but she was the one girl who didn't beg for his attention.
but then she met Carter Jennings.
Wanted By You is the story of Ellyson (love the name!) and Carter, college best friends who always harbored feelings for the other yet never acted on them while in school. It was the first day of freshman year outside his first class that Carter noticed the gorgeous red headed Elly. He felt drawn to her, wanted to know her, decided then and there he would most definitely be spending as much time with her as possible, even if that meant just as friends. As soon as Carter introduced himself to her, Elly felt the butterflies and honestly they never went away, but she never felt good enough for Carter and did not want to be the girlfriend of every other college girl's fantasy. Elly was grateful to have him her her life and though she wanted more she would never jeopardize their friendship, it was just too important.
Upon graduation circumstances literally force them to put some distance between themselves and it isn't until 5 years later that they once again run into one another. So, what happens upon their reunion? Will they pick back up as friends or will they finally give into the feelings they've always felt? Will life once again get in the way of what could be an epic romance or will it allow these two the happiness they deserve?
All in all I found this book to be such a sweet, tender, heart warming love story...the kind that makes you go aw! Carter is this gorgeous guy whose been in love with Elly probably since the moment they met. He cherished not only their friendship but also Elly as a person. Over the years he's grown, he's had a lot of time to think about what he wants, who he wants to spend the rest of his life with and it always comes back to Elly. I love how passionate he was about her, not only sexually but in supporting her career, giving her encouragement and reassurance when the time called for it. Watching him fight for what he wanted only made him all the more swoon worthy.
Ellyson is no damsel in distress and I couldn't have loved her more. She is gorgeous, confident, successful in her career, has this huge heart and you get the sense people are just drawn to her. She is loyal to her friends and doesn't want to settle in a relationship. While on the one hand she knows is silly to hold a flaming torch for Carter she just hasn't met anyone else whose given her butterflies, and isn't that what all women want? I was so proud of her for being bold and going after what she wanted, and my heart broke right along with her when her fears threaten to force her away from the happiness she deserved.
For me the first half of the book seemed a little to easy going. All the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place and while I enjoy seeing characters get their HEA it just felt as if something was missing from the bigger picture. However after the 50% mark real life starts rearing its head and before I knew it I found myself feeling more connected to this couple, even shedding tears from time to time. Every good story needs a little drama to challenge and test a couple, and I thought the real life drama author Steph Nuss provided was perfect for this couple. Like all good challenges do, the ones Carter and Elly faced I believe really solidified their relationship and made for a more interesting and in depth story. Selfishly I do wish we could have been given a epilogue so we could see a little more of Carter and Elly's future, but I'm excited to see what's in store for the rest of this series and the other characters we met this time around. I'm thinking there are plenty of good story lines that need following!
She's given up on her fantasy.
Personal trainer and gym owner, Maverick Jones isn't thrilled about having a designer mentoring in his new clinic, but after meeting the brunette beauty face-to-face, he dreams of having his way with her.
He's ready to turn his fantasy into reality.
Fantasized By You was an easy read and a fun addition to Steph Nuss' Love In the City series. While this book can be read as a stand-alone I enjoyed getting to see more Maverick and Harper after having first met them in Wanted By You. While one might consider a top fashion designer and a gym owner who hates the fashion industry with a passion and subsequently anyone associated with it an unlikely couple Harper and Maverick have no problems proving them wrong!
One might think Harper Jennings has it all. A celebrity in her own right due to her coveted designs who lives in NYC and travels all over the world, some may think she has the perfect life but Harper a recovering bulimic wants nothing more than to work a little less and find happiness in her personal life. To one day have a husband who loves and cherishes her and little ones who depend on her as their mother. But, she's nearing thirty and she's afraid she won't find a HEA in her personal life.
Maverick Jones wasn't looking to fall in love, especially not with a fashion designer. After all it's her industry he blames for the death of one his close friends due to anorexia. He's held a grudge ever since, no longer wanting to feel helpless he finally succeeds in his mission to open a health and wellness clinic at his gym for people struggling with all sorts of vices, especially eating disorders. How's someone whose sole profession aids in leading women down the path of destruction in the form of eating disorders going to be able to help anyone. Maverick quickly learns you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and he soon realizes there's much more than first impressions when it comes to Harper Jennings.
I really liked Maverick, other than his initial quick rash judgement and reaction towards Harper, he was all around a great guy, perfect really for Harper. He was able to allow her the opportunity to be herself, with no shame. The way he showed her respect and gave honesty allowed her the chance to become confident in herself in regards to their relationship. I loved how what they had from day one was built on honesty and trust. He could care less about her celebrity status, he fell in love with the person behind the stage name. A person who quickly changed his life, giving it more meaning. He was so sweet and protective of her and I loved how he didn't jump to conclusions or let others sway his mind. He put faith in her, gave her his trust and always had her best interest at heart. Even when he was jealous he put her feelings first. He was a true class act. I can see why Harper fell for him so quickly.
Harper was a pretty awesome female character. I loved how strong she grew to be after rehab, how she wouldn't settle for less than exactly what she wanted in her personal life. I appreciated how she valued her time with Maverick and also how passionate she was to helping other girls and women recover from the demons which lead them to anorexia and bulimia.
It was a very cute predictable story, but that's okay with me. I don't mind predictable, in fact I often find comfort in those kind of stories, but if I could have wished for something more with this book it would have been more depth. I felt as though my connections with both characters remained somewhat on the surface. It's as though the words said, they're falling in love, but I didn't really feel myself connecting emotionally. I don't know if it is because I felt as though their relationship and the story was rushed, or if I just needed more of a backstory, more of a build up of them falling in love. One of the things I love most about the story is watching the characters individually fight the brewing chemistry, each encounter leading them closer and closer to the inevitable and then boom it happens! But in this story Maverick and Harper get together and fall in love so quickly that I don't think it gave me enough time to find myself on pins and needles waiting for the moment for the two to push past their reservations and no longer deny the chemistry. If that even makes sense!
It's a fun installment to this series and I will certainly be looking out for the next book, which I am hoping is Fletcher's story. I'm already super intrigued as to how things are going to transpire for him!
The Love in the City series continues with Bayler and Fletcher's story.

