Anger mounts over new wind farm threat

The boundary of the Cairngorms National Park is becoming a magnet for wind farm developments, destroying some of Scotland’s most spectacular rugged landscapes, according to campaigners.

They claim as many as nine wind farms could be constructed within a short distance on one another, on the northern edge of the park, if current plans come to fruition.

There are already major wind farms at Farr and Paul’s Hill by Ballindalloch and there are plans in the pipeline for similar large-scale developments at Carn Duhie by Dava Moor; Glenkirk by Tomatin; Berryburn by Dunphail; Tom nan Clach near Drynachan, and Dunmaglass in the Mondhliaths.

In addition, there are applications for anenometers, which are used to measure wind speed and often act as precursors to wind farm proposals, on land owned by Dunachton Estate, near Kincraig, and at Balavil Estate, Kingussie.

Prompting the proliferation on the boundary is the Cairngorm National Park’s policy to reject any plans for major renewable projects such as wind farms within its boundaries, although their stance has yet to be challenged.

Campaigner Jeannie Munro (54) is leading the drive to “Save our Dava” and protect historic Lochindorb, whose loch boasts a castle which was once home to the infamous Wolf of Badenoch.

She and other Dava residents are battling plans for a wind farm by Renewable Energy Systems (RES) about nine miles north of Grantown, in two two-mile arcs around Cairn Duhie. The overall height of the 15 turbines from blade to tip could be 100 metres.

Ms Munro said: “Looking out from the foothills of Lochindorb, the skyline along the top of the ridges would be dominated by wind farms at Tom nan Clach, Glenkirk, Cairn Duhie, Berryburn and Paul’s Hill.”

As well as the 28 tubines opened by Fred Olsen, of shipping giant fame, last May at Paul’s Hill, a further 126 turbines are proposed in the four developments.

“Money-grabbing developers are raping our most cherished landscapes and this is only the start,” said Ms Munro.

“Generations of my family have lived in the Dava and I cannot just sit by and watch our greatest asset be destroyed for an unreliable and exceeding expensive source of power. Wildlife, peat bogs, the tranquility will be decimiated.”

There are resident populations of capercaillie in the woodland by Loch Kirkcaldy, which forms part of the proposed site, and Auchindare Woods just half-a-mile away, according to Ms Munro. Golden eagles and wildcats are found in nearby Glenkirk.

Fellow Dava campaigner Roy Hewett said: “The Scottish Executive are sacrificing our landscapes for political expediency to meet renewable commitments which have not been thought through properly.

“I feel that we are being conned and we are getting no help from the very people who should be assisting us ““ Scottish Natural Heritage, the RSPB and Historic Scotland.

“We are getting nowhere with these agencies who are suppose to be the guardians of Scottish heritage.”

RES have stated that a formal planning application could be submitted to Highland Council in the summer and come on-line in 2010.

Strathdearn Against Windfarm Developments are opposing the Glenkirk and other similar proposals on the nothern boundary of the national park.

The park authority has already registered an objection on the grounds of “adverse visual impact” on the national park; potential impact on the economy and the possible precedent the development would create for further wind farms being located close to the park’s boundary.

Spokesman for the objectors, Pat Well, said: “Opposition is increasing to the application by multi-national developer Eurus Energy UK Ltd to build their large wind farm at Glekirk ““ the high moors south east of Tomatin and overlooking Strathspey and the Dava. If approved this power station will dominate the view on the northern boundary of the Cairngorms National Park.

“More people are beginning to question the ‘green credentials’ of these large developments as the massive quantities of ancient peat dug out for roads and turbine foundations dries out to release tonnes of climate-changing carbonb dioxide and methane.

“The thousands of lorry journeys made during construction add to the harmful emissions. A wind farm proposal on the edge of the Lake District National Park was recently refused. Objectors calculated that it would take 16 years for the turbines to redeem the carbon dioxide generated during construction.”

Mrs Wells continued: “Local opposition to another windfarm in the Tomatin area is based on a variety of reasons, not least of which is the unexpected noise from the Farr windfarm ““ noise which disturbs a significant number of residents.

“Many people feel that the negative impacts from one wind farm in the area is enough. The cumulative effect of these giant power stations situated on unspoilt Highland skylines in unacceptable and must be recognised as such.

“The visual impact of these hill-top turbines visibile from homes, tourism businesses and beauty spots and to the many millions of travellers using the A9 and other roads in Strathdearn, Strathspey, Dava and Lochindorb areas is of serious concern.

“In addition, a considerable number of people are worried about the economic effects on tourism businesses, fishing and sporting interests and property values.”

Strathdearn Against Windfarm Developments said they have serious concerns over the consultation process for developments for wind farms being proposed for the boundary of the Cairngorms National Park. “Most people live busy lives and may be unaware of developments until the bulldozers begin to roll by which time it is too late,” said Mrs Wells.

Local MSP Fergus Ewing believes that the Scottish Executive has acted irresponsibly in paving the way for so much wind farm development.

He said: “In 2003 I met with Scottish Executive Minister Lewis MacDonald to call for a tighter policy on wind energy with restrictions as to where they can be sited taking account of the scenic value of the landscape and its impact on tourism.

“Secondly, I called for the Executive to ensure that where wind farms are permitted that the wider community benefits not just the wind companies and landowners. Both of these pleas were rejected by the Labour-Liberal Executive as they feared that any restrictions would drive wind farm development down south to England and Wales. These fears, I believe, were spurious.

