Just like that, Kings back in series after late surge in Game 2
On the verge of going back to Los Angeles trailing 2-0 in the series, the Kings made their presence known, scoring six straight goals in their comeback win over the Blackhawks.
CHICAGO -- In two games in the Western Conference Finals, the Los Angeles Kings have yet to lead through an entire period. They have yet to score the first goal, falling behind the Chicago Blackhawks in both games.
By all accounts, the Kings have played only one solid period of hockey. They have shown flashes of their suffocating defense but have yet to play a complete game. So why do they have the Blackhawks scared?
Playoff mystique.
"We've seen this team in the playoffs, what they've been able to do when their backs are against the wall," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville. "They're relentless in a lot of ways. We got to make sure when we get a chance like tonight, we got to put 'em away."
Left for dead is when the Kings are at their best. On the verge of going back to Los Angeles trailing 2-0 in the series, they made their presence known.
Kings finally solve Blackhawks with six-goal eruption in Game 2
Instead of putting them away, the Blackhawks gave up six unanswered goals, three of which were credited to Jeff Carter. The Carter line, featuring rookies Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli on the wings, was responsible for the final three goals of the game while Carter also scored on the power play when his defensemen, Drew Doughty and Alec Martinez, made the initial play.
"I don't know. It just seemed like they got better," said Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford. "It's too many. It's too many. It's going to be tough to win a hockey game when you give up that many goals in a short amount of time. Can't be giving up that, or how many goals it was in the third. You'll definitely lose a hockey game giving up that many goals up in one period."
The penalty kill failed the Blackhawks for the first time this postseason. Much has been made about their ability to kill penalties and rightfully so, but the slot seemed a little less crowded as a close score sent the Blackhawks into a tailspin, leaving little room for error.
Doughty ripped a long shot from high right through the slot and it hit Carter's stick on the way in. Less than three minutes and another minor penalty later, defenseman Jake Muzzin slapped one from the left circle and Crawford never had a chance.
The Kings had their first lead of the series and wouldn't relinquish it.
"Once that team gets a lead, they're pretty good with a lead," Crawford said. "We needed a big stop on the second (power play). The first power play they got one, we needed a big kill and they got another one that kind of took everything out of us, that second power play."
The Blackhawks, the team that figured out how to foil the Kings' postseason prowess last year, have suddenly become desperate to decipher their playoff secrets.
"We know what it takes," said the Blackhawks' Kris Versteeg. "From day to day, the momentum doesn't really carry. We just have to be ready for the start of Game 3 and find a way to win in their building and hopefully come home with the series lead. We know it's not going to be easy. We're going to have to find ways to dig down deep and play our best hockey."

