Model Moment: Chace Crawford in Esquire
How cute do guys look in stripes? Let me answer that for you, very. And how cute do stripes look on Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford? Ridic, I know. He recently scrubbed up for Esquire UK looking every inch the fashion model thanks to some Upper East Side styling. I'm loving the moody navy blue palette with pops of grey, pale blue and black. Don't even get me started on the geeky-chic specs. For more Chace goodness, click through our gallery.

Jake McGuiggan drove in the go-ahead run to give the North Shore Navigators (27-19) the lead in the eighth inning, as the North Shore Navigators hung on to beat the Pittsfield Suns (25-22) 7-2 on Friday.Patrick Raley singled to start the eighth. He then went from first to third on a passed ball. Finally, McGuiggan came to the plate with the score tied at two, and singled, scoring Raley.
Adrian Benitez had an impressive outing against the Pittsfield Suns' lineup. The Pittsfield Suns managed just three hits off of the the North Shore Navigators' pitcher, who allowed no earned runs, walked two and struck out three during his five innings of work.
Despite the loss, the Pittsfield Suns' Dan Bradley dominated the North Shore Navigators' batters, giving up zero runs and striking out six.
Miles Landry got the win, running his season record to 5-3. He struck out none, walked none and surrendered no hits.
Tito Marrero ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his first loss of the year. He lasted just one-third of an inning, walked two, struck out none, and allowed four runs.

it's been a week since i heard it for the first time and i found kicking it out of my head damn impossible
it's been two years since I last commented on this track. it still kicks some ass. and I am still rocking out to it. fun music.
I will always comment positively about this song. One guy did this. That's such an incredible depth of sound. No real horns were hurt in this experiement. Great stuff.
Great rock'n'roll song but bad sound. Where was it recorded? In a toilet?
Nail, Hope

What happens when the Albin Counter Gambit meets up with GM Finegold's opening repertoire? A Chigorin cousin with queenside knights is born! Finegold speculates that the opening is far better than its reputation, and sets out to prove it by showing three games in less than 15 minutes! If offbeat but playable openings are your thing, this land-speed record will set you off on the right foot. Why not enter choose an opening you'll know more about than your opponent? | Bekijk video
What happens in the Chigorin, stays in the Chigorin. Except today, when GM Finegold spills the beans on the cxd5 variation. Black attacks the center with pieces, not pawns, and to great effect. Watch a trio of games in which our offbeat-opening connoisseur wrests the initiative away from the first player. If Ivanchuk can play it against Kasparov, then surely it will work at your chess club or on Chess.com! | Bekijk video
GM Williams shows the first game her ever played against the Budapest Gambit, some 10 years ago. He played the somewhat offbeat e4 and got advanced pawns and better development in return for his fractured structure. Despite demolishing Black, the Ginger GM remains rosy-cheeked about the opening. Watch and you'll also see who that annoying boy was watching the game! | Bekijk video
"I'm up a piece, with compensation!" That's a pleasant situation to be in, as you might guess. GM Finegold shows you how he got there. Using an offbeat variation against the Grunfeld that no other GM plays, our video author nabs two easy wins. In one, Black is denied the ability to castle. In the second, he manages, but is pulverized on f7 anyway. Finegold even finds a few finesses that are better than winning a queen! Watch him turn Iceland into his playland. | Bekijk video
Part 3 of GM Perelshteyn's offbeat approach against the Sämisch shows that if you are flexible with your pawn structures, you can catch White out of his theoretical knowledge. The grandmaster plays a pair of games in which White does little to restrict ...b5, and Black liquidates the center with ease in both cases. After that the active Black army mops up. Watch this series and you'll see that there is nothing to fear but fear itself - and certainly not the f-pawn. | Bekijk video

Spotlight On Snacks: What's Your Favorite?by Maria Russo in Shows, April 26th, 2014
On today's all-new episode of The Kitchen, the co-hosts shifted the spotlight from meals to munchies as they revealed a few trendy bar snacks making appearances at local hot spots. While pretzels and peanuts may be the norm in most bars, picks like seafood cracklings and Scotch eggs have begun surfacing recently, and they're surely a welcome addition alongside cocktails.
In addition to nibbling while out sipping drinks, most of us are familiar with indulging in a few bites at home to satisfy snack cravings. From good-for-you carrot sticks and cucumber slices to decadent treats like soft cookies, crunchy chips and salty popcorn, quick-fix munchies can take nearly any form. FN Dish wants to know, when you have a hankering for a snack, what do you grab? Do you have a sweet tooth that's tempted by chocolate candies, or are you more likely to opt for crispy, cheesy, savory selections? Cast your vote below to tell us your favorite snack.
So tell us: What's your favorite snack?
Tune in to a brand-new episode of The Kitchen on Saturday at 11a|10c.

This new website sucks!!!!!! I liked your old one because I could immediately go to the website, select the show and get all the recipes quickly. I just watched the Kitchen and wanted several of the recipes shown. Can't find a one of them! You ask for what I liked above but don't give the recipes. I am finished with you. Also, you should bring back Paula D – now she had good recipes. Unfortunately, you could not find them on this web site.
Right! Where the F**K are the recipes?!
This website is awful!!!!! Bring back the old one!!!! It wastes too much time trying to find a particular recipe. Why change something that was so easy to use?
I like your program!.
But where can I find the recipes?!.
I sad for it!

this website has become torture for me. I loved and used the other site so often now I cant

my favorite snack is vegetables and fruit; makes me so feel healthy, and builds my immunity. (I
can not include popcorn, because it seems to mess up my intestines.)
I agree with all. This current website is awful…… So long and difficult to find anything.

Comments Thread For: Luis Cruz's Take on Chavez vs. Martinez, Ramos Bout
BoxingScene.com recently reported that a fight between super featherweight contender Luis Cruz (20-1) and prospect Casey Ramos (16-0) was being discussed for a special September 13th edition of ESPN Friday Night Fights.
The Puerto Rican fighter told us that he is excited to be fighting in Las Vegas two days before the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr-Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez pay-per-view mega event and gave us his thoughts on the fight.

Didn't really give an analysis of the fight though. Chavez has a melt down in training and Sergio eats him up like a hungry lion attacking an injured caribou.

