'Out of control' foreign divorce 'squeezing out needy litigants'
Topics: Costs, fees and funding,Family and children,Litigation,Courts business
A High Court judge has spoken out against the court time taken by wealthy international litigants engaged in 'out of control' divorce proceedings.
Mr Justice Holman used a judgment in an application for further maintenance to outline his concerns at the expense and hours accrued so far.
Holman estimated that Chai v Peng has so far incurred £1.6m in costs in England, and Malaysia, where the husband lives.
His wife of 42 years, who lives in a £30m property in Hertfordshire, was the first to commence proceedings in England and has so far incurred £920,000 in costs in this country alone.
Holman said English courts are subject to an overriding objective to deal with cases justly, but urged both parties to act before the 'appalling litigation gets yet further out of control'.
The judge said the aggregate court fees paid by the parties to date are 'a mere' £2,355 – for which they have had all or part of six days of court time in England.
He added: 'So far as the situation here is concerned, neither of them are British citizens. Neither of them currently pays any English taxes whatsoever.
'Very serious issues ought to arise as to just how much time of an English court these parties should be able to take up on these preliminary skirmishes, whilst squeezing out the many needy litigants who need precious court time to recover their children from abduction or seek their return from care, and other such issues.'
A hearing of two days has been fixed for this spring, with a further 10 days of court time set aside in October to decide whether the divorce takes place in England or Malaysia.
Holman said the wife's total costs for the last week's one-day hearing were £55,000. The cost of the projected October hearing he expects to be 'little short of mind-boggling'.
He described the litigation as now 'completely out of control' with 'phenomenal' costs and court time taken.
He urged both parties to sit down together and negotiate, but in the meantime ordered maintenance payments to the wife of £70,000 until the next hearing on 30 April, with a £100,000 limit on her legal costs.
Readers' comments (5)
£2355 for 6 days Court time? Your bog standard divorce would generally expect to get an FDA, and FDR and 2 or 3 days trial if need be for £255, so that doesn't seem to be that dreadful a deal for the MoJ. And these people may not be paying UK taxes on their income, but they must be pouring money into the revenue through VAT and their lawyers' taxes.
Really, if these disgustingly wealthy people would rather spend their money on lawyers than keep it for themselves, why shouldn't they?
If she lives in a £30 Million house in Hertfordshire then she must be paying some form of tax!
If the couple do not believe in mediation, then nothing wrong in spending their millions paying British Solicitors and Barristers. After all, those UK based solicitors and Barristers will end up being bled by the HMRC.
Since when do our Judiciary determine "policy". If his Lordship doesn't want the job but prefers to deal in politics, then he can resign and concentrate on sitting in The Lords and persuading his fellow politicians to change the Rules.
And what's this about "getting children back". From what I'm reading, the High Court seems to spend its time depriving parents of children and suppressing any publicity about the latest outrageous decision.

Taco on a Platter
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 25 mins
DH loves Mexican and requests it often. This recipe is from Company's Coming Greatist Hits Mexican. It's a good way to eat tacos without all the mess (even though it may not be authentic). You can make the beef sauce a day ahead and refrigerate it. Just heat thoroughly before assembling.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 907.18 g lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 396.89 g can tomato paste
- 396.89 g can crushed tomatoes
- 29.58 ml chili powder
- 4.92 ml ground cumin
- 2.46 ml garlic powder
- 9.85 ml salt
- 793.78 g can pork and beans in tomato sauce
- 473.18 ml corn chips, broken
- 473.18 ml cooked long-grain rice, hot
- 473.18 ml medium cheddar, grated
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 78.07 ml sliced ripe olives, pitted
- In a large non-stick frying, scramble-fry ground beef and onion until no longer pink and onion is soft.
- Drain excess fat.
- Add next 6 ingredients, mix well and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Add beans and heat through.
- Layer corn chips, rice, beef mixture, cheese, red onion, lettuce, tomato and olives on large platter.
Most Helpful
YUMMY! I used Xni-Pec Salsa instead of tomatoes so it provided a great zip. I also added fat free sour cream and omitted rice and olives. Sort of an upscale frito pie :) I also served/layered on individual plates versus on large platter.

What a GREAT bread! I served it with chicken feta soup. Chicken Feta Soup
This bread is outstanding. I prepared it as directed in my bread machine. I used fresh spinach, 4 oz of feta and brushed the loaf with the beaten egg. Served it tonight with beef stew. This is really good. Thanks for a great recipe.

