Some Southern Brazilians Want out Disillusioned with the Federal Government and Feeling Threatened by an Influx of Poor Northerners, Germanic Southern Brazilians Seek Independence. but Critics Charge Racism
Jeb Blount,, The Christian Science Monitor
IRTON MARX is fed up with fighting Brazil's bad image.
The squalid shantytowns, corrupt politicians, and economic chaos some foreigners associate with Brazil hardly exist in Santa Cruz do Sul, a prosperous, squeaky-clean city of 150,000 in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Portuguese signs remind visitors that they are in Brazil, but the fair-haired, light-skinned locals seem more a part of Germany or Northern Italy than the compatriots of the Iberian, Indian, and African peoples who dominate the rest of the country.
Furthermore, Mr. Marx can't stand samba. For a good time, he prefers the polka music of the Biergarten. Carnival, he says, is "disgusting."
Marx is so fed up that he wants out. As the leader of the Santa Cruz-based, Pro-Pampa Movement, he is fighting hard for the separation of Brazil's three southernmost states and the creation of an independent Federal Republic of the Gaucho Pampa, the plains area in southern Brazil defined by its cowboy past.
"Brazil is like the old Roman Empire; it is big and falling apart," says Marx, a blue-eyed, sandy-haired owner of a clothing factory and a publishing company. "Our culture and economy are different here in the south. We are part of the first world. We are subsidizing the whole country and getting nothing back. Our high-tech industries are being hurt by Brazil's horrible image of corruption and mismanagement."
Amid Brazil's economic crisis and in the run-up to an April 21 referendum that may restructure the federal government, the Pro-Pampa Movement is probably the most explicit example of longstanding regional bickering over fiscal and political issues.
The movement already has a flag, is issuing identity cards, and claims more than 700,000 official members in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Parana - the three states he hopes will secede, with a total population of about 22 million. Marx says he wants to adopt the deutsche mark as the currency of the new republic and make German and Italian official languages alongside Portuguese.
Compared to the rest of Brazil, slavery was rare in the south and much of the region is dominated by descendants of immigrants who came from Germany and Northern Italy in the last half of the 19th century. In Santa Cruz and other cities German language is a required subject in school.
The region's "Teutonic" character, Marx says, is threatened by the mass migration of poor, unskilled, and mostly non-white workers from the impoverished Brazilian northeast.
"When we are in the factory working," he explains, "the northeasterner is on the beach. Our republic won't have any preference or prejudice toward any ethnic or religious group, but we want to maintain our way of life. We don't want shantytowns of Rio or Sao Paulo." Real grievances
Even the many political figures and newspapers who denounce the Pro-Pampa Movement's racist overtones admit that its strength is based on real grievances.
"The disintegrating effects of the global economy are happening in Brazil too," said Espacio Camargo, a leading Brazilian historian who has debated Marx. "In the face of this, Brazil has begun to fall apart. I happen to think that this Pro-Pampa Movement is proto-fascist, but it is based on honest concerns."
In particular, Ms. Camargo says, the country's 50-year-old nationalist economic and political model no longer functions. …

The temp control is not working. It always blows out hot air. Even when you turn on the AC, hot air blows through the vents. I can tell that the AC compressor is engaging. My question is...Is their a door or motor that controls temp? What's most likely the problem and how difficult is it to fix?

Oh my goodness…. I have an OBSESSION with this Eclair cake. It is absolutely DIVINE! And guess what?!..it is SO simple to make! It does need to refrigerate it over night, so plan accordingly. This is my go to recipe for parties and get togethers. Everyone ALWAYS asks for the recipe… well, I am going to let you in on the secret so you can impress your friends and family, too!
- 2 (3.4 oz) packages Vanilla Instant Pudding mix, dry
- 3½ cups whole milk
- 12 oz. cool whip
- 2 (14.4) oz packages graham crackers
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 3 Tbsp. milk
- 3 Tbsp. cocoa
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Blend milk and vanilla pudding packets for about 2 minutes. Fold in Cool Whip.
- In a 9x13 pan, Layer graham crackers to cover entire bottom of pan. You may need to cut and shape the crackers to fit nicely.
- Pour half of pudding/cool whip mixture on top and level.
- Put another layer of graham crackers to cover entire surface. Cut and shape crackers accordingly.
- Put the second half of pudding/cool whip mixture on top and level.
- Put the final layer of graham crackers on top with bumpy side down. This will help the top look more smooth when you go to put the frosting on top. Once again, cut and shape crackers accordingly to avoid pits and cracks.
- FOR THE FROSTING: Microwave butter and milk just enough so that they are melted together. You do not need to boil it. Add cocoa and powdered sugar and blend together. This will be a runnier frosting/glaze. Pour over top of graham crackers and smooth out nicely. (**I usually double the frosting recipe)
- Refrigerate overnight and Dig in!

