Additional Information
About AFODENICThis loan is administered by AFODENIC, La Asociación para el Fomento al Desarrollo Nicaragua, a Kiva Field Partner based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded in 1999, AFODENIC was created to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of sectors that are excluded from commercial banking. Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas. AFODENIC is a socially responsible institution engaged in society and making a positive impact on its professional partners and communities.
Supporting a borrower through AFODENIC contributes to the pursuit of innovation in mitigating poverty in Nicaragua. Visit AFODENIC's partner page for more information.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

911 was originally established for emergency purposes only, but has curiously emerged as the newest dating service, complaint hotline, and...comedy club? Oh yes, where else would an amateur comedian (I mean, "operator") find a more alert and captive audience to screen his new jokes? This "audience" probably laughs so hard, they cry! Oy vey.

OH, sorry ... I totally didn't realize I forgot to comment about that operator, I was worried my reply was getting lengthy ... he DID get in trouble. We learned about it in one of my classes at the Criminal Justice Academy. He's sorta a "What not to say/do" example. (My comment to that woman was totally unacceptable, too, and I did make an apology.)

Either way 911 is meant for emergencies. She called with her "emergency" and he should have treated it that way. I would have been upset also.

You guys wouldn't believe how many of those type of calls really happen. And not just parenting issues (I remember asking someone if they wanted me to come raise their child FOR them because she'd called soooo much over stupid things.) ... it's everything. 911 is for emergencies ONLY ... we're not your personal 411 directory ... we don't know/care when places open/close ... and we're not the officer's voicemail. Call the non-emergency number for that. K? Thanks. OH ... and if you call by accident, please stay on the line and let the operator KNOW that. Even if you hang up, for safety purposes, the call completes to the 911 center so that we can check/send someone out if the bad guy just cut your phone lines or whatever. Rant aside ... I do get a giggle here and there with some calls that come in. And for those that like to get it on in the car ... be sure the phone's safely out of reach. ;)

I remember that being in the news!! I kind of feel sorry for the 911 guy, I mean he deals with serious calls all day and then someone calls up with a parenting issue that really shouldn't require police intervention.

