This is a story about me, about who I am, about how I got to be me, and about the people who helped mold me into Makayla Carlie.
There comes a time when life's disappointments start to add up. When you can't cry one more tear. When you can't feel that surge of panic one more time, or when you can't pray for one more day. You wonder, are we humans having a spiritual experience, or are we spirits having a human experience? What does it all mean? Do we all have a purpose? People said I was a hero; that I could persevere through anything I put my mind to. How could I be a hero when I never got a choice? Nobody asked me.
I did what I hope anyone listening to this would do. While one life was taken too soon, another needed to live, really live. She needed to be the center of somebody's universe. I was that universe. Just like the pea under the mattress, I felt her.

"Ready for More Please!"
I'm so looking forward to listening to the next book in this series. I commute and don't have time to read it myself so I have to wait for the audio version. I loved these characters, especially Pea! Plus this book ends on a bit of a cliff hanger so I'm dying here!
Maybe all this had to happen for Pea.
Jettie Woodruff is a new author for me and this is my first book by her but most certainly not my last. I am absolutely taken by surprise at this very intricate and multifaceted story that Jettie has written.
Throughout the book you are Quentin Tarantino'd forward and back gaining more and more knowledge of how this young girl, Mikki, came to be on the run with a very sweet little girl nicknamed Pea.
Not only is it a very steamy romance, it is also the story of familial connection, lies, deceit, unconditional love, affairs, jealousy, mystery... I mean what else could Jettie have possibly packed into such a fantastic book? And even with all these layers, it is very easy to follow and so intriguing that you can't possibly put it down.
I love books about strong female leads and Mikki is one of the toughest. From the hand she was dealt before she was even born, she had the deck stacked against her yet her sheer determination and her undying love for this little Pea, makes her one tough broad. I loved Mikki.
And Blake. Oh, Blake. It wouldn't be fair to write much about Blake because he is part of the mystery and going into this book blind is the way it should be done.
I'm off to read book 2. I can't possibly let this parade end yet.
"Loved it!"
At first it was hard to listen to the narrators voice but it grew on me and I loved it.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (WTNH) – Doctors from across the country are benefiting from innovative patient-centered care approach at Community Health Center.
Doctors in 25 states tuning into Project Echo. They're on a myriad of devices from laptops to smart phones.
Primary care physicians are connecting with specialty doctors through a sophisticated video conferencing system.
"We describe it as making geography irrelevant. You can put people together and connect them and it doesn't matter where they are," said Dr. Daren Anderson, Director of the Weitzman Institute at Community Health Center, transforming healthcare delivery.
He says, "The primary care providers learn how to manage things they might not otherwise have been able to manage and the patients benefit being able to get care in their community with the provider who knows them best."
At the head of this session, specialists at the Integrative Pain Center of Arizona.
The focus is chronic pain.
"We tend to create Project Echo clinics that are focused on what we call hotspots – areas that are acutely urgent for the country, that are urgent for our patients," said Dr. Anderson.
First case – from Norwalk, Connecticut.
A man – a cocaine user – recently cut off from years on oxycodone.
"He states his pain– upon waking — is 10 out of 10. It's difficult for him to be even able to put his socks on," explains his female doctor on the screen.
"You just gotta have a come to Jesus talk with this guy. What you are doing, you're not functional, you're using cocaine, don't know where you're getting the money for that, we have some suspicions frankly. Opiates are not in your best interest," responds expert in Arizona.
Up next. Dr. Dan Wilensky, who practices family medicine in Meriden, Connecticut.
Treating a woman also dealing with anxiety and depression.
"I don't really like the medicines I have her on, and I'm hoping for some suggestions on what I might move to– as we progress in this," said Dr. Wilensky.
Later, he admits, "I went into it feeling like I'm comfortable with managing pain and I learned from them just how much I was just skimming the surface."
Among the recommendations – listening for what matters. To figure out what the next best move should be.
Another expert at Integrative Pain Center responds, "The other thing is, when a patient sees you are that interested, they start to open up and they start to become a little more, oh this guy really got my back."
"As I get more contact with them, I start to feel more and more like a specialist. I know what I'm looking for, I know what to do," said Dr. Wilensky.
Dr. Anderson says it comes down to recognizing primary care providers don't have a lot of time with patients.
Project Echo is a way to efficiently meet doctors' needs — so they are better able to care for their patients.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Everyone loves a transformation story. Rags to riches. Plain to beautiful. Weak to strong. Esther's story is that, but it is much more. It is a thought-provoking study of God's invisible hand writing silently and unseen across the pages of human history. Perhaps most of all, Esther's story is the account of godly attributes like courage, dignity, wisdom, and strength?attributes that blocked an evil plot, overthrew an arrogant killer, and replaced terror with joy in thousands of Jewish homes.
Author Chuck Swindoll interweaves the ancient, real-life story with insight not only into the virtues of Queen Esther, but also into how the qualities that formed and empowered her can be ours. Esther is the second volume of Charles Swindoll's best-selling series, which examines great lives from God's Word and reveals the strengths and weaknesses that make God's men and women both great . . . and human. Many of the most beloved biblical heroes were ordinary folks. Shepherds. Fishermen. Servants. Widows. Even harlots and petty thieves. One by one, they changed the course of history.
Swindoll explains that these men and women did not become great in their own strength but were empowered by God when they surrendered their lives to Him. To live such a life that God considers great is within the reach of everyone who submits to Him.

Charles R. Swindoll has devoted his life to the clear, practical teaching and application of God's Word. He currently pastors Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, and serves as the chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary. His renowned Insight for Living radio program airs around the world.

