|I have an 8' trellis I would like to plant clematis and roses on. I already have the roses, I bought and planted 4 John Davis Explorer roses, and now I need a few suggestions for a nice white, medium sized clematis. The trellis has a southern exposure and the roses are planted on that side. I would like to plant the clematis on the other side(northern exposure) where it will still get lots of sun. I think the white clematis and pink roses will look very nice together. I always amend our heavy clay soil with both compost and triple mix before we plant anything. Thanks for any suggestions. Marg
Follow-Up Postings:
|Clematis 'dutchess of edinburg'
Clematis candida
I'm presently trying to germinate these white flowering clematis seeds!
|A good strong clematis would be Guernsey Cream, Easy to grow cutting from too.
|Thanks for the suggestions.
Sharont: I already have Duchess of Edinburgh on a gazebo DH made for me. It's on one side of the gazebo and Henryi is on the other. I'll have to check out clematis candida. Good luck with your seeds. Please let us know how they do.
wmc1: I checked out Guernsey Cream before but thought the flowers may be to big. (I'm fussy!) It is a beautful clematis though and I may have to add it to my collection anyway.
I was looking at Huldine clematis. Anybody grow it? Marg

|This is for the clematis growers, is it worth growing them from seeds at all for immediate impact and bloom, or is it just better to buy the plant in the spring?
Am interested in sweet autumn clematis, dutchess of edinburgh, candida and jackmanii
- Posted by bonniepunch USDAz4 AgCanz5a (My Page) on Thu, Jan 3, 08 at 12:49
|It's probably a smaller flower than what you're looking for, but there is a Clematis alpina 'Alba'. It has smallish alpine style flowers and I quite like it, but it's not to everyone's taste :-)
|As you can see, I live in zone 4 and grow Huldine quite successfully with some winter cover. I have two plants and really enjoy them. They have flowers for an extended time compared to other clematis that I have and the flowers are beautiful! I would definitely try one! Enjoy!
|To glaswegian:
I think growing most Clematis from seed would be a long slow process (5 years maybe?). With some bought mature Clematis it can take a second year to get bloom. I bought three widely varying types two years ago as unusually small plants (4 inch pots I think,),,,from Safeway at $5 a piece. I am expecting these to take another year or two or maybe three to bloom. Clematis can be easy to grow if you get the conditions right. If you don't they die. Most will not take any heat or much dryness at the roots and yet they have to have sun on the plant itself. So you really have to do some research and be extra careful where you plant them or you can be wasting you time. The full size ones in good sized pots can be bought in the Pacific North West for $12 to $15 each. These usually bloom a bit the first or second year. Jacmani (deep purple) is the commonest and one of the hardiest. My Jacmani has bloomed more each year with no attention whatsoever except for cutting it off at the bottom in spring...It gave a pretty good second bloom last fall too...always gets comments from passers- by. Nelly Moser (soft pink) has a great reputation too for being covered with flowers. These are the large flowered types and maybe a bit fussier than some of the smaller types. Some of the smaller flowered types get to be very large plants though. They are a much varied group of plants so you will have to check that out too. There are a couple of excellent websites on the net specializing in Clematis. this should get you started.... http://www.clematis.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- State safety officials say they aren't surprised that traffic fatalities were up statewide in 2012.
Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons noted that 2011 had the lowest number of Tennessee traffic deaths in nearly a half-century and officials knew it would be difficult to replicate.
The preliminary death count for last year was 1,019 people. That was up from 937 traffic fatalities in 2011.
Preliminary statistic show more than 24 percent of 2012 traffic deaths involved alcohol. More than half of those killed weren't wearing seat belts.
Officials began alerting the public to the rising traffic death toll early last year by regularly posting the figures on the electronic highway message boards. This year the toll is being posted only on Fridays.

