After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office.
Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.
You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
If you like classic detective fiction, you'll find comforting familiarity with this contemporary crime novel. The pacing is done well, so that you feel really engaged with the story the whole way through. Not being British, I have no idea how close to reality the concept of the crime and the major players are, but it didn't feel forced. Robin is a great character, Cormoran is a great character, and the way characters were described in the story was wonderfully complete.
In terms of the mystery, I did entertain the notion of whodunnit, and it turns out I was correct but I didn't see the whole backstory coming. I wouldn't say there's a shocking twist, or anything terribly surprising, but neither did Galbraith/Rowling project the ending too early.
Overall, I found it a good, quick read and I look forward to the next novel in the series. Also, props to Rowling for having a disabled main character. When we talk about books needing diversity, there's a lot of emphasis on sexuality, gender, and racial diversity…it's just as important to have a realistic portrayal of disabilities, and I think this is the first time I've felt that.

LIVINGSTON — A state court judge found no probable cause Monday for the prosecution of former Livingston Parish contractor Corey delaHoussaye on allegations of overbilling, but prosecutors said they will move the case forward to trial anyway.
"Just because they wear black robes doesn't mean they're always right," District Attorney Scott Perrilloux, of the 21st Judicial District, said outside the courtroom after the ruling. He declined further comment.
Prosecutors contend delaHoussaye billed the parish for hours he wasn't actually working on wetlands mitigation and burn site closures after Hurricane Gustav. DelaHoussaye faces 54 counts of falsifying public records and five counts of theft related to his billing.
DelaHoussaye's attorney, John McLindon, said he was happy with state Judge Brenda Ricks' ruling, though a bit surprised the district attorney was pressing forward with the case.
"Occasionally that happens, but in this case, you've got a grand jury that failed to indict and now a judge that failed to find probable cause," McLindon said. "This needs to be put to bed."
McLindon said he blamed the state Inspector General's Office for conducting a "very poor, half-baked investigation."
Jessica Webb, a criminal investigator with the Inspector General's Office and the state's only witness Monday, said records from delaHoussaye's golf club, two gyms and a cosmetic clinic in Baton Rouge showed he was charging the parish for work while he played golf, tanned, worked out and had liposuction, botox, hormone therapy and other cosmetic treatments.
Webb walked the court through the charges count by count, detailing the receipts, tee schedules and electronic card swipes supporting the state's case.
By Webb's tally, delaHoussaye had billed the parish $8,700 while he played golf and drank Patron at Greystone Golf & Country Club in Denham Springs; $4,930 while he had cosmetic procedures and hormone therapy at the Aesthetic Medicine & Anti-Aging Clinic in Baton Rouge; $2,175 while he worked out at Spectrum Fitness; $797.50 while he tanned at Anytime Fitness; and $580 while he worked on an unrelated project in another parish.
DelaHoussaye's firm billed the parish $2.3 million for its Gustav cleanup. He has been paid $1.9 million to date.
McLindon challenged Webb on her findings, noting that on many of the days delaHoussaye is accused of being off the job, he billed the parish for eight hours in a nine-hour time frame. How delaHoussaye spent that unbilled hour was at his discretion, McLindon argued.
McLindon also pressed Webb for more information about who prompted her investigation, what authority she had to conduct it and whether she really understood the political context of the parish's Gustav storm cleanup program.
Webb testified that parish legal adviser Christopher Moody, an appointee of the district attorney, had asked the Inspector General's Office to investigate delaHoussaye's billing. But on cross-examination, she admitted she never spoke with the former parish president, the Parish Council or the federal agencies delaHoussaye was working with regarding his billing or his work under the parish contract.
Webb said she had not compared delaHoussaye's time sheets to his phone records or — despite seizing computers and other electronic devices from his home — his emails to determine whether he had actually worked more hours than he billed.
She testified that although she subpoenaed delaHoussaye's medical and gym records, the golf records were provided by Moody's office. Webb said she was unaware that Moody had gotten those records from attorneys for International Equipment Distributors — the debris removal firm that delaHoussaye reported for alleged illegal work after the 2008 storm.
Pressed further by McLindon, Webb admitted she had no real knowledge of the parish's other Gustav contractors, delaHoussaye's status as a whistleblower regarding those companies' work or the federal arbitration ruling denying $59 million in costs associated with the debris removal.
Webb also testified that she was unaware that state law required the Inspector General's Office to release a report of its investigative findings, or that the judges who granted her subpoena requests were required to give written reasons for granting them.
Webb told McLindon she understood that the inspector general can investigate only covered agencies, but she could not state which covered agency she believed had hired delaHoussaye. The Parish Council is not a covered agency.
Assistant District Attorney Greg Murphy said McLindon's concerns about how the investigation was conducted should be handled through a motion to suppress evidence — a motion McLindon said was likely to follow Monday's ruling. But Ricks said whether Webb had authority to investigate delaHoussaye was "very pertinent" to Monday's hearing.
"If she doesn't have authority to investigate, then what are we doing here?" Ricks said.
Murphy argued there was enough evidence to proceed to trial, particularly regarding days when delaHoussaye's records showed he spent multiple hours at the golf course or in the doctor's office.
"He's saying don't hold him accountable for the hours he billed because he did that work some other time, but his contract says he's paid by invoice," Murphy said. "If he's physically not where the invoices say he is, he can't come back later and have a reason behind that. It should've been reflected in his invoice."
The parish hired delaHoussaye's firm, C-Del Inc., in October 2009 but fired him in August 2011 amid concerns about his invoices.
He has said he "block-billed," or recorded roughly the same hours each day, because his schedule varied widely and because he sometimes had to disguise the hours he worked while he was an FBI informant.
The District Attorney's Office filed an 81-count bill of information against delaHoussaye in December 2013 after a parish grand jury fell one vote shy of indicting him. Prosecutors dropped 22 of those counts Friday.
DelaHoussaye was re-arraigned on the amended bill Monday and again pleaded not guilty to the charges.

