SPOKANE, Wash. — Mick Cronin knew something was off. Within the first minute of the game, the Cincinnati coach was already making substitutions trying to get the Bearcats alert.By the time Cincinnati started playing defense the way Cronin demanded, with the aggressiveness that led to a share of the American Athletic Conference regular season title, the Bearcats could not chase down upstart Harvard. "Defensively, we were far from our best in the first half. That was the difference in the game," Cronin said. "It had us playing from behind all night." Siyani Chambers scored 11 points, including five straight in the final 2 minutes, and 12th-seeded Harvard won its second NCAA Tournament game in history, upsetting Cincinnati 61-57 on Thursday. Wesley Saunders led the Crimson (27-4) with 12 points as Harvard proved last year's upset of New Mexico as a 14 seed was no fluke. The Crimson became the first Ivy League school with NCAA Tournament wins in consecutive years since Princeton in 1983-84. They will play Michigan State in the third round. Harvard never trailed after the opening moments. They played with confidence and scrap against the fifth-seeded Bearcats. They got second and third chances at their own misses. They littered the court scrounging for loose balls. Sean Kilpatrick led Cincinnati (27-7) with 18 points, but the Bearcats failed to win a tournament game for the second straight year. There was a reason Harvard was a popular upset pick. Even President Barack Obama had the Crimson taking out the Bearcats.That reason: defense and balance. All five starters averaged in double figures for the season and that balance was needed against Cincinnati's aggressive defense. Laurent Rivard, the Crimson's 3-point specialist, finished with 11 points, while Steve Moundou-Missi and Brandyn Curry both scored nine.Harvard improved to 15-0 this season when holding its opponent to 60 points or less. They entered the tournament with the 13th-best scoring defense in the country.

