LONGMONT -- Kendra Balentine, 18, repeatedly and publicly said she was not the driver responsible for hitting and killing a 16-year-old boy fleeing a fight on New Year's Eve, and on Thursday Boulder County prosecutors dismissed the felony charge against her.
"The evidence shows that the Chevy Cavalier attributed to her was not involved in the fatal accident on New Year's Eve," said Boulder County prosecutor Ryan Brackley. "Her car was not there."
The 18-year-old Longmont woman said she was at Messiahville Baptist Church on New Year's Eve with her family and congregation when 16-year-old Jason Grimmer was struck and killed on the 2200 block of Main Street as he fled a fight. Police reported that the boy was running from a clash between a several white men and boys and a group of black men.
Police investigating the hit-and-run on Jan. 3 arrested Balentine, who is related to some of the men in the fight, on suspicion of leaving the scene of a fatal crash and reported that her car was the one that struck Grimmer.
Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur repeatedly said investigators were certain they had the right car, which was impounded when Balentine was arrested, and that evidence on the car backed up their suspicions.
Balentine repeatedly said she was at church and that no one else had access to her vehicle, which was parked in the church's lot. Her pastor also publicly vouched that she never left the church and that she was present and playing games with others when the fatal crash occurred. He said his son and others were playing in the parking lot at the time of the crash and told him that no cars came or went during that time.
Balentine said damage to her car was done when she struck a parked car the Sunday before Grimmer's death.
Brackley said on Thursday investigators concluded her story about the damage was accurate and that no evidence -- forensic or otherwise -- connects her car to the scene of Grimmer's death.
"The Longmont Police Department still needs the public's help in identifying the person responsible for the fatal hit-and-run vehicle," Satur said in a prepared statement released Thursday afternoon. "We are continuing to review video footage and canvassing repair shops in hopes of identifying the suspect vehicle or determining a better description of the suspect vehicle that may have struck Mr. Grimmer."
Brackley said the investigation did lead detectives to Balentine, but that police gave her the benefit of the doubt and investigated her claims as well. Police and prosecutors met to discuss the case Thursday morning and concluded that the charge against Balentine should be dismissed, Brackley said.
"The Longmont Police Department deserves credit for a very thorough ongoing investigation in which they followed the evidence wherever it took them," Brackley said.
Satur said on Thursday afternoon that investigators are "back to square one" and are hopeful anyone who saw anything that night will offer tips.
Stephanie Balentine, Kendra Balentine's mother, said early Thursday afternoon that the family did not yet know about the dismissal.
"Thank God," she said.
Grimmer's family declined to comment.
Anyone with information about the hit and run is asked to call the Longmont Police Department at 303-651-8501 or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.Pierrette J. Shields can be reached at 303-684-5273 or email@example.com.

About Me
"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth." -Catcher in the Rye

