That it is a needed key to the lost Paradise where disease, worry and sorrow-hate, fight and murder were unknown, and where there was no death...Eat your way into Paradise physically." - Arnold Ehret, Author "Mucusless Diet Healing System" Youtube Video Link: Fruitarian Anne http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr9UBPY2ALQ May 2009 - Audio Interview with Frederic Patenaude Link: http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/anneosborne3.html Anne's Daily Routine Exercises before Breakfast Example of Foods throughout Day Watermelon Black Grapes Cucumbers Plantain (Banana) Avocado After many years of eating only fruit - Anne says her body will tell her what it needs, by her feeling a craving for certain fruits. By eating the fruits her body is craving, she is able to enjoy perfect health! Anne learned how to "transition" to becoming a fruitarian by reading books on the subject, including the book, "Mucusless Diet Healing System" by Arnold Ehret. . * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * Fruitarian Arnold Ehret - Author "Mucusless Diet Healing System" Arnold's Story: After being diagnosed by his doctors as having terminal kidney disease, Arnold decided to change his diet, making a "transition" to eventually eating only fruit for. After a change in diet, his body restored itself to excellent health. He opened a Health Resort in Switzerland and taught his "Transition Diet" to thousands of people. His years of observations and expert conclusions about diet are in his book, "Mucusless Diet Healing System". He is also the Author of the book, "Rational Fasting" including the chapter on "The Fundamental Cause of Growing Old and Ugly" (Eating Foods other than Fruit, Greens and Vegetables) Arnold: "What a wonderfully Healthy COLOR we could have if our diet consisted of GRAPES, CHERRIES and ORANGES, etc., and our Hobbies of Outdoor Activities." Warning!! - *Transition* to Eating Only Fruit! - 1st More Vegetables than Fruit Arnold discovered that a quick change in diet - could create serious health problems. He suggested that people start their "transition" by eating more vegetables than fruit. Then, after the body had eliminated excess fat, toxins, and the intestinal tract was cleaned of accumulated mucoid (food) plaque, it would do well on eating just fruit. Arnold: "Fruit acid dissolves waste and forms gases; fruit sugar ferments in the waste and stirs it up, also forming gases. Both eliminate and for this reason it can become harmful if they work too intensively. It is therefore advisable to use raw regetables as a "broom" more frequently. (To clean the intestinal tract) Only one kind of cooked vegetable should be used at one meal. It may be eaten either cold or warm, and mixed with green salads and raw vegetables. If cabbage, carrots, turnips, beets, cauliflower, onions, etc., are slowly stewed in a very little water, or best, if carefully baked, they become sweeter...and the mineral salts are not destroyed and not extracted. This is in fact an improvement and not a waste. In winter canned foods may be used as a substitute for fresh ones. I differ from the Raw Foodists because...it is of more importance that the patient should and shall enjoy his change of diet during the - transition - until his tastes and conditions have improved. The ideal and at the same time most natural method of eating for man is one kind of fresh fruit, in season, and you will soon notice after you have been living on the transition diet for awhile, that you will feel more satisfied and in fact are better nourished with one kind of fruit...This condidtion cannot of course take place until your body is perfectly clean." Note: Arnold was an excellent example of the benefits of the *Garden of Eden* Diet he recommended. He was in excellent health and looked many years younger than Age 56 when he died. He was in Los Angeles, California giving successful lectures on his "Mucusless Diet Healing System". One evening after a lecture, he was in a hurry to catch the train, when he fell, hitting his head on the curb of the street. He died shortly thereafter from a skull fracture and brain injury. Arnold Ehret's books are still in print, providing *proven* ways to transition to the *Garden of Eden* Diet that helps the *Age Defying Body* to restore and maintain itself in excellent health, also to naturally reverse aging and stay younger-looking than the chronological age. * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Carolina Home
Baker & Taylor
When she comes to Dare Island to escape the emotional demands of her wealthy family, Allison Carter, a young teacher determined to make this tight-knit community her home, gets involved with single dad and fishing boat captain Matt Fletcher and must teach him how to let go of the past. Original. 35,000 first printing.
Penguin Putnam
Home to the Fletcher family for generations, Dare Island is a fishing village rocked by changing times--its traditions slipping away like sands of the North Carolina coast. Single dad and fishing boat captain Matt Fletcher deferred his own dreams to support his innkeeper parents and build a future for his sixteen-year-old son. Matt has learned to weather life's storms by steering a steady emotional course...and keeping a commitment-free approach to love.
Newcomer Allison Carter came to Dare Island to escape the emotional demands of her wealthy family. The young teacher aims to build a life here, to make a lasting place for herself. She doesn't want to be another Woman Who Once Dated Matt Fletcher. It's both tempting and dangerous to believe she can be something more.
Then Matt's brother Luke makes a sudden return home, with a child of his own--and a request that will change all their lives. With a child's welfare at stake, Matt must turn to Allison to teach him to let go of the past, open his eyes...and follow his heart.

