Since 1983, nonprofit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $5 billion for local children's hospitals, most of it $1 at a time. These donations are used by 170 hospitals throughout the United States and Canada wherever they're needed most—typically to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all in support of the mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
Since 2011, our Chico's FAS family of Brands—Chico's, White House Black Market, Soma and Boston Proper—has proudly partnered with CMN Hospitals to support children in our local communities. To date, with the help of our caring customers and associates, Chico's FAS has raised more than $3 million for CMN Hospitals, which treat one in 10 children in North America each year.

I cut the "Ho Ho Ho" from the Cricut Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge at 5" and adhered it to a layered set of patterned papers. Then, again using the Cricut Artiste cartridge and the matching Close to My Heart Merry Christmas stamp set, I cut out the ornament and stamped it. Quick and easy!
Here's a close up of the stamp set below. See the red outlines around the images? That lets you know they coordinate with Cricut cuts on the cartridge. Even better, on the stamp set itself, it will tell you the size to cut the image at and what page it is on.
It is this month's stamp of the month from Close to My Heart and is only available until October 31, end of day.
As always, this stamp set (retail price of $17.95) is only $5 with any order of $50 or more!
Don't forget we are giving away a 9 Months cartridge!
How can you win?
1) Leave a comment below: Are you ready for the holidays? I am on my way - I don't have all the gifts bought but I have gotten some - especially for teachers, etc. They have these great boxes of chocolates at Sam's for $10 that are pre-wrapped in gorgeous paper. Instant gift!

You may recall I did a series over the summer called the 30 Days of Money-Saving Apps. I got such a positive response that I wanted to add one more called CoupSmart (when you "like" CoupSmart on Facebook through 12/12 $1 goes to help fight pediatric cancer for every new fan).
The free CoupSmart iPhone app lets you scan products you buy every week. You're basically letting CoupSmart know what you like to buy, then they send you coupons by mail for products you buy and use. They also mail out trial offers and free samples based on your scans. I just got a coupon by mail last week for a free bottle of Fit Fruit & Vegetable Wash (not free with purchase, but free).
Plus, every week CoupSmart is giving out daily and weekly prizes to top scanners. The app is available for iPhone now, but will soon be available for Android and Blackberry users too. Worried about product recalls? You can even sign up for CoupSmart Defender to get notices by email (no smartphone required).
Even better, CoupSmart is giving back by way of a new program called GiveSmart. Every month, the charity with the most points receives a $1000 donation. Be sure to check out all the posts in my 30 Days of Money-Saving Apps series.

This is my fifth Flor rug, I love them! This rug is an area rug in my living room. I have an open living/dining room kitchen area and the two areas are painted fairly bright colors. Two colors that happen to be in the green colored rug. So this is the perfect transition rug between the two areas! The variegated pile and fun colors are great. I can tell this will be very durable as well, a necessity for me with two young boys and a big dog!

I have just put this into my home office. The varied texture and colour is fun, and went in easily. The carpet is installed over concrete, so feels pretty firm underfoot, as the pile is not overly deep. It looks great and very funky for an office space.

Bio and Links
I'm Becky and I'm a friend to all animals and most people. I'm an American, a Montanan, a 911 Dispatcher, an EMT, a writer, a Republican, an aviation and maritime enthusiast, a firearms enthusiast, genealogist, a pianist, an aspiring violinist, and a frustrated Raiders fan.
I have an affinity for lighthouses, airplanes and most shades of purple. I was born in Utah, reared in Montana, and consider myself a Michigander at heart. My favorite states are Montana, Michigan, and Maryland. But, I haven't been to Hawai'i yet!
I believe in God the Eternal Father and in His son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
I love my country and am PROUD to be an American. I support our military. I thank our veterans and those of our allies. We owe them so much. Thank you seems so small a gesture for those who have given so much so that we could be and stay free.
I am a proud missionary aunt to Anne, who is serving in North Carolina and KayReah, serving in Colorado. I hope to follow their example someday.
There are so many people that I have a deep respect for. My parents, Walter Maurice Warner and Mildred Elnora (Nash) Warner, and my sister, Brenda Lee Warner, are among them. I suppose my favorite person ever would be my Grandma, Mary Etta (Bradley) Nash.
My ancestry includes Mi'kmaq, French, Irish, English, Scottish, French Canadian, Acadian, and others we haven't confirmed yet.
My roots run deep in Michigan, Utah, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Nova Scotia and Quebec.
I have been adding burials from many Southwest Montana cemeteries. I have added burials from the Montana state orphanage at Twin Bridges and the state Children's Home and Hospital in Helena. I have this listed in my virtual cemeteries.
I do this because I believe that every person/being is important and deserves to be remembered. And, if just one person finds a long-lost relative or friend from my efforts, my time has been worth it.
One of my favorite TV shows as a child was The Waltons. In a guest appearance as Martha Corinne Walton, Beulah Bondi said it best, "Neglected graves are a shameful thing." I have seen some very neglected cemeteries. But, neglected veterans' graves upset me the most. I don't believe in "non-perpetual care." I want to make something clear. When I say that neglected graves are shameful, I am talking about physical neglect-- strewn with rubbish, overgrowth, gopher holes, etc. I do not in any way mean that a grave is neglected if loved ones are unable to visit it often. Why anyone would think that is beyond me, but I've gotten enough emails that I felt the need to explain that.
For reasons I don't always understand, some people are offended to find their loved ones listed on a genealogical website. Obviously, they are not genealogists themselves. While I may not always understand their feelings, I do respect them. If a record I've added is of your loved one and you want it removed, let me know POLITELY (unlike one dolt who threatened to kill me and erroneously thought that I didn't have access to enough information about him through a single e-mail to file charges) and I will gladly remove it. I am also happy to transfer ownership to relatives. Also, feel free to use any of the headstone photos I've added for non-commercial genealogical purposes.

