"Who is it who decides that one man should live and another should die? My life wasn't worth any more than his, but he's the one whose buried, while i get to enjoy at least a few more hours above the ground. It is chance, random, and cruel, or is there some purpose or pattern to all this, even if it lies beyond our kin?"-written by Christopher Paolini
Entered Key Club and joined the Lymphoma Leukemia Club this year as a way of branching into school events and into other volunteering opportunities.
I order to narrow down possibilities for future careers post high school and college, I decided that volunteering would be a good way to go. During my freshman and sophomore year, I was a volunteer at Alvarado Hospital in the main building and the rehabilitation center. It was rather interesting interacting with patients and other hospital personnel, as well as getting acquainted with the actual setting of working in a hospital. Now, I currently volunteer at my school library shelving books and also coming up with ideas on how to better improve the library and have students use it more.
I'm still trying to figure out my passions and interests that could turn into a tangible career. But so far I've found that I enjoy helping others who would like to receive such aid. I enjoy peering into the physiological realm of people and why they think and do certain things. Listening to real people's emotion and understanding their emotion and feelings is particularly bizarre. Overall my interests circle around people and how they can be helped and how they can come together.

1. What do you consider to be the outstanding accomplishments of your child during the past three or four years? Why did you select these as the most important?
My child is consistently able to maintain her good grades and she has done more than 100 hours of volunteer work at AlvaradoHospital when she was in 9th grade. Volunteering is the best way to prepare her for an adult hood.
2. In what areas has your child shown the most development and growth during the past three to four years?
Her maturity and better use of her time to do school work.
3. What do you consider to be his/her outstanding personality traits?
She is very considerate of others.
4. What are the best five adjectives that describe your son/daughter?
The best five adjectives to describe my daughter are kind, polite, mature, pretty and smart.
5. Are there any unusual or personal circumstances that have affected your child's educational experience?

Emptiness so vast it goes on for years.
The beginning of life is never noticed by the one who lives it
The beginning is wrote by those who saw yet impossible by the one who did.
It was so busy yet quiet yet nice sounding to me
My life seems to have been lived before me
from my genes not being my own
they have been passed down
the ultimate hand me down and family heirloom
So silent yet busy all to make me
My current living relied indirectly from bread
Donuts and muffins and croissants all mine for the taking
No authentic French
Fat with chocolate and creamy fluff
breads all baked: the perfect perfume scent
in this little room so busy yet quiet and lonely to me
Kids forced into understanding struggling with attention
prefer the shifting craze of child minds, controlled chaos reigns.
Preferably the lands of Del Mar yet unable to use any tickets the rides so huge and terrifying
Everything is terrifying
Animals also smell when not washed
People should wash animals more
So busy yet quiet and scary to me.
Kids grow, and the chaos is some what contained
people never stop the insanity or try in vain to find the order
in math or speech which can make sense
or hide from it in the land before times or with kids next door
The people try to prove or share
So busy so twisted yet fragile to me
Kids make connections
friendly or more so
we try to find love and die with veins of
frustration, embarrassment, false hope
we laugh and I smile all the while the life continues
Water, so thick and smooth
yet cannot float atop it
how can one be so attached,
yet fear it all the same?
Drinking, swimming, admiring
the shimmer that gave possibilities
And water bending would have been cool too
the perfect setting.
Confused about identity until 12
life lived in a sector so odd yet
so adored by others
Mulan has always been favored
(Mulan ll not so much)
How could so much confusion exist in
a conscience coherent person?
So busy so complex
but amazing to me
Family constant
all through this
still friendly still fighting
still all part of this
links like chains
So full so lively but crazy to me
What is life?
Too much philosophy pondered
from where I come from
and how it has come to me
Do people ponder the smells of bread
or the feel the tempurpedic beds?
Space is all
So tiny still trying
to be tiny me
1. The three qualities you like best about yourself are...
I'm not exactly the most curious person but I enjoy the extrospective side of myself. Living inside of my brain is a 24/7 occupation so using my conscience to peer into something outside of myself is an adventurous relief. I also enjoy the fact that I'm able to discern the importance of topics easily. Although my mind can venture down various avenues of thinking, straightforward thinking most times can lead to saving time and energy.
2. The accomplishments you are most proud of are...
My best accomplishment is my reputation. It might sound self conscience, but it is comfort in knowing there are people who are willing to help you for the sole reason you help them.
3. The outside of school activity that has been most rewarding for you is....because....
I enjoyed competition bowling because I learned about accuracy. One component off kilter pushes the ball on an undesired path. Do all components correctly and try best to repeat it. Perfection is not required but as a person reaches perfection, life isn't so troublesome.
4. What is your greatest area of weakness, and why?
My Achilles heel is giving in too much. I do not adapt well to conflict or fighting and prefer that they cease quickly.One of the easiest ways to do so is to simply give up the argument.
5. Are there any "extenuating circumstances" that I should include in the recommendation? For example: difficult adjustment to high school; family structure change; illness or other personal issues, etc.
My family has issues about letting other people into their lives about being able to trust them. They prefer seclusion and doing tasks themselves which limit their social interaction with anyone other than family.
6. Right now, what are your top priorities?
My current priority is finishing up this year strong and applying for colleges soon.