Camper routes: some new discoveries
, Museums and exhibitions, Museums Parma
We are sure that you have discovered new places to visit on your camper travels, places that you did not expect to find.
And in fact, this happened to us during a Sunday spent researching camper routes, when we "bumped into" the extremely kind signor Mauro.
In his company, we saw his unique collection and discovered a world of stories and anecdotes of the life and world of this man.
Mauro Parizzi, born in 1949, is one of the many "storers", if you like, of the lost world of the farmer, which not only is not to be found in books or on social networks, but which is usually only found in personal memories.
Mauro welcomed us at the entrance to the Parmigiano Reggiano Museum at Soragna (province of Parma), and we were immediately put at our ease: he welcomed first our four-legged friend Teo and then us, asking if he needed some water. We continue to chat while we get our tickets, about dogs and animals and how beautiful it is to bring them with us as we travel. And talking of which, we should mention that dogs are permitted in all the Food Museums and the Museum of Country Life, which will be our next stop after the Parmigiano Reggiano Musuem.
Together with two other Italian tourists, we begin our tour of the magnificent display of farm tools and machines, a collection of often unique items that ranges from the end of the 19th century to the 1980s.
@Museo della Civiltà Contadina
What marks Mauro out from many other guides I have seen in museums and collections is his passion. Of course, nearly everyone has a passion, for motorbiks, vintage cars or for a job that then leads us to investigate further its history and origins across the ages.
Mauro's particular passion is for his land and the often-difficult life of those who tilled it, a true and honest way of life that has now vanished.
Over the years, he has found (or received as donations) tools and everyday objects of prime importance for the world of the farmer and the domestic life and culture of the farming community.
We start our visit with presentations and explanations of various objects on display in the narrow spaces of a old pig-sty next to the old dairy where the Museum is located. The official site of the collection explains that: "here you can find the whole range of agricultural activity, from the harvesting of the corn, hay and tobacco, the gathering of the grapes for wine, wine-production, the raising of cattle, the work of our dairies and all the initiatives that arise from the work of the countryside. Here we have the entire domestic life, the flour-sifters, the polenta pots, the dough-makers, the tools for bread-making, the small and large aluminium and copper pots, the cake molds, the first portable fridges and the wood and brick stoves…."
But Mauro brings each object to life, explaining not just its function and use, but adding anecdotes and episodes that tie it to everyday country life. We can almost say that he gives life back to each object, via his memories and for some items, the memories of the visitor.
Museum of Country Life at Soragna (province of Parma): its creator
As often happens in places like this, stuffed full of objects, time flies: visitors are transported into another world, a world without "touch" and "like" that is rich in emotions and passion.
And that is also thanks to people like Mauro Parizzi. If you have included the province of Parma on your camper route, we strongly advise stopping at Soragna (and beyond at Rocca Meli Lupi) and the Parmigiano Reggiano Museum, to consider seeing this collection and the deep knowledge of its creator.
You can find the Camper rest-area at Soragna in Via Giacomo Matteotti.

Russia will intervene on Yerevan's side if Azerbaijani troops move across border, Armenian PM Pashinyan insists
By Jonny Tickle

Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that Moscow will intervene if foreign forces encroach on his country's territory. Russian peacekeepers are currently deployed on the Azeri-Armenian contact line.
Speaking to state-funded TV on Sunday, Pashinyan expressed his confidence in Russia's willingness to get involved in case of such an incursion.
In particular, Pashinyan was speaking about Syunik Province, in the country's southernmost region, which sits on the border with Azerbaijan. As a consequence of the autumn war between Baku and Yerevan, many villages in the province are now a stone's throw from Azerbaijani military positions and border posts. In some situations, such as the village of Shurnukh, the new border passes right through.
Also on rt.com Armenian PM Pashinyan says ready to step down – if people vote him out in snap parliamentary election
"As a result of actions [on the border], the war in Syunik was stopped," Pashinyan said. "Now we are positioned so that, in the event of an encroachment against Syunik, not only Armenian armed forces will intervene, but Russian too."
Pashinyan's comments came on the same day as another alleged breach of the Azeri-Armenian ceasefire, with Baku saying that "an illegal armed group of six Armenians" had attacked Azerbaijani forces, with one fatality. Yerevan has denied the reports.

