Yarnovations designs innovative crochet patterns for Yarnivore's. We have quirky and fun crochet designs for the whole family.
We are the Yarn Twins, Deborah Bagley and Dana Bincer. We have been crocheting since the mid 1980's...when our grandmother taught us how to crochet. But we didn't honestly crochet much until 2010.
We gravitate to fun, whimsical, realistic type designs. Maybe they're a little quirky, too. Mostly, we want to have fun with this craft and inspire others to see how unique and enjoyable crochet can be as well.
We do charge a little for our patterns. We purposefully keep the price point low so that more people can enjoy our designs. Though the patterns are economical, the quality of our patterns is top notch. We include photos, gauge info, supply list, special stitch instructions, special notes unique to each pattern, checkboxes next to each row (so you can keep track of what row you've done) and more.
All of our purchased patterns are for the buyers eyes only. But we fully grant you permission to sell or give away your finished handiwork. Please credit yarnovations.com when you share your homemade items.
We wish you many happy hours crocheting and a few pennies in your pocket (if you sell your crocheted items).
A stunning scarf project.
Video tutorial for the broomstick lace and puff stitch are included! Whether you're new to broomstick lace or just need a refresher...we've got you covered.
This pattern includes:
Cowl pattern
Scarf pattern
How-to tassel instructions
How-to video for special stitches
This pattern also includes instructions for making a cowl or infinity scarf.
These scarves whip up really fast because of the tall and delicate broomstick lace stitches.
The pattern repeats and is easy to memorize. We've listed it at intermediate because it incorporates broomstick lace. But it's really quite simple if you know how to crochet those stitches.
You're eyes may deceive you. This looks like knitting...but it's 100% crochet! You will crochet around a #17 and #50 knitting needle.
It's a lot of fun. You may want to pick up some extra yarn...cause your friends and family are sure to request this scarf!
You have permission to sell or give away your finished handiwork as long as credit is given to Yarnovations.com.

Sterling's World 2008
Bruce Sterling's State of the World: an interactive discussion on the Well with the noted sci-fi author and futurist. "The political and economic landscape in 2008 is full of spinning, tottering Chinese plates poised on tall pool-cues." [An MP3 of his State of the World 2006 from SXSW was previously linked here.]
Thom Gunn
One of the finest poets in English, Thom Gunn, has died. Along with Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, Gunn became famous as a young poet in England in the 1950s as part of "The Movement," writing fine poems in rhyme and meter. But then he fell in love with an American soldier, Mike Kitay, and followed him to San Francisco, where he crafted one of the most daringly original voices in the 20th century, handling taboo subjects like LSD, orgiastic sex, and his 50-year relationship with Kitay with the precision of a diamond cutter. Gunn lived in my neighborhood, and was a dapper, subtle, sexy and hilariously witty man until the end. Ten years ago, when I asked him what music he was listening to he replied, "Oh, Nirvana and Social Distortion. I'm a flighty teenager that way."

Video: Geico Skytypers cruise over Lake Michigan before Milwaukee Air & Water Show
I had never truly appreciated Milwaukee's lakefront until I sailed over it at 1,200 feet aboard the Geico Skytyper SNJ2 -- an aircraft used in the 1940s to train World War II soldiers for single seat Mustang fighters.
The ride lent itself to an up-close-and-personal view of the city. The pilot flew with the cockpit open at 135 mph. And while the aircraft welcomed its share of jostles, shakes and full-body thrusts while cruising over Lake Michgian, the unforgettable airborn performance stirred up ample excitement for the fleet's debut at the Milwaukee Air & Water Show this weekend. »Read Full Blog Post

