Next up!
Deliaha wakes up with Vincents arm slung around her body and his other arm under her, wrapped in his warm loving embrace. She gently and slowly gets out of bed and heads towards the shower, right as the hot water touches her face, all her worries, fears and torments melt away. When she walks out and looks into the steamed mirror she sees her scar is gone and she is holding her head with a new type of strength and beauty. She looks over every inch of her face and settles on her eyes, the blue speckles seem to sparkle with desire and light and the violet is devestatingly breathtaking, the last time she was so amazed with those strange and glorious eyes was about 117 years ago. 117 years ago when she became a strong, powerful vampire, The night Vincent changed her. She laid on the moist grass outside the mansion where she was attending a grand ball. She had been so excited, this was her big night, the night she would be introduced into the social scene of balls, gowns, and wealth. She wore a deep red gown the covered all of her arms only revealing her delicate, small hands, with her neck completely exposed from the square low cut neckline of the dress. She wore modest face makeup and had her dark curls up in clips. She had been dancing and swaying all night, when a man in all black caught her eye, He had dark eyes but pale white skin and a defined strong body. She knew as a woman in society she would not approach this elegant man, but soon enough he was asking her for her hand to dance after dance. He whispered in her ear to follow him, she knew she should not have but he was so beautiful and charming, she was under his spell. He lead her to the yard where he slowly made his way to her heart with his flatterly and soulful deep eyes. He leaned in to kiss her, she closed her eyes waiting what felt like ages, finally his lips met her, they were cold as ice but soft as pillows and inviting. He slowly pulled away, and looked into her eyes, his expression softened and she saw his mood lighten, when she looked into his eyes and saw desire and lust, but also passion and need. He leaned in once again for a kiss and this time when their lips met his were more desperate as if he needed hers, he trailed down her cheek to her neck slowly kissing up and down her veins, her heart was racing, she could hear it in her ears, then she felt a sharp pinch and all of a sudden she became weak and lost her footing. He quickly, without looking up, scooped her up held her, she was terrified, but in her mind she could hear a voice telling her she was safe, his voice, telling her he would not hurt her, She tried to fight, she shrieked and sqriumed, but after a couple minutes she had no power to move. Then he stopped and laid her on the moist grass, he looked into her eyes, he had slattering of red in his dark eyes around his pupil, his eyes were so alluring she could not look away, this was all she saw. Then she felt dizzy and light-headed, she tried to sit up but it was as if her muscles would not listen, colder with every minute, she started shivering and shaking. What was happening to her? What had he done to her? The next moment She was against him he was looking down at her in concern, he was whispering something she could not hear, but she thought she saw his lip mouth im sorry and please forgive me, it will be over soon. Colder and colder into a freezing abyss, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she shook violently, then it stopped the pain-staking cold was replaced with a new pain, a burning pain but not in her body in her throat. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't think, hear, or talk, she was so thristy she knew excatly what she needed but would not let herself say it. How could a beautiful young woman want a cruel disgusting substance, no matter how she felt about it she needed it and was lusting over it, it felt as if her life dependent on it. With every minute it got worse and worse the pain was horrible, then two sharp pricks slide from her gums, Canines, she had fangs like an animal, thats when she knew she was no longer human, she was something of a whole different kind. Vincent took his sharp tooth and ran it across his wrist drawing a sweet smelling liquid that dripped from his light skin,he lifted her head to his wrist and she drank and drank, it felt amazing, she drank until she felt she was stuffed beyond belief. When she finally could move her body she sat up and saw a world she never saw before, colors were more vivid, smells more distintive, and she could hear almost everything moving around her. She caught a glimpse in a nearby window and thats when she saw her eyes, the eyes that could stop anyone in their tracks, and that were so strange even she could not believe what she could control with a glance, she always had dangerously beautiful eyes but now they shone like moonlight. She saw a girl that was ravenousing she did not even recongize herself, Vincent looked at her with worry and compassion, she gave him a smile to tell him she was ok, and she was enjoying this change of life so far, his eyes grew happier and he spoke only two words, He said You're Beautiful.

Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.
Sometimes life-ending.
Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.

