Along the same lines as taking a mental health day, make a date with yourself. Ask your partner or a friend or relative to take the kids out for an evening while you stay in and have a grown-up dinner or a glass of wine. Put your feet up and shut your cell phone off!
One single mom says: "I take a Friday night when my kids aren't home (they're having an overnight with a friend, they're at their dad's house, or they're just out for the evening) and make myself a really nice dinner (or get really good takeout). I set the table, use a cloth napkin, light candles, and enjoy a quiet dinner with a glass of wine by myself. Then I take my glass of wine and a rented movie, change into a fresh pair of my favorite pajamas, and settle myself comfortably in my bed. Ahhhhh..."

Mary jo, I won the same week. Lou at first called me Keith, not Ken, but the last name was correct. I e-mailed him and he confirmed I was the winner. If you haven't be sure to e-mail him your home address so he can mail it to you. It arrived in our mail on Saturday. It's a neat little package.
Ken, NC WD Daddy
Ken, Thanks so much for letting me know. I will definetly be looking for it. I had given Lou my address thru a Facebook message. I hadn't heard anything about it since, so I was wondering if I should say something. I bet mine will be here in the next few days. I am very excited!!!

The Bradley Center
Attendance: 13,087
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Wesley Matthews had a team-high 18 points and Brandon Roy chipped in with 17 points and five steals, as the Portland Trail Blazers earned an easy 90-76 decision over the Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center.
LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 14 points and eight rebounds, while Marcus Camby had a game-high 13 boards for Portland, which recovered after suffering a 110-98 loss at Chicago on Monday and has won four of five to start the season. Andre Miller and Dante Cunningham each had 12 points in the victory.
"I just relaxed and played. I'm playing the game I've always been playing. Since we were five years old -- I was able to go out there and (relax and play)," Matthews said.
Corey Maggette had a team-best 16 points and Carlos Delfino ended with 14 -- 11 in the first quarter -- for the Bucks, who have dropped three of four. Andrew Bogut went for 12 points and nine rebounds in defeat.
"It wasn't a good game for me personally or for the team," Bogut said. "We just got outplayed. They're a tough team, and we knew that coming in, but we didn't match their intensity."
Milwaukee jumped out to a 16-4 start behind Delfino's hot shooting, but the Trail Blazers were able to cut the deficit to 27-21 at the end of the opening quarter.
The Bucks went up by 10 early in the second before an 11-2 run drew Portland to within one, 35-34, following Cunningham's layup with just under seven minutes before the half.
With the Trail Blazers down 43-40 at the 3:22 mark, four free throws and Rudy Fernandez's three-pointer put Portland up 47-43 with a shade under a minute remaining, but Drew Gooden countered with a pair of three throws to make it a 47-45 game heading into the locker room.
Still up by two, 53-51, early in the third, Roy hit a pair of jumpers sandwiched around an Aldridge make and Portland was up 59-51 near the midway point.
Armon Johnson's three-pointer with under a minute remaining in the third had the Trail Blazers ahead 73-60, but Maggette made a pair at the stripe to get Milwaukee within 11 heading into the fourth quarter.
Another Johnson triple and Matthews' layup to start the fourth put Portland in front by 16 and the visitors held a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Hi all,
I started to use AutoCAD Electrical 2012. But i can't find European Standards. I have read to another discussions where saying that IEC is also European Standard but the elements (symbols) are not the same as what I need.
In AutoCAD ECSCAD 2012 elements (symbols) are the same as what I need. AutoCAD ECSCAD 2012 used also IEC Symbol Library.
How can i get this standard in AutoCAD Electrical 2012?
example: Fuse_Switches
In AutoCAD ECSCAD 2012 - Fuse Switches
In AutoCAD Electrical 2012 - Fuse Switches
Thanks in advance,
Hi Tahir,
It all depends on project or drawing settings and takes a lot typing to answer it here.
My advise is to use ACAD help:
Just type: "Switch JIC and IEC standards"
According to my documentation on the 60617 IEC standard, the Autocad Electrical representation is the correct one. About automatically converting your ECSCAD symbols to Autocad Electrical symbols: have no idea on how to do that.
The Australian standard (based on the IEC) has the ESCAD block as a THERMAL OVERLOAD contact and not a Fuse switch.
The ACADE symbol is what we use for a FUSE SWITCH.
Try doing a Google search for the IEC standards to get an idea of what the appropriate standards are.
Regards Brad
ECSCAD is incorrect in accordance with IEC60617. The symbols you depict from ECSCAD is a thermal contact and not a fuse switch. You can download a copy of the IEC60617 standards from the IEC store but they are expensive. A previous reply suggested typing into Google and this can often give you the correct symbol but be careful.
I believe the upper symbol is not a fuse but a circuit breaker with a thermal trip.
The upper symbol is definitely a contact with a thermal operation. A breaker has a cross where the contact comes down....
Regards Brad

