There isn't a tranquil highway or scenic byway or crowded, dusty backroad in this state Steve Miller hasn't conquered from the seat of a bike or the confines of a car.
So when he rolled that map of Utah onto a table four years ago and pointed to the south, toward the jagged red rocks and the rolling hills of central Utah, Miller envisioned then how this year's 586-mile Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah could differ from the previous seven.
Starting Tuesday morning at Brian Head Resort near Cedar City, the peloton featuring some of the top cycling talents nationwide and around the globe will churn its collective legs toward the idea that Miller and tour organizers had in 2009.
"There isn't a corner of the state we don't know," said Miller, president of both the Tour of Utah and Miller Sports Properties. "Turns out, there isn't any place in Utah you can't go."
And they're backing it up.
For the first time in its eight-year existence, the Tour of Utah, set to be broadcast live in 50 countries over its six-day period, will incorporate stages in southern, central and northern Utah. When the race began in 2006, Miller said the dream could one day come to fruition, but knew it wasn't feasible at the time. The popularity and consistency of luring athletes and sponsorships needed time.
"You have to water it and nurture it along," Miller said.
Safe to say it's bloomed.
And Steve Johnson, president of USA Cycling, has taken notice. As a former resident of Utah, Johnson, now based in Colorado, said the Tour of Utah's organic growth is what stands out. Without those early years of lessons learned, the race wouldn't be where it is today, Johnson said.
"Other tours started out with just title sponsors, but this has grown with a plan and I really love that about the Millers," Johnson said. "It's been one step at a time in order to keep it healthy all the way along. I think it's a testament to them."
Following the historic Stage 1 race finishing in Cedar City, racers and fans will prepare for a Stage 2 that most have circled for its rugged terrain and awe-inspiring views along Highway 12 from Panguitch to Torrey near Capitol Reef National Park.
Utah native and 2008 Tour of Utah champion Jeff Louder has been a contender for yellow jerseys in the race since its inception, but admitted he never thought the race would grow into the worldwide spectacle it's become in the cycling community.
And he expects the second stage to wow.
"It's a long stage and it's a gorgeous stage," said Louder, veteran of the UnitedHealthCare Pro Cycling Team. "It's pretty dramatic and unique and should be a great showcase for southern Utah."
Pedaling in the same realm of destinations such as Hell's Backbone and Box Death Hollow, the riders will be tested to their core in the 131-mile Stage 2, which features 9,877 feet of elevation gain.
"There's not an easy stage," said Park City's Tanner Putt of the Bontrager Cycling Team.
Following the finish of the second stage in Torrey, the race will begin winding its way northward Thursday when riders will set off from Richfield and set out for Payson. Prior to the finish, the course will take competitors near Mount Nebo, the tallest peak along the Wasatch Mountains.
Charles Aaron, managing director of Optum Pro Cycling, said this will be his team's fourth Tour of Utah and he expects much of same: unforgiving conditions and rigorous climbs, like Stage 5 of the tour, the "Queen" stage from Snowbasin Resort to Snowbird Resort.
"It's Utah in August," Aaron said. "It's windy, it's hot, there's lots of altitude and climbing, but when you have great crowds, it's just great coming back."
The sixth and final stage will start in Park City and end on Park City's Main Street as it did in 2012. It will feature a 78-mile loop around Summit and Wasatch counties and give riders one last exhausting push over Empire Pass.
"Everyone is super motivated," said Joey Rosskopf of the Hincapie Sportswear Development Team. "It's hard to know what we're capable of here because there's so much climbing and we don't really have a rider cut out for the climbs."
Therein lies the nucleus of the event.
Miller and tour organizers have waited to pull back the curtain and give cyclists a true statewide test in North America, and now that the idea set in motion four years ago is at the forefront, the Tour of Utah can stand on its own and have the state speak for itself.
"You can't just snap your fingers and have a world-class event," Miller said.
You water it and nurture it along.

Campaign teaming ... does it work
One of the things in politics that is catching on is "teaming" where two or three candidates join together and place all three names on one poster. This has the benefit of leveraging costs and voter outreach.
Is this just party grouping? Would it help you to make up your mind on how to vote? Does it confuse you? Does the one on top influence your vote for or against the others? Do you care?
Did grouping / teaming help in your area elections?

