They are unscrupulous, take advantage of people like me, and while my Bank has been sympathetic, they told me that to resolve the debit I have to go through many, many steps. I feel like an idiot, and would like to help people in my situation as well as make myself whole.

Apparently they're saying that God sent the shooter to shoot all these children in revenge because the state had legalized gay marriage.

luckily, the petition to get the Gov't to recognize them as a hate group (putting them in the same type of group as the KKK) has gotten about 8 times the required number of signatures to be considered, so hopefully the church will soon have the right to be associated with religion stripped from them

Modeling the effect of social factors on improving biodiversity protection
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of social factors (expressed as social and institutional trust social norms, and social networks) on the decision of individuals to pay for improvement of environmental protection of biodiversity. For this purpose an empirical study was carried out in two National Parks of Northern Greece. Three scenarios were proposed differing in the management options (regulatory, market-based and community-based scenarios) and the payment mechanism. Our empirical results show that social capital variables, especially social norms and social trust, have a strong influence both on the decision of individuals to pay and the specific amount stated. Specifically, we find that social norms have a positive influence for the willingness to pay (WTP) of individuals of a state-tax and an entrance fee (regulatory and market-based scenario respectively). Furthermore, social trust has a positive impact for the WTP through an entrance fee and a community tax (market-based and community-based scenario respectively). We also find a higher WTP of individuals towards the market based scenario where participation of citizens is higher compared to the current management status. Concerning the impact of demographic factors, we find that income does not influence the specific amount stated by individuals.

A nuclear engineer, Hanson serves as the executive vice president, technologies and used-fuel management at AREVA NC and director of the AREVA-subsidiary, Transnuclear. His specialty is in used fuel management, treatment, and transportation. Hanson began his career in 1975 with the nuclear services division of the Massachusetts-based Yankee Atomic Electric Company. In 1979, he joined the International Atomic Energy Agency, where he served as coordinator of the international spent fuel management program and later, as a policy analyst covering nuclear safeguards and nonproliferation.
It's a new day with a new administration, and the conventional wisdom is that the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), being a Bush administration initiative, is dead. Well, maybe! While some people changed roles on January 20 and there will certainly be changes in various U.S.
A primary driving force behind the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership was to incentivize countries to voluntarily forgo building sensitive fuel-cycle facilities. Hence the twin ideas of a multinational or international fuel bank and cradle-to-grave fuel leasing (including spent-fuel take back).
The extent to which Miles Pomper and I agree is greater than he realizes, as my underlying assumption is not that nuclear power is certain to undergo a "rapid" global expansion.
A valid criticism of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), at least as it was originally conceived, is that it focused too much on preferred technologies, without first obtaining an international or domestic consensus on the basis for their selection.

Adkins is still without Wayne Bridge, Sean Morrison (both knee), Chris Baird (ankle), Hal Robson-Kanu (calf), Mikele Leigertwood (ankle), Jason Roberts (hip) and Jem Karacan (cruciate).
Striker Nick Blackman took a hefty blow at Vicarage Road but should be fit along with winger Jordan Obita, who came off with cramp.

April 9, 2009
ANAHEIM, CA--The Los Angeles Angels say Thursday night's home game against Oakland has been postponed.
That comes after rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart has was killed in a hit-and-run car crash after Wednesday night's game.
Adenhart, 22, was a right-handed pitcher from Silver Spring, MD. He had pitched in the minor leagues since 2005, including last season for Salt Lake City of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League.
University of California, Irvine Medical Center spokesman John Murray says Adenhart died Thursday morning after undergoing surgery.
Officials said Adenhart was one of three people killed in the crash early Thursday, hours after he started in a loss to the Oakland Athletics.
He pitched six shutout innings in that game, but was not involved in the decision.

