NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla.- Seed-spitting, toilet seat horseshoes and mud pit tug-of-war. Those were some of the highlights of the inaugural Redneck Games, put on by the N. Ft. Myers Chamber of commerce at the German-American club in Cape Coral.
"We know that sometimes redneck does have a negative connotation. But we see it as just down-home fun, good fun for people of all ages," said Al Giacalone, honorary mayor of North Fort Myers. "You just have to have fun with it."
And about 1,000 people did on Monday. They also participated in "car tire bowling" and a "largest tattoo" contest.
"This is just the way we are. Good times with your buddy, having fun, if you get dirty or muddy, no problem. Spit, mud, crud, no big deal if you get muddy with your buddy," said "Wild Bill" Schwartz.
The Chamber's executive director was not sure how much money was raised, but he said the proceeds will go to promoting businesses in N. Ft. Myers.

Think of it this way. An old and very dear friend of mine died a few months ago of cancer, and made the mistake of never believing seriously that his end was coming, and thus went out basically screaming, "No!!" It wasn't pretty; he was so angry his wife had to have him taken out to hospice. On the other hand, my dad, who died of the same type of cancer, was ready for it, embraced it, and died at home surrounded by family. While the very end was rough, he had a pretty good last year experiencing life, family, and love while waiting for the cancer to take him down.

It is time to stop trying to "do" things to reverse the cataclysm in which we are embroiled—to stop looking for "answers" and start asking the right questions. The most important one we can ask in this moment is: How do we live in the face of the possible near-term extinction caused by the Fukushima nightmare and catastrophic climate change?

Before writing another word I want to thank all of you who have reached out to me through my website, on Facebook, Twitter, and by email to check on my status during the horrific Colorado floods of last week. At this writing, over 12,000 people have been evacuated, nearly 18,000 homes destroyed or damaged, 5 confirmed dead, and hundreds more missing. I consider myself extraordinarily blessed not to have been harmed or have experienced any damage to my home; however, all around me in every direction is devastation—evacuated families, schools closed, and people who still cannot return to their workplaces.

Today is Memorial Day, created many years ago with the intention of honoring the fallen in battle. While we hold them in our hearts alongside the horrors of war, what must also be remembered and cherished on this day is the earth community in which we are innately and organically embedded. Whatever you believe about NTE, which is really of little importance in the larger scheme of things, we are losing this planet by way of the actions of our very immature, uninitiated, unwizened species. If you can, go out in nature today and reconnect with some aspect of it. Hold it close to your heart as you would your child or a beloved. These are the good ole days, and this is as good as it is likely to get.

It is a rare individual who can claim to be an award-winning porn star. It is even more unusual for a person to be able to boast that he is "a man with a pussy." As an AVM award winner as well as the first female-to-male transsexual porn actor, Buck Angel is that very special person. While he lives as a man and takes hormones, he has not opted for sexual reassignment surgery. During his career he has starred in adult film such as Allanah Starr's Big Boob Adventures and Buck's Beaver, among others. He has also sought to bring transsexual porn out of a niche genre and into mainstream pornography. This weekend he will be visiting Minneapolis for a variety of events. Thursday and Friday he will be at the Smitten Kitten. Saturday, things move to Ground Zero (15 Fourth St. NE, Minneapolis; 612.378.5115) where he will give a special BDSM performance as part of Bondage-a-Go-Go.

text: Driving our final stretch back home to Chicago, I couldn't help reflect on all the amazing things that happened on this trip. It's certainly been an adventure, one that I'll never forget! One month on the road, 13 states visited, 7000+ miles driven and to show for it, I've learned a few truths: 1) There is Thai food, everywhere. Everywhere. 2) I love the hotel life; I love life on the road. 3) Someone needs to remaster all of Mitch Hedberg's comedy recordings. 3.5) Gabriel Iglesias is much funnier when heard and not seen. Impersonations that are off the chain. Watch out, Michael Winslow. 4) The French certainly love to vacation in America. 5) Sprint is the worst. THE WORST. 6) One's audio book is only as good as one's aux cable will allow it to be. 7) The US is truly magnificent and I will never again take it for granted. Love, Srt8Wst

Loft Bed Work Stationcomments (0) January 18th, 2013 in Project Gallery
The loft bed allows your child to utilize the space below for other uses. Some will have it as a play area where you could also install curtains for a private space. This unit was built with a play area in mind but was converted several years later to a work station for a tween. Maximizing space in a small bedroom is always a challenge.

