Review for Fradella's Collision Center - Chalmette
Addison T. on 02/26/2013
Addison said there was a little problem with the personal but they resolved the issue. He chose not to go into any details about the issue. He also said he's very happy with the work and he really appreciates his vehicle being returned cleaner then when he dropped it off. He said the administrative staff and the receptionist are a credit to the business.

DeSmuME is the most seasoned open source Nintendo DS emulator. It sports tools designed for hackers, speedrunners, youtubers, and casual gamers. Homebrew programs are supported and can even be debugged through GDB.
The Windows and OSX versions are both relatively feature rich, and there is a small universe of forks and mods that add even more features for casual gaming.
DeSmuME is the origin of RetroArch and OpenEmu Nintendo DS support and is used by several mobile Nintendo DS emulators, with the notable exception of DraStic.
DeSmuME's source code is now hosted at https://github.com/TASVideos/desmume/

This is a good DS emulator. As game systems become more complex, these emulators have more challenges to face in emulation. The one-man (or small teams) operations that make these emulators have to learn many complicated methods for ironing out bugs. Everyone that spazzes about the emulation not working perfectly really needs to take a chill pill. It's tough work that's only getting tougher. We're lucky to have these things at all. Besides, just use an SDHC card with a slotable chip if you really want to play these games like the console. These emulators aren't for replacing the console itself, just to supplement ownership and potentially be useful for debugging and testing purposes. Relax, tardwads.

Gotu Kola Organic
The Story
Gotu Kola: Centella asiatica
Why Gotu Kola? Gotu kola has been used for centuries in both Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. This versatile herb has been noted to assist the body in actions ranging from supporting the brain in preserving memory to encouraging a natural rise in energy when one feels sluggish.
Quality Assured: Our certified organic gotu kola is responsibly sourced from Sri Lanka. This herb is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and grown without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides. Our experts here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally evaluate every herb through taste, touch, and smell to assure that you are receiving the best botanicals suitable for clinical use.
How to Use
Wellness Support: Gotu kola may help support a healthy response to symptoms of sniffling and coughing during colder seasons, cool an overly active digestive system, and be used topically to aid the skin in its healing functions.
Cautions and Contraindications:
Gotu kola is generally well tolerated when taken orally for 6-12 months. However, irritation and nausea have been reported when given orally in controlled trials, and there are several reports of allergic contact dermatitis after topical application.
Contraindicated for use with diabetes; gotu kola can elevate blood glucose levels. Avoid use during pregnancy due to potential abortifacient properties.
Topical use can cause photosensitivity. Use sunscreen and wear appropriate clothing to prevent sunburn.

This week's ranking check for G5 Entertainment is not showing any major change from last week. Top grossing rankings on iOS are at high levels while G5 continues to struggle on Google Play. The company has had a couple of weeks now without any major game releases. We know from recent comments from CEO Vlad Suglobov that the focus has more and more shifted towards high quality titles and preferably free-to-play games. These take by nature a longer time to develop but hopefully we will see some of them being launched in the near future. Also, G5 published several of its older iOS titles for Google Play at the beginning of 2013. The most important ones still to be converted to Google Play are Doomsday Preppers and Secret Society. These free-to-play titles have developed into nice cash-cows for G5 on iOS and we would love to see them on Google Play soon.

