Chocolate was first enjoyed as a drink. Mash up some cocoa beans, add water and some other exciting ingredients (sugar, spices, corn) and yum, it's dessert for kings and queens.
But now we usually eat chocolate in a bar. Did you ever wonder how that came to be? No? Well, I'll tell you anyway. Read all about it.

Activist's death 'murder not suicide'Comment on this story
Beijing - Police in central China say a veteran activist found hanging in his hospital room committed suicide. Family members and fellow activists suspect foul play.
A police report released through the Hong Kong China News Agency late on Thursday said investigators found Li Wangyang's fingerprints on the window bar from which he was found hanging last month. It says an autopsy concluded Li's injuries were consistent with suicide and found no signs of bruising, organ damage or other evidence of struggle.
Relatives say the 62-year-old labor rights activist never talked about killing himself despite previously spending 20 years in prison and being very sick from heart disease and diabetes. Supporters say it was suspicious Li was found hanging by his neck even though his feet touched the ground. - Sapa-AP

When Royal Pains returns for a second season on June 3, fans will see a new, pretty face on the series.
Anastasia Griffith (most recently seen on Trauma) has landed the recurring role of Dr. Emily Peck, a straightforward MD and potential business rival for Hank.
How does she arrive on the scene? According to Entertainment Weekly, the character will be introduced on the season premire when Boris hires her to temporarily fill in for Hank, who is missing in action.
Griffith is the second actress/actor to nab a major role on the new season: Henry Winkler will come aboard Hank and Evan's father.

Attention Church Family at VBC. Pastor received a message this week that there is a family in our church in need of a bed. If you have a bed or a mattress and box spring that you could donate to help out this family in need, contact Pastor Myers. Not sure of the size needed as of right now any size could help.
Also, for the rest of VBC, don't forget to be in prayer for our young people as they start back to school this week. Some schools start as early as Tuesday.
Just a quick reminder, as announced on Sunday, this coming up weekend is going to packed with opportunities to get involved around our church.
- First up is the prayer night coming up on Friday Aug. 1 at 7pm. Join as we come together in prayer for our church, our nation and our families.
- Then come back out on Saturday Aug. 2 for our canvassing visitation. We leave the church around 10:15am but come early as we enjoy a small breakfast and spend time look over our areas for the day.
- Last but not least, Sunday morning Aug. 3 brings an ensemble of singers from Berean Baptist College to be in service with us. Come listen to these young men and women as they minister to us through music. Hope to see you at all of these great activities and services.
Coming praying for God to do a work in your heart.
This Sunday following the morning service we will be having a youth Easter Egg hunt for children ages 11 years old and below. Young people will be divided up into two groups. One group will be ages 4 and below. The other group will be 5-11 years old.
Eggs will have prizes inside. So kids get ready to hunt and parents don't forget your cameras!
Just wanted to let everyone know that the services for tonight 03-02-14 at 6pm are still on schedule.
If conditions worsen in your area, use discernment in trying to make it out tonight.

Praise the Lord, despite the snow in the forecast, we WILL be having service tonight. The bad weather looks like it will not arrive until around 10pm or later.

Louisiana Tech Entrepreneur Develops HuntSoft, The App For Hunters
BATON ROUGE, La., Dec. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- HuntSoft, a web application for hunters, created by hunters, announced it's official launch today. Developed in Louisiana, a state known for hunting and other outdoor sports, the free app allows hunters to easily access and share maps, schedules, harvest data, weather, photos and more. Only live a few weeks, HuntSoft has already attracted hundreds of sportsmen from across the South. Users can access the site at www.HuntSoft.com and smartphone versions will be available in coming months.
HuntSoft can be used by individuals or for hunting clubs to manage leases, hunting schedules, share success stories, etc. A user's account data is kept completely private, including photos, hunting locations, etc., unless the user chooses to share with his or her list of connections.
An avid sportsman, HuntSoft is the newest venture for Randall Nachman, who launched his second company, ATLOS, at the Louisiana Technology Park in 2007. "What better place to launch a hunting software company than in Louisiana," Nachman said. "Never before has there been so much new technology development in the state, and Louisiana has long been known as the sportsman's paradise. Even though hunting is a $20 billion per year industry, it's grossly underserved technology-wise," Nachman said. "With HuntSoft, we've combined a passion for hunting with over 15 years in the software development industry to bring hunters a feature-rich experience," said Nachman.

