Hi there (:
So I've been inspired by recent posts here on Chictopia and in magazines to wear shirts over skirts instead of tucked in. I tried to get that flouncy effect, but this is a high-waisted skirt so I think I failed…
1. Plaid Blouse — Urban Outfitters
2. Blue Skirt — Urban Outfitters
I've been given the Beautiful Blogger Award by two lovely ladies: Whitney from whit078 and Mel from melongirl13. Whitney always seems to have perfect hair and easy, yet chic outfits, while Mel is always so adorably chic! I'm truly honored.
I love it here on Chictopia. Even on days when I feel extremely silly for posting pictures of myself in outfits that I don't think are as chic as many of you lovely ladies, you all always make me feel confident and happy about what I wore/am wearing.
So here goes…Seven random facts about me, enjoy! I apologize if this ends up being really long…I get easily carried away…(hey, a freebie!)
1. When I get mad, I clean, furiously (no pun intended). I don't really know what it is. Something just triggers in my mind like "OMG, what IS this mess?!" To me, cleaning is super relaxing and satisfying once it's over. I don't get mad easily though.
2. I'm generally a neat person. Of course there are times when I go days with clothes strewn on the floor and papers cluttered on my desk, but I can't stand it for too long. I especially hate messy cars, and messy backpacks/binders/notebooks.
3. I love doing laundry. The hamper becomes a sort of time-capsule, and every weekend you open it up and memories with each outfit fill your mind. I am really particular with how I do my laundry though: only my clothes can be in the washer (something about other people's dirty underwear washing with mine really irks me…), and anything that isn't underwear or something I want to shrink is hung dry inside. I despise that dried-in-the-sun smell—what's the point of buying fragrant detergent?! (I love All's Fresh Rain detergent)
3.5. Once my clothes are dry, they are put in their designated space in my closet, which is too-small, and categorized by color and type. I think I organized my closet on one of those mad-cleaning-sprees…
4. I have many pet-peeves. Among them, girls who unnecessarily wear belts over shirts. Yesterday I saw a girl wearing this wide black elastic belt over one of those Gap (Inspi)RED shirts. Another would have to be sandwiches that are upside down in a sandwich bag. Of course this only only applies to sandwiches with a rounded top, which I consider to be the head so it should be on top, right?!
5. Music, photography, writing and reality TV shows are definitely my anti-drugs. I obsessively collect music. If I hear a song that is good and I'm outside, I will frantically write down the lyrics and look the song up immediately when I get home. I also collect quotes for those times when I can't articulate myself. There will always be someone or some song that can. I have never missed an episode of ANTM or Project Runway!
6. I am currently a third year at University of California, Irvine. I am majoring in Psychology and Social Behavior, and minoring in Digital Arts. I have no idea what I want to do with my life sadly…I used to want to be a clinical psychologist, but recently, my passion for psychology has extinguished. But I am thinking of doubling in Literary Journalism, so we'll see how that goes.
and 7. I am still with my high-school sweetheart, who is my first and only boyfriend and I am his first and only girlfriend. Funny thing is…I used to loathe his existence since he was a huge jerk and was infamous for cheating on exams. He stopped cheating for me though (awww!), and now we're inseparable. Our third anniversary is quickly approaching (Jan. 26). Yay!
I am sure most of the people I want to tag have already been tag, so I tag everyone who hasn't done this tag. But I do want to take the time to thank a few Chictopians who have shown constant support and encouragement. I honestly wish and hope that one day we can all meet in real life! These people are:
Jasmine (hey, look another freebie :P)

The trial of Alaska Yellow Cab driver Chidiebere Nwokorie began Thursday in Anchorage Superior Court, with the state arguing the cabbie tried to force alternative compensation on a woman when he sexually assaulted her after offering what she thought was a free ride.
Assistant District Attorney Jason Gist told jurors there are some givens in life -- like there's no such thing as a free meal. And, he said, "There's no such thing as a free cab ride."
Gist stuck closely to the details of the alleged rape presented nearly three years ago in the charges against Nwokorie. The charges include first-degree sex assault, attempted first-degree sex assault and two counts of second-degree sex assault, all felonies.
Police arrested Nwokorie, 46, of Anchorage, on a Sunday afternoon in August 2011. The charges say the assault occurred in the service lot on Ship Avenue, in an industrial area northeast of downtown.
He spent just hours in jail before being released on $5,000 bail, according to an Anchorage Daily News story at that time.
A little before 2:30 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon, Nwokorie's accuser, frightened and clutching her pants in her hand, flagged down a passing motorist and told him a Yellow Cab driver had sexually assaulted her, according to the charges. The assault happened just before that, Gist said. The woman was 27 at the time.
Gist said the woman had accepted a ride from Nwokorie as she was walking to the Fifth Avenue Mall from the Mountain View neighborhood to buy a battery for her cell phone. But Nwokorie never took her to the mall, the prosecutor said, and he did not start his meter.
In later interviews with detectives, Nwokorie said he'd offered the woman a free ride because they were the same race, and she looked like she needed help. Nwokorie is African-American. He appeared in court wearing a pinstripe suit.
Nwokorie initially drove the woman to a GCI store in Midtown after convincing her it sold the battery she needed, Gist said. It turned out they didn't. Rather than take her to the mall, Nwokorie headed for the service lot; he told the woman he'd take her home after retrieving his personal car from the lot, he said.
Gist said Nwokorie started fondling the woman during the drive.
Once at the lot, Nwokorie asked the woman to get in the back seat, and when she refused he "escorted her," Gist said. He penetrated her with his finger and was preparing to continue with the assault when the woman pulled "a ruse," he said.
She said she heard something outside, which startled Nwokorie. He pulled up his pants and looked around. That's when the woman made a run for it, Gist said. But she left behind her belongings, including a jean jacket and shoes -- Air Jordans that were left sitting in the back seat, he said.
The woman waved down a passing motorist, enlisted military man Bradely Orr. Orr was headed to his storage unit to clean his guns after a day at the gun range in Birchwood. Gist said he called 911 for the woman, and during that call Nwokorie pulled up in his cab.
Orr, the first witness to take the stand Thursday, held Nwokorie at gunpoint until police arrived. The prosecutor played the call for the jury. In the call, a dispatcher asks Orr about the woman, and about her assailant. She can be heard giving answers over sobs in the background. When Nwokorie pulls up, Orr apparently quickly retrieves his gun from his vehicle.
At first, he says, "Sir, get back in the car." But moments later, the command changes to, "Sir, put your hands on the hood of the cab. Put your hands on the hood of the cab."
He held Nwokorie there until police officers arrived.
Nwokorie denied any sexual contact with the woman, Gist said. He claimed he'd been irate because she stole his phone. The prosecutor admitted as much, arguing she took the phone when she fled because, having used the phone to make two calls during what she thought was a free ride, she knew his background screen was a picture of himself.
Gist said the victim's DNA was found under Nwokorie's finger nails.
Defense attorney Joseph Van De Mark called the state's theory "an interesting story." He said prosecutors are relying on one thing: the credibility of the victim.
Van De Mark agreed the woman's genetic material was found on his client, but he said so was the DNA of at least three other people.
"Why? He's a cabbie," Van De Mark said. "He has contact with people" daily.
According to the defense, the woman came running toward Nwokorie, yelling she'd been raped. Van De Mark did not specify where this occurred.
He asked jurors to listen closely to the woman's testimony, as well as scrutinize the state's lack of evidence. He said they'll come to find the woman is dishonest and told investigators inconsistent stories. She also made money off the incident, Van De Mark said.
According to court records, the alleged victim sued Nwokorie and several companies connected to Yellow Cab. Court records available online do not indicate how much she received in the settlement, and the civil case file was not available Thursday.
Nwokorie's trial is scheduled to continue through next week.

