Buying a used vehicle
I am new to NL and have a question that I am sure has come up before. I am coming to Nicaragua at the end of February and want to buy a used vehicle. Since I will be within 30' of Managua I am trying to get some information on any dependable auto dealers that any of you may be able to recommend. I am interested in a dependable SUV type vehicle. What are some hidden or unexpected costs I can expect to run into? Apologies to those who have been here for some time and have seen this question before.
It is absolutely important
It is absolutely important that you maintain a proper vehicle maintenance. I know it appears like an inconvenience but by doing a few simple things you can get better MPG's and conserve yourself some possible expenses within the future. Essentially, you want to regularly check you air with your tires, oil (including changing it), fluids, wipers, lights, spark plugs, hoses and belts, and a lot more. It should take you less than an hour per month to keep up on your car maintenance, but by doing this you are likely saving yourself some serious hassles in the future. I would rather spend an hour a month on a vehicle checkup, then 8 hours stranded somewhere waiting for help.
don't buy a used
car here.
That means a vehicle used by locals.
There is no service or repair done, unless it's broken down.
Go to one of the importers from Korea or Japan and buy your car, you know that is has been treated better from where it was shipped.
Good Luck.
there are several used car lots in managua
that brings in cars ..kia,hyunda,and a couple of other makes..they are probably the safest to deal with
I agree with Roger...Don't buy used!
I am considering a Mahindra for my next vehicle. About 12k and built strong like the Toyota used to be.
Mahindra Dealership
Mahindra is made in India. I believe they opened a dealership in the PriceSmart complex. http://www.mahindrana.com/indian-cars-and-trucks.html
Another brand would be Wall of China. These are basically Toyota knock offs. Reasonably priced and More and more of them on the road. They are serviced by the Mitsubishi dealership.
Mahindra SUV
I have not noticed one in Nicaragua. This does not mean they don't sell them here. I am in the market for a new Double Cabina Pick up. Being the typical male shopper, I don't even notice anything I'm not in the market for :-).
Not sure you are missing anything
Used vehicles are fairly expensive depending on the brand and model year.
I have people coming up to me at gas stations and wanting to buy my old pick up. They are offering amounts that make me wonder if I shouldn't just hand them the key and take the money.
This makes a vehicle like the Mahindra or Great Wall of China even more attractive to me.
On the other hand, if you want something really rugged, easy to repair and great on fuel, I have a 1946 Willis that was rebuilt from the ground up. :-)
oh man oh man Jon
I learned how to drive on one of these at 12 YO :- O,my dad had 2 jeeps and the pick up version like this one: http://www.jeep-classifieds.com/34715_jeep-ad.html, his were 40's something, these beast would go through anything mud and SO simple to fix.
The only jeep I find resemblance to the willies are the old Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40s. :-)
You serious?
about the Willies? If so, PM me price. What model...PU, Van??
I love them.
Don't be selling my future truck to just anybody!
Funny you should mention the Willy's
looks like that's how Mahindra started
I had the truck washed for you
today. Finally after about 4 month LOL.
Used vehicles, not many good ones around.
I think the answer to your question could be that a lot of vehicles are simply trashed after using them on road and in conditions that are at times just brutal. If you find a good one they will be asking a lot and maybe for a good reason.
An ex city vehicle might be a better buy, but then stop/start wear on clutch and transmission as well as a constantly hot/maybe overheating motor needs to be compared with front/rear end/suspension and bone jarring wear on dirt road and in the country.
In the States and Canada "Mainly highway mileage" did mean something as far as assessing wear and tear. I don't think it applies as much here.
Who and how it's been driven before will become apparent as a major factor as you drive around here! One of the reasons I don't. Luckily for me, 15 cords to Rivas on a bus or 35 for a cab fair (and feeling of being "Green" for half an hour) is an option.
Don't rush into anything. There are a few guys here in SJdS I would, and likely will one day buy one from, not many though.
There was one in SJdS the other week, it looked good.
I compared it to my sandal purchases. Ryder's for $35-50 or cheap imports for $6-10.
Both wear in, get comfortable, get beaten up, eventually wear out and both can get stolen.
I can get 3 or 4 pairs of imports for one name brand. If I alternate the usage, they all last a long time. If they get stolen, I call into the dealer and buy new.
Does Mahindra make sandals?
Now a Casa Pellas Family Member...
Not me, "Mahindra" my East Indian half sister.
As reported by nicareal a while back, CP bought the dealership or rights or whatever. That has to be good news and a smart business move by them, offering cheaper vehicles in a soft economy, ready for an "up sell' later to a Toyota product.
Used Vehicle
I was in the same shoes when I moved here six years ago. I lucked out with an auto broker, but he's gone now. If you can't afford new, I'd suggest going to a reputable machinist/mechanic and ask if he knows of one worth buying. I'd only consider diesel and manual trans. You can't go wrong with Toyota as far as availability of parts and reliability. I can recommend a mechanic in Rivas, but am unfamiliar with any in Managua. The auto lots in Managua are full of scoundrels; stay away from them unless you need to liberated of excess cash. Feel free to reply if you'd like the name and number of my mechanic in Rivas.
Best of luck!
Mahindras and Great Walls
I have seen Mahindras all around CR, look to be a good vehicle, I think the diesel engine is by Renault. Stay away from the Great Walls, though they are 100% knock off of the Toyota, parts are interchangeable, the parts quality of the sheet metal, hinges and exhaust seem to be below par.
I bought a used Hyundai 4 door one ton flat bed (flat nose) for 1/2 the price of Toyota 1/2 ton 4 dr and have had no problems with the vehicle. It has the mechanicals from Mistubishi.
Casa Pellas
also sells Suzukis, including models discontinued in the US such as Jimny. Hecho en indonesia.
¨Independence is the only benefit we have gained, at the expense of all else¨ -Simon Bolivar
buying a used car
Very likely the seller will see you as a source of some easy $$. To have even a moderate chance of not getting taken YOU will have to be able to assess the condition of the vehicle quite well. For example you can check drive train wear by seeing how far the drive shaft will turn without moving the vehicle. Thats only one check of many. Id check to see if the engine has been replaced.
Its a pretty iffy matter even in the US. In Belize where I live and probably in Nicaragua as well, it will be even worse. If you're a gringo, they'll see you coming a mile off. They are thinking easy money big time.

