Jul 26 2013: Let us hope that this is the theme everyone actually follows, truly, not just with words. Remember also that Japan chose never to possess nuclear weapons even though they could easily build them. This makes China a far greater threat to them than Japan could ever be to China. Ever since world war 2 Japan has had problems getting men into its military because their terrible history makes it an almost unclean occupation. At the moment there are no real threats to world peace like there were say before world war 2: Nazi Germany and imperialist Japan. There are very few countries with the desire for expansion and power that these two countries possessed in the past. None have that combination of great military power and a desire to take from others. China just wants success, to be a great nation, Russia also and is too poor to build its military at the moment, the US loves to influence others, sometimes by force but not to invade and literally take over the country permanently like say the roman empire did. India wabts to be one of the greats but has too many problems of its own like poverty and the rest of the world really jusr want a peaceful world to get on with making money.
jiale 董Jul 26 2013: Thanks for your commend you said that Japan chose never to possess nuclear weapons but china have nuclear weapons .It's a great threat to them ,but china also promised that won't be the first country to use nuclear weapons if Japan does't develop nuclear weapons they won't be attacked by nuclear weapons from china and recently Japan wants to amend the constitution ,I think it is a dangerous sigh ,what's more I want to say is that chinese don't have the ambiton to invade other countries while Japan always worries about that china will take action on them Ithink it's really unnecessary .chinese kown that we are in an age of develoing we need peace we very treasure peace you know we paid heaveliy in the world war Ⅱ

Japanese and European officials will not seek to bolster the yen against the euro unless it trades below 150 against the euro for a sustained period, Deutsche Bank has predicted.
Sterling fell 0.13 per cent against the dollar last night, while the euro fell 0.15 per cent against the pound.
The euro has traded 6.8 per cent up against the yen over the course of the year and the yen fell to a new record of 150.73 in August, back up to 149.77 in latest trading.
"Europe and Japan do not yet appear to have an urgent need to reverse,"
the falls however, Deutsche Bank analysts told Bloomberg.
A stronger yen could jeopardise Japan's economic resurgence and a falling euro could add to inflationary pressures, the analysts added.
"Before intervention were to become a legitimate threat to euro-yen, escalation of verbal intervention would be the next likely step," they wrote.
The European Central Bank has not intervened to rebalance the euro since 2000 and the Japanese finance ministry has not intervened since March 2004.
No move on yen/euro balance

