Wanderers link is lost on Warnock
The Eagles boss has been mentioned as a potential candidate to succeed Gary Megson at the Reebok Stadium. Numerous other high-profile names have been linked with the role, with Burnley's Owen Coyle reported to be the Trotters' favoured choice. However, Warnock could come into the reckoning if the Clarets chief snubs Bolton's advances. Having been at Palace for the last two-and-a-half seasons he could be persuaded to take on a new challenge, while he may also be keen to have another crack at the Premier League after his only previous experience of life in the top flight saw him relegated with Sheffield United in 2006/07. For now, though, Warnock is looking to play down the rumours, insisting that he remains fully focused on his duties at Selhurst Park. "I haven't heard anything about it whatsoever," he said in the Daily Star. "I'm just going about my business at Palace." Next Permanent Bolton Manager. Click here to bet.

Food Resolutions: What To Not Give Up In 2013
abovetopsecret.com |
With 2013 looming closer and New Year's resolutions dominating your drunken conversations, you're bound to start hearing blasphemous phrases like, "I'm going to stop drinking." Can someone get this guy a shot? He seems to have lost his mind.
About a quarter of American adults formed New Year's resolutions at the end of the Great Depression, according to Wikipedia. By the start of the 21st century, about 40 percent did. The question is, who actually keeps them? Well we can't tell you that, but we can tell you some things that are too good to give up in 2013, so don't even bother trying.

Chances are after partying all night on NYE and kissing a stranger or two just so you have the alleged New Year's kiss, you'll wake up January 1 with a banging headache tied to the promise that you won't drink in 2013. Lies. All lies.
Has no one ever told you that the best cure for a hangover is a shot of what got you drunk in the first place? So since the world didn't end and we are alive to see 2013, celebrate by pouring yourself a drink and toasting to a year full of drinking. Take that, Mayans!

Contrary to popular belief, cheesy can be good. Most people give up cheese in efforts to lose weight because of its high fatty and dairy content, but just stop for a second and smell the cheese. Think of all the things you will be giving up by avoiding cheese. There's pizza, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, cheesecake, lasagna, and a million other dishes, which a pinch or a pound of cheese is added to. Giving up cheese just seems like too much work, after all, cheese is part of American culture. So don't be anti-American. Be cheesy.

Yeah we know. Soda is bad for you. Soda makes America obese. Soda has no nutritional value and gives you weird fat in weird places.
But even knowing all those things soda is still too damn good to give up, like an explosion in a can waiting to be popped open and go off somewhere. Somewhere being your body. Who cares? Open happiness. Besides, what's a Cuba Libre without some cola? Or what are you supposed to have your cheesy pizza with if not soda - the perfect childhood meal. Now imagine if you had given up all three things up to now. You'd be eating water and crackers. Oh wait, no, crackers are in the bread food group, next on our list.

The Lost Colony
Waterside Theater has been the home of Paul Green's THE LOST COLONY since its inception in 1937. As the oldest outdoor symphonic dramas in America, THE LOST COLONY portrays the fascinating story of 117 men, women and children as they attempt to make a new home in an untamed land, then disappear without a trace. THE LOST COLONY has remained one of history's greatest mysteries for more than 400 years. Director Drew Scott Harris has woven Paul Green's dream into a tapestry of Elizabethan England and the world the colonists found on Roanoke Island. The classic love story - transcending English social boundaries - is at the center of Paul Green's American epic. Clashes with Indians, overcoming adversity, and the ability to still find humor in everyday life keep audiences - young and old - captivated. Lost Colony
North Carolina Maritime Museum
The North Carolina Maritime Museum documents, collects, preserves, and researches the maritime history, and its corollary natural history, of coastal North Carolina for the purpose of interpreting this history through educational services and exhibits for our contemporary society, and passing intact its material culture to future generations. The museum complex includes the main exhibit hall and the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center for the construction and restoration of wooden boats. The museum also maintains the Charles R. McNeill Library and archives with books, journals, photographs and manuscripts on or relating to maritime history. ## The North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort preserves and interprets all aspects of the rich maritime heritage of the state through educational exhibits, programs and field trips. Exhibits take visitors from the dugout canoes of native Americans through the variety of sail rigs and hull designs of explorers, traders and privateers. They recall the brave traditions of the US Lifesaving Service and the African American heritage in that service and the menhaden fishery, tools of wooden boat builders and navigators, and repair shops of the earliest outboard engines. Artifacts from the shipwreck that is proving to be Blackbeard the pirate's flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge add the excitement of one of the most significant archeological finds of this century. In the museum's Watercraft Center, visitors watch the construction and restoration of wooden boats. Educational programming includes the Cape Lookout Studies Program, Boatbuilding Skills Classes, Summer Science School for Children and the Junior Sailing Program as well as field trips to coastal habitats, kayaking, adult, family, and private sailing instruction, sliding seat rowing, fossil hunting trips, birding trips, marine life collecting cruises, wildflower and mushroom walks.

