My Girl's Got A Gun.
[Canada x Reader]
In this reader insert, there are mentions of Skeet Shooting. If yu don't know what that is, don't be alarmed. I was kind enough to go into detail about how my school does it, so you don't have to do extensive research on it.
Whoever told her that Ivan was scarier on the ice than Matthew was lying through their teeth. As [y/n] sat in the bleachers at the school's hockey game, she was the only one who saw the change in her best friend. Off of the ice, he was a shy teenage boy that no one paid any attention to. However, once he gets the hockey stick in his hands he's a completely different man. He has a fierce look in his violet eyes and anyone could tell that he was the star of the night- and to stay the hell out of his way.
This was his place to shine.
Seeing the change in his over all demeanor made [y/n] more excited than she should have been for a high school hockey game. She was jumping to her feet, cheering until her voice went hoarse, and supporting her usually shy friend. She was this way during football season when his brother, Alfred, took the center of the field as quarterback. It was something that they did on a normal basis.
With a final precise swing of the 'L'-shaped stick, Matthew scored the final goal of the night and bringing home the first win of the season. The team huddled together, cheering and boasting on how awesome they did. This was the first game of the year, and the same thing happened as last year. The cheerleaders and several female members of the school ran down to congratulate the team- more specifically the star of the night; Matthew.
Before, it hadn't bothered [y/n] much, but for some reason she wanted to run down and punch them all in the face. If they didn't have time for him off of the ice, they should keep their hands off of him no matter what, right?
Alfred, who was sitting next to [y/n], noticed her aura change from ecstatic to frightening.
"Dude, you okay?" He asked.
"Just fine." She replied coldly. The venom dripping from her words could be heard clearly even though her voice was barely a whisper, which was the effect of her screaming her face off.
Alfred, however, didn't seem convinced. He looked back down to the rink and saw everyone crowding Matthew, but thought nothing of it. It hadn't bothered her before. He sighed heavily and looked back to her. "You'll be at school tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah." She stated before exiting the isle. Without turning back to Alfred, she spoke once more to him. "No reason for me to skip. The Skeet Shooting finals are tomorrow."
His cerulean eyes widened slightly. He had forgotten all about it. But, as he watched her [h/c] hair bounce with every step she took toward the exit of the building, he realized he couldn't stop her to get more information. Slowly, almost begrudgingly, the hyperactive American made his way down to the center of all the commotion to retrieve his Canadian twin.
~~~~~~~Time Skip: That Night, At The Twins' House~~~~~~~~~
"Yo, dude! You remember what tomorrow is, right?" Alfred asked as he walked out of the steaming bathroom. He had just gotten out of the shower, and was only clothed in his American-flag print boxers with a bald eagle towel draped around his neck, when he asked his brother the question.
Matthew, having already taken care of all hygienic needs at this point in time, was sitting on the top bunk of the bunk beds and watching the YouTube video of the hockey game. "Ehh.. H-Hockey practice is the only thing on my agenda.. I-Is there something else I should be aware of?"
The hyperactive twin laughed loudly. "Guess you forgot like I did, eh Mattie?" He picked up his glasses, which he called Texas, and placed them carefully on his face to get a better look at his twin. "[y/n]'s Skeet Shooting finals are tomorrow."
Mattie's violet eyes widened considerably before he blushed heavily. "Y-You're right.. H-How could I have forgotten something like that!"
Al gave a quick nod. "I know. That's what I thought." Running a hand through his damp hair, he sighed heavily. "She's always there for us, cheering us on and loosing her voice. I don't remember one time that she missed one of our games."
The older, yet much shyer, twin nodded. "Sh-She even came to a game last year sick.. Two of them."
"Dude, even if we can't audibly cheer, we have to go." Alfred said, almost cutting the quieter male off. "You're probably going to hate me for saying this, especially since you have that huge crush on her-"
"But when she's holding a gun and has that 'serious business' face on.. And is even able to take down moving targets.. That's freaking hot." Al finished, acting as though he was never interrupted by his brother in the first place.
Matthew glared harshly at his brother, and if looks could kill, Alfred would be dead a hundred times over.
"O-Oh.. Em.. W-Was she there? T-Tonight, I mean.." The Canadian asked quietly. "Sh-She didn't come congratulate me like she usually does.."
"Speaking of which!" Alfred proclaimed loudly, standing on his bottom bunk and looking at his brother while holding himself up with the gate of the top bunk. "She seemed really pissed at you, dude. What'd you do?"
Matthew's face turned from sad to shocked and back to depressed in under five seconds. "Wh-What did I do? I-I dunno.. I-I can't remember doing anything to her.."
Alfred picked his phone up and sent a speedy text to [y/n]. 'Yo dudette, wanna spill y u were so mad tonite?' After hitting the send button, he looked to his brother and winked. "I'll find out for ya, then!"
If there was one thing that Matthew knew better than anyone, it would be how his brother's plans almost always backfire. "N-NO! I-I mean if she's m-mad.. J-Just don't say anything to make her even m-madder at me.."
"Gotcha!" Al shouted and fell onto his Bald Eagle quilt on the bottom bunk of the bunk bed.
[y/n]; 'It's nothing. Just... Someone shouted something that pissed me off.'
Al; 'Uh huh. When ya gonna tell the truth? I kno u better than tht.'
[y/n]; 'And how do you know that isn't what's making me mad?'
Al; 'Becuz u just said 'making me', wich means it still is. And u woulda said 'did u hear tht' at the game.'
[y/n]; '. . . Whatever. Goodnight.'
Al; 'WAIT. DONT TELL ME.'
[y/n]; 'I didn't..?'
Al; 'U LIKE MATTIE, DONT U!'
Al; 'Don't lie, [nickname].'
Al; 'O come on, u cant be asleep already.'
[y/n]; 'I'm not, I just refuse to answer ludicrous questions.'
Al; 'I'm takin tht as a yes.'
"MATTIE! I KNOW WHY SHE'S MAD!" Al yelled in the middle of a comfortable silence, startling his brother half to death.
"Y-You do?!"
The hyperactive male nodded eagerly. "I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you this. She wanted to talk to you alone. And it's not what you did, it's more or less what you didn't do."
The Canadian male peeked over the bed to look down at his younger twin. "Wh-What?" He tilted his head to the side slightly, his long blond hair curl dangling down. "Has anyone ever told you that what you say doesn't make any sense?"
