A jeweler is suing rapper Rick Ross for absconding with about $90,000 worth of Rolexes that he didn't pay for. According to reports, Rick Ross bought 3 diamond Rolexes from a famous hip hop jeweler in Texas last year and still hasn't paid for it.
Johnny's Custom Jewelery tells TMZ they delivered one 18K gold watch with 30CT of diamonds ($55,000), one 18K gold watch with 7CT of diamonds ($14,000), and one two-tone watch with 5CT of diamonds ($14,000) to Maybach Music last August but Rick Ross never paid up.
Johnny's Custom is suing Rick Ross and Maybach Music for the total amount due plus interest.

I've been working with Java for a dozen years now, actually more. I don't really want to learn another language, or forget one. I've already forgotten perl too many times. But the problem is that I actually do need to learn another language. Java just doesn't do everything for me.
For example, when I need to process a huge log file and write some data to another file, I don't really want the overhead of writing in Java. What I want is to scribble something out and run it. I might keep the script around, but I might throw it away too. I need another tool. Perl once did this for me, once long ago. Then for whatever reason, I didn't need it anymore. Now I need it again, but remembering how many times I've forgotten perl, I'm thinking maybe there's a better language. Maybe there's something that I can actually remember from week to week as my infrequent needs call upon it.
I've been thinking about a few language options:
- Python
- Ruby
- Bash
- JavaScript
I've only read the introduction sections of books about Ruby and Python. Python just irks me with its dependence on space. I'm sure that's a frequent complaint. For those who overcome that somewhat petty problem, the language seems to satisfy. But something about those procedures and method with __something__ surrounded with those underscore characters. Come on, what's up with that? But the things that really do appeal to me about Python are the general ideas that explicitness is better that obscurity, that one common way is better than a dozen equally flexible ways, and that there is a best way to do something….well, those ideas are comfortable and appealing.
Ruby is fully object-oriented, and it actually does read nicely. I'm also interested in multiple spoken languages, character sets, etc., and I'm not sure whether it fully embraces Unicode as it's character set. Maybe there are ways to make it work with UTF-8, but I haven't quite advanced that far.
Bash? Uh no.
So what are your ideas about a general purpose scripting language? Is perl still the best choice for system work, moving files around, parsing out some key values and writing them elsewhere? Did you move to Python and finally just accept the annoying white space issue? Or is Ruby a good tool for me. What do you know about these? Any suggestions?

Brian Michael Bendis new Invincible Iron Man #1 adds a new taboo topic for a first date: Developing a cure to the mutant gene. This immediately raises the issue it would become a law, injecting politics into a date (another taboo). Dr. Amara Perera admits the horror of her cure and that it would be like trying to cure Judaism (adding religion into a first date, another taboo). Since this date is with Tony Stark, sex is eluded to, completing the dating no-no topic discussions.
Dating best practices aside, would it be legal to force people to take a cure for the mutant gene? The answer is surprisingly maybe…
Governments have a rational interest in protecting the public health. This is a legitimate police power.
Puberty is hard enough, so turning into an armadillo or flying lizard is just adding insult to teenage injury. Furthermore, governments have an interest in protecting students (and the public) from dangers, such as kids who cannot control deadly lasers shooting out of their eyes.
Is there any precedent that the government could use to justify having people take a "cure" to the mutant gene?
Many states require mandatory vaccinations to attend public schools. While parents might insist they have a God-given right based on pseudo-science for their children to contract Polio and kill a generation of Americans, this is not the majority view (Exhibit A is we have not had a Polio epidemic thanks to vaccinations).
The state of West Virginia requires children entering a state-regulated school to produce a certificate that they have been immunized against chickenpox, hepatitis B, measles, meningitis, mumps, diphtheria, polio, rubella, tetanus and whooping cough. W. Va. Code § 16-3-4(b). New York takes it to another level and places the responsibility on the parents that any child born after January 1, 1994 be immunized against poliomyelitis, mumps, measles, diphtheria, rubella, varicella, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pertussis, tetanus, pneumococcal disease, and hepatitis B. NY CLS Pub Health § 2164(a).
States have a facially strong argument that immunizing children against the mutant gene in order to attend public schools is for public safety. The United States Supreme Court has held since 1905 that mandatory vaccinations are within the State's police power. Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905) 197 U.S. 11. We do not want the public dying horrible deaths from diseases, thus require vaccines.
There is a giant problem with the argument for forcing children to be vaccinated against the mutant gene in order to attend school: it is based on race and eugenics, not preventing the spread of disease. It is one thing for everyone student to be vaccinated, it is another to target an entire race because of their DNA.
Vaccination cases have not been held to the strict scrutiny standard. From Jacobson in 1905, which addressed people over age twenty-one being required to be vaccinated against small pox or be criminally prosecuted, to vaccinating children in New York who attend public school, all of these cases were decided within a State's police power. Phillips v. City of New York (2d Cir. 2015) 775 F.3d 538, 542, fn. 5.
Race based legislation is held to strict scrutiny. If racial classifications are explicit, there is no requirement to analyze the legislative purpose of the law. However, facially neutral laws warrant strict scrutiny when motivated by racial purpose or unexplainable on grounds other than race. Hunt v Cromartie (1999) 526 US 541.
Specifically requiring children with the mutant gene arguably could subject the law to strict scrutiny, because the law would be targeted specifically at children with mutant DNA and not the public as a whole. While mandatory vaccinations are not targeted to specific racial groups, vaccinating children with mutant DNA would be on race (Homo Superior, opposed to Homo Sapien).
Strict scrutiny analysis examines the 1) character of classification in question; 2) individual interests affected by classification; and 3) governmental interests asserted in support of classification.
As to the first point, the classification is for anyone with mutant DNA; 2) the individual interests are that the individual is forced to take medication in order they do not mutate as they get older; and 3) the government interest is to ensure there are not super-powered individuals endangering the public (namely other students in public schools).
There is a good chance mutant vaccinations could NOT survive strict scrutiny, but there is no question the vaccination is not to stop the spread of disease, but the speculative injury to students in the future if their classmates can breathe fire, spit venom, or throw a bus into the pool.
If the "cure" were expanded to adults who had already mutated, that would be different than the State interest in protecting the public as a legitimate police power. It would be the equivalent of gun confiscation of law-abiding citizens or bringing back Prohibition in order to stop drunk driving. Just because someone had the ability to fly, does not mean they will use for ill intent.
In a world with mutants, those with powers might be viewed as those who are athletes or excel from other gifts. There is no way to "equalize" the population so everyone is the same, only that they have the same opportunities to advance. Whether or not it would be legal to impose a cure to the mutant gene might one day be decided by a fictional court, but unlikely one in the real world.