I actually saw the fight where he lost. He looked OK but he was way too inactive looking to counter. Has a very good chin and was fresh at the end of the bout but the right man won.

I was a fan of Cruz until the Burgos fight. Yeah he lost, but men, what an awful performance by a guy that had a celebrated amateur background.

Microsoft's TechFest 2009 Is A Search Playground
Hundreds of Microsoft researchers from around the world gathered at company headquarters in Redmond this week for TechFest 2009, a chance to share ideas and show off their latest creations.
Although Microsoft emphasizes that there are no plans to bring any of this technology into Live Search, some of the interesting ideas were featured this week on the Live Search blog. Here are two that caught my eye:
Opinion Search
Microsoft's existing Opinion Index in Live Search was built from this technology, but the version demoed at TechFest takes the collection, storage, and organization of user reviews to a new level, the company says.
Color-Structured Image Search
This technology adds the color element to the traditionally keyword-based world of image search. The technology can help you locate an image of a tiger under a sunny blue sky easier than by simply searching for "tiger sky." As Microsoft explains it:
With Color-Structured Image Search, we're able to re-rank search results for the query "tiger" to include tiger-related images with "blue" color at the top of the search results.
You can get more information about these technologies and many others by clicking the "Research Gallery" tab at the TechFest 2009 web site.
DON'T MISS OUT! The agenda for Search Engine Land's SMX West search marketing show is now up. Search marketing is the biggest area of digital marketing. You can't afford to get it wrong! SMX has practical tips & techniques for those experienced with SEO & SEM plus a welcoming environment for beginners. Learn more!

Flash mob stands as one in Manchester for campaign to end childhood homelessness
A group of about 400 participated in a flash mob to raise awarness about childhood homelessness on Thursday at Veterans Park in Manchester. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
Workers in the downtown area made a quick appearance at Veterans Park on Thursday, gathering as a flash mob to raise the awareness of the "I Am One" campaign to end childhood homelessness.
Many homeless children don't finish school and end up as homeless adults with children, she said.
The flash mob involved 388 people who walked from different parts of downtown to Veterans Park. They formed the word "ONE" and cheered "I am One" while photographers snapped away."It's great to be part of something so big, so important," said Tara Dutton, who works at HRC Total Solutions, a third-party administrator that encouraged its workers to participate. "It's so hot, but it's worth it."
The event next Thursday is free and is scheduled to run from 5 to 9:30 p.m. at Veterans Park. It will feature, food, drink and a music competition involving three separate acts.
"She agreed, but state police nixed it. State police said they can't protect her in the fashion she needs," he said.

Hello! I'm a singer, living in NYC, who just recorded a track with a German DJ…the lyrics are mine, but we worked together on music…Before I send him the track I'd like to have a legal agreement with all the terms and conditions, signed from both sides…I need help to do it…Thank you!
Yipes---you should have done these agreements before you entered the recoding studio. In any event, you need several agreements, including a songwriting agreement, music publishing agreement, artist agreement, mechanical license agreement, and sound recording agreement. Some of these are traditionally combined in a single document, but others are traditional done separately. You need to retain music licensing counsel to prepare these agreements. I regularly represent record labels and artists in drafting these agreements, and they are neither simple nor short. You can't do this yourself, and lawyers do not work for free. Thus, you need to be prepared to pay a lawyer for ten or so hours of time to prepare these documents and potentially more time to handle negotiations, Performing Rights Organization registrations, Harry Fox registrations and other matters.
The type of contract you need will be completely dependent on how you want to split ownership of the song. If you have nothing in writing BEFORE you make a song, then all of it belongs to both of you equally. The lyrics are yours in the sense that you wrote them before the song (ie for publishing and SESAC), but the recorded track is a collaborative work that right now is 50/50 unless you have something like a simple split sheet.
So why do you need contracts before exactly? Contracts require what's called "consideration", meaning a give and take where everyone has to contribute something new. Here and in the future, why you should sign a contract before is because the "give" you contributed was your lyrics and the DJ's "give" want his production. You have both already given consideration (ie performed), so there is nothing right now left to enforce a contract (ie nothing that you can give or take because it's already done). If it's already done, no consideration, then a contract is unenforceable and no matter what you sign, unless done right, will have no weight.
All of that said (shared for the sole purpose of encouraging you to write something out in advance in the future), you now need something a little special, like a copyright assignment agreement (where you both are 'giving' different rights to each other) or some sort of publishing agreement that has something new to it. For example, your DJ assigns his/her copyright to you totally and you agree to pay him/her for it. Or your DJ agrees to let you be the only person to have the right to sell the song to other people, but you pay him royalties and he keeps his rights. Something to that effect.
Music rights get complicated and as much as I want to give you an easy answer, I think you gathered from the other answers that you need an entertainment attorney. You need someone professionally to look at what you and your DJ want from the relationship, choose a contract based on their advice and let the attorney draft it for you to make sure that you leave nothing up to chance should a dispute arise.
But good news, almost any attorney anywhere can work as counsel for an entertainment contract since copyright is generally a federal issue. So even though NY is a fabulous scene for music, if you want an attorney in LA or Nashville because of your TYPE of music, that could work out, Of course there are some limitations to what someone out of state can and cannot do but often a firm will have an attorney licensed in that state to work on the case or review the work.
In the end, the hope of every artist (and their attorneys) is that their work blows up throughout the world and makes good money. Good money usually means friction at some point, and like my colleague said, you are incredibly wise to realize that you need to hold onto the song until you have something that will make sure you keep what's yours. Just make sure you don't leave it up to chance with a DIY contract.
Congratulations on creating your new music and best of luck!
You are so smart to want to take care of this now. New York is a great place to be if you are looking for an entertainment attorney. You can look in the AVVO directory for entertainment lawyers near you. If money is an issue, there is also Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. www.vlany.org.
If you were hoping that an attorney would come forward in response to your question and offer to help you, it is against the rules of AVVO for any of us to do that. But you can certainly contact the attorney of your choice, whether it is someone who answers this question or not.
My colleagues have already ably answered your question. I strongly suggest that you read a book or two on how the music business works [visit the links below] and then start a relationship with a local entertainment attorney. Search Avvo for Maurice Ross -- he's not only a good music lawyer, he's a musician himself. Good luck.
Hello New York singer. You are right you need to have a legal agreement. In fact you should have had it before you ever recorded the track with that German DJ. I suppose you realize that by now and that is why you are here asking. You are smart to ask before you sent the track. Now be just as smart and get a NY music industry lawyer to draft that agreement for you. You are in luck, there are at least two New York musician IP lawyers that post frequently here on Avvo and one has answered this question. You should call him