Do student loans delay marriage? Debt repayment and family formation in young adulthood
|Date received:
|17 Dec 2013
|Date published:
|13 Jun 2014
|Word count:
|college, debt, family formation, marriage, student loan
Background: With increasing levels of student loan debt, the path to economic stability may be less smooth than it was for earlier generations of college graduates. This paper explores this emerging trend by assessing whether or not student loan debt influences family formation.
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine whether student loan debt delays marriage in young adulthood, whether or not the relationship between student loan debt and marriage differs for women and for men, and if this relationship attenuates during the years immediately after college graduation.
Methods: We estimate a series of discrete-time hazard regression models predicting the odds of first marriage as a function of time-varying student loan debt balance, using a nationally representative sample of bachelor's degree recipients from the 1993 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (N = 9,410).
Results: We find that the dynamics of loan repayment are related to marriage timing for women, but not for men. Specifically, an increase of $1,000 in student loan debt is associated with a reduction in the odds of first marriage by two percent a month among female bachelor degree recipients during the first four years after college graduation. This relationship attenuates over time.
Conclusions: Our study lends support to the proposition that the financial weight of monthly loan repayments impedes family formation in the years immediately following college graduation -- however, only for women. This finding questions traditional models of gender specialization in family formation that emphasize the economic resources of men.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Tennessee teachers shouldn't talk about American slavery and race together. That's what the State's Tea Party is saying.
Its on of a list of the five legislative priorities presented to state legislators by several Tennessee tea parties, includes a proposal to eliminate from history books references to the Founding Fathers owning slaves or encroaching on Native American lands, originally reported by a Memphis newspaper.
We talked to Tea Party leader Hal Rounds Wednesday. He described the way slavery is taught now as race-baiting. When asked if kids are walking out of school thinking our founding fathers were evil, he said "(The kids) are being taught (the Founding Fathers) were hypocrites and slave owners and part of the teachings about slavery was that it was inherently cruel."
Rounds first petitioned the state for the changes last year and is continuing the fight now.
We asked if you can seperate slavery in our country from the centuries old struggle for racial equality, Rounds believes you can adding "White people were whipped to."
Local civil rights activists disagree with Rounds.
Avon Rollins, who marched with Martin Luther King and now runs the Beck Cultural Exchange Center told us "If you don't learn from history you're bound to repeat it. History was a very cruel, very animalistic, and very harsh institution."
He compared diluting the history of American Slavery to ignoring the Holocaust.
Rounds tells us he's gotten a lot of positive feed back from state politicians. No votes to change the state's curriculum are scheduled.

My Grandma was in Dahau (or however you spell it) because my Great Grandfather pissed of Hitler so much by publicly accusing him of being a loser and an idiot. He stated that he would destroy Germany, so my whole family was declared to be hunted down. Only some escaped to refuge in Italy. btw he was not a Jew or Gypsy or anything just a badass German who knew what Hitler truly was.

OWH + Great Impresssions Blog Hop!
Hello all and welcome to my stop on this fun blog hop! Can you even believe all the cute cards?? I hope you are inspired and that you will make your own card (with whatever products you have) and join in the challenge for this sketch! You can find the Inlinkz and the rest of the hop info back at the beginning of the hop at OWH Stars & Stamps.
I have three cards to share with you. The first you have already seen back on the start off page at OWH Stars & Stamps. I wanted to show how the stamps could be used if you didn't want to color the image. And in the close up here, you can see that since my card base is black, I've lined the card with some white paper.
For my second card, I wanted to use the circle variation on the sketch, and I wanted to color that cute frog, so this is what I came up with:
I put a little glossy accents on his eyes to make them shiny. I just love this card, it's so cheerful, don't you think? And it's punny! Haha!
For my third card, I wanted to try watercoloring the frog, and it strays a bit from the sketch – the sentiment is stamped on the inside. I also tried making it a little more feminine. Can you see how I did that? Look closely…
I gave her eyelashes with a fine tip black pen! See them? She looks flirty, lol!
Here's the whole group together along with the stamps themselves…
I hope you've enjoyed this stop on the hop today! Sad news, though, you only have one more stop to go!

OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop!
Hello friends! Welcome to my stop on this years ginormous OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop! Aren't you loving all the beautiful red white and blue today?
I know there is a lot to see so I'm keeping my post short and simple. I used OWH Sketch #175 to create this card! I think this is a great one for small patterned paper scraps. That's what I used here, along with a patriotic heart sticker that has been in my stash forever. I layered it up with some nice cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts OWH fundraiser set Year Round Sentiments.
I hope you've enjoyed my stop on the hop, and I can't wait to visit all the other stops! Click here to go back to the main hop page!
OWH Die-Versions Fundraiser Bloghop!
Hey y'all! Thanks for joining me today on this fun blog hop! If you got this far you are almost all the way through the list, lol! Since you've come so far, I will keep it short and sweet and get straight to the point!
Here is the first card I have to share, it was also on the start off post at the OWH site but I included it here so I could give you the details:
For this one I used the thank you ticket die and I tried to make it look like a strip of red tickets! The stamp in the background is from the Tim Holtz Travel Blueprint set, stamped in white pigment ink on navy blue cardstock. I tied on a little red, white, and blue baker's twine as well.
For my second card I used the same die in a different way:
I really love the look of all the little wood products that are popular in papercrafting right now. I thought I'd try a variation on that. I used my die to cut a piece of thin chipboard and then I stamped on it with a woodgrain stamp (from All Night Media). I love how it came out! I tied on a bit of baker's twine, layered it up with some cute scraps and ribbon, and what a fun spring-timey card!
My final card is an AnyHero card. In addition to the beautiful blank handmade cards for troops to write home on, Operation Write Home also includes notes TO the troops to thank them for their service and encourage them during their deployments. For this card I used this great eagle die on some mirror-finish gold cardstock:
The picture does not do justice to that shiny gold eagle. The blue layer is dry embossed with a small stars pattern and popped on dimensional tape over the red layer. The die cut eagle is also on dimensionals. I heat embossed the sentiment from Stamper's Best (also an OWH fundraiser set!) with gold detail embossing powder on a strip of vellum.
That's all I have to share today! I hope you've enjoyed this blog hop and gotten some great ideas of how to use these new dies! Your next stop is Nicole at Scraps and Stamps!
Made With Love
Happy Monday, all! I have a special card to share today – my mom's birthday card!
I wanted something bright and spring-timey so I die cut some cute daisies and stuck them in a vellum mason jar. I kept the layout pretty simple because there's tons of detail and pattern going on.
I stamped the jar twice, once on vellum and once on some patterned paper then fussy cut them both out. I layered them with the stems and leaves for the flowers stuck in between. The label is stamped on patterned paper, then I used a marker to color the border before fussy cutting it out and setting an eyelet to tie it to the jar with the gingham ribbon. The large yellow button is custom made from yellow polka dot designer paper using the Epiphany Crafts button creator tool – love that thing!
All of the papers here were from my scraps stash! The border punch is a discontinued item from the Paper Studio. The small yellow button is retired from Stampin' Up. The die for the flowers is the Sizzix Daisies #2 – I couldn't find a link for it so it may also be discontinued. Everything else is linked below!

Four for Friday
Hey y'all! I am making up for lost bloggy time by posting four cards today!
As I mentioned I have been working on my crafting space, including cleaning out of stuff, and as I was going through my stash I found these four card kits that I received in a Facebook group swap awhile back. I didn't want to continue to store them, so I used them to make some cards! Since it's been SNOWING this week here in Louisiana (no, really! everyone is freaking out, including me!) I thought I'd post these wintry cards today. They are out of season now for OWH, but I will add them to a box to send in later this year to be used for Christmas 2014.
The kit included all the papers, the stamped image and sentiment, and the embellishment. I colored the image with Copics and inked the edges of all the papers and came up with the layout. I love this one!
The papers in this kit were so cute, and double sided, which makes it so hard to decide what to use! This is what I came up with. I colored with Copics again, and cut out the image. Am I the only oddball who actually enjoys fussy-cutting? I find it soothing somehow.
This card was all about showing off this awesome holographic paper. That stuff is so cool. I also loved the cute ribbon!
And another kit with really cute double sided papers! Loved the ribbons here, especially that burlapy-twine stuff.
Since all the supplies here were part of the kits, I don't have a shopping list to share. I wish I knew where that holographic paper came from. If anyone knows please leave it in the comments, ok?
Have a great weekend, all!
Happy Birthday
Hi, all! I have a super girly birthday card to share today! I'm on a tear again to use up my scraps (the scraps bin is ridiculous) so you'll see a few cards coming up with lots of pattern and color mixes.
I made this birthday card for a co-worker, and since I knew I'd be hand-delivering it, I didn't worry about making it envelope-friendly, and my flowers are bursting off the card!
The white flowers with the pink rhinestones are pre-fab from my stash, and the little pink ones are as well. The rest were created with scraps and punches.
The sentiment is from a retired Technique Tuesday set.
My go-to favorite tools for all cardmaking:
Gold Star Thanks
Happy New Year! Sorry for yet another absense. I'm working on some big stuff – including a new craft space! Can't wait to share it with you!
I do have a card to share today, a thank you card with a gold star theme – love that for thank yous!
Sorry for the poor quality of the picture. You can see the colors better in the close up picture.
I layered on my papers and stamped my image, then added touches of gold gel pen to jazz it up a little bit.
The gold star was punched with a retired SU star punch from a scrap of metallic gold cardstock – I'm pretty sure it's Worldwin brand. I hand cut the mat for it. The Thanks sentiment is from a retired SU stamp set called Outlined Occasions. Everything else is linked up below!

Recently I had a special commission to make a single Christmas card. I don't know if the recipient has received it yet, hopefully I'm not spoiling it by posting about it today! I had just gotten a new Technique Tuesday stamp set so it was a perfect opportunity to use it. A little heat embossing and sponging and I was pleased with the final result…
The picture doesn't really show all the shimmer of the gold spray I did on the background paper, but trust me it's shimmery!
I'm working on something special for Monday so be sure and check back!

