Twilight Relation: There are vampires in the other {Shadow} realm.
Once there was a world known to many; Its name was Earth. This world thrived and prospered, and many watched as it mantained life over the course of millions of years. The most sucessful species, humans, ruled the land with no fear. However, they forgot one thing.
They were not the only ones that existed in this universe.
There once was a small town huddled in a hillside in England. Not many people bothered with or knew about that town, but it was a nice and peaceful place to live at. There was green grass and meadows as far as the eye could see. There was also bright forests that lined the horizon, and a large hill where one could watch the sunset as the vibrant colors cascaded over the twilight sky. There was a creek that ran through the forest, and provided a source of water to the people in the town. The forest contained many twists and turns of old, worn out, and downtrodden paths. Old rusted train tracks cut through the forest, and an abandoned railroad station stood on the borderline of the forest.
14 year old, Chisa Inira, has always wanted to see a train pass through the old tracks, but her mother had to remind her that the last time a train passed through was over a century ago. One day, Chisa and a few of her friends decide to play down by the railroad tracks. They began to throw a ball back and forth, playing a game of catch. They squeal in laughter. Everything seems like a perfect evening, but it becomes a nightmare in a second. The breeze picks up and the trees start to sway. Chisa throws on her jacket and calls it quits, but a loud whistle screeched in the distance. "Run!" Chisa screamed, and her and her friends stumbled off the railroad. A shadowy train appeared, riding the tracks like a creature prowling in the darkness.
This train was like no else. The whistle sounded once more, and ghostly dark smoke blew from the pipe at the top.
It was indeed, a train made from darkness and shadows. A train that may change Chisa and her friends life forever.
"Ticket, Please."

*Current Characters*
Name: Chisa Inira
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Bio: As a young girl, Chisa had always been interested in the stars and the moon. She had always wondered if there was another place out there besides Earth. Her parents discouraged her interests and studies, but she persisted with them anyways. After moving to her current town, she had become more interested in the old train tracks, and had always longed for a train to pass through. Her parents still discouraged her, never the less, but the flames in her eyes were never distinguished.
Personality: She's very childish, despite her age. She always complains when things don't go her way, and she loves to be the boss of things. She can be very clumsy at times, and bad at decision making, but that doesn't mean she can't be loving and caring. She finds her friends precious, and would do anything to save or help them.

If shape-shifter, what does it shape-shift into?: Human;cat
Friend or foe of the humans?: Undecided
Backstory/History: Not much is remembered about his past, but he knows that he was killed by a train, when playing on the tracks. Some people think that he may be behind the shadow train, but know one really knows for sure. He has a strong love for cats, especially black ones. He is also very curious
What does it resemble?: Curiosity of a Cat

Name: Alec Morgen
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Bio: Growing up, Alec was always a trickster and was very rarely serious. He loved to read Sci Fi stories and comic books, constantly marveling and wishing that he could be in one of those stories, coming alive as one of the characters and living a seperate life in another world. His mother discouraged the idea of his fantasies, but his father always patted him on the back, urging him to keep dreaming. Because, as his father said, dreams have strange ways of coming alive. When he heard the story of the Shadow Train, he was instantly amused and tagged along with Chisa to go to the train tracks.
Personality: He laughs at a lot, makes inappropriate jokes everynow and then, and often smiles to the point where it's contagious. He wouldn't harm a fly, and often trusts others to easily. He's kind, sweet, although his manners could be better...

Alias: Gweneth
Shape-shifter or vampire?: Vampire
Friend or foe of the humans?: She tends to sway back and forth depending on whether or not she is thirsty.
Backstory/History: Gweneth, unfortunately, doesn't remember any of her past life. Occasionally, she'll see images of bits and pieces of her childhood, but not enough to piece together anything important. Though she tries not to think of her past of the way she died, it constantly weighs in the back of her mind, beckoning her to discover more about herself. Gweneth tends to have a rude nature, which most likely keys back to her past. Because of being a vampire, it's hard for her to stay near humans for a long time. She wants to, sure, but most of them decide to stay away because of her aggressive nature and thirst for blood.

Alias: Vincent Duccan
Shape-shifter or Vampire?: Shape-shifter
If shape-shifter, what does it shape-shift into?: Human and a python
Friend or foe to the humans: Foe.
Back story/History: Unlike most shadows, Vincent remembers most of his past. He knows he was human, and that he had a younger sister. While being human, he cared for his sister a lot and often became too overly protective over her. His mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis and unfortunately died when he was a mere nine and his sister only seven. After his mother's death, he became rude, sharp-tongued, and didn't care for his sister as much as he should have at the time. His father was at a loss of what to do about Vincent, as he was hanging out with the wrong people and being in the wrong places. His father would strictly tell him to not hang out with those people or to not talk back to him as Vincent did so often, but Vince refused and continued to be rude and argumentative. He took the train to the Shadow Realm one breezy night and hung out with the shadows for too long, thus turning into one himself. Now, with the influence of other shadows, he hates humans, regrets being human, and hates to be near them. He'd much rather do without them in the Shadow Realm.

Alias: Angelica Mercury
Shape-shifter or vampire?: Shape-shifter
If shape-shifter, what does it shape-shift into?: Human; Rabbit
Friend or foe of the humans?: Foe
Backstory/History: Remarkably, Angelica remembers how she died and what her life as a human was like, but she hates that life and wished it was never there. She recalled the many times she would be hurt in school from insults and terrible comments, and she recalled the time when she was so mad that she took her anger out on her pet rabbit by beating. She ended up killing the rabbit, and she never forgave herself. She remembered when her little brother would scream and cry at her for hurting the rabbit. One day, she went down to the lake, where she boarded the local train. Sadly, the train crashed, and the passengers were all dead, including Angelica. What she saw before she died – was a black rabbit.
She can be very energetic and hyper, and she loves to cause trouble and hurt others. She also whines a lot and asks questions frequently. She also has a hard time staying on task, and she rambles on most of the time. She also is very childish, and loves candy.

Friend or foe of the humans?: In-between.
Backstory/History: Amaya is Ichirou's older sister, but only by two years. By the time Ichirou turned five, Amaya had a strange, almost eerie, obsession with him. She would constantly have to be by his side, rarely letting him play with his friends. She wanted him to be hers, and only hers. She would do anything to have him, even if it involved killing someone. After Ichirou's death, Amaya couldn't take the world without him in her life, and so she committed suicide. She is now the conductor for the train, and still has an obsession with him. One thing that she wouldn't do, however, is tell Ichirou his past.

Alias: Atticus
Shape-shifter or vampire?: Vampire
Friend or foe of the humans?: Foe
Backstory/History: As a young child, Atticus was abandoned by his birth parents, and sent to an orphanage. This was mainly because his parents did not want him, not because of any disorders. He grew up there, but was always more violent than the other children. He made fun with dead animals that he found on the side of the street. He once brought a dead baby bird back to the orphanage to scare the other children. He was always described as morbid, downright insane, and sadistic. He was so mentally unstable that no one ever adopted him. At around age twelve, he began to go completely crazy. He was like this because he thought that no one would ever love him. At age sixteen, he committed suicide. Ever since then, he has lived in the shadow realm, and has been mentally corrupt, but manages to keep a low and steady profile there.

