It's that time of year again. The one where you get happy photos of cousins and nephews that you haven't seen in ages. Those are my favorite cards. Second are the ones that have the nice little letter in them telling of all the news that you may have missed throughout the year.
I have done both of those. Once I spent a long time writing a letter to all our family and friends and then translating it for our non-English speaking friends. It was a lot of work! And while it was awesome, I don't think I'll do that again. I just don't have the dedication anymore.
Photo cards are a different story all together. I love getting just the right shot to show everyone a little of the personalities that they don't get to see very often. I spend hours pouring over designs and layouts that would best fit our family dynamic that year. Are we outdoors and sporty this year, or classic and striped? (To be truthful I probably spend too much time on it.)
In past years we had debated over sending a true Christmas card, or a more generic holiday card. Even though we didn't want to insult anyone, we felt it was important to be true to our faith and send Christmas cards.. This is the time of the year that we celebrate the birth of our Christ and what He has done for us.
I've used Shutterfly before and I have made my own cards too. This year we are taking the easy way out! We will be using Shutterfly to create our 70+ Christmas Cards to send out. Yup more than 70! Thankfully Shutterfly has tons and tons of Holiday Cards to choose from. It's important that we have choices that reflect who we are. What the card says is just as important as what it looks like. It's nice to see such a large company having options that we can choose from.
I like these two because they are relatively simple to use. Just drop in your photos, your name and your off!
Also, in addition to these, there are a few options I found where they fit our theme, but you can put in your own text. I'm not sure if I want to think up our own text this year but I'm happy there is an option to do it.
This is an example of one that has a text box for you.
The final touch on our cards will be to pretty up the envelope too. They also have decorative address labels that you can put on the outside. I'm going to need the label to meet three things. 1. It has to coordinate with the card inside. 2. It' cannot be matchy matchy with the card inside, and 3. the leftovers need to be able to be used for everyday bills too.
This year we are going to take the easy route to designing our Christmas cards and I am super happy about it. Now to sit down and actually make a decision…

I needed to get
Eric was able to fit me in on a Saturday and the A+ team did a really thorough inspection of the car I was looking at buying. He walked me through a detailed report of the maintenance items that needed to be done (both routine adding fluids and changing air filters and bigger items like sidewall cracking on tires). I'd highly recommend A+ to anyone looking to get a used car inspected prior to purchasing it.
5 stars Barry Z Customer since 2010
Great service and honesty
5 stars Sarah & Ryan N Customer since 2017
I was referred to A+ by a friend, so I was prepared for a good experience, but the staff exceeded my expectations. Justin is probably the most friendly person I've ever spoken with, and was fantastic about communicating with me throughout the process. They were able to fit me in immediately, the repairs were completed quickly, and the price was absolutely fair. After such a great experience, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else, and have spread the word to several friends!

Excellent service always. Customer service is always attentive and any work to be done on car is fully explained. Invoices and work orders provided are details so you know exactly what was done with your car. Recommendations for work to be done is also accompanied by pictures so you know what the issue(s) might be. I highly recommend A+ Japanese Auto Repair!!

Japanese Auto Repair just continues to keep my 2003 Honda Accord EX running and looking like the the day it was purchased as a new car. Amazing.
1 stars Sanchay H Customer since 2016
I have a manual Miata and got my car serviced, new brakes and various fluids changed. Now when the car is cold, gears get extremely tight and sometimes get totally stuck. Once or twice it has been a safety hazard. I took it back to them once but they couldn't really diagnose the problem. I left the car overnight and they said it was all fine in the morning, when even I face the problem every morning. Never going there again. I would recommend any Miata owners to not go there.
5 stars Michael F Customer since 2017
If you are seeking a great service center for a Japanese make car I would highly recommend A+ Japanese Auto. I worked with service manager Naeem to get my 2007 Prius Gen ll running after Big O Tire botched a simple tire installation causing my whole dashboard to light up from the dreaded check engine, tire pressure warning light, etc, etc. They did this by running a scan on my car to check for error codes to justify recommending further work to be done on the vehicle (which in and of itself is illegal, they cannot perform unauthorized work on a vehicle). Back to A+ Japanese Auto. Working closely with Naeem they were able to get my Prius up and running and set me up with a maintenance plan that did not bankrupt me, while also ensuring that my car was being maintained and serviced per manufacturers recommendations. One very satisfied customer!