Out of This World!
I wanted a break from all the Christmas card-ing so I decided to make a card for my OWH box. They always need cards for kids so I created this cute little birthday card for a deployed serviceperson to send back home to a little one.
I was inspired by this week's OWH sketch, #203. I used some ribbon for the vertical element, and moved the sentiment slightly but I think you can see the inspiration.
The stamps come from two different stamp sets. I liked the space ship and planet from one set because the style of stamp allows me to paper piece, but I liked the sentiment from another. I think it worked out well!
I love paper piecing as an easy way to add color and use up scrap papers. All of the papers on this card came out of my scraps bin. I had originally planned to add a third small image to the card as well, but it made it too crowded. Since I had already stamped and cut it out, I decided to put it on the inside – rare for me to do anything to the inside of a card!
The ribbon and papers are all from my scraps bin, but everything else is linked below.

The Congress has written to the Delhi Electoral Office, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of misleading Delhiites by showing prices of onions and tomatoes to be Rs. 100 and Rs. 80, respectively, through hoardings.
In a letter to the Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer, the Congress has claimed that various hoardings and neon signs, fixed by the BJP at prominent places of the city, showing prices of onions and tomato are "totally misleading". The letter says the prices of onions have been shown as Rs. 100 per kg and that of tomatoes as Rs. 80 per kg.
"Prices of onions have come down considerably after the Delhi government started selling the kitchen staple at cheaper rates after permission was granted by the Election Commission," the letter says.
According to Congress, the prices of onion range between Rs. 25 and Rs. 50 per kg and that of tomato between Rs. 25 and Rs. 48 per kg in Delhi. "The continuance of such boards and hoardings in different parts of Delhi is a deliberate mischief to malign the Congress," the letter said.
It claimed that such boards and hoardings would even provoke black marketeers to indulge in hoarding of essential commodities.
The party requested the electoral officer to direct the BJP to remove all such boards and hoardings immediately.
"We have just received the complaint and it will be examined tomorrow," said Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer Vijay Dev.
Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel said: "These are the actual prices at which onion and tomatoes were being sold. We have just highlighted the real picture."
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

No single course for providing water
TNI publications challenge anti-privatisation with alternatives
Two new books seek to challenge the claims that anti-privatisation activists present infinite criticisms but few alternatives.
Two new books seek to challenge the claims that anti-privatisation activists present infinite criticisms but few alternatives.
Launched in Marseille last week, Remunicipalisation: putting water back into public hands, looks at how unequal access, unkept investment promises, environmental hazards, and scandalous profit margins have prompted cities around the world – including Paris, Buenos Aires, and Dar es Salaam – to regain control of their privatised water services. Alternatives to privatisation: public options for essential services in the global south, which will be launched in London this Friday, is a broader global survey of alternatives in the water, energy, and health sectors, looking at cases in 40 countries.
Earlier this month, the UN announced that the international target to halve the number of people without access to safe drinking water had been met, five years before the 2015 deadline. If correct, this would still leave 783 million people worldwide without access to safe water, while billions continue to lack basic sanitation. There is no doubt that significant investments will be needed to meet these needs. Companies argue they are best-suited to fill the funding gap but, time after time, privatisation, and the more innocuous-sounding "public-private partnerships", have meant that corporations reap high profits while governments and local communities are left to shoulder significant social and environmental risks.
All heads are now turned towards Rio+20, the UN conference on sustainable development in June, and some particularly heated debates have already come to the fore.
This week, 22 independent UN experts warned that human rights obligations and accountability concerns could be sidelined on the road to Rio. At the WWF, ministers released a controversial declaration that activists said focused on investment and new technologies while failing to reaffirm the UN declared rights to water and sanitation.
Debates on the "green economy", and the "financialisation" of water and other natural resources, continue. But, it seems, a key distinction between last week's WWF and Fame meetings is how decisions on water policy and the future of essential services should be made. There is growing discontent, for example, with the centralised power structures in which "solutions" are often proposed and top-down, one-size-fits-all, blueprints devised. So will Rio+20 be another game of "show and tell" or will we see a bit more of that unruly "democracy-of-action"?

