It is very quiet at the coffice this morning. There are only four people sitting around, plus a couple of staff. I am a little early and it is a Monday morning, so that might explain the quiet.
The top topic is a deal from the Daily Mail. It is causing a headache for the staff as it doesn't seem to have been quite thought through… no surprise from the Daily Mail there then.
The few people sitting around are all on their own. We are all lonely souls sitting apart together. There are no conversations apart from those ordering their caffeine fix.
The problem with silence is that it brings along its companion space. Together they make a large room where thoughts and feelings have the ability to run around and play. Too much silence and space and I begin to lose focus and wander into the dark corners of the room. Here lurk the what might have been things and the why did I do that conversation.
They lure me in and, without realising it, I am there, engaging with them and their paralysing lifestyles. I only came in for a coffee and, ironically, a little quiet to do some writing work. It's not good, I might never find my way out of this room's dark corners.
But, a moment of enlightenment, or existential bliss. For an instant, I am taken aback by what I do have. How blessed I am. The people I know. The friends I have. The what has been and the I did that. I am drawn back into the light. The room's corners are still there but I am not lost in them.
Now, it's time to head to the Post Office, a place of existential bliss if ever there was one.

The entire project will be called Worlds of Discovery, and will consist of Sea World, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove, and Aquatica. They are being constructed on one of the man made Palm islands. When the entire project is complete, it will resemble a giant killer whale. (See pics below!)
There were not a lot of details about the parks and what attractions would be in each one, but it looks all very exciting.
The official press release can be found here:
Busch Entertainment Corporation and Nakheel sign Memorandum of Understanding to develop four theme parks in the United Arab Emirates
Orlando, Fla. (Feb. 28, 2008) – Busch Entertainment Corporation (BEC), the family entertainment division of Anheuser-Busch Cos., today announced an agreement with Nakheel PJSC, one of the world's largest property developers, to create the Worlds of Discovery – SeaWorld, Aquatica, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove – on The Palm Jebel Ali in Dubai.
Worlds of Discovery will occupy a section of The Palm Jebel Ali known as "the Crown," which will resemble a giant killer whale when reclamation work is complete. Nakheel's plans for The Palm Jebel Ali, currently the world's largest man-made island, also call for the development of commercial, residential and shopping districts, as well as resort hotels and restaurants.
The Worlds of Discovery project will be phased and includes SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove and, the company's newest theme park brand, Aquatica. Worlds of Discovery on The Palm Jebel Ali will also include a variety of other family activities, including resort hotels, spas, shops and restaurants.
In addition to SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, plans call for the construction of a Discovery Cove similar to the park adjacent to SeaWorld Orlando in Central Florida. Discovery Cove in Orlando is an all-inclusive, reservations only park that features a variety of animal interactions and resort experiences, most notably swimming with bottlenose dolphins, rays and exotic fish. The first Aquatica, SeaWorld's waterpark, opened this week in Orlando.
Preliminary design work and site planning is underway, with the first phase expected to open in 2012.
On to the pictures from today's event!