By Steve Ginsburg
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Kentucky coach John Calipari knows he has no time to rest despite winning his first national title with one of the most dominant seasons ever in college basketball.
The 53-year-old coach has to hit the road to bring in more talent because he is certain a good portion of his current team will jump to the National Basketball Association (NBA).
"I said this a couple years ago and everybody got crazy when we had five guys drafted in the first round," a strangely pensive Calipari said Monday night after his team beat Kansas 67-59 for the Wildcats' eighth championship.
"This is one of the biggest moments, if not the biggest, in Kentucky history. The reason was, I knew now other kids would look and say, 'You got to go there.'
"What I'm hoping is there's six first rounders on this team. We were the first program to have five, let's have six. That's why I've got to go recruiting on Friday."
Calipari is the nation's top recruiter and will undoubtedly have to re-load despite starting a team with three freshmen and two sophomores.
Six-foot-10 first-year player Anthony Davis would probably go number one in the June NBA Draft if he decides to leave Lexington.
The multi-talented power forward from Chicago, named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player, said after the game that he has until April 29 to make a decision and he needs to sit down with his family and Calipari.
He is just one of many players on the 38-2 squad that will don NBA jerseys if not this year then next.
Calipari has heard all season that his squad was so good because they are more physically gifted than anyone else. The coach conceded his team is wonderfully athletic but said the real reason for the success is that they are unselfish.
"What I wanted them to show today is that we were not just a talented team, we were a defensive team, and we were a team that shared the ball," he said.
"They're more talented than everybody. We were the best team this season. The most efficient team. We shared the ball."
Kentucky's 38 wins set an NCAA record for most victories in a season. Calipari led Memphis to 38 wins in 2007-08 but those were later vacated because he used an ineligible player.
Kansas coach Bill Self praised Calipari and his staff for getting his youngsters to buy into the team concept.
"They've done a fabulous job coaching their team," he said. "They share. They like each other, the appearance is. And they certainly defend. They're playing with pros, that didn't hurt either.
"But, you know, they've done a great job coaching their team. I don't think their staff gets the credit sometimes that they deserve on how well they coach because they're so talented."
Calipari, who has a 102-14 record in his three years at Kentucky, does not like the NBA's rules that essentially make a youngster play at least one year of college before joining the NBA.
Though it has certainly not hurt his winning percentage, he would like the system to change.
"I don't think it's a good rule. I hope we change it before this week's out so all these guys have to come back," he said with a smile.

ACT1 encodes the single essential gene for actin (3, 2, 4). Actin is a ubiquitous, conserved cytoskeletal element critical for many cellular processes. The large collection of act1 mutants typically display defective intracellular actin distribution and show a wide diversity of phenotypes including: temperature sensitivity, osmotic sensitivity, ion concentration sensitivity, delocalized chitin deposition, a variety of gross morphological defects, abnormal nuclear segregation and/or cytokinesis, bud-site selection defects in diploids, alterations in organization and distribution of intracellular organelles, and a variety of secretion/endocytosis defects (reviewed in 5), reflecting the numerous functions of the actin cytoskeleton.
Actin is an ATP-binding protein that exists both in monomeric (G-actin) and filamentous (F-actin) forms (reviewed in 1, 6). Actin filaments are assembled by the reversible polymerization of monomers and have an intrinsic polarity; the fast-growing end is called the barbed end and the slow-growing end is called the pointed end. Yeast cells contain three types of filamentous actin structures: actin cables, an actin-myosin contractile ring, and actin cortical patches, all of which undergo extensive reorganization throughout the cell cycle (reviewed in 1, 6). Actin patches appear by fluorescence microscopy as cortical puncta, and are highly motile structures comprised of actin filaments that undergo rapid turnover (7). Actin patch assembly depends upon the actin-nucleating Arp2/3 complex (8). Actin patches are implicated in maintaining cell polarity, cell wall integrity, and endocytotic internalization (9, 1, 6, 10, 11). Actin cables are aligned with the mother-bud axis and are composed of bundles of actin filaments. Actin cables serve as tracks for polarized secretion, organelle and mRNA transport, and mitotic spindle alignment (12). The assembly of actin cables is dependent on the functionally redundant formins, Bni1p and Bnr1p (13, 14). The actin-myosin contractile ring forms transiently at the mother-daughter neck and is important for cytokinesis (reviewed in 15). Genetic screens and biochemical purifications have been fruitful in identifying numerous factors that regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics, organization, and function (reviewed in 5, 1, 6).

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –
Five men charged in a ang shootout outside the Carver Pool in South Albany are set to go on trial Monday.
Dozens of children were leaving the pool area as gunshots were fired last June.
23 year old Donald Winchester was hit in the side with a bullet.
Four men that prosecutors say are Southside Bloods, Jarnay Evans, Tchywaskie Jones, Brandon Taylor, and Dabkowski Luke, and one Crip, Jerry Lee Harris Junior are charged with street gang terrorism and aggravated assault.
District Attorney Greg Edwards says this trial is important in the fight against gang violence. "It's the worst possible place to have this kind of gang violence, as alleged. So it's important that this matter be brought to justice for that reason, if nothing, Edwards said."
Shaquanah Shade will also be on trial Monday, charged with hindering apprehension of a criminal and false statements. Sheriff's Investigators say she lied to them while searching for her boyfriend, Brandon Taylor.
If convicted the five charged gang members could be sentenced to 35 years in prison. Their trial begins Monday.

We can't stop targeted hacking, but we *can* stop mass surveillance, by building proven security into the everyday Internet.
The plan
First, get hundreds of sites and apps to add proven security (like SSL). Then on June 5, we'll run a splash screen *everywhere* to spread NSA-resistant privacy tools.
Here's a list of a few of the organizations who have already committed to this movement:

Do government surveillance disclosures have you fearing Uncle Sam's reach? Winston Ross looks at PGPs, secret phone apps, and burners like The Wire to cloak your digital trail.
They could be ripped from the plot of a sci-fi movie.
Since the erosion of Americans' civil liberties depends on high levels of public apathy, some of the most dangerous privacy breaches take place incrementally and under the radar; if it invites comparisons to Blade Runner or Orwell, then someone in the PR department didn't do their job. Meanwhile, some of the biggest threats to privacy, like insecure online data or iPhone GPS tracking, are physically unobtrusive and therefore easily ignored. And it'll be at least a year or two until the sky is overrun by spy drones.
So when a method of surveillance literally resembles a prop or plot point in a sci-fi movie, it helps to reveal just how widespread and sophisticated commercial and government monitoring has become. Here are five recent developments that seem almost unreal in their dystopian creepiness.
1. Buses and street cars that can hear what you say .
This question is at the center of debates this week at the World Conference on International Telecommunications.
The 12-day wonkfest has brought together representatives from more than 150 U.N. member states to craft global rules for the Internet. And that's where the trouble begins.
For many at the conference, the working assumption is that governments should control the digital network. They've reached this conclusion without asking any of the billions of Internet users who might think otherwise. Nor have they sought the advice of the many civil society groups that are helping to building a grassroots Internet freedom movement with global reach.
This idea of control is reflected in a Russian proposal , leaked by conference delegates late last week, which would give governments the power to reprogram Internet addresses and block dissident websites. Thus far, Russia has gathered the support of China, Saudi Arabia and other repressive regimes but has yet to submit it for consideration by all conference attendees.
Like all others at around 9 A.M. I checked my Facebook account for the second time that morning and instead of weekend party photos, I was seeing a lengthy message being copied and pasted by every alternate guy and popping on my feed. I found some influential guys doing it and that is when I seriously thought I should not be missing out if it is an important news or development in the social or digital world.
But it took me 2 minutes to understand that this is spam and people are doing just Ctrl C & Ctrl V without even reading it. The message appears like the one pasted in the screen grab and I am sure by now you have either pasted it on your profile or have read someone blasting on his wall that please don't post this rubbish on my news feed.

