Cover Design by Jo Matthews
Genre: Erotica
Scheduled Release: September 27, 2013
When fate brings you face-to-face with what your heart desires, how can you ignore it?
Violet Weathers, the world's top supermodel, is in Omaha, Nebraska for two weeks shooting a campaign for a new skincare line that she's the fresh new face of.
When her car breaks down on the way to the hotel, she is rescued by a hot mechanic who just might make her stay in Omaha more bearable.
Excerpt:"Have you bought many girls here? Is this like your make-out spot?"
"No, you're the first," he chuckled, running his fingers through my hair. "Do you have any idea how beautiful you are? Any guy would give his life to be me right now."
"I doubt that, Blake."
"You, Violet, have so much light in you. I've never felt so alive before and I know it's because of you."
"You can be incredibly sweet," I groaned as he pulled me down toward his lips. My hands dug into the sand when he deepened the kiss, sweeping his tongue in to meet mine.
Kissing Blake was quickly becoming one of my favorite pastimes.
"I want you, Violet," he snarled, snaking his hand down my back.
"Here?" I gasped. What if someone saw us? I couldn't chance any paparazzi catching us and taking pictures. It would be on the front page of every trashy tabloid out there within hours. Something like that coming out could put an end to my career.
"No one comes here. It's a secluded beach," he purred, running his fingers up my legs. "Let me love you here, Beautiful." I couldn't resist him—I didn't want to.
Blake effortlessly rolled us over so he was hovering above me. His lips began to move down my jaw while his hands continued their way up my dress.
"I've never had sex outside before," I murmured into his ear as his mouth moved toward my neck.
"Violet Weathers has never had sex outside?" Blake teased, acting horrified at the thought.
"Don't mock me," I pouted, slapping his arm playfully.
"I guess I better make this good then, huh? No pressure," he smoldered, slipping his hand into my panties.
"Fuck…B…Bl…Blake," I groaned, fisting the sand above my head as his fingers slipped inside me. "A little warning would have been nice."
"Oh, you love it when I do this," he mused, stroking my clit. "You're getting wetter by the second. What is it, Baby? Is it being outside? Does that excite you?" I nodded frantically, closing my eyes as he began to really work my body. "Open the top of your sundress for me," he said huskily. I did as he asked, quickly unbuttoning it and exposing my baby pink bra to him. "Pull the cups down, too," he demanded. Blake almost had me at the brink already; I could feel my climax quickly approaching. Pulling my bra cups down, I exposed my breasts to him.
The moment he leaned down and sucked my right nipple into his mouth, I exploded around his fingers.
"Oh…God…Blake," I groaned out into the open air.
"I love watching you climax," he grinned from in between my breasts.
"You are very good at making me cum," I giggled, watching him undo his trousers before tearing open a condom.
"I'm better when I use this," he mused, gesturing toward his covered erection. Blake pushed my dress up around my waist, caressing my skin as he went. I wrapped my legs around his hips, surprising him by my sudden advance as I drew him closer to me. "A little anxious, are we?" he winked.
"I want to see what all the fuss is about when it comes to outdoor sex," I countered, lifting my ass up slightly to feel the tip of his cock at my entrance.
Blake's eyes turned hooded with a deep desire as he grabbed my hips and filled me in one swift motion.
"You better hold on," he grunted, pulling almost completely out and then slamming right back inside me. "This is going to be rough."
"Ugh…yes," I groaned, letting Blake take me to new heights as the sun caressed my skin. I'd never had a sexual experience like it.
"How was that for your first experience with outdoor sex?" Blake asked, doing the buttons on the top of my dress back up.
"Amazing," I panted, holding my stomach as I tried to regain my breath. "Feeling the breeze touch your skin while someone is bringing you to life…I have no words."
"Is that how I make you feel?" He looked stunned.
"You make me feel a lot of things, Blake," I admitted, stroking his chin.
The air between us began to thicken before he finally spoke. "We should open the champagne," he muttered, watching my lips.
"Good idea," I beamed, stretching to get the glasses that had fallen into the sand.
The rest of the afternoon was blissful as we lay on the blanket talking about anything and everything, and occasionally getting lost in each other.

A jury in the Eastern District of Texas told Google that it owes Bedrock Computer Technologies $5 million in damages for using versions of Linux that infringe on Bedrock's patents.
Bedrock sued companies that use Linux claiming that the Linux kernel infringed on its patent for search technology. Bedrock's patent covers a search and retrieval system that allows records to expire and not be included in the search results. The suit names a long list of Linux kernels it claims infringes on its patent, from kernel 2.4.22.x to 2.6.31.x and "beyond." The Bedrock suit, filed in June 2009, also named a long list of notable defendants because they were users of the technology, including Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Amazon.com, PayPal, Match.com, AOL, and others.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
In 2009, Red Hat attempted to get the patent overturned by filing a declaratory judgment request with the court.
Despite the verdict handed down this month and made public on Wednesday, the fight may not be over. Sources told Network World that Google is considering an appeal. A Google spokesperson further told Network World: "Google will continue to defend against attacks like this one on the open source community. The recent explosion in patent litigation is turning the world's information highway into a toll road, forcing companies to spend millions and millions of dollars defending old, questionable patent claims, and wasting resources that would be much better spent investing in new technologies for users and creating jobs."
Meanwhile, users remain vulnerable.
"Under patent law a right holder can make assertions against vendors as well as users. This company apparently went after various Linux users, several of whom are Red Hat customers, which is why Red Hat intervened and filed a declaratory judgment request for the purpose of having the patent declared invalid," patent blogger and intellectual property activist Florian Mueller told Network World. Mueller analyzed the verdict in his FOSS Patents blog.
MORE USERS: The oddest places to find Linux
Google was the first to go to trial. This finding makes it easier for Bedrock to win its pending cases against the remaining companies. Those companies will either face trial or will negotiate a license from Bedrock to drop the allegations. The case underscores the problems with software patents in the eyes of many intellectual property experts.
"I wouldn't blame the jury for determining that the patent was valid and infringed, and the $5 million amount isn't outrageous considering the large scale on which Google makes use of Linux. The jury may just have applied the law as it stands. But in my opinion the kind of software concept this patent monopolizes shouldn't be patentable in the first place," says Mueller.
The jury upheld the validity of the patent even though it was using the lesser standard of "preponderance of evidence." The Supreme Court earlier this week heard arguments from Microsoft and i4i over how much evidence should be required to overturn a patent. Microsoft argues that the less restrictive "preponderance" standard should be used and this case shows that even when it is used, a jury may still uphold a software patent.
BACKGROUND: Microsoft's persistence brings software patent fight to Supreme Court
"This patent is a threat to all Linux vendors and users in the U.S., at least in connection with servers and perhaps also on the client side. If Bedrock defeats Google in court over this patent, it will knock at many doors to collect royalties," says Mueller.
In 2006, Red Hat announced that it offered an additional service for paid subscribers of its Linux products that would indemnify them against lawsuits such as this one. To this day, its website promises, "Red Hat will now provide indemnification as an additional protection in its Open Source Assurance program.... The indemnification further protects against intellectual property infringement claims.... Customers can sign up for Red Hat's expanded Open Source Assurance program by activating their subscriptions (if they haven't done so already), logging into their RHN accounts and accepting the terms of the Open Source Assurance Agreement."
Red Hat could not be reached for comment.

