Ormeshadow by Priya Sharma
By storgy in book reviews on October 14, 2019 August 29, 2019
Well, here at STORGY we've been following the career of Priya Sharma with great attention and her collection All The Fabulous Beasts was a highlight of our recent reading – which let us just add went on to win the Shirley Jackson Award for singled-authored collection in 2018. So, when we heard that she'd upped the ante and gone and written a novella, we had to get ourselves a copy to review for you fine folks here.
Ormeshadow is quite different from All The Fabulous Beasts, and I mention this because it is different in the best of ways, Sharma appears to flourish with the shackles off and writing free from what is required from a genre book per se. Unshackling her creative juices seems to have had a freeing quality, enabling Sharma to concoct a broiling coming of age tale which loosely but integrally incorporates the myths and legends of dragons – but with a masters touch she subtly lays the lore into the foundations of Ormeshadow which create a beast of a book.
So, if you're a fan of all things dark and mysterious please take note, this is a writer who is doing something a little different, incorporating a dark undertow to the story which is as deadly as anything that lurks in the dark; and boy does she hit the nail on the head, so much so, that she actually drives that nail and the hammer through the wood until she leaves a splintered wreckage on the floor.
Ormeshadow follows the life of Gideon Belman, a boy who finds himself uprooted from his life in Bath and relocated to Ormeshadow Farm with his mother and father – to join his uncle and auntie and their dysfunctional and overbearing family unit. Gideon doesn't know what's happened or why they've had to flee, and his learned father keeps hidden the secrets of their escape by regaling his son of the legend of the Orme – of a buried dragon that lays beneath the Orme, encased rock and moss, sleeping or waiting for its time to rise. The dragon waits and dreams of resentment, of revenge and of death. Gideon finds himself in a strange place, a place he doesn't quite fit, growing up in a house that hates him. So, Gideon finds his comforts and a way to survive, in the Orme and the folklore that enraptures his very heart.
'There were butterflies skewered in cases, beautiful things the size of a man's hand, their iridescent wings marked with blind eyes for protection. Gideon had wanted to know why they were so dangerous that, even in death, they had to be contained. His father had laughed.'
Sharma's prose in Ormeshadow is deep and rich, and at times, all consuming. It's as if Sharma has created a storm on the page, contained it with words, sentences and paragraphs – you want to pull yourself away but it's intoxicatingly, you are at her mercy and she doesn't relent. Her prose is so strong and enrapturing that it's like being tossed by an angry sea; it will consume you, bury you in a world that there is no escape from – detailing expertly of a time, place and lives that are so delicately examined and nurtured that it is beguiling. Sharma's writing in Ormeshadow is so precious that you can't look away for fear of missing the majesty of her work.
'The fishermen were accustomed to death, it being one of their many bounties from the sea. Death was even in their swollen jumpers, each knitted to their own designs so their widows could identify their remains after a pounding by the waves.'
What makes this book so brilliant is Sharma's characterisations, every person in this story serves a purpose, there is no room for driftwood. Each character, no matter how small their part, adds to the broiling drama that unfolds on the page, pulling the reader in, forcing us to discover, and dredge up the secrets of the Belman family. Secrets that Sharma delicately weaves throughout Ormeshadow – as if she were a seamstress working on a precious garment, each thread meticulously planned and executed, to give the story beats when it needs them and to stay silent when their is need for reflection, making it the most enchanting of reads. But as we all know… some secrets should remain secrets.
'He seemed at great pains to be still, but his eyes were churning pools. Gideon expected him to spring up at any second.'
Sharma has created what I can only imagine will be one of the books of the year, it's a tale that delves into folklore but is grounded in drama, of family circumstance, of loss and love and hope. It is in essence a coming of age tale, masterfully told with a beguiling style and execution that is is priceless. It will bring Sharma to a whole new audience, whilst still enrapturing her existing followers – but Ormeshadow in my opinion showcases a writer at their very best, and I firmly believe that it is Sharma's magnum opus.
An enchanting magic lives in the pages of Ormeshadow and I urge you to discover this treasure of a book for yourselves – a resonant novella that is unforgettably brilliant and deeply moving.
Ormeshadow is published by Tor and is available here.

