Although I have not gone through nearly one quarter of what so many women worldwide have had to go through in my life, I have experienced my fair of discrimination.
As a young girl, I was bullied by my neighbor, her cousin and their friends. They told me I was ugly, fat and 'unlikeable'. They tore my clothes, called my house sometimes to insult me over the phone, and they made me cry. I stayed quiet because I thought I deserved it. I thought they were right; and even till this day I remain a victim to their words. I can't stand the sight of myself unless I "think" I look beautiful and I can't look at myself without seeing my many imperfections.
While in secondary school, I had teachers telling me that I was incapable of getting anything higher than a C in their classes. They told me that I would struggle all my educational career because I just couldn't do it – and because of that in my second year of high school my grades started dropping as I had lost faith in my ability to do well in my classes.
I was blessed to have my dad pay for my tuition for my first two years of University, but after he retired I wanted to take the initiative to take that sacrifice off his hands. So, in order to pay my way through my last few years of University I started working two part time jobs (accounting for a total of 40 hours per week – 20 each) and going to full time school. My schedules were consistently messed up; sometimes I had classes in the mornings and in the nights and I would work during the day, which many at times resulted in me working 7 days a week. I travelled via bus to get to work and school – and I heard a lot of discouragement along the way.
In all of these experiences I learned one important lesson (out of many): how to stay strong, determined and positive. Yes I still suffer from the bullying victimization, but through Saving Angel I want to help other girls and boys just like myself, get through their victimization. While in school I realised that my biggest fight would be the one I make with myself. Yes, I was discouraged by people who were supposed to be encouraging but I learned that the only way I can succeed is if I put my best foot forward and just blank out the rest. I went to summer school to do grade-upgrades, and came out with A's and I realised that I shouldn't let the ignorance of others get in my way. In the end I was able to graduate with honors and got Scholarships to go to university. The barriers I faced while in University only helped me become a stronger person and those decisions I made to work 2 jobs and go to school full time, are decisions I will never regret.
I can't imagine the types of barriers that women in underprivileged situations have to go through – but I can speak for the barriers that prevent girls from succeeding here in North America. We've been born into generations where everything is based on physical appearance, popularity and fitting in with the popular culture (whatever that is). Girls are faced with so many barriers starting from lack of respect, lack of confidence, lack of mentorship and support at home – to complete disrespect, cultural inequality, the Hollywood star image etc. at school and at work. No longer are we accepted for who we are; in fact, if we do not conform to the images presented before us (skinny, big boobs, big bum, no body hair (except for on our head), no glasses, straight hair etc.) then we're considered as outcastes. It's so unfortunate, that while there are girls in other countries, fighting for the right to attend school and have that privilege as we do here in N.A; the girls here are willing to sacrifice that privilege, their education and self-respect, for the sake of pleasing and conforming to a norm/standard that can destroy them.
My belief is, the only way we can overcome these barriers to put an end to them, is by redefining what the 'norm/standard' is; by redefining what it means to be a woman/male (masculinity) in the 21st century. Moreover, by exposing the barriers for what they are (forms of destruction) and enlightening society with the solutions and pathways to success like mentorship, encouragement, group confidence etc we can overcome these barriers that are doing so much harm to the empowerment of women here in N.A. and worldwide.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to Girls Transform the World 2013.
I love these lines best: "My belief is, the only way we can overcome these barriers to put an end to them, is by redefining what the 'norm/standard' is; by redefining what it means to be a woman/male (masculinity) in the 21st century."
You really are an Angel <3
Thank you so much Kirthi for not only taking the time to read my piece but for enjoying it as much as you did! I hope we can work together in the future!
Much love & respect xoxoxo
<3 <3 I really hope so too, Saving Angel!
I understand you perfectly well dear. I know what it means to loss self esteem because of what others think about you...honey never u border about what others think about you. I am glad that you have been able to overcome that nightmare, more power to your elbow. Love.

