text: You all know there are Hello Kitty inspired cafes, but you will be surprised to hear you can now feast on amazingly cute looking dumplings, steamed buns and Chinese pastries in the world's first Hello Kitty Dim Sum Restaurant in Hong Kong. We found many pictures on L.A. times online and culture blogs, showing that just like the little white cat, the traditional Southern Chinese dish has become increasingly popular around the world in recent years. In particular in Hong Kong the original dim sum houses are a weekly ritual family meal, usually taken on weekend mornings. For Hello Kitty fans and lovers of Asian cuisine alike, there could hardly be a better way to spend a Sunday morning than a table of delicious steamed buns and tea with friends and family. The only challenge remaining is, the food nearly looks too cute to eat.

text: Anything but a one-trick pony, Tang offers not only math concepts in his latest collection of verse, but natural history, challenging vocabulary, wordplay and wisdom to boot. Going from one (male, pregnant) seahorse to ten seagulls, animals in each poem combine and recombine in different groupings to, usually, hunt—"1 bat flew off into the sky / to hear what he could find. / 6 others followed after him / a flap or two behind"—using natural attributes and, in several cases, tools, too. In Morley's brightly colored, artfully composed natural scenes, the animals are accurately rendered and their groups clearly differentiated; even younger children will have no trouble counting them and seeing how they add together. That the poems also have titles like "The Sound and the Furry," use words like "camouflaged" and end, as fables should, in Lessons ("All 6 were feeling quite content / with food enough for each. / They know that aiming high in life / leaves nothing out of reach!") adds enough nuance and content to reward any number of subsequent re-readings. A seamless blend of pleasure and purpose sandwiched between an introduction for adults and a closing page of recapitulated science facts. (Nonfiction poetry. 4-7)

It has long been known that when days become shorter many individuals experience a form of depression called Season Affective Disorder, or SAD. In this Searching for Solutions report, Paul Sisco reports on one method of dealing with the disorder some call "winter blues."
As summer turns to fall, then winter, and the days get shorter, many creatures migrate to warmer, sunnier climates, while some hibernate. Most people do not have those options. And for some, those diagnosed with SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, the coming of winter disrupts sleep, diet, and mood.
"Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression that roughly affects one in four people, and it is basically caused by the shortness of daylight hours," explains Neal Owens about his own experience with SAD.
In the 1980s, Owens took part in the first clinical studies on Seasonal Affective Disorder at the National Institutes of Health, outside Washington. He says, "As the days get shorter, there are marked seasonal changes in brain chemistry, and researchers now know that when the days get shorter we have a lower amount of serotonin, which is a nerve messenger chemical responsible for our moods, productivity, our sex drive, our eating habits, and when the days get shorter," he continued, "we have more melatonin and less serotonin, and that's what causes the problems in people that suffer from SAD."
Light therapy is often beneficial for those with the disorder, and Owens started the 'Sunbox' company to provide it. "The treatment has been relatively simple: basically you are using artificial bright light to fool your brain," he said.
They assemble and market a variety of unique light therapy products for SAD sufferers.
"Using artificial bright light 15 to 20 times brighter than normal ... home or office lighting, can boost serotonin levels in the brain," Owens explained. "So really by using a 'Sunbox' box light box, you can actually pretend it's a nice summer day outdoors."
Many users and therapists confirm that light therapy is an effective treatment for SAD. Many users say they feel better within days of giving it a try.

Product Details
X-Bionic Summer Light Leg Warmer
These leg warmers are comfortable to wear in summer, they protect you from harmful rays and they deliver the fatigue-reducing benefits of compression.
- Like any legwarmer, X-Bionic's keep you warmer when you ride in shorts when it's chilly
- Manufactured in superfine yarns these legwarmers remain comfortable to wear once you warm up
- Air-Conditioning Channel - this is a ventilation system that channels air through the garment to prevent overheating
- AirConditioningSpot - a fine, circular knitted fabric behind the knee facilitates perspiration without the risk of chilling
- X-Bionic Summer leg warmers deliver the fatigue-reducing benefits of compression, proven by X-Bionic socks
- The fabric is seamless, not just for comfort, but to enable more uniform compression
- Fabric: 80% Skin NODOR® Polyamide, 10% Mythlan™ Polypropylene, 10% Elastane
- Machine wash at 40 degrees C
- ExpansionRib Knees - the legwarmers' knees are knitted in a ribbed fabric that folds like an accordion's bellows to maintain insulation and to maximise freedom of movement.
Here's how X-Bionic describe ExpansionRibs
'The problem
Knees and elbows can bend up to 160 degrees. However, most textiles can't withstand this stress without being pulled thin and, hence, resulting in a loss of functional insulation.
The solution
X-BIONIC ExpansionRib Knees - the knitted fabric folds apart based on the accordion principle, insuring that cold doesn't cool down these sensitive body parts. Even when sharply bent, the insulating effect is maintained. The flexibility of the ExpansionRibs™ and the elasticity of the yarn allow a frictionless freedom of movement. Even sports with continuous arm and leg movement, such as Nordic Walking, produce no symptoms of musculature exhaustion from the movement of the ExpansionRibs™.'
Swiss engineered: Italian made
With over 200 design patents to their name, X-Bionic make a strong claim to being the most scientifically advanced manufacturer of sports clothing. Every X-Bionic garment is designed and developed in Switzerland, then it's manufactured in Italy, the country that remains the home of classic bike wear.

