|Reviews for Zero Visibility
| YukiAme chapter 1 . 3/22/2010
Loved your story. As used as they are to ignorance and sand being thrown in their wheels by the very beings they are trying to save, it must get to them at some point. Well introduced review of the current situation too. Thank you for sharing
| TheKritty chapter 1 . 3/22/2010
What a GREAT characterisation!I loved it! You totally nailed the boys, seriously!
I feel so sorry for them, especially for Dean!I mean, how can you NOT feel sorry for them,right? And some people might say " 's just a car" but it's for the Winchesters (und us).It means so much to this was a great idea,it really made my heart hurt like hell.
"Listen up, Potential Blood Addicts and Vessels, just say no."
- That's...Supernatural-ish, jeez!Despite the angst and the drama and tragedy, it cracked me up! *lol*
Very well done!
| badaiwind chapter 1 . 3/22/2010
It's beautifully written.
Yay, the hiatus almost over. :D
| annie200 chapter 1 . 3/21/2010
Loved this! Poor Dean, trying to help Bobby and kicked in the gut again, and so hurt by the fact that it's deliberate. And Sam's reaction was so perfect.
| pandora jazz chapter 1 . 3/21/2010
Always glad to see a new story from you and I will have to check out your auction.
I like Sam's thoughts, so true, I would imagine if Sam had time to even date, his whole past with Ruby would mess things up.
I loved Sam's worry when informed he needed to check on Dean and than how he worked on controlling his anger, because Lucifer wants Sam to be angry.
The Impala is part of the family, how dare someone hurt her. I felt bad for Dean, just one more thing he couldn't control and a family member he couldn't protect.
I did have to smile at Dean's thoughts and question to Sam about God taking care of the person who hurt the Impala.
I enjoyed reading your story.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
| fearlessgoddess2 chapter 1 . 3/21/2010
Lol, thats totally great, and I totally hope the guy that dented Dean's car gets smited! :D
| suz mc chapter 1 . 3/21/2010
You made ME a happy cabbage. :-) This is awesome. During a time of huge stress, it can be the little thing that gets to you. That car represents home to Dean. It's the only consistent thing in his life. Every one left. Baby stayed. Baby doesn't talk back or run off or judge him and when he got back from the pit, she was still there, just the same as before.
Hell, I want that video footage of who did it!

"I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended."
― Nelson Mandela
This is not your typical 'grass to grace', 'roaches to riches' or 'prison to palace' reflection. This piece seeks to dispel the myths we have about suffering. Most of the time, when bad things happen to us, or when we fall into one misfortune or the other, our first assumption is that we're being punished for something we did or didn't do. We try to immediately resolve the situation the best way we know or can. Other times, we may blame an external source such as others, circumstances or even God for a bad spell or event. Whether bitter or better, it doesn't matter how your experience with suffering felt like. What matters are these two important things that you must recognize about suffering:
a. Suffering cannot be avoided.
b. Suffering must be chosen.
Life beckons us to choose our own sufferings because we can't avoid it. What do I mean by this? First of all, I must mention that there are two types of suffering:
1. Self-induced suffering
2. Uncontrolled suffering
Self-induced suffering, as it eponymously suggests, is suffering that occurs, directly or indirectly, as a result of an intentional decision or choice made by the sufferer. The suffering could be either foolish, like suffering a divorce because you were unfaithful to your spouse. Or, it could be worthwhile, like the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela which eventually ended the apartheid regime in South Africa.
Uncontrolled suffering is simply what the sufferer endures directly or indirectly as a result of a decision or choice, made by an external party. The suffering could be purely accidental, such as being knocked over by a carelessly, speeding car while crossing the street. Or it could be intentional, such as being falsely accused of a crime you didn't commit.
Because suffering can be uncontrolled, none of us are immune to it - we cannot avoid suffering. Because suffering comes with every decision we are to make, we must ultimately choose our own suffering. Though it is viewed as a good decision, choosing a college education also comes with the suffering of years of self-discipline, sacrifices, putting up with people professors, parents; future debts, uncertainty of graduating, unemployment etc. The suffering in marriage is probably the worst, yet, all the brides and grooms feel it's worth it before they say, "I do". The family that moved from New Orleans to New York City after Hurricane Katrina, realized that they couldn't avoid the suffering from Hurricane Sandy. The fatherless daughter knows that she cannot avoid the suffering of the continuous absence of her single-parent, because her mother works two jobs. Suffering, pain, misfortune, calamity, crisis, problems, issues, however you choose to describe it, is a necessary step that all men must take in the journey of life. Since this is so, it is up to you to choose whether this necessary step will be a step forward or a step backward.
The purpose of suffering is to serve as the conduit to the next step in life.
Imagine suffering as a prison with two doors: the entrance and the exit. The entrance is always open, but the exit is opened per time, per time, at random intervals. Each time the exit opens, it either opens into a better prison(relief) or to the outside world(freedom). You will either be shoved through the opened entrance of the 'Prison of Suffering'(uncontrolled suffering) or you'll have to enter the prison yourself (self-induced suffering). Notwithstanding the method by which one gets locked up in the 'Prison of Suffering', what matters is that one must be locked up in it at least once in one's lifetime. And when you have entered the prison, the entrance door is slammed shut, forever. The only way out is through the exit (which opens without warning to either relief or to freedom). The prisoner must stay alert at all times in order to gain access to the exit when it opens. Not just that, depending on where the opened exit leads to, the prisoner must then choose whether he or she will exit the prison into 'relief' or to wait for the 'exit of freedom'. The better prison(relief), though it has more manageable conditions, is still a prison anyhow. One will eventually have to leave the better prison if they want freedom, or perish there.It doesn't matter why you're in the prison of your suffering, the solution is not found in better prisons - anything that provides temporal relief - or, in languishing in your cell - wallowing in self-pity and blame. The exit of Freedom (taking full responsibility for your life again) is the only true way out of the Prison of Suffering. Owing to this stark reality, it is important for us to embrace and utilize this imagery of suffering for our benefit. Since the Prison of Suffering is a necessary conduit for life, it is important for its prisoners to view it as a promotion - a step forward - otherwise, it becomes the worst experience in the prisoner's life. Doing time in the Prison of Suffering, is a time of waiting. This indeterminable period of waiting could become the next step forward or the next step backward, if managed properly or improperly, respectively. I may not know have all the reasons as to why the wait may be protracted or curtailed, but one thing I know is that; the wait depends on how ready you, the prisoner are for freedom, and whether the outside world is ready to receive you back. Hence:
Managing suffering requires that the sufferer be focused, self-disciplined, and vigilant as he or she prepares himself for the opportunity of true freedom.

