These are great labels, now I can tell what I have in my freezer containers. I make a lot of soups,chicken & meat dishes and put them in my upright freezer. In the past I have defrosted the wrong item-but it was okay. Better to have labels on the containers and these are great M. Dame Danvers MA

By Gadget Shopper

I love these labels! They really do work! I use them for all kinds of labeling, not just for the freezer. They adhere best if the item you place it on is nice and dry. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Love these labels
By Cheryl
I cannot live without these labels. I used them for Tupperware containers going into the refrigerator. I keep a strip of about 10 blank labels on the refrigerator door so they are handy.
By plk

I was so tired of tearing off masking tape to label my freezer foods. This is just perfect!

By Mary

I was glad to find a label designed for use in the freezer. Labels at the store were either too big or too small.

handy and helpful
By Jan
from Archbald, PA.
I bought these labels because I was tired of searching for paper and scotch tape to put on my containers of leftovers. These labels work great and are a good size for all containers. No more wondering when I last used the leftover spaghetti sauce, gravy etc. I just pull out a label, stick it on and write the date or whatever on it.
Love them
By vikki
from Maple Grove, MN
Used to label frozen foods, individual labels, just pull of the roll and use. Easy! Easy to store.
very very nice!
By jerseygirl
from NJ
Just what I needed - labels for food in fridge and freezer. They stay on and you can write on them with many types of pens / sharpies / etc. Easy to use 2 if you need more space, but 1 is often enough, without being too big to overwhelm the container / lid. Fair price for a basic product that serves a simple purpose.
By Hannahay
from Myrtle Beach, SC
I've used these labels for years and just reordered them. So of course that means I liked them.
Great money saver, and convenience
By CK
from Buffalo, New York
These labels are easy to use and functional . Any pen or marker can be used to clearly label frozen foods. The size of the label is just perfect. They stay in place and do not peel off.This product makes it easy for me to find items in the freezer, to easily Identify the contents and know exactly when the product was frozen. These labels have saved me time and money. I would definitely recommend them to others , who want to do the same.

Best frezer labels available
By helpsrunner
from Cincinnati, OH
These labels stick on almost anything and last as long as frozen items are kept in the freezer. I bend a corner under and it facilitates removal without sacrificing too much writing surface. Even when not using it on items stored in the freezer they come off clean 90% of the time. If they are removed immediately upon removal from the freezer, they always come off clean.
Best labels I have ever purchased
By mariposa
The labels do not come apart in the frig or freezer. They retain the writing on them. They are easy to peel off and paste to any surface.

A look at how the former EastEnders star - and others - went from minted to bust
Former EastEnders favourite Martine McCutcheon has been declared bankrupt.
The 36-year-old actress, singer and author, who reportedly earned up to £250,000 a year, has petitioned for bankruptcy at Kingston-Upon-Thames County Court.
Audit firm KPMG has been brought in as McCutcheon's trustee, with her discharge from bankruptcy set for January next year.
"We are now responsible for administering her estate and are in the process of establishing the individual's assets and liabilities; the largest creditor being Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs," KPMG said in a statement.
The star's bankruptcy is all the more remarkable given how successful she has been on numerous fronts: McCutcheon's debut single, Perfect Moment, topped the charts in five countries, while her book, The Mistress, became a top 10 bestseller.
The multi-talented star has thanked her fans for all their support since making the announcement earlier today.
McCutcheon's financial downfall is by no means uncommon among celebrities. Scroll through our gallery to find out which other stars have filed for bankruptcy in the past.

The bigger story "Jonny MSN" is that decent folk are completely skint and struggling unlike the bankers and our "beloved" MP's on both sides of the house. I lost my job because of the thieving treachery of the last govt and the self serving treachery of our present govt. These people at the top have treated the common man with absolute contempt for too long, its time for a shift in power - from the haves to the have nots!!!!
What riles me just as much is the false idol worship we give to useless prats, ie those our media calls "Celebrities". We as a nation have worshipped too long at the alter of celebrity. Just seeing the trailer for the National Television Awards makes me want to vomit, why the hell should we applaud people who can act or sing and even some who can't act or sing. What about giving our £1.50 per text vote money to our local homeless shelter or our £1.00 a minute telephone vote money to the person who wants to establish a worthy charity that benefits those affected by child abuse or domestic violence etc...

