11 Extravagant Pendant Lamps To Finish Up With
On 12, Jul 2013 | No Comments | In Interior inspiration | By Kevin
The pendant lamp is a real classic in the world of lighting. You can find it in almost every home above the kitchen or dining table. A pendant lamp is a really eye-catching piece in an interior and as such is rather more than something purely functional. There is a huge selection of suspension lamps. You can find them in all sorts of shapes, colours and materials. People who are looking for unique pendant lights with a special design will be able to find just what they're looking for when they come to us. We have selected 11 extravagant pendant lamps from our range for them. We should warn you in advance; they are ravishing but come at a price.
Terzani Atlantis
If Poseidon were to have a throne room, then you would find Atlantis by Terzani in it. This lamp's name suits it right down to the ground: the hundreds of metal chains which are incorporated into the lamp are reminiscent of running water.
Did you know that together these chains measure 4km (!) in length? What's more the Terzani Atlantis is handmade – a feat that requires more than 20 hours of handiwork. In order to highlight the unique character of this lamp every finished model is given its own unique identification number at the end of the production process.
Is this model too ordinary for you? No problem –this extravagant pendant lamp is available in bronze or gold as well!
Moooi Raimond
In 2012 Moooi lost one of its best designers; Raimond Puts. Two years previously he had presented the firm with this iconic lamp, which he promptly gave his own name to. In 2010 the design was awarded the prize for the best home product in the Sanoma Woon Awards.
The largest version of Mooi Raimond consists of 1212 LED lights in the shape of a metallic ball. The transparent lenses ensure that the light is diffused in all directions. The structure of the lamp is reminiscent of a star. The accompanying slogan, "you can look at the universe even when sitting indoors", was chosen for a reason.
Luceplan Hope
If there is any truth in the saying "diamonds are a girl's best friend", then all of womankind will fall for Hope by Luceplan. The polycarbonate lenses make this lamp look like a sparkling diamond.
This is once again a great example of a modern pendant lamp. It is the result of the creative mind of a talented designer and modern technology. Luceplan Hope is a very popular design which goes some way to explaining why it has bagged three design awards (Reddot Award, Good Design and Compasso d'Oro). This pendant light clearly deserves its place on this list.
Verpan Fun
Verner Panton is considered to be one of the most influential Danish designers of the 20th century. He designed all sorts of products including tables, chairs and even wallpaper. One of his creations is this Verpan Fun Mother Of Pearl in which the imposing Verpan Fun 8DM is undoubtedly the crown jewel.
This lamp is made up of a cluster of mother of pearl slices which hang from the ceiling with the aid of metal chains. Even when it isn't on, the Verpan Fun still looks great – the mother of pearl shells provide a constant and subtle dazzle. It's not just a delight for the eye, but also for the ear. With the slightest breath of wind the shells gently knock against one another producing an extremely relaxing sound.
Louis Poulsen PH Artichoke
This model is a real classic in the world of designer lighting. Poul Henningsen designed it for the Langelinie Pavillonen restaurant in Copenhagen in 1958. The design was so popular that it has been crowned the most copied lamp in the world.
The PH Artichoke consists of 72 'leaves' which are positioned in such a way that the lamp doesn't produce any blinding light. The result is an attractive diffused light with a unique pattern. Each and every lamp is handmade, which means it is of an extremely high quality.
Flos Zeppelin
Flos is an Italian manufacturer of designer lighting. The firm was established in 1962 by Cesare Cassina and Dino Gavina and is known for its popular designs. We couldn't possibly have left the Flos Zeppelin off this list.
This pendant lamp consists of a steel frame enveloped in a special resin. A metal structure in the shape of candles, subtly visible through the casing when it is on, can be found inside this 'cocoon'. Flos has literally given the classic chandelier with candles a new look. Find out more about the intriguing Cocoon technique in the film below.
Foscarini Supernova
The Supernova by Foscarini is a pendant lamp which goes with every interior. The design is made up of a series of aluminium slices which produce a different light effect depending on the positioning of the lamp. From some angles the internal source of light is almost completely visible, from other angles you obtain a softer light.
The Foscarini Supernova is available in three different versions; polished stainless steel, aluminium with a matt finish or lacquered aluminium.
Flos Nebula
"They emitted from a core like an explosion of light, like a star in the sky." – Joris Laarman
Joris Laarman is a designer from Amsterdam. He has created the Nebula, a pendant light consisting of a number of glass cones for Flos. These cones are actually based on an ordinary lampshade. Then he started playing around with lampshades in different sizes and suddenly got the idea of combining them. The result is this Flos Nebula.
Dark No Fruit
If while reading this Article you get the impression that designer lighting only comes from abroad, then you are wrong. Dark, a firm from Maldegem, keeps Belgium's honour intact with its 'No Fruit' suspended lamp. In 2004 and 2005 this design won all sorts of design awards, including the Good Design, Design Plus and iF Award.
Just like Poul Henningsen (designer of the PH Artichoke), designer Anthony Duffeleer takes his inspiration from nature. No Fruit is a lamp with an organic shape which gives off a warm, diffused light. This modern suspension lamp uses coloured light to give a personal touch to your interior.
PS: No Fruit Bling Bling a model with 960 crystals was made in collaboration with Swarovski for the 5th anniversary of the brand.
Terzani Soscik
In the domain of designer lighting few look as luxurious as this 'Soscik' from the Italian brand Terzani. The designer, Nicolas Terzani, designed this chandelier by draping metal chains over a nickel frame. It is a modern interpretation of a traditional lamp that can be placed just as easily in a classic as in a contemporary interior.
Artemide Mercury
Few pendant lamps look as futuristic as this Mercury by Artemide. It consists of a series of metal 'stones' suspended below a simple aluminium disc. The reflective stones reflect the light, thus creating a unique effect. The Artemide Mercury looks good during the day too – when it bears more resemblance to a work of art than a light installation.
That's all for our selection of extravagant pendant lamps. Be sure to take a look at the rest of our collection in the web store. With more than 2000 models you are sure to find the perfect pendant lights!

