State type conspiracies believe that the government is stock-piling
plastic burial vaults in order to place large amounts of bodies in
what is suppose to be the mass killing of millions of citizens via
biological weapons, or some other more violent means.
I would like to challenge anyone willing to debate me on this subject. I do not beleive the government will kill us.
There have been countless examples in the 20th century of governments murdering massive amounts of their own people. One has to look only at Nazi Germany, at Russia under the Soviet Union, at the Khmer Rouge's barbaric drive to the country side, at the civil war in the Congo in the 90's or at Maoist china to see examples where the governments of one's own country murdered millions of their own people. It is clear then that historically governments have murdered millions of their own people. So why then could this not happen in America?
Just recently, Barack Obama has declared the authority to execute American citizens without a trial. This sort of dictatorial power states outright that the government of the United States of America can, and will, and is currently murdering it's own citizens via unmanned predator drones. If Barack Obama is willing to do this publicy, what then is he doing secretly?
The government is evil. It uses violence and the threat of violence to get it's way - just like a serial killer. In the two decade, the American government has murdered over a million Iraqis. If they will murder a million innocent Iraqis, who is to say they won't murder a million innocent Americans?
The state is evil. It uses violence, it initiates aggression constantly against innocent people. It is reasonable to conclude there is a good chance that the American government will murder millions of it's own citizens.
Of course it is POSSIBLE that all of a sudden governments will stop killing their own citizens but it's not very likely. These organizations are evil. They use violence and coercion to get what they want. Not sometimes. All the time. That's how they operate. Through the initiation of violence. This is psychopathic behaviour and it is only reasonable to conclude that if they will use violence to rob you or extort you, then they will not balk at killing you if it fits their agenda. Just as governments around the world today presently killing innocent people all of the time.
The government already asserts the right to kill you if you do not give them your money. If you do not pay taxes, eventually men with guns (police) will come to arrest you. If you defend yourself against this aggression - if you utilize the right to self defense, as every individual is entitled to when they are attacked without cause - these men will kill you. Thus the state ASSERTS the right to murder you in order to steal your money. If they assert this right for a cause as specious as taking your money what is to stop them from murdering you for any other not worthwhile cause?
Historically the American government HAS murdered millions of people without cause, even within their own borders. Have you ever heard of the American Indian? They did nothing but live on land and they were eradicated. Genocided. The American government has also interned over a hundred thousand America citizens in concentration camps. These were the Japanese during WWII. My opponent wants you to think it is absurd that there would ever be concentration camps on American soil - yet they existed just one generation ago!
What about COINTELPRO? Here American citizens were murdered for their political beliefs. Today American citizens are incarcerated for practicing free speech - Bradley Manning for example.
The American government has murdered millions of people. It could easily be you next.
Autistickyuubi forfeited this round.

Oklahoma's legislature passed a bill that denies medical licenses to doctors who perform abortions, which essentially bans abortions.
The U.S. Senate tabled Mike Lee's amendment to the Department of Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill that would have blocked the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulations. Instead they voted for a toothless amendment by Susan Collins that prohibits HUD from dictating local zoning regulations. HUD doesn't do that directly – instead it threatens to withhold federal funds until it thinks a municipality has done enough to arrange the racial mix that HUD deems appropriate for the municipality's neighborhoods.

Federal district court judge Andrew Hanen blasted Department of Justice lawyers for lying to him in writing and in court regarding President Obama's DAPA and DACA programs. He ordered the Department of Justice to provide him a list of every illegal immigrant who benefited from the programs in the 26 states that are suing to stop DAPA, and he's requiring Department of Justice lawyers who work in those states to attend legal ethics training.

Keeping a blog fed with regular updates isn't always an easy challenge, because at times we get so stuck in a certain mindset that nothing we attempt yields the desired results. If you feel that your blog could do with some more stimulus then this post will help you.
The bully personality
A bully is defined as a person who likes to intimidate others with negative comments, personal attacks and threatening behavior. In short, a bully isn't a nice person.
Unknown to many of us, most of us carry a self-destructing bully personality within – it's that inner voice telling you your content is crap, that no one is interested in reading your blog, or worse, that you're not good enough to write a blog in the first place.
Do you agree?
Why are we the toughest critics of ourselves?
Criticism is good, but only if it's productive. If you end up in a frozen stupor after mentally beating yourself down – (i.e. as a major procrastinator), no one walks away from the experience as a winner. Especially not you. Your readers also miss out.
I am no psychologist, nor do I claim to have all the answers. What I do know is that too many people seem to revel in the art of mental self-bashing. Your guess as to why we do this is a good as mine.
Blogging should be fun, it should be spontaneous and creative, not a trigger to beat yourself up mentally because you feel unqualified to type some words. Blogging started out as a personal online diary – therefore you should treat it as such.
With the rise of meta blogs (money making) came the pressure, and IMHO this is when we took a wrong turn as a collective presence. By focusing on the monetary part of blogging many people have lost the creative spark that makes a blog fun to read.
How to hush the bully within and reclaim your creative spark
The fastest way to hush the blog bully within yourself is to forget why you write and just do it. Give yourself an hour of distraction-free time.
If you can, move to a quiet spot in nature. Start the exercise by looking around you. Observe without judging, and while doing so try to hush your mind. If you apply force it won't work. Just do it without pressure.
Take a pen and paper (YES, NO computer) and start writing what comes to mind. Just let go. If you are in the right state of mind (relaxed, centered) your creative muse will take over. Chances are if that happens you will write… and write… and then write some more. Keep writing.
Once the hour is up. Stop.
Now walk back to your computer and say a quiet thanks to yourself for having persisted with the muse bit. Open up your favorite blog editor and start writing the first thing that comes to mind.
Do not judge, do not stop, do not edit – just keep going.
You'll be surprised what comes out of this experiment. Once you're done you should have crafted a fab new blog post that is worthy of your biggest bully – YOU!
Rock on!