As for idiotic tv presenters who squander there wealth, I DON'T GIVE A TOSS !!!!!
So... judging by the comments below - which any sane person should totally agree with - what I cannot understand is the menatlity of anyone giving it a thumbs down? What thought process leads you to believe that you should have even a grain of sympathy for these people?
Hmm.. I have lots of money - if I spend it (and indeed by extension spend beyond my means) - than A) it will be all gone B) I will be in debt .... logic would dictate then you should be a little thoughtful about what you spend. And frankly, I'm sorry, but a television personality adds little or no value to my life. My missus is a cardiac nurse, she brings people back from the brink of death on a regular basis, cleans sh1t everyday etc - these people should be paid the millions for the miracles they perform everyday. What a backward world.
I really feel sorry for selfish people who are paid vast amounts for very little work. They really don't know the meaning of work. To crawl along a track stretching under the dash of the latest car fitting fibre optics, my knees never recovered. You just prey for the end of each back breaking ten hour shift. At the end of each week you open your pay packet to find a large part gone in stoppages, and you look in the mirror to see if you have the word 'Mug' across your forehead.
These 'celebrities' are treated as responsible people and are trusted to put away part of their income to pay their way, why? Everyone should be on P.A.Y.E. or everyone should be 'trusted' and pay the income tax when they feel like it.
It's not fair to have two systems of 'income' taxation, it's a millionaires charter. People will spend the money, go bankrupt, and won't give a sh1t about the rest.
Pay As You Earn for all, and before anyone says it can't be done, they manage it with VAT.
Bankrupt. Tell us another one.
Going bankrupt does not mean your broke, I know a number of people and companies that have gone bankrupt and the owners start another high flying business within six months.
I bet he is not living in a two up two down house on a council estate.....
Having the debt written off is a great feeling, is it not.
Shane hasnt gone bust, his COMPANY has gone bust, and trust me with all those financial people behind him he will still come out on top, has he lost his mansion NO that will be in his wifes name, has he put his name on the local housing list NO, he was trying to make loads more on top of what he already had, er I think its called being greedy. He will still have his luxury holidays, very expensive Xmas's, his wife and kids will not suffer, and just look at the earnings for a few tour dates, not bad, Am I glad i never bought another ticket to go and see them to swell his pockets even more.
Let this be a lesson
What gets forgotten with all these 'celebs' going bankrupt is the people who never got paid for services provided. I don't fret over the Tax man and other preferred creditors, but there are lots of self employed people and small businesses who suffer, often themselves going bankrupt.
The plumber, electrician, gardener and many others finish up having to pay for the greed of these people. In a fair society the small businesses should be paid first rather than the banks and Tax man.

Comments about Melissa & Doug Jumbo Triangular Chalk & Felt Eraser Set:
Chalk does not write well on chalkboard; actually it scratched the chalkboard. This chalk might be okay outside on the sidewalk. We purchased it for our 2 year old due to the triangular design, but we should have just gone with traditional sidewalk chalk.

children in the communities we serve."
Coosa Valley Credit Union also has donation boxes at each branch for anyone who wishes to make a donation of a new unwrapped toy. In 2012, the reins of the Toys for Tots program were turned over to the Exchange Club of Rome.
Heading this project is Exchange member Hal Gosnell who is a retired Marine colonel and also member of the local Marine Corps League.
"We appreciate this and all donations made to Toys for Tots this holiday season," Gosnell said. "It's organizations like Coosa Valley and the companies they serve who truly make a difference in our community."

