Reading a book by Jack Gantos can be a wild and crazy ride, in a good way- you never know what's coming up next. That's one of the things I like about his books. He doesn't talk down to kids, either, or try to sugar coat the world. And he's funny. His book for kids and young adults, "Dead End in Norvelt", won the Newbery Award. Now Gantos has written a sequel, "From Norvelt to Nowhere". Twelve year old Jack lives in a small Pennsylvania town, with his mom; it's the Cuban missile era. Jack's mom arranges for him to accompany slightly mad old Miss Volker to New York City. She's ostensibly going to pay homage to Eleanor Roosevelt, but Jack and Miss Volker are also on the track of an elusive murderer. And that's just the start of this road trip story, filled with eccentric characters and lots of action.
I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that Ron Burgundy: Let Me Off at the Top! My classy life & other musings, the new book by legendary fake news anchor Ron Burgundy, is by far the best movie tie-in fake biography of a fictional character that I've read this year. The book not only presents the rich, dare I say majestic, life story of Mr. Burgundy, but also offers readers the kind of practical advice that only comes from a life lived at top speed without brakes. That is, the life of a local TV news anchor. Burgundy's tips on parenting, like instilling confidence in a ten-year-old by teaching them to drive on the freeway, along with his essential "rules for living through a prison riot" are priceless, pure Burgundy and worth their weight in gold. As the man himself says in the introduction to Let Me Off at the Top!, this book is a gift. If you are a silly person looking for a very silly read, it is a very nice gift indeed. Stay classy.
Stephanie Plum and Lula are at it again. It's a formula that works, Stephanie Plum is a cute, bumbling bounty hunter. She is torn between the two men in her life, Morelli and Ranger. Morelli is a former bad boy turned cop and Ranger is a mysterious man who runs a security company, can open any locked door and shows up just in time to save Stephanie over and over, mostly because he has trackers in her purses, cars etc. In Takedown Twenty Stephanie is after Salvatore "Uncle Sunny" Sunucchi who ran over a guy twice. Finding Sunny is problematic. Bella puts the evil eye on Stephanie. Stephanie, as she does in every book, needs Rangers help and wreaks and loses cars. Janet Evanovich, the author, in this book changed up the animal from a monkey, which we have seen in a couple of previous books to a Giraffe which Lula keeps trying to find and feed. The fun is in the reading, not the solving or capturing of the criminal. If you look at the back cover I think Stephanie Plum is Janet Evonovich's alter ego.
Mr. Tiger Goes Wild by Peter Brown caught my eye a few weeks ago. This humorous and thought provoking picture book starts out by focusing on Mr. Tiger's very uptight lifestyle; prim, proper, and oh, so boring! Being unhappy with the phony baloney circumstances of his town (where all the animal inhabitants walk upright and wear dreary, monochromatic, Victorian era clothing), makes him want to turn over a new leaf. He first decides to loosen up a bit by getting down on all fours. Right off the bat, this makes him feel like a brand new, more natural tiger. To celebrate this newly found life's joy and to let off some pent up steam, he roars his loudest roar ever!
All his animal friends are shocked by this behavior. Mr. Tiger's new ways are totally unacceptable and against all the proper protocols of their little society. But the animal citizens of this somber and stodgy town haven't seen anything yet, as Mr. Tiger discards his fussy top hat, his drab suit and his oh, so sensible shoes. Au naturel, he runs into the wilderness to bond with the truly natural world that surrounds him, with his orange, white and black streaked fur on fast, furious and fabulous display.
However there is one drawback to this self imposed exile to freedom; he misses his friends and even the city he escaped from. After a while he returns to see that a lot has changed for the better there; more tolerance and freedom for all. By taking that first risky step himself and leading by example, Mr. Tiger made a positive impression on his friends and they in turn made positive changes in their own lives as well. In short, everyone was much happier being themselves. And that was indeed a very good --- no, a very great thing!
The message of the necessity to be true to oneself, and that by adopting this adage other good things will follow, could not be more clearly expressed than in this simply written, yet visually sophisticated volume.
It's a Roaring good time!
I love the way Eoin Colfer writes. I was hooked on his book "Benny and Omar" then I got hooked on the Artemis Fowl series. I just finished his book "The Wish List" and am still happy with his brand of writing. In The Wish List Meg and Belch are robbing an old man. Meg is reluctant and basically a good girl but Belch is rotten. When the old man pulls a shotgun Belch sic's Raptor, his Rottweiler on the old man. Meg tries to help out, Belch is not happy. Meg jumps out the window and Belch follows her. Belch has the shotgun and in the ensuing struggle it goes off and a gas generator explodes killing Meg, Belch and Raptor. Now the twist, up until then it was a regular story but Eoin Colfer does not write just regular stories. Meg finds herself given a second chance. St. Peter gives her a chance to redeem herself and he sends her back to earth to help the old man. Belch has merged with his dog Raptor and the Devil has sent back him back to make sure Meg fails so he could get her soul. It makes an entertaining read.
Bagels may not often described with the above adjectives, but Sharon Kahn's Fax me a bagel definitely fits the bill. The first in her Ruby, the rabbi's wife series, it is a quick and enjoyable read, with quirky characters and old technology (published in 1998 – can that really be fifteen years ago already – facsimile technology and the necessary accoutrements of a business have come a long way). If you enjoy this title, you'll be pleased to know that we have the rest of the series, which are six in total. Just beware: you may finish reading with a craving for bagels, though you may be as lucky as I was – and coincidentally be offered one. Just in case it wasn't a coincidence, my next read may be about winning the lottery!
Artemis Fowl is a 12 year old boy genius who kidnaps a fairy in order to get her gold. This is the first in a series and is titled Artemis Fowl. Artemis is what every 12 year old boy wants to be. His mom has dementia so he is not hampered by her rules and having to go to school, yet he does miss her and would still like to have her back as his mom. Artemis has a man servant with the last name of Butler who is huge and protects Artemis. The first thing that happens is that Artemis captures a fairy book. With this first chapter we are introduced to Artemis and find out that he has a castle, has a great computer network, that he is always two steps ahead of everyone and that Butler is very strong and dedicated. Artemis uses the knowledge in this fairy book to ambush Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy unit. He holds her hostage and demands a ton of gold. The fairies try to get Holly back but are defeated time after time by Artemis. Root, a commander in the LEPrecon unit decides to send in a dwarf named Mulch. This book is written for a teen age audience. It is heavy into to fairies, dwarfs, goblins, trolls etc. It also has the gassy fart humor that teen age boys enjoy. The drawf can unhinge his jaw and tunnel through dirt. Prior to starting he also opens the back flap of his tunneling pants because what goes in the jaw comes out the other end. He also builds up a tremendous amount of air pressure and he actually is able to use this to incapacitate Butler. This book is full of details about fairy life. This is book one of a series. I got my copy from KPL's digital audio collection but we also have them in hard copy. I look forward to "reading" (having them read to me) the others.
I was excited to discover that Fay Weldon has a new novel out, Habits of the house, the first of a planned trilogy. Set in England at the end of the 19th century, it follows the attempts of the Earl of Dilberne to solidify his family's financial situation. From a brief summary I've read, it sounds like a rich American heiress might save this titled British family teetering on the brink of financial ruin, but in Weldon's hands, it is sure to be a compelling and surprising read (and surely all the Dilbernes' problems will not be solved by the end of the first book). When I learned of the existence of this book, I immediately placed a hold on it, and I'm going to read it while I await the arrival of Mary Roach's newest book, Gulp.
Davy Rothbart's life is anything but ordinary. This Ann Arbor native and creator of Found Magazine has an endless yearning for new experiences, exhibits a complete fearlessness of strangers, and falls in "love" with every pretty girl he meets, however briefly that meeting may be (if you have dark eyes, long hair, and work at a Subway—watch out!). My Heart Is an Idiot, Rothbart's new collection of essays, chronicles the adventures he stumbles upon, or rather creates, in his travels across the U.S. Rothbart has the ability to make friends with anyone and everyone, and that talent, combined with a restlessness that compels him to constantly be on the move, makes for some very crazy encounters. Hitchhiking? There's plenty of that. Traveling across the country for a girl he barely knows? Sure! Dead man in a pool? Yeah, he found one once. I can't say that his writing is the best or that his constant pursuit of unrealistic romance didn't get tiresome, but the weird situations and odd coincidences in these stories make My Heart Is an Idiot entertaining. His heart is definitely an idiot, but at least it's a charming, adventurous one.
…the library has you covered. The world may end in nine days (and many of our survival skill books are checked out already), but if it doesn't, you may want to check out The worst-case scenario survival handbook: holidays. According to the cover, it will show you how to prevail against hordes of shoppers OR reindeer. I think it also has tips for tough family situations.