By David Beasley
ATLANTA (Reuters) - A Georgia college student who has already lost a leg to a rare, flesh-eating bacterial infection is now expected to suffer the loss of her fingers too, her father said.
Aimee Copeland, 24, was kayaking and zip-lining along the Little Tallapoosa River near Carrollton, Georgia, on May 1 when the line broke and she sustained a cut to her calf.
Emergency room doctors closed the wound with 22 staples and released Copeland, a graduate student at West Georgia University. But after her conditioned worsened, Copeland was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, a rare flesh-eating bacterial infection.
Copeland, who already suffered the amputation of a leg at the hip, was still listed in critical condition on Sunday, said Barclay Bishop, spokeswoman for Doctor's Hospital in Augusta.
She would not provide any other details, but Aimee's father, Andy Copeland, said in a web posting over the weekend that her fingers were also likely to be lost to the infection ravaging her body.
He said she may retain the use of her palms after surgery, however, something that would potentially leave her with enough muscle control to use prosthetics.
Doctors are "awaiting a safe time" before conducting further surgery, the father wrote.
Necrotizing fasciitis is often initially overlooked by doctors because it invades tissue deep inside the wound while the outer wound appears to be healing normally, Dr. William Schaffner of the Vanderbilt University Medical School said.
"This often is a very subtle infection initially," Schaffner said. "These bacteria lodge in the deeper layers of the wound. The organism is deep in the tissues and that's where it's causing its mischief."

Building a custom garage, shed or barn can enhance your property's looks and value
Building garages in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Even if the main reason you want to build a custom shed or barn has to do with utility or functionality, it can also be an investment in your home's overall aesthetic appeal.

Your new shed or barn will be something you will enjoy looking at as much as you will enjoy making use of it!
|As a full-service builder with decades of experience, we have constructed garages for all types of homes and for all types of usage.

We have built barns and sheds in different areas of Connecticut and Massachusetts.

Two men will be booked in the Tuesday morning shooting of a woman in a home at 9367 Ridgewood Drive, according to an East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office news release.
According to reports, four men who claimed to be bounty hunters were at the home around 4:45 a.m. as part of a search for a fugitive, the release says.
The release says two of the men were at the front of the home and two were at the back.
The two men in the back of the home opened a cracked window in order to get inside and pointed a weapon in the home, the release says.
When the woman came to the window, one of the men fired a shot striking her, the release says.
The man who reportedly opened the window, Anthony Thomas, 24, of 8948 Corlette Drive, will be booked with home invasion.
The alleged shooter, Demarcus J. McKnight, 31, of 13413 Felton Clark Drive, will be booked with illegal use of a weapon and principal to home invasion.
The woman was taken to a local hospital and is expected to recover, the release says.
The shooting is still under investigation, the release says.

Festival ''Texte,Töne & Tableaus", Walkmühle Wiesbaden 2013.
Jean Christoph Ammann and Markus Meli,Swiss Consulate Frankfurt am Main, Patronage
The Blue Day is a Magic Room, which was conceived for the Festival ''Texte,Töne & Tableaus" at the Walkmühle in Wiesbaden in Sept. 2013.
Because the city of Wiesbaden has hot healing water springs, originally called ''Aquis Mattiacis'', the Magic Room was thematically dedicated to the cultural story of Wiesbaden's healing water. The audience had the possibility to experience the deep elementary power of water in the broadest sense.
Water Projections, a real swing and pillows filled up with hay, offered a quiet atmosphere to the audience where one felt safe and immersed in between light, water and embryonal archetypical images.

New York Family Law News: Hearings Necessary in New York Custody Disputes
The recent Court decision in the matter of S.L. v. J.R., the highest court in the state heard an appeal from an order upheld by a lower appellate court that allowed a custody award to be upheld without conducting a hearing. The reason the lower appellate court upheld the custody award is because it determined that no hearing is necessary where the court had enough relevant information to make an informed decision as to what was the child's best interest.
In reversing the appellate decision, the New York Court of Appeals noted that hearings allow trial-level judges to review the credibility of witnesses and the character and temperament of parents. Also, trial courts must generally hold hearings because a custody award should be established long term because it is in the best interests of children to not be shuttled between divorced parents.
Holding a hearing would also prevent reliance on hearsay statements and other affidavits whose opinion and credibility are untested.
Now more than ever, if you are involved in a New York custody dispute, find an attorney skilled in managing and handling hearings where evidence must be submitted in admissible form, and who has experience in preparing witnesses for offering testimony and is familiar with the latest court standards and procedures.
The implications of this decision remains to be seen. However, if you care about the best interests of your children in New York custody disputes, you must be prepared to show you are a good parent at a trial-like hearing.

KUALA LUMPUR: The social media is now seen as a platform to defame or spread false information.
What is more worrying is that even the false information is accepted in toto, with no effort made to verify it, and for some social media users, to
continue sharing the information that it became viral to an extent of undermining the country's security.
The fight at the Low Yat Plaza last July 12, for example, started over a telephone theft but became viral when some quarters linked it to racial issues.
The assistant secretary for Information Technology and Communication Cluster, National Council of Professors, Associate Professor Dr Azlina Ahmad
said the incident should be viewed seriously by the authorities and should be
tackled wisely.
"The authorities should act fast, whether to take action on those responsible for spreading the false news or to resolve the matter, if it is found the information is not true," she said.
Following the incident, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak called for a review of the social media freedom by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
He regarded those who used the social media to stir racism following the incident at the Low Yat Plaza as irresponsible.
Chairman of the Centre of Media and Communication Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Associate Professor Dr Normah Mustaffa said MCMC should have its own action plan in addressing the issue.
"We want to see more bold actions taken by MCMC and the matter to be reported in the media as a reminder to the people so that they will be more
careful when using the social media to spread information," she added.
She said the social media was now seen as among platforms by certain quarters to tarnish the government and the country.
"This is because the social media is the most effective and fast medium to spread information and slander," she added.
She said there was a need for a more transparent and effective governance to stop quarters, especially the opposition, from criticising the government.
The government, she said, should take aggressive measures by also using the social media as a medium to respond to accusations hurled by the opposition parties.
"Don't just keep quiet. Making response through newspapers and television has slower feedback," she added.- BERNAMA

Services Overview
Business software projects are often complex and require a high degree of commitment from both the customer and supplier – commitment to effort and commitment to change.
This is an area of Information Technology that is full of failed projects and of projects which fall short of meeting customer objectives. In fact, a recent CIO survey placed the level of customer satisfaction with ERP and CRM projects at the very lowest levels of all IT projects.
Multidisciplinary Team
We employ an experienced and multi-disciplined team of experts, including technology specialists to ensure that the system is built using technology that is fit for purpose, performs well, and integrates into the customer's environment; but also usability experts to ensure that the software is easy to use by non-technical users, business experts who are able to interface with the customer's business users to ensure that the customer's business objectives are met, and finally project managers who oversee the whole process and work together with our account manager and the customer to keep the project on track.
Customer Engagement
As a result, we normally recommend focusing initially on delivering a few small, but measurable objectives, together with the customer ensuring these are met, and then moving onto subsequent phases, always at the customer's pace.
Apart from everything else, customers are usually consumed with their day-to-day jobs, so planning a project in bite-sized phases is very often a preferred option.

