May 16-- SAN DIEGO-A mother emerged from the tunnel leading out to the field at Petco Park and searched for her boy. At 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds, Franmil Reyes is one of the most imposing figures to ever pull a Padres jersey over his broad shoulders, but his easy smile stretched even further across his bearded face as he spotted his mother.
On a big league field together for the first time, a mother and son embraced for several moments.
They shed tears.
They remembered just how far they'd come together, where they still hope to go.
"For me, that was an absolute joy," Reyes' mother, Dominga Uribe, said through an interpreter after an emotional reunion. "Unfortunately, his dad passed when he was 5. I had to play both mother and father to him and his brother. I always instilled good values in them to make sure they worked hard.
"For him to be here now, it's pretty special."
Reyes' work is hardly finished.
His pro baseball-best 14 homers carried him out of the Pacific Coast League and onto a major-league roster for the first time in his career. With Wil Myers and Hunter Renfroe still making their way back from injuries, the time is ripe for an extended look at a 22-year-old outfielder who led the system in home runs and RBIs last year in Double A and was well on his way to doing so again this year in Triple A after a much-needed pep talk this winter.
He'd broken his hamate bone in the Arizona Fall League. The Padres had left him off the 40-man roster, exposing him to the Rule 5 draft. His hopes had sunk.
So Reyes phoned his mother.
"I told him to maintain his focus and keep working hard," Uribe recalled. "He's a battler. He's a warrior, just like I am."
Franmil Reyes was 16 years old Nov. 1, 2011, when he joined the Padres system, his $700,000 bonus ranking among the top checks deposited during the 2011 international signing period. Another 16-year-old Dominican, Franchy Cordero, also arrived via a $175,000 deal reached that day.
The workouts leading up to that momentous signing ceremony-Reyes on the top field and Cordero down below-still stand out in former farm director Randy Smith's mind.
"That's two special kids, both physically and mentally," Smith, now a senior adviser to the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, said by phone from Japan. "Franmil with his size and power was at or near the top of the chart and Cordero's speed, power and athleticism were on par with anybody's. But what stands out about both those guys is what good kids they are and how hard they worked to get there."
Well that-and their power potential.
Cordero's 489-foot homer in Arizona last month still stands as the longest home run in the majors this season. His long-time friend-they roomed together during their Dominican tryout and at Fort Wayne, Lake Elsinore and earlier this year at El Paso during Cordero's rehab assignment-logged the fifth-highest average exit velocity among all minor leaguers, according to Baseball America, after he blasted eight home runs during a mind-boggling five-game power surge this month with El Paso.
Once, Cordero marveled at "all the bombs" Reyes hit as a teenager. On Monday, he hugged Reyes as he joined him in San Diego for the first time.
"It wasn't surprising," Cordero said through an interpreter. "Even coming from the Dominican Republic this year, it was something he said was a goal to be part of the team this year. That's all the credit to having ... worked to get here."
As with all tall players with long levers, Reyes' work in the minors included shortening the loop in his swing. He refined an approach that pushed his walk rate to a career-best 13.6 percent. He shed weight to move about easier in right field, where he teamed with Cordero in left and Manuel Margot in center on Monday as the first all-Dominican outfield in Padres history as his mom watched from the stands.
A day later, Dominga Uribe-who flew from New York in time for Reyes' debut-jumped up and down alongside her nephew as her boy rounded first base with his first major-league hit, a line-drive single to center field in the sixth inning of a 4-0 Padres win.
A boy she raised on her own alongside his brother Franklin, a 19-year-old first baseman in the White Sox system, after their father died in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. A boy who sold avocados in the streets to help her put food on the table. A boy who'd wake at 5 a.m. to hit before school. A boy who'd grown into a young man, already a father of three young daughters.
Still her boy.
And that baseball, Reyes said with a smile Tuesday afternoon, would be hers.
"I've been through a lot with my mom," Reyes said "It's really special to make her proud of me."

The opening of a new Tesco supermarket in Penwortham is about to move a step closer.
Bosses at the retail giant have confirmed they are looking to enter new plans for the former Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) site in Cop Lane "before the end of the year", and will be conducting a public consulation beforehand.
As part of this, Tesco representatives are due to make an appearance at the next Penwortham Town Council at Penwortham Community Centre in Kingsfold Drove on October 6.
They have told council officers they intend to take part in a question and answer session with the public.
Tesco spokesman Mark Thomas said: "We'd love to bring a new store to the former DWP site on Cop Lane.
"It would provide a great service to the community and bring the site back into use.
"Ahead of any planning application, our priority will be to talk to the Penwortham community about our plans through a period of public consultation and we hope to do this later in the year."
The 4.9 acre site has been vacant since 2009, when it was identified for closure and vacated by the DWP as part of efficiency measures.
It was sold by London-based Telereal Trillium to Tesco in 2013.
In May 2012 plans were passed for Sainsbury's to build a 35,000 sq ft food store on the site, despite objections from more than 700 people.
Concerns included traffic volumes and congestion around Cop Lane's already busy junction with Liverpool Road, and the impact of a new superstore on small, local shops in Penwortham.
Later Sainsbury's dropped the plans, citing financial reasons.
The 2012 plans have now expired, though Tesco insists it would be putting in new proposals as a matter of course, but hinted the size of the store was likely to be similar.

