My name is Whitney Francis, and I am thrilled to be teaching kindergarten for Luckiamute Valley Charter School! I will also be working as the lower grade Intervention Specialist for my second year. I have been in the teaching field for over 20 years, graduating from George Fox University with my BS in Elementary Ed. Previously, I worked for Central School District as a kindergarten teacher for two years. I have taught grades K, 1, 5, and 6 throughout the state of Oregon.
When offered the job at LVCS, I was on cloud nine to say the least . What could be better than teaching at a school where children come first, families are fully vested in the community, the setting is enriching and hands-on learning awaits children the minute they step onto the property?
My husband Ron and I will be celebrating 22 years of marriage this August. He works for the Oregon Dept. of Transportation as a Wetland/Soil Scientist. We have three amazing children, ages 21, 17 & 11.
With my position at LVCS, I feel as if I have been offered a chance to come home to all that I remember as a child growing up and attending a small school setting in The Dalles, OR. When not teaching, I enjoy reading, camping, hiking, gardening, taking care of our menagerie of animals, tennis, dance and anything that has me moving and outdoors! I look forward to this year as an amazing experience and am pleased and honored to be working with your children.

Backdoor Comedy made its way into the Dallas comedy scene in a manner as modest and circuitous as its name might suggest. Before it reached its current intimate space downtown in the Doubletree Hotel, owners (and comics themselves) Jan Norton and Linda Stogner put together showcases in no fewer than nine other locations, including a deli, a bowling alley, and a feed store. Today, weekends see a large rotating cast of regulars and occasional drop-ins by celebrity guests who have included David Spade and Kathleen Madigan.
Whether she's snapping shots of Lil Wayne's sparkling grin, the urban landscape of Detroit, or the Arab American National Museum, photographer Asia Hamilton inspires people to view the world from a new perspective. Her photography raises awareness on issues of waste and consumption, and strives to unmask the beauty hidden in a cityscape.
When she's not on a globetrotting, eye-opening adventure, she's teaching aspiring photographers at her studio, Nozomi Live Photography & Design. She demystifies photography concepts such as lighting and composition before taking shutterbugs out on urban excursions, where they can practice techniques in the bustling city. She helps her protégés feel more comfortable using their cameras' manual settings, making the picture-snapping devices feel like an extension of their bodies without duct tape or cybernetic surgery.
Havana Social Club caters to smoke-savvy shoppers with a wide selection of fine cigars within an intimate, elegant lounge. Globe-traveling smokers can inhale their way through Latin America with rare stogies from Nicaragua, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, browsing high-end brands such as Ashton, Padron, Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, and Arturo Fuente ($10–$30) in search of the perfect tobacco tube. An in-house Cuban master cigar roller whips up fresh custom blends, and the knowledgeable staff aids puff-happy patrons in procuring their ideal smokable. Havana Social Club's Cuban lounge atmosphere encourages exhalation celebrations, and is peppered with leather-upholstered armchairs, dark wooden accents, private humidor lockers, and No Smoking signs.
Imagine the moment when a shy, introverted young girl steps in front of a room full of people for the first time and speaks with confidence and clarity. This is a regular occurrence at Drama Kids International, where experienced teachers use a unique, copyrighted curriculum to help shape and focus outgoing children or draw shy children out of their shells. Classes for kids as young as 3 refine speech techniques, dramatic movement, and imagination, giving them the confidence to perform in front of an audience or finally ask their parents to change their names to Thespis. For older kids, aged 12–18, Drama Kids International offers the DKI Acting Academy, where serious theater kids can expand their speaking, acting, and auditioning skills through exercises and performances.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. —
Imprisoned documents leaker Chelsea Manning says she'll go to court, if necessary, to receive treatment for gender identity disorder, also known as gender dysphoria.
The Private Manning Support Network published on its website Wednesday four letters signed by the Army private formerly known as Bradley Manning.
In one letter, Manning says defense attorney David Coombs is helping her seek treatment for gender dysphoria. The 25-year-old soldier says she wants to at least be allowed to live as a woman and receive hormone replacement therapy.
The military has said it does not provide treatment for gender dysphoria.
Manning is serving a 35-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for sending reams of classified information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks.
The Associated Press respects Manning's wish to identify as a female.

