CNJ file photo Joe Parker, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, regrets having to leave the legal world.
By Sharna Johnson: Freedom Newspapers
District Judge Joe Parker has resigned his position, effective today, citing an ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease.
Though it may seem like a sudden announcement, Parker said it was a very difficult decision that he and his wife talked and prayed about at length.
"In reality my wife and I were laboring over it for the last several months," he said. "It was not an easy one."
Diagnosed four years ago, Parker said he came to the decision it was best he step aside.
The 25-year legal veteran said Monday he tendered his formal resignation last week.
"(I) have done my best to try to stay ahead of (Parkinson's) and I feel I have stayed ahead of it but it is a noble foe," he said.
Parker said it is a sad decision in many ways and he will greatly miss the legal world, especially in the local district.
"I will miss the courtroom setting. It's a delightful way to make a living — it's a good environment right now in our district court."
Formerly splitting his time between the Clovis and Portales court, Parker became a full-time Portales judge in May. The recent move to Portales weighed heavy on his mind while contemplating his decision but he said he is confident a solution will be found in his absence.
As to the future, he is still figuring out what he will do with his time. After so many years in legal work, he said laughing, "I'll probably try to apply the law to everything."
Parker, one of five judges serving the 9th Judicial District, was appointed to the position by Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson in 2003. At that time he was distinguished as being the first Republican appointed to a judgeship by Richardson.
Prior to his appointment he ran a private law firm for 21 years.
Retired District Judge Bill Bonem will fill in as judge pro-tem until a new candidate is selected, a court official said Monday. The position has not yet been announced.
When the position opens, candidates will submit applications, documents, provide references and must pass a 16-person committee before being recommended to the governor for appointment.
The governor will then make the final determination who will fill the position.

Passing Companies
Screening Criteria
Investors are engaged in the battle of trying to buy low and sell high. Strategy and tactics are critical elements in this struggle. Growth strategies have done well recently, but long-term studies still point to successful investing results by following a disciplined contrarian, value-driven strategy. Value investors argue that while the market may be efficient in the long term, emotions often dominate in the short run. These emotions can overtake rational analysis, pushing a stock's price above its intrinsic value during periods of euphoria and below its true worth when reacting to bad news.
Value screens, such as the price-earnings ratio screen, typically look for low prices relative to actual measures of company performance or assets. The price-earnings ratio, or multiple, is computed by dividing a stock's price by its most recent 12 months' earnings per share. The price-earnings ratio is followed closely because it embodies the market's expectations of future company performance and risk through the price component of the ratio and relates it to historical company performance as measured by earnings per share.
A simple search for low price-earnings ratios, however, can be misleading as a screen for undervalued stocks. Typically, firms with high growth potential trade with correspondingly high price-earnings ratios, while those with low price-earnings ratios are expected to have low growth or high risk. Screening just for stocks with a low price-earnings ratio may leave you with a list of companies with little or no growth prospects or great uncertainty regarding the prospects of the firm. This screen will explore some of the basic techniques used to combine value and growth measures to identify companies experiencing growth.

A trough extends from northern WA, through the interior of the NT and southwest QLD to northeast NSW. The trough then extends further to a low pressure over the Tasman Sea. The instability associated with the trough combined with a warm moist airmass is resulting in middle level cloud with widespread showers and thunderstorms across most of the country including through northern WA, southern NT, SA, southern QLD, NSW and northern VIC. Regions of QLD and the NT northeast of the trough are mainly hot and dry with isolated thunderstorms near southeast QLD. A monsoon trough and a weak tropical low south of Java are enhancing the shower and thunderstorm activity in the region.

State Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley has stepped out of a fading disciplinary case against fellow Justice David Prosser.
The Wisconsin Judicial Commission has accused Prosser of violating judicial ethics when he allegedly placed his hands around Bradley's neck during an argument in front of four other justices last year. Prosser's punishment is up to his fellow justices.
He asked the six other justices to recuse themselves from the case. By last August three had complied, preventing a quorum and essentially scuttling the complaint.
Bradley issued a decision Wednesday recusing herself. She still complained in the decision that Prosser grabbed her neck, noting police had developed a security plan for her weeks before the incident because Prosser was growing agitated.
She also ripped Justice Pat Roggensack for minimizing the court's internal conflicts as Roggensack pushes for re-election.