Girlfriend said they where prompt, great and beautiful flowers. I only rate them 4 stars because I requested the courier to read the card to her. But he/she didn't, just nit picking but it adds to the experience. Thanks regardless, great service.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- While it's peak vacation time, it's also time to be on high alert for scammers.
Hotel managers tell WINK News that during the month of March, more con-artists are trying to take advantage of guests.
"The snowbirds are down, spring training is in full swing, and the hotels are at their highest occupancy," said John Lai, vice president of the Lee County Hotel Association. "When people are on vacation, they tend to let their guard down a little bit and become more trusting."
While it's easy to relax at the beach, Lai is warning the public not to fall for a common shell game.
Several instances of scammers calling hotel rooms, posing as front desk employees and asking for credit card information, have been reported.
Lai said that with the advent of automated answering systems in hotel, it is easy for someone to call room after room.
"A hotel employee would never call a guest and ask for anything over the phone," Lai said.
Lai advises potential victims to tell the caller that they will come down to the front desk and deal with the matter in person.
"It's critical to understand that while we do live in paradise, there are people who will take advantage of that," Lai said.

Established in the Sociology Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1984, the A. E. Havens Center for the Study of Social Justice is dedicated to promoting critical intellectual reflection and exchange, both within the academy as well as between it and the broader society. The Center is named in honor of the late Professor of Rural Sociology, A. Eugene Havens, whose life and work embodied the combination of progressive political commitment and scholarly rigor that the Center encourages.
The traditional tasks of critical social thought have been to analyze the sources of inequality and injustice in existing social arrangements, to suggest both practical and utopian alternatives to those arrangements, and to identify and learn from the many social movements seeking progressive social and political change. These tasks are as relevant today as ever. Indeed, we face a variety of challenges, both new and enduring, that demand creative critical reflection. These include the increasingly integrated and global character of capitalist economic development, the durability of racial and gender oppressions, the threats of global environmental catastrophe, and the failure of many traditional models of progressive reform.

ALAIN BADIOU holds the Rene Descartes Chair at the European Graduate School (EGS). Badiou was a student at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in the 1950s. He taught at the University of Paris VIII (Vincennes-Saint Denis) from 1969 until 1999, when he returned to ENS as the Chair of the philosophy department. He continues to teach a popular seminar at the Collège International de Philosophie, on topics ranging from the great 'antiphilosophers' (Saint-Paul, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Lacan) to the major conceptual innovations of the twentieth century. Much of Badiou's life has been shaped by his dedication to the consequences of the May 1968 revolt in Paris. He is the author of several successful novels and plays as well as more than a dozen philosophical works.

High Threat Concealment recently put the Velocity Systems Scarab Light through its paces.
Reports are it was great and worked well with the HTC belt rig.
About two years ago at SHOT Show 2013 I received an unexpected gift from my friend, Dave Reeder. At the time, it was a bit of a unicorn, a Legion Firearms LF-P40. It's a unique .40 cal 1911 variant built specifically for Legion Firearm by STI. It's a beefy gun with a double stack magazine, and lots of angles. I've never had a holster for it, until now.
Today, I was invited to visit High Threat Concealment to check out their recently expanded shop, and they asked me to bring the pistol along. While I was there, they made a custom Kydex holster for the LF-P40. As you can see from the images, the holster is a perfect fit, right down to Legion's signature honeycomb pattern on the slide.
Following up on their international release a few weeks ago, High Threat Concealment will be at SOFIC 2014 in Tampa at booth 1849, along with their new industry partner Darley Defense. Stop by the booth and see what HTC has been up to since SHOT Show. Interested dealers can contact Shay at firstname.lastname@example.com to set up a meeting during the show.
Newport News, VA, April 2014 – In a world where being "made" can be a life-ending event, High Threat Concealment™ (HTC™) has set the standard for low visibility tactical equipment. Our system has become standard issue to groups and units whose lives depend on staying off the grid. Being able to operate covertly, yet still effectively react to a threat without compromising your capability is where HTC™ has exceled. For Protective Security Details, Surveillance Teams, SOF units, and individuals operating in non-permissive environments, our Low Profile System™ (LPS™) has become a necessity for professionals looking to lower their tactical signature. The modularity of our system creates a flexible platform that can be adapted to a variety of tactical applications.
HTC™ is now going global. After stepping in to fill the emerging vacuum in the domestic "low visibility" market, we are establishing our International Dealer Program. With our scalable manufacturing capabilities, we are able to fill large purchase orders with minimal lead-times. We are now ready to create and dominate globally in the "low visibility" Market. All international parties interested in becoming dealers are asked to contact: Shay Dortch at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Be sure to stay tuned for major new announcements on new, innovative products coming to the market in 2014 from High Threat Concealment™.
HTC is holding a Tax Return promo through the month of April for their web store. 15% off store wide.
High Threat Concealment will be in booth #8411 with Valley Op Wear and Rogue Gunfighter, as well as a display in the TAG booth #30411.
Last October, High Threat Concealment in partnership with Rogue Gunfighter hosted their Low Vis Demo Day at C2 Shooting Center in Virgina Beach, VA. HTC, Rogue Gunfighter, and other companies in the tactical and firearms industries displayed their products. This occurred along the covered range directly behind the main office at C2. We were able to offer coverage of these companies soon after the event in a number of earlier posts, however this made up only half of what was available that day.
The other half of the event was much more hands on. Participants were outfitted and allowed to shoot rifles and pistols out at a couple of the open ranges set up further down the property. It was a great opportunity to get a feel for HTC and Rogue Gunfighter's gear in action. As you can see from the photos, the HTC crew was also participated at the range themselves.
The High Threat Concealment/Rogue Gunfighter Low Vis Demo Day offered a great opportunity to check out some high quality gear on and off the shooting space. Strong offerings by the participating companies made it a worthwhile event. We look forward to seeing what these companies have to offer in the future.

