Russia and China Resist Korea Penalty
President Bush called the leaders of Russia and China today to seek a unified response to North Korea's test-firing of missiles, but both countries continued to dismiss the possibility of imposing the sanctions the United States wants.
North Korea also threatened to launch still more missiles while warning of "stronger physical actions" if sanctions are imposed on it.
In Moscow, President Vladimir V. Putin today called for steps that would allow for "reaching a compromise" with North Korea, Reuters reported.
During an Internet question-and-answer session that was broadcast on Russian state television, Mr. Putin said he was "disappointed" that North Korea had conducted the test-firings involving seven missiles launched on Wednesday. But he also said that Pyongyang was "right" when it said it had the legal right to do so.
The Chinese government again dismissed the idea of sanctions today, saying that China and North Korea remained "friendly neighbors," and it called for diplomacy as the best way to alleviate the tensions.
A Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Jiang Yu, voiced "serious concerns" about the North Korean missile tests. But when asked if China would cut back on aid to its neighbor because of the tests, Ms. Jiang said, "At present we are not taking this aspect into consideration."
The United Nations Security Council prepared to meet for a second day today to discuss the missile issue, with China and Russia opposing a resolution drafted by Japan and backed by the United States that called for sanctions against North Korea.
The United States ambassador to the United Nations, John R. Bolton, said before the meeting today that countries that have "leverage" with North Korea "bear the responsibility to use that."
But the White House spokesman, Tony Snow, today played down the idea of a rift over how to respond.
He also warned against expecting a rapid agreement on how to proceed. "This is not like a sitcom, it doesn't wrap up in 30 minutes and come to a neat, happy conclusion," he told reporters, according to The Associated Press. R. Nicholas Burns, the under secretary of state for political affairs, said today that he expected that China would feel the need to take strong action to rebuke its ally in Pyongyang.
"What's meaningful here is what governments say privately, as well as in public," Mr. Burns told CNN. "The Chinese have given us every indication that they will stand with us."
Mr. Burns also suggested that it might be possible to find ways to punish Pyongyang without a Security Council vote. "Countries have to take individual action as well as collective action," Mr. Burns said.
China did announce today that it would send its chief negotiator with North Korea, Deputy Foreign Minister Wu Dawei, to Pyongyang for talks July 10-15. Mr. Wu is scheduled to meet on Friday in Beijing with an American assistant secretary of state, Christopher Hill, who represented the United States at the stalled six-nation talks on North Korea's nuclear programs.
"Practice tells us dialogue and consultation are effective ways to solve problems," Ms. Yu said, reconfirming China's long-standing policy.
North Korea issued a statement today saying that Washington's rejection of direct talks and financial pressure made it more determined to increase its missile capabilities, and insisting that it had a legal right to test missiles. The statement also responded to American claims that the test of the largest missile, the Taepodong 2, was a failure because the flight lasted only 42 second.
"Our successful missile tests were part of a regular military exercise conducted by our military to boost our self-defense," a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman told the North's official news agency, KCNA.
"Our military will continue with missile launch drills in the future as part of efforts to strengthen self-defense deterrent," the spokesman said. "If anyone intends to dispute or add pressure about this, we will have to take stronger physical actions in other forms."
He did not elaborate. But Han Song Ryol, deputy chief of North Korea's mission to the United Nations in New York, also told the Japanese broadcaster TBS that the North would take "all-out countermeasures if sanctions are exercised."
The Communist regime is given to making dramatic statements to increase its leverage in negotiations. But it also has a history of provocative actions, like the missile tests on Wednesday.
Analysts said North Korea may try to launch another Taepodong 2 intercontinental missile, which is theoretically capable of hitting Alaska. "There is a possibility that North Korea will fire additional missiles, based on our intelligence and assessments of the traffic of equipment and personnel in and out of launch sites," Defense Minister Yoon Kwang Ung of South Korea told a parliamentary hearing.
Experts say it takes days, if not weeks, to transport, mount and fuel a Taepodong 2 for a test launching. Officials both in Seoul and in Tokyo reported no immediate signs of another Taepodong test. But they said North Korea may fire more short- and medium-range missiles.
Major South Korean newspapers reported today that North Korea has three or four more intermediate-range missiles on launch pads. The mass-circulation daily Chosun Ilbo said the North had barred fishermen from sailing into some areas off the coast until July 11, a possible sign that it may fire more missiles.
Even if the Taepodong 2 launch was a failure, the successful tests of other models will strengthen the market value of North Korean missiles among its clients in the Middle East, experts and officials have said.
Both Japan and South Korea fall well within range of North Korean missiles. But their reactions varied widely.
Tokyo responded swiftly by barring North Korean officials from entering Japan, and banned one of its trading vessels from Japanese ports for six months.
South Korea only indicated that it would take some sanctions, such as a reduction in food aid. But like China, it stressed that diplomacy, not pressure, was the best way to solve the crisis.
The South Korean unification minister, Lee Jong Seok, told the National Assembly today that cabinet-level meetings between the two Koreas, scheduled for next week, should go ahead, and that Seoul would press ahead with inter-Korean economic joint ventures.
John O'Neil reported from New York for this article, and Choe Sang-Hungfrom Seoul.