I'm grateful that my patients keep coming back to get their weekly, monthly adjustment in my midtown chiropractic office and always ask for my advice on how they or their loved ones can improve their health naturally.
The first vertebra of the cervical spine is called atlas, or C1. Along with the second vertebra, axis (C2) it forms the joint connecting the skull to the spine. The cervical vertebrae are composed of cylindrical bones (vertebral bodies) that lie in front of the spinal cord, and work with the muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons to provide support, structure and stabilization to the neck.
The role of the cervical vertebrae is to provide strength and structure to the cervical spine which in turn supports the head. It allows the head to rotate (turn right and left), flex (moving the head forward) and extend (move the head backward). Most importantly, the bones of the cervical spine protect the cervical nerves responsible for relaying signals to and from the brain.
Nerves Protected by the Cervical Spine
Here we breakdown each vertebrae and the nerves they protect. We also explain what conditions can occur if these bones are mialigned or subluxated.
C1: Blood supply, brain, pituitary gland, scalp, bones of the face, inner and middle ear.
Subluxations can cause: migraine headaches, nervousness, insomnia, head colds, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue and dizziness.
C2: Eyes, ears, sinuses, muscles of the face and jaw, tongue, and forehead.
Subluxations can cause: sinus trouble, allergies, deafness, eye troubles, earache, fainting spells, and even certain cases of blindness.
C3: Cheeks, outer ear, teeth, trifacial nerve, and bones of the face.
Subluxations can cause: neuralgia, neuritis, and certain skin disorders such as acne or eczema.
C4: Nose, lips, mouth, eustachian tube, and mucous membranes.
Subluxations can cause: hay fever, rose fever, hearing loss, adenoid infections, and post nasal drip.
C5: Vocal cords, neck glands, and pharynx.
Subluxations can cause: laryngitis, hoarseness, and sore throat.
C6: Neck muscles, tonsils, and shoulders.
Subluxations can cause: stiff neck, pain in upper arm, tonsillitis, whooping cough, or croup.
C7: Thyroid gland, bursas of the shoulders and the elbows.
Subluxations can cause: bursitis, colds, thyroid conditions, goiter, tennis elbow, and tendinitis.
Do you or someone you know experience these issues? Set an appointment with our Care Team today!
Only the most common conditions have been listed here. The type of complication will depend on the type of nerve interference (sensory, motor or trophic), the degree of nerve injury and the length of time nerve disturbance is present.
The vertebral subluxation complex is the underlying cause of many health problems. When this condition is corrected, the body functions more normally and initiates the natural healing process. Detection and correction of vertebral subluxations is vital to your health and well-being.

IT recruitment agency margins falling

The average monthly margin charged by IT staffing agencies has declined by three per cent since June, according to figures released recently by CashFriday.
The company, which provides payroll and administration support services to primarily new start agencies in the recruitment industry, says the average gross margin for staffing companies in the IT sector during October was 18.5 per cent, compared to 21.5 per cent in June.
Men for women in tech
This guide showcases some of the men who are helping women to progress in the technology industry and the methods they are using to do so.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The figure is one higher than September's result of 17.5 per cent, notes CashFriday, but is almost two per cent less than the sector's result for August (20.2 per cent).
As a whole, the recruitment industry registered a margin of 25.3 per cent during October - it's highest figure since June (24.4 per cent).
According to the company's managing director, Tom Atkinson, CashFriday bases its monthly margin index on an evaluation of a "basket" of its clients, looking at their actual invoice values and the cost of temps (gross play plus employers NI) to determine an approximate gross margin for the industry. While the company will not reveal who its clients are or how they operate in the IT industry, it does say it works with a sufficient number of agencies nationwide to provide a reliable statistical analysis.
CashFriday was established in 1994 as Eurolead Services.

Please join us this Monday (Memorial Day) for a special fundraiser WOD… The only scheduled classes for Monday will be 7:30am and 8:30am!
The WOD
"21 Guns – A Memorial Salute"
Partner #1:
21 Pull-ups
21 Burpee Box Jumps (20″ Rxd)
21 Partner Med-Ball Throws over pull-up rig (20#/14#)
21 Burpee Box Jumps21 Pull-Ups
Partner #2 executes
Partner #1 again
Partner #2 again
The 21 reps signify a 21 gun salute, the 5 exercises are one for each Branch of the Military. Executing with a Partner signifies the bonds we aim to create between our Nation's Warriors and the communities they grow in and return to, and doing it twice reflects the fact that we honor both the living and the deceased.
Our goals for the WOD and the weekend:
1. Help people remember and observe Memorial Day in a respectful, reflecting, meaningful way.
2. Create a window of opportunity to improve communication between Communities and their Veterans to foster understanding. Ideally, this means finding a Team Red, White, and Blue chapter in your community, and seeking Veterans out to come WOD with you this Memorial Day Weekend.
3. Use this shared experience to build bonds that are restorative to Veterans and their communities.

