Kandal provincial court will this week summons five suspects held in detention since December 10 last year for a fresh round of questioning over relics stolen from Oudong Mountain last month, even as police said the investigation is now "quiet".
Judge Lim Sokuntha said yesterday that he had no choice but to question them again after the investigation failed to determine the whereabouts of the missing artefacts.
Additionally, Sokuntha said, the court has issued a warrant allowing police to increase inspections at checkpoints and in known points in the movement of goods.
"[Since the discovery] the police have not found anything suspicious, because the relics are small and are hard to find," he said.
In December, four security guards protecting the Royal Treasury on Oudong Mountain and one villager were arrested and charged with stealing an unknown number of relics – including an urn said to contain the ashes of the Buddha.
The theft led to allegations of corruption and several protests by monks and civilians who say the government and religious leaders should have taken more care to protect the sacred relics.
Provincial police chief Eav Chamroeun said that the investigation had not progressed, and was up to the judge at this point. "For police, we have followed the judge's order, but it's still quiet."
The president of the Independent Monks Network for Social Justice, But Buntenh, said that he had planned to gather monks to march from Phnom Penh to Oudong Mountain in protest, but had to delay the march after the January 2 arrest of rights activists Vorn Pov and Theng Savoeun.
"We are a bit busy with that, but we still plan to march to Oudong with thousands of monks, because it's the nation's soul," he said. "I think police and court are not working, they are busy arresting our rights activists, not finding the relics."

As discussed in part four of this problem solving series, the review stage is a critical part of problem solving as this is when we learn the biggest lessons to take with us moving forward. I have to admit, I have often skipped this part of the problem solving process and it has definitely placed me at a disadvantage in advancing my life strategy.
One of the reasons it is so important is – in asking some critical questions such as why something didn't work or how you can build upon your successes – you can move forward having learned important lessons and gained invaluable insight in both the life area you are problem solving and how to better problem solve in future.

Mikel Arteta says he is happy to play in a deep midfield role throughout the season for Arsenal if it suits the team.
The Spaniard stated that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger convinced him to make the big switch from creative midfielder to anchorman after Alex Song joined Barcelona and feels it was done in the best interests of the squad.
"It is a big transition but it is more a mental thing. The boss is convinced that is the best thing for the team and I am too, so let's do it. If it works, and in games like that where you probably think you need a more physical presence but you still create and are able to match the physical ability and the way they play, it reinforces your belief. I am totally happy that is a good way to play," the club Web site quoted Arteta as saying.
The former Everton man also insists that the recent away results, topped with the draw at Manchester City, prove that Arsenal has the potential to challenge for the Premier League title this term.
A late strike from centre-back Laurent Koscielny cancelled out a Joleon Lescott goal and earned the Gunners a point at the Etihad and Arteta feels that consistency will help the club challenge for honours now.
"There has been a confidence boost for everyone because we have already been to three of the toughest places you can go - Liverpool, Manchester City and Stoke - and I think we deserved to win all of them. Two of them we drew and one we won, but we could have won them all easily. It shows we are doing things in the right way. We are training well, the team is organised and ambitious, but we are not complacent and we want more and more each game," the Telegraph quoted the 30-year-old.
Arsenal remain unbeaten so far this season and are currently fifth on the league table, level on points with City.
"On Sunday we were better than them [City]. If we are, then all we need is consistency. If we carry on until March or April when it is really tight, the spirit we have can get us something," The Sun quoted Arteta.