COVINGTON - Limit the mental mistakes. Always play hard. Win county championship. Win Region 8-AAA and Class AAA state title. Make no excuses.These are the goals for the Eastside football team. "We have worked this year with a purpose," Eastside head coach Rick Hurst said. "Not that we have not in the past, but this offseason, these seniors (have) dedicated this year to making a name for themselves in the region and the state." Eastside finished last season at 7-3, a step up from the previous season's 5-5 and a vast improvement from Hurst's first year record of 0-10. In order to improve on last year's success, the Eagles need to continue to play hard. Also driving the Eastside players and staff this season was missing the playoffs by one game. The last time an Eastside football team played beyond the regular season was in 2001, when they lost to North Forsyth 28-0. "Coming close to the playoffs last season has really motivated not only the players but the coaching staff," Hurst said. "We do not want to look back at the end of the year and talk about how good we could have been. Our focus has been on improving our record each year. That has not changed." Even though Eastside's football team is moving down in classification, that does not mean the level of competition has gone down. "I think moving down makes it tougher. Everyone expects us to be better because we played in AAAA for the last few years. Region 8-AAA is really tough. Stephens, Hart and Oconee County will all be hard to handle," Hurst said. Even though they haven't taken their first region game snap, Hurst already likes his chance of making the playoffs compared to last season. Since the top four teams make the playoffs and there are eight teams in the region, they have a 50 percent chance to making the playoffs. Last year in Region 8-AAAA, there were 13 teams competing for the four playoffs spots. In order for Eastside to continue to shine in Class AAA, it will have to find a way to open the running lanes and give quarterback Justin Wray some time when he throws. Making that task even more difficult is the graduation of many of last year's offensive line. "We have quality guys coming into those positions, but they lack experience," Hurst said." The potential is there to be better than last year, but they are really green. If they grow up in hurry, we will be able to move the football and score some points. Playing on Thursdays and Fridays are totally different, so those guys will have to mature early for us to be successful." Two of the key linemen for the Eagles this year will be tackles James Johnson and Jarrett Hubbard. When the Eagles have the ball they will stay with the same basic spread offense that has made them successful. "We continue to run from the spread gun," Hurst said. "We want to maximize the number of times our athletes get the ball in space." Defensively, the Eagles will play out of a 3-5 set. With defense oriented on stopping the run, the Eagles are going to count heavily on JaCorey Maddox and Hunter Parker. "JaCorey Maddox will anchor our defensive line. Hunter Parker will be highly counted on to fill a void at linebacker, and Rashad Hill and Antarius Terrell will split time in the secondary," Hurst said. On special teams, Yanrick Tinker will handle the kicking duties with Hill and Terrell taking care of returns most of the time. "Rashad Hill and Antarius Terrell will return punts and kickoffs this season," Hurst said. "You may also see Justin back there from time to time." The magic number for Tinker this year is 35. Hurst describes Tinker as very accurate until the kicks get a little long. "He has to work on his consistency outside of 35 yards," Hurst said. "Inside of 35 he is very accurate and his strong leg will hopefully pin other teams deep on kick-offs." Although Eastside is a very strong team with a lot of determination, the Eagles also have some weaknesses they have to protect. The main weak spots are things that cannot be coached - lack of experience and depth. However, Hurst is hoping their team speed will be an equalizer in the end. "Speed is a strength on both sides of the ball for us. If we can utilize it, it will be a factor in all the games that we play," he said. "The new faces played some last year, but it was when games were in hand. Depth is also a concern. Our younger guys have to step up and fill in some two spots so that we are counting on so many folks going both ways." Manny Fils can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. SideBar: At a glance Team: Eastside football Coach: Rick Hurst (fourth season) Last year's record: 7-3 Key returning starters: Justin Wray (QB), Broderick Alexander (RB), Anderico Bailey (WR), James Johnson (OL), JaCorey Maddox (DL), Rashad Hill (RB) and Antarius Terrell (WR) First game: Thursday vs. Harris County at Homer Sharp Stadium, 7 p.m.

Bush Consigns GOP To Political Oblivion
Via NewsHounds, Brit Hume interviews Fred Barnes, Executive Editor of The Weekly Standard about the Libby commutation:
George Bush may have alienated a lot of core conservatives and thereby consigned the Republican party to political oblivion for the next forty years.
BRIT HUME: "The full pardon option is - would seem to be open but that would become then a contradiction of what he said about the jury verdict, wouldn't it?"<
FRED BARNES: "Not necessarily. I mean, you can pardon for different reasons. One, you can pardon for mercy. You can pardon because you think it's a miscarriage of justice or you can pardon for political reasons. Other Presidents have done this. You know - um, uh - George Washington - pardoned the perpetrators of the Whiskey Rebellion. Thomas Jefferson, you know, [pardoned] those convicted under the Alien and Sedition Acts. This goes way back to the founders. Remember Bush - Bush's father pardoned Caspar Weinberger when he'd been indicted for some connection - I forget what it was - with the Iran-Contra And that was a political - that was the use of the pardon - or in this case the commuting power for political reasons. I think that's what he's done here."
HUME: "So this is political, in other words?"
BARNES: "Yeah it's political. And this is..."
HUME: "This isn't because the sentence was too harsh? This is for politics?"
BARNES: "Well he does think the sentence is too harsh, but, uh, uh, there are lots of sentences that are too harsh. I think he did this because he didn't - uh, for those reasons, but it's a different kind of pardon. You know there's an ordinary pardon and you would have sent that through the Justice Department and they have an office there that tells you whether it meets certain standards or not. He didn't do that. You don't do that with these - uh - these sort of political - uh - pardons and, look, this goes back to the founders."

