This post will contain the translation of Utena novel #2, "Midori no Omoi." Gio says she'll put it up as a sticky (I believe?) Enjoy!
少女革命ウテナ 「翠の想い」
SHOUJO KAKUMEI UTENA: Midori no Omoi (Green Wish)
by Ookouchi Ichiro
Novel summary:
Anthy is the one constantly at Utena's side, like a shadow. Wakaba says to Utena, "Since Anthy came, something hasn't been right. Stop hanging around with Anthy! What the heck is going on? What is that rose signet?" Utena begins to ponder again her friendship with Anthy...But no matter how she asks Touga, he answers coldly, "You've misunderstood everything." Because of this, Wakaba is mired in the duels and loses with Saionji's sword. Enraged, Utena duels with Saionji...

It was a love letter written on pale pink stationary.
The letter was written in cute, girlish handwriting - the letters a bit clumsy, but written character by character in the most polite way, and the faint scent of flowers remained on the stationary. That love letter was posted on the hallway wall of Ohtori Academy's Junior High common area.
"Whoa, what's that? 'I dance with you'?"
"What a dumbass! Ha ha ha!"
All the ones laughing at the letter were male students. They had no idea how precious above all else that letter was to the one who had written it - no, they didn't want to understand in their foolishness.
Behind these foolish boys in the crowd, Tenjou Utena and Shinohara Wakaba were passing by. Tenjou Utena - this was a girl who wore a boys' uniform, who was an all-around athlete, who was so wildly popular that she was called "The Prince who is even cooler than any boy" by the underclassmen girls. On the other hand, Shinohara Wakaba, walking beside her, was an extremely normal student, in the uniform she wore, in her appearance, in the grades she made.
If one were searching for just one thing to make her stand out, it would be her profession that Utena was her "significant other."
"What's going on with those people?"
That was Wakaba, known for being an eager follower of any new fad. Absentmindedly, Utena surveyed the crowd with a slightly worried expression.
"They've tacked someone's love letter to the wall."
At Wakaba's question, the crowd opened up in front of her and one of the nosy boys answered her.
"Love letter?"
"Yeah. Looks like this girl was writing it to Saionji, the student council vice president," said the boy, and then dived back into the crowd without another word.
Utena, who had changed schools and just arrived at Ohtori, turned slightly at the unfamiliar name. Duellists, Saionji Kyouichi...at this time, Utena had no idea about any of that.
"Hey listen to this...'I danced with you in my dreams. I'm being silly, aren't I...? What a dumbass!" Laughing voices rose from the crowd. All the girl students passing by averted their faces from this crowd, and hurried on.
What the-!
Utena pushed her way into the rough crowd and ripped the love letter from the wall. Her reply was short, but with more than enough force to silence the unruly onlookers.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Well, it's just something that we were looking at...." the ringleader of the boys grumbled.
Utena shut them up with a short retort: "This is in such poor taste!"
"But...stuff that's tacked up on the wall...it's usually for public reading..."
"Don't read it!"
Utena glared at the quieted boys. As if her eyes could bore holes in each of their secrets, they hung their heads like a group that had lost their first match against an opponent.
As Utena gazed down upon the quiet crowd of onlookers, she suddenly saw Wakaba standing at the back, in shock. In her eyes were large, quivering teardrops that could be seen even from that distance.
Wakaba met Utena's eyes. And then in that moment, the tears fell.
As if Utena's words had released her, Wakaba turned and fled.
No way...that letter was...Wakaba?
Without a second thought, Utena chased after Wakaba. She couldn't just let a friend who was crying run off.
In a way, it was in that moment that Tenjou Utena first became involved in the duelling game...
We love you, Ger. (Would say more, boss is up my arse today, though. )
Can't wait for Chapter 1! We can't thank you enough, Ger!
I you
Wai! Wai!
Lucky me just got a new printer, too.
Great work, can't wait to read more!
WOOOHOOOO!!! *jumps up and down*
Kekekeke, this moment reminds me of us being sat around Ger in an armchair on a plush rug beside a fireplace. *passes hot chocolate all around*
This is cool!!! Thank you, Ger! *sips hot chocolate*
But... this is Utena novel #2? And it starts with Wakaba's love letter being tacked to the bulletin board? What the hell happened in Utena novel #1? Did it go ahead and get all of the flashbacks out of the way? Was it 200 pages about Saionji slapping Anthy? (Surely not, since Utena's never heard of Saionji in novel 2.) Was it an in-depth psychological profile of Prince Licky-Lick? Or... this is too much to hope for, but was it an account of a previous dueling game?

XDDDD no, unfortunately not an account of a previous duelling game, though I know I would love to read something like that. The novels don't go in chronological order - they each deal with a different sub-story of the anime. This one, as far as I can tell, deals with the Utena-Wakaba-Saionji storyline and how Wakaba eventually gets pulled into the Black Rose duels (I hope for some Mikage scenes later on in the book!). This prologue happens before everything in the novel starts...in chapter 1 it says that some time has passed, and Utena has already duelled all the members of the Seitokai at least once, except Touga.
Novel #1 is about Utena-Anthy-Miki-Kozue, or so I gather from the summary. I don't have it (BakaElf does), but it seems like it deals with Utena's first duel with Miki.
GER THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU!! You are great and amazing!!
Win. Pure WIN. XD
Any chance of a compilation version once the translation's complete? I'd like to get THIS on my PDA, lol. XD
Have I told you lately, that I you?
I can't believe how wonderful this is.... YAY! Ger, your'e so awesome, THANKS!
It is..."Story Time with Ger and the Utena Kiddies"
Thank you Ger!!!

