Chinese geologist Fan Xiao links the recent Ya'an earthquake in China to the massive Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, which may have been induced by the filling of the Zipingpu reservoir. Now scientists warn that more earthquakes can be expected in this seismically active region, and that the government's large dams plans may contribute to these disasters.

On March 22 – World Water Day – a Ngäbe-Bugle indigenous man named Onesimo Rodriguez was found murdered, his body left in a nearby stream, after attending a protest rally against the 28.84 MW Barro Blanco Hydroelectric Project in western Panama. Tensions have been mounting in recent years as the dam draws closer to completion, despite the unresolved issues around the dam's impacts and the poor stakeholder consultation processes led by the project's proponents.

Photojournalist Rick Gerharter visited the Ngäbe-Buglé communities in Panama in February. His delegation documented their stories and the potential impacts of the Barro Blanco Dam, which if completed, would flood the lands and threaten the livelihoods of over 5,000 indigenous inhabitants. Last Friday, a member of the Ngobe community was murdered and one left seriously injured after a protest against the dam and its human rights violations.

The Amur-Heilong River is one of the world's ten largest rivers. It is also one of the last free-flowing rivers left on the planet. While few have heard of it, the Amur has incredible global significance. It traverses a diverse range of forest, grassland and taiga ecosystems that support at least 2,800 plant and 500 animal species on the Russian side alone.

In 2003, a group of brave NGO activists, journalists and academics set out to protect one of Asia's last largely free-flowing river – the Nujiang (or the "Angry River," also known as the Salween) – from 13 planned dams. Dr. Yu Xiaogang, Goldman Prize winner and director of the Yunnan-based Green Watershed, was one of them.

The Gibe III Dam (now about half complete) is being built with Chinese support and financing. International Rivers released the story to our Chinese audiences to raise their awareness of the global footprint of their country's dam builders and financial institutions. Meanwhile, Chinese audiences may see many similarities between the Ethiopian dam and development projects within China.

The theme for this year's World Water Week is Water and Food Security, which means that many – particularly within the dam industry – will be calling for more dams to provide water storage and energy. Dams, and particularly multi-purpose dams (which are meant to provide some combination of electricity, water supply and flood control), are "back in fashion"

Over a dozen World Heritage Sites threatened by planned or existing dams were reviewed at this year's World Heritage Committee meeting, held in St. Petersburg, Russia. While the Committee's decisions showed clear recognition of the threat that dam building poses to the natural and cultural heritage embodied by these sites, it failed to protect one of the most dam-threatened properties: Lake Turkana in Kenya.

China's largest and the world's third largest river, the Yangtze, is home to some of China's most important freshwater species. The Yangtze used to contribute to 70% of China's freshwater catch annually. However, aggressive hydropower development has reduced the size and degraded the quality of this aquatic haven.

Scientists in China have discovered the world's fifth species of snub-nosed monkey in the Nu River Valley. More widely known as the Myanmar Snub-nosed Monkey since it was first discovered in northeast Burma, this rare species has been dubbed the "Nu River snub-nosed monkey" in Chinese by scientists, who confirmed their relation to the Burmese species through a DNA analysis of their excrement collected near the Nu River in Yunnan province. However, only 300 individuals may be left. Among the threats to their habitats are poaching, logging, road construction, and other intrusive human activities. While nature reserves protect many of its natural habitats, they have not entirely dissuaded both public and private enterprises from developing in this fragile region.

Children by the Salween River in Thailand, International Day of Action for Rivers 2012Hundreds of kilometers downstream from where I was this time last year, on this International Day of Action for Rivers it became clear to me that a major reason why communities in Burma and Thailand are opposed to dam building on the Salween River is because of their children.Half of those gathered on March 14 along the Salween's banks in a small village in Thailand were kids. Dressed in traditional attire, they danced and sang for an audience of over 200 villagers, artists, activists, journalists, and experts from Thailand, Burma and China. They lit candles that formed a river in the sand. They prayed with Buddhist monks. For me, the abstract phrase "rivers for the future" suddenly became grounded in real concerns: Where would the children go to school if they were displaced by the proposed Salween dams? What jobs could children fleeing the conflict spurred by these dams in Burma get if they lived undocumented in Thailand? Would they have land to farm and fish to catch? What is truly lost when they lose their ties to their birthplace?

Mount Kawagebohttp://nomadchina.wordpress.comMount Kawagebo (or Kawagarbo) rises 6,740 meters above sea level – the tallest peak in Yunnan Province, China. Its eastern side is part of the Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Area UNESCO World Heritage Site (whose rivers – the Nu, Lancang, and Jinsha – are under threat by a number of proposed dam and mining projects). It is one of the most sacred mountains in Tibetan Buddhism and is visited by 20,000 pilgrims each year. To the local people, who also act as stewards of the sacred mountain, any destruction of the mountain body is unthinkable.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is meant to catalyze climate-friendly and sustainable projects in low-income countries. Instead, it's provided massive subsidies to hydropower developers while increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Through deception and abuse of the system, at least two-thirds of all CDM projects are likely not additional, and more are slipping in each year. In an attempt to cure its ills during the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, the CDM Executive Board has initiated a year-long policy dialogue. Having failed to reach any decisions about reform at Durban, the CDM policy panel members will examine unresolved issues ranging from stronger rules for public participation to an appeals procedure. Of particular concern to the global movement for rivers is ensuring that the CDM imposes greater limitations on large hydropower projects, which are more likely to create enormous environmental and social problems for local communities than smaller community-driven decentralized projects.