"GOODNIGHT, BOYS!" Ms. Jones said as she walked in and turned the light off, slamming the door on her way out.
"Goodnight, ma!" The two called after her.
~~~~~With Reader-Chan~~~~~~
That one text flipped her thought train completely upside-down. She hadn't thought of him in that way before, but that would explain some of her 'random' spur-of-the-moment feelings.
Like when she got mad when all the girls hoarded around him tonight. Or when she got butterflies in her stomach from seeing him at the pool over the summer. Or the warm, fuzzy feeling she got when he read to her until she fell asleep leaning on his shoulder when they went camping. Or the protectiveness she felt over him when he tried to talk to new people.
It would also explain why she pictured the faces of everyone that's hurt him on the discs she shot for tournament.
[y/n] had been so focused on her thoughts that she didn't realize that Alfred texted back twice after that. He had jumped to conclusions, as always, but he jumped to the same conclusion that she found when thinking about how she felt. Maybe she really did like him.
After their text conversation, [y/n] just laid in her bed and stared at the ceiling. The lights were off, and she was very comfortable, but she couldn't sleep. Matthew kept flooding her mind. His shy demeanor, his loving tendencies, the gentle way he looked at her, those pools of violet that she could drown in.
She wasn't sure when, but at one point in the night, she sent a text to Matthew. 'Hey.. Can we talk tomorrow?' And, without staying up for his reply, she fell asleep.
~~~~~~Time Skip: Next Day- After School~~~~~~
At the shooting grounds behind the school, Alfred and Matthew stood behind the main commotions. Today, they were figuring out who would be carrying the school on their back to the State Competition. The last shooter of the day was [y/n], and boy was she in the zone.
The captain of the team was [y/n]. She held a lot of pride in her shooting abilities and the school in general, and at this point in time, anyone could tell. Discs were flying at a barrage of color- white being the ones not to shoot, red being worth five points, and blue being worth ten. There was a grand total of seventy-five points someone could achieve.
But, the focus of the twins' attention wasn't how many points the captain was getting, but rather the captain herself. She was laying in the grass, hoisted on her elbows with her [h/c] hair held up in a messy bun on top of her head. She had clear works-man glasses on to protect her [e/c] eyes, but the look of fierce determination was well noted.
Her bright orange top was sliced down the sides to allow better movement, and had "[y/n]- APH High Skeet Team CAPTAIN" on the back in bold black letters. Under the shirt, she only had on a black sports bra. She had on a pair of black short shorts and a pair of black combat boots on that laced to her knees. With the double-barreled shotgun held precisely in her nimble hands, she looked amazing to the twins.
Once the last shot was fired, cheering was heard as she stood. A smile graced her pale pink lips as she placed her gun down carefully before wiping herself clean of grass. The teacher regulating the team clapped and began the announcements.
"I think we all know that our lovely captain, being the expert marksman that she is, will be bringing APH High to Nationals. Total Skeet Shot / Available : Eleven out of Eleven. Total Foul Skeet Shot : Zero. Total number of points: Seventy-Five. A perfect score with only eleven shots fired." Mr.Powell said, patting her on the back with a huge smile on his face. "We're proud of you, [y/n]."
Being the only female in the Skeet Team, [y/n] was quickly surrounded by her male team members and hoisted up above their heads.
"Guys! Put me down!" [y/n] said through her extensive laughter.
Alfred looked over at Matthew, who was sending death looks to every member on the team who put their hands on her.
"Bro? You okay?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
"Never better." The Canadian said with as much venom as [y/n] had in her tone the night before.
Al nudged his brother gently. "You should go take her away from them."
Matthew, too caught up in his personal fury, didn't realize that he agreed with his brother and was catching her as she came down from the team's toss until it was too late. With [y/n] safely in his arms, he walked back over to his brother and sat her down.
"[y/n], you wanted to talk to me, so now's the time to do it." Mattie said sternly, focusing his gaze on the female he had held by the shoulders. "You've been avoiding me all day, and I refuse to believe that you can't see me anymore, like the others."
[y/n]'s face heated up to a bright crimson. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Alfred gather her team up and disappear from sight. She shivered slightly under his intense gaze. That look in his violet eyes was the same look that he had when he was on the ice.
"M-Mattie.. I realized something l-last night.." She started, her [e/c] eyes not looking away from his violet ones for a moment. "I-I can't be your friend anymore."
Matthew's face fell and the grip he had on her shoulders loosened greatly. The girl that he had fallen in love with was telling him that they couldn't be friends anymore. He felt like crying. That was probably why she was avoiding him. He was about to turn away when her hands cupped his face and forced him to look at her.
"Mattie.. Don't leave just yet. Hear me out.. P-Please?" She looked down at her feet for a brief moment before looking back into his eyes and rubbing her thumb gently over his cheek. "It's taking all my courage to do this.. I'm even putting my pride on the line here.. P-Please.. Stay for a moment longer.."
The tears were lining up in his eyes like an army ready to make their march down his face. They never fell, though. Why would she want him here? To make fun of him? Did Alfred tell her about his crush on her? Was she going to laugh at him for it? Sighing, he simply nodded since he had no strength to speak.
"I can't be your friend anymore. It's impossible for me to do." A tear fell down his cheek, and to his surprise, [y/n] was there to kiss it away. The action made him even more confused and made him blush like hell.
"I don't see you as a friend. I'm too protective of you, I hate seeing other females around you, I can't get you out of my mind.. When I'm around you, Mattie, my stomach does acrobatics. When I'm close to you, I feel like I couldn't get happier." This time, the tear fell from [y/n]'s [e/c] eyes. "Mattie, I don't just like you. I'm in love with you. I can't see you as a mere friend anymore."
Matthew's face froze. No, not just his face, but his entire body froze. He didn't dare move for fear of waking up from this realistic dream. To his dismay, it wasn't a dream and [y/n] took his silence as rejection of her feelings. She pulled away from him and looked down at her feet.
"I-I'm sorry. I know you d-don't feel the same.. B-But I had to-"
[y/n] was silenced by Matthew forcing his sweet, maple syrup flavored lips onto hers. She froze for a second but quickly melted into the heated kiss. Her arms snaked around his neck and her hands roamed through his silky blond hair as his wrapped protectively around her waist.
