The Harlem Fine Arts Show (HFAS) celebrates the African Diaspora by bringing together contemporary artists with the growing class of collectors. The goal of facilitating this coming together is to showcase cultural ideas and raise awareness of this extraordinary body of work created by these international, national and local artists.
As a result of sponsorship provided by numerous national and local businesses, HFAS travels to communities around the nation. It provides a platform for highlighting advances made in the arts, education, economics, healthcare, and generally throughout the communities to which it travels. Additionally, it recognizes and honors those who by working in these various sectors, have dedicated themselves to raising up their communities and those who live in them.
Our lecture series is an educational forum that offers insights from influential professionals in the arts, finance, and diversity sectors. Discussion topics focus on the national and international impact of arts and culture.
Youth Empowerment Day (YED) is a S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) program. Since art programs are being cut from schools, YED is an avenue for students to be exposed to the arts outside of the classroom. Students from participating schools are able to tour the art show for free, watch a play depicting multicultural experiences, interact with artists about how the arts connects to science, and speak with sponsors about career opportunities. Thus, YED is a way for students to embrace the past and archive the history of now.

Feature article in Boat International March 2020
LeVen Yachts
written by Kate Lardy
You can't frequent the Bahamas' Out Islands without taking a few risks. Getting to the wild isles requires running over shallow banks, which are littered with coral heads, and the most intriguing anchorages and inlets tend to have a mere metre or so of water in them. The superyacht industry may talk about a 2.5-metre draught as being "Bahamas friendly" but the fact is, it is the smallest boats, drawing significantly less than this, that have the most fun here.
This is something Nassau resident Lucas Silva knows well. He also understands that with risk comes great reward. The shallow, clear waters make an unbeatable playground for his extended family to enjoy together. His yachts of choice to play with here have ranged from a 37-metre raised pilothouse Admiral to a 15-metre Nisi power cat. Both award winners, the one thing they had in common was a flair for the unusual – and that element is what he has taken with him on his quest to create the ultimate Bahamas superyacht.
For this, his third yacht built with consultant YachtCreators, he wanted to bring together the best traits of his previous boats: from the catamaran, the ability to connect with the water; from the Admiral, the comfort and security of a superyacht. The result? A 27-metre vessel built to class with huge deck spaces that can park itself right on the beach.
All design decisions were made while picturing a beautiful day in the Exumas – those 365 unspoiled islands of brilliant-white sand and swimming-pool-blue water. The yacht needed to have a shallow draught, of course, and to harmoniously blend indoor and outdoor spaces together to keep guests at one with the unique and gorgeous surroundings.
Vripack, initially consulted for the naval architecture, ended up taking over the entire design, inside and out, while fellow Dutch company Van der Valk was chosen to build the all-aluminium yacht. YachtCreators, working with Silva, were the drivers that pulled the concept together, creating a whole new brand – LeVen – in the process.
The three-tiered aft deck is the first hint that this is not your typical motor yacht. A generous bathing platform is the launch pad for the water toys kept in the adjacent lazarette, which YachtCreators calls the trunk. The mezzanine level is the primary lounging area, with aft-facing seating for keeping an easy eye on young swimmers, while the dining table sits higher still, giving crew a chance to set up for meals while not disturbing guests.
A long flybridge overhang shelters the dining area. Hovering at an immense height over the deck, it gives the space a superyacht feel that belies the 27-metre LOA. It also makes for an almost 12-metre-long top deck above: a sophisticated outdoor lounge that straddles sun and shade, and is also the home of the yacht's only bridge.
Inside, oversized windows offering a true 360-degree view provide that all-important connection with the water. The main deck is designed around a "great room" concept, combining the saloon and galley into one big space. Forward, instead of a helm station, is the open galley. Guests seated at the island here have premium forward-facing views while under way.
Virtual reality technology played a key role in the arrangement. Barin Cardenas, CEO of YachtCreators, says they presented the yacht in full VR two years ago as a marketing tool, but "it ended up that we noticed things we didn't like by walking the space. The galley was originally aft, the lounge was wrapping under the windshield and looked back. We switched the entire main deck based on VR."