The further Nora delves into the mystery of her father's death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim bloodline has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl. Since Patch isn't answering her questions and seems to be standing in her way, she has to start finding the answers on her own. Relying too heavily on the fact that she has a guardian angel puts Nora at risk again and again. But can she really count on Patch or is he hiding secrets darker than she can even imagine?
The ecsatsy of the blood exchange ended very fast, when Vincent pulled away and held her down. His expression changed from loving to hurt and betrayed. His eyes burning with fury, he started talking loud and fast, asking her why she had not told him earlier what had happened to her, he was demanding answers from her, His hold started getting tighter and tighter on her wrist, but he didnt even seem to notice, he was angry. How could he be angry with her? She had been attacked, she started yelling back and was getting hurt by the words and the way he was treating her. He should be more loving and caring and be concerned not angry, His grip getting harder and harder, the corner of her eyes started tearing, this was her attacker all over again. He did not even see her distress or ignored it he was so caught up, she did not know what to do she wanted it to stop, she started to panic, she raised her knee and slammed it as hard as she could into his lower stomach. He lost his grip and flipped onto his back, she ran from the bed, where such short time ago they were sharing intimate thoughts, wants, and desires, where she had felt so safe. She did not run far, she leaped into the bathroom that is attached to the bedroom. She examined her wrists and saw purple marks circling each, but she was more frighten when she looked into the mirror and saw herself, she looked terrified, paler than usual, her eyes looked alarmly large and brighter compared to her white face, she did not look like herself. Slowly the door started to open and Vincent slowly walked in, She involuntarily backed into the sink like a defenseless animal, he must have seen the marks, or her expression because the lines on his hard face ceased and his head drooped. She was so exhausted and defeated she could not look at him, he was her lover and he was her protector, how could he make her feel so terrified after he saw how she was attacked from her own mind? He started to speak, his voice came out cracked, low, and full of shame, but she did not care, she brushed past him almost knocking him off his feet, went start for her bed took his pillows and threw them into the living room, yes this may have been a tad bit dramatic, but she was proud of herself for doing it with a straight face and not letting her emotions get the complete best of her just yet. With that she went to her side of the bed and wrapped the covers around her like a cacoon and starred at the wall, slowly letting tear after tear slide down her face. She woke up the next morning to the sun pouring in her windows in an orangey hue and with the warmth the sun brought, lighten up her face. She got up and walked into the living room to grab her laptop and book, where she found Vincent laying flat on his back on the couch, his hair ruffled as if he was running his fingers through it roughly, his black button down shirt was wrinkly and completely unbottoned showing his white and very nicely toned body, and his eyes looked tired as if he had not slept a wink, which was probably the case. Right as she stepped into the room his face popped up and he was on his feet, she did not move or take her eyes off him as he approached her, she was happy by the way he looked he deserved to be upset and all in a tiffy over the events of last night, but his eyes showed a look of true worry and saddness, She never knew how he felt by just looking at him he could always keep his composure but after 100 years she could tell by the look of his eyes, his eyes never lied. He stopped inches away from her, looking at her face, wrists, and body but not making eye contact. Then he moved his arm towards her and his hand slowly reached towards her face, he was making sure she would know break it first, she still did not move even though this gesture sent heat tingles through her body, he gently stroked her face, she laid her hand on top of his and finally he formed a steady gaze with her eyes, and grabbed the other side of her face, he pulled her face to his and kissed her, it was a deep kiss that left her breathless, she wrapped her arms around his body so her hands laid on the smalls of his back, slowly tracing their way up towards his shoulders. When he finally broke away from her, he still calmly held her face between his strong, soft hands, she took a step back and took his hand and lead him and herself into the bedroom, where she layed on her side and wrapped his arm around her body so their bodies matched like puzzle pieces into eachother, he slid his other arm under her neck and softly kissed the side of her face. Just laying on their bed in slience for what felt like days, for they did not need words, they knew eachother so well, Words were just explainations between them, their mood and action showed how they felt and loved eachother. After some time he moved closer into her body and whispered into her ear, how much he loved her and how sorry he was, he did not mean to hurt her physically or emotionally, he was so scared by what he saw, how close to death she was, and how he could have let this happen. He blamed himself, He told her that they were trying to hurt him, that many people were trying to hurt him and that he was so sorry she had to get in the middle of it, he promised he would not let it ever happen again. She did not know at first how he saw all those images of her attack, because she usually could hide a couple images, thoughts or feelings from him, but this time she had let them slip and hoped he did not see her leopard, but would not ask if he had or had not. She just stayed there in his arms for a while, not wanted this to end, even though they fought like animals and he did hurt her, they truly loved each other, two poweful forces that love eachother will clash but if they abandon eachother everytime they clash then the powerful forced will lose their strength, because the power she has is part of him and his power is part of her, they are part of eachother.

Next Morning for Deliaha
After a long night night of tossing and turning with little sleep to show for it Deliaha decided to give up and get out of bed, Vincent had not returned that night, but that was not that strange, he had high priorities and was probably drinking a week worth of blood in one night. She was sitting on her couch in the living room with her legs crossed in an indian style, with a messy bun in a tight tank top on with baggy blue smooth soft pants on. She was racking her brain with question after question about her encounters the previous night and how dangerous the fight truly was, she still had the mark on her face to show for it, vampires heal at an alarmingly fast rate, but demon posion inside a wound can take twice the amount of time to heal, right now it is only a pink scar that is quickly fading. She must of dozed off, because she was awaken by the door closing and foot steps in the room, she gasped and jumped slighty, still being antsy from her night. She felt a tight embrace of warmth surround her and a set of warm smooth lips kiss the top of her head, She looked up and saw Vincent, smiling at her with pure delight in his eyes. As soon as the pleasure he showed came it was gone in seconds when he saw the mark on her face, Vincent was a man that showed no mercy, was dangerous and has been known to be cruel, but he never showed or acted that way with her, he only showed love and care towards her, except when they fought, they had gotten in some fights that left her sore and brusied and even left wounds on Vincent, but he always showed her gulit for it and either bought her flowers or some other cheesy form of an apology that always made her forget the hositility between them. He gently touched her ugly mark and traced it as if to find a hidden message, his eyes filled with anger and hate, She told him not to worry and to forget it, she didnt tell him how close to death she got, he didnt need to be in that over protective mode. It took some sootheing words and some time but his expression softened and his face lightened, thats when he grabbed her and playfully tackled her and kissed her first on the lips, letting his fangs bite her lip slipping a drop of blood, he quickly licked it off, for vampires the act of sharing blood does nothing for bloodlust, but is everything represented in love, it is the most intimate way to show love for one another, no boundaries were up only two minds merged into one, you feel what they feel, you are what they are, by doing this he was teasing her, giving her chills from pleasure and taking them away making her fidget and squrim with delight, he laughed a deep, seductive laugh and quickly swooped her off her feet, and held her gently against his chest. He laid her on their bed and slowly made his way up to her making her want him more and more, he kissed her mouth with so much passion and stopped and kissed her mark softly almost as if he would hurt her. he trailed to her neck and kissed it lightly waiting for her to say ok or to back off, Vincent knew better than to get inside her head without warning, Deliaha never showed emotion to anyone, and rarely to Vincent, But tonight she needed to feel his presence with her. She felt a sharp pinch and then pure excitment and oozing delight, By now she knew how Vincents mind looked and felt, but she was still always amazed once their minds merged, He had an aura of darkness, many part of his emotions, mind, and thoughts were edged with darkness and dark colors. She saw how he saw her, as a goddess and the rage he felt when he first saw her scar, and even envy when he noticed she was glacing at the man that saved her tonight, the Golden green eyed man. It was amazing sometimes how closely he watched her, she never really knew how close and how dear to him she was until she felt his mind, He was much like her in that way, he kept how he felt to himself, it saved alot of hardships and burdens from others to bear. When she saw how he felt envy towards the man she felt completely guilty and low, How she had looked at that man and how he was still in her brain, but she kept that from Vincent in a secert vault, He didnt need to know this right now. He didnt need to know of the shapeshifter that saved her life, that she was interested in him, amazed, confused, and even maybe attracted too, was anything to her, Vincent was her everything, She knew that from the start, she gave her life to be with him. Her secert was to be kept and forgotten by her and only her, The beautiful Leopard with beautiful, uncommon, strong eyes.

