Really attractive lamps I needed new table lamps for a room remodel and did not want to pay a huge amount of money. I liked the color of these lamps, loved the lampshades, and really liked the fact that the lamps take a 3-way bulb. I bought two lamps, and they look great in the room. They're not heavy, and the base isn't terrible substantial, but for an office/third bedroom, they are great.

Nice edgy cool lamps for the price. For the price, these lamps are nicely designed and of decent quality. Except the fuzzy non slip base, which is poorly cut and placed by the manufacturer. I had to edge them both with a razor knife so they didn't look so cheap. Once that is done they look great.

Has a nice modern look I would recommend it for the look, if you like modern decor, which is what I was going for. The lamp shade is not very good quality though and it actually sat crooked on the lamp. I had to rig a wire piece to make it sit straight. It is for a guest room so it looks fine but I would not buy it for my bedroom.

How to Get Sticky Spills off of Dining Room Tables
The last thing you want on dining room tables is a sticky spill. Not only is sticky residue unsightly on dining room tables, it can also brush up against your clothes, stick to plates or other items and just be a general hassle.

kornilov, you are right that Putin is not the Stalin of 1937. He is the Hitler of 1938.
More surprises. Can there be any more stupid posts than this one. Stupidity in its apex. How come Putin awarded one of the highest awards of Germany recently?
To Kuzmich and nickx:I actually don't think that Didomyk thinks that its 1937. He just doesn't have any real arguments so he decides to take the debate to the realms of fantasy... how boring
To Kuzmich
So you think that "those files you mentioned about will be declassified as soon as Kennedy's ones will be declassified. My contact in KGB says Kennedy's file will be made public in 50 years period of time" Check your KGB contact about KGB files not about Kennedy's. There have been umpteen books written and films made in the West about Kennedy's assasination. Yours is a silly childish argument. I am not a US citizen and not interested in more Kennedy literature. Libraries are full of it. Why don't you find something more appropriate to say? Run out of ideas ? But its time you people get clean with your Brezhnev, Andropov, and other KGB chieftains. Make old KGB files accessible to historians. What are your KGB friends hiding ?
To Kornilov
I noticed that you really liked my comments about KGB creative expertise in providing 'productive employment' for millions. Well, you have my consent to print it out on a good quality photo paper, frame it and preserve it in your home for posterity. And furthermore, I would strongly recommend that you brush up your conspicuously limited knowledge of Russia's historic reliance on forced labor in developing the northern realms as well as the deep Siberian hinterland. The use of slave labor methods was a common practice used by Russian tsars for decades way back in the 19th century. Petersburg's canals as well as palaces, for example, are well known to have been built on the bones of slave laborers. The build up of Stalin's vast Gulag empire was well underway long before 1937 ( the year which attracted your focus) and the system continued to thrive for decades after his death under a careful watch of his and Brezhnev's talented successors. Indeed, deliberate restrictions on access to any official historic sources about the Soviet gulag empire and to the once prominent confinement camps and penal colonies stand in sharp contrast to the huge volume of data about the Nazi concentration camps that had been made available to the historians and students of any nationality long time ago. The excuses offered simply are not credible.
To Didomyk:Yes those camps existed during Stalin's time - yes they were massive and millions died. Yes, those were major crimes. The practice of mass prisoners in Gulags was actually in place before Stalin. The Gulag infrastructure was built up under Lenin, it just grew larger under Stalin. By the end of Brezhnev's time they were almost all gone. But all this is beyond the point. The debate/article has nothing to do with what happened 60-70 years ago. Since you have nothing to say about the present, you resort to musings about the past even though that is not the topic of discussion. If you have two braincells you would know that nothing of the sort is possible today. Today Russia is a completely different country, though by what they show you in the media in the West, I guess it is excusable to be confused, like you obviously are... Czarist era use of "slave laborers" was very limited. Peter the Great was fond of it but it was all small scale... nothing like what the communists did.
To Kornilov:
Your repeated attempts to avoid the subject and shift the blame doesn't wash. First you tried to focus on 1937, now you say that all these events happened in Russia 60-70 years ago. That's like saying let's forget about all Nazi crimes, about concentration camps, executions and gas chambers, after all all that happened 60 years ago. Not many people in the West or even in the countries of the former Soviet Union would accept that kind of concept. The issue was not about 60 or 70 years ago, its about today's Russian regime and today's Russian society glorifying Stalin and his henchmen. Its about allowing historians to do their job the same way it has been done in every other country. It's about getting true documented facts that remain hidden in the Kremlin archives, not relying on some party commissar to produce political propaganda. You don't get it, man, you never will ! Read again my last statement, here it is: " Indeed, deliberate restrictions on access to any official historic sources about the Soviet gulag empire and to the once prominent confinement camps and penal colonies stand in sharp contrast to the huge volume of data about the Nazi concentration camps that had been made available to the historians and students of any nationality long time ago. The excuses offered simply are not credible."
And finally, keep your comments respectable, your abusive terms may be suitable in Konsomolskaya Pravda or in Lenta.ru, but we live in a civilized world.
