The Genesis of the Medicinal Plants Conservation Network (MPCN)Volume 1 Number 20 - July 2000
G. Hariramamurthi
A pioneering initiative of conserving wild medicinal plants in southern India has been underway since 1993. This initiative coordinated by the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT) involves key players including the State Forest Departments, Research Institutes and leading NGOs of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The Medicinal Plants Conservation Network (MPCN) was created out of the need to enable this conservation effort to grow into a sustainable movement, with primary members of the network aiming to provide mutual benefits and services to the associate members, i.e. non-commercial and commercial users of medicinal plants. A Living TraditionAlthough India's medical heritage is many centuries old, it is an evolving and living tradition. Today, millions of people in villages, towns and cities across the country, depend upon the traditional medical systems. Around 8,000 species of medicinal plants are used in our health traditions, across the length and breadth of the country. The Urgency to ConserveDue to the rapid degradation and loss of natural habitats juxtaposed with the over harvesting of some species, much of the biological wealth that is so intrinsically important to traditional systems of medicine has been destroyed or become endangered. The Genesis of the Medicinal Plants Conservation Network (MPCN)Since 1993, a major medicinal plant conservation project in southern India has been underway with the State Forest Departments of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu, Research Institutes and leading NGOs as the key players. Over 50 medicinal plant conservation sites have been established in the three states, across different agro- climatic regions, so that the entire diversity of medicinal plants of the region is conserved. This initiative of conserving wild medicinal plant genetic resources is the first of its kind in India. It is being coordinated by the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT), Bangalore. MPCN Aims
MPCN Conservation Sites
MPCN's Commitment to the Convention of Bio-diversity (CBD) and the Indian Bio-diversity ActThe Draft Bio-diversity Act of India based on CBD guidelines regulates access to native plant genetic material and traditional knowledge of plants for certain commercial purposes without the consent of the notified authorities specified in the act, and suitable benefit sharing arrangements with local communities. In this context, MPCN will encourage its members to implement the provisions of the Indian Bio-diversity Act. Conservation ActionMPCN members have made considerable progress in the conservation of medicinal plants, via community participation activities. The in situ conservation programme initiated by the network is reported to be the most cost-effective way of conserving inter and intra specific diversity of medicinal plants. Around 1,500 species of medicinal plants are being conserved, including 76 Red-listed species, are being conserved in and outside their natural habitats. The medicinal plants conservation efforts are being initiated in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Community OutreachIn India, 90% of common ailments are reported to have local solutions based on local health traditions that use locally available medicinal plants. With the difficulty of resource mobilisation encountered by the providers of organised Public Health Control (PHC) services based on western medicine, it has not been able to deliver 'health for all' in the country. It is also reported that these organised PHC services have been able to effectively cover only 30% of population. Conservation ResearchA research team engaged in the following areas of work supports the conservation programme:
Educational Materials and ActivitiesThe communication strategy for engendering local community support for the conservation programme involves use of wide range of media that the local communities are familiar with, and which have the power to communicate the messages to the target groups. These are:
Current Activities of the MPCNThe MPCN Secretariat brings out a quarterly newsletter 'GeneNET' for its members. A biannual conference of the network is organised to share and exchange experiences amongst members. On this occasion, an exhibition is also organised by MPCN members to inform the wider public of the activities of the network, including a display of MPCN members' products and publications. MPCN has a policy of inviting representatives of conservation organisations and others interested in MPCN to this meeting. MPCN also promotes state-level conferences of Nattu Vaidyas (folk healers) and women's green health organisations and medicinal plant exhibitions.
2. Membership of the NetworkAll the organisations involved in the southern India medicinal plant conservation project, initiated since 1993, are founding members of the MPCN. These include the research institutes and NGOs who have established Medicinal Plant Conservation Parks (MPCPs), and Forest Departments who have established Medicinal Plant Conservation Areas (MPCAs) and Medicinal Plant Development Areas (MPDAs) in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu. ResuméL'initiative pionnière de conserver les plantes médicinales sauvages dans le sud de l'Inde a pris corps en 1993. Cette initiative coordonnée par la Fondation pour la Renaissance des Traditions Locales pour la santé (FRLHT) implique des acteurs-clé tels que le Département d'Etat pour la Forêt, des Instituts de recherche et des ONG influentes du Karnataka, du Kerala et du Tamil Nadu. Le Réseau pour la Conservation des Plantes médicinales (MPCN) a été créé pour permettre à cet effort pour la conservation d'évoluer en un mouvement pour le développement durable, dans lequel les membres fondateurs se donnent pour but de fournir de l'entraide et des services aux autres membres associés, que ce soit des utilisateurs commerciaux ou non commerciaux des plantes médicinales. ResumenUna iniciativa para la conservación de plantas silvestres medicinales en el sur de la India comenzó en 1993. Esta iniciativa, co-ordinada por la Fundación para la Revitalización de las Tradiciones de Salud Local (FRTSL) tiene entre sus principales participantes los Departamentos Forestales Estatales, Institutos de Investigación, y las principales ONGs de Karnataka, Kerala y Tami Nadu. La creación de la Red para la Conservación de Plantas Medicinales (RCPM) respondía a la necesidad de permitir que este esfuerzo de conservación se convirtiera en un movimiento sostenible con los principales miembros de la red ofreciendole beneficios y servicios mutuos a los miembros asociados, i.e., usadores comerciales y no-comerciales de las plantas medicinales.