Skip to comments.Massive FLorida FReep Needed To Protect Dead Soldier's Family From Freaks During His Funeral
Posted on 06/29/2005 4:07:34 PM PDT by MindBender26
click here to read article
UPDATE! The service starts at 11:00 am and is open to the public. 3901 Park St. St Pete. He will be put to rest at Pay Pines following the service at the church.
See you all there
God bless him, His family, and america!
I just don't want "ugly" to occur at a funeral for one of our troops. I would like the stopped before they get there.
I'll be there.I'm in Tampa.Red C-1500 PU w/"American Eagle" front plate.Stop by and say hi.Don't let looks deceive you,i'm really a nice guy:)Formerly Thombo
If comments they make on the Senate floor are being reprinted in Al Jazeera in order to embolden the jihadists, that is the very definition of sedition.
Here's a link to the real deal on this sicko:
That's a very slippery slope. The folks who criticized the military actions in Somalia and Serbia could have face the same charge. However you see the distinction, do you trust the courts to see it?
If comments they make on the Senate floor are being reprinted in Al Jazeera in order to embolden the jihadists, that is the very definition of sedition.
That's the one group of folks you definitely can't go after. Members of Congress can't be prosecuted for anything they say while on the jub onder the speechas and debates clause of the Constitution.
Love it.
God loves you, but I
want am going to kick your @$$.
More like "Bleed from their chests"
I'm fine with that.
"I'm not calling for locking up war protesters; they have that right."
They have a right to *speak* against the war.
In my view, that right does not extend to actions that inconvenience, distress, or endanger others. They have a right to speak, but they don't have a right to try and force others to listen.
Maybe that's a good thing, had they picketed with "God is punishing America with new age euthanasia" or some such thing, they would have (gasp, youknowwhoforbid) helped the anti euthanasia cause. No they just want to be a colossal bloody nuisance that, if they can help it, helps nothing. Just like Satan does.
Maybe that's a BAD thing..
these puppies are no angels themselves
You got that right. The ADL is a very scary organization, and I would tend to disbelieve anything they wrote.
Make your case against the ADL and I'll debate you about it.
I don't think their vices even rise to the level of debatability. Whatever nobility their first vision had, they are now going to the same hell in the same handbasket as the Southern Poverty Law Center is. When a group comes out in favor of "gay rights" (in the sense of governmentally enforced privileges) they have certifiedly gone off the deep end. Dr. Martin Luther King would be ashamed.
Phelps and his Pukeyview 'Baptist' Church have a deservedly vile reputation. In pegging them, the ADL proves that even a stopped clock is right twice a day. But "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is not a motto to trust here.
heheh :)
The protest has been canceled
Planned funeral protest
apparently canceled
Friday, July 1, 2005
A radical
had planned
to disrupt a
funeral on
the Fourth
of July.
The Rev. Fred Phelps, pastor of Westboro Baptist
Church in Kansas, and some followers planned to
be at the funeral of Sgt. James Stewart, who died
last week in Iraq. Stewart spent most of his
boyhood in St. Petersburg and his mother still lives
Phelps and his followers believe that the deaths of
American soldiers is God's retribution for society's
acceptance of gay Americans. They have been
travelling the country for several weeks, conducting
protests at soldier's funerals.
The minister's
plan outraged
many, including
some local radio
DJs. Those DJs
say they've found a way to keep the protestors
The DJs on the Big Boys morning show on 98
Rock saw the Bay News 9 story, and they called a
spokesperson for the protestors, Shirley Phelps.
Puddin' and
Phatty, as the DJs
are known, cut a
deal -- air time
for a family's
"We were talking on the air," Phatty said. "And I
said 'What can we do to have you not come to our
city to not do this, to let the family mourn in peace.'
"She wanted a platform," Puddin' said.
"She wanted airtime without us yelling back at her,"
Phatty said.
"I tell you how I would come down," Phelps
answered. "Let me answer the question. I won't
come down if you allow me to speak without being
So for 45 minutes the DJs asked Phelps questions,
and did not interrupt her answers.
By the end of the show, Phelps said the protest
was off. They would not come to St. Petersburg.
Stewart's funeral, to be held Monday at Park
Street Baptist Church at 11 a.m., is open to the
thats good to hear...
although I dont know how happen I am that these whackos got to have the radio airwaves for 45 minutes, but I am sure they were throughly ripped by just about everyone listening...
[[The protest has been canceled]]
That's great because this group of thugs would not have liked what would have been waiting for them.
The Kansas extremists imo would have made things worse for those praying and talking to the media. The police would have loved to take everyone away in a paddy wagon for Auschwitz Woodside.
Oh, I mean they would have actually stirred up some colorful public commentary had they did their "America is heading to hell" thing at a Terri vigil. Kind of like a peacock in a flock of sparrows.
Their god to which they grovel is Publicity.
yep pretty much....
Just got back from the funeral.Big turnout.Church pkng lot was full as was the Walgreens next door.Police and media were there also,but kept their distance.Very quiet+orderly.No hassles.About a dozen or so of us stayed outside to keep an eye out.A member of LoneBikers(not 100% sure about name)was handing out yellow ribbons for mourners to wear.We ran out to Bay Pines Cemetary ahead of the funeral,and again no protestors.
there is a large divide between name calling and pure ignorance, go jump off of it.
thank you to those dj's. I'm sure the family thanks you as well.
My guess is that the organizers could not afford the bus ticket from Kansas, and could not find anyone from Florida who would pick up the torch.
God bless you and your friends for going to the funeral and keeping an eye out. It was a very kind thing to do for the family of this American hero.
Thank you all so very much.
God bless America.
Give him an attitude adjustment with a baseball bat.
Frankly, these folks sound utterly deranged.
My two cents is that anyone who choses to defy these folks be prepared for trouble. Unless you are willinng to stand your ground, and look into the whites of their eyes, you have no business being down there.
Hi race, how are you? Hope you enjoyed the 4th.
Got nice and sunburned at Misquamicut
Can I ask what happened on this?? I wondered if the jerk showed up or not.
Frankly, I was not aware that they had taken that support position on gay rights, but for purposes of our interchange I'll accept that assertion.Though I'm vehemently against that (gay rights support) I still won't lamblast them (the ADL) on an issue in which they DO take the HIGH ground. I realize that the ADL is full of those of the 'liberal' persuasion and that would account for that policy of "INCLUSION", a mainstay of the RATS "big tent" philosophy. The "big tent" idea is strictly one of a big tent of VOTERS, though the left-leaning RATS would have one believe it is the big tent full of different kinds of people. For them...It's ALL ABOUT THE VOTE TALLY!
I think we're on the same page.
Thanx for the responses.I didn't meet any Freepers outside,but lots of people in the church that i didn't see.Several of us went over to Bay Pines before the service was over.I drove around the park adjacent to the cemetary for a quick look.Large boat ramp,picnic areas,and a jogging trail.Very nice.I believe it's a part of Bay Pines(?).Bay Pines Cemetary itself is very impressive.
Great job. So glad you were there to in case anyone tried any nonsense.
Sounds like a nice place.
what kind of christians are they? i didn't know they could act like that.i guess it is the teaching they get in their churchs.
I'm glad the St. Pete protest was cancelled. This area is controversial enough as is.