When Lois Margolet first opened Capriotti's Sandwich Shop in Wilmington, Delaware, 36 years ago, she and her brother, Alan, worked from the second story of a boarded-up building, roasting 10?12 whole turkeys every night and churning out a ?real turkey lover's? sandwich each day. Today, Capriotti's has expanded across 14 states, each location stacking the same award-winning hot and cold sandwiches, racking up such accolades as The Best of Las Vegas 2013 and Best of Delaware 2013 prizes from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Delaware Today, respectively, as well as being named one of "10 great places to bite into a surprising sandwich" by USA Today. Though the shop is still known for its slow-roasted-turkey creations?such as the Thanksgiving-inspired Bobbie, voted greatest sandwich in America by AOL's Lemondrop.com, piled with cranberry sauce and stuffing?its menu now ventures into the realm of roast beef, italian deli meats with such sandwiches as the capastrami, cheesesteaks, and vegetarian treats, such as meatless chicken and turkey.
Smashburger isn't just the name?it's the way chefs, otherwise known as Burger Smashers, cook every burger. First, they form never-frozen, 100% Certified Angus Beef into a giant meatball. Then they season it, place it on a butter-glazed grill, and smash it into a patty. The process caramelizes the beef, locking in flavor while keeping the meat juicy and tender. Each slab is then sandwiched in an artisan bun and is turned into one of an array of standard burgers or locally inspired specialties unique to each market.
This handcrafting approach typifies everything else the restaurant does, from blending handspun shakes to hand painting Smashburger's logo onto every beverage cup. Letting its food stand for itself and relying mostly on word of mouth for advertising, the Smashburger franchise expanded from one restaurant in 2007 to 220 today, with its swift growth from zero to 100 stores making it one of the nation's fastest-growing restaurant companies. This rapid development even caught the attention of Forbes and Inc. along the way.

Lol how can BK make you these bets he won't be able to fulfill if he loses because of their conflicting nature?
"With great power comes great responsibility."
I'd rather not lose any of you to be honest, so these lifetime bans arent very appealing, that's just me tho..
"I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will get confused. 1: Si vis pacum para bellum. Latin. If you want peace, prepare for war. 2: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. 3: In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacies, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This isn't vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment "
From a logical point of view I just don't know how you can have a 3 month ban bet and a lifetime ban bet when one makes the other irrelevant and both affect the original bet BK has with Don. Don and Spoon should both cancel their bets because they can't win but can only lose.
Yeah no offense, Bones, but if I can't win I would prefer to not be in the bet. Haha
Tell you what though, if you're still around after the fight, you can pick a phrase for my sig, in honor of me being wrong, and I'll keep it for awhile.
If you guys change your mind on the loser leaves town match, then I will honor the original bet fully.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
One thing I am really wondering about, and I am not saying it is bad, is if bonesknows is a mma fan and a Jon Jones fan or just a Jon Jones fan? Could someone be watching something merely for one athlete? Someone might tune into the nba just to watch Lebron, but not really care about the nba. This is how I think he can make this type of bet. Is that correct bones? Just curious.
If it conflicts and will create problems, then I'll withdraw my wager. I just wanted to take him up on the offer since no one else would. Not even with an ounces malice on my part.
If the others who wagered with BK are willing to withdraw their bets to accommodate mine, I will stay with the bet.
But if Jones beats DC and the Gus rematch is made, if you want to take the bet for that fight, I will take you up on that.

Michael C. Hall feels your pain.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, the Dexter star admitted that the series finale left more than a little to be desired. "Liked it? I don't think I even watched it," Hall said.
Question: I imagine you must be getting flooded with questions and/or ranting about the finale of How I Met Your Mother. I was among those who left the finale feeling incredibly sad, not what I expect from a show that's kept me laughing (and sometimes crying) for the last nine years, even when others were saying that the quality had declined. The thing is, when looked at objectively, I don't even have a major problem (Major Problem!) with the content of the finale. Yes, people get divorced and people die. People get remarried after both, and I've known several people in my own life who have reconnected with an old girlfriend or high-school sweetheart after the death of a spouse. It doesn't invalidate the marriage or even lessen the feelings of loss. The finale itself had great moments: the high-infinity, Marshall's "positive talk" about his corporate job, Judge Fudge, the mother's Gore/Lieberman costume, robots versus wrestlers, etc. Seeing Barney with a child was wonderful, although I did think he had grown more than immediately going back to his old ways after his divorce. And the scene on the platform was near perfection as they wove in how their almost-shared history was influencing their connection, making the whole nine-year story relevant to how he'd actually met the mother. (By the way, one more TM would be the name we've known Tracy by: The Mother.)

I have had my sliver for a year and a half and i can not wait to get rid of it. The camera is blurry, when you record a video you will be lucky if it lasts a minute, the iTunes on it though is my biggest problem. Every time i go to iTunes it will randomly skip songs and even delete them some times if i turn my phone off and then back on. The screen will randomly freeze and turn white and i will have to hit it to make it come back.

How to Gather Your Familys Medical History
Find out how to help you and your relatives stay well for life
By Jane Bianchi
Expert Solutions
Family medical histories are a big project and Latinas may face specific cultural challenges. Here, three women share their roadblocks, and Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, former Surgeon General of the U.S., offers practical solutions.
"My relatives live in a rural town in Puerto Rico, where Wi-Fi isn't widely available and not everyone has cell phones."
Dr. Carmona says: If you're not able to visit or call, designate a point person. Find a cousin or an aunt in your home country who is willing to take charge of gathering information from relatives who live there, then have them either email it—by visiting a library with free Internet access—or send it to you in a letter.