Need "Frozen" party food ideas!
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 05-12-2014 - 11:10am
Hi guys! My little one is turning 3 next month. We're having a Disney Frozen party. I need some suggestions for easy finger foods in a Frozen theme (those not acquainted, this is Frozen). For the goody bags I've already got my eyes on rock candy (frozen ice) as one item. LOL But I'd like some food-food ideas. They will all be about 3-5yrs old, but we will have adults there too. They will have pizza as their main thing, but I was hoping for some snacky finger foods that both adults and kiddos would like. Any thoughts?
The party is not going to be at the house, but at a bowling alley, so it should be portable and probably not something that would need to be cold the entire time.
|Mon, 05-12-2014 - 2:37pm
Since you want to honor the "world" of Frozen, which in the real world would be NORTH, how about open sandwiches? These need not be "real" Danish open sandwiches, which, altho beautiful, are frequently an aquired taste, but a friendly variation on that theme. Call it a "Smorgasbord".
Look for appetizers where the ingredients pretty much "stick" to the sandwich bottom, without a lot of toppings or sauces. Here are some ideas...
http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/apple-sandwiches.html Instead of covering these, serve open face.
http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chili-cheese-ball-spread Make the spread and "pre-spread" on crackers, garlic rounds, or taco chips
You can spread garlic rounds with horseradish sauce, and top with rare roast beef
Spread grahams with peanut butter, top with banana slices
Spread grahams with Nutella, top with mini marshmallows

I had a Frozen party for my son and we made Kristoff ic blocks with blue jell-o. Big hit with kids! You can also do Sven's reindeer food with Chex mix, pretzels and m&ms. Then,there are build your own Olafs (put 2 big and 2 small marshmellows, 5 mini chocolate chips, 2 pretzel sticks and an orange Reese's in a plastic bag). There are also Melted Olafs, where you label small water bottles with "Melted Oflaf; because some people are worth melting for". I made the labels and used double sided tape to put them on the bottles.

Hi I just saw someone on FB post about a Frozen party and one cute thing they did for dessert was have a bowl of powdered donut holes as snow balls. You may or may not want to tempt fate with powdered sugar, but I thought it was cute.
I like the build a snowman/Olaf idea - and what about just putting out some carrots (noses) and thin pretzels (arms) too?
I can't think of any food-food related but since Anna and Elsa love chocolate, what about a chocolate fondue in a crock pot? Somewhat portable I would think? Or you could make it be. That would be something nice/neat for the adults at the end. I found this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/slow-cooker-chocolate-fondue-recipe.html - the comment at the bottom mentioned she brought the fondue somewhere and it was still a hit so it could work for you.

I don't have a lot of time but WOW! Holy Batman - what a fight. Ragan and Rachel both looked bad, IMO. The pretzel message was pretty smart, I liked it. Finally, some really good sab tricks!
Do you think Matt will really put up Enzo instead or was that just a big tease and he'll play it safe by putting up Brit or Kathy?
|Thu, 08-19-2010 - 7:31am
Well to start with the PB...sucked. They 'showed' Rachel and made him think they would be together for awhile...then NOTHING. What would they have used if Breaden wasn't HOH??
I loved the mess from Rachel, that was great! BUT WHY DID SHE SHOW KATHY?? OMG why!
Saying that...WOW the cat fights!! Ragen sucked big time! he jumped Rachel the sec she walked in! But they didn't really show us what Rachel did to him.
I really hope that Matt puts up Brit....why....Well the next HOH is going to be some kind of "quiz" and she is very good at them. Where as Kathy will suck again! This will give one of the other guys to get it!
I just HOpe Hope that Ragen doesn't get it! Please!! don't let that happen!!
I really hope that Hayden or Lane gets HOH....that would be good. Then I know who ever gets it will put up Breaden. I keeping sending him get the veto vibes!!
|Thu, 08-19-2010 - 9:56am
I totally agree. Rachel started all that crap ages ago, but Ragan never had a chance to stand up for himself since pissing off Rachel pretty much meant you were evicted. Now that she couldn't do anything to ruin his game, he finally had the ability to tell her exactly how he felt, and he was right. Other than the moment when he mimicked her, he actually kept his cool very well and every word he said was the truth. Honestly, I think Rachel deserved it. He was right, she treated everyone like crap, and look what it got her. Evicted, no friends. I LOVED the fight, I was like FINALLY somebody gets to tell her off. Hopefully she learns something from it. At the end it looked like she was contemplating his words, so hopefully she does take some of them to heart. Ragan was a so-so player in my mind up until this point, but now he's practically my favorite. Huge props for Ragan, I hope he wins favorite player for that one. :)
Ooooh, its going to be an exciting week. My only hope is that he doesn't replace himself with Brit, and so far, my bets would be on that. :(

Christina Hendricks' Breasts Looked Like This At The Emmys
Christina Hendricks at the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. (September 18, 2011)
With all that money, you'd think she would buy a better hairpiece. I mean lord, I know of loads of places where you can get better ones with a realistic looking part. Also, those implants are a bit insane.
How do they do that? It's like they're always levitating. Eerie.

The use of corrosion resistant and lower density composite has made it one of the choices for this weight sensitive application. Structural analysis was done in this research on the suitability and reliability of the composite for the hovercraft hull base by using NASTRAN/PATRAN software. The future recommendation in constructing the base hull prototype from composite was supported by the results from this analysis and simulations of the composite usage. The finding supported the fact that weight played a significant role in designing a hovercraft as the hull must be strong to withstand the pressure applied yet still remain light.