I really love the cat window, you did a great job on the cat, love the colors, very vibrant! Your bb's are great! I love the tg one, I gotta try that stuff, I love the effect. I just finished a mushroom too! Now you've inspired me to do my bowling ball! |
T---riffic work, I especially like the window with your kat. Is that your first glass on glass? I want to do some glass on glass also. I was hoping you could get a closer or larger picture of it, I cannot really see any details of the kat. I clicked on the picture, but photo bucket says failed. If it is to much trouble I will understand, and I will still think you do great work ;~) |
Wisrose, I don't know if this will work, but I just added a link to flickr so you can go see a bigger pic. This is actually my 3rd GOG, and I am loving it! The only thing that I find a 'bummer' is when the grout bleeds under the glass, so when gluing your glass pieces on the glass itself, you have to make sure you put glue on the edges or this will happen, it still looks pretty good though, and I guess the more we do the better at it we get! Just click on the word "flickr" and there click on the pic and to see it even bigger click on "all sizes" on top! |

Do you walk through the pet store, see the many toys available for your cat, and wonder if the expense will be worth it? Cats can be fickle creatures, but a good time can be found with almost any toy. Cats are like children they go through stages and sometimes need age appropriate toys and can get bored very easily. Some suggestions for toys include the cat towers, stuffed mice, small amounts of catnip, stuffed animals, ribbons, and plastic balls.
From an early age, kittens learn to pick up things in their mouths. It is an instinct, just like using their claws. When a cat plays, they like to grab and bit their toys. Let us look at the toys listed above. A cat tower is a great way to teach you cat where it is appropriate to climb. It will keep them off the blinds or curtains while giving them hours of fun. There are many styles of cat towers from the two story towers to the ones rising to the ceiling. The answer to your question is, the more levels they have the more fun and enjoyment they will receive out of a cat tower. A cat will use the tower for play as well as sleep. They like to bat at ropes and other items dangling off the tower as well as going through little tunnels up to the next level. If you have two cats you will have fun watching them give chase to the top often trying to knock the other off. A cat tower can be practical because they will scratch at it rather than your couch.
Stuffed mice are also important to any kitty's playtime. Not all mice are the same; most cats prefer the small leather mice with the multi colored fur and long tails. These mice come in twelve packs or three packs, and believe me if they are anything like my kitty they will tear them apart. Cloth mice are typically second during playtime. If you find your kitty to be uninterested in mice you might want to check the type of mouse you have bought them.
Catnip toys are very popular. Catnip will cause your cat to be more rowdy, which can be a plus because they wear down faster. Catnip before bedtime is a great way to get your cat to sleep for quite a while and leave you to slumber. Catnip should be given out sparingly. You do not want to give your cat catnip everyday because it can have adverse affects to their behavior. They can start to depend on it and have mood swings.
I have found the best toy may just be your old stuffed animal lying around the house. My kitty, Spooky, will bring me a stuffed animal when she is ready to play and she has stuffed animals in her toy basket. There is nothing more amusing than watching my kitty brings me a stuffed animal bigger than she is and proceeds to toss it in the air and pounce. Cats like the feel of certain things in their mouths that is why they chew on paper, plastic and even your blankets. The feel of the material in their mouths allows them to clean their teeth or when they are teething help reduce the pain. The stuffed animal can work in much the same way and keep them away from harmful products.
To answer my above question you do not have to go to great expense to entertain your cat, however when you spend a little on toys you keep your kitty from getting bored. You may even decide to hide a few toys and reintroduce them after a few months to keep from purchasing new ones all the time. Just make sure it is not the favorite toy of your pet or they may find other ways to entertain themselves that you do not find amusing.

Start and getting that Baby on Film
In the many types of photography you may have to do as a photographer, baby shots may be the most difficult. Even if you are not a professional photographer but you are trying to get a great looking portrait of your own child, getting them to cooperate is a major undertaking.
The first rule to live by with baby photography is that, as a matter of face, they ARE the boss of this shoot. The entire process has to be built around that fragile mood of this child. But there are a couple of tricks of the trade you can use, professional or amateur to get the best shot of that sweet baby.
Baby's respond well when they are fed and rested, with people they know and trust and when they get all the attention. So right off the bat, you as mom and dad can see to it that the shoot happens when requirement number one has been met. Now, that is not always easy. If you have an appointment to take the baby to the get his or her portrait made at the local photography studio, that mood may not be the way you want it to be.
That is why, if at all possible we would discourage taking the shots in a studio. If you can set up a shoot at the baby's home, where there is a comfortable setting and much that is familiar around, you have many more opportunities to get that smile that will make the portrait of a lifetime there. Now that calls for a "house call" by the photographer but if he or she is a photographer that wants only the best shot of the child, they will work with what you want.
Another advantage of scheduling the shoot at home is that you know when the baby usually is at his or her best so you can schedule it when that time of day is just right. In fact if the photographer can show up during nap time, there is plenty of time to stage the shot before the angel awakens. And by eliminating the car ride to the studio, you take away a huge risk of that fragile mood going south en route.
A second tip comes from the fact that babies like people they know. So if the photographer has time to meet the child, play with him or her and get a rapport started, then they will be more receptive to playful direction to get the shot you want. You will have to be clever how you introduce the camera as it can either be an object of fear or looked upon as a toy and the baby will want to play with it.
As far as the camera goes, think about the kind of equipment you will utilize to get that perfect baby portrait. You want it to be portable, so you can do those on location shots that work so much better. It should be small, both for portability and to not alarm the child. Digital is best because you can shoot lots of shots and never have to reload. But make sure it's a good quality piece of equipment that will shoot at a high resolution so when you get that prefect shot, it will transfer to a portrait printing nicely.
By setting up the room with the kind of backdrops that will create a good portrait, you can then have the baby begin to play with her or her toys and interact with parents, siblings or the photographer in a happy way. Before long that sound of the camera clicking and even the flash will become familiar and the baby won't pay it any mind.
The best shots are of the baby laughing. Try to get on the same level with the child as he or she plays. Mom and dad know the notices or games that always get a giggle so exploit their inside information extensively. The baby will enjoy getting to know you and hearing those familiar games coming from you should do well at getting that sweet laugh or smile you want.
By learning the baby's personality and how to get in sync with the child, you can coax pictures from the shoot that might other wise be impossible to get. And that is what you want if a portrait of a baby that you want to last a lifetime.