You guys are
Gio has said that once I get past the second chapter she'll think about putting up a website for this baby. I'm working on chapter 1 at the moment and I should have the first part of that up soon. Reading wise, I'm more than halfway done with the book. It's really quite good - it's not as much action based (no duels yet) as it is setting up the interaction between Utena and Touga/Wakaba and Saionji and how that eventually will lead to Saionji's expellation from school. I believe there is a duel at the end, though I'm not sure how the timeline goes. There is a picture of Utena duelling Saionji, but I have no idea if that is the actual duel from the Akio arc or if it is foreshadowing of some sort.
Damn rights I am. I think what I'll do is start working on it when you've finished the first chapter, and when you've finished the second the site will go live. That way I have a nice stretch of time to work on a pretty layout and stuff. I think the last manga layout I did involved Touga's penis.
As for the content of the novels, I kinda figured it wouldn't be 'new' material, exactly. I really like what it sounds like they're doing, especially in this case. More Saionji can only be a good thing, he's the most misunderstood character in the series, IMO. Also this is again A GIGANTIC TON OF SERIOUSLY AWESOME, GER.
This is the kind of thing that usually gets lost on the side of the road to fans that don't speak Japanese. Between the novels and the game ROM thread (which I haven't forgotten, Yasha and I are going to be upgrading our hosting soon to hold it permanently) us SKU fans are getting our hands on a whole lot of new material. I'm so happy. I love you guys.
...Aren't we like family?
Just as a note, each of these chapters are quite long, but they're divided into several sections. This is the first part of chapter one.
Part One
Morning. Ohtori Academy greeted the return of its energetic students.
The corridors were filled with students heading to their classrooms and groups of friends chattering amicably among themselves. Some were also wandering the halls in their gym clothes, having finished with morning lessons.
One girl broke into a run down the hall. Her short skirt, typical of Ohotori Academy's female uniforms, fluttered and danced as she ran between the crowds of laughing female students and clustered male students.
Her objective - the girl in the boy's uniform from class 2C - Tenjou Utena.
She sprang onto Utena's back, clinging with all her might. The force of it was so strong that any normal person would have fallen over. But Utena did not fall, just bore up Wakaba on her back with a slightly pained face.
"Morning, Wakaba. You're happy today."
"Yup!!!! Thanks, Utena!!" returned Wakaba cheerfully, still being carried on Utena's back. It was how they greeted each other every morning.
"Oooh ooh listen, Utena."
Still on Utena's back, Wakaba began chattering a mile a minute. "So like, last night, I broke my favorite makeup compact, oh my gosh it was totally the worst thing! Ooh look at that blonde guy over there, he looks so grown up and hot. Just kidding! So anyway, glass went everywhere all over the floor of my room, and I was cleaning ALL night - HEY are you listening?? UTENA!"
"Oh - yes," Utena responded, half-flabbergasted, half-amazed at Wakaba's random conversation. "I'm listening, but before you go any further, could you please get off my back?"
"Oh come on! You're my boyfriend! I love you soooo much, let me stay like this for a bit!"
"Uh, wait, what's this about your boyfriend?"
"U-te-na and ME, of course!" Wakaba grabbed Utena enthusiastically in a hug, her actions perhaps proving more than her words ever could.
It had been about a month since the posting of Wakaba's love letter on the hallway wall, since Utena had begun the duels and been engaged to Himemiya Anthy. Wakaba had gone back to her happy-go-lucky self - at least, that was how it appeared to Utena. Ever since the duel with Miki, no one else had appeared to challenge her to another duel. She hadn't even seen any of the Seitokai members since then, and peace had returned to daily life.
"So anyway, the reason I dropped my makeup compact was cause what happened on the show on TV last night was sooo terrible. The really stupid girl who's the heroine was getting a new boyfriend AGAIN. It's like she can dump them whenever she wants. Geez." Wakaba got off Utena's back, still recounting the events of last night's TV show to Utena in great detail.
"And, she didn't even show up at the place where they were supposed to meet. It was at this big glass window in front of a store - Utena? You didn't watch it? EVERYONE was watching it in my dorm."
"No, I didn't. I live in the East Dorm, remember? We don't have a TV."
The East Dorm was where Utena lived with Anthy. Rumor had it was haunted, and it was very old, to the point where there wasn't even a television.
"But don't you get bored at night? Not having a TV."
"Not really. Anthy's there, though. We talk, drink tea...have a good time. Right, Anthy?"
"Yes, Utena-sama."
Himemiya Anthy smiled sweetly from Utena's side. It was the first time today Wakaba had heard her speak.
"Talking, huh...." Wakaba said, staring at Anthy with an unbelieving look. They had been in the same class since last year, but she had never seen Anthy talk to anyone. Naturally, it seemed like she had no friends. But recently, she had been talking exclusively to Utena, and even responding back to her questions.
It must be boring to be together all the time with her...
Anthy didn't seem to be disturbed by Wakaba's rude expression, though most people would ordinarily look puzzled while being stared at like that.
"Is there anything wrong, Wakaba-san?"
"Uh, no, not really," answered Wakaba, looking away at Anthy's inquiry. But she still felt as if Anthy was staring at her. Flustered, she changed the topic.
"Anyway, Utena. Did you finish your homework for math class today? With all that happened with my makeup yesterday, I didn't have time."
"You and your excuses. You had time, you just didn't do it."
"Oh gosh, you sound just like an old lady. Can't you just listen to me like a boyfriend would?"
"I told you I'm not your boyfriend," said Utena unsympathetically. At that, Wakaba covered her face with both hands and began to cry exaggeratedly.
"Ohh you're sooo cold! I've even changed my hair and my makeup and my hobbies and my wardrobe for you...all for you....and..."
Utena grinned crookedly at Wakaba's dramatic acting. "Are you supposed to be that girl from last night's drama?"
Seeing Utena smile, Wakaba also smiled. No matter what, Utena's smile always made her happy.
Anthy watched the two of them, also still smiling. But from the time Wakaba had jumped onto Utena's back until now, she had not changed her expression one bit. It was the sort of smile that looked almost as if she had donned a smiling mask.
Oh you're just rolling right along! We love you, Ger. So much.
Ohh I'm all giddy trying to pick which of the scans to put in the layout...
Edit: Oh yeah, and I guess I be needin' BakaElf's permission to use the scans. I figure I have that though.

How many parts does a single chapter have?
It really depends on the chapter, really it's just a line break with an asterisk * to denote a new part (usually a change of POV or something). I believe this chapter has about 5.
Someone pass me a s'mores!
Ger, let me just say that you're an absolutely wonderful person for doing this. I really, really appreciate it, and I know everyone else does too. Thank you so much.
Oh gosh you guys, thank YOU for reading and supporting me on this, and especially thanks to Gio and Yasha for making everything possible.
(besides translating this out of the kindness of my heart *cough* I'm also doing this because anything to increase my reading comprehension in Japanese is a good thing XD)
The next part of ch 1 should be up by Sunday....had a busy week catching up on everything since I was gone.

A useful alternative to binding a quilt is adding a facing. Binding adds a frame of sorts around the quilt's edges. Facing comes in handy when you don't want such a frame, and it's fast and easy to do.
Follow these steps to add facing to any quilt. I used dark thread in some of the photographed samples for visibility. In reality, use matching thread.
Layer and quilt as you normally would. Trim all the layers of the quilt even and square up if needed.
Cut the facing strips 2½" wide; cut enough strips to go around your quilt's perimeter. If necessary, join the strips end to end. The strip length is determined as follows: for the top and bottom strips, measure across the quilt width. Cut the top and bottom facing strips to this measurement minus ¼". (Having the strips ¼" shorter than the quilt's width will help pull the facing to the back and be unseen.)
On both strips, fold one long edge under ¼" and press. Place one strip right side down at each end of the quilt, matching the ends of the strips to the sides of the quilt as shown. Pin both strips at each end.
With the quilt on the bottom (nearest the machine bed), sew both of the strips to the quilt with a ¼" seam allowance, beginning at one short end and turning the corner with one diagonal stitch as shown. Turn the second corner in the same way and end the line of stitching as it began.
Now lay facing strips right sides down on the quilt front sides. Trim the strips so the ends extend about ¾" past the folded edge of the top and bottom strips. Fold one long edge under ¼" on both strips and press. Sew the side facing strips to the quilt as shown with a ¼" seam allowance. Carefully trim the bulk from each corner.
To make the facing lie flat, sew a line of sharpstitching: first, fold the side facing strip up as shown below. Beginning about 2½" from the corner, sew through all the seam allowances and the facing very close to the seam, ending about the same distance from the next corner. Repeat for all the sides. Turn the facing to the back of the quilt and gently push out the corners. Press the facing flat. Sew the facing to the quilt back by hand with a blind stitch.