Financial charges taken by both Intel and Time Warner Cable on Wednesday put the spotlight on the tough prospects for Clearwire, the company that aims to build a national mobile broadband network using WiMax technology.
Intel, the biggest backer of the fledgling technology, said it will take a non-cash charge of US$950 million [m] to its fourth-quarter earnings, which are due to be announced Jan. 15. The announcement came as part of a warning that Intel will miss its revenue forecast for the quarter, which had already been adjusted downwards once before.
Also on Wednesday, Time Warner Cable said it expects to incur a charge of $350 million from its Clearwire investment on its fourth-quarter results. Time Warner was one of three cable companies that joined with Google to invest a total of $3.2 billion in Clearwire last May. Cable giant Comcast, which also participated in that deal, plans to take a charge of its own, according to reports published Wednesday.
Clearwire absorbed Sprint Nextel's WiMax network business as part of the May agreement, which closed late last year. As the deal was concluded, Clearwire said it had received the $3.2 billion investment. The cable operators plan to resell Clearwire service as a mobile complement to their wired offerings.
But the meltdown in financial and credit markets last year added yet another weight to an already heavy burden for Clearwire.
The company, which began as a wireless broadband service provider using pre-WiMax equipment, is attempting to build a network that would compete against both AT&T and Verizon in both the home broadband and mobile data arenas. Between Sprint's earlier buildout and Clearwire's own mobile WiMax system, which formally launched Tuesday in Portland, Oregon, there are just two cities served by the technology today. The funding the company has received to date is not expected to be enough to pay for the entire national buildout.
Numerous delays surely haven't helped Clearwire's stock, which has plummeted from more than $16 per share in February 2008 to a close of $4.98 on Wednesday. The falling price of the shares has impaired the value of its partners' investments.
Intel and the cable partners, which also include Bright House Networks, are likely to stand behind Clearwire for at least the next year or so, despite any financial pain they may suffer, industry analysts said. Intel, for one, is pushing hard to get WiMax integrated into laptops alongside Wi-Fi. But between fast wired broadband and 3G, plus the emerging LTE (Long-Term Evolution) fast mobile standard, Clearwire faces plenty of challenges.
"This isn't the kind of money-maker that I think many of these vendors envisioned," Gartner wireless analyst Ken Dulaney said. "They're going to do what they can to try to make this go (but) to make money, you've got to sell to millions of users."
WiMax would be ideal for residents in underserved rural areas, but there isn't enough population density there to support it, Dulaney said. On the other hand, for Intel, a bet on WiMax could still pay off in other parts of the world, he added.
Painful adjustments like those announced Wednesday can also help the situation, Dulaney said, recalling the Iridium satellite mobile service of the late 1990s.
"Iridium made sense when it got written down," Dulaney said. "At some point, Iridium was just way overpriced."

(AllHipHop News) Veteran hip-hop/R&B producer Teddy Riley has filed a lawsuit against former members of Blackstreet, accusing the estranged members of illegally using the group's name.
Teddy Riley and group member Chauncey Hannibal filed the lawsuit against former group members Mark Middleton and Eric Williams on December 1, in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia.
According to the lawsuit, Teddy Riley is half of the owner of the Blackstreet trademark, while long time associate Chauncey Hannibal owns the other half.
The pair have held the rights to the name since 1992, prior to the release of any Blackstreet albums.
The lawsuit claims that from 2003 until present, Mark Middleton and Eric Williams have booked themselves as Blackstreet for performances, without the proper permission or consent.
Lawyers for Teddy Riley and Chauncey Hannibal claim that the two men have ignored several cease and desist letters, but still continue to book shows as Blackstreet.
The lawsuit claims that as recently as November of 2011 the pair have claimed that they were Blackstreet.
The confusion has scared away several booking agents, which resulted in the cancellation of an official Blackstreet tour of Europe.
To make matters worse, the two men went on Jenny Boom Boom's show on Hot 93.7 in Hartford, to discuss the matter.
During the interview, the men admitted to having issues with Teddy Riley and Chauncey Hannibal.
They also claimed that there were two "different sets" of Blackstreet because Teddy Riley and Chauncey Hannibal have refused to share proceeds.
Blackstreet was formed in 1991.
The group's debut album was released in 1994, with members Teddy Riley, Dave Hollister, Chauncey Black and Levi Little.
Middleton and Williams did not join the group until 1996, when Blackstreet hit big with the Dr. Dre-assisted single "No Diggity," from their album Another Level.
According to Teddy Riley and Chauncey Hannibal, Mark Middleton and Eric Williams signed contracts which stipulated that they were works for hire, meaning they have no rights to use the Blackstreet name.
"Defendants have used the name and mark Blackstreet in such a manner as to create actual confusion and likelihood of confusion among prospective customers and/or purchasers of the services provided by plaintiffs," the lawsuit reads.
"Defendants have harmed the goodwill of plaintiffs in the name and mark Blackstreet, causing immediate and irreparable harm to plaintiffs."

Under The Ledge // Five Years In The Maze
Wednesday – Monday, April 4-9, 2018
For the past four years Diane and I have been spending our Memorial Day Weekends in late May exploring the Maze District of Canyonlands National Park and the Orange Cliffs Unit of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, along with the greater Robbers Roost area to the west. The first two years were great, but the last two years were hotter and buggier than we would have liked which was not as much fun for us. I recalled that my very first trip into The Maze was in early April and that the temperature was much cooler out (we even had a little snow) and great for hiking, so this year we decided to move our trip up into early April so we would hopefully have cooler temperatures and no bugs to deal with. But as you might know, the conditions on the Colorado Plateau are never that predictable, especially in the spring.13 Comments