Thank you so much Nakinti for your kind words of encouragement! I'm glad I could get past those barriers. I know there will be more in my future to come but I'm more than ready to face them with open arms!
Much love and respect xoxoxo
"In all of these experiences I learned one important lesson (out of many): how to stay strong, determined and positive." these are the crushing lines of this article, just loved them. I had always had to fight my way forward and that is how I relate to what you said. The strong determination to overcome all the barriers purposefully laid before me made me do what I would have never done.
Warm regards bhanva
I'm so glad to have met you! And to find someone who can relate to me and so many other women! Its determination that can get us all through the difficult times!
Much love & respect xoxoxo
You are strong and courageous to overcome these obstacles and you sure are an inspiration to many young ladies including myself. And I applaud you for having the initiative to give back and help other kids get over their barriers.
Love Deqa
I hope I can continue to be courageous and strong as always & I hope I can continue to be an inspiration for so many children and women! Thank you for sharing such kind and loving words of encouragement!
Much love & respect xoxoxo
thank you for sharing.
your life is a testimony about finding yourself and success. m truly inspired. its not always easy to get past what people say or think about you words hurt and destroy. many girls give up because of such challenges well done for managing in such a hostile environment hope the girls you are working with will also rise above their circumstances.
we may be powerless to stop an injustice but let there never be a time we fail to protest. regards pela
You are so right, my life is about finding myself - and I've found myself in doing my work thru Saving Angel. It is very difficult trying to get through the hard times, having to deal with the harsh words and horrible criticisms - but its important that we all stick together help each other through these difficult times.
Much love & respect xoxoxo
You are indeed a saving angel. Keep up the wonderful work.
And yes, we all need to work together to change this social construct of norm and standard. and you have very rightly said that in some parts of the world women are fighting for their chance for an education, while in places which are more fortunate, women do not take up tertiary education for so many other reasons. There is so much work that needs to be done.
Regards Aminah
Salaam Aminah
Thank you so much for your wonderful words of encouragement! It's true I think if we all worked to redefine these social constructs worldwide then it would make a significant difference not only for children in the western hemisphere but also for children in the east as well. There is definitely alot of work that needs to be done! But I'm sure together as a team we can make a difference!
Much love and respect xoxoxo

I really enjoyed reading your article Saving Angel. As I'm from the UK it was a nice contrast to other pieces I read on World Pulse reading about a North American - It's really frustrating to think that, both coming from developed countries with access to education for all (at least on paper) that this opportunity can be squandered by women like us because of social pressures and the lack of self confidence you describe. I'm a teacher now and I still remember so keenly what impact my own teachers' words (good or bad) had on my perspective and self-worth when I was young. Its so important to keep that knowledge when we grow up!!
Your article seemed to fit well with this one I read too... shows how similar in some ways peoples situations are across the world... http://worldpulse.com/node/69503
I'd love to know more about you role now and what Saving Angel does! Keep writing.
First of all thank you so much for taking the time to read my post! I totally agree with you - it is definitely frustrating when you have to see the ways in which girls are depriving themselves of taking up this opportunity. At the same time, its hard to not blame ourselves (society in general) for not doing any different because of the standards etc. that permiate throughout the billiards and walls of our cities. Thankfully there are members like yourself in our communities who are wonderful teachers and who support the equality and empowerment of women - in trying to defeat these harsh and discriminatory standards. I would love to connect, communicate and collaborate with you! And I would love to tell you more about Saving Angel!
Thank you once again! Much love & respect xoxoxo
Your welcome, and thank you - I'm very new to World Pulse and so excited about all that I'm reding on here and learning too. Such a great community. I know exactly what you mean about blame - it's time to tak responsibility and change things. Good luck with everything and I look forward to following in future :)
Take care x
I'm quite new as well so I totally understand the excitment and enjoyment you get after reading and interacting with everyone! And yes, it is time we take the responsibility and try to do something about it. Its never too late!
Much love & respect xoxoxo
I really related to your article. When I was growing up, an Aunt always made negative comments about my weight. My Mom never defended me and I thought it was because what my Aunt said was true. Years later I saw a picture of myself and realized that she had been wrong. I was just ordinary size, but from age 10 forward I have had a negative concept of my body. My Aunt's daughter, my cousin, grew up with an eating disorder. Even though we find out as adults that these things were said because of that person's own insecurities, the damage has been done to our own self esteem. I too wish we could revise our idea of how we are "supposed' to look and be, and change gender roles for men and women as well. I believe the roles damage both men and women. Keep speaking out. You have something relevant to share.
Diane Ezeji
I totally agree with you! Its so true; even though they speak on behalf of their own insecurities, they always somehow find a way to destroy our self-esteem and belief in ourselves. It's so unfortunate that some of the people in our lives can be so destructive and disruptive to our health (mental, emotional, physical etc.). You know Diane, yesterday I went to a clothing store to try on some sari's for my sister's wedding, and I couldn't fit into any of the clothing. I felt so disturbed and frustrated with myself because I felt fat and ugly. The girl helping me told me that it's not my fault - "its just that, this is how the bollywood style is now, they don't make clothing for plus size women now". When she said that, her words reminded me of how much I hate shopping for myself, because I'm so insecure and frustrated with myself. I think its essential that we as the present generation reevaluate the definition of these very important and entrenched concepts within our societies to prevent further pain and anguish towards our children. Thank you for your wonderful comments! Hopefully we can work together in the future!
Much love & respect xoxoxo
Thank-you for sharing this- I know how hard it can be to talk about one's own issues with self esteem and the pressures put on us by our culture.
I'm so glad you were able to overcome these things by learning that you ARE capable and that you CAN do well, even if your horrid teachers didn't see it. What's ironic is that so many people in our society would never be able to do what you did. I completely relate- I've always had at least two jobs, even as a graduate student, and how I can never feel beautiful enough or smart enough to please anyone. The only critique I have of your essay is when you say that girls here are willing to sacrifice education because of these things. I don't think girls here are any more willing than others to conform to social roles; it's just that sometimes it seems impossible to do anything except conform. The fault is in our culture.
Women are taught from the time we're born that our only purpose is to please others, and it can be so difficult to go through the constant conflict of trying to do what's best for yourself while not taking in what others are saying about you. You are so strong for being able to do this, and remember that it's ok to take care of yourself, too- it's ok to take a day off, it's ok to sleep in now and then, it's ok if one assignment gets turned in late because you needed self-care. It's ok to sometimes be sad, it's ok to feel down or to feel insecure. What's important is that you keep going, and it sounds like you're doing an amazing job at that!
Good luck to you and all that you achieve.
First of all, thank you so much Liz for taking the time to read my piece and express such kind words of appreciation and encouragement! It's women like yourself that continue to inspire me and so many other women who are touched by your kindess!
Yes you are definitely correct - it is the fault of our own culture that we as women conform to the cultural and social roles placed before us in our society. It's unfortunate that this is the situation, but like you said it is impossible to do anything except conform especially in such a vastly growing community.
I wrote an essay once about the ways in which the health and success of our society is destroyed because of the patriarchal culture which is so heavily entrenched within the cultural practices, and foundational institutions of our community. Every time I think of the ways in which women conform to the "standards/norms" I always return back to thinking about that essay.
Thank you for giving me such important reminders! So often do we all forget to stop and smell the flowers! To stop and enjoy the ocean as it rushes up to touch our feet when we're on the beach! To stop and just hug someone we care about.
Good luck to you as well Liz! I hope we can stay in touch!
Much love & respect xoxoxo