Explosions in the Sky on paper
How do you photograph an explosion? Well, when it comes to a fireworks show, it takes plenty of planning and anticipation of what you will need. Despite the fact that a fireworks display is a preplanned event, that spectacular moment when the fireworks explode in the sky is still a split second when everything has to work right for you to get the perfect photograph.
Now obviously, there are some equipment issues that have to be prepared to have your camera not only set up and ready but at the proper settings to capture that moment when all glory cuts loose in the sky. So from an equipment stand point…
. A tripod. The activity of the fireworks is so dramatic that unless you stabilize your camera, the shot will be blurred and unacceptable to you and to whoever you may wish to sell it to. The tripod should be easily transportable and adjustable so you can make adjustments on the fly.
. A shutter release that functions externally.
. Equipment to work at night as that is when your subject is going to occur. You can get a head mounted flashlight at any camping store so you can direct the light at the camera and still have both hands free to handle your equipment.
. A portable chair as there will be some waiting. Anything else that will help you ride out the wait such as food, water, music etc. should also be part of your preparations.
Because the fireworks explosion is sudden and fast, you need to be able to adjust the shutter speed and have the camera set up to react to manual focus so you can use your eyes and ears to know exactly when to snap that shot.
The key to a great or a series of great fireworks photographs is location. You want a location that has an outstanding vantage point view of the piece of sky where the most action will take place. This means you may need to take a position on a bridge, on top of a building or on a hill away from the crowds that come to see the show. This is not going to be easy to find so start early. It is not out of line to "scope out" your location days in advance and arrive hours in advance to secure that spot as yours.
Experience is going to be one of your best teachers as to not only the right location but how to set your camera focus and shutter speeds and how to position the view from the secured location so you can capture the rocket at the moment of explosion. So find ways to do some practice shoots at other fireworks displays before you set out to do the "keeper" shot. Many times minor league baseball clubs have fireworks shows and they would happily let you take photographs of the show in exchange for a few free shots. Here you can experiment with your experiment and get your bearings before setting up for a larger show.
Once the show gets underway, anticipate the explosion that you want to capture. Don't snap the first five minutes of the show but use that time to confirm that you have the right sky location scouted. The best times to capture the shot are right before the explosion which you can time by the sound of the rocket going up and the expected time before eruption.
With some experience you will get your sixth sense about where and when to snap that perfect photo and when you are done, you will have some spectacular shots to include with your portfolio or to display proudly. And this will lead to even more work photographing explosions in the sky.

Alat Gambar Computer - Adobe Photoshop
In the history of photography, there has never been a time that we can achieve such phenomenal results in editing as has happened in the digital age. And while there are a myriad of tools that the computer and internet have made available to us to enhance and change the images that come from a photo shoot, none can top the popularity and power of Adobe Photoshop. The program has become so synonymous with editing and creating effects that the term, "to Photoshop" has become a verb that means to enhance or alter an image.
We can "Photoshop in" new outfits, accessories or even people to a shot where it was just not possible before. So if you want a picture of you shaking hands with the president, you don't have to go to Washington to get it, just "Photoshop" your image into the image of the president and it will look as real as if you had been there.
Similarly, we can "Photoshop" out things from a picture we don't want to see there anymore. So if you have a physical flaw, that can be removed. You can even remove a distracting person from the background of the shot. The program is so sophisticated that these images are possible and you really cannot tell the alteration has been made.
Photoshop has become such a de facto standard for photo processing that if you are setting up a photography studio or business, a copy of the software is as necessary as Microsoft word or PowerPoint. The good thing about this software is that it is readily accessible and a lot of people know how to use it. So if you feel insecure about learning yet another computer application, you can probably find a college student, someone at the high school or maybe the junior high that knows Photoshop in and out and can help you jump start your use of the software as well.
But Photoshop has not always dominated this genre. The program was created in 1989 by two brothers, John Knoll and Thomas Knoll. While the brothers developed Photoshop for custom uses they had at the time, it wasn't long before the market potential of this software became evident. So, being smart entrepreneurs, John and Thomas founded a little company called Adobe and began operations in 1990.
Adobe has been a shining example of how to achieve success in the age of the internet. Today few of us who use the internet are not aware of Adobe. You probably cannot find a personal computer that uses the internet that does not have a free copy of the Adobe reader on it to read PDF files. The PDF format is yet another example of how this little company has created and then taken over a particular market of online business.
To really become skilled at using Photoshop, the first thing to do is probably find a copy to play with. Like most computer applications, you can probably find a copy on a friend's computer just to tinker with it and get a feel for the controls. Then if your friend is a wizard at Photoshop, let him or her show you some of the real "wiz-bang" things they can do with Photoshop using the same menus you were just tinkering with. This little Saturday afternoon experiment could turn you into a Photoshop addict forever.
After that, you would do well to download a copy for yourself. You can get an evaluation version that will give you most of the features. But you really only need that if you are not sure if you are going to buy a copy. Since Photoshop dominates this market, you almost certainly will buy a copy so you might save some frustration and purchase a licensed copy right away. Now, you will probably find yourself playing with the software for long hours just having fun and that's great. But don't overlook the value of taking some organized classes in photo editing using Adobe Photoshop. These classes can show you the shortcuts and how to get the most out of the software.
From there on out, your imagination is the only limit to how you will use this tool to make your photographs better for your customers. And you will be able to respond enthusiastically when someone says, "that's ok, you can just Photoshop that and fix it right up." Amazing Photoshop.