Touchette says bad blood still flows. She cites Leadville's Mining Hall of Fame, which honors Augusta but not Doe -- despite the fact that Doe developed several mines in the area while, Touchette says, "Augusta never set foot in a mine. I think she should be there. But that's a battle I'm not going to take on, because the people that make those decisions are in Denver, and the majority of people there favor [Augusta]. That's why I don't perform in Denver all that much."
She'll be portraying Baby Doe at this year's meeting of the Augusta Pierce Tabor Remembrance Society, and she's aware that the performance could be a source of conflict for the folks in attendance. "I feel like I'm walking into the lion's den. They might throw apples at me or something." Worse, her arrival at Tabor's second-to-last resting place might be the catalyst for conflict between two otherworldly former enemies: the spirits of Doe and Tabor. "Yes, I'm wondering about that, too," Touchette giggles.
Adds King: "There is that grand possibility."

How Blizzard used the dungeon system to change Oculus {WoW}
Nov 14th 2009 2:11PM Broken instances? I wouldn't call them broken - I would just say they aint as popular as the rest.
Oculus takes more effort imo with all the drake flying, dismounting and mounting and if you have one person in your group who fails at the last boss its a wipe fest.
Mauradon is just a mission to get to for the lower levels since levelling is so fast paced compared to what it used to be, most people just skip Mara all together. Or will get in a group for it then nobody can be bothered to go to the stone.
SteelSeries WoW mouse gets new functionality {WoW}
Oct 29th 2009 9:43AM Love everything about the mouse apart from the metal finish, if you are a hardcore gamer who sits at their computer for long periods, you will start to get the horrible green stain on your hand where the metal is wearing off. (the same as when you hold a lot of copper coins for a long time)
that kind of ruined it for me as i now have a half plastic and a half metal mouse... absolute crud, decided to go back to Razer :P

A first offense under the stalking law is a Class 6 felony punishable by up to eighteen months in prison. A second or subsequent offense within seven years is a Class 5 felony, punishable by up to three years.
Last August, Dana Garner's lawyer notified the city of her intent to sue the department for a million dollars, claiming the police acted negligently and improperly. "Ms. Garner repeatedly asked, begged, demanded or pled with various police officers to arrest Mr. Garner, and in doing so provided the officer with a location where Mr. Garner could be found," attorney Jay Freeman claimed.
"Each time, the officer either refused or failed to go and arrest and incarcerate Mr. Garner. Indeed, and in response to Ms. Garner's request that an arrest be made, the officers were rude, demeaning, and insulting.
"Each time, the officers were made aware that a restraining order had been issued, and that Mr. Garner was violent in nature."
The female detective who interviewed Dana over the telephone knew of the weapon and the passport, "a classic sign of an explosive situation," Freeman noted. "However, and yet again, rather than go and arrest Mr. Garner, an easy option, the detective simply sought another arrest warrant--and not for theft or stalking, but for...trespass."
Although Dana admits she could use the money, she says it's more important that the department change its ways--or at least follow its own policies. She wants officers to listen, really listen, to a woman's story. Grimly, she points out that the money order she'd reported stolen, a report the Denver police discounted, was cashed by Jim's brother-in-law in Tennessee--in exchange for the gun Jim used to shoot her.
If Dana does follow through with her suit, it will be an uphill battle. Government employees in Colorado, including police officers, are protected by strong immunity statutes. Another legal firm that Dana had contacted declined to take the case, noting that she would have to prove the officers' conduct was "willful, malicious, or intended to cause harm.
"We know you think that changes need to be made," the attorneys wrote, "and we agree with you, but it is our opinion that trying to change the law, in this case, through the legislature is a better option. This would also allow you to avoid the emotional heartache and public access to your personal life, in a case that would probably be unsuccessful anyway."
Even police spokesman Wyckoff suggests that Dana ought to take a hint from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. "They got sick and tired of seeing guys getting off with three and four DUIs," he says. "So they started putting the heat on the judges by showing up at sentencing."
Dana hasn't given up on finding an attorney willing to take on the police. But in the meantime, she's actively helping women to help themselves. She's joined with security consultant Mike Newell, a former Denver cop and an expert in "stalker suppression," to form the nonprofit Crisis Action Network, doing business as Stalking Rescue.
Newell's practice is to stalk the stalker, monitoring his activity and building a case to get him into the justice system before he strikes.
Like most dangerous stalkers, Jim Garner gave plenty of warning, Newell says. "He repeatedly violated restraining orders, meaning he felt omnipotent and above the law," he notes. "He followed her to work. He was constantly checking with friends, associates and family members to track her lifestyle. He threatened her verbally on numerous occasions.
"Hell, for years he read books on how to murder people. He lived vicariously through the killers he met in those books until he decided to act himself."
The police lack the manpower, especially when it comes to followup, to deal with stalkers adequately. "You need someone who can see the pattern over time," Newell explains. "This is not just a trespass or a burglary or a phone harassment. It's a pattern of escalating criminal activity. Right now, with the antiquated justice system, there's not much in the way of consequences for the stalker, which is giving these predators tacit approval to escalate what they are doing."
According to Newell, there's only one "cure" for stalkers: isolation. "Get them away from the local bar and their good buddies who tell them that they're right," he says. "Give them time to see that their behavior is wrong. Most of these guys, I believe, are changeable. They don't start off wanting to hurt or kill the ones they love--it just escalates."
And if authorities don't help the victims, victims have to help themselves. The Crisis Action Network, with Dana Garner as its executive director, plans to show how they can. "We want to provide, at little or no cost, training for victims of predator abuse," says Newell. "That includes case management and development--including how to communicate with police, district attorneys and judges, optimum use of the justice system, self-awareness, personal protection/self-defense and emotional recovery."
But the network will step in only after a victim requests a temporary restraining order. "They have to take that first step," says Newell. "Until they make that commitment to themselves, we're unable to help."