Health & Pregnancy
The Truth About Pregnancy Stretch Marks
Is Prevention Possible?
Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent stretch marks. There's not a cream, lotion, or "mommy" balm that can do that -- and if that's the claim on the bottle, don't be fooled, Lupo says.
It's always a good idea to keep your skin hydrated with a rich lotion or cream, Lupo says, especially if it makes your skin feel better, look smoother and more toned, and helps the itchiness that can come with your growing belly.
It also helps to keep your body hydrated with water, says Anne Chapas, MD, a clinical instructor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Focus on Fading
While some stretch marks naturally fade to faint, silvery lines, others remain darker and more showy. The best time to treat the marks, Waldorf says, is while they're still in that reddish stage. Gels made with a mix of onion extract and hyaluronic acid may help. In one study, people using the gel said their marks faded after 12 weeks of daily use.
Another option is a retinoid, which your dermatologist can prescribe. "This speeds up cell turnover and can stimulate new collagen growth, leading to plumper, healthier skin," Waldorf says. (You can't use a retinoid if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, though.)
Other in-office treatments include lasers that heat the skin. That boosts collagen growth and shrinks dilated blood vessels. It may take a number of sessions to see results, says Jeanine B. Downie, MD, a dermatologist in Montclair, NJ.
Gentler processes such as dermabrasion can also help renew the skin, Downie says, but don't expect a big change.
Some women are simply trying to accept the new skin they're in, now that the baby has arrived. "Knowing that there's really no magic spell, I have decided to embrace [the stretch marks] as a part of my new mom body. New curves, new shape -- new skin, too," Shaw says.
Thank you for submitting your response.
Good to Know is a new feature that allows members of the community to answer questions from WebMD experts, doctors, staff, and other community members. We're testing this new feature and we'd like your feedback.

