Cashman has no choice but to keep Girardi . He is already on thin ice in New York, much more so than Joe is. If he lets him walk, who knows the consequences.
Report: Yankees have made a contract offer to Joe Girardi
The New York Yankees have offered a new contract to manager Joe Girardi, according to the Associated Press.
Girardi and his agent have each met with Yankees' GM Brian Cashman this week about extending the skippers tenure with the team. Girardi's three year, $9 million contract with New York is set to expire at the end of this month, and his free agency has drawn interest from the Cubs and Nationals.
The specifics of the offer are not known, but on Tuesday Cashman told reporters "we're going to give him a real good reason to stay."

Cashman has no choice but to keep Girardi . He is already on thin ice in New York, much more so than Joe is. If he lets him walk, who knows the consequences.
time to go home Joe......1 WS in 6 years doesn't cut it around here
Since the Yankees are about to get a lot younger, and Girardi is at his best molding younger players, this is kind of a no brainer.
Yep, Cashman, Girardi could rival Houdini for the masterful performances he delivered the last two years, stealing relative success from the jaws of disaster, while covering Yankee management's butt! Speaking of management, Cashman, what have you done lately? You better dig real deep Cashman to keep this man! This is all coming from someone that had reservations about Girardi's initial selection. Girardi has earned the respect (and the bucks) from everyone that witnessed his magnificent performances. Take my hat off to you, Joe, you are a Pinstripe through and through! You certainly know your ballplayers and squeezed everything out of everyone left standing (to limp onto the field)!

Such a nice restaurant. So sorry
to hear it is closing in 2 weeks. I understand it was purchased and will remain a restaurant under new ownership."

This is my 5th visit to Dragonfly.
The flank steak appetizer is great fun for the kids. I loved my plantain crusted Sole entree. They are very family friendly."
Dined on 3/7/2014
We loved the food and the
ambience!!! Sadly we were late for our reservation and were told that we would have to keep our dinner under an hour and 15 minutes. This was somewhat understandable, but the host was very rude about letting us know when it was time to pay our bill & not order dessert. Our server was sweet though and gave us some dessert to take home. The host & some of the staff need to go back to deportment & restaurant school! Our empty dishes stayed in the table for too long in between courses & the restaurant should invest in some smaller tea cups that are better suited to green or jasmine tea. Thank goodness for the food!! : )"
Dined on 2/22/2014
This was our first visit to
Dragonfly, but we will definitely be making this a regular stop whenever we're in the Truckee/Tahoe area. Everything we ordered was delicious. We started with a Beet and Satsuma orange with goat cheese small plate, then had the winter squash soup, which that night was made with Blue Banana squash. For my entree, I had the plantain and panko encrusted Pacific Sole with a banana curry sauce, and wow, I absolutely loved that dish. My dining partners had the Asian cioppino and the roast duck breast, and they were both pleased with their entrees as well. It's a bit expensive, but worth the splurge. My only disappointment was that I didn't save room for dessert!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
We had a 6:15 reservation for
seven including two kids. Waitress asked for a drink order, but had not provided the drink menu, then disappeared for 20 minutes before coming to take our order. Food did not start arriving for at least a half hour, including the kids' cold sushi orders. Most of the food arrived at least 20 minutes before the final two entrees. The entire dinner took two hours! Waitress asked how we were doing twice as she walked by and didn't listen for a response. Food was decent, but too expensive for such poor service."

The food is a special, flavorful,
balanced, ingenious, delicious delight. We have been twice and ordered an assortment each visit. Every item was delicious. The cocktails and sake are excellent to and you can find a pairing easily. The wait staff is well informed pleasant and engaging. Go willing to solicit and accept recommendations you will not be disappointed. Dragonfly let's nothing out of the kitchen that is less than fantastic."

I would call it Sushi plus, which
is perfect for my wife and me... Since I love sushi and she only tolerates it. Great steak options, very cool tahoe style decor. I'm looking forward to going back in summer they have a very nice outdoor patio overlooking the town that was closed for the winter. I highly recommend it. PS. If you like beef, you have to try the sizzling flank steak. It's cooked in sushi size strips at your table on a 500 degree rock."