Allison's Reviews > A Rose for Melinda
A Rose for Melinda
by Lurlene McDaniel (Goodreads Author)
by Lurlene McDaniel (Goodreads Author)
Allison's review
Nov 02, 2009
The book A Rose For Melinda is about a girl who has been in ballet since she was six years old and has had a friend who was a boy and he went to her first performance and gave her a rose. This book was very sad because Melinda finds out she has cancer and can no longer do ballet which is the most important thing in her life besides her best friend Jesse. The most captivating part of the book was when Melinda was rushed to the hospital without her parents there because she was accepted into a summer dance program. What kept me reading this book was the book was made into all the emails and letters that were sent between Jesse and Melinda. It was kind of hard to predict the ending of the book because parts I guessed were right and other parts were wrong. My favorite character in the book was Jesse because he's depressed the entire time because first she moves away then he finds out she has cancer and can't do ballet any more. In my opinion I think he had the hardest time dealing with everything. My least favorite character is Bailey because at times she's cool but other times she's kind of annoying and that's what makes me dislike her as a character. I think the author wrote this book because she wanted to tell a story about how life altering things can happen in a teenagers life, and to tell how hard life can be if you have a disability. I would recommend this book to anyone who can relate to the struggles that happen when you have a disability and also to people who are okay to cry while reading a book. My favorite line from the book is "I'll be your eyes and ears, Jesse" because Bailey is confirming that she will tell him everything that happens to Melinda. If the book was made into a movie I'd choose Dakota Fanning as Melinda, Abigail Breslin as Bailey, and Josh Hutcherson to play the role of Jesse.

This hotel is out east of Tampa, with very little around it. There was a Bob Evans, but I never got back to the hotel before ten pm, so it was closed when I needed to eat. There was a Wendy's nearby. For some reason the cleaning person took my cigarette lighter, so i had to go out after midnight to find one. The clerk behind the desk could not have cared less.
Overall, the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Wi-fi was excellent.

Aircraft Tooling & Design Group - Odessa, FL - Phone: (727) 372-6525
Aerospace industries in Odessa are relatively new in the industry arena. These industries are involved with the research work, designing and manufacturing of products which are related to the atmosphere as well as space. Aerospace industries find their need not only for commercial purposes but also for military and other industrial purpose. The importance of aerospace industries is growing manifold especially for commercial purpose as more and more people are relying on aircrafts as their mode of travel. A part of the country's national safety and security also lies in the hands of the aerospace industries.
Both public and private industries have cooperated to build up the aerospace industries in many countries. Some of the popular examples are NASA in the United States, The Canadian Space Agency in Canada, ISRO and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in India, RKA in Russia and many more.
The aerospace industry has come a long way since its origin in 1903 when the Wright brothers invented the first powered flight. There has been a great transition of the aerospace industry starting from hot air balloons to military cargo airplanes to man-made satellites and the modern day aircrafts. In the coming years, the aerospace industries are surely to grow more and become more advantageous for the common man.

