[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 15:03:54 05/08/13 It took a life-threatening condition to jolt chemistry teacher Ramsey Musallam out of ten years of "pseudo-teaching" to understand the true role of the educator: to cultivate curiosity. In a fun and personal talk, Musallam gives 3 rules to spark imagination and learning, and get students excited about how the world works.
[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 15:01:20 05/08/13 Until recently, many teachers only got one word of feedback a year: "satisfactory." And with no feedback, no coaching, there's just no way to improve. Bill Gates suggests that even great teachers can get better with smart feedback -- and lays out a program from his foundation to bring it to every classroom.
[LESS INFO] 21 VIEWS | ADDED 15:13:31 05/07/13 For foreigners, learning to speak Chinese is a hard task. But learning to read the beautiful, often complex characters of the Chinese written language may be less difficult. ShaoLan walks through a simple lesson in recognizing the ideas behind the characters and their meaning -- building from a few simple forms to more complex concepts. Call it Chineasy.
[LESS INFO] 5 VIEWS | ADDED 15:07:35 05/06/13 In this well-argued talk, Timothy Bartik makes the macro-economic case for preschool education -- and explains why you should be happy to invest in it, even if you don't have kids that age (or kids at all). The economic benefits of well-educated kids, it turns out, go well beyond the altruistic. (Filmed at TEDxMiamiUniversity.)
[LESS INFO] 25 VIEWS | ADDED 14:02:17 05/03/13 Rita Pierson, a teacher for 40 years, once heard a colleague say, "They don't pay me to like the kids." Her response: "Kids don't learn from people they don't like.'" A rousing call to educators to believe in their students and actually connect with them on a real, human, personal level.
[LESS INFO] 16 VIEWS | ADDED 14:57:57 05/02/13 What if Andy Warhol had it wrong, and instead of being famous for 15 minutes, we're only anonymous for that long? In this short talk, Juan Enriquez looks at the surprisingly permanent effects of digital sharing on our personal privacy. He shares insight from the ancient Greeks to help us deal with our new "digital tattoos."
[LESS INFO] 17 VIEWS | ADDED 14:58:09 05/01/13 Economics PhD Sebastião Salgado only took up photography in his 30s, but the discipline became an obsession. His years-long projects beautifully capture the human side of a global story that all too often involves death, destruction or decay. Here, he tells a deeply personal story of the craft that nearly killed him, and shows breathtaking images from his latest work, Genesis, which documents the world's forgotten people and places.
[LESS INFO] 23 VIEWS | ADDED 15:01:22 04/30/13 Taylor Wilson was 14 when he built a nuclear fusion reactor in his parents' garage. Now 19, he returns to the TED stage to present a new take on an old topic: fission. Wilson, who has won backing to create a company to realize his vision, explains why he's so excited about his innovative design for small modular fission reactors -- and why it could be the next big step in solving the global energy crisis.
[LESS INFO] 11 VIEWS | ADDED 15:00:49 04/29/13 Nilofer Merchant suggests a small idea that just might have a big impact on your life and health: Next time you have a one-on-one meeting, make it into a "walking meeting" -- and let ideas flow while you walk and talk.
[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 15:07:17 04/26/13 Tech columnist David Pogue shares 10 simple, clever tips for computer, web, smartphone and camera users. And yes, you may know a few of these already -- but there's probably at least one you don't.
[LESS INFO] 24 VIEWS | ADDED 14:59:38 04/25/13 When we drive, we get into a glass bubble, lock the doors and press the accelerator, relying on our eyes to guide us -- even though we can only see the few cars ahead of and behind us. But what if cars could share data with each other about their position and velocity, and use predictive models to calculate the safest routes for everyone on the road? Jennifer Healey imagines a world without accidents. (Filmed at TED@Intel.)
[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 15:03:41 04/23/13 As machines take on more jobs, many find themselves out of work or with raises indefinitely postponed. Is this the end of growth? No, says Erik Brynjolfsson -- it's simply the growing pains of a radically reorganized economy. A riveting case for why big innovations are ahead of us … if we think of computers as our teammates. Be sure to watch the opposing viewpoint from Robert Gordon.
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 14:59:38 04/23/13 The US economy has been expanding wildly for two centuries. Are we witnessing the end of growth? Economist Robert Gordon lays out 4 reasons US growth may be slowing, detailing factors like epidemic debt and growing inequality, which could move the US into a period of stasis we can't innovate our way out of. Be sure to watch the opposing viewpoint from Erik Brynjolfsson.
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 14:59:34 04/22/13 Does texting mean the death of good writing skills? John McWhorter posits that there's much more to texting -- linguistically, culturally -- than it seems, and it's all good news.
[LESS INFO] 8 VIEWS | ADDED 15:00:27 04/19/13 Remember the days you struggled just to make a yo-yo spin, and if you were really fancy, to "walk the dog"? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Japanese yo-yo world champion BLACK tells the inspiring story of finding his life's passion, and gives an awesome performance that will make you want to pull your yo-yo back out of the closet.
