Remember Me
Starr Williams (lead singer) started putting the band together last August (2007) from an idea that GodZ n' GunZ former bass player, Glenn Curtis had. He told Starr, she had a great voice and should use that talent to put a tribute band together. After several suggestions, Fleetwood Mac came main stage. Starr put out the word about the band and everyone started wanting to jump aboard. She looked mostly in the local area for artists that had the same interest and eventually DreamZ came to fruition. The idea was thought to be so good, that Glenn Curtis later joined the band. Starr decided that a Fleetwood Mac tribute band would allow for other great talent to be showcased, as well as her own.
Each veteran player brings their spirit to recreate, with incredible authenticity, the sound and feel of Fleetwood Mac. With the solo hits of Stevie Nicks as part of the show, the harmonies and instrumentation and on-stage chemistry surprise and captivate audiences all over. Starr, being a sound tech for 7 years at Emerald Productions, makes sure the shows run smooth. Starr brings to life the vocal style and look of Stevie Nicks. In fact, she is often called a dead ringer for Stevie (although Starr does not see that but loves wearing the outfits).
Pouring every ounce of energy into all their vocals, DreamZ holds the audiences attention everywhere they play. The great harmonies along with the stage energy make them a no miss in concert. Glenn Curtis on Bass, is a very experience player and has written and won songwritting contests. He has been in plethora of very popular bands like 7 Ten, GodZ N' GunZ, and Premonition. Glenn helps hold down the signature John McVie style. Drummer, Jason Martin, masters Mick Fleetwood's driving rhythms to perfection. Jason helps to fully recreate the bursting intensity of Fleetwood Mac. Jason has played in quite a few popular local bands, such as Musical Saw Cobblestone Wine Starlight Motel. Jason's strengths include being a drum teacher currently teaching at Ribinos in Merrillville, IN. He also has a background jazz. Lead Guitarist, Danny Clay is also a talent to be reckoned with. He puts licks together like no other making it sound like he is playing two guitars-- Lindsey Buckingham would be proud. Danny's background includes: Chasing Fear, Sanities Edge, and Undertow. He plays rifts as good as Steve Vie (who is one of his mentors). Keyboardist Bob Baldwin, whom sat in with some of the other top bands in the region, was asked to join the group. He does not have Christy McVie's looks or female voice, but with his great keystrokes and own very distinct voice, he adds to the vocal harmonies and completes the Fleetwood Mac sound.
Starr has been writing lyrics for most of her life, with some number one hits under her belt she wrote for other artist. She has written over 800 songs and is finishing a book of 1000 songs and poems. The whole group has great talent in song writing and together they are putting originals together to play in the local clubs. Additionally, they will be putting a CD out of their works collectively as a band and individually to showcase each songwriter's talent.
Although some of the original members have changed, the line-up has placed DreamZ as one of the top bands in the region. They now do justice to classic rock songs from all of our favorite eras, along with Fleetwood Macs biggest hits. Not only does DreamZ play Fleetwood Mac, they also play a wide range of music from the 70's to today. Some to mention are, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Heart, Led Zeppelin and so much more. If they are in your area, come out and enjoy the evening and be ready to dance. It is always a packed dance floor at one of the DreamZ shows. With new dance tunes from The Cars, Cheap Trick, The Smithereens, Bon Jovi, Robert Palmer, T-Rex, Blondie, REO, Journey, 3 Doors Down, Melissa Etheridge, INXS, Talking Heads, Billy Squire, Led Zepplin, Tina Turner and Janice Joplin to name a few, you will be sure to hear something you like.
Each one of the players have their own My Space accounts and you can add them as your friend and read up on their own personal histories.

A small equestrian statue on a gilded wooden base. The Spanish king, Carlos II (1661-1700) wears epic clothing of Roman character, holding a scepter in his right hand and the reins of his horse in the left. His heroic and powerful posture is strengthened by the rearing position of his steed.
Foggini made various sketches for this work, which he modeled after the Baroque bronze artist, Pietro Tacca's statue of Fernando I of Medici, which is in Livorno. The present work, in turn, was a model for the statues of Carlos III made by the artist's sons, Vincenzo and Giulio Foggini.