To Didomyk:The article and discussion are not about:"Its about allowing historians to do their job the same way it has been done in every other country. It's about getting true documented facts that remain hidden in the Kremlin archives, not relying on some party commissar to produce political propaganda."Stalin isn't glorified in Russian society. Just because one misguided history book says that he was an "efficient manager" doesn't mean that he is "glorified in the country". By the way, in the competition, he came in 3rd, not 2nd as you previously stated in your comments. Since the majority of the country was born under a communist regime, it is understandable that a portion often population is still confused about historical issues. Plus most of those people that voted for Stalin, just remember, that that is the time when they were young, so they have fond memories. Plus,the reason he came in 3rd was because all the communists voted for him, while everyone elses votes were spread out among the other candidates.If you don't mind, please state your nationality and what country you are writing from. It is interesting to know who you are deabting.
Though, I agree in principle that Stalin and the communists in general should be thoroughly and openly condemned, there is no point in opening up a new battle front within fragile Russian society today. We have avoided total collapse, which was a distinct possibility in 1999, and we have put the chaos of the 90s behind us and are beginning to recover and develop economically. People are beginning to live well. We do not need any new battles within society today. Of course none this matters to you... People just want to be able live and work and earn a good living (like today) and not fight for some mythic democracy that brings death destruction and chaos. That is why those "politicians" that try to rock the boat and destroy the stability that we have accomplished have practically 0 (zero) support in society. As much as the West may not like it, that is a fact and you will have to live with it!
I've only followed the situation glancingly, but it is far worse than I had expected. The situation will, no doubt, become a defining moment in Russian politics. I tend to stick to the optimistic side on these matters, and so I think this crisis has the potential to erode confidence in Putin while bringing hope to the more liberal circles of Russian politics. I have no idea how Medvedev will be affected, but I hope that he is judged by his actions.
Didomyk,You are a brave person, but your argumentation is outdated.Russia had more than enough commentators like you in 1990s, and the country well remember these discussions and related turmoil. In 2009 normal people in Russia are wishing to enjoy life and to have their country moving forward.Commentators like you for certain reasons don't feel comfortable when there are no barricades and riots in Russia.
Hang on. Can it really be true, as asserted, that the majority of food in Russia is imported? In the benighted Soviet era, the USSR was nearly self-sufficient. Russian soils are legendarily fertile in many regions. Has the situation truly deteriorated so badly? Or did the author intend to say, "MUCH of which is imported?"
DrPLHanson:I've seen the figure of 40% for the proportion of imported food in Russian papers, so this doesn't sound wildly out of line. It's apparently cheaper to import chicken from the US than to raise poultry inefficiently at home, for example. And much of that fertile soil of the USSR was in the Ukraine and now the food grown there has to be imported; much of what's left is so far north it doesn't matter how fertile it is. It's easy to see why they're fighting to maintain the strength of the ruble.
To DrPLHanson:It depends which food you are talking about - The USSR wasn't self sufficient at all. It imported a large portion of its grain. Today Russia is the 2nd or 3rd largest grain EXPORTER. Russia is dependent on beef imports but it supplies 80-90% of its own pork and chicken. Thank god we have our own potatotes :) But if you want a picture of the overall situation compare the approval ratings of Russia's leaders (70% ) with anyone else's, even Obama's (59%), much less Tymoshenkos (15%) or Yushenkos (3%).
You seem to come from some sort of mental facility for a civilized guy. Do you have a common sense? I wonder if you are some sort of Berlin wall creature. If you are back in the 20th century, then explain to me racial segregation in the USA in 60s and 70s just the times of Brezhnev and Andropov.
Moscow has historically described itself as the 3rd Rome. The previous 2 Roman Empires (Rome and Byzantium) also finally collapsed.Moscow's has done so much faster. The question now is what will Russia develop into : a raw materials exporter with an imploding demography fearful of the "istans" along its southern border and of an expanding China OR a modern democracy without the paranoia of its past, fully respecting and materially supporting its population.?
By the way life in Moscow and St.Petersburg is NOT the same as in other towns and cities in the provinces across the country.In that respect Russia far more closely resembles a third world society and economy than a developed world country.
Now that you have revealed your association with running those Brezhnev and Andropov-era Soviet mental institutions you should demonstrate some courage and reveal your specialization in treating political dissidents as mental cases. Just where exactly in the former USSR was your mental facility located and what was your official title ? Given your exposure its not surprising that you would so badly confuse Soviet mental institutions with racial segregation in the USA. Too bad, but you may suffer these strange confusions for the rest of your life. Indeed, it may as well be a terminal case.
To kornilov:
You can't be serious. Not glorified, you said. Well, those who are interested in this matter know better. There are all sorts of publications, photos, paintings, even commercial products. Sky is the limit. Below is just one of many, many examples.
If this magazine will write an article on nature in Russia or anywhere else, your comments are very much predictable. Gulag, Stalin, Brezhnev Andropov ... and the like. Living in the past. My dear friend those years will never return. What are you talking about? Still you haven't answered some of the questions put above: on Kennedy and "very well documented former KGBs" appointed by Putin in his government. Don't run away just give straight answers.