Several kinds of fruit trees can grow in Pennsylvania, from sweet cherries to many kinds of apples. The soil, rainfall and climate of Pennsylvania accommodates home orchards and industrial fruit production. Not only people, but also birds and bears benefit from the summer-long harvest of cherries, pears, apples, chokecherries and other tree fruits.
Pome Fruit Trees
Pome fruit trees are apple (Malus genus) and pear (Pyrus genus) trees, and they grow quite well in Pennsylvania. Apple varieties that can be grown in Pennsylvania include the Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Jonagold and Braeburn apples. Pear varieties include Anjou, Bartlett, Keiffer, Magness and Moonglow.
While the Pennsylvanian climate accommodates healthy pome fruit tree growth, apple and pear trees require a disciplined pesticide regime in order to produce a healthy crop.
Stone Fruit Trees
Some stone fruit trees, like peach (Prunus persica), apricot (Prunus armeniaca), plum Prunus americana) and sweet cherry (Prunus avium) grow well in Pennsylvania. This genus of deciduous or evergreen trees produces beautiful blossoms and fruits with soft flesh that surround a hard pit. These trees produce from June through September and are sensitive to extremely cold winters and late springs. Seven species of the Prunus genus—including the Porter's plum, Appalachian cherry and the sand cherry—are native to Pennsylvania.
The chokecherry tree (Prunus virginiana) grows in Pennsylvania. This small tree has smooth bark that turns from light brown to gray over time and can grow up to 25 feet tall. People tend to steer away from the fruit because of the name, but chokecherries are edible and can be made into many food items. Chokecherry trees grow in clusters and bloom in the spring. Black bears love to eat chokecherries, as well.
Hardy Orange
The hardy orange (Poncirus trifoliata) is a close cousin of the citrus family. According to the USDA, this fruit tree lives in Pennsylvania. The fruit grows on small, deciduous plants and is winter hardy. While the fruit itself does not contain much flesh and tastes quite sour, it makes excellent marmalade and candied rinds.

