aboutHello. My name Is Solemnstar.
I'm a fifteen year old (assumed) male-to-female Transexual.
I want to help, plain and simple.
I like plain and simple, I like to catergorize people, ptu them into nice little boxes in my head.
and I LOVE figuring out the ones that don't fit.
Chatspeak annoys me, It takes an extra two seconds to type the real words.
I don't anwser advice as often as I should. Mainly because of School.
my boyfriend found out i cheated on him. he broke up with me. i miss him alot. i dont know what to do. i regret it and everything. i was just wondering if anyone as been in this situation and got their boyfriend back some how. please help me please
I have been in a situation like this, and you ahve to understand all the things it can mean to your BF.
To you, You made a mistake and regret it, you wish you had never done it. But you should learn to accept that you did, and ask him to know that you do still care about him. you made a mistake.
But to Him, It can say so much more. That He was not a good enough boyfriend to keep you interested, that you never cared about him and he was just a boy-toy. You have to understand that this seriously puts his confidence in himself to doubt.
Explain to him that you did that with no intent to harm him, but only as a mistake on a whim.
But don't deny that you cheated on him.
You did, and you have to accept that, you made the error, and this is your fault.
He may accept you back, but if he does, his trust in you will be shaky,so you have to do anything you can to make him comfortable in that he can trust you not to betray him again.
does liking a girl when u're a girl too instantly means that ur gay or bisexual?
Everyone gets a few homosexual crushes.
I've had one. But everyone else i've ever had intrest in was a Girl.
the point is, people when they are teenagers, experiment, because it's a part of a quest for identity.
So no, just liking one does not make you Homosexual or Bi-sexual.
but for instance looking for relationships only in same-sex partners would make you homosexual. Make sense?
my boyfriend's internet was down and he didn't call me for 3 days so i was wondering if he was no longer interested. i checked his myspace page and found that this girl left him a comment saying "i'm talking to you on the phone right now. i loveee youuu" that got me pissed because i didn't know what she meant by "love". i asked her if they were going out and she wouldn't answer me. so then my boyfriend calls me 3 days later and he asks me if we are still going out because he said he's not going out with that girl and he said he's really sorry for everything. my friend had a feeling from the beginning that he was a cheater and a player so we put him to the test. i made up a new screen name and pretended to be one of his friends and here is our conversation
his friend - heeeeey its _____
my boyfriend - heyyyyy =)
his friend - i have something really important to tell you
my boyfriend - kay go ahead
his friend - well your not gonna believe this but i like you.....
his friend- more than a friend.
my boyfriend- oh really ??? =)
his friend - yeah are you going out with anyone?
my boyfriend - no (HE SAID THIS WHILE HE WAS TELLING ME HOW MUCH HE LOVED ME)
his friend- on you dumped that girl?
my boyfriend- yeah she was weird
his friend - did you ever like her?
my boyfriend - no i liked you
^^ that was me talking to my boyfriend who really thought it was his friend
so then i told him that he had been PUNK'D and i saw the whole conversation and i said "if you were so sorry why would you cheat on me?
his first reaction was "i think im gunna cry for the first time in my life and i cant believe this"
and then after he was done being shocked he was like oh my god im soo sorry. he said "i KNEW it wasnt my friend the whole time so i was just leading them on" and i go "uhm yeah right"
and now he tells me he STILL loves me. how can i believe it??? he'd probably cheat again
i haven't broke up with him yet but i'm really really mad and i just can't trust him. what if he was going out with that girl on myspace but just lied so i'd think he's single?
is what he did considered cheating?
what should i do?
Girl, you did the best thing you could. Yeah it was considered cheating in my opinion, the guy claimed to love you, and could'nt even be faithful.
Get rid of this guy, get him out of your life. you can't trust him.
He's just trying to save his own butt by saying he still loves you.
Is love a feeling or emotion? Why do people fool in love and why can't i find love?
Love... IS i think a feelings mroe then an emotion. peopel try to fool around in lvoe because they all want it, and you can't fidn love perhaps because you spent time asking us this.
Go out and enjoy life
i met this guy like 4 months ago and no we are not going out but we have gone and dates and i also lost my virginity to him. The last two months i have found myself so caught up in him and im falling so hard for him. We dont talk on a daily basis maybe 4 times a week.
A month after i met him i really liked him and i told him that and he called me clingy and we got in this argument and stopped talking for three weeks. I dont want to repeat that but i really need him right now in my life.
Im the type of girl that only tells a guy i love you if i truely honestly mean it. And i really just want to tell him but how do i tell him with out him leaving?
thanks guys.
Guys need space.
They really do. they hate if anyone tries to chage them, or if maybe the hold on too tight, because they are afraid of losing the freedom being single has.
you need to let him have his space before you tell him.
You need him to see that you love him and trust him enough to be a little looser in terms of clingy-ness
When he sees that you trust him, you can tell him.
I'm glad you've found someone who you have such strong feelings for.
Best of luck in your future
lately ive been just down. durning cheerleading practice (im very involved in cheerleading,its pretty much my life) im not doing as good and I feel fat because i am the biggest flyer and weigh just as much as the girls that lift me. other than that, i get realy stressed at school because my one teacher sucks at teaching. then my family just bugs the shit out of me alot too. also with my love life ive been threw alot and now i dont think my heart can fall for someone the same since what happened to me before. and i get so self conscience and i try to work out but let myself go and its just really stressful.
i just think i would feel 10 times better if i had someone to talk to besides friends. but i dont want people saying "i.m me" blabla when they havent experianced stuff that im going/gone threw.. which is sex, heartbreak, being used, multipul mood swings, unable to like someone for real, cheerleading stress (or anything with weight).
i apperiacte any help what so ever and i have my own column but can't figure out my problems. all you columists keep up the great work.
You want to talk?
if nothing else i can listen. you may feel uncomfortable talkign to someone you don't know anythign about. I can understand that.
You seem liek a very nice person, one who does'nt deserve all this stuff thats going on. Just keep in mind that the things that have happened to you have made you who you are, and that's something beautiful
I know most of what you've gone through.. execpt for the cheerleading stuff, but i'm physically male so... yeah..
okay me and my boyfriend were at church a few nites ago and we were gonna go down the stairs. okay there's this little space beside the stairs where two people can be alone and he pulled me in there and kissed me. he didnt talk about it for the rest of the nite but i know he's gonna bring it up next wednesday. i mean, it's not like i didn't enjoy it or anything, but i don't know if i should take it a step further (as in having sex) or keep it like it is.help?
Sex seems a little extreme.
I think it should stay as it is.
Sex seems too early, but it depends. if you think you are ready for it, then go for it.
But it's probaly best if it stays liek it is
Okay, so I like, well not like but LOVE this guy named Jake. He is sooooooooooooooooooo cute. Here is the problem, he is shorter then i am! Everyone is so short! I'm begging for help. mainly because he is comming to my house to finish a project and i don't know what to say!
could it be that you are SO tall?
Thats just physical, It should'nt matter, You should'nt liek someone just because of how cute they are.
But people are like that.
Decide If your really want to miss out on someone just ebcause their short.
It seems stupid to do that if you ask me.
As for Not knowing what to say, I'd talk about the general stuff, Music, movies, What you look for ina relationship, that kidna stuff.
Okay whenever me and my boyfriend are messing around and i like touch him or poke him down there...he always tells me im making him hard?? im not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing or even what it means..haha cause hes comeing over tonnight soo pleeasee help! thanks :]]
It means your turning him on. His penis is getting hard.
He likes what your doing, it's a good thing.
