Rita Simons and her husband Theo have twin daughters, who are five years old. One of them, Maiya, was born moderately deaf and has progressively lost more of her hearing since she was born.
This documentary, which is the latest instalment in the BBC's Beyond Disability season, follows them as they explore the different options open to Maiya – from the possibility of attending a deaf primary school, to learning sign language, to potentially having a cochlear implant.
Rita tells us that Maiya is missing "nerve endings and parts of her cochlear that mean you can't hear," and how her speech is "lazy" with her hearing aids out.
She seems like a typical child though, with a hint of mischief which we see in the bath, when, as Rita says "Mummy" to see whether she can hear and repeat what she's saying, Maiya answers "bum" instead.
The big fear for Rita and Theo is that she will lose more of her hearing. Maiya has been born with a widened vestibular aqueduct, "a deformity in her inner ear which causes hearing loss." They have been told that a bang on the head could cause her to lose her hearing completely, and later, when she does bang her head, we see Rita anxiously trying to check whether Maiya can still hear her.
The first stop on their exploration of the routes Maiya could take is the visit of a sign language teacher. The whole family seem to embrace learning some basic signs – except for Maiya, who seems overawed and walks out. I hoped that wouldn't be her last chance to learn.
Rita then meets a mother of a deaf child, who has embraced the deaf community and sign language for her daughter. She points out just from watching a video on Rita's phone a moment where Maiya hides the fact that she hasn't understood something, and emphasises the importance of deaf role models, something Maiya doesn't have.
When Rita visits a primary school for deaf children, she meets pupils who perform on stage, are lively and engaging, and learn in an environment where they feel equal to their peers. When she sees how many of them wear cochlear implants, she begins to find out more, meeting a boy called Jack who later undergoes a CI operation.
This sends the film on a different course as it investigates cochlear implants. We hear what an implant sounds like and see Jack's implant being turned on. As well as being given the positives, we find out the risks of the operation and who they are and aren't suitable for.
There was a moment that made me cringe when a doctor said that with a cochlear implant, a deaf person who previously wouldn't hear a chainsaw going off next to them, could go on to speak to a stranger on the phone. While I'm sure that's true in some cases, this seemed like an oversimplification of the outlook for many deaf patients that could give a lot of people watching at home the impression that an implant is a 'magic bullet.'
We were then told via voiceover that "cochlear implants are controversial," and how deaf people would see Maiya having the operation as being "a rejection of their culture and language, BSL."
Rita then visited a pub where she met some deaf people, then was told by one of them that giving your child a cochlear implant equates to child abuse. You could almost see her recoil from the deaf community there and then.
This was a disappointing moment for me. It felt extreme and I didn't feel that the deaf people in the pub reflected the range of views within the deaf community, particularly as implants have become more prevalent among deaf children and an increasing number of deaf adults.
At the end of the film, we found out that Rita and Theo have decided that Maiya will have a cochlear implant later on in her childhood, when the level of sound she gets from her hearing aids is reduced.
In my view, the documentary was an interesting and eye-opening look at how some hearing parents of deaf children approach deafness and the routes they can take. I didn't agree with all of Rita and Theo's views, but I could understand how they wanted their daughter to fit in with their own lives and the life she was living at that point, using the hearing she had.
I did feel, however, like there were some major gaps in the film's exploration of the options open to Maiya. I'd have loved to have seen her meet a deaf role model to see how she'd have related to them. It also would have been great for her to have the chance to meet other deaf children (such as those in the primary school) for an extended period of time.
The film focused more on the journey of her parents and along the way, I felt that Maiya missed several opportunities to reach out and connect with the deaf world.

