'Rebuttal Video' Revealed! The Public Opinion Could be Bullying the T-ARA Members?
By Staff Writer | August 06, 2012 09:32 AM EDT
It has been one week since Core Contents Media CEO Kim Kwang Soo dismissed Hwayoung from the group T-ARA.
Like Us on Facebook
Many incidents have happened throughout the week. An anti-fan cafe called 'T-JinYo' was created and a petition to rally in front of T-ARA's agency was announced as well.
There are 2 sides to this incident.
One side is that the 6 members of T-ARA had bullied Hwayoung.
The other side is that Hwayoung did show some unexpected behaviors that caused her to be terminated from the group. The problems they had as a group are all problems that could be seen in other idol groups as well.
However, with the starts of this 'T-ARA crisis', most people are leaning towards the fact that the 6 members of T-ARA has been bullying Hwayoung.
These people have also posted a video showing clips of the other members bullying Hwayoung, showing that Kim Kwang Soo's statement to be false.
However, the public opinion should not be overlooked too much. It could be that these strong assumptions are in fact 'bullying' the 6 members of T-ARA.
The 'bullying=truth' equation seems a bit misleading. Hwayoung and the other members have not mentioned 'bullying' since this incident occurred. Hwayoung's side has not talked about her being bullied as well. Internet users are even saying that it is because of Kim Kwang Soo that Hwayoung is not talking about it.
T-ARA members and Hwayoung did not bring up the subject of bullying whatsoever. The agency even expressed that these bullying rumors are irrelevant to the situation. But regardless of what they said, internet users continued to post up edited videos, making the T-ARA members 'bullying perpetrators'.
Today, a video showing Hwayoung and the other members being friendly to one another was posted online.
Parties of this case have decided that until the 'bullying rumors' are revealed true, this controversy will continue. They believe that this must come to an end so that this type of situation won't happen again.
However, if they were truly Hwayoung's fans, they would respect her opinion and support her in her future endeavors.

Yahoo Doesn't Take Beef Over Akaushi Keyword Lawsuit
Eric Goldman covers a recent lawsuit where Heartbrand Beef, Inc. sued several companies, including Yahoo, for selling the keyword "Akaushi" to Lobel's of New York. Akaushi is a very expensive Japanese type of beef, known for being marbled with fat and coming out extremely tender.
Lobel's does not sell Akaushi, but Heartbrand is the largest Akaushi cattle company outside of Japan and they felt that Lobel's was being deceitful with their ads at Yahoo. Heartbrand also felt Yahoo allowing the ad "constituted Lanham Act false designation of origin and common law unfair competition," said Goldman.
The court felt the suit did not make sense, they said, "Yahoo! obviously does not fit into these classic models [of false designation of origin] because Yahoo! is not in the business of selling beef." And they reject the claim because "(1) Yahoo doesn't make any "statement" (the advertiser does), and (2) even if Yahoo does make a statement, it's not designating the origin of Yahoo's offerings," said Goldman.
Not everyone agrees with Goldman on Yahoo's victory, for other commentary see Rebecca Tushnet and Ryan Gile.

Northern Lights put on rare display in Cumbrian skies
Last updated at 14:48, Wednesday, 25 April 2012
A rare Northern Lights display in the skies above Cumbria has been caught on camera.
These breathtaking pictures were captured by amateur photographers Ewan Miles, from his home in Geltsdale, near Castle Carrock, and Christine Clark, of Harras Moor in Whitehaven.
Ewan, 25, has long been trying to spot the famous Northern Lights – also known as Aurora Borealis.
Now in his third season as a wildlife guide, working on whale watching tours of the Isle of Mull in Scotland, he had thought his best chance would be further north.
But it was while back home at his parents' house in Geltsdale that his dream came true in the early hours of yesterday – and he still can't believe how much his luck was in.
"I knew there was a few reports so I'd been following it on a few websites. I knew there was a bit of activity on Monday night so I decided to stay up with my camera," he said.
"All you can do is hope for clear skies so I gave it a few hours and was rewarded. The solar activity was so strong it came out really well. The colours and shapes were just so strong, if you looked north and watched you could see the dancing patterns.
"It was incredible to see, especially as a lot of other places in the country were cloudy. I've been very fortunate, especially to see it here in my local area. That makes it extra special for me.
"A lot of people are never fortunate enough to see that sort of thing. It's really weather dependant so I'm just lucky the cloud was on my side."
Ewan, whose dad is local wildlife expert and author John Miles, said Monday night's Aurora was reported be the strongest solar activity in years. It eventually peaked at 2am on Tuesday, when the colours were most vibrant and movement clearly visible.
Ewan said he didn't know whether to wake his family or neighbours but did call two friends round to see the spectacle face to face. Everyone else has been keen to see the stunning photos, which he said were taken on a long exposure to get the full benefit.