So, if you were placed on a team to develop a billboard for Jesus, what ideas would you have? We've all seen the occasional billboard that gets purchased along the highway with a toll free number or web site listed…some fairly clever, some borderline offensive. What would you want to say?
Guess what? You and I are billboards every day! Our lives are either evidence of our rhetoric or not. What's the messaging of our life? What does our life say with our words, but more importantly our actions?
Think about it but consider this little gem out of 2 Corinthians 2 – "We are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved…"
I look forward to seeing each of you at California Dreaming (Old Peachtree Rd. & I85 exit 109) this Friday and every Friday from 6:30am to 7:30am for MEN STEP UP!

What's in a Hit Song?
What is the first thing that comes to mind when we hear a new hit song? Maybe there are some of us who know the elements of music well enough to understand the basics; on the other hand, we are still left in the dark regarding the creative methods the individual artist uses to craft their hits.
"Somebody" Single Released
The Chainsmokers just released another single on April 20th, "Somebody." The single drew lots of attention coming on the heels of another released (January 17, 2018) single off their Disruptor Records label, "Sick Boy." Both "Sick Boy" and "Somebody" was released with videos. According to Taggart and Pall, the process of the two songs was produced with a different message in mind.
Two Songs Linked
In one tweet explaining the meaning os "Somebody" as "talks about the struggle and importance of staying true to yourself while everyone else around you is focused on surrounding themselves with material objects." On the other hand, the previous single, released 90 days earlier, the message for "Sick Boy" was "a song about self-identity in today's world and standing tall in the face of what you can and can't control." The spectrum is broad and deep, ranging from self-identity versus materialism to maintaining belief in oneself while displaying pride, confidence, and fortitude.
"Somebody" "instructional video" Released
Drew Taggart and Adam Pall released a shorter "in-house" studio video for "Somebody," which was meant to be an instructive video. Taggart turns to Pall, while pulling from a smartphone recording of the original "Somebody" melody, that it was originally a few semitones lower than the final version. Taggart immediately plays the melody transposed with the other instrumentation.
The Chainsmokers (2012)
The EDM-Pop duo have been turning out Billboard hits like "Closer," "Don't Let me Down," and now "Somebody," which reached #5 on the Billboard "Bubbling under Hot 100 Singles." Taggart and Pall promised their fans another video explaining in more detail some exciting footage about the "Official" video. In a few hours a video was uploaded which was the work of a long time collaborator of the Chainsmokers, Rory Kramer. The Kramer Vision Video was released on June 9th, as promised by Taggart and Pall earlier to their fans.

text: Womens-Issues A fibroid diet is one which is tailored to meet the specific needs of women who have symptoms caused by their fibroids. We all know the importance of healthy eating and this is particularly significant for women with this condition. There are also guidelines for items which should be both included and excluded for a fibroid diet. The reason why fibroids are so difficult to treat is because of their very nature. Fibroids are not caused by an infection or disease, both of which can be relatively easily treated by medication, but are thought to be caused by lifestyle. Having said this, doctors still do not unanimously agree on the exact causes but there is general agreement on the following points:- * Fibroids are affected by estrogen levels and grow more when there is an abundance of this hormone * Fibroids are much more common in Afro Caribbean women * Women in their mid-thirties onwards are more likely to suffer from fibroids * Fibroids are more common in overweight women * There is a genetic connection-fibroids tend to run in families * There is a definite sensitivity to environmental chemicals and fibroids have been known to grow in response to certain toxins which mimic the effect of estrogen * Fibroids seem to be more common in women who have a tendency to inflammatory condition When conventional treatments for fibroids are used, such as removal of the individual fibroids or reducing their size by surgically blocking the blood vessels, the fibroids are very likely to return. When you consider the factors which we do know about fibroids, it is easy to understand why this is. These standard treatments take no account of what may have caused the fibroids and so they will simply grow back. A fibroid diet looks at the general causes of fibroids and takes these factors into account. One of the most important aspects of a fibroid diet is to look at ways of naturally reducing estrogen levels. A simple way of doing this is to ensure that a healthy weight is maintained as fat cells are known to be one of the ways that the body produces estrogen. Another way to reduce estrogen is to undergo a liver detox. This works by getting rid of environmental chemicals which are stored in the liver and some of which can mimic the action of estrogen. Eating a generally healthy diet which is low in fat and which concentrates in organic foods which are produced without hormones, pesticides, chemicals or additives is also known to be beneficial. In addition, you should avoid artificial sweeteners, caffeine and processed foods. In addition to eating a diet which helps with fibroids, certain herbs and foodstuffs are thought to both ease the symptom and help to shrink fibroids. These include motherwort, cleavers ,eaves, prickly ash bark, ginger root and red raspberry leaf. About the Author: Infertility and surrogacy We all dream for our ideal life partner.

Easter is one of the most popular festivals across the United States.
Going back to history, we find that Easter did not enjoy the status of a popular festival in the hearts of the early settlers in the US. The main reason behind this was most of these settlers were Puritans, who did not believe in ceremonies related to religious festivals. People in certain parts, in fact, discouraged Easter celebrations. Many of the customs associated with the celebration of Easter go back to the ancient celebrations of spring.
It was only after the Civil War that Easter and its importance came to be felt in America just like in Europe. It was the initiative of the Presbyterians.
But after the Civil War, especially in the south, with loved ones dead or maimed, possessions gone, and future bleak, people found the story of Christ's resurrection a source of comfort, love, and hope.
Just as it remains today. He is risen. Hallelujah!
Shed the dark, heavy clothes of winter and don yourself in light, bright colors. Hide the eggs and play with the baby chickens and ducks and rabbits. It's a new day. A happy day. With a bright future.
Happy Easter Ya'll!!

