Words are inadequate for me to express my feelings as we begin this awesome journey together. When I look at the overall ABWA theme for this year "LEADING WITH VISION" it is impossible for me to visualize a person without a vision. We all have a vision of our lives, which encompasses our dreams and gives us the picture of fulfillment. When we permit others to dicker with our vision, the distorted result can cease to inspire and motivate us. Perhaps we aspire to become the scientist who develops a cure for sickle cell anemia or cancer; if we succumb to another's exhortations instead, we are bound to failure and thus have cheated ourselves of our dreams. As your elected leader, I promise to remain focused on the fact that we continue to "CELEBRATE THE SUCCESS" as we "Bridge the Gap and Lead with Vision". We have a fantastic year ahead of us and it is my desire to Lead with the Vision that has been set for us and not to allow others to reduce the scope of our vision. Love to each of you, Videssa A. Woods President

Golden Dome Chapter Monthly Meeting Minutes – July 12, 2010 The monthly meeting began with a networking session from 6-6:30pm at the Paschal's Restaurant at Castleberry Hill located at 108B Northside Drive, NW, Atlanta, GA 30313. The July 12, 2010 meeting was called to order at 6:40pm by President, Eunice Carter, and the Invocation, Pledge Allegiance, and the Mission Statement were said in unison. Madam President, Eunice Carter welcomed all the members and guests. She followed by introducing the members of the Executive Board and our Program Chairman. Our Program Chair, Mrs. Marlena Coggins introduced our Speaker of the Month, Mrs. Geraldine Edmonds Dodson. Mrs. Dodson is a Licensed Property/Casualty Insurance Broker, and she has specialized in Contracting & Procurement for the U.S. Government, ten years in banking, finance, commercial insurance, contract development, and administration. Also, she has sixteen years in employee relations and five years in fundraising in higher education. Currently, she is helping to do a survey in the community and working as a spokesperson for Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home. She is a graduate of Morris Brown College. Mrs. Geraldine E. Dodson's topic: How do I Pre- arrange and Plan out my Funeral? Now is the perfect time to start Planning for life's events. Mrs. Dodson stated that planning out our loved ones funeral or your own is one of the hardest things a family member has to face. She is 3 Vol. 1 - Issue No. 13 July 12 th Meeting Minutes August 2010 conducting a survey to determine how members of our community plan for the death of a loved one. She offers help to improve their service by pinpointing what is most important to each family. There services include: Pre-paid funeral planning, service merchandise, caskets, urns, cremation, memorials, and an insurance policy that cover all the expenses. Preplanning enables a person to create a personalized celebration of one's life and will allow your family and friends to focus on remembering and honoring you. The funds used to establish a policy are not taxable, and you receive about a 3% interest rate. Also, the policy they offer is affordable depending on each individual desires, and they are transferable. If there are left over funds, they may be returned to the estate. A person may establish a policy as long as they are under the age of 90 years old. Insurance coverage is provided by National Guardian Life Insurance Company. The cost of funerals varies depending on what you want. Cremation and memorial services are more economical. One important things she explained is that the funeral expenses and the cemetery vault (Plot for burial) are two separate costs, however; they provide assistance with both. She encouraged everyone to take the first step and start planning to help make life a lot easier for their family. The members received the information very positively and were very interested. There was a question and answer session. She was applauded for her candid and informative presentation. Mrs. Dodson was presented a plaque from Golden Dome by Mrs. Marlena Coggins, and a photo was taken for our scrapbook. President Carter recognized the Member of the Month, Mrs. Carrol J. Walker. Currently, Carrol is the Business Manager for Wilbanks & Bridges Law

Step into the future with ABWA 5 Vol. 1 - Issue No. 13 Reminders / Code of Conduct August 2010
Vol. 1 - Issue No. 13 Speaker's Information August 2010 Rosemary Sims Willingham Having lived my entire life in the city of Atlanta, GA, it has given me numerous blessings, like strong ties to my family who have instilled in me the importance of quality education. As the oldest of four girls, I learned responsibility and leadership at a young age and taught my sisters by being a positive role model. In addition, my friends have provided great support in all my endeavors as a young professional in the business community. It is my turn to "give back" to the community by serving in any capacity I can help women to lead better lives. Married to Walter Willingham we have two daughters, Arnetta Giles and Toya Riley and a beautiful granddaughter Nyna Rose Riley. Over the years, I have always tried to stay positive, involved and feel passionate about giving back. Therefore, volunteered at several women's shelters including My Sister's House and Abernathy Shelter for Women; worked with the Dress for Success Program; volunteered at Bonterra Nursing Home, Grady Health Care and many outreach programs through Zion Hill Baptist Church ministries and American Business Women Association. I am an active in ministries at Zion Hill Baptist Church, currently serving as president of the Courtesy Guild Ministry, member of Evangelism and Missionary Ministries. My work in the business arena began at the Ivan Allen Company in 1969 where I remained until 2001 when a National Office Products Company acquired the company. It has been a pleasure to provide services and products to numerous Atlanta businesses over the years. I continued to work in the industry building customer relations and helping companies find the right products for their offices. I currently made a career transition with MassMutual Brill Financial Group, where I am still building relationship and helping others. Currently I am an independent broker representing several Fortune 100 companies in the insurance and financial industry. I am a broker for insurance for the following insurance products; term, whole life, critical illness, final needs plans and long-term care insurance products. A national member of the American Business Women's Association as well as a member of the Golden Dome Chapter and has severed as president of the Southlake Chapter and vice president of Atlanta Downtown Express Network (ADEN). I have served in many capacities on various committees and chaired their respective Executive Boards. Honored to have served on the Formation Team of the Southlake Chapter and once its chartered I became the 1 st Vice-President. Also served as 2004-2005 Corresponding Secretary, 2006 Treasurer and 2007 Vice Chair of the Atlanta Area Council became Council Chairman 2008. Always striving to broaden my knowledge and educational horizons in preparing for a world of change, I enrolled at Atlanta School of Business and completed courses at Clayton State College, Atlanta Technical College, and Dale Carnegie Sales Course for career growth to obtain current workplace knowledge. I have participated in numerous other certified programs offered through ABWA. Graduate of Shorter College, B.S. in Management cum laude. I am currently enrolled in graduate program for general counseling at Capella University. This has truly led to a career path to help women to lead in all aspects of their lives. However, we cannot lead until we are servants at heart. It is an honor and pleasure for me to serve as 2008 Council Chairman of Atlanta Area Council of ABWA and most recently selected as Woman of Year by an outside panel. Atlanta Area Council consists of more than thirty chapters and express networks in metropolitan Atlanta. Selected as 2008 Unsung Heroine by The National Coalition of 100 Black Women of Atlanta is a community award I will always cherish. As Chairman of AAC, I have help women to strive for leadership roles in their communities and workplace, with the knowledge we can only be great when those we help, helps another from lessons they have learned. We should all strive for greatness.

