Shag Bands-colour Meaning

author 'Peace' hold level - Emma Donoghue 'Slammerkin'

Soon After reading 'Room' in the hands of another book caught my Emma Donoghue - Slammerkin (in free translation loose, but loose gown worn at the time by women).
literally fell because I was in a library book and give it to someone to put a cast in front of me on the counter. I knew that I have exams and course, I knew I should not, but I could not resist and I took her home. I wanted to check to see that the writer is only as good as I think after reading this one book? As I expected, I had no time for reading, I started it and I put on the bedside table, podczytywałam with a heavy heart, because stealing time to learn, and when everything pozdawałam, so I had enough English that had to turn to something in Polish and then lay set aside for later. I lost to her heart, but something I was enchanted by this story, something drew her, I decided to give her a chance, in the end is not the fault of the book that fell on evil times. Besides I liked the very cover, she did not innovative, but it attracted my attention as much as the story and did not begin until gave peace.
was fortunate that I gave her no unfinished. Plułabym himself in the chin. Emma Donoghue
this time takes us to the eighteenth century. Based on court documents from the proceedings of Mary Saunders, serving the Welsh province, which killed his mistress, for which he was sentenced to hanging or burning, and perhaps even to both penalties together. In those days it was a noisy affair. For information about the process and remains a story about this girl, Emma creates a fascinating story of growing up and the fall of a young girl. At the time she was hanging just 17, maybe even 16 years. Mary
childhood spent in London, in a poor family Węglarz - her stepfather, father, geek because he brought the family from the Welsh Moumouth (then it was England), to the capital and was descended. She was ambitious, she studied with the nuns, was also wolnomyślicielką and had a big mouth, for which her mother chastised eternally. His mother wanted him to have a good job (sewing), but seen as a mother and daughter was engaging in this profession can not allow yourself to anything, barely make ends meet, and sometimes is not what you put into the pot. She did not want such life. I was vain. Jednago I saw a beautiful color of hair ribbon, and in order to gain its initiation was held for her relationship with a man. She was 14 years old. This gave her confidence that alone can lead their lives. Mother throws her from his house, when it turns out she is pregnant. The street is pojamana by a group of men and raped so that losing a child, surely would die somewhere in the bushes, where he abandoned it, but it deals with a London prostitute Dolly, who takes her to himself, he heals, helps and pulls to the profession.
What happened to the baby, why Mary goes to London and incurs to serve the people, why ultimately kills his mistress, you will learn from a book you do not want to spoil the fun. That killed a known right away, it's not spoiler on my part, all bajer in shifting back in time and understand the motives. Like this story structure.

Throughout the reading of the story was happy with, I was not born in those times, when women were treated instrumentally, as tools for health, cooking and needs of men. Their life in most cases, was devoid of light, destined to grace swoich ojców, potem mężczyzn, nawet jeśli nie były służącymi, i tak wykonywały taką rolę wobec swojego pana, którym był właśnie mąż, czy ojciec, czy brat, u którego były na dożywociu.

Emma Donoghue nie tylko przejmująco pisze o Mary Saunders, ale też wspaniale ukazuje osiemnastowieczną Anglię, Londyn i prowincję, jak wyglądały wtedy miasta, czym się różniła stolica od reszty kraju. Przy okazji poznajemy strukture społeczeństwa w tamtym okresie, jak się objawiał status kobiety, stąd tak ważne miejsce zajmują stroje i kto, jak jest ubrany.
Obserwujemy Mary and her life, first regular street whore, then its efforts to break out of this, climb a rung higher, in those days, a risky decision to move (migration of people were not so discouraged), though the circumstances have helped her to take that step, and that require it from her courage. In all this is a great desire for freedom, and the social, personal, and that it was crucial to her awareness that even a prostitute can be proud, if you have paid for their services, because it gives her freedom. Unprecedented awareness in such a young girl.
Ostatecznie to ją właśnie gubi, niecodzienna u kobiety w tamtych czasach cecha - bezczelność dązenia do samostanowienia o sobie, do bycia panią samej siebie. Mary ma poczucie, że w swojej pani znajduje erzac rodziny i matki, która ją wygnała, ale i to nie pomaga, żeby stłumić jej naturę.