“The SNP believes that many other forms of renewable energy are the future ““ not unconstrained wind farms ““ such as tidal power, wave power, solar energy, geothermal heat sources and hydrogen cells.

“These are technologies of the future and in some cases the present. Wind farms have, however, a very heavy environmental footprint not only blotting the landscape in places such as Dava which has huge beauty and Lochindorb which is of considerable historic interest but also in the release of substantial quantities of methane from peat landscapes such as that proposed by the Eurus wind farm at Glenkirk.

“The Scottish Executive policy seems to be based on the Martini advert: any time, any place, anywhere.

“All in all, I believe that the current wind farm free for all policy is flawed and I hope that at a new Scottish Executive led by my own party from May will call a halt to this and introduce a balanced policy with a location strategy and community benefit.”

Cameron McNeish, TV broadcaster and president of the Ramblers’ Association (Scotland), has been a leading critic on the scale of wind farm development.

Mr McNeish, who lives in Newtonmore, said: It looks as the Cairngorms National Park could become an island surrounded by industrial wind factories, plus of course, their associated grid of power lines.

“If a person can see the ugliness of these windpower industrial estates from the Cairngorms themselves, and you can at the moment, then it devalues the very purpose of a national park.

“The park authority once stated it would object to developments that you could see from within the park. That would be very encouraging. Currently there are proposals to erect two anemometry masts on Balavil Estate by Kingussie, the first stage towards a windfarm, and these will be erected mere yards from the national park boundary.

“If the council planning authorities allow this to happen they will open the floodgates for others to follow and the boundary of our national park could soon be marked out by anemometry masts and giant turbines.

“Renewable energy is important to Scotland, but onshore wind farms will inevitably cause more harm than good when tourists decide to go elsewhere and the landscape of Scotland is marred for the foreseeable future.

“The only sensible way forward is for a complete moratorium on all onshore large scale windfarm developments in Scotland.”

Planning applications for the wind farms will be determined by Highland Council because they fall outside of the national park area; however, the authority will be a consulted on the developments.

A spokeswoman: “The park authority is opposed to large-scale commercial windfarms in or close to the park, however, we would be supportive of small-scale community renewable energy projects.

“To date, the CNPA has objected to a number of windfarm applications on the periphery of the park and of particular concern is the cumulative impact of numerous windfarm proposals just outside the boundaries of the park.

“Although wind farms provide green energy they are considered inappropriate in or close to the Cairngorms National Park on the grounds of visual impact, the likely effect on protected species, the potential adverse effect on the local economy from a tourism perspective and on the landscape and people’s enjoyment of an area of national and international beauty.”

Sandy Park, Highland Council’s chairman of planning, development, Europe and tourism, said: “There is currently much speculation and a number of anenometers have been erected but we are yet to see many applications for this area bordering the north of Cairngorms National Park.

“We have spent a long time on drawing up a strategy on sites for wind farms in the Highlands and the wind farms will be determined in the context of these policies. They will be considered on their merit as they come in but we will take into account the wider picture. There is no doubt that over-development of wind farms would be a material planning consideration.”

A planning application for the erection of two 50-metre anemometry masts on land four kilometres north-west of Meall A’Chocaire, at Balavil Estate, near Kingussie will be considered by Highland Council on Monday.

The proposal has been submitted by energy company NPower Renewables, and planners are recommending approval by members of Highland Council’s Badenoch and Strathspey area committee sitting in Kingussie. If approved, the masts will be up for a maximum of 24 months from the date of installation.

Both sites lie approximately 1.7 kilometres to the north of the mountain ridge which forms the boundary of the Cairngorms National Park to the north of Kingussie.

The hazardous effects of wind turbine development

Credit:  Rockford Register Star | December 24, 2013 | www.rrstar.com ~~

In response to the letter from Jack Darin of the Sierra Club (My View: Wind energy a boon for Boone County), I just have to say that he is obviously not facing the prospect of living within an industrial wind turbine development. He touts the economic and environmental benefits of wind energy that is deployed 100 miles away, but I live here! The regulations being considered will modernize Boone County ordinances to protect residents from financial and physical harm.

I don’t recall the Sierra Club presenting any evidence against the regulatory changes during two years of public hearings. Regulation changes like having setback distances from resident properties that take into account the ever growing heights of modern turbine towers are reasonable. These are not “barricades to block new business”, they are protective regulations as Sierra Club should well understand.

Our outdated regulations subject residents to hazards from modern wind turbines that reach heights over 500 feet. Hazards include ice throws during winter, falling parts when a turbine catches fire and blade throws. Sorry, but tax revenue and jobs don’t protect me from these hazards. No, I don’t think Darin needs to be concerned about these things living a hundred miles away in a Chicago suburb, but I live here.

 – Gary Fanson, Capron

Product Details

This NYC Diesel hybrid is a very intense strain, intense in flavour and intense in the effect. The grapefruit/lemony smell starts invading your grow room a few weeks into their growth cycle, revealing the potential of what's to come.

This beautiful aroma will only intensify when their flowers start appearing, filling your house with unbelievable soothing smells.

Tasting Seedism's Diesel is an experience on its own, fresh and fruity beyond belief combined with a subtle hint of freshly pressed hashish.

This Diesel is a quick growing Sativa/Indica hybrid that requires just a few weeks of vegetative growth before being forced into their flowering cycle; this however depends on your personal requirements.