Pac-12: Did you know?
By ESPN.com staff
Some notes to get you through the hours until Saturday. Many thanks to ESPN Stats & Information.
USC leads its series with Arizona 27-7.Ā In Los Angeles,Āthe Trojans areĀ15-4, with victories inĀthree of the pastĀfour Coliseum meetings.
Arizona is riding an eight-game losing streak to FBS opponents. But six of those opponents were ranked 14th or better, including three in the top-10 this year.
Colorado leads its series with Washington State 4-2, and the Buffaloes won the last meeting in 2004, 20-12.
The last time the Cougars went to Boulder, in 2003, they beat the No. 17 Buffaloes 47-26.
Colorado kicker Will Oliver is 6-for-6 on field goals and 11-for-11 on PATs this year.
Buffaloes running backĀ
Rodney Stewart
is third on the school's all-time rushing list with 3,022 yards. He needs 36 yards to eclipse Rashaan Salaam for second place.
Arizona State leads its series with Oregon State 24-12-1, but the Beavers have won three in a row in the series.
Oregon State is trying to avoid its first 0-4 start since 1996.
Arizona State has two wins over ranked teams, its most since 1997.
Stanford has won 11 consecutive games overall dating back to last year, the nation's longest active winning streak among FBS teams. The Cardinal's 11-game win streak is the school's longest since winning 13 straight from 1939-41.
Stanford and UCLA have met every season since 1946. The Cardinal have won the last two meetings. Stanford is looking for its first three-game win streak against UCLA since winning five straight against the Bruins from 1925-31 to start the all-time series.
Stanford is ranked sixth this week in the AP Poll. It marks their 12th consecutive week being in the top 10 in the AP Poll, the longest streak in school history. The 12 consecutive weeks in the top 10 is the second longest active streak (Boise State - 35 weeks).
Stanford's David Shaw is seeking to become the first Cardinal head coach to start 4-0 in his first season with the school since Chuck Taylor in 1951. Taylor's team that year made the Rose Bowl but lost there to Illinois.
Andrew Luck
enters Saturday's game with 23 career wins as Stanford's starting quarterback, one shy of the school record of 24 set by Steve Stenstrom in 1994.
Washington is 6-0 versus Utah, but the teams last played in 1979. The teams have never before played in Salt Lake City.
The Huskies are the only Pac-12 team Utah has never beaten.
The Huskies haven't started 4-1 since 2006.
Utes coach Kyle Whittingham is 6-0 after bye weeks. The Utes have won 10 in a row coming off regular-season byes, last losing in 2002.

Philbert proceeds bound for Haiti
The fund-raising pig in Reading Terminal Market will turn over cash to Red Cross.
Philbert proceeds bound for Haiti
Effective immediately and until further notice, all donations to Philbert -- the stone pig sculpture at Reading Terminal Market -- will be turned over to the American Red Cross' Haiti fund.
Update (1/19/10): A $1,000 check, made out to the American Red Cross-Haitian Relief Fund, was dropped into the till. The total raised so far, says market manager Paul Steinke, is $1,915. Not bad, given that most Philbert donations are in coin.

The story is very compelling and the characters are great. Everyone has their own unique persona and mystery about them which makes you want to continue watching the show. Anyone who loves anime should take the time to watch this show. You will have no regrets!

You will certainly watch this from beginning to end.

To be honest, at first, I was reluctant to watch this because I didnt like how some characters were drawn. That was a huge mistake!

This is seriously some action packed stuff. Events occur and overlap other events causing such thrill and excitement ...

By firstname.lastname@example.com (WENN Newsdesk)
Matt Damon is jealous of pal Jake Gyllenhaal's shaved head, because he's adamant baldness suits his fellow actor.
The Bourne Identity star has shed his locks for upcoming sci-fi thriller Elysium, while his friend Gyllenhaal is also sporting less hair.
But Damon has revealed he hates his new image being compared to Gyllenhaal's appearance.
He tells People.com, "Wow, I try not to envy, but I have to say Jake's got a damn good-looking head. He sure does have a beautiful round head.
"Normally you say, 'That's a beautiful head of hair, but that's a beautiful head he's got.' Gyllenhaal definitely gets the blue ribbon for the best bald head over me."
But Damon is slowly getting used to his new look, and is pleased his wife still finds him attractive without his trademark locks: "It's really liberating. I get out of the shower and just run the towel over my head and I'm done.
"But the only problem for me was during the summer time. I had to remember to put on sunscreen. I'm not used to that. A friend of mine who is bald told me you only make that mistake once. He was right about that.
"Thank God (my wife) does (still find me attractive), but you know she had to take a whole vow, for better or for worse, so she's kind of stuck with me!"

I started a batch today using 1.5gal grape juice, .5gal pomegranite juice, and 3lbs clover honey and 2 cups sugar boiled in .75gal water. I used Lalvin Bourgovin RC212 yeast. OG reading came out to 1.100. I'm planning on fermenting to about 1.010 or so to keep it pretty sweet... Any suggestions would be appreciated?
Sounds real nice, keep some yeast nutrient on hand because the honey doesn't have any for the yeast to use. That amount of pomegranate juice might not come through in the end, but you can determine that later and add more once the ferment is done. This is kind of like a hybrid melomel (mead) and a fruit wine. Sounds interesting, what kind of grape juice did you use?
Well, I decided to let it ferment all the way out and today I took a reading. It was at .994, so its pretty much finished, and will be reasonably potent. It has cleared completely so I'm going to let it degas for a while and in a month or two I will fully degas it and bottle. I may decide to sweeten a bit after campden when I go to bottle, either all or part of the batch.