FORMAT: Players will play 9 Pin-Holes during Qualifying. Each Pin-Hole will consist of a pinball machine with a posted target score which is considered the "par" score. All machines will be set to 5-ball play. The number of balls it takes for the player to reach the par score will represent the number of Pin-Strokes earned for that hole. Should a player not reach the par score after a full game is completed, a stroke value will be determined based on how close the player was to the par score at the end of their game.
For example, the par score of Scared Stiff may be set at 6 million points. A player will continue playing the game until they reach 6 million points. If reached, the number of balls it took to reach that score will be recorded for that Pin-Hole. If the player fails to reach the par score after 5 balls are played, they will be awarded a score based on how close they were to the par score:
4,800,000– 5,999,999 points = 6 strokes [80% of par]
3,600,000 – 4,799,999 points = 7 strokes [60% of par]
2,400,000 – 3,599,999 points = 8 strokes [40% of par]
1,200,000 – 2,399,999 points = 9 strokes [20% of par]
0 – 1,199,999 points = 10 strokes [<20% of par]
A maximum of 10 Pin-Strokes per Pin-Hole will be enforced.
The 8 players (or 16 players if at least 32 players enter) with the lowest Pin-Stroke total after the qualifying round will advance to the Playoff Bracket. The Playoff Bracket consists of 4-player group play, with 3 games per round using the same golf scoring. The top 2 players in each playoff group will advance to the next playoff round.

The Tomorrow People are being hunted down by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra. Led by Dr. Jedikiah Price, Ultra sees the Tomorrow People as a very real existential threat from a rival species, and the outcast group has been forced to hide out in an abandoned subway station just beneath the surface of the human world. Trading in secrets, Jedikiah offers Stephen the chance for a normal life with his family and best friend, Astrid, if he will help in the struggle to isolate and eradicate the Tomorrow People. On the other hand, Cara, John and Russell offer Stephen a different type of family and a home where he truly belongs. Unwilling to turn his back on humanity or the world of the Tomorrow People, Stephen sets out on his own path — a journey that could take him into the shadowy past to uncover the truth about his father's mysterious disappearance or into an unknown future with THE TOMORROW PEOPLE.
The series stars Robbie Amell ("Revenge") as Stephen, Luke Mitchell ("H20: Just Add Water") as John, Peyton List ("Mad Men") as Cara, Aaron Yoo (Disturbia, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) as Russell, Mark Pellegrino ("Lost," "Supernatural") as Dr. Jedikiah Price, and Madeleine Mantock (Edge of Tomorrow) as Astrid.

Kurt Vonnegut, the American writer who satirised the absurdity of war in the cult novel Slaughterhouse Five, has died at the age of 84.
A lifelong smoker and depressive, he died as a result of head injuries sustained in a fall at his home in New York last week.
Known for his staccato, heavily-punctuated prose style, Vonnegut wrote plays, essays and short fiction, but will be best remembered for his novels, many of which became classics of American counter-culture.
Slaughterhouse Five, inspired by the firebombing of Dresden during the Second World War which he witnessed as a prisoner of war, reached No 1 in the best-seller lists, despite being banned by many schools and libraries because of its violent and sexual content.
Published in 1969, it strengthened opposition to the Vietnam war and struck a chord with a generation of young Americans confused and angry at the way their country was being run.
Born in Indianapolis in 1922, Vonnegut published his first novel in 1951, but enjoyed little critical or popular success until the release of Cat's Cradle, in which scientists create "ice-nine," a crystal that turns water solid and destroys the earth, in 1963.
But it was experiences of the Allied bombing of Germany that fired his creative imagination, and the release of Slaughterhouse Five turned him into an anti-war icon, cementing his reputation as one of America's most original social critics.
But the book's success brought on a severe bout of the depression that he battled all his life, and he vowed never to write another novel. He attempted suicide with sleeping pills and alcohol in 1984, later making light of his botched efforts.
Vonnegut continued to publish short articles in his later years, and had a best-seller in 2005 with A Man Without a Country, a collection of his non-fiction.
Fellow novelist Gore Vidal described Vonnegut as "like nobody else."
"He was imaginative; our generation of writers didn't go in for imagination very much... Kurt was never dull."