In tune with the yacht's intended cruising grounds, the interior decor has a casually elegant beach feel. The natural palette relies on grey- washed oak that has a light sandy tone, contrasted with brushed metal in a dark bronze. There is nothing shiny or glaring. It is a calm and neutral milieu in which ornate detailing is eschewed for simple yet luxurious comforts, like the soft leather of the sofas that invite you to sit. "It's about giving you the feeling that you are not afraid to touch anything, even if you come right from the beach," says Marnix Hoekstra, co-creative director of Vripack.
Down below, a wall covering in the master suite picks up on the theme by mimicking ripples in the sand. This aft cabin is rivalled by a substantial VIP forward. "It's an example of how our design is underpinned by the naval architecture," says Hoekstra. The hull is extra beamy forward, allowing space for this generous VIP.
It's a layout that suits Silva's family. Like many yachts, the LeVen must cater for a multi- generational group, and Silva himself takes the VIP in order to offer his parents the master. A twin cabin to port takes care of the kids, and
there is an extra queen cabin for guests to starboard. In all cabins, the hull windows stretch sufficiently low for those lying in bed to get an invigorating sea view.
"The idea was to tackle the five senses sight, sound, taste, smell, touch," Cardenas "Everything that you see should connect with the water, everything your hand touches should feel good." Sound – or lack thereof – is taken care of by a superyacht-grade noise attenuation system by Van Cappellen. Furthermore, all house systems can run off batteries for a completely silent yacht at anchor.
"The electric system is a bit different than the usual yacht," Cardenas explains. "Much like a Tesla, everything runs through the batteries. All systems AC/DC/120/240 – everything is powered from a massive lithium battery bank offering stable, constant and clean That bank is constantly topped off by several independent systems for a truly redundant power source."
This was a key part of the plan to make a "beachfront home experience", as Cardenas describes it. "Drop anchor, lower the main deck windshield, fully open the saloon doors and let the ocean breeze run through the main deck from bow to stern," he says. "Self-closing doors will keep the cabins cool, as the lithium bank can run full hotel operations and the lower deck air conditioning for eight hours in daytime. In the evening the generators come on to top off the batteries while guests take hot baths, cook dinner and such. This then lets the boat run in silent mode in full night operations for up to 12 hours." Comfort under way is helped by Vulkan thrust- bearings that separate the running gear from the gearbox and engine, so there is none of that jerky push-and-pull feeling when the engines engage. "This also means the engines can move independently, so we can use softer mounts and a stiff engine bed for a massive reduction in vibrations," adds Cardenas.
But the main contribution to a smooth ride is the patented Slide Hull by Vripack. The boat runs flat; there is no bow rise thanks to this revolutionary design that directs the passing water to "slide" down the hull (see previous page). It is Vripack's largest application of the hull shape to date.
The designers then took it one step further, reducing the draught to an incredibly shallow 1.37 metres by incorporating Voith Linear Jet propulsion. In this system, the propellers are fully protected within nozzles integrated into the hull. They are quiet, vibration-free, efficient and, above all, allow the yacht to access shallow areas with confidence – with even the option to "beach" the yacht, like a dinghy or catamaran.
"THE IDEA WAS TO TACKLE THE FIVE SENSES. EVERYTHING YOU SEE SHOULD CONNECT WITH THE WATER, EVERYTHING YOUR HAND TOUCHES SHOULD FEEL GOOD"
"The nozzles are made from cast aluminium so they can hold the vessel's weight," says Yoeri Bijker, of Van der Valk Shipyard. The LeVen is the second vessel to incorporate this drive system following a commercial catamaran three years ago. Initially there was some question about whether it would work on a monohull, but Hoekstra saw the potential and draught advantages of combining it with the Slide Hull. "The only thing we have left to do is beach her," he says. "I can't wait to do that."
While this particular design is the answer to Silva's yachting needs, it is also a repeatable concept that YachtCreators and Van der Valk are offering as a new range. The aluminium construction makes it highly adaptable to various layouts.
The hull is made from such a strong skeleton and rigid frame that we don't need any structural bulkheads, so can freely make an arrangement in terms of the interior," says Bijker. It's a concept that will appeal to anyone looking for a luxurious castaway experience. YachtCreators may be calling the LeVen 90 "the ultimate Exumas superyacht", but it's really for family-focused owners everywhere who want to be close to the sea.

Tyrell Gentle
Early on Saturday morning, October 15, Tyrell Gentle, a four-year senior with a love for basketball, soccer and Acros, chose to leave us. That same evening students, parents, staff and church members came together to share memories of Tyrell and support each other as they tried to process what had happened.