How to watch the Geminid meteor shower
Geminid meteors have a reputation for being bright and slow, a shower of brilliant fireballs that streak through the sky.
The Geminid meteor shower — named for the constellation Gemini — is peaking late tonight into Saturday morning, potentially treating stargazers in light-free areas to about 90 to 120 meteors per hour. Observers can expect to get the best views of the shower, weather permitting, at around 4 a.m. local time in the wee hours of Saturday morning after the waxing moon sets.

Back in September, I attended the Textile Society of America's 13th Biennial Symposium, Textiles and Politics. One presentation I looked forward to was Rowland Rickett's "Pastoral or Political? Art/Work, Public Engagement, and Indigo Farming". I've posted before about Rowland Ricketts' work here, and his recent projects are just as exciting. IndiGrowing Blue, as described on the project's Facebook page
is a participatory art project that through the growing and processing of Japanese indigo (Polygonum tinctorium) aims to explore our relationship to our raw materials and the environment from which they come.
IndiGrowing Blue started in 2010 and is ongoing, with special events organized around the transplanting, harvesting, and processing of the indigo.
He shared photos of himself and the local community harvesting indigo in Bloomington, and went on to discuss the exhibit "Fields of Indigo" at the Kranner Art Museum. Fresh indigo plants were brought into galleries and hung to dry to demonstrate their change in color, and dried plants carpeted the floor of another gallery for visitors to participate in winnowing the leaves from the plants (see first photo above).
The gallery had a live sound stream set up, which tied in with sound streams in the indigo field in Bloomington and another in Tokushima, Japan on the webpage of related project, "I am Ai, We are Ai" (ai being Japanese for indigo). In Japan, traditional indigo dyers were invited to choose their favorite shade and dye a length of cloth. The lengths were cut up and put on display in locations that were once important to the indigo trade, but might now be parking lots or malls. Visitors were invited to cut a circle of their favorite shade and create a button to wear. The strips of dyed cloth with their many holes were left up for the determined period of time, gaining more holes as new visitors arrived. Rowland Ricketts wore the button covered in his favorite cloth to his presentation for the TSA Symposium.

Gauze is a sheer fabric that helps keep you cool in the summer. Fine silk gauze is extremely expensive, however, because it is very difficult and time-consuming to weave. This silk gauze was woven in Kyoto's prestigious Tawaraya Workshop to make a summer uchigi (outer robe) for Crown Princess Masako of Japan.Curator's Pick: Our curators are experts in textiles from around the world, and we're asking them to pick a few of their favorites to share.