okay so me and my bf were going out and we wanted 2 kiss me but im like ew gros (it was 6th grade at the time) and so then we broke up but then we got bak 2gether (bcz of major flirting on both our parts) and so hes like i had dreamz of us kissing blah blah blah so im like fine meet me in the stairs il make ur dream cum tru. so i madeout w/ him w/e. but heres the thing. im only in 7th grade! is that so extremely horiable? and every1 found out (bcz 1 of my friends cant keep her mouth shut!) and every1 thinks im a slut. HELP ME!!!
People are just stupid, they spread gossip, and care more about other peoples lives because they do not ahve one of their own.
You are not bad or wrong. They are.
THEY however are not YOU, so it's none of their buisness what you do.
And the Friend that Told is'nt really much of a friend for doing that.
I'm so sick of being alive. Everything is so hard. I can't stand it. It's like I'm doing something wrong. I have few friends, but it doesn't matter because I don't like them. I don't like any one. People don't meet my standards and they never will. And when it comes to girls I have no idea what I'm doing. It's like there's some secret technique that every one but me seems to understand. My problems with girls contribute the most to my loneliness and depression. I'm unmotivated in school, because I care more about trying to find a place I belong, trying to find some one who understands me. I can hardly sleep because I'm always worrying about all this. I'm scared I'll never have friends. I'm scared I'll never have a good job. I'm scared I'll never have my first kiss or have sex, and if I do it will be with some one I don't want to do it with. Somewhere between now and the next few years I 100% sure I'll be dead. I can't take it anymore. I've been to therapy and they even locked me up like a criminal in a mental health ward, but to no avail. I hate life. I hate myself. I hate every one, especially if they're happy. I don't see things ever getting better. Please help me. And don't post anything about God, Jesus, or religion of any kind, it will be an automatic 1 on your rating.
then live for yourself. if the others don't meet what you need. care about yourself first, them second.
Death will not make you stronger. it will please them, make them glad you are gone... or they will miss you, if only because they are good people with morals.
I'm nto going to lie to you. Odds are with this kind of thinking, all those things you predict, you will cause them. kinda a self-fulfillign prophecy.
Now you can die, and please them, or you can live, because you want to.
There is no point to a life for others only.
Okay...this is Haley...again! lol but me and my boyfriend as i have said before have been dating for about 5 months and we're defanitely in love! and he's told me before that he's never felf this way about anyone!! but he dated this girl before me for 3 and a half years.....!!!! and she ended up breaking his heart and they talked about getting married and stuff like that! Now the girl is a really big whore...like believe me I know!! And me and him talk about when we get married and he says that im the one hes been waiting for and that everything about their realtionship was a lie bc he couldnt trust her...But i always feel like im being compared to her or that he still wonders about how things wouldve been if she hadn't have turned out like that! And we've talked about it but i just cant get HER out of my head! and im driving myself crazy!!! And what really sucks is that the girl is pretty! I just dont know! and everybody remembers his as the popular quarterback who dated Charity...???? What do i do someone please tell me!
The cold truth is, people never stop loving their Ex's. What they do is find somebody else whom they love more.
If it's being called into question in your mind, you shoudl really tell him how you feel. besides it may prove to be better. i've seen people lead others on for years just to take for all their worth. and even after the ;ead onstill feel that they were truly in love.
okk...so i'm a Christian and i know the Bible says not to like go out with the same sex..and stuff but i like another girl and i don't know how this happened!!!! Soo..I'm not a lesbian i only like one girl am I gonna go to hell or anything??
I figure, The bible was written a very long time ago, God's view must have changed a little. Or,being that everyone sins, it should'nt be a problem if you like someone of the same gender. I think it's all a part of god's plan. there has to eb homosexuality, and people will diablities, and birth defects, and Transgenders, and all those other things people get worked up about. they exist, and god created them, so obviously, it must have been intentional.
I would'nt worry about it. I'd sort of start to worry about it if you put faith before personal happiness, if you decide you are a lesbian.
This comes up alot. in fact i read a story about a man who hated being gay, and went to god for help. god helped him, obviously.
I myself am not christian, nor very religious. I believe god exists, but that is my only view on faith.
Iwoudl say, live life for you, not for a god that may not exist.
But that is just me.
okay well this guy that i like and i know he likes me is all of a sudden hugging a bunch of girls in front of me and does he not like me anymore or what. i dont know whats going on
most likely? he's trying to make you jelous. unless he's just friendly.
Okay What are some "turn off's" girls do on like a regular basis?
Because I want to know what I should STOP doing lol
Thanks guys.
by the way im 13.
I'd say the nuber one thing that turns me off is anythign to do with past BFs.
also, (but this is probably just me) i look for someoen who is willign to just slow down, stop for a bit, and just s[end soem time holding oen another.
i don't usually like anyone who is all
I woudl say, avoid being overly serious. huys are idoits, proven fact. jsut let them enjoy themselves.
whenever my boyfriend is around his friends, he acts like a total idiot, and then when were together he's all sweet and caring when its just us two.. whats ronge with this picture? lol
nothing.guys are idiots.
he cares for you.
he acts around his friends like they are his friends, and around you like you are something more.
okay;; well i havea huge issue with trust
but its only with this one boy.
i really dont care about anyone else
well. anyways.
sometimes i dont belive he loves me
i mean theres a differnt bewteen
"thinking" you love someone
and "knowing" you love someone.
and i KNOW i love him.
and he said he KNOWS he loves me
but i dont believe him
and he asked me how can he prove it
but i dont know how?
so do you got any advice on what i should do with
telling him to prove it.
like any ideas.
yu cant really make a person prove something like that... and if you don't believe him, i'm not sure you love him. If you loved someone you would be open to them, and caring not disbelieveing and dishonest.
if you really want to ask him to prove it though, don't go about it like that.
just blatently asking a person to prove they love you is wrong.
if you need proof you don't love him, if you're in love you will feel it and not doubt it and you would do anything for that love because when it is gone, it's not coming back, and that is quite a dark place.
Hi, I'm 15/m. There's this girl that I like a lot, but she says shes bisexual, but leans more towards girls. We're really good friends, and we like a lot of the same stuff. I've tried asking her out before but she said no because she wants to be truthful to herself and not hurt any guys, but that we could still be friends. The bad thing is that I'm afraid to be her friend, because I'll always want more. Every time I look at her and think about her I want to be able to hold her... kiss her... be there for her as a boyfriend but I know I can't because... she's more lesbian than straight. She seems to really like me a lot and we seem to flirt a lot but I don't know. I still want to be with her though... She's like the sunshine in my rainstorm, and at school, she's the only person I'm looking forward to seeing. So, the question is, I really want to be with her, but I'm afraid to be her friend. What should I do?
... this is word for word, one of the worst moments in my life...except when i asked, and went out with her... thats another story.
go for it man.. if she says no, meh worse thinsg can happen. thast a remarkble thing about life. when we hit rock bottom, we can still get lower...
ok hey. so, i'm in highschool (i'm a sophomore.). i'm a female (pretty obvious?) and i need advice. duh. i haven't dated/liked ANYONE since llllaaaasssssttttt year. i really want to find someone that i can like and will like me. all my friends have boyfriends, and they are neglecting our friendship to hang out with their stupid boys. this isn't just about them, though. i really want someone who i can be with romantically. do you have any advice to help me when i don't have a boy, or to help me get one?
You have friends right, who have boyfriends,who most likely have guy friends of their own.
thats all i can think of for meeting one. or get good at gaming, if you are not. alot of guys ten to play videogames im sure
My guy is mad at me because he thinks it's fun to be mad at me . This is totally not cool by my rules. What can I do?
THanks soooo much !
like, joke-type mad? if not, yeah just leave 'im.but if its fun.......no JK hehe.