[LESS INFO] 9 VIEWS | ADDED 15:00:13 04/18/13 Deep brain stimulation is becoming very precise. This technique allows surgeons to place electrodes in almost any area of the brain, and turn them up or down -- like a radio dial or thermostat -- to correct dysfunction. Andres Lozano offers a dramatic look at emerging techniques, in which a woman with Parkinson's instantly stops shaking and brain areas eroded by Alzheimer's are brought back to life. (Filmed at TEDxCaltech.)

Meet Gonzo. He is a blind sled dog.
Poncho, his brother, to whom he is hitched, is his guide and team partner.
Together, the 7-year-old Alaskan huskies form the perfect team with heart and speed, said AJ Norton, one of the mushers for the Muddy Paw sled dog kennel, on the Valley Road.
"Gonzo always wants to go," she said.
When hitched to Poncho, Gonzo will lean in for the turns, and gauge his own gait and cadence on the movement of his brother, Norton said.
The two friendly pups are among more than 120 dogs at the no-kill, nonprofit shelter for sled dogs, which offers dog sledding as a means to pay for food and care.
In addition to offering extended educational experiences from the kennel, they send teams to the Omni Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods and the Mountain View Grand Hotel in Whitefield to offer introductory rides for guests and the public.
Karen Tolin and Neil Beaulieu began the shelter almost nine years ago with a few Alaskan Huskies who were surrendered by their owners, who could not longer pay for their upkeep.
Gonzo and Poncho were part of a litter born at the kennel. She said Gonzo could see for his first three years, but his eyes began to cloud over.
"The vet could not figure out why he was going blind," said Tolin. "It is still a mystery."

I have never met him personally, but from videos and pics you can really see sincerity in his eyes. In my opinion, a humble and sincere man is the most attractive kind of man you can find. ; )
Well for me he is a very handsome young man , and i like that but u have to really listen to his lyrics and watch what he does for the community and to help other people and also he is another R&B singer who is living a gud life and doesn't only think about himself and for me although i never got to meet him just watching his videos he has a great personality.

Funny app
You know when you have to pee at a movie theater, but you don't want to miss the movie? Well, RunPee tells you when to run to the bathroom without missing anything major and tells you what's happening in the movie while you're away.
My inner twelve-year-old boy can't stop laughing.
P.S. Do you pee in front of your significant other?
(Thanks, Dad!)
57 comments:
I have had this app on my phone for a long time. The best part is that it will give you a quick synopsis of the film's first 5 minutes in case you are running late. No synopsis of the previews you sadly missed, though. (I love previews.)
One time I was browsing through it and I looked for the pee times for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It said something to the effect of, "This movie is so confusing we don't know when to tell you to pee." Ha!Hilarious! I will tell my boyfriend to get it because he is bad about the bathroom during movies!
Followers to Friends Blog Hop is Live!I read the past post about peeing and my answer is no! I too have resorted to running the water when we have been in hotel rooms that I felt were too close for comfort. It my sound strange, because we are super close and not uptight about really anything! But we do have that separation and it works for us :o) Oh, and seriously hardly EVER go out to the movies!
ReplyDeleteHahahah, there is an app even for that!
When I first moved to Italy I was so annoyed because they make a break during the movie, but now that I'm used to it I love it. People can go and pee, have a cigarette... although sometimes they stop the movie just randomly during an intense scene and I start panicking because I can't wait to see what happens next so I still might use the app :)I have had this app for a long time, and think it's just brilliant. Love sharing it w/ others too! The best part though, is the story of the guy that does the app and how he and his family actually go see all of the movies themselves. So funny how he refers to them as RunPee Sis and RunPee Mom!
http://runpee.com/2012/01/01/runpee-year-in-review-2011/OMG I am SO this person!!!!!! This is gold!

agirlintransit.blogspot.comWhat a great app! I always have to pee in the middle of a movie. And ABSOLUTELY I pee in front of the Hubs, and vice versa. Pee, fart, burb, you name it. We're married, it comes with the territory LOL!! But go #2 in front of each other? No way!! We will however tease each other endlessly when we stink up the bathroom hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteSo often I think, "This is really stupid. I can't believe it is actually useful to people." But then I read comments like these and it reminds me that people do find the app useful.
Truthfully, I've only been able to use the app once - EVER. RunPee Sis did the peetimes for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. A few weeks after it came out I went to see it - it's very rare for me to go see a movie in the theater just for enjoyment these days. I thought to myself, "Self, you should start the timer in the app just to give it a test run in the intended environment." So I did. Then half way through the movie I thought, "You know. I kind'a have to pee." Then a few minutes later I thought, "Crap, there's no way I'm going to make it to the end of the movie without peeing." I took a quick peek at the app and it told me I had something like 10 minutes until the next peetime. Then about 8 minutes later the phone vibrated letting me know I was just 2 minutes away. Then one. I took off at the described cue, ran to the restroom. Did my business and then came back to the theater and stood out of sight in the hall to read the synopsis. It was perfect. RunPee Sis nailed it. I knew exactly what happened while I was away and was able to sit back down and enjoy the movie in comfort.