Hey guys ,I was wondering if someone could help me with how to solve 1st order pde? I have a major project to complete in a couple of weeks and for that I need a thorough understanding of problem solving in topics such as absolute values, multiplying matrices and graphing equations. I can't start my project until I have a clear understanding of how to solve 1st order pde since most of the calculations involved will be directly related to it in one way or the other. I have a problem set, which if somebody could help me solve, would help me a lot.

The best way to get this done is using Algebrator . This software provides a very fast and easy to learn process of doing math problems. You will definitely start liking math once you use and see how effortless it is. I remember how I used to have a hard time with my Algebra 2 class and now with the help of Algebrator, learning is so much fun. I am sure you will get help with how to solve 1st order pde problems here.

I fully agree with that. It truly is a great software . Algebrator helped me and my peers a lot during our exam time. We went on to score more than we could ever have thought of. It explains things in a lot more detailed manner, than a teacher ever could, in a class. Moreover, you can read one solution again and again till you actually understand it, unlike in the school where the teacher has to move on due to time constraints. Go ahead and try it.

adding fractions, graphing function and point-slope were a nightmare for me until I found Algebrator, which is really the best algebra program that I have ever come across. I have used it frequently through many math classes – Pre Algebra, Remedial Algebra and Pre Algebra. Simply typing in the algebra problem and clicking on Solve, Algebrator generates step-by-step solution to the problem, and my math homework would be ready. I truly recommend the program.