Do you and your spouse both pay for BC Medical? This is not as uncommon as you may think. Medical Services Plan does not cross check to ensure people are not paying at more than one workplace, so if you and your spouse both have benefits at your place of work check to ensure you are not being deducted at both locations for your regular BC Medical. Not does it cost you as a payroll deduction and is also a taxable benefit with no added value, but the expense to the employer is significate. Only one partner should to pay the monthly family or couple premium. If you have questions about your BC Medical premiums contact Heather in payroll at

This product worked fine for the first three months, I was on it. I had no significant weight gain and it cleared up my acne.

I used to be on Zovia and never had any issues, recently my medical center switched me to Kelnor. My skin has been super oily and I've been getting pimples that I haven't had in over 15 years. I've also been feeling extra tired and more moodier than usual around my menstrual cycle time.

City of Syracuse wants to keep better track of workers city contractors are hiring By Tom Magnarelli • Jan 7, 2016 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News The city of Syracuse's Department of Neighborhood and Business Development is asking the Common Council to approve a year-long contract with a software company to monitor the hiring practices of the city's contractors. The goal is to continually gather information on who is benefiting from city contracts. The proposal would require new contractors to use the software to track information on who they employ. The information would include workers' gender, ethnicity, pay rate and where they live, something that Councilor Jean Kessner said is important. Three Democrats face off in 128th Assembly District primary By Ellen Abbott • Sep 9, 2015 kristen_a / Flickr There will be a new representative in the 128th Assembly District in central New York next year. And that lawmaker could be determined in Thursday's primary election. The 128th has been gerrymandered into a far-flung district that serves Syracuse's inner city, the university area, the Onondaga Nation, farm country in southern Onondaga County, as well as suburban Dewitt, Mattydale and Liverpool. It's been reliably represented by Democrats for years, most recently by Assemblyman Sam Roberts, who left for a job in the Cuomo administration. Syracuse Common Council approves "Ban the Box" legislation By Ellen Abbott • Dec 9, 2014 Ellen Abbott / WRVO Listen Listening... / 1:36 The city of Syracuse has joined Rochester and Buffalo in approving "Ban the Box" legislation. This was the third attempt by city common councilors to pass the legislation. The new ordinance would prevent the city, and any contractors doing business with the city, from asking a job applicant about criminal convictions unless that person has received a job offer. Kessner likely to drop challenge to Senator Valesky By Ryan Delaney • Jun 26, 2014 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Jean Kessner has gotten her wish and will likely drop her challenge of state Sen. Dave Valesky in Democratic Party primary. Kessner, a Democrat herself and Syracuse Common Councilor, was circulating petitions to challenge Valesky (D-Oneida), unless he rejoined the mainstream Democrats in the state Senate. Valesky has been a member of the Independent Democratic Caucus, which controls the Senate along with the minority Republicans, since 2011. Kessner continues to pursue run against Valesky because of IDC alignment By Ellen Abbott • Jun 25, 2014 Ellen Abbott / WRVO Syracuse Common Councilor Jean Kessner continues collecting petition signatures for a possible Democratic primary run for the state Senate seat held by Dave Valesky (D-Oneida). On Tuesday, Kessner supporters rallied in front of the State Office Building in Syracuse. Kessner says she only wants to run if Valesky stays aligned with the Independent Democratic Conference, a group of breakaway Democrats that, along with Republicans, control the state Senate. Syracuse lawmakers set to vote on comprehensive plan, after delays By Ryan Delaney • Mar 13, 2014 After a year of delays and re-writes, Syracuse lawmakers are finally set to vote on a new comprehensive plan for the city. City planners had been working on the vision for how the city should look in 2040 for two years. Then it went to the council, where lawmakers had a lot of questions and proposed changes, which caused them to continually delay voting on it. Common councilor announces bid for re-election By Ellen Abbott • May 30, 2013 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Listen Listening... / One of the sitting Syracuse common councilors who failed to get support from the Syracuse Democratic Committee this spring, has announced a primary run.Syracuse Councilor at Large Jean Kessner will soon begin gathering the 1,000 valid petition signatures she'll need by mid-July to wage a primary election to hold on to her seat.

This is the first geocache that we ever found and we found it by accident! Erez was worried that it was a bomb because it was in an ammo box . ; )
Here are the backs of the first few geotokens I made- I thought I should number them
Here are the fronts- I used polymer clay on large fender washers and made miniature desert landscapes. I put a varnish on over top of them to help the clay stay on the metal but I think next time I will use a less glossy varnish. The shine obscures the details a bit.
Close up of # 7
The ammo box that we found by accident. I had not made any geotokens yet but I placed one of my "Mojave Monster" creations in the cache for the next guy to find.

