Lately I have been thinking about one of my hubby love's favorite things to say to me.. "not everyone lives in Joy's world."
In Joy's world it would only snow on days I don't have any other plans.
In Joy's world the full moon would always come on a weekend, so I could stay up late and do the ceremony the right way!
In Joy's world every day would be Valentine's Day, because LOVE is the best!
I have discovered that not everyone likes Valentine's Day.
Those whose hearts are going through disappointment in matters of the heart seem to find today particularly difficult.
I have learned that some people actually like the snow. Imagine that.
It is going to snow on days I have to go to work.
We can enjoy our days, no matter what day it is, what phase the moon is in, and what the weather happens to be.
I am so excited for this particular full moon. I have been sitting with the moon at each phase, and I have been feeling her growing from dark to light, and She has been telling me that it is so important to embrace all of the phases of our lives, and embrace the darkness we try to hide as well as the light parts we show to the world. She has been telling me that it is time to bring more and more of the side I try to hide out into light. That all of it is good.
So I am thinking that even though I could enjoy the snow better if I didn't have to think about getting out in it to go to work at 6a.m. I can still embrace that part of my life.
I can embrace all the phases of my life, in the same way the moon is fine with Herself whether She is full, or dark, or somewhere in between.
I can embrace every day, whether it is Valentine's Day, or Groundhog Day, or drive your car in a ditch day.. (no that didn't happen, it just came to me... must have happened to someone reading this.)
I personally love Valentine's Day. I have a wonderful hubby love, who, despite his rantings and ravings this morning at the prospect of getting me to work, got up at 4:30, shoveled while I was showering, had the car warm and ready to go, and drove me to work, (begrudgingly, but he did it, nonetheless). I know not everyone has a hubby love to do this for them, and so maybe they see Valentine's Day as a reminder of something that at the current time, they do not have in their lives.
I say, if you are alive and breathing, then Love has come to you! Divine Love is always there, and sometimes if you just change the focus from what you don't have to what you do have, you will realize how many blessings and how much love you really do have in your life!
So try this..
What are you thankful for? You can comment here and tell me what you love about today... about the full moon, Valentine's Day or the snow.. What is good about today?
My gratitude list for today...
I did not have to go out and deliver any mail.. unlike some of my coworkers, bless their hearts.
I do have a wonderful hubby love ... thank you honey for all you do and all that you are..
The things that are in my heart I do have a place to share them (here)
I have a warm home, a fireplace, food in my belly, (probably a little too much)
I have a wonderful family who I love and who I am so proud of
Spring is coming, despite appearances..

Thoughts about Valentine's Day, the Full Moon, and Snow
2 comments:
I am thankful for snow days. Everyone seems to live in a fast pace world and are always on the go. This gives me the chance to stay at home with my little one with literally nothing to do and no where to go but spend quality time with her (making cupcakes, doing a fashion show, painting our nails,etc.)ReplyDeleteReplies
That sounds wonderful, Keryn! We all need to remember what it was like when we were children and just enjoy the moment, not be so concerned with "accomplishing" things. Have a wonderful day!Delete

Sound Transit just released an amended preferred alternative alignment for the Eastlink extension to Bellevue and beyond.
The motion is on the agenda for tomorrow's Sound Transit Board meeting. Here it is:
The most controversial issue of the Eastlink project is the C segment (tunnel or no tunnel) through downtown Bellevue. This proposed motion allows design and engineering to go forward on both a surface and deep bore tunnel option and provides a timetable for the City of Bellevue to propose funding options to Sound Transit. Segment D will go through the Bel-Red coordinator, which is undergoing massive transit oriented development in East Bellevue.
Stay tuned!
The meeting where the motion could move is tomorrow at 1:30 at the Sound Transit Board room.

I have quite short hair and while I love 1930s-40s hairstyles more than any other, oftentimes they just doesn't work when your hair only just reaches your shoulders. As such, it will come as no surprise that one of my favourite things about the 1920s were the wonderfully creative ways women styled their very short hair, and particularly the pretty things they used to do it.
One of the most commonly recognised styles of the period was to wear feathered and jewel embellished headbands; and while they're terribly beautiful, they're not the most practical thing to wear to work. Fortunately, the current vintage-inspired headband trend is equally feminine in style, but a little more subtle. I love the grey band with silver embellishment of this headband from ASOS (less harsh than the silver-on-black options I've seen on the high street) and this is both day and night time appropriate. You could also take a leaf out of Clever Nettle's book and try one of these with pin curls for an even more 20s-inspired look!

1. Have a skincare routine and stick to it.
I have a skincare routine that I stick to morning and night. They are both different but equally important. It's important that I have one both in the morning at night because I wear makeup almost every day thus it is important to both prepare my skin when I am putting it on and making sure it is all off when I go to bed each night.
2. It isn't just about your face, your neck, shoulders, elbows and the rest of your body matters too!
Skincare isn't just about taking care of your face, it's also about the rest of your body. It's about shaving/waxing your underarms legs on the regular (If you do at all) not waiting for it to get crazy long, and moisturizing your legs, putting ointment on scars and everything in between skincare is about all of your skin not just your face.
3. Protect your skin ALWAYS.
Always wear sunscreen. I admit that I am not one that does this every day because I have oily skin and don't like how the two react, however, I am on the hunt for a face sunscreen that I can wear every day that will not cause me to breakout so leave your suggestions in the comments below!
4. Stop eating processed sugar.
Sugar makes you feel gross and breaks out skin, try and reduce the amount of processed sugars you eat and as a result; your body and skin will thank you for it.
5. Dab don't push.
Don't push your skin in all sorts of ways in order to rub in creams. Be soft and lightly dab on creams and lotions or whatever else you put on your skin. This will ensure you don't get premature wrinkles
6. Drink water.
It's good for you and good for your skin.
7. Pillowcases and phones.
When talking on the phone don't hold your phone against your face, instead hold it slightly away from your face. This is because all of the bacteria that is on your phone is going on your face, which is both gross and causes breakouts from the bacteria. Pillowcases; change these every few days. Why? because your face lies on them for approx 8 hours a night, every night and it picks up all the grease from your hair, sweat, and not to mention if you have a pet. Changing your pillowcases on the regular (not just when you wash your sheets) is important. The same goes for hand towels when drying your face. cleansing your face is awesome but if you are drying your face with a hand towel that you dry your hands with after you poop (okay yes they are washed but still ew) enough said use a separate towel.
8. Sleep
Not only for health reasons but also it will help your skin if you get enough sleep every night.