This app really is genius. Who knew! :-)
Thanks everyone for the support and positive feedback.So a few months ago I was telling one of my friends that my guy had come over and kissed me while I was peeing and that we'd had a good laugh about it, and she said, "Ohhhh, Dave and I have a strict privacy policy when it comes to the bathroom. Occasionally I walk in while he's showering to get a toothbrush but that's about it." I told another friend about this and she seemed to be on the bathroom privacy side of things too. I began to think that we're the only ones who pee in front of each other!
Maybe this stems from the fact that I come from a very open family. I can remember lots of conversations that began or ended while someone was peeing. Poop is another story, but conversations have definitely happened on the other side of doors on rare #2 occasions. One of my husband's vows were to always make noise whenever I need it -- because I'm always shouting, "Make some noise!" when I run to the loo. (TMI?)I love this app. Not only does it explain when there are good times for pee breaks, but it will also inform you which ones are better. Plus, it also tells you if there is any extra scenes after the credits. I am infamous amongst my friends for rushing to the bathroom as close to the start of a movie as possible, so that I don't have to go during the movie. It is especially good for the 3 hour movies.
ReplyDeleteNope, I will NOT pee in front of my hubby. This will never happened. He doesn't pee in front of me either. I'm so shocked when I found out my friends think nothing of it!

I am Doris used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes…i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Meruja); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as firstname.lastname@example.com He travel sometimes.love marriage,finance, job promotion ,gambling voodoo,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something

Bestselling Springsteen Bio Illustrated by South Jersey Photographer
Three of Palmyra resident Frank Stefanko's photos of Bruce Springsteen appear in a revealing new biography about the Boss.
Getting at what drives Bruce Springsteen has never been easy. But, a new biography by author Peter Ames Carlin digs as deep into the Boss' psyche as any previous book has. Bruce, published Oct. 30 by Simon & Schuster, is already on the New York Times bestseller list. The 494-page book, written with Springsteen's cooperation, has a South Jersey connection. Palmyra resident Frank Stefanko shot three of the photos used in the book. Two of the pictures were shot at the former Shellow's Luncheonette in East Camden in 1978. One shows Springsteen playing pinball as members of the E Street Band watch. The other is a group shot, with the entire band jammed around a booth. The third photo, shot in 1982, depicts pre-superstardom Springsteen sitting…

that was closest to playoff game in years..... and that.
dc better start giving JJ and tr minutes. time to get ready for next year. no more gray, no more AA.
"Championships are what we live for, now lets go win them."Tim Leiweke
Rudy gay in but still same old Raps...can't close out games, horrible 4th quarter team in significant games.
They foul like crazy, and that needs to change to move forward in these close 4th quarter games.
6 fourth quarter turnovers!!! OMG
I am so sick of losing...where was Ross? where was Valanciunas? why was AA allowed to play? where was the refs whistle on the 7 second inbounds... SO SICK OF THIS SHIT...
I love Casey but man... his in game decisions are hard to defend
this loss hurts b/c the celtics are arrogant pricks, and b/c of the playoff implications. yeah I am fucking done until another trade goes down.
When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.
The offense in the 4th goes to shit every game. it consists of post up Anderson, or dribble around and take a tough fade away. why the hell do they move away from what was working allllllll game???? jesus they beat themselves, the celtics didn't win
Not this guy!
Again managing subs is a real problem with Casey. I don't care if Lowry ended up getting only a minute of rest, the game was obviously slipping away in the early part of the 4th. Put him back in and hope to rebuild momentum right away.

Holiday Hours at Shopping Malls
Wherever you're headed, Patch has the information you need to plan a holiday shopping stop at one of the area's malls.
No matter which mall you want to hit—or maybe you're planning to stop at them all—Patch has information on their extended holiday hours. And this year's shopping season is as long as it can be, with the most days possible between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Bayshore Town Center, 5800 N. Bayshore Drive, Glendale. With a combination of indoor and outdoor shopping, this revamped shopping mall provides something a little different from the traditional shopping mall experience.
Brookfield Square, 95 N. Moorland Road, Brookfield. This mall features anchor stores Boston Store, Sears and JCPenney, plus more than 110 stores. There are nine restaurants in the food court, and seven sit-down restaurants, like Bravo! Cucina Italiana, Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant and Red Robin.
Mayfair Mall, 2500 N. Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa. Home to Macy's, Boston Store, Crate & Barrel, Build-A-Bear Workshop and an in-mall movie theater, Mayfair has enough to keep shoppers occupied for a full day.
Southridge Mall, 5300 S. 76th St., Greendale. With a new Macy's and a renovated Boston Store, if it's been more than a year since your last visit, this mall is worth another stop. Other anchor stores include JCPenney, Kohls and Sears.
We're still collecting information on hours for Regency Mall in Racine and the Shops at Grand Avenue in Milwaukee. We'll update this article with links to those stories once we have the details.

Haiti is a Creole and French-speaking Caribbean nation of nearly ten million people that occupies the western side of island of Hispaniola.
The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern side of Hispaniola, which is part of the group of islands known as the Greater Antilles.
One of the distinguishing features of Haiti is that it is a small, densely populated (266.5 persons/km2) and predominantly rural country.
Map of Haiti (Source: CIA, The World Factbook)
In 1998, about 75% of the population lived under the poverty line. Nearly 70% of all Haitians depend on the agricultural sector, which consists mainly of small-scale subsistence farming and employs about two-thirds of the economically active force.
