From NY Times and USA Today best-selling author J. Daniels.
Wedding hookups never amount to anything. Those who partake in this wicked little activity know the rules. Get in. Get laid. Get out. There's no expectation of a relationship. It is what it is.
Dylan Sparks knows the rules. She's familiar with the protocol. And she engages in the best sex of her life with a complete stranger at her ex-boyfriend's wedding. Reese Carroll doesn't care about the rules. He wants more than just one night with Dylan. And Dylan finds him too addicting to pass up.
Sweet Addiction is the story of one woman's struggle to keep things casual and one man's desire to never let her go.
Warning: This audiobook is recommended for listeners over the age of 18 due to strong language and explicit sexual content.

"Loved It!"
This story is amazing and sexy,
and the reader is perfect. It is a must read for everyone
"Great story fell into my lap"
I loved this story despite the fact that the bakery played only a small part in it. The author has some writing tics that the grammarian in me flagged as careless, potentially confusing writing frowned upon by English teachers everywhere. The narrator did a fine job.
Yes Dylan and Joey, her Gay best friend, had been invited to her ex boyfriend's wedding but she attended because she had baked the wedding cake and also because her other best friend Jules is the Wedding Planner who is also a guest. But when she accidentally lands in the lap of THE most handsome sexy Adonis she's ever seen her focus is switched to him and only him..... what cake, whose wedding, who is he and how soon could they have sex.
When Dylan is introduced to Reese the sparks and sexual chemistry between them are way off the charts then steamy looks progress to a passionate hot encounter in the men's restroom but afterwards things get awkward when a flip comment is misunderstood and, when his marital status comes into question, Dylan flips out. So, when she gets the chance to confront the cheating scumbag the next day, she can't wait to reacquaint their bodies..... but this time it's her hand hitting his face. And this, believe it or not, starts off a 'no strings sex only' relationship that, according to Dylan, can include any surface except a bed or sleepovers (and so they're quite inventive). But feelings, misunderstandings, miscommunications and an overheard conversation leads to angst, tears, heartache, broken hearts and broken dreams. It was meant to be sex only - no strings.... but it never ever was.
Dylan and Reese are both very likeable characters, Reese is a sexy, sweet and thoughtful perfect Hero, Dylan and her two best friends are all very close, they're conversations are very quick witted and fun and they both play a strong part in the story. There's humor, witty banter, lots of hot sexcapades and a plot that flowed along nicely. Told from Dylan's POV by Piper Goodeve who effortlessly brings plot, storyline and characters to life.
Worth a credit? This listen was so so much more than I was expecting..... very romantic, sweet, hot, funny, entertaining and with a 'just one more chapter' storyline that was perfectly narrated.... so creditworthy? Oh boy is it ever...... (that's as YES by the way).
"Loved the Characters"
The narration was perfect. I love every single character, their fun, loving, funny and loyal. Spencer was perfect, once he he loved that was it. The part about pictures Dylan received was bad and I wished he been more forth coming, the secretary part was low.
loved it...dislike lengthy misunderstandings..worth the purchase I listen to every so often
"Super sweet."
Very enjoyable story. Loved the couple and all the banter with each other and their crazy friends. About to start the next installment immediately.
"3.5 Cute Fun Story"
My thoughts about Sweet Addiction. This was such a cute story, it had a lot of the qualities I really love in a book but something held me back from really loving it and I'm not quite sure I can even pinpoint exactly what it was. I'm thinking 3.5-4 stars.
Dylan (h) is looking for a hook up just one night at a wedding that just so happens to be her exes. Wedding hook ups never amount to anything...right?
Reese (H) knows the rules knows the game and is no stranger to one night stands, but he wants more than one night with Dylan.
Dylan doesn't want more, but it was the best sex she's ever had, so maybe a casual relationship? A no strings attached, monogamous but casual relationship...that should work. No way she will let it turn to anything more and especially with Reese's reputation, it would for sure turn into heartbreak.
As I'm writing this I think this is why I just couldn't give it a full 5 star rating. I may have liked the secondary characters more than the main characters. I really did like Reese and Dylan for the most part but the slapping got way out of control for me. The initial smack because of the marriage ordeal I got it, it didn't bother me at all, but then all the other times just seemed a little over the top. And I also couldn't get the fact that the "F word" and the word "Hot" is used so many times it started to annoy me. Having said that I really enjoyed the book, I got a few good laughs and it was quite steamy too. I will definitely listen to the next book.
Piper Goodeve was good with the delivery of the story
"Needs More Story"
it was okay but needs more story. line .the sex scenes were good but at a point it became just sex to much..that I began to fast forward past parts. there was no real relationship build up..the heroin was ok she overreacted far too much to situations.. I wouldn't recommend that anyone pay full price for it.. hopefully the next book gives more of a storyline and character development. still not sure if I'm buying it or not..still thinking on it.
"A great listen!"
Love this story, it's hot, flirty, sweet with a dash of angst. As well as loving Reese and Dylan you'll find that the supporting characters are just as important and wonderful as this story evolves. Piper Goodeve nailed the narration, making this a fabulous listen. Highly recommend this audiobook.
"A great light hearted romance."
Okay, I am a bit slack at writing reviews for audio books as they can take me a week to get through and I don't take any notes.
However, what I can say is that was a really enjoyable read. Reece was a really sweet guy who got more than he bargained for when he hooked up with Dylan at a wedding one night. Mr 'no-strings sex' is seriously reconsidering that mantra he has been living by.
Dylan is all for casual with Reece until it becomes more than that but she doesn't want to put her heart on the line if he doesn't feel the same way.
A great light hearted romance.
"Super sweet"
So sweet - bakery gang meets hot guys. All friends. What's the chances? But, it works. The author makes the story and characters interesting and it's an easy listen. Enjoy!
"Loved the sweet story line. Lots of sex too!"
Sweet story and lots of descriptive hot sex! Definitely going to get the next book.

