I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect!
My relationship with tea in a nut shell:
I'm married to straight Blacks. I have torrid love affairs with Oolongs. My BFF are Greens. I socialize more and more with Pu'erhs. I have distant White acquaintances that I visit once in a while. I party with Flavored!
Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others…
About me:
I am a free spirit, I let people be who and what they want to be and expect the same in return.
Books! I love French and classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.
As tea and books, music is something I can't live without! From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…
Art is food for the soul…I consume lots of it.
Animal and nature lover, I will never let a fury friend in needs.
I've been drinking tea for as long as I can remember. But since I'v joined Steepster, my tea knowledge has emancipated exponentially.
Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself "Camellia Sinensis" lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…
As for my rating system, well it's pretty much inexistent…Since I don't write many reviews, I try to focus on the good stuff and will usually review teas that left a big impression on me.
Not a big «swapper» but if we do get to swap together, you'll remember me, I live up to my Fairy reputation :-)
I love taking tea pics, here's my Instagram:
The Laurentians, Canada

Unknown German, Regensburg, about 1400 - 1410 Tempera colors on parchment 13 3/16 x 9 1/4 in. MS. 33, FOL. 13
A miniature showing the building of the Tower of Babel accompanies Rudolf von Ems's retelling of the Old Testament story. The dapperly dressed King Nimrod, at left, supervises the construction of the tower by workers. The building procedures probably mirror medieval practices closely. The laborers stand on wooden scaffolding with beams inserted into the walls through put holes. Two rows of put holes are visible below the windows, showing earlier stages of the scaffolding. The workers also hoist bricks and stone to the upper levels using a pulley system. The artist's representation of the technology and clothing of his own time was designed to make the biblical event more accessible to his audience. The bold colors and simple forms give the work an engaging vibrancy, which also draws in the viewer. These features of Bavarian art stand in contrast to the jewel-like color, linearity, and demure physical types of the International style that flourished in painting and manuscript illumination made for many European courts during the same years in which this manuscript was made.

Contact Bob Brammer - 515-281-6699.
Comment of the Attorney General's Office:
Friday, December 10, 2004
Polk County officials contacted our office on the issue of preemption.
I strongly support local restrictions on selling meth precursors -- it is a good start, and good local efforts like this just demonstrate that the Legislature needs to enact such restrictions statewide.
The dramatic results from similar regulations are more and more clear. Restrictions make it harder for meth cookers to get the crucial ingredients. That leads to fewer meth labs, fewer kids exposed to dangerous meth ingredients, and more time for law enforcement to tackle other important problems.
This initiative will encourage still more cities and counties to take positive action to curb the meth-lab problem. And it sends a message to state lawmakers that we need to tackle this problem statewide.
Critics sometimes argue that restrictions will hamper consumers' access to cold medicines. This will give us a chance to see whether that's a problem or not.

hello everyone,
I was wondering what music would be good to work out to. What are your favorite songs to listen to while doing your exercises? Also do any of you have any suggestions about your favorite type of MP3 players?

If you walk, marching band music is great. You just have to walk to the beat! No choice! |

Good question. I'd like to know too. "Flashdance" and "Gloria" are two that come to mind that I like. Also "Let's get physical" is good. I also like Neil Diamond's "America". I have a SanDisk MP3 player. Not one with a large capacity, it only holds about 60 songs (4 hours worth) but it does quite nicely. The quality of the music is good and the earphones are comfortable. It is very easy to load and delete songs.....copy and paste technique. My twins' ipod is a little more complicated to use. She has a better one with a large memory card and wanted to put her songs in directories. It took awhile for she and her DH to figure it out. |
I think it depends on what you do. If I'm doing weights, I don't like to listen to any music as I'm focusing on lifting. However, I find cardio boring so I like to either watch t.v. or listen to music. This isn't pure music, but for cardio, I find that using one of the Cardio Coach mp3s really speeds the time away. I have a Sanyo MP3 player, which is nice in that it's expandable (has a 512MB flash, plus a spot for a SD (I think) card. However, I am lusting after an IPOD shuffle, so I can download from itunes. |
Check this out - www.championo2cool.com - they've got playlists set up by professional trainers, and you can search on lists submitted by members for different excercise types. Would ya'll mind downloading your playlists there since you have lots of good ideas! Thanks. |

the Best of Janet Jackson works for me....her ab's are an inspiration |
Believe it or not. I love to listen to enya while working out on the treadmill and bike. because i can close my eyes (if i hold on) and zone out. And sorta like meditate and walk at the sametime. And when i open my eyes i see 10 minutes has gone by. While circut training i listen to up up-beat music, like Rihanna, Fergy, or stuff like that |
I like techno and metal... if I'm listening to music, I'm usually trying to force myself to keep a steady tempo. My mp3 player isn't my first choice for recreational use, but for the gym, it's pretty good. It's about 1"x2", maybe 1/3" thick, and came with a comfortable armband that I'll actually use. It's a Creative Zen player, 1G (about $85) - which is plenty for me, I keep all my files on my h/d and mix them up when I feel the need. |
Benny Goodman. I like to walk to it and the music puts a smile on my face. |
oh I'm more hardcore as far as my music. I have rage against the machine, white zombie, white stripes (7 nation army really gets me moving), some jane's addiction, supernova, a little bit of pantara etc... |
- Posted by gypsyjanelowe (My Page) on Mon, Feb 5, 07 at 3:44
try scorpions, queen, or themes from rocky, the movie, they're hilarious and make you feel you're in some wacky movie |
I've rediscovered Canned Heat. They were a sixties "boogie band." Even on those evenings when I'm too tired to exercise, I can listen to Canned Heat and do 45 minutes on the elliptical just because their music's so much fun to work out to. |

