"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."
Thursday, May 24, 2012
Final Thoughts for the Merry Month
Every day ask yourself, "What would I do today if I were a better person?"
"You wonder how many times the sun must rise before a pessimist realizes that it's going to keep doing it."
"You never have a friend all figured out. Just when you think you know what makes them tick, they tock."
"I'm not always sure what I saw or heard, but I know what I smelled."
"Few are humble, for it takes a self-esteem few possess."
"Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got."
Start to worry when the clips on the evening news that "some may find disturbing" stop disturbing you.
"If there's anything better than a God-given talent, it's a God-given day job."
"An important thing to get to know about a person is the unspoken ways they say they're sorry."
Sign over the gates of hell: "Doesn't mean you're a bad person."
~~ Robert Brault

I've just discovered your blog and I'm overwhelmed by emotion and respect. So wonderful, so wise.
I like the words on your sidebar: "Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true."
It reminds me of my new year's resolution: Be brave. Be honest. Be kind. I believe those three considerations can help me in any situation and so far they have - sometimes I've been my best when it easier to be my worst. - May 24, 2012 at 9:30 AM

"The average voter is deaf and blind to politics, but a witness may be deaf and blind and still testify to the presence of a skunk."
Too right, Robert! But as my master's late father would have added (though not in the original Latin): "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." - May 25, 2012 at 6:29 AM

Eva, thanks. I've noticed that when the TV anchor says, "The following may be disturbing to some," my dog leaves the room.
BUDDY, I'm a one-eyed man myself, and I certainly live in a land of the blind. Ah, the weight of the crown.

I am LOVING the same one Terra loves -- am teaching a church lesson on that very topic soon and will for sure use that quote. *(and your name will be quoted along with it -- thank you!)
And can I say again that I am loving the calendar? I am going to be sad to turn to page to June because May is my favorite. - May 27, 2012 at 6:55 PM

Terra, Thanks -- although I sometimes wonder about all the things I might say if I knew how to write more than one sentence.

I swear, coming in to work at PETA is like having Christmas every day.
I never know what to expect when I open my email inbox each morning. You can imagine my excitement when I opened it today to see that Duke University has encouraged its entire student body to go vegetarian this month!
Here is the exact email sent out by the Office of the Executive Vice President:
To: Students, Faculty and Staff:
Eating vegetarian is good for your health and the planet. Studies show a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes with a vegetarian diet.
A vegetarian diet also produces less of the greenhouse gases that are causing climate change. Plus, eating vegetarian can usually save you money compared to eating meat.
Don't worry if you're not a fan of salad, a vegetarian diet is much more than veggies and we've got the delicious recipes to prove it.
In February, we challenge you to try eliminating meat from your diet, whether it is for one meal a day, one day a week, or for the entire month.
Accept the Green Devil Challenge by pledging to eat vegetarian.
Make a difference today by taking the Green Devil Challenge: [Sustainable Duke sign-up page]Sustainable Duke
Office of the Executive Vice President
Duke University
Amazing, right?
To help with the transition, we've offered the school thousands of free "Meat's Not Green" leaflets and vegetarian/vegan starter kits, reminding students how easy and tasty meatless meals can be!
I don't know about you, but I know who I'll be cheering for in this year's Final Four …