It's more likably surly stuff from the singer, who explains how she ended up with the haunting half-nude photo that's now her album artwork — "Initially, we thought, 'I'll stand in the shower because the green wall looks cool,'" she said. "And then it was like, 'Why is she dressed in the shower? This looks fucking weird.'"
She also talked about the largely unfair pressures put on her — and how she feels like she can't ever quite win. As she explained:
I've literally had to go through all my awkward stages in public. I was doing interviews at 16 and I didn't know what I was talking about. I was just joking around. People still bring up things to me that I said five years ago. People want you to stay a certain way because they like you better that way. Then some people don't like that version, so they say, "You're a fake." You're either too ugly or too pretty. Too fat or too skinny. You're on drugs or you're too prude. If you're friendly, you're fake. If you are mean, you're a bitch. I just realized that you can't satisfy everyone.
The whole interview is well worth a read — catch it over at Pitchfork. Night Time, My Time drops October 29.

Help I can't sleep! Loud noise coming from living room corner. Outside there is a vent sounds like it's coming from there. Near it is a pipe and ac unit which doesn't work Noise is drowning out window ac unit.Sounds like a loud garbage disposal or washing machine. How do I make it stop . |
Follow-Up Postings:
Goodness! Could the AC unit have come back to "life" so to speak? Can you turn off the breaker to it to see if that is the problem? |
- Posted by helpwithhouse (My Page) on Fri, Jul 4, 14 at 3:14
Did that, still making noise. Could it be an underground pipe? |
What was it? |
You will need your sleep before meeting this head on so I suggest having your mother spend the night to make it stop. Sooner or later mom will have to return to her routine and there is a chance it will return. If it returns,just go sit at the kitchen table and invite the unseen tormenters to join you to discuss their greivance. Above all else,do not move about the house looking at and feeling of things in atempts to narrow it down. That will only upset them farthur by trying to apply logic and brushing them aside. If by accident you see or feel an obivous elemet contributing to the noise,do not reveal that information to third parties while asking advice. Doing so will only insult the spirits. Just be presistant in asking them to vist and discuss the situation. BTW,asking mom to be on stand-by is always a good plan to fall back on if required. |
Say what? lol |

Rescue for Squirrel Snared in Steel-Jaw Trap
As if we needed another reason why steel-jaw traps should be banned outright, PETA received a call about a man in Georgia using the cruel devices to injure squirrels who approached his pecan tree.
A distraught neighbor called PETA when she saw a squirrel fall victim to one such trap that the man had set on top of a nearby fence post. The animal was alive, hanging upside down by a crushed leg and in agony.
Despite the best efforts of PETA caseworkers to persuade animal-control officials to assist this suffering squirrel, the agency refused, stating that it does not respond to wildlife calls! But we persevered and got police to the scene instead. The suffering, badly injured squirrel was released from the trap and rushed for euthanasia.
Under Georgia law, the man is allowed to use these traps to harm squirrels if he considers them a nuisance for eating some of his pecans—but rest assured that PETA provided him with effective, humane alternatives for keeping squirrels away from his pecan tree in the future.
For every situation involving unwanted wildlife, there's a humane way to handle it. PETA's guide to living in harmony with wildlife is a great resource for everyone.

Here's Why It's Called the 'Ground Zero Mosque'
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Much has been written about the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" and its proximity to where the World Trade Center towers once stood, but here's an aereal photo that puts the location into perspective.
The red box is the old Burlington Coat Factory building where landing gear from one of the hijacked planes crashed through the roof, and it is the proposed site for Park51 (larger picture here):
Concerning the construction of a Ground Zero mosque, it's too bad that the sudden respect for private property isn't coming from people with a track record of giving a damn about private property rights — maybe they'd have just a little more support.
For example, Speaker of the New York City Council, Christine Quinn, supports the construction of a mosque on private property in close proximity to where Islamic terrorists murdered over 2,700 people — but what kind of New York grand opening does Quinn oppose? A Wal-Mart — on private property.
Maybe somebody can convince Quinn that Park51 won't allow employees to unionize.