Angelica sat on the edge of the bench. She put her hand on her forehead, as if to see better. "Look!" she shouted, and pointed ahead. As if she were a little child, she jumped from the bench and bounced around. She pointed and sang. "The humans have come to their death, the humans have come to their death!" Angelica chanted it over and over, and grinned slightly. She called the others over. "Let's go see what their doing first! You know, it would be considered rude just to kill them at first sight." She gleefully bounced ahead, careful not to alarm their 'visitors'.
Suddenly, Ichirou stopped. "Alright, let's go on the rollercoaster first!" He grabbed Gweneth's arm, and began to drag her. He knew he would have to sooner or latter. Just as he was about to get in line with the others, he heard a familiar voice. The word 'death to the humans' rang in his ear, and he quickly yelled to the other. "RUN! Quickly, they mustn't catch you!" He shoved the humans from where they were standing, and whispered in a low voice to his shadow friends, "Its them. They want to kill the humans --- and us."
Chisa was about to enter the line after Ichirou, but she screamed when he quickly shoved her aside. What was going on? She quickly did as she was told and ran as fast as her feet could carry her. She didn't care about the scary shadows glancing at her, all she cared about right now was Ichirou's directions. She didn't even know what she was running from, but the tone in Ichirou's voice told her it was really important to leave as quickly as possible.
Alarmed at Angelica's shouting and pointing, Vincent barely had the time to remind her of how good their hearing was. He thought about sneering at her for being so careless and loud, but instead let a smirk creep on his face as he heard Ichirou command the humans to run. "Ah! Look at that, Angelica," he said, tsking her with a slight shake of his head. "You've made the feeder mice scared and sent them running. Hasn't your mother ever taught you to be polite? You can play with your food, but you shouldn't be so quick to have them run away." He stood from his spot on the bench and tapped his index finger on his chin with an amused look. "Well, we can't have them going far, now can we?" And with that, he ran towards the humans, easily slipping in front of them. "My, feeder mice certainly are slow," he mused, grinning a devilish grin that was sure to frighten the humans even more.
Gweneth's eyes widened slowly at the chanting she heard in the distance. She watched carefully as the humans began to run at Ichirou's command, and gave him a look, as if to say, "this is why we should never have come here." She couldn't have agreed with herself more. If they hadn't come here, none of this would have been happening. Angelica and the others wouldn't have found out about the humans' whereabouts, and she wouldn't have to shove someone's face into the pavement--which she was rather looking forward to. "Someone get close to the humans. If no one does, they won't survive with Snake Boy over there calling them feeder mice." She wasn't exactly sure that they have heard that part, but still, she pointed Vincent out in the crowd and made a face. "I'll get the annoying one," she said, referring to Angelica. Pretty angry at this point, she made her way towards Angelica, hands balled up into fists. "Pleasure seeing you again," she remarked, her voice edged with sarcasm.
Alec blinked at Ichirou's command, but ran anyway. Why risk the chance of not running, and then dying? This was supposed to be a fun-filled day at the amusement park. Not a let's-run-for-our-lives-and-try-not-to-be-murdered kind of day. He gently placed his hand on Chisa's back, urging her to run faster, and skidded to a halt as a voice called them feeder mice. Strange thing to call them. If it were Alec's choice on what they would be called, it would be Team Good. They would be called Team Bad. It all seemed to work out in his head, but he decided it best not to say it out loud. "Feeder mice?" he questioned, tilting his head to the side and standing up straight, trying his best to remain calm.
Axel was startled at Angelica's shouting. So much so that it took his a second to actually understand what she was saying. He turned to look at Ichirou, Gweneth, Destrain, and Mei. They were surrounded by... humans? That puzzled him a bit. When was the last time he saw a human around here? A century or so? He stood up from the bench that he was sitting on and made his way over to where Angelica was. "Hello." he said calmly with his usualy friendly smile. He glaced at Gweneth"It's so nice to see you as well, Gweneth." he said with an honest tone of voice. Axel knew that Gweneth wasn't directing it to him, but Angelica. He placed a hand on Angelica's shoulder "Angelica, don't be so loud next time, okay? My ears are ringing." he said with a soft chuckle. He dropped his hand from Angelica's shoulder and lokoed at Ichirou, Destrain, and Gweneth "So..." he began casually as he crossed his arms across his chest "You're the human's babysitters?" he asked "Or.. are you planning on killing them all by yourselfs?"
Kaito ran as soon as Ichirou told them to. He didn't have time to think about why, all he knew was that Ichirou's tone of voice meant that they needed to run as if their life depended on it. Kaito knew that their lives really did depend on it. He stopped so abruptly that he almost fell over. He looked up at the guy in front of them. That smile the guy gave him scared the crap out of him. Oh no... this guy is one of the people that the Ichirou, Desstrain, Gweneth, and Mei warned them about... The ones who want to kill humans. Feeder mice? What the hell does that mean? He wants to eat us? He thinks were mice?
Mei cussed quietly under her breathe- so quietly that she doubted that even her fellow shadows heared her. Why were they at an amusement park anyway? Shouldn't they be working on finding the key? Oh well.. No use complaining about it now. Her top priority right now was to make sure the humans were okay. She looked at the humans running. What good is that going to do? She arrived where the humans and Vincent were a second after he did and stood in between him and the humans. She stood up straight, her bright red eyes staring up into his dark--almost black ones in a cautious manner. "Vincent." she said with a serious look on her face. " I didn't know you liked amusement parks." she said sounding as if they were the best of friends, when in reality they hardly ever talked. Mei didn't want to start a fight, but if it has to come to that... Was she willing to kill a Shadow for the sake of these humans?
"So what. I don't give a damn whether they hear us or not, they're already scared to death. It will just make them more pleasant to kill." Angelica burst out in laughter, and advanced towards them. "Miss vampire is mine." She remarked, watching Gweneth with narrowed eyes. "This should be quite the simple task. All we need to do is take out the human's bodyguards first." With a morbid grin on her face, Angelica steeped towards Gweneth. She curled her fingers into a fist, and prepared to fight hand to hand combat. Maybe she would even make the little brat fight her from the tallest height of the rollercoaster.
"Angelica, Axel, Vincent, Vivian, its been a while, now hasn't it?" Ichirou said with a fake smile. He tried his best to keep calm, but he knew that the human's lives were in danger at the very moment now. He glanced to the humans, who were at a safe distance, watching behind the shadow's protection. Addressing Axel, Ichirou said, "Babysitters? Where nothing of that sort. We're just trying to keep them away from the nasty paws of you." His fist where together, ready to throw a punch at any second, although he's rather claws out this fox's fur, hair by hair. "We can play this game the hard way, or the easy way. Winner takes all, what's your choice?"
Chisa grabbed her knees and sat on the ground. She couldn't stand this state of not knowing who these people were. She obviously guessed they wanted to kill the humans and her, but why? Were all shadows this vicious? Did they all want to kill the humans that entered their world, or was it just these few. More or less, if all the shadows wanted to kill them, why were Ichirou, Destrian, Gweneth, and Mei already not doing so? She shook her head, and watched as they threw insults at each other, ready for a fight.
(Meo! You totally stole my idea about the rollercoaster! xD)
Gweneth stood straight and looked to Axel. "Use whatever is left of your brain, idiot," she snapped. "If we were planning on killing them, we most likely wouldn't be bringing them to the amusement park, nor trying to keep you away from them." She let out an amused laugh as Angelica curled her fingers into a fist, not the least bit frightened by the action. "Now, Angel--" a term Gweneth often liked to use to annoy the hell out of Angelica, "--do you really think you can beat me in hand to hand combat? I'm faster than you, as well as smarter and stronger. A rabbit can't beat a vampire, in case you wondering." She grinned and balled her hands up into fists, beckoning Angelica to make the first move.
Vincent frowned as Mei blocked his way to the humans. He let out a sigh and placed his fingers on his forehead in a dramatic manner, tsking quietly to himself. "Mei," he responded. "I didn't know you were so fond of humans," he said. "If I remember last time, you weren't so fond of the humans. What's so different about them this time? Is it the way they dress? Does their attire appeal to you or something?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow. "In all honesty, Mei, we both know that in this world those that protect never win, so step aside and you won't get hurt, okay?"
Alec watched as Mei stood in front of them, unsure of what to do. He honestly didn't want Mei to get involved in this, or Ichirou, Gweneth, and Destrian. He would rather them not get hurt in any way. But, they were protecting them, so he should at least appreciate that. He blinked and returned his attention to Chisa, who was know sitting on the ground, her arms wrapped around her knees. He bent down and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, allowing a small smile to slip onto his face. "It'll be alright, Chisa. There's nothing to worry about."
