The price you pay : the hidden cost of women's relationship to money - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We count objects. Half of the pictureswill go on your walls, your mother's potteryis yours. You will need a table, a few chairsand a bed. M y father's books are mine.We perform dispersion, we transplantour inherited goods, we arekings of extravagant calm, Solomonstrying to divide justly.But the weather is here. New snow crowdsour windows. The woodman came today.I sent him away. The last of our logs whistle.After the dead are dead,fingernails and hair keep growing. I waitnear whatever cannot be divided.— Jacqueline Frank

نویسندگان: خلاصه: he torch pierced the darknessThe torch slashed through the darknessThe torch beam sliced through the darkness like a swordThe torch beam darted – yes! – across the dark hall,illuminating a wondrous collection of antique curiosities.Finely illustrated tarot cards of wizened kings andlaughing fools . . . glistening Chinese lacquer boxes concealingspring traps and secret compartments . . . intricately carvedcups of wood and ivory designed for making coins andmarbles and even fingers disappear . . . shining silver ringsthat a knowing hand could link and unlink as if they weremade of air . . .A museum of magic.The circle of light lingered on a luminous crystal ball, asif waiting for some swirling image to appear on the surface.Then it hesitated on a large bronze lantern – once home,perhaps, to a powerful genie.Finally, the torch beam found its way to a glass displaycase sitting alone on top of a black pedestal in the middle ofthe room.‘Ha! At last!’ said a woman with a voice like ice.The man behind the torch snickered. ‘Who was it thatsaid the best place to hide something was in plain sight?What an idiot.’ His accent was odd, ominous.‘Just do it!’ hissed the woman.prologueGrasping the heavy torch tight in his gloved hand,the man brought it down like an axe.

The surface had ahoneycomb sort of texture comprised of many holes of varyingsizes. A thin band of silver circled the orb, dividing it into twoequal hemispheres.The woman pushed aside her white-blonde hair andheld the mysterious object to her perfectly shaped ear.

Dream When You're Feeling Blue - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: T WAS KITTY’S TURN TO SLEEP with her head at the foot of the bed. She didn’t mind; she preferred it, actually. She liked the mild disorientation that came from that position, and she liked the relative sense of privacy—her sisters’ feet in her face, yes, but not their eyes, not their ears, nor the close, damp sounds of their breathing. And at the foot of the bed she was safe from Louise, who often yanked mercilessly at people’s hair in her sleep. Tonight Kitty was last to bed, having been last in the bathroom. Everybody liked it when Kitty was last in the bathroom because, of the eight people living in the house, she always took the longest. Apart from the normal ablutions, she did things in there: affected poses she thought made her look even more like Rita Hayworth—she did look like Rita Hayworth, everyone said so. She filed her fingernails, she experimented with combining perfumes to make a new scent, she creamed her face, she used eyebrow pencil to make beauty marks above her lip. She also read magazines in the bathroom because there, no one read over her shoulder. Oh, somebody would bang on the door every time she was in there, somebody was always banging on the bathroom door, but a girl could get a lot done in a room with a locked door. Kitty could do more in five minutes in the bathroom than in thirty minutes anywhere else in the house, where everyone in the family felt it their right—their obligation!—to butt into everyone else’s business. When Kitty came out of the bathroom, she tiptoed into the bedroom, where it appeared her sisters were already asleep—Tish on her side with her knees drawn up tight, Louise with the covers flung off. Kitty crouched down by Louise and whispered her sister’s name. Kitty wanted to talk; she wasn’t ready to sleep yet. But Louise didn’t budge.

Body Image (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Most people would like to change something about their bod-ies and the way that they look, but for some people it isan obsession. A freckle, a mole, the size of their nose, the sym-metry of their ears, the size of their breasts, whatever the flaw orflaws, major or minor, real or misperceived, noticeable or not,they are life consuming for people with body dysmorphic disor-der (BDD).Sufferers of BDD may refuse to have their picture taken, stopgoing out with friends, quit going to school, stop going to work,refuse to leave home altogether, and even attempt suicide. Theymay have multiple plastic surgeries or just spend literally hours aday looking at, trying to cover up, measuring, and thinking abouttheir perceived defect. No amount of reassurance will comfortthem.Body integrity identity disorder (BIID) is a unique type ofBDD. Sometimes called “amputee wannabees,” sufferers feelthat they will not be themselves until a certain limb or limbsare amputated. Driven to desperation, some have taken it uponthemselves to remove their own limbs or have damaged them byfreezing them so that they have to be amputated. Once the limbsare gone, they feel whole.While people with BIID are desperate to remove something,others feel compelled, or just want, to add something. Bodymodification can range from the tame to the extreme. Multipletattoos, multiple piercings, and piercings in every part of thebody imaginable are becoming more common and more cultur-ally acceptable. Some people go to greater extremes with thingslike tattoos covering their entire bodies, sewing beads into theirskin, branding (burning a permanent scar), eyeball tattooing,eyeball jewelry, tooth filing, tongue splitting, ear pointing orshaping, and 3-D body modification such as horn implanting
Love You More - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Who do you love?It‟s a question anyone should be able to answer. A question that defines a life, creates afuture, guides most minutes of one‟s days. Simple, elegant, encompassing.Who do you love?He asked the question, and I felt the answer in the weight of my duty belt, the constrictiveconfines of my armored vest, the tight brim of my trooper‟s hat, pulled low over my brow. Ireached down slowly, my fingers just brushing the top of my Sig Sauer, holstered at my hip.“Who do you love?” he cried again, louder now, more insistent.My fingers bypassed my state-issued weapon, finding the black leather keeper that heldmy duty belt to my waist. The Velcro rasped loudly as I unfastened the first band, then thesecond, third, fourth. I worked the metal buckle, then my twenty pound duty belt, complete withmy sidearm, Taser, and collapsible steel baton released from my waist and dangled in the spacebetween us.“Don‟t do this,” I whispered, one last shot at reason.He merely smiled. “Too little, too late.”“Where‟s Sophie? What did you do?”“Belt. On the table. Now.”“No.”“GUN. On the table. NOW!”In response, I widened my stance, squaring off in the middle of the kitchen, duty belt stillsuspended from my left hand. Four years of my life, patrolling the highways of Massachusetts,swearing to defend and protect. I had training and experience on my side.I could go for my gun. Commit to the act, grab the Sig Sauer, and start shooting.Sig Sauer was holstered at an awkward angle that would cost me precious seconds. Hewas watching, waiting for any sudden movement. Failure would be firmly and terribly punished.Who do you love?He was right. That‟s what it came down to in the end. Who did you love and how muchwould you risk for them?“GUN!” he boomed. “Now, dammit!”I thought of my six-year-old daughter, the scent of her hair, the feel of her skinny armswrapped tight around my neck, the sound of her voice as I tucked her in bed each night. “Loveyou, Mommy,” she always whispered.Love you, too, baby. Love you.His arm moved, first tentative stretch for the suspended duty belt, my holstered weapon.One last chance …I looked my husband in the eye. A single heartbeat of time.Who do you love?I made my decision. I set down my trooper‟s belt on the kitchen table.And he grabbed my Sig Sauer and opened fire.