[NOTE* from Leftish: THIS IS HUGE NEWS FOR PRIVACY ADVOCATES!! We really need to support, thank and praise Twitter for this action. Does anybody know how to send Feedback to Twitter, or maybe we could start a petition of support?]
"They're his tweets — and you can't have them.
That's Twitter's message to prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which charged Twitter user Malcolm Harris with disorderly conduct during an Occupy Wall Street protest and secured a court order requiring the social networking site to hand over information about Harris.
In a move applauded by the American Civil Liberties Union as a "big deal," Twitter has filed a motion to block the prosecutors' subpoena on the grounds that Harris, not Twitter, owns the content he shared with the social media service and that accessing it without a search warrant would violate federal law.
Twitter's lawyers also argued that under the Uniform Act, the prosecutors must secure a subpoena in California before requesting documents from a California company.
The subpoena, issued in January, called on Twitter to provide "[a]ny and all user information" related to Harris' Twitter account @destructuremal, including his email address and "any and all tweets" posted during a 10-week period at the end of last year.
Harris tried to quash the subpoena, but prosecutors ruled that he lacked the legal standing to do so because he had no proprietary claim to his tweets, which the district attorney's office likened to bank records.
In the motion filed Monday, Twitter takes issue with prosecutors' claims that Harris does not own his tweets, noting that this 'contradicts Twitter's Terms of Service.'"
FROM the DAILY PAUL:
Now that CISPA has passed the House, it is coming up to the Senate soon.
Here is a letter I sent both my Senators - Boxer and Feinstein, and this is a fast template you can use to write your Senators as well!
All you have do is replace your relevant information in whatever is in the brackets "[[ ]]". So put your name in where you see
[[Your Name]]. Pretty easy!
Here's a list of Senators, sort-able by State, Party etc. Just find your state, click on your Senator's link and it'll take you to their Contact page.
We need to get the word out and show our Senate that we
DO CARE ABOUT OUR LIBERTIES AND PRIVACY and end this bill!
Dear Senator [[Your Senator]],
My name is [[Your Name]]. I have been a long time [[Your State]] Resident and like you, I am very passionate about the state of our Country.
The House of Representatives has recently passed H.R. 3523, the CISPA or Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. Despite the House tweaking the bill with 11 different amendments, the Bill still infringes on our citizens basic rights of Privacy, and Freedom.
There is a want, and a need for protection of our "cyber" assets. I understand that. However, security must not cost us our Liberties and Freedoms. As a [[Your State]] Senator, I am sure that you align with these principles.
When the Bill comes to vote before the Senate, it is my humble and sincerest wish that you vote NO on it. This Bill is draconian in the powers it grants private corporations and the data they will have at their disposal without any oversight or accountability. If you haven't already, please take the time to review the bill and see for yourself how dangerous legislation like this can be to our civil liberties and our personal freedoms which has made our Country so great.
Again, I sincerely hope you vote NO on this Bill when it comes to a vote before you on the Senate Floor. Many of my fellow citizens are very concerned, and we will be watching who votes yes, and who votes no.
Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope you make the right decision and vote NO on H.R. 3523 (CISPA). God Bless.
[[Your Name]]

In a move that should surprise virtually no one, our lying, cheating, scheming den of whores and thieves (aka the US House of Representatives) passed CISPA on 4/26/2012 by a vote of 248-168.
If you don't know what CISPA is, please take a few moments to acquaint yourself with it, either by googling it or clicking on any of the links at the bottom of the article. In essence, it gives the government carte blanche access to the online activity of anyone using the internet in the USA.
I am running out of ways to say it: TYRANNY IS AT OUR DOORSTEP. You can choose to act or bury your head in the sand. I, for one, intend to go down fighting.
The absolute LEAST you can do would be the following:
1. Go to Twitter and retweet this (or any) CISPA article using hashtags #cispa #stopcispa and #policestate. Get these topics trending.
2. Find out how your US Representative voted on CISPA. Then contact them in any way possible (Twitter, email, phone) and either thank them for voting no or disparage them for voting yes. If using Twitter, please use the hashtags as mentioned above.
3. Contact your US Senator and urge them to vote NO on CISPA.
4. Encourage all your friends, coworkers, and family to do the same!
Although the White House has threatened a veto of this bill, one cannot automatically assume that it will. (we all know how it went down with the NDAA.)
Killing CISPA in the Senate is our best shot to stop it. Get involved! Links below.

Please call and let your Senators know you do NOT SUPPORT CISPA…
This is HUGE: President Obama just threatened to veto CISPA if it makes its way through Congress.
Please click here to urge Obama to stand strong, and to let your lawmakers know that you support Obama's veto threat.
CISPA is up for a vote this week. It would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States, giving the government — including the military — broad new powers to spy on Internet users.
The White House's letter expresses precisely the concerns that we've been highlighting over recent weeks — and is a result of the public pressure against CISPA:
And the letter goes on to assert that:
The American people expect their Government to enhance security without undermining their privacy and civil liberties.
Without clear legal protections and independent oversight, information sharing legislation will undermine the public's trust in the Government as well as in the Internet by undermining fundamental privacy, confidentiality, civil liberties, and consumer protections.
This is an amazing development. Let's make the most of it:
Just click here to urge Obama to stand strong and to tell your lawmakers to oppose CISPA.