Cover Reveal Blitz: The Dark Seduction of Miss Jane by Amanda McIntyre

The Dark Seduction of Miss Jane
By Amanda McIntyre
A scandalous betrayal sets Miss Jane Goodwin on an unexpected journey to London to pursue her dream of being the first female investigative journalist, but she soon finds herself in a hotbed of murder and controversy. Seduced by the passions of a mysterious lover and stalked by a madman, tensions mount as Jane falls prey to her desires, only to discover a deadly secret that threatens more than just her trust in men.
Inspector Randolph Mansfield is one of Scotland Yard's elite, battling the dark secrets of his past while trying to solve a rash of grisly murders threatening to mar Queen Victoria's Jubilee. His respite is the anonymity he finds in the decadence of a private gentleman's club, until a determined American journalist goes undercover in search of her stalker and he finds the lines between protection and passion blurred. But as tensions heat and her life is threatened, he must choose whether to reveal his true identity at the risk of losing her trust and his career.
"Of course, the Her Majesty is having her Golden Jubilee in June. They say it's to be one of the grandest celebrations that London has seen in some time. There are preparations being made for a parade, a gala ball, and fireworks, as I understand it."
"Not if the socialists have anything to say about it," Wesley muttered.
The conversation came to an abrupt standstill. From the look that Isabella darted to her nephew, Jane sensed that she did not appreciate his interjection.
"What?" He looked back at his aunt. "Shouldn't she have a realistic view of what is happening in lovely London town?"
Isabella pointed her finger, prepared to respond when the carriage came to an abrupt stop, taking with it any semblance of a breeze.
"Probably traffic. I'm sure it's just a slight delay. We should be moving soon," Isabella said, working the fan diligently in front of her face.
Jane poked her head out of the window, hopeful for a gulp of air, but curious just the same as to the delay.
"Why don't I tell you about our writing club while we wait?" Isabella suggested.
Jane drew in her head, less interested in hearing about the club than what was preventing their progress in getting there. She dropped her book and gloves on the seat beside her and gathered her skirts to exit the carriage. "If you don't mind, I think I'll just step outside and see what the reason for our delay is." The truth of it was that the stifling heat inside the cab was making her nauseated.
"Watch out, miss," a gruff voice boomed out of nowhere as she opened the door. Caught off guard, she missed the step entirely and escaped total embarrassment of landing on her face thanks to a set of strong arms that captured her waist. "You should learn to look, young woman, before you step from a coach."
Jane steadied her legs, preparing to face her rescuer.
"Excuse me, miss. I'm in a bit of a hurry."
"But I…" She barely caught a glimpse of him as he turned and headed at a quick gait up the street. From her view, she noted his hair, badly in need of attention, was thick, coal black and hung in deep waves over his collar. His dark brown coat flapped around his long legs in his determined haste.
"Ah, I see you've met our illustrious Inspector Mansfield." Wesley hopped from the carriage. Together they watched him disappear around the corner of a building a few yards ahead. Other curiosity seekers were trotting toward the same direction.
"Come on." Intrigued, she grabbed Wesley's hand.
"Where to, Miss Jane?" He gave her a puzzled look, but kept up with her stride.
"To wherever he is going. He is the inspector, correct?"
Jane lifted the hem of her skirt, empowered by the familiar rush of a reporter's adrenaline infusing her stamina. She looked over her shoulder and spoke to Wesley, who lagged a few steps behind. "Then we certainly don't want to miss whatever he is so hell-bent to get to." This is what she lived for, the drama of everyday life. Perhaps it was the thrill of the unknown—the chase, as it were. A trait derived no doubt by her adventuresome parents. They never settled for long between their journeys, always, it seemed, in a constant state of preparation for their next mission. They loved Jane, of course, but as she grew older, she began to wonder if her conception had simply been another grand venture. When they were around, they were larger than life to her—filled with glorious stories and tales of their journeys. And when they were gone and her life was divided between boarding school and Aunt Cornelia's house, their letters were all that Jane had to cling to in her adolescence. They had promised that when she was of a proper age, they would take her with them. But that promise—unfilled—followed them to their graves. Now it was up to Jane to find her own adventures.
"Miss Jane, it could be dangerous," Wesley called as they waded into the crowd beginning to clog the street. He caught up to her, keeping pace with her tenacity in pushing through the throng.
"Very possibly, but what great story isn't just a bit dangerous, I ask you?" She smiled at him with a quick glance as they neared the top of the hill to follow where the inspector had disappeared.
A rigid wall of uniformed constables formed a barricade at the end of the street, keeping gawkers from disrupting whatever scene lay ahead. The crowd pressed close to the human barrier, trying to catch a glimpse at what was going on.
"They've blocked the street." Wesley craned his neck over the huddled mass in front of them.
"Do you see any possible way of getting closer?" she asked, searching for a way through the tightly packed humanity.
"Another body part."
Jane whirled to see where the whispered comment had come from, but too many people had crowded around her.
"The second in a few weeks' time. I hear the inspector has his hands bloody full. He's got no way of knowing how to identify the bits."
Jane was astounded by the whispered rumors. How was it that such news had not yet made it across the Atlantic? Quiet murmurs followed with a gasp or two, but no one spoke aloud. Jane struggled, backtracking until she found Wesley. She grabbed his arm and leaned close. "Did you hear? They say it's a body part?" Horror-stricken, she stared at him. "What is going on in London that you've not told me about?"
Wesley's expression clouded and he looked around, leaning close so he wouldn't be overheard. "Be cautious of what you say, Jane. And don't jump to conclusions based on hearsay."
Her gaze narrowed, and so too, her patience. "A good reporter will verify the rumors, you can be assured, sir." Still, she couldn't say why it perplexed her that the Hamptons had not even mentioned such macabre goings-on in their correspondence. "Still, I heard it plain as day. Someone said it was a body part."
He tucked his thumbs in his pockets, his lip curling in a brief smile. "People love to gossip, Jane. The longer you're here, the more you will see that London is a great melting pot of many types of people. They arrive daily, bringing their beliefs, their way of life, with them. Frankly, not all of them agree with how the queen dictates the government."
"I don't understand," she whispered sternly. "Are you saying that these murders are motivated by"—she waved one hand—"politics?"
"Sshh." He frowned at her. "The streets have ears."
Jane sighed and noticed over his shoulder an opening near the barricade of solemn-faced Bobbies. She surged forward, determined to see for herself what the city agencies were trying to hide. She heard Wesley calling her name, but fought through the mob, making her way to the front.
"Miss Goodwin!"
Wesley's voice carried over the heads of the crowd. She pressed forward, confident he would catch up. She faced the determined uniformed officers and pushed up on her toes to catch a glimpse beyond the broad shoulders of London's finest. A few yards away, she spotted the dark-haired inspector. He was kneeling beside an object that he'd hastily covered with his own coat. Her thoughts raced with how she could get close enough to speak to him, but even as she considered her options, an ambulance with the words St. John's Hospital painted on the side arrived. The drivers, holding white sheets up to shroud the object from public view, placed it in the wagon, and carted it away. Within moments of its departure, the congested group of gawkers began to dissipate as quickly as they'd assembled. Looking weary and slightly frustrated from his battle with the crowd, Wesley arrived at Jane's side.
"Were you able to see anything?" Wesley eyed the inspector and the men circled around him as he spoke. He appeared to be giving out instructions.
"No, they've shielded something from the crowd." Jane looked at Wesley, knowing that whatever it was, seemed very small. Wrapped in the hospital drape, it had taken only one man to carry it back to the ambulance. "Has this happened before?
Do they have any leads?"
Wesley hesitated, and then gently took her arm. "We'll discuss this in private, Jane. Not here on the street."
She walked beside him, his arm looped through hers. She slowed as they passed by the inspector and the small group of men he spoke to, hoping to overhear some of what was being said. She was so focused on listening that she didn't realize until too late the dark eyes of the inspector studying her. Transfixed, she regarded him and his brooding expression. His firm jaw looked as though untouched by his morning razor, clenched as his provocative mouth turned down in a grim frown. His eyes, unwavering, held hers, following her like a panther watching his prey. Despite the warm temperature, a shiver skated across her shoulders. Jane forced herself to look away.

