Blog Tour: Hunter of Shadows

Amazon Blurb:
The secrets he knows about her could get him killed.
Transferring to the New Orleans Police Department, Detective Silas MacCreedy has a hidden agenda: to secure his clan’s place once again in the Shifter hierarchy. What he didn’t count on was stumbling upon a sexy assassin who could shred his best intentions and lead him into a dangerous dance that threatens to engage his heart.
But the ones he doesn’t know . . .
Monica Fraser knows just how to make a man beg—for his life. But she has no clue how to fight her attraction to the fiercely intense detective who seems determined to get in her way, both professionally and intimately.
. . . could kill them both.
When emotional attachments to the past and an unexpected glimpse of a different future have her questioning her deadly purpose, Nica must discover the truth about her secret abilities in order to free herself from the forces that control her. But that freedom comes with a price—trusting those she’s been ordered to eliminate.

My Review:

I wished with all my heart that I could say I was blown away by this. It started off so very good! I actaully was getting into a Paranormal Romance *gasp* but then the main female character and the main male character just got it on out of the a most unsexy way ever. I'm not really looking for hardcore detail driven sex scenes. I have an imagination I can use it, but give me SOME details besides..."her molten core" and "the massive ridge of his erection.." When a writer obviously tosses in a sex scene just to toss one in there it makes me roll my eyes and put the book down.

I'm not a HUGE fan of Romance or the PR that float around the blogosphere, but I had high hopes for this one. It sounded like something that I would enjoy! I have heard awesome things about Nancy Gideon too so I was curious to read some of her stuff. Sadly, I wasn't impressed. Now fans of this genre may (and probably do) have different opinions and I respect that.

I did not finish. :( In order to be fair though I have posted reviews of this book by other bloggers that have reviewed it. Here they are:

Bite Club: Review
ParanormalCityGirl: Review

So as you can see I'm in the minority when it comes to this book!

Review: Before I Fall

What if you only had one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?
Samantha Kingston has it all: looks, popularity, the perfect boyfriend. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it turns out to be her last.
The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. Living the last day of her life seven times during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death—and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.

My Review:

This was on my "Wishlist" for a while before I got the opportunity to read it. I had read so many reviews about it, that I just couldn't help but have some preconceived notions. I went into this expecting to be completely blown away and amazed. I was to an extent. I think that this book suffered from a case of too much hype, at least for me.That is until the end. I won't spoil it but I will state right here and now that I was sobbing at the end.

 I enjoyed this book. I LOVE Lauren Oliver's writing. There. Simple. True. Her characters were written perfectly and flawed..or do I mean perfectly flawed because both of those statements fit. No one is perfect. No one is without flaws, and that is what makes this story so poignant.

I liked Sam. She made big  mistakes and little mistakes, but unlike most of us she gets to see how she effects the world around her. Her actions effect others in deep ways. When her eyes are open to the world around her, things become more beautiful and more real.

All in all, this was a wonderfully written book. It has a deep and emotional impact on the reader and makes them think. What if? What if you had one day to relive? What would you do differently? What if?

Ever feel completely overwhelmed by life in general? Not a specific anything really, just life. I have come to the realization that I am a person that NEEDS a little stress in her life to motivate her, but still..I've been STRESSED OUT! I know this has made me a grumpy person AND a slow reader. I'm thinking it's the holidays and finances. There are more holidays then I have the financial means to accommodate.

Thanksgiving was fine. My Dad hosts it and it's pretty informal. We show up and have some ham and fixings and hang out. It was fun. I enjoyed myself and I know my son did too. Christmas on the other hand. I have to budget for. I have to plan. I have to worry about certain family issues that I won't go into on my blog. It's stressful with a capital S.

I love it though. It's a weird thing. The holidays make me happy yet make me wanna take a flying leap off  of something!

Okay so therapy blog session over.
This week sucked reading wise. I only didn't read much. I'm behind on reviews again. I knew if I bragged on my system it would this week. NO bragging. Just reading and doing what I need to! There. Done.

Here is some pretty to help raise the spirits:

Review: Cheat River Three by Scott Baker Sweeney

Cheat River Three is inspired by Sweeney's Father and his exploits as a young man growing up in Virgina. It's not exactly a biography, but more like a fictional romp interspersed with details passed along from his Dad.  This story is about the bonds of friendship between three young people that grow and change as the years progress. It had a sort of "Stand By Me" feel to it at times, which is great!

Just as with his other stories, Sweeney knows how to hook a reader and keep them flipping pages and gobbling up his words! I have to admit that I rarely get into the "feel good" books, but this one really caught my attention and kept me wanting to know more about the characters. Eugene, James, and Kat are all wonderfully drawn characters that seemed real and familiar. Their exploits and stories will have you laughing and crying the whole time.

This is a touching story that I thoroughly enjoyed! I'm honored to have gotten a chance to read such a tender story.

Quick Review: Resonance by A. J. Scudiere

From Amazon:
The shift is coming. Soon. Dr. David Carter knows this. However, he's a geologist, so 'soon' means anywhere from tomorrow to a thousand years from now. People are dying. Now. Drs. Jordan Abellard and Jillian Brookwood are standing at the edge of Super AIDS. Or are they? They won't be able to figure it out if they can t get some authorization signed--and soon. But they're peons and no one is paying attention.
Whole species died at the last polar shift, 65 million years ago. Right now Dr. Becky Sorenson has some seriously mutated frogs in her lab. In Los Angeles, Bees are making abnormal columns on the side of the freeways. In Georgia, birds are migrating out of season. It all makes a sick kind of sense when the doctors consider that the last magnetic shift is strangely coincidental to the dinosaur die-out. And the only similarity in the problems today is that each is occurring in a 'hotspot'--a pocket of reverse polarity tells them all the shift is already here.

My Review:
I LOVE natural disaster type stories. I love movies like The Day After Tomorrow and Outbreak. Movies and books that are fiction but based on things that could happen, and might. These things are more terrifying then even my beloved Zombies, because they are plausible. So Resonance, is right up there with those stories in my views.

This is a fast paced story, that is terrifyingly laced with scientific facts and nail biting suspense all rolled into one! It thrilled and chilled me to the core to imagine the world that "The Shift" would bring! I could not put it down...okay well sleep was really the only reason I put it down, but it was very reluctantly! (And I'm a girl that loves her sleep!) Review and Giveaway!

Yeah so the awesome sauce people over at were sweet enough to let me review one of their shirts! You know I've been reading posts about them and seeing what they had to offer, so you know I was excited! Beyond belief! I mean seriously! They have an awesome selection that's bound to please every one in the world! Well maybe not everyone but get the point!

It was plum hard to decide which to choose. I spent nearly an hour going through and looking! I started in the Novelty T Shirts mainly because well they are cool. I clicked and poked and searched until *sounds of angels with brass horns trumpeting my victory* I found it! The Zombie T Shirt section!

**This is not me. Obviously. Hopefully you knew this. I did get this shirt though, and it is glorious!**

First things first, these people are fast!

