The Republican caucus system works, and the new electronic voting system works better than ever before.
It is important to remember that although the Republican Party limits the number of delegates to 4,000 that can represent the 2,300 precincts in the state, the number of delegates allocated per precinct is determined by the percent of registered voters who voted in the previous election.
In my precinct, we were allocated two state delegates, and although I was not one of them, that did not stop me from campaigning for my candidate, Dan Liljenquist, who spent his time prior to convention holding many, many town meetings so that he could meet directly with delegates (80 percent of which were new to the process) to make his case and answer questions. Without the caucus system, how could any candidate ever hope to force a primary election when running against a senator who has been in office for 36 years?
Also, it is important to keep in mind that there were not 4,000 delegates who were credentialed at the convention. Of those who did show up, not all of them voted, so that is hardly a weakness of the caucus system.

This is a retrospective review to evaluate the efficacy of femoral nerve block in providing analgesia following reconstructive surgery of the knee and to compare the postoperative course of patients who received femoral nerve block with a retrospective cohort who were cared for prior to the institution of a regional anesthesia program. The investigators hypothesize that femoral nerve blockade limits postoperative opioid needs, improves analgesia and facilitates discharge home when compared to intravenous opioid use following reconstructive knee surgery.

The Egnater Rebel 20 all tube guitar head is a born rule-breaker. This compact all-tube head has a bold voice that's anything but small and a host of innovative, user-friendly features that give you the power to shape your sound. Under the hood, the Rebel 20 boasts a full complement of tubes: 3 x 12AX7 Sovteks in the preamp, 2 x 6V6 and 2 x EL84 JJ power tubes. Egnater's signature TIGHT and BRIGHT voicing switches let you fine-tune the amp's response to suit any style. And our exclusive wide-range gain control takes you from sparkling clean to percussive crunch to a ferocious roar.
Egnater Rebel 20 Guitar Amplifier Head Features
Watts and Tube Mix Knobs
The scalable WATTS control takes the Rebel 20 anywhere from 1 to 20 watts, so you can dial in rich, responsive tube tone at any volume level. The watts control knob makes it easy to go from the studio to the stage. The professional-grade effects loop is designed to preserve every ounce of your precious tone. But the real star here is the revolutionary TUBE MIX control which blends American and British tone in real time with the twist of a knob. This knob lets you dial in the rich American tones of the 6V6 power tubes, the British-style bark and chime of the EL84s, or to blend them for an endless variety of sounds. So resist convention, buck authority and create your own signature tone with the Rebel 20.
Premier Guitar Review, December 2008
Like Egnater's ideas, the quality is also first class—it's built like a little tiny tank—and his team has earned a reputation for taking care of their customers and their business. Unless you're a one-amplifier kind of player, and you love that one above all others, it's very difficult for me to see any reason why you wouldn't go for one of these. This is paradigm-changing gear.

Contained Places
Louisa County is a county located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 33,153. The county seat is Louisa.
Prior to colonial settlement, the area comprising Louisa County was occupied by several indigenous peoples including the Tutelo, the Monacan, and the Manahoac peoples, who eventually fled to join the Cayuga Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) people in New York state under pressure from English settlers. Louisa County was established in 1742 from Hanover County. The county is named for Princess Louise of Great Britain, youngest daughter of King George II, and wife of King Frederick V of Denmark. Patrick Henry lived for some time in Louisa County on Roundabout Creek in 1764. Henry was being mentored at that time by the Louisa County magnate Thomas Johnson the representative of Louisa County in the House of Burgesses. In 1765, Patrick Henry won his first election to represent Louisa County in the House of Burgesses. At the end of the eighteenth century and in the early nineteenth century, numerous free mixed-race families migrated together from here to Kentucky, where neighbors began to identify them as Melungeon.
The Virginia Central Railroad was completed through Louisa County in 1838-1840. During the Civil War, it was an important supply line for the Confederate armies. As a result, several significant cavalry actions took place in the county, particularly one fought at Trevilians in 1864.
20th century to present
The Twin Oaks Community is one of the country's oldest secular communes, established by its first eight members in 1967. This was part of a national movement among numerous young people to "get back to the land" and live in more simple ways based in community. Louisa is also home to the Acorn Community, a rural, cooperative, income sharing community on about 80 acres, founded in 1993 by one of the founding member of Twin Oaks, Kat Kincade. Another newly forming community as of 2011 is the Living Energy Farm, a 'neo-Amish' farm, where no fossil fuels will be used but new technologies such as solar will be embraced. Louisa is becoming a hub of cooperative rural communities.
Lake Anna, a artificial lake, and the associated North Anna Nuclear Generating Station were built by Virginia Power in the 1970s. In recent years the predominantly rural county has grown because of retirees' settling near Lake Anna, and because of its convenient location for commuters. It is an hour's drive or less from Richmond, Fredericksburg and Charlottesville.
For a discussion and additional information on Louisa County history, see: Louisa County Historical Notes.
2011 earthquake
The U.S. Geological Survey reported that a magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit Virginia on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 1:51 PM EST. The quake occurred at an approximate depth of 3.7 miles and was centered in Louisa County (location at 37.944°N, 77.942°W), 5 miles SSW of Mineral and 38 miles NW of Richmond. According to Associated Press, "Shaking was felt at the White House and all over the East Coast, as far south as Charleston, S.C. Parts of the Pentagon, White House and Capitol were evacuated." It was also felt in parts of Canada.
Damage totals in Louisa County totaled over $70 million:

Gooch returns to Argyle rotation after latest ailment
ARGYLE — After seven long weeks of waiting to step on the mound, there was no uncertainty in the mind of Argyle senior Drew Gooch.
A few weeks of wondering how his left arm would recover from tendinitis turned into weeks of anticipation to get back to the place where he's excelled for Argyle for the last four years.
"I was pretty nervous at first," Gooch said. "But then once I started getting all the results and everything started to look good and it was just swelling, it looked a lot better for me and I was like, 'OK, I just need to get back now.'"
When the TCU signee returned to the middle of the diamond for the Eagles, he showed why he's played a huge part in Argyle's success since he was a freshman. Gooch probably will start one game of Argyle's Class 3A Region II quarterfinal series against Sanger (24-6-1). Game 1 of the best-of-three series is slated for 8 p.m. Friday at Ponder.
So far this season, Gooch has been nearly flawless for the Eagles (25-7-1). He boasts a 6-0 record and has a 0.43 ERA. In other words, in 32 1/3 innings, Gooch has allowed two earned runs — including a run that probably shouldn't have scored in Argyle's bi-district series against Bridgeport.
A lazy fly that fell in center field allowed a batter to reach and later score against the left-hander, slightly raising the impeccable ERA he's built throughout the season.
For the most part, Gooch has been impeccable from the time Argyle head coach Ricky Griffin started putting Gooch on the mound.
Gooch's first performance was a nonchalant win against Justin Northwest in a tournament during his freshman year. Gooch was called up later in the year to face Prosper in a win-or-go-home playoff game, and it was another nonchalant win for the youngster.
"I was just a little kid walking around with all the bigger kids, just trying to stay in the game," Gooch said.
Griffin started throwing him against the opposition's best pitcher, and Gooch kept delivering.
"We did that, and he just won," Griffin said. "We kept throwing him out there for the next series against their ace, and he'd win then. He's done that since we put him out there as a freshman."
Over the years, Gooch has developed a fastball to complement his curveball and changeup, the off-speed pitches that keep opposing hitters off balance. Griffin said Gooch can consistently get his fastball to about 86 or 87 mph, while his changeup can fool batters and come in around 75.
Griffin said his ace knows how to change speeds, which allows him to throw a changeup or curveball when he's behind in the count to a batter and the batter is expecting a fastball.
"To be able to throw off-speed [pitches] for strikes in that situation, that's probably his biggest weapon," Griffin said.
Last year, Gooch set the school records for strikeouts in a season (118) and career strikeouts (200) before he even threw a pitch as a senior. After he signed with the Horned Frogs in the fall, he came in looking to have another dominant year.
But those plans took a momentary setback when tendinitis in his left shoulder kept him out for most of the season. The lingering effects of the injury on his playing days at TCU started to creep into Gooch's mind.
It wasn't the first time that Gooch had come back from a serious injury. The summer after his stellar freshman debut, Gooch was playing with the Dallas Tigers select team. A simple infield fly and a clumsy first baseman that accidentally took Gooch down resulted in a tear of one of the posterior cruciate ligaments in his knees.
Gooch said he put on about roughly 40 pounds as he sat around during the summer. But he recovered then, too.
"Drew worked his tail off to get back," said Lynn Vanlandingham, Gooch's coach with the Tigers since he was 13. "The thing I remember most about it is even though he was hurt and he couldn't participate, he was still a part of the team, and that's just the character that the kid has.
"It's really easy to go out and watch him play and see he's a great player, but above and beyond that, he's a great kid and he's got tremendous character."
Argyle senior Parker Mushinski, one of Gooch's teammates with the Tigers and a Texas Tech signee, said he met his fellow lefty in eighth grade and it's been fun to watch him make opposing batters look silly over the years.
"It's awesome," Mushinksi said. "I know that if I don't have my best outing, he'll pick me up the next day. I haven't seen him have a bad day in a long time — knock on wood."