Cartagena, Colombia
June 18th – 21st
Far far away from Chicago, IL is a city painted in color.
Bright pink, yellow, orange, and green drench the walls of ancient colonial buildings. Bold is beautiful and better yet, it is charming. Cobblestone streets line the ground as horses trot upon the stone while small taxi cars zoom past. The air is sweltering and sultry and the Caribbean Sea is balmy yet refreshing. It is a place where relaxation, indulging in fresh fruit, sitting on park benches, and watching soccer matches is a way of life. Hustle bustle is non-existent. Slow and steady is air itself.
Old Town Cartagena is the city where I found bravery and strength in mind.
I first arrived in Cartagena, Colombia with a 30 liter backpack, a heart full of adventure, and 40 USD to my name. My Spanish was horrible at best but my mind was hungry to learn a new language and culture. Yes, I could have taken a class or could have learned before but what better way than to do what scares you most? Plus, I had only bought the ticket a couple of weeks in advance and had started planning the trip 3-4 days before take off…. Does that get your heart going? Because that was the ultimate plan. Scare myself to learn how much I could depend, trust, and believe in who I was and who I would become in the face of adversity.
As I landed in Colombia I chose one of the cheapest hostels I could find ($8 a night) with the best ratings. Fast forward two hours later as I made my way through customs I was shocked to discover not a single local resident spoke english. Boy was this going to be quite the journey. As such, my debit and credit card were rejected as I frantically tried every ATM in the airport radius. The ATM's were in Spanish and thankfully my basic understanding of Italian came in handy (Spanish and Italian are similar in some regards). Still, no dough. Thankfully I met a wonderful Swedish man by the name of Gustav who spoke fluent English. Gustav had traveled to Colombia to take classes and learn Spanish. We hopped in a cab together and navigated the city. With zero pesos to my name, Gustav was kind enough to pay for my taxi with no expectation of reimbursement. Gustav gave me hope. He showed me the kindness of a stranger with a heart of a lion. Experiencing his kindness in a world I did not know made me brave. If a stranger could be kind than other strangers could be too.
No money. No Spanish. No friends. Just me…..and I was brave.
Brave enough to make another friend, who, oddly enough was from Chicago and an avid traveler with plenty of advice. Brave enough to explore a city without a map. Brave enough to interact with locals to learn their culture and language. And brave enough to let things be.
I was in a weird and wonderful world where – unlike the United States – everything was not sanitized. Everything was raw. When I say raw I mean dangerous, thrilling, somewhat dirty, and safe all at the same time.
The next day, bank issues were resolved and I could breathe again. Everything was going to be ok. Then again, how could it not in a country like Colombia?
Bravery was lettered but what about strength in mind? Well, that's another story…
For time's sake let's keep it short. After all, this blog is about travel highlights and personal growth.
A new friend of mine I had met at the hostel (Las Tortugas) spoke fluent Spanish, French, and English. Thank God someone new English AND Spanish. We traveled to a small fishing village outside of Cartagena called La Baquilla. There we swam and played with the local children who were fascinated with my so-called "blonde" hair. They couldn't speak a word of English and I couldn't speak much Spanish but somehow we made it work. We understood each other. We spoke with our bodies, our facial expressions, and our laughter. After swimming and playing with the children we walked through a village built up of huts. Restaurants lined the village under straw roofs that offered fresh fish and coca-cola (coca-cola is sold in every store and restaurant and is very popular in Colombia). Children played in the streets kicking tattered balls with their dirty bare feet as parents watched closely from the distance of their small homes.
At the bus stop, my mate and I smiled and chatted with each other about the limitless of beauty as we waited for our ride back to the city. We stood there, happy and aware of our surroundings. My friend had two backpacks on her since she was debating staying in the village and decided against it after seeing the conditions. A gentleman stood at the bus stop with us. He was dressed nicely and was a local of the village. He wore dark washed jeans and an aqua light blue collard shirt. As the bus approached we started walking closer to the dirt road when suddenly, everything hit slow motion. I felt a tug on the bag I was wearing as the woven strap across my chest was torn off. I looked back at him as I turned around and snatched the bag out of shock. His hand on top of mine, he squeezed as we played tug-a-war with the bag. I noticed he was unarmed and decided to fight for what was mine. I screamed for help as a bus full of people stopped while people watched from all around. We tugged for the bag as it went back and forth between us until his strength overpowered mine. He ran off. He ran off with my only source of communication (iPhone 5) and pesos equivalent to 30 USD. Luckily, I had heard of situations like this before and was well aware to leave my passport, ATM cards, and money back in a lockbox at the hostel. My friend on the other hand did not since she was mobile. We flagged a police officer down as my friend recounted the situation to him in Spanish. His response translated to: "What do you want me to do about it?" Local people surrounded us as I stood there in disbelief. How could this happen? I mean I had read about robberies in Colombia but never thought it could be me. Why me? Why now? The people started debating loudly. One side wanted justice and knew the young man. He was a common thief and was driving down tourism and business in the small village. The other side thought God would take care of it and to leave his punishment up to the almighty.
Shock turned to disbelief. Disbelief turned to acceptance. Acceptance turned to gratitude.
I had never been mugged before. The man was not armed. I fought back and trusted my reflexes.
Is this bravery? Maybe. But to me it was much more. This was strength in mind. For others this would have ruined their trip and made them feel extremely unsafe. For me, it MADE my trip and made me more empathetic and understanding of a culture I did not quite know. Why was this man robbing innocent tourists in the first place? Was he malicious? I doubt it since he had no intention to hurt me. I believe it is because of his socio-economic status. Living in a poor fishing village with little hope for advancement in career is something I do not know. Supporting a family and living in poverty is something else I do not know. What if this man was a good guy? A man I would call my friend who felt pressured and desperate to earn more to feed himself and his family? I am not saying his method is correct. I simply do not know his story.
But I do know mine.
Just like the walls of Cartagena, I wanted to paint my mind bold and bright. No negativity. No preconceived judgements. No fuss over lost material possessions.
I was healthy.
I was happy.
I was grateful to be alive.
So paint my life. Paint your life. Paint it anything but black.