Mouse ears or keggers? Spring break destinations abound
What warm-weather spring-break destination is right for you? USA TODAY's Laura Bly , Jayne Clark and Kitty Bean Yancey check out seven hot spots and uncover what's new and happening.
Best for: Party-minded students, wallet-watching families and couples
Why go: Great beaches, lively local culture, drinking age of 18. Some go for the local marijuana (ganja), which is, illegally, hawked to tourists. A more legit reason is an abundance of all-inclusive resorts, from those costing less than $100 a day a person for all activities, meals, snacks and booze, to higher-end properties with villas and butlers. Sandals and SuperClubs are two pervasive brands, but even The Ritz-Carlton Golf and Spa Resort, Rose Hall has all-inclusive packages. Adults who want to sunbathe in the buff and check their inhibitions at the gate head to Hedonism II in Negril, which, according to its website, inspires "the kind of behavior people don't talk about in polite circles."
Don't miss: Negril's Seven Mile Beach, and its cliffs with divers and reggae music; the Blue Mountains (some say the best coffee in the world is grown here); climbing the terraced Dunn's River Falls if you can stand dealing with pressure from hawkers. Real Tours Jamaica takes visitors to the usual spots, but also has cultural options.
Information: 800-526-2422; visitjamaica.com
Cancun, Mexico
Best for: College students, families, couples — with 32,000 hotel rooms, Mexico's most popular resort destination accommodates a diverse clientele.
Why go: Wide, white-sand beaches and warm turquoise water; Maya ruins (the striking seaside archaeological site of Tulum is about an hour away); zip-lining over jungle scrub; swimming in cenotes (underground limestone sinkholes). About 20,000 college students flock here for spring break (the 18-year-old drinking age is a draw). By day, tour operators entertain the student set with beer pong and bikini contests. By night, they organize raucous parties, such as the Heaven & Hell Party at The City, a nightclub with a capacity of 5,000. If that strikes you as more hellish than heavenly, the city's tourism promoters are emphasizing upscale hotels and eateries (Cancun boasts four AAA Five Diamond resorts and three AAA Five Diamond restaurants). Making its debut this year: a food and wine festival March 15-18 featuring top chefs from seven countries (including Spain's Ferran Adrià), which targets an older, upscale crowd.
MEXICO FOR THE WARY: A guide to safer, popular travel spots
Don't miss: The Underwater Art Museum, a collection of dozens of concrete sculptures on the ocean floor not far from the shoreline. Scuba or snorkel among them, or view them from a glass-bottom boat.
Information: cancun.travel/en
Best for: Families, beach and nightlife lovers
Why go: Reliably sunny climate, lots to do, a range of accommodations from budget chain hotels to boutique lodgings such as the Solemar, The Pearl Hotel, W and Hard Rock Hotel (where Ashton Kutcher partied till dawn with a local lass just before the breakup of his marriage to Demi Moore).
Don't miss: San Diego Zoo, with its new "4-D theater"; SeaWorld and Shamu the killer whale; Torrey Pines State Reserve for beaches and hiking; whale-watching; the boardwalk at Pacific Beach; the USS Midway Museum; restaurants and clubs in restored 19th-century buildings of the downtown Gaslamp Quarter. The historic Hotel del Coronado of Some Like It Hot fame has just undergone a renovation and is worth a trip across the bridge to the Coronado peninsula, as are Coronado beaches and shops. Did you know that San Diego is a huge craft-beer destination, with three dozen local breweries? North Park is a brew hub, with locally brewed beverages served at establishments along 30th Street.
Information: 619-236-1212; sandiego.org
South Padre Island, Texas
Best for: A kegger crowd, particularly during Texas Week, March 10-17
Why go: Known as one of the South's most economical spring break spots, "SPI" is within a day's drive of Houston and Dallas. The barrier island is compact enough to explore without a car, and a free shuttle provides regular transportation around town and across Laguna Madre to Port Isabel.
Don't miss: Beach parties with DJs, contests and drink specials at both the Isla Grand Resort and Clayton's Resort Beach Bar & Grill, March 7-24. A draw for celebrants who want more thrills than the alcohol-fueled variety: tandem skydiving at $220 a person.
Information: 800-767-2373; whosyourpadre.com
Panama City Beach, Fla.
Best for: College students who want plenty of company in what's billed as the "Spring Break Capital of the World"
Why go: Two years after oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill came ashore along Florida's Panhandle, the beaches are better than ever, thanks in part to the recent completion of a $16 million project that pumped extra sand to about 7.5 miles of Panama City Beach shoreline, extending it by 100 feet in many locations.
Don't miss: On March 6, local organizers will try to smash the Guinness World Record for "World's Largest Bikini Parade" (current champ is Australia's Gold Coast, where 357 women strutted last year) by hosting a lineup at Harpoon Harry's restaurant. Rules are, well, skimpy: Bikinis of all styles and colors are welcome, though tankinis, one-piece suits, shorts and cover-ups don't count.
Information: 850-233-6503; pcbeachspringbreak.com
Best for: Families with an affinity for mouse ears, butterbeer, splash zones and colorful plastic bricks
Why go: Though crowds can be intense at theme-park central (the Orlando area expects a record 54 million-plus visitors this year), mild weather in March and April is a strong draw.
Don't miss: At Walt Disney World Resort, the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland is doubling in size; Phase 1 of Storybook Circus opens by late March. Universal's newcomers include a 36-hole miniature golf course at CityWalk and an upgraded Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure, both opening in early March, while SeaWorld Orlando's "TurtleTrek" exhibit — the world's first 3-D, 360-degree domed theater with live turtles and manatees — makes its debut April 27.
Information: 800-972-3304; visitorlando.com
Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
Best for: Party-hearty students eager to bare some skin
Why go: Boating on Lake Havasu (though most students simply tie their rental pontoons together for a floating-dock party); the London Bridge, reassembled here brick by brick in 1971 as a gimmick with which to lure residents and tourists (it worked); affordability — the town promotes itself as offering "the most party for your money"; abundant sunshine — the dam-created lake is in the Sonora Desert lowlands. It rarely rains. Vendors at Koko Beach cater to the spring-break throngs with products and amusements such as bungee trampolining and, on March 24, the 2012 Lake Havasu AZ National Spring Break Eating Championship, featuring cheese fries.
Don't miss: The after-dark scene at Kokomo, overlooking the London Bridge. The four-level club has 21 bars, a swimming pool and lake views. In the not-so-cheap thrills department: Soar 20 feet above Lake Havasu at 22 mph via a water-powered jetpack, courtesy of Water Jetpack Adventure. A half-hour of instruction and flying time starts at $199.
Information: 800-242-8278; golakehavasu.com

Lexus LF-CC
2012 Paris Auto Show
Lexus LF-CC Concept - 2012 Paris Auto Show
This LF-CC concept is a midsize coupe that previews the next generation IS200 sedan. The big noise is the extravagant spindle grille, which will be used to identify future Lexus models. Whether these LED headlights make it through to the showroom, though, remains to be seen. | September 28, 2012
2012 Paris Auto ShowJust the Facts:
- The LF-CC previews the next-generation Lexus IS.
- A new inline four-cylinder is matched to a hybrid powertrain.
- Lexus will build a production rear-drive coupe based on this concept.
PARIS — After teasing it earlier this month, Lexus officially took the wraps off of the LF-CC concept today at the 2012 Paris Auto Show.
With an exaggerated spindle grille, complex bumper, exposed triple-LED headlights and highly stylized accent lines, the Lexus LF-CC is very much in the concept stage, with major refinements necessary for it to become a production model. And no doubt this is the basis for the next-generation IS. Previously we've caught this new IS testing with a GS-derived rear suspension.
The Lexus LF-CC concept is powered by a new Atkinson-cycle 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder with D-4S direct injection hooked to a water-cooled high-output permanent magnet electric motor. This new hybrid powertrain is slated to find its way into a production car very soon. Toyota did not mention efficiency or power, but is projecting fewer than 100g of C02 per 100 km and a power rating of 2 horsepower per gram of CO2. Let's just call that 198 hp then.
Lexus didn't give specifics, but said that this rear-drive coupe concept would make its way to production "in the near future" as part of "Lexus' commitment to create more engaging, inspirational vehicles through attractive design, a superior driving experience and advanced technologies."
Edmunds says: It looks busy in photos, but in the metal the design works.