I am a 30-something beauty lover from the south who married a man in the Navy. We have lived all over and are currently in the state of WA north of Seattle! I also happen to enjoy food, drinks, DIYs, and all things organization and share it with you!
Great review! I can't wait to try it too. I really like your photos too – very nice! :)
Great review. I'm starting this in a couple days. Retinol is the greatest thing for skin. I'm a total retinol lover, so I'm excited.
I can't wait to start mine! I am just finishing testing something now. I am so anxious to see some fabulous results that I'm confident this will deliver!
I've started mine and love it, too!! Great review!
I'm on week 3 and loving it! My review will be posted Monday!
I am kind of interested in this. Can you still use benzoyl peroxide in the daytime and then the retinol at night? I am hitting 25 next year and I should try to prevent wrinkles. I am using sunscreen as my main defender at the moment.
I started using FutureDerm's new retinol a few weeks ago on my acne-prone skin. I have not had a major breakout since! I will probably use this product from now until the end of time. Amazing product, great review.

A family spent Sunday night with a neighbor after a possible sinkhole opened up in the middle of their Orange County home.
It happened on Harbor Lake Drive.
The 1,200-square-foot home was built in 2001 and is currently a rental property, according to the Orange County Appraiser's Office.
The renters said they heard what sounded like firecrackers inside the home around 7 p.m. As it turns out, it was the sound of tiles popping.
Several cracks are visible around the foundation.
Neighbors said the renters were told the home is no longer safe.
"It's very close to home," one neighbor said. "What's next or whose house is next?"
The Orange County Building Inspector is expected to assess the home Monday morning to determine if the hole is in fact a sinkhole.

Chandler's our main man this year. Some of those plays were against some accomplished offenses and defenses
Embedded video from NBA Video
Yeah smh at people thinking Chandler is weak on this forum just hilarious...
Chasing down Kobe and blocking him, dunking over KG, Scola, Perkins... Yeah he's real soft
That Gallo 3 against atlanta was quite orgasmic lol, we better see more of that come next year!
I think that Gallinari will shine for the Knicks this season as long as he stays fit.
Anyone know when this seasons jersey`s will go on sale?
To be honest I watched this again today and it really depressed me, for 2 reasons.
First up it's pretty sad to think that some of our best plays of the year was a half contested 3 by Al Harrington and a wide open dunk.
Second it shows the NBA doesn't pay much attention to the Knicks as I saw a load of plays this season that were way better, Duhon 2 Nate alley for example.
Has anybody heard any reports on Duhon? Conditioning and preparing for this year?
Just curious since he will be our starting PG this year (and beyond? nobody else available) and how he fell apart towards the latter half of last season. If he can play all of this year like he played in the beginning of last season we may be ok. Otherwise, expect us to be one of the worst teams in the league again.
Chandler's going to bust out this season im expecting something like :
18 points per
6 rebs
3 assists
1.3 blks
dudes going to be nasty this year
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
If he can average those numbers as the starting SG (with decent fg%) then I would be bonkers happy because that would mean we would have our starting SG for the future. If not, and Gallo avgs really good numbers as the starting SF, look for Chandler to be traded by the deadline.
i gotta gut feeling about chandler dude is a sick player if only he would attack the basket more, he almost unstoppable when he attacks and thats what opens up his outside game, if he could do that more then he will without a doubt be at those numbers, if not better. and his defense is already a given.
im interested to see hill play now he has game just a little raw if we could develop him into an amare type player that'd be awesome i see alot of amare in hill,
and one dude im excited to watch ( no homo ) is douglass dude got mad game and he could be a sick player in this league like in the nate type role just more controlled

A lot has changed over the last two years for the golf team. Last year (2012 season), the Wasatch boys finished 4th in the 3A state tournament, still a noteworthy achievement. But after losing 13 players in the last two years, the team has struggled, and this has been a very interesting year for WHS golf, especially in the new Region 8.
The Wasatch boys hosted the Region 8 championship tournament last Tuesday, September 24, at the Wasatch Lake course in Midway, the final tournament of the season for the Wasps. It didn't turn out for them the way they had hoped. The boys finished the tournament in 6th place out of 7 teams, and also finished in 6th place overall in the Region 8 standings for the season.
Wasatch is in a re-building phase, but has so many good, young players. Hopefully, in the next few years, the Wasps will be back at the top in state rankings.
There is a great legacy of golf at WHS that can confidently come to life again in the years to come.
The four Wasatch scores for the team:
Dan Briggs: 79
Tanner Lee: 84
Mitch Gogan: 84
Jaden Roney: 87
The team shot a 334 total.
Here are the final Region 8 standings:
1. Maple Mountain
2. Timpview
3. Provo
4. Springville
5. Spanish Fork
6. Wasatch
7. Salem Hills