The Annual Atlanta Area Council July Luncheon began with a very informative morning session which was presented by our "FOREVER TENS" – Richie Morris – Hidden Hills, Barbara Christian Campbell – Hidden Hills, Marcita Scharnhorst – Douglas County Charter Chapter, Dr. Maggie Mercer – Douglas County Charter Chapter and our very own Marlena Coggins was very enlightening and informative for those of us in attendance. They provided insight into obtaining National Top Ten. Some "Winning Edge" pointers provided were 1) Stay Committed, 2) Community Involvement, 3) Write your own story with enthusiasm, 4) Join Civic Organizations and 5) Never stop learning. This session was ended by a question and answer period which climaxed with the question "Why are the retired members not included in the number of those eligible to run for National Top Ten?" The panel was unable to provide an answer but promised to seek out the answer. The Luncheon celebrating our District One Vice President, Anne Pasquini was a grand success. Attendance was up and this made for a very good presentation. The District 1 Vice President candidate Christine Wright presented her candidates' speech to the national candidates, topic "How to Utilize WIN to Impress Women to Join ABWA" which was to the point and quite timely. There were so many dignitaries from around the country present that you would have thought it was in honor of Stephen Bufton, himself. We were graced with the presence of two of our National Officers – National President, Casey Coven and National Secretary-Treasurer, Lynn Drowne. A large number of past and present District Vice Presidents were in attendance and helped to make a grand celebration. Anne was presented with a beautiful gift (Lead Crystal Vase) from the July Luncheon committee members, headed by Christine Mann. A very special recognition was given by Anne Pasquini to her parents which were very touching and heart wrenching for her as well as those of us in attendance. Special recognition to past PAACC Patricia Malone was done and a group photo was taken of the committee with her photo in the center. Ms. Pasquini advised us that she and Christine Mann attended the recognition luncheon held in Warner Robbins wherein Patricia Malone was inducted into the Women of Aviation Hall of Fame. There was good news provided by Atlanta Area Council Chair, Janice Trusdale Harris who announced that due to the great participation at the Atlanta Area Council Annual Workshop they were able to give out two (2) one-half registrations to ABWA National Leadership Conference; Ms. Roshon Thomas was the alternate recipient.

Vol. 1 - Issue No. 13 Golden Nugget August 2010 Golden Dome Chapter No. 1230 c/o S. Diane White, Newsletter Editor 1735 John Calvin Avenue College Park, GA 30337 The first gold rush in U.S. history did not start in California in 1849. It was 1828, when gold was discovered in a part of the Cherokee Nation, known today as Dahlonega, GA. The town gets its name from the Cherokee Word, talonega, meaning golden. A U.S. Branch Mint opened there in 1838, pumping out $6 million in gold coins – over $100 million in today's dollars. This gold was used to build the Dome on the State Capitol and thus our Chapter was named "Golden Dome" after the State Capitol.

Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists (in short, the Wentworth Group) is an independent group comprising Australian scientists, economists and business people with conservation interests.
The name of the group comes from the venue of their principal meetings prior to release of their first blueprint; Blueprint for a Living Continent.[1]
The Wentworth Group has three core objectives:
- Driving innovation in the management of Australia's biodiversity, land and water resources;
- Engage business, community and political leaders in a dialogue to find and implement solutions to the challenge of environmental stewardship facing the future of Australian society;
- Building capacity by mentoring and supporting young scientists, lawyers and economists to develop their skills and understanding of public policy.
The Wentworth Group first came together in November 2002. Their first statement, Blueprint for a Living Continent, set out what it believed were the key changes that needed to be made to deliver a sustainable future for our continent and its people. The Group emphasised the need to:[1]
- Clarify water property rights and the obligations associated with those rights to give farmers some certainty and to enable water to be recovered for the environment.
- Restore environmental flows to stressed rivers, such as the River Murray and its tributaries.
- Immediately end broadscale landclearing of remnant native vegetation and assist rural communities with adjustment. This provides fundamental benefits to water quality, prevention of salinity, prevention of soil loss and conservation of biodiversity.
- Pay farmers for environmental services (clean water, fresh air, healthy soils). Where we expect farmers to maintain land in a certain way that is above their duty of care, we should pay them to provide those services on behalf of the rest of Australia.
- Incorporate into the cost of food, fibre and water the hidden subsidies currently borne by the environment, to assist farmers to farm sustainably and profitably in this country.
The Wentworth Group consists of:[2][3]
- Peter Cosier, an urban and regional planner, policy analyst, and conservationist who is the Group's Director
- Dr. Richard Davis, an hydrologist who was a Chief Science Advisor to the Australian National Water Commission; and research scientist at CSIRO Australia
- Professor Tim Flannery, FAA, a mammalogist, palaeontologist, environmentalist and global warming activist, awarded as the 2007 Australian of the Year[4]
- Associate Professor Ronnie Harding, a zoologist who was an Assistant Commissioner, NSW Natural Resources Commission; a former Director, Institute of Environmental Studies, University of New South Wales
- Dr. Terry Hillman, AM, an ecologist who is an Adjunct Professor at La Trobe University; a former Member of the Murray-Darling Basin Sustainable Rivers Audit
- Professor Lesley Hughes, an ecologist who is a Councillor of the Australian Climate Council; Lead Author, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Working Group II; Professorial Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University
- Professor David Karoly, a atmospheric scientist who is the Professor of Atmospheric Science, University of Melbourne; Member, Australian Climate Change Authority; Lead Author, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
- Professor Hugh Possingham, FAA, an applied mathematician with an interest in ecology and conservation biology[5]
- Rob Purves, AM, a businessman and philanthropist who is the President of WWF Australia; Chair, Purves Environmental Fund[6]
- Dr. Denis Saunders, AM, an ecologist who is the editor of Pacific Conservation Biology; and a former Chief Research Scientist, CSIRO Australia
- Emeritus Professor Bruce Thom, AM, FTSE, a geographer who is the Chair of the 2001 Australian State of the Environment; and a former Chair, Australian Coast and Climate Change Council
- Dr. John Williams, FTSE, an hydrologist[7]
Former members[edit]
- Dr Neil Byron, a resource economist, who was a Commissioner of the Australian Productivity Commission
- Professor Peter Cullen, AO, FTSE (1943–2008), an ecologist, who served as a member of the Group until his death

