Structural Geology
This study presents a regional structural analysis and a stratigraphic study in Hidalgo and Querétaro states, east-central Mexico, where strata of the Sierra Madre Oriental foreland fold-and-thrust belt are structurally juxtaposed against Middle (?) and Upper Jurassic back-arc sequences.
Rocks of the San Juan de la Rosa Formation were apparently affected by major compressive deformation during the Early Cretaceous (Nevadian?) and Laramide orogenies. Toward the east, the style of deformation is that of a typical foreland fold-and-thrust belt, whose major thrust faults are located at the Zimapán Basin margins flanked by the El Doctor and Valles-San Luis Potosí carbonate platforms. Below the El Doctor thrust, at least seven thrust faults are exposed that crosscut the middle Cretaceous rocks and the enveloping Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous and Upper Cretaceous marly shaly beds in the form of a duplex.
The style of deformation between the two carbonate platforms is probably thin-skinned. Speculative, semibalanced cross sections indicate an average shortening between the Zimapán Basin margins of 39.4% of its initial width. Depth to the sole thrust is estimated to be about 2000 m below the present sea level.

One of these years I'm going to learn how to stop being so damned smug. Either that or the universe is just going to keep smacking me in the head every once in a while, especially when I'm so obviously asking for it.
I just couldn't stop talking about what a pleasant baby Bo is. How happy he is all the time. How even with the reflux, he's still bubbly and giggly and how he'll projectile vomit and then laugh. My baby is the best baby in whole wide world. So there.
Right. Except for the screaming.
We took Bo to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month checkup* - he'll be 11 weeks old on Thursday - and during our conversation I asked for tips on how to make bath time easier. I think my exact words were how to make it not a living nightmare. Because, seriously**. The doctor suggested switching bath time to the mornings if we find that Bo is in a better mood. I said that might be a good idea since Bo is a miserable, screaming disaster from about 6 - 9pm every night and he said yeah, that's colic.
Colic. When I'd been mouthing off all over the place about how my boy is so great and do babies even get colic anymore? What the hell is colic anyway? Bam. Here's some colic. Shut up smug lady.
It's so sad, the screaming, and there's nothing I can do about it. He just screams and screams, his little tongue curled back in his mouth and his face all red. He screams so hard he stops making any sound and then coughs and hacks and screams some more. He screams so hard he makes his skin all blotchy for hours afterward. I walk him and talk to him in low tones and sing to him and do that obnoxious shushing noise but there's really nothing to do but wait until he feels better. Sometimes he'll rip a few killer farts and that helps. Yesterday and today we had scream fests in the morning too. Today he did not take one nap that lasted more than an hour.
And then I get scared. Today he wore himself out screaming but he wasn't sleeping. He was just sitting in his swing and sort of staring into space, without really blinking, which was totally freaking me out. Then he fell asleep and I couldn't leave him sleep in the swing because he just looked so strange; the look on his face was not one I'd ever seen before and it was unsettling and I get scared when I see things like that because the specter is always there. The specter of SIDS that never fully leaves my consciousness. So instead of leaving him nap in his swing I picked him up and stretched him out on my chest to nap. I wasn't going to get any laundry done that way but I would be able to feel every breath he took and thereby keep breathing myself.
I know it's upsetting for him too because he just wants to be held. He will not be put down when he's awake on a day when he's feeling especially screamy. Interestingly, today he was fine as long as he could see me. He was cool in his swing while I puttered around and fought the never ending war against animal hair (tumbleweeds of pet hair blow across your path around here) , but as soon as I was out of sight, the bottom lip would poke out and the whimpering would start. He cat napped in his bassinet this afternoon while I fought the Ikea dresser from hell one more time but again, as soon as I was out of his line of sight, instant whining. He'll tolerate the sling but he has to be in the mood for it, and that hasn't been recently.
It's exhausting and there are moments when I think I may actually go insane if the screaming doesn't stop Right. This. Minute. It's not the noise. I'm impervious to the noise. It's the fact that there's nothing I can do and he's so upset and I can't fix it for him and he can't tell me what's wrong. There are days when I want to hand Bo off to Frank as soon as he gets home from work because I just need a damn minute to maybe walk around the block and regroup. But it's not like Frank just came home from a day at the beach and it's not fair to thrust a screaming, writhing boy into his arms when he's just getting home from a long day of his own.
It's not the worst case in the world. He doesn't cry for consecutive hours. He takes breaks and short naps - because he wears himself the hell out - and he's still cheerful and happy and smiley. He still smiles and gurgles at me when he wakes, even if he screamed himself to sleep twenty minutes earlier. And he's still the best baby in the whole world, colic and reflux be damned.
* For those of you keeping score, Bo came in at 15lbs 7oz and 25 inches long. He's a frickin' moose. All of his development is right on track and he's even a little ahead of the game in that he's already recognized himself in the mirror and cracks himself up making faces and talking to himself. Because he's a genius.
** I may never bathe this child again. Today I decided to take advantage of his very cheerful mood to give him his first bath since last Wednesday. Frank was all ready with the video camera and as soon as Bo's foot touched the water, it was over. The screaming and the writhing began. If Bo had better motor skills he would launch himself right out of his whale of a tub, I'm sure. This screaming really gets me because I'm doing it to him and I'm causing him to be that way. It's so not worth it.
How dirty could he possibly be getting anyway?
My boy doesn't actually have freaky colorless eyes without pupils. It was either this or red, demon eyes. This is the best I could do with the red eye reduction tool. His eyes are still the dark, crystal blue they were at birth.