This I Believe
I am an English teacher whose interest in literature probably started with Catcher in the Rye in 9th grade. The author, J.D. Salinger said, " I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy." Like Salinger, I am not a paranoid, I am a pronoid. I believe the world is not out to get me; instead I believe the world is out to help me. When I look back on my 438,000 hours on this earth (give or take a few), I would be hard- pressed to come up with even 1000 hours of downright meanness that I have experienced and hopefully many fewer that I have inflicted.
Granted, I am one of the millions of lucky ones. I had parents who loved me (enough) and was warm, fed and spoiled. My big sister made me eat a bar of soap one time… that counts as several hours of downright meanness, I suppose. I made my best friend pick her scabs so we could see fresh blood under the microscope (chalk up a few hours of meanness in my column). When my mother sent me to the back yard for a tree branch off the pear tree for "a good switching", she wasn't being mean; she was trying to teach me something (here is what I learned: always get a green one; they hurt less.) In fact, when I asked my husband many years later if we should switch our children, he found the idea delightful and asked "Who could we switch with?" All of these experiences confirm my pronoid view.
My pronoaic vision is that more good things happen than bad – a thousand fold. People open doors for me all the time. I have spent at least one hundred hours of driving time "merging" peacefully ahead of someone who let me into their lane . Strangers have paid a few cents here and there if I was short. A woman rescued my dog from a busy intersection and held him there until I could come with a leash. I have seen teenagers pick up clothes off the floor without complaint (well, okay, the first one,anyway). At the grocery store, an elderly veteran bought my son a D-Day Commemorative issue of Time Magazine just because my son had excitedly pointed it out to me. Babies smile at me.
I know "bad things happen to good people." My pronoiac belief, however, is that more good than bad things happen to everyone. And, in fact, if part of our meanness to others comes from the "re-attributing" the bad things that have happened to us, I assert that if more people appreciated the kindness they receive, the world would be a better place. My father died in a plane crash as a young man ; I had thyroid cancer at 15 and breast cancer at 40. My husband and I divorced after 25 years of marriage. My new dog chews shoes (and books, remote controls and furniture). But when you look at the ying- yang symbol of my life, trying to find a balance between the good (white) and bad (black) hemispheres, the white one is still disproportionately larger than the black one.
This year I will be 50. I want an additional 438,000 hours (or more) of time to pursue this research into pronoia. However, if I am granted only a fraction of my manufacturer's warranty of 100 years, I , at least, plan to let someone in ahead of me in line, to smile at babies and to pick up clothes off the floor without complaint (well at least the first one,anyway) just to prove my point.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") and KSF partner, the former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., remind investors that they have until March 18, 2014 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. (NYSE:CTB), if they purchased the Company's securities during the period between June 12, 2013 and November 8, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period"), or if they held shares as of the record date of August 30, 2013. This action is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
What You May Do
If you purchased shares of Cooper and would like to discuss your legal rights and how this case might affect you and your right to recover for your economic loss, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-877-515-1850, or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn (firstname.lastname@example.com) or KSF Partner Melinda Nicholson (firstname.lastname@example.com).

About the Lawsuit
Cooper and certain of its executives are charged with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements in connection with the proposed merger between Cooper and Apollo Tyres Ltd. during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On September 30, 2013, Cooper shareholders voted to approve the merger, but beginning on October 4th disclosures revealed that it was imperiled. On October 7, 2013, Cooper announced that the merger was in jeopardy and that Cooper had filed a lawsuit to force Apollo to close the deal. Then, on November 8th, the court denied Cooper's request for an order requiring Apollo to close on the merger.