The descendents of the Hall-Kornegay family gathered together in unity to preserve their Heritage by sharing stories, memories of events and relationships of the past and present. The three day event was a memorable celebration of FAITH, FRIENDS and FAMILY.
The most important things in life aren't things. The most important things in life are the relationships we have with others, the tender moments we share, the service we render and making a positive difference in the world around us.
"Like branches on a tree, our lives may grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one." -Author Unknown
The Honorable Mayor Cornell Harvey of Brunswick Georgia presented Proclamations from the City of Brunswick and Greetings on behalf of Congresswoman Corrine Brown and the constituents of the Fifth Congressional District of Florida to the oldest family member, Henrietta A. Haynes Wolfe. Glorster "BUCK" Buchanan were honored as the oldest African American
males on Saint Simons Island and Celia Buchanan is the oldest African American native of Saint Simons Island, Georgia.
Florida/Georgia Star Angela Favors-Morrell was in attendance. She introduced the Honorable Mayor Harvey and gave words of appreciation and recognition to the Florida Star News Photo Journalist Frank Powell during this gathering of his family's 21st Hall-Kornegay Reunion. Congratulations to Jurad A. Hill, Chairperson! It was absolutely a perfect weekend which was held at Epworth by the Sea Resort, St. Simons Island Pier and culminated with "Farewell Dinner" at Archers Country Buffet in Brunswick, Georgia.

The new plant, which would cost between $3.4 billion and $3.8 billion, would create an estimated 4,000 construction jobs. Dominion plans to break ground on the project next year, pending approval of its application.

Dave Carroll, 34, is usually decked out in motorbike gear, but the former Portobello stall holder still loves a good suit. 'I've got a Fifties Teddy Boy suit, another suit in mohair from the Sixties, but my favourite is a 1977 tartan bondage suit by Vivienne Westwood,' he says. Is there anything that he wouldn't wear? 'Pegged trousers with double- breasted jackets look dreadful. So Eighties; so naff.' Carroll liked this pounds 995 navy
'whistle' by Gieves & Hawkes,
although 'it's more likely to be worn by an overpaid graphic designer, someone who designs wrappers for chocolate bars'
Chris Russell, 34, says he only ever wears suits - of the Sixties three-button variety - for special occasions. Despite the fact that his shop, Shaft (71 Camden Road, NW1), sells suits from every decade since the Forties, he prefers to wear low- key jeans and T-shirt. 'This isn't really my style. It's double-breasted,' he says. 'If I was to wear double-breasted, it would have to be Forties, with a higher break and baggier trousers, like a real gangster look.' Would he ever wear designer suits? 'No way. Wearing a label doesn't automatically make you look good. And I can't see any designer's stuff lasting until 2030. Vintage is best, those suits are built to last.' Russell says that if he were to get married he would have a suit made for him. 'I know a couple of blokes, tailors, who'd do me one for pounds 400.' But he won't reveal his sources
'I would never buy a suit off-the-peg,' says Tony Bennett, 45, whose market stall specialises in vintage handmade suits. 'Modern designer suits are so expensive for what they are. If you're going to spend pounds 800, why not buy one from Savile Row?' Bennett laments the fact that most men never really got over the Eighties suit-code, pioneered by the likes of Armani, which was all about quarterback shoulders and baggy trousers, pleated at the waist for yet more width. Now it's all about sharp, slim lines, which is probably why his favourite acquisition is a Sixties mohair suit- 'really light, very
sharp'. What does he make of the pounds 395 Hackett suit he has been photographed in? 'I'd definitely buy it if I was working in the city, but life on a market means old warm jackets, boots and jeans for me'