As always I was pleased with the thorough service, high level of communication and details about what was found / fixed. These guys never fail! I have been a very satisfied client for years. Highly recommend the shop to all.
5 stars Carrie P Customer since 2017
I couldn't have been happier with the service I received at A+. From the time i made my appointment to the time when I picked the car up the staff could not have been more professional. They were kind, prompt, efficient and took every measure to make sure my car was taken care of. I would highly recommend A+ auto to anyone!
5 stars Russell H Customer since 2016
Naeem has excellent customer service,and was very thurough with my questions. I finally feel like I can go to a shop I trust.
2 stars Edward O Customer since 2017
I dealt with Naem during my 1st visit to their shop. Friendly staff and efficient process. Reviews for this shop is amazing, and I feel that they are well deserved. Unfortunately, they didn't resolve my issue so I may just be the exception. $95 diagnostic sounds reasonable, but for the work they did to my '94 Miata, I felt it was steep. I had 2 issues (typed and bullet-pointed for their convenience) that I wanted looked into. 1st was a squealing I heard from my transmission during morning warm-up, when I engage the clutch pedal and when I put into gear. the 2nd was a buzzing sound I would hear while driving when reaching 3100RPM. they resolved the 2nd issue just by taking out the exhaust shield (now just a mild barely noticeable hum at 3100RPM). The 1st issue (the MORE concerning one) could not be replicated, so nothing could be done.
When i picked up my car after shop hours, the squealing was still there. Problem was NOT resolved. Logistics are difficult and an inconvenience when having to drop your car off at a shop. They do a great job at accommodating (i.e. shuttles, rental option, after hour drop off box, etc) But because it was an observed holiday, it felt like they were just really booked and looking to quickly fix a problem and get my car out of the shop.
There isn't too much to gripe about I guess, my car still runs. It doesn't appear to be a major mechanical issue YET. But if an odd sounds comes from your car, you would like some answers as to a cause. It's not my imagination. In any case, I may bring my car back in the future simply for their efficiency (shuttle, after hour drop off, etc), but not sure since my issue wasn't solved when I brought it to them the first time. Again, they are accommodating and suggested I bring the car back at 8am and test ride with them, but as I mentioned logistics and time is a problem. I left a voicemail requesting a weekend schedule or maybe after 5pm....no response. Oh well...On the bright side, they replaced my license plate light bulbs for free.

How Do You Run A Successful Crowdfunding Campaign?
What are the best ways to run a successful crowdfunding campaign?
All of my experience comes from running our TFC crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, so Ill just caveat that Ive only run one.
Some major lessons or must-knows when running a crowdfunding campaign
A lot of work happens upfront. From pre-committing donors, to selecting a platform, to building your email lists, to getting video and creative assets together. You need six to eight weeks minimum to do it correctly. Crowdfunding, especially the first time, is an incredible amount of work.
The platform you choose matters. Take time to really research which crowdfunding platform (Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Crowdrise, etc) is best.
Dont only talk to the teams there, but also talk to people who have run crowdfunding campaigns on that platform. Its sort of like selecting investors, you want to talk to people theyve backed that have been successful and those who havent. We certainly did this, but I wish we did more of it. We took certain things the platforms told us to be gospel and it turned out that was a mistake.
Lists, traffic, promotion. At the end of the day you need to commit the first 50% of your campaign goal on your own. The platforms will tell you 30%, but its 50%. This is your list. After that, when you look at which platform to choose, Id suggest ranking them by
a. How much traffic they get?
b. How much promotion they will give you?
How much traffic they get is far and away more important than the promotion because if they dont have an active base the promotion wont matter. You should also ask previous companies how valuable the promotion was.
Build in stories and promotion. Try to make every part of your campaign a story. From launching to the perks, to a donor that gave to you. Press will only cover launching and exceeding a goal so many times, so have stories to tell that arent just typical we launched and we exceeded goal.
Twitter is nice for hype,Facebook is good for donations. Twitter posting and sharing is nice for influencers and reporters to see your campaign, but as far as social networks go, it drives little in the way of donations. Facebook, is a much more effective and larger source of actual donations.

Here is a very brief breakdown of how to launch a Successful Crowdfunding Camapign:
Step 1. You need to have a product or service in mind, and a clear outcome of what the funding will provide. You need to choose a platform to launch your campaign on, for example, Reach, Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or GoFundMe.
Step 2. Research this could be the most important step in the entire process. You need to gather all of the info needed to create a successful campaign.
Step 3. Conduct your pre-launch campaign. You should have a pre-launch landing page, and social media pages built to gather information and market the launch of your campaign.
Step 4. Launch the campaign. When launching the campaign, be sure you have a Crowdfunding video created along with a detailed description of your product or service that you are going to offer.
Step 5. You are now running a Crowdfunding campaign. All of the research that you did in step 2 will be implemented and generate donations to your project.