It's one of the toughest times of the year. It's that time when many of us take a look in the mirror and make the decision that we need to improve ourselves during the next 12 months. You know what I am talking about – New Year's resolutions.
It's a little amusing to me that we have traditionally chosen Jan. 1 as the big day where we draw up our to-do list of personal rehab projects. It really has no significance by itself except that people usually do it on that date and normally make no secret of the things they are working on. Why do we announce our targets? We usually set the bar far too high and have to eat crow with our friends, families and co-workers sometime around the first of February.
I, myself, have made and broken so many resolutions that I could earn a healthy income if there were any paid positions for resolution breaking.
I used to be really hard on myself when I broke a resolution. That only adds more frustration and pressure that I don't need in my life. Would it be better to not establish resolutions? I don't think so. I believe the key is if I falter, I just need to try, try again. January 1 is my initial resolution date, but I've learned that I can fail and make the same resolution again a month later or two months later. It is far better than waiting until the following January to give it another go. Nobody's perfect and putting in the effort is most important.
I've learned not to make resolutions that are almost impossible to keep. I resolve to lose 20 pounds. Why didn't I resolve to lose 50? To be honest, it won't happen. I'll resolve to lose another 10 pounds when I reach the 20 that should be easily attainable.
I am going to offer up a list of resolutions that can and should be made by hunters, fishermen and all practitioners of the world of outdoors recreation. I'll keep it short and painless and if we all stick to these resolutions our world, our sports and ourselves as outdoorsmen will all see improvement. Hold up your hands and repeat after me.
• We resolve to apply for permits and buy our licenses in a timely manner. No one should ever miss a season because they forgot to apply for a license before they were sold out. No one should ever receive a citation because their old license lapsed and they forgot to get a new one.
• We resolve to be exemplary citizens of the outdoors. Wherever you hunt, fish or camp should look as good as or better than it looked like when you arrived. I get tired of hearing people use stereotypes about outdoorsmen drinking and leaving beer cans all over. Pick up your garbage before you leave a spot. It wouldn't kill any of us to pick up a few pieces of somebody else's garbage either.
• We resolve to report lawbreakers in the outdoors. If we see any of these violators this year, we won't hesitate to dial up 1-877-2DNRLAW (1-877-236-7529) to report them. Remember to get as much info about the poachers as you can, like license plate numbers and good physical descriptions of the violators.
• We resolve to learn all of the rules that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources sets forth. We are going to read those pamphlets that they give us for free when we buy our licenses. Don't forget that the rules vary from state-to-state, so read the book when you travel. I once found out, after the fact that, at the time, dropshotting was illegal in Michigan. I figured because it was OK in Illinois and Wisconsin, it would be legal everywhere. I could have gotten a ticket if a Michigan DNR officer saw me.
• We resolve to support conservation groups in terms of air and water quality. Yes, outdoorsmen are the biggest backers of clean air and water in terms of a monetary basis. We should support the groups that don't hunt or fish, but help take care of our skies, woods and waters, as long as they are not against our sports.
• We resolve to learn a few new skills. Take up fly fishing or take up muzzle loading or the crossbow. These new things will add to the amount of time you can spend outdoors and increase your pleasure on the whole. If you're a shotgunner, get yourself a bow and learn how to use it. Watch more hunting and fishing shows on TV, there are tons of them. Read books and magazines and attend classes or seminars. Education breeds success.
• We resolve to share our love and passion for our outdoor sports with others. Talk about the sports you like, don't keep it a secret. Talk about it around the proverbial water cooler. You may find someone who wants to learn about what you do or find somebody who wants to go on an outing with you. Take a child fishing. Take a senior fishing. You'd be surprised how many grandpas would love to fish, but don't have the equipment any more or the opportunity. Drop off your old outdoors magazines at the local retirement center. The senior guys will be ecstatic. It seems like those places only have antique copies of "Woman's Day" on the tables at their recreation centers.
• We resolve to give thanks. I personally believe in God and thank him every time I am out there using his great outdoors which he graciously allows me to use. You can thank whoever you think is responsible for the woods and waters, fish and birds, game and forests, it doesn't matter. Also, please remember to thank whoever it was that introduced you to the world of outdoors recreation. Thank whoever it was that taught you to hunt, taught you to fish. Hopefully, you will be thanked by the people you have taught, as well.
Happy New Year to all! Let's make 2013 our best year in the outdoors yet.

Fishing/hunting report
Dave Kranz from Dave's Bait & Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: "Reports of 1 to 2-inches of ice started coming in on Christmas Eve. Conditions are good for making ice, but be careful! Small ponds with no current in them and backwaters freeze first. Use a small tungsten jig with a wax worm or spike for early ice panfish. A large golden roach minnow on a tip up should catch pike and bass. The late winter antlerless deer seasons are today to Sunday and again on Jan. 18 through Jan. 20. Tags can still be bought over the counter." Call 815-455-2040 for updated reports.

