About Spiaggia delle Dune
Le Dune beach (Spiaggia delle Dune) in the locality of Porto Pino is a gorgeous lick of silky white sand with a length of nearly two kilometers. It is located right on the border between the provinces of Cagliari and Carbonia-Iglesias, south-east of the small coastal villages of Porto Pino and Porto Pinetto. Le Dune faces south-west, offering views of the Punta Tonnara and Punta Menga headlands in the north. Also known as White Sands, this masterpiece of nature is backed by Stagno del Corvo and Stagno de Foxi, two lagoons where migratory birds including flamingos come to spend their summer days. Le Dune beach can get up to 300 meters wide and is one of the widest beaches in South Sardinia. You'll be mesmerized by the majestic rolling dunes behind Spiaggia delle Dune. These can rise to 30 meters. Juniper trees and other Mediterranean greenery cover the inland dunes to complete the beautiful scenery. The contrast between the white dunes and the astonishingly blue waters will literally take your breath away! Beach umbrellas, deck chairs and pedal boats are available for rent. You'll also find a few beach bars and eateries. The seabed of Le Dune beach has a gradual slope; it is suitable for families with children. Beach activities include underwater fishing and snorkeling. Long walks, or an early morning run along the shoreline spring to mind as well, as Spiaggia delle Dune connects to Porto Pino Beach to the north. In total, this pristine arc of white sand is nearly 4 kilometers long. Should you decide to pay Le Dune beach a visit, be sure to bring a camera because this is as scenic as the beaches of South Sardinia can get!
How To Get To Spiaggia delle Dune
It's easy to reach Le Dune beach from the villages of Teulada, Sa Portedda, and Sant'Anna Arresi. From Teulada, head west on the Strada Statale 195 Sulcitana toward Via Enrico Addis. After 13 kilometers, turn left onto Via Porto Pino and continue on the Strada Provinciale 73. After 2 kilometers, turn left onto Via Risorgimento. Keep heading south and go around Stagno de Foxi. You'll eventually reach Le Dune Posteggio, a large parking lot just behind the lagoon. The walk from the parking lot to the dunes behind the beach will be about 300 meters. A wooden path will lead you to the beach.

Spiaggia Portopineddu
The cozy beach of Portopineddu (Spiaggia Portopineddu) has a length of only 125 meters, but don't let its small size fool you; it has a gorgeous lick of white sand and usually remains quiet even during high season. For these reasons, we've added it to our overview of Best Beaches of South Sardinia. Spiaggia Portopineddu faces south, offering excellent views of the headlands of Punta Menga. On the right side of the beach, you'll see Punta Sa Bua, a rocky outcrop that provides a nice spot to take some pictures of your holiday in Southern Sardinia. The shallow waters around the rocks offer a few good spots for some afternoon snorkeling. The beach is backed by a combination of small sand dunes and pine forests, through which a few beachfront villas are scattered. The beach is easily accessible through a short walk through the pine forest. The sandy bottom makes the water easily accessible. Spiaggia Portopineddu is suitable for families with children. Highly recommended!

Movember Party with South Rakkas
10:00 pm
1489 East Hastings Street
Vancouver, British Columbia
South Rakkas Crew ( Mad Decent)
w/ ELdjLOCO
At The Waldorf
Nov 28th 2014
Vancouver get ready to shake your collective Booty when South Rakkas Crew performs live in the Tabu room at The Waldorf.
The dance floor will be jumping as D-Rakkas spings the best mix of Tropical Bass, Electro, Dancehall, Reggae, Hip Hop and Trap.
South Rakkas Crew
D-Rakkas spent his youth as a charismatic, party-starting DJ (Rakkas
is in fact a local West Indian slang term for rockers music that he used to print on his DJ flyers to indicate his parties music policy). The concept for South Rakkas Crew first hatched, though, when he moved to his current home base in Orlando, Florida to manage Riprock n Alex G Ent., a company that, at the time, was a crucial part of N Syncs production team. There, D-Rakkas conceptualized SRC to satisfy his creative need to fuse his love for electronic music with Jamaican culture. D-Rakkas first album, Clappas, quickly proved a major island and European smash, earing SRC the moniker The founders of Electro-Dancehall. Jamaican and non-Jamaican audiences alike quickly grew to appreciate SRCs talent for fusing hook-laden song structure with sound-system destroying beats.
XLR8R recently praised South Rakkas for their boundary-pushing powers: indeed, these futuristic rhythm killers cant be held down to any one sound or style. SRC can flex from Beenie Man and Bounty Killer one moment, T-Pain the next and then on to the likes of M.I.A., Lily Allen, Beck, Duran Duran, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Shakira all of whom have been touched by South Rakkas edgy studio savvy. It is this same approach that has made international DJ D-Rakkas such a sought after talent for clubs and festivals all over the planet. He intelligently uses a mass of influences in his unique brand of Electro dance music production and seamlessly drops it in his sets: Electro, Dancehall, House, Moombahton, Trap, Dubstep, old school Hip Hop, Reggae, etc., etc.
When beat king Diplo put out South Rakkas Mad Again and The Mix Up EP on his Mad Decent label, the blogosphere proved unanimous in its praise: Prefix raved about Mix Ups production perfection. The Washington Post gave it an extremely rare A+ rating, while Thom Yorke was dropping the Boy 8-Bit mix of Mad Again during his guest deejaying on Gilles Petersons BBC radio show. Trip-hop titan Tricky chose SRC to remix his entire West Knowles Boy album, garnering rapturous press.
When it comes to knowing what smashes a dance, few production outfits can match South Rakkas Crew.
South Rakkas Crew make some of the most electrifying dance music on the planet. –The Guardian
ELdjLOCO, while he upholds a strong presence in Western Canadas nightlife scene as a highly sought after Club DJ, his skill and professionalism have also made him the top DJ choice of companies such as Red Bull, Nike, Salomon, Joey Restaurants, Red Truck Beer, Steve Nash Fitness, Lululemon and West 49.ELdjLOCO has also shared the stage with touring acts such as Grandtheft, South Rakkas Crew, DJ Ayres, DJ Eleven, Funk Hunters, Jokers of the Scene, Prevail of Swollen Members, Chris Laroque, and Vince Vaccaro. He has provide the entertainment to audiences into the thousands with appearances at the Center of Gravity Festival, Bearclaw Invitational FMB Wolrd Tour Stop, Red Bull Art of Flight Premiere, UBCO FROSH and international gigs including two showcases in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, where he has performed at both Caesars Palace and Mandalay Bay.
His Current Residencies in Vancouver include the world famous Mountain Madness Mondays which he has been promoting and DJing at for nine years and Vice Saturdays at the LampLighter Public House, one of the citys most popular weekend party destinations.