Shipping: Super quick on the delivery! I was not expecting it to arrive as fast as it did! So they get plus points for that! I got a size large, but I am seeing I should have gotten a medium instead. That is all on ME.

This shirt is a thing of beauty!  (Hey we all have our own standards of beauty. This just happens to fall under mine!) The colors are vivid and the design is very nice and well done. The fabric is soft and definitely cozy.

All in all my experience with this company was excellent! Every step of the way was easy and convenient and FUN! So do I recommend? Heck yeah! :)

The Lovely People from CrazyDog have extended a great offer to me and my itty bitty blog! I am able to host a giveaway for a $15 dollar giftcard giveaway! Say What!? Yup, 15 whole dollars of awesome to be put towards the purchase of a super groovy t shirt!

So how do you win? Hmm That's a good question. Fill out this form to enter!

Review: God's Eye

From Amazon:
A demon . . .

Every soul he claims is another chance to advance.

Until he can walk among us, look like us, make us believe in him. The only thing holding him back is . . .
An angel. . .
The rules of the realm bind him from fighting
on the demon’s terms. But this is his chance
to steal something away from the demon,
to steal the thing the demon wants most . . .

A woman who must choose . . .

A woman who has been chosen.
Katharine is suddenly a pawn in a game
where the rules and the stakes are beyond her comprehension.
She must take a side even though she can’t tell angel from demon.
And in the end, they will all be judged.

My Review:

You know those books that you just rip through so quickly because you WANT TO KNOW? Well this is one of those books! I sometimes take notes as I read. It helps me sort things out in my brain and really helps with reviews, especially if the plot is complex and the characters are layered as thickly as the ones in God's Eye.

Now I am going to write out a couple of my notes so you can see what kind of awesome mind screwing this book will give you, in a good way.

1st Note: What are they? Angels or demons? WHO IS WHAT? OMG! I must know! (yes exactly like that)
Explanation: This book does NOT let you know who is the bad guy or who is the good guy straight away, nor does it really give you many hints. You are left pondering that til the very end and even then you are like ..."whoa really dude?" I like this very much! Instead of being spoon fed the answers, I like that you have to dig around to figure things out! Awesome! Plus points for you God's Eye!

2nd Note: Sexay tymes! This book has them! The naughty bits are very naughty. It was enough to bring a blush to my cheeks at times! The scenes are not descriptive so much as they are do I say it..they give just enough details to let your mind go to it's very own special place of naughty. (Make sense?) Which again is pretty darn awesome!

So this book is pretty heavy on the psychological and a little light on the fluffy bunny humor and the sweet sparkly romance, so if it's a cutesy romance read you are after you will NOT get it from this. If you like your books to have substance and a bit of a mind twist, this is where you'll get it. From start to finish, God's Eye delivered for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Review: The Last Book In the Universe

Blurb from Amazon:
It's the story of an epileptic teenager nicknamed Spaz, who begins the heroic fight to bring human intelligence back to the planet. In a world where most people are plugged into brain-drain entertainment systems, Spaz is the rare human being who can see life as it really is. When he meets an old man called Ryter, he begins to learn about Earth and its past. With Ryter as his companion, Spaz sets off an unlikely quest to save his dying sister -- and in the process, perhaps the world.

My Review:
This book suffered from a case of the misleading blurb. I thought the premise (based on the blurb) was good. It sounded like a book I'd really enjoy sinking my teeth into, but it's not exactly what the blurb makes it out to be. The blurb is (to me) for another book. THIS one was good too though.

Spaz is not really out to bring knowledge back. He is just out to help his sister. He's not a bad guy but he's not the epic hero that the blurb makes him seem. Ryter is kind of like Gandolf-lite but without that useful magic and snarkery. I kind of wished the book was more like the blurb so I can't really give this a complete thumbs up. It's a decent tale and was read-able. I am going to say that this might not be appropriate for anyone younger than a 9th grader, because  there are some mature themes involved at times.

It's not a horrible read, but the blurb got me all worked up and the book let me down a little bit.

The Sunday Salon

Howdy folks! Here I be again on this wonderfully cold Sunday morning, just sipping coffee and procrastinating on the cleaning I have to do! What about you? It's crazy how quickly this year has gone by, isn't it?

I turned 31 on Friday of last week. Yup I'm old-ish. I don't mind!  I have had such a great week just reading whatever I feel like, and I even got some wonderful surprises too! A few really awesome people gifted me some books that I've been drooling (no lie) over! I will post a thank you dedicated to them soon! Seriously, we are so broke right now that gifts weren't possible this year so these surprise books were just amazingly awesome to get! I cannot begin to describe how happy it made me! :)

I think that this next week I will have a personal read-a-thon! Most of my favorite shows are doing their mid-season break thing so I won't have many distractions so I'm going to read til my eyes go funny!

Speaking of funny..probably to just a few people but still..It's funny to ME!

I love Daryl from The Walking Dead! This guys is the reason this show rocks so hard! I would want him on my side during a Zombie Apocalypse!

Review: Allison Hewitt is Trapped

One woman's story as she blogs - and fights back - the zombie apocalypse

Allison Hewitt and her five colleagues at the Brooks and Peabody Bookstore are trapped together when the zombie outbreak hits. Allison reaches out for help through her blog, writing on her laptop and utilizing the military's emergency wireless network (SNET).  It may also be her only chance to reach her mother. But as the reality of their situation sinks in, Allison’s blog becomes a harrowing account of her edge-of-the-seat adventures (with some witty sarcasm thrown in) as she and her companions fight their way through ravenous zombies and sometimes even more dangerous humans.

My Review:
Zombies...duh they are my favorites! So when I saw this summary I was like yeah I'm gonna get it! So I did! I loved it, although I was a bit miffed at the cover. It kind of made me think that the majority of the book would take place in the bookstore. This was just a minor irksome thing. Seriously this book is a lot of fun.

Allison is kick butt and definitely someone I'd want on my side in a zombie apocalypse!

So let's see what we have here, shall we? Zombies, check. Action, check! Romance, check. Kick ass story telling, check check and CHECK! I am pleased with this book. I highly recommend it to any of my readers that enjoy this genre!

Back when I was participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon, we were asked to cast our current read as a movie. Here was my entry.

My cast:
My Book: Allison Hewitt is Trapped
 Kristen Bell as Allison
Michelle Rodriguez as Renny
Anthony Stewart Head as Collin

What Am I Reading-Monday?

I have decided that this week will be a "read whatever I want" week. I will focus on catching up with Anna K and Cheat River Three but then after that I will pick up whatever. I've been super stressed so I will probably need something fluffy and light!

So long story short, for this week I have no plan. I'm just gonna wing it. :)

The Sunday Salon

So it's Sunday. I've been awake since 3:30am for work. Didn't get to enjoy that extra hour, but I did go to bed really early so I'm not quite as tired as I had feared. I am kind of a bit stressed out. I have fallen behind on my reading, money is super tight, my son is feeling icky again, and I'm just tired all the time.  :(  So nothing much has been done lately. Hopefully things will get better this week. I'm crossing my fingers for that!