We at p.h. balanced films LOVE films
that raise awareness of important issues! Here are several documentary films and a brief description (where available, from their official sites) that address issues of human rights abuses, supply chains, and corporate accountability. If you know of more that we should add to our list, give us a shout!
The Big Banana: A film set in Cameroon, where "[t]ropical fruit such as banana, pineapple or mango are widely cultivated for export toward the west, generating millions dollars profit to agro industrial companies," about how the expansion of fruit companies "to meet the western demand" leads to "expropriating farmers with the help of the local government, leaving land owner, and small farmers with nothing to fend for themselves and their families."
Blood in the Mobile: This film is the story about how our phones are connected to illegal mining in Congo (DRC). Every time we communicate through our cell phones we are associated with the crimes in Congo.
Big Boys Gone Bananas: This amazing film recounts the lawsuit that Dole brought against the Swedish filmmaker for making the film Bananas!
The Coca-Cola Case: Directors German Gutierrez and Carmen Garcia present a searing indictment of the Coca-Cola empire and its alleged kidnapping, torture and murder of union leaders trying to improve working conditions in Colombia, Guatemala and Turkey. The filmmakers follow labour rights lawyers Daniel Kovalik and Terry Collingsworth and an activist for the Stop Killer-Coke! Campaign, Ray Rogers, as they attempt to hold the giant U.S. multinational beverage company accountable in this legal and human rights battle.
Food, Inc.: This film reveals "that farming — of corn, soy and almost all other crops — is now almost completely controlled by several huge (and unsympathetic) corporations. For example, Monsanto has patented the strain of soy that is most widely grown and has found ways of prosecuting farmers who strive to avoid using their genetically engineered seed."
Inside Job: This film "provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse."
Black Gold: This film takes a close look at the coffee industry, specifically "in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. Tadesse Meskela is one man on a mission to save his 74,000 struggling coffee farmers from bankruptcy. As his farmers strive to harvest some of the highest quality coffee beans on the international market, Tadesse travels the world in an attempt to find buyers willing to pay a fair price."
Bananas: This documentary recounts the lawsuit that 12 Nicaraguan plantation workers brought against the fruit giant Dole Food Company.
Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility:
"Successful toy manufacturer and Ethos Institute founder Oded Grajew is the leader of a powerful movement focused on ending child labor in Brazil. In this visit with Grajew, he offers his vision for a more effective form of corporate responsibility — an evolved engine for social change and economic stability. Grajew teaches how both corporations and individual consumers can make significant social impact, particularly in emerging economies."
Deadly Deception: The documentary that addressed corporate accountability before doc films were docs were taking on such issues!
In the words of film organization Groundspark, this 1991 Academy Award®- winner for Best Short Documentary "uncovers the disastrous health and environmental side effects caused by the production of nuclear materials by the General Electric Corporation. The film juxtaposes GE's rosy "We Bring Good Things to Life" commercials with the true stories of people whose lives were devastated by the company's involvement in testing and making nuclear weapons."
Hot Coffee: "Because almost everyone has heard about the McDonald's coffee case, and most people believe they know what it's about, this project has a fascination for people. Of course, we go much further into the debate than just the McDonald's coffee case, but the case is a vehicle for people to think about their long held beliefs and whether they are valid."
King Corn: This film is an overview for the American consumer of what food production has become in the U.S. Though the role of companies isn't addressed in detail, you do get a sense of how companies such as Monsanto, ADM, Cargill, and Bayer impact what we eat. (Read more

Choosing hosting for your site whether it's a WordPress site or otherwise, is an important decision. You'll want hosting that is affordable, but price should not be the only factor. Sometimes "affordable" means that you don't get the features and functions you need.
Here's what to consider when shopping around for a host:
1. Is their control panel user friendly?
I am often surprised by how difficult some companies make it to just log in to the dashboard, never mind working within it. There are a lot of hosting companies out there who offer free videos, demonstrations, or tours of the dashboard area. Take advantage of them so you can know ahead of time whether it's a control panel/dashboard that makes sense to you and is easy to use.
2. Does the hosting company have FTP transfer?
You will be using FTP (file transfer protocol) to get music files, video files, sales pages and so on, into your hosted directory of files. See whether this process is easy. Some hosting companies are only compatible with certain file types. Find out beforehand.
3. Are they big enough to meet your needs?
How much space do they give you in your package? The ideal is where a hosting company gives you unlimited data space, bandwidth, and file size. You don't want to end up paying more money each month because your site (account) size exceeds their limits. There are many hosts out there who offer unlimited space and band width and who'll give you room to grow.
4. Server reliability
There hosting company should rarely have any downtime. If they do have downtime, you should be forewarned as to when and how long the servers will be down. Based on the downtime ratio of the most popular hosting companies out there, your host's servers should be up and running 99% of the time.
5. Security
Online business and security are essential partners. You absolutely need to know that your sites and content are safe from hackers, malware, and viruses. You'll want to know that your hosting company will do everything possible to protect your website/account. You also need to know that if your site is somehow hacked, that they will catch it immediately so there is minimal damage. A secure host is essential.
6. Features and functions?
Do they offer partner software in the dashboard that makes it easy to install apps like WordPress and others? Do they offer some sort of analytics that will monitor and report on traffic and website visitor behavior? Do they offer email associated with your domain name? Make sure your website host has most of your wishlist of features and functions before you sign up and transfer your domain.
7. User reviews
Check around on the net to see what people are saying about the hosting company you're thinking of hiring. Make sure the company has a solid reputation in the industry. See if they are known at all.
You should also know that there are a lot of resellers out there who offer hosting at an inflated price. Make sure you're dealing directly with the hosting company and not a reseller – you'll get the best price and customer support.
8. Compare price.
If a website host meets all of your criteria, AND fits your budget, then you've found a good company.
With so many really great hosting companies out there, there's no reason to get stuck with something that can quickly turn into a frustrating experience. Spend a bit of time researching companies that fit your needs and not the other way around.