I glided through sentence after sentence, volume after volume, on my Android in the nighttime darkness. The experience was remarkably … Proustian.
I was absolutely thrilled to read this wonderful description by Sarah Boxer of her experience of reading on her phone, in bed, in the dark. You can find the whole thing online at The Atlantic. After explaining her numerous failed attempts to read Proust all the way through, she reports that reading it on her cellphone was like no other reading experience she's had before or since. This is how she did it:
Make sure no one else is awake. Turn off the lights. Your windows can stay open. Now turn on your phone and begin reading. Repeat as necessary each night. Do not stop until the very last word of the very last volume, Time Regained.
My favourite paragraph of all goes like this:
Your cellphone screen is like a tiny glass-bottomed boat moving slowly over a vast and glowing ocean of words in the night. There is no shore. There is nothing beyond the words in front of you. It's a voyage for one in the nighttime. Pure romance.
Now, I have to say that although I read stuff on my cellphone all the time, it's never been my tool of choice for whole books, let alone seven volumes, and I do tend to read with the light on. But maybe Sarah Boxer has changed my mind, because now I really crave her glass-bottomed boat gliding across a glowing ocean.

Laser marking is typically used for processes such as applying labels with bar codes, date codes, QR codes, serial numbers, part numbers or adding copyright / trademarks and logos to a number of different surfaces in many industries. Another popular use is the addition of a date value being added to materials such as metals and plastics; this could be used as a best before date or maintenance due date, etc. Additionally laser marking is useful in the creation of ID and smartcards offering high degrees of fraud prevention.
The best traditional engraving materials started out being the worst laser-engravable materials. This problem has now been solved using lasers at shorter wavelengths than the traditional 10,640 nm wavelength CO2 laser. Using Yb: Fiber Lasers, Nd:YVO4 or Nd:YAG lasers at 1,064 nm wavelength, or its harmonics at 532 and 355 nm, metals can now easily be engraved using commercial systems.

Discussion in 'World Events' started by sculptor, Aug 23, 2016.
caveat in another video-tedtalk, she says 7
Log in or Sign up to hide all adverts.
Videos, the junk food that powers wingnut "thought".
Because reading and writing don't work very well, for that purpose.
It was a good point she made about our movies.
They see themselves as freedom fighters against a dominating superpower that is trying to wipe them out.
I do not believe we will ever find peace until we acknowledge that they are not evil monsters, they are fighting for their dwindling way of life.
She has been described as being naive.
Let us assume that her advice is a beginning.
Then how do we unwind the empire with limited bloodshed?
A beginning is still a beginning.
There are only three possible long-term outcomes:
One side wipes out the other.
Both sides continue bloodshed for eternity.
Each side comes to an understanding of the other.
The only viable one is #3.
The first step is to get at least one side (specifically, the citizens themselves) to see #3 as the goal, and reject 1 and 2.
Attrition of old guard, replaced with new guard...
Cahnging attitudes...
On a different note, I think label of naivete has a positive spin.
No disillusioned monkey will ever reach for the banana. Only a naive monkey - perhaps better called an idealist monkey - will flout the status quo to break the cycle.
But #2 is more likely.
gee darn
Is the mic and their warmongering shills just too powerful to defeat?
You can't "defeat" warmongers by war.
There's a fourth: the aggressor quits fighting, and in the absence of their aggression a long term truce or peace holds. No mutual "understanding" is required. An example would be China and the US after the Korean War, and again after the Vietnam War.
Liberals have been saying that, acknowledging that, for your entire lifetime. And your parents's.
So who's the "we"?
Did you mean "liberals" like Ron Paul?
Perhaps, we need a real "liberal" party and should shun the neocon democrats?
I mean liberals and Ron Paul.
Who do you think Dave's "we" is?
Meanwhile, the lack of political representation for leftwing libertarians - when most of the country is (if issue polls are to be attended at all) more left and more libertarian than either of the Parties extant - has been an issue for a generation. You aren't going to find any by shunning Democrats, though - digging in the wrong direction, that is. Primary them, maybe - that worked for the Republican rightwing authoritarians: they moved the whole country's politics.
<-------------Libertarian socialist peacenik.
Pity that I never had a chance to vote for the ticket Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
Separate names with a comma.