I had the privilege of being a fellow for the Advanced Theological Studies Fellowship at Kampen Theological University, the Netherlands, this past month. The premise was simple: PhD students with accepted proposals would come together and live under the same roof and research for a month, at the end of which they would present their findings in front of an academic audience while a local specialist in that area of study provides a response. The program was a brainchild of James Eglinton's, my doctoral supervisor at Edinburgh.
I had a delightful time with the other fellows, each of whom studied different areas, from the patristics to Pierre Viret and the theme of suffering in Christ in the Pauline epistles. In my case, I presented on the question of Bavinck and critical realism, providing a close textual analysis between Bavinck and the German Idealist, Eduard von Hartmann. My respondent was Prof. George Harinck. It was an exceedingly fruitful experience.
My time there reinforces a thought that has lingered in my mind for the past two years living in Edinburgh. The conversations I had there with scholars engaged in significant research on various topics in theology further reinforced the conviction that a short conversation in person can bring greater clarity in a few minutes than months of merely reading the author's work. The delightful talks that I had with Aza Goudriaan, James K.A. Smith, Dolf te Velde, Henk van den Belt, Ad de Bruijne, and George Harinck, all gave me a clearer map of the scholarly field and their perspectives in a way that simply reading books could not, and recalls the various conversations I had with other practitioners in the past (not to mention a great boon and encouragement for my thesis on Bavinck). This further convinced me that it is essential to seek out the people with whom one engages academically in person. It may save months of confusion and, especially if we think we are actually disagreeing with them, could save us from caricaturing their positions in print. Disagreements tend to be stated more sharply on paper than when one is meeting someone face to face. It also reinforces my belief, therefore, that serious theological engagement and critique should definitely not be done in blogs, especially, again, as the person we critique can become abstracted as mere disembodied texts on pages or screens.
Irenic relationships fuel irenic scholarship.

Bloomsday in Melbourne needs to raise funds to mount annual Bloomsday (for theatres, publicity, insurance, costumes etc etc) and is committed to having fun doing this, and building community as we do it. We specialise in Irish or Irish-Australian plays, but sometimes venture into music or poetry. We also run courses. Typically, we mount plays (sometimes full performances as with A Stretch of the Imagination, our current offering, but sometimes as rehearsed readings). The list below will give you an idea of where we've been. Our past fundraising events have included:
Convicted on a Comma:The Trial of Roger Casement, an original play, written and directed by Brian Gillespie, 6 August 2016. More information…..
A Terrible Beauty, a dramatic poetry reading directed by Liam Gillespie on 15 April at the Celtic Club, and 11 June at Portarlington National Celtic Festival. More information….
The Plough and the Stars by Sean O'Casey, directed by Wayne Pearn as a Radio Play.
2.30pm and 7.30pm at the Celtic Club, Melbourne. More information…..

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Remember that with this build, Vlad will be very suceptable to early game dmg. Now you only start with 1 AP, sacrificing your runes and starting gold for survivability. It's therefor in your best interest to stay out of any immediate danger, atleast untill you reach lvl 9
Ok so what you need to do is:
Wait untill you get 1300gp, so you can portal back and get hold of+. If you have played your cards right, your opponent might think that you're too keen on farming. THIS is when you strike your first blow. Whether you get a kill or not, you should worry about gettingnext. Now you have your boots and you have some decent starting AP considering your MP. You try to stay in your lane for as long as possible, but if you feel too pressured, you might wanna getbefore completing. This will not only give you more HP + AP, but will also help you to hunt down your enemies. And we all know that no one escapes the Crimson Reaper. Next thing to get isfor maximum dmg output. Now we've established what I like to call ''The Base''. Theese items in that order are always non negotiable. Now it gets a bit more tricky. If you're ahead in the game at this stage, you should definitely go for, but if you're not, you should start to consider your defensive items. If you're playing against alot of caster and or hybrid classes, I would reccommendas your first defensive item followed by

i have a deep and abiding love of japanese kit kats. (this goes waaay back as this photo from 2005 will attest! (ok, those are from guam (and the amazing chotda!) but guam is still pacific island, yeah? and all the good flavors come from pacific islands.)
i'll admit that i went a little kitto katto nutzo while in tokyo. i'm not ashamed. i'm just concerned about how i'm going to make these last until i can get back to japan!
anyway, first up in the kit kat parade is a small bag of matcha and adzuki bean flavor! i LOVE these but leff was not exactly a fan.
no problem, it was a small bag which means that i got to eat them all myself! :D they kinda' look like weird peas, don't they?
the sakura matcha kit kats, however, we had to split evenly. oh my god, these are WONDERFUL with a very light cherry flavor that nicely balances out the matcha.
i also love the packaging but i am a big fan of pink/green combo.
the sakura matcha flavor went faaaaaast. and, if i'm honest, so did the raspberry variety. this is actually the second box of raspberry that we bought on our trip!
the minute that the tiny packet is opened, there is a lovely raspberry smell. the taste is nothing to scoff at either as it is so like the real fruit that you could almost trick yourself into thinking these are healthy.
another AMAZING version is the chili powder kit kat. these might be my absolute favorite of the entire bunch due to the wonderful dark chocolate and very slight burn of chili that really hits at the end.
this was one of the larger packages and i lovelovelove the packaging! and, fun fact! these are regional and specific to shinshu/shinano province/nagano prefecture!
wasabi kit kats are from the shinzuoka and kanto area (regional! :D) but they aren't as spicy as i would have thought they would be. they are still lovely with a great horseradishy ending and smooooooth as smooooth can be.
i dunno'! i might actually describe them as tasting "smokey light green" which is weird i suppose.
leff's favorite, hands down, is the tokyo rum raisin. it's odd because 1) he doesn't like rum 2) he's not really into very sweet things but he has been eating these like crazy!
i do not know how the kit kat chocolatiers were able to make chocolate taste like sweet alcoholic raisins but THEY DID. the smell is also intoxicating. (not really, they just smell nice, vaguely rummy and fruity.)
and now we make it to the bags of kit kats! i won't dwell too much on matcha kit kats as everyone who goes to japan brings back a bag or two or fifty of these. they are still wonderful, still grassy, still one of my standbys.
it's an oldie but goodie, amirite? (iamsorite)
but THESE. HOLY HELL KIT KATS MANUFACTURED TO BE BAKED IN YOUR TOASTER OVEN!!! i've read that these are the second version to be produced! (the first flavor was custard pudding which was released last year.) THESE THESE ARE CHEESECAKE
here are directions on the back.
and the adorable plaid wrappers!
we don't have a toaster oven so we placed them under the broiler. would it work?
why YES! IT WORKED!! just look at how bubbly they got after a few mintues! :D
and SO OISHII!!! THEY ACTUALLY TASTED OF CHEESECAKE!!!
(need more kit kat flavors? here are two more!)

