Friday's Fave Five – Week 12, 2014
It's Friday, so time to share five favourite blessings from the week. If you want to do the same and link up, go to Susanne's at Living to Tell the Story.
ONE. My work helped me get healthcare (although they weren't legally obligated). They did so because they care about me. I am grateful to be part of such a community.
TWO. The past couple of weeks have been full of health tests. It is a blessing to figure out why I have been sooooo tired.
THREE. The tests have revealed (among other things) LOW Vitamin D and HIGH blood sugar (as in diabetes). The low Vitamin D is an easy fix – supplementation.
The high blood sugar is not so easy to fix. I obviously need to overhaul my diet and sedentary lifestyle. I have wanted to do this for a while, but lacked motivation. Now I am MOTIVATED because I do not want to have to go on insulin ( a very real possibility in my case). Nor do I want the compromised health that comes from ignoring diabetes.
FOUR. I have a Blood Glucose Buddy. Every morning I text my BG reading to my buddy and she does the same to me. It is helpful to know that I am not alone in this new way of living.
FIVE. I am still processing this news, but this morning I read from Proverbs 21:31 – "Do your best, prepare for the worst—then trust God to bring victory." I will do my "best" which right now takes up a lot of TIME. I know "soon" I will have my life back and I won't be devoting so much time, energy, money, and thoughts to my health. And I KNOW that God is with me in this and will bring "victory" in whatever manner that looks like.
Your Turn . . . Share in the comments what makes your FAVOURITES list this week?
NOTE to FFF participants – Dealing with the above is why I have been neglectful of visiting y'all on Fridays. I am sure that soon I will get back into my groove especially since I miss the "interaction."
Friday's Fave Five – Week 11, 2014
Time to share some blessings for Friday's Fave Five. Even though Friday has passed, I am going to share and link up with Susanne at Living to Tell the Story. If you've never made a list of your Five Favourite blessings, join us! Writing my list and reading what others wrote always makes me smile.
ONE. Birthday Fun. I celebrated my 56th birthday this week. There have been scattered celebrations all week. It sure is fun to connect with friends during such times especially via Facebook. At my Wednesday night group, we decided to celebrate all the March birthdays.
TWO. Salad Dressing. A few weeks ago Susanne shared a new (to her) salad dressing. She reminded me that there are lots of choices out there, so last week I perused the refrigerated salad dressing section. I bought and LOVE Cotija Cilantro by Litehouse. Since the taste is strong, a little goes a long way. I've had salad three times since buying the bottle.
THREE. New Family and Time at Muir Woods. I had the fun of meeting my daughter-in-law's sister and 11-month-old nephew. They live in Chile but are out here visiting family in VA and CA. We all took a trip to Muir Woods to walk and talk and enjoy the scenery. Now when we "visit" on Facebook, I have a real connection to my new family.
FOUR. Grand Baby Time. Of course it was great to have grand baby time in addition to meeting new family. My delightful (13 month-old) granddaughter is learning sign language. While in her high chair she used the signs for "more," "all done," And "help." Sometimes I am not sure what it is she wants more of since she uses the sign for other things besides food.
FIVE. Easy Pizza. Once a month a group of gals meet because their husbands meet in another home. I don't have a husband but they have made me an honorary member. Some kind of food is made together to encourage and promote cooking skills. This time we made pizza. But this is NOT your ordinary pizza. The "crust" is a tortilla.
Directions. 1. Lay a tortilla on a plate. 2. Scatter some shredded cheese. 3. Top with another tortilla. 4. Put sauce and toppings of choice on top. 5. Transfer to a baking tray. 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. 7. Eat!
NOTE. A couple of gals folded their tortilla in half instead of using 2 whole tortillas. I will do this next time as a whole one is sooooooo filling.
Your Turn . . . Share what made your Blessings List this week?
Friday's Fave Five – Week 10, 2014
I was going to skip Friday's Fave Five this week as it has been a whirlwind of activity. But Then I remembered that I am including the week it is in the title, and I didn't want to miss a week.
Silly, I know.
But it got me to write down my list. So without further ado, here are my week's favourite five things.
ONE. Birds on wires set to music. I saw a photo on Facebook of birds on a wire and I thought, "Cool, my friend Betty is part of FFF." But when I looked at it closer I saw that it was birds on WIRES which were translated into musical notes and then a song. Go here for the song. Go here for the TED talk. It is in Portuguese but you'll be able to understand and I bet appreciate the live music at the end.
TWO. I just discovered magic erasers. How have I not heard of them before? Or more importantly, never used them before. One thing I really appreciate is that they don't have a smell. And their cleaning power is amazing especially since you don't have to use brute force to get things clean!!!
THREE. These magic erasers were used by folks from my Wednesday night group to spring clean our room. We cleaned the tables, chairs, window sills, door knobs, and light switches. Those tables LOOK great now. They were clean enough to eat off – although I am glad we all used plates (when we stopped for some pizza). Because then we would have had to clean them again. I was so surprised that we got the room done in one hour.
FOUR. This past Sunday I gave the message at church. Our senior pastor is in Africa helping with 2 pastors' conferences and a retreat for a health clinic. My title was Follow the Bubble When You Are in Trouble. I talked about the necessity of knowing the Word of God (James 22-25). I am not an enthusiastic up front speaker, but I did okay.
However, I had a blast doing word studies on words from this verse. One small example. The word "hearer" is talking about a person who audits a class. They don't have to do the assignments, take the tests, know the material, or even listen well. We are told to not audit our Christian life but to do the homework with the intention of passing life's tests well. We are told to be disciples not auditors.
I asked 2 ladies (Michelle and Kelly) to share how the Bible has impacted their lives. They both did an amazing job. In a nut shell, Michelle's blood pressure came down and stabilized as a result of regular Bible reading. Kelly found her identity in the Bible and feels connected to the church body.
FIVE. Answered Prayer. One of the things we do in our midweek small group is pray for one person. This week I was convicted that we don't normally share the answers. So we shared some of our answers to prayer on Wednesday after we cleaned the room, had pizza, and before we started our lesson.
• Healing of a baby in utero.
• Fear left. Tangible peace for majour health concerns (2 said this).
• Unity restored between sisters – more than that, there was LAUGHTER again.
• Still here on Earth even though this person has a serious illness (almost 80 years old).
• Someone's personal issue was resolved.
• Strength and several sources of unexpected financial help for one with a serious medical issue.
• Health Insurance.
• 3 new volunteers
Your Turn . . . Share an answered prayer or a Fave. You can do so in the comments. Or write a post and link up to Susanne's blog, Living to Tell the Story.
Friday's Fave Five – Week 9, 2014
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~ Thornton Wilder
This week my heart is conscious and thankful for these 5 treasures also known as Friday's Fave Five. If you'd like to share your list, link up at Living to Tell the Story.
ONE. All Kiddos were in Church on Sunday morning. This counts as a treasure because I see that someday THEY will run the church. And it thrills me when the WHOLE congregation worships together!!! Pastor Mike talked about obeying our parents. Besides giving some great illustrations and teaching on obedience, Pastor Mike answered some of their questions. One question he answered in both services was, "Why is my mom a weirdo?"
TWO. Celebrated a friend's birthday. Pam (the birthday girl) and I ate dinner at a taqueria before going to the movies. We saw Philomena. I didn't think it would be very good. Boy was I surprised. Judi Dench and Steve Coogan did a great acting job. However, like I thought I would be, I was dismayed about the subject matter. Pam is a true treasure of a friend and I am glad we got to spend special time together.
THREE. Knowing the Holy Spirit's roles help me in my prayer life. Last week our small group read and discussed some of the roles of the Holy Spirit. As I read this, it dawned on me that I can use these"jobs" as prayer points for unsaved family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. These treasure tidbits have brought encouragement into my heart. I know that God wants to answer these types of prayers.