The smart Trick of oregano oil capsules That No One is DiscussingAlso, making use of this sort of smaller amounts of anti-fungals, these anti-fungals will unquestionably either be totally utilised up, fatigued, neutralized or absorbed to the blood/lymph by the time it's handed down just the initial 10 feet with the intestines.

Productivity in the form of writing and receptivity in the form of reading are difficult prospects while enduring a 48 hour hangover since your 29th birthday. Especially for an intermittently and currently not employed writer, motivation can be hard to come by under such circumstances. Yet I did decide to check out my WordPress reader on this most unholy of windy and surf-less Sunday afternoons, and discovered courtesy of All Hail The Monkey King that I'd been nominated for the Liebster Award.
A quick Google discovered that the Lieber Award had something to do with schizophrenia research. Then I realised I'd spelled it wrong, re-Googled, and from reading the first blog (formerly Lorraine Reguly's Life (now Wording Well)) about it found that the "Liebster award was created to recognize (sic) and/or discover new bloggers and welcome them to the blogosphere". According to my nominator the Monkey King, the rules of the award are as follows:
- Nominees must link back to the person who nominated them;
- Answer the 10 questions which are given to them by the one who nominated;
- Nominate 10 other bloggers for this award who have less than 200 followers, but who deserve to be widely read;
- Create 10 questions for their nominees to answer;
- Let the nominees know you have nominated by going to their blog and notifying them.
So, I thought, what the hell? Q&A from His Banana Belching Highness to yours truly:
MK: One day, you wake up and discover everything that existed before was a dream. You're Lex Luthor (Superman villain). You are a billionaire. You're a white, rascist Xenophobe. You're President of the USA. And you have a super suit. My question. What is the first thing you do?
WJ: Pick up the phone, call Bashar al-Assad, tell him he's a wanker, then fly over to Syria (assuming the "super suit" grants me such powers) and slap it into him in case he was dismissive.
MK: You have a monkey and it is your best friend for most of your life. But the monkey beats up your partner (who you've had a serious relationship for two years), and hospitalises him/her. The monkey has never been violent before, and seems apologetic. The partner says he/she is too scared to go near the monkey anymore. Do you get rid of the monkey? Or the partner? What else might you do?
WJ: I'd get rid of both, naturally after she has gotten out of hospital. No partner of mine could have her arse handed to her by a monkey, and I'd tolerate no violence in any monkey of mine.
MK: Would you ever sleep with your boss? (Feel free to say that's not your business, that does answer the question).
WJ: Theoretically, yes. I have had enough trouble being hired, let alone getting into bed with female bosses. That said, there are a lot more of them out there these days, and the world is a better place for it. Sex or no.
MK: You discover you can travel in time and space, but only three times. Where would you go?
WJ: Back to before I answered this question with a boring reply.
MK: Favourite TV series?
WJ: Californication. Hank Moody's a legend. Or a prick. Probably both.
MK: You wake up, and realise the life you knew was a lie. You suddenly recognise the people around you, and the circumstances you are in are familiar. You are at the beginning of the first episode of your favourite TV series. What do you do or what would you do differently?
WJ: I, Hank, wouldn't have screwed the girl, Mia, seducing me by complimenting me on my book, as I'd know she's 16. Though I believe it's perfectly legal to sleep with a 16-year-old in Australia. Either way, come her 18th birthday I'd be all over that.
MK: Turn your Ipod/Spotify/music player on shuffle. What song is playing now?
WJ: Instead I scrolled down Windows Media Player with my eyes closed, then double-clicked. Turns out it was Novelty, by Joy Division, from their Substance album.
MK: Would you rather be a Terminator robot, or a Predator (From the Predator movies).
WJ: Predator. But this time I'd successfully take down Arnie. At least with my self-destruct mode. It would detonate faster this time. What's the point of giving the enemy so much time to escape (beside a coherent plot)?
MK: You're a Pokemon. What are you? And would you be friendly with humans?
WJ: Drinkadink. I've always got a beer handy for my struggling with alcoholism human master. My most devastating move is alcohol poisoning.
MK: Least popular blog post you've ever published?
WJ: Might turn out to be this one.
His Smelly Lice-infestedness only bothered nominating six other blogs, so I'll nominate five in no particular order:
- All Hail The Monkey King;
- mindful of thoughts;
- Dead Homer Society;
- The Astrology of Celebrity; and last but not least
- journlaw.
Questions for them:
1. What do you think are the positive and negative consequences of such a saturated media landscape?
2. Do you think taste in pop culture is declining (think Bieber and Cyrus), or has there always been questionable elements to pop culture?
3. Human-induced climate change: fact or fiction?
4. If you could be a piece of household furniture?
5. What do you enjoy doing when, if ever, you're hungover?
6. Is content or technical proficiency more important to writing these days, and in the online environment?
7. Where would you like to visit that you never have?
8. Reality TV?
9. If you had the chance to settle on another planet, would you?
10. Do you think the advent of power-steering has probably reduced road rage?
Now, what do I win?

