Don't you just love those crazy twist-of-fate stories that make your jaw drop to the floor in awe? If you do, then you're in for a real treat after hearing about two boys who randomly met one day and figured out they were actually brothers.
This past June, 12-year-old Isaac Nolting was having fun at his local pool when he met another boy, 13-year-old Dakotah Zimmer. While they were hanging out with mutual friends, they started to realize they had more than a few things in common.
Their buddies commented on how alike they looked, even going so far as to notice that the boys had the same hands, feet, hair, nose, and mannerisms.
And finally someone piped up and asked if they were brothers, and that's when Dakotah told the group that he did, in fact, have a brother, but he'd never met him. He'd been adopted by a woman named Dawn when he was an infant.
I'm sure you can guess what happened next -- Isaac looked at him and said, "That's my mom's name."
(Ohhhhh, do you have chills yet?!?)
Isaac went home and confronted his mother that night, and long story short, his intuition was right -- Dakota is indeed the long-lost brother he never knew he had until that fateful day hanging by the pool.
And perhaps the best part of this story, aside from how astounding it is that they happened to find each other, is that they've now become best friends.
Issac's mother says, "You can just tell they're brothers. It's the strongest bond that I've ever seen. It's like they were never separated. For being apart for 10 years and 20 minutes away, they picked up right where they left off."
OMG. I've always been a huge believer in the whole "everything happens for a reason" thing. Hearing about the chance meeting between these two boys only makes me more sure that there are some things that are just way too incredible to be mere coincidences.
Someone or something definitely guided both Isaac and Dakotah to the pool on that exact day because it was the time that they were supposed to finally meet. Doesn't it seem kind of ironic that they lived in such close proximity to each other but never met until they were old enough to realize they were related?
If they'd been little kids, they probably never would've picked up on their physical similarities. Fate definitely works in funny ways, doesn't it?
Do you think Isaac and Dakotah meeting was more than just a coincidence?

amazing! what an incredible twist of fate for these two boys, and how lucky they are to have found each other. i'm a firm believer in 'things happen for a reason' and this would be no exception.
There are no "accidents."
That's an awesome story. :-)
That is a great story... Sounds like their mother chose life over the other horrible alternative, and then graciously/selflessly chose adoption, fulfilling the lives of another set of loving parents...
As an adoptive parent, this was fairly confusing to me at first. I think the author meant to say that Dakota was placed for adoption by Dawn, not adopted by Dawn. This is a great story but wonder how Dakota feels to know he was placed for adoption when his brother was not. My son is in that situation and believe me, it's not easy to explain why a parent would keep two siblings and place the other for adoption. I hope his parents handle this well.
Don't get me wrong. I admire her for making a VERY hard choice and loving her son enough to make sure he had a loving home rather than choosing to abort.
Reminds me of a story my mother used to work with a lady who decided to adopt. She adopted a young boy and before long they decided to adopt another. The second time they got a small girl, a toddler if I remember. When they brought her home the boy ran to her and wouldn't let go of the girl much to his parents confusion. They figured out later they were siblings that had been separated. Talk about fate.
No Heather, Dakota meant adopted. Issac was adopted by a woman named Dawn. It's correct.
God meant for them 2 find each other that is y he sent them 2 the pool , it was fate and god has a purpose for everything he does it is a miracle they met each other but a happy story for the brothers

Indian payments startup Citrus eyeing 1M transactions per month
Summary: Just months after raising US$2 million from Sequoia Capital, startup Citrus has doubled its number of daily transactions to 27,000 and is on track to raise this by another 20 percent in June.
Indian startup Citrus is on track to process over one million payments in June with its online checkout system, gaining further traction after getting a US$2 million fund injection.
In March, the firm raised the investment from venture firm Sequoia Capital, which previously invested in PayPal and eBay. Citrus will use the fund to complement and enhance its portfolio of seven payment products.
Citrus founder Jitendra Gupta told ZDNet that daily transactions have doubled over the past few months, from about 14,000 per day in April, to about 27,000 in May or 810,000 per month. The two-year-old company is expected to hit the one million monthly transaction milestone in June, Gupta said.