The CTA will waive a $5 fee for customers who obtain the new Ventra transit card in 2013 and it also will eliminate or reduce some of the controversial service charges related to the optional Ventra debit MasterCard account, officials said Friday.
The changes, made in the face of strong criticism about the myriad prepaid debit account fees from elected officials, consumer groups and CTA riders, will come at a price for the CTA.
Under the renegotiated deal reached between the transit agency and its Ventra partners, the CTA gave up a guaranteed half-million dollar annual minimum share of some prepaid debit fees that will be collected. The actual revenue generated for the CTA from the ancillary fees was projected to be much higher than $500,000, officials had said.
"We reduced the amount to zero,'' said CTA spokesman Brian Steele. But the CTA will still receive revenue from Ventra-related advertising and from the transit benefits program that provides a tax savings to participating transit users, he said.
The better consumer news for CTA and Pace customers who accept the offer of a Ventra fare-payment card coupled with the optional MasterCard is that a $1.50 ATM withdrawal fee on the debit account is being eliminated – if the withdrawals are made from ATMs in the Allpoint network, officials said.
Allpoint operates about 1,000 ATM machines in the Chicago area and about 43,000 nationally.
ATM fees will still be charged if the Ventra prepaid MasterCard is used for transactions at ATMs outside the Allpoint network, although the CTA and its Ventra partners are attempting to negotiate fee-waivers from banks and other ATM providers, Steele said.
A $5 fee will still be charged if withdrawals using the Ventra MasterCard are made at a teller window in a bank, officials said.
Under the new changes, Ventra debit card customers won't face a previously proposed $2 charge to talk on the phone with a Ventra customer assistant, Steele said.
In addition, the fee to obtain a paper monthly statement will be reduced to $1, from $2, officials said. And customers who decide to quit the Ventra program will be charged a $5 balance refund fee, down from $6, officials said.
In another about-face, the CTA will waive the $5 fee to acquire a Ventra card this year. Free cards will be distributed during an outreach campaign expected to begin next month, Steele said. The cards will be handed out at neighborhood festivals and other community events, he said.
The $5 fee to obtain a Ventra card will be charged in 2014, Steele said. The $5 will be applied toward future transit service if the card owner registers the card, officials said.
Ventra customers who lose their cards will be required to pay $5 for a replacement card.
The Ventra fare-collection system is slated to be rolled out late this summer, Steele said. Ventra is a contactless card that will replace the popular Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus next year. The Chicago Card computer chip technology is becoming outdated, officials said.
Riders will also have the option to pay transit fares using a personal credit card, if it is equipped with the contactless radio-wave technology. Using a personal credit card will be the easiest way to avoid fees.
But a host of other "convenience fees'' and customer service charges will remain on the debit card account, and those charges could quickly add up if card holders are not careful, consumer advocates caution.
The charges include a $5 per month "dormancy fee'' if the Ventra transit card is not used on buses or trains for 18 months; and a $2 per month "inactivity fee'' for non-use of the optional debit account in an 18-month period.
Fees of up to $4.95 will be charged by retail outlets to load cash onto the debit account. Another fee – $2.95 to add money to the debit account using a personal credit card – was eliminated earlier, CTA officials said in March. Also removed earlier was a $10 an hour fee for "account research'' to resolve account discrepancies, officials said.
Meanwhile, CTA customers who pay cash fares will be charged $3 for a single-ride rail ticket. It's a 33 percent fare increase over the current $2.25 rail fare.
CTA president Forrest Claypool has said the $3 fare is necessary to discourage people from continuing to buy single-ride disposable tickets because they are overly expensive to produce, and to encourage riders to switch to the Ventra system.
The CTA expects to save $50 million over 10 years by moving to the Ventra system. The new open fare-payment system is the product of a $454 million contract with Cubic Transportation Systems Inc. and involving partners that include First Data Corp., MetaBank and MasterCard.

China tariffs prompt Trump to 'order' American companies to sever China ties
President Trump "ordered" U.S. companies to cut ties in China, later clarifying that he was threatening to use the Emergency Economic Powers Act.
BIARRITZ, France — President Donald Trump is threatening to use the emergency authority granted by a powerful, but obscure federal law to make good on his tweeted "order" to U.S. businesses to cut ties in China amid a spiraling trade war between the two nations.
China's announcement Friday that it was raising tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. imports sent Trump into a rage and White House aides scrambling for a response.
Trump fired off on Twitter, declaring American companies "are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China." He later clarified that he was threatening to make use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in the trade war, raising questions about the wisdom and propriety of making the 1977 act used to target rogue regimes, terrorists and drug traffickers the newest weapon in the clash between the world's largest economies.
It would mark the latest grasp of authority by Trump, who has claimed widespread powers not sought by his predecessors despite his own past criticism of their use of executive powers.
"For all of the Fake News Reporters that don't have a clue as to what the law is relative to Presidential powers, China, etc., try looking at the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977," Trump tweeted late Friday. "Case closed!"
The act gives presidents wide berth in regulating international commerce during times of declared national emergencies. Trump threatened to use those powers earlier this year to place tariffs on imports from Mexico in a bid to force the U.S. neighbor to do more to address illegal crossings at their shared border.
It was not immediately clear how Trump could use the act to force American businesses to move their manufacturing out of China and to the U.S, and Trump's threat appeared premature — as he has not declared an emergency with respect to China.
Even without the emergency threat, Trump's retaliatory action Friday — further raising tariffs on Chinese exports to the U.S. — had already sparked widespread outrage from the business community.
"It's impossible for businesses to plan for the future in this type of environment," David French, senior vice president for government relations at the National Retail Federation, said in a statement.
The Consumer Technology Association called the escalating tariffs "the worst economic mistake since the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 — a decision that catapulted our country into the Great Depression."
And trade association CompTIA stressed the logistical strain that would follow if companies were forced to shift operations out of China, saying it would take months for most companies.
"Any forced immediate action would result in chaos," CEO Todd Thibodeaux said in emailed comments.
Presidents have often used the act to impose economic sanctions to further U.S. foreign policy and national security goals. Initially, the targets were foreign states or their governments, but over the years the act has been increasingly used to punish individuals, groups and non-state actors, such as terrorists.
Some of the sanctions have affected U.S. businesses by prohibiting Americans from doing business with those targeted. The act also was used to block new investment in Burma in 1997.
Congress has never attempted to end a national emergency invoking the law, which would require a joint resolution. Congressional lawmakers did vote earlier this year to disapprove of Trump's declared emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border, only to see Trump veto the resolution.
China's Commerce Ministry issued a statement Saturday condemning Trump's threat, saying, "This kind of unilateral, bullying trade protectionism and maximum pressure go against the consensus reached by the two countries' heads of state, violate the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and seriously damage the multilateral trading system and normal international trade order."

