An aneurysm is an abnormal condition that is characterized by the bulge or swelling in a blood vessel wall. It usually develops in the shape of a tiny blood-filled grape at the point where a blood vessel branches. This small overgrowth can rupture by the force of pumping blood and may lead to death within minutes. Although an aneurysm can develop anywhere throughout the circulatory system, it particularly occurs in blood vessels of the brain and along the aorta.
There are numerous factors that may lead to the formation of aneurysms in the blood vessels. They include coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, weakening of blood vessels, age, physical trauma to head or chest, syphilis, infection, congenital aneurysm and polycystic kidney disease.
If left untreated, an aneurysm can lead to congestive heart failure, stroke, paralysis, kidney failure, heart attack, epilepsy, brain haemorrhage, impaired blood circulation, compression of nearby nerves and dissecting aneurysm.
Aneurysms can be diagnosed with physical examination, ultrasound, MRI and CT scans. Treatment options include stent insertion, blood pressure control, medication therapy and surgical repair of aneurysms.
Consumption of heart-healthy foods and a cardio-friendly supplement may help protect you against the risks of aneurysms and other heart conditions. Higher Nature Cardio is a popular brand on the market that contains heart nutrients to support a healthy heart and circulation. This supplement makes use of vitamins B-complex and E, antioxidants co-enzyme Q10, bromelain, arginine and tri-methyl glycine in its formulation. When combined with a regular cardio exercise routine and balanced diet, Higher Nature Cardio promotes healthy heart and arteries.

ALBANY If ever anyone needed motivation to run along the river, sans the scenic views, calming rushing water and the beautiful flora, it would be zombies.
The Flint RiverQuarium is sponsoring the city's first-ever Zombie River Run -- a fun and terrifying 5k frolic along the Riverwalk complete with volunteer zombies trying to snatch "life flags" from the runners as they pass by. The run is set for 1 p.m. on October 27.
"It's something new and different for Albany," RiverQuarium spokesperson Wendy Bellacomo said. "We saw that it was something that was pretty popular in other cities and we thought it was great way to get people downtown and have some fun."
The $25 fun-run entry fee will benefit the RiverQuarium and all participants will get free admittance into the downtown educational attraction, Bellacomo said. Prizes will be awarded to those who finish the run with their life flags still attached.
Those interested in running, should call the RiverQuarium at 229-639-2650 and give their information to Vicki Churchman, Bellacomo said.
The run will start on the Riverwalk trail behind the Albany Welcome Center on Front Street and proceed down the trail along the river.
It will make for a busy weekend for RiverQuarium staff who will also be hosting their annual tricks and treats event the night before at the RiverQuarium on Pine Avenue.

Instead, it was a collection full of rigid lines of black puffer leather jackets and angular coats accompanied by slicked-down hair. This same slick approach – a Versace signature - was echoed by the cinched-in waists and sleeveless vests to give an almost austere feel to the collection. In keeping with the week's mood for bright blue, Versace, too, gave us bolts of electric blue – as gloves, coats and suits. SEE THE VERSACE SHOW ARCHIVE SEE VERSACE'S VOGUE.COM ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE

In picking Lew, Obama turns a page at Treasury
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jack Lew, President Barack Obama's likely nominee for treasury secretary, is a premier federal budget expert who would take the helm of the government's main agency for economic and fiscal policy just as the administration girds itself for a new confrontation with congressional Republicans over the nation's debt and deficits.
Obama is expected to nominate Lew as early as Thursday, continuing to put a second-term imprint on his Cabinet by choosing yet another close ally for a key government post.
A year ago, almost to the day, Obama appointed Lew as his chief of staff, taking him from his perch as director of the Office of Management and Budget into the White House's tight inner circle.
In selecting Lew to replace Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Obama not only would be picking an insider steeped in budget matters but also a tough bargainer. Some Republicans complain that Lew has been unyielding in past fiscal negotiations.
If confirmed, Lew would assume the post in time for the administration to tangle anew with Republicans over a confluence of three looming fiscal deadlines — raising the $16.4 trillion federal borrowing limit, averting automatic spending cuts to defense and domestic programs, and renewing a congressional resolution that has been keeping the government operating. Those three events, if unresolved, would have a far greater negative effect on the economy than the "fiscal cliff" Obama and Congress avoided a week ago.
Lew, 57, has often been described as a "pragmatic liberal" who understands what it takes to make a deal even as he stands by his ideological views.
"He's a political guy. He didn't get where he is today by being a shrinking violet," said Paul Light, a public policy professor at New York University and an acquaintance of Lew's. "But he's really a doer. He's the kind of guy you want at the table if you want to get something done."
One senior Republican senator, Alabama's Jeff Sessions, voiced opposition to Lew. Though Lew may face a tough confirmation in the Senate, he's not likely to encounter the type of stiff opposition that is already mounting against former Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican whom Obama has tapped to be his defense secretary.
"We need a secretary of treasury that the American people, the Congress and the world will know is up to the task of getting America on the path to prosperity, not the path to decline," said Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee. "Jack Lew is not that man."
White House press secretary Jay Carney praised Lew during Wednesday's press briefing. "Over the past more than quarter of a century, Jack Lew has been an integral part of some of the most important budgetary, financial and fiscal agreements, bipartisan agreements in Washington," Carney said. Continued...
Lew's nomination is the fourth major personnel change in the administration since Obama's re-election. Obama tapped Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., for the State Department, Hagel to lead the Pentagon and White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan for the CIA's top job.
One prominent woman in Obama's Cabinet, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, resigned her post Wednesday. No successor has been named.
Lew was a top aide in the 1980s to House Speaker Tip O'Neill, a Massachusetts Democrat, playing a role in the Social Security deal between the speaker and President Ronald Reagan in 1983.
Before becoming Obama's chief of staff, Lew was director of the Office of Management and Budget, a post he also held back in the Clinton administration, serving from 1998 to early 2001. While running OMB during the Clinton administration, Lew helped negotiate a balanced budget agreement with Congress, something that has eluded Washington ever since.
When Obama named him chief of staff one year ago, the president praised him as the "only budget director in history to preside over budget surpluses for three consecutive years."
"His resume is tailor-made for what is most important right now," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial in Chicago. On Wall Street, Lew was managing director and chief operating officer of Citi Global Wealth Management and then Citi Alternative Investments. At the start of the Obama administration, he oversaw international economic issues at the State Department.
Despite his stint on Wall Street, Lew doesn't have the type of financial experience that Geithner brought to the job at the height of the financial crisis in 2009. Indeed, there's not as much of a premium on those skills now as the nation's attention has turned from bank bailouts to fiscal confrontations and brinkmanship.
Still, Lew will have to address other significant challenges, including completing implementation of the financial regulatory overhaul of 2010.
Lew will probably play a key role in deciding the fate of government-controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the federal housing agencies partly blamed for the collapse of the housing market.
Internationally, he will also be the administration's point man on issues related to China's integration into the global economy and Europe's sovereign debt and financial struggles. Continued...
For all that, Lew faces a better landscape than Geithner did when he stepped into the post at the start of Obama's first term.
"The basic financial position and economic position of the country is much stronger today that it was four years ago," said Michael Barr, who was assistant treasury secretary for financial institutions in 2009 and 2010. "That's a significant advantage for a treasury secretary coming in."