Also on Sunday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed that President Vladimir Putin's friendly relations with both Baku and Yerevan were vital in achieving a truce between the two Caucasian nations.
On September 27, the up-to-then frozen Nagorno-Karabakh conflict suddenly erupted once again. The dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia is decades old, with both countries believing they have legitimate claims to the territory. The region is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but is primarily populated by ethnic Armenians. Baku considered the enclave to be illegally occupied by Yerevan.
Six weeks after the start of the fighting, on November 9, the leaders of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan adopted a trilateral agreement on the cessation of fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. As well as drawing up a new map, the parties also agreed on the deployment of Russian peacekeepers. At the time the truce was signed, Azerbaijan was at a clear advantage.

Leonardo has signed a collaboration agreement with Slovakia's Konstrukta Defence, a leading provider of artillery systems, that will see the two companies working together in the precision-guided ammunition field.
The agreement will see Leonardo's precision-guided Vulcano ammunition integrated onto Konstrukta's ZUZANA 2 155mm/52 cal artillery system, with the two companies going on to jointly market the products internationally. Leonardo and Konstrukta will also explore further collaboration with a view towards developing common defence European capabilities.
The partnership is in line with the goals of the European PeSCo (Permanent Structured Cooperation) initiative, which aims to improve the operational capabilities of member states by pooling resources and developing military equipment in a collaborative manner. Both Italy and Slovakia are members of PeSCo.
155 mm ShKH ZUZANA 2 Self-propelled Gun Howitzer is a Slovak artillery system with a 52-caliber gun and automatic loader for loading of both projectile and charge. It is an updated version of the 45-caliber SpGH ZUZANA and an evolution of the 152mm SpGH DANA self-propelled howitzer.

Bowmore hospital on Islay accused of switching off heating in order to cut costs
NHS bosses at the hospital in Bowmore on Islay came under fire both from members of public and their own staff lately after patients were left shivering in their beds when heating in wards went off.
According to a recent media report on the matter, the wards became cold at 1am, which left patients very cold and nurses unable to provide them with thicker blankets due to health and safety regulations.
Hospital staff claimed that this was an attempt cut costs. However, after receiving numerous complaints from staff, patients and families alike, the hospital decided to quickly drop the unpopular policy.
Any modern building, especially those designed to meet the specific requirements set in the healthcare industry, will certainly require a very effective energy management system to be put in place, and that's exactly where the HeatSave programmable wireless thermostatic valves can really come in handy.
The HeatSave wireless thermostatic valves represent a very good solution for the healthcare industry, where energy costs are 2nd only to labour costs. That's because the TRVs can help customers slash their energy bills by up to an impressive 30 percent by allowing them to thoroughly control the heating patterns for every single one of their radiators.

Q: Find type of data in each column of dataframe I have read this link: Check which columns in DataFrame are Categorical
I have a dataframe where salaries are mentioned with a $ prepended to it. It is also being shown as categorical data.
Moreover suppose my nominal data is not in form of strings such as 'F','M' etc.
Then how do we classify which columns are numeric, categorical (with strings) and nominal?
Say my data looks like this:
ID    Gender   Salary   HasPet
1      M       $250       0
2      F       $5000      0
3      M       $4500      1

A: You are confusing categorical data type with strings (pandas shows it as object).
Numbers can't contain $ dollar sign by their nature and because of that pandas consider Salary column as string and this is correct behavior!
You can easily convert your salary column to integer/float if you want though:
In [180]: df
Out[180]:
   Gender Salary
0       F  $3283
1       M  $6958
2       F  $3721
3       F  $7732
4       M  $7198
5       F  $5475
6       F  $7410
7       M  $8673
8       F  $8582
9       M  $4115
10      F  $8658
11      F  $6331
12      M  $6174
13      F  $6261
14      M  $6212

In [181]: df.dtypes
Out[181]:
Gender    object
Salary    object
dtype: object

let's remove leading $ and convert Salary to int:
In [182]: df.Salary = df.Salary.str.lstrip('$').astype(int)

In [183]: df.dtypes
Out[183]:
Gender    object
Salary     int32
dtype: object

and your Gender column to categorical:
In [186]: df.Gender = df.Gender.astype('category')

In [187]: df.dtypes
Out[187]:
Gender    category
Salary       int32
dtype: object