The North Carolina Maritime Museum on Roanoke Island, located in the historic George Washington Creef Boathouse is a working boat shop where volunteers and staff take on projects including small craft restoration, exhibit design, and new boat construction. The shop has restored several traditional sailing watercraft that, in season, grace the waters of Shallowbag Bay in front of the museum. The Boathouse namesake, George Washington Creef, was a local builder who developed a unique style of workboat called a Shad boat for the surrounding waters of the Albemarle Sound and Pamlico Sound. The Shad boat is designated as the State Boat of North Carolina. The museum exhibits a number of small watercraft representing the region's maritime history - an 1883 Creef Shad boat, spritsail skiffs, and a 1948 Davis Runabout - and offers a variety of educational programs.

Outer Banks Scenic Byway
Ocracoke Island
The Outer Banks Scenic Byway is one of 44 Scenic Byways that the North Carolina Department of Transportation has designated to give visitors and residents a chance to experience a bit of North Carolina history, geography and culture while raising awareness for the protection and preservation of these treasures. From Whalebone Junction on the Outer Banks of NC, this 111 miles byway travels south along North Carolina Highway 12, on bridges and ferries across several inlets, and ending in Beaufort, NC. The Hyde County portion of this byway begins as you board the free ferry on Hatteras Island and ends on Ocracoke Island as you board a toll ferry to Cedar Island. The crossing time for the Hatteras Inlet to Ocracoke Island is about 35 minutes. The present Hatteras Inlet opened in 1846. Notice the wild horses while following North Carolina Highway 12 for 13 miles along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore across Ocracoke Island to the village of Ocracoke. The animals are Banker Ponies, descendants of horses brought by early explorers on ships wrecked in the Atlantic. A herd also is maintained on the islands south of Beaufort. Ocracoke was first called Wococon in the 1500s (when it was an Indian village) and has since gone through a series of names derived from the Algonquian for ''enclosed place.'' One of the oldest operating lighthouses on the Atlantic is located on Silver Lake, a tidal basin and harbor in the village of Ocracoke. The 75-foot tall Ocracoke Island Lighthouse was built in 1823 and is the only operational lighthouse within a town. The Ocracoke Inlet, once North Carolina's primary trade inlet, was the site of the death of the notorious pirate, Blackbeard, who was killed on November 22, 1718. From Ocracoke Inlet, the Cedar Island ferry to Carteret County is a 2.5 hour ride to continue the Outer Banks Scenic Byway, or travel the Alligator River or Pamlico Scenic Byways by taking the toll ferry to Swan Quarter.

Girardin and Winegarden AncestryUpdated February 3, 2004 |
I have been researching my ancestry on both sides of my family for a while now. At this point, I have not gotten very far back because I have been adding so many people who were brothers, sisters, or cousins of my direct ancestors. The earliest birthdate I have is for John Rusho, who was born somewhere between 1802-1810. I have almost 800 names in my file now and it continues to grow. Feel free to look for your own relatives here. If you have any additional information for me, or if I have made a mistake, PLEASE let me know. I am always eager to plug in more information and make this tree as accurate as possible. Enjoy! The people I am especially interested in finding information about are: George Trimble Mittie Jane Ward William Henry Hamlin Louise Hockett Samuel Winegarden Harry Brian Knapp, who holds very sentimental interest Thomas Head Peter Girardin William Hearsnep |