Bequest Stories
Meet Jeannie Wright
Jeannie shares why she created a lasting legacy for the natural world.
Making a Charitable Bequest: My Story
I grew up in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, and spent my summers swimming in the lake near our house and taking long walks through the woods with my mom a few days each week. She would point out to me the different species all around us—the wildflowers, the birds and the water moccasins slithering in the water. It was my mother's love of nature that helped instill those same values in me and eventually led to my passion for bird watching.
Many years later, my brother introduced me to the work of The Nature Conservancy. He brought an issue of Newsweek to a family event that included a very short piece about the Conservancy's 25th anniversary. He encouraged me and my family members to join the organization, which at that time was quietly doing valuable conservation work. In addition to lending financial support to the Conservancy, through the years I became involved in other ways—attending field trips and helping plan fundraisers.
It is so important to me that this once-quiet organization has expanded its reach throughout the world. As a well-traveled birder, I have come to understand more fully how critical it is that we protect habitat for birds, but also for all species, including people.
Working with the Conservancy staff, I have seen their level of commitment and dedication. I admire the organization's science-based approach in all situations. They do not simply acquire land; they ask what is unique about each piece of property and why it should be preserved. For these reasons, I believe The Nature Conservancy is doing the best possible conservation work.
I have served on the Conservancy's Georgia Board of Trustees since 2001 and became board chair in 2011.
Join Me
I know The Nature Conservancy will always care about protecting Georgia's forests, rivers and coast—the first wild places I loved. I decided to join The Legacy Club through a bequest in my will so that the work I have been doing with the Conservancy will continue after I am gone. This is a gift I can bestow on future generations and I sincerely hope others will join me.

Stearns reports: "After becoming the epicenter for press suppression and journalist arrests over the last nine months, the NYPD is trying to rewrite history and pretend like nothing ever happened."

NYPD Tries to Rewrite History of Journalist Arrests
11 June 12
fter becoming the epicenter for press suppression and journalist arrests over the last nine months, the NYPD is trying to rewrite history and pretend like nothing ever happened.
On Friday, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and NYPD spokesman Paul Browne discussed the now-infamous raid on Zuccotti Park last November. In an exclusive interview with the Queens Chronicle, Browne is reported to have said that only one journalist was arrested during the operation. He called stories to the contrary a "total myth." He continued, arguing that "Occupy Wall Street protesters were forging press credentials in an effort to get through the police lines ... but that doesn't mean actual reporters were arrested."
There is so much wrong with this statement it's hard to know where to start. I have been tracking journalist arrests at Occupy protests around the country since last September so I feel compelled to set the record straight.
1) The Mayor Disagrees
First of all, back in November right after the raid on Zuccotti Park, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg went into damage-control mode. His spokesman, Stu Loeser, sent a memo to media outlets confirming that five journalists with NYPD press credentials had been arrested, but discounted and dismissed claims by other journalists regarding their arrests. Given that, Paul Browne's comments are clearly uninformed or intentionally misleading.
2) The Real Numbers
In fact, the NYPD arrested 11 journalists on the day of the Zuccotti raid. You can click here to see the details of their arrests, as well as the names of the publications they work for. This information was independently verified by Choire Sicha at the Awl.
Since the Occupy Wall Street movement began, the NYPD has arrested nearly 40 journalists. That is almost half of the 85 people who have been detained around the country while covering Occupy protests.
3) Are You an "Actual Reporter"?
Finally, embedded in Paul Browne's comments to the Queens Chronicle is a troubling statement about the First Amendment. Mr. Browne believes that it is the role of the NYPD to decide who is an "actual reporter." After the November arrests, Elizabeth Spiers wrote a post entitled "Notes on the NYPD Press Credentialing Process, from the (Ineligible) Editor-in-Chief of the New York Observer," in which she questioned "whether credentialing by law enforcement is appropriate in the first place (inasmuch as it can potentially conflict with First Amendment protections)." Spiers detailed how "the NYPD's processes for acquiring credentials are, to put it nicely, Kafkaesque. To put it bluntly: they're ridiculous."
Some of the people arrested last November didn't have NYPD press credentials, but they had press badges on and were working for well established outlets like the New York Daily News, Vanity Fair, Agence France-Presse, and TV New Zealand. Even so, recent court cases and statements from the Department of Justice have made clear that as we enter an age of participatory media making, the protections of the First Amendment extend to all people.
In its recent letter to Baltimore police, the Department of Justice states:
Police departments should not place a higher burden on individuals to exercise their right to record police activity than they place on members of the press. The Supreme Court has established that "the press does not have a monopoly on either the First Amendment or the ability to enlighten." Indeed, numerous courts have held that a private individual's right to record is coextensive with that of the press. A private individual does not need "press credentials" to record police officers engaged in the public discharge of their duties.
While it's troubling to see the NYPD trying to rewrite the history of its shameful journalist arrests, it's perhaps even more concerning to see them also trying to rewrite our fundamental freedoms.