This is a very handsome car! I could easily see this as a competitor to the BMW 3-series which is looking a little dull despite the recent re-design. If it handles well, gets good gas mileage, and has ~300 horsepower in top trim, I would definitely consider this over the Bimmer; at least its reliability would likely be better. Good job Lexus! Please bring it to market soon.Leave a Comment

Has anyone ever asked your opinion about a toothpaste to get your endorsement of it? Perhaps it was about a tech gadget, maybe even a certain kind of shoe? I think we all have been asked at some point.
Well, unless you were being paid by that brand, you probably thought to yourself, well, I should endorse this if I actually would use it, if I actually believe in it.
Pretty simple logic, if you ask me.
Well, we live in a world with very high sheen, a world of glossy surfaces and marketing messages crafted so tightly that you can't even find a single seam. We live in a world where it's easy to click to "Like" and show your support.
We live in troubled times. Our population won't stop growing, our oceans are going to shit, resources are diminishing, and our democratic institutions are questionable as ever.
It is during times like these that organizations and products, at all levels and sizes, begin to pop up to solve these problems with more intensity than before. We are here to help out! We are here to fix the problem. We are here to create solutions! are familiar lines that come from these places.
It's hard to distill what is an honest sentiment from a need to turn a profit. Perhaps this is nothing new, perhaps I am simply showing my age as I near the mark of forty, and perhaps, if you had known me at 25 years of age, you might have said, "Cesar, don't be naive. You should know better."
Well, I consider myself lucky to live in a country that is responsible for so much global change. I do not think America is bringing down the world or ruining democracy, though certain people in America certainly are.
What I really have a problem with are the snake-oil salesmen of this world, especially the ones wearing the shiny do-gooder badge. This permeates through the corporate and non-profit world, but also through the arts. If you look deep down inside the murky corners of a human heart, can we determine if that heart actually intends to do good? It's hard to know nowadays. It's easy to jump on the bandwagon and call something "green" or "democratic" or "fair trade." But do any of us actually try to find out the story beneath it, to see if these words are actually supported by actions and thoughts? Are any of us willing to completely challenge our frameworks to live differently and actually change injustices?
I certainly think we should try. It's not easy. And my suspicion is that the answers are not found in a board room, in an executive summary or the latest buzzword of hope for yuppies.
I have a feeling that real change is found in daily actions, in daily thought and deed. Coming out of the closet is no easy feat, and yes, I do think it gets better. But the real action is found when someone prevents bullying, when someone comes out to their workplace. Real change happens when we kick start the status quo and perform acts of civil disobedience. Real change comes from not relying on a model and philosophy of accelerated growth and endless profit.
Why would I be writing about this in my blog, you ask? Well, because I do think it's the responsibility of novelists to challenge the world through ideas. Lately I find myself thinking about the manuscripts I have written, and I want my novels to be truthful. I want my fiction to be truthful, and in turn, I want my real-life actions to be truthful. As I look at ideas I have tried to express in my stories, and I also look at choices I have made in years past, I believe that there is a long way for me to go. This isn't to say that I haven't been pursuing a place of truth, but I think I could have gone further with my ideas.
I have met many charlatans in my time, and I wish them well, but I also hope that truth wins out. However, I will not let my words misrepresent me. If I believe in you, I will say it. If I don't, I will not lie.
The core of good books is in this truthful sort of spirit. Some of the most transgressive novels I read as a kid still resound with me thanks to their keen eye on the world. Thank you Gore Vidal, John Updike, Clive Barker, Elena Poniatowska, Harlan Ellison and many more. Even if I just write silly stories about monsters, dragons and killer robots, I want to know that I pursued a truth in my writing. Using words to communicate with the world is powerful, and those of use who do it should wield this power without deceit. This post is a follow up about courage, and as I move further into "The Ocean Hunters," I want to strike truth like a pick axe striking ore, or a machete hitting bone.
And for those of you who have come into contact with me over time, if you have been deceitful about your true intentions, now you know why I am not at your side.

Why did you decide to come to UW-Eau Claire for college?
After I received my associate degree in liberal arts and sciences from UW-Baraboo/Sauk County, I applied to and was accepted at UW-Eau Claire, UW-Madison and UW-Oshkosh. I chose Eau Claire for several reasons. Both the UW-Eau Claire College of Business and the journalism program had excellent reputations. (I transferred here originally intending to major in journalism and minor in business management.) I preferred UW-Eau Claire's more personal, hands-on approach to learning. Finally, I was impressed with the wide variety of on-campus programs, clubs, and other activities available to students.
Why did you pick the major you selected?
Although I liked my journalism classes and was doing well in them, I realized I wanted something more. Simply getting a degree and getting out wasn't enough for me. I wanted to try something new and challenging. I decided to major in management because I wanted to manage a business someday.
What does success mean to you? How has UW-Eau Claire College of Business prepared you for success?
To truly be successful requires the tenacity to take on challenges and the endurance to master them. It requires awareness of natural strengths and talents, and the ability to apply them in any situation. Through perseverance and commitment, unlimited opportunities await.
The College of Business helped reshape my concept of what it means to be successful, and it has provided me with the necessary resources I need to realize my goal.
In your opinion, what role did/does CADE play in helping you achieve personal, academic and/or career success?
CADE has had a tremendous impact on me.
When I switched my major to business management, I took courses in areas that were totally new to me. In my first accounting class I thought I was staring at hieroglyphics. I started to lose focus and my academic performance began to deteriorate. In addition, factors outside of school nearly had me down for the count and I considered dropping out of college.
When the semester came to a close, I had to answer to Dr. Jack Hoggatt, the College of Business' assistant dean for student affairs. I thought I'd never see the light of day on campus again, but Dr. Hoggatt gave me another chance. He made me sign up for one of the CADE academic focus groups.
When I began going to the CADE focus group, I felt I was being disciplined for my grades. However, the experience helped me rethink my learning strategies and study habits. The student mentors were always available to help me study for exams and work through homework problems. They didn't provide the answers, but they showed me how to arrive at them. As a result, my grades went back up—way up from the previous semester. I even qualified to become a student mentor the following semester.
My experience with CADE was a blessing in disguise and a momentous life lesson. It helped me realize that failure is only a temporary setback. With the will to do better and the proper support system, anyone can be successful.
What tips and/or words of advice do you have for high school students coming to Eau Claire?
Be bold, try new experiences.
Get involved! Build a network of contacts who are as eager as you to have the best college experience possible. You will find kindred spirits by getting involved in campus activities—sports, clubs, student organizations—and by not solely hitting Water Street (no pun intended).
Don't hesitate to talk to your professors. They are incredibly helpful and always look forward to talking to students during office hours.