SEO isn't always an easy path to take. There's so much online that it can be really overwhelming. This article will provide much helpful information for you to get started on the right path.
To improve your search engine rankings, don't just add keywords to your site. Also add alternative forms of that keyword, including misspellings, in the meta tags of each page on your site. These meta tags are one of the main spots that the search engine bots use to determine what your site is about. A good example is using the keywords "eyeglasses" and "eyeglases" if your website is all about eyeglasses.
Mostly, your site is supposed to entertain visitors and keep them clicking about. You want people to return to your site and stick around once there. Focus on things that will boost your search engine rankings.
You should have just enough keywords to succeed at SEO. Focus on keeping each page's keyword content well under 20 percent.
Anchor Text
You want your site to be entertaining and grab people's attention. You want return visitors and your visitors to stay on your website for extended periods of time. These small tweaks can push your site rankings up towards your goals.
Using proper anchor text is important to your internal links on your site. You should describe what the page is about and give a good reason for your reader to click on your anchor text link. Ensure the right text is used as the keyword, so you receive a rise in ranking. It is vital you use the correct keywords, since anchor text allows crawling spiders to notice you.
Use header tags on your website. They can be a bit too big sometimes, but use CSS and change their size. Headers are essential because search engines enjoy using them to rank sites. If you have useful bits of information, mark them in an H1 or H2 tag.
You should purchase a relevant domain name that will easily stick in people's heads. These tools are helpful since your website will be easy to find due to the ease of pronunciation.
Buy an easy to remember domain name. If people will only hear your site name out loud, as in a Youtube video, this is doubly important.
Having a site map will make it easier for search engines to index your pages.. A site map could be a navigation bar, or for sites with a lot of pages, it could work like and index that has links to each page. This helps search engines follow links all the way through your entire site. Adding a site map is an easy way to improve your rank with popular search engines.
To boost website traffic, check your content and try improving it. When website visitors don't see relevant information that they want to see and read, they will leave. One of the best ways to bring more visitors in is to work on your content.
Site Map
You can greatly improve your ranking by including your keywords in a page's URL. If the URL has symbols or numeric characters that people don't usually use to search information, the page will not rank very high. It's vital use to use keywords that people will search on that have relevancy to your site's topic in order to boost rankings.
You website needs to have a site map which contains all the main links and keywords for your website. A site map shows you all of the available areas of your website to your viewers. In addition, it gives a simple access point so that these people will be able to locate what they are searching for. The presence of a site map also influences your search engine rankings, since ease of navigation is something search engines take into account.
If you want to further expose yourself to search engine selection, make sure any blogging that you do is done through your own website. As a result, more visitors will come to look at your site.
Use videos along with a video sitemap for increasing your SEO. Videos are great for when you want to show yourself or the staff or you can show how a product works. Make sure that you utilize the right keywords in your videos. Once that is done, add it to your page to your Google Webmaster Tools page. Then post the video to various video websites, including Yahoo and YouTube. Then, you can relax and wait for visitors to arrive.
Research possible keywords first. Learn what keywords you should be focusing on as you put together your site's content. By researching certain keywords, you will be able to find out exactly what people search for in your category. To get higher up in search engine results, emphasize these items in your site.
Search Engines
Your website should always be easy on the eye for comprehension and simplicity to read. You can increase your search engine ranking by concentrating on keeping your site uncluttered and functional. You can also increase your rankings by adding functions for accessibility such as a tool to increase font size. When you work on search engine optimization, you must also consider optimizing for the reader's experience, as well.
Javascript can be used, but some search engines overlook it. Java can add a lot of customization to your site, but be careful as search engines may not react to it predictably.
Don't engage in keyword stuffing. Keep your site focused on a dozen or so main keywords or phrases that really capture the essence of what your site is about. Use analytical tools to figure out which words and phrases really bring in the most traffic.
Make sure all image tags have "alt" tags for better SEO. These tags show what an image should be if it doesn't load, or the visitor has disabled image display in his or her browser. Search engines will also read these tags, and use them when determining your site's ranking, so make sure to put in some keywords.
Get listed for free with Google and Yahoo! to increase your publicity. You get more visibility and visitors with this service. The value of free advertising should never be overlooked.
Focus on becoming an expert in just one or two aspects of SEO right away. New techniques are cropping up every day, but mastering even one will dramatically improve the success of your content.
Websites that effectively utilize search engine optimization almost never use image links. An image link offers only the URL of the linked file for search engines to index.
Search Engine
When you make your site better for the search engines, you make your site better for potential customers. Some businesses are unaware of how much SEO can help their sales.
It's a bad idea to use one, isolated page to collect all of your links to other websites. Incorporate the links throughout your pages and make them blend well with the content. Link pages won't be high up on search engine results and they are boring to visitors. If your links flow naturally with your content, it will improve your relationship with both human readers and search engine bots.
Using relevant links to trusted reference sites will also improve your search engine ranking. This is really important when it comes to linking. Search engines favor relevant off-site links more than the internal ones leading you to additional pages on your own website. Look for linking options with a corresponding link directed back to your own site. This improves your search ranking even more.
Think like a customer when you are coming up with tags to include. Think of what kind of search queries a real person would use.
Be certain that the initial sentence found on your website can also be used as a meta description tag in HTML. There may be search engines that utilize that content rather than the blurb below your link that describes your site. Having the wrong content in this space can damage your search engine optimization.
Establishing a search engine with clearly defined parameters allows you to optimize your website efficiently. Use specific commands to ensure that the search will turn up relevant results.
When you are brainstorming the keywords you want to promote, think like Joe Public rather than an industry elite. Find out what terms are actually used when people search for your product or service.
Never place the same article more than once on your website. The Google algorithms consider this cheating and will lower your page rank. Having people link to two different pages for the same content will also dilute your incoming link count, which will further drop your Page Rank.
Spiders sent out by search engines are constantly on the lookout for fresh content. A blog is an excellent way to attract these spiders because you can update it constantly. Furthermore, articles that are well-written are likely to be shared with others. Those who have shared the articles will continue to visit your site or blog for updated information and posts.
Use the language meta tag if your website content is in a different language than English. This simple step helps increase your placement in search engine results that are language specific.
Length of stay is something else that will help your page come up higher in searches. The content on your site is important to keep customers coming back.
Look to email marketing to help get your website seen. Keyword phrases for SEO purposes should be in your email text, as well as social networking options for sharing. Make it simple for readers to forwards the emails to people they know too.
Depending upon your financial resources, you may only be able to focus on optimizing a site for a couple of the most popular search engines. Applying content that is very keyword-rich and excellent structure will provide you with an advantage for any search engine; however, Yahoo, Google, , Ask. These must be targeted through different techniques.
Search engines track the average visit length to sites, and use that information as part of the ranking algorithm. The longer someone spends on your site, the more likely it is that they will come back for another visit. Be sure to give them high quality content to keep them coming back.
Leaving posts on blogs that are compatible to yours may allow you to link through to their site. When you give a comment that is relevant, a lot of bloggers will give you a link. Make sure the comments you do post create value and are relevant to the blog in question. If you know your subject well, it will be easy for you to leave acceptable comments, along with your link, on many blogs.
Depending on the resources available to you, it is possible that your site will only be able to be fully optimized for the top search engines. Keyword-rich content can help with many search engine results, but not Google or Yahoo!. , Ask. and even Bing are all known to favor specific SEO principles over keyword usage.
If SEO is your goal, then you need to use keywords throughout your website. This will allow you to maximize your visibility. Your site needs to refer back to specific keywords that you have designated as you construct your site.
The higher the ranking you want to achieve, the more content that you need to provide. Make sure your topic range is broad, but still relevant to your product or service. As an example, if you have a blog about knitting, include articles about pattern types, book reviews and how to's. If you are offering a wide range of content related to your niches, a reader is more likely to find your page higher up in their search results.
Many people don't realize that not using an ALT tag is a mistake when it comes to SEO. Images shouldn't just be used to make your site look good, but should also help it get a boost of recognition by search engines. ALT tags should be used on pictures to ensure that search engines view the text. This is a good way to use keywords in your website.
Learn all about SEO and how it can help you. These tips will provide a foundation you can build on. Hopefully, this article has helped to teach you the basics so you can begin to use the right techniques for your own success.
When a website offers information in addition to its sales, it generally ranks higher. Your content can focus on your product or service and how it changes lives, or even helpful how-to demonstrations and alternate uses.

In the midst of a pending catastrophic catastrophe (if the stimulus bill isn't signed immediately), it is important to focus on real news.
Superfluous news just isn't news. If it's not serious, it shouldn't be reported on - much less discussed. Ever.
Like when we reported this or this or this.
You responded with, "Don't you have anything better to do?"
Or, "Slow news day, huh?"
And, "You're ruining the paper!"
Obama hit his head
So we're not going to tell you that President Obama hit his head yesterday while boarding Marine One.
Nor are we going to include the video (below) which includes a frame-by-frame analysis of the mishap.
We haven't heard if Obama suffered a bruise as a result of the blunder. Nor do we know if the helicopter sustained any damage.
And if we did know, we wouldn't tell you because it's not real news.

Hi Gorgeous!
I'm Dru, a working mom blogger in West Texas, a producer specializing in print advertisement, and most importantly a mommy and wife to Oliva Grey and Andrew. My blog is ever changing with my life and now has taken an intriguing turn with the new babe. Dru Ammons is about style, motherhood, babies and the working mom life. I tackle the everyday challenges of motherhood, my drive to continue to further my success in my career and my obsession with style… DUH.
At this stage of life I find it a daily struggle to stay fashionable yet practical. SO- I am learning how to balance my love of style and keeping up with a little one. Ask my husband, I have a problem… I LOVE to shop. My style is very eclectic. I love a pair of yoga pants, ripped jeans with heels and a tee and a super cool jumpsuit. You won't ever really know what I might be wearing day to day because my style changes with my mood. I shop because the girl I want to be that day is not hanging in the closet, she is waiting to be worn. So let's mix it up, let's find you.
Having a daughter has fulfilled my lifelong dream of having my own REAL little doll to dress up! Thankfully, I can say my daughter shares her mother's love for style and let's me share it here on the blog. She's no stranger when I whip out the camera for a quick impromptu photo session and quite possibly has already surpassed me in the style department.
Recently I have started a new series called MAKE MONDAY MATTER. Follow along each Monday on my journey of what currently matters in my life. I hope this working mom blog inspires you on those days you are brain dead after a long day with the kids or a long day at work. You can and will have it all, the career of your dreams, motherhood, and harmony.
PS- I can now officially announce after working for several months…… I am starting a T-SHIRT LINE!! We will be launching at the end of August, pre-orders will begin in a few weeks. STAY TUNED!