Also should i consider an implant to get a fuller breast look, i am currently a 10 E cup

Breast lift with no implants?
So, the changes of your breasts are normal and will continue to occur. The decision for a breast lift will be up to you...depending on how much you are bothered about the shape as well as your concerns. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon well-versed in breast surgery and s/he will assist you in deciding if a mastopexy will be the right decision for you. Thank you for your question! Hope that this helps. Best wishes for a wonderful result!
Breast Lift or Breast Lift with Implants
If you would like more volume or your breasts to be slightly larger or fuller, implants can be placed at the time of the lift. A full breast lift or a vertical lift may be appropriate. In general, you can achieve a higher tighter more durable result with the full breast lift.
Breast lift
You appear to be a good candidate for a breast lift procedure. You may even be a candidate for a vertical lift which would eliminate the inframamamry incision. I would have to see you in person to properly evaluate you.

Breast Lifting Candidate?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Based on your pictures and concerns, I think that you may be an excellent candidate for breast lifting surgery. Breast augmentation, should be considered only as you are not pleased with the size/fullness of the breasts.
Most young ladies considering breast lifting surgery are understandably concerned about the resulting scars. Most patients (If properly selected and who are doing the operations and the right time of their lives psychosocially) accept the scars associated with breast augmentation/breast lifting surgery as long as they are happy with the improvement in contour, size, and symmetry. This acceptance of the scars is the essential "trade-off" associated with many of the procedures we do in the field of plastic surgery.
When the time is right, seek consultation with board certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work. Communicate your goals clearly.
Best wishes.

Breasts Lift with No Implants
If you are content with your current breast size, then no implant should be considered. The amount of tissue removed during a lift is quite trivial--a tablespoon or two, so no real size change is expected. But the sagging breast can appear larger than the same breast restored to a better position.
If you lift on arm overhead, this will simulate a lift on that side. Most likely, that breast will appear to be smaller than the other, though obviously nothing has be removed. If the breast seems too small with the arms elevated, consider implants at the time of lifting.
Given the position of your areolae and nipples, chances are you will need to consider a vertical lift, with an incision around each areola and another from the 6 o'clock position down to the breast fold.
Thanks for your question, and for the photos attached. Best wishes.
Breasts Lift with No Implants
Thank you for your question and photos. Based on the photos you would be an excellent candidate for a vertical breast lift. This procedure is also called the lolipop lift due to the scar around the areola and in the midline of the inferior aspect of the breast. You can expect about an one half cup size decrease in size and a more youthful position of the nipple, I reccommend obtaining your goal weight before undergoing surgery. This is a key to achieving the long term results you desire. An implant will provide increased upper breast fullness. If you decide to have an implant placed, breast size can be controlled with the right implant and possible removal of some breast tissue. Good luck and i hope this helps.
Good candidate for a breast lift alone
Thank you for the question and the photos. If you are happy with your current breast size then a breast lift alone is a good procedure for you. A breast lift alone using a lollipop or circum-vertical breast lift will allow you to achieve a lifted breast shape with an incision around your areola and down your breast. Since tissue is not removed during a breast lift your overall breast volume should remain the same. A breast lift alone will not achieve a full upper pole so this is something to consider.
All the best,
Dr. Remus Repta
Breast Lift With or Without Implants
Good Morning and thank you for the photos. Based on your pictures I do believe that a breast lift would be an appropriate procedure to help restore your breast to a more youthful appearance. You raised a number of issues and I am happy to address each one.
If you were to lose 5 Kg (11 lbs) there is a possibility that your breasts will sag more. With this in mind, I recommend that my patients try to achieve the weight loss initially so that after a breast lift their breasts do not start to sag again.
The inverted-T lift will certainly address your breast ptosis (sag), however, I would lean more towards a Vertical Lift ('Lollipop') in your case. The addition of an implant will give you more fullness in the upper part of your breast which is something a breast lift alone is unlikely to accomplish.
I hope you find this information helpful and I wish you all the best with any future procedures!