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsO Mystique is magical! Mystique is one of the most beautiful, romantic, indigenous hotels I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Not only is the location spectacular, but the quality of service, food and amentities is second-to-none, and the rooms are like luxury caves built out of a cliff. The concierge staff is also exceptional. With just 19 rooms, the staff is clearly committed to providing best-in-class service and we literally felt like we were family by the end of our visit. One of the best hotel experiences I have ever had, and easily the most romantic! October 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by teaandcake Fantastic Hotel, Amazing Staff My fiance and I loved our stay at 5-night Mystique - it's a beautiful hotel with an amazing staff. They've thought of everything here, and their level of attention to detail shows. Do take advantage of the well-connected concierge staff - they were incredibly helpful with restaurant reservations and recommendations, along with coordinating activities on the island. We did a semi-private sunset cruise on a catamaran (along with a swim to the hot springs by the volcano), what ended up being a private wine tasting and cooking experience, and an ATV rental for the day, all at the recommendation of the concierge, and we loved each. Rooms are spacious and well appointed (with an incredible Caldera view), and as Starwood Gold members, we were graciously granted a significant upgrade. Breakfast at the property is also luxe - would highly recommend the scrambled egg & tomato dish, the yoghurt, and the sweet pancakes all from the Greek Breakfast menu. Loved every minute of our vacation at Mystique, and we can't wait to go back. May 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RChoi Nice, but could have been better~! It's hard to do a review when the island had no power/water during our stay. The hotel offered free bottles of water for shower and drinking and flashlight but if we are paying for top $ for top hotels in Santorini, the hotel should have offered more to ease the pain of having no water / power. From this point of view, the hotel did not meet our expectation. But when the power came back on, the hotel met our expectation. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fredrick Fantastic resort View is good, facility is fantastic, staff is great always happy, friendly, helpful. Comparing with next stay in Geneva, Mystique staff attitude is totally praised. July 28, 2013

Peugeot's Saveurs spice blend contains four different kinds of peppercorns mixed with coriander seeds for a unique taste. Black, white and green pepper are the berries of the pepper vine, Piper Nigrum. Green and black pepper are berries harvested when unripe. The black colour comes from sun-drying while the mature berry, husked then dried, gives white pepper. Red peppercorns are not really pepper at all, but the berries of a South American tree (Schinus terebinthifolius)! They can be ground when mixed with pepper (no more than 15%). Coriander is a herbaceous plant with edible leaves, seeds and roots.

On Wednesday, Obama jumped to the 6-point lead he holds now in the Gallup poll after holding a 3-point lead on Tuesday.
Obama's approval rating also stayed at 50 percent, the "safe" threshold for an incumbent's re-election. His disapproval rating, though, jumped a point to 45 percent.
In the Rasmussen daily tracking poll, meanwhile, Obama leads Romney 47-46. When "leaners" are included in the tracking poll, the race is tied 48-48.

When Thinner Isn't Better
Guest blogger Dani Klein Modisett: How do you tell a woman who is excited to be svelte after several pregnancies that she's taken it too far?
"No thanks, I already ate at home," my dear friend tells the waiter approaching the table. She was more than 15 minutes late to our lunch and seeing as I am going to be nursing my son until he's 30, I was starving and had already ordered.
"Sorry I didn't get here on time," she said, sitting down and dropping her purse on the table with a thud. "I had a hard time leaving the house today," she continued, pulling her phone out of the bag and placing it on the table.
It was then that I noticed something was different about her arms. Where once they looked like arms, they now resembled long toothpicks covered in flesh. And her face was gaunt too, like an Edvard Munch sketch.
"That's cool," I said, diving in to the breadbasket like an aardvark that is handed a bag of termites. "Excuse me, can we get some olive oil?" I barked to a passing waiter. It's very important to have fat in your diet when you're breastfeeding. Which is, of course, one of the reasons I am still breastfeeding.
"So what's going on?" I asked my friend, wiping crumbs from my mouth.
"I don't know ... I'm just really tired all the time. Two kids is a lot."
Especially if you don't eat, I think, dipping my piece of focacia in the newly arrived pool of oil.
"Well, are you eating enough?" I asked, as casually as you can ask a person who looks like a well-dressed skeleton.
"What do you mean? I eat all the time. I had a whole croissant yesterday."
"Really?" I had two muffins, half a chicken, a latte, and a 16 oz. container of Faye greek-style yogurt. Before 12 noon. I didn't say that out loud because it's a revolting amount of food even to a normal person, let alone an anorexic.
That's harsh. Or is it? Could it be that this person I have known through two pregnancies and well into her 40's has somehow developed a predominantly twenty-something eating disorder?
And if so, what can I do to help her?
|Dani Klein Modisett is the mother of 1-year-old Gideon (pictured) and 5-year-old Gabriel. She is comedy writer/creator/producer of the show "Afterbirth...stories you won't read in Parents magazine." An anthology of stories from this show will be published by St. Martin's Press, in stores in May 2009.
There's nothing you can do until she see's that there is a problem herself. Anorexics are like addicts, they won't get help until they hit rock bottom.
Do you know for a fact that she's anorexic? I only hear your voice in this and it may be jealousy. Get her voice in here too (I mean write from both point of views instead of just one side) And yes I know people who have been anorexic along with other eating disorders so I know how/what goes on in their heads.
I have a very good friend in her late 30's and she looks amazing to me. She has big tata's and is super fit. I have only known her about a year and a half. So last year when summer hit and we started going to the pool together I noticed how skinny she really was and how unsexy it is. She even asked me lately if she looks anorexic in her face because her hubby had said something about it. I lied and said no. I don't know, I just don't see her eat much and she runs like 4 miles a day.
I have a 67 year old friend that has purposely dropped 35 lbs in 4 months. She is sporting size 4 jeans. She did need to lose about 15 lbs., but this is over-the-top and the lines in her face and neck are making her look like 77. She eats popcorn and salsa and tiny portions of low cal food. I haven't said anything as I don't think it will register. How do these eating disorders crop up? Age seems to have no bearing!
I don't know if there is anything you can do, but you could talk to her spouse and/or doctor or have her spouse or a family member talk to her doctor.
There is no guarantee that she will listen to her doctor, though.
All you can do is express your concern in a very kind, non-judgemental way.
I was 20 pounds overweight when my first husband died. I lost that over 50 pounds in the following months because I just didn't feel like eating. My family and my doctor finally spoke up when I was down to 108 pounds on a 5'7" frame. Protein shakes helped me put some weight back on until my depression lifted enough to where I had an appetite again.