Sign in to digital edition
Saturday 28 Feb 2015
By Eric Magnuson. Web onlyPublished online: 28 June 2012
Ivan Karp, the New York gallerist who Newsweek magazine called "the chief salesman of the pop-art movement", died of natural causes in his sleep at his Charlotteville, New York, home on 28 June. He was 86.
From 1959-69, Karp was assistant director of the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York, where he championed the early careers of some of the era's biggest names, such as John Chamberlain, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol. Karp once recounted in an interview that while working as a dealer for the Martha Jackson Gallery in the late 1950s, he sold an early Chamberlain sculpture out of the gallery's basement for $275, "based on my own fervour and my own conviction… that it was really something interesting." He said that the sale convinced Jackson to keep Chamberlain on after first considering the artist's work "pretty strange and pretty difficult".Karp previously worked as the art critic for The Village Voice from 1954-55. "Somebody said that they needed writers who would work for nothing," he later said about joining the paper.After ten years at Leo Castelli, Karp branched out on his own in 1969 and founded the pioneering Soho art gallery OK Harris, which regularly promoted the photo-realist movement and was one of the first galleries to show the artist Robert Bechtle. The gallery is still open after 43 years, now at 383 West Broadway. A memorial service will be held this autumn, according to OK Harris.

Ivan suggested frames or siding on my husband,Stephen Stoller's work-recently he emailed a kind word-Yes he was kind-the Gallery was calm-and love persisted-I'm sorry
12 Nov 12 14:58 CET
In 1976, when I lived in the East Village, I would frequent the galleries in SOHO. One day I mustered up the guts and strength to show Mr.Karp slides of my realist paintings. He looked at them, graciously taking the time to do so, and was attracted to one specific oil I had done in 1975 titled "9 to 5," a piece depicting a tired working class man standing in the doorway with his radio in one hand and his newspaper in the other, after a hard days work as a working class US citizen. When he saw that piece, he commented that it was "top-notch," as he put it, but said that my realist paintings were too much like some of the work he was already representing. He suggested other NYC galleries to me at that time. It struct me in a profound way, and for the rest of my life, that this man, as busy as he was, took that moment in time, when he didn't have to, to give me his vote of confidence. I have successfully sold my work, since that experience. James S Rousonelos: www.JSRArtStudio.com
30 Aug 12 15:23 CET
I met Ivan Karp in 1995. I was a young art dealer at the time. He was already a sage. Over dinner one night I asked him what he did last week, and he told me he had played Craps. He invited me to join him the next time he went to Las Vegas. A month later I stood with him at a Craps table at the Golden Nugget. I had never gambled before. He was an irascible tutor, and a stern mentor. He told me I "threw like a chicken." The experience, let alone the assessment changed my life, and some ten years later it anchored my memoir, "Rolling the Bones." Yesterday, I finished the first draft of a novel, "The Ten Ways of Craps." Its central character is based on Ivan. He now has a whole book. He deserves it. I will miss his vigor, irreverence, and pizazz more than he would ever imagine.
13 Aug 12 14:51 CET
It is sad news for the art world to lose this wonderful person, Ivan Karp. It has always been my pleasure to come into the OK Harris gallery and experience the art world a I have always loved it to be. The variety of works in each exquisite room has always revealed the sensibility of skill and extraordinary eye of the artists he curated, each expressing a part of this man's inner sense of what creativity means and showing us what we can look at to give us a map of the world's creative timeline. I trusted Mr. Karps sesiblity to please and educate me after graduating with my BFA. There seemed to be nowhere else to go to find where the art is. I hope that somehow his spirit and idea of Art is followed through and we continue to have a place that shows it to us so well. Rest in peace dear sir.