You can expect the Diesel to gain about 100% in height during their 10 week flowering period. This strain is a potential high yielding strain, the large elongated buds from the Sativa side of this hybrid will, thanks to the Indica influences, grow more compact during the last few, important, weeks of the flowering cycle.

The cannabinoid profile of the Diesel leans more towards the Sativa side, uplifting and euphoric, with the slightest evidence of Indica related relaxation, a great companion to a night out.

NYC Diesel hybrid
100% female seeds
Sativa 70% / Indica 30%
Flowering Cycle 9-10 weeks

May we point you in the direction of CannaBioGen Regular Seeds today.

Skip the auto shop - Our mechanics make house calls

Q: Headlights turn on and ac but dont start up.

asked by on

AC and headlights work fine so the battery works good but the engine won't start up it dosen't make any noise whatsoever . Just recently the stereo stop working also and I already tried power starting the battery and it still don't start up I also change my other car batter to the Mitsubishi and nothing .

My car has 181000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

If the starter is not operating at all, you have an electrical problem. A certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, would first check to see if power is getting to the starter motor and if the ground is good (e.g., ground strap between engine and battery). If the starter motor is getting 12.5 volts and no excessive voltage drop under load, then there is probably a fault in the starter motor or solenoid. If there is no power to the starter motor, there are a variety of things to check in the starter circuit including ignition switch, relay(s), fuses, and wiring.

Simple Summer Eyes.

I put together a SUPER simple eyeshadow look for yall using the Original Lorac Pro.loracproI said on Instagram (xorileyblog) that it consists of three colors, but one of them is actually just a brow bone highlight sooooo that’s only TWO actual eyeshadow colors! Crazy, I know! So let’s get into it! First one is the crease color, which is Mauve. Then the all over lid color, Lt. Bronze (a color I use A LOT!) loracproFirst I primed my lids with my favorite eyeshadow primer (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer). I then took Mauve on a big, fluffy brush and blended it into the crease. I did that over and over until It looked pretty seamless. I then took Lt. Bronze on a smaller, compact eyeshadow brush and sweeped it over the lid, into the crease. After packing it on the eyelid, I took the fluffy brush from the first step and blended it out in the crease again. AND THAT IS IT! My brow bone color I used to pull it together was Nude. To finish the eyes, I took my Lorac Front of the Line PRO Liquid Eye Liner in black and drew a sharp cat eye. Lastly, I put on Red Cherry Lashes #43.

It is THE perfect eyeshadow combination for any lip color. I first paired it with a hot, coral lip.summereyesThis is one of my favorite pairings. In this look, I used Palladio’s Herbal Lipstick in the color Coral Punch. I have mentioned this lipstick on my blog before in my Summer Vibes: Beauty Tips and Tricks which I will link below. As stated above, this eyeshadow look is great for any lippie! My second look I put it with is a simple, nude lipstick. It is obviously not as bold, but still just as gorgeous. I think it is very fresh and clean. The more I look at the picture below, the more I think I wore a pink, matte color. I can’t remember which one I used, but two of my favorite NUDE lipsticks are Maybelline’s Super Stay 14 Hour Lipstick in the color Never Ending Nude and Lorac’s Alter Ego Lipstick in the color Dutchess.nudelips I think both of these looks can be pulled off by anyone! I also think they are simple enough that a beginner can recreate them, which is really important to me. 🙂 sidebysideAnd that is it! Three colors on the eyes, two lipstick pairings. 😀

If you have any suggestions on something I should write about, leave it in the comments below.

Venugopalaswamy temple in Karnataka, India

Written by Sonali Dhanpal

View of Sanctum sanctorum. Photo by author.

Authenticity is a concept widely discussed, defining something true, genuine or original. The romantic notion of an ‘unspoilt’ past in people’s imagination is met by authenticity, a form of social construction. But authenticity is perceived very differently in the Indian context and this is exemplified in the replantation of the Venugopalaswamy temple in Karnataka, India.

Contextual backdrop

Located near Mysore, the historic capital of Karnataka, India the Venugopalaswamy temple was built in 12th century AD. It serves as an example of Hoysala architecture with characteristic features of the style: a Mantapa (pillared hall), Vimana (Sanctum Sanctorum) and other details like lathe pillars, ornate ceilings and detailed iconography. The conception of the KRS dam and its reservoir in the area condemned the temple and the surrounding village of Kannambadi to submersion in 1909. With the onset of monsoon the temple remained underwater leaving the temple to resurface only when the level of water in the reservoir dropped. This hide and seek of the temple continued for several decades with mixed emotions – happiness on seeing the temple and the subtle warning of the looming drought which meant bad luck to the local populace, primarily an agrarian community.

In the early 2000s a philanthropist undertook the mammoth task of replanting the temple from the reservoir and the project was completed by 2011. The temple that measured 300×180 feet in its entirety was proposed to be shifted from its original site to a nearby allocated land area surrounded by the dam. An enormous number photographs – 16,000 – were taken before dismantling the original structure, each slab used in the construction marked meticulously. All physical aspects: volume, shape and form of the temple, were digitized. The task of dismantling and transporting each stone in order within the short period of drought when the temple emerged is to have proved challenging. The project was executed by artisans and sculptors from surrounding areas thus involving a varied group of expertise.