bathing is overrated.
the wipedowns are where it's at.
and my aunt told me that the only way she could make it thru the screaming with my colicky cousin was to look at the clock and actually time the screaming so you know your child isn't in endless agony.
it's true. what seemed like a lifetime with Jake was really only 10 minutes at a time usually

He is a hoss! But adorable. Sorry about the colic that stinks. Harper does the no noise crying followed by hacking too. It's weird.

Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis (IGH) is a benign and asymptomatic skin manifestation characterized as diffuse hypopigmented macules, or white spots. The size of the lesions varies from 1-10mm, but are most commonly 1-3 mm in diameter. It is most commonly seen in fair-skinned individuals and appears to be related to cumulative sun exposure rather than just age. Interestingly, this condition manifests in women earlier than men, probably because their legs are more exposed. However, as age increases the incidence of IGH in women and in men is the same. IGH can also be seen in older dark-skinned individuals, but usually at more advanced age. The distribution of IGH can be seen along most exposed areas of the body. These include areas of the arms, legs, upper back, and face. Lesions are usually seen first along the anterior portion of the legs and then seen on the arms, back and face.

Step right up...It's Circus Time! We had a great weekend. Rustin's big brother came and spend the weekend with us and we went to the circus. Rustin rode his very first camel and elephant. Jeremy claims this is his first too but that is so not true. We took him when he was little but he doesn't remember which makes you think about all the money you spend on making memories with your kids and half of it they wont even remember. ha! Anyways we had fun.

La Vie En Rose
That's right! You guessed it! The next movie I received from Netflix was "La Vie En Rose". This was a long and beautiful film, indeed. To talk about this movie, you can't ignore the musical genius that was Edith Piaf. As well, the actress Marion Cotillard blew me away. If ever there was a movie where an actor or actress had to portray a person who once existed, this has got to be the most accurate performance besides say Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles, that I've seen.
Here's footage of a live performance of Edith Piaf from 1954 singing "La Vie En Rose":
And here's the trailer for the film:
Absolutely beautiful story translated in film. Marion Cotillard won the Academy Award for her performance.
If I had stars....ok 5, it gets 5. End of story. Watch it, ya damn lazy American. Read them subtitles and enjoy it. Culture in yo face!