But with the next presidential debate just under two weeks away, will Obama's campaign alter their strategy to combat a potential bump for the Republican challenger?
"Obviously, moving forward we will take hard look at this and make judgments where to draw lines in debates and how to use our time," said Axelrod adding that Obama is "eager" for the next debate.
Ben Labolt, Obama campaign press secretary, added they will continue to focus on what they bill as the GOP nominee's perpetual "dance" around important issues.
Without missing a beat, Team Romney issued a counter-response to the Obama campaign's debate reaction, likening the Obama campaign conference call to the president's debate performance.
"The campaign, like the President, offered no defense of the President's first term record or vision for a second term, and instead, offered nothing but false attacks, petulant statements, and lies about Governor Romney's record," said Romney Campaign Spokesperson Amanda Henneberg.
President Obama campaigns Thursday in Denver and Madison, Wisconsin while Vice President Biden - who will gear up for his one and only faceoff with the opposing ticket in a vice presidential debate October 11 - stumps in Iowa.
Meanwhile, Romney and Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan are scheduled to campaign in Virginia. Romney also spoke Thursday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

you know Dee, i'm seriously thinking about having mr sound healer come that week before even though it's not a treatment week. i hate to 'waste' one but this is IMPORTANT!!!!
if you think it will help you feel better its no waste! besides, you'd be supporting the economy... right? double good!

Play For Ray - my dear friend Ray Jett was diagnosed with alzheimer's on his 50th b.day. Ray Jett had the hugest heart, had boundless energy, he was an amazing musician and played the bass like a mofo. he was able to live at home for a long time but has had to be in a nursing home with constant care for some years now. Ray owned our local head shop, currently called Alternative Silvermine, Sandi took over, and now her daughter runs it. it's an awesome shop and is across the road from where this event is happening, and they have another shop in lake george, and in key west i think still, too. Sandi's two daughters are also helping with the event, as are many other folks as well. Pete is a local originally, but now lives in key west and plays at sloppy joes. so if you ever go to key west, go see him play there as "pete 'n wayne". wayne is nice too.
here is the link for the event, there's a pic of Ray on the front page too
Play For Ray is held at a bar in downtown GF, a few miles from my house, called Sandy's Clam Bar. it's been around forever and had a wild reputation back in its early days. i found a fb page under https://www.facebook...100002138952562
the date for this year is weds, july 25th. while there are bands scheduled to play, it's basically a gigantic jam session and anyone who wants to bring an instrument and jam are MORE than welcome to. that's really really important to Pete that i put that out there. they loooove jamming!! there are people all over that stage, coming and going all night, so it's really open as far as that goes. there is also a silent auction.
one of the earliest bands made up of friends that we all used to go see play locally was called "crispy critters" and these nights are generally known now as "critter reunions". there's some huge hearts and talent in that band and they and all the following incarnations of bands that have spawned since then have brought us some great times over the decades. it's an early start because they want to make sure i can be there at least for a while and Crispy Critters plays first, and then Half Step. i believe some of you have seen Half Step play at harvest fest, if not elsewhere, we also have a boardie in that band (though i don't think he's posted recently) and they have camped in boardie camping too, so it's like they are already family!
not sure what else to post about if offhand…. if there are any questions i can try to answer them or go to the Play for Ray page and ask Sandi, too. Sandi also has a fb page for Ray, there's a couple pics of Pete on it right now. https://www.facebook...62#!/ray.jett.7
soooooo, i did it. thanks for reading, i love you.