The Northern Lights were also visible in other parts of Cumbria, including from the area around Whitehaven.
Christine, 54, also stayed up with her camera in the hope of seeing the lights after seeing reports on Facebook. She was rewarded at about 1am.
Christine and her husband watched on from their back garden while Christine used different photography techniques to capture the best images possible.
The Northern Lights are usually seen in the Arctic Circle but have been visible over parts of the UK in recent days. The bright dancing lights of the Aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The lights, which vary in colour, are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.

Oh Anne, hot chocolate and coffee together? And a movie? I'm not sure if I'd be able to stay awake! The hot chocolate might put me to sleep but the coffee might keep me awake! Sounds delicious anyway :)
That sounds like a nice afternoon, Anne! Chicken! I bet it took less time than our biscuits and gravy. DGS2 wanted hash browns, so he made them! He grated the potatoes and cooked them. Yum.
Oh of course the men showed up for the food, Debra! Especially the old men like Daddy was! He was old and falling apart since I was little. I sure do miss that old thing!
It sounds like you had a great time at Mystic, Barbara! Good for you. No aquarium. That's ok, you had a great time. And I did find the table. I am sorry, I don't mean to give my cleaning bug to everyone else. I did work on my pumpkin wall hanging some before cooking so much biscuits and bacon!
And yes, Missy & Chocolate get along great. Missy is in charge.
~Joyful Hopppy Quilting~
Hi all.
Mary Agnes, Mystic was great. It is a historic village based on the New England seaport with tall ships and the shops that would have been at port. I saw the aquarium but we paid the big bucks to wander around the village instead. We (as in DS and I) walked over to the Thomas Oyster Co.Restaurant for lunch and had some oyster appetizers and a fantastic roasted beet /seared scallop salad.
Hope you gals don't overdo it.My knee is killing me but should be better after a good night's sleep.
I love that Missy & Chocolate like each other. Hope you find your dining room table Froggie. If you keep talking about your cleaning bug, I might have to get busy and clean again.
Take care All.
I have a Husqvarna Huskystar which I had before I got my Janome. I didn't trade it in because there was nothing wrong with it and it is a workhorse on denim and heavy fabrics. Dealer told me they were originally intended for home ec classes because they are pretty well indestructible! I use it instead of my good machine when I'm doing tough thick stuff.
Froggie, the men showed in time to eat. We had a few men there early but none were spring chickens or were worse off that me. The younger ones were there at the end, so I graciously let them take it down, roll them up and load them in the trailer. I thought that was the least that I could do to help them digest all the food.
Anne, I will ask my friend how much and how when see her tonight at Bible Study.
I am working on a scrap quilt. Some pieces were already cut out actually a lot were cut out. I didn't have a pattern but had one in my mind. That is a problem sometimes. lol I have almost 3 rows done. I will post pics when I get a bit more done.
May all your ups and downs be in stitches.
Checking in again!
I had heard Vanilla extract straight up is nastier than that apple cider vinegar. BLAH! My sister in law told me to get an over the counter potassium supplement. She's taking it for her leg cramps, and it's worked. She'll text me later with the amount she takes.
Weather is also over cast here, and I love it! Actually makes me feel more like taking a nap, or reading a good book.
Anne, oven baked chicken and potatoes sounds like the ticket!
I want to go finish this Bionic Gear Bag, and I'm praying this machine can sew over these THICK seams. I think I need a good heavy duty machine to make this bag. When something is too thick to go through, these fancy machines always stop and give an error message. Any ideas on a good sturdy long lasting heavy duty machine?
I haven't heard of taking vanilla extract for leg cramps either, but I have heard it tastes nasty straight up.
I keep finding myself sitting on the couch today. I uploaded a couple of pics to my ancestry account.
Another project tomorrow? I am still trying to make the wall hanging from a couple of weeks ago! I am so behind. That's ok, I will have a full tote soon. I should go through it and see what I have.
I think I will get back to the dining room cleaning, or maybe piecing the wall hanging.

These are the rising stars of 1996
Which names will you hear everywhere in the year ahead? David Benedict canvassed the views of the Independent's critics
Saturday 30 December 1995
Gillian Wearing (above) has yet to have a full-scale solo show, but any curator with an eye on the contemporary scene in 1996 will mention her name at the drop of a hat: they're all after her. Part of the Goldsmiths' school of new British art, Wearing works in video using herself as her central subject matter and, like a lot of women artists of her generation, follows in the footsteps of Cindy Sherman, whose experiments with identity and disguise have made her one of America's best known contemporary artists. Wearing's coup this year was showing her "Western Security" piece about cowboys in the Hayward Gallery's new foyer space.