The UC Davis Humanities Institute is preparing for another exciting year of its Mellon Public
Scholars program with the call for new public scholars coming out in the next couple of weeks.
A Mellon Public Scholar is a doctoral or MFA candidate currently enrolled in an arts, humanities
or social sciences program at UC Davis. A new cohort of ten scholars will be selected in January
2018 to participate in a spring seminar introducing them to the theory, methods and skills
associated with public scholarship. Scholars, working closely with faculty mentors and the
seminar instructor (next spring Susette Min, Associate Professor of Asian American Studies),
develop a community-engaged project that allows them to expand their scholarly training and
take that into the field in summer 2018 where they will see out that project with a community
To learn more about the program and talk to the 2017 scholars about their experiences, please
join us for an information session. These will be held in the DHI Conference Room (Voorhies
128) on Wednesday, November 15th , 5:10-6:00pm and Tuesday, November 21st , 12:10-1:00pm.
For a complete list of the 2017 Mellon Public Scholars, their projects and faculty mentors, please
visit http://publicscholars.ucdavis.edu/
Last summer's projects focused on questions of representation and social justice. Brittani Orona
(Native American Studies) and Genesis Laura (History) worked with neighborhood
organizations in Oak Park, Sacramento, and Miami, Florida, respectively to record the
experience of gentrification. Mayra Sanchez (Human Ecology) and Roy Taggueg (Sociology)
created platforms with local communities to tell stories of environmental injustice, illness, and
access to healthcare. Crystal Richardson (Linguistics) developed a culturally responsive
curriculum with other Karuk indigenous language master speakers, and David Tenorio (Spanish
and Portuguese) worked with a Cuban trans health organization to record and digitize some of
their experiences in post-Soviet Cuba.
Many scholars reported an improved sense of focus and purpose in their dissertation work and
several will extend their collaboration with their community partner beyond their summer
project. Jennifer Sedel, a 2016 scholar from the Geology Grad Group, found in the program, "an
intellectual and professional opportunity to weave together my commitments to vital
communities, sound historical research, and work that not only crosses publics but
is generated across publics." Early last month, a panel of scholars from past cohorts gathered in
the Cultural Studies Colloquium series to share what they had learned in the program and carry
forward a conversation around the risks and rewards of community-engaged scholarship.
For 2017 cohort, the program partnered with four local organizations on pre-established
community projects that our scholars could adapt to their own interests while building new skills
outside their doctoral training. English Ph.D. candidate Jennifer Tinonga-Valle drew on her
doctoral training in marginalized literatures to define and map humanities organizations across
the state with California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the
Humanities. As a performer, arts administrator, and scholar of performance studies, Deepa
Mahadevan worked with the California Arts Council to review two of their public arts grants.
Alana Haynes-Stein (Sociology), is developing a paper with her faculty mentor on her work
addressing the gaps in Yolo County's emergency food system with Yolo Food Bank. Jeanelle
Hope mobilized her teaching, organizing, and theoretical expertise to ground the California
Department of Education's work developing the first-in- the-nation ethnic studies curriculum for
high school.
Scholars also joined our program from UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, and UC Santa
Cruz. Their respective humanities centers supported their work consulting on an exhibit with the
Laguna Art Museum, cultivating engagement in ancient history with #NewPalmyra, and
developing an interactive map of an artist colony founded by Bauhaus-trained WWII refugees.
In 2018, we're pleased to be working again with the California Arts Council, California
Humanities, and the California Department of Education. We are also excited to partner with the
Center for Sacramento History and California Food Policy Advocates. In addition to the five
2018 Mellon Public Scholars working with these organizations, five scholars will design their
own projects.
This year, the call for proposals will be released the second week of November, in advance of the
information sessions. Applications are due in early January 2018.
– Rachel Reeves is the Mellon Public Scholars Program Manager and a recent Ph.D. from the
UC Davis History Department

Mom and I went to a large antique mall this past weekend down around the southern boarder of the state. It was our annual trek down there for a "girl's day". It was loads of fun...and relaxing too. I found some pretty button cards.
The card itself is pretty on this one not to mention the buttons. I'm pretty sure the buttons are glass, but sometimes it is so hard to tell.
This little girl one is sweet along with the simple pink buttons.
This one is gorgeous. Don't you just love that wedding dress??
Also, I completed another felt pin. This is a depiction of a vintage Mason or Ball jar with fireflies in it. Can you tell summer was on my mind while making this? The ends and flight paths of the fireflies are in glow in the dark thread for extra fun. I'll be listing this in my Etsy shop soon.

Closer to home, tomorrow a coalition representing PSE, TEA, Board, students, parents, and administrators will meet with multiple legislators in Olympia. Our purpose is to demonstrate how one system comes together to identify common needs and advocate for what our system needs to meet the multiple accountability measures imposed by the state and federal governments. The legislators tell us that we are the only system that lobbies with these diverse groups and they enjoy the opportunity. It also results in them giving us more time to share our concerns and requests.
Tomorrow we will focus on the following areas.
- Funding the McCleary decision.
- Funding to support staff development for teachers, classified staff, and administrators.
- Please, no new mandates from this short session.
- Cost of living increase for school personnel.
- Delay and restructuring of the 1080 hour requirement. (SSB 6552 was recently submitted that both delays the implementation by a year and provides flexibility in meeting the requirement. This is a positive move by multiple legislative leaders, something that we did not believe possible when the session started.)
We will be sharing our message with six legislators throughout the day. This coalition is another example of the collaborative culture we are creating and contributes to what separates us from many other school systems. I don't know what influence we will have on their voting, but I do know that our process provides us with a greater opportunity than most to be heard.