Help! I'm stalked by a former Labor leader who is a fabricator
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, November, 27, 2012, (9:08am)
I've mention before how former Labor leader Mark Latham in writing about me lately has fabricated quotes and deceitfully twisted others to give them the opposite meaning. I consider this to be deeply dishonest, and it's astonishing that Crikey, knowing the truth, has nevertheless published his rants. Is sliming me really so important to Crikey that it will publish even proven deceptions?
I've since let the rest of Latham's rubbish drift by without comment, figuring his credit is so low no one will believe it anyway. Again, it says something about Crikey that it still publishes anything, no matter how farfetched and false, he chooses to write about me. "Quality journalism", indeed.
But today Latham again - and in Crikey again - not only makes something up but says something so foul that I should correct the record:
[Bolt's} coverage of the Slater & Gordon matter has shown him to be a right-wing media fanatic, specialising in wild allegations, conspiracy theories and the politics of smut (such as his constant demand for the media to investigate Julia Gillard's relationship with Craig Emerson 10 years ago—whenever the Slater & Gordon smear is not going well for Bolt, he falls back on this smear).
[Bolt's} coverage of the Slater & Gordon matter has shown him to be a right-wing media fanatic, specialising in wild allegations, conspiracy theories and the politics of smut (such as his constant demand for the media to investigate Julia Gillard's relationship with Craig Emerson 10 years ago—whenever the Slater & Gordon smear is not going well for Bolt, he falls back on this smear).
Not once have I called on the media to investigate Gillard's relationship with Emerson. Not once. I have noted that Gillard's very personal attack on Abbott's alleged attitude to women has invited similar scrutiny by The Australian about her own attitude to married women, as well as an obscure reference to Emerson by a Coalition frontbencher. I have also noted how Women's Weekly in its largely fawning profile of the Prime Minister relegated this potential embarrassment to just two sanitised paragraphs on the very last of the 13 pages.
That's just observing media coverage and double standards. But to claim I have a "constant demand for the media to investigate Julia Gillard's relationship with Craig Emerson 10 years ago" is utterly false. I do not demand this and never have. To claim the opposite suggests to me that Latham is a liar or delusional or a fool with severe comprehension problems. If I thought the relationship should be investigated I'd have done so myself.
That Latham was nearly our Prime Minister is terrifying.
And again I should ask: is this the kind of journalism we should expect from a Financial Review columnist? What else does he write that's false or fabricated?
Have Your Say
Crikey, knowing the truth
Crikey, knowing the truth
Ah, yes. That old expression: "Know thine enemy."
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:47am)
As one of relatively few high-profile political commentators who supports conservative views, and arguably the most effective, I am surprised that you haven't been attacked even more ruthlessly. Yet.
Perhaps Latham has been given the job of taking you down, now that it is clear the defamation action didn't dent your credibility. He is now just another of Gillard's attack dogs.
As usual, the hypocrisy of the Left and Labor is on display here. While Gillard et al screech about personal smear tactics supposedly used by the Liberals, they are in fact using the tactic much more themselves, in fact making it their primary weapon.

Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:42am)
does anyone other than mark latham really listen to him rather than mark latham
Blame yourself Andrew,you've previously stated that you don't sue when people say or print untrue and potentially defamatory things about you and in so doing you've made yourself a very soft target.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:51am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:06am)
I agree with this Bruce. Andrew says that he doesn't believe in using their tactics and methods but this only means that they will win. If they do theirs will only be their tactics and methods left and there may be no way back to our freedom.
He should be attacking them in the courts for their lies and misrepresentations in the same way that they attack him.
[Bolt's} coverage of the Slater & Gordon matter has shown him to be a right-wing media fanatic, specialising in wild allegations, conspiracy theories and the politics of smut (such as his constant demand for the media to investigate Julia Gillard's relationship with Craig Emerson 10 years ago—whenever the Slater & Gordon smear is not going well for Bolt, he falls back on this smear)."
Crikey! That's a bit over the top. Crikey may have to fall on its rubber sword..
What load of rubbish. Contemptuous. A smear on moi too.. and quite a number of others.. like lots and lots and lots.. But don't look back..
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:51am)
Yes, says it all about Latham and Crickey. It constantly amazes me that some people or organisations that are totally irrelevant in everyday society, bluster and fawn to present themselves as relevant. Just ignore, I do.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:51am)
Why does the ALP keep putting up these deeply flawed individuals as leaders. Who's next?
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:52am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:53am)
Peter Slipper? Craig Thompson?
As some of your regular posters are fond of saying....."pot, kettle, black".
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:54am)
It seems Latham has returned to his old ways, being a loose cannon.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:56am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:49am)
When he was running for PM he was not only a loose cannon, but it turns out he was pointing down at the deck.
AFR should look out, he seems to be pointing that way again.
But this is classic behavior when it comes to the Leftish side of the debate.
The strawman argument is the left's stock in trade.
Haven't actually said anything appalling? No problem. Lefties will happily deem that you have and 'quote' you accordingly (not to mention ascribing attitudes and beliefs to you that you've also never expressed).
It's all part of the 'fake but true' meme the lefties hold so dear.
And it's unhinged.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:56am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:36am)
Rightie projection at its finest. Well done.
The question that needs to be asked about Latham is why is he going out on such a desperately precarious limb defending Gillard?
There's no love lost between the two. So what else is behind it?
I smell NSW Right and union exposure issues.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:57am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:36am)
......... or ............
perhaps he is just a twit.!!!
Andrew, it's called Karma!
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:57am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:04am)
who is Carmen? By the way, loved your slam dunks.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:05am)
Remember that when the ALP rabble are kicked into the gutter next election swabbie.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:07am)
Time for you to get out of the gutter, Jordon.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:07am)
Remember you said that statement.
I think it haunt you from this day on.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:08am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:12am)
You spelt Slander incorrectly.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:21am)
And you're such a Karmedian.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (11:32am)
Then watch out Jordo.
Andrew, you have more credibility in your little finger than Latham has in his whole body.That Labor once put him up for Primeministership is very scarey indeed and says a lot about their judgement. We certainly missed a bullet with that one. Labor exercises very bad judgement yet again and look at who we have as Prime Minster!
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:58am)
I believe Mr Latham has recently "left" Spectator Australia in a fit of rage, following on from his "leaving" of his mentor Gough Whitlam and his "leaving" of the Labor Party.
Mr Latham has a long history of leavings and hates, and now it appears invention of facts to bolster more of them is another modus operandi.
No doubt Crikey will soon be on his farewell list for some or other sleight.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:58am)
It must be like looking in a mirror and not liking what you see.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:59am)
Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:56am)
Now, now Mark, at least post under your real name.
It's an old tactic, Andrew that sits well within the Labor cabal: lie, lie, lie until people believe the lies as truth.
Perhaps Latham is under orders from McTernan?
Tue 27 Nov 12 (09:59am)
Stalked by Latham? Now that is a scary problem!! Still, all the people that matter know how much greater is your integrity than his. Keep exposing the fools, Bolta!
Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:01am)
Well she did have affairs with married men, what's the point of denying the truth.
And why is M.Latham so cranky about that, I wonder.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:02am)
Is Latham one of this nut job mysognists that the PM refers to? Yes Australia dodged a bullet when he did not get the top job…
Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:03am)
Three recent Labor leaders, LATHAM/RUDD/GILLARD.
How's that for a trifecta.
It will probably make RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
Unfortunately we have to believe it.
Tue 27 Nov 12 (10:04am)
Yep, that's Mark Latham for you.
Of course, we know why he defends Gillard and attacks you, Andrew Bolt ... it goes back to when Latham left the party.
What was it ... the Labor Party is broken ... Swan and others are chooks ... Gillard is the only good one.
So ... if Latham now starts criticising Gillard, in effect it would show that he too suffered from a gross error of judgement about Gillard. So he must defend her through thick and thin!

Wrinkle Treatments 101
Putting Your Best Face Forward
Cosmetic Fillers and Wrinkles
In this article
Cosmetic fillers are materials injected underneath the skin to make it fuller. After an injection, the plumper skin shows fewer wrinkles and looks younger.
Injectable cosmetic fillers have been around for decades. In recent years, medical advances have brought new versions of this wrinkle treatment to the marketplace. Newer cosmetic fillers are longer lasting, even permanent. But be sure to do your homework before heading to the cosmetic surgeon.