There are those who consider Jake & Dinos Chapman to be something approaching cowboys, but like them or not - and there are people preparing to mount the barricades on both sides - the brothers are on the edge of making it big. Their work is designed to shock and has certainly done so thus far. Their figures are playful, their humour very boys-own variant. All their art bears witness to their obsession with mixing up periods and genres, and displays incredible craft skills - using sculpture and film - mixed with their particular brand of prurient imagery. So far the brothers have only shown at the gallery of their dealer, Victoria Miro, but they have already established a serious international reputation for themselves and, if our British taste buds can cope with them, are possible contenders for the Turner prize shortlist in 1996.
Georgina Starr has also attracted considerable attention from abroad. At home, she is best known for her video "Crying", in which she sobbed continuously. She also works in multi-media, with photographs, tape and video, while the complex narratives in her work have meant her art appeals widely. "Visit to a Small Planet", currently touring in the British Art Show, recaptures what it's like to be a pre-adolescent. Her work goes on show at the Tate's new Art Now space in February, which should place her firmly on the art map.
In a former life, Philip Osment (right) was an actor with Shared Experience for Mike Alfreds. In the mid-Eighties he turned into a playwright with Gay Sweatshop's runaway success This Island's Mine. Under Osment's own direction, the 45 speaking parts - played by a cast of seven - highlighted his gift for beautifully dovetailed structure and subtle characterisation. After the success of The Dearly Beloved and this year's emotionally eloquent What I Did In the Holidays, next year's Flesh and Blood will be his third play for Mike Alfreds and will tour the country hot on the heels of The Undertaking, another new play for Gay Sweatshop, which should lift that company's recent mixed fortunes.
Alexandra Gilbreath is also going places in more ways than one. She attracted considerable attention as a feisty Regina in Katie Mitchell's RSC production of Ghosts, and then starred as the central character in Phyllis Nagy's acclaimed Disappeared. Jude Kelly's uneven King Lear was notable for Gilbreath's remarkable Regan, a frightening portrait of a woman on the edge of madness. In 1996 she takes on the title role in English Touring Theatre's Hedda Gabler.
James Macdonald has directed countless well-received productions, but his meticulous and startlingly clear direction of new plays - Caryl Churchill's translation of Thyestes, for instance, Nick Grosso's Peaches or Sam Shepard's Simpatico - has so far succeeded in enhancing the reputations of the writers rather than advancing his own career. With The Changing Room in the Royal Court Classics season in February, and Harry and Me at the Royal Court in March, he should finally receive the overdue attention previously accorded to other more flashy directors.
"Nothing short of incredible" is what star American baritone Thomas Hampson called it when, just two weeks ago, on the Monday before Christmas, the 20-year-old Daniel Harding (right) braved a strike-bound Paris to score a standing ovation deputising at short notice for Simon Rattle at the helm of the musical knight's Birmingham band. All the more incredible given that neither work on the programme - Schoenberg's spiky 1942 Piano Concerto and Mahler's massive vocal symphony, Das Lied von der Erde - is exactly standard repertoire even for full-time maestros, let alone a tyro with only two previous orchestral concerts to his cv. But then Harding is no ordinary beginner: Rattle, who took him on as his assistant while he was still a music student in Manchester, has gone on record as stating that his young protege is better than he himself was at the same age. When Harding conducted Boulez's Eclat in London last March, critics compared his economy and precision of technique to that of the French master himself. Now acting as Abbado's assistant in Berlin, Harding is due to celebrate his 21st birthday as he means to go on - conducting (at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw). Definitely a beat to follow for 1996.
Musicians may be getting younger, but, Emma Johnson apart, which BBC Young Musician of theYear has ever become a household name? The stunning cellist and 1994 winner Natalie Clein, 18, should soon remedy that when she delivers a reprise of her heart-tugging, title-snatching Elgar Concerto in a new Channel 4 docudrama, Elgar's Tenth Muse, starring James Fox as the ageing enigma.
It's doubtful if 1996 will do for any of its anniversaried composers - Anton Bruckner (died 1896), Howard Hanson (born the same year), Virgil Thomson (ditto) and Manuel de Falla (died 1946) - what 1995 did for Purcell, but one name worth watching among the living is that of David Sawer. At 34, he's been around, but the CD issue of his 1992 Prom premiere Byrnan Wood should perk up his profile while Sinfonietta and BBC commissions come down the pipeline.
Liv Tyler is a safe bet as a face of 1996, during which she will become more famous for acting than for being the daughter of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. She survived a ropey script for Silent Fall, came into her own in Heavy (released yesterday), and will next be seen in Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty alongside Jeremy Irons. In between fielding business offers from Woody Allen and Tom Hanks (who wants her to appear in his directorial debut), she should find time for more performances as dazzling as Heavy.
Michael Winterbottom (pictured) is hardly a new face to television viewers - having directed Cracker and Roddy Doyle's Family - but now this one- time apprentice to Lindsay Anderson is proving himself capable of setting cinema screens alight, too. He directed Butterfly Kiss this year, eliciting Saskia Reeves's most fearless performance yet, and his version of Jude the Obscure, starring Christopher Eccleston, will be with us in the new year.