I doubt it. You should not be letting your pupils use hotmail within a school for this very reason. You need internal email setup or external webmail that can be monitored for this type of abuse.
Hi guys,
We have a pupil who is being sent abusive emails over a hotmail account from another hotmail email account.
Does anybody know of any way to contact microsoft to track who set up this account? we dont know where to turn!
Thanks in advance
I doubt it. You should not be letting your pupils use hotmail within a school for this very reason. You need internal email setup or external webmail that can be monitored for this type of abuse.
they cant use hotmail in school, its blocked. the only account they can get to is their school email account
They're legally bound to not release the information to you - you'll need a warrant / the police will have to obtain the info.
They may (however) remove the account if the user breached the t&cs (which is not of much use to you and it's easy to get another).
Sorry - but if the child isn't accessing it in school, why is it your problem?
The only thing your child can do is block the emails, I'm afraid
If this is happening outside of school and the abusive emails are not coming from one of your other pupils then I fail to see how the school can be expected to do anything?
It's a parenting issue.
As witch says, this may (apparently) be between pupils at the same school, but you can do nothing about it as the accounts are wholly outside your control.
If the parents have issues with cyber-bullying using accounts outside school, their only option is to take it to the police.
Actually, there is a second option - get the child to open a new hotmail/gmail account and tell him/her to be careful about who they pass the details onto!
Give them a guide regarding e-safety, how to block unwanted emails and let them know that unfortunately it isn't a part of your job to monitor external email accounts.
The user could contact Microsoft to complain about the abuse
Start with your web filter logs. IIRC hotmail only starts HTTPS then drops to plain HTTP - if the miscreant is in-school, they are likely to check for responses from their victim. This could be shown up fairly easily in the logs. Would be happy to help out with web log forensics if need be.
Another good trick is to send an email to their address with a web bug - just hotlink an image anywhere on the internet and then check logs for accesses to that image against username.
If one of the email accounts was a school account you could investigate. If both are hotmail accounts and hotmail is filtered internally, then it simply isn't your problem. If parents want to pursue it further then they will have to log the incidents with the police.
Try getting the parents to install IMSAFER (its free) and will help the parents identify any messaging that they need to know about. It will also identify the handles used by the aggressor so if they are doing this from a number of sources such as Facebook, messenger etc it will identify each account they send a message from. If they go to bbesafe - IMSafer - Protect children on the internet they can get hold of the product plus other good advice.

Interesting story on this photo of Lynda. I have the whole photo somewhere in my files, that goes to the waist. ANYWAY, according to a little known Playboy article (with Burt Reynolds on the cover pulling the tail on a Playboy Bunny) on the movie "Apocalypse Now", Lynda Carter was originally signed to play the main Playboy Playmate whose centerfold is hanging up. Playboy shot her as a centerfold, and this is from that shot! But then Lynda got offered the role of "Wonder Woman", so she bowed out, and Colleen Camp took her place. Both are posed the same, with a denim jacket over their shoulders face tilted to the left, eyes to the camera.
Ah, here's the Centerfold photo of Collen Camp. You can see how she's wearing the same denim jacket over her shoulders as Lynda did.

text: A solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales, Adam Greaves has been practising for 25 years in the London and international legal market. He focuses on asset tracing and recovery cases, together with anticorruption work, including compliance, advisory, audit and investigation. He has long enjoyed unravelling the complex schemes fraudsters employ to steal others' assets, and chasing down those assets around the world. Adam advises corporations under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, in conjunction with U.S. colleagues, and under the new UK Bribery Act 2010. He lectures in the UK and abroad on the Bribery Act, and has been quoted several times in The Wall Street Journal and the leading Swedish business paper Dagens Industri on the effect of the act on businesses. He works with some of the world's leading forensic accountancy practices on international corruption issues. His clients include large corporations in many sectors. During his career, Adam has worked with top law firms in many jurisdictions around the world, especially in off-shore jurisdictions where fraudsters tend to hide money. He has frequently obtained asset freezing injunctions and attachment orders in foreign countries – pre-action during the case, as well as post judgment. His professional memberships include the International Bar Association, the London Solicitors Litigation Association, the Commercial Litigators' Forum, and the International Association for Asset Recovery. During the 1990s he was involved in one of the largest British public corruption investigations in decades, which was led by the Mersey Fraud Squad, into alleged corruption of former Liverpool city council politicians by a major British construction group. The investigation spread into other countries where it was alleged that mayors and central government politicians had been corrupted in order to win large construction contracts and land deals from local government bodies. Adam acted for the construction group. Despite several years of investigation in several cities and countries, no-one was ever prosecuted in the company for corruption. Adam is one of the founding committee members of the Commercial Litigators Forum, a forum consisting of the top litigation practices in London. The committee regularly runs seminars on hot legal topics in the commercial litigation sector. The forum tries to influence decision makers within the government's justice department and the court system, to provide industry feedback. It also raised a substantial amount of money in 2010 for the launch of the world's first National Pro Bono Centre.