This made me giggle I hope it does for you too:
Yup! So there's my Sunday Salon. Informative isn't it? :) Let's bring on the week!

My Wish List is  HERE
but if you don't like amazon here are a few that I have been drooling over! :)
  • Dust and Decay
  • Juliet, Immortal.
  • Bad Taste in Boys
  • Ashes
  • Anything by Jonathan Maberry (I've read Rot and Ruin, Dead of Night, and Patient Zero)
  • The Marburry Lens

Quick Review: Patient Zero

Blurb: (From amazon)
When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills... and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills.  And that's both a good, and a bad thing.  It's good because he's a Baltimore detective that has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new taskforce created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can't handle. This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short. It's bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance....

My Review:
So just so we're crystal clear..I love Zombies. I love zombies so so so much! I LOVE how Jonathan Maberry writes zombies. He always makes you feel slightly bad for them. He doesn't forget the part where they used to be people, with personalities and feelings. THAT is awesome to me! Now don't get me wrong, I still cheer very heartily when the good guys destroy their faces, but I feel bad a little bit too. I like this strange set of emotions that I get from this.

Now Patient Zero was on my wishlist FOR-EV-ER! I pretty much tore into it the moment I got it! I enjoyed the mix of political/horror fiction. The world in PZ isn't black and white. The zombies aren't the ultimate evil here, they are just a tool used by the real bad guys...PEOPLE. The intrigues and plots were intricate and well drawn..very entertaining writing as per usual.

I am a big ole fan of Mr. Maberry so I may sound a little biased, but I found a few more reviews to balance out the non-crazy stans (Me) and the regular reviews (everybody else)

Most Helpful Customer Reviews:

„I am a big Harry Potter fan and am no less than thrilled to pieces to finally own the complete set of books. (and in hardback no less) The books in this collector’s set are the same books (content, artwork, cover and all) that have been sold before individually.

Yet I’m somewhat disappointed, if not slightly disillusioned that the „special collectors case” was a huge letdown. Given the obvious fact that Harry is huge worldwide, it would had behooved the publishers to do right by this commemorative set and make the case out of engineered wood (at the very least!) Instead they opted for the cheaper route and decided to make it out of… drum roll please…. CARDBOARD!

I dunno, maybe I was expecting to much?! (sigh…) 5 stars for Harry & minus one for the presentation…”

„These are great books, and definitely worth having for the collector. This is not a review of the books, but a review of the price. You are getting ripped off if you pay over $200 for these books. You can buy this exact set on which is the british version of amazon for 120 pounds plus shipping (which at the exchange rate today is equal to $176 plus shipping). So please look at the website like i did and save yourself a whole lot of money. Buyer Beware of sellers like this trying to con you into thinking they are giving you a deal.”

Don't put off until tomorrow what you should do today!!

This will be short, but I learned a huge lesson today.  I have been in the process of changing email accounts.  I was told by Intergate that I had until tomorrow the 22 to get everything done.  You know me, I put everything off until the last moment.  I did it again today and I LOST almost EVERYTHING!!!  Intergate deactivated my account a day early!  There is no way that they can retrieve any of my emails or addresses.  I really must stop putting things off until later!!!  Hopefully this is a lesson learned for a long time.

GE is me said...

I don't like those lessons either and since I'm a procrastinator.... (I NEVER learn those lessons!) ;)
On a different note- how is school going?
I hope well.

Pegsy said...

Oh dear! That's too bad that happened. We lost all our e-mails, addresses, etc. once because our computer crashed and died and nothing could be retrieved. It was not fun trying to rebuild everything.

Luminale is a bienalle of lighting culture, that was held in Frankfurt from 15-20 April 2012 in conjunction with Light+Building, a trade fair for architecture and technology.
This is the 6th time that Luminale will cast its spell on Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region. After the rapid growth of the early years, it has levelled off with around 170 events and thus ranks among Europe’s established and important architecture and design festivals. Luminale puts the spotlight on Frankfurt and the region. Thanks to the combination of Light + Building and Luminale, target groups as varied as industrial companies, artisans, the retail and wholesale trades, research, the property business and the cultural scene can find everything they need together at the same place and time – discussions, business transactions, inspiration and the good feeling that the sector’s products are needed for the ecological conversion of society.

He Gets Me

Yesterday, just as I was walking out of the office, lunch still uneaten in hand, Brad called. He asked if I could meet him for lunch somewhere--my pick. Yes. Yes, that is exactly what I needed.

We just went to a little place downtown--nothing fancy, just great sandwiches. We talked about work and nothing in particular. We went to vote. We were home in time to get the kids off the bus and do the afternoon and evening routines. It really wasn't anything extraordinary.

Except it was.

I am running on fumes. There's a lot of sadness around me. Our little family is thriving, but the sadness around me is getting to be a bit much. Work is still insane, and the housework is mounting. Families I know are dealing with things they shouldn't have to face. I can feel myself slipping into a funk, and I'm fighting to stay out. Thankfully, Brad is right there beside me pulling me out. He knows when I need a little extra of him, and for that I am forever grateful.

Ninja Hiding Spot

Monday, Issa set about reorganizing our DVDs. That left an empty hole that clearly needed to be filled with something while the DVDs were scattered about the floor:
He used his stealth ninja skills to hide.

Oh how I love this boy. He certainly keeps life interesting.

Pumpkin Horrors

Last night was pumpkin carving night at our house. It's always a bit of an adventure--but this year even more so. Remember those super cool unique pumpkins we chose at the patch? It appears that super cool unique pumpkins have super thick walls. Like three to four inch walls. Just getting the tops off required multiples knives, spoons, and shenanigans:
(Yes, Issa is sporting an eyeliner mustache. It's costume week at dance, and that was the best we could do for tumble, Most of our costumes would have been a safety hazard while flipping.)

Daddy and I pitched scooping them so we could still roast the seeds, but then we suggested that perhaps we could just paint them. The children would have none of that. Enter the power tools:
My floor suffered greatly:
But we ended up with great pumpkins that actually tell a story. Evan's (the far right) is an eyeball eating monster. Issa's (to Evan's left), just had its eyeballs eaten by Evan's. Daddy's (uncarved) is Issa's brain. And mine (far left) is the queen who is quite horrified by the scene:
Evan was very proud of his gruesome creation:
Issa was approproately horrified:
And we are all pretty proud of the final result:

A Little Early Halloween Fun

We started celebrating Halloween in earnest this weekend! The fun started Saturday night with a friend's Halloween party. Guests had been encouraged to come in costume, and we decided to be a family of pirates:

 We had much fun at the bonfire, and then Saturday we headed to Boo at the Zoo. (The picture of Issa above was actually taken there. Saturday night was not a good picture taking window for her.)

When we got there, each child was given a treat bag, and there were fun games to play for Halloween prizes at the entrance. We also had a ghost scavenger hunt throughout the zoo. We spent the rest of the day visiting animals and looking for the ghost cut outs.