Axel chuckled at Gweneth's reply. "I think you're the one who needs to start using her brain. What, are vampires so dull they can't think rationally?" he asked. Then he looked at Ichirou sadly, as if he had really been hurt by what Ichirou said. "Our nasty paws?" he repeated. He shoot his head "Tsk, tsk." he said. "Surely, you dont think.." he began as his eyes changed and he gave Ichirou a twisted grin "..that you can defeat me." he said, his words harsh and bitter like venom. "Come on then, you stupid cat. I'll send you running with your tail between your legs. That is.. if you survive anyways." he said. "I wouldn't consider this a game. That would mean that you would and your little-" he looked at Gweneth, Destrain, then at Mei with a sly smile." friends have a chance of winning." He turned his attention back at Ichirou and slouched just the tinyest bit, ready to attack.
Mei looked at him with a bored look on her face, as if he was just a ball that she could easily kick out of her way, figuring that would upset him. Then she smiled at Vincent "That's sweet of you to care about my well-being but I think I'll take my chances. Besides, you should worry about yourself first. You know that a snake is nothing compared to a bird." She looked back at the humans and smiled reassuringly "Alec is right. Vincent is nothing to worry about." she turned back at Vincent. "I think you need to step aside. The humans are under our care." she took a inched a bit closer to him ''So. Back. Off." she said
Kaito gulped a bit. There was so much tension in the air. Much more than usual. Were they really going to fight? What would happen in the Ichirou, Gweneth, Destrain, and Mei lost? He wasn't ready to die. Not right now. Not when he had so much to live for. He shook out all negative thoughts from his head and just stood quietly, hoping for the best.
"I'll have you in shreds by the time I'm done with you." She muttered, and stepped foward, flexing her fists out into tight flat hands. She readied herself as if she was going to strike out at any moment. She knew somehow she must lure the vampire onto the rollercoaster, where she could properly fight and win, but how? She grinned and suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind. What if she made Gweneth chase her onto the rollercoaster? She snapped her fingers and applauded herself in her mind, and prepared herself to transform into a rabbit and hop away towards the rollercoaster, hoping Gweneth would forget where she was going and follow her due to the anger and urge to fight that was currently building up inside of her. This plan was clever, very clever indeed.
Ichirou threw his head back and let out a sadistic laugh. "Of course I can defeat you! You're just a hound. Why, humans shoot you for prizes back in their world." Beckoning Axel towards him, he said, "Come and make your first move, foxy," and laughed in mockery. This shouldn't be much of a feat, her decided, as he slightly advanced, fists ready to defend, for he was letting Axel take the first move. He grinned ever so slightly, and planned out a battle plan in his head, while he watched Axel hesitate.
Chisa looked up to see a comforting hand on her. "Thanks Alec. But I'm not really that scared at the moment, just a bit bewildered, that's all. It makes no sense, actually. Do you perhaps know who and why those people here?" She asked, doubting he would know the answer. She paused and shook her head. "Its a stupid question, you wouldn't know why any more then me." She sighed, and watched them. She hoped for the best, that the shadows that protected her so dearly were going to come out as the victors, and hopefully not in pieces.
Gweneth stared for but a moment as Angelica began to run away. She shook her head and rolled her eyes, before following quickly behind. She could be faster if she wanted to, but why waste the energy so early in the fight? She looked ahead of her and her eyes landed on the rollercoaster that Angelica was running towards. Was that her plan? Get Gweneth on the rollercoaster and then what? Throw her off? That didn't sound very pleasant to Gweneth. It was alright, though. She will just stop right before the rollercoaster cart, and impatiently wait for Angelica to get off. By then Rabbit Girl should be at least a little bit dizzy. She quickened her pace and skidded to a halt at the gates of the rollercoaster. "Do you honestly think that I'm going to get on that just to fight you?" she questioned.
Vincent tilted his head with a smirk on his face. "Haven't you ever watched Animal Planet?" he questioned, then shook his head. "You probably haven't, nor would you remember it. Well, let me tell you something. Pythons always snapped a bird's neck and had them for lunch," he hissed and glanced at the humans, then back to Mei. He was going to have plenty of fun with this. He leaned forward to be eye level with her, just inches from her face. "Well, what if their little protectors aren't around to care for them?" he whispered, his voice threatening and low.
Alec looked down at Chisa and offered a hand to help her up. "You should stand," he said, then added quickly, "Just in case something goes wrong." He shrugged his shoulders in response to her question. "I assume they don't like us," he responded. That seemed like the only reasonable answer. Why else would they be picking a fight with Ichirou, Destrian, Mei, and Gweneth. It didn't seem like a high chance that this entire thing is an act of friendship, like when Alec and his friends would wrestle in the yard. This was full of hatred and anger.
Angelica rolled her eyes dully. Gweneth was being smart about this. Instead, she bounded towards Gweneth, and whispered in her ear, "How are you and Ichirou been getting along? Has the vampire come to like the kitty? How romantic!" Angelica, who was now in her rabbit form, hopped up and stood on her hind legs, waiting for Gweneth. She hoped that the fake mockery would be enough to get her angry, and trail after her -- if that didn't work, she'd simply have to force her on. She sighed and twitched her whisker's waiting as if she had all the time in world to start this fight.
Remarkable, Ichirou was able to control the urge to make the first move. He stood patiently in a defensive stance, waiting for Axel to throw the first blow. He wondered what the humans must be thinking. He grinned to himself. Ha! They must be scared to death. He thought of them a bit more, and chuckled. Even if they were friends to him, he felt the need to laugh at their foolishness sometimes. They could be stupid sometimes, he thought.
Chisa nodded and grabbed Alec's hand, standing up. She smiled and let out a simple, "Thank you." She remained quiet, leaning against a lamp post with her arms crossed, and her eyes slightly closed. She did not wish to watch this dreaded fight. Instead, she tried to fill her head with happy thoughts, but none seemed to come to her. Did this world block out anything happy? She asked herself in her head, with a slight giggle.
"Foxes are hunted down, because we cannot be tamed. Cat's on the other hand, are mere house pets for humans. Not even a human would bother to kill a cat. Even they need more of a challenge than that." Axel said as he looked at Ichirou, with a look of pity. "Maybe that's why you help these humans? You're weak, your friends are weak, and the humans are weak. As they say, birds of a feather flick together!" he said the last part with a laugh. "Well, I find that to be completely and utterly... disgusting." Axel said, running a hand through his white hair. He looked at Ichirou's fists. "Well then.." he said clearly amused as he shoved his hands in his pockets. "How about this? If you get me to use one hand, I'll give up hunting the humans.. for now." he said, ready to make the first move but he just wanted to heard Ichirou's reaction before he began. Axel always stuck to his word, but that didn't mean that he would give up hunting humans all togethers. Besides, even if by some miracle, Ichirou beat him, Angelica and Vincent weren't going to stop going after the humans just because Axel did. In fact, Axel has already calculated that the chances of the humans coming out of this amusement park alive were about 33.12%. How did he come down to those facts? Well, he knew that Gweneth was a good fighter but, he also knew that she was hot-headed. If Angelica pushed her far enough then Gweneth would be shrouded by rage, and that could be her downfall. As for Mei, Axel knew that she wasn't the strongest fighter. Vincent would have no trouble getting to her. Now Ichirou, he didn't know much about Ichirou except for the fact thathe is a curious fellow. Of crouse, that wont help Axel beat him at all. However, Axel was a dreadfully good fighter. He used a lot of martial arts while he fought (something he learned and used back as a human).
Mei tilted her head to the side, because she didn't really know what Animal Planet was. Was is a whole other universe just full of animals? laughed at his remark "Well sure, a python might stand a chance, but you? You're just a worm." she said in a cold tone. She didn't cringe back when he leaned down to her. She was anylizing how to go on about this. It has been a long while since she has fought for anything. "Didn't I say that you would be on your own if something like this would happen?" she asked the humans, but mostly herself. Mei has never been the best fighter around and she has never been Vincent fight. Sure, the way she spoke right now was confident, but could she back it up? Why would she bother to help out humans anyways? What were they to her? She closed her eyes for a split second and took a deep breathe, then let out, to relax herself. Whatever. She was now itching for a fight. She opened her eyes and glared at Vincent, her red eyes burning for a chance to rip his throat out. Her lips slowly formed into a smirk as she spoke "Surely you're not planning to fight me? Oh Vincent, I thought you were smarter than that!" she said sounding genuinely dissapointed.
Kaito looked at Chisa, suprised to hear her giggle in a situation like this. So far there hasn't been any brutal fighting going on but he knew it was about to come. Maybe they should use that time to run away? But what if they get attacked by another pair of demons on the way back to Ichirou's place? He wished he was home right now. More than he has ever felt since coming here. He didn't want any of the people he met here to get hurt because of them. Seeing them now, it almost made him feel bad about not really trusting them from the very begginning.
Gtg. Goodnight!
Aww, okay, I have to go anyways too, sorry. Goodnight guys! <3