How to SIFF: An insider's guide to the festival
FAQ for patrons of Seattle International Film Festival, 2011. It includes information on tickets, parking and the always-enigmatic Secret Festival.
Seattle Times movie critic
Got questions? Here's a SIFF FAQ. Other answers can be found on www.siff.net.
Where do I find a printed SIFF guide?
SIFF's glossy guide, complete with a full schedule handy for carrying around and marking up, can be picked up at any festival venue or at participating Starbucks outlets.
What's the ticket protocol?
SIFF's main box office is open on the second level of Pacific Place, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays, noon-6 p.m. Sundays and Memorial Day. You can also buy tickets and passes by phone at 206-324-9996 or online — usually the quickest way to get tickets — at www.siff.net. Exceptions are Secret Festival passes, Student/Senior Reel Deal discounts, Teen Tix (day of show only) and gift certificates, which need to be transacted in person at the box office. Telephone and online orders are subject to a $1.25 handling charge per ticket, capped at $5; no handling charge for in-person orders.
You can pick up Will Call tickets or buy individual tickets at any SIFF theater (it doesn't have to be the theater in which your film will show). Day-of-show tickets can be purchased online or by phone up to 30 minutes before showtime, as well as at any SIFF venue; check www.siff.net to see if a screening has tickets available.
A bargain option is a Cinematic Six-Pack (six admissions, $57) or a Film Buff 20-Pack (20 admissions, $180), both of which offer savings over the usual $11 per-screening price. You'll need to choose shows in advance for these packages. What if the movie I want is sold out?
Some popular titles will sell out their ticket allotment in advance — but that doesn't mean you can't get in. Generally at least a handful of tickets become available 10 minutes before the movie; go and wait in the standby line outside the venue (earlier is better) and you might luck out. Note that standby tickets are full price and cash-only.
Where to park?
Take the bus — please. Festival venues are served by numerous bus lines, helpfully listed on the venue pages at www.siff.net.
If you must drive, you'll pay dearly for the privilege — in downtown Seattle anyway. The best deal I know, if you want to park all day, is the Harvard Garage at the corner of Harvard and Pine, across from the Egyptian, which costs $7 for the day and/or evening, seven days a week. You can walk to the Harvard Exit and Pacific Place from here, if you don't mind a bit of a hike (approximately eight blocks and 10 blocks, respectively). Note that the lot is not open to the public until noon Monday-Friday.
Pacific Place, at Sixth Avenue and Pine Street downtown, is $6 in the evening (entering after 5 p.m.) for four hours or fewer but is much pricier in the daytime or if you stay more than four hours. The Mercer Garage on Queen Anne is convenient for SIFF Cinema — just across the street, with a covered walkway — but prices vary, from $9 to $15 for up to 10 hours.
Better deals are available out of town: At Kirkland Performance Center (hosting SIFF June 2-12), free parking is available for up to four hours at the Kirkland Library's Municipal Garage, about half a block west of the theater. The Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center (a new venue this year; May 20-26) has a free 150-spot parking lot; if it's full, a city lot on the next block offers free parking for the first two hours. At the Everett Performing Arts Center (May 26-June 2), there's no free lot parking but street parking is generally plentiful, as is true for West Seattle's Admiral Theater (open for the full run of SIFF this year, May 20-June 12).
How early do I need to get in line?
Depends on whether you have an attachment to a certain seat. Ticket holders are guaranteed a seat up to 10 minutes before the screening, so there's no need to be early if you don't care where you sit. Passholders, however, should plan on being early; seats are not guaranteed (except for platinum or gala passes) but virtually always available if you're in line 30 minutes before the film.
Can I bring in a sandwich?
The official rule from SIFF is no outside food in the venues. If you simply must, be discreet. Or eat while waiting in line.
What's the Secret Festival?
SIFF newcomers are probably most mystified by the Secret Festival, which veteran festgoers tend to shroud in a maddeningly superior "I'd love to tell you about it, but I can't" attitude.
Here's the deal: Movies at the Secret Fest (every SIFF Sunday at 11 a.m., Egyptian) come from a variety of sources: perhaps an early showing of something up-and-coming, a film that's tied up in litigation and can't be shown otherwise, a film that's making its "official" premiere someplace else, or a lost classic. You might be overwhelmed, you might be underwhelmed.
In any case, you have to buy a Secret Festival pass from the SIFF box office ($53 for four movies; no individual tickets), and sign an Oath of Silence, meaning that you won't tell anyone what you've seen. Hence the maddening vagueness. SIFF is actually quite serious about enforcing it (understandably, as the availability of the movies depends on keeping them a secret), so don't go telling.

When the whole BPA=bad trend started, I traded in my plastic water bottles for stainless steel. That didn't last long because I hate the metallic flavor even lined stainless bottles add to the water. Then I noticed that companies were starting to come out with glass water bottles so I gave them a try. The first generation broke too easily, so I was pleased when companies started adding silicon sleeves to make them more sturdy.
I won't name names, but I spent way too much on glass water bottles with silicon sleeves but leaky caps. So I was really excited to see that Aquasana has a reasonably priced reusable glass water bottle with a silicon sleeve in a variety of pretty colors. I decided to give one a try.
After the first day, I decided I was a big fan of my Aquasana Glass Bottle with Silicone Sleeve and Cap. I really like the 18 oz size, and it's the right diameter to fit in my car's drink holder. The mouth size is big enough to get a bottle brush in for cleaning, but not so big that the water sloshes out when I gulp it down. They are dishwasher safe and you can use them with hot liquids. I like that the silicone sleeve keeps my tea warm while keeping my hands insulated from the heat.
I'm a little worried about the cap, because it seems a little flimsy compared to other ones I've seen. For regular use I'm sure it's fine, but if you stepped on it, it would totally break. At least they sell replacement caps and the size is standard, so I'm not too worried (I randomly tried a cap from a glass kombucha bottle and it fit perfectly). Plus, at $9.99 a bottle, I can buy two bottles for the price of one from the leading competitor.
Aquasana has a wide range of water filters for your house, too. Our latest water report said there is a high level of Arsenic in the drinking water, so I'm thinking a filter for the whole house would be nice. Or, at least for the kitchen sink. They're having a big sale for the month of July, so now would be a great time to try it out!
Now on to the giveaway! We are giving away an Aquasana 18oz. Glass Water Bottle to two lucky readers. You can enter up to four times! Each comment counts as an entry entry:
This contest ends on Tuesday, July 23th, and is only open to U.S. Residents.
Thanks for the info about this great water bottle!
I learned from the Aquasana website that they also sell water bottles in sets of 6 but that you have to purchase the silicone sleeves separately. However, you can also get a six pack of those.
but it's a better deal to buy them individually
I am a bit of a water bottle freak. I have gone through so many trying to find the perfect bottle. I would love to give this a try!