Bible SudentColumbus, OHAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Very enlighteningMay 20, 2011Bible SudentColumbus, OHAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This book gave me great insight into the book of Esther. It showed me that is was just not a book about the first (and only) beauty pagent menetioned in the bible. It revealed God's presense and grace to a people who had strayed from God and on how He turned things around even though He is not mentioned in the book. It showed how an orphan girl could become a queen while an very predjudical man (similiar to Hitler) would be killed on the very tool he built for another. It also showed how much God protects and loves the Jewish people - inspite of themselves.

Right about this time in our hectic quarter system (week 7 of 10), one grabs at any opportunity to get a little bit of extra zip out of the old neurons. So among the many news feeds crossing my desktop, one really stood out–how to make myself smarter! I'm definitely going to read that paper.
In a nutshell, Oscar Ybarra of the University of Michigan and his colleagues suggest that human beings are such social animals, that we actually improve our cognitive function after only ten minutes of social interaction [1].
Students were randomly assigned to dyads and given the task of discussing a social issue, protection of privacy, for ten minutes. Other participants took a short reading comprehension task, did a crossword puzzle, and completed a figure rotation task. These tasks were designed to give the participants something intellectually stimulating to do that was not particularly social, as the tasks were completed by individuals working alone. Control participants watched a 10-minute sequence of Seinfeld by themselves. Subsequently, all participants completed a speed of processing task (are these dots the same or different?) and a working memory task (object recognition).
Based on previous research, it was not surprising to see the participants doing the intellectual activities (figure rotation et al.) showed higher levels of cognitive functioning in the post-tests compared to the TV-watching control group. I have always thought that most TV makes us somewhat brain-dead, and much prefer to see children using any indoors time playing interactive videogames than watching TV. Okay, Stargate and football are obvious exceptions at our house.
What was relatively surprising was the finding that the social interaction group did just as well as the intellectual group.
So the moral of this story is that you shouldn't put your Sudoku books away just yet, as this type of activity is very good for your brain, but you can add socializing with your friends and family to the list of activities that help keep you mentally healthy. Now I won't feel so guilty about taking time away from my desk to join Mr. F on our daily treks to the Nautical Bean.

[Official press release] - there's some classic marketting spiel ...
Debuting this season, the new Breckenridge Gondola will make this perfect mountain town a little more perfect as it sets the standard for a resort transit system that both is environmentally progressive and creates a streamlined link for a high capacity of visitors between town and Breckenridge's Peaks 7 and 8. The gondola, slated to open Christmas 2006, coincides with the start of the transformation of these two resort base areas, named The Peaks at Breckenridge. Following last season's opening of the Imperial Express SuperChair, Breckenridge's crowning jewel and the highest chairlift in North America, the gondola and the Peaks at Breckenridge reinforce Breckenridge's position as a leader among world class resort destinations.
Breckenridge's gondola sets the standard as a new way to approach the role of mass transit in growth and development. A landmark partnership between the Town of Breckenridge and the ski resort, the gondola represents a unification of the community to address the need for an environmentally savvy mode of transport that moves a large number of people between the resort and historic Main Street. Environmental vigilance was vital in this project with more than 125 gallons of fuel saved per day from a decrease in resort-run busses. In addition, as part of the agreement with the Town of Breckenridge that included $6.7 million from the town to build the gondola, Breckenridge Ski Resort dedicated 64.7 acres of prime development land to the town for conservation and open space.
The Breckenridge gondola proved to be the answer for moving a high capacity of people as well. The gondola provides 150 percent more capacity than the bus system operating at optimum levels. It will transport 3,000 people per hour between Main Street and the redeveloped base areas, eliminating long lines waiting for a crowed school bus. Also, skiers and visitors will be able to ski or ride all the way into town. As part of the gondola project the town and resort partnered on the new Skyway Skiway that winds into town, creating a complete vacation experience for the most discerning travelers.
In addition to being an environmentally friendly way to move thousands of visitors, the gondola will be one of the most unique modes of transportation among resort destinations. With the rise of cultural and educational travel among Americans, Breckenridge Ski Resort decided to culturally enrich the guests' experience riding the Gondola. The seven-minute ride on one of most modern gondolas built will feature fantastic views of the protected Cucumber Gulch preservation area as well as an opportunity to learn more about the history and culture of Breckenridge with each car serving as a "capsule museum".
As the resort steps into a new era of resort villages with the development of Peaks 7 and 8, the need for a first-class mass transit system that seamlessly moves all types of visitors becomes essential. Upon the completion of the Peaks at Breckenridge, there will be 450 residential units and an array of skier services and guest activities that will drive people to stay and visit the new base areas. The gondola will significantly decrease traffic volumes and increase the number of visitors to the special Breckenridge downtown, the largest historic district in Colorado as people move back and forth between the two places.

Evidently you found your pants if you just had to change them. Also, I didn't know you had more than one pair of pants.
This was a headquarters building explosion, not a refinery.
It's in Mexico City and I was there not long after an earthquake there in downtown Mexico City and a building was collapsed. I was told it collapsed during the earthquake because part of its building materials was plastic foam instead of steel. After hearing that, I don't trust any building in Mexico City to stand up very long if there is any kind of outside stress.
IIRC, the earthquake was in 1985 and another problem (besides lousy construction) was the ground - not stable, but filled in old lakebed.