There is no age limit, but children under 5 may have difficulty carrying the equipment.
It depends on the day but most games are not usually full – Saturdays are very busy but check our Facebook page for updates.
No waivers are required at this time.
Only parties have reserved spots for games. Everything else is first come first serve.
Laser tag is a high tech activity that integrates physical action with the fun of a video game. Laser tag is a physical activity, but easy to play for all ages.
We try to fill the games up as much as possible so that there are plenty of people to tag. We can play up to 30 people at a time and try to match everyone up. We don't want people sitting around for a long time waiting for games so we fill them up as much as possible.
Drinks are allowed, and food is allowed – but be respectful. Other people are there to have fun as well.
We do have a shelf in the vesting room, but we are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Dress lightly – We recommend that you wear shoes while playing laser tag since there is a lot of activity.
Every game has a briefing before play begins. We ask that all players pay attention during this time since we do mix up the games that are played.
In order for you to book a party, you will be paying for a minimum of 10 players ($199.90). This does not mean you cant have a party if you only have 8 guests, but you will be charged for a minimum of 10. With this you will receive the party room and party host for 1:45, 2 Pizzas, Unlimited Drinks for your players, and all the paper products. If you go above 16 players, we will order another pizza for your party at no additional charge.
Although we have a 30 player system, we always recommend that you invite no more than 24 players to your party. Most of our parties end up being between 12-15 players. We understand that some adults and siblings of your guests may stay during the party. There is space in the lobby for them to sit and they may purchase games to play on their own if they wish.
Each party requires a reservation and a $50 non-refundable deposit. If you have to cancel your party, you will have a $50 credit towards games on your account.
It depends on what you are planning for your party, but aside from a cake we have everything on site for you to throw a great party! Your party package includes all the paper products needed, and you can add additional food for any guests. We have serving utensils onsite so you do not need a knife for the cake.
We offer 5 themed party rooms that all have something different to offer. Party rooms are assigned based on time booked and size of your party so we cannot guarantee specific party rooms.
You may bring in your own outside food or have it delivered, but there will be a $10 facility charge added to your party. This covers the extra paper products and cleanup associated with outside food. You may bring in your own drinks if you wish at no additional charge.
We will contact you 2 days before your party begins. At this time we would need to know any additional food items you wish to order at this time. We also prefer to get an expected head count so that we can make sure everything is setup for you.
We offer bottles of water, Coke, Sprite, Orange Soda, and Diet Coke. Due to the various opinions on sugar counts in juice, we only offer a juice box product. You may bring in your own drinks if you wish, but water is always the best option.
We try to make sure that your party is playing with a like party or age group, but unless your event fills the entire game you may be playing with other people. The kids like tagging each other as well as teaming up to beat other opponents.
We do offer video games in our lobby and you can add tokens to your party. The video games are more for our walk in traffic to eat up time between games, but if you wish to add tokens to the party just let us know and we will have them ready for you.

But my love for all things Gatsby was catapulted to new levels once I got my hands on the film starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. (If you're a love of fashion do yourself a favour and download it at Netflix) While no cinematic masterpiece, I thank this film for not only introducing me to Redford (the original McDreamy) but also to the timeless style of Ralph Lauren. With cable knit jumpers, immaculate white blazers, three-piece tailored suits and fabulous flapper dresses - it's Lauren at his preppy best.
...so imagine my excitement when I discovered THIS:
These gorgeous carryalls are part of Kate Spade's inspired Book of the Month Collection, which unveils a new 'title' throughout the Fall but is already available for pre-order at www.katespade.com While my taste in accessories is usually understated chic rather than outwardly quirky, this is one clutch I'd happily adopt. Too pretty to be locked away in the closet, I imagine it would look just as eye-catching stacked atop of some well-loved tomes. Who says you shouldn't judge a book by its cover?

It will include a survey of historical developments in Eastern and Western Christian traditions, analysis of a variety of theologies regarding sacred space, and then practical issues on church building, renovation, contemporary expressions of culture, theology and theories.

