About the Property
House, 4 Bedrooms + Loft, 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 8)
One of the unique benefits of Marina Breeze is that it has dual Master Bedroom Suites (one downstairs and one upstairs), both with a full private bathroom. The two other upstairs bedrooms both sleep 2 with a queen bed in one, and two twin beds in the other. The loft has a pull out sleeper sofa, so everyone will sleep comfortably.
One of the fun attributes is the iron spiral staircase that leads up to the third floor cupola and tiered rooftop decks. A pair of extremely comfotable mission style rockers are up in the cupola, that have been known to induce a nap or two.
Although there are plenty of restaurants nearby, Marina Breeze has a full modern kitchen with plenty of counter space for both cooking and serving, and a gas grill out back.
We hope you get a chance to experience our warm Ellison Bay environment, watch the sun set over the marina and Ellison Bluff, and come to enjoy this little slice of the world as much as we do. Ellison Bay offers the charm of a quiet Artists community, while being centrally located between Washington Island and Sister Bay. It's just the perfect place to spend quality time with family and friends.

Other Amenities
- Marina Breeze has a brand new rooftop deck with one of the best views of Ellison Bay around. Relax and enjoy sunsets with friends and family from this truly unique vantage point. The 'Sunset' deck is actually a split level deck off of the third floor cupola. Our family has a strong tendency to head up to the cupola and the deck for a late afternoon snack and a glass of wine, and often end up staying there through sunset. After a day of Door County sightseeing, it is a very comfortable,very private deck area with 250 square feet of space where you can have a great finish to your day without going anywhere. We love it and we hope you will too. In the morning, the cupola and the deck are great for you early risers who want a cup of coffee, a book and some solitude. As you can tell, this is one of my favorite spots in our home....moreless

Car: Recommended
For the runners and cyclists, you will not find a nicer place for recreational or training runs and rides. Start your run or ride at the front door, and two quick left turns out of the condo association and you are on your way to some of the nicest roads you can imagine. With slight rolling hills, and well paved tree covered back roads that follow the shoreline, it is pretty hard to beat. I have been fortunate enough to run in a number of countries, and this is one of my all-time favorite routes. If you are just out for fun or in training for the big run or ride, you can pick any number of routes and go as far as you want with little traffic. Of course the best ride is the 3 miles to the Wagon Trail Restaurant to get a giant cinnamon roll to balance out your caloric outflow!
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: Bob & Sherry Stein love Door County, and enjoy the peace and unique qualities of Ellison Bay.
Why the Owner Chose Ellison Bay, WI, USA:
We came up to Door County to visit with friends, and fell in love with the quiet charm of this artist community. There is great fishing, golf, shopping, dining, running, cycling, etc. all within a very short distance. The ability to get away from it all, and have plenty to do when we want to is irresistible. Ellison Bay is one of those areas which has yet to be discovered, but is close to all of the activity in some of the other Door County communities. The condo association itself only consists of seven condos (all new), with a full build out of 10-12, so it will never lose that small community appeal. If you loose the car keys for a week, you could walk to food, shopping, the beach and marina, so it is pretty hard to go wrong. A very short stroll will get you to the Viking Grill for meals, or their fish boil on some nights. In short, we came up and Ellison Bay had so many good things that we decided to build here.

