Please, we know your out there, looking at our posts, probably laughing at all the problems we have with our denias and the reasons why we fail...fortuante to have the key to beautiful denias, so if our fail, we will run out and buy another.
Do you really want us to be sucessful at the ones we buy from you, or hope we will never find out the great fertilizer you use,or your secret to the beatiful denias so ours will fail, just to make more profit from us? So if we fail such as I, or mersiepoo, we will buy another such as I have today! Please, I am begging you, tell us what you do to keep the denias you sell us in containers so green and in big bloom..PLEASE! My denia I bought today has 4 HUGE blooms and is very green. It is rootbound too...I know you have been growing this one in a container for quite sometime... It is not as if they were just thrown in a pot and shipped to sell with in days of being pulled from the ground to sell off to the mat
SO PLEASE, if you are a container gardenia nursery seller, please help us out here, and tell us what you feed your denias to keep them so healthy, until we get them to our homes, only just to see them deteriate...or not look as vibrant.
Follow-Up Postings:
it's likely that their growing conditions are not indoors so, container or no, they produce plants for the market outside and in quite different conditions than what you are trying to do. probably nothing more than regular water and fertilizer, perfect lighting and warmth. i've seen zenobia pulverulenta and franklinia altamaha growing on the hot, black tarps in baking sun at a local nursery and, as soon as i take them home and plant them in perfectly natural growing conditions, they croak! you may have to resign yourself to treating them as annuals as they are not the best candidates for cold-climate indoor culture, esp. based on what i read on this forum. they are quite common in zone 8 but i don't know if i would try to overwinter them inside if i had to. if it's any consolation, most of the highly fragrant lilacs don't prosper here in our heat but many of us wish they were as easy as the gardenias. ;-) |

You know,,,you're right! If I can make a few last through the winter, then that is something to be greatful for. Since I do not, then I will have to look at them as annuals, and if my miracle, a perenial when they make it through our harsh winters. You shouild smell all my huge awsome lilacs right now. Thanks for your insight! Mike..:-) P.S. I guess barely any nursery owners frequent here.......They should to see what we are all saying, and share their sucess, unless they do come here, and decide to add nothing to this forum..... |

Vinegar...Yup that is what it is....;-) |
All my gardenias pretty much croak by late winter too. I am going to buy a heating mat this year, and I am also going to put a bunch of lights on the thing too, if I had had more light and heat I know my gardenia would have survived. And no I'm not in denial, ha ha! It had one big fat bud that was near the light bulb. If it hadn't gotten throw off the deck, it may have even BLOOMED! Ya, ha ha ha!!! |

meyermike, i'm glad someone else thought to ask the nursery people about this. there must be something we're missing, since the plants i buy are always dark green and full of big fat flowerbuds. i brought one home two days ago and put it in a bigger pot and the buds dropped off 36 hours later. grrrrr! maybe i shouldn't have moved it into the bigger pot? and jeff al, i feel your pain too. how can mine be so fussy here, and yet last summer i saw one going crazy in the parking lot of a green mill restaurant?! i know the cooks aren't taking time out from flipping pizzas to give it miracid. |
I am not a nursery guy and I do not have any magical answers for you but some trial and error learning that took me a few years (I would say I killed a few hundred over time -- that I am willing to admit to). I am a simple country gardener and I grow them outside in Zone 6, so I have no tips for container growers. I also do not grow the hothouse variety because of my zone, those are the ones you get around Easter. Yes I know they say it's 'iffie' here as prennial but someone should have told me that many years and plants ago. My rule is the first year is a wash do not expect anything but stimulate the root growth. Remember when planting it is a wood plant so treat it like a bush your transplanting... this was my hardest lessen. You have to sacrifice the first year you plant it of great flowers if you want it to stay alive, acclumate and grow its roots. At least in my zone. I plant mine where they get sun a good portion of the day but not all day and I have learned to keep them near the light post or garden lights. We have an outside air conditioner/ heater which blows hot air when running... They really love it near there. I cut them back when I cut my roses back in the late fall using the same rule... anything smaller than the width of a pencil. The other things I do: I plant hostas at their base to suck up too much water, we have clay soil so I plant them on a slight mound with rocks under for drainage and mine seem to really like coffee and flat soda in the summer. Oh I also keep them in the same bed I have my lenten roses, I find that if the lentens can come up in the winter then that part of the soil is not too frozen. My oldest one is around 8 or 10 years old but it has had many offspring. Hope this helps someone. Now if I could just grow a peonie..... :-( |

Author David Maislish has another perspective in his new book, Assassination, The Royal Family's 1000 Year Curse, which demonstrates that British monarchs over the past millennium have been victims of an endless array of plots, counterplots and funeral plots.
It evolved from the seed of an idea. "I decided to write about the 11 monarchs we all know had been killed," says Maislish. "Hoping to find more, my research suggested that another 12 may have been killed."
The concept became increasingly intriguing for Maislish as he dug ever deeper "leading to the discovery that someone had indeed tried to kill all the others but it was just that they had been lucky enough to escape assassination."
Assassination is the result of four years of painstaking research by Maislish, studying hundreds of books in the evenings and writing on weekends and holidays. The result is a fascinating examination of the British monarchy that we never studied in school, filled with intrigue, rivalries, quests for power and greed.
Little wonder the Brits have such an affinity for a good mystery. It's in their blood, so to speak. It might even be the origin of the term "bloody good."
One of the unexpected pleasures of Maislish's work is the added inclusion of numerous anecdotes which bring the stories of the monarchs to life and make for interesting dinner conversation. Such enthralling tidbits as the use of the fork or the origins of croissants, chardonnay, the handkerchief, cappuccino and numerous others little known facts.
Perhaps most relevant to the book itself is the story of Edward I during the ninth crusade. It was there that Edward encountered Hasan bin Sabah in what is today
If that sounds familiar to modern day terrorism, it should.
In the 13th century however, it was believed that in order to commit suicide for such a cause the men must have been drugged on hash. As a result, the word used to describe Muslim suicide killers was "hashishim" which later evolved into the word we know today as "assassin."
Each chapter is a mini-biography, complete with a detailed family tree, of the forty-five monarchs who have sat on the throne since Canute became the first king of
They almost become literary snacks where you can read one or several and come back for more without losing your place.
Mailish's conversational, story-telling style is as though the author himself is narrating the adventures of royal intrigue at a cocktail party.
Another aspect of the book is the evolution of the rules of succession which continue to change even today. As we know so well from the saga of Henry VIII, gender has long been a major factor in the link to the throne, but that is changing now with contemporary mores where sexual orientation no longer matters.
As Maislish points out if the gender-factor had been eliminated during the reign of Queen
As the age old adage says, "truth is often stranger than fiction."
If such events tickle your fancy, then Assassination, The Royal Family's 1000 Year Curse, should find its place in your literary line of succession. It's a bloody good read. Available in paperback ($16) and e-book ($5) at www.amazon.com