My first ever giveaway: the May issue of Burda
I haven't done a giveaway before, partly because I'm a hoarder and partly because those blogs that used to have interesting content about the writer and their life but now are all just giveaways and sponsored reviews annoy me and I never want my blog to get like that. Oh ok, it's mostly because I am a hoarder and usually can't bear to get rid of anything.....
Since I'm still basking in the happiness that are my newly finished red pants, and the surprise that a pair of pants could just be one of my favourite sewn garments, I'd like you to leave a comment telling me what the best thing is you've sewn. If you've already got the May issue please feel free to leave a comment anyway sharing your fave.
I'll post the issue anywhere, so it's open to all - the more the merrier. Leave me a comment before midnight Sunday 1 July, and I'll do an old fashioned, random pull a name out of a hat draw on Monday.
Thank you all for your lovely comments on the red pants from the last post - as I said above they are fast becoming a favourite garment in my wardrobe. I've worn them a few times, and even bought a pair of leopard print ballet shoes to wear with them! The only problem is that the fabric stretches with wear, so by the end of the day they are about a size too big so I do need to wash after each wear just to shrink them back to normal, which is a bit annoying.
My July issue arrived in today's mail too - those Burda style people are efficient aren't they? So now I must really get on with making the skirts from April and May issue, so I can do the jacket from the June issue so I can make something from the July issue to keep to my self set challenge! SarahP I wish I could say I've finished with the nappy sewing, but I've only replaced the elastic on about half of them, so still have about 10 to go - it's just soooo boring!
66 comments:
I already have this issue and think that it is the best one of the year so far (for me). In all the other 2012 issues there is virtually nothing I want to sew - but May had lots that I want to make. I've made two versions of the simple cowl-neck t-shirt so far and have a third cut out. I hope whoever wins this likes it as much as I do. (Obviously, I'm not entering the giveaway.)
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks for the giveaway. (And I'm glad you don't intend to turn your blog into a giveaway/sponsored review free-for-all!) My favorite thing that I've made was a little red taffeta party dress I made for a Christmas semi-formal party. It's the most complicated thing I've ever made, but it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be in the running to win this issue if you're willing to ship it to the US! :) The best thing I've sewn so far is probably a red sequined circus ringleader jacket - it was made for a friend's Halloween costume. I always tend to sew better when I'm not making the garment for myself!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristy,
I am a long time reader of your blog. You have the cutest kids and your sewing projects are inspiring.
I recently made myself a bag that I can't seem to get enough of, in a red linen thrifted from a second hand dress with black piping.
I know what you mean about blogs and advertising. Off to Paunet's blog to read her review..
firstname.lastname@example.com would love to be included in the giveaway. I've let my subscription lapse, but I can see a few things I'd sew in the May issue. Thank you for being so generous! Oh, and I love your style - it's very similar to mine, and we have very similar body types as well. I recently also sewed a pair of red pants, and then bought leopard ballet flats to wear with them. I love my red pants, but hubby doesn't, and always gives me a 'look' when I wear them, but that's OK. I wear them anyway!
ReplyDeleteIt's probably a toss-up. When I'd only been sewing a few years, and mostly children's clothes, I had a nice party invitation and zero money. I bought a Vogue pattern designed by Galitizine and some inexpensive green brocade fabric. The skirt and shell were fairly straight-forward. The jacket collar stymied me. I remember calling my mother and reading the directions out loud. Once I'd done that the penny dropped. Taught me a valuable lesson and you will still hear me read them out loud occasionally. The outfit turned out well considering my lack of skills!
ReplyDeleteI subscribed briefly, but I let my subscription go because I think that the Burda patterns are bit advanced for me. In any case, please throw my name in the hat if you're shipping over the pond. Some of those patterns are really nice & might be the incentive I need to push my sewing skills beyond my comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteI too had a subcription to Burda that I let go about a year ago. I sometimes miss the little piece of happiness that would show up in my mailbox each month (it was like a gift from a friend that really knows me LOL). I made a simple knit cowl neck top (think it was a McCall's pattern), it's so easy to wear I grab it all the time.
ReplyDeleteI made a beautiful red crepe cotton cocktail baby doll dress with lace bodice from a pattern I borrowed from a friend in about 1990?? I still have the pattern actually. I loved it and I got plenty of complements for it. I tried for weeks to get red lace and couldn't believe I could get it in every colour except one of the primary colours. I got the red crepe cotton from the designer place I still go to for their sell offs and it was a remnant for $2. What made it sweeter was my sister bought a dress nearly identical (mine had a round neck and hers had a v neck) in a gold synthetic that she paid a bomb for (over $200) and when we wore our dresses to a wedding someone commented how beautiful our dresses were and did we buy them at the same place! I'd love a Burda to call my own - thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow, I like the pics of Burda mags for inspiration, there are way too many lines to trace for the actual pattern. I usually recreate my version of the pattern using my Wildginger pattern software. Love to have this edition though. Not sure about best thing I've made, but very close to the top would be my wedding gown! Pics are posted on my August 7, 2009 blog post. www.dressed2atee.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI haven't subscribed to Burda but always pick it up when I find it on a newsstand (which is practically never). I think I did some of my best sewing before I knew very much - I just fearlessly put things together in whatever way I thought would work! Now I have a tendency to get paralyzed by the desire to get it "right" - I'm trying to get past that by just digging into my stash and sewing things quickly. This month, I made a Sorbetto top which I really like, and I sewed a dress for my teenage daughter which she immediately rejected. :-)
ReplyDeleteI commend you for thinking of content over giveaways in your blog. I know what you mean about that in some of the sewing blogs. I read yours and others because of the ideas shared...well and those cute kid photos too, even if I will never meet you in person. In the 70's I made a long, of course, dress that had a pieced yoke. The fabric was kettle cloth and had a border print. I got creative with fussy cutting and used that border print to really add interest to the yoke at the neck. So it is between that dress and a Gunne Sax dress I made for my daughter not too many years later. Would be fun to see the Burda Magazine, have to admit I have never looked at one.
ReplyDeleteI thinkmthat I've done pretty well making dresses for little girls. My nieces keep me busy and I love it because the dresses either fit or they don't because I've made them a little to big - perfect for them to grow into. Totally unlike most things I've made for myself - I think I have a lot more lumps and bumps compared to the patterns I'm trying to make up! ;)
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the giveaway! I occasionally by Burdas from a little deli by my house, but I haven't in a while. I really like the skirt patterns in this May issue though. My favorite thing I ever made is a sheath dress I made a while back. It was the first fitted non-knit garment that fit me!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I've ever sewn was a christening gown I made for my daughter who will be turning seven next month. I should probably make something fancy for myself so I can update my best-thing-sewn resume.
I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now and I'm crazy-impressed at how much sewing you manage to get through with two small children. Brava, Mamma!! And congrats on the new baby!The best thing I ever sewed was a Prom gown for my 17year old daughter. We saw a much-too-expensive dress in a bridal shop and drew a piture of the design lines. I then franken-patterened and self drafted a copy and sewed it up in her favorite color (raspberry-burgundy), much better than the pastel lilac in the shop. The neck line was beaded front and back in a pattern mimicking wysteria blossoms. She looked beautiful and felt comfortable. I made FOUR muslins before the design and fit were right. Worth every minute!
I would love a copy of May's BurdaStyle. Thanks for the offer, regardless of the winner.
I love to lurk and see the pictures of your beautiful family.
Beckycthanks for the giveaway! I would love to try some garment sewing again, all I've been sewing is costumes and quilts. The best thing I've ever sewn is a costume, for the kids from a different class in my daughter's recent dance recital. It was a little lion hood and vest, and I was working with material given to me and no pattern. I cut the hoods on the bias which allowed me to use a woven and still have them be snug. they turned out awesome and did not fall off the kids heads!