The screenplay that Paul Laverty has written for Ken Loach's new film (provisionally called Carla's Song) is drawn from what he saw as a human rights lawyer and investigator in Nicaragua, a post he held for two and a half years. The film tells the story of a Glaswegian bus driver who falls for a young Nicaraguan woman and travels back to her home country with her. Currently shooting in Glasgow and Nicaragua, the film should see Laverty attract the success that his talent and commitment deserve.
If you were unlucky enough to see Cocktail you'll recognise Elisabeth Shue, but nothing can prepare you for her performance as a Vegas prostitute who falls for suicidal alcoholic Nicholas Cage in Mike Figgis's new film Leaving Las Vegas. Shue is raw and moving; the film feels like an announcement of her arrival. She has already won the Los Angeles Film Critics' Award for Best Actress, and an Oscar must surely be within sniffing distance.
Raissa (above) haven't released a thing yet, but their debut gig in darkest Harlow in early 1995 was a stark, urgent affair which proved they could carry off their sparky melodies on stage. Singer Rice's out- of-body vocals are just the icing on a very rich cake. There are echoes of dub, trip-hop, bubblegum pop and the Cocteau Twins. But what matters most is that Raissa write tunes that are harder to shake than cold sores. Their first single, "Your Summertime", is out early February; they have recorded their album with Mark Saunders, who co-produced Tricky's Maxinquaye, the album of this year; they play live at London's LA2 on 26 January. And, frankly, your life is incomplete without them.
In all the Britpop hoo-hah, The Bluetones were rather forgotten, confused with the insipid Cast and caught up in a strange sub-mod movement. In fact, their songs are carefully crafted pop gems, from the gorgeous "Blutonic" to the bouncy, irresistibly catchy new single "Slight Return" (released in January). The latter should win them untold acclaim and riches - if the album's half as good, it will be one of the year's essential purchases.
It was a good year for 60 Ft Dolls. A place on the NME's Brat Bus tour, a support slot for the Boo Radleys (who they blew clear out of the water, no trouble) and every hint of rock 'n' roll behaviour relayed to adoring fans by a salivating music press. And 1996 will be better. This Newport band fly the punk flag but their songs - "Happy Shopper", about a tough transvestite, and "Pig Valentine", a dig at Saturday night clubbers - are too dotty to be nailed to any one genre.
American Joan Osbourne is a complex derivative of her times and place. There are hints of Bonnie Raitt about her mannered, bluesy rasp, and her rhythm section is tuned for the roadhouse, yet virtually all the material on her debut album (out this spring on Mercury) is shot through with the kind of off-kilter, art-house theatricality that makes "alternative" such a popular word in American mainstream culture. Watch out for dates next month.
And watch out for:
actingJUSTIN WEBB
The Royal Ballet has so far failed to capitalise upon Cooper's talent, which shone forth when he nipped away to star in Matthew Bourne's hugely theatrical Swan Lake. Next year it tours the country, which will make him a nationwide, fully fledged star.
ITV's McCallum may not prove to be the vehicle that propels him into the hearts and minds of the nation, but Hannah is set for great things after splendid work in Four Weddings and a Funeral and as a member of the Steve Coogan repertory company.
With his Fifties matinee-idol looks, Webb represents the softer face of BBC interviewing. He recently progressed from the cornflake run to reading the main evening news and now looks set to take political confrontation into a gentler era after the Paxman years.

Why always Lewis?
Lewis Hamilton drives back to the pits with his car on fire Lewis Hamilton has been dogged by uncanny bad luck this season, another one in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying where he failed to complete a lap as fire engulfed the rear of his Mercedes, foring him to bail out of the car and ending his session on the spot. The Briton, who along with Michael Schumacher has won more grands prix in Budapest than any other driver, was left musing what might have been as he had set the pace all weekend, but instead of him starting from pole position it will be his teammate and title rival Nico Rosberg. The following is a synopsis detailing Hamilton's Formula 1 ups and downs that he has endured so...

Poverty poll
Poverty in J'lem 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
Despite impressive GDP growth and record low unemployment rates over the past
few years, the government has failed to significantly reduce the number of
households living under the poverty line or to alleviate the tremendous gaps
between the rich and poor.In recent weeks, we have received reminders
that too many Israel have been left unaffected by our robust economy's
advances.First, there was the National Insurance Institute's annual
poverty report, released at the end of November, which found that in 2011 almost
a fifth of all households were living under the poverty line, defined as half
the median disposable income per household.Most shocking, perhaps, was
the fact that 20 percent of households in which at least one person worked were
poor. Before factoring in various welfare benefits, the poverty rate was 32.8%,
up slightly from 2010.Next came the Alternative Poverty Report published
this week by Latet, an organization that helps needy families. Based on
responses from 675 people who receive aid from NGOs and from 500 members of the
general public, Latet's survey found that one out of five children was forced to
drop out of school to help support his family. Ten percent of children of
impoverished families have begged for money on the streets over the past year
due. Overall, 27% of children have experienced full days without
food.Then on Tuesday, the National Council for the Child released data
showing that 905,000 children lived in poor households in 2011. This makes up
35.6% of the children in Israel. A full 65.8% of Arab children live under the
poverty level, nearly three times the proportion of Jewish children
(24.2%).For some time now, Israel's poverty rates have been
significantly higher than in any other developed country.In 2011, Israel
had the highest poverty rate of all OECD countries except Mexico, though the US,
Italy and Ireland came close to the Israeli level.The reasons for our
high levels of poverty are well known. We have a very heterogeneous population.