The ability to fornicate and urinate at the same time. Jimmy had lots of beer, but still wanted to have sex with Shirley, so he underwent his secret pissass technique, relieving himself.
1. | pissass | ||
when you pee in a toilet before shitting. Then, when you do defecate in said toilet the pee water splashes up and smacks your bum. I just peed and shat in that order and got a major case of pissass all up in there, like dayummmm!

When you're so retarded/deformed, you piss out of your ass. OMG Lauren you're such a pissass

DOES YOUR credit card balance keep inching upward? Then before you charge one more thing, you should assess the cost of that debt.
A balance of $5,000 at 15% will cost you $421 in interest if you manage to pay it off within a year. But that requires monthly payments of $451. Reduce your monthly payment to $106, and it will take you six years to pay off that loan. And you'll be forking over $2,633 in interest payments. You've just increased your purchase price by 52%. Did you really need the new couch that badly?
Use our debt payment calculator to figure out the cost of your own debt. It can also help you plan a repayment schedule that will keep the lid on your total interest costs.

Scenes of strife we see from around the world have taken on a set-piece quality, the actors militiamen in ragtag uniforms, the soundtrack long bursts from automatic weapons, the backdrop dull scrub or crumbling concrete.
Car-watchers will have noticed one more regular element. Always, it seems, the camera slides across a compact pickup truck, often with a heavy machine gun or rocket tubes mounted in its bed, and, just as often, TOYOTA emblazoned in large letters on its tailgate.
We've spotted this improvised war wagon in Mogadishu, in Fallujah, in Kabul - and lately in Mali and Algeria.
Like the Willys-designed Jeep of earlier conflicts, Toyota's sturdy truck – sold in most markets as the Hilux, and offered in tougher-yet form as the Land Cruiser 70 Series – has become the combatant's mobile do-it-all platform: nimble, adaptable, reliable.
It's even, in African countries, taken on a new name: the Technical, said to have originated from the "technical assistance grants" with which non-governmental organizations in Somalia hired local security.
The Hilux's star turns on the evening news have registered on Toyota, of course.
I once sat beside a senior executive from the Japanese automaker at a dinner. Toyota, he told me, never intended a military role for its truck, and was hardly about to gloat over its popularity with rebels everywhere.
But still, he admitted - talk about good advertising!
Not that the Hilux or Land Cruiser needed promotion. Even before it began its battlefield appearances, even before Marty McFly ordered Biff to double-wax his 1985 4x4 Xtra Cab in the first "Back to the Future" movie, it had a fervent following. Small trucks in general were big back then (and may they be so again), and Toyota's square-hewn entry topped the segment.
Such was its "you can't kill it" reputation, in fact, the BBC's brash motoring show, Top Gear, set out to test the limits of a 1988 Hilux diesel. In a series of now-famous episodes, Jeremy Clarkson and his fellow hosts ran the truck down steps, set it on fire and submerged it in the sea. After each ordeal, it started. Finally, they lifted the battered Toyota to the roof of a 23-storey apartment block slated for demolition. The Toyota, retrieved from the rubble, needed only some minor tinkering to fire right up. Unkillable, the hosts concluded.
The rebels continue to subject their trucks to tests that involve dust and heat and bullets.
They fear projectiles. When I watch the reports, I fear seeing my old Toyota pickup.
It was a '93, black like Marty Mc-Fly's, with four-wheel-drive and the off-road package's skid plates and big tires and wheels. I bought it used, well-used. The odometer showed 194,000 miles the day I collected it in Binghamton, N.Y.
The truck was built in California - in the first year Toyota entrusted construction of its prize pickup to a plant outside Japan - and delivered new to a dealer in Connecticut. By the time I got it, rust had a firm grip on the bed. I found an uncorroded tailgate on eBay and left on the sticker that said Eddy's Toyota, Wichita.
I kept the truck for years, spinning up many more miles. Its ride was as rigid as a tax audit, but it was ever eager.
And it loved winter. The heater blasted hot air and the tires churned through slush like a combine through a corn field. In the great snowfalls of March 2008, it was the only vehicle on my street that moved.
When it came time to sell the Toyota, two emigrants from the Democratic Republic of Congo responded to my ad. They said they wanted to ship it to their homeland, where such trucks were in great demand.
Carefully, I asked what use the truck would be put to in Congo, then as now a deeply troubled place. It would go to a coffee plantation, they said.
We made the deal. The day before this much-travelled truck was to set out on still another journey, I printed off a photo I'd taken of the Toyota half-buried in snow, wrote "Ottawa, Canada, 2008" across the bottom and tucked the print far up beneath the dashboard.
I'm not sure why I did this. Maybe just to surprise and amuse the mechanic who eventually comes upon it in a country that straddles the equator. Or maybe I meant it as a talisman, something to attest that this truck had already fought the battles of winter, and should have no further place in war.