A court here on Monday issued notice to an Investigating Officer of Delhi Police, probing the former Delhi minister Somnath Bharti's purported raid on some African residents last year, to remain present "in person" with final status report after he failed to turn up today.
Metropolitan Magistrate Chetna Singh on January 29 had asked Delhi Police IO to file status report, while refusing to order lodging of a separate FIR on a plea by another African woman seeking registration of a case against unknown persons.
However, it had asked Delhi Police that the Ugandan woman be made co-complainant in the first FIR lodged on January 19 as she was also "the victim" of the same incident.
When the IO did not turn up today with the status report, court directed him to remain present "in person" on August 2.
"An information was received that the IO is busy in some emergency duty… IO is directed to remain present before the court on the next date. Notice be issued to IO.
"IO is also directed to file the final report on August 2, without any further delay," the court said.
The FIR was lodged on court's direction after a Ugandan woman had approached it on January 18, 2014 seeking to file a criminal case against unknown persons.
Around five foreign women had recorded their statements before a magistrate in which they alleged that Bharti, the MLA from Malviya Nagar in south Delhi, had barged into their house along with his supporters on the intervening night of January 15-16, the court sources had said.
In the earlier application filed before the court, the foreign national had alleged that she and the other women were subjected to a cavity search during their medical examination at AIIMS and the then minister and his people had asked them in public to give urine samples.
Television footage on news channels had shown Bharti asking police officers to conduct the raid as he had received complaints of drugs and prostitution racket in that area.
Later, the second African woman had approached the court seeking registration of a separate FIR alleging she was also molested by the group.
On January 19, police had lodged an FIR against unknown persons under various sections of the IPC, including 153-A (promoting enmity between classes), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 354 (outraging modesty of women), 509 (uttering any word or making any gesture intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 147 (rioting) at the Malviya Nagar police station.
The second woman had claimed that the group had forcibly held her hands and took her out of the house along with her sisters who reside with her.

There is a game out there that is using the CS engine for multi platform games, which is fine, but I don't see any direct information stating that CS is Macintosh compliant (or programmable on a Mac) except on the main page as a whole...

KINGSHILL Football Club is launching a new U15s team for the 2014/15 season.
Building on the success of its mens' team, which were unbeaten winners of the Cirencester League and an expanding and successful youth set-up, Kingshill are keen to target the age group when many players drift away from both football and sport.
Trials for the new team, which in time should benefit the first XI, will be held at Kingshill School on Saturday June 7 and June 14 – and are open to all.
Registration for the trials is through the website at www.kingshillfc.co.uk.

|Best route at the crag and some of the best slab climbing I've done in Josh.
By Will S
From: Joshua Tree
Jan 20, 2011
|Great sustained slab edging on fine grained, polished rock through the bolts. Upper part is forgettable and the description Bob gives for the finish makes no sense at all, if you went 20' right you'd be WAY past the logical finish of this or Blues Brothers. Logical finish is a crack in shallow left facing dihedral almost directly above the last bolt, or finish as for Blue Bros to the bolted anchor past the pin (which is the only fixed pin we saw on the crag). Either way, best climbing on the crag.
By Bob Gaines
Jan 21, 2011
Hi Will. You're right, that description was confusing. The finish for Out of the Blue is pretty much straight up at the top, past the fixed pin. If you go straight up above the pin its 5.10, or you can move to the right a bit up to a ledge, then back left up to the top for an easier (5.9) finish.
The regular (line of the first ascent) or normal Blues Brothers finish actually goes left of this at the top, up a thin crack in a small left-facing corner, finishing about 15 or 20 feet left of the Out of the Blue finish (which is essentially the logical direct finish to Blues Brothers.)
I re-wrote the description to make it less confusing.

|Ahh, makes more sense now. We assumed Blue Bros finished using the pin, that's how we climbed it and it's more or less directly above the crack line, didn't know the original finish went left...now I get it.

The first book to examine the complex economic, social, and political effects of emigration on India, Diaspora, Development, and Democracy provides a conceptual framework for understanding the repercussions of international migration on migrants' home countries.
Devesh Kapur finds that migration has influenced India far beyond a simplistic "brain drain"--migration's impact greatly depends on who leaves and why. The book offers new methods and empirical evidence for measuring these traits and shows how data about these characteristics link to specific outcomes. For instance, the positive selection of Indian migrants through education has strengthened India's democracy by creating a political space for previously excluded social groups. Because older Indian elites have an exit option, they are less likely to resist the loss of political power at home. Education and training abroad has played an important role in facilitating the flow of expertise to India, integrating the country into the world economy, positively shaping how India is perceived, and changing traditional conceptions of citizenship. The book highlights a paradox--while international migration is a cause and consequence of globalization, its effects on countries of origin depend largely on factors internal to those countries.
A rich portrait of the Indian migrant community, Diaspora, Development, and Democracy explores the complex political and economic consequences of migration for the countries migrants leave behind.
"Kapur's innovative study examines the impact of international migration from India on Indian democracy and development. His analytical framework allows him to investigate how household decision making is affected among those considering emigration, how those left behind are affected, how the diaspora affects India from abroad, and how returning Indians make a difference."--Choice
"Kapur's [book] provide[s] a useful academic and analytical foil to easy generalizations about the influence of the Indian diaspora at home and abroad."--William Crawley, Asian Affairs
"[T]he value of this book is extraordinary because of the author's insightful and systematic analysis of the various aspects of the Indian diaspora."--Norio Kondo, Developing Economies
"Kapur makes a powerful case that international flows of people are shaping the world in ways with which we have yet to come to grips. Kapur artfully combines case studies, statistical analysis, and new surveys, from both India and the United States, to paint a fascinating picture of India's experience that is full of twists and surprises. He documents how the Indian diaspora has been a source, not just of remittances, but also of ideas, networks, influence, and even democratic stability. Emigration leaves a large footprint on the Indian polity and economy. But whether it produces good or ill effects, Kapur concludes, depends more on domestic structures than on global ones."--Dani Rodrik, Harvard University