Fiq, Ethiopia
Central Market of Fiq, Ethiopia
|Coordinates: 8°8′N 42°18′E / 8.133°N 42.300°E
|1,229 m (4,032 ft)
|Time zone
Fiq is a town in eastern Ethiopia. Located in the Fiq Zone of the Somali Region, this town has a latitude and longitude of 08°8′N 42°18′E / 8.133°N 42.300°E with an elevation of 1229 meters above sea level.[1]
The Guida dell'Africa Orientale Italiana described Fiq in 1938 as a place where the OGADENSomali would gather during certain months. Travel by motorcar between Fiq and Babille was possible by a track. Administrative buildings present at the time included a post office, telegraph office and an infirmary.[1]
Early in the Ogaden War, Fiq was captured by Somali units; following the fall of Jijiga they used the town as a base for the southern jaw of a pincher attack with the goal of capturing Harar, which raged for four months from September 1977 to January 1978. Despite unexpectedly heavy resistance from the Somali, the Ethiopian Eighth division, supported by a Cuban artillery battalion, entered Fiq 8 March 1979.[2]
Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this town has an estimated total population of 12,911, of whom 6,932 were men and 5,979 were women.[3] The 1997 national census reported a total population for this town of 8,656, of whom 4,580 were men and 4,076 were women. The predominant ethnic group reported in Fiq was the Somali (99.03% of the population).[4] It is the largest town in Fiq woreda.

Discussion in 'Infantry' started by Tartan_Ninja, Nov 3, 2006.
The heart of the site is the forum area, including:
Should this thread not have a poll?
poll wont work......say what you feel!
I have pizza in oven...you welcome to join.meat feast...wife will eat half..
It's a bit vague don't you think.
There are some excellent TA infantry units, and there are also some that are not nearly as good.
I can imagine that the situation is the same for the National Guard.
On the other hand, I can imagine that the NG have better options for fire support (all that 'shock and awe' stuff they keep talking about).
I think I'd take the National Guard, as most have had a number of tours already in Iraq & Afganistan. I may be wrong, but I don't think that the TA as units have BTDT all that much.
I have to agree with Tartan_Terrier, some National Guard units are better then others and I would presume TA units would be the same. Doesn't the TA have SAS units? All of our non-active duty Special Forces Units are National Guard and all have deployed often to both places. They are well trained
As long as the National Guard units didn't tear off in quick time when the rounds started coming down, screaming "get out of the killing zone" like in that Haliburton convoy ambush video....then yeah, they can come and play.
Spams or British?
Looking at Spams running 2nd rate prisions, Running away in contact, and chewing tabaco...I'll stick with UK TA forces every time. Bit of a silly question really.
-Umm, yeah, except that was a Transportation unit, NOT Infantry
Denfinitely British, at least they speak English.
Well, on second thoughts, um ...
I've only seen One TA unit, and you've disbanded it this year. They were Very Professional though(RIR*).
We have good & bad NG Infantry Units. Some were under the old TO&E for M113 Mech, some are M2BFV, some Light. As "T-W" said there are several SF Units, LRSD's,etc.
The old "E" Brigades were equipped to a high standard in the Infantry Bn's (M4's, AN/PVS-14's, AN/PEQ-2's, M2A2ODS, M1A1's,BFT,DAGR, etc.), then the Divisions.
Now of those 15 brigades, 75% or better have been in either Iraq or A-Stan recently. In My state,(NY) all the Infantry Bn's had had a year in Iraq already. Same for Louisiana as well, Texas, Florida, Vermont, Hawaii, Guam, etc.
Since late 2001 My unit has deployed twice , once for 13 month's & then again for 18 Month's.
How does that compare to the TA?
* ( one of their Cpl's is a legend in our Bn., he beat the shite out of our old Bn. CSM after a night of Bar-hopping in Manhatten) He rates a Pint anyday....
pull up a sandbag and swing the light: do tell more
The TA now has more ex reg's than ever before, And most unit's have been to iraq or afghan, And your forgetting one thing The TA is part of the British Army Which is the best Fighting force in the world, So it goes without saying that the TA is the one i would rather have on my flank, Having seen both TA and NG in Iraq.
Depends national guard have more fire power.TA have no transport so wont be able to run away
Separate names with a comma.