It is believed that Blanche Dumas was born on the island of Martinique in 1860 to a French father and a mother was a quadroon (one quarter black). At the age of 25 Blanche was visited and documented by Bechlinger of Para, Brazil and consequently added to the pages of Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine. According to Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine Blanche had a 'modified duplication of the lower body'.
She purportedly had a very broad pelvis, two imperfectly developed legs and a third leg attached to her coccygeus and, in addition to normal well developed breasts, she also had two smaller rudimentary breasts – complete with nipples – close together above her pubic area. Furthermore Blanche also had two vaginas and two well-developed vulvas and, allegedly, both had equally developed sensitivity. Her sexual appetite was said to be very pronounced. She was know to have many male admirers and was know to 'entertain' men with both her vaginas.
So pronounced was Blanche's libido that she eventually moved to Paris and became a courtesan.Also, upon hearing stories that a three legged man with dual genitalia named Juan Baptista dos Santos was in Paris on a European tour, she expressed a sincere desire to have sex with him. While there is no evidence that the two had illicit meetings, there is great rumor of a brief affair.
Excerpts of the above taken from the book Very Special People as well as Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine.

GO NATS's Comments
Posted Thursday October 04, 2012, About: Warriors shut Curry down early
Are you guys kidding? Where's the love! Bogut and Curry play 75 games-Warriors land number 7 slot in playoffs.
Posted Thursday August 02, 2012, About: GM dials up heat on Warriors
The Warriors are going to be improved if they stay healthy and better even if Curry and Bogot limp through this year. They have a nice core and will have another chance for vast improvement in two years when some of their big salaries go off the books and they can sign a legit star that will put them in playoff contention for the years to come. Patience.... we are moving in the right direction.
Posted Monday April 30, 2012, About: Pujols' at-bats getting worse, not better
Although I do believe the Angels made a huge mistake offering a long term contract to a player who is most likely starting a slow decline in his stardom, he is STILL a great ball player and at this point I would trust him when he says to look at the end of season numbers. This is baseball, you don't succeed all the time, slumps happen especially when pressing to impress a new fan base. Four years from now, he's a A-Rod type star with 'what used to be' stats, but now lets cut him a break.

Trafalgar PubFinally, an English pub in Wan Chai which serves a large selection of lagers, ales, stouts and the much loved pub grub.Walking around Wan Chai's nightlife district, you'd be forgiven for your perception that this area might be for the sleazy people, given that the number of strip bars there are and what not are overpowering the real and authentic bars and pubs who serves fine beer. However, with the new opening of the Trafalgar pub on Lockhart Road, Wan Chai is being straightened up. With a whopping 11 beers on taps and bottled beers including Spitfire Smooth, Thomas Hardy Vintage, Brewdog and Green Goblin Cider. So if you're a British beer lover, Trafalgar is a must visit pub. The management have tried hard to mimic that of the styles found in traditional pubs in the UK with green being the driving force with mahogany wooden fixtures, scattered tables and high stools. Two 120 inch projectors are also placed wisely within the venue to broadcast live sports. Situated on the 5th floor of The Broadway, you would assume to find a terrace here which you would be absolutely correct. Sizable with eight tables and hanging around space looking down over Lockhart Road. Great for the spring, summer and autumn months. Being an English Pub, Trafalgar also serves up what we know as pub grub which we all know we love but worry afterwards about it's cholesterol levels. Fear not though, because here at Trafalgar, they're cooking health consciously. Go for their fish and chips!

Here are some highlights of the many events taking place all weekend around Acadiana. For details on more events visit Acadiana365.com.
Acting Up (in Acadiana) is wrapping up the eleventh season of its Summer Youth Shakespeare Ensemble with its production of The Tempest. The young actors of tomorrow assume the roles of monsters, nymphs, and humans stranded on an island filled with magic, mischief, and mayhem. By the end of the play, the children learn about surviving adversity, loyalty, and forgiveness through the characters they play. Performances on July 19-20 and 26-27 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee performance on Sunday, July 21, at 2 p.m. at the Acadiana Center for the Arts, located at 101 W. Vermillion Road in downtown Lafayette. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased by calling (337) 233-7060 or by visiting www.acadianacenterforthearts.org.
This Saturday, the Acadiana Roller Girls headline a roller derby double header when they present their Summer School Smackdown.