Volcanoes of Kamchatka, RussiaKamchatka's volcanoes have never been bloodthirsty: the natives of Kamchatka can hardly recall eruptions that carried death there. A dark silhouette of volcano against the clean dawning skies does not imply a threat - it is usually a token of nice weather for the people of Kamchatka. It is still hard, however, living in such proximity to the volcanoes, to get used to the idea that they are just some geological objects. The silence alongside the volcanoes is of a special sort, the one that fills the soul with an incomprehensible combination of anxiety and peace. Everything looks strange and unusual; you are gazing around as if perceiving a scrutinizing glance of another universe: you feel scared and at the same time happy, for this scrutinizing glance makes you feel someone's unbound power spreading over you - perhaps that sole true power you want to surrender to:
Which of Kamchatka's volcanoes is the most beautiful? There is not an unargued leader, but one can certainly name the first three - though, as it goes, there are few objective criteria to assess beauty - nevertherless, the three volcanoes are Kluchevskoy, Koryaksky and Kronotsky. All the three can be good candidates to symbolize volcanic Kamchatka due to their total assets. The feature of Kluchevskoy, its height, (the absolute heights of the volcanoes are 4,750m, 3,456m and 3,528m respectively), is not as significant as it looks as the first glance. The greatest Eurasian volcano has made nearly 5 kilometers of height due to the fact that it was formed on a specific geological "pedestal", a slope of ancient volcano while the actual height (a relative one) is 3,000m, i.e. less than the height of Koryaksky (3,300m) or Kronotsky (3,100).
Considering the shape of a volcano's cone or "marquee" as it was figuratively called in Krasheninnikov's times, a lot of people with no doubts would prefer the one of the Kronotsky volcano. The geometrically regular, ribbed cone crowned with an icy hat looks in the waters of the biggest Kamchatka's lake. In its beauty and majesty the Koryaksky volcano does not yield to its two "brothers". It forms a magnificent ensemble together with the Avachinsky volcano, an integral part of the panorama of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. So, a lot of natives of the city have almost relative feelings towards it. On the other hand, each of Kamchatka's volcanoes has the beauty of its own. There are over 300 of them on the peninsula, among which 29 are still active.
Uzon Caldera
Uzon Caldera (this is a term to specify a ring-like hollow) developed 40 thousand years ago on the site of a huge volcano destroyed by a set of bursting eruptions. The last cataclysm inside the kaldera (8,500 years ago) left its trace as a blasting crater about one kilometer in diameter. The following centuries of intensive hydro-thermal activity have developed a unique symbiosis of volcanoes and wildlife in Uzon. Being a part of the Kronotsky Zapovednik, it is registered as a natural site specially cared for.
The Uzon Caldera is about 10 km in diameter, and inside it, behind steep walls, there is a complete "museum" collection of everything that Kamchatka is famous for: hot sources and cold rivers, poisonous mud cauldrons and pure lakes full of fish, a berry tundra and a birch forest, mountains and bogs, animals and birds. Geologists and botanists, geochemists and microbiologists, zoologists and volcanologists, i.e. the scientists of various specialisations, strive to get to Uzon. There in hot sources natural minerals are born as if in a laboratory retort; incredible algae and bacteria live in the burning solution for whom the poisonous boiling water is the most desirable environment; enormous bears in overalls of steam wander on Uzon's paste; swans roll-call in warm small lakes.
There is hardly another place on Earth where autumn beauty as bright as it were short. Uzon in autumn is unforgettable: the tundra is vigorously scarlet, Erman's birches sparkle with gold, steamy pillars are going up into blue skies like the smoke of sacrificial fires. Quiet music sounds in birch forests in the morning: these are hoar-frosted leaves falling with a jingle. With the first gusts of autumn storms, however, the leaves fall down, the tundra fades with the frosts, and only mud cauldrons keep boiling colorful paste.
Kluchevskoy Volcano
Kluchevskoy is the biggest alive volcano in Eurasia - 4,750m over the sea level. It has a perfect, incredibly beautiful cone. Together with Kamen (Stone), Bezymyanny (Unnamed), Plosky (Flat) Tolbachik it forms the Kluchevskaya group of volcanoes. The volcano is about 8,000 years old. The first registered eruption was in 1697. It was registered during the famous travel of Vladimir Atlasov, a Kamchatka explorer. In average, the eruptions took place every five years, at certain time periods they happened annually, and sometimes there were continuos eruptions lasting for a number of years. However, they have never imposed a severe danger upon the inhabitants of Kluchi, a town 30 km away grom the volcano. The eruptions are accompanied with explosions, the throw-outs of gas and ashes and ash falls. The most powerful eruptions of the Kluchevakaya, like those in 1944-45, came out from the major central crater, but the volcano's activity is also characterized by "parasite" craters 60-200m tall that stand 8-25 km away from the major one.
The first ascent to the top of the volcano was executed by a mountain guide, Daniel Gaus, in 1788. Since then plenty of dare-devils went up to the crater of Kluchevskov.
Karymsky Volcano
Karymsky volcano is a relatively short (1,486 m) and young (6,100years old) volcano, the most active one in Kamchatka. There have been 23 eruptions in this century only, the latest one started in 1996 and was going on for two years gradually fading. The eruptions of Karymsky volcano are accompanied with bursts and throw-outs of ash and bombs going out from the central crater, with lava effusing. As a rule, the lava of Karymsky are so glutinous that the flaming torrents do not always reach the foot of the volcano. The latest eruption of Karymsky volcano would have been like any other one, but it was different coinciding with an under-water eruption in the Karymsky lake that is 6 km away from the volcano. It lasted not more than 18-20 hours, but that short period included over 100 under-water bursts each accompanied with waves tsunami 15 meters high. The lake was actually boiling. The temperature went up rapidly, and salt and acid components reached the concentration that killed all the life in the lake including the school of "kokani", a lake species of sock-eye salmon cultivated by ichthyologists in the Karymsky lake. As a result of this eruption, the Karymsky lake that used to be ultra-fresh turned into the biggest natural reservoir of acid water in the world.
Maly Semyachek Volcano
It is a volcanic mountain range 3 km long with 3 craters on its crest. In its southern crater (the crater of Troitski), there is an unusual acid lake in the depth of 170m. The temperature in this opaque, sometimes turquoise sometimes green lake, ranges from +27`C to +42`C while the level of mineralization is equal to an average concentration of sulphate and hydrochloric acids. The size of the lake amazes: it is about half kilometer wide and is 140m deep.
It is assumed that the acid lake developed quite recently. The hypothesis says that it was the result of eruption unnoticeable for people. Anyway, today Maly Semyachek is one of Kamchatka's natural wonders, and those who managed to reach its foot should climb to the edge of the crater. The view opening to your eyes is unforgettable: a 200 m gap of the crater, the smoking green lake, the wild play of colours on the walls inside. Then the weather is clear and windy, you can descend into the crater. You can stay on the slate-black beach to enjoy a poisonous emerald surf and water-spouts araising over the lake's surface. The coastal breeze that causes cough will make you leave the abode of underground "spirits" soon.
Gorely volcanoGorely volcano is like chain from 11th craters, laying one by one, with lakes, fumaroles, and also a great number (about 40) of secondary slag cones with lava torrents; in expose parts of ancient construction you can clearly study the process of transformation of volcano products, in particular, transformation of crumbly pumice. Gorely is great geologist object.
Avachinski volcano
Avachinski volcano is active and nice-structured as Somma-Vezuvi, with perfect cone (2751 altitude). At the top of cone was crater 350 m. In diameter and 220 m. In depth, but in 1991 in process of eruption, crater was filled with Lava, and now at different places is active fumaroles, which deposits sulphur.
