A Sure Test 🪶

“Ah, ah, don't get up! Casper, how many times have I told you… you're my guest. Please, let me clear the table.” 

We'd been together for over a year, but nothing, it seemed, could dissuade Avery from doting on me. Back at my apartment I could occasionally convince him to relent, but never in his lighthouse. I smiled sheepishly as he took our plates to the sink, humming as he began to hand-wash them. 

Relaxing in the wooden chair, I turned my attention toward the springline window. As it ascended toward noon, a sweltering summer sun cast a shaft of white light into the kitchen, sending it dancing across wooden cabinetry and ceramic tile, passing translucently through Avery's bare limbs. I watched him quietly; even doing chores, he looked neat and dignified. 

“Hey, Avery?” I spoke over the clattering dishes. 

“Yes, dear.” 

“How can I be more like you?”

“What do you mean, like me?”

“You know… like, fancy, like you. Like, how you always seem put-together, or whatever… a gentleman.” 

He turned the sink off, turning to face me as he dried a plate with a strawberry-print towel. Grinning curiously, he leaned back against the counter. 

“What do you think makes someone a gentleman?” He asked. 

I thought for a moment. 

“Well… I guess, knowing how to dress… knowing what to say, like you always do… like, how you always seem so natural and relaxed…” My eyes traced the gray thinset dividing the pristine floor tiles. 

He set the plate down, standing before me in two Avery-sized steps. 

“Casper… being a gentleman isn't about clothing, demeanor, or even eloquence of speech – it's about integrity, kindness, and a bit of confidence; that's all. And for all that I may seem,” he tilted my chin up with a fingertip, “I am not all of those things, all of the time. Nobody is… Nobody can be. You may not be like me, but in the ways that matter, love… You are a gentleman.” 

I blushed, smiling a bit as I looked away from his pale, gentle eyes. He really did always know just what to say. Avery returned to the counter, resuming drying the dishes and putting them away. After a while, he spoke again. 

“If you're still unsatisfied, though… In terms of being a gentleman, there is a sure test…” 

I looked up, brow furrowed. 

“A test? What kind of test?” 

Avery folded his hands behind his back, a sly spark in his eye that I caught way too late. 

He cleared his throat ceremoniously.

Sapere Aude - Emily Prentiss x Siobhán Quinn snippet

VIRGINIA 2012. 

EMILY PRENTISS

"… We dahn't know dat yet."

Emily's eyes whizzed over towards the furthest floor-to-ceiling springline window that was in the north-east corner of the room where the redhead she had sought out stood with her back to her, hair unbound in its gloriously fiery tresses in a way that exposed her elegant snowy neck. She watched her carefully, studying the way her brow furrowed as she tried to mentally work through something with whoever she was speaking on the phone with.

Pressed against the furthest wall, Siobhán's hourglass figure was almost illuminated in the fading sun's rays; they had not long returned from Los Angeles, and whilst the rest of the team seemed to show their exhaustion, Siobhán was immaculately pulled together as she had always been - the black-coated denim jeans she wore were close-fitting, her leather belt notched more tightly than it ought to be so they sat higher on her abdomen and her silk v-neck blouse, rich emerald, billowed around her shoulders to caress her torso prettily - she displayed no sign of fatigue or obvious weariness, unlike her counterparts.

Leaning, her deltoid was squeezed against the wall to her right as her hands idly played with the burgundy drapes that teased over the window halfway, tugging it across slightly.

Sensing that she was no longer alone in her office, Siobhán inclined her head in Emily's direction to acknowledge her; their eyes briefly met for a moment and that was enough to make Emily freeze on the spot, the subtle reaction of surprise making Emily feel like she was trespassing somewhere she wasn't wanted.

Letting out a low sigh, Siobhán turned away again so that she was facing the window once more but Emily was still able to catch her words perfectly all the same as she said them: "I've gaht to go, joehst keep in tooehch."

Her brows perked at the words and their ominous meaning... Who was she talking to?

With that, Siobhán ended the call and slid her phone down into her pocket. She watched as she squared her shoulders, composing herself. They had both previously been undercover agents against Doyle's faction but she had always considered Siobhán's as holding much more danger than her own being a daughter to one of the figureheads - her father having strongly believed that she had enrolled into the marines to gain favour before infiltrating SIS on their behalf after she was head-hunted - which hadn't ever been the case.

Emily faltered when the redhead finally wheeled around, the exhaustion and desperation alive in her eyes. She could see that for Siobhán, whatever had been discussed on the phone moments before, wasn't just some other elusive unsub or international case she had known before.

"What'd yer want?" Siobhán posed, almost fighting to keep her tone even.

"Can I come in?"

The redhead raised an eyebrow as if to silently ask, haven't you already? "Now really isn't a good time," Siobhán decided instead in an eerily detached voice, choosing her words carefully as she moved leisurely to slump back against the wall, her eyes never leaving Emily.

Emily tilted her head and looked into Siobhán's eyes. "Is everything alright?" she questioned softly, stepping further into the office despite Siobhán having told her mere moments before not to - even if it hadn't been in those exact words.

The redhead didn't move from her place where she stood at the window, her verdant orbs boring into her as she held her gaze firmly. She didn't miss her arms folding neatly across her chest as they came up, a defense mechanism to keep her at arm's length. "Why wooehldn't it be?" Siobhán countered, shrugging.

"Tell me how I can help," Emily pressed softly.

Siobhán rolled her head slowly in a circle to stretch some of the tension that had settled in her neck. "Yer can't."

