A Cup of Friendship $35 From the author of the “bighearted . . . inspiring” (Vogue) memoir Kabul Beauty School comes a fiction debut as compelling as real life: the story of a remarkable coffee shop in the heart of Afghanistan, and the men and women who meet there—thrown together by circumstance, bonded by secrets, and united in an extraordinary friendship. After hard luck and some bad choices, Sunny has finally found a place to call home—it just happens to be in the middle of a war zone. The thirty-eight-year-old American’s pride and joy is the Kabul Coffee House, where she brings hospitality to the expatriates, misfits, missionaries, and mercenaries who stroll through its doors. She’s especially grateful that the busy days allow her to forget Tommy, the love of her life, who left her in pursuit of money and adventure.Working alongside Sunny is the maternal Halajan, who vividly recalls the days before the Taliban and now must hide a modern romance from her ultratraditional son—who, unbeknownst to her, is facing his own religious doubts. Into the café come Isabel, a British journalist on the trail of a risky story; Jack, who left his family back home in Michigan to earn “danger pay” as a consultant; and Candace, a wealthy and well-connected American whose desire to help threatens to cloud her judgment. When Yazmina, a young Afghan from a remote village, is kidnapped and left on a city street pregnant and alone, Sunny welcomes her into the café and gives her a home—but Yazmina hides a secret that could put all their lives in jeopardy. As this group of men and women discover that there’s more to one another than meets the eye, they’ll form an unlikely friendship that will change not only their own lives but the lives of an entire country.Brimming with Deborah Rodriguez’s remarkable gift for depicting the nuances of life in Kabul, and filled with vibrant characters |

Excerpt: South Deerfield, Massachusetts – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The area was once home to the Pocumtuck tribe, who were driven away by settlers relocated in 1673 from Dedham. In retaliation, on September 18, 1675 the Indians attacked and killed Captain Thomas Lathrop and a small force in the Battle of Bloody Brook, before being routed by reinforcements. Thereafter called Bloody Brook or Muddy Brook, South Deerfield in 1809 attempted to be set off from Deerfield because of the distance to its meetinghouse, in addition to religious differences with its minister, the Reverend Samuel Willard. The grant was refused and the village remained part of Deerfield, but South Deerfield nevertheless dedicated its own meetinghouse in 1821.

Scrying the Secrets of the Future: How to Use Crystal Balls, Water, Fire, Wax, Mirrors, Shadows, and Spirit Guides to Reveal Your Destiny $6.95 Scrying means seeing magical images in a reflective medium, such as a crystal ball, mirror, or natural source of inspiration like fire, water or clouds. The word “scry,” derived from the Anglo-Saxon word descry, means to “perceive dimly.”Scrying in shiny surfaces has been practiced in almost every culture and time, not only by mystics, clairvoyants and magicians, but also by every girl who has gazed into a mirror and hoped to see her lover’s face in the glass.Though it is one of the most ancient ways of predicting the future, scrying is as relevant today as when our distant ancestors gazed into pools by moonlight to locate the herds – it does not conflict with modern scientific knowledge or psychology.Scrying the Secrets of the Future offers practical, hands-on guidance to using a wide variety of methods from many cultures and ages-from Ancient Egypt, the Aztecs and Mayans, and Classical Greece and Rome to Medieval European magicians, village wise women and 21st century coffee-shop divination. Discussion of each method includes its history and cultural background, traditional practices, and how to adapt these techniques to the needs of the modern world and everyday decision making. This unique book will help you:Learn to see and interpret images in many forms, including wax, herbs and oils on water, crystal balls and candles, shadows and dark mirrors. Explore additional techniques of clairaudience, psychic hearing and clairsentience, and psychic impressions, to make your scrying multi dimensional.Discover how to prepare yourself psychically, find the best scrying tools, empower them, ensure you are protectedspiritually as you work, and how to close down your psychic energies after divination.Find out how to maximize future possibilities, avoid potential problems, and advise others privately and professionally through clairvoyanceCommunicate with and channel angels and spirit |

The Find: The Housing Works Book of Decorating with Thrift Shop Treasures, Flea Market Objects, and Vintage Details $15.24 Sometimes you’re looking for it, sometimes it just finds youTreasures of home décor abound at flea markets, thrift shops, and garage sales. But how do you know a find when you find it? In The Find, Stan Williams and some of today’s most clever style makers, including Simon Doonan, John Derian, and Real Simple’s Kristin van Ogtrop–all diehard devotees of New York City’s Housing Works–show not just what to look for, but also how to look at an object to identify a great piece. The trick is to see beyond nicks and wobbles, color and intended purpose and to focus on potential. For example, a vintage leather trunk encased in Lucite works as a stunning coffee table. Pages from old books wallpaper a foyer. A cushion fashioned from a baseball diamond’s home plate makes a garden chair comfortable. The Find includes chapters on furniture, accessories, small spaces, and entertaining. From a suburban ranch to an East Village studio in New York, each abode illustrates unexpected ways that secondhand items can make statements (or space) throughout a home. Elegantly photographed, filled with practical sidebars about refurbishing, styling, and treasure-hunting, and replete with the quirky sensibility that has made Housing Works one of the most popular destinations for great things, The Find is at once a handbook and inspiration for vintage decorating. Secondhand does not mean second rate when there’s always something special to be found. |

Where’s the best place to live in London (zone 1 and 2) that feels like a little village?
I currently live in Chelsea but it’s too posh and pretentious and the neighbors don’t seem to get to know each other. Plus full of outsiders vs. locals, and too many strollers and middle aged couples for a single guy.
So… where to go? Single, 30s, straight, cultured, American. like coffee shops, quiet pubs, independent restaurants and shops, art galleries, you get the picture
thanks!
Easily Dulwich. Contains all of coffee shops, quiet pubs, independent restaurants and shops, art galleries.