MV Agusta's 1000cc 148 kW, 200 mph, F4 RR
Article Summary
MV Agusta has announced a new 148 kw, 1000cc version of its F4 sports bike aimed at homologating a bike with the potential to push Ducati's 1098S, BMW's S1000RR and Kawasaki's ZX10R off the superstock podium. Equipped with a new 13,700 rpm short stroke engine, the original F4 frame updated to enable steering-head angle adjustment via interchangeable inserts and new and better Öhlins suspension units and lightweight wheels, the new MV Agusta F4 RR is more than double the price of any of its aforementioned competitors, so let's hope we see a few on the racetrack that can validate the EUR 22,900 (US$32,500) price tag.

Division of Consumer AffairsPress Release
NEWARK - On Friday, attorneys for the State Division of Consumer Affairs appeared before Judge Catherine M. Langlois to provide her with a status of the state's efforts to secure impounded merchandise and identify affected consumers, to seek court approval for a plan that would provide for the completion of photo albums and to outline a proposed settlement to distribute wedding photographs and videos to former clients of Celebration Studios, Inc..
The state commenced this action on January 18, 2008, following Celebration Studios' abrupt closure and on January 25th, obtained a Court order to impound the wedding photographs, videos and photo albums located in Celebration Studios' Clifton, New Jersey warehouse. Since that time, Consumer Affairs has inventoried and organized the merchandise belonging to approximately 3,640 consumers whose weddings occurred from July 1997 to January 2008. Since the filing, Consumer Affairs has received 1,643 complaints from affected consumers, 1,346 of whom contracted with Celebration Studios for weddings that occurred prior to the closure of the business and 297 of whom entered into contracts for weddings scheduled to occur after the business closed. Consumer Affairs has identified 70 photographers/videographers who performed work for Celebration Studios and 2 album manufacturers, Capri Album Company, Inc. and Albums Unlimited.
On Friday, Judge Langlois approved the state's motion to have Capri turn over the 18 completed albums currently in Capri's possession, and to permit Capri to directly contact approximately 220 consumers to provide them with the option to complete their photo albums at Capri's wholesale price or to have their loose photographs returned to them.
At that time, the state also outlined a proposed global settlement which provides for distribution of merchandise and includes: (1) the Defendants' assignment to the state of their interest (including copyright) in the merchandise; (2) Consumers who received credit card chargebacks or other refunds will be required to pay the following, appropriate, prior to receiving any merchandise - $500.00 first photographer, $250.00 - second photographer, and $450 - videographer; (3) these payments will be placed into an escrow account to be maintained by Consumer Affairs; and (4) any consumer who contracted with Celebration Studios for a wedding post-January 2008 and who did not receive a credit card chargeback or other refund and any photographer/videographer who performed services for which Celebration Studios failed to make payment, will have the option to submit a claim for payment out of the escrow fund.
The state's attorneys and Jeffrey Herrmann, counsel for Defendants, intend to finalize the settlement documents and present them for Court approval at the next hearing, scheduled for September 26, 2008. In the interim, photographers/videographers who are still in possession of merchandise are prevented from contacting consumers, among other things, to seek direct payment for such merchandise.
Consumers and photographers/videographers who have received the questionnaires are urged to complete and return them to Consumer Affairs. Consumer Affairs is in the process of forwarding a questionnaire to consumers who received no services from Celebration Studios. Any consumer who has not submitted a complaint or otherwise been contacted by Consumer Affairs should complete and return a questionnaire, which forms are posted on the Consumer Affairs' web site, http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov
"Once we obtain the materials held by these third parties, our investigators will catalogue items and move as expeditiously as possible to get these photos and videos to their rightful owners," Consumer Affairs Director David Szuchman said.
Photographers/videographers who opt into the settlement will be required to relinquish copyright and any other claimed right in the merchandise. Photographers/videographers have the ability to pursue their own individual legal actions against the Defendants, as do consumers.
Deputy Attorney General Lorraine K. Rak, Chief of the Consumer Fraud Prosecution Section, and Deputy Attorney General Alina Wells are representing the State in this action.