Popular Paintball Games - Bola di Cat ?
Di bawah ini adalah sebuah artikel tentang Games yang Popular yaitu Paintball. Bila di bahasakan menjadi Pemainan Bola Cat. Silahkan baca artikel di bawah ini:
As paintball improved and became popular, many individuals tried their abilities at it; giving rise to the assortment and diversity of paintball tournaments and games.
Recreational or Capture the Flag
Played by two teams, where each team has a flag and the objective of both teams is to capture or seize the opponent's flag and carry it to your team's starting point. This is one way for your team to win and another way is by eliminating the opposing team entirely.
Each team has to defend their base and simultaneously dispatch team players to eliminate the opponent and capture their flag.
These games are usually played in the forest; bunkers and structures can be put up throughout the area.
Scenario Paintball
This is a paintball game with a theme set up behind it: there are an endless number of themes that can be created making the game feel and look very realistic. There are a number of players; in many cases as many as a hundred are involved in each team.
Each team gets the theme (storyline) a day before the start of the game. There are usually two teams participating, having the "general" as a team's leader.
Each player is given a role and they should work together as a team in order to carry out and win an assigned mission. Props in accordance with the theme are introduced and distributed throughout the field. There are questions asked in connection with the theme and points are awarded for correct answers.
These points are totaled at the conclusion of the game and the team having the most number of points wins.
This can be played right at your own backyard, a friend's empty property or at times any property but you must as you get permission first. You gather your friends to form a group and then conceptualize your own game which typically is "capture the flag".
Also called "Center Flag", the speedball field is designed with many huge bunkers; usually "inflatables" filled with air that are shaped similar to big snakes, soda cans, water tanks etc.
Here, a team can be composed of between three to ten players in a game. There is only one flag that is involved and it is located at the center of a field. The two teams start at each end of the field and attempt to gain possession of the flag at the center and carry it to their bunker. The team that does this successfully wins.
Paintball can surely challenge the "soldier" in you. Give it a shot!

Some Tips on Edmonton Dating Services
Just when you think that the world has become a lot smaller because of advances in technology, people have nonetheless drifted away from each other. That is why the old-fashioned way of dating may not always work. The good news though is the creation of dating services. If you are living in an urban city like Edmonton or other parts of Canada, finding a date can be challenging. Because most single people are busy with work, they no longer have the time to hang out in clubs or attend parties to look for a potential date or partner. That is why more people seek help from Edmonton dating services.
Most dating services operate in a similar way. You tell them who you are and what you want, and they try to find someone who'd best fit the description that you gave. At the same time, your personality should also fit the description that the other person wants. In short, it is practically a matchmaking service. But while others go the extra mile by arranging the date for their clients, other dating service providers, especially these online dating service websites, grant you access to a catalog where you do the choosing yourself.
There are many sources of dating services. By browsing through the yellow pages, you'll find these companies where you can make a short personal ad or video. Your video, as well as dozens of others, shall then be viewed by their subscribers. They will then inform the company if they are interested in meeting this particular person. The company will then arrange for their date. This kind of dating service is also called video dating service.
Another way of acquiring dating services is through the internet. Here, the results are limitless. Some of these services are for free. Be cautious though of these free sites, as they may be sources of internet scam sometimes. Sites that require you to pay may be a bit costly. However, if the website charges you a certain fee, it is not a guarantee that it will yield favorable results. Free or not, professional internet scammers may just be lurking in the shadows. That is why these companies constantly remind their clients to exercise caution at all times.
Still another source of dating service is the phone. Some mobile phone companies give this as part of their service, or for an added cost.
In searching for the right dating services provider, choose one that has a proven track record in the dating services scene. Browse through their website. Search for some feedback that others may give regarding the company.
If possible, choose one where members are interviewed and screened before registration. While they may charge higher rates because of extra services that they provide, in the long run, you will thank them for ensuring your safety. Of course you've heard of horrifying stories regarding stalking and date rape. These measures are effective in minimizing such incidences. Other companies conduct a more personalized approach by providing orientation as well as dating and relationship tips.
Edmonton dating services can be availed of through many ways. All you need is to have some patience and an open mind. Decide on what kind of dating service would work for you. Then make some research before signing up for any particular service provider. Lastly, don't forget to have fun!

Breakfast Topic: Why did you start playing WoW? {WoW}
Jul 2nd 2011 1:47PM I used to be a huge tabletop AD&D player( 1st and 2nd ed). At one point in my life I needed crash space, and a friend of a friend offered me their spare room. They played WoW. 10 mins of watching them go through Stormwind and out into Elwynn and I was hooked.
They let me roll a warrior, while they were at work. Killing Kobolds in Northshire and that was it. Didn't have funds so I played on private servers for about 2 years. Then on to retail.
BTW private servers suck ass. They never work right, the Databases get wiped out often, and hell there at one point was no such thing as mob collisions. Imagine bosses coming through walls if you got within 10 ft of said wall. SUCKED!