Returning to school on Monday was difficult, but God showed up in the form of community members and MCE students. Church members and friends came ready to listen, sit quietly with, or hug students and staff, while students from MCE each brought a stuffed animal from home to give to a high school student or staff so they would have something to cuddle and hang on to as they continued with the routine of school.
A variety of counselors were available to speak with everyone about the situation and the grieving process. While the initial shock has receded, the administration continues to work with professionals to ensure that students and staff have the support they need in the days and weeks to come.
During the celebration of life service held this past Tuesday, the community was able to pay their final respects for Tyrell and show their love and support to his family. Although Tyrell will be greatly missed, we will hold fast on the promise of Jesus coming again!

To locate all $ Z$-eigenvalues of a tensor more precisely, we establish three $Z$-eigenvalue exclusion sets such that all $ Z$-eigenvalues do not belong to them and get three tighter $Z$-eigenvalue inclusion sets of tensor by using these $Z$-eigenvalue exclusion sets. Furthermore, we show that the new inclusion sets are tighter than the existing results via two running examples.

For a new driver, the Castle Combe Circuit's three home championships provide an ideal opportunity to learn race meeting etiquette and hone race craft. This is true whether you are a young driver or a more mature enthusiast with new found disposable income. Spectators get to know the drivers and cars, which also assists drivers in finding regional sponsorship.
The one circuit championships at Castle Combe, arguably the most successful in the country, attract full grids even though many national championships struggle to achieve double figures. Grouping races in one area reduces transport costs, which both novices and experienced drivers find particularly attractive. It's not just the short travelling distances either, as testing can also be minimised once drivers familiarise themselves with the circuit and set up their cars accordingly.
Catering for Kent engined Formula Ford 1600's, this superb championship has been a crowd favourite at the circuit since 1969. The Castle Combe Championship is now the oldest in the country and arguably the most successful, blending intense competition with a friendly atmosphere amongst the competitors. Large grids and close racing ensure the success of the Championship for competitors, sponsors and spectators alike!
This very successful class-based Championship's big attraction is the wide diversity of eligible cars capable of being competitive. Whilst the nimble front wheel drive hatches have traditionally been favourites there is now a competitive group of turbocharged cars featuring in the results.
The Series was introduced in 2017, has always attracted large grids with some fantastic, competitive racing. With a wide mix of non-turbo saloons of any age utilising treaded (MSA) Motorsport UK approved 1A, 1B and 1C tyres.
Hot Hatch Challenge Series event will consist of 15 minutes qualifying and a 20 minute race with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies awarded to each of the 5 classes.
NEW FOR 2019 - New Mini R53 Class! Come and join the fun!

Missing Teen Leads Officials To Incestuous Sex Ring In Alabama
Selina Leavitt
Brittney Wood, 19, went missing in 2012. She was last seen with her uncle, Donnie Holland, who was found shot dead in his car shortly after.
Wood is believed dead at this point, but her disappearance led to an in-depth investigation that uncovered an incestuous sex ring in Alabama. The Associated Press reported that the incest and child abuse went on for three generations in two families that merged when Donnie Holland married Wendy Wood, Brittney's aunt.
"You'd be surprised how many of them had prior allegations. Nothing happened," said Teresa Heinz, an assistant district attorney in Baldwin County, Alabama. "You have to wonder what wouldn't have happened to these children if something had been done. And Brittney might still be alive."
Officials are unsure of how many children have been affected by the sex ring, but the number is estimated to be somewhere between 11 and 16 children who could have been as young as 3 or 4 when their abuse began.
The suspects involved in the sex ring are believed to have made the children watch their relatives perform in orgies when they weren't physically molesting them. Parents within the family are believed to have shared their own children with others in the ring for the purpose of sex.
The children of all the suspects have been removed and placed into foster care or with family members who were not a part of the heinous crimes.
Donnie Holland was reported to be the leader of the sex ring at one point.
"Donnie was the manager. He'd say, 'I've got this child and this adult, come on over,'" said Nicki Patterson, Mobile County Assistant District Attorney.
Since then, 11 individuals have been charged with crimes related to the Alabama sex ring. Several of those were related to Brittney Wood, including two uncles, her brother, and her own mother.