No Rest in Peace for Gay Rights: Times Mars Memory of Cracker Barrel Founder
The New York Times, pushing gay-rights activism even in death. Reporter Douglas Martin's obituary on Tuesday for Danny Evins, founder of the Cracker Barrel chain of restaurants that dot highways throughout the South, heavily emphasized his 20-year-old position on openly gay employees. The Times devoted the headline and several paragraphs, including the lead, to the old news. 'Danny Evins, Restaurant Founder And Focus of Controversy, Dies at 76.' The text box read: "Imposing, and later dropping, a policy to reject gay employees." (In contrast, the Washington Post kept it out of the headline and devoted just two sentences to the incident.)
Danny Evins, who created Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, a restaurant heavy on grits and nostalgia, expanded it into a $2 billion chain and then fought a losing battle to discriminate against gay employees, died on Saturday in Lebanon, Tenn. He was 76.
The idea of staking out real estate at exits on Interstate highways to establish a distinctive alternative to fast food - one that included gift shops featuring homemade jellies in old-fashioned glass jars - elicited raves from financial analysts, truck drivers and children just glad to be out of the car.
His tone was considerably harsher when it came to defending a January 1991 directive to all the company's restaurants to fire employees 'whose sexual preferences fail to demonstrate normal heterosexual values.' Mr. Evins's explanation for the edict was that gay people made customers in rural areas uncomfortable. As many as 16 openly or suspected gay employees were promptly fired.
Protests erupted at restaurants in dozens of cities and towns; boycotts were organized; and shareholders complained.
At a time when discrimination against gay people was not prohibited under the laws of most states or the federal government, and many companies practiced it, Cracker Barrel's action stood out for its sheer blatancy.
Martin co-wrote the August 2009 obituary for conservative journalist Robert Novak, which also featured strong language for an obituary: "On cable television, Mr. Novak was the often churlish commentator in the three-piece suit, his eyebrows, it seemed, permanently arched."
Martin prefers leftists. In a July 2010 obit for alarmist climatologist Stephen Schneider he identified Paul Ehrlich as a 'biologist and population expert.' In his discredited 1968 best-seller 'The Population Bomb,' Ehrlich infamously called for the U.S. government to take "immediate action" to halt population growth, in order to avert mass death by starvation in the 1970s. (Some 'expert.')

The DHPA's Archaeology Team administers programs for protecting and preserving Indiana's prehistoric and historic archaeological sites and the valuable information that they contain. The DHPA is the central repository of archaeological records and reports for the state and also houses the state's official computerized database of archaeological site information.
The Archaeology Team's primary responsibility is to review, evaluate, and comment upon projects that may affect archaeological resources. Other duties include: implementing the state law providing protection for archaeological sites and human remains, maintaining standards and guidelines for the archaeology community, reviewing grant-funded archaeological projects, reviewing National Register nominations for archaeological sites, reviewing plans for development near cemeteries, providing technical assistance and advice to the public and professionals, and undertaking public education initiatives.
Environmental Review
The primary duty of the team is to review and comment on the potential effects of federal and state undertakings or projects on archaeological resources (USC 470f; 36 CFR Part 800; IC 14-21-1). The Archaeology Staff coordinates environmental reviews with the Historic Structures Review Section of DHPA and occasionally conducts site inspections and holds consultations with archaeologists conducting projects under these laws, rules, and regulations. Under state law, the Archaeology Team reviews surface and underground coal mining projects in Indiana (IC 14-34-3-10; 312 IAC 25). In addition, the team reviews development plans for projects that will disturb the ground within 100 feet of a cemetery or burial ground for the purpose of excavating or covering over the ground or erecting, altering, or repairing any structure (IC 14-21-1-26.5). The team also reviews environmental impact statements.
In an effort to reduce time and paper, the DHPA archaeological staff, with the assistance of the INDOT CRS archaeological staff has developed an Archaeological Short Report format. This format may be used for archaeological records checks and Phase Ia Reconnaissance regardless of acreage provided that no previously recorded sites are present and that no new sites are found. When an archaeological site, which includes isolated finds, is encountered, a full written report following guidance provided in the Current Guidebook for Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory—Archaeological Sites and the Indiana Cultural Resources Manual will need to be submitted. For projects being conducted under IC 14-21-1, be aware of the requirements of 312 IAC 21-3-8 (d) regarding an abbreviated project completion report and 312 IAC 21-3-8 (e) regarding an archaeological records check or literature search.
Most archaeological sites in the state are located on private property. State statute and rules address issues such as artifact collecting, buying and selling of artifacts, archaeological discoveries and more.

Born and raised in Chicago, Duncan moved to Los Angeles in the early-1990s. While looking for acting work, the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Duncan also worked as a bodyguard for actors including Will Smith and LL Cool J.

Otto Titsling
(Bette Midler/Jerry Blatt/Charlene Seeger)
"This next story is a true story.
It concerns two of my favorite subjects:
industrial theft . . . and-a t-ts!
Mmm, what a combo! This is the story . . .
The inventor of the modern foundation garment
that we women wear today was a German scientist
and opera lover by the name of Otto Titsling!
This is a true story.
His name was Otto Titsling.
What happened to Otto Titsling shouldn't happen to a schnauzer.
It's a very sad story. I feel I have to share it with you."
Otto Titsling, inventor and kraut,
had nothing to get very worked up about.
His inventions were failures, his future seemed bleak.
He fled to the opera at least twice a week.
One night at the opera he saw an Aida
who's t-ts were so big they would often impede her.
Bug-eyed he watched her fall into the pit,
done in by the weight of those terrible t-ts.
Oh, my god! There she blows!
Aerodynamically this bitch was a mess.
Otto eyeballed the diva lying comatose amongst the reeds,
and he suddenly felt the fire of inspiration
flood his soul. He knew what he had to do!
He ran back to his workshop
where he futzed and futzed and futzed.
For Otto Titsling had found his quest:
to lift and mold the female breast;
to point the small ones to the sky;
to keep the big ones high and dry!
Every night he'd sweat and snort
searching for the right support.
He tried some string and paper clips.
Hey! He even tried his own two lips!
Well, he stitched and he slaved
and he slaved and he stitched
until finally one night, in the wee hours of morning,
Otto arose from his workbench triumphant.
Yes! He had invented the worlds first
over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. Hooray!
Exhausted but ecstatic he ran
down the street to the diva's house
bearing the prototype in his hot little hand.
Now, the diva did not want to try the darn thing on.
But, after many initial misgivings,
she finally did.
And the sigh of relief that issued forth
from the diva's mouth
was so loud that it was mistaken by some
to be the early onset of the Siroccan Winds
which would often roll through the Schwarzwald
with a vengeance!
But little did Otto know,
at the moment of his greatest triumph,
lurking under the diva's bed
was none other than the very worst
of the French patent thieves,
Philippe DeBrassiere.
And Phil was watching the scene
with a great deal of interest!
Later that night, while our Brun Hilda slept,
into the wardrobe Philippe softly crept.
He fumbled through knickers and corsets galore,
'til he found Otto's titsling and he ran out the door.
Crying, "Oh, my god! What joy! What bliss!
I'm gonna make me a million from this!
Every woman in the world will wanna buy one.
I can have all the goods manufactured in Taiwan."
"Oh, thank you!"
The result of this swindle is pointedly clear:
Do you buy a titsling or do you buy a brassiere?
"Ohhh! Thank you!"