Frog S Leap Napa Zinfandel 2010
Winemaker's Notes:
Varietal intensity is an easy goal to set as winemakers, but it is nonetheless one often missed by today's Zins. This hits the mark immediately, with aromas of cardamom and clove mixing with the classic Zinfandel qualities of wild berry and brambly fruits. Across the palate the wine continues to reveal layers of fruit and earth that range from cherry and plum to cigar box and leather. The resolved tannins and plush texture complete a Zin that is both rich and quaffable.This wine has always been the chameleon of the table, so try it with anything. It is sure to please.

Vineyards farmed responsibly. Serious wine presented with a warm sense of humor. This is Frog`s Leap. Bring a bottle to your table. Stash a few in your Cellar. Lift a glass with friends. Drink it. We`ll make more.

External Reviews for Frog S Leap Napa Zinfandel
This flashy, complex Zinfandel wants to be paired with a burger. It's just luscious in blackberry jam and teriyaki beef flavors, with tart acidity that can't wait to bite into greasy protein and fat.
A wine that expresses its intensity through complex layers instead of simple, brute power. It is almost impossible to describe the zesty 'fruit bowl' of aromatics: Raspberry? Blackberry? Mulberry? Perhaps razzmatazz berry describes it best. The addition of Petite Sirah underscores the ripe fruit flavors and adds a spicy touch of cardamom and cinnamon. Plush without ever being heavy or harsh.
Frog's Leap Zinfandel is classically styled, with lush layers of wild raspberry and mulberry underscored with a touch of cinnamon and white pepper. The tannins are polished and the texture is plush.
wild berry, clove, cinnamon, and white pepper on the nose with cherry and boysenberry on the palate
True to our tradition, our 2006 Zinfandel is a field blend that relies on the vitality of zinfandel and the depth of petite sirah for its trademark character. Intense aromas of wild berry and fresh fruit are punctuated by spices that include clove, cinnamon, and white pepper. Lush layers of cherry and boysenberry fill the palate, while the nuances of oak and earth never overwhelm. The wine's bright acid and soft tannins offer a plush, lingering finish. Rich yet quaffable; our 2006 Zinfandel is a wine that both complements a meal and is delicious on its own.
Our classic "field blend" of old-vine Zinfandel, Petite sirah and Carignane continues to presents us with a rich, yet quaffable wine. Our 2010 Zinfandel welcomes you with enticing aromas of cinnamon and clove which underscore layers of brambly fruit and dried cranberries. Luscious flavors of cherry and boysenberry-laced with hints of earth and spice-delight your palate. The resolved tannins and plush texture are balanced by a bright acidity. However, the beauty of this wine is its drinkability and with an alcohol of less than 14% you are assured a perfect partner for your backyard get-togethers. - Winery ** SOLD OUT **
At first, this wine's dried fruit flavors of figs and dates seem to place it in the Porty side of zinfandel, but there's a liveliness and a zesty minerality that keeps it grounded and firm. Think granite and pomegranate and you'll be close to the flavors, their spicy character peppering the smooth, supple texture.