Women's Soccer Heads to Georgetown
OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton women's soccer team wraps up its road schedule at Georgetown on Sunday, Oct. 20 at 12 pm.
Last Week:
10/12: L, 1-2 (ot) vs. DePaul - Morrison Stadium
This Week:
10/17: L, 0-2 at Villanova - Villanova Soccer Stadium
10/20: at Georgetown - Shaw Field - 12:00 p.m. (CT)
Scouting Creighton (9-5-1, 2-3-1 BIG EAST):
Facing just its second two-match losing streak of the season, Creighton battles another of the BIG EAST top dogs in Georgetown on Sunday. The Bluejays match at Georgetown is their conference road finale.
After scoring in bunches early in the season, Creighton has knocked in more than one goal in merely one BIG EAST match (a 3-2 win at Providence). The decline in offensive output has placed increased pressure on freshman goalkeeper Danielle Rice. Although the Texas native has notched four shutouts, including two in BIG EAST play, she has allowed two goals in the other four conference contests.
To topple the Hoyas, Creighton will not leading scorer Kirstyn Corder to get back on track. Corder scored the game winning goal at Providence and at Seton Hall, but has not had a goal since the 1-0 win over the Pirates on Oct. 6.
Scouting Georgetown (12-1-2, 4-1-1 BIG EAST)
One of the preseason favorites in the BIG EAST, Georgetown has lived up to the hype with an impressive 12-1-2 mark this season. The Hoyas only stumbles in BIG EAST action was a conference opening tie with DePaul and a 4-0 loss to Marquette. With the Blue Demons facing Marquette on Sunday, Georgetown can all but secure a bye into the BIG EAST Tournament with a victory on Sunday.
The Hoyas strength has been their second half play, outscoring opponents 29-6. The tandem of Kaitlin Brenn and Daphne Corboz are tied for the team lead with 22 points, Brenn has reached the total with eight goals and six assists, while Corboz has six goals and 10 helpers.
Three different Hoyas have seen time in the net in 2013, but the primary goalkeeper has been Emma Newins. Sporting a 9-1-1 record thsi season, Newins has 44 saves and a 0.72 Goals Against Average (GAA).