The UK's scrappage scheme will be extended until the end of March, the government has confirmed
The government had previously set aside £400 million towards the scheme and it was due to run when all the money had been spent or at the end of February, whichever came first.
But not all the scrappage money will be spent by the end of February. In order to stop it remaining unspent, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has moved the deadline by 30 days, to the end of March.
Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, said: "Against the background of the economic downturn the scrappage scheme has proved a great success, driving UK car sales, protecting jobs and supporting the supply chain for car manufacture at a time when this sector needed it most.
"If you're considering buying a new car, you should place your order as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, because the budget is strictly limited."
Since July 2009, year-on-year new car sales in the UK have been up every month, halting 15 consecutive months of decline. Around a quarter of a million new cars were registered under the scheme last year, out of 1.95m total sales.

History of Meadowlark Ridge Elementary SchoolIn 1963, a new school opened in Salina, Kansas. The school was on a block bordered by Greeley Avenue (Glen), Beechwood, Northwood, and Driftwood (Fairdale). The first enrollment was held at Glennifer Hill School as sidewalks and streets were in the process of being paved. The school was originally called Riker-Manor School, but was later officially named Meadowlark Ridge School. The school board selected that name from suggestions submitted by students and parents.Meadowlark was built in the east portion of Salina in a strong growth area. One hundred sixty-three students enrolled in kindergarten through sixth grade. Eight adults made up the entire staff including the custodian and the principal, Miss Erleen Lindeman. The building was composed of seven classrooms, a library, and a multi-purpose.By 1973, the enrollment had grown to 199 students. A new two-room addition was built on the west side of the school that year. The first and second grade students were moved into the new rooms.By the fall of 1980, 248 students were enrolled in the school. That year a second addition to Meadowlark Ridge was approved. This addition was placed at the west end of the school and consisted of three classrooms. In addition, a double-wide trailer was moved just south of the school to house all special programs: learning disabilities, counselor, speech, gifted, and school psychologist.In the summer of 1985, a two-classroom temporary cottage was moved to Meadowlark School. The sixth grade had their classes in this building. The enrollment that fall rose to 316 students.The 1986 enrollment totaled 321 students. Music classes were held in the library and in some of the student's classrooms. Art classes were also in the classrooms. A special bond election was held on April 7 and the voters approved the funds to add five classrooms to the schoool. In the fall of 1987, 335 students were enrolled at Meadowlark Ridge. Construction of the five-classroom addition began in September 1987. The temporary classrooms and double-wide trailer were scheduled to be removed from the premises after the construction was completed. Students participated in a time capsule ceremony with each class contributing items to be placed under the concrete floor. The enrollment at Meadowlark Ridge totaled 338 on March 18, 1988, when the new addition was officially opened.During the summer of 1994, construction began on a two-classroom addition. This addition was completed just two days before school started in the fall. The enrollment at Meadowlark during the 1995-96 school year was approximately 380 students.In January 1996, a new 14-station computer lab was established at Meadowlark Ridge. This state-of-the-art computer center was made possible through the cooperative efforts of the site council, technology committee, parents, and the community.In November of 1998, the citizens of Salina approved a $98 million bond issue to improve school facilities. $3.6 million was spent at Meadowlark Ridge to add 30,000 squre feet of new classroom space as well as remodel the existing building. The dedication of the newly renovated and expanded Meadowlark Ridge Elementary School was held on April 14, 2002, overseen by then-principal Marcy Roth and former superintendent, Dr. Gary Norris.Now, in the Spring of 2015, Meadowlark Ridge has an enrollment of 405 students and has three sections of each grade K-1 and 3-5 and four sections of second grade. Our building also has three EBD classrooms, as well as many classrooms that hold student support services. Every classroom has a Promethean Board installed and each teacher has a class set of Promethean clickers to use with their students. In addition to classroom teachers, students see additional teachers in science, physical education, music, library, and art. In the Spring of 2014, patrons of USD 305 passed a bond issue that added additional space at MLR, including classrooms that will accomodate all-day kindergarten, a science lab, and a storm shelter. Construction was completed in April 2016, with a ribbon cutting ceremony held May 9, 2016.