What helps you to remember? I think that for me, when words fail, art can find expression for feelings that have no words. Perhaps art is especially good for remembering…
I visited the studio of Lorcan Walshe recently. A few years ago he had an exhibition entitled "The Artefacts Project" in the National Museum of Ireland which was a re-examining of objects from the early medieval period – Christian treasures such as the Clonmacnoise Crozier, the Tully Lough Cross and St. Patrick's bell. This was a really important exhibition, in my opinion, the first serious attempt by a contemporary artist to investigate and re- present elements of our indigenous visual culture and to explore how these fragments from the past could be made visible and relevant for today. (I'm afraid to say that ancient "Celtic" craftsmanship is generally scorned and dismissed by the contemporary Irish art world – a post-colonial inferiority complex, perhaps) But Walshe intuitively understands its value and its significance. To quote Mark Patrick Hederman, Abbot of Glenstal Abbey, who writes in the exhibition catalogue:
From Newgrange onwards there emerges a visible acknowledgement of the numinous or the divine which is embedded in these remaining artefacts. Such an idea is now completely out of fashion in art. The function of a poet or an artist in former times was not to give a society explanations or directions, but rather a sense of the underlying power which fuels existence.
It was a great privilege for me to visit Lorcan and to see his work-in-progress and I was delighted that he agreed to take part in "HX Perspectives", a group show that I was curating for the Harold's Cross Community Festival. More about that at www.haroldscross.org and see Lorcan's website at: www.lorcanwalshe.com
We were having this show in a cemetery. Maybe not a normal place for an art exhibition but cemeteries have so much atmosphere, so many associations, so many ghosts… and the work was quite haunting. The artists included were Joe Hanly, Kevin McSherry, Paul O'Hare, Cora O'Brien, Lorcan Walshe and myself – all from the Harold's Cross district.
And Mount Jerome Cemetery is quite special. Originally the Mount Jerome Estate, the mansion was built there in the early 1700s and it became a regular meeting place for the United Irishmen, a revolutionary organisation founded by Wolfe Tone. Tone was a prominent supporter of Catholic Emancipation and is regarded as the father of Irish republicanism. He organised the ill-fated rebellion of 1798. The lands became a cemetery in 1836. There are many graves of historical importance here including the Irish patriot Thomas Davis, artists Jack B. Yeats and AE Russell, the playwright John Millington Synge and the mathematician Sir William Rowan Hamilton.
So I hope that our work added something to the august atmosphere of the graveyard. As for myself, I installed three of my Tinteán Tréigthe/ Empty Hearth series. Elegies, in a way, for those who have gone before us.
What do you think? – Was it a strange place to exhibit our work? Would you think that the art made a difference, there? I'd love to hear your views…

Great Moments in Boot-Licking Toadyism
Rep. Laura Richardson: "He [Fidel Castro] listened. He said the exact same thing as President Obama said."
Rep. Barbara Lee: "It was quite a moment to behold [i.e., meeting Castro]"
Rep. Bobby Rush: "It was almost a religious experience. When I bent down to kiss Fidel's ass, I could see an image of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright in the crinkles of cellulite. I can now say that I know with certainty what the odor of sanctity smells like."
Ok, I made up that last one. But it's not all that implausible.

As a non American, I think the embargo is pretty pointless and morally dubious (there are worse regimes the US is happy to do business with), but what I've never understood is the need to deify Castro who is a third world thug with quite a lot of blood on his hands and an oddly good reputation. Isn't there anyone in America who would be happy to see the embargo lifted but without regarding the Cuban regime as an early rehearsal for the second comming? Cigar smokers perhaps as they do tend to be a sensible lot.

cac: I believe the greater pressure being put on Cuba (than on other repugnant regimes) stems from several factors, including the confiscation without compensation of assets owned by U.S. investors, the brutality of the regime toward its own people (many of whom fled - and continue to flee - to the U.S.), and (perhaps most significantly) the willingness of Castro to let the Soviets attempt to install nuclear missiles on Cuban soil. This last, particularly, made Cuba an outlaw state in the view of successive American governments. There is also the argument that lifting the embargo without concrete changes in the attitude of the Castros toward the freedom of its citizens will strengthen the economic position of the regime (which survived for decades on the largesse of the old Soviet Union). Finally, Communist Cuba attempted for decades to export revolution to other countries in the western hemisphere. Fidel has simply never been truly amenable to reestablishing more or less healthy relations with the U.S.; the depth of his pathological hatred for the U.S. cannot be discounted.

Australia's leftist government is considering sanctions against Fiji which yesterday declared (another) military coups.
Yet Australia happily does business with many regimes far worse than the Fiji military.
Clearly there is more to foreign relations than a simple scale of better to worse human rights record.
Proximity is clearly a major issue. As is the goal of the action. Embargo or trade, the moral goal is bringing about a change.
Australia knows if we pressure Fiji with trade sanctions we could force a return to democracy. That still remains a possibility in Cuba, especially after Fidel dies. To give in now may continue the oppression of Cuban people for decades.
Really, does any nation use foreign policy simply to punish baddies and reward goodies?
- April 11, 2009 at 9:09 PM
- RebeccaH said...
cac: There is still the small matter that Cuba is only ninety miles away from the continental US, and the Cuban government (embodied in the cult leader, Castro) has never exhibited anything but hostility to everything that defines us. So you must excuse us for being cautious, perhaps even a little paranoid, especially since those heady days when Cuban soil hosted Soviet missiles aimed at us.
- April 11, 2009 at 9:35 PM
I'm afraid I remain unconvinced.
Still, I will join y'all in a toast when the regime finally topples.
I suspect there are regimes more inimical to US interest that don't have the same sort of sanctions - North Korea step on down - and a certainly many orders of magnitude worse - North Korea wins again!
It also seems quite likely that it helps the brothers Castro to be able to say that life would be wonderful if it wasn't for those damn yankees with their sanctions.
But if you think it's justified and worthwhile, why not do it properly? Stop all travel by US citizens to Cuba and all remittances and even blockade the place. At the moment they are easy enough to evade as the visit by this toadying crowd shows.
I trust in the meantime this difference of opinion won't jeopardise the hospitality I have always founds at Paco Manor [stops writing as neck is gripped by powerful hand and is hurled bodily onto the pavement ...]

Sorry I missed it.
Getting into weighty foreign policy issues here, but I do agree with your basic point which I take to be that you might well undertake sanctions against a not very nice regime while having full relations with an evil one and Fiji might well be a case in point.
In this case though the sanctions are presumbly targeted and highly specific - restore civilian government and we will lift them. It's these sort of instances where sanctions have historically been the most successful. The alternative of we don't like you and will show such by general boycotts has been much less so and in fact I'm not sure non targeted sanctions have ever worked, not least because the lack of clarity as to ends makes it quite hard to work out when success has been attained.
I'm not sure there are any specific conditions in the case of Cuba, as our good host and others have pointed out there are a whole swag of reasons underlying US policy towards Cuba. I may be mistaken but I don't believe the US Govt ever said you do specific thing X and we will allow free travel by US citizens or some other lifting of an irritant. I get the impression that nothing short of full scale regime change will lead to the embargo being lifted. Nothing wrong with this as a policy but these sort of ends have historically been delivered by war or blockade and if that's what you really want then that's presumably the way to go.
As I said previously, I look forward to toasting the demise of the brothers Castro in due course, I'm just not in any way convinced the current regime advances this in any way.