May mas malaki tayong kalaban sa mga Amerikano– ang ating sarili.
This line is just one of the quotable quotes delivered by John Arcilla in his hard-hitting movie "Heneral Luna."
Arcilla portrayed the character of General Antonio Luna who showed how he was willing to risk his own life, while leaving his family behind and forsaking his love interest, Isabel (Mylene Dizon) for a higher purpose which is to fight for the independence of Philippines from the Americans.
While President Emilio Aguinaldo (Mon Confiado) and other authorities under his rule, Felipe Buencamino (Nonie Buencamino) and Pedro Paterno (Leo Martinez) believed that the country could still be independent under the Americans, Heneral Luna stood for his own principle, which was to defeat the Americans.
Buencamino and Paterno talked against Luna and told Aguinaldo that Luna wanted to replace him as the country's president and be a dictator. In the movie, there was a scene wherein Luna received a letter from Aguinaldo, telling him to go Cabanatuan to meet him. However, when he arrived, Aguinaldo was not there. Instead, it was Buencamino who met Luna amd said that Aguinaldo left early.
The movie depicted how Filipinos could go against his own people and be divided. The Filipinos' worst enemy at that time was their own countrymen themselves, as each one had his own agenda, and could not be at peace with one another. Luna was killed by Filipinos themselves, though it was not really made clear if it was Aguinaldo or Buencamino who ordered his death.
"Heneral Luna" is an eye-opener, and its lessons are still applicable until now. Our greatest enemy is ourselves, as a cliche may say, but it is actually the theme of the movie, and really speaks of a truth. The country needs a hero like Heneral Luna who did not put his own interest ahead of the others. He looked at the welfare of his own people, and fought hard just to grant freedom to the Filipinos, but sadly, those above him did not agree with what he wanted, as they strive hard to be a friend of the colonizers– the Americans.
Luna was not portrayed as a kind man but a hard general indeed, who made it a point to enforce that no one is above the law, not even the President. He seemed to be an impulsive man when it comes to his decisions, like in the scene when the Americans went against his troop, and some of his people left the war zone, fearing for their own lives. Luna rode a horse, and shot the American soldiers, only to encourage those who stayed with him to fight against the Americans. If the general can do that, why can't his people? He showed how a leader should act, that he should not only be commanding, but can also execute his own commands.
"Heneral Luna" is a movie worth watching as it inspires collaborative effort to Filipinos who want the best for their country.

Complaint about Empire Today
Following a leak into my downstairs neighbors' unit, it was determined (by 2 plumbers) that the shower they installed 4 and a half years ago was installed very poorly, and the shower pan was sinking around the drain, breaking the seal and thus causing the leak. The pan needs to be re-installed, or another pan installed.
My insurance company talked to them. I put in a service request on 10/26/11, and was told someone would contact me within 1-3 business days. Noone did. I called again on Oct. 31, and the earliest day a plumber would come, their employee said, was Friday, Nov. 3. The appointment was made for 2 PM.
Today, Nov. 3, their plumber called before 8 am to tell me the person who was supposed to come "had a family emergency" and could only come Sat., nov. 4 in the morning. I refused; I received another call again a few minutes later, just before 8 AM, and was told that someone was on his way and would arrive at 9 am... 20 mins later, their plumber called again, saying the #5 Freeway was very slow, and he would be late. When I told him he messed up my day, he told me I "messed up his day too". 1) How professional is that? 2) It is now 10:20 AM, and noone has showed up. Somehow, I very much doubt that I will see today a plumber from Empire Today.
It is obvious that Empire Today is are failing to fulfill their responsibilities, that the shower stall was not installed according to professional standards, and that I incurred a major prejudice, through their fault. My shower has been non-operational for several weeks.
Empire Today seems incapable of sending me a COMPETENT PERSON, WHO COMES AT THE STATED TIME, so that my shower pan can be replaced properly and professionally. I will need to have the work done by a licensed plumber of my choice and have them pay the bill. Since I have the feeling that I would have difficulty recovering that money, I am filing a complaint with the BBB, and/or filing a legal procedure against Empire Today; I will also request that their license be revoked. I will not only claim financial damages, but personal and emotional prejudice. All the more since I already had a leak problem right after they installed the shower in May 2007.
Product or Service Mentioned: Empire Today Installation.
Monetary Loss: $5.

Nights in Yangon begin a bit like this. I'm pulling my big suitcase with a broken wheel down a puddly, dirt path in utter darkness. Pitch black, save for the huge luminous pagoda that lingers nearby over the lake next to Florent's house. The city is a dusty darkling, save for the brightness in the face of the Burmese woman striding beside me, clutching a different handle on this foresaken bag. We reach a street. Florent drifts into the light on his bike. "I'm heading the opposite way to find a taxi." Apparently, we are in a rush to get me to the bus stop (JJ's or Joyous Journeys Bus to Mandalay) since the traffic has been terrible recently. 20km could take an hour. I pay no mind. Besides, it's difficult to stop doing double-takes at that pagoda (called "paya" in Burmese). Because the bottom isn't as well lit, it appears to be floating, suspended. Couples lean easily on mopeds parked close to the shore, clutching each other, their chatter agreeable and soft.
And my level of sheer, smiling content, in this country and at this moment near Pyay Road, is illimitable.
My experience has been one of only 48 hours so far. But the degree of hospitality that the people of Myanmar conduct almost thoughtlessly is already apparent. I sit in the taxi that's swerving between lanes to get me to my bus on time. Nearly hitting dogs, bikers with no lights, and passerby. He meanders through sidestreets to avoid traffic along a road where the government is supposedly engaging in construction. About time!! Judging by the complete neglect the junta demonstrates toward public infrastructure – especially related to transport, i.e transportation
anywhere (car, train, by foot) – I find the construction zone sort of funny. People use the streets to walk by night, as only the adventurous would walk through the hazardous thoroughfare of 2m deep holes, cracks, and piles of refuse or bricks. In the backseat, I chew on betel nuts, blissed out. Its a bit dizzying, this concoction. You must not bite, but sort of gently grind the leaf-wrapped nut between your teeth. Supposed to be good for digestion, but the taste lingers on the border of too-poignant – like eating perfume.
I think of my first day. My feet picking their way through the maze of streets in central Yangon, like an over-sized market or grocery store. One long street boasts only electronics shops. The most delicious spicy pork noodle soup at the dingy King Cafe, sitting on small round plastic stools and sipping green tea. People grinning from their foodstalls, their array of mysterious fried bugs of the Isaan cuisine or equally mysterious fruits and vegetables laid out in woven baskets. They don't call at you or heckle you as they do in Thailand, they simply grin. And fan the flies away. Even taxi drivers charge a fair price; I pause at each offer to make the calculations in my head ($1 = 846 kyat) and its always reasonable. The ride is complete with a discussion with the driver of family, points of interest along the way, even politics.
Things have freed up considerably. As I wonder at the unimaginably corny Burmese pop music videos and performances at City FM's 10th Anniversary event (we watched this on the bus), a man next to me from the Chin province points every so often and says, "See this? Would've never been allowed 3 years ago." He's a Pentecostal preacher heading to a conference; his father had converted from animism to Christianity many years before. Where there was only 1 state-run radio station before (City FM), now there are 4 or 5. Videos with hostile or profane lyrics or girls dressed in anything above the knee used to be censored, now they are clearly aired. As I can see from my seat..Swooning girls, love songs, one is clearly a Kelly Clarkson tune.
Will post more about the day (including a 3-hour long trainride with farmers from the outer rings of Yangon's townships and the Shwedagon Pagoda) soon. Must navigate Mandalay and find some Bamar eatert nearby…