A Derry dad has spoken of his devastation after discovering the man he thought was a family friend, had been sexually abusing his daughters.
The father, who we cannot name to protect the identity of his children, was speaking after Thomas O'Bryan, whose address was given in court as Tennyson Avenue, Bangor, was sentenced to six years for the abuse, at Portsmouth Crown Court on June 26.
O'Bryan, 65, who is originally from Derry, was found guilty of three counts of gross indecency on a child under 14 and four counts of indecent assault against a female. The offences took place in the Portsmouth area where both families lived in the 1980s. The girls were aged just 6 and 7.
"I unwittingly trusted the treasures of my life to a monster," the girls' father said.
"I would never have suspected his vile acts and practices of obscenity. I have had my precious, precious girls' innocence plundered right under my very nose and I have mulled over and thought about that and hated myself for the past 33 years."
He urged parents never to trust their children to anyone else or let them go for sleep overs.
"Don't let your children go, if there's something I can advise parents now, it's not to trust their children to other people no matter how much you think you know them.
"The shadow of this abuse hangs heavily over us and I don't believe it will ever go away. It is like we have been injected with poison."
The man revealed that O'Bryan began visiting the family home when they moved to Portsmouth in the 1980s.
He said when his daughter turned 13 she told her parents what had happened. "Out of the blue she came down the stairs balling and crying," he said. "She told us Tommy had been interfering with her."
He said they questioned their older daughter about whether she had been abused but she told them nothing had happened.
"My older daughter didn't want to talk about it," he said. "She was going to take it to the grave with her.
"The police visited Tommy O'Bryan but he denied it. It was her word against his."
The Derry dad said the abuse had an horrific impact on his younger daughter's life and she spiralled out of control. "It is a deep regret to me that the accusations made in 1989 were not better investigated and recorded," he said.
But just recently his elder daughter spoke up about the abuse. The trial was held in Portsmouth and O'Bryan was found guilty.
The judge in Portsmouth sentenced O'Bryan to six years ordering that this sentence run consecutively with a previous sentence handed down by Downpatrick Court in January.
"I will never get over the guilt that I trusted this man," the dad said. "I thought we were the best of friends but now I realise the thing we had in common was access to my girls and that was the full extent of his friendship with me. A lot of years have passed but the hurt is always present."
The man said that after the court case his girls said they would never talk about the abuse again.
"My daughter told me that she didn't care if O'Bryan was found guilty, but it was enough that she was able to talk about what happened.
"I would generally be known to be a calm and laid back person but you will probably hear in my words the extent of my depression, rage and lack of understanding of this issue."

I have three Anne Mather Harlequin Presents Books that do not match up with the ISBNs of the wish listers - and indeed when I input the book ISBNs two of them do not match with the books, but with newer Harlequins! I'm not sure why. So, I'm going to post here in hopes someone finds this. The ones I have are Devil's Mount (#205), Forbidden Flame (#436) and Moon Witch (#38). All are in good condition (with respect to their age!) - Moon Witch has a very small chip in the cover at the bottom of the binding, but all are unmarked. They are listed on my bookshelf, so feel free to request directly or send me a PM if you have a question.
Thanks, Marilyn

San Jose, Calif.-based Symmetricom (UNKNOWN:SYMM.DL) has a new chief executive officer.
On Tuesday, the "precise time" computer announced a series of changes in upper management. Current CEO David G. Cote is leaving the company "to pursue other interests" and has been replaced by new CEO Elizabeth A. Fetter, a current board member. Details on Fetter's compensation have yet to be filed with the SEC.
Additionally, Chairman of the Board Robert T. Clarkson is ceding his chair to new Chairman James Chiddix (although Clarkson will remain on the board, and actually chair the compensation committee). Finally, board members Alfred F. Boschulte and Richard W. Oliver plan to retire from the board when their terms of office expire in October.
Symmetricom shares, which have lagged the broader stock market significantly over the past year and under the past management, responded positively to the change in tack, rising 2.4% in Tuesday trading to closer at $5.20.

Magic on The Lake
Every now and then I get together with my friends and we do a creative shoot together. Jennifer Ireland is a fantastic make-up artist and Paula O'hara is an amazingly talented photographer who can capture magical moments and create something beautiful every time. It is always an honour to work with these two girls. On Sunday morning, the 2nd December my alarm woke me at 5am! normally, I'd roll over and pop the snooze button on, but not this morning. This morning, I felt like a child at christmas. I jumped up out of bed, popped the kettle on and got myself ready to go and do a creative shoot with my friends. I was so excited, triple excited in fact to create the hair for this shoot. The model Sophie Irwin was just perfect to play our lady of the lake and it was her first ever photoshoot! She totally rocked it! It was freezing cold and while we had earmuffs, fur coats and wellies on, poor Sophie was stood on a wee bridge on a lake with a whimsical wedding dress on. Ursula Bamford of BFord created a lovely lace headband for the shoot, Petticoat Lane Bridal provided the dress and Tim from Floral Earth in Holywood supplied the flowers and created the most magnificent winter floral head crown and when you see the images I'm sure you'll agree he rocked it! I hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much as I enjoyed help create them. xo

Here's a post made especially for Ice-T and the Final Level Twitter Gang. A comic strip that I made a few years back that I thought you might get a kick out of. You can click the comic for a larger version.
The above strip comes from this comic, published in 2004.
SPY GUY: MINIS is a collection of mini comic strips created between October 2001 and April 2005, primarily as a stream of consciousness to explore ideas surrounding the aftermath of 9-11 and the resulting war on terror. The comics also include a humorous barrage of pop-culture reference, philosophy and current events, through the eyes of police officers in the Special Investigation Division's Intelligence Unit.

A question.
In a response to your Icelantic Banking crisis, Doc H Ball asks why West Ham have not pushed the Kabba affair. I have the same question.
We are alledged to have had a clause (unused) that could have been enforced by a third party. This did not happen, and we were fined £5.5m. In the eyes of the arbitration committee, this lead to a three point advantage.
In the Steve Kabba affair, it was supposedly on the SUFC website and also in the Watford programme notes that the clubs had agreed he would not play. This is not potential third party influence, but actual influence. Yet, no action is taken. Surely, this is worth more than a 3 point deduction.The result was a win for Sheffield United, so if the points are removed, then this would negate the so called arbitration result.
So the question! Why are we not pushing this and using it to mitigrate the current action?
Any enlightenment would be gratefully received.
Indeed it would.