I often say that there's no such thing as family secrets.
People express their darkest secrets in their everyday lives.
Secret-keepers (and their children) carry heavy emotional burdens.
If you are hiding secrets, you are probably hiding strong emotions.
You may feel anger, fear or distress if you suspect that
someone knows or may talk about your secrets!
When do family secrets start? Many things can be "starts"
- finding a family member's secret bottles, hidden porn or letters from
overly friendly friends - but those are not starts. Alcohol, pornography
or extra-marital affairs are single frames of movies that started a long time ago.
Laundry workers are experts on stains,
and they might tell you a surprising amount about your life based
on the stains on your clothes. As we help people clean up their
emotional laundry baskets, we have learned some important
things about emotional stains ... and we have become rather
effective at emotional stain-removal.
We help people unpack and sort out their emotional baggage. We
can recognize many behaviors that
suggest certain emotional or relationship problems.
We often see what people cannot say.
Disclosing family secrets can be difficult. Both telling
and not-telling can have strong consequences. For example, if a child
uses a parent's computer and finds pornography or emails about extra-marital affairs - that
child may confront the parent, or tell the other parent, or delete the files,
or say and do nothing. Actions have emotional and
relationship consequences. Sometimes there's no easy way out.
Doing nothing or pretending to forget may seem the
safest and easiest course of action, but suppressing emotions often has toxic
consequences - for yourself, your partner and your children. Secrets motivate
obsessions, compulsions or fixations. Some people put their lives
on hold or avoid further relationships. Clarity may be painful, but it
can help avoid depression
and help manage grief and loss.
Family secrets can trigger strong emotions. If a
conversation gets too close to the truth, or if you are
unsure whether or not your secret is still secret, you may feel
and express anger, fear, sadness or guilt. You will likely confuse your family,
and perhaps start a chain reaction which can affect your
children and even future generations.
Some people cannot maintain healthy relationships.
They may be unable to enjoy healthy partnership or parenthood
until they clarify and assimilate their family secrets!
Relationship disappointments such as abuse,
abandonment, suicide, abortion and betrayal leave imprints
on people, their families and their children, which result
in obsessions, fixations and compulsions.
Do you have unwanted habits of thought, speech or behavior?
Are you making choices – or repeating past behaviors, rather like a
laboratory animal in a maze? (While many people repeat what
works - some people endlessly repeat what doesn't work!)
The Sanskrit word karma implies that individual
actions can trigger cycles of cause and effect; cycles that may continue
after the death of the body. By family karma, I refer to actions
that trigger similar cycles in subsequent generations. Family karma continues
until families manage or change whatever created it.
Family karma (like money karma) often begins with habits learned
in childhood - habits that were imprinted into our minds. You cannot free yourself
of such habits by avoiding thinking about them or by understanding them.
(Did your parents want to free themselves of their parents' habits? Are
you repeating their life path?)
Your parents' secrets probably still influence your relationships,
your career and your everyday behavior. Recognizing and healing
their habits in your mind can liberate you. We help people heal such
end self-sabotage and realize their dreams.
I am married but I am obsessed by a
man I work with, although I don't like him,
his friends or what he does with his
life. When I described him to my mother,
she said that she had a secret romance
with a man rather like him,
but that she would not leave my father. She
also said that HER
had mentioned a similar romance.
Family secrets often concern relationship problems that
cause people to split-off parts of themselves (often
called inner children).
Do you want to integrate your split-off parts, and
experience integrity - the Soul of our Soulwork?
You react to your parent's secrets ...
even if you were never told!
The best gifts you can give to your children may be to sort out your own
emotions, to build a healthy partnership and to be a happy, responsible parent.
Can you and your partner can express mature love for each other?
Your children react to your secrets ...
even if you never told them!
If you lack healthy partnership skills, then you may hand down relationship problems, loneliness, depression and guilt to your
children ... and later to their children ... and so on, across the
generations. Let's look at some literature ...
Yet He does not leave the guilty
unpunished; He punishes
the children and their children for the sins of the parents
to the third and fourth generations.
New International Bible, Exodus 34:7
Imber-Black wrote (Secret Life of Families, 1998) "a child's
knowledge of a secret may distort family power dynamics, alienate a child
from one or both parents, and isolate him or her from siblings".
Lerner wrote (Dance of Deception, 1993) "The negative
effects of secrecy on children may stay underground for years, even decades,
until the child reaches a key anniversary age or a particular stage in the
family life cycle". He also wrote, "In the shadow of secrecy,
children are especially vulnerable to acting out or developing symptoms".
Earle & Earle wrote (Sex Addiction: Case Studies and Management, 1995)
"The secrets of parents cannot help but prove destructive to the child.
... Secrets creep into every aspect of family living, creating high levels of
psychological stress, pressure, and tension. ... Children may not even be
consciously aware of the family secrets, but these secrets seldom escape
the unconscious."
Carl Jung said (Disclosure to Children, Claudia
Black, 2003), "The most important gift a parent can
give a child is to tell them about their dark side. Telling
children about your struggles helps them developmentally to
have a realistic picture of what it means to be human".
All my life I felt guilty. During our sessions I
realized that I always felt a presence in front of me
... like an older brother. My parents won't talk about their
abortion but you helped me deal with it,
and now I can better relax and enjoy life ...
Your life purpose is an
evolving destination that mirrors your maturity.
We help adults define and achieve their
desires, and solve their relationship problems and emotional
conflicts. As examples, do you want to:
We help people sort out their emotional baggage. We offer structure,
support and feedback to help people develop their awareness, manage
their emotions and improve their relationships.
Resolve your ancestral secrets or family karma
before your children attempt to repeat them.
Are you repeating your parents' or
grandparents drama?

