Anchor House riders pedal 500 miles

It's for the kids. Plain and simple. This is why the Anchor House Ride for Runaways participants ride their bikes almost 500 miles in a 7-day span from Lexington, Virginia to a warm welcoming celebration at Quaker Bridge Mall in Lawrence, making a difference with every mile and raising more than $517,000.
The annual ride, which first began 36 years ago, raises money for Anchor House, a shelter in Trenton for runaway and/or abused teenagers.
This year, seven participants hailed from Bordentown, each riding for a different reason and setting their own paces along the way.
Bordentown City resident Mikki Quinn, a 61-year-old grandmother and retired Trenton art teacher, saw firsthand what Anchor House has done for many of her students who needed a safe place to go to when in distress.
"I know the home situation that many of my students came from," Quinn said. "They knew that they were always welcome at Anchor House, even if it was just for counseling. No one is ever turned away. Lots of the teens may just be dealing with the typical angst. Some cases are much more serious, and DYFS needs to be called. No matter what the situation, Anchor House has been there for the kids day after day as the kids' safety net."
The ride began on July 13 after riders were transported to the Virginia starting point via buses from Arm and Hammer Stadium in Trenton. It ended on July 19, and for many of the riders, the ride was the best one yet.
This map shows the route the riders took through Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Quinn, who just finished her 12th ride, said the best part of this ride was the weather.
"The weather was absolutely beautiful the entire week," said Quinn, who most enjoyed the rolling hills and high corn fields of Amish Country in Lancaster. "There were areas that have been extremely hot, rainy, and just awful in the past, with water splattering up on us as we rode. This year though, the skies were clear and sunny, and the temperature was perfect. When I ride, I go at my own pace so that I can look around and breathe everything in. The ride becomes a part of my being—wake up, put on bike clothes, ride eight hours, shower, eat, sleep…repeat…for seven days."
The reason for this gift of wonderful weather? According to Quinn, it was because of Monsignor Rick Tofani—a friend of hers and of many of the other riders—who passed away recently.
"We all know that it was Rick who made sure that we would all have the best weather conditions on this ride," Quinn said. "On Wednesday, we all wore purple in memory of the riders whom we have lost over the years, and for our own personal losses. For me, I lost my mother this past year, so I felt that my mom and Monsignor Rick were riding with us."
Tom Csapo, Quinn's fiancé, drove his Chevy pick-up during the ride as one of the Rovers for his eighth year.
"After riding my bike for 15 years, I started driving to help everyone out," he said. "If someone has a flat tire that needs to be fixed, or someone needs to be picked up anywhere during the ride for any reason, needs a lift to the next site, or needs shelter due to an electrical storm, the Rovers are there for them. We will do anything, except deliver pizza."
Chrissy Brennan, a CPA and executive director of the Mercer County Bar Association and mother of son Tom, felt invigorated after completing her seventh ride this year.
"This was the most beautiful, perfect weather that any cyclist could want," Brennan said. "The ride was a very challenging 480 plus miles, with a lot of hills. But because we are a family of cyclists, supporting one another the entire week, it makes it much easier to complete."
Brennan, 51, heard about the ride years ago on WPST when she was growing up in Trenton. Though she left to live in Chicago, she eventually returned back to the area, set her roots in Bordentown, and was encouraged by a neighbor to do the ride.
"It is such a great, great charity," Brennan said. "Tom (Csapo), who is a very good friend of mine, encouraged me to do the ride. He knew that I had done some cycling for charity in London while attending graduate school there. I decided to do it, and have been riding with a wonderful group of women."
During the ride, Brennan ran into a bit of a problem with her bike. The support staff came by and was able to fix it, and then Paul Butterfield—one of the other Bordentown participants—and his fellow riders found Brennan and continued to ride with her the rest of the way.
Butterfield, a 57-year-old teacher at the Mercer High School for multiply handicapped children, has been a resident of Bordentown Township for many years. He just completed his 19th ride, after having to miss last year due to a scheduling change in his summer job.