DIY Aquaponics Project
I saw a youtube video on aquaponics a long time ago. It looked so cool that I knew that I had to do something like this on my own (simpler–without the arduino, for now). Here's the video, I hope you get as excited about it as I did.
The idea settled in my brain and slept for a long time. For whatever reason, I recently thought, "What the hell?" and decided to go through with it and build a setup of my own.
I'm doing this without much research, just going with an idea I have and learning by doing.
I decided I wanted to do it indoors, so my plants would be free of insects. This way I can grow berries and other foods without needing to use pesticide or worrying about birds or other critters up in mah gardenz, eatin' mah foodz.
I had a basic idea in mind. I wanted to buy some fairly cheap, portable shelving (four shelves), the top three of which to hold the bins which contain the plants and solid medium (clay pellets, cinder, lava rock, or whatever), and the bottom bin to hold the fish. In my mind, I imagined a water pump down in the bottom tank which would send the water to the topmost bin and let gravity make the water flow down through drainage points in the bottoms of the top three bins, from one to another until the last bin drains back into the fish tank/bin.
For materials, I took a trip to Lowes and asked for help. I told an employee in the plumbing department what I had planned, and he pointed me to a small piece of equipment which had threading which could be fastened onto the bottom of the bin through a hole. (I affixed it to the bin very tightly and used silicon aquarium sealant (the kind which cures/hardens) as an added measure of water-sealing.) NOTE: I had to remove the black part, which is a cushiony "washer." When I tried to tighten it in a manner I found sufficient to prevent leakage, the washer got pushed outward, and a gap was present. There is a rigid, slippery washer that was necessary to keep on, because the threading stops too early.
That is a Watts Lead Free Bulk Head Union, PL-1871.
To this unit you can screw in a Watts Lead Free Nylon Hose Barb, A-387.
And to that affix some tubing to control the direction of the water drainage.
I purchased Rubbermaid Roughneck Clear Storage Bins of various sizes to contain the fish and the plants. For the plants, I purchased 3 long, narrow bins (26.7″ L x 15.8″ W x 6.9″ H).
For the fish, I purchased one with approximately the same width and length but with a greater height (26.7″ L x 15.7″ W x 14″ H).
In addition to these I purchased a very long, wide, and high bin which was supposed to go underneath the whole thing, shelving and all, to serve as a safety measure… so that if anything ever overflowed or leaked, it would harmlessly drain into the underlying large bin, saving my carpet and avoiding a mess. But, alas, I measured incorrectly. I keep the "fish tank" bin in this larger bin on the bottom shelf anyway. It can catch some overflow. Something is better than nothing.
The Roughneck bins are made of polypropylene which I have read is safe. These products are not officially for food storage; they are for item storage. So I cannot state that I know that these are safe for growing edible plants and do not have any harmful chemicals which may leak out. However, I doubt it. Polypropylene products have recycle code 5, which many Roughneck products have on them. Some of these bins did not have the 5 imprinted upon them, but the same products (clear Roughneck bins) of other sizes did. I am assuming they are all made of the same material. They feel and look that way.
Anyway, just a disclaimer: I'm chosing these products at my own risk, and if you do as well, you are taking the same risks. I do no claim to be an expert on this matter, and there may be something important about these products regarding safety that I do not know.
I am taking an educated guess in figuring that these products are food safe because they are polypropylene and Rubbermaid has made an effort to stop creating products with BPA.
For the water pump, I chose a PP40006 : 400 GPH, Submersible, Aquaponics/Hydroponics/Fountain/Pond/Aquarium Pump – 6′ Cord. This pump is a little too powerful for my current setup, I think. I believe it will only need to run one minute once I put in the clay medium into the plant bins to support plant growth, root stability, and bacterial growth.
For the air pump, I chose a Tetra 77849 Whisper Air Pump, up to 60-Gallon.
For the air-stone to diffuse the air from the air-pump into the water in the fish bin, I chose a Jardin Aquarium Fish Tank Ponds Ceramic Air Stone Diffusers, 40mm Diameter.
I learned that the water-pump pushes the water at a rate faster than the drainage. This combined with the fact that many plants do not like their roots continually wet led me to believe that I need, as I mentioned above, to turn the water on for a brief period of time, allowing it to rise to a decent level, saturating the clay medium, and then turning it off to let the water drain. Because the bulk head union has a height of around an inch or so, I decided to drill holes into it. The water level will remain at a little less than an inch. I think this may be acceptable. We'll have to see. If the plants don't like it, I'll have to arrange something else.
So, I had to buy a timer to provide temporary power to the water pump. It turns out that with this timer, I can turn on the water for a minute once every three hours. The timer has 8 programmable on/off settings. That is, 16 settings total, 8 for on times and 8 for off times. Here is an important note: WITH THIS TIMER YOU MUST push the reset button before programming it. In the comments on Amazon, a user complains that the timer never goes on when it should. I experienced this same error because I didn't follow the instructions which said that the first step after plugging it in was to hit the reset button. I believe that powering it on may produce garbage in the memory which affects its functioning, and the reset effectively zeroes things out (pure speculation on my part).
The timer is a Hydrofarm TM01715D 7-Day Digital Program Timer.
Here is an image of the current setup:
I took three caps from Soda Stream syrup bottles and drilled holes in them. I used the curing silicone aquarium sealant to bind them in place on top of the bulk head unions. This is to provide protection from little rocks and other pieces of debris getting into the drainage holes and pipes, producing clogs which may lead to water overflow.
I affixed tubing, which I think is the same size as fits on the water pump, to the nylon hose barb to control water drainage flow. In the plant bin which is most distant from the one below, I had to use the silicone sealant to affix the drain tube to the underlying bin. The tube dangled precariously, and I feared movement which might lead to water draining in places I didn't want it to go.
As you can see from the picture of the entire setup, I placed the shelves varying distances from each other. The topmost has the most room for vertical growth, up to the ceiling. The next one down has about two feet (just eyeballing and guessing here). The last plant bin has only a few inches above it. I plan to grow berries and perhaps microgreens in this one.
I put fish in my setup after conditioning the water for clearing chlorine, chloramine, and ammonia. I also used some starter conditioner to add bacteria and what-not to the water. The fish have been in the tank over 24 hours at the time of writing this piece. One has died. The rest seem healthy if a big sluggish. They don't seem to be eating. Perhaps the shock of transition did one in and is making the others feel icky. We'll have to see. I'll post updates. I do not believe the bins are toxic to the fish. I've started aquariums before in which this has taken place. I expect more casualties before a good nitrogen cycle can get going. These are feeder fish, so no big loss… and they are getting at least a chance at survival.
Once I put the clay medium and the bacteria start growing, I expect them to do better. I have also read that oyster shells provide natural filtration and purification, so I am going to get some of them as well and put them in the plant bins.
One last pic here, I affixed the tubing attached to the water pump to the back support of the shelving with zip ties. I attached strong velcro to the tube and top of the topmost bin with gorilla glue (the brown kind that uses a little water to activate it). This way, I can affix and direct the water flow tube on the topmost bin. It's a pretty sturdy connection.
I hope you've found my article on my DIY aquaponics setup informative. I have seen videos and articles by others, and it always irritated me that they left out many specifics, especially where to buy the parts and exactly which parts to get. I've left out a few here, but those were things like zip ties, tubing, and gorilla glue. Those are easy to find. The tubing for the water and air pumps are found on the pages for the pumps on amazon, and you just have to google zip ties and gorilla glue to find those items.
Please check back periodically for updates. I should make another post within a week or two.