Susan Dennard
In a continent on the edge of war, two witches hold its fate in their hands.
Young witches Safiya and Iseult have a habit of finding trouble. After clashing with a powerful Guildmaster and his ruthless Bloodwitch bodyguard, the friends are forced to flee their home.
Safi must avoid capture at all costs as she's a rare Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lies. Many would kill for her magic, so Safi must keep it hidden - lest she be used in the struggle between empires. And Iseult's true powers are hidden even from herself.
In a chance encounter at Court, Safi meets Prince Merik and makes him a reluctant ally. However, his help may not slow down the Bloodwitch now hot on the girls' heels. All Safi and Iseult want is their freedom, but danger lies ahead. With war coming, treaties breaking and a magical contagion sweeping the land, the friends will have to fight emperors and mercenaries alike. For some will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.
This bind-up features all five e-novellas, available in print for the first time!
Courtney C. Stevens
Set before the events of Courtney C. Stevens's debut novel, Faking Normal, this digital short story focuses on Bodee Lennox, otherwise known as the Kool-Aid Kid.
Bodee Lennox has secrets. About where he got the four-inch scar on his leg. About the bruises on his back. About what it's really like to live in the Lennox household. These are things he doesn't share with anyone . . . until he meets Gerry, a girl with bright-green hair and a smile the size of Alaska. When Gerry falls out of a bus in Rickman, Tennessee, and lands at Bodee's feet, she gives Bodee two things he desperately needs: a friend and a chance to leave Rickman behind, even if it's just for a few hours.
He joins Gerry on her epic bus trip for as far as his money will take him. And by the end of the day, more of Bodee has changed than just the color of his hair.
HarperTeen Impulse is a digital imprint focused on young adult short stories and novellas, with new releases the first Tuesday of each month.
Emma Pass
The year is 2113. In Jenna Strong's world, ACID—the most brutal controlling police force in history—rule supreme. No throwaway comment or whispered dissent goes unnoticed—or unpunished. And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a horrendous crime she struggles to remember. But Jenna's violent prison time has taught her how to survive by any means necessary.
When a mysterious rebel group breaks her out, she must use her strength, speed, and skill to stay one step ahead of ACID, and try to uncover the truth about what really happened on that terrible night two years ago. They have taken her life, her freedom, and her true memories away from her. How can she reclaim anything when she doesn't know who to trust?
Strong, gritty writing, irresistible psychological suspense, and action consume the novel as Jenna struggles to survive against the all-controlling ACID. Seriously sinister stuff.
Mike Mullin
The Yellowstone supervolcano nearly wiped out the human race. Now, almost a year after the eruption, the survivors seem determined to finish the job. Communities wage war on each other, gangs of cannibals roam the countryside, and what little government survived the eruption has collapsed completely. The ham radio has gone silent. Sickness, cold, and starvation are the survivors' constant companions.
When it becomes apparent that their home is no longer safe and adults are not facing the stark realities, Alex and Darla must create a community that can survive the ongoing disaster, an almost impossible task requiring even more guts and more smarts than ever—and unthinkable sacrifice. If they fail . . . they, their loved ones, and the few remaining survivors will perish.
This epic finale has the heart of Ashfall, the action of Ashen Winter, and a depth all its own, examining questions of responsibility and bravery, civilization and society, illuminated by the story of an unshakable love that transcends a post-apocalyptic world and even life itself.
Sally Green
A stunning, magical debut. An international sensation.
In modern-day England, witches live alongside humans: White witches, who are good; Black witches, who are evil; and fifteen-year-old Nathan, who is both. Nathan's father is the world's most powerful and cruel Black witch, and his mother is dead. He is hunted from all sides. Trapped in a cage, beaten and handcuffed, Nathan must escape before his sixteenth birthday, at which point he will receive three gifts from his father and come into his own as a witch—or else he will die. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is tracked, when there is no one safe to trust—not even family, not even the girl he loves?
In the tradition of Patrick Ness and Markus Zusak, Half Bad is a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive, a story that will grab hold of you and not let go until the very last page.
Danielle Paige
I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.
But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know?
Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still the yellow brick road, though—but even that's crumbling.
What happened?
Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.
My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas.
I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.
I've been trained to fight.
And I have a mission:
Remove the Tin Woodman's heart.
Steal the Scarecrow's brain.
Take the Lion's courage.
Then and only then—Dorothy must die!
Melissa de la Cruz
Magic is power, and power is magic...
Once they were inseparable, just two little girls playing games in a mighty castle. Now Princess Marie-Victoria, heir to the mightiest empire in the world, and Aelwyn Myrddyn, a bastard mage, face vastly different futures.
Quiet and gentle, Marie has never lived up to the ambitions of her mother, Queen Eleanor the Second. With the help of her Merlin, Eleanor has maintained a stranglehold on the world's only source of magic. While the enchanters faithfully serve the crown, the sun will never set on the Franco-British Empire.
As the annual London Season begins, the great and noble families across the globe flaunt their wealth and magic at parties, teas, and, of course, the lavish Bal du Drap d'Or, the Ball of the Gold Cloth.
But the talk of the season is Ronan Astor, a social-climbing American with only her dazzling beauty to recommend her. Ronan is determined to make a good match to save her family's position. But when she falls for a handsome rogue on the voyage over, her lofty plans are imperiled by her desires.
Meanwhile, Isabelle of Orleans, daughter of the displaced French royal family, finds herself cast aside by Leopold, heir to the Prussian crown, in favor of a political marriage to Marie-Victoria. Isabelle arrives in the city bent on reclaiming what is hers. But Marie doesn't even want Leopold-she has lost her heart to a boy the future queen would never be allowed to marry.
When Marie comes to Aelwyn, desperate to escape a life without love, the girls form a perilous plan that endangers not only the entire kingdom but the fate of the monarchy.
Danielle L. Jensen
For those who have loved Seraphina and Graceling comes another truly fabulous fantasy...
Trolls are said to love gold. They are said to live underground and hate humans. They are said to be evil. When Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and sold to the trolls, she finds out that there is truth in the rumours, but there is also so much more to trolls than she could have imagined.
Cécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus, the city she hadn't even known existed under Forsaken Mountain: escape. But the trolls are inhumanly strong. And fast. She will have to bide her time, wait for the perfect opportunity.
But something strange happens while she's waiting - she begins to fall in love with the handsome, thoughtful troll prince that she has been bonded and married to. She begins to make friends. And she begins to see that she may be the only hope for the half-bloods - part troll/part human creatures who are slaves to the full-blooded trolls. There is a rebellion brewing. And her prince, Tristan, the future king, is its secret leader.
As Cécile becomes involved in the intricate political games of Trollus, she becomes more than a farmer's daughter from Goshawk's Hollow. She becomes a princess, the hope of a people, and a witch.
Libba Bray