Mineral SystemsMineral care is not a replacement for bromine or chlorine, but works
together with it and allows you to keep bromine or chlorine levels much
lower than would normally be needed. With a mineral system you can keep
bromine or chlorine levels as low as 1.0 part per million (ppm), this
allows you to have clean sparkling water without the negative affects of
chlorine or bromine like stinky chemical odors and fading swimming
suits. How Do Mineral Systems Work in a Hot Tub?Mineral Systems come in a few different brands and forms. At Hot Tub Warehouse,
we carry Spa Frog Minerals. These systems uses and active ingredient of
Silver Chloride that destroys bacteria while neutralizing acid, this
helps to keep pH in the proper range with little maintenance. What levels should be maintained?When
using a mineral system keep in mind that it cannot be used alone, but
together with either bromine or chlorine! Whenever you start with fresh
water, which should be at least every 4 months, you need to be sure and
give the water an initial shock
treatment to establish a residual level of chlorine or bromine at
1.0-2.0 ppm. After initial water balancing levels should be maintained

One very common flawed argument that I constantly see is this. That we hate you because you are "black." It's a tired argument.
Wrong nigger! That's not why we hate you. Your wide noses, shit brown skin, jaundiced eyes, and brillo-pad hair is not why we hate you. They are merely identifying traits so we know a nigger when we see one.
It's because of your nature, and what you do. You aggravate us because it seems that anything you do, you fail. Anywhere you go, you destroy the area. No nigger anywhere has ever been truthfully and honestly able to take credit for a positive contribution to society. A long time ago, I had long looked for anything; anything at all that might be considered positive where a nigger was responsible. Well guess what? I've yet to see it. No nigger has ever invented anything, and there is no nigger-run government that isn't in shambles. You didn't invent traffic lights, automatic transmissions, air conditioners, or even peanut butter. And why is Africa, the most resource rich continent in the world, a shit-hole? You guessed it.
Everyone, even the libtard nigger-lovers to some degree can see your behavior. The only difference, is that the nigger-lovers still believe that you can be rehabilitated, or in other words, to stop acting like niggers. Unfortunately, it means that due to them, we are forced to deal with your monkeyshines daily.
However, we don't think you can get better. We know your nature, and know that you will never stop being what you are: niggers.
Another facet of this tired argument is prejudice. Prejudice is making a decision with haste, without sufficient research and experience. You will see through this site that is clearly not the case. There is mountains of researched data here, and all of the regular members here have had more than sufficient real life contact with niggers. We don't hate you based on a preconceived notion, and thus we are not prejudiced.
We hate your kind because of your daily monkeyshines. You EARN our contempt every single day.
On this note, I doubt that any of you niggers will actually bother to read this. And of those of you who do and even can, you will no doubt chimp out and say my post is racist. I doubt my main point will get through your simian thick skulls, so I will repeat the main point of my post:
You EARN our contempt every single day.

