Top 13 Hottest Male Power Rangers

     Power Rangers has been on the air in America since the early 90's. Every girl wanted to be Kimberly or every girl wanted to be with Tommy. 

     Agree or disagree with my list. The choice is yours. 

Kardashian on Family Feud

    The episode we all been dying to see is finally here and it did not disappoint. 

    We finally know the secret to getting Kanye to smile; put him on Family Feud. Ain't never seen that boy smile so much. 

     So here's the breakdown; Mary Jane; Kris' mother is a big time fan of the show and because of that Steve put her on the show. 

      The family smacked talked to each other, but it was all in good fun. 

      Apparently Jalil's idea of slipping into something sexy to eat brunch. WTF, dude?

      Kendall don't want Donald Trump at her nude party. 

      Kim don't like locking their bedroom door. 

      The Kardashian's won the game, but Khloe and Kendall opted out of fast feud because of Kanye and Kim are bigger fans. 

      Kim thinks she's sexier than the people she works with and so does Kanye. 

      Kim knocks things over with her butt. 

     You can watch the episode on Hulu. Just click the link. Kardashian Feud

Pripyat, Ukraine

     Pripyat is a ghost town in northern Ukraine. It was named after the nearby Pripyat River. It was founded in 1970, to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. By the late 1970's the town had nearly 50,000 people. In April 1986, the town was evacuated after the Chernobyl Disaster.

Making Choices

     These are wise words from Cecily Herondale from Clockwork Princess or well technically Cassandra Clare since she did create the character.
     "I think," she said, choosing her words with care, "that any good impulse can be twisted into something evil. Look at the Magister. He does what he does because he hates the Shadowhunters, out of loyalty to his parents, who cared for him, and who was killed. It is not beyond the realm of understanding. And yet nothing excuses the result. I think when we make choices--for each choice is individual of the choices we have made before--we must examine not only our reasons for making them, but what result they will have, and whether good people will be hurt by our decisions."
     She then goes on to say, "Do not regret too much choices you have made in the past, Gabriel," she said, aware that she was using his Christian name, but not able to help it. "Only make the right ones in the future. We are ever capable of change and ever capable of being our better selves."
     FYI the girl in the photo is Alexandra Daddario, Matthew Daddario's sister who plays Alec Lightwood. Weird how I think she would be perfect for Cecily Herondale.

 

Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson Chorus Similarities

   

Ok, before I write anything else, let me clarify that I am a huge fan of Carrie Underwood and I also grew up listening to Jessica Simpson. I'm a fan of both, more so of Carrie than Jessica.
     So I just heard Carrie's new song and immediately Jessica Simpson's "Irresistible" song popped into my mind. A song I ain't heard in a long time. While they are two very different and awesome songs, it's the chorus music that sounds the same to me.
    While I don't think she meant to copy the music of Jessica's chorus, it just happens sometimes when you're trying to find music to fit the lyrics to your song. It's just like humans. There's so many of us throughout the years that facial features repeat itself.
     Listen for yourself. The videos are below.

Halloween Floral Arrangement

   I love doing these and I'll post the rest when I can, but this one has to be by far my favorite.

    I made a Christmas one awhile back. My mother has that one. I have a fall one, an Independence Day one, and an Easter one as well. 

    You will need: 

• A pot preferably black, but if not you can get cheap black paint and paint brushes at Walmart. 
• You will need filler, something like floral foam to hold your flowers in place.
• Black toppings. I used black dirt that I had left over from summer, but you can get black sand or rocks at a craft store. Dollar Tree carries sand in their craft section. 
• Black spiders or whatever creepy crawlies you prefer. Can't remember where I got the spiders. 
• Black bats which I got at the Dollar Tree.
• Black Raven which I got at the Dollar Tree.
• Black & purple flowers which I got at the Dollar Tree. 

     

Makeup organization Idea

     I got this idea from YouTube, but instead of sheet metal in a picture frame, I used a cookie sheet and placed it backwards and nailed it to the wall.

      Unique and different and yes I reckon I'm an LA Colors girl, lol. 

       Anyway, you will need:

• Cookie Sheet which you can find at your local Dollar Tree. 
• Magnets.
• Glue Gun.
• Nails.

Nail a hole in the top corners of the cookie sheet before nailing it to the wall and then glue magnets to the back of your makeup. 