Drake - "Find Your Love" [Music Video]
Latest News
Filed under:15
This is the song!!! I love that Drake is one of the artists like Lupe that is making real music that actully means something. This is the kind of music you can just get lost in. Or think to. I hope that all the rapers out there relize life isnt just about drugs, money, and sex. There is way more real deeper things out there and you can find those stories in these type of songs.
While I am not a critic nor a fan of his, I can appreciate the deeper and metaphorical principal he gave to this song and video. It should be obvious to the listener, that Drake is actually having dialogue within himself. His feminine and masculine selves are at war with one another and the female in this video actually represents anything external..(something Drake feels that he needs but actually does not at all) So he takes a risk and goes after what he thinks he wants and it costs him. Once you unify your own male and female then you will receive everything you desire in life including your TRUE love/mate/partner and not a false love or one that could try to harm you. Find Your Love could also mean..FIND YOUR (OWN) LOVE first.then you will receive your soulmate
i like the song, and the vidoe is very intriguing. but i cant seem to make the relation between the video meaning and the song meaning. the video is about loving a girl who has a crazy boyfriend who wants to kill you, and the song is about taking a chance with your heart and hoping the girl doesnt hurt it.
but either way, drake is dope. cant wait till Thank Me Later drops. that and Recovery will keep me set until Lasers finally comes out.
For now, im bumpin Distant Relatives. before that was Adventures of Bobby Ray.
before that, music was sucking big time.
I like the song, never heard it before. I also never heard Drake singen like that ... the only song I just like is "Best I Ever Had" ... I am not a fan of the Young Money Camp ... but this is ok. The video is pretty mainstream. It shows the typical situation. Guy loves girl, she has a friend, in this case a powerful friend, wrong place and wrong time, he gets the information, BANG BANG. I don't like this Hollywood typical thing ... but still ... it is all about the music

Hi: 14° Lo:5°
DEBENHAMS' arrival in Rugby will provide a huge boost to trade, town leaders have said.
The popular department store will anchor the £18 million revamp of Elliott's Field retail park, north of the town centre.
It comes after the Observer first reported on plans by property company Hammerson to extend the park - creating space for 15 new stores as well as refurbishing existing buildings.
Securing Debenhams marks a major coup for retail in Rugby, with the huge 60,000 sq ft department store to sell cosmetics, womenswear, menswear and homeware, and will also feature a café and restaurant.
Robin Richter, chairman of Rugby First, has long wanted to see department store like Debenhams set up in the town centre.
While not be directly in the town centre, Mr Richter said having it at Elliott's Field was the next best thing.
"It is good news and I have to look at the positive, and that is that I would rather have it in the borough than not at all," he said.
"They looked at the town centre which they have to do but there is simply not the space for the footprint they want so Elliott's Field is the only place it can go."
Rugby Borough Council leader, Craig Humphrey, was equally excited.
He said: "For too long residents of Rugby have had to travel elsewhere to shop in the likes of Debenhams, but now it'll be on their doorsteps.
"Rugby is the fastest growing town in the West Midlands and I'm delighted we'll have the sort of quality retailing the town deserves."
Debenhams is the first new name revealed for the redeveloped Elliott's Field. It is expected to create around 120 full and part-time retail jobs for the area.
Property company Hammerson bought Elliott's Field in March last year and from then began drawing up plans to revamp the site.
Coun Humphrey added: "Elliott's Field is our most established edge of town shopping location and there are no planning restrictions on the types of goods that can be sold there.
"The retail park was in need of investment and it was good news when Hammerson bought the site last year and committed to redeveloping it."
Consultation on the design for the new-look park will take place this winter.
Development manager for Elliott's Field owner Hammerson, Tom Cochrane, said: "Attracting one of the UK's most successful department stores demonstrates confidence in both our vision for retail in the town and the consumer catchment.
"Having a full-line Debenhams in Rugby will retain retail spend within Rugby and reduce the spending leakage to other regional destinations."
Debenhams has been keen on setting up a store in Rugby for a number of years, according to spokesman Gareth Dougherty, who said its location near to major roads will make the store accessible to the wider Warwickshire area.
He added: "We have worked closely with Hammerson to deliver what we both believe will be the evolution of a shopping park into a fully-fledged retail destination."
A planning application for the store will be made next year.

Pumpkin pie variations [71]
Mommy's Pumpkin Pie: "This recipe is adapted from my mother's classic pumpkin pie," says Linda Hundt, owner of Sweetielicious Bakery Cafe in DeWitt, Michigan. "I added cream to make it a bit richer and orange zest for flavor." The result is a dark mahogany pumpkin pie with ginger-cinnamon-clove spiciness (bottom pie in photo).
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie: Cream cheese strudel inspired Peter Sterk, owner of Just Pies in Westerville, Ohio, to build a pumpkin pie with a surprise cream cheese layer (top pie in photo). For the creamiest pumpkin pie, don't overbake.

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Cookies [76]
These cakelike pumpkin drop cookies are delicious by themselves, but even better topped with a simple brown sugar frosting.

This fall dessert comes from Mooselips Java Joint in Seeley, Wisconsin. It's creamy, cool and not overpowered by the pumpkin or the spice.

Sunflower Pumpkin Muffins [92]
Hailing as they do from the Sunflower State, Kansas cooks have a knack for creatively including crunchy sunflower seed kernels in all sorts of treats. These tender pumpkin morsels are from the American Institute of Baking in Manhattan, Kansas. The muffins get a double dose of sunflower from both sunflower oil and the seeds.
Pumpkin-Chocolate Cheesecake Bars [96]
This make-ahead bar cookie offers an irresistible stack of flavors: sweet graham cracker crust, rich chocolaty cheesecake, spicy pumpkin cheesecake and a topping of sour cream.

Pumpkin Chili [113]
Easy Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes [116]
You decide how easy you want these to be! We're partial to our homemade Pumpkin Cupcakes with Sweetened Whipped Cream Frosting, but you can substitute purchased plain cupcakes or purchased whipped white frosting to make this recipe even simpler.