Food wars: A new hope
Food wars: A new hope
Budget prevents food bans based on size, nutrition
Waukesh Freeman June 27, 2013 Page A6 Opinion
Some good news. The state budget is almost complete. Time to celebrate with a really big soda.
One of the provisions of the state budget prevents local units of government from regulating food items based on portion size, nutrition and calories. So go ahead and enjoy that jumbo popcorn and super-sized soft drink while you watch the nanny-state ninnies scream in horror.
Who would have thought that the symbol of freedom is a jumbo slurpee?
While we should not be thrilled that another non-budget item was stuck in the state budget, a bipartisan habit, at least the state Legislature is using some common sense (this time). A patchwork of local regulations created by health fanatic do-gooders would make it practically impossible for retailers to serve their customers.
Unfortunately, we live in an age when such legislation is needed.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg infamously tried a ban on large sodas in his city before the courts struck it down. This came after a city war on salt and trans-fats.
Other cities have not been immune to suddenly deciding what is good for you. Superior in northern Wisconsin even considered a ban on McDonald's Happy Meals. Fortunately, the idea was rejected.
Of course, your would-be governmentappointed health gurus are a little cranky about this budget provision. They should have a king-size Snickers candy bar and relax.
In a press release, the usual caring groups, who care so much they want the government to tell you what to eat, asked Gov. Scott Walker to veto the ban on regulating junk food. They include the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Health First Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, and, (my favorite) the Childhood Obesity Prevention Collaborative.
Here's a good rule for life. If an organization has the word "Collaborative" in their title, they're probably not too interested in your personal freedom.
The organizations complain that such a ban will interfere with local government wellness programs for their employees. "In particular, this motion would greatly weaken local government wellness programs by preventing such governments from setting nutrition standards for government employees and buildings."
If a local government's wellness program bans employees from buying a 32-ounce soda but says a 16-ounce soda is OK, count me as willing to stand with the workers. "No Big Gulp, no peace!"
As for setting nutrition standards for buildings, most buildings are pretty inedible.
What these groups really want is to allow a patchwork of crazy health regulations of food that would differ from municipality to municipality. They oppose "legislation that restricts local governments from addressing the health concerns of its citizens."
The citizens do not belong to the local governments. The local governments belong to the citizens. So the "health concerns" are those of the citizens, and not the government, and an adult human being is fully capable of deciding what they want to eat, when they want to eat, and how much they want to eat.
Unfortunately, the trend is toward less freedom of personal choice, not more. As we move toward greater participation of the government in health care, our personal choices become more of a concern to the government we've placed in charge of our health. That craving for extra salt on your popcorn has a public policy dimension that would have appalled our Founding Fathers.
Yes, Americans should be more concerned about our health. I strongly believe our leaders should talk about making healthier choices in our personal lives.
As someone who is taking active steps to improve my health by getting more exercise and eating healthier, I take health issues very seriously.
However, we need to trust people to make the best decisions for themselves. Because if we cannot trust people on this most basic level, the food that they are putting in their mouths, we're really saying that we cannot trust adult Americans to be competent decision makers.
There are implications in that distrust in people making personal choices that, while not intended by the nanny groups, directly contradict many of our ideas about sovereignty and the republic. Let's stand for personal freedom instead.
Have a Coke and a smile. It's almost Independence Day.

Let's Do It!
I'm suffering from post holiday blues as you so often do when forcing yourself to adjust to reality. The reality of being like a hamster in a treadmill, shopping, washing, ironing, cleaning the bathroom, hoovering, cooking, clearing up and so on and so on.....
For some reason it feels worse than when I had to go back to work after a holiday. Well I did like my job, I don't like housework!!!!
So I need a laugh!
My motto is, "When in need of a laugh, watch Victoria Wood!"
So here's one of my all time favourites, The Ballad of Barry and Freda, Let's Do It!
Look out for a very young, curly haired, Julie Walters in the audience.
The Ballad of Barry and Freda - Victoria Wood
Just in case you can't understand all of the lyrics, here they are:
Freda and Barry sat one night.
The sky was clear.
The stars were bright.
The wind was soft.
The moon was up.
Freda drained her cocoa cup.
She licked her lips.
She felt sublime.
She switched off Gardeners' Question Time.
Barry cringed in fear and dread
As Freda grabbed his tie, and said:
Let's do it!
Let's do it,
Do it while the mood is right!
I'm feeling
I've really got an appetite.
I'm on fire
With desire.
I could handle half the tenors in a male voice choir.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!
But he said:
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I don't believe in too much sex.
This fashion
For passion
Turns us into nervous wrecks.
No derision!
My decision
I'd rather watch The Spinners on the television.
I can't do it.
I can't do it tonight.
So she said:
Let's do it!
Let's do it,
Do it till our hearts go boom!
Go native,
Living in the living room.
This folly
Is jolly.
Bend me over backwards on me hostess trolley.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!
But he said:
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
Me 'eavy breathing days have gone.
I'm older,
Feel colder.
Other things that turn me on.
I'm imploring:
I'm boring.
Let me read this catalogue on vinyl flooring.
I can't do it.
I can't do it tonight.
So she said:
Let's do it!
Let's do it,
Have a crazy night of love!
I'll strip bare.
I'll just wear
Stilettos and an oven glove.
Don't starve a Girl of a palaver.
Dangle from the wardrobe in your balaclava.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!
But he said:
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I know I'd only get it wrong.
Don't angle
For me to dangle.
Me arms 'ave never been that strong.
Stop pouting.
Stop shouting.
You know I pulled a muscle when I did that grouting.
I can't do it.
I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it!
Let's do it,
Share a night of wild romance,
This could be your last big chance
To quote Milton,
To eat Stilton,
To roll in gay abandon on the tufted Wilton.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I've got other little jobs on hand.
Don't grouse
Around the house.
I've got a busy evening planned.
Stop nagging.
I'm flagging.
You know as well as I do that the pipes want lagging.
I can't do it.
I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it!
Let's do it
While I'm really in the mood!
Three cheers!
It's years
Since I caught you even semi-nude.
Be drastic
Wear your baggy Y-fronts with the loose elastic.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I must refuse to get undressed.
I feel silly.
It's too chilly
To go without me thermal vest.
Don't choose me.
Don't use me.
Me mother sent a note to say you must excuse me.
I can't do it.
I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it!
Let's do it!
I feel I absolutely must.
I won't exempt you,
Want to tempt you,
Want to drive you mad with lust.
No cautions,
Just contortions!
Smear an avocado on me lower portions.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
It's really not my cup of tea.
I'm harassed,
I wish you hadn't picked on me.
No dramas!
Give me me pyjamas.The only girl
I'm mad about is Judith Chalmers.
I can't do it.
I can't do it tonight.
Let's do it!
Let's do it!
I really want to run amok.
Let's wiggle.
Let's jiggle.
Let's really make the rafters rock.
Be mighty.
Be flighty.
Come and melt the buttons on me flameproof nightie.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!
Let's do it!
Let's do it!
I really want to rant and rave.
Let's go,
'Cause I know
Just how I want you to behave:
Not bleakly,
Not meekly.
Beat me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly.
Let's do it!
Let's do it tonight!