EU demonstrationknowledge.allianz.comDurban is over, the delegates have all either gone home or are enjoying the sunny South African weather, and serious actions to curb rising emissions have again been shunted down the road. (You can read more about the results at Durban on our colleague Payal Parekh's blog.) However, progress is being made on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – albeit slowly – to address some of its most serious flaws, including how to deal with non-additional, "hot air" projects in the world's largest emissions trading scheme, the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS).

Increase of credits from large hydro expected by 2020A new study released in time for the climate negotiations in Durban confirms that over 20% of all carbon credits under the UN's offsetting scheme, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), could come from business-as-usual large hydropower projects. This is not surprising considering that hydropower is heavily supported and subsidized in many countries, especially in China and India, who host a combined 78% of all the registered hydropower projects in the CDM. Large hydro projects are projected to generate 2 billion
carbon credits by 2020, which could be a lot of hot air.

Nam Leuk Reservoir, an ADB-funded projectChina International Water & Electricity CorpOne of the first reservoir emissions studies ever to be conducted in Southeast Asia has just been published, and the results may be a wake-up call to dam builders trying to win carbon credits for hydropower projects in Southeast Asia. The international team of researchers spent two years measuring the greenhouse gas emissions from two sub-tropical reservoirs in Laos, the Nam Ngum and the Nam Leuk reservoirs (the latter of which diverts water from the Nam Leuk River to the Nam Ngum Reservoir). What they found was that at Nam Leuk, "GHG emissions are still significant 10 years after impoundment" and that the emissions values were comparable to other tropical reservoirs. The annual carbon export (including both diffusion into the atmosphere from the reservoir and from downstream) amounted to about 2.2 ±1.0 gigagrams of carbon per year. While much less than a coal-fired power plant, this is still roughly equal to the emissions from the electricity use of over a thousand US homes, which is far from insignificant.

Gaming the environmentFriends of the EarthAs Wall Street and the EU continue to reel under the crisis brought on by the financial deregulation of global markets, a recent report on the EU's carbon market shows just how far these (mal)practices have spread. "Letting the market play: corporate lobbying and the financial regulation of EU carbon trading," co-produced by Carbon Trade Watch and Corporate Europe Observatory, reveals how under-regulation in a market mechanism meant to reduce global carbon emissions led to fraud and over-speculation. The EU is currently changing its rules in response, but corporate lobbies continue to try to influence this process. Ultimately, the author Oscar Reyes concludes that such reforms are bound to fall short, since
they attempt to "regulate the unregulatable."

A recent WikiLeaks cable from the US Consulate in Mumbai provides irrefutable evidence that carbon credits generated by Indian projects and sold to European countries under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are a lot of hot air. It reports on a seminar in 2008 with the US Consulate General Office, analysts from the Government Accountability Office (which later released a critical report on offsets), and the executives of top Indian companies. The cable notes that these companies "conceded that no Indian project could meet the 'additionality in investment criteria' to be eligible for carbon credits."

Works GreatPros: Crystal clear, no issues in storage, easy to go from one to the other. Cons: None I can think of. Other Thoughts: We've had this for over two years, still use it a couple of times a month. No issues. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fantastic Zoom LensPros: I have a Canon Rebel EOS XTi Digital camera and I've been using a 28 - 90 lens that came with my wife's Canon 35mm film camera. This lens is great not only because of the telephoto capacity but the IS makes it even easier to take shots on the fly without getting blurry images. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |
Fantastic DealPros: I own a 9 year old D SLR. I treated myself to a new one and upgraded my telephoto lens. This lens is physically smaller in mm diameter than my 135 lens. It is the same length and only 1/2 oz heaver. Great lens. It has stability control. Price / everyone else wanted $100 more Cons: There were none Did you find this review helpful? |
Very nice lens!Pros: I ordered this lens for my Canon Rebel T3 after waiting a long time for the price to get in my range. It's a fine lens for sure! Yeah I know it has a plastic ring, but hey- I cannot afford to buy the other brands that use a metal ring. Why Canon doesn't use a metal ring just doesn't make sense to me. The lens works just fine for what I want to do with it. I had to go right out after I received it and take some pictures. The auto focus worked well and the image stabilizer did it's job well also. It shipped to me in a very timely manner and it was in fine shape when it arrived at my door. I want to say Thank You to Newegg, as they are a great site to get good deals; although sometimes you have to be patient to get that good price. And I like to read all the reviews when shopping for an item as it can very helpful when making a decision. I will put in another review in a few months when I can get alot more use from this lens. But for now I am very happy with my purchase. Cons: So far the only con and it's not that big a deal unless your really using your camera professionally is the base ring is plastic and why Canon chose to cheap out on that- I don't understand... 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works perfectly with the T3Pros: Great combo to have with my Canon Rebel T3, crisp and sharp photos. Easy to use and well worth the money. Cons: None Other Thoughts: if i could i would of uploaded a photo or 2 i have taken with this lens with my Canon Rebel T3, been told they look professional. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
LOVE LOVE LOVEPros: this with the 50mm f/1.8 you dont really need any more lenses to take gorgeous pictures. they are both realtivly inexpensive, and they are super fast. You will love the images that come out of this lens. Cons: not a one. Did you find this review helpful? |
Love this lensPros: Cheap (compared to those other lenses), IS, zoom is pretty darn far. Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: Just picked this up a few weeks ago along with my new external flash. Zooms far and taken about a 1000 pictures so far with it. Holding up so far so I can't complain about anything just yet! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Takes Very Good PhotosPros: Although I've had this lens for about 7 months I haven't used it very often so can't speak to it's durability but every time I have used it I was extremely pleased with the results. Reasonably fast for a telephoto and great pictures. Cons: I compulsive look for flaws in anything I purchase. With this lens the only negative I can find is that the mount is not metal. With occasional use I doubt that this will make a difference. Maybe just as durable Other Thoughts: I compared this to a 80-300 canon without stabilization and it makes a big difference on a telephoto for handheld shots. The stabilization works great. Would want a telephoto with out it 2 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Lens! Do your homework..Pros: Awesome lens..I bought from Walmart which had the same price as Newegg so why wait? I love Newegg but Walmart online is selling this model for $50 less right now. Im surprised Newegg is allowing this to happen. Cons: No matter where you get this lens..you're going to love it. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Canon T2iPros: Well made, holds up to humid weather very well. Cons: screen shuts off if HDMI is plugged in Other Thoughts: Performed very well on a Documentary trip to Costa Rica and Panama. Survived hot humid conditions, travel, white water rafting class 4 rapids and jungle hikes. I never had any problems with types of cards, or writing speeds. Battery life was excellent. 0 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