I too walked into OK Harris in 1969 while still at Yale to show Mr. Karp my paintings. He was gracious and told me they weren't for him but picked up the phone and called David Herbert at the Graham Gallery and told him that he had his next show setting with him. I took my work uptown and was in a group show that summer, my first New York show. It's something I'll always remember.
9 Jul 12 5:0 CET
I also walked into the OK Harris with a few of my paintings and just as I passed by Ivan's office he says to me "You got something to show me kid ?" and invited me into the office where he spent a great deal of time talking to me. He said my work wasn't for him but there were 1000 galleries out there "keep going kid" he encouraged me to do.RIP Mr.Karp!

I am so pleased to see that my photograph of Ivan Karp, stood the test of time and became an unofficial Portrait of the Great One!
2 Jul 12 15:46 CET
Ivan Karp was of the most generous person that I've met in the New York art world. I walked into his gallery with a roll of canvases tucked under my arms. He actually spent a half hour giving me the best advice on the being an artist in New York. Move to New York, get a loft so he can see my work develop. I went back to Hawaii. I wish I took his advice. The year was 1979.

After shadowing Marino for weeks, GQ correspondent Peter Richmond found a Zen-like emptiness at the end of the road. "The key to his brilliance as a quarterback has always been the absence of reflection," Richmond writes. "And this is probably also as good a way of describing him off the field as any."
I didn't believe it. I was sure the Marino conundrum would burn away the more passes I made through the locker room. It was about all I could do, since Marino, through a third party, had nixed my requests to interview his famously chatty dad, his gregarious bodyguard, and various other people close to him.
The locker room: A sign above the door reads "Aggressive." Another sign, somewhat unbelievable, announces Friday-night Bible-study meetings. Five days before the Dolphins meet the Rams at home, we are waiting for Marino in front of his locker at the training camp near Nova Southeastern University.
Inside Marino's locker I see containers of Carmex and Mentadent, pictures of his kids, jeans and shower shoes and car keys and golf visors; a crucifix with blue rosary beads, an oversize shot glass, and a gold money clip stuffed with hundreds.
Marino emerges. There's a rush to his locker. My notebook falls on the floor. Marino launches right into a rehash of the Jacksonville game: "... balanced team... I'm very critical of myself, I feel like I should make every play possible... to be efficient doesn't necessarily mean you have to throw a lot...."
"Did you feel like you were in The Zone, Danny, during that game? Or were you just kind of keeping it going?" someone asks. Talking about The Zone has gotten fashionable in recent years, just as talking about "smash-mouth football" has been all the rage the past few seasons.
"I don't know what you mean by 'The Zone,' bro'." Marino says.
Greene pops up in the pack like a jack-in-the-box and says: "Thanks guys! That's all! It's time to bring him inside for the trainer!" Time, too, for the assembled reporters to retire to the press room, where a dozen hot, fresh pizzas are waiting, care of the Dolphins. Let's face it -- which would you rather do, eat pizza or try to interview a grumpy legend? Greene figured this one out years ago.
On the way out, I pass a female sports reporter, still a rare sight. She has flown in from St. Louis and, through sheer bad luck, has just missed her only stab at Marino.
A companion, probably her cameraman, consoles her. Sort of. He says: "Don't feel bad. I got tape. But I guarantee you there's nothing worthwhile on that tape."
The sportswriter sighs. "The guys who have been in it the longest -- I mean Elway's kind of the same way, although I think he's a little more open -- we tried to get him on a conference call last year, and we couldn't get him. It's the guys who've been in it the longest. After a while, they're stars, they get sick of it. You can almost understand it, but, at the same time, it's frustrating."
"Kind of arrogant, isn't it?" I suggest.
"Yeah, well," she says, chewing on the question. "I guess they have a right to be."
Well, maybe.
The Rams-Dolphins game turns out to be a dull, incremental shoving match. The Dolphins win, as they were expected to. The fans start filing out of Pro Player Stadium early in the fourth quarter.
When the game is finally over, I notice that Marino looks just as glum after winning as he does after losing. He's standing in front of his locker in nothing but a white towel, subtly scratching his privates and holding a toothbrush with toothpaste on it.
A member of the media pack is asking: "Is it easier knowing you don't have to be perfect out there, the way the defense is playing, does it help a little bit?"
Marino: "Well, obviously, I'm the type, I try to be perfect all the time, so uh, that's just my attitude."
"A couple of general questions unrelated to the game --" I start to say.
Marino hits me with the blue laser lock and looks exasperated. "Can I talk about the game, though?" he says.
Another reporter jumps in: "Did he have some trouble running routes earlier in the year?"
"Who?" asks Marino.
"I think, ah, for a rookie and a guy who's just starting to get into it, it takes time to understand what you're trying to get out of the offense and what you're trying to get out of the passing game, and he's still working on it. But he has that God-given gift of speed, and that helps."
The pack runs out of questions and Dan heads for the showers, still holding the toothbrush like the fetish of an African chieftain. "One quick question," I say, sidling up.
"Go ahead," says Dan, stopping.
"Kind of a different type of question. It's about celebrity."
"About being a celebrity," I say. "Some people over the years have perceived you as being distant from your fans and irritable with the press. Do you see yourself that way?"