Delicious food, always great
service & so reasonably priced. Certainly a fav in truckee!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
A nice addition in Truckee. Good
food with some specials and interesting takes. But the service is chaotic and lacking. Needs tighter management and staff training as well as kitchen coordination. Trendy, fun interior with artwork for sale was nice. Waiting at the bar was a nice option."

The food was really decent - wild
boar tasty with interesting side dishes. Brussels sprout appetizer was great and group liked lettuce wrap appetizer. I've enjoyed great noodle bowls here at lunch. Service great. Not busy. Enjoyed our meal!"
Dined on 1/29/2014
There were four of us ladies for
lunch. Two of us ordered sandwiches, one ordered a salad and I ordered pho. The sandwiches were beautiful and came w two side salads. The salad alone was beautiful but not all too filling and my pho was beautifully presented but I left still hungry. I'd return but ony for a sandwich. Oh, and $5 for a cup of tea?!? I don't care how fancy the carafe is. Just give me a bag of quality tea w some hot water and keep filling the hot water! Just silly."
Dined on 1/25/2014
We had a great lunch with very
good service. Pad Thai was yummy!"
Dined on 1/18/2014
We tried Dragonfly for the first
time on Friday evening. We had heard good reviews from friends. My wife and I and our two boys had a great experience there - friendly staff, good service and excellent food. We wanted to try everything on the menu as it all looked great. We will be back again very soon."
Dined on 1/10/2014
You can eat on the patio when
warm- not now! We go there for sushi and it is great. Fun to eat at the sushi bar, good rolls, or try the hot rock if people want cooked food."
Dined on 10/5/2013
I was excited to try Dragonfly,
I've only heard great things and my experience was beyond expectations. Arrived 30 min early to have a cocktail in the bar. Kudos to the bartender friendly and professional and only uses fresh lime juice in the margaritas. The host and waitress were great also setting the stage for the evening and the food was superb, creative and delicious. I started with the vegan such soup. Unbelievably good and I'm not a vegan. Noodle bowl is great as well."
Dined on 11/29/2013
Great food. Half price December is
a good draw. Service was friendly however, they need some training."
Dined on 11/26/2013
Amazing well-crafted food with an
Asian influence. Awesome sushi!!"
Dined on 11/12/2013
We've eaten here many times, but
Saturday nite's dinner was the best. We were five in our party, including a toddler. Our server brought several items for the toddler not on the menu, but which made her happy. In lieu of entrees, we decided to try most of the social plates and several sushi's. Three of us had the smoked trout Ceasar salad. Everything was wonderful. The Thai Cosmo and cucumber gimblets were outstanding, as always. Dragonfly's high quality did not change a bit, even with the November half-price special."
Dined on 11/9/2013
Went for dinner on Friday and had
a great time. Food was excellent as always. Service was on the slow side. But it was locals night and the place was packed. They should staff a little better for that. But overall had a great time."
Dined on 11/1/2013
Food was underwhelming. The photos
looked amazing but alas was not impressed. Will most likely not done here again."

Top Twitter Moms of 2011
After spending part of 2007 watching everyone "do" this new "tweeting thingy," I logged on as @ToThink in early 2008. And I became a pure Twitter lover, valuing relationships, engagement, sharing, and - yes - information and brand involvement. In my attempt to view it all from the standpoint of value, influence, and epic-ness...well, something happened I didn't quite expect: I became more and more proud of not only how moms are using Twitter, but how we're building businesses (even careers!) with it and have become basically unstoppable. I wanted to high-five (even if that's dorky) every last one of us.
This year we've given 2010's Top 50 Twitter Moms somewhat of an "emeritus" status. You won't find any of them on this list. Why? Not because they've lost influence or aren't just as amazing - they still are. We just decided to spread the love this year and share even more influential moms, who you may or may not already know.
Of course, many didn't make this list simply because there are so many mothers on Twitter doing their thing and being awesome. So if we missed her, be sure to nominate your favorite Twitter mom here! The Top 50 are ranked by amount of followers, so consider them the entirety of The Awesome, and check out the individual categories for a more specific ranking. Congrats to everyone! - Arianne Segerman