A hybrid cloud is a consolidation of a private cloud and a public cloud. The reason for their growing popularity stems from their ability to offer multiple deployment models at once.
Gartner predicts that globally, almost half of all large enterprises will have deployed hybrid clouds by the end of 2017. That means we are in a defining moment wherein companies will begin planning to move away from private into hybrid clouds.
The challenge, though, is how to interconnect multiple clouds to work as a seamless whole. You don't want a cloud for e-mail, another one for content management and development, and yet another for collaboration; especially if the clouds lack the capability to interact with one another. More importantly, the complexity between hybrid clouds introduces a new paradigm of cybersecurity vulnerabilities. But with a careful implementation of standards concerning how to perform governance and implement IT systems to protect data, securing the hybrid cloud becomes possible.
Establish industry-specific and federal security controls
The energy and utilities industry have The North American Electric Reliability Corporation's Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) controls, the financial sector has the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards and the healthcare industry has to comply with security guidelines laid out in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
We provide a set of cloud-specific controls and baseline security measures from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, the federal government's security accreditation program for cloud services and providers. FedRAMP standardizes the approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services with a "do once, use many times" framework that is expected to reduce the cost, time and staff required to conduct agency security assessments of cloud solutions.
Our Solutions as a Service Secure Community Cloud or SolaS -- which consists of a community, private and hybrid cloud -- is built to meet the government's Federal Information System Management Act (FISMA) security guidelines at the Moderate Security Level and FedRAMP certification. SolaS received the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board's provisional authorization to operate, which is the most rigorous approval, and involves a thorough review by chief information officers of the General Services Administration, and Homeland Security and Defense departments.
As a cybersecurity company, Lockheed Martin not only meets the FedRAMP requirements but has also layered in specific security controls developed by the company.
We are working with companies in the energy, finance, healthcare and education sectors to identify similar baselines they can use to deploy trusted cloud services within their domain space.
I believe we will start to see a more significant adoption of the hybrid cloud as the industry-specific controls and the government-specific controls are extended to the cloud. At this point, commercial entities can start to consume each other's cloud services in a more trusting environment, and in a manner similar to the way agencies share data with FedRAMP.
At Lockheed Martin our approach towards the hybrid cloud and security is in lock-step with the bottom line in the commercial space- to understand how to use, secure and bundle services across multiple environments and make it seamless to their customers

I dunno!! Noatak says I should be a…whassit? Ah, right, politician! Because I kinda…tell-half truths sometimes (they're not lies, even if Noatak says they are!).
I only do it because Dad is so mean and stubborn, though. If I just asked him to do anything at all for me, or Mom, or Noatak in the normal way…he'd just tell me mean things that I'm not going to repeat and tell me how bad I am at bending and stuff. But if I can make him think something it's his idea…then I can get what I want. I dunno. It kind of sounds bad when I say it out loud. But I swear it isn't!
lantur answered your question: //Then again -
text posts! I love this blog :D
Lol, that statement doesn't even make since because I'm the one who asked.))
If it's up between probably not updating again at all or just answering asks with text posts (as opposed to drawings), would people prefer the latter?
That I have no idea when/if I'll be updating this page again?? I'm back in school so between that and work my soul has been sucked out through a straw.
Thanks to anyone and everyone who has ever liked, reblogged, or followed though :D
(I'm fantastically finicky though, so it's not so much that I'm consciously abandoning this blog as I have no idea when I might do any more of them!)
an excerpt from Chapter 2 of Satvva, in which Noatak finds out he's a waterbender on a hunting trip with Tarrlok and Yakone. a sequel to Tarrlok's flashback in chapter 1.
Ever since I saw this post, i just couldn't get this scene out of my head. So I translated this part from Mandarin first.
The polar leopard, less than twenty feet away from them, was staring Noatak right in the eyes; he had no choice but to stare back: so this is what it looked like, the creature from all those legends he'd heard about; legends, only, not stories, for those who had met it never survived to tell.
Covered in thick, pure white fur, the beast was enormous, larger than any of the animals he'd ever seen. The fur color made it almost unrecognizable in the snowfield; if it weren't for those bloody red eyes glowering at them, surely it would have had blended into the surroundings.
So beautiful- the thought had crossed Noatak's mind for a millisecond before he came to realize what was happening. The leopard gave a low growl, and the boy couldn't tell which was sending the shiver down his spine, the howling wind, or the craving of food in the leopard's eyes. As it lowered down, the muscles on those hind legs tensed up as a hint of its indubitable strength.
It didn't take a hunter to realize what that had meant. Noatak froze, his hand clinging to the handle of the sled. He shifted to his younger brother, who was sitting right next to him, dusting the dirt and snow off his coat with his back to the leopard, unaware. Their father stood on the other side of the sled, staring at the beast, his face deathly pale. Noatak looked back to meet his younger brother's eyes, only to find them fixed on the leopard now. He couldn't see Tarrlok's face but the sudden stiffness of his body had given everything away.
"Don't, move," said Yakone, in a low voice.
((That's a really interesting way to have Noatak find out he's a waterbender! And I was surprised as all shit when I clicked the inspiration link to see it was one of my posts, haha. Super honored!))
I used to be really afraid of the moon, because of—y'know—what Dad's made us do and all.
But then Noatak told me something that made me feel alot better! He said…
It wasn't so scary after that! So yeah, it'd be fun to visit.
FUUUUUUUUUUU I WAS GONNA DRAW THAT NO FAIR. I didn't even get to color it TTnTT I only got to the sketch … :'c
(( D'aww! I'd love to see it finished. Just because I was a little quicker doesn't make a difference. O: ))