In the near distance, she heard whistles and cat-calls coming from a rustling bush somewhere behind her. She broke the kiss just in time to see Matthew flip off his brother and her team before diving in for another kiss.
"I love you too."

Calcification of the extracellular matrix (ECM) can be physiological or pathological. Physiological calcification occurs in bone when the soft ECM is converted into a rigid material capable of sustaining mechanical force; pathological calcification can occur in arteries and cartilage and other soft tissues. No molecular determinant regulating ECM calcification has yet been identified. A candidate molecule is matrix GLA protein (Mgp), a mineral-binding ECM protein synthesized by vascular smooth-muscle cells and chondrocytes, two cell types that produce an uncalcified ECM. Mice that lack Mgp develop to term but die within two months as a result of arterial calcification which leads to blood-vessel rupture. Chondrocytes that elaborate a typical cartilage matrix can be seen in the affected arteries. Mgp-deficient mice additionally exhibit inappropriate calcification of various cartilages, including the growth plate, which eventually leads to short stature, osteopenia and fractures. These results indicate that ECM calcification must be actively inhibited in soft tissues. To our knowledge, Mgp is the first inhibitor of calcification of arteries and cartilage to be characterized in vivo.

I do not think it is because she is hungry that this dyke is licking and sucking her lesbian girlfriend titties, I would say it is more a matter of lust. If you ever want milk you can always go to the supermarket, there is no need to suck your best friend boobs.
If your girlfriend gets topless and says that she needs some licking somewhere, the situation would be completely different and you should then suck, lick and maybe even bit, your girl tits. All lesbians love pussy licking as much as they like licking other women tits, two of the most lesbian sex acts enjoyed by horny dykes, it is licking the pussy and licking the tits. Women tend to be extremely happy when they get licked all over and have a big orgasm with juices flowing out of their pussies or boobs towards their lesbian friend mouth.

Best Before End by Simon Willems
Simon Willems' paintings are fantasy-based works that appear as shadowy allegories. The painting above is from a series entitled A Certain Way to Fade, based on news accounts about hermits. After the jump is a piece from Altitude Sickness, "conceived in response to the idea of Hitler's mountain retreat at Berchtesgaden and its subsequent conversion to a tourist restaurant after World War Two." (Hamburger-based Stormtroopers, no less.) Willems uses his work to highlight the odd contexts in which we "carve out our preferences and dreams."

Tarot Message of the Day:
In this tarot card "Ace of Cups", a hand emerges from the clouds to offer blessings.
The hand holds onto a golden cup which is filled with water. In the center of the cup rises a glowing ball of bright energy. There is a dove behind the cup. It seems that the bird is spreading its wings to protect the glowing light.
In the language of tarot, Aces suggest new beginnings or fresh opportunities.
Since the suit of Cups represents the element of water which is associated with intuition and love (emotions, deep feelings, forgiveness and compassion), "Ace of Cups" may imply an opportunity to express your emotional self.
If you have a hard time letting go of resentment or anger, "Ace of Cups" is here to ask you to forgive.
I hope you'd embrace yourself with love today so that you'll set yourself free from your emotional toxins.
P.S. I currently offer tarot reading via email. You may look up the details here.

PHOENIX -- Strong winds forced a man to land his hang glider on a golf course driving range Tuesday afternoon.
Shawn Jarrell was enjoying the updrafts over north Phoenix after he launched from Shaw Butte. He said he reached close to 6,000 feet before winds took him down.
He found a patch of grass at Cave Creek Golf Course near 19th Avenue and Greenway Road in Phoenix.
"I just chose to land in here and these people were kind enough not to actually shoot off golf balls at me when I was coming in for a landing," Jarrell said. "I said, 'I'm going to land there.' They all stopped and watched me come in for a landing."
Jarrell was on a mission while he was in the air. He managed to release a friend's ashes while he was high over the Valley. His friend died of cancer and this was one of his final requests.

I have following symptoms :
- Constant Fatigue which increases after meals for last 7 years
- Mild and constant cold for last 7 years
- Soft sticky motion 4 -5 times a day for last 10-15 years
- Gas and hyper acidity for last 7 years
- Back covered with acne and sores for last 10-15 years
- Burning and tired feet for last 7 years.
- Premature graying of hair
- Frequent throat or stomach infections as told by doctors
All medical tests done. No adverse finding. Do I have sluggish liver? Liver function test has no adverse remark.
Please advise my ailment/disorder and its cure.
I shall be highly obliged for the favour.
Hi Deepak,
I do agree that your liver sounds like it is struggling. Your symptoms immediately sounded like a candida infection to me.
Read over the section I have on candida albicans and see if that might be the underlying problem. Candida puts huge stress on the liver, as it excretes lots of toxins that the liver must deal with.
The best treatment I have found for excess candida is the toxinout and colonix programs from Dr Natura (see my best body detox page). However, I see that these products are not available in India.
What you want to look for are products that kill the yeast and detoxify your body.
Unrefined organic coconut oil will kill the yeast quite well. Just make sure it is unrefined as most refined coconut oils are quite detrimental to your health (they contain trans fats).

Service projects are part of the Imagine program both for the children in its support groups and the members of its Youth Advisory Council (iYAC). Here, iYAC members Emma Klein and Kaila Starita participate in The Little Shoebox Project, collecting items and assembling 35 shoeboxes for children, teens and adults affected by Hurricane Sandy. "Being of service to others helps build resiliency and can decrease some of the stress people who are grieving may be feeling at the holidays and throughout the year. It increases feelings of self-esteem and can provide a sense of purpose and control when grievers are feeling most vulnerable and alone," said Robinson. Credits: Imagine
When Holiday Stress is Too Much to Handle, Westfield Residents are Not Alone
Saturday, December 22, 2012 • 12:38pm
WESTFIELD, NJ—The holiday season can be a joyous time of year. But for many it's also a time when feelings of stress and depression can be amplified, which in extreme cases can lead to crisis. Many of us were reminded of this issue earlier this week as we learned about the tragic suicide/homicide of a mother and her young son in the neighboring town of Scotch Plains.
"Most of us are familiar with what is known as the 'holiday blues'—sometimes referred to as 'the winter blues'—which are characterized by feelings of sadness, loneliness, depression and anxiety during the holiday season," said Terri DiMatteo, LPC and founder of Open Door Therapy in Westfield.