BYRON — Byron Union School District is now accepting applications to fill a vacant seat on its board of trustees.
Now-former trustee Ken Silman, who was elected to a third term in November, resigned last month so he could apply for the vice principal position at Excelsior Middle School. Silman said Wednesday he made the decision so as not to "taint the process."
Those interested must live in the Byron district, be a registered voter, over 18 years old and not an employee of the school district.
Applications must be submitted by 3 p.m. May 23.
The board will interview candidates at its May 30 meeting, accept oral or written public input, and select the appointee by a majority vote, according to the district.
Silman said he had mixed emotions about his decision.
"When I first started looking into a career in administration, Excelsior and Heritage High School were the only two places I was considering. I was not expecting another opening for at least a few years," Silman wrote in an April 29 resignation letter. "When the position suddenly came open, I decided it was time to try and realize one of my dreams."
As it turns out, Robert Bowers was selected as the vice principal. Silman said he now will apply for the trustee vacancy.
The appointed trustee will hold office until the next regularly scheduled election in November 2014.
Applicants should complete a board member candidate information sheet and return them to district administrative assistant Bev Nicolaisen or e-mail to her at email@example.com.

Our platform and outreach support initiatives help kick apathy into action.
San Jose, CA (Silicon Valley) (PRWEB) August 21, 2014
Stephanie Jelley, co-founder and CMO of Crowdera, will present at Kickercon 2014 in Houston on August 28, 2014 – August 30, 2014. Jelley with Rich Matsuura, CEO of Crowdera, will moderate a panel that features the benefits of specialized crowdfunding platforms. She will also be a featured presenter for the launch of TownMeet™ for civic crowdfunding, speaking on how educational, governmental, and non-profit organizations can mobilize to leverage crowdfunding to successfully fund projects.
"At Crowdera, we have discovered that the influence of crowdfunding extends far beyond raising funds," Jelley said. "We have helped stimulate communities' passions for effecting social change, and in essence, creating movements to better their communities. Through our work and in preparation for launching the Civic Crowdfunding TownMeet, we will highlight how small groups and communities can build movements from the ground up," she added.
Crowdera's platform provides a simple, effective way for individuals and organizations to achieve their fundraising goals, reaching a far greater audience via social media to build a community of participation and support. As a "boots on the ground" organization, Crowdera supports organizations and individuals to create movements that seed changes they find important in their world.
Jelley said, "Our platform and outreach support initiatives help kick apathy into action. We've successfully launched our first initiative, #Change Counts, a campaign that for as little as one dollar per household, can transform a community while engaging a far greater percentage of community members. We intentionally create campaigns that inspire activism without requiring inordinate amounts of any individual's time and money."
The Kickercon 2014 event will feature more than 30 speakers with hundreds of attendees sharing their knowledge about creating a groundswell of support. Mark E. Sackett, with a long list of roles as President, Creative Director, Executive Producer, Director, Public Speaker and at the helm of several companies, is in a unique position to share what motivates individuals to work together for the betterment of all. Sackett said, "We connect for many reasons, mostly to sell or to get something, but I believe the power of us working together is greater than anything we can accomplish on our own. In crowdfunding where a lot of your support is faceless, we must learn to build those relationships in powerfully sustainable ways!"
The program will highlight benefits civic crowdfunding:
- Used strategically, civic crowdfunding helps schools and other non-profit organizations build meaningful engagement, spread their messages, and expand their donor base to increase their overall funding and impact.
- Civic crowdfunding helps those with limited resources to support projects in their communities and schools that inspire them. Microdonations, as little as a dollar, build community.
- Crowdfunding gives those with limited time an opportunity to support something bigger than themselves. #CommuntiyEngagement #SocialGood

Future of Funding for the Things That Matter

The company will use a £5 million regional prize it won in the Bank of Scotland's Corporate £25 million Challenge to build a distillery at its Herefordshire farm as part of plans to build a sustainable business.
"It's a nice way of using the potatoes and it's quite nice for us to be able to diversify," said a Tyrrells spokeswoman.
The distillery will have the capacity to produce 100,000 bottles a year and the first bottles are expected to be distributed next summer. Part of the winnings will be used to build an advertising and marketing campaign around the spirit.
There are no indications yet where the vodka will be sold, but the brand values will be similar to those of Tyrrells' established products.
"We thought the vodka was in keeping with our target audience," added the spokeswoman.

How Can You Explain That Result?
Rooney, Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy were all denied on more than one occasion by the Sunderland goalkeeper. But if the Mackems had played with that sort of passion earlier in the season, they would not be the laughing stock of the Premiership sinking with the worst record in the 14 year history.
United's run of nine successive league wins came to a grinding halt, and Sunderland were relegated. Not a good night for either side, was it?
Kevin Ball: 'I told the players beforehand to go out and apply themselves because it could be an important night in gaining some respect, not just from our fans but the country as a whole.
'But it is no good just doing it in one game. We have to do it on Monday and in all our remaining fixtures.
'We have to recognise Kelvin was outstanding but he has been fantastic since Christmas. When you remember the way the supporters turned on him, he has shown immense strength of character to come back from that.'

I'm not in the hypothesis of a single node configuration, but more on the hypothesis of installation of several nodes, with the organization making the installation using some services, that are not NetBSD system ones (say PostgreSQL, Samba etc.) but that may or may not be used on a particular system. The /etc/defaults/rc.local.conf will list and document the services variables, the defaults for the organization. While the /etc/rc.conf will set the customized values for this very node. If I understand correctly the framework, what I call NetBSD system services are the ones whose scripts are placed in /etc/rc.d; with the default configuration in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. If one wants to change the NetBSD system services scripts, the framework gives the /etc/rc.conf.d/ facility to overwrite almost everything without changine the /etc/rc.d/scripts themselves. I mean simply to mimick this for third parties services say. And I think pkgsrc should place the script in this /etc/rc.local.d/ and add default policy to /etc/defaults/rc.local.conf, and not add all possible services to /etc/rc.local.d, since rcorder orders everything, the decision of starting or not being taken after (that is adding everything on earth to the rc.d framework will just slow done boot time for nothing at all). But perhaps am I misunderstanding what you are pointing me to?