New Orleans • A cold, gray day greeted revelers — but didn't deter them — along parade routes Tuesday as the Carnival season in New Orleans headed to a crest with the unabashed celebration of Mardi Gras.
The first street marching groups, including clarinetist Pete Fountain's Half-Fast Walking Club, were to begin their marches along oak-lined St. Charles Avenue and into the business district.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The Zulu parade began on schedule, led by a New Orleans police vanguard on horseback that included Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
Later, the floats of Rex — the king of Carnival — and hundreds of truck trailers decorated by family and social groups would wind down St. Charles Avenue.
Rain fell, and umbrellas and raincoats sprouted along the parade route. Sleet was falling on some merrymakers in areas north and west of the city.
But revelers gathered by the thousands in the French Quarter, where the bawdy side of Mardi Gras would surely be on full display.
Mark Nelson of St. Louis said he would be in the mix even in a downpour for his first Mardi Gras.
"That's why God made washing machines," Nelson said as he sipped on a daiquiri.
Revelers lined up near a stand on Bourbon Street where artist Gail Vertucci was painting Carnival masks on faces.
"These people are crazy," she said. "They'll get painted no matter what. It doesn't matter if it's pouring rain, these people will line up all day long."
Die-hards braved the weather in costume in the Quarter.
The weather wasn't going to stop them.
"We'll drink, drink, drink until it gets drier," said Dean Cook of New Orleans as he walked Bourbon Street dressed as a pirate with vampire fangs.
"Mermaids love the water," he said of his wife, Terrina Cook, who was dressed in a shiny blue mermaid costume, complete with a fin.
Along the Uptown parade route, Carol LeBlanc and husband Hov LeBlanc of New Orleans were strolling along St. Charles Avenue with friends Vicki and Duane O'Flynn from Arabi, La. The troupe was dressed as scarecrows, stuffed with grass and wearing plaid pants and tattered coveralls.
The cold weather wasn't worrying LeBlanc. "I've got my long johns on," she said.
Nearby, April Womack and her family had tents set up. Grills were fired up, and pots of crawfish were boiling. They camped overnight, a family tradition for almost two decades. "It's all about location," she said.
Her cousin, Yolanda Moton, said Mardi Gras is the opportunity for an annual family reunion, with relatives coming from as far away as Georgia. "This is the one time of the year that everyone in the family fits this in their schedule."
Sue and Kevin Preece from Edmonton, Canada, were at their first Mardi Gras.
"We wanted to come for Mardi Gras for about 10 years. It was on my bucket list, and he (Kevin) made it happen," said Sue Preece, a social worker.
Ronnie Davis, a professor of economics at the University of New Orleans, decided to break his button-down image for at least one day. Clad in tutus, he and his wife, Arthurine, strolled through a rain-thinned crowd.Next Page >

A roadside bomb kills four soldiers with Georgia's 48th Brigade. The military is notifying the families but has not released the names of the troops publicly. Just the thought of hearing that devastating news frightens other families with loved ones fighting in Iraq.
Yellow ribbons showing support for the troops in Iraq are a sure sign that a loved one is here at home trying to remain strong. "Even though it's hard but we do what we have to do," says Lashonta Williams. News reports help Lashonta Williams keep up with how her husband is doing overseas.
"I try not to stay glued to it now because of everything like the attacks they're currently having and they're so frequent," says Williams.
On Sunday, four soldiers with the 48th Brigade were killed in action. This is news that no 48th family wants to hear. "You think about those families who've suffered that loss. It saddens you," says Williams. Her husband, Specialist Clynt Williams is safe. "So far he's o.k. I talked to him this morning. He called me to reassure me everything's o.k. He was o.k.," says Williams.
But she can't help but think, what if he weren't?
"You get those thoughts and you wonder who is it and am I going to be the one they're going to come see," says Williams. Lashonta's friend Michelle Watts has the same worries.
"There are some days when we do really need just a shoulder to cry on," says Michelle Watts. She said goodbye to her husband right after they got married. "Five days later," says Watts.
These are the first members of the 48th Brigade killed in combat. Lashonta and Michelle can only wait together and wish all the soldiers the best. "I hope they accomplish it and bring them back safe and healthy," says Williams.
They'll hope and pray for no bad news.
A fifth soldier who wasn't part of the 48th was wounded in a second bomb explosion.

Wednesday February 28, 2007
For Immediate Release Media Contacts: Tony Hyatt574-4137 / 526-3622 Stephen Haag 574-1204 / 645-1752The Metro Council's Health and Human Services Committee gave approval on Wednesday to a resolution that asks for a thorough review of KIPDA's "Meals on Wheels" program.
"I am pleased we can send a message to KIPDA on how valuable we think this program has been for our seniors," says Councilman Dan Johnson (D) 21.
Johnson is the primary sponsor of the resolution that calls on KIPDA to stop any effort to end the delivery of hot meals to the elderly. It also asks the agency to review the need to expand through public and private funding. Finally, the resolution asks KIPDA to seek public comment before any major changes are made.
Council members Tina Ward-Pugh (D) 9, Kelly Downard (R) 16 and Mary C. Woolridge (D) 3 are co-sponsors of the resolution.
"It is my hope the full Council will support this effort," says Johnson.
KIPDA recently discarded a proposed plan for the "Meals on Wheels" program that would have changed the daily delivery system to a once a week delivery. The change would have called for delivering five frozen meals at once. The Agency says it has abandoned the idea for now.
"I understand concerns over costs, but Meals on Wheels has become too important a program for seniors," says Johnson. "This review may cause more donations and volunteers to come forward to help out."
The resolution will go before the Metro Council at its March 8th meeting.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

The program is being expanded this year to provide additional education but there will still be plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, shopping and, if you are in the mood, spend the evening at the Saratoga Casino and Raceway. Review the links below for program information and to register for the Conference. The registration page also identifies the contact number for the hotel – be sure to register quickly since the special discounted space is limited. We continue to work on some value added extras for the event so check back for more information.
Ten scholarships for full registration are available to credit unions under $50 Million in assets and a discounted registration fee of $299 is available for young professionals (under the age of 35). Alloya Corporate Credit Union is also offering one scholarship that will provide an all-expense paid conference experience to one individual. The Christine M. Gross Memorial Scholarship, is offered to a member of Alloya, either as a capitalized member or an associate member in the $20 million and