Dec 4 2012: I do not know if this constitutes a "political gang" although it may. I would think that it is more of a funding tactic that party members can do to leverage costs and to maximumize voter outreach. One sign instead of three is certainly cheaper.
The person I was interested in still appears on the ballot individually .... so I vote for that person and not the others that I do not have a interest in.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I love this school this is my daughter's second year, she started first grade yesterday. I feel like she gets the prefect amount of attention the teachers are patient and they make reasonable efforts to speak with you if needed.
This school is the Worst! The Principal does not want parent involvement! The school does not welcome parents and the Principal Ms. Duran stays locked up in her office and even though there is suppose to be an open door policy. She does not welcome parents to see her. For 5 years as a parent, I have seen year after year how the Parent Coordinator Ms. Miranda selects certain parents as token PTA members, set up elections to vote the ones of choice in, and after they are appointed, they disappear without letting parents know who they are, what their purpose is and they never show up to any of the PTA meetings. They refuse to hold meetings in the afternoon for working parents. But yet all the vanished PTA Presidents sit on the SLT board. You go figure! I SMELL A RaT with this school!
My daughter started at this school in pre-k. We had a problem with her first pre-k teacher but once we got her removed from that class, with much insistance from us, her next pre-k teacher was the best. Ms. Negata is the best pre-k teacher in that school and Ms. Downer really help her in Kindergarten. Now she is beyond her grade level for first grade. We had to change schools because we moved and she is now in a charter school impressing the teacher there.
Horrible Bullying problem at this school. Son was so tormented that i removed him mid year. Assistant Principal, St. Paul didn't want to hear about it and the principal was always behind closed doors. Great Science teacher though a young woman, not sure what her name was---motivated my son. Such a shame--great teachers and very, very poor leadership!
i really like this school, since my son become student of this school I discovery how hi is learning day by day. i like this school because teacher are very prepare and they provide to the students ability to develop skills and better knowledge. ms Duncan is my son teacher and she is very careless and provide my son the opportunity to become better educate.

FRIDAY, Dec. 13, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Simply imagining scenes such as a sunny day or a night sky can cause your pupils to change size, a new study finds.
Pupils automatically dilate (get bigger) or contract (get smaller) in response to the amount of light entering the eye. This study shows that visualizing dark or bright scenes affects people's pupils as if they were actually seeing the images.
In one experiment, participants looked at a screen with triangles of different levels of brightness. When later asked to imagine those triangles, the participants' pupils varied in size according to each triangle's brightness. When they imagined brighter triangles, their pupils were smaller, and when they imagined darker triangles, their pupils were larger.
Pupils also changed diameter when study participants imagined a sunny sky, a dark room, or a face in the sun versus a face in the shade, according to the study published online Nov. 27 in the journal Psychological Science.
The results of the experiments aren't due to voluntary changes in pupil size or variations in the mental effort required to imagine scenes, the researchers pointed out in a news release from the Association for Psychological Science.
"Because humans cannot voluntarily constrict the eyes' pupils, the presence of pupillary adjustments to imaginary light presents a strong case for mental imagery as a process based on brain states similar to those which arise during actual perception," study leader Bruno Laeng, of the University of Oslo in Norway, said in the news release.
This research may potentially enable scientists to probe the mental experiences of animals, babies, and even patients with severe neurological disorders, the study authors suggested.

Windows RT
One of the three editions of the forthcoming Windows 8 (along with Windows 8 standard and Windows 8 Pro), Windows RT is a tablet-focused operating system designed to run on mobile devices powered by ARM-based chips. While Windows RT has been developed for use on tablets and similar mobile devices, it isn't designed for smartphones, which will instead utilize the forthcoming Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system.
The "RT" in Windows RT stands for runtime, and unlike the other two versions of Windows 8, Windows RT (also called WinRT and Windows on ARM) is an OEM-only edition that won't be available for purchase in stores. In addition to running on ARM-powered tablets, low-cost notebooks and other mobile devices from a variety of OEMs, Windows RT will also power Microsoft's own tablet device, the Microsoft Surface Tablet.

N.Y. police get radiation detectors
By Robert A. Baker
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — "Artificial radiation," intones a female voice over the electronic squeal of an alarm.
The cell phone-sized device in the state trooper's hand gave the warning as a Chevy Blazer with a trace amount of radioactive material inside drove by. The scene was part of a demonstration of the latest defense against terrorism Tuesday at the state fairgrounds in Geddes.