I'll giveaway a bit of fabric and some patterns on this blog as well.
To enter, become a follower (if you aren't already one) and leave a comment (only one) on this post. Tell me what colors you'd like to see in a future collection. Do you like bright tropical colors or more subdued prints? Do you like rich purples or warm yellows and oranges, or something else entirely?
Don't forget to leave a way for me to contact you should you win.
The winner will be announced on Wednesday, July 13th!
I like that there is purple in the Veranda line. I love purple. Besides purple I love red. I'd love to see a line with deep red.
I'm a follower. I love the yellow tulips on the rich purple background. Thanks for the giveaway! I would also like to see red.
I'm all about intense, clear colors. Nothing muted for me! I think the colors in Veranda are fantastic and I can't wait to get some of the fabrics. If your next collection used colors that would coordinate with Veranda I think that would be great. I'm not a "stick to one collection" kind of quilter, but I do love when several collections work together.
I follow your blog and always enjoy it!
I'm a follower. My quilting lately has involved bright, crisp colors, though I'm also partial to blues, teals and brown. Thanks for the giveaway.
bold, saturated colors are my favorites!
Thanks for the fun here and over at I'm Just a Guy who Quilts!
I already follow your blog. I'm a fan of all the colors you mentioned, deep purple, oranges, yellows, etc. And I think they look great together! I'd also like to see some deep red's as I like red but definitely not that orangey red color. Who's picky? Not me!
I really love navy blue...it goes wih so many things, the dark royal colors but its a wonderful contrast to the brights too!
Am a new Google Reader follower. Just love this line. Will have to get both pink and blue as it's so difficult to choose.
I loved the chocolate colorway of Swiss Chocolate, but I also like greens with browns and creams. btw I am a faithful follower.
It was nice to read the interview. My favorite colors are greens and reds but I also enjoy a variety of others.
I love the colors in the Veranda line - lovely and deep! But I also love collections, like Swiss Chocolate, that include brown. It's so easy to coordinate with home decor. I'd love to see a line of beautiful, rich greens and browns.
THANKS! Love your new patterns!
Purples. I love purple and can't get enough. I hoard my purple stash!
I'm a follower and I seem to fall in love with every colour I see. I can never pick one because another colour or colour combination will grab me sure as sugar.
I do love the colours in Veranda, though, but I'll bet you either want to work on another line that compliments it or you'll be inspired to really change it up. I think it's best when a designer follows their own inclinations rather than catering to the consumer. I'm more of a "build it and they will come" person, providing your heart is in it, which undoubtedly it is.
Can't wait to see what you cook up next!
I am a follower. I love the bright tropical colors mixed with black and white. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm a follower and I just love jewel tones - really saturated colors.
Also a follower! :) I am a bit crazy over bright, cheerful colors.
I'm a follower :) I love all blues, greens with pops of any other color as an accent.
I love Veranda!! Upbeat, fresh & pretty ... I like tropical as well as subdued colors ... it all depends on what I'm making & who it is for ... I'd like to see more 'fun' masculine prints (geometrical, etc.) ... Thanks!
I love purples and yellows.....pansy colors!
My favorite color is purple, so I'd vote for that. Thanks for sharing!
HI, happy follower here! I really enjoy bright colors! Hot pinks, lime greens oranges, yellow, electric blues. The brighter the better in my book!
I just read your interview! Nice info and I love the new collection (the little stippled green pattern is lovely). I really like warm colors (corals, oranges, golds) and usually feel drawn to bright bold patterns, although I really can appreciate a more subdued palette.
I love oranges, yellows, reds ~ but I really haven't met a color that I can't work with. Love,love the colors in the Veranda line. Just absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for the chance to win. Good luck everybody.
I have been a follower for a while. Love your fabric and patterns. I love purple and blue so I am drawn to these in verandah.
i'm a follower! i love the bright colours, but tossing some nice neutrals in for contrast like grey and brown would be my favourite!
I am a follower already :) My favorite color is black and bright colors usually work best with it.
Hi - I am now a follower! I'd like to see a collection with vibrant emerald green and purple prints!
I like rich purples a lot. Eggplant is not just for parmesan and marinara sauce. Yellows and oranges seem to be everywhere right now. Maybe it's just what my eye is catching, maybe it's the season.
p.s. ohmigosh i love swiss chocolate.
I like the saturated colors best with a mix of florals, geometrics, and textured solids. love the purple in the Veranda line; I'd really love to see it with a striking aqua!
I am a follower, I would love to see rich purples, reds and greens together. Of course I have a reason, a son getting married and they are the favorite colours of my son and his soon to be wife.
I am already a humble follower. I would love to see more chocolate and turquoise. There is something so solid and earthy about those colours.
Already a happy follower : ) I'd like to see chocolate brown, royal purple, sunflower yellow and sea blues.
I love the colors in Veranda so much, they are my favorite. Another combination I am liking now is black/white/grey/red which is totally different from some of the brights I usually like. I like rich colors like eggplant with a strong lime green too.
I follow, greens and browns like the forest after a rain.
Such beautiful colors! I love to see lots of bright colors!
I love rich, saturated colours and am a big fan of purple!
Fantastic new line, and thanks for the cute giveaway!
I'd love to see a line of reds to use some of the fabulous embroidery pattern I've been seeing lately as redwork.
I love the colors you used in Veranda, and I am also partial to clear bright jewel colors!
I have loved all of your lines.
I have been looking for a nice mustard print for awhile but can't find one anywhere.
I am a follower. I like the brights that are popular now, but I would like to see some fun colors for boys.
Already a follower -I love my oranges, but would love to see some good "Japanese indigos" - that don't necessarily have a Japanese motif.
I'm a follower already. Would love some rich, saturated blues in different shades. Although I love warm oranges and reds, it's been so hot and dry here in South Texas that I find cooler colors a relief!
I love blues and would like to see the deep rich blues in the future!!
veranda is such a cheerful, colorful group. Thank you for such a generous giveaway.