In his embroidery works Hans Hamid Rasmussen pictures the experience of belonging – or rather of not belonging – somewhere. With a point of departure in his own multicultural back¬ground he reflects on moving from one place to another. He investigates the connection between memory and his childhood home in Algeria, and what happens when one set of cultural codes is mixed with or replaced by a new one.
In the work Secret talks downtown from Alger city from 2005 a range of motifs are mixed with abstract patterns and forms: women with headscarves, cars, animals, groups of men meeting under the trees, and boys playing football. The motifs are scattered, and hover like disconnected patches over the white background of the textile. In fragments, they visualize a narrative of childhood in Algeria, but they also express something universal about cultural identity and the experience of losing it. As viewers we attempt to gather the various motifs into a common story, because they are on the same piece of cloth. In this way we repeat the process that the artist himself undergoes in his attempt to create cohesion from the fragments of memory.
Hans Hamid Rasmussen came at the age of seven from Algeria to Norway with his Norwegian mother and Algerian father, and replaced his native French with Norwegian. At the same time a number of the family's everyday habits were changed and adjusted to the new culture. But what significance does it have to lose one's language and replace it with another? And what does it mean for the identity and personal memory? These questions run through the artist's works.
In his work with embroidery Hamid Rasmussen exploits several aspects of this classic craft to comment on themes like identity, cultural affiliation, and memory. In the series Homage to the Hybrid from 2008 he uses cotton textiles as the staring-point for his embroideries. We know the textiles from our everyday life – we use them for sheets, curtains, and tablecloths. Our use of them reflects traditions, rituals, commu¬nities, and habits. Finally, the work with embroidery is viewed in the western countries as a female occupation, while the execution of large textiles is associated in the North African context with men. By virtue of his own dual Norwegian-Algerian identity Hans Hamid Rasmussen breaks with the usual notions of the feminine and masculine and turns the focus on the frameworks within which we under¬stand the world around us.

Today I realized something. Something really refreshing, inspirational, and potentially destructive.
BOW TIES are the one universal thing that can make anyone interesting.
I'll even go out on a limb and say it makes ANYTHING interesting.
Before you start erring and ugh-ing, think of someone you think could be interesting. Or instead of thinking for yourself, you can also let me do the thinking for you. Look at the photo above. That's Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants. You may know him as "The Freak," "Timmy," or "that one babyfaced pitcher from the Giants." Is Timmy interesting? Perhaps. Probably more so because of his pitching talent than his entourage of two and low-key personality. Note here that I'm not comparing him to his fierce and beardy teammate, Brain Wilson (pictured below).
However, by putting on a bow tie, Timmy has upgraded himself from kinda cute star pitcher to kinda cute star pitcher who is also quirky, slightly emotionally unavailable, and shamelessly clever. Think Doctor Who and Albert Einstein. Additionally, the bow tie classes you up instantly without really messing up your personal style; and it showers you with a sense of refined masculinity, as seen on the martini-drinking and well-manicured James Bond.
To further support my argument for bow ties are the one universal thing that makes anyone appear interesting, here are some pictures of bow ties on people and things.
So when in doubt, SLAP A BOW TIE ON IT!

Even we professionals can get into a cooking rut from time to time. This time of the year we've got the best of summer and fall produce converging — and yet still I find myself relying on the same old dishes. The stir-fries, the pastas, the chopped salads.
Just when I was scratching my head, wondering what the next creative thing to do with vegetables might be, along comes Mollie Katzen with a 450-plus-page set of answers.
Katzen, of course, is the woman who gave us "The Moosewood Cookbook," which has sold millions since its debut in the 1970s. She has written 11 more cookbooks. Spend time talking to Katzen, as I've had the pleasure of doing, and it's obvious she delights in cooking — and in vegetarian cooking, of course (even though she's not a strict vegetarian). Actually, that delight is just as obvious when you read her cookbooks, all of them illustrated by her.
The newest is "The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013), and in it Katzen encourages improvisation, offers optional "enhancements" galore and proclaims the glories of a lighter, sharper style of cooking no longer so dependent on cheesy, rich additions. As a newbie vegetarian cook wanting my own cooking to glorify, not hide, vegetables, I see her more clarified approach as a godsend.
Take the Mushroom Popover Pie I made for an easy dinner (and again for lunch) recently. It comes together in little more time than it takes to cook down mushrooms in butter and to whirl together a three-ingredient batter in the blender. The batter is poured over the mushrooms in the skillet, and the thing bakes up almost like a clafoutis, that French dessert of cherries suspended in a custardy pancake. In this case, the edges get crisp and puffy like a popover's, and the interior stays creamy. The mushrooms, deepened with thyme and a heavy dose of black pepper, infuse the whole thing with earthiness.
As with other favorite recipes, I immediately thought of the next several ways I'll try it: maybe adding arugula to those mushrooms or subbing in some butternut squash, don't you think?
Katzen didn't suggest any such "enhancements" here, but it didn't matter. I was inspired enough.
For the deepest flavor in this recipe, use a combination of white and shiitake mushrooms, but you can substitute cremini or wild mushrooms for part or all of the mix.
Popover Pie
Makes three to four servings. Adapted from "The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation," by Mollie Katzen (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013).
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
8 ounces white button mushrooms, wiped clean, stemmed and thinly sliced
About 10 2-inch-wide (4 ounces total) shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and minced
1 teaspoon minced or crushed garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, preferably at room temperature
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