text: So at first I thought this was the most outrageous stroller I had every seen in my life until I pushed it and then fell in love. Not being born a Rockefeller, we opted for the Britax B-Ready which I loveeee and we got a cheap jogger. Well my SO called last night asking if I wanted the origami, he saw an insane deal on them. I'm not worried about having too many strollers, my mom will have my little girl half days every day so I can leave the b-ready there (until baby#2 when I will convert to a double stroller.) My question is if anyone actually has one of these and if they like it? It really is a good deal, not much more than I paid for my b-ready but still a decent size purchase. Any input is greatly appreciated

Like many Third World countries, Jordan faces several challenges that authorities try to overcome or, at least, reduce their negative impact.
High on the list are low standards of living, poverty, high unemployment and excessive indebtedness. [2]To these, many more can be added.
This article is to make the simple assertion that the answer to all these anomalies is economic growth, which enlarges the piece of cake before it is distributed among the population.
Growth creates wealth, reduces poverty, creates jobs and enhances the domestic revenue of the budget in a way that reduces deficit and the need for borrowing, or at least prevents it from growing fast, as is happening now.
Yes, economic growth can be the answer for all these and other challenges. Alas, achieving high economic growth is not easy. [3]
The question is how to focus on this basic solution, meaning economic growth, instead of wasting time searching for partial and separate remedies for each one of the problems facing the country, and how Jordan can catch up with the advanced world where the per capita income is 10 times or more than the prevailing per capita income in Jordan. [4]
Jordan tried central planning, it forged three-year and five-year economic and social development plans, but the results were disappointing.
If anything, public debt continued to rise [5], inequality became worse, causing the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.
In theory, economic growth can be achieved through several approaches, individually or a combination of them, such as investments in new or existing projects, which should be encouraged and motivated to accumulate additional production factors to contribute to the augmentation of the gross domestic product.
Another approach is to enhance productivity, meaning increasing output from the available production outfits.
This may be possible through modernisation, automation, training and improving efficiency of management.
Among other obvious factors is attracting more Arab and foreign tourists.
Tourism currently contributes no more than 6 per cent to GDP, while it has the proven potential to contribute 10 per cent or more within a few years. [6]
In this respect, the role played by Jordanian expatriates could not be ignored.
They support the economy with their remittances in foreign exchange. They deserve more attention.
Admittedly, the massive drain of qualified personnel to the Gulf states may have a negative effect on the national economy, but Jordan was, and will continue to be, a school producing and exporting high-calibre personnel.
Economic growth is not mere enlargement in numbers or volume, it has to be built on sound, sustainable, basis.
This should give high priority to the implementation of the economic and fiscal reform programme, to deal with the fiscal and economic distortions.

While underage prostitution may have been the most sensational of the charges leveled against Gambino soldiers this week, the Butcher Blog points out that two of the defendants are accused of defrauding certain unnamed "high-end restaurants" by inflating invoices for meat orders by as much as 40 percent and paying 5 percent kickbacks to the chefs for turning a blind eye.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

"Suprising Kelso" Kelso by stevezero
Kelso Travel Guide: 15 reviews and 46 photos
Kelso is a small town in the Scottish Borders region, with a population of just 6000. There is a cobbled French style square in the town centre, surrounded by plenty of good places to eat and drink.
There is also plenty of history, with the ruins of the once great abbey in the town, and the amazing nearby Floors castle.
For sports lovers, Kelso Racecourse is the home of National Hunt racing in the UK.