Leonie's skills can coax curves --and profits-- from thin air, but his criminally handsome lordship is too busy trying to seduce her to appreciate her genius. He badly needs to learn a lesson, and the wager she provokes ought to teach him, once and for all.
A great plan, in theory-but Lisburne's become a serious distraction and Leonie's usual logic is in danger of slipping away as easily as a silk chemise. Could the Season's' greatest transformation be her own?

Instead she is whisked away to paradise, bathed, fed, and made love to by Orestes as if she is his reason to live.

The search won't be easy with Roke shadowing Sally's every move. As they mate with a ferocity that leaves them both aching for more, Sally isn't sure if her world is more dangerous without Roke—or with him.
Kiss of Wrath by Sandra Hill
Deadly Angels, #4
No wicked wenches or wild rampages…it's been centuries since Mordr the Berserker was turned into a Vangel-a Viking Vampire Angel-as punishment for his sin of wrath, and he's been frustrated ever since. It's not so bad being stuck in modern-day Las Vegas. What better place to slay Lucipires, or demon vampires, than the original Sin City. But then Mordr Sigurdsson's mission is expanded to a new assignment: protect lust-worthy Miranda Hart.
Miranda's well-ordered life turned into chaos when she unexpectedly inherited her late cousin's five children. Now, her cousin's dangerous husband is about to be paroled, and she needs a miracle to keep them all safe.That miracle arrives on her doorstep in the form of a very buff, handsome man with a very strange name. Mordr wants nothing to do with a red-haired wench or children. Miranda wants nothing to do with gorgeous hunk who claims to be a Viking.
As Miranda and Mordr give in to temptation, they must decide if they fit in each other's worlds-before their enemies close in on them.
Moon Shine by Vivian Arend
Takhini Wolves, #4
When the past hurts, it bites.
Meet Evan Stone. Laid-back, in-control Alpha of the Takhini Wolves. Life's not perfect, but he's got a good handle on his world. At least, he did—until the night he ends up in jail, soaking wet and wondering what the hell just happened.
The "what" is Amy Ryba, a vengeful female who's decided it's long past time to make Evan pay for his sins. Amy has spent years tracking him down, and the last nine months working in secret to destroy him. She's ready for anything—except discovering the shifter she hates is her mate.
Suddenly, Evan's not so very in control, of himself or his pack. And unless Amy can learn to forgive and forget, she'll have to do the unthinkable: reject her mate.
With two packs watching, one thing is certain. Their personal issues won't stay personal for long. If Amy and Evan can't find a way to work together, there won't be a happily-ever-after for them…or any of the wolves of Whitehorse.
Warning: Contains angsty wolves. Lots of angsty wolves causing explosions of all sorts, playing bad pranks, hacking computers, and having angry sex against a wall or two. Not all at the same time, though, because that would be silly.
The Dresden Files, #15
Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day….
He doesn't know the half of it….
Mab has just traded Harry's skills to pay off one of her debts. And now he must help a group of supernatural villains—led by one of Harry's most dreaded and despised enemies, Nicodemus Archleone—to break into the highest-security vault in town so that they can then access the highest-security vault in the Nevernever.
It's a smash-and-grab job to recover the literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure hoard in the supernatural world—which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the freaking Underworld and generally unpleasant character. Worse, Dresden suspects that there is another game afoot that no one is talking about. And he's dead certain that Nicodemus has no intention of allowing any of his crew to survive the experience. Especially Harry.
Dresden's always been tricky, but he's going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess—assuming his own allies don't end up killing him before his enemies get the chance.