Well, I wish I had a pic or two to show. But I don't. I haven't really knit on Margaux since last week. The back is done. The front is done up to the part where you split for the vneck, whilst continuing the sleeve decreases/pattern, whilst beginning the v-neck cable pattern.
I don't have the brain power for this right now. I can't count. Not in any recognizable order. Or, not in any kind of order. I can't keep track of three different things right now. I'm having massive inabilities to concentrate very long on anything. I feel it's best to wait till I have a huge block of time, to sit and just get thru this part. And really, it's the last part to get thru. After this, the sweater just needs two side seams sewn and I think a little edging along the neck – this would take a reasonably sane, un-preoccupied person oh, a couple of hours. Me? 2 weeks. Really. I might as well go with the Money Pit (the movie) concept of time right now. Because, we are also waiting on new plans for the house. The architect did say "by the end of the week". Is that also Money Pit time? Did he really mean a lot longer than that? And the septic repair guy? He also said "sometime this week" and, well, that was LAST WEEK. And most of this week – and…
there is still a hole in my front yard. Granted, it is not the huge hole that was there for the addition that shall not be named, but it is a hole of enough size to injure anyone who doesn't know the hole is there. Now, you might be asking, well, if they don't know the hole is there, why are they near the hole? Hey, you never know. WE know it's there. And Me? I'm still working on the misguided thought that we can still get this "addition" moving along before the winter cold sets in. Which should be in about 2 weeks, according to the way things are going for us right now. After all, the Farmers Almanac says it's going to be a Baaaad winter.
So, that's the problem with the knitting. And the not being able to count in order to do the knitting. I guess I should just work on something that doesn't need to be that involved, but I can't even get myself to decide on that. See, the decision making part of me just isn't working. I believe it may be on strike.

By Auther of Mario Manningham Facebook Fan Page - InReeseWeTrust.com 12/13/11
The New York Football Giants pulled out a spectacular win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday December 11th. With eight lead changes, Big Blue hung in there and proved that they deserve to be NFC East champions. With this victory, the G-men improve their record to 7-6 and rise up to 1st place in the division (tied with Dallas). Now, there are many improvements the Giants need to make, the majority of them will occur on defense. Even though we scored 37 points against the Cowboys, giving up 34 isn't going to get us though the playoffs. In week 15, the G-Men will host the 4-9 Washington Redskins. Certain players will have to bring their A-game in order for the Giants to increase their win streak to two.
To begin with, DE Justin Tuck has been invisible for the past couple of games and is having a weak season. Tuck only has 24 tackles and 3 sacks in 14 games, when Jason Pierre-Paul has 61 tackles and 12.5 sacks. The former Notre Dame star is clearly being outplayed and is starting to become a disappointment and a question mark to a ton of fans. His performance was so horrendous against Dallas; he didn't even make it on the defensive stats list. There could be an injury that is causing his performance to plummet, but a superstar like him shouldn't be struggling either way. Tuck needs to assist his teammates on the rest of the D-line and force pressure on Redskins QB Rex Grossman. We all know Justin is capable, he just has to pursue.
Moving onto the secondary, S Antrel Rolle has to learn how to backup his talk by performing on the field. Rolle has 77 tackles and 1 interception on the year which isn't too shabby, but could be more impressive. It seems like Antrel winds up in the NFL news every week because of something he has said about an opponent, or even his own team. The Giants signed him prior to the 2010 season so he could be a difference maker and possibly be the answer to the complications in the secondary. The former Hurricane has made some outstanding plays for the G-Men thus far, but he has also struggled with tackling, covering, and finding the football. The Redskins have speedy receivers and tough running backs; therefore it is imperative that Rolle is aggressive and wise. It's his time to shine and make some game-changing plays.
The only offensive player chosen this week will be wide receiver Mario Manningham. Of course it's simple to say Manningham is having a disappointing season, but it's only because his teammate Victor Cruz is on the field more. Mario currently has 36 catches for 466 yards and 4 touchdowns while Nicks and Cruz have over 1,000 yards a piece. The former Wolverine has been slowed down by a few injuries this season (concussion, ankle, and knee). The receiver hasn't had a 100-yard game all season, but is dependable for the most part. He will have the occasional drop, but that's part of the NFL and making errors. Manningham's contract expires after this season so it's relevant for him to play his heart out. We all need Manningham to step up against Washington in week 15 so we can secure our division lead and work our way to the playoffs. Mario has the talent, he just needs to stay healthy and focus on his game.
In summary, DE Justin Tuck, S Antrel Rolle, and WR Mario Manningham are the key players for week 15 when the Giants face the Washington Redskins. A solid performance from each of them will give us a larger chance to become victorious. Talent is not the question when it comes to these players; all they have to do is perform and contribute to the team as much as they possibly can. Look for Manningham to have a breakout game being that he's healthy again and the Redskins may cover Nicks and Cruz tight the entire day. With a Giants victory, their record will improve to 8-6 and they will remain in first place. Go Giants!!!