The January 2010 earthquake and the multiple hurricanes of late 2008 exacerbated Haiti's position as the least-developed country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world.
Per capita GDP is under $2 per day, and comparative social and economic indicators continue to decline.
Haiti ranks 146th of 177 countries in the UN's Human Development Index,.
Its major environmental issues include:
- extensive deforestation (much of the remaining forested land is being cleared for agriculture and used as fuel);
- soil erosion; and,
- inadequate supplies of potable water.
Haiti lies in the middle of the hurricane belt and subject to severe storms from June to October; occasional flooding and earthquakes and periodic droughts.
Location: Caribbean, western one-third of the island of Hispaniola, between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, west of the Dominican Republic.
Geographic Coordinates: 19 00 N, 72 25 W
Area: 27,750 square km (27,560 sq km of land and 190 sq km of water)
arable land: 28.11%
permanent crops: 11.53%
other: 60.36% (2005)
Land Boundaries: 360 km with the Dominican Republic
Coastline: 1,771 km
Maritime Claims: Territorial sea to 12 nautical miles; contiguous zone to 24 nautical miles; exclusive economic zone to 200 nautical miles; continental shelf to depth of exploitation.
Natural Hazards: Haiti lies in the middle of the hurricane belt and subject to severe storms from June to October; occasional flooding and earthquakes; periodic droughts.
Terrain: Mostly rough and mountainous. The highest point is Chaine de la Selle (2,680 meters).
Climate: Tropical; semiarid where mountains in east cut off trade winds. Strong and irregular rains characterize the tropical humid weather, which are a consequence of the country's mountainous terrain. The average annual precipitation in Haiti is 1,461 millimeters (mm), yet it varies enormously especially with elevation and exposure to the dominant winds.

Ecology and Biodiversity
The Island of Hispaniola is home to a rich mixture of ecoregions and biodiversity. However, Haiti's ecology has been significantly degraded over a sustained period of time and stands in stark contrast to the environmental conditions of the Dominican Republic which occupied the eastern two-thirds of the islands of Hispaniola. It it estimated that only 1.44% of the total original forest coverage remains. Deforestation has led to increased runoff of rain and significant soil degradation. Flooding, particularly when tropical storms or hurricanes occur in the region, has been a recurrent problem exacerbated by deforestation.
1. Hispaniolan moist forests originally occupied more than half (~60%) of the original vegetation on the island of Hispaniola, from the lowlands particularly on the eastern coast of the island (Haiti) to the valleys, plateaus, slopes and foothills of the many mountain ranges, up to an altitude of about 2,100 meters. Less than 200 km2 of unaltered rainforest remains in Haiti. 2. Hispaniolan dry forests 3. Hispaniolan pine forests are located on slopes with shallow soils and higher elevations of the mountain systems. In Haiti, this ecoregion is only represented in parts of the Pic Macaya National Park and the La Visite National Park. 4. Enriquillo wetlands are the remains of an old marine channel that divided the island of Hispaniola into two paleoislands more than 5,000 years ago. The largest lake in this ecoregion, Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic is the largest and most hypersaline lake in all of the Antilles. In Haiti, Saumatre Lagoon (Étang Saumatre or Lago Azuei) is the country's largest lake. It occupies another concavity 10 km west of Lake Enriquillo, separated from it by the Jimaní anticline. 5. Bahamoan-Antillean mangroves/Greater Antilles mangroves cover about 134 km2of Haiti. |

The native Taino Amerindians - who inhabited the island of Hispaniola when it was discovered by Columbus in 1492 - were virtually annihilated by Spanish settlers within 25 years.
The Spaniards used the island of Hispaniola (of which Haiti is the western part and the Dominican Republic the eastern) as a launching point from which to explore the rest of the Western Hemisphere. French buccaneers later used the western third of the island as a point from which to harass English and Spanish ships. In 1697, Spain ceded the western third of Hispaniola to France. As piracy was gradually suppressed, some French adventurers became planters, making Saint Domingue, as the French portion of the island was known, the "pearl of the Antilles"--one of the richest colonies in the 18th-century French empire.
During this period, African slaves were brought to work on sugarcane and coffee plantations. In 1791, the slave population revolted--led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jean Jacques Dessalines, and Henri Christophe--and gained control of the northern part of the French colony, waging a war of attrition against the French.
By January 1804, local forces defeated an army sent by Napoleon Bonaparte, established independence from France, and renamed the area Haiti. The impending defeat of the French in Haiti is widely credited with contributing to Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana territory to the United States in 1803. Haiti is the world's oldest black republic and the second-oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere, after the United States. Although Haiti actively assisted the independence movements of many Latin American countries, the independent nation of former slaves was excluded from the hemisphere's first regional meeting of independent nations, in Panama in 1826, and did not receive U.S. diplomatic recognition until 1862.