Pumpkin Spice Crème Brûlée [124]
This creamy, rich dessert comes from Courtright's Restaurant in Willow Springs, Illinois. Although the restaurant puts a solid crust of caramelized sugar on its crème brûlée, we made it easier for you and drizzled it on.
Apple Bagel Sandwiches with Pumpkin Cream Cheese [128]
We created this sandwich to celebrate Illinois, which grows 80 percent of the pumpkins processed in the United States. The apple bagel sandwiches are a good option for tailgating events, or try them as a meatless sandwich any time of day. We also like the added crunch of the nuts.
Apple Bagel Sandwiches with Pumpkin Cream Cheese recipe [129]

Pumpkin Corn Chowder [146]
Pumpkin cookies [149]
A hint of pumpkin adds color and flavor to festive Autumn Cutouts (pictured).

Autumn Cutouts [150]
Spicy Pumpkin Cookies [151]
Pumpkin Pie Cake [155]
Sprinkle moist pumpkin filling with a cake mix topping for a quick and easy cake. The recipe is from Farmer's Inn in Havana, North Dakota.
Pumpkin Pie Cake [156]
Pumpkin Chess Pie [159]
The bakers at Wick's Pies in Winchester, Indiana, crossed chess pie with pumpkin pie, adding more eggs, more spices and a little cornmeal to their pumpkin recipe. The result: a pie with a more intense pumpkin and spice flavor, and a slightly thicker filling.
Pumpkin Chess Pie [160]
Gingered Pumpkin Soup [163]
Maple syrup adds sweetness to Gingered Pumpkin Soup, which makes a creamy side dish or appetizer.
Gingered Pumpkin Soup [164]
Pumpkin-Banana Bread [167]
Lisa Johnson of Gardner, Kansas, added banana to pumpkin bread for a new twist on quick bread treats. "This pumpkin bread is a favorite with our family," she says. "It's easy to make, and my two girls enjoy helping me. They especially enjoy it when it's done baking. It makes the house smell wonderful."
Pumpkin-Banana Bread [168]
Pumpkin Scones and Pancakes [171]
Pumpkin blends with spices such as ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in these scones (left) from Cafe Latte at Victoria Crossing in Saint Paul. The moist scone complements a dinnertime feast as well as breakfast.
For a different twist on pumpkin at breakfast, try our Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes. They're good with honey butter and nuts or with traditional maple syrup.

Crushed gingersnap cookies and pumpkin-pie spice add zip to the filling of this creamy pie. It's an Amish recipe served at special occasions.

Grand Piano P 237 Monsoon
with steel frame was built based on the research and development activities of
The PETROF Company
in cooperation with Universities, science institutions and special metal workshop. The core idea was the replacement of the cast iron frame (the plate).
An idea to produce a steel frame from solid steel, cutting, drilling, milling and laser or plasma cutting came about during the discussion of possible solution. This type of production is the
first of its kind in the world
Technical specification
P 237 Monsoon Steel grand piano
The steel frame is heavier than a cast iron frame; however, its design allows for a much larger open area of the soundboard.
The steel frame is far more
than its cast iron predecessor. Frame stability has a great influence on the quality and stability of tuning and regulation of the piano action. This grand piano has a very good sound, and very
high stability in the action and its tuning of stability
Differences from standard model Monsoon P 237:
Key-bed-noise measurement
. Special construction – sandwich with Bitumen parts.
Piano action
) WNG action, produced from high quality composite materials. This way perfect stability in climate changes and a permanent light touch is achieved.
Metal parts
(Front pins, balance key frame guide pins, screws, and capstan adjusting screws) are made from aircraft aluminum with special hardened surface (anodized aluminum). These complex but better metal parts ensure a better feeling while playing.
Bridge pins are replaced with small
stainless steel screws
(imbus). The screws are lighter than the pins used before making the bridge more efficient in frequency transmission to the sound board.