The Holy Spirit does the following (and more that I won't list). I can pray that He does the following in the lives I pray for.
- The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin.
- The Holy Spirit calls us to respond.
- The Holy Spirit makes the Bible understandable and helps us accept it as Truth.
- The Holy Spirit helps us to respond affirmatively to the good news of salvation.
FOUR. Sister's birthday: related post: 5 Reasons I Love My Sister. Her birthday was Wednesday, but we will have the waffle ice cream breakfast and then dinner on Saturday. But I wanted to list her THIS week as one of my treasures.
FIVE. I read 2 more books on prayer. I am going to write 26 (short) posts on prayer during April's Blogging to A-Z Challenge. This link is from 2013. I am in research mode. I am learning some things I didn't know before. These treasures are helping move my prayer life to a more satisfactory phase.
Friday's Fave Five – Week 8, 2014
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you"? ~ William Arthur Ward
That is the intent of my participating in the Friday's Fave Five. I recall to mind and print five blessings of the week because I am thankful, to God, for His hand of blessing in my life.
ONE. I Read 2 Books on Prayer. (1) Seven Guides to Effective Prayer by Colin Whittaker. Whittaker told the stories of 7 prayer warriors. (2) Prayer: Life's Limitless Reach by Jack R. Taylor. I NEED to reread this book and copy into a notebook the things I underlined. Many new ideas to think about. My prayer life has been rebooted. I am thankful there are books like these to help me grow in this spiritual discipline.
TWO. I have a new favourite Girl Scout Cookie. It is the Cranberry Citrus Crisp. Awesome. . . . Note to my British friends, this crisp is not a potato chip. It is not a very sweet cookie and goes great with a cup of tea or coffee. And because it isn't very sweet, I don't feel compelled to eat 3 or 9 of them in one sitting. THAT is a blessing and causes me no end of gratitude.
THREE. I Baked an Upside Down Apple Pie. You use 2 deep dish store-bought crusts, of course the requisite apple and spices, and add brown sugar, butter , and nuts under the bottom crust (which turns out to be the top when you flip it).
It was too sweet the first day. But if you let those flavours mingle, on the 2nd day, this pie is a TRUE delight. It is always fun when a new recipe is a keeper.
Soon I will make 2 more pies and give them away as just-because gifts. Here is the link to the recipe.
One caveat: Be careful when you take the pie out of the oven. Some of the apple, butter, and brown sugar mixture oozed onto my pinky and I received a wicked burn.
FOUR. I Used a Motivational Tool to Get A LOT of Work DONE This Week. Mondays are typically low energy days for me at work. I wrote a post on how to have a productive day on those low energy days.
But what do you do when the whole week is a struggle? I played a game. Bingo to be exact. I put all my work items on a BINGO card. I took great pleasure in colouring in the completed squares. Read about how I use BINGO here and here. I am thankful there are ways to trick my brain into having a productive week and enjoying it.
Five. We Celebrated a Niece's 18th birthday. Sushi dinner one night. The ritual waffles and ice cream for breakfast. And then another family dinner with the birthday girl. I am thankful that she is walking God's path for her life. She is also a TRUE delight.
Your Turn . . . Feeling like you'd like to say "Thank you"? Then join us at Susanne's (Living to Tell the Story) to share your post. Or leave a comment here.
Friday's Fave Five – Week 7, 2014
What can I say about this past week's blessings? At first look, our annual women's tea was the only highlight. Mainly because I hurt my back and I spent a lot of time healing. So I'll start with the Tea.
ONE. Annual Women's Missionary Tea. We had 14 tables of 7 women each. Each table had the distinctive flair of the hostess and co-hostess. We were delighted to have Rachel as our speaker. Rachel and her family live abroad overseeing a school that is being built.
Rachel's humour (stand-up comedian funny), passion for loving on others, and an even deeper passion for following God, reminded us of the importance of relationships and what happens when we follow God's leading even when it goes against our comfort zone.
I love how Rachel speaks to God like the Person He is. Her enthusiasm, warmth, and creativity impacted all of us. She gave us M&M's and asked us to pray for Muslim Ministry every time we ate one.
TWO. I discovered a new (to me) show to watch: Sherlock. It was just the thing to watch while I was laid up on the couch doing 'my" winter Olympic sport of "Ice-Heat-Ice." I watched the first two seasons on Amazon Prime (for free). Season 3 is not free. So I did some searching and found a free link. Here is the link to Season 3′s three episodes.
Question. I haven't read any Sherlock Holmes books. In the book is Sherlock as "different and difficult" as he is in the shows?
THREE. We had a Valentine's party at my small group – kiddy style. I like giving and receiving cards and always look at them at the Dollar Store. Last week while getting something else, I paused to look at the kiddy Valentine Cards. They were sooooo fun and cute. So I asked my Wednesday night group (last week), if they were game for having a party and passing out kiddy cards to each other. They were.
In addition to cards, we also had decorations, candy, cookies, brownies, all manner of drinks, and "real" food: foil wrapped chicken, rice, and Asian salad. And we even went over our homework. Great class.
FOUR. I read two youth books: Daniel Boone: Wilderness Scout and Harriet the Spy. While looking for this link, I discovered there is a series involving Harriet the Spy. I remember that this used to be a favourite book of my sister.
I read these two because I am still reading my way through my own book cases and thereby decluttering what I won't keep. Also my brain couldn't do a lot of focusing while I was "mending" my back. This light reading fit the bill.
FIVE. I discovered Instant Brown Rice. Maybe you've already made this before. Or maybe it would never pass your lips. But I was asked to bring rice to accompany the foil wrapped chicken. I did not have the time to go home and make a pot so I bought a box of the instant stuff. I have to say, I was impressed by the flavour. I will definitely make this again especially since I still have 1/3rd of the box left.
As we can both see, I did indeed have 5 blessings from this past week. So glad I took the time to ponder this. Share what your blessing is. To read what others have written, go visit Susanne at Living to Tell the Story.
And to end this, Happy Valentine's Day to all my FFF friends. Your comments and FFF posts have enriched and encouraged me.
I wrote 3 Ways to Encourage Others on Valentine's Day & Year Round. Maybe you'll get another idea that will help you encourage others.
Friday's Fave Five – Week 6, 2014
Friday's Fave Five is a time to reflect on the past week. I looked for blessings that brought me a smile and lifted my spirits. This practice makes me a little more grateful.
To join Susanne and the gang at Living to Tell The Story, go here.
One. New Shoes. Not just one pair, but two. I don't like shopping and so only go when desperate. My left pinky was poking through the shoe, so I think that qualifies as desperate.
I spent my weekend with my East Bay family and somehow I left my new shoes at home. I don't know why I didn't wear my new ones out of the store and leave the old ones in their trash bin.
So I had to go out again and buy another pair. Both were a great price. And now I am set for the year, maybe longer.
Two. Birthday. We celebrated my grand daughter's 1st birthday last weekend. It was fun for my daughter and I to help my dil with food prep and decorating.
Sofia did a great job with all the attention. And she was an equal-opportunity ignorer of the gifts (except for a Weebles person that she carried around).
Her favourite activity was climbing on 2 stacked guitar cases to get to the red chaise lounge. But that's what little kids do, so no one minded.
For tips on making a no-sew fleece blanket, go here.
Three. Tea Magnets. Every year we have an annual women's missionary tea. And every year we give away magnets as a favour. Usually the Women's Ministry Team makes them, but not this year. 7 ladies crocheted and put them together. I will post photos next week.
Four. Rain. Yes, we've gotten a little more rain this week, still not enough. Although I don't prefer it, I am grateful that we will get more rain this weekend. I hope it doesn't impact the attendance at our tea Saturday afternoon.
Five. Gratitude Answer. In this week's Wednesday night small group we had the following question, "How should our belief that Jesus tasted death for us affect the way we live?
My 1st thought was that I should and want to live in gratitude (to Him and for the results of His death) on a consistent basis.
I am sure that my ongoing Friday practice of finding blessings is seeping into my unconscious thoughts and actions.
Your Turn . . . Share one of your gratitudes.