Holland Island, Maryland.

     Holland Island is located in the Chesapeake Bay in Dorchester County, Maryland.
     Holland Island is a marshy rapidly eroding island that was once inhabited by watermen and farmers, but since been abandoned.
      Holland Island was originally settled in the 1600's, taking its name from early colonist Daniel Holland. By the 1850's, the first community of fishing and farming families developed on the island. By 1910, the island had about 360 residents.
      The island had 70 homes, stores, post office, school, church, community center, and a doctor.
      The Islanders supported themselves by dredging for oysters and fishing.
      The wind and tide began to erode the west side of the island, where most of the houses were located in 1914. This forced the Islanders to move inland. The last family left in 1918 when a tropical storm damaged the church. In October 2010, the last remaining house collapsed which was built in 1888.

 

I couldn't find a lot of photos. Most of 'em were of the last remaining house. The Island is disappearing into the ocean. The picture above of the graveyard is one of three. Two have disappeared into the ocean.  

Kolmanskop, Namibia Africa

   

 Pronounced "Cold-mans-shop".
     Is an abandoned ghost town which was built to keep up with the demands of diamonds and other rare resources. This town was built to house miners of valuable gemstones originally.
     After WW1, the town began to diminish and also hit by a windstorm.  

 Mining Manager's house.

Butugychag, Russia

     Pronounced "Boot-chuggy-chug"

     In Russia, there is an abandoned work camp in Gulag. It was basically like a death sentence if you were sent there.
     Local legends say it is cursed because they would find skulls and bones of humans and of animals. The animal would be furless.
      The whole valley is radioactive from the uranium and because of that, the average life span was only a few months.
      People say it is the final resting place of 380,000 people who worked there.

Ballarat, California 1890's

 

      One of most barren and ghost towns in the United States, located right next to Death Valley. It was built as a supply point for minter moving to Nevada to California. In 1897 it housed around 500 residents with several saloons and hotels. Ballarat was named after an Austrailian immigrant who proposed that it should be after the Australian gold town of Ballarat in Victoria. When the mines began to close, the town began to shut down.

     In 1960's, Charles Manison and his family moved into a ranch nearby.

     It is only access by a dirt road through the dry Mojave Desert. 

     There is only one resident in Ballarat.

 An old graveyard.

I got all my information from American Eye; A Youtube Channel.

6-Year Old Boys Dies From A Gunshot Wound

     A young Pennsylvania kid was killed by his older brother (10 Years Old) Wednesday morning. Apparently the boys were home alone. Really? OK, the mother was at work, but according to articles, she did have a live-in boyfriend. So where the hell was he? And second and most important question; the gun was registered in the mother's name, so why didn't see teach her kids about gun safety?  If she refused to do so, then the gun needed to be put in a locked safe. That's irresponsible.
     Also 10 year's old. He really should have known right from wrong, not to touch the gun.
     I remember my father's guns were mounted on the wall in the backroom. Though they wan't no 9MM's. Two were shotguns and the other was a BB Gun. I don't remember, but my mother told me that our father let me and my sister shoot them when we were younger. I mean he was standing right there beside us. We were fine. The guns were in the same room were we hung out in sometimes. We never once touched 'em. But unlike most kids, we knew what guns could do. Our father taught us that.
     He even trusted my sister enough. There was a snake on one our swing-sets and he told my sister to go get the gun, but apparently she must have ran into our mother on the way to the backroom, 'cause she came out with the instead.
     Teach your kids. Unfortunately the brother had to learn the devastating way the dangers of guns. Don't make that mistake. Take them to an gun expert to at least hear them out if you're unsure how to start. I'm sure they can help you with that conversation.
   

Shadowhunters-Of Men And Angels

Episode starts where it ended, Clary and Jace taking Luke to Magnus'.
Jace drives Luke's police car into a poll, lol.
Jace and Simon go find the stuff for Magnus to help Luke. And Jace gets annoyed at Simon and tells him basically he's hung-over Clary and a friend is all he's ever gonna be. Simon didn't like that, but Jace is so right. Simon pulls a knife on Jace and that really pisses off Jace.
So instead of Luke telling Clary about her father and everything, it is Magnus instead.
Alec arrives to help and by then Jace and Simon get there.
Simon walks in on Clary and Jace while they had a little moment, looking a bit jealous.
Isabelle is doing rune cards with her little brother Max, and then Maryse walks in to talk to Isabelle.
When Luke is able to, he finishes the story about Valentine and the backstory.
Alec stays with Magnus to help clean up and have drinks.
Clary shows Luke the box and tells her that it stands for Jonathan Christopher, her brother.
Where Hodge tells Clary about her unusual angelic powers its Luke instead when she puts the box down on a paper and it well...seeps through?
Clary thinks she knows where her mother hid the cup.