They're all part of the Oconee Cultural Art Foundation's annual Southworks Festival, of course.
These artists and entertainers, along with many other artists, will gather in downtown Watkinsville from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday to participate in this big art festival.
Southworks has been an annual event in downtown Watkinsville since 1995. Planning for this one began last September, beginning with a log competition for the festival.
''A high school senior designed the T-shirt this year,'' said Marissa McAleer, executive director of OCAF. ''Signers from all over submitted their art work, and how cool is it that Sara McClain designed it?'' McAleer asked.
''Three Vases'' by Kelly Stevens of Athens is among paintings at the art exhibit.
McClain is a member of the Oconee County High School class of 2004.
Upon deciding on the logo for the T-shirts, McAleer's job got a little more complicated. She had to decide how the artists would be chosen for the contest, which involves a long application process. The tough decision went to Dr. Dianne Lesko from the Telefair Museum in Savannah, who made the final decision on the artists who would participate in the juried art exhibit.
Moreover, McAleer coordinated putting together the entertainment for the two-day festival.
''The entertainment this year is excellent. There's children's music, jazz, funk, Motown, classical; something for everyone,'' she said.
''It's been a fun process,'' McAller commented. ''OCAF's mission is to promote the arts and artists and art education in the North East Georgia region. Southworks is supporting arts, artists and education, which will be demonstrated (at Southworks). Southworks fulfills this mission.''
This year, there is an estimated 50 to 75 booths from a jury will choose winning booths.
This doll by Barbara Odil is available to see by those attending this weekends festival.
The first-place winner will receive a cash prize of $250, the second-place winner will be given $200 and the third-place winner will receive $150. Each of the top three winners will receive medallions and gold ribbons.
''There's a lot of familiar faces and there are a lot of new faces. It's a nice mix of new and old,'' McAller said.
Along with displaying their work to the public, artists will be selling their work.
Free parking is available to the public during the festival.

Baker H. Morrow, professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of N.M., will be at Page One Books at 3pm on Sunday, May 1, to talk about and sign his updated non-fiction effort, Best Plants for New Mexico Gardens and Landscapes: Keyed to Cities and Regions in New Mexico and Adjacent Areas, Revised and Expanded Edition.
The book is described as such: "First published in 1995, this invaluable guide to the trees, shrubs, ground covers, and smaller plants that thrive in New Mexico's many life zones and growing areas is now available in a long-awaited new edition. Landscape architect Baker H. Morrow considers the significant factors that impact planting in New Mexico—including soil conditions, altitude, drought, urban expansion, climate change, and ultraviolet radiation—to provide the tools for successful gardens and landscapes in the state. Added photographs and sketches identify the forms and uses of plants, including many new species that have become widely available in the region since the 1990s. The latest recommendations for specific cities and towns include more photos for ease of reference, and botanical names have also been updated. With ingenuity and efficient water management, Morrow demonstrates how to create landscapes that provide shade, color, oxygen, soil protection, windscreening and outdoor enjoyment."
Morrow, Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects, has been a principal of Morrow Reardon Wilkinson Miller, Ltd., Landscape Architects for the past 36 years. Morrow is Professor of Practice of Landscape Architecture at the University of New Mexico (since 1975), where he is the founder of the MLA program in the School of Architecture and Planning. A third-generation New Mexican, he is the author of a number of books, including Best Plants for New Mexico Gardens and Landscapes and A Dictionary of Landscape Architecture, and the co-editor of Canyon Gardens: The Ancient Pueblo Landscapes of the American Southwest. Morrow is an award-winning landscape architect, experienced at working with stakeholders on pressing issues in both English and Spanish. He and his firm have received over 90 design awards and citations since 1980. Practicing in New Mexico and the surrounding area, he has served as project manager and principal in charge for more than 3000 projects. Among Professor Morrow's award winning projects are the Journal Center, the New Mexico State Fairgrounds entries, Park Square, Dietz Farm Plaza, Children's Psychiatric Center at UNM, St. Joseph Square, the Albuquerque Academy, and Yale Boulevard in Albuquerque.
Page One Books is located at 5850 Eubank NE, Suite B-41, in Albuquerque's Mountain Run Shopping Center (southeast corner of Eubank and Juan Tabo). The Morrow event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 294-2026 or visit www.page1book.com.