Sooner or later the rain was bound to fall and cause the postponement of one of my games. Narrowly, I had escaped cancellation in several cities during the previous weeks. A torrential storm in Charleston had swamped the field in April and threatened cancellation of the game. A steady, soft rain for a couple of innings in Lexington hadn't interrupted play. The thunderstorms in Winston-Salem and Durham delayed the start of their games. And the night before Potomac's deluge, rain had complicated matters in Richmond. Yet each of those games proceeded.
|Inflated Uncle Sam appeals to the heavens to prevent rain.
|Even with skies beginning to clear, the infield remained covered.
|Left-field could have been a splashing pool attraction for children.
The game would have pitted two last-place teams in the Carolina League. Potomac sat at the bottom of the Northern Division with a 28-39 record, and Salem had slumped to the bottom of the Southern Division with a 30 wins and 37 losses. The good news about the evening was that neither team would sink farther, that is, unless they waded in the puddles on the field.
As recently as mid-afternoon in northern Virginia, no rain-storms had appeared on radar, but at 6:03 an intense, an isolated storm erupted. Lightening cracked and thunder rolled. A strong cell had developed southwest of the ballpark around 5 o'clock and seemed to have targeted the municipal recreational ballpark in Woodbridge for a downpour. Because the field doesn't drain well, a short shower can cause a game to be cancelled. A few days later when I sang in Frederick, Maryland, I learned from one of the staffers that the field conditions in Woodbridge are so challenging that Potomac sometimes must play its home games in Frederick.
The field remained covered in hopes of the storm being merely a passing shower, but a deluge ensued for 45 minutes. An odd thing: At 6:30 I learned of the postponement of the game and phoned Bonnie, who was en route to the ballpark with one of her friends. Although they were only four miles away, they were shocked since it wasn't raining on their car. So too was Ann Linder, a friend from Chicago. For months, she had planned to synchronize her visit with family in the Washington area with the time that Bonnie and I would be there. Having paid the parking fee minutes before receiving my phone call, she and her entourage of cousins and nephews could hardly believe that the game had been cancelled since the skies had begun to clear.
Despite Potomac's losing record, the list of its recent alumni is impressive, featuring National League MVP first basemen Albert Pujols of St. Louis and Joey Votto of Cincinnati. I had wanted to see who would now be playing first for the team--perhaps the NL MVP for 2020. Although I didn't get to see the game, I did get the anticipated line-ups presented by Meredith and Shelby, two of the Nationals' staffers.
|Meredith and Shelby display the line-ups.

After just one year on the job, La Cañada High School 9/12 Principal Audra Pittman is stepping down.
Pittman will leave La Cañada at the end of the school year to accept a position as a secondary instructional coordinator with the San Mateo County Office of Education, district officials announced last week.
"It is a promotion," Pittman said. "It is an opportunity that I really couldn't pass up."
The news came just weeks after LCHS 9/12 Assistant Principal Kevin Buchanan and Athletic Director Tamar Hill said they would leave their respective positions, Buchanan to assume the principalship at Oak Park High School and Hill to focus on teaching and coaching at LCHS.
In addition, it triggered a series of internal personnel changes that, if approved next month by the school board, will further alter an already shifting administrative landscape.
Slotted to replace Pittman is Dr. Jacqueline Luzak, principal of LCHS 7/8. Luzak in turn, is to be replaced by Anais Wenn, principal of Palm Crest Elementary School.

To Hadley and Mason,
I want to start off saying that you are loved. Such seemingly simply words but they hold so much power. I urge you to never forget that because there may come a time where you feel the complete opposite. Personalities may flare up, we may butt heads and you may feel alone, but remember you are not. You have an entire village that supports you and an all-encompassing God to hold you.
Your life matters, and so does others. Be kind and compassionate. Those are the greatest gifts you can offer to those you come in contact with on a daily basis. Let people know that you care and are invested. Listen and be present. We live in a busy world with lots of distractions and we are losing the gift of being present. I urge you both to slow down and just be available, to open your ears and close your mouth, and really hear what someone is saying, not only with their mouth but by their actions.
Be you, not the person you think others see, but what you feel in your heart. You are unique and gifted in your own ways. Don't follow because it's the thing to do. Embrace who you are. This can come with its challenges and can be downright difficult but the outcome in discovering and understanding your self will be well worth it.
Laugh often and smile frequently. Laughter is so good for your heart and soul. Find joy in the simplest of tasks and share that joy with others. I hope each day you are able to see the bits of gratitude within your life. Some days might seem darker than others where you struggle to see the blessings but I promise you they are there in the smallest of details.