Letting Yourself Go

     It's one thing to let yourself go, physically. It's another thing to 'let go' of your fears, your inhibitions, and your jealousies.
     Today would be a terrific day to 'let yourself go' when it comes to the things you shouldn't be hanging on to.

Fabulosity: 365 Fabulous Thoughts For Women

Shadowhunters: Moo Shu To Go

     It opens up with Clary and Jace and Alec entering. Clary tells him about the necklace, that Valentine can speak to her through the necklace. Of course Alec takes the necklace and puts it away. Alec still don't like Clary. Isabelle comes and finds Clary and they talk about Alec and Joycelyn.
     In walks Isabelle's mother who don't exactly greet her daughter, but she does makes one hell of an entrance. The only one she actually smiles to is Jace, but Isabelle's not alone. Maryse don't warm up to Clary either.

     Clary draws a picture of Valentine and then rips it up.
     Scene cuts to Alec and Jace. Alec complaining he has to baby sit Jace's girlfriend. And then Alec brings up what happened at Magnus'. (Recall, they had to give up a memory).

     Simon goes to the vampire hotel. Raphael scares him away.
     Alec and Clary train while talking. Clary tells him she might be able to use the box that her mother takes out once a year to use to try to find Valentine. Then Magnus calls Alec.
     Alaric is with the werewolves without Luke. One of the pack wants Clary.
     Alec is right, what is the point of an invisibility rune without muting your phone? Though it is just her stalker friend.
     Jace and Isabelle go to Meilorne (still might not be spelling that right). But that ain't the only meeting happening. Valentine is also holding his own.
     Clary and Alec meet up with Simon and they take the back way. Simon moves with swiftness. He can also see the runes that are on the wall of the building. Alec questions Simon. Simon is able to break through a locked door. Alec finds the box that Clary mentions. Alaric kidnaps Clary. Oh, Jace is gonna be pissed.
     Jace receives a text from Alec. Yep, he's pissed.
     Simon asks why does he keeps getting kidnap and Clary tells him that its her everyone's after.
     Simon finds a phone and calls Jace.
     Luke appears and Clary is a bit jumpy. Jace knocks Luke out. Outside they are surrounded by wolves. Luke appears and takes down the alpha and becomes the new pack leader.
     Simon with Clary and Jace, drives Luke to Magnus' to get healed.

The Mortal Instruments-Music Challenge

The shadowhunters is one of my favorite sagas. Below are the songs that I think fit the characters. I can't wait to reveal my choice of Sebastian.

1. First up is the sarcastic, witty, tortured soul; Jace Herondale. I thought 'Angel with A Shotgun' by The Cars fit Jace just right.  Youtuber Styleslut created this video. 

     2. Next is Clary Fray. The daughter of Valentine Morganstern and Jace's love interest. She has red hair and green eyes. Clary was a tough to figure, but I finally found what I thought is the perfect song; "Warrior" by Beth Crowley. Youtuber ShadowOfHeaven created this video. 

      3.Alec Lightwood is an intelligent, serious, dark hair and blued shadowhunter who had a secret to hide, but eventually came out of the closet. He was pretty easy; 'Secrets' by One Republic. Youtuber Dana A created this video. 

      4. The beautiful Isabelle Lightwood. If her looks won't kill ya, her cooking will. I found that 'Me Too' by Meghan Trainer fit her perfectly. Youtuber Silly Unicorn created this video. 

      5. Simon Lewis. The geeky friend who is obsessed with Clary who follows her round like little lost puppy. Simon was easy, "Monsters" by Ruelle. Youtuber Fandoms Unlimited created this video.  

      6. The high warlock of Brookly; Magnus Bane and Alec's love interest. Magnus was so hard but I decided to go with "I want To Be Immortal" by Marina and the Diamonds. Youtuber Ichored created this video. 