NEWTOWN — Newtown's Board of Selectmen took steps Tuesday night to receive a $500,000 state grant to blunt the economic impacts to businesses that suffered following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings as national media poured into town — and in some cases access was cut off.
The grants will reimburse Sandy Hook-area businesses for their actual losses as a result of road closures and heavy traffic in the wake of the shootings, which made Newtown and Sandy Hook world news and ranks as the second worst school shooting incident ever.
Meanwhile, First Selectwoman Patricia Llodra announced that the town now has completed the weighty task of sorting through 125,000 pieces of mail from all over the world and has begun displaying giant cards, artwork and other items in the halls of Town Hall.
"Our commitment from the start was to honor every piece," she said.
For a one-week period beginning Sunday, families of the Sandy Hook victims will be able to designate any items they might want to keep from the collection, Llodra said.
For a week after that period, other students and staff from the school will have the same opportunity — and, finally, a week after that, members of the general public will be able to designate items they would like to keep, she said.
At that point, whatever is left will be removed to eventually be ground into "sacred soil" to be used in future memorials to the 20 children and six adults slain in the Dec. 14, 2012, shootings at the school, Llodra said.
Much of the art will be catalogued and documented first, she said.
The town also has 45,000 stuffed animals and many other toys, including bicycles, skateboards and other equipment, that arrived in the wake of the tragedy and are being stored in the town's public works garage.
Town officials also have been asking families of the victims if there are any particular organizations to which they want to donate toys and other items. Continued...
The first family to respond, that of slain first-grader James Mattioli, 6, asked that a portion of the toys be donated to the Yale-New Haven Hospital Auxiliary Toy Closet, Llodra said.
"It's our intention that every item be donated" to an organization that can make appropriate use of it, she said.
Llodra and selectmen James Gaston and William Rodgers voted unanimously to authorize Llodra to accept the Sandy Hook grant, which is under the state's Small Town Economic Assistance Program, or STEAP, on behalf of the town.
The vote came after a short discussion with Donald Sharpe, chairman of the Economic Development Commission. Sharpe, a longtime Sandy Hook resident, is the onetime editor of the New Haven Register, among other things.
Sharpe told the board that "as of this day, we have about 15 applications for relief" from businesses that suffered losses.
A committee appointed a couple of weeks ago, which includes present and former EDC members, is going over applications as they come in, Sharpe said.
Business have until Feb. 15 to apply, he said. The money will be disbursed "and we hope to do it in an expeditious fashion," Sharpe said, estimated that it should be distributed within "the next month or so.
"We want to identify the most needy" and "can prioritize the others later," Sharpe said.
The $500,000 is the maximum available under the state's STEAP program, said Llodra, thanking Gov. Dannel Malloy and the legislatures for moving so quickly.