Take care my friend, Love, Merle.
Morning Winifred, About the comment I made about being allowed to teach the Gospel...well Sparrow wrote a comment under yours that pretty much says 'it all'. Could you pop over and read her comment please...and yes, our American freedom's are being stripped away rapidly. Legislature is being passed all the time. I just called my congressmen the other week to ask them to vote no on a bill that would actually allow degrees of leniency for child molesters and people that propagate (very boldly) marriages/relationships in which the 'couple' are not male and female. Some of these things are not really in the news in an upfront way. The things tacked 'on' to bills being pushed thru our Senate and so on. Our 'stimulus' package idea is crazy. It seems we are on a sinking ship financially over here with a President who says we are not a Christian nation etc etc. We did not vote for him! I am thankful my hope is in God himself for the future. About your poem...I am a bit shy about that topic...smile. Its cute though...from what I read..'wink'*ReplyDelete

In order to get more talents for your sicarios, you may use other sicarios that are not so valuable - just fuse them to use their stars and get a new talent!
However, once you've used a sicario to get a talent for another one, you will not see it in your inventory.
The maximum number of additional talents you can assign to a sicario is two (so, your sicarios can have not more than three talents in total).
Don't panic if you accidentally closed the game while searching talents! You will be able to continue searching from the point where you stopped.

OSLO (Reuters) - The United States reaffirmed support for a U.N. goal of limiting global warming after criticism from the European Union and small island states that Washington seemed to be backing away.
"The U.S. continues to support this goal. We have not changed our policy," U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said in a statement on Wednesday.
Almost 200 nations, including the United States, have agreed to limit rising temperatures to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) above pre-industrial times to avoid dangerous changes such as floods, droughts and rising sea levels.
The EU Commission, small island states and environmental activists urged the world to stick to the target on Tuesday, fearing that Washington was withdrawing support. Temperatures have already risen by about 0.8 degree C.
In a speech on August 2, Stern called for a more flexible approach to a new U.N. agreement, meant to be adopted in 2015 after past failures, so that it could be modified over time to take account of new technologies.
"This kind of flexible, evolving legal agreement cannot guarantee that we meet a 2 degree goal, but insisting on a structure that would guarantee such a goal will only lead to deadlock," he said in the speech.
In a clarification, Stern said that "my view is that a more flexible approach will give us a better chance to actually conclude an effective new agreement and meet the goal we all share."
Insistence on a more dogmatic approach in U.N. negotiations, that would divide up carbon rights to pollute the atmosphere, "will only lead to stalemate," he said.
Many scientists say the 2 degrees target is getting out of reach because of rising emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels.
Emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, rose 3.1 percent in 2011 to a record high. The decade ending in 2010 was the warmest since records began in the mid-19th century, U.N. data show.

Shockwave therapy for Pain Management
Shockwave therapy for Pain Management
A shockwave is a "high powered sound wave". Shockwave Therapy sends acoustic shockwaves into bone or soft tissue, in effect re-injuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up the scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments. The controlled re-injuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resulting re-vascularization leads to faster healing, a chemically induced decrease in pain and sensitivity of pain receptors, and often a return to pre-injury activity levels.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a modern and highly effective treatment method: high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body. With this innovative therapy approach, pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones can be eliminated systematically.
Conditions that can be treated by Shockwave Therapy
• Treatment of Tendinopathies
• Hamstrings
• Myofascial trigger points
1. Achilles Tendinopathy
2. Bursitis
3. Hallux Rigidus
4. Non-Healing Ulcers
5. Tendonitis
6. Scar Tissue
• Shoulder pain
• Shin Splints
• Tennis Elbow
• Patellar Tendonitis
• Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Spur
• Shin Splints
• Stress Fractures
• Enhancement of bone healing
• Muscle and connective tissue activation with V-ACTOR®
• Osgood-Schlatter
• Non-surgical treatment
• No side effects
• Accelerates healing
• Affordable
• Coverage available from most insurance companies
Success Rates ….World's most effective Shockwave treatment
91% improvement for Calcific Tendonitis – Journal of American Medical Association, 2003
90% success rate for Plantar Fasciitis – Foot & Ankle International, 2012
77% improvement for Tennis Elbow – The Journal of Orthopaedics, 2005