All of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods weren't enough to decide a winner Friday night between Marriotts Ridge and Wilde Lake.
The teams ended up settling for a 1-1 draw.
"I'm so happy right now," said Wilde Lake coach Davia Procida. "We could have lost. They played with so much heart, so much energy and so much class. I'm very proud of them."
The Wildecats (2-1-2; 2-0-1) came out swinging, taking a barrage of shots early on to press the Mustangs back into defensive mode. But, it only took one open opportunity for Marriotts Ridge (5-0-1, 2-0-1) to strike.
Ten minutes into the first half, the Mustangs' Alexis Zadjura took a fast-break ball from Taylor Hensh for the first score of the game.
Following the goal, Wilde Lake continued its press into Marriotts Ridge territory, owning possessions and winning 50-50 balls.
The Mustangs were coming off back-to-back wins earlier in the week, and Grey said the effects from a heavy workload started to show.
"It's been a tough week," Mustangs coach Robin Grey said after the game. "I think the wear in this third game showed. I think we came out a little flatter than I'd like us to have."
Though their coach thought the squad lacked a bit of pep, the Mustangs entered the break still leading 1-0.
The second half was more of the same, as Wilde Lake kept the pressure on the Mustangs' defense and keeper Jenna Bergquist.
With nine minutes remaining in the game, Wilde Lake's Rachel Lazris was making a play on a ball in the box when she made contact with an opponent, who then fell to the ground. Lazris was issued a yellow card on the play, and was forced to come out of the game, though she was allowed to return.
Just minutes later, Wilde Lake finally struck.
Ali Mallo netted a pass from Carliane LaGuerre, which tied the game at 1-1.
"We wanted to come out without a loss," Mallo said. "Everybody has underestimated us. We wanted to come out showing the entire county that we are not a team to be messed with."
Following the yellow card, and with tensions already high, the final seconds of regulation ticked away.
Procida said it didn't take much coaching to get her players ready for golden goal.
"We didn't really have to say much," she said. "Our captain, Sarah Hulit took the lead, and just said that we made it this far, we should win this game, and leave everything on the field.
"They were awesome."
The first overtime came and went without either team giving in, forcing a second, and final, ten minutes.
With less than two minutes to play in the second overtime, an oncoming Mustang attempted to stop a charging Ali Mallo.

Take for example Sporereggar rep... useful mostly for achievement/pet purposes.
Why have the rep at all if you've going to give the pet away? It sounds like it's not even that rare a chance for the pet.
So yeah, I farmed that pain in the bum rep for a pet. Now anyone who runs a dungeon can have it.
It's a little annoying. Is it the end of the world? No. Is the pet shitty now? No, it's still adorable. It's just a little less awesome, which is exactly why I put it that way.

My sister // 35mm
Can I just say (…for the millionth time…) just how thankful my heart is that I get to serve such an incredible God. So merciful, so faithful, SO GOOD to me. I don't know how anyone lives without His presence in their life. Seriously. Like I said not too long ago, time in His presence makes up for everything. And I mean absolutely EVERYTHING. Good or bad. It doubles the good and restores you from the bad. So so so good.
There is so much tragedy around us. If it's not in our own lives, then it it's in the lives around us. My spirit has been super sensitive to the weight of it all lately, there is such a heavy layer in the air. It's just waiting. And the Holy Spirit has not been quiet about it.
I cry because I feel for the lives being affected, my heart breaks more and more by the minute, yet I cry because there is beauty in the ashes…and I am in awe of the beauty that is God and His beautiful promises that He has for those who remain faithful through it all. I feel this heartbreak as well as an overwhelming amount of joy where all I can still do is rejoice, even in the midst of it all! I have never felt more broken and I have never felt more free.
Take heart because you can overcome this too. Believe for your miracle that is coming, because it is! Declare it over your life and rejoice in the victory!
I am seriously so blessed to be surrounded by such great people.
Six days into this brand new year and God has already shown so much to me. I've only caught a glimpse of His plan for 2011 so far, but it has completely set me on fire. He has transformed my heart and my vision. It has intensified so deeply. I am more passionate about life and ministry than I ever have been before.
- - -
I know a lot of us thought last year was a huge time of change and it was, but I feel like 2010 was a time for personal change and spiritual growth- preparation more of. And this year it's going to be about using that and stepping out. Changing our comfortable ways and busting through the little Christian bubble that we all get so wrapped up in, whether you'd like to admit it or not- we are all found guilty of doing so. And we can no longer waste time being comfortable and in one place. God can't use us if we are stagnate.
Be ready to go, but be prepared for nothing. Don't get used to the sound of something you like or a certain idea. Just be ready.
He has shown me what we as His people need to be doing and focusing on during this time instead of what we are doing and have been doing. Which is, beating around the bush and waiting. But what exactly are we waiting for? What is it holding you back?
It's time for a stand. The time for us to go out of our everyday ways and fulfill what has been called upon our lives has come. It is now that we are to be emptied. Emptied to be used. To radically change the world around us. Fully.
Our time is flying by. Our days are becoming shorter and shorter by the minute. And we have to make it a reality to ourselves that with every minute we loose, another soul is lost. Forgotten. Left for dead. And no matter how many times you've already heard that or how hard it may be for you to actually apply to yourself- no matter what you have to say for yourself. It doesn't matter. The cold hard truth of His word is that we are held accountable for every single being in this world. And honestly, we should be. Because although we live a very short life, we are given more than enough time. Excuses are not acceptable. And I take full responsibility. Because in all the time we spend hanging out with our friends or all the hours we spend inside of the four walls of the church, we should be out investing into the lives of the people living in the dark. Not the people that are already aware of the life that is to come.
I believe that 2011 is going to be an awakening. A revival. Be ready for it. Do what the Lord is telling you to and hold nothing back. Pray for realization and a passionate heart. Pray that you will be motivated and have the courage to do His work. Pray that His vision for 2011 will become yours.
Rainy morning train ride.
Dallas, Texas.
God has been showing me a lot lately. We all go through seasons spiritually and right now I'm at a very intense point in my relationship with Him. I'm being ripped to shreds and it couldn't feel more amazing. I know it's because a lot of things are changing and intensifying in my life right now. Life has slowly started moving along for me. I'm starting to get an idea of where I'm supposed to go, what I'm supposed to do. As to where a little over two years ago or so, I was told to stay and not move a single muscle. As time went on, I started understanding why God called me to do what He did and directed me to stay where I am. While obeying and following His plan I learned and grew so much, was stretched to incredible lengths and molded into the person I am today. It feels good to be where I'm supposed to. How I'm supposed to. But I know that getting to that point was only the start. The plans He has for our lives are never ending. When we surrender and choose to follow Him, we completely give up our lives 100%. And no matter how much changing we may do, as long as we are still here on earth we will still always have more room to change and grow spiritually. It's a never ending process. It's all only just begun and as exciting as it truly is, it's also extremely challenging. I'm realizing more and more not only who I am but who I also need to become in order to do all that He has called me to do. It's kind of like re-learning everything and starting from scratch…Again, a never ending process. But it really is an amazing feeling to know that He is working on me from the inside out. That He is completely stripping me from everything I am and ever was. To know that I'm being remodeled so that I can truly be made into purely an image of Him. Because that's all I want in life. To be as Christ-like as I possibly can and used by it. It's the only way I'll ever be able to make some kind of a difference. And that is after all what we are here to do…