The Remnant is a student-operated radio station serving the student body. As a part of the Electronic Media Communication program , The Remnant provides practical experience in the operation of a radio station and is a source of good radio programming for resident students. Participation in student radio is open to all students, regardless of academic program.
Mission Statement
The Remnant exists first to glorify Christ in all that they do, then to serve the campus of University of Northwestern and encourage listeners and classmates in their faith while seeking to excel in our pursuit of professional radio skills through the power of Christ.
Core Values
The Remnant wants students to become passionate for Christ and passionate for radio. The main thing to remember is not to worry about mistakes. The Remnant is the time to FAIL MISERABLY! Be strong and courageous and feel His good pleasure. Prepare your show and go for it. The Remnant is not about being perfect, it's about relying on the One who is.
Broadcasting with the Power of a Toaster!
Because The Remnant is an unlicensed radio station, it is only given about 1 Watt of power (which isn't a whole lot). The weak signal allowed the creation of the slogan "Broadcasting with the Power of a Toaster", even though a toaster actually uses about 800 Watts of power. Imagine how far The Remnant could broadcast with the actual power of a toaster!
Though, because of the weak signal, The Remnant utilizes the internet to spread its message. So in a sense, it's broadcasting all over the world but only halfway across campus!

Stubborn as ever, Frank Beamer stressed the upside. An offense that finally showed a pulse. A freshman tailback who ran powerfully. A defense that held valiantly — until …
Maybe he's trying to convince himself. Maybe he's trying to convince fans and, most important, players that this season, like 1995, 2008 and 2010, can be salvaged after devastating defeat.
Good luck with that.

Fedex Way, FedExField, Hyattsville, MD 20785, USA
Beamer's Virginia Tech football team hit crisis mode Saturday with a 27-24 loss to Cincinnati at FedEx Field.
Per their 2012 MO, the Hokies staggered for a half on offense, untenable against an above-average opponent. Then the defense, with the game in the balance, collapsed, allowing 214 fourth-quarter yards.
"It hurts, man," linebacker Bruce Taylor said. "Deep."
Bet it does.
Tech had this one pilfered when Logan Thomas connected with Corey Fuller on a 56-yard touchdown pass with 1:49 remaining. The Hokies led by four, and the Bearcats had no timeouts.
As he did in the opener against Georgia Tech, Thomas appeared to have rescued Virginia Tech.
Nine plays and 85 yards later, with 13 seconds left, Cincinnati was celebrating the decisive touchdown, a 39-yard go-route from Munchie Legaux to Damon Julian, who got behind All-ACC cornerback Kyle Fuller and made a circus catch in the end zone.
"I thought we had it a couple of times," Beamer said.
The first time was when Michael Holmes' 3-yard run gave the Hokies a 17-13 lead midway through the fourth quarter. An offense that generated 72 yards and two first downs in a putrid first half was humming, and the defense was smothering.
That lasted all of 46 seconds. Legaux hit Ralph Abernathy IV on a wheel route — freshman nickel back Michael Cole missed the coverage — and Antone Exum whiffed on an open-field tackle at the 50, capping a grim day for him that included four major penalties.
Still, this from Beamer: "There's some positive things that came out of this. Just a tough way to lose."
Beamer also harped on the ACC schedule ahead, on how the Hokies (3-2, 1-0) can learn from non-conferences losses to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati and return to the league title game.
Tech rebounded similarly in 2008 and '10. In 1995, the Hokies overcame an 0-2 start to win the Big East and Sugar Bowl.
These Hokies don't appear nearly as equipped on the offensive line. Their tackling is surprisingly weak, though Saturday wasn't nearly as bad as at Pitt. And their all-conference quarterback, Thomas, is struggling.
Thomas carries additional burdens this season without the likes of tailback David Wilson and receivers Danny Coale and Jarrett Boykin. But that doesn't fully explain his regression.
More than once Saturday Thomas misread coverages and failed to spot an open Marcus Davis. The Hokies' leading receiver didn't hide his frustration.
"I was so into the game, it was kind of getting to me," Davis said. "At the time, I was a little upset."