Artists bio available upon request
This pottery is inspired by the ceramics of antiquity.
Art from the civilizations of the Fertile Crescent, which has survived to this day, evokes a desert world a world that remains largely a mystery.
In this hurried life we seek rest and repose an oasis where refreshment and peace prevail. These pots are from that place and, it is hoped, radiate a sense of history, of mystery and dignity. They're called OASIS out of an appreciation for integrated living and a guess that we may recover a certain dignity by finding a model in our own past.
My love of the desert informs the color choices. The pitted and multicolored surfaces are intentional. May they bring desert textures, colors, quietude - and mystery to the table.

Saturday night, a "friend" of mine called me a "nice piece" repeatedly, followed by asking my boyfriend several times if he was going to "tap that". A year ago, I would have awkwardly laughed about this while boiling on the inside. I would have nervously said "oh knock it off" with a fake smile on
Sometimes, the person who was wronged can't just forgive and forget, especially if their feelings were never acknowledged
There were times when I have forgiven someone without getting an apology. I chose to forgive so I could move on with my life and not be burdened with resentment. More often than not, I can walk away from the person who wronged me and know that I'm better off without them in my life.
Do not judge me, the person I was last year is so far removed from the person I am right now
I'm making a vow, right now, to never use someone's past against them if they have made a conscious effort to be better. We do it all the time. Every day. Especially now that everything seems to be so politically charged. But at what point do we just let go? At what point do we
We suffer, we hurt and often left with scars that will never fully heal
A dear friend of mine recently suffered an unimaginable loss. As we were eating dinner together and catching up on each other's lives, her eyes filled with tears and suddenly she was overcome with sadness. She expressed that she felt as though she hasn't had time to grieve properly and she just couldn't understand why
The elderly man reminded me to stop worrying and count my blessings, not my problems
An elderly man just left my office. He was quite talkative, and honestly, I'm kind of surprised I didn't find a way to politely wrap up the conversation like I sometimes do on a busy work day. But I could see that he just wanted someone to talk to and he was cheerful and pleasant, and
I do not need to explain myself anymore, it is too exhausting
Being insecure means constantly explaining yourself. It's the need for validation and reassurance. It's wanting approval and justifying every move you make. It's panic when you feel like you've let someone down or maybe you didn't say the right thing. It's desperately seeking acceptance. But mostly, it's just exhausting. Being the people-pleaser that I am,
When you don't know your worth, you make poor choices
"I spent so many years walking on egg shells… never doing or saying the right thing. One day I decided I'd had enough and stomped all over them. Those broken egg shells cut me deeply as I walked away… but this… was the most beautiful pain I had ever felt." – S.L. Heaton For far
Everyone has a breaking point, when you know enough is enough
You're afraid and you know that making a change is going to hurt like hell, but you also know, without a doubt, that a change has to be made. There's no turning back. So often we tell ourselves that things will get better; the other person will change. Sometimes we even convince ourselves that we're overreacting.
I've been blaming all of my pain on the loss of my dad, but I was hiding from the truth
I have been in therapy since I was 24. When my dad died, I couldn't get a hold of myself. Everything about me was just…dark. I would come home every day and try so hard to be the best mom I could be to my little boy, but I would always end up retreating into
How often do you look up certain people on Facebook only to become angry?
How often do you look up certain people on Facebook or Instagram only to become annoyed, jealous or angry? We all do it. We torture ourselves. We cyber stalk people and then compare our lives to theirs. We compare our relationships, our goodness, our beauty and our happiness. Why? We start with low self-esteem, we
As I got older, I no longer have patience for narcissism and manipulation
I have always been a people-pleaser. I go with the flow and I don't make waves. I have been breaking my own heart to keep everyone else happy. But since turning 40, like literally, the day I turned 40, I started to feel this shift and I just knew it was going to be a