"Rooms full of fifth-graders always want to know if I'm married."
Why I Came Out As A Gay Children's Book Author by Alexander London [Buzzfeed] "What happens if I tell the truth about why I'm not married? What happens if I reveal this part of myself? Does my career in children's books end? Will teachers and parents look at me askance? Ban my books? Run me out of town as some kind of creep trying to "recruit" or pushing a "gay agenda"?

Over the years, gay rodeos have become a centrally welcoming space for LGBTQ people in rural areas and an important place for people of all genders to compete in events which have been historically divided strongly along gender lines (such as bull riding and barrel racing). They've come a long way from their origins as a means of raising money for charity. But the people who participate in gay rodeos are aging and attendence is declining, raising questions about the future of gay rodeo. A new documentary shines a spotlight on this important piece of LGBTQ history.

Jerusalem Pride Mass Stabbing by Haredi Repeat Suspect
Six people have been stabbed at Jerusalem's Pride Parade following threats from both a Haredi man just released from prison for a similar knife attack at the 2005 Jersusalem Pride parade, and from Lehava, a right-wing Jewish supremacy organization that also held a protest away from the LGBTQ parade route. These knife attacks are unfortunately not the first time LGBTQ Jews have been killed by other Jews; there was a gun attack on the Tel Aviv LGBTQ youth center in 2009 (previously). [more inside]

Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African American, Latino, gay and transgender communities involved in it. Many members of the ball culture community consider Paris Is Burning to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, as well as a thoughtful exploration of race, class, and gender in America."

Rory and Paris: The Real Gilmore Girls
I am going to make you want something that you may or may not have already known that you wanted. I am going to make you realize that the real love story at the heart of Gilmore Girls took place between two tightly-wound, highly-strung, overachieving rivals-turned-roommates who wore matching ties and skirts and engaged in sexually charged fencing sessions. The mutual respect, admiration, and trust that sprang up between Rory Gilmore and Paris Gellar was hard-fought and slowly earned; theirs was a friendship forged and refined slowly over the years. They grew into the shape of one another.

Project Right Side
During his tenure as George W.

"In this country, I can marry ANYONE I WANT! Because there's CHANGE in this country now!"
However long it takes for a real victory to be certified—no matter what happens on Election Day, it will be too early to unfurl a "Mission Accomplished" banner—the once ragtag march of lovers has acquired an air of inevitability. Edith Eyde's prophecy is almost fulfilled: gays are more or less regular folk. All the same, many who came out during the Stonewall era are wondering what will be lost as the community sheds its pariah status. They are baffled by the latter-day cult of marriage and the military—emblems of Eisenhower's America that the Stonewall generation joyfully rejected. The gay world is confronting a question with which Jews, African-Americans, and other marginalized groups have long been familiar: the price of assimilation.—Love on the March by Alex Ross.

"Look, goddamn it, I'm homosexual, and most of my friends are Jewish homosexuals, and some of my best friends are black homosexuals, and I am sick and tired of reading and hearing such goddamn demeaning, degrading bullshit about me and my friends." - Merle Miller.In 1970, two years after Stonewall, Joseph Epstein wrote a cover story for Harper's Magazine, Homo/hetero: The struggle for sexual identity, that came to chilling conclusions: "I would wish homosexuality off the face of this earth." His incendiary language prompted author/journalist/writer Merle Miller to come out of the closet in the New York Times Magazine, with an angry and poignant plea for dignity, understanding and respect: "What It Means to Be a Homosexual." 40 years later, that essay helped inspire the launch of the "It Gets Better" campaign.

The "Unstoppable Gay Jew"
In 1971, "decades before any state had seriously considered legalizing gay marriage, long before anyone had thought of creating—never mind repealing—a policy called "Don't Ask Don't Tell," before Reagan, before AIDS, before the American Psychiatric Association determined that homosexuality was not a mental illness, and before half the people currently living in America were even born, a man named John Singer stepped into the King County marriage license office in Seattle."