Men on the Moon!
Mormon Prophets claim
the moon is inhabited
As one of the foundational powerbrokers of the Mormon Cult, Romney, who serves as a bishop in the Mormon Cult, has declared that he loves his "church" and will never leave the Mormon Cult his family has been tied to for generations. In fact, tax returns show that Romney has given millions of dollars to the Mormon Cult in just the last year alone.
Here is what Romney's cult teaches about the moon: President Brigham Young not only taught the moon was inhabited, but the SUN as well. In a sermon delivered in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, President Young made these unbelievable statements: "Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the ignorant of their fellows. So it is in regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 13, p. 271)

From Chad Love at Field and Stream comes a fantastic story about a 1941 Spitfire crash, the Irish bog the wreckage sat in for 70 years, and the Browning machine gun that, when recovered, worked flawlessly. Check it out.
|Supermarine Spitfire. Photo from Wikipedia
On the Scottish moor where we fly the eagles there is also a 1941 aircrash site, this time a Defiant. I wrote about it here. In this case the pilot did not survive and the bulk of the plane was forced several meters underground when it smashed into the hillside. But there are large pieces of wreckage scattered about - weathering the snow, rain and storm of the moor for 70 years. If one could do a decades-long time-lapse video of the site, you would see the sun rise and set over twenty five thousand times, but only the occasional gamekeeper minding the land, the handful of grouse shooters in the fall, and a few falconers in the winter giving pause to consider the history of that small patch of hill.
Last year, I spent snowy November afternoons chasing rabbits with a red-tail around a former WWII training camp. It was surreal. The buildings still bore the marks of their war-era use. I wonder if some hawk-obsessed recruit chased blackbirds with a sparrowhawk or rabbits with a goshawk around those same mess halls and those same billets.
The force of history is everywhere.

Lindsay Lohan may face more jail time over June car crash
LINDSAY LOHAN faces a return to jail if Santa Monica, California investigators can prove she lied to officials about her role in a June (12) traffic accident.
The troubled actress told police she was not behind the wheel of her Porsche, which was totalled after a collision with a trailer on the Pacific Coast Highway - but the driver of the other vehicle insists she was.
And now she could face charges from prosecutors, which will almost definitely put her back behind bars for violation of her 2011 parole for shoplifting.
Police insiders tell the Los Angeles Times that investigators have found evidence suggesting Lohan lied when she told authorities that she was not behind the wheel of her vehicle at the time of the accident.
Officials at the Santa Monica City Attorney's office are expected to take action over the case before the end of the week (ends09Nov12).
Lohan did not suffer any major injuries in the crash and returned to the set of her TV movie Liz & Dick the same day.

Heidar Helguson nodded home an 88th-minute winner as Cardiff remained top of the npower Championship with a 2-1 victory at Ipswich.
The Tractor Boys took the lead on the cusp of half-time when debutant DJ Campbell appeared to handle the ball over the line but the Bluebirds turned the tide when Helguson prodded home in the 63rd minute following a Scott Loach fumble.
The Icelandic striker was then on target again to win in it in the closing moments from Andrew Taylor's cross.

Ass you knowing, spot-fixing case is running in London and now I knowing that my team-maids tried to stab me in the rear when I was there captain!
I'm shocking and can't trust it like nobody's business. Mark my wards, posterior will not forgive them for this acting of betrial.
God will dip-fry them in boiling oil like nobody's business and they all will be…what you call it… hell and hurty.
Now I understanding the because of my loosing so much matches. I always thinking of victoring and they always trying to cattle my plans like nobody's business!
And see my largeness. I steel supported one of those oxymoron -- Shoaib Akhtar. He was a ox in the body and a moron in the head.
It was I who spoke him that Tendulkar was scareful of him. One day before the match, all players were discusing who was the most maddest bowler when Sachin suddenly spoke out of contest and confaced "I'm afraid, it's Shoaib."
I acted smartingly and tape-recorded it. Kamran Akmal objected like nobody's business but I didn't hear. I took out the fat tape of his tracksuit's waist and written those words on it.
Tendulkar cannot denial it now. I was the wheatness. And if he steel denies, I'm sorry to speak that he is a lier.

Congratulations to Trunk for coining the word "Chaitred" to refer to the hating of President Bush by liberal partisans like Jonathan Chait. Our Jewish readers will know how to pronounce this word — think of the holiday Chanukah.
In my posts on Chaitred, I argued that it is not irrational for liberal partisans to hate President Bush. I also predicted that our future presidents will likely be hated by partisans of the opposite side, and that I might well come to hate a President Dean, for example.
I wish to add, however, that while hating a president may not be irrational, much less a sign of mental illness, this does not preclude such a diagnosis when the hatred leads to certain kinds of extreme statements. For example, it wasn't irrational for conservatives to have hated President Clinton. But it would have been irrational for them to have believed that Clinton is a cannibal, and a sure sign of mental illness to have publicly said that he was.
Ted Kennedy hasn't accused President Bush of cannibalism. But he has said "There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud." Yesterday, Charles Krauthammer made a good case that no rational person could believe all of Kennedy's statements (just as others have made the case that Chait could not rationally have believed all of his statements about Bush in the article that started all of this). However, Krauthammer did not show that Kennedy himself believes the statements. So there are at least two possibilities here. The first is that, blinded by hatred, Kennedy has become unhinged from reality. The second is that he is in touch with reality, but chooses to distort it in his public pronouncements for political gain or mere gratification. In short, Kennedy may not be irrational; he may just be a liar.