Here is my first comment =)
Liked Green baby Guide on Facebook.
Liked aquasana on facebook too.
I like the sturdy look of the bottle. Do you know of any reason why it wouldn't be microwave safe?
I use glass bottles for my wee one, why wouldn't I use one for myself?!
I also like the silicone sleeves and koozies for your bottle accessory.
Nancy, I don't know why it's not microwave safe. I asked their customer service and that's what he said. Maybe the silicone sleeve and cap aren't, but it seems the bottle would be.
Thanks for the chance! Love this bottle!
I visited their site & I found the Filter + Softener Combos interesting. I would love to install that in our home.
I've been thinking about getting one of these!

Several years ago God gave us a vision for some new ministry initiatives in West Chicago. In September 2008, the dream became a reality. That was when WBC and Iglesia del Pueblo embarked on a three-year ministry pilot program, Puente del Pueblo, based out of the Timber Lake Apartment Complex in West Chicago. We invite you to be part of this important ministry.
The success of this ministry, of our bridge building, depends upon volunteers, people who know God's grace, love and justice and are eager to share it.
Our goal is to equip and mobilize as many WBC'ers as we can on a disciple-making mission. We do this by sending our people out into the community to build relationships through service and doing life together. And our hope is that through these relationships we will have an opportunity to share the message of God's love and saving truth. Most of our relationship building is with people in the community who are at risk: refugees, immigrants, migrants, the economically challenged, children, families, singles, divorcees, abused, etc… This is hard work!
We want you to be as prepared as possible.
Step 1: Connect - Give us a call or send us an email! We would love to answer your questions and help you find a ministry opportunity that is right for you!
Step 2: Apply – All volunteers for Hunger Team, Refugee Resettlement and Puente del Pueblo must complete a volunteer application process which includes an application, interview and background and reference checks. Big Buddies will apply through Outreach Community Ministries. There is no application necessary for the adoption ministry.
Step 3: Training – Volunteers interested in serving with Refugee Resettlement, Puente del Pueblo and Hunger Team must attend a Transformational Development workshop. These are held about four times a year and include a free lunch! This workshop will equip you to think Biblically about building relationships with and serving the vulnerable in DuPage County. After you attend the TD training, Hunger Team, Refugee Resettlement and Puente del Pueblo will have their own separate follow up trainings(s) for you to attend.
Puente del Pueblo (PdP) literally means, "Bridge of the People" and it reflects our vision of people reaching out to people in the community. An outreach of Wheaton Bible Church and Iglesia del Pueblo, in partnership with Outreach Community Ministries, PdP aims to serve the residents of the Timber Lake Apartments of West Chicago. The goal is to build a strong sense of community by assisting people in making changes that benefit their personal, family and community lives. PdP does this through case management services for families and an after school program for children, Puente del Nino, at Wegner Elementary School.
Our after-school program serves nearly 50 first through sixth graders at Wegner School from 2:45–5:30 pm every day that school is in full session.
Helping students understand their homework.
Activities designed to improve reading, writing, math, and spelling.
Sports, art class, Christian education, and other activities provide opportunities to develop decision making skills, cooperate with others, choose positive behavior, and learn other life lessons.
During the summer months, Puente offers weekly summer programs, which have included: Baseball Camp, Soccer Camp, Water-Play Camp, Sleep-Away Camp (in Wisconsin), Club Puente, and Back-to-School Camp.
Contact: , After-school Coordinator, 630.876.6683
Our after-school program for Timber Lake residents in seventh to ninth grade. Held at our onsite facility in Timber Lake complex, the program goals are similar to Puente del Niño's, with special attention to the needs of adolescents. Puente del Futuro is the next step in our long-term desire to "grow up" with the kids of Timber Lake and eventually to offer a college opportunity program.
Contact: , Youth After-School Coordinator, 630.876.6689
In their country of origin, many of our adult residents never had the opportunity to attend school, or learn to read and write. Puente offers free classes (students pay only for books) to those interested in learning to read and write in Spanish. Classes meet once each week for 2½ hours. Basic math, and in some cases other primary subjects, are available as well.