"I can't believe you got me to re-schedule a meeting so you can ogle a hot guy?" my boss, FairyWings, laughed.
Me neither [but I do appreciate her allegiance to the cause.]
"But then I thought to myself," she continued, "how often is that really going to happen?" [Word. I believe the correct answer is never, ever, ever, EVER.]
The visiting professor might as well be a visiting unicorn. Um…Professor Unicorn.
I mean who the heck cares what he's gonna pontificate about – something about sociology, OPC – other people's children, education, blah blah blah whatever. [Yawn. Just wear a thong and bend over, dude. Nothing goes better with my Tuesday morning coffee than a nice tight ass. I'm just sayin'.]
It amazes me how many people at work are so mystified by my propensity to use "words" to ask for stuff. I am just so old-fashioned like that.
Words + Sentences = Communication.
Yes, the Professor Unicorn request was ridiculous and took ginormous balls to initiate [but that's what balls are for. Right?]
However, I am talking about regular everyday requests that a person should feel perfectly justified requesting.
I remember this one sweet girl at work [who is no longer working here.] She requested a meeting with me. Me?! [Now, y'all know that ain't right?]
Everybody knows the only three things I really give a shit about at work is: a) my job [and being the best at it so I can justify being um… slightly bitchy], b) my money 'cause that is what work is for, and c) chatting with my very selective group [of 3] friends [because who else will proudly talk about The Voice/X Factor/Sister Wives with me?]
So I am not the right person to ask for advice. No really.
People think because I am blunt I should be good at giving advice [when I am well-aware that my cray cray advice may only be good enough for my cray cray ass…]
Good advice givers are people who can:
a) detach from the situation [and I can only do this sometimes],
b) be objective [and I have a soft spot for my friends, people in pain, children, pets and old people – or anyone I perceive as needing protection or deserving respect, ie, if you uck-fay with anyone in these groups I will devour you. See? That is not objective], and
c) be open and receptive to see all sides of the equation – not just the one I prefer [now, let me re-direct you back to letters "a" and "b."]
But she was so sweet. And sincere. That girl.
"How do I ask for the new open position without making my friends mad?" she said quietly, even though we were in a conference room with a closed door. [Sigh. I am immediately on "her" side, even though there are no sides.]
Here is the deal.
Friends do not want you to fail. If someone wants you to fail, they are not your friend.
The good thing about being an introvert is I have no issues with dumping someone who doesn't have my best interests at heart. I don't care who they are [sorry Mom, but that included your should-be-wearing-a-straightjacket-ass. And I am also not really sorry.]
For this introvert, "one less person" is like getting a new car for free and the taxes are already paid [simply because it is one less person.]
"The only thing that matters is that you make the best choice for you. That is what they [your friends] will do," I said to the sweet girl.
[Sigh. That coven would put barbecue sauce on your ass and eat you for lunch raw – for an extra nickel in their paycheck. Now, snap out of it! ]
"Really?," she questioned. She seemed so disappointed in my answer.
But she was not the first.
My friend, Brother Man, who calls himself my "brother from another mother," asked me a similar question.
And he should know better than to ask me for advice.
"When do you ask for a raise?" He said timidly, and he is anything timid. It was so odd to see his vulnerable side. [Clearly, someone put one of those body-snatcher pods under his desk.]
Like all things concerning money, I have standard operating procedures. To me, money is a tool, and it is anything but personal, unless you try to take it without my consent – then it becomes "personal" [and I will drive over you like an 18-wheeler drives over a soda can.]
Much like a robot, I responded like I was programmed to give only one answer, "I ask for a raise every year, unless I've gotten a raise or promotion the year before."
[…because a) this works 50% of the time and b) I want you to know that I am not at work to look cute, take up space or settle – because you say so. I am serious about my life, and you – money-giving person – need to be serious too.]
"Really?" he said in disbelief.
And I just powered onward. "Yes, they owe me an explanation as to why I cannot have the money I want. Or they owe me an explanation as to how to become worthy [in their eyes] of the money I want."
[For the love of the goddess, RuPaul, and her fabulous ingenue, Latrice Royale – don't say that out loud. My point is be serious so other people take your intentions seriously. Embody the rest…]
He grimaced and was taken-aback by my directness.
"That is what I am afraid of." He was seriously blowing my mind with his vulnerability now. "I don't want to be told why I am not liked."
[Oh, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I am not sure why I feel like a douchebag. I was trying to empower him, and he seemed so defeated.]
Let me say it again – I SUCK AT GIVING ADVICE.
"Why?" I re-program myself to proceed gently – and act human for crissakes, "how will I ever know what they are thinking, if I don't ask?"
This conversation quickly ended as they usually do.
[Note to self: Don't answer questions. Questions are bad.]
Take it from someone who can't remember anything because there is just too much shit to remember. Passwords. Schedules. Appointments. All of the things I want to do. All of the things I forgot to do.
Must I go on?
No one is sitting around trying to read your mind to figure what you may or may not want so they can hand it to you on a silver platter.
They are mother[truck]ing busy. With their life. Their dreams. Their family, job, and appointments.
Because everyone has their own version of cat puke to clean up off of their own rug.
They are not necessarily being mean or insensitive or oblivious or selfish by not being able to read your mind.
Sometimes the answer is very simple.
They are busy.
And it is not really their job to advocate for me or you. It is nice when they do.
But it is not their job.
My best advocate will always be me. And that is how it should be.
If it is important enough for me to want, it should be important enough for me to ask. And I don't really care what it is.
A wedding ring [I don't want this, but I know so many people afraid to ask their partner while years of their life just evaporate…]
Or a raise or attention or a compliment or a hug or respect or for more than 5 seconds of foreplay.
It is all the same.
If I want to be on someone's agenda, I have to put myself there [because that is the only way to guarantee I'll get there – if only for a second.]
Besides, my telepathic skills have been rusty.
Here is yet another bedtime story from the Dark Side – I mean work.
Once upon a time…
Last summer an office at work became vacant.
Space at work is hard to come by so getting your own office would be like winning the Olympic gold medal. Not 2 seconds after the announcement of the vacancy, I zipped into my director's office and said I wanted that office.
Just like everyone else wanted it too.
I had my arguments and justifications ready.
Weeks and months rolled by like tumbleweeds in the desert. And the office was still vacant.
Lots of the town folk were whispering and guessing who's gonna get "the office."
Whispering in the hallways.
In the bathroom.
To anyone who would listen.
Anyone, of course, but the one person that could help them get what they wanted.
That is totally why I go the mechanic to examine my uterus and the gynecologist to do my oil changes. It makes complete sense to talk to all of the people who can't help me.
In February, I am going to the hairdresser to do my taxes.
Here is another good thing about being an introvert [I LOVE saying that now – so so so glad I wrote that blog. I feel free.] – I go to the source. It eliminates unnecessary conversations.
That way, I know the intended message reaches the intended target.
Anyway,the gossip mill was ablaze in the village. The weary villagers became upset as time went on – and the conversation changed from "Who? Who will get the office?" to "Who shouldn't get it?" or "Who didn't deserve it?"
Like ONTD [Oh, no they didn't.]
Logically, lots of people deserved the office. I don't know if they submitted a formal request and/or if they followed up on it every month.
But I did.
The angry villagers were pissed when they found out who got the office. She doesn't deserve it – they said. The villagers gave the gold medal winner nasty looks galore.
This Tuesday, after I ogle Professor Unicorn drinking my incredibly expensive Starbucks coffee [because, again, tight ass and coffee go together just like peanut butter and jelly] – I will pass the villagers by as I walk to my still-feels-like-new office.
I will smile, say "good morning" and fumble with my keys – like I always do. Then, I will spread out in all of that extra space [that I really don't need.]
Put my jacket over here.
And purse over there.
My plants that sit happily in front of my wall-to-wall window – and are growing like a brush fire – will get some much-needed TLC.
I will sit in the sun in front of the window.
Feeling so content, so happy.
And I won't forget to close my new office door.
The one that I got from talking out loud
So someone could hear me.

Thank you for reading this blog. I finally figured out how to set up a Facebook page. It took me forever because it hurts my brain and stuff 🙂
I still don't understand Facebook. But feel free to "Like Us on Facebook" in the top-right.
However, if you are one of those people who would rather cut off their hand than join a Facebook anything, um… I dig it.
Have a mah-velous day, gorgeous. Cheers.

It's August.
I have to admit, I feel quite a bit of relief. Not because August is particularly great or anything- to be honest, I don't really have any sort of feeling on August one way or another. However, it's not June or July (true summer months to me), and we're *thisclose* to fall. I mean, Gracie goes back to school in about two weeks and the sunsets are getting earlier and earlier. Things are definitely changing, little by little.
Fall is, hands down, my absolute favorite time of the year. It's GORGEOUS here- the weather cools, the blue skies turn a brilliant blue, the sun is less intense, the rain tapers off… It's such a huge relief after the summer, which seems like it might never end.
Fall is also *real* gardening season around here. Spring is fine, and all, but there's something about autumn that makes plants very happy. I think they do better in fall than spring, except there's a little less blooming and lot more growing. Some plants just know to bloom in spring, so they can't be fooled by great weather and sunshine, even though they *do* respond positively to the great weather by growing like crazy.
Last summer my garden sort of wilted away, so I kept buying more and more plants to fill up the empty spaces. The ones that survived stayed puny, so I figured it's was something I was doing. Then, in the span of a single week in fall, the garden just EXPLODED back to life and I had my hands full. I'll never forget going out there one morning and just being knocked over by how lush and GREEN everything was. And then being overwhelmed by the work in taming it all.
Lesson learned- I didn't add much this summer- just some seasonal plants like zinnia and sunflowers which will only last a bloom or two, and then cycle out. I know that the long lasters in my garden will probably pick up speed and take up space once the calendar flips to September and October.
But I am thinking a lot about what I want to plant come September, when the light changes and any seedlings that start won't turn into instant crispy kindling. I'll probably make a fairly detailed plan soon, and start ordering seeds. I also need to decide on what plants to focus on- I find that every season, I get a little obsessed with a certain plant and order tons of varieties and just go for it.
Last year it was Nasturtium, this past summer it was Sunflower and different vines. I'm not sure if I want to go crazy with Nasturtium again this fall/winter or try something new. Whatever it is, it has to be lush and colorful. Nasturtium is kinda hard to beat in that department…
We'll see. But I'm starting to feel like there is a light at the end of this hot, humid, stormy, hazy tunnel that is summer gardening in Southwest Florida.
How is *your* garden doing?