TV shows
"Duck Dynasty" is a reality TV series on A&E. It depicts the day-to-day lives of the Robertson family. The Robertson's are simple country folk who have become insanely wealthy from the sales of their duck calls, including the Duck Commander.
They started their TV careers on the Outdoor channel with the series "Duck Commander" and its spin-off, "Buck Commander." To call the show a hunting or outdoors show would be a total stretch of the imagination. This year's season finale was an hour-long Christmas edition that scored a best-in-TV rating.
In its second season, viewership of the show increased by 139 percent, pushing it into the top spot for Wednesday night cable shows. Go figure! At least it's better than Honey Boo Boo!
Fishing regulation
Since most people are irate over the unregulated spearing of fish by Native Americans in neighboring Wisconsin, they'll be glad to hear this. A federal judge has denied an effort by Native American tribes to establish a spotlighting season for deer hunting in the ceded territories. The Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission voted in late November to authorize night hunting for deer by tribal members. To participate, tribal members had to pass a marksmanship test and apply for a night hunting permit. While 74 had passed the test, none had applied for a permit for a hunt scheduled to begin after Thanksgiving.
Judge Barbara Crabb said the GLIFWC overstepped its authority when it quietly authorized Chippewa tribal night hunting in the northern third of the state.
The Wisconsin DNR filed suit seeking to stop the night hunt for fear of "the short amount of time to notify the public, the circumvention of court oversight and past rulings on night hunting for deer, and public safety," according to Cathy Stepp, secretary of the DNR. The past ruling that Stepp cited was a ruling made more than 20 years ago that required the tribes and the state to negotiate changes to tribal hunting rules and to agree upon a rule before they are enacted. In court last week, the tribes argued that night hunting by spotlight was safe and that it was no different from spotlighting predators at night, such as wolves. Stepp said she and her department were pleased with the judge's decision. "The DNR Secretary, the Department, and the State have maintained that the process established by the courts and the parties must be followed. The State will continue to work in good faith toward resolving the numerous issues surrounding the State's management of natural resources within the ceded territory and their potential overlapping impacts with the Chippewa's treaty established rights to self-regulate their own harvest."

Hi everyone, my daughter (13) is currently under the care on Mr Lehovsky at RNOH. She has a double curve 33 top and 35 bottom, she was due to be braced but after examining her MRI results Mr Lehovsky found she also has spondylosis with level 1 spondylolistesis (which for anyone unsure means she has broken the base of her spine and the vertebra has slipped up to 25%) we have been advised that this is causing her curve to increase and therefore will need to be fused in the very near future to hopefully stop further progression. She will still need to be braced once the break in the spine has been dealt with.
Mr L has referred her for a CT scan with an injection of steroid and local anaesthetic. The appointment has now arrived for this and will go ahead on 29th May at the Stanmore.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience of this type of CT and injection (the letter refers to it as CT facet joint injection of lumbar spine) as my daughter is quite worried about what lies ahead and how painful this might be, I want to reassure her but don't know anything about this procedure other than what the letter says, which doesn't give any indication of how uncomfortable this might be.
Its very daunting at the moment as we had just prepared ourselves for her to be braced and were very shocked to find out about the break and that she now faces surgery.