by Howie Cockrill
In Part 1 of this article, I introduced the Performance Rights Act which is pending in the House and Senate and briefly examined the background leading to this legislation. (Senate version) (House version)
In Part 2, I compare the current Copyright Act with the proposed changes of the Performance Rights Act.
Interestingly, some of the most profound changes would arise because of the deletion of 1 word - "digital."
Section 106 of the Copyright Act lists the exclusive rights that belong to a copyright owner.
Summarized, they are the rights to:
- copy
- distribute
- alter
- display publicly
- perform publicly
Particularly important here is the language in Section 106(6), which gives copyright holders an exclusive right:
"in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission."
The PRA would omit the word "digital" from Section 106(6).
This means that the public performance copyright for sound recordings would extend to ALL transmissions – not just digital ones.
And this means that sound recording copyright owners (artists and labels) would be entitled to royalties from analog audio transmissions (i.e., AM/FM radio).
Section 114 of the Copyright Act covers the scope of the exclusive rights in sound recordings.
Section 114(d)(1) carves out certain transmissions that are exempt from the sound recording copyright.
The first exemption listed is "nonsubscription broadcast transmissions."
Without reading the legislative history – it is difficult to know why Congress felt the need to include this as an exemption, because nonsubscription broadcast transmissions are essentially AM/FM radio broadcasts – which are already exempt from the sound recording performance right under the Copyright Act.
The PRA would again cut out the word "digital" and apply the exemptions to all audio transmissions that can meet the (d)(1) requirements.
However, because one of the main purposes of this legislation is to bring AM/FM broadcasts within the scope of the sound recording public performance right – the exemption for "nonsubscription broadcast transmissions" would be stricken.
The PRA would also add as exemptions "eligible nonsubscription transmissions" of (1) services at a place of worship and (2) "incidental" uses of musical sound recordings.
Section 114(j)(6) provides a definition of an "eligible nonsubscription transmission:"
A noninteractive nonsubscription digital audio transmission not exempt under subsection (d)(1) that is made as part of a service that provides audio programming consisting, in whole or in part, of performances of sound recordings, including retransmissions of broadcast transmissions, if the primary purpose of the service is to provide to the public such audio or other entertainment programming, and the primary purpose of the service is not to sell, advertise, or promote particular products or services other than sound recordings, live concerts, or other music-related events.
So what does this mean?
"Eligible" means that these transmissions are eligible to receive a license (at a statutory rate set by the Copyright Royalty Board) to be able to use music in the programming.
"Nonsubscription" means you do not have to sign up to receive the transmission.
"Digital" means transmissions other than AM/FM ones.
Thus, taken together – an "eligible nonsubscription transmission" is a digital broadcast featuring music that you do not have to sign up for to receive and where the broadcasters can get a license at a locked-in rate from the copyright owners of the music that is played.
Once again – the proposed legislation cuts the word "digital."
The effect would be that much of AM/FM radio would be included under the umbrella of "eligible nonsubscription transmissions."
As previously mentioned - in the current Copyright Act, AM/FM radio is exempt from paying performance royalties to labels and artists.
The PRA eliminates this exemption and also requires AM/FM broadcasters featuring music to pay a statutory rate.
Section 114(f) sets the stage for statutory royalty rates, allowing the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) to establish a set fee paid by digital broadcasters for their performance of sound recordings.
In particular, 114(f)(2) gives the CRB the power to set statutory minimum fees to be paid by digital broadcasters providing "eligible nonsubscription transmissions."
These minimum fees are supposed to represent the fees that would have
been negotiated in the marketplace between a "willing buyer and a
willing seller."
The PRA would add some interesting language to 114(f)(2) regarding the statutory rates.
It states that each AM/FM broadcaster with annual gross revenues less than $1.25 million can choose to pay an annual fee of $5,000 in lieu of what it would otherwise owe under the statutory rates.
This establishes a $5,000 minimum for AM/FM broadcasters grossing less than $1.25 million.
The effect of this minimum is that AM/FM broadcasters with over $1.25 million in annual gross revenue would be subject to the statutory royalty rate set by the Copyright Royalty Board and paid by broadcasters to labels/artists (or a performance rights organization like ASCAP or BMI, but for sound recordings – not compositions).
The PRA also states that AM/FM public radio would pay a $1,000 minimum.
AM/FM broadcasters who make only occasional use of music would have the option of paying a "per program" license, instead of paying for each sound recording they use.
In Part 3, I will explain who the parties are that are in favor and opposed to the Performance Rights Act, and I will provide a quick timeline showing the recent history of the bill as it winds its way through Congress.

Baxter helps Ramot gain momentum
Tel Aviv University's commercialisation arm Ramot has signed agreements with Baxter to commercialise a range of technologies currently being developed.
Author: Sam Shaw, reporter
Ramot, the technology transfer office of Tel Aviv University (TAU), has signed licensing agreements with US-based medical products supplier Baxter International with the aim of commercialising research.
The two will conduct joint research to evaluate a range of technologies currently being developed at the university and Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. They will particularly focus on projects that tackle unmet clinical needs.
Under a first agreement, Baxter will exclusively license technology funded by Ramot's early-stage investment vehicle TAU Technology Innovation Momentum Fund.
A second agreement will allow Baxter to license technology from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (TASMC).
Baxter will help commercialise early-stage research currently being developed at TAU and TASMC, in time expanding its product range into other areas of surgical care.
Shlomo Nimrodi, chief executive officer of Ramot, said: "TAU is world renowned as a leading academic and research institution for its innovation and entrepreneurship.
"We are gratified to see another one of TAU's technologies graduating from our unique value enhancement program the TAU Technology Innovation Momentum Fund.
"We are happy to partner Baxter to explore how we can bring leading technologies to operating rooms worldwide."

I have now moved onto the development stage of my minor project, I am experimenting with fabrics and different techniques using leather, lace, plaster, embroidery and print.

Welcome to my first blog, I have just started my third and final year at CCAD. Working on a concept journal over the holidays allowed me to put my ideas and thoughts down. I am currently working on my minor project, which I have chosen to do about the scrapyard. Looking at the piled up cars, depcrepid and falling apart, its sad to think of the memories linked with these items. Like memories being destroyed, the rust taking over that is both beautiful and destructive.