Although attempts were made to retain the stones as placed in the original structure, the years of corrosion due to water and sedimentation of the stones led the restorers to polish every stone. Albeit onlookers can identify elements of Hoysala architecture, the redressing of the stones by removing a layer of the flaky surface to a conservationist’s dismay has now provided the entire temple with a new appearance. There is one small portion of the exterior wall of the temple that has been left unfinished so the original surfaces can be seen, giving onlookers a glimpse of the past.

Ideally, authenticity is sought because of its familiarity, but in the case of the replantation of the Venugopalaswamy temple, although the structure has changed considerably, the new appearance has not diminished the enthusiasm of the hordes that throng at the temple. Despite its unconventional conservation the exercise has helped visitors connect with what was and what is and has even helped the temple evolve from serving a few deities to one that embraces many. Hence this poses an important question, ‘is authenticity and maintaining original material fabric the only way to help people connect with their past?’ This question is met with an answer provided by this example of replantation where despite alteration of the original fabric pilgrims and visitors are still presented with a numinous feeling when at the site.

No news in the Web

谢益辉 / 2006-09-09

All along I have been holding a strong belief that there is no news in the web, and I just suggest people be less curious to those non-official affairs. Some of them don’t make any sense.

I write these words above just because of the recent affair on campus concerning to a master who was described in a long post with very evil words. That post appeared in numerous forums just over the night. Then, as we can imagine, curses followed like flood.

Too naive, I said to myself. It’s not immoderate if we call them a mob using “net violence”.

Occasionally I’d like to make comparison between students in the contemporary society and that in the “May 4th Movement” (“New Culture Movement”), and sigh, if only we could understand what is the spirit of “Science and Democracy”. To some degree, we have chosen a false democracy, and lost a true science.

So next time if you meet somebody somewhere and talk about the news in the past few days, just tell them, no news in the web. Nothing happened, really.

A City’s Protector Falls: Sgt. Ryan Russell was a True Hero.

There is going to be a funeral for a hero in Toronto, Ontario this week. He wasn’t the type of hero I like to read about in comics or watch on film.

He was the type of hero I would like to be.

He ran around a corner completely blind to just what was waiting for him, although he was certain that whatever it was, Death would be waiting right beside it. For a police officer, Death is a constant companion, shadowing their movements, haunting their dreams and always waiting to strike.

Sgt. Ryan Russell, 35, was slain in the line of duty on January 12, leaving behind his wife Christine and two-year-old son Nolan. The 11-year veteran, whose father was a Toronto police officer, was promoted to sergeant in August 2010 after spending about four years with the guns and gangs task force.

 A stolen snow plow rampaged for two hours through the streets of Toronto until Sgt. Russell responded to a call from a taxi driver whose cab had been hit twice by suspect Richard Kachkar, 44, of no fixed address. When the two met, Kachkar is alleged to have driven the plow directly at the officer, who was struck and suffered massive head trauma.

A layer of winter snow fell upon his broken body as he lay bleeding on the cold streets of the city he pledged to protect. He was pronounced dead at St. Michael’s Hospital.

His funeral will be Tuesday and will be attended by hundreds of his fellow officers from all over Canada, each of whom will no doubt  feel the presence of Death waiting for them as well.

But that won’t stop them from going back to work the next day on the streets they have pledged to protect.

That’s the difference between police officers and the rest of us; they assume each day will be their last. If their moment does arrive, they do not flee or cower as most would.

No, if their companion appears in front of them, they run to him so that others may live to walk through life for at least one more day.

    I cannot bring myself to click the “Like” button for this post. I work with law enforcement officers every day and they are very often unsung heroes of our cities. My heart goes out to Sgt. Russell’s family.

  2. Mike Meikle says:

    It’s stories like this that make you realize no matter what challenges you are facing, there are others who have made the ultimate sacrifice. What a tragic event.

  3. classyrose says:

    I wasn’t hesitant at all in clicking the like button. You’ve written a glowing tribute to a fallen officer and you need to know that.

    Thank you for taking the time to honour his memory.

    • melsar93 says:

      Sorry if I was confusing. The post is great, but I sometimes wonder about the meaning of “liking” a post and the subject its about. I didn’t want to like the fact that this officer has died.

      • classyrose says:

        I understand what you mean, I’ve been hesitant at times but now I always follow with the comment. I didn’t mean to imply that you were wrong, that wasn’t my intention.

  4. 4myskin says:

    Thank you for this post. The police do so much, risk so much, so we do not need to fear. My prayers are with the family and the people he worked with. The bond between police officers is especially strong.

  5. Bernie says:

    Bless his heart and those of his family. I think that sometimes people don’t realize that there are real men and women behind the badge.
    Its not until something like this happens, that they pay attention. *sigh*

  6. dtrasler says:

    Brilliantly written. My wife works with the police here in Canada. This week was their honours and awards ceremony – some incredible stories of bravery, both on and off duty, and by civilians too. There ARE heroes out there…

War Criminals (Economics Division): The Dirty Twenty

Identifying any kind of war criminal is tricky. It is common to latch on to the hit men, or the ones issuing the immediate orders, while ignoring the planners and decision-makers, the funders, and those providing intellectual and moral support. And of course war criminals (military division [MD]) are always found only on the losing side, when frequently there are outstanding candidates among the winners. Identifying war criminals is hard to do without an arbitrariness that renders the whole effort dubious.