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like this Burda Style has at least two items I'd love to sew, the shorter skirt (probably without that weird horizontal seam ...), and the blouse looks pretty awesome, too!
Thanks for offering this as a giveaway - and I share your sentiments, the hoarding as well as the slight bore I feel when seeing the over-use of give aways these days :DWhat a tough question! I've had a few wins this year with Cynthia Rowley's Simplicity 2406 made up using gorgeous Milly fabric. I think the two jackets I've sewn have been very fulfilling personally because they have so many different components to the project. That said, the two dresses I made using Japanese cottons always get me lots of nice comments which is always a lovely feeling.
I completely share your feelings regarding great blogs that turn annoying after they go commercial.- Antonia26 June 2012 at 07:14
Ooh me please! The best thing I ever sewed was at least 20 years ago. It was a sapphire blue woollen winter coat for my 7 year old daughter, made from a now out of print Vogue pattern. It had a deep pleat in the back and a hood. I lined the coat with regular lining but used a soft printed viyella in the hood. My daughter wore it until it couldn't be buttoned up, then passed it onto her cousin. Her Mum passed it onto a very sick little girl who couldn't keep warm even in midsummer and she loved it until the end of her little life. I often look at my gorgeous great nieces and think maybe I should make a new coat for the next generation. But it wouldn't be the same. I've made lots of stuff since, but nothing that has been loved like that garment.
ReplyDelete The best piece of clothing I've done are some pants I made for my second son. I used a bargain tan denim weave from Walmart (back when they had more than just pre-cuts). I can't remember which pattern I used, but I made some major modifications. I used a size to fit my son's hips, and lengthened the rise and pant length. The front had decorative stitching to look like it had a zipper and pockets. I changed the front to be ungathered, added a zipper, and gave it real pockets. 3 of my boys got to wear these pants, and it has held up well except for the stains.
I really want to make something for *me* that I love just as much!
I would love to win the Burda magazine - I have never had a chance to even thumb through one. To have one as my own would be a special treat!The best thing I've sewn was my daughter's year 12 formal dress. She attended a very fancy Sydney school and my daughter stood out in her purple silk chiffon with the intricately hand pleated bodice. Unlike the other girls her dress cost only hundreds of mother loving hours, not hundreds of dollars.
ReplyDeleteHmmm hard to decide, I made a grey white and green stiped dress from a 1950 sundress pattern, I made my own piping to out around the armholes and neckline, fully lined it and did a fancy thing on the lining hem that peeks through, it's a delight to wear fits well and gets lots of comments, however I'm 27 weeks pregnant with a much longed for 3rd child so the dress is on loan to someone who will be able to love it, I figure itlll be a long time before my girth and breastfeeding boobs fit back into it.... Hopefully they will sometime in the next 2 years.
I also made a Chong Sam top with a traditional brocade covered buttons and mandarin collar my only problem was its a little short for my long body. SadI'd love to give Burda a go... I've been getting ottobre kids for a year or so now and I'm starting to think about making something for my self, instead of the kids.
The best-favourite thing I've made so far would be our hats, my kids have such large heads from their Dad that I was able to make my 2 year old a hat with the same pattern that fitted me!It's tricky to pin my favourite down to just one thing - the extremely plain zip fronted black cardigan I'm wearing right now would have to be close second fave based on frequency of wearing. That being said, I made a rather vibrant (possibly lairy) coloured raincoat earlier in the year and it makes me giggle to wear it amongst all the other grey and black coats now that winter has started. Lovely idea to turn the the German efficiency into a generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think my favorite thing ever that I've sewn was a beautiful dupioni silk dress with silk organza bodice overlay and neck halter ties, for my daughter. It is white with a light blue beaded trim at the empire waistline. She looked beautiful in it!
So awesome that you love your pants. They do look nice on you.
Thanks for the chance to win the magazine. I gave up my subscription, but I am somewhat remorseful ...- Adrienne26 June 2012 at 13:45
I feel the nappy pain ... mine have adjustable leg elastics = 30 snaps per nappy. Awful!
My fav thing I have made so far have to be a recently finished pair of high waisted work pants. The fit came out awesome, there will be more in my future. - Anonymous26 June 2012 at 13:57
Well, I've never won anything and I have been wanting to tell you how much I enjoy your blog and am jealous you have a girl to sew for--I have 3 sons. I used to say small, medium, large but they are all large now. I would drool over all the cute girl clothes and pine away at the patterns until it dawned on me I could sew girls clothes! I just "borrowed" an adorable little girl at church whose mom I adored and just went to town. For about 3 years, she was the best dressed little girl in our church. My favorite was a natural color kettle cloth Laura Ashley dress with a sailors collar and tie with navy blue checked trim and piping with matching bloomers and sailor-type cap. A-dor-a-ble! I probably made her about 50 dresses--smocked, french sewn, appliqued, you name it but that was my all time favorite. I'm starting to sew for my grand neices so love the inspiration you provide--thanks a million!
ReplyDelete Oh, I would love the May issue. I JUST subscribed to Burda, so this would be a nice beginning. I think my favorite garment I've made would be a sundress for my daughter that I just finished. I finally got the courage to start altering patterns and did a SBA. It fits her so well, and since RTW never fits her correctly, I am so proud! I've now got the confidence to realize that patterns are a guide, not a Bible. My mother taught me to sew, but she NEVER ever altered a pattern, so this is a new and welcome experience. My sweet mother would make things for me but too many times they didn't fit well at all because of my long-waist.
ReplyDeleteHard to say what the best thing was that I've ever sewn, because each thing brings me to a better stage in my development, one garment at a time. So really, the best thing I've ever sewn is the thing I just finished sewing, at least until I move on to the next one. Now I'm off to read your post about the red pants - I must have missed that one somehow!
ReplyDeleteOwwww, hard to choose which item is my favorite; hmmm, I suppose that the most recent item that I've made for myself is the last mole skin print jumper I made... it's soo soft and comfy and fits so nice that I'm thinking why not make another... I'm sure that I can find a pretty cord to make it out of. Isn't it great how you find something like that that can just tickle you cause you can say... yep I made it! Sure can wow people sometimes... Funny how people just don't think anyone sews any more!
Hurry up and get those nappies done... There is fun sewing waiting for you!I totally agree on not wanting to turn into a giveaway clearinghouse. I also hear you on the hoarding thing. I just picked up more fabric because it was free. Sight unseen. No clue what I'm going to do with it, but you never know! I haven't had a chance to check out the Burda magazine yet, so crossing my fingers, hehe.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous28 June 2012 at 22:40
My latest and the best by far that I've sewn is a Burda dress for my daughter - the collar was perfect. She even said she wants me to sew more - so that means she loves it!
Sharon The best thing I ever made was a Blue Indian style outfit (salwar-kameez which is tunic and pants)when I was still living in India. The color was gorgeous on me and I was practically glowing every time I wore. Unfortunately after a couple of wearings and quick washes and drying it in shade, I once ended up hanging it in the sun and it faded out!! :( I'm still miffed! But I do have a nice picture of that outfit and I feel proud every time I see it.
I'd love to win a copy of Burda 05/12 issue - there's a cute cowl neck top I'd love to sew from that issue. And a couple of gorgeous dresses.
misskayosis AT gmail DOT comBack in 1986 I made a beautiful sundress that had a low cut square back, crisscross straps and a very full gathered skirt. The McCall's pattern is somewhere in my stash.
I remember the sewing was tedious because it was the first project that I underlined. As well, it had lots of small white, heart shaped buttons to hand-sew on the skirt back. I used the softest cotton batiste in a light blue.
It turned out perfectly and I remember feeling so completely confident when I wore it to a BBQ where I met my boyfriend's (at the time!) family.
Winning your extra copy of May Burda would give me some summer reading (and dreaming) at the cottage.....where I cannot sew (no electricity!). Thank you for the lovely giveaway.

