Boxscore PDF
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team burst into the scoring column with two goals, but it was a pair of early scores by host Indiana State that proved to be too much to overcome, falling 4-2.
The Skyhawks (1-6-1) found their groove on offense, as juniors Alyssa Curtis and Michelle Calmeyn each tallied their first goals of the season against Indiana State. Curtis and Calmeyn each tallied four shots, with Calmeyn leading the team with three shots on goal. Curtis tallied two shots on goal while freshman Ellie Myrick contributed one on the afternoon.
In goal the Skyhawks leaned on junior Mariah Klenke. Klenke registered three saves on the afternoon while allowing four goals in 90 minutes of play.
Indiana State wasted little time getting on the board, scoring their first goal of the day just eight minutes in. Abby Reed used a well-placed cross into the box which Kate Johnson used to beat the keeper and score into an empty net at the 7:12 mark.
The Sycamores sailed five more kicks before Amy Maksimowicz tallied the first shot for the Skyhawks at the 24:23 mark, sailing just wide.
In the 29th minute it was Reed who registered a goal of her own to push the Indiana State lead out to 2-0. Sydney Lovelace used a cross across the box to find Reed for her fourth goal on the season, off a header.
UT Martin would respond just four minutes later as Curtis capitalized on an opportunity for her first goal of the season. Curtis took a rebound off the goal and found the back of the net at the 32:46 mark to bring the Skyhawks within one goal, trailing 2-1.
At the break, Indiana State held a 13-2 advantage over UT Martin in the shot column.
The second half saw the Skyhawks and Sycamores exchange numerous shot attempts until ISU snuck their third goal into the net in the 82nd minute. Johnson found the back of the net for her second time on the day as Sydney Lovelace used an assist off a free kick to set up Johnson for a header, her fourth goal of the season.
Indiana State would find the touch again just five minutes later as Emily Chura found a rebound off a long pass to beat Klenke from 12 yards out, giving the Sycamores a 4-1 lead at the 86:14 mark.
Down but not out, the Skyhawks would respond with a late goal at the 89:56 mark off the leg of Calmeyn. Senior Hannah McGowen rifled a corner kick into the box which Calmeyn quickly swept up and placed into the netting to bring the final score to a 4-2 ISU advantage.
The Skyhawks will be back in action as they continue their four-game road trip with Saint Louis on Friday, Sept. 20. Action is scheduled to get underway at 7 p.m.

Sunday was the final day for the 32nd annual Great Reno Balloon Race this weekend, and organizers of the three day event say the crowds have been huge.
People packed Rancho San Rafael Park each day before sunrise for the Glow Shows, Dawn Patrols and the Mass Ascension Launch.
"It's awesome to see the hot-air balloons when you're standing down on the field, and you see them go up over your head," said Julie Noker of Beckwourth, California. "It's just an experience I love."
It's an event that organizers say brings an estimated few million dollars to our area each year. It's no surprise, seeing as how it brings in people from all over the world.
"The last time we did a survey, it's about 50-50 from out-of-towners and locals," said Pilar Aldecoaotalora, President of the Great Reno Balloon Race. "We do thank everyone for their support, both the out-of-towners and the locals. This is also a year where we have every single balloon with a sponsor."
Vendors like My Favorite Muffin And Bagel Cafe see a steady stream of business from people who need a snack or a caffeine jolt in those early hours.
"For this location, it's quick and easy -- coffee, muffins and bagels, hot cocoa," said Jim Zbella, owner of three My Favorite Muffin And Bagel Cafe shops in Reno and Sparks. "They can just grab something and go get to what they're going to do."
Official event merchandise sales were also high this year.
"I know yesterday, they pretty much ran out of everything," Aldecoaotalora said. "People are very receptive to the merchandise we have in there."
"I like the pins," Noker said. "I usually try to get a pin every year I come. I got coffee cups, of course, and a hat for their 25th anniversary. So, I like to get something momentous."
While the vendors at Rancho San Rafael Park do well, nearby businesses like Archie's Giant Hamburgers And Breakfast get a lot of customers, especially during breakfast-time.
"Yesterday, we had balloon races and a home football game," said Ashlee Hachquet, a server at Archie's. "So, pretty much all-hands-on-deck. Anybody who works here is working and working long hours, but we're happy to do it because it's what we love to do. We see the customers happy and enjoying the food, and everyone makes good money."
On a side note, I asked a number of people what their favorite balloons were this year, and most said the Kissing Fish, and of course, Spider Pig!

Honeymoon Contest Could Help Make Couples' Dreams Come True
Winona, MN (PRWEB) January 2, 2006 –
Couples who dream of the perfect honeymoon could get some help making those dreams come true, thanks to a contest sponsored by two honeymoon-related websites.
Creative Honeymoon Ideas (http://www.CreativeHoneymoonIdeas.info) and Traveler's Joy honeymoon registry (http://www.TravelersJoy.com) have teamed up to sponsor the contest, in which couples describe their dream honeymoon in 300 words or less for a chance to win $ 100. The prize money is deposited in a Traveler's Joy honeymoon registry account; the winning couple has the option of either withdrawing the money, or using the registry to give their wedding guests the chance to contribute toward their honeymoon. Entries will be judged on quality and originality. The winning entry, along with honorable mentions, will be featured at both Creative Honeymoon Ideas and Traveler's Joy as a way of inspiring other couples to dream more creatively about their own honeymoons. The contest runs about 30 days, making the odds of winning much better than in most honeymoon contests.
Creative Honeymoon Ideas helps couples think creatively as they dream about their honeymoon. The site lists some fun, offbeat honeymoon destinations—like a tropical treehouse, or a hotel made of snow and ice (both of which boast honeymoon packages!). But it also suggests more ordinary honeymoon ideas with a creative twist—hidden Hawaii, for instance, or a honeymoon cruise aboard a paddlewheel steamboat.
Traveler's Joy, an online honeymoon registry, specializes in helping couples to make their dream honeymoon a reality. Couples create a free account, build a customized registry complete with honeymoon details and photos, and then send registry notices to their wedding guests. The couple receives a wedding gift they will remember for a lifetime: the perfect honeymoon.
For complete terms and conditions, and to enter the contest, visit http://www.CreativeHoneymoonIdeas.info/contest.htm.