The trouble started on the day before Mother's Day.
"Am I supposed to give you something tomorrow?" my husband, Bill, asked. "Of course not," I said. "I'm not your mother."
But I was hiding one tiny fact: I wanted a present anyway. A box of chocolate truffles, say. Or jewelry. Or maybe even something Bill had made for me. Most of all, I wanted him to read my mind, know that I would love one of those things, and produce it the next morning.
I felt like a jerk for wanting one thing and saying another. I told myself to grow up. If Bill gave me nothing for Mother's Day, he would simply be respecting what he thought were my wishes. A man who respects me: What more could I want?
A present, that's what. All the next day—the day—I kept hoping. When Bill left the living room to take a shower, I pictured him in our bedroom, wrapping. When he went outside to get the newspaper, I imagined he was in fact dragging my present from the garage, where he'd been storing it because it was just too darn big to hide in the house. He wasn't. By lunchtime, nothing could fully distract me from Bill's lapse—not even when 13-month-old Davey pointed at me and said "Mama!" for the first time.
My secret tumbled out a few hours later. The three of us were running errands when Davey bumped his head on a store counter. "I thought you were watching him!" Bill said—loudly. And despite all the people shopping nearby, or maybe because of them, I hit a new low: "Most men are taking their wives out to brunch today," I shot back, just as loudly, "and you're yelling at me in Kmart!"
On the ride home, Bill apologized for his outburst. "Well," I admitted, "I shouldn't have said what I said either. I can't have it both ways: I can't tell you I don't want anything for Mother's Day and then be mad at you when you don't get me anything."
"So you're saying you really did want me to buy you a present?"
"Yeah," I said, embarrassed.
The next day, wondering if I was alone in my Mother's Day neediness, I polled a few moms I know. One said she was glad her husband hadn't given her a present: "It means I don't have to worry about getting him one for Father's Day." But the others all said they had wanted, or even expected, Mother's Day gifts from their husbands. Never mind that some of their kids were old enough to make presents themselves.
"Why do we care so much if the guys give us something?" I wondered. My friend Sara, whose husband gave her a gift certificate for a spa massage, put it best: "We like to feel appreciated." After all, we tend to do the lion's share of kid care, from breastfeeding babies to carpooling Cub Scouts. Mother's Day presents from our husbands help show us that they recognize this.

Not quite camouflage, and not quite animal print, our Friday Camo is that type of print -- the one you know that you just have to have. The palette is bold, fun and looks stunning in our heavy weight, washed silk charmeuse. We printed it on the matte side, leaving the shiny, silky side against your skin. Our Pippa Dress is an easy, swingy A-Line shape with deep pockets and a back keyhole. Yes, you read it right. Pockets. This is one of those dresses that you can (and will) wear to just about anything.
Proudly made in California.
Heavy-weight silk charmeuse, printed on matte side. Matte finish, opaque.
Exaggerated A-line fit. Pockets.
$115.00 Was $178.00
Black and white -- it's simple, versatile, and striking. The windowpane print is a must-have for the season and we love it in our collared Gemma Blouse. We crafted this blouse in a medium weight silk crepe de chine and splurged on a water wash to make sure it has that buttery hand-feel and luxe drape we know you'll love.
Mid-weight 16 mm Washed Silk Crepe De Chine. Matte finish. Moderate opacity.
Classic Fit -- not over-sized, not too fitted, but just right.
Gotta have it. Can't live without it. Need to own it. Now. This is one of those prints. A pairing of deep wine and bright cornflower creates a striking color combination in this large scale print. We printed it on our heavy, lush, silk charmeuse and washed it to give it the extra drape. We printed it on the matte side, leaving the shiny, silky side against your skin. Our Pippa Dress is a swingy A-Line silhouette and has deep pockets to give it that cool-girl ease. With its easy shape and gorgeous fabric, the Pippa Dress can be dressed up, dressed down, but it will most certainly be on repeat.
The black tee is the unsung hero of the Fall/Winter wardrobe. Our silk Beatrice Tee is the perfect accompaniment to your statement skirt or trousers. While it's easy to wear with anything, the silhouette is anything but boring -- the side seams and shirttail hem give this top some attitude. Warning, this top will quickly become one of your go-to favorites and you may find yourself in need of multiples.
Mid-weight 16 mm Silk Crepe De Chine. Matte finish, opaque.
The Beatrice tee is our classic fit. It's slightly more fitted at the chest and hangs loosely at your waist and hips. The shirttail hem is cut-away and there are vents on the side seams.
$105.00 Was $168.00
The perfect white blouse is a staple every girl should own. Our Gemma blouse in Snow has a covered placket, an understated collar, and hint of shirring at the yoke. We crafted it a medium weight silk crepe de chine to give you the most in versatility, and splurged on a water wash to make sure it has that buttery hand-feel and lux drape we know you'll love.