I think the best thing I ever sewed was a sky blue pantsuit with loads of top-stitching that turned out just perfect, never mind that it was 30 years ago!

Sleeps | 6 |
Bedrooms | 3 |
Bathrooms | 2 |
Space | 1,900 sq. ft. |
Property type | condo |
Minimum Stay | 7 nights |
The ocean from condo has full views of the ocean and river with unobstructed views. Fully furnished ready for your vacation. The master bath has dual sinks, full shower and whirlpool tub. Open floor plan with large patio off the master and living room. Full length sliders off the living room and master allow for clear views of the water. Underground parking. High speed wireless internet and cable throughout. No smoking.
When we saw the view from the Balcony and fell in love with the condo. At some point when we retire, we hope to spend half the year there. We have a little condo-tel in Daytona and have been coming to the area for more than 15 years.
Dan Mitchell purchased this condo in 2015
There may be a few higher end condos on the beach, but Sanibel was one of the last ones build. It is well constructed and amenities and top notch. Most other high end condos only allow for a month minimum rentals, ours are a week minimum.
The building right at the edge of the no drive beach, so you can choose to go 50 feet south and not be near the traffic and enjoy the Wolds Most Famous Beach or you can bring your car on the beach and enjoy it that way. It's a great spot for children since the no drive beach is right there so you don't have worry about them and traffic.
We had a FANTASTIC time at Unit 901 in the Sanibel Condo! Dan takes great care of his renters. He is very responsive and attentive to his tenants. The condo has everything you could ask for! Fully stocked kitchen with pots and pans, a Keurig, a regular coffee pot, a roomy refrigerator, and so much more! The bathrooms were in immaculate condition and were very spacious (which comes in handy with children). The closets were HUGE and the beds were very comfy. The view from the balcony of the ocean and the pier were priceless! You will not regret renting this unit and you wont be able to find a better owner! The unit is even better than described. Underground parking was a huge plus and the walk to the beach is just seconds away. The pool and hot tub were very refreshing. We cannot say enough good comments about renting from Dan and staying at Sanibel. You wont be disappointed!
The condo is close to many great attractions and places to eat. You can't miss Aunt Catfish by the River. You have to try the salad and hot bar!! Also, Inlet Harbor is great place to eat with live bands right on the river. Historic North Turn has fantastic offerings and you can catch some NASCAR History. One of the best putt-putts in Daytona is less than a mile away, Pirates Island! Challenge your friends to 18 holes of great fun. Crabby Joe's is a fun restaurant out on the pier. It is within walking distance!
We would recommend this condo to families looking to have a great time in Daytona. Sanibel marks the end of where you can drive on the beach. We set our tent and umbrella up only 30 yards from the condo where you can't drive on the beach. We still got to see the Ice Cream truck come through every hour though!
Call Dan and start making memories for your family NOW! You wont regret it!
Unit 901 at Sanibel was exactly as described. Beautiful, spacious condo tastefully decorated and well equipped. Dan was wonderful to work with. We had a minor problem upon check in and a phone call to him was immediately answered and resolved quickly. We will certainly plan to stay here again next trip to beautiful Daytona Beach Shores area. Location was perfect for our family.
Our stay at Dan's home was Amazing! The views...we could witness the sunrise and sunsets from the master bedroom.
We had more than enough room for the 4 (adults) of us.
We were able to cook dinners with the utensils provided. Any shopping we needed to do was close to the condo, and the beach is just a few steps away.
We will definitely look to stay again the next time we visit Daytona.
Thanks Dan!
Chester & Lisa
Room was just as shown. Very comfortable bed's and away from the traffic.
This condo had great views, close to everything, had everything like we were home. We stayed during the Daytona 500 had a wedding to attend and the condo was very quite for the week we were there but still close to all the excitement if needed. Dan was very easy to deal with and responded quickly with any questions we had. We will defiantly stay here next time we travel back to Daytona.
Thank you again Dan you have a beautiful place
The McHale's
My wife and I and our two teenage daughters stayed at the Condo for one week. The condo was very much as described and overall was very comfortable. The bedrooms were very nice and comfortable, the master had a nice king size bed and the two other bedrooms had queen size beds. The kitchen had all of the basics, and we made a number of meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with no issues. There is a Publix market a few miles to the north that is quite convenient. The condo had a few serviceable beach umbrellas and chairs, has good views of both the beach (condo faces north, so not a full beach view) and the river / causeway. We saw some amazing sunsets! The building was pretty nice, and the gym was decent (basic, but has a treadmill, bike and a multi-purpose weight machine). The pool was decent size, but we ended up not using it much. The beach was fantastic (and the weather cooperated nicely), and the water was inviting, and we often saw dolphins and many fish swimming near us.
Dan made the rental process very simple, and we didn't have any problems that required immediate attention during our stay. Overall we had a great time and I expect that we will try to stay there again the next time we visit Daytona Beach.
This condo is on the worlds most Famous beach, Daytona Beach. It is 8 miles from the Daytona Speedway.

Here's something you don't often see in the biography of an elected official: Listings of his birth name and "other names." Aliases. AKAs.
So readers may have been amazed to see, in all the news stories about the arrest of Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez on corruption charges this week, of the revelation that John Noguez is not his real name.
His birth certificate says he was born (in Hollywood) as Juan Renaldo Rodriguez.
Voters might have expected to hear about this during the 2010 campaign for the Assessor's Office, which Noguez won over John Y. Wong with 59.6 percent of the vote. But they didn't.
According to at least one report, Rodriguez/Noguez's attorney tried to explain the change by saying his client simply Americanized Juan to John and adopted his mother's maiden name. Attorney Michael J. Proctor said the assessor's mother's name is Maria Carmen Anaya-Noguez. But his birth certificate calls her Carmen Anaya.
Is Rodriguez/Noguez's name change sinister? Maybe it sounds sketchy only in retrospect, now that L.A. County residents know of his alleged role in a bribery scheme to reduce property taxes for campaign contributors, costing the county $1.16 million in revenue. The assessor is charged with embezzlement, soliciting bribes, misappropriating funds and perjury.
He's not the first politician to change his name. We can think of a few: L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was born Antonio Villar but changed his family name after marrying Corina Raigosa. Former Colorado Sen. Gary Hart shortened his name from Hartpence in his 20s, which became a minor issue in his presidential runs (along with the revelation he was a year older than advertised). President Gerald R. Ford Jr. was born Leslie Lynch King Jr., but took the name of his mother's second husband.
Of course, aliases are more often associated with felons, which Noguez may be proven to be.
This page has endorsed Measure A, an advisory measure on the Nov. 6 ballot that would urge officials to change L.A. County assessor from an elected position to an appointed one. There are two reasons: One, the way it is now invites corruption by allowing candidates to take campaign cash from people who have a direct financial interest in favorable treatment. And two, it's hard for voters to judge qualifications for the job of calculating the value of residential and commercial real estate.
Now there's a third reason: The Noguez-Wong campaign apparently wasn't hard fought enough to reveal Noguez's name change to the public. It might have been trivial, or it might have been a red flag that Noguez wasn't who or what he seemed. But it's the sort of thing that voters normally count on an opposing campaign finding out and advertising.
Noguez is on paid leave and under pressure to resign. It's fairly certain his name, whatever it is, will never appear on a ballot again. More and more, it seems that no county assessor's name should.