V. The act of turning the water off on the toilet. flushing it, so there is no water in the bowl, and taking a dump. Then, in order to flush it, some one must kneel down by the pooh to turn the water on. She would let me stay over, so asked her to use the bathroom and gave her the dry dock!
1. | dry dock | ||
Turn the toilet off at the wall, then flushing all the water out of the systern. Then stick an entire industrial role of toilet paper into the dry poo-hole. Then take the biggest stinkiest poo you've ever done in your life, preferably riding the horse backwards and leave the poo just sitting there on the porcelain.
The next person to walk into the toilet is in for quite a shock, and then eventually when they do switch the water back on they're in clog town. Water floats to the top of the bowl, goes everywhere and the poo should float out to freedom. They charged bill $18 for two beers at the bar. He got his money's worth by dry docking the toilet.
2. | dry dock | ||
At someone else's house, you turn off the water supply to the toilet, then flush it. Now the toilet bowl is empty, no water in it. Now you take a dump, essentially leaving your turd welded to the inside of the toilet bowl. This is "dry docking". The bathroom now smells like an outhouse since the turd is fully exposed to the air. For added effect, bring a jar with a few flies, release them in the bathroom, thereby enhancing the outhouse "feel". "After I had sex with his wife, I dry docked one in his office bathroom."
3. | Dry Dock | ||
The act of shutting off the water supply to a friend or foe's toilet (the knob / valve behind the toilet close to the floor) and the flushing the toilet to empty the bowl of all water. At the point, you push out your steaming turd so that it sticks to the ceramic part of the bowl. It creates a giant mess to clean up. Make sure you are not seen leaving the bathroom as a beat-down might ensue if you are caught. A common double whammy is to also pull an upper tank or upper decker. This will create total havoc for the toilet & the person that owns it. Entire commodes have had to been ripped out and replaced because of the devestation this creates. Jeffrey was mad at his friend Ryan's father. So when he was visiting their home, he used their restroom and pulled a dry dock. He did not have enough dung left though to also pull a upper decker.
4. | Dry Dock | ||
Not having sex for longer than a month. I need sex, I've been on dry dock for too long.
5. | Dry Dock | ||
To turn off the water in somone's toilet, and than crap in it. Jordan Spiked My Beer with Exlax so I Dry Docked His Toilet
7. | dry dock | ||
The act of deficating on the bathroom floor just to the side of the toilet bowl. This is a practice commonly carried out as a prank by college aged party goers. Often times this involves the consumption of alchohol before hand as a relaxing agent. The culprits typically target large fraternity house parties. Man we threw a hell of a rager last night which pretty much went off without a hitch, aside from the fact that some pillow biter up and dry docked us mid evening.

Lol, so the medical research you are reading tells you that we are all inherently racist? Sounds like hack research to me. I have met numerous people in my life of variosu races that are simply not racist. They just are not. My real world experience tells me that they are not. That includes asians, arabs, whites, blacks, hispanics...
The notion that we are inherently racist is crap. Argue for it all you want but as you said you know I won't be convinced.
kennykyle: "Racism is an action, not a thought or opinion."
Silesian response: "Is that how it is defined on planet kennykyle?"
Onebrow response: "That's how it is used by people who stody the phenomenon."
Silesian response: "Then it should be very easy for you to provide 3 quotes from scholars of racism that state that racism is purely action, completely independent of thought or opinion.."
One Brow response: "Tell you what: when you show you have given this enough thought to accurately restate what I said, then I'll be happy to oblige."
So, I don't need to accurately restate what you said, Onebrow, I just need to copy and paste it. Or did you not give your post that agreed with kennykyle's definition enough thought? Now, will you oblige, or are you going to find another excuse?
^^^ While I disagree with many of One Brows stances I see him as an intelligent, honest person. I'm not fond of your overly aggressive tone.
Racism is pejorative. I have difficulty believing you can prove otherwise.
What One Brow seems to be confusing is the definitions of bias and racism. They are not the same thing.
Racism itself is not culturally based. Perpetuation of racism does occur if the culture accepts that viewpoint, but racism itself is not culture. Culture is way too complicated to be narrowed into one viewpoint.
Racism is irrational. I've said this before. Bias based in fact is not racism.

I can appreciate you have some picture in your head of a "racist", a hood-wearing, cross-burning extremist that is nothing like you or your friends. To you, that's the basis of racism. In your position of priviledge, not seeing other bases of racism has no ill effects. Others, in a different position, are required to see more or suffer the consequences of their blindness.
I thought I had already addressed the relevant contents of the rest of your post when responding to others. I certainly don't you to feel overlooked or unvalued; your posts are as interesting and as worthy of a response as just about any other poster.
I don't see how arguing fluff makes you sound intelligent. I don't think you can win arguments on the internet, for the most part.
As I have pointed out, think of racism as a property of individuals, as someone that a single person holds to, is one of the coping mechanisms/rationalizations we use to avoid addressing the uses we make of the stereotypes and cognitive shortcuts that are the true foundation of racism. It's a means rto otherize an internal problem. There is no such thing as "just one racist"; I have become convinced that even referring to a person as "a racist" is undescriptive and counter-productive. People can hold prejudices for good or ill; racism requires the system.
Further, you can indeed have racism without people who conciously hold racist opinions. When a police officer interprets the behavior of a light-skinned person as no suspicious, and the same movements in a dark-skinned person as suspicious, that is racism, but almost never in this day and age is it concious racism. When a prosecutor determines the crime by a light-skinned person is a misdemeanor, and the same crime by a dark-skinned person is a felony, that is racism, but almost never in this day and age is it concious racism. When employers hire black with no criminal record at about the same rate as whites with a criminal record, that is racism, but almost never in this day and age is it concious racism. Racism has its own version of inertia, as we pass our cultural shortcuts and assumptions on from one generation to the next.
1) Nothing said by kennykyle, nor by myself, indicated that racism was "purely" action. You added that adjective.
2) When I pointed out that yuou had not read me correctly, you chose to double down on your mis-reading, rather than consider you might have misunderstood something.
3) You seem to think a simple restatement of a conversation you have misunderstood will convince people you did not misunderstand. It does not.
I have no interest in defending men of straw. When I see some sign that you care enough about the discussion to interpret me correctly, or ask for clarification, then I will probably go through the effort of linking to a few people.
Thank you.
If I have misunderstood what you picture as "a racist", or missed some ill effects that overlooking racism would have in your life, I apologize for my presumption. I would greatly appreciate a more detailed correction. What is the basis of racism, to you, and what ill effects do you think you would suffer from not seeing racism?
The first sentence may be true, could you elucidate? I agree with the second.
I agree that there is far more to culture than the perpetuation of racism, but I don't think that is a sufficient reason to say racism is not culturally based. What do you consider the basis of racism that is separate from culture?
I agree with your third paragraph entirely.
To start with, racism is racism. The only thing that truly varies is the degree to which it may be praticed. You indicate that I only see racism as sever cases. Not true. It can be as simple as someone reffering to a racial group by using racial slurs. They do not have to actively oppose that group. It can be much more subtle than that.
The reason I disagree with your "we are all racists" stance is that my generation and especially the generations that follow mine are much more racial mixed and exposed. There are many more interacial families with racial mixed off spring. People have more and more friends from all walks of life.
My best friend happens to be arabic. I was married to a hispanic woman. My best friend in high school was a black kid. To me they are just them. Not my "black friend". Just my friend. No difference.
That is rapidly becoming more prevelant. Granted there is a long, hard road to go before things truly get better but it is happening.
I base my stance on my lifes experiences. This is what I know to be true by seeing it and a very hands on knowledge. I have been shot at because I am white. No other reason. White guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. No other reason. I have been assaulted over my religion. No other reason. This was over a 7 year period so it was not a weekend or anything that quick. I've had the shoe on the other foot. Where I am the drastic minority. Where I look physically different than almost anyone else. I have been denied entrance to clubs and groups. So yes I know how both sides feel.
I stand here proudly and reject your notion that every member of mankind is racist. Why? because I know those that are not. I hope to be as good as them.
Racism, or irrational bias based on one particular phenotype that doesn't actually exist biologically, is based in biology. Humans are biologically inclined to trust, like, and associate with those most similar to them. Culture actually breaks humans from that bias, or it can help perpetuate it. Culture is not the root of racism.