Press Statement
The Central Valley Stonewall Democratic Club, the Stanislaus Democratic Central Committee, and the Progressive Democrats of Stanislaus County condemns congressional candidate Mike Berryhill for using homophobic and hate speech as campaign tools. Such diatribes only distract attention from current issues.
In a press release dated February 4, 2010 Mr. Berryhill stated the following: "You would think after the recent terror attempt in Detroit that this administration would understand the gravity of the threat this nation faces in Islamic terror," said Berryhill. "Unfortunately, this administration seems to think that the way to strike fear into the hearts of terrorists across the globe is to put gays in the military. They see that and it adds to their appeal in recruiting terrorists. It is clear that this confused administration should stop trying to turn the military into a liberal university and focus on what the American people want: protection of our homeland by stamping out terrorists, not encouraging them."
Mr Berryhill's press release comes on the heels of Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, urging politicians to keep rhetoric at a minimum, arguing they should "keep the impact it will have on our troops firmly in mind." Berryhill's position is in opposition not only to the views of the Secretary of Defense but also to Admiral Mike Mullen, who heads the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and as well as those of retired General Colin Powell who now supports a policy of gays serving openly in the military.We need to focus on protecting our country at this critical time without diversionary tactics. We also need to bear in mind that the issues of gay equal rights and opportunities boil down to civil rights, and this is no time for Americans to refight old discredited issues of denial of equality to distinct groups of our citizens.
We should remember that all of us, by virtue of our citizenship, deserve equal rights to serve our country. And we should further remind ourselves that one of the leaders on Flight 93 on 9/11 who helped torpedo the terrorists' plan to crash the fourth plane into an American monument, and died in a field in Pennsylvania, was Mark Bingham, a gay athlete and Cal graduate, who was later honored by Senator John McCain for his selfless sacrifice. Surely Mr. Berryhill would want to salute him also.
Homophobia, the politics of divide and extremist rhetoric do not represent true Central Valley values. The Central Valley Stonewall Democratic Club demands a public apology from Mr. Berryhill and a pledge to not use homophobia and fear-mongering in future campaign efforts.
Questions or comments should be directed to Martina Virrey at (209) 937-9038.

30th May
** See video below of his first TV commercial
Kevin Charles "Pro" Hart MBE
was born on 30 May 1928 at Broken Hill, New South Wales. Pro was considered the father of the Australian Outback painting and widely admired for capturing the true spirit of the outback.
Pro's Collections were always a sell out. Greeted Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers, his art resides in many large international collections.
It is estimated that he painted over 70,000 paintings in his lifetime
Pro to prove authenticity of his paintings, used his own DNA and was the first artist worldwide in 2002 to do so.
The younger days of Pro
Pro schooling was by correspondence schooling. At the age 7 he started drawing and illustrating inproving his talent as he matured.
Pro worked as a miner by day and self taught himself to paint during the night.
He earned the nickname "Professor" , the name "Pro" in his younger days because of his inventions.
Pro's works where mainly painted with oil or acrylic, using paintbrushes and sponges scenes of rural town life.
Pro also did sculptured works using welded steel, bronze and ceramics
His style made it to TV.
Experimenting with art techniques all his life, Pro used any tool or method to achieve the desired outcome for his work
His most famous moment came with a series of television )
carpet commercials for Dupont "StainMaster Carpets". (see video below
Pro did not limit his art to canvas and carpets, nothing did not escape him, 100's cars, steam shove etc.
His art work can be seen on covers of pocket sized Gideon Bibles, Willow Ware kitchen products, Arnott's biscuit tins, air conditioners and more.
Pro was not a lover of politicians.
He once suggested
that members of the Australian Labor Party and the Greens be thrown aboard a canoe in the middle of the Tasman Sea, with nothing more than a broken oar and rusted compass.
Pro believed in Government conspiracy theories. He believed that governments have been covering up of UFO "sightings" and had a world "database" containing information on every human on the planet.
Surprisingly Pro a personal friend of One Nation Party founder Pauline Hanson, financially assisted her when she was on trial for fraud charges in 2002.
Pro's final years
Pro was a collector of vintage cars and motor cycle and invented many kinds of engines and machines in his time.
In 1976, he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire and in 1982 he received an Honorary Life Membership of Society International Artistique for outstanding artistic achievement.
Pro was honoured with an Australian Citizen of the Year award in 1983, and for his charitable work and generosity.
Pro Hart developed motor neurone disease in later life and died on 28 March 2006 at 2:45.
Sadly he had been unable to paint for the last six months of his life.
A large state funeral was held for him on 4 April 2006 in Broken Hill being the first state funeral in New South Wales ever held west of the Blue Mountains.
The value of Pro Hart's artistic works, was almost $30 million at time of his death.
This advertisement was first broadcast on Australian television in the early nineties.