Mitsubishi shows revamped 'innovative' EV
Mitsubishi has whipped the dust covers of the latest iterations of its iMiEV – the MiEV bit stands for 'Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle' – at the Geneva Motor Show. The iMiEV and it's more sporty sibling, the iMiEV Sport Air – the former is officially a "show model", the latter a "prototype" – are both rear wheel drive …
Needs a rear spoiler, then yoofs might actually buy it. Make it customizable like Scion did with it's line, and they will fly (silently albeit) off the lots. ;-)
Lessons learned?
Did they not learn from the mistake of the Xsara Picasso that people like to know which way round a car is?
OK, but...
All looks fine, but why do manufacturers feel it's a good idea to take the underpinnings of a practical four or five door car, turn it into a "coupe" and charge more for it? So what do you get less seats and less space, with a more porwefull engine to compensate. Why not put the more powerful engine and sportier suspension in the five door? Cake. Eat it.
This is after all Mitsubishi who years ago took the relatively mundane Lancer and turned it into the GSR EVO, a saloon capable of demolishing most sports cars. Did they feel the need to remove the back seats? Did they call it a coupe? No they just made it uglier, which was, it turns out, a damn fine move.
The whole 'leccy thing? It's all been said a million times over, hasn't it?
That dashboard and organic steering wheel look deliciously different.
Fingerprint magnets f'sh'wah, though.
Looks just like ...
The fiat 600 I used to drive years ago
What's with the wacky interior? Is it to make Jeff Bridges feel right at home?

Family GatheringsWhen I grew up
When I was growing up mom had an old blue cosmetic case where she kept the old family photographs, I poured over them by the hour, wondering about these people. Sometimes I'd ask questions but usually there weren't many answers.
In 1977 I started doing my family genealogy and found a lot of the answers. I kept asking questions of my mother, my grandma and eventually distant cousins I found through my research.
I know the people in this photo are connected through my Keith and Thompson lines who settled in southwestern Kansas in the later 1870s and early 1880s. They lived in dug outs and married locals and became a part of the growing community. They gathered for special holidays from the countryside and various small towns. Those were special occasions for the holidays, an anniversary, a birthday or a funeral. The women spent all day if not more than one in the kitchen preparing a spread of food and traditions that each of them grew up cherishing.
I believe the lady on the far right is the sister of my gr. gr. grandmother, Nancy Ann Thompson Keith. Hester Ann Thompson married Jacob Heape and had three children Fanny, Ruth and Ethyl. I don't know what happened to these people. Sadly I never followed up on where these girls went or if they have any descendants. The other possibility is her sister Helen who married a Crawford. I feel sad that I didn't follow up on these ladies.
I wonder what their favorite holiday foods were. What things they later made for their children. What stories did they tell around that table?
As the holidays approach take time to ask the questions. Make note of traditions or foods you've had all your life and haven't thought about. Record the answers for the kids who are now too young to ask themselves.
Americans have a Happy Thanksgiving. If not keep this in mind for your next family gathering.

When I was in school we wrote novellas in the form of letters. I loved the feel of pen on paper. I still do and usually write in my journal to keep that going. It is therapeutic. Then I'd receive an answer. Many pages of paper folded neatly into an envelope. They felt good.
We were just writing about our day-to-day activities and thoughts. An important thing for teens although we didn't realize that at the time. Pouring our feelings out on paper which were letters to dear friends that felt safe to us. That therapy doesn't happen through a keyboard and email.
It is sad that most schools are no longer teaching cursive writing. Printing is okay but I don't believe it has the strength of flowing cursive words. This will be such a loss to our children. Besides not being able to write in cursive they won't be able to read it.
How will they read letters handed down in the family? What if I wanted to share a part of this letter with my grandson? Our ancestors fought for the right to learn to read and write and it seems we are throwing that away. Sure there are books and emails and other printed sources but it just isn't the same.
I hope when I answer this letter she will write back. I hope we can find the joy we had years ago in handwritten letters.
Who could you write a real letter to today?

I've been watching some of those ghost hunting shows that are so popular on television: "Ghost Adventures," "Ghost Hunters International," "Dead Files, "Most Haunted." I love to see the buildings and hear the history. I even make notes if the locations are in the West because the stories could lead to an article.
I do find it interesting how people describe the apparitions they see. Often a description will include "really old," "late 1800s," "turn of the century" and other statements putting these people in the far distant past.
As a genealogist and historian I am more aware than most that these time periods aren't really that old. When I began doing my genealogy about 35 years ago I made contact with Dottie. She was a cousin on my Keith family. Here's a photo of her with her mother, Mattie.
I really had to laugh one day when one of the people on the show said the ghost she was seeing was really, really, really old and probably from the Civil War.
I realize it's all perspective and of course the younger you are the older these people seem but in reality the Civil War was just 150 years ago. I can remember when a Civil War soldier's widow died. It was all over the news.
Our grandparents and great grandparents saw an amazing period in time. Travel, communication, cooking and many other aspects of daily life changed. My grandma was born before cars, long before airplanes, she did own a microwave in her later years but her mother cooked on a wood stove. Wyatt Earp of the Old West was still alive when my mother was a little girl.
Another thing I heard the other day was that the researcher was going to meet with the descendants of two young men who committed suicide. Impossible. The person could have been a descendant of one of them or of their parents through another child but not the two young men. A descendant is somebody who descends from a particular person. Otherwise you are related to that person and descend from an earlier ancestor.
Every field or interest has it's own terminology. We all use terms incorrectly but as a genealogist this descendant thing really bothers me.
When you are watching television, a movie or reading a book think about how your family relates in time to what is happening. Could your ancestors have lived in that old haunted manor house in Lancashire, England? It can be quite mind boggling.

This photo would fit many of the descriptions those people give of the really old apparitions.
I don't remember when Dottie was born and it doesn't matter but she was still alive in my daughter's lifetime. We exchanged many letters and I still cherish them.
This photo seems very old with that car. The lady in the center is my great grandmother whom I remember well. I think the other lady was her sister Laura. The man was a family friend and I knew his grandson and my grandma grew up with his wife.