Verizon Wireless plans to pay $3.6 billion for wireless airwaves from a venture of cable companies Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. Comcast said that the deal represented a 64 percent premium over the $2.2 billion price the cable consortium paid in 2006 for the wireless spectrum being sold to Verizon Wireless.
U.S. Representative Edward Markey asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether software maker Carrier IQ violated millions of mobile phone users' privacy rights. Carrier IQ makes software that companies including AT&T and Sprint install in mobile devices. It runs in the background, transmitting data that the software maker says its customer companies use to better understand their devices and networks.
Zynga, which plans to go public in two weeks, slashed its value by more than 30 percent to $9 billion, hoping to avoid the fate of other recent Internet IPOs that have disappointed after stock market debuts. Just two weeks ago a filing listed the Facebook game maker's value, based on a third party assessment, at $14.05 billion. CEO Mark Pincus, a serial entrepreneur before he founded Zynga, will hold a class of shares with 70 times more voting power than the common stock that will be sold in the offering.
RIM booked a huge charge to write down inventories of its underwhelming PlayBook tablet, capping a dismal year with a steep profit warning that sent its shares tumbling. The company said it now no longer expects to meet its full-year earnings forecast, due to weak sales, the PlayBook writedown and a charge related to a damaging service outage in October. RIM's U.S. traded shares ended the day down almost 10 percent.
Google won approval from U.S. antitrust regulators to buy online advertising company Admeld without any conditions, the Justice Department said.

I've heard the term rosado used to describe wrapper leaf. Can you tell me what this means?
Posted: February 3, 2014
Short answer: rosado means 'rose-colored' in Spanish.
As applied to wrapper leaf, the term describes the reddish tint of some Cuban-seed wrapper. This tint is most pronounced in Cuban-seed leaf grown in Ecuador, but it's also common to the wrapper grown for Fuente Fuente OpusX cigars in the Dominican Republic.

is it normal because it says i can but im not allowed to hit button since it says allowed to loot
is it normal because it says i can but im not allowed to hit button since it says allowed to loot
Do you have non-pagan vassal troops mixed in? I have no idea if that would make a difference though.
it just says owner has to be allowed to loot i dont think i have non pagan units
I dont know if this matters, but check the army leaders.
You can't loot if you have mercenaries mixed into the army... maybe that is the problem?
My first AAR: The Despotate of EPIRUS
no mercs or anything i started as default sweden king guy in 867
You need to have the army standing on one of your provinces. Being at sea isn't enough if that's the case.
Having the ability to toggle for looting while at sea would be great though.
You need to be pagan. (lol) That part of "owner has to be allowed to loot" usually is because your religion can't loot.
Or maybe your army is on a boat at sea and you can't toggle it.
You can toggle it if your army is in a boat and that boat is DOCKED in one of YOUR provinces.
"i always thought i was a good person, until i played Crusader Kings 2"
A viking that can't loot is no viking at all.
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
― G.K. Chesterton
It has to be a non-norse religion province connected to a river or ocean. Then make sure it HAS stuff that can be looted, not 0 gold. Then make sure your troops arent mercs, set them in your territory and toggle looting on that little screen where you choose that army's generals. Then go off and rampage.
"I always thought I was a good person" should be on the cover reviews on CK2.
As erik the heathen in 1066 i raised my armies but couldn't toggle the loot button. Why?
"i always thought i was a good person, until i played Crusader Kings 2"
I cant loot either as the King of Sweeden and He is norse and I have no Christian troops in my armys but yet I cant loot

