Used on my sweetheart table and I add lights under the bottom.

Very beautiful & Perfect for our theme
Verified Purchase
Location: Tampa, FL
This piece is absolutely beautiful and I love that I can use it as a show piece afterward. I did think it would be a little larger and the personalization being white and the sand being white does not allow the personalization to stand out. Otherwise, I LOVE it!!
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

This beachy and casual flute set is perfect for any destination or beach wedding. The stem of each flute is colored light blue and stands on its own inside the sand and seashell filled heart-shaped glass vase. This romantic toasting set is plenty sentimental all on its own, but the option to personalize the glass vase makes for an added special touch.

The big planning story of the last few weeks has been the release of the draft new metropolitan strategy, Plan Melbourne. I don't yet have any detailed comments to make on the plan itself, as I haven't had a chance to look through it in detail. However I did want to highlight one aspect of the plan relating to notice rights around housing, as it closely relates to a few things I've written about before here (namely the new zones and VicSmart). This is something that I know has been widely discussed in the industry, but I haven't seen an informed version of the discussion in the wider press. I also thought it would be worth covering just to spell out some of the chapter and verse of what has previously been said on this topic, since a fair few of the relevant documents are either hard to find or simply no longer available through the Department's website.
On the day that the strategy was released, there was a fair bit of publicity about proposed exemptions from notice and review for medium and higher density housing. This is an important issue because it relates to the roll-out of the new zones that is happening as we speak: the government launched new residential zones in July, and Councils have a year to choose where to apply them. Any change in how they are to work is therefore an urgent issue, which potentially needs to be resolved much sooner than the metropolitan strategy.

Fitted patio awnings
Patio awnings - features & benefits
Fitting a patio awning to your home is an ideal way to provide shade over a good sized area of patio or garden, enabling you to enjoy your outside space with protection from the heat and glare of the sun and from light rain showers.
Made-to-measure patio awnings can cover areas of all reasonable sizes, are easy to use and are designed for reliable performance over time.
Awnings are typically mounted on the side of a house over patio doors or windows. Fitted awnings from our featured supplier can cover widths of up to 7m and project up to 3.5m from the side of your home. When deciding on awning sizes, it's important to keep in mind the changing angles of sunlight and shade.
When not in use, patio awnings can be folded neatly away into fully enclosed cassette covers, which protect the fabric and structural parts from less pleasant weather. Motorised awnings even come complete with remote controls, which makes them very easy to operate at the touch of a button.
Hillarys awnings come in a wide choice of fabrics including awnings with detachable and variable drop valances, to help increase the amount of shade.
New patio awnings are also available with optional accessories for added convenience and comfort, to help you make even more use of your covered area. Popular awning accessories include lighting strips, timers, sun & wind sensors and radiant heaters.
Home awnings can be even be fitted on uneven walls and low buildings (eg bungalows) using plates that spread the weight. It's also possible to work around downpipes and guttering with special brackets. A Hillarys awnings advisor can provide free expert guidance on the best awning solution for your home.
Home awnings can make a real difference to the usability and enjoyment of patios and outside spaces. Choose a supplier like Hillarys to have a custom made awning fitted to your home or buy an awning online for DIY fitting.

Do not touch the RED and BLACK cable clamps together or connect both cable clamps to the same piece of metal to prevent personal physical injury and damage to the device and/or the vehicle.
Not recommended to use the jumper cables for any other purpose other than jump starting a vehicle.
3. Now attempt to crank start the engine.

4. Once the engine has successfully started, disconnect the jumper cable clamps immediately.
WARNING: Disconnect the jumper cables from the device within 10 seconds after the engine has been successfully started to prevent damage to the device and/or the car battery.
Questions & AnswersAsk a Question
How long will my Portable Car Jump Starter remain charged when not in use?
6-12 months, however, we suggest to recharge it every 3 months, to ensure optimal performance.