When #SOYEAHDUH went live last month, it wasn't long before the Chicago-centric Tumblr blog, which riffs on city life through the use of animated .gifs, to rack up the likes, reblogs and speculation: Who was the wizard behind the curtain?
Wonder no further, Chicago: Lisa Frame, the woman behind the anonymous .gifs, has graciously granted her exclusive reveal interview to us here at HuffPost.
Frame, a 28-year-old digital strategist, producer and founder of the social networking site Mugshot-Monday.com, has called Chicago home for the past 10 years and lived in the city's Wicker Park neighborhood for the last eight — which explains her adept takes on certain neighborhood hotspots and favoring of a particular CTA train line.
Lisa Frame calls her SoYeahDuh Tumblr "the dumbest blog ever." But apparently a good dose of dumb can go a long way.
Frame, a digital director and consultant, initially launched her Tumblr in mid-May as an homage to the other .gif blogs out there, and the premise is simple — the animated .gif files describe her every day Chicago experiences, mainly in the Wicker Park, Logan Square and River North neighborhoods and covers everything from dating, to restaurants to inside jokes that only Chicagoans would get.
We're turnin' the tables, folks! It's a little jolt of creativity for your Monday morning. And we've got major Site Crush love for Mugshot Monday—how apropos, right?! The concept is simple. Uber-creative Lisa Frame has two loves: coffee and people. READ MORE.
Mugshot Monday, is a rad blog profiling interesting people with their favorite coffee mugs…
Chicago's Hottest 30 Under 30:
Lisa Frame, 27, Digital Producer and Community Manager
She's the woman behind the wheel at Mugshot Monday, bringing successful creatives together in the world's cutest network. Check out her blog to see what we mean, then submit your own mug. When she's not blogging, she's running the show at Abe's Market, a local organic online shop dealing in all things green. Easy on the eyes and successful? Not bad, Frame. Not bad.

A movie memorabilia Winchester rifle used by John Wayne in THE MAN THAT SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE and a shotgun rifle used by William Holden in THE WILD BUNCH were recovered after a Summertime theft from Movie Madness. Movie Madness is a Portland, Oregon area video store and movie memorabilia museum. The guns were stolen after a customer was able to break open a glass display case and slip out the door with the two stolen rifles, which were both said to be worth considerable amounts of money. The owner of the business, Mike Clark considered both items to be lost forever. But, video surveillance tapes did record images of the crook leaving with the stolen items.
This week, in a strange story, another man who claimed to find both guns up at Mt. Tabor park in a black plastic bag returned the guns to Movie Madness, claiming that he knew what they were and that they belonged to the store.
Police identified the man who stole the valuable movie guns, but so far he has avoided arrest.
Owner of Movie Madness, Mike Clark is very grateful that the priceless stolen weapons were recovered.
Movie Madness has a museum of some of the greatest movie props of all time including priceless dresses and props from famous movies such as PULP FICTION, ALIENS, BONNIE & CLYDE, THE WIZARD OF OZ, PSYCHO, THE TIME MACHINE, CITIZEN KANE and many other films. Just recently, Movie Madness added a full scale model of Lon Chaney Sr.'s head from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. One of the managers of Movie Madness has a friend who is a Portland area artist who does work on resin models he provides for the combination video store and movie museum. In addition to the actual props and costumes used in many famous films, Movie Madness has a huge display of these carefully hand-painted very small production resin models of monsters, aliens and other creatures from horror and science fiction films.

My impression is that VMs designed with this idea in mind have many
special-purpose VM instructions and their interpreters tend to be slow
on general-purpose code. I have the following explanations for that:
- Since the idea is that the individual VM instructions do so much
work that the interpretive overhead does not matter much, the
implementer does not put as much effort into reducing the overhead per
instruction (after all, he needs to optimize all those important
special-purpose instructions, too).
- Some of the issues in interpreter efficiency also work out
differently: E.g., the fastest interpreters typically put all the code
for all VM instructions in one big C function, which is not considered
good style in general. In particular, if the VM consists of 200
simple VM instructions, each with 1-3 lines of code, and the speedup
is large, one is usually willing to follow this practice; but if the
VM consists of 500 mostly special-purpose VM instructions, each with
20-100 lines of code, and the speedup is small on many
(special-purpose) benchmarks, the implementor will probably not put
them in a single function.
- The special-purpose VM instructions may put some burden on the VM
that has to be paid by other instructions as well, e.g., state that
has to be maintained across function calls; or register pressure in
one place that causes spilling in other places.
- The VM designer may neglect the small general-purpose VM
instructions; they may be a special case of a more powerful (but
slower) VM instruction, and the VM designer may not want to add
another VM instruction just for this special case.
While the idea of doing more work per instruction has its merits, the
way it should be done is to first make a simple VM with a fast
interpreter, then see what sequences are executed often, and add VM
instructions for them.

Yes, an interpreter has to use memory for indexable registers.
However, as David Gregg and his students have found, using a
"register" VM (actually they used a variant of the JVM with directly
encoded locals) can reduce the number of VM instructions executed by
so much that every interpreter with a significant
VM-instruction-dispatch overhead is faster with such a "register" VM
than with a naive stack VM.
Of course, I still believe in stack VMs, for the following reasons:
- Dynamic superinstructions (aka selective inlining) eliminate the
differences in dispatch overhead between these two methods (there is
only one dispatch per VM basic block).
- Even without dynamic superinstructions, one can find sequences of
frequently occuring VM instructions and combine them into static VM
superinstructions; I believe that applying this optimization to both
stack VM and "register" VM will eliminate many differences between
them (e.g., if the sequence "iload iload iadd istore" is combined into
a superinstruction, the superinstruction is actually an instruction of
the "register" VM), and lets the stack VM have a similar low number of
dispatches, while still having less decoding overhead in those cases
where the stack can be used to advantage (e.g., non-trivial
expressions). There are automatic tools for introducing static
superinstructions (Vmgen), so sticking with the stack VM gives you
most of the benefit of the register VM without having to pay the
complexity of dealing with a register VM.
As for compilers, why would a VM designed for them use registers? In
order to use the CPU's registers effectively, the compiler has to
reallocate registers anyway; for that a stack VM is just as easy as a
register VM; maybe it's easier, since with stack items you learn about
their death during a forward pass through the code, whereas with most
register-based representations (certainly a typical register VM) you
need a backwards pass to determine the death of a register.
You could use an intermediate representation designed for register
allocation, e.g., with an infinite number of pseudo-registers and only
one live range per pseudo-register and with explicit register death
marks; but such an intermediate representation would typically no
longer be considered a VM.