CHATHAM — Rescuers responded at 11:32 a.m. Tuesday to a plane that had skidded off the runway at the Chatham Municipal Airport, according to fire and police officials. The pilot, James Ford, 51, of Orleans, was not injured, and there were no passengers in the plane, the police said.
The airport at 240 George Ryder Road was closed for about 30 minutes as a result of the incident, and the Federal Aviation Administration will conduct an investigation, police Lt. Michael Anderson stated in a press release.
The 1974 Cessna 172M fixed-wing, single-engine plane was performing a touch-and-go landing when during take-off it skidded about 300 feet and hit trees off the east side of the airport, Anderson said. The undercarriage and wings of the plane were damaged but there was no fuel spilled.
The airport reopened at 12:07 p.m. , the police said.

Police say they found the home of James Holmes, the man accused of carrying out a deadly shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, "set up to kill."
Officers were finally able to enter the third-floor apartment today with the assistance of federal explosives experts, the Denver Post reported.
They had to disarm one device and destroy another in a controlled explosion.
More from GlobalPost: Eyewitness account of Aurora shooting
The apartment contained dozens of home-made booby-traps constructed from liquid explosives, chemical, powders and bullets, according to the Washington Post.
Whoever planted them apparently wanted to "kill and maim any first responders or anyone that came in there," a law enforcement official told the paper.
Police were able to photograph the inside of the apartment yesterday using a camera attached to a pole and inserted through a window.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters that he had never seen anything like it, according to CBS News.
More from GlobalPost: Where does Obama stand on gun control?
Holmes, 24, was taken into custody in a parking lot behind the movie theater where he allegedly shot 70 people, at least 12 of them fatally, early Friday morning.
He warned police that his apartment contained explosives, but since then is said to have stopped cooperating with authorities. He also reportedly calls himself "the Joker."
Former classmates and neighbors told NBC News they remembered Holmes as a quiet, intelligent and unassuming person.
Police have refused to comment on any possible motive. They say that, in the past 60 days, Holmes had purchased four guns and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition, Reuters reported.
Holmes is due to appear in court on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, several hundred people held a candlelit vigil last night opposite the scene of the shooting, according to the Denver Post. Watch the video below:

Back in June, it became clear that the class of 2010 had some of the worst employment outcomes of the last 20 years. We knew this because of the way NALP categorized its data, differentiating between jobs that require and don't require bar passage, and between full-time and part-time jobs. But apparently the American Bar Association isn't interested in helping people understand these outcomes on a school-by-school basis. The ABA doesn't want you to know how schools fared in finding full-time legal employment for graduates of the class of 2010….

I've thrown off all the boxes that define me. I have sexy wild side, a boring nerdy side, and a reclusive anti-social side. I've decided that I don't have to disown everything wild and interesting about myself. I'm a feminist who likes porn and dressing like a whore. I'm a mom and sometimes it make me want to jump out a window or crawl under a rock. Other times it is like looking into the face of God. I'm philosopher, a sometimes poet, theologian, navel-gazer, consumerist, bourgeois, frivolous hypocrite. And that's fine. I don't have to make sense to anyone but myself. I'm discovering that actually makes sense to a lot of people!
I have always been a kind of nerdy girl, interested in social justice, spirituality, religion, sexuality, gender, literacy education, literature - that kind of good stuff. I like to write. It used to be poetry and stories, now it's mostly journals and blogs. I'm a PhD student studying education from a critical sexuality studies lens. I have some learning quirks though so if spelling errors or trouble with names makes you nutty, we're probably not the best match.
I am nerdy, sensual, and obsequious

This is cake is perfect for a potluck, which is exactly why I made this recently. Hence, the ugly disposable pan.
One other little tid-bit...my favorite way to enjoy this cake is: warm out of the oven and.....drum roll...a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Oh lawdy it's good.
1 can cherry pie filling
1 yellow cake mix
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 sticks butter
I sprinkle a little sugar on top of the cherry pie filling. It's not in the recipe, but my mom told me too!
Next, dump the cake mix in and gently spread.
I wish I had made two of these. You have no idea how hard it was not to grab a spoon and the vanilla ice cream. Since it was a potluck and all, I figured I better restrain myself.