Vampire, new
All her senses are sharp, she feels the gnawing ache in her throat, the pain is almost as if she struggles to breathe, but by now she is used to the pain and it drives her to her prey faster and easier than before when she symapthized with humans, but she now accepts that she is no longer part of that world, the world of the weak and defenseless, she is the hunter and humans are prey. All vampires are beautiful, but Deliaha was also beautiful as a human, she always had striking features and a skinny yet hourglass body, the change only enhanced her features, her round innocent looking eyes that are violet with speckles of light blue around her pupil became brighter, and her plump full pink lips became a shade darker, her skin paled and her dark almost black brown curly hair grew longer and thicker. No one could resist her and she could trap anyone she wanted, but she felt for humans, she still remembers what humanity felt like, what her dreams were and what she wanted to accomplish. She runs her tounge along her sharp pearly white fangs, her mouth moistens at the thought of pirecing the soft delicate skin on a human's neck, hitting the main vein and feeling the thrist weaken with each mouthful. She looked across the room and spotted Vincent, he was talking to a young girl who he was going to prey upon later tonight, she did not know why but this gave her a jealous feeling even though she knew he would never leave her, she hated the thought of him with another woman in his arms, Right at that moment he looks over and flashes her his sexy crooked smile that always made her tingle, and gave the slightest flash of his fangs and winked to her, He was one of the most powerful vampire in the night world, he was feared by many vampires and had a very dark air to him, this always drew Deliaha to him with his seductive and dangerous temperment. She felt tired and unbearably thristy for blood, she started to search the room for her prey, she was feeling very vibrant tonight, her long thick dark curly hair running down her back was buzzing with energy, with her dress hugging her torso and chest like a corset and ending with a flowing skirt that was like a never ending river of darkness, and she had her black heels on that killed her feet but showed off her long legs, if it was up to her she would never take her favorite and always first picked steel toed boots off. As she searched she came across a man with chestnut colored hair and tan skin, he had the body of a worker but the stance of a gentleman, he had an air to him of confidence. She was almost starring daggers at him because all she needed was a glance, for his eyes to meet hers, then she could make her move it was always that simple with humans, so easy to play with, with one look he would be hooked and would be hers to have and do what she wants and needs to, but when he did look at her she was memserized by his golden-green eyes, that did not look human nor vampire, more animal but without a firece harsh look of Vincent but a defensive almost gentle look of a feline. Being caught so off guard and so thristy she turned and left without glancing back even though she felt his eyes following her and engulfing her essence, If he was part of the nightworld the consquence for feeding off him would be great, and do all most nothing for hunger, only give transfer of energy and power, but this is not worth it now, it is war between the creatures of the night using any excuse to attack. Later that night on her way home she picked up the lowest and dirtiest creature off the street, he was covered in layers of dirt and rags and was alone, he would surely not be missed, When she had her head straight again and was not distracted by the pain of bloodlust, her mind started to wonder back to those beautiful, strange golden green eyes of the man, the man without the harsh power of Vincent but a kind and gentle but yet strong look of a condfident elegant animal, he was not vampire, but maybe a shifter, shifters are the lowest form in the night world, always being looked down upon, from being known as hybrids and not true predators, but no matter this man with golden-green eyes was stuck on her mind, she needed to learn who he was, almost as if her sanity dependented on it. She was turning a corner not paying attention when she heard swift light strides behind her, she looked out the corner of her eye and saw in fact movement behind her, she was being tracked, this was not that out of the ordinary, she was a firece fighter and a known powerful vampire in the nightworld many people would want to take her place, and many power hungry enemies would try to get a piece of her. She felt a tightening in her chest, and her muscles started to tenses, her fangs started sliding from her gums each step was poised for attack, She was in her fighting mode, this was the fight or flight, and she never chose flight, running was for the weak and she is not weak, she will never be weak like she once was, she was once a young innocent naive human who was taken aback by a man with brown eyes with red surrounding his pupil and a velvet voice that would melt any girls heart, but she was not human now and she was the predator and they were the prey, that was the relationship, vampire and human, predator and prey the line can not be crossed. Long ago she was the prey, if she wasn't so beautiful and had the courage of lion and the will of a bull she may never have became what she is today, Vincent may have never been so lustful and curious by her, she would be dead in the ground, never knowing power and strength. She listened for the steps getting closer and closer, which were followed by a rotten stench, it had to be a demon of some kind, nothing to hard to kill. She slowed her pace and turned to face her demon and was gone in a flash, in an instant she was in front of the attacker and swung her leg across her body aiming straight for its throat with her sharp heel, when it used lightening reflexes and tossed her aside like a ragdoll, she was weaponless and now it had the advantage, how could this have happened? She was rattled on the inside and was buzzing with frightened energy, but would never show it, even if this is her moment of death, she would die with strength and never end being a coward, he was on top of her, it slapped her face tracing its claws across her face causing shotting pain and his knee was crushing her leg, so escape was not possible. She tried to fight but it was useless, in her last moments she wondered if she would be missed or just seen as another death in the nightworld, would Vincent even care? Then something leaped over her and her Demon, it was a black blur, and the next second it was attacking her attacker, she lay on the pavement stunned and not able to recover from what had just happened, The creature gave a last scream when she heard a wet hard bite that left the demon motionless on the ground, her body shot up to she the scene and then she laid eyes on a beauitful black leopard, with fur the color of midnight and in the moon light shown its dark spots, and the same golden-green eyes, starring at her, the same eyes she had seen not hours before. As she lay on the the pavement the leopard and she just starred at eachother, it had a look of wild, raw, protective, and something that looked like desire in its eyes, without a second glance it leaped up and gracfully sped away, leaving her breathless on the pavement, once again confused and drawn in by those beautiful loving golden-green eyes, the eyes of the man who just fought to protect her, a man who she did not even know his name, only the imprint of the look of safety and comfort he gave her was left on her mind.
Distracted and uninterested, these are too fond of feeelings for deliha, she walks into the gym with a jersey that has a resemblse to a bumbke bee and that hugs her curves alittle to closer for comfort with black spandex showing off her strong athletic legs. The wind blows past her, making her hair raise and fall against her face gently, with the sun with almost an orange hue shine on her striking features of violet blue eyes, dark curly hair, plump light pink lips and pale skin. She has never fit in and never really intends to. Volleyball keeps her somwhat sane and makes her accomplish something in her free time, but her true love is reading. When she is buried into a book the world is a blur and she is in the story she is experience the terror, thrill, and love the charatcers do, she gets to explore her imaginations that has been denied by the world she lives in now. As she walks she sips slowly a drink, trying to determine what it taste like excatly she comes up with blue, the drink is just plain tasting of blue. The slight frost and tang the drink brings out and that way it cool her throat, can only be descirbed as blue. No one would understand if she were to explain the flavor of this new drink, but in her world blue is a drink and love is within reach, no judgements are made, and she is considered beautiful. She in fact is stunning and ravenousing but she is different no one can and wont see past her difference, she has friends but pays little attention she doesnt need the attention of the popular girls and boys, she has her secert world, the world of dark romance, dark creatures, and acceptance of what she is. When she arrives home she find a mirror and looks and see the girl she truly is.