Remember When: A Special Moment
I was watching a YouTube video by Ilene McInnes on art journaling the other day. I love to kind of zone out with these and let the inspiration soak in. As she was working on the VIDEO she was sharing her thoughts which I found quite interesting.
Our favorite actors or other performers make us smile. We enjoy their work and we watch for them because we enjoy their work.
As artists (or writers, or bakers . . .) we send our work out into the world and hope it will make somebody happy. Make them smile or touch them in some way. What a joy it would be to share our work with one of those celebrities.
One of my favorite shows is still "Little House on the Prairie." Anybody who watched Melissa Gilbert grow up as "Half-pint" fell in love with her. Her sun bonnet hanging behind her and her pigtails flying is such a classic.
I was really in to making miniatures for awhile and even sold a few items. One of my favorites to make was a sun bonnet. I read that Melissa Gilbert also collected miniatures and I really wanted to send one to her as kind of a thank you for all the smiles she brought to me.
The scale is one inch to one foot.
During the same time period my husband and I were very involved in author, historian and celebrity events in Tombstone, Arizona. Although we worked the events we were more with the authors than the celebrities. They were kept more shielded.
I'd come prepared with a sun bonnet and had another friend give it to her at the signing event.
She smiled and waved at me. I was honored.
I did get my photo taken with her after the banquet that night. Here's another one I shot while she was posing with her son and and one of the author's spouses. I wish I'd waited to hand it to her myself but I didn't know if another chance would come up.
I'd met her husband at the time, Bruce Boxleitner, a few times and even had lunch with him and a couple of friends at one of the earlier events. That is him in the white hat standing behind Melissa in the photo above.
I thank Ilene for bringing up that memory and will send her a link to this post. It has me going through the large box of photos from those days and I hope to slowly get them all scanned. I will be sharing more here as time goes on.
Thank you for sharing my memory and please share any similar stories you might have.

Remember When: Owls
We finally found a day we could celebrate our anniversary. Hubby's schedule
has been crazy and I've been under the weather.
We made up for it.
We headed to Joe's Crab Shack in Tempe and indulged in crab stuffed
mushrooms, clam strips and steamed snow crab.
Then we took our new ghost hunting equipment to a local cemetery and enjoyed the beautiful weather and learned how to use the equipment. We haven't had time to analyze it all.
As we were sitting under a tree we kept hearing an owl. I walked around and
around that tree until I finally found him. For those of you who haven't noticed:
I have a lot of memories connected with owls. I have an aunt who has collected owls forever and her whole house is completely filled with them. I never got pictures of them but they filled the shelf under her coffee table and every other nook in the house. They were from all over the world and made of everything imaginable.
When my grandson was two they were living with us and he'd come in at night and sit on my chest and we'd sing and make animal sounds. My favorite of course was: What does an owl say?
Who Who Who
After shooting a bunch of stills I got out the other camera and tried to video tape him. I got him looking at me and all round and staring off into the sunset but I couldn't seem to get him Who-ing.
Just as I was giving up I finally got what I wanted.
When I was in Washington this summer I tried to explain to that same grandson that I don't know anything about his video games and although I'm glad he's so good at them I'd like to talk about something else.
So he kept asking me all about owls. What their eggs look like, how big they are, what they eat, etc.
He's getting a book about owls as soon as I can find one.
I also hope to be better prepared for his questions next year.
Do you have any owl memories?
Oh, and I almost forgot, for about a year we had an owl that loved to sit in the eucalyptus tree in our yard. He has since disappeared but we both loved to wake up and listen to him Who-ing.

Remember When: Wedding Day
We met at a disco. He had just gotten out of the Navy and I was in my senior year at ASU. So young, so many dreams.
We lived in an old rock house in south Phoenix which has since been torn down for a freeway. It was a wonderful old house with a fireplace and wooden floors. Later we bought our current house in north Phoenix and raised our daughter and a number of cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and even a horse.
Many of our dreams were put on the back burner and then eventually forgotten. We had our ups and downs but we hung in there.
Now our dreams are smaller. To watch our grandsons grow, to do a little traveling, to visit all the haunted hotels in our state. Our interests have changed sometimes growing apart and sometimes shared. We've met some amazing people and shared some stupendous experiences.
Some things never change. I still love white dress coats with black slacks. He still loves to wear flannel and we both live in jeans. Our favorite music stretches from rock (him) to New Age (me) with Western Ballads and Oldies in the middle. Even though we differ we usually have a central point where we meet.
How has your dreams and life changed? What things have stayed the same? Where does your gratitude lie?

Remember When: Critters
My sister had a way with critters. She always preferred their company over most people. Over the years she had horses, dogs, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and, well, I'm sure I'm forgetting some of them. (She hated cats and only allowed them in the barn but she did have them.)
I remember her in this position. Her forehead on that of an animal, talking softly, and making peace with the world. They always listened as if they understood every word and wanted her to know it.
She was like Ellie Mae from the "Beverly Hillbillies" except she reminded me more of Granny with all the spitfire and gumption. Betty wouldn't let anybody get away with anything.
At times it was embarrassing. Like in a store when she grabbed a salesclerk's tie and pulled him over to where she wanted to be to ask questions. She never got in trouble for that. I often feared for her but people seemed to take her in stride.
There was the time she went to the high school band room with her grandson and saw one of those kids with his pants down around his hips. I was told she went right up to him, pulled his tee-shirt up and told him to get a belt.
I think she shocked them so much they just went along. But, nobody ever came back and filed a complaint or anything.
Yeah, my Sissy was a handful. I often wish I had her gumption and strength to do the things she loved. Besides all her critters she was an amazing artist. In high school she was selling oil paintings. She could etch on glass and ostrich eggs, she did ceramics, and amazing pen and ink drawings her entire life.
Most of all she loved her critters. Especially the goats and dogs. She had to give up the horses and eventually the goats because of health problems but there was always a dog at her feet.
Is there somebody in your family or friend list who had a way with critters?
Write a story about them.