Discover Newport
They're your vacation days. Do something new.
After a long day of surfing, sand castle-building, ogling otters at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, blowing a glass float, touring a lighthouse, and shopping on the bayfront, you're probably ready for some live music, right? There are lots of places in Newport to tap your toes and hum along. Here are some of the best live music venues in town, ranging from pubs to resorts.
After a long day of surfing, sand castle-building, ogling otters at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, blowing a glass float, touring a lighthouse, and shopping on the bayfront, you're probably ready for some live music, right? There are lots of places in Newport to tap your toes and hum along. Here are some of the best live music venues in town, ranging from pubs to resorts.
While Newport's beaches are ideal for a great many beachy activities, the water is generally much too cold and rough for a simple swim. You'll note that even the hardiest surfers don't brave the waves without a full wetsuit, year-round. If you are craving a swim or a soak, we do have the spot for you: Newport's brand new municipal pool, which opened in February 2017, located adjacent to the existing Newport Recreation Center.
The new pool is actually three pools: a 25-yard, eight-lane lap pool; a warmer therapy/activity pool that includes a "beach entry" for ease of access for young children and a lazy river feature; and a 12-person spa pool, great therapy for sore muscles.
Open seven days a week, the facility offers recreational swim time, lap swim time, classes, lessons, and practice time for Newport's two swim teams. The complete schedule is available here.
The pool is attached to the Newport Recreation Center, a 45,000-square-foot facility containing two gyms, a cardio/fitness area, an indoor track, and more – so you have no excuse to skip the workout while you're visiting Newport!
Day passes allow access to both the Rec Center and the pool. Non-resident drop-in fees range from $2 for infants to $6.25 for adults.

On a busy summer weekend, or other busy time like spring break, it may seem like parking is at a premium in Newport. But there are plenty of places to park, and walking around town is not as daunting as it may seem – it's a pretty small town despite its large array of offerings! Here are the main spots to park in each neighborhood.
Agate Beach
If you're heading to Yaquina Head, there is plenty of parking even if the lot near the lighthouse is full. Park at the visitor center, check out the interpretive materials there, and then walk the short, gorgeous, mostly-paved trail from there to the lighthouse. Limited handicapped parking is, of course, available at the lighthouse but you might have to try multiple times before getting a spot during the busy season.
Accessing Agate Beach itself is a piece of cake these days – there are multiple access points, all with a good amount of parking. To get to the beach, park at the Agate Beach State Recreation Site on NW Oceanview, either in the small beachside lot or the very large lot across the street. You can also park in the Ernest Bloch Wayside near Roby's Furniture on Hwy 101, and get to the beach either via the Lucky Gap Trail at the south end of the parking lot or via the new staircase down the road to the north. Parking for that staircase access can also be found along the newly-connected NW Gilbert Way and there are a few spots in a small lot on the corner of NW Lighthouse Dr.
Nye Beach
There is both on-street and lot parking in the Nye Beach neighborhood. The main lot for this neighborhood is at the Nye Beach Turnaround under the concrete arch.
The Bayfront often seems so crowded that it's impossible to find a parking space. But take heart – if you can walk just a little distance, you can always find a spot. There is parking along Bay Blvd. and along many of the side streets that feed into the Bayfront neighborhood. In addition, there is a small public lot next to the Rogue Public House, a few spots at the very west end of the street near the Coast Guard Station, and head-in parallel spots lining SE Bay Blvd. near the fishing docks. Do not park in the lot marked specifically for fishermen! One other lot is found uphill from the Bayfront on Canyon Way, adjacent to Canyon Way Bookstore and Restaurant.
One lesser-known lot that provides easy access to the Bayfront, Deco District, and Nye Beach is found further up Canyon Way where it becomes SW Hurbert St. at SW 9th St. From here it's just a few blocks to the Bayfront in one direction and Nye Beach in the other, and you're smack-dab in the middle of the Deco District near the municipal swimming pool and recreation center, La Maison Restaurant, the summer farmers market, and many other local attractions.
Deco District
The Hurbert St./9th St. lot mentioned above is one easy place to park in the Deco District, and there is a new lot at Angle St. and SW 9th St.
South Beach
Parking is rarely a problem in South Beach, unless you are trying to park near the Rogue Brewery during a halibut opener. Otherwise, parking is ample for each individual South Beach attraction: the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Hatfield Marine Science Center, South Beach State Park, the South Beach marina, Aquarium Village, and the Rogue Brewery all have their own parking.
Of course, walking, biking, and using the city bus are also great options for getting around Newport.
Newport is a beautiful place to hike, especially for families – the terrain is varied and generally not too challenging, the views are spectacular, and a latte or ice cream cone are never very far away. Just to the north and south of the city are some more challenging, longer hikes that would appeal to more serious trekkers. Here are some short hikes within city limits.Discover More
Whether you're an artistic genius or your artistic talents are, let's say, as yet undiscovered, here's a fun activity to try the next time you visit Newport with friends or family: paint your own masterpiece at one of Art 101's Canvas and Cocktail events. These fun, laid-back, guided painting classes are held the first Friday evening of every month at the Rogue's Public House on the Bayfront, and similar paint nights are also held by appointment in Art 101's own studio space. Either way, they're a blast, and the bonus is, you'll end up with a unique souvenir to hang on your wall.
Canvas and Cocktails participants gather in the card room at the Rogue, order food and drinks off the regular menu, and are given a canvas, paints, brushes, an easel, and even a smock. Everyone paints the same painting, chosen from among three options offered during the event registration period (see Art 101's Facebook page or their web site for options and other sign-up information). Philip leads the way, painting the picture one simple step at a time. After he demonstrates each step, he and Jenni circulate among the tables of participants offering guidance, advice, encouragement, more paint as needed, and the occasional gentle teasing remark.
Art 101 is happy to conduct these paint nights as fundraisers or private parties at the Rogue or their studio space, or they'll come to you, anywhere you'd like. Regular paint nights cost $25 per person at the Rogue or $30 in the studio.
Art 101's event calendar is chock-full of other fun activities as well, open to visitors as well as locals. They hold sign-painting nights, at which participants can create any number of fun, decorative signs. Family craft nights are a huge hit, where everyone in the family can come and get covered in glue or paint for the craft of the evening. Parents and kids love "Kids Night In," where parents can drop off their young'uns and head out for the evening, leaving the kids in Jenni and Philip's capable (and paint-stained) hands. "The parents just skip out of here," Jenni said. "And the kids always leave happy, too."
If there isn't a scheduled event on their calendar during your Newport visit, they're happy to set one up for you – just give them a call and they'll be happy to arrange a paint night, sign-making party, or craft event for you.