Could you survive a disaster here?
Hurricane Katrina has made one thing clear: If disaster strikes, you could be on your own — for a very long time. After a major earthquake...
Times consumer-affairs Reporters
Hurricane Katrina has made one thing clear: If disaster strikes, you could be on your own — for a very long time.
After a major earthquake or other disaster, it could be a week before meaningful, significant government help is available, said Eric Holdeman, director of King County's Office of Emergency Management.
Imagine a 7.4-magnitude earthquake here, Holdeman said. Unlike a hurricane, it strikes without warning. Families are separated. Homes and buildings collapse. The Alaskan Way Viaduct crumbles. Floating bridges and all major highways are out of commission.
"You tell me — how are we going to come to the aid of people?" Holdeman asked. "How do you move?"
"There's no way in this type of disaster that we're going to be able to do a whole lot better" than what people have seen in the wake of Katrina, he said.
So your very survival could depend on how well you prepared for the worst.
It's a matter of personal responsibility, said Mike Eagan, spokesman for the American Red Cross of King and Kitsap Counties. People need to recognize that "they can't rely on the government to extricate them from their homes" unless it's a life-threatening situation, Eagan said.
Getting people to prepare for a disaster is like selling life insurance to a 17-year-old, one disaster-planning expert said. Too many people think:
It won't happen.
It won't be that bad.
I can't do anything about it anyway.
But now that Katrina has your attention, the experts want you to know this: Yes, it will happen. And yes, you can do something.
Taking one small step toward disaster preparation could go a long way toward ensuring your survival.
Virginia Cyr, 80, watched coverage of Hurricane Katrina with growing concern about the stash of bottled water and canned food in the basement of her West Seattle home.
In an emergency, she's not sure she could get to her supplies.
"The last time I came down the stairs, it was pretty hard to do," she said. "I don't believe I'm prepared, and I'm thinking that I'd better start doing something."
After the Nisqually earthquake in 2001, Cyr put together the supply of water and food in her basement. She took photos of everything that was important to her so she could make an insurance claim. She started carrying her sons' contact information with her.
Although Cyr's preparations barely meet emergency experts' minimum recommended preparations, she's better prepared than many.
Surveys find that people tend to overrate their level of disaster preparedness, Holdeman said.
The 6 must-do's
If you do nothing else,
do these six things
to prepare for a disaster:
• Talk about preparedness
with everyone in your home.
• Have an out-of-area contact.
• Secure appliances and address hazards in your home.
• Create a three-day disaster kit in a duffel bag or backpack.
• Keep your gas tank
at least a quarter full.
• Keep a modest amount
of cash.
Source: King County Office
of Emergency Management
"People say, 'I have a flashlight — somewhere — some food, and five gallons of water left over from Y2K.' That's not what preparation looks like," he said. "Wishing away the worst-case disaster is not a good contingency plan. What you do today will determine how comfortable you are and how well you survive this."
You and neighbors may be on your own
The 6.8-magnitude Nisqually quake, on Feb. 28, 2001, injured 410 people and caused more than $2 billion in damage. It was a wakeup call for some, but it left others with a false sense of security.
"The danger is people think that's the one we're preparing for," Eagan, of the Red Cross, said. "The real one will be 10 times worse."
In such a catastrophe, it will be seven days before meaningful, significant government help is available, Holdeman said. People who are particularly vulnerable in a disaster — because of poverty, disability or language barriers — could number in the hundreds of thousands, he said.
"We're going to have to spend time on those who emotionally, financially weren't able to be prepared," he said.
And that makes it critical that those who can prepare, do.
"If they have to look for people like you and me, it takes away from the people who truly need life-saving help," Eagan said.
Yet disaster experts try to balance the "you're on your own" message with another important piece of advice: Meet your neighbors.
A key to survival after a disaster is for neighbors to take responsibility for helping each other out, said LuAn Johnson, a disaster-planning expert who used to run Seattle's neighborhood-preparedness program.
That requires planning and conversation so that "when the world is turned upside down," Johnson said, someone thinks to check on elderly neighbors or others who may need extra help.
"Helping each other is always going to be easier than riding it out by yourself," said Barb Graff, director of emergency management for Seattle. "People say, 'Who's got time to meet the neighbors?' This has to be your moment. [Hurricane Katrina] is the topic over which to meet your neighbors."
Preparation workshops
Free one-hour clinics, sponsored by Seattle Project Impact and State Farm Insurance, are planned at several Puget Sound-area Home Depot stores through January.
Topics will include how to bolt a house to its foundation and how to secure water heaters, bookshelves and other heavy objects. Call 877-2-BOLT-IT or go to www.seattle.gov/projectimpact/ for more information and to find out about additional classes.
The following clinics start at 9 a.m.:
Seattle: Saturday, 115th and Aurora Avenue North
Tacoma: Oct. 15, 7050 Tacoma Mall Blvd.
Tukwila: Nov. 12, 6810 S. 180th St., Tukwila
Everett: Dec. 10, 11915 Highway 99
Kent Jan. 14, 26120 104th Ave. S.E.
Create disaster kit one step at a time
It's easy to be overwhelmed by the idea of creating a disaster-survival kit to sustain you and family or friends for three days or more.
So take it slow, experts advise.
Put a supply list on the refrigerator, and every time you go to the grocery or hardware store, do one thing on the list, Graff said.
The Washington Insurance Council encourages people donating to hurricane-relief efforts to give themselves a "matching contribution," money set aside to prepare their own homes for an emergency.
Having disaster supplies "is what people get hung up on, all the stuff you could pack a pickup truck with," Graff said. Instead, think of yourself as a "mobile camper — what's the basic minimum you'd want to go camping with?"
The official national standard is to have enough food and water for three days. But "that wasn't half the time it took to get outside assistance" to many hurricane victims in the South, Eagan noted.
Some local experts now suggest that perhaps a week's worth of supplies is better.
And some say: Why stop there?
Bottled water lines one wall of Paul and Pat Tucker's garage in Lake City, and each family member has a backpack stocked with food, toilet paper, books, medication and emergency blankets.
The Tuckers keep a helmet, flashlight and sturdy shoes under each bed, and carry cards listing their out-of-state contacts. Pat Tucker plans to give her three grown children emergency kits for Christmas this year, she said.
Their church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, urges members to have a year's supply of food and 72 hours' worth of essentials on hand. But recent disasters also drew the Tuckers into a local group called SDART, or Seattle Disaster Aid and Response Teams.
Now their entire neighborhood has a plan.
Despite their preparedness, Pat Tucker said that after watching the hurricane coverage, "actually my husband and I looked at each other and said, 'You know, we really need to go through our 72-hour kits.' "
She suspects some of the peanut butter in there has expired.

Hi, all. I'm a mother of two who does not know how to cook!! I get by on grilled meat and steamed veggies, but that's about it. I decided to check out this site when my husband informed me that it was strange that I didn't like to cook because "most women find cooking theraputic". I told him that most men who say things like that end up floating face down in one of the great lakes!!!! lol
fave. dish to cook would be barbequed chicken breats because, frankly, that's all I know how to do!! I am also extremely picky and am trying to lose weight. Because I hate steamed veggies, and this is the only way I know how to cook them, I'm having a hard time. Any recipes on low fat veggie dishes that do not include strange veggies that I've never heard of, or peppers, asparagus, or zucchini, cucumbers or carrots, cabbage, tomatoes......I hate most veggies! Anyway, I am looking for recipes.