Korean Patriots Determined * To Snare In Beating Japan By SOON HYUN, Executive Secretary Sino-Korean People's League (Honolulu). 98 Koreans both in and out of Korea have never faced such a golden opportunity as today to realize their national independence, since March 1, 1919, when they were united to declare independence from the unjust and inhuman rule of Japan. Since then, there have been in existence many schools of thought concerning methods of achieving independence. Some uphold non-resistance, like Ghandi of India. Some dream of the accomplishment of Korea's freedom through diplomacy, like certain American-educated Korean scholars. Some pessimistic political leaders of Korea advocate autonomy under the Japanese government. Above all, Koreans cannot forget that there has been constant fighting opposition to the Japanese by unfailing Korean patriots. At Harbin, Manchuria, in 1909, An Chung Kun assassinated Ito Hakubun, the so-called "Father of Modern Japan" who forced the Emperor of Korea to sign the protectorate treaty of 1905. Outside the gate "Sakurada" of the Imperial Palace at Tokio, Lee Bong Chang made a daring attempt on the life of Hirohito in January 1932. In April 1932, the great bombing incident in Hong Kuil Park, Shanghai, which resulted in the death of several important Japanese military leaders, including General Shira- gawa, then commander-in-chief of the Shanghai district, was executed by a lone Korean patriot, Yun Bong Kil. These three direct fearless acts of opposition to the world-wide Fascist enemy have given great impetus to the people struggling for their freedom in Europe no less than the people in the Orient. Guerrillas Work Well There have been many more direct action riots, acts of sabotage, and guerrilla warfare against Japan both in and out of Korea. Moreover, the Independent Korean Unit in Siberia was engaged to fight the Japs during the border clash between Japan and Russia in recent years. There have also been two organized Korean forces fighting the Japs in China side by side with the Chinese army. One is known as the Independence Army under Lee Chung Chun, and the other as the Korean Volunteer Corps under Kim Yak San. These two armed forces have been incorporated under the Chinese military control for united action. Japan's Fate Sealed Since Japan stabbed America in the back on December 7, 1941, she has for the first time in her history been forced to combat a major armed resistance from the United Nations. Today, Japanese pride themselves on the occupation of Hong Kong, Malaya, Burma, N. E. I., the Philippines, and some islands of the Aleutian Group. The United Nations are compelled to hold second fronts both in Europe and Asia. This necessitates enormous war production at home and the stationing of unlimited numbers of troops all over the world. However, when the United Nations advance to destroy the Fascist- powers of Germany and Japan, the latter will undoubtedly be defeated. This will be the ultimate victory which the people of the world expect. Koreans United For Freedom What should we, the Koreans, do to contribute to this great victory for the world's freedom? \ The question has been simplified by the elimination of conflicts among Koreans themselves, both in and out of Korea. They are united to cry, "Let us fight the Japs for our complete independence and full freedom." •■.. However, two claims to the eadership of the Independence novement of Koreans in America itill exist: One insists on recognition by he United States of the Korean *rovisional Government on the ground that such recognition may acilitate the fighting fore*. The other urges all factions to mite immediately to fight the aps wherever possible and with rhateyer limited resources art> accessible. v Such action, they insist, cannot fail to claim the attention of the United Nations and thus lead to recognition of the Provisional Government. Realistically, they place prompt action before diplomatic delay. A timely observation by the famous American newspaper correspondent, Anna Louise Strong,' in her recent l book, "the Soviets Expected It," clearly supports this view. The fol- I lowing is quoted from the book: Contributors To Victory "One thing I know, that this is a world-wide struggle in which all who wish to share in the world's future must now immediately share. , Europe's future will be settled not by governments-in-exile. It will be settled by the acts of Europe's fighting people, who ally themselves with the great battle for the world. It will be settled by the Serbian peasants whose leaders hang from gallows, by Czechs who remained organized under two years of Nazi rule; by that German pastor who spent four years in a concentration camp; by that Norwegian scientist who refused to bow to Hitler; by French workers dying today in Paris, and by German workers and farmers when they have cast off the Nazi yoke." Korea's Great Faith Apart from any differing political theories, one point must be emphasized: That this is a nationwide struggle in Korea in which all who wish to share the nation's future must join. Korea's future will be settled not by any political party or parties in exile! It will be settled by the acts of Korea's fighting people who willingly ally themselves with the United Nations for the world's freedom. It will be settled by the Korean youths who give their precious lives in guerrilla warfare. It will be settled by the young girls who stood very courageously during flogging and torturing by the Jap police for their participation in the national movement. It will be settled by the Korean writers who planted the seeds of revolution among the Koreans through their novels and poems. It will be settled by the Korean Christians who refused to bow before the Sun Goddess of Japan. It will be settled by thousands of Korean workers who burn and destroy muntion factories, oil tanks, airplanes, hangars and communication lines. It will be settled by millions of common people whose slogan is, "Rather die a free and faithful man than live a slave to the Japs." It will be settled by the loyal and faithful leaders who do their utmost for a united action to drive the Japanese armed force out of Asia and the Pacific. There is no division among the Koreans toward this great goal. They are a united people for complete national independence and full freedom.