This review is from: SAMSUNG S27E510C Black 27" Curved 4ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD/LED Monitor , 250 cd/m2 DCR Mega Infinity (3000:1), Wall Mountable, D-Sub HDMI
Pros: This monitor is yuuugge. (That's a good thing.) Color was good out of the box, just needed to turn back the brightness. No dead pixels, no light bleed.
Cons: The paddle control on the back of the monitor takes a little getting used to, but once you've got it, it's not a big deal.
Other Thoughts: Good monitor, especially considering NewEgg's frequent sale price. The curve is a nice touch. The "flimsy" stand is not as big a deal as some reviews would indicate. Given the chance, I'd buy it again. If you don't have a short HDMI cable, put one in your cart along with this monitor.READ FULL REVIEW

Cons: If you use it for the intended purpose, there are no cons. Some complain about the need to download the software, but if you can't do that, you don't need to be fooling around inside your box.
Other Thoughts: Order this thing, install it, and you'll wonder why you didn't do it a long time ago.READ FULL REVIEW

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are abundant in aquatic environment. However, only few studies have investigated their impacts on freshwater invertebrates. This work aimed to study the effects of BDE-47 and BDE-99 congeners on the chitobiase and chitinolytic enzymes activities of the freshwater amphipod Gammarus pulex, according to gender, PBDE concentration and time of exposure. In addition, the bioaccumulation of BDE-47 and BDE-99 were measured. Results revealed that females have bioaccumulated more PBDE than males, and BDE-99 was more accumulated than BDE-47. PBDE exposures for 96hrs have caused chitobiase and chitinolytic enzymes inhibition. This study not only indicate the importance of taking into account various confounding factors (gender, congeners, concentration) to understand PBDE effects, but underline also disruptions of molting enzymes activities. These disturbances suggest effects on the gammarid development and reproduction, and consequently effects on the gammarid population, and on a larger scale, a dysfunction of the ecosystem.

Many studies have reported perturbations of mollusc reproduction following exposure to low concentrations (ng/L range) of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). However, the mechanisms of action of these molecules on molluscs are still poorly understood. Investigation of the modifications of protein expression in organisms exposed to chemicals using proteomic methods can provide a broader and more comprehensive understanding of adverse impacts of pollution on organisms than conventional biochemical biomarkers (e.g., heat-shock proteins, metallothioneins, GST, EROD). In this study we have investigated the impacts of four chemicals, which exhibit different endocrine disrupting properties in vertebrates, on the proteome of the hermaphroditic freshwater pulmonate gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis after 21 days of exposure. Testosterone, tributyltin, chlordecone and cyproterone acetate were chosen as tested compounds as they can induce adverse effects on the reproduction of this snail. The 2D-DIGE method was used to identify proteins whose expression was affected by these compounds. In addition to modifying the expression of proteins involved in the structure and function of the cytoskeleton, chemicals had impacts on the expression of proteins involved in the reproduction of L. stagnalis. Exposure to 19.2 μg/L of chlordecone increased the abundance of ovipostatin, a peptide transmitted during mating through seminal fluid, which reduces oviposition in this species. The expression of yolk ferritin, the vitellogenin equivalent in L. stagnalis, was reduced after exposure to 94.2 ng Sn/L of tributyltin. The identification of yolk ferritin and the modification of its expression in snails exposed to chemicals were refined using western blot analysis. Our results showed that the tested compounds influenced the abundance of yolk ferritin in the reproductive organs. Alteration in proteins involved in reproductive pathways (e.g., ovipostatin and yolk ferritin) could constitute relevant evidence of interaction of EDCs with reproductive pathways that are under the control of the endocrine system of L. stagnalis.