10 Books, Films, and Music by Queer People of Color That Would Make Excellent Gifts
By Spectra Speaks On December 22, 2012 · 15 Comments
Shopping is Personal is Political
It's the last (shopping) weekend before Christmas. But if you're anything like me, braving large, busy malls filled with mainstream goodies fueling the hyper-consumerism evident just one week before Christmas isn't your cup of tea. Online shopping, despite the lure of its crowd-less aisles, fancy pop-ups, and steep discounts hasn't proven to be that much better.
Constantly having to decide between clicking on "Gifts for Him' and "Gifts for Her" irks the LGBT activist in me. Then there's the constant temptation to forgo spending your hard earned money on holiday shopping (for family members who aren't as supportive as they should be) altogether and getting yourself, instead, that heavily discounted Xbox with Dance Revolution bundle, flashing obtrusively on the top right corner of your screen just as you're about to check out… Wait, I'm sorry, this isn't about me. I digress.
*deletes Xbox Dance Revolution package from shopping cart… (for now)*
Luckily, I don't have to deal with (most of) the Christmas shopping madness this holiday season. As per my last post, in an attempt to facilitate important conversations with friends and family about my sexuality (so that I can make it through dinner without bursting into tears… or flames), I plan on giving the gift of media created by queer people of color. Luckily, over the past few years, there's been a steady release of media that reflects the lives of LGBTI people with complex racial and ethnic identities while navigating a diverse landscape of cultural and religious beliefs.
A List of Books, Films, and Music by Queer People of Color
Any item(s) from the list below would make great holiday gifts to family, friends, or even to yourself. After all, getting our loved ones to accept us whole is as much of an ongoing process as it is learning to celebrate who we are for ourselves, so why not nourish your spirit this holiday season too?
Note: Because my experience is trans-continental, I've prioritized media created by LGBT people of color with various cultural, ethnic, racial, and national contexts. Also, if I've mis-labeled or mis-represented any of the media producers' identities below, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible (with source) so I can update!
PARIAH (Film)
Written and Directed by African-American lesbian, Dee Rees.
Themes: African-American, Family, Coming Out, Religion, Gender Identity.
This isn't just another queer "coming out" movie. The main character, Alike, already knows that she likes girls; it's coming out to her parents while exploring her gender identity (i.e. more masculine/feminine) that makes this one of my favorite films of all time. This coming of age film is packed with moments familiar enough to resonate with even the most conservative: first crushes (and first kisses), father-daughter bonding, mother-daughter loathing, and siblings who remain annoying as hell but will always be there for you. I loved Pariah so much that I wrote about it twice: My Afrofeminist Review and Coming Out as a Nigerian Boi.
Great Gift For: Everyone, really.
SAVING FACE (Film)
Written and Directed by Chinese-American Lesbian, Alice Wu
Themes: Chinese Culture, Family, Career, Marriage
If I had to put my film picks in order, this would really be at the top. Saving Face is a drama-comedy about two young adults, who are driven by their careers and commitment to family, and thus, find love a tad inconvenient. Saving Face strikes the perfect balance between heart-warming and hilarious. I recommended it to my sister when I first came out and it helped her understand my sexuality, not through the white, class privileged narratives of the L Word, but in the context of our culture. Indeed, part of the film is in Mandarin as the lead characters search for acceptance in a small community in Chinatown, New York.
Great Gift For: Siblings
CIRCUMSTANCE (Film)
Written and Directed by Iranian-American, Maryam Keshavarz
Themes: Iranian, Family, Religion, Government, Censorship
Two young women find love and attempt to escape their -er – circumstance of family and politics. What I love about Circumstance is that the lesbian relationship, though central, isn't the only theme (or issue the women have to worry about) in the movie. Hmm, feels like real life, when religious dogma, traditional parents, and an oppressive government regime are equal (if not greater) thorns on the sides of LGBT people in non-western countries–a reality that quite often goes above my white gay American friends' heads. In any case, there's an (awesome) sex scene that may be awkward to watch with parents (so you may wanna go grab some leftovers during that bit).
Great Gift For: American LGBT friends.
GUN HILL ROAD (Film)
Written and Directed by Latino straight ally Rashaad Ernesto Green
A Latino man is released from prison only to find that his son is in the process of saving up for gender reassignment surgery (i.e. transitioning from living as a man to living as a woman). To cuta a long story short, drama happens, followed by a stereotypical (yet believable) display of machismo, such as forced attendance at baseball games, and an awkward scene with a prostitute. But hey, that's apparently how to be a "man's man" (forget not doing things that land you in prison so that you're around to love your wife and raise your children — that's for sissies). There'll be no shortage of issues to discuss after viewing Gun Hill Road, including the trappings of masculinity, femininity, culture as a barrier to individual expression, and really good acting. Says, the LA Times: "… the quietly commanding turn by newcomer Santana — whose outward embrace of an already well-internalized transformation leaps off the screen with equal parts joy, melancholia and bravery — is a standout."
Great Gift For: Dads, Uncles, All the People with Testosterone in Your Family
THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE (Book)
By Chinese-Jamaican lesbian, Stacey Ann Chin
Themes: Jamaica, Adoption, Family, Womanhood
The first time I saw Stacey Ann Chin speak, I thought to myself, "Damn, I need to be louder!" She's known for thunderous performances, her constant swearing, her political poetry that takes no prisoners. But, if you're a writer, you know how much it takes to bleed the way Stacey Ann does anytime she speaks. And when she writes… goodness, there are no words. Her memoir is a glimpse into the circumstances that birthed the beast: growing up in Jamaica, being raised by her grandmother, and the thrill, pain, hilarity, and confusion that comes with discovering womanhood. A must-read.
Great Gift For: Poets and Writers
MEMORY MAMBO (Book)
By Cuban immigrant lesbian, Achy Obejas
Themes: Cuba, Immigration, Culture, Family, Gender
So, I'm cheating here; I really want to suggest two of Achy Obejas books. The first, "We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?", is a rich, diverse collection of short stories about a Cuban family's journey from their homeland to the beautiful and broken promises of the United States, all the while grappling with new ideas of culture, gender, and sexuality. Her second, Memory Mambo, is a full-length novel centered around a familiar, yet nuanced immigrant narrative; Janua, a 24-year old Latina lesbian, searches for an anchor in the terrain of an new country (with a band of crazy cousins–blood and adopted–who keep dragging her into trouble).
Great Gift For: Cousins, Extended Family
ZAMI: A NEW SPELLING OF MY NAME (Book)
by African-American Lesbian Poet, Writer, and Activist, Audre Lorde
Themes: New York, the 50's, Working Class Black Women, Class
From GoodReads: "Audre Lorde recounts the first half of her life in an amazing blend of her own poetry, popular songs, journal entries, and memories that are startling in their exactness and fairness. Her ability to recount her extreme loneliness and desire for companionship at being Black in gay scenes, gay in Black crowds and female and working class in the U.S. is a testament to her desire to create bridges…" I started reading this book and had to stop because I began resenting my work for constantly interrupting my love affair with this breathtaking novel about living "life at the intersections", a subject for which Audre Lorde is well-known. Zami is moving, powerful, and filled with a tender, vulnerable love for humanity, despite its shortcomings.
Great gift for: Black women (who experienced the 50s in the US e.g. older Aunties?), feminists of all backgrounds
ASH (Book)
Written by lesbian Chinese-American immigrant, Malindo Lo
Themes: Fairy Tales, Cinderella, Love and Romance, Self-Determination
Who doesn't love fairy tales? This re-telling of Cinderella's love story is appropriate for ages 8 and up, says Amazon.com, making it the perfect gift for young cousins, siblings, and adult friends alike. Apparently, rather than fall for the prince who rescues her from an enchanted slumber, Cinderella starts a love affair with the woman her evil queen mother sends to kill her. I haven't read it myself, but after reading glowing reviews I decided to gift myself the Kindle version. Incidentally, an accompanying book, "Huntress", about Cinderella's love interest, was published shortly afterwards. And, the author just released the first book in her new young adult sci-fi series. Juicy. Visit www.malindolo.com to learn more.
Great gift for: Young Children, Parents
I AM (Music)
Jazz composition by gay Guyanese-American, Omar Thomas Large Jazz Ensemble
I grew up listening to Jazz, from the smooth of Miles Davis to the soul of Anita Baker to the afrobeat of Fela Kuti–my father's influence. So when I left home, and became separated from my father, a part of me distanced myself from his favorite music as well… until I met Omar. I fell in love with Omar's love for classic R&B, soul, jazz, and his talent for bringing those genres together in his compositions, which feel old school enough take you on a walk down memory lane, and new school enough to warrant Ne-Yo's replacement as the official baby-making musician of the 2000s. "I Am" will be released on January 15th, but you can pre-order now on iTunes. I'll be getting two copies — one for me, and one for my father, as a reminder that even though we are now worlds apart, our struggles and our love for each other remains, through heart, through life, and through music.
Great gift for: Dads
by queer Latina, Vicci Martinez
I don't often have time to watch TV, but I remember when I heard that a queer Latina musician was rocking out on The Voice, a show similar to American Idol, in which contestants compete to be named "The Voice" of America; I looked her up on YouTube immediately and was blown away by the power of her voice (from a relatively small person!). She's been quoted as saying, "I don't look the way I sound", which, though I get what she means, isn't quite true; she's absolutely beautiful in her gender non-conformity, and her voice, a reverb of yearning to live beyond measure, beyond bounds. The acoustic version of her new single, "Come Along" is a tantrum of emotions, familiar to anyone who may still be wondering how they survived being a teenager, and — as a member of the LBGT community — how to continue singing for freedom in a world where your kind of love is seen as an act of rebellion.
Great gift for: Angst-Filled Teenager
Discuss! What do you think? Would you consider gifting any of these items to yourself, friends, or family? As an ally, have you read / watched / listened to any of the media above? What did that do for your understanding? Also, I'd love to open up this space for recommendations. Which books, films, and/or music or poetry albums would be great additions to this list?