That is the $50,000 question.
On Tuesday, during a continuation of a meeting called Monday to solve the county's phone issues, the decision was made to have Time Warner install a fiber optic line to handle the county's digital phone system.
County officials opted to stay with that company, as opposed to switching to AT&T because it could expedite the install — for a $1,000 fee.
The county signed a new contract for $850 per month for the next five years. Time Warner agreed to waive the $40,000 install fee.
For the past couple of months, the phone service at the courthouse has been spotty, but the reason is still up for debate.
The county's information technology director says that the root of the problem is with Time Warner cable service.
Technicians with IT Pit Crew, brought in by County Attorney Mike Knight, say that it is a problem inherent with the design of the system and the lack of a dedicated fiber optic line.
Commissioners are caught in the middle, trying to make sense of the technological problems facing them.
In a marathon meeting that spanned two days with multiple recesses, the county leaders debated just how to solve the problem.
Knight had cautioned the county of jumping too quickly into major changes.
"We are all aware of the problems," he said.
"We have not seized on a solution.
"There is a danger on jumping on something just to get a quick fix.
"You need to take time and consider all of the possibilities before you make that quick call."
Gary Gillett, with Coastal Bend College, was in the audience and asked to give his opinion on the situation.
"The bottom line is we don't want to point fingers," he said. "We just want to get things fixed."
By the meeting Monday afternoon, it was only Time Warner officials who had not been called to the court.
Commissioner Ken Haggard said, "We need to have all the players in the room so we can make a decision because this is going to be a costly decision."
Craig Oliver, IT director, said that he read the report provided by George Pearson during last week's meeting.
"The evaluation was premature and inconclusive due to the lack of data from his company," Oliver said during Monday's meeting. "There were no tests performed other than phone calls observed being received and phone calls observed being sent."
Oliver held up a sheet of paper filled with numbers.
"The technical data are what is important here," he said.
His data showed that Time Warner Cable was still losing packets of data as it traveled across its network to WaveSpeed, which handles the voice-over Internet protocol phone system.
Loss of data means that calls are dropped or words broken up and unintelligible by the other person on the line.
"The information we are seeing is still being dropped before it ever leaves Time Warner's network," he said.
"How does that make it WaveSpeed's problem?" he said. "WaveSpeed has addressed every issue when it was called in, whether it was echoes or a features request.
"The one thing we cannot address and we cannot correct are issues on Time Warner's side."
Pearson, he said, never asked for or did this type of testing for their report to the court.
"This is information that they did not ask for," Oliver said. "They spent all of five minutes in my office.
"They asked me about the switches," he said. "There was no technical testing for data collection to prove it was another company or service provider. I believe that is irresponsible and reckless."
Commissioner Carlos Salazar stopped Oliver as he wanted to continue countering arguments made during the last meeting when he was not there.
"Judge, we are here to discuss the issues related to the phones," Salazar said.
Oliver responded, "These are part of the issue because you made it part of the issue in the newspaper."
Oliver was on vacation last week when the court met and heard the presentation by IT Pit Crew officials.
It was also during that meeting that the county attorney confirmed that Oliver was affiliated with WaveSpeed.
However, Oliver did fully disclose this to the court, as Knight also said.
Oliver said he never recommended WaveSpeed as the company to handle the county's telephone service.
However, Salazar said that while he might not have officially recommended WaveSpeed, his words carry weight as the IT director in their decision making.
"You do give recommendations and, guess what, we go by your recommendations," Salazar said.
As these two leaders debated, albeit heated at times, the packed courtroom sat anxiously waiting — hoping for a solution.
Oliver, later in the meeting, said, "Any decision you make is not going to happen overnight."
Oliver said that he understood the troubles facing the other employees because of the downed lines.
"I have worked numerous hours at night trying to figure out where the problem lies," Oliver said. "They have changed out modems. They have changed out lines."
Time Warner crews replaced one of the modems on Monday and it was noted that the problem went away. This isn't the first time that has happened. Oliver said, the real test will be if it holds up for longer than three days.

This is a really sweet set! I like the grainy effect you added and the lighting. And what a nice outfit, makes me want to go thrifting.
Yes, you do look deep in thought and contemplation. There are so many stories that could go with this. Something from Ibsen or perhaps some teen angst or on a lighter note, what your next blog or outfit will be?

I'm not sure about a story really but the last photo made me think about someone visiting a family member who is on their deathbed...sounds so gloomy and I'm not really sure why that came to mind considering the cheery yellow sweater and soft colors.

Personally, the slightly vintage aesthetic of these photographs, and the print of your top make me think of Sofia Coppola's "The Virgin Suicides." There's a very dreamy, ethereal like quality to both your outfit, and the lighting in these pictures. Love. :)

maybe you put these ones together after watching The Virgin Suicides for the 10th time? that would explain the hazy and aloof atmosphere, but on the clothes.. maybe you should do something crazy and spontaneous and uncommon, though I have no idea what something like that would be to you I'm sure it could help, it has helped me before

I think its lovely. The story is: you like a boy and youre waiting for him to come so you can hang out in a field where you'll pick daiseys and he'll throw grass at you. He texts you to tell you he has to go to his grandma's house. You are distraught.
Am I right?

This is cool. I'm sorry you're in a so-called style rut, darling.
The grainy photo works really well with the floral print and cardi. I feel like I'm looking at some 1930/40s girl, waiting for some boy to come home.
But, you're too young to wait for boys, but you play the role very well. ;)
Maybe you could just grab a few things out of your closet and just....experiment? Just do whatever, and take a few photos, and maybe that'll help get the creative juices flowing.

I like the first one the mostest. Um, you look like a writer sitting at your typewriter by the window - trying to summon up some inspiration. Yes, yes, a young poet of considerable genius - a young Sylvia Plath perhaps? Haha, I know that you're not such a fan of writing poetry, so perhaps it's that play of your's that you're working on? I hope so!!! ;-))

Hi, I recently discovered your blog (and rediscovered fashion and art in general) and I LOVE it. I have no idea what I like in terms of style and visual art but I definitely like your emphasis on fantasy/storytelling/1960s pop culture.
As to the story. You're Irish. And you've just arrived in a small Midwestern town to stay with your very Catholic aunt and uncle. You're joining them on the pretense of looking at American colleges—but you're actually there because you want to get away from your cheating drug fiend ex-girlfriend and your fighting parents. You uncover a deep dark family secret concerning a half-cousin who is either disowned or dead. That's what you're doing in the first picture. But I don't know what happens after that.