So I don't have to worry about it anymore
The two largest groups that provide ex-gay counseling are Exodus International, a nondenominational Christian organization, and NARTH, its secular counterpart. If Exodus is the spirit of the ex-gay movement, NARTH is the brain. The organizations share many members, and Exodus parrots the developmental theories about same-sex attractions espoused by NARTH. Together with the late Charles Socarides, a psychiatrist who led the opposition to declassifying homosexuality as a mental illness, Nicolosi formed NARTH in 1992 as a 'scientific organization that offers hope to those who struggle with unwanted homosexuality.' By 1998, the group was holding an annual conference, publishing its own journal, and training hundreds of psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors. Nicolosi remains NARTH's most visible advocate.

Three years after California voters approved a ban on gay marriage in California, a Ninth Circuit court has ruled (in the appeal case of Perry v.

David Moyes to be the next Manchester United manager
The announcement of Ferguson's retirement has prompted a frenzy of money being placed on the Everton manager to succeed the 71 year-old.
And Telegraph Sport understands that Moyes, whose contract at Goodison Park expires at the end of the season, has already been identified as Ferguson's successor and will be confirmed before United's next game, on Sunday, against Swansea.
Moyes's record at Everton since arriving from Preston North End in March 2002 lacks a trophy, or experience of Champions League football beyond the qualifying rounds, but the Scot's readiness to build teams and promote youth is understood to be central to United's decision to recruit the 50 year-old.

Payroll employment by industry, October 2006
November 07, 2006
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 92,000 in October. This followed job gains of 148,000 in September and 230,000 in August (as revised).
Over the month, employment rose in professional and business services, health care, food services, and mining; manufacturing and construction lost jobs.
Professional and business services employment grew by 43,000 in October, with gains in management and technical consulting services and in business support services.
Health care employment continued to grow with a gain of 23,000 in October. Job growth occurred in nursing and residential care facilities and in hospitals.
In leisure and hospitality, food services and drinking places continued to add jobs in October.
In the goods-producing sector, mining employment grew by 5,000 in October. Over the last 12 months, mining has added 54,000 jobs.
Construction lost 26,000 jobs in October, as employment declines in residential specialty trade contractors more than offset gains in nonresidential specialty trades.

Sustainability and Six Senses Laamu
August 17, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
Six Senses Laamu wants the earth to have as good an experience at their resort as the guests do. The luxury resort is committed to reducing its ecological and carbon footprint.
Here's a few of the green initiatives at the resort:
- All villas have been designed to take advantage of passive cooling and overhanging roofs creates shade for the windows, thus reducing the need for air-conditioning. Where air-conditioning is required, only low energy units are used.
- Freshwater production works through reverse-osmosis desalination, whereby pressurised seawater is filtered via a semi-permeable membrane – an energy-intense operation. To reduce this energy consumption, an innovative energy recovery system (ERI) uses the brine's energy to pressurise seawater to the same pressure as the brine. This installation makes the desalination process much more efficient.
- Suppliers are asked to reduce packaging when delivering supplies.
- Printing paper is eco-labelled or recycled and the reverse side of printed paper is used for notes.
- Guests are given re-usable glass water bottles rather than disposable plastic bottles.
- A recycling corner where waste is separated into paper, plastic, metal, glass, organic waste, and toxic waste. A compactor reduces the space required to store the waste before it is sent for recycling and proper handling.
- A composting site takes food waste from the kitchen and restaurants composts it with garden waste. The composting soil generated from this activity is reused in our landscape and gardening.

" The only reason I am breastfeeding today is Maria! Our baby girl lost more than the recommended weight percentage after birth, as all new parents we became very concerned feedings were not going as well as we hoped. One of my good friends highly recommended Maria. We called and she came over to our house that very night. We were desperate and obviously in distress that our brand new baby will need to be put on formula in order to put weight back on.
The first appointment with Maria was the turning point for our breastfeeding experience. Our baby started putting weight on and doubled it by 6 weeks. As new parents we started to relax more and enjoy our little bundle of joy. I can really say that Maria will always be in our hearts for all her help and calm warmness she brought to us when we most needed it. Thanks to her dedication, and perseverance we continue to exclusively breastfeed our baby today. Our baby girl will be all the healthier because of it."