I would not mess with this pirate princess:
 I would take my chances with the pirate prince, though:
 He doesn't really do scary:
 The Kid Zone at the zoo had some cool photo ops set up:

 But truly, we had the most fun with the animals. The weather was fabulous, and the animals were out and about. We finally got to watch the otters play:
 And we went to the aviary for the first time:
 We had such fun finding all the beautiful birds tucked in among the foliage:
 But the lions stole the show:
 They had cubs!
 We spent a long time watching the four cubs play:
 While Mama was in the thick of the playing, Daddy took a nap in the sun:
 They were so fun to watch:
They found a joint left over from lunch and tussled over that, and then they played stalk and pounce. It was adorable.

Every time we go to this zoo we see something new, and yesterday was no exception! Today, we are enjoying a day at home. The kids had the day off, and I decided to take it, too. Daddy is working, but he is working from the couch so all is well with the world!

Happy Early Birthday

Tomorrow is a very special day at our house: Daddy's birthday! Our plan was to celebrate tomorrow, but the kids had chosen their gifts last week and clearly waiting another 24 hours to give them to him was absolutely torture. So, they presented their gifts this morning: Mousetrap and an Angry Birds Jenga game. They put so much thought into these gifts. We have been playing more board games as a family, and they wanted to get Daddy some new ones. Issa remembered that he mentioned he loved Mousetrap as a kid, and Evan knew Daddy likes building, too. Such sweet children.

Tomorrow, he and I are going out for breakfast after we drop the kids off, and being the awesome Daddy that he is he wants to cook dinner with the kids for his birthday. We will make a Chinese feast and then probably play the new games.

And that is one of the many reasons I love this man. He doesn't choose to go out with friends or go to his favorite restaurant. What he wants for his birthday is to spend time with his family. Since it's Chinese, he will do the lion's share of the cooking. He will tuck kids into bed after extra snuggles because they will be all over him since his birthday--and he'll love it.

When we were 17, I couldn't have imagined the life we have now. We knew we would be together, but the crazy chaos we have created is better than I dreamed, and I am so very, very grateful that he chose me to be his partner in the everyday as well as the big stuff.

I love you, sweetheart. Here's to many happy returns on the day; 35 looks great on you.

Nervous Wreck

I'm a wreck this morning, even though my head knows I have no reason to be.

It's a bit of a big day at work. We have a guest lecturer coming in for a colloquium, and I recommended him. I heard him speak years ago as a very young teacher, and he absolutely changed the way I graded. I'm hoping he's as good as I remember!

Before he comes, we are having a reception for Teaching Fellows alumnae. By all accounts, it's an easy event for me. The Alumnae Office did all of the planning and detail work. I truly just have to show up. But I'm a wreck. I don't mind small talk and social functions like this in my personal life or even when I'm playing the good wife at one of Brad's events. I actually enjoy them. Going as the current director for a group of alumnae I don't know is making me queasy, though. It's not logical, but I'm dreading it.

It doesn't help that I won't get to see my kiddos tonight. Our new, fantabulous babysitter will get them off the bus and do all the running; Brad will be home to have dinner with them and tuck them in. Dinner is already in the crockpot, and I know they will have a great afternoon and evening. I just hate that I'm missing it for an event that has me on edge.

I try not to wish days away, but I'm kind of ready for this one to be over.

Just to keep it completely real here, I have a confession:

I have no idea what Issa's damn hermit crab's name is.

In my defense, we've been through a few hermit crabs, and  I do nothing with him anymore. Issa has been taking care of this one completely solo, and he is thriving. In fact, Brad pointed out that he's lasted longer and grown more than any crab to date; I think he was implying that perhaps I had fussed a couple other things to death in our house a la the initial series of betta fish. Aside from observing whatever cool hermit crab thing he is doing that Issa needs me to see right now, I have zero interaction with our crustacean family member.

Then this week, I realized I have completely forgotten the bugger's name. I know we had a couple of Hermes and then a Squirmy, and I feel like this might still be Tiny, but I also feel like Tiny might have been the last one. If it's not Tiny, I have no idea.

Now, I could just ask Issa, but I'm certain that would cause quite the rancor. And so...I'm hoping she just casually drops his name in conversation. However, I think she suspects I might not know because I asked how her crab was, and she worked very hard to not say his name.

Curse having smart kids and a horrible memory!

I Might Still Be Tired

Friday, I spent the day at the pumpkin patch with my littlest pumpkin:
 It was his first field trip of the year, and although I have gone on a pumpkin patch field trip every year for the past five years, this one took the cake. It was the best experience for the kids I have seen yet--lots of hands on exploration. I also learned that going with my son is very different than going with my daughter. This was my group for the day:
 They are the sweetest boys, but they wore me out! We started our day with a hay ride out to the big pumpkin patch. I had thought the patch was big, but it was the pumpkins that were big! They turned us loose to explore and climb. I just tried to keep up and keep track of my crew.

Then we played on the playground and had lunch, which was easy enough. It was a great little playground, complete with plenty of balls. But the highlight was the corn maze. Before we went in, each child was given a bag to collect three ears of corn. They were also told to get one stalk of sassafras and a sunflower. I am counting it a personal victory that I didn't lose anyone in the corn. There is nothing quite so terrifying as three little boys in brown shirts setting off into the stalks in search of corn; the path is clearly there for everyone else.

In a moment that is still making me chuckle, we tried to get a picture of the class with their sunflowers in front of the sunflower field after we left the maze:
It was like a Where's Waldo of kindergartners.

Then, we got to go feed the animals all that we had gathered:
 The goats were a highlight, but we also saw cows, horses, chickens, and pigs. It was great for the kids to see how the food was grown and then actually get to feed it to the animals! Once we were out of food, we picked our own pumpkins and then headed home. In short, it was a perfect field trip...with one tiny glitch:
That is a small sample of the patch I brought back in my shoes. When we were in the big patch, we had lined the kids up on the edge of the cornfield to take a picture. All the adults went into the patch to take said picture, and once we had snapped it I was the lead duck to get out. Unfortunately, that meant I discovered this particular part of the patch was essentially quick sand. Both feet went in deep and were firmly stuck. My only option was to pull my feet out of the shoes. Thankfully, another mom helped me dig them out, and I had a water bottle in my purse to give them a quick rinse after I dumped the mud out of them. It was hysterical. The boys were just beside themselves, and Evan earned some serious cool mom points because I laughed and just walked out of the patch in my socks. In fact, his buddy loudly declared I was a cool mom because I didn't scream. I'll take it.

Friday, October 17, 2014

This sums it up...

From Evan to his father last night:

"You messed with the dancer, now you have to deal with ninja." (Insert ninja ready position here and a look that would intimidating if he was taller than four feet.)

Dinner is never dull around here.

Thursday, October 16, 2014

I'm working from home most of today. I have meeting with some teachers at the kids' school mid-day to work on their accreditation report, and we have Issa's parent/teacher conference right after school. I will leave right from the conference to head to work and teach.