Remember When: Yearbooks
When you come across fellow classmates do you run to look them up? Or flip through the pages to find a face to go with a memory?
I love my yearbooks and they have a choice position on my shelf. I was on the yearbook staff in high school and college so there is that added connection.
Friday night I met two energetic and fun author's: Chris and Bev. After talking for a bit Chris and I realized our families came from the same tiny town in southwestern Kansas. Further "do you know?" questions led to the fact that people with her maiden name married into my family a couple of generations before the move west. So we may or may not be cousins.
Over the weekend I dug out my mother's 1941 yearbook. She was a senior in that tiny little town. So was Chris' father.
This yearbooks isn't just for the high school. All classes are in this slim volume. Some of my aunts and uncles are on the other pages.
There's my beautiful mother second from the bottom. She wasn't on the yearbook staff but the girl shown below her was. I won't point out Chris' father but he's up near the top of the page. They were both in the glee club and in band.
I have a really hard time imagining my mother as a teen. I don't know if she had a job or helped out at home with her five younger siblings. Her grandmother ran the switchboard in Fowler for many years. Her father became a barber. Chris' father or grandfather was a barber (perhaps both.) Her family also owned the ice cream parlor.
I'm sure Chris and I will have many stories and hopefully some photos to share.
You just never know when this small world will shrink right onto your own doorstep.
Do you have similar stories? Have you imagined your parents as teens?
The possibilities for memories and stories are endless when you use your yearbooks as a memory jogger.

Art Journal Fun
That is one of the wonderful things about these journals. Nothing is right or wrong. It is just how you feel at that time. I've gotten away from the layers and layers of paint, paper, stencils, tape, stamps and anything else that comes along.
I've learned and adapted this technique which I learned partly through my friend Barbara and partly through a couple of on-line classes taught by Kelly Kilmer.
Kelly calls this "painting with paper." I find this technique more restful and certainly easier to do when on the road.
Basically with a couple of magazines, bits of left over paper from other projects and some gel pens I'm ready to go. Oh, some scissors, a glue stick and a glue tape runner.
For this project I was simply working in a Canson multi-media art notebook. It has heavy paper meant for "regular" art journaling but I like the spiral binding. I've also done this in books I've stitched myself and, well, any book I like.
I put one large picture from a magazine down and then start adding stuff on top.
A focal point, stickers, washi tape, and finally pen.
I did these first few pages while at my daughters and soon my grandson had his spiral book out and was doing his own pages.
You just never know when a memory will be made.
The one thing I'm carrying through this book is making a quote or saying with some plain word stickers I'd picked up at JoAnns. The page above became "life is a journey."
This page grew out of thinking about things I like and want to do. You can see all kinds of cutouts from magazines, stamps, scrapbook papers, and some artwork. Whatever happened to be in a folder I had with me and a magazine.
(I really like working from magazines about flea markets and thrift stores.)
This one got a bit whimsical. Mostly because it just wasn't coming together. That's okay.
The butterfly sticker on her nose topped it all off.
I did this page after I got home and had a little more to work with. Whimsy, fun. It came from losing some friends last month and facing a bit of my own mortality. Sad, yes. But I'm not going to let my inner child fade away with sadness. The friends I lost and certainly the friends I see now wouldn't want that.
So gather some paper, tape, glue, stickers and anything else that strikes your fancy
and go have some fun.
Let YOUR inner child play.

Remember When: Summer Casualties
My grandparents lived in a small Kansas town where most everybody had huge gardens and the farms rolled right up to the edge of the property. I don't remember if Grandma had a ringer washer but we did at that time. Laundry day was a big job but those sheets and pillowcases strung out in the Kansas sun smelled so fresh.
I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. They lived in another town. Mom would drive me there and leave me for a few weeks and then come back and get me. I loved to explore and seldom wore shoes. I stepped on many a bee and rushed in crying to have grandma put a poultice of baking soda and water on the area to "draw the stinger out." I also had more than one run-in with red ants.
Stubbed toes were common, still are. I got a good one on the bed leg this weekend. Also splinters and other vicious pointy things. It was all part of growing up.
So was a family laugh over some little thing that would have been forgotten if somebody hadn't grabbed their camera.
Do you remember childhood injuries from going barefoot?
Do you remember a grownup doing something completely unexpected?
Do you have an old photo that needs the story to go with it for future generations?

Remember When: Thoughts
Saturday was my niece's fiftieth birthday. Or it should have been. We lost her way too soon. Here's Jackie in the first four generation photo in the lap of my grandma. My mother is next to her and my sister standing. They are all gone. My niece's daughter pointed out that I am now the matriarch of the family. That was really a strange thought to me. I don't feel strong enough to live up to these women.
This post is about my niece. She was 9 years my junior and as we got older became as one. We were so close in so many ways. Through my teen and college years and her growing up years I missed a lot but as she got older we bonded in special ways.
When Mom and I moved to Arizona she apparently gave it to my sister. I didn't know that and as an adult I bought a replacement at an antique store. There were so many memories of making up those little stories and losing myself in them.
One day Jackie and I were in Prescott and we came across another one. She told me about doing the exact same thing as she was growing up. We bought her the third version. Sometime later we were telling my sister we found one and she said, "That ugly thing? I have it. You could have had it if I'd known."
I don't know where the original is or even the third one but I still have mine on the shelf over the television.
As time went on Jackie and I found we both loved history, Reese's peanut butter cups, Pepsi, writing, and so much more. We'd spend hours watching Elvis movies and eating those peanut butter cups and drinking Pepsi. We'd laugh over the smallest things. Often only a knowing look between us would set us off.
I miss her very much, but I'm glad to have the memories and to be able to share them.
Write about a special person in your life. Or a special object that nobody else seemed to care about.

Remember When: Ice Cream
This one makes me smile because of the pure devilment in her eyes. I'd hate to be the person on the other end of that look. lol She never lost that look; it just got more intense.
I'm not sure that is an ice cream cone in her hand, may be a candy bar, but I decided to write about ice cream. I don't remember having a lot of ice cream growing up. There was a Dairy Queen across from the park in town and also a Tastee Freeze a few blocks from our house. Oh, and the A&W with root beer floats. sigh
Now it's everywhere and there are so many flavors it seems impossible to decide on a favorite. I think back then there was chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. And Neapolitan: the combination of the three in sections. Usually my favorite because I wasn't never good at making decisions.
My favorites now are chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip. Matter-of-fact when I was carrying my daughter mint chocolate chip ice cream was my primary craving.
I also love Ben & Jerry's. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and sometimes Cherry Garcia.
Ice cream isn't spurring any major memories except going to my cousins and watching them make ice cream with a hand crank machine. I don't remember if I helped, except when it came to the eating part.
I just got a memory flash of my sister in high school with a big bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. We must have had it more than I thought. Do you remember the Hershey Syrup in the cans that had to be opened with pointed can opener and then we never quite knew what to do with it.
As always, once the memories start they lead to more and more memories. Write about your favorite ice cream as a child and now. Did you use Hershey Syrup? Did you have homemade ice cream? What other memories do you have?