I do a lot of hill climbing and knowing the steepness of hills is an important aspect of gauging the difficult of a climb. Other than the laborious task of measuring distances and elevations on a topo map, there aren't a lot of easy ways to do this. The Sky-Mounti inclinometer is the least expensive and easiest method I've found. Its main limitation is that judging steepness to within one percent is sometimes difficult, since the tick marks on the level are very close together and the bubble shifts slightly with minor accelerations and decelerations. But plus or minus a percent or so, it works great. Alternatively, I've found a good cyclometer/altimeter, the VDO MC 1.0+, that gives percent grade as a readout and seems to work very well. But it costs >$100.

To the Editor:
Thanks for the new hospital addition in Cloquet. Having recently spent over a week at this facility, I was pleasantly amazed at all the new improvements to the patients' rooms that made for increased comfort and faster service.
I had a hand control to call a nurse and buttons to change bed positions, control heat, TV and lights. Articles in the room were wiped clean during the day to prevent germs being spread.
My stay was comfortable and recovery was fast. Thanks to all the knowledgeable people who were called upon to help.

Feel free to just use prawns...the flavor will change of course (as there will be no flavor from the mussels or scallops) but it will still be delicious!
Just add more prawns and start the recipe when it says to add the mirepoix (this happens at 1:14 in step 3 of the video recipe). Hope this helps!
In almost every instance that a recipe calls for chicken stock, you can replace it with Vegetable Stock.
It wasnt disaster but it turn out okay. scallops were undercook, forgot to put the fish sauce. loved the valoute sauce found it easy to do. the dish look so pretty (BIG SCALLOPS BIG PRAWN AND MUSSLE WOW) so happy I even tried to cook it wasnt scared at all to take that first step setting everything and preparing everything . WOW experience in accually trying something and not caring how it turn out but just trying alone made me so happy I FINALLY FOUND LOVE IN COOKING (the drive to looking n accually keep trying to make it perfect for next time around makes me appreciate today for tommorow)
The interesting thing is that I'm going to make a Thai Green curry (not from scratch, though... shhhh!) - The prawns are still moving and kicking... it has been at least 8 or 9 hours. It's about 12 buckeroos a pound at Granville Island. Got a half a pound. Wish me the best!
Actually when I marinate prawns in lemon, vinegar, and garlic to fry them the taste wonderful, but I don't know why when I use them the same way but stir-fry them or cook them any other way, I get that fishy taste or smell, what can I do to get rid of it, other than marinate them in lemon cause I already did :S
Fresh prawns should not smell or taste fishy. It might be helpful to watch the lesson on How to Buy and Store Fish. Many of the concepts taught here apply to shellfish.
If the prawns really smell off and you dislike them, I would take them back to the market that you purchased them from. Ask to smell the prawns before you buy them...and make sure to store them properly once you bring them home. Also, use cook them preferably the same day. Cheers!
There will always be a certain degree of "fishy" smell that comes along with cooking fish and shellfish...but it should be a pleasant smell. It is just the nature of cooking fish/shellfish. One cooking method over the other will not substantially reduce the smell. Cheers!
This could be such a good illustration of how a wonderful dish may be improvised without following a specific recipe. The velouté is used as a base for a small sauce where the traditional "french" mirepoix is substituted for what you have recommended in one of the lessons will result in an "asian" flavor: garlic, ginger, lemongrass and of course the Thai curry paste. By using general principles, a unique dish was created that was oh so excellent.
The feeling of suddenly understanding how everything fits together is really wonderful. What used to be butter and flour, ginger etc, is now roux, mirepoix etc. Great!
While we have not made this particular recipe using coconut cream instead of velouté, I am sure that you could use substitute one for the other. Just note that the sauce may be thinner, depending on the coconut cream and how much you reduce it. Also, depending on how much coconut cream you use, it could be quite rich.
This is where you will need to experiment a bit. For example, you may want to try starting with a roux for added body. If you don't want to use butter, then you could use something like coconut oil as the fat in the roux. Essentially, you would still be making a velouté, you would just be using coconut cream/milk instead of regular milk. Hope that helps. Cheers!