'Real Housewife' Aviva Drescher's Bikini Body Is Awesome but Her Diet Sounds Miserable
I don't know about you, but Aviva Drescher is possibly, and by that I mean easily, the worst Real Housewife of New York, ever. Ugh, I don't even want to get into it. She's more annoying to watch than even the abominable Jill Zarin and the certifiable Kelly Bensimon if only because Aviva seems to know better, but does shit regardless. Anyway! We're talking about Aviva today because she recently revealed some "diet secrets" that I think we need to discuss.
The 42-year-old mother of four says:
I heat a high protein, low carb diet. I go spinning a few times a week, but it is more than just exercise, I eat well. I love green juices. I won't drink diet soda, and I avoid pesticides and food with chemicals. I won't eat hotdogs or bacon as they are filled with nitrates, and those are cancer causing agents.
Also, she's very anti-Miso soup, claiming that whenever you order it from a restaurant it comes out of a can and is filled with MSG.
With these food restrictions, it's no wonder Aviva is a thin woman. I mean, avoiding food with chemicals ... doesn't almost all food have chemicals? Not that that's right, that they should, but most do, and unless Aviva's got an orchard, a garden, a dairy farm, and a butcher in her backyard, it must be very difficult to find food untouched by the industrial revolution.
I suppose if you're going to be zealous about anything, health should be at the top of the list, so I can't knock Aviva for living what sounds like a very clean lifestyle.
I can, however, opine that her existence sounds pretty miserable. To be constantly thinking about what you can and cannot eat ... that seems tortuous to me.
Dining at restaurants is a big part of New York City life and eating is a huge component of almost all forms of socializing everywhere -- to not be able to take part in such a large chunk of society sounds sad, if not stressful. Having to worry about what's being served, what's offered, etc. sounds a lot less fun than having the steak and a beer and getting back on the health train the next day.
One thing's not up for debate, though -- Aviva sure does look fantastic in her bikini!
Do you believe in diets that restrict certain foods?

When that is the lifestyle you live you aren't just constantly thinking about it. It's just life. It's not a stressor. She knows what and where she can eat things that fit into that lifestyle, I'm sure.

I don't believe in diets that restrict certain foods purely for weight loss, but I am gluten intolerant, so I question everything about the food I eat - at home and when dining out. I have to constantly think about it, but it has become a part of my life. It's second nature.

Lenore411January 4, 2013 at 7:07 PM
I think she looks amazing and the article hints at jealousy. It seems that she works really hard to keep and maintain her body. And actually high protein low carb is how hypoglycemics eat. Also, many people with food allergies avoid certain foods. I thought I was clicking an article that was talking about a woman living off of lettuce. It sounds like a wise and smart diet. I'm sure she isn't thin simply by avoiding foods with chemicals, as I'm sure she is talking about highly processed unnatural foods. It isn't hard to go to find a restuarant that serves natural food, or a vegetarian salad that didn't use pesticides.

KerannmerJanuary 4, 2013 at 9:18 PM
I'm trying to figure out what makes her diet so miserable? It sounds nearly identical to the way I eat, and I don't feel deprived of anything. Also, I never have a "food hangover" and feel energetic and light nearly 100% of the time! Don't knock it until you try it.

4 Tips To Make Co-Parenting With Your Ex Easier
It is not uncommon to waste the time we have with our children thinking about or being upset about our co-parent, or our situation. When we are upset, we are not present to our children. It is has been learned in recent years that the most important thing we can do for our children is be "present." This means being tuned into them, paying attention to them, "feeling into" what they are experiencing. When we are in the throes of emotional upset, we cannot be present. More than anything, we want our children to be happy and healthy. Yet, when we get upset about what we imagine will hurt them (such as our ex) our distressed state of mind makes it impossible to do the one thing that would benefit them the most: BE PRESENT. There are many resources readily available to us to help us learn how to be present. One of the most important is learning "mindfulness" skills. Simply put, mindfulness is awareness of what we are experiencing in the present moment, which includes paying attention to our breath, thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. The more we are mindful, the more we will benefit our children, no matter what our ex does.
We are driven by many beliefs that we are often unaware of. One of the beliefs that drive divorce co-parents is that the ex is going to cause our children to be unstable or unsuccessful. I am not denying that the ex will influence our children. That is all the more reason for us to work on being stable ourselves, and present to our children. Given that there are many things that we cannot change about our ex, the best thing we can do for our children is provide an environmenthat is calm, grounded and secure. If children are brought up in two homes, one that is emotionally chaotic and unstable, and the other that is calm, grounded and stable, they will learn how to be calm, grounded and stable. If they grow up in two homes that are emotionally chaotic, they will only learn how to be emotionally chaotic. Acting out of the belief that your ex can ruin your children causes emotional distress that contributes to your home being unstable; be aware of these beliefs and shift yourself out of them.
Many divorced co-parents have a great deal of guilt about the effect that divorce will have on the children. It is easy to focus on what is wrong and forget all the things that are right for your children. Train yourself to notice good moments. Good moments do not have to be extraordinary, they just have to be good. For instance, cuddling together at night, reading a story, feeling connected, enjoying a meal together, laughing about something funny. These feel good moments are extraordinarily important in building a life that feels fulfilling and becomes successful. The more you notice and feel good about these moments, the more they will come! When you are not with your children, imagine those moments and feel good about them. The more you feel good, the more you feel good! Your ex cannot take these moments or good feelings away from you and your children. Never underestimate the power of these moments or feelings in your children's lives.

Get out of the house and spend a little time shopping for things you need and love, or re-focus your energies on a DIY project to breathe new life into something old.

In addition to decluttering your media and (gasp!) book collection, and delving into a little protein/carb shopping excursion, you'll also be considering color and softness — where you need it, where you have too much of it. First, on shopping: here are some tips to consider when thinking about buying things for your home:
Prioritize and condense your shopping list. It's tempting to buy inexpensive, lower quality versions of all the things you want so you can cross off your home-to-do list. But in the long run, you might be disappointed that you spent much-needed money on items that didn't last. Always keep in mind the "protein vs. carbohydrate" -- those higher-quality, more expensive and longer lasting pieces, vs. the trendy, easy to have-and-then-get-rid-of-later pieces, and make sure that you're only buying what you need and love. Save your money for something that is exactly what you want, even if it takes longer to get it. You'll be glad you waited.
Consider DIY makeovers instead of new items. It's true that new items can bring an uplifting energy into your home. But with a little DIY ingenuity, you can sometimes achieve the same effect by reviving old pieces instead. A little paint job on an old table could be just the accent piece you were hoping for.