Why would anyone accept any history written by any police department. History is written by the people. This was the claim for history written by Howard Zinn or Eric Foner in "Who Owns History." They both say that ordinary people own history and must write their own histories. Gangs of thugs always try to act as if they own history and the commission writers to produce histories for them, but we all know this is just more thug action.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
While this Red Sox offseason has been relatively quiet outside of the trade for closer Andrew Bailey and the hiring of Bobby Valentine as manager, they have made a little noise lately with regards to their starting rotation. General manager Ben Cherington signed veterans Carlos Silva and Aaron Cook to minor league contracts to add potential depth to the Sox pitching staff.
As of this date in January, the Red Sox will enter Spring Training with many questions and stories, but the most significant for the team going forward is who will secure the last two spots in the rotation behind Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, and Clay Buchholz. Meanwhile, what can realistically be expected of those three considering the ups and downs each has faced over the last couple of years?
The bullpen has question marks of its own, as it has the potential to have a completely new look with the acquisitions of Bailey and Houston reliever Mark Melancon. Set up man Daniel Bard will be a candidate to win a job as a starter, leaving Melancon to set up Bailey. However, if Bard remains in the bullpen the Sox would have a great strength in the later innings, as the trio would be one of the best 7-8-9 set of relievers in the game, rivaling that of the Yankees' Rafael Soriano, David Robertson, and Mariano Rivera.
One way or another, the biggest problem remains the starting rotation. It appears that as of today the realistic options for Valentine include Silva, Cook, Bard, Alfredo Aceves, Andrew Miller, and Felix Doubront. It doesn't appear that the Red Sox are willing to spend any more money this offseason on pitchers such as Hiroki Kuroda or Roy Oswalt, who would immediately enter the rotation. That's quite unfortunate because there aren't any clearcut frontrunners for those last two spots.
Instead of worrying about which two pitchers can get the job done, let's shift our attention to the three starters who will hopefully lead the Red Sox throughout the 2012 season. Beckett and Lester are clearly the true aces of the staff, as Buchholz has the potential but has been inconsistent throughout his career because of injuries. If the three of them can perform at great levels, the importance of getting great value from the backend starters is lessened, and the depth in starting pitching becomes an advantage.
Beckett was phenomenal in 2011, soaring past expectations after a year before in which he struggled mightily and looked lost on the mound. In 193 innings he posted a 2.89 ERA, the lowest of his career when pitching at least 25 innings. He had an even more impressive 1.03 WHIP and was considered in the discussion for Cy Young despite the field being blown away by Justin Verlander. In 2012, Beckett should show signs of his 2011 form, although he won't be as dominant.
Prediction: 16-8, 3.20 ERA, 190 innings
Lester seemed to take a slight step back in 2011 surprisingly, though his numbers across the board were still that of an ace. He finished 15-9 with a 3.53 ERA, but pitched under 200 innings striking out just 182 after consecutive seasons of striking out 225. This year I expect Lester to bounce back to being the #1 pitcher on the staff, and even rise to the Cy Young discussion.
Prediction: 19-5, 3.00 ERA, 200 innings
Buchholz is a critical pitcher for the Red Sox in 2012 and for the next several years. Last year, he only started 14 games because of injuries and was limited to under 100 innings. However when he did pitch, he was effective, finishing the year 6-3 with a 3.48 ERA and striking out nearly twice as many batters as he walked. His season though came no where close to 2010, when he was 17-7 with a 2.33 ERA, numbers which it will be interesting to see if he can ever get back to in the coming seasons. This year will be a step in the right direction though.
Prediction: 14-6, 3.40 ERA, 180 innings
Given those approximations for numbers next year, the Red Sox pitching staff will have quite the trio of starters to work with as they attempt to make another run at a championship. Those win totals sum to nearly 50, but for this team to win the World Series in 2012 they are going to need nearly 50 more from the rest of the staff. That's where the promise of depth in starting pitching and a rebuilt bullpen could be critical.
There certainly aren't too many sexy options to take those backend rotations spots. Usually a look at the pitching matchup for a game and the sight of "Andrew Miller" doesn't exactly bring the excitement of Beckett or Lester. However, I think the pitchers with a real shot at those rotation slots as of right now are Miller, Aaron Cook, and Alfredo Aceves.
I understand the allure of having Daniel Bard start, and I have no doubt that he will be stretched out and be given the opportunity to prove himself in Spring Training, but I think that with the lot of starters the Sox have already assembled, as well as the possibility of injured pitchers like Daisuke Matsuzaka returning during the season, there's no immediate need to try and transition him to the rotation. The appeal of that deadly backend trio is too enticing to pass up. He can land the rotation gig next year, but for now he belongs in the bullpen.
To this day I can not understand why Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees allowed Alfredo Aceves walk away in free agency…nonetheless allow him to sign with the rival Red Sox! Aceves has shown a great potential to start, and received the opportunity many times last year with the Sox, so it should be no surprise that he is a favorite for the fourth spot in the rotation.
At this point in his career, he should be transitioning to a consistent starter instead of fill-in and long reliever. Normally, he'd be a terrific fifth starter, but the Red Sox can get by with him as their four.
I think this will prove to be the real battle in Spring Training. One of these pitchers can win the last spot in the rotation, and the other will be on call if a starter goes down. I like the signing of Cook a lot. He's battled through injury problems over the last few years but has some potential, so there's lots of upside there. On the other hand, the Sox have seen Miller up close and know what to expect from the sometimes stellar, oftentimes erratic pitcher. I think Miller will land the spot, but we'll definitely see Cook at some point later this year if he stays healthy.
The words 'pitching' and 'health' have haunted the Red Sox over the last few seasons, and there's no real reason to believe that this year will be different. But at the same time they do have great depth in options if any of their pitchers go down. The key for Boston in 2012 will be keeping their trio of aces healthy if they want a chance at a run in October. Still though, they have arguably the best offense in baseball that can carry any pitcher throughout the regular season, so there's no reason expectations for this year should be any less than last season. I still believe they are the favorites for the American League East, and believe they will atone for their collapse last year.