Original article URL: http://bridgemi.com/2011/09/legislature-check-your-residency-work/
13 September 2011
One of the more ill-advised things the Legislature and Gov. John Engler did back in the 1990s was to impose their "wisdom" on Michigan communities that made residency requirements for certain public servants. The Legislature decided that for the city of Detroit to require police officers to live in Detroit was unacceptable, for example.
They all but barred the practice via Public Act 212 of 1999.
The libertarian in me says this is a matter of freedom. Employers shouldn't be able to tell employees where to live.
Of course, true freedom means the freedom not to choose a job or career. No one forces a person to become a police officer or firefighter or clerk in a city's treasury department.
And local governments have a strong vested interest in establishing residency rules, for good reason.
Think like a taxpayer for a moment. You pay taxes to support your local government, including the salaries and benefits of public employees. Those public employees, however, may not contribute to the same degree; in some cases, they may not provide any local property or income tax to support the community that supports their family. Odd.
Cities also have a vested interest in having houses occupied and maintained. A residency program creates a better market for said housing. Neighborhoods are stabilized. Urban cores are strengthened and an entire region can benefit. (And, for another day, we'll get into how suburbs don't do too well when the nearby urban core falters.)
Sure, you can have incentive programs to attract public servants to live inside a jurisdiction. And private employers have been known to offer incentives as well. But incentives usually require dollars, something in short supply in local governments these days.
Is there an energetic lawmaker at the Capitol these days who would go to the trouble to hold some hearings to actually determine the value of Michigan's 1999 diktat against residency requirements? The state has had 10 years to assess the effects of this state law. If it's great, why not confirm the fact?
And if it's not, maybe Michigan citizens can have a discussion about letting local communities decide for themselves.

Skip to comments.WETA May Fill Classical Music Gap Left by WGMS
Posted on 12/18/2006 9:45:23 AM PST by sitetest
Bach might be back on Washington's airwaves, even if the region's only classical music station, WGMS, drops the format.
Public broadcaster WETA (90.9 FM) is considering dumping its news-and-talk programming and returning to being a classical broadcaster if the music dies on WGMS, WETA's management said yesterday.
In a special meeting Thursday, WETA's board voted to give station executives the green light to consider switching back to classical if WGMS drops the format. Dan DeVany, WETA's vice president and general manager, said the station "could move very quickly" back to classical if circumstances warrant.

Classical Music Ping List ping!
If you want on or off this list, let me know via FR e-mail.
Pinging to other folks who showed interest in this topic.
WGMS -- Classical Music for People who Hate Classical Music. Hopefully WETA will be better.
It's just plain economics. Classical music does not make money. People don't listen to classical music -- and thus, advertisers do not wish to advertise on classical channels. Any station that plays classical is basically doing charity or losing money.
Boston nearly lost classical music when Greater Media bought WCRB 102.5, a longtime classical outlet. Due to FCC ownership
rules, they had to sell one of their FM stations so they
chose WKLB 99.5; new owner of THAT station, Nassau, decided
to take the WCRB classical format and call letters there
(Greater Media moved WKLB's country to 102.5)
Now the growing country listenership of WKLB has a signal
closer to downtown Boston--and classical fans have a signal
further away.
WCRB ended its classical run by airing "Rodeo" by
Copland (the one featured in the "Beef: It's What's For
Dinner" ads) then shifted to 99.5 with "Hallelujah
Chorus". WKLB ended its country on 99.5 with a country
version of the national anthem and debuted on 102.5
with Rascal Flats' "Life is a Highway" from the movie CARS.
The flip:
each 2-3 minutes long.