Not The Birthday Party
THIS WEEK The Wedding Present, the iconic British band that formed in the mid-1980s and helped to define a generation of rock groups with jangly guitars and feelings-soaked lyrics, is coming through town to celebrate the 21st birthday of its second album, Bizarro. And while the whole anniversary-of-an-album tour has become a bit played out, this is one of those records that seems incredibly important to see performed live.
We spoke to David Gedge, the band's front man and its only consistent member over the years, about what it's like to have made a record so old that it could drink.
New York Press: You've been quoted as saying that you've always thought The Wedding Present was an inappropriate name for a band. Is this still true?
David Gedge: Yeah. It's not a great name, it's kind of unusual.Weddings are odd and a bit surreal, joining people and giving people away… I haven't been to a wedding in a while. [Asks someone in the background.] Oh, there was one on the 4th of June, apparently. I can't remember one before that.
Why tour for the 21st anniversary of your record Bizarro? Is it something you'll do for all of your records?
No, I don't plan to.When we did [the band's first album] George Best, a record label that wanted to rerelease the record first suggested the idea, but they didn't in the end.They asked if we would be interested— it's the new fashion—but I was appalled by the idea. I was thinking that nostalgia's not a good thing, but everybody I spoke to said I had to. So we did it and I did find myself enjoying it. It's interesting to put yourself back two decades and almost forget everything you've learned.Whether we do more, it will depend on how this one goes.
How has it been revisiting where you were 21 years ago? I know you've played these songs since, but probably not in this way. Is it a strange feeling?
It is very odd, 20 years is a long time for an artist because you want to develop and change, so you have to work out what you did and why you did it. I'm the only person in the band now who was in the band then, so I also need to explain things to people. Secondly it's a bit weird because my songs are so personal and to look at lyrics that were written a couple decades ago, it's kind of like finding an old diary.
A lot of bands are doing the reunion tour thing, and it's not always good. Why will this be different?
To be honest, the main thing that people have told me—we did it a couple years ago with our first LP but only in Europe—is that the thing they enjoyed most from it is that when the album came out, you didn't see the band play it. At that time it was new songs and a band will play half a dozen maybe, interspersed with older stuff, and people have found it generally interesting to see the album played live in one go.
The record gave The Wedding Present its first big hits. How were things different for you after Bizarro came out? The biggest thing was the financial thing.
When we did Bizarro, we had our own label in Britain and then we signed to RCA and we signed at a time when the record companies were throwing a lot of money around.
We could afford better studios and we spent a lot more than we did on the previous record. It took the pressure off, having an unlimited budget.
Now that the album is old enough for kids who were conceived while it was playing to actually come see your shows, what sort of crowds are you expecting?
I'll be interested to see.We do get young people coming.

Define Precipitation Rate
the speed at which a sprinkler or an irrigation system applies water. Measured in the U.S. as Inches Per Hour (in./hr)
What are two reasons for the importance of PR in landscape irrigation?
What counts as a Low irrigation rate?
0.5 in/hr and below
What counts as a Medium irrigation rate?
0.5 to 1.0 in.hr
What Counts as a high irrigation rate?
1.0 in./hr and above
What are two types of sprinklers with high PR?
1) Fixed Spray
2) Bubblers
What are two spinklers with low to modereate PR?
1) Gear Rotars
2) Impact Rotars
What is an advantage of using a high percipitation rate Sprinkler?
Idealfor level, coarse textured soils with high infiltration rates and little hazard of erosion
What is an advantage of using a medium percipitation rate sprinkler?
Ideal for level, coarse textured soil with high infiltration rates with little hazard of resion (like High PR sprinklers) BUT can be run longer
What is an advantage of using a low PR sprinkler?
Ideal for a wide variety of slopes and soil textures without excessive runoff or soil erosion
How do you compare a sprinkler PR with a system PR?
A sprinkler PR deals with a single sprinkler head output while a system PR refers to precipitation rates in an overall irrigation system
When choosing a sprinkler head, what factors must be assessed about the landscape?
1) Soil Texture
2)Maximum percipitation rates per USDA standards
3) Slope
It is a misconception that sprinkler systems with low PR take longer to irrigate a landscape. Why is this false?
Because more heads can be operated at one time thus increasing the PR rates for the time alloted
The total run time is limited by the __________ available from the water source, NOT the precipitation rate of the sprinkler system
Gallons per Minute (GPM)
What is the sprinkler spacing method formula?
Pr = 96.25 x GPM (for a 360 degree head) / Head Spacing * Row spacing
Head Spacing
is the distance in feet between heads in the same row
Row Spacing
is the distance in feet between the row of sprinklers
What is the sprinkler spacing formula for spray arcs under 360 degrees?
Pr =
x GPM / Degree of arc * Head Spacing * Row Spacing
IF a full circle head has a coverage diameter of 40 feet what is it's radius?
20 ft (exactly half)
What is a half circle arc equal to in degrees?
Give an ecample of the modified sprinkler Spacing method
Pr = 34650 x GPM / Arc * Head spacing * Row spacing
34650 x 2.5 / 180 * 20 * 20
= 86625 / 72000
=1.20 in./hr
How does one perform the Total Area Method Formula?
pr = 96.25 * Total GPM / Total Area
A Sprinkler flow increase means a(n) ____________ with precipitation rates
Decreasing head and row spacing _________ precipitation rate
How is radius adjustment accomplished?
1) An internal change in pressure and flow (GPM)
2) External Disruption of spray with no change in flow but a modification in radius of throw
What is distribution uniformity?
The measurement of how evenly the water is applied to the area

