Two third-grade classes at St. Patrick Catholic School raised $160 selling coffee and doughnuts, and on Tuesday Carolyn Othieno asked the students how they'd like it spent.
There were plenty of choices.
The schoolchildren at St. Jude School in Rubongi, Uganda, need everything. They have no school supplies. They need clean water, school uniforms, shoes, tuition.
The Tacoma kids decided to buy food for the once-a-week lunch program at St. Jude, and Othieno took a tiny calculator from her purse.
"That will buy 533 plates of food," she said. "There are 500 children in the school, so you've bought everyone there a lunch!"
For the children at St. Patrick and a growing group of Pierce County schools, there's a certain pride in impacting the lives of children so far away.
Othieno and her nonprofit group, Circle of Friends In Action, try to bring those kids closer.
"We've started a pen-pal program in four schools — St. Patrick, Concordia Lutheran, Annie Wright and Bellarmine Prep — and have 200 children involved in letter-writing," Othieno said.
"We realized there were lessons our children could learn from the situation in my village," she said. "They could make a difference in other lives, become aware of what is happening in the world, become global citizens."
Circle of Friends was formed a year and half ago by a group of 10 mothers, each inspired by Othieno and her story.
Now 37 and finishing a master's degree in world health from the University of Washington, Othieno left Uganda as a 25-year-old. She grew up a child of Rubongi, living in poverty she called "unimaginable."
"People talk about those who subsist on $2 a day, but there were families — including mine — who often went months without a penny," she said. "We lived in homes without plumbing or electricity, slept on dirt floors under a roof that leaked. We didn't eat every day.
"I desperately wanted an education, but school cost money, about $10 a quarter," she said. "I'd go to school for three weeks, then get thrown out because we couldn't pay."
Friends would slip Othieno their class notes, and she would stay up at night reading them by the light of a tiny can with a flame lit by lighter fluid. Meals consisted of corn, beans, rice — whatever they could grow or trade for.
Always, money stood in her path toward education.
"There's a national test after high school in Uganda, and it cost $10," Othieno said. "I wanted to go to college, but we didn't have money for that test."
Walking through the village, Othieno met a woman whose son Othieno had once tutored in math. The boy had died, and the mother wanted to pay for Othieno's test.
She took it and won a scholarship. That turned into a business degree. A job with the YMCA sent her to the United States. Eventually, she wound up in Tacoma, where her older sister lived.
Othieno landed with Washington Mutual and was in bank administration when the bank folded in 2009. The money she earned there allowed her to buy property in Uganda, build her mother a home and get all three younger brothers through college.
"What I wanted to do then was impact the community there," Othieno said. "I started sending money for kids who couldn't afford to go to school, and some of them wound up living with my mother. She loved that."
Seven years ago, Othieno married Eric Rader. Six years ago, they had a son, Zimmie.
When she told her life story to attorney Amanda O'Halloran, she found an ally who wanted to help the children of Rubongi. Soon, there were eight other mothers and a nonprofit group.
"We've started from the ground up, we don't have a website yet," said Julie Ammann, one of the directors. "Carolyn's story is special. I wanted to help. At least we're on Facebook now."
"All funds raised go directly to the children," O'Halloran said.
A growing number of people and organizations are finding and helping the group. One child contributed money he got from the tooth fairy.
On Tuesday, the Sound View Little League donated boxes of baseball caps, uniforms and equipment. It will be sent, along with a shipping container full of donated school supplies.
Do the children of St. Jude play baseball?
"Not yet," Othieno said, "but they will learn."
Donations for St. Jude's Primary School are accepted in person or by mail. Checks can be made to Circle of Friends in Action, or COFIA, and mailed to or dropped off at: Columbia Bank, 2200 N. 30th St., Tacoma WA 98403.

Pro-Tec S.I. Back Belt
http://www.skymall.com/pro-tec-s.i.-back-belt/30761.htmlAdditional Information
This sacroiliac belt is recommended by medical professionals. Sitting or standing for long periods of time can often cause sacroiliac joint syndrome (the strain or tearing of the S.I. joint ligaments), which you may call lower back pain. The ingenuity of this wraparound lower back support is a removable pad that provides compression right on your sacroiliac joint, the connection between your tailbone (sacrum) and pelvic bone (ilium), so the hips and sacrum become more stable, releasing muscle tension and reducing pain-causing strain to the lower back. Adjustable tension straps let you customize the compression on your S.I. joint. Thanks to strategically placed non-slip silicone gel strips, the contoured, low-profile belt stays in place and you can comfortably wear it all day under clothing.