Onebrow, I can only comment on what you said, which is that people who study racism believe it to be an action, not a thought or opinion. I gave you several examples of people who study racism that indicates this to be untrue. Since we are both stuck to your convictions here, so not much sense of continuing the discussion.

At the docks of the island, several flagless ships, large to small, sit with a guard or two trying to entertain themselves. Just past the docks is the shore; a small wall keeps the ocean and the city apart. Standing on the wall and looking into the water, the bottom shines with coins, hundreds of coins. This is Las Grand Isle, where gambling and relaxation go hand and hand, where even the water seems to offer up treasure to play the games. Several large hotels, and many small motels, line the straight roads of the town, leading up the mountainside town. Farther back, in the more shady part of town, is the red light district, the bars and pubs, and even the betting rings for the most well known game to pirates, The Davy Back Fights. Here, at the top of the city, hidden behind the lavish hotels and casinos, is a pirate haven. Most of the fights are officiated at the same shore by the docks, where the water catches the coins and holds them for Davy Jones. There are rings, several rings for the competitions, as well as huge stands and even pirate hotels, which stand over the rings and allows people to watch the fights and bet on the crew they think will win. This island has been left alone by the Marines for one reason and one reason alone, a percentage of the profits from the casinos and the Davy Back betting rings.
Hey! Waiter! All my berries on the Orange Pirate Crew, at the groggy ring! Joseph Lord Turtle White (L.T. for short) yelled, two girls sitting at his sides smiled and one said, Thanks for listening to me Ossan, I really think they will win this game. L.T. sighed and lowered his head. Im telling you, all I need is a good shave, and I swear I look better with a shave. Stop calling him Ossan, he is obviously a handsome young man with a lot of berries. The other one said, getting comfortable, her hand rubbing his chest. Thats right! L.T. said, and then let out a powerful laugh. His shield was currently being used as a chair for the three, and L.T. was sitting in the center, his arms wrapped around the waists of the girls, one bringing him a glass of rum. You know how to treat a man! He said, taking the glass and downing the rum easily. And you know what women want Ossan. The first girl said, holding a few berries. L.T.s head once more dropped. She just doesnt listen, does she
? He said under his breath. There was cheering from the crowd below him, and L.T. looked down over the side of the balcony seat he was in to see how the game was progressing.
Two of the three Orange Pirates where running towards the ball man of their opponents, the Windmill Pirates. Just as they where close to getting their target, both men where knocked by back a single man, sending both pirates flying across the field and into the wood of the stands. L.T. cringed, and let out a sigh, leaning back and putting his hand over his eyes. I knew I should have went with the Windmill Pirates, but that face
that body
that stupid woman charm
I was weak. L.T. said, slumping down into his chair. The sound of a whistle rang through the air, and over the speakers L.T. heard, And the Windmill Pirates score! The game is over! Collect your bets now! Sir, if you do not have any more berries, then Im going to have to ask you to leave. The Waiter said, walking up to L.T.s shield/chair. Sorry Ossan
come back again. Later No-money Ossan. The girls said, and L.T. lifted his shield easy and was escorted out of the high-class pirate casino/hotel.
A drunken pirate walked along the street and bumped into L.T., the pirate getting angry and drawing a blade. Hey
Watch it old man, or Ill gut you where you stand. L.T. turned towards the man, dropping his shell shield, the stones beneath his shield shattering like glass. Fine young man try it, I dare you, unless you are a coward. L.T. said, standing a little hunched over, both arms open and hanging in front of him. The drunk moved forward, bring the sword down onto L.T.s shoulder, the blade hitting a layer of scales. L.T. lifted one hand, his entire arm covered in scales and his fingers even where clawed, and grabbed the blade. W-What
What are you old man? The Drunk asked, trying to pull away. Right now, Im a pissed-off, broke man who ate the Kame Kame fruit. L.T. said, lifting his head, his face scaly as well, his eyes like that of a beast. The drunk kept trying to pull back his blade, staring in horror at the man in front of him. L.T. snapped the sword in half, grabbed the man by his throat, and then threw him into the side of the casino/hotel, the man leaving an imprint in the wall. Be grateful that I went easy on you, ungrateful pirate.
I was so close too
2,000,000 Berries could have been mine, but I had to listen to the girl
I was going to get a hotel room, a nice shave
and maybe some cake and ice cream L.T. said, slipping on the shell shield and then walking down to one of the cheaper pubs, a few coins jingling in his pocket. Maybe I can buy a water and a day old piece of bread with this
He said, and with a sigh and then a laugh, he continued on his way to the pub known as the Final Stop Pub. Walking in, he took a seat, and thought of another way of making money, maybe even getting a crew and a ship and leave this money-stealing town. A good pirate crew, one that I know I could use to win a ship from a stupid group of pirates, and then Reverse Mountain, Ill be riding you back to the Grand line. L.T. said out loud, liking the sound of his plan, Maybe a crew good enough to help me find more info on devil fruit users and find more uneaten devil fruit, the three I have wont do me any good. He leaned forward, took off his shield, and slammed his hand onto the table. Im looking for people to join my crew on my journey of the Grand Line, any takers? I promise, it will be worth every minute of it. L.T. said, a big smile on his face.