Tanja Vujasinović
finalist The OHO Award , 2009
My recent works offer complex narratives of psycho-social reflections of collective frustrations and memories. I'm trying to point to memories of universal experience, which we all, consciously or unconsciously, pass through. Creating intimate, often hypnotic atmosphere, the viewers' engagement is subtly required through consciousness and recognition of own experience in the exhibited one. The works are small intimate debates which draw the viewer into self-reflection. The works The stolen work and The broken object are contemplating about socially not acceptable, but strongly tempting actions of breaking and stealing, Further more, the work is about quilt, as a consequence that these experiences awoke. Beatification remindes us of our personal sins of hypocrisy, while the video Award deals with differrent possible ways of how to bear the universal frustration of failure. The works are strongly related to the viewer. They require involvement through recognition. As I am a sculptor, object is one of the substantial elements of interaction. Through latent action I am putting an object into relation to the body. The choice of form, material, size or display of an object tempts us to interaction. The handle that lead us to touching or destruction (The broken object), the tiny Venus we all want to own (The stolen work) or a device under which we can become a part of the installation (Beatification). Object forces a spectator to question himself in relation to the concept. The process is inseparable from the object. An action becomes the creation and the result.

Luxray Ability: Rivalry Nature: Timid (+speed-attack) EV: 252 sp attack/108 attack/148 speed Item: Air Balloon Moves: Rain Dance Thunder Double Kick Signal Beam
Any advice would be greatly appreciated This is my last team btw, so you can at least say if I'm going in the right direction http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/rmt/17479/new-and-very-slightly-improved-team-but-still-need-lot-advice
Utility Pokemon. Use the most of what it has to offer, and why did you choose Timid as its nature when you gave it a physical move, Rock Blast? Item: Black Sludge Ability: Aftermath Nature: Bold EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Speed * Toxic Spikes * Spikes * Clear Smog * Giga Drain
Item: Black Sludge Ability: Levitate Nature: Bold EVs: 252 HP, 200 Sp. Atk, 56 Def * Will-O-Wisp * Pain Split * Sludge Bomb * Clear Smog/ Thunderbolt
After Garbodor's finished with its entry hazards, Weezing can act as a physical wall. Will-O-Wisp to decrease attack, Clear Smog to deal with calm mind/ swords dance stallers.
Your EVs make no sense. If you're giving it a Guts Burn set, then why did you put EVs in special attack? Guts does nothing to that stat, and you have no special attack moves. Also, Ursaring has a depressingly slow speed, so it needs to sweep before it's swept. Investing EVs in Defence is a waste of time; you need to maximise its speed. Item: Toxic Orb Ability: Quick Feet Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP * Facade * Crunch * Close Combat * Protect
Protect is there to make sure Toxic Orb activates, in case your opponent has Will-O-Wisp. Quick Feet is the ability I chose because Ursaring has a really slow speed for a powerful sweeper (and bad defences too). If you want, you can give it Guts instead, but it's liable to KO'd before it can do anything with its speed.
Shell Bell is a relatively useless item. You also don't need Rock Polish and Flame Charge on the same set; you either go for quick speed boost or speed boost + damage. Item: Life Orb Ability: Solid Rock Nature: Modest EVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HP * Rock Polish * Fire Blast/ Flamethrower * Earth Power * HP Ice
I would actually go for Flamethrower over Fire Blast, since it's 100% accuracy vs. 85%, but if you want to take the chance and go for the higher base power, then it's your choice.
Item: Sharp Beak Ability: Early Bird Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 Def * Roost * Brave Bird * Return * Quick Attack
Standard sweeper set.
Rivalry is a rubbish ability, considering that Luxray has two other abilities that are much better for a sweeper. In the even that your opponent is the opposite gender, your attack will drop by 25%. Luxray has a significantly high Attack state which means its special attack is something that is not as useful in comparison. Luxray is too frail to set up Rain Dance, and its aim is to sweep ASAP. Item: Choice Scarf Ability: Intimidate Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 Def * Wild Charge * Crunch * Ice Fang * Superpower
Basically, this team aims to sweep as fast as possible. That means you need to maximise speed and attack, forfeiting defences (for most of your Pokemon). After Garbordor sets up entry hazards, follow through to relentless attacking.