i'm a total twitter addict. twitter.com facebook page: www.facebook.com This is a breakdown of the makeup brushes that I like to bring when I travel, as well as a mini review on Sigma Brushes. ** Please note I do not show every brush in this video, only the ones I am using. The ones that are left out are the 109 Foundation Brush, the 239 Eye Brush and the 219 Pencil Brush. I dont like the 239 its basically only good for a highlight brush for me which is fine, the 109 is kind of prickley but does its job and the 219 isnt as structured and is longer than the MAC 219 so you kind of loose that precision but it still serves its basic purpose.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - The Washington Capitals are on the verge of bringing back forward Eric Fehr.
The Washington Times reported on Saturday that the deal is for $600,000 for the upcoming season, and will become official once Fehr passes a physical and the NHLPA ratifies the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The 27-year-old participated in just 35 games last season for Winnipeg, tallying two goals and one assist. Fehr also recorded 13 goals and 25 points in 21 games in Finland during the lockout.
A first-round pick of Washington in 2003, Fehr spent the first six seasons of his career with the Capitals, posting career highs in goals (21), assists (18), points (39) and games played (69) during the 2009-10 season.
Over 265 NHL games for the Capitals and Jets, the Manitoba native has totaled 48 goals and 96 points.

Very classy look!
Well… the video isn't playing but I love Smashbox! I can imagine they are using the Photofinish Primer which is a staple for me. I have big pores and nothing beats this product! The primer / concealer for the eyes is also a winner I haven't ventured into the general make up other than basics such as eyeliner and mascara but all are great I bought myself a complete tester kit while I was overseas and its AWESOME!!! They are all running low though so some freebies to try out the rest of the range as well, would be AWESOME!!!
really love this look!!….definately going to give it a try
Stunning look ! I love Smashbox
Wow love this winter look. Will def be trying this! Could really do with an amazing hamper to help me out!

Oh My Goodness! What an amazing way to dress up and look good this Winter! In perfect timing as Fashion week is coming up! This is the perfect way to look fabulous as well as use the items that you already have at home. It is easy to change which makes this the perfect way to mak use of your entire wardrobe without really having to break the bank. I absolutely love makeup and watching this has made me feel like a make up artist, because I know I will be capable of recreating this in my own home. A great way to use everything guys. Hats off to you!
Absolutely love this look!!!!! It's perfect for day or night and those romantic evenings out with my BF ♥, I love the fact that Smashbox works wonderfully on any skin tone and it just glides on to skin without making your skin feel heavy and blocked.
Wearing make up and looking beautiful without the heaviness – ITS A WINNER for me!
I adore this look. I especially love the smashbox primer, gonna have to try that definitely. The overall look is so refreshing, look i love my make up but i hate that i need to freshen up every time i go somewhere. This look is subtle, i can do some shopping, go for lunch with hubby, and a tea time chat with my bestie without having to worry about my make up the whole time. So for me the overall look will definitely work!
OMGeeeeee! What a stunning classic clean fresh look. Match this look with some nautical style staples and you've got the prefect look for a day out! Thanks for the great tips and tricks
WOW!! Beautiful look on a beautiful model! Thank you so much for the tips The Primer sounds AMAAAAZING! Gotta get me one of those x
Very classy and pretty look from Smashbox. I love their products and would love to try out this look myself. Thanks for the great makeup tips. I love the Smashbox lipstick that the makeup artist used the most!
I think this is a lovely look. Wearable and versatile.
Fabulous products for a stunning warm winter look! Very helpful tips shown on the video, thanks!
looks easy enough to do as someone with minimal make up experience but looks like it has been done by a pro and you will get complimented as if you are one. I would love to win a hamper to show off my smashbox cosmetics
Very stylish
Absolutely love the look. It's not overdone and accentuates the eyes, which is exactly how I like to apply my make-up. Natural colours on the cheeks and lips, make her look sophisticated and like she puts in some effort to look good, but still looks a bit playful. I would definitely wear it, day or night.
Love this fresh look,love sMashbox make up!
Gorgeous make-up look. The model has a stunning mouth – so loved how they played that up. Such fabulous products and tips.
Effortless, I would try that look!
You don't get better then Smashbox primers! Ive used many and nothing competes with the silky smooth texture of a Smashbox primer. Their eyeshadow apply's beautifully and gives amazing intensity and work so well on photo shoots. One of my firm favourites!! Keep it up:)
Love this look. Definitely going to give it a try!
It's great to see simplicity and class reigning supreme!
Make up should enhance everyone woman's face, not plaster or mask what is underneath.
Yay for smashbox winter look!
I love the look, so simple and classy and great for everyday as well as office, casual or even a date. Love the smashbox products! ♥
Polished, alluring, simple yet sophisticated.
I love this look – it is simple yet beautiful. Very versatile too can be pulled off for work or day out. I love that it can be recreated quickly and gives that natural glow that we all lack in winter!
Winter look is great! I use the photo finish over moisturizer, good to know how they all work together in a nice easy way. I am a big fan! Would love to try the other products. Nice displays at the Woolies too.
I believe the Smashbox primer is the best – I love this look – simple and natural!
I love the look, and i think its important to have different looks for different seasons and occasions..love the video and making it so simple to achieve
I love it so much, I will be trying out this look this weeked
Very impressive. She will definitely be my bridal make-up artist!
Hi there! I believe I'm the lucky winner of the Smashbox hamper! Saturday also happened to be my birthday so a huge thank you to Marie Claire and Smashbox for an awesome birthday present!
Classy and very with it!
classy but cheeky at the same time. very edgy and modern