[…] Sports of Boston previewed Boston's pitching staff. […]
Don't agree.Starting pitching is "iffy"at best.Sox should grab Oswalt.Check the era's of Cook,Miller,and Silva.If you have to score more than five runs a game to win(all three have lousy lifetime eras)you are going to lose.Check Wakefields era down the stretch last year.For that matter check his era for any year.Ditto Silva and Cook.
Jim Penson
Jim – I hear what you're saying but the Sox haven't shown the signs of spending money on pitchers like Oswalt, and they shouldn't because they do have depth in their pitching. The idea of assembling a mass of starters is similar to the way the Yankees rediscovered Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia last year. The Sox have enough offense to carry them into October, and if that trio at the top of the rotation stays healthy, they can win it all behind them. You don't need 4 or 5 aces when you have the best lineup in baseball and a potentially brilliant bullpen.
Dude what are you smoking to think that Bard, Meloncon and Bailey are anywhere near the Yankees back three.
Jfan – I agree that the Yankees back end is stronger but the Sox trio should belong in the conversation, just look at the inning and ERA of the six from 2011:
Andrew Bailey 41.2, 3.24
Daniel Bard 73.0, 3.33
Mark Melancon 74.1, 2.78
Mariano Rivera 61.1, 1.91
David Robertson 66.2, 1.08
Rafael Soriano 39.1, 4.12
I expect stronger years from Soriano and Bard (if he stays in the bullpen), and steps back from Rivera and Robertson, as well as Melancon in a new league, but overall they're certainly debatable for 2012 if healthy. The problem now is that the Yankees have sured up their rotation, making their entire staff deeper and stronger.
So who was right?The Sox pitching
was terrible.No money was spent,
and the Sox are headed for fourth or
last.If they do the same this fall, they will finish last next year.

I have finally had a chance to sit down and relax. For those of you that don't know I work for the town of Duxbury in the Dept of Lands and Natural Resources. In my 15+ years here, I have never seen more damage caused by any storm, hurricane, nor'easter etc.. than this past weekends event. I remember 1978 as well, I was 13 and even though that was 35 years ago, I can remember that the tree damage was far less than this one.
I am fortunate to be in a house in Duxbury with power (my mother's), with my brother and his family. Our Pembroke homes are still without power. When I went to work on Friday, I never thought I wouldn't be going home until, well,...I'm still not at home.
After many ours of plowing, and many hours of running a chain saw, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope all you made it through without incident. My thanks to all the guys that work to restore power. If you are one of the complainers that says it takes to long to get your power back, you have no idea what it takes to get the job done.
C'mon SPRING!

Maple syrup is one of my favorite sweeteners because it can add a deep, rich flavor to baked goods, in addition to making them sweet. Good quality maple syrup is not inexpensive, and that is one of the reasons that people shy away from using it in their baking. A good quality maple syrup is well worth the investment when it is used in a ... Read More »

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Cinnamon Frosting
Pumpkin pie is the most common dessert made with pumpkin and it is a good one. The custardy filling is sweet and spicy, and its creamy texture contrasts well with a flaky pastry crust. It's not the only great pumpkin dessert out there, however, and I would put these Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Cinnamon Frosting up near the top of the list. They're a great ... Read More »
Maple Bacon Waffles
I don't make waffles as often as I make pancakes, simply because it is easier to clean a griddle than it is to clean my waffle iron. But I like waffles at least as much as I like pancakes and they're always a great breakfast on a lazy weekend morning. A good waffle should be tender inside and crisp outside – and a great waffle ...

Vermont Redefines Their Maple Syrup Standards
The majority of maple syrup is produced in Quebec, Canada. They turn out 75% of the world's production annually, approximately 6,300,000 gallons of syrup. Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island also produce smaller amounts of maple syrup. In the US, Vermont is the largest producer of maple syrup with about 5.5% of the global supply. New York and Maine are also responsible for ... Read More »
Can I substitute for maple syrup?
Maple syrup is a delicious syrup that is popular not only as a pancake and waffle topping, but as an ingredient in all kinds of recipes. Maple syrup is only made during a small window each year in a fairly labor-intensive process, so it tends to be fairly expensive and that means that many people don't keep it on hand all the time and that ...