I am a follower. It depends on my mood whether I like bright or subdued colors. Love pink and green any way you look at it.
Veranda is a wonderful collection, thanks for creating it & sharing it with the world. I tend to lean towards the brights. Though the colors are more often chosen by the recipient.
I love bright colors... pink, aqua, teal, chartreuse, red. I also really, really love navy and gray.
The colours and the style are me! They are gorgeous and I would love to have them. I also love the Garden paths pattern and cannot wait to try it out. Fabulous!
Your new collection is just gorgeous!! Re: colors...I am really partial to raspberry and oranges. I like bright, happy colors that pop!
Amanda - I'm not sure what old blog entry I just commented on, but wanted to add one here to make sure I am in the giveaway! The follow button is not working at this moment; however, I have liked you on FB and have signed up for email notification of new blog entries. I love Veranda - would love to win some fabric or one of your gorgeous new patterns! Thanks.
Love you patterns, fabrics and your blog. I'm new to quilting but I think I can make several of your quilts! Thanks for the chance to win.
I am a follower and an email subscriber. Love Veranda...great colors! I prefer "clear", true,rich colors, not muted, browned out colors. Pastels, brights, etc are all great...just stay away from the drab and the brown. If something is brown I prefer a deep rich black/brown!
I'm a follower and I love grey - it's so versatile!!
I am a follower. I personally love the sunny colors of yellows and oranges. I do think others would prefer vibrant purple with accents of yellow, orange, and turquoise, though.
I love the bright bold colors, so, the colors I would like to see, eggplant. Yes, I am a follower.
I love all color! Right now, I'm finishing up a Civil War repro type of quilt, so I need to go back to BRIGHT AND BOLD! LOL!
Softer, slightly muted beach colors: light teal/turquoise, greens, beiges(sand!), and white. Subtle beach.
I attended a quilt show yesterday, and my favorite quilt, "Pineapple Smoothie," was made with similar hues and colorways as your Ambrosia line. The quilter used a mix of slightly pastel and brighter colors, and her quilt was stunning!
Just signed up to get emails. I like fall colors. Tan, orange, browns, yellows. Thanks for a chance to win.
What a clever title Swiss Chocolate. I like the browns with the blues. I'm a follower by the way.
I'm a follower. I would love to see lilac and blues.
Just bought your town square pattern and can't wait to try Veranda in the red/green palette.
I am a follower and I love jewel tone fabrics, mainly blues to tells.
In a future collection, I'd like to see Aqua/blue, blue/greens; it will remind me of the beautiful beach. Maybe Sand colors & Gold? I do like bright Tropical colors. Your current line is fabulous.
I am a follower. I love you fabrics and you patterns are fantastic. Thank you for this great giveaway.
Yes, I'm a follower and have been trying to win some of your beautiful fabric since Day 1. I'd love some purples!
Love your fabric designs, Amanda, and your colors are right on!
I find I'm mostly drawn to brighter colours, but I do lik the colourway in your swiss chocolate collection.
I'm a follower of the blog! I love bright, bold colors but not too much so.
Love Veranda. Gorgeous color mix Amanda. I am finding myself drawn to the brighter colors and anything purple catches my eye.
In my opinion you're doing great in the different fabric lines you are releasing. I seem to love each one more than the last.
I am already a follower of your blog via RSS feed as well as email subscription. Thank you for a chance to win some of your beautiful fabric. It would be a great 9th wedding anniversary present Wednesday to find out I was a winner.
Love your new line. I like a punch of color but also a way to tone it down so it does not get lost in the shuffle. THANKS!
I'm a follower and I really like bright tropical colors. The more sudued colors make me think of old-fashioned fabric.
Amanda just wanted to let you know that I love your fabrics, the colors are so light. I am looking forward to making one of your quilts don't know which one yet. Thank you for your giveaway.
I like the colors you're using. I prefer them in the more subdued tones of your Swiss Chocolate line. I suppose the word I should use is "value", but the feeling I like is "understated". Still, the brights look especially good in your patterns, so I suppose that's why you're the designer and I'm the admirer. Thanks for the giveaway.
In general I tend to like rich, vibrant colors so the fresh, bright colors in your Veranda line are very appealing to me. I'm already a follower of your blog!