I'm glad we discovered this gem of a restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- High tea lunchRubabaDined on 9/3/2014First time trying its quarterly high tea lunch. The service is so so. The food looks good on the plates, but the taste is average. You get what you pay for the price. $25 is fair, but could be better on food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food with a good price.cl3228Dined on 9/2/2014Very nice environment. The appetizers and deserts are great but the entree is slightly disappointment. The salmon was overcooked and the cod is on the bland side. The service is good but can be more attentive.Special Features:
- Good Food at Great PriceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/28/2014Very affordable 3-course meal. I went for lunch and was seated immediately. The dining experience did take a lot longer than I expected at a full 1.5 hours, but was well worth the wait. My waitress was a very nervous student. I am aware that it is a culinary school and they're here to learn so I was patient, polite and appreciative of her service. About halfway through dining I inquired about whether I was missing the amuse bouche (which I had received the last time I was here). She did not know the term nor knew what I was asking about. I had to talk to another person on the floor in order to confirm that yes, it should have arrived. All in all it was a good dining experience. I had a lovely time and the food is very well put together.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We were not disappointed. The appetisers were all excellent and varied. The entrees good and the desserts too numerous to sample, although all we tried were delicious. In the 3 weeks we were travelling in Canada it was one of the better meals we ate and exceptionally good value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- First Class Food and ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/30/2014We love our dining experiences at Bistro 101. We understand that the staff are culinary students with the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts. They clearly have an excellent program as we dine here quite often and are always impressed with the excellent food both taste and wonderful presentation. The Maitre D' (an instructor as well?) manages an excellent front of the house that always creates a wonderful ambiance. The table settings, the room and that posh service makes this a great restaurant experience. Now we have to plan way ahead to enjoy the wonderful seafood buffet everyone is talking about. Highly recommend this establishment!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent FoodhappyeatersDined on 7/29/2014This was our first time and we were both 100% satisfied. We were amazed at the how delicious the food was, the presentation was impeccable, the choice suited both of us who eat different types of food and we could find nothing at all wrong with the tastefulness, the presentation of the plates and the quality of the food. We are definitely going back again and will try dinner next time! The service was good and the food server was didn't speak English very well but she got the food choices correct. She was pleasant and we were most happy with your establishment.Special Features:

- CharlanCharlanDined on 7/24/2014On Jul 24, we booked Bistro 101 for my birthday @6.30.............about 7.15 class had special celebration; curtains were pulled the noise level was very very loud. I love your restaurant and go there several times a month, however, this was a very bad experience. If you are going to do an inhouse for staff/students, please do not take reservations near that time. It ruined my birthday celebration!!! Usually when I take someone for their birthday there is a special dessert this was not the case, it was an unfortunate experience for an otherwise fine restaurant.
- Loved it -again!felinedinerDined on 7/22/2014The food was wonderful - salmon, moist and topped with a creamy Hollandaise; lamb, juicy, tender and served with an amazingly tasy jus. Vegetables and accompaniments were lightly cooked, well-chosen and tasty. Seasoning was delicate and allowed the true flavour of the food to show through. Dessert was divine. Orange pistachio pave and chocolate roulade were both rich, beautiful and decadent. Another memorable meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic food and presentationsurreyfoodieDined on 7/22/2014We have been there four times before and have always enjoyed it thoroughly. The same goes for this time unfortunately, it was the waiters second day and he forgot everything (cutlery, taking away plates, bringing coffee, checking back). He was so nervous that he couldn't even smile, and that made it uncomfortable. The saving grace was a gentleman who was obviously a senior staff member at the Bistro who kept on checking on us half way through and was charming and funny and made our day! I guess you have to realize that it is a Culinary School and staff is learning. We will definitely go back again!!!Special Features:
- What a treat!notagourmetVIPDined on 7/22/2014Bistro 101 was a delight. The service was quite good - not perfect, perhaps - but this is a culinary school and many are clearly "in training." What was especially noteworthy for us, though, was the food. The presentation was stunning and the flavours were amazing. We simply savoured every single bite. For a $20 three course lunch this was a huge value. And this was perhaps the best meal we have ever had in many years of dining out in Vancouver. Reservations are a must - they turned away all "walk-ins" on the day we were there. Easy enough to reserve on Open Table. We will be back and have probably just become "regulars." Thanks to all at Bistro 101 for a superb lunch!Special Features:

- Traveller's TreatGbpdxDined on 7/17/2014What can our new chefs of the world create for us? I learn that each visit to a culinary school, whether it us Bend, Oregon or here in Vancouver BC. We know the ingredients the cooks have to choose from, but the minds at a culinary school are willing to explore just a bit more than at most every other restaurant. This visit, our waiter, who is also a student gave a special recommendation for a desert that was available. And was he on target! Oh. And each of the other courses were great also.Special Features:
- Glad I found this restaurantPickyPaulineDined on 7/17/2014We come here at least twice a year and love their menus that change monthly. Both the service and food are excellent and a meal at Bistro101 is always a treat. When the plates are placed in front of you they are "a work of art".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A wonderful surprise!restobestoDined on 7/16/2014Truly the best bread basket EVER. Of the six different dishes that we ate only the asperagas was well cooked but dull, all else was A+, pork cheek with coconut kaffir appy just fantastic. Half price wine bottles on wed, amazing white blend out of Cowichan Valley unfortunately not at BC liqour stores, we checked! We will definately return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice ideaSuzieDined on 7/16/2014With a small but interesting menu, the bistro gives guests the chance to eat a meal created and prepared by students. The food is good and the presentation is excellent; you might have little hiccups in the service but these are minor and besides, how else are they to learn? Wines are half price on Wednesdays so the meal is excellent value for your money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Anna Catherine TylerJuly 22,2014
Anna Catherine Tyler
BRATTLEBORO Anna Catherine Shirley Tyler, 89, of Brattleboro, died Friday morning, July 18, 2014.
Born on February 1, 1925, to parents Frank and Anna (Delohery) Hubner in Brewster, New York, Shirley was raised in Danbury, Connecticut. She moved to Chesterfield, N.H. in 1936, and was a 1943 graduate of Brattleboro High School.
Shirley graduated from Keene Teachers College (now Keene State College) with a teaching degree in elementary education, and was proud to be inducted as a member of Kappa Delta Pi. After student teaching in Keene, her first teaching assignment was fifth grade in Concord, New Hampshire. Also during her teaching career, Shirley worked as a substitute teacher at Canal Street School and Brattleboro Junior High School.
On June 21, 1947, at All Souls Church on Main Street in Brattleboro, she married her high school sweetheart, Frederick Fred Tyler.
While raising their five children, she was very active with the Brattleboro Parent Teachers Association. Her love of education and dedication to the children of Brattleboro continued as she served for numerous years on the Brattleboro Town School Board, Brattleboro Union High School Board, and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) board. Governor Richard Snelling appointed her to the Vermont State Board of Education. Additionally, Shirley served on the Vermont State Lottery Commission, and on the Town of Brattleboro Finance Committee.
Shirley was well known for her baking and cake decorating skills, and even had a cake decorating business, which provided special occasion cakes for many families. She was proud to have made each of her childrens wedding cakes. She took great pride in her home and was active for many years with the Brattleboro Home Demonstration Group. Never an idle person, Shirley also enjoyed ceramics, painting with oils, photography and travel. She most cherished her trips to Ireland, Scotland and Wales with her husband.
She was a faithful and devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, whose life centered around her family.
Besides her husband of 67 years, she leaves three daughters, Kate Tyler of Westminster, Deborah Tyler of Brattleboro and Martha Tyler Gouger and her husband, Jeffrey, of Brattleboro; one son, Brian Tyler and his wife Jill of Brattleboro; one brother, Paul Hubner, Sr. and his wife Donna, of Chesterfield; and a sister, Cynthia Cindy Clark, and her husband Edward of Guilford.
She is also survived by ten grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. She was predeceased by one son, Kevin, a grandson, Joshua Kistler, one brother, Frank Hubner, Jr., and two sisters, Elizabeth Betty Whitehouse and Jean Hubner.
A memorial service will be conducted at a future date. Memorial contributions in Shirleys name may be made to the Brattleboro School Endowment, PO Box 2534, Brattleboro, VT 05303; Rescue Inc., P.O. Box 593, Brattleboro, VT 05301; or Brattleboro Fire Department, Elliot Street, Brattleboro, VT 05301.

Pressure, Expectations Mount as NJIT Men's Soccer Enters Division One
September 03, 2003
Team practice is looking a lot different for NJIT's men's soccer this season. The time alloted has not changed. Under the rules of college athletics, players are limited to 20 hours of practice a week. But according to team members, those 20 hours are lot tougher than last year's--longer runs, grueling drills, more sessions. There's a reason for that: Coach Pedro Lopes. Hired this season with a goal of making NJIT's entry into Division One soccer a success, Lopes and his new assistant coach Javier Velasco have a major challenge ahead. With backing from NJIT's president Robert A. Altenkirch, they intend to turn NJIT into a soccer-loving school and the team into a winner. As the Highlanders face their first Division One game Saturday, September 7 at Long Island's Adelphi University, the pressure is on like never before. How do you take a team that won only two games last year and turn it into a winner? "Our biggest challenge is that NJIT is very good academically, but athletics has not been seen as a priority here. We have to make athletics an equal concern to achieve success," he says. That's the big picture. The more narrow focus is on creating a soccer team that plays with sustained intensity and teamwork. Last year's game statistics show that the team has the raw talent, Lopes says. "We do have the athletes, there's no question there," says Lopes. But they were unable to translate their efforts into wins. Their passes weren't sharp enough. Their game strategy seemed often to be two steps behind the play. "Players have to play within a system. These players were thinking too much as individuals, now they are learning to work as a group, with discipline and professionalism," Lopes says. He says he's seeing a change of attitude already. "These players are eager to learn," he says. You don't shoot just because you have the ball, he says. You always play to your opponent's weaknesses. You teach players to recognize certain situations and capitalize on them. First he says, you work on the team's physical conditioning. "Our players have been injury-prone partly because they are taking longer to get fit," says Lopes,a Somerset resident who formerly worked as an assistant soccer coach at Rutgers University. That means more long runs, more intense drills, and the expectation that players log time in the weight room on their own. Even routine passing drills have been stepped up in speed, to give the team a harder workout. "Is it harder than last year? I don't know. I didn't ask anyone what they used to do. I'm concentrating on what we need to do now," he says. A native of Portugal, Lopes says he grew up with a soccer ball in his hands. His father was a fisherman and the family lived on a farm until they came here to live in the Ironbound Section of Newark when Lopes was 11 years old. "I missed the freedom of living in the countryside, but as a kid you adjust quickly. It was exciting to move," he says. He attended Newark's St. Benedict's Prep and played there before attending Rutgers. Assistant Coach Velasco, a S. Plainfield resident, is a native of Ecuador whose family moved here when he was 16 years old. He played varsity soccer at North Brunswick High School. He expects to spend much of his time recruiting, since the team has only 19 players compared to the 30 most schools have. Further, nine are seniors and they will be leaving next year. Most of the Highlander players are from soccer-loving nations, including Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria, Haiti, and Ecuador. The team's first home game is Sunday at 1 p.m. versus Millersville University. Any season predictions from Coach Lopes? "I won't get too specific on games. But we're going to do better than last year. That's a promise." >>