Blogs HNN SNOWE: HEALTHCARE BILL IS LEGISLATIVE INSANITYDec 21, 2009 12:20 pm
Olympia Snow Faced The Nation and told Bob Schieffer a story he did not wish to hear:
BOB SCHIEFFER: Why in the end did you decide you couldn't do it?
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: Well, Bob, at this point anyways, I deeply regret that because I-- frankly, I've been fully immersed in this process for a better part of the year, both my staff and myself, because I'm committed to health care reform. I believe that the current situation is unacceptable and unconscionable when you think about rising health care costs. And that's why as the only Republican on the Finance Committee I voted for legislation. I did have some problems with that particularly legislation but I said at that time the credibility of the process going forward would determine the credibility of the outcome.
So here we are today with a bill that's dramatically different, more expansive than the Finance Committee. In fact, it's twelve hundred pages more than the Finance Committee legislation. It was placed on the floor just short of three weeks ago. Four hundred amendments and only two dozen have been considered voted upon. And four hundred members are not unusual since each of the committees that considered the legislation have had more than five hundred amendments.
Then, um, less than twenty-four hours yesterday we get a four-hundred-page amendment that was filed by the Senate majority leader. We are scheduled to vote on that major amendment fifteen hours from now, one o'clock in the mo-- morning, with no opportunity to amend it. All to get done, the entire bill, with no opportunity to amend it to change it by Christmas, so that we can adjourn for a three-week recess for a bill that doesn't become implemented until 2014.
BOB SCHIEFFER: Well, what was the tipping point for you? What was it that happened that made you say I just can't do it?
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: Well, I sorted through a number of issues. I have been in countless meetings, um, every-- meetings and telephone calls, meetings with the President, meetings with the majority leader, and a number of people across-- across the aisle without question. The problem is the bill became bigger. A-- the-- it-- it has the CLASS Act which is a whole new entitlement that, frankly, will-- will-- be-- turn in the red five years after the benefits begin.
BOB SCHIEFFER: Now, what is that?
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: It's a-- it's for a long-term care insurance and it's a whole new entitlement. In fact, half of those revenues that will be set aside for a-- a vesting period will be used to calculate the deficit reduction over the next ten years. That's where they derive half of their deficit reduction. Then you have a whole new layer of taxes, the Medicare payroll tax and we have good tax subsidies and I applaud Senator Landrieu, that you'll be hearing from in a moment, on those tax subsidies for small businesses.
But on the other hand you have a one-percent Medicare payroll tax on small businesses affecting them disproportionately at a time we're depending on them to create jobs to lead us out of this recession. It-- it's not indexed for inflation. It's a sixty-two percent increase. So, this will be devastating for small business as well. I have submitted a CBO letter a-- on December 3rd with substantial questions on what is the premium cost for every American who'll be participating in the exchange, what-- what can they expect.
As they're sitting around their kitchen table, they expect certain answers to certain questions. We don't have those answers to those questions. And that's why I indicated to hold off. I said to the president and I said to the Senate majority leader and others, please, give us the time; come back after the new year; get together. This is a generational issue that has substantial effects with-- in fact, I would say sweeping effects--
BOB SCHIEFFER: Mm-Hm.
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: --because you're coun-- recalculating one-sixth of our economy.
BOB SCHIEFFER: All right.
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: And, frankly, we're treating it as if it's the legislative appropriations at the end of the year. It's like the last train leaving the station; we're going to dump everything in there.
BOB SCHIEFFER: Let me ask you this. It's my understanding that, even after Leader Reid announced that he had the sixtieth vote, the sixty votes he needs, you s-- met again with President Obama. What was-- what was that about?
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: Correct. The President, you know, and I have-- have worked together on this issue. And I applaud him for, you know, his knowledge, his grasp of the issue. It's his major and highest domestic initiative, on this issue, and he wants to get it done this year, and encouraging me to support the legislation. And as I indicated to him, I'll continue to work through our House and Senate conference but the legislation that is pending, this process denies us the ability to thoroughly and carefully and deliberately evaluate what is at stake. I mean, we're talking about reordering thirty-three trillion dollars over the next ten years.
BOB SCHIEFFER (overlapping): Well, do you-- was the reason for this meeting was he asking you to vote for this thing when it comes out of conference? Is that what it was?
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: No, it was the pending legislation.
BOB SCHIEFFER: But you told him you couldn't?
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: That I had-- yes, that I had problems, because the process is denying me and others, for that matter, the opportunity to amend it, on a big bill.
Why Christmas? There's no-- there's no magic deadline. This"beat the clock" is really overruling--
BOB SCHIEFFER (overlapping): Let me ask you--
SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE: --legislative sanity.