Catching Fire review
I finished this book with a million questions and a thrist for the answers. Katniss has once again lived through another hunger games, this time with real, experienced and some insane killers. She makes friends and once again sticks it to the capitol. But with all the rebellions rising in the districts,Katniss doesn't know what to do anymore. Her main Purpose....keep Peeta alive. with the twist and turn of this book you are left with so many questions. I give this a 4 out of 5, with great imagery used. I loved this book and i cannot wait to read Mockingjay, it will finally give me answers to everything ive been waiting for.

That's not to say that you won't have a great time, but in case you're a little nervous about either the trip or the destination (at some point, your baby will need to eat in front of a roomful of relatives, here are some random thoughts:
- Assume that some boob (pun intended) will have a bit too much wine and say something totally inappropriate about breasts and/or breastfeeding. Maybe that's just my family -- but in case it happens to you, a beatific smile is always handy. Feel free to think bad thoughts on the inside. The other option is to say that yes, you hope to wean soon, so that your breasts can go back the work nature intended, selling beer.
- Nursing on a plane will save you from (most of) the screaming that babies seem conditioned to do in aircraft. Of course, since you're crammed in like sardines, you may be next to someone who doesn't appreciate your fine mothering skills. And, if you're in first class, be prepared to be next to Barbara Walters or someone else who thinks nursing makes them "uncomfortable."
- Both of the above situations will be abated if you just remind yourself what a good mom you are. And that you have a right to be in the room (or, in the first case, the plane). If those fail, read about other people's reactions here and keep some funnies in mind from Breastfeeding.com here.
- (By the way, if you have miles, use them for upgrades now before baby needs his own ticket!)
- Use a sling, both for travel and for family gatherings. Keeps all those germy hands and curious eyes away. And yes, I apologize for all the mothers of older kids who look just like petri dishes to you and who want to touch the baby. Remind them that stroking the top of a baby's head gently feels just great. And if they touch his little hands, smack 'em! (Just kidding.)
- Lastly, dress appropriately. Meaning, you don't need to disrobe to feed a crying infant. Here is a fabulous new shirt from Japanese Weekend, but we have lots more!
Have a great trip!

(RxWiki News) Risk for alcoholism is associated with an increased risk for obesity, according to a new study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine.
For families with a history of alcoholism, obesity risks are increased. Both men and women who share these family histories were more likely to be obese in 2002 than members of that same high-risk group had been in 1992.
Lead author Richard A. Grucza, PhD, said they looked at cross-heritability, an analysis that provides insight into whether a predisposition to one condition might also contribute to other conditions.
They found that there is a cross-heritability link between obesity and alcoholism, while the study also suggested some environmental links exist -- an important distinction, Grucza said.
Garza claims the environment is the component that changed between 1992 and 2002, not genes.
Food contains more calories than what we ate in earlier decades, much of which is comprised of sugar, fat and salt that appeal to reward centers in the brain. About 15 percent of the American population is obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more.
Because alcohol and drugs also affect the same reward centers in the brain, the researchers hypothesized overconsumption of foods high in sugar, fat and salt might be greater in people with a predisposition to addiction, so he and his team analyzed data from two large alcoholism surveys from the last two decades. Women with a family history of alcoholism were 49 percent more likely to be obese than those without a family history, according to study results. The same relationship existed in men, but not to the same extent.