Together with the right motivation and education, a homeowner can tackle any redesigning job that comes his way.

not you?
Your account
A simples guide
The aftermath of a car accident can be a trying time. Confusion, stress and anxiety can mean you forget to do the important things, like telling your car insurance provider in good time. So we've put together this guide so that you know what to do if that time ever comes.
If you've had an accident, you don't have to make a claim on your car insurance. However, you do need to tell your insurance provider about the accident.
Most insurance providers state in their terms and conditions that you need to tell them about any accident you're involved in; if you don't inform them, you could invalidate your policy.
Personal injury claims can be made against you years after you have an accident, so notifying your provider means they can be prepared. It also means that your insurance provider won't compensate a third party without your knowledge.
You should tell your insurance provider about your accident (whether or not you want to make a claim) within a reasonable amount of time. The definition of 'reasonable' will be set out in your policy documents.
Some insurance providers expect to be told within two days, while others will give you two weeks. Stick to whatever your policy states, as not doing so could invalidate any claim you make.
You might decide that you'd be financially better off paying for any repairs yourself. This could be the case if you stand to lose some (or all) of your no claims discount, which could impact on the cost of your insurance at renewal.
And if the repairs to your car are likely to cost less than your excess, your insurance provider will probably expect you to sort out paying for any damage yourself.
Give your insurance provider a call – some of them have dedicated claim lines. Make a note of what you want to say, so that you don't forget to tell them anything. You'll probably be asked to complete a claim form detailing the accident. Include any photos you have as these will back up your statement and show any damage first-hand.
Your insurance provider may ask that you have your car repaired in an approved garage, so don't do anything until you've spoken to them. Getting your car fixed in an unapproved garage could mean your insurance provider decides not to pay out.
If you decide you don't want to make a claim when you tell you provider about an accident, make this very clear and back it up in writing. Send a letter or email stating that the details you're providing are for information only.
If you've been involved in an accident with another vehicle, then you need to exchange details at the scene of the incident. Your insurance provider will need:
- The registration of the other vehicle or vehicles involved - The name, address and phone number of the other driver/s and any witnesses - The insurance details of the other driver/s involved
If a driver of a vehicle isn't the registered keeper, then make sure you have the information for the person who is, as your insurance provider will ask you for these details when you come to claim.
Your insurance provider might also ask you questions about the accident, such as when and where it happened, what time of day it was, what the weather was like and whether there were any roadworks.
If your car has been stolen or vandalised, you'll need to give your insurance provider a crime reference number, which you can get from the police. If you have any photos of the vandalism, it might be helpful to send these too.
Making a claim could affect your insurance. Even if the accident wasn't your fault, if you make a claim and your insurance provider can't recoup all the costs from another driver's insurance provider, your premium is likely to rise as a result of the claim.
And even if you don't make a claim you could see an increase in your insurance. That's because some insurance providers have statistical evidence to show that those drivers who have had an accident (even one that wasn't their fault and they didn't claim for it), are more likely to be involved in another accident later on.
If you've protected your no claims discount, then making a claim shouldn't affect the number of years that contribute to your NCD. However, your car insurance premium could still increase, and that's because your insurance premium is calculated before your NCD is applied. So, if you've had an accident, the basic cost of your premium is likely to go up.
Your NCD is applied after that premium is calculated, so although your NCD discount remains the same, the actual cost of your premium has risen – resulting in an overall increase.
If you haven't protected your NCD, making a claim for an accident that was your fault will certainly affect your NCD years.
At comparethemarket.com, we've made it our business to help you find a deal on your car insurance. Just answer a few simple questions and we'll take it from there – so let's start comparing.

Definition of Indirect rule
Get Babylon's Dictionary & Translation Software Free Download Now!
Indirect rule Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
English Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Indirect rule is a system of government used by the British and French to control parts of their colonial empires, particularly in Africa and Asia, through pre-existing local power structures. These dependencies were often called "protectorates" or "trucial states". By this system, the day-to-day government and administration of areas both small and large was left in the hands of traditional rulers, who gained prestige and the stability and protection afforded by the Pax Britannica, at the cost of losing control of their external affairs, and often of taxation, communications, and other matters, usually with a small number of European "advisors" effectively overseeing the government of large numbers of people spread over extensive areas.

I picked up a flyer for the re-scheduled launch of this yesterday and just remembered I had it. The 'this' in question is the amazingly exciting-looking zine launch/exhibition of the shiny and new WE ARE YOUNG AND WE ARE TRYING: VOLUME ONE. The caps are theirs and they seem justified so I've stuck with them - there will be music, readings, art exhibitioning, book-stalls....the list goes on. Be there to check it out because it looks like there's so much stuff going on that I'll never be able to fit it all into a post.
The launch is at the Deaf Institute on Monday 30th March (yes that's this Monday!) from 8pm onwards, best of all it is '100% free of charge.'
The Young and Trying folk seem genuinely sorry that they had to cancel their previously scheduled launch so don't hold it against them.

Harlingen police confirms arrest of alleged driver in fatal crash
The Harlingen Police Department has confirmed the arrest of the alleged driver in a fatal auto-pedestrian accident that occurred on May 11, according to a news release.
Adrien Salas, 31, of Harlingen was apprehended in Pecos, and is expected to be extradited to Harlingen in the next few days, according to the news release.
Harlingen resident, Natividad "Nati" Chavez, was struck by a silver 2013 Ford Fusion when she was walking across the 1100 block of South 77 Sunshine Strip, according to the news release.
Harlingen police issued an arrest warrant for Salas after video surveillance captured him consuming alcohol at a local restaurant and bar, according to the news release.
"Additional footage captures the suspect vehicle, subsequent crash, and failure to stop and provide aid", according to the news release.
Salas was wanted for intoxication manslaughter, a second-degree felony.