Ann Brashares
Follow the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love.
Thrilling, exhilarating, haunting, and heartbreaking, The Here and Now is a twenty-first-century take on an impossible romance. Ann Brashares' first novel for teens since The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is about a girl from the future who might be able to save the world . . . if she lets go of the one thing she's found to hold on to.
Meet seventeen-year-old Prenna James, who immigrated to New York when she was twelve. Except Prenna didn't come from a different country. She came from a different time—a future where a mosquito-borne illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins.
Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where they're from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she's told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the earth. But everything changes when she falls for Ethan Jarves.

Loyalty. Envy. Obligation. Dreams. Disappointment. Fear. Negligence. Coping. Elation. Lust. Nature. Freedom. Heartbreak. Insouciance. Audacity. Gluttony. Belief. God. Karma. Knowing what you want (there is probably a French word for it). Saying Yes. Destiny. Truth. Devotion. Forgiveness. Life. Happiness (ever after).
Hannah and Zoe haven't had much in their lives, but they've always had each other. So when Zoe tells Hannah she needs to get out of their down-and-out New Jersey town, they pile into Hannah's beat-up old Le Mans and head west, putting everything—their deadbeat parents, their disappointing love lives, their inevitable enrollment at community college—behind them.
As they chase storms and make new friends, Zoe tells Hannah she wants more for her. She wants her to live bigger, dream grander, aim higher. And so Zoe begins teaching Hannah all about life's intangible things, concepts sadly missing from her existence—things like audacity,insouciance, karma, and even happiness.
An unforgettable read from the acclaimed author of The Probability of Miracles, The Museum of Intangible Things sparkles with the humor and heartbreak of true friendship and first love.
Erin Bowman
The Heists were only the beginning.
Gray Weathersby escaped from the primitive town of Claysoot expecting to find answers, but what he discovered shook him to the core: A ruthless dictator with absolute power. An army of young soldiers blinded by lies. And a growing rebellion determined to fight back.
Now Gray has joined a team of rebels on a harsh, icy journey in search of allies who can help them set things right. But in a world built on lies, Gray must constantly question whether any ally—or enemy—is truly what they seem…
Christopher Healey
All your favorite princes, princesses, and villains return in the hilarious and action-packed conclusion to the acclaimed hit series that began with The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom.
Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You think you know those guys pretty well by now, don't you? Well, think again. Briar Rose, aka Sleeping Beauty, has been murdered, and the four Princes Charming are the prime suspects, along with Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Princess Lila. Now they're on the run from all manner of bounty hunters in a desperate attempt to clear their names.
Along the way, however, they discover that Briar's murder is just one part of a nefarious plot to take control of all thirteen kingdoms—a plot that will lead them across the ocean with a deadly band of pirates, through a scorching desert in search of an ancient djinn, and to the doorstep of an eerily familiar fortress for a final showdown with an eerily familiar enemy.
Christopher Healy returns once again to the fairy-tale world he created in The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom for the last installment in his epically humorous history. Giant mongooses will be battled, brain-melting beetles will be run from, dozens of feathers will be plucked, and, perhaps, a kingdom will finally be saved, now and forever.
Elizabeth May

Hanna is apprenticed to a taciturn fisherman called Kolur, and, during a day of storms and darkness, are swept wildly off course.