Kevin Nortz / The Herald
(click to enlarge photo)
Les Parks was one of the Tulalip Tribes board members who voted to support Mylo Harvey's family as they pursued litigation in Mylo's death.
Scott North
, Herald Writer
Listen to this chapter of the story, as read by The Herald's David Chircop.
I rode in Les Parks' pickup truck down a gravel road that runs through the heart of the Tulalip Indian Reservation. A hard November rain drummed on the cab.
Les and I talked fishing, something people have done on rainy November days in Snohomish County since long before there were pickup trucks or gravel roads.
A longtime Tulalip leader, Parks was then serving his ninth year on the tribes' board of directors. He spoke of watching his daughters haul bright chinook salmon from Tulalip Bay. I talked about a trip I'd made not long before to a lake where hungry coastal cutthroat trout rose to a well-placed fly.
Les' face lit up as he spoke of chasing fish: the delicious anticipation, the peace that comes from being patient and optimistic. The ultimate, he said, would be to fish well enough to capture a winter-run steelhead, the powerful sea-going trout generally regarded by anglers as the region's premier catch.
Les and I glanced at each other, sharing the dopey smile that comes only from fantasizing about great fish yet to be met. Then it struck me: I was thinking about catching fish on a fly; for Les it could be with a gill net.
Les was one of the tribal board members who voted in 2004 for the tribe to back Mylo Harvey's family, financially if necessary, in pursuing litigation over his death.
It was an unusual decision, a tribal government pledging itself to a family's personal struggle.
I'd heard this decision was being watched closely by Indian people in the Northwest. Some believed the fight had as much importance to Indians as the salmon wars of the mid-1970s, which affirmed treaty rights of tribes to half the fish and shellfish in the region.
I asked Les to explain why Mylo's case was important to Tulalip.
He said he'd have to show me.
"He had everything going for him," he said. "If I looked at Mylo, I was looking at myself at that age."
Les was generous with his time and his story. We piled into his black Dodge Ram pickup, feathers hanging from the rearview mirror. He pointed the truck west on Marine Drive, the main road through the reservation. Not long ago it was the bloodiest route in the county for drunken driving deaths. That history is memorialized by a legion of roadside signs bearing the names of the dead.
Les pulled to the shoulder about a mile into the reservation.
A sign stood in memory of Violet "Speedy" Parks, Les' mom. She died in 1966. He was 9.
Drinking led to the tragedy that night and contributed to a tough start in life, Les said. His family sometimes lived in homes without indoor plumbing. In some places drinking water had to be hauled in from a standpipe that had been placed in a local spring.
Les and I are about the same age.
When he was a boy, I was growing up just a few miles away, south of Everett. I still remember my first visit to Tulalip. It was as part of a third-grade class field trip from Silver Lake Elementary School. We were bused in to tour the tribal fish hatchery. We spent an hour listening to a storyteller.
More than three decades later, my daughter at roughly the same age and growing up in nearby Marysville, made an almost identical journey.
When Les was a kid, the tribal payroll had 30 employees. Today there are more than 2,200, and the tribes are second only to the Boeing Co. as a producer of new jobs in Snohomish County.
The Tulalips owe much of their recent success to gambling and careful investment of profits in economic development. They've been generous in their good fortune, contributing heavily to local charities. The newspaper's pages often are home to stories and letters about people questioning the tribes' motives and their legal authority to direct affairs on the reservation.
Although a lot is different at Tulalip, some things haven't changed. People here are taught from an early age to focus on the differences.
Les' father is a tribal fisherman. He often worked with Porter Cooper, Mylo's maternal grandfather. Port is honored on the reservation, in part, for finding a way to help the tribes sell their catch during the ugliest hours of the 1970s fishing wars.
In those years, Les and one of his brothers, Glen "Rocky" Parks III, were put in a 12-foot skiff and told by their father to begin straining the waters off Priest Point with a gill net. The teenagers would row up the Snohomish River estuary, set their net, and drift with the tide.
Almost all of their fishing occurred at night, when salmon are most on the move. At night, sound carries easily over the water, Les said. Nontribal people living at Priest Point weren't happy to see Indians fishing in front of their homes.
"We used to get a lot of flak from people. Ugly stuff. We'd fire ugly stuff right back," Les said.
Rocky Parks died in a fishing accident in 1990. He was 32. Les still fishes near Priest Point. He took me to see where. We parked near a patch of grass. A few years back, a construction project unearthed Indian bones and cedar timbers believed to be part of a tribal shelter buried by a mudslide long ago.
It was evidence, Les said, that Tulalip people his people have been here forever.
Not all that long ago, Les set his net in the water. He returned to find it cut into pieces and neatly stacked on the beach. Somebody was sending a message.
"I was just furious," he recalled.
So the fisherman prepared for a different catch. He repaired the net and ran it out again, attracting attention by flashing his light around and making a ruckus. He continued making noise as he hiked a winding trail leading back up the hill to his house.
Later, he quietly crept back. He spent a freezing night hidden in the tree line, fighting sleep and keeping an eye on his net. At one point, he must have dozed off because somebody snuck up on him. Les said he came up quick with a rifle, then just as quickly realized he was looking at a stump, and that anger had taken him to a bad place.
"What in the world was I thinking?" he asked. "What was I going to do?"
Les graduated from high school in Marysville in 1975. He'd struggled to get that far. A tough teacher in his senior year helped him buckle down and earn his diploma. He learned carpentry. His first job out of school was swinging a hammer for the tribes.
Les admits partying got him into trouble during his teens when he was nearly beaten to death at a gathering near Darrington. Then, in the mid 1980s, he became entangled with a cocaine ring and wound up being arrested by police.
By then he had kids of his own. He knew how to learn from his mistakes.
Les worked through the legal mess and set about building a life for himself and for all the others in his family and the tribe who were counting on him.
When Les was a boy, there were about 900 registered tribal members. There now are more than 4,000. The Tulalip Tribes grow each year with the birth of between 150 and 170 children.
Mylo was a part of the tribes' future, Les said. He believes there was a good chance Mylo would have put his mistake behind him and one day grown to be a leader, too. Mylo comes from a family that has led the tribes in the past, Les said. And he had the charisma and drive to one day find himself showing the way for others to follow.
Now Mylo's promise is gone, Les said.

Rusty Garrett here with the weekend outlook: Saturday, rain stays with us, but should taper off by Sunday, the drier of the two days.
MCLENNAN COUNTY (March 25, 2014) The landmark Eichelberger Crossing Bridge across the North Bosque River just north of Waco collapsed overnight, evidently as the result of debris that backed up after weekend rains and shifted the foundation.
The McLennan County Sheriff's Office confirmed the collapse Tuesday morning.
The turn-of-the century bridge was built at the site of a river crossing settled by the Eichelberger family in the early 1850s.
Descendants of the original settlers include former McLennan County District Attorney Martin Eichelberger, who died in 1977, and pro golfer Dave Eichelberger.
The bridge was abandoned in 1987 according to online records, but was used by walkers and fishermen.

A Free Playlist of Country Christmas Favorites
As the Christmas holiday approaches this week, I pulled together a Spotify playlist of my 30 favorite Christmas tunes for Country music fans to enjoy while wrapping last-minute presents, entertaining with family or heading out to your holiday get-togethers.

Please, Let Us Honor All the Muses
Regarding the letters of Oct. 31 on the liberal arts versus sciences: Four decades ago the late Mortimer Adler gave a lecture at the University of Kansas in which he accused C.P. Snow of committing the fallacy of false dilemma.
The important divide in academia should not be drawn between science and the humanities; that was the difference between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Rather, it should be between what Adler called "everybody's business," or general knowledge, and specialized knowledge.
Adler posited that every educated person should know something about physics, something about Shakespeare, something about American history and something about mathematics. However, since the adoption of the 19th-century German model of university education, the ivory tower had become populated almost exclusively by specialists, Ph.D.s in progressively narrower academic cubbyholes.
Henceforth, classes in Shakespeare devoted disproportionate energy to the examination of who the Bard really was, rather than the universal conversation which the Bard promoted; and the indispensability of George Washington was lost in discussions on the inexcusability of Wounded Knee.
We want specialists engineering our skyscrapers. But we also want those engineers to know that the quality of mercy isn't strained, even though the girders are.