His name might not be as infamous as "Milosevic" or "Saddam," but the fight against impunity claimed another "first" earlier this month. Efraín Ríos Montt, a former Guatemalan general, became the first former Latin American president convicted of genocide and war crimes, extending the long arm of justice to another corner of the world, for at least a moment in time.
It was only a moment, because about a week after Ríos Montt was sentenced to 80 years for the slaughter of nearly 2,000 Ixil people (an indigenous Mayan ethnic group), Guatemala's constitutional court overturned the conviction due to technical issues, in effect, calling for a retrial. This was despite the fact that the earlier ruling found that during his time in power, "Ríos Montt had full knowledge of everything that was happening," including the torture and killing of the Ixil, "and did not stop it."
The former dictator had enjoyed immunity from investigation for nearly 15 years, while he served as a Guatemalan congressman, even though a number of inquiries conducted had found him responsible for atrocities. In 2001, international human-rights organizations filed an application with the Guatemalan Public Ministry to spur an investigation into past crimes. When Ríos Montt lost power — and his immunity — in 2012, the Guatemalan government moved quickly to haul him into court.
In many ways, Ríos Montt's initial conviction was the first step in delivering some sense of justice to the victims of a bloody civil war, where impunity has long-shielded human rights violators from the long arm of the law. And despite this week's setback, it constitutes not only a win for the human-rights advocates in Guatemala, but also for those internationally.
Referring to the initial judgment, David Tolbert, president of the International Center for Transitional Justice, stated, "This was the first time that a former head of state has been tried for genocide in clearly genuine national proceedings . . . [It] . . . shows the importance of justice being done nationally, even when the odds are long. It is a great leap forward in the struggle for justice in Guatemala and globally."
Tolbert speaks from experience. A former deputy prosecutor at the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, he is part of an ever-growing "Hague alumni" community that began with the Slobodan Milosevic prosecution, who are both well informed of the challenges of heads-of-state prosecutions, and aware of their unique role in fighting the impunity that, for most of human history, has been the norm.
Thus, whatever the final result of the Ríos Montt case, the fact that he faced a courtroom trial, at all, is historic, as he is part of a critical international trend that is targeting those heads-of-state who, traditionally, were those most likely to escape justice. Because today, the question is not if another former leader will ever be charged, but rather when, and who is next?
This is a fundamental change in the presumption. For centuries, dictators acted with impunity, perpetrating atrocities without fear of prosecution. But unlike those of us who studied in the 20th century — the next generation will only know a world where such terrible dictators actually do stand trial. Such a presumption will embolden the next generation of leaders to act — and perhaps with time — bring a true end to impunity.
Such an end does not depend on any one trial. When Milosevic died, just months before his trial was to conclude, I was disappointed. But then it occurred to me, the "Butcher of the Balkans," the most powerful man in Yugoslavia, in the end, died in a prison cell, yearning to be free — and arguably changed the arc of history. That is because today, we are not surprised by a trial in Guatemala, nor would a trial in Syria cause shockwaves. And that we are starting to expect justice might be the biggest change of all.
Mark V. Vlasic, an adjunct professor of law and senior fellow at Georgetown University, served on the Slobodan Milosevic prosecution trial team at the U.N. war crimes tribunal. A former White House Fellow to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and adviser to the President's Special Envoy to Sudan, he leads the international practice at Madison Law & Strategy Group.

Lasikplus Laser Eye Surgical Procedure ReviewModern medication sure provides many methods to offer with the poor vision or even to prevent the deterioration of it; from easy issues like wearing the correctional eyeglasses or lenses, to much more advanced healthcare techniques this kind of as the Laser Eye Surgery.
The book obviously describes, in layman's terms how LASIK, PRK and corrective surgeries are carried out and what will be best for your particular eye problem. You will find out if you are a candidate for surgery or not. Likewise, all the dangers, precautions and side effects that you must know are all stated in this book. This book will also give you tips on how you could select the very best surgeon for your process.
Exercise is one trick to improve your vision. You can lie down straight on your back again with your legs somewhat aside. Close your eyes and do inhaling and exhaling concurrently. Hold on the place for 15 seconds. After that, you can focus on the stationary item above your head for a whilst. Close your eyes once more to picture the object you just noticed as if you are still searching at it. Also maintain on the procedure for 15 seconds. Repeat the procedure a number of occasions. It is a great exercise for maintaining your eye muscles elastic and powerful.
The corneal epithelium will heal by itself in a make a difference of days so the healing time of the PRK surgery is only somewhat longer than the Lasik eye surgery. The healing time for PRK can take up to 5 or six times exactly where Lasik is around 2. The bandage cannot be taken off till the healing process is read more done and even after you might be delicate to light for a couple days.
Expect to see extremely nicely after LASIK, but don't expect to see perfectly. Each affected person will get a somewhat various outcome. The best surgeon in the world can't guarantee twenty/20 eyesight. As with any eye laser surgical procedure, outcomes are as individual as each patient. Beware of any physician who guarantees twenty/20 eyesight.
In this newsletters I will display you a various approach. We will use the Yes and. procedure that is the fundamental principle of Improvisational Comedy to diffuse this objection. One of my customers does LASIK Eye surgery and they are not the minimum expensive in their market-by far! Simply because their workers know other surgeon's work is similar-not precisely the exact same, but similar, and less expensive, they had a great deal of difficulty with this 1.
I was anxious for surgery day, but the LasikPlus workers seemed as if they did tons of surgeries every working day and it was no big deal. While the LasikPlus administrative staff was terrible, the doctors had been phenomenal. Make sure you consider down your doctor's quantity so you can contact him or her if you have any questions. The primary numbers won't be useful, but the LasikPlus physicians will be. The doctor answered all of my questions and allayed all of my issues. He were also extremely calming, which was helpful.
Once I'd received the surgical procedure out of the way, the enjoyable starts. I have by no means comprehended the attraction of sunglasses until now. However the first factor I did was purchase myself a great pair of sports activities sun shades that I can use when operating or biking. They have wrap about lenses which indicates my eyes feel well protected when cycling and they have yellow lenses which improves contrast and stops glare when cycling at night. I've always been rather envious of runners with dark sun shades as well as they offer you with the anonymity that you requirements when you are pushing for 7 minute miles.

Anthony l-o-v-e-s this hat. He put it one when he opened it, and hasn't taken it off since...to the extent that he slept in it all night!
I made up the pattern for this one too, an improvement on the last hat (fit wise at least), and I think I have the pattern worked out now! I'll be sure to let you know when I get it posted! The yarn is Jelli Beenz, I normally wouldn't have gone for the acrylic yarn, but I got this yarn a few years ago when I was still scared of wool. It is pretty soft though, and he loves it, so it's all good. I'm considering making him socks with the rest of it, since I got 3 skeins and this only used most of one.
My doodle bugs reading new birthday books this morning. Aren't they just the cutest things? Oh, and in case you couldn't tell, my camera is MIA, so these are from my iphone...I need to get a better camera app!

These days, I don't often get my groceries from the wet market. However, when I do, those visits tend to serve as jolting reminders of where my food originates from.
When one walks through the meat aisles in a supermarket, one sees organized rows of packaged cut meats (with a calm music at the background). In contrast, a similar experience in a wet market would involve loud thuds, cracks and strong stench reaching one's senses. Such 'gory' scenes would have been normal for our ancestors. Not for us. We forget that, in order to get the packaged cut meats, somebody would have to butcher those meats up first.
On a side note, I am not a vegetarian. And, the egg shot is just a bonus.