Pinging to other folks who showed interest in the last thread on this topic.
All these years I have been on FR and I didn't even know there was a classical music ping list. I'll be darned.
Here in Chicago, the CSO sells out all the time as do local smaller orchestras.
Dear HarmlessLovableFuzzball,
Classical music does pretty well in Washington, DC. By all accounts, WGMS is a solid, stable, highly-profitable part of Bonneville's radio empire, with nearly $10 million per year in advertising revenues.
However, Mr. Snyder needs the signal more than Bonneville needs the WGMS profit, as his Washington-region ESPN broadcasting franchise is in jeopardy if he doesn't score a station with a decent signal. Thus, he offered Bonneville a 50% premium over the appraised value of the station.
Tough to walk away from that much cash, even if you're making money in the present.
Not true. Even though the programming is terrible, WGMS is the 7th most listened-to station in the Washington DC media market. Its listeners are the most educated and most affluent of any commercial radio station in the area, which means it takes in a heck of a lot of advertising revenue. It is a very profitable station -- Dan Snyder just thinks he can make more money promoting his Redskins.
I hope it works out that they return classical music to WETA. They should know they can't compete with WMAL when it comes to talk radio!
It will be a good thing if the last radio station takes classical music off the air. Classical music on the radio, interrupted by a "classical DJ" and/or advertisements is nothing but savagery. Recorded classical music is only meant be heard uninterrupted in one's living room in complete darkness, and only on 6 channel surround DVD-audio or Telearc SACDs.
Who needs Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, when we have such timeless geniuses as Britney Spears, Christina Agulara, Snoop Doggy Dogg, 2 Live Crew...
LOL! I'm such a savage!!
...and Jerry Williams
(here reading A Child's Christmas in Wales)
Who needs Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, when we have such timeless geniuses as Britney Spears, Christina Agulara, Snoop Doggy Dogg, 2 Live Crew...
You forgot Paris HIlton. *snicker*
I don't like classical radio, and WGMS is worse than most stations (Classical Lite? Ugh), but I couldn't disagree with you more. Some people are turned onto classical music by listening to it informally on the radio -- how else are you going to convince people to go to the symphony or buy the complete Ring Cycle on CD if they haven't been exposed at least somewhat to classical msuic?
thanks-- I guess it's been about 10 yrs. since WETA went to the alltalk format, right?
Dear gusopol3,
Actually, I think it was 2005.
Or maybe early 2006.
Playoff?? What's that??
WETA's a "public" station, so profitability matters not.
I agree - most people aren't raised with it any more. When I was a child, we'd come back from church and Dad would stack up a pile of records on the turntable, and all during dinner I was informally quizzed - "What piece is that? Who wrote it? How do you know it's Beethoven and not Bach - what are the differences?" etc. I imagine most parents don't do that these days - if, in fact, most parents ever did.
I like classical music, but I only listen to the radio when I'm driving. And it's kind of tough to appreciate the sublime subtlety of a Beethoven symphony when maneuvering I 495. Talk radio works for driving, but not classical music.
I don't think that's their intended competition; why the two major NPR stations in the market (WETA and WAMU) should have identical programming makes no sense to me.
Dear Our man in washington,
" And it's kind of tough to appreciate the sublime subtlety of a Beethoven symphony when maneuvering I 495."
Just because I may be unable to fully appreciate it while driving doesn't mean that I don't appreciate it a great deal, anyway.
For me, listening to classical music while driving, especially if the driving is tough, can take my mind off the difficulty of the drive.
"Talk radio works for driving, but not classical music."
To each his own. I just don't enjoy talk radio.
Dear linda_22003,
Although I'm not fanatical about that, we do that at home.
It's fun to do it from time to time, but it gets old (at least it does to the guys) if we try to do it on a regular basis.
As well, sometimes I like to play two different recordings of the same piece, and ask the guys what they think are the differences.
Amen. Rush Limbaugh IS classical music. Here is a baritone who delivers aria after aria with great mastery, precision and skill, and humor to boot. It's a three hour opera buffa with only actor, one singer. Once in a while extras like Dick Cheney and W enter the stage briefly, but thats it.
90.9 would be just fine, providing its all classical and I dont have to listen to NPR propaganda, too. .
I'm strictly a daytime listener, since I don't live in the immediate area--is that why I'm confused--aren't they 90.1?
CFMX in Toronto is doing quite well thank you very much. The audience may not be large but advertisers love the demographic- average age that is underserved by other non-talk radio formats, well-educated and high disposable income.
Dear gusopol3,
The answer to our question is actually deep in the article:
"WETA and WGMS were rival classical stations for 35 years, but WETA abandoned the format in March 2005 for news supplied by National Public Radio and the British Broadcasting Corp."
I haven't listened to WETA in a verrryy long time, so I can only report what I read.
Disagree. I have no problem with things being interrupted--back in the day, they would often play only partial movements at performances or do encores of a movement right after it was played. Plus radio exposes folks to new works they might not otherwise hear. I had a classical show in college that was weird, with many skits in between pieces. It became a cult hit.
The problem with classical music nowadays is that too many listeners treat it as a museum piece or as something so serious it cannot be enjoyed, only appreciated. The best classical has elements of frivolity mixed in with the soul-stirring grandeur.
My parents made fun of me for listening to classical (started when in high school).
Curious that you should specify I-495 -- where, on a drive home, I had a bizarre/sublime "WCRB moment":
Somewhere on I-495 between Taunton and Wrentham (not too far from Great Woods) I was tooling along, listening to Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in D Minor on WCRB.
As I often do, I was steering with my left hand, and "conducting" with my right.
Suddenly, I heard a Beemer zoom up on my left and smoothly brake to match my speed. When I looked over, there was a lovely young lady, playing her "air violin" -- in perfect sync with the music on CRB -- and with my 'conducting'. We "jammed" together for for several seconds, then she flashed me a beautiful smile and bowed; then her driver put his foot down and left me in the dust...
That was a moment of pure "drivetime magic" -- on I-495 -- courtesy of WCRB!
True. It's also hard to condense a classical piece into a 20 sec sound bite for promotional purposes. And the lack of scantily clad women in classical music videos don't help either. (Now if a stark naked woman were to be shown playing Chopin's Minute Waltz on the piano, many would look (and listen) more closely into classical)
Some modern day musicians have borrowed themes from works by Pachelbel and Bach, and I'm sure others. These songs enjoyed some popularity. Plus folks do enjoy music from films such as Lord of the Rings. I think all that is required for the majority of people to embrace classical is to be exposed to it and taught that it's not snobby to enjoy it.
Haydn would be a great bridge for the uninitiated. Not only is he the Man, but his is the perfect blend of drama and light-heartedness.
I think you guys are each talking about a diff. I-495,
one in MA and one in the DC area (the beltway, right?)
Same route number but they don't connect with each other
of course! :)
I lived in Arlington 1969 -1971 and listened to WGMS. I remember you could get a Beethoven poster on his birthday if you knocked on the door of their celler studios and intoned the words, "Loodvig sent me" Their style was much better than Milwaukee's snooty WFMR.
Haydn's the MAN. There would be no Mozart without a Haydn or at least the Mozart we know, and definitely no Beethoven without a Mozart or Haydn. I never tire of listening to his later symphonies ( 80s and above). They are just so charming.
WETA is 90.9; 90.1 in the Washington area is C-SPAN radio. I listen to Washington Journal on my morning drive, and arrive at the office gnashing my teeth or laughing hysterically, depending on the topic and the callers.
Agree wholeheartedly. He was the first of my pantheon and still is there. His symphonies, his string quartets, and his oratorios rule. One of my greatest, probably the greatest, concerts I have been to is a performance of Die Schöpfung while I lived in Vienna (for study abroad).
There are still so many works of his I have yet to experience (dude was prolific as all get-out, as you well know).