It seems that inmates and guards in prison in Sicily have, with the warden's blessing, posted a video to show how happy they are, even in prison. The video shows them dancing and singing during daily tasks and recreation. The introductory message begins with a quote from Pharrell William's Happpy, "It's the story of a dream – to try to be carefree – even behind bars."
The little lady was practicing driving in a parking lot with her dad, when Florida equine police thought it would be fun to write her a pretend parking ticket. According to police, both the girl and her dad took the joke in the spirit in which it was intended, and then she got to pet the horses.
It's been a long week filled with crime and horror. Admit it, sometimes this stuff starts to wear on you. So to celebrate weekends, spring and happy hearts, here's a video filled with good people doing good things. Of course, in the spirit of the gritty, grainy footage you expect to see on a crime site, it's a compilation of Russian dash cam videos. Enjoy!
In January a Texas police officer was filmed on his cruiser's dash cam taking a moment to play catch with a young neighborhood boy who was outside playing alone. Today, a video has surfaced of a New Jersey cop who also took a moment recently to play catch with a group of neighborhood boys. Is it s trend? We hope so.
A police officer in Rosenburg, Texas, was patrolling a residential neighborhood in his cruiser on January 18, 2014, when he saw a lone boy with a football. So what did the officer do? He got out and played catch with the kid. This, all caught on dashcam and tweeted by Rosenburg police.
Two seemingly unrelated events intersected in the city of Jaén, Spain, when a robber gave police the sex tapes of a man who had reported a robbery nine days earlier. The content, showing the man engaged in sex act with children, was disturbing enough that the robber felt morally obliged to turn the man in.
Video has emerged of a May 28, 2013, body-retrieval effort by South African divers that became a rescue when they found Harrison Okene alive inside the Nigerian ship that sank to the bottom. Okene was in an air pocket for three days with no food or water, and no light.
A woman was run over, dragged and pinned by an SUV at a busy intersection while riding her bike to work in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China. Shown here is the accident and the victim's rescue moments later by passersby. The woman's upper body was pinned, and witnesses said she was screaming loudly.
A German retiree is grateful and pleasantly surprised by the pickpocket who stole his wallet in a supermarket in Walsrode, Germany, in March 2007, and recently returned it, intact, with extra money and an apology.
Here at Crime Library we are acutely aware of the fact that people die every day, some from natural causes, but others from foul play, the most famous of their stories filling our pages. Life, however, happens too and watching it wink in and out all over the globe conveys so much more than the map's creator ever intended.

It's a Jungle Out There

In "Miles From the Aisle," former CB editor Alison Henry takes you on an irreverent trip down the often rocky road of relationships. She can be reached at email@example.com.
Read more "Miles From the Aisle."
While IÂve always considered dating sites to be a cesspool of creepiness, IÂve also read many a success story working on Carolina Bride, so I set out to prove myself wrong.
The goal: 24 hours of posting, profile-building and general perusing of some of the nationÂs top dating sites to see just who, exactly, is out there looking for love.The result: After a fierce bout of IM-blocking, Âwink deferring and suppressing my gag reflex, I realized that these success stories are the exception  not the rule. Barely lasting 24 minutes, let alone 24 hours, I deleted my accounts and marched into the shower to scrub off the shame. Call me biased  after all, I wasnÂt really looking  but if youÂre a decent, semi-attractive person with a steady income and a full set of working appendages, the odds arenÂt exactly stacked in your favor. Match.comMatch.com seemed like the obvious place to start. I like their commercials  particularly the one with the attractive, smiling hipster tap dancing across the screen. ÂItÂs OK to look! they assured me, and before you know it, I was answering questions about hobbies I didnÂt even know I had, hoping to get paired with our modern-day Fred Astaire. But Fred, was nowhere to be found. What I did find was five daily matches, chosen specifically for me based on criteria IÂm certain I never selected. ÂLoverboy_08764 likes to read about personal finance and enjoys backgammon. Really? Maybe if I hadnÂt just overdrawn my bank account, I could buy it and learn how to play before our first date. ÂLonely_007 likes cheese too! Ah, the building blocks to a lasting relationship.eHarmony.comUnimpressed by the matching criteria of Match.com, I headed over to eHarmony. ItÂs been rumored, however, that eHarmony only accepts applicants who are of the Christian faith. Given my unabashed agnosticism, I began to wonder if fire and brimstone would reach across all 29 dimensions of compatibility. For what seemed like 40 days and 40 nights, I began to fill out their epic questionnaire. ÂHow would your friends describe you? ÂDo you always read the side effect warnings before taking a medication? (Yes, dare I say, religiously.) ÂHow many times in the last month have you felt plotted against? JESUS CHRIST! Just take me to my matches!I clicked ÂSave and Exit and planned to resume my crusade later, when an error message appeared on the screen: ÂWeÂre sorry. We seem to have lost your personality profile. We apologize for the inconvenience. ÂNumber of times in the last month you have felt plotted against? One. OkCupid.comAt the recommendation of a friend, my next stop was OkCupid.com. ÂIÂve known lots of friends who have had great success on this one! she said. Except the site she meant to say was Cupid.com  no "Ok." It was not OK.When the home page popped up on my screen, I was greeted by a friendly cartoon woman who just wanted to know the simple things. No lengthy questionnaires, just my gender, location, sexual orientation and whether I was single, seeing someone or married. Wait a minute  seeing someone? Married? That should have been my first clue that something was amiss, but in the name of research, I clicked ÂNext.ÂNow in the site, I noticed a section called ÂTests in lieu of creating an actual personality profile. What is this, Facebook? If I really wanted to be matched up with someone based on the result of ÂWhich ÂGreyÂs Anatomy Character Are You? I could do that in the semi-privacy of my own news feed.I continued to look around for a way to update some kind of profile, but all I found was a place to update preferences like how often I wanted to be notified about one of my ÂStalkers. ThatÂs right. Not only does the site acknowledge stalkers, it logs their activity and encourages you to make reciprocal contact with these people. Next, I read: ÂIf you choose Âseeing someone or Âmarried, but you still want dates or sex, you will still show up as Âavailable. No, no, NO!! (No!!!!) As I frantically searched for some way to delete my account, an overweight, middle-aged bald man instant-messaged me, ÂHey sweetie! and I narrowly escaped while fighting back the vomit. HermitDate.comAfter my encounter with OkCupid.com, a.k.a. Âdo-me.com," I found myself generally disgusted with the human race. Fortunately, I stumbled across HermitDate.com, because Âeven hermits need love sometimes. ÂDo you hate people, but still find yourself pining for true love? Why yes, I do. ÂIf so, you have come to the right place! Great! ÂHermitDate.com is for those special people who hate people, but still want some human contact. Not much, mind you. But a little bit.ÂThoroughly amused, I clicked around and read profiles of Âmembers with names like ÂBest Feature: Full Head of Hair  a man with Sasquatch-like grooming habits who reminded me of my last boyfriend. As I passed along this morsel of comic relief to my friends, I realized that my dating site search wasnÂt a total loss: I ended up in the company of other light-hearted cynics like myself, which are exactly the kinds of people I actually would date. If I was really looking.This affects comments on all stories.