Travel Log: Home Again
Just a few photos from my three-day drive home. I left Yakima Tuesday and traveled through Oregon, Idaho and into Nevada. There was a lot of construction in Nevada and I had three long waits while flagmen kept us in line. The times did allow for photos.
I didn't plan on spending another night in Pioche but I did want to stop and see if the Lincoln County Museum was open. It was. It is stuffed full of cool stuff.
While I was in side (about 30 minutes) a storm hit with hard rain and hail.
The thunder in the mountains was terrible.
My poor little car was fighting to stay in place.
So I stayed another night at the Overland Hotel.
This was my room. Isn't it lovely?
No strange experiences this time.
I was up early and on the road.
Finally back in Arizona.
The Joshua Tree National Forest.
And home to my Maggie.
I have a lot more to share but for now I'm unpacking, playing catch-up and resting.

Travel Log: Homeward Bound Day 1
As much as I love to travel to Washington and see the kids I'm always glad to head home. I got lots of big hugs to held me over until I get home.
Today was a beautiful day as I cruised through Washington, Oregon and Idaho. I'm just north of the border with Nevada. I took a slightly different route and the scenery was gorgeous. I didn't get any pictures because it was getting kind of dark by that time and a storm is coming in.
So I'm settled for the night.
I just talked to Hubby and the Phoenix area is flooding so I have a feeling tomorrow will be a long, wet day. Thankfully my little car handles it all well.
Again I tried to imagine what it was like to travel the Oregon Trail which I crossed a few times as I headed southeast.
I did take some photos at a rest stop in Oregon. It overlooked the Snake River at one of it's narrower points.
Stay tuned for Homeward Bound Day 2.

I also snapped some of the surrounding countryside. The mountains go on through
the entire northeastern corner of Oregon..
Sometimes as I topped a mountain and looked over the valley to the next rise I felt overwhelmed.
I can't imagine those pioneers topping a mountain after using drags and ropes and chains to get up there only to have to use them to get back down and then do it over and over again.
My family came to Oregon much later and probably had trains at least part of the way.
My husband's family came on the Oregon Trail in the 1850s and 60s.
One of them went to the goldfields in California first and then on to Oregon and then Washington where his family finally met him. They had stayed behind in Missouri while he traveled the West.
So many amazing stories.
Stay tuned for Homeward Bound Day 2.

Travel Log: Goldendale, Washington
Jessica and I are in Goldendale, Washington for the weekend. We have seen some beautiful things,
such as the Yakima River.
The Presby Mansion and historical society museum.
I did NOT go up the three stories of stairs. I stayed on the ground floor and did some research while Jessica mounted the stairs and took some photos.
I learned some more about the Martin and Beeks families who settled in this area.
Dinner at an old saloon. Fantastic hamburger.
Then we walked around Main Street and found some really odd things like a
plastic gorilla and a playing card stuck to the side of a building.
And a thrift store.
The sign says "Chester drawers w/single bed . . ."
And some teens in the back who found some old matches in a box and thought it would be fun to light them.
Tomorrow we head for the old family cemetery and then back up to Yakima.
Stay tuned.

Travel Log: Back to School
Most people look forward to Christmas or even Halloween.
My favorite time of year is back-to-school.
Especially when I can take the boys shopping.
Each boy had a day with Grammy. A shopping spree for school supplies
and lunch at Red Lobster.
We also take walks and watch for yard sales. No yard sales yet.
We'll try again this weekend.
Then it will be time to head home.
Stay tuned.

Remember When: Family History
There are as many reasons for starting the search in family history as there are . . . well, genealogists.
Actually, many start for the same reason I did. They didn't know one or both parents or didn't have a chance to know other family members. I started my quest to learn about my dad but it didn't take long for me to get the genealogy "bug" and search for all my ancestors.
I have file drawers full of documents and copies of photos. I've tried to get it all in the computer
but I have had a couple of computer crashes and then got side-tracked.
Along the way I have found cousins: first, second, third and more, along with those many times removed.
This is a photo of my dad's family. I don't remember ever meeting any of them except the lady on the far right, my great Aunt Nell. I think that is my dad in the back row, fourth from the right, his head poking up above everyone else.
I do know that is my great grandmother in the wheelchair and her husband seated to her left. That may be my grandfather in the hat and grandmother to his right. Not sure though.
This photo is much later. There's my dad front row, second from the left.
He is the handsome one holding the little girl in the bonnet: my sister.
This is my cousin, Linda, who I met a couple of weeks ago
when she came to Arizona for a wedding.
Linda is on the left. We had a great time sitting over tea at Starbucks
talking and talking as if we'd been friends our whole lives.
She remembers seeing me when I was tiny. She talked about my dad having a beautiful bass voice. He stayed with her family for awhile after he and my mother split up.
Have you started your own genealogy? What interests you about the search?
Have you found some unexpected relatives? Have you been able to meet any of them?

Travel Log: Nevada, Idaho, Oregon
After leaving Pioche I traveled on up through Nevada in to Idaho. It rained most of the way.
Flat Stanley was glad for the occasional breaks.
I passed over the Snake River and the Powder River. The book I am reading is the journals of a guy who traveled west during the Civil War. He eventually settled in Montana. Even though it wasn't the exact same area he wrote about the Powder River and what it was like traveling by wagon.
I was really glad for my little car and hotels at the end of the day.
On entering Oregon I stopped at a rest stop and took a photo of this sign.
Oregon has the best rest stops and visitor's centers.
The scenery of northeastern Oregon isn't what you would expect.
The view across the highway from the rest stop.
I also crossed the Oregon Trail.
Then the Columbia River which never ceases to amaze me. It looks like a long lake.
I think a lot about history and my ancestors as I drive.
I compose articles and stories. I just hope to get them on paper.
Tune in later for more about my travels in the West.