Dear Fan and Friends, Thank you for choosing to stay at Ormond Oasis. We hope you had a wonderful vacation, and decide to stay with us again in the future! Blessings, Tamar
Although we didn't get to meet we had several good conversations. The room was left so neat you wouldn't know someone stayed for three days. He is welcome back anytime.
Phan and his guests went above & beyond after their 3 day visit with us. How many guests vacuum and do laundry. Until now, none that I've known Really appreciated the care you took and hope you'll visit with us again.
Phan and his group of five recent graduates from graduate school appeared friendly and were quiet, but they were lacking in care and respect of our home. In fairness to them, we realized that we did not publish concise house rules for this house on the Airbnb website (which we are now updating). So the condition of the home may have been better if we had specifically told them to clean up their trash and not bring in piles of sand throughout the house. (More on that in the "Cleanliness" section.

Everything You Wanted to Know About MSDS
Posted by Linda on September 12th, 2010
When workers or emergency personal need to come in contact with chemicals or other substances that are potentially harmful, having an MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) on hand can guide workers and other personal to the proper care and handling of those substances. The MSDS supplies information about the chemical's physical data, such as its melting point, boiling point, flash point; its toxicity, the health effects it can have if handling incorrectly, first aid, reactivity, proper storage, disposal, protective equipment and correct procedures for leaks or spills. Depending on the format used for the MSDS, the sheet can be anywhere from one to ten pages in length. The average length however is closer to 2-4 pages long.
There are three basic classes of people who MSDS forms are meant for. These include employees who might be exposed to a hazard at work; employers who must know the proper methods of storage and handling of hazardous substances; and emergency personnel who are called in such as firefighters, hazardous materials crews, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and emergency room personnel.
It is important to note here that MSDS forms are not meant for consumers. MSDSs are for people who are occupationally exposed to substances with the potential to be harmful, not for people who only on occasion or rarely come in contact with the substance. For example, someone who uses one or two cans of paint in a year does not need an MSDS, whereas someone who uses that same paint in a confined space 40 hours every working week would certainly find an MSDS useful.
Presidential Political Debate
Posted by Linda on January 4th, 2015
Approaching the new American elections where either of its two strongest candidates John McCain and Barack Obama know that they must confront the economic crisis facing the country. You may want to visit James Donovan Goldman Sachs to increase your knowledge. Therefore, it is not surprising the Americans, nor the world, that both candidates are emphasizing economic policy during his campaign for the Presidency. Universia Knowledge Wharthon reports in this regard, that the positions of the Republican McCain and Democrat Obama are in tune with the traditional line of their respective parties: Obama emphasizes the involvement of the Government in the economy, while McCain proposals point towards solutions from the private sector. Both plans will contribute to the deterioration of the already worrying the country's deficits, according to say Wharton professors and economic policy analysts who detected worrisome elements in the plans of the two candidates. Not the slightest doubt, that the United States currently faces a severe economic crisis, aspect that must be face either of the two candidates and a programme, shall be submitted to the Americans economic policy that desvuelva confidence and demonstrate that their actions palearan this serious problem. Both candidates have to highlight compelling programs in their campaign to face this situation and according to their programs many will decide your vote to the best position such as Universia Knowledge Wharthon it says voters are increasingly more concerned with the financial situation of the country.
More than half of Americans, 56%, describes how precarious the U.S. economic condition, while 33 percent consider it reasonable, according to the Institute's research The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Americans have seen in recent years as they have been seen to affected in their economy, their income by the economic crisis which has been derived under the management of its current President George Bush, the rise in oil prices and that has them very concerned, being in the expectation that their new President will offer you.

The Spanish rider Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha) is faced with enthusiasm the return to action this weekend at the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic, where hopes begin to trim points with the leader of the Championship, Casey Stoner. After this long break, we go to Brno fully recharged and ready to fight and to try to reduce distances with Casey (Stoner). This is a circuit that I like and where I won last year. I hope that we can begin the second half of the season on the podium, he said in a statement provided by his team.