A large proportion of Israelis were either refugees themselves or are children
of refugees who fled persecution.Many came from relatively poor,
backward societies.And Arabs and haredim have disproportionately high
levels of unemployment.Based on international assessment exams, our
educational system is failing to prepare the next generation for an increasing
competitive, knowledge-based work environment. Haredi boys, who make up a
growing share of the school-age population, are not being taught English, math
or sciences and are, therefore, unprepared for the job market, even if they were
not prevented from working because they refuse to perform mandatory military
service.In addition, entire sectors of the economy – building,
agricultural, in-home nursing – rely almost entirely on foreign workers. Large
segments of society – particularly the less educated – find it difficult to find
employment.A lack of fair competition in the business sectors results in
a large amount of economic power concentrated in the hands of a few. The top 10
business concerns traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange make up 41% of the total
market capitalization, much higher than in other developed
economies.These socioeconomic ailments and others need to be addressed
before we can take steps toward eradicating the unacceptably high level of
poverty in Israeli society.The timing of the publication of these
reports all pointing to the same underlying problem is auspicious.In
just over a month, Israelis go to the polls to elect the 19th Knesset. Unlike
previous Knesset votes, which were dominated almost entirely by military and
diplomatic concerns, the present campaign has seen a higher level of public
awareness of the importance of socioeconomic issues.According to the
Latet survey, 75% of respondents said socioeconomic malaise represents a greater
threat to Israel's well-being than does Iran. In the coming weeks during which
Israelis have the undivided attention of politicians vying for votes, we should
demand coherent programs for the eradication of poverty.Political
parties that provide coherent solutions have earned our vote; those that do not
should be punished at the polls.

'Hell Freezes Over' CC, Retaliation fic
Title: "Hell Freezes Over"
by: AngmarBucket
Characters: The Cobra Commander, some Firefly and Destro
Summary: Wherein we see what kind of physical and psychological effects the secret prison might have on its most notorious inmate. No one can endure such extreme conditions unscathed...
Logically, he knew he could not be cold. His suit was insulated and specifically designed to protect his body from freezing to death in the icy water of his stasis tank. Physically, his body was incapable of becoming cold. It was kept at a perpetually warm temperature, approximately 70 degrees, with only a small margin of variance. As long as he was in this prison, and in the special suit his captors had equipped him with, he would never, purely technically, be in physical discomfort.
Yet he was cold. He felt it every day, as it creeped into his body--or rather, he felt it through this single, never-ending moment that stretched behind and before him without beginning o
Don't Listen to Labels--Spain x Child!Male!Reader
Antonio sat in the park, his back against the tree as he tied blades of grass into knots. He was tired of all the labels that were put on him. Just because he raised and cared for Romano, doesn't mean that's he's a pedophile! Sometimes he wished he could just disappear. Whether they were jokes or not, they still hurt him. He loves children! They're wonderful and delightful to be around.
Suddenly a soccer ball rolled towards him. Turning his head, he saw a small group of children. After a few moments, the youngest walked towards him. Smiling, he waved at the Spaniard, who waved back.
"H-HI! Sorry for disturbing you....but can we have the ball back?" Antonio smiled and handed the boy the ball. Giving him a quick thanks, he turned to go back to his friends. But...he paused. Looking back at Antonio, and then back at his friends, he sighed. Waving goodbye to Antonio, he went back to his friends. After the game started up again, the Spaniard decided he had better find somewhere e
HPM: The 30thIt was the dark ages. It was the day plumes of smoke and ash commanded the skies. Pyroclastic flows snuffing out thousands of lives on one mighty gulp! It was, oh how it was! It was the darkest of days! The blackest, the most void of hope! Where was the sun!? Where was the joy of laughter!? Where was her youth?
There a body lay flattened on a bed of smooth shimmering sheet. The head which bore red eyes laid to its side as fingers played with subtle winkles in the fabric, chasing each wave of reflection till it ebbed or caught in shadows.