As for economics-based criminality, the very idea is anathema to the western establishment, because it points up an area in which its principals are vulnerable. Just as the West (and especially the United States) fought against incorporating economic (and social) rights as fundamental rights in post World War II formulations of the International Declaration of Human Rights, so today it avoids the phrase "class war" as well as the possibility of criminality associated with economic policy and private economic actions. The western establishment devotedly supports capitalism, which means "economic freedom," which means the freedom to starve as well as accumulate wealth.

It also means the right of establishment politicians to carry out economic policies that immiserate and kill large numbers of people, and the right of the corporate elite to fire, exploit, and otherwise mistreat employees within the (flexible) limits of the law. These rights are fundamental to the system, and spokespersons for contemporary capitalism view any immiseration produced by its normal operations as inescapable facts of nature, like cosmic rays. As we are in a New World Order of resurgent corporate power, more aggressive class warfare, an ongoing global redistribution of income upward, return to "Dickensian" work conditions, and environmental devastation, the notion of economic criminality is especially dangerous. Immiseration must be normalized, and it is the function of the intellectuals at the Cato, American Enterprise, Manhattan and other institutes, and economists at the University of Chicago and elsewhere, to extend the intellectual and moral boundaries of potential immiseration.

The press has the responsibility of keeping such uncomfortable notions as economics-based criminality out of sight. Each year Oxfam puts out powerful documents on global poverty and the devastating effects of World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) policies on the world’s non-elite billions (a superb illustration is its 1995 The Oxfam Poverty Report), but these are never reviewed or even reported in the New York Times. Similar suppression or marginalization is applied to the publications and conferences of Food First, the Development Group for Alternative Policies, the Global Exchange, PROBE International, and other dissident groups, and to campaigns like last year’s "Fifty Years Are Enough" (celebrating the 50th anniversary of the World Bank).

The media also treat in a very low key the massive looting by western clients like Mobutu, Suharto and the Salinas boys and their allies, the union busting operations of Caterpillar, and the damage inflicted on the underlying populations by neoliberalization in countries like Mexico and Chile. I have always thought it enlightening that the great thief, Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos, was treated very gently by the U.S. media until 1986, when he became so weak internally that he could no longer serve U.S. interests and was written off by U.S. policy-makers, at which point his looting suddenly became newsworthy!

In addressing economic criminality we run into some of the same kinds of problems that establishment analysts encounter in identifying military war crimes. Who is "responsible" in a complex system of division of labor? Do we look behind the middle and top managers to the large shareholders and bankers who may call the shots? Do we stop with the political leaders who make and execute laws or do we reach back to the election funders, advisers, planners and intellectuals urging on the criminal projects? Pinning the label of criminality on individuals ignores the systemic element in such crimes–the fact that they are not only the result of how the system works, but that large numbers share responsibility. It is true that some can be identified with special discretionary powers and exceptional involvement in war and economic war crimes, but we still face difficult problems. Information on criminal economic behavior, which extends over the entire globe, is limited and the actual locus of economic and political decisions if often difficult to establish. In short, our selection is going to have a strong element of arbitrariness.

Why bother then? As noted earlier, one reason is to highlight the arbitrariness of the establishment’s confinement of war crimes to those that fit its biases and to focus on the immorality and viciousness of important forms of criminal economic activity. A second is to name names, and to call the scoundrels in question by their deserved name of war criminal–economics division. They are all quite respectable folk, much honored. A man like Michel Camdessus, a prime war criminal-ED who heads the International Monetary Fund, considers himself a "socialist" and do-gooder.

Economic crimes deserving attention fall into two categories: first, are those that harm large numbers by enforcing an economic policy that serves the global elite, as with Camdessus’ "structural adjustment" programs for poor countries. A second form of crime is large scale theft, as in the case of Mobutu, the Western imposed looter in Zaire, and Suharto in Indonesia. The robbers also help immiserate, but they do it not so much through policy actions as by directly reducing the GDP available to the populace by their own robbery and that carried out by foreign businesses who have made entry payoffs. A number of war criminals-ED are also war criminals- MD. Mobutu and Suharto, in addition to looting, have also participated in large scale repression and murder.

The Dirty Twenty

I am going to break my list of war criminals-ED into four categories: Government Leaders, Middle Managers, Businessmen, and Economists-Intellectuals-Advisers. I will include only criminals currently active, so that Margaret Thatcher, Carlos Salinas, Ronald Reagan and George Bush are excluded, although they would show up in a historical accounting. I am also going to list only twenty in total, with a very brief explanatory comment, although the potential list would be of large size. I invite readers to send in their own additions or emendations to my list. Perhaps Z Magazine should have an annual listing of war criminals-ED, given the unwarranted neglect of this subject by the mainstream media.

Government leaders:

1. Bill Clinton: for his contribution to welfare "reform," for his economic policy of slow growth, tight monetary and fiscal policy, and trickle-down economics, which has caused insecurity to rise and the income distribution to become more unequal in his tenure. Also for his support of Yeltsin and Russian "reform," his Iraq policy of holding 18 million people hostage and subject to an economic boycott, and his general fronting for global neoliberalism and the corporate order.

2. Boris Yeltsin: for his key role in beggaring millions of Russians, in service to a looting economic mafia and the West.

3. General Suharto: one of the great thieves (and mass murderers) of the twentieth century, who created a "favorable climate of investment" in Indonesia, and is consequently treated in the West as a "moderate" and "modernizer."

4. Mike Harris: the current Progressive [sic] Conservative Premier of Ontario, who relishes putting workers out of work and poor people out on the streets; a caricature of a rightwing ideologue, with executive power.