"Victor knows his job well and he is an honest person. He will tell you exactly the problem before..."
Review for Momentum BMW Mini-Body Shop
Ashley C. on 01/30/2015
Spoke with Daniel. He said the amount of time it took to repair his vehicle was ridiculous. It took a month to complete a weeks worth of work. No promised time was given. The work did not add up to the amount of time it took. There was only eight hours worth of time on the estimate. He said he felt the notification system was not accurate. He made a point to schedule his repairs for a time that would be convenient for them. He was notified that his vehicle was ready for pick up but when he arrived there, they had not started on it yet. He will not recommend the business for the reasons stated.

Well, before you all kill me for writing another new fic instead of updating all my other ones, I've had this one written for a really long time now, and I kinda need to destroy the original. Well, here you go!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruitsbasket, and my manipulating the characters is proof of my insanity. (This does not nesecarily apply to all fan-fic athors)
Ayame answered the phone and heard her soft voice speak to him.
"Ayame, I need to see you... please..." Tohru's voice sounded very weak and strained.
"Tohru, what's wrong, where are you?" he barely managed to keep himself from screaming in his panic. She couldn't be hurt, could she?
"I'm at school, and on my way to see you. Please help me!" Tohru burst into tears, dropping the phone. Ayame started to scream out.
"Tohru? Tohru! Hold on! Stay where you are, I'm coming!" he hung up the phone and grabbed his keys off the table. Mine looked up, confused.
"Boss, is something wrong?" she stood up and began to go towards Ayame.
"Mine, close the store and get home. I'll call you later and tell you what has happened." with that, he left, leaving a very worried and confused Mine standing alone in the shop.
Ayame arrived at Tohru's highschool quickly, as he had mainly sped the entire trip. He jumped out and ran to the girl sitting on a bench. She looked up, and saw Ayame a second before she had been taken into his arms. Tohru had still been crying, and Ayame just held her to him tightly.
"Tohru, you had me so worried, what happened to you?" he noticed that she was covered in bruises and cuts all over her body. Her uniform was very dirty and torn in several areas, one spot showing the side of her bra.
"A-Akito came, to-to check on me, and to erase everyone's... memories. Hatori had been... hypnotised or something... so he just did exactly as he had been told. It seemed as though he had become just a puppet for his master's game. Yuki, Kyo, momiji, Haru... they've all forgotten me. He even did it to Uo-chan and Hana-chan!" Tohru wrapped her own arms around Ayame, crying harder than before. Ayame gently stroked her back, looking behind her, and at her hair. He noticed something glistening in her hair, and followed it to a bleeding gash down her arm.
"Tohru, lets get out of here. We aren't safe here any longer." he knew without being told that he was on the list to forget about Tohru. She had saved them all from the curse, and he had been the one to help her most of the way.
They stood up, with difficulty as Tohru's legs were weak from the beating she'd had. She passed out as soon as Ayame had laid her into the back seat of his car. He gently secured her before climbing in himself. He got out a map and found the best route to Kyoto before driving off.
---------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------
Tohru awoke to a low humming beneath her body. Sitting up, she saw a country side passing by through the windows of the car. It was night time, and she could see some lights in the distance.
"Ayame, where are we going?"
"Oh, finally awake? We are going to Kyoto. We couldn't stay in Tokyo anymore. Kyoto has very few Sohma relatives, if any, so we can stay there for awhile."
"Oh. Are we going to drive all night?" she asked, settling herself into position with a belt.
"No, I'm going to stop at the second hotel I see."
"Why the second?"
"We don't want to be found, now do we?" he looked into the back and winked. "Hold on, and you can switch to the front." he pulled over to the side of the road. Getting out, he walked around and helped Tohru get situated with a blanket. He blushed slightly when he saw her exposed bra, as he had not noticed it before.
"What are you looking at Ayame?" Tohru asked innocently, trying to follow his gaze.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I hadn't realized that I was staring. But since you must know, it was at your adorable little heart covered bra." Tohru blushed scarlet and looked down. She hadn't even noticed her shirt had been ripped that much.
"Eek!" she covered herself quickly, and avoided meeting Ayame's gaze.
"Oh, don't look away," he said, feigning sadness. He shut the door and went back to his own seat. Turning on the vehicle's inside lights, he found in a bag in the backseat some clothing repairing tools. It did not take him long to thread up a needle and pull the blanket Tohru was wearing down to her lap. He saw her blush and smiled. He began to work at reattaching some of the shirt to make it more modest. Tohru blushed, but watched as he quickly sewed up the rip, hiding her bra again.
"Thank you," she said when he had finished.
"There is nothing to it, my dear, but I couldn't have you going around looking indecent! Though the whole uniform shall have to be repaired. I only hope that I may be able to fix it up so that no one would even be able to tell it was ever ripped in the first place."
"Its, alright. Where ever we go, I'll just have to get some new clothes."
"I will not allow it! The insult! Wearing another designer's clothing in front of me? Tohru, how could you!" he pretended to cry into the steering wheel.
"Ahh! That isn't what I meant! Please stop crying!" she waved her hands frantically, looking worried. A sharp pain from her gash caused her to wince.
"Oh, tohru," Ayame said, sitting back up and massaging the bandage he had placed around the gash earlier, "I was only joking. Now you've gone and disrupted your wound. Come. Let us get you to a hotel forthwith." With that, he turned off the lights and began to drive away, but he kept one hand around Tohru's the entire trip to the hotel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
It took an hour to find the hotel, get a room, (with acting in front of the clerk that they were merely siblings, nothing more) and actually finding the room. All of the double rooms had already been rented out for the night, so they took a single.
Ayame was busy unpacking some medical supplies while Tohru took a shower. When he finished, he sat on the bed, and flipped on the TV. With the remote he flipped through the channels, trying to find something to watch. There was nothing on but the news. He left it on that while he went to the sink in the room. Ayame could here the water from Tohru's shower faintly through the bathroom door while he poured himself a glass of water.
Returning to the TV, he sat on the bed and looked at what was on.
"Tonight, in the Tokyo district there has been reported that a seventeen year old girl has been attacked. The girl in question is a miss Tohru Honda, whom has not been seen since the attack." the reporter spoke.
"I saw it happen, but someone hit me on the head. I woke up hours later and she was gone." a witness said in an inerview just moments ago. The reporter took up control of the story again.
"If you have any news about miss Honda, you are asked to please step forward. In other news-"
Ayame turned the set off. He couldn't believe his ears. It hadn't even been three hours since he himself had rescued Tohru from being found by Akito. Now all of Tokyo would be on the look out for her.
"Ayame," Tohru was peeking from behind the bathroom door. He hadn't noticed the water turning off.
"I'll be right there," he answered. He got up and began to gather all the guaze and things. Tohru went back into the bathroom to wait. A couple of minutes later, Ayame entered and took a seat on the side of the tub, while Tohru sat on the toilet seat.
Carefully, Ayame began to wrap up one of the nastier gashes after rubbing some ointment on it first. It took him ten minutes to get her one arm done, five the other, and half an hour to finish both legs. He had never seen someone so badly hurt before, and to his bad luck it had to be the one girl he loved.
"Tohru, I need you to remove the towel." Ayame said after a few minutes of contemplating the seriousness of her wounds.
"Eh!" Tohru gasped, blushing a very deep red.
"Now, don't think me a pervert, Tohru-kun, but I must wrap the wounds on your stomach as well, and when you had your bra exposed I could see them quite clearly." He gently took her hand in his, and held it near his heart. "Trust me, I won't take advantage."
He looked deeply into her eyes and she could see naught but truthfulness in them. She nodded, and let him take his hand back to her towel, gently sliding it down. She stood up, and let it slide to the floor while Ayame began to work again. It seemed to him that the worst wounds were indeed being concealed by the towel. He looked at them worriedly, but still blushed at the sight of her naked form facing him. He quickly completed his job.
While Ayame worked, Tohru blushed lightly, knowing it had to be done. And with how she was feeling now...
"All done." Ayame said smiling. Not a second later Tohru fell, and was caught in Ayame's strong arms. He saw her flushed face and felt how her skin was burning though she shivered.
"Tohru!" he yelled, gently laying her down. He held a hand to her head and could tell she had a fever. He quicly groped around on the floor for the first aid box. Opening it he searched for a box of cold medicine. Upon finding it he put some in Tohru's mouth followed by a sip of water. She didn't swallow. He tried everything he could think of, from rubbing her throat to blowing on her nose (my dad has to do this to get my cat to get him to take his medicine. Figured it should work on people too, though I'm just guessin'. I doubt it would really work, but I'm not sure. Don't quote me on this or try it!).
He looked at Tohru's face once more, before it came to him. He blushed at the thought, but knew it may be the only way. He leaned his head down towards Tohru's, and covered her mouth with his. He kissed her mildly but passionately until she swallowed, and a little longer. When his lips did depart hers, he checked to see that her eyes were still shut. They were. Releasing a sigh of relief, he took a sip of water in his own mouth but didn't swallow. Again he kissed her until she swallowed and longer. He gave her three more sips of water in the same fashion.
He picked her up, remembering by the feel of her body against his that she was naked except for the bandages. He blushed as he slid her into bed, covering her completely. He looked at her face, slightly less flushed, but still red. He turned off the light and grabbed an extra blanket from the closet. He covered himself and brought a chair over to the bed side. He went to sleep almost instantly while he held her hand .
Tohru opened her eyes. She looked at the man sleeping next to her and smiled. She hadn't passed out, but had been too weak to open her eyes. She brought a finger to her lips. Ayame, she thought, is it possible that you feel the same? She smiled as she gently brushed some of his stray bangs out of his eyes before she settled back to sleep.