Stocks erased their earlier losses to eke out small gains Friday, with the Dow squeezing out its fifth-consecutive weekly rally, as investors digested the latest batch of mixed earnings reports and ahead of a busy economic calendar next week.
(Read more: JPMorgan raises ceiling on Wall Street's year-end forecasts)
The Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered to finish up 3.22 points, to close at 15,558.83, led by Travelers and Intel. The blue-chip index plunged nearly 150 points at its session low.
The S&P 500 squeezed out a gain of 1.40 points to end at 1,691.65. And the Nasdaq added 7.98 points to close at 3,613.16. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, finished below 13.
For the week, the Dow eked out a gain of 0.10 percent, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.03 percent to cap its first weekly loss in five weeks. The Nasdaq posted a weekly gain of 0.71 percent. Hewlett-Packard was the best weekly performer on the Dow, while Caterpillar sagged.
"The market's had a good run near the highs and with earnings season about halfway through, we characterize the results so far as being lackluster to just OK," said Cam Albright, director of asset allocation at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors. "As the year progresses, we're expecting the economy to start coming out of some of the doldrums from the fiscal impediments from earlier in the year—so we're expecting a better second half and that should help support the market and provide us with the basis to have prices move forward."
(Read more: S&P 500 ready for another pullback?)
On the economic front, consumer sentiment rose to its highest level in six years, with the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final reading on the overall index climbing to 85.1 in July from 84.1 in June. Economists surveyed by Reuters expected a reading of 84.
"This high level of confidence points toward a continued expansion of consumer spending in the year ahead," survey director Richard Curtin said in a statement.
But investors initially shrugged off the positive data, with the Dow plunging nearly 150 points soon after the report.
"With the Fed meeting and non-farm payrolls due next week, there will be plenty of news to move the market in the week ahead," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor. "U.S. data has been more mixed in recent weeks, suggesting that next Friday's employment report may not be as good as recent months, in part because the housing market does look to have softened in light of higher interest rates."
Separately, a White House official said President Obama will not likely announce a decision about who will lead the Federal Reserve until the fall. Current Chairman Ben Bernanke's term expires next January.

Among earnings, Amazon.com declined after the Internet retail giant reported an unexpected loss and issued a cautious current-quarter forecast as it continues to invest in new areas like cloud computing services. At least three brokerages raised their price targets on the company.
Starbucks rallied after the coffeehouse chain topped earnings expectations and also forecast current-quarter profit above Street consensus. The company also boosted its full-year guidance as its new menu offerings helped drive customer traffic. At least two brokerages lifted their price targets on the company.
Zynga plunged more than 20 percent after the social video game maker handed in current-quarter guidance that widely missed forecasts. In addition, the company said it has decided not to pursue a license for real money gambling in the U.S. At least two brokerages slashed their price targets on the firm.
Expedia dropped sharply after the travel website posted quarterly results that disappointed analysts. At least two brokerages lowered their price targets on the firm.
More than 50 percent of S&P 500 companies have reported results so far this quarter, with 68 percent of firms topping earnings expectations and 56 percent beating revenue estimates, according to data from Thomson Reuters. If all remaining companies report earnings in line with estimates, earnings will be up 4.1 percent from last year's second quarter.
Activision Blizzard surged after the videogame publisher said it will buy back nearly $8.2 billion worth of Vivendi's holding in the company.
Japan's Nikkei tumbled to its lowest level in nearly three weeks, as the yen strengthened against the dollar, following an inflation report.
"They looked good with the headline number, but when you dig down and take energy out, they were deflationary again," said Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS Financial Services. "That spooked the Japanese market and the yen spiked against the dollar."