text: Daily Beast on Wendy Davis Flip-Flops: 'Simply Telling the Truth' as 'America's Conscience' Print article Send a Tip by Frances Martel 18 Feb 2014 post a comment Texas Democrat Wendy Davis has split her party in two. In a whirlwind campaign that most recently saw the candidate claim she was open to an abortion ban, the left is struggling to keep up with Davis's evolving definition of herself. The Daily Beast's Keli Goff defends Davis, arguing that she, "America's conscience," is taking a beating for "simply telling the truth." Goff makes two critical points in her quest to defend Davis as a consistent thinker on the issue of abortion: Davis did not contradict herself by recently becoming open to an abortion ban she filibustered because she still opposed that particular bill and that her position is justified because polls show that many Americans feel similarly. This, Goff argues, makes Davis a living testament to the will of the American people on abortion, which is to be "not fully 'pro-choice' or 'pro-life' but if given a say in the matter would probably describe themselves as 'pro-it's-complicated.'" Goff begins her argument suggesting that Davis's stance is so convoluted it managed to get Gawker and Fox News on the same side of an issue. Gawker, indeed, was one of the few left-leaning outlets to attack Davis for telling the Dallas Morning News that she could support a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. (A ban on abortions after 20 weeks, of course, is the content of the bill Davis filibustered last summer that made her gubernatorial candidate material to Democrats.) Goff entirely dismisses the idea that Davis's position is contradictory, even dismissing fellow progressive criticism of Davis. "If Wendy Davis is guilty of any political sin at all it may be committing a small gaffe. And you know what they say in politics: A gaffe is when you accidentally tell the truth," she writes. What that truth is, exactly, is not particularly clear. If it is that "Davis did say that she was open to supporting a ban on abortions after 20 weeks, one of the measures included in the bill she famously filibustered," and that this is consistent with statements Davis has made in the past, Goff is wrong. Goff is wrong here to argue consistency not even because of the content of any statement Davis made preceding the Morning News quote. The day after that interview, Davis went on to "clarify" yet again to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the hypothetical bill she would support banning these abortions was impossible to write and could never exist because she does not believe the state "can appropriately articulate the exceptions in the way that will really be able to capture the decisions and the challenges women face who make a decision post-20 weeks." Goff finds any claim that there was spin to what Davis was saying "silly," in large part also because a series of polls show contradictory views nationwide on abortion. One example she notes is the phenomenon of a significant percentage of self-identified pro-life Americans who also want Roe v. Wade to remain the law of the land. It is true that Americans as a whole have conflicting views on abortion because of the nature of the topic. How this excuses an individual, one who banked her entire political career on having a very clear stance on abortion, from having similar views is another question entirely. Where Davis is "simply telling the truth" on any of this is also a question Goff fails to answer. For one, Davis has only expressed opinions about what she thinks the law should be; she has not even said anything that could be verifiable fact. If Goff means that Davis was merely being honest, she gets more leeway in her assessment. But even then, Davis's "honesty" is to say that she could hypothetically support a bill that could never exist. How is such a statement useful in the least, and how does that make her "America's conscience"? These questions are many of the loopholes supporters face in defending the increasingly incoherent campaign of Wendy Davis--one laden with pitfalls for modern liberals, starting with her new pro-gun stance. Whether Davis will be able to continue her campaign in such a way without losing the complete support of her liberal allies remains to be seen, but she treads on dangerous ground when she plays this fast and loose with issues that impact the left's funding and promotion of her campaign. Clearly, they are running out of ideas to help her.