Bugzilla – Bug 3465
Last modified: 2006-04-18 14:02:01
You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
I think we would add real value if the SITE VERSION command would make it into the next release. The output should be two version numbers a the internal gridftp version number and b the GT version number if gridftp is iunstalled together with GT. If it is a standalone installation the GT version should return 0. Having this would enable us in future to react more easily on semantic changes related to use, and order of the protocol commands.
I've added the following command for 4.0.1: SITE VERSION 200 2.1 (gcc32dbg, 1117216335-1) gridftp server version (flavor, dirt timestamp-branch tag) This is the same info that is in the default 220 banners. We can't print the gt release version -- there is no way to programatically know that, and it is fairly meaningless (someone could install a 4.0 gridftp server into a 3.2 globus_location and it would work just fine). FYI, here are the gridftp server release versions to gt release mappings: gridftp server gt 1.12 or lower 2.4.3 or lower 1.17 3.2.0, 3.2.1 2.0 4.0.0 2.1 4.0.1

in Cart
When you don't have a garage, you have to leave your cars open to the aspects. If you have an older automobile that you have run into the ground since high school, you might not care so much about hailstorms or sun damage. On the other hand, you may be a bit more concerned about your glossy new automobile that you just drove off the lot. An automobile carport canopy can be the best solution, providing plenty of security without the cost of a brand new garage addition.
The most common car canopies are basically tent type structures that utilize anchors to keep them securely in place year after year. A vehicle canopy can be an open air design, or it can have connected sides to enclose all angles of your vehicle from the elements. The best thing about this option is that it is inexpensive and you can still drive your automobile straight in. Traditional car covers typically do not offer full weather protection and they often tend to require more effort to continually remove and replace after each use. A car canopy is the ideal semi-permanent solution.
Some automobile canopies are more permanent and offer thicker fabric cover tops and can be ideal in severe weather and is far more resistant to debris and hail. While these cost a bit more, it is well worth it to safeguard your vehicle from the damages and dings that happen when you leave it exposed to aspects. Once more, you can opt to enclose the canopy with mesh or cloth siding if you really want completely confined sides.
A car canopy can be a lifesaver for the budget conscience. Plus, automobile canopies are easy to assemble and can be set up in just a few hours. OriginalShelters can get your vehicles protected from the damaging effects of weather without breaking the bank. Begin by searching our big selection of carport and garage alternatives so that you can choose the one that is best for your requirements. Then, stock up on accessories like anchors, sidewalls, so you can be protected in any kind of weather, rain or luster.
If you find yourself to be somewhat handy with following detailed instructions, have some basic hand tools (screwdriver and pliers) and a couple hours to invest, you can save a great deal of money with car canopies.

A project assessing landslide risks in South Wales has picked up a prize at the Cardiff University Innovation Awards.
The Innovation Award for Long Term Collaboration was awarded to the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and TerraDat (UK) Ltd, a local company founded by two Cardiff University graduates Nick Russill and Rob McDonald.
Jump to video
The South Wales valleys have one of the highest risks of active landsliding in the UK due to a number of complex geological, landscape and historical coal mining factors.
This joint initiative explores new and innovative ways to quickly assess areas in South Wales that are most at risk from landslides.
The team are using novel techniques, such as small hand-controlled helium balloons with digital cameras and GPS controlled high resolution geophysical surveying.
Data collected provides critical information on the area, and can be combined to create a 3D computer model of the landside to help engineers and other agencies with risk management.
Dr Peter Brabham, of the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, lead academic in the project said: "Our partnership has so far succeeded in providing a system which is cost effective and has a rapid response capability over traditional, costly aeroplane mounted photography and invasive drilling. With the threat of climate change bringing on more severe rainfall, active landsliding events are likely to become more common in the UK."
The long term project between the School and Terradat has given students and academics the opportunity to use state-of-the art geophysical equipment and techniques, coupled with academic conference and research gains.
When it is completed in 2009 it is hoped that the results from the project will help those at risk from landslide, not only in South Wales, but around the world. TerraDat will also gain significantly from the market potential for rapid, long-term landslide monitoring.
The Cardiff University Innovation Awards recognise successful collaborations forged between the University and the world of business. This year's awards were sponsored by BioFusion and Geldards.
Projects 'Highly Commended' by the judges included an environmental rating system for vehicles developed with Dr Paul Nieuwenhuis at Cardiff Business School's Centre for Automotive Industry Research and Clifford-Thames Ltd.
Also Highly Commended was an ongoing partnership between Laing O'Rourke Plc, the UK's largest privately owned construction company, and Cardiff School of Engineering on the development of high performance concrete products, including the patented "CARDIFRC" developed by Professor Bhushan Karihaloo.

Q&A: James Lafferty of Chicago-filmed 'Crisis' | |
Oct 16, 2013 Crisis, James Can 9 comments | |
Joining the slew of television shows and movies filming in Chicago is Crisis, a political drama starring Gillian Anderson and Dermot Mulroney set to air on NBC in February. While shooting this fall, many of the cast members are calling Chicago home base for a few months, including James Lafferty of One Tree Hill fame. We talked to Lafferty about his Chicago musts and being behind the camera. You've acted, directed, and produced. Which do you enjoy the most? Where are you originally from, and where are you staying locally? What do you like about Chicago, and how is it different from LA? What memorable sites or restaurants have you visited? What have you not yet gotten the chance to do or see that you'd like to do or see before leaving? Source: Elle Eichinger @ Michigan Avenue Magazine |