With recent events including Superstorm Sandy, the tragedy in Newtown, CT, and now this tragedy in Scotch Plains, this year all of us are feeling some anxiety or depression, according to DiMatteo, "as it has delivered so much for us to collectively cope with."
In addition, holidays can be difficult time for those experiencing grief.
"Many people experience intense and polarizing feelings at the same time. It can be confusing and unsettling to feel happy and/or joyous and deeply sad and lonely simultaneously," said Mandi Zucker, program director for Imagine, a Center for Coping with Loss, in Westfield. "Allowing yourself permission to let the feelings come as they do relieves some of the guilt and anger many people experience during the holidays."
Imagine is offering phone support and one-on-one in-person support for individuals and families who are struggling with feelings of grief and loss.
"For many people, the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School have triggered grief and painful feelings from earlier losses in their own lives with which they may still be struggling. Add to that the trauma for many of Hurricane Sandy, and the pressure of the holidays, and many people are simply having a difficult time coping," said Mary Robinson, Executive Director. "Part of our mission is foster resiliency for people coping with loss. Reaching out for help and support is actually a sign of resiliency and a way to grow more resilient."
"If you're feeling down around the holidays or you know someone who has suffered a loss and seems withdrawn, don't suffer in silence—there is help out there," added Dasha Hinton, LPC, of Resolve Community Counseling in Scotch Plains, a non-profit organization that provides counseling and psychotherapy services at a reduced rate.
For immediate help at any time, CONTACT We Care, a Westfield-based award-winning crisis hotline serving New Jersey, recently expanded its hours of operation to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Callers can reach CONTACT by dialing 908-232-2880 or texting "CWC" to 839863. All calls and texts are anonymous and confidential.

Here's one for you funky nerds out there. This is a 1970's Heuer Chronograph "Calculator" model. Called the Calculator because of its Slide Rule bezel, this watch is an enormous 46mm across. It has a rich blue face and orange hands, that definitely remind us of the 1970 Seamaster below.
This particular watch is in "like new" condition and the movement, an automatic caliber 12, has just been cleaned and serviced. It would appear this watch is quad signed as well. This Heuer chrono is selling for $2250, which we think is about right for this awesome looking (and highly functional) 70's watch.
Click here for more details on this recently serviced retro Heuer Calculator Chronograph.
However, as it is our duty to provide our readers the most information about these timepieces, we should tell you that there is another 70's Heuer Calculator being sold for less than this one. The only difference, as far as we can tell, is that this one has not had its movement cleaned or serviced recently, although the vendor claims it is running very well.
The second Heuer Calculator is selling for $1850, $400 below the one mentioned above. And how much does a good servicing cost on a 40 year old movement? Yes, roughly $400.
We will leave the decision up to you on which is the better deal, but either way you're getting a really unique vintage Heuer that we guarantee you won't see on the wrist of any of your friends.

Temple 20
(0-6, 0-3 American)
Cincinnati 38
(4-2, 1-1 American)
Coverage: ESPN
8:30 PM ET, October 11, 2013
Nippert Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
Top Performers
Passing: B. Kay (CIN) - 270 YDS, 2 TD
Rushing: T. Green (CIN) - 18 CAR, 91 YDS, 2 TD
Receiving: A. McClung (CIN) - 7 REC, 86 YDS, 2 TD
CINCINNATI -- Brendon Kay sparked a Cincinnati offense that helped the Bearcats get started on the road back from a heartbreaking tragedy.
Kay completed 31 of 37 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns to help Cincinnati beat winless Temple 38-20 on Friday night for its first victory in the first-year American Athletic Conference.
Kay ran for 18 yards and a score for the Bearcats (4-2, 1-1), coming off a turnover-plagued 26-20 loss at previously winless South Florida in their first game since freshman offensive lineman Ben Flick was killed in a car accident on Sept. 21. Wide receiver Mark Barr remains hospitalized with injuries from that accident.
The Nippert Stadium crowd of 32,220 watched a video tribute to Flick before kickoff.
"We had to get out there and get our minds off everything," Kay said.
Anthony McClung had seven catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns, Shaq Washington caught 11 passes for 72 yards, and Tion Green ran for a career-high 91 yards and two TDs on 18 carries as Cincinnati, hoping to jumpstart its offense, went with four wide receivers for much of the game.
First-year coach Tommy Tuberville was happy to see the wrinkle play off.
"With what we've been through this past month, we needed something positive," Tuberville said. "We were struggling mentally. I've never been through anything like this. It looked like we were running in mud last week. We went to four wide receivers, and it gave us some high-octane rhythm."
Tony Miliano added a 44-yard field goal, the longest of his career.
Freshman P.J. Walker, playing his third game and making his first start, was 12 of 22 for 200 yards and two touchdowns and an interception for Temple (0-6, 0-3). He ran for 48 yards on nine carries.
"I prepare every week like I'm a starter," Walker said. "I just played the game and let it come to me. I knew early in the week that I was going to start, and I got a lot of reps with the (starters), but I didn't feel any different than I did when I came into the game last week."
First-year coach Matt Ruhle predicted a bright future for Walker.
"We wanted to see how P.J. would react," Ruhle said. "The game wasn't too big for him. P.J. is going to be a heck of a player in this conference. He was a dynamic player for us. He made some freshman mistakes but he will continue to grow."
Cincinnati's defense bounced back from a shaky first half to hold the Owls scoreless in the second half.
"Defensively, we had no idea what they would be running offensively," Tuberville said. "They had a new quarterback and new formations, and it looked like we didn't know what they were doing. We didn't stop much in the first half, but we made some adjustments. We made sure to get in the quarterback's face and not let him get outside."
Cincinnati, hoping for a quick start after scoring six points in the first half against South Florida, scored on its first possession and added three more touchdowns to build a 28-20 halftime lead. Kay connected on all five of his passes for 32 yards on the opening drive, and added a 25-yard touchdown pass to McClung and a 4-yard scoring run. Green scored on runs of 24 and 2 yards.
"When I popped that first (touchdown) run, I was like, `Oh, wow, that's my first oh, my gosh, college moment," Green said. "It's a humbling feeling."
"Tino hadn't been getting much playing time because of his pass protection," Tuberville said. "It wasn't what we liked. He's going to gain some yards for us."