I would really love to see some fabrics with a 70s flair. You know the old gold, rust, weird green, and mustard but with a modern twist of course. Thanks for sharing.
Love Veranda! Love the Garden Paths pattern! My favorite colors are always changing, I think with the seasons, but for now purples, yellows, pinks. Anything with floral!
I would love to see some turquoise or aquas! Thanks for a chance to win!
What a fun fabric line! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I had to tell you the same thing I told Ryan. "I find it amazing how I find new detail each time I look at the paisley prints. At first glance, it's a pretty paisley. Then the flowers become more pronounced, then the leaves, some of the outlining detail. It's beautiful artistry." As for colors I'd like to see in the future, I'm partial to muted earthy tones but I have to mix it up with vibrant colors and prints as well.
I'm 58 years old, and still love those bright psychadelic colors from the 60's and 70's. And LOVE those reds and oranges you have paired. So try some more of those odd pairs that work so well together - like red and purple and orange and purple and pink and purple. Can you tell I like purple??? Thanks for the giveaway. And hey - Blogger is acting up again, so I can't follow. But it's not because I don't want to. So for the time being, I've signed up to get your e-mail updates.
I'm already a follower and love your beautiful fabric lines! My favorite colors are aqua and green and I seem to be sewing alot of green fabrics lately.
I am a follower. Oh I love the colors of the tropics so vibrant.
GEE! VERANDA IS SO PRETTY!
Just became a follower. Found you via "I'm just a Guy who Quilts". I like the purples in Veranda.
I do a lot of quilts for guys as I live in a testosterone rich environment. (Sons, grandsons, nephews)I'd like to see some more fabrics that will work for guys but aren't juvenile. If that makes any sense. Thanks for asking for our input. I like feeling like what I want matters.
I'm a follower..loved your Swiss Chocolate line..now this one is gorgeous also.
Deep Purple and Aqua blues would be nice.
I'm a follower! You always use such delicious colors. I really love the purple in your Veranda line and would love to see more of that!
I follow you on GFC. I like pink with lime green as a combination and would love to see that!
I love your bright coloured prints.. that has always been my taste and style...but also partial to purples and soothing yellow/oranges and I think they would make a perfect combo!
I am a follower of your blog and love tropical colors!
I love your new line and can't wait to work with it. I love bright tropicals, but I live with fall colors - my quilting nerve is definitely separate from my decorating nerve.
first I have to say that I love receiving your updates in my mailbox especially cuz if I'm having a busy time and don't have time to browse I NEVER miss a thing with you. so thanks for that.
I do love the bright tropicals, for years I was a soft pastel, shabby chic kind of girl. Not anymore...but I honestly haven't met a color I don't like. I do love when I can mix and match a designers lines because somehow I always have fabric left from one or more collections.
Thanks for the chance to win something great from you!
I am a follower and love these colors! Lovely!
I'm a Follower -- the colors in Veranda are just yummy. I love the bright colorways. New color? Maybe a slightly purplish blue -- hey! -- like your logo!! I'm really tired of aqua blue everywhere!!!
I love Veranda. So pretty!
I'm a follower. I love bright oranges and yellows, complemented with greens, browns, and reds. Can you tell that I'm an autumn in the color spectrum?! But the granddaughters love purples so that would be good too and I love the turquoise / brown / beige colorways too. Thanks for asking - and for sharing!
Amanda, your fabric patterns are beautiful. I like the bright contrasting reds, oranges and purples in your Veranda series.
I also like earthy combinations with dark blues, reds, yellows, greens and browns. I particularly like small leaf patterns in the mix.
I have followed your blog for quite some time. I just love your fabric lines and it was so fun to get to read your interview and see the inspiration behind veranda. Congrats Amanda!!!
Thanks so for sharing this giveaway+all your great ideas!
Im a follower and have always been most drawn to blues, greens, white, yellows. A clear version of french country. But latley have been loving the modern teals, pinks, yellows and blues togeather. the best thing about color is there are so many options to love!
I'm a follower, and Veranda is just delightful! I'm drawn to blues/teals/greens, but I really love working with bright and different shades too. Thanks for the giveaway!