December 21 - 23
6-8 pm
(Note: the Garden will close at 5pm
and reopen for our event at 6pm)
McKee Botanical Garden is decking the Hall of Giants and trimming the palm trees with lights in preparation for its annual "Holidays at McKee" event taking place December 21, 22 and 23 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
Among the highlights of this year's holiday celebration will be the return of a vintage Wurlitzer band organ playing classic holiday music. The organ was a popular attraction at last year's event, and is back this year at visitors' request. Another returning favorite is McKee's G-scale model train.
This year, a fourth train has been added to the display which features 200 ft. of track on three levels, centered around a miniature town. For the past year, train volunteer Peter Tyson has been working on a number of enhancements for the elaborate display. Many of the buildings have been repainted and adorned with signs and accessories to elevate their realistic quality. A new bridge has been added along with a lighted clock and street lights, new cars, street signs and animals, all to scale. The sound of cattle 'mooing' will be detectable in this year's audio system. Also making its debut is a water tower that Tyson dedicated 30 hours to creating. The tower features several true-to-life details and a weathered appearance achieved by applying colored powders over the paint. Construction of the display at McKee is done all by hand, a process that takes approximately 200 hours. Tyson described the work as a labor of love, and stated, "It takes a lot of time to put the train display together, but it's worth it in the end. My reward is sharing it with others and seeing their reaction."
Tyson will act as conductor at "Holidays at McKee" and "Nights of Lights." Assisting him will be fellow train volunteer Eric Menger who built a new farmhouse and barn for this year's display.
In addition to the band organ and train display, other attractions will include holiday letter writing and visits with Santa, Mrs. Claus' Serendipity Candy Shop as well as thousands of twinkling lights and festive decorations displayed throughout the Garden. The Garden Gift Shop and Elizabeth's at the Garden Café will also be open.
General admission rates apply. For more information, please visit www.mckeegarden.org or call 772-794-0601.
"Holidays at McKee" is sponsored by YP Advertising Solutions, 93.7 The Breeze, and 97.1 Ocean FM.
(Note: the Garden will close at 5pm
and reopen for our holiday event at 6pm)

Mother nature is you host !
Welcome to Tuosist, on the Kenmare Bay
Ring of Beara, County Kerry.
|Ardea Castle
The ruins of Ardea Castle stand on a promontory overlooking Kenmare bay in the townland of Ardea in the centre of the parish. It was one of the three main castles of the O Sullivan-Bere clan. The O Sullivans were driven from Knockgraggon near Clonmel by the Normans in the 12th century and settled later on both sides of Kenmare Bay.....
From Tuosist to the National Museum
One of the biggest finds of Bronze Age metal artefacts - The Killaha Hoard - was found in a field in Killaha at the Kenmare end of the parish. They were found by James O Sullivan who was clearing rocks from his land. They were later acquired by the National Museum of Ireland where they are still stored. Accession numbers 1939: 388-396
Sèan Ó Súilleabháin
Sèan Ó Súilleabháin, poet and folklorist, and Tuosist native, was instrumental in the establishment of the Irish National Folklore Archives.
St Kilian - Patron Saint of Tuosist
The patron saint of Tuosist is St. Kilian, a native of Mullagh in Cavan. He worked as a missionary in Wurzburg, Germany where he was martyred and where he is still honoured. His feast day in on July 8 and a Pattern is still celebrated in Kilmackillogue (in Tuosist) on the eve of his feast.
The Cave of the Scribings
Pluais na Scríob - The Cave of the Scribing - located in the Caha Mountains, continues to baffle the experts. A wall of the cave, six feet high by twenty feet long, is covered with inscriptions in the rock which are not conventional Ogham writing. Much investigation remains to be done on the site before any satisfactory explanation is forthcoming.
The Landsdowne Estate
"The Landsdowne Estate in Kerry under the agency of William Steuart Trench 1849 - 1872" by Tuosist native Gerard J. Lyne, was published in 2001. This is a comprehensive and illuminating study, based on extensive archives, of the operation of the Landlord system in Ireland in the post-famine period.
Tuosist - The Name
The name TUOSIST comes from the Gaelic Tuath Ó Siosta or Tuath aes Iosta. Tuath was a community and the area they occupied. So the name translates roughly as The territory of the Soista or Iosta people.
Tuosist 6000
The book Tuosist 6000, first published in 1999, was compiled by the Tuosist History and Newsletter Committee. It's 50 articles over 230 pages provides an encyclopedic references on the history of the area and its people over the last 6000 years.
Tuosist in The Bronze Age
There is much evidence that Tuosist was occupied during the Bronze Age (2000 - 500 BC). The eight stone circles in the parish which were for ceremonial use, date from that period. They are spaced out over the whole parish from Cashelkeelty and Shroneburrane in the west to Dromroe in the east.
Tuosist Poets
Few parishes have such a rich heritage of poetry, especially in the Irish language, as Tuosist. For this we are deeply indebted to Sèan Ó Súilleabháin, scholar and folklorist, a native of the parish, who in the 1920s and 1930s collected and published the works of Tuosist poets