Effect of the Herbal Mixture MAK-4 on Organ Functions in Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic (WHHL) Rabbits.
Biochemical Archives, Vol. 13, pp. 285-296, 1997.
Jae Y. Lee, John A. Lott, Ellen M. Kauffman, and Hari M. Sharma.
Conducted at
Department of Pathology, College of Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210
This study assessed the organ-protective effects of MAK-4 which was fed to Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits. The control group (n = 5) was fed normal rabbit chow and the experimental group (n = 6) was fed 6% (w/w) MAK-4-supplemented chow, for 6 months. Blood specimens were drawn from the ear vein at the start of the experiment before MAK-4 was given, and after 2, 4, and 6 months of MAK-4 ingestion. Twenty-four-hour urines were collected between the 25th and 26th week. Various biochemical parameters were assessed, including tests for liver function, kidney function, pancreatic function, enzymes, and other tests for tissue damage. Results showed that albumin, fibrinogen, and total protein were significantly higher (p <0.05) in the MAK-4 group compared to the control group. Gamma glutamyl transferase, creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MM isoenzyme, and lipid peroxide were significantly decreased in the MAK-4-treated group as compared to the controls. Creatinine, urine inorganic phosphorus, urine uric acid, urine amylase, and urine glucose were significantly lower (p <0.05) in the MAK-4 group compared activity, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and superoxide dismutase were significantly increased (p <0.05) in the MAK-4 group compared to the controls. These findings suggest prevention of organ damage in the MAK-4-supplemented rabbits. The mechanism of action may be prevention of lipid and protein oxidation by MAK-4.
Please Note
MAK-4 is now called Amrit Kalash Nectar.

Avian and nature-inspired bags and fabric creations
My name is Wendy, and I live in rural western Massachusetts. I am self-taught quilter, and have completed 6 full and queen size quilts, mostly hand-quilted.
In the 40-plus years that I have been sewing, I once calculated that I have logged over 20,000 hours of sewing time, and the ever-expanding fabric stash is taking over the house! My Bags of a Feather shop offers a wide variety of fabric creations, including zipper pouches, anti-tarnish lined jewelry pouches, coasters, and wristlets.
My inspiration comes from the birds and natural world around us, and I love working with colorful prints and batik fabrics. I have over 200 bird-themed fabrics in my collection. We share our home in the foothills of the Berkshires with 4 parrots, including a budgie and Blue & Gold Macaw.
All fabric creations are designed, created, sewn, and finished completely by me, and are 100% handmade.

1. Sloths are not known for being particularly speedy on the ground.
They get around on dry land by dragging themselves along the ground with their front claws.
2. But in the water all that changes.
3. Sometimes sloths fall directly from trees into rivers.
What with this and rainforest floods, swimming is a useful ability for sloths to have.
4. But their long arms mean paddling through the water is no problem at all.
BBC / youtube.com
5. Look at it go!
BBC / youtube.com
6. In fact, fossil evidence suggests there was once a species of giant aquatic sloths that were adapted for life in the water.
7. Not everyone knows that sloths are very capable swimmers. Sometimes people try to "rescue" sloths and put them back on dry land.
All this means is that the sloths have to make the long journey back to where you picked them up by land, which they're not quite so good at.
8. So if you ever see a sloth in water, leave it alone to follow its dreams.