"This year was like heaven for me," Butterfield said. "I started to ride because of a student of mine many years ago, who was homeless and who slept on the floor at the school. This is why I do this."
Butterfield met his wife, Barbara, at a ride 25 years ago. (There were four other couples who met their future spouses that year, too.)
"This past week, I rode with a couple that met 10 years ago, and are now married with kids, just like my wife and I and the other couples who met years ago this way," said Butterfield, who has a daughter Kaleen, a student at Rider University. "All of us who ride are like a family. We all help each other out. It doesn't matter who you are or what you are, everyone is part of the family. It is a tradition."
City resident Rebecca Busch started riding for Anchor House after she previously competed in several triathlons and found she enjoyed cycling. The 47-year-old mother of two has followed the articles about Anchor House, and said she always knew she wanted to become a part of it.
"I have met the most wonderful and amazing people through the ride," she said. "I have actually become extremely close friends with Chrissy Brennan, and she and I were roommates the week of the ride. Other than an 8-hour patch of scary rain, the rest of the trip was scenic with beautiful rolling hills. The people that we met along the way were really nice. We stopped at several churches where people supplied food and beverages for us. They were so kind and so gracious."
At age 46, Bordentown City resident Peter Downey, who works for Princeton Insurance company, just completed his 8th ride, one that he will always remember for the beautiful weather and the reconnection to all of the riders and support staff, who have become his friends over the years.
"When I was younger, my brother was working on a project for his Eagle Scout Badge and Anchor House was one of the places that showed up as a place to research," said Downey, who is also part of the Capital Singers of Trenton. "I thought at the time that Anchor House was a wonderful organization, and was reminded again some years later when I was at Quaker Bridge Mall during a welcome back ceremony. After that I knew I just had to do the ride. I have fallen in love with doing this every year. It is the most awesome thing I have ever done. I'm hooked."
The Rev. Mike Burns, 66, who will be celebrating his 24th year as a priest at St. Mary's in Bordentown, just completed his 19th ride.
"This year was wonderful and one of the best because the weather was favorable, and the ride was beautiful," he said. "We rode through woods and farmland with beautiful natural scenery. It was all very nice. When we came back, there were over 100 people welcoming us back as each individual rider had their name announced as they rode in on their bike. This ride is very important because there are so many children in crisis that don't come from loving, caring close families. Anchor House has changed many lives around, giving the kids of today hope."

"Whomever receives one such child in my name receives me" Mathew 18:5
I feel like this verse should printed on the header of every adoption paper ever made.
Not only does it stir the soul but it hones in on what humans are called to do:
be the face of unconditional love.
have the heart of Jesus.
This story begins with a family of 4.
The perfect family in every way.
Active, lovely, sweet, charming, and most of all kind.
I should know…i've gotten to see them every few years….
when you go through life and you've worked hard together.
made plans together.
build your dreams together.
when your cup is filled and runs over with a daughter and son.
a handsome, curious, and playful son (who by the way looks like a young brad pitt to me)
beautiful, smart daughter who is confident and observant.
so fun to see how these 2 have evolved over the years.
truly the epitome of being blessed.
even with their cup filled, this family has found room for another to love.
a darling, sweet, and utterly adorable little guy "Jo-Jo"…
(his face is blurred bc they are in the midst of fostering sweet baby boy.)
but he is scrumptious i can say.
although i positioned everyone where i wanted them for logistical & aesthetic purposes,
the looks of love are solely theirs.
this is something i can't stage or photoshop.
to teach your children unconditional love…
what on earth could be bigger than that?
especially in times like these with so much that is wrong in the world.
what you're doing is so big. so courageous.
not only in the act of teaching your children what unconditional love looks like
but also in giving hope to a tiny person who would have none otherwise.
I'm wishing & praying for the best for your family
Clint & Amy!

Recently, THIH sat down with Tommy Wells, who represents Zone 6 on the DC City Council. The conversation ranged from transportation and development, to crime and schools, and we look forward to continuing the conversation next month. See the posts from earlier in the week to learn more about the how these issues effect Capitol Hill. Today we will focus on crime, particularly crime committed by young people.