My name is SADIE V!
Facts about SADIE V
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Tibetan Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
SADIE V's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
My name is SADIE V, and I am the cutest little dog you have ever seen. We think I am Jack Russell Terrier and Tibetan Terrier mix, with the cutest little face in the world! My coat is rough and tan and white. I am the brightest little girl ever! What's not to love about me? I have been spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and all my shots are current. I love children of all ages, and I get along well with male dogs. I've never been around cats, so we don't know if I would like cats or not. I have just turned two years old according to my vet, but I might be younger. I am completely housetrained and crate trained, and I LOVE to ride in the car. I am extremely well mannered, and I love everyone. I was found several months ago with a broken leg from a car accident, and the kind lady who found me worked for an animal hospital, so she took me there where I have recovered completely. I am in perfect health and am ready to go to a wonderful new home. Could that be your home? Have you been waiting for me? Well, I'm here and ready to go with my little suitcase all packed. My adoption fee is $300. Please emaill Sue at email@example.com or call her at 480-391-9837 for an Application for Adoption. Then come and meet me. Everyone says that I am the sweetest, cutest little dog they have ever seen. Take a look at this face!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
SADIE V, a Scottsdale Jack Russell Terrier/Tibetan Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Tibetan Terrier for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Tibetan Terrier dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale 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 Jack Russell Terrier/Tibetan Terrier breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Tibetan Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

I am slowly getting plants from the swap put in the ground. Below is a photo that shows Jill's hydrangea Nikko Blue that she gave me (left). Next to it is a new hydrangea Lady in Red I bought today at Marvins. They have a lot of stuff on sale and this Lady in Red is a very nice hydrangea. In front of these are three hosta Undulata that were divided from one big clump. As the Nikko Blue grows and the hostas fill in, this should look very nice. I plan to add more complimentary plants next year. Thanks for the hydrangea Jill! |

The reason for the drop is clear, Graves said.
"The price is off $2 a carton from last year," he said. "Movement's been good, but prices are low."
On July 16, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $13-15 for 40-pound cartons of No. 1 orange-flesh sweet potatoes from North Carolina, comparable to last year at the same time.
Markets were already beginning to tighten in the first half of July because of low storage supplies in Mississippi and Louisiana, Wooten said.
As of July 12, about 80% of the Mississippi crop was in "excellent" shape, while the balance checked in at "fair," Graves said. That's a good ratio for that time of year.
"At this point in time we feel good about the crop," he said. "We've had some timely rains."
Harvest will likely start about Sept. 1, about a week later than usual, Graves said. Volume shipments should start about Sept. 15.
Despite the lower acreage, Mississippi growers are confident they'll have enough product to meet customers' needs in 2013-14, Graves said.

noun \im-ˈpir-ē-ə-ˌli-zəm\: a policy or practice by which a country increases its power by gaining control over other areas of the world
: the effect that a powerful country or group of countries has in changing or influencing the way people live in other, poorer countries
Full Definition of IMPERIALISM
Examples of IMPERIALISM
- British imperialism created the enormous British Empire.
First Known Use of IMPERIALISM
Other Government and Politics Terms
Rhymes with IMPERIALISM
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)State policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Because imperialism always involves the use of power, often in the form of military force, it is widely considered morally objectionable, and the term accordingly has been used by states to denounce and discredit the foreign policies of their opponents. Imperialism in ancient times is clear in the unending succession of empires in China, western Asia, and the Mediterranean. Between the 15th century and the middle of the 18th, England, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain built empires in the Americas, India, and the East Indies. Russia, Italy, Germany, the United States, and Japan became imperial powers in the period from the middle of the 19th century to World War I. The imperial designs of Japan, fascist Italy, and Nazi Germany in the 1930s culminated in the outbreak of World War II. After the war the Soviet Union consolidated its military and political control of the states of eastern Europe (see Iron Curtain). From the early 20th century the U.S. was accused of imperialism for intervening in the affairs of developing countries in order to protect the interests of U.S.-owned international corporations (see United Fruit Co.). Economists and political theorists have debated whether imperialism benefits the states that practice it and whether such benefits or other reasons ever justify a state in pursuing imperialist polices. Some theorists, such as Niccolò Machiavelli, have argued that imperialism is the justified result of the natural struggle for survival among peoples. Others have asserted that it is necessary in order to ensure national security. A third justification for imperialism, offered only infrequently after World War II, is that it is a means of liberating peoples from tyrannical rule or bringing them the blessings of a superior way of life. See also colonialism; sphere of influence.

text: it looks like it could be a version of it. I've found an online source showing a mark v mount which is very similar in terms of it's counter springing system, but instead of going straight to the base, it's mounted on the back of a chair which is then mounted into the base. the plot thickens!

Tune-up kits keep your mower running its best
If you want to keep your mower running at optimal levels, then invest in tune-up kits for your yard tractor or walk-behind mower. Sears offers a variety of tune-up kits to use with your Craftsman and other popular name brand lawn mowers. A Craftsman tune-up kit contains everything from air filters to fuel stabilizer, so you can prevent debris from entering the engine and increase your mower's power in one kit. We also have spark plugs and oil filters available to maximize your engine's performance each cutting season.
When fine-tuning your mower, check for damage on your mower blades. Blades dull with constant use, and rocks cause nicks and damage to the blade as you mow. A new Craftsman mower blade has a sharp edge to cut the grass evenly and cleanly, and you can find Craftsman and Oregon blades for your particular size cutting deck. We also carry Craftsman dethatching blades that remove unwanted thatch and weed clumps from your lawn. For cutting and mulching, install the Craftsman mulching and bagging blade to slice the grass into fine particles and lift them up into the bagger.
Having plastic or metal lawn mower gas cans in your garage ensures you have fuel on hand in case your mower runs dry. Invest in the 5-gallon Briggs & Stratton plastic gas can, and fill up at the station before cutting the grass. With a larger gas can, you spend less time visiting the gas station during your mowing sessions. We also have Best Choice Products 30-gallon gas caddies to store in your garage or workshop. For smaller push mowers, a 2-gallon Eagle-MFG gas can should provide enough fuel for multiple cuttings.
Although you need gas to power the engine, you also need lawn mower oil to protect the engine from overheating and friction. You can invest in tune-up kits that contain oil and filters, but consider buying Explorer lawn mower oil in bulk if you cut the grass more than three months out of the year. We have 2- and 4-cycle engine oil depending on your riding mower or push mower, and you have access to Craftsman high-performance fuel that optimizes the engine and prolongs your mower's life. Whether you need SAE 30 motor oil or Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer, find what you need to keep your mower operating efficiently.
Give your mower an increase in power and performance with Craftsman tune-up kits. Invest in new mower blades for a cleaner cut, and always have enough gas for your mowing session with a Briggs & Stratton gas can. Look to Sears for the largest collection of name brand lawn mowers and affordable mower accessories for your residential and commercial needs.