Actually I doubt about the actual function of abuuction information released on the weibo.I mean it's true that many of netizen,incluidng me,will repost such these information out of sympathy,but in what degree that would help to find the kids?Endless reposting must be concluded in someone's practial action to rescue those poor kids,maybe by specific authority.
Yes, and it's true that child-trade is happening everyday, especially in the poverty stricken areas. Baby boys are in favor because they serve as first of all labor force where there is lack of farming machinery to make farming less stressed; secondly, baby boys are regarded as the one that carries the family line forwards, which is the core value of a male-dominant society with the male heir being entitled to property and land; thirdly, baby boys are safety guards of a big family with more than two generations under the same roof; and in a finally analysis, bearing baby boys is a symbol of piety to ancestors in traditional Asian countries.
Compared to what has been achieved in the last few decades of reform in China, effects of feudalism that focuses and is based on patriarchal clan system under blood relationships for thousands of years on people's values and morality are hard to be over exaggerated. Simply put, few would be willing to leave his inheritance in the charge of someone else's who has no blood links with him after life's hard working in feudalist society. That said, families that are in want a baby boy are numerous, which is proof that the evil trade is driven by demand rather than supply. Tragedies occur no matter how many and to what extent government crackdown campaigns are launched.
On the other hand, those parents whose children have been trafficked are in part responsible for the capture. According to statistics released by public security department, children of migrant workers are most likely the prey as the cases take place more often in the rural-urban continuum where children are left alone around the rental house without supervision from parents and are away from police patrols.
As the Chinese New Year is around the corner, I sincerely hope that all those 'kidnapped children' will be rescued and reunited with their biological parents, albeit it's impossible to see the end of such an evil deal in China nowadays. .
I've heard rumours of this problem. But it hadn't been officially recognised as (a bad enough) problem so I couldn't tell if this was true.
If this is happening, something is very wrong. What has happened to these people who trade in other people? Why has it become so zero-sum? If the CCP is good at anything, it's very good at changing social/cultural habits. Mao himself said that women hold up half of the sky. Why isn't it just as good to have girls as boys? Why is it so important to have boys that one can trade in the misery of others?
People need to know that making money, while a good thing, has limits. Murder for profits is wrong. This is on the same level of wrongness.
the child trafficking problem is real, not a rumor, and it was reported on CCTV before as I recall watching CCTV newscast last year or the year before when police broke a ring of culprits and rescued a dozen or more of childern aged from infants to young kids. cases of trafficking of rural young women for prostitution to overseas (by falsely promising them overseas jobs) were also reported when such cases were broken by police.
but I think it's been blown in foreign media way out of proportion for the population size of china. still, it's government's job and responsibility to see to it that no such case would occur.
an equally criminal and more sinister 'crime' is the deliberate abortion based on pre-natal determination of sex (such determination is illegal in china, as is in india also) and some infancides and desertions in rural areas. but such crimes have been curtailed greatly and the sex ratio inbalance has been reduced according to the last national census (conducted every 10 years).
one child policy must be painful, but it is almost a necessary measure to get out of poverty in developing economies.
from here to eternity ?
it's not that these pro-chinese guys cannot take some criticism or bashing, heck, they have been taking it for 200 years.
but TE's gang raping, oops strike that, gang firing in tandem of articles and articles on negative-ing china in rapid sequence in the past couple of weeks like brisk bazooka hurtlings by jihadists is daunting.
since them chinese are still cheap and dirty everything as many bashers here say, claim or imply, they ain't going to matter all that much anyway, surely TE or the interest it repreents needs not be so desperate to to come to this. right?
don't give them any break but do give thouself a break before being worn out by the fatigue syndrome of reading the stuff written, or being scared pant wet by your own imagination, or hallucination.
So there is a governance vacuum and the Chinese social media is pitching in, offering a civic solution to the problem. I think they are on the right track.
that certainly helped. you are right about the social media there.
I'm a chinese girl.When I was young I think all the things our goverment did was right.They told me "one child" policy is for us to have better education and give less pressure to our environment.But when I was 20,my mum told me I once have a little brother.and the local goverment force my mum to have an abortion .My mum had the abortion but she still miss her baby today.
I feel sorry for my mum,and begun to think was it right to force every family have one child.
Besides,Child trafficking is really rampant.i'm in city,so all I see is people buying children.Some people around me have bought a child and they somehow use unlegal way give the child a legal adopt certification.They treat the child like their own.I think taking their child away is not"no punishment
And there's other reason besides one child policy which made kidnapking so popular.Our environment and food are badly polluted in China.More and more young couples couldn't bearing.And if there's no child there's no family.They have to buy a child no matter how expensive
nice try. if you are chinese, I am brian pitt.
What you said ,"Child trafficking is really rampant.i'm in city,so all I see is people buying children." ,is very exaggerated.
I am chinese,23,senior student in a university.Born and grow up in China,never been abroad.
I came here because our Graduate Candidate Test use a aticle of the econimist this year.And I find here some people know more about China than ourselves,it's amasing
well,thank you for point it out.Actually ,I'm not english majored.And I'm not sure the exact meaning of my commend.
I use a Chinese-English dictionary to help me write.You know for the same Chinese word there is several English word to choose.I choose them randomly .
But it's true several people around me bought a baby.I think it's not a serious problem.Because most of the buyers are richer than their nature parent.And they regards baby as their own.Most of the baby didn't remember their real parents,and some of them may never know they are bought all his life.
Hi, Brian.
but you are no chinese.
you twist and turn your english writing to make it looks like chineseeeee, but it won't wash the way you wrote. I have seen your type, plenty.
you may bash china or others, just don't hide behind others doing it, you hear?
basher with a sense of humor here! hear all about it!
now I have your attention: bashing is a funny business. have fun with them, but have fun only.
Really is my English that bad?twist and turn?I think my English is exellent.(^ ^)
But really,I am Chinese,and why should I bash China??I just told you something I konw.But for I see trade child is not a big deal.My mother's co-worker have bought one girl,My BF's neighbour has bought one boy too.Did you hear that there's many organization sending woman to USA to give birth?Did you know most of rich and powerful people sent their children abroad like US CA Australia and Britain?If you leave there you may find more and more chinese youngth.So it's nature to send child away for better life.My father is a adopt child,and he said in his time it's quite commom to give the child to a richer one when you can't offord to raise them.
And one child policy?Most of my friends don't have sisters and brothers.For nearly 20 years I think I'm lucky to be the only child,my mum and dad love me fully.But getting into a university,I found many student from rural area has sisters and brothers.And thier sister and brother also love them,which made me feel lonely.
There'a many problem in the China,I'm appreciate that you concern,also I find it's funny for you to worry about things which have no relevant to your life.Because these things seems not bother me.
It isn't very important whether fayren77 is a Chinese.Most of her comment are the facts in China now.
Bashing? "China bashing" is just a made up concept designed to put people on the defensive. It's a psychological tactic to force commenters to atone for their own supposed faults when they have said or done nothing wrong. I'm going to criticise China as much as I want, and I'm going to praise it as much as I think it needs praising. Don't like it? Write a note to the UN.
I don't think she might be wrong saying she would like sisters and richer people are now using places like Britain to have a kid or just pay the tax.
But I believe One Birth (Why do people call it one child? I had childhood friends who had twin sister or brothers, government did not demand the families "select one") per family policy saved China. China's 1950s was not China of today, it was economically industrially backward and isolated from every country across the world.
Even today, a huge % of the population are still in poverty.
If the One Birth policy was not selected, China today might have ceased to exist.
Draconian? Perhaps. But the alternative of social panic due to lack of access to food and shelter would have been far worse. For all the west's bluster (especially from Christians) about how evil this policy is, no one offered any solutions on how would China (and indeed, the world) handle an additional 200 million people in the same period.
Then again, most people who bust China's chop are often the same people who believe an carpenter was able to feed thousands of people with a love of bread and two fish..
@ silent night,
the guy was obviously lying and contradicting himself. first he calimed 'one-child' is so bad all over china then he went on to say 'many students from rural area have sisters and brothers'. what gives?
@ fayren77:
I did not say your english is 'that bad', granted that it's not that good either, but that has no bearing to your right to post here.
what I raiesd there was that your 'twist and turn' to deliberately make your writing appear to be more awkward than you are otherwise, to show that you are chinese student---trying to gain some currency of your story.
next time you may bash all you like without identifying yourself being chinese trying to gain more sympathy. you ended up getting a lot more despises instead.
anyone can bash all s/he likes. but it's my right to rebute if it came to my attention and I happened to dislike it.
you think you can handle that regardless the size of brain?
UN he says, what an Xdiot.