Wood's uncles and brother all plead guilty in court. Her mother, Chessie Wood, denies any involvement in the sex ring and is currently waiting to be tried.
Chessie Wood expressed how she felt about being charged.
"There are innocent people in this and there are guilty people in this. I don't know how the judicial system is going to figure it all out because they're not the sharpest tools in the shed."
Meanwhile, the district attorney is still trying to look into how the sex ring managed to go through generations of family members without being discovered, despite complaint reports filed.
"You look at these reports and wonder, 'Why? How did it not go anywhere?'" said Heinz.

Sinn Féin submission on East-West relations
This submission is intended to aid the debate on how new structures would assist the search for a lasting peace. A sovereign agreed Ireland will evolve institutions with our nearest neighbour based on a relationship of trust, equality and respect. Our problem is how to create steps which will get us to that point. Our analysis today is focused on the practical difficulties which face us in the attempt to force Britain to deal with Irish people and our discussions and debates on a basis of equality. The Framework document is not a blueprint. Our evaluation is based on our Republican analysis of the way forward and the principles outlined by John Hume and Gerry Adams in their agreed statements.
It is important when debating any future new structures which might emerge this side and the other side of the Irish Sea from all party peace negotiations that sight is not lost of the nature of the political problem that is being tackled. From a republican/nationalist perspective the problem lies in the interference in Ireland, dating back many centuries, of the British government. Arising from this long military occupation and the measures taken by successive generations of Irish people to remove that presence, we have been left with a legacy of division and misunderstanding among the Irish people themselves and between the Irish and British people - exactly what a policy of "divide and rule" was designed to manufacture.
Sinn Féin believes that the division and misunderstanding can be overcome provided there is a willingness on all sides to address the root of the problem: Britain's presence in the Six Counties. Any new institutions and structures put in its place should be based on this reality and should be designed to address it.
Meaningful structures which help to remove division and to encourage agreement between the people of Ireland on a political settlement would be welcomed by Sinn Féin. Similarly structures which foster good relations between Ireland and Britain are to be welcomed.
The present 'East-West' governmental structures consist of the normal diplomatic channels between Dublin and London, the Intergovernmental structures set up under the 1985 Hillsborough Agreement and the British-Irish Parliamentary Body.
The Intergovernmental Conference and the Maryfield Secretariat were put in place against the background of promises that the Hillsborough Treaty would "end the nationalist nightmare". Nationalists in the Six Counties were assured that their rights would be guaranteed through the Dublin government's participation in the Hillsborough structures.
The experience remains, on the contrary, that abuses of their rights by the British state continued after 1985 and in a number of ways, their situation has deteriorated. In the years after 1985 the Prevention of Terrorism Act and the Emergency Provisions Act were extended and refined, abuse in interrogation centres continued, nationalist districts remained under siege from British forces who raided and arrested at will, direct political censorship was imposed on broadcasting by the British government. Along the border a line of forts, spy-posts and watch-towers sprang up - the Hillsborough Wall - and the entire British military infrastructure was reinforced.
Loyalist death squads were re-armed with the help of British intelligence and intensified their campaign of political and sectarian assassinations. Collusion between British forces and loyalists became a public issue but as the Stevens Report debacle made clear the British government's main concern was to cover it up.
Throughout this period all these issues and more were raised by nationalists with successive Dublin governments and in turn raised by them with the British government through the Intergovernmental Conference and the Maryfield Secretariat. But the British remained unresponsive as ever. The Hillsborough 'East-West' structures, as far as nationalists and republicans were concerned were largely ineffective and became simply a conduit for complaints which were met with indifference or intransigence by the British government. The "nationalist nightmare" continued.
British government intransigence did not end with the commencement of the peace process. Throughout this process they have had to be pushed at every stage to play a positive part. Their sincerity in engaging in the search for lasting peace remains in doubt. Of particular concern now is their stance on the issue of all party peace talks. British bad faith and procrastination, exemplified by the refusal to initiate such talks combined with the continual placing of arbitrary conditions on Sinn Fein, is causing widespread public concern. We need to ask the question, do the British want a Peace Process in the first place? Or do they hope to gradually recreate a scenario of "divide and rule".
Of increasing concern is the treatment of political prisoners, especially those in England - for whom conditions have actually deteriorated since the cessation . Britain once before underestimated the depth of support and concern that exists for the prisoners. They are making a fundamental mistake if they continue as at present to implement the failed policies of the past. The prisoners and their families cannot be used as political hostages and failure to address their situation has the potential to further undermine confidence in the entire peace process.