The Immortal Crown by Richelle Mead
Age of X, #2 (Releases May 29, 2014)
Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect—special humans marked by the divine—are turning against one another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin's old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA's dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae—grudgingly posing as Justin's concubine—has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter's connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission—and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.
The Cursed by Heather Graham
Krewe of Hunters, #12
A haunted house in Key West...
Hannah O'Brien, who grew up in the house and now runs it as a B and B, has always had a special ability to see a pair of resident ghosts. But when a man is murdered in the alley behind her place, she's dismayed when his spirit appears, too, asking for help.
FBI agent Dallas Samson has a passionate interest in the murder, since the victim's a colleague whose death is connected to the smuggling ring known as Los Lobos—the wolves. Now Dallas is even more committed to chasing them down….
Unaware that Dallas has certain abilities of his own, Hannah calls her cousin Kelsey O'Brien, a member of the FBI's Krewe of Hunters, an elite unit of paranormal investigators. The present-day case is linked to a historical mystery involving salvagers, a curse and a sunken ship. Danger and desire bring Hannah and Dallas together, but to survive, they have to solve the mysteries of the past—and stay alive long enough to solve the crimes of the present!
The Dark World by Cara Lynn Shultz
Dark World, #1
Paige Kelly is used to weird--in fact, she probably corners the market on weird, considering that her best friend, Dottie, has been dead since the 1950s. But when a fire demon attacks Paige in detention, she has to admit that things have gotten out of her league. Luckily, the cute new boy in school, Logan Bradley, is a practiced demon slayer-and he isn't fazed by Paige's propensity to chat with the dead. Suddenly, Paige is smack in the middle of a centuries-old battle between warlocks and demons, learning to fight with a magic sword so that she can defend herself. And if she makes one wrong move, she'll be pulled into the Dark World, an alternate version of our world that's overrun by demons-and she might never make it home.
The Girl with the Windup Heart by Kady Cross
Steampunk Chronicles, #4
In 1897 London, a final showdown is about to begin.
London's underworld is no place for a young woman, even one who is strong, smart and part-automaton like Mila. But when master criminal Jack Dandy inadvertently breaks her heart, she takes off, determined to find an independent life, one entirely her own. Her search takes her to the spangled shadows of the West End's most dazzling circus.
Meanwhile, taken captive in the Aether, Griffin King is trapped in an inescapable prison, and at the mercy of his archenemy, The Machinist. If he breaks under the hellish torment, The Machinist will claim his powers and control of the Aether itself, and no one in either world will be safe-especially not Finley Jayne and her misfit band of friends.
Finley plunges headlong into the Aether the only way she knows how, by temporarily dying. But she cannot parry The Machinist's maneuvers for long. To defeat him for good, Griffin will have to confront his greatest fear and finally come face-to-face with the destructive power he wields.

Grif has had to give up his burgeoning love for reporter Katherine "Kit" Craig, the woman who made life worth living again, and dedicate himself to finding one he no longer knows.
Yet when Grif is attacked again, it becomes clear that there are forces in both the mortal and heavenly realm who'd rather see him dead than unearth the well-buried secrets of his past. If he's to survive his second go-round on the Surface, Grif will have to convince Kit to reunite with him professionally, and help uncover decades of police corruption, risking both their lives... and testing the limits to what one angel is really willing to give for love.

Against the Dawn by Amanda Bonilla
Shaede Assassin, #4
Six months can feel like just a couple of weeks when you've been away in another realm. Literally.
Now that Darian is back in Seattle, she's ready to face the life—and the man—she left behind. But it's not going to be easy when a ghost from her past shows up looking to wreak havoc on Seattle's supernatural crime scene.
Darian isn't as careless as she used to be, though. She and Tyler, her sexy Jinn protector, have come a long way in the trust department. And it's a good thing too—because when Ty contracts her to assassinate a wickedly powerful supernatural who goes by the name of Mithras, it will take all her faith in Ty, and herself, to get the job done.
While Darian does whatever it takes to get to her mark, Xander, the Shaede King is busy making plans of his own. With Darian's attention divided between Lorik's secrets and her mission she might not be able to stop Xander from doing anything in his power to separate Darian from her sworn protector and in the process, destroy his own kingdom.

For Della Tsang, Shadow Falls isn't just a camp: it's home. As a vampire who's never fit in with her human family, it's the one place she can truly be herself. But when a mysterious new guy arrives at camp, Della's whole world is thrown into turmoil. Chase is a vampire with secrets, who knows more than he's telling. But the more time she spends with him, the more she begins to trust this attractive stranger—and feel drawn to him. But romance is the last thing she wants—as she keeps telling Steve, the hunky shapeshifter who won't stop trying to win her heart. And if Della isn't careful, he just might succeed. When a new case puts everyone she cares about in danger, Della's determined to do everything she can to save them . . . even if it means teaming up with Steve and Chase, who leave her more confused than ever. With their lives on the line, will Della and her friends survive—with their hearts intact?
Sixth Grave on the Edge by Darynda Jones
Charley Davidson, #6
Few things in life can come between a grim reaper and her coffee, but the sexy, sultry son of Satan is one of them. Now that Reyes Farrow has asked for her hand, Charley Davidson feels it's time to learn more about his past, but Reyes is reluctant to open up. When the official FBI file of his childhood abduction lands in her lap, Charley decides to go behind her mysterious beau's back and conduct her own investigation. Because what could go wrong?
Unfortunately, another case has fallen into her lap—one with dangerous implications. Some very insistent men want Charley to hunt down a witness who is scheduled to testify against their boss, a major player in the local crime syndicate. If Charley doesn't come up with an address in 48 hours, the people closest to her will start to disappear.
Add to that a desperate man in search of the soul he lost in a card game, a dogged mother determined to f
ind the ghost of her son, and a beautiful, young Deaf boy haunted by his new ability to see the departed as clearly as he sees the living, and Charley has her hands full. The fact that Reyes has caught on to her latest venture only adds fuel to the inferno that he is. Good thing for Charley she's used to multi-tasking and always up for a challenge…especially when that challenge comes in the form of Reyes Farrow.