Former couple Chris Evans and Minka Kelly have sparked rumors of a reconciliation after they were photographed together over the weekend (05-06Sep15).
The Captain America star and Kelly were spotted walking their dogs together on Saturday in California.
Evans and Kelly began dating in 2007, but parted ways before reuniting in 2012. Their relationship ended again in 2013, but, in early 2014, rumors suggesting the pair had began dating again circulated, but neither Evans nor Kelly commented on the reports.
Representatives for the actors have yet to comment on the latest romance story.
Kelly previously dated retired baseball ace Derek Jeter from 2008 to 2011, while Evans romanced actress Jessica Biel from 2004 to 2006 and was linked to British beauty Alice Eve in 2013.

|Lampwork Vessel Bottle - Amulet Pendant - "Irama"
"Irama" means "Happiness of the Earth" in the ancient Sanskrit language.
Here is a GORGEOUS lampwork vessel or amphora bottle creation.
It can be filled with a small amount of your favorite perfumes or essential oils,
sand from your favorite beach, or even put a tiny scroll inside with a poem or
wish on it. My vessels have even been used for cremains keepsakes.
Contrasting colors of Red and Turquoise create a beautiful design over the
glass. Vessel is kiln annealed and then a polymer clay piece is designed around
the bottle and baked to create a crystal and gemstone amulet from the bottle.
Quartz crystal point and Red Coral and Turquoise beads in the design.
Bali Silver Spacers, Head Pins, and Beads. Largest daisy spacer is
Handles are wire worked with a non-tarnish silver wire.
Bottle Amulet measures 3 and 3/8 inches tall, (or 86 millimeters), from top of
wire wrapped loop to bottom point of crystal. It measures approx 1 and 9/16
inches, (or 39 millimeters), across at handles.
Opening of bottle is 5.5mm and this same width goes straight down into the
vessel to the bottom forming the hollow space.
Vessel has a removable cork stopper that fits tightly.
Vessel can be worn on a chain or cord for a necklace or hung in a special place.
**Sterling silver chain does not come with this vessel.
Vessel and topper bead were lovingly hand torched by me and have been
properly kiln annealed.

This blog is brought to you by: one stressed out college student!
Baking calms my nerves and is my favorite way to decompress. I grew up between Seattle and New Orleans and am now living in Chicago. All of these cities have had a huge impact on the way I approach baking, and food in general. These days I have a lot of friends who are vegan or gluten free (or both), and since I tend to push my baked goods onto my buddies I've been experimenting with recipes that cater to these crowds. I have to admit though, it's tough to let go of the Holy Trinity of southern baking– Fat, Flour, Sugar.
I'm always on the lookout for new recipes or cooking techniques and I friggin' LOVE feedback. So if you've got any tips, recipes, questions, or comments you want to throw my way, please do!

The Determined NYIT Women's Basketball Team
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Women's basketball is coming off their best season in program history. Coming off a semifinal loss in the ECC Championship playoffs to Roberts Wesleyan, the Bears made a statement in the NCAA Division II tournament. Led by Dina Ragab and Shannon Duer, NYIT won two games (most in program history) in the tournament but lost in the East Regional Championship to Bentley. NYIT finished their historical season with a 26-9 record.
This year, in the 2016-2017 ECC Women's Basketball Preseason Poll, the Bears finished 2nd in the polls as they look to repeat their historical season and add some hardware along with that. With the exception of team leading scorer Dina Ragab, the Bears have most of their players back. Led by Captain Shannon Duer, NYIT looks to make a statement once again in not only the ECC but the NCAA as well. Duer, earning honorable mention 2016-2017 NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Preseason All-America list, finished last year with 10.8 points per game and 11 rebounds per game. She had the third most rebounds in a single season in conference history with 386 rebounds.
"After such an unforgettable year, we are all motivated to get back to the tournament," said Julie Williams, senior guard. "We know it will not be easy and we will have to work hard everyday. With such a supportive group of girls and a great coaching staff, I know that goal is achievable and I'll be enjoying the ride every step of the way."
However, NYIT will have a different voice on the sidelines this year.
After the departure of Head Coach Anthony Crocitto, Kenny Parham will take over NYIT Women's Basketball. From 2009-2016, Parham was the women's varsity basketball coach for St. Anthony's high school. At Saint Anthony's, he helped stop a 23 year program drought after leading the Friars to three New York State Catholic Champion titles and four NSCHSAA titles.
"I am excited about taking over a team after such a successful season they had last year," said Coach Parham. "We have started the pre-season and early practices during the season with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Our goal at this point is to get everyone healthy and continue to work hard and get a little better each day."
Coach Parham brings a winning attitude that the Bears already know well enough. The players have already taken a liking to their new coach.
"Our practices have been very effective with our new head coach," said Nina Vukosavljevic, junior guard. "We're learning so much from him as a team and I think we're getting mentally and physically stronger. We have a lot of returning players, so as long as everyone stays healthy, I think we have a great chance to accomplish great things this year. The goal always remains the same… we want to win a championship."
Shannon, Julie, Shanice Allen, Sofia Georgiadi and Kesi Goree look to finish off their collegiate career as champions and for NYIT to continue its success from last year. With hard work and determination, the Bears will accomplish great things this year.
For more information on NYIT Women's Basketball, follow the Bears on facebook, instagram and twitter @nyitbears.