Bhutanese refugees are Lhotshampas ("southerners"), a group of Nepali language-speaking Bhutanese people. These refugees registered in refugee camps in eastern Nepal during the 1990s as Bhutanese citizens deported from Bhutan during the protest against Bhutanese state and monarch by some of the Lhotshampas demanding democracy and different state. As Nepal and Bhutan have yet to implement any agreement on repatriation, many Bhutanese refugees have since resettled to North America, Oceania and Europe under the auspices of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Many Lhotshampa also migrated to areas of West Bengal and Assam in India independently of the UNHCR.

✪ Stories of Hope from Bhutanese Refugees: Chesang (Profile 4)
✪ Stories of Hope from Bhutanese Refugees: Manoj (Profile 7)
My name is Chesang Dolma Tamang. I come from Nichula in Bhutan. I lived in Beldangi refugee camp, and came to America from there. It's been 2 years now from the day we arrived here. I came here with two kids, my older kids were left behind at the camp. We, both husband and wife, were not doing fine when we came here. We couldn't go to work, and we were faced with numerous problems. I am suffering with chronic pain in my arms and legs. I am still not working. My husband has started receiving disability benefits. We had many hurdles to get over. When we went to our medical appointment we had a hard time since we didn't speak the language. Now it's been 2 years after arrival and things have turned out comfortable. Everybody has shown interest to help us. We ask for help from the others when need one. With their moral support and assistances we are doing a lot better now. I know that there are people who are now suffering like we did. What I would like to tell them is that when they are in need of help they should just go to persons and places from where they can get that. If they do so, it won't be impossible for them to survive any pain situations. Their problems will not kill them.