POLICE raided a party in Campbeltown High Street after they saw a man covered in blood on the street.
At Campbeltown Sheriff Court last week, Adam Graham, 24, pleaded guilty to a charge of resisting arrest and behaving abusively, subsequently in a police cell, following the party at his home at 47F High Street, Campbeltown on June 5 last year.
In the dock with him was Jonathan Mogie, 24, unemployed, of 4, Harbour View, Campbeltown, who pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening manner, at the party, when police gained entry.

On a recent trip to St. Louis I made a pit spot at H&M {I can't resist} and picked up several casual sweaters and sweatshirts {keeping on theme with my last post}. I can't wait to wear them throughout the cooler months, perfect to dress up with a pair of jeans and heels, or to throw on over a casual dress. I have my eye on several more sweaters to scoop up when they open here in New Orleans! After many years of waiting, the doors open on Oct. 31! In the meantime, here are my H&M online picks for comfy and casual.
*all sweaters can be found HERE
Inspired by these recently pinned looks {here and here}, and it's official I'm mad for plaid!
Veronica Beard is a designer whose collections I look forward to every season. I absolutely love her pieces and the looks she creates. The price points are out of my range, but the styling is perfect for inspiration. These images from her fall collection have me inspired and craving much cooler weather!
*all images found here
With October starting tomorrow {where does the time go?} I thought I would look back on a few of my favorite things from September. From an epic bike day with amazing friends, to trying new restaurants, picking up a few new clothing items, a trip to Austin, and a night with Jerry Seinfeld… September you were good, you were real good, can't wait to see what the rest of Fall has in store.
*all photos my own, follow along on instagram
My olive military vest is in full rotation. It's the perfect transition piece, light enough to add layers, but not warmth, and lays nicely over dresses, button downs and blouses. Once it gets a little cooler, it will be perfect for over sweaters as well. If you don't have one, you should get one, I think you will be surprised at how much you wear it.
A few of my favorites:
Image Credit: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right
A piece that remains missing from my closet is a classic trench. I love the look, but have never gotten around to purchasing one, and the weather here doesn't call for this type of piece too often. The fall looks for Zara are amazing and this trench is calling my name. I love the shape and the details, and the fact it looks, oh so similar, to a fancy Burberry one, that I've loved forever.
A girlfriend and I got to talking the other day about booties, and I became inspired with the idea of forgoing knee-high boots this year. I think I can support this for a few reasons, first off, it doesn't get that cold down here, secondly, booties tend to be less expensive and thirdly the styles are much more fun {a few of my favorites featured below}. A little personal challenge for myself, can I get through the fall and winter with booties only? Challenge accepted!
{all styles under $140}

On one of our days in Koh Phi Phi, we took a full day longtail boat tour. The first stop was Monkey Island, where we got out and fed the monkeys and took pictures of them. Some of the bigger ones were quite aggressive and kind of scary! The one to the left has a baby; see it?
The next stop was for some snorkeling. It was here that our little "waterproof" camera went kaput. Here is one of the final shots I got from it. The snorkeling couldn't compare to the Great Barrier Reef, but it was still pretty awesome.
We then went to Maya Bay. This is where the movie The Beach (with Leonardo diCaprio) was filmed. Though it was pretty crowded with tourists, including several longtail and regular boats, it was still gorgeous. The whole bay is surrounded with giant green limestone cliffs; you almost can't believe a place like this exists in real life.
After some more snorkeling and the viewing of another beach with monkeys, we hung out on the boat and waited for the sun to go down. Another beautiful sunset was the perfect way to end our day on the longtail boat!
|Zack is living the life at Maya Bay!

We've had a heat wave this week in Cleveland… in the 90s in September. I was feeling it and so was Lulu. So it was time for her second shave-down this summer. While we only adopted Lulu last November, I have already stepped into the realm of at-home grooming, with a hot dog summer in the city.
Being she is a naturally long-haired dog it was clear she had been groomed before in her life prior to our adoption. When we first took her to the groomer they said she was very well-behaved.
Hot Dog Summer in the City
I actually had a lot of trouble finding a groomer for her and when we finally found someone we liked … only two blocks from where we live, the business suddenly relocated and let the groomer go. I was really upset over the idea of having to find another groomer again.
But maybe more upsetting was the cost of grooming. At $40 a pop this was going to add up big time over Lulu's lifespan. Her hair grows really quickly so she was going every other month, too. (More than I get my hair cut!)
I started to watch grooming videos on YouTube and researching dog clippers on Amazon.com. I also spoke to a friend who has a morkie she has groomed at home. Maybe I could do this myself? The husband thought I was crazy.
But I figured if the clippers cost $60 and I screwed it up twice… we wouldn't be out any more than the cost of two grooming sessions. Instead I didn't screw it up. Lulu seems happy with her new 'do and is a lot more comfortable. So you are probably wondering how she turned out?
Hot Dog Summer in the City
Take a look…
Maybe when I become more comfortable with the process I will film a video and/or post details about how I groom her. I will definitely say it's easier to do outside right now. Come winter I'm not sure yet how we'll manage with all that hair!
Do you groom your own dog?