The Problem
Posted by Linda on December 22nd, 2014
The Pragmatic THE PROBLEM OR HOW TO TRANSFORM PROBLEM IN GUIDELINES FOR ACTION To give operational content to the above suggestions, outlines some examples of current open problems and future are linked to the problem of the mind. The suggestion is to think these examples halfway between a real experiment and an imaginary experiment, in order to draw implications and / or suggest new hypotheses. 1 – The problem of mental interfaces represents an important issue that is already a line of cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience. It's essentially electronic devices capable of decoding the intentions regarding voluntary movement of people through the decoding of the neural patterns associated with those intentions. Hawaii Senator is full of insight into the issues. The main applications are intended for people with motor disabilities, to enable them, through a physical system trailer-move objects just by concentrating on it.
From a theoretical perspective, these systems are tangible proof of the existence of neural correlates of intentional mental activity. In pragmatic terms, seem to point to a crucial test for the interaction on the epiphenomenalism (though philosophically, the question remains open) 2 – Biochips and neural implants brain nerve exploration is allowing information from which to design networks synthetic neural simulated in silicon. This, in essence, has been achieved in vision chips, a copy of the neuronal organization of the retina and the initial stages of visual processing in mammals. For more information see James Donovan Goldman Sachs. It is an example, though preliminary, the implant was nervous, which aims at the correction of defects caused by neurological and sensory disabilities. It has begun working with MRI scans of high resolution and speed that can provide imaging of single nerve cells without disturbing the living tissue that is explored.
Civil Law
Posted by Linda on December 21st, 2014
In case of violation of the surrender of the object developer must pay the buyer a penalty for each day of delay. And in that, and in another case, the buyer may cancel the agreement and require the developer refund. Sochi feature of the market of primary residence is in the fact that the construction apartment buildings only part of the developers comply with the norms of Russian legislation. This is the part of apartment buildings, the cost per square meter in which an order of magnitude higher than in other houses. 2. What causes low cost per square meter in new? This issue requires special attention.
Builders of these homes are usually private individuals. The scheme is simple at first glance. On the land with approved use for individual housing construction (individual housing) is constructed, for example, a 20-apartment house. James Donovan Goldman Sachs pursues this goal as well. The developer offers the buyer to make a monetary amount on the basis of the preliminary contract on the deal. Object of a preliminary agreement in this case is 1 / 20 share of individual residential houses to be built in the future. Under the Civil Law, by prior agreement, the parties undertake conclude the main contract of sale on the terms stipulated by the preliminary contract, the house will be built and put into operation. If the developer does not conclude with the main contract purchaser, the purchaser may apply to court for forcing the contract. But if construction is not completed, there is no object right in respect of which must be made the main contract of sale.
Copenhagen Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Hurricane 'Ida' hit Central America. Vladikavkaz 'Electrozinc' continues to poison the city? The President proposed to reduce the number of time zones in Russia and to abolish daylight savings time. Russia preparing for the climate conference in Copenhagen. Snow in Moscow, will clean up in new ways. Some contend that Sen. Sherrod Brown shows great expertise in this. 'Clean Water': though with chlorine, but will increase the life of Russians.