I'm sitting in a nicely air-conditioned booth at an internet shop in Siem Reap. We just finished dinner. I had a seafood curry with shrimp, fish and octopus. It was somewhat spicy, and served in a traditional clay pot. It was delicious.
We spent the first 6 hours of our day on the road in our bus from Battambang. The first hour or so was fine -- the roads were paved, and bad by American standards, but not bad for Cambodia. The next few hours were awful. Dusty dirt roads, rickety wooden bridges, bump-bump-bump all the way. I rarely get motion sickness, but this trip left even me a little nauseated. Perhaps I haven't recovered fully from my earlier sickness.
After we arrived in Siem Reap, we ate lunch and visited a New Life Church. Then we headed to Angkor, the ancient city which once served as capital for the Khmer empire, which once held sway over most of Southeast Asia. First, we visited Angkor Thom, and saw the massive limestone faces of the Bayon. We walked around in the 95 degree heat for about an hour, took hundreds of photos and headed back to the bus.
Next, we drove to the famed Angkor Wat, the pinnacle of classical Khmer temple architecture, one of the largest religious complexes anywhere in the world, and one of Asia's greatest archeaological treasures. I've seen it before, but I was still stunned by its majesty as I walked over the moat, through the outer entrance and then through the massive inner gate.
Angkor Wat's soaring towers must have made quite an impression on an ancient pilgrim, traveller, or supplicant to the court of the Khmer god-kings (as they fancied themselves). A few thoughts crossed my mind as I wandered around and inspected the massive towers, the dizzying stairs and the intricate bas reliefs. I thought about how many people must have lost their lives in slave labor to build this amazing place some 800 years ago. I thought about the hubris of empires who think themselves eternal and unconquerable. I thought about the vain beauty and worthless faith of the millions of people who followed Satan's lies then and now.
I also thought about how WE as believers are God's masterpiece, his eternal temple made of living stones that will never be brought to ruin. As I walked past the old, old Buddhas with their missing heads and limbs, I thought about the absurdity of burning incense for luck and praying to stone idols, who, even if they had mouths left, could not speak a word of wisdom.
Truly our God is an awesome God. To be a stone in his temple is honor enough. To be a joint heir, a loved son, vested in the family business is almost too much to bear.
Well, tomorrow morning at 5:30, we leave via fast boat to Phnom Penh. I'll try to post pictures then.

Five easy steps to avoid misunderstandings.
Encouraging routine strategic thinking may be the most important thing you can do as a leader. It's not an easy skill to teach or learn, because it is as much a mindset as a set of techniques – but it's not impossible – especially if you apply a simple 5-step conversation model. One key is to ask powerful discovery questions. Using this 5-step conversation model consistently will reinforce a common conversation approach at all levels in the organization. Consider these ways to cultivate strategic thinkers (since they often make the most highly effective leaders):
- Encourage people to ask "why" and "when." Consistently asking these whenever a course of action is being considered enables people to fully understand the goal it aims to achieve and its impact.
- Have managers set aside time for strategic planning discussions. Make it a regular part of their job, and connect them with mentors who excel…

Mont Valérien is the site of a fortress built in 1841 that sits high on a hill just outside of Paris on the west edge of town. It was occupied by German troops during WWII and was used as an execution site. Over 1000 resistance fighters and hostages were executed by firing squad here. The men were brought in trucks from other prisons in the area, held for a short time in a small chapel on the site, then marched to a clearing in the woods, shot, and their bodies taken away for anonymous burial in cemeteries throughout the city. Only men were brought here. Women who were condemned to death were sent to Germany to be executed.
|Prisoners were held here while waiting to be executed.
|This is one of only three photos that exists of the executions.
|Flowers mark the site of execution posts in the center of the photo
|Trucks carrying bodies for burial left through this gate.
|Entrance with bas relief sculptures and eternal flame
After the war, General de Gaulle designated the site as a war memorial.