The FDA has issued a nationwide recall hitting over 140 canned coffee brands - Journal Today Online - #GLOBAL https://www.merchant-business.com/the-fda-has-issued-a-nationwide-recall-hitting-over-140-canned-coffee-brands/?feed_id=58328&_unique_id=667ced3149bc2 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a national recall of certain coffee products over the risk of a potentially deadly contamination.Suggested ReadingApple has fixed multiple security issues with its devices this yearSuggested ReadingSnapchill, a Green Bay, Wisconsin-based coffee manufacturer, recalled all of its canned coffee products due to the potential presence of Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can produce a fatal neurotoxin.Nearly 300 canned coffee products from 147 brands are affected. The products range in sizes from 7oz to 12oz cans and have been distributed nationwide at retail stores and online.The FDA said that Snapchill’s current manufacturing process could lead to the growth of botulinum toxin. The toxin, if ingested, can cause a rare form of food poison with symptoms that include general weakness, dizziness, double-vision, trouble speaking or swallowing, difficulty breathing, and constipation. Symptoms can appear from six hours to two weeks after someone eats food containing botulinum toxin.The FDA warned consumers experiencing these symptoms to seek immediate medical attention.So far no illnesses have been reported and Snapchill has said it’s unaware of any cases of their products actually containing botulinum toxin. The company is currently working with the agency to clear its manufacturing process.The FDA recommends consumers who have recalled products to destroy them or return them for a full refund.This summer, the FDA also issued a recall of several ice cream brands.Here are the 147 coffee brands hit by the recall41 & ChangeAlchemy RoastingAmavida Baba Java Coffee Bent Tree CoffeeBig IronBig Mouth Coffee Big ShouldersBKG Black Acres Black Nerd Blind Bold BeanBolt Coffee BorealisBrandywine BRL Broadsheet Burwell Cafe AmmiCape Cod Coffee Carrier Cerberus Coffee Coffee Hound Coffee N Clothes Coffee Project NY Color Coffee Connect Coffee Copper Horse Coterie Coffee Crankshaft Coffee Cup to CupDave’s CoffeeDayglowDaysol CoffeeDead SledDoughnut Plant Downeast CoffeeDreamy Driply East End Eclipse Coffee Roasters Electro Brew Coffee Co.

Warlike mycenaean art

A large grave site, known as Grave Circle A, is also built within the walls. Inside the walls are various rooms for administration and storage along with palace quarters, living spaces, and temples. The site’s megaron sits on the highest part of the acropolis and is reached through a large staircase. It overlooks the Argos plain on the Peloponnesian peninsula, and according to Greek mythology was the home to King Agamemnon. The citadel site of Mycenae was the center of Mycenaean culture. Deep water wells, storage rooms, and open space for livestock and additional citizens allowed a city to access basic needs while being protected during times of war. Since citadels had to protect the area’s people in times of warfare, the sites were equipped for sieges. Entrance to the site was through one or two large gates, and the pathway into the main part of the citadel was often controlled by more gates or narrow passageways. In addition to thick walls, the sites were protected by controlled access. The architectural plan of the megaron became the basic shape of Greek temples, demonstrating the cultural shift as the gods of ancient Greece took the place of the Mycenaean rulers.Ĭitadel sites were protected from invasion through natural and man-made fortification. It contained a more or less central open hearth, which was vented though an oculus in the roof above it and surrounded by four columns. The megaron was a rectangular hall, fronted by an open, two-columned porch. Mycenaean citadel sites were centered around the megaron, a reception area for the king. The corbel arch was often used by the Mycenaeans in conjunction with a relieving triangle, which was a triangular block of stone that fit into the recess of the corbeled arch and helped to redistribute weight from the lintel to the supporting walls. The corbel arch is constructed by offsetting successive courses of stone (or brick) at the springline of the walls so that they project towards the archway’s center from each supporting side, until the courses meet at the apex of the archway (often, the last gap is bridged with a flat stone). Therefore, a corbeled (or corbel) arch is employed over doorways to relieve the weight on the lintel. A typical post and lintel structure is not strong enough to support the heavy structures built above it. The Mycenaeans also relied on new techniques of building to create supportive archways and vaults. Corbel ArchĬorbeled vault, Tiryns: This photo shows the offsetting successive courses of stone at the springline of the walls so that they project towards the archway’s center from each supporting side, until the courses meet at the apex of the archway. The thick Cyclopean walls reflect a need for protection and self-defense since these walls often encircled the citadel site and the acropolis on which the site was located. Due to this ancient belief, the use of large, roughly cut, ashlar blocks in building is referred to as Cyclopean masonry. The blocks were considered too large to be moved by humans and were believed by ancient Greeks to have been erected by the Cyclopes-one-eyed giants. The walls of Mycenaean citadel sites were often built with ashlar and massive stone blocks. The citadels vary from city to city but each share common attributes, including building techniques and architectural features. The Mycenaeans populated Greece and built citadels on high, rocky outcroppings that provided natural fortification and overlooked the plains used for farming and raising livestock. Mycenaean culture can be summarized by its architecture, whose remains demonstrate the Mycenaeans’ war-like culture and the dominance of citadel sites ruled by a single ruler. The art and architecture of Mycenaean citadel sites reflects the society’s war-like culture and its constant need for protection and fortification.

Showcasing on weekend is my test shoe from @a.meccariello to refine the fit for my final shoe. After many months of wearing them, there are some minor adjustment to be made. Feedback have been made to the maestro and hopefully the final shoe will be perfect in fit. P.S although they are test shoe, they are actually a pair of working shoe and finishing is good. I am merely enhancing them 😁😉 #meccariello #antoniomeccariello #testshoe #aeris #bespoke #pin #LodgeofStrangeAfeminates #menswear #menstyle #menshoe #sartorial #shoeporn #shoeaddict #shoegazing #shoegazingblog #nofilter #springline https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1FRtbnK1R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9gewuy0xzd2
