PEORIA, Ariz. (Jan.
26, 2011) – The city will host a series of meetings in late January and
early February to encourage public involvement in redrawing Peoria's City
Council districts.
After each census, the
city is required to adjust its district boundaries to ensure roughly equal
population in each district. Peoria's rapid growth during the last decade
guarantees that the districts will look much different than they do now.
City officials will
hold a public meeting in each district on the following schedule:
Acacia District –
Wednesday, Jan. 26, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., City Hall Pine Room, 8401 W. Monroe St.
Pine District –
Wednesday, Jan. 26, 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Sun Valley Elementary School
library, 8361 N. 95th Ave.
Palo Verde District –
Monday, Feb. 7, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Oasis Elementary School library, 7841 W.
Sweetwater Ave.
Willow District –
Monday, Feb. 7, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Oakwood Elementary School library,
12900 N. 71st Ave.
Ironwood District –
Wednesday, Feb. 9, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Desert Harbor Elementary School library,
15585 N. 91st Ave.
Mesquite District –
Wednesday, Feb. 9, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Sunrise Mountain Library, 21109 N.
98th Ave.
At each meeting, city
officials will discuss the redistricting process and ask for residents'
thoughts. There also will be time for questions and answers. Folks who are
unsure about which is their district can consult an interactive map at
Peoria and its
demographic consultant are using input received at these meetings, as well as
from stakeholder interviews and citizen kits, to develop alternatives they can
present to citizens in April or May – and to the City Council in June. The city
must send its preferred option to the federal Justice Department for approval.
"We encourage and
desire citizen participation in this process," says City Attorney Steve Kemp.
"This is a very open and transparent process in Peoria, and we encourage people
to get involved."
Districts must be
contiguous and compact, and they must keep together communities with strong
identities, such as Desert Harbor or Vistancia. These considerations present
some challenges for Peoria, given the city's length from north to south and its
narrow neck between Bell and Beardsley roads.
Under the Voting Rights
Act of 1965, Arizona is one of 17 states in which redistricting decisions also
must protect the ability of minority voters to influence the electoral process.
The Acacia District, for example, is a minority-influence district, which means
city officials will have to demonstrate that they have done all they can to
retain the same proportion of Hispanic residents in the district. This could be
a significant challenge, considering that many in Acacia's Hispanic population
have prospered and moved on over the years.
Peoria's redistricting
plan is unlikely to receive approval from the Justice Department until late this
year. Council packets for the 2012 election, which are expected to be made
available in mid-2011, will be based upon the Council-approved redistricting
plan, even though that plan is subject to change. City Council seats for the
Ironwood, Mesquite and Willow districts are up for election in 2012.
Residents who would
like to have their names added to a "Citizen Redistricting Contact List," or who
would like more information about the process, can contact the City Clerk's
Office (623-773-7340 or
firstname.lastname@example.com) or visit

|List of episodes
Simplified list of episodes
"Banned in Bikini Bottom" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season five. In this episode, Krabby Patties are banned from Bikini Bottom.
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Eugene H. Krabs
- Sheldon J. Plankton
- Patrick Star
- Squidward Tentacles
- Ms. Gristlepuss (debut)
- Miss Gristle-Puss's Sisters

While SpongeBob is making Krabby Patties, he sings a song about how much he loves them, but stops in the middle and, while Squidward is stacking cups (in the form of a triangle), he yells the rest of the song out loud, annoying Miss Gristlepuss and causing Krabby Patties to be banned. Mr. Krabs causes the Krusty Krab to be closed by threatening Ms. Gristle Puss with a French fry strainer and calling her a disgusting old prune. Meanwhile, Plankton at first thinks Mr. Krabs changed the name to "The Closed Krab," but soon figured out he could take advantage of the moment and went out to celebrate. Mr. Krabs's archenemy soon discovered in surprise that the Krusty Krab has secretly been reopened at SpongeBob's Pineapple. He threatens Patrick who was asking Plankton for the "password" while finding that his threats make up the password. While Krabs was checking for cops, he goes to check on SpongeBob who was afraid of becoming arrested for making an illegal product. Mr. Krabs forces SpongeBob to work otherwise there would be weekends off. Plankton discovers Krabs is doing his regular business "under the table" and calls the cops. In the blink of an eye, they arrive to clean up the Krabby Patties and arrest the employees. Miss Gristlepuss trips and a Krabby Patty dropped into her mouth which made her love the sandwich and forgave the Krusty Crew. Again, Plankton's plans failed and he hides inside one of the Krabby Patties only to be eaten by Ms. Gristlepuss.

• Hawaiian Trax - Sage Guyton, Jeremy Wakefield [ending]
- This episode is available on the WhoBob WhatPants?, Season 5 Volume 2, Complete 5th Season, and The First 100 Episodes DVDs.
- This is the third time where the episode ends when "The End" is shown. The first two was in I Had an Accident and Wishing You Well. The fourth will be in Planet of the Jellyfish.
- She says her name is Miss Gretel Puss, but SpongeBob, Squidward, Karen, and Mr. Krabs call her "Miss Gristlepuss"
- In the credits and TV Guide description, Mrs. Gretel Puss is called 'Miss Priss'.
- This episode was set to premiere with "The Battle of Bikini Bottom" but aired with "Stanley S. SquarePants" instead.
- When SpongeBob is under his table, Mr. Krabs says he'll make SpongeBob take weekends off if he doesn't continue cooking Krabby Patties, but in SB-129, he is off on Sunday, which is the weekend. Mr. Krabs must have meant the entire weekends.
- The episode alludes to the Prohibition Era, with the Krabby Patties representing alcohol and the secret Krusty Krab representing a Speakeasy.
- Mrs. Gretel Puss's husband strongly resembles Duke Nukem.
- Also, Miss Gretel Puss's husband say "Hello, This is Al G.", which sounds like algae.
- This is the 100th episode in the series.
- Miss Gretel Puss is voiced by SCTV alumna Andrea Martin.
- The police can't make a food illegal, as the police only enforce the law. It is the government that makes the laws. And even then it would take some time to get it passed (if it is even passed). While here, it only took one day to pass.
- Mr. Krabs calls the cash register "Betsy" in this episode, but in SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One, and Sponge-Cano! he calls it "Cashy"
- If one were selling an illegal product in secret, it would be a dead-give away with a banner at the location in plan view.
- Even though she calls herself Miss Gretel Puss, she should be called Mrs. Gretel Puss, because she's married.
- SpongeBob had a watch when Krabs was standing outside the Krusty Krab, saying that Krabs was standing there for four days. It is possible he had a stopwatch or digital watch.
- The Galley Grub wasn't seen in the Secret Krusty Krab. A probable explanation was that Mr. Krabs didn't have time to write another one after his original one was still locked in the Krusty Krab.
- Harold was seen outside the pineapple when Plankton hears his "shoving" conversation, but he was found waiting in line inside the Secret Krusty Krab.
- The Secret Krusty Krab most likely made a rule in which there is a limit of customers present within the building.
- Patrick and Squidward weren't seen being arrested when the police arrived at the Secret Krusty Krab. Maybe it's because they weren't making Krabby Patties.
Cultural References
- A banner in SpongeBob's house says "Keep it secret. Keep it safe." This is a reference to a line said by Gandalf the Grey in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
- When Squidward said "Do you want to 'Secret Size' that for $2 more" is a parody of McDonalds and their policy of allowing their customers to 'Super Size' their meal for more money.
- In reality, Miss. Gretel Puss has no power of shutting down the Krusty Krab and banning Krabby Patties only for the reason of it being "Fun and Delicious", even if her husbend is Chief of Police. They must have a better reason like it being poisonous for it being banned. But, if the previous is true, and the KK is still shut down, they can be arrested for false accusations.
- When Mrs. Gretelpuss meets Mr. Krabs, his belt is missing. In the next shot, he was wearing his belt.
- When SpongeBob is singing his song about Krabby Patties, the patties on the stove disappear.
- When Plankton asked Harold and Nat what was going on, he was wearing a suit. When he went up to SpongeBob's door and talked to Patrick, his suit was gone.
- When Mr. Krabs went to the cash register to Squidward for misbehaving at Mrs. Gretel Puss and her crew, he was behind the boat and his body was overlapping the register.
- When the Secret Krusty Krab was found by cops, SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs are handcuffed, but when Mrs.Gretel Puss accidentally falls down and eats a Krabby Patty, SpongeBob's handcuffs disappear.