Gabriel Heinze had a lot to be happy about midway through Argentina's World Cup match against Mexico on Sunday. His teammate Gonzalo Higuain scored in the game's 30th minute to give Argentina a 2-0 lead over their opponents, and his team was already the beneficiary of a badly botched call.
But the 32-year-old defender quickly became angry while celebrating Argentina's decisive second goal. While enjoying the crucial score, a cameraman bumped into Heinze -- and Heinze hit back. Scroll down to watch the altercation.

Web Worker Payoff: Information Architect
Random internet browsing brought me to a choice user response to "internet security measures":
Like, I know they are there for good reason, but so many web sites require so many different variations of passwords, I just can't keep up with them all. My bank for example...It's one of those "password must contain atleas 8 characters, upper and lowercase and atleast one number". Okay, I did that, I've managed to remember it...but then, I have to have 8 different security questions. It doesn't always promt me with one, but about every 5th time I log into the site they throw me one of the questions. I can't keep up with all the answers. There are multiple answers to most of the questions. I don't have a fave band, I have several. I don't have a fave candy, or movie or any of that other crap.... So, if I answer wrong 3 times, they disable my account and make me re-register it.....*grumble*
Demographics: female in her 20s on a social networking site (LiveJournal) with novice to intermediate internet savvy (i.e. email, web, url copying, picture/video uploads, IM, etc.)
I think the most interesting thing here is that a lot of internet security measures put up lots of barriers to entry but don't offer a comparable value to the usere either in terms of real security, or in perceived security.
From USA Today, Nielsen drops page view rankings in favor of weighing time on site as more important.
Article specifically cites online video and Ajax as reasons why page views are meaningless.
Time on site is also skewed. Measuring content views would be a more precise measurement of user engagement. (You can track content views for both video and ajax.)

"We're going to be doing a lot of experimenting around our three core principles of targetability, measurability, and interactivity," he said. "There are a lot of unknowns, and we really don't know yet what viewing patterns are going to be like."
In addition, rather than interrupting programming, Joost will run ads alongside content known as "hand-raisers," which users can click for more information either within Joost's platform or on a brand's own Web site.
Hand-raisers are a great idea. With the potential to be highly contextual and relevant, the clickthrough from ads to really engaging and useful experiences (with sales at the end or not) could be really amazing.
Or it should be really amazing. But knowing how us monkeys like throwing our wrenches in things, I'm sure we can monkey it up.
NexD Journal has a follow-up article to GK VanPatter's Unidentical Twins that triggered much discussion a few months ago. The follow-up is a 4 way conversation between Bob Goodman, Peter Jones, Eric Reiss and GK VanPatter.
I feel like I should post a witty summary, but it is too long to summarise, covers too much ground and (for me) is somewhat hard to grasp (though much easier than the first article).
So I'll pull out just one tiny part that made me chuckle:
"GK: Perhaps we could each talk a little about what the most significant challenge facing us in practice is today and how we grapple with that challenge?
Eric Reiss: The problems facing our practice? In general, I'd say it's folks who push their personal agendas rather than pursuing the greater good. And how do I "grapple with that challenge?" Well, I listen, learn…and give them lots of rope…"
Things You See: Four Views into the Transformation Room
Online Media Daily quotes Jeremy Allaire's views on web video and advertising in Brightcove Founder Lays Out Media Vision For A New Video World.
His remarks were part of his keynote to the Outfront conference. (There's a link to the entire keynote you can watch, as well.)
Interesting comments fmor a smart gyu. Go read. Tasty bits to moisten your lips:
Open distribution and "self-service models" where content can be created and distributed with no cost of entry are leading to an explosion of new programming outlets and niche networks because anyone can create a TV network today--production companies, publishers, or consumers.
The idea, says Allaire, should be some "blended distribution strategy" that includes a branded content site, strategic syndication to affiliate sites, and viral distribution through widgets or players such as Brightcove's that "empower the consumer to distribute it for you." For advertisers, you're looking at extending reach by 50%, 60%, 70% or 80%, he said.
Advertising must be bound to content in this world, Allaire said, and because consumers are more likely to be "snacking"--or clicking around and sampling multiple videos to see which they want to sit through--the existing standard 15-second pre-roll with banner is a complete turnoff, as it forces repeated viewing with a resulting negative effect.
Let's start with Boyd's IP Theft (oops, I mean Dictum) on Prototyping Tools: it is easier for someone who knows what they are doing to transfer a design concept on the back of a business card with a crayon than it is for someone without a clue to perform the same task with any other medium.
In other words, the important part is transferring the design concept not look at the size of my tool.
Sure, some tools make things easier. Some tools are more efficient than others.
You've got a heap of choices. Rightly or not, most client sites in Canberra are Microsoft shops, so for portability purposes there is an argument to use XP-friendly prototyping tools. I'm not saying it's right, just easier.
Some I've looked at include:
There's a lot more to prototyping tools than this - a lot more. This article is a starting place for yet another discussion on the subject.
hey there, this is a test
Richard Dalton has a new blog, and an excellent post called The Forces of User Experience in which he extends Jesse James Garrett's elements of user experience diagram to represent the effect of strategy on other planes.