This is the third set of eight preludes by Patrick Piggott and is more advanced in style than the earlier two. Piggott considered these to be best; he wrote "Most people find No.6 quite easy to understand (not to play), and this is the one they tend to see pictures in or hear the wind and so on." "No.8 is one of the best things I have done! Free at last of anything that once hindered me. If the eighth Prelude expresses anything other than music, it might be the battle with death (sounds over-dramatic) which I was fighting through most of last year . . . " He completed the set with a Postlude, a cortege-like reflection and resolution of earlier conflicts whilst revealing a mood of doubt or apprehension.Duration 19 minutesPatrick Piggott (1915-1990)Born in Dover and educated at Dover College, Patrick Piggott then studied at the Royal Acaademy of Music under Harold Craxton for piano and Benjamin Dale for composition. After the Academy, he continued his composition studies with Nadia Boulanger and his piano studies with Emile Bosquet in Brussels and then Julius Isserlis in London. Most of his early compositions were performed and broadcast though none now exists either in print or in recorded form. He became busy as a pianist and indeed was resident pianist at Cardiff University for many years. In 1965 he was appointed BBC Head of Music, Midland Region, a post which he held for four years before devoting himself to composition.

News Release
NASD Fines USAllianz Securities $5 Million for Widespread Supervisory, Record-Keeping Violations
Washington, D.C. — NASD announced today that it has fined USAllianz Securities $5 million for widespread deficiencies in its supervisory system and for record-keeping violations. As part of the settlement, USAllianz Securities may not open a new office for 30 calendar days, and may not hire new registered representatives for seven days.
USAllianz was also ordered to retain an independent consultant to verify that it has fully implemented recommended modifications and additions to its supervisory system and procedures.
NASD found that for almost five years, USAllianz failed to establish and maintain a reasonable supervisory system and written procedures designed to oversee the firm's registered representatives and their activities. Resulting deficiencies included, among other things:
- Supervising principals who, in some instances, did not know which registered representatives they were responsible for supervising and in other instances registered representatives could not identify their supervising principals, both resulting in supervisory lapses.
- Supervisors who were not qualified to carry out their supervisory responsibilities because they lacked experience, education and training; and, in other instances, supervisory principals inappropriately delegating their day-to-day supervisory responsibilities to other, less experienced principals, often without notifying the firm.
- Inadequate staffing resources dedicated to compliance given the size and location of the firm's sales force.
- An internal office inspection program that failed to provide adequate oversight, training and guidance, leading to substantial failures to properly identify deficiencies.
On Oct. 12, 2006, following the period of the conduct found by NASD, USAllianz was integrated with and assumed the name of Questar Capital Corporation.
"The severity of the sanctions in this case reflects the magnitude of USAllianz's supervisory failures," said James S. Shorris, NASD Executive Vice President and Head of Enforcement. "Firms must ensure that they have adequate systems in place, and well-trained and qualified supervisors, to conduct meaningful supervision of their sales staff. The failures of supervision at USAllianz's individual offices were compounded by its wholly inadequate internal inspection program."
Specifically, NASD found that from April 2001 through March 2006, USAllianz did not have an adequate system in place to ensure that principals with supervisory responsibilities knew which registered representatives they were responsible for supervising. Further, some representatives could not identify their supervising principal. As a result, for certain representatives, activities commonly associated with daily supervision such as trade blotter and correspondence review did not take place. During that period, the number of Allianz representatives ranged from as many as 3,000 to between 800 and 900.
NASD also found that many supervisors were not qualified to carry out their supervisory responsibilities because of a lack of experience, education and training. Further, some supervisory principals delegated their day-to-day responsibilities to other, less experienced principals, often without notifying the firm. In one particular office, a principal with supervisory responsibilities for about 150 registered representatives delegated supervisory responsibilities to an individual who had no principal training and no previous experience as a supervisor, and failed to conduct appropriate follow-up.
NASD also found that USAllianz's compliance department was understaffed. For much of 2001 and 2002, it had just two compliance officers for a large field sales force that were working in numerous offices scattered throughout the United States. Although the size of the firm's sales force declined in 2004, the firm was still inadequately staffed with only four compliance officers.
Additionally, NASD found that USAllianz failed to provide adequate oversight, training and guidance in its internal office inspection program. USAllianz did not provide inspectors with any objective standards for finding deficiencies or potential rule violations, which led to numerous instances where deficiencies were not appropriately identified. For instance, an inspector could determine that an entire office was fully compliant in an area simply because a single registered representative did not exhibit any deficiencies in that area. The firm failed to offer an adequate training program for inspectors and did not ensure that they had an appropriate level of experience before conducting inspections. For example, one inspector who conducted a 2004 audit of a USAllianz office had no training in how to conduct inspections or in securities compliance generally. This person had previously worked for USAllianz in a clerical position. NASD also found that, generally, USAllianz's inspection program failed to properly identify deficiencies and was not carried out in a timely manner.
Finally, prior to March 2005, USAllianz did not have any system in place to capture, preserve and maintain e-mail communications. The firm implemented an interim system in March 2005, but that system was not successful. The firm did not have an effective system in place to capture and retain all e-mails to and from its sales force until mid-December 2005.
In settling with NASD, USAllianz neither admitted nor denied the findings, but consented to NASD's findings.