Americans spend upwards of $400 million dollars a year on pancake syrup and maple syrup while shopping in supermarkets, and consumer much more than that when you take into account that people are dousing their pancakes, french toast and waffles in syrup when dining in restaurants.

It is fairly easy to caramelize apples on the stovetop, cooking them in a pan with a bit of butter and sugar until they are browned and tender.

Read Kansas Read, a summer reading program launched by Governor Sam Brownback, the Kansas State Board of Education and the State Library of Kansas, released a series of new television and radio public service announcements that will air statewide beginning this week.
Governor Brownback says the announcements will feature some high-profile Kansans, including University of Kansas Head Men's Basketball Coach Bill Self, Wichita State's Head Baseball Coach Gene Stephenson, Pittsburg State University Head Football Coach Tim Beck and others.
"The goal of the program is to keep Kansas children reading over the summer," Governor Brownback said. "These new advertisements are designed to catch the eye of young Kansans and to raise awareness that their local heroes are reading during the summer, and they should too."
The group of advertisements include coaches and players from a number of Kansas' Regents Universities.
"Reading provides a strong foundation for success in school, career, and life," said Andy Tompkins, president and CEO of the Kansas Board of Regents. "We are honored to join Governor Brownback in promoting Read Kansas Read, and I pledge to read at least five books this summer. I challenge students across the state to participate in this program and discover the joy of reading!"
The Kansas Association of Broadcasters (KAB) has partnered with the program to help distribute and air the PSAs. Kent Cornish, the President of KAB, said the organization is happy to support such an important cause.
"Promoting the summer reading program is a real collaborative effort," Cornish said. "The Kansas Association of Broadcasters is happy to do what we can to spread the word that reading is important, especially during the summer."
In August, the top two summer readers from each of the 10 Kansas State Department of Education districts and their families will join the Governor and First Lady for a special picnic celebration catered by Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers at Cedar Crest, the Governor's Mansion, in Topeka. Special guests and mascots from Kansas universities and colleges also will attend the celebration.
Kids interested in participating can sign up at the local library or download their own book tracking form from the program's website, www.ReadKansasRead.ks.gov. All participating libraries and individuals must complete and return their form by August 1st.
"I want to challenge every Kansas student to read as many books as they can this summer. I plan to read at least four," Brownback said.
Sponsors of the summer reading program include Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, Kansas Association of Broadcasters, Kansas Board of Regents, Kansas Book Festival, Kansas State Library, Kansas State Department of Education, State Library of Kansas, Kansas State University, MetaMetrics, Inc., Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas, and Wichita State University.

The Bare Maximum
The concept of synchronized swimming takes on a whole new meaning this Saturday, and you can be a part of it but not your swim trunks. Thats right, the Seminole Nudist Resort in Davie is joining other resorts and nude beaches across the continent in an attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the greatest number of people simultaneously skinny-dipping. Starting at 3 p.m., the American Association for Nude Recreation is calling on as many skinny-dippers as possible to share a swim. Theres no half-(bare)-assing this; all swimmers must be completely naked, and there will be an official member in standing from the local community to witness the event. (Theres probably a joke about standing members to be made, but well let you do the honors.)
Ditch the bathing suit and bring your birthday suit over to the Seminole Nudist Resort (3800 SW 142 Ave., Davie). Call 954-473-0231, or visit aanr.com/skinny-dip.html.