Even if the weather hasn't quite come around yet, summer is almost here. For many people, that means it's almost time to head - very, very slowly, if you leave on a Friday - to the beach.
For the environmentally conscious, however, a beach vacation is sometimes fraught with guilt. Few places exhibit man's encroachment on nature more clearly than a beach. Turn your back to the ocean, and you see rows of hotels and high-rise condos. Gas-powered jet skis skid across the ocean, and planes drag advertisements through the skies. Seeing trash in the water is depressingly commonplace.
So what can you do to minimize your impact on beaches, without denying your children their fundamental right to boogie board? It turns out that much of what you can do to protect beaches happens before you leave home.
"You live closer to the beach than you think," says Steve Fleischli, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's water program. "Your drain may lead to the ocean or to a river that leads to the ocean."
Have you ever noticed a large pipe draining into the ocean at your favorite beach and wondered what comes out of it? For the most part, it's storm water runoff - rain or snow that falls on concrete or paved surfaces, then finds its way into a drain and out to the beach. Whatever the water encounters on its way into that drain can make its way to the ocean.
"Pick up after your pet," Fleischli recommends. "Don't over-water and fertilize your lawns. Try to retain water on-site at your home with permeable surfaces rather than letting it drain down the driveway. And water your grass, not the sidewalks or street."
And once you're at the beach, stay away from those storm drains. The warm, calm pools of water that accumulate at the end of those pipes may be tempting, especially to children, but Fleischli recommends staying at least 50 yards away from the drains.
The NRDC reported that 8 percent of water samples collected from beaches in 2011 exceeded national standards for harmful bacteria. Storm water runoff was the largest known contributor to the contamination.
The good news is that the Mid-Atlantic boasts some of the cleanest beaches in the country, according to the NRDC report. Dewey and Rehoboth beaches in Delaware received the group's highest rating, as did Maryland's Ocean City at Beach 6. At Hammerman beach at Gunpowder Falls State Park in Maryland, however, 15 percent of samples exceeded national standards for bacterial contamination; at the beach in Elk Neck State Park, also in Maryland, 31 percent of samples failed, due largely to increased waterfowl droppings. A spokesman for the Maryland Department of the Environment says local officials are taking steps to reduce contamination levels at both beaches.
Staying away from drains is the best thing you can do for yourself at the beach, but the best thing you can do for the beach itself is to keep off the dunes. You've seen the signs. Heed them.
"Sandy dunes in barrier islands are a natural protection for the rest of the habitat on the island," says Nick Mallos, a conservation biologist for the Ocean Conservancy. "The grasses and other vegetation that grow there have roots that penetrate into the sand and stabilize the beach habitat." When storms lash the beaches, the dunes keep the sand from sliding into the sea.
Trash, of course, is an obvious eyesore. But beach littering has far-reaching consequences. Mallos says he has seen thousands of dead albatrosses with plastic items such as bottle caps, cigarette lighters and toothbrushes in their stomachs. He recalls seeing a juvenile loggerhead sea turtle trapped in what very likely came from one of the many plastic bags blowing around American beaches. In Mallos's view, it's not enough to throw your trash into garbage cans on the beach, where wind can carry it out of the container and into the sea. Instead, he suggests, take home everything you bring to the beach.
Finally, a word about sunscreen. Researchers have shown that sunscreen can cause coral bleaching, the expulsion of important algae from the hard tissue of a coral reef. Bleaching doesn't kill the reef immediately, but it leaves coral more vulnerable to disease and other stresses. According to some estimates, up to 10 percent of the world's coral reefs may suffer from exposure to sunscreen worn by snorkelers and swimmers. The Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and New Jersey beaches don't feature significant coral reefs, but if your vacation includes a visit to a coral-studded ocean such as the waters off the Florida Keys, be careful about your personal-care products. Always wear sunscreen, but try to avoid heavily touristed beaches with nearby coral reefs.