5. Sese Seko Mobutu: possibly the greatest thief of the twentieth century in ratio of loot to GDP, with estimated wealth in excess of $5 billion; put in place by U.S. intervention, supported by the IMF and World Bank, and very solicitous of creditor claims, if not the basic needs of his people.

6. Ernesto Zedillo: successor to Salinas as head of the PRI, in charge of managing the huge contraction of the Mexican economy at the expense of the underlying population, to keep payments flowing to Mexico’s creditors. Also responsible for the ongoing repression of peasant and indigenous uprisings.

Middle Managers:

7. Michel Camdessus: long time head of the IMF, whose structural adjustment programs have imposed enormous burdens on the world’s poor, while servicing the demands of the global transnational corporations and banks. Camdessus is very possibly directly responsible for more human deaths than any person since World War II–the neoliberal equivalent of Adolph Eichmann.

8. Allan Greenspan: Reaganite head of the Fed has not only managed a monetary policy focusing on inflation control, slow growth and a sizable reserve army of unemployed, he contributed to the S & L debacle with an adulatory letter of recommendation for S & L crook Charles Keating, now in jail for fraud.

9. James Wolfensohn: a recently appointed head of the World Bank, who continues to carry out its policies of environmentally destructive loans for dams, support for leaders like Zedillo, Suharto and Yeltsin, and structural adjustment programs for countries like Haiti–his job is criminal by structural necessity.

Business leaders:

10. Jim Bob Moffett: chairman of Freeport-McMoRan, a transnational mining company, now famous for its environmental destruction and criminal abuses of the native population in West Papua, New Guinea (under the rule of Indonesia, the company assisted by the Indonesian army); also one of the leading polluters in North America.

11. M. A. Van den Bergh, Managing Director of Royal-Dutch-Shell: for his and Shell’s role as long-time collaborator with the Nigerian dictatorship; has abused the Ogoni people’s lands for decades, keeping them under control with the help of the Nigerian military.

12. Donald Fites: the CEO of Caterpillar has set a standard in union busting, with his triumph over the UAW in a four year strike.

13. Al Dunlap: champion of down-sizing, Dunlap did a major job on Scott Paper employees, and has now been brought in to kill jobs on behalf of the stockholders at Sunbeam Corporation.

14. Charles Hurwitz: corporate raider, who cost the taxpayer $1.6 billion in S & L losses, is most famous as boss of Pacific Lumber, owner of the Headwaters Grove, the last major private ancient redwood forest in California. Pacific Lumber has been notable for ruthless clear cutting of the California redwoods.

15. William Simon: pioneer in the leveraged buyout method of ripoff, which led the way to the Reagan era buyout-merger frenzy; also a top organizer and subsidizer of neoliberal and rightwing propaganda as head of the Olin Foundation.

Economists and intellectuals:

16. Jeffrey Sachs: Harvard’s and the neoliberal world’s leading shock therapist, responsible for human devastation in Bolivia, Poland and Russia. Any failings in these shock treatments were a result of inadequate speed and comprehensiveness, not Sachs’ misunderstanding of institutions, cultures, and economics itself.

17. Arnold Harberger: Chicago School guru who was the leader of the Chicago boys in Chile, and is proud to have brought free markets to that country (over many thousands of murdered bodies).

18. Robert Bartley: editor of the Wall Street Journal, passionate supporter of supply side economics and all the death squads necessary to bring it to fruition here and abroad.

19. Charles Murray: author of the antiwelfare classic Losing Ground and the racist classic The Bell Curve, Murray has been in the intellectual forefront of the attack on the poor, weak and black.

20. Thomas Sowell: Hoover Institution economist, one of three black social scientists (the others: Walter Williams and Shelby Steele) who have given the Charles Murray slant to affirmative action and welfare state policies in general. Sowell won a close competition among the three.

This selection can be contested; the potential candidates run into the thousands. The Dirty Twenty are all "good" (i.e., despicable) candidates, but in a sense they are symbolic representatives of a large criminal class.

Artist Talk: Karel Martens

019 — Museum Of Moving Practice

Artist Talk: Karel Martens
Saturday the 1st of July. 15:00

Jan Breydelstraat 5 / Drabstraat, 9000 Ghent

The artist, typographer, graphic designer, bookmaker, and educator Karel Martens will talk about his practice and his exhibition Motion.
This event is FREE.

Later that evening there will be a ‘Turncoats debate’ with Elsbeth Ronner (Lilith Ronner van Hooijdonk), Jan de Vylder (architecten de vylder vinck taillieu), Job Floris (Monadnock) & Martino Tattara (DOGMA). More info click here

Karel Martens has ten hands for every finger. He’s an artist, a typographer, a graphic designer, a bookmaker, and an educator. He co-founded a school. He’s influenced thousands.
Motion will afford a compound view on an expansive practice, and chart a road map. Yet while all of that spans over 50 years of Martens inter-disciplinary activity, the exhibition will remain grounded firmly in the present (and future).
Of course, the exhibition will include some representative works – mono-prints of and on found materials, paper reliefs, videos, modular wallpapers, kinetic sculptures, a very early optical work. Consider all of that a contextual substrate that corroborates Marten’s responsive and systematic approach to color, format, type, and material. And his immense influence as an educator will also be centrally positioned within the exhibition, with a selection of publications by his former students displayed on tables Martens designed for the Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem, NL (the school he co-founded in 1998). Consider all of that a demonstrative charting of influence. The primary focus will be on Martens’ most recent work, with several new commissions – wallpaper made up of multicolored icons, interactive video projections and a massive abstract clock. These works were produced for the exhibition, which was initially organized by Kunstverein München in Munich, while other existing works are being specially reconfigured. It will be immersive – with colour inversions over entire spaces, multiplied by real-time mirroring and attuned with technique, systematic seriality, conceptual operations and a multi-functional zone.
In other words, Motion is not intended to display Martens’ practice, but instead as an embodied demonstration of his method.