A Year's Supply Of is a website which features a variety of unique and interesting subscription-based gifts. We were approached to design their logo and visual identity.
We began by looking into the current market trends and competition to define where we wanted to position the brand in the market place. The target audience is affluent people, mostly female, in their 30s-50s who are looking for unique and boutique-style gifts.
We decided that the identity should be slightly feminine, with an understated charm and quirkiness that reflects the unique range of gifts found within.
The competitor research stage gave us, and the client, a good understanding of where they wanted to be positioned and perceived in their market.
A couple of rounds of creative concepts resulted in a few possible directions to go down, we worked to refine the desired route and extrapolated a working colour scheme and accompanying typeface to be used across their website and other materials.
The tag line "for people who give great gifts" was initially considered to be integrated into the logo itself, but was eventually adapted to become a separate ribbon element that can accompany the logo across future applications. This gives more flexibly to the brand and helps to further communicate the core message.
The resulting identity is a clean and elegant, yet friendly and approachable. With future applications in mind, the brand mark can be easily scaled and printed, etched, and stamped onto almost anything.

DENVER, CO. – A worker's compensation surveillance operative who was shot four times by someone he was watching last week likely survived only because he was wearing a backpack, according to a police affidavit.
The shooter told police he thought he was firing at a bear. The surveillance operative said he'd been "yelled at" by the shooter minutes before the shooting. The shooter is facing a charge of attempted first degree murder.
In the affidavit, a Jefferson County sheriff's deputy wrote that he'd been dispatched at 6 pm on August 4 to a road in the foothills southwest of Denver on a report of someone claiming he'd been shot by someone firing a shotgun.
The operative – whose name is withheld here for his safety - told officers he was conducting an investigation regarding possible insurance fraud. Court records indicate he was working for Pinnacol Assurance, Colorado's largest worker's compensation insurance provider. It regularly retains private investigators to watch employees who have submitted worker's compensation claims, to try to obtain video documenting that the employee is not injured, not injured as severely as they claim, or not hampered by the injury in the way they claim.
The operative told sheriff's deputies he'd been watching Marshall Lawson's residence from about 100 yards away. Somehow Lawson became aware of the operative's presence about three hours after the operative initiated surveillance. The operative says Lawson "yelled at" him, telling him he was going to get a gun.
The surveillance operative said that soon thereafter he saw Lawson return with a gun and aim it at him. He says he heard two shots. He says he then started running up a hill away from Lawson, and heard two more shots.
The operative told sheriff's deputies he couldn't get a signal on his cell phone, so he walked to his car, drove toward town, and called 911 as soon as his cell phone was in a coverage area. When he placed the call, he didn't think he'd been hit by any bullets. But while he was waiting for police to respond, he found two bullet holes in the backpack he'd been wearing, according to the affidavit.
Sheriff's deputies went to Marshall's residence and found three spent .22 caliber casings in the driveway, about 10 feet from the road. A fourth was found in a .22 caliber rifle recovered at the residence of one of Marshall's grandfathers, who lives next door.
According to the affidavit, Marshall acknowledged firing a rifle, but he denied knowing there was a man on the hill when he fired. He told a sheriff's deputy he thought he was shooting a "black object that he presumed to be a bear."
The twenty-seven-year-old Marshall is facing charges of attempted first degree murder and attempted first degree assault. He's being held on $150,000 bond. A judge ordered that in the event he posts bond, he's not to have any contact with Pinnacol Assurance.

'We can do what no men have ever done – build a world freed from the tyranny of all war.'
Published by Sourcebooks in the U.S.
YALTA, 4 February 1945: The moment in which our modern world is shaped. The Second World War is coming to an end and the three most powerful men on earth meet to thrash out the details of peace.
There is the cantankerous Winston Churchill, the idealistic but ailing Franklin Roosevelt, and the butcher Joseph Stalin, snake-like in his cunning. They are supposedly allies, but over eight days these men will lie, cheat and deceive each other as they struggle to establish an agreement and secure their places in history.
Meanwhile, as the smoke continues to rise above Europe, a Polish soldier tries to find his daughter in ruins of Warsaw. He is a man who has already been betrayed by Hitler and Stalin, and now his fate lies in the ageing hands of Winston
Churchill. The two men become involved in an extraordinary battle for survival, as the destiny of a small girl and half the world lies in the balance.
Michael Dobbs has written a riveting historical novel that brings the passions of the period dramatically alive. It vividly rekindles not only the perils that lie in store for those who wield power, but also the heroism and suffering of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.
"Brings the quartet to a resounding close. Dobbs conjures up Roosevelt's stricken response beautifully. He is a fine writer… and captures the spirit of the thing." Daily Telegraph.
"This novel is a triumph." The Times.
"Dobbs writes with passion. Furiously told and compelling… Churchill's Triumph is a thinking man's bestseller." The Guardian.
"His portrait of Churchill is as masterly as ever… and in the tragedy of Poland burning while statesmen fiddled, Dobbs has found a theme worthy of his powers." Sunday Telegraph.
"Brilliant… full of magnificently dark political characters." Daily Mail.
"Intrigue, political scandal and government treachery… Dobbs demostrates why he is the master." Times Literary Suppplement.
"Absorbing… The book vividly brings to life one of the pivotal events of the twentieth century. Impeccably researched." Glasgow Herald.
"A gripping read, a compelling story, expertly told." The Scotsman.
"I've rarely ever felt so involved or so moved by a historical novel." Professor John Ramsden, author of "Man of the Century".
"Dobbs clearly has an instinctive feel for what makes powerful men tick." The Mail on Sunday.
"A moving story of human tragedy you won't want to put down." Sunday Post.
"A brilliant drama tracing the human side of the leaders who held the future of the world in their hands." Yorkshire Post.
"The drama and despair of this momentous meeting are captured perfectly and Dobbs shows a rare talent for reading between the lines of official history." The Northern Echo.
"A huge success." Sunderland Echo.
"Brings the passion of war to life." Teeside Evening Gazette.
"Dobbs presents the historical facts with such skill and pace, it becomes a rattling good yarn… Another winner." Nottingham Evening Post.