If fat loss is what you seek in Ramadan, find then lets commence Project: Ramadan is Awesome.
Before Futoor
- Wake up early. Not too early, purchase but early enough to experience the fast. Remember: fasting for 16 hours does not cause your body to go into starvation mode. I've said this before and I'll say this again: STARVATION MODE IS A THEORY! It was never proven. If it did exist, then those poor children in Africa wouldn't look like walking skeletons.
- Experience the fast. Want to lose an optimal amount of fat? SUFFER! In the first 16 hours, your body will not dig through muscle stores- it'll resort to fat stores for energy. It'll be hard the first few days, but your body will adapt.
- 30-60 minutes prior to futoor or your first feeding, try to get 30-60 minutes of moderate paced walking. Don't go all out so that you won't risk dehydration. In addition, too much intensity will work up an appetite- something that you do not need feeding time.
- Weight-lifting without water or any source of muscle-sparing nutrient before futoor is counterproductive. If you could care less about muscle mass then go ahead and GYM IT. If you do care about muscle mass, stick to the first rule.
Futoor: It's Feeding Time
- At 6:40 pm (or 6:55 pm if you're a Shiite), drink 2-3 glasses of water then go pray. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. Nothing will reign on your appetite as much as this. I'm serious guys- THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT RULE!
- After 5-10 minutes of praying Al Maghrib, start your meal with one of the options below:
- Option 1: 125ml of Skimmed Liban + 3 Dates (not a fan of Liban? Skip it and eat 5 dates instead of 3).
- Option 2: Bowl of nonfat (non-creamy) soup, preferably lentil or vegetable soup (including tomato soup). Tashreeba is perfectly fine, as long as its not swimming in oil.
- The options above should serve to shut your appetite even more.
- Main entree- roughly a few minutes after the appetizers above:
- Option 1: A little bit of everything, or in Kuwaiti "tinignig". Have a piece of sambas, a piece of kuba, a small portion of rice, a small portion of harees, and a small portion of protein. I know many of you (especially females) prefer this method of eating. Just make sure you don't go overboard. Remember: "tinignig" (a little bit of everything) and not "kafkh" (pig out).
- Option 2: A protein source (lean chicken, fish or red meat), a carb source (rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, harees or yireesh) and A LOT OF VEGGIES.
Post Meal Damage Control
- Prep this 30 minutes prior to Futoor and drink it hot immediately after eating: White Tea, Ginger Tea and Peppermint. Basically, any tea that will aid in digestion. You may also include Sage (maramiya) and Thyme (Za'atar).
- Ramadan isn't complete without dessert, but it can also ruin your fat loss plan if you don't follow these rules.
- Enjoy (not gorge) whatever you want 4-5 hours AFTER Futoor. Don't indulge immediately after Futoor please..
- Keep dessert calories under 500. Futoor calories should be around 500-600. 500 calories of dessert is A LOT, but don't worry- Suhoor's going to be strict, beneficial and most importantly tasty.
- Drink a second serving of the tea mixture I posted above (White, Ginger, Peppermint, Sage and Thyme Tea)
- The goal of Suhoor is to eat something that will energize you throughout the fasting phase of 16 hours. This is essential if you want to keep energy levels up without suffering from severe energy crashes. What I'm about to suggest has been posted a while back:
- Mix ingredients together: 1-cup of nonfat yogurt (preferably nonfat Greek), 1-cup of berries (Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries- choose one or a combination of all, but limit to 1-cup), 15 raw Walnuts, Pistachios or Almonds (or a mix of all) and 2 teaspoons of Natureland Mountain Honey.
- What's so great about this mix? It provides a long-lasting protein source (the casein protein found in yogurt), fiber to aid in digestion and keep your stomachs satiated (berries and the nuts), a fat source to slow down nutrient digestion (nuts) and an energy source derived from mother nature's back yard (the raw honey).
Additional Exercise
Couldn't exercise before Futoor? No biggie- do it after; preferably 2-3 hours after Futoor or 2-3 hours after dessert.
EVERYONE regardless of height and weight should drink no less than 2.5 liters of water per day! You've got only 8 hours to eat and drink- no optimal water intake means no optimal fat loss!
If your goal is to lose fat in Ramadan, please drop a comment. I'll be more than happy to customize a meal plan for you provided that you detail what you like to eat at Futoor, dessert and Suhoor.
If your goal is anything other than fat loss, kindly wait for other posts that pertain to your health and fitness goals.

I got home from my Christmas trip on Friday with a whopping case of bronchitis. Today is the first day I've felt half-way human, and haven't been spending more time coughing than not. So I decided it was a good day to wrap up knitting for 2010 and start to work on 2011.
Actually, I did a little yesterday. I tried knitting on a complicated shawl, but that was beyond my capability, so I got out some acrylic and started a hat. I finished that hat this morning. So the first of the year's charity projects is done.
Finishing the hat made me think about getting my knitting diary up to date, and going through the project bags and all that sort of thing. I frogged a pair of mittens that I didn't particularly like, and put away leftover yarn from a couple of projects. Then I decided to get out last year's lists and see what progress I'd made. Unfortunately, most of the UFO's from last year's list are still on this year's. They are things that have no particular need for completion, so they seem to get pushed to the back burner. I need to make one of this year's goals getting those things done, so they're not on the list next year.
The Yarn Bank got reset to $0 on January 1st, so getting that built back up will be necessary if I am to have any new pretties this year. I also thought I would try something new - keeping all my ball bands for the year. I have 1 so far - from a mobius I finished on the trip home. Not sure what I'll do with them, but maybe I'll think of something clever.
Time for a sit-down. I'll pick out a UFO and work on it. Then maybe I'll choose a pattern for MJ's socks. Or find some other new thing to work on. At the very least there's a baby sweater to cast on. Tomorrow I need to get back to work, so I plan to take advantage of this day of convalescence.