How To Select The Best DJ For Your Event All Events How To / Instructional
With so many choices and so many entertainers boasting that they are the best, picking the right Baltimore DJ can be a daunting task. Hopefully after reading this article, you will have a better understanding on what to look for and what questions are the most relevant when hiring your DJ. Let's first address the most important factors to consider. Credibility is clearly at the top of the list. Can you trust this person with the responsibilities of such an important day? Over the years, I have spoken to a countless number of brides who wanted to make sure that I am a seasoned veteran who can provide the experience level needed to handle any situation. Another important factor is connection. Price, top of the line equipment and a large advertising budget doesn't matter if you don't get a positive feeling that "this is our DJ". It's imperative that you personally interview each prospected DJ and come prepared with pertinent questions that will help you narrow down your search. Do yourself a favor and meet with them face-to-face. Discussing your event over the phone should be the first step, however you should take it to the next level for those who pass the introduction phase. During this meeting, take note if they are making the conversation around you and your vision, and not how great they are. Reputation should round out this list. Do they have legitimate letters, e-mails and website postings to back up their claim? Be a little wary of some of those wedding oriented websites containing feedback from previous brides. Some (certainly a small amount) allow anyone to log-in and write a review. That is even if they have never been to an event where this DJ was involved. Many DJ's live by a professional code of ethic and would never deceive you. Just make sure that you take ALL of these factors into consideration. Should price be important? Of course, however it should not be the most important. You'll want a DJ that offers a fair rate for their service, and this may not necessarily be the lowest price. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "you get what you pay for". Like anything else, there are many types of DJ's, and no one is exactly the same. If you were able to purchase your dream car at a reasonable price, would you drive it off the lot that day? Or, would you look for the least expensive car and hope that it rides smooth and doesn't break down a mile down the road? Be careful when you consider price as the top reason for hiring that service. So in reality, what should a good wedding DJ cost? Prices will range from $700 – $1,300 depending on day of the week (Saturday is the most popular day), time of the day, month of the year (November, January and February are the slowest months and best for competitive rates) and any additional elements such as lights, fog and/or extra equipment. I would be a little concerned about a DJ that claims they have several years of experience, an extensive list of music and highly regarded as a top DJ … and are asking $400 for a 4 or 5 hour reception. What questions should you ask? 1.Will you be the DJ at our wedding? Some DJ's sub-contract others. Make sure that the person you are interviewing is the person that will be your DJ. 2.How long have you been a DJ? 3.How many weddings do you average per year? 4.Do you have references? 5.Will you book another event on the same day as my wedding? 6.Will you be the emcee for our reception? 7.How will you dress? 8.What time will you arrive at the reception site to set-up your equipment? 9.Do you bring backup equipment? 10.Will you take requests from our guests? 11.How involved should I be in the planning of the dance music? 12.Will we meet or speak again before my wedding? 13.Will you provide a written agreement securing our event in your schedule? 14.What happens in the case of an emergency? Do Not Ask…. Can we see you at another reception? (Your DJ should answer no to this question. How would you like it if they invited strangers to your reception. Professional DJ's should never use your event as a marketing tool to gain other clients.) I hope this article will help you in the selection process. Don't stress and keep it simple. Just ask the right questions and listen to how they respond. You'll know when you find the right DJ.

Taiwan couples seek surrogacy abroad to escape ban
Three years ago Mr and Ms Lee fulfilled their dream of parenthood with the help of a surrogate mother.
But like many Taiwanese couples in their position, they were forced to seek surrogacy abroad because the procedure is illegal at home.
"Healthy couples cannot imagine the difficulty and pain we have been through. We tried everything we could," said Lee, a 40-year-old businessman in Taipei who did not wish to give his full name.
He and his 35-year-old wife also considered adoption. "But since there was still a way we could have our own child, surrogacy was the best option," he said.
"We envied other couples who have children and we finally felt that our lives were complete when our son was born," he said.
A bill to legalise altruistic surrogacy—in which a woman agrees to carry a child for another couple through In vitro fertilisation without financially profiting from the procedure—remains in limbo in Taiwan, forcing couples like the Lees into the global commercial surrogacy market.
The island is divided over the controversial and sensitive issue, which presents a legal and ethical minefield for experts who have failed to agree on issues such as the rights of the surrogate mother, biological parents and the foetus.
Those who broker or make financial gains from embryo reproduction face a possible two-year jail term, although there is no penalty for those who pay for it, according to prosecutors.
The legality of surrogacy varies widely around the world, particularly in Asia where commercial for-profit surrogacy services are prohibited in many countries.
India is an exception, where the government is in the process of passing laws to regulate a fertility industry that offers foreign couples cheaper alternatives to options such as the US and Britain.
Altruistic surrogacy options are legally available in Australia subject to strict screening processes. China prohibits surrogacy, while Japan, South Korea and Thailand have no laws in place determining the rights of participants.
Taiwan's health authorities first contemplated legalising surrogacy about a decade ago and drafted a bill in 2005 but there has been no real progress since then.
"In light of the demand for reproductive technology as well as some ethical concerns from society, the bureau has been actively promoting discussions at home and following international experiences in order to come up with a bill that is thorough while meeting the demands of our time," said Taiwan's Bureau of Health Promotion in a statement.
Opposition comes from women's rights groups, who say surrogacy satisfies the needs of wealthy couples but overlooks the health risks and emotional impact on surrogate mothers during and after the pregnancy.
A surrogacy procedure can cost around $55,000 in Thailand to $100,000 in the United States, including medical and legal expenses as well as payments to surrogate mothers, according to fertility experts.
"A woman's body is not a commodity or a tool. We oppose rich people exploiting poor women and buying them as surrogate mothers," said Huang Sue-ying, chairperson of the advocacy group Taiwan Women's Link.
She urges Taiwanese couples to reconsider the traditional concept of producing an heir and "open up their minds" to other possibilities such as adopting orphans.
"Traditionally a couple would need to have a son to continue the family line but what if a surrogate mother doesn't bear a son? I don't think technology can resolve a cultural issue," she said.
The Lees say they hired their surrogate mother in Thailand on mutually agreed terms.
"We didn't force her to become a surrogate mother, she wanted to make money out of her own free will. I don't think it demeans her in any way," Mr Lee said.
Demand for infertility treatment has been on the rise in Taiwan, which has one of the world's lowest birth rates, partly as more couples choose to get married and have babies at an older age, doctors say.
In 2012, the average age of women who gave birth for the first time was 30.1 years old, according to the interior ministry.
Estimates of the number of Taiwanese couples seeking surrogacy range from anywhere between several hundred to tens of thousands.
Dr. Liu Ji-ong, a fertility expert in Taipei, said surrogacy is the only option for many women with underlying medical conditions.
"I think it is a question of social justice. We cannot neglect the needs of those women who want to be mothers as they are unlikely to speak up for themselves or take to the streets," he said.
Lee said he only hopes that if the surrogacy bill is passed, it recognises previous cases. Currently he can only register his son as his child born out of wedlock, while his wife is recognised as the "adoptive mother".
However, he said he doubts that Taiwan will see real progress on the issue in the short term.
"It is not a major concern for Taiwanese politicians because there are just not enough votes for them," he said.
Asked about the chances of Taiwan passing a surrogacy bill any time soon, he said: "I am not optimistic."