A young woman sat perched on a stool in a small corner of the Final Stop Pub, eyes closed as she sang a song, her clear voice full of sorrow, accompanied only by the mournful notes mandolin she played. Finishing the song, she was rewarded with compliments, followed by calls for a more lively tune. Lifting her head and smiling, she plucked the strings, strumming out a lively tune, singing a song about the misadventures of a pirate who found to much treasure to safely carry home. Before she could finish the song, there was interruption. The man that had just slammed his hand loudly onto the table, spoke loudly.
"I'm looking for people to join my crew on my journey of the Grand Line, any takers? I promise, it will be worth every minute of it." he said, grinning.
An interesting man to be sure, the young woman thought to herself. After finishing the interrupted song, she offered an apology to those still listening, and walked to where the table where he sat. Sliding into the chair opposite him she smiled as she gently placed her instrument on her lap. "Mariella Gallo at your service, I believe we have some business to discuss, but not on an empty stomach." She said, snapping her fingers to draw the attention of one of the pub's staff. "Bread, the freshest you have, two bowls of todays stew, a nice bottle of red, and whatever this man wants to drink." She said clearly, gesturing for the man across the table to add to the order.
L.T. stared at Mariella in disbelief, but then leaned back and smiled. "Just give me a pint of rum, any kind." L.T. said. He turned back towards Mariella and he smiled and said, "Mariella Gallo... a brave woman you are, and from what I could hear, a wonderful musician." L.T. stopped speaking for a moment when the food arrived, took a bite of bread and a small sip of soup, and then looked back at Mariella. "I take it you want to join my crew... well, I have no objections... a beautyful woman with musical skills, just what every good pirate crew needs." L.T. said, taking a drink of rum. "Just one question, why do you want to join my crew?" He asked, setting his drink down and looking at Mariella.
Mariella had been expecting the question, she had asked herself similar questions before. "I search for immortality, though not the same kind as most people, I do not seek power or riches, but a muse. I wish to leave a song as my legacy, in this great age the exploits of pirates have captured the minds of many." She smiled and took a sip from her wine before continuing. "As for your crew specifically? I do not know you, nor do I know most of the pirates here, and famous pirates tend to have crew already, so as far as I am concerned any crew heading to the Grand Line will do. You are simply the first to walk into a room and ask, so I will join you, unless of course you wish to suggest another captain for me to follow?" Mariella said before taking a chunk of bread and dipping it in the stew.
Seeing this man smile as he announced that he was looking for a crew made Elena actually think. Maybe it was time to leave this place. It was his smile that made her think about it proberly longer than anyone elses drunken offers in this place, most just get the wrong idea and are soon back her begging for repairs which they can't afford or never come back at all except in the news as captured and excuted by the Marines. Walking over to his table she saw the singer sitting there talking, inviting yourself to a pirates table was never a good idea but when it involed payment it was worse so it couldn't be that bad. As she got to the table El pulled out a chair and sat.
"So with that smile you must of thought of something good? But what I want to know is, do you have a boat?"
L.T. dropped his head when he heard Mariella's comment. Famous pirates... he was one, but he had no crew... and what she said hit a sore spot. "No! No your fine to join my crew, I believe that you will be a good addition to my crew. Come! Sit back here with me and try to look a little imtimidating for when other people come over." L.T. motioned to the seat next to him and he then took another sip of soup.
L.T. looked over at El and with another smile he said, "I have a great plan, and I do have a boat... but my plan will get us a better boat." L.T. leaned forward and said, "I take it that you might want to join my crew, so if you want to hear my plan, then come over here and take a seat." L.T. stopped, and then looked at El and asked, "Two questions, what is your name, and do you have a skill?"
Sipping her wine and smiling slightly, Mariella moved to the offer seat, leaning back and once more placing her precious instrument on her lap. She watched the exchange between the captain and the new arrival intently.
El stared back at the captin. She moved the ring round on here finger so the stone was on the inside just incase this was a bad idea.
"My name is Elena Xioe but you might be able to call me El if I like you and I'm the one thats going to keep your boat on the top of the water and not trying to sail along the bottom. Now what is your name?"
Kaze was standing at the center of the groggy ring with the ball hat on is head. The narrator announced the beginning of the fight and immediately two of his opponents started to run towards him, the ball man stayed behind. Kaze looked around at his allies, weaklings he thought to himself cant expect much help from them. Kaze pulled out his great battle fan jishin no kaze, the blades at the end were removed because they counted as weapons, And as his opponents came closer he opened with a quick shake of his hand and as he made a great swing with it he whispered kaze no hishou (winds of filght). The giant fan created a gust of wind that tore some pieces of the ground and sent his opponents flying through the air untill they hit the wooden stands of the areana. Kaze then closed his fan and headed towards the exit leting his allies finish the match.
When he was near the exist he head the narrator say And the Windmill Pirates score! The game is over! Collect your bets now!. The captian then came in the areana to make his choise of nakama to take and as he passed near near Kaze he said Grat job Kaze, and Kaze replied Im quiting. The captian stoped in place turned around
why?, youv been with us for only two hours? he asked
your boering, and weak replied Kaze,
an eerie silence was created betwin the two and after a minute or so, Kaze went to the exit.
HAY shouted the captain in rage, where do you think your going?
a bar he simply said and left the areana.