Sure, her father is in an insane asylum, her mother left her on his doorstep—literally—when she was a baby, and she's being raised by two ancient aunts who spend their time hunting gnomes in their Beacon Hill townhouse. But other than that her life is totally normal! She's got an adventurous best friend who's always got her back and an unrequited crush on an older boy named Ben. Just like any other teenager, right?
When Selkie goes in search of the mother she's never known, she gets more than she bargained for. It turns out that her mother is faerie royalty, which would make Selkie a faerie princess—except for the part where her father is an ogre, which makes her only half of anything. Even more confusing, there's a prophecy that Selkie is going to destroy the tyrannical Seelie Court, which is why her mother actually wants to kill her. Selkie has been kept hidden all her life by her adoring aunts, with the help of a Salem wizard named Will. And Ben. Because the boy she thinks she's in love with turns out to be a faerie whose enchantment has kept her alive, but also kept her in the dark about her own life.
Now, with enchantments dissolved and prophecies swinging into action, Selkie finds herself on a series of mad quests to save the people she's always loved and a life she's learning to love. But in a supernatural world of increasingly complex alliances and distressingly complicated deceptions, it's so hard to know who to trust. Does her mother really wish to kill her? Would Will sacrifice her for the sake of the prophecy? And does Ben really love her or is it all an elaborate ruse? In order to survive, Selkie realizes that the key is learning—and accepting—who she really is.

A childhood marked early by the drowning death of her mother—a death to which Callie was the sole witness.

But after years of running away, the promise of a life-changing job for her father brings Callie and him back to the coast, to Florida, where Callie's symptoms miraculously disappear. For once, life seems delightfully normal. But the ocean's edge offers more than healing air it holds a magnetic pull, drawing Callie closer and closer to the chilly, watery embrace that claimed her mother. Returned to the ocean, Callie comes of age and comes into a family destiny that holds generations of secrets and very few happy endings.

S.E. Grove
Boston, 1891. 13-year-old Sophia Tims lives with her uncle, cartologist Shadrack Elli, in a world torn to pieces by the Great Disruption of 1799—when all of the continents were mysteriously thrown into different time periods, from the prehistoric era to the fortieth century. Sophia's parents are explorers. She has not seen them in eight years, when they went on a last-minute trip and never returned. When Shadrack is kidnapped from their home, Sophia sets out—along with her new friend, Theo, a refugee from the West—in order to find him. Their journey takes them across the country, over the sea, and through remarkable cities. Along with a group of law-abiding pirates, and a wayward botanist and his daughter, they search for Sophia's uncle, and run for their lives. What they learn—about mapmaking, the changes taking place in the world, and the legends of the land—transforms Sophia forever. This remarkable debut, the first of S.E. Grove's Mapmakers trilogy, is a true original.

Two years ago, fifteen-year-old Jamie Henry breathed a sigh of relief when a judge sentenced his older sister to juvenile detention for burning down their neighbor's fancy horse barn. The whole town did. Because Crazy Cate Henry used to be a nice girl. Until she did a lot of bad things. Like drinking. And stealing. And lying. Like playing weird mind games in the woods with other children. Like making sure she always got her way. Or else.
But today Cate got out. And now she's coming back for Jamie.
Because more than anything, Cate Henry needs her little brother to know this one simple truth: she's not the crazy one and never has been.
He is.

Sixteen-year-old Jansin Nordqvist is on the verge of graduating from the black ops factory known as the Academy. She's smart and deadly, and knows three things with absolute certainty:
1. When the world flooded and civilization retreated deep underground, there was no one left on the surface.
2. The only species to thrive there are the toads, a primate/amphibian hybrid with a serious mean streak.
3. There's no place on Earth where you can hide from the hypercanes, continent-sized storms that have raged for decades.
Jansin has been lied to. On all counts.
Erika Johansen
On her nineteenth birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne. Plain and serious, a girl who loves books and learning, Kelsea bears little resemblance to her mother, the vain and frivolous Queen Elyssa. But though she may be inexperienced and sheltered, Kelsea is not defenseless: Around her neck hangs the Tearling sapphire, a jewel of immense magical power; and accompanying her is the Queen's Guard, a cadre of brave knights led by the enigmatic and dedicated Lazarus. Kelsea will need them all to survive a cabal of enemies who will use every weapon—from crimson-caped assassins to the darkest blood magic—to prevent her from wearing the crown.
Despite her royal blood, Kelsea feels like nothing so much as an insecure girl, a child called upon to lead a people and a kingdom about which she knows almost nothing. But what she discovers in the capital will change everything, confronting her with horrors she never imagined. An act of singular daring will throw Kelsea's kingdom into tumult, unleashing the vengeance of the tyrannical ruler of neighboring Mortmesne: the Red Queen, a sorceress possessed of the darkest magic. Now Kelsea will begin to discover whom among the servants, aristocracy, and her own guard she can trust.
But the quest to save her kingdom and meet her destiny has only just begun—a wondrous journey of self-discovery and a trial by fire that will make her a legend…if she can survive.
The Queen of the Tearling introduces readers to a world as fully imagined and terrifying as that of The Hunger Games, with characters as vivid and intriguing as those of The Game of Thrones, and a wholly original heroine. Combining thrilling action and twisting plot turns, it is a magnificent debut from the talented Erika Johansen.

