Green Tara
Green Tara, in Tibetan Buddhism, is the Buddha of compassion in action. She can be envoked as proteçtor who comes to our aid to releive us and those that we care for of physical, emotional and spiritual suffering. Reciting the above mantra has the capacity to bring about transformation in the body and mind of ourselves and others.
Core Process Psychotherapy
'Our approach is nearly one hundred percent geared to the cultivation of the psychotherapist. Things are interconnected. The client's journey will be assisted by the psychotherapist's ability to be present at greater and greater depths, and subtler and subtler places. If the psychotherapist cannot do this the client wll be restricted. So the client's growth or movement will be determined by the psychotherapist's limitations.'
'The psychotherapist has to be vulnerable (but) it's the vulnerability of the warrior as opposed to the vulnerability of the vulnerable person. It is the ability to meet whatever is coming at them. it's about the capacity to hold, to take things personally and not personally at the same time.'
Maura Sills, founder of Core Process Psychotherapy and the Karuna Institute.
Autumnal beauty
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling
Strawberry Moon
Emptiness, stillness, space
In the Fire
It's only a problem if i fight what is, if i want it to be something other than what it is.
Fighting what is, is tiring.
Facing and feeling what is, is terrifying.
Being in the fire, the pain of what is, appears unbearable, engulfing.
Moving through, fully feeling what is, is the path to transformation.

Hows everybody who squeezed 650b wheels into 26" frames and forks getting on with them?
Any views as to whether it makes much difference?
I am really very happy with the results so far but I have hardly done enough to say 100% its better at everything, it "feels" like it rolls a bit better over stuff it does seem about the same to accelerate and has in no way reduced the fun and handling of my bike... clearance at the back IS tight though (but that would depend on frame obviously) so I am limited to tyres and so far that is the only downside at all I would even think of, everything else seems the same or better (gone from hope pro /717s to chris king /stans flows)
oh I did also go tubed to tubeless at the same time not sure if that helped or not so could be a slight improvement not related to the size upgrade.
Been racing this setup for 18 months. It's fantastic. BB is a bit higher which takes a bit of adaptation but it's great.
How much clearance did you both have (before and after)?
Back end - masses (but the Salsa Ala Cartes have massive chain stays in titanium and steel).
Forks - normal clearance to a bit less than you get on a 29er on the brake arch. Issue is clearance when fully compressed against the crown - I have about 3mm. You must check this by letting out all the air and heaving down on the forks. If the tyre touches the crown you need to faff with the forks.
Put some in an Inbred frame as an experiment. Dropped the forks by 20mm to offset the higher BB and fitted a 1 deg slackset to retain the same head angle as I had before lowering the forks. Works a treat, and I'd do it again, even though it sounds lke a faff! The impact on the ride is to make everything a bit smoother, without changing the handling characteristics

Fiona - 4.5 Years
Our Fiona is 4.5 years old. She is still our sweet girl who is ready with hugs and will make the rounds to sit on family member's laps. She loves to make art for her loved ones. A few other items about Fiona:
My crazy girl
- Chris makes up nicknames for Fiona that she loves. The most popular names are "Sugar-shine" and "Moonbeam."
- Fiona loves crunchy apples, especially pink lady apples. She likes me to cut up an apple for her and say, "Here's a pink lady for my pink lady."
- She loves apples, raspberries, yogurt, beans (kidney, garbanzo, black), pizza, broccoli, tomato soup, pulled pork and PB&J.
- When she needs something, she still says, "eed" instead of "need." I love that pronunciation.
- Fiona prefers to dress in twirly skirts and fancy dresses. It's a process every morning to find something for her that satisfies Fancy Fiona.
- When we come to an agreement with her on something, she says we have "dealed" on something. For example, she may say, "Dad and I dealed on going to the pool tomorrow."
- Fiona loves to color, draw and paint. She spends hours on the weekend coloring pictures. She stayed home sick one day a couple weeks ago and created her own portfolio by looking at pictures from a published art book and creating her own Fiona copies.
- She tries to enforce manners on Eloise. If Eloise asks for something, Fiona will say, "Please? Can you say 'please'?"
- Fiona and Eloise love to play together (sometimes), although Eloise still tends to knock down whatever Fiona is building (duplos, train tracks, magna-tiles).
- Fiona isn't very interested in cartoon or Disney movies because she really dislikes scary parts. She has also never shown interest in live action shows; however, before Christmas, we watched Home Alone together, and she absolutely LOVES the movie.
- Fiona loves to play kitchen and mix up cupcake or cookies soups on her play stove.
- Fiona is progressing with leaps and bounds at her Montessori school. She works at her own pace through BOB books for reading and can spell many three letter words by sounding out the letters. She can also add numbers together using her fingers.
- Fiona loves to swim at the pool. Chris has been taking her there since she was a year old, and she's at the point now that she can swim across the whole pool by herself without any assistance from Chris or flotation devices. It takes her a while, but she can do it.