Historical background
The earliest surviving records of Bhutan's history show that Tibetan influence already existed from the 6th century. King Songtsen Gampo, who ruled Tibet from the years 627 to 649, was responsible for the construction of Bhutan's oldest surviving Buddhist temples, the Kyichu Lhakhang in Paro and the Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang.[1] Settlement in Bhutan by people of Tibetan origin happened by this time.[1][2]
The first reports of people of Nepalese origin in Bhutan was around 1620, when Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal commissioned a few Newar craftsmen from the Kathmandu valley in Nepal to make a silver stupa to contain the ashes of his father Tempa Nima.[3] Since then, people of Nepalese origin started to settle in uninhabited areas of southern Bhutan.[4] The south soon became the country's main supplier of food. Bhutanese of Nepalese origin, Lhotshampas, were flourishing along with the economy of Bhutan. By 1930, according to British colonial officials, much of the south was under cultivation by a population of Nepali origin that amounted to some 60,000 people.[4]
Settlement in Bhutan of a large number of people from Nepal happened in the early 20th century.[5]:162–165 This settlement was encouraged by the Bhutan House in Kalimpong for the purpose of collecting taxes for the government. In the 1930s, the Bhutan House settled 5,000 families of Nepali workers in Tsirang alone. In the 1940s, the British Political Officer Sir Basil Gould was quoted as saying that when he warned Sir Raja Sonam Topgay Dorji of Bhutan House of the potential danger of allowing so many ethnic Nepalese to settle in southern Bhutan, he replied that "since they were not registered subjects they could be evicted whenever the need arose."[6] Furthermore, Lhotshampa were forbidden from settling north of the subtropical foothills.[5]:30[7]:160–162
Expatriate Nepalese, who resettled in West Bengal and Assam after leaving Bhutan, formed the Bhutan State Congress in 1952 to represent the interests of other expatriates in India as well as the communities they had left behind. An effort to expand their operations into Bhutan with a satyagraha (non-violent resistance) movement in 1954 failed in the face of the mobilization of Bhutan's militia and a lack of enthusiasm among those Nepalese in Bhutan, who did not want to risk their already tenuous status. The Bhutanese government further diffused the Bhutan State Congress movement by granting concessions to the minority and allowing Nepalese representation in the National Assembly. The Bhutan State Congress continued to operate in exile until its decline and gradual disappearance in the early 1960s. The leaders in exile were pardoned in 1969 and permitted to return.[8]
Bhutan's Citizenship Act of 1958
Toward the end of the reign of the second King Jigme Wangchuck in the 1950s, the numbers of new immigrants had swelled causing tension between the King and the Dorji family in the Bhutan House.[5] Amnesty was given through the Citizenship Act of 1958 for all those who could prove their presence in Bhutan for at least 10 years prior to 1958.[9] On the other hand, the government also banned further immigration in 1958.[5]
From 1961 onward however, with Indian support, the government began planned developmental activities consisting of significant infrastructure development works. Uncomfortable with India's desire to bring in workers in large numbers from India, the government initially tried to prove its own capacity by insisting that the planned Thimphu-Phuntsholing highway be done with its own workforce. The government also attempted to rein in immigration.[10] While the project was a success, completing the 182-kilometer highway in just two years, the import of workers from India was inevitable. With most Bhutanese self-employed as farmers, Bhutan lacked a ready supply of workers willing to take up the major infrastructure projects. This led eventually to the large-scale immigration of skilled and unskilled construction workers from India.[5]:162–165, 220[10][11] These people were mostly of Nepali origin and settled in the south, as required, among legal and illegal residents alike.[7]:160–162 With the pressures of the developmental activities, this trend remained unchecked or inadequately checked for many years. Immigration check posts and immigration offices were in fact established for the first time only after 1990.[11]
Bhutan's Citizenship Act of 1985
By the 1980s, the government had become acutely conscious not just of widespread illegal immigration of people of Nepali origin into Bhutan, but also of the total lack of integration even of long-term immigrants into the political and cultural mainstream of the country. Most Lhotshampa remained culturally Nepalese. For its part, the government had largely ignored illegal settlement,[12] but had encouraged intermarriage with cash payments as a means of assimilation. However, this was met with negligible success as far as actual assimilation. There was also a perception of a Greater Nepal movement emerging from the Nepali-dominated areas in Nepal, Darjeeling, Kalimpong and West Bengal which the Bhutanese feared as Nepali chauvinism.[5]:183–186, 239[7]:161[13]:63
Perceiving this growing dichotomy as a threat to national unity, the government promulgated directives in the 1980s that sought to preserve Bhutan's cultural identity as well as to formally embrace the citizens of other ethnic groups in a "One Nation, One People" policy. The government implied that the "culture" to be preserved would be that of the various northern Bhutanese groups. To reinforce this movement, the government forced the use of the Driglam Namzha, the Bhutanese national dress and etiquette code. This policy required citizens to wear the attire of the northern Bhutanese in public places under penalty of fines, and reinforced the status of Dzongkha as the national language. Nepali was discontinued as a subject in the schools, thus bringing it at par with the status of the other languages of Bhutan, none of which are taught.[13]:68[14][15] Such policies were criticized at first by human rights groups as well as Bhutan's Nepalese economic migrant community, who perceived the policy to be directed against them. The government, for its part, perceived that free Nepali-language education had encouraged illegal immigration into southern Bhutan.[15]
The Citizenship Act of 1985 clarified and attempted to enforce the Citizenship Act of 1958 in order to control the flood of illegal immigration. In 1980, the government conducted its first real census exercise. The basis for census citizenship classifications was the 1958 "cut off" year, the year that the Nepali population had first received Bhutanese citizenship. Those individuals who could not provide proof of residency prior to 1958 were adjudged to be illegal immigrants.
Bhutan's first census (1988)
The issue was brought to the fore when the government of Bhutan discovered in its first census the magnitude of the Lhotsampa population.[14] Lhotsampa of Nepali descent who had been living in southern Bhutan since the late nineteenth[1][16][17] and early twentieth centuries were induced to leave Bhutan after the country carried out its first census in 1988. The government, however, failed to properly train the census officials and this led to some tension among the public. Placement in the census categories which ranged from "Genuine Bhutanese" to "Non-nationals: Migrants and Illegal Settlers" was often arbitrary, and could be arbitrarily changed.[18] In some cases members of the same family have been, and still are, placed in different categories; some admittedly genuine Bhutanese have been forced to flee with family members the government found to be illegal immigrants.[18][19]:37–39 Other Lhotshampa who considered their own citizenship secure were prevented by government officials from obtaining proper documentation, losing their property.[19]:37–39
The government also attempted to enforce the Bhutanese driglam namzha dress and language code at the same time, in order to have the Lhotshampa population assimilate into Ngalop society.[19]:38–39 The government explained its cultural identity programs as a defense against the first political problems since the Wangchuck Dynasty was established in 1907 and the greatest threat to the nation's survival since the seventeenth century. In an effort to resolve the interethnic strife, the Druk Gyalpo made frequent visits to the troubled southern districts, and he ordered the release of hundreds of arrested "antinationals." He also expressed the fear that the large influx of Nepalese might lead to their demand for a separate state in the next ten to twenty years, in much the same way as happened in the once-independent monarchy of Sikkim in the 1970s.[8]
However, these measures combined to alienate even bona fide citizens of Nepali descent. Some ethnic Nepalese began protesting perceived discrimination, demanding exemption from the government decrees aimed at enhancing Bhutanese national identity. The reaction to the royal decrees in Nepalese majority communities surfaced as ethnic strife directed against non-Lhotshampa. Reactions also took form as protest movements in Nepal and India among Nepalese who had left Bhutan. The Druk Gyalpo was accused of "cultural suppression," and his government was charged by antigovernment leaders with human rights violations, including the torture of prisoners; arbitrary arrest and detention; denial of due process; and restrictions of freedoms of speech and press, peaceful organization and assembly, and workers' rights. Antigovernment protest marches involved more than 20,000 participants, including some from a movement that had succeeded in coercing India into accepting local autonomy for ethnic Nepalese in West Bengal, who crossed the border from West Bengal and Assam into six districts across Bhutan.[8] As the census exercise came to an end, the southern border of Bhutan became a hotbed of militancy for several years.
Supporting the anti-government activities were expatriate Nepalese political groups and supporters in Nepal and India. Between 2,000 and 12,000 Nepalese were reported to have fled Bhutan in the late 1980s, and according to a 1991 report, even high-level Bhutanese government officials of Nepalese origin had resigned their positions and moved to Nepal. Some 5 million Nepalese were living in settlements in India along the Bhutan border in 1990. Nepalese were not necessarily welcome in India, where ethnic strife conspired to push them back through the largely unguarded Bhutanese frontier. The Bhutan Peoples' Party operated among the large Nepalese community in northern India. A second group, the Bhutan People's Forum for Human Rights (a counterpart of the Nepal People's Forum for Human Rights), was established in 1998 in Nepal by Tek Nath Rizal, a Lhotshampa and former trusted official of the Royal Advisory Council who acted as a chief liaison between the government and the Lhotshampa in the south, as well as a former member of the National Assembly of Bhutan. The Bhutan Students Union and the Bhutan Aid Group-Nepal also were involved in political activism.[8]
In November 1989, Tek Nath Rizal was allegedly abducted in eastern Nepal by Bhutanese police and returned to Thimphu, where he was imprisoned on charges of conspiracy and treason. He was also accused of instigating the racial riots in southern Bhutan. Rizal was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1993.[8][20]
Interethnic conflict (1990s)
Interethnic conflict generally escalated during the 1990s. In February 1990, antigovernment activists detonated a remote-control bomb on a bridge near Phuntsholing and set fire to a seven-vehicle convoy.[8]
In September 1990, clashes occurred with the Royal Bhutan Army, which was ordered not to fire on protesters. The men and women marchers were organized by S.K. Neupane and other members of the illegal Bhutan Peoples' Party, which reportedly urged the marchers to demand democracy and human rights for all Bhutanese citizens. Some villagers willingly joined the protests; others did so under duress. The government branded the party, reportedly established by anti-monarchists and backed by the Nepali Congress Party and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), as a terrorist organization. The party allegedly led its members – said to be armed with rifles, muzzle-loading guns, knives, and homemade grenades – in raids on villages in southern Bhutan, disrobing people wearing traditional Bhutanese garb; extorting money; and robbing, kidnapping, and killing people. Reportedly, there were hundreds of casualties, although the government admitted to only two deaths among security forces. Other sources indicated that more than 300 persons were killed, 500 wounded, and 2,000 arrested in clashes with security forces. Along with the above-mentioned violence, vehicle hijackings, kidnappings, extortions, ambushes, and bombings took place, schools were closed (some were destroyed), and post offices, police, health, forest, customs, and agricultural posts were destroyed. For their part, security forces were charged by the Bhutan Peoples' Party, in protests made to Amnesty International and the International Human Rights Commission, with murder and rape and carrying out a "reign of terror". In support of the expatriate Nepalese, the general secretary of the Nepali Congress Party, the ruling party in Nepal, called on the Druk Gyalpo to establish a multiparty democracy. Some of the organizers of the marches were arrested and detained.[8][14] The Bhutanese government admitted only to the arrest of 42 people involved in "anti-national" activities in late 1989, plus 3 additional individuals who had been extradited from Nepal. All but 6 were reportedly later released; those remaining in jail were charged with treason. By September 1990, more than 300 additional prisoners held in the south were released following the Druk Gyalpo's tour of southern districts.[8]
In the face of government resistance to demands that would institutionalize separate identities within the nation, protesters in the south insisted that the Bhutan Peoples' Party flag be flown in front of administrative headquarters and that party members be allowed to carry the kukri, a traditional Nepalese curved knife, at all times. They also called for the right not to wear the Bhutanese national dress, and insisted that schools and government offices stay closed until their demands were met. The unmet demands were accompanied by additional violence and deaths in October 1990. At the same time, India pledged "all possible assistance that the royal government might seek in dealing with this problem" and assured that it would protect the frontier against groups seeking illegal entry to Bhutan.[8]
By early 1991, the press in Nepal was referring to insurgents in southern Bhutan as "freedom fighters". The Bhutan Peoples' Party claimed that more than 4,000 advocates of democracy had been arrested by the Royal Bhutan Army. Charges were made that some of those arrested had been murdered outside Bhutanese police stations and that some 4,200 persons had been deported.[8]
To deter and regulate Nepalese migration into Bhutan from India, the Druk Gyalpo ordered more regular censuses, improved border checks, and better government administration in the southern districts. The more immediate action of forming citizens' militias took place in October 1990 as a backlash to the demonstrations. Internal travel regulations were made more strict with the issue of new multipurpose identification cards by the Ministry of Home Affairs in January 1990. By the end of 1990, the government admitted the serious effects of the anti-government violence. It was announced that foreign- exchange earnings had dropped and that the GDP had decreased significantly because of terrorist activities.[8]
In 1992 interethnic conflict again flared, prompting a peak in Lhotshampa departures, totaling over 100,000 by 1996.[21] Many Lhotshampa claim to have been forcibly evicted by the military, who forced them to sign "Voluntary Migration Form" documents stating they had left willingly.[19]:39[22][23]
In 1998, Tek Nath Rizal was granted a royal pardon and left for Nepal to form the "People's Forum for Human Rights".[20][24][25]
Refugee camps in Nepal
During the 1990s several thousand Lhotshampa settled in the refugee camps that were set up by the UNHCR in Nepal. The UNHCR recognized most of the arrivals between 1990 and 1993 on a prima facie basis.[26] By 1996, the camp populations had exploded to 100,000[21] and peaked at more than 107,000 persons.[27]
The government of Nepal and the UNHCR have managed the below seven refugee camps since the arrival of the Bhutanese refugees in the 1990s.
|Beldangi 1 & 2
Living conditions
Camp conditions were initially rife with malnutrition and disease including measles, scurvy, tuberculosis, malaria, cholera, and beriberi, although camp conditions improved markedly between 1995 and 2005. Education was among the best services provided within the camps, generally better than in the surrounding countryside of Nepal. Camps, however, remained significantly overpopulated through 2006. Malnourishment, due to age-based food rationing, violence against women and children, as well as marginalization and radicalization remained serious issues.[19]:31–32 Bhutanese refugees in Nepal live under conditions of restricted or controlled movement, restricted ability to work, and limited access to the local justice system.[19]:31–32 The Danish humanitarian organization, Global Medical Aid has aided Bhutanese refugees in Nepal.[39]
Since 2009 the population of the camps shrunk as can be seen in the table above. Due to this reduction the Goldhap and Timai camps have been merged with the Beldangi II camp.[40][41] The offices are preparing to close or merge other camps and predicted to complete the refugee resettlement operation within 10 years. By 2016, only the Beldangi and Sanischare camps remained, with a combined total of 11,762 residents. However, there are around 10,000 refugees left in the camps, who are either not eligible or do not want to be resettled. Remaining are mainly elderly people who have lost their support network – through resettlement – and are affected by increasing rates of depression, substance misuse and suicide.[42]
Voluntary return
In 2000, after years of discussion, Bhutan and Nepal reached an agreement about the voluntary return of certain Bhutanese refugees living in Nepalese camps. However, points of contention included that some camp inhabitants have never been citizens, or some not even residents, of Bhutan before attaining refugee status. Furthermore, the Bhutanese government regarded many political groups among the Nepalese Lhotshampa community, such as the Bhutan Peoples' Party (BPP) and Bhutan National Democratic Party (BNDP), as terrorist or anti-national groups.[43][44] Further complicating repatriation, the land and other property formerly held by Lhotshampa refugees have been repopulated and taken over by Ngalop settlers – including government and military members – under government encouragement.[13]:70–73[19]:39–40
In March 2001, the first verification of Bhutanese refugees eligible for repatriation commenced in Nepalese refugee camps. Actual repatriation was then estimated to occur within one year. However, progress stalled for over a decade.[44] In 2003, a Bhutanese verification team was attacked and injured in Jhapa, resulting in further delay.[45] As of 2011, over 200 refugees in the Khudunabari refugee camp alone had been certified. However, no Bhutanese refugees had been repatriated. In April 2011, Bhutan and Nepal again opened talks on repatriation, however the UNHCR remains committed to third country resettlement in light of Bhutan's refusal to guarantee full citizenship and other human rights for returnees.[21][41] As of July 2011, the governments of Bhutan and Nepal had held at least 15 rounds of bilateral talks with no practical solution reached; although Bhutanese state media echoed Bhutan's insistence on continued talks with Nepal, it has signaled its preference for third country resettlement.[45] Nepal, for its part, has not accepted the refugees into its own population.[7]:148[19]:29–30, 40
The United States Department of State identified leaders within refugee camps intent on repatriation as hampering some resettlement efforts with disinformation and intimidation, despite generally poor prospects for repatriation.[46]
Third country resettlement
For many years the government of Nepal did not allow resettlement for Bhutanese refugees. This only changed in the second half of the 2000s after lengthy negotiations. Bhutanese refugees were an attractive group for receiving countries as they posed much less of a security risk as for example Iraqi, Somali or Afghan refugees.[47]
The UNHCR and different partners that formed the "Core Group on Bhutanese Refugees in Nepal" announced in 2007 to resettle the majority of the 108,000 registered Bhutanese refugees.[48] The U.S. offered to take 60,000 and began receiving them in 2008.[49] Australia, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark offered to resettle 10,000 each[49] and New Zealand offered to resettle 600 refugees over a period of five years starting in 2008. By January 2009, more than 8,000[50] and by November 2010, more than 40,000 Bhutanese refugees were resettled in various countries.[51] Canada offered to accept additional 6,500 Bhutanese refugees by the end of 2014. Norway has already resettled 200 Bhutanese refugees and Canada has agreed to accept up to 5000 through to 2012.[52]
In November 2015 it was announced that 100,000 refugees have been resettled abroad (85 percent of them to the USA)[53] and in February 2017 the number rose to a total of 108,513.[54] By 2019 January around 112,800 have been resettled abroad.[55]
According to Raj Khadka resettlement has provided the opportunity of starting a new life to these refugees, but the challenges that they are facing in the labour market are a big hurdle in establishing themselves in the new countries that are quite different from their own.[56]