Yeah you read that right, UNICORN FARTS! Move over, Starbucks, the new unicorn craze is here, and -in my opinion- it's even better than that pretty frappucino. How could it be better you ask? Unicorn Farts is actually a beer!!! Yeah, buddy, Barbarian Brewing is introducing their new "juicy IPA" at an event on Saturday that celebrates their 1000th day in business.

According to Boise Weekly, the locally-owned brewery with locations in Garden City and Downtown Boise decided to celebrate their big milestone in a big way. Thought the name was the only cool part? Nope, the citrus, fruit-flavored cold one is actually brewed with edible glitter (shut up and take my money) AND has a super awesome deep, purple/blue color to it, thanks to a natural food-dye imported from Thailand.

You'll be able to drink Unicorn Farts (that's just fun to say) this Saturday at their release party. They'll even have some fun t-shirts that don a unicorn farting a rainbow....duh. I don't know about you, but Starbucks has nothin' on this. Will you be trying it?

WHAT: Barbarian Brewing Unicorn Farts Release Party

WHEN: Sat., June 30, 2-10 p.m. FREE

WHERE: Barbarian Brewing (Garden City location) - 5270 E. Chinden Blvd.

A 5-month-old baby survived being buried alive in the woods near Lolo Hot Springs which is about 35 miles north of Missoula, Montana.  KTVB reports that 32-year-old Francis Carlton Crowley was acting strangely in the area, threatening people with a gun and then finally leaving.  What prompted people to call the Missoula County Sheriff's Office was not just his erratic behavior, but, he had a 5-month-old baby boy in his care and he left without the baby.  Nobody knew where the baby was.

This all happened about 8 o'clock Saturday night.  Crowley eventually came back into the area and that's when authorities arrested and questioned him about where the baby was.  Crowley seemed to be under the influence of drugs and did not give up any information at first.  Eventually, he stated that the baby may be buried somewhere in the woods.  That's when the search went into overdrive.

Missoula County Search and Rescue, the United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Montana Highway Patrol were all called in for help.  After searching through the mountains for more than six hours, someone heard the faint cry of a baby.  The 5-month-old was found face down under a pile of dirt and sticks.  It was 45 degrees out when the baby was found and he had been there for approximately nine hours.

Early Sunday morning the baby was taken to the hospital for treatment and has been listed in good health.  Crowley has been arrested and booked and will face charges of criminal endangerment.

Fill your wallet, fill your stomach and, most importantly: filling.

Oreo has announced a contest in which people can pitch their ideas for a new flavor of the iconic cookie. Yup, that's it -- you don't have to make a homemade version of it or anything. All you have to do is use your noodle to come up with a flavor that whets your taste buds.

You can find all the details about how to enter here and make sure to take this seriously, because Oreo certainly is: the person with the winning idea gets $500,000 and a trip to New York City. That's half a million dollars for creating a cookie. There are worse ways to make money.

Three other finalists will also get 25 grand apiece, while also seeing their entries become limited time offerings. And you know what that means: big money on the secondary market.

People have already begun swirling combinations in their heads. Take a look at some of the yummy -- or maybe not so much -- below. Of course, there is the issue of what happens if the winning entry is suggested by more than one person. We say those people have a twist-off: they each take one side of the cookie and twist it. The one who gets the most cream is the winner.

The contest runs 'til July 14, so you've got plenty of time to show off your creativity. Perhaps Christina Aguilera will ultimately take the crown?

How to make the perfect circle mug rug

I have designed a daffodil stained glass picture and realized that binding it usual way with bias tape won't look pretty.
I wondered what fabric to choose, thought a little more and decided to make it as cushion cover - place top and back right sides together, stitch and turn over.
The difference is that instead of leaving a hole for turn over when stitching along the perimeter, you have to stitch WHOLE perimeter and make a slash on the back for turn over. This ensure you have a perfect circle shape.
I have seen this method on the Lisa Call's site - an interesting fiber artist I have found two years ago.
In fact she made ACEO mini quilt - they are small rectangles 2.5″ x 3.5″only, but the idea is the same.

You will need 7" circle batting , 7" circle backing, 3"x1" strip non-woven fusible interfacing and finished top. Make your own or get the pattern from HERE.

1.Lay the batting and prepared top right side up and stitch around at a quarter inch from the edge
of the picture to fasten two layers.

 2. Fuse a strip of fusible interfacing on the wrong side of backing and cut a 2.5” slash.

3. Lay the backing right side up and place on it the prepared  top  from step 12 right side down.
Stitch round perimeter follow the seam you made earlier to fasten batting and top.

4. Trim the batting only close to the seam.

5. Turn over the mug rug through the slash you have cut on the back.

Iron well, stitch round close to the edge.
Place a strip 2 x 5” on the slash on the back and needle turn applique
a strip to hide the hole.