I have deleted more than 100 alts since I stared playing, and have had 2 accounts. I'm an altoholic see. My original account data wise became so screwed up after 4 server transfers, that it started acting funky. Every maintenance day my items would vanish, progress would be lost etc. After 2 years of private servers erasing characters etc, this was a pain but no big deal. Talked to Blizz and they said something was screwy with my account and they gave me a deal on the battlechest for like 15 bucks(35 at the time). So I set up the new account in late october before cata launch and started over.
I haven't been on one main for more than a year and a half so far, and then I lost him.
I was more upset about losing my Grunty and all my purchased pets and mounts.

"We could throw a party in an airplane hangar in the middle of nowhere if we wanted to," says Roulier, "but what's the point? I would rather put my energy into planning the best parties that I possibly can instead of standing in front of a city council or a committee trying to prove what a legitimate businessman I am. I could make some money, the kids might think I'm cool, but unless I jumped through all of the hoops to make it legal, I would have completely damaged my reputation with whatever legal entities were affected by the event."
"Our goal is to always be welcomed back to the place where we held our last event," says Bills. "And I don't know why, for various reasons, there are a lot of promoters out there who could care less about that. And they screw it up for everyone. Because of them, our events are put under a microscope. So we've had to blatantly say that we have nothing to hide. We want the police to come in and help us make it safe. We want them to arrest people for drugs. And part of that was moving into traditional concert venues where we don't have to worry about getting busted."
Still, even with a legitimate city contract in place, Together Productions has had problems. Last October, after learning that the Colorado Springs Police Department had voiced concerns to City Auditorium managers over their willingness to rent the space for raves, Bills and Roulier set up a meeting with the department. At the meeting, Metro Vice Narcotics Commander Robert Ownbery, Deputy Chief Luis Velez and other officers reiterated many now-familiar complaints. Their department had seen the worst of the Rampart High School debacle in March and was now wary of inviting a repeat episode.
"I would say that event single-handedly did more to damage the rave scene than any other event in Colorado," says Bills. "We are still apologizing for that one -- even though we had absolutely no involvement with it and totally agreed with everyone who was shocked by it."
Eventually, Bills and Roulier invited the officers to attend their next event -- a November 18 rave that went off without significant incident. Soon after, Together Productions signed a contract with City Auditorium for 2001.
"I do recall being somewhat surprised that these promoters actually called us and initiated a dialogue," says Deputy Chief Velez. "I have always thought that if people meet face-to-face, they can find some common ground. And I would say that did occur between our department and their company. The officers who attended their event reported that it was well-run, professional, that there were no problems that exceeded that of any other concert that comes to the Auditorium."
Chris La Soya thinks Together Productions has forged a path that other promoters would be wise to follow. "Together really pioneered a lot of the responsible rave promotion in the area," he says. "They were working so hard to build their name and show that not all promoters are trying to pull something off or hide something. They showed us that a good promoter is an adult who places safety on the same level as the music and throwing a good party."
"A year and a half ago, there were a lot of things that I was willing to take my chances on," says Ha Hau, a Denver college student whose Triad Productions has found a niche with local Asian teens. "If I didn't have a venue, I was pretty sure I could find a way to get one. I wasn't totally interested in dealing with the police. I was pretty confident I could pull it off, no matter what. But now I have to make decisions based not only on business and what I have to do just to break even, but on how I can address the pressure that's on the scene. Because of the weight of the image that we carry, it's almost impossible to change."
Gradually, more and more promoters are doing something that once would have seemed antithetical to the rave culture's nonconformist origins: They're getting organized. They've hired attorneys, incorporated their companies and filed the appropriate papers with the secretary of state. But even as they act more like businessmen, they've found that Colorado often doesn't want their business.
As the promoter behind A&E Productions, André Galaviz has been putting on Denver shows since the early '90s. And like Heath, he's recently taken a break from an atmosphere that's growing increasingly hostile. Over the past year, Galaviz says, he's made repeated attempts to meet with Denver police chief Gerry Whitman, only to be told by an aide that the chief is not interested in discussing raves -- period. Last June, Galaviz sent a letter to Mayor Wellington Webb, in which he outlined the dearth of business licenses available to promoters like himself. No one from the mayor's office responded.
"If you call any city agency, whether it's Excise and Licenses or zoning or the police -- if you say anything that sort of signals that 'rave' alarm bell, you are immediately cut off," Galaviz says. "You'll get into describing the kind of event you want to hold. They'll say, 'Is this one of these rave things?' Click."

Using a motley mix of often charming animation and live action which includes actual home footage of Jung as a child, as well as the present time (as that bemused grown-up visiting the "homeland"), Approved for Adoption strives for a narrative and emotional complexity it sometimes achieves. The animated sequences are by far the strongest portion of the film, and one almost wishes they had been used exclusively. The drawing is distinctive and nicely detailed, possessing moments of real beauty, like the fields of wheat which magically part as characters walk through them. Another moment, showing Jung sleeping in the back seat of the family car, with the streetlights glancing over his recumbent form, has a nostalgically rare universality to it. The filmmakers rather skip over Jung's Korea visit, which does not possess the resonance it should have here and seems highly negligible. The live sections begin to seem more and more unnecessary distractions, as does a plethora of fantasy flights, like those depicting Jung's various nightmares, which are like self-conscious aesthetic flourishes more than anything truly germane to the story.
What does admirably come alive through the cartoon portions is the vivid complexity of family life, with ravening sibling tensions and some pretty serious corporal punishments (redolent of a less parent-child tolerant, non-"negotiable" time than now). Jung's Belgian caretakers were anything but the ideal, Disney-fied family unit. They are strongly and admirably portrayed as the real, flawed people they undoubtedly were, and his mother in particular emerges as a quite interesting, harried and stern, yet truly loving personality.