SEE! There are tears upon her face-
Tears newly shed, and scarcely dried:
Close, in an agonized embrace,
She clasps the infant at her side.
Peace dwells in those soft-lidded eyes,
Those parted lips that faintly smile-
Peace, the foretaste of Paradise,
In heart too young for care or guile.
No peace that mother's features wear;
But quivering lip, and knotted brow,
And broken mutterings, all declare
The fearful dream that haunts her now,
The storm-wind, rushing through the sky,
Wails from the depths of cloudy space;
Shrill, piercing as the seaman's cry
When death and he are face to face.
Familiar tones are in the gale:
They ring upon her startled ear:
And quick and low she pants the tale
That tells of agony and fear:
"Still that phantom-ship is nigh-
With a vexed and life-like motion,
All beneath an angry sky,
Rocking on an angry ocean.
"Round the straining mast and shrouds
Throng the spirits of the storm:
Darkly seen through driving clouds,
Bends each gaunt and ghastly form.
"See! The good ship yields at last!
Dumbly yields, and fights no more;
Driving, in the frantic blast,
Headlong on the fatal shore.
"Hark! I hear her battered side,
With a low and sullen shock,
Dashed, amid the foaming tide,
Full upon a sunken rock.
"His face shines out against the sky,
Like a ghost, so cold and white;
With a dead despairing eye
Gazing through the gathered night.
"Is he watching, through the dark,
Where a mocking ghostly hand
Points a faint and feeble spark
Glimmering from the distant land?
"Sees he, in this hour of dread,
Hearth and home and wife and child?
Loved ones who, in summers fled,
Clung to him and wept and smiled?
"Reeling sinks the fated bark
To her tomb beneath the wave:
Must he perish in the dark-
Not a hand stretched out to save?
"See the spirits, how they crowd!
Watching death with eyes that burn!
Waves rush in-" she shrieks aloud,
Ere her waking sense return.
The storm is gone: the skies are clear:
Hush'd is that bitter cry of pain:
The only sound, that meets her ear,
The heaving of the sullen main.
Though heaviness endure the night,
Yet joy shall come with break of day:
She shudders with a strange delight-
The fearful dream is pass'd away.
She wakes: the gray dawn streaks the dark:
With early song the copses ring:
Far off she hears the watch-dog bark
A joyful bark of welcoming!

Tavi, you look so much older! ;p
You are so creative hun. I'm loving your imagery.
Check out the blog:

Gosh, Tavi. How old are you again? 13? How did you get so darn stylish and artsy? I started reading Vogue when I was 8 years old and sketching then too, but I only had a brief few years in high school where I was stylish and I mostly wore vintage clothes. I am so impressed, and I am sorry that people have turned your blog into their way to advertise themselves. I don't mean that I'm sorry to see it, I mean I'm sorry that you started this blog for you and because of how popular you got it turned into something you maybe didn't want (just judging that from you have said about it). I understand it must be so amazing to be getting all the press and get to go to shows and have free Prada sent to you, but I get what you meant in a couple posts back, sometimes it's harder to let yourself be yourself when others want you to be someone else. Your story is so fun and I am excited for your future. Even if we don't get to see how your future pans out, I think you have an amazing life ahead of you! : ) Sorry, I have a baby who likes to keep me from sleeping more than two hours at a time and sometimes I'm not very articulate! I hope you get what I mean, if you read this!

They all seem very Cindy Sherman circa late 70s. Excellent.
But the last image feels less connected to the first two. I know they are all the same day same outfit, but the lighting is so drastically different that it evokes a completely different story.
Anyway, they are lovely!

Je suis française et je viens faire un petit tour sur ton blog devenu très connu,ma chère Tavi.Ton blog est très bien fait et très bien écrit,mais trop pompeu pour moi qui suis une inconditionnelle de la mode qui doit être portée par tous,et pas seulement par une petite poignée.Je pense que plus tard tu pourras devenir une grande rédactrice de mode.Tes sujets sont bien rédigés,pertinents qq fois,et de très belles photos.Je te souhaite bonne chance,beaucoup de succès avec ton blog.Bye,bye

Love your skirt and the shirt!
for some reason, when i first looked at the photo, it reminds of someone who is like sick in bed and you come to visit them....those could be some ideas for your story writing! ;D

You look so much like Michelle Williams in these pictures; just lovely. I may not be as stylish as you, but I do appreciate fashion, creativity and individuality. Sometimes, when I'm sad, I come to your blog and it always makes me feel better. God bless you. I wish you great joy.