Paranormal Obsession: America's Fascination with Ghosts & Hauntings, Spooks & Spirits, by Deonna Kelli Sayed
From the publisher's website: Ghosts and ghouls, demons, poltergeists, phantoms, haunted houses, and shadow people—why is America so captivated by the creepy and unexplained? Paranormal Obsession is the first book to explore why we have an insatiable interest in spirits, ghost hunting, and all things otherworldly.
Paranormal investigator and researcher Deonna Kelli Sayed reveals how and why our fascination with spirits started. She interviewed ghost hunters, religious figures, scientists, academics, and cast members of the popular TV shows Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State, and offers compelling insight into what our fixation on ghostly activity says about American culture. Paranormal Obsession also highlights the author's paranormal group's investigation of the USS North Carolina, the most haunted battleship in the United States.
Deonna Kelli Sayed is a Muslim-American paranormal investigator with Haunted North Carolina (HNC). She lectures on many issues, from women in Islam to the paranormal, and has lived and conducted studies throughout Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. She is the host of Think Tank, a forum on LiveParanormal.com, and is an editor and contributor to GhostVillage.com.

F.C.S. Schiller and the Dawn of Pragmatism: The Rhetoric of a Philosophical Rebel, by Mark J. Porrovecchio
From the publisher's website: The intellectual history of pragmatism traditionally posits that its origins are found in the works of C. S. Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. What if that story is only partially true? Ferdinand Canning Scott Schiller, the foremost first generation British pragmatist, was one of the most vocal proponents of pragmatism in the late 1800s and early 1900s. He penned over a dozen books, authored hundreds of essays and reviews, and sought to popularize the philosophy of practicalism. Yet in the years before and after his death, both he and his critics engaged in arguments that helped to erase him from the story of pragmatism.
F. C. S. Schiller and the Dawn of Pragmatism: The Rhetoric of a Philosophical Rebel, by Mark J. Porrovecchio, is the first comprehensive biography of Schiller ever undertaken. It seeks to answer questions like: why were Schiller's own arguments used against him? Why were his interests, philosophical and otherwise, central to his erasure? Why would the pragmatism of today gain by reclaiming a neglected figure from its past? A crucial part of understanding those questions relates to the rhetorical strategies at play in the arguments Schiller made.
Pragmatism today is a vital and vibrant part of interdisciplinary discussions that range from philosophy, to religion, to science, to politics. But it is intellectually incomplete and historically inaccurate. Reclaiming Schiller means asking hard questions about the functions and scope of pragmatism. Though the answers will not suit everyone, they will help to make pragmatism—past, present, and future—more honest, more engaging, and more interesting.
Mark J. Porrovecchio is director of forensics and assistant professor in the Department of Speech Communication at Oregon State University.