I started to smile as I passed from picture to picture. "This person HAS to live on the West Coast." I thought to myself and, sure enough, she does. A shout out from Queen Anne, lady! I like your kooky place and I know it makes you smile on those dreary, dark winter days we get here. Well done!
Whack-a-doodle fun.
Thank you byronaugusta!
Dafuq did you get that comforter?! I'll over night it, right fkn' now!!
I think the bedspread is from urban outfitters. Love the mood of this place!
But it is sold out...http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=27380617
now I know where all the milk glass I donated to St. Vincent's ended up ;-)
This is cool, I hail from Capitol Hill so know the dark and the wet all too well!
This has lots of personality. I like it. I voted for you!
Everyone else is boring compared to you.
It is lovely.
I would love to know where you got the comforter as well. Beautiful!
Frieda Kahlo has called, she wants her bedspread back. :-)
Very eye-catching!
Love it -- what a fun and inviting space !
Nice use of color.
I like this!! It's cozy colorful... and lived in!
Thank you. Glad so many of you like it. It is a tapestry from Urban Outfitters. Goose 80 posted the link above but it is sold out. They do have a lot of other beautiful ones for sale.
I can see where we're going to have a fight over who gets that comforter. I have serious luv for this place just on the colours alone. And I swear I have that same fringed handbag, only in black. Since too much is rarely enough for me, I knotted some Venetian glass beads onto some of the fringes of mine so it clatters when I use it. And I also share your philosophy of "if you love it, get it, you'll find a place for it". Yes, yes, yes! I extend it one step further: if you love it, get it, you'll get it home *somehow*.
This is one of the cosiest, homely-est entries. I love your quirky style and colours :-)

It's time to gather the information you'll need to make sure you're financially prepared for the transition. Here's what you need to know.
Are you within a few years of retirement? It's time to get your financial house in order. Here are five items to take care of now.
Take a look at all of your company benefits. Your 401k might be your biggest benefit, but there may be others. Can you continue medical or other insurance? Are there other benefits that you can continue at reduced group rates? In the case of your 401k, you need to decide if you want to leave it with your soon-to-be-former employer, roll it into an individual retirement account or take a distribution. The last choice will likely result in a hefty tax bill, so this is not a good idea for most folks. Do you have company stock options that you haven't exercised? Check the rules. Speaking of company stock, there are special rules called net unrealized appreciation to consider when dealing with company stock held in your 401k.
Take a look at any pensions from current or former employers. Depending upon the rules of the plan, you may have several decisions to make with regard to your pension benefit, if you have one. Do you take the benefit immediately upon retirement or wait? This will depend upon the plan rules and your need for the money. In some plans the benefit may be greater if you wait until age 65.
Additionally, some plans allow you the choice of taking an annuitized lifetime benefit (a monthly check) or taking a lump-sum payout. This decision should be made in the context of your overall financial situation and your ability to effectively manage a lump sum. Also, as this lump sum would be taxable, it is generally advisable for you to roll it over into a tax-deferred account such as an IRA. Lastly, if you have earned a pension benefit from a former employer, be sure to contact your old company to get all of the details and to make sure it has your current address and contact information.
Determine your Social Security benefits. The main decision is when to start taking your benefit. While you can start at age 62, there is a significant reduction versus waiting until your full retirement age. Further, if you wait until after full retirement age, your benefit will increase until age 70. If you are married the planning should involve both spouses' benefits. There are a number of sophisticated strategies surrounding couples and whose benefits to take when, so planning can pay off for you here.
Take stock of all of your retirement financial resources. Many pre-retirees suffer from financial clutter. They have several old retirement plans from previous employers in IRAs or still in an account in the old plan. The same may be true of a spouse. They each have a 401k with their current employers. There might be IRAs, a variable annuity, taxable investments, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. There is a lot of financial "stuff," but it isn't organized into a coherent portfolio. It is vital that you take the steps to consolidate accounts and to get a handle on what you have and how and where it is invested.
Determine how much you will need from all sources to support your retirement lifestyle and compare this with your projected retirement income. While this might seem intuitive you'd be surprised how many people within a few years of retirement haven't done it. Specifically, look at your Social Security benefit, any pension payments, any part-time income from work, consulting, etc. Compare these with the amount that you project that you will need to support your lifestyle on a monthly basis to determine how much you need to take from your various investment accounts, both taxable and tax-deferred (IRAs, etc.). If this gap amounts to more than 4% of your nest egg (as a quick rule of thumb) you may need to reassess your lifestyle needs or possibly plan on working a bit longer.
This is a very cursory checklist for pre-retirees. This might be a good point to engage the services of a fee-only financial advisor if you've never done a financial plan, or if your plan is out of date. Retirement can be a great stage of life, and proper planning can help ensure your success.
More from U.S. News & World Report:
Yea, for an article titled "...5 must-do tasks" - it was pretty lame. My list:
1) get as close to debt-free as you can.
2) as much as possible, max out retirement funds; including the post 50 catch up.
3) tell kids - as politely as possible - "We're retiring; you're on your own."
4) look at possible part-time opportunities - you might need some extra cash.
5) if not already doing so, start exercising and eating healthy - enjoy your retirement years
I'm sure others can add to this list.
Number one: There are no company benefits. The company I worked for for years went bankrupt and a 58-year-old person can't buy a job. Number two: There are no pensions from current or former employers. Number three: Believe me, I have my potential Social Security benefits memorized. Number four: I am fully aware of my retirement financial resources down to the penny. Number five: I know my lifestyle, I know my resources, and I know how long they will last. Number six: I have never, and will never, trust or rely on ANY retirement advice from MSN Money. Only the terminally stupid wouldn't already know EVERYTHING that MSN Money pukes out about retirement. The ONLY thing about MSN Money retirement advice that is not obvious and that is consistent is their constant pushing to never take Social Security at 62 and to wait until full-retirement age or even until 70 to take Social Security. I guarantee you that is not going to happen.
1. Saved starting early - check
2. Saved a material and ever increasing amount of my income - check
3. Saved an emergency fund - check
4. Saved an additional already taxed amount for tax planning - check
...know where each amount above is - check
5. Maintain life, health and property insurance - check
6. Carry no revolving debt - check
7. Paid off mortgage - check
8. Save monthly what would have been the house payment - in process
...let it all simmer and tenderize for 9-12 years (10 is the goal)
9. Breathe deep, work my last day - and let the stress and tension melt away
10. Wake without an alarm...brew and enjoy my first hot steaming cup of coffee while watching birds going about their busy morning activities. Listen to the distant echo of a puttering motor attached to small boat crossing the lake. Grab some night crawlers from the fridge, drop anchor, and give the owner of that puttering boat a run for his money...the lawn, my new boss these days, can wait.
Looking forward to it..
Must do tasks:

3-replace all major appliances if going to stay in residence
4-get a really good car/truck, etc
5-stash some cash for emergencies
6-to quote CTRobot "tell kids-you are on your own."
7-accept the fact that your lifestyle is going to change-
8-Don't worry-be happy
We have no guarantees that we will live to 95 or whatever age they're predicting now.
Just be prepared to live a little closer to the belt when U retire, unless U have saved a great
deal for many years. If U don't...the Gov't will just keep enjoying it for themselves, and crying the blues how broke the system is.
Even if U have saved...that's another legal ripoff. The Gov't re-taxes U on all the money U already paid taxes on, when U take it out of your 401K or IRA. It's a total bonzer of a ripoff !!
I'm beginning to think it isn't worth paying everything off or not buying something U want anymore.
I have a friend who has never saved a nickel, has spent to the point of bankruptcy and just collects her SSD, and lives just fine on it. And of course...she is still charging up a storm wherever she can.
Why not ? She got out of paying it off b-4, so why not again ? That's her attitude anyway.
There are enough helpful programs out there to help U get by & live fairly good if U don't insist on owning a huge home after retirement. U can invest in an adult condo and live very easily. Or if your lucky enuff to have a paid off mtg., that helps too. But if your property taxes are killing U like mine do, just dump the house and rent in a senior place. Why suffer ?
Go take all those vacations U didn't take becoz U were saving all those years. Get that new car. Or just hire someone to drive U around. It's time for us to spend, spend, spend !!!
side note: I don't do this...but I wish I could. I'm one of those responsible, saving type individuals.
I just hope it lasts long enuff and is enuff for the time I'm alive for me to use up and not run out of.
(I think it is...if the market doesn't crash b-4 then)
If I don't spend it....my kids will get all of it without the benefit of saving up themselves.
Do I really wanna do this ? Or do I want to enjoy what I have scrimped to save up all of my life ?
U guess.

Broad Beach Seawall - Malibu
The Surfrider Foundation's West LA / Malibu Chapter is following the recent emergency permitting of a 4100 ft long and 8 ft high rock revetment, along with additional emergency permits for existing and/or new sandbag walls along Broad Beach in Malibu. Existing sandbag walls have significantly impacted public access to Broad Beach. In some cases, sand was taken from the public portion of the beach to fill the bags, thus lowering the public beach and severely reducing the breadth of the shoreline. This has moved the "mean high tide line" such that there is no public beach except at extreme low tides. Equally disconcerting is the current and long-term impact to shoreline erosion along this stretch of beach. The removal of the sand brought the water line inland allowing direct wave action on the protective structures. All indications are that this wave action is causing active erosion along the shore face, with wave reflection pulling additional sand from the beach. In 2005 the homeowners at Broad Beach illegally bulldozed sand from the public beach onto their properties to protect their homes, and this may have exacerbated the problem.Donate

A desperate President Barack Obama is pulling out all the stops in a last-ditch effort to salvage his $950 billion health care plan but critics of this latest move from the White House call it more of the same and more hyperbole than reality.
Been there, done that say Republicans.
"Deja vu all over again," says Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire.
Democrats aren't happy with Obama's latest proposal either because it once again lacks a public option. Democrats in both the House and Senate say Obama didn't consult them before announcing his "new" plan on Monday. Requests for a preview last week went unanswered.
"More of the same," one Democratic Congressional staffer told Capitol Hill Blue Monday. "More of the same means less of a chance of getting anything passed."
Political insiders say the plan does nothing to improve chances of passage of any meaningful health care reform this year and puts even more strain on relations between Democrats on the Hill and Obama.
Republicans, however, privately welcomed Obama's plan, seeing another opportunity to gain ground on faltering Democrats.
"Americans want the administration to scrap its massive government scheme in favor of an incremental approach to health care reform," Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said in a prepared statement. "Unfortunately, the White House still seems unwilling to do the one thing Americans want most. It's still clinging to a massive bill that Americans have overwhelmingly rejected, again and again, for months."