Lonely Planet ranks Sri Lanka as #1 country to visit in 2013 |
Tuesday, 23 October 2012 | |
Having gained the reputation of a hot-spot holiday destination, Sri Lanka has had the honour of now being ranked as the number one country to visit in 2013 by Lonely Planet. With the island returning to normalcy, after the end of its three decade conflict, it seems fitting that Lonely Planet should title the piece on Sri Lanka as 'Serenity returns to Serendib'. With social and infrastructure development projects sweeping across the island, the country has also begun a more intensified effort toward beautification and environmental conservation ventures. The island has become a haven for water sports enthusiasts and professional surfers, paying homage to Sri Lanka's East, North and South coasts. The country has also become synonymous with the traditional-indigenous form of medicine known as Ayurveda, with hundreds of travellers taking time off to enjoy one of the many Ayurveda spas and getaways on the island. The upcoming United Nations Women's Guild Bazaar to be held at the UN headquarters in Geneva, has recently announced that the 2nd prize of its raffle draw would include return air tickets to Sri Lanka with 6 days of Ayurveda therapy at the prestigious Siddhalepa health resort.

Green for the 21st Century in Seattle
Innovations in curriculum and operations have earned the 2009 Green Washington Award for the Seattle Community Colleges – Central, North and South. All three colleges are active members of the Seattle Climate Partnership and North was an early signer of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. A district-wide Chancellor's Sustainability Initiative provides energy, focus and a forum for emerging training and initiatives.
Sustainability is infused into programs ranging from urban agriculture at Central to environmental science, real estate and building management across the district. Students have funded a sustainability coordinator. Campus activities include reducing the carbon footprint and promoting recycling and energy conservation, which earned a "Recycler of the Year" award for South. Last year, the college culinary operations diverted 31 tons of materials to a regional composting facility – which returned the compost to "green" the college landscape.

Helping displaced workers to 'Start Next Quarter'
During the economic downturn, thousands of displaced workers turned to the Seattle Community Colleges at the same time regional employers reported a need for skilled workers to fill jobs in the new economy. To help both potential workers and employers, the Seattle Community Colleges developed Start Next Quarter (SNQ), a two-part initiative designed to improve the success of dislocated workers who enroll in technical education programs. SNQ invites prospective students to assess their eligibility for workforce funding online and connects them to a comprehensive two-day college success workshop held at each campus. The workshops are based on a model developed at one of the district campuses. Students who complete the workshop are more likely to complete their training programs and to obtain jobs using their new skills. The project was developed in part through a grant from the League for Innovation, funded by the Walmart Foundation Bright Futures project to serve displaced workers.

A Model for the Region
The Opportunity Center for Employment and Education at North Seattle Community College is a regional resource and the first integrated service center of its kind in Washington state. Since the OCE&E opened its doors in spring 2011, more than 40,000 people have come for one-stop help in finding a new job, career retraining or to sign up for public assistance benefits. Founding partners were the state Departments of Social and Health Services and Employment Security, the college, and the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County. The campus and the new LEED Gold Certified 45,000-square foot facility are in the heart of Seattle's north end and close to a major transit hub. House Speaker Frank Chopp and Rep. Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney (sponsor of the legislation and a former Seattle District trustee) championed the OCE&E in the state legislature. The center aims to provide streamlined services in a positive environment, helping clients succeed in the next stage of their lives.