Around her body was a subtle yellow stola with loose fabric that did not hug her frame, and a loosely wrapped palla. Yes, she had chosen a feminine garb for the historical competition that had plagued the islands with worthless, and unrealistic, toga parties. Why, if they had all stripped naked and sped to the arena she would have found their antics somewhat more tolerable, if not just due to an accurate portrayal of ancient culture.
Supple lips pulled
genderless gingerbread figuresI was three times three years old and had three freckles on the bridge of my nose. My brother was three years into primary school and had just learnt his three times tables. Our parents had recently divorced and our father took us to the fairground to meet his new girlfriend.
My brother wouldn't ride on the teacups with me because they were 'too girly', so I rode on them alone. I loved the teacups best of all because they made me feel really small, like Thumbelina trapped in a human's china cabinet. I was bigger than my brother, with a belly starting to hang over my jeans like cake batter slipping over the rim of a mixing bowl, but spinning in a large pink cup with the world swirling into pastels like smudged chalk all around me, I felt as free and light as a dandelion seed being blown into oblivion. The nausea made me smile and I chastened the squeals of delight that threatened to escape, swallowing them down with gulps of air.
My brother rode on a 'boy
~Help me with title~ (vent/mixed emotions)There is a young mid 20s lady who lives with her beautiful tri-lingual mother and three pets. This family used to be very very rich until about 4 years ago. For 4 years this family has been suffering with bad financial problems, even at times they can't afford food for themselves. The young lady has over several degrees just like her mother, but sometimes they can't find anything.
For the past couple of week the mid 20s year old lady and her mother were arguing, fighting, yelling at each other, plus at times smacking each other. The young lady doesn't know what to do anymore as she is shaking, crying, and having a big meltdown... The mother on the other hand is just yelling, screaming, saying bad words in Spanish and making the young lady scared of her.
This same lady is scared, shaking and doesn't know what to do anymore.. at times she feels like she doesn't exist.
Oh How She WondersShe wants to go to somebody, it's strange she's never needed to before. Her names Araya and she had meet her biological father about two in a half years ago, she was only
14, and her birthday was in two weeks. It was his birthday when she met him, she was the present if a lifetime.
A few months pasted and everything was great but she had a weird feeling, one she shouldn't take. But she did one night when he showed the same feelings, he said he was scared and she said she was too because "It would be weird." But once they were all on the same page everything was okay, exciting and gay.
She took up on an offer she should have never done and kept an intimate relationship with him. She promised not to cheat but it was hard to be in a relationship she couldn't show. It killed her inside. And she dated a guy her age, broke her dads trust. She was never to do it again. Never to go out from under his wing again. And she didn't; at least for a little while.
About 8 months after being clea
Late Bloomer (OOOOOOOLD)"What's the point?!" I screamed, throwing the item I had been holding in my hand roughly against the wall, causing a shattering sound reciprocate. I turned on my heel quickly and glared daggers into the individual standing across from me, tears streaming down my face. I fell to my knees, "What's the point?" More gently this time. I looked up, seeing he had crouched down next to me. "I've broken..."
I jolted up suddenly, causing him to pull back quickly, realization washed over me, I was overwhelmed by the raw emotion of this very moment, the epiphany... It all became clear, the world seemed pointless. Nothing could save me in this mess we call life, nothing, he was gone and would never come back. I looked across the room, horror filled my facial features, I ran and picked up a photograph, what I had thrown. "No." I held it close to my chest, letting the tears come, "What has happened to me? What has happened to life?" I just kept questioning and questioning myself... Although the answe

White Sox shopping Dayan Viciedo and Alejandro De Aza
Dec 7, 2012, 10:15 AM EDT
Gavin Floyd has been rumored to be available in trades all offseason and now Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports that the White Sox are also shopping outfielders Dayan Viciedo and Alejando De Aza.
According to Gonzales they're looking for either a big left-handed bat or prospects. He says the Mariners were interested in Viciedo, at least before they signed Jason Bay, and the Reds are looking at De Aza as a potential leadoff man/center fielder solution.
It'll be interesting to see what type of value the White Sox could get for Viciedo, because while he's still just 23 years old and smacked 25 homers this season it's not clear where he fits defensively long term and that power came with a terrible .300 on-base percentage and 120/28 K/BB ratio. He was a below-average hitter overall, producing a .744 OPS.

Reds are looking for a potential lead off/ CF solution???
What about Billy Hamilton?
- Chip Caray's Eyebrows - Dec 7, 2012 at 11:04 AM
They're probably looking for a solution that's ready to play in the bigs. Hamilton isn't quite there.
- knowlegeforyou - Dec 7, 2012 at 11:03 AM
bmac, francisco, and gilmartin for De Aza work then the braves could sign AJ and ruin all the Yankees chances of competing.
- askyeshua - Dec 7, 2012 at 11:05 AM
Oh boy, that would be a big loss for the Sox. De Aza is one of their best players!