Official 4.0.1 patch notes {WoW}
Oct 12th 2010 1:02PM all i know is that this means a complete overhaul of my gems probably since my main is a rouge and there is no more armpen
Breakfast Topic: Would you list WoW experience on your resume? {WoW}
Sep 14th 2010 10:53AM I agree with your statment to some degree, but at the same time do you ever think if they didnt mention wow directly and you had resources to support their claims as to being a good leader or a very outgoing person as far as willing to learn new things, being able to instill confidence in others, or even just being able to help other understand when they were alittle unsure of the exact directions in whiich they were to do the job that you might look at it from a different angle?
Breakfast Topic: Would you list WoW experience on your resume? {WoW}
Sep 14th 2010 10:44AM Sounds to me like most of you are fogeting the key factor in using WoW as an experiance based use for job apps. If u dont mention the game directly and just inform the potential employer that you schedule events that require mass coordination and leadership skills to put together on a weekly basis, this should suffice enough to atleast get you the intherview then in person is when you may explain abit. However it may be, imo, a strong suggestion that you still reframe from using the "WoW" name. Then again depending on how open minded the employer is and if that employer is a good leader their selves they should admire and respect the fat that you didnt lie. I have heard of employers asking, "If you could be any animal in the world, any one at all what would you be?" this is a personality questtion so therefore is not an indecation of your job proformance but it is an incite into how well you will or may work with a team, group or even with the public. But again there are always risks that we take when applying for a job.
Breakfast Topic: What enemy would you turn traitor to join? {WoW}
Sep 9th 2010 8:19AM Agreed, they do make some of them abit sympathizable but at the same time with my dk i made the choice inadvertently to join the scryers. Although you still only have 1 of 2 paths you can go.
Tuesday Morning Post: Real ID ruckus edition {WoW}
Jul 13th 2010 12:05PM The add-on issue shouldnt affect u but the real id glitch with the whole not being on a parentally controlled acct will that has to do with the real id system alone its a blizz/esrb/battle.net glitch to my understanding. But as for your ? no the addon thing shouldnt effect u since u dont use addons and im not sure my addons a effected by the glitch either i only use stuff like buff/debuff bars purely cosmetic none of that GS, auctioneer, altoholic stuff. Hope that helps u some.
Tuesday Morning Post: Real ID ruckus edition {WoW}
Jul 13th 2010 8:12AM WOW really they fix things, they break things, they fix then break. I mean seriously i get the whole trail and error thing has to happen to get it right but isnt that what the test realms and betas are for. me personally idc for the real id but if it helps with keeping up with ppl thats kool then again most of the ppl i know that play wow are either on my server or on the ones i left due to the long log ques (ex. Earthenring on a good night 800que)! And now there is the issue with the add-ons getting info they dont need other than that given when DLing curse client or w/e client you use. Hopefully things will work out. I am all for change but not needing to get a whole new life cuz someone didnt like theirs......lol jk! (No one wants my life trust me.)
Customizing and opting out of Real ID {WoW}
Jul 13th 2010 7:30AM ok so what this sounds like to me would be a clever way of making ppl stop using addons and if things keep heading in this route of " Blizz has idea, Blizz makes idea real in patch, Blizz fuks up with a privacy issue, Players say," Fuck this ill go play SW:TOR...(Not really) but u get the point.
Cataclysm raid progression refinements {WoW}
Apr 27th 2010 12:35PM i agree with the idea of the 10 and 25 droping the same gear in both raids but with the idea of them being the same in stats i disagree with becuz this is one thing that makes being in a big guild a plus and bulding the guild also. Also i do like the idea of making raids more close to the same experience in both 10 and 25 mans is nice and also pushes ppl to try out the heroic modes more than just running normal mode all the time is sweet but i have only been playing hardcore since WotLK and i have to agree over all with the vanilla players this would indeed, imo, cause the cataclysmic downfall of 25mans and may even lead to the reason why more ppl drop wow and pick up star wars. Not saying that they wouldnt play wow still or Star Wars would become the new WoW just saying that the progression raid set now is more of what keeps me interested and wanting more.
Breakfast Topic: Where's the epic {WoW}
Apr 27th 2010 8:20AM I played some during vanilla but never to the raiding point and i hear vanilla players talk about that E>P>I>C feeling during rading and the now that i have got into wow fulltime since WotLK released the only raid i have done, and would like to do again to finish it, is the sunwell where i felt any sort of "Man if we pull this shit off it would be awsome." But since i hnever raided during the vanilla days i cant say i know 100% what u are talking about and that pains me to say.
Cataclysm Class Changes: Rogue analysis {WoW}
Apr 20th 2010 10:37AM Ok so we get a smoke bomb that does nothing but aloow us to have to vanish to trick the enemy into thinking that we r still in the cloud when (if pvped) a palidin can just consicrate the land to find us, hunters and druids use their humaniod trackers, dks use DnD, or the boss just isnt able to target the tank and we get blamed for causing the raid to wipe due to loss of aggro..........GREAT.......wtf is blizz thinking i mean i love my rogue my dk was my first 80 becuase i got back into wow then but my rogue is my main always and now besides trying to TotT the aggro 1 or 2 times i now have to TotT everytime its up to make sure the tank keeps aggro because of a cloud of useless smoke......it may be good for pve questing but not raiding so why add something that is 1 sided oinstead of something to use for multiple reasons i.e. pvp pve and raids

When I am pale in winter this pricey but effective little product works very well to add a pop of subtle colour to my cheeks and also works as an all-over highlighter for a lovely, lit-from-within complexion. In summer I don't tend to use it as I tan quite deeply and it doesn't really show up on my skin. I love the smell and I've never had any issues with the packaging or the brush. It's lasted me a couple of years as well, so I suppose it's good value for the price. UPDATE: I ended up giving this to my sister. I think it's a little too cool for my skintone and doesn't look as good as I thought.
My Profile :
Porcelain skin with slightly pink cheeks, blond hair, green eyes, cool undertoned. Combo sensitive skin with some acnee spots on the forehead and the chin from time to time.
The Product :
Beautiful sheer texture. A Pale warm pink color. Makes my green eyes pop, and gives a fresh "young girl" look. Perfect for spring & summer.
What it does to me :
I bought it a long time ago based on MUA reviews. I was so happy I did, I've been wearing it almost every day since. I thought I must not forget to recommand it, really worth it. It has caused me no breakouts, no allergy and never looked overdone on me. However with the lighting in winter I prefer Stila "Rose" or Canne Multiple from Nars. continued >>
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This blush/luminizing powder must be one of my BEST BEAUTY BUYS!! Goes on smoothly and adds a natural hint of colour to the cheeks, without being overpowering. It smells lovely, too. I don't have a problem with the brush, like some of the other users. Well, what do you know.. great things come in small packages. ^^
Yes, I am a sucker for cute packaging but I really love this stuff. Using a powder brush (not a fan of the brush that it comes with), just dab/swab/sweep the brush in the powder then tap lightly on the box, then make a circular motion on the apples of the cheeks then sweep downwards to brush the rest of the face. Do the same for the other side. And Voila - a luminated complexion! It gives it a shimmery glow but definitely MUCH MUCH MUCH more subtle than, say, Revlon Skinlights which I tried on my hand when it was first introduced at my nearby drug store. I don't use this for a blush tho because Benefit has the ultimate product for blush/tint - Benetint.
I hate hate hate the packaging- but I adore the product. It smells divine, looks great as blush or highlighter, depending on the application, and you get a ton of product. however, it's not portable at all, and I'm always afraid the cardboard package will get ripped or crushed. I will purchase again because the product is great, but I really wish they'd revamp the packaging.
Update- MAC Well Dressed is everything I wished this would be- subtle glowy pink. More pigmented and easier to apply- much better packaging. So repurchasing this is a no-go for me.
i read all these good reviews on benefit's dandelion so i needed to have this to see what the big fuss was all about. i normally dont wear any foundation or face powder but when i do wear the blush i have, it's way too overwhelming for my skin tone. so i decided to look for something like a highlighter and decided to buy dandelion. i tried it at sephora cuz i was too worried that i might be too dark for it but it was almost perfect. i was like, wow! im a little tanned and it was still looked great. it looked really nice during like the day time but under light from like my room looks kinda different but overall, it's great. definately not work 26 bucks though! maybe worth 18 bucks but jesus, not 26! the little box that it comes in is great though. super cute!!
it was nice if you just want to give the slightest hint of blush to your face,but i find myself LOADING it on to make it even half noticible,its very expensive for what it is.
I have heard alot of reviews on this blusher...A veri natural pinky shade and quite pigment too...Abit pricey due to the brand...I'm not regret in getting this shade...Definitely worth buying to give it a try! A minus point is that it's not available in sg...