Two separate regimes--north and south--emerged after independence but were unified in 1820. Two years later, Haiti occupied Santo Domingo, the eastern, Spanish-speaking part of Hispaniola. In 1844, however, Santo Domingo broke away from Haiti and became the Dominican Republic. With 22 changes of government from 1843 to 1915, Haiti experienced numerous periods of intense political and economic disorder, prompting the United States military intervention of 1915. Following a 19-year occupation, U.S. military forces were withdrawn in 1934, and Haiti regained sovereign rule.
The late 1950s saw the start of the violent and repressive dictatorship of Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier. Elected president in 1957, he declared himself president-for-life in 1964 and ruled until his death in 1971 with the help of his paramilitary force, the Tontons Macoutes. Francois Duvalier was succeeded by his son, Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, who also declared himself president-for-life. The Duvaliers' rule was characterized by repressive state controls, including the lack of basic democratic rights. Faced with economic collapse and a popular uprising, Jean-Claude Duvalier fled to France on February 7, 1986. The period immediately after his departure was marked by mob vengeance against members of the Tontons Macoutes. From 1986 to 1990, Haiti was ruled by a series of provisional governments. In March 1987, a constitution was ratified that provided for an elected, bicameral parliament; an elected president as head of state; and a prime minister, cabinet, ministers, and Supreme Court appointed by the president with the parliament's consent. The constitution also provided for political decentralization through the election of mayors and administrative bodies responsible for local government.
In December 1990, Jean-Bertrand Aristide won 67% of the vote in a presidential election that international observers deemed largely free and fair. Aristide took office on February 7, 1991, but was overthrown that September in a violent coup led by army elements and supported by many of the country's economic elite. The coup contributed to a large-scale exodus of Haitians by boat. From October 1991 to September 1994 a de facto military regime governed Haiti. Several thousand Haitians may have been killed during the de facto military rule. Various Organization of American States (OAS) and United Nations initiatives to end the political crisis through the peaceful restoration of the constitutionally elected government failed. On July 31, 1994, the UN Security Council (UNSC) authorized member states to use all necessary means to facilitate the departure of Haiti's military leadership and to restore Haiti's constitutionally elected government to power. In mid-September, with troops prepared to enter Haiti by force, Gen. Raoul Cedras and other top leaders agreed to accept the intervention of the U.S.-led multinational force. President Aristide and other elected officials in exile returned on October 15.
Nationwide local and parliamentary elections in June 1995 returned a pro-Aristide, multi-party coalition called the Lavalas Political Organization (OPL) to power at all levels. In accordance with the constitutional bar on succeeding himself, President Aristide agreed to step aside and support a presidential election in December 1995. Rene Preval, a prominent Aristide political ally, took 88% of the vote, and was sworn in to a 5-year term on February 7, 1996, during what was Haiti's first-ever transition between two democratically elected presidents.
In late 1996, former President Aristide broke from the OPL and created a new political party, the Lavalas Family (FL). The OPL, holding the majority of the Parliament, renamed itself the Struggling People's Organization. Initial results of elections in April 1997 for the renewal of one-third of the Senate and creation of commune-level assemblies and town delegations showed victories for FL candidates in most races. However, the elections, which drew only about 5% of registered voters, were plagued with allegations of fraud and not certified by most international observers as free and fair.
Preval's first term was marked by political wrangling. The opposition blocked his initiatives, and he failed to organize timely legislative elections. Following parliamentary elections that the opposition deemed deeply flawed on August 28, 2000, Haiti's main bilateral donors re-channeled their assistance away from the government and announced they would not support or send observers to the November elections. Most opposition parties regrouped in an alliance that became the Democratic Convergence. Elections for President and nine Senators took place on November 26, 2000. All major opposition parties boycotted these elections, in which voter participation was estimated at 5%. Jean-Bertrand Aristide emerged as the easy victor of these controversial elections, and the candidates of his FL party swept all contested Senate seats. On February 7, 2001, Jean-Bertrand Aristide was inaugurated as President.
The political stalemate continued, and violence ensued. On July 28, 2001, unknown gunmen attacked police facilities in Port-au-Prince and the provinces. A subsequent government crackdown on opposition party members and former soldiers further increased tensions between Lavalas and Convergence. On December 17, 2001, unidentified gunmen attacked the National Palace in Port-au-Prince. Following the assault, pro-government groups attacked the offices and homes of several opposition leaders. One opposition member was killed. Negotiations between FL and Democratic Convergence were suspended indefinitely.
Despite the creation of an OAS Special Mission designed to strengthen Haiti's democratic institutions in security, justice, human rights, and governance, security continued to deteriorate. Events spiraled downward throughout 2003, as President Aristide and the opposition failed to agree on a political resolution. Following a meeting with Aristide at the Summit of the Americas in January 2004, Caribbean Community leaders proposed a plan to resolve the political crisis, which President Aristide said he accepted. A high-level international delegation went to Haiti February 21 to obtain agreement on a specific implementation timetable. President Aristide agreed, but the opposition "Democratic Platform" group of political parties and civil society expressed reservations. Meanwhile, violence in Gonaives culminated February 5 in the "Artibonite Resistance Front" seizing control of the city. Other armed groups opposed to the Aristide government quickly emerged and succeeded in seizing control of many towns, mostly with little resistance from government authorities. By February 28, 2004, a rebel group led by a former police chief, Guy Philippe, advanced to within 25 miles of the capital. On February 29, 2004 Aristide submitted his resignation as President of Haiti and flew on a chartered plane to Africa.