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "The Rager"by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
What is the deal with Connor? Just how much of a bad ass is Jeremy? Is Rebekah beyond redeemable at this point?
In the latest edition of The Vampire Diaries Round Table, staff members Matt Richenthal, Dan Forcella, Miranda Wicker and Eric Hochberger gather around to breakdown "The Rager," answering all these questions and more.
Won't you pull up a virtual chair and join them?
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
Matt: Elena's keg stand. That was damn impressive. She's taking the wrong approach to this vampire thing. Forget learning how to subside on human blood in a calm manner. She should be winning state gymnastic titles for the Mystic Falls Timberwolves.
Dan: Damon and Klaus: Vampire Vampire Hunter Hunters. I loved seeing these two team up to take down the big bad hunter. It may not have been as brotastic as Damon and Ric, but it came in a close second.
Miranda: It feels too easy to just say Damon shirtless. But yeah, probably Damon shirtless. Followed closely by, oh yeah, Damon shirtless. And then Damon swooping in just as Elena's about to KILL MATT to save the day. If only he'd been shirtless.
Eric: There was a shirtless Damon? Didn't even notice. I was too busy getting giddy over the return of Phoebe Tonkin. Honestly, could there have been a better werewolf for Tyler for play around with in the Appalachians?
Did Tyler really cheat on Caroline?
Matt: Not to go all Ross and Rachel on you, but weren't they on a break? I'm pretty sure typical dating rules don't apply when one goes into the mountains to break a sire bond.
Dan: Have you seen Phoebe Tonkin? Yeah, he probably did.
Miranda: I feel like there's a joke about animal instincts and urges in here somewhere, but no, I don't think he cheated. I think they have a bond because of what he went through and it makes him uncomfortable, but Caroline is still his number-one girl.
Eric: No man should have to choose between Candice Accola and Phoebe Tonkin. Like Klaus and Dan, I'm going to assume the worst in our boy Tyler. He's a hybrid. Not Superman.
More shocking development: Jeremy actually being a bad ass, Klaus saving Connor's life or April apparently living alone?
Matt: While he official bad ass-ery may still be in question, I'm giving the nod to Jer. I wasn't bored by him for a change! I was surprised he played such a vital role in the Connor sneak attack and especially intrigued by the possibility of him working on his status as a hunter. What's next, TVD? Bonnie smiling?!?
Dan: Jeremy is not a bad ass. Like was mentioned during the episode, him saying that he was made the whole thing null and void. He can put on as much weight as he wants, Jeremy will always be a little twerp.
Miranda: Jeremy stepped into bad ass territory when he chopped the hybrid's head off with a meat cleaver, and the only adults living in Mystic Falls are the Mayor and the Sheriff, so the only possible answer here is Klaus saving Connor's life. Damn Klaus, always having all the answers.
Eric: Damon nailed it. If Jeremy has to label himself a bad ass, he still ain't one. And we all know The Vampire Diaries no longer kills off its bad guys. So clearly the biggest shock belongs to April. But it wasn't April living alone or drinking massively underage at a party. It was the fact the party was in the middle of the day during the week. Pretty sure I didn't discover day drinking until college.
If Stefan were to write a book, what should he title it?
Matt: Salva-BORE: Why Good Guys Rarely Win.
Dan: The Rippaahhhhhhhh.
Miranda: Funsucker: How To Be the Most Boring Vampire Ever in 164 Years or Less.
Eric: Rippah to Boring: In One Season or Less. Honestly, though, I wouldn't waste my time writing it if I were him. Much too small of a target market. New Vampires? Well, if you insist on it Stefan, I'd either start with a blog or go the self-published route on Amazon before I dare faced a publisher.
Do you feel any sympathy for Rebekah?
Matt: Yes, and that's not all I'd like to feel when it comes to Rebekah!!!
Dan: How much sympathy is the better question, and the answer is "loads of it." I don't care how much evil someone has inside of them, when Rebekah puts on the pouty face, I'm a sucker every time. I hope that everyone comes around on her and she becomes part of the gang. Oh, that will never happen? Well, a guy can dream.
Miranda: Not in the least. Sorry, Dan. Can we dagger her - again - and shove her back in a coffin already?
Eric: I'm torn. Pros: Poor girl had quite the scary cray cray for a brother in Klaus. And, let's be honest, who hasn't wanted to kill Matt or Elena once or twice these past few seasons? Cons: She killed Alaric. Okay, you're right. Bitch must die.

i think you guyyss are being a bit too harsh on stefan :P am i the only one who find him interesting ? Theere needs to be characters in the show who are san.]e, and stefan is one of them.
Some events will go pretty shocking but I can't wait to see what else will happen in season 4. =O
1. The banter between Dr. Meredith and Damon in the creepy trailerpark house. She is channeling Alaric and I will take anything that involves dear ol' Ric. 2. He definitely went to an nth base. Why else would he insist that Caroline leave? 3. Alaric believed in Jeremy once upon a time, so I will give the twerp a chance. So, Klaus saving Connor. Because the adults are just accessories in Mystic Falls. That or psychopathic, murder-suicidal old men apparently. 4. Nice Guys Finish Last. 5. I love everything Rebekah more than even Alaric, so yes. The ring stealing was brilliantly cruel. No show in high school can be complete without a vindictive, hot bitch to constantly antagonize and bully and pout.
Favourite scene - Damon and Klaus teaming up. Two most bad ass vampires ever, together on a mission. That's all I need to be perfectly happy. Did Tyler cheat? First of all, it was really great to see Phoebe Tonkin again. And second of all, could any guy resist her? In the name of girl solidarity - if he cheated, he's dead to me. In the name of being relistic - I wouldn't really blame him. More shocking - Klaus saving Connor. What the hell is "The Five"? Stefan's book - I think Matt pretty much nailed it. "Salva-BORE", LOL :D As for Rebekah - wouldn't everybody be damaged after a thousand years with a family like hers?
1. For me the scene with Damon and Dr. Fell was quite a nice scene, she doesn't know him very long but she knows him well enough to know that he will not leave Mystic Falls, his brother and most importantly Elena. Glad there is someone who knows Damon as much as Alaric did. 2. I think that if he didn't at least go to 2nd base with Hayley then Tyler is gay. But then again when he told Klaus how he broke his bond. That he used his Love for Caroline, I doubt he did. Tyler is the one character who has had the most development since the pilot 3 years ago. 3. April living alone, how is it that no one would take a high school teenager whose father was a pastor. Ridiculous! How can writers think that is plausible in the least. 4. My brother and I are in love with the Petrova Doppelganger. 5. I do, but sometimes she makes it hard to like her at all. She needs to get over her hatred for Elena because she wasn't the cause of her problems.
Hahah you guys are great=hilarious. OK listen, Phoebe Gulf of Tonkin is hot no question, but thats it. She doesnt have Rebecca's how shall I say? DEPTH. no seriously, Rebecca is a complicated hot mess , very attractive in a bar on a dark friday night. Pheobe is like: all available, all toffee. No challenge. hot legs though. so whatevs. Klaus and Damon are awesome together. totally quip of each other and have the same rhythmn. Dynamite snark duo. Ive never been as down on Elena as some readers here. She's like the perfect girl a man would want to settle down with: beautiful, good values, sweet, compassionate. I do like seeing her little "fighting kitten" side coming out as she tests her vampire wings. Stefan needs to juice up a bit. He talks as if the weight of the world is on his butt. Paul Wesley is much more sparky in interview than Stefan is on screen. Connor is great. Its no surprise Klaus saved him because he did say "the five" join the dots with "Connor is joining the cast". do love me some elite ninja hunters fighting elite original vampires. All these elites makin mah head spin!
1.My favorite scene was when Klaus told Tyler " I should've killed you for that little you and your friend pulled" Pure Klaus
2. Yes, you should always be honest in any relationship. Forwood will break up and Klaroline will be together forever!!!!
3. Klaus saving Connor. I didn't see that coming, I wonder what Klaus knows about "The Five"?
4. Yes, "How to take human life without getting caught"
5.I don't know
1. My favori
1. Klaus Damon. Followed by shirtless Damon, and closing with the Damon-Meredith exploding kitten banter. I'm sorry, anything else happen this week? 2. I would LOVE for it to be true.. so that Klaus could move in on Caroline, but I'm guessing not. But I do think she's there to rock the boat. 3. I was actually shocked to see Klaus's face drop as soon as he heard about the tattoos, so my vote goes there. I think Jeremy went bad ass the moment he chopped off his emo hair, well, that and chopping the hybrid's head off, Stefan ripper style. 4. I have no idea, I would never by it. But probably something along the lines of - The Secret Diareis of a Forever Angsty Teen Vampire. 5. I do. I really think she's a lovely character, she's acting out of pain. I can't really hold that agains her.
Damon is hot.
Elena should be with him, just once, just ONCE.
Stefan should marry caroline because then he would actually SMILE.
Also, meredith and DAMON is going to happen. i dont want it to but it WILL. Strange no one else saw that coming.