Rok Haus Climbing Gym is hosting the 2013 Cajun Ninja Competition where anyone who wishes to test his or her Ninjutsu skills in a challenging obstacle course can enter for the chance to be crowned this year's Cajun Ninja. The layout of the obstacle course itself is being kept under wraps until the day of the event, though it promises to test competitors strength, speed, flexibility and endurance. There is a $10 fee to take part in the competition, but the event is free to spectators of any race, religion, creed or fighting style.
Lafayette's first ever Cajun Ninja Competition will take place on Sunday, July 21, starting at 2 p.m., at Rok Haus Climbing Gym, located at 109 Grand Ave. Competitors must arrive at 1 p.m. to sign-in, stretch and meet their competition. For more information find the event page on Facebook, and to register visit RokHaus.com.
MAR 7 Here's a great read on Mother Jones about Bobby Jindal and how his personal history has shaped the candidate. Again, the concept of personality and charisma (or a lack thereof) is raised, when Tim Murphy writes that Jindal has tried very hard but has "been eclipsed by a succession of shinier objects" like Rubio, Cruz and Christie. His real problem, former Gov. Buddy Roemer is quoted here as saying, is his ambition.
MAR 7 A Baton Rouge legislator is trying again to put the famous (or infamous) red light cameras to a public vote, this WBRZ story reports. One bill prefiled by Jeff Arnold would require voters to approve the money-making operations. Another would require that each ticket be served, instead of mailed, on the alleged violator.
MAR 7 Columnist Mark Moseley writes about "commentgate" in this post on the Lens, mostly to remind us that "we don't know jack squat" about what really happened. Sure, the scandal of federal prosecutors anonymously commenting on the Picayune's website about cases in their office brought down Jim Letten and all of his buds, but we still know virtually nothing about what really happened, and all the perpetrators have not been identified, Moseley argues.
MAR 7 Blogger Rod Dreher examines a recent poll that found Catholics sure like the new pope, but it's not having any effect on their behavior. He's a good guy and represents a positive change in their church, but it doesn't mean they're going to Mass more than they used to, Dreher tells us. Why is that? Dreher thinks it is because most American Catholics are just going to do what they want, regardless of who the pope is.
MAR 7 First it was a bunch of federal prosecutors, now an Arkansas judge. A political blogger outed a circuit judge as the same guy making nasty (and possibly racist, sexist and homophobic) comments on an LSU sports message board, the Picayune reports here. The judge, who was running for an appeals court seat up there, has ended his campaign and apologized. Not a good move for someone whose judgment affects people's lives.
MAR 7 To follow up on dad Don Briggs' recent splash in the headlines, here's a story that reads more like a letter to the editor by Gifford Briggs, vice president of LOGA, the group his dad heads up. It's time to stand up and support the poor, defenseless oil and gas industry, we're told. The "greedy trial lawyers" are trotted out, and we're urged to help him "change Louisiana."
MAR 7 Blogger Stephen Sabludowsky writes about the upcoming political spring in this post on Bayou Buzz. He's covering Jindal's agenda, education, this year's attempt to repeal creationism in public schools, and Bill Cassidy's Tea Party alignment, among other things.
MAR 7 Don't look for Bobby "I've got the job I want" Jindal to be in Louisiana this weekend. As this story in the Los Angeles Times reports, he'll be on the East Coast kissing bu--- er, pressing flesh at CPAC. If you want to see his speech, click here. The conservative love-fest will feature speeches from all the (current) 2016 GOP contenders, with Ted Cruz kicking it off and Sarah Palin wrapping it up. In between, the most anticipated speech is probably that of Chris Christie, the story reports. There's also a straw poll (Rand Paul won last year).
MAR 6 Here's some more new info on the continuing controversy at Louisiana College, this time posted on the Tennessean (so maybe this story is pretty interesting outside of Louisiana, too). The story, originally written by Town Talk reporters, tells us about a document with allegedly forged signatures which was sent to SACS, the organization which issues accreditation for southern universities and colleges. The plot thickens?
MAR 6 If you're on the Facebook, you've seen this video of two NOLA police officers line dancing with some Mardi Gras revelers. But this one is even better: it's a NOLA police horse line dancing on Bourbon Street. Hey -- this is Louisiana. We all can get down, if the situation calls for it.
MAR 6 In this week's post, Jim Brown is remembering former Gov. Jimmie Davis, who was sworn in 70 years ago this week. Included in here is the governor's recipe for raccoon, which was his favorite dish, Brown says. He also tells us who "Sunshine" was - Jimmie's palomino. She's buried at the late governor's farm, Brown says.
MAR 6 Columnist James Gill applies his special combination of wit and sarcasm to our friend Don Briggs in this post. Gill read the oil and gas leader's deposition and almost felt sorry for him -- almost. The problem seems to be related to Mr. Brigg's "stupendous ignorance of his purported area of expertise," Gill writes. He also credits Briggs with doing more for the environmental cause in a couple hours than tree-huggers can accomplish in years.