Comments about Mens Nike LunarEclipse 4 Running Shoe:
Broke my foot last year and have been trying to find a decent cushioned pair of running shoes for awhile. I love new balance, but when I tried these, they seemed to offer the cushioning I wanted. I also tried the Gel-Kayano 21's and they were a VERY close second. We'll see how well they hold up but so far, I'm pleased.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I primarily use the shoe to run on the tread mill at my gym. I average about 10 miles a week. Even though I find it be a great running shoe, it did not last as long I thought it would for running indoors (3.5 momnths).

I always tried to wear Nike but just couldn't. I buy size 9 in every shoe but a 9 in Nike was always alittle too short. Until now. These fit perfectly and no hot spots or rubbing as in other shoes with stitching (around bunion area). Very happy feet now!

The Mets haven't had a whole lot go their way this season especially at shortstop. Going into the season they wanted to sign Stephen Drew but that didn't work out and so they turned to the Diamondbacks. Coming into the season, the Snakes had alot of shortstop depth and at the time, Chris Owings and Didi were competing for the job, so the Mets figured why not, and that is what led to rumors about Gregorius.
Apparently, New York is still interested despite the fact that no trade was made last winter. Andy Martino of the New York Daily News talked about this in a recent column: "The Mets also continue to monitor Arizona's Didi Gregorius, although that franchise's recent front office shakeup creates uncertainty. Sandy Alderson has long and complex relationships with both Kevin Towers, the D'Backs GM who worked under him in San Diego, and Tony LaRussa, the newly appointed "chief baseball officer" who managed in Oakland when Alderson was GM. At the moment, it is unclear to other teams which of the two would make a trade, anyway."
The Dbacks ended up going with Chris Owings as the starting shortstop and he has exceeded expectations so far this season. He is one of the top offensive rookies this season batting over .290 and he is starting to drive in more runs. Plus Owings defense is fabulous. Despite all of this, Owings hasn't run away with the job, and I dont know if Cliff Pennington is a better option over Gregorius if Owings were to get hurt for an extended peroid.
Now the Dbacks always need young pitching, but if its not a guy like Noah Syndergard I wouldn't make the trade. I simply think its to big of a risk to trade away Gregorius. The Dbacks will really regret it if Owings gets hurt, simply put I dont think Pennington can produce for a full season like Owings and Gregorius can. Didi has also played really well with Reno this season batting .295 with 20 RBI's.