Purpose of the Web Site
The purpose of the CNCA 06 Area web site is to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous by providing a resource on the internet where alcoholics can get information about the activities and business pertaining to the California Northern Coastal Area 06 of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Next link is for Policies of the Website Committee (Policies/Guidelines/Procedures) as named in the Motions book.
Website Committee Policies/Guidelines/Procedures: (approved by Committee June 2016). (Currently new version is under revision, in ad hoc, so this link is temporary but fulfills the passed motion to have Website Guidelines online until the new version is ready for posting.)
The CNCA Website Committee meets at 11am, the 4th Saturday of the month except the 3rd Saturday in December. We meet at the Petaluma Community Center at 320 N. McDowell Blvd; Petaluma, CA.
Area Meeting Location (link).
We have open meetings and AA visitors are welcome.
Questions may be referred to Website Committee Chair by clicking here or going to the Contact Us page on the CNCA website, http://www.cnca06.org/
Our service panels coincide with the panel of CNCA 06 beginning in January of the odd year and is a two year panel ending December 31 on the even year. To serve on this committee , write down your name, phone, and e-mail, and please give this to any Area officer in the Summer or Fall of the even year, which is the second year of our service panels.
We welcome your interest.
Types of work: In addition to updating Pre-Defined content such as newsletters, Chair Preview, Delegates Corner, a motions pages, calendars (both static and interactive calendars), we have various projects each panel as time permits.
Primary purpose content and newcomer content are both topics we address regularly as well as Self-Support information which renews or updates each panel, as information comes to this committee via the Chair of the Area Committee. We have had discussion topics to get more GSR information onto this Website and that would take approval of the Area Committee by Housekeeping motion or regular motion to get new content added to the Website. Before any member creates a project, it must be discussed with the full committee and brought to approval to proceed and if it involves new content, that also needs the approval of the Area Committee after Committee approval, before proceeding with that particular project but all projects relate to bringing information to the Website people can use, and benefit from. We use a literature link instead of a literature pdf. Tradition statements will be in the FAQ, as a link to a pdf document which will also link to the AA Guidelines on the Internet.
This page is edited with the approval of the Website Committee each panel as they are autonomous to have their own Standing Committee page each panel. Our Committee has seven members, and two serve in a technical capacity, taking care of the back end of the website . Editor and Alternate editor are elected in the January meeting of each new panel. Other positions are available as well. Ask a Committee member or the Chair of the Committee for more information if you are interested in serving on the Website Committee. Spanish speaking members may serve as there is a Spanish side of the Website that needs editing as well as the English side of the Website site. This is a bilingual site with content in English and Spanish, serving the Area's communication needs for events, newsletters and additional information.
Thank you.

Over a million international tourists visit Chicago each year. They march the streets, eyes to the skies, fawning over the architecture, pouring into Giordano's for an 'authentic' deep dish, fish facing the Bean, gorging themselves on Italian Beef, and looking down on the rest of us from the Willis (Sears) Tower. My family and I have never done any of these things and, since moving from Milwaukee and officially making Chicago my home almost 7 years ago, I still haven't done them. This saddens me because Chicago is a national treasure and the home of many American firsts. I'd like to appreciate the architecture, gawk at the monuments, and eat a hot dog like I don't live here and see this stuff every day.
Chicagoings' brand new series, The Local Tourist, is a pretty great excuse to look at Chicago through the Kanye West novelty glasses of a tourist. With each article expect to fall deeper in love with your city and grow more knowledgeable of the gems within it.
This week my accomplice and I embark on a local rite of passage: Afternoon Tea at Palm Court in the Drake Hotel.
High Tea at Palm Court in the Drake Hotel (Gold Coast, 140 E Walton Street)
The History
The story goes that this tradition started in 1840 by the Seventh Duchess of Bedford to fill her hunger during the long periods between meals. Quickly this 'snack time' became a big elaborate excuse to gossip with friends and drink in the middle of the day.
My partner in crime
Maritza Buelvas. Writer of The Coquette Baguette (www.thecoquettebaguette.com), Assistant Editor of Giuliana Rancic's journal FabFitFun (www.fabfitfun.com), and Chicago Wedding Hairstylist (www.bridalhairartistchicago.com). She does it all!
How it All Went Down
Like me, Maritza is an only child who at an early age developed an obsession with fashion and breakfast. That's right, breakfast. Ever craved crapes at 2 a.m.? Eaten waffles after a night out with your friends? Preferred flaky biscuits to boring dinner rolls? Then chances are you too are obsessed with this, most important, meal of the day. Didn't know that about yourself, did ya?
Maritza is a breakfast guru. Her blog, The Coquette Baguette, provides an exclusive look into the nation's best breakfast spots and offers advice on what to wear while noshing. She describes it as "a breakfast blog with an appetite for style". Check out her site for a fabulous midday pick-me-up!
"My favorite breakfast would have to have been in Paris …with my husband." The culinary trifecta: enchanting surroundings, beautiful clothing, and, of course, great food. Maritza looks down at her tea and smiles. "It was just perfect!" High tea in London with her mom and aunt comes in at a close second favorite and I can see her becoming lost in thought as she reminisces on these moments.
My favorite breakfast would have to have been in Paris …with my husband.
Afternoon Tea at the Drake Hotel is something I've never done because, frankly, I'm an espresso drinker – and espresso doesn't cost $40. If it did I'd be homeless from my habit. Thankfully, Martiza is a pro at this and patiently helps me select my tea (Chocolate Mint Truffle). The waiter quickly rushes over with our sandwich and pastry selections (which are so small I feel a bit like Alice after digesting a 'drink me' potion) and our afternoon formalities commence. Surprisingly, the vibe isn't hoity-toity or hilariously antiquated. The feel of the room is, in a word, peaceful; kept interesting by the giddy laughter associated with ladies-who-lunch. A few steps away, the harpist pulls serene cords at just the perfect tone and our tea is richer and more captivating than even my last cup of coffee. I'm hooked! What's more, by the end of it all we were completely full and each left with doggy bags.
Survey Says…
Full disclosure: Afternoon Tea at the Drake's going to cost you $38 per person prior to gratuity. Is it worth it? I'm shocked to say it is! Remember, although exquisitely delicious, you're not paying for the tea and sandwiches, per se, but for the moment. The Palm Court is one of the most beautiful dining spaces in the city. Your food is served on the finest China, and a harpist is draping the experience in tranquility. It's worth the occasional splurge for a lasting memory best shared with family and friends.
The Local Tourist is a series targeting Chicagoans who love their city but take for granted its many wonders. Each article offers a new look at an old Chicago tourist attraction.