Kindle Screen Saver Hack for all 2.x, 3.x & 4.x Kindles
Many thanks to clarknova (screen saver hack), porkupan (jailbreak hack) and NiLuJe (revised jailbreak and screen saver hacks).
Note: Amazon does not support 3rd party hacks and may void your warranty should anything go wrong. Exercise caution and use at your own risk. Only the user will be responsible for the results (good or bad).
Please visit NiLuJe's Fonts & ScreenSavers hacks for Kindles thread on MobileRead. This is the jailbreak and screen saver hack I will be describing.
WARNING: Use at your own risk! This is an UNOFFICIAL update to allow custom Kindle Screen Savers. This file is NOT from Amazon.com and any harm it causes your Kindle will be your own fault.
Software: Fonts & ScreenSavers hacks for Kindle 2.x, 3.x & 4.x
Contents |
[edit] Which Kindle Do You Have
Check the Kindle Serial Numbers page for detailed instructions. In particular, the Nicknames column will be the key to pinpointing the exact update file you'll have to use.
[edit] How to install the Jailbreak Hack
Note for Kindle 4 Users:
Please skip this section and refer to the Wiki instead.
Note for Kindle Touch/PaperWhite/PaperWhite 2 Users:
While this is out of the scope of this specific wiki page, know that all of this is also possible for your device! Look at the K5 thread for more information.
1) Download and unzip the kindle-jailbreak-0.13.N.zip file. [Note: If you have used the jailbreak previously on your Kindle (when installing the font hack), there is no need to re-install it].
Note for Kindle 3.0.x, 3.1.x & 3.2 Users:
Please use the file corresponding to your kindle model suffixed by -3.0-to-3.2, the other one won't work on these older FW versions, while this one won't work on newer FW versions. Check your Settings page if you're unsure of what FW your Kindle is running.
"Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k2_install.bin" - Kindle 2 US "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k2i_install.bin" - Kindle 2 International "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_dx_install.bin" - Kindle DX US "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_dxi_install.bin" - Kindle DX International "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_dxg_install.bin" - Kindle DX Graphite "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3g_install.bin" - Kindle 3 3G US "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3w_install.bin" - Kindle 3 WiFi "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3gb_install.bin" - Kindle 3 3G UK "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3g-3.0-to-3.2_install.bin" - Kindle 3 3G US (Only if running FW <= 3.2.0) "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3w-3.0-to-3.2_install.bin" - Kindle 3 WiFi (Only if running FW <= 3.2.0) "Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3gb-3.0-to-3.2_install.bin" - Kindle 3 3G UK (Only if running FW <= 3.2.0)
2) Attach your Kindle to a computer using the USB cable. Copy the appropriate jailbreak bin file to the root of your Kindle.
3) Safely eject & unplug your Kindle from your computer. To update your Kindle with jailbreak bin from the home page, click Menu > Settings > Menu > Update Your Kindle. If "Update Your Kindle" is grayed out, you either did not put the bin file in the root folder or used the wrong file for your Kindle.
On FW 2.x only, the jailbreak update process will FAIL (with a U006 error in the lower left corner of the screen) but that's okay, it's supposed to. :)
To remove the jailbreak (if you somehow want to get rid of it... There's no practical reason to do this though ;)) use the same process described substituting the appropriate "uninstall" bin file.
[edit] How to install the Screen Saver Hack (Does Not Work For Kindles With Special Offers)
Note for Kindle Touch/PaperWhite/PaperWhite 2 Users:
While this is out of the scope of this specific wiki page, know that all of this is also possible for your device! Look at the K5 thread for more information.
1) Download and unzip the kindle-ss-0.45.N.zip file.
2) Attach your Kindle to a computer using the USB cable.
3) Copy the appropriate ss bin file to the root of your Kindle.
"Update_ss_0.45.N_k2_install.bin" - K2 US "Update_ss_0.45.N_k2i_install.bin" - K2 International "Update_ss_0.45.N_dx_install.bin" - Kindle DX US "Update_ss_0.45.N_dxi_install.bin" - Kindle DX International "Update_ss_0.45.N_dxg_install.bin" - Kindle DX Graphite "Update_ss_0.45.N_k3g_install.bin" - Kindle 3 3G US "Update_ss_0.45.N_k3w_install.bin" - Kindle 3 WiFi "Update_ss_0.45.N_k3gb_install.bin" - Kindle 3 3G UK "Update_ss_0.45.N_k4_install.bin" - Kindle 4
5) Place your 600x800 (824x1200 if you have a DX) image files (png or jpeg) into the "linkss/screensavers" folder.
5b) If you want to randomize (at boot) the order in which your screensavers will appear, drop a blank "random" file in the "linkss" folder. (By copying and renaming the existing "autoreboot" blank file, for example)
5c) If you want to shuffle your screensavers each time an autoreboot is triggered, drop a blank "shuffle" file in the "linkss" folder. (By copying and renaming the existing "autoreboot" blank file, for example)
6) Safely eject & unplug your Kindle from your computer. To apply the update, on your Kindle Home screen, click Menu > Settings > Menu > Update Your Kindle. If "Update Your Kindle" is grayed out, you either did not put the bin file in the root folder or used the wrong file for your Kindle model.
Anytime you want to change your screen saver images just drop a blank "reboot" file in the "linkss" folder (or in the "linkfonts" folder if you also have the Fonts Hack installed) after you've made your changes and you'll be good to go.
To remove the screen saver hack, just copy the appropriate "uninstall" bin file to the root of your Kindle and update. Note that, since the v0.6.N, you shouldn't have to deactivate/uninstall it in order to be able to install official Amazon updates!
[edit] How to Update the Screen Saver Hack
First of all, no need to touch the jailbreak again. You already installed it the first time you installed hacks. Just forget about it now ;).
Next, no need to run the Update_*_uninstall.bin update, ever. (except in some very specific cases, like if you're updating from another screen saver hack [in which case you should use the original uninstaller for your hack, and not the one found here]).
Then, you can apply the latest Update_*_install.bin update.
After that, to make sure everything's in order, do a full Restart of your Kindle, and you'll be good to go.
Basically, just do a full install of the hack like described here, and then restart your Kindle (Menu > Settings > Menu > Restart).