New York, New York (PressExposure) February 15, 2012 -- Although gold bullion has had an 11-year bull run, Danny Esposito, co-editor for the financial web site and newsletter Penny Stock Detectives, says this move is not over. Esposito believes that gold bullion prices still have a long way to run.
"The average person has yet to participate in this market," says Esposito.
Esposito believes that the best returns are to be found with the gold mining shares. "The miners are extremely undervalued and warrant a serious look by investors."
Another reason that Esposito highlights to own gold bullion is that, if people lose faith in paper money, then gold mining firms will be the central banks of the world.
"They will own the most important currency in the world; gold bullion," says Esposito.
According to Esposito, gold bullion has been used as a currency for the last 5,000 years. Before we began using the U.S. dollar as we know it today, he points out that the currency was printed as a ratio to central bank gold bullion holdings.
"Throughout history, when governments printed a lot of money, the average person turned to gold bullion to preserve his/her wealth," says Esposito.
Even though governments are not talking much about gold bullion, research by Esposito for Penny Stock Detectives, points out that their actions tell a different story. Up until the financial crisis hit in 2008, central banks were net sellers of gold bullion. However, since the money printing began in earnest in 2008, Esposito noticed that central banks around the world have begun accumulating gold bullion in record amounts.
According to Esposito, in 2010, central banks purchased 367.7 tonnes of gold bullion. In 2011, he observes that this number reached a level not seen since 1971, as central banks bought 430 tonnes of gold bullion.
"This is a staggering number," says Esposito. As he analyzes the numbers, he highlights that the emerging economies of China, India and Mexico have been on a buying binge. "From all indications, the demand for the precious metal from these countries will not subside anytime soon," says Esposito.
Esposito notes that "Governments will be forced to continue to print money to help their economies, which will push gold prices even higher."
Published every business day, Penny Stock Detectives researches and analyzes low-priced opportunities in the stock market and individual stock market sectors. Penny Stock Detectives reports on penny stocks, small-cap stocks, micro-cap stocks, high-profit potential plays mostly under $10, and the stock market in general.