Two dead in NZ govt welfare office shooting
New Zealand a place where crime was rare, then it was only violent crime being rare, then only knife rare, then finally crime was as commonplace as anywhere else.
What happened, Neo-con's took over and made poverty and unemployment an economic goal.
Then desperation and violence became the norm.
For reference Ashburton is 86 Km south of Christchurch (the lump on the right hand side of the south island) which had large earthquakes a few years ago.
Ashburton was also once home the the Minister of social welfare and later Prime Minister Jenny Shipley who played a decisive hand in cuts to welfare throughout the 1990's.
Aramoana incident (mass shooting) occurred in the early 1990's as the new wave of welfare cuts came in. This incident bore some similarities (13 dead) to the official narrative of the Port Arthur massacre, crazed white male loner with lots of guns and had a shooting spree.
Syria,Kurdistan, ISIS, Oil, Pipelines, BRICS and geopolititcs
Gulf war 3 begins USA vs ISIS
After ISIS got too close to Kurdistan (and all that delicious oil) Obama decided it was time to make a pretext for war to defend the OIL.
Suddenly Obama cares about people since they are close to major oil supplies and some US interests.
Of course there are some calls that ISIS is just another CIA backed false flag movement, a damn convenient excuse to put troops back into the middle east and more money in the war machine.
Here are some 'highlights' from gulf war 2:
Work visa fraud and rorting widespread
Finding it hard to get a job lately? Salary and wages seeming quite flat? Wonder why?
It's because your job is being 'in-sourced'.
In-sourcing is the disturbing new trend where by desperate economic migrants are taking any job they can at a vastly lower rate whether they have the skills or not.
Of course this leaves your career static or at worst sunk. Corporations love it as they get a whole lot of cheap labor, and if anything goes wrong the tax payer is left to pick up the bill.
WW1 Oil Oligarchs Odius Orders
Today we remember the official beginning of the what was called then the great war, the war to end all wars. France and the British Empire had just declared war on Germany and the Austro-Hungarian empire. At the time the British Empire was a truly world power with loyal colonies all around the world. Its not really possible to consider WW1 on its own but more as a pair of wars with WW2 being the sequel, that tried to not look like it was a sequel. The only real change to WW2 was the switch of sides of Italy who joined the axis forces and the trenches were moved to the English channel and cities in the Russian Steeps.
The real proof that the war was designed to have a sequel was the Treaty of Versailles, which forced Germany into crushing reparations. Germany simply had to have a war to get a new treaty that excluded the reparations.
Why did it happen:
Some people with no scruples and vast power decided that in order to further their aims they needed to:
- Collapse European monarchies, their only real competition.
- Kill off working class people in western Europe who might other wise become excess to requirement and therefore threat.
- Reduce the standard of living that had been improved by industrialization, to keep people poor and ignorant.
- Move and erase borders in Europe to allow their global finance cartels to expand further.
- Create division among people in Europe an the wider world, and divert their efforts into fear and the creation of weapons, so they did not focus on the real enemy, the globalists.
Dam obvious proof ? The war started with the assassination of the Arch Duke Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ancestral monarchs were an endangered species. This empire disintegrated after this war.
Several important but apparently subtle changes had just occurred.
Queen Victoria had died (1901) and the Edward VII died in 1910 leaving George V with just 4 years in the role before war diplomatic relations broke down and turned to war. George the V had to change the name of their royal house from Saxe Coburg Gothe to Windsor to sound less German and more English. Interestingly a similar 'fast baton change' occurred just before WW2 with George VI's predecessor famously abdicating after less than one year, giving George VI just 3 years to prepare for war. Perhaps if either monarch had more experience war might have been averted (or was that the plan all along).
The British navy had just converted to being a petroleum powered fleet and thus was reliant on access to foreign oil rather than domestic coal. The first move upon entering the war war to send troop to Basra to secure British oil supplies form the state of Iraq which it later manufactured from the ashes of the Ottoman empire.
The United States had Converted their monetary system to the Federal reserve system largely controlled by European bankers.
Hiram Maxim had invented a workable troop carried heavy machine gun along with his own variant of smokeless powder, European powers copied his design and soon most major armies had heavy machine guns. The heavy machine gun completely altered the wars that would be fought, making charges with troops and cavalry against fortified positions hugely costly in casualties. The heavy machine gun was a weapon built to be defensive in nature, it was designed to mow down troops in crowds from a fixed position, itself being too heavy to be moved easily while in use. This made for a mutual siege and prevented any real advance without slaughter, leaving battles bogged down in trenches, where it might have remained had it not been for the Spanish flu (influenza) which swept the world in 1917 and hastened the end of a pointless waste of human potential. One wonders if we would still be in the trenches of western Europe now had the Spanish Flu now come along.
Developments during the war(s):
The British invention the tank, Churchill who was a military man during WW1 said he wanted a land based version of a battle ship to turn the tide of battle.
The tank became central to Germany's successes in WW2.
Aeroplanes were in an auxiliary role in WW1 by by WW2 had become pivotal in many battles. In more modern times the aeroplane has now almost supplanted the navy as being real military power with the aircraft carrier now being the most important overt aspect of modern navies.
Germany had used chemical weapons during the trench warfare, but use of these weapons (chlorine gas and mustard gas) was frowned upon in subsequent wars though they sadly seem to be making a come back in more recent conflicts.
In WW2 Germany had produced the first jet fighters but had produced them too late to deploy them to great effect. Germans had also significant advanced the field of rocketry so the war closed, USA (operation paperclip) and USSR scrambled to capture German scientists and government officials to power develop their war machines, space programs and their hold over their own populations.
At the war closed The USA dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which opened a new trench warfare against USSR with the trenches being the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Both USA and USSR now had the secret of the atomic bomb and the rockets to deploy them and suspiciously eyed each other for 50 years occasionally weaving and feinting.
The true agenda of this war was to remove ancestral monarchs from Europe so there would be less people influential enough able to resist the globalist ambitions of the multinational banking families, who wished to expand their sphere of influence. The Russian Bolsheviks ousted The Russian emperors family (House Romanov ) from power 6 months before the war ended . The disintegration of empires was the hallmark of this war and it's companion war (WW2) less than a generation later. By the end of these war both the Austro-Hungarian empire and the Ottoman empires were gone, reduced to small countries. While the Russian empire now became a Communist state was expanded particularly after WW2.
In fact by the beginning of WW2 it was no longer kings and emperors declaring war it was presidents, prime ministers and governments, though the British still went through the ceremony of asking for a royal rubber stamp for the process.
Following the industrialization of production in Europe there existed a growing bubble of excess labor and people who were becoming dangerously comfortable with the benefits of efficient production. People had free time and were beginning to educate them selves. This industrialization was perverted into a war machine with factories now turn to creating devices of destruction rather than creature comforts. This was the first industrial war with vast resources turned to supplying the war effort.
2 world wars
European empires destroyed: 3 ( Austro-Hungarian, Russian*, Ottoman.) *The Russian empire was destroyed but expanded as the USSR.
Empires on the decline: several (most notably the British; losing India in '47 and Canada in the 60's, Germany; losing its colonies during the first world war, and a third of its territory for half a century)
People killed: 6% of the worlds population, mostly working class soldiers and civilians caught int he crossfire. A disturbing trend of 20th century warfare has been the increasing numbers of civilians killed from one conflict to the next.
Winners? after WW2 USA was apparently a winner having stayed out long enough to pick a winner, or at least appearing to do so. Well the real winner was the federal reserve system shipping all this skimmed money back to the European globalist bankers. Russia was also a big winner having absorbed most of the former Austro-Hungarian empire and a good third of Germany, which it held until the USSR dissolved. The USSR (2.0) is coming back and beginning to re-absorb states that broke away in the 90's. We are seeing this occurring with eastern Ukraine right now. As we know the House (of Rothschild) always wins.
So there you have it, an in a nut shell version of the WW1 you never considered.
Approximately 1 in ever 5 males in Australia volunteered to go to war in the 1914-1918 period, very few were to realize when volunteering, the appalling conditions in France and Turkey and the fact the war was just a geopolitical chess game run by European bankers to expand their own power.
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.