What to do if your woman looks ticked.
Here are the possibilities.
1 – She isn't; her head hurts or she just has "a look on her face".
2 – She is, but not at you. Something happened at work, or during the drive home, or she had a set-to with her mother or best friend over the phone. In that case,
A – you may be able to help her think through next steps, or let her vent. If you do let her vent, that can't get to be a longlasting thing, or a frequent thing, b/c it's unhealthy for her (she's not solving her problem) and unpleasant for you. Or
B – you really can't do anything about it except leave her alone until she gets over it. Possibly she can be distracted by a nice gesture - if you cook dinner when it's not your turn, or make a special trip to the store for her favorite candy bar - but you shouldn't get offended if she's not.
In neither case is it about you. But you can make it about you if you pick at her until she blows up – see "PMS" below.
3 – She is, and it is about you.
A – You know why she's mad and you don't intend to change your ways. In that case, keep your lip zipped. You don't have to do everything someone else wants, but you don't have the right to insist that they not mind when you don't. BTW, a relationship can probably stand a handful of issues like this over the course of time, but too many signal incompatibility.
B – You know why she's mad and you regret whatever-it-is. A brief "I'm sorry" is probably in order, but the most important thing is not to repeat the offense.
C – She's ticked at you, but you have no idea why. She may not either, or she may suspect she's being unreasonable but can't help it - see "PMS" below. You can't assume that she's mad at you unless she says so, and you don't want to see her unhappy or endure a bunch of sulking, so probably best to say something like "If you're mad at me I assume you'll tell me why" and then SHUT UP. Once again – you can't police the other person's feelings or the look on her face. But DON'T do this if you really know why she's angry but you have no intention of complying with what she wants, unless you just want to pick a fight – and this is very bad for the relationship.
If it happens often that she's angry at you and you don't know why until you ask, there are two possibilities here.
i - She is not communicating effectively. Expecting you to just magically know what she wants. That's kind of immature but people do it. If that's the case you'll have to politely point out that you are not a mindreader.
ii - She is communicating but you are not listening. That is your problem and you have to solve it. I personally do not nag, at home or at work; I'll say something a couple of times and then I'll shut up, because if I'm not getting compliance, I never think that adding to the noise level the person I'm talking to is dealing with will get it for me. Women who do nag say they do it because their men are not listening. You can train a woman to do that (unless she's like me and refuses to) or cause her to feel angry and resentful by tuning her out. (Nagging, of course, trains a man or a child to ignore the first fourteen times the nagger says something and that increases unpleasantness for everyone.) I realize we women talk a lot sometimes and it's hard to extract the kernel of relevant information; news flash - y'all do that too. So make an effort. : )
A word about PMS. Okay, several.
If you've never had it, imagine that about once a month a person injects you with a psychoactive drug. It may make you cry about trivial things, or it may make you obsess about things that don't really matter. You may even wake up in the night fretting about something that another time wouldn't bother you at all, and you can't turn it off. Or it may cause you to have free-floating anger that settles on the nearest target.
You have no control over the person who injects you; or what drug you get, how much, how long it lasts.
And you don't even know when he's doing it, you have to figure it out from your symptoms.
The most you can do is try to anticipate when it might happen, and then try very hard not to share your inevitable misery with the people around you.
I never understand when a man acts like a woman's PMS is a personal affront to him. Like having it is not enough of a burden for her, without him giving her a hard time about it as well. Men, we are not having PMS at you, I promise. If we could skip it, God knows we would.
And we're not making things up like our clothes not fitting. I have pants that I cannot wear those few days, as well as certain underwear. It's not convenient and it's not fun. Chocolate craving – that's real too. When I have been off the pill, my cycle has been so irregular as to leave me totally guessing when to expect my visitor. Most of the time it's about 3 weeks, but sometimes as long as 5. Frequently the first warning I get is that the idea of Hershey's chocolate pops into my head and I have to get some. The brain-altering chemicals in it are very calming. Rum-and-cokes help tremendously too, I've found.
But here is the kicker. I have a theory and I can back it up with anecdotal evidence: women who are premenstrual emit pheromones that cause the men around them to act like total jackasses when they would not at any other time. (So maybe we are having PMS at you, but not the way you think.) It seems to be satisfying to a man at times, to pick at a woman who has PMS until he touches off a big ol' fight. That's happened to me (at work) even when I've known I was premenstrual and was trying very hard not to get provoked, and once again, the man doing it was usually a nice person. What happens then is that he goes away with some kind of catharsis, and feeling superior about how she's just a crazy chick, leaving her totally unnerved and possibly in tears. DON'T DO THAT. That is a relationship killer. If you have any reason to believe that a woman is premenstrual, and she has a look on her face, and she tells you "nothing" or "I'm just in a bad mood" when you ask what's wrong, find enough self control to take that at face value and stay out of her path until her body chemistry settles down. Especially if that woman is your true-love. It may not be as much fun as picking at her until she explodes, but it's the kindest thing you can do.

Do you remember my telling you that I could swear that I and a certain male teacher at a certain school where I worked were in sync. It never failed that when I was struggling to maintain my sanity (read PMS) that this jackass would come up with some cockamamey something for me to do in that one-person office of over 500 students. I just got upset thinking about that and it has been over 30 years! Oh well.
- Laura(southernxyl) said...
Were you in sync, or were you doing that to him with your pheromones?
Keep your pheromones to yourself, woman!
Seriously, women get in sync with each other due to cycle-related pheromones; that is established fact. I don't know why we could not be affecting men as well.
He must have kept a calendar. I mean you could set your clock by him coming to the office to request something that was no way in my job description and throw a hissy if I didn't comply.

Excellent. I'm bookmarking this.

The Committees
Within the European Parliament there are 17 permanent Committees dealing with different subject areas. Each Committee has a number of MEPs who are full members, and others who are 'substitute' members. There are also a number of temporary Committees which are formed as important matters arise – for example, on Echelon or genetic technology.
When a piece of draft legislation is sent to Parliament from the Commission, it is given to the relevant Committee to deal with. The Committee, by co-ordinating the political groups, allocates one of its members as 'Rapporteur'. The Rapporteur is responsible for writing a Report on the Commission document on behalf of the Committee. A typical report would consist of a number of amendments, or changes to the text, where the Rapporteur thinks that improvements need to be made.
Normally, one or more other Committees produce an Opinion on the original proposal. For example, the Civil Liberties Committee is responsible for producing the Report on the proposal for a Community Immigration Policy. The Employment and Social Affairs Committee has been asked to write an Opinion on the proposal, in which they will ask the former Committee to include certain points in its report which cover the subject from the employment and social angle.
Once the Rapporteur has produced the report, other Committee members may also submit amendments to the text. The report then goes to vote in the Committee – the Committee votes on whether to accept each submitted amendment into the text, and finally whether to accept the report as a whole. The majority of reports are accepted, and go on to be voted on by the whole Parliament in the plenary session. This is when the whole Parliament meets together to discuss reports, amend them and put them to the vote, thus adopting its position on the matter. Amendments may therefore also be submitted prior to the plenary vote.