Clearing the Air About Green Marketing
Understanding How Green Marketing Works and When to Use It
June 4, 2010
By Emily McClendon
What is Green Marketing
Marketing specialists are in agreement, green marketing campaigns exist and their clients should have one. The debate begins when the question turns to actually knowing what green marketing is and the best way to employ it. Although the rampant confusion is understandable due to the current amorphous nature of green marketing, the original concept was quite simple. Green marketing emerged as "marketing of products that are assumed to be environmentally safe"; a simple enough definition by anyone's standards. Unfortunately, the very simplicity of the initial definition provided excessive leeway for companies seeking to take advantage of green marketing, and the marketers creating their campaigns.
Although green marketing has experienced a recent resurgence as environmental issues are becoming incorporated into the public psyche, green marketing has been around for several decades. Green marketing began in the 1980's, with the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Reports which provided an overview of companies' environmental, social, and financial impacts. When consumers were able to monitor a company's operational practices, they were better able to understand which companies were wasteful and which were implementing sustainable measures. With the establishment of CSRs and the publication of several books highlighting green marketing, the movement gained traction as well as evolved to become more profitable.
Over the relatively short history of green marketing, a movement that began as a way to incentivize the production of environmentally friendly products has degenerated into a mishmash of ideas, ethics, and confusion about what green products really are.
Why it works
Green House Gas Reduction
Take one product, attempt to make it environmentally friendly, and then tell everybody about it. That is current green marketing in a nutshell. With few standards, and very little labeling of any significance, the right to call a product environmentally friendly is practically limitless. Authenticity of labeling has further lost creditability as the pseudo-accepted authority; EnergyStar, has recently undergone an embarrassment in which some of the more egregious products deemed efficient were exposed, for example the approval of a gas-powered alarm clock.
One of the few true determinants of a sustainable product is a demonstrably lower carbon footprint compared to competitors. Carbon Dioxide, despite controversy, is widely considered to be one of the most common and detrimental greenhouse gases (GHGs) contributing to global warming. To truly reduce a product's carbon footprint, the entire production process must be considered from manufacture to packaging, to transport. For example, one of the masters of efficiency, IKEA, uses Optiledge for shipping. Optiledge utilizes recyclable plastic pallets rather than the traditional wood pallets. The reduction in weight requires less fuel for transportation, and the recyclable nature of the pallets allows them to be reused several times, therefore removing the need for continual manufacturing (a big carbon producer).
Although consumers often believe the claims companies make about products being environmentally friendly, the true test the amount of carbon each product creates.
Efficiency and Sustainability Go Hand in Hand
Companies have more than one reason to produce "environmentally friendly" products. Sustainability goes usually encourages efficiency. Creating a sustainable process for manufacture and distribution often results in lower overall costs in the long run. Once companies get over the sticker shock of the capital investments required to renovate and reduce environmental damage, they often realize that net revenues will increase. Profits remain a primary concern in a capitalist economy, as they should, and cost effectiveness is an additional, persuasive, reason to become environmentally friendly.
Greater Social Consciousness
Although there is spirited debate about the reasoning behind social accountability, the fact remains that corporations are stepping up to become socially accountable. Part of accountability involves the effect a company's actions will have on the environment of their consumers. The movement towards social corporate responsibility encompasses accountability for the environmental impacts of their products, a movement that results in both a reduced impact and recognition for sustainable efforts. Although today's consumers are balancing complex lifestyle choices, environmental awareness is a growing factor in product selection.
Actual Effectiveness
Just as the definition of environmentally friendly is surrounded in confusion, so is the effectiveness of "green marketing". While more traditional marketing campaigns can point to metrics to illustrate the effectiveness of an individual campaign, determining if consumers are making choices primarily dependent upon environmental concerns is nearly impossible. Surveys indicate that 78% of consumers consciously attempt to buy products that are environmentally friendly, but the problem remains pinpointing how to utilize a sustainable preference.
With consumers making their own decisions about what "environmentally friendly" means, producers are scrambling to capture the market and convey the sustainability of their products. Although modern consumers are making an active effort to buy more responsibly, many still have little knowledge about what phrases like, "all-natural", "Non-toxic", and "100% post-consumer recycled" truly implicate. Further confusing the issue are the varying degrees of consumer interest in "green" products. According to Mintel, currently 12% of consumers are classified as those that attempt to buy a green product every time they make a purchase, while 68% of consumers will only occasionally pursue a green option. Marketers must include this discrepancy along with a consumer's preference for price, quality, and luxury.
Many marketers take advantage of this confusion to exaggerate their claims or make their products appear to possess attributes that have no relevance on the determination of sustainability. There is a market for green products, a market that will yield considerable profit, but the crux of green marketing is understanding how to exploit demand in the green market.
Cases of Environmental Marketing
Some companies have been able to create products with an emphasis on green initiatives that appeal to consumers. Perhaps one of the best examples is the Compact Fluorescent Light bulb (CFLs). With a cost of 2-3 times that of their incandescent counterparts, CFL sales struggled when they were first introduced. Not until marketing campaigns underscored the sustainability of CFLs while promoting the energy savings (about $26/yr per bulb replaced) did sales outpace those of incandescent bulbs.
Another excellent example is Brita's marketing campaign focused on the environmentally aware. By promising that the use of their product reduces plastic bottle waste and is less damaging to already depleted watersheds, Brita has increased sales of their water filters. In this case, green marketing was not supplemented by an appeal to sustainability but was used as a standalone policy.
Today's Green Consumer
When you think of a green consumer you might envision someone who cruises in a Prius while listening to NPR on the radio, but today's green consumer may just as well be the soccer mom down the street. Green consumers aren't conforming to the traditional idea of environmentalists. They are spread across age, geographic, racial, and income groups.
Additionally, different groups consider different aspects of green products priorities, and these draws range from altruistic environmental protection to a purely financial concern due to the efficiency of most green products. Grasping an understanding of the "green" market, and doing it quickly, can be one of the best investments a company can make. However, churning out products that are supposedly green will no longer be an effective strategy as green consumers grow in both knowledge and number.
Green marketing campaigns can be successful, but assuming that reaping the benefits won't require any more thought that a hastily created green campaign could be an unsustainable mistake. Products must actually have a reduced carbon footprint to be environmentally friendly, and marketing firms need to tout the sustainable aspects their target market consider the most important.