zwyx,I see the concern and I agree that the ecosystem best be left alone, it's too complex to undo any damage. Yet the demand for potable water is quite an important consideration. Reducing wasteful usage is one thing but I think that would be quite enough of a permanent solution.So Beijing either reduces the population (via the one child policy?) or redistributes the population Westwards. I don't see a solution that would be seen as "bad" in the West... do you?
Hi Thos Nord,I don't dispute what you said, but you should have picked the the Great Wall of China, one of the 8 Wonders of the world. Wasn't the Great Wall built the same way? Wasn't it pathetic think about as well, in your small and narrow mind?However, the Wall has become symbol of China and a pride of the Chinese people. I guess this must be too difficult for you to comprehend after all.
@Thos NordThere were (7) seven ancient wonders in the world, nevertheless you picked just only "great wall of China" to vent your anger!Are you just one of of the "biased western critics" who could not stand or bear anything China?Please tell me which other 6 ancient wonders did not compelled their peoples by whipping, tortuous and forceful inhuman ways to complete the socalled gigantic wonders due to shortage of big tools and implements of electric or mechanical power!?Please be reasonable and impartial in your comments about everything China!!!
China has many problems because it is still a poor developing country inspite of glittering cities like Shanghai. that i have seen with my own eyes during the several 2-weeks tour over the past years that i did in the smaller cities and provinces all over China. however, i also observed that the Chinese people and government are animated with purposely energy to bring about prosperity. there is a sense that destiny can be accomplished with shared aspirations and hard work. i wouldn't bet against China.
Americans claim to value open debate yet the only argument they can make is to simply dismiss every chinese person's rebuttal as "rants" and "illogical". You cant have a debate if you expect people to agree with you.
Small Fry,
You said :
"The environmentalists in China already voice their worry about such project; With wisdom and mistakes learned from the world over, we should have confidence that the present PRC top men who have peoples' and long term national significant interests at hearts would be able to chart out a viable master plan for China and in turn beneficial to the world."
Unfortunately, it seems that the PRC top men are not keen to listen to the environmentalists in China (for that, you should read http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10566907)).
Reforestation is a key issue. I already visited a small village about one hour drive north of Beijing. There, I spoke with a villager who told me that during his youth, there used to be forests in the now barren hills surrounding the area. At that time, there was plenty of water flowing in small streams and a lot of animals. Later, most of the trees were cutted (especially in the late 50s). Because of erosion, the soil was removed from the hills and the streams and animals disappeared.
I saw that the government in China is doing a lot of efforts to replant trees. However, I doubt that their approach (i.e planting rows after rows of the same type of tree) will yield good results. There are many species of plants/trees in a forest and each of them serve a special purpose in the ecosystem. Reconstituting a forest takes a lot time and patience.
To answer your question, at the moment, the water flowing out of Tibet passes through many regions in western China and it supplies with water and nutrients the ecosystem all along the way. If the water is directly channeled to eastern China (bypassing those regions in western china where it used to flow), I guess that the ecosystem will be deeply perturbated and there will be many adverse consequences for the plants and animals. Well, at least this how I see things.
Sorry, but the celebrated Red Flag Canal is not 1,500 km long, it is 71 km long--though it does link a previously water-deficient area with a much larger system of waterways and reservoirs. Whether or not it represents some sort of indomitable spirit can be debated, though hardly in China. Thousands, probably tens of thousands, of rural Chinese (I'm allergic to the term peasants) were pressured into contributing years of dangerous and back-breaking labour under harsh conditions, tunneling first through a mountain, and then constructing, by hand and without the help of experienced engineers, an intendedly spectacular waterway, much of it picked and blasted into into the sides of sheer cliffs, in order to redirect a river. Many, many died, but among the survivors there are naturally those who are proud at what they achieved. Between these two extremes are certainly a vast, silent majority who simply accept that they were forced to spend an appreciable portion of their lives toiling on dubious, politically dictated projects. This sort of thing is/was all to common under communist regimes. To my mind, it's pathetic naive to be caught up in admiration about it.Thos Nord