I went nearly two years living in Philadelphia without trying Capogiro and now I'm kicking myself as I type for not going sooner. I have made it my personal mission to encourage everyone I know to try this place immediately. To misquote Jack Handy, "When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or Capogiro heaven, choose Capogiro heaven. It might be a trick, but if it's not, mmm, boy."
To make up for lost time, Luscious and I went to Capogiro everyday from March 27-31, sometimes we went twice a day, and once, we visited four times in one day! I may be a good eater, but Lush is far and away the best eater I've ever known.
On my first trip to Capogiro, I tried a sample of the Pineapple Mint sorbet and was completely blown away. The mint actually tasted like it was derived from an herb! I can't believe I've put up with faux mint/artificiality for so long. In addition to being ridiculously tasty, the sorbets are completely fat free.
On another visit I ordered a piccolo (small) gelato with Kiwi and Mojito ($4.25). The flavors were wholesome and refreshing. It's truly incredible how the pure essence of each ingredient is creamily captured in the gelato.
On yet another visit, I tried the Gelato con Brioche with Nocciola Piemontese ($4). A scoop of gelato was sandwiched between a freshly toasted brioche roll. The warm bread and cold gelato was amazingly decadent.
Over the course of five days, Luscious, The Astronomer and I tried a plethora of flavors. Here are some of our favorites:
- Arancia con Cardamomon—Sweet oranges with spicy cardamom
- Cassada—Dark chocolate with candied orange peels
- Dark and Stormy—Lemon and Ginger with Sailor Jerry Rum. Don't get lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
- Mojito—tart lime, cool Overbrook Herb Farm mint and rum
- Pepino Melon—Originally from Peru, this thin skinned melon is as sweet as a cucumber, but taste like a cantaloupe. You have to love winter melons!
- Nocciola Piemontese—Hazelnut gelato made with nuts from the Piedmont region of Italy. When this is your first choice, you have your Italian Citizenship
- Uva Rossa—Tart red grapes
- Thai Coconut Milk—Sweet smooth coconut gelato made with coconut milk from Thailand and a hint of coconut rum
- Moro—Sicilian Blood Orange
- Rosemary Honey Goat's Milk—Local goat's milk infused with local rosemary and honey
Now that Luscious is back in Hawaii, I think she misses Capogiro more than me ;-).

Pillow Pocket, a photo by Krousegirl2 on Flickr.
And thank you, inquiring minds (Anna), yes, with the help of a sewing guru friend, I learned how to install a zipper in the back of these pillows!
I would love to insert the picture of the back that I have on Flickr...but I cannot figure out how to upload more than 1 picture to a blog post from Flickr! Can anyone fill me in on that?
Again, this pattern is by Nova, and you can find it here.

If you pretended to be a man for a day, what would you do? One commenter will get a copy of Lord Gray's List!
45 comments:
Morning, Maggie! I'm off to work early today but I'll be here to play later this afternoon.ReplyDelete
Hey, PJ! Thanks so much for having me again! Have a great day at work. I'm working on the last 11,000 words of the current WIP, but I'll check back later too. :)ReplyDelete
In today's society I am really glad that we don't have to pretend to be a man in order to do just about anything. When I was in the Navy I tracked and localized submarines. I had the opportunity to go on a submarine ride for eight hours which was really cool. Because of the sleeping and bathing arrangements, women were not allowed to do more than a day tour. I would love to be able to see what it would be like to actually do a sub tour. I guess it would defintely be more than a day though.ReplyDeleteReplies
It sure is a different military these days, isn't it? I've been on a sub (at dock) before but I wouldn't want to dive in one. I'm way too claustrophobic for that.Delete
I agree...I wouldn't last a day disguised as a man! This new book sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDeleteReplies
I somehow don't think I'd be very effective disguised as a man. Binding the upper body would be a challenge, to say the least! ;-)Delete
In this day and age women no longer have to do that. I do remember a boss telling me that he couldn't pay me the same as my co-worker (doing the same job!) because...."well, you're a woman". Many years later and in a different line of work (electronics manufacturing) my salary passed most of my male counterparts! Right now, I can't think of a thing that I would have to pretend to be a man to do. ;o)ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm of an age when I remember those days too, Betty. As well as many other things that would not be tolerated in the workplace today!Delete
Betty, one of the first jobs I applied for out of college was at a big insurance company. I got thru all the hoops until one executive told me I was "too young, too blonde and too pretty." I didn't know whether to be insulted or flattered, LOL. Now I could sue the pants off him, altho no one is apt to say the same thing anymore. :)ReplyDelete
Ora, I would freak out if I had to go in a submarine. I didn't even l;ike it in a theme park once, LOL.ReplyDelete
If I had to pretend it would be close to home. I'd expect to be waited on hand & foot.ReplyDelete
Hi Maggie - I just want to say first I love, love the cover of Lord Gray's List!ReplyDelete
I have to agree with Mary, if I were to pretend to be a man, I sure wouldn't do anything around the house! No dishes, no fixing dinner or lunches, or anything!Replies
I agree! It's an awesome cover and the story inside is so very good!Delete