Donald Becker has been moved from the intensive care unit of PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center to a regular floor and is in satisfactory condition, a nursing supervisor said.
Becker had been riding in the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic when he was injured, authorities said.
Centralia police said Becker was struck about 2 p.m. and run over by the truck's dual rear tires, injuring his shoulders, back and lungs.
Police said it was "purely an accident" and did not cite the truck driver.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Earth Friends Cafe - Market St
by AuraCV
Review: A few weeks ago Earth Friends Cafe relocated to the neighborhood where I work. I had been previously to their New Albany location and found it tasty and enjoyable, but slightly out of my way. A while back they put up a poll asking what neighborhood in Louisville their Facebook fans would like for them to relocate. I voted NuLu!! And asked a few other people I know to do the same. I had been keeping up with facebook posts ever since and showed up on opening day at the new location. I am happy to have the cafe close by for coffee and a hearty and satisfying lunch option. The menu is simple yet diverse and will please even the most picky eater or people with food allergies or who are strict vegans. I haven spoken with one of the owners and I am happy to report not only do they change their gloves when making vegan or gluten free items, but they also uphold the highest standards regarding purchasing for the cafe right down to the cleaning products. You will find lots of local products from other small businesses including coffee beans from local roasteries and vegan/gluten free baked goods! It is difficult to please everyone, but I believe that Earth Friends is certainly accomplishing it well. If you fancy coffee, soups, salads, and sandwiches/wraps you will leave satisfied and well-nourished.

ridge. Immediately, one man was downed from a long range shot by an enemy sniper.
The rest of the fire received, however, was sporadic and inaccurate, so the first shot
had been "lucky." The platoon kept advancing, keeping to the cover of the trees
wherever possible.15
The 3rd Platoon, under 2ndLt Charles Conyngham (who had commanded his
platoon less than two months and had, in an improbable coincidence, succeeded his
brother, John Conygnham in command), moved along the ridge adjacent to the trail
taken by the 2nd Platoon, trying to keep in defilade behind the small finger ridge, and by
1730 had made it to within 500 yards of the objective. It was here these Marines
suddenly received intense small arms and MG fire from the front. This hot firefight
stopped the 3rd Platoon's advance. A withering crossfire swept the ridge, riddling
Marines with heavy slugs before they could get to cover, and plunging the platoon into
confusion. Just then the mortar rounds began to drop, spraying daisy-cutter fragments
of white-hot steel across the Marine positions, some finding flesh and spattering the
Korean hill with American blood.16
The wounded fell where they were hit, many in dangerously exposed positions
with bullets and shell fragments kicking up dirt all around. Among those hit were the
platoon leader, platoon sergeant, and one squad leader. It was then that Hospitalman
Clines (no first name recorded), a Navy corpsman with the 3rd Platoon rushed from
cover to aid the casualties. He seemed to ignore the ground-churning, heavy caliber MG
slugs that erupted showers of debris, rock, and dirt all around him as he rendered first-

Soldiers with the 159th Combat Aviation Brigade, along with others with the 101st Airborne Division, run to their respective places for a formation Wednesday at the Sabalauski Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, Ky. The grueling 10-day course, which teaches slingload techniques, rappelling and fast-roping, challenges Soldiers' levels of discipline and physical and mental capabilities.

The annual Junior Auxiliary Ball was held Saturday at the Northwood Country Club. Each year the Junior Auxiliary presents the Humanitarian of the Year Award. This year Ginger Stevens, the Executive Director of Meridian's Wesley House was chosen.
"I can't believe I was chosen as the Humanitarian of the Year. I first became associated with the Junior Auxiliary years and years ago when they entrusted the Christmas clearing house to the Wesley House. So we've had a long relationship over the years and I've seen what they do in the community, so I'm really honored that now they are honoring me," says Ginger Stevens.
Stevens says she is humbled and honored to be named the Humanitarian of the Year. She says she is mostly just impressed with the work of the Junior Auxiliary.