The first thing you learn about Tommy Wells when you visit his website is that he's a evangelist for livable, walkable communities, as discussed with THIH in an interview last week. But looking a bit deeper into his background shines some light on the approach he takes when thinking about crime on Capitol Hill.
Long before he joined the school board and then city council, Wells worked as a social worker, and eventually became the director of the DC Consortium for Child Welfare. To him, it's no surprise that in a city replete with students who don't finish school, there's a growing fear of crimes committed by minors. This reporter brought up the recent rash of burglaries in Hill East; carjackings; and the trends of young people mugging people of their electronics when leaving the Metro; and Wells explained youth offender laws often hinder the city in its ability to address the root issues.
Wells has formed a task force to do some problem solving around juvenile crime. He's aware neighbors have geographic sensitivities and preconceived notions about who's committing the crimes in our neighborhoods. During the annual spring mugging sprees in Hill East that seem to begin as soon as the robin chirps, this reporter often hears references to Potomac Gardens as a source of the majority local crime. The tales of "packs of kids who run off in the direction of Potomac Gardens" is well documented on the HillEast listserv.
Wells says that talk in the neighborhoods isn't totally accurate, and that police reports say between 35-50% of offenders are coming into Ward 6 from Wards 7 and 8, and from suburban Maryland. The key is, he says, to really know the facts about the arrests; and because the offenders are often under 18, the data is very difficult to obtain. Without that data, the police go into a reactive mode, and can't get ahead of the next crime. "We've been unable to get block or census tract data on convictions. We have a sense of who it is [committing these crimes], but we can't prove it because the police won't release the data." With that information, Wells says, police could better target criminals and direct social service resources.
Wells says there are federal laws in place which could make our communities safer but, again, due to the the age of the offenders, officials' hands are tied. Housing and Urban Development laws say that if a person living in subsidized housing is convicted of a crime, the entire family must move out. There are 17 public housing properties in Zone 6, according to the DC Housing Authority. Wells is frustrated by the age-related roadblock. "If the crimes are committed by children, no one knows, so it can't be enforced."
"We need to do something different," and the Council is rolling out new legislation that will allow the city to try some different approaches, Wells said. He knows from his professional background that much of the city's crime arises from social service issues, and better coordination between the schools, child protective services, and the police can not only help keep students in school, but also out of trouble. Wells said he is in disagreement with Mayor Fenty about how much truancy monitoring is needed before protective services steps in. Wells wants to see Washington follow a successful technique used in Minnesota to track school absences as the first line of attack for fighting crime. Wells wants to amend the current law to mandate that when a child hits ten unexcused absences from school, the school reaches out to child protective services. The law had been approved as such by the city council when Mayor Fenty changed the law to have a higher threshold of more absences, "so it's not as effective as intended," Wells said. "The goal is to have dramatically different outcomes for the kids," he said, and the coordination between the schools and CPS should promote young people to stay in schools as well as to help children who are in dangerous situations.
This reporter hopes to have a chance to talk with Wells again soon about other crimes on the Hill– in particular burglaries and the related small number of convictions. It would be helpful to find out more about the efficacy of community policing and foot (or Segway) patrols, and the success of focusing larger numbers of officers in specific neighborhoods for a short-term period.

Welcome to our freshly renovated 17th century farmhouse 'La Bottière' sprawled over 200m² living space and beautiful nature all around, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, one sitting-cum-dining room, a library with extra bed, a large kitchen and foyer.
La Bottière - a 17th Century farmhouse - is a gem, and won a national prize for renovation, for preserving old features and using historic techniques (e.g. lime mortar and paint). The house originally belonged to the nearby 11th Century Monastery of Bellelay that used to make the famous Tete de Moine cheese, and was later owned by a traditional Mennonite Family that lived a simply life without electricity and running hot water until we bought it 20 years ago. We took time for the renovation, which we largely did ourselves whenever we had free time.