text: I have a soft-modded 3.4U Wii, a friend's NAND, but not BootMii on my system. But here's the weird part - the cause. I have MPlayer on my Wii, and I have it set up to use my 7.1 surround system, so I wanted to watch some movies through it instead of using my laptop and only getting stereo sound. So I moved the .avi and .mkv movies that I wanted onto my external Western Digital Passport (120GB, takes power from the USB port), and plugged it into my Wii. It instantly froze. I tried restarting it (it freezes a lot when I try new things, and restarting has always fixed it before.), but it began to behave like a low-level brick. I could turn it on from the controller or the power button, but it wouldn't display the warning screen, or allow the Wii remote to connect. But now it gets weirder. It was really late when I tried this, and I was in a bit of a panic, so I unplugged it and went to bed, hoping that it was just an issue with the RAM, and a total void would fix it. Well, it did. The next day I plugged it back in, started it up, and everything worked fine. I played for several hours, assuming that whatever had caused the problem went away. The next time I tried to start it, however, I got the same black screen. So I unplugged it overnight again, and low-and-behold, it worked. Again. The next time I started it, it failed again. HBC works fine when it starts, so I assume I could install BootMii without an issue. However, this strange behaviour somewhat suggests that there may be a damaged solder connection or something, and the power draw from the external drive caused it to finally give way. On a side note, I always had the drive formatted as FAT32 because the computers at school preferred it, and it was my only means of transferring data. However, as you all know, FAT is wrought with horrible corruption and is easily damaged. After I graduated and became incredibly frustrated with this, I backed up the data and reformatted the drive in HFS+ (Apple's standard format). So what could have caused the failure? What could I do to fix it? Thanks for your help, -Finn EDIT On a whim I removed the battery, in case it was holding some tiny tidbit of data that shouldn't be there. No luck.

Virtual versus Real
I had planned this time around to be writing about how Speekee combines the real world with a virtual counterpart as a great way for kids to learn Spanish. I'll save that post for next time though because for now I'd like to delve a little deeper into the topic I introduced in my last post entitled Gotta Catch 'Em All.
What is Virtual reality?
Wikipedia tells us:
Virtual reality (or VR) is a computer technology that uses software-generated realistic images, sounds and other sensations to replicate an a real environment or an imaginary setting, and simulates a user's physical presence in this environment to enable the user to interact with this space
The word Virtual is elsewhere described as: not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so [emphasis mine]. Its root is in the Latin word Virtulis, which means 'possessing of virtues'.
To summarise, then: Virtual reality is the replication of the real. As such it is NOT real and nor can it be because it is always a version of Reality itself. It is also, by its very nature, always going to fall short of providing for us in the same way Reality does, as I shall explain later.
In my last blog post I took a brief look at the new Pokémon craze. It's a game about hunting down virtual characters in the real world, using your smartphone, and in my piece I suggested that virtual reality seems to be catching up with Reality.
Since writing that post I have seen many children – and many not children – glued to their smartphones as they walk along my street (a small street in a town in southern Spain, hardly a metropolis!) in search of these virtual little critters which can appear just about anywhere on a map which represents the immediate physical reality of the gameplayer. Quite a potent mix, then, of real and virtual.
Is it a dangerous mix?
I have said that Reality must stand alone when compared to its virtual counterpart, but I also said this in my previous post: At some stage will it [virtual reality] not draw level, then actually supercede the real, rendering the world we have always known as superfluous?
Even if the answer to this question cannot be a resounding Yes due to the Virtual's perennial limitations – more on these in a moment – at least a part of What We Know could be under threat (though I have seen no sign of any group standing up for the continuation of this reality we humans have known for thousands of years; a reality which has always rather gently provided our species with all it needs for a happy, healthy life).
No problem, of course, if virtual reality were able to provide us with all we need, but it cannot. It will never feed or clothe us, nor provide us with shelter. The basic requirements for humans to be able to survive in the world are rooted in Reality, and this can never change.
What can change, and what is changing, is the extent to which Virtual reality is overlapping with Reality.
This is connected to human desires rather than human needs. If it were a question of needs, we would all be hurtling headlong towards a virtual world; not just some of us!
Will sufficient balance be maintained in the medium to long term? Comment below…