IntroductionRights at StakeInternational and Regional Instruments of Protection and PromotionNational Assistance, Protection and Service AgenciesAdvocacy, Educational and Training MaterialsOther Resources
What is freedom of movement?According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) all people are entitled to the recognition of inherent dignity and certain inalienable rights, which are the "foundations of freedom and justice in the world." Freedom of movement is part of the "liberty of man" (Jagerskiold) thus making it one of the most basic human rights. Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights stipulate:
Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and return to his country.
The right to free movement, or the denial of it, within national and international borders can have profound effects upon other basic human rights also outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other treaties. Without the right to leave ones home, an individual may be politically repressed, prevented from observing his/her chosen religion, prevented from enjoying the basic right to marriage or family life, or blocked from a job or an education that ultimately could enhance his/her quality of life. Thus, while free movement may seem on the surface to be a fairly minor and obvious human right, it actually is one of the most basic rights that in many nations around the world, when violated, causes numerous problems and cases of suffering.
Who does the freedom of movement affect?This inalienable right to liberty extends to all citizens of the world. While it may seem that this right is meant to apply mainly to immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, it also has major ramifications on internally displaced persons and additionally economic migrants or even students.
Refugees have the potential to face a more difficult situation as far as their rights to free movement are concerned. Given that they have fled their old country of origin or nationality due to a well founded fear of persecution on one of five grounds: race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion (see Refugees study guide), they do not have the ability to return to their old country. However, within their new life they are completely in the hands of a new government, which has not guaranteed citizenship to the refugees, as is the case with asylum seekers. Thus, due to the fact that the government has to find a place for these people to make their new lives, which can include refugee camps, then freedom of movement and subsequently the right to make a new and better life has the potential to be infringed upon.
Asylum seekers face problems similar to those of refugees given that they have been forced out of their country of origin or nationality in search of a new and better life. However, in this case, unlike refugees they have applied for a recognized status within their new country. Freedom of movement most often affects asylum seekers while they are waiting for their applications to be processed recognizing them as being under the protection of a new government. These people have in the past had their movement restricted to certain boundaries while waiting for applications to come through and this is in clear violation of their basic human rights.
Immigrants are directly affected by this freedom due to the fact that they have entered a new nation intending to settle there. If they are not allowed into that nation, or the government in any way restricts movement within their new society, then clearly this is in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Internally displaced persons, or those that have left their home in fear of persecution but have not crossed any international borders, face the same challenges as refugees except within their country of origin or nationality. This group of people poses a particularly interesting problem because they are subject to internal exile, another form of persecution and a violation of the human right to liberty. In this given situation those who have fled their homes are forced to remain in a specified area of the country and any movement outside this zone is forbidden.
Additionally the right to free movement affects economic migrants, those who have fled their homes not in fear of persecution but in search of a higher standard of living, which would bring increased job and educational opportunities. In this case some states have placed restrictions on those who wish to leave in order to curb the "brain drain" a situation that has begun to occur in less developed countries in which the educated professionals of that nation have begun to leave for other nations in which they have the opportunity to make a better living for themselves and their families. Thus, in this situation people are looked upon as economic agents and not as human beings. If restrictions are placed on these people not only is freedom of movement being restricted but ones ability to provide for a family is also being infringed upon.
Additionally, students also face the threat of having their right to obtain an education violated if their freedom of movement has been removed due to fear of the "brain drain" or other restrictions that may have been placed upon them. Obtaining visas to travel out of a country is difficult for those coming from underprivileged backgrounds. Additionally, once again many governments concerned about the brain drain worry that these students may not return home after receiving an education. This difficulty or even refusal of a visa is in clear violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international treaties. Thus, while it may not be obvious that students would have their right to liberty of movement infringed upon this is a very real problem in many nations for a variety of reasons.
Each of these groups of people have left their homes in search of better job opportunities and a higher quality of living for themselves and in some cases their families, another basic right guaranteed to mankind. Freedom of movement and subsequently choice of residence allows individuals the rights to choose vocations, which best suit their abilities, and additionally provides people with greater access to education thus contributing to the flow of ideas from nation to nation. However, many would make the case that there are reasons for limits to be placed on certain individual's freedom of movement. In certain cases restrictions on movement are admissible when the security of a nation or an entire group of people is at stake. If an individual or a group has committed an atrocity within a nation their free movement may be taken away in order to prevent them from fleeing the country and escaping trial.
[Back to Top]
Rights at Stake
International and regional instruments protect a number of key rights relating to the freedom of movement:- The right to leave and return: All people have the right to choose to leave their country of origin or nationality if they so choose and additionally they have the right to return to it with no questions asked by the government and no restrictions placed upon their freedom of movement.- The right to seek asylum: All people have the right to seek asylum in another if their rights are being violated in their country of origin or nationality.- Freedom of expulsion: All people have the right to be exempt from expulsion from their country of origin or nationality as well as countries they have immigrated to. This right applies to individuals as well as large groups of people. - The right to education (elementary, secondary, and higher): All people are entitled to the right to an education and if their country does not have access to high quality schools or universities then citizens should be allowed to leave and pursue an education in order to raise their standard of living. Many governments worry that citizens will not return if they leave the country to gain an education thus perpetuating the problem of the brain drain. In this instance governments are viewing their citizens as economic entities and not as human beings.- The right to housing and the right to own property: If sufficient housing does not exist within the boundaries of a nation for single families or entire groups of people they should be allowed to leave in order to find a home and thus raise their quality of living. Additionally this right holds true for citizens moving around within a nation as well. People should be free to move wherever they choose and not be subject to internal exile (the case of Guzzardi vs. Italy, 1965)- The right to family: This is also perpetuated by the right to housing. Citizens have the right to care for their families in the best way that suits them and meets all of their needs. If that means moving to a new country they should be allowed to do that and establish a new residence in that country without blockades.- The right to self-employment and wage earning: All human beings have the right to attempt to make a living as best they can and to provide for themselves and their families if they cannot move about to find jobs then this is in violation of their natural human rights.
Each of these rights are basic human rights that should be afforded to all people regardless of whether they are citizens of a country or not. Thus, these fundamental rights apply to the freedom of movement because no matter where one moves every basic right should still be applied to their life.
International and Regional Instruments for Protection and Promotion
International legal instruments take the form of a treaty (also called agreement, convention, or protocol) that binds the contracting states to the negotiated terms. When negotiations are completed, the text of a treaty is established as authentic and definitive and is "signed" by the representatives of states. A state can agree to be bound to a treaty in various ways. The most common are ratification or accession. A new treaty is ratified by those states that have negotiated the instrument. A state that has not participated in the negotiations may, at a later stage, accede to the treaty. The treaty enters into force, or becomes valid, when a pre-determined number of states have ratified or acceded to the treaty.
When a state ratifies or accedes to a treaty, that state may make reservations to one or more articles of the treaty, unless reservations are prohibited by the treaty. Reservations may normally be withdrawn at any time. In some countries, international treaties take precedence over national law; in others a specific law may be required to give a ratified international treaty the force of a national law. Practically all states that have ratified or acceded to an international treaty must issue decrees, change existing laws, or introduce new legislation in order for the treaty to be fully effective on the national territory.
The binding treaties can be used to force governments to respect the treaty provisions that are relevant for the human right to adequate food and water. The non-binding instruments, such as declarations and resolutions, can be used in relevant situations to embarrass governments by negative public exposure; governments who care about their international image may consequently adapt their policies.
The following international and regional instruments determine standards for the freedom of movement for all people:
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) (article 13)This is the first international document that recognizes explicitly the right to freedom of movement of persons. This treaty stipulates that everyone has the right to freely move around within the borders of their state and in addition everyone has the right to leave their country for any reason concerning them, but at the same time they have the right to return to that country if they so choose.
Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951) (article 26)The Refugee Convention entitles refugees to many of the same rights as other citizens residing within the country. Article 26 stipulates that each state party to this agreement shall allow refugees living within their borders to move about freely subject to the rules that applied to aliens generally in the same situation.