Things were so carelessly fun. Hours on end of pointless, but meaningful conversation between my close friends and I. I miss those times. I love you guys, I know I complain, and I suppose sometimes I'm greedy with a certain few things, and out of everyone in the whole family I feel as if I'm the one who always needs to have an eye on, but even with that stated, I love you guys. I'm so lucky to have you in my life. I have so many friends I could possibly talk to, but in all reality, in the end of the day, you're the only friends I want to continue life with.
Another thing I'd like to write about is why didn't you say anything to me when you knew I was hurting? Only to tell me later how you felt in the first place? You fail. Things are different now, and I don't understand why you act the way you act sometimes. I'm glad you're one of my close friends though.
I miss you. I wish things could have worked out better for the both of us. I guess, in the end, your happiness was regained and I respect that. I just miss being able to talk to you about stupid things like we once did, for that week and a half. You're an amazing person, inside and out and I wish that person was still here.
You make me happy. You've showed me what love is. In all honestly, I never thought I'd find anyone who had the same amount of interest in me as I would to them. I really thought I was doomed, doomed to never finding the right person made for me. But then, all of the sudden, you came into my life with your cute smile and big blue eyes. I don't know what it is you see in me, but I'm the luckiest girl alive to have you. <3
come off as being over dramatic, nor do I want to become repetitive within my notions and sayings but I feel as if I'm not wanted. "Fuck that…" Really? Seriously? That makes me feel like you don't want to see me, nor do you even "care". You guys only love me when you're under some kind of substance. All the while you're under this trance created by chemicals, bubbling in your mind, it makes me happy because for a short period of time I feel loved by you. But all at the same time, it makes me want to cry. I don't want to be over dramatic, but I don't know how else I would have stated that.
I really do love you with all my heart.
Each and every single one of you.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
I just wanted to see you guy's today.
Possibly hang out.
But the "Bond" was too important.
I fail at being a best, if not that a good, friend.
This is not about the family. Just so people know,
You shouldn't state rather someone is disgusting or not, just because they decide to rekindle a broken friendship. You're really immature. You've started so much between two beautiful beings. Just move, leave, and let everyone else live their lives peacefully.
- Danica
I'm just sad
I feel as if I'm floating away slowly, and by the time responsibility comes along I'll have no one.
I don't know if that will make sense to anyone but myself. I just feel really disconnected from things. I want to know like how I knew before, I want to able to be automatically thought of when plans come along, I want old times to come around. I'm very thankful for how life has brought me all of what I have experienced, but time has came by so quickly, so fast, as to where I hadn't had enough time to enjoy myself back then.
I need time to stop, breathe, and think.
Maybe tomorrow will be a lonely day for me.
to your face
and to the sounds of our brother trying to figure out whose legs belongs to who while we sleep on your bed lol
I wish
People, in general, make me upset. Knowing the capability of others and seeing a few of these actions take place makes me mad.
I also hate it when you can just tell what someone is thinking.
Hate it.
that outlast lip stain by cover girl.
I just finished my essay and I also got my room clean. Hopefully my mother lets me go out tonight!
Be sure to check your phone, for it still might be on vibrate. That being, you might not hear your cellular device when it's time to get up…..due to the fact that the only sound that is trying to awake you from your deep slumber….are the fucking…vibrations.
I woke up late and I could have sworn I wasn't going to make it to the bus on time. But, due to my magical harry potter skills, I made it just in time.
Oh by the way, Dave helped do my hair today. It's red now, but I highly doubt that the colour in my hair will stay. It usually lasts about 4 days and BOOM. Gone. That is just upsetting to me.
Today was fun too, too fun. While my handsome significant other Alex, Papa Mike, and Mini Dk stood amazed in the Apple store today, Dave and I walked away searching for orange-cream-like delights. SUCCESS! Sometimes the Arrowhead mall holds wonderful surprises.
I plan on making sure my phone is on loud when I go to bed tonight. I plan on actually doing my hair in the morning too. Boo you.
happier than happy could ever be.
My hair is in a knotty up do, my face is all unmade, and i'm wearing the worst clothes I probably own, with all of that said I feel absolutely great. It feels like summer before sophomore year all over again. I'm awake all night, and I end up sleeping ALL day. I miss my friends though.
Anyways, school is going to be great, just a few more days and I'm done. Also, just a few more days and my red hair will be here (;
That every time I encounter a Harry Potter fan, I go ape shit.
Harry Potter FTW.
I was a moron.
I don't think age maters though, I'm still a moron.
Two months will have past on Friday and there is something I have to say. I know it's only been two months, to some people that may seem like a really long time, to other's they may just feel like it was insignificant time passing by. I for one, can not say the same. The last two months have gone by increasingly fast. The time that has passed by wasn't insignificant, I've cherished it with someone who has my heart and has molded me into a happier human being.
I'm not sure who will read this, nor do I care. I feel like people should know, I feel like people shouldn't be so surprised when they see myself and the one who calls me dear walking around the corner.
I just want everyone to know, that yes. Love is real. I use to think that love was a type of myth and or over talked about figment of imagination created by people who were bored. I use to tell people that love wasn't real.
Within two months I have been proven wrong. Love is very real. I finally encountered this sickly feeling of romance I have seen in movies and read about in books. It's better than I imagined <3 I love you Alex, I love you so much.
I feel like I'm putting too much thought into something. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting the shorter end of all that is great and wonderful. Sometimes I feel like I'm not getting what I deserve.
But when I'm with the right people, they give me everything I need, everything I deserve, and everything in return just by showing love and concern.
I really am special.
I say that in a non self absorbed way, more like…I know so, due to the people surrounding me. <3
I'll eventually do it again.
However, as of now, I don't feel like it's something important. There are a few things bugging me. I don't have the urge to want to talk to anyone about whatever is on my mind.
Writing about my problems make them more real, tangible, more alive. Fuck.
"What would happen if I died"? I thought about all the things I wanted to or should've said. Things that would forever be left unsaid. I thought about what people would really feel, if they would actually care. But I mostly thought about the things someone else may have wanted to say to me. What if it what they said ended up changing everything? It really is such a stupid thing to think about.
don't think such things, i'd care.
i love you papa
We fought a lot, but that doesn't mean I don't miss you
Several photos make me happy, heres a few:
Sir Alex Brooks tickles my fancy.
You make me smile when I need it, and even when I don't ;) <3
As of late, I've been finding it quite difficult to sleep. Considering I do sleep all day after school and end up waking up around 10 pm..ish, but all in all, I decided with the time that is not being spent dreaming in a deep sea of slumber, that I should write about things, important, more or less, insignificant, or what have you.
First and foremost, I'm grounded. Despite the fact that I have this unusual and incredibly lame punishment, due to Mr. Stone, I'm very happy and content about life. I've never been so ecstatic to just be.
If anyone has noticed my change in mood in the last month, and wondered what was wrong, I'll just let you know that I was secretly going through a rough patch. As I quietly lived a few weeks in a horrible mind set and or mood, I tried masking it. It worked for some while, but after all that thinking, after all that wondering, I no longer have to analyze or worry about my near and distant future. I'm happy. Very, very, very happy. In fact, I can't remember the last time I was this happy about anything.
Another thing that has been bothering me, although I don't think it should, is that people don't seem to believe me when I say the most honest thing I could ever possibly say to another human being. Do people not believe me because of who I once had eyes for? If so, please don't fret. Nothing will, and or ever, come of that.
My life is on a rollercoaster. Hopefully tomorrow, I'll be in a better mood.
A list of minor/and I guess major characteristic factoids about myself. Enjoy.