Several studies have shown that pollutants with anti-androgenic activity have an impact on the sexual reproduction of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus (Joaquim-Justo et al., submit; Preston et al., 2001). The effects observed are compatible with the phenomenon of endocrine disruption. Fenitrothion, a non-steroidal anti-androgen induces a decrease in fertilization rate following exposure below or equal to 0,5 mg L-1.. The steroidal anti-androgen, cyproterone acetate increases number of cysts in population exposed to concentrations below or equal to 0,5 mg L-1. Cross mating experiments showed that effects of fenitrothion are due to an impact on males exclusively, while effects of cyproterone acetate exposition are due to an impact on females exclusively. In this study, we investigated the impact of fenitrothion on spermatogenesis and observed a decrease in the spermatozoa production and mobility with concentrations down to 0,5 mg L-1. We report a detailed description of the morphology of the male reproductive apparatus in B. calyciflorus based on optic, transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy in controls and exposed individuals.

Tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) are emblematic endocrine disruptors, which have been mostly studied in gonochoric prosobranchs. Although both compounds can simultaneously occur in the environment, they have mainly been tested separately for their effects on snail reproduction. Because large discrepancies in experimental conditions occurred in these tests, the present study aimed at comparing the relative toxicity of TBT and TPT under similar laboratory conditions in the 0–600 ng Sn/L range. Tests were performed on the simultaneous hermaphrodite Lymnaea stagnalis, a freshwater snail in which effects of TPT were unknown. Survival, shell length and reproduction were monitored in a 21d semi-static test. Frequency of abnormal eggs was assessed as an additional endpoint. TPT hampered survival while TBT did not. Major effects on shell solidity and reproduction were observed for both compounds, reproductive outputs being more severely hampered by TBT than by TPT. Considering the frequency of abnormal eggs allowed increasing test sensitivity, since snail responses to TBT could be detected at concentrations as low as 19 ng Sn/L. However, the putative mode of action of the two compounds could not be deduced from the structure of the molecules or from the response of apical endpoints. Sensitivity of L. stagnalis to TBT and TPT was compared to the sensitivity of prosobranch molluscs with different habitats and different reproductive strategies.

Abstract Background: Studies relating long-term exposure to persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) with endocrine activities (endocrine disrupting chemicals) on circulating levels of steroid hormones have been limited to a small number of hormones and reported conflicting results. Objective: We examined the relationship between serum concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, androstenedione, androstenediol, testosterone, free and bioavailable testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estrone, estrone sulphate, estradiol, sex-hormone binding globulin, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone as a function of level of exposure to three POPs known to interfere with hormone-regulated processes in different way: dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethene (DDE), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener 153, and chlordecone. Methods: We collected fasting, morning serum samples from 277 healthy, non obese, middle-aged men from the French West Indies. Steroid hormones were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, except for dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, which was determined by immunological assay, as were the concentrations of sex-hormone binding globulin, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. Associations were assessed by multiple linear regression analysis, controlling for confounding factors, in a backward elimination procedure, in multiple bootstrap samples. Results: DDE exposure was negatively associated to dihydrotestosterone level and positively associated to luteinizing hormone level. PCB 153 was positively associated to androstenedione and estrone levels. No association was found for chlordecone. Conclusions: These results suggested that the endocrine response pattern, estimated by determining blood levels of steroid hormones, varies depending on the POPs studied, possibly reflecting differences in the modes of action generally attributed to these compounds. It remains to be investigated whether this response pattern is predictive of the subsequent occurrence of disease. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 35 (4 ULg)