Hi I was testing this plugin for compatibility with BPS per a user request and I could not get it working through WordPress. I was able to manually add some coding to get eXtplorer working and by going to the manual admin login to complete testing. I see that the plugin is still in Beta so I guess you are still working on it.
In any case the scenario was a primary domain account with WP installed in a subfolder. Thanks.

If potential big time TV markets is the reason for Delaney wanting to expand again, then why wouldn't he go after Georgia Tech for the Atlanta area, Florida State for the Florida market or Boston College for the Northeast? Maryland and Rutgers seem like leftovers at best.Hide replies
Balt/DC and NYC area - leftovers?
Eddie- I'm guessing he's referring to the fact tht DC/Balt/NYC are NFL towns while the South/SEC country is all about college football. Population is great, but if they dont care much for CFB what's the point?
Probably, but I don't know that they would get those teams.
My point was that those are not GROWING markets like those in the south
This whole downhill slide started when they let Michigan State in.
just a terrible idea. so now wisconsin will be playing these 2 instead of iowa and northwestern?all about greed. forget tradition. hate it!
Two thoughts: and opportunity to rename the divisions. And how will they get divided out? Geographically, you'll have MSU, Uof M, Indiana, and Purdue stuck in the middle. One of those combos would need to be split up. Don't see that happening, so it'll have to break a little differently.Hide replies
Let's hope so. I vote for an east and a west.
West: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Northwestern, OSU
East: Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan, MSU, Indiana, Purdue, PSU
Every school still gets their annual grudge match against a team in the other division, so OSU wouldn't lose their rivalry with Michigan, etc.
Horrible move. Maryland and Rutgers in the Big Ten? Seriously? But on the other hand, if San Diego State and Boise State can be in the Big East, then what should we expect? Traditions and geographical ties be damned.
As an FSU fan and alum, I congratulate Maryland for making this bold move. It is high time that someone sticks it to the ACC. Just wish it would have been FSU. Wish we could follow you on to greener pastures, but FSU administration is too stupid and too scared of Swofford to make him and the Tobacco Road Mafia crew angry. So, as you move on to a real athletic conference, enjoy yourself and pray that FSU will grow a pair like Maryland did. But I doubt it. Congrats to Maryland. You made the right decision, regardless of what many on here think and feel.Hide replies
Can FSU get into the SEC?
FSU should have joined the SEC instead of Missouri, who desperately wanted to join the Big 10 with Nebraska, but the Big 10 resisted an odd number of teams. It makes very little sense. That's what happens when $ rules.
I wasn't crazy about Nebraska because other than football, I didn't see what they added. I like this even less. Maryland - basketball, and ...?? Rutgers?!?
In the middle of trying to start up a Big Ten hockey conference, if you have to add teams (and you don't!), why not schools that have or could reasonably easily add hockey?
It's all about football and the related money. So what will that look like? One gets added to each division, and your six team division now has seven teams. So your eight game schedule is the other six in your division plus your 'rival' (that is, Minnesota) and ONE other team from the opposite division?!? Badgers only play Michigan every sixth year? Or two years in a row (if home-and-home), and then not at all for TEN YEARS?!? Same from MSU, same for Iowa? So do they add a ninth conference game at the expense of a non-conference game? Probably not, because that costs everyone money.
Even if this is about football money, this isn't expanding the Big Ten, this is destroying it.
I HATE this.Hide replies
Get rid of one of the stinker non-conference games, and add another conference game. Problem solved.
If this is all about football money - and it is - then they won't do that.
Because as a whole, the Big Ten makes more money if they sell twelve (or fourteen) stadiums' worth of tickets for a weekend's worth of non-conference games than they do in selling six (or seven) stadiums' worth for a weekend of conference games.
robert - I also don't think that they are done. I think they mean to get to 16 teams. Missouri and Texas?
as i said above, with 16 teams you'd have two eight team divisions, and you could call them the "Big Ten Division" and the "Those Other Guys" division.
Seriously, at what point is it no longer the Big Ten anymore? If we're not there already, we surely are close.
houston's right. Add a ninth conference game, and schedule three BCS conference schools for the three noncon games. Give the fans their money's worth and build through competition a competition-hardened football team.
This is obviously done to go and get two top media markets for rich television contracts because Maryland and Rutgers do absolutely nothing to add to the sports portfolio of the Big Ten. I honestly don't completely understand how the money flows with these contracts, but New York and DC are big-money markets, no question.
So the Big10 deciding to get even worse (if that's possible) by adding perennial suckhouse Maryland and possible farce Rutgers. Yay.Hide replies
speaking from a football standpoint.
This is ALL about BTN and cable subscriber dollars. Adding Nebraska was a smart move, as the institution is highly regarded, has a premier football program, and evened the league to 12 members. Rutgers and Maryland? UGH..... Maryland BB has cache...but Rutgers, the U of NJ? Yikes. Why increase to 14 other than to increase the number of BTN households with NY/NJ and DC/Balt markets now part of the B1G? One downside is each existing member is now going to have to share a smaller piece of the pie.