Luis, Luis, this country, the United States Of America, doesn´t operate like Mexico. You or your family migrated here to live a better life and you and yours are attempting to bring the social, legal, environmental colors of Mexico here. We are a country of LAW! Not the whims of some little man such as yourself making a wish list for a certain part of the population, which you obviously represent.

Liberal Democrats like this Gutierrez have been disparaging, politicizing, and undermining the immigration laws as they know that the liberal Democrat designed amnesty scheme that Obama ordered the Republicans in Congress to pass the other day would not stop future mass uncontrolled illegal immigration, but would legalize it, and eventually would allow the liberal Democrats to register as Democrat voters, the vast majority of those would be legalized aliens, along with an unlimited number of their foreign relatives who would then be allowed into the USA for family reunification purposes. We are talking about the potential tens of millions of new Democrat voters in the years ahead, to transform the USA into a permanent liberal Democrat run socialist utopia.

Luis Gutierrez (D-Mexico City) has a big mouth and a pea brain. He needs to realize this country is a Republic, not a Latin American country run by ex Nazis and Drug Cartels (although Obama isn´t much better). Get a life and shut your pie hole.

#5 and all –- There are a few leaves we could usefully take from Mexico's book. On immigration, for instance. Here Mexican law is remarkably compact and unusually straightforward. It specifices that foreign visitors and immigrants must:- Enter Mexico legally;- Possess the means to sustain themselves economically;- Demonstrate that they will not be burdens on society;- Produce an economic and social benefit to society;- Be of good character and have no criminal record; and- Contribute to the general well-being of the nation.The law also states that:-- Immigration authorities must keep a record of each foreign visitor;- Foreign visitors must not violate their visa status;- Foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country's internal politics;- Foreign visitors are prohibited from purchasing oceanfront property, up to a certain distance inland;- Foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses will be imprisoned or deported;- Foreign visitors who violate the terms of their entry will be imprisoned or deported; and- Any persons who provide aid for the purposes of illegal immigration will be sent to prison.Not that there's a snowball's chance of this (or any) Congress passing any legislation of this stripe. But it would certainly be loverly, wouldn't it.

Jared Diamond is professor of geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed and the widely acclaimed Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, which won him a Pulitzer Prize as well as Britain's 1998 Rhone-Poulenc Science Book Prize.
Diamond is the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (Genius Award); research prizes and grants from the American Physiological Society, National Geographic Society, and Zoological Society of San Diego; and many teaching awards and endowed public lectureships. In addition, he has been elected a member of all three of the leading national scientific/academic honorary societies—National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and American Philosophical Society.
Diamond's field experience includes 22 expeditions to New Guinea and neighboring islands to study ecology and evolution of birds; the rediscovery of New Guinea's long-lost golden fronted bowerbird; and other field projects in North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Crediting the Lips above the title of this album is a bit misleading, because the only song by the band among the twenty on hand is an entertaining cover of the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army." Yet Tales, part of a series issued by Azuli, provides fans with additional insight into the group via its format -- a mix disc compiled by the Flamers, with liner notes by Wayne Coyne, who understands, as did John Cusack's character in High Fidelity, that what music lovers listen to can reveal almost as much about them as what they do or say.
Judging by these tunes, Coyne and company are so cool that refrigerating them would actually cause their temperatures to rise. The CD features typically obscure but consistently fascinating cuts by a genre-busting list of acts: Aphex Twin, Roxy Music, Miles Davis, the Chemical Brothers, Faust. Moreover, the numbers flow together beautifully, proving that stylistic differences crumble in the face of quality sounds and a consistent aesthetic.
It's worth staying up to hear these Late Night Tales.

Latest additions 30/09/14.
The Chairmans statement sounds pretty robust. I believe this I the first time the company has declared its intention to go after the Generals personal assets subject to the Supreme Courts recognition of the UK ruling. Of course it was always assumed that they would but its nice to hear a more aggressive stance.
It is also encouraging that the final written arguments have been submitted. Perhaps Im being a little over optimistic but the tone of the statement suggests we are closing in on a final decision (for better or for worse).
The financials are still concerning and Im not sure we have enough cash to see out the worst case scenario that this may drag on for another two years. Also interesting that the company says it has enough cash for the foreseeable future; this is somewhat different to the statement in June when the company said Pathfinder has sufficient cash to see through its strategy to recover its assets.
I expect to see something from the Generals blog in the next couple of days. Although why he bothers I dont know.
Saw this posted on another Board yesterday and hopefully the poster does not mind me replicating here as I rather agree with the sentiment:- Pathfinder Minerals (the UK listed one, not the false one set up by Cavaco et al in Mozambique in order to trick the Ministry of Mines into transferring the licences away) will legally regain its mining licences within the next 3 months - The Mozambique Supreme Court will recognise the UK High Court ruling and in so doing will enforce the awarded claim of £1.1 million against Cavaco and Veloso. The Ministry of Mines will act in accordance with the ruling, which incidentally is final and cannot be appealed. PFPs lawyers go after all connected parties for substantial damages. The share price immediately rockets ten-fold and levels at 3p awaiting progress to complete the JORC and rallys to 6p shortly thereafter. The mine is sold within a year at 9p prior to a spade being put in the ground. Here endeth A Shareholders Prophesy. So, do you sell at 3p, 6p or 9p?

Not sure this is going to be a quick trade winner as it is unlikely the bid price will climb out of the recent spread range without some clear positive news on the licenses. Dropping out of the range on the other hand is a real possibility as long as there is no such news. One for the brave, but long term significant upside IF the licenses are decided in our favour. Mine are in the bottom draw where they will remain until their fate is decided one way or the other.
What's the spread been like, 25% plus based?

Good luck with that move. I have been sitting here for a while, under water but not by too much, so hopefully we can share in the benefits of some positive news whenever that arrives.