Brandi Glanville learned a lot going through her divorce from Eddie Cibrian after he cheated with LeAnn Rimes, and now she's sharing her wisdom with others. In the March issue of Glamour magazine, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, 40, gives her three tips for surviving the heartache of being a divorcee.
The outspoken Bravo star tells women it's OK to get some revenge. "I got a knife, and I went out to the garage. I just took it to both of his Harleys," she admits. "I hated those bikes -- my dad had almost died in a motorcycle accident. I had never wanted Eddie on them, because we had children. I slashed all of the tires, and it felt so good."
PHOTOS: Women who've been cheated on
Cibrian, 39, was caught having an affair with his "Northern Lights" co-star Rimes, 30, in early 2009. "Vanderpump Rules" star Scheana Marie, 27, also came forward shortly after, confessing that she, too, had a relationship with Cibrian while he was still married to Glanville.
Glanville and Cibrian divorced in September 2010 after nearly 10 years of marriage. They now share custody of sons Mason, 9, and Jake, 5. Glanville admits her co-parenting relationship with Rimes, whom he wed in April 2011, is rough.
"When I'm home alone on a holiday and LeAnn is tweeting pictures with my children, it breaks my heart," she says. But Glanville advises women not to "take the bait."
"Marriages break up all the time. People have affairs. Happens every day. It matters how you handle yourself after and if you're actually remorseful," she explains. "I've never found LeAnn to be remorseful. I found her to be like, 'Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, I got your family.'"
PHOTOS: Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes' road to romance
After drinking too much and crying all day, Glanville says, she woke up after she got a DUI and decided to stop feeling sorry for herself. "I said to myself, 'You know what, Brandi? You have a life to live. Why are you obsessing over these two people? You know Eddie loves your children. It's time to do you.'"

Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church made history twice Wednesday, electing the first pope from the Southern Hemisphere and the first Jesuit.
In choosing 76-year-old Cardinal Jorge Maria Bergoglio of Argentina, now Pope Francis, the College of Cardinals signaled the growing importance of Latin America, Africa and Asia in the church's fortunes.
But they also affirmed their commitment to traditional church doctrine.

In the world of fast fashion, two U.S.-based companies loom large: Forever 21 and American Apparel. Both are based in Los Angeles, but the two could not be more different.
American Apparel proudly boasts that the clothes it sells are "made in the USA." In contrast, Forever 21 subcontracts with factories all over the world.
Dov Charney, American Apparel's Canadian-American founder and CEO, has a reputation. "I knew from a very early age — in elementary school — that I was going to rub some people the wrong way," he says.

Tony Lithgow and Andrea Mayer have been living under a highway overpass in downtown Baltimore since last year. He's 49 and has been homeless on and off for eight years. She's 51 and has been homeless for 10 years.
Living on the streets has clearly taken a toll on the couple, both physically and mentally. While they're standing at a corner waiting for a free city bus to take them to a soup kitchen, Tony shouts at a passenger staring at them from a car stopped at the light.
"We're homeless!" he calls out to the man.
A difficult conversation about the military occurred today at a Senate panel on Capitol Hill. Victims of sexual assault testified that the military's criminal justice system is broken. They spoke of commanders who brushed aside their claims, prosecutors who decided not to pursue charges, and a military culture that protects predators. The hearing comes after a general's decision to overturn an officer's conviction on sexual assault. NPR's Tom Bowman has the story.