Kim Jong-un: Can US trust North Korean leader to act rationally?
Kim Jong-un isn't the first North Korean leader to use threats for political gain. But the West doesn't really know what to make of him because of his youth and the uncertainty that shrouds the country.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un's saber-rattling rhetoric and threats to restart his nuclear program could be a rational move to garner more in the way of concessions in the world community and much-needed political street credentials among the populace and troops he commands.
But just how confident can Pentagon officials be about whether Mr. Kim is a rational actor?
Could he, in fact, be young, reckless, without great political savvy and in grave danger of making a move that could set off a chain of events – including an inadvertent war – with dire consequences?
"We've seen some historical trajectory here on where North Korea occasionally will go to try to get the attention of the United States, to try to maneuver us into some position favorably to them, whether it's more assistance or bilateral engagement," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said during a press conference last week.
"But the fact is that this is the wrong way to go. The action that he's taken and the actions they've taken and the words he's used, it is not going to project a more responsible, accountable relationship."
That seems evident. But how clear is it that Kim knows what he's doing, anyway? And is he, in fact, the one in charge? Or could he be vying for power with, say, North Korean military leaders?
On this question, Mr. Hagel appeared, publicly at least, to have little interest in a North Korean version of Kremlinology. "Well, he's the leader," he said. "I mean, he's the leader of North Korea."
Defense analysts say that there are indeed some hints that Kim may be losing his hold on the military.

Ben 10 Fishing ProBen 10 fishing game pro, this is arelax benten game. Gwen 10 is together with Ben 10 in a boat fishing, they try to catch some fish for diner. Gwen is steering the boat forward and backward while benten is doing the fishing for some really big fish. This game features a lot of cool levels, each level with a new task to complete. It will be showed before you start playing the next level. Your job is to help Gwen 10 and Ben 10 to cath the fish, as much as they can! We at nowgamez.com loved playing this fishing game, that is why we added it to www.nowgamez.com so you can also play it and have some fun.
Control and steer the boat to the left and right with the arrow keys, Gwen10 will then move to the left or right. That way Ben1o can do some catching in the best position. Control ben1o0 too, this can be done by pressing the down arrow on the keyboard. You might find it hard to cath some fish, but you will learn after some practice were you have to aim. The boat is running on fuel so when you are moving too much, you can run out of fuel so be wise to use it. A indication meter (top right) shows how much fuel you still have left. The gameplay in this ben 10 fishing games is really nice and easy, there is a cool boat and some really big fish. It is a relaxing game now you do not have to chase an ultimate alien or Vilgax, just do some fishing together with your cousin Gwen 10.

ration[J=C3=B6rn Nettingsmeier]
Thanks J=C3=B6rn, glad you like the first look :)
It's worth noting that most of the saturation functions are idealised
approximations, but judging from informal listening tests conducted
during development there is no appreciable difference from waveshaping
using voltage mapping data gathered from tube or diode simulations.
And once you give them enough gain, they all begin to sound more or
less the same anyway, because the output invariably approaches a
square wave.
If you're looking to build a classic fuzz pedal, you need two
saturators in series and some sort of filter or eq before, inbetween
and optionally after. The tuning of the filters is the part that
makes a good sound, much more important than the choice of diode, tube
or saturating function.
If, however, you're looking for digital 0 dB protection, you're best
off with mode 3, "clip". It's strictly linear up to amplitude ceiling
of -0.9 dB.