International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1965) (article 5)This convention was established in order to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination. It aims to perform this task by setting down a list of guidelines as to how people should be treated, similarly to other human rights documents. Article 5 states that all people have the right to freedom of movement and residence within the border of the State, the right to leave any country, including one's own, and to return to one's country and the right to nationality.
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) (article 12)This is the foremost treaty dealing with the civil and political rights. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, often abbreviated as ICCPR, stipulates that everyone residing legally within a state has the right to choose his/her place of residence and has the right to move around freely. In addition all people also have the right to leave any country including their own and shall not be deprived of the right to enter back into their country. These stipulations shall not be restricted except when national security, public order, health, morals, or the rights of others are at stake.
To more fully elaborate on the strategies for implementation of the rights set forth in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Human Rights Committee -- the monitoring body of the Covenant -- drafted:
General Comment 15, The position of aliens under the Covenant (twenty-seventh session, 1986)This comment discusses the position of aliens under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It states that aliens have the right to liberty of movement and free choice of residence; they shall be free to leave the country. While this document does recognize that states shall have the right to choose who enters their borders it calls on nations to allow in anyone whose fundamental human rights are at stake and anyone who may be facing persecution. It also recognizes that aliens may be kept out of a country if they pose a threat to the well being of others.
General Comment 25 (1996)This comment is in reference to article 40 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which deals with the right to participate in public affairs, voting rights and the right of equal access to public service. In discussing voting rights this comment states that all people should be given equal access to voting rights and there should be no impediments in their doing so. Thus, freedom of movement, amongst other rights, should not be restricted because then the people's right to vote could be restricted and prevented by corrupt governments.
General Comment 27, Freedom of Movement (sixty-seventh session, 1999)This document provides an in depth look at the freedom of movement, its ramifications and even its restrictions. The Committee stated that freedom of movement is indispensable for the free development of a person and that this right interacts with several others in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This document states that all people shall have the freedom to choose where they reside. They also have the right to leave any country they choose, including their own. It lists restrictions that under exceptional circumstances that can potentially be placed on freedom of movement, and lastly, stipulates the right to enter one's own country. This "general comment" picks apart every section of article 12 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, further examining it from a legal standpoint. This document is one of the main documents referred to when examining in depth the freedom of movement and its boundaries.
General Comment 28, Equality of rights between men and women (2000)This comment deals specifically with article 3 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which states the equality of rights between men and women. This comment states in section 16 that states parties should provide any information on any legal practice or provision which restricts women's freedom of movement such as: the exercise of marital powers over ones wife and children or the issuance of travel documents to women. Subsequently, this comment calls for governments to repeal such laws giving women the same rights as men.
General Comment 29, States of Emergency (2001)This comment discusses exceptions from provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This comment is extremely important due to the fact that it provides limits too the work set forth in the Covenant itself. Measures derogating from the provisions of the Covenant must be of an exceptional and temporary nature. Before a state moves to invoke article 4, two fundamental conditions must be met: the situation must amount to a public emergency which threatens the life of the nation, and the State party must have officially proclaimed a state of emergency. However, the forcible removal of people from their places of residence is to be considered a crime against humanity (section 18d).
ILO Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of the Council of 15 October 1968 on Freedom of Movement for Workers within the CommunityThis document provides for the full protection of workers within their respective communities or across national borders as with the case of migrant workers. The International Labour Organization (ILO) considers freedom of movement is a fundamental right of workers and their families and the right of freedom of movement requires that equality of treatment shall be ensured by law and common belief in respect of all matters relating to the actual pursuit of activities as employed persons and to eligibility for housing, and also that obstacles to the mobility of workers shall be eliminated, in particular as regards the worker's right to be joined by his family and the conditions for the integration of that family into the host country. This document goes on to list the rights of workers and their families establishing the basic guidelines by which governments and corporations must respect their workers and thus ensure them freedom of movement in order to pursue what is best for themselves and their families.
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1979) (article 15)Discrimination against women violates the basic rights of respect for human dignity as well as equality. Article 15.4 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, better know by its abbreviation CEDAW, states that women shall be afforded the same right as men to choose their nation of residence as well as their place of residence within that nation.
Declaration on the Human Rights of Individuals Who are not Nationals of the Country in which They Live (1985) (article 5)This declaration establishes the basic rights of migrants, refugees and others who are not nationals of the country in which they reside. It stipulates that no restrictions can be placed on the freedom of movement of non-nationals. They cannot be forced to leave the country nor can they be prevented from moving around and choosing a residence within the borders of the country they are currently occupying.
International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of all Migrants Workers and Members of Their Families (1990) (article 8, 39)This human rights treaty recognizes and secures the need to bring about the international protection of the rights of all migrant workers and members of their families who in many cases have not been given adequate standards of living in the states they have chosen to migrate to and from. Migrant workers and their families shall have the right to move freely in the territory or state of their employment and subsequently have the right to choose their residence. These rights are not to be tampered with unless there is a legitimate threat posed to national security, public order, health, morals, or the rights and freedoms of others.
African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (1981) (article 12)The main human rights treaty on the African continent stipulates that every individual should have the right to move about freely within the borders of his/her state provided they are law-abiding citizens. In addition, every individual shall have the right to leave and return to his/her country at will unless national security, public health or the general population is threatened. Every individual has the right to seek asylum in another country and non-legal citizens may only be expelled from a nation in accordance with federal law. Lastly, the treaty prohibits mass expulsions of entire groups of people.
African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (1990) (article 13)Article 13 addresses the rights of handicapped children and stipulates that all states involved with this charter shall use their available resources to assure convenience and freedom of movement and access to public highways and other public transportation venues to mentally or physically disabled children.
Kampala Declaration on Intellectual Freedom and Social Responsibility (1990) (article 4) This declaration is intended mainly for the security of intellectuals and the freedom for education to exist and flourish within Africa itself. This declaration was written by intellectuals who were aware of the responsibility they had to the larger African community due to their status. Article 4 states that all intellectuals have the right to move freely within their country of origin or nationality and also have the right to move across borders without restrictions on this person's intellectual beliefs or activities.
Protocol No. 4 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, securing certain rights and freedoms other than those already included in the Convention and in the first Protocol thereto as amended by Protocol No. 11 (1963) (article 1, 2, 3, 4)This treaty outlines specifically the right of freedom of movement. It states that no one shall have his or her liberty taken away due to debt. It provides against the expulsion of nationals and of aliens and also reiterates the same stipulations put forth in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Recommendation 1373: Freedom of movement of and the issue of visas to members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (1998)This document was intended to make travel between member states of the Council of Europe easier. The recommendation acknowledges that obtaining travel documents can be very costly and that while it will not be possible in the immediate future to obliterate the need for such documents the ultimate goal of the Council of Europe should be free movement within all member states for all nationals of each separate country.
Arab Charter on Human Rights (1994) (article 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)The Arab Charter determines that citizens shall have the right to choose their residence freely within the territory of the state and in addition they have the right to move from state to state and shall be allowed to reenter their country of origin or nationality if they so choose. In addition citizens have the right to seek asylum in another country provided that they are not facing trial for a crime within their own nation.
National Assistance, Protection and Service Agencies
Countries which have ratified international and regional human rights treaties have agreed to meet their obligations under these conventions by inter alia implementing these provisions fully at the national level.
The Organization of Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) assists participating States to meet their commitments in the areas of freedom of movement and choice of place of residence, migration, and human contacts. Working primarily in Eastern Europe in countries such as Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan this organization works with other international organizations and NGOs to enhance the protection of rights and ensure non-discrimination of various categories of migrants. Conflicts in this region over the years have resulted in the displacement of over 7.5 million people and over the years OSCE has worked to implement programs to reform registration legislation, reform of border service, develop domestic training capacities, cross-border co-operation and develop information-sharing mechanisms, create new internally displaced persons legislation, develop new civil registration and internal migration legislation, and the develop new housing and property rights law for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), a key step in the resolution of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict.