'Lost' Star OK With Series Finale
Terry O'Quinn says it suited him and he's moved on
Former "Lost" star Terry O'Quinn tells TMZ he's lost no sleep over the series finale that many fans considered an insult to their loyalty and intelligence.
"I was OK with it," said O'Quinn, who played John Locke, a paraplegic who found himself able to walk once arriving on the island.
Video: Watch full episodes and clips of 'Lost'
It turns out the J.J. Abrams series -- which ran from 2004 to 2010 on ABC -- was good at asking questions, not answering them. The revelation that all the characters were dead, so logic never really applied, allowed the writers to abandon loose ends rather than tie them up -- such as the deal with the numbers, what Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) saw that frightened him enough to want to leave the island, and dozens of others.
Need a refresher? Find out more about the 'Lost' series finale
When asked whether fans still complain, Locke replied, "No, I don't get a lot of stuff about it" and noted that the cast "sort of finished it and walked away."
Here's the video:
Still don't understand how anyone that watched the show from beginning all the way through could think was horrible ending. No, didn't all questions (number thing was curious about, among others)..but was about the characters! To this day have never cared more for tv characters like did them. Still thinking of Jack dying on the island tears me up! & Sun & Jin, poor souls...& Juliet, cried like baby when she died. THAT'S what it was about! No other show has touched me more, still miss them, lol... that's sad.
When asked whether fans still complain, Locke replied, "No, I don't get a lot of stuff about it" and noted that the cast "sort of finished it and walked away."
Umm....I believe "Locke" was his name on the show. How about referring to him at O'Quinn. This is a terribly inaccurate article.
I wonder what Evangeline Austin, Jorge Hurley, and Matthew Shepherd have to say about the finale?

Dinner Recipe: Slow Cooker Coconut & Green Curry Pork
Want something spicy, hearty, and — above all — easy for dinner this week? Whip out your slow cooker and make this 5-ingredient (OK, 7, if you include salt and pepper!) green curry pork! It takes 15 minutes to set up, and will give you such tender, rich, and spicy pork curry.
The secret ingredient to this pork curry is Thai green curry paste. This is a staple in my cupboards. Fry a bit with coconut milk, add meat, and stew. Ta-da! Restaurant-style green curry. (My husband is always overjoyed when I make something with this magical little can of curry!)
But I had never used it in the slow cooker until now. But it really works — all that time in the slow cooker helps the spice paste infuse the meat and sauce, slowly, with its spicy, pungent flavor.
Look for Maesri curry paste; it can be found at nearly any Asian grocery store.
This curry gives you tender braised pork that can be eaten with a spoon, along with equally tender and creamy potatoes. The sauce itself isn't very thick; serve it with a ladle or big spoon, letting it soak into plenty of rice. The perfect meal for a cold winter's night!
Between 2 and 3 pounds pork butt or pork shoulder
Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into sixths
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 4-ounce can Thai green curry paste, such as Maesri
1 15-ounce can coconut milk
Chopped cilantro or chives, to serve (optional)
Toasted unsweetened coconut, to serve (optional)
Heat the broiler. Cut the pork into four pieces and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place on a large baking sheet and broil, turning once, for 15 to 20 minutes or until well-browned.
Spread the cut potatoes in the insert of a slow cooker. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and pepper.
While the pork is browning in the oven, fry the curry paste. In a large skillet heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the curry paste and fry for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the paste smells aromatic and has begun to absorb the oil. Whisk in the coconut milk and cook for another few minutes, or until the coconut milk begins to bubble.
Take the browned pork out of the oven and drain away any liquid fat. Arrange the pork in the slow cooker with the potatoes, and pour the hot green curry and coconut milk mixture over it.
Cook for 6 to 8 hours on LOW. At the end of cooking shred the pork with two forks; it should be meltingly-tender. (Depending on how much fat is released from the pork, the curry sauce will not look thick and creamy; it will probably be thin.)
Taste and season if necessary with salt or soy sauce. Serve with brown rice, and small bowls of chopped cilantro or chives and toasted unsweetened coconut.

yum! this sounds amazing! I think I might substitute part of the coconut milk for chicken stock, tho. While I looove it, my husband is not a fan, altho I have been known to sneak it in, in smaller amounts, without him complaining.