The lights are on
If you don't think Lost is the best show on TV, you need to move on to another group.
It's coming baby, and it's gonna be awesome. So, what happened after the big explosion that left the biggest mind-raping cliff hanger of all time? Why are there freaking polar bears on a tropical island? How are people traveling through time? Will Kate finally be useful after many seasons of being "the love-interest character". Is Hurley ever gonna stop being awesome (Hint: Never)? Why doesn't any of this plot make sense and yet we keep coming back for more because it's so freaking awesome?
All shall be answered when it premiers this February. Also: Charlie is still missed by me :(
Enigma's Blog
well we need to find who has a green eye first and will sayide die and what about fake locke will the smoke moster be revieled and will hurley finnaly kill someone who knows
I thank tha season 6 will be the most intence one yet and as staange as it sound I thing Charley is coming back in the final season. Realistically a nuke going off would easily kill everyone without even trying so its going to neat
I just watched it...........my mind has officially been blown. And I think I just gasmed when I realized that Charlie was back, he's the best character in the entire show.......so mind blowing.
i think it was one of the best episode yet my mind was blown also
The man in black is the smoke monster a.k.a John Locke who had Ben kill Jacob so that he could return home. I'm satisfied to know that, because they didn't rise another question when the other was finally answered! But alas, I'm raising my own: Why did the smoke monster kill numerous other people who then whispered some creepy dialog into the others ear. And who is coming, who is this, "They" that Jacob speaks of!
Another interesting introduction was the dirty pool of water? Is this the center of the Islands healing power? Is Sayid now evil? Let's just say, I'm blow from my skull to see the next episode!
I think that the "they" is the smoke monster. I am also thinking that maybe Sayid is not evil, but instead a reincarnation of Jacob. Also did anyone else think that the two separate time lines might actually be dimensions based on the whole quantum suicide and immortality and schrodingers cat theory's.
I'm with Tiki. I've been reading various chatter around the Net, and it all points to Sayid being Jacob. Explains why Sayid couldn't die or else bad things would happen, doesn't it? So, it all points to Sayid and PsuedoLocke having some big battle (quite possibly the last battle). I'm wondering where they're going with the whole split dimension thing. I understand that it's what would have happened if 815 didn't crash, but where are Lindelof and co. taking it to? I think we all can agree on that: 1) Jack will somehow surgically repair Locke, and 2) Christian's coffin is gone, and it will not be able to be found. Can't wait for next Tuesday!
What would the world be like if everything suddenly disappeared?
Well by the looks of episode 3 of lost, Syid is not Jacob, and is going to turn into a wild man!
My mind was blown (again) after last night. Especially with Pseudo Locke showing Sawyer the cave with the weights and the names, I really got excited about the fact that we are starting to get some answers. The flash sideways with Locke and Linus had me in stitches for a good 5 minutes, as well as Linus' words after Lapidus, Sun and Ilana buried Locke. I wish Claire had been on (even if briefly- I want to know what her and Sayid's deals are with being "infected"). Regarding Kate's name not being on the cave, I think that the candidate protectors can only be men (so Jin would be the candidate, not his wife). Sawyer is going to play Psuedo Locke like a piano, I'm calling it already. No way is he that stupid to let that evil off of the island. Finally, who is the little boy? I thought he resembled Jacob, but other places on the Net are saying it could be Aaron or a younger Sawyer.
Crappy, there wouldn't be a lost.... lol
Get your Portable ID!
Just found this group! Personally I use the lost forums for all my lost discussion but its nice to see we have a little community here as well. Season 6 is going strong! It seems to me the end is way further away than it really is though... the writers must have something up their sleves, eh?
so far I think the candinateds are the numbers that kepp apprearing any connection
DOGEN.... R.I.P.... :(.... oh and his sidekick the hippy dude...
PS. I hate Sayid twenty times more now!!!!
I don't know what they're doing to this show. This night's episode really bothered me because Sayid just isn't like that. It doesn't make sense to his character. I guess it's possible that he's not really Sayid because he was dead for 2 hours but that lesser plotline is getting annoying because it's just being used to put the characters in opposition to each other so they can fight. It's getting dumb.

|Secret Service Called In; 17 $100 Bogus Bills Found
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 24 June 2013 14:47
Lenoir Police arrested a Morganton man Friday after over a dozen counterfeit $100 bills were seized at a Lenoir restaurant. 58-year old Tommy Gregory Edmisten was charged with possession of five or more counterfeit instruments and attempting to obtain property by false pretense.
The Investigation leading up to the arrest began two days earlier, when Lenoir Police received a complaint of counterfeit currency from the FATZ Restaurant on Blowing Rock Road. Management informed officers that Edmisten attempted to pay for a meal with a counterfeit $100 dollar bill. Officers interviewed Edmisten at the restaurant and seized a total of seventeen counterfeit $100 dollar bills, then arrested Edmisten on an unrelated outstanding warrant from Burke County for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The Secret Service then joined the investigation, and Edmisten was charged Friday, and placed in the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $20,000 dollar secure bond. Investigators said the probe is on-going, more arrests pending.

Ms. Pac-Man (Commodore 64)
Published by
Developed by
Also For
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionIn 1981, a sequel to Pac-Man was introduced in the form of his girlfriend, Ms. Pac-Man. This sequel continued on the "eat the dots/avoid the ghosts" gameplay of the original game, but added new features to keep the title fresh.
Like her boyfriend, Ms. Pac-Man attempts to clear four various and challenging mazes filled with dots and ever-moving bouncing fruit while avoiding Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Sue, each with their own personalities and tactics. One touch from any of these ghosts means a loss of life for Ms. Pac-Man.
Ms. Pac-Man can turn the tables on her pursuers by eating one of the four Energizers located within the maze. During this time, the ghosts turn blue, and Ms. Pac-Man can eat them for bonus points (ranging from 200, 400, 800 and 1600, progressively). The Energizer power only lasts for a limited amount of time, as the ghost's eyes float back to their center box, and regenerate to chase after Ms. Pac-Man again.
Survive a few rounds of gameplay, and the player will be treated to humorous intermissions showing the growing romantic relationship between Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, leading all the way up to the arrival of "Junior".