Le Metier de Beaute Platinum True Color Eyeshadow ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a light-medium silver with a frosted, metallic sheen. Applied dry, it had good color payoff and a frosted finish, while applied wet, it took on a more metallic finish and was fully opaque. The texture was soft, finely-milled, and smooth. It lasted nine hours on the lid without creasing or fading (no primer). Disney Glass Slipper is bluer. L'Oreal Primped & Precious is darker. Lancome Style Section is darker. bareMinerals Cheers is lighter, less metallic. Inglot #447 is warmer, lighter. See comparison swatches.Read Full Review
Urban Decay Blunt, X, Fishnet Eyeshadows
Urban Decay Blunt Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a "light golden bronze shimmer." It's a lightened gold with orange tones and a frosted, slightly metallic finish. It had nice pigmentation, and the texture was soft and buttery–but a smidgen powdery. Tom FOrd Escapade is similar but a cream product. Dior Night Golds #4 is slightly yellower. Chanel Pearl River #2 is lighter. Buxom Collie is not as warm-toned, and it is a cream product. bareMinerals Surreal is yellower. See comparison swatches.Read Full Review
MAC Lady Danger Lipstick
MAC Lady Danger Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "vivid bright coral-red [with a matte finish]." It's a bold, brightened orange-red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It leans more red than orange, but it's not full-on red. Maybelline Orange Edge is glossier. Maybelline Vibrant Mandarin is less red. Maybelline Neon Red is slightly more orange. MAC Scarlet Ibis is similar. MAC Sail La Vie is glossier. Buxom Rogue is more orange. OCC Psycho is more orange. See comparison swatches.Read Full Review
Sephora Fairytale & My Boyfriend's Jeans Contour Eye Pencil
Sephora Fairytale Contour Eye Pencil ($9.00 for 0.04 oz.) is described as a "golden green." It's a blue-teal with green and gold micro-shimmer. This shade was only semi-opaque when applied, and even layering by doing multiple passes didn't quite intensify it to really true-to-pencil color. I wouldn't recommend wearing it on the water line if you have sensitive eyes due to the amount of shimmer in it (and I don't think it's touted as water line safe). It lasted well for nine hours on me (not the 12 hours claimed), and by the twelfth hour, it was thinner than it was when I had initially applied but I didn't see smudging or a lot in the corners of my eyes. Make Up For Ever #52L doesn't have the golden shimmer. Urban Decay Junkie seems a bit darker. MAC Undercurrent is also darker. See comparison swatches.Read Full Review
Burberry Bright Poppy (311) Lip Velvet
Burberry Bright Poppy (311) Lip Velvet ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deepened, bold berry-red with a matte finish. MAC Heaux is similar, slightly brighter. Guerlain Liu is redder. MAC Rebel is slightly more berry-hued. MAC Lush Life is lighter. Guerlain Lou-Ling is slightly lighter. Burberry Bright Plum is a bit darker and redder. See comparison swatches.Read Full Review
Buxom Rogue Full Bodied Lipstick
Buxom Rogue Full Bodied Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.13 oz.) is described as a "fiery coral." It's a brightened, bold, orange-red with a luminous sheen and strong, warm undertones. Maybelline Orange Edge is lighter. Maybelline Infra-red is slightly redder. Maybelline Vibrant Mandarin is a touch lighter. Maybelline Neon Red is a smidgen brighter. MAC Scarlet Ibis is matte. MAC Sail La Vie is more matte. OCC Psycho is matte. See comparison swatches.Read Full Review

15 reviews | 3.5 out of 5
I bought this as an addition to another standard finishing sander. I use it when restoring antique furniture. The design allows me to get in corners and tight places. Also the attachments make it easy to sand contours and crevices. Well worth the money!
Very happy with this sander. It is the perfect size for me to use.
This sander is OK, but doesn't come with clear instructions for beginners. I couldn't figure out from the illustrations (which were the only instructions provided) how to remove and replace the attachments. Also, the grip isn't very comfortable, and it doesn't make it easy to control the sander in tight spots.
Great for getting into corners and doing inside and outside of chair spindles or legs
The power is there but the balance and grab points are not good! Comparied to the original Mouse that is sold at Sears there is no comparison. The filter does not collect the dust as you might expect, and the attachments are fair. Beware on verticle or inverted surfaces because of it's ackwardness it difficult to control properly.
i do a lot of sanding and this product only uses the edges of my sand paper. the center of the pad is sunk in and does not sand the boards. needs to be redesined so all the sand paper is used and do a better job of sanding. the older mouse was great untill it burnt-up on me.
The sander is perfect for sanding my home crafts (table and chairs) and small maintenance jobs, indoors and out.
I bought this for a small project because it had the edging tools on it. First off I couldnt get the sandpaper to stay on then finally found a piece that did stay on and with in 5 mins the front of it melted and the bottom fell off.
My stepson wanted a different sander located on your website, but we decided to purchase this one because it had two different options for sanding. Because he is only a beginner and 10 yrs old, this was a good choice. It's on the smaller side and easy to handle. Black&Decker has a variety of products that are well made for a good price.
The Black & Decker Mouse Sander was a disappointment. It worked ok for 1 day then quit working. I can't say I'm surprised as I read other reviewers that this had happened to also.
Sander works very well. Only negative is that it is very hard to hold on to. A little too fat for a smaller hand. Gets tiring. A little handle or narrower top would be great.
i used it for 10 mins and the front started melting and the whole bottom fell off! junk! do not buy!

Has Local Contracting Finally Hit its Tipping Point?
Value Based Purchasing (VBP) and related bundled payment alternatives are being trialed most everywhere, as they most certainly and literally will determine healthcare's future checks and balances. Entire episodes of care will be scored relative to the quality of patient outcomes, cost-effective delivery and patient satisfaction –and soon enough, that scoring will define a fundamentally new reimbursement paradigm. Thus far, the sense of urgency felt by most providers has manifested in their appetite for population health analytics. The data they're marshaling, in terms of quantity and breadth, is unprecedented. "It's a huge challenge to take the right data from these […][More...]