Human trafficking should be punishable by death. That would make sure that the guilty can never commit the same crime again. Meanwhile, China should encourage more legal adoptions so as to diminish the market for child-trafficking.
Actually, social media, especially Sina weibo played an important role in anti-abduction. There are a lot of kind people in Weibo help the policy to spread the missing children information as far as they can. The kind of social power provide the positive engergy for China Internet environment.
I basically agree with the the author's opinions in the article except one-child-policy.
In fact,in rural areas of China,half of population (7.5 billion, equivalent to 2.5 times of U.S.'s population) it is two-children-policy.Many families have more than two children in rural areas.
If " Mr Xiao estimates that the price of abducted boys has risen in recent years from around 40,000 yuan to about 90,000," is ture,that means it is meaningless to buy a child from child traffickers.In many rural areas of China,RMB 90,000 is enough to pay the penalty of policy violations(one-child-policy or two-children-policy with a few strings attached) .After you pay the penaltys,you can have more than two children.More penaltys,more Children.Actually one-child-policy or two-children-policy mean that rich families can have more children, poor will have less children.But now rich families often have less children than poor families in China.
In my opinion,the main reason of child trafficking is that infertile couples in China have an explosive increase because of the change of life-style and natural environment in last 20 years.The other is that the poor families which can not afford the penaltys want to get one more child by cheaper ways(buying or stealing).Certainly most children can get good care,even better than their parents,by buyers or recipients,but it still should be looked on as a serious crime.No buy,no trafficking.China also neen improve its adoption system,orphans will have better lifes in foster homes than do in orphanages.
Do you have any data to the "infertile couple" theory? From a statistical point of view, doesn't matter how many "infertile couples" you can dig up, birth rates will not be affected by infertility so easily when you factor in a population of 1.3B. Simple maths, no magic.
there isn't a special accurate survey data nationwide about infertile couple.Some surveies in some areas,city-wide or part of province-wide,show the proportion of infertile couple among all the couple is about 8%(lower) or 15%(higher).It is estimated by ACWF(All China Women's Federation)that more than 50 million population in China belong to infertile population, due to all kinds of reasons.
By the way,I correct a data above,"half of population,7.5 billion" should be "half of population,0.75 billion" in China.
I am not quite agreed with you. The problem, I guess, lies on the Chinese tradition. You know what, Chinese people still want to have a boy. By having a boy, they believe the family will pass to next generation (in Chinese we may say yangxu xianghuo). Girls, however, cannot. Thus, even though some couple have two children, if this two are girls, they might still want another one, of cause a boy. This mainly happens in rural areas according to most Chinese media. I, myself, have never heard any of these cases in my community.
Another reason, from my prospective, is that these people they may not have many education so they may not know it is a wrong thing to do. What in their mind is that they pay for it.
Mine has no confliction with yours. Maybe,my comment above shuld be in more detail.I have said in my comment above:"The other is that the poor families which can not afford the penaltys want to get one more child by cheaper ways(buying or stealing)."----- "one more child" often means a boy in less developed rural areas.But girls are not a few just as the article's photo shows.After all,in developed rural areas or cities,the penalty of policy violations,one-child-policy or two-children-policy with a few strings attached,is very high,relatively their family incomes and often get additional punishments such as losing your jobs if you serve in the government department or state-owned public institutions.
By this, I am in your side. Still, I was not quite agree with "the cheaper ways(buying or stealing)." Because it is not cheap as far as I am concerned. It costs a buyer several hundreds of thousands RMB, which is almost equal to or more than the penaltys. So, I think the reason they buy a child is they can give a birth to a son, you might say, or a daugter.
Wow amazing to see so many examples of tu quoque and ad hominem in so few posts.
No wonder fixing this problem is so difficult.
I missed out on deflection.
Let's talk about test flights and missile tests.
Just PLEASE don't tackle the issue!
China could prove ultimate winner in Afghanistan.
"China could prove ultimate winner in Afghanistan"
Speaking of deflection.... here's a prime example.
I feel so sad that you didn't use the quote "5mao".
"I feel so sad that you didn't use the quote "5mao". "
Oooh I forgot avoidance!
Thanks for providing an example to remind me.
Wow amazing to see so many examples of tu quoque and ad hominem in so few posts.
"Thanks for providing an example to remind me."
You still need examples? so many examples should've trained you very well.
As a Chinese (I don't get paid 5mao, thanks), I don't mind the TE bringing up Child Snatching in China (And it is a huge problem), but to link it to Communist Government's one birth policy making this article nothing more than a second rated hit piece.
1) This problem is also huge in other part of Asia (If not the world), as noted by other posters here. Heck, at least in China the snatchers grab the babies after birth. Have you read about Americans who HACK apart pregnant women to steal their baby?
2) The one child policy is not to blame, since in India they often kidnap females for "brides" too. And India don't have a one child policy, but they also love to abort unwanted girls.