-when i'm angry, i cry
-when i do not have chapstick at hand, i am unhappy

-usually, i come off open to many things, when secretly, i'm quite private

-even though i am friendly, i do not particularly favor new people
-do not try to contact me via cell phone before 10 am (i will kill you; i'm sleeping)
-i like to tickle mister alex brooks, considering his myspace says i'm allowed to <3

-i sleep like a rabbit
-i love trees, very much so
-i'm your typical 14 year old, too bad i'm actually 17.
-i've given up on talking to strangers about music, they don't seem to understand
-i smile because it takes too much energy to frown
-i tend to repeat myself; and i forget easily
-i think normality isn't what it's cracked up to be
-i've learned to be polite
-i've learned to be mean (when needed)
"Did you think that was fun? Because trust me you won't have that much fun until you discover oral pleasure."
-John Krasinski (Away We Go)
The Harry Potter Series hands down.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
Thats all. Ha
I 've watched every single episode, on every single season.
Granted there was only 2 seasons. But still. I have my fingers
crossed for the 3rd season!
Howl's Moving Castle is my favourite movie, ever.
I feel like this is a shaky thing to discuss. I have lots of songs I absolutely love. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Miniature Tigers, granted that they may definitely be one of my favourite bands ever, but my favourite song has to be written by Connor OBerst. Brighteyes is just simply wonderful, and when my favourite song plays it just makes me think of life and all it's greatness.
Bowl Of Oranges - Brighteyes
The reason as to why I favor this song so much is because of one line:
" He said "Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that would help." So I sat with him a while and then I asked him how he felt. He said, "I think I'm cured. In fact, I'm sure. Thank you stranger, for your therapeutic smile."
Through out the past month has finally lifted off my tense shoulders. I have room to breathe, time to think of the future, and all the love from my friends and wonderful boyfriend I could ever ask for.
I've never been so happy in my life. Everything I want and need is in my reach for my taking whenever I feel it is appropriate to hold on to. Even with knowing that, I haven't even let go in the first place.
Also, as of lately, like as in the past six or seven months, I haven't done anything to further myself in my talents and or hobbies. That includes, writing, drawing, singing, and painting. I use to do all of those things, all the time, I use to be filled with thought and ideas, but my recent choices have made me lazy, there for making me lack of I use to take a huge interest in. I'm going to continue writing in my journal. Despite how happy I am with the placement in my life right now, I miss the old me.
Where'd you go Danica?

Last night i went to Billy's after I got off work, we watched two movies! And I didn't fall asleep during the movies!
Today was so good, Billy and I woke up kinda early, a lot earlier than when we usually get up. Anyways we decided against the zoo, cause it was going to rain, then we got our checks, went to the mall, got some new Cd's and jewelry, got some lunch, drove around, went to choir practice, got dinner, ate way to much food, and saw a movie.
Now I'm at home, chillin by myself, it feels weird not to be with him, hah..oh well. lol.
Collin is coming over tomorrow, I'm not sure what to think of this at all… Warped Tour is going to be weird this year.
Billy and I bought a new pet! Our new rat, Lucifer! He's so cute.
I kinda feel bad for the little guy, Jenny just stares at him…
(via destroyallthatwhichisevil)
Kalli left her Tumblr open, so I posted this..
I was bored, and woke up to late for school, sooo I got new tattoos. Good choice! I went to Dixie Tattoos, thats where CeCe and Cody told me to go, and they did an amazing job. I'll post pics later.
They exist! Fuck ya'll who didn't believe me.
The only get 5-7 in tall, about 9 in long, and only weigh about 10 lbs.
so cute.
My Dad just text me and told me he loved me.
It made me cry.
This is kind of sad. I never leave my room, only for water, and bathroom. I blame my lap top.
The past two days have been awesome. On Friday Billy and I hung out all day, went shopping, drove around, I was kinda pissy, but then Billy sang me Chiodos songs! Then we went to Robbys party, and that was really fun to, a ton of people went, everyone was really cool. Yesterday was really good! I went shopping, again, with Court and Steph, it was nice, then I went to work for two hours, and got sent home early, Jose' was being nice haha, so I went to the fireworks at the park, with Billy and his family. After the fireworks I went to a Keesling party… lol I always hear stories about these partys, and it was more fun than I expected. Overall awesome weekend. Its not even over yet! And I don't have school Monday! WOOO.
soo sleepyyy. busyy day tmrw,