PA School Orientation
Thursday, May 26, 2016
Hi friends! Hope you all are doing well. We had our orientation on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. I promised in my last post that I'd give y'all an update of how everything goes and here I am. I've split it up into two parts since we had our orientation over two days.
Day 1: I got to school around 7:30 am (half an hour early thanks to no traffic) and got to mingle with some other early birds from my class. Everyone I've talked to so far from my class seem really nice and were are all so excited to finally meet each other. Once we had some light breakfast and got started, we had a welcome talk from the program admissions director and the director of our program. This day was mostly just getting more paperwork done with financial aid, getting our email address and ID cards made and getting fitted for our white coats. We got to have lunch with our upperclassmen and everyone got to meet their big. My sweet big got me a box of goodies with her favorite pens, highlighters, a bunch of colorful sticky notes (love!), and some candy. She also passed down Guyton & Hall's Medical Physiology pocketbook to me that she received from her big last year. That was such a sweet hand-me-down and I feel so privileged to have it. I look forward to keeping the tradition going and passing it down to my little next year!
After lunch, we had representatives from Littmann and Welch Allyn come speak to us and show us the medical instruments we need to get. Most of us were pretty lost on what we should get in terms of different options that were presented to us. Everything is so expensive so it's definitely gonna take some time to make a decision. Most of it really just depends on your personal preference so there's no set amount that we all will be paying. We also found out our class schedule for the rest of the semester and get this. We don't start class till 9 am!!! This may not be a big deal to some of you guys, but there's such a huge difference between starting at 8 am and 9 am. Extra hour of sleep and less rush hour traffic? Sign me up.
Day 2: Today was a much shorter day but we got a lot of information throughout the day. Meeting some of our professors and sitting in our actual classroom was the highlight of the day. We did a little fun activity with the professors to get to know them better and got our individual advisor assigned to us. Then the rest of the day was basically getting accustomed to blackboard, registering for all our online resources, and getting some details worked out.
Up until the end of orientation today, I was still not really registering the fact that I'm in PA school. The first day was so laid back (or at least I felt that way) and fun getting to know my classmates that it really didn't hit me that I was starting school. However, as soon as we logged in to blackboard and I took a look at the syllabus and saw how many exams and quizzes we had lined up, I got a nice little reality check! I finally feel that I'm really doing this and while I was overwhelmed at first, I'm thankful that I get the opportunity and the privilege to learn medicine and become a PA. The journey ahead is going to be a tough one but it's going to be worth it.
We have the rest of the week off along with memorial day so the first day of classes will be on May 31st. I'm off to enjoying my last few days of freedom with my friends and family :) Hope you all have a great long weekend!

Inside my closet will NEVER happen. At least not while I live in this house! February 12 was our 13th anniversary! So, I will post a picture of us instead:)
Our anniversary was on Sunday, so we dropped the kids off at my parents after church. We went to eat lunch at Coyote Blues. We hardly ever go out to eat just the two of us! It was freezing cold on Sunday...just like the day we got married.
Because I am a teacher, I struggle as a mom

Every year I had to fill up the form and get it approved. Earlier this year, I totally forgot about it and I think HR also forgot to follow up until it was almost end of January when payroll needed the confirmation to process the right amount of salary payment.
I asked HR - Can't I just sign up the form to cover a period of time instead of having to do it yearly? HR said - Oh no lah, you do it yearly la because I mean, it's not like you're gonna be working on a 4-day week for the next, 10 years right?
I was puzzled. Coz I mean, seriously, I cannot imagine myself coming back to work on Fridays anymore. If anything, I would loveeeeee to move from 4 days, to 3 days, to.... well, none! Hehe.
So looks like a yearly renewal it is then.

The new remarkable blend
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Armenia's Independence, Yerevan Brandy Company released a limited edition brandy — ARARAT 25. This remarkable blend was presented to the public on the eve of the anniversary celebration.
Armenia is a legendary country with a history of several thousand years. In September it celebrated an important milestone in its recent history — 25th anniversary of Independence. The country's unique history is closely intertwined with the fate of great civilizations and outstanding people. Ancient and medieval principalities and kingdoms of Armenia often became witnesses and participants of dramatic moments and triumphant events of the chronicles of mankind. But at all times, Armenia was famous as a country of extraordinary generosity and boundless hospitality, with generous, brave and dedicated to their land people.
ARARAT is considered to be one of the symbols of Armenia. This noble drink has absorbed all the best that the Armenian land can give: its bright sun and an abundance of colours, love and dedication, and a respect for tradition and national pride. Since it's founding, ARARAT has been and remains an important part in the lives of the people and their country.
ARARAT 25 is an exceptional brandy, created from ARARAT signature blends and old spirits, which were aged in oak barrels for a half-century. This exclusive alliance clearly reveals the nature of this noble brandy. The unique blend has a beautiful colour and a rich multi-faceted taste, which includes shades of dark chocolate, toasted bread and sweet raisin. The amazing bouquet is filled with the aroma of vanilla, with a hint of caramel flavour. The drink reveals notes of black coffee, oak and pepper and ends with a long sweet aftertaste. This 25-year-old brandy is presented in an elegant bottle and a gift box decorated with the Coat of Arms of Armenia.
Dramatic twists in the history of Armenia, periods of triumph and stoic patience, climbing dynasties and the fortifying of new capitals affected the country's heritage. As the unhurried process of aging the precious spirits contributes a thinner and richer taste, each new era tempered, rallied and strengthened the Armenian people. The unique taste of ARARAT 25 brandy is created from rare spirits kept in the treasury of the Yerevan Brandy Company. It also shows the strong devotion of Armenian brandy makers to their native land and the people of Armenia.

Among the most typical questions we request is how do I repaint my bathtub counter? The baths have advantages over the years and so are likewise the focal point of the lavatory. By remodeling your Buffer Floor Machine, you produce a good weekend task, paint the bath vanity with relative ease and takes only some days of function and can provide lifestyle to the previous bathroom.
We have to prepare bathroom case to get this done you need sandpaper screwdriver and gentle detergent. Using your screwdriver, eliminate the handles and remove all-the drawers from your own cupboard that is recent. Next grab a bit of mud and your sandpaper all finished from your makeup cupboard. Make certain the mud both edges of the lavatory doorway. Somewhat wash the entire bathroom with mild detergent after you have finished sanding the entranceway.
Now we have painted back the dressing table covering the toilet flooring that touches the nearby ground exchanging hinges and all gates, and reinserting most of the fittings which were produced in this procedure. Now could be a great time to regulate the entranceway when it is not strung precisely to make the location of fresh screws to close the entranceway consistently so that tiny realignment.
Use a supreme quality primer to allow the external area of the Buffer Floor Machine t consult your gear store that is local to obtain the right primer for your unique project. Let before attempting to paint-your bathroom counter the primer dried. Tape from all factors around your bathroom counter never to get colour on floors or your walls.
It is time to paint your showcase first stirring the color till it opens. Next utilize a brush to evenly coat the paint that is lightweight onto all surfaces of the lavatory cabinet. More straightforward than to darken the project with one layer of coloring to use some jackets that are light. Permit then or overnight, to dry for hours that are many reinstall the second or next paint clothes.
Another method to tidy up your previous bathroom is by adding fresh buttons to the dresser and compartment doorways. Furthermore exchanging the sink having a new and more modern-style also can help update your previous Buffer Floor Machine.