On the first full week of each month this season, I'm going to rank the top 10 NBA players at each position based on how I expect them to perform in the coming month. If a player is injured and is expected to miss most of the month, then they probably won't make the list regardless of his value when healthy. I'll rank the point guards on Monday, the shooting guards on Tuesday… you get the picture. Your feedback is welcome, even if you want to tell me how incredibly, irredeemably clueless I am.
There are a whopping four new entries in this month's center list. None of the players who got bumped are performing poorly, per se. We've just been seeing some excellent play from this position lately.
10. (New entry) Brook Lopez, New Jersey Nets — 2010-11 stats: 63 GP, 34.9 MPG, 19.9 PPG, 1.5 APG, 6.0 RPG, 0.6 SPG, 1.6 BPG, .483 FG%, .000 3P%, .802 FT%, 18.9 PER
Do you think playing with Deron Williams has helped Brook Lopez's game? Since Williams played his first game with the Nets on February 25, Lopez has averaged 24.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. Somehow, Williams has helped Lopez remember how to rebound.
9. (5.) Andrew Bogut, Milwaukee Bucks — 2010-11 stats: 51 GP, 35.5 MPG, 12.5 PPG, 2.1 APG, 11.5 RPG, 0.6 SPG, 2.8 BPG, .479 FG%, .000 3P%, .413 FT%, 16.4 PER
Only two other players in NBA history have taken as many free throw attempts as Bogut (189) in a season at such a low percentage: Ben Wallace (twice) and Wilt Chamblerlain. Bogut's still suffering the effects from last season's fall that dislocated his elbow and broke his hand, as he can't fully extend his shooting arm.
8. (6.) Nene, Denver Nuggets — 2010-11 stats: 59 GP, 30.7 MPG, 15.1 PPG, 2.0 APG, 7.3 RPG, 1.1 SPG, 0.9 BPG, .629 FG%, .200 3P%, .747 FT%, 21.0 PER
If you exclude Danilo Gallinari's two games in Denver where he averaged 16 points per game, Nene is now the Nuggets' leading scorer. He's taken on a larger role in Denver's offense since Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups left town — which I'm sure we can agree is a good idea, considering that he leads the NBA in field goal percentage. More importantly, the Nuggets are 6-2 since the trade.
7. (New entry) Joakim Noah, Chicago Bulls — 2010-11 stats: 33 GP, 34.8 MPG, 12.8 PPG, 2.4 APG, 11.7 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 1.5 BPG, .516 FG%, .000 3P%, .716 FT%, 19.0 PER
Noah's conditioning and jumpshot haven't quite returned since he came back to the Bulls' lineup from thumb surgery on February 23, but coach Tom Thibodeau has called Noah's defense "phenomenal" and his rebounding in those eight games (11.6 per game) has been right on par with his season average.
6. (New entry) Al Jefferson, Utah Jazz — 2010-11 stats: 65 GP, 35.7 MPG, 18.7 PPG, 1.6 APG, 9.2 RPG, 0.6 SPG, 2.0 BPG, .503 FG%, .000 3P%, .773 FT%, 20.1 PER
In his last 10 games, Big Al has been putting up numbers that would make Karl Malone proud: 27.9 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. He's never going to be a good defender in the post, but that's what they're grooming Derrick Favors for. Considering that Jefferson is just 26 years old, Jazz fans have a lot to look forward to.
5. (4.) Tyson Chandler, Dallas Mavericks — 2010-11 stats: 59 GP, 27.7 MPG, 10.4 PPG, 0.4 APG, 9.4 RPG, 0.5 SPG, 1.1 BPG, .651 FG%, .000 3P%, .760 FT%, 19.0 PER
Dwight Howard is a lock for the All-Defensive First Team, but should Tyson Chandler be considered the favorite to make the second team? His effect on the Mavericks' defense is undeniable, but he needs to stay out of foul trouble if he's going to get his team over the hump in the playoffs — he logged five fouls in each of his last two games and only averaged 21 minutes in those games.
4. (3.) Andrew Bynum, Los Angeles Lakers — 2010-11 stats: 41 GP, 26.6 MPG, 11.3 PPG, 1.3 APG, 8.5 RPG, 0.3 SPG, 1.9 BPG, .573 FG%, .000 3P%, .691 FT%, 21.2 PER
When people talk about the "size problems" created by the Lakers' frontcourt, they're talking partially about Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom but what they're really referring to is the intimidating effect of man-mountain Andrew Bynum. When he's healthy and playing well, the Lakers are close to unbeatable — as we saw during their recent eight-game winning streak when he averaged 10.8 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game while the Lakers held their opponents to an average of 87 points per game.
3. (New entry) Amare Stoudemire, New York Knicks — 2010-11 stats: 63 GP, 36.9 MPG, 26.4 PPG, 2.6 APG, 8.3 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 2.0 BPG, .512 FG%, .455 3P%, .794 FT%, 23.9 PER
He's back to playing most of his minutes at center, which probably suits Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni just fine regardless of what Stoudemire thinks about it. He needs to be careful about technical fouls going forward even though the NBA rescinded the tech called on him on Thursday — his next T will be his 16th and will cause him to be suspended for one game.
2. (2.) Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks — 2010-11 stats: 60 GP, 35.2 MPG, 16.1 PPG, 3.6 APG, 9.9 RPG, 0.8 SPG, 1.0 BPG, .567 FG%, .500 3P%, .804 FT%, 22.2 PER
He's still playing out of position, and he's still better at that position than all but one other player in the NBA. Hawks coach Larry Drew says that Horford has started embracing a leadership role on the team: "He is taking that role of being one of the leaders on the team and not afraid to put the team on his back. … When he is playing with that kind of swagger and that kind of energy, you can see the other guys kind of latch on."
1. (1.) Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic — 2010-11 stats: 62 GP, 37.2 MPG, 23.0 PPG, 1.3 APG, 13.9 RPG, 1.2 SPG, 2.3 BPG, .599 FG%, .000 3P%, .588 FT%, 26.0 PER
Like Stoudemire, Dwight finds himself in technical jeopardy at this crucial stage of the season. He's already picked up his 16th technical foul and served a one-game suspension on Monday as the Magic predictably lost to the Trail Blazers. I've been backing Dwight for MVP consideration lately, but the Magic are five games behind Derrick Rose and the Bulls in the standings with 15 Orlando games remaining — meaning that Howard's chances of beating out Rose for the award are slim to none, and slim just bounced.