Ayatollah Hassan Sanei, head of a powerful state foundation providing relief to the poor, said the film would never have been made if the order to execute Rushdie, issued by the late Iranian spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, had been carried out.
Ayatollah Sanei has offered financial rewards for carrying out the edict in the past, he said Muslim anger over the recent film meant the time was now ripe.
"The aim [of the fatwa] has been to uproot the anti-Islamic conspiracy and now the necessity for taking this action is even more obvious than any other time," he said. "I'm adding another $500,000 to the reward and anyone who carries out this order will immediately receive the whole amount." The total bounty is now $3.3m (£2.1 m).
Couple of things:
Here's a question for the International Criminal Court: WHY isn't THIS - the fatwa against Rushdie - being tried under your auspices???
Muslims think by threat and death can silence any oppositions, that's their policiy since 1400 years ago.
Muslims are going to have to accept that their laws and customs may be enforced only in their lands. Other nations owe no apologies to anyone for lawful acts committed outside of al-Islamiyah.
They seem to wish to force the issue. Do they not see the logical outcome: a planetary graveyard ruined for primate habitation? We're doing this slowly already. It could be done with an exchange of atomic weapons in under two hours.
Of course, the real problem with these Muslims -and with the evangelical "Christians" of the West- is their belief in heaven. This earth is a foul pit designed to beguile weak men into committing sins. It is not "life" here. "Life" begins only after this world. Any threat of death is actually welcomed by these "holy martyrs".
And I don't believe in a "kill them all" course of action. I'm a Jew, albeit a non-theistic one. I saw what happened in 1940s Europe and noted it never stopped; it just moved across Africa and Asia from the Mediterranean and Red Seas all the way to the archipelagos of southeastern Asia. Ugandan "witch children"? Mao? Pol Pot? Persian homosexuals? Well, as long as it isn't European Christians being slaughtered ...
They don't want to accept that, Mordekhai. So far as they're concerned, Allah's the god and Mohammed's the prophet and you need to accept that or die. The only difference between them and the christers with their own god and prophet/savior is that, so far, the christers are only selectively violent. For an example, I refer you to Dr. George Tiller.
To both of them, my message is the same: believe as you please, but keep your beliefs off of me and the government. Attempt to coerce either me or the government with your outdated crap and you will have a fight on your hands.
That is not a threat. It's a statement of fact.
@ L. Miller:
Ya goddamn right, amigo. If there's one thing the USA is good at, it's blowing up things. But I don't want to be part of and aggressor nation. OTOH, I would rather see them all dead than "us".
Why has our species let its reach exceed its grasp? We run out of arguments and commence killing. It's easier, I see that. But it's terrible.
If this is the best we can do, we should have stayed swinging through the trees. Earth will not miss us. It is indifferent and time is on its side.
Reach exceeding grasp wasn't a concern, until we became capable of completely eradicating our own species (never mind multiple others!) on a time scale of hours or days, rather than years or decades. Only very few understood the potential represented by atomic power 80 years ago, and the sad fact is, if we hadn't used it or refused to develop it, such secrets don't typically remain "secret" for very long. In any case, the genie is out of that bottle; putting it back is practically impossible.
As many before me have observed, Iran is a country which is centuries behind the west morally, yet wants modern-day weaponry at its disposal. Worse, it is doubtful that it would be reticent in deploying such a weapon once it had one. Should Iran actually develop and deploy such a weapon, the consequences they would face would be catastrophic ... though I am extremely dubious that "consequences" would end there.
Personally, I think we can survive this. The single biggest problem we face is less the nukes than it is people with antiquated thinking patterns, who nevertheless seem to think their thoughts should dominate ... and once again, we're up against the same old rational vs. irrational problem once again. That problem remains at the core of this issue and too many others to name, and until we find some way of resolving it, these conflicts will continue.
Loren, we're screwed. Maximally.
I'm not sure I agree, bro. It's not going to be easy - more on the order of Missiles of October kind of fun, and I don't think this will be sorted without a bomb being dropped - but I think we CAN sort it.
For all their bluster, the Iranians may not have come to grips with what they are facing militarily, and here I'm thinking specifically of "bunker-buster" technology. Give one of their underground labs a taste of such technology and let them know there's more where that came from, and it just may be that Ahmadinejad might rethink. Then again, he may kowtow to the nuts he feels beholden to, and we're off to the races.
The other thing we need to consider is the meeting which happened just before 17 January, 1991, between Tariq Aziz and US Secretary of State James Baker. The way I hear it, Baker told Aziz that ANY deployment of a weapon of mass destruction (meaning chemical, biological, or nuclear device) would be responded to IN KIND. Whether Iraq had such weapons at the time or not, that this statement came from the one country which has deployed atomic weapons may have given Hussein and company a bit of pause.
I'm not suggesting we go nuclear on Iran. Frankly, I don't think we have to. Between fuel-air devices and bunker-busters, we have all the means we need to put a serious dent in whatever activities the Iranians are entertaining. There is also the example of the Gulf and Iraq wars to remind the Iranians of our capabilities in this direction and MAYBE get them to see reason.
Yeah, I know: this is me being hopeful. But if they wanna be stupid, they can pay the price for being stupid ... and with that, we may all pay a price. But again, I'm an engineer, not a diplomat nor a strategist. And as Gust Avrakotos' Zen master said:
"We'll see..."
@ L. Miller
Iran is NOT a martyr-state. They very much want to keep on going. But they may not, as you observe, truly grasp what's at stake. Once we start bombing them they will be reduced to medieval technology. Since this will bring their reality in line with their world view it might not be so terrible. But I don't want to bomb anybody who doesn't absolutely need to be bombed.
We will see what happens. I hope we come out of this without more bloodshed. I also hope we don't let those paranoid freaks (in Iran, I mean) have their way.
Hey, I don't want to reduce them to the medieval level, either, and my point is we may not have to. If we can demonstrate to them that a struggle against us is futile (again, reference the Gulf War), they may get it.
On the other hand, they may react as the savages of Taurus Two did (Star Trek: TOS - "The Galileo Seven") and once again, we're on our merry way.