In the light of such a negative response from the British government there is a clear duty on all of us to exert whatever influence and political pressure we can on Britain to move towards a pro-active and positive role as a persuader for agreement and for the immediate implementation of civil and human rights.
Clearly any new structures must set aside the failures of the past, not repeat them. For too long the East-West relationship between Ireland and Britain has been one of domination and subjugation. Political structures based on British jurisdiction in Ireland and on partition have failed because they maintain that unequal relationship.
Relationships on a non-governmental level, such as in trade unions and voluntary organisations, demonstrate the good relationships between Irish and British people. Many trade unions and voluntary organisations already have an East-West dimension, and this works well when it is done on a basis of equal partnership, not the domination which has characterised the British government's relations with Ireland in the past.
Sinn Fein believes any new structures between Ireland and Britain should be used to assist the resolution of the conflict, facilitating a negotiated settlement on the basis of all-party talks. A lasting solution will be based on national self-determination for the Irish people. A national democracy will decide what formal structures, if any, are needed between Britain and Ireland.
Ultimately the aim should be for structures which encourage and enhance good relationships between two neighbouring sovereign states.

WINDSOR ESSEX MPs CALL FOR TAX DEADLINE EXTENSION, WARN OF MASS PHOENIX T4 ISSUES
February 27th, 2017 - 4:57pm
WINDSOR – Due to the ongoing Phoenix pay system fiasco, local New Democrat MPs are calling on the Liberal government to extend the 2016 CRA tax filing deadline to avoid further headaches and delays.
"After issuing thousands of incorrect T4s, the government now expects Canadians to file their taxes based on wrong information. This will lead to incorrect assessments and unfair delays for Canadians," said Cheryl Hardcastle, MP (Windsor—Tecumseh). "The obvious solution is to extend the tax filing deadline so the government can sort this mess out before creating a whole new one."
One year after the roll out of Phoenix, thousands of public servants still have not been paid what they have earned. Now, in the midst of tax season, an estimated 50,000 erroneous tax slips were sent out and the CRA has said that even if T4s are inaccurate, public servants must still file their taxes on time.
"I've met with many people in Essex who have been impacted by the Phoenix pay system fiasco, some who waited months for a paycheque and others who were massively overpaid. Now they're concerned about getting stuck in another cycle of government delays and mismanagement," added Tracey Ramsey, MP (Essex).
"The Phoenix pay system has been a disaster from the start. One year later, it's still putting excessive stress on public servants. With the upcoming budget, the Liberal government should properly fund departments and agencies to ensure this debacle is fixed once and for all," said Brian Masse, MP (Windsor West).
The three largest federal public service unions are urging the government to include a $75 million Phoenix contingency fund in the upcoming federal budget to help ensure public service workers are paid correctly and on-time.


The Sprinkles Club is an attempt by All Things Yummy to spread cake-love. Members get a different bag of flavors every month. What's more – it's delivered right to your doorstep.
Nimisha realized that while customers love a different mix of cake flavors all served together, it is difficult to provide that variety in small orders given that all cakes are specially handcrafted to suit individual client requirements. However, by baking for multiple cake-lovers at one time, she could bake fresh cakes in bulk and they can try as many as 3 different flavors in one go.. A WIN WIN WIN (expression copyright pending)!
The option of ordering online, makes this process even easier. Try for as short a duration as a month and as long as 3 months at a time. Go on your easiest way to cake heaven yet!

College, Cooking, and Iron Chef America: Dance Walking!
My MFP friends know that I've logged some serious calorie burns under the title: "Dancing around my room like a damn fool." You'd actually be surprised at how many calories dancing burns -- just slap on a HRM, and crank up your favorite tunes!
The question is, would you be up for dancing down 5th Avenue?
Which songs would you dance to? I'm very tempted -- care to join me??
This should go to my best dance mixxx. Just can't stop these hips 'cause they never lie!!!