1. New Years is a great time to reminisce about the past year, and also look forward to some of the fun things in the new year.
2. One of my New Year's resolutions will be to work out more consistently.
3. A New Year's resolution I've made in the past was to I really can't remember any of my New Year's resolutions, but I've probably made one to drink more water in the past.
4. (I made up my own question, since I didn't have a time consuming resolution in the past) What is your favorite memory from New Year's Eve? My parent's have vintage noise makers, so I always loved using them as soon as the ball dropped on Dick Clark's New Year's Eve special.
5. This year I will be spending New Year's Eve with my BF and some pals at a little get together I'm helping to host.
6. If I could wish one thing for my new year it would be for it to just be a better year than the past few years have been.
7. 2012 is going to be hopefully filled with a lot of positive changes!

Needing to add power injectors to older PoEs would ultimately increase costs, so the 1140 with full "n" performance over standard PoE and its "sleek" design will provide needed benefits, Lapham said.
The 802.11n speeds of 100Mbit/sec. will "open doors for mobility that didn't previously exist," he added. "As applications get more complex and require more throughput to function properly, the standard 802.11 a/g connectivity just isn't enough. With the number of wireless devices growing, it is imperative for the infrastructure to grow proportionally." Using 802.11n reduces the number of APs needed as well, since 'n' provides greater range, Lapham added.
Craig Mathias, an analyst at The Farpoint Group, said his laboratory testing showed that early 802.11n APs required nearly 13 watts of power to operate all the radios inside, which was above the 11 watts available under standard PoE. But power sequencing in the APs can overcome the problem, something that Siemens included in its 802.11n APs, Mathias noted.
Mathias predicted that vendors would come up with 802.11n products that use the same approach to standard PoE. Cisco deserves credit for making the correction to the 802.11n APs and has been "very, very competitive" in the AP space, he said, leading the field in enterprise and residential AP shipments. Competitors include Motorola, Aruba Networks, Hewlett-Packard and Trapeze Networks, he said.
Aside from PoE capabilities, however, Mathias said Cisco has built in the ability to use beam-forming technology in the M-Drive software to improve throughput for legacy 802.11a/g devices on the same network and to improve capacity and reduce coverage holes.

text: So far the comments here only increase my confusion (which as I say, is not bad because it means that I am learning something!). As a Haskell newbie, the first thing I learned about monads is that they have a type signature that creates a kind of mud you can't wash off. eg. f :: String -> MyMonad String By mentioning the monad, you get to use its special functions but as a hard price, you must return a value with a type signature that locks it within the monad (although you can remove the signature within other monads using "<-"). As some people have hinted, perhaps the problem is that most Haskell newbies are introduced to monads through the IO monad and other monads are different. When I plunged into Haskell earlier this year, I had no problem with understanding static typing, higher level functions and even separating pure functions from IO functions. The more I learn about monads, however, the less I understand them. I've seen plenty of comments suggesting that monads are easy to understand, but for me they are not.

Few could have guessed that when the promotional program began in Battle Creek, Michigan back in 1970 that it would still be going on at the end of the decade (and beyond).