President Obama's speech on job creation today defined three key areas where the Administration wants to indirectly devote part or all of the $200 billion dollars in unexpected TARP savings – small business job creation, infrastructure investment, and "cash for caulkers" clean energy programs.
Senior Administration officials who previewed the speech said that the reduction in the TARP price tag has provided additional "breathing space" for this kind of investment in job creation, meaning that TARP authority would not be used to directly pay for the measures, but the impact on the budget would be effectively the same. While the officials would not be pinned down on a cost for these measures, one can expect that the provisions would not go above that $200 billion dollar ceiling. Administration officials characterized this as "moving away from helping banks on Wall Street and toward hiring on Main Street."
The three key areas are:
1) Small Business. There are three ideas in this area. The first is a series of tax cuts to support additional small business investment. These would include an elimination of capital gains taxes for small business in 2010, and extending Recovery Act tax breaks on enhanced expensing provisions and the bonus depreciation tax incentive. Basically, cutting taxes for small businesses.
The second is an additional tax break, that job creation tax credit in 2010, designed "to get job growth more connected to GDP growth." The left-leaning Economic Policy Institute has a proposal along these lines.
The third is an extension of lending to small businesses, and the money for this could come directly out of TARP. The White House would eliminate fees and raise loan guarantees for SBA loans through next year, something that they said was so successful in the Recovery Act that they ran out of money. They would also ask the Treasury Department to fast-track small business lending through banks.
2) Infrastructure. Under the proposal, a certain amount of additional infrastructure spending above the expected appropriation – $50 billion was the number thrown out by senior Administration officials – would go to infrastructure spending, including highways, transit, rail, aviation and water. Today's New York Times investigative report about the disastrous nature of the nation's water treatment systems is just one example of what could be restored with this new spending. Better and cleaner transportation and physical infrastructure systems could be a public health boon as well as a job creator.
The Administration would also set aside a "meaningful portion" of that infrastructure investment for merit-based projects, similar to a program in the Recovery Act called TIGER. This would leverage money with public-private partnerships.
3) Clean Energy. There are two parts to this. The first represents the White House wanting to catch the lightning in a bottle from the cash for clunkers program a second time with something colloquially referred to as "cash for caulkers." Under this plan, the federal government would encourage energy efficiency retrofits by providing rebates to consumers who partake in them. Senior Administration officials called this a "win-win" idea that would over time save consumers money on energy bills and put people in the construction sector back to work. No numbers were given for this proposal.
The second part would be to build up Recovery Act investments in clean energy which were "over-subscribed," where more companies offered bids than the money available. The example given was renewable manufacturing, like factories making components that go into wind turbines.
The President will talk about fiscal discipline in his speech, but would stress that additional investment is needed in the near term to "address the unemployment crisis." Any deficit reduction would happen in the out years. And the President would argue that such deficit reduction starts with the health care reform proposals to stunt the long-term growth in medical inflation.
In addition to these measures, the President is still holding firm to previous ideas to increase the social safety net (extending unemployment benefits, the COBRA subsidy, a $250 one-time payment to seniors and veterans, and relief to local governments). President Obama also announced that he would wind down TARP entirely, though he set no end date for that.
As a snap analysis, some of these programs are decent, though the small business areas are weighted pretty heavily on tax cuts rather than speeding lending. The more radical ideas of direct employment are not here, and I'm unhappy to see aid to local governments, where 900,000 jobs are at stake in 2010 alone, shunted to the side rather than highlighted. Overall, it beats nothing and in some areas could be worthwhile. I'm not sure it's enough.