Packers' Greene: 'You want to hunt and hunt and keep hunting'
Green Bay --- The fine is in. Outside linebacker Clay Matthews was docked $15,000 for his late hit on San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick last weekend.
The entertaining banter is over.
No, Matthews' position coach doesn't have any final thoughts for Jim Harbaugh's comments.
"That really, honestly, goes in one ear and out the other," outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene said. "And that's the way I approach it. I try to turn every chapter. Once that game's over, I try to change that chapter and turn the page. ...It's a non-factor really."
The hit, the aftermath and the overall bad blood emanating from Green Bay's game at San Francisco does suggest a larger theme. Afterward, players weren't exactly apologizing for anything. Through the 34-28 'Niners win, there was a lot of talking, a lot of lines crossed and many other perfectly legal hits. Moving forward, the Packers are searching for the fine line.
Taking Matthews' lead, they're trying to set a tone for the season.
Because overall, Greene and the Packers were thrilled with the energy Matthews brought to San Francisco.
"I just hope all my kids play at that intense level," Greene said. "When I put a player out there, no matter who it is, he wants to play with his heart and play with that fire in his heart, the love for the game, the love for his brothers, the love for his team, his organization. And then let the chips fall where they may. Of course, we want to be smart. Daggone. But I want them to be amped up and play with intensity. Every defensive coach wants their kids to do that."
Greene said that Matthews' late hit on Kaepernick was "obviously a mistake" and that the Packers have moved on.
The coaching won't change. A high-energy player himself in the 90's --- after all, he did have a brief wrestling career --- Greene says he's "coaching one way."
"And generally speaking, you get what you emphasize as a coach," Greene said. "I'm coaching, hey, you play with your heart and all your drive and desire and determination and fire play after play after play after play and never let up. You want to hunt and hunt and keep hunting. And that's what I'm hoping to get from all my kids."
So on to Washington. Schematically, the challenge for Green Bay's linebackers this week, as discussed in our podcast, is very similar to last week. They're facing a true dual-threat weapon.
A pass rush is important. It's always "at the top of the game plan," Greene said. The Philadelphia Eagles effectively rattled Griffin early on with blitzes. But also against a quarterback like Griffin, edge rushers need to be careful not to widen their rush. That can create a open highway for Griffin to scramble. Not ideal.
This is the same predicament Greene faced himself as a pass rusher against the likes of Randall Cunningham and Steve Young.
"Therein lies that fine line," Greene said. "He is a mobile quarterback and he can hurt you with his legs. But you do want to get some pressure on the quarterback so you have to gauge and have awareness when some of those gaps are getting too big and you have to be able to come back and cover your lane."
And they'll try to keep the intensity up, too.
"We want to play amped up and with an edge and aggressive," Greene said. "That's the way defense is supposed to be played."

If you were to have blinked anytime in the past year, you might have missed the arrival (re-arrival?) of QR Codes in the United States. Just look around and you'll see that QR codes are literally popping up everywhere. They're in magazines, on posters and stickers, on business cards, inside store front windows, hidden in books, and prominently displayed on signage all across the country. But why? Why now? Have QR codes truly arrived into the mainstream for good or are they merely another passing fad?
Digital meets the real world
Quick Response codes (aka QR codes) may be relatively new to the states, but they've been around just about as long as public internet access. QR codes have been present in Asia for over a decade and have only recently soared in popularity, in part due to the increasing adoption of smartphones. Most camera equipped phones with Wi-Fi access are capable of downloading a QR code scanner and picking up data from a QR codes is as simple as pointing a phone at the 2D black and white image and snapping a picture. Text, audio, images, or a website URL are almost instantly received.
Are QR codes actually being used?
Everyone from small business to ad agencies are trying to crack the secret on how to best use QR codes for marketing, but the truth is that many people are still clueless as to what a QR code actually is. We also need to take into account the fact that the majority of us still don't own a smartphone. It's worth mentioning though that QR codes do end up getting noticed. A recent study says that 72% of those with smartphones are likely to recall an ad with a QR code in it, although only 32% have ever scanned a QR code.
Marketing purposes
QR codes are everywhere, but only a small portion of the crowd is actually scanning them.
It's good news for early adopters, but bad news for those of us who are trying to get the most out of advertising budgets and space. Fortunately for the willing, QR codes are relatively easy to get in front of the public. Creating an in-store display ad is relatively easy and should have a low investment cost and a potentially high return. Before getting overly ambitious keep in mind that some of the best examples are those in which QR codes are just one aspect of an advertisement and not forced upon us.
For creating QR codes, I recommend checking out SPARQCode, a useful resource that includes free analytics.