Love the colours...very English rose.
I think your story should be Jane Austen with a modern twist...you could even go as far as basing the story on 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' (awful book but I still loved it).

A pensive mother, awaits here son/daughter's arrival home, hoping, praying for their safe arrival. I don't quite know if that's what you were looking for, but the long (?) skirt, and the textile's pattern remind me of the woman during Vietnam.

It reminds me some how of Audrey Hepburn in The Nun. Really like it though.
Or perhaps a religious girl who became pregnant and is now attempting to pray her way out of it.
All good stories. I love the lighting.
Get out of your style rut, girl!

Great series of pictures! I just look at them and think of Girl Interrupted or perhaps someone's great aunt waiting for everyone to visit her at the new nursing home never realizing that she gave her family the wrong address.
I have a lot of time on my hands for I too am in a style (and everything else) rut.

How long have you been in a style rut? Whenever I'm in one I dress intentionally ugly, not even ugly in an haute way but way over-the-top&what-the-hell-was-i-thinking-ugly. You should try it! It's fun.

Beautiful pictures, especially the trashy 'filter'. To me this is a story about a good girl, that has done something bad and has been sent away to place where nothing bad could be done. I see both regret and indifference/apathy and really like the ambiguous atmosphere.

You're trying to figure out what shoes to wear in the first one, getting impatient and tapping your foot in the second (it is implied, my dear), and in the last one you're praying for guidance.

Yay! I like the yellow sweater and the "soft" quality of photos. For the story, maybe something about a grandma who's house gets snowed in and she's thinking, and then outside she sees a lot of weird stuff like flying cows and huge balloons outside, and then after reading an editorial realizes she fell asleep? I don't know. Your pictures make me feel like eating banana flavored food now.

The first picture reminds me of-- wait for it-- depression medication commercials! Yay! http://i.ehow.com/images/a02/0j/kh/deal-depression-naturally-200X200.jpg
The second one makes me think of the tied-sweater style of Fay in What About Bob, except not quite as cheery as she was. Pale colors and black lace=not a happy 90s mom.
The third photo makes me think of oatmeal people. Angela from the Office (except a very sad Angela, not an annoyed/mean Angela) and Harold Crick from Stranger Than Fiction. Oatmeal people who sit at home in their oatmeal colored rooms with oatmeal blankets and do things like ?pray? http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20080226/293.kinsey.wilson.office.022608.jpg

You look so pensive and the outfit is so cute.
No joke, I wish I looked like this when I was 13 years old. I'm sure you probably get that a lot, but honestly, your style inspires me and I am 17. Usually I associate middle school with abercrombie, but you give me hope that girls can look stylish and unique when everyone wants to fit in and wear the same thing.

I agree with Erin from Style Savvy
I liked your hair when it was blonde and not grey
you look much younger when your hair was blonde
But i love your blog, so it doesn't matter what your hair color is......

Im with Tavi on the hair thing. Why not color your hair grey, coz you want to, when you can. I mean, imagine if suddenly you have the itch to go electric blue but you're the head of some department in a bank or something. Definitely not happening there.
Do it while you can and have pics to look back and smile at. I wish I did.

Love the way in which the first and second picture seem to fit to each other (apart from your arms), like you took a picture of your head and shoulders and then moved the camera down to take a picture of your torso while you were in the same pose. Although your shoulder are twisted.
I just like accidence.

Vogelsang appointed to Women's Commission
Posted on August 13, 2013
Kathy Vogelsang, '95 & '99, has been appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder to serve a three-year term on the Michigan Women's Commission. The 15-member board works to improve the quality of life for Michigan women, including providing support for female veterans, fighting human trafficking and assisting women business owners.
Vogelsang, who earned a bachelor's degree in finance and an MBA from Grand Valley, is the chief investment officer at the Van Andel Institute, responsible for the investment management of the institute's $1.2 billion endowment.
Previously, Vogelsang served as vice president/senior portfolio manager of the Fifth Third Bank Wealth Management Group; investment manager for JVA Enterprises, the family office of Jay and Betty Van Andel; and financial analyst for Stokes & Company.