Just got home from seeing the movie 17 Miracles. It's quite a reminder of what those early handcart companies went through to get to the Salt Lake Valley.
I think it's so hard to portray, in just under 2 hours, what they really suffered and to really get a grasp of it. So few stories can really be told in such a short time. But the movie did a wonderful job of telling the ones they did. Thankfully there is a lot of documentation of those experiences that went on. It amazes me of the faith those Saints had. I often wonder if I could have been as faithful.
While the movie showed some amazing miracles that went on during the journey of those faithful Saints, I wonder how many miracles there are that go on around us everyday that go unnoticed. That thought brought to mind the lyrics to Amy Grant's "Angels Watching Over Me" song:
God only knows the times my life was threatened just today
A reckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way
Near misses all around me, accidents unknown
Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home.
But I know they're all around me all day and through the night.
When the enemy is closing in, I know sometimes they fight
To keep my fight from falling, I'll never turn away
If you're asking whats protecting me, then you're gonna hear me say:
Got His angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angles watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!
Though I never see with human eyes, the hands that lead me home.
How many times have you had a close call with something and realized you had been protected? I know I've had that happen several times. I've almost had to pull over to the side of the road just to catch my breath in realization of what almost happened! But those are the ones we DO notice….. what about the ones we don't know about? Do we take the time to express gratitude for His protection?
I'm grateful for the big and little miracles that I see happening around me. I'm grateful for the reminder to realize that things are happening everyday that I'm unaware of, and that I need to express gratitude for being protected and guided. Thank you to 17 Miracles for the reminder that God still performs miracles in our time. Big and small.
What are the miracles that have happened in your life?
I am Grateful! How are you?

Giles Thorley - Enough already!
Punch said it is "well advanced" with the process of finding a successor and that there will be an "orderly transition". So this was already well known within the Punch structure - interesting that!
"Having grown Punch into Britain's largest pub company, the past two years we have faced the worst recession for a generation and significant structural and political challenges to the industry."
Meaning, having invested heavily in previous years, Giles now leaves the sinking ship which happens to be £3.8bn in debt - with virtually no hope of ever hitting the 'evens-stevens' mark!.
The last 2 years have not been the problem though Giles, the last 32months have! They are the months this business crippling smokeban has been in place-you know the one Giles.
It's the one that you & Ted Tuppen represented the industry at government level but rolled over like 'tickly-tum doggies!
It's the one that guaranteed 68% of your core customers would walk out in disgust. It's the one that you both feared that 'landlocked pubs' might have to close.
It's the one that you lapped up the false promises of 'millions of new clean air customers' would be stampeding the doors.
It's the one that signed the death knell for thousands of pubs & clubs.
It's the one that is crippling the hospitality sector!
While Giles has been reaping vast rewards of position and decision making licensees/tenants have been going bankrupt at an alarming rate, losing their businesses which are also their homes.Many had the pleasure of earning nearly £50 per week for their endeavours!
One couple could not even earn that the week before they closed for ever! Do you remember The Family Tree in Bognor Regis Giles? Do you remember the misery and stress they went through before Peter finally had a massive heart attack and was hospitalised? Do you remember your 'BDM' employing a builder to break in and reclaim the pub - leaving them homeless?
When Punch (& Enterprise) raised no onjection to the implementation of a total indoor smokeban they effectively signed their own death warrants,for this industry will never recover from the onslaught of this legislation. Good solid community pubs are falling like flies as smokers stay away for they simply refuse to enjoy their entertainment in 'shelters' not even deemed fit for pigs. And how much money have tenants had to waste on those less than useless tinpot constructions Giles, only to get less usage than a second hand stamp!
Admiral Taverns have 'released 200 pubs for sale recently. Now why is that Giles/Ted? Perhps it is because they are useless businesses. Perhaps they once flourished as Punch Taverns did. The certainty is that they will no more until all the major players unite and demand the rights we are all afforded under law. Human Rights, Property rights etc.
Chairman Peter Cawdron added: "I would like to thank Giles for his incredible commitment and drive that he has brought to Punch during his time with the business.
His dedication has not waivered during good and bad times and he will leave a business poised to benefit from an improvement in economic conditions."
Committment? Oh yes, committed to destroying our social structure through multiple closures within the Punch empire!
And as for 'leaving a business posed to benefit...' - from what? Aren't words cheap when they suit!
The smokeban has caused the pubco's biggest protection factor to be removed through pending legislation - the Beer Tie. Without the beer tie (sometimd doubling the price of a barrel) pubco's lose their financial safety net. They have one fiesty lady to thank for that little earner going out of the windo - Inez Ward & our sister organisation Justice for Licensees who have cmpaigned tirelessly to get the industry back on track. The beer tie, in truth, was always bubbling away under the surface of discontent but the smokeban exacerbated the problem tenfold! When punters stop attending your bar in their thousands and the beer ceasis to flow, takings plummet yet the bills remain constant. So constant in fact that as soon as the takings don't at least match the expenses pubs are in trouble-bigtime! Mr MicCawber of Dickensian fame springs to mind!
Final thought on the great success of Giles & Punch. Share prices pre ban stood at a proud £13.68p with brokers urging people to buy, buy, buy into the clean air strategy.
Now you can sell, sell, sell at around £0.70p. Very expensive is clean air folks!
Whatever career you move into Giles, please don't make it the pub industry - we do want some left after this government has finished it's evil muck spreading.

Not only did they roll over and die, these dastardly bunch of asswipes, the actively lobbied the government to impliment a total smoking ban rather than the smoking ban lied about on Labour's manifesto. The said the wanted a 'blanked' ban so as to 'level' the playing field! Well they done that alright, now they both, Punch and Enterprise, are stuck in the same 'level' of shit.
Just where they deserve to be, I say.