Film: Hanzo the Razor
Hanzo the Razor is a trilogy of films based on Kazuo Koike's manga Goyokibe. Like most of Koike's works, it is dynamically violent and exploitative, but very enjoyable.Hanzo Itami is a good cop in Edo Japan, foiling nefarious plots by corrupt officials. His greatest weapon in getting information is his other blade.
Hanzo the Razor provides examples of the following tropes:
- Anachronism Stew: Many of the magistrates wear glasses, and the aesthetics of the movie overall are very 70s, right down to the soundtracks by famed composer Isao Tomita and Psychedelic Rock musician and record producer Kunihiko Murai.
- Anti-Hero: Hanzo is a type III, being willing to gain access to information with rather nasty methods.
- Dirty Cop: Magobei Onishi, heck most of the officers in Edo Japan could be considered such, even our hero Hanzo.
- End of an Age: The second film seems to signal the film trilogy takes place in the very end of the Edo era.note
- Exalted Torturer: Hanzo Itami, who was formerly the page's picture.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Using clever camera trickery, Hanzo's methods of strengthening his... member can be shown. How Eirin didn't go nuts at this is anyone's guess.
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: IN EDO JAPAN!
- Gorn: Like most Kazuo Koike works.
- Gray and Gray Morality: Is Hanzo just as bad as the murderers and thieves he puts away?
- Kavorka Man: Shintaro Katsu isn't exactly the most attractive man, being slightly overweight...
- Rape as Redemption: A major trope in the series.
- Recycled IN SPACE!: It's Shaft IN EDO JAPAN.
- The Rival: Magobei Onishi, who Hanzo hates ("Snake Magobei!") for being a jackass who takes bribes and has affairs with women.

Hi all,
My wife and I are heading to Florida next month (from the UK) and were thinking about doing some bike riding. We're staying on the gulf coast near St Pete's beach.
So I have two questions:
1. Ideas for where we can pick up two cheap bikes that we can use and abuse for two weeks and then leave behind i.e. under $50 each (we figured that hiring for two weeks would be stupid)
2. What are the road laws in Florida around cycling? If we're on a road on the coast (e.g. Gulf Blvd) should we be on the roads or stick to the sidewalks?
Cheers, Chris

- Promote Peace As A LiFeStyle
- Youth Mentorships that Incorporate Peace Practices and Self Esteem Building to Help Develop Teens and Young Adults into Peer Leaders.
- Provide young people with the tools and resources that promote critical thinking, self-empowerment and personal accountability
- Build partnerships between public and private sectors to respond collectively, collaboratively and holistically to the issue of youth violence
- Create a model for reducing violence that will provide stakeholders with the necessary skills and resources to effectively implement positive change within their own communities
7 Days.
January 15 – 22, 2014 marks the 5th annual NY Peace Week, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's legacy of non-violence. Organized by LIFE Camp, Inc., the collective goal is to create a culture of peace throughout NYC for 7 days by hosting an event, performing an activity or simply taking one personal action toward creating inner peace and setting a positive example for youth.
NY Peace Week's theme and messaging is: #PeaceIsALIFEStyle. Youth and celebrity ambassadors will blog, tweet and post user generated content for 7 days, sharing experiences that reinforce this year's theme and messaging.
1 Voice.
Peace Week galvanizes the efforts of entertainers, cultural icons, government leaders, educators, athletes and community based organizations to host an event or lend their voice to the message of peace.
1.5 Million NYC Teens & Young Adults
NY Peace Week targets 18 -25 year old tech-savvy, socially active teens, college students and young adults throughout the NY Tri-State Area who are influenced by pop culture and multi-media. Via events and digital platforms, NY Peace Week will also encourage peer leadership and role modeling among this demo, for youth under age 18 who are looking to them for examples.
Why Peace Week?
Homicide is the leading cause of death among NYC youth. One in ten NYC teens report not going to school because of feeling unsafe at school or on their way to school. Many NYC youth are measuring their lives in 2 – 5 year cycles, not believing that they will survive beyond the next 5 years. Proceeds from funds raised during NY Peace week will go toward summer programs and activities for NYC youth, to provide positive alternatives to youth violence and other forms of negative behavior.