Mounting lights on o/s bars
Hey everyone,
I've got some lights from Revolution, but having difficultly mounting the front one. The bars have an oversize centre section (which is covered by the stem clamp), then tapers over the course of maybe two inches where it meets the bar tape.
I can't mount it on the taper because it won't sit securely, the bar tape is too thick for it to sit over that, and the clamp cannot be turned 90 degree, so it can't go on the stem.
Is it possible to buy an internally-tapered shim that will give the handlebar section a uniform thickness? Any other solution?
Battery Leak
Two of my favourite bike lights got spoilt recently with battery leaks (stocked with that white salt-like deposit inside).
Any tips on how to clean that recover that white residue and recover the lights? Or are they gone for good?
Exposure Strada Mk4 front light
The Exposure Strada Mk4 might not be cheap but it's an exceptional light for riding unlit roads.
I reviewed the Strada Mk3 last year and got on really well with it. This time around, Exposure have increased the battery capacity and the brightness, and they've also added a new program selector (more on that in a mo).
Electron Mili USB Rechargable LED lights set
Lookie-likie stuff is one of my guilty pleasures, so it should come as little surprise that I got quite excited by the Electron Mili USB Rechargable LED lights set twin pack. However, while a pretty good marriage of form and function, in my opinion their quirky looking Pico cousins make better choices when negotiating unlit roads.
Lifeline LED safety light (front/rear)
At just under a tenner you'd expect the Lifeline LED safety light to be a cheap blinky for being seen around town. It's much more than that: it's a well built and genuinely capable standalone light for city riding. It's even bright enough - just - to venture beyond the streetlights.
The body of the Lifeline is a two-piece alloy affair with a tight thread and an o-ring seal holding two 2032 button cells, and the LED is housed in a proper reflector behind a good quality lens.
Electron Pico Super 2 front light
The Electron Pico Super 2 front light is incredibly bright at the price and size, and as for battery, gives an impressive 117 hours in flashing mode. My only minor niggle was the sensitive switch.
It's a super bright, single watt design, identical to its equally potent rear sibling right down to clothing clip and resin mounting bracket, that seems strong, although the screws seemed likely to round off without taking care.

Gorge Meal!
We scored a whole hog for free this week. Decided to feed it all in one sitting as a gorge meal. The dogs are all fat, happy and passed out.
Why feed a whole hog at once? Gorge meals are a normal thing for wolves, dogs. Their lives revolve around finding food. Either they find a carcass or they make a fresh meal but either way they eat as much as they can in one sitting because they have no idea when their next meal will come. Obviously our dogs at home know when their next meal is coming, and so do we. So, why do a gorge meals? For several reasons.
First, feeding a meal like this gives our dogs the opportunity to really get a mentally stimulating experience. It takes a lot more mental work for a dog to rip and tear meat off, crunch through bones of this kind of source. The enjoyment alone we watch from our dogs eating is reinforcing enough to do it again.
Second, it allows us to feed large meals to our big dogs. It saves us a lot of work with breaking down a whole hog, just let the dogs do the work!
Third, it may or may not provide any health benefits. There is no research, anecdotal or scientific, stating one way or the other. Many raw feeders do this and it works well for their dogs.
Gorging and fasting should not be attempted by the novice raw feeder. I highly suggest that only dogs who have been raw feeding for a few years do this. It takes some time and conditioning to get a dog's system capable of handling such a large meal. This can be achieved by gradually increasing the size of a meal once every 2 weeks, and then increasing the space between the larger meal and their next meal. Puppies weaned to or switched to raw feeding early are better equipped to handle gorging and fasting sooner, but I don't suggest doing it until the puppy is at least 6 months old, unless its a toy/small breed who may never be able to handle a true gorge/fast meal even as an adult. Toy or small breeds who are prone to hypoglycemia should never be fasted for long periods of time, so true gorge/fast meals may never be done with these dogs. Just proceed with caution and always supervise any feeding of any kind with a scrupulous eye!
Our dogs pictured below have been raw feeding for at least 2 years, the exceptions being two Great Dane puppies, 8 and 10 months old. All of them have been conditioned to gorge meals and handle them well!
Picture time….enjoy!