Roane County sheriff's deputies used a Taser on a disorderly Kingston man Thursday after he ignored orders to get on the ground and instead cursed at the deputy who made the order.
Keith Bryan Jones, 50, 251 Woodland Drive, Kingston, was charged with resisting stop, frisk, halt, arrest or search; obstructing service of process; and domestic assault.
Deputies reported they responded to Woodland Drive on a call of a disorderly person damaging several vehicles and was in the yard with a baseball bat at the time of the call.
A home near the courthouse in Kingston caught on fire Wednesday night. No one was home at the time and no injuries were reported.
"There was smoke and flames in the attic area that penetrated and burned about a 6-foot hole in the roof," Kingston Fire Department Chief Willie Gordon said.
The fire was reported at 9:03 p.m. The first crew from the Kingston Fire Department arrived on scene about four minutes later.
"We left around 11:30 p.m.," Gordon said.
The Harriman Fire Department responded along with Kingston.
Rockwood 2000 will present Rockwood's Downtown Christmas on Dec. 1 on Homecoming Park.
This family event will be packed with holiday activities throughout the day.
Live holiday music will start at the park at 3:45 p.m.
Featured performers include Roane State carolers, the Evans Family Singers and Rockwood High School Band.
Along with the traditional yearly downtown Christmas tree lighting, horse-and-carriage rides will be available starting around 5 p.m.
Enrichment Federal Credit Union's Roane County Branch is embarking on the ninth year of the Gloves of Love campaign.
Offices in Kingston and Midtown are collecting gloves, hats and scarves for Roane County school children through Dec. 9.
Many children arrive at school without warm coverings for their heads and hands and the credit union is making it their mission to keep the children warm during the cold months of the year.
Tennessee is breaking records, and Roane County is in on the action.
September's unemployment rate was below 5 percent in every county across the state, according to the state's Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
It is, the Department reported, the first time the rate has ever been that low across the state.
Litigation over a property littered with debris landed an elderly Roane County woman in jail.
Helen Hayes was arrested on an attachment issued in the case.
Hayes, 67, owns property at 1812 Bluff Road. In 2015, the Roane County Commission voted to have County Attorney Greg Leffew file a lawsuit against her in Chancery Court for "continually allowing conditions of overgrown vegetation/accumulated debris," on her property.
According to court records, Hayes was ordered to bring her property into compliance and failed to do so.
Time is again drawing near for Operation REACH.
REACH, an acronym for Roane Enriches Another Child's Holiday, takes around 500 needy children Christmas shopping and then off to Rockwood High School to wrap their new gifts.
This year's event will be Friday and Saturday, Dec. 8-9.
"They spend about $225 a piece for them and their families," said Randy Ellis, REACH president.
For many it's the only time the children will get to shop like this for items like toys and other items.
The Kingston Police Department is undertaking an innovative program that will use social media to support various "watch" programs and improve communication with the community.
The effort will add value to the department's Neighborhood Watch, Elder Watch, Business Watch and Church Watch programs, said Kingston Police Chief Jim Washam.
"I don't know of any other department combining these four programs online," he said.
Budget Committee nominations usually pass with no opposition. That wasn't the case at Monday's Roane County Commission meeting, however.
The resolution nominating Commissioners Carolyn Granger, James Brummett, Steve Kelley and Darryl Meadows to the committee passed by a razor thin 8-7 vote.
"Everybody wants somebody from their district, but there's not enough districts to go around," Roane County Executive Ron Woody said.
Woody is chairman of the budget committee and makes the nominations that Commission approves.