1999 Corolla. Suits me just fine. Great gas mileage and no problems despite pushing 170,000 miles. I take care of it as with my other possessions. And these older cars tend to have less recalls than the newer ones.

2012 BMW 535i as of a month ago. Great car.
I used to have a nice older Ford Ranger 4x4. Sold it because I was given a nice car and needed the money to fuel my alcohol addiction. The nice car was a 2001 Honda Accord, V6, black, gray leather, sports rims and tires. I had to sell it to pay for my rehab and court fines and all the bullshit I caused myself last summer. Now I drive a piece of shit Pontiac Vibe that's all dented up from two deer smashes. Got it for a grand. I guess I shouldn't complain. It runs and I have transportation.
Don't let alcohol ruin your life fellas.
2001 Cadillac Eldorado.

Currently: A 1999 Ford Explorer XLT. It's black with silver trim, and a tan interior with leather seats. It gets me from point A to point B. It currently sits at almost 190x miles.

I really want to get a mini-cooper, but probably not until I move back out to the suburbs. I really worry about getting a brand new car when I have to park on the street every night.
2011 VW Golf TDI Sportwagen, love it.
2000 Chevy Malibu 150k miles
My first car. Have owned it for nine years. I know the car so well it's like a part of me.
Love me almost hooptie <3
An Opel Astra, I don't like it much but I didn't pay for it so... It's awesome, reliable and easy to drive, but I will exchange it soon for a volvo c30 (thank God). I'm still putting coins in my piggy bank so I can buy a vintage Jensen Interceptor R (buy and maintain, I suppose the second part is the one that scares me most).

Apple Fixes Dangerous SSL Authentication Flaw In iOS
timothy posted about a year ago | from the are-you-telling-us-the-whole-story? dept.
101wiredmikey writes "Users of iOS devices will find themselves with a new software update to install, thanks to a certificate validation flaw in the mobile popular OS. While Apple provides very little information when disclosing security issues, the company said that an attacker with a 'privileged network position could capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS.' 'While this flaw itself does not allow an attacker to compromise a vulnerable device, it is still a very serious threat to the privacy of users as it can be exploited through Man-in-the-Middle attack,' VUPEN's Chaouki Bekrar told SecurityWeek. For example, when connecting to an untrusted WiFi network, attackers could spy on user connections to websites and services that are supposed to be using encrypted communications, Bekrar said. Users should update their iOS devices to iOS 7.0.6 as soon as possible." Adds reader Trailrunner7: "The wording of the description is interesting, as it suggests that the proper certificate-validation checks were in place at some point in iOS but were later removed somehow. The effect of an exploit against this vulnerability would be for an attacker with a man-in-the-middle position on the victim's network would be able to read supposedly secure communications. It's not clear when the vulnerability was introduced, but the CVE entry for the bug was reserved on Jan. 8."

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 *Kittie!
Facts about *Kittie
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
*Kittie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
*COURTESY LISTING. This pet is NOT in foster care with Leftover Pets. Please refer to contact info BELOW for more info on this pet.
Kittie is a cute, spayed female cat, approximately 1 1/2 yrs old, and current on rabies shot. She does not do well with other cats or small children. Please email email@example.com for more information. The cat is located in Bethlehem.
Other Pets at Leftover Pets Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
*Kittie, a Winder Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Winder, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Winder.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Winder 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 Winder 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 Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Winder paves the way for another one to be saved.

As was made very clear in the column, not every GM knows what's going on and a player may get widely varying responses from different GMs. I don't think it's fair to insist that players accept a first response that is unhelpful or simply wrong when a second GM might have the ability to fix the issue.