Craft is the new fine art and ceramics are cool. Before Grayson Perry won the Turner Prize, or even threw his first pot, Richard Slee's unconventional vessels were moving as far away from any notions of utility as possible.
This retrospective looks at three decades of Slee's designs, from his early geometric Three Part Jug to his garish still-life tableaux to his celebrated series of Toby Jugs.
There's lots of humour and poking fun but sometimes Slee just gets silly. It happens most when he's parodying fine art - his 'abstract' Toby jug, for instance, or his Wheelbarrow Of Medusa, a bright yellow, boat-shaped wheelbarrow filled with cheap junk shop figurines that makes reference to Gericault's 1819 masterpiece The Raft Of The Medusa.
There are lots of jokes in this vein and it feels as if Slee is saying that, if he can't be accepted by the art establishment and his work is dismissed as vulgar, he'll stamp his feet and stick his tongue out at them.
Slee wishes to confront 'issues' with his pieces, hence the nuclear mushroom cloud, Small Tactical Device, or his genetically engineered Swuck, a hybrid Swan/duck. But they are as one-note as his jokes.
His best pieces are in fact the Toby jugs, minus the parodying abstract. They're fun and they resonate with the past, both culturally and with reference to the potter's noble craft.
Until Jul 4, Crafts Council, 44a Pentonville Road N1, Tue to Sat 11am to 6pm, Sun 2pm to 6pm, free. Tel: 020 7278 7700. Tube: Angel

Commanding the catwalk for Calvin Klein, Lanvin, Chloé and Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, Ajak Deng's career has thrived since moving to New York City in 2008.
The Vogue cover star has been the face of Jeremy Scott for Adidas and returns home to Australia next month to front the launch of River Island for The Iconic at Melbourne Fashion Festival.
The model's seemingly meteoric rise to the top is no mean feat, especially given her humble roots.
Ajak was born in Sudan in 1989, the second of eight children. When civil war broke out, her family fled from both rebel and government forces to a Kenyan refugee camp, where she lost her mother to malaria at age 12.
The family eventually settled in Melbourne, Australia. Ajak's father returned to Sudan and Ajak, then 16, was left to support her seven siblings. At first, modelling was just a means to an end.
With her dark brown complexion, short hair and outrageously long limbs, Ajak defies traditional beauty standards. To say she's striking is almost an understatement.
We caught up with the remarkable model and role model to talk her career, building body confidence and diversity (or lack thereof) in the fashion industry.
Where are you now?
New York. I just got back from Paris and I'm still jet-lagged!
You're due back home in Australia next month. What do you miss most about home when you're away?
That's easy. The food. My friends. My family. The weather. Sometimes I think, 'Why did I move to New York? It's so cold!'
Can you tell me about your family?
I have a lot of family around Australia, but my siblings live in Melbourne. They're growing up so fast - finishing school, one by one. I only get to see them two weeks once a year, over Christmas and New Year. It's really sad.
When I go home, they're so tall and they look so different. I can't stop staring at them and thinking, 'Who are you?' I have a 12-year-old sister who's so cute and looks like a mini-me. We're trying to keep her away from the modelling department for now!
Did caring for your siblings force you to grow up quicker?
Yes, for sure. Sometimes I feel like I'm 50. I find myself being friends with older people and I'm like, 'You do know that I'm 23, right?'
Growing up, were you always confident in your looks?
No. I would be lying if I said that I was.
There was one part in my life where I wished I could just wake up in the morning and find myself a bit different.
I wanted to wake up lighter. To be a shade lighter or three shades or four shades lighter, and have long, natural hair that was curly because I thought people would like me more if I looked a certain way.
Then I realised that, hey, you are who you are and you were born like that. You have to learn how to embrace it. Actually, it wasn't until I got my first boyfriend that I was like, 'Oh, I am pretty!'
Did modelling help?
Yes, for sure. Being in the industry and having my hair cut off, I had no other choice but to embrace my look - to embrace my skin colour, my brown eyes, my short hair and everything.
Who do you look up to?
Gisele and Naomi. They inspire me to want to do better.
What do you think about the lack of diversity on the catwalk? Does fashion have a problem with race?
Yes, I strongly believe it has a problem. Whether it's the designers or the people in charge, something needs to change. With everyone into fashion these days, the younger generation needs to see more diversity in the industry.
Have you ever experienced prejudice as a black model in a relatively whitewashed industry?
Yes. It's a product of our generation, our world.
Wherever you go, people will always point you out for your skin colour.
They'll say you're not supposed to go into places that everyone else goes to just because of it. I experience it everyday. Sometimes, when my day goes by without somebody saying something racist, I get surprised.
Does this happen during castings?
Yes, especially when you're in Milan. They don't even look at your book. They just look at your face and say, 'What are you doing here?'