We've kind of done this whole thing backwards.
Since he's going into the Military, we've been talking marriage for the past year, and for the past 5 months we've really considered ourselves to be engaged. We've been planning both our justice of the peace wedding and our traditional wedding and ceremony during this time, even though he had never officially asked me to be his wife. Backwards, I know.
Today is the the 4-year anniversary of the day we met, and I came home from work 40 minutes early, which was apparently a bad thing. When I got to the door, it was not only locked but deadbolted shut. He told me I couldn't come in yet, and that I had to go find something to do or sit in my car for 40 minutes. I eventually convinced him to let me come inside and hide in the bedroom if I promised to keep my eyes shut. I knew he was planning an anniversary dinner, but I didn't think he'd go this far with it!
When I got into the bedroom, I noticed all of our photos and candles had been taken down, which made me a little suspicious... but I hid out for almost 45 minutes before he came in and told me it was ready. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to go out the bedroom door--I had to walk out the back door, down the fire escape, around the building and come back in the front door!
When I got to the front door, there was more waiting--after about 5 minutes (which seemed like an hour at this point!) he came to the door and unlocked it, but told me I had to wait 10 seconds to go in.
When I opened the door, the lights were off but the house was lit by candles. Strung across the livingroom was a string with handwritten notes from him and photos of us clipped to it. All over the room, there were photos and memories of us, and on the ground leading into the kitchen was a trail made of construction paper hearts. In the diningroom on the table was another note, and when I turned into the kitchen he was there holding a sign that said "Happy 4 Year Anniversary." I was crying like crazy and he hugged and kissed me.
He asked me "did you think I was going to propose tonight?" and I said "yes!"
The next part is kind of blurry :)
He said "why would I do something silly like that" as he was getting down on one knee! He pulled out a ring, said something incredibly sweet (which, in my mess of tears, I'm not totally sure what it was...but I know it was beautiful and made me cry more!) and put a ring on my finger! It was perfect, and so much more than I could have ever dreamed of!!

11:47 almost missed it ...
mmmm saturday - slept in until almost 10, mind you i didn't get home till midnite and i still haven't got the christmas cards done ... or the never ending gods bedamned laundry.
went to the psychic fair at the catholic church .. you heard me correctly ... quite blase with the exception of the chakra reader and the labyrinth the Rainbow Youth Centre kids made - it was beautiful - and they did it on canvass so it's portable. however on the topic of contradictions the stations of the cross is also a labyrinthan pattern. altogether different from mazes, no dead ends or offshoots and the path to the center is also the path out. it's a gathwering of focus and release after centering. crete's labyrinth was supposedly created to trap the magical energies of the minotaur. it is also purported by some that all of the greatest of the ancient cities like Troy and constantinople were built over labyrinths as well. London too actually, based on the traditions of the earlier peoples before it became an urban center and was a simple collection of verdant hills.
i also came across some infor on mayan astrology which i have been looking for for a while nbow - so that will be an interesting winter project.
a lovely luch at donnakaykes with miss PJ and a tour of some of the 13th avenue shops. ihad no idea A CUP of Tea was even there. brought home some Latte Moachohita" tea, which smells like coffee. hmmmmm - not for me - just tasted wrong - not bad. should have got the raspberry or the jasmin - transcendant. we went to awarehouse for a browse - and for the first time the person behind the counter just didn't fit with the ambience of the store. he was a discordant note in an otherwise welcoming tone. supercillious, arrogant and nowhere near as knowledgeable as he attempted to present. i'll go back another day and pick up what i wanted.
then i messed about around the house, played a whack of crackbook scrabble - even got 3 - 7letter words in one game. deb & i got the invitations out for the OLA - Meeting of the Broads.
and now to bed.

(WORDEN, Mont.) — Eleven months ago, high school senior Koni Dole was playing in the last game of Huntley Project High School's regular season when his right leg snapped below the knee.
"I was just kind of like, 'Why does this have to happen to me?,'" Dole, of Worden, Mont., told ABC News. "I know what it feels like to have a last game. Or what I thought was my last play."
After several emergency surgeries, his lower leg became so infected that doctors gave him a sobering choice: keep the leg and risk a major illness, or amputate it. He had the leg removed.
"As soon as I learned I might have to amputate, I started looking up amputees that play sports, and made the promise that I'd be back on the field," he explained.
Where his shin, calf and foot used to be, Dole is now fitted with a flexible carbon fiber prosthetic.
Dole worked on learning to walk on the prosthetic. Within three months, he was back wrestling for his high school, and last spring he was running track.
"A lot of people don't see the process he goes through, getting ready for practice, taking care of the leg after practice, taking care of the skin," Dole's football coach, Guy Croy, said.
"Even though the pain was excruciating, just forcing myself to do the little things probably got me to where I am right now," said Dole.
But there was one last goal Dole wanted to tackle. More than anything, he wanted to get back on the gridiron. "The doctors told me I'd never play football again and I just always had that in the back of my mind, driving me," he said.
And then, the moment Dole had so patiently been waiting for finally arrived.
On Friday night, less than a year after the injury that should have ended his athletic career, Dole made his football comeback. Wearing his prosthetic, he ran for two touchdowns and helped his team win the game.
For Dole, the moment was surreal. "Just to overcome all this and to be back on the field with my teammates, it's probably the best feeling I've ever had," he said.
And Dole is showing no signs of slowing down. His dream school, Montana State, offered him a walk-on scholarship.