Is your lipstick damaging your health?
Your favourite bright lip colour not only lasts all Saturday night, it has a lasting effect on your health too, according to new research
A quick and effective way to add some pizzazz or class to an outfit, lipstick has long been a staple of a woman's handbag. There's something very Carrie Bradshaw or Sex and the City-esque about applying a lick of lippie and hitting the town for an evening of cocktails and frivolity.
Until worrying new research burst that vision, that is. Aside from the fact women, apparently, swallow up to 1.5 kilos of lipstick over their lifetime, now ladies are swallowing a host of chemicals that may seriously harm their health. Muscle problems, hormone disruption, arthritis and poisoning by heavy metals are just a few of the concerns that have been raised surrounding application of the cosmetic product.
While lipstick-contained chemicals such as parabens, methacrylate, lead and cadmium have previously sparked alarm with health officials, there's a new 'nasty' on the cosmetic scene. Triclosan, which is used as a preservative in numerous lippies, has been linked to muscle and heart problems, but has also raised concerns that it might cause bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics and turn into superbugs.
And while the US cosmetics industry has hushed these concerns, pronouncing them as out of hand, molecular bioscientist Professor Isaac Pessah maintains that he found a 'dramatic' 25 per cent reduction in heart function within 20 minutes of laboratory mice being exposed to triclosan. Pessah urges that these findings hold strong implications for human health, but the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) has dismissed his research as irrelevant because of the testing on mice, and not humans.
Stressing that all cosmetic products sold in the UK are controlled by European safety legislation, a spokesperson from the CTPA noted that, 'There are many false allegations levelled against cosmetics manufacturers, accusing them of selling unsafe products and using harmful ingredients. These allegations are just that, false.'
But despite assurances of safety from the established organisation, skin product manufacturer Johnson & Johnson has pledged to remove triclosan — along with a host of other worrying chemicals — from all of its skincare products. Going far beyond the current requirements of European and American regulators, the esteemed brand has now set the bar for other companies to rise to or shy away from.
If your lipstick is now looking more toxic than tantalising, look out for brands such as Aveda, The Body Shop and bareMinerals, who take pride in their ethical, health conscious modes of production. The lipstick to steer well clear from? L'Oreal's 'Color Sensational' Pink Petal, apparently. Containing the most lead of any lipstick tested, at 7.19 parts per million – a considerable amount more than the average lead concentration of 1.11 parts per million in lipsticks – it's safe to say your pout might not be worth the toxins.

The Best Treatment For Acne Scars Learn The Best Treatment Method For Acne Scars
With the many acne scar removal treatments available, it may get hard for a person to decide on the most effective option for them. Indeed, while for some light cases, where the scars aren't very visible, a topical cream helps a lot if making the scars fade, in cases where the effects of the acne have been harsh, they will barely affect the appearance of the scars. Additionally, taking a cream that a friend recommended can be dangerous, people having different allergic reactions to the chemicals, says PathClinic.org. For this reason, consulting a dermatologist could be essential, not only to get a treatment with more effectiveness, but also to avoid further damages.
Laser therapy, also known as photo therapy, is one of the many options for the treatment of an outbreak of acne scars. It owes its reputation as one of the best acne scar treatment techniques to the fact that it is highly effective in the reduction and removal of the scars. A laser therapy differs from traditional methods, including an esthetician or dermatologist prescription topical creams like Revitol, in the fact that it is used to remove the damaged layer of the skin. It also tightens the next layer of the skin to make the healing process easier. Thus, a laser therapy is a great option for people wanting a rapid removal, says PathClinic.org.
Microdermabrasion is a treatment used to remove blemishes on skin. The outer layer of skin is simply peeled off to get new younger looking skin. This process is also good for removing acne as the peel can reach up to the epidermis. Crystals made of aluminium oxide are used to exert pressure on the skin. The aesthetician will use a microdermabrasion machine to exert required pressure to give skin a new look. PathClinic.org gives information on such therapies and their pros and cons. The site is full of useful information about skin care processes. One can consult the website before taking a decision on what to do with the skin.