My second visit to the Desolation Wilderness was in late August for an extremely pleasant loop entirely on trails that hits most of the highlights in the region including great views of Emerald Bay, vistas from Dicks Pass, and gorgeous Lake Aloha. Total mileage according to GPS was just under 26 miles, hence the "Desolation Marathon Loop" name. Complete photo album here.
On the way to the Bayview trailhead I enjoyed a spectacular sunrise over Emerald Bay. The first couple miles out of Bayview are fairly steep but once at the pass between the Maggies Peaks the trail levels off. The trail begins a steady climb before reaching the junction with the Tahoe Rim Trail, and the climb continues all the way up to Dicks Pass. I opted to do the loop clockwise which ascends to the highest point of the loop at Dicks Pass first thing. The descent from Dicks Pass is rocky but I made my way down to Gilmore Lake in good time. I continued along the TRT to Lake Aloha and then split off for Mosquito Pass. This stretch along the shores of Lake Aloha is the most scenic part of the loop, particularly when the trail begins its climb to Mosquito Pass. I stopped at a natural rock balcony below the pass to enjoy the beautiful scenery. From Mosquito Pass, the first couple miles down Rubblefield Canyon are difficult technical trail strewn with rocks making for slow going. The remainder of the trail through Rubblefield Canyon (~ 6 miles) is delightful single track in the meadows and forest. It's obvious this remote portion of the Desolation Wilderness sees a fraction of the foot traffic as the more accessible regions. The junction with the Velma Lakes trail marks the beginning of the last climb on the route. While the climbing is fairly moderate I was tired from the preceding running and the trail is fairly technical so I walked a good chunk of the climb back to the TRT and up to Bayview Trail. On the way back I stopped at the saddle between the Maggies Peaks to gaze at gorgeous Emerald Bay below. The route took just under 5.5 hours with plenty of photography stops.

Park Sessions Copper Mountain Preview
Photography by Darcy Bacha
The first TransWorld Park Sessions of the season just wrapped up at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Not only was Copper's park littered with features, it was doused in a thick layer of pow during the shoot. That kept the park laps and pow laps going at the same time with our transplant crew. The likes of Alex Andrews, Ben Bilodeau, Blaze Kotsenburg, Brandon Hammid, Dylan Thompson, Griffin Siebert, Jonah Owen and Sean Black all rolled into town to tear up the terrain. From close-out rails and re-directs to creeper ledges and a massive butter box–the creative shred builds at Copper stood out, replicating many an urban scene. Follow cam laps, flashes, jibs and jumps were all popping in the park and after the session came to a close, it opened right back up with an aerial assault on the trampolines, foam pit and skatepark of Woodward at Copper. Enough teasing, here's a lil' preview of what went down during the week. Stay tuned for full Park Sessions video coming Fall 2012.

Hello loves,
I know it's been long overdue, but guess what… I've got something big coming up. Not saying yet, but I'll post pics as soon as I've got everything ready – probably later this week… it'll be fun.
In the meantime, here are 3 new guerilla knits that I got out today. The dino was at the Bean Scene and he really looked like he was wanting to join in the fun, so I gave him some tapestry needles and a ball of yarn, you know, just as a joke. I finish my drink and look over and holy fuck the little bastard is knitting. And so very photogenic.
The two trains were fun. Not much to say except that trains are WAY BIGGER the closer you get to them. I always forget that and am surprised each time that happens. Also, I was expecting a bit more in the way of more, shall I say, "traditional" graffiti. Just a few tags, but not much else or I would have included that here as well.
A few upcoming plans that I CAN divulge: I'll be in Kaslo, Nelso, Cresto and maybe Trail and Rossland later in the month. I'm really working on my greater stomping grounds. Also, there may be a trip to Banff in the works. I've heard some interesting rumours…
knitified out.