The Farm Pt.2
True Story, Consensual Sex, First Time, Romance, Teen Female/Teen Female, Virginity
Author's infos
Gender: Male Age: Secret Location: N/A
Posted: 2010-04-06
The following story is completely true, the only things that have been changed are names and locations.
Chapter 3 - New Neighbors:
When the Taylor family moved on to our farm I had already prepared a house for them to live in, from the information I had gotten from my father I learned that they only had one child, a daughter who was 16. I was excited not only to have new people to talk to but also another teenager with whom to communicate. I hated to admit it but I had kind of forgotten how to communicate with other people because of our solitude, but I was excited nonetheless.
The day the Taylor's moved in I had woken up early to get my chores out of the way so that I could get to meet them. They arrived in a late model Sedan that was a kind of faded blue color. The parents got out of the car first: Amy the 41 year old mother, and Frank her husband who was 43. I quickly greeted them but I was more excited to meet their daughter. When she got out of the car I was slightly disappointed, she was very plain, very unlike the smoking hot girls I had known in high school. I went to greet her and learned her name was Betty. Betty had light brown hair in two pigtails and the area around her nose was freckled, she had barely a B cup and her ass was flat, but I figured that it was better than nothing.
My father went to show the two other adults their new house and I gave Betty a tour of our farm. During the tour I learned from Betty that her parents had gotten divorced when she was 12 and Frank was her stepfather. Her parents decided to move to our Commune when Frank had gotten fired from his job at a Recycling Plant in Vermont. Apparently they thought that getting away from the hustle and bustle of living in a city would allow them to get to know each other better and perhaps they wouldn't have to work as hard, they were in for quite a surprise however because the house I had prepared for them was only temporary, they were going to have to build their own house and do chores that my father would later assign them.
Betty also told me that she was vehemently against moving here but like me she had no choice, but at least there was another teen on the farm. I told her about myself and my family and by the time the tour was over we were getting along just fine, I started to appreciate her cute face and I realized that just because she wasn't blessed with beauty didn't mean she wasn't sexy in her own way.
Over the next few weeks we got to know each other better and I would take her for walks around the forest. I learned that she was still a virgin and had not even kissed a boy much less seen one naked. One day when we were walking through the forest next to one of the three rivers she pulled me aside and said "Chris I really like you." I was a little surprised, although we had gotten along very well she never showed any interest in me "I like you also Betty" I told her. "Do you think I'm ugly?" she asked me. "I think you're very beautiful Betty" I assured her "I know I'm not, but thanks for trying to make me feel better." I was a little upset, I had meant what I said, throughout the weeks we had known each other I had grown attracted to her, perhaps because she was the only other viable female around but I liked her nonetheless. "Betty you are one of the most beautiful women I have ever met and that's the truth" I told her. She looked up at me with her soft brown eyes and started to bring her face close to mine, I leaned in and kissed her, but it was a kiss unlike one I had ever had before. As I wrapped my arms around her waist my tongue slipped it's way in to her mouth and started flicking at her tongue and teeth. She was slightly startled but soon got in to it and soon we were swapping tongues and making out like no ones business. As we slowly fell down to the soft earth I pulled off her shirt to reveal a lace pink bra that was hiding not B but C cups, I'm not sure if it was the way she held herself or perhaps the clothes she wore but she was more voluptuous then I had first thought. As she pulled her face away from mine she looked up in to my eyes and said "I want you to be my first Chris". By then I had already decided I was going to pop her cherry and I pushed my face back against her and started to undress myself.
When I was down to just my boxers and she to her bra and panties which matched the bra she once again pulled her face away from mine. She reached behind her and tugged at her bra letting it fall to the earth revealing a pair of firm and beautiful breasts. The areola were small and a light pink color and her nipples were slightly darker, and they looked like little nubs.
I couldn't pull my gaze away and she got a little frightened "Is something wrong with them?" she asked, in response I said "These are the prettiest breasts I have ever seen in my life."
I then brought my head down to her right breast and started licking the areola and lightly flicking the nipple with my tongue. With my other hand I lightly squeezed her left breast and then started pinching and playing with the nipple. She moaned in pleasure and I brought my head up to kiss her neck.