I have very sensitive, combination skin. I have a very hard time finding something that will work on my skin yet not cause breakouts. This stuff is amazing!!!! I love the way my skin feels afterwards!!!
I didn't notice any difference when using this mask. It was very gooey and was hard to keep on my face. On the plus side it didn't have an odor that made it hard to keep on and breathe.
These masks were very handy over the long, dry winter. There is an ample amount of serum in the package, and the masks adequately cover all areas of the face. Great scent, and my face really did look and feel well hydrated after just 20 minutes. My daughter and I had a spa night, and the masks really topped off the beauty treatment.
A Very good moisturizer. Would purchase it again. Great to put in travel bag and use after a long day of traveling. Felt like a spa treatment.
Made my face feel so soft and hydrated after use!! Love it!! Would recommend to everyone to use at least monthly.
I found the concept and process of applying the mask intriguing. Unfortunately I found it to be uncomfortable as the eyes/mouth cutouts did not fit my face shape at all.
Additionally, the mask did not hydrate my skin as expected. It was quite greasy but for some reason my skin wouldn't absorb the moisture.
The scent was bland. Disappointed with this mask.
This is the best hydrating mask I have come across. It looks a little slice of the lambs, while it is on, but your face feels great after and stays that way for days.
i really enjoyed my sample of this product. it made my skin feel super soft. i puchased this right after i used my sample. thanks.
I was extremely skeptical when I took this out of the package. I couldn't possibly imagine that this face mask could make a difference. I WAS WRONG. It is a little tricky to get on, (and the hubby made a joke about my appearance) but after a cool 20 minutes of cooling and tingling, I took the mask off and saw IMMEDIATELY that it had done wonders to my skin! My pores were shrunk, my face felt soft and refreshed, redness was gone. I am a believer!
This mask left my skin feeling extra soft and smooth. The product came with a lot of extra liquid but that can be used to moisturize your neck as well as your face. The one con was that the mask slipped off my face quite a bit.

Hi everyone I just started cosplaying in the beginning of the 2008. However I have been a big fan of cosplay ever since my first con, Fanime '04, but I didn't have a sewing machine. So it took four years to finally get one and I have been sewing every since, hopefully getting better each time I use it. I hope to meet new people and hopefully make or join a group. Nice to meet everyone.

South Kensington, known as the French Quarter of London, is home to the elegant Pelham Hotel. Renowned interior designer Kit Kemp has translated English country-house style into smart city living. Entering the lobby will feel as though you have just walked into your own private London residence, wrapped in style, elegance, and design. In the drawing room, complete with a luxuriously stocked honesty bar, and in the library, guests can unwind in front of period fireplaces that crackle well into the night. With three event rooms, including a private dining room, it's a great place to party, meet, or dine for up to 35 guests. Bar and Bistro Fifteen, with direct street access, is where well-heeled locals mix with in-house guests: from the elite Chelsea crowds to the French consulate and Italian designers. It's the ultimate relaxed bistro, where the French European food speaks for itself.
The Pelham's white stucco exterior oozes Georgian style in the heart of vibrant South Kensington. A small white portico ushers guests into this distinctive Regency terrace house whose interior is richly ornamented using fine details such as tailored fabrics and original artworks from head to toe. Guestrooms at The Pelham Hotel vary according to their architectural specifics – the interior design of the attic spaces manages to deal well with the sloped ceilings, whereas the two ground floor rooms simply present their given assets of floor to ceiling windows that slide open leading on to balconies beyond.
Guestrooms offer deliciously welcoming warmth and light, along with playful quirks of the finest quality. Rooms are individual creations, each drawing on the character of antiques, a private art collection and the designer's passion for experimenting with color. Fabrics are key with distinct and bold patterns playing off against one another: it's a rare thing to find a window drape matching the bedspread.
On entering The Pelham's drawing room, a mix of pinewood panelling, yellow chintz soft furnishings and Victorian and Edwardian antiques creates a cozy and eclectic atmosphere. The library is done in mahogany and, like the drawing room, boasts a period fireplace.