Absolutely, confidence must be a particular little piece of something in light of the fact that without confidence it is difficult to please God (Heb. 11:6). So confidence must pass through the information of God. That is the reason Romans 10:17 says confidence drops by listening to the Expression of God. The measure of confidence that you work in is specifically relative to the disclosure learning that you have of God through His Pledge.
Numerous individuals have thought that it was exceptionally hard to work in confidence. That is on account of they either don't have the true learning of God's Assertion in them, or they have neglected the Saying and be gagged by the information of the world. Trepidation delivers as promised coitus, pretty much as confidence and all things that relate unto life deliver genuine information. Most Christians today (even Soul filled Christians) are brimming with the learning about how to work in Satan's framework yet are truly insufficient in the information it takes to thrive in God's framework. Thus, it is not by any stretch of the imagination a confidence issue that exists, yet it is somewhat an Expression issue.
Galatians 5:22 expresses that confidence is a piece of the products of the soil of the Soul. Have you ever seen a plant battle to yield soil grown foods? Have you ever heard a vine groan and moan and grumble about that it is so difficult to create grapes? Obviously not! It's the way of a vine to deliver grapes. On the off chance that the vine is secured and given food, it will naturally create products of the soil, unless its starved or assaulted by some outside power. So it is with the Christian. Confidence will naturally be the result of our living in the Expression, which is Jesus (John 1:1, 15:1-7).
The issue has been that the learning of God's Assertion has not been staying in us, or the fornication with of the world has gagged the Expression of God that was there. You can't serve two bosses (Matt. 6:24). A twofold minded man is flimsy in all his ways. He can't get anything from the Master (James 1:7-8).
Matthew 6:22 provides for us the guarantee that if the eye is single, we will be loaded with light. That implies that if all your consideration is centered around God through His Word of honor, then the main thing that you will be loaded with is God and what His Assertion produces. This is a Spiritual text law that is rehashed in Romans 8:6, which says, "For to be lustfully minded is passing; yet to be profoundly minded is life and peace." In the event that we are encountering anything besides life and peace, it is on account of we are animalistically minded. You can't have life and peace without the information of God. Then again, you can't encounter any manifestation of death without the learning of the villain and his framework.
The sex that we stay upon in our thought lives is Satan's in-street to us. I am persuaded that one of the principle reasons that the first men that strolled upon this world existed to be as old as 969 years is on account of they didn't know how to bite the dust. They didn't even have a family until they were in excess of 300 years of age! They didn't realize that there should be an influenza season consistently. It took numerous years for Satan to sick person the information that was in man so he would acknowledge rout. The greater part of our fights could be kept away from in the event that we would simply be insightful worried that which is great and basic worried that which is detestable (Rom. 16:19).
Hebrews 11:15 says that if Abraham had been aware of the nation that he exited, he may have had opportunity, or may have been enticed, to have returned. Anyway, since he declined to think on Satan's learning, he couldn't be enticed to turn back. Acclaim God! In the event that Abraham could do it, we can do it as well. Second Corinthians 10:4-5 says we can bring each thought into bondage and under the compliance of the Master Jesus Christ.
Anyhow, since our psyches have as of now been grounded in the learning of this world, it is difficult to simply thrown that lusful personality out. You must be thinking on something. Romans 12:2 says, "And be not adjusted to this world: yet be ye changed by the replenishing of your brain, that ye may demonstrate what is that great, and adequate, and impeccable, will of God." Our brains must be replenished, and that is carried out by ruminating over the learning of God as uncovered in His Oath.
Your psyche is like a machine. It basically follows up on the learning put into it. In the event that all you have is sexual relations, then everything you can be is animalistic. In any case acclaim God, you can reinvent yourself with the Expression of God.
You are not unequipped for carrying on with a life of confidence. An incredible opposite, in the event that you have been conceived once more, you have as of now been given confidence as an issue of the apples and oranges of the Soul. Be that as it may, you can't work in it in the event that you don't have the foggiest idea about that its there or in the event that you don't have information of the laws that oversee it. The laws of the study of air have been in presence since creation, yet man didn't have learning of them up to this point. Numerous individuals laughed at the thought of flying, pretty much as numerous individuals disparage the confidence message today. They used to say, "If God implied for man to fly, He would have given man wings." We've seen that supposition demonstrated false. It wasn't God who was keeping us from flying, it was our obliviousness of the laws that represent flight. It hasn't been God who neglected to provide for us confidence, we have all been given the measure of confidence (Rom. 12:3), yet God's kin have been dying due to an absence of information of how that confidence functions.
Humankind didn't figure out how to fly overnight. There have been numerous disappointments, yet now nobody questions that the laws of aeromechanics work. You won't realize all the laws of confidence right away either, and you may fall level all over a couple times before you begin seeing confidence create as it ought to. Be that as it may, the law of confidence, which made everything, is a thousand times more beyond any doubt than the laws of flight science. The information of God and how confidence functions is covered up for you, not from you, in the Expression of God. Implore Ephesians 1:15-23 with me, as an issue to get the learning of God. Accept that you get, and watch confidence start to be created in your life.

Open Letter to the Community
To the Latino Community and Organizations of Maine,
During the last year El Centro Latino Maine has made big changes to its organization. As a member of several of its committees, I have been very proud to be part of this board. One of the changes has been a transition of leadership as Blanca Santiago steps down from presidency after six years of service as President. I am honored to be elected the President of the Board for El Centro Latino Maine, and I would like to say thank you to all of the members of Centro Latino for placing their trust in me as President so as to serve towards the interests of everybody within the Latino community.
As President, I promise to work hard for this growing community; I look forward to building relationships between our organizations and the community itself to find solutions on everyday issues. Let's build bridges to create better services, develop our culture, and continue with the good labor of our previous leaders.
On behalf of the members of the board of El Centro Latino, I want to express our promise to work for our people, and at the same time I would like to extend the invitation to every member of the community to come together for the benefit and good health of the Latino Community.
As President of El Centro Latino Maine, I wish to work with you to better opportunities for Maine's Latino community. I can be contacted directly at 207.239.6930 or email. I look forward to the many conversations we will have and work we will do together. Juntos venceremos; together we will overcome.

Centro Latino in the News: Dream Act Vigil for Selvin Arevalo-May 26th
MPBN: Portland Man Faces Uphill Fight in Battle for Legal Status – 05/26/2010
Reported By: Josie Huang
A national campaign is underway to allow some undocumented students to become permanent residents. In Portland, a 24-year-old man named Selvin Arevalo has become one of the faces of the movement. Supporters held a rally this afternoon outside Cumberland County Jail, where Arevalo, a student and house painter, is facing deportation after he was involved in a motor vehicle accident, and police discovered his illegal status.

We're happy to report that so far today, Peacomm and Mixor.Q activity is lighter than the maelstrom of activity we've seen in previous days. We've noted no new spam runs today, with the malware submissions and activity levels tapering off a bit as well. Phew! Our Security Response team in Pune, India, has pulled together a slick Flash-based run through of the attack, which can be viewed using the following URL:
Just a little more info on this threat you may have not heard before—it is communicating over peer-to-peer using the Overnet protocol and network (of eDonkey fame). After connecting to the network, the threat then searches for some particular hashes (searches are done by hash, not by specific filename) and eventually it receives a reply that includes some 'meta tag' information. The meta tag information is encrypted and contains information on where/what to download (e.g. Mixor.Q, Trojan.Abwiz.F). You can stay up-to-date on the outbreak alert for the Storm Trojan by visiting the Threat Advisory Center.

Supposedly a girl from my high school got drunk the summer after graduation (couple years ago), went to a party and was part of a gang bang that got filmed. Confirmed by a couple buds who were at the party or who saw it. I cannot find it. It is... it is my Moby Dick.

|Wednesday, February 18th, 2004
Blurty SAVE me!!
I can't write SHIT in my LJ anymore, too many people are watching me. I'm gonna simplify what's on my mind:
*Nick hates me
*I'm so ugly
*I should bleed to death
*I am a fat person
*I still want to die

|I want to die please.