Do Dogs Like Cold Shower Water or Warm Shower Water?
by Tom RyanNot all dogs like taking showers, but whether they prefer the spray of the shower head or a pre-filled bathtub, the temperature needs to be comfortable. Water that's too cold or too hot can be uncomfortable or even painful for your pooch, so make sure that both the water and the environment are just right for your dog. When you do, you may find that he doesn't mind being cleaned up as much as he used to.
Warming the Room
No matter what the water temperature is, if the room is cool, it's going to chill your dog—probably to an uncomfortable degree. Before you get the tub or shower ready, make sure that the room is warm and free of drafts. Close the window and any vents that may be blowing cool air, as your dog is going to be susceptible to losing body heat once his skin and fur is wet—even if the water is warm.
Warm, Not Hot
Whether your dog is taking a shower or a bath, the water should be lukewarm, not very hot or cold. Cold shower water is as uncomfortable for a dog as it is for you, and hot water can inadvertently burn his skin. Hot water also increases the risk of drying out your dog's skin too much, causing lasting discomfort and itching. When you wash a dog, you strip off moisturizing natural oils, which is why you shouldn't typically wash him more than once a month or so. Washing him with hot water only exacerbates the problem.
Bathing vs. Showering
All dogs are different, and that includes their varying preferences for showers or baths. While some dogs find it fun to be showered with clean water and will splash around, others become severely anxious when it comes time for grooming. Generally, dogs who are nervous about grooming prefer the relatively quiet, subdued bath to the comparably loud, high-energy shower. If you're trying to introduce showering to your dog, start small, such as by using an extendable showerhead to rinse him when you give him a bath.
Hose Cleaning
Because dogs should be bathed or showered with warm water in a warm environment, giving your dog an outdoor shower from a garden hose generally isn't preferable. This type of water typically comes out unheated, and even on a warm day, the frigid water can be uncomfortable for your dog. If it's a breezy day, the combination of cold water and the wind can make your dog not just uncomfortable, but potentially dangerously cold, so resist the urge to simply take him out back and hose him down.

Swimsuit season is finally here—a time of both excitement and dread. Not because we have to show off our bikini body, but because we are now burdened with the task of trying to find a plus-sized swimsuit that doesn't look like a tent, a muumuu or one of those tummy-trimming, "miracle suits" 60-year-old moms wear. And for the size 14 and up women out there, those giant cover-ups just won't do. What's wrong with showing a little skin—accenting those legs or displaying that fabulous Kardashian backside? But to find truly beautiful, plus-sized luxury swimwear, we had to do a bit of digging. Was it on-trend? Colorful? Flattering? To get you through summer looking fierce, we searched for the sexiest bathing suits from sizes 14-26—without all the monochromatic black or built-in shorts.
Plus-sized swimwear conjures up images of bulky, black one-pieces with a built in shaper, ruffles and a little skirt meant to hide the wearer in an unflattering bulk of dark material. Thankfully, one-pieces are coming back into fashion, which means no matter your size, anyone can stylishly rock a black colorful look without seeming like they're trying to hide. Trendy detailing and shapes gives these suits enough attitude without having to resort to the two-piece bikinis. But if body-baring bikinis are for you, don't worry, we have a whole slew of those ahead.
Monif C. Columbia Crisscross Strap Plus Size Swimsuit is available in sizes 14W-24W. Avaialble at Monif C. and priced at $175.
The Namibia One-Piece is available in sizes 10-24. Available at Josephine Swim and priced at $170.
Gottex Leopard-Print Bandeau Swimsuit is available in sizes 16W to 22W. Available at Neiman Marcus and priced at $208.
Monif C. Cabo Monokini Plus Size Swimsuit is available in sizes 18W-22W. Available at Monif C. and priced at $158.
Modcloth Bathing Beauty One-Piece Swimsuit in Royal Velvet is available in sizes 16-26. Available at Modcloth and priced at $90.
Fables by Barrie Sammie Swimsuit is available in sizes XS-2XL. Available at Fables by Barrie and priced at $124.
Some of us, myself included, may not have the body for bouncing around in that itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny bikini everybody's always singing about, but that doesn't mean we want to hide our curves under an oversized t-shirt. While some plus-sized women would refuse to be caught dead in a two-piece, the return of retro styling has given way to new, flattering cuts that hug in all the right places and actually hold the girls in—making them not only acceptable, but chic and functional.
Robyn Lawley Cosmic Libra Adjustable Bikini is available in sizes 8-18. Available at Madison Plus Select and priced at $189.
Curvy Kate Birds Of Paradise Halterkini Top is available from sizes D-GG; the Birds Of Paradise Swim Skirt is available in sizes 8-20. Available at Figleaves and priced at $52 and $74 respectively.
Becca Etc. See It Through Bikini Top & Skirted Bottoms are available in sizes 14-22. Available at Nordstrom and priced at $84-$88 respectively.
Brigitte Swim Bottom and Bikini Top Snake Charmer are available in sizes 6-24. Available at Sorella Swim and priced at $60 and $80 respectively.
Jessica Simpson Rose Colored Glasses Plus Size Bikini is available in sizes 14-22. Available at Swimsuits For All and priced at $120.