Apple's Tax Problem: The Luck of the Irish
As a active follower of the use of language and ardent "attempter" at avoiding buzz words, I was very pleased at Apple CEO Tim Cook's reaction to an EU ruling demanding that Apple pay a huge back tax bill of $14.5 billion. He described it as "total political crap," leaving no room for misinterpretation in anyone's mind. Is the EU guilty of using Ireland to effect its own brand of bait and switch? To be clear, this isn't necessarily an Irish-created problem. In this case, Ireland is a proxy for the wishes of the EU commission. And because the EU […][More...]

To expect that it can do so for health care–one of the largest segments–is insanity.

The Evolution of the Credentialing Solution Space
Medical credentialing is a generally accepted good practice that hospitals undertake to verify who works for them and, as a rule (thank goodness), most all of them do it. While the storage and management of such data so they can be accessed by employers, insurance companies and professional organizations is not new, how the market's leading solution providers have re-scoped the space definitely is. The "credentialing solution space" is evolving in ways that are both fascinating and timely. Beyond appreciating why hospitals have a need to know who's walking around their facilities, the current state-of-the-art is about managing all the […][More...]

|Honrado, João; Torres, João; Marques, Joana; Proença, Vânia; Pereira, Henrique; Alonso, Joaquim; Aguiar, Carlos (2010) - Fire regime as a driver of resilience, functional diversity and ecosystem services in Mediterranean mountains. In Proceedings of the International GMBA-DIVERSITAS conference "Functional significance of mountain biodiversity". Chandolin
|Mountain areas in Portugal are usually defined as territories with rough morphology, low demographic densities, and peculiar agrarian systems based on cattle raising and husbandry. The use of fire has been a common management practice in traditional land use, mainly to control vegetation encroachment and to promote pasturelands. Therefore, historically fire has been a strong driver of vegetation patterns, soil properties and ecosystem services throughout Iberian mountains. Recently, however, a generalized tendency for abandonment of agriculture and pastoralism is promoting vegetation recovery and changes in fire regimes, driving a shift from small fires in recurrently burnt areas to energetic and largely unpredictable wildfires. We present results from studies of ecosystem resilience and vegetation dynamics driven by fire regimes, discussing their connection to the provision of ecosystem services. We report strong effects of fire recurrence, distance to the latest wildfire, and geology on scrubland resilience, with potential implications for regulating services. We also evaluated the resistance and resilience of young deciduous forests to fire disturbance and its implications for supporting services. Overall, our results support the idea that fire regime is a major driver of functional diversity in Mediterranean mountains and suggest that land abandonment and related shifts in fire regimes promote unpredictability in the spatiotemporal patterns of several ecosystem services. Finally, we discuss response options for managing changing mountain landscapes.

Jeff Cryder Jr. – Marketing Professional
Eric, in my opinion should be considered in the top 99% of the automotive retail space. A true strategist who backs up his knowledge and expertise with actual real world application (a trait rare in our industry). As a young marketing professional I truly look up to Eric's professionalism and marketing prowess. His industry accomplishments at Auction Direct, his iPhone App, and his contributions at DrivingSales are testaments to his intelligence, passion and ability to execute. He's without a doubt the type of guy you'd strap your boots on, grab a rifle, and follow into battle.
Dennis Galbraith – Chief Marketing Officer at Dealer e Process
Eric understands automotive retail from a holistic perspective. He sees how the pieces fit together and generously helps others do the same. He is prolific with his online posts, but every one is a gem worth reading. I was one of the many trying to lure Eric onto the DrivingSales team. We are fortunate to have him, and our huge audience of dealers will benefit from his contributions online as well as his work directing product strategy. Follow Eric on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, or any way you can. He is someone you'll want to hear from regularly and network with whenever possible.
Paul Potratz – CEO Potratz Automotive Ad Agency
I can say a lot of wonderful things about Eric and his abilities! The bottom line is Eric knows Social Media, Digital Marketing, Behavioral Marketing or anything having to do with online marketing and he is very creative in how to maximize these tools. Often times when something seems new to me in online marketing and I need some input of how to make it a more effective component in a dealers marketing he has the answers and has utilized the platform for quite some time. How he finds the time to say current with all the new marketing tools amazes me but that is what makes Eric my "Go to Guy"
George Nenni – Vice President of Operations at Dominion Enterprises
This is an easy recommendation to write, as Eric is a leading authority in the automotive digital marketing space on new technology, social media, and mobile apps. I can always count on Eric to make sure I'm on top of new tech far earlier than most. He is also a humble and professional individual to work with, always willing to make time or help someone with a problem. I highly recommend him for any related project, application, or position.
I'd love to hear what's going on in your world.

