With wind power filling the energy gap left by shutdown nuclear reactors in the UK, and police investigating allegations of sabotage at a reactor in Belgium, the myth of "reliable" nuclear energy is being exposed like never before.
The nuclear industry tells us that nuclear power is a reliable energy source, that it offers "energy security". Tell that to Belgium and the UK who are seeing significant parts of their nuclear fleet shutdown.
It's been confirmed that the major damage that shut down Belgium's Doel 4 reactor was caused by sabotage. Meanwhile, cracks found in two other reactors – Tihange 2 and Doel 3 - means they may never reopen. The three reactors make up over half of the country's nuclear power output.
(Worryingly, there are 22 other reactors around the world that share the same design as Tihange 2 and Doel 3.)
In the UK, four nuclear reactors – at Heysham and Hartlepool – are out of action while defects are investigated.
There have previously been issues with nuclear power plants being closed in EU and USA at times of drought because of water shortages.
What fills the energy gap while these "reliable" nuclear reactors are shut down?
Belgium is having to rely on electricity from its neighbours. So much for nuclear power giving the country energy security.
In the UK, things are much more optimistic. Renewable energy has come to the rescue. "Demand is low at this time of year, and a lot of wind power is being generated right now," said the UK's National Grid. Electricity supplies have been unaffected.
What lessons can we learn here?
Firstly, the idea that nuclear power is a reliable energy source that offers energy security is a myth, particularly in a world where aging nuclear reactors are coming to the end of their lives.
Secondly, we see a reversal of the view that renewables need to be supported by nuclear power. Although nuclear and wind power do not have the same generation characteristics, nuclear reactors now needing to lean on renewables means the nuclear industry has a big problem.
More and more nuclear reactors will be closing in the coming years as they reach retirement age. The nuclear industry simply can't build replacement reactors quickly or cheaply enough to fill the gap.
That's a gap that renewables and energy efficiency can exploit safely and reliably. As the recently released 2014 World Nuclear Industry Status Report says…
[B]ig thermal plants running whenever they're available are replaced by cheaper-to-run portfolios of renewables, mostly variable renewables, that add up to "virtual baseload" supply—collectively providing reliable electricity from a shifting mix of resources. This way of operating the grid is analogous to a symphony orchestra (as Rocky Mountain Institute's Clay Stranger puts it): no instrument plays all the time, but with a good score and conductor, beautiful music is continuously produced. This approach is unfamiliar to traditional utilities, but it works.
The wind across the UK is playing some beautiful music right now.
Here we have yet more reasons to abandon nuclear power. It's not reliable and does not guarantee energy security. It's not your friend and is going to let you down sooner or later.

And yet, when Greenpeace associates want reliable transport with which to explore the Arctic ocean's thinning ice without burning bunker fuel, they turn to nuclear energy.
Kharecha and Hansen find nuclear energy to have saved a grand total of 1.84 million human lives. They do not look at the loss of fossil fuel tax revenue this entailed -- although the last day of Hansen's employment with NASA was the day before publication -- but it has to be several million dollars per life.
Any energy source that, through lack of an Off switch, can destroy the power plant that harnesses it can, as it does so, kill people. Usually it won't, as we saw at Three Mile Island and Fukushima, but wind turbines have had multiple fatal accidents of this kind in recent years.
So when McKeating speaks of wind energy filling -- happening to fill -- a supply gap *safely*, the only point of view from which this could conceivably be true is that of a Greenpeace supporter whose financial mainstay is government, who wants that *money* kept safe.

@not_a_fan_of_Greenpeace - Greenpeace's books are actually open and you can download the accountant checked annual reports from the website of every national or regional Greenpeace office as well as from Greenpeace International. Greenpeace is financed for over 90% by individual donations from around 3 Million people, for the rest a few percent by independent private foundations and sales of merchandise and such. Greenpeace does not accept money from states, governments or corporations. With that, Greenpeace can set its goals and priorities fully independently.

It's funny when "renewables" fans turn the nuclear proponent's arguments against them, but it's not fooling anyone. Solar and wind are the unobtainium in this era, not fission. Fission has been handing solar and wind their hats for over 60 years.
If you have to dig so low as to use the "nuclear waste" argument, you are either truly uninformed or you are just another spreader of misinformation. With "Greenpeace" associate with your name, I am betting on both.
Spent fuel is not waste. It's a goldmine of potential power.

The ironic thing is that everybody reading this blog entry is doing so without thanks to wind or solar power; neither wind nor solar can provide the baseload power for internet datacenters, even with the best battery system in the world. Hopefully the data center serving this blog which you are now reading is powered by nuclear: it would break my heart knowing that the servers Greenpeace uses are burning fossil fuels and contributing to climate change.
Remember that Greenpeace supporters, as you leave this site and continue surfing: the more you use the internet, the more you prove that wind and solar can't provide for realistic needs and highly developed countries.
By the way, wind and solar can't provide for developing countries' needs either. You know what they want? Air conditioning and hygienic food refrigeration. Solar and wind won't give them these luxuries. Nuclear can.

Dear エイド, thanks for your contribution to the discussion.
If you want to know how high-penetration renewable systems can deliver a stable electricity grid in the developed world, you can look at: http://www.greenpeace.de/files/publications/201402-power-grid-report.pdf
Here it is worked out for Europe - a continent that has a very complex electricity demand structure. Also China, Japan, India or Brasil can develop such a functioning 100% renewable system.
Nuclear most certainly cannot provide in any reasonable timeframe access for poor people to refrigeration, lighting, charging of mobile telephones and mobile telephone infrastructure and other basic needs. For that you would need the construction of many nuclear reactors (10+ years for each) and the roll-out of huge high-voltage electricity transport systems. What does work is bottom-up development: provide villages now with wind, solar, biogas and in places low-temp geothermal for these basic needs, start interconnecting them and continue from there to build the smart grid of the future, delivering affordable and reliable electricity where it is needed - and 100% renewable. We are doing that in India, but also in Kenya, Uganda, the Philipines and many other places you can see that this works *now*. And not in 20 or 30 years from now.