Last year Rachel from Re-Nest wrote a great post on consolidating and prioritizing your possessions. When her home was burglarized, the way she dealt with the situation was realizing that everything stolen was replaceable. The only things that she would've been distraught over losing apparently did not have the same value to the burglars. So rather than replacing each thing that was taken, she decided to consolidate and prioritize. Here are her thoughts on that process:
Pare down your book and media collection:
The most prized possessions to the burglars were electronics – no surprise there. We decided, given the direction media is going, to forgo getting a DVD player and stereo (it almost seems quaint just typing that). We instead got an AppleTV, which when connected to our main computer, can completely replace both pieces of equipment. My boyfriend and I used to be big into buying and renting DVDs and I had always resisted buying digital music over CDs. However, after having my CDs stolen so many times, I decided it wasn't worth repurchasing them (mp3s can't be stolen) and storing them. Gone are the days of numerous pieces of equipment for entertainment and storage for CD and DVD collections. If you don't have an AppleTV (though I highly recommend getting one – you can also get rid of cable), you can do the same thing with an Apple Airport, receivers or some video game consoles. Once you've consolidated your music there are plenty of resources for donating, selling or sharing your collection:
• LendAround.com: Helps You Borrow Things from Friends
• Simple Green: Use the Library
If keeping your media collection physical rather than digital is important, than really make it yours – display it nicely and neatly and if you're tight on space than it should be your only collection displayed. If it's not important enough for that then reconsider whether it's worth keeping around. We've covered a number of great ways to display media:
• 22 New Uses for Old CDs
• How To: Make CD Case Wall Art
• Display Ideas For the Music Lover
• Apartment Inspiration for Album Lovers
• Inspiration: Record Album Storage

Books, to me, are a whole different animal, but I know with the rise of the Kindle this will soon change. There are a lot of people need to keep their books for their monetary value, a sentimental reason, or because they love to read them multiple times. My boyfriend and I have tons of books – most of his are textbook and research oriented (as he is a perpetual student), while I'm more than happy to get rid off all that aren't of the coffee table variety. To keep the balance we have one bookcase in the living room that holds all of the coffee table and currently-being-read books. All others go into the office bookcase (which by the way is two stacked Ikea Expedits). Anything that doesn't have a spot should be reconsidered; if they important enough to you to keep, then find them a proper home so that they can be appreciated. Otherwise there are many ways to enjoy books without having to buy and keep them:
• Look! Community Book Exchange
• Tips: Detaching Yourself (Rationally) from Your Books
• Simple Green: Share Your Books
• Green Tip: Throw a Book Swap Party
There's a reason they say a paint job is the easiest and cheapest way to transform a room. Via AT:NY
Declutter the rest of your living room:
Now that you've cleared out and organized your books and media, all that's left is organizing your decorative items and keeping your storage and display in check. The best way to do this is continue the process of only keeping what's nearest and dearest to you. The living room should be the heart of the house, not a place for clutter. This is where you'll be relaxing and gathering with friends, so you really want to best represent you.
Continue using the outbox for items that are questionable and use the recycling and trash bins for everything else that doesn't belong. Always keep an eye out fo which items contribute to a healthy home and which don't.
The small rug softens the room and adds a fresh touch, as does the turquoise wall color. Via AT:NY
Thanks, Rachel!

Two things ...
1. The best way to deal with clutter is not more storage, but less stuff.
2. PLEASE learn the difference between "then" and "than".
This past year has been a serious lesson for me to have less stuff. In order to prepare to move overseas, I went through my things with a very vicious eye. I tend to be sentimentally attached to things and have a hard time letting them go. Books are definitely one item I find tricky to declutter. But with such a compelling reason (having to pay to store it or ship it), I was suddenly able to let go of so much more. What it taught me is that it's really just about having the right mindset and going through the "stuff" iteratively. Each time, it will be easier to let go of more.
One wonderful discovery was that in getting rid of several pairs of shoes that had always been uncomfortable, I also got rid of some guilt. I'd really only kept the shoes because I felt guilty about not wearing them given the money they had cost. By keeping them, I thought that maybe I might eventually wear them, but all I really did was keep the guilty reminder that I wasn't. It felt so freeing to be rid of that guilt.
Ah, buying stuff. I finally got the desk I've wanted for about a year. I can actually study at a desk now! And what's more, it was half price (love the Ikea 'as is' section).
As an allergy sufferer and a person who has moved a lot, I kicked the need to have loads of books at home. I like actual books (haven't broken down and gotten a Kindle or similar item yet) and am happy to borrow books from the library. On those occasions that I want to read a book sooner than it is available and buy it, I give it away after I have read it ("Apartment Therapy" excepted, of course!) unless it is something I need to refer back to later.
The cure has been a great incentive to get rid of unnecessary papers, too - and I'm about to digitize things that do not need to be kept in hard copy, which leaves a very few necessary papers left (YAY!).
I keep going back and re-editing clothing, shoes and the like and find that I feel a whole lot less guilty giving away those items to people who can actually wear them now (rather than my waiting until I can fit into things again or might need them). It's prom season so evening clothing I have worn once or twice and have no regular need for are going out the door!
Thanks to all of my Spring Cure compadres, I've stayed motivated - glued kitchen cabinets back together, caulked in the bathroom, gotten my landing pad together (mostly --still working with the challenges of my apartment entry right into the kitchen), cleared off kitchen countertops, reorganized cleaning supplies -- and have been buying flowers every week. All of this has made a HUGE difference!
I find that the style tray has helped me focus on what I need to get the look I want. I have my purchase list together -- although some items might have to be put off for a bit -- I am OK making do with what I have now until I can get things that I really like and want to keep. In the meantime, I check craigslist to see if any of those items are available used.
Thanks hunted -- I know I went on and on there (a little TOO much enthusiasm?).
@citipearl: No, not at all. I was in huge need of motivation and have refound it. My abominable ex-landlord has chosen this day - after I've urged him twice to pay back the two-month security fee which I had to pay as I moved in (moved out on April 1st...) - to inform me that his friggin' company, the official owner of the flat, supposedly has gone bankrupt. I might never see the pretty amount of money, which is enormous in a student's life. Grr. I'm a bit back on track re the Cure thanks to you.
I like the wall hanging in pic #4.