The Monsters University Roll-A-Scare Toxic Race Playset let kids roll, pop, and scare while recreating moments from Monsters University. Kids can play with this set solo or challenge a friend to a race. This set uses Roll-A-Scare Monster figures that start out as little balls but spring open to reveal a three-inch figure when they hit a hard surface. Place one Roll-A-Scare Monster on both of the launchers. Lift the levers to send the monsters rolling down the tracks. The first monster to cross the finish line will cause the monster flags to go up, and the monster will spring open in the winner's circle.
One exclusive Sulley Roll-A-Scare figure is included. Additional Roll-A-Scare figures are sold separately.
This is a cute and easy-to-use playset. Kids will love watching the monsters spring open upon impact and racing to see which monster is the quickest. Plus, the Roll-A-Scare figures give the monsters a really cute new look that will definitely appeal to young fans.
The Toxic Race Playset is for Monsters University fans ages 3 and up.
Some assembly is required. It took us five minutes to put this set together, and the instructions were very easy to follow. Some of the pieces easily come apart so just be careful if you need to move the playset.

text: There are millions of grackles and starlings flying about the trees and the urge to shoot them out of the tree with my .22 lr is close to irresistable. So how deadly are these little bullets? The nearest neighbors are 5 miles away at least. Its in a big valley enclosed by huge hills im pretty sure they wont ever go over the skyline. What im worried about is a bullet dropping down on top of livestock (bovines). Will the falling lead hurt them? Im thinking it will just bounce off them cause it probably wouldnt penetrate them if you shot right at them from that kind of distance. I try not to shoot in their direction but they pretty much surround the place.

Lewan, who was a two-time All-American and four year starter at Michigan, was emotional as he hugged NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and held up his Titans jersey in front of the sold-out crowd at the Radio City Music Hall in New York.
The former Michigan captain is the highest selected U-M player since 2008, when former Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long was selected No. 1 overall by the Miami Dolphins.
At 6-foot-7, 309-pounds, Lewan ran an impressive 4.87 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, which solidified him as a consensus first round pick by most draft experts.
Michigan coach Brady Hoke came to show support for Lewan, who is also his first 1st round draft pick selected under his watch since accepting the job in January 2011.
The Titans selected Lewan despite some notable off the field issues. He is due in court later this month and is expected to be charged with two counts of assault and battery that resulted from an incident in early December. He is also dealing with allegations that he intimidated the alleged victim in former kicker Brendan Gibbons sexual assault case back to 2009. He has denied those allegations.

Compact Microstrip Patch Antenna With Switchable L-Shaped Slots for Wireless Applications
In this paper, analysis and design of compact Microstrip patch antenna incorporated by two orthogonal L-shaped switchable slots is proposed to achieve circular polarization. Two pin diodes are inserted in to these L-shaped slots and by making these two pin diodes ON and OFF the antenna can be radiate with either right handed circular polarization or left handed circular polarization with wide bandwidth. Radiation patterns, return loss and axial ratios are presented. The experimental results show that the designed antenna can provide excellent performance for Unlicensed & licensed WiMax (IEEE802.16a), future planetary missions and satellite link. Details of the antenna design; experimental and simulated results are presented and discussed.