BOSTON (January 11, 2012) — The Simmons College Nursing program was included in the first-ever 2012 edition of Top Online Education Program rankings released by U.S.News & World Report this week.
Simmons College was ranked in two graduate education listings: Student Services & Technology, and Student Engagement & Accreditation.
In order to be considered for the rankings, online degree programs needed to have at least 80 percent of their course content available online.

Pretty sure all you frat Bros are guaranteed to get laid rocking this polo.

From Wildlife Management Institute
-- A workshop "Bringing Bison Back: Americaís Last Big Game Challenge," is scheduled at the 77th North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference in Atlanta March 12.
It will examine the political, cultural and ecological steps necessary for bison to be restored, managed and valued as a wildlife resource on northeastern Montanaís Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, and other multi-jurisdictional landscapes.
The Great Plains of Montana once sustained bison herds that numbered in the millions, but the bison population was decimated by market hunting and habitat loss during the latter half of the 19th century. Through historic conservation efforts - led primarily by sportsmen clubs and conservationists, including William Hornaday, Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell - many of the game species suffering from overexploitation recovered to a sustainable degree were and been restored to native habitat. The American bison, however, was not one of those species.
Federal lands in and around CMR contain some of the most unique and valuable native habitat in the state, and present one of the most compelling landscapes for bison restoration in the United States.
The CMR area, which includes the Missouri River and the Missouri River Breaks, supports native, short-grass habitat for a variety of prairie wildlife species, including pronghorn antelope, elk, deer, sage grouse, swift fox and bighorn sheep.
The workshop, sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation, will feature a panel discussion addressing the challenges, cooperative opportunities and solutions for wild bison conservation.
For more information, contact workshop organizers Tom France at email@example.com or Kit Fischer at email@example.com.

Wed, Feb 03, 2010
The Red Tail Project is a true example of this unbreakable
spirit. In 2004, the project experienced a tragic setback when
leader Don Hinz lost his life after the organizations P-51C Mustang
suffered a catastrophic engine failure. The Red Tail Project
quickly set forth an ambitious mission to restore the airplane and
continue Don Hinz's remarkable vision, to inspire youth and
tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen across the country.
The Red Tails, nicknamed for the red-painted tails that Tuskegee
Airmen used to identify themselves, deployed to Europe, the
Mediterranean, and North Africa. Forced to operate as segregated
units, the 992 pilots were neither allowed to train, nor fight
beside their white counterparts. Through their incredible
dedication and skill, however, the Tuskegee Airmen quickly became
one of the most requested fighter escorts, flying over 15,000
sorties in more than 1,500 missions. Their extraordinary combat
achievements, vision, and dedication helped break the barriers of
discrimination, despite all challenges.
Five years later, through the tireless efforts of its
volunteers, the Red Tail Project unveiled the restored aircraft,
Tuskegee Airmen, at EAA AirVenture 2009. With the plane flying once
again, the organization turned its focus towards their next
challenge, a program entitled "Rise Above." This
traveling educational museum will allow the Red Tail Project to
travel not just to air shows, but also to schools and malls. The
message remains: aim high, believe in yourself, use your brain, be
ready to go, expect to win, and never quit. The Red Tail Project
has certainly exemplified that message over these last years.
NOTE: Aero-TV would like to
extend our condolences to the family of retired Air Force Lt.
Colonel Lee A. Archer. Archer, a Tuskegee Airman, was widely
recognized as the only black U.S. Air Force Pilot/Ace. He
passed away on January 27th at the age of 90. His courage
will be remembered.