Paranormal Derbyshire and Haunted Pubs, Inns and Hotels of Derbyshire, by Jill Armitage
From the publisher's website: Paranormal Derbyshire: Many people believe they have seen a ghost. The experience is as old as records of civilisation, yet we are told that ghosts are purely hallucinatory; spooks caught on camera are dust particles on the lens; mysterious lights are fireflies and UFOs are Chinese lanterns. But what if these anomalies are not caused through hallucination, dust particles, fireflies or Chinese lanterns? More and more people are becoming aware that things beyond the current range of scientific explanation or normal human capabilities can and do happen and this presents us with a paranormal puzzle.
Is there some mysterious earth energy that acts like a giant power grid; do certain rocks hold energy that can be released like disco lights; is it possible to see a scene as it happened years ago like some form of hologram? Spook lights, aerial phantoms and things that fall from the sky pre-date the invention of the aeroplane, and how do we account for phantom planes, UFOs and extraterrestrial visitations? Such things challenge all established views and ideas. Paranormal Derbyshire is not only packed with amazing stories, we also invite you to judge for yourself by participating in a spot of ghost hunting. We'll guide you safely through the techniques of using dowsing rods, a planchette and ouija board, so you too can delve into the paranormal secrets of Derbyshire.
Haunted Pubs, Inns & Hotels of Derbyshire takes you on a spookily paranormal pub crawl with a difference. Whether it's to a scenic country pub, a traditional old coaching inn or a more modern establishment, these are the places where people have seen ghosts, heard them, smelt them and – most frightening of all – felt them. We delve deep into the mysterious phenomena that have baffled investigators, and terrified landlords, cleaners and customers for years. Here the hidden secrets behind these strange goings-on are explored and revealed in chilling detail. Some tales will leave you shocked and shaken, while others are as entertaining as they are bewildering. History, folk memory, anecdote and eyewitness evidence are all pieced together in these eerie and evocative true stories.
We stop off at old coaching inns, pubs and alehouses, encountering spectral highwaymen, monks, Cavaliers and Roman soldiers. We uncover the ghostly fate of serving wenches, old regulars, heartbroken maids and murder victims. We find hotel rooms haunted by benevolent, playful and curious spirits as well as plagued by poltergeist activity.
Paranormal Derbyshire, Amberley, November 2009. ISBN 9781445600819; Haunted Pubs, Inns and Hotels of Derbyshire, Amberley, June 2011. ISBN 9781445604640
The Afterlife Revealed: What Happens After We Die, by Michael Tymn
From the publisher's website: At the very foundation of religious faith and hope is a belief that consciousness will survive death and that we will live on in another dimension of reality. But that foundation easily crumbles when scientific minds are unable to wrap their brains around an afterlife, when they are unable to visualize a non-material world. As the foundation gives way, the philosophy of materialism takes hold and gives rise to moral decadence, egocentricity, hypocrisy, hatred, disorder, flux, strife, chaos, and fear. Such seems to be the state of the world today. There is so much to be found outside the highly guarded boundaries of mainstream science and orthodox religion for those willing to open their minds to it, for those willing to recognize that the dissemination of Truth did not stop with the good books of organized religion and cannot always be found in the laboratory.
Beginning in 1848, a number of sensitive people began developing as mediums, bringing forth communications from the spirit world. One of the skeptics investigating the "popular madness" was Professor Robert Hare of the University of Pennsylvania. Intending to debunk it all, Hare would, after extensive research, become a believer. When he asked an apparently advanced spirit what it was all about, he was told that it was "a deliberate effort, on the part of the inhabitants of the higher spheres, to break through the partition which has interfered with the attainment, by mortals, of a correct idea of their destiny after death." Unfortunately, both orthodox religion and mainstream science, acting out of ego and fear, have rebuked the efforts of those inhabitants of the higher spheres to enlighten us, thus permitting the foundations of both faith and hope to further crumble.
In The Afterlife Revealed, Michael Tymn sets forth some of the most credible messages from the spirits relative to the nature of their world. Instead of a heaven-hell dichotomy, we are told that there are many levels, or as Jesus is quoted, "many mansions," and that we cross over to the "other side" based on what might be called a "moral specific gravity." We discover a Divine plan – one of attainment and attunement, of gradual spiritual growth, of evolution of spirit through progressively higher planes. We see how we are really souls occupying bodies rather than bodies housing souls and how our souls are progressing in finding their way back to Oneness with the Creator through the challenges, the adversities, the trials and tribulations offered us in a particular lifetime.

Ghost Hunting: A Survivor's Guide, by John Fraser
From the publisher's website: The Roman scholar Pliny the Younger was one of the first to write about ghost hunting: 2,000 years later, and the hunt still goes on. For all the thousands of hours spent by investigators in cold, dark houses, ghosts remain elusive and unproven.
This book sets out to be a practical guide to ghost hunting. Examining cases from the distant past and the present day, this book asks if it is possible to find the truth in this age-old quest. A detailed history of the three major paranormal societies is complemented by advice on which one to join, and when. If you have ever wondered how to organise your own ghost hunt, a list of essential equipment and a step-by-step guide to choosing your ideal spooky location is also included.

Pluralism and the Mind, by Colborn, Matthew
From the publisher's website: Given that consciousness is poorly understood and vaguely defined, Paul Feyerabend's advice to "keep our options open" seems sound, but is frequently ignored in favour of an insistence that a scientific theory of consciousness must be reducible to current monist physics and biology. This book argues that such an insistence is historically unsupportable, theoretically incoherent and unnecessary.
The author instead makes the case for emergent property pluralism. New concepts of emergent mental properties are needed because of the failure of mainstream approaches satisfactorily to address issues like subjective volition, autonomy and creativity. Personal consciousness is active and classifiable as a subset of the wider problem of biological causation.
The book is split into three sections. Part one builds an historical case for pluralism. Part two deconstructs insistent monism and mainstream models before addressing biological causation. Part three explores the consequences of such an alternative approach by examining specific phenomena like free will, the self and evolutionary emergence.
Matthew Colborn received an MSc in cognitive science from Birmingham University and a DPhil. in experimental psychology from the University of Sussex in 2001.

God, Ghosts and Independent Minds, by Newton Green
From the publisher's website: Religion, Science, Philosophy and the Paranormal - all between the same covers? Here, for a change, they complement each other and get along splendidly. Newton Green's fascinating book probes some of the cloudier frontiers of knowledge, in a clear, no-nonsense light. Reader-friendly, but impeccably researched, he examines humanity's place in the universe, covering a wide range of interrelated themes - creation and evolution, the nature of God, the supernatural, notions of self and free will, the workings of the mind.
For centuries, extraordinary events have bedevilled philosophers, physiologists, and psychologists. God, Ghosts and Independent Minds puts established assumptions under the microscope, and surprising truths plus some astonishing new ideas result - it won't change your life, but it will show you possibilities for leading a fuller one, and it will certainly make you think...

The Victorian's Guide to Consciousness: Essays Marking the Centenary of William James (1842-1910), by Allan Combs, ed.
From the editor's foreword: The essays included in this collection present some of the basic ideas about the nature of consciousness as understood by theorists at the turn of the twentieth century. The main intention in most of the essays is to explore the dominant thinking of that time in comparison to contemporary thought on similar problems.

Spirit Voices: The First Live Conversation Between Worlds, by Mark L. Cowden
From the publisher's website: Mark L. Cowden is the audio-visual technician who recorded what is believed to be the first ever documented case of a live, two-way conversation with the spirit world. In early 2010, at an apparently haunted hotel in Northern Ireland, Mark was part of a small team of people who were filming a television documentary series about ghost stories when something incredible happened. While a medium and a psychic investigator sat on a bed in the next room and attempted to contact the spirit of a ghost in the hotel, Mark was able to record not only the medium's side of the conversation—and her report of the responses she was receiving from the spirit—but the spirit's replies directly as well! With cameras rolling, an independent television crew documented the whole process. Not only is this believed to be the first time anybody has ever managed to record a whole conversation between this world and the next, it was also a first for television. Spirit Voices documents Mark's work in the field of paranormal forensics and details the technology and methods he developed to achieve such ground-breaking results.