The lines are now starkly drawn between Republican and Democratic approaches to the nation's finances. President Obama met with House Republicans today about the budget - they released their budget plan yesterday - and in the other chamber today, Senate Democrats unveiled their proposals.
The Los Angeles Archdiocese has agreed to pay $10 million to settle a priest sex abuse case. The settlement is the first since documents detailing the involvement of high-ranking church officials — including Cardinal Roger Mahony — in moving and protecting abusive priests. Mahony was at the Vatican where he was one of the 115 cardinals who gathered to select the new pope.
And I'm Melissa Block. Chuck Hagel is freshly back this week from his first trip to Afghanistan as defense secretary. For the 66,000 American troops in Afghanistan, the distance that separates them from their Pentagon superiors can feel enormous. They received Hagel as one who has walked in their boots. NPR's David Welna was along on the trip.
Moving on now to the U.S. economy, there are several signals today that its chugging away at a healthy pace despite fiscal uncertainty in Washington. A report on retail sales finds them up more than expected, and two separate surveys reveal that top executives are feeling pretty good about the outlook for their businesses.

Testimony began today in a rape trail that has thrown a small Ohio town into the international spotlight. Two football players from Steubenville High School are accused of raping a 16-year-old girl during a night of partying last summer. Lawyers for the boys say the sex was consensual. The case has attracted widespread attention in part because of shocking photos, video and texts that circulated over the Internet.
Why, you might ask, would a hoity-toity medical institution like Johns Hopkins be offering up free Web-based consults for people with Parkinson's disease?
To prove that it works.

Want to know where you can't buy fresh, healthful food? The USDA has the map for you.
The feds' new Food Access Research Atlas lets you find out just where it's difficult to buy broccoli or bananas in counties across the U.S. Forget walking to the store in St. Louis, Minn., where most people live more than a mile from a grocery store. Ditto for Hyde, N.C., and Pushmataha, Okla.
The case has already been "tried" in the social media, as The New York Times writes.
But Wednesday in Steubenville, Ohio, a real court will be the setting as two high school football players in a town that's obsessed with high school football go on trial for the alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl last summer.
"Mitch Seavey scored one for the AARP-eligible crowd Tuesday night by becoming the oldest champion in Iditarod history," the Anchorage Daily News writes this morning.
According to Alaska Public Telecommunications, the 53-year-old Seavey crossed the finish line at 10:39 p.m. local time on Tuesday — 2:39 a.m. ET Wednesday. It has "checkpoint to checkpoint" coverage of the race posted here.

If aging is not for sissies, that's especially true if you're homeless. You can be on your feet for hours, or forced to sleep in the frigid cold or seriously ill with no place to go. But, increasingly, the nation's homeless population is getting older. By some estimates, more than half of single homeless adults are 47 or older.
And there's growing alarm about what this means — both for the aging homeless and for those who have to foot the bill. The cost to society, especially for health care and social services, could mushroom.

Control towers at many small and medium-sized airports around the country are set to shut down next month because of the across-the-board federal budget cuts. The towers have been operated under contract to the Federal Aviation Administration.

James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, went before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday in a bit of a sour mood. He led off complaining that he had to speak publicly at all.
"An open hearing on intelligence matters," Clapper said, "is a contradiction in terms." And then, before getting to any international problems Clapper hit a domestic one: the spending cuts mandated under the sequestration package.

Although he's been a public figure for three decades, the Rev. Al Sharpton is more visible these days than ever, often in ways even he wouldn't have dreamed when he was leading protests on the streets of New York in the 1980s.
If you watched the inauguration ceremony for President Barack Obama, you probably saw the dais behind him filled with the usual lot of past presidents, members of Congress and so on. You also may have caught sight of a new, and improbable, addition: Sharpton.

There's a new element at this year's South by Southwest Festival in Austin - a gaming expo. Austin is a good place for it. The city has strong ties to the video game industry and its home to an estimated 7,000 independent game developers.
Reporter Noah Nelson, of Turnstyle News and Youth Radio, went in search of the indie gaming scene.
Ailsa mentioned the House budget, and today, it was presented by a cohort of House Republicans led by Budget Committee Chairman and former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. The budget gives an indication of just how hard reaching a grand bargain will be. There's not a lot of overlap with the president's priorities, and it's almost an exact repeat of Ryan's budget from last year, right down to the title, "The Path to Prosperity." NPR congressional correspondent Tamara Keith tells us more.