Temple hung with the Bearcats, shredding the nation's fourth-ranked defense in total yards for a season-high 20 first-half points and 271 yards, 16 more than the Owls' total in their 30-7 loss to No. 8 Louisville last week.
Walker completed touchdown passes of 35 yards to Jalen Fitzpatrick and 30 to Clinton Granger, and Zaire Williams added a 1-yard scoring run as the Owls gained 20 more yards than the per-game average of 251 allowed by the Bearcats in their first five games.
Cincinnati had gone 10 quarters without allowing an offensive touchdown.
Kay added a 4-yard touchdown pass to McClung with 9:19 left in the third quarter.

"House of Cards" Season 2 Is Coming Soon
Teaser TrailerFrancis and Claire Underwood are back with a vengeance.
Washington's most vicious and ambitious power couple is back with a vengeance in season 2 of Netflix's blockbuster political drama "House of Cards."
Season two of this Emmy Award-winning and Golden Globe and SAG Awards-nominated political thriller, starring Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, and Kate Mara, will be available in its entirety on Netflix on February 14. Click here to watch the trailer.
"Democracy is so overrated," says arrogant Underwood to the camera after he gets sworn-in as Vice President, realizing all his political maneuvers were successful, as his calculating wife Claire is now the Second Lady of the United States.
However, we're quickly reminded that the Underwoods' power-grabbing plot continues to be as fragile as a house of cards as reporter Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) realizes what had happened in the first season and witness Doug Stamper warns, "we can't have this conspiracy stuff going mainstream."
"House of Cards" Season 2 will be available February 14 on Netflix.

Pick Up Sweet sweet curvesFeb/22/2009 By Adamski 0 user(s) found this review helpful. |
I have to say i love this circles art style, the sweet curves and lushus bodies on these ladies are too good for me. I really like the forced situations they put these ladies in without being too rough. Anyways, the jist is she is a what seems to be some well formed ninja superhero, no story, the first 12 images are her being grabbed and abused by a group of men and the last 10 are same story but with tentacles, there are a few variation pictures thrown in for good measure.

If find your roof congested with darts which seems rather impossible to clean by washing, Simply bring a pressure washing home or hire a pressure washing company services in Pearland and your problem can be solved in minutes. If it is a sudden inspection day at your office and all the glass doors and windows are dirty. You can use a pressure washing and clean it quickly to get ready for a tidy appearance. Certain features of pressure washing are as follows
- It is easy to handle.
- Wheel is set with it to move it here and there fast.
- It is small but heavy.
- You need to have the electric wire always to run it.
- It can run with petrol too.
- You can use hot water for the strong dust.
Usefulness of pressure washing
It is motor driven. The velocity at the nozzles is very high. So you need to take good care of using it. Avoid contacts with children even if they want to experience it. There are few very unique utility of pressure washing. If you stay in a high humid atmosphere your area get affected with algae, mildew, and mold. So you can easily maintain your surrounding with the help of a pressure washing. You can even wash strong paint, grease or oil stains from your floor with a little detergent introduced with a special injector in the nozzle of pressure washing.
Learn the job
A pressure washer can take back your office or home in its former dignity. It can save your time too. What you need to do is to learn your job perfectly. You need to take away all the obstacles from your working area that could damage the hose. Be sure of directing the nozzle in proper place. Before cleaning starts you should avoid the plans to get affected. Even the animals could be injured or die because of that high pressure. You yourself need to stand on a stable surface. Better to wear an eye protection. As different pressure washing has different speed you need to be careful. The sound that emits out from a pressure washing is very loud and can damage your hearing. So it is advisable to wear a hearing aid before you start the job.
Some of the damages that can happen due to the use of pressure washing are
- Broken seals on a window pane resulting in a constant foggy state.
- Water damage on the wall.
- Roof damage due to high pressure washing.
- Window could be damaged again due to high pressure specially the glass window and wooden window.
The expenses are pretty easy. As you can get a quick and satisfactory service you must not think about the costing. Even after cleaning with a professional you hardly get a better result. If you prefer to stay unmaintained for the high charge of the professional cleaners you have to spend a lot of money at the end of a couple of years. It is easier to use a pressure washing normally at intervals. So bring home a pressure washing home and enjoy cleaning your driveways, pool, office and vehicles.

This week's Crimson Arts cover story may have led some readers to believe that Crimson editor Alexander Tang '14 frequents a tailor. Some readers would be mistaken. Mr. Tang is on hand to detail why.
Reasons I don't visit a tailor:
1. I like having the extra room in my suits so I have a place to store all my shame.
2. I abide by the rule of Occam's Blazer, which states that between equal outfits, I should select the one with the fewest alterations.
3. I'm still not entirely convinced that it's legal to receive performance-enhancing stitches. Also, I heard in a rap video once that "snitches get stitches," and I'm no snitch.
4. I believe it was John F. Kennedy who once said, "Conformity is the tailor of freedom and the enemy of growth." I like freedom, and conformity seems like it's a bad thing.
5. I'm pretty sure tailored suits were what was rotten in Denmark.
6. I don't want people to think I care about what I look like. I want people to think I fell into a pile of clothes, writhed around for a minute or two, and then stumbled out into the world with whatever stuck. Because that's what I do.
7. Who has the time to see a tailor? My schedule is packed with important business deals, hugging attractive women, and living free. If you're seriously asking which I would choose, between hugging a certified dame and a wearing suit that doesn't look like I fell into a burlap sack that I was too lazy to extricate myself from, well, clearly you don't know a thing about living free.
8. I'm worried that if my clothes start fitting too well, they will finally make the leap from being one of the reasons people like me to the only reason people like me.

Rezoning aimed at alleviating overcrowding at PS 143 in Corona will actually result in increases during the first few years after a new school opens nearby in September 2013.
That bit of information was included Tuesday night in a presentation at PS 143 by representatives of the Department of Education's Department of Portfolio Planning.
Speaking at a meeting of Community Education Council 24, Portfolio representatives Emily Ades and Elizabeth Park outlined new zones and enrollment estimates for when a new school opens up 16 months from now.
Under the DOE's proposal, students currently in PS 330 in Elmhurst will move to the new building under construction at 110-08 Northern Blvd., which will be the new PS 330.
The existing PS 330, which was established in the old Ascension School building to alleviate overcrowding in PS 143, would be backfilled, as Ades put it, by the same way the new PS 330 will be.