1001 Video GamesThe Arcade version of Ms. Pac-Man appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Board game adaptionIn 1982 Milton-Bradley released a board game adaptation of this video game.
GhostsWhile three of the ghosts returned from the original Pac-Man game, the orange ghost (Pokey/Clyde) was made female, and given the nickname "Sue". Sue was later depicted as a purple ghost, first in the animated series, then in later versions of the game. Sue is also named after the sister of original General Computer hacker Doug Macrae.
Launch gameMs. Pac-Man was one of the "Fabulous Eleven" launch games for the Atari 7800.
TitleOnce her initial leggy incarnation as Crazy Otto had been shelved, Ms. Pac-Man went through a baffling array of name changes: Pac-Woman was eventually vetoed by female employees of Midway, and revised to Miss Pac-Man -- until someone noticed that animated inter-scene depictions of the male and female Pac-Men getting together and producing a child now illustrated a bastard birth out of wedlock. From there, it shuffled to Mrs. Pac-Man and, at the last minute (within 72 hours of the production line startup of the original coin-ops) finalised as Ms. Pac-Man.
TV series referenceThe game is referenced in season 5, episode 18 (Meet the Quagmires) of the animated TV series Family Guy. Peter Griffin, one of the main characters, is shown playing the arcade game of Ms. Pac-Man is 1984. The following conversation ensues:
Woman: Wow, you're really good at this game!
Peter Griffin: Yeah, I've logged a lot of game hours on Menstrual Ms. Pac-Man.
[in the game, we see Ms. Pac-Man eating her way across the screen, with 4 ghosts following her. Suddenly she turns toward them]
Ms. Pac-Man: WHAT?! WHAT?! [the ghosts quickly run away]
Blinky: Geeze.
Clyde: Nothing.
Sue: Bitch.
Unauthorized releaseThe arcade game Ms. Pac-Man was not created or authorized by Namco, who holds the original license. The idea behind this game was to make an upgrade for Pac-Man called "Crazy Otto", developed by General Computer Corporation (GCC). GCC approached Midway Manufacturing about buying the upgrade, which Midway did. Midway (Namco's American distributor) then altered Crazy Otto to make Ms. Pac-Man.
Midway (a division of Bally, at the time) released Ms. Pac-Man (unauthorized), but after a year they passed the rights of the game and character to Namco so that Namco would not sue them or withdraw their licensing agreement.
Unfortunately, Midway did not learn its lesson and created a number of other unlicensed versions of Pac-Man (like Pac-Man Plus, Baby Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man), which caused Namco to finally withdraw their agreement.

These pictures look like pure summer!ReplyDelete
Sorry about your bad day :( I've def been having a few of those lately. Hope the rest of your week goes better!ReplyDelete
No rain, no rainbows <3ReplyDelete
gorgeous photos and just love your shoes!ReplyDelete
kw, ladiesinnavy
Tieka! I seriously love how real you are. I hope tomorrow is beautiful for you.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos. All you need for summer is a perfect dress, don't feel bad at all!ReplyDelete
This is a great stand alone dress! The print is so dynamic that you really don't need anything else to set it off! The t-strap heels are cute too!!ReplyDelete
I couldn't agree more. This is a really inspiring post, most of us have days where things don't go to plan. It makes us question why our idealistic life we dream of isn't going to plan. Things will fall into place and we learn from every step we take. That sounds real cheesy but it's true. One thing though, I am not optimistic about summer in the UK, I fear it will never come.ReplyDelete
Love your dress! Perfect summer outfit and great pictures!ReplyDelete
Lovely dress hun and totally agree with what you are saying too :) xxReplyDelete
Pretty dress. A dress with flower print is really a must have in summer. Love the pictures. They are amazingReplyDelete
xo, Petra
I absolutely love you for being so real. You inspire me SO much! I tend to be too much of a perfectionist and it brings me down sometimes. We just need to be happy with the little things and let go of things that don't go perfectly as planned. Thanks for this! And you look GORGEOUS as always! Such a pretty dress and photos.ReplyDelete
I love this dress, and it looks adorable on you! Keep wearing dresses... don't feel guilty for it at all!ReplyDelete
Annnd I needed to read this. Not every day will be a good one. Most are just bad-average. It's what makes the good days, good! Right?!
it's very pretty, I wish i had one t-strap shoes like that, nice :)ReplyDelete
Love the light in these pictures, so pretty! I totally get what you're saying, I'm very much the same & I've been trying to work on it too :) Good luck!ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos! I'm an idealist, too, even though I wouldn't like to admit it most of the time. Good for you, trying to appreciate the things you have :).ReplyDelete
Oh no, I'm sorry about your bad day. :( things will get better! I totally understand the need for just wearing a dress when it's hot, and I assure you that none of us mind one little bit :) xxReplyDelete
Beautiful dress!ReplyDelete
Tieka these photos and that dress are so stunning. I have the same guilty thoughts about just posting simple dresses but sometimes simple is really good, you look gorgeous here so no need to over think anything! Sorry to hear about your bad day, but bad days just make us appreciate the good days even more.ReplyDelete
take care xxx
such a beautiful dress!ReplyDelete
from helen at www.thelovecatsinc.com // @thelovecatsinc
I'm right with you on the idealism thing. I always want the perfect outfit for the perfect event with the perfect weather and the perfectly behaved kids and, then, when one of those things get thrown from a loop, I don't know how to feel about the situation. Is it ruined because it rained when we wanted it to shine? Is it ruined because my four year old threw a fit? No, not really. But sometimes life has a way of making us feel that way. When we crack our phone screens (just did that sister, and I spent the day much like you did) or simply have an "off" day, it doesn't mean that the rest of the week has ruined.ReplyDelete
On a side note, I think these photos are amazing. You don't look sad, unmotivated or anything of the sort in them.
I'm trying to pick just one thing a day to be grateful for, it's supposed to improve your happiness... It sounds new age or something, but I can always find at least one this before I check my email at work :)ReplyDelete
On bad days, I always resort to fried food...always :)ReplyDelete
Being able to wear dresses on their own is one of my favorite parts of summer. It's so effortless and comfortable. Sorry you had a bad day, but it looks like taking pictures in a field was just what you needed to cheer up!ReplyDelete
Lovely lovely dress! xxReplyDelete
I love dresses for the same reason! So easy and painless!ReplyDelete
xoxox Shay
You look beautiful!!ReplyDelete
Much Love
Lately I've been thinking a lot about the idealism thing. I'm such a perfectionist too! I get so frustated when things don't go as I've planned, which is often, since I want everything to be perfect. But, these days I'm trying to focus on the many amazing things I have instead of been sad for some things I miss. It's not easy, but I'm doing my best most of the time. I'm sure you will have a great summer, & soon you will remember these days as a growing up & lifechanging experience.ReplyDelete
Oh, about the dresses & summer, I think it's great that you post what you really wear, instead of styling something only for the blog. I choose reality over variety any time.
There's nothing wrong with just a dress! The dress speaks for itself, it's gorgeous. So sorry you had a bad day, but you sound like you did a good job picking yourself up :)ReplyDelete
I really like dresses that can stand alone or be all dolled up for spring and fall. That print looks beautiful on you!ReplyDelete
I'm working on the same thing, I have grass-is-always-greener syndrome lately, trying to focus on the present moment!