What You Should Know About Wrinkle Fillers
Injectable wrinkle fillers can give you a more youthful look for a fraction of what a traditional facelift costs. Most will fill lines and wrinkles in less than 30 minutes with results that can last from 4 months to more than a year. Injectable wrinkle fillers, unlike Botox injections that relax the muscle under a wrinkle, fill the line, crease, or area with one of several different substances. As a result, trouble spots nearly disappear. Wrinkle fillers can also be used as "volumizers,"...
Read the What You Should Know About Wrinkle Fillers article > >
The Birth of a Wrinkle
Skin is held tight and smooth by three critical components: collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. These chemicals combine to create a firm, spongy meshwork under the skin surface. This elastic structure keeps the skin surface smooth and firm.
With age, this meshwork slowly loses its integrity. With weakness in the underlying support structure, the skin's surface loses its perfect baby-skin smoothness.
Injecting cosmetic fillers helps fill the thinned-out meshwork. The fillers plump up the tissue underneath the skin, shrinking wrinkles. The skin becomes firmer, smoother, and younger-looking.
Collagen is the oldest and best-known cosmetic filler. Newer natural and synthetic products are available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Bovine Collagen Fillers
Bovine collagen is processed from the skin of cows. Approved in the 1980s as a wrinkle treatment, bovine collagen is still widely used as a cosmetic filler.
Bovine collagen is effective and less expensive than other treatments. It can cause allergic reactions, so allergy skin testing is generally done before beginning the injections.
The body naturally breaks down injected collagen, so you need to get collagen injections two to four times per year to maintain results.
Human Collagen Fillers
Human collagen, made from cultures of human cells, became available in 2002. Human collagen causes dramatically fewer allergic reactions than bovine collagen, so skin testing is not needed. It is more expensive than bovine collagen, and injections also need to be repeated every three to six months.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a natural part of skin. With age, you have less of it in your skin.
Various natural and synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA) products are available. In the newest products, the HA molecule is modified to break down more slowly. Cosmetic results can last nine months or longer. Allergic reactions are very rare.

- "I decided to do Iron Man 3 because I've never done the "Hurry Up And Wait" movie before. Even the studio movies I've done have been small studio movies, or indie films that we made on a wing and a prayer. I love those, but Iron Man is refreshing in a way because it's something out of my realm of experiences."
- "She is [strong]. Yeah. But I can't possibly tell you more without giving something big away."
- "It's really weird. I don't quite know what to say or what not to say. I'm guaranteed to put my foot in it at some point. [laughs]"
- "I'm now slightly converted. Some of the artwork is astonishing. I'm kind of into it."
- "I've never had a huge desire to be a massive Hollywood actor. Yet this is the third instalment of a series I've really enjoyed, I really like Downey as an actor, and it looked like it would be fun. And it was. It was a very smart set, Iron Man. There's a whole game of wits going on all the time between Downey and Shane."
- "He's a really brilliant improvisationalist. He's incredibly quick-witted. Everything he brings to Tony Stark is him. Of course there's all of the tradition from the comic books, the movie, and also the writing is brilliant, but there's also a heavy dose of that character is Robert Downey Jr. He's inspiring to work with and watch. He's a force."
- "No, I don't think I've lost my heart to action [laughs] I don't think it's my natural calling as an actor but it's fun to do now and then. 'Iron Man 3' is as exciting as you can imagine it to be, very, very exciting. They're more than film, they're events, these things. The film already has such a following and such an established tradition - to come in on the third one is really exciting because you understand the characters, you understand the setup and you feel excited to be apart of it. Robert is smart, quick-witted, and keeps you on your toes in an inspiring way."
- "We had a fun time shooting it because it was funny on the page, but somehow the three of us started getting more and more ridiculous with it and got a lot of jokes out of it."
- "You realize actually that the haircuts were really specific and there are certain cultural references that you can really milk like Jon Favreau dressed up like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. It's kind of great."
- "Maya is discovered by Killian because she's one of the most intelligent & brightest, biochemical scientists in the world, so she gets recruited by him. By this point, she's already well on the way to creating what she thinks is going to be the single most revolutionary discovery of mankind because it will essentially cure human beings of all illness, but she needs the funding to complete it. So she sells it to the highest bidder, who is Killian, and he funds her research."