La Bottière is part of a beautiful, extremely quiet hamlet, with 3 nice neighbours. It is right next to a nature reserve, a national bicycle trail, plenty of horse riding as well as berry and mushroom picking opportunities and rivers, lakes and pools inviting for a swim as well as small ski stations and dozens of kilometers of well-maintained cross-country skiing tracks.
Tilgang for gjester
You can use the full house minus the attic a locked workshop and one spare room. You will obviously be on your own (with handy assistance whenever needed).
La Bottière also has a spacious sitting area in front (lime stone plates) and in the back (lime gravel) with plenty of outside tables, chairs and two big umbrellas. There is an outside fireplace with firewood for grilling available. The house has a 3000m² garden and you can park up to three cars.
Interaksjon med Gjester
The farm house is managed by our neighbours, Scheideggers, a farming family living next door, who will be your host and are there to assist you whenever you need. Scheideggers are bilingual French and German speakers and do have basic English. You can also discuss with them additional services that you may need/wish, such as renting bikes, breakfast, visiting their farm and animals, pick-ups and drop-offs etc. They also sell milk, eggs and bred and other products directly off their farm.
Your children are welcome to visit Scheideggers' farm with cows, cats, a dog, rabbits, chicken and ducks.
Scheideggers also offer strawberry and raspberry fields for self-picking, from June to September.
Andre ting å merke seg
You can discuss with Scheideggers, your host, any additional services that you may wish to have - such as, breakfast, having your children play on their farm or help with berry picking or cleaning cow shed or feeding farm animals.
This is a non-smoking house!
The Canton of Bern has recently imposed a Tourist Tax of 2 Chf per adult and night and 0.5 Chf per Child. The host will ask you to pay this tax in cash before leaving. Thanks for your understanding.
The house offers you a lot of space for storing your personal things but also gives you things which help to make your stay comfortable and homely. You will find indoor and outdoor toys for kids, bicycle for rent, as well as a multi-lingual well-stocked library including maps and books of the area. Please put them back for next guests to also enjoy.
The house has central heating but you can still fire the old stove in the living room. There is also a fireplace outside.
You can bring pets but dogs will only be allowed in the entrance / foyer (photo 16) but not inside the main house.

text: Just Chris 142 Report post Posted November 11, 2005 I have created a simple Tetris Attack (or Panel De Pon) clone with SDL. With it I implemented the basic rules, now I've decided to take my game to the next level and make the gameplay flow more like an actual Tetris Attack. Particularly, how to make the blocks fall smoothly over a period of time. Right now, blocks that lie above empty spaces are 'flipped' instantly to that new location, whenever blocks below them disappear. The solution I have thought of is to add simple physics like those you would find in a platform game to detect collision and add some gravity. So after a block collides with another block, it stops falling. For this, I may have to add more parameters to each block than just assigning their color (the blocks are represented as a 1-D array or more specifically, a deque). Should I define the parameters of each block by using a structure, or should I use a class? I haven't done a platform game before so I don't have much of a clue as to how you should iterate each check for collision detection with many objects. I've done it with a small target shooting game but that only involved 5 objects at the most. So if there are 50 blocks on the screen does that mean that the program has to check 50 * 50 times? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My take on it is probably simple: * trunk should be in a releasable state * If there is some work which will break trunk or make it stable. Provided it is a finite amount of work with a known timeline for stabilization, I am ok to put it in trunk with optionally making a release just before introducing these changes * If there are more unknowns to the work, a branch would be more appropriate In this case, if we have some guarantees regarding hadoop-0.22 and the associated integration work, I would be ok for using trunk. But I would really prefer to get a release of bigtop out before that. Trunk has had a lot of improvements since 0.0.1 and we should make a release for hadoop 0.20.2 before jumping to the next version of hadoop. Thanks, Bruno

Author: Duncan
Avid reader for many years and online bookseller since 2007. Sci-fi fantasy fan for 30+ years. Books have long been my faithful companions and now I pursue that passion by trying to find them good homes.