The Longboat Key Town Commission knows it has a major problem with its three pension plans.
But it's not sure how to fix a growing unfunded liability problem that has town taxpayers responsible for at least $21 million in unfunded liabilities.
At a special pension workshop Monday, Nov 16, the Town Commission heard from its actuary, pension attorney and a financial management director regarding the problems it faces with its three pension plans.
Before any discussion, however, the commission continued to hear negative reports about its pension plans and received no clear direction on how to solve the problem without spending a large amount of money.
Town pension attorney James Linn, of Lewis Longman & Walker, told the commission the total annual costs for the town's police, firefighter and general employee pension plans total $2.2 million per year, about 30% of the town's payroll costs and 15% of the general fund's operating budget.
The town can reduce benefits to its employees, increase employee contributions, terminate the plans or freeze them, Linn said. However, any of those options won't cure the problem.
"There is no silver bullet that's going to fix your problem," he said.
Reducing benefits for all employees, Linn said, is the only way to significantly create an immediate cost savings that will reduce unfunded liabilities.
For more information about the four hour meeting and the commission's discussion, pick up a copy of the Nov. 19 edition of The Longboat Observer.
Contact Kurt Schultheis at email@example.com.

- Longboat Key taxes make up 11.98% of your property tax bill. If we raise our taxes by .005% we could make a significant contribution to the unfunded liability we have for pensions and at the same time ask our employees to make a similiar contribution to their pensions which over time could cure the problem.

Big Papi's Mercedes To Sell For Big Bucks
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions, Celebrity Shopping
Wow, this puts Tom Brady's Mercedes to shame. Red Sox heavy hitter David Ortiz, also known as Big Papi, is having a great response to the auction of his 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. Ortiz bought the 604-horsepower convertible for $205,000 and then spent another $35,000 souping it up with custom wheels and an improved stereo system. It was a treat to himself after the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. The car has just over 4,000 miles on it and has had a pampered life. Who knows what led Ortiz to put the car on eBay, hoping for a new purchase perhaps? Fans and cars lovers have been going wild over the auction which ends today. Last time I looked it was at $465,500. The winner will receive the car personally from Ortiz.

I love this place - intimate, with quality wine and nice platters to share... I have many great memories of this place - a great spot to catch up with friends.
Gaelle Tue Oct 29Rated as: 5/5 -
Anyone who's been here wouldn't recognise it from the review (which makes it sound mundane). This is very simply one of the few few 70s/80s style wine bars left in London and as such is unmissable. Wine is unbelievable value; the owner picks up much of the French wine direct from the producers on his biannual trips there and cellars it himself. So the mark up on your wine, rather than simply offering a quick profit for the restaurant is paying for his buying expertise and the time he has given over to its storage. The food is also locked in a delicious time warp - you might find the likes of smoked haddock salad, broccoli and cheese quiche or boeuf bourguignon on the menu alongside another dozen or so options and the below-mentioned impeccable cheeseboard. Decor, too is reminiscent of a different age. No sign of gastro-pub or All-Bar-1- isation here. If this place was in Soho it would be the talk of the town. But it's not - it's in Shepherds Bush. This means you can go there and almost certainly find yourself a seat. My advice is: do. before it's too late
Mike Tivnen Thu Nov 22 2012Rated as: 4/5 -
The wine was ok but overpriced - but the food was truly terrible, lacking any flavour at all. The staff were rude and were intent on chatting at the bar rather than providing service. enter at your peril.
John F Mon Nov 12 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
Terrible food. Terrible service. Far too much money spent and the owner it's rude and unpleasant! Strongly recommend not to go there ever!
Shaula Sat Nov 10 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
I took my friend here a few weeks ago as I remembered I had loved it on my visit a year or so back. it was a special occasion so we ordered an expensive bottle of champagne, which was heavenly. Unfortunately we found the staff unattentive and arrogant and just standing at the bar talking very loudly, one girl in particular who was quite rude when we went to ask for more bread for the cheese board. There was also a dead cockroach in the toilets, which needed a good clean! I real shame as the ambience last time was so nice, but I don't think I would go back now.

Great wine bar with a very special wine list. I love it here.
John Cottrell Sun Oct 30 2011Rated as: 5/5 -
This place is a gem if you want to wind away a few hours drinking fabulous wine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I recommend the cheeseboard.

My life circles around one fundamental question: "Will my ass fit there?"
I realized that if I wanted to make my time in the airport as easy and cheap as possible, I needed to get my act together and learn how to pack a carry-on like an adult.
travel clothes
I want to look pulled together when I fly. I've recently accepted that I do not. When I go home for the holidays I go in style: sweat pants and Uggs with wool socks.
civil liberties
I'm not going to be party to any "security" that in actuality is based on nothing more than institutionalized bigotry and acculturated fears.
We know, arguing that airport security is racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. is hardly anything new.

Time for the grandchildren
Those who are fortunate enough to have grandchildren will know what a huge amount of pleasure they can bring; they will also know that it's great to be able to hand them back to their parents at the end of the day! You might want to share some of your hobbies with your grandchildren or take them to some of your favourite places; you may also wish to support your children financially as they start families of their own. Although retirement is generally considered to be a time of reduced expenditure, you may find that your outgoings in the first years of retirement actually increase as a result of the patter of all these tiny feet! Regular meetings with your Financial Planner will help to ensure that your income is sufficient to be able to treat your grandchildren as and when you want to. |