Decrease Summer Emergencies By Staying Prepared
There are various types of emergency situations that tend to happen during the warm summer months. Whether it involves heat exhaustion, electricity blackouts, or dehydration, it is important to stay informed on things that you can do to protect yourself, your family and your pets. The summer heat can be dreadful for the elderly, young children, and people with serious health conditions. However, anyone who is exposed to the heat for a long period of time should be concerned about how the summer heat can have a negative effect on their health and everyday life.
Tips for Preventing Summer Emergencies
Summer emergencies can range from irritable to severe, however the good news is that they can be prevented. Here are a few things that we can all do to ensure safety this upcoming summer.
- Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids even if you are not thirsty. Water is best, but any non-alcoholic beverage can help keep you hydrated on a hot summer day. (Tom adds: Not all non-alcoholic beverages are as helpful in staying hydrated as others. In addition to water; fruit juices, sports drinks, and clear beverages like flavored waters are the best options for maintaining hydration.)
- Wear light colored, light weight clothing that is loose fitting if you plan on being outside for a long period of time .
- Stay cool indoors by keeping the thermostat turned down or keeping doors closed if there is only one source of cool air in the home. If fans are used, place them in the windows or doorway to circulate cool air.
- Always wear plenty of sunscreen when you plan on being exposed to the sun.
- Exercising outdoors should be limited to the early morning or late evening hours when the temperature is at its lowest .
- Visit your local county facilities that are air conditioned and open to the public if you need to cool down quickly such as the local library or community center.
- Conserve energy inside your home so that you can help decrease the possibility of a community-wide blackout which could be dangerous for many people.
The Dangers of Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia is a term that is used to describe a variety of illnesses that occur due to overexposure to heat. The most common types of hyperthermia include heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Seniors and those with serious illnesses are most likely to develop this serious medical condition. Anyone who is showing signs of hyperthermia should seek immediate medical attention. While it is most common in the summer, hyperthermia can occur at any time to anyone. Individuals who take a lot of medication can be at a higher risk as well as young children and the elderly.
Avoid Blackouts by Conserving Energy
Warm temperatures outside mean higher electricity bills for most homeowners. While it is important to stay cool, it is also a good idea to keep an eye on your thermostat and try to keep it at a comfortable and conservative level. With so many people turning on energy-draining air conditioning systems it is highly likely for many communities to experience blackouts due to heat waves. When a blackout occurs, the power can go out and stay out for several hours. It is important to take precautions if you suspect that a blackout may occur such as keeping emergency food and water on hand so that you can stay hydrated. Stock up on food and snacks that do not require heating up and keep plenty of bottled water available.
Summer should be a fun and enjoyable time for all, unfortunately there are many areas where the high temperatures can make this happy time of year, a dreadful one for many people. Be sure to keep a close eye on at-risk individuals in your local community by checking in on elderly neighbors or those who are sick or disabled to see if they need assistance with staying cool. Many charity organizations provide free fans or window air conditioners for seniors or low-income families. By staying hydrated and avoiding long time exposure to the sun, you can help yourself beat the heat and make the summer season more enjoyable.

Come Lose Yourself In a Bygone Era
I've always been an escapist by nature. It started with immersing myself in a good book. You know, the kind that are so convincing you believe you've traveled to another time and place. As a child, I would make up stories in my head based on the characters in books I'd read, other scenarios, other characters, as a means of avoiding a return to everyday life. I suppose that's why I've gravitated toward historical settings. The lives of those characters was so different from our own—often dangerous and gritty, yes, but also fascinating. Eventually this penchant for tuning out the mundane translated itself into writing my own stories.
Feel free to kick back, browse about and, above all, escape for a while.

One, two, even three! We just love exposing our Lomographs into many ways and many situations. We are not contented with doubles sometimes -- they have to be multiple! -

Multiverse Depictions
Name: Abe Status: other Grade: 12+ Country: USA Date: Winter 2013-14
I am fascinated with the concept behind the multiverse theory. However, one thing that kind of confuses me is that when the multiverse theory is visualized (as I have seen in many scientific documentaries), it appears as though our universe and all the other universes are kind of popping into existence in some three dimensional space. Knowing that all of what we know about space and time is only within this universe, why do artists portray the multiverse like this? Are they right in doing so? Or does making this depiction merely allow us to grasp our head around the theory?
Hi Abe,
Thanks for the question. You have encountered a conundrum in scientific illustration. Since science deals with many concepts which are inherently abstract and mathematical, it is very difficult for illustrators to accurately portray the concept. With this in mind, we give scientific illustrators and artists generous flexibility in creating the visualization. For example, it is routine to illustrate a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface--that is just a picture. But how does one convey what a four dimensional object looks like?
I hope this helps. Thanks Jeff Grell

Ok, maybe I'm crazy but I never heard of these until I saw them in the store. Have they been around long? Do they hold up well? Does the belt strech out? Whats the skinny on these quiet openers...anything I should look for or avoid. We currently have a nosiy chain driven OHGD brand...not sure the age. |

I have two Liftmaster 1/2 HP Belt Drive Machines (Model 3280) installed at my home and love them. They are SOOOO much more quiet than the previous Craftsman chain drives we had when we bought our house. Liftmaster offers a lifetime belt warranty and in my 5 years of experience, I have never heard of a belt breaking. There are (2) other belt drive models available from Liftmaster. The 3585 and the ULTRA-QUIET 3850 (DC powered). Both are 3/4 horse power, which isn't necessary for standard metal sectional doors. Don't be mis-lead into thinking that the higher the power the faster it will lift the door. In fact, I think the 3585 (and the chain drive I-Beam rail 3595) opens slower than most other models. However, both the 3850 and the 3585 are part of Liftmaster's Elite series of machines which come with a (5) year parts warranty and lifetime motor and belt warranties. Hope this helps you make your decision. Let me know if you have any other questions, I will do my best to help. |

Political theory holding all forms of government authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups. The word was used only pejoratively until Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, now regarded as the founder of anarchism, adopted it in What is Property? (1840). The anarchist Mikhail Bakunin clashed with Karl Marx at the First International; when it was dissolved in 1872, Bakunin's followers retained control of workers' organizations in Latin countries such as Spain and Italy. Even anarchists who believed that the transition to a government-free society required violent revolution disagreed on the nature of the transition. Anarcho-syndicalism, which developed in the late 1880s, emphasized labour unions (syndicats) and called for general strikes to paralyze the state. In the 19th and 20th centuries, anarchism also inspired experimental communities, including New Lanark in Britain and Brook Farm in the U.S. During the early months of the Spanish Civil War, anarchist militias were in virtual control of much of eastern Spain, where they established hundreds of anarchist collectives. Suppressed as an organized movement by fascism in the 1930s, anarchism reemerged in the 1950s and '60s through its influence on the civil rights movement and the student movements in the U.S. and Europe. The radical ecology movement in the 1970s also was inspired by anarchist ideas. Beginning in 1999, anarchist-led street demonstrations against the World Bank and International Monetary Fund received unprecedented publicity and inspired new anarchist groups, periodicals, and Internet sites. Anarchist themes are reflected in the work of many 20th-century artists, writers, and musicians, including Pablo Picasso, the American poets of the Beat movement, the Spanish Surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel, and the American composer John Cage.