For those in Minneapolis, I have a piece in the new Light Grey Art Lab show opening this Friday night!
Each artist was given an old dusty paperback novel to update the cover of which would then be turned into an oversized poster (18 by 24 inches!!). Check out the rest of the pieces HERE (some incredible work, not just saying that) and if you are so inclined HERE is the link to purchase a print of my poster to decorate your very own inter-planetary floating space cube!!

Monty just loves spending time with Tweet. They're besties – even if Tweet bats him around the head every once in a while.
7 Comments
Thank you! This is just what I needed on a Monday morning Adorable. Tweet reminds me of my darling gray cat, Simon (RIP).
I'm sure this has been asked a million times but what kind of dog is Monty?
He's a mini Aussie.
so cute! I heart Monday Monty blogs.
Maybe I should have skipped over this. My dog passed away last night. I had him for 12 years and he was an adult when I got him.
Ah…thank you! I'd really like to get one!
Hey…maybe you should blog about dogs and protection…it's interesting. I'm graduating from school in June and safety is a concern if I'm on my own so I'm strongly considering getting a dog.
Thanks though… hi Monty!
Oh, I'm so sorry! It's always heart-breaking when our pets die.

She's hot, she's blonde, she's got really nice big boobs, she likes to fuck on camera and her last name is the same as a chain of hotels. Sound familiar? Don't worry, this site isn't about reality TV star and overall why-is-she-a-celebrity Paris Hilton, but rather about pornstar Hanna Hilton and it's quite clear why she's famous.
For those who don't know, HannaHilton is a native of Brookville, Indiana. She's in her 20s, stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 112 lbs., although that doesn't stop her from having amazing 34DD breasts. Her tits see quite a bit of action on this site, from her playing with them to a guy named Rocco getting to titty-fuck them, but the rest of her slim body gets quite a bit of lovin' too.
The scene with Rocco is just one of a few with penetration. Hanna seems to enjoy giving head and getting fucked in her shaved pussy, but it looks like most of the collection focuses on solo play and lesbian action. There are 53 videos and these were last updated in 2010. You can mostly expect good-quality playback, but a few come in a Full HD format. Some of the scenes run for 30 minutes and they can all be downloaded in full-length files.
The images in the 46 photo sets are beautiful. They're all high-res and you'll be pleased to learn that there are around 135 pics per gallery and you can go ahead and download them in Zip files should you so desire.
Hanna apparently retired from the biz in 2009, so I wouldn't count on the site getting back to updating anytime soon. Chances are that it'll remain at its current size, so it's a good thing that members can enjoy the free access to over 10 other websites, including the likes of Aaliyah Love, Ashley Fires and Cassandra Calogera. They're all part of the Open Life network.
If you like Hanna Hilton, then there's quite a bit to like about her site. There's enough to keep you happy and busy for a little while and the bonuses could very well keep you around after you get through all of her material.

Kahlil Gibran
"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backwards not tarried with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth."
— Kahlil Gibran
The current state of inhumanity
We are all out of control. Time to slow down and really think about what we are doing. Our lives are chaotic and harmful to each other and everything energetic. We lose nothing and gain everything with a conscience. -cr

Hello Everyone
A big hello to all members in this forum. I'm currently in the middle of a bathroom renovation for the past couple of years :o. After considerable nagging, I've restarted the project (there's three full bathrooms so the loss of one was irrelevant...to me). I do have some questions but will ask if I can't find any info.
:welcome: to House Repair Talk!
Nagging is the motivating factor for most home improvement projects...;)