Brings me back.
Your use of the in-game sounds to enhance the essence of a gameplay sensation is outstanding. Wonderful job.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
seems less then your usual
to me, this seems like the music was completely based on being underwater the entire time. it has this aquatic feeling to it that never goes away. i know that was a major part of the plant, but the mechanics were also big, which is why i didnt give a higher score. bass is choking out the soul of the song.
on another note, the noises were a nice touch.... but remember moderation. the pinball noises shouldof been as far as it went. after that it started to sound like more of a jumble.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good good
good song love video game sound effects could be longe though and love that strigned instrument wats it called
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I emulate my sonics...
And it makes me wanna drop this track into sonic 2's music base -_-

Hello, my name is Samantha, also known as Sam. Don't confuse me for the historical.
To be frank, I don't know how to describe myself.
I was told the Owner would make up my personality, but she's been busy lately.
I tried to just live life with the other dolls, and it has been fun.
But there's only one other doll like me here...
I thought we were going to be close friends, since we're from the same company and all.
Plus, Felicity does look like fun.
But ever since the news of her retirement, she's been depressed.
Nothing was cheering her up, and she barely talks these days.
I had to turn to the photo stories the Owner made about Felicity just to get to know her.
But it was through this that I found out something interesting.
A mystery that Felicity had yet to solve.
"Hey, Megan, has Felicity found out anymore about the Owner's wanted doll?"
"Nope, there hasn't been much progress."
"Do you think Felicity will cheer up if she found out who it is?"
"Maybe. It definitely wouldn't hurt to try. Emo Felicity is really annoying."
So I made my decision.
I was going to get Felicity searching for the identity of the doll again in order to cheer her up.
But first, I had to plant the idea in Felicity's head.
"Hey, Felicity. We better change into our Christmas clothes."
"The Owner made me this really nice Christmas outfit.
What's your Christmas outfit, Felicity?"
"I DON'T have a Christmas outfit. I just wear my shift with a Santa hat.
The Owner said if I couldn't look fancy for Christmas, then I may as well look cute."
"Hey, maybe the Owner is going to get you your Christmas dress this Christmas."
"Doubt it."
"Hey, you never know.
Let's go check out the tree."
"Now, keep your eye out for a medium sized box. That's what the outfit boxes look like."
"Hey, Sam, is that the size of a doll box?"
"Yeah, looks like it."
"OH MY GOSH! This can't be! The Owner would never get a new doll for Christmas! It would never be worth the trouble!"
"Unless if that doll was her wanted doll."
"Hey...you're absolutely right, Sam!"
"Come on, Sam! We have to find clues for the Owner's wanted doll!"
"We'll probably find a clue if we check our Owner's collection of AG books!"
"Let's see, six Josefina books...four Kirsten books....four Addy books...six Rebecca books...and five Molly books."
"Wait, I have a sister?"
"So Felicity? Any ideas?"
"In terms of books, it's either Rebecca, Molly, Josefina, Addy, or Kirsten."
"So how do we pick one out of the bunch?"
"WAIT! I know who it is!"
"You do?"
"Follow me!"
"A few months back, I found Laura strangely familiar,
but I didn't know why."
"But now I figured it out!"
"She has Molly's hair!"
"The Owner must have noticed this,
so she bought Laura to act as a replacement for Molly!"
"But now that Molly is under the tree, the Owner finally has her wanted doll!
Gosh, I am so clever!"
"Are you sure it's Molly?"
"Sure I'm sure! Who else could it be?"
"You'll see that I'm right when the Owner opens her up on
Christmas Day!"
"Now then, let's go to sleep. The sooner we go to bed, the
sooner we'll wake up and see that I'm right."
I could only hope that Felicity was right.
If she turned out to be wrong, she could end up being even more miserable then before.
The next day...
"Hey guys! Merry-"
"Owner! Owner! Did you open your gifts yet?"
"You got a doll, right? Was it a Molly doll?"
I sat up as soon as I saw the Owner.
I kept on praying over and over in my mind that she got a Molly doll.
"Well, why don't you take a look for yourself, Felicity?"
"Yup, you sure did."
"For once, I managed to do something right! Who cares if I
couldn't stop my retirement? I was right about you all along!"
"...Good for you...?"
"Look, weird girl, I still feel kind of lost here. Can you tell me more about this place?"
"Sure thing, Molly!"
"So what do you think of Molly, Sam?"
"She's cool. Shame she isn't your wanted doll, though."
"Yeah, well Santa can't work miracles...wait how do you know?"
"I looked at the details."
"I've noticed you have sewn a lot of pioneer outfits.
I wouldn't have found this strange if you didn't have a replica of Kirsten's meet dress."
"Then there was Laura. While Felicity looked at her braids, I noticed she also had a pioneer-esque outfit."
"Since the album where you got Laura was after Kirsten's retirement,
you must have gotten her as a reminder of Kirsten."
"...Am I right?"
"Good eye, Sam. Kirsten was my wanted doll, and still is.
It'll probably just be a long time before I can get her."
"...That said, don't tell Felicity any of this, okay?"
"I wouldn't dream of it."
The End