New Year's in London!
I really wanted to celebrate the New Year in a foreign country. And so we did.
Where are we going? What is our budget?
Actually, choosing our New Year's destination wasn't so difficult. We wanted to see spectacular fireworks and party with foreign people. Still we also needed to think about our budget. And so we decided to visit LONDON!
After we decided on London we booked our New Year's trip as soon as possible. As expected, a lot of hotels didn't have any rooms left. On Expedia.nl we managed to book a flight + hotel (with breakfast) for only 200 euro each!
It is a very short flight from The Netherlands to London. When I could undo the safety belt after take of, it felt like only 5 minutes before we already had to fasten the seatbelt again for the landing. 'That was fast!'
Somehow my boyfriend, Fernando, still managed to sleep on my shoulder during that short amount of time.
Somehow my boyfriend, Fernando, still managed to sleep on my shoulder during that short amount of time.
Our hotel, Holiday Inn Heathrow, was almost 1 hour away from London city. An Oyster card for the metro was very handy at that moment! *You can buy the Oyster card at every metro station in every card machine*
We came for the fireworks and champagne, but the extra days we had in London were of course used for.. shopping! We found a very cute asian shop called ''Panda Ho''. The whole shop was filled with panda stuff! Panda plushies, panda notebooks, panda shoes, panda bags, panda EVERYTHING! I couldn't leave such a cute store without buying something, so I got myself a very adorable panda plushie, a travel notebook, some cute panda stickers and toothbrush holders.
I named my panda plushie ''panda''.
A must visit in London is M&M World! The building has 4 floors and is filled with M&M merchandise, M&M paintings, M&M statues and of course.. M&M's!!! This colorful building is so much fun to visit!
Our new red M&M jar reminds me of it everyday.
Our new red M&M jar reminds me of it everyday.
Enough about shopping! Let's get to the best part, the fireworks! We stood right in front of the London Eye, which I heard is the best spot to be. We stood there for more than 3 hours waiting for the big moment. I can't remember a place were I've seen so many people at once. Thousands of people stood there with us. Everybody was waiting for the same moment. No matter where you came from, no matter who you were. We all shared the same feeling in that special moment when the clock was almost at 0:00.
I couldn't believe my eyes. All those people, thousands of people, counting down the clock, cheering for the New Year and the firework.. it was stunning. 15 minutes long I watched the most beautiful fireworks I had ever seen with big eyes. Everything was perfectly timed on music played by a DJ. And because of the Olympic Games that will be held in London this year, they made it extra special!
We sang, we cried, we laughed, we toasted, we drank, we kissed, we danced and we watched. It was a great start for 2012!!!
We sang, we cried, we laughed, we toasted, we drank, we kissed, we danced and we watched. It was a great start for 2012!!!
I know it's a bit late now, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Magical Christmas!
I hope that everybody enjoyed the Christmas holidays. This year I really enjoyed visiting the Efteling on the first day of Christmas. The Efteling is a theme park based on Fairy Tales. Every year around this time, the Efteling gives the park a true Winter Wonderland atmosphere. Everywhere you go you will see campfires, winter decoration, live music and special winter food&drink stands. For example we went ice-skating and enjoyed a glass of Glühwein and smokes sausages after.
The fairy tale forest is a traditional must-see! You will see Snow White, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood and so many other Tales when you walk through it. It kind of makes me feel like a small happy kid!
The winter Efteling offers special cards named 'PiekFijn'. This card includes costs for entrance, parking, a cup of coffee with a small cake, discount at the souvenir shop, a ticket to the 'Ravelijn Show' and also Dinner! It is worth the money! Especially Dinner was fantastic! The restaurant was designed as an old place, candles everywhere. It really had magic all over the place. Nice old looking wooden tables and benches. The food was Burgundian style which really suited with the atmosphere in the restaurant. The food was fresh and oh so delicious!! Because it was Burgundian style, you could eat everything with your hands, which also made it fun to eat! The red wine and Christmas present were the cherry on the pie.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't give us much of a Christmas feeling. No snow, no harsh cold and we even had sunshine! It's a good thing that the Winter Efteling brought us in the Christmas atmosphere. I really enjoyed spending my first day of Christmas together with my boyfriend in this park and I recommend it to everyone!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!

PADI Open Water Diver
YES!! I did it!!
I'm now officially an Open Water Diver! This is the first step to more underwater adventures!
Last weekend Fernando and I went to Oostvoorne, which is in the south-west of The Netherlands near the North Sea, with EasyDiving. EasyDiving is a PADI 5 star Dive Center in The Hague. We did four dives and had to do a theory exam. Both of us studied a lot in our own time, so we both passed the exam with high scores. The dives? They were a whole new experience!
For the first time I could breathe underwater. In the beginning it felt a bit weird, but I was soon used to it. I learned to breathe slow and calm underwater. That way I could control my own movements while underwater with just my breathing. Not touching the ground was a bit difficult the first time.
On Sunday, the last day, it was amazing! I didn't touch the ground at all and I had total control over my movements. I saw fighting crabs and loads of fish! The range of vision isn't so good in The Netherlands though. We only had a sight of about four meters. So you have to pay attention or you will lose sight of your buddy!

Snorkeling in Cuba!
Snorkeling is a ''must do'' when you're on an island like Cuba. The water is crystal clear and there are many amazing fish to see. A wonderful experience!
Of course there are not only loads of different fish to see, you can also lay eyes on beautiful corals! But: don't forget that some fish and corals are dangerous to touch!
Together with my boyfriend, Fernando, I experienced snorkeling in Cuba at several different snorkeling spots. The most beautiful place where we snorkeled was between Varadero and Cayo Blanco. We were on an boat trip to Cayo Blanco. On our way we made a short stop at a shelter at sea where we could hug and swim with a dolphin. The second stop was at a beautiful coral reef. I had never seen so many beautiful fish in my life! It was like an underwater heaven! All the colors of the coral and fish were amazing! It's too bad that we don't have any photo's of that coral reef. But we also snorkeled at a spot near the beach at Varadero. There was very little coral and less fish to be found, but it still was a lot of fun! Here are some photo's~
*Tip* Bring some bread! The fish love it!!