Deets on the Man Fur? RTW or Bespoke?
Can I post what I wore last Friday?
And my odd accessory
Matching trousers to hood is next level.
HF you are fine. You stated beforehand your situation so you are ok.
Ta! It's always fun to be able to play.
Monkey is my fave too, as I mentioned upthread, but I do think Spoo's recent entry is a fairly close second. Plus, I don't know if they meant to play or not, but I also like TTO & Angelicboris' fits in the main thread today and would put them both up there or thereabouts too.
It would be great to get a rerun of this contest theme in the height of summer, when more tropical colours can come out to play, too.
Damn, just what I was afraid of, Spoo entered the challenge. I cannot compete against that much chest hair Seriously like the shirt and belt though! And the pants are impeccable, as always.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
Jamaican roots reggae artist Prezident Brown returns with the release of his new album, 'I Sound Is From Creation', available on November 13 on CD and digital download.
Born Fitz Cotterell in Clarendon, Jamaica, Prezident Brown embarked on his musical journey in the 1980's, and has over the years transcended international borders to bring his brand of socially-conscious messages, packaged through sweet reggae music, to a global audience.
On his ninth full-length release he continues his mission to educate and entertain through its 14 tracks laced over mostly one drop reggae riddims.
"I came up with the album name I Sound Is From Creation because some of the songs were made from chanting the melody and lyrics. The musicians created music for the chant and together we made a record," reveals Prezident Brown in a press release.
The album is recorded and produced together with Axx Of Jahpostles, and according to Prezident Brown the collaboration created a fruitful and comfortable working situation.
"It is always a pleasure to work with Devon Bradshaw and Ian Coleman. We work very well as a team and they are involved in a lot of my projects that are already out," continues Prezident Brown.
On the first single, Be Careful (Rags To Riches), Prezident Brown implores listeners to not get attached to material things or lose themselves, as they rise from "rags" to "riches." The second single, Teach The Youths Dem (Meditation), address the destruction of the culture and encourages youths to be strong in the face of adversity.
"Overall I have grand feeling about the album as the collection of tunes represents me well," discloses Prezident Brown, and continues:
"I believe real progress is gradual and not overnight, so one should practice and maintain one's position. This project took two years, on and off, to conceive and come together."
The album will be released and distributed via Tad's Record, and the company's President has high hopes on 'I Sounds Is From Creation'.
"Prezident Brown is one of those silent but deadly gems of reggae music," states Tad Dawkins, President of Tad's Record, in a press release, and continues:
"His songs are both entertaining as well as powerful in message. There was no contemplating when the opportunity arose for Tad's Record to put out an album for Prezident Brown and Axx Of Jahpostles. Tad's Record deals with quality music and I Sound is from Creation is a solid and high quality album."

You may have noticed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has received lots of heated criticism over its enforcement of alleged market manipulation and fraudulent behaviors. You may also have noticed FERC has not responded to the criticism. That's because the Department of Justice (DOJ) frowns on that. Market manipulation cases are high profile and can involve criminal proceedings. DOJ does not want enforcement agencies to fan those fires. So it was with an interest heightened by lack of information that I devoured a just-published article adapted from a speech given last October by Commissioner Tony Clark on FERC's enforcement policy. It's called "Ensuring Reliability and a Fair Energy Marketplace," and I commend it to you. It's a great read at 25:2 Colo. Nat. Resources, Energy & Envtl. L. Rev. 2014. In it, Commissioner Clark explains how FERC administers principles-based enforcement. In response to the argument that FERC should specify by rule all specific misconduct in which a market participant could conceivably engage, he observes that such an approach is not only unrealistic but also leads to unacceptable gaming. He cites former imprisoned Enron exec, Andrew Fastow, who confessed that he "used the rules to break the rules." Fastow explains that the more complex the rules are, the more opportunity they present to subvert them. A reformed Fastow now preaches that one should ask "not what is the rule, but what is the principle?" Clark concedes that FERC must provide clear guidance as to the nature of prohibited conduct, but he also exhorts market participants to "use judgment."

We're excited to introduce you to one of our hometown ambassadors, Krupa Andrews. A first-time mama, she's super enthusiastic to learn all she can and embraces the opportunity to introduce her daughter to all that Chicago has to offer. [caption id="attachment_789" align="aligncenter" width="300"] peek-a-boo from the pikkolo at the Art Institute[/caption] We were fortunate to meet-up with Krupa at MommyCon Chicago and are amazed by her love for babywearing. Krupa was born and raised in India, living in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai, before coming to the United States to attend college. She studied linguistics and TESOL (teaching English as a second language). Krupa says the best thing about being a mom "is the proud look in my daughter's eyes when she accomplishes something." Share in Krupa's adventures by following us on Facebook and Instragram (@catbirdbaby). #catbirdbaby #cbbambassadors #babywearing #cbbloveAuthor

her name was familiar to me and i thought she might be an artist beside a writer, so i looked her up. and i really liked her work. in the process of communicating i asked if she would want to trade studio visits and she did ! [although she can't come to mine until post kitchen fiasco].
it is the perfect example of how you can manage to make work in all kinds of spaces.
here's her statement on that work [and i also remember those mutual of omaha shows/ads SO well]
"The Company You Keep" references Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, the archetypal nature show I watched every Sunday evening as a kid in which Marlin Perkins sends Jim Fowler to study animal behavior in particularly dramatic made-for-TV ways. The show first struck me as an odd advertising mechanism for insurance. I found many of their slogans simplistic and hilarious, especially in light of the state of the US healthcare system. By viewing this show as a time capsule reflecting the mentality of the era in which it was created, the drawings have evolved to examine: the application of science to investigate mysteries of the natural world, the use of language to elevate the importance of a project, having the best intentions but being unable to foresee unintended consequences, and above all, Man's classic literary struggle with Nature.
i was particularly drawn to the shifts in scale she made... small and large figures. how she removed them from a scene and simply presented the character to you. in a void more or less. the negative space is so lovely [yes yes i'm a broken record about negative space]. it's almost a guessing game sometimes as to who is who [if i was a better fan of the show i recognized them faster].
the other thing that was fascinating was how emotionally connected they felt. to her... to me... i've seen other artists who work with film/tv stills and often times there is a removal - a coldness - that's inherent in the work. sometimes this works to the artist's advantage, but more often than not it leaves me wanting more.
with kelly's work i definitely felt sucked in. it didn't matter if i knew who the characters were - there was such grace and also tension in the way that they were rendered that i easily begin to see them as nostalgic members of my own family. which in way they ARE - because whether or not you watched the shows they have somehow seeped into our collective pop culture conscious.
we also had a great time swapping kid stories. she has a daughter almost the same age as mine. the mother artist tribe is a subset community... i feel like when we find like minds in this smaller set of makers we have to hold on for dear life.