Guest Author Beth Cato: Five Influences
Guest Author Beth Cato: Five Influences
Hello! I'm Beth Cato, author of The Clockwork Dagger duology and the in-progress Blood of Earth Trilogy from Harper Voyager. The first book in that series, Breath of Earth, came out last year, and Call of Fire is out on August 15th. Both of my series are classified as steampunk, which means they take basic Victorian and Edwardian historical elements and add some retro-futuristic twists, like airships and other fantastical elements. My books always mix in magic, too.
I'm known for mashing together genres in both my novels and short stories. I draw inspiration from all sorts of things, but there are five major sources that have had an undeniable influence on my work.
– Star Wars
I was born in 1980, and into a household that my older brother already had lined with stormtroopers. The Star Wars soundtrack record album was on constant play. There was never a time I did not know Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. In my writing, I love to cheer for the underdog. I love to see my bad guys have a shot at redemption. And yes, I enjoy a chance to play with the magic/the Force.
– Horses
I was horse-obsessed as a kid. I read every horse book in the library, and bought new and used books galore. I'd pick up anything with a horse on the cover. This helped me to read widely, from historical fiction to Serendipity fantasy books to the Black Stallion books. I took riding lessons for a few years but never had the chance to own a horse of my own. Even so, the love has never gone away. I often draw on my knowledge of horses in my current writing.
– Final Fantasy games
Role-playing games for the Nintendo and Super Nintendo were my gateway to fantasy literature in my teens. Games were like living books for me, and none snared me like Final Fantasy IV did (known as 2 in its original American release). I was 11 when it came out. That game was my world. I did artwork, fan fiction, everything. Within months, I had started writing a fantasy novel of my own.
– Laura Ingalls Wilder
I first picked up Wilder's books because of a horse on the cover. I soon found myself enthralled by Pa's fiddle and locust invasions and dire blizzards. Those books started a full-on historical fiction and nonfiction obsession that continues today. Steampunk involves a major historical element, and that's especially true with my current series set in an alternate 1906.
– Baking
Baking? Yes, really! Food is a huge part of world-building in my books. It's an important part of life, period. I maintain a food blog at BethCato.com and post a new recipe each Wednesday. I'm known for my decadent cookies and other baked goods. Such goodies are of vital importance in my new release, Call of Fire. How they are important? You'll need to read the book to find out… and if you want to nibble on some cookies as you read, drop by my site for some recipes!
In Memoriam and more
So I realized that I haven't posted yet this year. Things have been a bit hectic and I have struggled a bit with thinking of what I wanted to talk about.
Well for me, January ended up being a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand my wife Andrea won a scholarship to the Amazing SDSU Writer's Conference. A great opportunity for her to learn about the writing craft and an excuse for me to get away for a weekend vacation. She had a great conference and I got time away from the distractions of home and got a good bit of reading and relaxation in.
Sadly while we were enjoying our weekend in San Diego we were also losing a friend. Local author, friend, and first author guest blogger Alan Black died on January 21, 2017. Though I had only known him a few years, he was a fun and funny guy to be around. He was also one of my best and most encouraging authors to work with at local events. He appreciated that I took care of the money and taxes and let him concentrate on talking to his fans. As he said, he "Never met a good story I didn't want to tell." His lovely and equally wonderful wife and editor Duann Black has promised to take over and offer Alan's books at events. Far more eloquent people than I have said wonderful things about Alan and I agree with them all. He shall be greatly missed.
This was not to be the only personal loss I would suffer in January either. A long time and very dear friend went in for heart surgery and devastatingly never recovered. After several days of not responding well, her family had to make the decision to let her go. A friend who very much lived up to the friends are family for me, she too will be very greatly missed.
And finally after research, I've come to the conclusion that the only way I can raise the capital I need to acquire more inventory and make this website and blog into everything I'd like it to be is through crowdfunding. To this end I recently started a gofundme https://www.gofundme.com/duncans-books-and-more-expansion. If you would like to assist in my endeavor, know that anything is greatly appreciated. Please share it to your social media sites and anyone you think might be interested in helping a little bookstore to become a bit less tiny.
As always, thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts and I'll see you among the stacks.