Springtime: nothin' wrong with that.
There's tons of inspiration to be had from this thread on StyleForum, in which folks are posting their favorite spring and summer looks. It's a reminder that just because the sun is out doesn't mean style has to be abandoned.
Summer is approaching, and if you've been paying attention to menswear for more than a year, you know every menswear magazine and blog is about to run the same threadbare advice - wear seersucker and cotton suits, and utilize linen when you can, in order to manage the heat. In the coming days and weeks, I'll cover the same topics, but let's start with a little advanced placement menswear. Many of you already know the basic summer fabrics, but what else is available?
Well, for suits, I recommend fresco - a wool fabric specifically designed for summer wear in the hottest climates. The fabric is woven in an open, porous weave, which allows your skin to more easily breathe and take advantage of every breeze that comes through. The fabric isn't fragile either; the yarn is made with a high twist in order to give it the tensile strength it needs to compensate for the fabric's open weave. The result is a high-grade, cool, crisp fabric that looks just like any other worsted wool from a distance. It's a great way keep cool in the summer, but not compromise your elegance by resorting to cotton, linen, or seersucker for your suiting.
Similarly, you don't have to just rely on cotton or linen pants in the summer. Try tropical weight wools, otherwise known as lightweight wools (of which fresco is considered one). These work much better for trousers than cotton because they're, again, woven in a more open weave and allow your skin to breathe. They also help wick away sweat, bringing them away from your skin and towards the surface of the wool, where it can evaporate. Cotton, on the other hand, just absorbs sweat, which cuts down on air exchange. It also wrinkles a lot more than lightweight wool, which makes it look terrible, especially on hot days. It may seem counter intuitive to wear wool pants in the summer, but if you get the right weight and weave, it's actually your smartest bet.
For shirts, aim for the same open weaving. Here I recommend voile, a cool, almost gauzy, cotton fabric. The problem with many types of voile, however, is that they can be a bit sheer. In fact, the name derives from French and means "veil." Many aren't fit for the modest man, but if you get one in a textured surface, and in a color like blue or ecru, it's much more opaque and wearable. Alternatively, you can also opt for madras, an East Indian fabric that has a lightweight, airy quality. The patterns can be bit loud, but that's kind of the charm. True madras is a bit hard to find nowadays, but I did a round up of madras shirts a while ago, so you can read through this post to see some of your options.
Linen and seersucker are great, but there's an entire world of fabrics out there that is under explored. Know what's available to you and you'll have a much more unique wardrobe this summer than your standard cotton jacket, chinos, and polo uniform (though there's nothing wrong with that, either).
Trick Daddy f/ Big Boi & Cee-Lo - "In Da Wind" (Atlantic/Slip-N-Slide, 2002)
Go outside.
Oh man. Spring is here, people. Spring is here.
(And if you're wondering, the answer is YES. PTO luh' the kids.)
The Only Swim Trunks You Need
I think we can all agree that a grown man looks ridiculous in board shorts, and even more absurd in a Speedo. That leaves traditional swim trunks. I prefer them in a fast-drying synthetic, with a slim profile, no logo and a solid color scheme. That's surprisingly tough to find, especially at a reasonable price point, but there is a solid option: Lands' End.
I like the Men's 6" Volley Swim Shorts, which are $24.50 at full price, come in some nice colors and will be plenty stylish for years of use. Lands' End has frequent sales - you just missed a 25% off and free shipping code - and with a little patience, you might manage to pay less than twenty bucks. If you happen to be a size small, there are even some of last year's colors for $16.97.
The quality of Lands' End products is unspectacular but solid. I, for one, really appreciate a source for decent basics at a reasonable price, with great customer service policies. Fits and styles at LE are rarely fashion-forward, but for things like swim trunks, they needn't be. Simple is best.
(PS: How about that creepy disembodied guy up top? Sweet, right?)
It's On eBay
Vintage Herbert Johnson Panama Hat (7 5/8)
Still getting ready for a big move, which means getting some stuff that doesn't fit out of the house. When it comes to Panamas, this is the Real Deal, by Herbert Johnson, who've been operating continuously since the 18th century.
It's On eBay
Benjamin Bixby Polo Shirts
I've written already about how much I already miss Benjamin Bixby, Andre Benjamin's wonderful Gatsby-esque clothing line. I bought a huge amount of stuff on clearance at a store in San Francisco, including a bunch of these polos, which have a great slim fit. There are currently a number of models on eBay at $10 each.
These are the summer shoes you need.
I feel like this sneaker has been under the blog radar for a minute and is a total sleeper pick for S/S. The Converse All Star Cup is kind of like the Hyundai Equus of sneakers, luxury feel and features at a value price (someone is probably gonna try and shoot down that analogy… but oh well I stand by it). With premium leather upper, classic silhouette, and a clean toe the All Star Cup is a great option for the guy that wants a fashion forward yet classic sneaker. Forget Common Projects, go with the originator.
A very handsome sneaker indeed, with a very appealing price - $65.
Or $34.99 if you look hard enough. (thanks, Olivia!)
(via dieworkwear)
Love this jacket from the Spring-Summer 2011 Gap collection. This type of simple, cotton tailored piece is a great way to turn a casual outfit into something that looks put-together.

of assault at store
WEST FAIRLEE Vermont State Police have arrested a distraught man at a convenience store on a charge of aggravated assault with a weapon, accusing him of threatening two men with a knife.
Police said Edwin Huntley, 38, of Fairlee was arrested Tuesday at the B&B Cash Market in West Fairlee. They said he got into an argument with two men and is accused of threatening them and punching one.
Police discovered a warrant was already out for Huntleys arrest, and he was wanted for questioning in another assault case from last month.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON The financially troubled Burlington College is planning to sell 25 acres of land...

I.C.F.F. | The Wrap-Up

In case you weren't able to keep up, here are the highlights of the week.
Sam Baron, the designer of our latest T, a sausage-shaped glass sculpture for the Design and Living issue, indulges in some of his favorite saucisson.
The International Contemporary Furniture Fair features more than 500 exhibitors from 39 countries.
At the London Design Festival, the writer and curator Max Fraser has organized three exhibitions to publicize his brand-new "London Design Guide." Each exhibition is thematically linked to one of what his book describes as the city's design tribes: the New Modernists are shown at Viaduct; the Escapists at the design store Mint; and the Revivalists at the Contemporary Applied Arts gallery. They're all interesting shows, but it's that last one that caught my eye, because everywhere you look this week, historical references abound, particularly among young designers.
Young designers at this year's London Design Festival have found a new patron saint in Tom Dixon, who recently moved his studio to a former Virgin Records recording studio in a newly minted business complex called Portobello Dock.
When it comes to Spanish design, technically speaking, Barcelona is the center of the action — Javier Mariscal, Enric Ruiz Geli and the majority of the country's young talents all keep studios there. But the biggest Spanish design event takes place in Valencia, Barcelona's paella-obsessed neighbor to the south.

A group of Neuromuscular Junctions (NMJs), synaptic contact between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers, at the sides of the intramuscular nerve which runs perpendicular to the muscle fibers. At the NMJs, the action potential triggers the release of acetilcholine, eliciting a post-synaptic potential at the muscle fiber and finally the contraction of muscle fibers. Motoneurons are stained for neurofilament in red, the myelin sheath produced by Schwann cells stained with an antibody against P0 (myelin protein zero) in green and post-synaptic sites for acetilcholine receptors in blue (colocalization of red and blue in the terminal boutons appears pink). Non myelinated axons are red and thin. Imaged using confocal microscopy.