I slowly started kissing down her body until I got to just above her panties. I slowly pulled them down to reveal a shaved pussy with glistening lips, it was a beautiful sight, she had gotten wet from our kissing and playing with her breasts and I slowly stroked her pussy with my right hand while lightly teasing her swollen clit with my left. She started moaning loudly and squirmming so much that I had to use my arms to push her down so she would stop moving. As I slowly pushed my index finger in the her vagina she squealed a little from her first penetration, she had never masturbated before and was very sensitive.
I slowly brought my finger in and out of her pussy and at the same time flicked her clit with my tongue, I felt her hot and tight pussy clench on my finger as she screeched out in pleasure as she has her first orgasm ever. As she lay there panting I pushed another finger in to her and went very slowly while I gave her time to catch her breath. After a minute she pulled herself up to me and gave me a really hard kiss. She then pulled away and exclaimed "That was incredible, I've never felt that way before" I kissed her and then she said "I want to return the favor". She had learned from her friends that a girl is supposed to suck on a guy's dick and that's called blowing him. Now while I wasn't very tall or heavy I did however have an impressive penis, my dick was around 9 inches long and about 4 inches in girth. When she pulled down my boxers to reveal my large cock she gasped audibly. I chuckled a little, the very first dick she ever saw was quite large and she just looked at it for a while, stunned.
After a while she recovered and slowly started stroking it's length. I shivered a little and she asked "Oh my god I'm sorry did I hurt you?" I laughed a little and said "No that feels great it's just been awhile" she nodded and then started stroking a little harder and faster, after about a minute of this she brought her face close to my cock and licked the tip, by then I was leaking precum and she exclaimed "It's salty!"
She then slowly put the tip of my dick in her warm wet mouth and it felt amazing. Even though it was only her first time sucking dick she picked it up easily and soon started bobbing her head up and down although she could only fit about 5 inches in her mouth. After a few minutes I felt my seed start to churn in my balls "Oh god I'm going to cum soon" I warned her. Just then she started sucking even harder and stroked furiously with her hand, after 10 seconds I really hard and started squirting ropes of sperm against her throat, because it had been so long since I had sex I just kept cumming and eventually she couldn't swallow anymore and she started choking so I pulled out and she coughed a little.
"That tasted good" she exclaimed "That was incredible!" I told her "You're a natural at this"
She got a little embarrassed but then I pushed my face in and started kissing her as hard as I could. Soon my dick was starting to get hard again and I told her to lie down. I brought my face next to her pussy and slowly start licking it, she started moaning again and then I started pushing my tongue inside her pussy feeling the heat and tightness of her virgin pussy.
"I can't take it anymore I want you to fuck me" she exclaimed. Happy to oblige I brought my dick up to her cunt and started brushing it up and down. She squirmed again and then I slowly started pushing it in. It felt incredible even though only the tip was inside I felt like I was going to cum right then and there. She gasped a little at the large intrusion inside her vagina but slowly relaxed. I started pushing in slowly going deeper until I felt the wall of her hymen, when I brushed against it she squealed a little. I slowly started moving in and out making sure not to go too deep, but after a while it was not enough and I decided I had to be fully inside her. "I'm going to push it all the way in now" I told her "O..okay" she said sounding frightened. I pushed myself back against her hymen and stopped when I was fully against it, I took a deep breath and then pushed all the way in. She screamed in pain and I didn't dare to move. After a minute of just being inside her and her whimpering she calmed down and nodded at me. I started thrusting very slowly at first but soon she started pushing against me and I sped up, soon I was going at a normal rate and she started moaning in pleasure once again. I sped up and even though I had just popped her cherry I started moving at full speed, we were both groaning and after half a minute I felt myself getting close again. I had to make a decision then, I didn't know if she was on birth control or not so I didn't want to cum inside, however when I started pulling out she said "Don't worry I'm on the pill you can cum inside."
That was all I needed to hear as I thrusted as hard as I possibly could, she shouted out and I felt her cunt clench my cock so tightly and then I emptied it in to her womb. We both lay there panting for awhile, neither of us moving, me still inside her. Eventually I got soft and plopped out and we both laughed a little.
When we finally recovered we noticed it was starting to get dark and I said that we needed to get back to the farm before our parents started worrying.
(This is my first time writing about my sexual experiences, I am very open to constructive criticism, and if you guys want I will continue the story, it gets a lot more exciting and dirty later on.)