The best part of summer is the heat. Because cooling off is So Much Fun.
1. Fudgesicles. I made some of my own last night and I can't wait to try them! Recipe from Baking Bites right here: http://bakingbites.com/2010/08/homemade-fudgsicles/
Of course there are tons and tons of fudgesicle recipes all over the place, so feel free to hunt down your own favorite. I'll probably give a few different ones a try and post results here.
2. Pool. Swimming. Whether doing laps for exercise or just a soak in the roped off 18+ section (Yes, I go to the public pool, do not have my own here). My Pool Pass is my most treasured possession when the temp goes up to , oh, 75?
3. Frogs. and Tadpoles. Because they are in water and to catch them you most certainly will get wet and icky and then have to go swim in the pool again. And because my boys like to go frog hunting. You can substitute fishing here if you want, but I object to hooks on the grounds that they usually end up embedded in somebody's thumb. Usually mine.
4. Beach. If I lived close enough to one to actually spend summer days there it would be #1. But I usually manage to get there at least once a year (stretching out summer into fall, winter, spring, whatever). Sand is icky you say? Oh go wash it off in the water!
5. Snow Cones. Because I really do need another blue stain on my favorite T-shirt. Yes, ice is always good on a hot summer day, especially when covered in red or blue chemicals that are Very Very Sweet.
6. My gardens. Yes, I get all hot and sweaty when playing in the dirt. Then I can head for the pool again. And I get to enjoy this:

DescriptionA mysterious force trapped all the fairies from the land of Avalon, upsetting the balance of good and evil. A hero rises to the occasion to save all the magical creatures and restore nature's equilibrium.
Faerie Solitaire is an implementation of the classic card game with some gameplay variations and a fantasy theme. The objective is to draw a card from the deck at the bottom, and click on other cards that have numbers one unit higher or lower than it, organized on several stacks occupying most of the screen, to make them disappear. Their suit is irrelevant, and clicking on cards in sequence initiates a combo bonus. Each card removed gives money and starts to fill an energy meter at the top. When no card can be clicked, the player has to draw a new one from the deck. Each level ends when the deck is all spent or, in an ideal move that the game calls "Perfect", all the stacks have been cleared.
The top meter builds up the energy necessary to finish the level and later release one of the fairies from its prison. All the levels have certain goals to be accomplished, like completing it within a specific time limit, collecting a set amount of money and making combos of a certain number of cards.
Some cards have special proprieties. Thorn cards are locked facing down, and can only be turned upwards after all the rose cards are removed, with these usually buried beneath the stacks. The ice wall cards are similar but can only be unlocked by the fire cards. They act like power-ups throwing balls of fire towards the locked cards after being clicked.
The money can be spent on upgrades at the separate Faerie Land screen. The Tree of Life decreases 25% of the face down cards on each stack. The Hourglass makes the active pet grow more quickly. The Wishing Well gives 5% more gold for each level. The Magic Clock shows how many cards are left in the deck. The Flower Garden and Obelisk give one extra undo move. The Fae Grass fills the meter a bit. The Aura Ring stores useless drawn cards as energy, destroying the top card of a stack when fully charged. The Orb of Fortune shows the next card in the deck, when the cursor is hovering over it.
Eggs and various resources can be found behind some stacks and collected to be used later. The eggs can be tended in the hatchery, where they give birth to the game's pets. The pets have to be nurtured, consuming a number of resources to grow and reveal a secret. Besides the main Adventure, there are two extra modes: Quickplay, where previously completed levels can be replayed, and Challenge, where the obligatory level goals are much harder.

Just how real is violence? And where does Aikido stands in all of this?

Re: Just how real is violence? And where does Aikido stands in all of this?
"I'm a Mog: half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend!"
-- John Candy in "Spaceballs"
Human nature is such that we look for categories and labels by which we can recognize and identify ourselves and each other. It starts with infants learning to discern "self" from "non-self" and adds layers from there. Even Koko the gorilla (trained in a form of American Sign Language) was able to identify herself as "Koko fine gorilla."
I think that if we didn't have words and terms for these things, we would still make intuitive distinctions based on our feelings and self-perceptions, compared to our perceptions of where others are coming from.

Akiko's jam had became an in-joke among Key fans over the years. The jam ingredients were never mentioned in the game, leading to some really wild speculations:
Spoiler for "Normal" level speculation:
Spoiler for "Weird" level speculation:
Spoiler for "Freaky" level speculation:
My idea is to create a thread for fellow members to post either their own speculations or the various amazing/ridiculous speculations found on the internet. Have fun...

Going by the color alone (that's all we have, since we can't smell or taste it ), it could be made from ginger, natto, wasabi, or even all three.

Its the *special* ingredients that only Akiko herself having access to that has everyone nervous No matter which way your brain goes, it leads to very uncomfortable territory...

Not just the colour. The funny shifting effects when Yuuichi ate it could mean that it makes the eater hallucinate. Probably some kind of mushroom inside it as well.
It looked like the thing was glowing, so radioactivity can't be discounted.

Quick! Put a lead jacket around that jar~!
I'm just surprised Yuuichi hasn't whipped out a geiger counter yet or some other measurement intrumentation to measure (potentially) hazardous effects or called HazMat.