 Netherlands, Amsterdam Guide (B): What Makes Dining in Amsterdam So Addictive?
Netherlands, Amsterdam Guide (B): What Makes Dining in Amsterdam So Addictive?
Dining out anywhere, be it dining in Amsterdam or any other city, doesn't necessarily have to be a white linen tablecloth and fine china sort of affair. It can be food on the go that you grab and take with you or it can be light fare in a casual restaurant. While there are plenty of articles online about all kinds of dining in Amsterdam, this isn't one of them. Whether you've overindulged yourself at a coffeeshop, pub, or bar, you might need some quick, yet tasty and satisfying food. Just like your other vices, I'm here to tell you that you can add casual dining in Amsterdam to your new list of addictions.
Chips: First let's talk about chips. Americans know this convenient comfort food as French fries, but here in Amsterdam they're chips and they're damn good. I'm going to try to control myself, but I honestly believe that chips are the world's best street food. These aren't your run of the mill fast food French fries that are soggy, limp, and greasy. No, these are crispy chunks of potato that are fresh and hot from the fryer with no trace of grease on them that pair perfectly with one of the many available sauces offered. Two of my favorites chip shops in Amsterdam are Manneken Pis and Chipsy King. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).

I was sorting through my makeup collection recently and realised I own way too many eyeshadow palettes so I don't think i'll be buying more anytime soon. You can probably sense from this collection of palettes that I tend to go for neutral palettes and I wear these type of shades everyday. This post features all of the new palettes I have been using a lot recently.
I have been using this palette so much recently as I love the pretty warm shimmery shades and the darker burgundy tones are a little different to my usual brown tones. These are the signature Tarte Amazonian clay formula that gives intense colour pay off, blendability and they apply so smoothly. My favourite shades from this are Rocker, a shimmering taupe, Firecracker, a bronze copper, Sweetheart, a matte peach, Rebel, a chestnut brown and Leader, a dark brick red shade.
You can probably tell that I love these mini eyeshadow palettes from Huda Beauty and the formula of the eyeshadows is amazing. As the name suggests this palette contains every shade you need for a smokey eye and you can either go full on dramatic or more subtle. There is the apricot base shade and some shimmering bronze and copper shades, a shimmering silver and matte browns and a black for that shading.
This is slightly different to the others as the shades are more of a mauve theme. I love the CP eyeshadow palettes as I find the formula of the eyeshadows to be amazing and the palettes are so affordable. The eyeshadows are pigmented but not too much and they don't have too much fall out and they blend so well. This palette also comes with a mirror so it's handy for travelling and using on the go. This palette contains both shimmers and mattes, my favourite shades are Candygram, a metallic pink with a gold reflect, FBO, a metallic violet, Look-See, a matte plum, DTR, a metallic taupe, and Pulling Strings, a warm saddle brown.
I'm so glad this brand is now available in the UK as their eyeshadows are amazing and this palette is the ultimate warm toned neutral palette. The palette contains 12 shades in either a matte or shimmer finish and they are so pigmented and last all day. The shimmers are buttery and smooth to apply and the mattes blend out beautifully. The palette has lots of transitional shades and you can create a simple day look or more intense with the darker matte shades.
Admittedly this is very similar to the Juvia's Place palette but there are more red and pink toned shades in it. You get 12 shades starting at softer beiges and pale gold shimmers, to matte mauves and taupes and then to dark browns and a midnight blue shimmer shade. The formula of these is silky and easy to apply with a good amount of pigment.
Those are all such pretty shades!
The Juvia's place eyeshadow palette looks amazing! I've been seeing these everywhere at the moment!
The Tartelette In Bloom palette is one of my favourites - it's fab! I don't know anyone who's tried it and hasn't loved it!
I totally want to try a ColourPop palette as I've heard the shades and formulas are amazing! Definitely going to invest in one!


"It's a very big boost while we're waiting for everyone else who are supposed to pay to actually pay," said Christine Carunchio, whose Union Beach house took on 3 feet of water during Sandy.
Since early last month, Cantor Fitzgerald's charity arm, the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, and the financial brokerage firm BGC Partners have been handing out the debit cards at elementary schools in communities pummeled by Sandy.
The Hazlet school marked the first New Jersey stop in Cantor Fitzgerald's charity effort, which also distributed cards yesterday at three schools in Keansburg: Port Monmouth Road School, Joseph C. Caruso School and Joseph R. Bolger Middle School.
Roughly 1,000 families in the two towns will receive $1,000 each. In all, Cantor Fitzgerald plans to hand out $10 million in cards at 19 elementary schools in New York and New Jersey. No other New Jersey stops are planned.
Cantor Fitzgerald chose the schools because they were in areas that were among the hardest hit by Sandy and were in regions where company employees live.
Anyone who couldn't pick up the cards yesterday can make arrangements to receive them in the future.
Yesterday, about 480 families had shown their IDs at Holy Family School and picked up their cards. The families can spend the money anywhere, any time.
"They can use the money in any way they see fit, and they can get the money without any red tape," said New Jersey Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who visited yesterday morning's event.