Lord Of The Rings star Elijah Wood joins list of Hollywood stars criticising Donald Trump
19/10/2016 - 12:06:35Back to Showbiz Home
Hollywood star Elijah Wood has branded the US election "a circus" and claimed Donald Trump does not have the "character" to be president.
The Lord Of The Rings actor said he was disturbed by the race between Mr Trump and Hillary Clinton ahead of the final presidential debate in Las Vegas.
Elijah told the Press Association: "It's a circus. It's an unprecedented time in our political process.
"It's really disturbing. I suppose it can be kind of funny, darkly, from an outside perspective. It's a little scary."
Of Mr Trump, he added: "He's not for me. I believe in a president having character and I don't feel he's got character."
Elijah, who attended the Los Angeles premiere of BBC America series Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, said he believed it was "looking good" for Mrs Clinton to claim victory in the November 8 election.
He is the latest in a string of Hollywood stars to voice opposition to Mr Trump, whose controversies have included making lewd comments about women and calling for a ban on Muslims entering the US.
Tom Hanks said he was "offended as a man" after a 2005 video recording surfaced in which Mr Trump talked about grabbing women "by the p***y".
The Cast Away star told the Press Association: "It's not right, I'm sorry. It's not right at work. it's not right in the locker room. It's wrong, period."
Robert De Niro also launched a scathing verbal attack on Mr Trump, in which he said he wants to "punch him in the face".
Robert said of the Republican candidate: "He's so blatantly stupid. He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig, he's a con, a bulls**t artist, a mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about."
However, Jon Voight has voiced support for Mr Trump, posting a video online in which he said the property tycoon "will save our America, and he will certainly make it great again".
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, which stars Wood and British actor Samuel Barnett, airs on Netflix in the UK in December.

A few weeks ago, a reader asked me . . .
"Do you hold onto your old journals? And where do you store them?"
For years I shredded my old journals because it was a cathartic exercise; it was a way of letting go of old stories, horrible first drafts, and negativity. Earlier this year, I decided to start keeping my journals because they hold a lot of notes and ideas for my next book. The book idea is still developing and nothing is set in stone, but I want to be able to refer to those journals in the future.
Right now I'm storing my journals in "my office." My office is a small cabinet space in our little house. It's a shelf in our kitchen where I keep odds and ends, like my camera, knitting stuff, stationary, 3×5 cards, and empty mason jars too. I don't have much stuff, so storing my journals isn't a problem (at least not yet). They don't take up much space and I can tuck them away and pull them out when I need to refer to them.
What do you do with your old journals?
Be well,
P. S. My writing class is filling up quickly; forty-one people have already signed up! Registration closes on Friday and I'm limiting enrollment to 50 people. Be sure to get your spot!