Food Riots Continue In South Bengal
October 7, 2007
A ration dealer's house and the office of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) were set ablaze in Burdwan district of West Bengal Sunday in the continuing protests against alleged corruption in the public distribution system (PDS) and food grain hoarding that have claimed four lives.
A group of people set on fire the house of ration shopkeeper Golam Mohammed at Nawabhat in Burdwan district, about 250 km
northwest of Kolkata, and as the mob left the area it torched the CPI-M office in the vicinity.
The group clashed with police and some CPI-M supporters alleging that the ration dealers were hoarding food grains.
Burdwan superintendent of police Piyush Pande told IANS that about 25 people, including Pradip Das, the CPI-M MLA from the area, were injured during the arson and subsequent police action.
'The situation is now under control. We have arrested eight people,' Pande said.
Police said Mohammed was attacked after he failed to pay up money demanded by the group. His storehouse was also set on fire. There was tension in some other areas of the district like Golshi, Itaru and Shashankha.
Murshidabad district also witnessed ration riots in some areas Sunday.
Burdwan had witnessed similar attacks on Saturday as well along with Bankura and Birbhum districts.
A ration dealer from Bankura Saturday hanged himself as he could not afford to pay the Rs.400,000 fine slapped on him by a kangaroo court.
Biman Kundu, 32, was found hanging from the ceiling at his home in Borokumira village, 230 km from Kolkata.
This was the second suicide in the district since protests against alleged corruption in the food distribution system began. A ration dealer from Raipur had killed himself on Sep 28.
The kangaroo court, called by villagers, had charged Kundu with selling wheat and rice in the black market and was asked to pay up.
The villagers have been attacking the houses of the ration dealers, their stores and looting property and food grains before torching them.
'The ration corruption allegations should be probed by the state agencies immediately. We have to activate the anti-corruption wings of our state instead of always screaming for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry,' said state PWD Minister Kshiti Goswami.
Earlier two protesters were killed in the police firing.
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya has appealed to people for peace. He asked people not to take law into their own hands and said the government had requested the centre to increase rice, wheat and kerosene supplies.
Food Supplies Minister Paresh Adhikary said a show-cause notice had been issued to Bijendra Nath Malakar, the Birbhum district controller of food, and action would be taken against Madan Mohan Mandal, the Bankura district controller of food, who has recently retired.

I was asked to make some wedding invitations. The requirements were fuchsia, sparkly and modern and this is what I came up with. It is inspired by an example on the Pink Petticoat website.
This was my first go with Promarkers and my first go with a Fiskars border punch too and also my first go with DecoArt Gamour Dust (Crystal) that I used for the wedding dress though I have not discovered how to photograph better as it is so sparkly, you have to see it to believe it. On and another first I must mention, I used Satin Finish Printer paper by Crafter's Companion as I wanted to use something I hoped would be good quality. Oh my, it was outstanding. Not only did it print the background papers beautifully it felt gorgeous too. I was really pleased with that because it adds a little something when the guests take the invite from the envelope.
I had such a lot of fun.

I'm really foreign in this situation
Wait, I mean I'm not familiar with this time and place and
Are you ok? Why did you pick here?
When did you start smoking, and what's up with that beer?
And what's up with that look? I just asked a question
Now you scowling at me, breathing like you stressed and
Sighing like you're depressed and this is just a mess and
Okay, so I lied, but I swear it was for the best and
Now we're at a point where everything isn't cool
Locked me out your heart, have me crying like I'm a fool
OK, so I'm a fool, big deal, I admit it
We argue like crazy and it's only cause you permit it
Get it? There are things you don't really recognize
Just talking about it gives me the bad case of butterflies
I'm so nervous around you, stammering and stuttering
I keep fidgeting and moving, my eyelids are fluttering
Let me start from somewhere, the lies were... mine
Wait, don't get upset, you remember that time
When I told you I love you with all my heart
As long as we're together, even when we're apart?
Well, I still love you, somewhat, hey, don't start
I'm telling you the truth, I'm not playing a part
It's just that my heart is no longer in it to win it
And it seems to me yours has been gone for a minute
OK, that was a tongue trap, and I deserve the slap
But did you really have to pour that beer in my lap?
I've been a good person, I don't deserve this crap
I'm putting space between us bigger than a gap-
Wait, what? The space has been there? Since when?
Oh no, forget that, tell me more about this 'friend'
Is that the reason our relationship can't mend-
Now you answer your phone, this is about to end
I'm sick of all the put-offs, end of discussion
Why should I answer that? And why are you rushing?
Going to see them? NO? So why are you blushing?
Heart is beating faster than a drum band's percussion
I can't believe we're doing this, this is ridiculous
You're acting as if I beat you or gave you Syphilis
Just one more question, and then I'm through
Do you ever wonder why I stopped loving you?

On or about June 26, 2006, Plaintiffs Albert Tobin, age 79, and Juliet Tobin, age 91, refinanced the mortgage on their primary residence located at 1585 Powell Road in Oceanside, CA. (Corrected Second Amended Complaint ("CSAC") ¶¶ 27-29.) On September 18, 2008, Plaintiffs gave notice of their intent to rescind the loan transaction, due to alleged violations of the Federal Truth In Lending Act ("TILA") by, among others, BC Bancorp, a creditor on the loan. (Id. at ¶ 36.) Despite this notice, Defendants proceeded with foreclosure proceedings against the property prompting Plaintiffs' counsel Deborah L. Raymond to contact Defendant Indymac, the servicer of the loan.
In November 2008, Raymond exchanged e-mail messages with Defendant Elke Poerschke, Vice President of Corporate Compliance at Indymac, in an effort to resolve the dispute and halt the foreclosure proceedings. (Id. at ¶ 39.) The e-mail exchange is attached to the CSAC as Exhibit H, and provides as follows:*fn1

Pursuant to the last message that you left on my voice mail, it was my understanding that you were going to review the loan modification Information provided by my clients and have the Trustee's Sale postponed.
I have just looked online and the Trustee's Sale is still pending for 11/20/2008. Please inform me of your intentions and provide me with written confirmation that the Trustee's Sale has been postponed and to what date. Thank you.