Gosh darn it I love the sun shinning through this picture. You look so happy and look so lovely.ReplyDelete
love these photos! i had a pretty lame day too- i cheered myself up with banana pancakes and a hills marathon in bed. hope today is a better day for both of us! :)ReplyDelete
I can totally relate to only wearing dresses in the summer, but it's so easy, functional and cute all at the same time!ReplyDelete

You look so beautiful! Sometimes, a simple dress is just as stylish as an outfit with tons of accessories. Especially if you've got the talent to take beautiful photographs (and you do!) I'm sorry you had a bad day; hopefully tomorrow goes better!ReplyDelete
i love your outlook on life about always being happy about those things that we do have. so sorry to hear about your phone screen though. i would cry all day too. i hope you ate all the fried food you want. and of course, your dress is just perfect!!!!ReplyDelete

A little retail therapy goes a long way! I've been loving the dresses lately. The ones that can stand up on their own are my favorite!ReplyDelete
I had a pretty bad week last week :/ For me it also helped to focus on what I have and love (personally: I get to come home to a great apartment in a city I love, even if finding a parking spot is a b*tch). And taking care of myself, I cooked one of my favourite meals over the weekend, took a long walk and went to the zoo.ReplyDelete
Take care Tieka!
A tough few days for me too. Life always has it's ups and downs though, yes? You look so beautiful in these photos :)ReplyDelete
The sun is absolutely amazing in these photos! Keep your head help up and keep your positivity - it will get better :)ReplyDelete
xo Jennifer
I love how real you are. That's also exactly how I try and make a good day better, I hope it helped! Exercise is also a way that helps me vent my frustrations.ReplyDelete
Your dress is so adorable, pretty gal :)ReplyDelete
I had a rather unpleasant day today as well, but tomorrow is a new day! yay!
Way to stay positive and continue to have a great outlook on life!
Beautiful lighting in these pictures, and your dress is stunning. Love the print.ReplyDelete
that is a super cute summer dress <3 it looks adorable on you.ReplyDelete
I admire your positive attitude. Reading your blog brightens my day! I, being a teenager, look up to you. You truly are a positive role model, not only in my life, but in ALL your followers.ReplyDelete
One of my favorite quotes (though I can't remember who said it) is "The grass is greener where you water it." That has helped me through some of the not-so-good days. <3ReplyDelete
You look beautiful! Love that dress :)
Another wonderful dress and gorgeous photos!ReplyDelete
I love being able to dress simply in the summer! I am so much more comfortable in a dress than in jeans or a layered outfit--perfect for summer playing. you look gorgeous, as usual! Glad to hear you're embracing life and doing what you love. good for you, girlfran! xo.ReplyDelete
beautiful pictures. i love the the sunlight.ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry you had a bad day, Tiek. I've been having a few of those myself lately! But it sounds like you're going through a really healthy attitude change right now and all the bad stuff you are experiencing is making you even smarter and stronger. :)ReplyDelete
This outfit is so, so beautiful! That dress is pretty much a dream, oh my gosh. I've been a little bit in love with it since you posted it the first time around! Such beautiful colours and you look amazing in it.
What a pretty dress! Dreamy pictures too!ReplyDelete
That sun is glorious! You're absolutely glowing in these photos... and I remember that beautiful dress well, it looked great all layered up, and it's absolutely a stand out all on it's own too!! I may have a wee dress crush! ;)ReplyDelete
Aw, and sorry to hear about your rougher days. I've had a few good cries over the last few weeks too. Blah, they happen - but it sounds like you're coming to such a great place in your life and that's definitley what it's all about!! Big hugs! V
I am sorry you had not the best day, I some times have an issue being to idealistic too. Fried foods or carb overloading really does usually help though (until I am upset about THAT the next day, that is).ReplyDelete
Anyway, I completely agree on the simplicity of a dress, it's really all have been wearing. I will wear shorts in this heat IF and ONLY IF they have a nice elastic waistband and light material!
Your dress is gorgeous but my favorite thing about this is the BEAUTIFUL light! Did you take these in the "magic hour" before sunset? You are just glowing!
Hope today is better!
xo Hannah
Such pretty pictures! Love the sunlight and I adore what you are wearing<3ReplyDelete
I adore your dress and the light is perfect!ReplyDelete
This outfit is absolutely adorable! I especially like the lighting in these pictures. They are like golden rays of sunshine shining down on you. Literally! So flatteringReplyDelete

NEWPORT - With the threat of hostilities looming with North Korea, two local Korean War veterans have their own take on current tensions, the Korean conflict and America's peacekeeping role.
The solution to the Korean situation should have happened years ago, both said in a recent interview.
"If Truman let the U.S. go above the 38th parallel in 1953, we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore," said Bernard Burke.
"MacArthur was right," Frank Ormsbee agreed. "I think so; if you're in a war to win, you're in to win."
Burke and Ormsbee were both born in 1932 and graduated from Newport High School in 1952. They joined the Air Force following graduation and, along with two other "local boys," Donald LaPierre and Kenneth Buster Lagoon, joined the military. "We had to take turns three days in a row," recalled Burke. "The recruiter couldn't take us all at the same time."
For more on their story, see pages 1 and 10 of Monday's edition of The Newport Daily Express for April 22, 2013.

Review: Shaolin Qi Gong, by Shi Xinggui and Eleonore Vogl
By Gesigewigu's | Leave a comment
Shaolin Qi Gong: Energy in Motion, by Shi Xinggui and Eleonore Vogl Destiny Books, 9781594772641, 151 pp, 2008Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese form of exercise for both the body and the spirit, having roots back as far as three to five thousand years in our past. This book unfortunately does not touch too much on what makes Shaolin Qi Gong different than other forms of Qi Gong, but does explain that this system draws a difference between Hard Qi Gong, the more physical and martial forms and usage, and Soft Qi Gong, the internal, energetic form with more of a focus on healing and support.