"Paul's Poland Page" Top 5 Page for this destination Poland by Paul2001
Poland Travel Guide: 17,707 reviews and 47,880 photos
My trip to Poland left me with somewhat mixed emotions. This as less to do with Poland and the Poles than it does with just dumb luck. As any Pole will testify, the weather in September and October of 2002 was basically dreadful. During most of my trip the weather was both cold and rainy especially while I was in Gdansk and Krakow. For the most part this made wandering the streets of the Polish cities was rather uncomfortable. Naturally it did not make hiking in Tatras Mountains a pleasant experience either. Still I did get some sun in these wonderful mountains.
The weather aside I still found Poland to a generally engaging country well worth a visit if you are travelling to this part of Europe. Poland is full of great castles to explore, fantastic mountain scenery, and stunning town squares to laze away in(if it not raining). To my surprise Poland has some of the best baroque architecture in Europe which makes several of the town squares (or ryneks) to be very pleasant and colourful eye candy.
Poland is also now full of great places to eat which I understand was not always the case. Only recently have so many restaurants opened up to accommadate the tourists that now flock to the country. Finally in comparison to Western Europe Poland is quite affordable with dinners rarely costing more than $10.00 or hotel rooms over $50.00. It is a great place to travel on a budget.
On the negative side I had other problems in Poland other than the weather. Amongst the 30 years of age plus crowd there is very little English which can be a problems if you lack the patients to deal with people by pointing. The art galleries
are rather uneven affairs. Some like Poznan's National Gallery have a decent collection of European and Polish art. But other galleries are overrated and to put it bluntly, boring. A lot of this may have to do with the quality of Polish art which is not always up to international standards. Perhaps this is why these galleries seem to suffer from a paucity of visitors. Finally I was somewhat disappointed by some of the Gothic houses of worship in Poland. This is surprising because Poland has some wonderful Gothic secular buildings. However Poland has some of the ugliest Gothic churches that I have ever seen.
I do not think that these negatives should dissuade you from visiting Poland if the opportunity arises. It is on a whole a very pleasant country, and if the weather holds up I am certain that you will have a great time.
One of the most compelling experiences that you can have while touring Poland is a visit to Auschwitz. The Nazi extermination camp is now a museum. It is located outside of Krakow and is best visited as a daytrip from there. I have a seperate Auschwitz page for those wishing to explore it.
- Pros:Pretty town squares. Great Castles. Some Really Good Bars.
- Cons:Rude railway personal. Indifferent museums

"This invitation had plenty of room for all the information we wanted to include, and we used the back of the card to share where our daughter will be attending college in the fall. We chose the matte paper, which was perfect as the black background resembles a chalkboard look. The black also was a nice contrast to our photos."
"I have had many compliments from family and friends about how nice my sons graduation card turned out. I liked how I could put so many different pictures on to view. Also, how I could mix colored and black and white pictures."
"This can be used for two graduates because the text can be changed and also font type to fit what you need to print. Shimmer paper brings out pics more. Im very happy"
"The colors in this card are very vibrant and fun! Perfect for any Graduation celebration. I love the layout, picture quality, and there is plenty of room to add your own personalization! The option of having pearl paper is also a plus. I ordered the pearl paper and received many compliments on that elegant detail. Thanks, Tiny Prints for always getting it right!"
"I love TinyPrint. The Cards are so easy to edit and add your own touch. The one I made was for my daughters graduation and everyone who has received it has raved. Love the product and the company!"

American Girl dolls- do your dd's have one?
My SIL gave my dd an American Girl doll. (I personally think she's a little young for it, but oh well...) Do your dd's have one? Do they actually play with them?
I didn't think she'd like the American girl , but after I see her with this doll, I think she would enjoy it.
Quoting navewife:
Only because someone else bought it for her...I just couldnt bring myself to pay that much for a doll...but she also got a sewing machine because she wants to be a fashion designer, so guess who is going to be making her own american girl doll clothes.....now that is being resourceful lol
That's great! I always wanted to learn to sew as a kid, but had no one to teach me. I'm sure this skill will come in very handy!
Quoting RheaF:
My DD has them and plays with them all the time. The Target stuff does for them as well.
Oh good!
Quoting queen_k0302:
No. She wants one but i cant see spending $100 on a doll for a 4pinecillon yr old. Im getting her the my life doll. Walmart has them for 30. They seem to be identical to agd.
The Target version is really nice so I'm sure the Walmart version will be nice as well!
My girls save up their money, and we have been given a few hand me downs. Plus Craigslist rocks!! I was able to get three dolls (one for each girl for Xmas) for under 100 on Craigslist.
The resell value is pretty high. You can sell them almost what you paid for them, especially if they are in good shape.
And if they are retired dolls, or pleasant company (what american girl doll was before american girl), they will go for a lot of money! (Hundreds!!)
Quoting sophiesmom07:
Quoting matofour:
My girls LOVE theirs.
My oldest is just about to order the new doll of the year, she's been saving up.
I think between my three girls they have 14 dolls, and tons and tons of accessories and clothes.
I should of bought stock in that company.
Wow! I would have killed for one of these dolls as a kid! lol