Enzymatic Therapy Naturalean with 7-Keto® -- 30 UltaCaps™
Good brand and added ingredients a +
I've switched from DHEA to 7-Keto because the DHEA can increase other hormones (e.g testosterone - my dr keeps an eye an all levels and the dhea did affect the others). I like this brand because the do not use chemical solvents and follow GMP, and the addition of choline, etc. As far as the 7 Keto, I can't really tell any difference between various brands. Even tho DHEA levels decline with age, I think you must check your levels. Anyone that thinks a pill is going to make them thin is kidding themselves. I wasn't able to lose a sustanstial amount of weight until I got rid of the white flour, sugar, fast food, and switched to whole superfoods. These supplements only help keep your body running optimally !

Not for me!
Unfortunately, this product does not work for me. I think anything that says! To help make you thin does not work. There are no miracles.

Cruiser + Touring Motorcycles
Cruiser + Touring Motorcycles includes two of the most popular motorcycle categories, accounting for nearly three out of every four on-highway motorcycles sold in the United States. According to sales data from the Motorcycle Industry Council for 2012, motorcycles classified as "Cruiser" accounted for 32.3% and those classified as "Touring" accounted for 41.9% of total on-highway units sold. As discussed in Cruiser motorcycle guides, most cruisers are classically styled motorcycles that highlight the exposed engine–usually an air-cooled V–twin–and metalwork such as chrome exhaust pipes or heavy fenders. They typically offer a relaxed, feet-forward riding position favored by riders who, as the name implies, enjoy cruising down Main Street or their favorite back road. Touring motorcycles, which includes some cruisers as well as other types of bikes, are designed for long-distance travel. Touring motorcycle reviews look for typical details like a windshield (and sometimes a fairing) to protect the rider from wind, a comfortable seat and attached luggage, such as hard or soft saddlebags and possibly a trunk. Baggers, a nickname for motorcycles equipped with saddlebags, straddle the cruiser and touring categories and they're very popular today.

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Washington Nationals, Cleveland Indians
In August the Red Sox traded their incumbent first baseman in Adrian Gonzalez, and have since been left with a gaping hole at the position.
That hole has yet to be filled as free agency begins in earnest, and suffice to say the Red Sox are looking at existing major-league options from outside the organization to fill that role. One of those options may be Adam LaRoche, who spent the last two seasons with the Washington Nationals, according to Fox Sports' Jon Morosi.
The 33-year-old free agent is coming off one of the best seasons in his career, in which he hit 33 home runs, knocked in 100 runs and won his first-career Gold Glove. Though 2012 was something of an outlier for LaRoche, he's been a consistent performer throughout his career, never hitting less than 20 home runs in a full season.
Additionally, he spent six games with the Red Soxin the middle a wild 2009 season during which he played for Pittsburgh, Boston and Atlanta — being traded twice in the course of nine days. The Re...

Scott Weiland's (STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, ex-VELVET REVOLVER) business partner and touring guitarist Doug Grean has revealed via Facebook that he is working on a new Weiland Christmas song. He added, "It's the record that just won't quit!"
Weiland's Christmas album, "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year", was released in October 2011 via Rhino Records. According to a press release, the CD covers "a variety of styles including big band swing, orchestrated ballads, reggae, bossa nova and more, all delivered with surprising ease by Scott Weiland." In a 2011 interview, Weiland stated about his reasons for releasing a Christmas album, "Um, well, why not? They're songs and renditions that I've listened to from a child all the way to my adult years. And they're very special to my heart, you know. If you last long enough in this business, you have the ability to make the kind of music you want to make. And this is something I've wanted to do for a while." When asked how he ended up making a Christmas album, Weiland said, "We actually recorded one song over a year ago, and we decided, 'Let's make this an album.' So we recorded with a full jazz orchestra — some of the best players around. And we took a lot of time figuring out the arrangements and finding the right keys and giving some of the songs a different flavor. You've got some bossa nova, a little reggae. It was amazing to be able to sing those kinds of songs and experiment with different phrasing. Singing rock 'n' roll is a lot different than singing jazz." STONE SOUR and SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor last year slammed Weiland, calling the STP singer a "lazy piece of shit" for recording and releasing "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year".SCOTT WEILAND Working On New Christmas Song