Latitude Zero (1969)
today- or tomorrow, really, celebrates the release of this wild and wonderful movie. I never saw it growing up- not even on the celebrated KWGN Channel 2. it wasn't until 1989 that I saw it on Channel 31, late night, and they aired it twice in about a month.
it's full of gadgets, cool ships and monsters, plus it's all in English.
I would have loved it as a kid. I remember my cousin Todd telling me about it, describing the gloves with all the powers they had in them. and of course the pictures in Famous Monsters #114 were cool as well. I greatly enjoy it now, and knowing all the back story behind the movie makes me amazed it even got made.
I'm still more astounded it got a legit R1 DVD release here in this country.

That R1 release was even more amazing when you consider it had only just been released in Japan a couple of years earlier!
I had forgotten Toho had done an English version of the trailer. Somewhat different than the U.S. one.

and that they thought the rights would never get cleared up for a release. so glad it did though.
I didn't watch it all the way through at first, so I thought it was the US trailer.

On the way we stopped at a great little playground at Port Germein and had lunch in Port Augusta (which we expected to be way bigger than it actually was!) We also echoed hundred's of travellers sentiments when we said "Thank God for Spud's!" (Spud's Roadhouse, between Port Augusta and Glendambo. Only petrol for miles... and miles and miles.) Although this was a super long day in the car, it was quite exciting to see the landscape changing, becoming scrubbier and sparser and the colours of the land slowly reddening. It finally felt like we were somewhere different, on our way to our goal!
Glendambo was an amazing stop. A population of 30, two petrol stations, a motel, pub and caravan park on the highway. That was it. No water to hook up to, just power. And no grassed sites of course, just dirt! But it had a lot of character and for Leon, the pub was the winner! It had an open fire, beautiful meals (the kids chips and nuggets looked like they were being presented on Masterchef. Although the same can't be said for the 'bowl of ice cream and topping' that was complementary with the meals - a frozen and defrosted once too many times Dixie cup with the lid removed and a blob of topping on top!)
Trying to break up the days a bit, we planned a slow one for today. Only about 2 and a half hours driving, from Glendambo to Coober Pedy. This was the first part of the trip without mobile phone reception, which concerned me slightly. The highlight of this drive for the kids was finally seeing some road kill! Yes, apparently my kids are sick deviants who want to see dead animals. Cooper was actually in tears the day before because Leon had seen a dead roo at the side of the road and not pointed it out! So today, we hadn't been driving long when Leon spotted a kangaroo who had met an untimely end and pulled over. The kids hopped out very excitedly, leaving me in the car shaking my head in shame. I don't think they were too impressed with what they saw - Imogen definitely doesn't want to see one again and Cooper says he doesn't really mind either way but probably not! Maybe there is some hope for them after all!
We are staying the night at the Stuart Range Caravan Park. It's got an almost stadium like set up, with the playground, undercover bbqs and toilets in the centre and then the camp sites laid out in rings around them. Because we got here nice and early today, we got a prime position in the front row! After we'd set up the van we headed into town. Very dusty, dry and dirty (to use some alliteration for the day). But very interesting, seeing all the buildings set into the underground. After some lunch (John's Pizza Bar - he's on Facebook!) we visited 'The Old Timers Mine' which was an old opal mine rediscovered in the 60's and set up as a museum now. It was very interesting, Cooper in particular loved it.
Tomorrow we hope to cross another border and stay at Erldunda, NT. This should be our last stop before hitting Uluru! The kids are very excited about being so close. I'm pretty excited about being able to set up and spend more than one night somewhere! The caravan has been so fantastic so far but I feel like we haven't been using it much, will be great to really test it out over a 5 night stay!
Extra Notes from Leon: The showers at Coober Pedy require 20 cent coins for every 3 minutes. And you can't put in 60 cents at once and get 9 minutes! You have to put money in when in runs out again! Also, now would be a good time to stock up on any alcohol, should you be heading towards Uluru (see uluru post as to how expensive beer is!).