Amid veto flurry, HemisFair bill signed
AUSTIN — Flexing his political muscles, Gov. Rick Perry vetoed funding Friday for a Travis County prosecutor's office currently investigating cronyism at the state's cancer agency, an ethics bill that would have forced a political ally to resign his position on the Texas Railroad Commission and a bill that would have prevented university regents from abusing their powers.
Amid the vetoes, Perry signed a bill to fast-track redevelopment of San Antonio's HemisFair Park — Mayor Julián Castro's top legislative priority. The proposal will enable the city to reconfigure park land at HemisFair without taking the issue to voters at each phase.
Go to the story on Express-News.com to find out what else Gov. Perry signed into law and what he vetoed.

Evolving downtown Houma into a pedestrian friendly, prosperous economic center while ensuring the sustainability of the entire parish are two of the main points of the nearly completed Terrebonne Parish Master Plan.
Evolving downtown Houma into a pedestrian friendly, prosperous economic center while ensuring the sustainability of the entire parish are two of the main points of the nearly completed Terrebonne Parish Master Plan.
Dubbed "Vision 2030," the nearly 300-page document is in its final draft. It is the subject of a series of public meetings that began early last year and continue through this month.
The final public meeting on the draft plan is set for 6 p.m. Oct. 29 on the second floor of the Government Tower, 8026 Main St., Houma. The plan will be reviewed during that day's special Planning and Zoning meeting.
The final step for Vision 2030 is securing Parish Council approval. No date has been set for that vote.
Once completed, planners say the document will serve as a road map for future development.
Long overdue
This is the first revision of the master plan since hurricanes Katrina and Rita, said Pat Gordon, Planning and Zoning director.
Parish President Michel Claudet said he expects the master plan to direct Terrebonne officials as they take on a much-needed makeover.
The plan details needed improvements like refurbishing aging buildings and infrastructure. Claudet said the goal is to transform Terrebonne into a more progressive community.
The first master plan was completed in 1975, and it outlined the need for land-use laws inside the Houma city limits, changes that have since been implemented, Gordon said.
The master plan should ideally be updated every five years, but that hasn't always happened.
The last major revision came in 2003, two years before Katrina and five years before Gustav.
This latest update began in 2009, with an in-depth study of parish demographics and building inventory to give planners a base to build on, Gordon said.
Planners gathered public input through a series of town-hall meetings that started in May 2011. They also used in-person and online surveys to get a sense of what people envisioned for Terrebonne over the coming two decades, Gordon said.
"What was really interesting was that individuals wanted more quality of life improvements," Gordon said of the input residents provided. In 2003, "they wanted a levee system."
Morganza-to-the-Gulf is a system of levees and floodgates that aims to protect Terrebonne and parts of Lafourche from storm flooding. It began as a U.S. Army Corps project 20 years ago, but repeated delays and frustration with bureaucratic red tape eventually led locals to tax themselves and build a scaled-down version of the project.
"Now that the public knows the footprint for Morganza-to-the-Gulf is being put in place, they are looking at other items to make their life better," Gordon said.
Gordon said cleaner bayous and pedestrian trails were common requests.
Vision 2030 includes a focus on downtown Houma, something that hadn't been incorporated in earlier master plans, officials said.
There is a chapter dedicated specifically to the development of the historic district. It focuses on issues suspected of hindering visitors and new businesses.
Bayou Terrebonne, the newly built Bayou Walk, a slew of festivals, parades, cultural events and the historic architecture are listed among downtown's draws.
But the document also lists challenges like a heavily traveled Main Street and limited parking.
Among other suggestions outlined in the plan, the remedy is to:
- Attract retail stores and new businesses, including a grocery store.
- Provide community gathering spaces, including community gardens.
- Increase the number of people living downtown, primarily through the implementation of mixed-use housing for a range of incomes.
- Create safe, walkable streets, with bike lanes to encourage pedestrian traffic.
- Attract residents and visitors to downtown attractions by extending museum hours and other methods.
- Clean Bayou Terrebonne.
- Extend the Bayou Walk.
- Remove blighted buildings, abandoned vehicles and debris.
"You will see changes in downtown within a year," Gordon predicted.
The catastrophic hurricanes that took place over the last decade make sustainability high on the list of priorities for both planners and residents, Gordon said.
"Elevation some of the roads used for evacuation, making sure we follow building codes, seeking more" hurricane-recovery money "is where the thrust of this comprehensive plan is going," he said.
The sustainability portion of the plan suggests doing more of the same sort of work that has been under way since Katrina and Gustav, work that has already paid off as evidenced by the damage inflicted by Hurricane Isaac.
About 900 frequently flooded Terrebonne homes have been elevated since 2005. Most of that work has been done using storm-recovery money. More than $50 million in grant money has been spent in Terrebonne since 2002's Lili and Isidore.
Gordon said officials aggressively seek out grant money for that purpose, and they will continue to do so — a goal spelled out in Vision 2030.
"We are not moving off the coast," he said. "We are going to stay on the coast and work ... to stay here. "
Vision 2030's other chapters focus on transportation, housing, community design, public facilities, regional coordination and capital improvement priorities.
Each chapter details the current state of the subject in Terrebonne and sets strategies tied to the plan's overall goals of:
- Creating a sense of place and connectedness.
- Providing a safe and efficient transportation system.
- Having efficient, attractive and varied land uses.
- Maintaining a sustainable community free of hazards, nuisances and environmental damage.
- Insuring new and revamped projects are of high quality.
- Maintaining effective public services and facilities.
"Everywhere you go, you will see changes," Claudet said. "What we want is to create a better community that looks better and works better for everybody's needs."
Terrebonne Parish Senior Planner Chris Pulaski emphasized the plan doesn't hold the weight of law, but rather is a guiding document for developers, designers and lawmakers.

Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine is a racing game designed by the greatest NASCAR star of our generation. A no-holds-barred, combat-racing extravaganza, it is rooted in the experience of Jimmie Johnson's childhood, growing up putting engines on barstools and other household items, then racing them against friends. In time, this became a life philosophy for Jimmie - "I'll race anything with an engine." Now fans of all ages will be put behind the wheel of these...ah, shall we say, "custom vehicles," in the most original racing game in years.
Lead-footed bathers, dumpster divers, lawn-mowers, bargain shoppers, sadistic caddies and many more will have the chance to scrap their way toward glory, as players engage in elimination-style circuits across uniquely stylized tracks strewn with themed hazards, traps and awesome jumps in a humor-packed race to the finish line.
If rubbing is racing, then what do you call getting hit in the face with a bag of trash as you're passed by a dumpster doing 120 miles an hour? We call it Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine.