There is a sadness that hides behind truth. It is not the sadness that what we now know isn't as great as we thought it would be. Sadness stems from the realization of improbability, acceptance of defeat, emptiness despite satisfaction, darkness that trickles, half-ridden smiles that listlessly disappear and dance mindlessly in the air like fresh smoke. The emptiness that remains behind once we've had our full. Once we've experienced greatness or the swelling sensation of pride. Or understanding the truth that our desires require great strengths of feat and control now; a true test of one's faith in oneself. The ability to keep breathing while watching foundations crumble, knowing that the telephone wire you walk upon, never mind its instability, slowly loses its tensile strength and begins to crumble with age. This sadness isn't shocking. It's appropriate. Not earth-shattering or -crumbling, it must not be stigmatized. It must be accepted as natural and part of the broad spectrum of emotions. Giving into discomfort and the overwhelming sense of fear does not signify weakness or disgrace; giving into these emotions and experiencing them while battling the things that make us tremble will give us the inner-light of passion.
There is a definite pull to create and carve out a niche; an identity that will transition over time, but one that others can hold culpable. Culpability seems to occupy our minds in great and, perhaps, unwarranted degrees. As we search to create genealogies of intentionality and culpability, we weave stories together that hold truth, incorrect data, even malice, pure joy, fear, excitement, and beauty. Branching together a thesis of a lifetime, a lifestyle, a mother, daughter, father, son, sister, brother &c., culminating in further droplets of a lifeline that etch beyond. In searching for the truth, rules and guidelines are developed. The blurred and foggy romantic sketch of sentimentalism and monstrous emotions has been wicked away by light and determination. Once again the ENLIGHTENMENT has made its mark on this mind. This troublesome period that wretches my being as though I have been made to be backwards. As though the world shifted in a flash of the mind. I feel as though this world doesn't hold a home to me. Rationalism and fairied religiosity battle as tropes upon the wrestling stage. Rationality is equipped with spectacles, notebooks, and encyclopedic tomes. Religiosity is dressed to the nines, Romish tendencies on a stage by which even the Pope could not failed to be awed.
Round 1: Enlightenment
Round 2: RELIGION
Round 3:……
This drastic desire to learn, which must hold precedent, confronts my inner demons. Rationality or Sentimentality. Of course, religion should not and can not be described as sentimentality because it holds greater meaning than that to a far greater number of people than my own individual perception. But, the battle that reigns supreme in my mind is between the rational and the sentimental. Yet, this battle doesn't seem to have a clear winner. I want to say "nor should it." But this epiphany outdates my years. This battle will continue; each side etching a winning round in their belt buckle, until one day I can appreciate the value of this struggle. Giving into the battle and letting it run wild is not the solution; I impose agency upon this battle of my own choices. Other people's actions will unduly interfere, welcome and unwelcome. Sometimes their interference is so welcome and so tantalizing that escaping into their land of pure bliss seems to be the answer. To die is to breathe. But this death is not life-ending, it is the feeling that all that has come before is greatness, and all that will come after will be just as hard, but just as beautiful. Metaphorical death slabbed onto a cold counter, Charon refusing passage when suddenly Orpheus sings sweet honeyed-notes. The warmth returns not when the light shines brightest, but as it ebbs away. When another human body blocks out the light; like a tide racing inwards and away again. As this body seeks to participate and connect through thought, then life begins once, twice, thrice more.
Communities are built on this concept. Participation. Interaction. Contact. Individualism subordinates itself to concern for others. The desire to prolong life and joy, and the experiences that challenge these principles, and those that affirm them so greatly that our hearts could explode in sheer delight. Our own distractions and sacrifices are muted as we enjoy the world through other people, which, upon reflection, informs our own ever changing experiences. Sometimes it feels like the support of others is only transitional; the pain of leaving the stanzas of joy make the tragic, rhyming couplet that much more obtrusive. But it is this Petrarchan polar-relationship that pangs icy hot and discomforts me as I go à rebours challenging the structures that give me foundation; instead, leaving me to walk upon the same bow that hugs the strings of a weeping caterwauling violin.