Preorder available and More.
If you've read my past blog posts, you know I'm a fan and friend of the Alien Series by Gini Koch. Fast, fun and funny reads with a very engaging story line. Book 14 Alien Nation is set for release on December 6, 2016. If you're a fan of the series and not lucky enough to be able to catch Gini Koch at any of her signings but would love to have a signed paperback copy, I've got your hook up. I am taking preorders for signed copies of book 14 or orders for any of the previous 13 books. Best of all, you don't have to pay a mark up to get a signed and personalized copy just for you. Cover price plus shipping is all you pay. Want to order more than one book? I am happy to discuss quantity pricing for multiple books. Drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can discuss the details.
Next, I wanted to say welcome to everyone that follows this modest little blog. I hope you are enjoying these posts. I'm not naturally the most outgoing person, but I've found in recent years that I love talking books and entertainment with people. That said, blog format is still a bit of struggle for me. I really want to start a discussion here, but that requires more than just me typing out into the internet. I've opened up the comments, but will still intend to keep a watch out for spam and off topic responses. I want a civil friendly discussion. I welcome constructive feedback. Share your opinions about the topic at hand, but please remain respectful of everyone. Author, artist, game designer or other creative entertainment type? Have something related you'd like to share? Contact me and we can talk about guest posts. I'd love to bring more content of interest and help get the word out about what you do. Seriously, I'm just one guy here and trying to think interesting things to say and get them written has proven a bit daunting for me. Enjoying these posts, please let me know.
Lastly, I want to ask what else you'd like to see on this website. I'm currently planning to put a store front up where I could offer the books that I'm simply can't offer on sites that take a commission at the prices the megasellers offer. Books and such that can be found for $0.01 plus shipping. I could offer them here for $4-$5 with shipping and only have to pay a CC processor a much lower rate. Of course I already offer direct pricing for anything I have available with just an email of this is what I'm looking for, but I was thinking of seeing if I can make this little site a way to grow the business. I also envision an events page and maybe a way to help my amazing local authors more. I want to provide interesting and worthwhile content for those who take their time to visit.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading. Until next time.
See you among the stacks,
Duncan's Books and More looking forward
Another Thursday rolls around and I find myself even busier than I expected. I acquired lots of books to sort and list this week. Enough that I expect to be still working on them through next week. This of course push all thoughts of this week's post out of my mind. Consequently I have decided to give you an off the cuff post about my little business and some thoughts for what I'd like to do with my website moving forward.
I started off selling used books on Amazon in late 2007. I had been working for another online used bookseller for about a year and had decided I wanted to supplement that income with my own store. I started with about 300 books purchased from a coworker of my wife's. Over the years I've stretched my inventory to a few thousand books and expanded from Amazon to multiple online book sites and recently started up this little website and blog. I've also moved from selling exclusively used books to a small number of new books.
In 2014 at the request of the ever amazing Gini Koch I made the move into being an event bookseller. In this capacity I assist authors by providing required business and tax-licenses and cashier services, freeing them up to talk to fans about their books and concentrate on the pitch. I've gotten to work with some wonderful local authors and really enjoy this aspect of the business.
My next local event is fast approaching in November. I will once again be helping the wonderful authors of the Desert Rose RWA for the 11th annual Free Writer's Workshops. If you're in the Phoenix area Nov 5, come on out and check out this great free resource for aspiring writers at the Scottsdale Public Library. If you do be sure to stop my table in the author's signing area and let me know you read my blog.
As to the future plans for the website, I'm hoping to add more content in the near future. My thoughts include a page for local events I will be selling at or other events I think might be of interest. I would also like to add a store where you can purchase books from me directly. If you have something you'd like to see, feel free to let me know.
That's about it for this week. Thanks for reading.
Until next week, see you among the stacks.
Influential Books from my Childhood
I was thinking recently about some of the books I read growing up that I still feel the impact of today. I thought I'd share them with you.
Matthew Looney's Voyage to the Earth by Jerome Beatty Jr.