The Thirteenth Tale ~ Diane Setterfield
Don't forget to enter my giveaway! I'll be announcing the winner on Friday!
Operation: catch up on blog posts commences. The Thirteenth Tale is one of those books that I vaguely intended to read for years, mostly because I see it all the time in bookstores and, well, exposure advertising - it's effective. I finally got around to it this semester when I was desperate for audiobooks to keep me conscious on the drive to my internship three times per week. It did the job - I didn't fall asleep at the wheel once - and I enjoyed most of it. In the end, though, I didn't love it nearly as much as my constant exposure to it suggested that I should.
So, Margaret Lea is the daughter of a bookseller and a reader and biographer of old dead writers who DOES NOT EVER read modern literature. She also had a conjoined twin who died in infancy after they were separated and a mom who never got over it. One day, this SUPER-FAMOUS modern writer, Vida Winter, invites Margaret to write her biography and it has ALL the (slightly anachronistic) drama. Vida Winter is also a twin and descended from some higher-up British not-quite royalty folks who got rather incestuous and mentally ill as time progressed. Vida and her twin were apparently horribly neglected as children, and she was wild and evil and her sister was stupid and gentle. Then Margaret meets a (big) friendly giant and secrets are revealed. Everyone dies in the past story and then there's a big twist! And then nearly everybody dies in the current story. I feel like this makes no sense.
So, in general I liked this book, particularly the bits about reading. The book is clearly meant to appeal to readerly-readers - not those casual folks who only read Twilight and Fifty Shades of Gray and then only do it because they don't have better plans for the evenings, but for those of us who consider reading to be a main activity in and of itself and who seek out obscure books and tell anecdotes about reading as children*. There were lots of quotes, particularly at the beginning, about reading that I totally identified with, particularly one point when Margaret is reading a book and starts getting anxious because she can feel that the right side of the book is getting awfully thin - I know that exact feeling and understood what her anxiety was before she explained it. So that was all well and good.
Then there's Vida Winter's backstory, which was relatively interesting and revealed the author's love for dark Victorian literature, except that it was hard to tell when the book was set so I wasn't sure if it was out of it's time. For the most part, that part was good too except for the over-the-top literary references (e.g. "A woman in white rose from the sofa" or some such obvious nonsense). The characters were mostly twisted but enjoyable and the whole time I was shouting for child protective services because 10-year olds should be able to talk for goodness' sake.
So the story's unfolding and it's vaguely mysterious but not enough so for me to be telling my husband my theories so that I could prove to him that I was right later on even though he never read it (yeah, I have issues) and then all of the sudden there is a GIANT TWIST that is clearly meant to make all the pieces fall into places except mostly I was just like, "Well. That's weird." I remember it kind of maybe very vaguely being hinted at before but not enough so for the big reveal to be anything more than a random turn. So that brought down the story a bit.
Overall, it was a good story, but not the modern-day Victorian classic that it wanted to be. As boring as it sounds, I would have preferred more of Margaret's readerly musings and less of the trying-too-hard subplot. But that's just me.
*When I was a kid, my mom would take me to run errands on the weekend. The first stop was always the bookstore, where I would get a new book, immediately bury my nose in it, and spend the rest of the day docilely following my mother around while reading. She never understood how I never tripped or fell down. And I have loads more of those stories. I'm sure you do too.
2 comments:
Things I love and books and book blogging: two people reading the same book and having different reactions. I was very meh on the book overall but I especially haaaated all of the Margaret scenes. Mostly because I haaaated Margaret. I wasn't in love with Vida's story either though the line about how the beginning of your life is really just the continuation of someone else's has stuck with me. Not sure why exactly.ReplyDeleteReplies
Another thing to love about book blogging: that two people can totally respect each other's different opinions and still have a conversation about it. (!)Delete
I actually didn't like Margaret all that much either, I just liked her musings on reading because I have the same musings.
That line is really compelling. We all think about our stories as being about ourselves (duh) but there are soooo many other factors, which is what makes them so interesting. She makes a great observation.

With just five days before Christmas, we finished making the wreath for the front door. Rather than pull out the wreaths we'd used in past years, we went with a more meaningful, closer to home theme. Earlier this month, on a day that felt more like Indian summer, my son and I cut long grape vine branches from the two grape vines in our backyard - vines that my grandfather planted more than 50 years ago, I'm sure. We stored them on the second floor of the garage until this morning when my … [Read more...]
Shopping at the Red Bird Market …
Last night, this was a busy place. Julie, who owns The Red Bird Market, wasn't standing behind the counter. She was hustling between the back office and the store aisles helping customers. The two guys behind the counter were busy ringing up sales. And, the customers - my son and myself among them, were wandering the aisles as we figured out what to put together for dinner. There were moms with young children in tow, a few 9-5 professional folks juggling boxes of freshly made pasta … [Read more...]