Armchair BEA – Day 5, Middle Grade/Young Adult
You know, it's kind of a strange thing to be 30(ish) and still loving (some) Middle Grade and (a LOT) Young Adult books:
But seriously . . .
I do try to avoid teenage angst-filled, melodramatic, and overly high school YA books, but sometimes you just can't tell until you crack the spine. Which is unfortunate, b/c I'm sure that there are several of you out there who feel you have given YA a more than fair shot, but it's just not for you b/c the teenage angst-filled, melodramatic, and overly high school YA books are the only kind that you've happened to stumble across.
Well, I'm here to tell you that there is more to YA than that. LOTS more. In fact, most of my favorite YA books are (IMO) only categorized that way b/c of 1. the numerical age of the MC(s), and 2. lack of hanky-panky.
How do I find these mythical light on angst, heavy on action and entertainment YA books?
A couple of different ways:
- I internet stalk other bloggers who are my age and share my penchant for YA literature.
- I avoid contemporary YA.
It's much easier for a YA novel to avoid the standard pitfalls if the story takes place in a fantasy or a futuristic and/or post-apocalyptic world. In fantasy worlds, it's not unusual for a teenager to be considered an adult, and to have adult responsibilities at age 16, or sometimes even younger, if a tragedy befalls a family, and the oldest child must act as head of household. In futuristic or post-apocalyptic, the author has more freedom to chose how mature the characters should be, and often chose more rather than less.
It's not a foolproof plan, but then again, I don't think there is one. For ANY genre. Even sticking exclusively to your preferred genres won't keep you from occasionally falling head-long into a stinker. So you do what you can to minimize the risk. And I think I've done that.
Some of my current favorite YA series are:
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles:
And some of my older favorite YAs from already completed series (or standalones):
How about you? What are some of your YA favorites? Are any of my favorites your favorites also?