I don't think I would be able to pretend to be a man very well. My sister and I have often talked about how when we leave the house and leave our kids with their fathers we always have to kind of do a "transfer of responsibility" and make sure that they know we are leaving and they are now in charge of the kids. They never do any type of checking to make sure we know we are responsible for the kids when they leave - they just assume that we are going to take care of them. I don't think that I could move far enough away from that mom mentality to make a very convincing man.ReplyDelete
I think you would have to have a lot of guts to pretend to be a man, and it would be very hard to convince a man you had to work with. I wouldn't won't to try.ReplyDelete
Hi Maggie! Great to see you here back at The Dish. I love romances where the heroine goes "undercover" as a man, especially in Eloisa's Duchess by Night and Maya Rodale's Tale of Two Lovers. If I were a man, I'd take my cue from Julianna from Maya's book, and try to sneek into that all-male bastion that is White's. Then there is the ultimate man experience of collapsing on the couch all weekend drinking beer and watching football, but 1) I don't like football (Sorry PJ! :)) and I don't like beer, so I think I'll pass, lolReplyDeleteReplies
Eliminate the beer and that's the ultimate PJ experience. You know me well, Lisa! lol!Delete
Hi, Maggie! Welcome back and congrats on the new release!ReplyDelete
Wow, what an interesting question...one I've never been asked before. I'm not sure what I'd do! I'll have to think about it....
Well, I really like being a female so I really don't have a desire to be a guy just to be a guy. However, If I had the opportunity to step into a guy's shoes for a day, I would want to see what men do in their special man caves of today or gentlemen's clubs of yesteryear. Hopefully, I could impart some gem of wisdom to them to be more compassionate and considerate of women too. If I was successful at that, I would say my mission was complete!ReplyDelete
I'm really looking forward to reading "Lord Gray's List" and have it at the top of my Wish List.
I think it's wonderful most of us are pretty comfortable as women. We don't even want to sneak into a locker room, LOL. (the smells! the sweat! ugh) Thanks so much for the comments so far!ReplyDelete
I enjoy reading stories where women have attempted changing places but like most of the others, there aren't too many places where it would be necessary anymore except when it comes to pay (sigh). I think of the days when I worked as a secretary and how unfair everything was. I had a boss that demanded women have short hair (so I wore a wig for 2 yrs.) and asking what kind of birth control you used was perfectly acceptable and pants were not allowed. I was told since I was married I didn't need to make much money and that the allotted funds for raises needed to go to the men. This was in the 70's but it seems like the stone ages. Sorry, for the rant lol. Your book sounds like a fun read that I would enjoy!ReplyDelete

Eeerm... I would... Do guy things? I don't know! Being a girl it to much fun! :-)ReplyDelete
I could never pass for a boy or even a man, so I wouldn't even try. However, if I was a man, I would prefer not to do housework, cooking, or laundry. Lol!ReplyDelete
I feel good in my woman skin and although I believe men still have advantages we don't get to enjoy, I am not sure I would like to trade places...but I would love to be a fly on the wall when they gather at a bar or at a friend's house for a game! Please don't count me in the contest. I have my copy and I cannot wait to start reading it. It sounds awesome!ReplyDelete
Hi Maggie, congrats on the release! If I pretended to be a man for one day, I would want to do it in a historical romance setting. I'd clomp about the place, ride a horse wildly across the moors, drink brandy until I was cross-eyed! Would I go as far as to challenge someone to a duel, hmmm~ ;)ReplyDelete
Hi Maggie, I love the cover and concept of your new release! It's going on my TBR List right now.ReplyDelete
On being a man.....(tapping on my desk) Nope, not for me. Why be a man when I'm great at being a woman! Congrats on your new book!
Congratulations on next Tuesday's release of Lord Gray's List, Maggie. It's a terrific book, and I hope it gets all the readers and all the accolades it deserves. I loved it!ReplyDelete
The chicks-in-pants trope is one of my favorites in historical romance, and has been since I first read Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades many, many years ago, but I can't imagine disguising myself as a male. I think the women who have done so in fiction and fact must have had considerably less generous curves that I've had since the age of twelve. I'd have to settle for a monk's robes. :)
Thanks for the fun post and giveaway! Ummm... I don't think I'd want to be a man :) I love reading about gender switches but not for me in real life :)ReplyDelete
How interesting!! That sounds like so much fun. I know what we women talk about in the bathroom... Don't you wonder if guys dish like we do? I doubt it... but it would be fun to know...ReplyDeleteReplies
Growing up with four brothers and their friends, I'd say guys probably do that a lot more than we imagine!Delete
Congrats for the book maggie!ReplyDelete
If i can be a man for one day? i don't know what i'll do, cause there's nothing much that a woman can't do nowadays
In days past there were definite advantages to pretending to be a man, but these days if I impersonated a man, I'd probably try to infiltrate a group of guys to see if I could learn anything interesting. They'd probably just be talking about sports though. :DReplyDeleteReplies
Talking sports? I'd fit right in! :)Delete
Hi Everybody! Sheesh, I didn't expect to be this late! So sorry, Maggie!ReplyDelete
Not sure... I am lucky enough that I don't feel too 'restricted' by being a man....ReplyDelete
I'm not sure what I would do. Perhaps its just a sign of modern times, but can't think of anything that I couldn't do if I really wanted. Going to a strip club comes to mind, but I've known women who have gone & would be willing to go on a lark without having to pretend to be a guy. I suspect the haunts of women only are more common today & hold more mystery than those of men ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
When I was young, I always envied my brothers their ability to write their names in the snow. I wanted to be a boy for one day so I could do that too. It was an impulse I outgrew, thankfully! lol!Delete
I don't think I'd want to be a man even for a day!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm with you, Linda. I really do enjoy being a girl. :)Delete
I would love to be a pro QB and play a game at Lambeau Field in GB!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Now that's a lofty goal, Laurie! I'd love to attend a game at Lambeau (what atmostphere!) but, with my luck, if I played QB, I'd get sacked by a 300 pound linebacker and have to be taken off the field on a stretcher. Of course, there would be all those thousands of rabid Packers fans cheering me as I left. That would be pretty good compensation. ;-)Delete
Thanks, Maggie for visiting with us. Wishing you all the best with LORD GRAY'S LIST. It really is a terrific book and I had so much fun reading it!ReplyDelete
Again, thanks so much for having me! What fun responses! I don't think I'd trade my life for a second--just shaving every day would be annoying!ReplyDelete
I'd go into one of those clubs that only men are allowed into & see what they are all up to in there!ReplyDelete