Everything Old Can Become New Again
Sometimes, everything that's old can be new again. Like this Christmas wreath. You'd never know from looking at it, that it is 30-plus years old. Really. My dad bought it Back In The Day.

After our parents died, that wreath became part of my inheritance. It showed up in the mail one … [Read more...]

Most marketers are familiar with the slogan that "sex sells", and try to apply it to any kind of product they can think of. The PSP market is no exception, and "sexy women" have been put into commercials for many games. However there have not been games that actually focus on erotic images. A few months ago, a company tried to release a pool game called Pocket Pool, that had a bunch of strippers playing billiards. That didn't go too well, but another company is trying again.
This time it is Maxim, the semi-erotic magazine that features scantly clad women on it's front page. They are looking for a publisher to work on a new game called "Maxim Pinball" that is billed as following:
"MAXIM PINBALL for the Sony PSP[TM] is a pick-up-and-play pinball title featuring the kind of content expected from any product bearing the Maxim name: babes, sports, gadgets, fantasies … whatever fits the lifestyle interests of today's young adult male."
My prediction? It will flop just like Pocket Pool. Gamers want to play good original games. No one will shell out $20-40 for a pinball game just because it has a babe in a bikini in the background. Since pinball is such a simple game, I wouldn't be surprised if there are many homebrew implementations available that available for download for free. Seriously, companies should focus on new original games that are fun to play, instead of creating junk that has the same content as a magazine that is much cheaper.

Recent college graduate Avery Andrews is ready to begin a new life in the big city. She's landed an apartment in Chicago's famed Lincoln Park neighborhood–and has her eye on the cute commodities trader just a floor above.
If Premier Airlines knew about her fear of flying, they never would have hired her to be their marketing assistant—but it's not like Avery wants a lifelong career. Right now she simply wants a job to pay her bills…and fund a few little shopping excursions, too.
Her new lifestyle comes with a price tag, as Avery is not only faced with paying a ridiculous rent but finds she's perceived as one of the vacant, husband-hunting fashionistas who live in the area. Avery resents this stereotype—so she doesn't want a lifelong career, and she loves fashions she can't afford, but that doesn't mean she is empty-headed and spoiled, does it?
When an opportunity to participate in a documentary at work arises, Avery finds a two-fold solution to her problems. She'll earn extra money for it, and the documentary will show her as a serious career woman, enabling her to shed that husband-hunting fashionista label for good.
When the camera is on, Avery attempts to be a motivated professional woman. But when she is challenged by Deacon Ryan, the videographer assigned to cover her story, Avery finds herself wanting things she was never supposed to want—like a lasting career—and Deacon. And Avery might just gain more from the experience than a perfect career image and extra cash to put in her Tory Burch wallet…
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Why Did I Read?
I pretty much will read anything and everything by Aven! I was also in the mood for a good, fun romance and I know that I can depend on Aven for that!
My Thoughts:
Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista is SUCH an amazing, fun, heartfelt romance! It read like a romantic comedy movie, like I could just visualize everything playing out in my head. It's the type of book you want to pick up for a relaxing Friday night read.
Firstly, Aven always writes amazing, career driven heroines and that is just something I love about her stories. Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista is no different. Avery is working for Premier Airlines as a marketing assistant and at first, this is just something she wants to be doing for now. Something to pay the bills and support her fashion habit. However, as the story unfolds, she is driven to want more and she finds herself enjoying what she's doing.
A big part of the reason she discovers these career aspirations is because of DEKE RYAN. Oh, and no, my hand did not slip and hit the caps lock button accidentally. DEKE RYAN deserves caps lock. So, Premier Airlines decide to do a documentary and Avery is chosen as someone they want to feature on the show. DEKE RYAN is the videographer on the project and DEKE RYAN is sexy. He wears funny vintage t-shirts featuring random things he likes, from bands to food to sports teams and he is smart, funny, sweet and an all around freaking amazing guy. (And, okay, fine, I'll stop it with the caps lock now.)
So Deke and Avery don't exactly hit it off at first because he thinks she's a shallow fashionista who doesn't care about anything else and Avery thinks Deke is uncultured and not someone she's supposed to like. I have to admit, at the very beginning I totally pegged Avery incorrectly too. So I loved getting to know her and seeing what she's really like. One of my favorite aspects of this book though? The fashion. I loved Avery's wardrobe. I want it. I need it. I solemnly swear that I will NOT go out on a shopping spree. (Major sad face.) But seriously, the fashion focus was so awesome. I loved the outfits that were pieced together and the little attentions to detail that just set the scenes so well.
The development of the romance was also so well paced. Nothing seemed rushed and the conversations between these two? Oh they are the BEST. I loved their growing relationship and rooted for them so hard. Another favorite aspect? No unnecessary angst or drama. I am so over cliched drama in romance plot lines. (By the way, you won't find that in any of Aven's books so go read all of them!)
In Short:
Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista is a light, fun romance featuring a strong, career driven heroine with a fashion sense and wardrobe you will pine after! This is the absolute perfect romance to read if you are looking to settle in for a relaxing night. Trust me, you do not want to miss out on meeting DEKE RYAN. Plus, a fantastic storyline to boot! What are you waiting for! Go forth and read!
My Rating:
So it's been awhile since I've done this so a refresher as to what this is: I pair certain candles with books! Usually this is something that I think fits with the book. I have a TON of candles and almost always have one burning. And this is Book Scents! 🙂
This is Champagne Toast from Bath & Body Works. It smells SO good! It is light, refreshing and citrus-y. It reminded me of what I imagine Avery's perfume to smell like. Once you read, you'll notice that a citrus scent runs throughout the book, too. 🙂