Former seaman Norman Calder found himself cast adrift on Wednesday night as he became the latest contestant to leave The Great British Bake Off.
The retired Merchant Navy radio operator struggled with his presentation and served raw pastry for one of his dishes, prompting judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood to ask him to leave the tent.
Viewers of the BBC1 show had already seen him looking vulnerable in recent weeks, but he clung on when Iain Watters was eliminated after rashly throwing his melted baked Alaska in the bin in last week's edition.
The programme was mired in controversy last week when it emerged that another contestant, Diana Beard, had taken Iain's ice cream out of the fridge.
Viewers were tonight informed that she has since left the programme as a result of ill health.
During tonight's tarts and pies-themed programme, Norman served up a tarte au citron which was let down by its presentation and a dish of pears in puff pastry, but the casing was uncooked in places.
His showstopper, Norman's Pieffel Tower, had fruit weeping out, the lavender in his meringue was overpowering and the pastry was thought to be too crumbly.
Norman, 66, who had served a number of traditional no-nonsense dishes during the series, said: "I really didn't want to go as I was enjoying it so much, but admittedly I did mess up a wee bit, so I had to go although I enjoyed the whole experience. Everyone is under the same rules and the same pressure."
He went on: "I have been called Storming Norman, and it has been fun to be recognised like that – I didn't even mind the judges saying my bakes were plain and simple.
"I didn't go into Bake Off for the fame, I just wanted to have a bit of excitement in my life. I have been retired for three years, and for me it was a rejuvenating experience and about meeting new people. What I liked most about it was there were 11 people in there who hadn't heard my jokes before."
Scot Norman, from Portknockie, Moray, said he had enjoyed being recognised and stopped in his local supermarket for photographs.
He added: "The best bit of The Great British Bake Off for me was the very first day I walked into the tent. That alone was very exciting. Then I managed to finish the showstopper and Mary tasted my 36 miniature cakes. That was the most memorable part for me – that Mary Berry liked my bakes."

2015 Trend Predictions from Designer Sandra Nash
by Sandra Nash
What are the biggest 2015 Trends you ask?
After attending the High Point Furniture Market, here's what I learned about 2015 trends. The word "Trendiness" does not translate into home fashions the way we think it does. In fact, it is only important to 14% of the population. The deciding factors when decorating a home are PERSONAL TASTE (84%), and COMFORT (75%), regardless of the current fashion/ design trend. That being said, pillows and area rugs are considered trendy.
What I found interesting is the shift in how the average consumer perceives the industry. A whopping 66% of people understand that redecorating is ongoing process (21% plan to do after 2 years, 45% after 5 years). That it's impossible to ever really finish, because they understand it evolves as we do. It's the process and the end result that people find pleasurable.
People are downsizing, and as a result, their large/oversized furniture doesn't fit their new, smaller space. Requirements are for multi-purpose furniture for our multi-tasking world, with lots of storage. Indoor looks are being carrying outside to the newly discovered, all important seasonal rooms that used to be called backyards.
Homes need to be more flexible and functional than ever before. Design has evolved so that all the rooms in a home are used being utilized for at least one purpose, if not for several. Long gone are the living rooms that are never lived in. For example, seating being added to the master bedroom for reading, a sideboard in the dining room that converts to a desk or entertainment unit.
So what does the average consumer find tasteful and comfortable for 2015?
- Acrylic and brass furniture (acrylic great for small space)
- Gold and Copper Accents everywhere
- High drama lighting as focal points
- Diamond shapes in everything
- Minerals/ Rocks
- Turtle shell, and coral motifs
- Multifunctional furniture with storage
- DETAIL was huge. Everything was very detail oriented/ embellished. For example, contrast piping, trims, tufting, and intricate studding…Hardware that resembled accents seen on high-end designer handbags.
I saw 3 distinct color ways and themes throughout market:
This is the next big thing that is already hot in Europe. Mulberry, Bordeaux accented with wheat and gold. These reds will be seen in accent furniture, rugs and accessories.
Still remain strong. Mid-toned ocean hues (lavender reflections of early morning to the jades/teals of the deep oceans). These themes anchored by grey limestone and accented with emerald green or mustard yellow.
Metallic, organic colorways that revolve around natural pigments. Bronze, copper and charcoal accented with fur, feathers and leather.
Sandra Nash has been in the interior design business since 1990. Her company, Making A Scene, is the realization of her passion for design. Her interior design practice specializes in decorating high-end homes for high profile clientele, as well as upscale bars and restaurants.