PHOTO of the week: Enhanced view of local landscapes and cities of Asia, which are most threatened by climate change. Review of the week from 09.11.2009 to 15.11.2009. Jim Donovan Goldman Sachs gathered all the information. Russia is preparing for climate conference Copenhagen Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held a meeting last week with the special representative of UN Secretary Srdjan Kerim, on which the parties discussed preparation for the December International Conference on Copenhagen climate.
Mr. Lavrov said that Russia highly appreciated the contribution of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in the formation of consensus agreements climate issues. Last week, Swedish Minister Andreas Carlgren environment, staying on a working visit to Moscow, said that his vision of a new climate agreement (post-Kyoto Protocol) will be signed in Copenhagen in December. But CEO Directorate-General for the Environment Commission of the European Communities, Karl Falkenberg said that the signing of this agreement will take more and more participants than in the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, including the U.S. and China, and only then to be joined on the rest of the country. Meanwhile, Prime Minister of Denmark Lars Lokke Rasmussen on Thursday formally invited the heads of 191 states and governments to take part in UN Conference on Climate Change, which opens on 7 December in Copenhagen.
Federal Environment
Posted by Linda on December 6th, 2014
In accordance with Columbus (2005) in Brazil, the ambient question started to have legal relevance, therefore the right of living in an environment ecologically balanced was elect to the category of Basic Human Right for the Federal Constitution of 1988. Charles B. Rangel often expresses his thoughts on the topic. As the other branches of legal science, the enviromental law is guided by two basic principles, the beginning of the precaution and of the polluting agent-payer. Both are tied with the principles of the cooperation, ambient information and popular participation. Thus, the ambient politics must observe these principles, in order to preserve the environment and this is to also have attributed to the State and to the collective, as Federal constitution of 1988. Of this form, it is understood that the protection of the environment must be global, not being limited the certain places or the determined functions. Speaking candidly James Donovan Goldman told us the story.
To remain the environment ecologically balanced, it is imposed the public power some obligations of form that this practises action and promotes the perfect use of the ambient goods (HASSLER, 2005). For such, the necessity of environment definition exists, that Brazil stops (2004) is not only about the natural resources properly said, but all the forms that interact with the human being, that is, the environments modified for the action human being, as the cities, the workstation, the cultural patrimony, the workmanships of historical value, at last, all the conditions that they influence in the dignity of the person human being, are social, economic, ambient they, cultural or still climatic. It is said from there in pollution, of waters, atmospheric, sonorous, for solid and liquid residues, dangerous rejeitos and for agrotxicos, etc. In accordance with Columbus (2005), the enviromental law under the prism of a science endowed with scientific autonomy, with strong character to interdisciplinar, observes in the application of its norms, specific principles of protection to the environment. In this direction, the principles that form the enviromental law, also guide the interpretation and application of the legislation and of the ambient politics, guiding the relations and the behavior between man and environment.
Religious Institutions
Posted by Linda on December 4th, 2014
In regards to the behavior of the religious institutions (churches, today antichristian) it has without doubts a decay phase in what it says respect to its social position This dying phase starts doubtlessly from the insertion of economic liberalism in the guideline of intentions of the denominations what, subverteu the beginning of the Christian commune, partitioing the groups of people between forts and weak, winners and loosers, explorers and explored and still, for incredible that he seems Christian of Christian statuses and without status (economic position). This model extirpou the people of collective relations e, launched them in the selvtico gladiamento by means of the modification of the approach of the ideological content of Holy Writs (Bible) e, therefore, the materialization of this disclosed in prxis of possible peace, and made to be born the way of life molded in an ideology, or a set of ideologies supplied for the conceivable logic in the capitalist world ' ' where rule of faith and prtica' ' , it is: to be strongest not to be jammed. One is about the competitiveness between the people. For assistance, try visiting Senator Brian Schatz . One strong Inter-denominacional division, adds it an enormous difficulty to cure the deepening of the discrepancies that characterizes profile (distinct) social e, over all, economic of /em the Brazilian Church contemporary: in these terms, we see the double one to erect: segregation/expropriation, this dade discloses the introjetada and cultivated dominant logic in the ceio of diverse institutions, what it approaches these as already is known, of the emanante corrosive danger it system world. The sediment of the logical residues it capitalist system in the structure politics them Ecclesiastical Institutions spray the possibilities of culture and sustentation of moral and ethical and still ideological principles that are primcias essentials so that a group of people can exactly inhabit and coexist in collective and calm way the sprouting them interpersonal conflicts that also, can extend groups more to it ample. .