Costa's inquiry into that life offers a deeply felt angle on the broader realities of life in Paraguay during the '80s; while the intimate film is unlikely to expand beyond niche theatrical bookings, it will affect many who see it.
Patiently photographed by Carlos Vásquez, who bestows the same gentle attention on grainy snapshots and the beautifully ruined face of an aging drag queen, 108 peels back layers of delusion and dishonesty.
Renate Costa's doc gradually simplifies into an elaborate seesaw between general, journalistic scoopery and unabashedly personal confrontation.

A trio of Grain Valley wrestlers will be making the trek to Mizzou Arena later this week for the MSHSAA State Championships.
A trio of Grain Valley wrestlers will be making the trek to Mizzou Arena later this week for the MSHSAA State Championships.
Dylan Wolfe (220 pounds), Cameron Nadeau (138) and Harrison Bamman (106) finished third in their respective divisions to punch their state tickets at Saturday's Class 3 District 4 meet at Liberty North High School. The Eagles totaled 66 points to finish eighth in the 13-team field. Kearney won the team title with 203 points, holding off Platte County (192.5).
Wolf started the day with pins over Warrensburg's Zeelan Lankford and Liberty North's Alex Fugate before dropping a 3-2 decision to Belton's Andrew Goin. He bounced back with a 3-2 decision over Staley's Logan Shinneman and then pinned Winnetonka's Justin Whitaker in the third-place match.
Nadeau notched a pair of major decisions by downing Raytown South's Andrew Bachstein (13-2) and Raytown's Briar Packard (18-10) in the first two rounds before being pinned by Kearney's Kevin Kinney in the semifinals. In the consolation round, he secured a 6-0 decision over Jacob Benson of Belton and handled Staley's Jordan Steward 5-0 to clinch third.
Bamman rolled to a 13-2 decision over Belton's Brenden Lamar in his first match before topping Warrensburg's Sean Parr 10-4 in the quarterfinals. He then dropped a 6-2 decision to Raytown's Elias Hamchaoui before bouncing back with a 5-0 decision over Slater Schrimpf of Jefferson City Helias and a 5-2 verdict over Staley's Seth Otis.
OAK GROVE BAGS TITLE: After Saturday's Class 2 District 4 championships, the top-ranked Panthers are primed for a run at the state title.
Ten wrestlers advanced to state and four snared district crowns at Excelsior Springs. Jacob Best (120), Tyler Brown (126), Bryce Mercer (132) and Anthony Barker (138) took home championships to help the Panthers (209.5) hold off second-place Smithville (197) in the 13-team field. Van Horn (31) placed 11th.
Preston Airington (195) added a runner-up finish while Brock Mercer (106), Drake Hoffman (113), Logan Cairer (145), Taylor Brinegar (160), Dalton Brinegar (170) all came in third.
In the title round, Best, Brown and Mercer all prevailed via pin while Barker advanced with a decision.
No Van Horn wrestlers advanced.

Click here for Medicaid Reimbursement for Postpartum (In-Hospital) LARC:
By State
The Association of State and Territorial Health Officers (ASTHO) has established a Learning Community to assist states in the implementation of LARC initiatives focusing on postpartum insertion following delivery. A variety of materials are available on the ASTHO website.
Health Management Associates has published a resource detailing the efforts of particular states to reduce barriers to Medicaid reimbursement for immediate postpartum LARC initiation. In addition to examples of successful strategies employed in South Carolina and Colorado, this resource also offers suggestions for how states can improve access to LARC.
Providers in South Carolina are now able to receive Medicaid reimbursement for inserting an IUD or contraceptive implant in the hospital after a woman has given birth or prior to discharge, as highlighted earlier this month in a U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "Have You Heard?" notification. The College supports such efforts to improve access and help women avoid unnecessary delays in obtaining LARC methods.

There is no set age, the child must be of sufficient age, intelligence and understanding. There are many more factors that the court uses.