I was just thinking, while I've been very impressed with Contador's ride so far, he's not really up against a very impressive field so far, is he? Nibali is about the only rider with some pedigree, and that's only one season's worth.
The serious heavies - Andy, Basso and Cuddles - and their top domestiques are readying themselves for a different race.
I'd like to see if he is able to destroy these guys as easily or not. Damn shame it is likely to be another year before we get to see this.

Spring has sprung in the Northwoods. Communed with my powerwasher yesterday with the result of four very clean vehicles, two of which are motorcycles. We still have some pea gravel issues for the unwary left over from the winter, but it's definintely riding time again.

Ya. yesterday was close to 70, and I went out for a 1 hour ride before rush hour. It was wonderful to be back on the horse again with my spring Scorpion jacket. w/ full padding.
Watch out for that sand and salt left by the spreaders, and in NYC, the potholes are so bad, it's like riding a dirtbike, mostly up out of the saddle. But a bad day on the bike is better than a good day at work!
It's rainy and back in the upper '40's now.
Last year, I had the upper flies removed and a PCIV installed, so if it's possible, I made a 2.3 second bike even faster (not that I'll ever use it's potential.
Working towards this (not bad for a 500lb. bike), no?:

My thoughts exactly. Pretty wicked.
well got approved for a used motorcycle loan at a ridiculously low interest rate..haven't got around to test riding the different bikes cause i've been sick all week. street bike's sold last weekend.
alphaphoienix, know what you mean about riding in the PNW, especially a super sport one.
Been busy building up a trailer to haul my dirt bike last weekend. hoping to have it ready in a few days.
Love your bike, ronin74! I didn't pick the one up down here, but there is a Buell in my future. I love the company.
And I have to agree with you about the rest, though I haven't gone back to film yet. I'm trigger-happy with the Nikon and love emailing photos around. Though part of me wants to fool around with medium format and platinum prints.
Thanks! There's something about running a belt and not a chain, lifters instead of a chain, it's...liberating.
I heard a rumor that Eric Buell Inc. is coming back, independent of Harley. Harley/Buell folded last year so there aren't any new beasts on the market. Can't wait to see what Eric comes up with next.
FWIW my motor images on page 5 of this thread were scanned contact prints shot with an 8x10 view camera on paper negatives, presently I'm experimenting with gum bichromate prints from Polaroid SX-70 lifts. (yeah I think I'm crazy).
Good thing you're back in the saddle, you seemed to be getting a little cranky, a little cabin fever.
And yes I actually did "get" what you were saying, but my shit-for-brains just heard..."your shit (fecal matter) was silky smooth because of your BMW Twin/Ex-lax."
When you get to my age a soft shit and a warm bed become priorities.
By definition a "Thumper" is a single cylinder, 4-stroke, which also promotes prostate health.
I was going to suggest "Trailer In a Bag" until I saw the cost. Definitely not worth $1200, but maybe you can get some ideas.
Apologies for the multi-posts, too tired to think in any organized fashion.

Tru Dat
I wish that was me. The last time I lifted my front end close to that, was by accident, when a German Shepard came lunging at me out of nowhere in the street while I was going from 1st to 2nd .
That's a track bike, No plate, no rear signals.That's really bad for the oil in your engine. I've heard of guys doing that, and then blowing a hole in their engine 2 miles down the road.
Nothing like seeing what your cylinders look like while the bike is still on.

That's pretty cool!! I wouldn't mind the 1200$ price given the fact that the other option would have been to buy a truck (in this economy and gas prices :P ).