Koryak volcano
Koryak is stratospheric volcano with perfect rib cone (3456 m. Altitude). >From the powerful circus at the top and others places descend glaciers. Almost at the top part along the cracks steamly fumaroles, and in the crater is warm plates. Rocks at those places are changed to coloured clay with abundant deposit of sulphur, gyps, amonia etc.
Dzenzurski volcano
Dzenzurski is demolish volcanic massif with crater as glacier. At south-east part of volcano is fumarolic boiler (5m. X 20 m.) and full of melted water. At the ages and on the bottom of boiler arc active fumaroles, because of them the temperature of water is 85-90'C. About 40% of water is minerals. Walls of boiler are from coloured clay.
Viluchinski volcano
Viluchinski volcano is on the south-west part from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, behind Avacha bay. Volcano is not active, has perfect cone (2175 m. altitude). Top of it has different rocks divided by ice. Lava and pyroclastic, changed to coloured, because of activity of fumaroles. Slopes of volcano are radical going down from the top, but some of them starts from the middle. Upper section at the north-west slope is full of ice. Structure of volcano is lava and pyroclistic of mineral structure. At the foundation of volcano is acid rocks, and at south-east part are hot springs.
Tolbachic volcano
Ostriy Tolbachic volcano is stratospheric volcano, has sharp (pointed) icely top. It's altitude is 3682 m. South-East part of the top is large open destroyed circus. Low part covered with ice, which extend to the west part of Ploski Tolbachik. Glacier of Shmidt starts from that circus, and goes down to the south slopes of volcano. West slopes of volcano is destroyed and covered with different ledges. Those ledges looks like teeth-walls, whimsical castles etc. Their high is changing from 3 m. till 20-30 m. It is interesting for scientists and for tourists. This volcano is not active, maybe it was active with Ploski Tolbachic volcano in parallel.
Ksudatch volcano
The shape of volcano is truncated cone with foot 18 x 22 km. Ksudatch has several calderas with crater lakes. The height of volcano is 1000 m. above sea level.
Ksudatch volcano was formed at the end of early Pleistocene and previously was 2000 m. high. Its activity arose rhythmically this fact explains the presence of several calderas and volcanic cones of different ages.
On extrusions Paryashchi Utyos and Paryashchi Greben one can see vapor and gas spurts of temperature 800-900C concentrated closely in one area. Spurts have a high concentration of CO2. Thermal springs are located on the coasts of lake Klyutchevoye and lake Shtyubelya.
Shtyubelya springs form 200 meters long hot beach of sand and pumice. Water temperature is 300-700C. Colonies of thermophilic algae can be seen on the surface of the lake.
Alder bushes, tundra and meadows, slag slopes in combination with laces and crater cones create unusual beauty. River Tyoplaya flows down from caldera and forms waterfall.
Ksudatch is one of the most exotic objects in Kamchatka. It is declared as a Nature's memorial of landscape and geological value.
Mutnovski volcano
Mutnovski volcano is a compound volcanic massif of height 2323 m. above sea level. It has numerous and various fumarolic fields where one can see all different forms of modern gas-hydro-thermal activity with magnificent structures of volcanic sulfur of 2,5 m. high and 5 m. in diameter. Some of these structures contains rare minerals, such as markazite and metacinnabarite. Not far from active craters, glaciers and lakes thermal springs are located. The most impressive of them are Severo-Mutnovskiye and Datchnye with vapor-gas spurts, boiling muds, hot lakes and heated bogs.
Hardened Lava.
The eruption ends up, and everything that has been thrown out from the volcano's crater, i.e. glutinous immobile lava, ash as fine as flour, is left on the ground surface. Actually this is new ground born in the fire pains:
The appearance and features of volcano rocks depend on the chemical components that magma comprises and then on the environment conditions. Lava with a relatively small quantity of silica are more unstable. In the process of hardening they form basalt, the most widespread rock in Kamchatka. Syrupy glutinous lava comprise more silica, and when cooled, andesites and dacites are formed. With a big concentration of silica, lava can harden generating volcano glass, obsidian.
A young stream of lava often forms a nearly insuperable bulk of slate-black boulders. At a distance it looks like a dragon falling down to the ground. At a closer glance the oppressing impression is getting stronger: an endless black wall, bare boulders piling up in stores with tiny knobs of lichen here and there on the surface. This unpretentious unremarkable lichen is the first label of ever-winning life. Centuries will pass, winds and rains will flaten the sharp facets, the ashes of new eruptions will cover angular, and finally the ugly "monster" will turn into another long, gently sloping range.
First the ground scorched by eruptions is rehabilitated by moss and lichen, then some shy grass, a dwarf willow, berries come up. When tundra covers the ash, animals will come back, too. Black-hatted marmots settle down in the old lava streams. These funny creatures like coming up onto the remnants of high boulders both to enjoy the sun and to observe the surroundings. Unfortunately, the marmots' colonies disappear in Kamchatka.
Pumice and Tufa.
There are plenty of spots in Kamchatka where the multi-meter thick of pumice is discovered. Pumice-stone is a volcano rock generated when the magma fuse comprising dissolved water rather quickly reaches the ground surface. On the surface the pressure falls down, and water immediately turns into steam foaming the still hot magma. Thus the pumice stone is formed. However, if the lava is over-saturated with water, the steam bursts it up into the sand, ash and small fragments called "lapilli". In a course of time all the stuff is condensed, "concreted", and as a result, a new, quite hard rock forms - a volcanic tufa.
The pumice baring is a witness of the powerful destructive eruptions of the past. The most impressive pumice cliffs are located in the south of Kamchatka, round the Kurilskoye lake. There, on the shore of the Ozernaya river, the famous "Kutkhiny Baty", "obelisks" made of pumice and resembling upstanding gigantic boats, are placed. As an ltelmen's legend says, Kutkhu - the Lord and the Creator of Kamchatka - before he left the peninsula, lived at the Kurilskoye lake for some time and went fishing on the lake or to the sea in these boats. Leaving Kamchatka, Kutkhu stood his boats ("Baty") up, and since then the place has been considered sacred among the Kamchadals.
The Colour of Ground.
The eruption ended, a lot of volcanoes get quiet for years turning to the stage of fumarole activity. A fumarole is a gas stream having exclusively high temperature of 300-500`C or even 800`C. Jets of steam and gas of lower temperatures are called solfataras. The majority of Kamchatka's active volcanoes are in fumarole and solfatara phases of activity. Fumaroles including besides water steam hydrogen sulphide, sulphurous and carbonic gases change mountain rocks unrecognizably. The acid rivers enriched by iron and aluminum flow on the surface, the crystallized sulphur sediments appear on the stones, in some places such metals as zinc , lead, arsenic and mercury are accumulated developing into ore deposits. A volcano is a sort of gigantic retort where, under the mysterious laws of nature, the chemicals are mixed, heated and enter into a reaction.
Small Mud Volcanoes and Mud Cauldrons.
Mud cauldrons and small mud volcanoes are little miracles of Kamchatka. You can see them in different regions, but in caldera Uzon and the Valley of Geysers they are the most prolific. Though examining them requires a lit of caution. It is much more terrible to get into boiling paste than just to get boiled: paste is no boiling water, it cools down slowly and can't be washed off at once. One can't help marvelling and envying at the sight of bears dashingly crossing steaming thermal sites.
Small mud volcanoes perform almost in the same way as the real ones do: they smoke and "erupt", but their "volcanic activity" stars only after rains, while in dry hot weather the small volcanoes "fall asleep".
Geserit is a mineral (silica included in the group of base opals) that is crystallized from hot water mainly round the geysers and is very rich in shapes and colours.