I think the bottle is cut beautiful and elegant. It reminds me of a cut crystal glass or an antique perfume bottle. It's nice to see something different in the line up of new perfumes, and not the same generic cheap looking bottles. I didn't care that it was a hilary duff perfume. She does have a better rep than every current
teen star. The perfume to me was unusual and creamy, woodsy, slightly sweet. But a natural sweet, not fake tart-like. Overall the perfume is charming. Better than most celeb scents. *UPDATE* Today when I was testing perfumes for over 2 hours and determined to buy one, I got this in a set. I bought the big one with 3.3oz bottle, lotion and candle. Which I have to say that the candle smells great just on it's own! I am SICK TO DEATH of reading comments that the bottle is old lady-ish. I'm 24, and it makes me wonder just how young you are that you only want a perfume if the bottle is pink...Change your style ladies, immaturity shows in your language. Dust head to toe in baby powder and I'm sure you'll smell "young". ANOTHER UPDATE: A year later and this is still the best celeb perfume made. The rest are fruit and sugar "blast you out of the room" perfumes.

My 10 y.o. daughter and I first tried this aas we left the movie theater after seeing "Material Girl." The ushers were handing out sample cards. We tried it, and immediately fell for it. It is a light oriental woody scent which has some unusual ingredients such as cocobolo wood and mangosteen fruit. This is a cross between sweet and spicy, and Hilary intended for all age groups to wear it. It has succeeded. I could see myself wearing it to work, and it wouldn't be too mature for my daughter. The bottle was designed after a beautiful bottle that Hilary had seen on her grandma's dressing table. The ring on the neck was designed after an antique ring she bought for herself. Try this one and see if it works for you.

First off, I want to state I neither loath or like Hilary Duff, thus making my review unbasied, lol. I must of been in a cave, I didn't know Hilary Duff had a perfume out. Well, it actually debut in department stores Sept. 14th. I went to Macy*s & the SA stopped me, telling me about this fragrance, trying to get me all worked up for it, I was like,"I don't know...." I wasn't curious, why? The bottle wasn't my taste. It's something my grandmother would have in her vanity(almost like Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor). The SA was trying to get me to pre-sell, that I would recieve a bracelt as free gift with a pre-order of a purchase of $55 or more..the bracelt was some kind of pleather thing with a huge yellow stone in the middle, looks very bohemanian-romantic, but in order to excute the sale I must smell the frangrance 1st! I don't know what the notes exactly are, all I know it's has tropical fruits, woods, musk, and creamy vanilla notes. I would say this smells VERY similar to Burberry Brit, very mature but playful, fruity and spicey, it's something I can see my mom wearing (in fact she kinda likes it!) and me too! I was sold. I pre-ordered the damn perfume, I mean I only have one right now! (Princess by Vera Wang)...my other favorite frangance is Britney Spears In Control. If you like Burberry Brit also you definitaly SHOULD give this a wiff!

War Machine #1
Writer: Greg Pak
Artist: Leonardo Manco
Colors: Jay David Ramos
Letters: Virtual Calligraphy
Cover artists: Leonardo Manco (regular edition) & Mike Deodato (variant)
Editor: Bill Rosemann
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $2.99 US
While one could argue that a darker tone in Greg Pak stories isn't a new thing (see The Incredible Hulk, World War Hulk), with War Machine, he explores much grittier terrain than he has in the past. Sure, Pak writes a bloody barbarian story in Skaar, Son of Hulk, but what makes War Machine harsher in tone is the fact that it's much more grounded in reality, even though it stars an armor-clad cyborg. While this new title clearly has its roots in the Marvel Universe, it reads like an independent title with super-hero trappings, yet something that's still limited by a larger brand. Pak's premise portrays the title character as something of a Punisher type with a focus on war crimes rather than street-level corruption. Given Pak's track record and stories that led up to this new ongoing series, I expect we'll see more depth in James Rhodes's character in forthcoming issues. I hope so, as there wasn't much to be found in this inaugural issue. I know I sound overly negative about this first issue, and I don't mean to be. Pak and artist Leonardo Manco offer up an intense, kinetic opening chapter, but their creative child's initial steps are awkward ones at times.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Paul George was ready to play Thursday night - and not just in another charity softball game.
He was ready for the biggest challenge of all. A little more than 10 months after a horrific leg injury and just hours after impressing his coach with an hour-long workout, the Indiana Pacers' two-time All-Star proclaimed he felt like his old self and was ready to face his biggest rival.
''I'm dunking on both legs, and if we were in the finals tonight, I'd be ready for LeBron,'' George joked before the first pitch at the Caroline Symmes Celebrity Softball Challenge. ''I guess I should say I'd be ready for the (Golden State) Warriors.''
For George, it's been a long road back from that ugly, unforgettable scene last August.
After running into a basketball stanchion and gruesomely snapping his right leg during a U.S. national team scrimmage, the budding NBA star was wheeled off the Las Vegas court on a stretcher. He missed 76 games before making his season debut April 5.
Now, almost exactly two months later, George says he's regained his timing, his explosiveness and his confidence, and coach Frank Vogel has detected a noticeable difference.
''He looks really good,'' Vogel said. ''Obviously he was back and healthy enough to play last season, and now he's taken another step. We're encouraged with what he's been able to do.''
Vogel was so happy with what he saw that he seemed more concerned about pitching to George than seeing his best player get hurt - or plunked - by an errant throw.
The 6-foot-9 forward wasn't the only injured player under the microscope at Thursday's game, which is sponsored by the Tony Stewart Foundation and benefits the Indiana Children's Wish Fund.
Colts' Pro Bowl linebacker Robert Mathis, George's co-host, planned to participate on a more limited basis even though he has been held out of the team's offseason workouts. The NFL's 2013 sacks champion is trying to come back from a torn left Achilles' tendon in September.
Mathis made it clear that while he would play softball, he didn't plan on running.
But both stars believe recoveries are on track and expect to be at or near 100 percent when their respective seasons begin.
''It's getting there,'' Mathis said. ''I'm not going to rush it, but I'll be ready in September. I'm going to work hard to get back to my old self and I'll leave it at that.''
While Mathis has remained relatively quiet since getting hurt while serving a four-game suspension for violating the league policy on performance-enhancing substances, George has become increasingly more visible around town.
On May 24, he came to the Indianapolis 500 in a helicopter with Tori Gwyn, a patient at Riley Hospital for Children in Indy.
On Thursday, he was back in front of his fans playing softball.
It was a stark contrast to what fans witnessed when they last saw George competing April 15. That was the night Indiana's season ended with a loss at Memphis and George gave Pacers fans another scare when he had to be carried into the locker room late in the game.
Fortunately, he was only diagnosed with a strained right calf. But the effects lingered for weeks.
''It scared me a lot because I felt the pop and I heard the pop. I knew that was not good,'' George said before being asked whether he could have played - if Indiana had made the playoffs. ''I was done. It would have been at least a four- or five-week thing.''
But Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird had hoped all along that George could play last season so he could find out what he needed to work on in the next phase of his comeback.
It's worked out perfectly.
With the left calf healing and the right leg healed, the California native has been working hard to get back to an All-Star level.
''Everything's great,'' he said. ''I needed the time off to kind of nurse myself back and strengthen my body, add another element to my game. ... But this (softball) is all fun and games. I'm not coming out here to make the Indians. We're out here to have some fun and for a good cause.''