It depends on how big they want to go in their development. I have a sneaking suspicion they will leapfrog over the slow pace at which the rest of humanity "developed." Which means that, depending on the area you are talking about, nuclear IS the only viable solution.

"You" are not building the "smart grid of the future" by supplying off grid houses with photovoltaic or micro wind turbine charged lead batteries to enable mobile phone charging and lighting in rural parts of poor countries.

No, they don't. On a windstill winter evening, when demand is highest, sun and wind supply next to zero of the demand. They need a hundred percent back-up - ever wondered why big gas are such fan-boys of "renewables"?
Greenpeace are sellers of "renewable" electricity (certificate produced in Norway's hydro!) as a business model, at least Germany, so they should declare their business interest when making above claims.

@PeterW - For how Greenpeace is funded, see above. We do not take money from Norwegian hydro operators. Greenpeace Energy as company is (also financially) fully independent of Greenpeace as organisation and vice versa. Greenpeace did not finance the World Status Industry Report, although we could have, because it is a sound bit of research work. It is accepted as a reliable and credible resource not only by the environmental movement, but also by the EU institutions, on academic level and even the nuclear industry.

Well, when one of the authors of this 'sound bit of research work' (whom are you kidding?) is actually another of those "Green Peace nuclear specialists" (Shaun Burnie), like you also like to characterise yourself, the funding of the 2014 issue can come from other sources, directly linked to the billion euro renewable complex, and some old dogmatic radiophobes - who seem stuck in a time warp of anti nuke protesting - and I don't mean that in a flippant way about pony-tails in grown men, but as a mindset, stuck and closed for new scientific and logic input.

In Europe, Germany and Denmark had the highest level of grid stability in 2012. They also have the highest renewable penetration. With 15.91 customer minutes lost per year, that makes for Germany 99.9997% reliable. Germany had in 2012 around 24% of its electricity coming from renewable sources. So, the reliability is a bit higher than 25%. Indeed very impressive.

Jan, that is a poor cop out. Read the publications of the German Netzagentur and stop posting such myths. Reliability has been one of the hall marks of the German electricity system. Keeping it up with more stochastic input was difficult, and a few times at breaking point. German consumers directly finance the production of 'renewables' with approx. 20 billion annually - the predictions of Green Minister Trittin had famously been it would only cost an ice-cream a month! So much for cheap renewables.
Surplus wind and solar energy, produced at random, gets dumped onto the system at throw away prices, wind gets curtailed, when it cannot get rid off and the wind-miller gets paid anyway.
Now huge transmission lines ("Stromautobahnen"- terrible connotations come to mind about ideological cul de sacs taken by Germany) are planned - wasn't there the promise of decentralised production?
The 25% renewable electricity comes at a huge price - and cannot get repeated in poorer countries. Only part of the 25% are volatile wind and solar. Part is old hydro, part is 'biogas'- turning basically food into electricity - as a feel good factor for rich Westerners. With promoting the latter, as Greenpeace and yourself are doing, the moral compass has been totally lost.
And the result: The costly Renewables are just about able to make up for the lost CO2 reduction of nuclear. France produces its electricity at a fraction of German emissions.
Denmark: same ideologically and and not economically/technically driven development, which only works at high cost and because neighbouring countries take care of the problems.

Good article - says what needs to be said. BUT:
Hasn't it been obvious for along time that commercial nuclear power is uneconomic, dangerous, and dirty indeed -from uranium mining to storing radioactive trash?
BUT - how come that the immoral nuke lobby can successfully market it to what used to be called "The Third World"?
I'm thinking that it's because everyone also knows that nuclear reactors are the essential first step to nuclear weapons.
Since Hiroshima and Nagasaki the world's wonderful great leading men have bought and also sold the idea that countries need nuclear weapons.
That message can sell nukes to Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America
Meanwhile, for the over-developed world, they can sell the astronomically financially impossible fantasies of Small Modular Reactors, (SMRs) and Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTRs)
Note that they market those omitting the word "Nuclear" - they know that this is now a dirty word with countries that have experienced nuclear power.

Nearly all of your assumptions are incorrect or flat out lies. Which is why facts always trump assumptions. (But then Greenpeace would have very few talking points left, I fear.)
Nuclear power is actually the cleanest, safest, most reliable, most efficient, most energy-dense, least polluting form of power we have ever invented. And it's always on.
While it has been a mainstay argument for the so-called "greenies" to directly associate nuclear power and nuclear weapons, those associations are incorrect. But they sure do generate loads and loads of baseless fears, thereby reinforcing the greenies' misconceptions. Kind of like that old tenet that if you tell a lie long enough, it eventually becomes "fact."
It is nearly impossible to create the fuel for a nuclear weapon in this modern era without allies and enemies knowing. So it's time to cut the cord on your lies. If you cannot muster a decent anti-nuclear power argument without lying, you need to give it up.