Hot Mirrors-Reduce NIR-Electromagnetic Radiation
In most applications light sources are powerful (high intensity projection lamps or lasers) and would overheat and warp absorption filters. In these cases transparent substrates have to be used, together with dielectric coatings with a very large number of layers. This plot shows hot mirror typical for applications where image or light detectors are sensitive to "heat". They are also used to eliminate IR energy that is emitted by the display panel in the cockpit of an aircraft. This is done so... (read more)

Published July 6, 2011
Earth isn't losing its "spare tire" as fast as it should be, according to new research—and it's definitely not because the planet's not getting enough water.
In fact, melting ice from Antarctica and Greenland (map) is giving the oceans huge infusions of water, which then gets pulled toward the Equator—counteracting a millennia-old slimming trend around the planet's middle, experts say.
(Related: "Antarctica Ice Loss Faster Than Ten Years Ago" [2008].)
Researchers have long known that Earth isn't a perfect sphere. Rotational forces cause the planet to bulge at its waistline. A person standing at the North Pole, for example, is about 13 miles (21 kilometers) closer to the center of Earth than someone at the Equator.
That difference has been shrinking, at least over the long term. Ever since scientists have been measuring the equatorial bulge, it's been retracting at a rate of seven millimeters (about a quarter of an inch) a decade—part of a long rebounding from the Ice Age, which lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago.
During the Ice Age, "all that ice is sitting there, and it's sitting there for tens of thousands of years," study co-author John Wahr said. At the Poles, "it pushes down on the Earth, and the Earth sinks down underneath it."
The extra Ice Age weight even squished Earth's malleable mantle outward, further enlarging the planet's bulge.
Once the Ice Age ice melted, though, the Poles began to slowly spring back, and they've been doing so ever since.
But now "there's something else going on that offsets [the bulge's shrinkage]," said Wahr, a geophysicist at the University of Colorado.
(Related: global warming facts.)
Straight to the Waistline
Beginning in the 1990s, the post-Ice Age rebound began to slow and now appears to have stopped, according to the new study, which relied on data from the twin Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites. GRACE takes ultra-precise readings of Earth's gravitational field, allowing for researchers to gauge, for example, changes in ice mass and the amount of water in the ocean.
The culprit? "It looks like that is Greenland and Antarctica losing mass," Wahr said.
(Related: "Not So Fast: Greenland Ice Melting, But Slower Than Thought.")
According to Wahr and his collaborator Steve Nerem, the two regions are losing a combined 382 billion tons of ice a year.
That ice falls into the ocean, melts, and is pulled toward the Equator by the same forces that create Earth's spare tire. And while the reduced weight on Greenland and Antarctica will eventually allow Earth to spring back a bit more, it'll take thousands of years for that adjustment to take place, the researchers say.
(Also see "Global Warming Good for Greenland?")
Overall, the current ice loss is causing Earth's bulge to grow at a rate of seven millimeters a decade, Wahr and Nerem found—exactly enough to counteract the long-term rebound, at least temporarily.

The study describing the change in Earth's bulge is slated to appear in an upcoming issue of Geophysical Research Letters.