You write about nuclear power being the answer to reducing carbon pollution (I believe you are absolutely right). Then you mention China's current plan "...they aim to have a nuclear fleet larger than the US and France put together." Are you talking about electric power generation or warships?
I'm confused.
In terms of climate change I think China's embrace of nuclear power shows a level-headed and rational approach that will also go a long way to easing air pollution. In China's current plan they aim to have a nuclear fleet larger than the US and France put together. They also have an active research program. Things can't happen overnight but I think China (and India) will be leading the way in terms of CO2-free, abundant energy.
Crispus AGlad to see your post. Your comments earned my respect as being fair in the substance.The north and north/west regions were China's headache and formed major part of the fall of ancient dynasties.The diversion of water abundant south to the drought north/northwest when completed would transform the two territories into something like oasis for planting of trees, wheat and rice etc; They will also serve to lessen the populated density of the east, south east and north east provinces of PRC; The well being of the north/north west have very much to do with the whole China in the past centuries and so are now for security and economic purposes etc.The water diversion will solve the storm sands havoc devastating the Beijing and other countries as well.The polluted industries phasing out along the lakes and rivers plus planting of trees etc are a must for China to be free of pollution which cannot be compromised.The west's criticisms are like blessing in disguise for China to take it seriously for her benefits for now and the years to come!China cannot live without the world and vice versa in terms of climate changes etc. Whatever comments with sincerity to anyone must be welcome with open arms for mutual benefits of all mankind!China has had been bullied for more a centuries and so the west and Japan owe China a favour of understanding, acceptance and tolerance if Chinese poses a wary eyes on you is very natural.
@small fryI sincerely hope you are right and hope that China is taking action to stem pollution. However, I fear China's pollution effort is largely words and little action. You are partially correct in that some tradeoffs were made but like in the US, some polluters do it from ignorance and most do it to save money. It adds to costs and lowers profits to run a clean, green factory. Once people, usually kids, get sick everyone rushes to fix it and the real cost in money and human terms becomes apparent. Mix in the one kid policy and the sadness multiplies. One of the consequences of the US pollution reduction efforts was the exportation of hazardous and toxic manufacturing to China. As production costs in the US grew, China stepped in offering lower cost product. Dry chlorine to purify US swimming pools is no longer made in the US. It is imported from China. China has the jobs, profits, all the downside and China's GDP increases.
@ Crispus A
point taken
all the scientists of the world should work together to resolve the crisis of the environmental damages/abuses
save planet Earth
@smiley tigerTwist and spin as you will kitty but improve your English comprehension please. I did not presume anything. I was being critical of the American racists that cloak their garbage by calling themselves "conservative." I also did not accuse you of saying anything "pro-China." If you want to be defensive that is ok, but you seem to be unable to detect when someone agrees with you. I strongly object to you characterizing my words as the "wishing death for other peoples children." That is a complete fabrication on your part. Google "Love Canal" to get my point. Pollution is a time bomb and the effects are cumulative, long term and the young are the so very sad victims. It is exactly my concern for the children of China that prompted my words. Polluters save money and increase profits today then children, and their parents, pay with suffering. Next, society must pay to clean up the pollution.Before China can "solve" the pollution problem, she first has to recognize it exists. It is guys like you that love and care for China make the difference. I hope it is not too late.
Crispus ASorry, the last posting's last sentence should read:The oasis of the north and north west of China would not be far away, my friend!