10 Facts About Saint Pope John Paul II You Didn't Know
Saint John Paul II was an amazing man, priest, bishop, pope, and now Saint! But here are 10 things about him that you may have never known:
Saint John Paul II could speak Latin fluently. A rare art these days. Oh and besides his native Polish, he could also converse in: Slovak, Russian, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Ukrainian, and English.
Saint John Paul II received his call to the priesthood when he once accidentally "caught" his father praying alone during the night on his knees.
Saint John Paul II was an expert on Saint John of Cross and the Carmelite mystical tradition. The title of one of his doctoral dissertations (yes, the man had not one, but two doctorates) was "The Doctrine of Faith in Saint John of the Cross."
Saint John Paul II was the first Pope to visit the White House in the United States.
Saint John Paul II visited 129 nation during his pontificate – the most of any Pope ever (including Saint Peter)!
Saint John Paul II has the honor as the one human who has gathered the most humans together in one spot! At the 1995 World Youth Day in the Philippines, an estimated 5 million people attended a Holy Mass that His Holiness celebrated. This was the largest human gathering from the creation of mankind.
Saint John Paul II was shot on May 13, 1981 – May 13 is the anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima's first apparition!
Saint John Paul II was elected Pope on October 16 – the feast of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque – the famous saint who promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is appropriate since the Divine Mercy devotion is a further flowering of devotion to the Sacred Heart!
Saint John Paul II received pre-processed food through a nasal tube during the last week of his life.
How did he die? The Vatican stated that had died from "cardiocirculatory collapse and septic shock."
And one last thing that you may not have known: He was praying for you during his last days. And he is praying for you right now!
Saint John Paul II, pray for us!

Mel Gibson's film 'The Passion of the Christ.'
Tony Pearce
Written in 2004
How many evangelical Christian pastors would invite a traditional Roman Catholic, who sees Mary as a Co-Redemptrix with Jesus and believes that eating meat on Fridays is a mortal sin, to speak in their churches? Or a nun who has mystic visions and claims to be able to levitate in a state of ecstasy and says she lives on nothing but the Eucharistic wafer and water? Probably not many.
Yet evangelical pastors sent their flocks out in droves to watch 'The Passion of the Christ' directed by Mel Gibson, a traditional Catholic who received much of his inspiration from Sister Emerich (1774-1824), a nun who wrote 'The Dolorous Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.' While some have described the film as 'one of the greatest evangelistic tools in modern day history' T.A. McMahon, in an excellent book 'Showtime for the Sheep' uncovers the danger behind this film and points to the way it is being used to bring yet more deception into the church.
The book documents the stated Roman Catholic influence behind the film and the way it is being used to bring evangelical Christians further under the influence of Rome: 'The movie is Mel Gibson's Catholic vision. His scholarly resources were Jesuit priests. 'It reflects my beliefs – I've never done that before,' Gibson told a reporter.' (Page 55). James Caviezel, who plays 'Jesus' in the film, states: 'This film is something that I believe was made by Mary for Her Son.' (Page 84 quoting the Medjugorje Website).
The conservative Catholic magazine 'Inside the Vatican' acknowledges the ecumenical influence the film is having: 'For evangelicals the film has given them a glimpse inside the Catholic soul, even the traditional Catholic soul. Many evangelicals, reflecting on what they saw in the movie, say they are beginning to 'get' the whole Catholic thing: Lent … the ashes on the forehead … no meat on Friday … the sorrowful mysteries … the Stations of the Cross … the emphasis on the Eucharist … the devotion to Mary … the enormous crucifix hanging above every Catholic altar. They may not be rushing to buy rosaries, but some of the things no longer seem so strange, so alien.' (Page 84)
The pope is alleged to have commented after seeing the film, 'It is as it was.' McMahon points out the absurdity of this statement, since no one living today was there to verify what did or did not happen. The people who were there recorded the Gospel narrative which conflicts with much of the film. For example in the Gospels when Jesus prays in Gethsemane an Angel comes to strengthen Him. In the film Satan comes to tempt him. McMahon writes: 'Peter denies 'Jesus' without the cock crowing; as he calls Mary 'Mother' Peter kneels before her, acknowledging his guilt in denying her son; … Mary goes to 'Jesus' as he falls under the weight of the cross; a flashback shows Mary running to 'Jesus' as a young child; … the cross with 'Jesus' on it appears to levitate before it is placed on the ground; as the cross is put in place, Mary alone among the followers of 'Jesus' is standing; Mary kisses the blood drenched foot of 'Jesus'; … the body of 'Jesus' is partially draped across Mary.' (Pages 47-8).