Last Sunday my Mum and I had a little jaunt to Bath with a stop over, so we could leisurely take in the sights.
We went on the Sunday so I could visit the Bath Vintage and Antiques Fair. It's held undercover at Green Park Station, which was lucky for us with all the rain we were having, but unlucky for us on that day as there were hardly any traders! Perhaps it was a bit too close to Christmas and New Year and traders were still away or busy - one of the reasons I don't start the Worcester Flea until February. Hey Ho! There were still some nice antiques and collectables on offer and the venue itself was great, but sadly nothing caught my eye enough to want take home with me.
|Bath Vintage & Antiques Fair -
somehow only managed to take one blurry photo oops!
Our hotel offered a lovely afternoon tea with a selection of sandwiches and scones, so after a good mooch round the market and getting our bearings round the town, we went back to the hotel to 'take tea' in a very civilised fashion. I realised that this was the first time I'd ever had a posh afternoon tea served on a proper cake plate etc so was quite taken with the whole business!
|Tea for Two at The Abbey Hotel
Over the two days we were in Bath we crammed as much as we could in and managed to visit all the main tourist spots and have a good look round the shops. Obviously we had to visit the famous, fantastic Roman Baths, which were so interesting! We went just as it was starting to get dark which made it look even more spectacular and atmospheric with the torches burning around the main pool. It's hard to get your head round just how ancient the site is!
|The Roman Baths with the Abbey
looming large in the background
|Mum taking some pics!
The next day we went from Roman to Regency and visited the Assembly Rooms, which also houses the Fashion Museum:
|The outside of The Assembly Rooms
It was changeover week for the Fashion Museum so not all of it was open, but that meant it was only £2.50 entry fee to both the museum and Assembly rooms and there were still plenty of vintage dresses to ogle.
I quite liked how the eras were mixed up in some displays and arranged by colour or theme:
|Black dresses throughout the ages, excuse the poor quality photo!
|Handmade Siren Suit left
I absolutely loved this green 1930s/40s dress with a shooting star print - want!! It was really hard to get clear photos in the dim lighting through the glass, but I had a bash!
The Regency Assembly Rooms were definitely worth a peer round too, with the vast ceilings and humongous chandeliers. You could really envisage Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy taking a twirl around these highly polished floors!
From the Assembly Rooms we walked up to the famous Royal Crescent. It was super impressive with a lovely view of a private park in front and hills beyond. We couldn't help wondering how they manage to get the residents to move all their cars when they film period dramas!

My mom and I traveled to Atlanta for a quick trip yesterday and tried to hit as many spots as we could in just one day's time, as this was my first visit. We browsed boutiques and restaurants, and I left wishing for just 24 more hours and a bigger bank account. Below are some of the highlights…

Darks are just not my color of choice. My mother has told me time and time again that "black looks dowdy" on me, and while it's a classic you-can't-go-wrong-kind-of-palette, I just don't tend to gravitate towards darks (unless it's a feather and sequin dress; then the color doesn't matter). Cue Ann Taylor's new summer line. The colors are a force to be reckoned with, my friends! From the bright crops (as seen in these pics) to the vibrant shorts (pics to come) to tanks and blouses of all neons, the line is wearable, affordable, chic, easy to mix and match, and best of all, bright!
Ann Taylor has provided me with these outfits in compliance with FTC guidelines. I was not compensated by Ann Taylor for writing this post, and my opinions are my own.

Hair care has not been on my priority list as of late, and after I saw these pics from last weekend, I knew it needed to be. So after a relaxing weekend of lounging with my friends and fam during a gorgeous weekend in this flower child dress and catching up on beauty sleep, it's off to the hairdresser I go.

Last weekend my best friend, mom, and I hit up Three French Hens Flea Market about an hour or so outside of Chicago in Morris, IL. My mom talked us into going as she said, quote, "This was the cutest town you'll ever see." So naturally, we couldn't pass it up. Well, I must admit, she was right. The town was adorable, the sellers were stocked, and despite the rain, I managed to pick up quite a few things for the new place I'm moving into in a few weeks (pics to come). See some of the highlights below…