3) Also, child snatching existed before the one child policy, even in old Imperial days of China (IE my great-grandmother days), children snatching is something parents are often warned about. To say it happened only after 1949 is like saying slavery only happened after U.S achieved independence from Britain.
Aaah, so its cultural!
Makes it even more obscene then.
As a Chinese (I don't get paid 5mao, thanks),
You don't have to explain, quote "5mao" has become the only comfort some people can have, so let them have it. As long as authoritarian media controls information and public opinions, westerners will never have idea what hit them, like it is still beyond my ability to understand how on earth they convinced politicians in west to use Tibet as a weapon against China.
China's jumbo air freighter test flight a success.
China carries out anti-missile test.
Like this don't happen in every other country in the world.
"Like this don't happen in every other country in the world."
A prime example of tu quoque.
Love being proven right!
"A prime example of tu quoque.
Love being proven right!"
Oh look, someone who want to sound intellectual without actually doing the work.
I pointed out Child Snatching is an universal problem, which does not make China any worse than the rest of the world.
Why don't you try to refute that or agree, rather than trying to prove anything by a quote?
I finally figure out what were you doing.
"fallacy fallacy"
Quote: This fallacy's use is staggeringly common during internet debates, where pseudo-intellectualism reigns supreme. A person will seek out and attack any logical fallacy you use and dismiss your argument out of hand, without ever addressing the proposition. Fairly often, you might spot someone who will not even bother explaining why the fallacy is appropriate in that context. Some of the possible causes of this phenomena include: they are being lazy and are just arguing by assertion, they are trying to distract from their argument and are poisoning the well, or they learnt a fancy new Latin phrase and want to use it regardless of its applicability. If they have incorrectly used the fallacy then they have committed the fallacy fallacy fallacy.
Try again.
To the Editors,
Dear Sirs,
No doubt, child trafficking is a cruel trade
It's good that you highlight it
BUT --- you must also let the world knows the following trades are much more cruel
(1) the selling of weapons and arms that will kill millions
*2) The smuggling of narcotics
(3) the proliferation of nuclear weapons
AND ---true to form---China is again singled out when many other nations have similar problems of child trafficking
TE don't say many other nations haven't similar problems of child trafficking.It only says something ture already happened in China and hopes that it can get a good solution and be paid more attention.
..........hopes that it can get a good solution and be paid more attention.
That is rarely what media cares, like media in Hong Kong doesn't give a damn about tens of thousands of people living in cages.
The priority is if the issue serves their political goals.
As long as authoritarian media controls public opinions, New Yorkers will never enjoy walking in central park at midnight, part of their right which authoritarian media never care.
Wu dang Wushu,
You make an excellent point. Would you be kind enough to go and make a similar point at state-run newspapers such as "People's Eaily" and "China Daily" that turn out edition after edition of anti-West bias? Would you then provide a link to your published comment stating "stop demonising other countries, we do it to!"
Thank you, I look forward to seeing your call for unbiased balance published in a Chinese state-run newspaper.
I am a Canadian living in China. I am married to a Chinese wife. Our daughter is three years old. When she was born, my wife had to stay in a bed
in the hospital hallway. The hospital warned us to ensure that our baby was not stolen. A baby had been stolen a few weeks before. Of course I stayed awake beside my wife and child until they were able to move to a room 3 days later.
This is a major problem in China. It is kidnapping. The only solution is to treat it as such. The Chinese say, "Oh, the people who bought the child didn't have a son!" Bullshit!!! If the people who pay for a baby either an orphanage or a childless couple received an adequate penalty, they would not steal babies. The recipient needs to spend life in jail. They have stolen the life of the parents!!!!! Until China gets tough with the recipients they will continue to have this problem!!
A parent who watches over his daughter vigilently.
Child abduction is a lucrative business to abductors, who are stereotypically low-educated, deprived and unable to find other legitimate ways to climbing up the social ladder. They are the root of the problem and accordingly should be targeted in the appropriate course of action. However, we are given the impression that the Chinese authorities do not show initiative and endeavor in tackling the problem. Instead, the responsibility is, to a certain extent, delegated to parents and the people concerned. This leaves the question of why the authorities are not keen...
we are given the impression that the Chinese authorities do not show initiative and endeavor in tackling the problem.
11,000 gangs were smashed since 2009, may I ask what government should do?
Can you name a more swift action?
The punishment for such crime in China is ridiculous, traffickers often get away with only few years, and the buyer left unpunished. If police were to check identity of the homeless children on the streets it might already have solven half the problems. This is plainly incompetent government which is not doing enough to stop a hedious and serious crime (many children died or made disable).
However, the TE is full of idiots who will be just happy to link anything to communist, one child policy, etc, never mind that child trafficking was not a problem at all when China was truly a communist country with one child policy (think of the late 70s).