U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Mark Begich (D-AK) and Congressman Don Young (R-AK) today jointly called on Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to do the right thing and approve a land exchange that would provide road access to an all-weather airport for the people of King Cove, Alaska.
After several requests, a group of King Cove residents met with Secretary Salazar on Thursday morning to talk about their efforts to win approval to construct a one-lane, gravel, non-commercial-use road through a small section of the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge to a nearby all-weather airport for use in medical emergencies.
"We have fought for safe, reliable transportation from our community to the Cold Bay Airport for decades," said Della Trumble, lifelong Aleut resident and spokeswoman for the King Cove (Native) Corporation and the Agdaagux Tribal Council. "A marine link cannot work in an environment of severe, stormy weather and rough seas. A simple road corridor is the only workable, long-term solution, and it would save lives."
Sen. Murkowski, the ranking Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has said she would use every tool available to her to win approval of the road, including blocking confirmation of Sally Jewel, who has been nominated to replace Salazar as Interior Secretary.
"This administration must put the health and safety of Alaskans above the inconvenience of migrating birds when deciding whether the land exchange is in the public interest. The decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to select a preferred alternative in its final environmental impact statement opposing the exchange is just the latest example of this attitude within the Department of the Interior that somehow Alaska needs to be protected from Alaskans," Murkowski said.
"The residents of King Cove deserve access to basic transportation for life and health needs that other Americans routinely take for granted," Sen. Begich said. "I commend Secretary Salazar for finally agreeing to a meeting today with residents of this community, who have been asking for the secretary's personal attention to this for years. I hope he was persuaded that a modest road to connect King Cove to the airport at Cold Bay is a reasonable and affordable alternative. I'll continue working with Secretary Salazar and his successor, if necessary, to provide these Alaskans this vital transportation link."
"I appreciate Secretary Salazar taking the time to meet with the representatives from King Cove today. He still has time to make the right decision, and I hope he took the time today to really listen to their concerns," Rep. Young said. "This is not a new issue, the residents of King Cove have been dealing with it for years, and enough is enough. The community of King Cove has worked with the Congress, the state of Alaska, and local Native corporations to find a suitable land exchange for all parties involved, and yet bureaucrats within the Department of Interior seem to continue to hold the safety and preservation of waterfowl above the lives of Alaskans. I hope that Secretary Salazar took to heart the message from King Cove, and in the coming days takes some time to reflect and make the right decision before he leaves office, and returns to private life."