Sunshine and raindrops,
Wet feet stop before constellations of white Queen Ann's lace.
Pink clover sparkles with diamonds.
Moving through wet grass,
Taste purple blackberries, juice embracing seeds,
And feel the rain like tears,
While nearby crickets chirp.
Moving to the small, moist garden,
Where flaming red gladiolas compete with corn for attention,
But begin to bend before the breeze and gentle rain.
The corn stalks remain sturdy, tassels like crowns or like the helmets of samurai,
Leaves like strong arms,
And the invisible golden kernels like fat sheathed swords at the hips.
The corn is backed by tomatoes and flanked by pale green cabbage lotuses.
Beyond, the apple tree beckons
With smooth ripe fruit for the birds
And for anyone else who will pick and taste the firm flesh just beneath the tight skin.
Just now, a red-green apple falls by itself,
Startling a robin in the grass, which flies away.
Sitting beside gold and maroon marigolds,
Feel the breeze and buzz of insects.
The rain has stopped now
And an ant is crawling across my foot.
Lifting the gaze, I see the birch trees shudder and glisten like water in the wind.
Photo: Carol Pyles
Everything shines.
Even the driveway pebbles glisten while crunching under foot.
Laughter echoes throughout the dining tent.
The flags and prayer flags flap and whip in the wind.
Above the blue outhouses,
See the mountains, the strip of blue Northumberland Strait, and the vast sky
In which swallows dart and glide, dart and glide.
Their golden breastplates flash in the afternoon sun,
And seem to announce someone's arrival on pure white cumulus clouds.
This is the king's view indeed.
Now the conch blows faithfully three times.
Smell the burning juniper and feel the lhasang smoke on the face.
Hear the clatter of hooves on the boardwalk,
As gentle warriors proceed toward the pavilion palace.