Rabchecko landed a nasty right hand in the 3rd causing Nicchi to be laid out. The referee did not even administer a count, calling a halt to the action at the 2:19 mark of Round 3.
Kirill Relikh (13-0, 12KO's) make short work of normally game Paolo Gassani (16-4 8KO's). Relikh let an onslaught of vicious punches on Gassani. Gassani tried to fight back but was ultimately stopped by a vicious body shot at the 2:02 mark of Round 1.
Tamas Lodi (9-0-1, 7KO's) took his 3rd fight in the month of March on short notice to battle hard hitting Ilungs Makabu (13-1, 12KO's). Lodi, the last minute replacement, was over matched from the very beginning. Makabu drew first blood from Lodi by busting up his nose late in the 1st. Makabu continued to overwhelm Lodi in the 2nd & the 3rd before dropping him with a vicious left hand. Makabu kept pouring it on causing the referee to halt the action in favor of Makabu at the 1:21 mark of Round 3.

I underestimated the time it'd take to do the loop I just finished riding. Instead of 3hrs it took 3:35.
Weather guessers were saying T-storms all day and I went out anyway. Took the Gore Tex jacket 'just in case' tho.
So I got out the door and looked west towards where I wanted to ride. Rain. Hmmm.
Looked south at the puffy white clouds and sun. Guess I'll go *that* way!
So I did. Managed to ride around all the rain except for one little bit of sprinkling just outside Bealeton. Went Nokesville to Summerduck to Remington to Bealeton to Casanova almost to Catlett and then north to 605 then to 28N back to Nokesville. I can make loops from 1 to 8 hrs on secondary roads and usually not hit the same road twice.
Stopped at a MC repair place asking em how much to replace the clutch in Dad's Wing (and to get some agua). They're doing research... We'll see. I'm suffering from a crisis of motivation on that project too.
I'm a cyclist that rides motos, not a moto rider that rides bicycles.

TWO prominent advocates, Mabere Marando and Gabriel Mnyele, have filed a suit at the Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court in Dar es Salaam, demanding payments of over 12m/- from Kampala International University (KIU).
The 12,326,160/-, plaint of the suit states, include instruction fees to defend KIU in a case, service rendered, disbursements and work done on behalf of the university as its advocates and at its request.
It is alleged that the university engaged the two advocates in litigation proceedings that were filed at the High Court, Commercial Division, in 2010 against KIU by Kimambo Blocks Makers.
The two advocates allegedly agreed to represent the university in the said matter. By accepting the offer to represent the university, a contract between the parties was formed. Furthermore, it is claimed that on November 15, 2010, the advocates issued an invoice to KIU worth 11,891,160/- being instruction fee to defend and requested the university to pay 50 per cent of the fees as per that time.
However, until July 2012 when the said suit came to an end, the university had not paid the instruction fees to the duo. Despite several reminders, KIU has refused to heed to the same.
The two advocates are, therefore, requesting the court to order the university to pay the 12,326,160/- being amount due and payable to them. They are also seeking for payments of interests, general damages at the discretion of the court, costs of the suit and any other reliefs the court may deem fit to grant.

Can I give a grade lower than F?
The Seattle Seahawks front office is nothing short of clueless when it comes to evaluating prospects. James Carpenter was a disaster of a 1st-round pick in 2011, and yet they found a way to top it here. Bruce Irvin can be a terror as a pass rusher, but he's very raw and is not a three-down lineman at this stage in his career. Throw the character concerns on top of that, and you've got a guy with a huge bust factor. This pick could end up costing a number of people their job in Seattle.

Although the Satellite L650-1GD has few flaws and its performance cannot be faulted, it isn't quite as desirable as the likes of the Dell and the Packard Bell. Nevertheless, this is a highly usable mid-range laptop that won't disappoint.

However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Re: How do you pack your kit?
I've come to the conclusion that cases are a waste of my time and an extra storage hassle.
Cases 'are' an extra storage hassle, a good padded bag set not so much.
Going naked has its problems tho, if its raining/snowing you could be doing a lot of work wiping the drums/hardware dry. You're also flashing your stuff to people, people that might want it.
Its easier to carry the stuff in bags IMO. All my bags are one size over for quick/easy on and off, the benefits easily outweigh the negatives, the only one of which might be storage at the gig and w/bags its usually easy to find storage space, cases not as easy.