Piękna, wspaniała historia młodej dziewczynki, która dla wybryku staje się kobietą i spełnia swoje przeznaczenie w zaledwie kilka krótkich lat. Chociaż jak się to czyta, ma się wrażenie, że kilka życiorysów mogłaby tym obdzielić. Bo prostytutki w tamtych czasach żyły ostro i umierały młodo. A pity, because Mary had been given the chance, would be a remarkable woman.
I am glad that Emma Donoghue saved her from oblivion. It is a great writer and definitely read her other books yet.

Glory Hole Sacramento, Ca

Why so late I found it where I had my eyes, and more importantly - where the mole was my intuition?

I borrowed this book from Monica of blue bookcase. Been left a little bit, because it is still something unseemly to me to read first, and this club, and it tests again, reached for her only odstatnio.

zatrybiło From the first page. Until my hands were shaking, I could not at all in this book put, and if it had, with great regret. You need to know that when I took her hand, I was so mentally washed, so tired, and exams, and the spring solstice, and the personal turmoil that I just do not expect that I will be able to focus attention on anything, but Margaret Ward, master of words, style and suspense (yes, yes, in this case the suspense), seduced me completely, enough of that, my attention was so focused on this novel, that with reluctance, I managed my thoughts towards other activities or responsibilities.

Content novel is the story of three women, actually four - Sarah, Lena, Monica and Sarah.
Agnes lives in France, after years spent in paid surrogate mother by her mother, it is taken to Paris, in the new environment, little knowing it in total. Their complicated relationship will affect the its life. And memories are not quite arranged in a coherent whole. Lena lives in Poland, studying, students posing ASP, trying somehow to live, but the kidnapping of her sister Sarah, when she was a few years, cast a shadow on the lives of Lena and her father . Monica is
guard on the beach with sand dunes in Leba. Says she was kidnapped and held for several years. As soon begins to unravel her story, the media spin vortex is impossibly hard to keep everything in check, but from what her lawyer? Only if his intentions are pure? I recently read
Room, I know that soon this novel under the Polish title of Peace, will be released in our market, I could not resist the comparison, and there a woman with a child kidnapped by a man being held, and here's a similar story, but how else included.

action keeps you in suspense. I could not wait eagerly turning pages when I find out what happened to Sarah, who he really is Monika, what about Agnes, there is a mystery after all!
is a lot about the internal experiences of the characters, but not weary, it does not seem trivial, on the contrary - it is poignant and true. During the reading, but also outside, when you have a moment off to work, for example, live in a world created by the author, living in these places, follows the heroine as a shadow. It's called a fly on the wall.

Mad to see Margaret Wardy. Now I want to read everything I ever wrote. It will be difficult task, because, unfortunately, looked today, on the occasion of the order of several books, resources, Merlin, and nothing, not one have to offer, except the production in question. Eh, I would have hunted for years. Great sadness.

How To Make Good Mini Lego

Chmielewska Chmielewska uneven. I know that I risk riots and lynchings, but I am not impressed Lesio