Happiness, whether consisting in pleasure or virtue, or both, is more often found with those who are highly cultivated in their minds and in their character, and have only a moderate share of external goods, than among those who possess external goods to a useless extent but are deficient in higher qualities.Aristotle
For well-being and health, again, the homestead should be airy in summer, and sunny in winter. A homestead possessing these qualities would be longer than it is deep; and its main front would face the south.Aristotle
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worth-while to liveAristotle
Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.Aristotle
The most perfect political community must be amongst those who are in the middle rank, and those states are best instituted wherein these are a larger and more respectable part, if possible, than both the other; or, if that cannot be, at least than either of them separate.Aristotle
We must no more ask whether the soul and body are one than ask whether the wax and the figure impressed on it are one.Aristotle
After these matters we ought perhaps next to discuss pleasure. For it is thought to be most intimately connected with our human nature, which is the reason why in educating the young we steer them by the rudders of pleasure and pain; it is thought, too, that to enjoy the things we ought and to hate the things we ought has the greatest bearing on virtue of character. For these things extend right through life, with a weight and power of their own in respect both to virtue and to the happy life, since men choose what is pleasant and avoid what is painful; and such things, it will be thought, we should least of all omit to discuss, especially since they admit of much dispute.Aristotle
Any one can get angry that is easy or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for every one, nor is it easy.Aristotle
In cases of this sort, let us say adultery, rightness and wrongness do not depend on committing it with the right woman at the right time and in the right manner, but the mere fact of committing such action at all is to do wrong.Aristotle

"We Are The World"-USA for Africa Remembered
January 28, 1985, Hollywood California. The biggest stars in the music business-from (co-writers) Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie to Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, from Dylan and Springsteen to Tina Turner and Willie Nelson, from Diana Ross to Paul Simon and Huey Lewis entered A&M Studios to record one of the great charity anthems-"We Are The World".
Harry Belafonte came up with the original idea for "We Are The World"-following the smashing success of Bob Geldof and Band-Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas". Proceeds, which eventually totaled more than $60 million dollars, benefited "USA For Africa", providing relief to the people of Africa, and Ethiopia, where more than 1 million people died in the famines of 1984-85.
Released in March of 1985, "We Are The World" sold more than 10 million copies. It won 3 Grammy Awards. And while some critics questioned the lyrics, or said the song was not direct enough in addressing the famine; this much is surely true: There can never be anything bad about raising awareness for the plight of those in need.
On Good Friday of 1985, some 8,000 radio stations across the country played "We Are the World", in snych, at 10:25 am EST. I remember hearing that moment while while on vacation, visiting my parents in Sarasota. Where were you?

DAs Lend Stationery to Debt Collectors, Intimidating Debtors into Payment

Joe Nocera Highlights Bank's Debt Collection Practices
|By: David Dayen Tuesday April 3, 2012 1:33 pm
I've been following Jeff Horwitz' excellent series on credit card debt collection at American Banker, which I've chronicled in a couple posts.

BofA Also Selling Credit Card Debt to Collectors With No Quality Control
|By: David Dayen Friday March 30, 2012 8:15 am
We learned a few weeks ago about the JPMorgan Chase debt collection scandal, which featured robo-signing, shredded documents, and loads of criminal activity. Now there's evidence that this was more of an industry standard, as Bank of America suffers from similar problems in their debt collection business. Here's the story from American Banker, which has [...]
JPMorgan Chase Robo-Signed, Trashed Documents in Collection of Credit Card Debts

Hey, remember when JPMorgan Chase abruptly suspended all their debt collection court cases a couple months ago? Now we're learning more about the problems in their debt collection arena. And surprise, we have more robo-signing! The abuses are so bad that even the bank-friendly Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has been roused to [...]

This happened late last week, and the biggest thing I want to know about it is how Pennsylvania snagged the coveted attorneygeneral.gov URL, but I should give it some attention here.

liming heavy industry (Beijing) is a leading manufacturer and aftermarket provider of Crushing equipment and mining equipment for the world's most critical applications. Our products and services are used in several distinct industries including copper, iron ore, metallurgical coal, nickel ,building ,cement industry and thermal coal, as well as a number of general industries.
In the demolition of buildings and other structures, crushing of concrete is generally carried out using a chisel (teeth) device which is opened and closed by a hydraulic jack. liming heavy industry (Beijing) supply precast concrete aggregate production line for processing sand used in construction and building materials. The coarse are processed by a series of crushing, screening and washing operations. The aggregate produced is subsequently used in the manufacture of ready mixed concrete, asphalt, pre-cast concrete products and as natural mineral base and for many other uses in most construction projects.
In order that the crushing capacity of such a concrete crusher may be increased , it is important to insure that the output of the hydraulic cylinder will act on the crushing chisel means as a concentrated load and also that , in consideration of the fact that concrete is rather resistant to compressive forces, the crushing force will act not as a compressive force but as a bending moment. Several proposals have been made in accordance with the above deign concepts.
liming heavy industry (Beijing) is a manufacturer of crushing equipments in China, and supplies all kinds of concrete crushing equipments for sale. The main products are mobile crusher plant, jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, ball mill, powder mill, trapezium mill super pressure, vibrating screens, feeders and conveyor belt . we also provide the complete line of aggregates and sand. if you need mining equipments ,just contact us ,we will help you at the first time!