OMG I adore all those books …and there have been some amazing YA. Yeah the only thing I don't always like are the trilogies , but I am loving the stand alones.
Your s-card cracks me up, I think people of all ages are getting addicted to teen serieses lately!
I agree, it is usually but not always, the contemporary (in any genre) that has the most angst and drama. You named some of my favs in your list! I love this genre and I probably always will and yes I fit the in her 30's and still loving YA books category and I don't even care that I love it.
There are way too many great books out there to not give them a chance because some of the main characters are 15 plus years younger than me.
wow!! What a great list!!
For Darkness Shows us Stars <3
Ooooo and The Demon King (I bought the first two books in that series but haven't picked them up yet .-.).
I've actually had Dragonswood on my TBR list for 2 years now and the fact that you liked it makes me really want to pick it up! 🙂
Also… do not avoid contemporary YA. I used to because … eh. I was a snobby middle schooler… I hardly read any contemporary and if it had romance, I'd be like. NO. Except for that one time I read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series (and loved) but I think around 10th-11th grade, I started getting into more contemporary and while I still don't consider it my favorite genre, I have many favs from it… and I totally understand wanting to avoid it because… it's a lot harder to find gems buttttt if you ever decide to give contemporary YA a shot, start with Marchetta, there is a lesser chance of you being disappointed.
Those are excellent examples of wonderful YA books that are not teenyboppery! I tend to stay away from contemporary YA as well. But the dystopia, fantasy, sci-fi, etc, are awesome!
What a great list! I read more middle grade than YA, but there are several here that I'll be putting on my TBR list.
Some of my very favorite books have been YA and mature YA. I loved The Fault in Our Stars, Eleanor & Park, The Sea of Tranquility, The Lux Series (I think that's moved into NA…not sure), etc…
I do agree with you in regards to the story taking place in a "fantasy or a futuristic and/or post-apocalyptic world" to avoid those blasted and dismal pitfalls.
Although, while I am trying to move into more adult books, sometimes YA urban fantasy is like a trusted friend and I miss those stories when I don't read them. Not sure if that makes sense BUT that's not to say I don't enjoy adult books because I do and I don't even mind the sizzle factor. *gasp* It's rather shocking, I know. 😉
I typically don't read anything under the age of 16 or anything that has a iCarly feel to it because that's just not my speed. And PS: some of the books listed in your post, I'm totally going to find on goodreads!!!! ♥
I definitely don't read as much YA as I want to, I think maybe only about 1 out of 5 or 6 reads are YA based on the number of YA weekends I do. Still, I think it's pretty awesome that in general we seem to have very similar tastes in YA! I have read all four of your ongoing favorite series listed up there (except I still need to catch up with Throne of Glass #2, which I will get to, soon!) and rated them highly as well. I'm really looking forward to Ruin and Rising!
I agree, and I'm more picky about the contemp YA I read. I do love your lists and what I haven't read, I want to read! Great taste! 🙂
I only read graceling and shadow and bone . Hèhé
I do love contemp but I mostly read the gritty dark and more emotional ya contemp . No lighthearted fluffiness for me ,me lady
*hugs Jessica*
Awesome, awesome YA reads that you have picked, especially Throne of Glass, DOSAB and Cinder! I agree I have the same pet peeves with you when it comes to those run of the mill, overly dramatic high school YAs. But there is so much more to be discovered in the genre besides that.
I loved the Lunar Chronicles series. On my Armchair BEA Day 5 post, I listed some less known authors/books.
Loving The Grisha so far. Laura Lam's series is ace as well. Westerfeld's Leviathan made me smile. Want to try Throne of Glass one of these days. Oh, and of course, Tiffany Aching series by Pratchett. Because OMG AWESOME.
I can't believe you're 30! Dude, I thought you were 25 or something… way more younger than your real age. Haha! You're like Amir .-. I thought was around my age but apparently she's 31! AHHHHHHH you guys are screwing with my mind, aren't you >_<
In any case, I don't think I'll ever be able to let go of my love for Middle Grade and Young Adult. There's just something so innocent, and young, and refreshing about these genres that I can never get tired of. And seriously there are so many series to love other than Twilight! My favorite series are the ones you posted htere as well (except for the Laini Taylor one… I've yet to read it). I also LOVE the Across the Universe series! Space operas are the bestest.
Faye at The Social Potato Reviews
Fab post, Jessica! I used to like YA, but in latest years I only read fantasy YA, steampunk YA and my dystopian/post-apocalyptic YA dwindled to almost nothing. You are right – too much angst seem to put me off many new books completely. A lot of your faves are mine too, but I don't see Susan Ee's Angelfall here which is amazing. Other dystopians I adore are anything by Phil Tucker. Honestly, he is good. One book about Fae, another two are vamps in post-apocalyptic world. It's like Julie Kagawa but with guts. Andrew Fukuda's vamps are TERRIFYING. That Which Bites by Celis T. Rono – really dark post-apocalyptic UF. Worse than Lilith Saintcrow for blood and guts. In fantasy: Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas… In sci-fi – anything by Andrea K. Host. The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon. I think I better stop, because I'm scrolling down my read list on Goodreads and it's way too long 🙂
That's a nice selection of books. I enjoyed Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Siege and Storm. I will have to check out the rest. Agree with poster above – The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas and Seraphina by Rachel Hartman are nicely done as well.
And so grows Mt. TBR…..