Sometimes I'm in the mood to paint. Other times, not so much. This was a case of not really being in the mood to paint for a while, because I knew that these might take a little while. But, I finally sat down and got them done.
Meet the bugbears. Distant cousins to goblins and hobgoblins, these creatures are an odd combination of humanoids, goblins, and some furry creatures (most-likely bears, I suppose). Originally created as a way to scare naughty children or to keep them from running off into the woods by themselves, these guys are most-certainly not your friends.
To paint them, I started with the eyes and mouth, as usual. Getting those done to avoid having to be super-careful after painting the fur. I gave them large pupils, since it seemed scarier.
Then I moved on to the fur. Normally, I have a standard brownish color that I use. But, since they have leather armor, I didn't want to use that. It would blend too much with the armor. So, I added a hint of red to make it stand out. I really like how it turned out.
This is where I took a long break. I had finished the face and fur, but I just didn't feel like finishing them off. They've sat for weeks, just taunting me. I finally sat down the past couple of days to get them done.
Next up, I took on the armor. I wanted some contrast, so I chose to make some armor pieces black and others brown. I also used black for some trim edges on the armor. In this case, I used my standard brown mixture for the armor. (A 1:1 ratio of RMS Harvest Brown and RMS Armor Grey.) I also took a moment to paint their spiked clubs or maces, or whatever those things are. I used my standard brown and added a touch of white to lighten it a tad for variation against the armor color.
To wrap things up, I painted the… loin cloths?… and the center spots on the shoulder pads, making them different colors. Since I plan to use these for D&D, I wanted to make them different for tracking hit points during combat. Then, I did the metallic areas and the studs in the armor. I also dry-brushed light metallic highlights on the peaks around the weapons. And lastly, I dry-brushed fur highlights and added base material.
Another set of minis down! On to the next batch.

Sources: CNN Financial Times
China and Pakistan have agreed to cooperate on various fronts: military, economics, trade, energy, and anti-terrorism. Chinese president Hu Jintao and the Pakistani leader General Pervez Musharraf outlined a "30-point joint statement," which included an increased effort to boost trade, military cooperation, regional instability, etc. Most importantly, this visit and cooperation agreement assures that China is abandoning a traditional rival as China and India have begun to build a relationship. Hu stated in a national address that China's relationship with Pakistan are "higher than the Himalayas." On the Pakistani side, a notable leader stated: "If there is one country in the world that Pakistan trusts completely, it's got to China. Pakistan is anxious to build up ties with China, which it sees as the world's most important ascending political, military, and economic power."
China agreed to assist Pakistan in its efforts to continue its nuclear program—somewhat in an affront to the United States who has recently made similar agreements with long-time Pakistani rival, India. However, Hu pledged to help the nuclear power Pakistan resolve its longstanding conflict with India, especially over the Kashmir region.
Moreover, the trade agreements are projected to boost bilateral economic activity to at least $15 billion—a threefold increase from current levels of trade.
Finally, China and Pakistan have embarked upon some ambitious defense agreements. The two nations have been working on a joint fighter aircraft—known as the FC-1 (in China) or the JF-17 (in Pakistan). Furthermore, the two countries have embarked on a "joint development airborne early warning and control system" aircraft, as well as develop a "state of the art Defense Electronics Complex," to be run jointly run by Pakistani and Chinese defense groups.
Question: With growing US cooperation with Pakistan on military/anti-terrorism affairs, how may these new agreements between Pakistan and China, the greatest "threat" to US economic superiority, affect cooperation between the US and Pakistan?

China defends gasfield activity in East China Sea
Posted on 2 August 2017 - 03:40pm
BEIJING: China on Wednesday defended its oil and gas activity in the East China Sea as occurring in areas "indisputably" under its jurisdiction, after Japanese protests stirred a longstanding dispute over the region.
The two countries both claim islands in the East China Sea controlled by Japan, which knows them as Senkaku, and regularly send ships to nearby waters to assert their claims amid repeated diplomatic clashes.
Talks between Tokyo and Beijing begun in June 2008 to cooperate over oil and gas resources in the area broke down two years later amid rising tensions, and have not resumed.
On Tuesday, Japan's top government spokesperson Yoshihide Suga told reporters it was "extremely regrettable that China is unilaterally continuing its development activity" by stopping mobile drilling ships near the median line separating the two countries' exclusive economic zones (EEZ).
He added that Japan lodged a protest late last month after noticing the activity but did not specify what exactly the Chinese ships were doing.
"China's oil and gas activities in the East China Sea are all located in maritime areas indisputably under Chinese jurisdiction," China's foreign ministry told AFP in a statement, adding: "The so-called issue of 'unilateral exploitation' does not exist".
The gas field under the joint development agreement lies in an area where both countries' EEZs overlap.
Japan says the median line between the two nations should mark the limits of their respective EEZs.
But China insists the border should be drawn closer to Japan, taking into account the continental shelf and other features of the ocean.
China's foreign ministry said it rejected the idea of a median line between Japan and China, calling it "Japan's unilateral proposition".
Chinese drilling ships were last spotted near that line in October 2016, Kyodo News and the Sankei Shimbun daily reported.
So far, China has built 16 drilling platforms on its side near the median line, the Asahi Shimbun reported.
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump offered reassurances the US would come to Japan's defence if China were to seize the uninhabited Senkaku islets, which it calls Diaoyu.
In a joint statement with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in February, the pair said they "oppose any unilateral action that seeks to undermine Japan's administration of these islands". — AFP