Carolina Chair is a fine company, but I was not aware they made sofas that size. I hope that you have carefully measured your doorways, halls, stairs and anywhere else that the delivery people are going to have to pass to place your sofa. This is going to be a very expensive custom built sofa from whomever you use, and they are not going to refund your money if you can't get it through your doorway. I do know a very good custom upholsterer in Sophia, NC who can build a sofa for you to your specifications He can even build it with removable arms and backs if that is needed. His name is Glenn Laughlin and he can be reached at 336-431-6602. Glenn does not own a computer. |
Why not buy some sofas from China? China is where all kinds of the furniture designed and produced. And we are one of the leading company manufacturing furniture. Come to have a look at our products on: www.ubangfurniture.com |

Joseph - I would consider the flower to be more of a pseudo-windmill because if it wasn't for the factor of the reverse tube in combination with the anthers and / or stigma turning into petaloids (thus making the filaments and style more visible) this would then more simply be a double I.nil...quite unlike the other type of Windmill that Nobu has that is neither double or reverse tube. The Japanese often mislabel their MG's. |
It's what the eBay vendor called it so that is why I am calling it this name. |

When it comes to hosting, India seems to prefer Julia Roberts over Angelina Jolie.
Roberts is currently shooting in Haryana for Eat, Pray, Love, while Jolie was in Pune in 2006 for filming A Mighty Heart.
Even when comparing with Bollywood actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Roberts appears to be comparatively scoring higher points, reports suggest.
Roberts seems to have won all she interacted with in India — villagers, media persons following her, and the Indian crew members.
Qualities reportedly appreciated in Roberts include simplicity, humility, relaxed appearance, accessibility, professionalism, down-to-earth style, drinking chai and street-walking with natives, eating with all the crew (while Jolie reportedly ate only with American or non-Indian crew), sticks to schedule, throws no tantrums or airs, does her homework thoroughly before shooting day, moved around barefoot, preferred walking over riding car to small distances, etc.

I like the idea, but whenever I think of chicken references, I think of Puerto Pollo (MI 3 - not Mission Impossible; the other MI) - or KFC and other commercial chicken operations (Foster Farms, El Pollo Loco, etc.) On that note, perhaps she should have a fast-food chicken suit with chicken launcher.
Then, her ultimate is... uh... Thanksgiving turkey?
haha nahh I think just a barrage of chickens for her ultimate. Single chickens for normal shots. I think this would have a much better effect than a thanksgiving turkey...
Added some example ability descriptions for the skin :P Check the op
So it looks like that means when Trist uses her ult to stop a gank the jungler would have been... *puts on sunglasses* cockblocked

I want a clumping bamboo that is short(er), will tolerate shade and is thin so that a person can see through it. Would a person plant several plants in an area of about 20 sq. ft. or let one plant continue to grow? Can the plant in the pot be divided upon purchase? |

Bambusas have a tendency to grow thinner when grown in a shady area. You may have to remove some of the culms to get the 'see-through' look that you want with any bamboo. I personally would put several plants in that area, but you are in an area where they(Bambusas) are borderline cold hardy. I'm not sure of a clumper that fits your area and needs without some care. How tall would you like the boo to grow?? If a plant is large enough at the time of purchase, you can divide it. I've bought some bamboo in a pot before and got up to 4 divisions out of a single pot. Depends on size. Kt |
- Posted by gardener972 7b-8a DFW (My Page) on Sat, May 1, 10 at 12:08
I think around 4-6 feet would be good. That's what I was wondering, if it could be divided. Do you get yours in a nursery or do you have to order it on-line? Can you suggest a reputable place that sells the CORRECT one as stated? |
- Posted by kentuck_8b z8b TX (My Page) on Tue, May 4, 10 at 22:07
There are a lot of reputable online bamboo nurseries out there. I have ordered from 4 or 5 of them and all sold excellent plants. Buying from Home Depot or a similar place may get you a mis-labeled plant. Best to go with a 'bamboo' nursery. There are some short Bambusas and one that grows to about six feet, but even if you have a taller plant, you can top it to the height that you desire. Kt |