Well, its been a massive few months and I've been firing on all fronts, literally and creatively speaking that is. I've been concentrating for the last 10 months…that's all of this year!!! on developing a couple of ranges of ceramic wares.
I've posted about the process before, but now I'm reaching the end of the development stage. I've had a little pop-up shop for one day and it went really well, Now I"m working on doing more selling and more making.
Above are my "Maureen Margaret Alice" range of wares inspired by my Nanna and named after her. These use doilies, ceramics and crochet in combination to create practical, decorative and nostalgic items. Other stuff I have been working on are my "Sleepy Koala" pots, my "Murmuration" series inspired by Greece featuring the swallow design and just for a bit of fun, some wheel thrown ceramic planters with text. I hope to have them all in shops locally and online on my etsy shop.

This London based organ jazz outfit are one of the most talked about funky groups of the last year, with a sound that is more musical than many of their contemporaries.
Led by trumpeter Nick Etwell and featuring the sublime guitar skills of Nigel Price they are always capable of musical surprises.
The stand-out single, lifted from they're self-titled debut long player, is a stunning version of Roy Budd's theme from 'Get Carter', that moves the action out of a North-Eastern dockside and onto the dance floor.

Honda's 2012 Pilot arrives in Saudi
Jeddah, January 12, 2012
Honda Pilot 2012, re-designed especially for family travel, has arrived in Saudi Arabia, launched by Abdullah Hashim Company, the exclusive distributor of Honda cars in the Kingdom.
The four-wheel drive SUV is an 8-seater with marked updates in its exterior and interior styling. Looking stronger, bolder and more refined, the Honda Pilot 2012 has a new front fascia with a three-bar chrome grille and large multi-reflector halogen headlights and front fog lights.
"The level of comfort for driver or passengers is high and true to the 'Any time is family time,' slogan of the Honda Pilot 2012," said Shakib Haider, general manager-Honda SBU, Abdullah Hashim Co.
Available in two grades, EX and the high-end Touring, top of its class, the Honda Pilot 2012 is powered by a 3.5 liter i-VTEC V6 engine with VCM technology for friction reduction and fuel efficiency.
The Grade Logic Control in the Pilot's 5-speed automatic transmission system maintains the appropriate gear to prevent "gear hunting" on uphill or downhill drives.
A high performance suspension geometry and a combination of improvements to reduce road vibration add to handling and comfort, while the front air dams and air deflectors reduce turbulence and enhance fuel economy.
The VTM-4 system on the Pilot delivers seamless 4-wheel-drive when needed. It also provides a "lock mode" activated by a button on the instrument panel for maximum possible torque transfer to the rear wheels to get out of extremely low traction or stuck conditions.
Other features include HDD navigation system, DVD rear entertainment for the rear seats, intelligent MID (i-MID), wide mode rear view camera, Bluetooth hands-free phone and Bluetooth Audio Streaming.
A neat upgrade available in the Touring is the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with an 8-inch, high-resolution QVGA color display and GPS technology with 60 GB HDD memory, and voice guidance both in Arabic and English. The hard drive is accessible by simple voice commands using the Song By Voice feature. Also, a multi-view wide range rear camera with the navigation screen display enables easy reverse parking.
The Touring drives on six-spoke, 18-inch aluminum wheels while the EX grade has 5-spoke, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The chassis incorporates 52 per cent of high strength steel (HSS) for more rigidity and better fuel efficiency.
Honda is reputed for its safety records and the principal safety feature used on all models is the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure for enhanced frontal collision energy management and vehicle-to-vehicle frontal crash compatibility. – TradeArabia News Service