Hello all,
today is our last day in Uganda. Inspire of the exhausting day yesterday, we had to get up very early today. 7:30 was breakfast and at 8:45, we had to load the trucks with our luggage. After a church service of all participants and local staff, we had some time to discuss our experiences and impressions of the race and the week, within our team.
After lunch with the view on the lake Bunyonyi we started our trip home. Our flight back was from the capital of Ruanda Kigali, as its airport is much closer than the airport of Kampala. So we had to pass the boarder to Ruanda, which is a challenge for itself. It's a border with still a real barrier and with a lot of bureaucracy.
They also don't check the passport and visa only, they check each luggage very carefully. The customer officers don't search for weapons, drugs, smuggle good as we would expect, but they search for every kind of plastic bag, as plastic bags are strictly forbidden in Ruanda. Even this was very time consuming, this wasn't our issue, but our luggage truck. After endless checks and discussions, it turned out, that the truck was registered as stolen and the police didn't allow us to use it further. So we decided to use one of our three buses as "luggage truck" and distribute the passengers of this bus to the other two. So we finally finish our trip to the airport in a typical African way, using 2 seats by 3 passengers.
With enough time we arrived at the airport and said heartfelt good bye to the Compassion-Team of Uganda, which escorted us. Especially Rita had become a very good friend of all of us and I learned a lot from her about Uganda and the complexity of poverty.
Good bye Uganda. We will keep you in our heart.
After a long flight, with stops in Kampala and in Istanbul, we finally arrived in Germany.

Cypriot President Tassos Papadopoulos' (right) meeting with French President Jacques Chirac in November laid the groundwork for a defense agreement. (Photo: Jacques Collet / AFP-Getty Images)
Oil drilling rights in the eastern Mediterranean Sea has emerged as an issue over the past few months following an initiative enacted by the Cypriot government to hand out research and drilling rights for oil reservoirs that might be found deep under the sea, and worth some $500 billion.
Cyprus proceeded to cooperate with interested parties of geographical proximity—Egypt and Lebanon—whose exclusive economic zones might also be rich in oil. Further, it seems likely that Israel and Cyprus will form a consensus on how to share the wealth to be found.
Naturally, the developments that unfolded between January and March attracted the attention of Turkey, which hastily made threatening demands against Cyprus. On Jan. 27, the president of the pseudo-state of Northern Cyprus, Mehmet Ali-Talat, stated that there was a chance that unexpected and violent developments could occur due to Cyprus' actions in relation to the oil issue.
On Jan. 30, the Turkish daily Hurriet reported Ankara's demand that the Lebanese and Egyptian governments withdraw their intention to search for oil in an area that Turkey had interests in as well. Moreover, the newspaper noted the willingness of the Turkish administration to react dynamically should its interests not be taken into account.
Further statements issued by Ankara and Nicosia resulted in the circumnavigation of Cyprus by the Turkish Navy in a "Tour de force" in early February. By that time, the overall situation had resulted in a multitude press releases and op-eds in Turkey, Cyprus, and Greece commenting on the possibility of a conflict over oil.
On March 6, American ambassador to Cyprus Ronald Schlicher addressed the public in Cyprus via the CNN Turk TV station and expressed the opinion that it is Cyprus' solemn right to decide if it wishes to exploit oil that is found in its territorial or exclusive economic zone. This was a clear indication that the United States is very interested in securing influence in Cyprus in order to gain contracts for the extraction of oil.
Despite Turkish opposition, Cyprus has already begun the process of initiating a bidding procedure for the oil fields. The first tests will occur in 11 areas off southern Cyprus. The total surface area is around 70,000 square kilometers. French consultants employed by the Cypriot government have stated that at depths in excess of 3,000 meters there is a high probability of discovering natural gas fields as well.
Cyprus has already stated that it will issue three types of permits in relation to the oil fields. The first permit will be for one-year long tests, the second for three years, and the third a 25-year development license by which the companies will be able to produce and process oil and gas. As part of its marketing endeavors, from now until mid-July (when the first permits are set to be issued), the Cypriot government plans to organize trips to the major oil capitals of the world in order to promote the new riches of the island to prospective investors.
These recent developments are also related to previous Turkish-Israeli initiatives that started back in 2001 when the Geophysical Institute of Israel, an Israeli research team, and the TRAO Co. (Turkish petroleum) made explorations in the Alexandretta Gulf close to the Turkey-Syria border. The head of the Israeli group, Ephraim Levi, stated in the Turkish press that there were large amounts of gas as well in the wider area and that the results from the initial research were positive and satisfactory.
Over the past few years, the cooling down of Turkish-Israeli relations has put a hold on their joint exploration project, although it hasn't been abandoned. The newest upc on energy relations between the two states was Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's visit to Ankara in late February to discuss the plan of constructing a sub-water oil pipeline from Turkey's Ceyhan port to Israel's Ashkelon port.
It is important to note that Ceyhan is a major oil terminal for the eastern Mediterranean region and the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline transferring oil from Azerbaijan ends there. Therefore, oil politics in this periphery region is related to the wider geoeconomic structure as it has been formed since the end of the Cold War and, of course, attracts the interest of all global powers and energy-related entities.
Another notable development is the agreement reached between Libya and Turkey in late 2004 on the exploitation of probable oil basins off the coast of Libya. The estimated investment by Turkish companies was estimated at $2 billion, albeit there is no current information on whether the research findings were satisfactory to proceed with commercial exploitation.
For the time being, the issue of Cypriot oil is gathering importance and interested parties are trying to place themselves in a position of advantage. Large oil companies from the United States, Russia, Britain, China, Norway, France, and Germany seem to be interested in investing for Cyprus' assumed offshore hydrocarbon reservoirs.
The importance of energy has affects the culmination of various diplomatic and geopolitical schemes. The American administration that traditionally gravitates toward a pro-Turkish stance in the perennial Cypriot issue has moved a bit toward addressing the sensitivities of Cyprus and the relations between the two states can be considered excellent for the time being. The American ambassador to Cyprus said in April that his country continues to value Cyprus as a close partner in the joint effort to combat terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and organized crime.
Addressing a ceremony for the donation of an underwater camera by the American Embassy and the United States Customs Service to Cyprus' Marine Police, Schlicher said that he was pleased "the U.S. and Cyprus continue to work closely together in many areas and that our cooperation with Cypriot law enforcement agencies continues to be excellent."
The ambassador also said: "We continue to value Cyprus as a close partner in our joint struggles against terrorism, against proliferation and against organized crime and we look forward to further joining efforts to help increase the safety and welfare of the citizens of both our nations."
A development worth mentioning is France's dynamic involvement in Cyprus and the wider Mediterranean region. Cyprus and France recently signed a defense agreement in a bid to strengthen bilateral relations. The agreement was signed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nicosia by Cypriot Minister of Foreign Affairs Yiorgos Lillikas and French Minister of Defense Michele Alliot-Marie.
In statements after the signing ceremony, Lillikas expressed his satisfaction and noted that it is a natural development of everything that was agreed during President Tassos Papadopoulos' meeting with President Jacques Chirac in November.
"France and Cyprus have always had excellent political relations, they have and share a common vision on international issues and now as EU partners have shown that with their approach they can contribute to peace in the Middle East," Lillikas added.
"The crisis in Lebanon gave both countries the chance to cooperate in the military field with benefits not only for both countries but mainly for Middle East countries. I wish and hope that just as Cyprus proved to be a factor of stability in the Middle East region, the solution to the Cyprus problem and Cyprus' reunification will prove that Cyprus can, reunited, with the cooperation of all partners such as France, help in peace and stability in the region," he said.
Alliot-Marie said that it was an agreement that strengthens relations between the two ministries, and added: "It provides for greater exchange in training issues, on the level of joint maneuvers, when analyzing the geostrategic situation. It is a continuation of the existing relations."
Both states now train jointly regularly and French Special Operations Forces are backing UN forces in Lebanon through the use of Cypriot bases. Recent information that surfaced in a Greek defense journal revealed that a Cypriot unit will participate in a military parade on July 14 in Paris—the first time an EU army corps has been invited for the French national holiday, a sure indication of the progress relations between these two countries have made.
Cyprus has upgraded its political, economic, and military value and apart from the three forces of the 1959 Zurich treaty (Greece, Turkey, and Britain), the United States, France, and Russia as well as the surrounding Middle Eastern states are entangled in regional political developments that among other things include energy security.
Cyprus is a well-developed state and a recent report published by the European Commission last month describes its future economic prospects as "excellent." The production of hydrocarbon will further empower this island of 800,000 to become the regional hub of southeastern Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Middle East, thus reaching out to a market of around one billion people.
The delicate geopolitical balances, however, should be made note of since the turbulent recent history of the region has produced conflicts and quagmires mostly related to the control of energy routes and supplies. The aspirations of some of the strongest global interest groups will dictate the fate of the eastern Mediterranean centered on Cyprus based on the "black gold" beneath its surface.