just before the Green week in Berlin, the environmental organization Greenpeace with the "price-to-book Agriculture in 2050″, submitted a Plan for a climate-friendly renovation of the agriculture. Because so far, the agriculture have contributed to climate protection with virtually nothing, so the criticism of Greenpeace.
The research Institute of organic agriculture (FIBL) has been submitted on behalf of Greenpeace, a study of how it is possible to operate in Germany, an agriculture with the half of their current greenhouse gas emissions. To do this, the meat consumption of the Germans would have to fall by about half, from approximately 60 kilograms per capita per year to about 30 kilograms. Accordingly, fewer animals would be fattened in Germany. As a result, the greenhouse gas emissions would decrease significantly.
especially the methane emissions of cattle can be effective only due to less cattle lower. The nitrate values in air and in water would sink, if there are fewer pigs and chickens were kept. In addition, the manure-tourism would be reduced by the whole of Germany. Currently, manure, a day driving the car from the regions with high animal densities, particularly in the direction of Eastern Germany, to the Fields of excess quantities of get rid of as a fertilizer. The green agricultural politician, Friedrich Ostendorff, said on Saturday: "The Animal down."
bees protect and less Fertilizing
the species extinction to stop, would have to be taken according to FIBL and Greenpeace assessment of further land out of production. Currently, eleven million hectares of arable land and a further five million hectares of grassland are used. In addition, the Institute proposes to ban pesticides and to reduce the nitrate fertilization. The renunciation of pesticides would come mammals, and especially insects – and therefore birds and small – to benefit, because they would then find enough food in the fields. If less is fertilized, seeps less nitrate into the groundwater, and there is less nitrous oxide, a very effective greenhouse gas.
Immediately, Greenpeace calls for a ban on bee-hazardous pesticides. Currently, a Moratorium on the so-called Neonicotinoids, which is currently being reviewed by the European Union. The environmental organization also the fertilisers regulation does not go far enough, which is discussed for two years in the Cabinet, in the parliamentary groups of the countries, and to be adopted in the first quarter. While the Federal environment Agency would like to simply abolish the value-added tax subsidy for meat and sausage products, Greenpeace, a new tax, whose revenue would be used to help farmers in the transition to environmentally sound agriculture.
The agricultural subsidies should also be of ecological inputs, the farmers bound, the environmentalists also. "Industrialized agriculture has no future," says Greenpeace agricultural expert Martin Hofstetter. However, the consumer should expect "higher prices" in order to make the sector more climate friendly. But on the other hand, the costs for the environment would result in the elimination of problems such as, for example, an expensive drinking water treatment in the medium term.

Description of the book "Iqtisad Al-Fuqara' (Poor Economics )":Billions of government dollars and thousands of charitable organizations and NGOs are dedicated to helping the world's poor. But much of the work they do is based on assumptions that are untested generalizations at best, flat out harmful misperceptions at worst. Banerjee and Duflo have pioneered the use of randomized control trials in development economics. Work based on these principles, supervised by the Poverty Action Lab at MIT, is being carried out in dozens of countries. Drawing on this and their 15 years of research from Chile to India, Kenya to Indonesia, they have identified wholly new aspects of the behaviour of PDF poor people, their needs, and the way that aid or financial investment can affect their lives. Their work transforms certain presumptions: that microfinance is a cure-all, that schooling equals learning, that poverty at the level of 99 cents a day is just a more extreme version of the experience any of us have when our income falls uncomfortably low. Throughout, the authors emphasize that life for the poor is simply not like life for everyone else: it is a much more perilous adventure, denied many of the cushions and advantages that are routinely provided to the more affluent: if ePub they do not have a piped water supply the poor cannot benefit from chlorination; if they cannot afford ready-made breakfast cereals they cannot gain the enriched vitamins and other nutrients; they are routinely denied access to markets; and, they get negative interest rates on their savings, while exorbitant rates are charged on their loans. The daily stress of poverty discourages long-term thinking and often leads to bad decision-making. Add to that the fact the poor are routinely denied the information that might help them manage the nightmarish predicament that in most cases they PDF are born into through no fault of their own.

|L'Oreal Color Riche in Butterfly Kisses
I am OBSESSED with the new Color Riche line from L'Oreal- the colors are so chic and there are so many beautiful shades available. I picked up two colors that were perfect for the sudden appearance of Spring! Butterfly Kisses is a gorgeous sheer lilac+lavender shade with a slightly iridescent finish. It looks opaque, but it goes on sheer and I used 3 coats (1 light first coat and 2 heavier coats on top) to get my desired opacity.
|With flash- really shows off the sheer quality and the shimmer!
The level of shine is about the same as any other quality nail polish- I'm so used to using a high shine top coat that I can't really tell whether the actual nail polish is shinier compared to others. The finish, however, is lovely- very smooth and rich. I HATE streaky nail polishes, which tends to be a huge problem with lighter color shades and only get worse as you layer them. This goes on smooth and does not streak. Yay!
10-day wear: I doubt any nail polish meets this challenge- unless you do absolutely nothing with your hands! I kept this on for about a week- longer than I usually do- and it was barely chipped by the time I took it off, even with all the typing, dishwashing, showering and other nail destroying activities I take part in. It is durable, but I doubt it would last for 10 whole days in mint condition.
All in all, Butterfly Kisses is a lovely addition to any nail polish collection, especially for Spring. It's a pretty color, but it goes with pretty much any outfit you decide to wear. I love that versatility! Be sure to add a beautiful punchy color to your daily look to celebrate all the lovely colors of Spring!
Stay beautiful!