A disappointment
By Cheryl
from Scottsdale AZ
Comments about Whirlpool 27" Electric Wall Oven/Microwave Combo - Stainless Steel:
The Combination Microwave Wall Oven was installed in my home August 1st. On the day it was installed I rated the appearance of this appliance 5 stars, but after one use the black glass oven door turned pinkish black and stayed that way. The oven door glass no longer matches the microwave door glass, which is black. In addition, and far more annoying, when the oven is heating, a fan starts running making a high-pitched whistling sound. After the oven is turned off, the fan continues whistling until the oven is cooled. We thought we would get accustomed to the noise, but so far we are still annoyed by it. The oven also makes popping noises occasionally while in use. I've had many ovens in my time but this purchase has been a disappointment. (And when did manufacturer's quit including broiler pans with their ovens? I should have saved my old one.) The microwave works as expected; no complaints. I am sorry I didn't spend a few more dollars on a more quality product. I will avoid the Whirlpool brand in the future.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Wall Oven
By TR
from Chandler, AZ
After doing the research and reading the reviews, I decided to go with the Whirlpool Combination Microwave/Oven wall unit. I replaced a 21 year old White GE Combination Microwave/Oven that was installed when the house was built. The plastic around the unit had turned yellow and was taking a long time for the over to preheat. Also parts where no longer available for the GE oven that old. I'm not a big fan of stainless steel products, knowing its a pain to keep the stainless steel clean. At the time i purchased the Whirlpool oven, stainless steel was on sale and cheaper than the White or Black ovens. The new wall oven looks great. I have only had this oven for three weeks, in this short time in using the new oven, i find it very easy to use . The oven preheats fast and the food cooks evenly. This oven has a lot of features that i haven't had a chance to use yet. So far, im very pleased with this new oven.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Looks Great / Performs Great!
By iplaytuba
from Spring, Tx
I installed the combo myself, and I could not have had a better experience. Prepared the cabinet to the installation instructions size and recommendations, wired the electrical as explained in the electrical guide, and with a 2 person lift I positioned and completed the installation with the hardware provided. It was a perfect fit, and the unit looks outstanding in the wall. The functionality is perfect, and I continue to read the operation manual to find out new features on the unit. It is one of the better looking units in stainless steel, and so far, I have had no issues.

GREAT product & Features
By Sailor
from Dallas,Tx
We bought this to replace a Kenmore and it far exceeds the quality, features and operation of the previous oven unit. Unit is very efficient and gives a modern look.
Love it!
By Gaga
from San Ramon
So easy to use! Very Attractive! Large window into oven!
Looks great, and thats about it
By Ryan
from Chandler Az
I bought this about 4 months ago, strictly because I like what it looked like. As many have said before, the noise is horrible. The fan runs for almost an hour after the oven is turned off, and is extremely loud, and annoying. The oven takes much longer than any of my other ovens i've had to preheat. The controls are not very intuitive, all could be overlooked, except that noisy fan, its really bad
Very easy to use
By mlp
from Carrollton TX
Love it. So glade I purchased it.
Good enough
By Cfcue1
from Portland Oregon
The oven heats food just like its suppose to. What more do you need? Well it does look nice and is easy to use. The racks are well built and have a nice grip handle. Drawbacks: The fan does run a long time and can be difficult to hear the timer sound with the fan running constantly. I guess the fans are on all new ovens. My big complaint is that the touch panel control shows EVERY fingerprint. I mean it looks like a crime scene by the end of the day.
Microwave Problems
By Nashville Girl
from Brentwoo, TN
Whirlpool appliances came standard with my new home build. We did not have options for any other manufacturer. Have never owned Whirlpool... and will not buy them in the future. I have the model WOC54E built in microwave and combination lower oven. Oven is loud (fan runs to keep the exterior of door cool to touch while operating oven). Fan runs for 30-45 min after you turn the oven off. You almost get used to the noise.My real problem is with the microwave oven which has now stopped working after only 3 years. It is going to take 7-10 for delivery guy to get replacement parts -- and will cost me $600-800 to repair it. That seems pretty exorbitant given the appliance is only 3 years old (and cost to repair it is more than 25% the cost of the combo unit brand new).Very disappointed.
Great appearance!
By Big Jim
from Athens, GA
We previously had a white-faced combination microwave and oven. We have replaced it with the stainless steel model (WOC54EC7AS) which looks really classy - and performs very well - particularly as it is fairly near the stainless steel cook-top range we have. Great products; dependable name and function.