I will be forever grateful to have a job where I can do this. I will work late tonight grading to catch up, but I have the flexibility to be at the kids' schools when I need or want to be. In fact, it's highly encouraged and supported. That flexibility makes some of the other craziness so much more bearable...

A Glimpse Into Another World

Finally, the last of the weekend round up...

Friday, we attended what just might go down as the best school event in history. All four of us agree, which should tell you something.

The Latino PTSA hosted a Latino Cultural Festival, and let me tell you, they did it right. For one evening, even though we were in the same gym, I truly felt like I was in a different world. They had created activities for the kids about actual Latino culture--not the Anglo version you typically see. They had Day of the Dead activities and Carnivale activities and activities I couldn't completely place. They had fabulous music, live dancers, and an authentic taco truck. The event followed their cultural norms--including a focus on people rather than time--and all of the activities were conducted in Spanish. It was awesome.

Kids I knew that typically speak English to me were running up, excited to share their culture, in a frenzy of language I didn't speak. At times I felt so lost and overwhelmed, but every time I realized this is what so many families feel like every day. And while that certainly wasn't their intention, it was a great experience for me. I stretched a little bit, and I learned.  And although I couldn't translate, I understood those kiddos.

The kids just had plain fun. Brad and I learned so much, and it was fun to watch the evening unfold. I feel like we all grew a little bit--hearts just a little bit bigger. New connections were made. It was good.

On a side note: It was also the first time Evan has ditched us for his friends at a school event. I will admit my stomach hit the floor when he ditched me to sit with Allison during the dance show; so it begins.

A Quiet Moment

As promised, I am working my way backwards through our weekend. Saturday was a blur of activity. Issa had two birthday parties, Evan and Daddy had a date at the museum, we had friends over for dinner, and we camped out in the backyard. A blur. the midst of that chaos, I got an hour and half all to myself. Issa's second birthday party was of the drop off variety, and it was just far enough away that it really didn't make sense for me to drive all the way home when a coffee shop was much closer. So, once she was happily dropped off, I made my way to a coffee shop.

I'm reading a biography of Branwell Bronte right now, which I realize makes me one big nerd. It's a book I have been trying to get my hands on since undergrad, but it's very rare. Brad managed to snag me a copy at a used bookstore, and it will probably always be one of my very favorite gifts from him. It has that lovely old book smell, and the fact that he remembered that I wanted to read it is priceless. I'm truly enjoying it, but it's not an easy read by any stretch. Since my usual reading time is right before bed, I haven't been able to spend as much time with Branwell as I would like. But Saturday, I settled into a corner booth with a pumpkin spice latte, cinnamon scone, and Branwell. And for an hour and a half it was quiet and I was awake. It was lovely.

I love the hustle and bustle of our home. I love being Mom, and I love family time. But every once in a while, a little quiet is golden loveliness.

Pumpkin Patch Drizzle

I had fall break at the end of last week, which basically meant I caught up on everything I was behind on. But, this weekend was fabulous. I think I will tell the tale backwards, though.

Yesterday, we went to church and then headed straight to the pumpkin patch. It had been our plan all along, but the weather was not ideal. It was chilly and a little misty, but the patch assured us everything was up and running. We asked the kids what they wanted to do, and they were too excited to wait. After a picnic in the van, we headed in, beginning with the annual pumpkin measuring pictures:

The patch really did have most of the activities under tents, and the kids couldn't wait to jump in the corn crib:

Playing in corn is the thing they look forward to the most:

They were also excited to milk the "cow:"

We were terribly amused that this is still exciting considering they have spent the summer milking real goats. And they were still excited to feed these goats:
We then headed out for the tractor ride, but this year we decided to get off and do the corn maze. I'm not going to lie: I was really concerned for a minute that we were not getting out. It was one too many twists for this mama, but we made it! We even brought home some corn to add to the fall decorations:
Once we rode the tractor back to the patch, we had way too much fun choosing pumpkins. They planted a weird pumpkin patch this year, which was filled with over 20 varieties of odd pumpkins. The field was a muddy mess, and I was too focused on staying upright to snap any pictures. So...the grand reveal will have to wait until carving day. Daddy is most proud of his; it looks like a brain. Need I say more?

So...although the weather was not ideal, it did make the leaves pop and the maze seem a little spooky. I would say that it was one more great day at the pumpkin patch.

This Face

This face is why I get next to nothing accomplished in the evenings:

Yes, she fell asleep sitting up last night. As soon as I sit down with my computer to write, she snuggles up. And when 60 pounds worth of puppy wants to snuggle, you snuggle. She might drive me crazy, but she is also one of the two sweetest dogs I know. I think I'll keep her.

Seeing the Goal

The dojo has a cool tradition when students earn their yellow belts. As soon as they tie that yellow belt on, they embroider your name on a black belt and hang it in the dojo. As you train, you can see your black belt.

Couple that with the idea that we really wanted to display Evan's old belts, and this was born:
Evan chose to mount the bar he and Daddy made on the side of his bed. I then made all of the belts he will need to progress through out of ribbon. As he earns them, we we will use the ribbon to tie his belt onto the bar. His white belt is already there, and he couldn't be more proud. I've watched him count those ribbons over and over, and his eyes are definitely focused towards that black belt. I'm sure it will be quite the journey.

Hello, Fall!

We celebrated fall in a big way around our house this weekend. Saturday morning, we all spent time at the farm. It was almost chilly when we got there, and this may be my favorite time of year at the farm. The colors are beautiful, and we get to enjoy a plentiful harvest and the kind of work where you can tell where we've been. Brad and I weeded the new spinach bed and then cleaned out the raspberry patch for fall. We were both tired and sore, but you could certainly tell where we had been! The kids harvested and played with all of the animals. In short, it was a fabulous morning.

Our original plan was to decorate that afternoon, but a festive, live bat had moved in to our bonus room right above the decorations. We opted to wait until he left to venture in there, which I would say is the better part of valor. Saturday night, though, we headed out into the backyard for some camping. And no camping trip would be complete without hot dogs over a fire:
 It was a little chilly, but we dressed for the occasion:
 And Daddy built us a lovely fire to keep our toes toasty:
 And s'mores melty:
 Daddy is the best s'mores builder on the planet:
With full tummies, we all snuggled into the tent. We had taken sleeping bags and blankets, and we all slept snuggled up and warm. We each woke up once to snuggle a little deeper from the chill, and Evan woke up at 6:45 and had to go potty. At that point, we realized it was cold. Daddy took him in, and then promptly texted me to say they were not coming back out and he was putting coffee and cocoa on. At that point, I decided to check the weather and discovered it was 39 degrees. That is the best part of camping in the backyard--easy access to warmth! While Daddy made a hearty breakfast, the kids and I decorated. All was right with the world.

I love fall. I love how it brings out the snuggles and fires and cocoa. I love seeing pumpkins around the house and colors in the trees. And I love that our little family was able to really soak it all in this weekend.

Time to Make a Belt Display!