Crispus AI cannot agree to your posting's last paragraph.The west's concern about PRC is receiving by the Chinese with mixed feeling of love/hate.Since inception in 1949, the west especially US' embargo till now the high tech products and arsenal still seeing PRC with suspicious eyes and unnecessary hostilities.No country on earth would like her peoples dying of pollution;PRC accepted the polluted industries at the outset of her opening up was an inevitable devil; Can you tell me which nation's industrialization did not go through such miserable stage? Japanese paid her price of nervous sickness in l950s was a concrete proof.PRC is now gradually phasing out the polluted industries or placed them under proper strict environmental control; Lands along the polluted lakes and river were stopped planting of foods etc and the peoples residing there were evacuated to higher ground. Completing the returning of lands to their original position for proper utilization and reforestation etc. to make them environmentally friendly. Initial ignorance of the PRC peoples were a past story, everyone knows what the environmental effects to the children and grand children; With ample monies put in and trained hands to manage the policies of abundance water from south to drought north and north west; The oasis of the north and north west of China would be far away, my friend!
@ crispus A
How do you know what I said on the freerepublic forum?
You are being presumptous, as usual
I never said any things pro-China there
As usual, your wishing for death for other peoples children only shows your evil, wicked mind---"Evil to him that thinks evil"
If here is any country that can solve the pollution problem, it will be China
China will put a 100,000 scientists/engineers all into a single city with one purpose, ie to solve the pollution crisis---and it shall be done (as China had done with the space program, putting 30,000 scientists into one special city to work only on the space program)
I dont now where you are from but you are only good at looking down on other people--typical
zwyxThanks for your briefing.To tap water from the Tibet plateau is not only a matter of concern to peoples of China, it could also have very far reaching impact on the world as a whole especially to the areas surrounding it.The environmentalists in China already voice their worry about such project; With wisdom and mistakes learned from the world over, we should have confidence that the present PRC top men who have peoples' and long term national significant interests at hearts would be able to chart out a viable master plan for China and in turn beneficial to the world.The three gorges dam, besides of inland river transportation now ranking number one in the world, also serve to generate electricity supplying almost 1/3 of the PRC's requirement is a living proof.I think you would disagree with me very much that I predict with the pace of the PRC reforestation now implementing, the world may need to rely on China for the timber in the future. I do hope my prediction is just a guess and if not, what a deplorable world it is!
Small Fry,
I think that the water shortage problems existing in China have a lot to do with mismanagement from the government. Of course, these problems have also been exarcebated by a very high population density.
I am not a water management specialist but I think that it is not sensible to try to patch things up with more pharaonic projects like the "Big Western Line". If you read carefully the article that I have cited, you will understand that this line is supposed to bring water from Tibet to eastern China. Then, because of the huge volume of water implicated, the environment and ecology in Tibet (and western China) will surely be deeply pertubated by that project. In other words, by trying to fix a problem in eastern China you will create a new one in the western part of the country.
Probably that the best solution is to maximize the efficiency of water usage and let nature heal itself with time.
small fry & zwyx,The reasoning behind it escapes me too. I would presume that that water flows out of Tibet anyway. Assuming that Tibet has first dibs on that water, which means they are not limiting Tibetan consumption what matter does it make if the remainder of the water flows to the eastern part of china which has more than it needs anyway than if it flowed to the more arid parts of the west?I don't see much, if any environmental impact on Tibet itself... am I missing something?

Active Duty: Kaden and Sebastian
Today, for Sebsatian's introduction to guy-on-guy action, Dink is pairing him up with Kaden, who knows how to show the new guys the ropes. Dink jokes around with the guys -- who are splayed out on the bed -- saying how Kaden prefers uncut dicks. Kaden cracks up, gesturing to Dink behind the camera, "I think *he* likes uncut dicks" and they both laugh. "Shh! No more from you!" Dink says and he leaves the guys alone to see what comes up."