KING DIAMOND have finished writing 12 songs for their next studio album, "The Puppet Master", tentatively due in October through Metal Blade Records. According to the band's official web site, "King wrote nine songs this time and finished writing the music for those songs about two weeks ago. [KING DIAMOND guitarist] Andy [LaRocque] contributed three songs. So most likely there will be 12 songs on the album. However there is a slight possibility a short instrumental song might make it on the album. That is not confirmed at the moment."This time there will be no typical intro but an intro song which will be around two minutes [long] and is entitled 'The Sailor' which ends with the words 'Let The Show Begin' before kicking in with the [title track]. "The new songs sound very aggressive but still have a lot of theatrical elements in it," King said. "Expect a lot of double kicks in the songs I wrote." Also included on the album will be "a very sad, sad song (probably entitled 'So Sad'), which has very intense guitar playing on it," according to the web site. "King also said drummer Matt Thompson contributed a guitar riff on one of the songs. [In addition], on one of the songs, 'The Little Drummer Boy' theme is used. Further news is that Andy will arrive on February 27th in Dallas where he and King will start recording the songs. [KING DIAMOND bassist] Hal [Patino] will arrive about three weeks later."

Milwaukee Rep makes spirit of 'Christmas Carol' burn bright
In the cast biography he wrote for the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's 38th edition of "A Christmas Carol,"Jim Pickering catalogs the numerous roles he has played in his 26 Rep "Carols," before naming each of the adapters as well as set and costume designers who made them possible.
It's a beautifully rendered tribute that also channels the core message in what Pickering rightly calls "the greatest secular fable of human redemption ever written": our ability to change and grow, playing many roles and living multiple lives, if we can but open our hearts to the love and dedication of those many people challenging us to be our best selves. »Read Full Article

The first is a total body exercise that involves multiple joints with dynamic movement that creates many muscles working at the same time. It's a squat, curl to press using dumbbells as your resistance. It is one of those exercises that is easy to do whether you're home or away.
The second exercise is targeting your natural weight belt, your core. It is known as a forward ball roll. It can be done on your knees or standing. It does require a stability ball.
The third exercise is to work your back and is very beneficial to help improve posture. It can be done with a partner or on your own. This one requires a stretch band. Depending on how you challenge yourself, these exercises can be a great workout in a short amount of time.
Remember to do a sufficient warm up before beginning these exercises and cool down after. Depending on your goals, do these exercises one after another with a thirty second to a minute rest after the third exercise. Try doing 15 to 20 repetitions per exercise, and do two to three sets per workout.