According to information published by the Tibetan Centre on
Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), 15 Tibetan monks were
detained on 10 March for staging a peaceful demonstration in
Barkhor, Lhasa, the capital of Tibetan Autonomous Region.
There is no information of their current whereabouts or of
any charges brought against them. They are at high risk of
torture and other ill-treatment.
On Monday 10 March hundreds of monks began a march from
Drepung Monastery towards Barkhor. Another group, which
included the 15 monks now in detention, began their march
from Sera Monastery, but were soon detained. The monks had
been demanding that the government ease a "patriotic re-
education" campaign which forces them to denounce the Dalai
Lama and subjects them to government propaganda.
Protests began in other monasteries in support of those
detained. Demonstrations also involving lay people then
followed across Lhasa, in other parts of Tibet and in areas
of the neighboring provinces of Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan
with large populations of Tibetans. On Friday the protests
became violent, with some protesters specifically targeting
and setting fire to Chinese-owned businesses and attacking
people from other ethnic groups.
The Chinese authorities urged the protesters to give
themselves in by Monday 17 March at midnight, Beijing Time,
and promised that those who did would be treated leniently.
As of today, the streets of Lhasa were reported to be
largely quiet and empty.
Police and soldiers are reported to be conducting house to
house sweeps in Lhasa. Some eyewitnesses have reported
individuals being dragged from their homes. There continue
to be reports of unrest in neighboring Sichuan and Gansu
provinces. There are also reports that some Chinese police
and soldiers have used excessive force, including lethal
force, against Tibetan demonstrators in Lhasa and elsewhere.
With large numbers of troops now deployed in the region
further human rights violations may be committed.
The Chinese authorities have imposed a near-total block on
information leaving Tibet and surrounding areas. Permits for
journalists to enter Tibet were stopped from 12 March.
Foreign journalists have been barred or removed from
districts in Gansu, Sichuan and Qinghai provinces, where the
unrest has spread.
The Chinese government has the right and duty to defend all
individuals and property from violence. At the same time
international law requires that the authorities handle such
crises in ways that uphold fundamental human rights and the
principles of necessity and proportionality in the use of
force. For example, firearms should only be discharged as a
last resort and when lives are at risk.
TCHRD has obtained pictures of fourteen of the detained monks. The portraits are on their website at:
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send appeals to arrive as quickly as possible:
- urge the authorities to release the 15 monks named above, as well as all others detained for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression, association and assembly;
- urge the authorities to fully account for all those detained during the demonstrations, ensuring they are not tortured or otherwise ill-treated, have access to lawyers and medical care, are brought promptly before an independent
court and are able to challenge their detention;
- ensure that those prosecuted are charged with internationally recognizable offences and tried in proceedings which meet international fair trial standards;
- allow full and unimpeded access to Tibet and other Tibetan areas to journalists and other independent observers
- allow independent UN investigation into the events of the last week, including full access to scenes of confrontation, eye-witnesses, and detainees, and allow similar access to independent observers, including journalists and human rights NGOs.