Ok this is a great battle. I think both have been on a bit of a nice run. I think both are just getting into there own grove of what really makes them successful.
Before watching the battle I will show my bias and say I' think Cortez is better.
Schemes don't do it for me
Round 1
Nice intro with what we gotta speak about
Breaks down the whole Hitman situation
I need NOME I need SM what my man Hit man do offer more bread/
What my man Smack do?I know ..I'm a give it Cortez//
I get them views, They aint call you in two years you gonna depend on who?//
The Kingpen
That depends what kind pens on you/
It's fire in pen vs firing pin//
Those pen bars crazy
Cortez one of the best rappers in battle rap. Dropping some sick lines now
Cortez going in
The K put holes in your clothes... these fashion tips/
Pistol whip him, No I''m not gonna box ya//
Till the all white show like you watching the Oscars/
I'm a crnivore/
I'm a man that went ape forget what Darwin thought/
Holy shit 1st round
This was even better than Cortez vs Charron
Chilla good Cort flips through the round crazy
That Taylor Swift line was meh,,,
hahaha MVP MOST VAULTED PERFORMANCES !!!!
I think Cortez kind of killed this battle.
Round 2
Cortez doing some real talk Chilla not genuine
SOme nice multi flows from Cortez
Cortez seemed to end the round with just random nice writing nothing direct but good lyrics.
That Marylyn Monroe scheme was allot but was impressive
You'll say you work the avenue like a 9-5 is bad to you/
Because you push keys but I hold down shifts to gain my CAPITAL/ Be practical
When you Holla Grams your whole image is see through/
I liked the Incredible scheme still
If you were a bird you'd be vulture/
Transformers has nothing to do with Voltron. You lose points for that line.
Close round even maybe edge to Cortez but pretty equal.
Round 3
Cortez doing his smooth rhyming
Everytime we see Jerome he get suited for cheap
Light round from Cortez
Survival of the fittest
Evolution vs ever loosin/
Chilla went in on some of wordplay.
Chilla got bars but Cortez a better rapper
Close weakest round from both battles
Maybe edge to Chilla
This was a great battle all it was set to be. I give the battle edging to Cortez.
Both killed it. Cortez more well rounded

The fact that you are reading this epitomizes the insatiable force of Curiosity. It is the intangible emotion that you are experiencing right now. It is that same underestimated force that drives humanity's discoveries and innovations — the very same 'thing' that forces you to the end of this sentence. To be exact, being curious about curiosity is called meta-curiosity.
"Ugh, don't be so curious!" I was often told as a kid. Probably because I was getting on my parents' nerves with my constant nosy questioning. "Don't mingle with our grown-up business!" they said. It left me confused. Impatient parents have the harmful habit of killing off the precious gift of innocent curiosity, even before they have had the chance to use it to their full advantage.
How often do you see parents expressing their embarrassments through anger and annoyance? What have the happy toddlers done wrong by running around or throwing things on the ground, trying to get a grip on the laws of physics of this marvellous world that they are in? Shouldn't you be proud that your kid has the curiosity of Einstein?
When I don't understand something completely, I have a strong innate urge to find out more. I only started to realize this recently, but in hindsight that urge has always been with me. Where my classmates memorized multiplication tables or simple arithmetic rules, I questioned them. A lot. One time, my 4th grade teacher told me: "Marc, you are so curious!" My heart started pounding and I probably made a face like I did something terribly wrong. "But don't worry," he said. "It is a good thing."
I was delighted to hear this. Finally, some positive reinforcement for my curiosity. This pat on the shoulder was enough to last a lifetime — I still remember it clearly today. I was lucky. Lucky that I wasn't left alone to fight the innate forces that make us human. I was lucky that my parents were laissez-faire enough for my curiosity to develop. It is curiosity that defines me today.
Being curious about everything and anything led me to choose a diverse degree at university (Computer Science and Economics). A broad degree is curiosity's best play ground. According to the curriculum, one is advised to specialize in their third year in either finance, marketing or logistics. I was curious about them all, so I took them all, for as long as time allowed and even audited completely unrelated classes. Even though I was falling in love with Operations Research in logistics, I was curious enough to give finance a serious try by choosing it as my Bachelor's thesis topic. In hindsight, it was due to the latter that I landed myself an equity trading job in Hong Kong, which in turn satisfied my curiosity of living a glamorous investment banker's life.
Sheer curiosity about my roots, the Chinese language, history and culture is what brought me to do a sabbatical at Tsinghua University, Beijing. Not only did I pick up a language spoken by a quarter of the world population — travelling off-the-beaten-track in China with a diverse group of curious people from all over the world was an enlightening experience.
Curiosity is also why I am in Toronto right now. My wife is Canadian and was one of those curious people I met in Beijing.
Those who have read my previous posts already know that it was due to a curious mind that I am now hooked on Common Lisp and coding. The same invisible force of curiosity also got me learning more about Tai-Chi, meditation, eastern and western philosophy, Chinese Traditional Medicine and physics. One of the most curiosity-satisfying book I ever read is 'The Fabric of the Cosmos' by Brian Greene.
Where is curiosity taking me now? Vancouver. It has been touted 'The most liveable city in the world' by the Economist for many years. What does that mean? That's exactly the right question — I will move there in May 2012 and find out.
Curiosity does not kill the cat. It is impatient parenting or authoritarian teaching that kills curiosity. The only cat that is killed by curiosity is Schrodinger's cat.

Photo Friday: "Rainbow Halo" (Two days early. . .because I can!)
Somehow, last week, when I edited photos for Photo Friday, I skipped over this photo. Again, this photo breaks all rules of exposure mostly because of its blown out highlights. That being said, I LOVE the "painted" bokeh, sun haze, sun rays, and most of all its rainbow sun flare. I was a little unsure of this photo until one of my best digital photography students chose this photo as one of her "favorite" photos on Flickr. As always, critiques are welcomed and encouraged.