Challenge of Faith
Challenge of Faith
By Arley Steinhour 072711
When our feet are closest to the ground,
When we know the wrong end is facing 'down;'
We know we're prayerfully inverted,
In Faith we must be heavy skirted,
Only then, from God, we receive a Crown.
When to others we witness with a lie,
When We know our soul is about to die;
Only Truth must any hearer hear,
Praising God with Love's Agape fear;
Only then can Faith take wing and fly
When at Church on Sunday, Strutting we be found,
When people weigh our faith-oration by the pound,
Then at Bema, what a blaze,
Twigs and paper be our praise,
'Works,' dust and ashes, then returns to ground.
Can we be Christian because we say we are?
Can we beam God's Love, both near and far?
If we selfishly do hold it in,
We've committed a Cardinal Sin;
Then punishment be meted out, with Iron Bar.
If you walk to Jesus down the Church House aisle,
Or turn to Him, arms raised with tear filled smile,
Salvation washes over you;
Never more a debt is due;
Holy Ghost moves into heart Eternal, plus a while.

If you want to make some fabulous noise-makers for your New Year's celebration, we have a list of great designs that will ensure you are ringing in the New Year in style.
After the holidays are over, many of us are thrilled to celebrate just one more time by ringing in the New Year. The start of a New Year means creating resolutions, excitement at what is yet to come, and closing the current year with a fabulous celebration. If your New Year's Eve plans involve going out to festive parties or celebrating at home, noise-makers are always a necessity.
After the holiday spending spree, buying noise-makers to help ring in the New Year may not be in our budget. Fortunately, there are many great do-it-yourself noise-makers that are quick and simple to make. Even better, if you are a mom, you can involve your kids in New Year's celebrations by making these easy and inexpensive noise-makers with them while they are home on winter break.
DIY Noise-Makers
Creating stylish noise-makers is incredibly easy and very fun. You can let your personality shine through.
- Plain noisemakers
- Craft paint in your favorite colors
- Glitter and glitter glue
- Paintbrushes
- Streamers
- Glue gun
- Sequins (optional)
- Start by thinking what design you want to create. Pick your favorite colors and glitter.
- Apply glitter to the plain noisemaker. It is better to apply your glitter and glitter glue first to avoid glitter getting in places where you don't want it to be. Place your glitter where you like and paint around it. You can create a chevron print, a sparkly glitter look, or any design you would like.
- Finish by using the glue gun to add the streamers and sequins.
Paper Horns
Yet another DIY noise-maker is a paper horn made with card stock. This is another design that allows your personal style to shine.
- Light card stock in any design you like
- Inexpensive party horns
- Scissors
- Hot glue
- Your choice of embellishment
- Start by taking your party horns apart. Then, trace them on the card stock to ensure you cut the right amount of paper.
- Once you have your horn pattern traced, cut out the design on the card stock paper and put the horn back together.
- Add the card stock paper on top of the horn and glue on.
- Once you have the edges glued on just right, add the plastic noisemaker piece on the bottom and secure.
- Next, you can add your embellishments. You can take streamers in a coordinating color and fan them around the top, add sequins and glitter or sparkly ribbon. Let your creativity shine through in your design!
Another fun option is to make a noise-maker that includes bells.
- Wooden stick from the craft store (makes sure it's thick and includes a round top)
- Any color bells
- Thick ribbon for the stick, thin ribbon for fastening the bells
- Hot glue
- Take your wooden stick and wrap the thick ribbon around the base, securing with the hot glue.
- Next, take your thin ribbon and wrap it through the bells, then secure on the wooden stick by tying it in a bow around the round top.
- Add any other embellishments you would like, but this noisemaker looks great with just the ribbon, bells and bow.
New Year's Eve is a perfect time to enjoy and celebrate what's yet to come. Enjoy making these festive noisemakers to help you ring in the New Year!