Wikileaks Oz-SEA corruption coverup exposed
Your aren't allowed to know about what you aren't allowed to know about.
In a truly big brother move the Australian government is trying to keep the suppression of information order itself secret.
What is next is secret prisons and secret prisoners.
From wikileaks.org press release:
We end with the words of the god father of modern 'conspiracy theory' JFK, He was murdered in broad daylight, but that was just a co-incidence right…
900 Million dollar poverty enforcement scheme (work for the dole)
From this article today, which you may have seen on television today if you watch ABC.
Now watch the video again considering these details which you may have missed:
1) Food was being delivered to people who would otherwise go hungry.
This means poverty is severe and welfare is clearly failing. This generally means there are very limited prospects for employment in this area because money is simply not flowing in this community.
2) Tons of food was being transported, in particularly vegetables and bread. Question is why aren't these products being sold in supermarkets? Are supermarkets simply squeezing out local manufacturers?
3) The young woman (Stacey Binns) was working for no payment.
This means no amount of work she was doing would increase her disposable income, and would not start money flowing in her community. Therefore what she was really doing was being forced to perpetuate the poverty in her community.
4) The young woman (Stacey Binns) quite rightly pointed out that there are hundreds of application for every job advertised. Her chances are slim of getting out of the poverty trap deliberately created around her.
5) This is one of 18 high unemployment areas around Australia where this scheme has been rolled out this month and already the federal government wants to expand the scheme further making it nationwide by July 2015.
6) The government will spend 900 Million dollars rolling out this scheme, that's almost enough to send a rover to the surface of Mars. It well known that these schemes are generally not successful and actually if anything reduce the chances of transition from welfare to work.
7) 900 Million dollars is enough money to give 18,000 people 50, 000 for one year, I think 18,000 people having a basics income would generate more jobs than a downward economic spiral. The almost 1 Billion dollars will be wasted on a variety of corporate scumbags lining up for a hand out while attacking people on benefits.
8) Work for the dole or 'help and hassle' welfare schemes only really function when the economy is super hot and unemployment is extremely low (2% or less), not when unemployment is well above 5%.
9) All of this has been tried before and even without the stipulation to engage in slave labor, when there are no jobs no amount of looking for them will be successful.
Proof? (Warning kiwi accents.)
I cant try any harder!
-A young man shows quite succinctly by canvassing numerous Auckland suburbs that the jobs were simply not there.
The clip is from a much larger series by Alistair Barry which you can find links to here:
Don't be too impatient give it a few minutes, you are practically looking at a working crystal ball, everything you are seeing now in the Australian economy was tried in New Zealand 25 years ago. The result was a disaster, by the time the right wing neo-con government was voted out off office in 1999 , the economy was shrinking at 2% though strangely the government statistics department was claiming it was growing at 2%. Though that is a separate scandal in itself which strangely got very little media traction. Of course this all happened while most western economies were booming, showing how much of a complete failure it was to improve the economy.
This of course was simply a tactic to reduce the average wage and introduce a whole new strata of New Zealand society to a lower standard of living ,and quite a few to abject poverty. Interestingly this right wing government launched a radical slashing of welfare just after assuming office on a strong majority after a lack luster two term Labour government with leadership changes in the dying days, sounds too bloody familiar.
Inflation note:
For reference in 1991 $50 NZD was worth about $86NZD in today's money. The inflation problems experienced in Australia in the 90's had already happened in NZ in the 80's. Food prices are comparable with Australian prices though meat is about 20% less expensive due to exceptional livestock rearing climate (fertile soil, lack of drought and neither too hot or cold most years). Beer and other alcohol is 50% cheaper due to much lower excises, personally I think if it wasn't the country would be empty and Bondi Beach would be full. New Zealand actually produces enough food to feed itself and all of Australia, a good reason to be in the good books with the bloody kiwis, or at least have a comprehensive invasion plan.
Commonwealth bank $100M loans Ponzi
They said it wasn't happening here, it didn't happen here. The truth was it was better covered up here.
And while Victoria Police corporation worked so hard to shut down Occupy Melbourne as a street protest the very reason we were protesting the dirty frauds committed by banks, Victoria Police corporation were investigating this fraud.
The bank heres received secret bail outs, and at least one bank has been involved in propping up a Ponzi scheme and snatching the victims houses.
Worst of all was CBA (Commonwealth bank of Australia's) response to the scam, get on board and side with the scammer to steal the house.

Liberal party stench of corruption intensifies
I wish we could all 'do the heavy lifting' like Tony Abbott and his family are.
Dad bringing home 500,000 per year with a guaranteed superannuation of 200,000 per year plus perks, Daughter getting a full scholarship to university, Mum used to work for the Rothschild's (masters of of the financial universe) bank. Gee they are doing it tough! Well they would be doing it tough if the average wage was 2 million per year, but its not. This greedy pig has his snout in every trough and is as corrupt as they come. He has the audacity to talk about doing things according to the constitution. Well Mr Abbott, the Australian constitution I have read clearly specifies the penalty for treason as being, death by hanging. What is does not specify is where the culprit is to be hanged from. Honestly, it's looking more and more likely that Tony Abbott will be the first sitting Prime Minister of Australia to be hung for treason, and I suggest that if we can't hang him by the scrotum we'll hang him by his ankle…until dead.
Old money is behind politics, as the puppet masters.