We're Not Whining, We're Just Not Settling For Mediocrity This Time
I'm sick to death of hearing that we liberals should stop whining and get on board. I recently read a left leaning blog that suggested we should choose to be inspired rather than looking to candidates to inspire us. Really? I think that's what we have done every election cycle for as long as we can remember. We've chosen to be inspired by what we've been handed, mediocre candidates, but that's simply not enough anymore. Even if it was, it hasn't had the promised result, namely Democratic wins, now has it?
One thing that liberal activists haven't done enough, but are beginning to do more, is infiltrate the Party we want to change. Instead of trying to change the Democratic Party from the outside, it is becoming increasingly effective to change it from within, by attending local Party meetings and voting for challengers to entrenched power. Recently in California, incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Jane Harman, was denied an automatic endorsement by the State Party because progressive activists attended the meetings and voted instead for the challenger, Marcy Winograd. Instead of thinking of ourselves as outsiders, we have to become insiders.
In Portland, Oregon, the Multnomah County Democrats chose not to endorse their Democratic Governor and instead chose to endorse both of his primary challengers. Governor Kulongoski didn't bother to show up at the meeting and therefore didn't get the endorsement. Incumbent Democrats are often far too sure that they've got the support of the Party apparatus all locked up, but when liberals who are decidedly uninspired by their leadership actually show up to the meetings and vote, they are exercising their power as members of the Party and making a difference in who gets Party support. There's a lesson in here for all of us. Instead of choosing to be inspired by mediocrity, we can vote for the candidates that really inspire us. We are told that these candidates have no chance of winning, but that is only true if we don't vote for them, don't give them money and don't go to Party meetings where we can hopefully, get some Party support behind them.
In that spirit, I will be voting my best hopes in the Democratic Primary. There are many great candidates for local, state and national office in my district, some of them incumbents that I'll be happy to continue supporting, and some of them challengers to decidedly uninspiring leaders currently in office. Incumbency isn't bad, but mediocrity is, and if they want my vote, they'll have to inspire me. Sorry if that's expecting too much, but democracy should result in the best rising to the top and I'm done enabling candidates that have low expectations of themselves. I'm also done with their scare tactics, "the challenger can't win in the General Election" and "you're wasting your vote" crap. I'm only wasting my vote if I vote for a candidate I don't really want representing me, which is why I'll be voting for what I want from now on, not what I can get. I'm choosing inspiration over ambition. In the long run, it's the far better choice and might even result in a better slate of "viable" candidates for the next go around. After all, it's votes that make them viable and it's the only leverage we've got. It would be a shame not to use it.

Making Plans and Putting Them into Action
Building a Support Network | Developing Goals
Do you have a support system?
Do you have short-term goals to help you meet your long-term plans?
Are you looking for alternative plans?
Now that you have made a realistic career decision, it is time to act on it and begin defining the education, work or life experiences you need to create your goal. There are different philosophies about the purpose of education. If you believe you are attending school strictly for a career goal, then you may want a college curriculum specifically tailored to your needs. That could include a few solid courses to provide you with a skill and technique of foundation to further learn. You might consider a certificate or short-term training program at your community college, or an associate's degree. A college education helps you compete in the job market and advance in later years, as your career changes. Many leadership, research, administrative and managerial types of occupations require a four year degree or greater. Broader educational programs in universities combine world liberal arts course with a deeper academic area preparation. Determining the link to a college major such as philosophy, biology or psychology with a specific job may be more difficult, but also offer more diverse career options. As you explore different colleges and curricula, try to determine whether you want tailored and specialized training or a more diverse approach to learning.

"John Raymond, an aged man,…was brutally fired upon"?
As I discussed yesterday, in the first half-century after John Raymond's death outside the Munroe Tavern on 19 Apr 1775, people in Lexington agreed that British soldiers had killed him, but didn't make a big deal of his death compared to others the same day.
That changed around the time of the Centennial. The Rev. Artemas B. Muzzey (1802-1892) of Cambridge, grandson of a man in Capt. John Parker's militia company in 1775, published a reminiscence of Revolutionary veterans in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register in 1877 which stated:
William Munroe…kept the public house known as "Munroe Tavern." Here the British stopped on their retreat, and murdered John Raymond, an inoffensive man, as he was leaving the house.Thus Raymond's death during a battle became a murder.
Three years later, in a History of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Lexington historian Charles Hudson wrote:
The officers with Percy resorted to Munroe's tavern just below. The occupants of the house left the place in affright, leaving only John Raymond, an aged man, who was at the time one of the family. The intruders ordered him to supply them with all the good things the house afforded, which he readily did. But after they had imbibed too freely, they became noisy and so alarmed Raymond that he sought to escape from the house; but was brutally fired upon and killed in his attempt to flee from danger.Hudson also used Raymond's death to complain about the British soldiers' "system of personal insult, treachery, and murder" in his history of Lexington, published in 1913.
In The Battle of April 19, 1775 (1912), Frank W. Coburn went into further detail in describing the activity of Col. Percy (shown above) and his troops:
This energetic destroyer of American homes had selected Munroe Tavern as his temporary headquarters, and ordered his wounded conveyed there also. While their wounds were being dressed his men demanded such refreshments as the place could provide, and unlike [Lt. Col. Francis] Smith's subordinates in Concord, were not considerate enough to pay for them. So landlord William Munroe's loss was £203, 11s. 9d., of which £90 was in the "retail shop," presumably of a liquid nature.For this paragraph Coburn cited "A carefully written newspaper clipping evidently from a Boston periodical, dated April 19, 1858, preserved in a scrap book once belonging to the Thomas Waterman collection of American History." I couldn't locate such an article in the Archive of Americana newspaper database, but I wouldn't be surprised if one turns up. I would be surprised if an 1858 article offers more reliable information than was available to William Munroe in 1825.
As he was orderly sergeant in Captain Parker's Company, he was naturally absent on duty, and left a lame man, John Raymond, in charge, who waited upon the unbidden guests because he was compelled to. His last service was to mix a glass of punch for one of the red-coats, after which he essayed to escape through the garden. He was not alert enough, for two soldiers fired, and one of their bullets readily overtook him as he hobbled away. Thus one more was added to the list of American dead, one of the easiest victims, of course, for he was simply an unarmed cripple. This probably happened at the rear of the Tavern.
In fact, as authors added to the drama of John Raymond's death, they inserted contradictions into the story. Hudson referred to Raymond as "aged," but also reported his birth date, which showed that he was forty-three years old.
Coburn called Raymond a "cripple," but other authors listed him among the members of Capt. Parker's militia company, which suggests that Raymond's lameness was temporary or didn't interfere with his military activity, like Nathanael Greene's. (Alternatively, those authors might have assumed that Raymond's name on the list of dead meant he died as a militiaman.)
Harold Murdock noted those contradictions in his Nineteenth of April, 1775, published in 1925. He theorized that the British troops might have viewed Raymond as their prisoner, and shot him as he was trying to escape. He also argued that Percy himself spent little time at the tavern. In any event, Murdock felt sure that the Lexington minister Jonas Clarke would have made more of Raymond's death if his neighbors in 1775 had seen it as an atrocity.
To the credit of the historians who wrote the words now engraved on the memorial to John Raymond at the Munroe Tavern, that text sticks to the facts stated by Munroe and his family. There are a lot of details about Raymond's killing that we'll probably never know, so it's wise to avoid the incendiary language of some authors writing well after the event.
TOMORROW: John Raymond's children.