text: Yes, and DVD will never be the cure-all solution for having had foresight thirty years ago. Because as we've seen time and time again, some shows will never come out and many that do will be tinkered with (Northern Exposure, all of the Cannell shows, My Three Sons, etc.) Unfortunately, getting on board thirty years later carries with it many disappointments. Sorry that bringing up lack of foresight is such a sore point but I suppose I would be angry as well if it was me that was in that situation. One can't go back in time and correct those choices. But, hey, you can also feel better about all of the time and money that you didn't spend on recording shows that DID come out in much better quality than those old 16mm off-air records. Two sides to every coin and look how much you saved by not recording things like Man From UNCLE, The Fugitive and hundreds of others series that eventually made it to DVD.

Vetch question
Observed: 15th May 2012 By: Germander Speedwell
Added: 15th July 2012
Can anyone help identify or explain this vetch? It was growing alongside Common Vetch, and while its flowers are the same and also grow singly or in pairs, its leaflets are rounded unlike that of the Common Vetch, as you can see in the photos. I haven't found in my books any other vetches with this combination of flowers and leaf shape, so could this be a variation, a hybrid, or simply another species that I haven't read about?
Other observations of Common Vetch (Vicia sativa)
Species with which Common Vetch (Vicia sativa) interacts
Could it be Bush Vetch? I
15 July 2012 - 4:16pm adele16
Could it be Bush Vetch? I found Bush Vetch growing among Common Vetch recently.
Questionable Vetch
16 July 2012 - 3:02pm Germander Speedwell
Hello - many thanks for looking at it. I had initially thought Bush Vetch, but according to all my identification guides, the flowers of Bush Vetch appear in groups of 2-6, whereas the flowers of this one appeared singly or in pairs like the Common Vetch. Also the leaflets of Bush Vetch get narrower and smaller along the leaf stem, unlike this example where they all seem the same in size and shape. That's why I'm so confused about this one!
Could it be a hybrid of the two - as you say, if they commonly grow together, perhaps they could hybridise?
Identified - Common Vetch subspecies
5 August 2012 - 11:47am Germander Speedwell
Hello - further to the above, the staff at the Angela Marmont Centre have confirmed that this is a subspecies of the Common Vetch, most likely Vicia sativa ssp segetalis. That explains why it resembles the Common Vetch so closely apart from the shape of the leaflets.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Thanks for sharing that;
7 August 2012 - 7:47pm adele16
Thanks for sharing that; interesting to know.

I am unemployed and filled out a resume on the internet to be a secret shopper about two months ago. Just the other day, I received a letter informing me that CORPRATE MONITORING & RESEARCH GROUP wanted me to be a mystery shopper aka customer service evaluater. I was extatic because they were offering me 450.00 PER WEEK!!!!!
All I had to do was deposit a check for 3,995.00 into my checking account and wait until it cleared, then call Tracy Jacobs my co-ordinator and she would give me the names of whom i would transfer over 3,000 to. Also, I would recieve 100.00 to purchase anything of my choice. I deposited the check into my account then contacted my bank after looking up this company. So BEWARE, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is!!!!

From the moment I read "unattractive", my answer would be: "Get yourselves a total workout in the gym and/or book appointments with estheticians who are paid for that, men. Then come back to give your opinion after you get laid."

Hikikomori: Why are so many Japanese men refusing to leave their rooms?
A lengthy BBC News report on the phenomenon including interviews with psychotherapists who treat it as a mental illness and the therapeutic methods they use.