On the Political Determinants of Intergovernmental Grants in Decentralized Countries: The Case of Spain
This paper studies the effect of political variables on the gains obtained by Spanish regions in periodical bargaining of the intergovernmental financing agreements and on the regional distribution of discretional earmarked grants over the period 1987-2008. First, we find that the relationship between gains in transferred revenues and on regional public debt stocks depends on the period and the specific issues discussed in the corresponding negotiation, aside from political affinity. Second, we show that the most discretional program of earmarked grants is strongly driven by electoral strategy. National incumbents tend to allocate intergovernmental transfers where there are competitive regional elections. Moreover, we show that earmarked grants are allocated in those regions where the incumbent performs better in national elections and, especially, in those where there are more seats to be won. Hence we prove that both strategies are complementary rather than exclusive.

Project Budget$3000 - $5000 USD
Completed In45 days
Total Bids49
Project Description
We require an internal Business Process Management system to be developed. It will need to be browser based, generate pdf files and emails from templates. Our main goal is to simplify our order fulfillment process so that all staff can track what stage jobs are at.
The full list of various job stages can be found later in the document and you will see that a number of stages are just for reporting purposes, while other stages will have entire sections of the site dedicated to them.
We want to improve efficiency by being able to generate reports for jobs based on their current stage, reminder notices to follow up clients and suppliers and have management properly evaluate performance of staff.
We order stock from a large range of suppliers, 50+, and will add to this as the business grows, so the system needs to adapt to that. Each item we order requires input from up to 2 different suppliers before it can be delivered to the client. The first supplier supplys the item only while the second supplier offers a range of services to decorate the item.
Each decorate supplier will have their own cost table, with a range of options that apply to different types of items.
While we want the system to automate a lot of these processes, it also needs to be flexible enough to allow the user to make changes to the automatic responses from the system. Work flow will also need to be able to go 2 ways, allowing for jobs to move backwards to a previous stage.
The system should also have the capability to email alerts to associated staff for that item. Eg; if a support staff changes the stage from 'waiting for artwork' to 'artwork complete' the system should email the sales staff for that item.
We also envisage building on the system down the line, adding a CRM module, a quoting/proposal module, etc. So the system needs to be able to handle these additions easily.
The layout and design of the system is VERY important, so your bid should included examples of work you have done.
Main goal of the system:
To allow staff to create, send and track orders to clients and purchase orders to suppliers at any stage of the production process.
Bid with the following information:

• Time frame
• Sample projects (screen shots or a working link)

text: Caribbean Senator urges rule changes so U.S. hotels can operate in Cuba By Danny King / March 08, 2016 Share 1 -- U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on Tuesday published an open letter to Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew urging the federal government to amend regulations to legally allow for U.S. hotel operators to build hotels in Cuba."As diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba continue to progress, there are increasing opportunities to do business and improve economic opportunities and the quality of life in Cuba," Klobuchar wrote. "I strongly believe that continuing to isolate Cuba will be contrary to our interests and disadvantage American businesses and farmers. Removing regulatory barriers and ensuring that the U.S. hospitality industry has a fair shot in Cuba is another way that we can continue to make progress towards officially ending the embargo."Klobuchar is pushing for the federal government to allow the U.S. lodging sector to capitalize on the normalization of relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Last month, the U.S. and Cuba signed an agreement that will enable the reestablishment of direct commercial flights between the two countries for the first time in more than five decades. U.S. airlines have filed their applications to the Department of Transportation.Lodging exposure among U.S. companies has been limited to peer-to-peer accommodations service Airbnb, which last spring started allowing Cubans to list their properties. Airbnb has more than 2,000 Cuba properties on its site.Among international hotel companies, Spain-based Melia Hotels International has 28 hotels in Cuba. Paris-based AccorHotels has two.

3 reviews of Tony Angello's , first by Courtie_D.
Like a scene straight out of Soprano's...
If Tony had opened his own restaurant on The Soprano's, rather than Artie…this would be the place. My father took me here on our "date" for my birthday every year when I was a little girl. A special place for my big night out. Now my husband takes me here for my birthday every year. This place has become one of our places for special occassions. I was heartbroken after Katrina knowing that such a local landmark and special place for so many people was gone. I am so glad they rebuilt and came back.