And since I don't have a slow cooker, I'm guessing about an hour in the oven at around 350?
@DanielleM, I would plan on cooking this much longer. I think the pork would be cooked after an hour, but it wouldn't be falling-apart-tender. I would personally shoot for 3 hours at 325. See this post for more info:
How To Cook (and Shred) a Pork Shoulder
That's a lot more than 15 minutes of set up!
Sounds delish. But I wish I could just throw everything in the cooker and wal away :-)
@ QueenOfTheFall - not a lot more, only the 15-20 mins it takes to brown the pork. everything else is done while that's happening.
is there a certain temp i should set the broiler to? i do not broil much but i know my oven has a temp setting and then a "bake" or "broil" option so i'm pretty sure i can set the broiler to different temps.
my curry paste comes in a small jar (like the link below)... how many teaspoons/tablespoons/ounces of paste should i use for this recipe?
@ushabusha, it looks like the can above is a 4oz can which would be ~1/2 cup of paste. Or 8 tablespoons.
Note to allergy sufferers (and vegetarians) that many Thai green curry pastes contain shrimp paste (and fish sauce). I've found a fairly straightforward recipe for making your own, which I plan to try in conjunction with this post asap!
This particular green curry is vegan! Most of this brand are, but you do have to watch out for the fish in shrimp in a few.
I made this last night, it was really flavorful! Looking forward to eating the leftovers today! I used light coconut milk.
yep this is how we thais do it. from the can.
cans? could you specify what amount is in the cans of green curry paste and coconut milk... kinda vague!
I'm making a variation of this right now!
I'm making it with beef short ribs instead of pork. I think the short ribs (bone) will add good flavor and texture to the sauce. I also simplified, by browning the meat in the cast iron pot, then pull out and fry the curry sauce, and then add everything into pot with one can cocunut milk and a touch of beef stock. In the oven at 250 for 4 hours maybe? I'll have to see. I'll add potatoes at 2 hour mark, and some steamed green beans at the last 20 minutes.
I had something similar at a restaurant, so I thought I'd try with short ribs!
So -
I pulled it out halfway through and skimmed all the fat off that had come to the surface.
I also added some sugar for a bit of sweeness and will add some squeezes of lime at the end to brighten up the flavors a bit. Going well so far!
What is the point of the potatoes if you are going to serve it over rice I would just leave the potatoes out or do they help thicken the sauce. Do you really think it is necessary to brown the pork under the broiler or could you just put it all in the slow cooker.
Jeepyi - meat should always be seared before placing in a slow cooker in order to give depth of flavor. As for having two starches - It's a personal/cultural preference.
If you're looking for an alternative to brown rice - try jasmine rice with this. It has a slightly floral hint to it, and is devine.
I swapped reg potatoes for sweet potatoes. It added depth and the sweetness without adding sugar. I also added green beans in the last half hour.
What's the actual amount on those cans? In ml or cups.
Can't wait to try this
Made it as directed, and it was an epic fail. Not enough coconut milk or green curry paste to give it any flavor at all. Extremely disappointed.
We just finished eating this, and I can't wait to dig into the leftovers tomorrow. Absolutely delicious and I will certainly make this again. I used a little over 2 lbs. of 'country style pork shoulder ribs' (strips of shoulder) and browned them on all sides in a skillet rather than broiler.
By the way, I used a 4 oz jar of green chili paste by Thai Kitchen.
Add coconut past to thicken it up... you will find in any asian store!! Yummy!!
After trying this once, as directed, we put this into our (admittedly broad) regular rotation. We get most of our food through CSAs, so we always have different cuts of meat in the freezer, and we've found that this works well with pretty much all of them (red meat stewing cuts, pork chops, chicken legs) + all types of curry pastes. Right now, we've got a goat + red curry version in the slow cooker for tonight. We usually add some fish sauce towards the end and, when citrus is in season, squeezes of lime juice before serving. Needless to say, we like it!
We absolutely loved this recipe. My husband wants it in our regular rotation of recipes. Very easy and fast to make. I'm a one pan type of gal, so I browned the pork in the fry pan, took it out and then fried the curry paste and added the milk with a slurry of 2 tablespoons of flour and water and then into the cooker. Our local store sells a pork tri trip with no bone and very little fat. I think the next time I will not put the potatoes in and instead thinly slice some onions and bell peppers. During the cooking the curry was a little hot, but after shredding the pork it lost it's heat and was just flavorful from the spices.