      7. Malec. I mean, what's to say? I don't really agree, sorry. I found the perfect song to compliment them, "Secret Love Song" by Little Mix. Youtuber Emily McQueen created this video.

      8. Clace. Yes, I definitely ship 'em. "Don't Deserve You" by Plumb, I think fits their relationship. Youtuber TheSamSam110 created this video.

      9. Sizzy. Is proof that even geeks has a chance with a good looking girl...when Simon isn't obsessing over Clary. "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars is perfect. Youtuber Malechellyeah created this video.

       10. Valentine Morganstern. The evil Shadowhunter. "My Demons" by Starset is just perfect. Youtuber Vconersev created this video.

      11. Sebastian Morganstern aka Johnathan Christoper Morganstern who never really had a chance to be the shadowhunter, son, and brother he was suppose to be thanks to his father. For Sebastian the song I found which is so perfect is Paula Adbul's "Cold Hearted Snake". For Johnathan, I thought "Save Me" by Remy Zero is perfect. Use your imagination.  Youtuber Bronwin (and a bunch of numbers) created this lyric video (J.C. Morganstern). Youtuber Lilschoolgurl1980 created this lyric video (Sebastian Morganstern).

      12. Valentine and Clary. I thought "From The Love Of A Daughter" by Demi Lovato fit this father daughter duo perfect. Youtuber SocialCasualty created this lyric video.

     13. Clary and Luke. Clary's known Luke since she was a little girl and the perfect song is "He Didn't Have To Be" by Brad Paisley. Youtuber Denise Toibes created this lyric video.

      14. Valentine and Jocelyn. The parents of Clary and Johnathan. I found that "In the grove-Chimes at Midnight" is the perfect song. I have no idea who the artist is, but Youtuber XCrimsonVampireX created this video.

       15. Jocelyn and Luke. The only parental figures Clary has always known. I think "Let's Hurt Tonight" by One Republic fit their relationship. Youtuber SteffSpecialDirector created this video.

     16. Max Lightwood. A child who was killed by Sebastian Morganstern. "Gone Too Soon" by Daughtry is perfect. Youtuber TobiForMusic created this lyric video.

      17. Maia Roberts. OK, Maia was super easy. Non other than Shakira "She Wolf". Shakira posted the video to her Youtube channel.

       18. New York. Where the series takes place. The only New York song I know of is Taylor Swift's "Welcome To New York". Youtuber Lyrics Music Weekly created this lyric video.












      Note, I only did some of the popular characters.

Remains Of An Indian Village

By Al Purdy

Underfoot rotten boards, forest rubble, bones....

Animals were here after the plague,

after smallpox to make another ending;

for the tutelary gods of decay

acknowledge aid from any quarter...

Here the charging cotyledons of spring

press green forefingers

 on femurs, vertebrae, and delicate

 bellied skulls of children;

the moon's waylaid light does not shrink

from bone relics and other beauties of nature...

Death is certainly absent now, 

at least in the overwhelming sense

that it once walked at night in the village

and howled thru the mouths of dogs

But everything fades

and wavers into something else,

the seasonal cycle and the planet's rhythm

vary imperceptibly into the other; 

spirits of the dead have vanished,

only great trees remain,

and the birth certificate of cedars

specifies no memory of a village...

(And I have seen myself fade

from a woman's eyes

while I was standing there,

and the earth was aware of me no longer_)

But I come here as part of the process 

In the pale morning light,

thinking what has been thought by no one

for years of their absence, 

in some way continuing them

And I observe the children's shadows

running in this green light from a 

distant star

into the near forest_

wood violets and trilliums of 

a hundred years ago

blooming and vanishing_

the villages of the brown people

toppling and returning_

What moves and lives 

occupying the same space,

what touches what touched them

owes them...

Standing knee-deep in the joined earth

of their weightless bones,

in the archaeological sunlight,

the trembling voltage of summer,

in the sunken reservoirs of rain,

standing waist-deep in the criss-cross

rivers of shadows,

in the village of nightfall, 

the hunters silent and women

bending over dark fires,

I hear their broken consonants...