I am disappointed that some of you equates the lovely, elegant Akiko to a murderer...I was the one who killed Mr Minase, and I shall prove that the delicious jam is delicious and fit for human consumption and Yuiichi knows nothing about appreciating good jam. * Chugs down jam...*.........*Dies*
Jokes aside I think the jam is Kanon equiavalent of Space Cake...Yuiichi's vision blurs/hazy after a small dosage...Look, even Akiko seems to forever on 'high' state always inhumanely cheerful and smiling, she could even clear the snow piled up outside her house in record impossible time. I think since she has been consuming it for the longest time, she is able of coherent and logical thinking..Wow...Just wow...No offence but I consider myself one of her biggest fans.
Still I think the jam is pretty much an acquired taste.
Please feel free to refute my claims...Oh yea Nani I love your Ayu avatar, got any more of similar quality for other lead characters?

ick. From what I've heard of durian, that's really the only ingredient required to get the effect we've seen. The garlic is just overkill. (And ginger is delicious, but nothing could save garlicky durian.) Of course some people do love durian fruit, but then again Akiko loves her jam.
I'd vote for it being simply, Durian Jam.

I love durians. Be it the fruit alone, or durian cream puffs, or durain cakes, or durian ice cream.
But come to think of it, despite the popularity of the fruit in these regions and the seemingly endless ways to cook it (durian fried rice, anyone?), I have yet to see durain jam being sold in stores here.
Oh wait, durain jam does exist! But it seems to be only 1 company making it.
Maybe the taste is a tad too unique for even durain lovers? :x

I love durian too, but the reason why I added durian into the mix is because it has a very strong taste, and when you combine that strong taste with the equally strong ginger and garlic, the taste of the three parts will compete for attention in your tastebuds, leading to information overload and a general clobbering of your senses.

I'm thinking it's got to have at least some natto in it, because of the way it stretched when Akiko spread it on the toast...your normal jams and preserves just thin out when spread with a knife, but her jam looked like it had a stretchy / stringy quality to it. Natto would account for that, as well as for it being an acquired taste. Beyond that, though, it's a mystery to me...and I hope it always stays that way.

Sunday(denver), i figured it would be a 2-3 hour wait for tickets, boy was i wrong. We figured it out as soon as we saw the line, it was too long to describe, snaking from the venue all the way through the parking lot and into an 18-wheeler parking lot/ industrial area.
We park the car and walked off to search for the end of the line. We thought there was zero chance we would get tickets, the line was probably close to a mile long. We got in line anyway.
10 hours later, we have tickets, sunburns, broken glass for bones, but we feel like a million bucks.
This will be a day that lives on forever, "The day the whole world stood in line"
Thanks Trent for the opportunity to beat the bots.
Who else stood in line for 10 hours?

One person's heart had stopped and two others were in critical condition, he said.
All three were taken to local hospitals. Their conditions were not immediately available.
Padilla did not have other information.
Police could not immediately confirm where the shooting took place.

To date she has collected over 2,000 toys, 30 red wagons, and $73,000. Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation Makenna had a wish that Lake Stevens native turned Hollywood actor, Chris Pratt, would help her brainstorm and support her service projects for the hospital. Over the past 18 months Team MakPratt has joined forced to help kids facing medical conditions.
Recently, Chris Pratt started a Crowdrise campaign giving contributors the chance to win a trip to Hawaii to visit him on the set of the next Jurassic World film. This four week campaign raised $822,000 to support the orthopedics department at Seattle Children's Hospital.

RP Data's revelation that it is possible to get 16% rental yields in one of Australia's emerging housing markets has some commentators urging investors to get active, while others are not so sure
For years, property investing has been the enclave of those with plenty of cash to spare, but some observers believe this is starting to change.
After reviewing suburb statistics commissioned from RP Data, Aussie Home Loans executive chairman John Symond said there are at least half a dozen suburbs in each capital city where rental yields are greater than the cost to repay the mortgage.
"It's the perfect time for the average Australian to consider a move into property investment if they have some money saved. Both fixed rates and variable rates are the lowest they have been in years, with interest rates below 5%."
Housing prices in some areas are historically low, according to the research, but are starting to move back up and Symond claims investors can earn rental yields of between 5% and 10% in some areas and as high as a 16% in Bellamack, Darwin.
However, Northern Territories broker franchise principle, Tony Schelling, said he is concerned the data may be slightly skewed.
"Bellamack has had some pretty new homes, so 16.9% -you'd have to have very, very low cost housing. The average house in the area is probably $600,000 and they're getting about $1,000 per week for rent. I think the figure does seem a little high."
Schelling said he didn't want to question RP Data, but said it's possible for figures to occasionally become 'adjusted' by limited sales.
Otherwise, he largely agreed with Symond, adding that local rental yields are high, especially for units.
"Darwin in particular has opportunities for those who have a focus on investment and unlike towns like Gladstone in Queensland, which also have high rental yields... Darwin has a multi-stream economy."
Can you afford to buy in this suburb? Find out how much you can borrow
Top Suburbs :
mt gravatt
mt colah
west rockhampton
The sales evidence for the NT market emerging suburbs has always been out of touch with reality, if RP Data dig deeper with their data they will find they are calculating rental returns on vacant land sale prices, Bellamack's titles have only been registering in the last 12 months and resales with constructed houses are few and far between.I think people like John Symond and RP data need to do a bit more research before releasing potentially misleading information in the way of press releases to push their own companies.Good on Tony Schelling for his diplomatic quote obviously not trying to offend the powers that be from the big smoke
Agreed. I have made the same comment regarding previous RP data articles. A friend who bought in Bellamack advised me that the title for her land sale was lodged after the builders had completed the work, but was based on the vacant land price. If anyone cared to follow it up they would see that the prices are based on land not completed packages - it makes me wary of using other RP data figures.
Do you need help finding the right loan for your investment?
When investing in property, it is important to make sure that you not only have the lowest available rate that you can get, but also have the correct loan features for your needs.
Just fill in a few details below and we'll then arrange for a local Aussie Mortgage Broker to contact you and work out what features or types of loans are right for your needs. We'll even help with the paperwork. Plus an appointment is free.