2012 GRÜNER by Etz Grüner Veltliner Kamptal (1L)
Review Date: 12-11-2013
Great aromatics on this rich, yet dry and quaffable wine. Perfect for vegetable dishes, lighter fish dishes, or spicy asian cuisine.
Price: $13.99
2005 Montechiara Sagrantino di Montefalco
Review Date: 11-14-2013
This intense and spicy red offers notes of prune, berries and forest floor on the nose, with a tannic palate impression that offers dried prunes, figs and blackberries on this medium-bodied wine. This is a perfect accompaniment for savory and gamy meat dishes.
Price: $9.99
2009 Damilano "Lecinquevigne" Barolo
Review Date: 11-7-2013
Deep red with ruby tones. Aromas of marzipan, brown spices, dried rose and truffle. Suave and sweet, with a liqueur-like ripeness to the flavors of red fruits, marzipan, brown spices, menthol and leather. Nicely integrated acidity accentuates the wine's inner-mouth perfume and contributes to an impression of firm structure. Love this Barolo, drink now and over the next few years.
Price: $25.99
2011 Baricci Rosso di Montalcino
Review Date: 11-1-2013
Woo-hoo! Bariccis is back in town! Ever time I raise a glass of this wine to my lips; it brings me back to Montaclino. Why? because there is so much Montaclino in the glass. This Rosso reveals perfumed ripe fruit of plum, cassis and kirsch, some leather and cassis, mid- pallet and earthiness that meld into ripe strawberries, spices and minerals on the long finish.
Price: $19.99
2011 Cantina Terlan "Vorberg" Pinot Bianco Riserva
Review Date: 10-25-2013
This is from a hillside in the town of Terlano in the Alto Adige where the soil is sandy, gravely and calcareous. A great place to plant grapes? This is what makes this so unique and the wines of this region unique as well. This Pinot Bianco is full-bodied, delicately fragrant and mildly floral, ripe honeydew melon and bartlett pear and lots of minerality balanced with acidity this can keep very easily over the next 5 years. A Great wine to serve for the winter holidays
Price: $24.99
2008 Baricci Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 10-25-2013
This wine is from this extraordinary portion of Montalcino's most famous single vineyard "Montosoli" and is full of black cherry, cinnamon, anise cardamom, and leather, spicy, gamey, full of what I call sweet earth, (that Montalcino, dusty mineality) a more rustic wine than the one above. I would give this at least three to four hours of breathing time and could possible see its tenth birthday, but only if you can keep your hands off that long.
Price: $39.99
2012 I Stefanini "Selese" Soave
Review Date: 8-23-2013
Wow! That's what several of us were saying at a staff tasting where this Soave was the first wine we tasted. Pure and fresh, this is a delicious dry white wine. Soave is one of Italy's most popular white wines, probably because the good ones like this are so smooth, light, and easy to drink. This wine comes from an area just east of Valpolicella and the grape is garganega.
Price: $10.99
2011 Castello di Verduno Nebbiolo Langhe
Review Date: 8-9-2013
Love the 2011 vintage of this wine. The nose brings aromas of dried cherry and roses, and on the palate you will find raspberries, tar, tobacco, truffle, and a little Langhe dust with a good tannin structure. I love the elegance to this wine, and with all of its varietal purity here (I would call this baby- Barbaresco), I recommend decanting for a couple hours...or even aging a couple of years (up to five or six years if you are that patient). This would show extremely well with a wild mushroom risotto or a barbecue Tri-tip.
Price: $29.99
2011 Domaine Sylvain Langoureau St-Aubin 1er Cru "Bas de Vermarain à l'Est"
Review Date: 8-6-2013
Crisp and stylish. Lovely flowery fruit. Plenty of depth, energy and concentration underneath and a very long finish. Love St-Aubin, white Burgundies at affordable prices!
Price: $36.99
2010 Château de Montfaucon "Baron Louis" Lirac
Review Date: 8-6-2013
This is baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape, love 2010 for Cote du Rhone and LOVE Montflaucon! A great full body red with lots of layers & balance. TWO Thumbs up !
Price: $18.99
2011 Brooks Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 8-6-2013
This Sonoma Pinot Noir shows spicy, velvety fruit upfront which is followed by a long, smooth finish. The wine is fresh and lively. A perfect red for a chilly day!
Price: $21.99
2012 Blason Pinot Grigio Isonzo (1L)
Review Date: 8-6-2013
This is a mouthful of Pinot Grigio and a wine that has body and is perfectly balanced with zippy acidity and very aromatic, good complexity, length and that subtle elegance that shows muscle and long and flowing finish. It is a little spicy with red apple and melon, and LOTS of minerals on the aftertaste. The Best P/G they made ( so far) and a liter bottle ( Woohoo ) made for two!
Price: $11.99
2012 Vallevò Trebbiano d'Abruzzo
Review Date: 8-6-2013
the Trebbiano family account for around a third of all white wine in Italy. It is mentioned in over 80 of Italy's DOCS, although it has just six of its own, (Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano di Aprilia, Trebbiano di Arborea, Trebbiano di Capriano del Colle, Trebbiano di Romagna and Trebbiano Val Trebbia dei Colli Piacentini). This wine has honey and floral aromas, and a little bit of stone fruit on the nose. Crisp, with soft fruit (white peaches) and has incredible length with zippy acidity. All that for under Nine bucks! Serve it with fish, cheeses or pasta in cream sauce or just by itself!
Price: $8.99
Rotari Rosé Brut Talento Trento
Review Date: 8-6-2013
The Rotari Rosé is a combination of 10% chardonnay and 90% pinot nero. All grapes are grown in the Adige Valley north of Trento, located in the heart of the Dolomites. It is produced in the metodo classico and adheres to the strict standards of quality mandated by the Trento DOC . It has a delicate salmon-pink color and is aged on its lees for 24 months, which gives it a richness that hints of yeastiness. The first thing that hits your tongue is a hint of strawberry followed by pomegranate flavors, a fine mousse and very dry finish. I love these bubbles and the price, so grab a few bottles for a great way to start your summer evenings.
Price: $9.99
2009 Macalan, Bordeaux
Review Date: 7-12-2013
Don't let the low price scare you away. This reminds me of the 1997 Cantemerle: it drank well young, but has aged very well. The palate shows, wild spicy berry and floral characters, med-bodied, with soft tannins with nice length on the finish.
Price: $12.99

Normally people don't refer to frogs as 'cute', but there's something about this little guy which is quite endearing. This video, taken in 2011 but only just beginning to trend now, shows a frog called Budgett who gets frightened by a toy tortoise and is so scared he not only starts to scream, he runs away instead of hopping.

Violence continues in Syria despite ceasefire deadline as regime troops begin to pull out [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Female #1
The UN deadline for a ceasefire in Syria expired at midnight Syrian time. However, April 10 dawned on Syrians without bringing the anticipated calm. The Syrian army's military vehicles are still deployed in the heart of many cities, violating the most important provisions of the UN Special Envoy Kofi Annan's plan. The Annan plan requires halting all forms of violence starting today so that confrontations can end within the next 48 hours. Until another sign of change appears on the ground, images of shelling and confrontations continue to dominate the general scene in Syria. Yuay Ghabra has the details.
Reporter, Male #1
The Annan initiative does not include a military directive. Responding to gunfire will be with a rocket that could fall on a house and its occupants. These words can easily be transformed into actions. The proof can be seen in the pictures of dozens of victims who were killed recently. Syria's commitment to the UN envoy's plan remains theoretical. And even though the deadline expired, the violence has not stopped, and its consequences are real. In the northern town of Maree and village of Hawr al-Nahr in the countryside of Aleppo, columns of smoke reveal the effects of the shelling by the army and the air force as they pursue defectors. In the east, between the village of Mas'ada and the town of Marqada in Hasaka province, six members of the regime's forces were killed in an attack launched by armed men, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. From their sites near Homs, Syrian forces renewed their shelling of the city's neighborhoods, especially al-Khalidiya, Bab Dreib, Safsafa and Deir Ba'alba, causing an undetermined number of injured people to appeal for help.
Reporter, Male #1
In Hama, the scene was similar. Security forces stormed the town of Kfar Zeta and carried out a campaign of arbitrary arrests. As for Idlib, its situation was different. There, activists spoke of warplanes hovering over the city, accompanied by gunfire with heavy weaponry and a campaign of raids and arrests. In the south, violent clashes broke out between Syrian regime forces and defectors in al-Mizerib and Tafas areas of Dara'a province. As for Duma in the countryside of Damascus, activists uploaded images online showing the deployment of army tanks. In the heart of the capital Damascus and in front of the parliament building, a young woman held a banner reading, "End the killing" as passersby applauded. All of them were arrested.
Presenter, Female #1
In parallel to military actions is Syria's diplomatic move titled "Moscow". There, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem met and conferred with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. After the meeting, Muallem said the tanks have started to withdraw from the cities. Lavrov called on Muallem to accelerate the implementation of the Annan plan, with the latter saying a sustainable ceasefire should coincide with the arrival of the international observers' delegation. Al-Muallem accused Turkey of harboring armed groups and allowing them to breach the border.
Guest, Male #2 (Walid al-Muallem, Syrian Foreign Minister)
I have explained to Minister Lavrov the measures the Syrian government has taken to show its goodwill toward the six-point Annan plan. We have already withdrawn some military units from some provinces, in accordance with Provision C of the Annan plan.
Bahraini forces attack supporters of dying hunger striker [Press TV, Iran]
Bahraini regime forces have attacked protestors demanding the release of prominent human rights activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja. Security forces backed by troops from Saudi Arabia fired tear gas and sound grenades at crowds gathering in several towns and villages around the capital Manama. Al-Khawaja has been on hunger strike in prison for over two months.
Bahraini authorities say they have arrested four people in connection with an explosion in the village of Eker, south of the capital Manama. The main opposition bloc Al-Wefaq says regime forces arrested the wanted parties and brutally beat their relatives. The explosion occurred near a police checkpoint and wounded seven officers, three of them critically.
Jailed Saudi activist Mohammad al-Bajadi continues hunger strike [Press TV, Iran]
In Saudi Arabia, the health of a detained activist has deteriorated. Mohammad al-Bajadi has been on hunger strike in jail for almost a month. The Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association says since Saturday, al-Bajadi stopped drinking water. Activists are calling for his immediate release. He has been charged for inciting people to protest and damaging the reputation of the state.
Iran busts Israeli terrorist group [Press TV, Iran]