Between Two Worlds: The Diary of Winifred Coombe Tennant 1909-1924, by Peter Lord
From the publisher's website: Between two worlds: the diary of Winifred Coombe Tennant 1909 – 1924 reveals the inner thought of the life of a woman who combined high politics, campaigning and love during a troubled historical period.
The diary of Winifred Coombe Tennant (1874-1956) is an extraordinary document. Its daily entries (1909-55) amount to one and a quarter million words. They document the writer's intense inner life alongside her acute observation of the outside world through a period of unprecedented upheaval.
Winifred struggled all her life with a tension between her metaphysical beliefs and the practicalities of changing the social order. She was the most closely studied spiritual medium of her time, and the lover of Gerald Balfour, cabinet minister and brother of the former Prime Minister. Subsequently she became an intimate of Lloyd George and a frequent visitor to 10 Downing Street, where she witnessed momentous events such as the negotiation of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921. She was a suffragist, stood for parliament, and was the first female British delegate to the League of Nations. As a patron of young painters, she became a central figure in the Welsh art world.
This annotated edition of the diary presents the most intense and eventful years of both her public and private lives. It may be read as literature, for the story of a spiritual journey taken against a background of personal tragedy and public endeavour. For the academic community, it reveals important new information and personal insights into events affecting the fields of women's studies, political and social history, and psychology.

Shamanism and Psi: Imagery Cultivation as an Alternative to the Ganzfeld Protocol, by Storm, Lance and Rock, Adam J
From the publisher's website: The new book Shamanism and Psi by Dr. Lance Storm and Dr. Adam Rock describes an alternative approach to producing paranormal effects in the laboratory. Many parapsychologists are convinced that popular picture-identification techniques are the best ways to elicit Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP), but the authors have their doubts.
In their innovative monograph, Storm and Rock summarize the major findings and problems involved in several areas of ESP research (i.e., relaxation, dreams, hypnosis, meditation, and ganzfeld), they take issue with the so-called 'noise-reduction' model, and they present their Imagery Cultivation Model which is based on shamanic practices. The book also details the successful results of the very first experimental tests of the authors' new Imagery Cultivation Model.

Beer and Spirits: A Guide to Haunted Pubs in the Black Country and Surrounding Area, by David Taylor and Andrew Homer
From the publisher's website: Beer and Spirits offers a fascinating insight into the stories behind some of Central England's most haunted pubs.
With over 50,000 public houses in the United Kingdom, the local pub has become an essential part of British culture. Samuel Pepys described the inn as the heart of England. Pubs have been an integral part of British culture since Roman times. The lives and dramas, intrigues and mysteries of the people who visited them form the rich tapestry of any local pub. As a result there are often many stories and histories that are inherently part of the place, and naturally ghost stories and haunted reputations form a dynamic feature of many local pubs. From spectral monks and phantom coaches, to ghostly highwaymen and supernatural hounds, the authors examine some well known and not so well known aspects of Black Country pub history and folklore.
While the stories and accounts in this book are not meant to offer any proof or conclusive evidence of ghosts, they do offer a fresh look at new and more traditional accounts of haunted pubs in the Black Country and the surrounding area.