February 2010 Archives
The birds have finished chirping, the pillow fights are over, and all the chocolate has been eaten. Valentine's Day is officially over. But not in Japan! February 14th was just the beginning; White is just around the corner.
In The Land of the Rising Sun, Valentine's Day is celebrated almost exactly how we do it here in the states, but with a few slight differences. First, it has little to no romantic significance at all. And second, women do all the gift giving! Japanese women will buy bags and bags of chocolate gifts called "giri-choco" to give away to their male co-workers. Giri-choco means "courtesy chocolate," it is given to men as an obliged gesture of kindness which otherwise has no significant meaning of interest. Contrary to giri-choco, honmei-choco is reserved for that special someone.Honmei-choco means "Chocolate of Love.'' This unique gift is usually handmade or store bought and usually is accompanied by other gifts such as neck ties or wrist watches. But why do women go through all this trouble to give virtually meaningless gifts? They do it for one simple term, "sanbai gaeshi" or thrice the return. After receiving their gifts, men are expected to return the gesture with a gift 2 to 3 times more expensive. Enter White Day.
Held on March 14th, White Day began in the late 70's. The holiday was first dubbed as Marshmallow Day but shortly became known by its current name. The holiday is also recognized in Taiwan and South Korea. Originally founded by the National Confectionery Industry Association in response to Valentine's Day, the introduction of White Day turned the tides so that men could return the favor to the women who gave them gifts the month before.
Traditional giri-choco White Day gifts include marshmallows, cookies, and white chocolate. Darker chocolates have also gained popularity in recent years. More expensive honmei gifts like jewelry and white lingerie are given to women who are romantically linked to the gift giver. Consequently, mixed signals occur often because giri-choco gifts can be mistaken for honmei-choco gifts and vice-versa.
Some disapprove of the celebration as they consider it a commercial holiday only created to boost chocolate candy sales. Recently, an ironic holiday dubbed "Black Day" has been created and is celebrated on the 14th of April. Black Day has quickly gained popularity, as it is a time for singles who did not receive gifts for Valentine's or White Day to flock to bars, lounges, restaurants, and night clubs which gives them a chance to mingle and maybe meet someone special for the next year. The traditional food of Black Day is noodles with black bean sauce; a far cry from the heart shaped boxes of chocolates and romantic dinners at fancy restaurants that we're used to here in America.
Happy White Day!
Happy New Year! Happy Chinese New Year to be exact. This year, the celebration will begin on February 14th (Valentine's Day), ushering in the year of the Tiger. As always, it will be a time for families to come together and celebrate their unity and good fortune as they enjoy 15 days of feasting on delicious foods.
As with most traditions, Chinese New Year's origins begin with ancient folklore. As the legend goes, the ancient people of China lived in fear of a mythical beast called the Nian. The Nian was a fierce chimera like creature that resembled a lion, an ox, and a unicorn all at the same time. It was said that the Nian would always appear on the first day of the new year and terrorize the villagers by destroying their crops, slaughtering their livestock, and devouring their children. The people's only defense was to set food outside their houses in hopes of deterring the beast from eating anyone. This was their only means of protection until one year when they noticed that the creature would not go near a small child who was wearing a red cloak while clanging on a pan. The great and powerful Nian was afraid of the color red and loud noises! So, for every year after that, the villagers would hang red lanterns and scrolls in their windows and pop fire crackers to ensure that the beast would not return. The Chinese word for year is "nian" which is the same name as the beast so, the celebratory for Chinese New Year is "guo nian" or "the passing of the beast." Thus, Chinese New Year was born.
This coming New Year will bring with it the Year of the Tiger. The tiger represents power, grace, independence, and bravery. Every Chinese year is accompanied by one of 12 symbolic animal figures (rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig). Each animal carries its own unique attributes which is said to be passed on to people born in that year. So, if you were born in the year of the tiger, than congratulations, you're a Tiger! Well, tiger-ish anyway. Tiger people are said to be straightforward and outgoing. They never give up and are natural leaders, which is great because they also love being the center of attention. They can also be full of suspicion and too hasty when taking action, but they always take pride in what they do. The relationship between animal and man is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Chinese New Year's symbolism. Even the food prepared for the celebration has strong symbolic meaning.
Chinese New Year is all about the unity of family and feasting. Friends and relatives travel from miles around to bring with them dishes that are considered to be good luck for the coming year. Each food has its own symbolic reference to good fortune. Pork and cabbage dumplings, called "Yuanbao" are shaped like old style gold and silver ingots, and represent prosperity. Long noodles, leafy greens, and whole long beans are all served to give blessing of a long life. Round sweet glutinous rice, cakes called "Nian Gao" (Year Cake) are eaten to bring early prosperity and quick ascension to new heights. Citrus fruits such as pomelo, tangerines, and oranges are given as gifts because their round shape is seen as a symbol of unity and togetherness. In fact, the Chinese word for orange sounds like the word "gold," the word for tangerine sounds like the word "luck," and the word for fish sounds like the word for abundance. The fish must be cooked whole with the head and tail to ensure a good beginning and end of the coming year. During Chinese New Year, all dishes must be prepared using whole or uncut ingredients to avoid misfortune; using a knife is considered very unlucky because it could sever the family's good fortune. Many of the festivities surrounding Chinese New Year also revolve around luck and well-being.
During Chinese New Year, beautiful ornaments are hung in homes and markets. Oval shaped red paper lanterns and posters with Chinese calligraphy can be seen everywhere throughout the celebration. Images of Koi fish can also be found as they represent surplus and success. Many cities with large Chinese populations celebrate the tradition annually with parades and Dragon and/or Lion dances which depict the battle between the people and the evil spirits. Compared to American holidays, Chinese New Year would have to be Thanksgiving, Christmas, and of course New Years all rolled into one. With so much symbolism of good fortune and togetherness spanning the 15 day duration of Chinese New Year, it is no wonder why the Chinese consider it the most important time of the year.