Ft. Atkinson credit union victimized in scam
More than 1,000 receive robocalls requesting PIN, card info
More than 1,000 people in Wisconsin and out of state received phone calls from an automated system claiming to be a local credit union helping its members, but it was all a scam.
Fort Community Credit Union has been fielding calls from members and nonmembers about robocalls that claim their MasterCard debit or credit card was compromised.
The calls started Thursday night and reached members at branches in Jefferson and Whitewater. They also reached nonmembers in other parts of Wisconsin, and some members located as far away as Arizona. Even Fort Community Credit Union received a phone call.
Friday and Saturday the credit union was busier than usual as customers came in or called the branch to retrieve new card numbers.
Logan Schwandt, a member at Fort Community Credit Union, said he received three automated calls.
"It was just a computer voice saying for security reasons there was a block on my card and they wanted to reopen it," Schwandt said. "If you followed it then they'd ask you for your card number and (personal identification) number."
Schwandt said he knew something was strange and did not give his card information, but some other members did not catch the warning signs.
"From there fraudsters are able to produce fake, counterfeit MasterCards and withdraw money from ATMs because they also had a PIN," said Sue Johnson, senior vice president of operations at Fort Community Credit Union.
Schwandt said his friends also received the same automated call, but their caller stated it was calling from UW Credit Union not Fort Community Credit Union.
Since Fort Community Credit Union began receiving several calls on Friday, it has been working to resolve the problem, issuing new cards to actual members.
Johnson said the credit union has blocked international activity on member accounts since fraudulent activity was observed from Mexico, Italy and Romania. She said members impacted by the scam have been contacted and may be inconvenienced for a day or two.
Johnson advised consumers to never give out their personal financial information. If you receive a call and you don't know if it's legitimate or not, hang up and call your financial institution. The bank or credit union will verify if it is a legitimate request and would never request your PIN.
Fort Community Credit Union estimated its losses could be a couple thousand dollars.
If you did not give out your card information your account is fine, credit union officials said. But if you did and need to contact fraud services during its off hours, call the 24-hour phone lines. Call 800-264-5578 for debit cards and 866-820-6779 for credit cards.

Creative Spanish cuisine is served up at Picador, a restaurant as cozy as the food is bold in flavor
Pan-roasted pork chop
Photographs: Jane Beiles
At this Spanish-style restaurant in New Canaan, the thirty-four-seat dining room may be petite in scale but it's brimming with comfort and warmth. Creative Mediterranean cuisine, bold in flavor, is showcased through a range of tapas and larger plates. In Spanish, picador refers to a type of bullfighter, yet it's also related to the word pique, which seems fitting since so many dishes here pique your interest—from seared scallops over cauliflower purée with truffle oil to a smoked, bone-in pork chop with Spanish paprika and Valdeon cheese.
In recent months, a new menu was launched by Picador's new co-owners Leo Gaspar and Ray Rivera, and executive chef, Corey Falcone. The team brings fresh additions to the lineup of tapas, ensaladas, entrées and carnes, plus stellar desserts from their personal recipes. This trio of restaurant pros are well known in our area. Gaspar and Rivera both live in New Canaan with their families and Falcone is the former chef-owner of Bella Luna, a popular Springdale Italian. Gaspar and his wife, Jennifer—also owners of Club Sandwich—liked this local eatery so much they decided to buy it and partner with Ray Rivera, who came out of retirement after many years at the Greenwich Hyatt.
When you're seated at one of the copper-top tables, nestled into the leather banquette that hugs half the perimeter of the room, you feel as if you're in the home of a personal friend. Rivera glides from table to table, chatting with guests and suggesting wines. We were pleased with the Capitoso Rioja he recommended, a new house red. Walls are covered with copper- and wood-framed mirrors, and casual décor includes throw pillows—there was one placed between my seat and the window to block any draft. We started with tapas, of course, substantial enough that you could make a meal just by ordering a selection for the table. Wedges of Manchego are artfully arranged on a wood cutting board, each slice topped with Marcona almonds and drizzled with truffle honey for a lush, earthy combination. Tiger shrimp flambé with ajillo peppers and cubes of Serrano ham tastes even more intriguing in a sauce enlivened with orange oil and turmeric. We also liked the rich and hearty beef tips with hot cherry peppers, arugula and melted Mahon cheese.
Chef Falcone, working with sous -chef Frank Barrese, sends out dishes on a whim; we were treated to a plate of ravioli in a demi-glaze with truffle oil. For our mains, the branzino lived up to its reputation: Shaved fennel blankets the plate, topping the tender fish served in a lemony sauce with grape tomatoes, and spinach. Those who love a good steak will appreciate the filet mignon, a perfect cut of meat covered in peppercorn sauce.
Dessert? The flan is Ray's mother's recipe; it's light, silky and not overly sweet. A decadent Bananas Foster lets caramelized bananas and vanilla ice cream swim in a sea of cinnamon, while Pan Perdido blends bread pudding with apples and peaches. Our recommendation: Say Si to these splurge-worthy offerings.