By Andrew Billo, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Andrew Billo is an assistant director with the Asia Society in New York. The views expressed are his own.
Last week, the Philippines sought to increase pressure on China over its claims in the South China Sea by filing a legal claim against the country under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Seas. While unprecedented, the Philippines knows that it cannot afford derailing the economic relationship with its third largest trading partner, China, and a verdict -- to be issued several years down the line -- will ultimately be unenforceable.
Why, then, would the Philippines take this action now, given the irritation it might cause China, risks to economic relations, and the likely minimal impact it will have on altering China's behavior?
One overarching reason is that in Asia, international relations, at least in the political sphere, are dictated largely by domestic affairs. The legacy of colonialism, and its associated web of international alliances, means that East Asian countries often distrust their neighbors and global powers as well. Distrust has created insular and highly nationalistic policies, a convenient tool for governments wishing to pin domestic governance and economic challenges on the legacy of foreign oppression.
The South China Sea is an ideal distraction from the domestic challenges of Asian countries. The territory is believed to hold significant energy resources, but how much is unknown. At present, countries in the region are sufficiently resourced to maintain their (slowing as they may be) growth trajectories. If domestic energy sources dry up, the challenge of maintaining peace will be even greater.
But the international news media is prematurely hyping the disputes and highlighting the verbal barbs being traded between countries at all levels. It's true, as The Economist pointed out this past week, that a clash over territory would "imperil the region's peace and its momentous economic advances." But this isn't going to happen, at least not yet.
More from GPS: Why Asia is arguing over its islands
Risking a conflict over the South China Sea area -- and the coinciding economic collapse -- would pose a greater risk for domestic political leadership, and so naval vessels and troops remain largely stationed at home.
So while a statement released by the Philippines read, "One cannot put a price in the concerted effort of the Filipino people and government in defending our patrimony, territory, national interest and national honor," the country would be misguided in pursuing anything more than legal action.

The rivals clash in Rome on Sunday week with the Azzurri hoping to repeat their shock 22-21 victory over Les Bleus of two years ago.
While Parisse was impressed with England's triumph over New Zealand last month, he insists France's spontaneity marks them out as superior.
"Definitely I believe France are the favourites. They make good decisions," he said.
"England beat the best team in the world in the autumn so everyone expects them to dominate the Six Nations. They are very structured and try to dominate the opposition physically.
"Against New Zealand they showed some interesting things, but they don't have the capacity to adapt their game like the French.
"Everything is well organised with France, but their players have the liberty to adapt and they are the best at doing that.
"England are more structured and follow instructions. They find it harder to adapt than France. But they are still one of the best teams in the world."
Odd years offer Italy's best chance of finishing outside the bottom two places of the Six Nations table that has been their perennial home since joining the competition in 2003 as three of their matches will be staged at home.
France, Wales and Ireland visit Rome over the next two months and Parisse insists their ambition must extend beyond being gallant losers.
"It's no long enough for us to play well, to be improving and be involved in good matches," he said,
"The gap between us and the other teams is closing, but for the credibility of the team we need results.
"We've been improving since we've been in the Six Nations and this year because we have three games we hope to do well.
"We don't have fear of any team in the Six Nations and we want to confirm our progression by winning matches."