I agree Indy, cash burn is a worry. The last 6 months less is an improvement on the previous; but still too high. My pet hate is BODs who sit around waiting for events to unfold in their favour. I accept there are certain fixed operational costs but that shouldnt stop this board seeking new opportunities to generate cash. Well done to Henry Bellingham if he can get this lot moving.
I see the General has posted another blog. Not much to report other than he seems as determined as ever to take this to the bitter end.
You have a way with words and weighing things up as best you can which happens to be better than I can. You also blend in simple numbers which most of us don't. Dour's philosophy of only putting in money he can afford to completely lose seems sane to me too.
I have not looked at the accounts as I have little incentive to do so partly as they rarely answer my silent questions but the money sure as hell gets spent and is still being spent. (I'm not just thinking of this company nor merely a few others with this comment.)
The cash burn has slowed from levels a layman would deem high but is still not slow (relative to the circumstances) you seem to be saying. There is little visibility between now and the next set of accounts assuming there is much visibility now.
With my view of the small cap end of the mineral sands sector it seems to be as much about the managements as the market/sales prices. I say this with some of what you said in a thread that after this one in mind and my own observations. I hope Iluka eventually end up with Moma and it is them who finally get this hole dug. (There's no solid reason to anticipate the latter anytime soon. Also, more supply is not needed in the foreseeable future I don't believe.)
For now I say again, what a mess and I have similar views to you and Dour on culpability but don't think we'll ever really know.
PS: I won't trade this but does the real spread allow more than a few percentage points of profit when the share moves quickly from three something pence to nearly five ? On one day recently the gap was 40% between high and low but I didn't test the spread within that. That was not the day of the Kenmare rumour.
Yes Dour, Ill admit that the ruling seems strange and I guess this is why the General is digging his heels in as he has chosen to focus on this injustice and not on his repeated deception thereafter. One has to wonder how such a situation could have arisen and to what extent the PFP board is culpable.
Nevertheless the ruling from the English court was unequivocal and because of this, and despite the many other unknowns, the one thing that we can be certain of is that the General has acted improperly. Having said that there is enough uncertainty in my mind to agree with your decision not to throw too much money at this.

Loot, another excellent summary and this was pretty much how I understood it, taken from a company perspective.
So far so good, but I began to doubt the series of events after reading the General's blog last week and I backed out of my plan to buy more PFP.
It does appear the General went along with events and did nothing, however it's the £9.5 million option to buy which still concerns me, I can't understand how PFP or a judge can say £100k counts as a sale with such a sum left outstanding.
Unless I can come up with a grand I could afford to write off I think I'll sit this one out with my current holding.
What can I say Loot, your assessment makes my back of a fag packet guess look like, well....a back of a fag packet guess !!
The operational set up costs would be the fly in the ointment for Iluka or anyone else. Essentially they'd just be buying a licence.
Nice to dream though.

Loot, thank-you for a very interesting series of posts.
I briefly read the FY results on Friday and Im a bit concerned about cash flow.
It appears we have £1.7m in cash as of June 2014, this compares with £2.13m in June 2013. If we consider that we received a VAT rebate of £0.98 in that period this equates to a cash burn of £1.4m in the previous 12 months. In fact operational activities have cost £1.65m in that period. Given that there has been very little legal or operational activity in this period it raises some concern. The only consolation is that the rate of cash burn has slowed in the past 6 months to £0.43m and the board have reiterated their belief that they have enough cash to see out the legal process.
Otherwise there are a number of positives that can be taken from the Chairmans Statement. For the first time we get some indication on how long the Supreme Court ruling may take. Up to two years seems a long time (hopefully sooner) but at least we have some clarity. I am very encouraged to hear that judgment will be passed on the papers i.e. there will be no oral arguments. This should hopefully keep legal costs to a minimum and I would hope that the papers will include judgments made in the English courts as well as court abuses by the General mentioned in both UK and Moz jurisdictions.
The chairman uses an interesting phrase in that he describes the English legal proceedings as an investment he then goes on to raise the possibility of compensation from the General as an alternative to the return of the licences. Clearly a negotiated settlement is still on the cards and if sufficient cash compensation was agreed I for one would not shed a tear in walking away from Mozambique and investing in another part of the world. I believe this is a strong possibility as the Chairman mentions building value in the interim period both at the start of his statement and near the end. For me an alternative strategy is long overdue and I am now very excited that we may be able to build value outside of Africa.
Now is the best time to be looking to acquire mining licences as the sector is heavily discounted at the moment. A company in a similar position to ours is Richland Resources (RLD), a populist Tanzanian government have failed to provide security to the mine workers and are encouraging armed illegal mining to the extent that RLDs negotiations with Tanzania seem to have broken down. The RLD board have recently taken the very wise decision to walk away from the mine and Tanzania. They have paid AUS$1.2m for a sapphire licence in Australia by issuing extra shares and hopefully they can use the cash on their books to build shareholder value.
Another example which Im sure Indy is familiar with is Xtract (XTR) after a number of years of woeful and amateurish management a new board has taken over and purchased revenue generating gold licence in Chile for £1,250,000; again an issue of new shares was required. OK, the revenue generated from the mine is tiny but it pays the bills.
My point is that I see little value in Nick Trew and his team sitting around on their collective a*se waiting on a Supreme Court verdict. The legal case will sort itself out sooner or later for better or for worse so in the meantime for an investment of about £1m lets crack on with something that generates cash. I am still convinced we will get something from the legal case whether its the return of licences or windfall compensation both should add significantly to the bottom line.
Hi Dour, I cant argue with your assessment that the ownership of these licences is rather opaque. It is well worth reading the legal proceedings and even the Generals blog sheds a different light on this complex affair.
When I first researched PFP I didnt invest as I was convinced General had been wronged. Having no legal expertise I tried to view the argument from a moral perspective and this of course is exactly how the General would like to present his case. It was only on reading Justice Fields legal ruling that I realised the full extent of the Generals double dealing.
The Generals argument is factually correct. The original $100K was paid by CMdN (a PFP subsidiary) to the Generals company to secure the rights to an option. The remaining $9.9m deferred payment was never made to the General and so in the Generals mind he has the right to take back the licences as the rightful owner. The only problem is that neither Justice Field nor the appeal court judges saw it that way. Justice Field ruling was based on estoppel by convention meaning that although the original option agreement was indeed based on a deferred payment of $9.9m, this is no longer the case.
Justice Field ruled that the original $100K payment was by way of purchase and sale and that both parties have proceeded on this basis. Had Mr Cavaco or General Veloso not believed this to be the case then they had a legal obligation to raise the issue at an earlier date.
This may sound a little unfair on the General so it is worth going through the series of events between the original option agreement (2005) and the Generals resignation from the board and request of the return of his bearer shares (Nov 2011).
From May 2008 (when the General handed over his bearer shares) to May 2011 the General seems to have been quite happy to accept that PFP was the legal owner of the mining rights. There are numerous emails and documents in which Mr Cavaco (acting on behalf of the General) freely accepts this fact. When the original Option Agreement was superseded by the Novation Agreement in September 2010, no mention was made of the option or of a disagreement on ownership.
If the General believed he was the rightful owner of the licences he did not say so. He was silent when PFP raised money via an IPO on the AIM market. There was no mention of his concerns when £11 million was raised from JP Morgan and Genesis Investments. When PFP spent significant sums on engineering contracts to prepare the site; again the General was silent.
So what happened for the General to suddenly decide that he was in fact the owner of the licences all along? Well it may have had something to do with the URS Scott Wilson report dated May 2011. The General seems to have made his sudden realisation once he heard URS Scott Wilson attributed a Net Present Value to the licences of US$529 million. Within 6 months of that report the General had resigned from the board demanding the return of his bearer shares.
Why wait for 6 months? Well it appears the General and his friends were not idle in that period as the following timeline shows.
Summer 2011 General Veloso tries and fails to remove current BOD of Pathfinder Minerals.
27th Sept 2011 General Veloso establishes Pathfinder Mozambique to transfer ownership of licences.
14th Oct 2011 Tim Horlick, the General and Cavaco establish a Cyprus registered company Grandover Mining then attempt and fail an IPO claiming the disputed licences belong to Grandover.