NASA's Kepler Spacecraft May Be Finished
A critical failure in Kepler's alignment may spell the end for the storied planet hunter.
The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
--Johannes Kepler
The storied Kepler space telescope, finder of scorched baby Mercuries, a real Tatooine, gigantic Jupiters and possible other Earths, might be on its last planet-hunting breath. The telescope put itself into safe mode yesterday and its control wheels may have failed, meaning it cannot properly point at the stars. NASA says the telescope is not dead, but they are not sure they can keep it going, either.
"I think the most interesting, exciting discoveries are coming in the next two years. The mission is not over," said William Borucki, Kepler's chief scientist and the man who conceived it decades ago. "But the mission is not taking data. There is a reasonable possibility that we will be able to mitigate that problem. I don't think I'd be a pessimist, here."
Kepler, which orbits the sun trailing 40 million miles behind the Earth, is controlled by four gyroscopic reaction wheels, which keep it parked in the right direction. It stares at a patch of 150,000 stars between the constellations Cygnus and Lyra, looking for blips in brightness that indicate a planet passing in front of them. This type of search requires incredible pointing precision, and that's where the wheels come in. The reaction wheels keep Kepler in place despite the pressure of the solar wind.
Launched in 2009 on a $600 million mission that's already been extended through 2016, the telescope has been experiencing issues with one of the wheels for some time. Wheel No. 2 has been turned off for a while, and earlier this year, managers on Earth noticed another stuck wheel, so they put Kepler in park and hoped the kink would work itself out. On May 12, Kepler put itself into safe mode when it noticed it was drifting out of position. When NASA woke it up Tuesday, May 14, telemetry indicated wheel No. 4 wasn't moving, despite commands for it to spin.
Scientists need at least three working wheels to keep Kepler pointed with extreme precision, as carefully as the Hubble Space Telescope. Without them, it might be able to hang out in a "point rest state" and do other types of astronomy, but that's not clear yet. NASA managers said they were trying to think of ways to fix it--maybe ordering the wheels to wiggle around, or spin like you might spin a stuck car tire--but they're not sure it will work.
"I wouldn't call Kepler down and out just yet," said John Grunsfeld, NASA's associate administrator for science and a former astronaut.
Kepler has been phenomenally successful, finding more than 2,700 planet candidates and 130 definite planets. In some respects, Kepler bridged the emotional void between the end of the space shuttle and the landing of the Mars rover Curiosity. During that gap, NASA still had an awe-inspiring, romantic explorer to share with the public--and with scientists.
"When we started out, we didn't know virtually every star in the sky had planets around them," said Paul Hertz, NASA's astrophysics director. "Now we know that."
Even if it can't be fixed, Kepler's discoveries will continue rolling in. It has a list of 2,740 planet candidates, which can be verified with ground telescopes or with Kepler's own data. Granted, those self-checks would be better if the telescope had another couple years to stare at the same stars. But it has an enormous archive of data, so no matter what happens to it now, Kepler findings will not cease for some time.
Borucki said he has at least two years of work to do with the data he already has.
Though NASA managers and scientists said they are not counting Kepler out, their words Wednesday were certainly fitting of a eulogy.
"For me, it goes back to sitting on my porch, looking at the stars and wondering what's out there. And now we know, because of Kepler," Grunsfeld said.
Go here to check out some of Kepler's current highlights.

Big shame. They were expecting this for some time though. A shame because with still only 130 confirmed planets it was just getting into the time period needed to start discovering real earth like candidates not just planets very close to their star or orbiting very weak stars. Though some very interesting once have been found. But with 130 confirmed planets it's still 2 less then the 132 planets the European HARPS Instrument has so far confirmed. An instrument which keeps going and going because it instead CAN be upgraded and repaired being on earth. All the potential Kepler candidates will keep them busy though so who knows. Of course later this year when the European GAIA is launched we could start discovering tens of thousands even hundreds of thousands of planets so earth like planets will be found no matter what.
Then we have the new coming of ESO's SPHERE instrument followed by our NASA/ESA James Webb followed by telescopes like the E-ELT and TMT and some instruments during and after these missions. Win, Win for astronomy. A brilliant time to be alive.
Even if NASA had a space shuttle, I doubt they'd fly it out to 40 million miles, considering the moon is sitting at about 240,000 miles. Once Kepler parked, it was pretty much destined to sit there for eternity.
But hey, this would be a great chance to test out a deep space unmanned repair vehicle... if NASA ever got around to building one.