McCoy completes 55/55 passes at Pro Day
There are two primary reasons why Colt McCoy completed a staggering 70% of his passes in 2009.
For one, the Texas offense was primarily asked him to throw short to intermediate routes.
Secondly, McCoy is simply an accurate passer who throws a very catchable ball.
McCoy's passing prowess was on display in Austin today as scouts from 30 different teams were on hand to see him throw. McCoy, of course, had been unable to throw at the Combine or participate in any of the post-season all-star games due to the shoulder injury he suffered in the National Championship game.
According to scouts in attendance, McCoy threw the ball with better zip than expected, popping receivers' hands on crossing routes. His deep balls had a tendency to sail a bit, but because his passes are thrown with such tight spirals, their trajectory is easy for receivers to track and collect. He completed all 55 of his passes, throwing to former teammates Jordan Shipley, Nate Jones and Quan Cosby, as well as former Texas standout Brian Carter. Texas offensive coordinator scripted the workout, which featured McCoy taking snaps from center, doing play-action and attempting more long passes than he was typically asked to throw with the Longhorns.
Scouts on hand were impressed with McCoy's workout and felt that he solidified his stock as an early to mid second round choice.
---- I noted in a previous blog posting that Jordan Shipley was enjoying a strong Pro Day performance. He shaved a full tenth of a second off his 40-yard dash time from the Combine by running a 4.53 in Austin and also recorded a 36.5" vertical jump.

4.53-4.69 seconds for Bryant in the 40-yard dash
I'm starting to get some feedback from Dez Bryant's Pro Day workout, and as scouts expected , he's timed in slower than what most fans would normally associate with a first round wide receiver.
According to a scout at the workout, he timed the 6-2, 220 pound Bryant at 4.56 seconds in the receiver's first attempt. Bryant was much slower moments later (4.69 seconds) on his second attempt. Due to the large gulf in times, Bryant ran a third time -- recording his fastest time (4.53 seconds).
Bryant dropped three balls early in the workout, but also made some impressive grabs in which his trademark body control was put to the test.
The workout has gone "about as expected" according to the scout.
While I noted in a previous blog entry that scouts expected these times, the media speculation that Bryant was the "best receiver prospect since Calvin Johnson" and hyperbole like that has created some assumptions about his overall athleticism. Bryant is a big play threat due to his size, strength and leaping ability. He has never demontrated elite straight-line speed on film.
However, the perception for many was that he'd run very fast and re-emerge as a top ten prospect. Based on his marginal times and concerns over his maturity, Bryant remains very much a wildcard for the first round. His production warrants top ten consideration, but I've spoken to many scouts who feel he'll ultimately be drafted in the late first round. In fact, I've spoken to scouts who feel he'll slip out of the first round entirely.
For those that feel he'll slip to the second, today's marginal workout only provided more ammunition.

Realistic expectations for Dez Bryant's Pro Day
While at Sam Bradford's Pro Day yesterday, I spoke with many scouts, coaches and league executives about Dez Bryant's workout today. Every team I spoke to yesterday (about a dozen) planned to simply continue their trip from Norman to Lufkin, Texas for Bryant's workout and on to Austin Wednesday for Texas' Pro Day.
Scouts had varied expectations for Bryant today.
One scout, who loves Bryant's athleticism and has compared his leaping and YAC ability to Randy Moss on several occasions in the past, felt that Bryant is nonetheless going to put forth a less than eye-popping time in the 40-yard dash.
Said the scout, "I've heard talk that he's going to run in the low 4.4s or even faster. If he does, that'll help surprise me. He's not that fast on film. He's more of a 4.55 guy, but he's like [Anquan] Boldin in that way; his straight-line speed is misleading."
The scout did expect Bryant to look "very good" running routes and catching the ball.