^^ 675 Triple for sure!!
I have tried it on a demo day and it was amazing! I still prefer the 600RR or the R6, but that's just me. I would have one of these if my insurance wouldn't be $10,000 :(. 2 years - then I can upgrade to a supersport :D
they are both 675 triples..but i know you are talking about the daytona.
reasons for preferring the 600RR or the R^?
If the daytona doesn't do it for me, then i will try out the R6. I am rather partial towards the yamahas. :P

I tried the Daytona at a Super Sunday. They had a trailer with all of their bikes in Hebron, CT (so did BMW), and I can tell you that it looks better than it rides (at least 2-up, it does).
i am yet to try the daytona and the street triple...going to ride the R6, CBR and the ZX6R as well and see what feels right to me.
The street triple makes more sense for every day riding though the super sports look way cooler.
What would you guys recommend i look at ? I have ridden the SV650 and its really nice, especially the one i rode (heavily modified and tuned just right) and is worth considering too. The ducati monster is another, though its air cooled and so will have starting problems in the cold weather and have a dry clutch which i am not too fond of.

Byron's Bay is a surfer's paradise along the east coast of Australia. The drive getting here was mostly nice too. We saw a number of Kangaroos along the side of the road trying to stay out of the hot sun. We didn't get a chance to surf here at the bay because the conditions weren't that great and the board rentals are very expensive (also there ...Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia joshandtara

The Moon as We See It. Did you ever stop to consider the fact that the inhabitants of this earth have never seen but one side of the moon, and to inquire the reasons why such is the case? The explanation is this: The moon makes one revolution on her axis in the same period of time that she takes up in revolving once around the earth, thus the same geographical region of the lunar surface is always toward us. As one ex- planation usually calls for another, it may not be out of place to mention the fact that the reasons the two motions of moon above referred to so nearly coincide are these: The moon is not a true globe, but is very elliptical in form. It did not in all probabilities orginally start on its axial rotation with precisely the same velocity with which it moved around the earth, but the very best astronomers say that the two motions were not far apart in the start. Assuming that the moon was semi-liquid or at least soft in those re- mote days, the earth's attraction caused the lunar surface to elongate, and in the untold ages which followed its axial ro- tation, owing to the attractive influence of both the earth and the sun. was made to correspond with its orbital movement around the Louis Republic.

While discussing the matter of the troubles and trials of banking business of today President James Espy of the Ohio Valley National bank said to a group of friends: "I tell you that we do not know anything about the peculiari- ties of the banking business. I have heard officials of the bank when I was be- ginning in the business rehearse the expe- riences in early banking in Virginia. As is well known, the residents of that state were not much given to business tactics. Whenever they bad occasion to issue a note, and it was quite frequent, the bank officials had to drive around to the vari- ous farms, or to the place where the maker lived, and it was quite difficult to get them to sign the original, but much more so a renewal.

"Penang - Street Food Paradise" Penang by chatterley
Penang Travel Guide: 2,549 reviews and 5,629 photos
5 - 7 September 2009
Hubby's got a one-day leave from work, so we decided to make use of the weekend to travel. We left Singapore on Saturday early morning flight (yeah, it was really early, our flight was at 7.00 am, and we arrived in Penang at 8.10 am) and returned on Monday morning.
We were having a hard time deciding between staying at Georgetown (where all the action and sights were) and Batu Ferringhi (beach). In the end, we chose the latter and booked a Beach Wing room at the Holiday Inn Resorts. The hotel was located right on the beach, and this view (refer to picture) was what we enjoyed.
The sight-seeing places we visited were:
Khoo Kong Si (also known as Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi)
Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion
Penang Butterfly Farm
Penang Toy Museum
and the Batu Ferringhi Beach (plus its night bazaar)
and we gorged ourselves silly with these food:
Kway Teow Th'ng (Pitt Street)
Penang Laksa (Gurney Drive Food Centre)
Char Kway Teow (Gurney Drive Food Centre)
Wan Ton Mee (Gurney Drive Food Centre)
Oyster Omelette (Gurney Drive Food Centre)
Tow Huay aka Beancurd Jelly (Gurney Drive Food Centre)
Seafood at a local restaurant named Eden (Batu Ferringhi)
and since the meals in the hotel were very expensive, we ate our breakfast at this joint called 'Jewel of the North', which was quite popular (Batu Ferringhi)

I wanted to try this dish, but didn't find it much to my liking. The omelette was a bit too salty and oily for me.... more travel advice

for best Char Koay Teow in Penang it has to be the one in Lorong Selamat or Kimberley Street ..the one in Gurney Drive is more for tourist :-)