The Best Programs (2016) - Best Video Editor Quick Review. Join The YouTube Club & Be Admired!
The Perfect Extra Program with a Vlogging Camera, GoPro, Smartphone or Laptop.
Before you buy your top program and get popular, you want to see what it does so you know it's right for you. When you do what you love, you feel amazing and success comes easily! It's your time to be creative and make money on YouTube.
How this editing software made me microfamous on YouTube
(is that even a word? microfamous?!)
I'm not a professional videographer. No. I'm just a dude with a small...
compact camera. What were you expecting!? You can call me a serious amateur. For real though, women always tell me that my camera is embarrassingly small...
Let me explain.
Back in 2010, I bought my GoPro HD camera (I told you my cam is small). I was excited to film but every time I got new footage, I had to deal with the hassle of using buggy free software or pirated programs taken from torrent sites. They would often crash so all my editing effort was in vain.
If some of the programs were decent though, they'd leave an ugly watermark on my video. Well, snap! So my videos became advertisements for some obscure program... I didn't like it at all.
I was really frustrated coz... I couldn't show off with my awesome footage.
my GoPro action sports videos are my way of bragging (I am really that cool and modest). I hated not having a good software to edit with (something that would import MP4, MTS or MOV files).
I tried a bunch of different programs and none seemed to do it for me, then I found a vlogger's review on Magix Movie Edit Pro Plus. It's not the best software - it's actually ranked No. 4 (↓ see the top 10 video editors below ↓). So what I'm saying here is you don't need the best GoPro editing software - you just need one that's relatively easy to use and it works.
That fact alone (that it works) will make things very easy for you.
German beer
However, because it was the first software that really made sense to me, I bought it and never looked back. It's made by a German company and since I discovered German beer, I tend to fall in love with everything German, software included. :)
So, because the program was easy to use, I started to edit more videos, just for the kick of it. People liked them and I kept publishing. And soon enough, I got requests from clients who begged me shoot and edit videos for them.
That was unexpected!
Now I easily edit all my videos by simply dragging my files into the timeline, regardless of the video format. I do:
How cool is that?
I love editing with an original program - because it works! The functionality is great, the online community is amazing and I'm at ease knowing the program works as it's supposed to work. I edit videos for clients, I sell footage, I get outdoor gear from sponsors to do video reviews and I make money on YouTube as a partner. Most importantly - this gives me amazing freedom and it allows me to make a living without having a real job.
It works for me!
I'm not splashing around but I'm financially independent. And I'm not using the best software. By the way, I can teach you my secretes (OMG, so cheesy) if you subscribe here.
You must be serious about this...
So if this works for me - without any formal multimedia education - I think it'll work for you too. And if you absolutely think that only the best program is your key to edit videos well, then you're either crazy or you're just very serious about this shit - I respect that! (the part where you're serious)
Imagine the joy of being the producer of your own life. You decide what kind of videos you wanna make. And then the privilege of making videos and earning money - some people will admire you but some will envy you when you live your passion.
The secret is to start publishing your vids. Your creativity will rise exponentially once you start. Don't fuss over software though - pick one and roll with it. And if you don't like it, no worries, they all come with a 30 days money back guarantee - no questions asked. But I guess you probably knew this already so I won't even mention it... Oh, wait! I just did.
While you over-think it, others are building their channels to fame and glory. And it's getting harder each passing day - it's getting crowded out there.
But if you're using free software and you're complaining that it sucks, you should click away now. This is not for you. And if you don't like beer (and getting drunk once in a while like I do - hey... I'm human) and if you don't care about your videos as much as I do about mine then I really don't want to talk to you anymore!
Still here? Still reading? Good! Then, you're not one of those people. You must be one of the few select people who are smarter (well... I don't know for sure, I'm not a psychic) since you care to edit your videos with a top software.
How this will make you a better videographer and YouTuber
Think about this: do you know those people or friends who are always trying to demonstrate how much they care about you? A little too much maybe...? Like they're a bit desperate to keep your friendship.
Well, I want you to be honest with yourself and acknowledge that you don't like them very much in return. Even though they give you a lot: their time, their resources, their connections and... even their money.
Here's the point: since they give too much too easily, you don't value them.
The same goes with your editing software and your YouTube career. You may have the best software in the world - if it didn't cost you anything, if you didn't invest - it has no value to you. Thus you don't pay enough attention to it. Meaning you also don't pay much attention to your videos, to your publishing schedule, etc.
In other words, for something to be meaningful to you, you have to invest. Just like you invest in the friendships that are valuable for you, you also have to invest in your career as a YouTuber by getting the proper video gear and the proper software.
Let me give you another analogy: people born rich versus people who had to work for it.
The rich-born are rather lazy, apathetic and don't seem to care about results (because they have it all). Whereas the underdog who spent all his savings to get that gear (whatever that may be), then he spent hundreds of hours working, training, trying - he eventually gets to the top and the results have meaning to him.
I know it as a fact that I became a better videographer the minute I actually bought my original software. I took it more serious because I invested money which then led me to invest more effort. I simply started to produce better videos because I cared more.
Wanna have results? Invest and expose yourself so you can have that evolutionary pressure on you: buy the software, take that gig, take that course, make big promises and then deliver, etc. This is a guaranteed way of producing success!
So, what's the best program to edit videos?
Well, the best editing software is the one that you know how to use. It can be any software, really. One that needs no manual to learn, I may add.
You probably want an intuitive, powerful, easy to use program, that imports most video formats (AVCHD - MTS, MP4, MKV, MOV, 3GPP2, etc), doesn't crash and works well even on your old laptop. Something that delivers professional results without headaches and no wasted time. If you want all that and more, any in the top 10 might be a good fit for you.
Now, imagine being excited for your next video and getting the recognition you deserve after you publish it. You can feel really good when you get that.
The list below contains the best video editors for beginners, amateur videographers, YouTubers but it's not limited just to that. You can download almost any of the ten and push it to professional levels since most programs have the proper tools that enable you to edit great videos. If you put a little work into it you can definitely become a professional video editor.
So have a look at the side by side comparison chart and view the different ratings. The best video editing programs for amateurs and consumers (Windows PC chart - works with Windows 10 as well):
Best Video Editor - Top 10 Programs in 2016
OK, you'll get famous on YouTube but what if it gets to your head and you go all Hollywood? Will you still love me?
|What most people buy:
|When it comes to VideoStudio, the company feels like a fresh, young innovator. In fact, VideoStudio has been on the cutting edge for years. It was first consumer editor to include motion tracking, stop motion, HTML5 video creation, and many other cool features. The latest version adds to the program's luster, with 64-bit operation, custom profiles, faster 4K editing, and a FastFlick easy movie-creation mode. With a cornucopia of video-enhancing tools, a simple interface, and improved performance, VideoStudio is ready for any PC-based movie-making project you throw at it.
You're right. Money is tight right now. The thing is, free software usually sucks and it's gonna suck most when you need it most.
For me, buying my original software meant peace of mind. Now I can focus on my editing - creating art if I'm allowed to brag - without the buggy issues of free software or cracked copies.
Most software companies offer a 30 days money back guarantee - it's risk free. If you don't like the software, you'll get a prompt full refund, no questions asked.
In the end, you decide what's best for you.
Top software have huge communities - that's also something I enjoy a lot. Coz when I ask a question on their official forum, I always get at least one reply with the right solution. You'll also find tons of tutorials and inspiration - that will help you start editing immediately and make your videos stand out.
Here's the best part for you
You can turn professional and deliver professional results if you combine creative shooting and good storytelling. Consider this - if you're somewhat proficient with an editing program, you're already better than 99% of people who need to make a video. What you do is magic for them.
So it's not always about the software, it's about your work as well:
- how you shoot
- how you make the cuts
- what music you add to you videos
- etc.
It's just easy to use and does the job. And I discovered I only use a handful of effects which are available in almost any software.
Do you need an expensive camera to shoot good videos?
Hell no.
There's an explosion of DSLR cameras that shoot amazing video but they're not cheap and once you buy one, you'll find yourself buying more lenses and more accessories than you initially anticipated. Now, that's not bad if you want do to this as a pro.
But point and shoot cameras are catching up with better sensors and more complex functions - some compete with DSLRs on image quality.
Movie Edit Pro Plus in my case.
What you can do with a compact video camera
If you shoot like you mean it - using a fluid head tripod, a slider and a stabilizer - you can get amazing results.
I've won some contests and I also sold HD footage that I took with my compact Sony HX9V and GoPro HD. Below is one of my videos, edited with Magix, entirely shot with compact cams.
To get the same results or even better, all you need to do is take your time.
Shoot the same scene a few times, try a different angle, move your camera, etc. Then, at the editing stage, do the same - find a good music track for your video, edit on music beats, cut short scenes, keep the video below 5 minutes, etc.
So you see, even without the best professional video editing software you can do a lot. I've been using a consumer program as my GoPro editing software and my skills improved dramatically. That's because every GoPro video editor has a lot of features that are cool yet they take some time to discover and master. But once you know the ins and outs of cutting videos you can totally rock it on YouTube. And that's a sweet position to be in.
It's no race so if you wanna have a good watchable video - you do wanna get lots of views on YouTube, don't you? - take your time and do work to be proud of.
Success and good things
Imagine the amazement on your friends' faces when they see your new videos. Think about how cool it would be to actually make money with your videos.
Yes - it's possible. The internet allows people like you and me to live our passion and earn a living as well. You don't wanna miss this opportunity. YOU are the star. Get on with it, pick any in the top 10 and start publishing your videos coz the world needs your awesomeness.
So I urge to buy your top software at no obligation today. Don't waste your time. Have fun with it. Claim your fame.
Best Video Editing Program for Windows (including the Windows 7,Windows 8 and Windows 10)

Alteil America's first EX Pack release is here on August 7th!
An EX Pack release is like a mini-expansion that adds a few more cards to the mix. Check out the details under the Expansion button, complete with fancy flash movie.
This EX Pack is entitled "Angels -- The Second Coming" and introduces for new cards, one for each Sphere. Like guardian angels for your Card File, they have a wide variety of abilities, and are designed to enhance your usual strategies.
The EX Packs also contain four true "EX Cards," these re-use character art of key characters from Alteil, but have different powers and statistics. Think of them as "alternate" versions or takes on the characters' capabilities. And, like the alternate versions of characters that have been popularized in American comics, they have no problem co-existing side by side. That means you can have 3 Zagars and 3 EX: Zagars in your Card file, and one of each on the field. Remember, however, that the EX versions of cards have completely different abilities, and from a statistical point of view fill different roles, so there really isn't any special advantage to that. Normal characters and EX characters are separate and cannot Revive one another.
EX Packs are fixed, and available for a limited time only. Unlike normal Basic and Expansion packs, EX Card packs are not random, and you can buy them based on what Sphere you want. In exchange, they are only going to be available for two months. For those of you who don't buy Gran, you are not going to want to miss on this opportunity. However, if you get a little Gran from Mirage Master, Recycling and the Ranking, you should be able to buy a few packs before the two months is up.