Hi! Although I live on the internet under another name, my yuletide alias is "Caryl Christmas" and my letter to Santa has one request: that I may go Christmas Caroling.
I believe many share this wish, a desire intensified after the horrific and heart-breaking events in recent days. It would be so wonderful to stand side-by-side with people from a diversity of culture and sing the songs of the season and spread some much needed joy.
Thinking about how and where I would do this, the idea of a flashmob came to mind. And since Christmas does not just happen in my neighborhood, I thought a flashmob could be planned at many locations across the country and maybe around the world. If only I could find a common place where everyone can gather and sing… but, where?
How about anywhere a bell is ringing next to a red kettle?
So while getting together to sing, we can share our voices for the good. After all, if a giant group of singers gathered and you were entertained when passing by, would you be inclined to put something in that kettle? Let us overcome the evil we have seen too much in the news with some good.
If you are interested, comment on this blog or tweet me @bellringsing. For those outside of the Washington, DC metro area, search #bellringsing for an event in your state or coordinate a flashmob in your city/state by tweeting your city name, state name and specific location, day & time with the hashtag #bellringsing. Be sure to invite everyone you know (family, friends, coworkers, classmates, elected officials, the news media, etc.) and have them invite everyone they know and so on….
Ask anyone who are not going to sing, to take video and still photos at the flashmob. Post them on Twitter to @bellringsing. Or you can post them on Facebook and tag them "Bell Ring Sing".
Our Christmas Carol flashmob will happen on the last weekend before Christmas: * Sunday, December 23rd at times and locations to be announced. Future posts will give important specific details.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Miss C.C.
* High wind warnings & low temperatures forecast for Saturday December 22, 2012 in the eastern U.S. force the postponement of caroling for that day.

Objectives and Goals
Sourcing from your Change Destiny and within the parameters determined by your SWOT-analysis, change objectives (short/medium term) and goals (long term) need to be identified and clearly defined. You need to identify which objectives need to be obtain over a period, to gradually achieve your change goal(s) in the end.
When you formulate the objectives that should achieve a goal (e.g. I want to establish I a healthier lifestyle), steer clear from vague objectives such as… "I want to eat less junk food". Rather, specify what foods to eat, and what foods to avoid. For example… "I will no longer eat fast food from places like McDonald's or Kentucky Fried Chicken. Instead I will eat home-cooked meals that combine vegetables, lean proteins and unrefined carbohydrates".
With clearly define change objectives, it is much easier to establish and sustain an accountable monitoring cycle, which forms an integral part of any change project, to determine if you are still "moving" towards your goal.
Another aspect, regarding goal and objectives (i.e. target) composition, is that – under most circumstances – it isn't such a great idea to try and change by going "cold turkey" with your goal. Most of the time, going "cold turkey", leads to plenty of failures, which in the end will do you more harm than good. Rather create incremental objectives, that will allow you to work steadily towards your goal. Normally, implementing changes "cold turkey" isn't a very realistic, nor sustainable objective. For example…
Let's say you're a smoker who averages 40 cigarettes a day. And as part of your "healthier lifestyle" goal, you want to eliminate the smoking habit completely. Important though, incremental objectives will only be successful in obtaining your goal, when it is accompanied by personal responsibility, self-discipline and a motivated self-empowerment quest. But for now, just stick to the following incremental objectives to obtain your goal…
- 20 cigarettes each day for weeks 1 to 3
- 10 cigarettes each day for weeks 4 to 6
- 5 cigarettes each day for weeks 7 to 8
- 1 (or less) cigarettes each day for week 9
- 0 cigarettes each day for for week 10 and beyond.
Obviously and depending on circumstances, your numbers will vary. Plus, there will be times when you'll fail in your objective, which then requires corrective actions. However, the key here is to make gradual changes in your life. Making a change in a gradual manner, gives your body and mind a chance to adapt, adjust and get used to the new introduced circumstances.

My Cat Is Acting Weird
Hello. I need assistance with how my cat is acting.
Around 2 months ago, one of our neighbours moved out. They had a cat which everynight came over to our place and hassled our cat through the window. When they moved out, our cat started to get really cuddly. He would come over almost every 10 minutes for a cuddle or pet or scratches.
A few weeks ago, my mother and I went out for a night. We left on a saturday morning, returned on a sunday evening. During this time, our cat was home alone which normally doesnt bother him. But also during this time, there was a large storm. Now he constantly meows when one of us walks out the door to hang up laundry, go check the mail, go to shop or what ever. He even meows when we are around.
Please help someone

Mid to late April is usually the start of strawberry season for our area, but some fields in eastern North Carolina are still several weeks away from being ready. In addition to a late start, news that virus infected plants may cause a drop in the number of local strawberries has some worried. We spoke with strawberry growers across eastern North Carolina this week to get an idea on the success of this year's crop.

What Are the Benefits of Soy Milk?
The U.S Department of Agriculture recommends 3 cups of dairy products daily for adult men and women. If you follow a strict vegetarian diet, suffer from lactose intolerance or simply crave an alternative to dairy milk, soy milk serves as a suitable alternative and provides essential nutrients that benefit your health. Drink soy milk on its own, or use it in place of dairy milk in recipes.
Macronutrients and Energy
Plain and vanilla soy milk varieties contain 104 calories per cup, the equivalent of a cup of 1 percent dairy milk. Each serving of soy milk offers 4 grams of fat -- a rich source of energy -- as well as 6 grams of protein, a nutrient important for maintaining healthy skin and hair, as well as lean muscle tissue. A serving of soy milk also provides 12 grams of carbohydrates, including 9 grams of sugar. Opting for unsweetened soy milk reduces your sugar intake, since each 1-cup serving of unsweetened soy milk contains just 1 gram of sugar.
Calcium and Copper
Soy milk benefits your bones and teeth by providing you with calcium, a mineral that also helps your muscles and nerves communicate properly. It also contains copper, which keeps your connective tissues healthy, aids in energy production and helps you make myelin, a fatty substance important for nerve health. Each 1-cup serving of soy milk provides 401 micrograms of copper -- 45 percent of your recommended daily intake -- as well as 299 milligrams of calcium, or 30 percent of your daily calcium requirements, according to the Institute of Medicine.
Vitamin B-12 and Choline
A serving of soy milk offers 2.1 micrograms of vitamin B-12, or 88 percent of your recommended daily intake. Like copper, vitamin B-12 helps to maintain healthy myelin. It also plays a role in red blood cell growth and might play a role in cancer prevention. Soy milk also provides choline, a nutrient important for cell communication, nerve function and maintaining healthy cell membranes. Each cup of soy milk contains 57 milligrams of choline -- 10 percent of the daily choline requirements for men or 13 percent for women, according to the Institute of Medicine.
Vitamins A and D
Like dairy milk, many varieties of soy milk come fortified with vitamins A and D. Vitamin A allows your cells to activate or inactivate genes, guides cell development and helps you produce red blood cells. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium from your food, nourishes your immune system and regulates your insulin levels. A cup of soy milk contains 104 international units of vitamin D -- 17 percent of your recommended daily intake -- along with 19 percent of the daily vitamin A requirements for women or 15 percent for men, according to the Institute of Medicine.

Watt back, are the Texans a super cheap nba jerseys defense?. Guide To 2017 Oktoberfest Events In MiamiOktoberfest is a time for celebrating everything German.