Well to tell you the truth I did not buy my chicks from the Co-Op, I bought them from a friend down the road who happens to have an few acres worth of a large chicken coop which she has many different chickens. She has chicks and ducklings she sales but only if she knows you well.
I only buy feed at the Co-Op due to unable to find a better place to get such items.
I understand that chickens are treated badly but I make sure to treat my pets right.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Hey guys,
Thanks for wanting to help chickens! Unfortunately, "Cage-Free" doesn't mean it's cruelty-free. Those hens are still kept in cramped and filthy conditions, they just aren't kept in cages. Once their bodies can't give eggs anymore, they are still sent to slaughter. 🙁 Click here to learn more about what's wrong with eggs: http://www.peta2.com/about/frequently-asked-questions/what-is-wrong-with-eggs/
@enchantedbeginnings, while your chickens are definitely better cared for than factory farmed one's, the chicks bought for raising at home are bought from the same hatcheries that provide bigger farms. This means that the male chicks are killed right away because they are useless to the egg industry. 🙁
The only way to make sure we aren't contributing to animal suffering is by going vegan (luckily, tofu scrambles are AWESOME).
Thanks again and e-mail us at [email protected] if you have any other questions!

I happen to have chickens though I do not really use the eggs I collect daily. They are happy and are as free as can be in a safe way. They are in a frenced in area for their own protection due to the rouge dogs, coyotes, foxes, hawks and other such animals which are known to live in the mountain areas of Alabama.
The living space is very larger, digger then my own home is and I make sure they are as safe as can be so are safe and sound. I feed them three times a day and my family who eat a lot of eggs do notice a better taste and difference.
Cage free is the only way I will have my chickens, they are my friends and I could not think of looking at one and thinking of how some are in cages for the rest of their sad lives, being forced to lay eggs and then ending up on someone's plate them selves.
Inhumane, inhuman and insane.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
I would like to own Gandalf's ring .but in real life I am the proud owner of Nenya
About how they look, I would like an elvish ring(I'm a little elf after all). But about the power they have I don't want such a ring. I'm not worthy such power.
I would luv the 1 ring but i would give it back
I'm not a big fan of jewelry and I'd make myself insane by loosing one of those Rings, so I wouldn't risk it ;)
I'd love to see how looked the rest of the Rings - I mean design wise. How they would differ from the three Elvish rings.
The rings for Men created Wraiths who's lives would be unbearable.
The One Ring. Really only usefull to Sauron.
So it would have to be one of the Elven rings. Would mind which really as their power differed depending on the Wearer or Bearer.
Brego likely means that the One wasn't useful to others because employing it would only lead to another bad guy. So just to add (that is, the following is not a 'correction' of anything anyone has posted)...
'... he was not 'diminished'. Unless some other seized it and became possessed of it. If that happened, the new possessor could (if sufficiently strong and heroic by nature) challenge Sauron, become master of all that he had learned or done since the making of the One Ring, and so overthrow him and usurp his place. This was the essential weakness he had introduced into his situation in his effort (largely unsuccessful) to enslave the Elves, and in his desire to establish a control over the minds and wills of his servants.'
JRRT, 1951, to M. Waldman
I'm pretty sure someone in the film Council of Elrond states (something like) we cannot wield it, none of us can (again, possibly not a direct quote), although the filmmakers do show the temptation of Galadriel in any case, and maybe they explain things elsewhere too.
So this is not a film bash but just in case there is any confusion, in Tolkien's world Sauron's enemies could make use of the One.
I wouldn't even consider having the One Ring, since it's nature is purely evil. Yes, the power is amazing, but it's also very scary thing to have. You know, "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I'm pretty sure someone in the film Council of Elrond states (something like) we cannot wield it, none of us can (again, possibly not a direct quote)
That's correct. I believe it is Gandalf who says that "We cannot use it", when he reactes to the words of Boromir, that the One Ring is "a gift". Oh well, I saw the movies was too many times! ;p
that is, the following is not a 'correction' of anything anyone has posted
Haha, Galin, you seem to be aware of how your wide knowledge can scare off other posters! :) I love that :)
That's the last thing I want Indis (for anyone not to post). I love posting about Tolkien because it's Tolkien, and I don't engage in a lot of other types of things, like fan fiction or games (nothing wrong with those of course)...
... so sometimes I just pick up on something (even admittedly sometimes a pedantic detail) so I can blather about it. It's fun if the 'blather' is about the Master and his amazing world!