Between lounging by the pool and walking the beach at the Somerset on Grace Bay, guests are invited to dine at the extremely casual Lunasea. No shirt, no shoes? No problem!
Chow down on unique Caribbean-style offerings from the Catch of the Day burger and Black Hill Conch Fritters to Coconut Shrimp Salad and Caicos Bank Lobster Wrap. Guests who need a break from a seafood heavy menu can order from the pizza or appetizers menu.
Lunasea is a bar and grill where they proudly serve their take on Caribbean cuisine. The formality level you should expect at this restaurant is very casual. The option to eat here is on the table during lunch only, so make sure to plan your visit around the limited hours they are open.
Set right by the pool, Lunasea welcomes everyone to dine at the restaurant in their most relaxed attire. All are welcome.
This restaurant is on the water, located along the western outskirts of Grace Bay, Lunasea is located at The Somerset On Grace Bay.
If you would like to combine your visit to the restaurant with some excellent sightseeing possibilities, you'll find at least a few notable things to see within close proximity, like Caicos Heritage House.
There are a few nearby outdoor pursuits to fill your afternoons if you're waiting for sunset. Those eager to get in a few good swings could set up a tee time at the closest golf course, Provo Golf & Country Club, which is within traveling distance of Lunasea. Another option would be to while away some time reclining on the sand -- Lunasea is positioned directly on Grace Bay Beach.
If you and your party are looking for another local restaurant with similar kinds of food or similar prices, there are lots of nearby dining spots to choose between, including Plunge.
However, if you want something a little different, this region of Providenciales has a long list of food and beverage venues that will surely satisfy almost every kind of diner. For instance, you might also enjoy a different kind of fare from a proximal place, like Parallel23, which is a short distance away.
Lunasea is open daily between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Location: Princess Drive, Grace Bay, Providenciales
Phone: (649) 946-5900

About Montreal
A cosmopolitan and fashionable metropolis, Montreal mixes European and North American influences in its architecture, fashion and culture like no other city. Home to some of the finest restaurants and liveliest nightlife on the continent, Montreal manages to be sophisticated yet very laid-back and welcoming.
Some of the main activities and attractions include:
- Old Montreal: With narrow, cobblestone streets and wondrous classical architecture, a trip into Old Montreal will make you feel like you've stepped across the Atlantic and back in time a few centuries.
- Rue Ste-Catherine: Cutting through the heart of the city's core, Rue Ste-Catherine and the surrounding avenues bustle with life day and night.
- Mount Royal: Accessible on foot, Mount Royal is well worth the effort of the trek up to the spectacular view of the city at the peak.
- Le Plateau: One of the city's most fashionable districts, the tree-lined Le Plateau neighborhood has a high concentration of Montreal's trendiest bars and eateries.
- See a hockey game: If you're visiting during the winter, taking in a Montreal Canadiens game at the Bell Centre is a must.
To maximize your comfort while staying in Montreal, a vacation rental is a spacious and convenient alternative to getting a hotel. The city has a wide range of furnished homes, condos and apartments available. If you're just in town for a quick visit, you can enjoy every comfort you'd have at home at prices to suit any budget. Montreal is roughly equidistant between Canada's beautiful capital, Ottawa, and historic Quebec City so if your stay is long enough be sure to check out the region's other draws.

Hey guys,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the http://www.avegost.com plug! We appreciate the plug and would like to plug you back.
We do have weekly and biweekly events to expand our community which, in all of my LARP experience, is one of the strongest. I host these personally although many of our players have had events.
We've had pool parties, "girls night out", combat practices, weekly movie nights, etc. Our movies do have a theme. We watch only realistic medieval films.
Lots of fun.
Who do i give the thank you to?