Give Up Baby
Hello and thank you for letting us help you.
If you are on this page of our website it's most likely because you were searching for the words "give up my baby for adoption" or "place my baby for adoption" or something about adoption. I know that right now you may feel confident in your decision to place your baby for adoption or you may be feeling alone, scared, embarrassed or are hurting emotionally. You might also feel
you do not have a lot of options or that you don't like the choices that are available to you.
We Can Help
I want you to know that there is help available. I (Dr. Vince Berger) and my staff (at Adoption Services) want to help you regardless of whether you place your child with us for adoption or not. If you need help finding financial, medical, emotional and other kinds of assistance to keep your baby, we are here to help. Just call us and we will assist you in finding the help you need. On
the other hand, if you want or need to place your child for adoption we can assist you too. Either way I want you to know that our highest priority will be to treat you as we would a member of our own family, listen to your questions, provide the answers you need and help you. We are also here to help you for as long as it takes… We never stop caring!
What You Need To Know
Right now there is something you need to know that affects your life and that of your child. There are three types of people who are going to offer to help you. Those who do it because they care about the safety, well-being and happiness of both you and your baby, and then there are those who do it simply so they can make a profit off you and your child, and finally
there are adopting families who just want your baby regardless of how it impacts you. The people who don't care about you and your child will sometimes offer you things that the law does not allow or will offer you things that sound too good to be true. They may even suggest that you travel to another state (this is all to often for their benefit and not yours) in order to receive these
things, often failing to remind you what it means to be alone in a strange place and not near your friends or family when you may need their support the most. What I want you to know is that we will provide you with all the financial, medical and other forms of assistance that the law in East Millcreek, Utah allows. We will also do something that most others in the adoption field don't. We
will assist you in finding every federal, state and local government program to help you. We do this because we truly care about you and your baby.
Things to Avoid
We highly recommend you avoid certain situations because we hear so many sad stories about them. These include using an adoption facilitator or doing what is called a private adoption or doing things in a way in which your child is at risk of being placed in foster care without your permission (it happens frequently). We highly recommend only using a licensed non-profit adoption agency
(such as ours, Adoption Services) because this type of adoption agency typically puts the safety and happiness of your child ahead of financial considerations.
Don't Let This Happen To You
We hear horror stories several times each and every month from a birth mother who made the decision to give her baby to an adopting family using a facilitator or dealing with the adopting family directly. Then, although the birth mother was assured things would work out and although she may have even been promised benefits, the family backs out, does not provide the promised benefits, or through
lack of experience, negligence, a change of mind, not doing a proper background check, improper paperwork, or some other reason, the placement did not proceed as planned or the "promised benefits" did not materialize and the birth mother was stuck and left in a horrible situation. Unfortunately, by the time the birth mother contacted us it was too late and there was no way left to
help, breaking the mother´s heart, ours too, stranding the birth mother (sometimes in a state where she doesn't know a single person) or leaving the child in a foster home with no way to get the child back out.
Our Services
I have been helping women just like you for over forty years. My staff and I do it because we care. We have an unblemished record for all those years and have been doing things to help birth mothers and pregnant women, like you, that less caring individuals and adoption agencies don't. We will help you find financial, medical and other
forms of assistance whether you place a child
with us or not. We want you and your baby to be safe. If you end up deciding to place your child with us, whether it is in East Millcreek, Utah or in another state, we will be available for guidance, emotional support and advice from the moment you contact us and through your pregnancy, delivery, placement of your child, and for as long after
that as our help is needed.
Your Medical Bills and Legal Bills Are Paid
Your medical bills and your child's and baby's bills may be covered if you have private insurance or medical assistance. However, if you do not have either of these, or if you have had to pay for some things on your own, we will make sure that if you proceed with an adoption all medical related bills are covered and
that you are reimbursed for any pregnancy, birth and post-natal medical fees you have paid.
We will make sure that not only all of your medical bills are paid but that any and all adoption related legal expenses are also paid for.
Your Lost Wages Are Paid
Every state's law handles this issue differently. Since the ending of your parental rights will take place in East Millcreek, Utah, or may take place in a different state, we will assist you in getting paid for lost wages during and after your pregnancy consistent with the laws of the states involved.
Your Living Expenses Are Paid
In most states you can receive some living expenses. We will assist you in getting reimbursed for as much of your living expenses, including housing, food and maternity care as allowed by law.
Your Travel Expenses Are Paid
Every state has limits on adoption related travel expenses that you can receive. However, consistent with state laws, we will make sure that you are paid for all travel expenses related to the adoption.
Your Counseling Expenses Are Paid
Being a Doctor of Psychology with over 40 years of experience, typically I provide any adoption related counseling you may need and for as long as you need it. In those cases where you need adoption counseling by other professionals, we will make sure the counseling bills get paid consistent with state laws of Utah or other state where your rights are ended.
We Help Protect Your Child
We receive literally several hundred adopting families calling us every year but, after very carefully screening to make sure we are working with only the best families, we end up working with a limited number. We take every possible precaution and very carefully and fully investigate each and every family seeking to adopt. We interview them many times. We check their personal stability and the
stability and quality of their marriage. We check their attitudes about adoption, about birth parents, and higher education. We find out when and how they will tell the child about the biological parents. We check out attitudes about child rearing and discipline. We verify their income and check their tax records. We check state police records, child abuse authorities, and with the FBI. We even have
the adopting family go through comprehensive medical check-ups. We get multiple personal references. We tour their home and neighborhood to be sure they will be able to provide the love, financial support, physical security and comfort your baby deserves. We make sure of all of this before we ever agree to work with the family towards an adoptive placement. It is this very careful
screening and attention to detail that helps give our adoption agency (Adoption Services) an unblemished record.
We Verify Your Child is Safe and Healthy
We continue to provide supervision for months after placement. We talk to the adopting family every few days, go to their home and also check with their pediatrician and any child care provider they may use. Over the past several years we have worked with over 9,000 birth parents and their newborns and young children and we have never, ever, had a child abused, abandoned, or neglected.
24 Hour Hotline
We are available to assist you on evenings, weekends, and holidays…24 hours a day. You can send an email which will be answered that day or by the next business day or you can call our toll-free phone 24 hours a day, so you are free to contact us at anytime
My staff and I looked forward to hearing from you and in helping you and your child.
Dr Vince Berger

I want to give up or place my baby for adoption or am I searching for financial assistance for pregnant women or medical
assistance for pregnant women.