NEW YORK, Thursday—That was a curious move on the part of Soviet Foreign Minister, Andrei Y. Vishinsky, to call a press conference to tell the American press how he felt about a family quarrel. After all, it is a difficulty between the U.S.S.R. and the Yugoslavs that has caused the inability of the Russians to accept Yugoslavia's candidacy for the Security Council. A short time ago they would have welcomed any one of their satellites.
Today Yugoslavia is still a Communist country. All she is trying to explain to the Soviet Union is that while she agrees with communism and votes on practically every subject from the communistic point of view, she still feels she must have the liberty to carry out certain programs at her own pace and in her own way.
It is a good deal to expect, even in a satellite country, that they accept dictation from a central government on every minor item. Even in a federation of countries, those countries must occasionally express some individuality, just as in a federation of states, such as the United States, we find that occasionally there is a divergence of opinion.
Last autumn right here at home a whole group of states decided they felt differently from the rest on one specific subject, and their difference creates certain problems for the country. The Soviet Union is having a somewhat similar problem with Yugoslavia. It doesn't seem to me anything to get much excited about. Just one of those things that must be worked out over a period of time through cooperation and understanding.
If you are driving a pair of spirited horses, you learn to give them their heads now and then and not always try to restrain them. You don't want to break their spirit; you want them to cooperate with you. That's a lesson perhaps that the central government of any group of independent states has to learn.
The effort Mr. Vishinsky made to make it appear that anyone who voted for Yugoslavia instead of Czechoslovakia for a seat on the Security Council was committing an unforgivable sin against the Soviet Union seems to me ludicrous.
The Yugoslavs decided to be candidates. Czechoslovakia was put forward by the Russians. The other countries have a right to vote for whichever candidate they choose without its being considered something that shows antagonism to the government of the Soviet Union.
It is a pleasant thing to find that Russia, which so frequently attacks our United States press, can still use it on occasion and trust it sufficiently to call the reporters together and make a statement and count on it being reported correctly. I am sure the press will be glad of Mr. Vishinsky's words of praise toward the end of his interview.
I cannot say that I have noticed that the announcement that the Soviet government was able to make atomic bombs has created any great change in the tone of the articles written in our press. Mr. Vishinsky says: "I discern more objectivity and sobriety in the press; the war psychosis has waned."
Perhaps, sir, this is the time to state again that the United States has never thought to use the bomb as a threat of war. It has always hoped that it would be an inducement to peace.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Male corpse washed ashore on Point Pedro coast[TamilNet, Tuesday, 04 November 2008, 19:58 GMT]Point Pedro police recovered a male corpse in highly decomposed state Tuesday at Pont Pedro Munai coast on information given by Sri Lanka Army (SLA) sentries on the coast. A metal identification plate found attached to the body indicated that it belonged to a Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) combatant, the police said. It may be one of the Sea Tigers killed in the Saturday clash with Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) on the seas off Naakarkoayil, they further said. The inscription on the metal plate had (Tamil letters) Tha. Vi. Pu. Oa 2922 inscribed on it, the police said. Point Pedro District Court Additional Magistrate, A. G. Alex Rajah conducted the inquest into the death at the site and directed the police to hand over the body to Manthikai Hospital mortuary for identification. The magistrate further instructed the police to have the body buried at government expense if it remains unclaimed in the next five days. Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports say that four bodies of SLN troops killed in the Saturday clash had been washed ashore on the coasts of LTTE held territory. Chronology: |

Who doesn't love a good glass of wine? A lot of individuals like to pour themselves a glass of wine after a hard day at work. It helps them to unwind and relax. There are then those who save this treat for when they are enjoying a scrumptious meal at a fancy restaurant. No matter what category you fall into, there is nothing wrong with a glass of wine now and again. In fact, there are actually health benefits associated with wine. That's right, this treat can be a good help rather than a hindrance (when consumed in moderation of course). So, let's look at these benefits in further detail and discover where the best regions are for the most popular wines…
What are the health benefits of drinking wine?
· Wine may reduce the risk of a heart attack – Hype-resveratrol is an antioxidant found in wine and it is extremely beneficial. It can reduce bad LDL cholesterol and protect your heart's blood vessels as well.
· Wine gives you a testosterone boost – Aside from lowering the risk of a heart attack, wine can also boost your levels of testosterone. You will find that you have a lot more energy and you will recovery from injuries quicker as well.
· Wine can prevent dementia – We have resveratrol to thank for this benefit as well. Memory loss is caused when amyloid proteins form sticky balls that build up on the brain and consequently kill brain cells. However, resveratrol is believed to distort the protein's shape so that it doesn't latch onto the brain. So, next time you fancy a glass of wine whilst in one of the Hong Kong best restaurants in Central and your partner is nagging you, joke that you are having one so you don't forget who they are a few years down the line!!
· Wine may reduce the risk of a stroke – A study was conducted involving eighty thousand women. All women were between the age of 30 and 55 years old. The study concluded that those who were light drinkers were less likely to have a stroke by twenty per cent.
· Wine can lower the risk of depression – Another study of 5,500 people who drink wine on a light to moderate basis showed that they had a lesser chance of suffering from depression.
When you take all of this into account it is not hard to see why you should order a glass of wine when visiting one of the restaurants Hong Kong situated. But, before you dash off for a sip of the delicious drink, let's take a look at the top wine regions in the world…
1) France – France tops the list of wine production in the world, with Merlot being one of the most popular.
2) Italy – Italy has just been piped to the top spot, with Trebbiano coming from the European location.
3) Spain – Despite being home to the biggest vineyard acreage on a global scale, Spain only comes in third.
4) United States – We have finally moved out of Europe, with California being responsible for 90 per cent of the wine that comes from the US.
5) Argentina – Finally, Argentina takes the fifth spot. Wine production is growing in the country by the year.

Anybody who has matured beyond adolescence recognizes that along with rights comes responsibility in the exercise of those rights. I am full support of the rights to own firearms. With that I believe that we need to be responsible in the use of firearms And the rhetoric we use in preserving those rights. By posting Manning's remarks by this pro-gun people is not helpful to defending our rights to keep our guns. It goes along way in confirming the viewpoints of gun abolitionists that those of us that own firearms are crazed nuts.
We are a country of laws. We have told that to our kids. A call to armed rebellion and rioting is a call to violate that system by violence. In short, it is treason.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
Treason is what we have in the White House and Congress over the last 30 years as they have failed to protect The Constitution, citizens of USA and the destruction of our economy through reckless spending. Congress has put themselves above the people, has been controlled by special interest and the big investment bankers!
When the people fear the government, we have tyranny.
When the government fears the people, we have liberty.
One of the reasons for the 2nd Amendment is for the people to defend themselves against a treasonist government.