A new national survey on gun ownership indicates that 37 percent of U.S. households have guns. The Pew Research Center looked further into who owns guns and why. They surveyed about 1,500 Americans last month and Michael Dimock, the Pew Center's director, joins me to talk about what they found. Michael, welcome back.
MICHAEL DIMOCK: Hi.
BLOCK: Let's look at that 37 percent number first. These are people who report having a gun in their household, a gun either owned by them or by someone else.
Like the famous cherry blossoms forecast to bloom in a few weeks, this time of year is also marked by the arrival of competing, partisan federal budget proposals that political foes immediately declare dead-on-arrival, though not so dead that they can't be used as campaign fodder.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) got the process underway Tuesday by introducing the House Republican budget for the coming fiscal year, DOA because it has no chance of getting through the Democratic Senate or to be signed by President Obama.
The Reverend Al Sharpton has moved from controversial street protester to a media activist with access to the president. Host Michel Martin talks with Corey Dade, NPR digital news correspondent, about his profile of 'The Rev.'
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's Chief Operating Officer, pushed buttons with her new book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead. In it, she advises young women to 'lean in' to their careers, and be more aggressive in pursuing leadership opportunities. Host Michel Martin asks the moms roundtable if they agree.

Update at 11:15 a.m. ET: Senate Passes Measure:
The Associated Press reports that the committee cast a 10-8 party-line vote, with all Republicans opposed, on the measure to expand a requirement of background checks for gun sales between private parties.
The Associated Press reports:
"The bill's sponsor, New York Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer, said the measure will reduce gun crimes, and said he hopes he can strike a compromise on the measure with Republicans, which would enhance the measure's chances of passing in the full Senate.

Tired? Surely those cookies will help. And a burger. Chips. And a cupcake. Yeah, soda, too.
People do eat more when they're short of sleep. And that impulse to snarf when sleepy can cause quick weight gain, according to a new study.
Since Americans are chronically sleep deprived, it's no wonder that our waistlines have been expanding. One-third of American workers say they're sleeping six or fewer hours a night, compared with the seven to nine hours recommended.

SONATA ARCTICA - New Album "Definitely Not A Back-To-The-Roots Album With Fast Power Metal"
20.03.2009 | Source: Bravewords.com
SONATA ARCTICA keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg checked in with the following update:
"Zapp-a !
Long time no news, right? I'm currently at home making rehearsal mixes for Marko and Tommy. So far we have about half of the record in shape, so we're missing some songs, as usual. In April we start recording and as before me and Tony are working at our home studios while the other guys records at more 'professional' studios, and by the end of May everything should be recorded and we're ready to mix and master. I know a lot of you are really eager to hear what the album sounds like and probably the speculations have already started on the forums, etc. I can only say that it's a bit darker and maybe not so complex as Unia. Nevertheless, it's definitely not a back-to-the-roots album with fast power-metal. All the trademark Sonata stuff is on there, solos, lots of singing some slower songs. Actually, I can hardly wait to hear how it turns out myself.
Next fall we start to tour again, it will once again be a massive effort and going all over the world... at least once. We'll be starting the world tour in.....shit, I can't say that yet. Anyway, there'll be a lot of new places and even more of places we've already been to.
My daughter thinks I should stop typing now and do something else, I agree. Until the next time."

(OFFER) Toddlers Shoes and Boys Boots (self.BabyExchange)
submitted 2 months ago by wujly
I have 3 pairs of shoes for a toddler (2 pair are brown and one is blue) sizes vary from 7W to 8W. I also have a pair of winter boots size 6 boys. I would like to send them to someone in the USA that could use them. All I ask is for the shipping to be paid - I think $10 would cover the shipping and packaging. The shoes have all been worn but they are in good condition. I can mail them after Christmas.
[–]olivine1010 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
I might be interested! Are they snow boots or rain boots? My son is currently in a size 5 or 6 but doesn't have any snow boots to go outside and play in the snow. I normally shop consignment and for some reason boy shoes are always really scarce... But I got a great snow suit for a couple of bucks!