I agree with you.
But traffickers didn't hurt children, that is why they got away with only few years.
How should the buyers be punished? fine?
"Mr Xiao, the parent, believes the authorities could be doing a lot more. Buyers of abducted children still often get away without punishment—they usually live in villages and sometimes enjoy protection from local officials."
-------Right,it is a very confusion for many people inclding me,why buyers of abducted children didn't get punishments? China government is too mild to do that for so long time.All buyers and local officials who give protections need face severe punishments.More child traffickers should be sentenced to death.Kill them,one bullet,one child trafficker.A truck of bullets are enough to eliminate all child traffickers and similar crimes in China.
The deep-rooted reason behind it is due to chinese government paying too much attention to economic development which is urban-oriented and extremely disproportionate but ingoring the synchronized development of rural areas. If sensitive, we can notice that back in 1970-1990, there were a lot fewer child trafficking cases. However, the fast-growing economy during last 2 decades is along with the growing trend of child trifficking as more and more migrant workers from rural areas have flown into cities seeking for jobs and left their families and childern unattended. Besides, compared with the number of children abducted from rural areas, the number of urban children abducted is quite low. As stated above, the chinese government should shift their foucses more from cities to rural areas to reach the relatively equal development between them.
as if running out of topic to bash, now they report pitty or pitiful crimes in china.
child trafficking is serious crimes in most countries, but no country can promise it has gotten rid of the crime completely for good. child trafficking, although a serious and despicable crime even for one single occurrence, is rarer compared to the population sie of china. just ask usa, they have cases of kid kidnapping all the time, yet small in percentage of th usa population.
like dredging with the big buckets of earth moving machinery, there are always spillovers falling through or dripping out as the bucket is lifting out its bucketful ashore, one shoud not use the crime of child trafficking to decry the one-chld policy, let alone bashing it.
by the way, I am of the opinion that anyone caught and convicted child and woman trafficking with due process of the law should be sentenced to death as the only allowed punishment, with no if or but.
as if running out of topic to bash, now they report pitty or pitiful crimes in china. I bet TE can pretty much write the same story for just about any other country simply by substituting only the names and country with that country's in the article.
Your demand that the Economist play a propagandistic mouthpiece for China, reporting nothing but positive news, is childish, bizarre and idiotic.
that's not my demand. but thanks anyway.
Every time when Economist publishes article revealing China social/political issues, you can see so many Chinese-government sponsored net comment agents diligently defend their beloved communist party(government) and spread their propaganda.
Your post demonstrate why I found no reason to support your kind:
First, your kind won't be able to solve problems.
Second, my voice and opinions won't be respected by media or heard by public if your kind controls the media.
but who paid you to smear such falsehood here? which country is your beloved country?
aren't you ashamed of your rude behavior?
What on earth are you talking about?
Government can control information and public opinions, so do media and journalists.
They are what we Chinese call "Wumao(50 cents)" :D
Did you read the comments? There is plenty of criticism from Chinese commentators, in fact the Chinese social media is forming a network to offer a civil solution, but don't let your bias get in the way. Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Not to take sides, but with several commentators of this story implicating the communist party for somehow using authoritarian control in causing Chinese parents to wish for a boy, no one is taking any notice of how the identical wish (for a male child) is held by parents in neighboring (Asian and developing nation status) countries, including India, Thailand, and Malaysia - to mention just a few. The desire for a male child is rooted in a deeply-set, cultural belief that has been passed down for generations within Asian culture.
To those commentators, I would say, "Think before you speak. Learn before you judge."
To those who blame the Chinese evil-communist 1-child policy.
Please explain the rampant child-kidnapping (female) in India, where parents are allowed to have as many kids as they want, abort the girls. The hire snatchers so their boys can have a bride.
They are also a democracy and U.S Ally too :)
In India, girls are snatched so the son can have a breeding receptacle and housemaid.
In China, boys are snatched so son-less parents can have a filially-funded pension.
Maybe, but to say child snatching is a problem created by the Government's one birth policy is ludicrous. Child snatching has occurred often as well in "Free-to-breed" countries like India, and so are female abortions.
(note, is one birth, not one child. If you have twins they are not going to make you choose one)
In two succinct sentences :)
Rampant child snatching IN CHINA is indeed caused by the government's one child policy. In the past, parents with girl children could keep on trying to give birth to their "retirement plan". The Chinese, who reasonably do not want to starve in old age, want a boy child period, no matter if it's biologically theirs or not.
IN INDIA, families only want OTHER PEOPLE'S girls. One's own female offspring is a liability.
IN INDIA, families only want OTHER PEOPLE'S girls. One's own female offspring is a liability. It is in a family's economic interest to abort its own girls and snatch other people's ones.