Video: Martin Eden "Return Life"
- Words: Glenn Jackson
Martin Eden (formerly known for his work under the name Eluvium) has shared a whispy bit of grainy imagery to accompany "Return Life," the closing track from his recently released Dedicate Function album. While the warm, reverb-drenched sonics heard here make for a lovely ambient outing, it should be noted that the Portland-based artist is just as keen to explore the possibilites of more rhythmic productions on the rest of the project's debut LP, which is out now via California's Lefse imprint.

I have decided to end my blogging hobby.
I loved blogging for the last three years, it was a whole lot of fun. I've met a lot of fun and down to earth people. I do have to apologize to those who wrote me and encouraged me to keep blogging. It is what every blogger wants to hear and see, people who are interested in their blog and want to keep up with them on a daily basis. Thank you to those who lifted me up, who loved me, and who encouraged me. But for now, I feel my private life/people need my full attention and I intend to do just that: keep living in the moment, loving those who are most important to me.
If you want to stay in touch, you can find me on instagram @yuli_pan.
Good-bye everyone!
Love, Yuli

Afghan President Hamid Karzai told visiting U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that American forces must leave rural areas of Afghanistan, withdrawing to major bases, according to a statement from Karzai's office.
"International troops should leave their bases in rural areas and villages and consolidate in their main bases," Karzai said, according to the Pashto-language announcement posted on the Afghan presidency's website today. While Karzai attached no deadline to the demand, he said "Afghan forces have the ability to ensure security in rural areas and villages," according to the statement.
"Both sides should work together to complete the process of Afghanistan's security transition from international troops to Afghan forces in 2013 instead of 2014," the statement quoted Karzai as saying. On Feb. 1, Panetta told reporters that the NATO-led coalition supporting Karzai's government against the Taliban will aim to end its primary combat role starting in mid-2013 and drop back to advising Afghan forces.
The U.S. has about 89,000 troops on the ground in Afghanistan, after withdrawing 10,000 last year. It plans to remove at least 23,000 more by September, and other nations are reducing their numbers as well.

This story is part of World Pulse's Democratic Republic of Congo Regional Focus Campaign to End Violence Against Women. These testimonies, along with hundreds of others, were delivered to the 2013 African Union Summit.
World Pulse believes that women's stories, recommendations, and collective rising leadership can—and will—bring an end to gender-based violence. The EVAW Campaign elicits powerful content from women on the ground, strengthens their confidence as vocal grassroots leaders, and ensures that influencers and powerful institutions hear their stories.

Madeleine Bwenge
A Voice for Women's Political Leadership
I am a Congolese widow and mother of four boys living in Eastern DRC. I am a fierce advocate for women's rights in my country, and I am particularly passionate about strengthening women's leadership so that we might enter politics.
In the legislative elections of November 2011, we saw an awakening of female consciousness, with many women running for office alongside their male counterparts. But barriers exist that make it difficult for women to be taken seriously in their efforts to lead.
Poverty is at the heart of this issue. Women in my community are disproportionately strained when it comes to economics, and this means that female candidates are unable to publicize their political efforts. Often, these women can't afford transport fares to meet voters, nor can they produce campaign materials to publicize their cause. Without campaign materials, it is difficult to convince voters to vote for a candidate, especially if this candidate is female, given the inequality that exists between the sexes.
Education is also at the heart of this issue. In our country, numerous families are unable to send their children to school due to strained socioeconomic conditions. Girls make up the majority of this uneducated group. Many children drop out of school before finishing the first grade due to the aforementioned poverty.
In the 2011 elections, these factors conspired against courageous women politicians and led to the ruin of all their efforts. But we will not be discouraged! We continue to run as candidates in the provincial, municipal, and local elections.
We must do everything in our power to help women enter into the political sphere. We need financial backing; we need a shift in the culture so that women may be seen as equals; and we need solidarity among all women to support those who strive to enter leadership positions. Only then will we see the peaceful Congo we dream about.
Riziki Bisonga
A Voice Against Domestic Violence
Like many in DRC, I grew up in a quarrelsome, violent family.
My father loved to fight. He would fight in the district where he worked, and he would beat my mother and us children. I recall one very bad night when he came home very drunk. He beat me until I was knocked out. The injuries were so bad that I spent time in hospital. After two days, I finally regained consciousness, and found my father in front of me crying, begging for my forgiveness. He promised he would never do it again. We made peace and went home where he refused to drink. From that day on my father never drank again and the violence was reduced in my home. What a miracle!
But many in DRC are not so lucky. Ongoing conflict, lack of resources, and customs that seek to neglect women, make life very difficult here.
Domestic violence like what I experienced in my own home is widespread. I recall the horrible story of the fate of a child in my community. When a mother went to get water—which is an arduous task here in DRC—the father raped his 9-month-old child and then ran away. The mother returned to find her child crying and full of blood.
One day I sent my 17-year-old girl to fetch water 5km away. I told her to take the short path, but there she met three men who asked to follow her because they were also seeking water. But these were not good men, and they used this opportunity to rape her. She fell unconscious and was found the next morning by passersby who took her to the hospital. Later she found out she was pregnant and all her hopes fell away.
It pains my heart to see how women are continually raped from day to day—even as infants. I ask that you spread awareness of these atrocities in order to end these abuses against the Congolese women.
I also believe that access to education for girls, so that they should know their rights, would be a great advantage for my country. Girls are not allowed to go into higher education; instead, they are prepared for their wedding. If girls were allowed to go to school, their leadership could change things for DRC.
You will often hear "Mwasi atonga ka mboka te," meaning a woman can never build a country, but I know otherwise. I believe that we, as women, can bring about great change in DRC; we have already begun.