Some weddings are impossible to describe… IMPOSSIBLE… especially without total cliches and words of absolute admiration. I love it when I fall in love with a bride through her first email, and Liza was just like that… love at first email, and it only got better from there. After an amazing brunch date and very long emails the wedding day has finally come and it was much better than I could have ever expected (and I expected a lot). Not only was Liza drop dead gorgeous we had such a great time photographing her getting ready that at one point I almost wasn´t able to photograph anymore from laughing too hard. SO SPECIAL. And because I cannot do it any other way… the venue was amazing, their families a bliss, the ceremony tear wrenching and their photo shoot… we did´t only shoot around the venue but we even nipped away to the magical coastal town of Calella de Palafrugell as it was their dream to shoot at the Costa Brava, the place they met at 8 years ago… and from here on, I´ll let Liza tell you a bit more about themselves and their beautiful day:
How did you choose your wedding and reception venues?
Our guests are spread around the globe (the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia), so we couldnt just invite everyone for dinner or one day event! We needed a place where we could all spend some time together , therefore, villa was a great option. The location was easy – we are sooo much in love with Spain (have been to Spain at least one time every single year since we met), particularly Costa Brava, its small beaches, Spanish food. To narrow it down, we wanted to have a wedding somewhere close to Lloret de Mar where we met. Weeks after searching we came across Mas Torroella and just literally FELL IN LOVE! The masia was just perfect in every respect – secluded, surrounded by greenery, flowers, beautifully decorated, large enough to accommodate most of our guests (plus nearby hotel). In addition, it had many facilities for our small nieces and for all the adults to ensure a great time together. It was also close to beautiful beaches of Calella de Palafrugell. Silvia (the owner) was just so fantastic too, so we made our mind very quickly.
Where did you get your dress and how did you choose it?
I never liked big wedding dresses and I wanted something I could feel light enough to dance, have fun and not to feel restricted during the day. In addition, we planned a beach photoshoot, so flowing, simple dress was something I was looking for. Where I would one day get my wedding dress was decided long time ago when my best friend from childhood, Victoria Kapriz, started studying fashion design in Italy – she said she really wanted to make the dress for me (how lucky am I??). I did my research, sourced all the fabrics, flower motifs, decorative accessories in the UK, Victoria produced the dress for me in Warsaw. Personalised dress sewed by my best friend`s hands – what could be more special?
What inspired your colour palette?
We wanted to have an intimate ceremony and a cosy, family-feel dinner surrounded by our loved one. We both love whites, rustic styles and simplicity. I love field flowers. Greenery of the villa`s surroundings, plants and flowers on the grounds added to a perfect romantic, rustic style of the wedding. We didnt have any particular theme/colour palette in mind – everything fitted together naturally.
Nothing but simple and natural look. I wear minimal make-up on a daily basis, so I didnt want to look any different on the wedding day – Philipp is used to me this way, why to change it all of a sudden for a wedding day? I have very straight hair and there is not much I can do with them – they wouldnt even curl… So just a nice blow-dry with some volume was an ideal look. It turned out exactly how I wanted and it seemed Philipp was pleased too 🙂
How did you decorate your venue?
We hired a local florist who decorated the ceremony, reception and dinner area with flowers in clear glass vases, creating a very natural look. The main colour was white, including crispy white linen, napkins, sofas, candles, etc. We also used white tulle for ceremony altar and dinner area which was beautifully flowing and fitted perfectly to the surroundings.
What were some of the challenges of organising a destination wedding?
We faced many challenges on the way, but were very lucky to have worked with such professional, caring and accommodating vendors, starting with Gabby (En Route :)) to the owner of the villa to priest, catering company, florist, etc. All of them were trying to help as much as they could, answering our endless questions, contributing to our decisions, assisting with any additional queries and all together helping to create a perfect running order of the day. Lucky enough all of them spoke perfect English which definitely eased the process, however, bringing everything together was a huge challenge, especially distantly! Secondly, the logistics of having all of our guests arriving from 5 different countries on the same day was stressful as we needed to make sure everyone knew how to find the villa/hotel (the villa is situated in the middle of nowhere!), our wedding website was definitely of a great help here! Finally, keeping a constant track of all the costs was exhausting.