One Answer Leads To Many Questions
Reads: 163 | Likes: 0 | Shelves: 0 | Comments: 1
Short Story by: SadisticTiger
A/N: I'm not very good at this quite yet. I'm still adapting; hope I not disappoint.
I am not the same as I was before~ I was rather a spoiled child. Who wants to be friends with someone who did not understood hard work and empathy for the unfortunate. I was not rich, nor was I poor, and it was enough for me to be a dependent fool.
Wherever I went, I brush off what my friends say, thinking to myself, 'it's not like those people are forever unhappy.' Boy, was I wrong; some of those unfortunate people I saw though puts on a happy smile, I could see in their eyes it was sadness, longing, and ignorance. Ignorance~ something that no one has that could match mine. I was being such a smart-mouth who in reality knew nothing of life.
I never knew that I was ignorant, at least until I met someone who was probably an orphan. She was around my age, and she looks nothing like me; she appears a skinny one, a pale skin damaged, skin marked, frail child.
"What is the common wealth life like?" I heard those first words come out of the child as she coughs. During that time, I only showed apathy to the peer, and only brag on about how nice it is to have a house, items that could suffice as satisfactory, and many more. I was stopped when she replies, "what are your values that requires no tangibility?" and I could not understand what she meant. Tangibility, what does that mean?
She probably knew that I could not figure the definition, and telling me, I could only utter hesitantly, "my parents." Even if my parents are visible, they were never around for me, and could only litter my room with toys, books, and accessories. The child laughs, "those parents of yours are human; they are not something invisible; they are physically seen," what an odd child she was to me. What does someone off the streets know about me.
"I know enough about you, child of the rich. You~ have many things that we the poor, will barely have in our lives. We only have our dreams and family, and since a dysfunctional family will wither out, only dreams remain," exactly how does a fourteen year old understand about this? What makes her as wise as the owls of the land; the elders.
Neither of us spoke, and I only look off, leaving her as she was. I never took much consideration of her words, and soon, it begins to haunt me. What are your values that requires no tangibility? That plays in my head several times an hour, and I was left being angered of such foolishness.
It was no foolishness, as I listen to how my tutor speak badly of the poor; I could see that they were not bad. He did not seem to me defending the "savages" as he calls them. "How pitiful those creatures are," I felt something clutch at my chest, a burning sensation inside me. What was this feeling? Guilt, sadness, empathy, no~ it can't possibly since I have been told the poor were depicted as "beasts."
If so, then why is that girl a more humanly child than we are? Why does she have the wise mind that few of us possess. Why does her feelings pertain to all rankings of life? My answer to which I have been contemplating on was soon answered when the child was seen by I, sitting on a chopped tree.
"Life is easily thrown and controlled yes?" She asks, and my only reaction that time was tilting my head; what does this child mean by that? Do I have as much right as calling her a child when she is the same age as I?
She said nothing for a few moments, and continues admiring the tree stump that no longer holds the log. I look at the stump, gazing at the sap that shines under the sun. "Do you know~ are you aware of how manipulative a life can be?" she asks, and I only trace circles with my foot on the soiled ground. Manipulative, what does she mean by manipulative. "Perhaps it's best you'd not answer; questions like these could not possibly be answered by the rich. You all say that I will not understand the outside reality of life; truth to be told, it is you who knows nothing of life." I was taken aback, a bit irritated at the girl's provocative speeches.
The non-addressed girl only sighs, as she touches the sap. I roll my eyes at her actions, and had impulsively said, "why do you act as if you know anything, when you never went to a school?" and she looks at me with those saddened eyes. Why is it that every person that I see living an unfortunate life has eyes that hold the opposite of happy.
Why is it that people say I am ignorant; I didn't know that they were living like this; locked away from the bright light of happiness, and concealed in darkness.
The child could only mutter a few words that I couldn't hear. Actually, I could hear a bit of incomprehensible words that the child says. I don't know what the child is thinking but then, I was met face to face with her.
"Dependent child, do you know the reason how I am still living?" I answered none, "the manipulative life I was raised to lead is so I can one day accomplish the dream I desire. Life isn't as easy as you believe, and the more you realize and accept it, the more you can accomplish life. I see since you are one who lives off luxury and vanity means that you will not live out in the reality world when bankruptcy comes. How does it feel to live the life of a rich, not having to do many jobs that can either be rewarding or dangerous? To not pull a muscle, you must enjoy listening to the pleading cries of the sad lives. Even you are manipulated by the life of a rich; no one is truly rich. Your parents and previous generations were poor themselves; they had to work until blood and sweat shows in their results. The money is NOT yours, it is theirs. You must fend for yourself eventually; that is what your parents would want you to do," the child coughs violently, as she hastily sat down to count the flowers that forms in a circle, surround the stump.
"My tasks in order to live and not be persecuted, is to avoid any wealth related object. That includes you; thanks to you, I have broken that contract; I cannot live here," she got up, and with a pat on my head, she walks away.
For months, I never got to see her, and the realization came to me that she will not return. The loneliness I began to feel suddenly affects my appetite, and my sleep. Why did I suddenly feel that; I didn't know why I was suddenly this way until years after I am currently aged nineteen, that I conclude that words affect more than the mind. The girl I met years ago taught me more than the luxury world; she taught me that there is no such thing as true wealth; even royalty must've gotten their wealth from somewhere.
How silly of me~ I begin to think of her constantly during my lessons. I can guarantee that my teacher was not pleased with me staring off into space, and should continue to focus on my education. I ask my tutor of why he thinks such negativity of the poor, and he answers with equal hate, "the very life of them disgusts me to the core. They are born slaves who cannot get their education anywhere other than the gossips they share amongst eachother. It's how life is; we are the masters, and they are the tools; we must use them as how we are believed to instruct them."
We continued our studies in silence, and I utter softly, 'you are wrong.'
There was news of an incident involving an epidemic. I was immediately along with the other children given a vaccination. The news written on paper then said on a small section, "two-hundred unknown low-ranks died of sickness," and I only sigh as I realize that perhaps the life we live really is that ignorant.
Two more years pass, and I am finally a full adult, and as I pass the graves of the buried, I caught sight of a picture of someone that looks familiar. Looking at it for some moments, I did not react when it it was that girl I met long ago.
She was someone who I knew few of, and yet carries many phrases in her pockets. Someone like her seems to not regret much about her loss of life; and yet, I know that she would've said, "everyone fears death. It's only those who are willing to go into death that sinned in your eyes," and many other so on, so forth.
Days later, a friend of mine wishes to accompany me to the graveyard, and as we went there, I once again meet the girl who I possess many respect towards. Setting the flowers down, I then say a few words to her, "rest in peace. You have lived a long compassionate life."
My friend, then asks, "who is this that you've come to pay respects to? Is she someone you love?" the question then comes into my thought, and I only laugh bittersweet-ly, replying, "a very good friend, like you."
We leave the cemetery with one last glance, never turning back afterwards. Perhaps I do love you; perhaps I don't; I respect you as much as the elders young deceased one.

Add Your Comments:
I really enjoyed reading your story and thought that it was very insightful. I have never been wealthy, and have struggled with poverty for as long as I can remember, and I'm glad that you decided to take a look at some of these issues.
It was an okay story. I hope this story perception does not make it sound offending to anyone; I thought I needed something that could help enhance a moral or something, so I used it. I went for the jugular.
Thank you for your nice comment. A simple praise is satisfactory. :)

Dear summer, please stay forever. Love, this hard cider sangria.
It's a casserole dish of hot mayo and it's a showstopper.
One of the easiest, cheesiest lasagnas out there.
You can make this dip with two ingredients. It's really easy, really good, and really... unpleasant-looking.
This is the rich, healthy-ish, and totally satisfying salad for people who think all homemade salads are meh.
Share the love (and a little bit of the work) with these potluck-ready recipes.
When the temperature spikes, and all you can think about it spending time outside, these sandwiches will be there for you.
Rules you need to know about how to attend and host a potluck dinner party.
Chicken corn soup is a potluck winner—it also freezes well, so you may want to double the batch.
Because overcooking can cause this comforting pudding to separate, take it out of the oven when it's still slightly wiggly in the center. Then give it a quick flash under the broiler to brown it.
These savory swirls are easy to prepare and taste best served warm.