Art tours with Dr. Smadar Sheffi (smadarsheffi.com) offer an inside access to Israel's art scene on a custom designed private tour. The tours are in Galleries, Museums, alternative spaces, studios and workshops of leading and emerging artists mainly in Tel – Aviv and Jerusalem.
The tours are for colleagues, friends and family who have an interest in art budding or cultivated, committed art lovers and collectors who are considering buying art.
For Collectors visits to private show rooms may be arranged as well.
A visit to Michal Rovner's studio-workshop in a village between TLV and Jerusalem is possible as well; if the stay of the guests corresponds with the periods she spends in Israel. Rovner is a leading international artist represented by Pace Gallery NYC and the visit is a moving experience. (http://www.pacegallery.com/artists/405/michal-rovner)
Some tour elements that may be of special interest:
Political art in Israel
Art by religious Jewish Artists
Photography and video
Contemporary figurative painting
Feminist issues in Israeli art
Sample of Art tours itinerary
|Standard tour would be a circa three hour tour (from leaving of hotel until returning to it) and include three gallery shows and one or two studio visits. The tour is planned so that the stops will be within short walking distance (in some cases a short drive) of each other- time is used in full and participants get a feel of Tel- Aviv. Questions and conversation are encouraged!
Tel – Aviv
South Tel – Aviv:
The area has changed dramatically from industrial-no-man's-land to a hub of contemporary art Galleries studios and alternative spaces that still maintain a rough edge and are home to plenty of Graffiti. Outside-the-box projects guarantee that tours include a lively mix of unconventional artwork and unique spaces.
The itinerary will include a range of galleries selected to orient to an energizing mix of artwork in different media and a studio visit will be in one of the former warehouses or small factories –some of the spaces boost their architectural style as well as art.
Rothschild Boulevard and adjunct streets:
The charming area is home to some of Israel's more established galleries often hosting must-see exhibitions. Tour would be composed of galleries and studios
In one of Tel Aviv's beautifully renovated quarters. In the tour we will gaze up and talk about the buildings and architects ranging from early Tel Aviv eclectic style, through the International style and up to contemporary high raisers revolutionizing Tel Aviv's sky line
Much more than just the Israel Museum!
Jerusalem – Studio visits tour will give an authentic contemporary feel of Jerusalem.
Visits are to established and emerging artists and go from a stunning chic studio in the very centre of town to the rough industrial area in Talpiot and the residential neighborhood Gilo.The plethora of art: from cutting edge contemporary art to figurative art.
Jerusalem – Gallery tour
Galleries and alternative art spaces in some of Jerusalem's most charming off the tour-map places: from a galleries representing fine Figurative painting in a private residence in the German Colony to a cool contemporary Cooperative Gallery a minute walk from the Machne Yehuda market and a gallery in the a hub of artist studios in industrial area in Talpiot . Visit's to the Jerusalem's Artist house and Jerusalem's print centre , both in beautiful historical buildings are most recommended and can be part of the itinerary
Museums in Israel
This is for those who prefer to skip the wall texts and audio guides and immerse in Israeli museums art treasures with a knowledgeable and personable guide. Museum tours are an informal and informative way to experience highlights of the city's museums, whether the latest temporary exhibitions or explore permanent museum collections to get an in depth picture of the history of Israeli Art, a wonderful key to understanding Israel's complex social and political issues .The Tour is a chance to not just see the art, but to understand it in context
Museums in greater Tel-Aviv:
The Tel Aviv museum of Art
Herzliya museum of contemporary art
The Petach Tikva Museum of Art
The Israel Museum
Art in the Galilee (over night)
A fascinating eye opener tour: visits to art initiatives in Kibbutzim from the beautiful Kupferman Collection in Kibbutz Lohamei HaGetaot, to stunning studios in the ecological Village Klil, historical Rosh Pina and museums in Teffen, Tel Hai and more.
We won't miss the Cemetery in Tel Hai with its iconic memorial statue of a roaring lion, a stroll in pastoral Metula and a drive on the scenic root just near the Lebanon border on the way to an art and Judica collection in a Baram. The people you will meet, the stories of immigration and passion for art will give a new dimension to the Israeli story as you know it.