Audrina Patridge
It's always exciting when a bunch of beautiful celebrities gather to celebrate their own, and Audrina Patridge showed up at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards earlier tonight (May 19) in Las Vegas.
And of course the "Laguna Beach" babe was the center of attention as she sauntered down the red carpet outside the MGM Grand Garden Arena ahead of the evening's affair.
After a fun night out, Audrina Patridge stepped out of the famous Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Wednesday (April 24).
The former "Laguna Beach" starlet donned patterned jeans with a sexy black top as she flashed her gorgeous smile to the awaiting photographers.
Love is in the air at Coachella, and Hollywood's finest aren't exempt as both Emma Roberts and Audrina Patridge engaged in some PDA with their men on Saturday (April 13).
Hand-in-hand with her beau Evan Peters, the "Scream 4" starlet wore a white t-shirt, tiny black shorts, and black shoes, while the former reality star cozied up to boyfriend Corey Bohan in a sleeveless short dress and brown wide-brimmed hat.
Getting ready to enjoy an afternoon of live music, Audrina Patridge arrived at the 2013 Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Palm Springs, CA on Friday (April 12).
The former reality TV star looked casually sexy in leopard print shorts, a cropped white t-shirt and Ray Ban sunglasses as she happily made her way into the annual event.
Basking in the fun Superbowl weekend atmosphere, Ashley Greene and Audrina Patridge joined Channing Tatum at his New Orleans bar, Saint & Sinners, in Louisiana on Saturday (February 2).
The trio of Hollywood A-listers gave all of the Big Easy visitors something to cheer about as they tossed strands of beads off of the upper balcony while hosting a Touch Down on Bourbon Street event.
Adding some glamour to Super Bowl weekend, Audrina Patridge and Kendra Wilkinson were among the hosts for the Leather & Laces Party in New Orleans on Friday (February 1).
Decked out in a simple-but-elegant little black dress, the former "Hills" star added a multi-color printed blazer to her look as the night went on.
Picking up some products to keep her skin looking flawless, Audrina Patridge went to Lancer Dermatology in Beverly Hills on Friday (January 25).
The "Hills" star smiled at paparazzi in a gray studded sweatshirt, black skinnies, and ankle boots as she headed back to her car.
Taking the celebration into the wee hours, Gerard Butler and Audrina Patridge both showed up at the after party for the "Movie 43" premiere in Hollywood last night (January 23).
Rubbing shoulders with industry bigwigs, Mr. Butler thoroughly enjoyed himself at Madame Tussauds Hollywood along with Relativity Media CEO Ryan Kavanaugh.
It's one of the most-talked-about films so far this year, and "Movie 43" splashed onto the scene with a big Hollywood premiere last night (January 24).
"High School Musical" cutie Ashley Tisdale showed up on the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theater sporting a lacy white and black dress with strappy black heels as she posed for the press.
Making a speedy escape with a male friend, Audrina Patridge exited Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood on Saturday (January 19).
The "Hills" star smiled in an animal-print top, black skinnies, and a black fedora as she was whisked away by her companion.

THE Investment Trust derives its income from at least five different sources, of which the first in the following list is by far the most important. These sources are (a) the return on its interest and dividend-bearing securities; (b) fees for trustee, secretarial and registration services; (c) underwriting fees; (d) premiums from the issue of share or debenture capital above par, and (e) profits from the sale of its holdings.
(a) The difference between the cost of its capital and the return on its loans has always been the chief source of an investment trust's net income. Its revenue account, therefore, is reasonably independent of the effect of capricious interest changes, or temporary industrial derangement--the former because most of its capital is obtained for several years at a fixed rate, and the latter because the majority of its holdings are in preferred stocks or bonds. There is of course no exact relation between the market value of a trust's investments and its own income from them. Foreign exchange is an important factor in interest and dividends as well as original investment. It may occur that larger dividends from common stock of foreign undertakings are partly cancelled by the weakening of exchange on the country concerned, which follows a period of price inflation, and vice versa.
(b) Investment trusts often act as trustees for debenture holders of other companies, and render miscellaneous services classed under trust company powers in America.

Project Mirai Remix will be the first time the Vocaloid starlet graces 3DS in the West, having already bopped onto PlayStations with the Project Diva series. The most obvious difference between the Diva games and Mirai spinoffs is Miku herself, with the 3DS series presenting her in chibi form. Check out the original Project Mirai 2 in action below the break.
The game is also the latest step in the virtual songstress' plans for world domination. Sega recently revealed her games alone have shipped 2.5 million units in Japan, while across the ocean she's just finished touring as the opening act for Lady Gaga. No, really, it's true.

It was May 1940, in a field outside of Oswiecim, Poland construction began on the Nazi concentration camp that would come to be known as Auschwitz which was built to take aid in the extermination of the Jewish people. The Nazi?s had labeled the Jews as less than human, with no more value than property, and no more rights than animals. The Nazi?s deemed it legal to mercilessly kill them. Five years later, on January 27th 1945, Soviet troops marched through the iron gates of the Auschwitz, into a hell on earth that had claimed over 1 million innocent lives. January 27th is now remembered as International Holocaust Remembrance day.
It was probably a cold morning in Washington D.C. on January 22nd 1973; on that day the United States Supreme made a land mark decision in the ruling of Roe verses Wade and deemed abortion legal laying the foundation for the mass murder of American children by doctors. These children who have no voice, who are still in their mother?s womb, were labeled as less than human, as property with no rights. On the 22nd of January 2013, millions of Americans marked the 40th anniversary of the start of the American Holocaust and mourned the legal murder of over 50 million innocent children.
There are no liberators for the victims of the American Holocaust, for the American people have turned their backs on the most innocent among them in the name of ?rights? and ?convince?. Over 6 million Jews were murdered in the Jewish Holocaust before evil was stopped. Over 50 million children have been murdered to date in the American holocaust, there is no end in sight.