Pro-Cuba protesters halt dissident's Brazil event
FEIRA DE SANTANA, Brazil Boisterous protesters backing the Cuban government blocked the Monday screening of a documentary featuring Cuba's best-known dissident, the blogger Yoani Sanchez, who was in attendance after being allowed to leave the communist island for the first time in nearly a decade.
Small groups of protesters met Sanchez when she arrived earlier Monday at two airports in Brazil's northeast. They called her a "mercenary" who was being financed by the CIA and tossed photocopied U.S. dollar bills her way. One protester got close enough to pull her hair.
Sanchez was also met by supporters and throughout the day in Tweets and a blog posting expressed her joy at being in Brazil, the first stop on her 80-day tour of about a dozen nations.
Yet at the evening screening in a museum, about four dozen protesters surrounded her the moment she walked through the door, shouting "Cuba yes! Yankees no!" and forcing security guards to evacuate her to a nearby room.
"I was expecting it, even before leaving Cuba I knew this could happen," Sanchez told The Associated Press minutes later inside the room where she was taken for protection. "It's sad because I've been waiting one year for this, I really wanted to see (the) film."
About an hour after being taken out of the screening room, Sanchez, accompanied by Brazilian Sen. Eduardo Suplicy, went to speak to the crowd, both protesters and supporters.
"After remaining silent for a long time, after living in a society where not speaking up was the option of the majority of my countrymen, after so much silence, one fine day I couldn't take it anymore and I started a blog," she told those gathered, some who cheered, some who booed.
Sanchez stayed with the crowd for about 45 minutes, then left the venue.
Sanchez's ability to leave her homeland was seen as a test of a new Cuba law, announced in October, which eliminated the exit permit that had been required of islanders for five decades.
Cuban authorities can still deny travel in cases of defense and "national security," among other reasons, and some dissidents continue to face restrictions. Still, the exit permit's demise is seen as one of the most significant reforms of President Raul Castro's ongoing plan to refashion some elements of the economy, government and society.
"The immigration reform doesn't have the depth we would have expected but there has been a change," Sanchez told the AP. "Where we haven't seen changes is on the political side, we need to see freedom of association, freedom of speech. Without these the reforms are incomplete."
She added that the reforms with the biggest impact on Cubans' lives have been "on the economic side. Giving unused land to people for production is important, the freedom to buy and sell cars which seems like a small thing is a tremendous change."
Sanchez's Brazil trip was paid through online donations - the Brazilian director of a documentary she appeared in launched the fundraising campaign. The city government of Feira de Santana, where the film was supposed to be screened Monday, paid for her accommodation.
Ted Henken, a professor of Latin American studies at New York's Baruch College who studies social media and civil society in Cuba, is closely involved in arranging Sanchez's U.S. meetings and appearances. He said in an emailed response that the U.S. government "has not contributed one penny to her trip." He said the bulk of the money for the U.S. leg of Sanchez's trip is being funded by universities she'll visit.
"She is not being paid for her appearance by any of these institutions partly because - irony - the embargo prevents it. A small per diem is all that's allowed apart from covering travel and lodging costs," Henken said.

The Panhandle saw its first snow since 1993, to the delight of many kids. An hour down the road, 8-year old Wyatt Roberts was still waiting for snow.
"I want to jump in it," said Wyatt.
Wyatt won't go back to school until after Presidents Day.
Fears that the freezing rain would turn into ice caused several schools in the panhandle to close.
At noon on Friday, Holmes County Schools were closed, even though not a flake had fallen. The sheriff says it was preemptive.
"We don't want bus loads of kids driving around on slick roads. Someone could get hurt," said Sheriff Tim Brown.
Road crews in Florida lack the heavy snow plows and salt trucks necessary to clear dangerous roadways, and very few drivers have experience on ice.
"It was March 1993 last time it snowed here," said Pam Tucker.
Florida got just a dusting, but across the state line, snow stuck to cars and houses.
Today's dusting marks the second time it's snowed in Florida this year.
Jacksonville and parts of Central Florida saw snow in January.
It snowed a total of six times last decade.