Last update: January 2015
Roslin Orphanage is located in West Timor, about 10 minutes from "Eltari Airport" in Kupang City. Founded by Budi and Peggy, officially opened by the Nusa Tenggara Timur province governor on March 6, 2002 ( it was started in Dec 1999 ).
Budi was a pilot for Garuda Indonesia , Korean Airlines, Singapore airlines and now Scoot Airlines while Peggy was an airline stewardess with Garuda Indonesian Airways for 9 years then a house wife and now as the care taker and manager for the orphanage from the start.
Our togetherness is the main strength and we are trying to maintain this togetherness throughout and to all of the children. It is our strong sense of belonging to the place and to each other that matter most to us.
Roslin orphanage is trying its best to help to shape up the children's future by giving them as much education as possible. After the children are finished with their schooling (hopefuly all able to graduate from the university) the orphanage will return them to their own people hoping that they will build their own home town and their own people. Roslin Orphanage is not giving any children for an adoption.The name Roslin was being formed by combining two Timorese grandma's names who were giving good advices to Peggy when she was a little girl. Both of them were advising Peggy what's good to be done and how to be a better person in life ( they were not Peggy's real grandmas) . Good values were passed to her and we think that it is a good way to remember them both by combining their names in the orphanage's name. From Grandma Rosalind and grandma Violin the name Roslin was formed.
Children, Staff, and Facilities
As of December 2014 we are having 178 children which majority of them are under 10 years old and they have been living at the orphanage since they are "days old babies". The youngest child is 6 months old and the oldest is 25 years old and his name is Gerson. He has graduated from the Medical School. Currently there are 8 children studying at the university. Next year there might be some 20 children entering the university studies.
We are having 5 people to assist us on looking after the orphanage day to day activities. Two people for looking after the babies, two persons as drivers and one person , Marsalina Oematan , she has been with us for the last 19 years to over look the progress and making sure that everyone are taking its part of their duties. The rest of the routines are being conducted by the older orphanage children helping the little ones. The little ones are not only observing, but also learning in the form of working along with the older ones as their efforts to be self sufficient and independent to them self in the later years. All of the management and decision making are based on their inputs and decided by my wife and myself.The orphanage size is 11,150 m2. Inside the compound we have 8 buildings and 4 more building to be built in the future.
Our Farm
Roslin orphanage has been self sufficient on rice since April 2008.
40 km (25 miles) away from the orphanage is our rice field which is about 20,000 m2 (5 acres) with more land to be cleared next to it of 60,000 m2 (15 acres). There are two more rice fields but at a different locations. For further development we will need a good land clearing machine if possible. The newly made banana farm is 25,000 m2 (6 acres) which is about 3 km (2 miles) away from the rice field.
In the next few months we will have our newly made banana farm capable of supporting the orphanage on teaching the children more about farming and at the same time to produce food source and even making some income when we are selling the banana to the public. For this farm we need some help for obtaining the small bulldozer which hopefully can be rented locally. So far we have been doing it by means of manual labour which not only slow but we have been often hurts on dealing with the sharp thorny trees upon clearing the farm land.
A new farm is in the making and it is designated as an eco village of which all plants will be organic plants and using the organic feriliser both from cow dunk as well as from the dead leafs or others. It was originally a rocky land and never been utilized as a farm land because there is not much of top soil on it . By doing the land clearing and a hard work of about two years , Roslin has managed to changed the rocky surfaces of which it was a raised sea bed into a farm land as what we can see on the picture below. We wish to have our own excavator one day as to work some more on changing the rocky land into a productive land ( currently Roslin is renting the excavator when able)
More Buildings in the Future
When we have completed building the girl's dorm we will have more children joining the orphanage and may be up to 100 children in total in the next 6 months. It was the space that was limiting us from having more children at Roslin Orphanage. This is also possible because now we are having our own water source at the orphanage's ground. By having our own water we will be able to plant more veggies and others just to fulfil our need in food and vitamins from the organic plantations.By end of May 2011, 3 girls will be finished with their high school schooling and they want to continue to study at the nursing school. In Timor both doctors and nurses are so limited on its number. We need more medical related people to be serving this area.
By the end of the year, Roslin orphanage will be having a kindergarten to run. Currently there isn't any kindergarten within at least 5 km radius near the orphanage. Without passing through the kindergarten it will be harder for the children to cope with the elementary schooling. We are planning to start building this kindergarten as early as May or June this year. Please join us for this effort if you can.
In the future we are planning to build a medical clinic to serve the community in the health matter. May be when Gerson has completed his medical schooling we will already having this planned clinic.
Visit us for your School project?
If you are planning to visit us for your school project or a social project of your office as a social responsibility program, please do so. We can facilitate all the required programs on programs such as activities with the orphanage and the orphanage's children, we can involve you with the village people on farming, mechanical building, education for the villagers, health enhancement to the village people and having classes for the people in enriching their knowledge on any aspects in the society.
It will be good if I can be there with you during my annual leave or my off days but without me , my wife , Peggy will be able to handle all of the maters accordingly. Just let us know in advance about your objectives of the trip and we will do our best to facilitate and to make sure that we have a good coordination without any miss understanding about the main purpose or the essence of the trip.
Roslin has built a kindergarten for the community, it is a Montesorri kindergarten and it is a free of charge for the village children who are attending the school. The school has graduated one batch of students and now is entering the second year.
For those who wants to help out at the school are welcome to participate the teaching

saya kagum akan kerinduan anda yang anda miliki di Kupang NTB..

Dear Pak Budi dan Mama Peggy,
Kami sekeluarga berkeinginan untuk berbagi kasih dengan anak-anak di panti asuhan, berupa bantuan pendidikan.
Kami melihat foto anak-anak di blog sebelumnya, dan tidak bisa menemukannya di blog kembali. Kebetulan saya sempat print dalam bentuk pdf.
Ada bisa dimungkinkan kami berbagi kasih, dengan biaya per bulan/semester untuk pendidikan untuk 1 orang anak didik : Lodiana Tanono
Dan juga untuk kebutuhan gizi,susu dll untuk Paulina Dovee Bupe.
Mohon maaf sekira ini berkenan, namun kami juga mohon pencerahan apabila ada putra-putri yang lebih membutuhkannya.
Mudah-mudahan kami berkesempatan berkunjung ke panti asuhan, karena putra kami mempunyai darah didaerah sana, sekalian kami bisa mengunjungi tempat nenek moyangnya.
Salam Kasih Tuhan,
Hi Pak Budi,
I just got back home from Treasures Women Conference "Love Never Fails' by JPCC at Senayan City. I went straight to my work desk and watched you again on YouTube and I was touched and speechless by your story and testimony and how God's love is truly seen in your family and your life. You and Ibu Peggy instantly became my inspiration and my role models. I have been married for 2 years now, and listening to your story made me realize that true marriage is also built by a hard work and a praying wife. Your wife is truly the epitome of a woman as describe in Proverbs 31. I admire your team work as husband and wife and it has encouraged me tremendously in my own marriage. For that matter, I thank you. I pray that you and your wife and children will always win in life with God. Reach more souls and make this world (especially our beloved country Indonesia) a better place. We support you and hopefully we will have the privilege of having you be our pilot when we fly with SQ to the States. That would be awesome :)