Tears of Strengthbyjthserra©
Tears of Strength
From a distance I saw her gazing at a rose. I am not sure what caught my attention, perhaps the way she absorbed herself in the flower or maybe something else, something made her strangely alluring to me. She stood much shorter than me but seemed so proud, so tall. Her dark hair was straight and long, flowing over her shoulders like water. Her lips moved, as if she were chanting something. I listened, but could hear no discernible sound coming from her.
I looked at her lips; they were taut, but seemed to glisten, not from any lipstick that I could tell, it seemed purely natural. Her skin was faintly dark, with a slight hint of olive that seemed enhanced by her dark, dark hair. I couldn't help but stare at her. In her I saw such a subtle beauty, a beauty that spoke not of makeup and fine salons, but a natural beauty, a native grace.
I wondered if she felt herself move as she gazed at the flower, a gentle swaying in an almost hypnotic dance. I wanted to say something to her, ask her what it was she chanted, what it was that captured her attention so. But as I moved to approach her, I noticed a sparkle on her face and I hesitated. A tear ran slowly, painting a line over her prominent cheekbone and then cascading down. A second tear followed the first, forming an odd glistening trail over her cheeks. Suddenly she started, and as if awakening from a trance, she shook her head, looked around, and quickly walked away. She caught my eye briefly as she left, then looked away and disappeared out the door. I wanted to follow her, to say… to say something to her, but I froze as the door slowly closed.
Curious, I walked to the flower that seemed to captivate her so. The blossom was a faint yellow, not very large like the other hybrid roses displayed here. Although small, the flower was oddly appealing. It lacked the perfectly formed and colorful petals the other roses had, next to them it appeared slightly faded. But looking closer, deep into the bud, there was a depth, a deep color that was only apparent when you looked closely. Wondering about this flower I looked closely at the tag displayed next to the flower. It was called the Cherokee Rose. I checked my brochure and read about the rose, about the plight years ago.
I heard the crying and I knew it was over. I watched her carry the limp body away from the trail. She knelt and wept but only for a moment. The soldier then prodded her onward with his rifle. It was nothing new, nothing different, this happened all along our long trek. Sometimes children, sometimes women or old men, and sometimes proud warriors were laid along the trail. But it was always the same, the same sobbing, the same creak of the wagons and the same dust of the trail as we walked and walked in the long line. We must have stretched out for miles, that long march. And more of us kept coming, different villages, different faces, we were all the same to them. We marched, and died.
Yes, it was always the same. The survivors, the strong, cried the tears, the weak died. The dust caked to the tears, forming muddy trails on our faces. Occasionally a tear would find its way to the ground, a slight dampness that was quickly absorbed in the dust. How quickly were we were absorbed, we became dust.
At night I heard just the sobs and the howling of the wind. In the freezing cold we wrapped ourselves in the few blankets the soldiers gave us. I saw the sick and dying, desperate for warmth, wrapped tightly, coughing and fighting for air. I remember my mother eyes. They were so hollow, dark and empty as they carried her to the edge of the trail and we left her behind. I remember how the mud clung to my face for days, as the wagons creaked and we walked.
I heard a soft cough and noticed some movement near me. I caught myself swaying and quickly dried the tear running down my cheek. I finished reading of the Cherokee Rose, how they grow in abundance along the long trail of the Cherokee from Georgia to Oklahoma. The Cherokee say that wherever a tear hit the ground along the trail, a rose grew: the Cherokee Rose.
I felt another tear run down my face and I quickly walked away. I recalled the beautiful lady; how the tears trailed over her Cherokee cheekbones and wondered if she grew roses. I wondered where her ancestor's tears planted roses along the long trail of tears.

She then informed me that i was awarded a grant of $5,000. Due to the fact I am a college student and recently did my finiancial aid, i thought that maybe thats what it was pertaining to. She asked me for my bank account number and routing number. I then asked is that the only way that I am able to receive the money and she told me yes. I went on and gave her that information, but I was not aware of my routing number so she looked it up for me. She then told me how much money I had in my bank account.
Once she gave me that information I became curious about how easy it was for her to look up that information. I then asked for her name, address,and phone number. She gave me all of that information and told me that the $5,000 would be in my account by the 2nd of April, there was a process fee of $29.95, and a verification company would call me and ask me the same information over again to verify that it was me. I told her ok and she hum=ng up the phone.
After she hung up, I looked on my caller ID and noticed that the call was from an unknown number, I then called the number off of my cell phone and noticed that it was a New York area code. I tried again to call off of my house phone and the phone number that I hald already called once did not even ring. Now I am stuck in this situation because they have my bank account number and I am not sure how to stop them from doing anything in my account. I Really Got Scammed