An oasis in London
This weekend is a bank holiday in the UK, so we get Monday as an extra day off. Wonderful I hear you say, and it would be but we have a big black cloud hovering over us, literally. We Brits welcome these holidays with an air of cynicism, because despite all our excitement and preparation for making the most of the 3 days, it is always marred by a bloody great downpour.
So with this in mind, I shall be spending my Sunday in an undercover shopping mall with my dearest girlfriends as we are shopping for our birthday friendship bracelets from each other at Links. The rest of the time I will be cooped up inside, perhaps making a start on making the pelmet destined for my living room window. I've had the fabric for sometime, I just need to motivate myself and get cracking.
At dank times like this, an awe inspiring garden is the perfect antidote. Here's fashion designer Ben de Lisi's London garden, all mediterranean and a perfect example of bringing the inside outside. What a cosy, enveloping little sun trap. The whitewashed timber and big statement planting was created by his partner Gerardo who runs The Chelsea Gardener (aparently). Personally, it could do with a few shots of colour with some fancy blooms but, as I say, that's just a personal thing.
Have a happy weekend lovelies, I hope you have a fun filled one x

The Illinois Tollway is launching a mobile website Monday designed for I-PASS users, a move that officials say should help reduce account-related violations and administrative costs.
The tollway isn't the first toll road system in the United States to provide mobile access to customers who pay their tolls automatically using in-vehicle transponders.
But officials say the I-PASS mobile website is expected to provide a new resource to help reduce account mismanagement by customers.
Failing to keep accounts up to date is the leading cause of toll violations among I-PASS users, officials said. They said one of the most common issues is customers neglecting to add new vehicles to their accounts.
The tollway issued about 1.3 million first-violation notices in the past 12 months, records show, and more than 40 percent of the notices went to I-PASS customers — nearly all of whom presumed their tolls were being paid seamlessly, until they received a surprise letter and penalty in the mail from the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.
"If an I-PASS customer is getting a violation, it usually is due to an account issue or the account was mismanaged," tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur said.
Reasons for account problems include expired credit cards and outdated vehicle license plate information linked to the account, officials said, adding that it is the customers' responsibility to keep their I-PASS accounts in good standing. Account balances and other details can be viewed and updated at http://www.illinoistollway.com under the "Manage Account" link.
The growth of smartphone and tablet use has helped widen access to I-PASS accounts, officials said. But until now it hasn't been easy to use the tollway website from devices other than traditional personal computers or laptops, because the content on the regular website is not scaled for small-screen formats.
The mobile website can be accessed at http://www.illinoistollway.com and by clicking on the "Mobile I-PASS Management" icon, officials said.
Smartphone and mobile-device users can save the link to their home screen by downloading the icon, for future access in one click. BlackBerry users can bookmark the link.
After logging in to the secure site, I-PASS customers will be directed to a main navigation page that provides a list of account services.
The mobile website will accommodate all types of mobile devices, including BlackBerry, iPhone and Android, officials said. Offering a mobile website instead of apps optimizes access for all types of devices, they said.
Lafleur said it is clear from tollway customer surveys that most I-PASS users prefer administering their accounts online rather than facing the hassle of phoning the tollway customer service line or making a trip to tollway headquarters in Downers Grove.
"Many people want to interact with us only online and more people are doing it with smartphones," Lafleur said.
Making the process more customer-friendly is a win for the toll authority too, because it will cut down on costs associated with personnel and sending violation notices to I-PASS customers, Lafleur said.
Aside from the notices, the toll authority also routinely mails letters to I-PASS customers to alert them when a credit card on file is soon to expire and to remind them to update the account with new credit card information.
Customers get "the benefit of the doubt" in many of the violation cases stemming from I-PASS account problems, Lafleur said. "But it costs us staff time and resources," she said.
The account services that I-PASS customers will be able to use on the mobile website include viewing account balance, transponder use and payment history, reviewing and updating personal information and credit card details, adding or updating vehicles and license plate information, and activating a new transponder.
The mobile website will not initially accept orders for new transponders or allow I-PASS customers to add funds to their account by using gift or cash debit cards, said tollway spokeswoman Wendy Abrams. Those and additional features will be added later, she said. For now, the active credit card listed on the account will be the only way to replenish account balances, at the pre-set level selected by the customer, she said.
About 86 percent of all toll transactions on the Illinois Tollway system involve I-PASS, officials said. There are more than 3.5 million active I-PASS accounts and more than 4.7 million active transponders.
All tollway drivers can also receive traffic alerts on Twitter for the four individual interstate toll roads on the 286-mile system. Go to Twitter.com and enter "tollway trip" in the search field to follow a particular road.
A reminder: Just please don't use the traffic alerts or the mobile website while driving.