By MARK SCOLFORO, Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky lost a bid Wednesday for a new trial and a second chance to convince a jury he is innocent of the child sexual abuse charges that landed him in state prison to serve a lengthy sentence.
Judge John Foradora denied Sandusky's requests for a new trial or for dismissal of charges.
The former Penn State assistant football coach's lawyers have 30 days to start an appeal of the judge's decision to the Superior Court. They did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
Sandusky, 73, has consistently maintained he was wrongly convicted. He argued that he did not receive adequate representation at his 2012 trial and that prosecutors should have disclosed more details about changes to victims' stories.
"Although he was denied access to the victims' psychological records, Sandusky was permitted to call witnesses to explore whether the victims had undergone repressed memory therapy prior to trial, and he did explore that subject" with victims and other witnesses, Foradora wrote.
Foradora also rejected arguments that Sandusky's lawyers should not have let him waive a preliminary hearing, should not have allowed him to give a television interview after his arrest, and should have done more to challenge the identity of a young man described as Victim 2 in court records.
The judge said the bulk of Sandusky's claims lacked merit.
"Those that remain, whether they fail for want of prejudice or because (trial defense attorney Joe) Amendola's actions or failure to act were informed by a reasonable strategy, do not combine to call into question the overall effectiveness of the defense counsel provided or the legitimacy of the verdict," Foradora concluded.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said prosecutors have "achieved justice" for Sandusky's victims and are confident the convictions will stand.
"Hopefully, today's decision will allow the victims of Mr. Sandusky to live their lives knowing that this serial sexual abuser will remain behind bars," said Shapiro, a Democrat.
Sandusky has been serving a 30- to 60-year sentence. Eight of his accusers testified at trial, describing abuse that ranged from grooming and fondling to violent sexual attacks.
The case, among the biggest scandals in college football history, led to major changes at Penn State and new state laws governing child abuse in Pennsylvania and other states.
Sandusky spent three decades at the university as an assistant to Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno before retiring in 1999.
The decision follows previous rulings against Sandusky by the state's Supreme and Superior courts.
Foradora was brought in nearly a year ago after the trial judge, John Cleland, removed himself in response to sharp criticism by Sandusky's lawyers of a meeting that Cleland participated in before Sandusky waived a preliminary hearing in 2011.
Penn State's former president, Graham Spanier, and two other ex-administrators, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, were sentenced to jail time earlier this year after Spanier was found guilty and the others pleaded guilty to child endangerment for their handling of a 2001 complaint about Sandusky showering with a boy. Spanier is free on bail while he appeals his conviction.
The scandal has cost Penn State more than $200 million in fines, settlements and other costs, and the football program was hit with significant NCAA penalties that were later dialed back.

Go-getters fall short in happiness and health, new study shows
Published: February 29, 2012 / Author: Shannon Chapla
People who are considered ambitious attend the best colleges and universities, have prestigious careers and earn high salaries, but they don't necessarily lead more successful lives, according to new research by Timothy Judge, professor of management at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business.
The lead author of "On the Value of Aiming High: The Causes and Consequences of Ambition" forthcoming from the Journal of Applied Psychology, Judge seeks to create a better understanding of ambition — a commonly mentioned but poorly understood concept in social science research — and its consequences.
Is it a virtue, or is it a vice? Both, says Judge.
"If ambition has its positive effects, and in terms of career success it certainly seems that it does, our study also suggests that it carries with it some cost," Judge says. "Despite their many accomplishments, ambitious people are only slightly happier than their less-ambitious counterparts, and they actually live somewhat shorter lives."
Tracking 717 high-ability individuals over seven decades, Judge uses multiple criteria to measure ambition during periods of participants' lives ranging from childhood to young adults just beginning their careers. Their education ranged from attending some of the world's best universities — Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, Northwestern, Berkeley, Oxford and Notre Dame — to more modest educations, including high school diplomas and community college degrees.
"Ambitious kids had higher educational attainment, attended highly esteemed universities, worked in more prestigious occupations and earned more," Judge says. "So, it would seem that they are poised to 'have it all.' However, we determined that ambition has a much weaker effect on life satisfaction and actually a slightly negative impact on longevity (how long people lived). So, yes, ambitious people do achieve more successful careers, but that doesn't seem to translate into leading happier or healthier lives."
Specializing in personality, leadership, moods, emotions and career and life success, Judge has published more than 130 articles in refereed journals, including more than 80 in top-tier journals. His study "Do Nice Guys — and Gals — Really Finish Last?" published last year, was widely cited in the media.
Judge's new ambition study tracks individuals born in the early part of the last century and continued to follow them throughout their lives, which is how the mortality measure was derived; however, it doesn't address the underlying reasons for the higher mortality of ambitious people.
"Perhaps the investments they make in their careers come at the expense of the things we know affect longevity: healthy behaviors, stable relationships and deep social networks."
Most parents want their kids to be ambitious, attend the best schools and eventually have successful careers, and while it certainly isn't wrong to have those parental hopes and dreams, Judge cautions that we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking they will make our kids happier.
"If your biggest wish for your children is that they lead happy and healthy lives, you might not want to overemphasize professional success. There are limits to what our ambitions bring us — or our children."

You fools! You've never taken the Volkswagen Golf R models seriously. Now, VW — in addition to making a 296 horsepower Golf R with a manual and a DSG — is said to be making an even hotter "Evo" version. You and your Subaru will pay for your arrogance now!
At least, that's what I believe to be the mentality at VW these days upon learning from Auto Express that a more extreme Golf R is in the works. The magazine cites an inside source in saying that a Golf R Evo is set to debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April.
It will have a little more power than the standard Golf R, but mainly it will be faster because it will lose a bunch of weight. Rear seats? Who needs those?
Replacing the rear seats with a roll-cage, using thinner bucket seats in the front and fitting lighter alloys, along with a carbon-fibre roof and sections of carbon-fibre bodywork, would slash the R's 1,476kg (3,254 pounds) kerbweight. If VW can cut around 100kg, that would bring it into line with the front-wheel drive Golf GTI despite a significant power advantage.
It's said to be something like the Audi TT Ultra Quattro concept, which also dumped a bunch of weight to get hard and fast. That car did zero to 60 in just 4.2 seconds; if this Golf can get anywhere near that, it could put some fear into the actual Evos of the world. We'll wait and see if it becomes real or not.

I have also been helping Master A (who would like to be known as Big Al from now on...part of his new Blog persona!) with some physiotherapy on his arm after fracturing his Ulna (click here if you would like to read about his injury!) and I have been helping Miss M (who would now like to be known as Maddy as part of her Blog persona!) study for exams and prepare for her final debate of the year.
I don't know about you but when I am feeling stressed and I need to relax, I listen to some music and head to the kitchen...not to eat but to bake and cook! Yesterday I decided to make some cookies, but not just any old cookies....
I know the name of these cookies is a bit Undesirable but my family will Unequivocally agree with me that these cookies are Delicious! To make these Ugly cookies you will need one stick or 115 grams or 8 tablespoons of butter, 200 grams or 8 oz of dark chocolate, 50 grams or 2 oz of chopped unsweetened chocolate and 1cup of white chocolate chips.
You will also need 3 eggs,3/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 11/2 cups of self-rising flour (or you can use plain flour and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder) and a pinch of salt.
First set your oven to 350F or 180C and line 3 baking trays with baking paper. In the top part of a double boiler, over hot, not simmering, water, melt the butter with the chocolate. Remove from heat, and let stand until tepid, about 10 minutes. You can also take the quick option and melt them very slowly on low heat in the microwave...that is how I did it!
Using a hand-held mixer set at high speed, beat the eggs and sugar for about 2 minutes, until light and foamy.
Beat in the vanilla and chocolate mixture, just until blended. Stir in the flour, baking powder if you are using it and salt. Then stir in the white choc chips.
Now, at this stage you might be looking at this runny batter and panicking-don't! It is meant to be a bit runny. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough about 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets for a fudgy and flat cookie, or refrigerate the dough for a couple hours for a puffier cookie that doesn't spread as much.
I added some sprinkles to some...to make the uglies a bit prettier!
Bake the cookies for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they're slightly cracked. The cookie needs to remain soft and gooey inside.
The whole family loved these cookies!
I love this recipe and I know that my family will want me to make these again! I also loved singing along to some of my favourite songs as I cooked. One song I love to play when I need to lift my spirits is "Up" by Shania Twain.
I Hope your day is fabulous and thanks again for spending time with me today-I love it when friends drop by!
Best wishes,
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do. Lucille Ball.