Hayato was still winning in the drinking contests and was winning many beri for it. when he heard the old man's offer he could not refuse. ''Oi old man!'' Shouted Hayato holding a bottle of rum in one hand walking over to LT. ''You need a crew? Well I'm in.'' he said with a grin.
Reselien slowly walked over to the table with the captain and musician. A small black folder seemed to be under his arm as he approached. He stopped just before their table and standing tall he says, "So who is paying for this? Surely you, sir, are?" He places the bill in front of L.T. and brushes the hair out of his eyes.
Addressing Mariella, Rez says, "Hey, your singing is quite beautiful. It was a wonder upon the ears to listen to. It was a lot better listening to you than the ruckaus ususally heard. It is my pleasure to serve you. Although I wish they would let me cook. That stew would have been made twice as delicious if I had been the one making it. You may not be able to tell the difference, but if you ever have one of my creations you will never hold food to the same standards again." He brushes the hair out of his eyes again and it almost immiediatly falls back.
He smiled and made a glance over at L.T. to see if he had any money for him yet and when he didn't he looked back at Mariella and said, "So what is the name of the lovely musician before me? Oh how rude of me, let me introduce myself. I am Reselien, but you can call me Rez. I heard you were joining this captain's crew eh? Speaking of which..."
He turns to face the captain brushing the hair out of his eyes, "So... gathering a crew huh? Well I might be interested, I might not be. What is it exactly that you are trying to accomplish as a pirate? What is your goal?" He begins tapping his finger on the bill as well waiting for payment.

"Rez stick it on my tab and as soon as I've got that tub that the lastest bunch brought in call a ship fixed then you'll get your money no probs. Or even better you can put it on their tabs" El looked up at Rez "Oh come off it surely you of all people are not seriously thinking about this?"
Turning back to the captin' El asks "So this boat of yours where you got it docked?"
Hayato took a seat at the table taking a drink from his bottle wondering what the old man would say. Soon he had run out of rum. He shouted to Rez ''Hey waiter I need some more rum!'' relaxing in his seat. ''Hey where is your ship?'' he asked LT.

L.T. listened to El, and with a laugh he said, "I like you, and a carpenter to boot, the name is Joseph White, but I'm known mostly as Lord Turtle, L.T. for short." L.T. looked at the new man with the rum in hand and with a growl he dropped his head. "Yes... a crew, I'm looking for a god crew, but don't call me old... I have aged more than the rest of you, but a good shave and you wouldn't even be able to tell." L.T. said, regaining his composure. "I'll let you join my crew just fine, but if you call me old man again.. I cant be responcable for what happens to you, even if it is my fault." He added leaning back against the bench.
"My goal, it might not be as interesting as some of the newer up and comings, but it is interesting all the same. My personal goal, my young friends, is to collect the data on every devil fruit known, and collect those which haven't been eaten yet. My goal with a crew, is to travel every route on the Grand Line, no matter how dangerious the paths may be, and to get all the treasure and valuable items we can." L.T. said, smiling as he thought of his plans. "I have it docked on the north side of the island, in the main dock, the second pier to the east, third docking station... it really is just a small boat, maybe room for three in the cabin, but I always lock the door to the cabin, cant let my treasures be stolen." He said, looking up to think.
"Now if you would excuse me I have some money to collect and a ship to look at before the night is out."
Saying this to L.T. El got up and went to leave the Final Stop, she stoped at the door and shouted to Rez
"Rez I'll be back later to settle up my tab I'm just going to get paid"
El left and started heading towards the North docks. Maybe this was a bad idea, I mean I've got a good thing going here, plenty of ships to fix, plenty or money to make and with all of those Davy fights no reason to get bored. But then when you see this every day its gets to you. Oh well far too late now to worry about it
El reached the North Docks and found the Red Star and the crew left behind to guard her. Shouting to one of them she asked "Oi which one of you lot has my payment?" This was always the worst part getting payment out of pirates. It was the captin who appeared over the side but whether that was a good thing or not is still to be decided.
"I've got it now if you want it come and get it" The captin shouted down. El thought about this, that line always ment trouble in one way or another, she checked her hammer and dagger were in place and turned here ring to face into her palm so the stone wouldn't show. Once ready she climbed up and onto the deck.
''Alright captain'' Hayato said with a smile. ''Here's some of the money I got from this town.'' said Hayato putting the beri on the table. ''that's a start at least'' said Hayato with a smile on his face ''But what are gonna do with the ship? You know that little ship will never get past reverse mountain. We both know we need a better boat.'' said Hayato.

L.T. watched as El left, and with a sigh he said, "I really hope she comes back... she was very good looking... and we need a good shipwright..." L.T. turned back to Hayato, and with a smile he said, "I know that we need a bigger, better boat, and I know where to find one." He stood up, and then took out a pair of blueprints. "I got these from a pirate who was once part of a group of pirates known as the Windmill pirates. They have two ships, one is a great flagship, and the other is a small, five room boat which they won recently from a small pirate crew, known as the Orange pirates."
L.T. pointed to the blueprints and said, "This ship is a new model, still in great shape, and it would be a perfect ship to sail the Gran Line. We could very well steal it, and then set sail, or we could try to win it in a Davy Back fight." L.T. sat back, and then looked at the others who where with him. "It has a well stocked kitchen with a decent stove, fridge, and sink, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower, and from what I can tell, an area with a soft 3/4 circle bench with an umbrella on the deck... it seems perfect."
L.T. then sighed and said, "But this is just a plan, and I can only do it with help from my crew, so, do you want to follow my plans or do you want to try something different?"