Is Jonathan Nigeria's most corrupt president?
by Ogbuefi Blogs
Memories are often like the morning dew: they disappear in no time. Winston Churchill won World War II and lost the next election. George H. Bush won the first Iraqi war, continued Ronald Reagan's economic prosperity policies, but he never got reelected. No one talks about
how Obama liquidated Osama Bin Laden. Charles Taylor is still wildly popular in Liberia despite his despicable past. Buhari is perhaps the most popular politician in the North yet only few remember the terror he unleashed in 1985 when he became Head of State. — Asuelimen Aisabokhale
Obasanjo, Tawbuwal, Sanusi and some Igbo spotters and enablers are peddling these false narratives about Stella Oduah et al to redefine Jonathan and the Nigerian political lexicon, making Jonathan and his administration the monster, a president from a minority tribe trying to hijack Nigeria political process by looting our commonwealth.
When you have old tired and retired generals that have nothing good to show for their ranks gathered and ganged together, you know something fishy is going on and it will not be good.
"When Abdulsalam Abubakar began raiding 7 Billion Dollars that Gen. Abacha accumulated in Nigeria's foreign reserve. Babangida had left the reserve EMPTY. Abdulsalam made 3 Billion off our backs in less than 6 months. Obasanjo told Abdulsalam he was pardoned. Who remembers that? All one reads here is Abacha this, Abacha that, while living thieves walk about with impunity. Shame on Nigerians!" – Peter Opara
Nigerians ate all the vomits of the last 40 years rule of Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Shehu Shagari, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, Sani Abacha, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Umaru Musa Yar'adua.
Are we not suffering from selective amnesia and or we born insane.
Umu Nnakwe wrote: "Since 1967 the North and the west has shared Nigerian wealth as their grandfather's and father's property with absolute disdain and disregard of the people whom those wealth and resources are be extracted from their soil and in the process their livelihood destroyed.
"Do Nigerians know how many industries and business in Nigeria that went under since 1980 due to nepotism? They all went under on our people's watch and we should be ashamed of yourselves for suggesting that Jonathan is corruption personified:
i. Nigerians Airways
ii Nigeria Railroad
iii. Nigerian Volkswagen assembly plant
iv. Nkalagu Cement in Enugu
v. Ajaokuta Steel Project, Ajaokuta
Others are:
(ii) The Delta Steel Company, Ovwian – Aladja
(iii) Jos Steel Rolling Company, Jos
(iv) Katsina Steel Rolling Company, Katsina
(v) Oshogbo Steel Rolling Company, Oshogbo
(vi) National Iron Ore Mining Company, Itakpe.
(vii) National Steel Raw Materials Exploration Agency, Kaduna.
(viii) National Metallurgical Development Center, Jos.
(ix) Metallurgical Training Institute, Onitsha.
To mention but few, these corporation were built with public funds and sold to private citizens by Obasanjo and cronies and revenues from those sales never accounted for. Were Jonathan and his cronies in government when these businesses disappeared?"
1) Who emptied ecological funds between 2002 and 2007?
2) Who embezzled $38 billion independent power project funds between 2004 and 2007?
3) Who sold Ajaokuta steel mill to himself and bought it with public funds?
4) Who was the petroleum minister between 1999 and 2007, yet nothing was remitted to the CBN?
5) Who sold Bakassi because of greed, in order to become UN Secretary General?
6) Who bribed politicians with more than 2 Trillion Naira to support his 3rd term ambition?
7) Who built a private university with public fund even at a time when ASUU was on strike protesting poor funding of Federal universities?
See this article from Thisday backpage: Tinubu's Canonisation of Obasanjo by Simon Kolawole!
"I thought it was designed to be a joke. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stood reverently in front of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, pleading with him to come and rescue Nigeria along with the APC. "We're resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria… we want you to be our navigator," Tinubu told Obasanjo. Like seriously? All you need to attain sainthood in Nigeria today is to be opposed to President Goodluck Jonathan. If Gen. Sani Abacha were alive and had written Obasanjo's kind of letter to Jonathan, he would have become an instant hero. Just six years ago, I would have sworn that nobody would ever take Obasanjo's views seriously again, but this is Nigeria where our memory is so shallow. Misfits get easily rehabilitated. We are told to ignore the messenger, even when the messenger is the eternally manipulative "navigator".
"I would like to remind Tinubu, and other easily excited Nigerians, about the antics of the man called Obasanjo. Lagos State would have been enjoying uninterrupted power supply today but for the petty "navigator" who interrupted Tinubu's independent power projects. Obasanjo tried to frustrate the Enron-built AES power plant (which today supplies 230mw) until Tinubu reportedly went to prostrate to His Imperial Majesty inside his hallowed chambers at Aso Rock. But the "navigator" still made sure the other phases of the project did not see the light of the day.
"The 4th Mainland Bridge would have been completed by now but for Tinubu's "navigator" who refused to give the necessary Country Guarantee to secure a World Bank loan. (The same Obasanjo is hypocritically accusing Jonathan of stalling the Rivers water project – and Nigerians are clapping for him). In the 2003 elections, the "navigator" did everything to uproot Tinubu as the governor of Lagos State. On INEC's website, Funsho Williams (PDP) had been announced as the winner, the same way other AD governors were swept out. I still don't know how Tinubu survived. In 2004,
"Tinubu created additional local governments. The "navigator" immediately withheld funds due to Lagos councils, describing Tinubu's action as unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled that Tinubu's action was in order but that the councils were "inchoate" until listed in the constitution. The court further ruled that Obasanjo had no power whatsoever to withhold funds due to any tier of government. The "navigator" still refused to release the funds, not even to the 20 constitutionally recognised councils. President Umaru Musa Yar'Adau released the funds three years later