Creighton was one of five schools to place multiple players on the 2012
Soccer America MVP Teams. The Bluejays were the only program to earn a pair of
spots on the Soccer America All-Freshman teams. Soccer America's MVPs were
introduced in 1976 and honor players who had the biggest impact on their team's
success regardless of position.
Gomez claimed Soccer America MVP First team honors as a midfielder while
Ribeiro earned a spot on the Soccer America MVP Second Team as a defender. Gal
and Pitter each won Soccer America First Team accolades at goalkeeper and
midfielder, respectively.
Last month Gomez and Ribeiro claimed NSCAA All-America First Team honors and
All-Midwest Region accolades as well as College Soccer News All-America team
selections. The senior captain duo helped lead the Bluejays to the College Cup
in back-to-back seasons for the first time in school history.
Gomez, one of three finalists for the 2012 MAC Hermann Trophy this month, is
the reigning 2012 Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Player of the Year and 2012
MVC Tournament MVP after helping the Jays claim their 13th Valley tournament
championship and 20th NCAA Tournament appearance.
The 2012 First Team All-MVC selection started all 24 matches for the
Bluejays this season. Gomez finished the year ranked No. 20 nationally and led
the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) with nine assists. His latest helper came
Dec. 2 in an NCAA quarterfinal win at No. 4 seed Connecticut on the
game-winning goal scored by Christian Blandon with 90 seconds remaining. The
senior co-captain completed 2012 at No. 71 in the country and second in the MVC
with 21 points this season (6 goals, 9 assists). He launched at least one shot
attempt in each match this season and recorded a shot on goal in 16 contests.
Earlier this season he earned an assist on all three CU goals at Princeton
(10/9), the first Bluejay to accomplish the feat since Nov. 8, 2008.
Ribeiro, the reigning 2012 MVC Defensive Player of the Year, started every
contest for CU this year. He also claimed an All-MVC First Team selection and
earned MVC All-Tournament team honors after scoring the game-winning goal against
SIU Edwardsville in the MVC Tournament Championship.
The senior earned MVC Defensive Player of the Week honors on three occasions
this season but was also a lethal threat on offense. Each of his final seven
goals at CU was a game-winning tally including three this season - two scored
against SIUE, the other against Washington in an NCAA Second Round match. This
season Ribeiro was named to Ameritas Classic All-Tournament Team and was also
recognized as part of the Creighton Invitational All-Tournament Team. He
led CU in time seen on the pitch, playing all but 48 minutes in 2012.
Pitter led the team with 24 points, 10 goals and 34 shots on goal this
season. He claimed 2012 All-Freshman First Team from College Soccer News last
month. He ended 2012 ranked nationally as the No. 4 freshman and No. 42 overall
with 10 goals. Pitter rated No. 5 nationally as
a freshman and No. 51 overall in NCAA Division I with 24 points scored in 2012. Pitter's 10 scores are the most by any CU freshman in
22 seasons dating back to 1990. That year former Creighton greats Brian Kamler
and Keith DeFini combined for 29 goals as a freshman duo. Kamler netted 10
goals while DeFini scored 19 in 1990.
Gal remained finished the year at 13-1-1 suffering his only loss of the
season in the Jays' final match of the season against Indiana at the College
Cup last month. He ended the season ranked
eighth nationally in goals against average (0.649) and seventh in the country
for save percentage (.851). Gal finished 2012 as the No. 1 freshman in save
percentage and goals against average.
Creighton, the MVC regular-season and tournament champion, finished its
season with a 17-4-3 mark following a 1-0 loss to eventual National Champion
Indiana last month in the College Cup Semifinals.

Growing up, Ogdensburg resident Alecia L. Brabant dreamed of helping others and traveling across the country.
After graduating with a bachelors degree in business and hotel restaurant tourism management from SUNY Plattsburgh in 2013, friends and family suggested the 23-year-old apply to serve in the AmeriCorps, a national community service organization.
Ms. Brabant arrived at her regional campus in Denver, Colo., in October to begin a month of training. On Nov. 9, she began a 10-month term of service in the National Civilian Community Corps, a residential national service program that supports disaster relief, the environment, infrastructure improvement, energy conservation, and urban and rural development.
As part of the program, she will complete a series of six to eight week-long service projects as part of a 10-to-12 person team. The teams first service project, working at a 2,400-acre 4-H camp in Little Rock, Ark., ended mid-December.
Working over 70 hours a week outside, Ms. Brabant and her AmeriCorps team cleared over 300 tons of brush, dug through miles of dirt and rock, chopped trees, and built rope courses and trails.
The work was exhausting, but also rewarding, Ms. Brabant said.
Were working and day in and day out with people that need our help, she said. Its so great to be around them and look at their faces and to hear them say thanks for being here and doing what youre doing. I just like being in the area, being aware of whats going on, and actually doing something to make a difference.
Ms. Brabant admits she did not know fully what to expect when she first signed up to serve in the AmeriCorps.
My expectation was I was going to work really hard for really long hours, Ms. Brabant said. I was a little afraid of working, sleeping and traveling to different states with 10 other people from all over the country. It was completely different from what I was used to – to constantly be accounted for and accounting for other people. Its a whole different lifestyle.
As part of her second service project in Kansas City, Mo., Ms. Brabant is providing tax services to low-income families.
None of us planned on or knew we would be doing this when we started, but all of a sudden we were told we would be certified by the IRS to prepare taxes, Ms. Brabant said. They provide you with the skills and training, and they are also really great skills to have once you leave the program.
Ms. Brabant said she and her team have already helped return over $200,000 to taxpayers in five days.
Kansas City is different from Ogdensburg and any other place I have ever been, she said. I have never seen a place with so much character and with people from all different walks of life. For many people here, they need a refund check to survive. Just the perspective you gain on the country and life in general while serving is amazing.
Ms. Barabant is the daughter of Robert C. Brabant and MaryAnne Carroll, both of Ogdensburg.