""President Trump was a chaos candidate and apparently intends to be a chaos president. Stability, it would seem, is out the window. The White House will lie without hesitation when it serves its perceived interest." The American Conservative
I'm pretty sure Washington and them planned their act of treason behind closed doors and did not post it on the internet.
Only in the world of your personal Constitution. By the way, your TJ quote in your signature was actually said by Gerald Ford in 1974. Jefferson said something mildly similar when he wrote, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yeild, and government to gain ground." (5/27/1788, Letter to Edward Carrington). You other quotes were also never said by Jefferson according to The Jefferson Encyclopedia. The first quote appears to date back to 1914 when it was regularly attributed to Paine and Adams (also untrue). It began to be attributed to Jefferson in 1994. Once again, the principle is upheld: if history is not on your side, rewrite it. Maybe Texas will start including similar quotes in textbooks.

Quote: might add that unless you plan on conditioning your legs like Thai boxers do
Quote:taison ur kidding urself if u think thai boxers to not focus on punching look at ramon dekker and how fast paced he is, i dont know where you have been training but here in the uk our champs are as good as the dutch and thais.
Quote: the only fighters that lack hands is the thais, imo
Quote:the only fighters that lack hands is the thais, imo
Quote:Taison is a real Thai boxer who lives in Thailand, so how about showing some respect? I think he knows what hes talking about.
Quote: I think we have all been to thailand im not disrespecting him im just point out that maybe he is being a little outdated in his info.
Quote: Maybe this is because he lives in thailand
Quote: alot westerners focus largly on boxing skill, some dont- most do. Fact sorry
Quote: if taison doesnt belive in his art anymore then maybe he isnt a 'thai boxer' anymore.
Quote: Most westerners have background in boxing before MT. This is normal because boxing has been in the west for a long time. It's natural people will be more acustomed to boxing than MT. Another fact is that most Thai boxers start at a very young age, thus become more proficient at kicking, whereas western MT boxers start at a later age
Quote:most modern day MT boxer would rather be able to kick hard enough to break bones (idiots).
Quote: can a thai boxer not hit as hard as a pro boxer? like you say its down to the practitioner, your the one discrediting the thais with your punching theorys not me.
Quote: over here in the uk
Quote: thats a generalisation
Quote: In my opinion and this is only mine, thai boxers are more likley to get proper boxing training.

T-Regulatory Lymphocytes In Gastrointestinal Cancer
T-regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs) are a subset of T lymphocytes that are involved in the mechanism of immunotolerance to self- and allo-antigens. Activity of these cells is one of the mechanisms of immune evasion of tumors, which inhibits the antitumor activity of effector cells. Tregs are among the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and circulate in the peripheral blood. In various cancer types, increased prevalence of Tregs has been observed, and in some studies, this has been reported as a prognostic factor.
A research article published on January 21, 2011 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. The authors studied the peripheral blood Tregs as a potential disease marker, which was relatively easy to measure during pretreatment and follow-up periods.
The results indicated that the absolute number of Tregs in peripheral blood of gastric cancer but not colorectal cancer patients was significantly decreased in comparison with that in healthy controls. The findings suggest that the population of Tregs in peripheral blood does not simply mimic stromal Tregs. Further studies on larger groups of patients are necessary to evaluate the Treg population in cancer patients.---

New York Knicks at Phoenix Suns NBA Betting Preview Date: 12/26/2012 at 9:00 p.m. (ET) Opening Lines: New York -3½, O/U 199 (click for latest NBA odds) Television: NBATV
New York Knicks: New York (20-8 straight-up, 15-13 against the spread) only trails Miami in the Eastern Conference but has shown some chinks in the armor lately at 2-3 SU in its last five. The team is also just 1-5 ATS in its last six. The latest setback was 100-94 as 4-point 'dogs at the Lakers on Christmas Day despite getting 34 points from Carmelo Anthony. The Knicks have seen their scoring decrease over the last five games at 98 points per game with the "under" going 4-1. They are ranked sixth in the NBA for the season at 102.3 ppg. Point guard Raymond Felton has shot just 36.4 percent from the field (32-of-88) the last five games and is listed as questionable on the NBA injury report with an ongoing finger issue. Anthony has also been dealing with his own knee injury and has been downgraded to expected to miss this game.
Phoenix Suns: The Suns (11-17 SU, 11-16-1 ATS) have lost two in a row (1-1 ATS) after winning their previous four (4-0 ATS). The latest was a 103-77 blowout home loss to the Clippers on Sunday. That went well "under" the 195½-point total, and the "under" is 6-1 in the team's last seven games. The Suns could be without Michael Beasley (10.5 ppg), who is questionable with an illness. However, this is a balanced offensive attack that ranks 12th in the NBA (97.3 ppg) with five other players all averaging double digits. New York and Phoenix met in the Big Apple back on Dec. 2 with Anthony scoring 34 for the Knicks in a 106-99 victory. The Suns did cover the spread as large 11½-point underdogs, and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between the teams.

Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question.
It's one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the—gasp—wrong guy. Straight-A junior Julia may be accident prone, but she's queen of following rules and being prepared. That's why she keeps a pencil sharpener in her purse and a pocket Shakespeare in her, well, pocket. And that's also why she's chosen Mark Bixford, her childhood crush, as her MTB ("meant to be").
But this spring break, Julia's rules are about to get defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she's partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number! Jason promises to help discover the identity of her mysterious new suitor if she agrees to break a few rules along the way. And thus begins a wild goose chase through London, leading Julia closer and closer to the biggest surprise of all: true love.
Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most meant to be.

I JUST came across this one and I seriously need it in my life. Contemporary reads always seem to fall a little short of my high expectations (thanks, Anna and the French Kiss!), but this sounds so cute. Hopefully it is! :D
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a really cute and fun read. Everyone needs one of those every now and then. I also like her little hunt for her secret admirer.
My WOWLol, I've just see the exact same book on Fictional Distraction! ^_^ It does sound awesome and I added to my wish list right away ;)
Nickey @ The Book Shop Assistant

ReplyDeleteSounds so cute! I had not heard of this one but I think it is a TBR candidate for sure. I love this tag line especially "Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most meant to be."
Here is My WowThis one really does sound like such a cute read! The "opposites attract" kind of romance can be so much fun (especially when coupled with a wild goose chase through London!)
ReplyDeleteGreat pick!!!' I love the cover. Love the synopsis! This is going on my TBR as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing!