And PS 143, which now is at 123 percent of designed capacity with about 1,600 students, could go over 140 percent of capacity until other new schools open over the next few years.
Ades said the increase could be alleviated by such things as more efficient use of space.
"We're overcrowded right now," said Elsa Avalos, president of the PTA at PS 143. "This school was built for about 938 students.."
"We need help now," said parent Angelica Salgado. "Our children don't have two or three years."
Nick Comaianni, president of CEC 24, has shared the same frustrations for years. He reiterated that more schools are coming.
"Every school in the district is overcrowded," he said. "Corona is the most overcrowded; 330 was filled just to help 143." He said once the School Construction Authority grasped the gravity of the situation, it approved eight new schools in Queens, including six in CEC 24.
"And five of those are in Corona," he said.
But he also said construction takes time, and that the CEC and the DOE are constantly on the lookout for private properties that can serve as schools.
"What do you want us to do that we haven't done?" asked CEC 24 Vice President Peter Vercessi.
While one parent brought up the "temporary" trailers being used at PS 143 being made permanent, Comaianni cited another painful fact from the SCA — the fact that every portable classroom in the district is considered to be beyond its scheduled useful life span.
In the case of PS 143, there is an additional complication.
"Those portables sit on Parks Department land," Comaianni said. "If you want to make those permanent, you have to find an equivalent amount of land somewhere else and give it to the Parks Department. Then you can make those permanent."
Portfolio's proposal would shrink the existing PS 143 feeder zone and establish a new one for PS 330 that incorporates the northern part of the existing 143 zone and approximately four square blocks from what is now a portion of District 28.
CEC 24 will vote on the new borders recommendations in June.

'Fast Money' Recap: The Economy and the Market
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The broader markets finally endured a steep decline, with the S&P 500 falling 1.25%.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, said the nonfarm payrolls report was truly bad and the Federal Reserve willmost likely continue with its asset tapering plans.
Tim Seymour, managing partner of Triogem Asset Management, said the employment trend still looks good and the economy hasn't dramatically changed.
Guy Adami, managing director of stockmonster.com, said equities' move lower mostly appears technical. He added the S&P 500 seems likely to work its way down to 1,750 or so. From there it could continue lower or bounce back to new highs.
Josh Brown, CEO and co-founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management, said the market is not overbought and was dragged lower by the retail sector. Kelly suggested the financial sector will have to report a really strong earnings season to continue higher because it has done so well over the past year. He added that today's selloff in the market is justified. For content plays, Seymour continues to like Disney (DIS). Charter Communications (CHTR) is interested in bidding for Time Warner Cable (TWC). Kelly suggested there is a "floor" of support near $130 and a target bid price near $160. He was a buyer. Brown pointed out the market is in a "good state" as there is competitive buying occurring. Adami added that Blackstone (BX) is a beneficiary of deals like this. He's a buyer of BX. Guest Adam Parker, chief U.S. equity strategist and managing director at Morgan Stanley (MS), said the earnings season should be fine. He said there hasn't been a lot of negative pre-releases and the off-season earnings reports weren't bad. He advised investors to calm down because the market is barely off its highs. The risk could be if the Fed continues to taper and the U.S. hits an economic "soft patch" in the spring, he said. The group revealed their top earnings trades: Seymour is a buyer of Cummins (CMI), which should benefit from higher margins on its diesel and natural gas truck engines.Kelly is a seller of Bank of Montreal (BMO), due to the struggling economy. Brown likes JPMorgan Chase (JPM) ahead of its earnings report Tuesday. He said the bank has beat EPS estimates for eight consecutive quarters by an average of 14%.

Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
Really enjoyed this. I downloaded it to my smartphone and had the tickets in my pocket everywhere we went. My only dislike is, my interpretation, that it has to be used consecutive days. That leaves no rest days. However still a great value.

Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
I was so happy with getting these cards for my family! Saved us a few hundred dollars. I totally recommend getting these! I will be buying more on my next trip!
Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
The lines to redeem the tickets are extremely long, especially on weekend. You should place a kiosk at the parks for users to redeem tickets, instead of getting in the long lines.
Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
We saved a small fortune using our three day go card, and saw much more than planned. My only ' complaint' would be having to use on consecutive days once activated, makes those days a little crazy trying to cram lots in. But still a great product, well worth it.
Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
Even though we arrived after closing time to pick up our cards, they opened the door to happily give us our cards. We were impressed by this mannerly treatment. All the attractions we wanted to visit over our week's stay were included on the card and we saved bundles, especially doe to visiting the same venue on more than one day! You cannot lose with this card. We did many fun things we would not have known about if not for our Go San Diego Card!
Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
We spent 3 days in San Diego. This card saved us a lot + we had all the flexibility.
Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
I would recommend this Go card to others.
Comments about Smart Destinations Go San Diego Card:
Great for getting in to see many attractions I may have not otherwise gone to because I was not aware of. Able to use several times throughout the day for different museums and attractions. Only downfall is that some of the attractions are not locally located within San Diego's public transport system so without a car you are unable to visit several of them. Most are easily accessed by bus and trolley, however some are too far out of the way even for the busses or the trolleys and definitely require a car.

for a classic stuff round here. The Impacts were Pismo Beach, Southern
California born surf group led by guitarist Merrell Fankhauser, later on
a legendary figure of American psychedelic movement. He was original
author of Wipe Out!, which later become a major hit for the Surfaris. Here you got great surf rockin' instros like Fort Lauderdale, Revellion, Impact, Steel Pier, Tandem, Beep Beep, cool laid back instros Lisa, Sea Horse and few ballads. There's some fine pedal steel guitar sounds as well as wailin' saxes throughout. Classic stuff indeed. Wipe Out!

Tech Talk: Red Bull hiding FOM camera in nose
© Red Bull Racing, The F1 Times
14 March 2014 by TF1T Staff | M | Tweet
Red Bull appeared to be running an illegal car during practice one and two for the Australian Grand Prix. However it turns out that they've come up with an ingenious solution to the mandatory FOM camera requirements.
All 22 cars on the grid must run five camera housings which can be used by FOM during the season to provide onboard footage. Whilst not all of these housings will have a working camera, they carry a dummy camera to the same weight and size to ensure no competitior is advantaged of disadvantaged.
