“Dirty Little Secrets” | Bad Breeders Gloucester child abuse case leads to the discovery of a child’s body Child found starving, parents charged Murder charges levied against parents of caged, starved girl First, I am going to start this out by thanking the many readers who sent in tips on this story.

Good new is the little girl and her brother are both in protective custody. But Wait! Normally the post would end there, but it gets more interesting and worse. Related

Shift_JIS art (Shift_Japanese Industrial Standards art) is artwork created from characters within the Shift JIS character set, a superset of ASCII intended for Japanese usage. Shift_JIS has become very popular on web-based bulletin boards, notably 2channel, and has even made its way into mainstream media and commercial advertising in Japan. Within the Japanese community, Shift_JIS art is sometimes abbreviated as SJIS art, but is most commonly referred to as "AA" meaning ASCII art, although it rarely restricts itself to the 95 printable characters within the ASCII standard. As with ANSI art, SJIS art is sometimes used for animation. In Japanese media[edit] The Japanese movie and television show, Densha Otoko (電車男?) Gallery[edit] Giko neko (ギコ猫, gikoneko?)

Ten largest North American anime conventions of 2009 - AnimeCons News News Report January 12, 2010 Ten largest North American anime conventions of 2009 by Patrick Delahanty, AnimeCons.com Senior Editor Looking back on 2009, there seem to be two black clouds hanging over the anime convention world: the economy and the swine flu scare. While they may have been a concern for those attending anime conventions, the anime convention industry still saw some growth throughout the year, even if that growth wasn't as rapid as it had been several years ago. With 2009 unemployment rates in the United States ranging from 7.7% to 10%, the economy impacted many conventions as people cut back on the number of conventions they attended and opted to visit nearby conventions rather than travel to larger conventions. The threat of swine flu started to affect anime conventions in the spring when some Japanese guests cancelled appearances out of fear. Our anime convention database contains 257 conventions for 2009. Coming in fifth is Sakura-Con.

304sophs - The Great Depression The Great Depression was the worst economic disaster in the history of the United States. Because of it, over a third of Americans were out of work, children were taken out of school because it no longer mattered to parents if they got an education or not, the parents wanted the children to get jobs to support the family. It can be said that the Great Depression was caused mainly in part by excessive spending on new products, the vast investment of the stock market, the unequal distribution of wealth during the 1920s, and lastly, peoples’ confidence and naivtivity. The events leading to the Great Depression began in the period of time identified as the ‘Roaring 20s’ (named so because of Americas booming economy through the 20s). During the 20s’ new inventions such as the radio and automobile were introduced and people just couldn’t get enough. The Beginnings The Great Depression was mainly the fault's of The Stock Market.

Dark Girls Movie — The Dark Girls documentary movie about dark-skinned women has a fansite! Robert Wadlow Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940), also known as the Alton Giant and the Giant of Illinois, is the tallest person in history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. The Alton and Illinois monikers reflect the fact that he was born and grew up in Alton, Illinois.[1] Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m)[2][3][4] in height and weighed 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. Early life[edit] Robert Pershing Wadlow was born to Addie Johnson and Harold Wadlow in Alton, Illinois on February 22, 1918, and was the oldest of five children. Later years[edit] Wadlow's size began to take its toll: he required leg braces to walk, and had little feeling in his legs and feet. Wadlow was a celebrity; he was well-known owing to his 1936 U.S. tour with the Ringling Brothers Circus and his 1938 promotional tour with the INTERCO. Wadlow was a Freemason. One year before his death, he passed John Rogan as the tallest person ever. Legacy[edit] In music[edit] Height chart[edit]
Sydney Easter Weekend Dollfie Meet by Moé Moé Rabu Its been way over a month since this event but I finally got around to sifting and editing the photos. Last month I was invited by my dollfie friend Megami to an Easter themed dollfie meetup. Its been a very long time since I went to a dollfie meet, like WAY back in 2007, and I was once again excited about attending one since I am now an owner of my own dollfie. Another thing about turning up to this meetis to get me some practice in photographing dollfies on the spot. Since it was Easter, there was also an Easter theme for this meetup and there was a small competition and anyone could enter. The winner was the one with the red hair and black hat. One major difference between a super dollfie and dollfie dream is that a SD can be posed much more easier than a DD. At first I was only going to bring Erika, but she insisted that I bring along Roobar’s dollfie, Saber. Overall the dollfie meet was great fun. On another note some of the photos here turned out good, and some not so.