Totally Witchin'!!!
So I fell in love with this set the second I saw it. It reminds me of Wicked, which I saw a few years ago in Chicago. It evokes some very cool witchy friends, who shop for shoes together and probably drink appletinis. Not the sort that eat children or anything. And I'm not gonna lie - I had stockings just like that in the late 70s!!
Remember the striped leggings? What in the world were we thinking?
The image is from My Favorite Things and every single stamp in this set is, well, BEWITCHING.
I colored the image with 80 bazillion Copics - so many that I had to walk into the living room with all of them and this teeny square of paper and show the DH. He was suitably amazed.
Then, I mounted it on a piece of Tangerine Tango that I ran through the big shot with that cool bigz die. Look at the perforations it makes around the edge. Amazing.
That went onto some Kiwi Kiss Bella Rose DSP (boy it was hard to stick the side with the roses down to the inside of my card!!) and then onto Basic Black.
I'm not really sure why I don't do more vertical cards. Hmmm. Remind me!!
I stamped the witch kettle in Versamark and clear embossed it, and then added a Tangerine Tango Spider, whom I painstakingly cut out, with a Stampendous bling sticker on his badonk badonk. He's popped up with a dimensional.
To make the handle of the kettle, I just bent a piece of Wire Works green wire (the thinner gauge wire) and made a sandwich - kettle, wire, dimensional - to adhere the wire to the back of the cardstock.
And PS - if you do embossing, and you get little voids where you don't have any embossing powder, just heat emboss the first time, let the cardstock cool down, and then go back with your Versamarker over areas that didn't get embossed. Add more embossing powder, heat, and perfection!
Sometimes you have to do it a few times before a solid image is totally covered and shiny. This image is solid so I had to do it twice.
How fun is THAT??? My step-grandmother's birthday is Halloween so maybe I will send her this card.
If you haven't seen the spiral technique, visit Stampin with Di - there's no way I could do this tutorial better than she did!!!
Think outside the box and surprise someone with the way the INSIDE of your card looks!!

I have so very much to be thankful for and I was going to find some photos of family and all to post today but got so busy with housework. My mom is arriving here tomorrow for a short visit, and then I will drive her to the mountains to my sister's, where we always have Thanksgiving. My middle sister has been hosting Thanksgiving for many years; she is a lovely, lovely person, and a gourmet cook who loves to celebrate this holiday at her home. My youngest sister always makes the trip with her hubby and family every year from Idaho, yet this year they will stay in Boise to celebrate, as my nephew is on the BSU football team, and they have a game the day after Thanksgiving! I just went outside and got my mail, and this beautiful magnet was waiting for me, along with the sweetest note from my youngest sister, who is another very, very lovely person--saying, "To my wonderful sister, Jann, I will miss you terribly on Thanksgiving! Love you lots." This touched my heart so much, and, well, needless to say, I have to wait until my eyes stop leaking before I can call her! Isn't that just the nicest thing? So, today, especially, at the beginning of Thanksgiving week, I am grateful for my two terrific sisters, who are just the absolute best sisters anyone could hope for!

Wonderful story, and what a cute photo of you and your sisters. I also miss my sisters at Thanksgiving, and every day of the year, as they both live over 900 miles away. This time of year I feel both thankful that I have a wonderful family, but also sad that they aren't closer to me, and that my Mother is no longer alive. But all in all I feel very blessed, and I am sure you do as well. Happy Thanksgiving!

About Me[edit]
Name: Sasha Grace / Xsheswaiting / Vixxy (Formerly Bubba)
Born: 5 December 1991
Gender: Female
Present Location: wrapped up in my blanket on my bed
Occupation: Student
Species: Red fox (but with pink fur ^_^)
Mate: CytoFox
Hiya! The name's Sasha, in case you didn't see that up there xD ... I'm technically a Red Fox like my mate, but I have pink fur that fades into purple on my legs and tail and then black paws, ears, and tail tip. I'm extremely bouncy and crazy (hooray for ADHD!) and some people say I'm annoying, but there are a select few who put up with my craziness, mostly because they're as insane as I am if not more so. I'm a Senior in high school in a different town than I live in, because I'm part of the Agriscience program there (look it up).
What's with the name?[edit]
My mate and I are foxes, and females are called vixens, so CytoFox (Foxxy) needed a nickname for me other than Bubba. I got that name from my friends at the barn I ride (horses) at because it was the end of the week-long summer camp and everyone was signing this one girl's jeans. I like to be random and write bubbles everywhere and draw them, but one of my friends thought it said Bubba for some reason. Not sure how that happened, but it did, and it stuck for a few years, and when I talk to them I still answer to it, but they're the only ones that call me that.
So now everyone calls my mate Foxxy but no one calls me Vixxy =( oh well... It takes a while for a name to stick and I'm graduating in 7 months anyways so it doesn't matter.
Thanks for sticking around long enough to read my page, hopefully it wasn't too boring ^_^