Sugar daddy sugar baby dating site,site serious relationship questions,terravision promo code liverpool - For Begninners
Published 25.09.2013 | Author : admin | Category : Women Need Men
According to The Huffington Post, there are over three million users on Seeking Arrangement, with nearly eight women for every man, and to tackle their debt, some sugar babies (typically younger, debt-ridden students or recent graduates), have taken on more than one sugar daddy, while asking for $1,000-$3,000 per month from each. In many instances, sex is involved, and as that is the case, some feel Seeking Arrangement is essentially a prostitution or escort service. A student at New York University, the college with the highest number of sugar babies, shared what it's like to live as one with NYU Local, a campus news blog, and some of what she said felt like it could've been pulled out of a 50 Shades of Grey-inspired novel. When asked why she didn't just waitress, the NYU sugar baby told NYU Local that she could easily make $2,000 to $5,000 by meeting with a sugar daddy four times a month. As for the guys she met, they varied and came from all walks of life. A 33-year-old IT manager she met on the site left quite a different impression as he started licking the inner contours of her ear during the second date. Sex was always the elephant in the room, Hill noted, and she felt it was hard to find anyone not interested in it, except for the Ralph Waldo Emerson fan mentioned above.
Hill understood why some people consider the site as prostitution and was conflicted about being a sugar baby altogether.
Much like many of the other sugar babies who have shared their stories, she was also a broke college student trying to make ends meet and decided to join the site after feeling concerned about debt. Through emails the two decided on an "allowance" of $450 and the daddy-stepdaughter fantasy he wanted played out; however, the sex seemed cold and calculated. Much like Hill, this sugar baby felt quite conflicted about her "job." "I'm constantly torn about how I feel about what I do," she said.
Seeking Arrangement seems oblivious to the psychological and emotional harm they could cause by providing a platform for sugar baby relationships, and the company sees little, if anything, wrong with the practice.
NEW YORK -- Three years ago, during his junior year at New York University, Kirk met with a financial aid officer to plead a familiar case: his inability to manage the yearly payments on his $50,000 tuition bill. Once again, the school official reminded Kirk that in order to register for next semester's courses, he needed to come up with another $8,000 -- or risk expulsion.
Kirk nearly divulged his secret to the loan officer, finally letting her know exactly what he had resorted to in a desperate attempt to finance his education. But the willingness to date for money is not limited to beleaguered young women struggling to pay off debt.
The rise in the number of straight and gay college students moonlighting as "sugar babies" occurs at a time when the life plans of many 20-somethings have taken a brutal detour.
In addition to a lackluster job market, a historic number of recent graduates are also struggling to pay off an overwhelming amount of student loan debt. While many 20-somethings embarked on their dream of a college education when a decent-paying job was virtually guaranteed as part of the package, the rules have now changed -- and a new generation is coming of age during an era of limited options. Kirk tries to abide by a few basic ground rules when getting sex for money: he refuses to perform oral sex, always wears protection, and will only have sex as a top, never a bottom. For the time being, Kirk says he sees working as a part-time prostitute as a practical solution to climbing out from beneath a mountain of student debt. But with tuition money due each month, and an endless stream of voice mails from student loan creditors, sex work is starting to feel like something Kirk can't afford not to do. Seeking Arrangement regularly sponsors parties for sugar babies and sugar daddies to come out from behind their laptops and reveal themselves in open-air mixers.
At first glance, the crowd resembles one that could be found in any standard Midtown nightclub.
But the average age of most of the men is 50 -- or older -- and they are gray-haired and balding. Stephan Smith, who helps run Seeking Arrangement, says a majority of the "higher caliber" people in terms of both looks and wealth haven't come out tonight. Career counselors and those offering discounted plastic surgery lurk at the edge of the nightclub. While the party skews toward straight men and women, a few young gay men are also on the prowl. While there are more than 80,000 gay sugar babies on Sugar Daddy For Me, there are only about 11,000 gay sugar daddies on the site.
Another of the party's attendees, Samuel Schall, studied the gay sugar baby culture as an undergraduate at George Washington University.
Schall mentions the tendency of older, straight men to pursue relationships with younger, gay men. Wade concedes that men who are married and identify as straight are drawn to his site partly because of the level of anonymity it provides. Noel Biderman, the 39-year-old founder and CEO of Avid Life Media, a social entertainment company, runs a handful of arrangement-seeking websites. Based on a written survey of 100 sugar babies in New York, Schall concluded that in both good times and bad, sugar babies seek out the companionship of sugar daddies -- gay or straight -- because they want to be able to afford a certain lifestyle. Jake says he didn't really need the money his sugar daddy paid him, but his tastes quickly adjusted to accommodate his new lifestyle.
Over the course of two years, they met up once or twice each month to spend long, luxurious weekends at fancy hotels in major cities. Eventually, though, the relationship started to feel like nothing more than a transaction, with Jake seeing only dollar signs whenever the two spent time together. Jake says explaining his extravagant purchases to his parents, who often wonder where the money comes from, has created an unforeseen challenge.
While his parents paid for college, Jake has considered selling sex again in order to pay for graduate school.
Unlike in the straight world, many say they find working as an escort on the gay scene to be an accepted, even applauded practice. Christian Grov, an assistant professor of public health at Brooklyn College and co-author of "In the Company of Men: Inside the Lives of Male Prostitutes," attributes the rise of young gay men engaged in sex work as part of a growing sense of social acceptance.
In his research, which included an Internet-based sample of gay sex workers in New York City, Grov found that a significant number of gay male escorts were looking to put themselves through school. While Jake reports having earned vast sums of money from his sugar daddy, Grov says the going rate for men tends to be far less than for women. Grov says he sees debt-strapped young men as particularly vulnerable and likely to consider sex work, especially when they can't find jobs out of school that pay a living wage. This past summer, Alex, an 18-year-old freshman at the University of California, Riverside, started looking for a sugar daddy to help pay for school. Alex, who is not openly gay, has kept his behavior secret from both friends and family, fearing their reaction.
Bimbi says young men look for sugar daddies as a way to avoid the stigma that would come with becoming full-time sex workers. I'm here to tell you after having a Sugar Daddy provide me with over $100,000.00, coaching Sugar Babies 1-on-1, helping thousands of Sugar Babies get the results they want that there is always a SMART way and a HARD way to achieve Sugar Baby success.