If I were you, I would gather a bunch of crappy 3 or 4M pixel digi P&S that people have thrown away and/or 1CCD low-quality miniDV camecorders to do the project. I have seen similar projects using movie and still cameras but NOT necessarily in the war zone like Iraq. They are usually urban school projects where students get those cheap cameras, go home with them, take the pics of their families, etc to document the everyday life within their communities. It is an essential way to have their voices heard by giving them the media tools, and yeah I think it is a good idea if you can do it also. But how are you going to actually run it if you don't physically get wherever you need to get? I don't think it's too hard to think that you have to be there and meet them first, and let them decide to do it or not. Don't just dump everything on them and let them do the work for you. You have be involved.
Or maybe you might want to plan to run a small workshop for them in the near future about photography, and start from there.

1212 Tasting Notes
I had high hopes for this tea but a) it actually was .98 per 2 oz more than the tin said which made me really mad and b) it doesn't taste nearly as good as its ingredients would lead you to believe.
Anyway I was drawn to it because it's pumpkin and chocolate. I finally figured out how to have pumpkin chai at work (it requires adding espresso, but you don't even notice! Also I just realized how expensive it is if you don't get free drinks. $1.50 for the espresso and $.60 to add the pumpkin, jeez.) so maybe now I need to try chocolate and pumpkin something because this does not do the trick. I made chocolate pumpkin tiramisu for a potluck and THAT was what I was kind of hoping for here, just with more spices.
The second time I had it, I tried it sweetened which made it a lot more chai-like, but it's REALLY missing the damn pumpkin, and the chocolate really doesn't contribute any kind of creaminess so I don't know what its purpose was.
Ok for WEEKS I have been meaning to write tasting notes but I barely drink much tea when at home. I am sooo tired of working omg I've got 30 hours this week and 36 next week! My only day off is Saturday…actually I had Thanksgiving off but working Friday morning ruined that so my family's gonna come down for lunch on Thanksgiving and then we'll eat at home Friday. So I figured they're not coming early enough (or apparently my mom was how dare I make her have to wait for noon) why not take advantage of making 1.5 times my usual pay to stand there and do nothing.
So I have been drinking my pumpkin teas a bunch. This one is still tops in pumpkinland right now. I tried it sweetened with cream but I think I like it just with a little sugar the most. By itself its okay but it is creme brulee so it just needs that to really bring it up to real dessert status.
I'm washing all my dishes that have built up out of wanting to do nothing after work/school so maybe that will make me go drink tea. Also I'm cold. But I keep going and buying stuff at Teavana because my discount is 40% this week ughhhhh
Looks super pretty, but kind of like potpourri.
Tastes exactly like you might imagine steeped potpourri water would taste.
Good to see you drinking tea again :) Scared of trying that one, I cannot imagine how potpourri will taste like when steeped, lol.
nope, cinnamon is far too strong and actually numbs my tongue. I get something oddly floral that just ruins it, otherwise it tastes like cider.
Teavana Champagne Sangria Punch + Cranberry Singapore Sling
I was clothes shopping on Tuesday and the mall was a fruitless endeavor other than tea buying…thank god for my 30% discount cause that sales associate overpoured my 3 teas for a total of 1.7 oz in excess. SERIOUSLY?
I came really just for Champagne Sangria Punch but then the two of us realized we had similar tastes and that's how I ended up with three teas. It was funny because I said "it's a new tea" and he's like "passion berry!" "oh no, I am well aware of Passion Berry…I bought a tin on the day it was in my Starbucks." Well he had already gotten a tin of it from Starbucks too – and I was about 12 miles from home where they don't have Teavana in their stores yet so that was too funny…in fact he already finished his tin and had it with him to refill. SO YEAH you guys, Passion Berry is here and you need it http://www.teavana.com/the-teas/herbal-teas/p/passion-berry-herbal-tea
So this combination is pretty tart. But when I smelled Champagne Sangria Punch it reminded me of Cranberry Singapore Sling. Combined it's pretty fruity, very much like fruit punch but with a little rooibos and a little black tea. I can get the sangria in here but not really the champagne.
This is like my first time making tea in a week it's so sad.
this is two entries in one because I can
I call it: a story of hibiscus – or why do I keep drinking pink things even when no hibiscus is involved?: an autobiography
Teavana Very Berry White + Berry Kiwi Colada
so I went to Teavana just for this berry kiwi one, smelled it, loved it, and then the associate's like "we have a sample on the floor" (THEY CHANGE THEM OUT?? what) and it was with very berry white, and it was amazingly good so I got 2 oz of both because I just found out I can get a 30% discount at Teavana.
then I came home and had some immediately, which I sweetened with some sugar I own for whatever reason. I probably used way too much because it was more berry than anything and I could taste the coconut prior to this. Instead I had hibiscus with some berry. That's ok. This is a heavy mixture and it's not going to take much to run out.
I also ended up just like room temp steeping the rest while I finished the first glass. That one worked a bit better.
Then yesterday I did Raspberry Riot Lemon Mate + Peachberry Jasmine Sutra which turned into an even worse hibiscusy mess but I couldn't for the life of me remember which tea I liked mixing w/Raspberry Riot. OH WELL.