The formation of a team of experts led to a clear restoration concept. The goals were established in a three stage program and through the collaboration of metal restorers, metal workers, structural engineers and consultants specialized in corrosion and surface stabilization.
To avoid submitting the Gates to the strains of a lengthy transfer which could have brought on fissures in the structure was a joint decision. Therefore the Gates of Hell are restored on site.
The first stage is marked by the installation of a support construction that allows for the sculpture to be moved. At first the Gate needs to be moved away from the wall by a few meters so that, in a second stage, the entirely corroded structural elements like the reinforcements and the connection screws and anchors, which are all located on the back, can be exchanged with devices in a high-alloyed chloride-resistant metal (chromium-nickel steel.) The third stage will be dedicated to the front of the monument. Scientific research is to shed light on the kind of corrosion products and phenomena. The results of the analyses will help determine the choice of the appropriate methods of cleaning by which the formed deposits are to be removed. In the end touch-up measures will even out the look of the Gate. Finally, the application of an appropriate protective finish will allow for the conservation of the surface.

Gundagai is a small town (population 2,000) in the Riverina region of the Australian state of New South Wales. Gundagai is situated on the Murrumbidgee River, some 390 km south-west of Sydney. Gundagai is an ideal stopping point on a driving trip on the Hume between Sydney and Melbourne, having a range of accommodation, good services, and a few points of interest to see before moving on. The township is located close to the freeway, and doesn't required that much of a diversion.
Gold mining made Gundagai both prosperous and a centre for bushranging, giving the town a romantic bush appeal that resulted in it becoming a byword for outback towns in Australia. A large number of outback stories, songs and poems reference Gundagai, including Jack O'Hagan's songs Where the Dog Sits on the Tuckerbox, Along the Road to Gundagai and When a Boy from Alabama Meets a Girl from Gundagai, as well as Banjo Patterson's The Road to Gundagai and the traditional ballad Flash Jack from Gundagai. The town is also mentioned in Henry Lawson's tale Scots of the Riverina and C.J. Dennis' The Traveller.
In 1838, against the advice of the local Aboriginal people, the town was built on flood-prone flats on the northern banks of the Murrumbidgee River. In 1852, severe flooding virtually destroyed the European settlement and 83 of the 250 townsfolk lost their lives. The toll would have been higher but for two Aboriginals who came to the rescue in bark canoes, saving 48 people. The town relocated further up the slopes of Mt Parnassus, and the highest street in the original town, Sheridan Street, is now the main street.
Get in[edit]
By Car[edit]
Gundagai is located on the Hume Highway, the major route between Sydney and Melbourne, around 4 1/2 hours drive south of Sydney.

Home Decor Inspiration: Nautical Design
Summer is the perfect time for nautical home design. From anchors and sailboats to sea shells and driftwood, there are endless ways to take your design in a nautical direction. It's a tasteful, creative look for any room in the house, plus, it is sure to be a favorite among your friends. Everyone can appreciate the natural beauty of the beach and the red, white and blue patterns make your space feel a little more like home. Try it for yourself! Here's some inspiration to get you going on your nautical adventures.
All About Accessories
Nautical home design is all about accessories. Sailboats, oars, buoys, sea shells, sand dollars, you name it! A nautical space is really nothing without its creative and fun accessories. Pick a theme, whether it is the sea or the shore, and just keep swimming with it.
Balance the Color
Left Photo from My Home Ideas
Red, white and blue are all dominant design colors that are often used in nautical design. They must be balanced and used sparingly in order to work with one another in a space. Keep the design blocked and balanced to avoid it becoming too distracting. It may be easier to use one of the three colors as a base and save the other two for accessories. Coral, yellow and teal are all colors that have made their way into nautical designs in the past few years. Experiment with colors, just be careful not to over do it!
Play with Patterns
While the colors within a nautical design may be limited, the patterns are seemingly endless. There are even ways to combine patterns that would usually never go well together in a nautical space. Polka dots and stripes are two of the most popular choices for nautical home design. As long as the colors are blocked and coordinated, mixing and matching patterns makes for a fun and innovative space.