About Jan III, hertog van Brabant
John III, Duke of Brabant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- John III, Duke of Brabant - Wikipedia - English
- Jan III van Brabant - Wikipedia - Dutch
- Jean III de Brabant - Wikipedia - French
Jan III van Brabant (1300 – December 5, 1355, Brussels), also called John III, the Triumphant[citation needed], was Duke of Brabant, Lothier, and Limburg (1312–1355).[1] He was the son of John II, Duke of Brabant and his wife Margaret, daughter of King Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castile.
In 1311, as his father's gesture of rapprochement with France, he married Marie d'Evreux (d. 1335), the daughter of count Louis d'Évreux and Marguerite d'Artois. They had six children:
Joanna, Duchess of Brabant (1322–1406)
Margaret of Brabant (February 9, 1323 – 1368), married at Saint-Quentin on June 6, 1347 Louis II of Flanders
Marie of Brabant (1325 – March 1, 1399), Lady of Turnhout, married at Tervuren on July 1, 1347 Reginald III of Guelders
John (1327–1335/36)
Henri (d. October 29, 1349)
Godfrey (d. aft. February 3, 1352)
John and the towns of Brabant
The early fourteenth century, an economic boom time for Brabant, marks the rise of the Duchy's towns, which depended on English wool for their essential cloth industry. During John's minority, the major towns of Brabant had the authority to appoint councillors to direct a regency, under terms of the Charter of Kortenberg granted by his father in the year of his death (1312). By 1356 his daughter and son-in-law were forced to accept the famous Joyous Entry as a condition for their recognition, so powerful had the States of Brabant become.
The marital alignment with France was tested and failed as early as 1316, when Louis X requested Brabant to cease trade with Flanders and to participate in a French attack; the coucillors representing the towns found this impossible, and in reprisal Louis prohibited all French trade with Brabant in February 1316, in violation of a treaty of friendship he had signed with Brabant in the previous October.
[edit]The French alliance, 1332-1337
After his initial period of maintaining independent neutrality from both France and England, [2] Neighboring sovereigns in the Low Countries, stimulated as a matter of policy by Philip VI of France became John's enemies; among the adversaries of John were the Count of Flanders, the prince-bishop of Liège, and counts of Holland and Guelders. In 1332, a crisis with the king of France arose over John's hospitality to Robert, count of Flanders, during his journey to eventual asylum at the English court. In response to French pressure John reminded Philip that he did not hold Brabant from him but from God alone.[3] A brief campaign of a coalition of Philip's friends came to a truce, followed by a pact at Compiègne by which John received a fief from Philip worth 2000 livres and declared himself a vassal of France. His oldest son, Jean, was betrothed to Philip's daughter Marie, and it was agreed that the Brabançon heir would complete his education at the French court in Paris and that Robert of Artois would be expelled from Brabant.
The support of France strengthened John's hand with his feudal suzerein, the Holy Roman Emperor. Though he was technically the Emperor's feudal vassal, John had been able to ignore Emperor Louis IV's summons to join him in his intended invasion of Lombardy (1327).[4] The separation of Brabant from the Empire was completed by the Burgundian dukes of Brabant in the fifteenth century.
Meanwhile, the princes of the Low Countries settled their differences and formed a coalition against Brabant with a defensive alliance in June 1333. War was briefly brought to the Duchy of Brabant in the summer of 1334, but resolved by a peace brokered by Philip at Amiens. The French king declared that John had to hand over the town of Tiel and its neighbouring villages Heerewaarden and Zandwijk to the count of Guelders and to betroth his daughter Marie to the count's son, Reinoud.
[edit]The English alliance, 1337-1355
When Edward III of England decided to press his claim to the crown of France in 1337, John, who was his first cousin became an ally of England during the first stage of the Hundred Years' War. To Edward's diplomatic offensive to draw Brabant away from France, John lent a sympathetic ear.[5] Disrupting the staple connection between the towns of Flanders and the sources of English wool should divert it to the towns of Brabant, notably the recently-established wool exchange. Edward protected Brabançon merchants in England from arrest or the confiscation of their goods, and he sweetened his offers with a promise of £60,000, an immense sum, and to make good any losses of revenue that might be confiscated by the king of France. The same month of July 1337 John promised Edward 1200 of his men-at-arms in the event of an English campaign in France, Edward to pay their salary. In August Edward pledged not to negotiate with the king without prior consultation with the duke. The alliance, kept secret at John's insistence, came into the open when Edward landed with his troops at Antwerp July 1338. John received the promised subsidy (March 1339) and agreed in June to betroth John's second daughter, Margaret, to Edward, the Black Prince, heir to the English throne. Two seasons of inconclusive campaigning that ravaged the north of France left Edward penniless at the end of 1341; he returned home, and when he returned to the fray, it was to Brittany: he never returned to the Low Countries.
[edit]The French alliance, 1345-1346
Though John was requesting papal dispensation for the marriage of Margaret and the Black Prince in 1343, the alliance with England unravelled as Edward's coffers emptied and his attentions turned elsewhere. In September 1345 representative of France and Brabant met at the Château de Saint-Germainen-Layre to sign preliminary agreements, and by a treaty signed at Saint-Quentin, June 1347, Brabant was retained as an ally by France. Margaret was now to marry Louis of Male, who had inherited the title of count of Flanders, but whose power against the Flemish communes was virtually nil. A point of dispute with the count of Flanders had been the lordship of Mechelen/Malines, a strategic enclave within Brabant: it was agreed that it would now come under full Brabançon control. Despite the diplomacy of Edward, John remained true to his French commitments until his death in December 1355.
In 1350, Jews were persecuted in Brabant.
[edit]The heiress of Brabant
In 1355, when his two surviving sons died one right after the other, John was forced to declare his daughter Joan his heiress, which would provoke a succession crisis after his death. John III was buried in the Cistercian Abbey of Villers (now in Belgium). His sons having predeceased him, he was succeeded by his daughter Joanna.
The standard history is Piet Avonds, Brabant tijdens de regering van Hertog Jan III (1312-1356)(Koninglijke Academie, Brussels) 1991.