Once upon a time, in startup-land, there lived some very frustrated venture capital partners.
Being hands-on, incubator-type VCs, they were often personally involved in helping their portfolio companies achieve the next stage of funding.
To do so, each of these busy gentlemen made regular visits to other VCs, shook hands, did lunch, downed cocktails, and held formal meetings up and down the coast. Once a week, the partners would meet to share information and help each other reach their respective goals. They would wrack their brains and memories pouring over spreadsheets, phone records and calendars to figure out who knew whom, when they last spoke and what was discussed.
It was unorganized at best.
So the partners tried out various popular CRM systems but nothing worked. They installed a variety of contact management systems too,
but again nothing answered their needs. Still at 'square one' the now very grumpy partners determined that the solution they needed wasn't a system that would merely track a single project to fruition, but a solution that would track every project and their entire networks. It was time to move beyond guesswork to a reliable and scalable system.
And of that need, Rexter was born.
Rexter CEO Andy Wilson was one of those exasperated partners. His network of over 3,000 contacts was impossible to manage even with his brilliant networking skills and detailed spreadsheets. With the help of CTO and co-founder, Danny Bouganim, and a team of leading scientists, they built Rexter: a system that would not only aggregate all of Andy's contacts in one place, but also measure the
strength of each relationship, log interaction history and track the progress of his many projects.
Thanks to those frustrated venture capitalists, now all professionals with large networks of contacts can have all the information they need at their fingertips, without the grumpiness. With Rexter's help, everyone can prevent important contacts from falling through the cracks and ensure their goals are achieved.
Less stress, more success!
*Please note - The Rexter product includes a patent-pending algorithm that effortlessly measures relationship strength per contact by analyzing your relationship activity, and translates this information so that you complete your projects faster and with a great deal less friction. It does not include frustration, inefficiency or reliance on memory; these 'add-ons' are not compatible with Rexter.

Filing a Contested Divorce in North Carolina
Filing an uncontested divorce in North Carolina can sometimes be handled successfully by the divorcing couple themselves, but filing a contested divorce in North Carolina requires an attorney. A divorce is considered to be "contested" when either one spouse does not agree with the grounds for the divorce, does not want the divorce or when the couple divorcing cannot agree on one or more terms of the divorce.
Divorce in North Carolina
In order to file for divorce in North Carolina, at least one spouse must be a resident of the state for a minimum of six months prior to the filing. Keeping in mind you should plan on speaking with a local family law attorney regarding your pending divorce plans, these are the two basic grounds for divorce in North Carolina:
- living separate and apart for at least one year with the intention of dissolving the marriage
- incurable insanity which has caused the husband and wife to live separate and apart for three years
Discuss with your attorney the implications of any marital misconduct that may have occurred, as these could be relevant in a contested divorce:
- adultery
- abandonment
- maliciously compelled to leave your home by your spouse
- indignities causing your life to be burdensome and intolerable (includes domestic violence)
- excessive drug or alcohol use
- willfully failing to financially provide for spouse or family
Contested Divorce
The spouse that files the Complaint for Divorce is called the Plaintiff. The other spouse becomes the Defendant. Paperwork that is filed by your attorney with the courts for a contested divorce includes the same forms as an uncontested divorce, with some additional forms and steps required. Both spouses will have to complete an Financial Affidavit, which will summarize for the courts all property owned, income earned, assets and debts that need to be dealt with as part of the divorce.
Completely uncooperative spouses can be compelled to provide information via a subpoena process. In the case of a divorce involving a spouse who cannot be, or does not want to be found your attorney can begin a "diligent search" process to locate your spouse.
- if the attorney's diligent search turns up no results, the Plaintiff can serve the Defendant with something called Notice of Service by Publication
- Plaintiff publishes the Summons in a newspaper in an area where it is possible the missing spouse is living
- This notice is published once each week for three consecutive weeks
- If still no results, Plaintiff files an Affidavit stating they completed this public notice process
The Defendant has 40 days in North Carolina to respond, if there is none then your attorney can continue with your divorce proceedings as though it were an uncontested divorce.
Contested Divorce Terms
During the negotiation process of a divorce, initially contested terms such as alimony, child support, child custody and property division can become uncontested if the spouses come to an agreement prior to a Judge making decisions for them.
Get Legal Advice Early
Whether you are planning to be the Plaintiff or are a Defendant in a contested divorce in North Carolina it is important to protect your rights and interests by hiring an experienced family law attorney to represent you. Your attorney can speak for you, negotiate on your behalf and help you achieve the most equitable post divorce arrangements that are possible.