Harleston Magpies lost their points advantage at the top of the Investec Women's Conference East table after honours were shared in their clash with title rivals St Albans.
With four games remaining Magpies will be happy to retain top spot on goal difference from Sevenoaks, who beat Horsham 1-0, leaving St Albans in third, three points behind.
St Albans were playing on a new pitch at Oaklands College, but it was Magpies who dominated the first 15 minutes without finding a breakthrough.
The best chance fell to Angie Wheelhouse from a great pass by Emma Lee-Smith, but the goalkeeper was quickly off her line to smother Lee-Smith's shot at the top of the circle.
The Magpies keeper was rarely troubled, thanks to some excellent defending by Louisa Greenacre and Debbie Frances as the half finished goalless.
The second period was much more open and lively as both sides went for the win.
It was St Albans who struck first with a well-hit shot following a counter-attack down the right, but Magpies hit back four minutes later with a brilliant solo effort by Hannah Palmer, who dribbled past two defenders and the keeper before slotting home.
St Albans had a goal disallowed and Emma Lee-Smith went very close on two occasions, before a frenetic final few minutes which saw Magpies finish the game with nine players and St Albans with 10.

Our companys roots extend back to 1964, when Palomex Oy was founded to manufacture on an industrial basis the Orthopantomograph®, an invention of Professor Yrjö Paatero. The device allowed a panoramic X-ray dental image to be taken in a single exposure.
The Instrumentarium Group acquired Palomex Oy in 1977. At the same time, some of the companys operations were detached, leading to the founding of SOREDEX Oy. In 1981 SOREDEX merged with the Orion Group. The Palomex name was changed to Instrumentarium Imaging in 1988. In 2001 the Instrumentarium Group acquired SOREDEX, thus creating in the company a dental imaging equipment unit consisting of two strong brands. General Electric acquired the Instrumentarium Group in 2003 and dental imaging devices became part of GEs Healthcare business.
Dental imaging operations were separated from GE in 2005. PaloDEx Group Oy was founded to continue this field of business. In its capacity as the parent company, PaloDEx occupies a leading position in the international dental imaging equipment market. The companys product families, Instrumentarium Dental and SOREDEX, are among the worlds most respected and best known dental brands.

Latin American diplomacy key for success at Durban climate talks
Latin America represents a microcosm for the challenges facing the international climate change talks. The diversity of its countries and their economies, the disparities in their annual emissions and vulnerability, their ideological stances, diversity of foreign policies and memberships of various regional and international fora ensures that differing perspectives on climate change are commonplace.
However, this diversity does not mean progress is unachievable. In fact the opposite may be the case. The excellent leadership of the Mexican presidency at the COP16 in 2010 and strong Latin American support of that effort suggests increasing pragmatism by governments in the region.
This pragmatic approach is best demonstrated by those leading this endeavor. Costa Rica's pledge to become carbon neutral by 2021 and Brazil's plan to curb deforestation within its borders by 80% by 2020 and Mexico's Special Climate Change Program 2009-2012, which sets out a voluntary emission reduction of 50% by 2050 compared to a baseline year of 2000, are notable.
Action at the regional level, such as the U.S. led Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas and CARICOM's efforts to create a Regional Framework for Achieving Development Resilient to Climate Change, illustrate the common ground and values shared by some countries providing the basis for engagement.
Since the birth of the UNFCCC in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, we have witnessed major transformations across Latin America as to how governments perceive the climate issue. Latin American countries have passed from treating climate change as an external problem to accepting that every country must play its role to protect its present and future citizens and reduce emissions, regardless of their size.
There is now a high level of consciousness and awareness of how important this issue is both nationally and internationally for Latin America.
The successful experience of the Mexican presidency of COP16 can serve as a benchmark for greater climate diplomacy between Latin American countries in the run up to the 2011 climate talks in Durban this December. This intensified diplomacy should focus on cultivating greater collective will between Latin American countries and their global partners, which must convey the urgency of the situation.
The new pragmatism and levels of action being undertaken on climate change should be continued and strengthened. Increasing levels of awareness around climate should seek to treat it as a systemic risk to be integrated with conventional political priorities such as security, prosperity and job creation.
Securing a fair, equitable and ambitious international treaty that limits global temperature increases to 2 degrees, making a concerted effort to adapt and protect citizens from natural disasters, continue efforts to reduce deforestation in the Amazon, committing to renewable energy and low carbon development to meet the needs of a dynamic and thriving region, are top priorities.
The science is sufficiently clear. The political conditions are conducive for change. Politics and diplomacy can and should drive this process forward to build on the success made in Cancun in Durban, and in capitals across Latin America.
Intercambio Climático would like to thank Mateo Ward for his help translating this article.