As you can see on the above image, the RB10 doesn't have any visible camera mounts on the front of the car. Compare that to the image below of the Mercedes, and the camera mounts are clearly visible.
These small wings provide drag, albeit a small amount, and therefore hinder the airflow running over the car despite the designers best attempts at placing them in the best possible location to minimise the effects.
The inset image above sheds light on how Red Bull have managed to get around having these wings. Above the 'o' of Casio, a small hole can be seen which is for the FOM camera lens to see out of.
Red Bull have mounted the cameras within the vanity panel of the nose. Whilst a small opening on the nose will also provide drag and airflow disruption, it has a far smaller effect than the traditional approach.
It's likely the legality of Red Bull's solution will be questioned, but the technical regulations don't state anything about the mountings having to be placed externally, or a certain distance from the centre line of the car.

*You Set the Scene's Best Albums of 2008
1) Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes / Sun Giant EP (Sub Pop) – 2008 was a very good year for Fleet Foxes. In six months, they went from opening up for Blitzen Trapper at the Troubadour to selling out a couple of nights at El Rey. Robin Pecknold's still a kid, but appears to have the whole package – musicianship, songwriting (including good lyrics) and a great voice. A few of the songs on the LP kind of just sit there – but if you factor in the EP and cherry pick the best 11 or 12 – you've got an amazing album. Standout tracks: MP3: "White Winter Hymnal" and "Myknos"
2) Everest: Ghost Notes (Vapor Records) – They were number one on my local list. As I said, the songs sound effortlessly timeless; the product of talented musicians who have absorbed rock 'n' roll history (Neil Young, the Beatles, the Byrds, etc.). Throw in Mike Terry's warm ass production and you've got a fantastic debut. It's a really consistent album. Standout tracks: "Rebels in the Roses" and "Into Your Soft Heart"
3) Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago (Jagjaguwar) – Originally self-released in 2007, most of us didn't hear it until Jagjaguwar gave it widespread distribution in 2008. It's really overdubbed and layered, but he pulls it off pretty well live. Great heartbroken, winter album. Standout tracks: MP3: "Skinny Love" and "Blindsided"
4) The Raconteurs: Consolers of the Lonely (Warner Bros. / Third Man) – You could pluck pretty much any song off this record and it would fit right in on a classic rock station's play list. Great production and fantastic musicianship. It was a huge improvement over their debut album. Standout tracks: "Salute Your Solution" and "The Switch and the Spur"
5) TV on the Radio: Dear Science (Interscope) – If you're not Radiohead, this is about as critic proof as you can get with a record; it's political and arty but accessible. For me, the Tunde Adebimpe songs are where it's at. Standout tracks: "Family Tree" and "Halfway Home"
6) Le Switch: And Now…Le Switch (Autumn Tone) – This record was number two on my top local releases. Without being overtly retro, it's a modern take on the music I love from the early 1970s. Standout tracks: "Smile Away" and "Simple Gifts"
MP3: "Pristine"
7) Spiritualized: Songs in A&E (Fontana) – I've been a huge Spiritualized fan since the last 1990s. Kinda lost interest over the past seven years, but this is a return to form. I just wish the vinyl had come with a download. Bastards. Standout tracks: "Death Take Your Fiddle" and "You Lie You Cheat"
8) Neil Young: Live at Canterbury House 1968 (Reprise) – Recorded on the heels of leaving Buffalo Springfield and right before his debut solo record came out, this is another important live release from the Neil Young archives. Great anecdotes, fantastic song selection and a compelling performance make for a worthwhile purchase. Standout tracks: "The Loner" and "Birds"
9) David Vandervelde: Waiting for the Sunrise (Secretly Canadian) – This one was not well received by the critics, but the more I listen to it, the more I love it. There are Neil Young moments, soft rock moments and even an Elliott Smith moment. In an alternate universe somewhere, Vandervelde is appreciated. Standout tracks: MP3: "Someone Like You" and "Need for Now"
10) Radar Bros.: Auditorium (Merge) – Number three on my local list, it took a rainy December day to remind me how much I love this record. These 12 songs are perfectly layered and warm, and if you listen closely, you'll still hear some occasionally depraved lyrics. Standout tracks: MP3:"Warm Rising Son" and "Morning Bird"
2008's Top Ten LA Records
2008 was a year where a number of LA bands/scenes (deservedly) got national attention. No Age and Abe Vigoda are showing up on a lot of top 10 lists and I've even seen The Mae Shi on a few.
The Airborne Toxic Event got panned by the American snobs, but connected with fans, sold more records than anybody else, got airplay and will make their third national TV appearance in January on Letterman.
Very recently the Laurel Canyon (Jenny Lewis, Johnathan Rice, Whispertown 2000) scene is getting some press. I first wrote about Jonathan Wilson's weekly jams back in June 2007, and Rolling Stone finally picked up on it last week.
And I've seen a helluva lot about Flying Lotus (he even named his record Los Angeles) and Crystal Antlers too. All those bands help make LA one of the best places in the world to be a music fan, but none of them quite made my list.
*You Set the Scene's Top Ten Local Records for 2008:
1) Everest: Ghost Notes (Vapor Records) – These guys had barely played any LA shows before they were touring Europe opening for My Morning Jacket and (more recently) playing arenas with Neil Young and Wilco. The songs sound effortlessly timeless; the product of talented musicians who have absorbed rock 'n' roll history (Neil Young, the Beatles, the Byrds, etc.). Throw in Mike Terry's warm ass production and you've got a fantastic debut. You can catch them at Spaceland on December 29th (at the Movies residency).
2) Le Switch: And Now…Le Switch (Autumn Tone) – Guitarist/singer Aaron Kyle might not have a traditionally pretty voice, but it's distinctive and he sings with heart. Backing him up are four extremely talented musicians (including a piano/keyboard player and a viola/trumpet player). I saw Le Switch more than any other band this year, so I was familiar with many of these songs before they recorded them and I've heard some of them evolve since. As I've watched the band evolve over the past few years, I know they're only going to get better. I can't wait for their February residency at Spaceland.
MP3: Pristine
3) Radar Bros.: Auditorium (Merge) – It took a rainy December day to remind me how much I love this record. In the Pitchfork / blog bullshit world of hype, it's tough for a veteran indie musician to get his proper due. More than a dozen years in, Jim Putnam's still growing as an artist and producer. These 12 songs are perfectly layered and warm, and if you listen closely, you'll still hear some occasionally depraved lyrics.