For families who want to do overnight backpacking trips or groups who need to set up a base camp, a larger tent is usually required. In both cases, this is a common scenario: the group carries their gear to a central location where a camp is established, from which day trips are launched. Tents used for this purpose are selected for their space, features, and comfort. They should be lightweight (if you are the parent you might have the whole thing in your pack), suitable for backpacking, easy to set up and enter/exit, and possess good wind stability, bug, and storm resistance. Tents in this category can also be used for car camping.
The Hilleberg Nallo 4 GT is a four-person, double-wall, four-season tunnel tent. The largest tent in the Nallo line, the GT designation of this tent means that it features an extended-length vestibule. The extra vestibule length is achieved by adding a third pole to the normal two-pole design of the Nallo series.
Although the extended vestibule and associated third pole add additional weight, the extra space has potential for creative use by families and large groups. On paper, the size and shape of the vestibule could – in a pinch – provide sleeping space for up to two additional people. For families with small children, the large porch area has the potential to be very beneficial for dealing with egress, gear, or cooking in inclement weather. Is the luxury of this additional space worth the extra weight?

What's included in the package.
Design and Features
The Nallo 4 GT is a three-pole tunnel design. Because it is not free-standing, it requires a minimum of four stakes (two at either end) and no guylines to set up. Additional stakes and guylines (all included) can be used to improve the stability and weather resistance.
The two main components of the tent system are the outer and inner tents:
- Outer tent: The outer tent is fabricated out of a product that Hilleberg refers to as Kerlon 1200, a 30 denier ripstop sil-nylon (1.47 oz/yd2, 50 g/m2). External pole sleeves are constructed out of a slightly beefier fabric and are designed to be wide enough to handle two poles each for extreme weather conditions (having the pole sleeves external to the canopy help prevent breaches of the tent wall in cases of pole failure). The outer tent has small loops on the inside, along the seams of the pole sleeves and at the tie-out points, for attaching the inner tent.
- Inner tent: The inner tent is fabricated out of DWR treated 30 denier ripstop nylon (0.94 oz/yd2, 35 g/m2) and has a bathtub floor consisting of 70 denier PU coated nylon (2.65 oz/yd2 90 g/m2). At the head end is a large circular zippered door. The interior fabric of the door can be zipped away and rolled down, exposing a lightweight mesh screen for additional ventilation and visibility. At the foot end of the inner tent is a small wedge-shaped arrangement of zippers that expose a mesh vent. The inner tent has elastic cords with plastic tabs that allow it to attach to the outer tent.
Left:The adjustable tie-outs have lightweight metal rings for the tent stakes.This is to help prevent the tie-outs from cutting on the stakes in windy conditions. Right:Tie-outs for guy lines are strategically placed in multiple locations around the tent.
Three optional accessories were also tested as part of this review:
- Mesh inner tent: The mesh inner tent is the same size, shape, and design as the regular inner tent except that it is constructed out of lightweight mesh instead of ripstop. This allows for better ventilation in warmer three-season conditions. The difference in weight between the ripstop inner tent and the mesh inner tent is negligible.
- Footprint: The tent footprint is fabricated out of the same fabric as the inner tent floor. It covers the entire tent area, including the vestibule. The footprint can be used as a groundsheet when in floorless mode, or as extra abrasion protection for the inner tent when car camping or otherwise.
- Pole holders: Pole holders are little pockets that attach to the bottom of the inner tent, allowing it to be pitched without the outer tent.
The standard way to pitch the Nallo is with the outer and inner tents attached. Pitching the tent in this fashion creates a robust, bug-proof, four-season, double-walled shelter. The outer tent can be pitched without the inner tent in floorless mode, and the inner tent can be easily added or removed without taking it down. Additionally, the inner tent can be pitched without the outer tent using the pole holders, creating a protected space from bugs while allowing for maximum ventilation. The outer tent cannot be pitched over an already set up inner tent.
Left: Outer tent pitched in floorless mode without the inner tent. Viewed through the vestibule door on the left side. Right: Viewed through the vestibule door on the right side.
Left: The front of the vestibule can be rolled completely back to form an open awning. Right: Five sleeping pads arranged in floorless mode with the front of the vestibule rolled back. Still room to spare.
Left: Outer tent pitched with inner mesh liner. Right: Five sleeping pads with the inner mesh liner. Things start to get cramped inside the inner tent.
Some other features worthy of note:
- The vestibule has a zippered door on either side.
- The front of the vestibule features a large vent that can be adjusted via a zipper.
- The front of the vestibule can be completely rolled back to make a covered porch.
- The pole sleeves are designed such that the poles are all inserted from one side.
- The foot of the tent features an adjustable vent where sections of the tent body can be unzipped and rolled away, allowing air to circulate between the outer and inner tents.
Left: External pole sleeves and plastic pockets are designed to handle an extra pole if required. Right: The adjustable vent at the foot of the tent can be rolled back in sections.
The basic set-up of the Nallo is relatively easy: stake out the back of the tent using two stakes, insert the three poles into the pole sleeves, then stake out the front using two more stakes. The pitch can be tightened by pulling on the adjustable tie-outs at each stake, and by tightening up the pole sleeves using the adjustable straps at the end of each pole. For additional stormworthiness, a stake can be added at the end of each pole and several guylines can be employed at various points around the tent.