I'm new here, and I'm just starting out my pokemon collection. My husband and I are thinking about having a baby soon, and I plan on making the baby room pokemon-themed. So I've decided to start collecting pokemon. I don't have very much right now, but there are a few pokemon plushes that I am looking for. First, I'm looking for an 16 inch Emolga plush for a decent price ($50 or under). Second, I'd like to find a large Espeon plush, 10 inches or more. And lastly, does a Delcatty plush exist? I can't find one anywhere, but I would really like one. Please let me know if you have any of these available, or if you know where I can find them. Thanks for the help.
I'm looking for a used Jakks Porygon again. Mine's tail popped off and I lost him somewhere while traveling. :( Anyone wanna help me out?
Sooo, I took a trip to that Japanese store I posted about the other day. Today, I bring photos, information, and more questions on pricing!
Hi im new and im looking for a flame plate arceus zukan figure so i f anyone would help me out i would appreciate it.
2.Who sells those custom pokedoll tags i've been seeing around?
►your old feedback still counts! but any feedback left on an old thread after jan 1st 2012 will be null in void! ONLY leave community feedback on the NEW system from now on!
►wall of shame/negative feedback rules have not changed! you still lose sales permission after 3 negatives, and old (relevant) ones DO still count!
►however! i will soon make a modpost for the sole purpose of discussing giving partial bans based on someone's percentage feedback rating and NOT the amount of negatives. this means someone with 3 old negatives and 50 new positives would be out of the doghouse. like the idea? think it over and bring your opinions to my next modpost!
and now... on to the personal part of my post!
an amazing girl who saw me struggling with our purchases stopped me and insisted on helping!!! this was AFTER a woman had ALSO helped me hold some of my pair pika baskets waiting in line for the register!
the moral is... if you ever see someone who might really need a hand, you just might end up making an amazing new fun friend. the kindness of strangers, it is crazy wonderful!!
and, of course. i did keep a dreamy plush for myself!! i love weasels and all in their family of mustalidae, which includes skunks, badgers, stoats, wolverines, and....OTTERS!!!
so i do have a VERY VERY tiny mijumaru collection, with his adorable pokedoll and canvas plush, and now of course...THIS BIG FELLOW.
and now pair pika sales :) i've stocked most of the rest of the available goods, ALL SO CUTE!! please note sunyshore.com just moved servers so if you get any errors please let me know!
Quick less than 24 hour sales!
So here we go! A different type of sales this time! I'll only be able to reply to comments until tomorrow morning!
Tomorrow I leave for ALA so i need some quick cash-ola! Under the cut are pokecen plush, lots of figures and other random things!
I was wondering if anyone had these adorable munchlax cheebee figure (or so i think its called) by Jakks Pacific, my uncle had one but missed placed it before I could convince him to sell me it.
1) This is the one and only reminder for my Complete Base Set TCG Auction. Click the image below for info on that. It ends this Friday at 11:59pm EST.
I was shocked to find TFGs at the flea market. :O And they're in great condition. I was wondering, does anyone know how much the Green Trainer sells for? And, would anyone be interested in it? Also, does anyone know what the James figure is? I just bought it 'cause I <3 James. lol.
3) chibi_flare wanted a Pikachu and Pichu Bros. Jumbo card, so I'll be going to the local Pokemon card shop again. I don't make it out there that often, so I've decided to offer to pickup more Jumbo cards for people. I will be going sometime next week.
4) Speaking of card trades! I'm still open for TCG trades. And probably always will be. lol. This, however, will be the last week I can ship immediately. Classes start back next week so I'll be moving back into my college apartment.
I'm interested in getting the Pichu charm from both of these sets...if anyone is selling them. Also, if someone is interested in the Pikachu from the new set, I know someone who is interested in Raichu, so if we can find a set for sale, we could split the price.
WTB: Emolgas - Gauging Interest? Squirtle Melon Bread!
:) I am aware of online sellers and venders that do have the MPC in stock - but if someone is looking to give theirs up for adoption I'd love to take it off your hands. Just as long as it's in good condition and clean- does not need the tag attached or at all, but preferred.
I can pay, but I'll also offer to make you pokemon parfaits or such instead! Since unless something drastic happens - I don't plan to open any commissions up annnnny time soon, but for those plushes I won't mind.
I wanted this item to be more "pokemon inspired" rather than plain out exactly like Squirtle so thus Zenigame no Meronpan was created.
However my question is ;; is anyone interested in them? I really made them out of sheer fun, and the normal kameronpan were used to make these keychains , and I plan to use them for various projects.