Iran halts Greece oil exports before last-ditch talks [IBA, Israel]
Saying that his country doesn't need to export crude oil to survive, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced a halt in sales to Greece, which is now the third country after France and the UK to be cut off in retaliation against the upcoming European Union embargo set to go into effect in July. This comes days before what many are calling "last-ditch talks" over Iran's disputed nuclear program.

Middle East Peace Quartet to meet in Washington [IBA, Israel]

The announcement comes just one day after the accusation from Palestinian Authority that Israel is systematically destroying prospects for a two-state solution with its continuing campaign of settlement building.
Pro-Palestinian activists, Israeli security forces prepare for 'flytilla' [IBA, Israel]
Final preparations by security officials are underway to prevent possible disturbances that may be sparked by the launching of another so-called "flytilla." Organizers claim that hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists, primarily from European nations, are planning to fly to Ben Gurion Airport next Sunday with the goal of reaching the West Bank in their third campaign in three years to draw attention to the alleged Israeli violation of Palestinian human rights.
Deadly blast rocks former al-Shabab stronghold in Somalia [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Female #1
Eleven people were killed by a bombing in a crowded market in the city of Baidoa, west of the Somali capital Mogadishu. It is considered the worst attack of its kind since Somali forces backed by Ethiopia took control of the city two months ago.
Reporter, Male #1
One crisis after the next, the Somali people's suffering continues in the midst of an array of armed factions, as more than 10 people were killed after a bomb was detonated in a bustling market in the city of Baidoa. The bombing, considered the worst of its kind among a series of previous blasts, was carried out in a vegetable market in the heart of Baidoa. The city is now controlled by government forces, with the support of the Ethiopian army, after fighters of the Islamist al-Shabab movement were expelled from the city two months ago.
Reporter, Male #1
Eyewitnesses confirmed the bomb exploded after soldiers from the Somali government forces entered the market. However, most of those killed are women and children. Baidoa is located 250 kilometers northwest of the capital Mogadishu. The city used to host the headquarters of the Somali transitional parliament until the al-Shabab movement took control of it over three years ago. Last week, African Union forces were deployed to Baidoa in their first operation outside the capital Mogadishu since the 10,000-strong forces were formed five years ago. The African Union's delegation in Somalia sent 100 soldiers from Burundi and Uganda to support the Ethiopian and Somali forces in the city. 2,500 additional troops will be later sent to Somalia in various phases.
Israel backs Suleiman as Egypt court annuls constitutional panel [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Male #1
The Egyptian judiciary decided to halt the parliamentary decision to form a constitutional committee to draft the first post-revolution constitution. The court announced its decision to stop the formation of the committee, accepting the appeal submitted by movements, liberal parties, and public figures who opposed the committee. The appeal considered the parliament's decision to have members of the People's Assembly and the Shura Council to account for half of the committee members to be a wrong administrative decision, and an abuse of power. The formation of the committee caused a political crisis after the Freedom and Justice Party and al-Nour Party dominated the committee. Political parties and public figures withdrew from the committee, saying it does not represent all components of the Egyptian people.
Presenter, Male #1
And while the wave of reactions continues, condemning and rejecting the candidacy of the ousted Egyptian president's vice president and former head of intelligence, Omar Suleiman, for the presidential elections, scheduled for late next month, the Israeli entity welcomed his candidacy. It considered Suleiman to be the best man to preserve Israeli interests.
Reporter, Female #1
Since the ousted Egyptian president's vice president and former intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman, officially announced his candidacy for the first presidential elections since the downfall of Hosni Mubarak, the reactions on the Egyptian street continue. Egyptians are condemning and rejecting his candidacy that some see as a reproduction of the former regime, a counterrevolution, and a manipulation of the Egyptian people. They also see him as an integral part of a system the people revolted against, and rejected its figureheads. These harsh criticisms were met with an Israeli welcoming of Suleiman's candidacy. Labor party member and the occupation's former defense minister, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, viewed Suleiman as good for Israel, adding that Tel Aviv prefers Suleiman because he believes the Egyptian relationship with Israel is strategic. The occupation army's radio indicated that Tel Aviv views Suleiman's candidacy as a positive step towards preserving its interests. In addition, a member of the ruling Likud Party viewed Suleiman's candidacy as a positive change, considering him a man who can keep a balanced relationship with Israel; a relationship in which Suleiman can guarantee Israel's interests the way ousted President Hosni Mubarak did.
Reporter, Female #1
The Israeli occupation army's leading committees and intelligence agencies stressed the importance of exerting all efforts to maintain Suleiman in the spotlight, seeing he is the most important figure that Israel could rely on. They stressed that through their experience with Suleiman, he demonstrated unrivaled care for Israeli security interests in a manner that even exceeds Israeli ambitions. And seeing he was Mubarak's right hand man, and the most loyal person to him, as reported by the Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Suleiman will be more attentive than others in looking after Israel's interests and maintaining the security of its settlers, as much as Mubarak did. In addition, Eitan Haber, a leading figure on the Israeli political scene, wrote that Mubarak deserves to be thanked and gratitude be expressed to him, because he prevented the death of thousands of Israelis by putting weapons aside and choosing the peaceful path.
Reporter, Female #1
Meanwhile, the office of the head of the occupation's government, Benjamin Netanyahu, made intensive phone calls with US Congress members and Jewish organizations to pressure the Obama administration to restore Suleiman to the forefront of current events. Suleiman, who is referred to as the second Mubarak in American newspapers, worked as the head of Egyptian intelligence for 18 years. Throughout that time, torture and human rights violations increased for regime dissenters. And according to Western journalist Stephen Grey, Suleiman is viewed as an intelligence director who turned his country into a backyard for the American intelligence agency. Suleiman received suspects the CIA had failed to extract confessions from, and he would personally oversee their violent extraction.
Tunisian centrist parties merge for more political clout [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Male #1
In Tunisia, opposition lawmakers of the Founding Assembly organized a march on Habib Bourguiba Avenue in protest to the Interior Ministry's ban on holding demonstrations on the street. The protestors also condemned what they described as an "excessive use of force" against a similar protest held yesterday, which resulted in a number of casualties among demonstrators and members of the security forces. Our Al Jazeera correspondent said that security forces did not confront the Founding Assembly-led march. After the march, the legislators are expected to meet with Tunisian Interior Minister Ali al-Arid. Meanwhile, the Progressive Democratic Party, the PDP, Afek Tounes, the Republican Party, as well as several independent groups and other parties have merged as one new party, called "the Republican Party." Founders of the new party said the objective is to create change in the political scene in Tunisia.