''I'm with you'' said Hayato. ''What about you?'' he asked Mariella. ''Are you in?''
The soft pitpat of her botted feet against the griound was all that could be heard of the woman who was quickly running down a dark alley, using it as a shortcut to the docks. Her earings dangled from her ears, swaying slightly, as her identity hiding cloak flowed behind her making her pull it together with one of her arms, so that it wouldn't open and reveal her. Her hood was where her other hand was occupied as she made sure it wouldnt fly off of her head, which would reveal more secrets, then her body would. Her hidden eyes widened beneath the ebony hood as she slowly came to a stop. Her mouth opened slightly at the size and grandeur of the ship docked. She smirked, and thought about the money she could make off of this thing, not sure whether she was panting from excittment or due to the fact that that she was running prior to her thoughts.
She resumed running, after her fantasies of money ended. She sped up as she got closer to the ship, and stopped in front of it looking up.
She didnt see a ladder, which meant either they haddnt come down yet, or had carelessly left it here. She reached inside a pocket in her cloak and pulled out what looked like a grappling hook atached to a gun. She aimed above her head, at the railing of the boat and pressed a button, the hook wrapping around the railing. She pulled the string, making sure it was secure, and pressed the same button, it lifting her to the railing. She pulled her self up, and put away the gadget.
She slowly and silently, walked to one of the doors, opening it and revealing a lightly furnished room. She yawned, stretching her arms above her head, and decided that before taking off, she would take a nap. She pounced on the bed, letting her hood fall, revealing her unusual features. She closed her unusual crimson eyes and crossed her arms behind her head. Her bushy fox tail, crept out from behind her cloak resting on the bed beside her. Her black hair was sprawled out to the side of her bed, revealing her naural two crimson highlights on her right side. Her left knee was raised, and her right leg crossed over it, reveling the bottom of a pair of black leather pants. She yawned once more, revealing her fangs, and lulled to sleep, soft snoring filling the room.
The soft snoring of the infamous spy, Kiara, the crimson fox.
Looking at Hayato, and taking another sip of wine before speaking. "I am happy to, but I will be little use if it turns into a fight. Just make sure you aren't relying on me in anything too physical. I put my fate in your hands, if you lose me to a crew that is not going to the Grand Line though, I will be most displeased." She said, the last part with a smile directed at L.T. Sliding gracefully from the chair she, bowed her head slightly to the captain. "Now if you will excuse me, I have to settle my bills and gather my things, it should take me no more than twenty minutes. When and where shall we meet captain?" She asked.
L.T. looked up at Mariella, smiled, and with a few seconds, he nodded and said, "We shall meet outside of my current "ship", if it could be called that, you remember where I said it was right, so then meet me there." L.T. stood up, hefted the shield onto his back and then started for the door. "Hey, cook who didn't cook, you remember where I said it was to, right, just incase you decided to jon us?" L.T. asked, not looking over his shoulder, moving out of the door while motioning for Hayato to follow. "Hayato, was it, you are skilled right, skilled enough to be good in a fight?" L.T. asked, taking out two coins, and then tossing them into the air. "If the crew decides to go the Davy Back route, then we shall play two games. The first one for the ship, and the second for their flag. The first game I'm not sure about, but the second, I'm thinking a duel between captains, it will be a good exersise if the captain is strong, and a chance for my crew to see how strong their new captain is."
''Yeah I'm strong.'' said Hayato. ''two more strong members and we could do a groggy ring.'' he said with thought.
Kaze finished his drink and out his glass on the table, he listened to the conversation of the turtel man with intrest. A man talking about the Grand line with such ease is allways interesting, and he seemes strong and he want's to start his crew, all of this made Kaze think, 'do I want to join this guy's crew?'. Then he heared the man talk about the ship. Kaze ordered another drink and listened to the rest of the conversation, 'so he want's the ship I won for the windmill's', Kaze thought to himself. 'I need to test the captian before I decide to go to the Grand line with him. '. Then the turtel man got up and left the bar after saying somthing about a Davy back fight. 'Mabye I was too rash in leaving those piarets, but I'm sure they'll take me back for another Davy fight'. Kaze down his drink, left money on the table, and left the bar. "Time to make some preperations" he said to himself.
Outside Kaze saw the turtle man walking off somewhere, he didn't care, he knew he'll meet him at the Davy fight.
Kaze went to the old Windmills pirates ship thinking the grup eill br there, he was right, the crew were all drinking on the drck, celebrating Kaze's victory in the recent fight as there own. Kaze jumped on the ship and the party voices went silent, he went straight to the captian and said "I want to rejoin your crew". Everyone in the crew droped there mouth to the deck in suprise. Seeing as his not going to get a reply Kaze sighen and continued
"Your going to have a fight with a strong opponent"
"why do you care now?" asked the captian
"his interesting"
"so? why do you want to come back to our crew"
"I want ot test him"
"how do you even know his going to challenge us?"
"I heared him"
"so your going to join just fo this fight?"
"ok i'll agree to it"
"good" After saying this Kaze stopped to think, 'I need to be sure I'll fight the turtle guy, even if the others lose there fight'
"I need to insure I'll fight with him" he said
"so?" asked the captian
"He want's to have a captian duel, so I need to be the captian for this battle" 'this way he won't choose me because it's agiast pirates morals' Kaze thought
"No way am I agreeing to that, I'm the captian and founder of the Windmill pi~eeeeeee" The captian shirked as Kaze put his Fan's blade's on both sides of his neck like a pair of scissors.
"it's just for the fight, and it doesn't look you have have much choice"said Kaze with an evil grin on his face.
"ok ok ok" said the captian in a high pitched voice. "good" said Kaze and put his fan back on his back and walked inside the ship. he searched inside untill he found the captian's room, he went inside and lied on the bed
"I can realx abit now" he said to himself.

In reply to LT, Rez merely sighed and said, "I like the stocked kitchen thing, but I'll think about it, I'm not just going to join any crew. I've already gone through a hundred captains or so all claiming that they are the greatest or something. Just wait." He brushed his hair out of his eyes.
Rez shook his head a little as the strange group parted for each own's reasons. "Jeeze could they be any weirder? We'll just have to see if they are worth my time." He cleaned off the table and quickly finished up his current tables.
"Boss I'm outta here for a bit." And left the pub and began looking for the ship LT spoke of. He took his time and contemplated the prospect of joining the turtle man.
'Well, he is different, that's for sure. To go about in search for more cursed fruit and to catalog them, and probably sell too. Is it worth it? Is it something that I would want to go out on the grand line to risk my life for? Who knows... I'll wait to see how these guys handle getting that other ship, though. Hmmm... I wonder if cursed fruit taste good when cooked...'
-Windmill Pirate's FlagShip-
"Damn boy, thinking he can just order us around... after this Davy Back Fight, I think that fan wielding boy will have an accedent, one that will cost him his life." The Captain said, a small windmill on his back rotating slowly, the shine of metal could be seen on the edges.
-Lord Turtle's "ship"-
"I suppose if the people are strong enough, we could do a Groggy Ring challenge first." L.T. said, walking onto the boat. He moved to the cabin's door, and with a strong push, the door slid back, the large stone that was blocking the door could now be seen. Inside the room was a desk, a hammock, ten treasure chests, and a small treasure box, resting on the desk.
"This is where I have been staying, the lastest tub in my trip. Those chests are filled with rare items from my first trip on the Grand Line, and I only made it half way." L.T. said, getting into the hammock, his shell on the ground a few feet away. "I have a few dials, a few rare jewels, a master grade sword or two, and in the treasure box I have three devil fruit. I would estemate that this total, would be worth 500,000,000 berries, but some things are worth more if you keep them for when you need to use them."
L.T. looked over at Hayato and said, "You seem confedent of your strength, why is that?"