The materials needed to install a bathroom vent fan include an exhaust fan, HVAC tape and wire connectors. Tools for a vent fan installation include a circuit tester, drill and drill bits, screwdrivers, safety glasses and work gloves. Drywall repair supplies and a drywall knife may also be needed.
The air flow capacity of an exhaust fan is measured in cubic feet per minute, and the capacity of fan that is needed is dependent on the size of the bathroom. A small bathroom requires a fan with a CFM of 50 to 60, a medium bathroom needs a 70 to 90 CFM fan and a large master bathroom requires a fan with a CFM of 100 or more.

In mid May, we planted buckwheat. We planted it as a cover crop, and plan to have it plowed under this fall. We'll plant potatoes and squash and other storage veggies there next year. When I posted the top image on Instagram yesterday, my friend Natalya asked, "Are you going to harvest kasha?"
Her question sent me to our home library to pull this sweet book from the shelves (illustrated by one of my faves, Nikki McClure). Harvesting and processing the groats may take some work, but we may just try a small batch to see how it turns out. (Thanks Natalya, for the fabulous idea! If we actually pull it off, I'll send you some).
When I was down in the field taking pictures, I was delighted to find that some of the saved lupine seeds that I planted have sprouted. Now I really must go back out there and do some weeding to ensure their future success!
This morning we did indeed sign the contract and write the hefty deposit check. Our long awaited house renovation begins a week after the wedding! We will get our house rehab blog up and active again when all the excitement finally begins.

Many Acadia alumni likely remember Radio Acadia as the musical backdrop to a bevvy of remarkable moments in their university career. Sitting in the SUB listening to an all-80s show or rocking out to punk and metal bands as a warm-up to an intramural hockey game or maybe an Exit 10 in the MacKeen Room.
It's a rich history that has a new life online these days as Axe Radio, and alumni from around the world are invited to give a listen, reconnect and get involved. Available via live stream on the Internet and broadcasting from the Students' Union Building on campus, Axe Radio wants to listen as well as be heard, according to fifth-year Environmental Science Co-op student and Station Advancement Coordinator Luke Ehler.
Ehler, whose father Donnie ('83) and brother Adam ('13) graduated from Acadia, says shows are live with several hours of content each day. This is then looped using a playback feature so there's always something available to listeners regardless of time zone. Formats include blues, folk and country; alternative; electric/house/dance tunes; punk and metal bands; movie soundtracks; local performers; and talk shows that aren't afraid to take on current events.
"It's definitely raw and organic," Ehler says. "It's a hybrid between traditional radio and something different: less touched up, more of 'what you hear is what you get' kind of thing."
Sounds good, but why would alumni be interested? In Ehler's estimation, it's all about family. "My brother was at Acadia, loved it, and as soon as he left, he really missed it. I know that recent and older Acadia grads really miss having that close tie to Acadia because, after four or five years here, you get embedded in the culture. I think Axe Radio is a good way to reconnect and discover new music at the same time."
It all works off a studio computer, a few microphones and some basic sound equipment, Ehler says. There are between 25 and 30 shows a week with more than 30 broadcasters involved on a volunteer basis. Most shows are an hour long, with some half-hour segments. There are songs and stories, and Ehler suggests that some content is pretty edgy and may contain mature subject matter. In that instance, producers or broadcasters do their best to provide a cautionary advisory at the start of those particular programs.
Although Ehler and Station Coordinator Jeremy Bolzon expect to graduate in April, Ehler is working hard to ensure that Axe Radio remains viable and sustainable for future years. Part of the plan is to secure sponsorship funding for new equipment and tech upgrades. They also have plans to update the website for improved functionality and even create a mobile app for listening on the go. Other avenues to spark public and student interest include airing audio clips from alumni interested in speaking on specific topics, interviews with current students and faculty, and exclusive podcasts with people like Dr. Silver Donald Cameron, Dr. David Suzuki and journalist and author Dr. Gilbert McInnis. Ehler is also hoping to interview Hope for Wildlife founder Hope Swinimer and encourage more Acadia students to produce podcast material that could be shared with other Maple League Institutions (St. Francis Xavier, Mount Allison and Bishop's). This would provide AxeRadio listeners with content from other universities and allow content made by Acadia students to reach a much wider audience.
"We're hoping to set the table for future generations," Ehler says, "and we're excited to see where the station ends up in April." For more information, visit http://axeradio.ca/ or contact Luke Ehler at: firstname.lastname@example.com .