New Toyota Car Model Images: Newcarsales.org|Toyota Has Launched Its New Model Toyota Fortuner
New Toyota Car Model Images: Photos » Toyota Starlet @ [fast Cars, Showoffs, Tuning, Styling ...
Toyota Prius
In 2004 the Prius was completely redesigned as a mid-size liftback, sized between the Corolla and the Camry, with redistributed mechanical and interior space significantly increasing rear-seat legroom and luggage room. The 2004 Prius is even more environmentally friendly than the 2001 model (according to the EPA), and is 6 inches (150 mm) longer than the previous version. Its more aerodynamic Kammback body balances length and wind resistance, resulting in a drag coefficient ( Cd) of 0.26. The development effort, led by chief engineer Shigeyuki Hori, led to 530 patents for the vehicle. Toyota debuted the new Prius (2010 US model year) at the January 2009 North American International Auto Show, and sales began in Japan on May 18, 2009. Toyota cut the price of the Prius from ¥2.331 million to ¥2.05 million to better compete with the Honda Insight, leading some to wonder whether increased sales of the Prius might come at the expense of sales of other vehicles with higher margins. Competition from lower priced hybrids, such as the Honda Insight, also made it difficult for Toyota to capitalize on the Prius's success. Its new body design is more aerodynamic, with the coefficient of drag reduced to 0.25 Cd. An underbody rear fin helps stabilize the vehicle at higher speeds. The estimated fuel-efficiency rating, using the U.S. EPA combined cycle, is 50 mpg-US (4.7 L/100 km; 60 mpg-imp). The Prius was the most efficient car powered by liquid fuel available in the U.S. in 2009, based on the official rating. Only the first-generation Honda Insight (2000–2006) equipped with a manual transmission attained a lower fuel consumption rate. The official UK fuel efficiency data for the Prius T3 is Urban 72.4 mpg-imp (3.90 L/100 km; 60.3 mpg-US), Extra Urban 76.4 mpg-imp (3.70 L/100 km; 63.6 mpg-US), Combined 72.4 mpg-imp (3.90 L/100 km; 60.3 mpg-US). The 1.8-liter gasoline engine (previously 1.5 liters) generates 98 hp, and with the added power of the electric motor generates a total of 134 hp (previously 110 hp). The larger engine displacement allows for increased torque, reducing engine speeds (RPM), which improves fuel economy at highway speeds. Thanks to its electric water pump, the Prius engine is the first consumer automotive production engine that requires no accessory belts, which also further improves its fuel economy. The electric motors and other components of the hybrid powertrain are also smaller and more efficient than the industry average. Toyota estimates the new inverter, motor and transaxle are 20 percent lighter. Disc brakes replace the previous rear drum brakes. In constructing the Prius, Toyota used a new range of plant-derived ecological bioplastics, made out of cellulose derived from wood or grass instead of petroleum. The two principal crops used are kenaf and ramie. Kenaf is a member of the hibiscus family, a relative to cotton and okra; ramie, commonly known as China grass, is one of the strongest natural fibres, with a density and absorbency comparable to flax. Toyota says this is a particularly timely breakthrough for plant-based eco-plastics because 2009 is the United Nations' International Year of Natural Fibres, which spotlights kenaf and ramie among others.
The Prius Plug-in Hybrid is a demonstrator plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) based on a third generation Toyota Prius (model ZVW30) outfitted with 5.2 kWh lithium-ion batteries, with an all-electric range of 13 mi (21 km). A global demonstration program involving 600 pre-production test cars began in late 2009 and is taking place in Japan, Europe, Canada, China, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The Prius Plug-in is scheduled for retail sales in the United States in the second quarter of 2012 and will be initially offered only in 15 states. According to Toyota these are the states where nearly 60 percent of all Prius models are currently sold. The Prius Plug-in will be available in all remaining states one year later. In April 2011 Toyota opned its priority registration website for customers interested in ordering the 2012 Prius Plug-in Hybrid, even though the purchase price has not been announced. At the January 2011 North American International Auto Show, Toyota revealed the 2012 model year Prius v, an extended hatchback wagon, which features over 50 percent more interior cargo space than the original Prius design. Toyota also unveiled the Prius c concept, which in production form is expected to be cheaper and smaller than the current Prius hatchback. Toyota expects the Prius v to go on sale in mid- to late 2011, and a car based on the Prius c concept to enter production in the first half of 2012. Toyota plans to offer the U.S. Prius v version with a nickel-metal hydride battery pack similar to the 2010 model year Prius, and with two rows of seats to accommodate five passengers. The European and Japanese versions will be offered with a lithium-ion battery, with three rows of seats with accommodations for seven passengers. In the Japanese market the nickel-metal hydride version is expected to sell for¥2.35 million (US$28,400), and the lithium-ion version for ¥3 million yen (US$36,300). In May 2011 Toyota introduced the Prius Alpha in Japan, which is derived from the third-generation Prius. The Alpha is the basis for the five-seat Prius v planned for launch in North America, and the seven-seat Prius + planned for launch in Europe. The Prius Alpah is available in a five-seat, two-row model and a seven-seat, three-row model, the latter's third row enabled by a space-saving lithium-ion drive battery in the center console. The five-seat model uses a NiMH battery pack. Deliveries of the Alpha will be delayed due to the effects of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami on production. Toyota announced it had received 25,000 orders for the Prius Alpha hybrid wagon and minivan models in Japan before the start of sales

Nevertheless, reports of recovery in most markets in Europe and the United States have allowed Toyota to reconsider plans to increase production. Previously, the company planned to produce 6.4 million cars (data from the National Association of Japanese automobile companies). Now it is the release of 6.6 million vehicles. For comparison, in 2008 the figure stood at 8.21 million vehicles. This increase in production planned to increase by increasing the sales budget hybrid Prius III. Sales of cars in Japan, despite the crisis that continues to grow. According to the automakers, the main reason for growth - a flexible system of discounts when purchasing a vehicle that provides the Japanese government.

Charleston, SC (AP, WLTX) - After calling 23 witnesses, the defense has rested in the trial of Michael Slager, the ex-South Carolina cop accused of killing an unarmed motorist last year following a traffic stop.
The final defense witness left the stand just after 5 p.m. Tuesday. It's expected that closing arguments will take place Wednesday, and the jury could begin deliberations by the end of the day.

A defense witness has testified that what Michael Slager described when he shot an unarmed black motorist is consistent with being under a high level of stress.
Charles Morgan, a forensic psychiatrist who teaches at Yale and the University of New Haven, testified Tuesday at Slager's murder trial in South Carolina.
Slager, a white former North Charleston patrolman, faces 30 years to life if convicted of murder in the shooting death of 50-year-old Walter Scott as Scott fled a traffic stop in April of last year. The shooting was captured on dramatic cellphone video by a bystander.
Slager testified that he felt "total fear" when he said Scott wrestled away his Taser, and that details of what happened were fuzzy.
Morgan testified that high levels of stress can distort perceptions, can make colors seem brighter or vanish altogether and cause blanks in people's memories. Morgan testified that such experiences are perfectly normal in such situations.
1:15 p.m.
Michael Slager says that his shooting of an unarmed black motorist fleeing a traffic stop in South Carolina last year has destroyed two families.
Slager, who took the stand in his own defense on Tuesday, called it horrible and says it destroyed his family as well as the family of Walter Scott.
Slager, a former North Charleston patrolman, is on trial for murder in the shooting death of the 50-year-old Scott in April of last year. The shooting was captured on dramatic cellphone video by a bystander.
The defense contends Scott wrestled control of Slager's Taser from the officer before the shooting.
During cross-examination, prosecutors again showed the cellphone video and asked Slager if it didn't show the Taser on the ground just before the shooting. Slager replied that at the time of the shooting he would have said the weapon was not on the ground, but that looking at the video can see that it was.
10:30 a.m.
Michael Slager, choking back tears, says he felt "total fear" when a black motorist he had been chasing wrestled away his Taser and pointed the weapon at him.
Slager, a white fired North Charleston patrolman, testified in his own defense on Tuesday in his murder trial. Slager, who is white, faces 30 years to life if convicted in the shooting death of Walter Scott as he fled a traffic stop in April 2015. The shooting was captured on cellphone video that stunned the nation.
Slager testified that he was going to give Scott a warning ticket for a broken taillight when Scott ran from his car. He says he fired his stun gun three times at Scott. He says the two wrestled and Scott got control of his stun gun.
He says that's when he felt "total fear that Scott didn't stop." So when Scott broke free and began to run away again, he says he did what he was trained to do, firing at Scott "until the threat was stopped."
9:30 a.m.
Michael Slager is on the witness stand in his murder trial in South Carolina.
Slager is the white former North Charleston patrolman who repeatedly shot Walter Scott in the back last year as the unarmed black motorist tried to run from a traffic stop.
The shooting in April 2015 was captured by a bystander on cellphone video that stunned the nation. Jurors have watched the video repeatedly during the trial.
Slager took the stand after Judge Clifton Newman reminded him he has a constitutional right not to testify. Slager said he understands that right and wanted to speak anyway.
Slager faces 30 years to life in prison if convicted of murder. The jury is expected to begin deliberating later this week.
4:50 a.m.
Former South Carolina patrolman Michael Slager is taking the stand to tell his version of what happened when a black motorist was gunned down while fleeing a traffic stop.
Slager, who faces 30 years to life if convicted of murder in the April 2015 shooting death of 50-year-old Walter Scott, is expected to testify in his own defense Tuesday in a Charleston courtroom.
Scott, who was black, was shot five times in the back while running from the white officer. The shooting was captured by a bystander on cellphone video. Slager was fired from the North Charleston Police Department and charged with murder when the video became public.
The defense contends Scott wrestled with the officer and got control of Slager's Taser before the shooting.