Former USF coach Jim Leavitt with Oklahoma?
Besides the dozens of NFL executives, head coaches and scouts on hand to watch Sam Bradford's Pro Day yesterday, there were several other surprising onlookers.
Former teammate Gerald McCoy (and his father) were on hand. So too was former OU star and current Baltimore Raven Mark Clayton. Each were there to lend support to Bradford and Oklahoma for obvious reasons.
Former South Florida head coach Jim Leavitt, however, was also in attendance and does not have a natural allegiance I was aware of.
Upon noticing him, casually dressed and chatting amicably with league personnel, I made a mental note to talk to him. Once Bradford began throwing, however, I lost track of Leavitt.
Until that is about an hour later when I saw him dressed in full Oklahoma regalia, jogging on campus. Oklahoma crimson t-shirt, shorts, the whole deal.
I only happened to see Leavitt running because I skipped out early from the press conference held by Bradford and Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops. Those media members who had been there only for Bradford's workout were long gone. Those that stayed for the press conference were inside Memorial Stadium listening to Bradford and Stoops.
If it has been announced that Leavitt has signed with Oklahoma in some capacity, I don't know of it. A simple internet search turned up nothing of a connection between Leavitt and the Sooners except for conjecture that Leavitt might be a coach of interest for the Sooners considering that he coached with Stoops and defensive coordinator Brett Venables at Kansas State. Leavitt is not currently listed among the Sooners' 13 football coaches according to SoonerSports.com. I contacted a handful of NFL personnel on hand for yesterday's workout to confirm that they, too, had seen Leavitt there. They had, but knew nothing of his connection with the Sooners.
Leavitt is currently in a legal battle with USF regarding his pay and whether his termination was "with" or "without" cause. Leavitt is suing USF and the USF Foundation for exoneration of inappropriate contact with a former player and the remainder of his 7 million dollar contract. Leavitt was accused of grabbing former walk-on Joel Miller by the throat and slapping him in the face. The school investigated and decided to fire Leavitt in January.

Live from Bradford Pro Day -- link to coverage
I apologize for the absence of blog updates yesterday, but I spent virtually most of the day shuffling through airports and cramped airlines.
This morning, however, I've woken up to sun, calm skies and the promise of Sam Bradford's Pro Day workout in just a few hours.
I've spoken to a couple of league personnel in town already and asked them what they'll be looking for in today's workout.
The broadcast begins at 10:45 CT.

LB rising, OT falling from Pro Days
In scouting hundreds of players each year it is impossible not to develop a few favorites. These aren't necessarily the best athletes or the most productive players. For me, they are guys who play with supreme intensity, technique or durability.
Two of my favorites this year -- Miami offensive tackle Jason Fox and Arizona State linebacker Travis Goethel -- had nearly polar opposite results in highly anticipated Pro Day workouts Friday.
Fox, a 47 game starter for the Hurricanes, had a lot riding on his workout as he was unable to perform in any of the senior all-star games or the Combine due to undergoing a minor procedure on his left knee. He pulled his hamstring 3/4 of the way through his first attempt at the 40-yard dash. Though he tried to gut it out through positional drills, the injury was obviously bothering him, according to scouts in attendance. All 32 teams were represented at Miami's Pro Day.
While the inability to finish the workout is no doubt troubling for Fox (according to reports, he did not want to speak with reporters following the workout), teams that stay true to the mantra of focusing on film will know what this kid can do. He may not have the athleticism to warrant a first or perhaps even second round selection, but he's a reliable technician that can play the game -- whether at left tackle, or perhaps inside at left guard.
While Fox struggled, Goethel took advantage of the attention. Goethel, 6-3, 240 pounds, started 41 of 50 games over his career, but rarely got the attention he deserved with the Sun Devils, only gaining all-conference accolades as a senior (and it was honorable mention honors, at that).
I love the way this kid plays the game, however. Posssessing a combination of physicality and instincts, he is a classic special teams demon at worst and a potential surprise starter. I had reservations about his pure speed, but, according to a scout in attendance, Goethel impressed Friday with a pair of 4.60s in the 40-yard dash, a 4.54 time in the short shuttle and a 6.91 in the 3-cone -- all of which shaved about 3/10s of a second from his times recorded at the Combine. The scout was also sure to note that the performance was on grass, which is all the more impressive, as this surface generally is not as conducive to fast times as a track or turf.