The Bibliographical Information Files presented here attempt to record and describe the sequence of Editions and Impressions of selected titles in Canadian Literature. They are intended to assist scholars, librarians, bookdealers and book collectors in identifying a specific volume in hand within the context of the publishing history of that title.
In addition to the authors and titles currently available on this site, research on the fiction publications of the following authors is well advanced: Ralph Connor, Norman Duncan, W.A. Fraser, Basil King, William Kirby, J.M. Oxley, Frank L. Packard, Gilbert Parker, and Arthur Stringer. Others (such as Barr and Roberts) are at an early stage.
There are several aspects of this work that I feel those who use it should be made aware of from the start. For example, one should note that there is a significant difference between the descriptions of titles that were arbitrarily selected in the early stages of the project to act as trial cases and those that ultimately formed the major part of the project as it subsequently unfolded. These later treatments are fuller and more complete, and form the core of this set of information files. Nonetheless, because the information in the earlier files is useful and informative (if sometimes limited), they have been included in the materials offered.
Note that the information presented here is designed to function at two levels: first, as a series of Annotated Enumerative Bibliographies, by author and title; and second, as a form of Descriptive Bibiliography of the titles examined. The shorter annotation focuses mainly on the distinguishing features of an edition/Impression/variant, and is designed to help identify a particular volume in hand. The fuller descriptions selectively follow the conventions of descriptive bibliography to provide fuller information.
The enumerative ordering of the files has presented difficulties in developing a paractical and clear publishing record of a particular title where a large number of printings form the publishing history of the title. In such cases, it is easy to lose a sense of the "shape" of a title's publishing history, and it becomes overly difficult to locate a particular printing one may be looking for. Moreover, the conventional criteria of bibliographical organization, based in relationships between text settings, compound the confusion because they do not adequately reflect the printing practices of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The intention of this bibliography is to reflect structurally, as clearly as possible, the publishing history of a particular title rather than trace overtly the printing history of its text.
In pursuing this approach, some of the conventional terminology gets significantly redefined. For example, the term "edition" does not simply identify a specific text setting, but is also used to distinguish national jurisdiction and subsequent issuances under another company name. While chronology provides basic sequencing, this broader use of the terminology allows the bibliography to distinguish clearly separate national patterns of the publishing history, and, in cases where large numbers of files are involved, to subdivide the presentation along national lines for the sake of clarity. The approach does, however, violate the conventional use of the term "edition". For example, the "First Canadian edition" may be distinguished from the "First US edition" although the texts of the two are printed from an identical (even, common) set of printing plates. A note that the text of the Canadian edition is a sub-edition of the First US edition will be included in the file describing the Canadian edition, providing printing information but keeping that information separate from the publishing history. In like manner, if another company published a reprint in the same jurisdiction, that printing will be identified as the "Second ... edition", even when it is printed from identical (or common) printing plates. In all cases, a change in setting (in keeping with convention) will be distinguished as a separate edition.
Obviously, what is lost here are immediate clues relating to resetting of the text. That information is now contained within the body of the descriptive file. What is gained, however, is a clearer understanding of the historical pattern of publication in relation to national jurisdictions and corporate entities.
The term "Impression" is used to denote subsequent printings of the same text setting by the same company. They are generally distinguished by differing preliminary and/or appended materials, and often by different bindings. Thus, "First Canadian edition, Second Impression" would issue from the same company with the same text setting as the First Impression, but would be distinguished by a later publication date, and possibly different appended advertisements or a different binding. The term "Variant" is used when the printed contents appear identical (and appear to be the same Impression), but the bindings are different or the tipped-in illustrations are located differently.
The over-riding intention here is to offer as clear a view as possible of a book's publishing history and to provide a convenient reference resource for identifying the publication context for a volume-in-hand. While I believe that the information offered here is useful and valuable, there are significant deficiencies that I openly acknowledge. First, although the listing attempts to be chronological, we often do not know for sure the sequence of printings and issues. Therefore, when using this information, be warned that frequently we are presenting a "best guess" and one should approach the information accordingly. Second, there are undoubtedly editions, Impressions, and variants that we have not yet identified. If you discover new information or items not listed, please contact us so that we may make the information files more complete. Appropriate acknowledgement will be given.
Most of the abbreviations used seem straight-forward. In the Copies Examined section, we have used standard symbols to identify the various repositories, except for the symbol "pc" which stands for "private collection". Unless indicted otherwise, those holdings are my own.

Am in a quagmire
My request list is filled to the brim. And all of them are coming from females. Funny enough, the few men who got across also made requests of the same – Brazilian hair. I wonder what for. Maybe, for commercial purposes or for trade by barter.
The barter point makes more sense because I can't fathom out what a man would be doing with Brazilian hair. Definitely, the requests are not made on behalf of their wives. I know my friends and they know me. They love their wives but not to the point of buying Brazilian hairs for them. And no man would want his wife to go beyond the boundary to fix or wear a hair that would make men turn their heads or make passes at them.
It is a well known fact that celebrities and mostly students love this type of hair for their extensions. One lady called and requested that I buy ''Brazilian head" for her. Laughter! How do I get a 'Brazilian head' when I am not a ritualist? These requests have made me to go asking about the Brazilian hair. Truly, most of the Brazilian girls have very trendy, luxury, eye-caching hairs. Our receptionist in our hotel has one that gets to her knee. And it is natural.
I've told her of the deluge of requests from home on Brazilian hair and she agreed to take me to the market. What about cutting her own for me? ''No. Police arrest you", she warned and that puts my dreams and fantasies in check.
The hair stands them out. They carry their head lovingly and wag their heads in a way that makes even a good man to lust after them before getting lost. I know that a woman's beauty may be fatal to her. So, what makes Brazilian hair different from other hairs, I asked. I got an answer that ''Brazilian Virgin hair is one of the best qualities of hairs because the cuticles are unidirectional – which means women will have a lot less tangling.
It is untreated and completely natural. The hair itself is thick, shiny and often contains a slight wave. Because of its texture, this type of hair extension can be used by diverse ethnic groups. But importantly, why this hair is in high demand is because of its shelf life. Brazilian hair can last up to a year when cared for properly. It is hugely popular but generally also incredibly EXPENSIVE. I thank God for my wife's natural long hair.
How's Boko Haram?
Imagine being stopped on the way and asked the above question. I was shocked when a Brazilian Journalist singled me out because of my Nigerian jersey to ask of Boko Haram, the deadly terrorist group that have wrecked havoc on our dear country hoisting us on the front burner of World attention for the wrong reasons.
The kidnapped school girls are still in yet to come back to their parents. The World have lent their hands to Nigeria to curb the killings or totally eliminate them. Out here, we still read that more bloods are still being shed by them. Little wonder therefore that Emilio Coutinho asked after them. ''Are you from Nigeria?", he asked extending his hands. ''How;s Boko Haram?", he asked almost immediately. I was puzzled not knowing how to respond. ''They are killing too many people. Are you going back?", he asked.

Reigning Wirral champions last month hosted the North West Leaving Care Football Tournament at Tranmere Rovers Football Club.
An annual event, having run for eight years, the team list comprises young people from every leaving care service in the North West. Ten full size teams of youths leaving care services across the region battled it out in TRFC's indoor area to become victors.
A prestigious title in the leaving care world, the Wirral team bravely defended their claim to victory on the hot spring day. Unfortunately this time, the team from Tameside took home the trophy.
A great day, run smoothly by staff, friends and family members, was had by all with the two professional FA referees overseeing the competition commenting on the "really high standard of football" at play.
Director of Children's Service for Wirral Paul Boyce presented medals to every young player in a presentation following the event with some of the awards being sponsored by Safe Hands Ltd's Denny Fletcher.
Chris Pentecost, Acting Team Manager for Wirral Leaving Care Service, said of the event, "It was a fantastic day for the young people. Passions ran high and low, you'd think it was the World Cup! I'd personally like to thanks Tranmere Rovers FC and their staff for going the extra mile."
Next year's tournament will be hosted by this year's champions, in Tameside. With the World Cup on the horizon, all we've got to say is, watch out England!