Queenie, you could do that, it just may not taste as rich. The browning adds flavor.
I'm kinda bummed... I had this bookmarked forever and just tried it tonight. Even with searing it and adding an onion, I thought it was very bland. If I had more time, I might have reduced the sauce a bit to see if that helped. Oh well. At least pork shoulder is a cheap cut.
This recipe is AWESOME. Spicy and tasty and so easy! I added the juice of 1 lime at the end. I wonder if the varying levels of tastiness versus bland noted above might have to do with using different brands/amounts of curry paste? I used 5 ounces by weight of Mae Ploy brand. I also used baby Yukon Golds for the potatoes - so creamy. Thanks for sharing, this is definitely going in the 'rotation'!
It is seriously interesting how peoples taste buds are so different. What is bland to one is spicy to another.
I am going to try this recipe with tofu instead of pork.

Fibroids are muscular masses found in the uterus. These fibroids should be taken care of at the early stages or they may turn defective, causing severe pain. Fibroids have become a common disorder in many pregnant women above the age of 30. It is more common in African-American women, who develop fibroids earlier than their counterparts of other races.
Such a common disorder can be taken care of with both natural methods as well as with the use of medications. The natural and medication methods – as opposed to removing the fibroids as well as the entire uterus – aim to reduce the effects of the fibroids or at least try to shrink the growths. With natural treatments, the fibroids cannot be totally or instantly removed; they are merely shrunk, in the hopes that they would eventually disappear when their source of nourishment is cut off.
Shrink fibroids with herbs:
Shrinking uterine fibroids is possible by reducing the estrogen levels that encourage their growth. Herbs used for treating fibroids are capable of providing this effect on the estrogen secretors. Dried chaste tree extract is said to have the effect of increasing the secretion of the hormone progesterone. This increase in the hormone can counterattack the effects of estrogen. This helps maintains a good balance of the hormones in the body, specifically at the time of pregnancy. Grapeseed extracts are also said to have some effect of reducing estrogen levels. Aside from these herbs, you can also make use of some supplements such as omega-3, L-arginine, and others that are known to reduce estrogen secretions.
Diet to shrink fibroids:
Fibroids can also be shrunk by consuming the right types of food. This is because what we consume significantly affects our health condition. By the same logic, you should also plan a diet that is programmed to shrink fibroids naturally.
Diets for shrinking fibroids involve reducing the amount of ham and red meat in your regular plan. These food varieties are responsible for increasing estrogen levels. Green vegetables have a lot of benefits – they can protect you from getting fibroids and are helpful in the prevention of many other health disorders. Vegetables that are effective against fibroids include lettuce, broccoli, green beans, spinach, Brussels sprouts, and more. Reducing weight and increasing the fibre content in your diet are other essential steps you can take when trying to shrink fibroids.
Exercises that can shrink fibroids:
There are some exercises that can effectively reduce the size of fibroids in the uterus. The commonly recommended types of exercises for shrinking fibroids are aerobic exercises, yoga, strength training, and belly dancing. Belly dancing tones the pelvic region. which is essential when treating the fibroids that are present in the uterus. Yoga has no side effects, keeping your body fit and healthy. Aerobic and strength training for women are focused on reducing weight, and the less obese a person is, the less her chances of suffering from fibroids.
Acupuncture is a natural treatment that has cured many human health conditions. If you think that this treatment process is nothing but hocus-pocus, think again. There are now even practitioners of acupuncture that are certified and are issued licenses. In acupuncture, the pressure points connected to a certain disorder is hit, thereby delivering cure. This treatment has no side effects if done perfectly by professionals. There is no harm in trying the natural ways to shrink uterine fibroids.

37 high school teams from 10 countries showcase their work and compete in annual Synthetic Biology competition
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 300 high school participants from Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America descended on Cambridge, Massachusetts to compete for the coveted GreenBrick grand prize trophy at the annual iGEM, International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition, High School Jamboree on June 28, 2014.
Finding a cure for liver cancer, stopping desertification and increasing cellular life span are just a few of the ambitious projects this year's high school teams undertook. Applying what they learn in the classroom, students attempted to solve real-world challenges by building genetically engineered biological systems with standard, interchangeable parts called BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working in teams, students designed, built and tested their systems as well as addressed safety, security and environmental implications of their work.