Here is the address for a petition you can sign that will go to the Chinese government calling for not violence; I just received it recently
I don't think chinese government shall pay any attention to such appeals by individuals.Influential governments of powerful countries should make diplomatic efforts to convince or pressurize chinese government. This is incidence of human right violation similar to Iraq, Afganistan and some other countries. Unfortunate thing is that poor people of Tibet neither has many natural resources nor they are economically or politically sound.
I think premsingh is right, I don't think appeals will carry any weight with the Chinese.
Monks and violence, what a sad combination. It makes me mad that anyone would be so brutal with such a peaceful order. Perhaps the earthquake will get all the soldiers called back to where they came from and leave the poor monks alone.
I'm neither a monk nor a Buddhist, but I very much like the Dhali Llama. For Pete's sake, why can't one sect leave the other alone and in peace.
I agree with Premsingh and Shirley Anderson that the Chinese government is a huge monolith, and that it will be difficult to influence them. However, every voice counts, and I would suggest clicking on the links above to see how you can add yours.
You may find an article that appeared in the New York Times interesting:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/22/world … p;emc=eta1
Guru-C -
Well done for raising the issue here. I've been watching the coverage of the unrest on Chinese CCTV4, where, of course, the slant is very different. The problem the 'free' world has in making representations to the Chinese government on Tibet's behalf is that our own credibility is at a pretty low ebb in regard to human rights and respect of sovereignty. Nevertheless, individuals can make a difference, even to China. Remember Tiananmen Square?
Hello Paraglider,
I'm sorry it's taken me this long to respond. Thank you so much for your comments. It's so true what you say, individuals can make a difference. Look at Gandhi or Martin Luther King.
Right now there's an objective to send 2 million signatures to the Chinese government. Even if there's a remote possibility that they will take positive action, it's worth the attempt.
Best Regards,
PS: How's the baby in your family? I hope very happy.
Maybe I am missing something here, and I am sure I am, but I thought that being a Buddhist monk was about non attatchment, from things, and the world?
Tibet is a tiny, poor country being ruled over by a large country who are prepared to use whatever force and violence are necessary to keep the country under control. The larger world powers like Russia, don't care, and the USA can't say a damn thing after the Iraq fiasco. Essentially, Tibet is screwed and everyone knows it. China is a major power, and nobody has the inclination or the nous to really stand up to them. They could gas the whole of Tibet tomorrow and I doubt they would suffer any ill effect on a global scale. The yuan is supporting the US economy, and China makes for a huge part of the world's food production as well.
In spite of an atrocious human rights record, China was awarded the Olympics Games. Let's face it, the powerful majority of the world has spoken on the China issue, and they've resoundingly said that they don't care what China does to its own citizens, or to Tibetans.
But why are Buddhist monks getting involved in something so very obviously worldy, after all, this is about politics and borders, neither of which matter a whit on a spiritual plane. I understood a monk's role to be a spiritual one, focused on living in the present with what one has, rather than inciting protest. Those things seem very separate from discovering inner peace.
(I'm not supporting what China is doing in any sense, or saying that the Buddhist monks shouldn't protest, I just wonder why it is that these people hopelessly make trouble for themselves, and seem to take themselves away from their spiritual goals.)
Dear Hope:
I feel your heart is in the right place, and agree that the world has already weighed in. The reason, I think, Tibetan Buddhist monks have taken to protesting, is that through the years into the present, innumerable monks and nuns have been harassed, imprisoned, tortured and executed for expressing their views. Remember, it is a capital crime in Tibet to own a photo of the Dalai Lama.
Also, Tibetan monks tend to not be as removed from the world as one might think. Many of them are asked to go out into the world and engage in commerce to help support the monastery. It is the monks' and nuns' families and the monks themselves who help pay for the monasteries' subsistence, as well as sponsors. There is no actual institution that supports the monasteries. So while they are not of the world, they are in the world.
I think that even though it is a very daunting task, every individual can help by adding one's name to the lists of protesters.
I hope this helps.
Hope Alexander, I think you've raised a good point, and it's one I wondered about it when I first heard the news. I think that their protest arose because of the Chinese denouncing the Dahli Llama.
Still, it was a bit of a surprise. Perhaps not peaceful demonstration, but the ensueing violence.
Thanks for your reply Guru-C, I find this situation, and others like it incredibly disheartening, and to be honest, a clear sign that either A) Democracy doesn't work, or B) Humans are inherently evil. For no major country, or indeed, the citizens of China themselves, feel inclined to do anything about what is happening to the Tibetans. Sure, there are protests, I remember there being protests about this very issue 10 years ago. In that time absolutely nothing has changed, in fact, things only seem to be getting worse.