I have to admit, approving his appointment is almost worth it for the schadenfreude of seeing him humiliated around the world.
Gigolo John betrayed his country - the Russians know of his meddling at the Paris peace talks, undeserved medals and his pretentious pap.To quote his predecessor -"what difference does it make?He is an empty man representing an empty chair-why should the Russians bother?A fraudulent POTUS has a fraudulent SOS- time to expose both and restore America.
Russia´s way of saying "Gengis Carry just can´t suck enough!" while pushing the Hillbag´s Reset Button with their middle finger!
The Russkies are simply being more "flexible" for Obama´s second term. Kerry can say "We tried, they just wouldn´t pick up the phone". It´s a 21st Century excuse the lofos can dig, like "My dog ate the homework". Libs don´t do homework.
It´s hard to tell if the snub is on kerry or Obama.Whatever happened to the days of Bush and Pooty Poot?
You cannot humiliate someone that has no sense of shame.
Does anyone in this world take the joker in the whitehouse seriously? Obviously, from the treatment of his secretaries of state, the answer would be no. Yet some people seriously considered/are considering those two individuals fit for the oval office. Lofo voters indeed.
The Russkies are nobody´s fools! They know it will be a complete waste of time and effort trying to "deal" with America´s new French speaking Secretary of State, The Honorable Benedict Arnold Liveshot of Massachusetts.
You place a traitorous buffoon in a position of power and wonder why there´s no respect?Hmmm, I didn´t specify whether I was talking about barry or kerry. What difference does it make? These days, living in Russia sounds more appealing than living here in the land of unicorns.
Eastern Europeans have a very different and inhospitable way of dealing with upstarts.
Good...even the Russians can´t stand him!
Heh. Even Pravda is more truthful than the MSM.
Wow! This thread says it all about existing in America in the Obama Era!How true.
The pudgy alcoholic woman known as hillary, and her replacement, the dullard known as jon cary, are not serious people.Russia prefers to deal with serious people,so they are out of luck with this administration of a collection of clowns and frowns.
How dare they! Don´t they know he served in Vietnam!?
One may take some satisfaction from the snub of Kerry, but our country´s foreign policy impotence means the world is now more dangerous for us. I fear we will pay a high price our collective incompetence.
JFK: Lovey....those Russian fellows won´t return my callsMama T: Have a Raisin...I´m on the phone with the broker
wow..someone, other than the Boy Scouts, that has some values..can we contribute to them, or does supporting Depardieu count?
Yup, the Rooskies know Kerry was mentored by Teddy Kennedy and that both of these slime bags undermined their country in the fight against communism in the 1960´s just like the entire DemocRAT party sided eith the enemy post 9/11. . .Today we are paying the price.
why would they EVER return his call?
Don´t they "know who he is"? /s
Don´t they know he still has the hat?!
The Russians DO NOT like traitors! You can bet they know everything about ´ol Horseface and his traitorous activities with Hanoi. You can also bet they have a 500 lb. hammer to hold over his pompous head.Can it get any worse for America? Oh yeah, wait til one or two Supreme Court Justices retire!Welcome to The New Amerika.
Don´t they think he has enough ´gravitas´?#16, we´ve been going that way for some years now.
The Ruskies must have lost that "Reset" button, that´s why they haven´t called back...yeah, yeah,...that´s the ticket.
Kerry, Hagel, Brennan and Lew picks what does that say about Obama.The most important thing a Chief Executive does is place talented capable people into responsible positions.I fear these low quality picks made by a childish petty President will get us into a major confrontation and with the broken military they are creating, loose a war. What ever that confrontation is this lineup is sure be the last to know and befuddled as to how to respond.
Quick, where´s president skeeter´s reset button? kerry humiliates himself on a daily basis.
Rodney Dangerfield comes to mind...I tell ya, I can´t get no respect.
Cheer up John. Why the long face?
I have MORE respect for Rodney Dangerfield than I do the current collection of clowns on the Potomac.
Sometimes there IS justice.
Both Russia and Kerry humiliate the U.S. Russia by ignoring our State Dept., Kerry by being the head of our State Dept.
The Russians would never have done this when Reagan was president.
´´Kin I git me a respect license around here?´´´´I actually didn´t call Russia before I did call Russia.´´´´I left a message telling them I had a Plan´´´´I was only checking the market price of Beluga caviar for Lovey.´´
Nuke them
He´s being taught how to sit up and beg. I´m sure Lavrov never expected a fool of this magnitude.
When he does finally quit ignoring the calls, JF´nK will probably tell him that he was calling to warn him about the meteor heading his way - never mind now.
They know Obama´s a sissy too.
Hat tip to #34.
I wouldn´t take a call from Kerry, either. Or from Obama.
Ronald Reagan and George Schultz. Seems like such a long time ago.
The Russians are for some serious person in this administration to contact.And there is only one person that qualifies.We all know who it is:Biden
The Russians know Kerry well. He had a display in a museum in North Vietnam until there was a little too much publicity in the US. Kerry was considered their key to winning the war in Vietnam. They will humiliate him at will until Obama stops production of oil and gas from shale. Our success is threatening their economy.http://www.wintersoldier.com/staticpages/index.php?page=20040604194804799
Kerry WHO?...the Kremlin asks. Oh, that coward during the VietNam war...yea we know him and why we dissed him.