Young Leaders Rise Up: TXT 4 JUSTICE
Mikaela is sixteen years old and she works at a well known Seattle mall for her first summer job. She was unaware that the minimum wage is currently $10.50 an hour instead of the $7.25 national average that she is getting paid. She deserves to know — and we want to help. Unfortunately, every single day wage theft among young workers occurs. According to the Economy Policy Institute, in three major cities the combined wage theft was nearly $3 billion dollars for low income jobs.
The Solution
Our economic justice project this summer is Young Leaders Rise Up TXT-4-JUSTICE. Seattle has passed some of the best laws for workers: wage theft protection, ban the box, paid sick leave, but laws don't work if we don't know about them.
This campaign is an easy friendly text messaging program that informs young workers, ages 16 to 24, of their rights at work. We want young folks to have access to the laws that impact them, their families and community. I believe access is power.
You can find our team at Southcenter Mall, Capitol Hill, Seattle University, University of Washington, Seattle Street Food Fair, and Seattle Center and your next community event. We are on a mission to meet young folks where they live, work, and play. We are at 200 young leaders who know and your support will get us at 500 young folks served by Young Leaders Rise Up.
We encourage you to sign up for our Young Leaders Rise Up by texting "GO" to (206) 900 – 9569
Calling for Artists!
Mission: 21 Progress is calling artists to submit a piece of their artwork to our new Social Justice Art Gallery! This gallery will be comprised of various visual art pieces that reflect the community of 21 Progress and create conversation and action around various social justice issues such as immigration, deportation, police brutality, environmental justice, economic justice and worker's rights and more to reflect the communities we come from and serve – communities of color, youth, immigrants and undocumented youth and families.
Art Lending Library
The purpose of the lending library is to bring creativity and vision into our movement, implement art equity by supporting art activists and providing art to the community. From the gallery showcase, two artworks will be selected and purchased for community members to check out and bring into their homes or chosen spaces to make reflective and critical art more accessible.
Who is 21 progress?

Through popular education, civic engagement and arts & culture, 21 Progress assists emerging leaders – especially young adults and immigrants – to claim their place in building a more just society and reaching their dream.
How the Lending Library Works

DAPA Reaches Supreme Court
US v. Texas has now reached the highest court in the nation. On April 18, 2016 the US Supreme Court heard the oral arguments of both sides of US v. Texas, the case that is the center of the fight for DAPA and Expanded DACA. This means that the Supreme Court listened to the reasoning behind why Texas and other States are suing the US Government. Texas and other States are claiming that creating the new programs, DAPA and Expanded DACA, would be too much of a financial burden. However, the Obama administration is arguing that DAPA and Expanded DACA would bring in revenue to the state because of taxes.
A decision from the Supreme Court on DAPA and Expanded DACA has yet to be made, but one should be expected in June 2016. Until then, what happens to DAPA and Expanded DACA will remain unclear, but there is good support for these programs.
In the meantime:
- DACA is still in effect, so if you or someone you know might be eligible for DACA, get screened today by calling 206-579-1255 or visit www.itshouldbefair.com
- If you or someone you know might be eligible for DAPA or Expanded DACA get screened, save money, and start preparing your evidence (applications are not available yet).
- If you are an advocate, you can spread the word and inform others of about this important issue. Share this fun and short video about what's happening: https://youtu.be/P9x9gGIZ-pU

Confessions of a Formerly Undocumented Youth
Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, had the courage to come out of the shadows and share his story of being undocumented (defineamerican.com). This week New American Media shared another inspiring story of a young Filipino, Anthony Ng, who stepped out of the shadows with President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. You can read the full article here.
The story of Anthony's family is one that anybody who has faced hardship in their life can relate to:
"The older Ngs only had a high school education and no professional skills to compete in the already overcrowded labor sector. The Philippine economy in the late 1990s was in turmoil, devastated by natural calamities and political strife, and unemployment was at an all-time high.
'If you're a responsible parent, the only way out from seeing your young driven to such a miserable existence is to get out. That defines the choices for many overseas workers,' says Anthony."

Mini-baccarat was later introduced to bring the game within the reach of ordinary clients. No cover charge, no transport costs, no waiting for a table. Casino holders preserved its aristocratic image by setting the stakes high and housing the game in the plushest area of the casino. The American version is a combination of European baccarat and chemin de fer. In baccarat, the rules are more formal, and the game is always banked by the casino, although the deal passes from player to player.