Yesterday was a big day at ninjitsu. To start, Evan received his intention stick:
 The stick above his head has his picture on it. There are longer sticks with each belt level leading all the way to black. By hanging it, Evan acknowledged his intention to work towards a black belt, and with each graduation he gets to move the stick closer.

And last night he also got to move it for the first time:
He is now officially a white with blue stripes belt--more conveniently known as a blueberry belt. He was so, so proud.

At the dojo, once you earn a yellow belt they embroider a black belt with your name and hang it on a belt display in the dojo. As you train, you can keep your eye on your black belt. Daddy has promised to build Evan a similar display for his room to hold his old belts. I promised to hang ribbons on it for each belt so he can track his progress and know what's next. He is really determined to become a black belt, and I am so grateful he has found something he loves so much.

One of the things in life that makes me want to get my power tools out and cause medieval-style harm are stories of animal cruelty.
Today the BBC reported the story of two PCs who were filmed by their concerned neighbours beating and torturing their two pet dogs, one of them a Rottweiler puppy. The vigilant neighbour had previously called the RSPCA on several occasions but they found 'no evidence' of cruelty. That was until she installed a camera overlooking the couple's yard and filmed hours if footage. The two shitheads were given fines, over 100 hours of community service and banned from keeping animals for 5 years.

Here at Hagley Road we could think of some rather more satisfying punishments for these two, but we'd have to bring them into the basement of Warwick Castle to do it properly.

Capitals NHL

The quest for Lord Stanley’s Cup kicks off tonight

The long grind that is the 82-game regular season schedule is now finished and one of the best playoffs year after year are set to begin tonight. For the first time ever, a Canadian-based team will not be competing for Lord Stanley’s Cup. On the flipside, all three California-based teams qualified for the playoffs. Can the Capitals overcome past playoff demons and finally get a Cup for Alex Ovechkin? Will the Pittsburgh Penguins hot play continue over the next couple of months? Which team will survive the extremely tough Western Conference? Can a team from the East challenge a team from the West? Will Chicago repeat as champs? Only time will tell, so as these playoffs progress, keep your razors in the cabinet, as playoff beards are a must this time of year and especially for this sport. Now, the new seeding format is a bit wacky, but, hey, at least it’s the playoffs, where the regular season is a thing of the past, to an extent.

I break down each first-round matchup and predict who will take one step closer to capturing Lord Stanley’s Cup.

Eastern Conference

Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers – Washington won the regular season series 2-0-2

WAS: 56-18-8, 1st in Metropolitan Division PHI: 41-27-14, Wild Card spot

The Capitals are out to prove the naysayers wrong and finally win a Stanley Cup. They ran rough shod over the NHL all season long, but that was the regular season and now it matters even more. Alex Ovechkin, who won the Art Ross trophy after scoring 50 goals on the season, is not going to rest until he wins that elusive Cup. It could be a case of now or never for the Caps, as this is the best team they have had since Ovechkin entered the league. Philly gritted their way to the playoffs in impressive fashion, finishing 6-3-1 and winning their last regular season game to get in. On paper, this looks like a cake walk for the Caps, but Philly will be tough. In the end, Braden Holtby – who tied Martin Broduer’s NHL single-season record for wins with 48 won’t allow Philly to the team that takes down the Caps. Washington is too tough and will continue their dominance. After all, they’ve had the Presidents’ Trophy wrapped up for the last two weeks.

Prediction: Capitals in 5                Game 1: Thursday in Washington

Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Rangers – Pittsburgh won the regular season series 3-0-1

PIT: 48-26-8, 2nd  in Metropolitan Division NYR: 49-27-9, 3rd in Metropolitan Division

The Penguins got off to a horrid start, but after a coaching change and the resurrection of superstar Sidney Crosby, this team is the hottest going into the playoffs. The biggest question mark for the Pens is the health of starting net minder Marc-Andre Fleury, who missed the last five games with a concussion. If he is able to get cleared, this series won’t last overly long. What will keep New York in the series is if their star net minder, Henrik Lundqvist, can keep the Pittsburgh offense at bay. If he is successful in this, the Rangers will make things plenty interesting. The Penguins have continued their hot play, despite not having Evgeni Malkin, who has been out since mid-March with an upper body injury and will miss a couple more weeks, at least. That won’t stop this team.

Prediction: Penguins in 6              Game 1: Wednesday in Pittsburgh

Florida Panthers vs New York Islanders – Florida won the regular season series 2-1-0

FLA: 47-26-9, 1st in Atlantic Division NYI: 45-27-10, 4th in Metropolitan Division

What an incredible season for the Florida Panthers, led by 44-year old, yes you read that correctly, Jaromir Jagr, who scored 27 goals and looks like he’s in his mid-20s. Roberto Luongo has been huge between the pipes. The Panthers will handle the Islanders – who will be good in a few years – and make up for not making the playoffs in 13 of the last 14 seasons.

Prediction: Panthers in 5              Game 1: Thursday in Florida

Tampa Bay Lightning vs Detroit Red Wings – Teams tied regular season series 2-2-0

TB: 46-31-5, 2nd in Atlantic Division, DET: 41-30-11, 3rd in Atlantic Division, Wild Card spot

The Red Wings are the San Antonio Spurs of the NHL after making the playoffs for a 25th-consecutive season. It might not have been pretty, but you don’t make the playoffs by looking the best. As long as you get in, which Detroit has obviously done, then that’s what really matters. Tampa Bay is hampered by injuries as their superstar player Steven Stamkos is out due to a blood clot and defensemen Anton Stralman, Tyler Johnson, Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedman are all either injured or banged up. What this series will come down to is goaltender play. If Jimmy Howard can be better than Ben Bishop, which will be no easy task, Detroit will advance. The team with the better goaltending will move on.

Prediction: Red Wings in 7           Game 1: Wednesday in Tampa Bay

Western Conference

Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild – Stars won the regular season 4-1-0

DAL: 50-23-9, 1st in Central Division and Western Conference MIN: 38-33-11, 5th in Central Division

Dallas is the leader of the pack in the Western Conference and in the scoring department. This team had no problems with Minnesota all season long, so don’t look for that trend to change. This might be the most unappealing first-round matchup. It will be very ugly for the Wild.

Prediction: Stars in 4                      Game 1: Thursday in Dallas

St. Louis Blues vs Chicago Blackhawks – St. Louis won regular seasons series 3-2-0

STL: 49-24-9, 2nd in Central Division and Western Conference CHI: 47-26-9, 3rd in Central Division and Western Conference

This will be the best series of the opening round of this year’s playoffs. Two high-powered team will duke it out to try and survive and advance right off the bat. You have to love that. St. Louis has been bounced from the playoffs in the first round in each of the last three seasons. The Blackhawks will look to make that a fourth straight year and attempt to win back-to-back Stanley Cups and their fourth since 2010. The Blackhawks are led by Patrick Kane, who won the Art Ross Trophy this season after leading the NHL in points with 106. This will be an absolute slugfest, but in the end, Chicago is too powerful and will live to defend their title to the second round. Sorry, St. Louis. Maybe next year?