Dear Alasdair, Greenpeace regularly looks at the premisses of our assumptions and compares them with scientific evidence. The problem with nuclear power is that it is not functioning on a host of lines. First of all the issue of accident risk - Fukushima and Chernobyl, but also the hundreds of incidents that go largely unreported in the general media each year, have shown that risk assessment is all but a hard science. We talk about small chances with large uncertainties and excluding sometimes vital issues like certain natural catastrophes, terrorist attack, sabotage and acts of war, as well as combinations of those with human and technical failure. The impact of such accidents should furthermore definetely not be underestimated. Not in economic terms, but also not in health terms. And concerning low-level radiation effects: no, there is still no clear picture about that, but what seems to be clear is that the hypothesis that there is no safe level is still the most scientifically warranted one. People have suffered and do suffer from Mayak, Windscale, Chernobyl and Fukushima - and will suffer in the future.
Then, nuclear power delivers an unsolvable nuclear waste problem. Nowhere in the world, and that includes the US, Finland, Sweden, France, Switzerland, we are anywhere near managing that for the time it needs to be controlled. It is not wise to produce this waste if no solution is on the horizon.
Expansion of nuclear power has gone together with the expansion of nuclear weapons: India, Pakistan, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Sweden, North Korea, Iran are all examples of countries that used civil technology to develop or try to develop nuclear weapons at one time or another - and some of them now possess them.
Then, nuclear power - because of the needed safety levels - is expensive in comparison with reasonable alternatives like renewable energy and energy efficieny. Just look at the UK discussion currently, or at Finland, France, the USA or the Czech Republic.
Finally, nuclear power cannot play a meaningful role in abating climate change. The (pro-nuclear) OECD Nuclear Energy Agency calculated that if we were to quadruple nuclear capacity in 2050 - as such a technologically impossible task with 230 new reactors before 2030 and from then 57 per year... the maximum we have seen over the last 2 decades is 6 per year - greenhouse gas emission reduction less than 5% compared to business as usual. Nuclear cannot deliver, and what it delivers is too little, too late, too expensive and with too much other negative issues attached.
Greenpeace therefore continues to plead for the energy [r]evolution, which is realistic, cost saving and does abate climate change. And we continue to get barriers against that, like coal, unconventional oil and tar and nuclear, out of the way. We need to save the climate, we need to reduce nuclear risks.

Alasdair is right....You can work hard trying to muster your anti-nuclear commentary but a true examination of facts proves time and time again that you are wrong on this stance. The "waste problem" is a lie. Flat out. You should consider dropping it. It's making you look foolish.
Your economic numbers are moot. Nuclear is a decent short-term solution but a fantastic long term solution. Need I remind you, climate change is not amenable to short term solutions? Play with your toxic and embarrassingly inefficient solar panels. But dismissing nuclear is a litmus test for sheer ignorance.

Dear Jennifer Hulford,
Where I am open to any rational debate on nuclear power - always - I am not intending to get involved with people that troll. You have already been blocked because of trolling from another site that is giving facts, figures and arguments about nuclear power. When we can keep the discussion here normal and decent, we can continue. So far you have failed to give arguments and only spread slogans.
Concerning nuclear waste: the options for deep geological deposition currently under study (WIPP, Yucca Mountain [US], Gorleben [DE], Onkalo [FI], Bure [FR], SKB [SE]) are all facing problems that could well become game stoppers. There is very little done on research on any Plan B when it appears that deep geological disposal is not the holy grail that the industry claims it is. That is a genuine worry. Even when one or more of these projects are successful, we still are faced with around 200 000 tons of high-level waste for which there is nothing and that the next generations need to address. Claiming that the nuclear waste problem is solved is not just misinformation, it is a plain lie. Spent nuclear fuel is considered not a resource by most nuclear operators, because reprocessing is too polluting and uneconomic. And even those countries that do reprocess (and don't forget that real-existing reprocessing in Sellafield, La Hague and Mayak is one of the most polluting parts of the nuclear chain!), face the same unsolvable problem for their vitrified end-waste. The use of MOX from the reprocessing is causing its own problems.
Concerning proliferation: Your assumption that this can always be kept under control is standing without proof. I think much of what happened lately in North Korea and Iran is sufficient counter-proof. When civil nuclear technology indeed spreads all over the planet (as would be necessery for nuclear to be able to make the slightest relevant dent in greenhouse emissions), current control mechanisms would definitely not suffice and are bound to fail at some point. Denying the proliferation risk is similar to believing the papal ban on cross-bows in 1139 could have indeed taken them out of operation.

being similarly minded as Alasdair, I find it sad to see GP repeating the old dogmas.
Concerning the point of the article in discussion: A fluctuating power source like wind cannot replace other power plants. With a guaranteed supply of next to zero, they can substitute some fuel, but that is it. The outage of the reactors in question was timed for a low demand season, and whether wind will sometimes supply some of the electricity or not (you are aware that wind electricity production varies between next to zero to full trottle within hours) is irrelevant to supply security. What wind will do: Make sure fossil fuel in the form of gas will get a boost and permanent place. Big Gas could not have found a more willing and effective supporter than Green Peace.
As to the other dogmas:
"Risk" ….Nuclear has one of the smallest death prints of power generation methods, measured in deaths per unit electricity.
"hundreds of unreported incidents"… nuclear energy has very intense monitoring. To claim otherwise is just false. On the other hand: Each year x people fall to their death in connection with Photovoltaic, or die in explosions or gas poisoning at 'biogas'installations - they are reported, if you go to the trouble of trawling through the provincial news papers, no central register. How come?
"concerning low-level radiation effects: no, there is still no clear picture about that, but what seems to be clear is that the hypothesis that there is no safe level is still the most scientifically warranted one."..How come then that Green Peace personelle is so fond of air travel? What about having a source emitting 8000 'nuclear sparks' per second (becquerel) in your body in form of your bones? You know or should know that the linear no threshold system has its function for monitoring and safeguarding for example the person operating the low level emitting scanner etc as not to disregard the accumulative effect. You do either not understand the scientific view on the matter (for example the UNSCEAR statement concerning the usage of the LNT method) or choose to propagate propaganda.
"Nuclear waste"…You'd rather have all the nuclear material from the warheads dumped or used up in electricity generation? Nuclear material is already here and will be here and will be generated in the future (or are you opting out of nuclear medicinal treatment?) and the impossibility of its safe disposal is a red herring. In Germany W. König, Green Party member, antinuclear campaigner, is longstanding president of the state body "Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz". He is overlooking the disposal of nuclear material and is in the process of creating a final, secure waste disposal site in "Schacht Konrad"; where from around 2020 onwards all low and medium nuclear waste ever created in Germany will safely find a final storage place. Talk to him and stop spreading fear. Switching off reactors will not change the waste problem at all. It is not the amount of it that is the problem.
"Finally, nuclear power cannot play a meaningful role in abating climate change." Eminent climatologist Hansen and the IPCC beg to differ. And they are not biased like Green Peace, who are making profits via their Green Peace Energy by selling Norway hydro electricity certificates to a hyped up German public. Conflict of interest.