For four people, the Nallo 4 GT is adequate, thanks mostly to the large vestibule. The main sleeping area has just enough room to hold four full-length sleeping pads. It is a perfect size if you have kids, but for four full-sized adults, it would be a little cozy. It would be spacious for three. If you want lots of space and comfort for four adults in this shelter, I would suggest that the fourth person sleep in the vestibule, or use it in floorless mode so that you have lots of room to spread out. For three people and gear, you probably wouldn't need the GT version.
When sitting up in the inner tent, headroom is at a premium along the sides of the tent. The center two people have decent room for sitting up, but the people on the sides have the sloped roof of the tent to contend with. The situation is much improved when also using the vestibule or when the inner tent is removed, as there is room for everyone to spread out.
Left: Headroom is adequate in the middle, but drops off quickly near the sides. Right: Dad cooking in the vestibule while the rest of the family are warm and cozy inside. This is the standard inner tent which is constructed out of a DWR ripstop nylon for colder conditions. The front door has a zip-away panel with mesh as can be seen in this photo.
We took the tent out on a fall weekend family backpacking trip in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The weather was cold (dipping to the high teens at night) and windy, with some snow at higher elevations. The tent performed very well. The two-wall design ensured that everyone was warm and comfortable. Although the tent did make lots of noise in the wind, it was nice and stable.
While designed for four people, there was enough space for our family of five; the vestibule was big enough for me to sleep in a lightweight bivy sack while still leaving room for all of our gear as well as space to cook. The large vestibule also made entry/exit a breeze for the kids (who are known to be a little clumsy when dealing with their footwear) making camping in foul weather a very pleasant experience. We also liked having two zippered entry doors as it allowed us to select our entry point based on the weather conditions.
When it was time to break camp, we took down the inner tent and used the large floorspace as a gear packing area. Everyone stayed warm while we got organized. The final step involved a quick exit and takedown of the tent prior to hitting the trail. Weather resistance is superb. The tunnel design is very stable in windy conditions. Because the tent is pitched right to the ground, there is little wind or water that is able to find its way in around the perimeter.
In New England, it is common for backcountry sites to have tent platforms. Pitching shelters that are not self-supporting can be a challenge, especially when they are large. The Nallo was just big enough to set up on a large wooden tent platform. Because it only needed four stakes, set-up was a relatively easy task.
There are few other shelters on the market that are similar in design to this tent at this size. The only one that would be considered equivalent is the Stephenson Warmlite 5R.
The 5R, while similar in overall size to the Nallo, has a few important differences: The inner wall and floor are not removable, and thus the tent cannot be used as a floorless single-wall shelter. There is no separate vestibule space, the floor extends across the entire bottom of the tent. The double layer of fabric only exists in the main body of the tent, not over the ends (although this can be added as an option). The tent has a door at each end. At 5 lbs 10 oz, the Warmlite 5R base price is $850, and only a few ounces lighter than the minimum trail weight of the Nallo.
If I were to describe this shelter in one word, it would be versatile. While it isn't the lightest shelter in the lineup, it isn't bad at all when you consider all the different ways that it can be used: In four seasons, outer only (single-wall, floorless), outer with ground sheet (single-wall, floored), outer and inner (double-walled), and inner only (screened sleeping area), with a variety of vestibule ventilation and entrance options. The stock weight can be trimmed by using lighter guylines and fine tuning the stakes, using lighter models where appropriate. If Hilleberg were to offer carbon fiber poles as an option, the weight could be reduced even further without losing any functionality.
This tent is seriously engineered. Out of all the tents I have ever used, this one feels like an incredible amount of thought and design went into every detail, with performance and durability being of utmost priority. It is also engineered to withstand virtually any four-season weather most regular people would encounter. This level of design does have a cost (both financially and weight-wise). If you are looking for one shelter to meet all your needs no matter what the climate or the season, for the weight, there are few others out there that can match it.
What's Good
- The vestibule is real usable space (including sleeping), not just storage space. We found this to be very useful as a family.
- The wide variety of pitching options.
- The ability to erect the both the outer and inner tents simultaneously.
- Full bug protection.
- Usable in four seasons.
What's Not So Good
- The headroom is limited near the sides of the tent.
- For its square footage, this tent is on the heavy side.
- Although it is listed as a four-person tent, the inner tent would be cramped for four full-sized adults.
Recommendations for Improvement
- If Hilleberg could figure out a way to make it possible to change between the regular vestibule and the GT vestibule while maintaining water-tightness and without additional weight, this tent would be truly stellar in its versatility.
- The weight of the tent could be reduced if an optional carbon fiber pole set were available.