And anyways if anyone is interested, would you prefer them as a magnet (so they'd look like they're crawling all over your fridge or board), like those keychains, or just as is? Or any other suggestion?
I have to admit leaving it just as it is is fine, since i kept a few to keep on display in my work desk.
edit: Since there are sales just to be safe!
Granted Sales Permission on 8/4/11 by denkimouse .
All Community Rules apply, and all sales are final :D Any other questions, please ask me.
Also, I still have some leftover kids for sale. The prices have been greatly reduced and there are some popular kids from the last 5 months on there, so check it out if you so desire.
my grandparents just got back from Orlando. they were only there for a day and when i asked them were they went they said...."around". well..today was my b-day and when i opened my last bag from them i was suprised to find a DX turtwig pokedoll. obvoisly they know me more than i thought :) yes!! they said they traveled all the way to "japan" for that....*hehe:)* i didnt even know they had money for that! ( sorry sooooooo excited!) so i consider it my grail! im sooo..YAY!!!
A surprise find (of something I bought last year)!
So I was cleaning my room, right? I thought I wouldn't find something interesting when lo and behold, I found something I bought a while ago!
Lol, I've misplaced them for a year or so.
Aww, the thumbnail gives the surprise away. =/ Oh well. If you want to find out what it is without watching my vid, follow the cut.
My name is Lindsey, though most people call me by my nickname, Leilia. :) I have been lurking around this community for a little bit now, but finally got the guts up to join! XD Also, I'm completely new to Livejournal, so I hope I do everything right!
I've been looking around but maybe I missed something somewhere, I dunno xD I know there's not a lot of what I'm looking for, but I want to try and get what I can. So I guess I should say what it is I want so I can toss my monies at you all huh?

Comparing the Yankees to baseball's most recent super-teams
What similarities and differences through the first 60 games define the most recent six teams to win more than 104 games?
By John Griffin Jun 16, 2022, 1:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Comparing the Yankees to baseball's most recent super-teams
Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images
For the last few years, Major League Baseball has been dominated by super-teams that have been, at least in the regular season, head and shoulders better than pretty much everybody else in the league. Since the Dodgers won 104 games in 2017, in fact, at least one team in the league has finished the season with at least 106 wins, with 2020's pandemic-shortened season being the sole outlier.
Over the first 60 games of the season, this year's Yankees squad looks to be this year's most likely super-team. As of Tuesday night, their 45-16 record (a 120-win pace) led the league by a full five games, while their +127 run differential was more than 20 runs better than the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers. The team's OPS+ (121) and run allowed/game (3.00) were both tops in baseball. For the first two-plus months of the season, they have been, hands down, the best team in baseball.
Nobody wins awards for the best team in baseball in the middle of June, however. Every year, teams get off to a hot start, only to fade down the stretch. What defines the teams that were able to keep it up all year? And how do the 2022 Yankees compare to those teams so far? To see where this year's squad stands next to previous super-teams, I went back and put them next to the 2017 Los Angeles Dodgers, the 2018 Boston Red Sox, the 2019 Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers, and the 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants — or rather, I put them next to where these teams were after 60 games.
The results are, to be blunt, rather surprising — in a good way.
The 2022 Yankees are not just outplaying the rest of the league right now, they are outplaying the first 60 games of the last six squads to win 104 games or more in a single season. Unfortunately, beside this historical note, this chart tells us little that we didn't already know just by intuition: teams that go on to win this many games are very good at scoring runs and at preventing opponents from scoring them. The sole exception here seems to be the 2017 Dodgers, a team that even so would ultimately finish the year with a 103 OPS+.
Similarly, when it comes to the nature of their wins, there are very few things we can truly learn:
For all seven of these teams, we see a lot of very tall green lines, indicating wins by a large margin. We see very few losing streaks, and most of the time, they cap out at three games. The major exception is the 2019 Dodgers, who lost six in a row from April 8 to April 13, bringing their record from 8-2 to 8-8. Winning streaks, on the other hand, are obviously common.
All of this is fun to see and all, but in truth, to see how the current Yankees compare to these squads, we need to dive deeper. And so, let's see how the rosters themselves compare, starting with the lineups.
This chart depicts all hitters from these seven squads with 90 or more plate appearances through the team's first 60 games, along with their wRC+ at that point. Once again, we find some unsurprising trends. For starters, for every team except the 2017 Dodgers, the two hitters who came to the plate the most had a wRC+ well above 100. Additionally, the majority of the batters are well above average at the plate, with several players with a wRC+ upwards of 120.