An interview with Dilma Rousseff, Brazil's president-elect
By Lally Weymouth
Friday, December 3, 2010;
Four weeks ago, Brazilians elected their first female president - Dilma
Rousseff, the chosen candidate of Luiz Incio Lula da Silva, Brazil's
popular outgoing president. Rousseff comes to power with an unusual
background: She fought in the 1960s underground against the military
regime that then ruled Brazil, and she was imprisoned and tortured between
1970 and 1972. She then started in local politics and joined Lula's
government in 2002 as minister of mines and energy, eventually becoming
his chief of staff. On Dec. 2, in her first lengthy interview since the
vote, Rousseff spoke about her plans for the next four years. Excerpts:
Does having been a political prisoner give you more sympathy for other
political prisoners?
There is no question about that. Due to the fact that I experienced
personally the situation of a political prisoner, I have an historical
commitment to all those that were or are prisoners just because they
expressed their views, their public opinion, their own opinions.
So, will that affect your policy toward Iran, for example? Why is Brazil
supporting a country that allows people to be stoned, that jails
I believe that it is necessary for us to make a differentiation in [what
we mean when we refer to Iran]. I consider [important] the strategy of
building peace in the Middle East. What we see in the Middle East is the
bankruptcy of a policy - of a war policy. We are talking about Afghanistan
and the disaster that was the invasion of Iraq. We did not manage to build
peace, nor did we manage to solve Iraq's problems. Iraq today is in civil
war. Every day soldiers on both sides die. To try to build peace and not
to go to war is the best way.
[But] I do not endorse stoning. I do not agree with practices that have
medieval characteristics [when it comes] to women. There is no nuance; I
will not make any concessions on that matter.
Brazil abstained from voting on the recent U.N. human rights resolution.
I am not the president of Brazil [today], but I would feel uncomfortable
as a woman president-elect not to say anything against the stoning. My
position will not change when I take office. I do not agree with the way
Brazil voted. It's not my position.
Many Americans had sympathy for the Iranian people who rose up in the
streets. That's why I wondered if your position on Iran would be any
different than that of your current president, who has good relations with
the Iranian regime.
President Lula has his own track record. He is a president that advocated
for human rights, a president that always advocated for building peace.
How do you view Brazil's relationship with the United States? How would
you like to see it evolve?
I consider the relationship with the U.S. very important to Brazil. I will
try to forge closer ties with the U.S. I had great admiration for the
election of President Obama. I believe that the U.S. at that moment showed
tremendous capacity to show that it is a great nation, and it surprised
the world. It may be very difficult to be able to elect a black president
in the U.S. - as it was very difficult to elect a woman president in
I believe that the U.S. has a great contribution to give to the world. And
above all, I believe that Brazil and the U.S. have to play a role together
in the world. For example, we have great potential to work together in
Africa, because in Africa we can build a partnership to make available
agricultural technologies, biofuel production, humanitarian aid in all
I also believe, in this moment of great instability due to the global
crisis, it is fundamental that we should find ways that will guarantee the
recovery of the developed countries' economies because that is fundamental
to the stability of the world. None of us in Brazil will be comfortable if
the U.S. carries high rates of unemployment. The recovery of the U.S. is
important for Brazil because the U.S. has an extraordinary consumer
market. Today, the highest trade surplus of the U.S. is with Brazil.
Do you blame that on quantitative easing?
The quantitative easing is a fact that concerns us a lot because it means
a dollar-devaluation policy that has effects on our foreign trade and also
in the devaluation of our hard currency reserves that are in dollars. For
us, a weak dollar policy is not compatible with the role the U.S. plays
due to the fact that the U.S currency serves as an international reserve.
And a systematic devaluation policy of the dollar can trigger reactions of
protectionism, which is never a good policy to follow.
When do you plan to visit the United States? I know you were invited to go
before your inauguration on Jan. 1, but you couldn't go.
I am not accepting any invitations I receive. I am not visiting any
foreign countries. I have to set up my own administration. I have 37
cabinet ministers to name. I am planning to visit President Obama in the
very first days after my inauguration if he'll receive me.
And then you will invite President Obama to come to Brazil?
We have already invited him informally, during the G-20 meeting.
There are concerns in the U.S. business community as to whether Brazil
will continue on the economic path set out by President Lula.
There's no question about that. Why? Because for us this was the major
achievement of our country. It is not an achievement of one sole
administration - it is an achievement of the Brazilian state, of the
people of our country. The fact that we managed to control inflation, have
a flexible exchange-rate regime and fiscal consolidation so that today we
are amongst the countries in the world that has the lowest debt-to-GDP
ratio. Also, we have a not very significant deficit. I don't want to brag,
but we have a 2.2 percent deficit. We intend in the next four years to
reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio and to guarantee this inflationary stability.
You have said publicly that you would like to see interest rates come
down. Will you cut the budget or reduce the yearly increase in government
There is no way that you can cut interest rates unless you reduce your
fiscal deficit. We are very cautious. We have an objective in mind: that
our interest rates be convergent with international interest rates. To
manage to get there, one of the most important issues is to reduce the
public debt. The other important issue is to improve the competitiveness
of our manufacturing and agricultural sectors. It is also very important
that Brazil rationalize its tax system.
If you want to bring interest rates down, you must either cut spending or
increase domestic savings.
You can't forget about economic growth. You have to combine many things.
What is your plan?
My plan is to continue the trajectory we have followed until today. We
managed to reduce our debt from 60 percent down to 42 percent. Our
objective is to reach 30 percent of our GDP. I need to rationalize my
spending and at the same time have an increase of our gross domestic
product that will lead the country forward.
So what do you mean when you say "rationalize spending"?
We are not in a depression here. We do not have to cut government
spending. We will cut expenses but continue to grow.
We are following a very special path. This is a moment where the country
is growing. We have macroeconomic stability, and at the same time we have
great pride in the fact that we managed to reduce extreme poverty in
We brought 36 million people into the middle class. We lifted 28 million
from extreme poverty. How did we manage to do that? Income-transfer
policies. The Bolsa Familia is one of its major examples.
Explain how Bolsa Familia works.
We pay a stipend, which is an income stipend to the poor. They get a card
and they withdraw their income, but they have two duties they have to
abide by: They have to put their kids in school, and they have to prove
they attend 80 percent of the classes. At the same time, children should
also get all the vaccines, and they have to go through a medical
evaluation when they get their vaccines. This was one factor that was
responsible, but it wasn't the only one.
We created 15 million new jobs during President Lula's administration.
This year, we have already created 2 million new jobs.
You are so close to President Lula. Are you really going to be different,
or will you just be a continuation of his administration?
I believe that my administration will be different from President Lula's.
President Lula's administration, which I was part of, built a base from
which I will advance. I will not repeat his administration because the
situation in the country today is much better than it was in 2002. I have
underway government programs that I helped develop, like the one called My
House, My Life, which is a housing program.
My challenges are other challenges. I will have to solve issues such as
the quality of public health care in Brazil. I will have to create
solutions to public safety issues.
Brazil has gone for more than 30 years without investing in infrastructure
in a sufficient amount. President Lula's administration started to change
that. I have to solve the road issues in Brazil, the railroads, the
highways, the ports and the airports.
But there's good news: We discovered oil in deep waters.
Are you suggesting that the findings will finance the infrastructure?
We have created a Social Fund [whereby] some government resources from the
oil find will be invested in education, health care, science and
You have to prepare the country for the World Cup and the Olympics.
Yes, but I also have another commitment, and that is to end absolute
poverty in Brazil. We still have 14 million in poverty. That's my major
All the businessmen I met with in Sao Paulo said they had to be very
prepared to meet with you because you are very familiar with most
Yes, it is true. I think it is a female characteristic. We enjoy the
details. They don't.
What does it mean to you to be the first female president of Brazil?
Even I think it is amazing.
When did you decide you wanted to be president?
That was a process. There is no date. I started working with President
Lula, and he started to give some hints about me coming to the presidency,
but he wasn't clear on that in the beginning. It was a great honor for me,
but I was not expecting it.
From the moment that it was made clear to me that I would be nominated two
years ago, I knew that we had created the proper conditions to make it
possible to win the elections. President Lula had an excellent
administration, and the Brazilian people recognized that and acknowledged
that. We are a different administration - we listen to the people.
You recently battled cancer.
Yes, but I believe I managed to cope well with it. People have to know
that cancer can be cured. The earlier you discover it, the better are your
possibilities for a cure. That's why prevention is important. . . .
I believe that Brazil was prepared to elect a woman. Why? Because
Brazilian women achieved that. I didn't come here by myself, by my own
merits. We are a majority here in this country.