Spring Has Sprung!
Well, we knew it was going to happen. We went straight from winter to summer weather, and it may go back. Hopefully, we'll get some lovely spring weather as well. It's a nice time of year in Pittsburgh. Green leaves are once again filling out the branches of our regions many trees, and flowers are starting to bloom. And there are our sports teams to get excited about. People are cautiously optimistic about the Pirates and the Penguins are headed for the playoffs again. Everyday it seems like there's a cool new summer concert announcement, and many great theater productions are running. Restaurants with patios and sidewalk spaces are putting their tables and chairs out for the season. Nightclubs and bars are starting to get busier after their slow season. This is also the time of year for many charitable events and fundraising parties.

I was down plugging No Tomatoes- doing a little interview with BBC Radio 7 presenter Penny Haslam that will be chopped up in teensy usable slices and scattered thinly over the airwaves in the next few weeks. Six or eight minutes maximum I'd imagine.
Now, that seems a short time to justify a trip to London doesn't it?
It is, which was why I'd also arranged another appointment at Broadcasting House, talking to one of the arts producers I've previously done items for on Front Row, offering up a bit of archive material for a currently unannounced Radio 4 programme and chatting in the studio about the background to it.
Interestingly, I find it much easier to talk about other people and their work than I do about me and mine. Not what you'd expect eh, long suffering reader?
While I was in London I had a little free time and discovered two interesting things.
The first was that No Tomatoes episode 2 was at that point the most listened to entertainment programme on BBC Radio 7's iPlayer page (and something like fourth or fifth most listened to on the station overall) and as a consequence was on the very front page of the iPlayer representing 7 and claiming to be a radio highlight! It's certainly better than episode 1 by my reckoning.
It's also definitely getting much better publicity this time, with really well crafted on-air trailers, and nice little images on the Radio 7 homepage, and all this before Penny's interrogation of me is cast piecemeal into the ether.
The fact I've started getting email from strangers about it again suggests a heightened awareness too.
The second thing I learned was the full contents listing for the final Big Finish published Doctor Who Short Trips story collection, a lovely fiction range that's now coming to an end. It's a best of retrospective cunningly titled Re:Collections.
< Geeky Who bit >
I'm in it, as are several friends- virtual, actual and bothual. In particular I recommend you Matt Kimpton's Life After Queth- he should have got a slew of Doctor Who gigs on the basis of this debut, funny, moving, tricksy with time and beautifully written. The story features Doctor Who's very best giant telekinetic alien woodlouse and introduces a whole new race of space armadilloids.
Truth be told I'm there under slightly false pretenses because the very best entry in the volume my story came from is definitely Paul Magrs' Kept Safe and Sound. However, I believe the rules for the collection were one story per author and Paul had already been ear-marked for inclusion for a story from another volume, allowing me to sneak in in his place.
I'd also recommend Jonathan Morris' story The Thief of Sherwood even though it is NOT CANON and contains a very unlikely fictional edit occurring in an early 1960s BBC videotape show, and Steve Lyons' All Our Christmasses, a lovely satirical fable which was so prescient of 'Pirate Planet' episode 4 Spannergate and the evil that scandalous interference released into the world.
< /Geeky Who bit >
Great cover, isn't it?
I came back from London with horrible dandruff, which I'm going to blame the coach air-conditioning for, while being glad I didn't wear headphones during the radio interviews just in case I'm wrong.

I am ecstatic. This month I finally made some money (Hurray!!!!). All my efforts have not been in vain (well sorta). I have had some luck with monetizing my projects, but overall so far my returns are not very high at all and can in no way justify all the effort and time I have put into these projects. So far for the amount of time I have put into all this my overall income is in the neighborhood of $0.10/hour (yeah…not that impressive). But nonetheless it is a start, and I am happy with that. Hopefully with a little more promotion and continually adding additional online services/sites/apps I can up the income to a more realistic level.
My Results for last month are as follows
So far my only method of monetization has been Google Adsense
Asteroids Inc
Visits: 3446
Adsense Income: $15.6
Infobrink Blog
Adsense Income: $1.25
Moving forward I think these will be the next things I will try to accomplish this coming month.
-Find an additional source of monetization for both sites
-Create a HTML5 game portal
-Continue promoting Asteroids Inc

Cops accuse teacher of sex with student, 17, in car
He was allegedly her MVP.
A married North Carolina teacher has been accused of having sex with one of her 17-year-old students and regularly making out with him after high school basketball games.
Jessica Welch Greene, 27, from Mocksville, has been hit with three charges of having sex with the underage boy.
The new mother, a teacher at Davie County High School, was arrested in December, the Daily Mail reports.
The duo was spotted making out in the teacher's car after basketball games. Court records also reveal that the boy boasted to pals about having sex with Greene in her car.
Students told detectives that Greene regularly took the teen to movies and bought him pricey dinners. The teaching temptress also reportedly discussed getting married to the boy when he finished high school.
Greene was apparently being watched for getting too close to male students and had been warned by her bosses.
She's back in court January 26.
She is the second teacher in Davie County to be pinched for alleged sex offences with students in the past few months.
Shannon Handy Wood, 33, a former coach and teacher at Ellis Middle School, allegedly sent nude photos to a student.
She was charged in September with statutory sex offence with a child under 15, three counts of disseminating material harmful to a minor, one count of taking indecent liberties with a minor and one count of disseminating obscene material to a minor, according to arrest warrants.