This week, our box contained fresh green and wax beans. I LOVE fresh green beans! I remembered a salad that I had found several years ago (maybe in Rachel Ray's magazine? I have no idea.) and attempted to recreate it from memory. Whether I was right or not, the end result was delicious.
|Boil beans for about 5 minutes.
|Blanching in an ice bath
|Grape Tomatoes
|About this much basil - close to half of a container
|The dressing
|Mix it up
|A strangely angled shot of dinner:
Bean salad, homemade "creamed" corn, rice and pork loin.
Summer Bean Salad
- Fresh green and wax beans (roughly 1 lb green and 1/2 lb wax, but any amount would do!)
- 1 pt. grape tomatoes, sliced in half
- Fresh basil, chopped - close to 1/2 cup depending on your taste
- 1/4 c. red wine vinegar
- 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Clean beans by snapping off the stem end and rinse.
- Add to boiling water. Bring back to a boil and allow to boil for around 5 minutes - until their color brightens. You want the beans to remain firm.
- Blanch the beans in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Meanwhile, slice your tomatoes and basil, and whisk the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper together to make the dressing.
- Drain the beans, and pat dry.
- Mix beans, tomatoes, basil and dressing. I never end up using as much dressing as I make, as I prefer my salads not to be "soupy" with the dressing. Use as much or as little as you like.
- Serve cold. This salad is even better the next day.
- Enjoy!

Your Stories: Contractor Complaints
Monroe County, N.Y. - Several homeowners have reached out to 13WHAM with complaints about a local contractor by the name of George Frisch, owner of Dynabuild.
The stories are similar. The contractor appears reputable and legitimate, but after contracts are signed, problems begin.
Jadwiga Howard of Spencerport says a big box retail store recommended Frisch to replace her deck. She signed a contract and paid a $2,000 deposit.
Howard claims Frisch was a no-show. She has filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, attorney general's office and police.
Liliana Marcello says her parents in Spencerport signed a contract with Frisch for a sun room extension in April. Now, more than five months later, the work is incomplete and the family has paid Frisch more than $20,000.
"He seemed reputable. His rating on the BBB website at that time was A. There were no complaints, so they went ahead with it," said Marcello.
Marcello says of the money paid to Frisch, $7,000 was for the windows.
Marcello and her parents just learned Wednesday the window supplier may put a lien on their home because Frisch never paid for the windows.
Currently, Dynabuild Construction Group, Inc. has ten customer complaints on the BBB website.
Frisch said he was not available to meet with 13WHAM Wednesday, but provided this statement: "We are working to resolve these issues with our customers and are working on refunding deposits and settle claims."

Although the blog itself has scrubbed any references to Lupin Lodge, the event calendar is quite clear and specific about the venue. On March 6, 2011, there is a scheduled 7 PM meeting.
Masters and slaves Together of Santa Clara County wants to make YOU HAPPY.There is a warning for all MAsT members to hide their "toys" because children could be around, as well as the following statement:
Want to come to a meeting on a SUNDAY? Want to come and have an early dinner at the on site restaurant?? Want to come and have a late HOT TUB dip? Want to come to the meeting and go swimming FIRST?
Want to come to the meeting, enjoy the company of other Masters, slaves, and power exchange couples and then PLAY????
Come join MAsT SCC at our NEW HOME at Lupin Lodge in the hills 11 min. outside Los Gatos.
Lupin is open and aware of our group, has all their permits and has been around 78 years- we are welcomed with open arms, and hope that your time with us will be a warm, loving environment with leather folk and M/s friends.MAsTSCC also describes their facilities at Lupin Lodge.
Drawback? It is nestled next to the permanent residents yurts so play noise has to be zero after the meeting (or we can walk down to play at our old larger spot). But this is t he HUGE WIN happy spot for me. It's like meeting in a very warm round living room instead of a huge round dance hall. The intimacy level is about 4X what it was, and we can enjoy the floor space.AANR Club/Member Liaison Terry Justice made the following statement last May when allegations against Lupin first emerged.
I immediately called the club and spoke with the owners, I also sent them any information I was able to find. Of course they were shocked and very annoyed that this was about to befall them, they are very proud of their family-friendly, non-sexual resort.
They thanked the AANR office for catching this, and assured us that there would be extra security at the gate and in the resort. These groups will be turned away and or ejected, and will never be welcome at Lupin Lodge.AANR proclaims on their website:
The atmosphere of an AANR club is wholesome and friendly. People who enjoy nude recreation distinguish between nudity and sex and keep the two in their proper perspectives. Clubs are careful about who enters their facility and if anyone seems to be there for the wrong reason, they will be asked to leave.AANR President Susan Weaver announced on February 11 that Internal Administration is looking into "several" matters that will be "dealt with in a just and appropriate manner."
Lupin Lodge is affiliated with AANR and The Naturist Society (TNS). As of this writing, neither organization has said whether or not Lupin specifically is the subject of any investigations.

Notebooks give Tortora tough entry
MIAMI - Leadership in the local sprint division will be up for grabs when a field of nine older runners go six furlongs in Saturday's $60,000 Groomstick Handicap.
Trainer Manny Tortora appears to hold the upper hand heading into the Groomstick, sending out Fappie's Notebook and Alice's Notebook as an uncoupled entry.
Fappie's Notebook appeared headed for stardom after finishing second to Caller One in the 2000 Carry Back Stakes and winning a third-level allowance race at Saratoga last summer. But the injury-plagued colt has made just four starts since his victory at the Spa one year ago and will make his first appearance in the Groomstick since stretching out to register a game victory in Hialeah's Seminole Handicap on April 15.
Earlier this season, Fappie's Notebook, a son of Notebook and Miss Fappiano, was second, beaten a half-length by Istintaj, in Gulfstream Park's Grade 3 Deputy Minister Handicap.
Fappie's Notebook has trained well for his return and always runs well fresh.
Alice's Notebook has made just three starts this season, sandwiching a pair of allowance wins around a fourth-place finish. Last year, he was a three-time allowance winner over the local strip and finished second in the Kenny Noe and Rexson Hope handicaps and third in the rich Smile Sprint Handicap.
Horacio Karamanos replaces Sebastian Madrid aboard Alice's Notebook, with Madrid opting instead to ride Fappie's Notebook for Tortora in the Groomstick.
While Tortora's Notebooks appear to be the horses to beat in the Groomstick, the co-highweights are Callie and Jake and B L's Appeal, each of whom carry 118 pounds. Both were upset in their last starts by the 3-year-old Built Up, finishing second and fifth in the My Luke's Reason Handicap at seven furlongs.
Callie and Jake won the Ponche Handicap earlier in the meet while B L's Appeal, winner of Gulfstream's Grade 3 Spectacular Bid Stakes at 3, captured a pair of allowance races here in June.