das Nac,oes Unidas ha duas semanas.
O texto aprovado cita preocupac,ao com casos de tortura, alta incidencia
de penas de morte, violencia contra mulheres e perseguic,ao a minorias
etnicas e religiosas.
Foram 80 votos a favor da resoluc,ao da ONU, 44 contra e 57 abstenc,oes.
Alem do Brasil, se abstiveram India, Africa do Sul e Egito.
"Minha posic,ao nao mudara quando eu assumir o cargo. Nao concordo com a
forma como o Brasil votou. Nao e a minha posic,ao", disse ela ao jornal
"Nao sou a presidente do Brasil [hoje], mas me sentiria desconfortavel,
como uma mulher eleita presidente, em nao dizer nada contra o
apedrejamento", disse Dilma.
O tema do apedrejamento esta na pauta internacional desde que a iraniana
Sakineh Ashtiani foi condenada `a morte por supostamente ter cometido
adulterio. Entidades de direitos humanos dizem que ela foi forc,ada a
confessar o suposto crime.
"Eu nao concordo com praticas que tenham caracteristicas medievais [no
que diz respeito] `as mulheres. Nao ha nuances. Nao farei nenhuma
concessao nesse assunto", afirmou Dilma.
Na semana de sua eleic,ao, Dilma ja havia afirmado que se opunha `a
decisao do governo do Ira. "Eu sou radicalmente contra o apedrejamento
da iraniana. Nao tenho status oficial para fazer isso, mas externo que
acho uma coisa muito barbara o apedrejamento da Sakineh."
Apesar das criticas, Dilma defendeu a atuac,ao do presidente Luiz Inacio

