![]() ![]() Lucas Armstrong had been a good customer of Eden’s coming to Crazy Pussy for a good year before he’d proposed marriage. She had been one eviction notice away from homelessness, and he’d done it to, “keep her from ruining his younger brother’s life,” as he’d put it. He’d made their roles distinctively clear from the beginning, and she’d gone along with it because she’d needed the protection of his name and the money that went along with it. They were up in the Grafton Highlands, at another dull event that he’d dragged her to, because he wanted to flaunt her to his equally wealthy friends. Eden grabbed a champagne flute from the tray of a passing waiter before escaping to the veranda for some much needed air. ![]() ![]() She sighed resignedly, daring to look away fully knowing that he would discipline her for this unknown reason later. She hadn’t really done anything in the last few minutes to warrant the reaction, but then again, Dominic Armstrong didn’t need much to set him off these days. ![]() Like now for instance, she could feel that piercing stare from across the room, the distinct bite of his scorn putting her instantly on alert. He never failed to remind her of her status in their marriage, whether it was with his remarks, that have only grown nastier over the years, or the reproachful looks, that seemed to carve across her flesh like a whip. It was on occasions like these that Eden realized how very little she mattered to her husband. ![]()

![]() ![]() Like Madame, she knows this Queen would never abandon her hive. The police want to rule it as a tragic accident or possible attempted suicide, but Clare does not believe either theory. ![]() One night, a swarm of escaped bees blanket the Village Blend's chimney, and Clare discovers Bea's unconscious body after she seemingly fell from her elaborate high-rise rooftop greenhouse. Produced by Madame's old friend "Queen" Bea Hastings, the rare, prize-winning nectar from Bea's rooftop hives commands a premium price, and top chefs compete for a chance to use it in their signature seasonal dishes. The culinary world is also abuzz about the amazing honey that Clare was lucky enough to source for her shop's new latte. Clare plans to serve her outstanding new Honey-Cinnamon Latte at her spring wedding to her longtime honey, NYPD detective Mike Quinn. While struggling to find a romantic (and affordable) destination for her upcoming honeymoon, coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi whips up a honey of a drink made from honey-processed coffee. "Clare Cosi is busy as a bee planning her honeymoon when murder buzzes into the Village Blend in this all-new mystery in the beloved New York Times bestselling Coffeehouse Mysteries by Cleo Coyle.

With that being said, I found this gem of Johnny and June’s son John Carter Cash, singing the couple’s legendary hit song “Jackson,” with his wife Ana Cristina Cash.Īlthough John Carter doesn’t quite have the incredibly deep vocals that his father had, and hell, there probably aren’t too many that can get that low (he also doesn’t have the hair his dad had either, but hey we can’t all get that lucky), but it’s easy to see the musical talent ran rapid through the family, and the two put together an awesome rendition of the song. Needless to say, I’m questioning how I’ve made it this far in my life without watching this movie, and I’ve found myself going down rabbit holes of Johnny and June videos on YouTube. I finished watching Walk The Line last night, the iconic biopic movie documenting the life of Johnny Cash, and his roller coaster relationship with June Carter until they finally got married. ![]() ![]() ![]() Novak from his TV and film roles, but their kiddos will know him as one of the funniest authors around.

But a sobering new book has just arrived that should scare every living Californian silly - and it was written by one of our own. Most Californians have had a bellyful of hearing how unnatural it is to live here, coming as it usually does from people who spend half the year putting on six layers of clothing just to fetch the morning paper. What if the pioneers had settled America from west to east - from California toward the Atlantic - instead of the other way around? Just for starters, we'd probably see way more statistics calculating the economic destructiveness of nature's most underestimated act of God: winter. ![]() ![]() Marlow, the recurring storyteller in a number of Conrad's novels, pieces together the story of his subject from a variety of sources. The novel is distinctive for its narrative style. Lord Jim is one of Conrad's best loved renditions. The work is laden with the ambiguities from which Conrad himself seemed to draw the only possibility of truth. Known for his visionary yet dark, poetic prose style, Conrad negotiated among his international nautical settings with detailed views of individual quandaries, especially moral ones. Typical of Conrad's work, Lord Jim emerges from real events to take on a life of its own. (The second half of the novel takes place there, in the village of Patusan on the island of Borneo.) ![]() Conrad had spent much of the time between 18 in the area that is now Indonesia. ![]() Lord Jim, published in 1900, initially began as a short story based on a real incident involving a steamship called Jeddah, which carried Muslim pilgrims from Singapore to Mecca. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this chapter he reviews the true nature of health, awareness and attention, dynamic extension and he introduces the gunas (qualities of nature in yoga). I love this book and quote from it frequently.Ĭhapter 1 – Stability: The yogi knows that the physical body is not only the temple for our soul but the means by which we embark on the inward journey to the core… The physical body corresponds to one of the elements of nature, namely, the earth.You are also developing the qualities of earth within yourself: solidity, shape, firmness, and strength. ![]() A 30 minute yoga practice will conclude each session.

April builds trust with the bear and helps him by removing the plastic from his paw. He is very thin from lack of food and his paw is wrapped tightly in plastic rubbish from the sea. ![]() ![]() However, April has not been on the island long when she finds and befriends a stranded polar bear. April wonders if she might see a polar bear but is told that there are no bears living there anymore because the ice caps around the island have retreated further north due to global warming. The pair are staying on an uninhabited isle named Bear Island. April’s Dad is very sad as he is grieving for April’s Mum who died and he spends all his time shut away working. April hopes that this will be a wonderful adventure with her father but sadly that is not to be. The Last Bear is about an 11-year-old girl named April who is going on a 6-month meteorological research trip with her dad. ![]() Reviewed By William and Esther – age 10 (with some notes from Mummy at the end) ![]() ![]() Basically a wand is waved and we have a determinate result at the end." Someone just has to say "Well something funky happens during the measurement process. It seems as if these concerns are never addressed, and in all honesty, true randomness is almost like magic. Where is this indeterministic/random "event" or "interaction" coming from? Does it come from nowhere, like a space invader in Newtonian dynamics? How is this possible? And why does it seem to follow objective probabilities at the very least? What "fixes" that probabilistic distribution, and why must it be fixed like that instead of being completely random/chaotic (in the sense of completely patternless, not Chaos Theory, which is fully deterministic)? This I cannot understand, and I honestly think the people who nonchalantly say "Well the amazing thing is the Universe is inherently random!" really aren't thinking things through. However, very often I'll hear someone explain Quantum Mechanics or radioactivity in terms of an inherent indeterminism/randomness in nature. ![]() This I have no problem with, as it centers on epistemological considerations of incomplete information. If we look at the history of probability theory it centers on a lack of knowing the exact outcome of certain games/gambling bets. ![]() I tend to think of randomness as a lack of complete information when it comes to knowing something. ![]() |