If you're one of those persons who pride themselves on their bargaining and negotiating skills, Thailand is the place to seriously hone those skills.What's more, once the deal is done, you will often be complimented on driving a hard bargain.The fact is that if you don't even make an attempt to bring down the price, you'll be essentially driving up the price for those who follow in your wake.The starting price is not the selling price, outside of department stores.
And what's more, there is no shortage of places to seek those special bargains, from walking streets to night markets.You'd be well-advised to avoid the malls, shopping centers, and department stores as much as possible during your stay.Many of those items can be found where you come from; it's on the streets and in the markets where you'll find not only the low-cost curios and gifts, but the most amazing deals.
A curious feature of shopping in Thailand is that one hardly needs to leave the street and enter the mall, shopping center, or store.
If the street shopping is still not cheap enough for you, you'll need to get outside the tourist areas a bit, wear your older clothes to look less prosperous, and put on your bargaining hat.

Ok, I'll admit that I'm posting this review just to see what it does to my BPL rating. Oh the vanity!I bought this bag sight unseen, based largely on Western Mountaineering's reputation within the backpacking community. I'm sure this isn't uncommon as there aren't many retailers that stock WM's products. Also considered at the time of purchase were the Feathered Friends Hummingbird, Marmot Helium, and Moonstone Lucid, and a few others. All were around the same price so when I settled on the Ultralight it was because I felt it offered the best set of features of all the bags I researched and was made in the USA to boot. The bag comes with a large cotton storage sack and a 7x13 nylon stuff sack.I've since spent about a dozen nights in the bag, my wife an additional 4-5. Temperatures have ranged from 60 degrees F down close to the bag's suggested limit of 20 degrees F. Conditions have ranged from clear and dry to humidity so high that thick fog didn't lift all night.Materials and Construction: My first impression of the bag was that it is very well constructed. I have no reason to believe I will form a different opinion over the years that I will own the bag. All of the stitching is impeccable. The materials are well selected. The shell fabric is thin and, while it beads water very well (I never have to worry about condensation or the occasional spill), it does allow strong wind gusts to penetrate the bag. I can compensate for this with my shelter, however. Overall, the Ultralight might be the best engineered piece of outdoor equipment I own. The only quality issue I've had was when the stuff sack's draw cord became fouled in its plastic barrel lock. A sharp burr on the lock caused the woven cord to fray. WM immediately shipped me a new stuff sack at their expense.Fit: I bought the medium, sized for those up to 6' tall. The Ultralight is cut slim to save weight. It's the slimmest cut mummy bag I've ever used but I like the tighter fit as it gives me an extra little feeling of security. I'm 6' even and 200 lbs with fairly broad shoulders. If I were any larger in girth, I would probably have gone with WM's Alpinlight which is essentially the same bag, cut slightly bigger. As it is I have just enough room to wear my Patagonia Micropuff in the bag without compromising the jacket's loft. My wife at 5'8" and, ahem, average weight, fits in the bag comfortably without too much extra room to warm up.Weight and Packed Size: Tips my scales at 26.5 ounces, just 0.5 ounces heavier than advertised by WM. I hope that additional half-ounce is extra down filling! The stuff sack weighs 1.8 ounces. I have never compressed the bag smaller than the provided stuff sack but I have no doubt it would fit into a sack smaller by several inches in each dimension without much effort required.Loft: Tricky to measure consistently but close enough to the 5 inches advertised to make me happy.Features: Western Mountaineering calls the bag the Ultralight 'Super' in reference to the full 'super' draft collar. This down filled tube lines the top opening of the bag and securing a small velcro tab connects the tube's two ends, sealing the bag from the neck down. The draft collar can be cinched tight via a thin elastic cord threaded around the collar. This feature does a great job of extending the bag's temp rating as there is no 'bellows effect' of warm air escaping as you move inside the bag. A real plus! The bag has a full length, two-way zipper (making foot venting easy) accompanied by a draft tube. I'll go ahead and declare the zipper snag-proof. I tried purposely to snag it and, due to a generous strip of stiffening tape lining the zipper, I couldn't get it to catch the bag's fabric. It's by far the best zipper on any bag I've used. When fully zipped, the zipper pull can be covered with a small velcro patch but I've never observed the zipper to move during the night. The bag's full hood also has the usual draw cord closure. Both this and the drawstring included in the draft collar are well-placed and easy to operate in the dark. The Ultralight is continuously baffled which makes it easy to shift the down around as needed. In warmer conditions, the full length zipper makes it possible to use the bag as a quilt.Performance: This is where the bag shines. I've never had the bag below 20 degrees F but I have no doubt that the Ultralight would be sufficient into the teens and colder with some additional clothing. In temps down to 30 degrees I wear no more than thin tights and short-sleeved shirt and have never been cold. Only when temps drop into the 20's have I added a hat or long-sleeved shirt. As stated previously, I'm sure the addition of gloves, heavier baselayer, and an insulating vest or jacket would get me down into single digits tolerably. My wife, predictably, places the comfort rating about 5-10 degrees higher than I do.Dislikes: My only gripe about the Ultralight is the hood. It's a bit shallow and could use some minor redesign. I feel it fits awkwardly across my face when fully cinched. I'd gladly suffer the weight penalty to have a down-filled face muff similar to the one on Marmot's 800+ FP down bags. The hood is warm but I don't feel the design is up to the extraordinarily high standard of the rest of the bag.Summary: I love it. My favorite piece of gear. Since I can't quite bring myself to make the jump to quilts, I feel the Ultralight Super offers me the best set of features in a dependable, super-lightweight package. With Western Mountaineering's reputation for quality and durability, I know I will be using this bag for many years. I have difficulty finding anything other than minor nitpicks with the bag as a whole. The one exception is the hood design, which might make me select a rating of 4.5, were I given the option by BPL.
When I first bought this bag, I couldn't get over how beautiful it was -- so light, so well-made.... And the fact that the manufacturer was in my neck of the woods was a bonus.The maiden voyage was a thru-hike of the JMT in September. After two weeks, it still looked like new. It didn't keep me completely warm when the temps went below freezing (I sleep very cold), but I've since started using a thicker pad which has helped.I agree with the other reviewer about the shallow hood, but it didn't bother me that much. It compacts amazingly small, and best of all (at least for me) is the full-length zipper. As my summer bag, I want it to be as versatile as possible, so being able to vent in warmer weather is great. My winter bag has a 3/4 zipper, but I don't want that in my summer bag.WM bags aren't cheap, but I think they're high quality and definitely worth the investment.
Rating: 1 / 5
The bag is NARROW!So tight it cuts off the circulation.There is no way a grown men can be comfortable in this bag.A large men will not even be able to zip it up.
I own 4 high quality Down sleeping bags and this is my current go-to fav! I'm 6'1", 185 lbs., and there is plenty of room in this bag to layer up with some extra clothes IF NEEDED to get down to 15 degrees. This bag is actually much rommier then the Mammot and MB when comparing super UL bags in the 20 degree range. Amazing how this bag stuffs soo small but take it out and give it a few quick shakes and it lofts MORE then any bag I have ever seen or used. Only slight negative is on the fabric breathability. Long 7 to 10 day hikes require that I try and dry the bag as much as possible to keep moisture at bay. This could be a problem with ANY bag .. I don't know as this is the only bag I ever take when going on long hikes where the weather is uncertain.