Matthew Looney's Voyage to the Earth tells the story of a boy living on the Moon who has always dreamed of space travel. Matthew is a typical Moon boy with a family, a pet, and a plan to fill a summer position at his father's work. That is, until his world turns upside down when he learns of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: the chance to be the cabin boy on a space expedition to the uninhabitable planet Earth.
I remember this a fun little series of children's books and certainly played into my early fascination with space.
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson.
This Newbery Medal-winning novel by bestselling author Katherine Paterson is a modern classic of friendship and loss. Jess Aarons has been practicing all summer so he can be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. And he almost is, until the new girl in school, Leslie Burke, outpaces him. The two become fast friends and spend most days in the woods behind Leslie's house, where they invent an enchanted land called Terabithia. One morning, Leslie goes to Terabithia without Jess and a tragedy occurs. It will take the love of his family and the strength that Leslie has given him for Jess to be able to deal with his grief. In addition to being a Newbery Medal winner, Bridge to Terabithia was also named an ALA Notable Children's Book and has become a touchstone of children's literature, as have many of Katherine Paterson's other novels.
This one has stuck with me largely because of the beautiful way it deals with friendship and tragedy. The times when I had few friends my imagination became a place of refuge. I also thought the movie adaptation was quite well done and loved getting to see into the world of Terabithia.
The Cay by Theodore Taylor
Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curaçao. War has always been a game to him, and he's eager to glimpse it firsthand–until the freighter he and his mother are traveling to the United States on is torpedoed.
When Phillip comes to, he is on a small raft in the middle of the sea. Besides Stew Cat, his only companion is an old West Indian, Timothy. Phillip remembers his mother's warning about black people: "They are different, and they live differently."
But by the time the castaways arrive on a small island, Phillip's head injury has made him blind and dependent on Timothy.
A required reading book in school, the themes of this beautiful story have stuck with me. I loved the transformation of Phillip in the story and the growth. I had forgotten the name of it until I acquired a library-bound copy earlier this year.
The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A McKillip.
Sixteen when a baby is brought to her to raise, Sybel has grown up on Eld Mountain. Her only playmates are the creatures of a fantastic menagerie called there by wizardry. Sybel has cared nothing for humans, until the baby awakens emotions previously unknown to her. And when Coren–the man who brought this child–returns, Sybel's world is again turned upside down.
One of my first YA books. I came across this book at a library that had a small section for YA books. I wonderful fantasy book that I still have fond memories of.
Feel free to share your thoughts or any books you read growing up that still effect you today.

Photo booth is a great addition that can help make parties more fun and engaging. With that being said, seeing them and using them over and over again can make these booths feel a bit stale. This is the reason why a number of individuals find the need to spice things up with their photo booth taking the necessary measures in order to make them fresh again. One of the different ways people are able to breathe fresh new life to their photo booth is by adding a few changes with how they look and function. Let us look at how you can revamp your photo booth to make them offer a complete new experience.
You will not be finding any shortage of photo booths in Raleigh, North Carolina, like http://www.raleighphotobooth.com, with them being made available on a regular day to day basis. With that being said, in order for them to stand out you will need to put extra effort in designing them. Adding new themes and settings will definitely go a long way in helping them feel more unique. A photo booth bus or van for instance, is something that you will not be finding regularly. This in turn helps your photo booth become distinct with your signature brand. Getting an empty bus or van requires a bit of an effort so you need to make sure that you work hand in hand with your photo booth rental company of choice in order to make this a possibility. The same can also be said with regards to themes such as a cosmic photo booth as it requires a lot of work with their background and props in order to work.
Input from your guests will also be greatly appreciated with how you design your photo booth. A number of event organizers today often start Bring Your Own Props campaign to their guests. This in turn makes guests feel more involved during the creation of their photos. Having their very own props increases the likelihood of producing unique and one of a kind photo making them well received. You can also save a fair amount of resources as there is little to no need to bring props any longer.
There is a lot of fun to be had when you start designing photo booth for your own. Consider the tips mentioned in this article and don't forget to get in touch with a photo booth company as you work together in creating them.