While many school students and teachers were enjoying their recent school holiday, a group of teachers and students from St Mary's Campus, All Saints College Maitland was immersed in a very different experience in the remote Aboriginal community of Warralong in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Located in the north of WA between the Kimberly and Gascoyne regions, Warralong is home to the Nyangumarta and Mardu people from Strelley, Warralong and Port Hedland communities.
The Indigenous Immersion Program, organised by Catholic Mission and St Mary's teaching staff, gave those involved an authentic Aboriginal lifestyle experience at the Strelley Community School, Warralong. Catholic Mission facilitator and Team Leader, Michael Gallaway, accompanied teachers Bronwyn Rayner, Debbie Sivyer and Helen Kearney and 11 students to the remote school for their 10 day mission.
The Strelley Community School values and promotes the cultural heritage of its students, and because students speak English only as their second language, all classrooms have at least one Indigenous teacher's assistant at all times.
Nyangumarta is the target language of the school's LOTE (Language other than English) program and an extensive collection of Nyangumarta resources has been created and developed over the years by community members, language specialists for the teaching of Nyangumarta.
The Warralong Mob, as they were known, were wonderful hosts and very proud to share their culture and show off their country, which includes the end of the Rabbit Proof Fence, at Cape Keraudren. Weekends were spent exploring the local area with excursions to Cape Keraudren, Mulley Cattle Station, Marble Bar and a sacred Aboriginal rock art site near Warralong.
During the school week students and staff worked alongside Strelley School staff assisting in numerous tasks. On a typical school day students were up at 6.15am to help prepare breakfast for the Aboriginal children. After serving breakfast, they helped children with morning hygiene and reading activities before school. Mornings were spent with Strelley teachers helping out with literacy and numeracy programs, and afternoons were spent with Aboriginal students participating in the school's drama program. Socialising and playing sport after school fostered friendship between the Warralong Mob and the St Mary's Mob.
A forgotten community provides teachers with a real lesson (Aurora)

When was the first Groundhog's Day celebrated?
The celebration of Groundhog Day began with Pennsylvania's earliest settlers. Punxsutawney held its first Groundhog Day in the 1800s. The first official trek to Gobbler's Knob was made on February 2nd, 1887.
How often is Phil's prediction correct?
Always; 100% of the time, of course! Check out past predictions here!
How many "Phils" have there been over the years?
There has only been ONE Punxsutawney Phil. He has been making predictions for over 120 years! Punxsutawney Phil gets his longevity from drinking the "elixir of life," a secret recipe. Phil takes one sip every summer at the Groundhog Picnic and it magically gives him seven more years of life.
Where and when does Punxsutawney Phil make his prediction?
On February 2nd, Phil comes out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob - in front of thousands of followers from all over the world - to predict the weather for the rest of winter.

Watching Wildlife
are busy seasons for wildlife. Carnivores and rodents breed in spring and are most active from March through June. Birds are in their brightest plumage in spring and ready to find a mate. Courting behaviors, such as the booming of prairie chickens or the strutting of turkeys, can be exciting to witness. Nocturnal animals, especially owls and flying squirrels, are active in summer at twilight. Fall migrations of waterfowl, shorebirds and raptors are more dramatic and longer lasting than spring migrations.
Call ahead to a site if you want to catch peak migrations of waterfowl, shorebirds or bald eagles, for the weather can quickly change viewing conditions. Eagle watching is most spectacular December through early February in Missouri. White-tailed deer and wild turkey bunch in winter; watch for small groups of them feeding in openings or fields late in the day.
If you have a bird feeder, you have probably learned that storms can be good for viewing wildlife, with peak activity before and after rain or snow. For night calls, owls begin in late January, while coyotes and foxes are good listening from December through summer.
Outfitted with just a couple of field guides and binoculars, you have the basic tools to make your trip exciting. A spotting scope is especially helpful for water birds. Use binoculars or a scope to scan open areas, hillsides, bluffs, lakes and stream banks.
Look in bookstores for field guides to birds, mammals, plants and others. Half the fun of seeing and identifying a new species is reading about it afterward to learn more of its habits and habitats.
Learn about the habitats you're going to visit. Most field guides have general habitat descriptions in the front. More specific references are available about primary habitats in the state including forests, grasslands, river bottomlands, rivers and streams, wetlands and caves and springs.
Cassette tape recorders can help you capture and learn bird songs and frog calls. Don't forget your camera.
Observation Skills
Stop, look and listen as you go. Hike into the wind and avoid noisy ground covered with leaves and sticks. Walk slowly and quietly. Wear clothes that blend with the habitat. Sometimes using your car, truck or boat as a viewing blind is less disturbing to wildlife and allows you to watch animals go about their routines.
A pond or stream bank is a good place to sit and watch for

"My Daughter Won't Let Me Date"
Gloria, a single mom, has a great relationship with her 15-year-old daughter Kylie " as long as Gloria isn't dating someone.
"When my mom is dating, I feel that she likes the other person more than me," says Kylie. And it's not just that Kylie gets jealous. She'll
go so far as to make loud noises into the telephone when her mom is talking to a man, and even yell "loser!" into the phone.
"I've always given her all of my attention. But now that I'm getting older, I'm starting to worry that I don't want to be alone when she's gone," says Gloria. "How do I find a balance between my needs and my daughter's needs?"
Dr. Phil's Advice:
When a 15-year-old is telling her mother what she can and can't do, then "the tail is wagging the dog ... What the hell are you thinking?" he asks Gloria.
People often fight about a topic, instead of the underlying issue. In this case, Dr. Phil says, they're arguing about Gloria's boyfriends " but the real issue, for example, may have to do with guilt about getting ready to leave for college, or guilt about not keeping the family together.
Talk about the issues openly and honestly. Set the guilt aside for the discussion.
There have to be boundaries between parents and kids. It's time to redefine new boundaries. Make it clear, for example, that it is not OK for her to disrespect your boyfriends. You teach people how to treat you.
There's nothing for you to be guilty about if you're having an adult relationship with a man who meets some of your needs. Don't let your daughter control or guilt you. "It's not being a bad mom to be a healthy you," says Dr. Phil. Give yourself permission to be who you are.
Advice for Kylie:
"You feel that when your mom spends time with her boyfriends, it's at your expense. Is that being selfish?" Dr. Phil asks Kylie. "Do you want your mother to be happy? ... Don't you want your mom to feel like she's appreciated and desired?"
As they mature, kids need to see things not only through their own eyes. Imagine what it would mean for your parent to have your support " instead of sabotage and criticism. Make a commitment to support your mom. If you want her support, you've got to do the same.
When it comes time to go away to college, how would you feel if she says, "You can't leave me! I've burned all my bridges to be here with you, and now you're leaving?"