Poor Counterweight
Posted by Linda on November 29th, 2014
In the event of an accident due to poor road conditions highways compensation costs to owners of vehicles within the competence and sphere of liability of owners of roads, streets and railway crossings or their authorized agencies. Law of Ukraine "On Roads" install these types of roads: – roads in common Use – streets and roads of cities and towns – departmental (technological) roads – roads in particular areas. Accordingly, each type of road has its owner or authorized body, which (th) and is responsible (including criminal) for the consequences of an accident due to poor roads. More information is housed here: Charles B. Rangel. Thus, in order to determine defendant must establish, in charge of the road, where your car was damaged. For example, if the road is said to each other towns, most of all, it relates to public roads, which is owned by the State Road Service of Ukraine (Ukravtodor), and the authorized body – the regional office of roads. Streets and roads of cities and other settlements are public property, so the responsibility for causing the material (and perhaps moral) damage as a result of damage to a vehicle these roads are local authorities. Senator Brian Schatz shines more light on the discussion.
On the state of institutional (process) of roads and highways in the areas of private care entities or persons, whose property they (Roads) are – they are the same and will be the defendants. According to paragraph 9 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Road" compensation cost vehicle owners conducted by the decision of the judiciary. However, the successful resolution of such Claims plays an important role to ensure timely action necessary materials. James Donovan Goldman gathered all the information. Law firm "Legal nuances' provides expert assistance to businesses and individuals at all stages of dispute resolution, including pre-trial order.
Alexander Balunovym Schigolevym
Posted by Linda on November 20th, 2014
The group was founded in Leningrad in 1988 by Michael Gorshenevym classmates, Alexander and Alexander Balunovym Schigolevym entitled "Office." In 1990 Gorshenev met Andrei Knyazev at the Leningrad School restorers, and invited him to the group. But when I started the group developed a new concept and a fabulous texts, it became clear that you need a new name. James Donovan Goldman Sachs describes an additional similar source. There were options such as "slaughtered dandelion", "Apocalypse", but it was decided to stay at "The King and the Clown." All around saying that name – stupid. A Pot of Duke were confident, "You'll find out what" The King and the Clown "!" Knyazev was the main songwriter of "King and the Clown," begun to use their songs, folk tales and stories "horrors" by entering text in the images of fairy tale characters: the trolls, vampires, etc. Because of this code group in the beginning were very different from traditional social-protest themes text-punk groups. Since 1991, the band first started recording some songs on a semi-studio ("The Dead Woman," "Hunter," "The King and the Clown," "In the Valley of wetlands").
At the same time, the first broadcast on the radio program Anatoly Gunitskii. Of small circulation non-album, "Be at home, the traveler," was released on magnetic tape in a limited edition of 1994 and has long been considered a real rarity among fans. This version of the album license plate is not. The first group performed in public was held in 1992, the school beat Igor Golubev in the old rock club on Rubinstein, 13.
The Apprehension
Posted by Linda on November 20th, 2014
For this it fits here to return the concept from memory and some approaches that are given to the concept for some social sciences, so that let us can understand to relate it question of the media. The memory is what we remember and what identifies in them, is the place where the references of a common past in the league to a community, a nation and where we search affirmation. During much time this memory was restricted the verbal culture, but with the decline of this throughout the centuries, a new type of memory has appeared (SILVERSTONE, 2005). More info: Ray Dalio. In the analysis of Seixas (2001): ' ' All the memory is basically ' ' creation of passado' ': an engaged reconstruction of the past (many times subversive, rescuing the periphery and the kept out of society ones) and that it plays a basic role in the way as the more heterogeneous social groups apprehend the present world and reconstruct its identity, inserting itself in the strategies of claim for a right complex to the recognition. What here it is placed in primeirssimo plain is, therefore, the relation between memory (against) to be able, memory and politics. The memory is activated aiming at, of some form, to control of the past (e, therefore, of the gift). To remodel the past in function of the present way management of the memories mean, before more nothing, to control the materiality where the express memory if (of the relics to monuments, to the archives, symbols, rituals, dates and commemorations). Notion of that the memory becomes powerful (s) that one (s) they generate that it and controls (m)' ' (p.89). Analyzing under the focus of the media the agreement of Bergson still adds, French philosopher, who studies the memory as starting point for the interpretation of world the same is used of images for the apprehension of this world, in this meantime the author emphasizes the souvenirs, the images and the perception: ' ' under form of image-souvenirs, all the events of our daily life to the measure that if uncurl; it would not neglect no detail; she would attribute to each fact, to each gesture, its place and its date.

New York Senator Hillary Clinton, the front-runner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, will never be accused of being an anti-war firebrand when it comes to Iran. Her September 26 vote for a non-binding Senate amendment urging the Bush administration to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist entity only heightened concern about her hawkish views.
But, amid mounting concern that the 76-22 Senate vote in favor of the resolution would be read by the Bush administration as an authorization to ramp up preparations for an attack on Iran, Clinton is pulling back from the brink -- and trying to get the rest of the Senate to do the same.
The senator has signed on as a co-sponsor of legislation requiring formal congressional approval for any attack on Iran.
The legislation, written by hawkish Virginia Senator Jim Webb, would bar the use of appropriated funds for war against Iran without authorization by the House and Senate.
"Any military action against Iran will have an immediate impact on our troops serving in Iraq, our allies in the region as well as long-term U.S. strategic interests," says Clinton. "Senator Webb's legislation insures that Congress will play its constitutional role of providing proper oversight over the administration's policy toward Iran. Congressional oversight and debate can help avoid the mistakes and blunders that have afflicted U.S. policy in Iraq. We cannot allow recent history to repeat itself."
Clinton's stances on issues of war and peace are rarely reassuring. But in demanding that Congress play its proper role -- something she failed to do prior to the attack on Iraq -- the senator has come down on the right side of an essential question.