Daily Disciples Devotional - December 8
December 8
Today's Thoughts: Who Do You Say that I am?
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:15-18
Who do you say Jesus is? Many of us would agree with Peter that He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. But do we know what that looks like in our daily lives?
Even though Jesus was Peter's friend and teacher, Peter was very aware that the religious leaders did not believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah. Despite all the miracles, Jesus did not come as the Jewish people envisioned. Jesus seemed to purposely perform miracles and teach things that bothered others and contradicted their lifestyle. People had conflicting views on who Jesus was. However, when Peter was asked who Jesus was, his answer was firm and Jesus rewarded His words.
There are difficulties and conflicts in our lives today that do not reflect the God we want to believe. Those things are placed in our lives as tests to examine what we will declare about Jesus. Can you say that despite the hardships, conflicts, struggles and stresses in your life, Jesus is your Christ, the Son of the living God? Does Jesus impact your life daily, making a difference in the way you think, feel and what you say? If your faith is wavering in belief, ask the Lord to reveal to you who Jesus is, just like He did with Peter. People and circumstances will change with seasons and times of life; but when all said and done, we want our faith and convictions to be as solid as rocks so that the gates of Hades shall not prevail against us.
Daily Disciples Ministries, Inc., founded by Tonilee Adamson and Bobbye Brooks, embraces a vision to reach the world for Christ by teaching others how to be His daily disciples. Their mission is to evangelize the lost and to re-awaken the saved to live lives empowered by the Word of God and His Holy Spirit, and to teach and to train those who desire to grow, to serve and to have all that God has for them…encouraging everyone to be a daily disciple of Jesus Christ. From Bible studies to daily devotionals to daily radio programs to a comprehensive discipleshipprogram, Bobbye & Tonilee have a passion to help others apply the Word of God to their lives every day.

Flower Garden (1905-1907)
Gustav Klimt
People always say that it hurts at night
and apparently screaming into your pillow at 3am
is the romantic equivalent of being heartbroken.
But sometimes
it's 9am on a tuesday morning
and you're standing at the kitchen bench waiting for the toast to pop up
And the smell of dusty sunlight and earl gray tea makes you miss them so much
you don't know what to do with your hands.
sometimes you meet someone, and it's so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. as lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. you just work, whether you understand one another or you're in love or you're partners in crime. you meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. i don't know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.
8 Ways To Say I Love You
1. Spit it into her voicemail, a little slurred and sounding like the shot whiskey you downed for courage. Feel as ashamed as you do walking into work in last night's clothes. Wake up cringing for days, waiting for her to mention it.
2. Sigh it into her mouth, wedged in between teeth and tongues. Don't even let your lips move when you say it, ever so lightly, into the air. Maybe it was just an exhalation of ecstasy.
3. Buy her flowers. Buy her chocolate. Buy her a teddy bear, because that's what every romantic comedy has taught you. Take her out to a nice restaurant where neither of you feel comfortable and spend the whole night clearing your throat and tugging at your tie. Feel like your actions are more suited to a proposal than the simple confession of something you've always known.
4. Whisper it into her hair in the middle of the night, after you've counted the space between her breaths and are certain she's asleep. Shut your eyes quickly when she shifts toward you in askance. Maybe you were just sleep whispering.
5. Blurt it out in the middle of an impromptu dance party in the kitchen, as clumsy as your two left feet. When time seems to freeze, hastily tack on "in that shirt" or "when you make your award-winning meatballs" or, if you are feeling particularly brave, "when we do this." Resume dancing and pretend you don't feel her eyes on you the rest of the night.
6. Write her a letter in which the amount of circumnavigating and angst could rival Mr. Darcy's. Debate where to leave it all day – on her pillow? In her coat pocket? Throw it away in frustration, conveniently leaving it face up in the trashcan, her name scrawled on the front in your sloppy handwriting. Let her wonder if you meant it.
7. Wait until something terrible has happened and you can't not tell her anymore. Wait until she almost gets hit by a car crossing Wabash against the light and after you are done cursing at the shit-for-brains cab drivers in this city, realize you are actually just terrified of living without her. Tell her with your hands shaking.
8. Say it deliberately, your tongue a springboard for every syllable. Over coffee, brushing your teeth side-by-side, as you turn off the light to go to sleep – it doesn't matter where. Do not adorn it with extra words like "I think" or "I might." Do not sigh heavily as if admitting it were a burden instead of the most joyous thing you've ever done. Look her in the eyes and pray, heart thumping wildly, that she will turn to you and say, "I love you too."
"We are all, everyone in this room, so fortunate."
Just because someone desires you, it does not mean that they value you.
Read it over.
Let those words resonate in your mind.
- What girls say: I'm fine
- What girls mean: I'm too embarrassed to ask for water from your mom because this is the first time I've been over and she's asked me like 500 times if I wanted any and I've been saying no but I'm dying of thirst
Similarities Between Titanic and The Great Gatsby
A young man who was born dirt poor
with plans of starting out fresh in New York
who falls in love with a woman named after a flower
and pretends to be someone he's not along the way
and his true love is already taken by a huge douche
but he doesn't care
then he dies in water
And Leo still doesn't get a freaking Oscar
I want your stupid fucking sense of humour making me laugh at 4am when I have to be up at 6.
I hate the feeling when you have to say goodbye to someone you want to spend every minute with.