- card0109 - Dec 7, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Hopefully the Twins are looking into Viceido. They could now use a CF who hits home runs and we have plenty of left handed bats to trade. Trade Morneau plus a few prospects? Lord knows we have enough of them.
- Alex K - Dec 7, 2012 at 11:45 AM
If you think Viciedo could play center you're crazy. The guy can barely handle left!
- jwbiii - Dec 7, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Viciedo has the glove for DH, but not the bat.
- weaselpuppy - Dec 7, 2012 at 1:15 PM
where exactly would Morneau play with Konerko and Dunn already there…..and no, Dunn is not an OF anymore…
- hisgirlgotburrelled - Dec 7, 2012 at 12:30 PM
You'd think De Aza and Viciedo are the ones they're keeping and that they're shopping Alex Rios. Doesn't make much sense to shop 2 good players under control for quite a few years.
Much rather the Phillies had traded for De Aza (of course it might cost more) than Revere.
- weaselpuppy - Dec 7, 2012 at 1:17 PM
so, they lose Youk and Pierzinski and are going to see Konerko continue to decline….and they want to dump more hitters? Young ones at that?
- 1stbaseman44 - Dec 7, 2012 at 1:53 PM
hope the reds work out a trade for both. leadoff hitter and 4 hole hitter in you trade. in gabp Viciedo will hit 35-40 homers
- jwbiii - Dec 7, 2012 at 7:30 PM
GABP isn't much more homer-friendly than The Cell.
- ame123 - Dec 7, 2012 at 2:09 PM
Viciedo looks like a solid Platoon guy. Over 1.000 OPS against lefties. Instead of spending money on Ludwick or Ross, teams should instead trade for this dude and save $20 mil.

ATLANTA - When ticks caused an outbreak of Rocky Mountain spotted fever at an American Indian reservation in Arizona, the nation's premier health agency called the Orkin Man.
Why? The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Arizona health department didn't have enough money and manpower to fight the bloodsucking insects on their own.
But the federal health agency knew Orkin Pest Control — known for the Orkin Man, the tough, armor-clad exterminator featured in its TV commercials — could donate services that dwarfed what the health departments could spend on the outbreak.
In recent years, the CDC and other health agencies have been turning to pest control companies like Atlanta-based Orkin and Memphis-based Terminix International Co. to contribute expertise and resources in emergencies nationwide. By doing so, Orkin gets access to the latest scientific information from the federal agency. In return, the CDC is able to tap into resources it doesn't have and can pass health messages through Orkin's employees.
"It's gotten to the point that whenever we have a large issue ... we ask for their assistance," said CDC spokeswoman Abigail Tumpey about Orkin. "We basically speak with them practically once a month."
Orkin donated its services in the Arizona outbreak, sending out its chief entomologist and a crew of technicians. Orkin provided tick control to more than 350 affected homes, treated another 1,000 homes with chemicals, passed out 2,000 tick collars for dogs and taught four reservation members pest control methods.
"If they charged for their services, it would have come close to $200,000," Tumpey said of the April 2005 outbreak. "That basically tripled the amount of resources we were able to pour into the reservation, which was huge."
Although the federal agency has closely worked with the private sector in the past, CDC chief Julie Gerberding pushed to have the agency's divisions actively look for partnerships on health matters after she took over the agency in July 2002, said Lisa Koonin, the CDC's chief of public and private partnerships.
"We think it's a good way to amplify health," Koonin said.
Orkin's relationship with the CDC developed in 2004 as the West Nile virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, spread across the U.S.
"We sought them out," said Orkin spokeswoman Martha Craft. "Our customers were asking our technicians about the West Nile virus ... but we didn't feel like we were in the best place to give out information. They liked the idea" of teaming up to provide the public with up-to-date information on the virus.
The company doesn't write off its donated services on its tax returns but considers them instead as a "normal business expense," Craft said.
"The reason we did those things was because CDC asked us to and that's part of the collaboration," she said. "We have expertise that they don't have and they have expertise that we don't have."
Philip Tierno, director of clinical microbiology at New York University Medical Center, said the efforts of pest control companies toward improving health benefit the public, even if many employees of those companies do not have formal training in public health.
"They're exercising their prowess for issues in their domain — ticks, controlling vermin and rodents — that's fine and excellent," said Tierno, author of the 2004 book, "The Secret Life of Germs." "It's good to have private companies do things like this ... it's sort of a giveback to society."
After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf coast in 2005, Terminix provided rodent and mosquito control in affected areas and Orkin has worked with the CDC to eliminate mold and termites in damaged homes in New Orleans. Orkin also has helped the CDC control mosquitoes at an Indian reservation in Nevada and reduce hantavirus cases in Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico by shrinking the population of rodents, which transmit the disease. Terminix has also fought the rise of bedbugs across the U.S. and fire ants from California to Kentucky.
Much like the cadre of scientists the CDC deploys in health emergencies, Orkin has its own rapid response team of experts to handle outbreaks when the federal health agency requests assistance.