Last night was movie and Chinese food night.  I don't know if the Kung Pao appeased the literary gods or not - so far, no more writing news to post.  For the movies, not a bad choice in the bunch.
Rashomon:  another great story by Akira Kurosawa.  An interesting murder mystery, one which changes with each character's retelling.  Fortunately, forensic medicine has improved since the time of feudal Japan, and so have eyebrow fashions (women's eyebrows looked like smudges or bruises on their foreheads).
- 4 out of 5 stars.
The Hidden:  For my money, the best action/horror/sci-fi/buddy cop/humor movie of 1987.  Seriously, a good sci-fi action flick.  It has the usual minor discrepancies in continuity and logic, but those are offset by a believable story, great action, and a villain I couldn't help but envy.  WARNING - SPOILER AHEAD.  The ending was slightly ambiguous, but not in a bad way.  It made me wonder if one character took the place of the other, or actually sacrificed himself so the other could live.
- 4 out of 5 stars.
Futurama, season 3, disc 1:  still funny, but the humor wasn't up to snuff for this installment.  The show is getting a little predictable and maudlin, trying to pull heart strings where it used to go for a sucker punch.  Also they've taken their homages into theft territory.  Still good, but far from the best this series has to offer.
- 3.5 out of 5 stars.
In a somewhat related matter, the last time I returned movies to NetFlix they arrived a day later than normal.  Mailing them from home always took two days, but now the local post office takes just as long.  They recently posted a sign saying all mail will be sent to downtown Atlanta to be sorted.  As a test, I mailed two DVDs from the post office, and another one from a nearby mail box.  Hopefully one of them will knock that extra day off my turnaround time.

My new contract job is interesting. I like the industry. There's a lot of IT people and programmers. Everyone is friendly, but no one seems to be friends... if that makes any sense. The job is pretty easy and not really challenging, but I find the industry interesting. Hopefully I'll be able to stay around for awhile.

It sucks to be me. My old ATI Radeon 8500 video card has finally been retired. OK. So I install my new ATI 9600XT graphics card and ATI's web site (www.ati.com) is down so I can't get the newest drivers. I tried going to their old-style ca site, but the download links point back to ati.com. Argh!

My kids love the ocean. All three of them run right into the water whenever we go. It was all I could do to get sunscreen on them the first day before they took off and got all sandy and wet. The days can get long with little ones, but fortunately we had our friend's house to take breaks in when someone needed a rest or nap. It was a hit or miss weather week, but we didn't care. We enjoyed the beach in the sun, the clouds and the rain!
Early morning wake up call! Thank goodness our kids travel really well (even when we dragged them out of bed).
Brayden and Braeden beach ready!
Strutting her stuff to the beach
Learning to boogie board
They tried to bury Roman
Maggie wanted to get buried too!
Beach version of corn hole. This kept them busy for hours!

We had a great time! It went by quickly but the upside of having to come home was picking up Lucy the next day. I love making memories with my family and it's even more fun to do it with friends!

This debut novel is generating some buzz and being hailed a new classic along the lines of To Kill a Mockingbird. McDaniel sets out to examine our interpretation of good and evil as seen through the lens of a small town in rural Ohio in 1984. The plot is woven with prominent issues of that era – racism, homophobia, AIDS, cult mentality and serial killers - nearly all of which persist today.
The premise of this plot begins with a published invitation for the devil to come to town. Sal, a 13 year old African-American boy turns up in response. Sal befriends Fielding Bliss and is taken in by the Bliss family. With the arrival of the "devil" comes a scorching heatwave and bad things begin to happen in town. Fielding tells this story as an old man in the future, intertwining his memories of that summer along with the reverberating consequences in his life.
The story revolves primarily around the Bliss family - lawyer Autopsy Bliss, who issued the invitation; his wife Helen, who fears the rain and hasn't left her home in over a decade; his older son Grand, a popular high school athlete and town "god", younger son Fielding; and Grayson Elohim, a religious man who mourns the death of his fiancée and, unbeknownst to anyone, is nursing a grudge.
McDaniel is a very poetic writer, but at times metaphors seemed forced, with awkward phrasing and grammar that detracts from the story. The multiple issues, and their weightiness, can also be overwhelming. The primary theme is that our understanding of good and evil is based primarily on assumptions and expectations. McDaniel challenges this premise by presenting the devil as an innocent boy. Elohim, a Jewish name for God, assumes the evil element. Sal quickly becomes a victim of racism, as the white townspeople eagerly accept his claim and freely pin all blame on the black boy. The homophobic element culminates in a parable about Century, a Christ-like figure shunned for an unnatural act.
While an excellent book club selection with much material for discussion, it is by no means for everyone. It deals with heavy, controversial topics, lots of death and will leave you bereft. While you may not enjoy it or agree with its message, its novelty will stay with you long after the book is done, and that is quite an accomplishment for any author.

Albury Organic Vineyard is situated in the Surrey Hills near the village of Albury and operates a fully organic and biodynamic wine estate. It was founded and managed by Nick Wenman in 2008 to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning a vineyard! Nick is joined by Alex Valsecchi, an experienced horticulturist who works with RHS Wisley, and serves as the vineyard manager.
Grown on the estate are the traditional Champagne varietals of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in order to create high quality, English sparkling wines. More recently, Albury Organic Vineyards has crafted a still rose wine, made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, and this was served on board the Royal Barge for the Queen's diamond jubilee!
Located a stones throw from the vineyard are the Silent Pool Distillers, with whom the vineyard enjoys a friendly relationship. From a blend of their grapes, a brandy was created for Albury Vineyard known as the Duke's Reserve.