The Tuttles with AJ Lee are a mostly kids band playing bluegrass and old-time music based in Palo Alto, CA . They feature two of the finest young singers in the country with Molly Tuttle and AJ Lee, and the high-speed picking of Molly's brothers, Sullivan and Michael. They have performed at some of California's premier music festivals, including Strawberry and the California Bluegrass Association's Father's Day Festival. Their YouTube videos have been seen by over two million viewers. Under the musical direction of their father, Jack, a long-time bluegrass musician and teacher, The Tuttles with AJ Lee have impressed audiences with their high-level bluegrass skills. Their CD, Introducing The Tuttles with AJ Lee, has drawn rave reviews.
Molly Tuttle (18) sings lead and plays multiple instruments. Despite her young age, she has developed into one of the premier acoustic musicians in the country. As a singer, songwriter, banjo player and guitar player, she has amazed fans across the country. She recorded her first CD with her father, Jack Tuttle. At the age of fifteen, she taught flatpicking guitar at the California Coast Music Camp. Molly excels as a versatile singer, with deep roots in old-time and bluegrass, but increasingly her instinctive sense of contemporary music has drawn national attention. As Dennis Brunnenmeyer, KVMR radio on-air personality said of her CD, "with her crystal-clear voice, crisp falsettos and her apparently instinctive interpretations, The Old Apple Tree is bound to be just the first of many CDs to come. Keep an eye and both ears trained on Molly Tuttle. This is one young woman you don't want to overlook."
AJ Lee (13) is one of the finest young bluegrass singers in the country. With a full voice that reflects a deep understanding of bluegrass singing, she has been a favorite at bluegrass festivals for four years. By the age of eight, she was being asked to perform at major bluegrass events, including the IBMA FanFest in Nashville. In 2008, AJ performed at a major NASCAR event in Indianapolis to an audience of 40,000 and on national TV. With The Tuttles she plays mandolin, but she also plays guitar, fiddle and banjo.
Sullivan Tuttle (16) plays guitar and is a rapidly developing star of flatpicking bluegrass. Able to play at the fastest of bluegrass tempos, Sullivan has been performing on stage since the age of eight. His solos are a surprisingly complex blend of virtuosity and taste.
Michael Tuttle (14) has been playing mandolin for six years and has no trouble keeping up with his older siblings. Whether it's a Monroe style traditional piece, or a jazzy number, Michael shows a command of his instrument that belies his young age.
Jack Tuttle is the band's bass player, fiddle player, vocalist and music director. He is an honorary lifetime member of the California Bluegrass Association and has been a full-time bluegrass teacher for thirty years. Jack has played in the California bluegrass scene since the 1980's and has toured in the US , Canada and Japan . Known for numerous standout students, this band features some of his best.

Whose Vote is Really a Vote For Trump (or Hillary)?
From the beginning of this election, I supported Gary Johnson. I believed that there was a block of principled conservatives out there who would not support Donald Trump under any circumstances. Combine that with liberals seeking an honest anti-war candidate, armies of independents willing to go for something different and you get at least 20% of the vote. Maybe not enough to win, but respectable enough to make things interesting and create some momentum to push the cause of liberty forward. With Johnson polling at 5%, I recognize that he is not going to come anywhere close to winning. Thus I will be casting a protest vote. Many on the left will tell me that there is no such thing as a protest vote; a vote for Johnson is a vote for Trump. I find this argument to be very strange because, by the mere fact that they are agreeing to grant legitimacy to this election in the first place, liberals are the ones implicitly casting a vote for Trump.
I am a radical Lockean secessionist (to put in simplistic terms, an anarchist). Every property owner has the moral right to take their property and secede from their present country, forming their own new little state. I challenge anyone to come up with an argument against my position that could not have also been used by the British to invalidate the claims of the colonists during the American Revolution. One of the reasons why I am a secessionist is that I wish to avoid the conundrum of being morally compelled to do something immoral because it is the law. Read Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience and you will see an explicitly anarchist text. It is ok and even commendable to break an immoral law because your conscious precedes the authority of the law. The law can only have authority over you if you personally consent to it. Therefore, if you do not consent to the law because you find it immoral, the law never had authority to begin with and you never had any obligation to follow it. I challenge you to take a principled stand in defense of breaking the law even through non-violent passive resistance that does not rely on such anarchist premises.
Imagine that Trump wins this coming Tuesday. Come January, he is going to start rounding up eleven million illegal immigrants. We know very well that there is no way that any such plan could be carried out without mass murder. Trump has promised to eliminate any soldier that does not agree to commit war crimes so any soldier left is a de facto war criminal. What would be an appropriate response? According to my political morality, I am not bound to recognize any such Trump government. It is my right to pursue passive resistance and even to follow the lead of those British citizens in 1775, who claimed that it was alright to kill British soldiers. If you are not a secessionist like me, on what grounds will you claim that it is alright to do anything but comply with the will of the "people" and their President Trump?
What if the United States had a strong Nazi party, one that had the support of even 10% of the population? Could you accept an election in which they were even allowed to take part, as opposed to them simply being granted Idaho as an independent country or shipping them all to gas chambers? Even such a minority could easily leverage its support in exchange for the government having to agree to some seriously immoral compromises. Those familiar with the history of Weimar Germany know that during the 1920s the Nazis were a fringe party. Comes 1932 and there is the Great Depression so the Nazis get 33% of the vote. They then manage to pull a deal with the conservative parties to take power and once in power they do away with democratic elections. So instead of being in power for just a few months as an odd quirk in German history, the Nazis were able to stay on top for twelve years and start World War II. Most Germans never supported the Nazis, but the Nazis were able to manipulate a democratic system for their own ends. In essence, a fatal flaw of Weimar was that it allowed the Nazis to participate in the first place. Agreeing to be part of a liberal democracy in which Nazis took part meant accepting the Nazi takeover and everything that happened afterward.
The United States is a vast and diverse country with over 300 million people, the vast majority of whom I have good reason to heap contempt upon both their intelligence and moral judgment. This includes white men without college degrees, who believe that Mexicans are rapists and Obama is a Kenyan Muslim. It is precisely such people who are largely responsible for turning Trump into something more than a reality TV star on a joyride. Even if, as I hope, Trump loses, those hordes of angry stupid white men will still be there and they will still be voting American citizens. At some point, perhaps with a candidate who can forge an alliance with another angry and stupid demographic (it is not as if white men have a monopoly on those things), these angry stupid white men will win. What do you plan on doing then? Accepting that they will one day win is the price of having the United States. So either you reject having the United States and instead attempt to build a mini-state with only intelligent and moral people or you implicitly agree to support Donald Trump.
Remember that when this day of Trump comes (and it will), conservatives and spineless liberals will tell you that, while you are free to wait four years and vote against Trump, in the meantime you need to respect the fact that the American people voted for bigotry and intolerance. You can prepare yourself starting from today. Put your hand over your heart and repeat after me: I do not pledge allegiance to any flag, nor to any republic that does not even obey its own constitution. I follow my own conscience from God (however I choose to define him/her) and pledge to work for liberty and justice for all. If you are not yet willing to take this step, I understand (it took me years to get there). But please do not lecture me about how I am the one voting for Trump.
(To all the well-meaning conservatives out there, who reject Trump but feel that if they do not vote for him they are voting for Hillary, feel free to replace the name Trump with Hillary in this article. Rework my examples as you feel appropriate.)