My kitties got put down today.
Vampanez: :( If I get a kitty, I'll share it withyou. ::Nodnod::
NovartisTheClean: :)
Vampanez: You could even name it. And then whenever you come over, the kitty'll get to play with you and chill and meow and be all happy.
NovartisTheClean: Heehee
Vampanez: ^.^
Vampanez: Given, things could be worse...
NovartisTheClean: I guess
Vampanez: But... It'd have been worse if they were to just suffer even further.
NovartisTheClean: I know:(
Vampanez: ::Hugs:: Well, my kitty'll be your kitty too. ;)
Nick is such the best.

|The snow is so high. I'm watching Arlo outside, he's so cute. The snow's all the way up his legs. I'm hungry. The snow has drugs. This is exactly like what I just wrote in my LiveJournal. Which is now Friends Only. Hmmmmm food. Huuuuuuuungry. Okay later bye.
|Thursday, January 22nd, 2004
Hmm my head is bleeding.
Nothing's been happening lately. Boring. But I feel like updating, because I haven't in forever..
Ow my head hurts.
Okay so.. changing the background because Katiee doesn't like it. So what I'm whipped. ::sighs:: Alright later.
|Saturday, January 17th, 2004
|Gah LJ wasn't doing anything.. every time I went to log in it was like, 4o4'd!! Damnit.. Anyhow, ::sighs:: work was so so today. The barn was really slow, absolutly nothing was happening. It was Lauren's last day before she went back to work.. I can't say I'll really care. As funny as it is to watch her and Heather constantly tease each other and argue, Lauren doesn't like me. And for as sweet as she is on the outside, she doesn't do a very good job of hiding it. ::coughs violently:: I might have gotten sick from last night and today.. I've been really lethargic and whatnot.. probably because I've just been miserable recently with all the things going on that my energy is down, and then I've been in the cold a lot.. especially today I got wet from the hose and then it was freezing.. gah. I still feel really miserable and depressed, it's forcing me into things I don't want to do. I hate cutting. I hate bleeding for other peoples' problems. I hate this thing that's become of me. I hate myself. People pretend to care because it's the right thing for them to do.. I wish that people would just stop being so fake. I kind of need help.. it's just so hard to ask. I'm used to people making me do everything for myself. I'm used to being asked for help, not asking. It's so hard too, because I don't want like adults trying to get into this, because then I'll just get in trouble and psycho-analyzed and sent to therepists and shit. I don't want that.. they just make things worse. Like these fucking journals. These are supposed to make me feel better, right? They don't. Only thing these motherfuckers do is make me think about things more, and then they make me remember all the other bad shit that goes on. And I'm really sad. I want my deadjournal back, I want to be able to go back and read all of the thigns I wrote about suring the summer. I don't remember how I felt, I just know that I was depressed and bored and I cut my wrist so bad I couldn't tell what it was. I know I wanted to kill myself and kill Little Liz and kill Liz Pantani and kill the world. I wanted to kill my father and I wanted to hang out with Danny and I wanted to see George and I wanted to cry constantly. I wanted to do everything I can't do. I wanted to play polo and sleep out all my misery in my room, and I wanted to just bleed nonstop. My summer fantasy was to slash my wrists so deep that I would bleed to death, and before I died I wanted to walk downstairs to my family and start screaming at them that it was all their faults and that they had done this to me, that if I had never met Liz or Little Liz then I wouldn't have been pushed to this. It's really a shame that so young in my life I associated love and pain.. the only person I was ever in love with was Liz Pantani and she rejected me. She didn't like girls.. and suddenly she wants me back. I don't want to want her.. and I did for a while and I wanted to go to her. But then I learned about some of the things that she has done, and it completely turned me away from her. I feel like my only friends are Little Liz and Gabbie, and then people who don't live in my fucking same state.. Andrew and Aaron. Just because they listen to me. Aaron and Andrew surely get annoyed of me, but they're still there for me. I feel like they're my friends even though I've never met them. Everyone else just gets too annoying or caught up in themselves, and I just need to talk. I need to express everything and I need someone to cry with. The only current friends of mine that've ever seen me cry are Little Liz and Katiee, and that was just so terriable. I'm constantly on the edge of tears and sooner or later I'm just going to break down out of no where in the middle of like the mall or something. I almost did last time we were there, and I almost did last week at work.. No one takes hints either.. For art I made a wire sculpture and it's of someone fucking crying and no one notices I look like that nine of ten times. I go home and cry. It's not out of self pity, it's because I'm simply miserable. I can't express it, it's like there's constantly weights on me, on my heart and on my conscience. I can't make a fucking move without fucking up something else.. I could go on and on but then I'd just get more miserable.. so I'm gonna just try to let go or grab on..

I've been using my new LJ a lot so I haven't been here.. sorry about that one..
Go read it, it's a lot more interesting than this one. Anyhow,
SHiT I have nothing to say. Guess I'll just tell you about last night, and then post convos and quizzes.
So last night the house across the street caught on fire. I was like, Shit Maura the house is on fire. and she got up and she looked, and she was like, Shit the house is on fire. I got her to dial 911 and they were like, Yea we know already. Haha so like, we were watching it for a longass time, and then I went on Maura's screen name and started talking to people about it. It was sad though, Nicky got home [he lives there, he had just gotten off the bus] and he was like so confused.. he ran back and forth and then just broke down crying and I felt so bad.. He's like really on the edge and he doesn't have much. His dad is just.. brutal and this Christmas he was like so happy he got a PS2 or something and it's just.. gone. I mean.. I just feel bad for the poor kid. The fire got put out a few hours after it started, but what remained of the house was just dangerous, so they had to knock it down. K I'm done with that.

Not much recently. Just barn stuff. Polo Friday, which was good but freezing because there's no heat in the barn. I rode Pippin, who was really good and didn't throw me off --;; Then work today which was even colder but so much fun. The three of us [Heather, Jen, and I] were all just going nuts being crazy and stupid. I had to do wraps on like 39o57o39 horses because Heather is getting sick again and it hurts for her to bend over. Haha I walked in on Eileen changing in the tack room downstairs, and I was like,
E: That's okay Ker. Not like you haven't seen white cotton underwear before.
K: O, auctually I haven't.
E: You kids and your thongs. I don't know how anyone can wear one of those. I never would.
K: O really? I don't see why not.. maybe you should try it.
I heart you Eileen. Then at around 53o Nick came over. We watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail.. poor Nick; it was the first time he saw it. How deprived his life must have been prior to it. After the movie we were kinda hanging out and my father comes down, like What are you guys doing? Nothing Dad. O, really?? Two kids in a dark room, no television on.. Poop on him. Like, seriously. Why does he have to be so suspicious?? Either way, it was fun. Okay kiddies, I'm going to leave you with an arguement between Blinky and Shizawn.
Mantaray666: what an ass
NovartisTheClean: Me?
Mantaray666: no
Mantaray666: when did 'shovel' say 'pudding' to you?