You always have such neat things going on. I wanted to ask you for ideas for valentines for my ladies group to make for shut-in folks from our church. I try to do something different each year. I think maybe we did teabag folding last year. I am having trouble coming up with a new idea. If you have any Valentine ideas rattling around in your brilliant brain, I would sure appreciate hearing about them. Thanks!! |

What is always amazing to me is that the flower is never mentioned!!!! It is a beautiful flower, similar to a wisteria flower. I know because in the late 1930's, Daddy planted a vine for a trellis in our yard. I could sit in the swing on the porch and smell the flowers. It never spread much, but after Daddy saw, in the north end of the county, that is was invasive he removed it from the yard. I guess it was there probably 8-9 years. |

CBS 2 - Search Results
Veteran Shares IC VA Success Story
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- New information shows almost 1,000 veterans in Iowa and Nebraska are still waiting for an appointment at one of three facilities in the region.
A report out Monday says over the last decade, 987 vets tried to get appointments and have still not been seen. 107 of those appointment requests are at the Iowa City VA
Nationwide, nearly 57,000 veterans have been waiting three months or more for medical appointments.
While the numbers are disturbing, there also are some glimpses of hope. One corridor veteran wanted us to let everyone know how the Iowa City VA has helped him.
For Orlando Smith, It comes down to faith - faith in God, faith in his country, and faith in the system.
"I definitely feel that if the VA hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you," he says.
Smith served in the Army from 1982 to 1986. He's been receiving annual checkups from the VA since 2003.
"They always take care of me," Smith says.
Those check-ups came in handy. Last November, during one of those visits, a biopsy on Smith revealed prostate cancer.
"Surgery was in February, and in March I developed a blood clot," he says. "I was let known that if it bursts and goes into your lungs...you could die."
Smith says quick action by VA doctors saved his life twice. As recent investigations nationwide have shown however, not every vet had received the same care.
"There's been any type of manipulation of schedules or manipulation of records, that to me is a criminal matter," says New York congressman Peter King.
The alleged abuse has King and other law makers - including Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley - demanding answers.
"We have to change the culture of these agencies," Grassley says.
On the other hand, there is Smith, who says the system has never failed him.
"I never waited more than the allotted time that was given for these appointments."
While he hopes for a quick resolution for veterans nationwide, his faith in Iowa's VA system - the one that saved his life - is unwavering.
"Your relatives that are veterans here in the state of Iowa...they will be well taken care of."

Sparking Change In Sao Paulo, Brazil
Mon 07 Jul 2014Story by Adriana Zamberlan and Nadia Cozzi
Grupo CoCriacao
The Co-Creation Group (Food and Sustainability Group CoCriacao), in S�o Paulo, Brazil objective bring information on nutrition and healthy cooking at home that arouses, educates and changes the way people eat.
We are what we eat
Everything that we eat becomes part of our body: the bones, the blood, the tissues and the essence of our more subtle biochemical metabolism. Our diets have a direct effect on our mood, temperament, impulses and thoughts. How we eat determines the quality of our life as a whole and our health in particular. That is why we focus on helping bring information about nutrition and healthful lifestyles to the public.
A meeting to spark change
On October 19th, 2013, we held the first Meeting of Web Sites, Blogs, Social Networks and Professionals of Healthy Feeding in Sao Paulo. With the support of the Council Members of Sao Paulo, we were able to bring together activists and health professionals for this amazing event. The focus of the event was to bring information to the public about how food is an important factor in maintaining the health and preservation of the environment. A table was set with a range of organic products, and the buffet served was fully sustainable.
Speakers at the event worked to raise awareness of the problems caused by transgenic and industrialized pesticides. They were chosen for their line of work and also because of their influence in social media, which enables the public to get involved and promotes knowledge about issues in this area. The topics covered included food supply in pregnancy, breastfeeding, the influence of food marketing, consumer rights and the problems of chemical additives, and genetically modified seeds and pesticides. The themes discussed at this first meeting were extensive, controversial and, above all, exciting. We made the most of the time by responding to questions from the audience formed by doctors, nutritionists, chefs, nutrition students, journalists and mothers.