West Ham v Arsenal – single word review and player ratings
In the first of an experimental new series, we look at the individual performances against West Ham, rate them out of 10 and provide a single word review of their day.
Please note, we reserve the right to invent our own words at any time. Or, when circustmances dictate, use more than one word which may or may not include words we've invented.
Vito Mannone: 6/10 – ok
Carl Jenkinson: 7/10 – solid
Per Mertesacker: 7/10 – improvable
Thomas from Ireland: 7/10 – safer
Kieran Gibbs: 7/10 – strained
Mikel Arteta: 10/10 – impeccable
Aaron Ramsey: 7/10 – busy
Santi Cazorla: 9/10 – magical
Gervinho: 6/10 – bypassed
Lukas Podolski: 7/10 – assisty
Olivier Giroud: 9/10 – scoretacular
Andre Santos: 7/10 – focused
Theo Walcott: 8/10 – effective
Feel free to discuss and post your own ratings, but the reason I say this kind of post is experimental is because such discussion often becomes stupid very quickly.
Normal comment policy applies, if you're not familiar with them, please read.

Not so sure we would have come back & won that game 2 seasons ago so over the moon this morning 🙂 Great to see Giroud get his first, was funny because it was probably the most difficult of all the chances he's had so far haha!

Yeah, I actually think Mannone doesn't get enough credit. He's working hard, got in some great saves AND withstood that kick to the face like a champ.
20 1
He seems to have found confidence, and I can't say there's been a single goal let in that was an EASY save to make… all of the goals seem to have been defender mix-ups.
0 1
a solid back-up… he's a bit scary coming out of goal though

"Thomas from Ireland" = gold
36 2
Credit for that must go to the son of @WestStandTone who thought that was his actual name.
34 2
Credit respectfully given.
As a point of historical fact, Thomas Fromirelan' verminated Ireland in the 5th century AD.
11 2
I'd say per deserves more than a 7, I can distinctly remember him making at least two crucial last man tackles.
Also I thought arteta wasn't at his best, looked a little tired to me, not that he played poorly, but not really a 10/10 performance like he put in against city for example.
23 3
Agree with everything except for the Arteta part. Arteta's easy to underrate because he isn't the one scoring or (most of the time) making the assists, but we'd be sunk without him.

Santi Cazorla- absolutely 'santisfying' to watch

Phil Dowd 1/10 "Terrylicious"

i cant do this..ill just read instead

I have said before and I will mention it again, the way Fergus uses Ferdin should be the same way Wenger should use Merta. He seem to be slow, but he is brilliant in handling the defence. If the player is ahead of him, he should be offside unless played on by his lazy colleague. But as a last man, all others must be ahead of him in clearing the defence line.
I know Kosc is a very good player, but he need Mertas to organise the defence.
7 3
Phil dowd – cunty.
Vaz te – pathetic.
Sam allardyce – obese.
33 1
All these one word ratings are making me reminisce…
4 22
If anything, Arteta and Cazorla have made us forget Fabregas, the way they play…
11 1
I think Per deserves an 8 and Gibbs a 6. Maybe it was cause he was injured, but Gibbs made wasted some good chances with some horrific crosses. But still, love this article!
9 2
Oh man! Did we really pay only 15m for cazorla? He's worth much much more. Credit to The boss for that. He produces some magical moments in every game.
The goal he scored was fantastic but in another move he fooled the defender and looked destined to shoot but then he thread a nice little through ball for Giroud. Three or four defenders had no clue whatsoever about where the ball was? Simply brilliant stuff.
22 1
And only 10 for Arteta — 10 for the best passer in all of Europe… and the third-best tackler. Now that's amazing.
6 2
if santi can score 15 goals then he can as effective as fabregas……..we need a goal scoring midfielder

We're doing something here that's special — goals coming from all over the place.

Very kind on gerviniho, i think your rose tinted glasses were on cause we won, for me 3/4 is more like it. i wouldnt give him starts in major games, hes a league cup player who needs time to get to first team level. He reminds me of theo, two years ago,without the pace.

well 99% accurate short passing rate is fine but i expect ARTETA to take long range shots and some honey butter sweet juicy pussy long pass more often. He cant be 10/10 . had we drawn the game u would rate him 6/10 for 99% passing . Lets not get carried away and connect the scoreline with Artetats shortpassing ability . 10/10 its just flattering. fcuk if disagree.

This concept – 3/10: hit-whore-y
In fairness, all "ratings" and lists-type articles are. It's minimum effort to generate content/hits. And it is exactly the opposite of "news."
The one-word player review is catchy, admittedly, but I'd prefer this fluff be added to the match report or the next day's blog, if it must have a home somewhere.
2 11
Well Giroud certainly did "pleasure the fans" 🙂
I'd give Manone at least a 7/10 for that kick in the face! He was a contrast to Vaz te rolling around like an idiot he is for injuring himself.

Mannone the Lord protect his own. Even though VAZ TE or VAZ TIT tried to hurt you the lord punished him with a shoulder injury.