– New Mexico's most Enchanting Video Podcast is back with a Flamenco encore!
After posting the previous episode of New Mexicast about "Flamenco in New Mexico," I got the following email from a viewer:
"This was a fascinating episode. I have one criticism – we did not get a sense of the power of the flamenco dance and music -the podcast is all a little too "sweet" maybe. Odd that this midwestern Jewish old lady knows about flamenco. But I saw it several times on the stage as an adult. I went to those performances because I had heard the sounds of the gypsy women singing/shouting when I was just a kid. My Dad played recordings of great flamenco singers.
But Rosa Linda, I may be looking at this from an impossibly demanding level. Your program is not a segment of "Sunday Morning", or a pbs segment on dance in New Mexico. "
And this wasn't the only email/comment that expressed disappointment over not seeing any of the actual performances. So, for my loyal viewers who were left wanting more last time, this episode is for you. I may not have the staff or resources of PBS or "Sunday Morning" but I hope this comes closer to what you had in mind.
I hope you all enjoy this encore!
Lots of love,
Rosa Linda
P.S. I LOVE feedback (yes, even criticism), so please leave a comment after you watch the video! Thanks.

In the early 1800's, the Willamette River Valley of northwestern Oregon was publicized as a "promised land of flowing milk and honey", but for me it's just where I grew up. Though a place of grand beauty stretched out between the Cascade mountains and the Coast range, to my mind and heart it's more a place of childhood memories that have become tangled up like necklaces stored together in a little box for a long time.
I lived there with my mom for about five years – a long time considering how much we moved around. Though a cheerful kid with a farmer's tan and freckles splashed across my face, there were many things I hated about my life during that time.
Rivaling for first place in the hate category are the McKenzie brothers. Three sons of a farmer and his wife, the McKenzie brothers came to Oregon from Indiana when their parents decided to move there and purchase a piece of property with an extensive apple orchard on it. They lived down the road from the three-classroom school we all went to, and I rode my bike past their house to and from school each day. I rode past fields, farms, a Mennonite church, railroad tracks. But I came to dread riding past the McKenzie house. A couple times I stopped to watch, mouth hanging open, as they shoved firecrackers into the mouth and ass of a dead animal. When parts of the corpse exploded, so too did the McKenzie boys explode – with laughter and glee. I mean, they were always doing something that was just awful. They would lash one another with switches cut from the trees of their daddy's orchard. I mean, take their shirts off and really lash. And they were always shooting each other with BB guns, and their mom would pick the BB's out. There I would be, streaking past on my bike, pedaling madly, hoping not to get shot. Their idea of a game was making their stream of pee touch an electric fence and see who could last the longest.

Recognizing that our curriculum during the school year is rigorous and that expectations are high for student learning, there is great value in children having a respite during the months of summer. On the other hand, studies have shown that students lose ground during the long vacation if not provided an opportunity to keep their skills sharp. With these two perspectives in mind, our teachers craft a balanced plan specific for our school.
(Note: Parents should select the summer learning assignments that correspond to the grade that their child will be entering in the fall. For example, a student entering second grade would complete the Summer Book Program for rising 2nd graders. A child entering third grade would complete the assignments outlined for rising 3rd graders.)

Asylum is a relief given to immigrants who fear returning to their home country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution by the government or a group the government cannot control on the basis of race, membership in a social group, political opinion, religion, or nationality.
Since 2000, Las Americas has assisted asylum seekers from over 60 countries, including Algeria, Dominican Republic, Bosnia, El Salvador, India, Burundi, Georgia, Mexico, and Colombia. Wars and repressive governments continue to create a flood of refugees to our shores. Las Americas continues to provide legal services for these refugees, works to prevent unjust deportations, and challenges Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies regarding the treatment of refugees and other detained persons in the area.
Karl, 25, was a student activist in Cameroun and led protests against government abuses. In return he was put in prison, an experience he recounts as follows. "A cell that is supposed to take a maximum of 20 people is packed with 80 inmates. It's a very painful memory to recount. Inmates are starved, forced to drink their own urine, stripped of their clothes, denied access to toilet and other sanitation facilities, beaten with machetes or electric cables, forced to sleep on a cold floor in a water filled cell, and tied in chains," he said. Karl was freed thanks to the intervention of international NGOs but had to go into hiding for fear of continued persecution and deaths.
Karl was selected to attend a university conference in San Diego but had to sneak out of Cameroun in a friend's military car in the dead of night to escape the government's watch. With the help of Las Americas, Karl won his asylum case. "I will always remember Las Americas as a place where my life started," he said. Las Americas staff "made me understand that representing an asylum seeker is not about winning or losing. It is about demonstrating to someone that there are people around the world who care about you and are willing to sacrifice time to make a difference."

What would be your price tag to change jobs?
We may speak the same language, but apparently the state of teaching in Australia is very different than in the U.S.
Australia's teacher crisis is that they have many new teachers, but older teachers aren't leaving spots for them. To encourage them to move on to other careers, according to the Courier Mail, a grant program was started--but it didn't have a full quota of applicants:
"UP to $18 million in "career change" grants
will be paid out to nearly 360
older primary school teachers being
jettisoned by Education Queensland to make
way for new graduates.
figure falls short of an estimated
$25 million that would have been
paid out if the full quota, set at 500
teachers, had successfully applied
for what has been dubbed the 'burn-out
American teachers couldn't image this happening in US schools. In the US, school districts have special programs trying to recruit teachers from any field to fill slots, and people leave with no compensation to start over. I've had days where I would have left if someone offered me Haagen Daz and a plastic spoon! We need to study what is going on right in Australian schools.