Dear PeterW, thank you once more for your input. It is always surprising where pro-nuclear climate sceptics can come up with.
Concerning transmutation: the jury is still out on whether transmutation can indeed deliver in tackling the nuclear waste problem in any meaningful way. Problems of basic physics, technical problems and costs are still standing well in the way. Several of my (eminent!) physics friends consider the attempts to use transmutation for tackling nuclear waste akin to the attempts to change led into gold with alchemy in the middle ages. Wrong assumptions leading to a dead end.
Producing highly toxic waste for which there is no existing solution goes against the precautionary principle when there are alternatives. One should use the alternatives until solutions do exist. There are currently no solutions on the horizon, so using the already existing alternatives simply makes sense.
Concerning renewable projects: We in India is Greenpeace India:
There are countless other similar bottom-up initiatives in Asia, Africa, Latin America, but also in Europe and North America. If anything is going to deliver electricity in the poor countryside in developing countries, it will be decentralised renewables.
I leave your rather strange remarks about the World Nuclear Industry Status Report for what they are, but I do not consider that decent discussion.
Concerning German grid reliability being one of the most stable:
Nobody said that the change in paradigm from the centralised peak-load-base-load system to a dynamic-net-system based on variable input with a high level of almost zero marginal costs was going to be easy, but given the fact that we run that already on the demand side, it is also not impossible. Germany shows it can be done. And at an affordable price.
In the Greenpeace / EREC energy [r]evolution scenarios we only include sustainable biomass, so no biogas competing with food production or based on co-firing of wood or palm oil in old coal power stations.
Concerning the costs of Germany's Energiewende - Scenario studies make clear that the long term costs of this development are lower than business as usual or nuclear pathways, and including the resulting climate change impact costs even stronger.
The ranting against renewables and efficiency in the face of what is happening on the ground just doesn't make sense. Unless one tries to save the business as usual situation...
Concerning your "dogma's", it is good to put the facts straight:
- Nobody substitutes one source with one other source - the energy [r]evolution scenario replaces business as usual energy mixes with a mix-development that phases out nuclear and fossil and phases in efficiency and a wide scala of renewable technologies. It is technically possible, cost-wise wise, environmentally and socially scoring better. And that includes security of supply and equitable development globally.
- Apart from the fact that about registration of nuclear incidents there is a lot to be said (there is for instance *no* global overview and the registration of INES incidents at the IAEA differs from country to country), the discussion of "deaths per kWh" as pushed by the nuclear industry continues to rely on studies that compare apples with pears and among others for that reason exclude reasonable estimates of the amount of victims from Chernobyl.
- Greenpeace is not exactly fond of air travel and has actively campaigned to reduce it (ever heard of the Heathrow expansion campaign?).
- Implying that the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz thinks that Schacht Konrad will be the solution to Germany's nuclear waste problems is sick. BfS is very aware of the mess that they have to clean up in Asse II and Morsleben and they are trying their best to find something to do with the waste they have in their hands. Some way of storage or deposition will need to be found. Whether that will be Schacht Konrad or something else is still open as long as Schacht Konrad is still under development. Asse II and Morsleben are sufficient warning not to sell the bear before it is shot, as we say in the Netherlands. Asse II and Morsleben are also sufficient reason to have a basic level of fear when dealing with radwaste. Not really reasons to open the floodgates for more new radwaste.
- Eminent experts that understand nuclear as well as Hansen understands climate change, as well as all large environmental organisations, do not dwell on dreams of a nuclear silver bullet but look at the cold numbers and come to the conclusions I have sketched above.
- You may have missed my clarification that Greenpeace and Greenpeace Energy eG are financially not related and that Greenpeace is in all different countries a non-profit non-governmental organisation.

text: A Burnham man is charged with breaking into the Unity Pharmacy early Sunday morning. Douglas Pagliaroli, 42, was arrested Wednesday afternoon and charged with burglary. He was taken to the Waldo County Hospital for a medical evaluation and will be taken to the Waldo County Jail. People identified Pagliaroli from surveillance photos taken inside the pharmacy. Police say the suspect reportedly used tools to cut a hole in the side of the building and filled a backpack with prescription pain pills. Troopers planned to search his home this afternoon looking for some of the drugs taken.