It's a new phase in the life of Tunisian parties, including some with a rich history of struggle such as the PDP, and others with less political experience, such as Afek Tounes. These parties, along with several independent groups, decided to join ranks under the same umbrella in a bid to achieve what they failed to accomplish separately in the recent elections. They named their new party "the Republican Party," and said it has clear objectives.
Guest, Male #3 (Yasin Ibrahim, Republican Party Executive Secretary)
Our objective is to form a political force with enough momentum to form future alliances with other political blocs that share similar views. And with this party, we will be able to take over the executive authority, and offer Tunisian voters more choices.
Reporter, Male #2
Balancing the political scene requires moderation in every aspect of life, as confirmed by the new party and its officials.
Guest, Female #1 (Maya al-Jarbibi, Republican Party Secretary-General)
What distinguishes this party is that Tunisians can relate to it, especially when it comes to the concepts of centrism and moderation, which are Tunisian traits. The party will use moderation in all of its dealings, including at the social level, such as balancing between the role of the state and the private sector.
Reporter, Male #2
The attempt to form an effective political force, launched by the PDP and its allies, was crowned in the birth of this new party. However, this birth wasn't without any complications. The birth of the new party provoked the rage of several members of the PDP, who walked out of the conference in protest to the merger. Among them were members of the Founding Assembly.
Guest, Male #4 (Ahmed Abu Izzi, Member of Executive Committee of Former PDP)
Unfortunately, a number of undemocratic practices took place in the PDP. Several members, known for their struggle, honesty, and courageous positions, especially with regard to their stance on the identity issues, have been expelled.
Reporter, Male #2
Abu Izzi's words were repeated by supporters of the party, who believe the party made wrong decisions, which may have helped distort the party's image and its history of struggle. And this is why the party achieved disappointing results in the elections, which may have led to its disappearance today.
Palestinians mark 64th anniversary of Deir Yassin Massacre [Palestine TV, Ramallah]
Presenter, Male #1
April 9th marked the 64th anniversary of the Deir Yassin Massacre committed by Zionist gangs in 1948. Two hundred fifty citizens, most of them women and children, were the victims of the massacre.
Reporter, Male #2
It is April 9, 1948; we are in the village of Deir Yassin near occupied Jerusalem. It was the moment of pain and bloodshed that marked the beginning of a death implanted by the occupation. Those sleeping safely in this humble village were awoken by the Irgun and Stern gangs, who showered them with gunfire, killing their souls and ravaging the land. In a terrifying scene, around 300 people, most of them women and children, were martyred in Deir Yassin by the hateful gangs. Here, Deir Yassin stands strong, rebelling against oblivion. It is immersed in our memory, a memory that cannot be erased by the darkness of the night or the passage of time; a time during which the Palestinian people live with the relentless massacres against them by the grandchildren of those who committed the Deir Yassin Massacre.
Reporter, Male #2
Scenes of pain tell the story of this site and the land is a witness to the chapters of aggression. How similar is today to yesterday, when Palestinian land cries in pain at the weight of the boots of the occupation. There's a story of a massacre and a tale of combat in every corner of this land. Through these aggressions, the occupation aims to displace our people from our beloved land and from our Qiblah, or direction to Mecca, that no other place in the universe can replace, since it is rooted in our hearts.
Exiled prisoner Hana al-Shalabi: 'We defeated the occupation with our will' [Palestine TV, Ramallah]
Presenter, Male #1
Prisoner Hana al-Shalabi, who was exiled to Gaza, thanked Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for his interest, follow up, and care for her case, and for exposing the occupation's practices. She also thanked the organizations that work for prisoners, specifically the Ministry of Prisoners' Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society, and local organizations, which supported her cause and exerted effort to report all the details of her case, and exposed the occupation.
Guest, Male #3 (Nafidh Azzam, Leader of Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine)
Our prisoners, despite the prison cells they're in, despite the difficult conditions they're living under, they are the ones in charge now! They control what is happening, and they impose their will on Israel's positions and policies. This is, without a doubt, a significant change in the equation of the conflict.
Guest, Female #1 (Hana al-Shalabi, Exiled Prisoner)
I am proud today as I stand in front of you, after God blessed me with freedom from the chains of prison and its tortures. Today, I am standing in front of you, and express my pride in you, and my support for your just battle against administrative detention, with which the occupation attempts to break our will and place us behind bars to remove from the battlefields that allow us to defend ourselves and our land. The occupation wanted to conquer us with administrative detention, but we defeated it with our will and resistance. We are determined to confront it and turn the table on its face. We still stand by the side of our people in every corner of our homeland.

It's not a memoir or a movie about a woman who indulges and explores to find herself. Instead, Eat, Shop, Love for Moms is meant to help support new moms who may be housebound, anxious and depressed, in time for Mother's Day.
From 5 to 9 p.m., May 10, shops and restaurants on Kitsilano's West Fourth Avenue between Fir and Balsam streets will host Eat, Shop, Love for Moms to raise money and awareness for postpartum depression and anxiety support. Restaurants and retailers will donate a percentage of their sales to the Pacific Post Partum Support Society, a non-profit charitable organization that serves thousands of women each year in Vancouver, Metro Vancouver and beyond.
Donna Hohl, owner of Coco's Closet on West Fourth Avenue near Yew, hadn't heard of the society before she decided to donate 10 per cent of her sales to the initiative, which was co-organized by the Kitsilano 4th Avenue Business Improvement Association. But she knows new moms need support. "I have 15 nieces and nephews," Hohl said. "I've certainly seen my sister, sister-in-laws, it's definitely tough. Especially today, when there's so much pressure on women to be super women. We work, we're career-minded and you have the home. There's a lot of pressure, more so now than 25, 30 years ago."
Hohl said Hell's Kitchen will donate 50 per cent of its food sales.
Sheila Duffy, program manager of the postpartum society, says an estimated one in six women struggle with postpartum depression. Birth and adoptive mothers in Vancouver often struggle with feelings of exhaustion and isolation while they contend with profound life changes. Many lack family supports nearby.
"With adoptive moms, this is probably something that you've wanted, you've probably gone through lots and lots of things in order to make it happen in your life, so they can feel even more guilty or confused by the feelings they're having, or ashamed of them," Duffy said.
The Pacific Post Partum Support Society offers workshops, telephone support and seven support groups in the Lower Mainland, three of them in Vancouver. It helps mothers until their children are three years old. The society serves spouses and partners through telephone support and partner/couple information sessions.
Those suffering with postpartum depression may want to read "A Journey Through Postpartum Depression" on the society's website, postpartum.org. Telephone support is available at 604-255-7999 or toll-free at 855-255-7999.

while we waited for the event to arrive, we went around grabbing dead drops from the "little golden dogs in the park" and various other places...the dead drops were messages from jack giving us hints on how to proceed during the day: to sum up--Sac Longchamp we were supposed to steal copies of the contract, find songbird and give it to him after a marco polo password exchange.