I'd just like to say go J Law ( Jennifer Lawrence ). For winning an Oscar and making a fool of yourself on live t.v. Also for getting touched by some famous guy who I don't have time to mention. I'm still mad the HUNGER GAMES (best movie ever) didn't win anything. But having Jennifer Lawrence win something is second best. Plus what happened to Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Rob Patterson, and I wish they would get some author's up in here. Don't you? I mean come on. Really and I want everybody to respond to this who would you pick to win best author? And then tell me who you would pick out of suzzane Collins, Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling.

Design trends – Raising Dining to New Heights
Tables represent changes in cooking and eating habits, and these changes are reflected in design. One manifestation of less structured dining patterns, according to Philippe Starck, is a tendency towards higher table heights, with the standard 72cm table increasingly being replaced in favour of the 1.4m table. This bar – or worktop – height table is more suited to informal dining and the comings and goings of different people.
SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills - Designed by Philippe Starck
"They [the younger generation] want movement. That's why this 72cm table more and more disappears, goes to 1.4 metres, meaning it's bar height…this height is more dynamic. It's a big change, structural change, in the way you eat longer or faster and how that changes design."
Starck has put this thinking into practice at two recent hotels – the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills and the Palazzina Grassi in Venice, both of which feature dining rooms with bar-height tables, the latter having a 7m communal table as its centrepiece.
Palazzia Grassi Designed by Philippe Starck
The long, communal table has returned to favour, and is now used not only for dining but for other activities such as work and homework, reading, watching TV as well as food preparation. In 2008, radical Dutch architects UNStudio pushed the concept to the extreme when they presented The World's Longest Table For All Cultures at the imm cologne furniture show in Cologne, Germany. This 55m-long multifunctional table was designed to highlight the way the kitchen has today become a place for a wide variety of activities:
"The present-day kitchen is seen as a place of numerous activities, which go beyond the traditional of a kitchen as a purely place for the preparation of food…But even more the kitchen is a space for different types of social gatherings. The kitchen is the scene of family get-togethers, friends socializing, work-related activities, day-to-day dining, formal entertaining, late-night snacks, Sunday brunches, hurried breakfasts and so on." UNStudio, architects
Design is demonstrating the need for tables to be able to adapt to the needs of the whole family, be it teenagers who want to 'perch' to eat before rushing out again, to those to like to eat and talk in a leisurely way at a dinner party. To read more about how table design for communal eating is experiencing resurgence take a look at our Table design trends – dinner parties post.
How do your family like to eat – round a formal dining table or at a bar-style kitchen island? Does your kitchen meet the needs of your family? Scholtès is really interested in your views on table heights - please share your views.
This article is from the Food and Design report written by Dezeen on behalf of Scholtès that look into the cross-pollination of the worlds of food and design.