Bad karma: we can't find that page!
You asked for http://www.medicexchange.com/sonosite/sonosite-named-ultrasound-provider-for-the-nba-and-nba-development-league.html, but despite our computers looking very hard, we could not find it. What happened ?
- the link you clicked to arrive here has a typo in it
- or somehow we removed that page, or gave it another name
- or, quite unlikely for sure, maybe you typed it yourself and there was a little mistake ?
It's not the end of everything though : you may be interested in the following pages on our site:

Reality Bending Benefit
New Museum and artist Ed Fornieles Hosted an Amplified Version of an Art-World Gala
Thursday night at the New Museum, artist Ed Fornieles hosted "New York New York Happy Happy (NY NY HP HP)," a "semi-fictional benefit."
The benefit part was real. Proceeds from the event went to Rhizome, the New Museum's partner for new media art that put on the event with performance art biennial Performa 13.
The party guests were fake—sort of.
Curious about the culture of charity galas, Mr. Fornieles staged a party that mixed performers-as-guests with paying guests, to create an amplified version of an art-world benefit. Before the event, he assigned personas and back stories to 50 actors. He gave each of the attendees "key words" that they could "filter their reality through."
"Everyone is playing extensions of themselves. It's modeled after reality TV," said Mr. Fornieles, a British performance and installation artist whose investigations include awards shows and fraternity parties. "I'm interested in tapping into the cult of the extrovert—how characteristics of the extrovert are like the characteristics of success, essentially."
In attendance that night: a pregnant twerking girl; a hapless foreign gentleman who "knew someone who knew someone"; and a sweet-faced healer who beat people with flowers in the VIP section. There was an art-party frequenter with little art knowledge but macho enthusiasm. He played a version of Patrick Bateman from "American Psycho." After conversing, he ran off to his next cue: "I have to go hit on that exact girl!"
As the night went on, it became more difficult to tell who was a performer. There were many performers, but seemingly not many guests. Or were Mr. Fornieles's directives just that good?
Early evening burlesque segued into a fashion show, which turned into Chippendales-style stripping. Models draped in cold cuts were carted out—a sendup of the sushi-on-a-model's-body trend of the "Sex and the City" epoch. Later on, returning to the party after a limo ride (complete with performers as obnoxious, drunken guests), the room had filled with white feathers and confetti.
The last event of the evening was noted on the organizers' Excel scheduling spreadsheet as "22:50: ORGY."

Welcome to the forums! In essecene you are correct everyone wants it stat but aalot dont realize the disproportion until they dig in. This site is truly learning about your inner child the wants vs. the needs. We try not to judge as many people find themselves in these situations not because they were reckless but many other factors. If u hadnt noticed unemployment is a tad high. People get sick. Many things happen. To generalize everyone on these borads is a shame because I think everyone has unique and varying circumstances. My personal advice is dont judge! it's not proper or polite. I hope u enjoy the vast wealth of info we all share with each other.