California College Pathways Annual Report
Jan 31, 2009
California College Pathways is a partnership of the California State University Office of the Chancellor, the California Community College System Office and the John Burton Foundation. It is funded by the Stuart Foundation and the Walter S. Johnson Foundation. The goal of the California College Pathways is to increase the number of foster youth in California who pursue higher education and help them achieve a positive academic outcome by expanding access to campus support programs, such as the Guardian Scholars Program, the Renaissance Scholars Program and other successful approaches to supporting former foster youth on campus.
To achieve this goal, the project pursues four strategies:
• Information Sharing: This includes collecting and disseminating information about available campus support programs in California and nationally, together with information about the latest research, legislation and policy developments.
• Technical Assistance and Training: This includes providing hands-on technical assistance and training for both emerging and established campus support programs through the development of publications and regional trainings.
• Policy Analysis and Development: This includes analyzing the barriers that prevent foster youth from entering higher education and developing practical, politically feasible policy solutions to remove those barriers.
• Coalition Building and Advocacy: This includes building a well-organized coalition of students, campus administrators, nonprofit professionals and public officials to advocate for policy changes which promote academic achievement among former foster youth.

Drivers who value an aerodynamic vehicular body over all else will want to utilize Auto Tuning Pro spoilers to their full extent. Also known as air dams, a Auto Tuning Pro rear spoilers can help to eliminate exterior airflow problems that can work to slow a car down. Though highly popular among racecar drivers and other performance vehicle users, they can be adapted for use even in more conventional cars for greater efficiency. After all, the less energy your car has to expend working against the air, the less you have to spend on gas, stress out your car's engine, etc.

Life Balance
When you're doing something you love, it makes everything else blurry. I go thru a trans running thru all the red lights. I may have hurt people, knocked over objects, and burst thru things because once I'm in my zone, it's almost as if the turn off switch is broken. I'm talking about my passion for music. I don't know when to stop. Learning how to balance my life between music and family is a working process. I'm not as bad as I use to but I'm healing slowly.
Other artist or producers handle their issue thru controlled substance. I have strong support of my family that keeps me away from that lifestyle. I'm not a junky, I just have Soundiedis problem, lol.
I try so very hard to find my own sound to be received as different and fresh. I want to revisit the days of the Beatles with out the sad stories or the Temptations when life was happy and love was pure. Great harmony like Boys II Men and Mint Condition is what I chase after. My soul gets excited when people like the great Quincy Jones or Ryan Leslie are mentioned.
Ok I'm in my zone again, but that's where I am in life. It's time out for this 5 min old and sad thoughtless ideas. Real music will be reborn when you hear about Ksoundd.
Take your time and do it right. A quick fix is what usually take you out quicker. Real music is well thought out ideas that lasta life time.
Thanks for reading

Empower Change with Tech, Values and Balls
I'm a 23-year-old entrepreneur-minded euro/green/geek citizen exploring new technologies and the emerging social context to empower change.
I have thus a particular focus on P2P-Economy, Open & Hack logics (open source/design/data, DIY...) and their iteration in Impact Entrepreneurship processes.
I already tried to launch my own venture on sharing-economy: BookSurfing, the P2P system for physical books between neighbours, friends and communities. The project is today in stand-by but I'll be back on that one day ;)
I'm currently finishing my studies, a Master in management, in Bavaria (Ingolstadt). I will thus be busy writing a master thesis for the next 6 months, on a particularly exciting subject (from my point of view):
"Rethink Ethical Marketing after the critics of Bernard Stiegler and its implementation in the emerging technological and sociological context"
I want to show that sustainable development, as we know it today, largely forget the psychological impact of the economic activity on both workers and consumers (cf Stiegler) and that, in the emerging technological, economical and sociological context, with the disruptive innovations to come (such as a complex information system empowering the indiviual in his daily life, enabling him to apply systematically and painlessly his convictions on environmental, social or even political aspects), this vision of what is a responsible marketing might accelerate the transition from production-growth focused marketing by any mean to project, impact and meaning-led marketing.
(I'm just at the begining of this work, excuse me if it looks messy for the moment ;) )
I consider this work as a environment-study for my next project, namely this complex information system, for which I will start to actively look for tech and design talents in the coming months. Indeed, if think that the day we will be able to easily choose the valuable alternative to what might look today to be our only few buying choices, we -as citizen- will be able to be daily activists for the causes we defend: I want to consume local and healthy, I want to help creative peoples grow their activity, I want Monsanto-style toxic business-models to disappear and Facebook & Co. to respect our rights and interests... All those issues are matters of information and, unfortunately might neither be solved by actions such as Anonymous DDoS or Avaaz campaigns: the true lever is money. If we can easily choose the best alternative and share our best practices in a opensource, decentralized and thus independant and resilient way, we might drastically accelerate the creative destruction to make the economic activity fit the sustainable society to come.
I'm also a proud OuiShare member, the growing trans-national (but europe-centered) sharing-economy community.
Last but not least, I'm fond of pizza

Yes, I am making two. Thank you , Heyhey, for answering for me. I am a bit overwhelmed with all that has happened since last Friday but am surviving. For those of you who did not "hear", my mother's cancer has returned and it's terminal. They have given her 3 months to live. I am visiting with her right now. My daughter and granddaughter are flying in tonight for a visit. I will be here for two weeks, back home to Alabama for a short rest then back to Kentucky for two more weeks.