It was pretty much the same for origins too in that department.
It was pretty much the same for origins too in that department.
I like it. Anyone who says it's totally changed the game are using hyperbole. It's refined things: some things are actually more complicated like talent trees, and some things are simplified like companion armor and skills.
Their focus seems to be on taking away the *illusion* of choice in character stat stuff -- things that imply a choice but all of the choices but one is totally inferior to another. There was little 'real choice' in armor in Origins. One of the plate wielders would wear Juggernaut, another would wear Dragon Armor, another would wear Warden Commander. Etc. There was little choice except who would wear what. This was an illusion. In the same manner, skills. Skills meant little other than making sure someone had Survival 3 or whatever for the Dalish, and Trapmaking/Poisons 1 or something for Lothering, and 1 point in Robbery for the quests. Otherwise they meant nothing to the story whatsoever.
DA2 takes away the illusion of choice and makes stat and gearing choices actually have impact. This is a valid of decision. Some might have liked the opposite -- making things even more complex to provide that, but there's a question of diminishing returns compared to complexity.
Then again, in Tabletop RPGs, I play everything, even 'rules light' games like Dead Inside and PDQ. So I'm used to not needing a blizzard of stats to make it an RPG.
Metacritic has the game at 83 with the mediocre reviews saying roughly "we like the new combat system, graphics are better, but it's still the same dragon age". Well, duh.
83 is still a good score. So how is this pretty bad?
The thing I really like is the icon for the responses so I'm not sitting there guessing how to respond because I don't want to lose points with someone.
The original game was 90 or such. People have taken off points for it being different from what they wanted and conversely it's being the exact same.
Anti-fans/fan haters are using this to 'validate' their view that Bioware sold out/sucks. Pretty typical fan behavior.
Finding the balance between innovation and consistency when developing a sequel or series is a very delicate art. Some series do it incredibly well (look at the early iterations of super mario bros or more recent developments in the castlevania series, GTA) and some do rather poorly (Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Madden series). It is wiser to err on the side of innovation and risk losing the fair-weather fans than appease them at the risk of isolating the people who have stood by you every step of the way.
It's quite amusing how so many players casually mock gaming industries for not catering to the horrible experiences that most "true RPGs" had.
I played through the demo and little into the game. Animation, combat, effects and graphics are top notch, especially on DX 11.
I like the chat wheel. The icons give you a quick idea about what you are going to say, but I just read the line first before clicking on it just like I did in Dragon Age: Origins.
It is not the same as Origins. I'll give you that. But take Gamespot review for example. "Lack of Overhead Camera and companions look the same."
I never used the overhead camera in DA:O either, and guess what, all my companions in origins looked exactly the same. (Morrigan for example. She had the good stuff for cold magic, and she looked exactly same for the entire game.)
The combat is good, and like many others, love the fact that you are no longer forced to run around with a healer no more. A good tank and healer backing him up would mean you would just wait for the combat to end in DA: O. Not so much now. (Flemeth on Nightmare. Shale with Fire resist, Wynn with Willpower gear, and I had my mage and Leliana towards back, shooting from the same spot, never moving around.)
Another example: I usually stacked up on pots, and had my companions drink whatever they needed at semi-high percentages. (Chug a large health pot for tank at 50% HP for example. Or smaller ones for DPS and mana at 75%.) That, almost entirely removed the need to pause the game along with having at least 2 mages in the party specced for freeing people from stuff. With 1 Mage Spirit Healer/Blood and other as Spirit Healer/Shapeshift [Morrigan] I never had any problems. (Ogre shows up, grabs Alistair, guess what, Morrigan Cone of Cold'ed his ass before I can send in a paralyze. Or vice versa, depending on which mage was closest.)
"Stop, fight, stop, wait, fight, fight, STOP! wait... Fight, stop!" Is not very "Tactical and challenging" if you have good setups and know what you are doing. A Ranger with pet, 2 Mages and a good geared and specced tank was all it took to make the game a breeze.
I like Hawke having a personality, voice, and reactions. Things like those made Shepard an icon, so why not him? If you are concerned that this makes it too similar to Mass Effect. Well, someone liked Mass Effect considering it was the best RPG in 2010.
I don't understand why people demand more of the DA:O for DA 2. They went for change, good one, and they managed to pull it off. All those reviews I've read deduct points off because of the reasons I've listed so far. Why? Those were the reasons they gave best scores at Mass Effect? I mean, why keep insisting on Neverwinter and Baldur's Gate clones?
DA 2, is a great game. If people stopped comparing it to the first one, it would easily score higher than 9. It's fun, sucks you in, provides plenty of "OH SHIT!" moments and intense combat. GET IT. You won't be disappointed.
"So, he sent a succubus to seduce you, and lure you down to his side. And yet, first thing you do is to check her ass? Ah, kid, you've got much to learn.."
DAII is actually a roleplaying game. Not a fantasy combat game. It is about character development and relationships. If this is what your primarily enjoy in Bioware games, none of their games has done it better than DAII.
the problem with DA2 is it feels like we are playing console RPGs, wich is boring most of the time (if not JRPG) old skool SNES/PSX/PS2X/N64/Sega etc. since it feels like the combats complexity took a dump. i still play eg Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 both are good interpertations of D&D and complexe combat. i mean i pause i set up alot of different atacks on my characters and i see it play out, in some scenarios when i meet weak opponents i can play mostly in RT, but harder and more chalanging encounters playing it more like a TB makes it more fun. this was in origns atleast the signs. now u only realy need to puase seldomly if u are getting "overwelmed" wich aint alot :/
If DA2 is a "console RPG", then so is origins. None of the RPG elements were taken out at all.
If you come in expecting another DA:Origin with different world settings, you sure will be disappointed. Hugely disappointed. But as a game, it did it job well (albeit not as successful as the first one). Combat is obviously tailored for console, it took me awhile to get used to (spam R to attack, then 1-2-3-4 with WASD move like an offline WoW), after that it turned out to be quite fun. Playing on hard/nightmare still requires a great deal of game-pause to make tatical decisions. Dialogue chioce changed, but I liked ME dialogue design, so no complain here.
In original DA, you actually never had a gearing choice, in-game items was so limited it didnt take much effort to pin-point BiS stuff then went hunting for it, hd a certain char wear it etc. I'm glad they decided to remove them altogether.