Online baccarat is becoming increasingly popular, since the rules are simple, and the 'house edge' (the percentage by which any game favors the casino) is low. The original baccarat game evolved into what is now known as European Baccarat. However, many people are still attracted by the glamour of the original game, with its luxurious surroundings and exclusive atmosphere. Baccarat was first played with tarot cards, and there is a legend linking it with the ancient Etruscan ritual of the Nine Gods. The principles of play are the same in baccarat and chemin de fer, with just a slight difference in rules. You will still qualify for the weekly sweepstakes and other benefits

I, RozBen, do not own Young Justice, or its charaters; all rights to their proper owners. :)
This is now story, since i have gotten good reviews, but it was meant to be a one shot. Gimme your advice, ideas, and i'll try to mix them in. :)
A/N: Part 2! Muhahahaha! So long as i get reviews, it'll keep going. Warning: Con/Rob Slash!
"Too close together. Bats, i don't think this is coincidence."
"Its not. They've been put on Zucco's payrole."
Dick felt like all of the air had been forced out of his lungs and no matter what he did, it refused to return. He couldn't breathe, couldn't think. Ivy and Joker, the baddest of the bad, were on Zucco's payrole. His parents' murderer was still pulling strings and causing intence pain.
"Wait. Wait." he gasped. "Zucco and Ivy and the Joker are all in solitude. No visitors, no internet access, no nothing. How? How did he get a hold of them?" his eyes searched his mentor's face, trying to find something, anything. Maybe they had false information.
"We're still not sure how. Our best guess is that he had this set up from the beginning. Meaning he wanted to meet someone on the inside." Robin's hopes went out the window as did his self control. He knew there was a catch. He knew something bad was coming. He began shaking. "Dick. Zucco thinks your secret identity ratted him out, that Richard Grayson sent Robin to pound down his door."
"What does that mean?" asked Conner, placing a firm hand on Robin's shaking shoulder.
"It means Joker and Ivy are after Dick and they won't stop until they're back behind bars." Batman's stonic voice had softened a bit, after seeing Dick's shattered face. "We will get them."
"But what about Bruce! They'll go after him!"
"The Leauge has been notified and we have put up a protection detail."
"I'm going home." grim determination found its way to his face.
"No, you're staying there." the answer was instant, and backed with a bat-glare.
"Bats! Please. He's my dad." Dick pleaded, gently pulling away from Conner and going up to the screen. He needed to be with him.
"I know, Robin. I know. But this is for your own good. Until we know their plan, or where they are, you are staying there where it's safe. That is your team's mission. The Leauge will do the rest."
"No buts! This conversation is closed." the transmission was cut, leaving a blank screen and a shocked team.
Dick had allowed himself to be dragged from the room, feeling numb and not really sure what to think. He was set down on the couch and someone flipped the TV on. Warmth dropped onto his shoulders and he realizd dimly that someone had put a blanket on him. Music filled the air as a dark screen stared back at him.
He should have realizied that he hadn't won, that he only helped further Zucco's agenda. What's worse is the fact that Zucco had somehow managed to get word to Joker and Ivy. But, the thing that made this feel like a sucker punch to the gut, was that Zucco was, once again, after Richard Grayson. Zucco was after him. Just days after he felt freedom for the first time in nearly eight years, he was trapped in the cell, back in the darkness of his mind.
He had spent years there, thinking of every way possible to torture and kill the man who caused this agony. And he had let him go. Just like that.
What the hell had he been thinking? A man like that would never stop. He has no limits. He has drug money, drug runners, stolen goods, hired henchmen, thugs, guns, contacts and access. What had possesed him to think he, a kid, could stop a man like that? He is a kid and he now knew what was going through his mentor's head when they were trying to keep them in the corner. He sighed as his thoughts snapped back to the thoughts at hand.
Bruce. Batman. Whoever the hell he really was.
He always encouraged him, was always there. He always made him feel safe, ever since he fell into his lap. No pun intended. He had given him the gagets, the know how, the computers, the training-everything and then some. He gave him approval, something hard to earn from a man like that. And he thought he was good enough, just good enough. But, as it turns out, enough is never within reach.
He blinked when he realized that, if Zucco really had sicced Joker and Ivy in Dick Grayson, they could hurt Alfred-possibly kill him!-or find the Batcave. They'd tear the palce apart trying to find him, and unlucky lucky accidents happen all the time with criminals. What if they made the connection? They were not as easily swayed, as was his team, against the fact that Bruce wasn't Batman. They'd know Bruce is Batman and use that to their advantage. He sighed and slumped in his seat, his shoulder pulsing in slight pain.
It had almost been three weeks and it was mostly healed, thanks to alien medical attention and bed rest. He hadn't even realized that he was sitting next to Conner, as everyone else were whispering in the kitchen. He closed his eyes, holding back tears. What if Zucco took Bruce and Alfred away too? He wouldn't be able to handle it, hell he could barely handle the thought of losing them. He'd lose it.
"You okay?" whispered Conner gruffly, wanting to comfort his friend, but not sure how to.
"I...I'm okay." he lied, opening his eyes. His vision was slightly blurred by the tears he refused to let fall.
"Are you sure?" Conner's eyes lingered on his; he didn't look convinced.
"Okay, maybe i'm okay. But i'll be fine." he gave a smile that he knew was strained and broken.
"You don't have to shoulder it alone, Richard." Conner's arm wrapped around the small bird's shoulders, looking deep into his eyes. "I'm here. We're here. We'll get you through this in one, solid peice."
"Don't make a promise you can't keep, Conner." Dick sniffled, looking down. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
"But i will keep this one. I promise."
"Cross your heart?" he smiled, feeling a little bit better.
"And hope to die." Conner gave him a shake on the shoulder, pulling away from him.
Robin blinked up at the clone, who was flipping through the channels and not paying him any mind. He hadn't known that Conner knew the saying, and wondered where he heard it. Did...did that mean something more? Were they...on solid ground? Friends, no longer just team mates?
His thoughts were interupted by a yawn. It was then that he realized that it was nearly ten. He watched the show Conner had picked. It was a popular comedy show, he just couldn't think of the name. It showed this guy holding this puppet, it was a vantriliquist act, and was talking back and fourth between himself. He was aruging with it, and the puppet kept bringing something up about a blue preious. It was pretty funny. The guy had brown hair and looked oh so pissed whenever the puppet talked. Of course his lips weren't moving.
He hadn't even notice how sleep was slowly claiming him.
Conner looked down when he felt a light weight on his side. To his surprise, it was Robin. He was sleeping soundly, curled into his side, his fingers had caught the hem of his shirt. He eased away slightly, not sure what to do. His eyes flickered to the kichen, where the others were still planning and back at the sleeping form. He leaned in and carefully wrapped his arm around the bird, who, in turn, nessled closer.
He was shocked when he felt heat rush to his face and his heart seemed to beat faster. He swallowed thickly as he felt a smile form on his face. He tried to figth it off, but it refused to leave. He turned the TV down as he gently moved the young boy away from the edge of the sofa.
He thought back to what happened earlier, how he promised to keep Robin safe and sound.
"Cross you heart?"
"And hope tio die."
The only way he'd make absoultly sure is if he became his body gaurd, twenty four/ seven. He also wondered why he said it. He just knew he had to, and that it was right, that it was true. But why say it? And, since he did, would Robin-Dick-view hime any different? If so, would that be good? Bad? Why should he care if Dick's opinion of him changed for the worse? But, yet, the thought of Dick hating him just made him feel sick.
He decided not to dwell on it too much, because he was beyond tired. He fell alseep, holding Dick close, ignoring the conversation behind him.
"I think it'd be best for everyone to get some rest." Kaldur came around the couch, to shoo Dick and Conner off to bed like he had done with the others moments before. It was already reaching midnight. But, since he didn't recieve an answer, he rounded the side and peered down. To his astonishment, Conner was laying on the couch with Dick to his side. Dick was laying in between the couch cushions and Conner, his head on the clone's chest. Conner's arm was around Dick's waist.
Smiling softly, Kal garbbed some blankets from the hallway closet and draped them over the boys.
Thanks for all of your reviews! ! I'll try to keep this story going as well as it started out and ideas are always welcome!