I am often asked by my friends how do I always manage to have a small bag when going on trips. This applies both to business travel, and also to my personal trips and vacations.
Over the years, the content of my bags has changed a lot, from large trolley bags filled with stuff that I did not even use, to a small, correctly packed cabin bag. My toiletry bag also evolved a lot, from a few items stored in one of the backpack's pockets, to a small but complex set of products.
First of all, let me share a few general tips to start with:
• If you are traveling with carry-on luggage only, you need to be aware of the rules for carrying liquids on board: Passengers are allowed to carry liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes that are 100ml or less per container.
• Check what items you can leave behind or decrease the quantity (if you are on a 2 days' city break you do not need to take on huge bottles of shampoo, shower gel, etc)
• Use small re-fillable containers. You can purchase travel containers that can be found in various sizes and fill them with your desired products.
• Pack multi-purpose grooming items. There are a lot of 3 in 1 products like shower gel/shampoo/face wash.
• Shop for the basics at your destination. I won't pack an item in my bag if it can be purchased for less at my travel destination.
Now, let's get to the detailed content, of what I currently use, and based on that you can create your own personal version of the perfect kit:
• Deodorant: This is probably the bulkiest item in the kit. A roll-on deodorant is preferable because it's smaller and lighter. My personal favorite is the Vichy Extreme Control Anti Perspirant. Its plastic container is very light, and it gives you the sweat protection that you need on hot summer day.
• Perfume: You should always pack your favorite perfume in a 30 ml or 50 ml bottle. Most designers also have travel packs which are lighter.
• Toothpaste: There are a lot of tooth paste brands that you can choose from. I use one for sensitive teeth and almost all brands have small travel versions. Also, you can find toothpaste in any super market around the world, so if you run out you can always buy one.
• Toothbrush: At home, I use an electric toothbrush, but when traveling it will take up too much space so I go for a regular, slim handle toothbrush.
• Pack of gum: To keep my mouth fresh. I'll keep this somewhere accessible like in one of the backpack's pockets
• Travel floss: A small-size dental floss kit is very handy to keep with you.
• Lip balm: I Choose one made of all natural ingredients and preferably in the smallest size available.
• Face Moisturizer: Independent on where you are traveling, in hot or cold climate, your skin needs protection. I always use the Vichy Hydra mag c+ anti-fatigue hydrating crème. It helps moist dry skin and if you put it on before going to sleep, you will feel refreshed when you wake up.
• Sun screen: Wear sunscreen. Even if it's in a hot climate or when you are snowboarding on the mountaing top, you skin needs to be protected.
• Wet and dry wipes: You never know when you spill something on your pants, or you are going to a meeting and your shoes need a little cleaning.
• Shaving supplies: Depending on your preference, you can take a disposable shaving blade or an electrical shaver, plus a small shaving cream. I personally wear a beard, and I only take my electrical shaver when I travel for more than 1 week. If not, my tip is to trim your beard before you leave and let it grow during your trip.
• Medication: I always take with me a few painkillers, band aids and hand sanitizer Don't forget to take with you any prescription medication you are taking at the moment.
• Shampoo: Shampoo is very important, especially if you have sensitive hair. For example, I use an anti-dandruff shampoo and only a few brands work for me.
• Comb: if your hair is medium or long you need a small comb for a perfect fix.
• Styling products: Depending on your need and preference, you can get a small tube of hair spray, gel or foam.
The man essential list is not that long, and all of it can fit perfectly in a small toiletry bag in order to stay organized and be able to pull it out at the airport security check.
Grooming and personal products are available pretty much anywhere, so if you forget anything or if you are traveling for a long period, you can buy them from your destination and you can use the freed up space in your luggage for other things you need to carry.

As of yesterday I am back in the LA LA land,* and today I resume my day job. Wah, waahhhh. Now that I'm back in Los Angeles I'm really missing glorious places like Arches National Park in Utah. I'm sure that at night in dreams I'll go back there.* With all those rocks taunting us, Arches seemed like the perfect place to film a rock DANCE VIDEO!! So "At Night in Dreams" by White Denim will sing us their rock "lullaby" and we'll take a trip back to this breathtaking place. Los Angeles, you have pop/rock and alternative rock,etc, etc, but check out Utah's unique genre of ROCK.
Hope you had an amazing holiday weekend!*Los Angeles to all those who are not familiar with the nicknames of this city.
**Well, not really, although it could be true that I've dreamt about the place in all its splendor, it was just a cute way for me to add in the song title of today's DANCE VIDEO.
Special thanks to:
Colin Campbell for filming and editing this dancy dance concoction.
Our extra at the end of the film, whose name I did not catch, but who did an awesome job!
The Arches for making me so happy I could not stop dancing. Nature is good for the soul & the soul is where dance moves come from.