After months of research and preparation, high school students full of potential and curious about synthetic biology gathered together in Cambridge, MA. Their knowledge of synthetic biology was put to the test as each team presented their accomplishments in front of a global audience of their peers and a panel of judges. The team spirit portion elicited the most enthusiastic cheering, as team-produced videos were played for all attendees. At the end of the day, with team presentations, posters and wiki websites evaluated, teams gathered for the results.
iGEM 2014 High School Jamboree winning teams:
Grand Prize, Winner of GreenBrick Trophy: CSIA-SouthKorea, South Korea
1st Runner Up and Best Poster: TP CC-SanDiego, California, USA
2nd Runner Up, Best Wiki and iGEMer's Prize: TAS Taipei, Taiwan

After watching Chloe
I've recently discovered my new favorite band.
Raised by Swans.
Just thought I'd share this with you :)
After watching Chloe
I've recently discovered my new favorite band.
Raised by Swans.
Just thought I'd share this with you :)
Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?
You know what's up !
Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned
What I've learned this month? I'd say I've learned numerous things. But I'd say that throughout this whole year it's been a growing experience. This month chilling with my girls has open my eyes to other opportunities. I've learned it's ok to make mistakes. That I really shouldn't be so hard on myself. People still will care, and won't judge me.
Day 30- Who are you?
Good question. I'm actually still trying to figure that out. Once I find out I'll let you know k ? :P
Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge
I'm doing this because I did enjoy my first 30 day challenge. I saw what this current 30 day challenge had; and it interested me a whole lot. I liked the variety that it had serious questions, pictures, and calm laid back questions.
Day 26- What you think about your friends
The friends that I've luckily kept for about 7 years now has been a blessing. Before them I'd have seasonal friends. It'd be hard to keep a steady friendship. Don't ask me why because I couldn't tell you why. But aside from that I'm honestly grateful that the friends that I have are going to be there throughout my whole life. I can see it now. When we all get married, and having families, and grow old together. We're all going to be there together as a family. We're going to have parties for us and our little ones. It's beautiful just thinking and dreaming about it. As much as I don't wanna get old but the perks of getting older is having the people that you love around you. <3
That's what I think about my friends. They're forever.
Damn I'm a sap.
Day 24- A letter to your parents
Mom and Pops,
I'd like to say that both of you are an inspiration at it's best. Without you I would of never turned out the way I did. I was raised well and I thank them for that. They having given me the world and the least I can do is give them a little piece of that in return by helping them once I get my career going. I love my family, I love my parents to death. I love you mommy and daddy
Day 25- What I would find in your bag
You'd definitely find:
Avacado smoothies for tomorrow :) :)
Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why
Someone I'd like to switch lives is would either be my Lola or Sailormoon. I wanted to see through the eyes of my Lola how life was back then from now. Over the years of her being present she's been alive for different and important occurrences that I'd like to see and experience myself.
And sailormoon because she's a cartoon. I'd always wonder how it'd feel to be in her shoes. Everything looks so magical. I dreamed that my life would a slight piece of what she has.
Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have
I have many things that I'd like to pursue before I disappear from this world. My plans would have to be graduating and going on a break for a year. Work and gain experience with what I'd like to pursue as my career. I'd like to also take the time to travel around the world. That's always have been my dream. It's always good to dream big. Goals..hmm everyday is a struggle I think. And I think my daily goal is to always try to do better than what you did the day before. Whether it be you finish your homework/studying earlier so that you can go out. Or finishing cleaning. Or making yourself a better person mentally. Changing your bad habits, changing your bad attitude, changing your views and perceptions on life. It's always good to re-evaluate yourself for the better. Little by little. My goal is to be remembered as a person that changed many.
Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them
Kaye - My Lola and my mom has always called me Kaye ever since I was a kid. And I liked it a whole lot better than Katrina. It's unique..who do you know that is named kay…with an E :)
Kaye-kee ? - yeah my cousin marlo called me that. And he hasn't quit. LOL so I respond to it.
Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future
uhhhhhh. lets keep that strictly for me to know and for YOU to find out ;)
Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy
Well there a lot of things that make me happy. My family and friends and when everything was plain and simple. :) Maybe in the future
Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else
I'd say my personality. I'm a combination of sorts of emotions, behavior, mentality, perceptions, opinions. I'm really silly. Lets put it at that. I'd like to consider myself a person that's easy to get along with ? I do make an effort to get to know somebody. Cause I'd hate to be the new person and no one tries and makes conversation. So I'd always take the liberty and talk and get to know them. I've learned that. I go out of my way to make my friends happy. You're not gonna find another Kaye like me. I'm a silly inappropriate person that has her mind always in the gutter, that loves finding and learning new things.
Day 23- Something you crave for a lot
I craaaaave many things. Right now especially food ! I'd want a whole lot of chicken waaangs if I could right now from H ( . Y . ) ers. But aside from food I'm craaaaving uhm. LOL idk.
Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play
Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently
Dear you,
If I hurt you to make me hurt me; I'm sorry. I also feel that without hurting someone you do not see how you REALLY feel about that person until you've seen how they really matter to you; UNINTENTIONALLY THAT IS. I'm sorry for hurting you. I cannot express how this effects me on a day to day basis. Although I do know now that it was definitely a learning experience and a stepping stone for me to advance into a better person. I know that gap between him and you wasn't quite what we had expected but I know that everything happens for a reason. And if things are suppose to happen I'm sure they will. I know this sounds very abstract to everyone but to me this is what I wanted to say and finally expressing how I truly feel. I've come to this point in life where I'm not going to force anyone or anything to happen. This year has been a roller coaster full of ups and downs of experiences worth remembering every second of it. I've grown into a different person whether or not people have noticed; despite that I know I've changed and I know I've grown. Without you in my life this ME necessarily wouldn't of blossomed. I'm a lot more closer to my friends and that's something that I'd hope for in a long time. I'm more confident in my opinions. I'm more selfish as far as rather pleasing myself than others. So instead of saying all these hateful things that people would expect out of this but instead I'd like to extend to you my deepest gratitude for hurting me in order for me to turn a new leaf.
New Kaye.
I love watching movies. Seriously I'd give a whole day up to watch movies.
Watching one of my favorites right now. Man on Fire. Seriously one of the greatest movies. Denzel never disappoints.
Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad
Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends
Day 12- How you found out about Tumblr and why you made one
Alright so lets get to it.
Day 10 - Making love into the Night, The Ditty, there are a lot of songs that make me happy. / Happy
Gotta Have You or Flightless bird American Mouth / Sad
Body Language, Dirty Talk, Forever My Lady, or anything on my recently added playlist / Bored
Let's go or It's My time/ Hyped
I don't really know about mad. I guess krumping music ? LOL IDK.
Day 11 -
Day 12
I found out about tumblr was my biff @AlmightyB. She told me about this. And I needed a place to PLACE my thoughts and everyday where abouts and what not. And decided to start up a tumblr. And now i'm crazy about tumblr. I post like every 5 minutes and stuff when I'm at work. LOL I don't know where I'd be without you tumblr. You're a blessing ON the internet ;)
Day 09- Something you're proud of in the past few days
These past few days I'm very proud of the way I handle situations.
Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why
- In no particular order
Check it out! As if I didn't love Chipotle enough already…
National restaurant chain Chipotle has launched a campaign to help children across the nation get healthy school lunches. Chipotle is asking the public to forward their junk e-mails to firstname.lastname@example.com — for each e-mail sent, a donation will be made to the nonprofit organization The Lunch Box.
The mission of the organization is to ensure that "all children…have access to healthy food to grow their bodies, minds and future." To accomplish this, the nonprofit works with schools to teach them how to provide nutritious meals with locally grown food.
Chipotle's goal is to reach 500,000 e-mails sent — and they will donate $50,000 to The Lunch Box. So far, over 90,000 e-mails have been sent, which translates to over $9,000 for school lunches.
So my mom just sent me the confirmations of our hotels that we're staying at. AND now it's gotten me all excited !
When I'm in California I'll be staying in The Westin Desert Willow Villas Palm Dessert
And I'll be staying at Element Las Vegas Summerlin, while obviously I'm in Vegas
I could seriously get used to this. I may never wanna come to Chicago :)
I'll be leaving Sunday ! I'll miss you guys. I wasn't as excited till I saw these pictures. Oh my word.