Chmielewska know the child, in 1975 we got from The Simple Life star and so it began. Together with the pious approach to it, I miss distance, to judge her books, just all I like, because it Chmielewska and now.
O 'Lesiu' legends circulate, Lesio cult is a book without a doubt. Strangely never read this novel is not. First, it was not to buy (czytelniczkom younger, I recall that the book does not always zwalały the bookstore shelves and Allegro has always existed, says wymianki, włóczykijki etc), not to get in the libraries, and when I bought it already, did an old number of Title - Put on the shelf and I'll pray to, but God forbid to read, because as you read, what I left? I took her with him on holiday in Sochi, but not I was doing the reading. I could not get through Lesia murdering personnel.
recently took a deep breath and threw the novel to the player. Long ago I got the audiobook from my friend, she knew that I like Chmielewska. I decided that I must face him, because I like it, a fan writer who does not read its flagship novel?
Oh, now it was better to remain in blissful ignorance and the belief that something special to me bypasses. Lesio Unfortunately for me too exaggerated, not that humor attracts me. I do not like jokes in the style of Benny Hill, hammering the heads up and his back, hiding under the table, kicked in the butt and the like.
if the book consists of three parts. In the first Lesio, hated the book because of the lateness handed over to the personnel, he decides to murder her, sees no other choice. His attempts and actions do not play me, surprised me, however, that anyone can now laugh over the descriptions of the guy who tosses up the house with the melting ice. And that his love for Barbara. Pathetic.
Then it was even worse, because the whole architectural studio project decided to steal a competitive individual with a speeding train, who tried to stop dressed as hunchbacked. It was so ridiculous, that it laugh at the description of Lesia rushing with an artificial hump on the track before the train. It was one of the two cases to my amusement when reading this novel. And all those who read, say they are choked, choking, and poured tea while reading it. Well, we have not yet evening, I thought, and started reading the third section (the third convention, because there really is no part as such).
I liked it to me the most, because it most resembled Chmielewska and that I like and appreciate. This time, the studio is coming to a Dane and his struggle with the Polish language, mixing concepts and strange, by Polish standards of behavior, śmieszyły me, but not yet head off, but enough that I was ukontentowana, behold, I found this novel, my beloved Mrs. Joanna .
For one scene was worth the ears to read this book - the one in which team members studio, away for the inventory of the city, entangled in a theatrical production, making measurements, while repeating roles. Until I sat down with the impression, how beautiful is the author wrote. Funny, smart and imaginative. Oh, the humor that I like - situational, arising not from the gags in the style of English comedy, but from the fact that someone did not want to, even as he was funny. As it did in the 'All Red' or 'road side' (for example, when the mother tried to pour the milk and squatted at a moment when a car that looked funny and wprawiło observer in astonishment). Total
sumarrum as a professor would say beginning, I could live without reading this book. Were it not for the last part of the Dane, probably would be even angry that I read it, and it remained a good impression, but not without an awareness that, however, an overstatement.

Cool Whip Fruit Salad

Poniedziałkowo u Padma, stosikowo from London, which is an old number - as a mother asked her daughter about the hunt for Jane Austen

First, reported that this week fell into Padma for tea and chatting about books. That means I got a proposed response to the questions, I made myself a cup of tea and wrote a few words that now you can read this blog probably the most famous textbook. There is no question about it - it's an honor.

And besides, I wanted to commend you three items of Jane Austen, które moja córka wytropiła dla mnie w Londynie.


Aż mi głupio do tego się przyznawać, ale zamiast usiąść z nią na spokojnie przed jej wyjazdem i powiedzieć, czego szukam, odwaliłam saty numer i przypomniałam sobie o tym wtedy, kiedy ona już była w Londynie. Rzucilam się do telefonu i oczywiście wysłałąm do niej sto sms-ów z opisem książek, tytułami i ewentualnymi miejscami, gdzie ma ich szukać (i tu przydał się blog Padmy, bo ona tam kiedyś opisywała księgarnie w tej metropolii). Zaczęłam do niej pisać 'wykrzyknikami' - LIST, MUST LIST, and besides biography. There has been slipping slightly, because I really wanted the position of Valerie Grosvenor Myer 'Jane Austen: Obstinate Heart "(in Polish edition title was Jawed heart), but did not remember the author, and ended up on the fact that Michalina bought me another biography, which I have not yet relationship - Andrew Norman 'Jane Austen. An Unrequited Love "