YESSSSSS THRONE OF GLASS. My God, such an amazing series! The books just keep getting better and better 😀
In fact, all of your current favourites are my current favourites too 😛 Have you read the Partials series by Dan Wells? LOVE IT. So much science. So much delicious science. (Hi, I'm Nara, and I'm super weird :D)
Teenage angst, tied for the number 1 reason why I read very few YA. That and there seem to be a lot of love triangles (at least that's what the covers/blurbs make it sound like). Not a fan of that in any genre.
As you know – I love YA. I hadn't thought about the fact that fantasy/dystopian worlds change the way our characters act, bu that makes a LOT of sense. The only YA series I've read that falls into the teenage angst a bit but I still love is Soul Screamers by Rachel Vincent. There's enough good that I just overlook the angst. But I just caught up on the Lunar Chronicles and it was fantastic. I read Throne of Glass – great stuff – and need to catch up. The others are still on my TBR but I'll get there!
I'm 30ish and I also enjoy YA too Jessica! But I do agree, most of the time, I stay away from books with angsty teenage drama and high school cliques and politics. Been there, done that! No need to read more about it! Aaah I need to read all these series! They have been in my TBR since forever! But I have Cinder and Throne of Glass so I'm going to start with those! And I'm going to check those standalones too, we mostly have the sane taste in books so I might enjoy some, if not all!
I liked If I Stay too and Where She Went is one of my fave books 🙂
I haven't read an MG since my kids were that age, but totally read YA titles in my mix and I am 40 something. The books say 16 and up. I am the up!!!!
SO with you on Laini Taylor, I didn't get to read the others though I want to, lol.
Other YAs I liked: Kady Cross (Steampunk Chronicles), the Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare, Julie Kagawa's works, Kendare Blake (Anna Dressed in Blood, didn't get to the second yet, lol!), Possess by Gretchen McNeil, Darker Still by Leanna Renee Hieber… okay, you know what, I think we can safely say the YA I end up liking is most likely not contemporary, does not feature any kind of high-school related anything even if the character is of that age, and it generally has little to do with that we'd call a "regular teen life" – ie they're in a fantasy/paranormal world and they could be 25 just as well as they are 16 or whatever.
Out of the YAs I've read that are contemporary, I enjoy those were the teens suffer, mwahahaha. Like The Fault in Our Stars, The Reece Malcolm List by Amy Spalding, or Saving June by Hannah Harrington, for instance. I mean some real dramatic event that affects them. And then I don't like them cause they're about a teen, but because the dramatic event & consequences combo was well done by the author… I generally feel good stories need their MCs to really suffer, lol, and I don't feel comfortable with MCs being underage mostly because of that, I guess. I mean I feel more comfy with them being somewhat adult-ish, like say NA.
I think that's my main issue with YA, in fact. When I like it, it's because I like the story but I would most likely feel better if the MC was a bit older. The stories I do like are good, ofc, but I'm sure I'd enjoy them more with the given comfort that the MC going through it all isn't a kid/teen, I guess. MG is pretty much out of discussion for that reason. But I'm an evil reader, lol, fluffy bores me, no suffering bores me, all action and bravery bores me if there's no real suffering involved… lol. I'm evil and sadistic, yes, I know :)))
When I started blogging almost all I read are YA. Back then I didn't know NG & EW existed and I don't have an ereader yet so i rely on the library for my fix and they have a great collection of YA. Then it's love triangle and insta-love after the other and slowly I grew wary of the genre. Right now I very rarely read YA but there's quite a few that I'd read only because I started the series before my YA ban.
Hmmm I have Cinder and the Maas books but I haven't read any I confess. But I was really mixed with Strange Angels but the Maar book was ok for me. My fave? lol that's difficult. I finally don't read a lot of them but I really enjoyed Mythos Academy by Jennifer Estep, The Falconer by Elizabeth may for the one I remember about but it's true that it's easier to say my fave UF series lol.
Oh! I loved pretty much all the books on your list, only I could not stand Throne of Glass. Something about the MC drove me nuts and the lack of danger in the actual tests. I especially love Kristin Cashore's books. Great post and lots of pretty pictures!
Yes for sure on the Lunar Chronicles and the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy. I've been noticing many YA books feel almost more like Middle Grade, or they seem to be written for very young teens. Those are the ones I have trouble with, but your choices are definitely more on the "adult" side of "young adult."
I'll have to check out some of those older YA books that you liked as well. I will always love YA and MG books I think. It helps keep us young.
I'm a fan of YA and MG fantasy too. I used to completely avoid YA contemporary, but now I'm finding that I actually often enjoy it. I still veer toward fantasy or dystopian, but I've branched out a bit. 🙂
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
*ha* I'm 40-something Jessica, and I still find great pleasure in YA lit! 🙂 I just finished Unravel Me, by the way….fan-freaking-tastic! I sooo love this series. Mafi is amazing! Okay, back to your post. 🙂 I was the Childrens/Teen lead at B&N for a couple of years and found lots of series (and great reads) that way. Twilight, of course, opened to the door to YA again. There just weren't as many great YA reads when I was a YA. I love Marr, Tiernan, Forman, and Barnes, too. There are some great middle-grade reads as well. Riordan is a fav in my house. 🙂
Yeah, that's also why I dont't read many YA contemporaries too. I hate when books are TOO cheesy. It's true what you said about the fact that, in fanatsy books, it feels more serious, that some YA characters are considered as adults. 🙂