Carried in the Arms of Cheerleaders: A Conversation with Frank Turner
Trace: So, you've got a bit of a sideproject under way, yes?
Frank: Yeah, it's called Möngöl Hörde. It's kind of like noise rock, noisecore. So the idea is to be over the top and kind of in your face. It's something that's been planned for ages. The drummer involved in it was in Million Dead, the band I was in back in the day and, indeed, other bands I was in before that, as well. We did 4 shows and it was loads of fun! The problem with it is that it has to be on downtime from what I do usually and I'm pretty busy, as it is.
Trace: Are you guys planning a tour?
Frank: Yeah, yeah. I don't really know when. I mean, I'm hoping that we'll get a record out next year, hopefully kind of summer of next year. Maybe!
Trace: Through a label?
Frank: Probably through Xtra Mile. I mean, they're kind of like family for me. I kind of raised the idea with them of just giving the album away - because: fuck it, man! - but people at the label were not overly stoked for that idea, surprisingly enough! I guess we'll see.
Trace: So, the Olympics. Crazy, right?
Frank: Yeah! My manager got a phonecall saying that Danny Boyle wanted to have a meeting. I just thought…about what? (But) they wouldn't tell us anything about it over the phone. So, we had to go to this place for this meeting and it was just a bit weird because, obviously, your mind races and you're wondering what on earth he might want to talk about and then eventually, yeah, he asked me to play at the Opening Ceremonies because he said he thought that what I do kind of fit in with his vision of what he was trying to say about the UK, which is a very flattering thing to be told, particularly by someone like Danny Boyle.
Trace: Yeah, especially to pretty much represent a whole country!
Frank: Yeah, totally. I mean, I'm really not like a nationalist or a patriot or anything like that, but my kind of blackened, cynical soul was touched a little by it. I mean, it's the only Olympic games in my country in my lifetime. Success in life is fleeting, so when I've been forgotten by history, I'll still have that, you know what I mean? I can take that one home with me.
Trace: Do you give a lot of thought to your legacy?
Frank: I think that's a waste of time. The thing, for me, is to concentrate on writing good songs, playing good shows, and to present what I do in a kind of - I'm weary of using this word - but in an ethical kind of way, you know what I mean? Beyond that, it's kind of like: people can just decide what they think about me in the longterm.
Trace: And it's out of your hands, anyway.
Frank: Exactly. And, also, I think that…anybody who spends their time trying to manage legacy or whatever is sort of…a twat, you know? I do have a certain amount of "live in the present" philosophy going on.
Trace: So, what have you been listening to lately? What's your favorite album right now?
Frank: Right now, to be honest, the main thing i've been listening to is the Jesus Lizard remasters that have just come out. Well, I say just come out, (but) I think they came out last year (and) I've just gotten around to it. Jesus Lizard has always been one of my favorite heavy bands. Michael Azerrad described David Yow as sounding like a kidnap victim singing through duct tape. Fucking great. really love that band. Other than that, there's a guy called Jim Lockey, from the UK, who is - I don't wanna say that he's my protege because it sounds a tiny bit up my own ass, but I sort of discovered him at a festival a few years ago and he's amazing. I'm taking him on tour in November, in the UK, and ideally, I would absolutely fucking love to bring him to the States at some point. You know, he's a fucking genius. His record is out, at the moment, and everyone should listen to it!
Trace: How's it different in the states as opposed to touring at home in the UK?
Frank: Well, there's some differences. I think I'm more kind of associated with the punk scene in this country, you know? Which, I mean, I can outline the reasons why, you know? It has to do with Epitaph and the bands I tour with over here, and, also, in the UK, I kind of - not in a sort of aggressive way - but I sort of slightly took a step away from the punk scene when I started playing this stuff, because I spent years working in it and I felt kind of trapped. But I don't really care, at the end of the day, whether people think that I'm part of the punk scene or not.
Trace: Yeah, I mean, it doesn't really matter!
Frank: Yeah. I mean, I personally feel that my entire outlook on music is based in punk rock but, I mean, if all the time and energy that people have spent arguing about punk could have been used towards, like, researching a cure for cancer or something, the world would be a better place. So, I'm not…I don't want to contribute to that sort of "shitfest" any further. So, there's that.
And, I mean, people travel further in this country. In the UK, if you don't play within 20 minutes of someone's front door, they go "Oh, you're not fucking playing where I live!" and it's just sort of like "Really? You twats!"
You know, I've toured in Russia, Israel, and China and places like that, and with that kind of perspective, I sort of feel like, you know, America, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia…it's all kind of…it's not that different. I mean, everyone speaks English! German people speak better English than I do!
Trace: If you look at the charts at all, there is currently an obvious fixation on electronic music. Coming from rock music, how does this make you feel? Do you feel those two worlds (electronic and rock) are at odds now more than ever?
Frank: Well, maybe. I think I'm going to answer the question in an oblique way. One of the good things about the internet…the internet is a fact. So, I think it's sort of like getting overexcited about downloading being a terrible thing. It's just a waste of time, because it just is. So, you deal with it, you know what I mean? But one of the interesting things about music is that I think music is a lot less monolithic. Prior to the internet being around, I can remember from when I was a kid, basically in the UK, if you got Radio One and NME on your side, you're huge. That's it. And I remember when I was a kid, I used to get like No Idea records catalogs and Initial Records catalogs and I would buy records blind from it, because there was no way of hearing anything on it. So, you know, you read the little descriptions. I used to do that thing with cross-referencing thanks lists in albums. If a band was mentioned in, like, 3 albums I had, it was like - okay! I guess I'll buy something from them. The thing now is that, you know, if I said a band name - Jim Lockey, for example - if you've got internet connection on your phone, you can hear what he sounds like in 30 seconds.
And the cool thing about that is that it means, I think, that basically there's enough space now in the music world for people to get on with whatever the fuck they want to get on with. Do you know what I mean? I'm not really into, like, drum & bass, just to pick a random genre, (but) some of my friends are. I went last year to some parties with some friends of mine in London and there's fucking tons of people there! It's just like "Huh? Who the fuck are these people?"
Trace: Everything has found or is finding its audience, yeah.
Frank: Exactly! And so, on a similar level, I mean, particularly in the UK, like we did Wembley which is like 12,000 - but it's still, I mean, I'm still not, by any stretch of the imagination, a household name in the UK. The reaction a lot of people have to what I do is: people come up to me after shows and go "Fuck! Where did this come from? What the fuck?" And, in a way, I think that's kind of cool. So, I mean, if the kind of "tastemakers" or whatever the fuck they want to call themselves this week, like the magazines or radio are into electronic music right now, that's cool. That's fine! Good luck to you! Carry on! I mean, it's not massively to my tastes, personally. I mean, I went through a massive electro phase when I was younger, but I don't really keep up with it now. I just feel like I don't really need to care. The people who want to listen to the kind of music I make exist and can find it and that's that. That was a long answer!
Trace: Any more personal recommendations?
Frank: You know, I'm so behind the curve on this, but I just discovered The National.
Trace: Fucking amazing!
Frank: Yeah! Fucking incredible. It was one of those things where I actually, the first time around, when they first sort of got successful, they sort of passed me by a bit, but when I was having a long e-mail conversation with a friend of mine, and she started sending me National lyrics…like the one that's like "I haven't changed, you've just raised your standards." I thought "Fuck! That's a knockout lyric right there." And what's the other one? "I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders." That fucker! I want to get inside his brain and steal a bit of it if he comes up with that kind of shit. So, yeah, I mean - there's always cool stuff. I've got the new Off With Their Heads record…
Trace: I love it, man.
Frank: Yeah, I mean there's a degree of egoism in me saying that because Ryan's a good friend of mine, but it's good.
Trace: Anything else you want to say to Atlanta, Georgia?
Yeah! The problem with the statement I'm about to make is it's going to sound like I say this wherever I go and there is no way of me getting out of that, but I really love the south of this country.
Actually, fuck it! Let's get a bit more philosophical about this!
In Europe, in the UK, there is this thing which is this really kind of lazy armchair kind of Anti-Americanism a lot of people have. A lot of it's kind of, you know, people read Chomsky books and then go "Fuck Americans!" And I was completely guilty of that myself when I was a kid, basically before I'd been to America. Now, I've been here a fair amount. I'm hugely into America and American culture. You know, Stephen Fry said "Any statement you could make about America, the exact opposite is also true." And that's an excellent way of looking at it. And, particularly the south, you know, there's a lot of…kind of like…people watch Deliverance or whatever and I remember the first time I came through the South on tour. Actually, in particular: Birmingham, Alabama.
Trace: The Bottletree, right?
Frank: Yeah, but before that. I played at like a rehearsal space or like a warehouse, kinda, with Fake Problems years and years ago. And, everyone's just really fucking nice! And it's just a beautiful part of the world where everyone is really cool and everyone's really enthusiastic about music. It's kind of an eyeopener.
Trace: People are just instantly amazed by anything, so they really support it here.
Yeah, really. I remember the first time I stayed in Birmingham and a guy, who's now a friend of mine, he - I had never met him before - but he was putting me up on tour, and he went and slept in his truck, because he lived in a one room house, and he wanted me to have my own room. I was like "Are you fucking joking?" Everyone is really, really cool. I remember when I did the Bonnaroo festival in 2010 and, actually, that guy and another friend of mine, the 3 of us just got a motel near Bonnaroo and we ended up not really going to the festival at all. We were just driving around Tennessee and having a great fucking time, stopping at diners and all. So, yeah. It's really nice to be here and it's pleasant to find out that, actually, some place is really fucking cool and that the stereotypes are bullshit, basically. So, yes. Hooray for the south!