Three small-schoolers help cause at Pro Day
Sometimes the small school prospects can get a bit lost in the shuffle of a busy Pro Day week. These are three players from relatively small schools, however, that are creating some buzz with scouts.
William and Mary pass rusher Adrian Tracy was the big name on campus -- so much so that I highlighted him back in November in our PDF Draft Slant -- but it was his former teammate, defensive tackle Sean Lissemore who impressed scouts at their recent Pro Day. The 6-3, 297 pounder was twice timed in the low 4.8s in the 40-yard dash, 4.27 in the short shuttle and a 7.57 in the 3-cone drill. He also showed good explosiveness with a 30" vertical jump, 9'3" broad jump and lifting the bar 26 times. Lissemore is hardly a workout warrior. He earned first team all-conference honors with 66 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and two interceptions as a senior. He also stood out at the Texas vs. Nation practices. Lissemore has already gained the interest of several clubs, having set up private visits with the Arizona, Atlanta, Jacksonville, both New York clubs, and Seattle.
Western Illinois cornerback Patrick Stoudamire, Jr. took advantage of another opportunity to work out for scouts at the Northern Illinois Pro Day Friday. Stoudamire, who earned first-team all Gateway conference honors each of the past three seasons and never gave up a touchdown reception, had previously helped his cause with a solid performance at the East-West Shrine game. He was among the highest rated prospects by NFLDraftScout.com who was not invited to the Combine. Friday, however, the 5-10, 207 pounder showed the speed (4.43), explosiveness (31.5" vertical) and fluidity in positional drills to warrant a late round selection. He's already scheduled several visits with clubs. The Cardinals, Bears, Colts and Saints seemed to be the most interested during his NIU workout.
Every year there is a D-III prospect that earns a late round selection or makes a club as an undrafted free agent. This year that prospect may be Christopher Newport running back Tunde Ogun .
Ogun burst onto the scene as a junior with 1,794 yards and 16 touchdowns, earning All-American honors. A partially torn meniscus suffered in the season-opener, however, limited Ogun to only 959 yards and 10 scores (in 10 games).
No one can say Ogun isn't dedicated to showing scouts what he can do. Not only did he play through the injury all season long, over the past month, he's traveled to three different Pro Day workouts. His best performance came Wednesday. Ogun, 6-0, 219 pounds was timed at 4.52 in the 40-yard dash, 4.24 in the short shuttle, 11.50 in the long shuttle and 6.92 in the 3-cone. He also posted a 30" vertical, 9'1" broad jump and lifted the bar 22 times.

Topological quantum computation is based on the possibility of the realization of some TQFTs in Nature as topological phases of quantum matter. Theoretically, we would like to classify topological phases of matter, and experimentally, find non-abelian objects in Nature. We will discussion some progress for a general audience.
In this talk we will discuss how C*-algebras can be identified and characterised in terms of certain cosheaves with self-action. The reason we are interested in such a study is it to try and give a rigorous mathematical derivation of the axioms of quantum theory. In particular, many of the standard axioms for C*-algebras have unclear physical and operational meaning, but by defining an equivalence of categories between C*-algebras and cosheaves with self-action, we believe that these axioms can acquire a clear operational meaning.
I will describe entanglement entropy of a cap-like region for a generic quantum field theory residing in the Bunch-Davies vacuum on de Sitter space. Entanglement entropy in this setup is identical with the thermal entropy in the static patch of de Sitter, and it is possible to derive a simple relation between the vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor trace and the RG flow of entanglement entropy. In particular, renormalization of the cosmological constant and logarithmic divergence of the entanglement entropy are interrelated in this setup.