In my career as a software engineer, my job is always more a process of finding a particular solution in a particular context to solve a particular problem. Easy enough, right? Just have to have the right tools and the right parts to get from point A to point B.
Well, you don't always have an easy time finding the right tools or the right parts. That's why I'm always on the lookout for books that can provide not only a set of tools I can use, but also describes the context in which a particular tool should be used.
Algorithms are just one more tool in the toolbox for software engineers and people in other disciplines who write computer programs. The definition of an algorithm is simply a set of rules for solving a problem in a number of steps. When you were in school, teachers used algorithms (covertly or not) to provide a framework for solving problems in math, science, and even English.
In Algorithms in a Nutshell from O'Reilly, George T. Heineman, Gary Pollice, and Stanley Selkow provide not only a range of algorithms to choose from, but a methodology for finding the right one and testing it once you have it implemented.
In Part I, the authors explain why algorithms matter, ways to rate how a particular algorithm works in a particular context, and how to use patterns, languages, and algorithms together to solve a particular domain specific problem. Though the math in some cases was far above my head, readers with a firm grasp of statistics will have a better idea how to use some of the techniques and formulas to better apply these tools to their own problem domains.
Part II walks through six chapters describing six different categories of algorithms:
- Sorting
- Searching
- Graphing
- Path Finding
- Mapping Network Flow
- and Computational Geometry
Many of these algorithms have been around for a long time, such as the Quicksort, Bucket Sort, Binary and Binary Tree Search. But many others were quite new to me, such as the Graphing algorithm "All Pairs Shortest Path." Having never really needed path finding, network flow, or computational geometry algorithms, they were all new and interesting to me, but without an application to apply them to went over my head.
Part III provides two chapters to help when you've exhausted the other algorithms but still haven't quite found "the one."
"When All Else Fails" provides ways to vary your approach and perhaps use a conglomeration of approaches to achieve results when a single algorithm might not work.
And in the "Epilogue" the authors provide a great set of principles to help guide selecting an appropriate algorithm.
- Know Your Data
- Decompose the Problem into Smaller Problems
- Choose the Right Data Structure
- Add Storage to Increase Performance
- If No Solution is Evident, Construct a Search
- or If No Solution is Evident, Reduce Your Problem to Another Problem that Has a Solution
- and Writing Algorithms is Hard – Testing Algorithms is Harder
Personally, I think this chapter should have been in the first part of the book. It gets to the heart of the matter quickly and succinctly, providing a simple set of guiding principles to help find the right solution.
Overall, this is a great book for developers looking for more tools in their arsenals. As you might suspect, this is not really a book to read cover to cover unless it's for a class. But it provides a clear and well laid out approach to some of the many algorithms that exist today in computer programming. It isn't an exhaustive list, but it certainly provides a great cross-section from which you could continue your search.
I, for one, am happy this book is now on my shelf beside some of my other computer science references on data structures and design patterns. It's a welcome addition to my box of tools.

The Theory of Allocation and Its Implications for Marketing and Industrial Structure
This paper identifies a cost of using the price system and from that develops a general theory of allocation. The theory explains why a buyer's stochastic purchasing behavior matters to a seller. This leads to a theory of optimal customer mix much akin to the theory of optimal portfolio composition. It is the job of a firm's marketing department to put together this optimal customer mix. A dynamic pattern of pricing related to Ramsey pricing emerges as the efficient pricing structure. Price no longer equals marginal cost and is no longer the sole mechanism used to allocate goods. It is optimal for long term relationships to emerge between buyers and sellers and for sellers to use their knowledge about buyers to ration goods during periods when demand is high. This rationing cam take the form of refusing to sell to new customers and putting established customers on quotas. The evidence shows that this form of rationing, though foreign to the thinking of most economists, characterizes several industries. The theory provides an important incentive for a firm to exist, namely to facilitate trade amongst its customers. The theory also provides a convincing explanation f or the hostility that new futures markets face from established firms in the industry and shows that several practices, like price differences amongst consumers and swapping product with rivals, can be the result of competition and not market power.