Hi Dour, Ive shied away from putting a value on PFP for a number of reasons and not just because we cannot, at this point, be sure we legally own the licences.
My main reason is that when I have done a similar exercise in the past Ive got it completely wrong. Not only am I unqualified in the art but I suspect that even those more capable are all too often derailed by unforeseen economic and technical issues; Kenmare being an excellent case in point.
The other reason for not doing so is because of the binary nature of this investment. Ive always accepted the view that we could be wiped out overnight while on the other hand a win against the General (even a negotiated settlement) would more than repay our patience
Nevertheless, as you and Indy have pointed out, with Iluka on the acquisition trail now is as good a time as any to indulge our fantasies and throw a few numbers down. If nothing else it may stimulate some debate so heres my two cents
Im going to base my valuation on the 2011 scoping study carried out by URS Scott Wilson Ltd. For Kenmare I shall use the figures on their website.
Resources excluding Reserves (tonnes): Pathfinder (Kenmare)
Ilmenite: 67m (170m) Zircon: 3.4m (12m) Rutile: 1.3m (3.9m)
Annual Production (tonnes): Pathfinder Estimated (Kenmare 2013 Actual)
Ilmenite: 1.245m (0.721m) Zircon: 0.065m (0.314m) Rutile: 0.024m
Long term holders of Kenmare will be aware of the many infrastructure issues which have impacted their annual production figures and while it is easy for Pathfinder to estimate trouble free production, Im going to assume annual production will probably match Kenmare. Im also assuming operational costs similar to Kenmare as this makes it easy to say all things are equal bar the resources. On this basis I value an operational Pathfinder at about one third the value of Kenmare.
If Iluka value KMR at about 17p per share, thats just shy of £480m for the company. A fully operational Pathfinder could therefore fetch £160m or 15p per share. If all legal issues were sorted tomorrow it may then take another 6 years to become operational. Assuming 5% p.a. inflation on mineral sands commodity prices gives us a NPV of about 11p per share.
Sounds great, but the key word here is operational which of course PFP isnt. Besides the legal wrangling additional funds would be required and this would result in some dilution.

* The Campaign is specialized among the investing fraternity only. The population as a whole would hardly vote for a ban on shorting...most people have never heard of it, have they?
Whereas, the other Govt epetitions command votes from the *general population..and if you check, NONE are doing better than a handful of votes !
Deramping SHORTERS !
Shorting a rising stock....is much worse when it is done by your resident posters that seemingly are your buddies and convince 'long' holders to give up!
What many pi's fail to grasp is the extent that shorting is taking place. Often we tend to think that the 'shorter' is gone, 'he' is out of the way? You'd be wrong in most cases, for ( he ), the shorter, is often joined by others that keep the stock down !
Some stocks fall after GOOD NEWS!
The main reason for many pi's selling, is they are afraid they'll be left in losses AND because they FEAR shorters !
Consolidating shares often sees the sp fall as the *multi-bagger potential is greatly reduced. Shorters know this and will take full advantage to get 'longs' to give up and sell !
BUT, where does that leave the genuine investor that has put stocks into their pension funds?...holding losses again!
* Once pi's know the stock is being shorted...they'll SELL UP IN THEIR DROVES !
We can't both WIN !
The 'shorts' therefore 'win' their bets, whereas the 'longs' lose the best part of their investment, possibly for some time to come......and just when you thought this couldn't go any lower, THEY'LL SHORT THE STOCK AGAIN !
* Thanks for all your support. We are now heading towards 5,000 votes!
* Investors are saying something? They are voting in their hundreds !
# The big problem with shorting is that THEY (the shorters) WOULD most likely lose most of their money IF they just 'bet' on the price going down without trying to 'help' it down?
'Catch 22' .... No one would know of an RNS to be released that will contain BAD NEWS, if they did and then 'shorted' the stock, then they are guilty of 'insider trading'.
The only sure way to short a stock and WIN is to spread dis-information to defame the company with help from other posters that are in concert with them. To ENSURE that they don't lose the biggest part of their 'short', ironically, then, they must deramp with (seemingly) believable posts.
* When the pro's do it, they simply get the media or well known 'crooked' tipsters, analysts or brokers to do it for them. (say no more).
# The campaign against shorting is for the benefit of the 'cheated' investors that cannot control their investments due to the dirty tricks played out by co-ordinated shorting !
The results will be reviewed by Govt legislators for further action! The FCA will be asked by Davide Serra to conduct an investigation into short selling practices, with the view to either ban short selling, or to be better regulated !

I was mulling over Loot's suggestion re Iluka buying out PFP. Also Indy asked how much it would cost.
Correct me if I'm wrong here but....
Say 1 billion shares in issue (for ease), Iluka could buy the lot for 1p a share (which some might accept) for £10million.
Lets say they feel generous and offer 5p
£50 million. A quarter of the cost of KMR (offered 20p according to the Times).
I'd take 5p.
However for such a deal to go through one party (the general or the BOD), must drop their claim to ownership.
Or can they literally just sit down and agree they own half each?????
Thoughts anyone.
Thanks for the heads up, will give me more to look at today. Good luck with your investing
I'm online before work today because I'm intending to invest in KMR, I believe current takeover talk from KMR is the reason for the interest in PFP. (See Indys comment earlier), our current cash position is slightly lower than we hoped at 1.7M and as stated by our new chairman this could be a very long haul and so I think any gains will be highly volatile.