Mantaray666: cause i said pudding to him like 100 times
Mantaray666: so, he stole it from me
Mantaray666: that asshat
NovartisTheClean: He's a loser sometimes
NovartisTheClean: RiSeOfXbRuTaLiTy: asshat!rofl!
RiSeOfXbRuTaLiTy: that's a new one
Mantaray666: my god
Mantaray666: DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO TAKE MY WORDS?
NovartisTheClean: Yes. ::shakes head::

My day was really excellent until I got home. Classes went by pretty easily, and English was auctually fun for the first time in months. Ms Cincotta auctually let me talk to her, and I was trying so hard to be nice. It made me happy. I told her that her sweater reminds me of my room [it was pink] and I just kind of enjoyed the class.
I went to the mall today afterschool with Maura. It was pretty good. I bought some pants [finally], the Soilwork cd, Blood and Gold [also finally], and.. uh. Gerbil food. Shut up. I had to get it, Kali's gonna starve otherwise. Then who would I talk to? No one.
|Wednesday, January 7th, 2004
Tooooo many surveys. I feel so exposed to you people. ::covers self:: Ahem. Anyway..
Well, nothing goes on in my life anyway, so.Yea. I just had to assure ya'll about the lack of surveys in the future.

|I talk to Morgan too.
Well, school today. It's so much fun getting out of bed at six.. especially when you went to sleep at 23o and woke up at 53o. My day wasn't really that bad though. Art was first period. It seemed to take a long time [well, 8o minutes is a long time for one class..], but at least it wasn't like a real class. Then at break I got to see everyone, which made me pretty happy. I was soooo overjoyed to see Pantani. I missed her incredably over the break. Like, I missed everyone, don't get me wrong. But I really only talk to like three people in school: Little Liz, Liz Pantani, and Gabbie. Well, I saw LL over the break and Gabbie wasn't in today. More on Gabbie later. So anyhow, I was just like, ::gasp:: LiZ!! ::sighs happily:: I loveth her. Heehee.. we had THE.BEST. conversation in the entire world at lunch. It was about bondage sex [heehee, finally someone who doesn't think it's weird!!], her gay uncle, and my neighbour ::slash:: her family friend. See, these are the kinds of conversations I just can't live without. Heehee. Weird she just IMed me. ::looks around suspiciously:: Liz?? Can you see what I see?? Hmm so.. Gabbie. Aparently, no one knows where she is. Please observe conversation with Liz:
made4mowhawks: umm not really
NovartisTheClean: That is very strange, is it not??
made4mowhawks: it is
NovartisTheClean: Hmm how queer.
made4mowhawks: lol
made4mowhawks: ha you said queer
NovartisTheClean: ::blushes:: I didn't mean it like that
made4mowhawks: lol
made4mowhawks: obviously
Yea. So.. I dunno. I heard things, but I don't know if they're true, so I'm not going to post them. Anyhow, I guess in Maura's study, she and Anna and this girl were talking about.something. I don't know how the conversation got started, but Anna said to the girl, Yea Kerry's boyfriend attacked her. and the girl was like, WTF really?! Haha.. Well.. it was from quite a while ago.. Like um maybe more than a week. ::blushes:: Long story. Condensed version is that the two of us were playing around a bit and I came home with bite marks. Haha so Maura goes to the girl, Yea he drew blood. ::dies of laughter:: Whatever. I just thought it was funny. The only reason I found out this conversation is because Meaghan said she heard something about vampires in Momo's study [they have the same study] and then I asked Maura about it. ::laughs again:: Yea, we're weird, the two of us.
PS Anna hates me ::jumps off cliff::
|Sunday, January 4th, 2004
Hmm okay hey readers. Nothing really goes on here anymore so the point of reading this has greatly diminished. Yesterday polo and work. Sounds like every other Saturday of my life. Things got mixed up a little when I rode the new polo pony, Artemis. That was really the only change from every other Saturday. She's good though, I liked her. I'm gonna ask Heather if I can ride her again. Maybe on.. Friday. Yea. Friday. Anyhow, I keep stressing this muscle in my arm. It really hurts, and takes about five days to go away. Then, of course, two days later I have to work again. It gets hurt, I play polo which makes it worse [especially for dribbling] and then I just don't pay attention to my well-being anymore. ::Shrugs::
Thanks to all for doing that survey about.. what? two entries ago?? Yea. Thanks again. I liked Liz Pantani's the best.. but she didn't post it. She just kinda IMed it to me. ::coughs up lungs:: I'm soooo not sick. Hmm. Looking to my right I notice that the 22 of this month starts the Year of the Monkey. I'm going to hate this year..
Well, Nick's coming over in less than an hour. We have nothing to do and my house looks like shit. Plus like everyone's going to be home. Including Devin. Ha. Phones.. Sorry. Inside joke con Nick. Ha, now I know five words in Spanish. Damn. I suck. Anyway, later.
|Friday, January 2nd, 2004
Polo was.. okay. Um. Here's what happened. Boys team from Yale: Krit, George, Brady. Girls team from Yale: Stephanie, Jeanette, me. First chukker was boy's team. UConn got five goals, Yale got two. Second chukker was girl's team. I rode Rosita, who kept jumping in the air and prancing in place. Annoying. She was hard to control. UConn got up to.. seven I think. Yale got to three. Third chukker was boy's team again, I don't know the scores. Fourth chukker, last chukker. I got on Pippin, and I was warming her up. [you should be able to tell by now that something bad is following] Cantering her down the far straight, made her speed up. As I was pulling her up [stopping her] she tripped on something or other. What basically happened was, her head went down while she was tripping, but I pulled her up to stop her. Do we see the conflict here?? She tripped, her head went straight to the floor, I lost balance. Lost my sturrups. Sommersaulted off her neck. Landed in the dirt. Crowd gasps. I looked around. Made sure the horse was okay. Got up. Heather yelled at me for moving before they checked me for 'spinal injury' which I don't understand why I didn't get. I tried to calm down Pippin, but she kept walking away from me. Finally Sarah, who was picking up, grabbed her. Heather freaked out, she was like, This is the first time you've fallen off, right?!?! No Heather, I've fallen three other times.
Anyhow, I'm okay. Just sore. I swore my helmet cracked when I hit the ground but it didn't. Final score was like, UConn 17, Yale four. ::shrugs:: Better than last year's 54 to two.. I'm in a fine mood about it.
I had gone to look at a pair of polo boots earlier that day, but didn't like them. Good thing I didn't buy them; Heather gave me her husband's old pair of boots because, he hasn't played in 15 years, quoth Heather. Yay. Heather's so cool. I love Heather. ^^