Demon Hurricane

 

 By now we all heard about Hurricane Matthew bearing down. People have already been killed and who knows how many animals too. And let's not forget the homeless people. The damage is starting to stack up.  
     But how many of y'all have seen the image of a skeleton demon in the satellite image? Maybe the coloring might have something to do with how the image came to be or it's literally a demon controlling the storm and having a blast?
     I do pray for these people and animals and hopefully, they will be as safe as can be.
   

Frozen Berry Souffle

With just a few ingredients, this tangy frozen dessert will leave you wanting seconds.

This is a picture I got from the internet. 

You will need: 

1. Ramekins (I was lucky and found mine at the Dollar Tree.)
2. Box of raspberry gelatin 3 oz. or 85 g (I got 2 boxes.)
3. 1 cup of water 
4. Frozen mixed berries (I'm allergic to strawberries and was lucky to find a bag of raspberries and blackberries) 1 1/2 cups
5. Plain Yogurt 1/2 (but I just added the whole thing. I used the Yoplait Raspberry flavor)
6. Whipped cream 1/2 cup
7. Fresh raspberries, for garnish

1. The recipe calls to add parchment paper to circle the inside of the cups which I didn't do, but it still came out just fine without. In a pan boil your water completely before adding your gelatin and then stir until jelly is dissolved. I added one cup of cold water as the gelatin box says and only one. And then add your bag of berries (I added the whole bag, so that's why I needed the second gelatin.) Stir until it starts to thicken. It might take a bit of time 'fore it does, but keep a check on it. Be patient, it will thicken. 

2. When it finally thickens add your yogurt. and let it chill for 20 minutes until it sets.

3. Beat whipped cream in a bowl until it stiffens. I just used a whisk. Fold into berry mixture. (but I ended up mixing it in. (still came out just fine)

4. Freeze for 2 hours. Remove parchment paper if you used it after it freezes.

5. ENJOY.

Option: Garnish with raspberries (or whatever your favorite berry) and whipped cream.

Note: The whipped cream will give it a bit of sweet taste to this tangy dessert. So in honesty, if you can't deal with tangy desserts, then this is not for you. I thought it was super delicious. This was my first souffle.

`

This is my picture I took of the dessert.

 And this is what a ramekin looks like. 

Cheese Burger Pizza

Just when you thought pizza couldn't get any better. Like pizza, like cheeseburgers? Can't decide on which one? Why not combine the two. I absolutely loved this. It was delicious. I found the recipe in a Campbell's cookbook so I can't take the credit.
I couldn't find the picture like they have in the cookbook. So this is the picture that I took.





You will need:

1. 2 packages of refrigerated biscuits (7 and 1/2 ounces each)
2. 3/4 pound of ground beef (but really I just stuck the whole package in the pan)
3. 1/2 chopped onion (i used the frozen diced onions you can get in the freezer section at your local grocery store)
4. 1 can of Campbell's condensed cheddar cheese soup/sauce (11 ounces) (didn't use it 'cause it made me sick when I used it before)
5. 1 can of tomatoes (8 ounces) (I used the diced.)
6. 2 tablespoons of sliced green onion (didn't add this 'cause not really an onion fan)
7. 2 teaspoons prepared mustard (didn't add this either)
8. 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (didn't add this either)
9. 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (2 ounces) I used the shredded mild cheddar 'cause you put yellow cheese on a cheeseburger. It makes more sense.)
10. Optional: More onions (sliced onions to add on the very top as a garnish, Pickles of your choice, and last ketchup and mustard. (Didn't add the mustard 'cause I'm not a fan. 

1. Preheat oven to 400F (I opted for 350 which is what I always bake on.) You'll want to butter your 12-inch round baking (didn't have one so I just used my square baking pan) or pizza pan. You have to pinch the edges of the biscuits together to seal 'em. Bake for 10 minutes. It's just a pre-cook and you'll see why in #3.

2. But until then while your biscuits are in the oven in a skillet (or I used a pan 'cause I didn't have a skillet). Medium heat. Cook the beef and chopped onions together until brown and tender. Spoon off fat. Stir in the #4 through #8. (But if you did what I did the only thing to add is #5.) You just heat that right up. 

3. Spread the beef mixture over the biscuits. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 5 minutes so the biscuits can brown and cheese can melt. Garnish with whatever you like on your cheeseburger. (I just used ketchup and pickles.) ENJOY. 

Note: I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but it still came out fanatically.