Hikikomori: Why are so many Japanese men refusing to leave their rooms?
I highly recommend reading the full story. Even better, listen to the original radio documentary on which the text article is based. It's the last in a six-part series about mental health issues all around the world and yet another example of the BBC World Service at its best.
For my part, two things stand out in particular. Firstly, the passage above about how Japanese families and youth found it hard to adapt to the socio-economic changes that destroyed the "conveyor belt" stability of their lives prior to the 1990s. I can empathise with that to a certain extent, as I experienced a similar sense of dislocation during the same period.
Singapore didn't undergo the same problems as Japan at the time, but something definitely changed. The dot-com bubble happened, aong with the attendant upheavals wrought by the "information revolution". Up till then, it was the norm for the best and brightest students in Singapore to win prestigious civil service scholarships, attend the best universities in the world, and return to a fast-track career in public service. As civil service leaders, these highly intelligent and often idealistic youth would find ample opportunity to rub shoulders with the political elite — and to "change the world".
But the increasing sophistication of the new economy opened up new opportunities in other careers that promised greater rewards. So, within a generation, priorities changed. Where once we had a cohort of youth who believed in a socialist vision, we now have young men and women who are more likely to think first about fattening their bank accounts.
Looking back, I believe I was caught at the pivot point between two generations, two different worldviews. It was not a happy period for me.
My second point is less personal and more speculative. The BBC documentary touched briefly about conditions observed elsewhere in world with similar symptoms as those of the hikikomori. This raises a nagging doubt that has bothered me for a while, especially whenever I see AnimeSuki members talk casually about being "hikikomori" themselves. I suspect that some of it may actually be copycat behaviour, not unusual among the impressionable young.
That in itself may be another story altogether. I welcome your thoughts and comments.

I read the article and it had a lot of inaccuracies, I hope the documentary itself is better... but my first impression is that they are trying to make popular correlation and present these as causes for the situation... pushing under the carpet the real problems that are not limited to Japan.

Just 16 million men in the prime of their lives over a population of 130 million, that's just damn too low and it looks even more worrying with the number of kids out there. It's one more reason to write up something new and fast about birthrate incentives to make up for that lost generation in the next one at the same time they invest money in mental health services (that also includes support for families) to get those hikikomori out of the house at all costs.

Judging from the timestamps, SeijiSensei posted his message while I was in the midst of editing mine. In any case, I'll leave my post as it is, as I was hoping to extend the discussion beyond the hikikomori phenomenon, which most members here are, in any case, already familiar with.
For my part, my major quibble is with the tenuous attempt to describe the condition as a "mental illness". To the producers' credit, they did manage to get a Japanese specialist to clarify the point. In the documentary, the expert said it is not at all clear whether it's an "illness" that led to the withdrawal, or whether the withdrawal itself leads to an "illness".

@TinyRedLeaf: I will elaborate when I watch the documentary, the article only by itself is rather superficial for making my mind. As for the real problems, I was thinking about inaccessibility to education, exclusion to people of a certain background within corporations and the government, military-like practices in the workplace, social pressure to achieve pointless milestones in life that end up making it harder, and the almost complete marginalization of alternative lifestyles... most of these are not limited to Japan, but are prevalent to a greater or lesser extent in every country.
Some of the problems I see with the article are the direct link between ones inability to integrate in society with the hobbies that he/she has which themselves help him to retain some form of social life since society itself has already ostracized him. Also another very annoying point was the insinuation that hikkikikomori are more likely to become violent, while the few violent crimes that occur in Japan are from overworked and socially integrated members of their society.
I have more issues with the article, but as I said it might have been just the presentation and the documentary itself won't be another superficial hate-fest about something that the mainstream just "does not get" and wants to destroy it.

Personally I thought the presentation was pretty balanced and sympathetic, but then I don't live in Japan. I did not think the violence aspect was overplayed; they mentioned that the occasional young man has been known to attack his parents, but I didn't see hikikomori portrayed as a vast dangerous underground tribe.
Also the article itself doesn't mention any hobbies that I see; anime and manga are mentioned once in a sidebar. Are you talking about online gaming as a method of maintaining a "social life?" Do you see that as preferable to the therapeutic methods being used to help these people learn how to interact with flesh-and-blood humans? I certainly don't.
I think you are asking for the article to be a full-out assault on aspects of Japanese culture that you don't like. That's not what it is about, nor is it a likely subject for a journalistic article.
The other sidebar about women was rather intriguing. There may be many more girls and women in this group than we usually imagine. Saito, the psychiatrist, put the figure at 20-30% but an "Internet survey" by the NHK put the figure closer to 50%. (I don't put any trust in Internet surveys myself.) A researcher at the University of Glasgow speculated that "female withdrawal into the home seems so natural to Japanese society that women hikikomori may remain unreported."