I must confess that despite my post of last week planning to buy and average down I haven't.
I did place several daily fill or kill orders at 0.4 and then 0.35p but none triggered. Feeling someone was telling me something I decided to re read the backgound to the licence issue. I mean REALLY review it, including the General's blog, which I had previously ignored as fantasy.
Bottom line - I've backed out.
Loot, the licences and hence the possibility of a buy out could be ours, but I'm not sure who really owns these licences any more, the more I read the less I know, which puts this judgement on the spin of a coin.
Newtothis game, welcome aboard. I don't know how much you've researched the background to this licence conundrum, but I can say it's complex and very opaque and I no longer know myself who owns them.
Bottom line, good luck to you but if I may offer one piece of advice it's don't take your eye off this one for a minute.
"I can't help but feel that could have been us."
Can't argue with your licences comment Loot and money might not make buy happiness (although I have my doubts on that) but if someone else is paying it can help smoother over disputes. Err, subject to greed.
Have you ever compared the size off what could be Pathfinder's operation with Kenmare's and could there reasonably be an economises of scale incentive there for Iluka perhaps? Then there's SAV.
I'm not motivated to research that, just thought being a numbers man you might have.

I got a bit excited when I saw +14%; especially as the results are due Monday. Then I saw the KMR news and assume the MMs have marked the whole sector up. I'd like to think that the General realises there are buyers out there who are prepared to spend big on mineral sands assets (provided the legal owner can be determined). I can't help but feel that could have been us.
Thinking of dipping my toe in here, can get 1m shares at 4p currently which is between the spread

Jerry, I haven't checked of late but the spread here tends to be a large part of the range, at times virtually all of it. Whatever part the spread is playing now it seems to bounce around between 3 plus a bit and nearly 5 I think but others here could offer more accurate insight. Dour and Loot are the resident risk lovers.
up a healthy percentage today, did someone buy a share ?
or am I looking at the natural ebb and flow of the SP
June 2013 is a useful line in the sand as we know the cash position on this date (£2.134m) and UK legal proceeding had finished by then.
The FY results due this month should tell us the cash position at December 2013. We should then know how much it costs to run this company for 6 months as it is reasonable to assume legal and operational costs are minimal for this period.
I would hope that these accounts will show very nearly £2m cash on the books as I dont believe the VAT rebate is included for this period (announced January 2014). If we have significantly less than £2m, that would ring alarm bells for me. If we are burning cash in a relatively inactive period it doesnt bode well for the future.
Control over expenditure at this stage would also demonstrate to the General that we are in this for the long haul.

I've elected to take a simplistic approach to this one after some time in the "wilderness" of earning money through building work.
And reading your post I now think the price warrents the risk.
Anyaway this will either succeed (in any way we care to dream of), or it will fail, Again in any way we care to fear!
So on this basis I've decided to try and claw back my losses on a couple of my duffers. EDL being the other, by averaging down in the hope of a break even point in event of ANY recovery - however achieved.
Put simply, if I chuck another small amount at these two I could come out in profit, (or at least with a smaller loss!)
I won't try and predict the target exit price, however by taking this risk, I am predicting the result.
Some time back there was a series of days across a couple of weeks when new victims were drawn in at, prima facie, relatively good prices subject to the spread and one in particular typed rather confidentially and kind of knowledgably about the share. On one such day he bought and I can't remember if it was a second tranche or the first and only. I think the latter. Anyway, what I found interesting was that all of the orders that day were tiny as in a few hundred quid with the biggest being about £600 if memory serves. I'll admit that I smirked at the time as he gave the impression of someone who would buy a fair few after all that research and thinking.
I discussed it with an online buddy who shares my ability to buy the wrong shares but unlike me he didn't initially have a dodgy broker fuelling his AIM idiocy(and introducing him to the sub-sector) in ones market formative phase. (I'm not sure which is the most stupid route, probably mine.)
Anyway, this fellow small cap stuffer-upper was in the process of tracking ten AIM shares in a hypothetical portfolio that flicked his switch as in they all had a good story in his eyes and he's good with numbers and corporate law (organisational structures) etc etc. I don't hear from him about shares much but a couple of months ago he summarised his experiment by saying that only one came good during his experiment which I think was for one year. Several of the others were disasters. So nine in loss to one degree or another. I can't remember if some were suspended or had been but it seems likely that at least one suffered that fate.
I think the moral of the story is that I should not have smirked. Quite exciting to bet small on these type of 'opportunities' and sell any that rally and laugh off the rest. Or better still stop loss the rest not that that is always a good idea e.g. IOF which I did not get involved with.
Downside here: 100% loss (but off a low base if using the written down value for anyone who held for some time)
Upside: ?????????????????????
I cannot know if the upside will be realised or the downside or I suppose somewhere in between but Loots idea of figuring out the cash burn between two points would be of interest to me if I was going to buy which I'm not.
Are there going to be any more court cases in Mozambique this year?

The 2013 final year results are due this month - should break the monotony.
Not sure I really want to see how much cash is left from the VAT rebate but at least we shall see how much all this inactivity is costing us. I dont expect news (good or bad) to come with the results as I believe when it comes it is likely to be out of the blue. In fact the shares may be delisted prior to news.
Meanwhile I notice less tit-for-tat between the General and the company. The General's blog has just one post for this year as opposed to one post per month in previous years. I'd like to think all the talk is going on away from the public glare but I suspect the silence is; well, silence.

Emo fans have a few choices as far as concerts go on this particular Sunday. But for those with discriminating tastes who appreciate the genre's nascent sound, Japandroids might be the hip ticket. This Canadian duo plays fuzzy, impassioned, albeit whiny rock tunes in the vein of defunct superstar mid-western emo band Braid. And while Japandroid's Wikipedia and Myspace pages list the band's genre as garage rock, we find it interesting that they're signed to Braid's label, Illinois' Polyvinyl Record Co.

The lonely road is much lonelier by the end of this (surprisingly maudlin) Mad Max gameplay trailer. Not because he breaks up with his girlfriend or his dog dies or anything, just because he executes a bunch of marauders and blows up their cars. You know, apocalypse stuff.
The open-world game from Avalanche Studios, creators of the Just Cause series, doesn't star Mel Gibson, but it does have a whole lot of car combat and wide open wasteland to stake out for your own. And Max still has an Australian accent.
It's slated to arrive in 2014 on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Check out our E3 preview for more, wherein we may or may not go beyond Thunderdome.