Dov Charney is crashing the gates at American Apparel, and the company is scrambling to bolt the doors.
The ousted CEO of the embattled clothing retailer has called for a special shareholder meeting, looking to more than double the size of the board to 15 directors in a bid to regain control, the company disclosed in a Monday regulatory filing.
The Charney request to the board for the special meeting was received on Friday, the company said in the filing.
In retaliation, the board on Saturday raised the hurdles to call a special shareholder meeting, amending company bylaws to require lengthy advance notice, according to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The dispute is likely to soon land the controversial executive and the embattled apparel maker in court with, perhaps, the future of the Los Angeles company hanging in the balance.
Charney on June 18 was stripped of his chairman role and suspended as CEO in a surprise coup by the board, which cited alleged misconduct as the reason for its move.
Such litigation could drag on for weeks, if not months, legal experts said.
Charney will likely accuse the board of breaching its fiduciary duties by amending the company's bylaws, the experts said.
"These amended bylaws don't necessarily do anything but slow the train," said Randy Katz, a partner at law firm BakerHostetler in Los Angeles, which is not involved in the case.
But the board's maneuver, along with an anti-takeover "poison pill" provision it adopted Saturday, could make it more difficult and expensive to seize majority control of the company's stock, Katz noted.
Meanwhile, American Apparel is floundering without a CEO as it grapples with a liquidity crisis.
The company's cash crunch is coming to a head, as Lion Capital has denied a waiver on a $10 million loan whose default was triggered by Charney's ouster.
Charney, who owns 27 percent of American Apparel's outstanding shares, disclosed in a Friday regulatory filing that he has partnered with Standard General, a New York investment firm, to amass a controlling stake in the company.
Charney's idea is to form a bloc with more than 50 percent of American Apparel shares and then, at the special shareholders' meeting add directors to the board who would then vote Charney back in as chairman and CEO.
The move on Saturday by American Apparel to drag out the process for a shake-up included requiring two 10-day notice requirements for stockholders seeking "written consent" for a shareholder meeting.
Also, the board lengthened the advance notice required to nominate directors at its annual meeting to between 120 and 150 days before the anniversary date of the last annual meeting, which was held June 18.
In the wake of the filing, American Apparel shares dipped 15 percent in Monday trading, to 82.1 cents in very heaving trading.


text: PHOENIX, Jan. 16 -- iBIZ Technology Corp. announced this week it has begun taking orders for its Virtual Laser Keyboard, which uses a laser beam to project a glowing red outline of a keyboard on a desk or other flat surface. A sensor like those used in digital cameras monitors the reflection of an infrared light projected on the same spot, so it can tell which "keys" are being struck by the way that reflection changes.The Virtual Laser Keyboard is compatible with Palm, Pocket PCs, laptops and desktop PCs. The device weighs two ounces and is about the size of a disposable cigarette lighter. The keyboard employs a USB/serial cable connection to communicate with the PDA or PC. Future models will incorporate Bluetooth and/or IR Wireless Connections to a variety of devices, IBIZ saids. It retails for $100 and includes a self-contained, rechargeable lithium ion battery that provides it with its own internal power supply -- so it doesn't drain power from a PDA, for example. The company said the battery lasts three to four hours, or the device can be plugged directly into an A/C outlet. The company said the virtual keybaord is just as responsive as regular keyboards and that it can even be used in well-lit areas. It said it's a good choice for workplaces with clean rooms, in medical facilities, or in any industry that requires a dirt-free environment -- or, presumably, for anyone who's fed up with crumbs, dirt and germs accumulating in keyboards, sometimes to the point of disabling them. An upcoming version for cell phones will be available later this year. IBIZ said it will be making delivery on the first units in approximately 30 days.

A sonogram is a test that sends high-pitched sound waves through your skin, and the echoes form a picture on a TV monitor. This test measures blood flow through your arteries. It is useful for locating blockages. This test is non-invasive (there is no penetration of the skin by needles, etc.).
Before The Procedure There are no special preparations for this test. You will be taken to the Vascular Lab in a wheelchair or by stretcher. During The Procedure If you go by wheelchair, you will then lie on a bed in an exam room for the test. There will be a short wait while the Vascular lab technician reviews your chart. A water-based gel is used to keep contact with the skin. The sound waves then produce a visual and sound image on a monitor.
While the technician does the test, he/she may be making a video tape for your physician to watch. The technician will be talking into the machine telling your physician what the test shows about your vascular system. You may hear your heartbeat and/or a whooshing sound as your blood flows. After The Procedure After a brief wait, you will be taken back to your room by wheelchair or stretcher. Your physician will explain the results of the tests after he/she views the video.

HiI guess today is my wanting day. I am looking for a general purpose text editor that relies mostly on coloring text to improve readability and usability. I will be using for browsing text or code. What I am looking for is not code highlighting though(might be part of he deal ). I want this editor to be able to recognize indents, tabs, groups, occuring sentences, words, grammar rules etc and color them either randomly or based on predefined rules. For example one paragraph could be orange the next one would be dark blue etc. Once I improve my coding I will write one myself but I need one right now -kartal (April 29, 2009, 09:33 PM)

Advice & Tips: Having a service dog is immeasurably beneficial. The benefits for me include an increased tolerance of social situations and being physically touched, an increase in the ability to handle stress, increased confidence level and the ability to be comfortably "out in the world," the constant companionship of someone who is real, genuine, never plays games, and hasn't ulterior motives, and someone who provides a comforting/calming deep pressure (one of his tasks - "Howie, hug!"). Having a service dog is a constant responsibility. I would very, very highly recommend to someone contemplating getting a service tog to get one that has been fully trained for that purpose. Howie is my third dog, but the only one I got that was already fully trained. I would never again do it any other way. But be forewarned: a trained service dog is extremely expensive. Howie was $16,000. To replace him now would cost me $20,000. To me he is more than worth it. Most people who purchase a service dog must fundraise. But Howie is my life. (And absolutely every expense associated with a service dog is tax-deductible. They are considered medical expenses.)