Prediction: Blackhawks in 7         Game 1: Wednesday in St. Louis

Anaheim Ducks vs Nashville Predators – Nashville won the regular season series 2-1-0

ANA: 46-25-11, 1st in Pacific Division NAS: 41-27-14, 4th in Central Division, Wild Card Spot

Bad start? A thing of the past for the Ducks. They will make quick work of the Predators, who aren’t quite ready for playoff success. Anaheim leads the league in goals against average (2.32), power play percentage (23.4%) and penalty kill percentage (87.7). Too good for Nashville, who will steal one game and one alone.

Prediction: Ducks in 5                    Game 1: Friday in Anaheim

Los Angeles Kings vs San Jose Sharks – San Jose won the regular season series 2-1-0

LA: 48-28-6, 2nd in Pacific Division, SJ: 46-30-6, 3rd in Pacific Division

A California battle to try and advance in the playoffs. Los Angeles is looking to make up for not qualifying for the playoffs a season ago. San Jose is looking to prove they are a legitimate contender to the Cup and not just a paper contender. This will be another slugfest between two Western Conference power houses. The Sharks will put their 2.89 goals per game average to the test against the Kings, who were third in goals against average, allowing 2.34 per contest. These two teams don’t like each other and that makes this series even better. In the end, I’m smelling an “upset.”

Prediction: Sharks in 7                   Game 1: Thursday in Los Angeles

I sold my first piece of furniture yesterday and I am OVER THE MOON!  I put it on craig's list and within and hour I had an email saying she would pay me double if I met her half way to deliver it.  Well, Yeah!  Not a problem with that!  So I packed up the kids with snacks, video games and ipods and away we went.
even made a cute little tag so she can tell her friends how awesome of a job I did :-)
Bye little blue table.  Now on to the next project which I will post sometime tomorrow...
As always, Karie

  1. Congrats on your first sale! What cute tags.

    I am hosting a giveaway and I'd love it if you stopped by!

    Laura @ along for the ride

  2. Karie you did a great job on the painting, love the black table with the diamond pattern. Good luck!

  3. Way to go! I redo furniture too but have yet to be brave enough to sell it! Congrats and thanx for stopping by earlier!

Whew! I am glad it's a Friday with a long week-end. The boys are all gone to a baseball game and I opted to stay home. It's nice to have some really quiet time. I don't get that often.

I think I will find a nice comfy chair and rest like Sam is doing in this picture.

Sewing memories

Today would have been my brother's 58th birthday. He died when he was 54. I really miss him, especially this time of the year. He loved gardening and being outdoors. When I think of my brother, I also think of my mother. He was her favorite child. She loved us all, but he was special to her. Mama made all of our clothes when we were growing up. For my brother's graduation from high school, she made him a beautiful linen double breasted jacket. I can still remember that jacket. She also made all of his pants which brings us to our post for today.

I decided that I would make the boys shorts for this year. They are just too expensive in the stores when I can make a pair for less than $3. So, I went to Wal-Mart this morning and bought fabric. I bought some really cute fabric. It was a challenge because they did not have very many choices for little boys. I came home and in less than 1 hour, I had made 2 pair of shorts. The test will be to see if the boys will wear them!

  1. Susan, I think the shorts are precious. Did the boys like them? You are so talented.

Stupid Human Tricks

Dillweed IRS worker sneaks peeks at celebrity tax returns. Dillweed is now facing up to a year in jail and $250,000 in fines. Gee. Wonder if it was worth it... NOT.

Here's another Cincinnati resident to be proud of: Former morgue attendant charged for having sex with a corpse. There are just SO many wrong things about this story. First of all, HE SEXUALLY ABUSED A CORPSE! Second, the corpse was that of a woman who was brutally beaten and had her neck slashed. And finally, the man who was eventually convicted of her murder was also charged with raping her- a charge he vehemently denied. Turns out- he was telling the truth: the semen found on her body belonged to the morgue worker. Can you say "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"??????

Just before the school year ended, a teen boy was killed when a dump truck crossed the center line and hit the bus he was riding. This past week, a grand jury decided NOT TO CHARGE THE DRIVER WITH HIS DEATH. No negligent homicide, no vehicular homicide, no crossing the double line. NOTHING. OMG. I cannot believe this. I'm not saying I think the dump truck driver hit the bus on purpose, but JESUS H. CHRIST- he crossed the center line, hit a bus, and killed a boy! How can that NOT be ILLEGAL????

What are "orbs"?

So what are orbs? Unfortunately this phenomenon is largely misunderstood and misdiagnosed in the paranormal field. Sadly many in the field feel that every roundish ball of light on photo and/or video is an orb, more specifically an energy orb. Actual energy orbs have very distinct characteristics, such as omits its own light and moves with intelligence. There is even a debate over what an energy orb is. One side says its a spirit manifesting, while others believe its a simple byproduct of a haunting. MPRS falls into the latter ideology.

What many in the paranormal put up as evidence as being energy orbs are actually dust, moisture, or bugs. Of these, the only one that moves with intelligence is the bugs, because they're alive. Bugs are realitivly easy to decipher, their legs and/or wings generally are apparent when looked at closely. Dust orbs are easy to pick out due to their telltale concentric circles that are very evident, especially upon a closer inspection. Moisture orbs are similarly easy to distinguish from the other types of orbs by their marbled effect and their penchant for being colorful.

All in all, when viewing any evidence of an orb, check for concentric circles, colorful marbled effects, and legs/wings. All of those can be tossed out. Then, even with an energy orb, always take orb evidence with a grain of salt. MPRS always prefers to have some sort of colloberating evidence, such as an EVP, a noticeable EMF and/or temperature change, etc.

Thank you!

The Ghoul (Arabic Ghul) originates from Arabic folklore. Ghuls were said to belong to a diabolic class of the Jinn. They were female demons of the desert and graveyards, and were said to be the offspring of Ibilis, the Prince of Darkness. Ghuls were shape-shifters that could take the form of females. They would distract travellers in the desert and devour them. Ghuls were later anglicised and took the modern name "Ghoul".

For the record

The following section was part of the original article in this page but because of etymological errors, I've decided to put this in the notes section just for archival sake. The Ghast and Geist references have since been transferred to sections of their own. —Terra

A probable play on the words "ghoul" & "ghastly", the ghast is a character with its origins from the Dungeons And Dragons series. It is unlikely to have any mythological origins because there are no mythologic creatures called "ghasts". Ghouls are also creatures in Dungeons And Dragons, and of the same class as the ghast, albeit a less powerful one.
In FFI, there were no references to the "Ghast", but the creators of the game cooked up the term "Geist", a more powerful version of the Ghoul, akin to the DnD series. In FFIV however, the term "Ghast" was used.

In Norse mythology, it was believed that there would come a time whereby the gods of the world and their creations would be destroyed. Preceding this day of destruction, Earth would be subjected to various forms of catastrophes. The first of these catastrophes would be a triple winter with no summers. After which, the world would fall into barbarism and war. The sun and moon would be swallowed up, and the world would be left in darkness and despair.