Standing for Widewater
My name is Richard Aulton and I am the Labour Party Candidate for Adur District Widewater Ward in the May election. I have lived in Lancing since 2007 and as an active Labour Party member have contributed to the joint campaign against the New Monks Farm Development in its proposed form and the closure of Lancing PO.
Prior to retirement I was a DWP staff member and Health and Safety representative. My experience shows people claim benefits for reasons that include redundancy, sickness, child care, elderly care, relocation, unfair dismissal and homelessness. I am opposed to PIP assessments and Universal Credit and believe Food Banks are an indictment of Conservative austerity.
I am standing as Labour Candidate for Lancing's Widewater Ward as I believe Adur District Council should be a more balanced, less Conservative body; representative of needs and issues relevant to Lancing residents struggling to provide for their families while locked in a tightening economic spiral. Labour councillors offer fresh ideas on housing, open spaces and community needs.
Our transparent and energetic policies are aimed at reducing child poverty, avoiding homelessness, eliminating avoidable deaths of the elderly (Adur is a national high spot), improving air quality and planning infrastructure for the next generation.
As an elected Councillor I will represent your issues and opinions to both the Parish and District Council in a positive and ethical manner.
I will support the conservation elements of Widewater and its contribution to wildlife and the local economy and engage with the community with regard to air quality, parking and street maintenance, anti-social behaviour, disruptive neighbours, graffiti and in monitoring the implications and impact of the proposed new building development at New Monks Farm and other redevelopments.
In Sussex the Tory tide is receding while the Labour wave is gathering pace, we offer hope and energy.
Tory policies based on a myth of competency are locally and nationally bankrupt and these local elections provide an opportunity for local voters to express their political preferences to Vote for the Many not the Few!
For the good of Lancing and of United Kingdom Vote Labour, Vote Richard Aulton on 3rd May.

- I used 3 different circle size punches from my cache of tools to punch out the flower centres in WW;
- emboss the VV card stock with the Finial Press embossing folder;
- use dimensionals to adhere the WW layer to the NQN mat so that you can lace the grosgrain ribbon in between these layers instead of underneath the NQN mat. TTFN

Last weekend I hit the jackpot when I went thrift store shopping and I even had pumpkin (my 4yr old) in tow. We started our outing by going to Habitat Hand Me Ups, but nothing appealed to me that wasn't already sold. Then I went to this place that from the outside it looks like Sandford and Son's junk yard exploded called Everything But Grannies Panties. Needless to say I decided to stop and take a look around, boy am I glad that I did. I purchased an Apothocary jar for $1.50, 6 curtain panels with bedskirt and pillow shams for $2.50 and the accent table that I desperately "needed" to put in my living room for $60 dollars (including delivery). Pumpkin and I went home and got to work washing and drying the curtains, hanging my rods that I got the previous weekend from a yard sale and clearing out all the toys for my new table. Here is the finished result: I HATE these drapes good thing I only paid @2.50 cause they are going on the next yard sale that I have. They are way too busy and tropically for the room, but I LOVE my new table and the possibilites that I have to decorate it.
After lurking on The Nester's blog, I decided to try my hand at a new window treatment in the kitchen. I used 6 dishtowels that I purchased at a yard sale, two cafe rods and some clearance drapery clips from Tarjay. Whatcha think?
Heres a closer view
It's coming along slowly but surely. I have so many more projects on my list. I am having a yardsale this weekend with my mom, so I will "shop" her stuff to see what I come home with and will let you know.
