, check out our list of Best Products.
Active: Titanium Dioxide (4.55%), Zinc Oxide (3.5%); Other Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Polysilicone-11, Mica, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Hexyl Laurate, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Alumina, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Diamond Powder, Iron Oxides.
Tarte Cosmetics At-A-Glance
Strengths: Excellent foundations; great cheek stain and powder blushes; superior pressed powder and eyelining pencils; good mascaras; unique, innovative, beautiful packaging; complete ingredient lists on the company's Web site.
Weaknesses: Can be pricey.
Tarte Cosmetics CEO and founder Maureen Kelly started Tarte in 1999, out of a desire to create a cosmetics line that "would prove that glamour can be good for you." This comes in the form of products that highlight naturally-derived ingredients in their marketing campaigns, and occasionally taking swipes at the concept of synthetics in makeup.
This is ironic, as Tarte uses more than a few beneficial synthetically derived ingredients in their formulas—silicones, synthetic fragrances, preservatives and on and on. However, we'll forgive them that as what's ultimately important is whether their products meet your needs, and to that we can say the brand excels in many areas at what they do.
However, a few products are a bit on the pricey side and there are a few iffy shades and textures to consider among their foundations—noted in their respective reviews. A few caveats aside, most of Tarte's foundations, blush options, eye pencils and an ever-expanding range of innovative products demonstrate that color is what they do best.
For more information about Tarte Cosmetics call 855-968-2783 or visit www.tartecosmetics.com.
The new Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains the commitment to help you find the best products possible for your skin. We do this by relentlessly pursuing and relying on published scientific research so you will have unbiased information on what works and what doesn't-and the sneaky ways you could be making your skin worse, not better!
The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same research, criteria, and objectivity, whether the product being reviewed is from Paula's Choice or another brand.
I don't know why this has such a low rating honestly. The formulation is really good for my sensitive oily skin and it provides very decent coverage on its own. It looks natural and improves the look of my overall skin texture noticeably. I started to wear make-up only very recently and I really feel no difference between wearing this and using nothing, it's so lightweight. My only complaints are that after 5 hours it starts to rub off even with a setting powder and it's expensive for the size.
I don't know why this scored so poorly with Beautypedia, but I adore this product! Its so easy to blend into the skin, you don't need much to get coverage (my skin is def NOT perfect either) & it gives a really flawless finish that lasts. I wear it under foundation and alone, & both ways work beautifully. This states that it looks "unnatural" when applied liberally, but so would any foundation/tinted makeup if you over apply! Thats just common sense! I'm sorry but this deserves at least 3 stars.
really love this! great coverage for my acne prone skin! Goes on very easily and lasts all day! Only thing is it tends to stick to dry patches after a few hours of wear.
I use a moisturizer with SPF and then apply this "primer" like a foundation, and I can't believe how great my skin looks! I only need add concealer under my eyes.
I have very redness- and acne-prone skin, and I've never found a full foundation that evens out and covers my skin as well as this primer does, while still keeping things VERY light and natural-looking. I love it!
I love this tinted primer! Feels like you are wearing nothing. I use 'fair' and it's an excellent match. I put on sunscreen in the morning and then just dab a tiny dot of this on forehead, cheeks, and chin, blend with my fingers and I am done. It looks very natural and I think it gives my face an airbrushed finish. I do not have any skin issues, but I use concealer under my eyes and to cover a few spots.
This is the only primer (I've tried copious kinds) that keeps my afternoon shine at bay. It's a little drying in those areas of your face, but I suppose you could use a great serum under it if that were an issue for you. My foundation stays flawless and pore-less nearly all day. I even took a nap and woke up gorgeous! I couldn't be happier:)
This BB cream looks unnatural if you use more than a very, very light layer. It also rubs off easily. It's to expensive to not perform well.
Although this is a primer, it offers very decent coverage and I use it alone over my moisturizer with spf. I have large pores and roseaca, and this covers everything beautifully and feels amazing on the skin. I will cry a river if they ever quit making this. The only bad thing about this product in my opinion is the very limited shade range. I feel blessed that "light" matches me very well.
A little goes a long way. Very easy to apply. I use a sponge. Looks very natural. And last all day, even through working out! And most importantly, does not cause any skin irritations or breakouts. Very natural and clean ingredients. Works great with my oily skin. Just absolutely love it! Also I must add, Cruelty Free! Yay!
I use this primer as a foundation. Liquid foundation feels too heavy, so I wear powder instead. However, this winter has left me drier than usual and I decided to try a BB cream. Tarte's finish disappeared on my skin. The effect falls between a TM & a powder. It fills in pores. I use CeraVe AM daily; a makeup product with SPF is a bonus, for me. I wish more products had SPF (I'm looking at you, eyeshadow and lip balm). Tarte provides light coverage & layered protection that feels weightless.
With this product, a little goes a long way. It has a silicon feel to it that some might not like. But just a small amount covers my whole face, with excellent coverage of redness and flaws. I usually set it with a finishing powder and I love that it has SPF. Also long lasting & I know because I work a 12 hour shift. I like that it is in a tube, because you can easily control the amount you want and not waste any product.

Way back in the spring of 2009, Anne Hathaway became attached to an adaptation of Gerald Clarke's "Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland" gestating at The Weinstein Company. The biography is considered as one of the definitive works on the tragic singer's life where she battled drug addiction, a horrifying stage mother, multiple marriages and infidelity all while becoming one of the biggest stars in the world. Word of the movie was announced and then sort of disappeared, but it looks like development is still moving forward on the project.Read More »