Heimdall would sound his horn, signalling the start of the battle between the gods with their fallen warriors, and evils of the world. Odin would be slain by the wolf Fenrir. Eventually, the rest of the gods and evils would fall.

After the destruction of the earth, a new heaven and earth will emerge, and the new world would be one of eternal bliss and abundance.

My Thoughts on Technology and Jamaica: Why ITA says Checkered Stripes coming to Jamaican Taxis by March 2016

Thursday, December 10, 2015

Why ITA says Checkered Stripes coming to Jamaican Taxis by March 2016

I'm not particularly fond of the JUTC (Jamaica Urban Transit Company) buses, especially as they are so expensive.

Worse now that news has surfaced suggesting that the JUTC is planning to raise fares back to JA$120 for adults by January 2016 as noted in the article “JUTC fare returns to $120 in January”, published Friday, November 20, 2015, The Jamaica Observer.

So I’m quite pleased to announce that order is coming to my main travel alternative in Kingston, the Route Taxi. The ITA (Island Transport Authority) has decided that they all need to get stripes as reported in the article “New Colour-Code System Coming For Taxis”, Published Thursday December 10, 2015, The Jamaica Gleaner.

The stripes, which are 4 inches wide (what no metric??) is a new colour code that's set to come into effect at the end of March 2016. There will be no grace period and any Route or Hackney Taxi that doesn’t have the stripes will not be allowed to renew their licenses during the 2016 licensing period, which runs from Monday February 15th 2016 to Thursday March 31st 2016.

Specifically, the following stripes will apply to the following Taxis:

1.      Black and White checkered stripes for Route Taxis
2.      Black and Yellow checkered stripes for Hackney Taxis

Good to note here that Hackney Taxis are chartered Taxis; these stripes will make it super easy to differentiate the two types of taxis, instead of flagging down vehicles and wondering why they don’t wanna stop.

I'm assuming that these stripes will also glow iridescently in the dark, allowing anyone to identify them at night!! Best of all, it’ll prevent Taxis from running as either route or Chartered; they have to choose one and stick to it.

Any vehicle without stripes is an instant JA$30,000 fine as per the article “Transport Ministry Clarifies New Road Traffic Fines”, published June 23, 2014 By Chris Patterson, The Jamaica Gleaner.

Finally some order is coming to the chaos that is Jamaica's Taxi system. Now if they could also stipulate that they have built in GPS so that we can track their location on Google Maps that would be great as well!!

Author's note

I love Chinese WuXia movies since I was young, being a very avid fan of Louis Cha and Gu Long. I remember being stuck to the screens watching all the famous TV serials back in the 80s to the 90s. Still following them into the 2000s and up till now.

In addition, my love affair with Anime and Manga started when I was about 13, this was around the time my older sister started reading Japanese Manga. Since then I have not stop enjoying it. Before I knew it, Korean Manhwa and Chinese Manhua are now the bulk of my reading habits, I only read fantasy + action + martial arts genre. Like the WuXia serials I love so much :D

I am also an avid mmorpg player, with a huge amount of mmorpg (english + chinese) under my belt and counting.

For my novel, I want to add a flavor of each of these styles (WuXia, Manga, Manhua, Manhwa, mmorpg), there are of course certain systems that are established, rather similar to the world we live in.

Having chewed around a little, I decided to use the XianXia genre for my novel, however I won't set limits to many aspects of the stories, or have stereotypical hackandslashgrowstrongsoIcankillrevengechoptherootsetetcetc (try reading that :P )

Wait a minute! I am not trying to say my main character will not grow or become stronger. The old will remain, but it doesn't mean there won't be any new :D

But this is a live story, meaning it is not a foregone conclusion, the story is still being molded and developed. I have many notes on a finite (yes only God can make infinite) number of possibilities in the direction of how I want it to go, some times, I delete tens of chapters and rewrite them again, and even then I do some minor editing as well.

Of course there may be some typo or missing words, owing to this being a one man operation. So I ask and plea for my readers to give feedback on weird paragraphs, wrong spellings, grammatical errors or missing words. They will be edited asap.

In the meantime give this story a chance, the beginning few chapters are to set the foundations of what the world was like, not dictate its outcome.

But that's already getting too far ahead of myself, I will not want to be a spoiler for what is going to unfold :D

I hope I will not fail the expectations of the readers after all my bull :P (no its not bull).

In the meantime, there are more than a billion Chinese on planet earth, I cannot guarantee that the names or people written in this story do not bear any resemblance, hence I will like to announce the following:-

This is a fantasy fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
All credits are to be given to whomsoever is the creator and is not limited to product(s), terms, phrases, combination of words and etc, that is mentioned in this story. The author (me) do not have knowledge if a copyright exist for the above :D

Enjoy Reading

Toronto Beats Manitoba 5-4

WINNIPEG, MB – The Manitoba Moose have apparently lost the ability to figure out the best way to win hockey games. No matter how well they play, no matter how close they keep the score, they are in a slump and there is no reason to believe they will climb out of it anytime soon.

Sunday afternoon in front of a terrific crowd of 8,458 at MTS Centre, Kerby Rychel had two goals and an assist as he led the Toronto Marlies to a 5-4 win over the Moose. Despite plenty of good scoring chances and a pair of power play goals, the Moose lost their fifth straight game (0-4-1-0) and fell to 23-31-4-4, good enough for seventh in the American Hockey League’s Central Division.

It was Retro Jersey Day for the Moose as they looked resplendent in their old green and white IHL uniforms. Sadly, the new/old tops didn’t change the outcome. Although things started out pretty well.

At just 2:23 of the first period, Nelson Nogier scored his second goal of the season as Ryan Olsen drew his third assist of the year and the Moose had a 1-0 lead. Then after, after Toronto’s Mike Sislo tied it at 3:37, the Moose jumped ahead 2-1 as Brandon Tanev scored a power play goal at 15:38 from Brendan Lemieux and Scott Kosmachuk.

But Toronto wasn’t done. Brett Findlay tied the game for the visitors at 17:54 and the two teams went to the first intermission deadlocked at 2-2.

Toronto took the lead at 2:57 of the second period when Rychel scored his first of the game and 14th of the year, but the Moose tied it at 5:32 when captain Patrice Cormier scored his 11th of the season on the power play from Kevin Czuczman and Kyle Connor.

However, after being deadlocked 3-3 through the first 40 minutes, the Marlies took over in the third. William Wrenn scored at 7:00 to give Toronto a 4-3 lead, then Olsen scored his fifth of the year for the Moose at 10:08 to tied it up at four.

But Rychel scored his second of the game and 15th of the year at 12:25 and that held up as the winning goal.

Toronto outshot the Moose 28-27, 10-5 in the third period, when the Marlies played a high-tempo, urgent style. Toronto went one-for-three on the power play while the Moose were two-for-six. Both Antoine Bibeau for Toronto and Eric Comrie for Manitoba made 23 saves.

The Moose and Marlies will go at it again on Tuesday night at MTS Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.