How it’s Possible to get the Most from Your Customer Meetings Guidance for All Photographers
Bride meetups are so important for your business and your reputation that a large amount of thought and care needs to be put into them. Many a wedding photographer will feel that showing an easy album of their work is sufficiently good to close a deal. This is not true, the world of pro photography is strongly competitive and everything that you do toward enlarging the amount of clients that sign up is vital.
First you have to decide where you are going to meet your customer. Sometimes there are 3 choices:
- At your work (or home) address
- At the clients home
- At a neutral location suitable to you both.
Which you choose will rely upon where you reside and the type of business you run. If you’ve a studio in a village centre then everyone will come to you. However if you’re located out in the country then you will have to go to your bride or meet at a local coffee shop.
If you have got to meet away from home, try to find a location which is quiet, so you can be heard with no interruption and that is like a quality venue. Choose a period of the day when the place is at it’s least busy “it is worth phoning the locale beforehand to check on their quiet times.
If you have got to go to go to the customer, try to be sure you take all that you need to sign the deal, including detailed price lists and contracts. If you guarantee to put something in the post, then there is always the possibility that they may change their mind.
When you arrange the meeting, try to make sure that all of the decision makers are present. This is typically parents of the bride or groom who could be stumping up for the event.
If the client comes to your house, make sure it is clean, tidy and smells fresh. There is little worse than working into someone’s house and feeling that you want to walk right back out again.
If feasible run a display on a huge projector or big high definition display. Size does matter and people will be impressed by the scale of the pictures which they’re used to viewing on a small laptop screen.
Put plenty of work into your display albums make sure that they are actually provoking and show off the particular features you are making an attempt to stress.
Always talk in positive terms about the things which you will be doing for them. Talk as if you are their chosen shutter-bug. Before they leave “ask for the business “never permit them to go with a straightforward thank you. They may have made their call and are willing to sign at this time “explain that dates are going fast and you would love to document their marriage.
In summing up, treat people with respect and kindness and treat them in the same way you want to be treated by a 5 start hotel. Remember, you are selling a 5 star service.

Romantic Weekend Away?
I would like some reccomendations for a romantic weekend away (this weekend so only a weeks notice). In the UK or Ireland.
I would rather have recommendations from people who have actually been to a specific accommodation in a location, etc. Details on how to book would be good too.
Somewhere coastal sounds nice. I love sea air. The sound of seagulls. Nice landscapes, bit of countryside, not many other people around.
If we can take the car, I don’t mind travelling to nearby villages/towns for shopping, interesting things to do, coffee shops, traditional pubs, entertainment, etc. Providing we can go back to the cottage type place at the end of the evening and relax and wake up to quiet, skies and sea air. Cottages or quiet old stately home type hotels sound nice. Cottages prefered.
Money-wise, I want to spend enough to get somewhere really nice, but not too extortionate.

Travellers Gather At Christian Shrine Site In Bosnia.
MEDJUGORJE, Bosnia-HerzegovinaThousands of Christian travellers have gathered in the southern Bosnian town of Medjugorje to mark the 30th anniversary of the questioned apparition of the Virgin Mary.
At dawn Sat., travellers from around the world climbed a hill above Medjugorje where 6 kids claimed in 1981 they had the visions.
The Medjugorje apparition has been disputed for years. Unlike Fatima in Portugal or Lourdes in France, the Roman Catholic church is wary about calling the sightings real, and hasn’t formally authorized Medjugorje as a shrine site. The Vatican last year started formally digging into the apparitions that the sixnow adultsclaim are still regular.
But the lack of official recognition hasn’t stopped the remote town from thriving, thru communism and then war. Some 40 million faithful have visited its shrine so far.
A Catholic priest blesses a traveller as other pilgrims walk by at the St. Jackob church in the southern Bosnian town of Medjugorje,160 kms south of Sarajevo, Sat., June 25, 2011. It is thought that the Virgin Mary showed herself and conveyed messages of peace to 6 kids in Medjugorje on June 25, 1981.
For 30 years, the purported phenomenon was ignored by the Catholic authorities in Rome until 2010 when Pope Benedict XVI issued an order to form an investigation team to go searching for the truth surrounding the Medjugorje sightings. From the beginning in 1981, Medjugorje was generally accepted by Catholic believers, and pilgrims arrived in their many thousands every year to hope to the Virgin.