Growing up among a bunch of creepy Mormons in Salt Lake City, doesn't entitle one to many bragging rights, but at least there's this: The snow there is awesome. Or so I hear, anyway, from friends and family members who ski and snowboard the shit out of Utah's kazillion canyons. I've never skied or snowboarded, myself; equipment was too expensive, and in the late '80s, when I wanted to pick up the sport, elitist skiers were still shunning snowboarding. Back then, snowboarding was dangerous, weird, and unusual; now, like skateboarding before it, the sport's become a staid, boring institution dependent upon corporate sponsorship.
At least, that's the impression one gleans from Christopher J. Scott's fantastically dull Snow Blind, an unfocused doc that attempts to cover every aspect of snowboarding and ends up covering none of them. Interviewing everyone from dumb teens on the mountain to dumb magnates of snowboarding companies, Scott's film eschews boarding footage for talking heads, and is so meandering that entire segments could be dropped. (Snow Blind's an hour and a half long; a good editor would have sliced it down to a quarter of that.) Most subjects Scott interviews have little to offer other than weak, surfing-inspired clichés about how "the jump is sacred," and then there's the clunky section on snowboarders with disabilities, or Scott's half-assed history of boarding. But the one unforgivable fault here is that there's so little actual snowboarding footage.
That said, there are a few cool parts—like the film's profile of "Banana George" Blair, a 91-year-old dude who spends his days snowboarding and/or barefoot waterskiing, or the section on 19-year-old gold medalist Hannah Teter. But then again, Banana George is kind of a novelty act, and Teter was featured—far more prominently, and alongside such great boarders as Shaun White and Shawn Farmer—in last year's First Descent, which paired truly jaw-dropping boarding footage with interviews that didn't make the audience roll their eyes. If you've got a jones for some snowboarding action, skip Snow Blind and watch First Descent. Well, that, or go to Utah. I'm going to recommend the former.

Mackay council gets $36m funding to fix damaged roads
The Mackay Regional Council has received one of the largest Queensland Government payments to help repair flood damaged roads in the north.
The council will receive more than $36 million to repair pavement and submergence damage to 158 roads.
The damage occurred from rainfall associated with cyclones Ellie and Charlotte last year.
Mayor Col Meng says council is still adding up the cost of the damage from cyclone Ului earlier this year.
He says the road network has suffered with three significant rain events in a row.
"Here's hoping that later this year and next year that we don't see these events," he said.
"We just have to work at it and I know people say to us all the time, 'well this isn't fair, our roads don't get done'.
"But when you have the amount of weather conditions that we've had in recent years it is very hard to keep up there, never mind keeping ahead of it."

The New York Times bestselling hockey series featuring the Carolina Cold Fury continues as the team's most notorious party animal gets blindsided by the one that got away.
Off the ice, elite defenseman Hawke Therrien enjoys his fair share of booze and good times. And why shouldn't he? He's worked his way up from the minor leagues and made himself a star. The only thing Hawke misses from that life is the pierced, tattooed free spirit who broke his heart without so much as an explanation. She's almost unrecognizable when she walks back into his life seven years later—except for the look in her eyes that feels like a punch to the gut.
Vale Campbell isn't the same girl she was at twenty. As crazy as she was about Hawke, her reckless behavior and out-of-control drinking were starting to scare her. She had to clean up her act, and that would never happen with Hawke around. Cutting him loose was the hardest thing Vale ever had to do—until now. Because she's still crazy about Hawke. And if he could ever learn to forgive her, they just might have a future together.

Every once in a while you read a book that just feels perfect. It's exactly what you're looking for at exactly the right time and it just ticks all your boxes and gives you that warm satisfied sense of peace. I don't know if I was jonesing for a GREAT sports book or a WONDERFUL romance or an AMAZING new book boyfriend…..but I definitely got all three.
I've read all of the Cold Fury books and I've enjoyed them all, but let's be honest…we all have our favorites. I have friends who love Alex and others who love Garrett and one or two that fell for Ryker. But mine has always been Zack, then again I'm a sucker for a little heartbreak (OK a lot of heartbreak in that one). This book however…this one really made me question my loyalty to poor Zack because Hawke is freaking amazing. I simply adored him. I loved how he handles things, I loved who he is as a man, I loved his sense of humor….I just LOVED him. I have to admit, I was skeptical about them bringing in a brand new Cold Fury player, but I can acknowledge when I'm wrong. I was SO wrong.
Vale is a pretty awesome character too. She's strong and determined and independent. I completely understood and believed her struggle to be a grown up, to do the right thing and to navigate her way through a lot of confusing and upsetting thing that have been thrown her way. There were times I wanted to grab her shoulders and shake her and times I wanted to cry for her and tell her it was going to be ok.
God, I just can't get enough of good second chance romances and this is one of my favorites. This book is just so heartfelt, at times both incredibly sad and remarkable uplifting. I have never wanted to believe in true love and meant to be more. Sawyer Bennett just got everything right in this one.