As she got dressed and composed, and I put away my equipment, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of reception her present would get. Mellissa began licking Grace however, her tongue flicking out rapidly, tickling, teasing, and torturing Grace's pussy, just as William was doing to Mellissa's, not yet slipping inside her. Want to play? I teased.

those are pretty cool, although you'd have thought they'd overdub the actual recordings from that session - the sound in those vids is obviously just the sound the camera mic picked up.
all three songs are kickass though - ITYIWI is one of the best on the album, and i've heard "don't try" is gonna be a b-side for the first single. i hope they put out a recording of "treacle feet" sometime though - anyone else think the first half of it sounded like end hits-era fugazi?
maybe they just played without mic'ing their amps/the drums.. idk. but yeah would have been better with a proper representation of the music.

Police say five Lincoln businesses were hit.
Police say several fake $100 bills were passed around Monday night. One suspect tried to use a bill at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond, but the clerk refused it. However, Famous Footwear, a U–Stop gas station, Toppers Pizza, and a local Walmart all fell victim.
"We're looking for a black female in her 30's, about five foot five inches tall, 160 pounds, with black hair and a noticeable gap between her two front teeth. At times, she was accompanied by a black male, approximately 30 years of age, 6 feet five inches tall with a thin build and a bald head," Officer Katie Flood said.

Japan is still definitely behind when it comes to women's rights, and there's no doubt the police here have displayed a lack of understanding towards rape victims. However, I did not see this as particular article as victim-blaming. It's short and to the point, and to my eyes, very typical of crime reporting here. Most crime reporting is written in a dispassionate, factual way with very little or no commentary- a murder, a hit and run, or a robbery would have received the exact same treatment.
Actually, the Japan Times is rather liberal if you compare it with other newspapers here such as the Yomiuri or Mainichi. But I will turn on the TV tonight after dinner, just to see how the news channels are reporting it, and how the commenters are spinning it.
Every time Obama speaks at one of these events, or hosts a dinner for gay leaders, or issues a proclamation on LGBT pride month, I get so excited, and then there's not so much as a mention of gay issues for another several months, and NEVER any action. I understand that in a lot of ways health care, economic, and environmental concerns are more pressing at the moment, but he needs to at least start moving forward on repealing DADT and DOMA.
Even if it's typical of crime reporting in Japan, it's still victim blaming. The headline and article specifically say that she was killed because she resisted her attacker, implying that if she hadn't fought back then she wouldn't have been killed.
Certainly the quote from the police chief in Bali does essentially say just that, but the headline states it as though it were a fact, and it's not as if the Japan Times provided any other perspective on it in the article.
I also disagree that it's victim-blaming. If it were a common trope to blame victims for resisting attackers it would be one thing, but the common trope is to blame them for not resisting enough.
(There's also nothing in particular is there gendered about this? An armed robbery escalating to murder would not appear to be a gendered crime…)
The Japan Times, just so you know, is an English-only newspaper written for foreigners, not an English-language version of a major newspaper. It's a sometimes-rather-annoying publication low on funds that seems to have some motivation to periodically publish editorials and letters written by foreigners who think they are cool enough to be racist toward other foreigners and tell them they should just suck up whatever problems they have in this country.
I am shocked and sickened by what I have read regarding the rapes in Guinea. I can't quite believe that the whole thing is fabricated as one man in the article said. But some part of me wishes it were so. To believe that once again people can be so full of hatred for women is just beyond me. I don't care if those men were on PCP and LSD. They are very responsible for their own actions. And they all need to be tried for crimes against humanity.
I thought this kind of disgusting behavior might have been curbed by now. This was perpetrated in full view of everyone. I can't imagine. I remember how I felt when I read stories of the horrible crimes that happened in Rwanda and I prayed that it would never happen again. Obviously, this isn't anything on the Rwanda scale… but the cold, hating disregard for human life, well that is on the same scale. And it scares me.
Not just foreigners, but Japanese people learning English (probably a bigger audience too!). It often explains the stark, simple language used to describe complex issues.
I agree this isn't victim-blaming though.
Regarding that sad story about Rika Sano, the Japanese tourist killed in Bali, I found a better article that talks more about the facts surrounding the case. The Japan Online article is the only one I've seen at this time to mention that she fought back and was killed as a result. The others don't.