About Group CoCriacao
Food and Sustainability Group CoCriacao began after Food Revolution Day 2013. We�ve promoted various activities and virtual meetings since then in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul. Since our creation, we noticed that the Food Revolution can�t be restricted to just one day. It is daily work, and we need to have the necessary information to make those healthful choices.
To conclude, we leave a thought: "When we label something or a person, we lose contact with its essence. When we label food, we lose its pure energy".

Arnold Schwarzenegger Wants to Terminate Fast and Furiously
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 27, 2011 | (2) CommentsAccording to Deadline Crystal Peak, Arnold Schwarzenegger has teamed up with Fast Five director Justin Lin to try to sell a new Terminator film with Schwarzenegger starring. The problems here are obvious. Why would the machines create a T-851 that looks like it's made out of Metamucil and beaten down by years of steroid use? Can Arnold still carry an action film, and if so, how much airbrushing will it take?
My guess is that the story will revolve around the machines sending a new T-model (Model T? I just got that) to a retirement community where John Connor's great-grandmother (who gives him the piece of advice that, years later, gives him the courage and wisdom to lead the resistance) plays canasta every Wednesday. The cyborg is about to easily dispatch the old woman, but she wins him over by offering him a Werther's Original. The staff mistakes him for a resident, and he begins puttering around the community, making friends and learning valuable life lessons. Sadly, he's destroyed when the old folks realize he's a machine, and they irrevocably damage him while trying to open an email attachment.
I'd go see it. Thanks, Schwarzenegger and Lin!
But seriously, isn't Jeremy Renner available?

The Venus Transit: Coming to a sky near you Tuesday!
Edinboro professor leads telescopic viewing efforts
06/04/2012EDINBORO, Pa. – On Tuesday, residents of Northwestern Pennsylvania will have the unique opportunity to witness an astronomical event that will not occur again for 105 years!
The opportunity for scientists and the general public to view the Transit of Venus won't come again until 2117.
According to local astronomers, such a transit occurs when the silhouette of Venus passes across the disc of the sun, an event akin to a very small eclipse. Tuesday's will be only the seventh in recorded history.
Since it is extremely dangerous to stare directly at the sun, residents of Northwestern Pennsylvania will be given a free viewing of the transit through telescopes fitted with safety filters and lenses. Local astronomers, including Edinboro University Professor David Hurd, will offer the free viewing for the whole family at Presque Isle State Park's Beach No. 7, starting at 6 p.m.
Coming in pairs, the last transit of this century occurred in 2004 with the alignment of the earth, Venus and the sun.
According to astronomers, Venus covers just one percent of the sun's visible surface. The transit was first observed in the 17th Century, as astronomers first used the event to determine the earth's distance from the sun.
"That was the Holy Grail of astronomy in the 18th and 19th Centuries," said Dr. Hurd, Professor of Geosciences and Planetarium Director at Edinboro. "If you could find that unit, you could calculate definitive distances. You could determine how far we are from the sun."
Dr. Hurd and Jim Gavio, Director of the Erie Planetarium, will be on hand at Beach No. 7 to assist with Tuesday's telescopic viewings.
At 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center, 301 Peninsula Drive, Dr. Hurd and Dr. Ed Halley, a professor from England, will share more about the historical significance of this event. The program is free, open to all ages, and no registration is required. After the TREC lecture, participants may drive out onto Presque Isle State Park and re-assemble at Beach No. 7 for the event.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Biscuit!
Facts about Biscuit
- Breed: Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Biscuit's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Biscuit is a neutered male Pomeranian mix, approx. seven years old. He will make a sweet, "lap baby" for the fortunate person who adopts him. Biscuit weighs about 18 lbs.
Other Pets at Capital District Humane Association
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Biscuit, a Loudonville Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog for sale in Loudonville, or seeking a Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog from a breeder in Loudonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Loudonville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Loudonville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog breeders who help with Pomeranian/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Loudonville paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Rubes and the Ruse
Michael Wolff, writing about the unseemly spectacle of Norman Podhoretz writhing in his long johns at a Sarah Palin concert, circles the phony populist note Podhoretz strikes in his Tea Party pandering:
He finds among conservatives a class bias when it comes to Palin. Now, there is no more haughty and snobby group of conservatives than the neocons, who, in a sense, get to maintain their haughtiness and status by, curiously, backing the most dim-witted Republican available.*
Podhoretz's rhetorical show of camaraderie with average Americans who shop at Wal-Mart and form Palin's fan base, as opposed to those snooty conservative intellectuals who use Arid Extra-Dry, is one of the baldest impostures he's ever tried to pull. Let us not forget that the major epiphany in his memoir Making It, the rainbow-arching money shot, came when he found himself attending a cultural conference at Huntington Hartford's luxurious Paradise Island resort. Hartford, one helluva host, not only footed the travel expenses of the attendees but put them up as guests, to partake of Paradise. Podhoretz:
...this is what Success looked like, all its various components brought together in one dazzling display, and the look of it made me drunker than all the gallons of rum I consumed that week. This was what it meant to be rich: to sleep in a huge bright room with a terrace overlooking a translucent green sea, to stretch one's arms idly by the side of a swimming pool and have two white-coated servants vie for the privilege of depositing a Bloody Mary into one's hand, to sign checks (which we had to do, though of course we would never have to pay them) without giving money a second thought. All around me, too, was the evidence of what it meant to be famous...
I looked upon those who possessed such fame [the kind of fame that in America was directly convertible into wealth], and I liked what I saw; I measured myself against them, and I did not fall short. "From now on," says a character in Clifford Odets' movie The Sweet Smell of Success, "The best of everything is good enough for me." I left Paradise Island with those words ringing in my head.
Ring-a-ding, and if Podhoretz has fallen short of his sultan fantasies he certainly hasn't been dining on Jimmy Dean pork sausage and polishing the pickup truck all those decades he's been living on the spiffy Upper East Side. His willingness to get funky with the Sarahphiles is like Marie Antoinette playing shepherdess, but more of a ruse. As Wolff indicates, the neocons are simply looking for a new host body and the Tea Party is as good as any.
*Related: Wilfrid Sheed, in a review of John Judis's biography of William F. Buckley:
Although to the plebian ear, the Buckleys may sound like the last word in Blue Bloods themselves, no one has done more than Bill and his movement to dispossess the real ones of the Republican throne and replace them with Sunbelt cads and adventurers.