STARE-CAPMED (STAtion of Reference and rEsearch on Change of local and global Anthropogenic Pressures on Mediterranean Ecosystems Drifts) est un projet de recherche mis en place par Stareso S.A.S. depuis janvier 2012. Il a pour objectif d'établir un site de référence à long terme pour la compréhension, par la recherche fondamentale, des processus de l'évolution des écosystèmes méditerranéens côtiers et océaniques en réponse aux changements actuels globaux et locaux des pressions anthropiques. Centré sur la Baie de Calvi et le proche large, il vise à fournir un référentiel basé sur des mesures à haute fréquence qui doivent pouvoir complémenter les réseaux de surveillance basse fréquence et de recherches existants et ainsi faire progresser la compréhension des processus. En outre, le projet doit fournir aux utilisateurs finaux (collectivités locales et régionales, administrations nationales, ...) des orientations de gestion basées sur l'analyse étayée des processus en jeux. Financé par l'Agence de l'eau RMC et la Collectivité Territoriale de Corse, le projet, multidisciplinaire, se décline actuellement selon 10 axes de travail : • Suivi du cadre hydrographique et physico-chimique • Suivi et quantification des pressions anthropiques • Ecosystème planctonique • Benthos de substrat meuble • Benthos de substrat dur et faune vagile • Phanérogames marines et écosystèmes associés • Mouillages et processus d'altération des herbiers de posidonies • Ecotoxicologie et polluants émergents • Bilan CO2 et métabolisme des écosystèmes • Zones protégées, espèces nouvelles, recrutement Pour chacun de ces axes, la stratégie d'échantillonnage est basée sur la comparaison de données obtenues durant des périodes où l'impact anthropique est faible (octobre-avril) avec celles obtenues durant des périodes de pression intense (mai-septembre), et sur la comparaison de données issues de sites de référence peu impactés avec celles provenant de sites où l'impact anthropique est reconnu. A titre d'exemple, le but de l'action "Mouillages et processus d'altération des herbiers de posidonies" est de mettre en évidence les conséquences des altérations liées à l'arrachage de faisceaux de posidonies sur la vitalité de l'herbier. Des zones où la pression de mouillage est reconnue seront définies sur base des travaux de cartographie de l'herbier, également réalisés dans le cadre du projet STARE-CAPMED. Elles seront comparées avec des zones d'herbiers sains témoins par la caractérisation du sédiment (mesures de compacité in situ, mesures des concentrations en O2 et nutriments et du pH de l'eau interstitielle, granulométrie et teneur en matière organique du sédiment, proportions de rhizomes et morts) ainsi que par la définition de l'état physiologique des faisceaux de posidonies (mesures biométriques classiques, analyses des contenus élémentaires en carbone, azote et phosphore) et par l'application d'indices écologiques définis par la DCE (PREI, BIPO, …). Les résultats obtenus permettront d'avoir une vue d'ensemble des processus par lesquels l'impact physique des mouillages de bateaux de plaisance occasionne des dégâts aux herbiers de posidonies. Ils pourront ainsi fournir une base de connaissances solide aux gestionnaires soucieux de limiter cet impact. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 385 (45 ULg)

Whatever else you may say about the 2009-10 version of "Melrose Place," you cannot say that the cast is hard on the eyes.
So what we get in this pair of promos for the show's return on March 9 is a lot of images of beautiful people in pretty clothes — or out of pretty clothes, as the case may be. The previews are light on plot points — though there are a couple glimpses of a bearded Billy Campbell as Amanda's (Heather Locklear) boyfriend — but heavy on Ella (Katie Cassidy), Riley (Jessica Lucas) and the rest of the cast dressing up and getting down.
Oh, and Michael (Thomas Calabro) and Jane (Josie Bissett) share the same space without trying to kill one another.
Here's the first clip, "Fashion," in which the cast is (mostly) clothed.
The next one is titled "Romance" and features less clothing. Enjoy.