Letter-writing to someone with learning difficulties - image font?
I have seen text written for differently-abled kids with a very low level of reading ability, where each word had a symbol over it.

Does anyone know of any online facility to generate text like this? [more inside]
Sequence of images of numbers
I'm looking for a pack of images, each one of a number from 0 to 99. PNG format would be best, but if that's not available I'm not fussy. If there was also a way that I can script this in Photoshop or in Automator (Mac), or some other way to create them. I'd like to download something to test an idea, but eventually will have to make the images to my own specs. [more inside]

My iPad has stopped showing images in Safari. Why?
About four days ago, my iPad stopped showing images in web pages--there's either a grayed out box where they should be or they're just missing. All the text loads fine, it really just looks like image resources are deciding not to load. This happens in Safari, and in Safari view controller views like Tweetbot (so it's Webkit-wide?) Force quit Safari, restarted, still broken. Upgraded it from 9.2 to 9.3.1 this morning, and same thing. Did I toggle some setting inadvertently? Or is this a bug, and if so, how do I fix it?

In case Flickr does go under, I'm looking for quick/non-teccie solutions for moving the entire bunch of photos and also for easily updating all of those places where a bit of code pulls in the picture from Flickr.

WordPress Instagram plugin that shows by hashtag AND location together?
Do you know of a WordPress Instagram plugin that will allow me to show together in a single gallery all images that are tagged as a certain location OR that use a certain hashtag? To restate: it's all the images that are marked with a certain location, and all the images that are marked with a certain hashtag. I'm trying to avoid installing and testing dozens of plugins to see if any do this.
help with a Google-fu fail
I saw a series of lovely hand-drawn anime-esque cartoons some time ago depicting, in an incredibly sweet and moving way, a couple in a long-term relationship and all its related intimacies. No text or speech-bubbles, just images of two people being together and helping each other. There was one scene of them eating ice-cream together, watching TV, etc. The overall colour palette was warm pink/orange hues. I cannot for the life of me find this again. Turns out terms like "relationship" "happy" "love" "long-term" do not a Google search narrow. If anyone knows that I'm talking about, I would greatly appreciate a link!
Images to prompt writing
I need pictures that are funny or creative in some way, but also have several subjects/actions visible. Here's one that works really well. Here's a page with several that could work. Can you help me find more that are 6th grade appropriate and have limited/no text on them? [more inside]

Recommend Image Archive Alternatives to Flickr?
Flickr used to be my go-to site for getting free images to use in classroom powerpoints. Even with a lot of spam, you could search and find nice images, especially diagrams and non-photo visuals, quite effectively. Now it has even MORE spammy photos and the search function feels more inadequate and the site seems a whole lot *slower*. Are there good alternative archive sites I could turn to instead? (I've already tried Google and Bing Image search - they're OK, but a bit too noisy as well) Thanks for any tips!
Art and Chance: A list

Public Domain Use Victorian Era/Victorian-esque Art?
Hear me out before you say "Just google it" -- I do plenty of google-shopping for images and generally find low-res crappy images that are not necessarily what I'm looking for. I am looking for Victorian/19th century images. They must be high resolution and they are preferably in the public domain. I plan on using them for mixed media collages -- mostly just for myself and friends/gifts and not for profit, however, I've been offered space in an art booth and I may end up using images for commercial gain. More details behind the cut. [more inside]
How can I pick a key colour in an image file in an automated way?
Recently I am sure I saw a script or action that analysed an image file and instead of generating the average colour, looked for a key colour (for example a logo colour) and provided that colour value. For example it might look at this image and give you the blue or the pink rather than a beige / skin tone average. Does this sound familiar?

here's a cute drawing of someone banging their head against the desk
I have been making greeting cards and would like to sell them. I have been doing rubber stamp and scrapbook paper stuff so far, but started looking for graphics I could print and incorporate. My google is failing me. It looks like shutterstock has great images, but even with the enhanced license, I cannot use them on things I will sell (unless i'm misreading what i find there). I'm getting really confused and getting a headache reading fine print everywhere and I must not be finding the right blogs or using the right words. Where do I find images (illustrations and graphics, NOT photos) that I can download, print, and use on my stuff that I will sell? [more inside]

Is my wifi router blocking images from Facebook?
I recently replaced a couple of old LinkSys WRT54G routers running DD-WRT in my home with a couple of couple of D-Link DIR-615 routers that I got as refurbs from woot.com. I bought these because the old machines only did 802.11 B/G whereas nearly everyone in the house now has a device that has 802.11 N capability. All seems well to me, but my wife and younger daughter consistently complain that they now frequently are unable to display some images from Facebook, and that this began to occur precisely at the time that I put these new routers in.

Metaphors for the idea of America
For a song I'm writing, I'm looking for images that represent the positive ideal of America, however naive. Bubblegum, the beach boys, Jimmy Stewart, you get the idea. The song is titled 'Miss America' and I'm looking for images that represent the America I miss in present times. This is far from a rah-rah composition -- they really don't have to be unambiguous -- in fact the ambiguity is something I want to drill into in the song. But I'm looking for people, places, things, ideas that have at one time represented an ideal of 'America', in the abstract, that I can play with as images in a song. No wrong answers. Thanks.
Like boldomatic, but for a desktop browser. (*sigh*)
I'm looking for a dead-simple tool that generates an image consisting of text on a plain, colored, rectangular background for posting to social media. (Please stop yelling. I agree with you.

Browser-based would be fantastic. [more inside]

Trying to find a website I forgot to bookmark