MP3: Warm Rising Sun
4) The Movies: Based on a True Story (Self-Released) – When you boil it all down, there's a deep sense of longing and loss on this record; but this ain't Hank Williams, it's the Movies. When Timothy James sings about heartbreak he quotes Pedro Martinez, uses obtuse Vietnam metaphors and accuses the one who got away of going to Rio and sucking a million -----. The fusion of humor and heart makes the Movies one of my favorite bands. It accomplishes so much in only songs (and under thirty minutes. They're always entertaining live; catch them throughout December at their Monday night Spaceland residency.
5) The Broken West: Now or Heaven (Merge) – These guys had my favorite local release last year and are high on the list a year later. The record kicks off with a drum machine, which, for some critics, seemed to signal a totally new direction. But if you were a fan of the debut, it's still the same great band. Put a little studio experimentation aside and the heart of the band is still great songwriting. The trio of songs starting with track four ("Ambuscade," "Perfect Games," and "House of Lies") might be my favorite section of an album all year.
MP3: Perfect Games
6) The Henry Clay People: For Cheap or For Free (Autumn Tone) – While their debut made my top ten local list, I'm still stunned at how much they progressed on this record. Between seeing their live shows and this record, I might have gotten the most joy out of these guys in 2008. There are five jams on this record that stand up to any indie rock tunes from the past year. If you still haven't seen them live, do yourself a favor and head to Spaceland on New Year's Eve. If you live out of town, they'll be taking it out on the road in February and March. As the youngest band on the list, the sky's the limit for these guys.
MP3: Something in the Water
7) Earlimart: Hymn and Her (Majordomo) – 2008 was the year that Aaron Espinoza really opened up as a songwriter. Coming less than a year after Mentor Tormentor, it's another very solid collection of songs.
8) Les Blanks: Shoot the Horse (Self-Released) – They've received heaps of praise from the likes of the Aquarium Drunkard, Rock Insider and Surfing on Steam, but this trio is still criminally under appreciated. I love the Wurlitzer-driven songs the best, but the whole record has a 1970's blues-rock vibe that I completely dig.
MP3: La Reina
9) Amnion: AmenNAmO (Self-Released) – Aaron Embry's such an undeniably talented musician. Their sound is indefinable, but one second you're thinking classic Stevie Wonder and moments later you hear a touch of Radiohead. I'm a pretty cynical bastard, but their positivity and joy in playing is totally contagious. The song "aTONn" is my favorite.
Album is free HERE (but send them money if you like it, they have a baby on its way)
10) The Little Ones: Morning Tide (Chop Shop) – Their debut EP topped my local list in 2006. Two years later, their first full length is full of catchy indie pop. "Rise and Shine" is my favorite track.
Honorable Mentions: Mt. Wilson Repeater, The Parson Red Heads EP, Dengue Fever, Darker My Love
Local records I'm Looking Forward to in 2009:
Le Switch EP, Frankel, The Minor Canon, Silversun Pickups

- Found these wire swimming pool locker baskets and old side light at ReStore, the great architectural salvage non-profit in Ballard.
- Used some basic cool looking screws and washers from the local hardware store and POOF you have yourself a fabulous book shelf, case, holder thingy.
- I should probably attach this to the wall in case of an earthquake. You know it is going to happen in Seattle some time, right?
5 thoughts on "Make a Bookshelf"
love it! will have to make a visit to the ReStore soon…
I LOVE this idea! So much cooler than the Ikea shelves I have. Probably cost less too.
I love this project! Such a great contrast between the metal baskets and the antique bed. Are you a graphic designer :) ?

In 1950, there was not a single country where the population was not growing rapidly, the average woman had more than five children in her lifetime, and the birth rate was not dropping significantly anywhere. Then came the new birth-control technologies and the rise of women's liberation ideologies, and in many Western countries the birth rate dropped by half in ten years. As recently as 1974, however, the median birth rate worldwide was still 5.4 children per woman, so the pessimists were still winning the arguments.
They believed that only literacy could spread the ideas and techniques that made birth rates fall, and that literacy would not grow fast enough. Well, literacy has grown a lot faster than they expected - between 1980 and 2000, literacy rose from 18 percent to 47 percent in Afghanistan; from 33 percent to 64 percent in Nigeria; from 66 percent to 85 percent in China; and from 69 percent to 87 percent in Indonesia. But birth rates have dropped even faster than literacy has risen: the global average is now 2.7 children per woman.
Some of the most startling recent drops have been in places where women's illiteracy is still quite high - Bangladesh and parts of India, for example - so we clearly need a broader criterion than mere literacy. In fact, any form of mass media, including broadcast media that do not require literacy, seems to have the same effect on the birth rate. (Though purely local cultural factors also play a role: Pakistan and Bangladesh both had a birth rate of 6.3 in 1981; now Bangladesh's is 3.3, while Pakistan's is still 5.6.)
The global birth rate may be no more than a decade away from dropping to replacement level, 2.2 children per woman. Most developed countries have already dropped well below that rate. This does not immediately stop population growth, since all the children who have already been born will have a child or two themselves, and then live for another fifty years afterwards. It does not solve the environmental crisis either, since all of these seven or eight billion human beings will aspire to the kind of lifestyle now enjoyed only by the privileged billion or so.
But it does mean that populations almost everywhere will start graying within the next decade, and in due course, the old will come to outnumber the young. (The exceptions are almost all in African and Arab countries which together amount to only a tenth of the world's population.) Based on historical precedent, countries where the average age is rising are unlikely to become aggressor nations. Peace through exhaustion, perhaps?

Joey, do you like movies about gladiators? - Comments (2)
I was smokin' a doobie with Ryan Holmes & Richard Branson at The Groucho Club last week and I'm not sure what I said exactly but in the middle of one my of opprobrious & epically meandering stories Richy looked me right in the eyeball and said… "KK, Vigin Galatic needs pilots like you son." He showed me this video and told me to begin preparations for the most important adventure of my life.
Ok, that may or may not have happened….
I know I can't control the future… but, I hope to be able to nudge it a lil bit in a particular direction. In the spirit of creating exciting new opportunities and buttressed by a strong desire for adventure, nature & freedom… I've decided to go to flight school and get my Private Pilot License.