Hello Captain Budi
We have some baby and children clothings and toys to donate, where can we mail to?
Hello! I am dora and I'm 16years old, living in Singapore and today I have sorted out my books and wanted to give these books to the children there, but I have no idea how to. So can you please contact me through my email because I am clueless! Haha! Thank you, I will be anticipating for your reply:) I really want them to have my precious books because I believe they will treasure them more than I do, so please reply me!!:)
Hi CaptainB,
This is from James from Singapore.
The purpose of this comment is to find out from you if your Orphanage accepts donations of used Toys, books for children, and reusable items for children (still in good condition)?
We are a small group of people, strongly believe in unconditional love through sharing and giving. We often will have used toys given to the less fortunate. Throwing them away is a big waste.
However, we are not charity group. We do this from our heart. So we will want to extend this opportunity to your Orphanage.
Let me know if your Orphanage accepts those items?
Feel free to call me if there is any doubt!
Thank you!

Dear Pak Budi dan Ibu Peggy,
Nama saya Yessi dari Jakarta. Saya bersama rekan ingin berkunjung ke Panti Roslin dan mengenal Panti roslin serta membawa bantuan.
Saya ingin bertanya beberapa hal :
1. Kapankah waktu yang tepat untuk berkunjung? dan berapa lama durasi nya?
2. Bantuan apakah yang paling dibutuhkan oleh Panti Roslin?
3. Dari bandara Kupang, transportasi apa yang bisa kami gunakan untuk mencapai Panti?
4. Dapatkah kami mengikuti beberapa aktifitas bersama anak-anak?
5. Apakah kami dapat tinggal di Hotel Christati?
Trims bu,
I have got new soft toys to be given out to these children.
Any idea how do I go about doing this?
Best Regards
I want to visit Roslin Orphanage. I will go their and give them a donation personally. I also like to say to all of you that do as much as charity possible. That kids are the future of us.
Hi Pak,
I would like to donate my girl's old clothes and toys to the orphanage. Can you let me know where I can drop them off?
I have many thomas and friends train sets I wish to donate. Can u contact me please?
Hi captain Budi, I have some books and clothes to give away that are in tip top condition suitable for children ages 8-12 (clothes mainly for girls). Will there be any way I can pass them to you while you are in Singapore?
Dear Capt Budi
I have quite a handful of soft toys to be given away to the kids. In fact, most of them are new. Can these be donated? How can I pass to you in Singapore?
Hi Budi, how are you? It is inspiring to see you putting your care into action, and I would like to see how I can help.
I am able to collect used clothing (children and adults, not torn) which are wearable, and stationery and gift items (like picture frames, souvenirs etc), toys, books, other household items etc, some new some used, but all are usable and none is damaged. And I think it will be nice if they could benefit the children or young teenagers or adults in Roslin Orphanage.
If they can be of help, please let me know and I can arrange direct shipping from Singapore.
Dear pak Budi,
anak-anak yang asuh adalah anak-anak yang paling beruntung dipertemukan dengan anda dan keluarga. Jujur saya sangat tersentuh dengan tayangan bapak di Kick Andy-Metro TV. Ingin sekali saya membantu anda sekeluarga, saya hanya punya tenaga dan kasih. apakah kesempatan itu ada? Jika ada saya ingin sekali membantu roslin orp. membesarkan anak-anak... Semoga Tuhan Yesus senantiasa memberikan kekuatan kepada anda, Ibu Peggy dan keluarga dalam membesarkan mereka... Tuhan berkati !
Dear Budi, Peggy and family,
I would like to donate a month of my life to your orphanage. I work with Four Seasons the hotel group so I can help with teaching little tricks for your Hotel, I can give english classes, I can help with pretty much anything.

I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best

Dear CaptainB,
I have children's clothes to donate but some of these are winter clothes. Would you want these winter clothes? If not, would you know of any other organisations that might need them? Thanks
Hi, I'm Cpt Budi's daughter, the winter clothes are very useful for the kids there perhaps ranging from ages 0 - 18, we usually take the kids on trips to mountainous areas, and it gets very cold at night during the raining season, they usually jsut curl up in a ball in the car rides cause its so cold. even if the winter clothes wont fit my mother usually drops off bags of clothing for some of the villages that cars can't reach , very deep in the mountain villages, and the temperature drops till about 14 to 15 degrees. so any form of donation is useful to us and it will definitely be put to use.
Hi may i check with you.... Do you welcome used children clothes and new soft toys?I can deliver to you if you don't mind...Maybe still have some used books...Thanks...
Dear Capt Budi

The New York Knicks are in the market for another sharpshooter, possibly J.J. Redick. ESPN New York reported that the Knicks are monitoring the trade market for Orlando Magic bomber J.J. Redick. The speculation is that the Magic would ask for Iman Shumpert in a deal. No word on whether there's actually an offer on the table. Rumors Saturday also mentioned Shumpert as a target of the Phoenix Suns, who may offer Jared Dudley and a future first rounder. Hoopsworld's Alex Kennedy tweeted that the Knicks would rather give up Ronnie Brewer. Of course, they would. Also Saturday, the Milwaukee Bucks emerged as a potential destination for Redick. Other teams with "strong interest" in the gunner: the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls. The Bulls tried to sign Redick as a restricted free agent three years ago, but the Magic matched. Knicks would prefer to trade Ronnie Brewer, but Suns want Iman Shumpert. They have really liked Iman for awhile. They nearly drafted him. — Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) February 10, 2013 Still no guarantee that the Magic will trade Redick before deadline. But if they choose to move him, there are plenty of potential suitors. — Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) February 10, 2013 Photo: Keith Allison.