The Sixers will try to bounce back from what Brett Brown called "the poorest performance of the season" when his team lost at home Friday night to the Hawks, 125-99.
Tonight, the Sixers face the Pistons in Detroit. The Pistons -- like the Sixers -- are only an eight-win team on their home floor.
Here is the matchup in 3-Dei:
1. Be on the rebound
Tonight's game is the third of four meetings between these two teams. Detroit won the first two games by double digits. In those games, the Pistons beat the Sixers by a combined 25 points.
The Pistons have a big, strong frontline with Josh Smith, Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond. In the first meeting, they combined for 58 points and 31 rebounds. The second, they totaled 48 points and 35 rebounds.
To beat Detroit, the Sixers' frontline must match the physicality of its Detroit counterparts.
2. Defense matters
Last night, the Sixers allowed 37 points to the Hawks in the second quarter and 38 in the third. They continue to give up the most points in the NBA -- 110 per game -- and their point differential is second worst (minus-8.8).
The notion that they can outscore teams needs to be accepted as "no we can't." Getting stops has to be the goal.
Friday night, the Hawks shot 51 percent from the floor. It was the 10th time this season the Sixers have allowed an opponent to shoot 50 percent or better. They are 1-9 in those games.
When the opponent shoots 45 percent or higher, they're 5-23. The Sixers need to hold the Pistons under 45 percent. They're 10-9 when they hold teams under 45-percent shooting.
3. Locate Turner and Wroten
Evan Turner is the team's leading scorer, averaging 18.2 points. Since scoring a career-high 34 points in a win over the Knicks 10 days ago, Turner is shooting 35.8 percent from the fielding, including 2 for 10 and six points Friday night. It was his seventh single-digit output this season.
Tony Wroten was 1 for 13 from the floor Friday night. He's the team's sixth man, averaging 12.4 points off the bench. He missed a week because of an ankle injury, but returned last Saturday.
In four games since, he is 8 for 33 from the floor and hasn't reached double-figure points while committing 10 turnovers.
Turner and Wroten need to live up to the roles they've been given.

I have been watching some of the replay of the Nebraska game against Idaho and wow, they still are turning the ball over. Against a better team and they would have been in trouble.
A friend of mine that is a NU fan told me that the QB for NU put the ball on the turf 5 times yesterday but only lost it once. He did throw a couple of INT's as well.
Honestly Iowa looks a lot more like a top 10 team than NU does right now.
Hush I tell you... We just got our rear end handed to us by Iowa, but they aren't that good of a team. People will never believe you that Iowa might be better then Nebraska, since we did beat them in Lincoln off of turnovers.
OK just curious why would this thread got moved from football, since it is about a future team?
I for one have moved past the Iowa game and am sure others have as well, and I believe it is worth looking at future opponents still, and not complaining about the past opponents.
Just curious thanks

Taylor Martinez is Denard Robinson junior.

The headline was "Huskers start Fast, end Slow."
17 more points allowed. Ten last week against a patsy. Guess they will not win the low defense point derby at this rate.

I did something really stupid and clumsy today and feel lower than a bow-legged caterpillar because of it.
I ran my deraillieur into the spokes on a hillclimb while riding my Carbon Pro.
(switched the 8s 130mm wheels for the 7s 126mm wheels and didnt set the limiter for 7)
damage sustained is limited to a jockey wheel and the BROKEN DERAILLIEUR HANGER.
I know I have put myself in a bad place here, I have ruined my favorite bike, and possibly taken it out of commission for good.
So I am calling on all experts in early CF, filing aluminum, replacing dropouts, voodoo, ANYTHING to lend some advice on what to do.
I do have the broken piece to complete the DO if a new one must be fabbed, but thats still leaving a lot of guessing as to rebonding the chainstay.
There is also a great CF repair resource in Oregon, but this is not modern carbon, its from 1989 so I'm not sure what results may come.
Thanks in advance to the biggest family I have.
You all have been a great community for me to be in for years and many of you know I have been having a really bad summer, this one should be the biggest blow, hopefully it's all tailwinds from here.
Trying to keep the graphic stuff out of the way so I have given you fair warning.

Hey everyone!
I have been presented with the opportunity to travel to Cambodia to study and work with victims of human trafficking. The trip is worth three credit hours to my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling, and it would be an AMAZING opportunity for me to refine my skills in multiculturalism, therapy with trauma victims, and on the issue of human trafficking itself.
I have never been outside of the United States, and I would be so humbled by the opportunity to travel overseas and be able to put my skills to use in such a giving way.
Here is some information about the organization I would be working with: www.destinyrescue.org/us.
Obviously, this opportunity comes with a cost. The total estimated cost of the trip is around $4,000. My university is offering a $1,000 scholarship to those who are able to go on the trip, and I plan on saving back some extra money I have from my work-study job. If needed, I will also take out a student loan. Even with all of these resources, the price range is still outside of my comfortable affordability. So I am turning to my family and friends, including my beloved UG friends, to help me out. Any donation would be GREATLY appreciated! Every little bit counts, and it all adds up! It would go toward helping me grow into the wordly, cultured person that I want to be, become an understanding and effective counselor in the future, and helping victims of human trafficking in these areas.
You would have my never-ending gratitude for any contribution you could make.
Here is the website where you can make your contribution:
Thank you for your support,
Dosed. (aka, Kayla)
PS- If you make a donation and do not wish to remain anonymous, please send me either your mailing address or email address in the comment section so that I may send you a personalized thank you.
For a second I thought you were Gary Glitter.
I would give you money, but it's your money too.
zgr0826 and Dosed. sitting in a tree
k i s s i n g
So like...your title made me think you were an aspiring sex trafficker.
I'm really happy I'm wrong :haha:. I may be able to throw a few bucks your way, lemme see how my pay day looks.
I would donate money but I don't have any. :(
Typical US volunteering organisation- they're absolutely fleecing you on the cost of the trip.
Even with the $1000 scholarship taken off, $3000 is incredibly steep considering you can stay in a more than decent hotel for about $2 a night and eat for about the same.
Plus, this is scary:
"Destiny Rescue however, is a Christian organisation so does promote Christian values but present our faith as a lifestyle of action and compassion rather than just a belief. Yes the children are given opportunity to become Christians but neither the children nor their families are under any compulsion to become Christians."
Sorry, I don't have any money to donate. :( :(
This :haha:
You sound a little too excited about this. I don't know, that OP felt a bit too opportunistic :haha:
Sorry though, I haven't got any cash at all.
yeah, about the whole Christian thing--
My group is not having a part in that at all. We are a state university, and we won't be involved in any of that stuff.
Also, keep in mind it's paying for the flight and my credit hours for the university as well.
So apparently someone donated $200 and this was Kayla's response: "Oh my god! I feel like Walt Jr.!"
You could always raise the money by whoring yourself out to greasy old men if the whole "solicit money from 13 year olds on a guitar forum" thing doesn't pan out.
:idea: Whore out the 13 year olds to Gary Glitter!!!!!!
I'm giving 10 bucks just for that awesome BrBa reference.
tbh not scary at all
+1 :haha:
That is so ca$h.
I'm not doing too well with money right now but I'll see if I can contribute soon. You have to visit me too ok? I'm just a $79 flight away :)