by the way if you like the tea/lemonade mixture at Starbucks I recommend sweetening it with raspberry, I am so addicted. I do the black tea but I was talking w/another barista who does it with passion tea. I also do half the pumps because otherwise it just tastes like raspberry and insulin resistance. And a cute guy gave me it for free today downtown FIST PUMP.
This tea is comparable to Tazo Zen except that it tastes way better. Whenever people get sad when I tell them we don't have Tazo, we have Teavana I am all oh wait till you taste it, trust me here. There's this one guy who would get China Green Tips every morning and he's now exploring other teas haha. He had joked to me he was going to Caribou when I told him on Monday it was the last day for Tazo.
So I think this is pretty much the last of the bunch that I've never had previously, I had opened it so someone who had wanted to order Zen could smell it and she ended up going w/a different tea so I decided not to let it go to waste.
It's definitely lemongrass in here. No doubt about that. I can only taste mint at the end of the sip, it lingers on my tongue even after just having the usual cooling sensation. Also can I say how much I love that it's not just green tea, it's identified as Chun Mee? Yes.
I don't care for it overall, just because it's too much lemongrass for my tastes. At least it hasn't reached that fruit cereal flavor like I sometimes get when there's too much. I'm guessing that's the benefit of mixing lemon verbena in there too.
So I ended up buying a tin of this later on so I could take advantage of double stars. Fun things to note: the tin is really nice, I didn't think it would be like their regular tins but it indeed is. It came sealed in a bag in the tin, complete with an expiration date on the bag of 2/15 (one year eh?). I also thought it didn't look like 2 oz so I weighed it in the bag, then I weighed the bag again after I emptied it…there was 2.11 oz in the bag! How exciting.
For some reason it's much more tart than the stuff I had this morning. I think I probably used a lot more tea though. I've kind of lost the little hint of cinnamon that really made it enjoyable.
If they ever start allowing us to mark out these teas I am in trouble.
I'll add the actual description on Friday when I go to work again. This is one of the new Starbucks specific teas, meant to replace Passion — the iced tea is safe btw but I kind of wish it wasn't, this is WAY better than Passion!
I put one sachet in about 6 oz of water and let it sit until my break. Then I poured it over ice. It's a lot more reminiscent of Kanpe from DavidsTea than Tazo Passion. It's less hibiscusy, and more fruity, with some other fruits in there, plus just a hint of cinnamon. It's not too strong though, for me that's where Kanpe fails.
I'm trying not to buy a tin of this but at $6.30 for a 2 oz tin with my discount I don't think I can resist. I can reward myself for writing a paper right? I'm probably going to go to the Starbucks by home to finish up my paper later since I can't bring myself to write it at home, and now I associate Starbucks with getting things done. I went to one yesterday and wrote 2 entire pages in just about an hour.
Yeah so I haven't been drinking tea AT ALL, I just don't care to even look at cups when I'm not at work even on days off. I just drink water. And beer.
Then, well, things are kind of changing at work. We were all presented with PerfecTea makers the other night. As of today, there are 12 Starbucks with Teavana PYRAMID SACHETS. No more Tazo. I haven't gotten to see them yet so I'm kind of excited to go to work tomorrow. It's kind of funny to get the tea maker, it's honestly just sort of what I needed to get me drinking tea again because it's such a piece of cake if I want iced tea. I gave my knock-off version to my mom awhile ago but I always use it when I visit. I'm so glad to have one again.
So I don't think I've ever had an actual mint julep but I am familiar with bourbon. I do also get that kind of champagne-like flavor in here. I don't mind it, I quite like champagne. I can taste every aspect of this tea, strawberry, spearmint, finished with bourbon.
Definitely very cocktail-like, and it makes me sad I didn't try it sooner because it is an awesome iced tea. And after so many consecutive nights of drinking last week it's quite nice to get the flavors of alcohol without drinking any. It's so refreshing and the flavors are so good. I just guess maybe I wish it wasn't white tea, but perhaps that really has more to do with the fact I want more than what I have.
Are they changing all of the Tazo flavours? I stocked up on Awake when I heard that Starbucks bought Teavana because I was worried they would get rid of it. It is my go to tea when I can't wake up.
Someone texted me around 1pm about switching shifts at work tomorrow so now I don't have to open 5 days in a row! I think maybe people felt bad for me. I really was scheduled for 3 in a row but took on two more to help people out so they could go visit family.
Also it just got randomly cold here, like I had to wear a hoodie to work (and should have yesterday) and just now when I went outside again. I took a nap in a fuzzy blanket and didn't get all sweaty. It's crazy. So now I can have tea to warm myself up early!
I've been wanting to give this one another shot and I finally did. A lower temperature REALLY helped out here. I heated my water to 190 and steeped for 3 minutes. It was supposed to be 2 1/2 but I got distracted, but 3 has worked perfectly.
I mostly taste maple syrup, cinnamon, and butter. I know I was missing butter last time. Not really getting too much toast still but I definitely like it how it is! If this one hasn't worked for you, try a lower temp!