Time for breakfast. Have a great day.
Don't you just hate when that happens!! Thank goodness for seam rippers. Great project.
Crows in a Row are adorable. I hate it when I sew HSTs going the wrong way!!! Better to catch it now. :-)
That is so cute!!
Hmmmm?...I actually liked it better the first way. It looked a little more 'folky' that way.
It looks great either way *s*
It seems that when a ripper is involved at my house, more often than not there is a repeat performance. Why does that happen. I have sewn so many things together the wrong way a second time. So frustrating. Glad you got it right--I think this is a great piece!
what a darling block!...i also think the hs tri's going the wrong way add a bit of whimsy!
either way, looks great!
I like it either way - very whimsy. It's an adorable finish.
Should the top right corner be different than the other three?
I think it needs to be ripped out?
Very cute quilt despite the reverse stitching.
I would say that I wouldn't have noticed but I probably would have noticed the first one. Second one ... not so much. Either way, it's a cute pattern!
I really like it! Very fun!
Great project - I love crows in a row! There's crow in my yard right now...
I just might of left those HST's like it was planned...
Your seam ripper is your friend :-). You work on the cutest darn things.
Ohh, so frustrating! It looks great now though! I had to use those same exact crows on a big quilt I made a few years ago. They have such personality.:)
Hehe :) It looks a lot better spun the right way around - What a cool block.
It's a really cute block! Good thing it wasn't all quilted before you noticed the HSTs, but it would still be a cute block.
I love the way it finally turned out~lol. What an ordeal, but glad you fixed it~it looks amazing!
Love your Uncle Sam in the header pic too!
It's so cute! Love it!
Yeah, top right corner caught my eye, too... but I think it looks great this way!
Hey I have made that quilt. It's hanging in my sewing room. It was my first applique quilt and it came out HORRIBLE but I guess you can call it prim. I even quilted it myself and it is really poorly done. But I love it all the same. All of my points on my HSTs are chopped off. LOL I think I have improved a little since I made that quilt.
Sweet crow quilt dear friend, very sweet!
cute section!! I was so busy looking at the crow to notice the error
Loved how you showed we all get busy sometimes and make mistakes!! So many are afraid to be human.
We all do it. Good thing you had your trusty Jack the Ripper handy. I use Jack a lot! Love that section too.
Love this little mat...add crows to anything if you want a winner!! The background is interesting too...looks like mottled wool but you said the background was cotton. Did you dye it? VERY effective!!
What a cute folksy mini-quilt. I always love the black birds.
You're lucky! Mine was quilted and bound when I discovered a HUGE mistake. I didn't see it until I took the picture. I'm glad you was a little easier fix.
You're lucky you caught it early in the game. With my luck the quilt would be quilted before I noticed it. It really is a lovely block.
a photo makes finding a sewing error easier. But sometimes--you just don't see them until the project is finished! Ahhh--creative license!
don't you hate that when those squares just have minds of their own? lol
It really is interesting how a block looks once you get on the computer. You can see so much more detail. It is great.
Great project. I think my camera is one of my most valuable quilting tools. Sometimes I don't see things until I look at a photo of them.
Hahahaha - I think I might have liked it better with the backwards triangles!!! Shows your human - you superstitcher you! ;)

It is once again my pleasure to address the graduating class.
Let's start off with congratulations. This long-awaited day marks the end of years of sacrifice and represents a gateway to new freedoms you've long imagined.
But that's enough about all you parents.
You graduates who are gawking at your phones, please do not let me disturb you. I understand that you never know when someone will text about something important.
And, by the way, your parents are even more hopeless than you already imagine. If in their day they had a wee little device that held the sum knowledge of all mankind, they would probably never think of using it to look up the nearest pizza joint.
Today I offer you advice to carry with you into your lives.
For those entering the job market, you should find something for which you have a passion. A job you hate lasts well more than eight hours a day.
Don't make it complicated. Figure out what your boss wants, and deliver.
Sooner or later, everyone gets a bad boss. That's a signal from fate that it's time to go looking for a good one.
You reach your absolute maximum value to your employer on the day you get an offer from a competitor.
Unless you're applying to be a bull whisperer, that nose ring isn't a good look for a job interview.
Show up a little early and leave a little late, and you'll be in the right place at the right time.
There's no such thing as a simple number.
Don't go looking for trouble. It knows its way around and will find you when it's ready.
Never ask, never get.
If you're really good at arguing with cops, you'll win a chance to argue with a judge.
Hate to tell you, but you'll never be better looking than you are today.
You'll make a lot of decisions in life, good and bad. Remember that picking a spouse is one you'll have to live with.
Some people like a lot of drama in their lives. Don't audition for that cast.
Progress and change are the natural order. Not all changes are progressive. Pick carefully.
Every minute of the next 20 years soon will be the good old days.
That's it. Go forth. We turn the keys to the world over to you. It comes "as is." Please leave it in better shape than we did.

EU, White House condemn Turkey's Twitter move
Friday, March 21, 2014
ANKARA/WASHINGTON – The United States and European Union members have rounded on Turkey's move to restrict access to the Twitter social media site after it was accused of ignoring Turkish court orders to remove certain web links over privacy concerns.
The Obama administration on Friday lashed out at Turkey's restricted access to Twitter with White House Press Secretary Jay Carney saying:
"We oppose this restriction on the Turkish people's access to information, which undermines their ability to exercise freedoms of expression and association and runs contrary to the principles of open governance that are critical to democratic governance and the universal rights that the U.S. stands for around the world."
U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki also condemned the move, saying: "This action is contrary to Turkey's own express desire to uphold the highest standards of democracy and efforts to attract foreign investment."
Calling on Turkey to "unblock its citizens' access to Twitter and "ensure free access to all social media platforms" Psaki said that the United States had relayed its concerns to Turkish officials through its ambassador in Ankara.
The United Kingdom's Foreign Office on Friday urged the authorities in Turkey to reconsider the apparent blocking of the site saying:
"Social media has a vital role to play in a modern democracy, and helps to promote transparency and vibrant public debate."
It added that the UK had long-supported Turkey's accession to the EU, and it was important for it as a candidate country to promote the EU's core values of freedom of expression, democracy and the rule of law.
Germany's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Martin Schaefer said Turkey had long had deficiencies in freedom of thought and the press, while France's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Romain Nadal called the block "shocking".
Turkey's internet authority blocked access to Twitter late on Thursday, after a court issued an order demanding the website remove tweets containing certain links. Stating Twitter's management ignored calls from the Turkish government, the authorities said that it was not a ban but a temporary measure.
They added there were no plans to restrict access to any other social media or video-sharing websites.
Twitter does not have an office in Turkey, despite Turkish authorities' requests for it to open a local branch.