Microsoft May Cut Zune Streaming Music Price, Executive Says
Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, may cut the monthly fee it charges for streaming music on its Zune portable player, senior product manager Terry Farrell said in an interview.
Zune Pass, which features unlimited music streaming and 10 song downloads a month, now costs $14.99. Farrell didn't say by how much Microsoft may cut the service's price.
"It's definitely a challenging business," Farrell said, referring to competition in online music.
Microsoft is contending with rivals that offer music at little or no charge, while striving to erode Apple's lead in the market for digital music players and downloadable songs. RealNetworks Inc.'s Rhapsody service in April slashed the monthly price of a premium music service to $10 from $14.99.

Hey ladies so an idea popped into my head literally an hour ago haha. I was thinking I would do a polyvore post to go with some of my nail posts. This is my first time ever working with polyvore but I sort of do it in real life cutting out magazine clippings and making collages. I like to save my favorite things in my fashion mags instead of saving the whole magazine. There was a point it looked a bit Hoarder-ish.
I already planned to do Polyvore posts I just think it'll be cool to match them with some of my nail themes during the 31 Day Challenge. I hope you like the idea and I hope you like the posts! Please let me know what you think of this idea, leave a comment or email me!!
Thanks for stopping by! XOXO

I am managing to get in two posts in December and I am pretty impressed with myself for that. There is much to be said for this accomplishment considering all that I've had going on. But, we've finished most of the holiday baking, created a new tradition for me in the process, and gotten the majority of the Christmas shopping and wrapping done. I still have a few last minute gifts to pick up though but can't do that until payday. So, unfortunately I will be one of those many people at Walmart on Christmas Eve trying to snatch up the last of the gifting items. But between work and doctors and so forth its been a very hectic month or two.
So, let's start with the fun stuff!
Our house has all these incredible smells this time of year. My momma and I are baking fools. I think I mentioned having given her the stand mixer as an early Christmas present in the last post and showed off our Thanksgiving creation. Well, we also spent four days working on this beauty. And we really had a blast doing it. We also made about eight dozen cookies and spent loads of time decorating sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies.
The picture is a bit misleading about the size of that house though. It ended up being about 11 inches tall and is sitting on a 16 by 16 inch board. Yes, it was all edible with few exceptions. wrappers on a couple of the candies and then the little figurines were originally ring pops that we snipped the ring off of but left them on the pedestals to attach to the board.
All the cookies we've made have been going into gifts and I've been taking to the office as a holiday treat for my customers. I'm just nice like that I guess. But then we also made a new tradition with the gingerbread house. After some thought we decided to donate the house and these cupcakes to a special needs children care center here locally. They had their Christmas party yesterday and we were able to take them on Friday when I was going to the follow up on the hospital stay last month. I hope that the kids enjoyed them. I know that eyes were lighting up when we brought it in to drop it off. So it was a good thing.
This year has brought about some tough realizations for me. Primarily that I won't have kids to pass on these fun traditions to. Anyone who knows me personally knows how much I love kids in general. So, I've decided to make it a tradition of making a cake or gingerbread house or something like it to donate to the center each year or some other children-related nonprofit. Its both a lot of work and a ton of fun. And since I can't have kids of my own, doing something with children to give back seems to me to be a great idea.
The follow up went well and that means that there are a number of things that are going to happen in year thirty seven for me. The whole experience was a wake up call about my health. Being in the hospital and nearly having to be shocked to get my heart back in rhythm was pretty scary. So my Christmas gift to myself is getting back into a gym. And as a result getting back to feeling better about myself.
This year has been about embracing my own self-worth and learning to set boundaries. Sometimes those boundaries change things. Sometimes they make things better and then there are times when they complicate things. In the end it is about respecting yourself and the person that you are. For a long time I have tried to make everyone else comfortable and happy. So much so that I neglected myself in the process. There are times when old habits die hard but, it is time to stop putting everyone ahead of my own goals and happiness.
All that being said, those are reflections for another post. I think I can manage another one before we finally see the end of 2015. Until then, I leave you with a sweet tooth from all the goodies. And wish you all a very Merry Christmas just in case I don't post again before the big day. Hope you get everything on your wishlist and realize the true meaning of the season as well.