The Best of Birmingham
There are several reasons to believe you may not like Birmingham, Alabama's largest city. When it was founded in 1871 it was named not after somewhere romantic like Florence or Paris but after the English industrial city of Birmingham. That's because Birmingham, Alabama, was a steel town and, at the time, equally industrial.

There are memoirs that inspire and there are memoirs that are inspired. Gillies's exceptional, award-winning account of caring for her ailing mother-in-law fits squarely into both categories. It is said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." This is usually quoted in reference to a soldier putting himself or herself at risk so that another may live. What of a woman who sets aside her own life (and career) so that her mother-in-law with Alzheimer's disease might have the kind of loving care only a family member can provide?
That is precisely what Gillies does. What's more, the elder woman's physically impaired husband comes along as part of the bargain. As if the care of her in-laws and her own three children were not enough, professional journalist Gillies - whose sanity one might legitimately question at this point decides to ...

This is very insightful and I enjoyed reading it a lot. I ponder on the topic of love as well, quite often actually. I haven't really figured it out myself, but I think that you are right. Love is whatever you take it for. And no one can change your version of love. Keep writing things like this, they're very interesting to read. =)
Thank you! :) I was worried about posting this because i think my style of writing is weird and sometimes unappealing. But i'm glad you like it! I write about love when i get writer's block because it's easy to write about, since it's so confusing.
Much love,

Despite hostels being a great place to learn, work & live, their potential has always been underutilized. At Aarusha, we believe one way to really unleash the joy and power of living with peers in a community is to turn it into a home with all the benefits, liberties, comforts and conveniences that come with it.
We have been reimagining over 20 hostels in 4 cities.
North & south Indian breakfast, lunch & dinner prepared with fresh ingredients sourced locally and cooked in hygienic kitchens.
Sleep sound. Wake refreshed. We provide daily housekeeping to keep your bed, room and the overall place neat & tidy.
Pro-active, responsive & friendly staff to make your stay as comfortable, enjoyable & memorable as we can. Over 45000 customers served.
Hostels as spacious as homes. From our rooms to common areas, we give you ample space to live & play with your peers.
Safe neighbourhoods with 24/7 security because safety matters when you stay away from home & family.
Make friends for life. We organize regular events to foster a close knit community of like-minded students & professionals. Over 60% of customers come through referrals.
TV. Wi-fi. AC. Refrigerator. Washing machine. And much more. We provide all modern amenities at cost-effective rates. The average stay at a Aarusha Home is 8 months.
Stay in localities that are closer to IT parks & college campuses as well as malls, hospitals, restaurants & petrol bunks. Which is possibly why 30% are repeat customers.
Our PGs offer easy access to all major parts of the cities we are present in which helps you cut down commuting time.
Affordable rates plus just 1 month deposit to help outstation students & professionals make the most of their stay.
"My stay in Aarusha has been in two phases. I made lots of good friends here which didn't allow me to feel homesick. More importantly, the quick turn around to all our queries/complaints have resulted in the improvement of the food quality and Wi-Fi.This is the reason that when I returned to Pune, I didn't have the slightest hesitation to be back in Aarusha Homes."
– Sutirtha Bandyopadhyay
Vikramshila, Pune
"I've been staying in Aarusha homes for almost a year.
I find staying in Aarusha pleasant and comfortable.
All of my queries and complaints are attended to with great speed and in a supportive manner. I would surely recommend others to stay in Aarusha."
– Siddharth Patel
Vikramshila, Pune
"I must have changed almost 9-10 PG's till now, but my experience in staying at 'Aarusha Homes' is always vivid. Perfectly located, neat, safe and better convenience options available, what else would you require!! If I get a chance, I would really join them again."
– Prachi Shukla
Tippasandra, Bangalore
"Aarusha Homes is home away from home for people like us. The services provided here are commendable, be it cleanliness of the rooms on daily basis, addressing complaints or high speed Internet facilities. "
– Adhip
Vikramshila, Pune
"I am residing in this PG for the past 11 months. This was the first PG which I saw in this area and I immediately liked it and booked it. The reason was the cleanliness, location and good ventilation compared to other hostels. Apart from a little house cleaning issue sometimes, we rarely face any difficulties."