About the sidebars, because I follow BBC online, they use the sidebars as bullet points or to provide context, and just throwing anime & manga there, along with sex crimes, while the article pretty much was irrelevant, and hardly verified this connection is a statement in itself. Add to that the western media lust to assault foreign to them cultures, and you can see why I am very apprehensive about what I am going to hear in the documentary itself.
These and having talked a little with a shut-in while in Japan, their depiction in popular media is generally very off target. I hope in this case they take their time and explain that hikkikomori are just an easy target for the society that creates them, and are irrelevant with otaku... oh! which is also oversimplified when defined.
EDIT: As a comparison, this guy has a very accurate and encompassing description about what an otaku is in a couple of minute (1:15-2:55)... this is where the BBC documentary about hikkikomori failed, they have no clear idea what they are, and confuse a lot of things that they want them to be.

Although there ARE social, and economical background to rising number of NEETs, IMO it's nearly dismiss-able to the biggest reason: because they can get away with it. Because the parents neglect to throw them out of their house, and ALLOWS lazy scumbags to leech off them, they take advantage of it... I mean, why not?
I chat with these ilk every day, the Japanese NEETs, and know for a fact that majority of them don't really have an excuse for why they bum out.
Of course, I'm talking about NEETs in general, and not just overall problem of shut-ins, which is often a mental illness case.
I'm rather unsympathetic to lazy young Japanese in general.

Apologies if there is a separate thread covering Japanese history, but a poster on another forum noted this BBC Radio 4 podcast looking at sakoku as was practiced during the Edo period.

Rubber-Suit Monsters Fade. Tiny Tokyos Relax.:
"For decades, Japanese studios dazzled, terrified and tickled global audiences with
monster movies and television shows featuring actors in rubber suits laying waste
to scaled-down Tokyos, or dueling atop miniaturized Mt. Fujis. The genre, known
here as tokusatsu, or special filming, helped take the Japanese film industry
global by creating such fabled creatures as Godzilla and Mothra, pioneering the way
for other fantasy genres like animé.
But now, in an era when lifelike digital effects have made the use of small models
and suited actors look quaint and kitschy, tokusatsu is rapidly becoming a thing of
the past. The last Godzilla movie shot in this style, the aptly named Godzilla Final
Wars, was released almost a decade ago, after a half-century span during which
the creature appeared in 28 films, sometimes every year."

"Since his death on a Persian battlefield in A.D. 363, the violent end of the Emperor Julian has become synonymous with the death of paganism. But how did a young philosopher-warrior, who ruled for only eighteen months, come to be seen as one of the most potent threats to Christianity?" "Driven by a burning hatred of the Church, rooted in the brutal murder of his family and the treachery of his Christian predecessor Emperor Constantius II, Julian dedicated his brief reign to the eradication of this new and dangerous cult. He vowed to rid the Roman Empire of heresy and restore paganism to the hearts and minds of its citizens." "Although vilified throughout history as the 'Apostate', Julian was an inspirational and visionary leader. He made appointments on merit rather than influence or money, cut down on bureaucracy and had an economic policy geared to avoid corruption and waste. His experiment with paganism may have ultimately failed, but Julian has long been a hero of secular humanists and critics of Christianity's historical record." "Drawing on Julian's own writings, and using extensive new archaeological and literary research, Adrian Murdoch explores the vivid, engaging and complex character of this controversial emperor. The Last Pagan will fascinate anyone with an interest in ancient history or the history of Christianity."--Jacket.