The new Ford Ranger is robust, offers great payload and is armed for any terrain.
Although the number of Ford Rangers in our country may be counted on two hands, in the United States is a well-known pickup that has a long history behind them. The Ranger was already born in the early 80s, when Ford wanted to offer a more compact alternative to the larger F-Series. Budget friendly, but equally capable. A formula which proved very successful for a long time, but in the United States could not resist to the ravages of time.
However, in South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and now even in Belgium, where the Ranger notes a big demand from independent or local farmer. The new Ranger was developed under the One Car philosophy by a global team in Australia, where the engineers placed the emphasis on robustness, off-road capability and fuel efficiency. No gas-guzzling V8 under the hood so, but two powerful engines: a 2.2-liter four-cylinder and a 3.2-liter five-cylinder.
The design comes back this time of Ford design department, in contrast to a long period in which the Ranger was a mere rebadge of the Mazda B-Series. Not that it matters, a pickup is a pickup. However, the broken lines show the designers drew it with a little freedom. Still, Ford Ranger has several elements that help to be distinguished from its competitors, such as the characteristic three-line grille. Furthermore, some rounded corners for a more aerodynamic and modern impression, both the headlights and mirrors are bigger and a shorter front. Muscular and aggressive, or "21st Century Tough" as the designers prefer to articulate. With a total length of 5,359 mm and a width of 1,850 mm, the Ranger is also bigger than before, and although in the city is not immediately practical, the maneuverability of this pickup is acceptable or even good in its class.
The two body styles in European range include Super Cab and Double Cab, respectively 1,450 and 1,210 liters cargo. The Double Cab is slightly more family-friendly, but the flip side of the coin is a shortened platform of 1847 mm to 1549 mm.
Inside the new Ranger looks rather austere, but given its assignment as true workhorse, hard plastics are easily washable, a plus rather than a minus, in addition, the pickup is fully with his time, with Bluetooth, USB and iPod integration. Also cruise control and voice control are available already from the XLT version level. The multifunction information screen in the center console is rather small, but still a worthy addition.
Space is more abundant and thanks to the backward movement of the B-pillar, the legroom for rear seat passengers in the Double Cab version is the best in its class. The Ranger don't denies its American roots: the deep storage compartment in the center console is cooled and has a capacity of 8.5 liters -also the largest in its class- while the doors easily hide magnum bottles. The bigger the better! Given the standard uncovered cargo in the back, in the interior are more than 20 storage spaces for luggage and under the rear seats is even a hidden room for a few screwdrivers, pincers and other instruments. The leather seats are finally nice and comfortable but not always offer the best lateral support.
However, the new Ford Ranger feels surprisingly good. In the 4 × 2 mode, purely RWD, Ranger offers even more confidence to go harder and lean just a bit- inevitable with a pickup... we were really pleasantly surprised by the combination of steering feel and handling. Given the large ballast that Ranger should be able to carry the suspension is rather hard. Somewhat lose in comfort, but everything always remains within the standards and on cruise speed the pickup is even really comfy. When you are in the center console via a rotary switch to the 4 × 4 mode, the Ranger is slightly less maneuverable. Ford therefore advises not to use this mode under normal driving conditions. If it is really necessary, however, the four-wheel drive handy. It may not be a Land Rover Defender, but the Ranger is also a "male" on difficult terrain.
A ground clearance of 229 mm, an actuating angle of 28 °, tilt angle of 35 ° and a maximum wading depth of 800 mm are only some data from the mill rate. If it is really difficult, it is possible to switch to 4 × 4 Low. Optionally there is also an electronic differential lock available that will be useful when one of the wheels is on ice, in mud or in the air. By default, the Ranger has already an advanced traction control, which is able to reduce the engine torque to the level that to handle perfectly on any surface. The Ranger withstood testing through deserts, rivers, was tested in extreme heat and cold conditions and at high altitude. The new Ford Ranger is capable, that's for sure.
And capable is the least that can be said about the new engines: a 2.2-liter TDCi and a 3.2-liter five-cylinder TDCi. Both are rather rich in torque and we went out with the four-cylinder delivering 375 Nm. This torque is also already available from 1,500 rpm and power output of 150 hp comes at 3,700 crankshaft revolutions. With a sprint time of 12.3 seconds to 100 km / h, the Ranger Double Cab is nor a sprinter, but given its size and 2123 kg, the time is not slow. For completeness we mention here the Defender-devouring top speed of 175 km / h, but more importantly at the Ranger is the maximum towing capacity of 3,350 kilograms and the maximum authorized mass of 3,200 kilograms.
At low speeds, are reaching disturbing vibrations on the dashboard, but, once the speed is increasing, those vibrations disappear. It is also important that Ford succeeded consumption strongly pressing: according to the brochure, the Ranger consumes 8.5 litres/100 kilometers, also joined us in consumption after extensive testing this week below 10 liters: 9.4 liters.
Besides the permanent consumption within limits, the Ford Ranger register as light freight, which also saves again for those who consider a pickup in their driveway. And that can be buyed from 23,095 euros, the amount that is good for the 2.2-liter TDCi Ranger Super Cab XL.
Electrically operated front windows, electrically operated and heated door mirrors and a radio / CD are standard here. Like the numerous safety systems including ESP, traction control, anti-roll system for trailers, Roll Over Mitigation, Load Adaptive Control, Hill Start Assist and hill descent. At the cost of EUR 25.395 available for XLT you also have alloy wheels, automatic headlights and wipers, air conditioning, cruise control, USB and Bluetooth. The Limited version of our test car ensures then that the Ranger is not far inferior to the equipment find even on prestigious cars. Larger 17-inch wheels, dark tinted rear windows, cool box in the center console, dual-zone automatic Arico, four electric windows, an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat, leather upholstery and parking sensors are just some elements of the more equipment. Our 2.2-liter Ranger Double Cab Limited goes for 28,635 euros out the door. The top-notch equipment Wildtrak is only compatible with the 470 Nm supplying 3.2-liter five-cylinder and costs 30,985 euros. Options are limited to a metallic ( 413), a navigation ( 750) and some accessories.
The new Ford Ranger has managed to fill the gap between a pickup and an ordinary car. The Ranger remains brutal, but in some areas greatly evolves into the sophisticated side. The new powertrains confirm its existence in Europe and also in off-road, the Ranger is extremely capable. Both in technologically and safety terms, the Ranger is fully with new times and in our opinion the Ranger is anything but expensive.