He said any teacher that brings a gun on campus would be fired on the spot.
Columbia Public Schools Superintendent Chris Belcher said the public should never carry guns on school property. Belcher made his comments during a presentation on school security before Boone County democrats at Friday's Muleskinner luncheon. Belcher said his school district has a policy that does not allow anyone to have weapons on school property unless they're a police officer or someone giving a class demonstration of an historic-style weapon. Belcher said if a teacher is packing a gun, they would be fired immediately. "We would fire them. It's that simple. It violates policy," he said. Belcher got a round of applause from a group of Boone County Democrats when he talked about gun safety at Columbia Public Schools. Belcher said school policy calls for no weapons on any campus and he wants lawmakers to keep it that way. Belcher sees it as an issue of local control. "I don't think Jefferson City should mandate that we have to allow that to happen on our school grounds," he said. "That should be a local decision. The law has conceal and carry. It's allowed in certain venues. Public schools have the right to say no."
Belcher also talked about the impact of the Connecticut school shootings on his district. He said he believes there is no "one size fits all" intruder drills for schools and each district across the country should have policies that apply to different situations.
Retired teacher Marlys Jacobs believes Columbia schools are safe, but they could be safer with more funding.
"Putting a paid security person in every school, that may or may not hold a gun, would take $2 million a year to fund that," she said. "Funding helps."
Belcher said school resource officers are one of the biggest assets for school security. However, Belcher believes students are his best security officers since they are usually the first to report any problems.
Belcher told the crowd he could not say Columbia Public Schools are completely safe. Belcher admitted no matter what precautions are taken, a tragedy like the one in Newtown, Conn., could happen anywhere, at anytime.
Governor Jay Nixon opposes legislation that would allow Missouri teachers to carry concealed guns into classrooms.
He described that idea as "the wrong approach."

F2K Presents: The Nine Worst September 11 Response Songs
Today is the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a moment in American history that was pretty horrifying for reasons that have been enumerated countless times. Their effects on pop music weren't as tragic, to be sure, but they were pretty unfortunateartists on both sides of the aisle manned their battlestations and put forth musical invective and sloganeering pap that diminished everyone involved, and turned the radio into a potential lightning rod for angry disagreements about the state of American politics.

would really love to see some higher resolution photos of the thing, and maybe even a short video of the whole setup in action.
how are you using the soundcard, and what in/out do you have available on the box? I really love the idea of having the sound output inside the midi controller - that is so cool. only problem for me is i only have firewire cards (2 cables anyway!)...
Posted 30 September 2007 - 11:09
could you post some higher resolution photos of it?
Posted 30 September 2007 - 12:34
Is there a specific reason why there are some keys missing on your keboard?
Posted 30 September 2007 - 17:07
I've mounted there MAYA 44 USB ... but i should use something with Fire Wire.
All connections at the back are connections from the card - two stereo inputs and two stereo outpust and at the front headphones output =] .
About missing keys from k-board - there was th one reason - that during playing on Aleton i didn't wanted to push wrong button - thats why buttons like SLEEP POWER and thrd one are out = ] . "Windows buttons" were useless for me...
Better resoultion pics will be soon. Movie i think i will record this night and it will be on YOUTube but i will give you here link = ]

That is the card I wanted to integrate into Live controller I`m building. Maya 44 is fairly priced and very compact.I've mounted there MAYA 44 USB ... but i should use something with Fire Wire.
Why do you think it is better you used Firewire card? Because of Mac you own or some other reason?
I also wanted to use 2 short sliders for sends on my controller. They are much easier to operate quickly than rotaries but as they eat more space so I still thinking should I use it. 30mm sliders seams prety hard to find. Where did you buy yours?
Posted 09 January 2008 - 11:56
About the buttons - yes , they are illuminated all the time thats really good solution for clubs! You always see what you have where. You just have to practise at home mixing with that and you dont have a problems like " well which track am i using now? and which button should i press now?? oh 4th channel 5th scene so! one, two, three... " hehehe
after 4 - 6 weeks of training every day you dont care is it ilouminating or not =]
Sliders - one ofo the best things in SISQ are there sliders ! It's really kickin ass option ! So dont think too long about it =]
I found mu sliders here http://www.mouser.com/home.aspx . Try it meaby you will find something for you .

All toogether... heeheh ... TK should think about "MB party" !
Posted 09 January 2008 - 14:33
Well, I guess TK rather spend time developing cool toys for us than organizing the parties but still, some MB gathering would be nice to happen. I`m planing something similar locally for a long time but more like DIY music gathering than specifically MB.All toogether... heeheh ... TK should think about "MB party" !

Khaki Choice Two-Pocket Full Length Bib Apron
We've owned ours for a few months now, and it's served admirably. The fabric is strong, and the stitching well done. Trips through the Clothes Washer don't harm it. Would buy again !
John T. Posted on 10/18/2011
i love these aprons. the length is perfect. keeps my chef jacket and pants clean and not greasy. keeps all the grease away from me and on the apron. great material and will buy more
Aaron h. from The new haven cafe Posted on 10/05/2011
My staff enjoys sharing this well made apron. It helps keep their clothes clean and looks good on them. It is well made and holds up to laundering.
Bill L. Posted on 08/29/2011
These aprons are practically stain proof. I am a messy baker, and love to get batter all over myself, but these aprons allow the mess to be wiped away. They are easily washable and perfect for people xs-xl! Great for baking and cooking, but could be used for housework and small jobs around the house!
Jesse C. from JAM Vegan Bakery Posted on 06/24/2011
I have ordered more of these aprons after the first I got. The apron is well made and the material is thick. The aprons look professional and hold their color nice after many washes.
Jeff B. Posted on 04/26/2011
This is a nice, heavy apron at a great price. I've embroidered our logo on it and washed & washed it, and it still looks great.
Gail N. from Reinbow Ranch Posted on 04/05/2011
Very nice, heavy duty apron. It's made from a very durable fabric that resists staining and washes up well every time. Nice long apron strings that give you enough room to tie in front.
Paul W. from Mahogany Roasters Posted on 11/08/2010
These aprons are the perfect size and length, saved a lot of money too on them. Highly recommend for restaurants since they hold up very, very well no matter how many messes or washes they take!
Lucas P. from Shaharazade's Restaurant & Tea Room Posted on 03/29/2010
I like the choice of color and the quality. Thank you for having such great prices and the very best quality.
Deborah M. Posted on 04/11/2007
Ever since I became a chef I had always wondered why they wanted us to wear white. As soon as I could I switched to darker color jackets and aprons. They don't show the stains...This product fits the bill perfectly. I give them a firm 5 rating!!