#1 I bought all the paper good and decorations at the Dollar Tree, where everything was really $1.
#4 We served lunch, hot dogs, flower sandwiches, fruit, chips and kid snacks.
#6 Good old fashion fun... playing outside. Since it was raining we were not able to do all the activities we had planned. The kids did play in the sandbox, swing, color, blow bubbles, and chalk on the patio.
#7 We make a DVD slide show of the last year and show it at the party. This is a special tradition. It is my way of scrap booking for my kids.
#8 Perfect party favors! I found these cute flower purses at the Dollar Tree. I filled with bubbles, a sucker and a flower plastic cookie cutter. They also served as decorations lining the stairway.

|The setting for the story you are about to read.
Let me catch my breath.
How is it already October? Did we just skip over September? I'd like it back or at least an opportunity to remember if anything actually happened during it.
Oh wait, let's see. I hosted a fundraiser, ate lots of Mexican food, had some sushi, some Indian, felt ill and got better, toured the WV mountains, and then escaped to Alabama and SC for a whirlwind four days. That was September. Ok, I feel better.
I think that Cap and I might be victims of the Law of Attraction. We needed something to do? Well, for better or worse, I think we now have our fill.
Talk about "How to Not Murder Your Med Student Husband"--who???? I have a husband??? I want to murder him? WHY.
Because you are bored and separated from friends and family because of medical school. Remember?
Oh, yeah.
I think I have achieved busyness. Successfully? I will let you decide.
|Hellooooo. Oysters.
Last Wednesday, I fled (as if a pack of rabid 8 year olds were after my soul, little soul suckers) the Mountain State for the intoxicating and magical Low Country. Five and a half hours, one gas stop and bathroom break later, I found myself in Columbia, SC. Well, I was close enough to my beloved coast to effectively imagine the thick and briny fragrance of rotting marsh grass. I cuddled my 9 day old nephew for a bit, read Peter Pan to the three and half year old nephew, and ate delicious enchiladas before forcing myself to close my eyes before Hannah picked me up at 9am the following morning (Thursday).
|The stars of this story in our farm chic get-ups.
I was able to take the nephew to pre-school before hitting the road with my oldest bestie at 95-99 mph, speeding to Birmingham. We gabbed and yapped and chatted and laughed and listened to really good music as we raced the clock to Alabama and our $1,000 a plate dinner at 5:30 that afternoon. We thought we would be in a major time crunch with only seconds to dab mascara and don our boots and cocktail dresses.
|The long white table.
Little did we know that we would be gaining an hour at the Georgia/Bama border. Score one for us! Of course, we didn't realize this lucky phenomenon until we got up to our hotel room, took one look at the clock, sighed in appreciation for timezones, and decided to go shopping.
|Toasting Bessie.
Of course, none of the 20 lbs. of garments that I had trekked from WV would do. We spotted a cute boutique near our hotel, and I found the evening's attire on super markdown. Score two!
|Drinks menu at Little Donkey.
Then, we decided we needed a drink, so we went to the Little Donkey and indulged in some cocktails, veggie fundido, and chips and salsa.
|This table was the best idea ever.
This is when we looked at the clock and realized that our gained hour had slipped quickly away and we were on track to miss our 5:30 rendezvous. We had a fashion show at the hotel and applied the finishing touches before grabbing a cab to an urban farm on the edge of downtown Birmingham.
As we drove up, there were string lights crisscrossing above a very, very long white table, whose sparkly crystal and china place settings glinted in the setting sunlight. There was bourbon--lots and lots of bourbon--in mason jars with simple orange peels. There were hay bales covered in burlap for easy seating. There were huge Gulf shrimp, homemade sausage (that tasted like chicken bog, which my Pee Dee folks will understand), OYSTERS (those delicious little filters of the sea), pickled radishes and celery, oh, and bourbon.
The cocktail hour was long, ushering us into twilight and filled with bluegrass music and garden plot admiring. We plucked arugula straight from the ground and tasted its spice. We even grilled up a few peppers with permission from the plot keeper. Yum.
Then it was time for dinner and a stroll across the farm to the long, white table. It was time to toast Bessie. Bessie was the grass-fed, three-year-old cow that would become our dinner. They roasted her whole in a pit. We are very thankful for Bessie!
We sat down and were served family style. It started with grilled Red Snapper, fresh out of the Gulf the day before (OMG). Then came Bessie and field pea salad and corn relish, turnips, and okra. Finally, there was apple cake with fresh cream. It was a dreamy night under the stars, filled with delicious food and excellent company.
|$250 bourbon. Yowz.
I would gladly drop everything to do it all over again. Thanks, Hannah!!

Whatever You Had To Know About Arts And CraftsParticipating in crafts gives you a great way to unwind and actually has some therapeutic value as well. It's important to find the right type of projects that fit with your interests and lifestyle. This article will guide you through the decision process.
Go easy on kids who are doing arts and crafts. Doing arts and crafts is supposed to bring out their creative side. If you're constantly correcting them, it will be harder for them to be more creative.

text:
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says as many as 17.5 million people have been displaced in these war-torn countries. In Syria alone, 11.5 million people have fled their homes since the beginning of Washington's regime-change war in 2011. Five million have fled the country, and six million live in ad-hoc shelters across the country.
The new numbers, in a report by the ICRC, highlight the sheer magnitude of desperation in the region, and the struggle of everyday life in first-hand accounts. In all cases, the extent of damage has been complicated by tactics of urban warfare by foreign-backed terrorist groups and indiscriminate bombing campaigns by the United States, Saudi Arabia and allies.
Matters are made worse by continual use of high-impact weapons that destroy urban infrastructure as well as land and sea blockade. Worse still, the warmongers involved in the conflict deliberately refuse to uphold the rules of International Humanitarian Law, protect urban settings, and work to the pressing concerns of international community for peace and security.
And by ignoring most appeals for humanitarian aid, they have left UN agencies so broke they can't even feed many refugees properly anymore. This has to change, now. And there are many solutions for how the international civil society - in particular the Western countries – can start tackling this massive humanitarian crisis together:
1. Ending the war with no strings attached. There is no disaster in the Muslim world for which the West's answer is not to supply arms or drop bombs on it. As the refugee crisis in Europe has driven home the horror of Syria's civil war that has been exactly the response of the leaders of the United States, Britain and France.
2. The only way to wind down these unnecessary conflicts is through a negotiated settlement involving all the regional powers. Syria has long been a proxy war, pitting the government's Iranian and Russian backers against the Persian Gulf dictatorships, Turkey and the Western powers that stand behind the myriad terror groups. Talks between the main players have to pick up, aimed at such a deal.
3. The pressure is always to use the battlefield to increase leverage at the negotiating table. ISIL thrives on war and sectarian conflict across the region. It will be marginalized and eventually defeated when that conflict is brought to an end through dialogue. That will need pressure from the West on its Persian Gulf clients to stop weaponizing their terror proxies, not a new bombing campaign. It's true the refugee crisis can be solved – but it will be by peacemaking, not more Western war and certainly not more Western weapons to clients and terror proxies.
4. Opening up safe routes to sanctuary for refugees is one important solution. That means allowing people to reunite with their relatives, and giving refugees visas so they don't have to spend their life savings and risk drowning in the Mediterranean Sea to reach safety. It also means resettling all refugees who need it. Resettlement is a vital solution for the most vulnerable refugees in Europe.
5. All countries that support terrorist groups should be investigated and prosecuted. They exploit the ongoing violence and refugees and put people's safety at a great risk in order to maintain the status quo. Western governments also need to stop blaming refugees for economic and social problems, and instead combat all kinds of xenophobia and racial discrimination. Doing otherwise is deeply unfair, stirs up tensions and fear of Muslims.
Against this backdrop, it is time to put an immediate halt to all fighting in the Middle East. Far too many lives have already been lost or destroyed, and the very existence of Iraq, Syria and Yemen as a state is under threat. Those responsible for these disasters should realize that regime-change fantasies will lead nowhere. If the latest deescalation zones agreed by Iran, Russia and Turkey are for instance to have any chance of making progress, all those capable of improving conditions on the ground must sign up to the agreement now.
A determined and sustained international effort to end the war and attain peace is the only way to protect the people of Syria, Iraq and Yemen. The United Nations should work with all parties who have a major say in this conflict to stop the states that are rendering financial, arms and material support for the terrorist groups through a comprehensive mechanism in a move to bring a lasting resolution to the humanitarian crisis. Deliberately pushing victim countries in the opposite direction, mercilessly escalating the regional conflicts and tensions, increasing the flow of arms and ammunition to terrorist proxy forces, imposing sanctions and embargos, or approving laws that strip refugees of their dignity are in no way the war solution in these dangerous times.