text: Many points deal with games. And all can have a debate. Here once every other day one subject will be posted. Then everyone will debate that subject as best they can. It could be simply why you think it is a good or bad idea and why, but you can go in detail. Try to give multiple reasons for why something is good. If it's a game mechanic, list multiple ways for that mechanic to properly be used and the potential it has if you are pro. If you hate it you could explain in what ways that mechanic would simply be a hindrance to the game. And remember when you debate you don't simply post your opinion. You also have fun trying to disprove the opinion of people on the opposing side and protect your opinion to any complaints given to it. I'll add that a topic doesn't need to only have two sides. It could simply ask your opinion on something that could have 10 different sides. If we had a favorite character debate, well any character can be chosen and you would have to truly show why that character is the best in your debate. As for the game and other competitive aspect of this thread, well I'll choose the best 2 debates for each topic. Best debate gets 2 points while 2nd place gets 1 point. The goal here is to reach 20 points, but that can be changed if needed. And debates will sometimes focus on one series over the other. I will make sure to have debates that could fit both series and ones that will fit only one series or even a specific part of a series (like a debate dealing with only one game and/or some aspect in it). Now for the first topic. Topic 1: There are different levels of linearity in mario games. To sandbox/non linear games like Super Mario Sunshine versus very linear games like Super Mario Bros 1 and 2. And then there are games in between like in Super Mario Galaxy 2 where there is a straight forward map, but whether you get all the stars and what order you get them in is open to you. What amount of linearity is best for games?

The Ultimate New York Diet by David Kirsch
© 2006 David Kirsch
This salad tastes delicious hot or cold. When chilled, the steak is not as spicy, so use ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes. If serving it warm, use only ¼ teaspoon. You can use extra mesclun greens if baby bok choy is not available.
Makes 1 serving.
• 6 ounces sirloin steak, trimmed of fat
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• Nonfat cooking spray
• 1 head baby bok choy cabbage, sliced (about 1 cup)
• 1 cup mesclun greens, washed and dried
• 1 tablespoon grated carrot
• 1/4 cup bean sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Ginger Soy Dressing (see Index)
Cut the sirloin into ½-inch slices, and place them in a small bowl. Add the ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes. Squeeze the lime juice over the meat. Toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperate for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with cooking spray. Add the bok choy, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the leaves are just wilted but the cabbage is still crunchy. Remove to a serving plate.
Wipe out the skillet, and coat with cooking spray. Heat over high heat. Place the sirloin slices in the pan, and sear for 30 seconds per side for rare or 50 seconds per side for well done. Set aside.
Line a serving plate with the bok choy, mesclun greens, carrot, and bean sprouts. Arrange the steak over the salad.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 6 hours and serve chilled. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.

Academic Write My Assignment has become so famous among the student's community. The students can completely rely on them for their work. But, one needs to be careful while choosing a writing service company because like any other field, it is also filled with fraudsters who will take your money and give you no service in return. Therefore, do a little bit of research about the company before you assign them to your work.