A donation of $1 million to a newly created "Delaware Good Neighbor Fund," designed to provide relief for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, has been made by the Rickman family, the owners of Delaware Park. Delaware Park was the first business to give money to the Fund, which was announced at a press conference by Gov. Ruth Ann Minner and Lt. Governor John C. Carney, Jr. "It was the Rickman family who approached the Governor and helped jump start the 'Good Neighbor Fund,'" said William Fasy, chief operating officer of Delaware Park. "Mr. Rickman (Jr.) wanted to do this because he was a helicopter pilot in the Army, and he flew over the devastation caused by Hurricane Camille (in 1969). He saw first hand what can happen in a natural disaster, and wanted to help. He was recently out west, called me, and within five or six days we were in touch with the Governor and had the Fund put together. "We're not a big, billion-dollar corporation by any means," said Fasy, "and if we can give $1 million, it makes you hope that other Delaware businesses could follow our example and also donate to this Fund." "I cannot imagine what it must be like for the victims of this storm, and I believe it's important that we reach out to them with whatever help we can give," said Rickman in a press release. "The devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina have touched our entire nation and so many Delawareans want to help," Gov. Minner said. "The donations collected through this fund will be sent to the organizations directly assisting in hurricane relief efforts and Lt. Gov. Carney and I would urge interested Delaware businesses to join with Delaware Park in offering whatever assistance they can to help those affected by last week's storm." The horsemen at Delaware Park announced they will donate $250,000 of their purse money to National Thoroughbred Racing Association Charities, which has also set up a relief fund for the hurricane victims.