In many ways, these Yankees are built rather similarly to most of these squads. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton form a dynamic duo akin to Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez, Cody Bellinger and Joc Pederson, and Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford. Surrounding them in the lineup is a small army of hitters that have taken away most landing spots for opposing pitchers. In fact, of the few players with a wRC+ below 100, only one — backup catcher Kyle Higashioka — is a true black hole in the lineup, for despite their rough season-wide stat lines, Joey Gallo and Aaron Hicks have each had hot stretches at the plate (in fact, as of the 60-day mark on Monday night, both have a wRC+ above 140 in the month of June).
It is this lack of a true landing spot that has contributed to the Yankees' success at the plate and which has made their offense even more potent than any of these other super-teams through the first 60 games of the season. But as we know, the true force behind this team's winning ways lies in a pitching staff that has outpaced the league in pretty much every way possible. In fact, of the other six teams we've been talking about, only the 2019 Astros, with a rotation headlined by Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander and Cy Young runner-up Gerrit Cole, was better, relative to the rest of the league, than the current Yankees staff.
So what gives these Yankees the edge over the other super-teams on the mound? In a word, consistency. Let's take a look at the table below, which lists the five pitchers with the most innings through 60 games for the seven teams we've been discussing and their ERA-, along with the ERA- of their bullpens. Note that players who have asterisks next to their name are relievers, which suggests that the team had to tap into their rotation depth early on.
Two things stand out to me. First, and most importantly, the five Yankees pitchers with the most innings pitched so far this season are the same pitchers that the team intended to be in the starting rotation on Opening Day. That, as we all know, is extraordinarily rare in today's game. The Yankees are, in truth, extremely fortunate that the only major injuries to the pitching staff have either been in Triple-A (Luis Gil) or in the bullpen (Chad Green).
The second thing is that this squad, at least so far, doesn't have any real weak points; there is no 2017 Kenta Maeda or 2019 Collin McHugh who ate innings, but didn't provide particularly effective ones, either. In fact, the closest thing the Yankees have had to that this year is official staff ace Gerrit Cole, who has inflated his stats thanks to two outings (May 23rd's start in which he surrendered five runs in eight innings against Baltimore, and last week's disaster against Minnesota). And if Cole is the biggest problem in your rotation, well, that's a good sign.
I'll admit, when I set out on this project, I had hoped to find some major differences between these ballclubs, some unique identifying features that might help us gaze into the crystal ball and see the future of the 2022 Yankees. At the end of the day, however, all we can do is return to the most basic tenet of baseball: to win, you have to score more runs than your opponent. To be a true super-team, you have to do that better than anybody, and that requires both top-flight lineups and pitching staffs.
At the end of the day, it really is that simple.

US celebrates National Dance Day
By Andrew Anderson on	 August 3, 2016 &nbspAnalysis	Dance, News
John F Kennedy Center in Washington DC hosted National Dance Day (NDD) celebrations on 30 July, with other events taking place across the US. Its mission is not only to promote dance but to encourage people to take part in physical fitness activities.
The event was established by Dizzy Feet Foundation co-president Nigel Lythgoe, and has been officially recognised since 2010 when congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton passed a resolution through the US government.
Norton, who co-hosted the event, said it has had a big impact: 'The annual celebration has brought people from all parts of the city to the Kennedy Center to appreciate dance not only as a great way to have fun and express yourself but to live a healthy lifestyle by staying active doing something you love.'
Performers included DC Bhangra Crew, Alex Wong, Joy of Motion Dance Center, Dance Place Step Team, O'Neill James School of Irish Dance, Dance Institute of Washington and Native Pride Dancers.
'We are just so grateful for this incredible event celebrating the fun of movement,' said Debra Eschmeyer, executive director of Michelle Obama's Let's Move! campaign. 'We're big fans of dance and movement.'
There were also dance classes from Helen Hayes and Katherine Kinnunen, and a special class for people suffering from Parkinson's disease led by Lucy Bowen McCauley.
'One of the great things about dance is that it works for everybody,' said Dance/USA executive director Amy Fitterer in a speech at the event. 'It doesn't matter how old or young you are, it doesn't matter where you're from – we all can move together.'