The loan they are taking out will benefit the small businesses of which Aydee is a member. She mentions that she has been a part of Pro Mujer for two years and was invited by a friend who is a member of the institution. Currently she has a business in seasonal product sales. She says that she learned this business because she used to watch the way her friends sold these products. With a little capital that she acquired from Pro Mujer, she started an independent business.
The loan that they are taking out now will be used to increase capital (buy umbrellas wholesale) that she will acquire from wholesale distributors in the city of El Alto. She will then sell the items upon request. This type of work allows her to make an income to support her family as she is single and has three children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she responds that she likes the health services that the institution offers.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Aydee es integrante, ella indica que hace dos años que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de artículos según la temporada; da a conocer que este negocio lo aprendió porque anteriormente observaba a sus amigas la forma de comercialización de estos productos, con un pequeño capital adquirido en Pro Mujer emprende un negocio independiente.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de paraguas por mayor) que adquirirá de los distribuidores mayoristas de la cuidad de El Alto y posteriormente lo comercializará a pedido. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar a su familia, ya que ella es soltera y tiene tres hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el área de salud que ofrece la institución.

Whenever I hear the word "correctness" in relation to the Liturgy, I think of Christ's condemnation of the Pharisees for strict adherence to empty tradition. I also remember Latin Masses in front of bored or mystified parishioners who couldn't participate fully even if they wanted to. Do you? What is the sense of the sacred when people are dozing off, praying the rosary, discussing last night's movie in between snatches of explanation of where we are now in the Missalette? When the celebrant says to me in my native language, "This is My body........." I am transformed by the words. I don't need the sound of a traditional bell to remind me to pay attention.
My experience, as I mentioned, has been longer than yours and I've been pre-and post the changes brought in by John XXIII. Last time I looked, no "truths" were either violated or discarded by the modest modernization carried out by the Vatican II documents. In fact, today we are closer to true Liturgical correctness due to the dedication of scholars who really understand the language of the early Church and have truth as their motivation; no one is translating what he thinks we should hear, according to his opinion of what Christ should have said and what the translator wanted Him to say. AND, we can hear it in a language we understand anywhere in the world. Moral decline stays pretty much the same - consider the Dark Ages period of history and compare it with modern times- war, conquest, murder, and destruction did not emerge full-grown from the forhead of modern times. It's obvious we are no longer taught history. Men will always allow evil to overcome them at some point; that's why we have been redeemed.
I wonder, often, what "truths" Traditionalists are afraid of losing........... "permissiveness" is usually the backlash of injustice or indifference; that's how we as imperfect beings react. Those who want to see better behavior should behave better. I don't attend Mass and remain a practicing Catholic due to "appeal" and the kind of fundamentalism I see lately should scare everyone. It sure scares me. How appalling to contemplate the unthinkable; a stagnant faith proclaimed in a dead language to the uncomprehending . Can anyone in his or her right mind think this is what Christ wants for His living Church? I'll bet the Hebrew forefathers considered Christianity to be "watered down" - what do you mean we don't stone offenders to death any more?? Tradition.........
To anyone who really knows history, there has been moral decline in the last 50-60 years with regard to some very important foundational issues. These include the value of individual life, ( as shown by greater acceptance of abortion and euthanasia ), sexual morality, and the value of marriage. Yes, it is true that society has gotten better in other ways. But the idea that society and/or the Church is always progressing for the better is false historically. I think it also disregards the way Satan works. The Enemy always tries to find new ways to bring society down and always tries to find new ways to bring individuals down too. I believe in Vatican II and in no way am I nostalgic for "good old days" (they never really existed). But those who focus on the value of traditions and on the objective teachings of the Church do not deserve to be compared to Pharisees or slaveholders. It is not fair.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When one of the nine women in his limousine complained about smoke, Orville Brown pulled to the side of a San Francisco Bay bridge to check. As he got out, the back of the vehicle became engulfed in flames.