Best Idea From the UN Summit: A Green WTO
With the Copenhagen climate conference just around the corner, China's commitment to cap its carbon intensity and Obama's lack of firm commitments dominated most of the environmental headlines from the UN summit this week. So most observers missed a promising idea floated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy: an environmental counterweight to the World Trade Organization.
"Let us create a single World Environment Organization in Copenhagen," Sarkozy said during his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. The French president used his turn at the podium to champion an idea he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel had laid out for Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in the days leading up to the summit. A letter from the duo explained that after a climate agreement emerges from Copenhagen "a new institutional architecture will need to be set up to foster the development of international environmental law. Environmental governance must be overhauled." The letter concludes: "We must make use of the momentum provided by Copenhagen to make further progress towards the creation of a World Environmental Organization."
Speaking with the French quarterly Politique Internationale in 2007, Sarkozy went so far as to suggest that the proposed body "could in particular be a counterweight to the WTO, which has a tendency to neglect environmental problems."
In the past, critics have responded to calls from politicians and academics for a World Environmental Organization by pointing out that we already have one, namely the UN Environment Programme. However, some experts, such as Edward Gresser of the Democratic Leadership Council, firmly dismiss this response. Gresser describes the UNEP as a "visibly second-tier structure" that lacks an "effective way to mediate or solve disputes over the agreements under its jurisdiction."
Writing in the most recent issue of Democracy Journal (sub. req.), Gresser advocates for a Global Environmental Organization similar to Sarkozy's proposed WEO. He argues that without a strong WTO-like organization that has a robust dispute mechanism, the Copenhagen agreement "could eventually lead to the worst case outcome: a combination of economically destructive trade conflicts with little actual reduction in emissions." Under his proposal, environmental disputes would be settled by panels weighing "both scientific and legal expertise" and, crucially if such a body is ever to have a chance with nationalistic politicians, "remedies could include compensatory sanctions."
While the green WTO proposed by Sarkozy and fleshed out by Gresser is certainly an appealing idea, the difficult economic and political realities imperiling the Copenhagen summit make it unlikely that such an ambitious organization could be created before the climate change agreement—assuming there is one—comes into effect in 2012. That said, the WTO provides another hopeful example. The powerful international organization grew out of the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade after the US Congress rejected the WTO-like International Trade Organization in the late 1940s.
Regardless of what happens at Copenhagen, it bodes well for the future that world leaders are seriously discussing such an ambitious idea. As Gresser hopefully concludes, "if it all works out as it should, the citizens of a cleaner and healthier world, sometime in the 2070s, will be complaining about the [World Environmental Organization], occasionally criticizing it as domineering or ineffectual—as it quietly improves the quality of their lives."

Korea is not without its domestic automobiles that would be suitable for transporting a visiting head of state: the Hyundai Equus comes to mind. Failing that, a Genesis sedan would do the trick. Maybe even a Kia K900 or a Renault Samsung SM7. But those familiar with Pope Francis and his taste in transportation won't be surprised that His Holiness has chosen something decidedly more modest for his visit to South Korea.