One of the highlights of the SEMA Show, featured prominently in the GM booth, was Nic Ashby's Challenge America Chevrolet Silverado. In a post script to the show, the Victorious Project blog (http://thevictorious.org/) stated, "We're all on Cloud 9 because SEMA was a huge success for Challenge America in promoting the needs of our veterans."
The most notable build for N-FAB was completed by LDRSHIP Designs aka Nic Ashby which was a 2011 Chevy HD Duramax which was voted as "Chevy Fans' Choice Winner" which was well deserved for the hard work and effort.
Post Script SEMA - An exhausted film crew and veterans returned home after a successful launch at the SEMA show! We're all on Cloud 9 because SEMA was a huge success for Challenge America in promoting the needs of our veterans. The Victorious Project officially launched, the Chevrolet Silverado was a hit and Nic Ashby did a masterful job of coordinating all the generous sponsors who contributed parts and accessories to make the Chevrolet Silverado truck the spectacular machine that it is. As we mentioned, the Giant bikes looked awesome sitting in the bed of the truck and we're just so pleased that it all came together. Keep an eye on our web site for more exciting news coming soon! We're looking for partners in putting together the television series too so be sure to contact us if your company is interested in coming on board to help our veterans achieve a Victorious life. Contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
SEMA Day 2/3 Update
The Victorious Project is going strong at SEMA filming veterans interacting with the thousands of SEMA participants including Casey Owens and Joe Perez sent by Challenge America. Casey was severely wounded at war in Iraq as a Marine Corps Corporal. Casey has rebuilt a vigorous life including testifying before Congress about the needs of Veterans for a better system of care. Casey is also extremely active competing in marathons in his wheelchair, skiing, and last night he drove a racing cart at Pole Position in Las Vegas courtesy of BDL and their Manager of Sales and Marketing, Nick Winters. More information about Joe Perez will be forthcoming. Joe is a former Marine from Nevada and his participation was appreciated.
Jerry Macias reports that Nic Ashby's Silverado was a grand slam home run in the show and he's collecting tons of footage of all the excitement there. Chevrolet has been 100% behind our veterans and has graciously welcomed the Victorious project into their booth. One day to go on Friday and then it will be time to pack up and head for home.
SEMA Day 1
Big news already from SEMA! Nic Ashby's truck WON the online Facebook contest so thanks to everyone who voted for the Challenge America 2011 Chevy Silverado! Nic got interviewed today and Jerry was right there with the cameras rolling.
Jerry is busy filming at SEMA today and Nic is busy with his various entries into the show! We are expecting to have some pictures soon of the booth and the truck so keep an eye on our site for inside info!
Linda Henigan and crew are on their way out to SEMA today and will be arriving to assist the veterans and work with Jerry on filming.
The two Giant Bicycles, Inc. bikes look AWESOME in the back of the Victorious Silverado and we're so happy that Giant chose to join the cause of supporting our veterans.
Check out the facebook voting here http://www.facebook.com/chevysilverado?v=app_115849495143147.
Victorious heads for the SEMA Chevrolet Booth
Wow, it has been a wild, wild few weeks getting ready for the SEMA Auto Showin Las Vegas starting tomorrow! Everyone involved in The Victorious Project has been burning the candle at both ends and some of us in the middle and the box the candles came in too! Nic Ashby hit the road in a seven vehicle caravan on Halloween with all seven vehicles he's involved with this year (ah, youth) which is an impressive list that includes the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado and Nic's National Guard Chevy Camaro SS that was awarded a "Grand Tourismo" award at the 2009 SEMA. Jerry is the road to SEMA this morning with a truck loaded down with video gear while Nic is already there at the Las Vegas Convention Center setting up the vehicles and booths. Linda is working with Challenge America (check out their NEW web site!) on prepping the Veterans and some of us are staying home (sigh) and working on web updates! Go Veterans, Go Victorious!