SL, you must be a big dude ;)The only change I'd make to mine is to slim it down a bit, but I'm skinny.Otherwise, it's Western Mountaineering. Bomber quality and attention to detail. The temp rating is accurate to conservative, the draft collar is fantastic, and if you take care the bag lasts and lasts. Mine is 4+ years old and good as new.
I love this bag. Lofts up wicked fast, never leaks feathers, packs small (for a 20 degree bag), spot on temp rating for me and my wife. The regular length definitely runs a bit short, I'm 5'8" and 160 and I don't think someone over 5'10" would like it, although I wish it were a bit narrower in the shoulder. My wife is 5'5" and 120 and she has the 5'6" length with an overfill. She likes the fit, but also wouldn't mind snugger in the shoulders.With capilene 2 baselayers this bag goes down to 20 degrees for us just fine. Wearing Patagonia down sweater vest we took them down to the lower teens.
Important! this bag could be too narrow who is larger torso/wider shoulder. bought it for my man but it didn't work for him - he liked megalite.otherwise a great bag for those who sleep on a colder side and/or hike in higher elevation conditions. for those who slept in highlite several nights and got cold, and don't want to relive this experience again by pushing the limits of their sleep system, this bag is highly recommended. don't look any further.
This is my favorite sleeping bag. If I could only have one 3 season bag this would be it. Its warm and I find the temperature rating to be accurate. Sometimes during the summer I'll unzip it and use it like a quilt and just sleep on the pad. I'm 6 foot and 190 lbs and it fits me okay. I have the long model. I love this bag.
Love it. I use a silk liner and wear a 200 weight merino beanie to sleep almost regardless of temperature to help keep the bag clean. Additionally, with said liner and beanie plus lightweight baselayers I've taken the bag below its temp rating without issue - 10 degrees, no problem (don't think I'd be saying that w/o the draft collar). Full-zip means you can open it to vent your feet or unzip completely and use it like a quilt on warmer nights. Zipper guard makes zip pretty much impossible to snag. Compresses plenty small, although I would not recommend compressing it further than, say, 8L (it can get smaller, but you run the risk of damaging the bag). Near as light as you can get for a full-zip 20 degree bag w/ draft collar. One small tradeoff in that the bag has a rather narrow cut, try for size before you buy. Depending on your size or preference to stretch out, you might be better off with the big folks' version of this bag - the equally excellent, slightly more expensive/heavier Alpenlite. For what it's worth, I am 5'8", 175lbs, peak shoulder girth 50.5", hips 40.5", and I find the 6'0" bag provides me with ample length and enough girth in the shoulders/thighs to be called comfortable.

Riding to work is one of the easiest ways of incorporating some daily exercise into your routine. Never mind stuffy gyms and exercise bikes, nothing beats feeling the wind in your hair and the sun on your face - even the occasional downpour can be refreshing and you'll arrive at the workplace feeling more alive than the poor, old motorist who is still stuck in the traffic jam you just whizzed past. However, many people think - wrongly, as it happens - that cycling is very dangerous.

A special study on job vacancies in Utah has just been release by the Department of Workforce Services (DWS). It is on the DWS website at http://jobs.utah.gov/opencms/wi/pubs/jvs/jvs12.pdf.
The Job Vacancy Study, conducted during the second quarter of 2012, measured the quantity and characteristics of job openings in Utah by six geographic areas: Statewide, Metropolitan, Northern, Southwestern, non-metropolitan and the Uintah Basin.
The study found that Utah's hiring environment has improved substantially since last surveyed in 2009. Some highlights from the study:
There were approximately 27,600 job openings in Utah at any time during the second quarter of 2012. The average offered wage of these openings was $14.10 an hour.
Computer software developers and registered nurses were among the most in-demand occupations that required postsecondary training.
Production related occupations led all major occupational groups in the northern region with 187 openings.
More than 46 percent of the openings in non-metropolitan Utah were of seasonal or temporary status, compared to only 12.4 percent statewide.
Openings filled fastest in the southwestern region, with 80 percent open less than 60 days.
Major occupational groups associated with natural resource extraction activities accounted for one third of all job openings in the Uintah Basin.

What's that smell around town? It's not what you think
MOXEE, Wash. -- Many of you have been wondering what that stench was around town. Some thought it smelled like pot and others like cigar smoke.
The East Valley fire department said the smell was actually from a massive hay fire that sparked Monday morning.
It happened at Devries Dairy Farm near Moxee. Some of the hay was still smoldering Tuesday.
The owner of the farm estimates up to 400 tons of hay burned.
"Anytime you lose something of that value it's always psychologically hard on you -- just mentally thinking about the fact that you lost it," said farm owner Tom Devries.
Firefighters blame spontaneous combustion.
A level two burn pan was put in place today for Yakima County. Conditions are expected to improve by Thursday.