The Koala is a nocturnal, tree dwelling marsupial mammal, which feeds almost exclusively on the leaves of a few species of eucalypt. It consumes up to 1 kg of leaves daily, peak feeding being at sunset.
[inscription of the back side of postcard]
Look at this cute stamp! I really love this series of stamps!
I hope that one day I will have them all ;)
And another postcard from the same person:
Wombats are short-legged, muscular quadrupedal marsupials that are native to Australia and are approximately 1 metre in length, with short, stubby tails. All are members of the family Vombatidae. They are adaptable in habitat tolerance, and are found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania, as well as an isolated patch of about 300 hectares in Epping Forest National Park in central Queensland.
And another stamp from "Australian Bush Babies II" set of stamps!

I am so grossed out, I want to die.
My daughter dropped a giant rock on her toe a couple weeks ago. The toenail came off today. She soaked it and THIS LARVAE THING CAME OUT OF IT.
ewe ewe ewe ewe!!!!!!!!!!
(And yes, this is the same child that also had an earwig go in her ear when she was about three. When we had it flushed out, there was also a tiny toy in there)
LIFE......begins in death.....emerges uncertain, fragile.....suddenly bursts forth, exclaiming joy...

Well, there is a small possibility it came from somewhere else. But a couple minutes after her toenail came off and we soaked her toe, it appeared right at the base of her nail bed where the worst injury was. Then I made the mistake of looking on line and seeing all the gross bugs that lay their eggs in wounds so that the larvae can feed off of the blood and wound secretions. You asked. :)

As I slowly creaked my way out of bed today, a thought that has passed through my mind a thousand times before visited me again. Specifically, "How much is too much?"
While in my particular case the thought was pertaining to my recent jump back into regular gym time and martial arts practice, that question could be applied to anything. We all "know" that exercise is supposed to be good for us. Properly applied, regular (or even irregular) exercise can have a huge range of positive effects on us physically, psychologically, and spiritually. But, as humans often do with many things, we take this to extremes. Some is good, so more must be better. That is true to a point.
I said that I "creaked" as I got out of bed today, but luckily I know that most of these pains are simply DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). It's often normal to feel some stiffness or pain upon starting or resuming an exercise program. But logic should tell us that there is a limit to how much pain we should feel. If you're a little bit achy after that run, there's probably nothing to worry about. But if your workout was four days ago, and youSTILL can't walk up a flight of stairs — you may want to reevaluate how much intensity you're bringing to your program. Here's a good rule of thumb I like to use:
If you're too sore to do what you did yesterday again today, then you probably overdid it!
We have been conditioned to "love the pain" (or at least that's what we hear from so many fit people), so we figure the more we hurt, the better job we must be doing. Right? WRONG! We must remember that every time we exercise with any significant load or intensity, we're causing some degree of trauma to our body's systems. There's a lot of crazy physiological stuff going on that I won't get into in this post, but just remember that we are exercising to be stronger and more fit. So stress your body, but don't OVER-stress it. As Lee Haney is known for saying: Stimulate, don't ANNIHILATE!
You see, our bodies are wonderful at recovering from and adjusting to the idiotic things we do to them. We have mechanisms in place that allow us to get stronger, faster, circulate blood more efficiently, and even digest food with greater effectiveness. But even the best machine breaks down. So when it comes to soreness, especially when it's excessive, ask yourself a question — Am I really smarter than millions of years of evolution?
The human body is, in my mind, an incredible and awe-inspiring creation that has spent eons developing the ability to adapt and respond to the dangers and stresses of life and the world around us. It gives us all sorts of information all of the time, and it's funny how we choose to ignore the bits we just don't want to listen to. If our bodies are doing their job when they tell us to drink some water or go to the bathroom, perhaps they are also be onto something when they tell us, "Hey, this thing hurts so don't be so rough with it!"
So to close, just pay attention to what you feel. While dedication to a fitness goal and enthusiasm are great, more is not always better. Moderation is a great philosophy in all areas of life. And moreover, it's not a race. You can slow down and still get where you want to go. But you'll probably be a lot safer when you get there, and you might get to see a little more scenery on the way!
Cheers as always,

My kids are a little too young to read the classics, but I found these fantastic children's and young readers versions at Costco.
Babylit @babylitbooks have these colorful board books that use classics to teach primary concepts. Pride & Prejudice is about counting and Sherlock Holmes and the Hounds of Baskerville is about sounds. There are other titles available too.
I also found this collection The Shakespeare Stories adapted for young readers by Andrew Matthews and Tony Ross @parfaitpress. The plays are written in prose form. I haven't read one yet, but they look like they would be perfect for story time.
I'm a bit late, but Happy World Book Day! Hope you were all able to enjoy today with great books!
I'm still counting entries. It's taking me longer than expected but I hope to be able to post the winner by tomorrow as promised. If not, I will let you know.