High Country
Willard Wyman "56
University of Oklahoma Press (2005)
Willard Wyman's novel High Country is a compelling journey through the trueAmerican West.
As it turns out, this distance served her well. It is, in part, her working knowledge of the nasty-nice world of teens that has made Von Ziegesar, 35, a big success. "I had close friends who were incredibly wealthy and got to be part of their world," she said. "We were well off, but not"well, let's put it this way. One of my friends would fly on the Concorde to Paris to get fitted by Yves Saint Laurent."
Von Ziegesar is the creator and writer of the Gossip Girl novels, a hugely popular series of books that has attracted a near-cult following amongst its loyal readers, namely teenage girls. Her books have sold over two million copies, according to her publishers, mainly through word of mouth, with two recent titles making their debut atop the New York Times children's bestseller list.
With titles like All I Want is Everything, You Know You Love Me, and Because I'm Worth It, the series depicts the not-always-glam life of privileged teenagers"think Sex and the City for the junior set. "These books are all about living vicariously," said Danica Lo, a New York Post reporter who writes about fashion and trends.
"They're for the aspiring queen bee in all of us. These are like the teenage years you wish you had"for those of us who barely made it out of our teenage years alive."
"Welcome to New York's Upper East Side," begins the first book's first entry. "Where my friends and I live and go to work and play and sleep, sometimes with each other. We all live in huge apartments with our own bedrooms and bathrooms and phone lines. We have unlimited access to money and booze and whatever else we want, and our parents are rarely home, so we have tons of privacy. We're smart, we've inherited classic good looks, we wear fantastic clothes, and we know how to party."
Even though most of the characters are wealthy and not exactly your average everyday teen, they deal with the same problems teens deal with nationwide. One character is grappling with bulimia, while another just can't seem to kick his pot habit. But part of what sets the series apart from other young-adult novels is the tone; there's no moralizing or preaching. For all the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, the characters all turn out okay in the end.
"It's completely unrealistic to have a group of kids who are constantly reforming or who are being punished because they're 'naughty,'" Von Ziegesar said. "And I always resented that quality in books I'd read. I was terrified that the grown-up world would be horrified by my books, but all the parents hug me because their girls are reading. I don't know what it is that redeems the characters, exactly, but deep down, they're still good kids. They're not selling drugs to their little sisters."
Von Ziegesar came up with the idea for the series five years ago, when she was working as an editor at a book production company called Alloy Entertainment. At Alloy, she said, editors were responsible for generating concepts for books, writing out the proposals, and pitching them to publishers. She wrote the proposal for what would become the Gossip Girl series, and the people at Little, Brown liked the way the proposal was written"so much that they asked her to write the books herself.
With the October publication of the eighth book in the series, Nothing Can Keep Us Together, Von Ziegesar is hanging up the Gossip Girl reins and heading in a new direction in her writing career. From now on, the byline on the continuing series will read, "Created by Cecily Von Ziegesar."
With two children under five, Von Ziegesar gets her writing done when she can, "They're out of the house from ten until three, so I write furiously during that time," she said.
She had considered writing about motherhood for her first non-Gossip Girl book, but she quickly dismissed
this idea, deciding she was too new to the maternity scene to write convincingly about it. "I think I'll be funnier about early motherhood five or ten years from now," she said.
Instead she's elected to focus her narrative on college.
Which means her book could feature one strangely familiar New England liberal arts college with a blue light inthe library tower. "I might visit Colby to refresh my memory," she said. "I don't think I could write about a college that isn't similar. I mean, that was my experience. I couldn't write about Columbia."