2004-2009 - Interim Government Gives Way to a New Democracy
Following the constitutional line of succession, Supreme Court Chief Justice Boniface Alexandre assumed the presidency and Gerard Latortue was appointed prime minister of the Interim Government of Haiti (IGOH) with the mandate of organizing elections to choose a new government. The interim government managed to organize three rounds of elections with the help of the OAS and UN. The first round of elections for President and Parliament took place peacefully on February 7, 2006, with a turnout estimated at over 60% of registered voters. The elections were considered generally free, fair, transparent, and democratic by national and international observers.
Rene Preval, former President (1996-2001) and former ally to Aristide, won the presidential election with 51.15%. Partial results first showed he fell short of an absolute majority, which triggered demonstrations against alleged fraud. The later decision of the Electoral Council not to count blank ballots gave the victory to Preval. The Parliament, composed of a 30-seat Senate and a 99-member Chamber of Deputies, was elected in two rounds held on February 7 and April 21, 2006. Lespwa was the main political force in both chambers but fell short of the majority. Fusion, UNION, Alyans, OPL, and Fanmi Lavalas had many representatives in both chambers. Preval chose his long-time political associate and former Prime Minister Jacques-Edouard Alexis to serve again as his Prime Minister. Municipal elections were held December 3, 2006 and April 29, 2007. Some of these local government positions had not been filled in over a decade.
A series of crises in 2008 threatened Haiti's democratic consolidation. Nationwide civil disturbances broke out in April 2008, sparked by sharp increases in food and fuel prices. The April riots caused widespread disruption and suffering, toppled the government of Prime Minister Alexis, and forced postponement of a donor conference. In August and September, four tropical storms and hurricanes killed 800, affected nearly one million, exacerbated food shortages and pushed yet more Haitians into poverty. In early September 2008, Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis's government took office and acted decisively within its means to provide relief and reconstruction. Pierre-Louis initially received cooperation from Parliament in crafting a relief package, but soon after Parliament summoned both her and her ministers to explain perceived delays in delivering relief assistance and to criticize her 2008-2009 budget.
Despite the devastating hurricanes and food riots in 2008, the Preval administration made substantial gains in the overall physical security throughout Haiti. The international community took notice of Haiti's relative stability, and in January 2009, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon commissioned British economist Paul Collier to draft an economic development strategy for Haiti. In February, shortly after taking office, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton identified Haiti as a policy priority. By March, Collier's report, "Haiti: From Natural Catastrophe to Economic Security" was adapted by the Government of Haiti as a template for its own economic growth strategy, presented at the Haiti Donor's Conference hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank in April. The strategy called on donors to assist the Haitian Government by investing in the country's roads, export zones, agriculture, electricity, schools, hospitals, and ports. In May 2009, the Secretary General named former U.S. President William J. Clinton as UN Special Envoy for Haiti and charged him with coordinating donors and attracting private investment to Haiti.
On October 20, 2009, Prime Minister Pierre-Louis was dismissed by the Senate, 1 year after taking office. Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, former Minister of Planning and External Cooperation, took office in November 2009. By most accounts, Haiti prior to the January 2010 earthquake enjoyed relative internal stability. The country had a fully functioning legislature, and although it had risked instability by ousting Prime Minister Pierre-Louis, it demonstrated a marked readiness to act by promptly approving new Prime Minister Bellerive.
January 12, 2010 Earthquake
On January 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, with its epicenter near Port-au-Prince. The quake caused severe damage in Port-au-Prince, Leogane, Jacmel, and surrounding communities. Search and rescue teams were on the ground in Port-au-Prince immediately following the earthquake and worked 24 hours a day using listening devices, cameras, and trained dogs to detect any sign of human life. Rescue efforts eventually transitioned into recovery efforts on January 27, 15 days after the earthquake. The government estimated 230,000 deaths, about one million displaced people within the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, and 598,000 people who migrated from the affected areas to other locations in Haiti. Most of those people are thought to have returned to Port-au-Prince, as the communities of origin lacked the capacity to sustain the increase in population.
Following the earthquake, the U.S. military and representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team (DMORT) worked side by side to recover, identify, and repatriate any American citizen that was recovered. All U.S. citizens believed to be in the Hotel Montana, which had collapsed in the earthquake, were repatriated back to the United States, and families of victims recovered from other locations were given the choice of repatriation or local disposition. The U.S. Embassy and the Bureau of Consular Affairs' Office of American Citizens Services and Crisis Management were in regular and direct contact with the families of all of the missing.