international plea
we are an international organisation face ( forum des associations congolaise de l'étranger) eforum of congolese organisations abroad...
We are from de congolese diaspora, we stood up years ago, in plea to internatiional leaders against the thundering silence around the congolese crisis.
We the congolese diaspora, we spend yearly 9 .OOO.OOO.OOO , 9 billions usd to our families , this amount is more than the year budget of the country, we pay for school, births, hospitatl costs, school and university fee, food, drugs, funeral...replacing the declined state
We believe that only the veracity of polls now and in the futule, will stop the access of adventurers , coming from nowhere, with fake identity and parents to the top of the administration and having no values at all, collaborate openly with the enemy, to their wealth sake, money they poured into offshore accounts...Killing for money shame on all of you.
Following the un resolution 1325 and 1820 , we are convinced that only a genderised leadership will put an end to the suffering of our people, women and men are different and complementary, i can't imagine a women minister of finance, not allowing the payment of soldiers active on the battlefield during a war " to preserve the stability of the money" as openly declared matata mponyo the nowadays Minister of Finance in DRC, on the national tv.
Only the respect of the voice populi will give the chance to developpment of our country
as all the rwandan illegal oulaws in DRCONGO left congo when president kagame took power, we'll assist to the same phenomenon, if a responsible, accountable,legitime, patriot leads Congo,all those illegals, criminals, and barbarian we'll take a french leave an slit into rwanda an get back to the hard labour.
What do you expect from a governor like Paluku, claiming after his return in Goma, that " don't point out who works with M23 or not, let's forgive....In wartime, anywhere in the world, the one collaborating with the enemy are brought to court for betrayal
Women will talk, protest, dr Mukwege will operate more and more women until exhausted...Only an accountable leadership can solve the global problems in Congo, we believe Congo has a cancer, and the more active site of disease
With the vision of our assassinated prime minister Patrice Lumumba, the financial righteousness of the Late President Kasa vubu, with the stature of state man of the late President Marichal Moubutu,and the people comittment to the late Mzee Laurent Desiré Kabila, We'll follow the path of Qatar: in 20 years they turnt a desert into a 21st futurist state.
We people of the DRCongo, together we'll be successfull, devided, in tribes and provinces we'll fail....The fate of our grassroot sisters and brothers in the Kivu, is our own, all of fus
In solidarity with our Sisters
Togetherness is strength in times of despair. In solidarity with sisters in Congo. I met a few and they were so nice. As a woman and a mother I understand what it means when impunity seems to be the order of the day, even in my country. We stall not stop looking for alternatives. stay strong.
We have to fight harder and of course we are ONE...

Dear Neema,
Your writing is powerful and I love how you say, that you've learned how making the impossible possible simply requires making a different set of rules.
The photo of the Maman Shujaa is so very beautiful. Your voice is reassuring. Thank you for your bravery and dedication.

This is a series to look at how the Wizards stack up against their opponents in the East, where they finished 44-38 last season for a No.
The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs essentially made the same starting lineup change for the exact same reason during their respective conference finals. The to-date results, also similar.
The Wizards aren't very good at home, but the Heat pose the type of challenge that will make them have to focus in quick or risk getting humiliated.
MIAMI (AP) Dwyane Wade scored 22 points on 10 for 14 shooting, LeBron James finished two assists shy of a triple-double and the Miami Heat improved to 4-0 at home for the first time in franchise
MIAMI (AP) LeBron James won a championship and nothing changed.