"We are ranked very high on quality education in the nation but in terms of funding we receive, we're quite low in terms of resources," Shaw said. "That really showcases that FSU is doing an incredible job. Being able to be ranked number one is really terrific for our university."
FSU is ranked 97 in the list of Best Colleges, national university rankings, according to the report, and the efficiency rating said FSU spent $17,731 per student in fiscal year 2011.
"On our campus and main campus, a number of non-faculty positions have been reduced through attrition," Shaw said. "In the last three to four years, we have had to make significant cuts, but we decided not to reduce any positions that any had direct impact on students in terms of instruction."
The report measured financial resources by how much the school spends on student services, research, instruction and related educational expenditures.
"They look at the quality of the institutions and the resources they receive," Shaw said. "We're ranked high among public universities in the
He said the school continues to look for ways to stretch its funding, but they're also looking forward to the fall semester.
"We are heavily engaged in getting ready for the first two years of freshman and sophomores here at FSU PC; it's a real opportunity for students and parents in this region," Shaw said. "We're a local university with a high reputation. Looking forward to realizing the opportunity this fall when they come on board."

With millions of Africans fighting for their very survival from violence and hunger, the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The United Nations has recently released a report that food prices across the world have risen to an all time record high which is part of the problem for the massive hunger that has hit the triangle in Africa where Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia all come together. The reports of millions of Africans fighting for their own survival from hunger are almost unbelievable but may not even tell the whole story.
This area of Africa has long been a major drought area causing both livestock and vegetation to be limited in its production of food stuffs in order to be able to feed people. There are official government reports that the situation is not getting better but instead getting worse and headed for a major human tragedy.
This present scenario is actually a precursor to what Bible prophecy calls for in the end of times. Jesus, in His Olivet Discourse - Matthew 24, told His disciples that hunger and its increase around the world was one of the signs of His Second Coming to Earth. Remember His Second Coming follows 7 years of Tribulation which is horrific judgment on the Earth, which by the way, follows the Rapture of the Church.
The book of Revelation reveals that hunger and famine will increase during this Tribulation period with farmland being burned up, the waters of the Earth being contaminated, and war running rampant across the Earth (Revelation 6:5-6, 8:3-9, 16:19).
What we see happening in the Triangle of Africa today is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled in a future tomorrow that may well be very soon.
Humans always fasinate me,well they ignorance.We spend billions on gas,electric fuel distribution.But water the only major property that life depends upon,there is no major construction or network distribution for agriculture .We relie on nature.And nature can't stand humans they will destroy us, we are they sworn enemies.

TNA 10: Top 10 moments
In this blog I will be counting down my top ten moments in TNA history, I believe myself to be fan of both WWE and TNA and more importantly professional wrestling as whole. I proudly say I have watched TNA since the first PPV from Huntsville, Alabama (mainly because it was on free television here in the UK). I stopped watching a few times but always kept up on the storylines.

The genus Taricha consists of three species and four subspecies of Western Newts (sometimes referred to as Pacific Newts). All newts are part of the family Salamandridae. The three species within this genus are the California Newt, the Rough-Skinned Newt, and the Red Bellied Newt, all of which are found on the west coast of the USA.
The Red-bellied Newt (T. rivularis) is brown on the upper body with a red underbelly, has grainy skin, and grows to between 5.5 and 7.5 inches. It can be distinguished from other coastal newts, not only by its red belly, but also by the lack of yellow in its eyes. Breeding males develop smooth skin and a flattened tail.
These newts are, however, often kept as pets and with proper lighting, feeding and hygiene they will readily adapt to aquarium life.

KINGSPORT — A Wednesday afternoon fire has caused extensive damage to a pair of Kingsport apartments, displacing both those residents and the tenants of seven other units in the complex.
Kingsport Fire Department Public Education Officer Barry Brickey says engines responded to the blaze on Sir Echo Drive at approximately 1:10 p.m. One apartment was fully involved when firefighters arrived, with the fire quickly spreading to another unit.
Brickey says one person was transported to the hospital for the treatment of injuries, the extent of which are currently not known. A cause of the fire is under investigation.

Mexican Fiesta Purim Seudah
1 comment | Leave Comment
Go South of the Border for your Purim Seudah! It falls on a Sunday, so no excuses! CreativeJewishMom collaborates with Jamie Geller to help you create the perfect Mexican Fiesta Seudah with everything from the colorful vase to the poblanos. Ole!
It all starts with the right tablecloth, in this case, a Mexican blanket. and some bright crepe paper flowers. If you can't find a Mexican blanket, any colorful (preferably woven) table cloth can certainly work. Bring out all the colorful dishes you own, paint some whimsical styrofoam fruit, and make some napkin rings from plastic bottles and a recycled bleach bottle to match. Just look how great this table looks! If you don't have any colorful glasses, or would like to add some to your table, it is super easy and a great project for the kids.
Decorating the table is a snap! Remember to pile on the layers— stacks of colorful dishes, single crepe paper flowers strewn here and there, and extra fruit to make the table look it's best! You can use those individual fruits as place markers if you like… simply attach a little flag (with your guest's name) with a piece of twine or yarn.
To complete the look in your home, hang some Mexican sombreros (now available for Purim at costume stores), some crepe paper streamers, and papel picado (Mexican tissue paper banners) if you can find it, or make some yourself! And of course, don't forget the candy-filled Pinata, a perfect finale for your fiesta!
To make the Recycled Beach Bottle Vase:
You'll Need:
- an empty bleach container, or really any large plastic bottle (like fabric softener or other household cleaning fluids); it doesn't have to be round
- a fun combo of yarn in a variety of thicknesses and colors
- a hot glue gun
How To:
- Cut off the top of your bleach bottle with a large sharp knife, and then use a pair of sharp scissors to trim the bottom section so it's an even height all around. (Make sure to wash out the bottle!)
- Attach the first piece of yarn with a dab of hot glue at the end and start wrapping, adding very small dots of hot glue along the way. Change colors as desired, wrapping the whole height of the bottle.
- That's it! If you'd like to use this as a basket as opposed to a vase, you might want to finish the top edge with a strip of felt that's glued to both the outside and the inside in order to hide the upper rim.
- Have fun wrapping all the cans and bottles you can get your hands on, and create a stunning table grouping them in rows or other more creative designs.
For the meal:
Jamie Geller's Quick & Kosher favorites: Corn Salad, Mexican Brisket, Stuffed Poblanos, Mexican Pasta, and finish with Banana Chocolate Parfait
Don't forget the Mexican Mishloach Manot! Lay a colorful napkin in a basket and fill with Salsa, Chips, Beans, Rice and Avocados.