Book: Let the Right One In
Author: John Ajvide Lindqvist
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
480 pages
Kevin's Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Let the Right One In is the story of Oskar, a 12-year-old boy, and Eli, the girl who might be something else entirely. Oskar is bullied at school and lashes out against the world in private. His life is drastically changed when he meets Eli, the new girl in his Apartment complex. Eli talks differently, seems oblivious to the cold of the Swedish winter, and doesn't come out during the day. The two form an unlikely friendship considering that Eli ought to see Oskar as food. Unfortunately for Eli, it's not easy for a vampire child to function in society on her own. When her adult companion is caught trying to gather blood for her, Eli must risk exposing herself as the townspeople become more and more suspicious of what might be in their midst, and Oskar might be the only one who can help.
Let the Right One In is a horror story unlike any other I've ever read. It's an atmospheric read that tends to be creepy rather than scary most of the time, but still managed to have certain scenes I found scarier than most anything I can remember. The Vampires are mostly traditional although they are some pretty cool twists to them, that I wouldn't dream of spoiling.
While many of the principle characters in Let the Right One In are children, it has very adult themes, focusing on love, sex, pedophilia, alcoholism, divorce, bullying and the pains of growing up. It's definitely not a happy book. All of the characters are flawed in some way, even the ones who'd generally be considered the protagonists. I think this provides an emotional depth that is uncommon in this genre.
I read this book after seeing the original Swedish movie and I think they complement each other very well. The movie is much more straightforward and cuts out a lot of the subplots (including the scariest part of the whole book!) but is excellent in its own right. I imagine that people who read the book before seeing the movie could be disappointed, but coming to them in the order I did made a lot of sense. I was even a little disappointed at first because for the first 100 pages or so the book seemed to be almost identical to the movie, but then it began to expand and flesh out the characters and circumstances a lot more.
I highly recommend the book and the movie to anyone who likes their horror to have a little depth to it. Definitely don't wait for the US remake which they'll surely screw up.