One player has an entire desert left in his career's hourglass, the other mere grains of sand.
Chipper Jones, the Atlanta Braves' 40-year-old third baseman, and Bryce Harper, the Washington Nationals' 19-year-old center fielder, stand at polar opposites of their career spectrums, but find themselves going toe-to-toe in this year's National League All-Star Final Vote to determine the last player to make the roster.
No offense to other candidates Michael Bourn of the Braves, David Freese of the St. Louis Cardinals and Aaron Hill of the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the vote for the NL's 34th man will likely come down to the rookie and the future Hall of Famer.
It comes down to new vs. old. Fresh vs. vintage. Entertainment value vs. nostalgia.
My vote is going to Chipper. This is his last chance to make one more memory at the Midsummer Classic. The Braves are having a solid season in the wide-open NL, but they're far from a favorite to make the playoffs. That means the All-Star Game could be Chipper's last chance to shine on a big stage.
Will Harper have another opportunity to play in the All-Star Game? That's a clown question, bro (sorry, I couldn't resist).
Even as a high schooler, Harper seemed destined to be a slugging superstar. He only has 57 major league games under his belt, but the Nationals teenage sensation is already fulfilling that destiny. Possibly the most impressive thing about Harper is his approach and professionalism.
Once known as a brash, cocky loud mouth who wore ridiculous amounts of eye black and blew kisses at opposing pitchers, Harper has done, and even said all the right things. His reaction to the Final Vote is a perfect example.
"[Jones] should have already been in the All-Star Game no matter what. He's an All-Star, and he's been an All-Star for 20 years. I think Chip should have been there and, like I said, if I had a vote, Chip's going."
Though my support is behind Larry Wayne Jones Jr., you can't lose either way. Heck, even if one of the other three guys miraculously wins the Final Vote, they're all deserving, too. The only shame is that Chipper and Harper can't be teammates (barring unforeseen injuries that result in alternates to be named).
On a slightly unrelated note, I'm only 27, but both these guys make even me feel old. I can remember collecting Chipper's rookie cards when I was a kid. That was in 1991. Being just 19, Harper was born in 1992. Both these guys, in very different ways, are physical reminders of how time flies.
The Final Vote polling closes Thursday at 4 p.m. ET, with the winners announced on MLB.com shortly thereafter. The American League candidates for the Final Vote are Jonathan Broxton from the hosting Kansas City Royals , Japanese rookie Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angles closer Ernesto Frieri, Jason Hammel of the Balimore Orioles and Comeback Player of the Year candidate Jake Peavy of the Chicago White Sox.

- Stylist:
- Wendy Sumbera
Apr 22, 2013 - I took my teenage daughter to Wendy and was very, very pleased! My daughter has always struggled with wavy/curly hair that never looked well kept. She could straighten it but that was causing a lot of damage to her hair. We were really frustrated and didn't know what to do. We went in for an appointment with Wendy and she was wonderful!! She took her time and listened to our concerns and to what my daughter was wanting. She told us about the DevaCurl products and demonstrated to my daughter how to use them. We were amazed at how easy it was and how good it made her hair look!! This was a couple of months ago and we are still amazed daily at what an improvement it has made in my daughter's hair. It emphasizes the curls and keeps her hair from being frizzy and fly away. I would recommend Wendy to everyone. She really knows how to work with curly hair.

Save the last dance for me!
I'm a Kentucky gal who just moved back after a brief stint in California. Here are a few tidbits about me... -fitness instructor and wellness consultant -dancing is my passion (ballet, hip hop, jazz...you name it, I'll do it!) -easy-going gal and can usually have a good time wherever I am -adventurous and active...I'm always up for adventures like rock climbing, trying new types of food, spur of the moment road trips, hiking -quiet, but only because I like to listen to people more than I like to talk -optimistic attitude, even through all the little bumps in the road -you'll probably never see me wear the color pink :-) I'm looking for someone who is a non-smoker and takes care of themselves. He doesn't have to work out at the gym 7 days a week or anything, but he should at least care about his health. He should be supportive of my dreams and goals, no matter how outrageous they may seem...and also have some crazy goals of his own! I'm interested in finding someone who is looking for a long-term relationship and eventually wants the whole marriage and kids thing.