Metered Market Wednesday Ratings
CBS Wins; Week 2 of Arrow Solid on The CW
Wednesday 10/17/12
Metered Market Results
Fox 4.5/ 7
-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Wednesday 10/19/11
CW: +69, CBS: no change, ABC: - 6, NBC: -22, Fox: -51
Survivor: Philippines (CBS), Arrow (CW), Modern Family (ABC), Criminal Minds (CBS), CSI (CBS)
-Honorable Mention:
The Middle (ABC)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
Animal Practice (NBC), Guys With Kids (NBC)
-Ratings Breakdown:
CBS got over the Wednesday "hump" in winning overnight fashion, with a 23 percent advantage over second-place ABC. Since only one network, The CW, was on the year-to-year plus side (+69 percent), let's start with week two of drama Arrow, which dropped by only seven percent from its week ago-ago debut (3.0/ 5 on Oct. 10) with a 2.8 rating/5 share (#5) at 8 p.m. Keep in mind that most new series decline 10 to 20 percent in week two. Comparably, Arrow outdelivered a repeat of Ringer on the year-ago evening (0.9/ 1) by a whopping 211 percent, and the young male demos are expected to look particularly promising. It is very safe to predict a full season pick-up will be issued at any moment. Congratulations, The CW…Arrow is a hit.
At 9 p.m., veteran Supernatural is also on the plus side versus its prior Friday night performance thanks to the support from Arrow. But a 1.5/ 2 in the overnights from 9-10 p.m. (#5) was 47 percent below Arrow and the network can put this time period to better use. Compared to year-ago time period occupant America's Next Top Model (1.8/ 3 on 10/19/11), Supernatural dipped by 17 percent.
In other week two news, Nashville on ABC (#2: 5.0/ 9) versus Chicago Fire on NBC (#3: 4.2/ 7) at 10 p.m. held a 19 percent overnight advantage. But CSI on CBS led the hour with a 7.3/12, which was four percent above the year-ago evening (when it faced Revenge on ABC and Law & Order: SVU on NBC). Comparably (and minus the lead-in support from Modern Family last week), Nashville dipped by a hefty 27 percent from one week earlier. And it was down by 15 percent from aforementioned Revenge one year earlier (5.9/10 on 10/19/11). But one piece of positive news was retention out of the season-premiere of lead-in Suburgatory (#2: 5.6/ 9 at 9:30 p.m.) of a solid 89 percent.
Chicago Fire, meanwhile, dropped by a less extensive 11 percent from its week-ago opener (4.7/ 8 on Oct. 10). And retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of lead-in Law & Order: SVU (5.0/ 8) was respectable at 84 percent. But compared to year-go occupant Law & Order: SVU (5.9/ 9 on 10/19/11) this was down by 29 percent. Of the two, Nashville is the more promising entry.
Earlier in the evening on ABC was underrated The Middle at a second-place 6.3/10 at 8 p.m., followed by week four of The Neighbors (#2: 5.0/ 8), Modern Family (#1: 9.0/14) and the aforementioned second season-premiere of Suburgatory (#2: 5.6/ 9) from 8:30-10 p.m. Comparably, The Neighbors built by nine percent week-to-week (versus a 4.6/ 7 on Oct. 10) with retention out of Modern Family of 79 percent. And The Middle and The Neighbors, on average, beat competing NBC comedies Animal Practice (#4: 2.9/ 5) and Guys With Kids (#4: 3.2/ 5) by 85 percent.
At 9:30 p.m., Suburgatory built from year-ago occupant Happy Endings (4.9/ 8 on 10/19/11) by 14 percent, with improved retention out of Modern Family of 62 percent.
On NBC, failing Animal Practice at 8 p.m. (sorry Crystal!) trailed year-ago occupant Up All Night (#4: 4.1/ 7 on 10/19/11) by 29 percent, while Guys With Kids at 8:30 p.m. was three percent above former occupant Whitney (3.1/ 5 on 10/19/11). At 9 p.m., Law & Order: SVU perked up to a 4.8/ 8 (#4), but that was down by 20 percent from year-ago occupant Harry's Law (6.0/ 9 on 10/19/11).
Moving to CBS, Survivor: Philippines dominated the 8 p.m. hour with a 7.2/11 in the overnights, which was three percent above Survivor: South Pacific on the year-ago evening (6.9/11 on 10/19/11). Next was Criminal Minds at a healthy 7.8/12 at 9 p.m., which won the hour overall in the metered markets, followed by aforementioned CSI at a first-place 7.3/12 at 10 p.m.
Finally, Fox filled the evening with a two-hour recap edition of The X Factor, which averaged a 4.5/ 7 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m.

When I switched from operating manual's suggested dexron iii atf to red line d4, my car's passing acceleration was much better than before. Although my mechanic recommends to change the atf every 10,000 to 15,000 miles for conventional oil, I checked with Red Line. They recommend to change my atf every 30,000 to 40,000 since their oil is all synthethic. This is worth every penny.

The major issue that I found extremely upsetting is that the company did not separate smokers/non smokers. I spent extra money for a balcony that went to waste because I was next to a group of chain smokers. When I called the front desk to ask if possibly i could be moved to another room, the receptionist was very rude, curt, and let me know that there was absolutely nothing they could do for me. She made the claim that the ship was completely booked so for the next 7 days I would be forced to enhale second hand smoke. I don't tolerate smoke when I'm at home and to be forced while on VACATION i found unacceptable. What More really irritated me though was that I later spoke with 2 other crew members who both informed me that the ship was NOT fully booked. I can not respect a company that lies to its customers and will certainly never reward that kind of behaviour.
The other issue was that the music from the night club could be heard in our cabin into the wee hours of the night. So much for a relaxing trip. Also when we arrived the coffee maker in our room was filty, sticky, and looked as it had not been cleaned in quite some time. I also found hair in my shower and a water bottle from, I guess, the previous occupants. Never did I meet out cabin steward and as a whole I did not find the staff to be very friendly or eager to meet your needs. Not to mention I took a survey after the cruise alerting them of the issues and no one bothered to respond or even apologize.
So I write this review as a warning to you all who are considering Pride of America. If you can, use any other line but NCL. They are only interested in taking your money and nothing else. The rooms are dirty, smoking is allowed in public areas, and the cabins are not sound proof so be prepared to hear the disco music until about 1-2am every night.
Also the food is sub par, Lazy J's steakhouse being among the worst. And it seemded that every time I turned around there was a pushy staff member trying to get me to spend even more money than I already had. Aviod this company at all cost!!!!!!!!!! Less

From the original Stephens brochure-
Spectacular 36 foot Stephens! This boat feels much larger than everything in its size. Here is an outstanding example of Stephens design: flush deck convenience for topside fun...astonishing space below, where master stateroom and salon, head, galley and forward cabin combine spacious with graciousness...welcome privacy, too. In all respects-including long-range cruising through extreme fuel capacity and power- she's the biggest 36-footer alfoat!

Go for the Green
I want you to read this book. Even if you already know about Garry Hoyts schemes for simplifying sailing, even if you have your own perspective on a timeline for solar-electric conversion, theres perspective here you need to consider.
Hoyts overview of the development of sailing, from a critical national technology to the backwaters and eddies of a rich mans sport, sets up a vision of sailing in the future that can lead and inspire. Sail, he observes, ranks right up there with the wheel as a vital link in human progress, because sail was the prime medium of discovery that opened up the modern world.
Livelier sail training, sailing rigs that might engage powerboaters (or at least the trawler contingent), speed thrills for kidsno wisp of the nautical imagination eludes Hoyt, who believes that sail remains a legacy of serious importance. That is why I take him seriously.