Been to Herb and Spice in Dukinfield tonight its the 1st time I have been to an indian resturant but the experiance was amazing. I don't really eat curry but what I chose was lovely. There was 18 of us alltogether and the bill came up to 350.85 but considering people was having drinks left right and centre I find that quite reasonable can't wait to go again. On the downside they got the wrong starter to one of us and they brought the wrong rice for me but overall my experiance was outstanding. The menu is really simple to use as it gives you a good description on what you are ordering I had a little trouble choosing but I finally got there and it was scrumdidiliotious. I was impressed at the fact they give you popadoms with hot and yoghurt sauce also red onion, colslaw,chillies and mango.

The Venturi Air Filter from DOPPLER is a real gimmick. Similar to water fl owing through a garden hose, the fuel mix is powered in the carburator through the tapered cross section. This air fi lter is an absolute favorite. Noise levels are signifi cantly reduced, your carburetor is easily tuned. The air channel can be easily widened and is then ideal for moving up to a 19-21mm carburetor. The fi lters are tilted and fi t all DELL`ORTO/ARRECHE carburetors from 12-21mm. Available in either closed or transparent housing.

More and more people are wanting to learn about 3D printing as the technology becomes cheaper and more accessible. Libraries are just starting to open up public maker spaces, but there's plenty of dedicated private maker spaces for those who don't mind spending a little money to learn all about 3D printing.
One such maker space belongs to Fathom - a 3D printer reseller that operates a workshop in Oakland, California. Stratasys stopped by in June to talk to the workshop about what they make and how they teach people to take advantage of this emerging technology.
Stratasys Blog author Sam Green visits the Fathom Workshop in downtown Oakland California to see some of the incredible range of 3D printing systems and prototypes they have on display. Fathom hosted a workshop for a number of their customers to help train them on the benefits of the PolyJet Digital ABS material.

jump rope vs running
I've read in magazines that jumping rope is better than running. Is this true?
since this is in the fat loss section I'll assume that your asking if its better for fat burning. Its debatable, but i'd say jumping rope for around 30 to 45 second intervals would put you in the same realm as doing HIIT sprints for the same duration. So if you look at it like that, it would definately be "better" for fat loss then long bouts of solid state cardio.
Thanks .i have always seen "intervals" but i do not really know what an interval is. im sorry guys.
Just look at the top of the fatloss page. There is an HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) sticky which will provide you with lots of info.