My Nepenthe by Romney Steele, includes recipes from the Big Sur restaurant like Marinated Fresh Monterey Sardines; Rosemary Lamb Brochettes with Mint Pesto; Wine Poached Quince with Rosemary; and Herb-Stuffed Pork Loin Roast with Wine Poached Quince.
Serves 4 to 6
When I was growing up, Nepenthe served sardine sandwiches made with imported canned sardines, a luxury item then, on thin slices of black bread with mayonnaise and leafy, green lettuce, along with a wedge of lemon and a thick slice of purple onion. I remember sneaking the sardine tins from the dry storage, peeling back the shiny lids with a church key, and then fingering out the oily fish, eating the delicate fillets with saltine crackers. Nepenthe's sardine sandwich had a cult following but drifted off the menu in the early '70s.
Monterey was once known for its canned sardine industry and the health of its fishery, before it went under in the late 1950s. Today, Pacific sardine stocks are flourishing again, and the small, oily fish are making a comeback on the culinary scene. I like to purchase fresh whole sardines and marinate them with a touch of citrus and garlic, like ceviche. Layer slices on toasted baguette or German-style bread with a little Garlic Basil Aioli (page 276 of the book) or mayonnaise, then top with a few leaves of arugula or mâche and a thin slice of lemon for a dressed-up version of how we served it at Nepenthe long ago.
Place the sardines in a nonreactive shallow dish with the garlic and lemon slices. Stem the thyme and scatter over the fish with the parsley. Cover with the oil. Grind some fresh pepper over the top and drizzle with the vinegar. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day, occasionally turning the sardines over so that they marinate evenly.

Hi all, best wishes for 2002.
I wish to get a list of some of the best, medium sized leaf, hostas
to add this spring. "The grass will go!" I want plants that end up 2
to 3 feet wide.
I am planning on 10 to 20 clumps (several plants each if needed) and
am thinking of adding some "Black leaf hostas" as well.
I want to take advantage of the spring discounts for early ordering.
Spent the weekend drafting the front yard garden layout and laying
out the borders on paper.
Thanks for any ideas. I know its a matter of "taste" but the group is
"expert advice".
Jim Sherwood, Chicago area, firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is some text that I got from Hallson gardens.
"Hi Jim,
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the newsletter. The pardancanda would be
great for a rock garden, provided they get mostly sun.(I have a sunny
spot, Jim) I'm not sure if you would have that in a hosta garden.
The clumps usually send up 3 to 5 flower stalks. We usually need to
trim the roots to fit them into a nursery gallon. If planted in the
spring you would probably get even more blooms than that by summer. I
would plant them 12 to 18" apart. 3 to 5 plants would make a big
clump. They should be divided every couple years to keep them
vigorous. If the area gets too wet in the winter they can struggle,
so good drainage is important. (I think of all these things AFTER
sending out the newsletter).
As for the hosta question, that sounds like a good question for the
hosta forum. Medium (leaf, jim) is a tough one to judge since they
will all be large eventually. If I had to make the list off the top
of my head? I would start with Minuteman, Paul's Glory, tokudama
'Flavocircinalis', Black Hills, Shade Fanfare, Bright Lights.... I'm
sure others could give you even more on the forum. Here is the link
if you still need it:
One of the members is even putting together a survey of just about
every size and leaf color combination right now. He hopes to have the
results but the end of the winter.
As for the Black hostas, they are simply very dark green. And I've
heard that the more magnesium they get, the darker they will be.
Black Hills can get quite dark under the right growing conditions,
but I also like it for the very thick, corrugated leaves. Lakeside
Black Satin is almost identical to Hosta ventricosa but somewhat
darker under some growing conditions.
Most people find it to be identical to ventricosa in normal garden
Potomac Pride is another one that has very, very dark leaves and is
well worth growing.
For foxglove, we won't be selling them by mail order. The roots are
very fine and would need to be shipped as potted plants. We only ship
bare root.
(I have a quantity of amber foxgloves (With dark specs) and have
found they transplant well and take misuse easly. I am looking for a
source of adult potted plants for mass planting)
But they are really easy to grow from seed and will self seed like
Just scatter the seeds into a growing area and transplant them to the
garden, or start them right in the garden. Don't cover the seeds or
they won't germinate.
Well, I hope that helps. If you have any other questions let me know!

text: I heard the other day that the L85A2 is only a stop gap measure until they get the new weapons ready for general issue. They moved all the pattern room weapons to Leeds and are just waiting for the Imperial War Museum to move theirs up there too and will refurbish and issue to the TA first (they are really important you know : ) followed by the cadets and finally the regular army. Put me down for a sten gun please. This is only happening though because Sierra Leone refused to sell/swap the old SLR's back too us.