To celebrate the fact that Fall (winter) has finally arrived in Utah, I made this cake over the long weekend. I wanted something that reminded me of Fall without being too much on the Halloween side of Fall. It is a fudge chocolate cake, vanilla filled, and frosted in chocolate.
This was my first time working with the mini-pumpkins, and for the trials I did, I think they came out pretty well, and bring across the Fall theme very well.

Ireland's Best of the Best: 10 hot tips for your Little Black Book
Short Breaks in Ireland
'Ireland: The Best of the Best' is Georgina Campbell's latest gift to the glovebox, a guidebook crammed with mouthwatering places to eat, drink and stay.
Georgina's name is, of course, synonymous with independence, quality and an keen eye for uniquely Irish food and travel experiences.
'The Best of the Best' (GC Guides/Epicure Press) brings a personal selection hand-picked from her travel guides - "the perfect digital detox" as she terms it.
Here's a taster of the treats in store. Where will you go next?
Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites
This wonderful place on the most tranquil and least visited of the Aran Islands has earned an international reputation as one of Ireland's most desirable destinations. Chef Ruairí de Blacam, a native of Inis Meáin, and his wife, Marie-Therese, offer a unique experience, serving beautifully simple seasonal food in a modern restaurant with a panoramic view of the island (pictured above and top). Suites are designed to help guests discover the peace and quiet of the island, with fishing rods, bicycles and books instead of TV or a spa. A place apart.
Details: Inis Meáin, Aran Islands; 086 826 6026; inismeain.com.

Vintage Tea Tours, Dublin
If an Afternoon Tea bus tour of Dublin appeals, this should be just the ticket - traditional three-tier afternoon tea fare served on a genuine 1961 Routemaster bus named Pauline. It's a fun atmosphere with everyone taking photos - of the food, themselves, the interior of the bus - but when they finally turn their attention to the outside, they find that Pauline, not surprisingly, is the centre of attention in the city streets. Children wave and passengers wave back, parents smile as everyone sits and nibbles while Pauline goes through the Phoenix Park, taking in Áras an Uachtaráin and the American Ambassador's residence; she drives slowly through Georgian Dublin, O'Connell Street, and past the Jeanie Johnston sitting proudly in the Liffey… Magic.
Details: Tours from €40pp. Meeting Point @ Epic The Irish Emigration Museum, CHQ. Call 01 526 6961 (Mon-Fri) or visit vintageteatours.ie.
Cakeface, Kilkenny
Although it's on a quiet street and a little out of the way, what a great destination Laura and Rory Gannon's patisserie and café has turned out to be. The wittily named cakes and pastries (aka "Quirky and Unusual Desserts"), are simply stellar. Anything but classical, each has its own name and personality, including favourites such as The Passionate Tart, The Zesty Nutcracker and FIGure it Out. And, while simple, the savoury food - including deeply flavoured soups, and sandwiches made with gorgeous breads from carefully selected craft bakeries, is delicious. Superb coffee too - the best in Kilkenny they claim, and they could be right. Small but mighty, Cakeface is a little treasure.
Details: 16 Irishtown Gardens; 086 601 7045; cakefacepastry.com.

Marlfield House & The Duck, Co. Wexford
Often quoted as 'the luxury country house hotel par excellence', this impressive house was once the residence of the Earls of Courtown, and is now an elegant oasis of unashamed luxury offering outstanding hospitality and service, where guests are pampered in sumptuous surroundings. Opened as an hotel in 1978 by Mary and Ray Bowe, their daughters Margaret and Laura are now continuing - and developing - the family tradition of hospitality. As well as the main house, they now also operate a lovely informal café-restaurant, The Duck, alongside the kitchen garden - and also Duck Lodge, a contemporary self-catering cottage.
Details: Courtown Road, Gorey; 053 942-1124; marlfieldhouse.com.