Negative and disrespectful comments suggesting otherwise are contrary to the founding principles of our country, and we do not support those comments or opinions.. I'm not surprised a bit," Favre said. Their defense sacked Andy Dalton five times and intercepted him four other times in a 20 0 shutout.
How would he get enough protein? Why would he jeopardize the team's Super Bowl chances? Why in the middle of cattle country would he start eating only vegetables and grains? "I told him, 'If this doesn't work, I'm going to kick your ass,'" his teammate Brian Cushing told Yahoo! Sports.

Joeckel could play at left guard or left tackle, but Carroll may be leaning toward second year player George Fant returning at left tackle.

- Evangelization: helping people to encounter Christ and his saving message in a personal way. "Evangelizing means to bring the Good News into all the strata of humanity, and through its influence transforming humanity from within and making it new" (Pope Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi 18). MGs utilize various means such as personal relationships, supporting family life, ministry to youth, pilgrimages, the theatre, music, poetry, indeed in all ways that humanity creates culture. This proclamation of the Gospel involves helping others to not only see God for who He is, but also to discover their own dignity and vocation (Redemptor Hominis 12). This addresses both the current crisis in faith (spiritual poverty) and the blindness to the value of the human person that is so pervasive nowadays.
- Formation. This involves helping others not only learn about their dignity and their faith, but to also put it into practice (i.e. personal development at every level of the person- intellectual, interpersonal, affective, spiritual and physical). Providing courses and talks that effectively communicate the good news (e.g. Scripture, Philosophical Anthropology, Spiritual Theology, Theology of the Body, Marriage Preparation), and enable people to live the faith they are attracted to. Other types of work that would support this process include prayer groups, retreats, chaplaincy, spiritual direction and counseling. This element of our apostolate addresses the disconnect that many experience between their desire to be close to God (even their knowledge of the faith) and the everyday problems they struggle with.
- Building Community[1] in a time when it is common to be both more connected and less intimate. We strive to help others imitate and experience the profound interpersonal reality of the Blessed Trinity. We cannot realize our potential in isolation from others.[2]
MGs seek to provide a witness of this in the way they live community life,[3] and help other people to experience this communion in concrete ways in their relationships. Whether a person is a mother at home with her children, or a worker in an isolated location, or a person in prison etc. we seek to help them learn how to enter more fully into communion with God and others. We are called to help create spaces where people will feel supported/accepted and able to be themselves as they strive to realize their dignity and live the Gospel. "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Heb 10:24-25). Ultimately this is the process of building the Church, uniting all men and women under the one Kingship (Jn 17:21). It also means helping to build families who are the domestic church, and other groups (e.g. for prayer, study, healing) that can help facilitate formation of the person at every level.
[1] 'We find ourselves now very close to St Thomas, but the path passes not so much through being and existence as through people and their meeting each other, through the 'I' and the 'Thou'. This is a fundamental dimension of man's existence, which is always a co-existence' (CTTOH p36). This includes what JPII referred to as a participation in the humanity of the other in all their personal subjectivity, where we reveal, accept and affirm each other's 'I' (Person and Community). In relation to the formation of priests, JPII says, "of special importance is the capacity to relate to others. This is truly fundamental for a person who is called to be responsible for a community and to be a "man of communion"…People today are often trapped in situations of standardization and loneliness, especially in large urban centers, and they become ever more appreciative of the value of communion. Today this is one of the most eloquent signs and one of the most effective ways of transmitting the Gospel message" Pastores Dabo Vobis, 25 March 1992, para. 43.
[2] God did not create man as a solitary, for from the beginning "male and female he created them" (Gen. 1:27). Their companionship produces the primary form of interpersonal communion. For by his innermost nature man is a social being, and unless he relates himself to others he can neither live nor develop his potential' GS 12. Pope Benedict XVI confirms this in Caritas in Veritate: "As a spiritual being, the human creature is defined through interpersonal relations. The more authentically he or she lives these relations, the more his or her own personal identity matures. It is not by isolation that man establishes his worth, but by placing himself in relation with others and with God" (53).
[3] 'What does most reveal God's presence, however, is the brotherly charity of the faithful who are united in spirit as they work together for the faith of the Gospel (18) and who prove themselves a sign of unity' GS 21.

Incubating some eggs and building a shed
A few developments have transpired since the last blog post. The "big" news is that the place from where we were going to be getting our new chicks left us hangin'. Looks like we won't be able expanding our flock quite as fast as we first thought.
So, what we've decided to do is just hatch our own chicks. Speaking of that, we woke up this morning to see the eggs in our incubator all pipping. And, as the day went on, we started hearing chirping. So, hopefully in the next 12 hours, we'll have three new chicks for our flock.
Also, two of our orpingtons have gone broody. So, we stuck a half-dozen eggs from our barred rocks under them to see how they do at hatching out their own broods. And, once the chicks in our incubator are hatched, we'll re-load for another batch of eggs.
These efforts will take us longer to grow or flock, but it's great to know that we can do this on our own, with our own eggs!
This past week, I've also been working on a new shed, which we'll first use for storage (as we want to clean out the RV), then later use it for a home for the new goats we want to get. The weather has kept me from getting the job done sooner, but today I was able to get the last piece into place, which was the door.
I decided to go with a sliding door, so I took some time and designed my own mechanism for the door. Seems to work pretty well and was easy enough to do. I really enjoy building things ourselves, it really get the creative juices flowing. I can completely understand the meaning behind "necessity being the mother of invention".
That's about all that's been happening these last couple of weeks.

Just for fun I put the colors in Roy G. Biv order so that it instantly transformed into a rainbow fabric chain, which makes anything cute even cuter. It turned out great, and I plan on using it for decoration at Little Man's first birthday party!
Easy to make + re-useable = perfect decoration idea. Plus, it's a great stash-buster.
What you need:
- Assorted fabrics in your color scheme. Each "link" is cut 4 x 10 inches
- Pellon Shape-Flex SF101 interfacing. This helps to stabilize the fabric and give it added stiffness.
1. Cut 4 x 10 inch links from each fabric. I have 29 links and my chain is about 76" long, so each link added about 2.6 inches to the final garland length.
2. Cut your Pellon interfacing into 3 x 9 inch pieces. You'll need the same amount as you have links, so I cut 29 pieces. Follow the directions on the Pellon to fuse the interfacing to the wrong side each link, leaving 1/2 inch all around.
3. At this point, I laid out all my fabrics to get an idea of how I wanted to arrange them, and to see if I had enough of each color.
4. Press in both long sides and one short side 1/2 inch.
5. Fold in half, wrong sides together, and pin. I pinned all the links at the same time so that I could chain-piece them.
6. Starting 1/2" away from the pressed short end, topstitch 1/8" from the edge along both long sides. Backstitch at the beginning and end to secure.
*Make sure to start 1/2 inch away from the short end*
7. To form a link, slide the short end with raw edges into the end with pressed-under edges. Tuck it in about 1/2" and pin. There should be no raw edges showing.
8. Topstitch 1/8" away from where the two short ends overlap. I removed the tray in front of my sewing machine so I had more room to maneuver.
9. Repeat steps 7-8 to form your chain. Make sure to slide your link through the previous one BEFORE pinning and stitching it! If you forget, you have two separate circles, and you have to seam-rip and re-do. I learned this the hard way ;)