Sin tax
A sin tax is a kind of sumptuary tax: a tax specifically levied on certain generally socially proscribed goods and services, for example alcohol and tobacco, candies, drugs, soft drinks, fast foods, coffee, and gambling.
Sumptuary taxes are ostensibly used for reducing transactions involving something that society considers undesirable, and is thus a kind of sumptuary law. Sin tax is used for taxes on activities that are considered socially undesirable. Common targets of sumptuary taxes are alcohol and tobacco, gambling, and vehicles emitting excessive pollutants. Sumptuary tax on sugar and soft drinks has also been suggested; see soda tax.[1] Some jurisdictions have also levied taxes on illegal drugs such as marijuana.[citation needed]
The revenue generated by sin taxes is sometimes used for special projects, but might also be used in the ordinary budget. American cities and counties have used them to pay for stadiums, while in Sweden the tax for gambling is used for helping people with gambling problems. Acceptance of sumptuary taxes may be greater than income tax or sales tax.
- Proponents[who?] argue that the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, the behaviors associated with consumption, or both consumption and the behaviors of consumption, are immoral or "sinful", hence the label "sin tax". By raising the cost for certain products (here called immoral), they aim to encourage change upon peoples' behavior.[citation needed]
- Tobacco and alcohol consumption has been linked to a variety of medical problems. In the United States alone, over 440,000 people die annually from smoking tobacco.[2] By making the cost of unhealthy behavior prohibitive, they hope to produce a healthier society.[citation needed]
- Following the medical argument, some argue[who?] that consumers of tobacco and alcohol cause a greater financial burden on society by forcing others to pay for medical treatment of conditions stemming from such consumption, especially in most first-world countries with government-funded healthcare, and should be taxed extra to pay for the costs of their treatment.[citation needed]
- The moral, medical and financial arguments are occasionally considered in contemporary news settings.[3]
- Sin taxes have historically triggered rampant smuggling and black markets, especially when they create large price differences in neighboring jurisdictions.[citation needed]
- Critics of sin tax argue[who?] that it is a regressive tax in nature and discriminates against the lower classes, since taxation of a product such as alcohol or cigarettes does not account for ability to pay, therefore poor people pay a greater amount of their income as tax.[4][5]
- Sin taxes are not normally value added in nature meaning that expensive, high-quality products more likely to be purchased by the wealthy will have the tax comprise a much smaller proportion of its final purchase price, thus ensuring that the lower classes pay a much greater proportion of their lower income in tax.[citation needed]
- Sin taxes fail to affect consumers' behaviors in the way that tax proponents suggest, for instance increasing smokers' propensity to smoke high-tar, high-nicotine cigarettes when the per-pack price is raised[6] and increasing the rate of people mixing their own drinks rather than buying pre-mix alcoholic spirits.[7]
- Critics[who?] also argue that the behavior affected by sin taxes are strictly personal and of no social consequence, and therefore should not be moderated by government.[citation needed]
- Not all research supports the idea that alcohol and tobacco consumers financially burden societies through health expenditures. One study used a mathematical model to compare estimated health costs of obese persons, tobacco smokers, and "healthy-living people". Until age 56, obese persons had the highest estimated annual health expenditure. Tobacco smokers older than this had the highest estimated health costs of all groups, but since life expectancy is shorter for smokers and the obese, the "lifetime health expenditure was highest among healthy-living people." The model for this study used input parameters based on data from the Netherlands.[8]
- The government may become reliant on the revenue from the tax and has to encourage "sinful" behavior in order to maintain the revenue stream.[9]

I've always had an affinity towards scarves. Whether they're silk, wool, cotton, or linen, worn in the frozen temps of winter or the scorching days of summer, I love their versatility and outfit-boosting qualities. My Mom gave me a box of her silk scarves (circa her 1980s working days at Intel) a few months before she passed, and I love that 30 years later they're still in style. I tend to use them mostly on handbags or as belts, but after seeing these photos I think I may need to incorporate them more so with outfits. Here are some of my favorite looks:
PS. My internal grammatical nag reared its ugly head while I was writing this post, specifically honing in on my use of scarves, causing me an abundance of self doubt and wondering if scarfs was in fact the proper spelling. However, it seems that the two can be used interchangeably, if dictionary.com is to be trusted :)

Sebastopol, CA (March 1, 2004) — Nutiva, a Northern California manufacturer of hemp food products, is planning to celebrate the hemp industry's historic 9th Circuit Court victory with three parties in California. Come enjoy delicious hemp foods and meet with like-minded people who realize the important role hemp will play in creating a more sustainable world. In the past three years, a variety of hemp food manufacturers and trade groups have gone to court to prevent the DEA from banning hemp foods, and these legal efforts have finally met with success.
The parties will be on March 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Farmer and the Cook on El Roblar Drive in Ojai 805-640-9608; on March 27 from 4 to 11 p.m. at Juliano's RAW, 609 Broadway Boulevard in Santa Monica 310-587-1552 ; and on April 10 from 8 to 11 p.m. At the Café Gratitude, 2400 Harrison at 20th in San Francisco 415-824-4652. Ten percent of all proceeds will go to support Votehemp.com legal efforts. For more details, visit http://www.nutiva.com .
"We at Nutiva are so excited about this latest court ruling, we decided to throw several hemp foods parties and invite our friends, customers, and associates," says Nutiva founder and president John W. Roulac. "The hemp foods industry is now ready to truly realize its vast potential" he adds.
Hempseed is the world's most nutritious seed—a rich source of Omega-3, GLA, vitamin E, and protein. With legal hurdles now removed, the makers of hemp foods can now concentrate on creating their potential billion-dollar hemp foods sector.
Nutiva Nourishes People and Planet
Nutiva is dedicated to a healthy and sustainable world for all, demonstrating its mission to nourish people and planet by using healthy organic ingredients, enriching the soil, and supporting worthy causes by donating 1 percent of sales to groups that promote sustainable agriculture. Founded in 1999, Nutiva offers nutritious organic hemp and flax food bars, hemp protein powder, hemp oil, shelled hempseed, and extra-virgin coconut oil nationwide through more than 2,000 natural food retailers, including Whole Foods Markets and Wild Oats.