Currency reserves
Using reserves to stabilize currency How a central bank could use foreign currency reserves to keep its own currency from devaluing
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In the last video we saw however we wanted country A to get excited about investing in country B,
- they wanted to convert their currency into country B's currency.
- And left to it's own devices, with this new demand for currency B,
- it would have made currency B more expensive.
- But instead of allowing that to happen, the central bank of country B said:
- "No, no, no, no. I want to keep the exchange rates relatively stable,
- so I'm going to print B's and use those to buy up A".
- And so in the end of that video, the central bank of country B ended up with foreign currency reserves,
- it ended up with some of A's currency in it's balance sheet.
- What I wanna do in this video is think about what happens if demand goes the other way?
- And how could the central bank use its foreign currency reserves
- to prevent its currency from devaluating.
- So, let's go to the next stage in this little hypothetical story here.
- Let's say people in A, so all this investment happened in country B, everyone was all excited,
- probably a bubble was forming of some kind.
- And then, all of a sudden, people of the investors in country A start to get a little bit scared
- they start to hear reports of the bubble forming,
- they start to realise that conditions in country B weren't as good as
- they thought it might have been...
- Initially, they start to panic and they start going to unwind their investments
- so whatever they had in country B they wanna sell it
- they get B's currency for it, and they wanna convert that to their home currency
- so now you have the reverse situation of what we saw on the last video.
- Everyone wants so sell their B's, so they invested in country B,
- maybe they bought some real state there, they're gonna sell their real state
- and they're gonna get B for it.
- And then they're going to get out of that country's currency.
- They're going to wanna convert that money back into A.
- But this is the opposite situation.
- Now everyone wants to run out of country B
- and there isn't a lot of supply of A in return.
- And no one's really looking to trade A for B now.
- The market is going completely in the opposite direction.
- Now, if, once again, foreign exchange markets were allowed to float freely,
- what would happen?
- Well, in this situation, all the demand is in for the A's
- and all supplies on the B, so you would have either more (let me write this)
- fewer A's per B, or you could have more B's per A.
- In general, A has now become more expensive in terms of B
- or B has become cheaper in terms of A.
- But let's say you're the central bank and you're like "I don't like this either"
- Now, all of a sudden, specially if usually in unwinding
- this panic happens as much faster and in more dramatic fashion than the initial face over here
- You say: "Oh my God, people in our country, they might not be able to, if this were to happen,
- foreign imports would become so expensive people might not be able to even affort food
- that we have to import from other countries or essential suplies from other countries".
- So they say: "No, we're going to intervene. We were able to accumulate
- some of this foreign country reserves and so we can use those now to try to stabilize our currency".
- So in this situation, what the central bank would to is say:
- "Okay, I've got some reserves of A. What I'm going to do is I'm going to do to the open market
- and also sell my reserves of A and try to equalize the supply and the demand".
- And so once again if they're able to sell this reserves,
- now, all of a sudden, their currency will not devalue
- or maybe not devalue as much.
- Now, the one kink in the system here is that they only have a finite amount of reserves.
- This, right over here, is finite.
- In the previous video, when we saw that they were printing their own currency to buy,
- to build reserves, they could do this all day all night,
- because they have the right to print as much as their own currency as they want.
- But now they're using reserves of someone else's currency to keep their own currency from being devalued.
- But they can't print someone else's currency.
- So they're hoping that what they have on hand is enough to fight this
- (what they're probably percieving as a short imbalance)
- but it could be scary. What happens if all of this currency runs out?
- Then they blow all of their currency reserves and if this kind of panic keeps occuring,
- then you're going to go back to the free market forces and their currency will have to devalue.
- So that's how central banks attempt to keep their currencies relativaly stable.
- In future videos we'll go through real cases of when this hapened and what exactly happened
- when the foreign currency reserves ran out
- and how speculators could use their knowledge to essentially
- make an easy speculative bug.
Be specific, and indicate a time in the video:

In 1933, as Joseph Stalin was busy purging his enemies and building a murderous cult of personality, the New York-based left-wing magazine the Nation advised readers interested in traveling to Moscow that Intourist, the Soviet Union's official travel agency, employed as tour guides "very interesting and attractive young women without hats," skilled in correcting misinformation spread by the capitalist media. Although the hatless apparatchiks from Intourist limited sightseeing to approved destinations -- Ukraine, at the apogee of its brutal famine, was off-limits -- they were nevertheless adept at obtaining "special permits" from the predecessor of the KGB, which, the Nation noted, "far from being a band of terrorist police, is an extremely able and intelligent organization, always glad to help tourists."
Even long after Stalin's crimes were revealed in Nikita Khrushchev's 1956 secret speech, the migratory "fellow traveler" persisted, shuffling between failed utopias and dropping in at model collective farms and labor camps. During the Cold War, this sort of ideological tourism was almost exclusively a progressive domain; the sugar-cane plantations of Cuba heaved with vacationing European and American compañeros, but few free market acolytes turned up in Augusto Pinochet's Chile to witness pension privatization or marvel at his market liberalization program. Even in the Soviet Union's final days, Hungarian-American academic Paul Hollander noted, a number of companies still offered educational trips to Cuba, Vietnam, Grenada, and Nicaragua. And years after the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall and the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, ideological dead-enders could still join expensive "reality tours" of Fidel Castro's Cuba or Hugo Chávez's Venezuela.
These days, the young and progressive book travel online, eschewing tour groups and specialized travel agents. This leaves the task of a travelers' political education to guidebook empires like Lonely Planet and Rough Guides, both of which -- while offering what Lonely Planet calls "honest and objective" advice on where to find the perfect pisco sour in Peru or that slice of beach paradise in Cambodia -- provide detailed, polemical asides on the political history and culture of the countries under review.
Lonely Planet was started in 1975, when the British hippie husband-and-wife team Maureen and Tony Wheeler self-published a guide to cheap travel in Southeast Asia. Mark Ellingham, also British, founded the competing Rough Guides in 1982 after finding existing guidebooks too thin on the "politics and contemporary life" of travel destinations. Both companies have been astoundingly successful. Rough Guides has sold more than 30 million books over the last 25 years, transforming itself from a publisher of travel guides into a global business empire, producing television programs, music albums, and dozens of other titles (like The Rough Guide to Conspiracy Theories). In 2010, Lonely Planet, now wholly owned by BBC Worldwide, sold its 100-millionth book. It too has branched into television, radio, and magazines.
Both guidebook empires have also made their founders very rich -- Lonely Planet was sold for well over $100 million -- though this has induced a certain amount of introspection. Lonely Planet's Wheeler now says he feels guilty about traveling because of the airline industry's contribution to global warming. And Ellingham, who has published The Rough Guide to Climate Change, says his business "must encourage travellers to travel less." They may be wealthy, making their money off an industry that's causing grievous harm to the Earth, but they certainly haven't left their liberal politics behind.
TO ESTABLISH THE quality of the political education they're serving up to a new generation of travelers, it's useful to begin by skimming their guidebooks for undemocratic countries like Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
There's a formula to them: a pro forma acknowledgment of a lack of democracy and freedom followed by exercises in moral equivalence, various contorted attempts to contextualize authoritarianism or atrocities, and scorching attacks on the U.S. foreign policy that precipitated these defensive and desperate actions. Throughout, there is the consistent refrain that economic backwardness should be viewed as cultural authenticity, not to mention an admirable rejection of globalization and American hegemony. The hotel recommendations might be useful, but the guidebooks are clotted with historical revisionism, factual errors, and a toxic combination of Orientalism and pathological self-loathing.
For instance, readers of Lonely Planet: Libya -- published before the recent unpleasantness -- are told that Libya's murderous dictator, Muammar al-Qaddafi, was likely framed for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. In fact, the book relates, "One of the most credible theories was that the bombing had been ordered by Iran in retaliation for the shooting down of an Iran Air airbus by a US warship in the Persian Gulf on 3 July 1988." Qaddafi is cast as a misunderstood figure ("A recurring theme throughout Colonel Qaddafi's rule has been his desire for unity with other states, all to no avail"), unfairly maligned by Western governments ("ordinary Libyans suffered [under sanctions] and the world rebuffed repeated Libyan offers to hand over the Lockerbie suspects for trial"), and the victim of media unfairness ("Western reporters, keen for any opportunity to trivialise the eccentricities of Libya under Qaddafi, referred to [his bodyguards] as the 'Amazon Women'").