Hi everyone!
I've wanted to see Scotland since I was a romantic teenager, yet I've never been, despite all the trips I've taken over the years. And so here I am, planning my trip to Scotland for summer 2014.
I've been reading and researching for a couple of months now, and I'm more torn than ever, so I'd love some honest opinions, tips, advice, anything really.
From everything I've been able to glean, public transportation in the highlands of Scotland isn't exactly awesome and since I'll be travelling solo, renting a car for the whole trip would be quite expensive. I looked into various small tour options, and found one I quite liked with Rick Steves. I enjoyed a tour I did with them a couple of years ago in Tallinn, Helsinki and St. Petersburg. Bunking with another solo traveler to save pennies was a plus in my book, and I'm still in close contact with my roomie and several other tour mates.
But I have problems with the Rick Steves itinerary and their tour dates. While pretty comprehensive, the Rick Steves itinerary doesn't include the Isle of Skye or Eileen Donan, both of which I would really like to see. I could do an additional tour there with a company like Rabbies, but most of the sights included in the 4-day Rabbies tour, except Skye and Eileen Donan, will have already been covered in my Rick Steves tour and it seems quite a large expense just to see those. Glasgow isn't included either with Rick Steves, but that will be very easy to do on my own after the tour. And then there are the dates. I want to go in August so I can see the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, but between family and work commitments around that time, my departure and return dates are pretty much set in stone. While I'm across the pond, I was hoping to go to London again, see a couple of the sights I missed my first trip and one that was covered in scaffolding (I'm looking at you, or wanting a look at you, Tower of London), then go north to York, explore the Yorkshire countryside, its ruins, moors and dales, stop very, very briefly in Durham and then hike along Hadrian's Wall before taking the train to Edinburgh. I'll be rushing to see all that I want to see in England and make it to Edinburgh in time for the tour departure date.
So, what should I do? I could start with the Rick Steves tour of Scotland and then go south, freeing up a bit more time for England, but I'm thinking I'd like to build up to Scotland, my dream destination. I'm afraid London would just feel blah after that, especially since I've already been there and I'll be tired from a long trip. Or I could not do the Rick Steves tour at all. I could instead do a couple of Rabbies tours. There may be a bit of overlap here and there, but it won't be as drastic as after a Rick Steves tour. Or should I try to go it completely alone? Or maybe the Isle of Skye and Eileen Donan aren't worth a look, I should bone up on vitamins to get it all done and stop worrying? What say you all?
And thanks in advance! (Especially for reading my endless post, if you've made it this far.)

Scotland itinerary help - to group tour or not to group tour?
Hi everyone!

I didn't read your whole post but my initial thoughts are save the ££/$$ of the RS tour, go to Edinburgh and Glasgow and maybe another one or two places on your own and take a Rabbies multi day tour to get to the highlands/islands/more remote places. They are cheaper, use smaller causes and are VERY good.
Report Abuse
I lived in Edinburgh for 18 years, until last year, and always heard the Rabbie's tours were very good. And you'll have a much more intimate and 'Scottish' experience with them than with a Rick Steves tour.
Do you have a particular reason for wanting to go to the Tattoo? IMO it was the least interesting of the 8 Edinburgh summer festivals. The International Festival and some elements of the Fringe, however, were my highlights of the year and are among the things I miss most about Edinburgh.
Out of interest, how are you planning to see "the Yorkshire countryside, its ruins, moors and dales"? (Also amongst my favourite parts of Britain - I'm originally from a neighbouring county & lived in Yorkshire for 10 years.) You'll really need a car for that.
And how long do you have for the whole trip? It sounds as though you need at least 3 weeks.

"Eileen Donan" - isn't she Irish, not a Scot?
Eilean Donan is the castle. It's A site in Scotland, but not the reason to rework a whole itinerary.
The Scotophiles who pop on the board and have used a tour will recommend Rabbies, as one already has. This is a consistent theme: Rabbies does good tour.
Thank goodness for the double "b" in the name . . .

I would like to pitch in here with a few comments. I have made several trips to Scotland where I drove myself everywhere. Had a great time and swore I would never go on a group tour then last year due to circumstances booked a tour with http://www.adderleytravel.com. I had an awesome time. I actually enjoyed handing over all the decisions and the small tour size was very friendly and intimate. Tim is very knowledgable informative about tours.
I would second the thoughts on Eilean Donan, highly overrated. If you decide to tour on your own you can take a train from Edinburgh to Stirling. This is an awesome castle and easy day trip.

Easy enough to visit Skye without a tour and without driving. Take the train (very scenic route) from Glasgow to Mallaig and the ferry from there. Taxis or buses on the island itself. I took the bus back to the mainland over the bridge to Kyle of Lochalsh and the train from there to Edinburgh.
Report Abuse
IMO not easy to do Skye using public transportation. Taxis are expensive and they don't hang around Armadale or Kyle of Lochalsh hoping to pick-up passengers. You'll need to book in advance. Bus schedules are not really well-suited for sightseeing although they do make runs between the main villages. I've taken the train to Mallaig several times but always arrange for a car rental when I arrive at Armadale.