UPDATED: Norway's YMCA Boycotts Israel, Jewish NGO Objects
Late last month the Norwegian branch of the YMCA, the Young Men's Christian Association, aligned itself with the economic warfare movement known as the Boycott of, Divestment from and Sanctions against the only Jewish State, Israel. This salvo goes beyond the Peter Beinart version of BDS, and calls for an economic boycott of all goods and services from all of Israel, including the areas within the 1949 Armistice Line.
The Norwegian branch of the YMCA, which in Norwegian is abbreviated, "KFUK-KFUM," is one of the largest and oldest youth groups in that country.
The KFUK-KFUM announced on its Facebook page that it "encourages broad economic boycott of goods and services from Israel and Israeli settlements to pressure the Israeli government to follow up on U.N. resolutions and end the illegal occupation of Palestine."
The Simon Wiesenthal Center responded to KFUK-KFUM's boycott by dashing off a letter to the Secretary General of the Geneva-based World Alliance of YMCAs, urging the parent body to denounce the Norwegian branch's action.
"This proposed boycott of the only democratic state in the Middle East is totally opposite of the principles expressed in the World Alliance of YMCA's Mission Statement of "fostering dialogue and partnership between people of different faiths and ideologies and recognizing the cultural identities of people," wrote the Weisenthal Center's associate dean Rabbi Abraham Cooper.
Ironically, as the SWC noted, the boycott action targets all citizens of Israel, Jews, Christians and Muslims. Cooper pointed out that the activities endorsed by the BDS movement "don't improve the life of a single Palestinian." Instead, its "sole goal is to demonize and isolate the lone democracy in the Middle East, the Jewish State of Israel."
Cooper's letter called the Norwegian YMCA's boycott action an "unjust, one-sided, anti-peace policy."
"It is outrageous that any branch of a respected organization which prides itself on inclusion and tolerance would embrace the anti-Semitic poison of the radical anti-Israel BDS campaign," he noted.
UPDATE MARCH 14, 2014: We received news from a European reader that the Oslo chapter of Norway's YMCA – the largest chapter in the country – is not a part of the Norwegian YMCA boycott. This chapter stated on its website that it neither "stands behind or support the campaign," and that it was "not informed of the campaign before it was launched."Lori Lowenthal Marcus

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 1, 2013.
A massively multiplayer strategy game strongly influenced by classics like Incubation, XCOM, Jagged Alliance and Fallout.
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 1, 2013.
Use this space to cheer the creator along, ask questions, and talk to your fellow backers. Please remember to be respectful and considerate. Thanks!
Hey Thomas,
the project is still being worked on but since we have to face the fact that our Kickstarter Campaign failed we're working with a very reduced work force until we can hopefully find another source of funding.
Why has this project apparently been given up?
Congratulations for getting "Iron Dawn" into the news section of Gamestar magazine :)
Looks very promising. Couldnt resist
Thanks for the great feedback! We're putting a lot of effort into this game and it's nice to see that you like it. :)
K, never mind with the early bird tier. I just didn't read carefully ^_^
The gameplay video is fantastic.
I'm really excited about this game!!
Btw. I found it a bit strange that the early bird tiers are not limited. Or did i miss something?
Anyway, good luck with the KS campaign! This game looks like it is going to be really, really fun.