You are herecontent / The Guardian: "Leaderless on the left"
The Guardian: "Leaderless on the left"
The mood in America is shifting against the Iraq war, but it has found inadequate expression in Congress
Gary Younge
Monday August 22, 2005
The Guardian
The myth of Rosa Parks is well known. The tired seamstress who boarded a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in December 1955 and refused to give up her seat to a white man has become one of the most enduring legends of the civil rights era. Her subsequent arrest started the bus boycott that launched the civil rights movement. It transformed the apartheid of America's southern states from a local idiosyncrasy to an international scandal and turned a previously unknown 26-year-old preacher, Martin Luther King, into a household name.
"She was a victim of both the forces of history and the forces of destiny," said King. "She had been tracked down by the zeitgeist - the spirit of the times." The reality was somewhat different. Parks was no victim. The zeitgeist did not track her down; she embodied it. She had a long history of anti-racist activism and had often been thrown off buses for resisting segregation. Far from being a meek lady in need of a foot massage she was a keen supporter of Malcolm X, who never fully embraced King's strategy of non-violence.
"To call Rosa Parks a poor, tired seamstress and not talk about her role as a community leader and civil rights activist as well, is to turn an organised struggle for freedom into a personal act of frustration," writes Herbert Kohl in his book She Would Not Be Moved.
The story of collective struggles is all too often filtered through the experience of an individual. In a bid to render the account more palatable and popular, the personal takes precedence over the political. As a result the story may reach a wider audience; but by the time they receive it, the agendas and the issues involved have often become distorted - to the detriment of both the individual and the movement.
The story of Cindy Sheehan, the 48-year-old woman whose son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004, is one such example. Until late last week, Sheehan was camping outside President George Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, demanding to see the president. "I want to ask him, why did my son die?" she told the Guardian. "What was this noble cause you talk about? And if the cause is so noble, when are you going to send your daughters over there and let somebody else's son come home?"
Sheehan, who has met the president once before and was not impressed, had planned to stay at what became known as Camp Casey for the whole of August but had to leave on Thursday because her mother became sick.
With the help of PR consultants she was packaged as a grieving Everymother who wanted answers. Capturing the public imagination, over the past two weeks she has been a regular feature on US cable and network news, the letters pages and newspaper editorials. In turn, she has re-energised the anti-war movement. On Wednesday, thousands of people across the country attended 1,627 vigils in solidarity with her cause.
Her popularity has made her a prime target for the right. One commentator on Rupert Murdoch's Fox channel branded her a "crackpot"; Christopher Hitchens derided her for "spouting piffle" and lambasted her protest as "dreary, sentimental nonsense". Talk-radio king Rush Limbaugh said her story "is nothing more than forged documents - there's nothing about it that's real". The backlash continued this weekend with the launch of a "You Don't Speak for Me Cindy" tour heading for Crawford with the support of rightwing talk radio hosts, to set up a pro-war camp.
The focus on Sheehan's personal loss is indeed problematic. Bereavement, in and of itself, confers neither knowledge nor insight - only a particular sensibility that might lead to both and a compelling personal narrative through which to articulate them. To define her as a mournful mother, while ignoring that she is a politically conscious, media-savvy campaigner, which she has been for quite some time, does neither her nor her cause any favours.
Indeed, those who focus on Sheehan's woes, whether they support or attack her, miss the point entirely. Had she come to Crawford at Easter, she would most likely have gone unnoticed. The reason she has struck a chord is not because of the sorrow that is personal to her but because of the frustration she shares with the rest of the country over Iraq. That is also why the right have attacked her so ferociously and so personally.
But unlike the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in his swift boat, Sheehan will not be blown off course quite so easily. The public mood in America is shifting consistently and decisively against the war and Bush's handling of it. Gallup has commissioned eight polls asking whether it was worth going to war since the beginning of the year: every time at least half have said no. For the first time, most people believe the invasion of Iraq has made the US more vulnerable to further attacks. The number of those who want all the troops withdrawn remains a minority at 33% - but that is double what it was two years ago, and still growing.
The reason Sheehan has become such a lightning rod is because that mood has found only inadequate and inconsistent expression in Congress. It has been left to her to articulate an escalating political demand that is in desperate need of political representation. This marks not only a profound dislocation between the political class and political culture but a short circuit in the democratic process. The mainstream has effectively been marginalised.
This is not particular to the US. In Britain, the view that there was a link between Iraq and the London bombings was shared by two-thirds of the population, but the handful of politicians who dared to mention it were shouted down in parliament and vilified in the press. In Germany, all the main parties support the labour market reforms that will cut welfare entitlements and reduce social protection, even though most of the population do not. But what many "centre-left" politicians regard as electoral expediency is actually becoming an electoral liability. Evidence exists that support for more radical stances is there if only they had the backbone to campaign for it.
In Germany, a new leftwing party combining ex-communists and disaffected Social Democrats is attracting 12% in polls and could yet rob the right of an outright victory next month. This month, in a congressional byelection in southern Ohio, Paul Hackett, a marine reservist who recently served in Iraq, stood for the Democrats on an anti-war platform. In a constituency where the Republicans won with 72% of the vote nine months ago, Hackett branded Bush a "chicken hawk". He won 48%, turning a safe seat into a marginal.
Sadly, such examples are all too rare. Sheehan has revealed both the strength and the weakness of the left. We have a political agenda that can command considerable mainstream support; yet we do not have a political leadership willing or able to articulate those agendas. We wield political influence; we lack legislative power.

Russ Feingold D-WI has opposed this war vocally and with his votes from the very beginning. He has just introduced a proposal to withdraw the troops from Iraq. He is the only Senator to have voted against the un patriotic Patriot Act because unlike the rest of the dummys on the hill he actually read it before he voted on it and was able to see for himself how clearly unconstitutional it was.
Remember campaign finance reform? It wasn't from his lack of trying, the cheaters just found ways around the new better rules. He just introduced legislation to stop lobbyists from buying our representatives, whom are supposed to work for us. It is our job to tell our representatives how to do what we want. Remember the constitution WE THE PEOPLE are the fourth branch of government.
BAN LOBBYISTS. It is your duty as a citizen to see this through.
I think this article correctly characterizes the response to Cindy Sheehan's efforts in Crawford as being largely due to shared frustration over Iraq. But I read the largest part of that frustration as being almost entirely apart from concerns about a "shock and awe" invasion and occupation of a country that posed no actual threat to the United States.
It appears to me that the largest part of the popular reaction is due to U.S. losses (both human and financial) without much, if any, apparent "mission progress". The slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent people, the indefinite detention and torture of others, and the lies that precipitated the so-called "pre-emptive" war seem to have little bearing on any widespread outrage.
One is led to conclude that most Americans are quite happy to support illegal and immoral uses of their military forces so long as they are successful in achieving cheaply whatever objectives are offered, even if the "justifications" are vague, constantly shifting, or, as in this case, outright deceptions. In other words, I feel quite certain that, if Bush's "mission accomplished" banner had been a factual statement, most Americans would have been quite willing to allow the PNAC plans to proceed in Iran, Syria and anywhere else.
In that context, I would draw attention to another article published by The Guardian under the title Stagger On, Weary Titan. Here's a brief extract:
If you want to know what London was like in 1905, come to Washington in 2005. Imperial gravitas and massive self-importance. That sense of being the center of the world, and of needing to know what happens in every corner of the world because you might be called on - or at least feel called upon - to intervene there. Hyperpower. Top dog. And yet, gnawing away beneath the surface, the nagging fear that your global supremacy is not half so secure as you would wish. As Joseph Chamberlain, the British colonial secretary, put it in 1902: "The weary Titan staggers under the too vast orb of his fate."
The United States is now that weary Titan. In the British case, the angst was a result of the unexpectedly protracted, bloody and costly Boer war, in which a small group of foreign insurgents defied the mightiest military the world had seen; concern about the rising economic power of Germany and the United States; and a combination of imperial overstretch with socio-economic problems at home. In the American case, it's a result of the unexpectedly protracted, bloody and costly Iraq war, in which a small group of foreign insurgents defies the mightiest military the world has seen; concern about the rising economic power of China and India; and a combination of imperial overstretch with socio-economic problems at home.
If I'm right about the nature and (lack of) profundity of U.S. popular understanding of the building of imperial power, I suspect that the future of the American Empire may turn out to be not much longer than that of the Third Reich and that Pax Americana may never actually arrive at all.