"I saw General Muhammadu Buhari on the team that went to Abeokuta to plead with Obasanjo to come and rescue Nigeria. My heart sank. I supported and voted for Obasanjo in 1999, but I was so disgusted with his conduct in office that I shifted my loyalty to Buhari in 2003. We all know how Obasanjo won his re-election that year. The presidential poll, conducted on April 19, was for years described as "419" election by Buhari. For instance, Obasanjo won 72,000 votes from 72,000 registered voters in Brass, Bayelsa State. No more, no less. The 2003 presidential poll was called the most fraudulent election in Nigerian history. It is incredible how Obasanjo is now in the forefront of rescuing Nigeria as APC's "navigator" simply because he criticised Jonathan – and I am very worried that Buhari has descended to this low level of politicking.Buhari told me something four years ago in his hotel room in London.
"I had been agonizing Just six years ago, I would have sworn that nobody would ever take Obasanjo's views seriously again, but this is Nigeria where our memory is so shallow. Misfits get easily rehabilitated that Obasanjo was president for eight years and still failed to address power and refinery issues. I said no matter what Obasanjo achieved as president, those two things would continue to taint him. Buhari then narrated an encounter he had with Obasanjo at a Council of State meeting sometime in 2001. He recalled: "I said Mr. President, when you came into power in 1999, you said our refineries were not working because somebody (Abacha, that is) was awarding fuel import contracts to his family members.
"Two years on, Mr. President, who is getting the fuel import contracts? Are the refineries working now? He interjected and tried to stop me… That was the last time I attended Council meeting under Obasanjo's government." Well, the meeting has now resumed in Abeokuta! I also saw Rivers Governor Rotimi Amaechi peeping from behind in the APC group photograph with Obasanjo during their expedition to Abeokuta. Was he also trying to pour accolades on Obasanjo? If my memory serves me right, Obasanjo callously denied Amaechi the PDP ticket in the 2007 election, openly describing his candidature as having a "K Leg". But for the Supreme Court, which bent backwards, Amaechi would not have been governor. He should count himself lucky that the judgment was delivered when Obasanjo had left power, if not it would never have been implemented. We were all witnesses to Obasanjo's lawlessness anytime the courts passed judgments. He often refused to obey.
"His Attorney-General always had his own interpretation, even for matters as simple as "return to status quo ante". I am waiting for Dr. Chris Ngige to pour his own encomium on the "navigator". I don't need to remind anyone what Obasanjo did to Ngige in Anambra State in 2004. If you're too young to know, please google it. I am also waiting for Chief Audu Ogbeh to take his turn. He was removed as PDP chairman by Obasanjo because of his letter on the Anambra brigandage, in which he passionately pleaded with Obasanjo not to allow "this beautiful edifice of democracy to crumble". As an APC chieftain now, Ogbeh can follow Tinubu's footsteps and ask Obasanjo to be the "navigator". No wonder, some people have given up on Nigeria. With Obasanjo as the "navigator", a shipwreck is inevitable – as Professor Wole Soyinka has put it. If I may ask: what is Obasanjo's electoral value? He has never won any election fair and square in his life. He lost woefully in the South-west in 1999, and used state power to corner those states for the PDP in 2003 and 2007. Naked without state power in 2011, his candidate for governorship in his home state, Brig-Gen.
"Tunji Olurin, was roundly defeated – and his own daughter, Iyabo, could not win re-election into the Senate. Obasanjo cannot deliver the polling booth in front of his house to APC. His children will not even vote for him. How many Nigerians will vote for a candidate because of Obasanjo's endorsement? Is this the kind of "navigator" APC needs? Agreed, Obasanjo has his nuisance value and his letters will always make headlines, but APC would be well advised to proceed with caution. I fully understand the disenchantment with President Jonathan. Nevertheless, APC should beware of 419."
On Babangida
Okey Ndibe: "There is a report written by the late Pius Okigbo, a man of impeccable integrity, questioning the accounting for billions of dollars in oil revenues that accrued to Nigeria as a consequence of a spike in demand and prices during the first Gulf War. If he hasn't done so, the president should read that report, or at the very least call for an executive summary of its pertinent findings. There is also the report of the Oputa Commission on Human Rights Violations, a panel commissioned by Mr. Obasanjo. Interestingly, the president told his audience in Scotland how General Babangida had used the courts to scuttle the report's publication. One assumes that the president has read it. Certainly, many Nigerian and foreign frequenters of coffee shops and market places have looked at it, thanks to the accessibility and reach of the Internet. Those conversant with the report's unflattering indictment of Babangida are aghast whenever they hear Obasanjo wondering where the "proof" was against Babangida.
"There is, besides, anecdotal evidence, something the president is welcome to mock all he wants but which, in some cases, embodies persuasive power. Neither Babangida nor Obasanjo has ever denied that the former's abode is a massive mansion, rumored to have fifty rooms, and perched on a hill in Minna. Nobody has officially pooh poohed the story that the ex-dictator owns a plosh private jet. Now, if Babangida ever won a huge lottery, it is news to Nigerians. If he received a stupendous bequest from some benefactor, then he and his handlers forgot to spread the news. Nor have Nigerians been informed that military officers who shot their way to power were paid millions of dollars in salaries, enough to afford Babangida's expensive accoutrements and sybaritic lifestyle. Therefore, Nigerians take leave to believe, on the evidence at least of things seen (to say nothing of unseen bank accounts), that the ex-ruler (to put it subtly) has questions to answer."
HOWEVER, All things having been said, while 'Jonathan has a point that previous leaders left him a mess and they are now accusing him of not cleaning the mess fast enough, Nigerians know of only one President and his name is Goodluck Jonathan,' He should start now to seriously fight corruption.