"The general public may not connect the two — pest control with protecting their health, but I guarantee that ... anybody who's had fire ants, bees or wasps, or rodents in their homes, they're very concerned about their health," said Stoy Hedges, Terminix entomologist and director of technical services.
Orkin has other ties with public health. Since 1992, family members from Orkin's parent holding company Rollins, Inc. have donated nearly $20 million for the Rollins School of Public Health at Atlanta's Emory University. Orkin president Glen Rollins said his grandfather, O. Wayne Rollins, made the initial gift to highlight the link between his company's work and good health.
"In the couple decades since that gift, I think people really see that connection," he said. "People are realizing that rodents and insects spread disease."

If you work in corp office or reg office you have it made enjoy you 8-10 hour days and 4-5 day work week but remember the ones that are in the field and don't get to see there families but maybe once a weekCons
sodexo is a company that will chew you up and spit you out. I am a chef that worked for Sodexo in Health care and in Schol services, when I worked for the health care aspect I worked 70 hours a week and had many compliments from my boss during my first eval my boss looked at my pay scale and said you make 10k less than other chefs doing your same job let me see if we can do anything about that I said that would be great he came back to me 3 weeks later and said that he could do nothing about my pay but annual raises of 5% no more it was policy or I could quit for 6 months and maybe come back and then I could start at the proper amount i not being able to do that was hurt but I continued working for my anual raises and did well meeting budgets and again getting may compliments from client, and supervisors alike, I then took a job with in Sodexo hoping to raise my income, I was told that I would make a little more when I took the job I was not informed that the GM was waiting for me to hier my Employees because she could not be bothered with doing interviews before I started I started 3 weeks before the start of the School year and was short 18 fultime out 0r 30 employees that I was to somehow hier, train, and evaluate not to mention that no one was apply because of the reputation that the Gm had in the area for temper tantrums I was short the whole year some weeks working all night over night 72 hours going home to shower and come back I rearly got a weekend off and was not able to allow my fellow supervisors to monitir kitchen staff. after a year there I left I worked too darn much never saw my kids
Sodexo has a lot of programs that are to help you with a work life balance but you are never alllowed to use them unless you are "high up on the food Chain" Sodexo treats any one who dose not report to corporate or reg. office as if they do not matter. Sodexo says a lot about fairness but dose little to back it up They have many unfair pay practices it would have been nice to take a vacation or sick day and not have to be avali. by phone. The Corp Office VP's ETC are aware of everything I said above and could care less just don't stop the Booze or the Golf its all they care aboutAdvice to ManagementAdvice
If you work in the corp or reg. office you have it made if you do not you will be treated like a dish rag. GMs will scream at you for doing your job, you will work some times 72 hours straight and you will never have a day that last less than 16 hours my GM used to tell me when I worked a 12 hour day so you are going to make up the rest tomorrow right? and no they were not jokingNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Topic: Drought Tolerant
Title: Drought and Fire Resistant Plants for Round Top, Texas
Answered by: Mike Tomme
QUESTION:Dear Mr. Smarty Pants Do you have any advice on plants which are drought tolerant and fire resistant for a central Texas location near Round Top Texas? Thanks
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service has a website that makes recommendations on protecting against wildfire in north Texas and Oklahoma that includes recommended plants. Several of the plants they recommend are native to Fayette County. Here are a few:
Large Trees:
Celtis occidentalis (Common hackberry)
Gleditsia triacanthos (Honey locust)
Quercus shumardii (Shumard oak)
Quercus virginiana (Coastal live oak)
Liquidambar styraciflua (Sweetgum)
Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore)
Medium trees:
Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii (Western soapberry)
Diospyros virginiana (Common persimmon)
Cornus florida (Flowering dogwood)
Cercis canadensis (Eastern redbud)
Ostrya virginiana (Eastern hop-hornbeam)
Magnolia grandiflora (Southern magnolia)
Callicarpa americana (American beautyberry)
Sambucus nigra ssp. canadensis (Common elderberry)
You can go through this list and pick plants that will do well in your specific sun, soil and moisture conditions.
Because these plants are native to your area, they are going to be drought resistant. However, no plant is drought resistant until it is established, so plan on providing supplemental water until you've got it up and going.

Willie Nelson has a stolen armadillo on his mind

The search is on for music legend Willie Nelson's stolen armadillo.
According to USA Today, shortly after Nelson's recent concert ended at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y., someone sneaked onto stage and made off with the band's unofficial mascot: A stuffed armadillo named Ol' Dillo.
Surveillance video shows a woman casually walking onto the stage, grabbing Ol' Dillo and then walking off, even talking to a security guard on her way out.
Nelson camp took to the singer's Facebook page to ask fans to help in finding the thief.
Ol' Dillo belongs to one of Nelson's sound engineers, travels with the band and even sits onstage during concerts.