Read and see. The letters that was terribly funny story, because there is nowhere they can get. I wanted a choice, because I knew that I'm not too much money in six volumes. Michalina entered into one of the bookstores, she asked for it and you switch on the eyes, ostentatiously put it on your hands white gloves, he disappeared for a moment and returned to them, holding in her hands clad in white ... The first edition of Jane Austen's letters first volume, for the entire 300 pounds. He did not make them touch the book, turning pages and presented to the visual assessment. The daughter said she was so proud of this one, she had no conscience to tell him that seeking a cheap book to read, and not to hold the cabinet with temperature control and Moisture. Before we went spent several minutes to delight and assured that reflect and come back up. She called me afterwards and said - moms, I'm sorry that I still could not afford, lest you buy it. Dear child. Letters
bought, but the selection (Oxford edition). In addition to this was another item, about which I've never heard it and decided to buy me - 'Jane's Fame' Claire Harman.
I know that for connoisseurs of the subject, such as the Padma, you are probably rather Mountaineering items for the layman. But I do not read much about it, apart from Jane Austen's novels themselves, I'm glad this is how jagged the chopped biscuits. A hunting
Iron Jawed Angels takes to heart. Something I do not have luck with this book.

Preparing Project For New Business

The Bookshop - Penelope Fitzgerald

This inconspicuous książczyna pretty surprised me. I found mention of it in Lirael.
I immediately knew it was something for me. But do not expect to do little more than a hundred pages. In total, I do not like thin księżeczek, but I struggle with that thinking, because I like what that little party, it immediately to anything? It is known that crap.
History describes 40-year struggle of a widow who decides to open a small English town bookstore. Not just anywhere, because in an old house, and for this the one in which haunted.
Immediately after the opening has a few ideas for business development, begins to lead a library, but quickly realizes that the council can not alone. Seeking someone to help and gets her ten-year-resolute. And it made me fool. I thought it would be just another cool story about ujutna mieścinach provincial, in the style chocolates. Although the atmosphere seemed a little dark, but I thought that I'm rather dark inside and it casts a shadow on the perception. But no, in Fitzerald nothing, what would we osłodziło it what happens afterwards.

Because in this novel, nothing goes smoothly, fairly quickly begins kiełbasić a whole gives us a message rather a - there is no justice in this world, sometimes those who are mixed, those who wish us ill , win and nothing to be done.
From the beginning the novel I felt a strange tension, a quiet town like this, like the time goes slowly, but under the cover of September. Then, with the introduction of for-sale 'Lolita' Nabokov, who in his own way, it is the hero of this novel, it begins to happen in the lid and never gives up that refrain.
difficult to write about the content so that it does not betray too much to not spoil you the pleasure of reading. Many of you read in English. This book costs a buck online booksellers (info for those któzy not have access to library books with English-speaking), is also on the reader Googlowym. It is worth to read it, it's worth a moment 'zamieszakać' in Hardborough and find out what happened to the bookstore, which was there once opened.
most captivated me in this novel that she is not sentimental, it is not written as the heartless chronicler, Fitzgerald is economical with words, but he writes so that effortlessly creates the image and the community, and the same main bogaterki.
only 100 something pages, so much emotion, so much content and is great anger at the fact that life is not so simple that even in the books do not find solace. At the same time aware that this is a book so close to life, are also closer to us. For sure I will read her other novels too.

Best Parabolic Antennas

Admiral - dir. Andrei Kravchuk

O people. But I naczekałam for the movie. From the moment I read the pages of Russian, with the spin it until seeing. I only regret that I could not see at the cinema, because battle scenes at sea had to make an impression. Below
paste ang trailer with subtitles, but TU you can see in the Polish version


This is the story of the last years of life of Admiral Kolchak in the hopes that it will stop 'the red plague '. Had he succeeded, world history would turn out differently, I do not know whether it is better, However, whether the unrest would not have won (because of a hungry nation, however, it is difficult to discuss, as evidenced by a French Revolution), but maybe later, maybe more gently, perhaps not with Stalin at the helm? Gdybać hard now, one thing is certain, Kolchak it was a great figure in the history of Russia. Under communism was said of him as a traitor of the Russian people, now you can finally tell his story - about the heroic deeds during the two wars, that was a man of extremely versatile, with his charm and how to work on women, and the fact that it blotted dark night, and his companion spent in camps for over 30 years.
film made with a flourish, a fantastic scene at sea, and the fragments showing the private life in Tsarist Russia - romantic, shot in pastels. Beautiful woman, charismatic men, uniforms and long dresses in the background of war, unrest, evil lurks.