Job Opening at Radio Free Asia Khmer Service វិទ្យុអាស៊ីសេរី ជ្រើសរើសបុគ្គលិក
Here in Phnom Penh I listen to Radio Free Asia (RFA) almost every day. It is broadcast from Washington USA. I found out that RFA Khmer service is hiring reporter for a temporary job position. Since the deadline of applying is 13 April 2008 I have about 10 more days to think about in submitting my Curriculum Vitae to Khmer RFA director in Washington America. Although I don't know how much the pay will be for this position, but I thought it would be great to work for RFA. Since RFA is an American organisation, for me that would be my dream job of getting some experience. I would learn the American way of reporting. I once read that news reporting in western worlds is 'non-bias fair and balance on all angles'. To be eligible there are six qualifications RFA is looking for in the potential candidate:
1) HAVE EXPERIENCE IN JOURNALISM, PREFERABLE IN RADIO JOURNALISM: I have no experience in this field whatsoever. I never know what journalism is all about. Here in Srok Khmer I only know one thing about the news. News over hear are all bias. Most news media from newspapers, radios and all TV's stations are controlled by the PM Hun Sen party CPP. So obviously the media are incessantly praising how good PM Hun Sen and the rest of his CCP members are. Furthermore, what I know about journalism here is that if you report anything to make the ruling government not liking you, you could be a target on the government hit list. That's all I know about journalism.
2) HAVE A DEGREE FROM A CREDIBLE UNIVERSITY: I have none. I've never gone to any higher learning schools in all my life. I know university degrees look like. I've seen some from my friends who graduated from NUM, IFL and Panasastra here in Phnom Penh. They look very nice. My self-taught style of the English reading/writing couldn't amount to anything, let alone from a university! I wish I have a university degree. I want a real one though.
Not like the ones PM Hun Sen have got. He got a lot of PhD's . Often time I wonder how many more PhD's Dr. Hun Sen will get for rest of his life time ? With so many degrees he earned already without going to school, his wife Mrs. Bun Rany Hun Sen probably very, very proud of him. Sorry, I'm a little veered off the subject to talk about PM Hun Sen degrees. You see? Now you can tell the writings of a non-university degree is like. Onto the next qualification.
3) SPEAK KHMER AS A MOTHER TONGUE. Yes! This one I qualified. My native tongue is Khmer. I am Khmer 100% in heart and brain! I am very proud to be a Khmer born to Khmer parents from Svay Rieng Province. I can read and write Khmer fluently. In my brain, I think in Khmer then translate to English whatever I want to say. Although my birth Svay Rieng province in bordered right next to Vietnam, I know no 'Tieng Viet'. I don't know Thai either. The only two languages I know are Khmer and English.
4) KNOW KHMER UNICODE. Yes. ខ្ញុំចេះយូនីខូដខ្មែរ ខ្ញុំអាចវាយ word processing ជាភាសា របស់យើង តែមិនអាច វាយ អោយបាន លឿនរហ័ស ណាស់ណាទេ. I know and could type our language Unicode. I maybe not a fast typist, but I could improve this skill very quickly.
5) BE COMPUTER LITERATE. Yes, Windows, word processing and internet including blog publishing. I love MS Word ! I write with MS Word - it automatically check my spelling. That's why you probably notice I don't have much of misspelled words. I don't claimed myself as expert at computer, but I do comfortably know my way around the PC.
6) BE PROFICIENT ESPECIALLY IN READING AND WRITING ENGLISH: Humm….huhhh... I wouldn't say am "proficient", but think myself as "literate" in the English reading and writing. Again, my English is self-styled learned from many English novels. I've learned new vocabulary, grammar and style of writing from these readings. What keeps me going everyday is my passion in readings. I remembered one time during my elementary schooling I didn't read or write for about 2 months during the holiday vacation. When school resumed, I started picking up a pen to write, I couldn't believe my hand was so stiff and slow in writing just simple words. From this experience on, I practice reading and writing regularly. Both of these skills have expanded my way of thinking dramatically.
Now you know where I stand on the qualifications. If you're the RFA director would you hire me? If not, it's OK, I won't feel bad. I would be continuing to write freely as I am right now. But if I am hired, I have one condition to ask. I'd request to send me straight away to my first assignment coverage on PM Hun Sen getting many of his bogus PhD degrees.

It was, therefore, regarded as certain that, should President Diaz die in office, Senor Corral would succeed him without serious difficulty.
Fritz and Royce were watching the mules in a makeshift corral outside the wagons.
He stopped at the end of the corral and leaned on the fence, staring off toward the tree.
View more
A sound caught her attention and she glanced up to see Alex entering the corral on Ed.
Like the way his broad shoulders swayed so gracefully with each step as he strode to the corral - or the way he lounged in a doorway, coffee in one hand, one long leg thrown carelessly over the other.
Six people left the corral that morning.
She raced across the corral and threw herself into his open arms.
Carmen locked the foal in the corral with Princess, Random and Casper.
In 1909 indeed there were some disquieting symptoms. Owing to Diaz's age the vice-presidency had been revived in 1904, and Don Ramon Corral elected to it; but at the elections of 1909 a movement arose in favour of replacing him by General Bernardo Reyes, Governor of Nuevo Leon, but he was disposed of by an official commission to study the military systems of Europe.

BELLE CITY Schooner, ashore at Point au Pelee, November 1866. Property loss, hull $200 cargo $1,000
Casualty List for 1866---Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser, Feb. 26, 1867
. . . . .
BELLE CITY Schooner of 168 Tons, owned at Detroit by Morgan & Co. Bound from Saginaw to Cleveland went ashore at Point au Pelee November 1866. Loss to ship $500 no insurance
Marine Casualties on the Great Lakes
1863-1873 U. S. Coast Guard Report
. . . . .
TWO VESSELS ASHORE. - Capt. W.J. Dell, owner of the schooner BELLE CITY, of Lakeport, arrived here yesterday with the intelligence he had just left his vessel ashore on the east side of Point au Pelee. The BELLE CITY loaded at Detroit a few days since with a cargo of hoops for the Onondaga Salt Company, of Oswego. On the dark and stormy night of Saturday, at 11 o'clock, he was deceived out of his course by the sight of a propeller that had left the mouth of the river, but had put back for safety. After being driven up on the beach some distance, the vessel was scuttled to prevent going further. Mr. Dell returned to the scene of the wreck, with the tug RELIEF and scows, in the hope of getting her off. As she lies in a very exposed situation, the chance of so doing, is doubtful.
He reports another vessel ashore two miles below, the name of which he could not ascertain, but she lies high and dry.

SCHOONER BELLE CITY. - This vessel, which went ashore on Saturday night at Point au Pelee, has been got off, and arrived here yesterday morning. She fell in with the gale off Rond Eau, and had part of her deck load swept overboard, obliging her to run back for harbor, and while so doing mistook a propeller's light for the Dummy. In attempting to haul up, after discovering the error, she struck the beach. She was got off without outside aid, and the greater portion of her cargo saved. The vessel was uninjured. - Det.