U.S. Southern Command established Joint Task Force Haiti to support the relief effort following the earthquake. At the height of the task force's initial response, the U.S. contributed more than 20,000 U.S. troops, 20 ships, and 130 aircraft. U.S. military forces were focused on mitigating the negative weather effects on displacement camps in Port-au-Prince, supporting efforts to relocate displacement camps to transitional resettlement sites, and positioning the task force for a seamless transition. By March 15, all Canadian troops had left Haiti. Joint Task Force Haiti completed its mission on June 1, 2010. A small military liaison office of eight people remained in Port-au-Prince to coordinate further humanitarian missions with the lead U.S. federal agency, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Government of Haiti during the already-scheduled theater security cooperation exercise called New Horizons. The exercise brought in about 500 soldiers--mainly from the Louisiana National Guard along with soldiers from the Arizona, Montana, Nevada, Puerto Rican, and Virgin Island National Guards--to conduct engineering activities and medical readiness training exercises in the vicinity of Gonaives, north of Port-au-Prince.
The earthquake's enormous devastation threatened political and socio-economic stability and posed huge recovery and reconstruction challenges. The earthquake was the worst in Haiti in the previous 200 years, and generated an estimated $11.5 billion (173% of GDP) in damages and reconstruction costs. Assisting Haiti in recovery and rebuilding is a massive undertaking and requires a well-coordinated, well-funded, Government of Haiti-led effort by the Haitian people, the United States, the United Nations, other nations, international organizations, the Haitian Diaspora, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The outpouring of international support has been tremendous, as has the resolve of the Haitian people. The U.S. Government continues to work with the Haitian Government, NGOs, the UN, and partner nations to provide humanitarian assistance in Haiti. U.S. Government humanitarian relief efforts in Haiti total over $1 billion. The United States and other donor countries, international organizations, and other partners have pledged resources, coordinated support of Haiti's long-term recovery, and committed to a sustained, long-term effort to support Haiti. At the "International Donors' Conference Toward a New Future for Haiti," co-hosted by the United States and the United Nations on March 31, 2010 in New York, UN member states and international organizations pledged $9.9 billion toward reconstruction. The United States pledged $1.15 billion toward reconstruction efforts in the areas of energy, health, agriculture, governance, and security. The Government of Haiti presented its action plan outlining its vision for the future, which donors unanimously endorsed.
On April 15, 2010, the Haitian Parliament ratified a law extending by 18 months the state of emergency that President Preval had declared after the earthquake. The law also created the Interim Commission for the Reconstruction of Haiti (IHRC), allowing for Haitian-led planning with a role for international partners to provide input. The earthquake prompted postponement of legislative elections and cast uncertainty over whether presidential elections could be held at the end of 2010 as planned. On May 10, the mandates of one-third of the Senators and all of the 99 Deputies in the Haitian Parliament expired, leaving 19 Senators in office. In the interim, President Preval had the authority to rule by decree. Just before the mandates expired, Parliament passed a bill allowing President Preval to remain in office until May 2011, 3 months beyond the February date when he originally intended to step down. Presidential and parliamentary elections were held in November 2010 (first round) and March 2011 (second round).
The second round of elections on March 20, 2011 proceeded fairly calmly, and took into consideration a number of lessons learned from the November 28 first round. Michele Martelly won the presidential race, defeating Manigat by winning 67.5% of the vote. Martelly took office on May 14, 2011. Former President Preval's party swept the legislative race, having won a majority in the Senate and a plurality in the Chamber of Deputies. On October 5 the Senate approved former UN official Gary Conille as Prime Minister, breaking a 5-month political impasse. The same day, President Martelly issued a decree naming Anel Alexis Joseph as President of Haiti's Supreme Court. Haiti's new prime minister and his cabinet took office on October 18.
In 2004, the UN Security Council established the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) to support stability efforts in the country. Following the 2010-2011 elections, MINUSTAH's aims have been to restore a secure and stable environment, promote the political process, strengthen Haiti's governmental institutions and rule-of-law-structures, and promote and protect human rights.
Haiti has 14 km3 of internal renewable water resources plus 0.9 cubic kilometers (km3) of external renewable water resources that come from the Artibonite River from the Dominican Republic. Currently, only about 7.5% of the renewable water resources are utilized, of which 7.1% for irrigation. The rivers' water flow is characterized by wide seasonal fluctuation, partly because of rainfall irregularity, but also because of erosion and deforestation of catchments.
Freshwater withdrawal:0.99 cu km/yr (5% domestic/1% Industrial/94% Agricultural)
Freshwater withdrawal per capita: 116 cu m/yr (2000)
Irrigated land: 920 sq km (2003)
Nearly 70% of all Haitians depend on the agricultural sector, which consists mainly of small-scale subsistence farming and employs about two-thirds of the economically active force. However, the performance of Haiti's agricultural sector has been stagnant. From 1985 to 1989, agriculture's average annual growth rate was -0.5%, continuing the negative trend that began in 1980. However, the 1992, 1993 and 1994 harvests were the highest in recent years due to abundant rainfall and adoption of improved production practices. Economic value of agricultural production has been decreasing, even though land and labor resources allocated to agricultural production have been increasing. Land and labor productivity losses have resulted from a deterioration in the quality of the country's capital stock (e.g., soil fertility, irrigation systems, and roads), reflecting a political and economic environment that has discouraged investment. Yields, with the exception of rice, show a negative trend and are becoming increasingly lower than those recorded in other countries of the region. The impossibility for the state to supply much-needed public goods has been the key factor hampering the development of an institutional framework conducive to growth.