If at first you don't succeed, wait a couple of months and push the same garbage. Rinse and repeat, if necessary. This government is so bass-ackwards it would be comical if not for the seriousness of our fiscal predicament.
Is incompetence and ignorance grounds for impeachment?
Is disagreement grounds for impeachment?
Barack has so much political capital invested in this one that he cannot have it fail. It would be his signature piece shot down in flames. So, all stops out to win this one.
What worries me is, what if he wins? What abominations are next? It would inflate the egos in this administration to a point where nothing is safe.
But let's not forget who is really in charge. Just follow the money.
Q: Who has crafted this bill?
A: The insurance, medical and pharmaceutical industries. By their own lobbyists.
Q: Who is pretty much guaranteed tidy profits by its passage?
A: Let me guess…
Q: Who contributes vast sums to our senators and congressmen?
A: Oh, them?
Q: Who will vote on it in congress?
A: Uhh, our senators and congressmen?
Q: Will it pass?
A: Gee, I have no idea…
to warren
For the sake of the country I wish your statement were wrong, however neither party truly cares about us. They are slaves to the large corporations and their concern is only two fold. First is to get reelected, with second being how much may I enrich myself at anyones expense so I can financially weathy. Have you ever noticed that any answer from them can usually be vewied either way, mistake, hardly.
Nicely done Warren.
This President has become an absolute cipher at least to me. When he speaks all I see is big zeros; ie, soon to pop "lie bubbles" coming from his mouth.
He has no substance or credence because unequivocally he's the duty "Liar in Chief".
It's tragic we have to wait three more years. Myself, no doubt as others want him gone from my vision field. : |
I wouldn't buy 'barsoap' from this guy.
Carl Nemo **==
Carl, we have the President who was elected by the American voters. I tend to look back and see whether another contender would have been preferable. I saw nobody running on the ballot for President who was anywhere near my agenda. I often have stated that the American voters would be better off not using Hollywood casting directors' choices.
I'm always saddened to see so many people spend so much time in running down the elected White House winners instead of searching for a candidate who stands up for what we really want. I learned in 1964, the thinking voters never win. Would Secretary Clinton or Senator McCain been any better? Is there ever a chance for a time out to debate what it is we want? It is more government control? Waiting three more years will fix nothing. Nothing has improved even with the internet as a tool.
I will not vote again. I will never call my President "Liar in Chief."
Unfortunately the constitution answers your question. When it was in convention in Philly they did not want the common man to have much hand in the nomination process for any candidate. Thats where the clause mandating the electorial college system came from. Until we repeal that clause we will never have true representation of our selection.
paulb, I would tend to agree with you, but I think it has more to do with the implementation of the electoral system than the idea of it. The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes needs to go, for one. You can win a state by a 51 – 49 margin and take all the votes – not very representative. That's more akin to a democracy than a republic.
The primary and caucus systems could use some tweaking as well. The two party establishments maintain a stranglehold on these.
Paper ballots.
Yes, paulb, you are correct. To have the "common man" to have control over the nomination process would mean America would become a Democracy or to extend it to 2010; it would be a Theocracy. Starting 12 years ago there was a separation of church and state law that was set aside when the religious right took over the media and the religious leaders began to mark the ballots of their congregations. This upset the balance of independent voters. We have seen such an increase in these independent voters that it is time they drew up their own agenda and ran on it. The GOP has given away their agenda of limited government and individual freedoms to bring in the religious independent voters.
I have been severely criticized for my comments but they only are a problem during the elections. I have no interest in any God directing any Americans until they focus on the elections in our federal government. The damage has been done and the religious right is firmly inbedded in the GOP. That leaves only a third party to vote for.
Had America followed your desire to scrub the Electoral system, would we be in better shape than today? Not in my corner of the results! If America had better education academics and more rational voters, you might be right; but I do not want the current voters to have any more advantage until they learn to recognize right from wrong.
It starts with the Census. From there it goes to the RNC or DNC depending on which party rules the next major election. The redistricting of Congressional Districts has shown to be divided depending on which party rules the chicken coop. The chicken coop is chosen by the media and corporations leaving the American voters wondering why it is possible for anyone to label our leader as "liar in chief."
46 years ago the American people learned that the best candidates do not always win over the candidate who promises handouts. We did not learn from that election and we never will. I am constantly infuriated with my own age group who are fighting to keep Medicare coverage for Viagra, Acupuncture, Chiropractic and freebies from the federal government. We have Insurance Companies buying free dinners for seniors to buy their Supplemental coverage. I know of many who accept the free dinners without reason except they are over 65. I raged at my own Congressman Trent Frank who was the single man left who put over the Prescription Drug Unfunded addition to Medicare. These damn seniors are raping our government dry and pleading poor mouth while driving their Caddies and SUVs. At 77, I do not believe the federal government owes me a damn thing. I paid into S.S. for 60 years to be able to retire when age brought me down.
America needs a new attitude to survive. I am very unpopular on this site and you can see why. So we whine for another 46 years or do we work together to change what we despise? I'm tired of whining, bitching and losing.

Juarez-Lincoln High School state medalist Danae Sanchez credits her teammates for the championship trophy the school earned last weekend. Defeating every school they faced at the Team Dual District Wrestling meet, the Lady Huskies claimed the girls championship for the fourth time in five years.
But Sanchez certainly led the way for her team. With an 11-0 record so far this year, Sanchez is once again displaying the dominance she became known for in both the 148 lb. and 165 lb. weight classes last year.
"Last year was a pretty good year for me," said Sanchez. "I won the district championship, the regional championship and I missed the state championship by one point."
As impressive as Sanchez's record may be, she knows very well that it takes more than one wrestler to win a team dual tournament.
"This is the first time that I've seen my team work really, really hard for this," said Sanchez. "We worked hard all week long because the dedication and commitment was there. It was a tough tournament, but we didn't win by forfeit as sometimes happens when teams don't have enough girls. We had plenty of competition and, while it was close, we won everything. It was a total team effort."
Sanchez is not the only one tallying big points for the Lady Huskies wrestlers. The team has two more regional qualifiers on this year's squad, Yaritza Colunga (185 lbs) and Mayra Becerra (128 lbs) who have been contributing.
The Lady Huskies' recent success is by no means an indicator of how their season has gone so far this year. Just one of the reasons his squad has been struggling, wrestling coach Humberto Vela said he began the year with 23 girls but is now down to a dozen.
"This year has been pretty tough for us because we have a lot of freshmen," explained Vela. "As a result we have to teach them the basics. At the same time, some of the other girls are struggling to learn new moves. That's causing them to become a frustrated, but it seems as if over the past two weeks we've begun to come together."
"The new girls are starting to catch up to the girls that have been here before and it seems to have worked because we won the dual district tournament," added Vela. "Now we have to start learning new moves, improving on the basic moves and working on conditioning."
To pin down the team dual district championship, the Lady Huskies first won their preliminary round match against Pharr-San Juan-Alamo (PSJA) Memorial Friday to advance into the winners' bracket. They defeated PSJA High and Weslaco High to advance to the championship match in which they defeated the San Benito Lady Greyhounds.