Hey everyone,
I'm considering an extended bicycle trip at the end of the summer... hoping to cover several states, at least. Just sort of exploring. Hoping to take my mid missouri along, and trying to resist the sweet pea urge. I'd like some advice on a gig bag that would fit the mid-mo well, be comfortable to carry or pack, and offer excellent protection.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestion.

At what point should a veterinarian recommend medication for separation anxiety?I have three dogs, and one of them has destroyed over $2,000 in property. The other two are fine.
There are volumes of information on separation anxiety. Even "experts" do not agree on causes and treatments. This is probably because the abnormal behavior is considered one problem when actually there are probably many causes.
The fact that your other two dogs are normal, and one pet is doing the damage seems to indicate that she is the one with the problem. However, that does not mean that your actions haven't or don't inadvertently encourage it. All dogs have different personalities and do not end up exactly the same just because they have the same owner, just like children with the same parents.
Your specific question is regarding anxiety relieving medications. Antidepressants, anxiety relieving, or mood altering drugs are seldom the definitive treatment for behavioral problems. Most of the time they are used as part of an overall behavioral modification program. Separation anxiety is a problem that is commonly treated with medications at least on a temporary basis.

The 1950s was one of the most notable periods of design and art since it resulted in the emergence of the Pop Art Movement. Promoting "Abstract Expressionism," the visual art movement gained momentum after World War II, as it veered to postwar consumerism and celebrity culture. Pop artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claus Oldenburg drew inspiration from mundane objects, advertising, comics, celebrities and movies and immortalized them in mass-produced objects. The widely recognizable postwar style is still relevant in today's time, especially in the design continuum. Listed below ...(Read More)
Looking for glitz and glamor in your boudoir? The look towards a design style called Hollywood Regency for some glitzy home decor inspiration. This style, popular in the 1930s through the 1950s, favored over-the-top color, pattern, texture, and design and was championed by the likes of Dorothy Draper and William Haines. These days the style has been re-championed by Jonathan Adler, famous for his "Happy Chic" aesthetic, and Kelly Wearstler. There are many ways to adapt a bit of Hollywood Regency into your home decor: invest in home accessories such as sumptuous upholstery fabrics, a plush...(Read More)

Thoughts about writing a novel
I have been working on a novel about a girl who sees the Blessed Virgin Mary in a small city in late 20th century America, namely, Cleveland. I enjoy your feedback, as I've conversed with some of you in the past. Do you think it could become a best-seller? I have researched some of the writers on this site and, while noticing their talent, have begun to gain confidence that I never had before--that with a lot of hard work, anyone can get published.
Have any of you been published before nationally? What does it feel like? Some of the bloggers here are well-known at the national level.
I write, but am not published. From the little research I have done, there seems to be a very small (but growing) niche market for Catholic writing. Try http://www.tuscanypress.com. They are having a contest with a June deadline.
I write fiction from a (necessarily) Catholic POV, but have consciously toned it down to make my characters seem "spiritual but not religious" or "religious but not explicitly Catholic" -- to improve marketability. (Example, the hero is on Fifth Avenue in NYC. He steps into "the old church". If you are Catholic you'll know it's St. Patrick's Cathedral.)
Depending on what the point of your story is, I think the topic could be of interest to a large share of the reading public. Depends on if it's a mystery or a whodunit or a character study...or a theological tract.
I have a book, and I guess what I would say is that there is a Catholic audience, but it is not like the mainstream market.
If a "Catholic" book sells 1000 copies that is considered a success.
Anyone can publish a book. Whether it will sell is another question.
I really wish you the best...it's hard to write a book, edit it and actually bring it to market. But it can be a worthwhile endeavor.
I have read all three. For $5 it was some pretty good reading.

Dhea and aging
Dhea is the most abundant hormone in the body
it declines steadily after the age of 30 for men and women dhea in America is sold as a supplement but is a hormone otherwise you'd need prescription. low levels of dhea mirror aging problems such a depression and dementia obesity asthma and cancer and caridovascular disease. by the age of 70 you only have 10 per cent of what you had at 25. Doctors are the biggest drug pushers in America.They treat all these problems with drugs that have such bad side effects to hear it on tv almost makes you laugh if it wasn't so serious. A woman I would say start with 10 IU and men 50 IU.I take 100 IU in the morning and 100 IU at night with much experimenting on my part seems to work for me but then I lift weights might make a difference. The body is programed to fail after the age of 30.The original makers felt after the kids were grown you weren't needed and so on.Of course I feel different about that.With dhea you have a better chance of living a healthier life longer. |
DHEA can have a downside too
The correct way to take DHEA is in the morning on an empty stomach. After consuming it you need to wait 30 minutes before you eat. It is not necessary to take it again in the evening.
I recently came across some important information about DHEA which stated that it is advisable to take yourself off of it for a while, and then go back on it again. This could be a red flag in that there could be downside, and or some dangers to taking it. I have been taking DHEA for a number of years and I decided to stop taking it for a while, and then go back on it. Having your blood tested at least 2 times per year is crucial as you need to know where your levels are at. Happy Hormones, NYSpirit |