In the rare event gov agencies exercise frugality Two things should happen: 1) dispense with unneeded costs- ETD is hardly unneeded but the contrary- mandated at least for air-cargo. 2) reduce expense while still functioning properly. Isn't the 220 the most cost effective avenue to cover needs? I think the sa article missed these points when claiming DC's budget theatrics could delay contracts for imsc- they might do the opposite- make contracts more likely.
divalebbu. The 220 may be cheaper over time, but until it's deemed the current technology isn't sufficient to meet current needs, the upfront cost of replacing everything with a 220 isn't necessarily a cheaper option. To replace an adequate car currently worth $5,000 getting 25mpg with a $30,000 car getting 35mpg, doesn't usually make economic sense. But the TSA may not be looking to save money in all areas of the business and they may deem the quicker clear down as a needed benefit, where economics aren't as important. It's my guess they will add and replace at the same time. But for sake of argument and since budget concerns are at the forefront, If they go the economic route, they'd probably add B220s where new ETDs are needed but keep existing ETD devices that are still functional.. then replace old with new as their serviceable lifetime is deemed complete...which may be when they fall off the TSA approved list.
Yes you are right Divalebbu. In budget conscience times they look for the product that gives the most bang for their buck to solve the problem. This is how new technology comes to the arena. You see it with the drone technology now. Several years ago it was unheard of . When the budget was cut and limited amouts were available for bomber technology, the drone technology took off. Same with the robot technology. Both these saved a lot of money and saved lives lost.
To give you an example, our ETD technology came be purchased in the realm of 60K and less. The EDS technology runs in the range of 150K to 200K . Now if your budget is cut , which purchase would you delay the 60K purchase or the 150 to 200K purchase and which one would you sign on to? Stands to reason in these times our technology will take off and soar above the other alternatives.
There has been no budget produced in how many years now .....yet spending did not come to a virtual halt. This is a cutback in the amount of money spent by every agency not a call to action to stop protecting the nation . Looking back on this time in the future, I believe we will be able to point to this crisis as the catapault of our technology to its prominence.
Keep the faith and keep accumulating.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Diva-Posi---right now the passenger ETD layer uses competitor's swab units...and cargo2passenger rolls on the passenger baggage conveyor for X-ray.
ETD for passenger is used for randomly selected passengers AND for X-ray / pat down objectors.
The current ETD gear is NOT state of the art or current standard. We are. But our suggested product is the 220, a swab expendible cost too. But it finds more, is easier to use, can thru put more, has no nuke material so its much more efficient in terms of finding trace/minute.
TSA has stated they will replace/replenish/update the ETD layer...that means IMSC, IMO.
We need a conveyor product. We need a portal product. A new-multi-mode portal that performed like a champ would be greatly embraced but the key word is CHAMP...the old portals were warehoused so it would really take a huge performance leap for TSA to go there again, IMO.
I firmly believe that TSA uses IMSC 220's before July 1st. That's a S-WAG...but Glenn believes sometime in 2013...so its not that much of an S-WAG.

Opportunities to Increase Corporate Access to Clean EnergyFriday, August 12th, 2016
Advanced energy sources that use little or no fuel, such as wind, solar, hydropower, fuel cells, and energy storage create opportunities for corporations to capture savings and hedge against energy price volatility. The price of advanced energy sources has decreased dramatically during the past decade, and companies are increasingly seeking to purchase power from these resources in order to increase competitiveness and achieve corporate responsibility targets. A growing number of corporations have set formal goals for purchasing renewable energy, which they are integrating into their operations and decision making.View this complete post...

One of which is the fact that they produce greenhouse gasses that are undermining the viability of our climate and therefore our future of industrial society…The other drawback of fossil fuels is that fact that these are depleting, non-renewable resources…So one way or another we will be moving away from fossil fuels as time goes on, it's just a question of whether we do it in a planned and organized way, or just wait until we can no longer afford to extract the stuff that's left."View this complete post...
Why Goods Movement Matters: Strategies for Moving Goods in Metropolitan AreasMonday, August 1st, 2016
The efficient delivery of products is critical to the satisfaction of the customer, the success of individual businesses and the urban and global economies. Yet in order to reach the final destination, goods distributors face significant challenges across urban and metropolitan environments: congested city streets, regional highways and rail networks, and bottlenecked ports and airports. The distribution of goods also contributes to this congestion, increasing emissions and noise on the streets. In the U.S., trucks account of 18% of the cost of congestion although they only represent 7% of urban travel.View this complete post...