Disadvantaged students today participated in workshops learning how to protect the environment on the occasion of the Earth Day.
A group of 80 students displayed poster exhibition, participated in quiz on the Earth Day and performed plays highlighting issues like 'save Trees', 'save electricity', 'stop wastage of water' and 'stop use of plastics' at the American Centre here.
Started in the US in 1970, Earth Day is an annual event during which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
Highlighting the role of youth in tackling environmental issues, American Centre director Joanne Joria said, "Young people are amazing agents of change. They are our future and are key agents in making our world cleaner and greener".
Rachel Sunden, Deputy Director of the American Center, encouraged students to consider career options focusing on the environment.
"There are many different career paths for people who want to help the environment. Everyone from architects to product designers to farmers can make a huge difference if they consider green options in their work," she said.
The programme marked the culmination of a 60,000 USD grant on 'A Campaign for Green Cities' which Earth Day Network and Banglanatak.com received from the US Embassy in New Delhi.

Our newest Fly/Cruise expedition, Antarctic Express: Peninsula in Depth provides up to 7 days on the Peninsula, maximizing your time and optimizing your chance of immersive encounters with iconic wildlife like penguins, whales and seals. This 11-day itinerary sees you departing from Punta Arenas.
Your first step on the 7th continent will take place in the most readily accessible part of the Antarctic Peninsula, the most northern stretch of Antarctic land. Stepping foot on the 7th continent is a moment of pleasure and excitement that affects each traveler differently.
This energetic port is the gateway to Argentina. Buenos Aires is often called the "Paris of South America" for its classic architecture and rich European heritage. The city has wide boulevards and cobblestone alleys, quaint cafés and markets.
The infamous Drake Passage extends about 1,000 km (600 miles) between Cape Horn and the South Shetland Islands. To reach the Antarctic Peninsula it is necessary to traverse this stretch of water at right angles to the current flow.
The Falkland Islands, also known as Islas Malvinas by the Argentines, are located some 400 km northeast of Tierra del Fuego, the southern-most point in South America. This archipelago itself consists of East and West Falkland, divided by Falkland Sound.
Punta Arenas, Chile, is your gateway to Antarctica for all of Quark's fly-cruise voyages. It lies 3,090 km to the South of Santiago de Chile and is the most important urban center in the Magallanes Region.
This slightly crescent-shaped, mountainous island lies some 1,300 km (800 miles) east-south-east of the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas). It has not only an astonishing concentration of wildlife, but also glaciers, fjords and low-lying grassland.
These are a group of rather barren islands 1,360 km (850 miles) north east of the Antarctic Peninsula. The climate is rather harsh, with strong winds, frequent rain and snow. Snow falls about 280 days each year.
The South Sandwich Islands are located about 800 km (460 miles) south-east of South Georgia. The islands form a chain some 390 km (240 miles) long, comprising 11 major and several smaller islands. The islands are volcanic in origin and some remain active.
The South Shetland Islands are approximately 120 km north of the Antarctic Peninsula and will usually be your first stop en route to the Peninsula. Home to a great number of animals, you'll spot an abundance of wildlife, including various species of penguins, seals and sea birds.
Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world. It is now a major tourist town, complete with casinos and a variety of restaurants. Ushuaia is commonly used as a base for hiking, and of course, cruises to Antarctica.
All of Quark's Antarctic voyages include great daily outdoor activities such as Zodiac cruises, hiking and some also offer snowshoeing on early season voyages. However, the more discerning adrenaline junkie can also choose from a range of optional adventure activities, with varying exertion levels, to experience the 7th continent in a more personal way.
Contact a Quark Polar Travel Adviser to learn more about adventure options, including physical requirements and availability.
There is no Antarctic currency. However, if you visit Port Lockroy in the Antarctic Peninsula, U.S. dollars, Pound Sterling and Euro are accepted, as are Visa and MasterCard where your transaction will be charged in U.S. dollars.
The best place to prepare for your Polar expedition is the Quark Gear Shop. The online Gear shop carries all the clothing and equipment you'll need to make the most of your expedition to the Polar regions.
Most of Quark's Antarctic voyages begin and end in Ushuaia, Argentina, with the exception of our Fly-Cruise voyages that may start and/or end in Punta Arenas, Chile.
"There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing." Ranulph Fiennes
We travel to the Polar Regions in the summer months when the weather isn't that cold, however temperature can change unexpectedly.
All passengers are responsible for obtaining all necessary passport and visas prior to the departure of your voyage.
Everyone reacts differently to sea conditions whether during the crossing of the infamous Drake Passage to Antarctica, or even during calmer seas.
We know that packing for your Polar voyage may be challenging, so Quark takes the guess work out of packing an appropriate coat. All our passengers will receive our signature yellow expedition parka on the first day you're onboard the ship.
Included in the cost of your expedition is an emergency evacuation insurance policy with a maximum benefit of USD$500,000 per paying passenger. This included policy provides coverage only while traveling with Quark Expeditions, between the first and last day of the expedition.
A common question travelers have is "When is the best time to travel to Antarctica?" The answer depends on what you want to see or do. Keep in mind that you cannot cruise to the Polar regions all year round.