They are snow boots.

Jan 3, 2014Mega Mall Story is one of Kairosoft's, IOS's best simulation games that can Hold a candle to Game Dev Story. Fans will instantly feel familiar with the basic gaming mechanics that we have all begun to love. Mega Mall Story has exstordiairy game play depth which is only seen in the best of titles. The usual graphics, funky music, addicting gameplay and sims will justify your money well spent.
Nov 29, 2012This game is amazing, one of the, if not, best game the ios has to offer. Its a near flawless game that is almost too addictive. Why are you bothering to read this, get this amazing game now!!!
Apr 4, 2012
Oct 31, 2011Again I would question whether this would still be as compelling the second time around, but I think there's still enough secret stuff hidden away to keep me coming back for a few months.
Sep 20, 2011Mega Mall Story's subject and style seem particularly suited to younger female casual gamers; after all, malls are considered the domain of teenage girls. But the game never feels like it's deliberately aiming for a female audience, which is to its credit. If a charming, happy, absorbing game about a mall appeals to you, Mega Mall Story is worth your time.
Sep 7, 2011A fun simulation game with cool graphics, and a enjoyable vibe. Being on the easy and short side, and lacking online leaderboards hurt it quite a lot. Still it is worth getting if you have enjoyed the other titles from Kairosoft.

James Gandolfini's Death: John Travolta Vows to Look After Family (Video)
The actor talks to "Good Morning America" about his late friend, who was there for him when his son died.
John Travolta shared his memories of his late friend James Gandolfini on Good Morning America on Thursday, June 20.
The two actors, who starred together in Get Shorty and the remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, were actually family friends, and Travolta said he may be partly responsible for the late Sopranos star's success.
PHOTOS: James Gandolfini's Life and Career in Pictures
"My father sold tires to his father," Travolta said.
"I was his inspiration to get into the business," he added. "He would see pictures of me on the wall from movies and he decided that he wanted to be an actor."
Gandolfini, 51, passed away Wednesday, June 19, in Italy.
STORY: 'Sopranos' Star James Gandolfini Dies at 51
Travolta said he will look after Gandolfini's family, including his teenage son, Michael, wife, Deborah Lin, and eight-month-old daughter, Liliana.
"My goal is to make sure that his family is OK," Travolta said. "His little boy, I watched him grow up, and his brand new little girl. We'll just make sure they're taken care of. That's the whole idea."
In fact, Gandolfini was there for Travolta's family after his son Jett died unexpectedly of a seizure.
"James went out of his way to come to Florida and he would not leave Florida until I was OK, or he felt that I would be fine," Travolta recalled. "After a week, I said, 'Jim you can really, you can, you know, we'll be fine. I've got a lot of support here.' But the idea that in our profession someone would go out of their way and not want to leave you until he felt you were OK, that's the kind of soul that James Gandolfini was."

AMA: Social Commerce Ready To Break Out
"We're starting to see a merging of ecommerce and social networking, on sites such as Yahoo! Shopping. This 'social commerce' is creating a new way to interact with customers," said Nancy Costopulos, chief marketing officer of the AMA, in a statement.
"But we have to be careful," she added. "Social networking sites have been successful because they allow for real connections to take place. The research shows an opportunity for marketers to participate, but they must have something real and relevant to say--if they try to go in with stealth tactics or over-hyping the brand, they will face a serious backlash."
Some 49 percent of all respondents said they would search for holiday gift ideas, find out about upcoming holiday sales, or download coupons if those activities were available through social networking sites, the AMA reported.
Some 29 percent said they would buy products on a social networking site if that service were available.
Still, across multiple product categories, respondents' top online resource for finding out about hot new holiday products will be search engines, the research concluded--with 43 percent selecting that as their top option.
Online consumer reviews were the first choice for hot product information in categories whose products involve a fair amount of consideration--automotive (17 percent), electronics (17 percent), and computers and software (15 percent).
The AMA released the research as a lead-in to its Mplanet event, which kicks off on Wednesday in Orlando. Conducted by the Opinion Research Corp., the survey consisted of online interviews with 1,098 Internet-representative U.S. consumers age 18 or older--527 of them men, 571 women.