Protesters won't be pushed out of parks because of city's anti-camping ordinance
Portland Mayor Sam Adams said Thursday morning that the Occupy Portland protesters could stay in two downtown public parks as long as they 'behave.'
Adams, who left Thursday afternoon for a 10-day trade trip to Hong Kong, said city police would use discretion when dealing with the sticky issue of overnight camping in Chapman and Lownsdale squares a block from City Hall on Southwest Fourth Avenue. The city would enforce laws against alcohol and drug use in the parks, but it had decided - for now - to avoid enforcing its anti-camping ordinances, Adams said.
'We are choosing not to enforce not the city's anti-camping laws and the park closure laws on these two blocks,' Adams told about two dozen reporters in City Hall Thursday morning. 'Our anti-camping ordinance is subject to our discretion in terms of where and when we enforce it.'
At the same time, Adams said he agrees with many of the Occupy Portland/Occupy Wall Street issues, although he doesn't agree with the prolonged camping in the two parks.
'I have long held the view that there are national policies that hurt Portlanders and Oregonians,' Adams said. 'The fact that Occupy Portland and Occupy Wall Street have come along I think is great. I think it puts the focus and a spotlight on some national policy issues that need to be addressed.'
Adams talked with reporters for 26 minutes about the Occupy Portland movement that has set up a camp of between 200 and 400 people in the two small public parks. The protesters are part of a national movement that began Sept. 17 in New York City's Zuccotti Park near Wall Street. Similar groups have set up camps in more than five dozen cities across the nation, protesting, among other things, economic injustice.
Adams said he has talked by telephone with several other mayors in similar situations and had come to the conclusion that each city with an Occupy movement camp was learning 'very interesting lessons in the use of discretion.'
Portland's campers have been in the two downtown squares since a rally and march Oct. 6. They have set up a small town, with a library, medical tents, information booth, a media center and even a lost-and-found booth. Portland's KBOO radio station also has set up a broadcasting tent in the camp.
Most of the campers are young people, some with signs outside their tarp-covered tents protesting the nation's two Middle East wars, the economy and other issues.
There have been a few arrests and incidents in the parks, but for the most part Adams said the protesters were behaving well. If that changed, however, the city could change its stance on the protests, he said.
'This is a day-by-day discretion,' Adams said. 'The location matters and behavior can change day to day.'
Adams said that during the next 10 days he was out of the city, Commissioner Amanda Fritz, who is the council president, would handle some issues related to the Occupy Portland camp if Adams was unavailable.
Fritz told the campers Tuesday that their constitutional rights trumped the city's anti-camping ordinance and they could stay in the two parks. Thursday morning, however, Fritz backtracked on that comment. 'My use of the word 'trumps' was a very poor choice of words,' Fritz told reporters.
Adams said the city would know by early November the cost of overtime hours police are logging while keeping a watch on the two downtown parks. He refused to speculate on whether the costs would hurt other city programs in the tight budget.

I have been shooting my new Rami Poly at the range. I can't tell you how much fun it is to shoot. After having a PM9 this thing is a pleasure. No malfunctions at all. About 300 rds down range so far. Tommorrow hope to put another 200 and then it will be my cc.
I think that the CZ line is very underrated, I had a 75BD which I loved but had to sell because it was just to big for my small hands. I heard they are coming out with a polymer frame with adjustable back straps that I will be all over when released.
Sorry no pic's can't get the camera to work.

Catalan Modernisme: Stained Glass Ceiling at Palau de la Música
© All Rights Reserved
If you think you have seen it all regarding artnouveau stained glass windows or ceilings then you have not visited Palau de la Música, the outstanding representative of Catalan modernisme built by Lluís Domènech i Montaner in 1908. As many of you already know this is a must see when visiting Barcelona. There are guided tours so save a little time for admiring it, but don't cry if you can't make it to Barcelona, don't worry, you can go on an incredible virtual tour inside and outside Palau de la Música Catalana. Taking pictures is not allowed so I don't know how this snap got into my camera anyway. Check the full view here. Now with the show: This weekend we went to see Around the world with 80 percussion instruments (La volta al món amb 80 instruments de percussió) a percussion concert about sounds and rhythms from all over the world played with each and every instrument we can think of and some we never had seen before. Kids and grown-ups alike had a great time. Follow the link for details and tickets as it will be on till next March I guess.