The White Cottages, Co. Dublin
A stylish bed and breakfast on the Skerries shore, with unbroken sea views of the harbour and the Cooley and Mourne Mountains, this boutique hideaway is owned by Jackie and Joe O'Connor who offer guests the warmest hospitality. The four bedrooms are all charming and individual and the crisp décor is like a breath of fresh sea air. This unusual B&B serves up delicious breakfasts and even lobster lunches and afternoon tea by arrangement. Nearby Dublin seems a world away.
Details: Balbriggan Road, Skerries. 01 849 2231; thewhitecottages.com.
Bervie, Achill Island
The ultimate escape for its many happy guests since 1932, John and Elizabeth Barrett's magical beachside house was once a coastguard station. A little wicket gate gives direct access to the beach, and there's an other-worldliness which is very rare these days. Elizabeth was born here and, aside from the location and the charm of the house, the sense of continuity is very special - and she has the 'hotelier's gene', which makes hospitality come naturally. Comfortable, compact rooms, a cosy fire, great food (at both dinner and breakfast) and delightful staff all add to the charm.
Details: Bervie Keel Achill Island Co Mayo ; 098 43114; bervieachill.com.
Virginia Park Lodge, Co. Cavan
Beautifully located overlooking Lough Ramor, this 18th century sporting lodge charmingly combines informality and grandeur. In 2013 a famous local man, chef Richard Corrigan, bought the property and lost no time in renovating the house and establishing productive gardens, which now also supply his London restaurants in season. A desirable private venue for weddings, corporate events and sporting weekends, it also opens as a pop up (book online) and makes an elegant and atmospheric setting for Richard Corrigan's famously direct seasonal, ingredients-led cooking.
Details: Virginia, Co Cavan; 049 854 6100; virginiaparklodge.com.

The Muddlers Club, Belfast
Opened in 2015 by top chef Gareth McCaughey and tucked into an alleyway, The Muddlers Club is named after a secret society that met around here two centuries ago, yet it is the true essence of a contemporary restaurant. It feels exciting on every level - from the bespoke wooden floors and tables to the scorched herbs, smoky aromas and intense seasoning of Gareth McCaughey's food. Based on hand-selected seasonal ingredients, the bold dishes are plated with a maturity of spirit and the flavours pack a punch - and the excellent cooking is backed up by perceptive, knowledgeable and friendly service.

Nightmarket, Dublin
Restaurateur Conor Sexton and his partner Juturat Suwankeeree (aka R) have brought deeply-flavoured and intense regional Thai cooking to Ranelagh in their exciting restaurant, Nightmarket. Combining the best of Irish produce with traditional recipes learned from her grandmother, R's dishes sing with authentic Thai flavours – fiery chillis, fish sauce, lemongrass and fresh herbs – each fragrant with memories of her homeland. Lively and relaxed, Nightmarket is a firm favourite with local diners, and with a warm welcome, good wines and cocktails, and delicious dishes that transport the diner to Thailand with one mouthful, it's easy to see why.
Details: 120 Ranelagh Dublin 6 ; 01 538 5200; nightmarket.ie.

Bishops Gate Hotel, Derry
Formerly a Gentlemen's Club, this atmospheric boutique hotel is an interesting place to stay within the historic city walls. It brings luxury, style and service to the Cathedral Quarter and offers a choice of dining options on site. Although a popular meeting place and at the heart of everything - just a short walk to the impressively restored Guildhall, and then over the Peace Bridge to the stunning Ebrington Square Parade Ground - it's also a luxurious retreat from the everyday and the charming staff are full of warmth, enjoying nothing better than sharing the hotel's history with guests. A very special destination - and a great asset to Derry City.
Details: 24 Bishop Street; 028 7114 0300; bishopsgatehotelderry.com.

The Snowmelt-Runoff Model (SRM), a simple degree-day model, has been applied to over 50 basins in 15 countries around the world. Where results have been reported, the average R2 has been 0.84 and the average seasonal volume difference, Dv, has been 3.8 %. The testing of SRM has taken place on basins in different climatic regions, thus setting the stage for using SRM in evaluations of the hydrological effects of climate change. A method for using SRM in evaluations of climate change has been established and tested on several basins. Initial results show some potentially serious problems involving water supply, flooding, and drought. More testing in a variety of climatic regions is necessary along with improved specification of the changes in temperature and precipitation by region.

When most of us think of pink eye, we think of the infectious bacterial or viral versions of conjunctivitis. Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis spread through a group of people quickly- it's very "popular" at school (once one child has it, several more are sure to follow in short order).
Conjunctivitis can be caused by pathogens (bacteria or viruses), the environment (air quality, dust, smoke), or allergies. Each cause requires a different type of treatment- antibiotics won't work for viral conjunctivitis, for example.
The first step in properly treating the symptoms is to diagnose the cause. Our optometrists have diagnosed and treated thousands of cases of pink eye and will quickly determine the type/cause of your pink eye.
With offices in High River, Nanton, Okotoks, and Vulcan, there's an Eyes 360 nearby that can help you! A visit to our clinic is often much faster than a walk-in. Please call the location nearest you and specify that you are coming in for a pink eye diagnosis. Visit our locations.
Known colloquially as "pink eye", conjunctivitis's nickname stems from its main symptom: a visible reddening of the conjunctiva (the white part of your eye).
Types of Conjunctivitis – There are three types of conjunctivitis:
Symptoms – Conjunctivitis has many symptoms similar to other eye diseases, making self-diagnosis difficult in some cases. Look for:
Diagnosis – The optometrist will perform a series of tests to determine the nature of your conjunctivitis. We may send samples to a lab for processing if we are unsure.
Treatment – Once we have a proper diagnosis we are able to move forward with treatment. Mild cases of conjunctivitis can be treated with topical medications to alleviate symptoms. Allergic conjunctivitis can be treated with antihistamines.
Many symptoms can be effectively treated with warm compresses. We recommend warm compresses with a clean, lint-free cloth for 10-20 minutes at a time. Do not drape the cloth over both eyes if only one eye is infected, otherwise you may inadvertently infect the healthy eye. Be sure to wash the cloths immediately after use to avoid spreading the pathogen.