Liverpool in shock move for Chelsea young sensation
Emerging report claims that English Premier League leaders Liverpool are planning to submit a shock bid for wantaway Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi in this winter transfer window.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has been seeking for a move away from teh Stamford Bridge over his lack of playing time with the West London side relunctant to part ways with him.
He has been identified as a player with big talent but he is being limited by the quality of players in the Blues team which he cannot withstand or win over.
German Bundesliga outfit Bayern Munich are reported to have made several attempts to secure the signature of Callum Hudson-Odoi but failed on three occasions.
However, latest report claims that the Merseyside are making effort to convince the star player in order to have him switch over to the Merseyside club.
It has been revealed that the Reds representatives have met with Callum Hudson-Odoi and his brother Bradley, who is his agent to consider a possible move to the Anfield.
While the outcome of the meeting has not been made public, there are suggestions that the Reds will do all it takes to lure the desperate player.
In a bid to have him stay, Chelsea reportedly tabled a £70,000-a-week contract but he is only keen on a first team football.
Liverpool loanee not returning, moving elsewhere for another spell
It has been claimed according to reports in the British media that English Premier League outfit Liverpool loanee Harry Wilson will not be returning to the Anfield.
The report claims that Harry Wilson will be heading to other destination where he would have a loan spell where he will be able to secure playing time.
There is no doubt that Harry Wilson is not ready to return to the Reds first team at the moment owing to the number of options in the Reds attack. However, he is tipped to be one of the best amongst his ranks and also a big part of the club's future.
So far this season, Harry Wilson has enjoyed his loan spell as he has already scored 12 goals and also made 4 assist in the 26 games under his belt, a feat that has been recognized by top sides.
However, Liverpool are not willing o part ways with Harry Wilson on a permanent basis but will hand him the opportunity to gain some experiences elsewhere and also secure regular playing time.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is not ready to tamper with his Liverpool team at the moment because of the focus of clinching the EPL title this season.
Inter Milan to battle Liverpool for £45m-rated target
Emerging report claims that Italian Serie A outfit Inter Milan will make efforts to snap up long term Liverpool target Federico Chiesa in this January winter transfer window.
Federico Chiesa who plays for Italian Serie A outfit Fiorentina has been on the radar of the English Premier League leaders for a number of years but they could miss out on him with the latest reports coming from Italy.
The likes of Chelsea and Juventus are also monitoring the situation with Federico Chiesa but there are suggestions that he could be heading to the San Siro with the seriousness already shown by the Serie A giants.
Inter Milan are desperate for a new winger in order to strengthen their attack and Federico Chiesa is tipped to be the best choice for the star player.
The English Premier League side was early expected to bring in Federico Chiesa to fill in the space for Naby Keita who was injured but that might no longer happen especially with the return of the African gaffer.
However, the Reds have made it clear that they will not be actively involved in this winter transfer window unless an emergency situation arises as manager Jurgen Klopp made it clear that he is happy with his squad.
Chelsea to miss out on £30m-rated transfer target
The chances of English Premier League outfit Arsenal securing the signature of their long term target and Italian Serie A outfit Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella is now looking slim.
This is after reports claim that that another Italian Serie A outfit Inter Milan is already closing in on the star player and plan to land him at the San Siro before the end of this winter transfer window.
The West London outfit have emerged as favourites for the star midfielder over the past weeks as they seek to make him as a replacement for Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas who has left the Stamford Bridge to join French Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco.
The Italy international has impressed so far this Serie A outfit which has attracted him to a number of clubs including Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool.
However, Inter Milan are expected to pay big for the star player as his price could double owing to his improved performance and the number of interests lined up for his signature.
So far this season, star player Nicolo Barella has made about 21 appearances and scored a goal which could mean closing to his end at the Italian outfit despite having a running contract until 2022.
Liverpool preparing bid for in-demand Belgium attacker
English Premier League leaders are reported to be monitoring the situation with Club Brugge winger Amaut Danjuma Groeneveld as they ready an offer to submit for him before the end of this winter transfer window.
Amaut Danjuma Groeneveld is only 21 years but that has not stopped European top guns from seeking to secure his signature in this January transfer window.
The star player has been injured since October last year which leaves him out of action but he is still being wanted by the Merseyside club who are bent on winning the competition from Italian Serie A outfit AC Mila, according to a Daily Mail report.
The report claims that AC Milan had already submitted an offer of £9 million for the player but it was turned down by Amaut Danjuma Groeneveld's owners as they hold the opinion that he is worth more than that.
However, the likes of Premier League title rivals Manchester City are also showing big interest in the player but they happen not to be favourites in this case.
With his contract still fresh with Brugge, having joined seven months ago, there are fears he will have another move away anytime soon with the number of interests lined up already.
United, Chelsea to clash over English sensation
English Premier League sides Manchester United and Chelsea are set to clash over the signature of Antoine Semenyo, according to Team Talks.
It was reported that the Red Devils were earlier ahead in the race for the star player but have been joined by the West London club who are willing to snap up his signature.
Antoine Semenyo is only 19 but has been able to attract this level of interest from these big Premier League guns because of his impressive performance for his side.
The Bristol City player is currently on loan at League Two side Newport County but he could be recalled immediately an offer is submitted after it has been claimed that his parent owners are ready to have him leave should the right offer be tabled for his signature.
Antoine Semenyo has scored a total of six goals across all competitions and handed two assists this season to add to his performance on the pitch.
However, the Blues are reported to be aware of the player's availability and are ready to swoop in to secure his signature as early as in this winter transfer window.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are making plans to build a strong youth team so as to have a big future of talents that will help reduce their spending in the transfer windows.
Liverpool boss gives biggest injury update
English Premier League outfit Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has given a lift to the club fans after hinting them of the possibility of having England international midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain return to first-team football this season.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been injured since last season in April when he sustained a knee problem in Liverpool's first Leg Champions League semi-finals against Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma.
It was earlier thought that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will not return to football this season because of the career threatening injury but the German boss has made it clear that the star player has stepped up in his recovery.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss made it clear that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will return to training next month and could be involved in a number of games as well, this season.
The former Arsenal player joined the Anfield to become a transformed figure in the Jurgen Kopp's team, better than what he was known for at the Emirate Stadium.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was definitely a big miss for the Reds team and Jurgen Klopp cannot wait to have him back especially after stating that he was happy to see him move around with the ball while doing a sidelined workout.
Chelsea to suffer big blow as Ligue 1 giants submit offer for star player
English Premier League outfit Chelsea are set to suffer a big blow as their long term target Leandro Paredes has already received offers from French Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint Germain.
This means that he could slip off the West London hands and have a switch to the French Ligue 1 outfit as he would be handed luring personal terms aside the £35 million that was tabled for his signature.
The West London side were earlier in pole position to secure the signature of the star player so as to have him as a replacement for Cesc Fabregas who has left the club to join his former Arsenal teammate Thierry Henry who is now the manager at Monaco.
However, reports according to sports television channel Sky Sports Italia confirm that PSG have submitted an offer for the Zenit Saint Petersburg star player and he could be moving that direction.
It is now unclear where the future of Leandro Paredes lies as he is now expected to make a decision on his future having learnt of the interest from both sides.
Suggestions are that the West London side will miss out of the race as they might not be able to withstand the financial competition from the French outfit.
Liverpool still keen on the service of Bundesliga striker
English Premier League leaders Liverpool are yet to let go in the pursuit of German Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner as they are positive of landing him in this winter window.
The reports claim that the Merseyside team are willing to make Timo Werner the replacement for departed Dominic Solanke who left the Anfield on a £17 million fee to Bournemouth.
Liverpool are still hopeful to part ways with Divoc Origi and Daniel Sturridge as they are both keen to quit the club and that is why the Reds are bent on having Timo Werner so as to have enough options for the task ahead of the team.
A number of clubs had indicated interest in Timo Werner, especially North London outfit Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund but the Reds are now alone in the race as other suitors have given up their chase.
The report, therefore, claims that Liverpool will hope to convince the German Bundesliga with a luring deal as they prepare an offer to submit before the end of this January winter transfer window.
However, Timo Werner has been impressive this season which is the reason why his German side are keen on having him stay but talks of a new deal has been stalled.
Arsenal News: Denis Suarez Deal Falls Through
North London club Arsenal have been dealt a big blow in their pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez after talks between the Gunners and the Spanish giants broke down.
According to the report from the Daily Mail, Arsenal and Barcelona were unable to reach an agreement for the player.
A loan transfer was agreed but the Gunners were not willing to commit to a permanent transfer at the end of the short-term loan.
Arsenal proposed a loan deal with the option to buy but the Spanish La Liga champions wanted an obligation to sign him at the end of his loan spell this summer.
Denis Suarez has not been able to nail down a spot in the Barcelona first team and he's keen to leave the club in search of more playing opportunities.
The Spaniard has set his sights on a move to North London where he will reunite with Arsenal manager Unai Emery but his hopes might be dashed with the latest development.
Unai Emery and Denis Suarez worked together at Spanish La Liga club Sevilla in 2015.
Arsenal have no money to spend on players especially permanent signings in the current transfer window as confirmed by the aforementioned Unai Emery.