Our current room has can lights that are never used. They don't even have bulbs in them.
The new plan has quite a few lighting options but everyone keeps telling me that I have to have ceiling cans. I've included a rough draft with explanation, please let me know what you think. |

You don't always need recesssed lighting in a room. Your proposed layout is more than adequate. If you are a "reader" while in the tub, you could consider a MR16 directional mounted to provide light from over your shoulder,but the centre fixture may provide enough light. |

Nobody ever mentioned can lights for our bathrooms. We will have 2 3-bulb vanity lights in our master (as well as a window). In our hall bath, we'll have the same lights, but no window; instead, there's a light tube. I can't believe how much light the tube provides! Our bathrooms are rectangular, the master is about 13' x 9'6" and the hall bath is 13' x about 5'6". I think that you'll have plenty of light, from what you've drawn. |
I would like some help with our 11x8 bathroom We will have an 8ft double vanity with double mirror and 3 sconces We would also like to do small (maybe 4 inch cans What size cans and bulbs what trim looks best best position etc any info would be greatly appreciated |
Can lights are not a must have in bathrooms. Depending on the humidity levels, size, number of cans and placement, they may not be suitable. Wall sconces work just fine. In certain parts of the USA, the law requires compliance with energy efficiency laws (eg - title 24). To meet those requirements, the lighting used will typically be CFL / fluorescent tube lighting with non edison lamp bases. Typically, the area around the mirror will get the best illumination for obvious reasons. For a number of people, that will be the main focus/ need. If you hate fluorescents in all shapes and forms, there is LED lighting. For more designer type lighting, you could look at supplemental lighting such as |
Can lights are one of the worst choices for general lighting that has ever been invented. |

Prophetic Bridges Milwaukee's Disparate Hip-Hop Scenes
Like just about everything in the city, Milwaukee's hip-hop scenes are divided by racial and geographical boundaries. Populated largely by college students and graduates, the East Side's hip-hop scene favors conscious and alternative rap, lionizes Talib Kweli and heralds the '90s as rap's golden age. Milwaukee's grittier North Side scene, on the other hand, is more in the moment, drawn toward contemporary club rap, much of it fashioned after hits from the South. Separated by just a few miles, these two scenes exist with little overlap.

I understand that robots and drones are going to play a big role in our future lives, but why are the more advanced ones always so creepy?
A Swiss outfit known as the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems, or LIS, has created a drone that can map and navigate unknown spaces. In theory, this could be quite useful for, say, taking stock of the interior of a collapsed structure. The AirBurr, as it's called, flies around the space crashing into things, like a fly or mosquito, and then uses those collisions to mark where the obstructions are:
(Is it just me, or does that narrator need to clear his throat for the entire video?)
Not to be outdone in the freak factor department, robo-overlords Boston Dynamics have tricked out their BigDog robot so that the thing can now hurl cinderblocks, presumably as a means of expressing rage:
It will get worse before it gets better. Gizmag is reporting that Italian Institute of Technology researchers are toying with the idea of a quadripedal robot kitted out with a pair of arms to provide a measure of manual dexterity. I'm interpreting that to mean they are creating a robot centaur, which I just don't think is a good idea. Let's look at a non-robotic centaur:
Now picture him made out of metal and imbued with powerful emotions, and ask yourself, do you want to fight that thing? Yeah, I didn't think so.
Hit the jump to see more of what's in store for our futures.