|la push--second beach
disclosure and editorial notes: marni campbell is one of my best friends in the entire world as well as my sister-in-law. but if i weren't related to her, i would still think she was completely rad. when i got my first teaching job, fresh out of an m.f.a. program with zero training in how to teach, marni midwifed me through the ordeal (that took about 5 years of panicky calls and questions and patient coaching). i still call her when i face a tough classroom problem.
she's a beautiful writer, as you'll see, and her essay about her student teaching days ("night: feed my lambs"--think stand by me meets freedom writers meets dangerous minds) is one that i frequently use when teaching personal narrative, and it's always a student favorite.
most importantly, as a school administrator, she fights the good fight every single day for justice and equality in the schools. she makes the tough, unpopular calls on behalf of students with disabilities, students of color, economically disadvantaged students, and works harder than anyone i know to create a better system for all children.
i'm in awe of her.
Tell us about yourself—and are you in a tight place? If so, what are you trying to do about it?
Last week on President's day I drove and ferried with my daughter to LaPush, on the far western side of the Olympic Peninsula. There is not much there but a few cabins on the Quileute reservation, the generously named "Oceanside Resort," sitting on the edge of the mighty Pacific. The very edge. When you're there, your senses are filled by the presence of the ocean. Your ears and eyes and nose are mostly busy taking it in. Conversations, books, food, music, memory—all fade and flatten in the great greyness. My husband says I love it because I want to be at land's end, the edge of nothingness, perched on the verge of escape. I don't know what I think I'm escaping, but I know that I am drawn to these places—escarpments, diving boards, fences, waterfalls--where I could fly or leap or leave and forget myself altogether.
My earliest joyful childhood memory is of walking through our suburban neighborhood in the middle of a hot summer weekday afternoon, alone. I was probably four years old. I remember the heavy sound of cicadas, the sun burning my shoulders, walking barefoot along the edge of the street to catch the water running off of lawns from sprinklers. I was alone but not lonely, lost but not scared. A garbage truck drove by, slowed, and stopped. A man on the back of the truck called out to me to put the straps of my terry-cloth romper back up on my shoulders (did they slip? Did I pull them off?). I was so embarrassed, and probably bothered by his intrusion into my adventure.
I have been thinking about the tight places in my heart and mind, places where I am stuck, places I feel I must escape. I have been thinking about thresholds and adventures and shame. My instinct when I reach these tight places is to run or hide or leave myself altogether. I have, for a tangible example, a closet full of untidy purses, filled with receipts and lip glosses and coupons because when they become too full, I replace them with new, pristine purses. From Target.
My daughter flew to Bulgaria two weeks ago where she will stand in the streets and ask people to listen to her message about God, speaking with an awkward new tongue. When she was in seventh grade and I was just beginning to work as a school administrator, she would come into my bedroom late at night and ask me to blow dry her hair. I would be so, so tired, but I would lie in bed, raise my arms, and brush and blow dry her hair until it was a smooth coppery curtain. This hair was essential to her in the seventh grade.
In that same four year old suburban neighborhood, my father used to say, I spoke my first poem, skipping down the street on a bright morning. He claimed I opened my arms, looked at the sky, and said, "O beauteous day!"
I didn't write much poetry until I was pregnant for the first time, when suddenly it seemed absolutely essential that I begin to write with rich, redolent words. That baby is now in Bulgaria. I need to write again. I am still a busy school administrator, responsible for supervising 19 schools in northwest Seattle and my work words are brisk, commanding, precise. I am still exhausted. My kids still need more from me than I can ever give them. I still feel embarrassed by public intrusions, rules, and expectations. I don't yet know how to mother a child who is now perched on the edge of the Black Sea and I don't know if I ever will know how to let my children go. I don't know how to be entirely public, as is so often required, and not be ashamed of my failings and messes—but I know that I can't run away now. Not entirely. So I feel trapped and I blame this for my neglect of poetry.
What do you want to get done this year?
This year I want to write a poem every day, practice music every day, and exercise every day. In this way I believe that I can overcome shame, uncover bad habits, stay honest about who and where I am. I'm trying for incremental goals that focus on process rather than product.
And I need to find a focus for my PhD—that's a process, right?
What inspires you?
Lara and Julie have inspired me with their beautiful and ambitious daily writing.
Sherman Alexie inspires me with his daily e-mails (from Falls Apart Productions, alas, not from him directly) and general brilliance.
I am inspired by my mother, who lives alone and makes a list every day on scrap paper, a t-chart with "today" titling the left column and "ends" titling the right. She has "practice piano," "write," "lunch with Sylvia," and "International Cinema" on those lists, and when she has completed each one she rewrites it under "ends." Product, not process, interests her most.
I am inspired by the Lupita, a Kindergarten student I met on the first day of school this year. She had been dropped off early, a tiny little thing, and could not tell anyone her name. I happened to see her hiding behind a shrub and when I bent down to say hello she started to silently weep. I spent the morning with her on my lap, clinging to me like a starfish. We finally found out her name. By lunchtime she could sit up to the table by herself, with her class, and shyly smile at the other kids. I go back to her school every few weeks if I can, and she runs up to me every single time, jumps into my arms, and then wiggles to the ground and tugs me by the hand to show me her writing, her book bag, and her cubby. I am inspired by her courage, her trust, her brilliance, her resilience.
|appropriate for a district official? you decide.
What is your favorite legwear?
I have been wearing tights religiously since high school. I had a bright red pair that I took to BYU and would wear with a black corduroy mini-dress. Not the red lipstick my mother constantly advised me to wear, but the siren call of those red tights I believe drew my first heart-breaking BYU boyfriend to me.
I pulled out a pair from the clearance bin at Fred Meyer a few months ago, not realizing that they had a flamboyant black and grey zig-zag pattern. I feared they might be too wild for a district official, but I love them! With striped skirts! With all-black ensembles! With boots of all kinds! Tights are private and public, warm and cool, comforting and liberating. They are the perfect gear for taking leaps, going underground, getting lost, or being found.

The New York Times published a story today about some of the provisions of the Health Reform Bill passed yesterday by the House of Representatives. Among these provisions that will have immediate social impact is the change to the tax laws governing domestic partner benefits offered to employees:
"Under the bill, such benefits would be tax-free, just like health benefits provided to the family of an employee married to a person of the opposite sex."
Currently, they are treated as taxable income, preventing many who are qualified for the benefit from signing up.
Thanks to Michael at http://torqopia.blogspot.com/ for bringing it to my attention.

Halo 2 Vista
Halo 2 Vista project lead Jo Clowes says it only takes about two minutes to start playing from the moment a user inserts the Halo 2 DVD into his PC. While the user plays, Tray and Play actually installs the game in the background—without adversely affecting performance, according to Microsoft's internal testing. Users can check on the installation process by going in the game's main menu and checking on a progress bar, and they can even quit the game and let it resume the installation next time they play.