London blitz
Just Possibly The Most Crucial Year In Modern History.
It's the year most of the country has been waiting for. Ever since it realized it had elected a monster president and a ravenous horde of Marxists intent on institutionalizing European style (or worse) socialism in this country. It's highly probable that 2012 will be one of those 'pivotal' years that historians glory over… after the fact. Problem with that is that we are the facts. And 2012 is a slate yet to be written on.
The world is an increasingly dangerous place and, under President Barack Hussein Obama, even more so for America. This is a man who identifies more with the stated enemies of this Republic than with American citizens.
Those who read my columns will remember that in my business one can put in an outrageous number of hours, which can result in precluding my writing. No, it's not because I can't write when I'm dog tired. It's more because I don't have time to do the requisite research.
Dee, the very efficient editor of this little shooting match, can't do it for me. She is just about maxed out too… which would explain why we haven't seen an article from her in a while. She's a pretty good writer in her own right.
Regular readers will remember my (former) IDF buddy, Jackie. He just returned from a couple of weeks in Israel. We both work for the same company and I was talking to him out of earshot of any staff. We were talking about Israel. So, you say, what's the big deal? You've talked to him before. Prying information out of Jackie is like trying to open a giant clam with a pair of chopsticks. We've both watched the Iran/Middle East crisis develop with not a little trepidation. He, because Israel is his home of origin (he has family there). Me, because I've been fascinated by history and the events that shaped history. A life-long avocation that has taught me that history, in many ways, does repeat itself. read more »

CSO GTZ Armed Conflict and Trafficking in Women
Oct 05 2010
Download right click "save as"
Trafficking of women during and after armed conflict is a gender-based human rights violation and criminal activity. Important contributing factors are the economic vulnerability of women, the existence of war and post-war economies built on criminal activities, and the lack of an accountable justice system which leads to impunity of the perpetrators of gender-based violence. For understanding the links between trafficking in women and armed conflict a gendered analysis of conflict and post-conflict rebuilding is useful.
This study is based on the analysis of reports of international governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as newspaper articles and academic publications. In addition, experts and representatives of different NGOs and international organizations were interviewed. More information about human trafficking on the website of GTZ.

POINT PLEASANT — When tourists come to Point Pleasant, local officials want them to take in attractions like the Riverfront Park or the Point Pleasant River Museum — not homes roped off with yellow tape to denote the alleged discovery of meth manufacturing.
"It makes the city look terrible," Mayor Brian Billings said. "We as a council have to do something to clean this up, or they will sit there for years and years."
There are already four homes within the City of Point Pleasant which are sitting empty due to meth manufacturing which allegedly occurred inside.
Sensing the writing on the wall, Point Pleasant City Council has asked City Attorney R.F. Stein to draft an ordinance which will address these types of properties on a local level, should more be discovered. As of right now, the city follows the state law as it pertains to alleged meth manufacturing in homes.
Jeremy Bryant, city inspector, said due to a lack of local legislation, there's really not much the city can do but follow state guidelines. These guidelines include one of two choices for the alleged meth property — clean it up to meet specific standards defined by the state, or tear down the property.
The city doesn't want to alter those two very specific criteria in the state law regarding the cleaning or demolishing of these properties. It does, however, want to add a time frame for just how long those properties can sit empty without one of those two options taking place.
Billings said council has discussed adding a 30 to 45 day time frame to the possible ordinance. Billings said it was his understanding at least a draft of the new ordinance could be presented at the next city council meeting.
"I'm sick of it, the citizens are sick of it," Billings said. "We need to quit letting homes sit and speed up the process of taking care of these properties at the owner's expense."
Unfortunately, there's the possibility those alleged meth houses which are already sitting empty, may be exempt from any new ordinance in terms of adhering to a time frame. They could be exempt because at the time they were ordered to be vacated, no local ordinance existed which imposed the time frame. However, those houses are still subject to state law which clearly states the properties must be demolished or cleaned.
If it turns out these existing properties would in effect be "grandfathered in," Billings said this doesn't mean the city will stop trying to get in touch with the owners to put pressure on them to maintain their properties - he said that is already happening. As for any new properties which would be deemed vacated due to meth manufacturing, if the city gets a new ordinance in place it would have a local response to what has become a national epidemic.
According to Bryant, homes which have been vacated due to alleged meth manufacturing can be found on Lincoln Ave., Garfield Ave., Jefferson Ave. and Viand St.