This is the place where you find your cure to asking for what you want and actually getting it. If something's not working for you, maybe it's because you haven't figured out how to do it right.

Here is a question I bet you want to know the answer to: "How can you Find a Sugar Daddy And Ask for What you Want and Get it?"

In that way, she's an inspiration to me She's got a quirky sense of humor, but she's fun to be around," Sides says.
The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline. The sugar baby went by the fictitious name of Natalie Hill for the piece, and her story started like the stories of many, many, many, many, many, many other sugar babies.
And I don't mean that in a metaphorical way in that I model, strip or work for one of those phone sex lines.
The site likens sugar babies to concubines, courtesans and geishas of the past, and they also think the relationships they're peddling, which they refer to as "arrangements" or "mutually beneficial relationships," are normal. He has continued selling his wares on what he describes as "virtual street corners" -- websites where young gay men seek out the companionship of wealthy older suitors. Kirk's lithe, bare physique figures prominently in most of his profile photos, while others showcase his dark, chiseled features. Late last month, The Huffington Post chronicled the uptick of debt-strapped young women similarly searching online for suitors or wealthy benefactors who, in exchange for companionship, sex, or both, might help with the bills. An increasing number of gay male students have also taken to the web in the past several years searching for wealthy benefactors. Further, between the first quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2011, student loan debt increased by a whopping 511 percent, with borrowers under the age of 30 bearing the biggest financial brunt.
Of Sugar Daddy For Me's 3 million members, Sharma says that about 2 million are sugar babies. In 2007, the site said it had 5,239 gay male sugar babies who were also enrolled in college. Whenever possible, he tries to avoid having sex with supposedly straight, married men looking for a "discreet" hook-up. I want to feel equal and empowered, but I'm also really explicit that I'm just there for the money," says Kirk, who estimates that he's received money for having sex with more than 100 men in the last few years. One sugar daddy paid for two years' worth of rent on an apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, while another cosigned an additional loan for school. Kirk also works as a server at a Manhattan restaurant four nights a week and auditions for theater and film work during the day. Seeking Arrangement, which Wade says has about 100,000 members in the New York City area alone, received about 400 RSVPs for its latest fete, a mid-August party called "Midsummer Night Affair." The party's promoter, Alan "Action" Schneider, says that more than 500 have shown up -- with men paying an entrance fee of $80 and women forking over $40. Sharma, Wade's competitor and the founder of Sugar Daddy For Me and Gay Sugar Daddy Finder, is standing nearby. Schall hopes to help organize a separate event specifically targeting gay men later this fall.
The biggest high generally came after he spent time with his sugar daddy, when he'd walk home with bags full of newly-purchased designer clothes and expensive shoes.
Sex was often involved, but it was not uncommon for the two to meet up for quiet, midweek dinners on Capitol Hill.
Growing less enamored of his sugar daddy (the two no longer speak) and with graduation looming, Jake started budgeting his money. Recently, when an expensive pair of sunglasses yielded particular suspicion, Jake brushed off their accusations, saying that a close friend had loaned them to him. While none of the nearly dozen men interviewed had told their parents about their sugar daddies, nearly all had discussed them with their friends.
Gay men engaged in sex work often face far less of a stigma than do straight women, he says. Most saw it as a temporary means to an end, rather than work they considered pursuing for the long haul.
Bimbi, an assistant professor of health sciences at LaGuardia Community College, conducted a study of 50 gay men between the ages of 18 and 50 who participated in Internet-based sex work. He has already amassed $16,000 in student debt, and still has one more year of school, and $7,000 in tuition, to go.
Jones and I am the founder of The Sugar Daddy Formula and host of the SugaInsider Sweet Talk Podcast. Or wanting to enhance your life through your relationships to ease you on your journey in life. When things got particularly bad, Hill decided to join, and soon enough she was receiving messages. While young gay men exchanging sex for money certainly predated the financial collapse, recent events have pushed some students to consider engaging in risky behavior that in more robust economic times might have been unthinkable, according to several owners of websites that broker such hook-ups. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that half of recent graduates are underutilized -- whether they are jobless, working part time, or working in a job that doesn't require a college degree and therefore tends to pay less.
Census Bureau recently reported that over the past 20 years, the average annual cost of college has more than doubled. Men seeking a gay sugar daddy account for about 80,000 of the site's members and of these, about a quarter list some combination of "school," "college," "university," "money for school," "student debt," "college debt," "tuition," and "college expenses" in their profile. On free nights, he regularly trawls the web, looking for a generous sugar daddy willing to take on the burden of helping him pay off his hefty loans. Crystal chandeliers dangling above the dance floor emit a dark, ruby light and the bar is packed, often four people deep. The women, mostly black and Latina, appear to be in their mid-to-late twenties, and none look much older than 35.
On Seeking Arrangement, individuals don't explicitly identify as gay, but merely say what they're looking for -- be it a sugar daddy or a far smaller universe of sugar mamas. Some of the gay sugar babies seek out the companionship of older, supposedly straight men because there don't seem to be enough gay sugar daddies to go around. His pulse further quickened when he'd stop at an ATM to deposit a huge wad of cash, stunned as his previously overdrawn bank account suddenly showed thousands of dollars at his immediate disposal. He now uses what's left of the money to pay for basic living expenses like rent and utilities, while he continues to search for a job.
And unlike the young women engaged in similar behavior who reported feeling great shame and remorse, the men generally seemed less traumatized by their decision. Generally speaking, Grov finds the gay culture more accepting of one-night stands and casual relationships.
Many of the young men purposely kept apartments in Midtown Manhattan in order to meet up with businessmen before, during and after work, which freed them to go to school during the evenings.
With all the hopes of him being a legitimate Sugar Daddy I realized he was just looking for a one nightstand.
And you enjoy luxurious, elegant dining excursions that will appease to your sophisticated palate.
People on the site ranged from 30 to 55 with net incomes from $250,000 to $5 million a year. It's also natural for younger men and women to seek out more experienced, sophisticated, wealthy and generous partners," the site says. Nineteen million currently enrolled college students now face an average cost of $15,876 for one year of in-state tuition at a public university or $40,633 for one year at a private institution. Biderman says that 4.2 percent of this site's young male users, or 618 men, identify themselves as students. In fact, they often felt emboldened by the money they were able to earn, rather than shamed by the stigma. In the case of being a sugar baby, I never quite have come to terms with it," she told the paper. He immediately deposited the money into a separate savings account he created for school expenses.

AUGUSTA – Rep. Jess Fay, D-Raymond, will be the lead co-sponsor of a bill filed by Sen. Bill Diamond, D-Windham, to facilitate the delivery of propane to keep Mainers warm in declared heating emergencies.
The bill responds to current widespread delays in fuel delivery by allowing propane delivery drivers to fill tanks owned by different companies. The law now states that tanks may be filled only by the company that owns them. This bill waives that requirement, provided both companies involved have an agreement and that an emergency has been declared, as has been the case recently due to abnormally cold temperatures throughout the state.
As the statutory cutoff date for introducing bills has passed, this bill must be approved by a majority of the Legislative Council, the ten members of leadership in the Legislature. Bipartisan support is required for any bill to be accepted.