More reviews by ShirlynnFusion
I absolutely love this blush. its shimmery a light pretty pink.
im a little bit golden toned so it doesn't matter what skin color you have, its perfect for any skin color.
i would buy this again. it lasts forever because you don't really need to put too much on.
for around 25 USD its a real good investment.
More reviews by jellybeankthxbai
Favorite. Hands down. Im very pale, and this provides a nice peachy pink glow. And does not take alot which is good. Also comes in cute packaging. :) Definitely will continue to buy this!
BEST blusher ever! Pink blushers don't really look that nice on me so this mix of pink, peach and coral looks really nice on my skin (I'm quite pale). It is such a nice blusher, quite pigmented so you don't have to use loads. Not a fan of Benefit packaging but it's the product inside that counts. I really like the smell too :)
This is a beautifully coloured blush - a bright peachy-coral colour that is very flattering on my cool-toned medium complexion. A particularly great colour for summer. The blush has good pigmentation, is smooth to apply and blends out well. I wish the packaging was more practical and convenient though so that it could be carried around without getting tattered. There's noticeable shimmer to it, but it's not as full-on as many other shimmery blushes, and it's a fine shimmer as opposed to glittery so if you don't mind a bit of shimmer, then this is a good one to try. This would score higher for me if it was matte, but it's still otherwise a really good blush.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Probably my favourite blush. Even over NARS. Shock! It is really nicely pigmented, blends like a dream and feels silky smooth. Just makes me look so much fresher when i wear it. Will buy forever!
I love this blush! It gives a nice glowy peachy look thats good for all of your face as well so its good for a blush and a bronzer type thing.
I have been wanting to try this for a long time. I know a lot of other reviewers have compared this to Nars orgasm, however, I have to politely disagree. It is in the same shade of blush colour , however there is no shimmer like with orgasm. It is more of a matte finish. You need very little of this product. It to me is the perfect pinky peach colour without shimmer. I love the pakaging also....it is cardboard so is keeping "green" ...I like this. Usually I like to change up the colour of my blushes every few days but since I got this it is my go to colour. It is heavily pigmented so a little goes a long way...this product is a little pricey but should last a long time. I would surely suggest others to give this a try and will repurchase. I got a great deal on ebay....check it out...you may get a deal too!!!
7 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
As my skin tone is quite sallow, really pink blushers look a bit out of place on me.
HOWEVER! coralista is the perfect combination of pink and peach and goes on so and easily and can be used lightly for a cutesy glow or added to for more dramatic colour for night.
it is a little pricey at £22-50, but my boyfriend bought it for me :D and i can assure you it lasts a long time! a little can go a long way, trust me!
the packaging looks great, but when i first picked it up, the lid came right off in my hand so i was a little worried. but there is a little plastic insert that keeps everything in order!
the little brush that comes with it is more sturdy than the "hello flawless" benefit brush and is really soft too but i still prefer to use the brushes i already have.
either way, love the colour and i'm definately going to rebuy when it runs out. which will be a long way away :)
I was afraid of this powder when I first bought it but I took a chance. It seemed it would appear fusia pink on my cheeks but I was wrong. This is a very nice peach-coral color on the cheeks. It what I was hoping NARS Orgasm to be. Unfortunately, NARS Orgasm appeared too pink on me and the sparkle was more like glitter and the blush overall was too frosty. This however has the slightest, finest shimmer that doesn't look obvious at all but rather natural on the cheeks. Beautiful blush!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I LOVE this blush, I wear this blush everyday since the first day that i got it.
It is sooo pretty on my medium- fair skin i love.
People say that this look like Nars Orgasm and it is real, i have to say that the coralista it is way less shimmery than the Orgasm WHICH I LOVEE!

Thinking nitrogen for the spring
The snow is gone and summer is here? The change in weather this spring has allowed for earlier field work to begin. Questions that come to mind include what kind of tillage should I do and do these condition affect me nitrogen management program for corn.
Tillage for this spring.
Last fall tillage was difficult at best to do because of the dry conditions. Large, hard clods were created with the fall tillage. It looks like the moisture, we did get this winter did mellow the clods enough that a tillage operation will be able to create a good seedbed this spring. One thing to keep in mind, unless we get a large amount of rain this spring, do not over till your fields. Tillage will dry the soil out and cause a dry seedbed. This will cause problems with plant stands and thus effect grain yield even if we receive adequate amounts of moisture during the growing season.
With field conditions rapidly improving there likely will be nitrogen applicators getting into fields. What about the nitrogen management problem for corn production in 2012?
What should I expect if I put on my nitrogen last fall?
It's true that field conditions were less than optimum for N application last fall. The dry soil conditions made it difficult for fall anhydrous ammonia application and the incorporation of urea. There are many questions about the status of that nitrogen. Will you need to make a supplemental N application this spring? At this point there is no good way to assess the amount of N in the soil. Soil sampling for soil nitrate-N at this time is unreliable and will likely not give an accurate picture of what is still contained within the soil. The soils have started to warm. At this point in time (March 18), we would not expect a large amount of conversion of ammonium to nitrate within the soil if the fall applications were applied according to NBMPs, such as application when soil temperatures are less than 50 degrees and the anhydrous band was sealed and did not volatilize out of the soil after application. The best option at this point would be to wait and plan on a side-dress application. This side-dress application would be planned based on the supplemental N application decision tool developed by the University of Minnesota.

I did not apply N last fall, should I be applying N this early?
Soil conditions do appear to be ideal for application but there still is some risk associated with application this early in the season. First, if you have sandy soils you should not consider early application. Nitrogen applied as part of the starter and a side-dress application is the best practice on sandy soils.