To My "Followers":
My blog (the majority of it anyways) is just a bunch of letters to Taylor Swift that she'll most likely never ever read. I rant, vent, laugh, cry, complain, squeal, and have type spazzing attacks where I type asdfghjkl; a bunch of times and flail throughout the whole paragraph. Just what your average fourteen year-old Swiftie does, right? You don't have to read any of my posts because most of them are me just going on and on and relating to Taylor how I feel like in certain aspects only I can; In a deep and personal level. Of course this is probably not true so that's why I ramble. A lot. So like I said....only about half of my posts make sense. Don't say I didn't warn you.
To A Random Viewer:
Hi. I'm decinere (de cinere, which means out of the ashes in Latin). Or Sarah, whatever floats your boat. Feel free to talk to me if your literate. Or not...I can be helpful. I'm just a little stubborn as any high schooler should be.
To Curious Lassies and Laddies:
Hey. I'm decinere, which means out of the ashes in Latin. I've been through some tough stuff which I'm sure a lot of you can relate to. I'm a freshie somewhere dreary ol' Ohio and I have found my name annoyingly regular in the fourteen years of my Sarah-like life. I've got naturally curly hair that I'm super proud of and I constantly flip it around like an idiot because that's what I do. I have a fetish for dancing in the middle of parking lots, I drop it like it's hot when ever I see anything Sun-Drop, and I knock on wood all the time even though I'm hardly superstitious. I like cats, apples and cheese together, fancy guitars, and slamming on pianos to make haunting sounds that echo in your head 'till the next day. I don't like movies that make you cry (which is actually a lie, I love them they just make my tear-ducts hurt), pointless relationships, pizza, or sauce on my spaghetti. But I'm still normal (which is also a lie (: )

Doing the rounds since 1994, this unimaginative slasher-on-a-film-set story plays with all kinds of nasty themes - - snuff flicks, women in peril, sexual violence - but never delivers the goods.
The story follows a mute FX artist (Marina Zudina) who witnesses some of her colleagues filming the murder of a young woman while working on a movie in Moscow. ""She can't speak, she can't scream, she can't beg for mercy"", claims the over-excited tagline. Maybe if she could, Mute Witness wouldn't have been quite so mediocre - and Russian actress Zudina may have injected her character with more animation than a soggy mitten. Oh well, at least the brief appearance of the late Sir Alec Guinness as a Russian Mobster (in scenes that were shot nine years before the rest of the movie was made) offers some 'what-the-fuck?' value.

- September 26, 2007 - The quality of the education in Cheshie is suppose to be exceptional. I have found it to be anything but. In particular the entire math department should be fired!They are just plain failing to teach math to their students. I have come across teachers and coaches who are just plain rude to the point that I would like to go to the admmistration regarding their behavior (anti-bullying policies should apply to teachers and staff as well as students!). Band is big in Cheshire. Both Jazz and Marching are supposedly excellent. There are a variety of sports to choose from, but it is really a matter of who you know and not how good you are in a few (but not all) sports. There are also numerous clubs to join, many are very good. Although the facade of the building is OK the inside is not up to standards of other schools that are in the same income bracket as Cheshire. Parents are involved (or overly involved, especially in sports!) I wish I had the money to send my children to private school, as I'm not impressed with the hype!!! - Posted by Parent
- March 09, 2007 - While the level of academic programs is high, along with availability of extra curricular activities, there has been a lack of attention to bullying and harrasment in this school system. By experience the faculty seems to be attentive to listening to an upset parent, but nieve to how inappropriate these kids actions have been. I was raised in this town adn it was the same when I grew up and now as a parent, even though my taxes go to Cheshire Schools, choose not to have my children attend them. - Posted by Parent

The Must Have Hair Accessory for Dancers!
23 August 2013
www.hipstahgram.com = SUBSCRIBE
There simply isn't any other product like it on the market. It's not a Snood or a comb or a Scrunchie. Instead it takes the best attributes of each and combines them in one, simple-to-use product.
PonyBun® works on many different hair types. If you can put your hair into a ponytail, you should be able to wear a PonyBun. You simply pull all of your hair into a ponytail with the elastic loop, and tighten it so you have a nice secure ponytail.
Twist your hair into a bun and tuck it all into the pouch. Then insert the comb in from the top of your head. (The elastic loop and comb are attached to the inside of the pouch. Make sure the right side of the pouch is facing out, so the curve of the comb will fit properly against the curve of your head.) PonyBun is great for all ages and all occasions. If you've had trouble finding the right hair accessory, www.ponybun.com is your answer.