In the film Mary plays a key role in the events of the crucifixion, comforting and strengthening 'Jesus' in his suffering. Her role is in line with the Catholic view of her as McMahon shows in the chapter, 'Mary the Executive Producer': 'The Passion advances Mary, not in an overtly Catholic, Queen of Heaven way, but showing her presence continually in her humanity – as a mother suffering along with her son.' (Page 89). James Caviezel credits 'Our Lady of Medjugorje' for enabling him to play her son: 'In preparation I used all that Medjugorje taught me'. (Page 88).
Medjugorje is a place in war torn Bosnia where Mary is claimed to have appeared and told those who saw the vision: 'Tell the priest, tell everyone that it is you who are divided on earth. The Muslims and the Orthodox, for the same reason as Catholics, are equal before my Son and I. You are all my children.' (Page 87-8). Mary as the 'queen of ecumenism' is being promoted as the one who can bring together diverse religions, including Islam and Roman Catholicism.
The mythical Mary of Roman Catholicism is exalted as Queen of Heaven, Mother of God, Eternal Virgin, Co-Redemptrix. However this teaching and the apparitions which come in her name have nothing to do with the real Mary (Miriam), a faithful Jewish girl, who conceived the Messiah supernaturally and gave birth to Him as a virgin, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 7.14. She then went on to have other children in the normal way by her husband Joseph. The real Mary needed a Saviour and found one in the Son she gave birth to (Luke 3.47, John 2.5). The mythical Mary of Roman Catholicism is a deceiving spirit which is playing a major role in the great end time deception leading to the fulfilment of Revelation 17.3-6, the woman riding the beast.
The real Mary played no significant role at all at the cross. She is mentioned only once in the four Gospels in this connection: 'When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciple, whom he loved, standing by, he said to his mother, 'Woman behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold your mother!' And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.' (John 19.26-7) Far from strengthening Jesus at the cross, He shows His concern for her by making sure she is looked after by John. In fact some commentators say Jesus actually sends her away from the cross so she does not have to watch His suffering and death, and John takes her straight away to a house he had use of nearby in Jerusalem. Mary was among the other disciples seven weeks later in the Upper Room (Acts 1.14), but there is no further mention of her in the Book of Acts or the Epistles. This shows that she played no special role in the life of the early church.
McMahon shows how the approval given to this film is the result of the growing reliance in evangelical circles on entertainment to communicate the message of the Gospel instead of preaching and teaching the Bible. While the Bible is the infallible Word of God, movies about the Bible are the product of human imagination, adding to its message and using techniques which manipulate the mind in order to get its message across. McMahon shows how films become a visual translation of the Bible which leads to confusion in the uninformed viewer who may think this is what the Bible says, when in fact it is how the producer of the film interprets the message. He goes so far as to conclude that any actor playing the role of Jesus is in fact violating the commandment not to make graven images (Exodus 20.4-5). Some may think this is an extreme view, but it cannot be denied that an image is a visual representation of something or someone but is not that actual person or thing. Since we cannot represent God we are commanded not to make any image of Him and since the New Testament teaches that Jesus is God, we cannot truly represent Him either.
McMahon shows that the success of The Passion of the Christ and its widespread acceptance by evangelical Christians is the fruit of a process that has been going on for some time. In 1994 an historic document was produced 'Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT): The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium.' Its mission goals were Christian unity and co-evangelisation. The document declared that 'Evangelicals and Catholics are brothers and sisters in Christ' and that as 'we enter upon a Third Millennium that could be in the words of John Paul II, 'a springtime of world missions,' we must 'witness together' to win the world to Christ. In that endeavour however ECT cautioned against 'sheep stealing' asserting that 'it is neither theologically legitimate nor a prudent use of resources for one Christian community to proselytise among active adherents of another Christian community.' In other words it's not right for evangelicals to evangelise Roman Catholics and vice versa.' (Page 120).
On this subject McMahon, who came to know the Lord from a Catholic background, says, 'The gospel according to the Church of Rome is a false gospel. Believing it cannot save anyone. Roman Catholic dogmas such as baptismal regeneration, the Eucharist, and purgatory are a rejection of Christ's gift of salvation – paid for in full – by Him on the cross. To truly love Catholics means to share that truth with them not to embrace a work that denies the biblical Gospel.' (Page 15).