We might care a little, but we don't care enough to actually do anything to stop the multitude of known human rights travesties going on across the world. You would think that people would be outraged and put an immediate end to terrorism, torture, and repression, but we don't. Evidently there is some element of the human psyche that supports these things.
I don't think that writing to the Chinese will help. I think that ceasing to buy the products they are churning out at such a massive rate would work though, because it would cripple their economy. That's the sort of action that could be taken en masse at an individual level, or in the form of a trade embargo at a governmental level. But instead, we will all continue to buy the products that support these evil practices, and our governments will continue to broker trade deals.
We're all just too damn selfish to really care.
(Well maybe not ALL of us technically, but enough of us are that those that aren't are probably statistically irrelevant anyway.)
Dear Hope,
So much of what you say resonates about the need to do more to promote human rights. And you are right, boycotting their exports may be a step in the right direction. The only thing I fear there is that China is such an economic superpower, I don't have the mathematical mind to figure out the impact in either direction. I certainly try not to consume any products that were produced in inhumane conditions.
I don't really think democracy is the problem here :
The most immediate possibility is to boycott the 2008 summer Olympics in every way possible and to sign the petitions, make the phone calls to our representatives, send the letters to the Chinese government officials, attend the candle light vigils. If we would share the links above with everyone on our mailing lists, and urged our friends to do the same, our politicians would here the roar of people who care.
People here may find it heartening that there are politicians holding office who have spoken out against the actions of the government of China toward Tibet. I received a press release today that was issued by the office of Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ross-Lehtinen:
Ros-Lehtinen Condemns Beijing's Policies in Tibet
Critical of removal from U.S. list of countries with major human rights concerns;
Warns of potential for Beijing's repression of rights advocates during Olympics
(WASHINGTON) – U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said today that China's violent crackdown in Tibet is a clear indication that the State Department acted prematurely last week in removing China from the list of nations with major human rights issues. In a March 10th letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Ros-Lehtinen raised concerns about the continuing crackdown on the rights of Tibetan and Uighur minorities. She also cautioned that attempts by Chinese officials to silence advocates of democracy and human rights, as well as critics of the regime, during the August Olympic games in Beijing could lead to the arrest and mistreatment of American citizens. Statement of Ros-Lehtinen:
The failure of Beijing's policies has led to the violence we now see on the streets of Lhasa, and the people of Tibet are paying a terrible price.
Clearly the State Department's decision to remove China from the list of countries with which we have major concerns about human rights was hasty and ill-considered and should be reversed.
Americans are very concerned about human rights abuses throughout all of China, including the suppression of the Falun Gong and every form of political dissent. Beijing's steadfast support for the murderous regimes in Sudan, Burma and North Korea further demonstrates its callous disregard for basic human rights.
Beijing is attempting to use the Olympic games to hide its repressive policies. Responsible nations must not buy into this façade. Protests by human rights activists and others during the games are likely to result in a crackdown similar to that we are witnessing in Tibet. The gleam is already off the Olympic gold which Beijing so desperately seeks.
My comment about people either being evil, or democracy not working was meant to imply that either the people of the nations of the world don't give a damn about tyranny going on elsewhere, and are therefore complicit in the evils that go on... or the system of democracy has failed these people, and their views are not being represented and acted upon.
Today I received a link to a video of two New York City cops beating up a Tibetan protester in front of the United Nations. The protester was merely holding up a Tibetan flag. It makes me feel ashamed that police brutality would occur in a city as sophisticated as New York.
If you'd like to view the video to see for yourself, it's at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7NUNwq2 … ture=email
While you're here, please, please click on the link in the first posting of this thread to add your signature to the petition to the Chinese Government to end the violence towards the Tibetan people. Thank you.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors swingman Mickael Pietrus is expected to miss up to four weeks with a sprained ligament in his right knee.
Pietrus was injured late in the first half of a 100-97 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night and left the arena on crutches, saying he expected to be sidelined 2-to-6 weeks.
He was examined Tuesday by team orthopedist John Belzer and underwent an MRI exam that revealed a sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his knee. He has begun the rehabilitation process.
Pietrus is averaging 10.5 points and 2.8 rebounds playing just more than 22 minutes per game.

Local is a likeable place. The people who work here like it so much they can barely contain their enthusiasm. There are lots of exclamations! On the wine list! And the blackboard! The earnest energy and post-pretentious attitude – down to the name – belies the finely tuned offerings: scratch food so close to the heart, they wouldn't dream of writing "homemade" on the chalkboard.