Diversified Metals and Mining Giant Adopting Shareholder-Friendly Approach
Posted by: investingdaily (IP Logged)
Date: July 5, 2012 09:45AM
After a year under its new CEO, Murilo Ferreira, Vale (VALE) is focusing more on profitability than on growth.
The Brazil-based diversified metals and mining company is pursuing this strategy in response to global uncertainty, particularly the slowdown in China. Governments around the world (e.g. Australia and Peru) have been raising royalties and mining taxes. In Vale's case, there's also the added burden of litigation with the U.S. government over USD15 billion in overdue income taxes.
Until a year ago, the company was mainly investing in growth projects and merger and acquisition transactions, to take full advantage of the fast growth in commodity demand. However, it's now clear that the new management team is emphasizing profitability and disciplined capital allocation. This strategy will benefit the stock over the long term.
The company was been investing heavily in greenfield projects that are expected to produce solid returns. Its iron ore project in Carajás Serra Sul in Brazil and its Moatize coal project in Mozambique have been receiving the bulk of these investments.
The company has also been looking into divesting some of its non-core assets. Among those are coal assets in Australia, oil exploration assets in Brazil, and the company's stake in Norsk Hydro. Vale's potential sale of a stake in its general cargo logistics business also is in the cards. Vale is expected to net about USD9 billion from these transactions.
The company has been gradually adopting a more shareholder-friendly approach. Last year, Vale returned around USD12 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and buy-back programs. For 2012, the company has announced a minimum dividend payment of USD6 billion (an all-time high), which represents a high dividend yield of 6 percent at current prices.
Given the company's strong cash flows and stronger management team, investors should expect the company to start paying a dividend yield of around 5 percent, on a sustainable basis.
Slowing global growth will be offset by the continuing need of China's domestic steel producers for imported iron ore. This dividend investment's relatively low valuation offers investors a good entry point.

Queensland Investment Corporation chief executive Damien Frawley has not ruled out reviving the company's plans to establish an international resources fund this year, despite the worsening global conditions.
The Australian Financial Review revealed in September that former Macarthur Coal chief executive
Ms Hollows recently filed her report, and recommended deferring any potential investment in the resources sector for the moment.
Mr Frawley confirmed QIC would not be considering the creation of a resources fund, but would reconsider its options during the year.
The international resources sector has been hit by falling prices and lower volumes, which could make it the right time for new investors to enter the game.
But Mr Frawley, the former head of fund manager Blackrock Australia, said he had decided to refocus QIC on its core business, which includes $65 billion in funds under management (including the state's fully funded public sector superannuation liabilities) as well as extensive property, fixed interest and infrastructure assets.
He said this had more to do with him only being six months into his new role than the state of the resources sector in Australia and globally.
"We have shelved it for the moment because we have so much we need to sort out internally," Mr Frawley told the Financial Review. "That's what she [Ms Hollows] advised, that now is probably not the right time. She's done a great piece of work for us in terms of understanding the appetite for this and how we might potentially play in that space.
"But I've got a few other things we need to resolve before we get there. We are going to have another look at it early in the new year, probably March."
Some of the options QIC was considering was establishing its own investment boutique house or merging an existing business into QIC's portfolio of businesses.
Mr Frawley has admitted he is still adapting to the unique ownership structure of QIC, which has an independent board though its major shareholder is the Queensland government. He said Ms Hollows could be re-engaged to implement the resources strategy if it is given the green light.
She said in September she was optimistic about the longer-term prospects for the resources sector, despite prices coming off the boil in the past six months.
"The world is not ending. It's fair to say we're no longer in the top of the cycle but long-term demand is still there for resources around the world, given growing economies [like China and India]," she said. "It's going to be tough and it's going to be more challenging. But from an investment perspective it makes it an ideal time."
QIC has been linked with a number of new ventures, including taking control of the retail and restaurant precinct at South Bank as the South Bank Corporation is dismantled.
It has also been rumoured to be part of a $700 million office tower deal with the Queensland government, which is offloading several government-leased buildings from its $2 billion portfolio.

The first problem is still there. I took it to jiffy lube and asked specifically for the GM oil and additive. They ended up putting Pennzoil and I'm not even sure if they put additive. Does the Pennzoil work because the noise never went away.
Re: noise still coming from the back...need help.
(The original Techinical Service Bulletin on this issue (2004) actually suggested removing the limited-slip clutch packs from the differential and soaking them in the additive to cure the condition. While that is no longer recommended, it does suggest that some extra additive may required to cure the issue once it developements.)
So Just today I noticed that now its doing the noise even in neutral and going straight but its not very loud. Any ideas. now of what it could be?

Re: noise still coming from the back...need help.
I had a terrible rubbing noise coming from the rear diff. It was when the car was in gear and turning at slow speed, like when parking. It was like a grinding/rubbing noise that sounded like bad bushings or bearings. It was driving me nuts since I had recently had the diff serviced and used Royal Purple. Another mechanic I know, who has a GTO recommended Amsoil with the slip lock additive. He also told me it would take like 2 days for the noise to abate after changing the fluid. I told him straight that his suggestion sounded like so much bullshit...I mean no "fluid" could possibly make a noise like THAT go away...and whats with the 2 days??? 2 days for "oil" to make a HUGE rubbing noise go away?
Well, wouldn't ya know it. The guy was like a fortune teller. We put the Amsoil in and right away I noticed the sound started changing...it wasn't so...hair raising. Sure enough, 2 days later, the sound was completely gone. Unreal.... From oil.
sounds like you had the same exact problem that I do. I'm am going to try this and if it works than that will surely make me happy. Do you know how much oil and additive he put in your car?

Re: noise still coming from the back...need help.
To answer your question, I actually called the mechanic who cured mine, and this is what he said: "You really need the AC Delco 35/90 full synthetic with their "friction modifier". About 2 qts. of the 35/90 and 2 ounces of the friction modifier. Because the the AC Delco is hard to find or available only through the dealer, we used Amsoil 35/90 synthetic on yours with 2 ounces of the "slip lock additive."
I can tell you that it cured mine, and it was was making so much noise it was setting my teeth on edge. Again, it was so hard to believe that mere oil could have such a profound effect, but it did....I'm certainly not claiming this is your issue. I'm just relating my story, and a fluid change is a lot cheaper than wrenching on a rear end!

They accumulated 37 fights together including 27 wins. No opponent has been named as of yet.
The undercard features a great local match up of super middleweights Victor Villareal and Isaac Atencio. Villareal has the experience but Atencio has yet to lose. This one should be good for fans.