L' Humanite (1999)
also by
Bruno Dumont - on video: |
.. |
Landscapes of Loss: The National Past in Postwar |
Humanite opens with a prelude, a long take in black and white of a landscape seen
from a distance and at a low angle, two trees looming to the left. The small figure of a
man crosses the horizon from left to right silhouetted against the gray sky. It is an
homage to Bergman and an indication of shared interest in Bergman's themes.
Were Bruno Dumont a lesser director, the opening might seem
presumptuous, but it isn't: L' Humanite is a challenging film, by far the most interesting and profound new release of
this (dismal) year - or many another. Using pronouncedly nonverbal characters
through whom he explores both psychological and philosophical aspects of the human
condition, Dumont makes no compromises for the commercial market. Running nearly two
and a half hours, L'
Humanite is full of scenes in which
very little happens and even less is spoken. But Dumont's filmic vision is so fresh and
his story so rich in perception and so laden with artful ambiguity that it isn't dull for
a moment. On the contrary, it is both intense and intensely fascinating. Dumont is not
only a director with interesting things to say (the screenplay is also his), he is a
filmmaker powerfully in control of his medium.
The central character is Pharaon De Winter (Emmanuel Schotte), a police
superintendent in a small working-class town in the north of France. De Winter is
investigating the rape, mutilation, and murder of an eleven-year-old girl, a crime so
disturbing that he flings himself to the earth as if to reconnect with a more acceptable
reality and he uses the roar of a bullet train to drown out his scream of anguish, the
pain of the violated. (Dumont's use of sounds for dramatic effect is notable - the
train, the wind, the sea, even the peeling of a potato. The senses of smell and taste are
also integral to the telling of his story.) A scene of De Winter choking on an apple is an
early clue of things to come.
While the arching line of the film is within a police procedural
format, "who done it" becomes less important than connecting the meanings of
each scene that Dumont lays out in a series of clues adding up to his statement of theme.
De Winter had and lost a woman and their child; whether they were married, and how and why
he lost them is never disclosed. It is the loss, then, the disconnection that interests
Dumont. Indeed, all the relationships depicted in L'Humanite are sadly incomplete. De Winter lives with his mother, a character embodying the
protective and meddling traits of motherhood and a source of annoyance to her son. Their only
connection appears to be that which comes from their predefined roles of mother and son.
(Like a small boy, he obediently carries the market basket for his mother when they go off
More central are De Winter's next door neighbor, Domino (Severine
Caneele) and her boyfriend Joseph (Philippe Tullier). There are a number of scenes of De
Winter and Domino simply hanging out, saying little, standing in front of their brick row
houses, watching the traffic go by. De Winter's longing is palpable, but it is a longing
for connection, not for sex: when Domino does offer favors, he refuses. Several graphic
and explicitly sexual scenes between Domino and Joseph are clinical in their observation
of an almost animal passion - there is little tenderness in this sex and the partners do
not kiss. When Domino whispers to Joseph in a cafe that she loves him, his only response
is physical - they stroke each other's hands, love remaining far more elusive than lust.
De Winter visits a mental hospital, thinking that, perhaps, an inmate
was the murderer. It's a red herring, since it quickly becomes obvious that tight security
at the hospital would preclude the possibility, but it allows Dumont to show De Winter's
response to this manicured and controlled environment. It is a haven from the anarchic
real world - a world where restaurant dinners are interrupted by loud and drunken
partiers, where trucks speed dangerously down town streets, where children are raped and
By the time an arrest is finally made, Dumont has all but abandoned the
plotting and the logic of the police procedural. He doesn't provide a clue as to how the
investigators were led to the perpetrator (although his presence in the area of the
crime had been established). Far more important is De Winter's response, a gesture of
passionate (but asexual) feeling that is rooted in his inarticulate identification with
and empathy for the humanity of the perpetrator - as deeply felt as earlier when he
screamed for the victim. It is a profoundly Christian response that now emerges out of the
bleak, existential viewpoint with which the film is imbued up to that moment.
Immediately after, in his final scene, Dumont gives us an image of
startling visual simplicity that is riveting in impact - De Winter finally emerges as an
Everyman, as a Christlike figure taking on the horrific sins of all humanity.

Jane Austen: Sense and SensibilityChapter 47 (continued)When the dessert and the wine were arranged, and Mrs. Dashwood and Elinor were left by themselves, they remained long together in a similarity of thoughtfulness and silence. Mrs. Dashwood feared to hazard any remark, and ventured not to offer consolation. She now found that she had erred in relying on Elinor's representation of herself; and justly concluded that every thing had been expressly softened at the time, to spare her from an increase of unhappiness, suffering as she then had suffered for Marianne. She found that she had been misled by the careful, the considerate attention of her daughter, to think the attachment, which once she had so well understood, much slighter in reality, than she had been wont to believe, or than it was now proved to be. She feared that under this persuasion she had been unjust, inattentive, nay, almost unkind, to her Elinor;-- that Marianne's affliction, because more acknowledged, more immediately before her, had too much engrossed her tenderness, and led her away to forget that in Elinor she might have a daughter suffering almost as much, certainly with less self-provocation, and greater fortitude.