A cheeky request to all the gfx artists out there. A couple of WJEC ICT teachers are setting up a forum/website to discuss and share resources for the various ICT based courses that the WJEC offer.
So I am working on getting phpbb up and running and also putting together a front end template - probably using Wordpress.
ANyhow, I wonder if someone could come up with a logo which says 'uujec.info' - a smart logo in print and web resolution? Transparent backgrounds etc.
Recognition of the logo will be given on the site and also a link to edugeek.
Many thanks

Debt deception: Some collection agencies drown consumers in bad credit reports as a way to leverage payments they don't owe (via dispatch.com) »
The letters are sent by the thousands to people across the country who have written bad checks, threatening them with jail if they do not pay up. They bear the seal and signature of the local district attorney's office. But there is a catch: the letters are from debt-collection companies."

Research Mapping Human Emotions Shows Strong Mind Body Connection
Alex Pietrowski, Staff
Waking Times
Love makes us warm all over, and now scientists are creating body maps to prove it.
A team of scientists in Finland has used a topographical self-reported method to reveal the effects that different emotional states have on bodily sensations. After five experiments and over 700 participants from Finland, Sweden and Taiwan, who reported where on their bodies they felt different emotions, the scientists discovered surprising consistencies. Their research findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:
Most basic emotions were associated with sensations of elevated activity in the upper chest area, likely corresponding to changes in breathing and heart rate (1). Similarly, sensations in the head area were shared across all emotions, reflecting probably both physiological changes in the facial area (i.e., facial musculature activation, skin temperature, lacrimation) as well as the felt changes in the contents of mind triggered by the emotional events. Sensations in the upper limbs were most prominent in approach-oriented emotions, anger and happiness, whereas sensations of decreased limb activity were a defining feature of sadness. Sensations in the digestive system and around the throat region were mainly found in disgust. In contrast with all of the other emotions, happiness was associated with enhanced sensations all over the body.
Research on behavioral and physiological responses to emotions could help in understanding mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Emotions coordinate our behavior and physiological states during survival-salient events and pleasurable interactions. Even though we are often consciously aware of our current emotional state, such as anger or happiness, the mechanisms giving rise to these subjective sensations have remained unresolved. Here we used a topographical self-report tool to reveal that different emotional states are associated with topographically distinct and culturally universal bodily sensations; these sensations could underlie our conscious emotional experiences. Monitoring the topography of emotion-triggered bodily sensations brings forth a unique tool for emotion research and could even provide a biomarker for emotional disorders.
This research is another great example of the mind and body connection. Our brain sends signals to the body as we deal with certain situations, causing certain physiological changes without any thought on our part. These bodily sensations in turn could be helping the mind to consciously recognize what emotions we are having. This type of research could help explain why making an effort to smile more or sitting straight instead of slouching can alter our brain, improve our mood, and change our general disposition.
"People look at emotions as something in relation to other people," Antonio Damasio, who is a professor at the University of Southern California, says. "But emotions also have to do with how we deal with the environment — threats and opportunities." For those, Damasio says, you need your body as well as your mind.
(source: NPR)
If you would like to try to map your body's response to your emotions in certain situations, you can do so here.
The full research findings can be viewed here.