Agricultural products: coffee, mangoes, sugarcane, rice, corn, sorghum; wood
Haiti is a free market economy that enjoys the advantages of low labor costs and tariff-free access to the US for many of its exports.
Poverty, corruption, and poor access to education for much of the population are among Haiti's most serious disadvantages. Over the longer term, Haiti needs to create jobs for its young workforce and to build institutional capacity.
When the January 12, 2010 earthquake struck Port-au-Prince and surrounding communities, the Haitian economy had been growing slowly since 2005, with GDP growth (2.9%) barely outstripping population growth in FY 2009. Despite optimistic investment and revenue growth in the first quarter of FY 2010, the magnitude 7.0 earthquake set the economy back, and it contracted by 5.3% in FY 2010.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expected growth to rebound strongly in FY 2011, to about 9%, driven mostly by reconstruction and foreign investments.
The January 2010 earthquake and the multiple hurricanes of late 2008 exacerbated Haiti's position as the least-developed country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world. Per capita GDP is under $2 per day, and comparative social and economic indicators continue to decline. Haiti ranks 146th of 177 countries in the UN's Human Development Index, and its pre-earthquake ranking in the World Bank's 2011 Doing Business report went up marginally, from 163rd in the world in 2010 to 162nd.
Two-thirds of all Haitians depend on the agricultural sector, mainly small-scale subsistence farming, and remain vulnerable to damage from frequent natural disasters, exacerbated by the country's widespread deforestation. US economic engagement under the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement (HOPE) Act, passed in December 2006, has boosted apparel exports and investment by providing duty-free access to the US. Congress voted in 2010 to extend the legislation until 2020 under the Haitian Economic Lift Act (HELP); the apparel sector accounts for three-quarters of Haitian exports and nearly one-tenth of GDP.
Remittances are the primary source of foreign exchange, equaling nearly 20% of GDP and more than twice the earnings from exports.
Haiti suffers from a lack of investment, partly because of limited infrastructure and a lack of security.
In 2005, Haiti paid its arrears to the World Bank, paving the way for reengagement with the Bank. Haiti received debt forgiveness for over $1 billion through the Highly-Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative in mis-2009. The remainder of its outstanding external debt was cancelled by donor countries in early 2010 but has since risen to about $400 million.
The government relies on formal international economic assistance for fiscal sustainability, with over half of its annual budget coming from outside sources.

Best Uses
i would like to see your company carry more made in america products. there is a company in california that makes the garden shoes, clogs, and rain boots called Sloggers. they are wonderful i own them all. i am sure you can find many planters and such that are made in america.
These work very well and are quite sturdy. We get high winds up here and they stay on the railing. I used a thin piece of molding wedged under them because my deck railings are curvy. They don't dry out too fast, and they hold a LOT of plants/flowers. Neighbors love them. Just installed them 6 weeks ago, so I don't know about longevity, they look like they will last though.
- Clean design
- Stable fit
- Short life
Best Uses
I first bought these planters two years ago and I have been impressed with how well they withstood all manner of high-wind and rain storm, including the recent derecho. They didn't wobble on the railing one bit. They look really nice. We keep them on the western facing deck rail most of the year. This spring, when I went to replant them, I took hold of them by the rim and was dismayed that the rim tore right off. I called Gardener's about it and the customer service was wonderful (even while implying that I shouldn't leave the planters out in the sun year-round and what do I expect!). I was able to get them replaced at a fraction of the original price, sent straight to my house. The delivery was very speedy, the customer service was friendly and very helpful. I only wish these planters would last longer than two years, especially since I have four of them, and they all add up.
holds three plants per container
- Good Looking
- Sturdy
- not deep enough
Best Uses
- Deck or patio railing
I'd bought four of the slightly larger size and even though I think they're not quite deep enough - not enough root space - for most plants, I liked them enough to buy another pair. I had no trouble getting off the sticker on each.
- Fit perfectly on the rail
- Wear out in two years
Best Uses
- Planting annuals
I have bought these in the past and continue to do so, as they fit my rail perfectly and are a great size for putting in a few bright annuals. The downside is that they crack or break after a few years of being outside, and they are rather expensive for what they are. Local garden centers aren't carrying they because the price is too high, according to the ones I asked, so this is the best place to get them.

Hello everyone. This months topic is knife sharpening. How do you sharpen your knives? Also after you sharpen them do you test them before completing them?
I will normally take my edges down to .020 for a hunting knife and .025 for a chopper, before sharpening. I then go to the belt grinder and do a convex grind with a 220 or 320 grit J-Flex belt. I then remove the wire edge by stropping or a light buff. I will then check the edge by chopping seasoned oak or a number of other things. I also do a flex test on the edge with a brass rod to make sure the temper is correct. The knife is not completed at this stage so I can adjust temper if needed. I then go to hand rubbing the blade.
After completing the knife I like to use a Norton Tri Hone. Normally I will only use the fine india stone and it will only take a few strokes to make it really sharp. Then strop the blade to remove any wire burrs.
I also have a Norton 600 grit and 1000 grit hand stone for touch ups and sharpening things like recurves. These stones are 1/2"x 1/2"x 8".
That is pretty much my sharpening method. I am interested to see what other methods you all have.