the game is great... but not as great as i thougth it might be :P

I liked the demo at least. I'm one who never enjoyed auto-attack combat, and so being directly rewarded for input by removing the "auto" was to me a good change. I no longer felt like I was playing WoW-rogue.
The auto attack is still in the game. Console versions have to button mash, but auto attack is supposed to be in console versions too.

5. Make sure to have a spot for everyone to ride or old enough to walk. We used two strollers & everyone had a spot to be. A wide double stroller would be hard to manage with the large crowds. My oldest definitely would get tired of walking so a riding kick board on one of our strollers was a great option. For really little ones, I would definitely pop them in the carrier if they are happy in one! While we were down there, we also took a stroll by some of our favorite DC stops: the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, & more. It definitely helps to have those strollers as we did a lot of walking!
6. There are other ways to see the cherry blossoms if you can't make it downtown. You could take a river cruise on the Potomac or paddle boat on the Tidal Basin. Check out deal sites & websites before you plan on that option. Other favorite spots that have been recommended are: Kenwood in Maryland and Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna.

Ciate Chalkboard Manicure (sephora.com, $25)
This nail kit lets your fingers have all the fun of drawing on a chalkboard. It features black matte polish (akin to the chalkboard look), chalk pens for fun designs and a clear top coat. The chalk pens are water-soluble and wash away easily if you make a mistake drawing.
For the most part, it was easy to apply and had a fun texture unlike any other kit I've ever used. It was a lot of fun to play with different designs!
I was amazed at how realistic this manicure looked when done. Once you apply the black polish, it dries into a chalkboard-like texture. Very neat!
The nail polish dries so quickly, which is a major plus. The brush is easy to use and a great size for precise application, as well. I also love the fact that Ciate includes some doodle suggestions in the kit to get your creativity flowing!
The color in the pens doesn't come out so easily at first. It requires a lot of shaking and you have to press down hard to get it to come out. I recommend dragging the pen while pressing down to get it to come out easily.
Nail design buffs and newbies alike. The best part about this kit is that it's all about fun, so you don't have to necessarily have a steady hand to play around with different designs. It's a great practice tool for more complex nail art!

About Diane G.Close

I teach from the earliest beginner through adult. My violin students are currently performing for different schools and ensembles. When students are performing with orchestras, much time is spent working on that music as well as their regular music.
About Diane
Music has been an important part of my life. It represents so much that is good in life and I do my best to communicate this to my students. I am training my students not just to be musicians but to love music for life.
*** Lesson Details ***
I treat each student as an individual since everyone is different. For some I might use a traditional approach, some just the Suzuki approach and others a combination of techniques. Whatever produces the best results. My goal is not to make strictly classical musicians but to train students to love music and carry this love throughout life. My repertoire consists of everything including traditional, Suzuki, Disney, Showtunes, etc. I have taken students to perform little concerts at the White House, schools, hospitals and concert halls to get the real feel of performing. I view lessons as a three way relationship between myself, the student and the parent so that the parent is not left out. I even have a small group called Musical Magic which incorporates magic into music. I feel I am laid back but am able to accomplish my goal through positive reinforcement. Every child or student wants to feel good about his/her playing. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible. If you want online lessons, please contact me through Take Lessons since I have additional availability to teach online. In the past six months my students have performed for the National Humane Society at their animal ball, a multi teacher recital on a local stage, and just two weeks ago seven of them performed at Strathmore. This summer I have two more concerts planned. Coming up will be an all instrument graduation with several other teachers where students receive medals for their performances. No student is required to perform but if they want to the opportunity is there. All students are required to have an instrument prior to beginning lessons. If students need to rent a violin, I will provide you with the name of a violin dealer that both rents and sells string instruments. Piano students must have a piano or keyboard.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I teach at home and have both a grand piano and electric keyboard in addition to a harp and violin.
*** Travel Equipment ***
When my students have to travel to perform, I make sure they have everything they need.
*** Specialties ***
Traditional and Suzuki approaches for both violin and piano. I also teach children with learning disabilities.and have extensive summer programs to help students with auditions for youth orchestras and school orchestras.