Fleeing U.S. law enforcement and stuck in a Moscow airport, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden seems stuck for where to go from here.
CNN Travel advises which countries should be on his list ...
1. Iceland
Iceland makes for an excellent fugitive destination, particularly for someone with a wintry name such as Snowden. It professes a love for Internet freedoms and once checkmated extradition efforts by offering citizenship to tax-evading U.S. chessman Bobby Fischer.
For Snowden it might feel chilly after Hawaii, Hong Kong and midsummer Moscow, but he could easily warm up with a dip in the geothermal waters of the Grindavik Blue Lagoon.
Why stay: Ash-spewing volcanoes could help to shroud actual whereabouts.
Why leave: New laws to aid whistleblowers aren't yet in place. Also, they eat puffins.
2. Ecuador
It's a two-way deal: exiles get a subtropical shelter while Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa gets to burnish anti-American credentials and gain a distraction from his clampdowns on press freedom.
Why stay: Plenty of Inca ruins and colonial Spanish buildings to admire.
Why leave: Ecuador still has an extradition deal with the United States.
3. The UK
It might be heavily in diplomatic hock to Washington, but the UK remains a popular place of refuge -- particularly among Russian exiles drawn by its liberal outlook, robust legal system and miserable weather.
Despite security cameras on every corner, plenty of people have managed to lose themselves in London. And if all else fails, it has an Ecuadorian embassy, although since Julian Assange has already snagged the spare room, you'll be on the sofa.
Why stay: Strong tradition of political radicalism
Why leave: Did we mention the awful weather?
4. The Philippines
The Filipino police have a strong track record of helping foreign agents hunt down their quarry, but with more than 7,000 islands to choose from, it could take them some time.
Why stay: Boracay's beaches, Banaue's scenic rice terraces and -- as it happens -- more colonial Spanish architecture!
Why go: Corruption. Even if you're not on the lam, you'll still be bilked for backhanders.
5. Spain
Southern Spain's enduring popularity among expat UK villains has earned its coastline the unfortunate soubriquet of "Costa del Crime." A spate of arrests has tarnished its appeal, though.
Why stay: The sunshine, the paella, the sangria.
Why leave: British pubs selling greasy breakfasts to greasier Brits. Abject lack of Spanish colonial architecture.
6. France