Girl group G.r.l. has officially parted ways.
Over the weekend (ends30May15), members Paula Van Oppen, Natasha Slayton, Lauren Bennett and Emmalyn Estrada hinted at a possible break-up on social media, with Bennett writing on Twitter, "Thank u all for ridin with GRL thru the tough times... I know it's all a bit confusing but I love you all, and care (sic) never forget."
The split rumors swirled months after the fifth member of the group, Simone Battle, committed suicide at the age of 25.
On Tuesday (02Jun15), representatives for G.R.L. confirmed the split speculation with a statement which reads: "Nearly 9 months following the tragic death of band member Simone Battle, girl group G.R.L. announces today that they are disbanding. We wish them continued success in each of their next creative endeavors."
Originally conceived as a new version of the Pussycat Dolls by choreographer Robin Antin, the quintet was formed in 2013 and managed by Britney Spears' longtime manager, Larry Rudolph.
They scored a hit song as a featured artist on Pitbull's Wild Wild Love last year (14), and later released a self-titled EP, but the group never produced a debut album.
In January (15), Bennett told Billboard that they were planning on carrying on without Battle, and hoping to keep her legacy alive with their music.
She said, "There was never a question that we weren't going to break up. We didn't know what was going to happen - we really didn't even think about it. We just got back together and just continued to do what we're doing today, to stay close, and that's just how it is. That's where we are now."

The blog posts aren't quite flowing as freely as they were. So here's one to catch us up.
My latest article on Crafty Places is called "Scrap a Feeling." I had the idea for it back in May when I took the photos at Mammaw's house. I completed the 4 pages at the weekend crop in October. I love when I have ideas that come together. Since this layout was pretty well thought out, it was very easy to execute. Next time though, I will have my writing done in advance. I spent about 30 minutes pre-writing my thoughts.
I submitted another article last week, so I'll let you know when it is posted as well. It's the most recent layout I did. It's fairly simple, but I love how it turned out.
Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Are you hosting or travelling? John and I are hosting both of our families here again this year. I'm looking forward to it. I unearthed a couple fall table cloths I bought last year on clearance. I'm pretty psyched for it. Even though the house is a disaster... yesterday I was viciously attacked by a dust bunny in the hallway. I dust-busted his ass pretty quickly, but I heard the menacing threats of his buddies who are still in hiding. Don't worry... I'll get them.
Are you going shopping on Friday after Thanksgiving? I never used to be into it. But now that we are home for Thanksgiving and I live so close to the shopping, what the heck, I'm in. Last year I went to Target at like 5:30am. It is an experience, that's for sure. I have a little experiment that entertains me for hours in there. I go and stand in front of the most random thing. Act like you are pondering and pondering. Fill your arms as though you are trying to decide. Pretty soon... the people will swarm the aisle like, "Oooh, what's she finding?!" Really, try it with the lamest thing... like batteries or envelopes. Or head to an aisle in a remote corner of the store. And when you've attracted a crowd, move on to another random item.
Hehe. I'll let you know how it all goes. With any luck, by the end of the week I will have a turkey dinner and some early morning shopping behind me. And maybe on Friday I will get some work done on the Christmas gifts I have been hoping to MAKE.
Have a lovely week.

A planned merger between the German and London stock exchanges would be essential in maintaining economic ties between Germany and the UK in the event of a Brexit, the head of the German exchange has said.
Although the merger was announced by the companies in mid-March, stockholders will vote on the deal after the referendum has taken place, to allow them to factor the result into their decision making.
But speaking to The Telegraph, Carsten Kengeter, the ardently pro-European Union (EU) chief executive of Deutsche Boerse, has said that a Brexit wouldn't damped the merger; to the contrary it may even enhance its role in forging cross-continental links.
"I want the UK to stay part of the EU, but if it's not, the link we would provide between the Continent and the UK would be key," he said.
Last week shareholders received a 1,000 page document outlining the planned merger, which include the likelihood of 1,250 jobs being lost across the two companies. But Mr. Kengeter said the deal would put the two exchanges on a more secure footing going forwards.
And he said that this attempt at a merger is going more smoothly than previous attempts.
"The previous attempts, one party or maybe both parties didn't want to have that conversation. This time, it's been cordial from the beginning," he said.
"This sector is quite an idiosyncratic sector. It becomes quite difficult when the structure is based on an acquisition as it means one party is being overpowered. I don't think that's very healthy for stability. The merger concept allows all regulated entities to keep their existing regulator."
Mr. Kengeter added that, despite some industry concerns over the clearing houses working closely together, the deal will give regulators comparable data on risks via both LCH.Clearnet in London and Eurex in Frankfurt.