Great for the young and fit
My husband and I loved the location, enjoyed our greeter's enthusiasm and information, but the 61 steps up to the studio was a little tiring for a couple of retirees. (There is no elevator.) A small love seat or two wing-chairs would have made the evenings more comfortable than negotiating a couple of bean-bag chairs. I wrote Magray a note of small items that need attention. All in all, for the price of a place to rent in Barcelona, this is a great bargain.
The apartment was Perfect! It was smaller however for two people trying to travel and see alot this was perfect space and location. We were in walking distance to so many churches , sites, parks, restaurants etc. The apartment was clean and cute. Overall, it was a great experience!
cosy and well located
The apartment is small but
The perfect apartment for people on the go!
We loved this apartment. It was small, cozy and pretty bare bones, with a bed, two chairs at the table and bean bag chairs for lounging, but everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen has all the basics and they even had a converter for charging (a big plus as we forgot ours. Thanks!) It was perfect for our lifestyle, which is to play hard during the day and sleep hard at night. The shutters kept out the street noise and the light in the morning, so we were able to sleep in each day. A plus when in Barcelona as we never got home before midnight. The building is typically european and quite noisy as people travel up and down the inner stairwell, but this is also the charm of living like the locals. The front of the building and balcony are being renovated and covered with netting, so the balcony was unusable and the view not ideal, but since we were out all day, this didn't impact our stay. Transportation from the airport was easy with the new metro lines directly into town and the metro lines are an easy few blocks in either direction. Communication and access to the apartment was easy. We explored a different Barcelona neighborhood each day and quickly realized we were staying in the best one, with a great mercado two blocks away and many plazas also within a few blocks to enjoy a late night glass of wine. It is also a great neighborhood for shopping local merchants wares. An excellent experience and we would happily book this apartment again.
Perfect apartment!
Perfect apartment and amazing location!
Very nice owner of the property, the place has everything you need and it`s very comfortable!
We would be very happy to stay again!
Great location at an even price!
This is a great location! The owner of the property is very friendly. Great communication. And the bonus view of the Sagrada Familia from the roof terrasse is a great plus!
One bedroom & bed-sofa, Air Conditioning & heating, full equipped, internet WIFI
Apartment very beautiful, quite and safe. Renovated in 2008, it has all the commodities you will need. It is quiet, lightly and with a nice balcony. The apartment is located in the border between Gracia and Eixample neighbourhoods. This location has the best of these two areas of Barcelona. From Gracia area it has the charming, the quite and bohemian way of life with many restaurants, bars, small shops,...and from the Eixample (Diagonal and Passeig the Gracia) has the smart boutiques, the Gaudí amazing modernist houses 'La Pedrera', 'Casa Batlló' and 'Casa Milá'. It is only a few meters from Diagonal Avenue and Passeig de Gracia. Apart from this, the apartment is only 10 minutes walking to the old city center (Plaza Catalunya and Gothic area). Near the apartment there are four metro stations (L3, L5, L6 and L7) only 2 minute from the apartment. Direct bus to Barcelona beaches in only 10-15 minutes!