when i got home, i got on the computer for a bit and waited for abby, josh, and leia to come over. when they finally got there i had a crunchy peanut butter fold over while they ate it straight and wow i know i had a good time.
they all had to leave around 4, i think, at which point i go to my room and just stare at everything. i wish someone had been online, but i know most everything i would have said would have been nonsense haha.
i just chilled by myself until 6:10, when i abruptly sat up and said to myself "oh, it's over", and then i felt totally normal again.
the best way to sum up the experience is with this quote "wait. wait. wait, what? what? why? why is that? wait, what?"
then dariel and charlie came over so we can go to firewheel and find the something for dariel to frame his prints with, going to hobby lobby michael's, and a few other places before we happen upon abby at half price books (WOW! what an awesome coincidence) and then we went to chipotle (holy fuck that was good)
after all that, we head back to my house, and plan on chilling until my dad needed a ride to the gas station. so we take him, and when we get back abby drops her phone in the gutter and we have to ghetto-rig a ladder down there so she could climb through the manhole and get it. adventures!
ABBY GAVE ME THESE AWESOME FUCKING SHOES OMFG!! and we hung out for a while before she had to leave and we went to the practice space, where richard and devon were already chilling. it was nice seeing richard again after all this time, and we went and got braum's :D and mcdonald's haha
when we got back they found my nausicaa mangas and finally, after like 2 and a half years, i have all 7 again :'D god i'm so happy about that. then charlie and dariel took me home, and now i'm here and now it's time to go to bed :'D
oh man, here we go. i ran around with abby and josh all day, getting shroomies and things for later. when they dropped me off, i took a nap until it was time to go to alana's birthday party.
her birthday party was super fun and everyone there was amazing. i'm so in love with everyone i know and it was great to hang out with all the people there :)
unfortunately abby couldn't pick me up in time so i had to get dean to take me home wahhh >.< (this was around 2am saturday)
got home from kelty's and undid my cornrows (MAN is it nice to be able to scratch the side of your head!) and washed my hair
i got on the computer for a bit and then walked over to alana's to hang out with her and mckenna. we talked for a bit and then watched youtube on her tv :'D i walked back home around 8 and then took a shower
after i got out, i went and got on the computer and chatted with alana and hannah until motherfucking 5 in the morning oh my godddd
today is friday, and i said i was going to quynh's party, but i feel SUPER DUPER FUCKING BAD because i may not be able to get a ride over there. i really wanted to see her and wish her good luck before she went :'(
hmm, as far as i can remember, i didn't really do much this day hahaha
i remember i went over to kelty's at night and i slept over there; first time i've slept over at someone's house in a while :'D
i had a lot of fun at her house and i hope we get to do it again soon :)
now this was a really slow day haha.
i woke up super late and just got on the computer for a while before passing out again haha. i slept for a long ass time, and then we went to souper!salad! which was omfg so amazing and i want to take every person i know there. i wish i was there right now :'(
thenn i got home and got back on the computer, videochatting with alana and mckenna before abby came over :'D an overall awesome night!
a pretty slow day actually, most of it i was just sitting outside, playing harvest moon haha
then i chilled on my computer, videochatting for the first time with charlie and taylor as she dyed her hair. omfg it was super cool and i feel like i live in the future now :'D
then it was time to hang out with kelty, which was super amazing and fun. her apartment is fantastic and so is her bong, and we watched an amazing movie and she gave me a box of strawberries and nutella :'D oh man yeah it was great.
when i got home i played harvest moon before going to bed :'D
sorry i'm like spamming these, but i remembered what happened on sunday :)
sunday i was awoken at like 10:30 (OMFG i've been sleeping so late OMFG) by mat calling me, saying he was basically almost at my house. so i put clothes on and we chilled for a bit, him basically watch me play katamari until alana showed up. i kept playing katamari and i made a moon that was like 768 meters big :'D
then mckenna showed up and we started playing pokemon stadium for n64, just the minigames. i made popcorn and we were all together for a long time; mat left around 6 pm haha. then ken left and alana only left by surprise a little after that D':
after that was computer time awww yeah, oh and that's the day that i got re-addicted to harvest moon
today i went to hmart~
we ate, shopped around, and went to mozart. i stayed there and painted while everyone else went to karaoke~
hannah's mom dropped me off at alana's and we watched music videos on her huge, amazing, hd tv omfg
on the way home though, my tire was already pretty flat, but then i tried to change my gear and the line snapped noooo goddamnit i hate that that happened oh my god. so now i need to replace that, and fill up my tire.
hmmm yesterday it was raining, so instead of setting pulp out to dry abby and i just ripped more paper.
after a bit of that we drove to josh's in rowlett and smoked a blunt in the car, by the river. it was awesome; we saw a white and a grey heron, and a cluster of ducks. the rain sounded soothing on the car and the blunt was really nice too.
when we finished, we went and got ice cream at braums, and i got a mo'fuckin' triple scoop :'D all 3 a different one of their seven new flavors. then we went to half price and dicked around a bit, and after that we went to petco so i could get a snake hook and some mice.
then we drove all the way back to rowlett, dropped josh off - we forgot to refill my zippo though :'( - and then headed home. abby dropped me off at my house and i just derped around on the comp until it was time to sleep :)
super productive day :)
i cleaned my room a bit and then got together with abby to make paper. i met this guy at the con over the weekend and he rode the dart from plano to come hang out too! he was a little derpy but an overall fun guy
we didn't have a lot of what we needed so we ran all around town getting it, which was fun, and most of the day after that was just spent tearing up and blending the paper
i've been sleeping so much lately, i can't wait for my sleep debt to even out and everything to be good and normal :)
wow, yesterday was great! i woke up around nooon after sleeping for 11 hours :'D
i chilled on the computer until some friends showed up with two puppies! i played with them for a while, and we even put them in the pool!
after they left we went to blake's and chilled there for until 5, when i came home and tried to watch gurren lagann with andre and zach but got cockblocked in every way imaginable, so we came home and watched princess mononoke yayyy. one day we'll get to watch nausicaa and also gurren lagann :'D
it was about 12 when they left and i dicked around on the computer until 2 when i passed the fuck out :'D
i was drunk for, conservatively, 48 hours, i bought some awesome space buttons from the lovely kyandi, got lots of pictures taken of me as raichu, with my buddies minun an plusle (mckenna and alana), went to the rave for the first time in 7 or 8 years, had my own hotel room with the awesome and amazing taylor, charlie and jorsh, and i didn't have to personally deal with anyone's retarded bullshit
but all i can think about is how socially retarded i am when it comes to talking to people. i want to become someone whose words are valued because they don't talk very much, because i don't feel like anything i say is very interesting or has much worth because i am constantly vomiting syllables. plus i have probably the worst, most annoying voice on this whole planet (i'm so happy whenever i lose it, like right now) it disgusts me
anyway, a-kon was fucking awesome and i just woke up from sleeping for 11 hours so now it's time to start the summer and get my life in order WEEEEEEEEE :D

Packing a picnic basket for a day trip to the beach can be a monotonous task. Water bottles, ham-and-cheese sandwiches on white, bags of salt and vinegar chips. Or maybe, because you're a true Philadelphian, you're making a pit stop at Wawa for an Italian hoagie with extra sweet peppers. There's nothing wrong with the usual. Old habits die hard and it's a fact that hoagies taste better with salt water in the air. This summer however, we're breaking routine and packing up some of our local Philly favorites to bring down the shore because everyone needs a taste of home away from home.
A Look Inside The New Green Aisle Grocery
The second Green Aisle Grocery is now open at 2241 Grays Ferry Avenue and the good folks from the Passyunk Post dropped by to snap some shots of the new space.
With 1,000 square feet to play with, there's more room for products and a kitchen, so the Green Aisle crew will now have a space of their own to be able to make prepared foods (some of which may end up being sold at the original store) and produce some of their private label products.
There are a bunch of photos and some more descriptions of the available stock over at the Passyunk Post.