Outline plans to add up to 5,000 homes and jobs to Norfolk's fourth-largest town have been approved after a special meeting.
The Thetford Sustainable Urban Extension plan was backed by members of Breckland Council at a meeting in the town today.
Members were 10 to one in favour of the plans, which will see 5,000 homes, three primary schools, 19.5 hectares of employment land and infrastructure improvements brought in over the next 25 years. The houses will be developed in five phases.
Around 50 members of the public were given an overview of the plans by Simon Wood, from Breckland Council's planning department.
During the presentation he revealed that the affordable housing allotment for the project would be 8.9 per cent.
That is despite planning consultants, DTZ, recommending a figure of 15 per cent. Breckland's affordable housing policy requires that 40 per cent of houses built on new developments must be affordable.
Frank Sharpe, Breckland councillor for Swaffham, said that figure would be further split between affordable housing and shared equity housing. He quizzed planners, Pigeon, on the figure.
"Breckland says we should be looking for 2,000 affordable homes on this project but we have heard that's not doable and we accept that," he said.
"But going from 2,000 down to 300 is a hell of a drop. Whose idea was it to split that housing quota 60 to 40?"
William van Cutsem, from Pigeon, said the affordable housing figure had been chosen openly in consultation with Breckland to make sure the project was "viable".
"We did all this on an open book basis so as to be totally transparent. We looked at the amount of affordable housing that we needed and worked with Breckland to pick an appropriate figure," he said.
Paul Jackson, Breckland Planning Manager, said the 8.9 per cent figure was open to change in future.
"We'll have 15 per cent going in the first phase and then once 80 per cent of the scheme is complete, we can reassess the situation," he said.
Representatives from several councils spoke at the meeting, including Thetford, Croxton, and Kilverstone and Brettenham.
Speakers from groups such as the Thetford Society and Norwich Road Residents' Association also gave their views on the plans.
Stuart Wilson, from the Thetford Society, raised concerns about the impact on birdlife in the area.
"No stone curlew were recorded nesting on the land for the proposed development. But who did the survey? Not the RSPB but a private company hired by the developers.
"If they found no nesting stone curlew, why have the developers offered land in mitigation?" he said.
Bob King, from Croxton Parish Council, said his council were concerned that the development would create a "dormitory town", due it to being restricted to the north and east of the town.
Further concerns were raised about the upkeep of pedestrian routes, the proper allocation of the £156m Section 106 money being paid by the developers, and the effect on the town's utilities.
Mr van Cutsem told the meeting that these issues had been considered during the two year consultation process.
He added that the benefit of the new housing to the town centre would outweigh its drawbacks.
Up to 25,000 construction jobs and 5,000 other jobs would be created by scheme, according to Mr van Cutsem.
The developers - Pigeon and the Crown and Kilverstone estates - will now have to submit individual, detailed, planning applications for each phase of the plan.
Were you at the meeting? What do you think of the plans? Let us know by emailing reporter Andrew Fitchett on firstname.lastname@example.com

So where are the local jobs for these 5000 homes - or will they commute to Cambridge and Norwich?

It would seem that the meeting was a complete waste of time and money as it was very clear that the decision had already been made. Those of us who attended thinking that our opinions might make a difference were sadly disabused. As usual the residents of Thetford get unwelcome plans foisted upon them by people who neither live in nor care about the town.

Too right Caroline J, but if you knew anyting about the planning process at Brekkeland council you would know it is totally bent and designed solely to line the pockets of cronies and insiders, at any cost. To heII with stone curlews, that is if there are any left after the 'essential' A11 dualling.

Thanks for the info pumpkinpuss! I always like to know people's opinion on the flavor of something that could be just ornamental. I saw a lot of yellow - kind of a light yellow color - on people's doorsteps this year. Am also wondering about whether or not these are just decorative in nature or for good eating, too. Susan |
New England Seed had the seed for Porcelain Doll in their 2012 catalog and I imagine they'll have them in the 2013 catalog. The ones I saw in the stores both in southern OK and in the Dallas area were not very attractive. They looked like they'd had a lot of tough weather and the color was really uneven and splotchy---not nearly as attractive as the ones in the catalog. They were even less pink in person than in the catalog photos. It definitely is a pale coral to coral-pink color. Out of the dozens I saw at several different stores, only one had fairly even, solid color. I am not sure why they looked so bad, but given that we had widespread drought in the USA this year, I expect the weather was the problem. I think a home gardener would have a really good chance of getting the pretty color because pumpkins in a home garden would get more hands-on and up-close attention than acres of pumpkins in a field.

Pine tree [S]
Heb. tidhar, mentioned along with the fir-tree in Isaiah 41:19 ; 60:13 . This is probably the cypress; or it may be the stone-pine, which is common on the northern slopes of Lebanon. Some suppose that the elm, others that the oak, or holm, or ilex, is meant by the Hebrew word. In Nehemiah 8:15 the Revised Version has "wild olive" instead of "pine." (See FIR .)

How to Put Bit Guards on a Horse's Bit
Bit guards are difficult to put on because the tough rubber resists stretching over a bit's large cheek pieces. Traditionally, you would boil the rubber to make it soft enough to stretch with your bare hands, but the following method is much simpler.
1Thread a piece of twine through one of the bit guards and tie the ends together to make a loop. Repeat with a second piece of twine so that you have two loops on the bit guard.Ad
2Put your foot through one of the loops and press your weight down.
3Pull up on the other loop to stretch the bit guard enough to pass the bit through the opening.
4Cut both twine pieces near the knot and remove them from the bit guard.
5Using the same two pieces of twine, repeat steps 2-4 to put on the second bit guard.
6When you bridle your horse, put one bit guard on each side of his mouth. Check to see if the bit guards have made the bit too narrow for your horse's mouth. If so, go up 1/4" (6.35mm) on the bit's size.Ad
We could really use your help!
female accessories?
inline skating?
- Bit guards don't have an inside or outside, so it doesn't matter which direction you put them on.
- Bit guards are used on loose ring bits to protect the corners of the horse's mouth from being pinched when the ring rotates.
- Bit guards will make the bit a little narrower on your horse. Be sure to buy any loose ring bit a little wider than your horse's normal size, to leave room for the guards. (Some people will even use bit guards on non-loose-ring bits that are too big as a temporary solution.)