Please explain the ideas of salvation and dissention in "Robinson Crusoe."how it affected him physically,materially and spiritually
1 Answer | Add Yours
One of the ways that Defoe addresses salvation through Robinson Crusoe is in the story being a metaphor of sorts for the way salvation is presented in the Christian theology. When Robinson decides that he cannot approach life the way he is expected to within society, he leaves and winds up on the deserted island trying to figure out how to live in a very different sense. This rejection of the status quo or of the world's expectations serves as his original sin, that which separates him from God, or in this case his fellow human beings and the society into which he was born.
The struggle for redemption is what drives the plot in the book as Robinson begins to find meaning in his life in a very different way than he had prior to his shipwreck.
This mimics some of the ideas about salvation and dissention that were present in society at the time. There was a strong culture of obedience and Defoe made his statements about that culture through the character of Robinson Crusoe. Just as some people left England to escape the strictures of puritanism and the dominant culture of the time, Crusoe escapes to a deserted island in order to find his own way in life.

21 years ago today I gave birth to a little boy named Christopher Thomas. Christopher never took a breath outside of my womb but I miss him just the same. He lived and grew within me for 6 months. Even though I was 16 and scared to death I loved him, was in love with him from early on. Laughing when he first had the hiccups and then thinking he would become a kick-boxer or soccer player the way he moved all the time.
Christopher would be 21 this year. Had he been healthy and born on time I would likely still be in mourning today, wondering what he'd be like, if he went to college or had a special someone. We planned to give him to a wonderful family who would love and take care of him better than a 16 year old girl and boyfriend who'd probably not last another year together, let alone be good parents. He was never going to be mine. But he's always been mine, he's always been near.
I used to get glimpses of him as a 5 year old boy, dark hair, brown eyes and onry as the dickens. Then a few years back while celebrating one of my friends' son's 15th birthday it hit me that he was the same age as Christopher would have been. A skater boy, dark shaggy hair, deep brown eyes. This Sunday on the way to church it hit me that Christopher would be 21 this year. It's hard to imagine me with a 21 year old son. Yet, it doesn't seem so scary now. He'd be a young man, hopefully near finishing his college degree. Philosophy? Science? Pre-med even? Or maybe religious studies...like his mom.
This has been a hard birthday. I've been a mess since Sunday. Thankfully I have an especially wonderful husband and sister. My sister, Amanda, drove 3 hours this morning to be with me. She knew I was in pain. Unfortunatley she knows my pain as she lost her first daughter just 6 weeks after she was born. Today we cried we laughed. We loved our dead children.
Yesterday was Merkin's birthday, today Christopher's, and Friday will be mine. Most years aren't this rough. The freshness of the pain ebbs and flows in no particular pattern or rhythm.
Happy Birthday Christopher, I've always loved you and I always will.

Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. When I had a miscarriage 28 years ago, I bought myself a little figurine of a baby sleeping in a little bed. Even though I went on to have other children, that baby still existed and is loved. I wish you the very best.

Tribal Programmes
The Tribal special project is an initiative of Kudumbashree in collaboration with the Tribal department to address the special issue of the tribal population of the state, in a systematic manner. The project primarily targets at bringing the marginalized tribals under the aegis of the Kudumbashree network and provide them with facilities which were otherwise less accessible or denied, as part of its poverty eradication mission. The objectives of the mission is planned to be achieved with the active convergence of various government and non government agencies as well as departments. The project was initiated as a pilot in select 10 panchayats of 4 districts namely Idukki, Wayanad, Palakkad and Kasaragod in the first phase. In the second phase the project was expanded to 10 selected panchayats of the remaining district excluding Alappuzha, owing to less number of tribal inhabitation in the district. In the third phase the project has been expanded to all panchayats with tribal inhabitation. Community mobilization and NHG formation is important for people- centered, integrated development. It is a process for empowering local communities especially vulnerable groups like tribal and combining awareness creation, self organization and action so that communities can work for changes that will benefit the social, emotional, financial and physical needs of beneficiaries. The Tribal special project facilitates the creation of ST NHGs. The project provides a corpus fund of Rs. 10,000 at all newly formed ST NHGs. General trainings and awareness classes for women and teenaged children, based on specific subjects and medical camps were also a regular feature of activities undertook for tribals. Micro finance and Micro enterprise activities are given special focus among the tribals as part of the project activities. Joint Liability Group formed for the promotion of Agriculture activity in tribal sector. Special Tribal Ashraya Project was a special effort to bring the destitute towards the mainstream by providing them with food, clothes, housing, pension etc. It is such instances that prompted Kudumbashree to form special Ashraya projects for tribal beneficiaries. As part of the Tribal Special Project, the State Kudumbashree Mission has received 84 Special Tribal Ashraya Projects from districts. provision of supplementary food for the malnourished aged, infants and adolescent girls, formation of ST Balasabhas and adolescents club, holistic health programme, etc are some of the highlights of the project.

"Social @ Every Turn"
Social media is involved in the customer journey at every turn. From discovery and consideration to purchase, service and beyond. Digital Air Strike's recent Automotive Social Media Trends Study shows 70% of car buyers and 57% of service customers spend a few weeks to a few months searching for a dealership. In that time there are many opportunities for social media to steer them in one direction or another. We will show you how dealers can use social media and online review sites to connect with customers who are at the beginning stages of the buying process, influence them to visit a dealership or ask for a price quote online, and retarget consumers who are considering a lease or purchase, including those who may have only visited a dealer website. You'll also see how social media can continue to influence consumers even after the sale – where customer and brand loyalty are built.