A recall of food thought to contain StarLink genetically modified corn has widened to include 1.45 million pounds of baking ingredients made by ConAgra, the nation's second-largest food processor.
The Food and Drug Administration said last week that ConAgra had recalled 25-pound and 100-pound bags of corn flour, grits, polenta, cornmeal and binders used by restaurants and institutions.
ConAgra said it did not consider the action a recall because none of the institutional-size bags of flour had reached retail stores where consumers could buy them.
StarLink corn can now be used in animal feed but is not approved for human consumption. Some StarLink corn made its way into taco shells and other food in September, leading to a recall of chips, tostadas and other snacks.Continue reading the main story

Question about HP Color LaserJet 4550 Printer
My HP 4550 color laserjet will not print graphics, or anything else correctly. It will print a document from wordpad. If I make a drawing on paint it will print a black square over most of the page but you can see a bit of the drawing sticking out (in the correct color) It will not print a test page unless I use the control panel. All control panel pages print correctly. I had unhooked it and used an adapter to turn it into a USB printer so I could attach it to a new print server so I could print off of a VISTA computer. Didn't work. I bought a new printer and use that on the Vista computer, but now I cant get the old printer to work again. I have plugged it directly into the computer and it still will not print correctly.
Posted by bdehar on
The driver is HP Color Laserjet 4550 PCL
Sounds like the wrong driver is being used. In Control Panel, Printer, Properties, Advanced, what driver does it say that printer is using?
This printer will work with Vista. I use the driver that Vista provides with the standard HP internal network card and it works fine. Try putting your network card back in and undoing the USB adapter changes. Then just go in and add it back with the "Add Printer" wizard.
My compliments on the 4550, though. It's a great printer. A bit slow compared to what's out there new, but a workhorse that will last nearly forever.