This the dm3t is perfect for the student, the couch user, consumer in search or portability. This machine's ability to stay cool no matter what you do is really impressive, and the 6 hour battery life for the performance you get makes this machine worthwhile. At $550, the dm3t offers up a terrific blend of functionality and productivity solutions, and is a great machine for entertainment of any kind.

The HP Pavilion dm3t is a significant update over last year's dm3 model, offering better performance and a more stylish look, all at a lower price. The dm3t is a solid, full-featured productivity notebook with good battery life and responsive performance at a very reasonable price. If you're up for a lightweight notebook at a rock-bottom price, you'll be pleased with it.

The HP dm3t price is very fairly priced with the starting price of $599. I prefer the dm3t over the dm3z due to the better battery performance and lower amount of heat, but the cheaper price tag and ATI graphics on the AMD configuration might appeal more to some people, it depends on your wants and preferences. The port selection of the dm3t is very good, the screen decent, speakers good and battery life superb. I'm a big fan of the Intel CULV processors thanks to their good performance and low power usage

Man, we really wanted to fall in love with the dm3t. It's small, sexy, and about as well-built as any other PC laptop we've seen in a while, and the spec list is solid, if not spectacular. But it's hard to fall in love with any laptop that has both a substandard display and a terrible trackpad -- the two parts of a machine you spend the most time interacting with. It's particularly frustrating because they're such obvious and glaring flaws in an otherwise excellent machine, and we simply have no idea how or why HP decided to ship the dm3t without fixing them. Now, where's that sandpaper?

This sleek aluminum-clad notebook offers good performance and over 9 hours of battery life, but its touchpad slows you down. There's a lot to like about the HP Pavilion dm3t. It's sleek, lasts all day on a charge, and performs well. Plus, you have the choice of adding discrete graphics. Unfortunately, the imprecise touchpad on this machine slowed us down, and literally made us less productive while using it. Overall, we recommend the ASUS UL30A because of its better ergonomics. But if you can live with its few flaws, there are enough things going for the dm3t to make it a worthwhile purchase.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Celeron Dual-Core: The Intel Celeron Dual-Core familiy consists out of dual core CPUs for cheap laptops. Compared to the Celeron M single core family the biggest advantage (in addition to the second core) is the Enhanced Speedstep function, which enables the notebook to downclock the CPU in Idle mode. Therefore, the current consumption can be much lower. Compared to the Core (2) Duo or Pentium Dual-Core processors, the Celeron Cual-Core features much less L2 Cache which leads to a lower performance per clock.
SU2300: Entry level dual core CPU for small laptops. Offers only a low level performance due to the low clock speed and because of the Celeron brand some power saving features are disabled.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.9 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

In 1987, ABCC founder and Executive Director, Dr. Fred Lee Hord, as the first director of the Center for Black Culture and Research at West Virginia University, introduced the idea of a new organization to promote networking among Centers at an American Council for Education conference in Washington, D.C. Moving to Knox College, he gained administrative acceptance to host an inaugural national conference. That 1989 conference (at Knox College) was followed by biennial and then annual events at The Ohio State University, Northeastern University, Kent State University, Knox College, University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, University of Maryland at College Park, West Virginia University, Vanderbilt University, Cleveland State University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Miami University-Ohio, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Indiana University-Bloomington, University of Kentucky, North Carolina State University, University of Missouri, Rutgers University, Cleveland State University, University of Maryland, Wright State University, Purdue University, Auburn University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
National Headquarters
Knox College has supported the ABCC in a number of ways: becoming national headquarters in 1994, hosting the fifth anniversary conference in 1995, providing staff support with an Executive Assistant, Terry L. Duffy, work-study students, and assisting with various in-kind contributions. In addition, Knox produces the biannual newsletter, Nommo, the ABCC brochure, the ABCC Kuumba Programming Series booklet, and renovated a suite of offices which the ABCC shares with Knox College's Black Studies and Gender and Women's Study Programs. The ABCC National Headquarters was located at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, from 2005-2008; the following year, the organization had co-national sites at NCSU and Knox.

The ABCC is a growing organization with Centers that are members or affiliates in all 50 states and soon, in the Caribbean and West Africa, increasingly involving historically and predominantly Black colleges and universities, museums, community centers, as well as Multicultural Centers and Offices. ABCC benefits to members have expanded from networking, the newsletter and national conference discounts to include its own Speakers Bureau and Traveling Art Exhibits, as well as discount arrangements with book and journal publishers, film/video/CD Rom companies, and on-line agencies. In addition, Centers have the option of applying for formal accreditation from the organization. It co-published the first book on Centers, "Black Culture Centers: Politics of Survival And Identity," which can be purchased through Third World Press.