"This soup didn't work out for either my husband or myself. We couldn't even eat it. It was extremely bitter without any Guiness taste. I even added extra cheese as someone message in a previous post it still was bitter. My sympathetic husband who will eat anything I cook, couldn't do this one. Sorry not for us."
"great recipe. my husband loved it. i left out the chile flakes so next time will try it to add a little more flavor. My husband said it was better than pf changs"
"These are great and a big hit. Not an overpowering taste."
"My husbanded loved it even as leftovers which doesn't happen much in our family. I did add a little ground beef in the mixture. Still a family favorite. We did try it with adding in the Spinach and it took another package of manicotti. Everything else was left the same."
"It was wonderful. Everyone was raving over it at Xmas and asking me for the recipe. Let just say I'm not know as the cook in our family. I mixed the parmesan cheese with the potatoes."
"I used peppermint versus the orange. It turned out very well especially me being the novice baker. I could even make it. I took it to a potluck and people raved. Next time I will use a little less peppermint then suggested in another review. It came out a little strong"

The historically accurate fence and house colours make this one of the most photographed in Niagara on the Lake. Marrakech Mansion was built around 1880 the interior like the exterior enjoys many of the historical features of the time. We have added a Moroccan flavour with imported lighting, artwork and colour.
Location: The house is located 1/2 block from the river, 1 block from shopping and restaurants in the heart of the old town.
The garden: You will love the large garden with antique roses, perennial flowers and large grassed area. The garden has in-ground sprinklers so it always looks its best
Eating outside: A patio with afternoon shade and a private garden that enjoys afternoon sun. A Moroccan table & chairs are located in both areas. The gas barbecue is on the sunny side of the house.
Inside: The main floor has a large living room, dining room and study as well as kitchen. The house has the original pine floors throughout with hand knotted Moroccan and Persian rugs
Bedrooms: The four bedrooms are upstairs so you have the whole main floor for entertaining.
I love old houses and those in Niagara on the lake in particular. This is our get away spot too so we decorate it and keep it like it was our own.

Niagara Falls is just a 20 minute drive away. The drive takes you through the wine region and past several of the area's 50+ wineries
all of which will welcome you in for a tasting.
The Shaw festival is at the heart of any Niagara on the Lake visit with plays by George Bernard Shaw and contemporaries. Go to the Shaw web site to view a list of plays and buy tickets. Buy your tickets early however as they sell out quickly.

You can walk and carry your clubs to the course.

growth ring
growth ring
In a cross section of the stem of a woody plant, the amount of wood added during a single growth period. In temperate regions this period is usually one year, in which case the growth ring may be called an annual ring. In tropical regions growth rings may not be discernible or are not annual. Even in temperate regions growth rings are occasionally missing; and sometimes a second, or false, ring may be deposited during a single year (e.g., following defoliation by insects). Nevertheless, annual rings have been used in dating ancient wooden structures, especially those of American Indians in the dry U.S. Southwest. Changes in ring width are a source of information about ancient climates.

As a drought persisted in Michigan, gloom descended on its apple growers. And an uncharacteristically persistent heat cooled off the cherry business.
All in all, growers in Michigan said 2012 was a tough year.
By fall, Michigan produce distributors were having to cope with lower-than-usual supplies of homegrown produce.
Local suppliers hit hard
Retailers across the state that aggressively promote local produce may have felt the shortage more acutely than anyone else in the supply chain, said Terry Grooters, a manager with Ken's Fruit Market Inc., a two-store chain in Grand Rapids.
"We do the best we can with what we can get, but this year was particularly hard," said Grooters, whose two-store company specializes in Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables.
That loyalty cuts two ways, Grooters said.
"The local orchards we deal with are phenomenal people to work with, and we have some wonderful growers who really kind of look out for their own," he said.
Growers are on the lookout for customers such as Ken's, which will actively promote their products, Grooters said.
"You come into our store right now, and we've got all our Michigan-based apples of all varieties," he said.
The products are competitively priced, too, Grooters said.
"We've got 'em all for 89 cents a pound — Honeycrisp for a little bit more," he said.
Shortages, quality issues
Ken Courts, owner of Ken's Fruit Market, said the harsh weather posed a problem for his stores this year.
"Not many peaches around, sweet cherries were nonexistent, and apples, although they are around, they're not the quality of them isn't very good — a lot of small stuff," he said.
What was available wasn't expected to last long, he said.
"Even though there's different varieties around, in another month, it will be all gone," he said.
When the local supplies run out, so do retailer choices, Courts said.
"If there's no homegrown, you have to get it shipped in, and our customers understand that," Courts said.
Apple supplies were running low earlier than usual, with only an estimated 10 percent of the 2012 apple crop having come to market, distributors said.
"It hasn't been this bad since 1945, and I wasn't born then, and a few old-timers that are still around say this is even worse," said Jim Heeren, president of Grand Rapids-based Heeren Bros. Inc.
Nobody got "wiped out" by the drought, which was a blessing, said Nate Stone, chief operating officer at Detroit-based wholesaler Ben B. Schwartz & Sons Inc.
"There has been a limited supply of Michigan asparagus, a limited supply of blueberries, a limited supply of apples, but it's just like with any other category, if it rains in California, you use strawberries from Florida," he said.
For apples, Michigan's loss is Washington's gain, said Tom LaGrasso, owner of LaGrasso Bros. Inc., a Detroit wholesaler.
"We're just relying more and more on the Washington crop as opposed to having the local Michigan offering, which is an issue that affects certain customers that are price-sensitive," he said.
For those for whom the shipping costs are a concern, other fruits may have to fill the bill, he said.