Ta'amu quietly lands on Steelers' practice squad
Defensive lineman Alameda Ta'amu, who faces multiple charges after an ugly alcohol-related incident last month, was the Pittsburgh Steelers' problem. And he still is.
Released Monday, Ta'amu quietly has been added to the team's practice squad, without press release or Twitter announcement or fanfare of any kind. Instead, a reader points out that Ta'amu now appears on the official roster as a member of the up-to-eight-man group of extra players who help a team have enough bodies for in-season practices.
This means that no team made a waivers claim for the 2012 fourth-round pick from Washington, and that he chose to return to the Steelers in a limited, less-paying role.
It also means that he wasn't cut as further punishment for the allegations against him, but that the team decided that he simply wasn't good enough to be one of the 53 players on the official roster, given the need to elevate a receiver because of the Antonio Brown injury. The team previously suspended Ta'amu two games without pay after his arrest.
Ta'amu remains free to sign with any team's 53-man roster. Given that no one claimed him on waivers, however, it's unlikely that he'll be surfacing elsewhere.

If You Know These 20 Korean Words, You're Probably A K-Pop Junkie
Most people don't become fluent in Korean just by listening to K-Pop, but if you listen to enough of it you're bound to pick up certain words and phrases. These are some of the most common words you'll hear in K-Pop songs.
1. 사랑해/saranghae – "I love you"
This is a phrase you're guaranteed to hear in every K-Pop love song, especially ballads. Although 2NE1 sings "I love you" mostly in English in "I Love You", Minzy raps "saranghae" during her final verse.
2. 처음/cheoeum or 첫/cheot – "First"
Speaking of love, the Korean word for "first" is sure to pop up in songs about first love, like BTS Suga's solo, "First Love". In it, Suga says "cheoeum" when describing his first meeting with his first musical love, the piano.
3. 괜찮아/gwenchanha – "It's okay"
Out of all the common phrases on this list, this one is probably in the top 10 most common, if not in the top 5. It repeatedly shows up in DREAMCATCHER's "Trust Me (It's Okay)", which isn't surprising, considering it's part of its title.
4. 눈물/nun-mul – "Tears"
BTS fans became very familiar with this Korean word after listening to "Blood Sweat & Tears" a billion times. The word "tears" literally translates to "eye water" (nun/눈 + mul/물), and is also in the title of another BTS song, "School of Tears".
5. 몰라/molla – "I don't know"
If you want to add this phrase to your Korean vocabulary, just listen to BTOB's "I Don't Know" and INFINITE's "I Don't Know" on replay.
6. 추억/chueok – "Memory"
Many K-Pop songs reminisce about the good times and the bad ones, so the word "memory" can be found in an abundance of lyrics, such as iKON's "Love Scenario".
7. 나쁜/nappeun – "Bad"
K-Pop has bad girls and bad boys, but never bad songs! The word "bad" can be heard in the intro of CL's "Baddest Female", near the end of NCT 127's "Baby Don't Like it", and throughout Tablo's "Bad".
8. 하루/haru – "One day"
BIGBANG fans have had this Korean word in their hearts since BIGBANG dropped "Haru Haru". Using "haru" once indicates a single day, but using it twice, like in "Haru Haru", means "day by day."
9. 지금/jigeum – "Now"
"Now" is a very common word in both English and Korean, so it's not surprising that it's shown up many times in K-Pop songs like B.A.P's "Now" and IU's "Now".
10. 다시/dashi – "Again"
"Dashi" is a Korean word K-Pop addicts will hear again, and again…and again. This word comes in handy for any repeat situation, whether it's meeting a friend again, falling in love again, or starting over again. To hear "dashi" check out TWICE's "Do It Again".
11. 오늘/oneul – "Today"
"Oneul" is sure to pop up in songs about time and living in the moment. It can be heard in both DAY6's "Lean on Me" and iKON's "Today".
12. 마음/maeum – "Heart, mind, feeling"
"Maeum" is often used to describe the feelings of the heart, so you'll hear singers expressing their warm, fuzzy feelings by using "maeum" in their lyrics. You'll hear it in "Dreams Come True" by Cosmic Girls and "White" by GFRIEND.
13. 처럼/choreom – "Like"
In this context ,"like" is used to compare two nouns in a simile, not to indicate affection. It can be heard in "So Into U" by f(x).
14. 기다리다/gidarida – "To wait"
If you listen to a lot of K-Pop, chances are you've heard two different forms of this verb: gidarilgae/기다릴게 "I will wait" and gidaryeojwo/기다려줘 "please wait". The first shows up in "Tired of Waiting" by 2PM and the second is in "Rush on You" by MXM.
15. 심장/simjang – "Heart"
There are two common versions of "heart" that you'll hear in K-Pop. The first is "마음/maeum", which refers to the heart as a place of emotion and feelings. The second is, "simjang", which refers to the physical heart beating in your chest. It can be heard in BTOB's "Heart Attack".
16. 꿈/kkoom – "Dream"
Dreams, wishes, and wistfulness are all common themes in K-Pop, so "kkoom" is one of the easiest words to pick up just by listening to music. You'll hear it in "She's Dreaming" by EXO.
17. 예뻐/yeppeo – "Pretty"
How many K-Pop songs have been written about pretty girls and pretty boys? Hundreds (probably). The word "pretty" comes up in "Pretty" by NU'EST, "Replay" by SHINee, "Pretty" by B1A4, and of course "Pretty Pretty" by Ladies Code.
18. 그리워[해]/geuriweo(hae) – "I miss you"
BTS fans already know "bogo shipeo/보고싶어)", thanks to "Spring Day", but "geuriweo" is another way to express how much you're missing someone. You'll hear it a lot in BTOB's "Missing You".
19. 친구/chingu – "Friend"
Many K-Pop songs are about friendship, so it's no wonder why "chingu" is such a commonly heard word. You'll hear it in "Can You Feel It?", a D&E song by Super Junior BFFs Donghae and Eunhyuk.
20. 영원히/yeongwonhee – "Forever"
If you want to express your eternal love for K-Pop, use "yeonwonhee", as heard in "Forever" by Girls' Generation.