As the coffins of four U.S. service members returned to Dover, Del. Wednesday..., Fox News has learned new details about the attack in which they died Sunday in Afghanistan...
Fox News has learned that 13 other service members were also severely injured in the assault...
A Ranger regiment that included 36 troops and a canine unit were attempting to capture a high value target in Panjwai in southern Afghanistan. When the troops arrived at the home, U.S. military officials said, the unit did a typical "call out" asking for those inside to come out.
One man appeared. Reports from the battlefield suggest he dropped to his knees and lifted his shirt to show the U.S. forces that he was not wearing a suicide bomb vest.
As several members of the Ranger unit moved toward the man to begin questioning him, a woman wearing a suicide vest emerged from the house and blew herself up, killing several members of the unit instantly, along with the dog, and injuring others.
Another Afghan male tried to escape from the compound.
As U.S. army medics, explosives specialists and others in the unit moved in to help the wounded, 13 improvised explosive devices went off, killing and injuring more U.S. forces.

Last week, Amsterdam had changed into a winter wonderland of snow and holiday spirit. By now the snow is long gone, but the spirit keeps on growing. I downloaded the Glee Christmas album (I LOVE Glee) and yesterday we trimmed our Christmas tree, it's gigantic and beautiful! But the best is yet to come: there's only one more week of school left before winter break starts!
This is going to be one hell of a Christmas. Next week I'm going to Paris and when I come back my best friend from London will be visiting Amsterdam. After that, there'll be lots of Christmas parties and NYE!
The best thing about Christmas is how it brings everyone home, right where they belong. That and the fact that everyone dresses up fabulously. I can't wait!
One more thing: I've joined Hypeed, the online fashion magazine. The little pink hearts you see next to every picture on my blog now, are links to add the pictures to your personal book of inspirations on Hypeed. If you're not a member of this site, you really should be, because it's pretty amazing!

Determining the day World War II started is not as simple as you might think. Let's start with the date that most Americans are taught in school.
December 7, 1941
The attack on Pearl Harbor is the event that brought the US into World War II and is the day that most people in the US think of as the start of World War II. Most Europeans find this amusing, offensive, proof of Americans ignorance of history and/or a perfect example of American arrogance. There are actually a lot of good reason to pick this date, but if you ask most Europeans they will give you the following date.
September 1, 1939, the Invasion of Poland
For Europe, this is the beginning of World War II. It was when blood was shed, when people in Europe started to die and cities burned. The people of Europe spent just over two years fighting before the US officially joined the war. The problem with this date is that it shows as much of a Eurocentric bias, if not more so, than December 7th 1941, shows a US centric viewpoint. What about this date?
September 18, 1931, the Invasion of Manchuria
After the invasion of Manchuria came the invasion of China proper in 1937. The Chinese spent years fighting the Japanese before the war in Europe started. Events from this theater of war include, for example, the rape of Nanking, the use of chemical and biological weapons by the Japanese, comfort women and other atrocities that are often overlooked by westerners.
Other potential dates for the start of WWII.
- October 3, 1935, the invasion of Ethiopia by Italy. The failure of the League of Nations to stop Italy is often cited as the start of World II.
- March 7, 1936, the remilitarization of the Rhineland. In violation of the treaty that ended WWI, Germany reoccupied the Rhineland. This was the European powers first real chance to stop Hitler.
- October 1, 1938, the annexing of the Sudetenland. When the Untied Kingdom and France handed the Sudetenland over to Germany the world lost the last chance to prevent the war in Europe.
When did World War II start?
I asked my wife that question, she gave me the best answer I have heard in a long time. She thought for a second and said, "that depends on where you were." Of course history hates answers like that, so I have three dates I feel that are valid.
December 7, 1941
The attack on Pearl Harbor was the event that brought the last of the major players into the war and unified the war in Asia and the war in Europe into one globe spanning World War. It also brought the United Kingdom into the war in Asia. Before that event, there was a war in Europe and a war in Asia. It is not a big stretch to say that on December 7th, those two wars became one World War. In this case I say that December 7th was the end of the beginning of World War II.
September 18, 1931
Japan invading Manchuria was the start of the war between China and Japan. That was the first military conflict between the two of the nations that fought WWII. This seems as valid of a start date as any. The invasion of Manchuria could be seen as the beginning of the beginning World War II.
My choice for the beginning of World War II is November 11, 1918.
The end of World War I was the start of World War II. In Europe, the decision to not totally defeat Germany combined with the failure to create a just peace was the reason for the rise of the Nazis. Germany did not feel that they were defeated, but rather that they were betrayed. Combine that with the oppressive war reparations that the allies imposed on Germany and you have the perfect conditions for the rise of the Nazi party. In the Pacific, Japan was on the side of the allies and easily captured many of Germany's colonies. The ease of Japan's victories inspired both the massive expansion of the Japanese navy and the rise of militarism in Japan during the 1920s and 1930s. The failure of the allies to truly end World War I did not just cause World War II, but was also the reason that World War II ended the way it did. The US believed that a just peace was the only way to secure a lasting peace at the end of World War I. After much discussion, and finally the threat by France and the United Kingdom to not pay the loans the US gave the allies during the war, the US agreed to allow the punishment of Germany. At the end of World War II, the US and other allies were not going to accept anything but the complete defeat of the Germany and Japan. After the war, the US worked hard to rebuild Germany and Japan, as well the rest of western Europe and create a lasting peace and turn enemies into allies.

MIDDLEBURY-Downtown merchants in Middlebury are less than a week away for the town's first Annual Middlebury Winter Carnival and Chili Contest. The event is planned for this Saturday, Feb. 21. The public is invited to share the fun and enjoy lots of good food.
The downtown event also includes some added bonuses-free public skating, snowshoe races, an open house at the Middlebury Fire Station, dog sled demonstrations, a big bonfire, and a winter ball that will be open to folks of all ages.
Headlining the event will be a regional chili contest, taking place on the sidewalks of Main Street and Merchants Row, 3-5 p.m. Other towns, such as Rutland and Poultney, have discovered that chili festivals lure lots of people to their downtown areas, so now its Middlebury's turn try this success formula.
Details about the event can be found at www.middbiz.org.