marvelous two trips in one
After the Antarctic and Spitsbergen, I thought that I wouldn't see another Quark adventure. Fortunately, they came up with this trip. It did not disappoint. The adventures, sights, wildlife, staff, and food were all up to normal Quark standards. There were a lot of people that missed out on this trip. Bravo on a job well done by the whole staff.
This was the most amazing experience! The expedition crew was brilliant from Shane who was there everyday to make sure everyone gets onto land dry; Meghan with the stand up paddleboard excursion; Ruslan who happened to be our Zodiac guide for most of the excursions and Ed for sharing his Everest experience, to the rest of the crew. Everything was impeccably organised. Hope to see you all in the North Pole one day!
70° of latitude at 12 knots per hour
This was a five-star itinerary visiting some of the most remote British overseas territories which hold an amazing range of biodiversity.
70° of latitude at 12 knots per hour
This was a five-star itinerary visiting some of the most remote British overseas territories which hold an amazing range of biodiversity. The expedition staff not only gave superb talks on ornithology, geology, marine biology and history, they also were out on deck looking for birds, dolphins and whales to show us.
Although this was an expedition ship using zodiacs to access remote beaches, the ship itself was like a five-star hotel in the quality of food, service, accommodation and its well-stocked library.
From Antarctica to North of the equator we had some fabulous wildlife experiences in historic places travelling at not much more than the speed of the heroic polar explorers's ships at the beginning of the last century.
Antarctica 2018
Trip of a lifetime! Thanks to all the crew!
Great trip
We had a terrific time on this trip. All was expected, no surprises. Weather was mostly cooperative, increasing our opportunities to get out on the Zodiacs. Food was terrific.
Great trip
We had a terrific time on this trip. All was expected, no surprises. Weather was mostly cooperative, increasing our opportunities to get out on the Zodiacs. Food was terrific. Hotel staff great, room just fine (except I wish we could turn the volume down a bit on the in-room speaker!) Nighttime party when we crossed the circle was amazing, as was the bbq on back deck. Icing on the cake was going by the Cape, taking advantage of change in weather and a bit of extra time. Thx for all.
It was a wonderful trip (with some anxieties)
The trip started out well. The weather was fine. Not only is the ship quite comfortable, but the expedition team is excellent. We all enjoyed experience and learned a lot.
It was a wonderful trip (with some anxieties)
The trip started out well. The weather was fine. Not only is the ship quite comfortable, but the expedition team is excellent. We all enjoyed experience and learned a lot. The cabins, dinning facilities and service, lounges, etc are all satisfactory and good. Of course, our trip also had some extraordinary experiences-- due to bad weather, our return flight was delayed five days. Needless to say, the anxieties caused by the uncertainty were high during the delayed period. But the staff was top-notch and dealt with this unexpected long delay (we were told we set the weather related delay record for the Quark Antarctic expeditions). Still, all passengers were treated well. No shortage of anything. In fact, the staff team actually tried to do some extra landings during the wait. In the end, despite all the delays and disruptions, we were all able to safely get home. A major downside of this delay is the financial loss for those of us whose flights and lodging had to be cancelled, changed, or rebooked. This makes purchasing travel insurance that can cover such unforeseen problems that much important. Overall, Quark did the very good job. We would go with Quark for some other expedition trips.

Emu Oil today is widely understood to offer a complete source of essential fatty acids such as Omega 3, 6 & 9.

100 % Australian Made
The original recipe for Black Hawk pet food was developed and manufactured here in Australia more than 10 years ago. For many of those years the recipe was exported under private label to various countries to satisfy an ever growing need for Australian made, super premium foods.
However, it wasn't until 2007 that demand was created here in Australia for an affordable, super premium pet food, a food that could also maintain a high standard of quality and consistency. Black Hawk, the brand, was created to successfully fill a niche within the Australian market place. You can find out more about our history by visiting our About Black Hawk page.
We are 100% Australian made & owned and very proud of this fact.
The Hollistic Approach
There are many different schools of thought regarding what holistic means. Some believe holistic simply means natural, while others believe holistic to embody not only a diet of whole foods, but an overall lifestyle embracing mind, body and spirit for inner health, peace and wellbeing. Black Hawk sits in the middle of these two extremes and believes holistic food to have a multitude of health benefits from the inside out. Holistic foods incorporate functional ingredients that are whole foods which have individual or associated benefits for optimal health and wellbeing.
Being holistic does not mean our food is created without the benefit of science and research. The Black Hawk base recipe was scientifically developed with guidance from a world renowned pet food research and development team, having extensive experience in pet nutrition. It is from this base recipe that Black Hawk, as we know it today, was created. All our recipes are scientifically formulated to be complete and balanced, while also meeting the AAFCO standards for growth and maintenance of puppies, kittens, cats and dogs.