dos direitos humanos.

reduzir a relac,ao divida/PIB para 30% --hoje esta na casa dos 42%.
"Preciso racionalizar o gasto e, ao mesmo tempo, ter um crescimento do
PIB que leve o pais adiante."
Questionada sobre o que entende por "racionalizar os gastos", disse:
"Nao temos que cortar gastos do governo. Vamos cortar despesas, mas
continuar a crescer".
Dilma comparou sua eleic,ao `a de Barack Obama. "Pode ser muito dificil
eleger um presidente negro nos EUA, como foi muito dificil eleger uma

Ela voltou a afirmar que pretende visitar Obama nos dias seguintes `a

Dilma says it is against Brazil's position toward Iran
The president-elect, Rousseff said disagrees with Brazil's abstention in
UN vote on a resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran
The statement was made in an interview by Dilma the American newspaper
The Washington Post, published in yesterday.

The resolution referred to was voted and approved at the General
Assembly of the United Nations two weeks ago.
The approved text cites concern over cases of torture, high incidence of
the death penalty, violence against women and persecution of ethnic and
religious minorities.
There were 80 votes in favor of UN resolution, 44 against and 57
abstentions. Besides Brazil, abstained India, South Africa and Egypt.
"My position will not change when I took office. I do not agree with the
way Brazil voted. It is my position," she told the newspaper.
"I am the president of Brazil [today], but I would feel uncomfortable as
a woman president, not to say anything against stoning," said Dilma.
The issue of stoning is on the international agenda since the Iranian
Sakineh Ashtiani was sentenced to death for allegedly committing
adultery. Human rights groups say she was forced to confess to the
alleged crime.
"I do not agree with medieval practices that have characteristics [as
regards] to women. There is no nuance. I will not make any concession in
this matter," said Dilma.
During the week of his election, Dilma has already said he opposed the
decision of the government of Iran "I am totally against the stoning of
Iran. I have no official status to do so, but outside that I think
something very barbaric stoning the Sakineh .
Despite the criticism, Dilma defended the actions of President Luiz
Inacio Lula da Silva in the Iran issue and said that he always acted on
behalf of human rights.
"Lula has its own history. He is a president who advocated for human
rights, a president who always advocated for peace building."
Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was received in Brasilia, is
seen as an ally by the government.
In a recent interview, Lula defended Ahmadinejad again, saying that Iran
is sometimes not understood when he suggests that there was no
The president-elect said he intends to reduce the public deficit and
reduce debt / GDP ratio to 30% - today is at 42%.
"I need to rationalize spending and at the same time, have a GDP growth
that takes the country forward."
Asked what he means by "rationalize spending," said: "We have to cut
government spending. Let's cut costs, but continue to grow."
Dilma likened his election to Barack Obama. "It can be very difficult to
elect a black president in the U.S., as it was very difficult to elect a
woman in Brazil."
She reiterated that Obama intends to visit within days of his
inauguration and said the U.S. was invited informally to visit Brazil.

We…are…speechless over the third elimination on last night's episode of "Dancing With the Stars."
Every season, we know that we've got to say goodbye to some (if not all) of our favorites at some point. Even if they make it to the finals, we should be prepared for the possibility that they may not snag the mirrorball trophy.
All that said we could not believe that Sherri Shepherd and Roshon Fegan wound up in the bottom two this week. Sherri wasn't having the best week in terms of scores, but she killed that Tango on Monday night!
Roshon was no slouch either! Although we had our misgivings about his participation (another Disney kid?!), he's really won us over with his stage presence. He has fun with every routine! And the technique keeps getting better from week to week.
We hated to see either one of them go, but there was a sting when host Tom Bergeron announced that Sherri was heading home. Sherri was brought to tears!
"That thing that scares you the most, that makes you say 'I don't know if I can do it, I'm scared,' run towards it," Sherri told host Tom Bergeron, "It's so amazing on the other side."