High Pressure Sodium
With their great efficiency and impressive life times, High pressure Sodium bulbs are the most common for outdoor area fixtures such as street lighting, parking lights, and other areas where security lighting is necessary. Because of this, it is incredibly important to purchase a high quality HPS ballast. A faulty ballast can result in the lights going out, which in public areas can result in injuries, which can result in law suits. This is why we stock only premier grade HPS replacement ballasts from the most respected of brands.
In our inventory we have the two most common types of HPS ballasts, which are Core and Coil, and Electronic. A Core and Coil HPS ballast uses the common magnetic core and coil hardware, which provides great heat tolerance and a wide range of configurations. This makes the product very versatile and suitable for many applications. Electronic HPS ballasts are small and light, making them easy to install in awkward shaped and sized fixtures. They also provide great power regulation, giving better lumen maintenance.

Oakland hosts millions of visitors for sports events, restaurants, and growing technology businesses. The city also gets lots of out-of-town johns who prowl the streets for sex. Of the 660 arrests last year for prostitution, more than two-thirds of suspects came from outside the city. Tomorrow, reports the New York Times, the city takes an unconventional step in fighting its image as one of the nation's most crime-ridden cities, introducing a website, reportjohn.org, that authorities hope will deter customers of the sex trade. Residents will be encouraged to note down the license plate numbers of suspected johns' vehicles and describe the activity they witnessed. Police will send a letter to the address where the vehicle is registered.
Karely Ordaz Salto of the city's Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Task Force says Oakland is the first city to target johns in this way. "The hope is that they will think twice and this will deter them," said Lt. Jill Encinias of the Oakland Police Department. "We really need to attack this problem from all sides. We need to start focusing on the demand." The city's problem with prostitution has been underscored by a police department scandal involving a young prostitute who claimed that she had had sex with officers and said the police had tipped her off to raids. The scandal led to the departure of three police chiefs in less than two weeks.

Pass the Alavert and a face mask.
When I referred to the house as a moldy mess in the first post, I wasn't kidding—it is a MOLDY MESS.
Just before the first major walk-through planning meeting at the house, Brad said: "I've got masks in the truck. I can't be in that house for any time before my throat is itching. Want a mask? And I thought, Wow. Mold must really bother this guy. If he's allergic to mold, we're in trouble.
I passed on the mask because mold doesn't bother me. Please. What is the matter with me? This kind of mold bothers everybody. The next morning I realized two things:
- I may be "immune" to mold but my upper respiratory system is not—guess who woke up with swollen eyes and a throat that felt like sandpaper?
- Just do what your contractor suggests.
So, now, I wear a mask.
And here's why…. Please look what's growing in the crawl space inside the hatch. (I watched too much LOST. I now associate everything underground with the hatch.)
Meet the mold—a temporary resident.
It gets worse but you're not going to see any pictures of how much worse because I'm not going to the back of the hatch by myself—not without a light. No way, Jose.
Do you see the mold on the post. Yep, that's mold. Thank you, God, for mold specialists. And masks.

Explore the most popular trails near Heavener with hand-curated trail maps and driving directions as well as detailed reviews and photos from hikers, campers and nature lovers like you.
Short route. If there is a waterfall, it was inactive when we went. Some interesting history about the runes. Another trail in this location which is a bit harder but still only about half a mile.
Small waterfall and the Viking runestones are the highlight of this short, relatively easy hike.
This is a scenic loop showing the terrain and waterfall, very excellent stone work, and the big feature is the runestone. It's fascinating to contemplate the Vikings actually discovered this area over a thousand years ago.
This is an easy short walk giving a decent sampling of local plants, wildlife, and terrain.
Nice little hike in the area of the ruinstone.
It was very informative. The hike back out is steep, but worth it to get to see the different stones.
Nice, short educational hike.
Easy hike for the family and quite educational
Plenty of rain prior to our visit meant the waterfall yards from the runestone (and its protective shelter) was in full flow. For me, the waterfall was more interesting than the subject of the park.
The loop to the rune stone is a nice, although short, walk. Plenty of stairs and some wet stones as pavers makes this a trek for the able bodied. For me, this park is not so much a destination as a waypoint...a good place to let the kids get out of the car and stretch their legs.
We did not get to check out any of the parks other nature trails during our brief visit.
I have wonderful memories of the Runestone. It is one of 7 OK parks set for closure in August.
Nice little walk. Adds to the visit, gives you a better feel of the terrain than the hike to the stone.
Very unique, who ever suspected the Vikings made it to Oklahoma! The trail is very short down into a little canyon. Features a small waterfall and of course the engravings.

I was bored. It wasn't my intention to post a blog about this. This is kind of an out-of-the-blue idea because like what I've said, I was bored. I've been busy lately because I already have a day job. My plan was to blog about the book I'm currently reading but up until now, I'm still stuck midway. I'm proud to say that I've got great books piled up and ready to be read. I'll probably post book reviews pretty soon.
Anyway, back to this wishlist.. I fell in love with these clothes from Zalora. I want to put them in my closet soooo bad it makes me want to hurt my paycheck. My wardrobe needs to be updated because of the fast transition from being a college-girl-who-wears-baggy-clothes-and-leggings-at-school to working-girl-who-wears-heels-and-corporate-attire to save her life. It's a struggle for me because I need to work really hard to look mature on my current job position. They say I look youngggg and it kind of sucks. lmao. But as you can see, the items that I picked from Zalora aren't all for corporate attires because some of the clothes I saw are just too cute to handle and I couldn't help myself but to add them to my wishlist.
I hope I can find the time to update my blog after 2-3 days because even I want to be active on the blogosphere again. I miss my old routine huhuhu.
PS: If you want to get a discount on Zalora, use my code to get 15% off!!