In defiance of a local government trespassing act and a police roadblock, some 1,000 miners, monks and members of the general public in Sagaing walked to the highest point of the Letpadaung mountain range on Friday to make merit at a Buddhist pagoda.
The march represented the latest in a series of protests against a copper mining project in the area.
"We want to create awareness that it is not only our farmlands, but also religious buildings such as monasteries, that have been seized and confiscated due to the mining project," said a farmer who participated in Friday's march.
Although police officers initially blocked the route to Shwe Myin Tin Mountain where A-Nu-Myi Kat Kyaw Pagoda is located, they relented after negotiating with the Buddhist monks who were leading the protest. Representatives from each of the 26 villages that are affected by the land seizures also participated.
"There are no more monasteries left in the area for us," said the farmer. "We only have that pagoda [ A-Nu-Myi Kat Kyaw Pagoda] on the hill where the abbot lives. We all used to go there every year to make merit, pray and place gold leaf on the pagoda, and we wanted to do the same this year."
The Letpadaung protesters said that on Friday evening they plan to light 26 fire balloons, representing the 26 affected villages, to promote their opposition to the mining project. An environment awareness concert featuring traditional Burmese songs will follow in Wat Hmae Village.
"We believe the president, the government and the persons responsible for this copper mine will take action soon," said a farming community leader from Wat Hmae. "We will continue these protests and campaigns—no matter how long it takes—until we reach our destiny."
In a recent interview with Washington-based Radio Free Asia, Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi said that the root of the problem with the Letpadaung mining project is a lack of transparency from the ruling government.
Letpadaung is situated in a watershed area nearby the confluence of two of Burma's most important rivers, the Irrawaddy and the Chindwin, around 15 miles west of Monywa. The farmers of this area began airing their complaints and demands for adequate compensation and the return of farmland on July 2.
Tensions were raised in August as more villagers joined the farmers' protests. Later it began to focus on the closure of copper mining in the area by highlighting the decimation of nearby Sabae and Kyay Sin mountains due to similar projects in the past as well as farmland polluted by waste products from the work site.
Civil society groups from as far afield as the former capital Rangoon have since become involved, actively publicizing the preservation of Letpadaung mountain range and conservation of the local ecosystem.
Copper mining in the area started in 1980 with joint ventures between former Burmese Ministry of Mining-1 and various investors, including Canada-based Ivanhoe Mines.
In 2011 the copper mining project is jointly run by the military-owned Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd. and China's Wan Bao Company and more than 7,800 acres of land from 26 surrounding villages were confiscated.
You either denounce greed and so-called development to live as you are or you sell every thing – land, rivers, forests- and live like an animal in concrete buildings and work in factories.
This is the time to choose. You cannot have both ways.
And the whole country must decide. Currently smatr people, Thein Sein and your Amay Suu have decided for you to sell out the country to the international companies of all sorts.
IMF money is loan you and your children will literally die to pay back for decades. To build roads, which are NOT for you but for the traders, foreign traders and some usual Burmese.
People Power vs UMEHL. Opposition parties had better make up their mind whose side they are on. History waits for no man or Lady.
There has to be an answer to this newly arising tension between the farmers and copper mining company over its misconducts of practices that affect livelihood of 26 villages: a challenge that will unfold the leadership ability of current government and the stability of Burma in its reform process to democracy. This is the fact that local community in LetPadaung doesn't benefit out of this mining project, but detrimental destruction of their farm lands, safety, and community life.
The leadership skill has to overrun the old practice of being bossy. A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. The government has to be a good leader, whose ears' always rang by the voices of suffering people. After all, the causes of farmers in LetPadaung area are not that much less different than that of their government to safe the nature of Burma for its sustainability and preservation for Burma younger generation to come.
The history of Burma has shown that Burmese are very resilient to oppression and coercion, but cooperative when their voices are respected to reach sensible solution to whatever problems that comes out of long term mismanagement of successive governments.
Participatory approach will surely serve common interest of Burma. Given the fact that all the existing so called national development projects are done at the cost of ordinary people in a very fearful reckless bossy manner for a half century, it is well deserved to have conciliatory discussion about the best outcome of all arising issues. Do not let patient of the resilient Burmese run out for it will surely cause Burma for another 50 years.