disappeared in this history is lost entirely. Chabieński Constantine is one of my favorite actors, as well as Biezrukow (the game where a brave comrade in the fight against the Red Army - General Kappel)






Both
sing fantastically well, they took part in a concert devoted to songs of Vysotsky, also sing in films, and the latter occurred, even with our young Polish actress who is now extremely popular in Russia.



the end, I watched and I am very pleased with it because it was not just a history lesson, but also like a fairy tale for adults. And now I'm sitting on the network and listen to Russian songs, I'm insane, I know.

Genital Warts Mucus Discharge

Super Freakonomics - Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner - Chmielewska "for economists

Publisher Mark is a great way to work with blogs - and send a list of books we choose. Sure you know, but some do not, because I do not have blogs. And this is the effect that this is the fact that when the little man will be delighted with the book, because it does not get the chance to review, but it chooses itself.
No, but I'm always into the wind, but I wanted terribly to read the position of a case of cannibalism in Russia (I hope nothing pokiełbasiłam) However, this proved to be a stronger call to address the topic of economics, and more specifically - Freakonomics.
Beloved, nothing clever to me in this matter will not hear, there will be no lecture, which is true, and what he does not agree, because I and economics are the two planets, in addition lying far apart. I can not help it, damn bored me thinking about the mechanisms of sale, investment, economic development, etc. Let this deal wiser, and I read, listen to music, flowers smell, the dog chase - live in ignorance of the economy as it does not try on a slipper.
About this item I heard a lot of good, actually about the first part, whether I wanted to buy it for the partner's daughter, a young financier, but it turned out that I have, read, and highly praised.
I saw the title of the second part of the list and ignite the rule, because I knew that only in such form as I manage something on this issue learn to get out of this state amebowatego and no longer be so stupid in this matter, but because it's a shame.
not disappointed. Super Freakonomics is for all - for who knew about - it will be great fun, for the layman - a great załapanie way, what these all mean. Of course it will not make us experts, economists, because it's not textbook, after all.

The Freakonomics authors raise such a broad spectrum of topics, it is difficult to find all the quote.
authors themselves say about their work like this:
"Presented here the stories are set in different landscapes, from the corridors of the closed little world of academic najpaskudniejszych corners of the streets. Many of them are based on the latest scientific research Levitt, others inspired by colleagues economists and engineers, astrophysicists, psychopathic killers, doctors call acute, amateur historians, neuroscientists and transsexuals. Most of these texts can be divided into two categories: always thought you know this, but I really do not know, I never thought that you want to know, but I really want and it very much. "
Did you know for example that development of civilization, urbanization in the nineteenth century, resulted in a serious problem that has been called by economists - the negative externalities? description of these problems would suggest that it is a car, and it really meant is that the little lacking, and the city zalałaby river horse dung and the people themselves completely stopped giving the advice, the amount of fertilizer beyond the means of disposal, so to speak, and here come the aid of automobile, later known as cars. These in turn have their own negative externalities, such as increased emissions of carbon dioxide, which results in finding other sources of energy and so on and so forth. Creative destruction. Progress rescues in one case, destroyed in the second. Without this bad, it's even worse. Or take the case
: Sharks-v-elephants. Here the authors show us the clash of the created image and narzucanego us, for example by the media, the truth, and statistics. Shark attacks a year are recorded more than 60, including four deaths, but the sharks in our consciousness are so horrifying that we have noticed this in the water, we are ready to break the record for fear of swimming speed of a hundred, or fall of a heart attack before they reach us. And elephants? It's such a lovable pet, and you have a trumpet on it pohuśtać have such a benevolent eyes ... which does not change the fact that they kill about 200 people annually. The authors of these examples (there are more), at the very beginning of his book, proving that it is important (and they do), relying on facts, figures, and not on opinions, emotional reactions, and heard anecdotal anomalies.
And just as in Hitchocka, starting with a thick tube, and then the voltage increases.
Interestingly enough, for good :-) feminists - women who work as specialists in their field, who have surrendered, for personal reasons and not for any scientific research, to be clear, sex-change operation, since men earned more and were more appreciated . We can also learn that despite appearances pimp for a prostitute can be 'added value' in a good sense.
Also interesting read about how it ever has in the emergency departments in hospitals, like trying to cope with postpartum fever (and what to do with this doctor), what was the history of the implementation of safety belts in cars, whether it is better to walk, or ride while intoxicated, and whether people are more selfish or altruistic, in some cases. It is interesting to also look at the terrorist attacks, including the September 11, from the point of view of numbers and economics. It's all served with zest and extremely interesting and entertaining way. I tell you I read with pencil in hand, and agape.
I imagine that if an economist wants to read 'your Chmielewska', it would be just super Freakonomics. Amused to zrelaksowałam, I learned many interesting things and understood some of these mechanisms. What more do want from a book of this kind? Great. I recommend with hand on heart.
Thank you for your suggestion publisher sign reading it.