So I'm reading this really excellent book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. It's a nonfiction account of a Hmong family who migrates to Merced, California only to get into down-and-dirty culture clash when their youngest daughter is diagnosed with epilepsy.
Never heard of the Hmong? Neither had I. For the record, they're a self-sustaining ethnic group that has migrated over the millenia from China to Indochina and most recently to America. Now you know.
What has struck me most in reading this book is the first-class parenting skills the Lee family have provided for their child. I have been alternating between awe and that same, miserable guilt I always feel when I hear about someone doing it better.
To illustrate, the severity and duration of the child Lia's seizures start to cause developmental disability, which in turn prompts a million different medications and tinkering of dosages, which ultimately fail anyway, and Lia has a massive seizure which leaves her essentially brain-dead. What do the parents do? They make her a big baby carrier so the mother can carry her on her back, keep her immaculately groomed, feed her with baby bottles and tiny spoonfuls of crushed meat. They treat her like royalty, that's what they do.
Then, I'm sorry to say, there's me.
My child has his adenoids out. He has one week of pain and nighttime episodes of waking up, keening and thrashing and refusing to take Tylenol because he's too upset. One short week and already I am worn out. The nighttime screaming has eroded my nerves to tiny, frayed shreds. The other day I threw the medicine spoon and shrieked my own share of obscenities when all the medicine I was trying to give Jordan drooled back out of his mouth. He doesn't like it, you see. I know this because he ran in 3am circles hitting things and saying "I don't like that medicine! I don't like that medicine!" Me, I went from calm and soothing to less calm to not soothing at all. One week.
During the day he has tantrums because of the pain. Then he's fine again for longer and longer periods every day, which, contrary to common sense, makes the next tantrum all the less bearable, because I'm no longer expecting it. He has also learned to play the system with remarkable speed. Having been given flat Coke to help with nausea early in the game, he now makes a face that would win an Emmy and claims "I'm sick" when he gets a hankering for the drink that refreshes.
For a week he has also been allowed to watch his movies on the living room TV. Not that he watches them. Instead, he flips scenes around and watches the same ten minutes of the movie fifteen hundred times.
For a week he has been waited upon and coddled. He has been fixed whatever soft food he can stand, at the drop of a hat. We have stocked the pantry with special food for just this purpose.
So in a way, he's been treated like royalty himself. Except at three in the morning. But the point is that it's only been a week. And he's going to be fine. I will not need to carry him in a modified Baby Bjorn or bottle-feed him. I just need to watch "this silly thing on the movie"--for example, Jim Carrey dancing in a tutu--five thousand times. That's not so bad, really.
So no, I'm not up to par with the Hmong parents who embrace their completely crippled daughter with grace and charm. I'm not there. Thank God I don't have to be.
As it is, I need the spirit to catch me, or I fall down.
The Spirit Catches You

Duo of dotty dresses
This morning I finished a pair of dresses for my nieces - their mum informed me that they like to dress the same, so here's hoping! Anyway girls, I hope that you like them. My boys chose the spotty material for you and the schoolboy loves the feel of the ribbon.

The Threadbare Trouser Project
I have a handbag that I love - just the right size (well nearly, if it were a smidge bigger I could get an A5 notepad into it and that'd be great), right number of pockets, the strap goes diagonally over my shoulder so it doesn't fall off and I can use both my hands - I have vowed to keep it forever. The problem is that my 'made in china' bag wasn't made to be kept forever. The lining has fallen apart, and doesn't seem to be fixable - oh the tragedy!
Strangely enough the answer came in a work expo and a pair of threadbare trousers...
At the expo I was given a bag of handouts. The handouts were so-so (most went straight in the recycling), and the bag's handle was annoyingly short, but the design was bliss! One pattern piece, cut it out twice, sew it together, and you a nifty handbag that you could resize a little and use for the beach / a nappy bag. Make it out of a pair of suit trousers and you have the makings of the world's best bag - slightly bigger than my old bag, button up pockets inside for things you need to keep safe, a zipper across the top, and even a separate pocket to keep the mobile/car keys within easy reach.
I added the dragonflies along the way (the material has a red line through it), CR didn't make them that way as standard!
I was so impressed by the way the bag worked out that I made one for the female relative I have in this year's Kris Kringle (here's hoping she likes it). I've finished it, and am very happy with the finished product! (I've another pair of threadbare pants now though, so the project may make a reappearance).
First cab off the rank
The first item to bear the 'Fred & Cissy' tag was a mug-rug for my son's teacher. Our prep class have watched caterpillars hatch, grow, form a chrysalis and finally transform into Orchard Butterflies. I think that the teacher's been at least as excited by the process as the kids, particularly with the first butterfly coming out of its chrysalis on Friday, so I thought that a 'very hungry caterpillar' would make a suitable end of year present - I hope you enjoy it Mrs K, and don't forget it's machine washable!
Fred & Cissy
Fred and Cissy (actually Alfred & Gertrude) were my dad's maternal grandparents. To the best of my knowledge they died before I was born, but I have the letters that Fred wrote to his sweetheart on the boat across from England in 1912-13. He came to Australia ahead of her to find work and get settled before she made the trip and then they were married. Dad also has a poem that his grandfather wrote (or appropriated) for their golden wedding anniversary so many years later and he was evidently as smitten then as he was on the boat across. Since I inherited the letters from my Grandma I've been fascinated with them, charmed by their love for one another and aware of the sense of humour they must have had (one of the few photos dad has of them has Cissy and another lady on either side of Fred. They're holding flowers and he's holding a vegetable (cabbage I think - need to dig the photo out) with a grin on his face!
Anyway, I decided that I'd label some of my craft stuff, and I've decided to honour them in the process. I hope that if you receive anything with a Fred & Cissy label it'll give you a smile to match Fred's in that photo!