If they have insurance he can bill, he will, and if not, that is ok. He will take insurance only for all services if it is applicable. If he needs to make orthotics he will only charge his cost and bill insurance if applicable.

is there an inside whith you and sp?
is there an inside whith you and sp?Started by(18 Nov '11)
i just wanna know if you have some inside or memories about simple plan that you want to share wih me... it could be anything!!!
even if you never have meet them, it could be a verry good show or a song that change you life :P
i just wanna know if you have some inside or memories about simple plan that you want to share wih me... it could be anything!!!
even if you never have meet them, it could be a verry good show or a song that change you life :P
I went to the SIMPLE PLAN concert in GOIANIA, BRAZIL in 2009 and I liked the show very much because I LOVE SIMPLE PLAN and I´M VERY SIMPLE PLAN FAN ! SIMPLE PLAN IS VERY SPECIAL FOR ME !!! Pierre,Sebastien,David,Chuck and Jeff,I LOVE YOU FOREVER,and this year I go to the show again when you come back to BRAZIL. BRAZIL loves SIMPLE PLAN !!!
Last thursday night, SP came to Beijing.. I went to see them at their hotel, and got the chance to ask Jeff(My favourite SP member) for his signature. He agreed, took my pink pen, and after signing for many others, he turned back and looked at me, handing me my pen back. I thought he would never remember who he took the pen from! I melted!! haha! Also on friday night, concert day! Jeff actually handed me his guitar pick, that has his name on it (Maybe cos he remembered me from the night before, and also during rehearsal i got to sneak in and secretly watched them perform). During rehearsal, Jeff passed right by me,but i couldnt jump up to him and give him the biggest hug(Because fans were not allowed to be in there, during their rehearsal,Chinese Rule)... :'( ... I will forever keep this pink pen,Jeff's signature and the guitar pick he gave me.....
I think my fave SP memory is just being a fan for 10 years! Seeing them grow up...and I guess growing up with them! Watching their music evolve and just standing behind them no matter what.
But my fave SP concert was when I went to see them play in Seattle with Billy Talent, MXPX, and Sugarcult! It.was.amazing. haha
I've met the boys twice now and they are amazing...They are so wonderful with their fans and don't mind taking the time to stop and chat, sign things and take LOTS of photos.
I have to say my most special moment was in Sydney this past October, during 'When I'm Gone' Pierre took my hand, crouched down on stage and just starred into my eyes..it was amazing and I felt like the luckiest girl in the room...I can not wait until they tour again this year, I am sooo ready to make some amazing new memories to last a lifetime.
I've never met Simple Plan before. Never even been to a concert before :/ I really hope to go to a concert and meet them one day, just never had the chance. They seem like really nice guys that actually wanna get to know thier fans! I met one of my x-idols before and they didn't wanna talk or even give autographs. I don't listen to their music anymore.
j'ai trop d'insides avec Simple Plan ! mais la fois ou j'ai eu la basse a David , je suis aller backstage dans leur roulotte , et la basse etait dans son étui et David m'a dit : sort la on va toute la signé . Pierre a dit : that's what she said ! . & Seb ma demander si je jouais de la bass j'ai dit non mais je joue de la guit alors.. Pierre A regarder david a pointer .. LÀ et a dit : ohhh a vas s'abaisser a ton niveau -__- .
Aussi au show avec l'OSM , David es vnu me voir et ma fait un calin et il avait un verre d'eau dans les mains et pendant qu'il me fesais un calin , une fille es passer derriere et a accrocher David il m'a renversé un peu d'eau dessus ma regarder et ma dit : oh la ... j'tai toute mouiller -_______________-

Coconino Community College
Emily McRobbie, a familiar face at Coconino Community College, was recently honored as Full Time Faculty of the Year.
McRobbie has been with Coconino Community College since 2001 and recalls unpacking boxes at the Lone Tree Campus before the electricity had been turned on. She spent her first five years serving as Faculty Development Coordinator before transitioning to Education Instructor.
Education instruction is something that came naturally to McRobbie as she taught elementary school for nine years before discovering that she loved working with college students. Luckily for Coconino Community College, McRobbie chose to bring her talents here. McRobbie often teaches the following courses: Introduction to Education, Cultural Diversity in Education, Introduction to Special Education, Relationships in the Classroom and The Community College, as well as Yoga.
McRobbie enjoys working with diverse students and helping them to reach their goal of becoming licensed teachers. She loves to receive emails from past students telling her where they are teaching or finishing their degrees.
"It's special to be a part of someone accomplishing their goals," she said. "Every time I see a student at commencement ceremonies after working with them for several semesters in courses and advising appointments, I feel rewarded."
When McRobbie is not teaching classes, catching up with past students, or leading current students to commencement, she spends her time with her husband and dog. Her other preferred free time activities are hiking, writing, gardening, traveling, reading and photography.
McRobbie confessed she was surprised to learn that she had received the Full Time Faculty of the Year award because there were so many excellent nominees and that she considered it a great honor.
"I thank my wonderful students and colleagues." She explained. "They inspire me."

MACON, Ga. (AP) -- A Macon city councilman is proposing an ordinance to make it easier and safer for disabled citizens to use wheelchairs and electric scooters on city roads.
The Macon Telegraph reported Councilman Frank Tompkins has introduced the ordinance that would establish basic safety rules for the scooters and motorized wheelchairs. One rule would require the scooters or chairs to have reflectors or lights. He also wants the city to install plug in stations to help keep the chairs and scooters powered.
Karen Cooper, the Georgia AARP associate state director, said the need for better safety for motorized wheelchairs has been discussed.
AARP officials said there's a need to make sure wheelchair users, have clear traffic rules to follow.
The proposed ordinance has been referred to council's Public Safety Committee.

Some Victoria's Secret stores train their employees to treat male customers differently from females.
The workers are taught that men will pretty much buy anything in order to get out of the store as quickly as possible – which means they'll spend more money.
Workers are more likely to tell women about promotions – like five for $25 panties – and then turn around and try to sell men full-priced stuff.
And because employees compete to sell as much merchandise as possible, they often fight over male customers.
Pearl Jam took their encore to a new, bizarre level Saturday night. During their set in Spokane, Washington Eddie Vedder mentioned that a guy had a sign saying he wanted the band to shave his dreadlocks. Five songs into their encore Vedder brought the dreadlocked fan on stage. The fan requested the band play "Brain of J" from Yield so he'd have one more song to whip his hair around to. In the middle of the song Vedder grabbed the shears and started cutting away the dreads. After the song was over the band broke into an instrumental jam so Vedder could finish playing barber.
The cast of Anchorman 2 showed up at the movie's premiere in Sydney, Australia and treated the audience to a live rendition of "Afternoon Delight."
Every neighborhood has that one house that gets a lot of attention each holiday season – the one outdoes every other house with hundreds of lights and decorations. The neighbors either appreciate the decorations ... or they complain about it. Imagine living near the Richards family in Canberra, Australia. They just broke the Guinness World Record for the most Christmas lights on a house. Their unbelievable display contains more than half-a-million light bulbs, requiring 31 miles of wire. And their enormous electric bill sets them back about $2,000 a month.
Thanksgiving is a holiday when we spend an entire day locked in a house with family members. Naturally, we're going to need a drink or two-dozen. So you might as well make a game of it.
Here is the ultimate Thanksgiving drinking game to not only help pass the time, but to make the time more tolerable.
Take a drink anytime someone ...
Chug your whole drink anytime someone ...
Funnyman Greg Benson, like so many of us, has too many Facebook friends. He also has many that he's never actually met in person. So, he decided to look these "friends" up and pay them an in-person visit to see if they'd like to be friends in real life. This is Real Life Facebook.