My Bestfriends
Poem by: clairelouisalou
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
You know the days when you feel sad and low People ask 'how are you' and you just say, I don't no Because of course, not many people know you well Don't know you enough, for you too tell How you actually feel inside Incase they laugh and you loose your pride Those couple of people, who really care And you trust enough for you to share All your secrets and how your feeling No awkward moments where you just stare at the ceiling We always have a laugh and joke Hyper with out any coke But those are the most happiest times I wouldn't trade it for no nickel or dimes My bestfriends, I simply picked the best Far better then any of the rest

oh cool i get to comment first this time (lol) another great poem (they are my fav :D). I loved the confused structure it really makes the feel of friendship in the poem so much better because friends can be confusing and interesting just like your wonderful poem!loved it!!! xxx :D (i do alot of smilies :) lol)
This is another rather adorkable poem. (yes adorkable. Because friends are dorks. ?) I thought the ryme scheme was catchy but sometimes it was off, maybe thats just because the formatting. (Not complaing I know you said you were going to fix it when you got home. I have no clue where I read that? I think you posted it on my page. Ummm haha)
I've felt like that before, where you just couldn't describe how you feel. It's the best when your friend can just hug you and know how it feels without you explaining.
Simbolical, amaizing and true. Great work

So check out some of his best b-ball moments on the court, and ask yourself… can you beat the president in a game? Would you even want to take that chance?

I placed an order of over $200 and never received it. I contacted their customer service immediately and have received no response. I placed the order 3 weeks ago and I contacted them a week ago and have received NOTHING in response, not even an email saying they are working on it. This is NOT a reputable company they are clearly keeping money from people. I have seen many other reviews like this. I have shopped at ASOS for years and have never had a bad experience, but don't wait for something like this to happen to you. I just wasted $200 and they are not even respectful enough to answer my emails. They don't care about their customers, worst experience EVER. I don't know if I will ever receive my money or the items that I ordered. I feel robbed

Chapter 3: Aria's DreamMature
Aria went straight to bed. Upon putting the covers around her frame, she sighed, "What a day..."
And, exhausted, finally stumbled into the embrace of sleep.
Aria looked around her, and saw nothing but flames. This damn dream again. She told herself. I should be past this by now... when will this nightmare stop tormenting me?!
Aria looked around her, and the flames continued to rise higher. She saw the slaughtered remains of her friends and family, and saw a figure in a black cloak and wielding a blood red sword standing in the flames... a figure dressed in golden armor beside him. Strange... never seen him before in my dreams. Aria told herself. But she knew what was going to happen next regardless. The man would approach her, and raise his sword...
But this time, something entirely new happened. A figure in black armor and red hair stepped in front of the man in the black cloak... and began to fight one another. Aria saw a fight she never thought she would ever see... The Dark Knight Alexander battling the Dark Lord Xeranad Lekard. The figure in gold approached Aria, and smiled warmly. "Enjoying yourself?"
"How can you say that?!" Aria answered angrily. "This is my home, my family... and you and your master have taken it all away from me! ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELVES FOR DESTROYING EVERYTHING?!?!"
The golden armored figure shook his head. "Who said we were proud of who we are? What could Xeranad possibly gain from such senseless destruction?"
Aria opened her mouth to reply... but no answer formed in her mind like she had expected. No words came from her opened mouth, and instead, a tear ran down her cheek. "I don't know..."
"Then answer me this... how would you act if something precious to you was taken so mercilessly from you, that everything you believed to be right about the world was turned upside down... how would you view life then?" The man asked.
"THAT'S ENOUGH." A voice echoed. "This is her dream... and you have no place in it... Hyperion."
The golden armored figure melted away to reveal a man dressed in blue and orange and black... Hyperion Tempus the Time Mage. Aria was immediately furious.
"How dare you invade my mind like this? This is my sanctuary! My sole place of solitude! What goes on in my mind is mine alone to ponder, no one else's!" Aria attempted to grb Hyperion, but he vanished.
Aria screamed in anger. "What the hell are you trying to tell me?! Why can't you just say it instead of giving me cryptic visions and riddles? Are you trying to drive me into insanity?"
No answer. Having nothing to direct her anger towards, she fell onto her knees and began to cry. "Why... why, why, why?" She kept asking herself...
"Aria... wake up!" Fujitsu's voice broke into her darkened dream like a ray of sunshine. Aria opened her eyes and sat up. She laid a hand on her pillow, and noticed that it was wet. She then put a hand on her cheek and felt it was wet too. She had been crying in her sleep.
"Are you alright, A-chan?" Fujitsu asked, concerned.
"I'm... I'm alright. Thanks." Aria didn't want to worry Fujitsu for no reason, so she hoped to let the conversation drop there.