Lagos's government certainly won't be feeling particularly sympathetic to the general, and not only because of matters past. It had pressed Britain to release Pinochet because of his supposedly failing health, only to be embarrassed by the spectacle of the general all but bounding out of his wheelchair on his arrival in Santiago. More ominous, of course, was the welcoming committee of Chile's top brass, including the commander-in-chief, welcoming their former leader with a guard of honor comprising hundreds of heavily armed special forces troops and a statement of "permanent support and solidarity." But while the generals may growl at legal proceedings, they're unlikely to bite there are enough legal obstacles in place to make a trial unlikely. For the much-changed country, there could even be some benefit drawn-out courtroom challenges keep Pinochet and his supporters on the defensive and allow Chile to revisit his legacy without threatening social instability.
Now It's Chile's Turn to Ponder Over Pinochet
Chile remains unlikely to try General Augusto Pinochet, but the very fact that the matter is even being considered signals how far the country has come since the general ruled by decree. Judge Juan Guzman on Monday formally asked a Chilean court to strip the former dictator of his congressional immunity, allowing him to be tried on some 66 indictments arising from the death or disappearance of 72 Chileans in the days following Pinochet's coup in 1973. The case revolves around the notorious "Caravan of Death," in which a group of military officers on Pinochet's orders, according to prosecutors toured Chile, dragging political prisoners earmarked for elimination out of detention centers and summarily executing them. Legal experts agree that the challenge to Pinochet's immunity will take months, if not years, and is far from certain to succeed. But Socialist party president-elect Ricardo Lagos has vowed to let nothing interfere with due process in the case. After all, his party had challenged Britain's arrest of the general on the grounds that it undermined Chilean sovereignty, arguing that Chile was the proper place for Pinochet to be tried.

The dramatic development prompted an immediate reaction from Gordon Brown who described the charge as "disappointing".
Foreign Office officials said today that the Sudanese ambassador would be "summoned as a matter of urgency". The purpose of the meeting was "so we can get a clear explanation for the rationale behind the charges and a sense of what the next steps might be," the Prime Minister's spokesman said.
Police arrested Gillian Gibbons on Sunday after complaints by parents that she had acted in a way to insult Islam.
A prosecution team in Khartoum "has completed its investigation and has charged the Briton Gillian [Gibbons] under article 125 of the criminal code", the Suna news agency said, quoting a justice ministry official.
The matter will go before a court tomorrow and Gibbons is expected to appear, Reuters reported.
A spokesman for Brown said: "We are surprised and disappointed by this development and the foreign secretary will summon as a matter of urgency the Sudanese ambassador to discuss the matter further."
Gibbons, 54, who taught at the exclusive British-style Unity high school in Khartoum, had asked her pupils to name the bear as part of a project to teach them about animals.
But officials from the country's education ministry took action after critics claimed that her choice of name for the bear contravened religious laws.
Lawyers say the teacher, who is from Liverpool, could face 40 lashes, a fine or six months in jail if convicted.
Earlier today, three British embassy officials and a teaching colleague from Unity school were allowed to visit Gibbons for more than 90 minutes.
"I can confirm that we have met Ms Gibbons and she said she is being treated well," said the British consul, Russell Phillips. "We remain in close contact with the Sudanese authorities on this case," he said, declining to give further details.
The teddy bear incident occurred in September this year, a month after Gibbons first arrived in Sudan. It was not until last week, however, that Unity's director was informed that a few parents had complained to the ministry of education that their religion had been insulted.
For devout Muslims, any depiction of the prophet Muhammad is regarded as blasphemous. As a result the school closed until January, for fear of reprisals.
The feeling among most teachers and parents at Unity - Muslim and non-Muslim - is that the Sudanese authorities have overreacted.
One English mother, who had a child in one of the other classes in Unity, said: "I was just gobsmacked. And when I talked about it to colleagues who were Muslims, they felt the same.
"When I first heard about the teddy bear I thought 'Oh no, don't go down that road. That's a really bad idea.' But she had just arrived in Sudan. She must have been idealistic, full of new ideas. She just didn't realise that it was such a problem."
Yesterday, even the Sudanese embassy in London called the controversy a "storm in a teacup". Khalid al-Mubarak, the embassy spokesman, told the BBC he expected the case would be treated as a "minute complaint", and that cultural differences had caused the problem.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "I can confirm Gillian Gibbons has been charged under article 125 of the Sudanese Criminal Code," said the spokesman. "The charges are insulting religion and inciting hatred."