Julie_a - I don't follow your reasoning that renting a car would be quite expensive. You can easily get a small economy sized car (perfect for one person) for around £18-25 per day in Scotland (plus fuel of course). If you insist on automatic transmission that might add a bit more.
If you do a comparison with an organised tour - and take out any meals/accommodation that you'd have to pay for in any case - the car hire option is considerably cheaper. Not only that but you have total flexibility to do what you want when you want.
There's plenty of anxiety-ridden people round here who start hyper-ventilating at even the thought of having to drive themselves around Scotland, but any competent driver should be able to cope with this.

I did Scotland solo and one of the best choices I made was to take a 3 day tour with Rabbie's tours. They were great!

Edinburgh's very busy in August, with the Festival and all its adjuncts. It's not too early to book; the hotels fill up early (having raised their prices).
Agree, Eilean Donan is a romantic-looking castle, but not a must-see, especially inside. The view of ED is worth a detour, yes, but not a trip. But since it's near Kyle of Lochalsh and the bridge to Skye, it's an easy detour.
Report Abuse
Well each to his own, but I think Eilean Donan castle is well worth a visit, and I don't get why it's so often dismissed on this forum. Yes the inside is largely an early 20th century reconstruction but so is Warwick Castle in England which posters here usually insist is a "must see" (whatever that is). Just zipping past and taking a few photos would miss quite a bit IMO.

Whether or not your baby has an innie or an outie belly button is not under your or anyone else's control. It's just chance.

In fact, the belly button is really just a scar. If your baby formed some scar tissue underneath the belly button, this could have caused it to protrude and become an outie. If your baby had an umbilical hernia, this could have contributed to an outie belly button, too.

Signs of an Umbilical Hernia

An umbilical hernia occurs when a weakness in the muscle around the umbilicus (belly button) allows the tissues of the abdomen to protrude through the muscle. The umbilical cord, or the cord that delivers nutrients from the mother to the fetus, goes through the abdominal muscles, creating an area where a hernia can easily form.

The defect occurs before the baby is born and is most common among African-American babies and babies born with a low birthweight. Umbilical hernias are typically present at birth and may seem to appear and disappear. This is often called a "reducible" hernia.

An umbilical hernia is usually painless; in fact, the only symptom is that the belly button looks swollen or "herniated" outward. If an umbilical hernia becomes strangulated, it can cause the hernia to become painful. This is rare, however.

Umbilical hernias typically don't need treatment and typically go away by the baby's first or second birthday. Surgery may be needed to repair the hernia if the umbilical hernia is very big (larger than 2 cm, for example); the hernia is getting bigger; or it has not gone away by age 4 or 5.

Belly Button Myths

Whether your newborn has an innie or outie has nothing to do with how the umbilical cord was cut — or anything else that happened during childbirth for that matter.

And despite common folklore, you can't change its shape by strapping something across your baby's belly, or by taping a quarter over it. In fact, there's nothing you can (or should) do to change it. Instead, as your child grows, help him see the beauty of this feature. While an outie belly button is less common, it's no less a part of your child's normal appearance.

Caring for Your Newborn's Belly Button Area

Follow these steps to care for your newborn's belly button area:

Keep the area dry by giving sponge baths in the first few weeks after birth.

Clean the are using mild soap and water. Ask your pediatrician to recommend safe soaps.

Dry the area completely once it has been cleaned.

Ask your newborn's pediatrician about wiping the belly button with alcohol swabs. Some doctors recommend it while others don't.

Fold the top edge of the diaper to ensure that it does not cover the belly button area. This will help keep it dry and heal faster.

Watch Black Dynamite
The cult comedy Black Dynamite is an outrageous spoof of the Seventies Blaxploitation genre. Black Dynamite (Michael Jai White) is an ex-CIA agent out to get revenge for the murder of his younger brother Jimmy (Baron Vaughn). Along the way he intends to rid the ghetto of the dangerously new drug that is sweeping through the black community. His former partner, O'Leary (Kevin Chapman) helps recruit him back into the CIA to give official cover to his actions, but Black Dynamite soon discovers that the shady dealings behind both his brother's murder and the drug dealing itself may go far higher than he ever could have expected and nobody can be trusted. As he fights and romances his way along, he also meets a fiery and beautiful Black Power activist named Gloria (Salli Richardson), and the two strike sparks even as they clash. Also featuring Arsenio Hall as Tasty Freeze and Tommy Davidson as Creamed Corn. Directed by Michael Jai White.