The family of a young Queensland girl who died after she underwent surgery to address a hereditary blood disease say they hope the coroner can determine why she lost her life from a preventable condition.
In June 2011, Lilli Sweet, then aged four-and-a-half, underwent a splenectomy, or removal of the spleen, to address her Spherocytosis.
Lilli's father and grandfather both have the condition, which affects the red blood cells which are mistaken by the spleen for damaged cells and attacked.
Lilli was discharged 24 hours after her surgery and referred for follow up to a GP and pediatrician.
Two years later, in August 2013 she suffered nausea, vomiting and neck pain and was admitted to the emergency department of the Nambour Hospital, where she received treatment for dehydration and was given pain relief medication.
Antibiotics were administered the next morning.
However by that time Lilli was suffering from severe sepsis, counsel assisting the coroner Megan Jarvis told a pre-inquest hearing in Brisbane on Tuesday.
She died in the Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane after unsuccessful emergency treatment.
The inquest heard pneumococcal meningitis was later found to be the cause of death.
The family was now seeking answers as to why treatment was not carried out correctly, Lilli's grandfather William Sweet said outside the court.
"I've had the same disease and here I am at 75 years of age, and as fit (and) as well as anybody can be," he said.
Mr Sweet said the entire family had been impacted by the tragedy, including Lilli's twin brother.
"(She was a) typical girl that loved pink, everything had to be pink - her room was pink, her clothes were pink," he said.
"A very vibrant girl and very smart girl. (We're) very proud of her."
The Queensland Coroner's Court will examine the circumstances around the death and the appropriateness of the treatment provided over four days in November.

The Nuts & Bolts For Level-headed Tactics In
Education Minister James Merlino said students had presented him with "very compelling arguments" about why there should be mandatory student representatives on school councils with full voting rights. David Trevorrow, a Victorian Student Representative Council executive student, who is calling for mandatory student representation on school councils. "We know that schools that have a strong student voice perform better," he said. "Providing our students with a key role in decision making at their schools is important and this is something I am considering very seriously." As well as scrutinising and signing off on payments, school councils approve annual budgets, develop and review policies, establish a school's "broad direction and view", enter into contracts and may also be involved in appointing principals.

ABC's Last Man Standing has set the network TV standard for mocking the leftist point of view (though South Park is still king). It's a rarity on television these days, I know. But the few programs that dare set foot on that territory have found an underserved market that is alive and well. For this, Last Man Standing and South Park, I salute you. On the most recent episode, Eve had to take part in a mock debate and argue as a liberal.
It went about as well as you would expect…
Eve: I've been researching liberal positions. I Googled "How to talk out of your ass," but that was no help. By the way, never Google "How to talk out of your ass."
Ryan: Look, if you really want to prepare, we should have a mock debate.
Eve: That's a good idea. You spew your usual garbage, and I'll mock you.
Ryan: No, because then you'll never learn how to defend a liberal's point of view.
Eve: That's because it has no defense! Zing! How's that for a cogent argument?
Ryan: First sign of a bad argument — the need for the word "Zing." Look, if you want to win, you got to practice saying what a liberal would say.
Eve: Okay. Hooray for taxes! Give me free stuff! White men suck! You mean like that?
It's funny because it's all true!
Look no further than the comment section of any website with any news story. White privilege? Check. LGBTQAI (silent F)? Check. RAISING TAXES ON THE ONE PERCENT!!? Double check, unless you're the rich person and you'd rather not raise your own taxes (we're looking at you, Bernie Sanders).
Arguing with a leftists is mostly an exercise in futility. Primarily because they don't actually care about opposing ideas. What matters is their feelings. The life of a leftist is quite simple. Wake up, feel something, convince yourself that you care about people. Also, don't put those feelings or caring into action other than protesting and making hashtags (read Dear 'Feminists': You'll Never Be Relevant Until You Address Islam's Real Rape Culture…) Don't be ridiculous. Effort? Work? Don't be daft.. That's why people get taxed, yo, so leftists can continue their feeling/caring full time. Read Dear #FightFor15 Whiners: Stop Protesting. Start Earning…
That's why Last Man Standing tickles our funny bones. We've all experienced it. Debating a leftist only to throw up our hands simultaneously throwing up our lunches. Then they show us their lesbian girlfriends. NOTE: the two are unrelated.
Here's an example of said debate below:

Today is Easter for those who have been living under a rock. Easter is the remembrance of when Jesus rose from the grave. He died on friday and rose again in 3 days. Isn't it amazing that Jesus died for us. He went through so much pain and God waited until the timing was correct for him to raise his only son. I live in pain everyday. That is nothing new for me. I've gotten two years under my belt. I keep thinking of the day when I wont hurt anymore. It may not be while I am here on Earth but I know when I am in heaven I wont hurt. I'm not rushing that process to get to Heaven one bit, but I'm so excited for that day.
Someone once told me that the pain Jesus felt was the sin of everyone who was living, who lived and who was going to live in the future. So our sins, our children's sin, our great-great-great-great-grandparents sin, I can't imagine how much that hurt. I can understand why Jesus said, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46. I know that when I hurt so much I become angry. I feel so descouraged when I can't do the simplest things. Like opening a bag, or even walking. I get so upset because I've lost some of who I was.
On those days where it hurts the most. I can't think I can make it I somehow find the strength to make it through. That strength only comes from God. No one else can explain it to me. In my weakest times God is there to pick me up. I've been working on being able to trust God more.
So this Easter think of what Jesus did for us. He died for us so that we can live and not have to live in hell once we die.
He has Risen for you and me! He has Risen indeed!

Last Saturday we enjoyed our city's Christmas parade. It was fun we all liked it and so did Emma although she took a nap right in the middle of it and nothing really bothered her. I really like it when she can sleep over any noise. Later she woke up and enjoyed it some more.
Sophia is not a sports person, she does not like any sports at all or physical activities whatsoever music is her thing. Lately she's been toying with the idea of joining a dance studio. There were various dance studios at the parade. So this week we finally went in and inquired about the classes. It's almost the end of the year and the classes are getting ready to perform at various events therefore Sophia will get to take a free class on Thursday December 17 to get a feel for it and if she likes it we will register her to start classes in January. Yay! more after school activities to make the day even shorter :/
Maybe she will be in the next Christmas parade!
This is our weeks photo shoot.