Flag of Bolivia
After the War of the Pacific (1879–84) against Chile, Bolivia lost access to the Pacific Ocean and became, along with Paraguay, one of the two landlocked states in the Americas.
The country occupies an area of 1,098,581 km² (424,164 sq mi) it is about twice the size of Spain, or slightly less than three times the size of the U.S. state of Montana. About one-third of the country is covered by the Andean mountain range.
Bolivia has a population of 11.4 million people (est. 2016), it is one of several states with two capitals: La Paz (officially: Nuestra Señora de La Paz) is the seat of national executive, legislative, and electoral bodies, and Sucre the legal capital and the seat of the judiciary.
Spoken languages are Spanish (official), Aymara, Quechua, Guaraní and 34 other native languages.
This page aims to give you a broad overview of Bolivia's art, culture, people, environment, geography, history, economy and government.
Plurinational State of Bolivia | Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia
Country Profile
Bolivia, named after independence fighter Simon BOLIVAR, broke away from Spanish rule in 1825; much of its subsequent history has consisted of a series of nearly 200 coups and counter-coups.
Comparatively democratic civilian rule was established in the 1980s, but leaders have faced difficult problems of deep-seated poverty, social unrest, and drug production.
Current goals include attracting foreign investment, strengthening the educational system, continuing the privatization program, and waging an anti-corruption campaign.

Divorce Map, Pt. 2
Yesterday, we talked about Patch's new Divorce Maps, which show you where the divorced people in your town are congregating so that you can avoid those areas or, perhaps, start up specialty businesses that cater to divorcees.
Last night I heard from social scientist Eva Kaplan, who had an insightful comment about how these kinds of things get made. Here's her email:
I am a social scientist who works a lot with techies to understand how to better use data. I think what we have with divorce map is an interesting technical experiment with data that misses the relevance to, um, human beings. I see this all the time in my work. What Patch is trying to do is take national datasets and make them locally relevant. The problem is that there are not that many national datasets that can be geolocated, and so you get things like this-- one of the ironies with all the big data hype is that, despite the whole "data, data everywhere" thing, the gaps are still pretty basic and profound.
Divorce map, to me, is very typical example of a tech-driven use of data, rather than an editorial driven use of tech. It is interesting in a technical and conceptual sense, but should have stayed in the "lab" until there was an actual story to tell.
Thanks, Eva! And if you want to get in touch, please tweet at us or send an email.

Granite Construction has been awarded an $11 million contract torebuild the interchange at Interstate 15 and California Oaks Roadin Murrieta.
Council members awarded the contract Tuesday.
Murrieta Public Works Director Pat Thomas said construction work is expected to begin in February, and take 18 months.
The work will entail rebuilding the turn lanes that drivers use to enter and exit the freeway into through traffic lanes, which will make California Oaks a six-lane road with a median.
A new loop ramp will be built so drivers heading west can access 1-15 south from the right lane. They'll also be able to access I-15 north from the far right eastbound lane of the road.
City officials had set aside more than $21 million, making this the second freeway project to cost half the anticipated price.
The Clinton Keith Road/Interstate 215 project, which involves widening the Clinton Keith Road bridge and rebuilding freeway ramps, was expected to cost $26 million, but the low bid was $12.6 million. That project is 70 percent complete, Thomas said.