I have decided to make the move from windows to ubuntu, however I'm having problems with my boot up, either really slow or the system hangs at a certain point after I choose which os to boot. I'm dual booting with win 7 at the moment, hopefully to get rid of win 7 :) I have tried 12.10 also, both from usb and alongside windows but also same problem. With 12.04 I notice that the system hangs only when I choose my os when the timer either runs down or I select the os manually, after I reset the pc it loads back up (eventually) and no timer appears...anyway I updated my bios incase, but never resolved it.Basic system specs are: CPU = AMD athlon II X4 630 Motherboard = Biostar TA785GE 128M RAM = DDR2 Dual channel 4GB Graphics = ATI Radeon HD 4200
I tried to attach my bootchart but wasn't allowed as I'm a new user.

i found a love for latex over the past couple of years. i like how it looks, how it shines, how it sounds. i like the process of putting latex on, the lubes the powders the gentle handling of the fabric. i've never considered myself good at any sort of fashion photography, but love to photograph hot women in latex. so here are some kind of fashiony kind of fetishy images that i have taken over the past year:
this is Sienna Aldrige. i first met Sienna @ a fetish event thrown by Fixe Magazine. she is beautiful and kind but still as vixen as they come, and oh those legs…she is running for Miss Rubberworld 2011, which is held in NYC in january.
i met Goddess Narcissa @ a Fixe event a ways back, she was whipping the piss out of a slave. it took me about three months to say hello, i was that intimidated by her. we since have collaborated on a few photo shoots. she is just hot and all things wicked…
Ms Olivia Black has been a friend of mine for quite some time. and i love to photograph her. the first shoot we did was years ago in chicago for what at the time was the Chicago Mistresses run by a very old friend of mine Miss Gia Maze. Gia and Olivia were in a performance art group Pain Kurst Girls for a while. they did all sorts of crazy creative shit on stage, really extreme and unique and artful.
here are some Olivia images. the open faced hood is a Vex design and the blue leggings are The Baroness design.

I am sitting here slowly draining an adult beverage as I write this. This day began horribly with the shooting in Aurora Colorado that thus far has resulted in 12 deaths and 59 wounded. Then it was made even worse by the utterly demented opining of Brian Ross and George Stephanopoulos that the shooting could be linked the Tea Party.