While it's too late for me to participate in the test of the body's response, I can fully attest to the spirit of this article. Thank you for this.
The last love of my life I felt in every cell of my body. I was vibrating with him.
Alas, it wasn't meant to be. I don't even understand why. I do know these crazy things happen. When he left me I felt such horror and pain beyond words.
As time has gone by I have purged all of that from my being and have moved on. There's a little bit left in my heart though
Thanks for sharing your pain and your hope whatishappening.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York state has notified 13 gas station operators it's going after them for violating the state law against price gouging, with more enforcement likely following Superstorm Sandy.
The 13 stations include two in Nassau County, three in Suffolk County, two in Westchester County, one in Brooklyn, three in Queens and two in the Bronx.
In market disruptions from events like the storm, vendors are prohibited from charging "unconscionably excessive prices."
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says his office has received "hundreds of complaints" about price gouging.
After the storm, gas was in short supply or stations didn't have electricity to pump it.
Schneiderman says a station in Long Island City, with a posted price of $3.89 per gallon, had a three-block line and the cash price was actually $4.89.

5 Places to Hang a Wreath Indoors
Holiday parties are in full swing, and many of us are searching for creative ways to display a little Christmas cheer before the guests arrive. While a little inventiveness goes a long way when it comes to holiday kitsch, some of the best (and easiest) decorations are the most traditional. So, pick up a wreath — or 10 — and get Christmas-ing!
• Christmas posts by Yvonne from Yvestown blog never ceases to inspire. This year, she covered a faux wreath with Christmas lights and replaced the plug with a connector so that she could turn the lit wreath into a holiday chandelier. She explains that by hard-wiring the lights she's able to turn the wreath on and off with the light switch. Check out her Yvestown blog post for more pictures and details.
• If you like the idea of a lit up overhead wreath chandelier, but are a little daunted by the hard-wiring process, you can get a similar look by slipping a wreath over an existing chandelier or pendant light. Of course, safety comes first, so make sure the light bulb doesn't come into contact with the wreath.
• Sconces work too. This look may be a little too country-ish for most, and if so, try a different variation from the usual evergreen wreath. For more modern looking DIY wreaths, check out these past posts:
8 DIY Wreaths and 10 DIY wreaths from Martha Stewart.
• Empty frames and mirrors are perfect places to add a little holiday flair— a classic favorite that never ceases to be classy.
• Aside form candles in the window, wreaths suspended from windows and french doors are my favorite traditional holiday look. Another Christmas classic that never goes out of style.
Where will you be hanging your wreath this year?

Thank you Yvonne. Beautiful Idea!
The first two are wonderful!
Just check if you hang a wreath on a light fixture that (a) it doesn't get too hot and (b) it doesn't block the light too much. (I tried one on my dining room chandelier last year, and had to take it down because it darkened the table too much. Sad, it was pretty!)
I love all of these ideas for using wreaths around the house! Real wreaths are a nice alternative to a real tree when its not practical to have one. Plus, they're a nice way to adapt a tradition that you likely grew up with, which I happened to blog about today: younghipandhandy.blogspot.com
Cute ideas!
this design blog has other holiday ideas as well:
I propose a ban on the word "classy."
Argh. I love wreaths and other fresh stuff indoors! Unfortunately my cats do as well, so no greenery indoors unless it is eating greens (where the cats get the leavings). (Did I tell you about the 14 lb. manx-cobbie who will attach for kale?).
Great ideas, all! Thanks!
I am using the stick on wall hooks (between two high windows since I live in a basement apt) to hang my wreath and stockings since my apt doesn't have a mantle/fireplace
I love to use wreaths to make centerpieces for each room with different theme.Great ideas!