Of the $51.5 million, $41 million would be spent on roads and bridges, a sum that would make the state eligible for $72 million in matching federal funds, the state said.
"We're not taking a formal position because there is more in the bond question than just road and bridge funding," said Brian Parke, president of the Maine Motor Transport Association.
The rest of the money would go for such things as port and airport improvements and for public transit projects.

This paper has investigated the importance of spiritual and emotional quotient in reinforcing the values of Islamic ethics. The development of good character in Islam is the process of encountering with individual feelings that contributes to the creation of and support of good and proper feelings such as forgiveness, compassion, love, generosity, and courage and fights against negative feelings such as envy, anger, selfishness and dastardliness and suppresses them. Character-making should do many works with patience and persistence in controlling feelings resulting in negative dimensions and reinforcing feelings resulting in positive ethics. Employing and controlling feelings will result in training deserved ethics. In addition, it leads a healthy spiritual and psychic life. New research show that individuals who reinforce their own spiritual motivations and have developed their own emotional quotient, are more inclined to achieve competitive advantage than those who have not this intelligence. The main objective of this research is to investigate a new field in modern psychology including emotional quotient and spiritual quotient that is aimed at whether new psychological approaches and positive findings of studying human emotions and feelings can contribute to the Islamic ethics or not.

por Jonathan Sherwood | May 20, 2020 | Press Release | 0 Comentarios
Endeavor Western New York (WNY) has announced that Sweetwater Energy Chairman and CEO Arunas Chesonis, President Jack Baron, CFO Al Chesonis, and CTO Scott Tudman have been selected to join the prestigious Endeavor Global entrepreneur network. These notable entrepreneurs are Endeavor WNY's first candidates to be welcomed to this network, which will provide the Sweetwater Energy team with exceptional access to markets, mentors, customers, talent and capital.
Endeavor Global's network includes 2,000 entrepreneurs from more than 1,200 companies in over 35 markets throughout Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and North America. Companies led by Endeavor Entrepreneurs generated combined revenues of $20 billion in 2018 and have created 3 million jobs in their local economies. Endeavor Entrepreneurs commit to mentoring and investing in the next generation of founders.
Sweetwater Energy, which is based in Rochester, NY, is helping to build a world that no longer depends on finite, non-renewable fossil fuels and food for chemicals, plastics, energy and advanced materials for products that we use every day. They use a unique technology to produce low-cost biomaterials, bioenergy, and biochemicals from non-food plant materials to help meet the modern world's increasing demands.
The Sweetwater Energy team completed the final step in the Endeavor Global's application process on May 19 when they went before Endeavor's International Selection Panel (ISP), which included the following people:
Pietro Sella, CEO at Banca Sella Holding, Italy
Elise Mitchell, CEO of Mitchell Communications Group, Arkansas
Scott Sobel, Managing Partner of Valor Capital Group, New York / Brazil
Stephen Ciesinski, Stanford Graduate School of Business, California
Firat Isbecer, Entrepreneur and Investor, Turkey
Brian Requarth, Chairman and CEO of Viva Real, California
"It is a great honor to be selected to join the Endeavor Global network," said Sweetwater Energy Chairman and CEO Arunas Chesonis. "The relationships that Endeavor brings to the table for business development, talent attraction and access to capital will empower Sweetwater Energy to scale our business more quickly; further provide advanced materials, bioenergy and biochemical alternatives to the world; and increase our impact on Western New York."
Endeavor WNY Board Chairman John Somers said, "Endeavor Global evaluates entrepreneurs on both their potential to scale their companies and their evidence of giving back to their communities. That's why it's perfectly fitting that the members of Sweetwater Energy's executive team are Western New York's first representatives in Endeavor Global's network. Here we have a set of accomplished, seasoned, community-minded entrepreneurs helming a company that has an opportunity to create significant jobs and wealth in Western New York, while also having a profound impact on our world's natural environment."
Endeavor WNY is a nonprofit organization that supports founders and companies in WNY that have passed through the initial startup phase and demonstrate the potential for rapid expansion and scale. Endeavor WNY identifies and selects high-impact entrepreneurs in and around Buffalo and Rochester and provides them access to Endeavor Global's network to help expand their ventures into enterprises that can propel the local economy and have a large impact in the community. Endeavor WNY operates through the support of the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, HSBC Bank USA, Wegmans Food Markets, and the Max and Marian Farash Charitable Foundation, as well as backing from local business leaders.
"Endeavor Global's application process is highly competitive – each year, only a small fraction of the hundreds of candidates from around the world are accepted," said Endeavor WNY Managing Director John Gavigan. "The Sweetwater Energy team's selection to Endeavor Global's network is a testament to their leadership and vision as businesspeople and their commitment to strengthening our Western New York region. It's exciting to put a representative of WNY like Arunas on a global stage and, in the months and years to come, we look forward to shining a light on many more of WNY's inspiring entrepreneurs."
Alan Rosenhoch, Endeavor WNY Entrepreneur Selection & Growth Account Manager, added, "Congratulations to Sweetwater Energy's executive team on being selected to join the Endeavor Global network. Their path to selection was a rigorous one that featured multiple rounds of vetting at the local, regional and international levels. I'm proud to say that over the months of preparation that led up to this moment, the team received robust coaching, guidance and support from our partners in both Buffalo and Rochester. This is precisely the type of collaboration we intend to expand on, in order to knit our two cities more closely together as one region."

If you have a little girl in your life who deserves special something come February 14th, you're definitely in the right place. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I wanted to put together a special gift guide with all of Zelda's favorite things. These are all items Zelda loves and I feel pretty confident that if she could write this post herself, she would recommend all of them. Let's be honest, the girl knows what she wants and she usually lets me know. I hope you find something for the little princess in your life that lights her up this Valentine's Day!
1. My Little Pony Makeup Set: Zelda has been very into makeup lately so I ordered her her own mini makeup set. It's a rainbow of colors, which makes it fun to see what look she winds up with after she's done glamming. Highly recommend!
2. Lola + The Boys Sequin Unicorn Bomber Jacket: Lola of Lola and The Boys is one of Zelda's real-life BFFs so I had to include this adorable Lola and The Boys sequin unicorn bomber jacket. Any girl will be instantly obsessed!
3. Heart Umbrella: This is a fun umbrella not only for Valentine's Day but year round. It's just cute and adds a little bit of love to your kids' everyday style.
4. Heart Sunglasses: These glasses come in under $10 and are a guaranteed hit. They come in tons and tons of colors and could be very fun for a little mommy and me photoshoot.
5. Hello Kitty Instant Camera: One of Zelda and I's favorite things to do is shoot photos on an Instax camera. Shocking? Probably not. I love to show Zelda how to use the camera (make sure to do this before setting your kids loose) and then letting her go on a little adventure while taking photos. It's just a bonus the camera comes decked out Hello Kitty style.
6. In Bloom Book Collection: This is a gift that will keep on giving for years to come. With classic titles like A Little Princess and Heidi your daughter will love these beautiful books forever.
7. Funboy Inflatable Snowmobile: This is for everyone living somewhere with snow right now. It's such a fun take on a traditional sled. Plus, it's very well made and you can ride on it together so Zelda and I both have been loving it this winter season.
8. Jewelry Box with Polished Heart Inside: For some reason this idea kind of tugs on my heartstrings. The beautiful jewelry box is such a cute find that you can fill with candy or costume jewelry, but I really love the rose quartz polished hearts for an extra sweet treasure.
9. Dr. Marten Pink Glitter Boots: It's a known fact around our house that Zelda loves her Dr. Marten pink glitter boots. They're virtually indestructible and perfect for winter. And, who doesn't need a glitter boot in their life? TIP: buy a half size up so they still fit, but give room to grow.
10. Valentine Balloons: Every child I've ever met loves balloons. If I did these for Zelda (she loves a good balloon, you should see her 4th birthday post), I'd either blow them up in the morning before breakfast or surprise her with them when she comes home from school. Either way, it's a fun way to get kids excited about the holiday. And don't forget to grab this helium tank for easy inflating.
Hopefully you feel inspired by these 10 ideas to get something extra special for the little girls in your life! Happy Valentine's Day!