Since mobile has become the digital "conqueror" of modern times the mobile technology is developing and so ASO benefits are of great importance. Nevertheless, ASO alone is not enough for those marketers looking for holistic marketing app solutions. In this framework, this article will be an attempt to briefly approach ASO along with other techniques that can help optimize an app.
(Image Credits: a1appstudio.com)
App Store Optimization Definition
App Store Optimization (ASO) is a way of making an application visible in search results of an app store by ranking higher and as a consequence increasing the possibilities of a user to pick it among others and finally download it.
Valuable information: Several ranking factors are not evaluated as equally important from the two app stores (iTunes Apple Store and Google Play Store).
Ranking Factors in ASO
Title and Description
Create unique titles and descriptions after selecting relevant keywords that best describe the app.
As regards to title, it is recommended to place the most important keywords at the beginning of the title along with the name of the app. Choose relevancy before difficulty when choosing keywords. In iTunes App store, the 25 first characters (out of 100) of the title are the most important. Mind not to include the name of the app category or if it's a paid or a free app as it preexists by default. In Google Play store, the title is limited to 30 characters. The description text ought to be clear, interesting and promising. Mind that in Apple store, the description does not affect ranking a lot and only the first 3 lines are those that can affect ranking. On the contrary, in Google App store the description line is limited to 4000 characters, where the first 2 lines are the most important.
The iTunes App store lets you list a 100 character limited list of keywords; list those keywords with commas, do not repeat them, list them in singular version, list numbers (do not spell them), don't include stop words (in, on, at, the). Google Play store does not support a keywords list.
Ratings and Reviews
Ratings and reviews are an essential ranking factor. Apps with grate ratings and reviews tend to rank higher. It is therefore recommended to ask for users to review an app. However, negative reviews are more common than positive ones, so attention is required when choosing how and when to ask for a review. Tip: Ask the user for a review after a successful conversion and not in the middle of his "journey". There are several online services that can facilitate this process.
Ratings and reviews also play an important role in the decision making of a user when it comes to downloading an app or not. Users tend to read and trust the reviews a lot and they are more likely to choose to download an app that rates over 4 stars.
Additional Branding Tips
The application icon, represents the brand and probably the first thing a user will see. Choose an icon that will make the difference. Choose an authentic, professional and attractive icon that will attract users' attention and will cause a sense of trust. Finally, screenshots and videos are also important to the whole "performance" of the app. They need to be of a high quality and offer effective guiding as they can be used to story tell the functions of the application and promote its USPs.
Tip: Don' forget localization. If an app can support many languages then titles, descriptions, even screenshots must be translated. Give users the attention they deserve in order to get back theirs too.
Mobile A/B testing
Mobile A/B testing is a form of observation, discovery and improvement. Through the process of A/B testing, multiple ideas can be tested and as a final point A/B testing can boost ROI increase.
Google App Indexing
App Indexing is a truly compelling feature. By indexing an app in Google, the app gets to be served in Google's mobile search engine results, the so-called App Packs. With this process, users are able to find apps via search results and not merely via app store results. On a final note, app indexing is "a must do" for apps addressing the Android system, as it is a way to be included in one of the latest Google's trends, 'Now on tap'.
(Image Credits: developers.google.com)
Saving the best for last, it is important to understand that the application's use is to serve users' needs via an easy and exciting experience. Filing the gap between the needs and the experience by creating a fascinating application is the first step to succeed in the application world. Nevertheless, the ultimate goal of an application is not just to be downloaded, but to take root in the mobile devices.

Cell sorting
Cell sorting is the ability to separate cells according to their properties. These properties can be described as intracellular (inside the cell) or extracellular (outside the cell). Intracellular processes can include DNA, RNA and protein molecule interaction, whereas extracellular physical properties include size, shape (morphology), and surface protein expression.
The Importance of Cell Sorting[edit]
As cells are basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms, the ability to isolate and sort different cell types within organs and tissues has led to many established principles in medicine and physiology.
Methods of Cell Sorting[edit]
Currently there are several methods for cell sorting. Some are primitive and do not require special equipment whereas others rely on sophisticated electronic appliances. Three major types of cell sorting are fluorescent activated cell sorting, magnetic cell selection and single cell sorting.
Single Cell Sorting[edit]
Single cell sorting provides a method for sorting a heterogeneous mixture of cells based upon intracellular and extracellular properties. There are several methods for sorting single cells:
- The IsoRaft array provides a rapid, cost-effective method for isolating cells, analyzing cells over time, and generating clonal populations with the unique ability to monitor all intra- and extracellular properties.[1] This system is ideal for both adherent and non-adherent cell types.
- The DEPArray lab-on-a-chip technology platform is designed to individually identify, manipulate and sort specific cells within a heterogeneous population based on intra- and extracellular properties, not including morphology. The DEPArray cell-sorting and isolation technology, followed by NGS analysis, can reveal comprehensive genomic information from any FFPE sample, regardless of sample cellularity and size of the specimen. Moreover, the methodology informs a new model for conducting clinical biopsies of tumors, as well as for performing translational cancer research and the way new cancer drugs are developed and biomarkers discovered.[2]
Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting[edit]
Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting, or FACS, utilizes Flow cytometry to provide a fast, objective and quantitative measurement of intra- and extracellular properties, not including morphology, for sorting a heterogeneous mixture of cells.
Magnetic Cell Sorting[edit]
Magnetic cell sorting provides a method for enriching a heterogeneous mixture of cells based upon extracellular properties, typically cell-surface proteins (antigens). There are several types of magnetic cell sorting:
- Magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) is a column based separation technique where labeled cells are passed through a magnetic column.[3]
- SEP system provides a column-free cell separation technique in which a tube of labeled cells is placed inside a magnetic field.[4] Positively selected cells are retained in the tube while negatively selected cells are in the liquid suspension.

Today set up the studio a bit differently as I gather more goodies to use to photograph theses gorgeous babies.
I was also reminded today that the BABY is in charge.
LIttle Archie is only a week old and sleeps all day (except today).....we got a couple of cute shots, but despite a lot of care and support from mum and dad, Archie decided that he had enough today and so we will finish these later in the week....Here is a sample of what we got though.....Very cute baby.