Caution in the Car: Safety Tips that Save Lives
It's common knowledge that road rage, chatting on the cell phone, and driving while distracted or fatigued are not smart driving practices for anyone—but once a driver becomes a parent, there is more to keeping the family safe in the car than just standard good driving habits. A vehicle can be a dangerous piece of equipment for the children inside, and not just in a crash.
Car Seat Safety
Whether you're going on a long car trip or just driving across town, your child must be secured in an age-appropriate car seat or booster seat. Unrestrained or improperly restrained children are at risk of being seriously injured or killed in an auto crash. If you're not sure how to buckle in your child's seat properly, visit SeatCheck to find a child passenger safety seat inspection location in the United States where a certified inspector will help you properly install and use a car seat.
Installing the seat properly is crucial, but so is continuing to check that the seat is buckled securely. Children can unbuckle a seatbelt accidentally or out of curiosity, but for a car seat to protect your child, it must be firmly secured to the car.
Additionally, it is not safe to place a child younger than 12 years in a seat equipped with an airbag. Airbags can deploy even in minor accidents and seriously injure or kill young children.
Look out for Flying Objects
Do you have library books on the passenger seat, a heavy diaper bag on the floor, or sporting equipment rolling around in the car? Beware! Unsecured items can become missiles in an accident, whether they are launched in a sudden stop or fly through the car during a rollover.
"Any unrestrained object in the car can be a potential problem," says Sean Kane, president of Safety Research & Strategies, Inc. "The two main factors are how fast the car decelerates or even how fast you're braking and what the mass or shape of the object is….Objects in the vehicle do become projectiles, they do not decelerate with the vehicle."
"In 2001, an estimated 13,000 crashes occurred in which an unrestrained object caused injury to an occupant," says Kane. He recommends that parents use whatever means possible in the vehicle to secure unrestrained cargo and minimize carrying heavy unrestrained objects. Keep smaller items stowed in your glove compartment or storage area under the seat if available. Larger items should be locked in the trunk or secured in a box or cargo net. Don't forget to secure unoccupied booster seats, which could be thrown forward during an accident.
Watch Your Windows
Did you realize that the windows in your vehicle may present a deadly hazard to your family? If you didn't, you aren't alone—a 2003 Harris poll shows that 75 percent of Americans are unaware of the dangers power windows pose to children.
According to Kids And Cars, a nonprofit group that tracks auto-safety issues involving children, eight children in the United States have been strangled by power windows thus far in 2004 alone.
The danger lies primarily with American-made cars sold in the United States that have "rocker" or "toggle" switches. What happens most often in these fatalities is a child has his or her head out the car window and inadvertently leans on the power window switch, causing the window—which has 40 to 80 pounds of pressure—to choke the child.
"This is something that should never happen; it is entirely preventable," says Janette Fennell, founder and president of Kids And Cars. She explains that auto makers and the U.S. government have known about this problem for 40 years but not taken the steps to correct it by putting lever or "pull-up/push-down" switches in all cars and installing auto reverse. "Eighty percent of vehicles that are purchased in Europe have auto reverse, less than 10 percent have them in the United States," says Fennell.
In the article "Child car safety concerns," Consumer Reports details the types of window switches available in cars, and offers a rundown of the switches in popular family vehicles. Consumer Reports recommends that parents buying a new vehicle pay close attention to the design and location of window switches.
So what can parents to do help prevent this tragedy other than purchasing a new vehicle? Fennell says parents need to remain aware of power window dangers and use the lock-out switch—the switch near the driver that allows only the driver to control the windows. She also says parents consistently need to check their children prior to moving a window up or down.

Celebrities are a circus sideshow these days. With the constant media attention and the insane over exposure that these celebrities face, it's a wonder how they can even stay sane at all. The female celebrities have it far worse than the males do. That doesn't mean that the men don't get a rough go in the press, but the women have far more to deal with. Not only are they subject to the same constant gossip and picture taking, but they are also scrutinized for weight gain and every other physical change they go through.
With the overexposure, there are many that turn to drugs and alcohol. It's a serious matter and the news often sells these stories for entertainment rather than having a genuine concern. Many celebs are the punch line in late night monologues and are the focus of gossip shows. They have rehab shows to document their addiction and are lambasted for their return to their demons.
We often blow off their cries for help as the eccentric nature of Hollywood stars, but the reality is that being a celebrity can bring about these changes. It can be a life altering, and a mind altering experience. What these stars needs is help. They need someone who can give them the therapy they need to work through their addiction.
Addiction is a serious topic and one that should be treated with respect. If you know someone with an addiction, encourage them to get help. Going on to TheCyn.com is a great way to take care of something that is just moments away from overtaking somebody's life. Many rehab centers can treat both an addiction and a mental illness at the same time.
It's never too late to get help. These ladies should serve as a warning to the rest of the world that addiction can effect anyone. It's not something to laugh about.