Tour rookie reeling from ban
Scottish golfer Elliot Saltman yesterday started a three-month ban from the European Tour, but the stigma from being found guilty of "a serious breach" of rules is bound to last far longer unless he wins an appeal.
The oldest of three brothers who are all professionals, the 28-year-old Tour rookie was called before the tournament committee over his ball-marking during a second-tier event in Russia last September.
Saltman, accused by both his playing partners Stuart Davis and Marcus Higley of breaking the rules on a number of occasions, was disqualified at the time and now becomes the first member of the circuit to be banned since Johan Tumba in 1992.
The Swede received a 10-year suspension for changing his scorecard during the Tour qualifying school, although it was later reduced to three years.
A European Tour statement said that Saltman, whose brother Lloyd also came through the qualifying school last November and as an amateur was 15th in the 2005 Open at St Andrews, was guilty of breaking its regulations.
He has the right to lodge an appeal before the board of the European Tour within the next 28 days.
Golf prides itself on the honesty of its players and world number one Lee Westwood said: "The fact that we are highlighting one case shows how little it goes on in golf — it's very rare.
"There isn't any room for bending the rules in any sport and when it does occur you have to give a ban out."

A teenager from Trail, B.C., will appear in court this month accused of sexually luring and threatening other youth online.
Mounties are warning even more charges could be laid if investigators track down "the large number of potential victims" believed to have been targeted on social media websites.
Cpl. Dave Johnson told the CBC there could be upwards of 80 potential victims — including both young boys and girls — who were chosen because they live in the Kootenay-Boundary area.
The teen suspect was arrested on Nov. 18, four days after police received reports of a person using physical threats to persuade young boys to befriend him on Facebook. The youths were then allegedly asked to remove their clothes on webcam.
The teen has been charged with uttering threats, two counts of luring a child, two counts of extortion and two counts of invitation to sexual touching.
The suspect has since been released, with a first court appearance set for early this month.
Under conditions of his release, the suspect is prohibited from possessing digital devices, may only access the Internet under supervision of an adult, and cannot be in contact with any person under the age of 16 unless an adult is present.

Science / Chemistry / Balanced Equation: A description of a chemical reaction that gives the chemical formulas of the reactants and the products of the reaction, with coefficients introduced so that the number of each type of atom and the total charge is unchanged by the reaction. For example, a balanced equation for the reaction of sodium metal (Na(s)) with chlorine gas (Cl2(g)) to form table salt (nacl(s)) would be 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) = 2 nacl(s), NOT Na(s) + Cl2(g) = nacl(s).

Photographer's Note
Gulshan (one of the elite areas in Dhaka) as seen from the window of the 13th floor of BRAC center where I work. After the exhausting heat of a day in July, the light was becoming softer, the streets were yet half deserted, monsoon clouds rising high above the horizon - seemed like a beautiful, glamorous view of Dhaka. And yet it is as unreal as can be when you see the slums on the extreme left. Surrounded by the most elite, rich areas of the city is a small island filled with slums of some of the poorest (intentionally tried not to include in the photo). Sometimes it looks as if the island is unable to hold the burden small thatched houses. The contrast is so obvious, so sharp that it is impossible to avoid it.
I have been planning for a long time to do a series on this slum, the people that live there and the tall buildings around it with extravagant billboards. But when finally taking a shot I wanted to have a beautiful picture of my city, one which will not make me or anyone who sees the photo sad. Amidst all the inequality, the unbearable contrast of poverty and filthy wealth I wanted to have a photograph of Dhaka which would make me feel good whether it conforms to reality or not...

Hi Kazi, this seems to be a lovely place and captured well by you with the window reflecting in the fore ground

Hi Kazi.
Very interesting and thoughtful note to go with your colourful picture. I'm sure this is the first picture I have seen on TE of Dakha. I couldn't believe its modernity at first, until I read the note. I see some reflections of windows in the shot, but you did say you were at work when you took this. If I may suggest - you can upload a picture up to 800 pixels wide. I would like to see a larger shot.
Anyway, thanks very much for this one and the very honest notes.

Hello Kazi,
Your photo is attractive with its splendid contrasts between emerald colored river, red roofs and white facades. I like the reflection of facades on dazzling water surface with their yellow and white tones. As you know the new buildings, paved roads never erase or covers poverty that easily recognizable surround of new settlements. This is the reality. I like quality of your photo in natural colors and sharpness. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.
Best Regards,

Hello Kazi,
I like this shot, it is interesting and it shows much about the country which I will most probably never see with own eyes in reality! Very good, rich colours and interesting composition. I like your note very much, too, and I share your feelings concerning this situation.
I must say that the situation with old/new and the poor/the rich reminds me of the current situation in Russia. I mean - the idea... the way it all has been going for quite some time.
It's like a beautiful mask placed on the face of a dying, very ill person whom you can't get rid of, and you have to bear with his presence till he finally dies by himself, surrounded with beauty and "the nouveaux riches".
Thank you, and have a nice weekend!