Whoever was the architect to design these hotels. Are sure on point. I really wish I had that creativity to make my place look like this. One day.
I want to either invest in fishies or plants. or both ? What do you think?
Today just sparked all these ideas for me to do. All at once.
Today I'm baking again Vegan banana bread. I really should document all the baking that I do. I've been successful for the most part in it.
I'll be like that movie Julie and Julia. Where this woman goes through a whole cook book and blogs about it. Maybe I'll do that for both desserts and dinner :)
I wanted to use my steamer that my brother gave me for a housewarming present. So I wanna use that tonight to make dinner ! I'll soon will know how to cook and I won't be so useless!
I've got to get in habit of being productive. I must keep in mind that it's summer and I've got to make the best of it. Usually I would read 3 books within the summer and I still haven't touched a book yet. It's unfortunate. I also wanted to walk around the city and just soak in the sun. I should take advantage of having an open agenda and I should put that to good use.
I'm gonna start today :)
Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you
These two. <3
1. The way they always smell good even if it's just shampoo
2. The way they always find the right spot on our shoulder
3. How cute they look when they sleep
4. The ease in which they fit into our arms
5. The way they kiss you and make everything alright in the world
6. How cute they are when they eat
7. The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end its all worth while
8. The way they are always warm even if its minus 30 degrees
9. The way they look good no matter what they wear
10. The way she fishes for compliments even though you both know shes the most beautiful thing on this earth
11. How cute they are when they argue
12. How their hand always seems to find ours
13. The way they smile
14. The way you feel when you see her name on the caller id after you've had a big fight
15. The way she says "lets not fight anymore" even though you know an hour later……
16. The way they kiss you when you've done something nice for her
17. The way they kiss you when you say "i love you"
18. Actually.. just the way they kiss you
19. The way they fall into your arms when they cry
20. Then apologizing for crying over something that silly
21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt
22. Then the way they apologize when it really does hurt (even though we dont admit it!)
23. The way they say "I miss you"
24. The way you miss them
25. The way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesnt hurt her anymore…Yet regardless whether you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them… it matters not. Because once in your life whatever they were to the world they become the world to you. When you look them in the eyes traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without a trace of sound you know that your own life is inevitably consumed with the rhythmic beatings of her very own heart. We love them for a million reasons, no paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of a mind, but of the heart. A feeling. Only felt.
This is so cute
Day 06- Favorite super hero and why
You already know who's my favorite superhero! Sailormoon!
The reason why is when I was a kid I always wanted to be just like her. She'd rather not fight but when it involved her family and friends she wouldn't hesitate to save them from being in danger. She also had a normal life, a clumsy one that's for sure. Which reminded me of myself just because I'm clumsy, silly, and always wanting to have fun. But when it came to down to business she always stepped up her game.
She was my role model.
I'm watching sailormoon right about now. And it takes me back way back when I used to think about the days when I'd fall in love. I really wished that I'd meet someone like Darien :) lol I'd pass by a town called Darien too and sigh. LOL I'm a hopeless romantic what can I say.
Day 03- A picture of you and your friends
One big happpy family :)
Day 05- A picture of somewhere you've been to
This image does not belong to me.
This would be Manila, Philippines. This is my home. This is where my family grew up and although it may not be much it helps me appreciate how far we've come along and where my roots are.
I never throw things away…
Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn't have.
A habit that I wish I didn't have would have to be a tie between me being lazy or me being impatient. I'd say me being really impatient.
So whenever I'd go out to eat.. have you ever noticed that I don't ever want food to go ? Because that means having to wait to eat your food and having it sit right next to you in the car just taunting you and basically begging to be eaten. I just couldn't live with myself lol. I'm more of an instant gratification type of gal. I also hate waiting for my food. I start to complain.

This is a Father day Restaurant review! This place is my dad's favorite pho place. I come here so often that I'm a regular here. Anyway, the best part about the pho here is the soup base that they use. Unlike the Americanized pho places, the soup here isn't sickeningly sweet and oily. The owner can be quite the bitch, but you have to admit the food is great. To anyone who looks like under 22, she gives free soda. Another note is that the bill here never has cents, its always rounded up or down depending on the owner's mood.
Recommendation: Pho Dac Biet(Pho special)
Price Range: $6-$8 depending on the owners mood
The employee's are really friendly so feel free to ask for extra condiments likes veggies and stuff