This intruder was supposedly shot four times with something called a ".12 gauge" shotgun :tongue:
Anyway, I am willing to bet it wasn't loaded with buckshot.
Clearly, the 12 gauge is inadequate for defensive use. After all, it doesn't start with a '4'....
This guy is a tool! He has a criminal past of multiple driving convictions, breaking and entering, larceny, aggravated assault and auto theft, but he was just "looking for a ride" inside another man's home. What a joke! He should be thanking God that the homeowner didn't load that 12 gauge with 00 Buckshot or he would be having a nice dirt nap.Quote:
"I don't think you can shoot someone who is unarmed," said Tisron, who has a long criminal record and got off parole in October from a third-offense drunken driving conviction. "I was probably there asking for a ride.
Tisron, 48, was staying at the Paris Motel. His criminal past includes multiple drunken driving convictions, breaking and entering, larceny, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and auto theft. "I've got long hair and tattoos and I just got off parole, so I'm the bad guy automatically," he said.
Ha, yea. Guy si far from the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Is it me, or does this guy look like the WWE's Undertaker? If I saw this guy standing in my hallway in the middle of night, I would be "trigger happy" too.
http://media.mlive.com/grpress/news_...4837-large.jpg http://www.officialpsds.com/images/t...r-psd39141.png
"TRIGGER HAPPY?" I was unaware that there were RULES that victims had to go buy when they are attacked by a burglar.:image035::image035:
12 Gauge? Low base #8's maybe. :ticking:
Exactly the type of guy who will try and sue the homeowner!
Trigger happy? He ain't seen trigger happy until he breaks in my house.
holy crap he DOES look like the Undertaker!
No birdshot...... 00 buckshot is for me.
After my own "failure drill" with a rabid coyote (first 2 shots with birdshot failed to stop a 50-pound dog), I would never select birdshot for home defense.
Its clear that although the old geezer cherished his 2a he had ZERO formal training on selecting the appropriate ballistics for his intended usage.
One of my fellow Sailors had to put an insurgent out of his miserable existence with a .12guage as he was charging around a clay formation. Lets just say I WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER doubt the power of a .00 Buck vs human flesh. And it still turns my stomach now remembering the sight.
I dont even use a shotty in SD. If a .45 +P 200grain Corbon cant stop someone then good God put me out of my misery for choosing the wrong round.
It's NOT the long hair and tattoos, stupid. :aargh4:Quote:
"I've got long hair and tattoos and I just got off parole, so I'm the bad guy automatically," he said.
Hmmm maybe birdshot wasn't his first choice, but rather what was handy at the time.

I totally want the Al Roker Cabbage Patch Kid.
Unfortunately, Roker's gonna cost me, because the CPK is part of a new eBay auction. Head here to see a hilarious collection of dolls made to resemble celebrities, including Steven Tyler, Katherine Heigl and Kristin Chenoweth.
Proceeds go to Children's Action Network (CAN), an adoption awareness organization "dedicated to finding homes for children in the U.S. who are in foster care."

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher has had a rough offseason, unable to appear in either of his team's preseason games and of course falling into the Friend Zone with Playboy cover model Jenny McCarthy.
Now, the Chicago Tribune is reporting that Urlacher traveled to Europe during the offseason and underwent the same procedure that Kobe Bryant and Alex Rodriguez had in order to help with knee issues.
The Tribune reports that Urlacher paid for the procedure, while another said the 34-year-old linebacker met with "that famous doctor everybody goes to."
That doctor would be Peter Wehling, based in Germany, who developed the Regenokine procedure, which has not been approved in the U.S. by the FDA. The Tribune ran a graphic that explains the procedure.
Urlacher injured his left knee during the 2011 regular-season finale, and had to miss all of the Bears' offseason workouts. He underwent an arthroscopic clean-up procedure in his knee on Aug. 14, but Wednesday refuted the claims that he had undergone the procedure in Europe.
"Heard about that. (Are) there any quotes from me in there?" Urlacher said. "Yeah, I didn't think there were any quotes from me, or anybody else."

don't race neon SRT4 turbo's
Last night was interesting. i was on my way home from work stopped at a red light turning left on to a main road. cars that are going straight on road that i am turning on have a red light too. just as my light turns green, dodge neon SRT4's light was red (obviously). did he slow down? nope. ran the light. next stop light we line up at, light turns green, pedal to the floor, i had about a 2 sec lead on him until he shifted into 3rd and i heard the hiss of his turbo and he pulled away from me. the f[eek]er ! now i really need a cai and cat back exhaust so i can have more of a chance.
The SRT-4's that I've seen are running deep into the 12's. I don't even try.
that wont be enough, u need a turbo of ur own
almost all SRT-4's will beat our cars, even some of the slowest run mid 14's. You need a pretty heavily modded fofo to give one a run for its money.
i gave them problems with bolt on and nitrous
if you think that just those 2 mods are gonna give them a run for there money maybe u should just stop driving. lol no j/k SRT's have a lot of power man unless your boosted or sucking on a bottle u cant match them in power at all
SRT-4s are beasts. I have a hard time hanging with a stock one, mod them and not many things will hang....they are sick.
funny....i dont have too much of a problem beating them.....
oh wait...yall have duratecs......my bad.....bwahahahahahaha
keep the racing on the track...
you'll win in 2 ways racing at a track.. 1... you'll save your life... the other racer's life and the on-lookers life... 2... the fofo will beat any srt-4 if you give it a few curves to carve while the rental car with a turbo slides all over the place.
and by track i mean road course not the 1/4

I like how the marshmallows in the first link are being sold by Discount Herbals.
a big COM-11718. :-)
Had to look it up, but it was worth it. That's adorable.
This product went live last Friday and sold out in about 3 minutes. Best of luck with the next one!
No public wish lists :(