As usual, the Supreme news come in Monday morning. This time they announced an exciting collaboration with two Japanese artists. Supreme will release a series of limited edition skateboard decks designed by artists Takashi Murakami and Mr. The series will consist of three decks designed by each artist.
They will be available exclusively through the six Supreme stores (New York, Los Angeles and four locations throughout Japan) and selected retail accounts.
On September 20th, the skate decks will also be available in their new online shop (u.s. only). Just a few months ago Supreme launched their first website, which was already unexpected. An online store was definitely the last thing we would ever see from Supreme. Unfortunately the online store is U.S. only.
Otherwise this is just another impressive collaboration by the NYC brand. Thanks to them some of us get our hands on artwork that is otherwise too expensive and unattainable.

Store owner swings broom, foils robbery
The attempt to rob a Carbon County store was foiled when the owner used a broomstick on the robber.
State police at Lehighton said the incident occurred about 7 p.m. Tuesday at Pappy's General Store, located at 600 White St., in Bowmanstown.
Troopers said store owner, Bhaskarbhai P. Patel, 48, was sweeping at the entrance of the store when a white male confronted him displaying a small black handgun. The would-be robber demanded money from Patel.
Patel instead used the broomstick to strike the wrist of the hand holding the gun. The robber then fled the scene.
A search of the area by state and local police and a state police helicopter failed to find the suspect.
The suspect was described as being about five-feet tall, slim build, and was wearing a black hooded sweat shirt with the hood pulled up, black cloth material to cover his face, and black cloth gloves.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call troopers at (610) 377-4270.

BT is to expand its fibre network to Scotland bringing superfast broadband to 277,000 homes and businesses.
The project, which will begin in 2012, will see BT roll-out a fibre optic network across 34 exchanges in the country, including including Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is part of the £2.5bn investment in next generation broadband being made by the telecomms company. The network will combine fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) technology that see fibre optic cables laid to street cabinets and then traditional copper cables to connect homes and premises to the street cabinets, as well as fibre to the premises (FTTP) that continue the fibre link from the street cabinets to the premises.
"Superfast broadband will be welcomed by families throughout these 34 areas because it will help improve their quality of life and leisure and open new doors through online learning and fast access to information and services. And it's also going to provide a huge fillip (stimulus) for businesses," said Brendan Dick, director of BT Scotland.
"At a stroke, small and medium-sized firms will have access to big-business speeds at much lower costs, allowing them to find new markets, boost their competitiveness and create new jobs."
BT's announcement comes just weeks after the government revealed it plans to invest £100m to create a number of 'super-connected' cities in the UK where residents and firms can access speeds of between 80 and 100Mbps.
The Urban Broadband Fund was announced in the Autumn Statement by Chancellor George Osborne last month. Edinburgh, London, Belfast and Cardiff will be joined by six other cities, which will be revealed in next year's budget, in receiving a share of the £100m. The funding will be made available over the next three years.

Mr. KOHL. Madam President, I rise to support and encourage passage of this farm bill.
Farm bills are difficult measures to shepherd through this chamber. There has never been--and never will--be a `perfect' one in the eyes of every Member of this body. But American agriculture needs a new farm bill and this one deserves our support for a variety of reasons.
For starters, it delivers over $23 billion dollars in savings at time when our Nation's balance sheet needs it most.
It improves nutrition programs by curbing fraud and improving program integrity. Hungry Americans--many of whom are children--need a food safety net when times are tough. These changes support that safety net and deliver more accountability to taxpayers.
This bill also responds to concerns articulated by dairy farmers who are hugely important to me and to Wisconsin. Long-time farm policy observers know of my enduring interest in dairy policy. The MILC program, which I co-authored with several of my colleagues in this chamber, was the first comprehensive safety net for American dairy producers. It provided payments in time of low prices and cost the government nothing when we had robust dairy prices. Dairy farmers today face new and different challenges. In recent years they have seen situations where, despite robust milk prices, their input prices dramatically escalated and their margins evaporated. The dairy policy embodied in this bill recognizes that challenge and establishes margin protection insurance. Participants will be given the option to choose the level of margin protection that makes the most sense for their dairy operations.
I supported a number of amendments to this farm bill. Among them were modifications to enhance rural development and programs for beginning farmers. Farm bills touch our Nation in many different ways, and these are two areas that merit more attention and continued diligence. I also opposed a number of amendments because I feared they would undermine agriculture exports, our ability to innovate, and our organic agriculture sector.
Finally, I want to congratulate the chair and ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee for their diligent work. It takes an enormous amount of effort to move a farm bill. They worked hard to find consensus and deserve our thanks. I also want to acknowledge with thanks their staff, including Cory Claussen and Jonathan Coppess of the majority and Eric Steiner from the Republican staff. They worked very hard on a variety of topics, including the dairy provisions.
I encourage my colleagues to support the bill.
