—To her prospective husband, Sholat Yomaget |
Nabé Harjoril was a member of the Harjoril family and the only surviving royal handmaiden of Wosté Sharosa, and eventually a bounty hunter and Mandalorian. She was descended from Padmé Amidala's sister Sola Naberrie. |
Early Life(115 ABY to 129 ABY)Edit |
By the time Nabé was born, the Harjoril family had been at the top or near the top of Naboo society for a century, but her mother, Leia Naberrie, constantly reminded her as a girl of her relation to some of the galaxy's most famous past heroes, and possibly to the Fel family, as it was generally believe on Naboo that t... |
Handmaiden(130 ABY to 131 ABY)Edit |
As Nabé's new mistress ascended the throne, so did Darth Krayt on Coruscant, deposing the Fels. Queen Sharosa avoided having to make a statement about him publicly, while privately she made it known that she in no uncertain terms objected to the rule of the Sith. Nabé later quoted her as saying, "I will perish as Amida... |
She ended up doing just that. In 131 ABY she officially received Krayt and invited him into her palace. Arming Nabé, who of all the handmaidens was the best shot with a blaster, she kept her near her as she talked with Krayt, then dropped a sudden hint that were Roan Fel and his daughter killed, she might have a claima... |
Life in Seclusion(131 ABY to 134 ABY)Edit |
A Imperial soldier vaguely sympathetic to Roan Fel, discovering that Nabé was still alive, arranged to have her smuggled back to her family estate, where she recuperated. Her parents encouraged her to remain in quiet retirement and find a husband as soon as it was safe for her to meet with other people. Nabé, however, ... |
Hoping she might be Force sensitive, in 132 ABY Nabé snuck into an abandoned Jedi enclave on Naboo which had been active after the Yuuzhan Vong war. For two years she studied the materials she retrieved and tried to get into contact with the Force. Eventually she was forced to conclude she had no Force ability and gave... |
At the same time, she also decided that the only way to make a difference was to just go out and try, and she left Naboo to start her quest. |
Mercenary/Bounty Hunter(134 ABY to 150 ABY)Edit |
Nabé ended up working as a mercenary for various military forces, most of which were vaguely against the Empire, or just against Krayt. She found that the more time went on, the less she cared which. Five years after she left Naboo, she found herself unexpectedly one of two candidates for commanding a group of expatria... |
He offered to help her gain credentials as a bounty hunter, and she accepted. The two of them worked and traveled together for nearly a year, at the end of which, they had fallen in love. Sholat, at Nabé's overtures, told her that he would have her only as his wife, and as a Mandalorian herself. But Nabé felt she had h... |
For the next ten years, Nabé took jobs from supporters of Fel, and occasionally others when she needed the money. She met up with Sholat occasionally and worked with him in 146 ABY, during which he told her his offer of marriage still stood. |
Finally, in 150 ABY, she found herself working with a whole group of Mandalorians for several months, let by a certain Enis Tolt. Though they did not include Sholat, they knew who she was and treated her accordingly. When the mission was nearing its end and half of them survived a massacre attempt, Nabé was again invit... |

Editorial & Graphic Design |
No Limit(e) is an urban magazine made in Portugal which idea is to create a very specific stetic to be connected directly with the city. |
The name for the first number is: "Intervention in the urban space", so i decided to create a brand which idea is imitate the "dripping" of paint (like in the paints made with spray), but at the same time to be more geometric. |
The idea of the whole magazine, is like a playground. The're pictures out of the page where you can only see a few centimeters, some titles are cut and jump to the next page, sometimes you have to rotate the magazine to read it, etc. |
It's like an "error magazine", but made in porpuse. |

We Should Have Elected This Guy |
From an El Paso Inc. interview: |
Q: People say El Paso’s taxes are among the highest in the nation, though that’s probably the combined property taxes of the city, county, school district, community college and the hospital district. Budget season’s coming. What do you want to do about taxes? |
Well, I don’t want ’em to go up; that’s the bottom line. Given the revenue estimates, we’ll have to budget accordingly. |
No, I’m not in favor of increased taxes. Everything you’re saying is correct, and we’re going to be heading into two different utilities wanting rate increases. We’re going to have to get into that and determine how it’s going to be handled. |
That was mayoral candidate Dee Margo. |
Oh, wait. Never mind. |
1. He went to Austin and slashed funds for public schools. He takes over the EPISD and what does he do? Leads a scheme to stick homeowners with a “facilities improvement” boondoggle that will SIGNIFICANTLY raise taxes. This guys not a Republican or a conservative or anything but a false prophet, a fraud and deceitful... |
2. I moved into the neighborhood about 10 years ago. I am an interloper and barely white trash but I thought if I lived near Ann Morgan Lilly and Dee Margo I would somehow be transported into the fast track. One morning I was walking my dog about 6am. I walked by Dee’s house and he was in his front yard picking up th... |

Learning thanks to subjective perception (perceptive reality) |
We have so far mentioned many times that we are confronted «by life» with situations which permit us to learn the ability to live the basic rights of existence. If for example we are to learn to let things go, then we are constantly put into situations where we have to decide whether we want to cling on to something o... |