Instacart Now Delivering From Green Aisle Grocery
So last week, we brought you the news that Green Aisle Grocery was expanding–picking up a second, much larger location in Graduate Hospital–and now we have some more news.
As of today, delivery (in as little as one hour) will be available on all Green Aisle products via Instacart–the grocery (and booze) delivery service that launched in Philly a couple months ago. Instacart is already providing supplies from Whole Foods and your local wine and spirits stores. But Green Aisle? That's a sign of them really digging in and going local. It's also good news for those of you who really want some pickled sriracha carrots, Rival Bros. coffee and Little Baby's Ice Cream brought to you while you sit on the couch watching cartoons in your underpants.

TEAMS: Kansas State Wildcats, Oklahoma State Cowboys
Quarterback Collin Klein has left third-ranked Kansas State's game against Oklahoma State in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury. Klein scored his 50th career rushing touchdown on a quarterback sneak early in the third quarter to give the Wildcats a 38-17 lead. The Heisman Trophy frontrunner didn't come out for their next offensive series and was seen talking to a trainer on the sideline. Klein was 16 of 22 for 245 yards and had 17 carries for 65 yards when he left the game. Daniel Sams entered as his replacement. There was no immediate word on the nature of the injury, though Klein gathered with some teammates to pray before joining Kansas State's assistant coaches to watch the rest of the game.

The AP Stylebook Food Section
Is it Bloody Mary or blood mary? Barbeque or barbecue? Is an amuse-bouche meant to be free? Oh, and what exactly is the proper format for recipe writing? All of these finicky culinary-isms and more are given a definitive answer in the AP Stylebook's never-before-included 16-page food section in their 2011 edition. Such a food focused addition to the indomitable AP Stylelook is surely yet another indicator of our food fixated world. According to the AP "With all the cooking shows, blogs and magazines focusing on food, as well as growing interest in organic and locally sourced foods, our new food section feels timely and on trend… (the food section) reflects what we see anecdotally as a growing national interest in food writing and the need to answer language-based questions associated with that writing." [Poynter]

I made these for Christmas Eve dinner and they were a hit. They don't spread when baking like I thought they would, so they were smaller than I was expecting. The basil is a must, it gives them a great taste. I broke my hand mixer making these, and had to finish mixing by hand. A stand mixer would work much better.

T.J. Forrester
Simon & Schuster, 272 pages, $15
Gina Webb / For the AJC
Noir meets Holy Roller in T.J. Forrester's fast-paced, hard-boiled debut novel, the story of a young carnival worker whose brush with religious greatness lands him in the biggest limbo of all: a 6-by-10 on death row in Florida, where he's awaiting execution.
Not for tax fraud or sexual misconduct, but for murder.
Flashback to 1997: Born-overnight-but-not-again, Vernon Oliver makes a living as a slacker stagehand for a two-bit traveling tent show where he learns the tricks of the trade — including how to usher the sick far from the stage so the trained actors can be healed. Despite his high I.Q. and off-the-chart SAT scores, 20-year-old Vernon is content with the job, saving up for the day he and his girlfriend, Rickie, can buy the Harley he wants and a beach house for the two of them.
Until the night his glamorous boss taps Vernon for a shot at greatness: "Televangelism,

Selling used products on Amazon has always been tricky business. Until now.
Facebook has joined the #hashtag revolution.
The social networking site said it will begin to roll out the feature on its network, making it easier for users and advertisers to find hot spots of user activity around specific events or topics.
The feature, which was made popular by Twitter to add context and shared interested to tweets, will make searching easier and more intuitive. Over the next few weeks all Facebook users will be able to include a hashtagged phrase in their posts and then watch it become clickable. The company is rolling out hashtags to roughly 20 percent of its users, with a full global launch expected in the coming weeks. When a hashtag is included in a post, clicking on it will pop out a feed that aggregates others posts that have been tagged with the same phrase.
The search bar at the top of the Facebook homepage will also allow users to look for hashtags, and hashtags on Facebook will also tie into those from other services such as instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and Twitter.
On Thursday eight members of Congress formally demanded that Google's CEO Larry Page address a range of privacy concerns about its new wearable technology device, Google Glass.
In the letter, the Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus asks Page to disclose Google's plan to incorporate privacy protections into Glass by June 14.
"We are curious whether this new technology could infringe on the privacy of the average American," the letter said. "Because Google Glass has not yet been released and we are uncertain of Google's plan to incorporate privacy protections into the device, there are still a number of unanswered questions."
Providing quality customer service is important for any business, but in the e-commerce world, social customer service is essential for success
Thinking of starting a business? Find out why building your company through an e-commerce is more effective, and cheaper, than investing in a brick-and-mortar store
First gaining traction in the mid to late 1990's, e-commerce has dramatically changed the landscape for retail shopping. The internet has given consumers the ability and convenience to order anything their heart desires while never having to leave their house. The wild popularity of the internet has also given entrepreneurs and the average Joe the ability to start their own business without going through the traditional steps of having a physical location.
We break down three reasons potential business owners should choose starting their business asan e-commerce over the traditional brick-and-mortar storefront.
Apple is making a comeback as the Company skyrockets to no. 6 on Fortune 500's annual list