Student needs to have the instrument. I usually use Essential Elements and Suzuki books for beginner and intermediate students. Also String Tunes.
About Ilona
I have a Master's Degree (2012) in teaching English to speakers of other languages, and Bachelors in Music Education (2010), both from Florida Atlantic University, as well as degree in violin performance from Poland.
I studied piano in Poland for 10 years & taught both piano & violin for over 20 years. I also teach flute & cello for the past 5 years, as I studied them during my Music Education program.
For teaching music theory I mostly used Master Theory.
I personalize every lesson, and always set goals for my students. Most of my violin students are members of the Florida Youth Orchestra as well as Gold Coast Youth Orchestra and my piano students participate in Pompano Beach competition and the annual Piano Guild auditions.
I teach any age and any level, and always stress that learning a new instrument is very similar to learning a new language, it needs a lot of patience, persistence and repetitions. My lessons are customized to my students needs, and are work in progress as they needs may change over time. I always remind my students that music can give them instant gratification when they learn to play favorite songs.
I always encourage my students to tell me about their music preferences, so I can incorporate them in their music lessons.
*** Lesson Details ***
All my tutoring sessions include reviews of previously learned material and if possible the use of technology. I use students books but often bring extra study materials if necessary.
All my lessons include: technique: I like to use the Finger Power for piano students and Essential Elements for my string students, and scales for both.
music theory: I use Master Theory or other books such as Hal Leonard's Piano Note spellers & Piano Music Theory books for younger ages, music flash cards to support learning notes and musical terminology, and of course the fun part performance.
Besides Essential Elements 2000 for strings I also use String Tunes and Fiddle Runners to add more fun to the lessons. For piano students I use Holiday Treats book, which comes in 2 different levels: Beginner & Intermediate, so my students have a new songs for a specific holiday.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I always bring violin with me to be able to show what I teach.
*** Travel Equipment ***
The students needs to have their books and assigned material ready for tutoring. Instrumental students needs to have their music books & instrument available as well as a pencil. I always stress with my students to be organized and prepared for their lesson, this way they will be able to focus better during the lesson. I bring my violin with me. I also ask that the room where the lesson takes place to be free of any distractions, such other siblings or any other noise. The quiet environment helps in faster learning.
*** Specialties ***
I tutor most K-12 subjects and prepare students to take ACT, SAT, GRE tests.
Music genres: Classical, traditional, Suzuki, Popular, Celtic, fiddle, Blues

I have a lot of experience with the Suzuki method as a teacher and also a player having started with that myself. However unless the player or parent specifies that they want strict Suzuki, I go with my method which involves Suzuki but also other methods. I was not strict Suzuki and it definitely worked for me as well as students of mine!

Violin students can expect to improve week to week in their skills and technique.

Violin Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Violin instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Alicia is a wonderful instructor, very friendly, helpful, and really knows music. I'm an adult learning and a complete beginner, and
My 10 year old boy/girl twins have had lessons with Miss. Ilona for several months. Miss. Ilona, who is classically tr
Every teacher has a point of view, personal preferences, and methodological bias that may fit one child but may not fit another child as well. Miss. Ilona, however, constantly leaves her doors open to communicate and listen, and make an effort to understand how my twins feel about the lesson material. She constantly adapts the material and tries new approaches to make them better violinists.
What I like most about Miss. Ilona is that she is willing to provide her students with opportunities to participate in Fund Raising and charity events by donating their musical talents. This allows her students to give back to the community what they have learned. On April 17, 2015 my twins performed at Theosophical Society Fund Raising at Deerfield Beach. On May 30, 2015, they performed at Children's Oasis International Fund Raising to "enable today youth be tomorrow's leaders" in Africa.
After those events, my son wrote in his essay, "What matters to me most is to make people happy by doing what I enjoy doing…… While we played, the audience was very happy and cheered us after each song. It really made us feel so good…… After the performance, many people came to us and thanked us to play music for them. It really made us feel appreciated and so special. When I hear people saying they raised a lot more money thanks to us, I feel so blessed. I am proud that I can make difference by doing what I enjoy doing……special thanks to my violin teacher, Miss. Ilona and my twin sister."
As Hillary Clinton said, "...it takes a village to raise a child (the traditional African proverb)" during her own presidential compaign during 2007, it seems to Miss. Ilona, raising a musical child is a collaborative business, a business that the teacher, the student and the parents have to run together in order to be successful. Collaborative decision making with a child requires a willingness to listen, negotiate and compromise. As Jessica Turner (music educator) argues music instructors know about teaching music, but when it comes to your child and how s/he learns, we parents are the expert. As an educator myself, I appreciate that Miss. Ilona lets me work together with her to ensure the fit and quality of my twins musical instruction. I feel fortunate that we have found such a great instructor for my twins!"
And they're not alone!