1. Survey4moms
Visit the Best Money Making Training Program around icon-arrow-circle-right Affilorama
Send earnings is owned and run by another very popular site called Inbox Dollars which are both owned by CotterWeb Enterprises. Both programs are ran in very similar ways in that you earn rewards by completing multiple tasks online. These are the tasks that you will be asked to do in order to earn with Send Earnings. See below.
1. Taking Surveys
2. Playing Games
3. Shopping Online
4. Redeeming Coupons
5. Trying Products
6. Completing Offers
7. Reading Emails
8. Referrals
Getting Started With SendEarnings
Sendearnings is extremely simple to do. All you do is sign up with your email, then confirm your sign up by clicking on the link they send you afterwards as a reply. Just a little advice. Whenever you sign up with any program that may send a lot of emails, you should never use your main email address because it could get filled up with a bunch of spam looking emails eventually. This could get overwhelming. Especially if you're joining multiple programs and using the same email address. I suggest signing up with one simple gmail address and whitelisting each program and labeling each one so you can separate all of the emails from each other. If you don't know how to do this, just type in Google "whitelist for gmail" and you will find many different places that offer step-by-step instructions on how to easily do this.
SendEarnings Welcome Page
How to Earn Money With SendEarnings
Unlike many other sites that typically pay through points, sendearnings rewards its members with cash, which is what most people really like about this program. You typically earn .50 cents per survey completed and there's a great $5 sign up bonus (Don't we always love those.) There is also an additional list of tasks worth .50 cents each, so earnings can add up pretty quickly.
There are several multiple options on earning money with Sendearnings. Let's go over all of them below.
1. Surveys
The great thing about programs like this that offer several different earning options is, if you don't qualify for a survey, you will always have plenty of other ways to earn until you do. The good thing about sendearnings is the pre survey questionnaire is pretty short too.
2. Offers
When you try the offers, some are free and some are trial offers. Some surveys may also fall under this category as well. Completing offers is definitely one of the best ways to earn money with this program.
Type of Offers
The type of offers can range from filling out specific types of surveys for cash. Joining certain programs, signing up for different types of sample products and more… Each offer is categorized and will let you know if they are completely free, if they involve a trial service, if they're a groupon or just a simple survey. If you don't feel comfortable spending money on offers (because you're worried you won't get a return in your investment) you can always just stick to only free offers.
3. Search
Sendearnings has their own search engine connected to their website.
For your first 5 qualified searches you will earn $0.01. Then after that it's $0.01 after every 2 qualified searches. Reported maximum earning daily are up to $0.15. Of course it's not a lot of money, but the thing is, every little bit adds up over time and it's virtually effortless.
4. Games
Unless you already play games on a regular basis and are spending money on them, this type of earnings is not recommended. It's a whole lot more complicated than it sounds and involves cash back rewards, so it's not just simply playing games for easy earnings.
5. Reading Emails
You'll be sent several emails in your inbox per week. Each email is worth between .03 and .10 cents.
6. Coupons
For every coupon you redeem, you'll get paid $0.10. This is another great way to earn cash. This can be especially good to plan around your regular grocery shopping days.
7. Videos
I do not particularly think this is the best method of earning and I wouldn't recommended your time being dedicated to videos unless of course you already do this on a regular basis. They only pay $.01 per video so not a lot of return for your time.
8. Referrals
You earn 10% of any earnings they make through your referrals. There are definitely better referral programs than this, so not really impressed with their referral system.
Payment Details
- Payment threshold; $30 is the minimum payout amount. Seems like a lot, but with all the other earning potentials it's not too bad.
- Ways they pay: They pay by check.
Kelly's Final Verdict
The truth is, every program has there pros and cons and Sendearnings is no different. However, when making your final decisions there are 3 very important things to remember.
- Is it free to join? – YES
- Does it have a good reputation? – YES
- Do they really pay their members? – YES
Although you may not make the amount of money you really want to make, it's free money. Plus, this is only one site. You mix up a few different similar good sites together and you've got yourself a nice little earning method.
Do I recommend Sendearnings? – YES

(Bladder Infection)
Acute cystitis is inflammation of the bladder. It is usually caused by an infection. There are 2 types are of acute cystitis:
- Uncomplicated—occurs in premenopausal, nonpregnant women, and in those with no other underlying conditions
- Complicated—occurs with underlying conditions
The Urinary Tract
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Acute cystitis is most often caused by bacteria. Bacteria enter the urethra and travel into the bladder. The urethra is a tube that allows urine to pass from the bladder to the outside. Bacteria may come from the lower intestines, the rectal area, or skin. Occasionally acute cystitis can be the result of medications or trauma.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Acute cystitis is more common in women. Other factors that may increase your risk of uncomplicated cystitis include:
- History of acute cystitis
- Sexual activity
- Barrier methods of birth control—use of diaphragm or condoms coated with spermicide
Factors that increase your risk of complicated cystitis include:
- Having a urinary catheter
- History of childhood urinary tract infection
- Compromised immune system
- Pregnancy
- Diabetes, type 1 or type 2
- Abnormalities of urinary system, such as kidney stones or kidney transplant
- Enlarged prostate
- Catheter use
- Birth control devices—use of diaphragm or with spermicide
Symptoms may include:
- Frequent and urgent need to urinate
- Passing only small amounts of urine
- Pain in your abdomen, pelvic area, or lower back
- Burning sensation during urination
- Leaking urine
- Increased need to get up at night to urinate
- Cloudy, bad-smelling urine
- Blood in your urine
- Low-grade fever
- Fatigue
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Urine will be tested and cultured for the presence of bacteria.
If complicated cystitis is suspected, additional tests may be necessary. These may include imaging studies to examine the bladder.
Acute cystitis is treated with antibiotics. It is important to take all antibiotics as recommended. Finish all your antibiotics even if you are feeling better.
Your doctor may also prescribe medication to reduce pain and bladder spasms.
Here are some steps you can take to keep bacteria out of your urinary tract:
- Drink plenty of liquids.
- Include cranberry juice in your diet. Some studies support the use of cranberry juice to prevent urinary tract infections.
- Urinate when you have the urge. Do not resist it.
- Empty your bladder before and after sexual intercourse.
- Wash genitals daily.
- If you're a woman, always wipe from the front to the back after having a bowel movement.
- Avoid using douches and feminine hygiene sprays.