Commonwealth Electoral Roll - Tasmania, 1916
by Tony Swain (QFHS)
at the NAA Cannon Hill, 29 July 2015.
In 1894 the Women's Equal Franchise Association (WEFA) initiated a double petition – one for women to sign and the other for men – which played a key role in galvanising support for the women's suffrage movement across Queensland. A second group of women through the Woman's Christian Temperance Union canvassed support again in 1897.
Through a project organised in a partnership between the late Dr John McCulloch, Dr Deborah Jordan and the Queensland Parliament, and with the contribution of the Queensland Family History Society, these petitions have been digitally transcribed and developed into a database that is available to the public.
A wonderful resource for girls, women, genealogists, and historians both in Queensland and across the globe.

Kiribati Uniting Church
The Kiribati Uniting Church (KUC) (formerly the Kiribati Protestant Church and earlier, the Gilbert Islands Protestant Church) is a united Protestant Christian denomination in Kiribati. With approximately 40,000 members,[1] and 136 congregations,[1] the KUC is the second-largest religious group in Kiribati and accounts for approximately 36 percent of the population of the country.[2]
Protestant missionaries sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions first arrived in Kiribati in 1857, and missionaries from the London Missionary Society arrived in 1870. The Protestant converts were served by visiting Samoan pastors until 1968, when the first general assembly of the Gilbert Islands Protestant Church met to organise an autonomous church. In 1979, when the Gilbert Islands was renamed Kiribati, the church changed its name to the Kiribati Protestant Church.[1] The church was originally established as a Congregationalist denomination.
In 2014, after a Church Bi-annual Assembly (Maungatabu), which was held on the island of Arorae, the Kiribati Protestant Church changed it name to Kiribati Uniting Church. The word "uniting" reflects that the church is now a union of several Protestant denominations in Kiribati, including Congregationalists, Evangelicals, Anglicans, and Presbyterians. The change of the name from KPC to KUC violates Clause 95, 96 and 97 of the KPC/KUC Constitution 2006.
KUC has 209 pastors.[1] The majority of church members are fisherman or copra cutters. Membership is increasing and churches in villages are expanding.[3]
The KUC is a member of the World Council of Churches, the World Communion of Reformed Churches,[4] and the Council for World Mission.[1] The pastors for the KUC are trained at Tangintebu Theological College, which is owned by the church.

Satan Is Dying What should a priest do if he were to find Satan himself laying beaten, bloody, and broken in a ditch? One would think the answer is simple. Any priest should leave the villain to die on the side of the road and be happy at the good fortune of the universe, right? Wrong. A wise priest would stop be the bleeding prince of lies and think for a moment. No Satan means no Hell, another plus. Wait, if there is no Hell there is no damnation. If there is no damnation there is no punishment for sins, then the wise priest begins to realize something that never occurred to him. If fear of Hell is all that holds back sinning, then is the saint unnatural, inhuman and fearful? Is the sinner natural, human, and fearless? Then the priest realizes that he is lying to himself and his very human nature by being a servant of light, no a slave to fear of the dark. Disliking this train of thought, the priest begins to ponder the fallen angel before him. He thinks of all the sins that Satan has committMore Like This

maintaining stubborn impasses, unbudging ideologies.
Falling into rabbit holes, identities of pride.
Every person is a schizophrenic universe inside.
LooperRedemption sucks at the winds of contention,More Like This
lightcast bridge to trance.
Another convention becomes a parent,
reminding nerves they can dance.
Led into the lights of whom?
Of what is being sought?
How can we appreciably see
what we ourselves have wrought?
In PlaceThere's a place that I knowMore Like This
where words do not flow
and ideas become objects
beyond their dimension.
Descriptors fall off
like pieces of cloth,
revealing a shape
beyond apprehension.
This place isn't really a place at all,
if places require definition.
It's a space of unspace
at a time of untime,
and no singular subjection.
There's a place we all go
where winds halt their bellows
and faces fall off into sand.
The lines that defined
all the things in our mind
escape like water from hands.
A part of me that runs on words
shouts and pleads to try and relate.
But I think now that all it is doing
is trying in vain to deny and abate
its in-placeness.

2003 Mercedes Benz CL500 • V8 2WD Automatic • 27,000 miles
I have a 2003 CL500, which I used to get a combined fuel consumption of 15 – 16 l / 100KM, for me with the A/C on almost all times I think this is very acceptable. I went for oil service; I honestly don't know what the oil used before because I bought this car less than 3 months ago, I used Liqui Moly W5 30 which is approved by Mercedes Benz to be used, I changed the oil and the air filters and thats it, nothing more has been done to the car, after that the car fuel consumption becomes 17.5 – 18.5 l / 100KM, need to know what possibly happened. By the way my car is well maintained and did only 43K on the clock. Many thanks in advance.

Check to make sure no vacuum hoses were accidently knocked off or damaged. Make sure no sensors were left disconnected.

I just bought a 2004 Ford Focus ZTS with a 2.3 Liter I4 PZEV motor - according to the Owners Guide. These engines seem to only have a air filter sensor instead of the option to replace...