South Park Origami Fortune Teller

Cheesy lostu - Hank Lemańska

did not want to read this book, because being in the error misleading, as Professor Gruchała used to say, I thought this is another production of a young writer for young readers. I will not wallow in lived here years, but I know that I got them two times more than 22, so you know - not for me. And to be clear, nothing I have to first or even second novel for young writers (nothing more than 'envy', that are young and they are writers :-), but what's too much, it's enough. It is rather a 'Whispers' theme attracted me :-)

got this book as a gift, put on the shelf and thought it would be for her daughter to find. Then I read that Hank Lemańska is born in 1959 and to the psychologist, so I thought why not give this book a chance? Then, later I saw a trailer for the series and I thought that if not now, never, because I will attack on TV shortcuts previous episodes, and messengers and so I will know the content. And the exams gave me a pretty hard time, not so much the quantity of material, how much stress, because you know it's old student once at the podium they want to find, and the brain no longer such a sponge, so be careful when zapodawać content, which would leak had not been, I thought that fate just giggles - without straining the coil.

You know what, this is a pretty cool piece of history. I feel a hunger, because the topic might be a little bit can held, more developed, more may be wordy, but on the other hand, do I know? Novels, which the man's guts wypruwają are many, but one that would in all treated in a funny way about adoption of children in difficult circumstances, is not met.
Who knows, maybe this is just a way of compelling content zapodam, but yes, but someone wanted to read about it. Themselves admit that people sometimes do not want.
wondered how such a curiosity in me, what happens when such a priori properly treated the subject as the bodies and trite. And yet turned over the pages eagerly, I wanted to know if this girl wants to throw himself into deep water, but does forgive and choose their former lives. Hey, I'm not so stupid and expect completion of the schematic, as in the romantic comedy, but on the other hand - Who does not like a good romantic comedy, so it may not trąbimy the whole world that I saw only love me, but still records the film broke the audience. Already I'm not talking about my najukochańszym 'You've Got Mail' (known as a bookstore, because Meg, because Tom and I am baba).
And so I flew through more than 200 pages as a storm, do not know when I finished and I felt pity.
consolation can film? Well, some do not like Żmuda-Trzebiatowski, but without exaggeration, I would not cling to it because I do not know why, so it may be that for its flawless beauty for równiutkie teeth, for a figure, or maybe its zawiszczę subconsciously? And, what the hell, he sat down to watch and no fireworks, but there are some kids I like them.


Total summarrum, as she would say from the beginning of a professor of English, but with a French 'r', a book I highly recommend for those seeking a break in a major lekturach, a series that's how they want to, you know some people like and others do not have a TV.
pity that Hank already Lemańska is dead and nothing more to write

PS The book is available on the Merlin for less than 3 gold