Before & After: This Rocker's More Glam Than Granny
Lizzie described her budget as "less than a shoestring," so when she found this old rocking chair at a clearance yard, she snatched it up.
She sanded the seat, arms and back (taking off several layers of skin along with the peeling varnish) and painted them in a quirky neon turquoise (an unexpectedly and fun choice). Looks like her risk paid off.
Lizzie obviously has a history of scoring great deals. She says:
The chair is pictured in my new living room, with an old ralli patchwork quilt, antique kilim rug, and otomi table runner in the background (all thrift/market/ebay finds over several years and all under £20 each
For more, check out her blog, Lizzie Doe.
Thank you Lizzie!

Nice. I think I would have painted the whole thing and I am typically a "leave the wood grain" guy.
I think if you are going to paint it, paint the whole thing. This looks a little unfinished to me. Like the color choice though.
Love it! It's fun, colorful & quirky - just what every home needs :) All the items are great finds!!!
* Ignore the inevitable "you should burn in hell for not restoring it" crowd you've ticked off *
I like it. It gives an unexpected punch to a plain old rocker.
Good inspiration, although not what I would have done. This will def make me look twice at those ugly wood rockers at the local thrift store.
I especially like that she left some of the wood unpainted. It's fun!
I love the quirkiness and contrast but I agree that it looks a bit unfinished. I think painting the top head rest green while leaving the remaining wood would help the piece look complete
I like it and I am also a *leave the wood* kinda girl!!
I like it! When I saw the "more glam" title, I instantly had a vision of it in chrome or gold :) I see so many rockers (chairs, sometimes people :) at the thrift shops. Your post inspired me to look at them very differently now. And, maybe I'll make a gold one someday.
At first I wasn't too sure about this, but the more I look at it the more I like it. Especially with the quilt. It's quirky and fun!
What God is in the Details said.
This is quirky and fun - great job!
This is really neat - great job!
Nice job.
I can see myself taking on one.
I'm a light wood gal, so I'd likely have dark paint.
We could set the rockers up, they could mate and we'd be in business. ;)
And yeah, the headpiece is screaming for a psychedelic bus manifest motif.
something wrong
I love how fun and quirky it is. I love rocking chairs but they always look so dowdy to me. The paint really perked it up! Nice job.
In the words of Tina Belcher: "Uhhhhhhhh"
I love it! And I'm inspired. Way to go.
My taste has run from natural wood to stain, but never paint on good wood, but here I make a happy exception. Leaving parts natural wood and some painted compliments each other. The eye sees the wood and naturally travels to the paint (or the other way around). It looks fun yet retains a bit of dignity, but dignity with a little wink. I mighty try it on a pair of speaker stands I made years ago. They are crying for an update.
I'm a mixed paint wood gal so I like it personally. It looks like something that Jenifer Beals might buy... Or someone cool like that.
I like the color, yet think it would be better with all the wood painted...
Personally, I love the choice to paint only part of the chair & keep the rest original wood. I see this more and more from high-end design houses... they produce amazing products in wood, but to liven them up a bit for a modern palette, they incorporate bits of popping color. Great job!
I love it! I want it. I think the paint looks perfect the way it is, and I totally agree with MotoBonnie above me... definitely looks like something you'd find in a more modern, high-end home.
something right
Jennifer Beals?
I love this. Unexpected and fun! Nice work!!
It's cute! But - I have to admit, I actually prefer the "before" of this!
I love rockers. Great job!
I love the contrast ,but I would like to have seen the unpainted portion at least given a coat of varnish.Just to make it all look newly refreshed.Great job.
Sorry, just don't like this. I'd have painted the whole chair in another color and added a striking seat cushion.
I find it unsettling rather than innovative or interesting. To each, their own.
Lots of "quirky" and "fun" comments but I just find it 'confused'. Sorry.
Just love.
Thanks for all the comments, people! I should point out that I bought it purely because it was in a disgusting state, varnish and wood-wise, so leaving it 'as is' was never an option.
Also glad it's getting mixed reviews from some people as I feel like my taste isn't particularly mainstream ;)
Thank you ApartmentTherapy for posting this!!
then there is this.
I love this! I think it really accentuates the rocker's form. Nice idea.
I would paint it all too. It would be really darling
no. totally destroyed the lines of the rocker. she was smart enough to buy it, should have been smart enough to leave it alone

Did you really say, Ride lots? That quote's been attributed to you.
Ride lots.
Ride lots?
Yeah. Did you ever say that? Actually? Everyone says, "Eddy Merckx says, Ride lots."
What's it mean, ride lots?
It means ride a lot.
Yes, I ride lots. Yes.
But do you know if you ever…I mean, that's—people in America have T-shirts that say ride lots.
Yeah, ride lots. Yeah. Yeah. I ride lots…Ride lots.
— always good to get it right from the source
If it wasn't a legit quote before, it can be one now. #ridelots