6. Now you have a perfect circle mug rug.
Make a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the spring.

Be an applique magician - tutorial

Do you wander how quilters make perfect appliqued shapes?
Are you dreaming about beautiful zig zag stitches around every detail?
Then this post is for you.

The secrets of good looking applique stitches are several.

1. The foundation fabric should be stabilized.
Use paper stabilizer of fusible non-woven interfacing.

2.Set your machine at medium to lower speed.
This allow you to control the up-down movement of the needle when you reach the place where have to change sewing direction.

3. Set the stitch length to 1.0 and stitch width to 2.0 and test how it looks. Usually this works.

4. Use an applique foot
It gives you bigger field of vision.

5. Begin stitching. At the end of the edge at * put the needle in the background fabric, lift the presser foot and pivot.

6. Always pivot at *. (see the ways for outer and inner corners)

7.Proceed the same manner.

8. When stitch the curve select low speed and pivot inside the curve.

9. When reach the beginning stop at the same point, pull the threads at the back side and make a knot.

A story behind Finding testers

Finding tester to sew my paper pieced designed diagrams looked very easy after a post in Facebook on my wall.
I wanted to find three testers for three of my patterns and published them here non late than 3/03. They have to make block with fabric from their own stash and send me a picture. I was curious to see how quilters use different fabrics.
It sounds interesting, is it?

Some of them were so quick, some of them meet the deadline and some don't send me anything.
It was a funny time, I found new friends and met human diversity.

Thank you testers!

First group - Coffee grinder paper pieced block.

Karol has sewn two versions and both look beautiful.

Second group - Ribbon Star block paper pieced Block.

Patricia made this star.

Lynn made this one.

The third group - Fox paper pieced pattern.

Ammy has sewn this cute fox.

Zsofia made this one.

 The patterns are available at ETSY and CRAFTSY.

Feel free to add picture of sewn blocks by my design at my Flickr group HERE or sent them to me by e-mail.

Where do you come from?

When the site Quilt around the world announced their project Where do you come from last Summer I have no doubt I have to participate in.
They have been looking for patterns, ornaments, symbols, and grafical structures from all over the world, interpreted freely and translated into fabric as Patchwork and Quilting Pattern.

My paper pieced block Ethno totem was perfect for this idea.
I was inspired by national embroidery when designed this block for cushion's cover.
There were requirements about the size of the blocks (to make collecting easier) so I have to adjust the size. I sewn the block, wrote a story behind , filled the registration form and sent to Germany.

When received a special mail with kind grateful words I was happy.

Here are the participants with their blocks and stories - about 70 quilters from 20 countries.

Look how the blocks were gathered by EQ7.
Don't you think it would be a great quilt, do you?

Now the will sew together all blocks and print a book with participants.
Can't wait to see all together in a real quilt.

P.S. I was amazed yesterday when found another interesting inspiration like my embroidery (tapestry) one on the site Upper Case magazine when reading news about Quilt Con 2015 .
Look at the sound weaving.

Easter bunny stained glass mug rug

After some attempts with easy shapes I decided to make more complicated picture as stained glass.
Because Easter is round the corner it is obviously I aimed my efforts to this scenario.

I have appliqued the same way - look at the tutorial HERE.

The difference now is that I want to have a finished item - mug rug,
The only possible quilting would be stitch in the black. Anyway I don't want to touch beauty of black stripes with thread stitching.
I quilted the backing and batting first.

Then place this sandwich right side down and place the finished top on.
Stitch round the perimeter at a quarter inch from the edge of the picture  and trim to 3/8 inches from the edge.

Then add binding as usual.

Grab the pattern from CRAFTSY or ETSY.

I have chosen pastel fabrics, but think more vivid colors would give a better look!

Appliqued stained glass - tutorial

I love stained glass!
There are  so many  different items - from classical windows and doors to quilts.
Usually when sewing it is used a narrow bias strip to separate different pieces.
This is 100% sewn by hand and for someone who doesn't like hand stitching it is so boring.
If you like to applique by machine this stained glass method is perfect for you.
The finished block is 6 inches.

Are you interested?
Keep reading then.

You will need:
8 inches square black fabric, fabrics for application, 8 inches square non-woven fusible interfacing, double side fusible web, suitable threads

And a diagram, of course.

Download it from HERE or from CRAFTSY  FOR FREE

1. Choose the fabrics and write down colors on the printed diagram.

2. Transfer the MIRROR image of diagram  to the double sided fusible web.
There is no need to print a mirror image, simply turn the printed diagram before stick on.
I usually stick on the window to use the daylight.
Be sure you  transferred correctly all the numbers.

 3. Cut round each piece. Pay attention to cut between every two pieces.
This ensure a little allowance to make fusing onto the fabric easier.
You will trim this down later

4. Fuse all pieces onto the back of the selected fabric with a hot, dry iron.

5. Trim each piece along the line.
6. Transfer the number from back to the front of the fabric with disappearing pen.

Tip: place each piece on the corresponding place onto the printed diagram - for instance number 1 on the number 1. This will help you later when have to peel the paper and order on the black fabric.

7. Fuse the non-woven fusible interfacing onto the back of the black fabric with a hot, dry iron.
8. Place the black fabric on the ironing board and began order the picture.
Remove the backing paper from each piece and position it onto
the black fabric's top on the proper place beginning from the corner.
Place next piece keep in mind to leave black line between them.
If needed reposition the pieces till you are satisfied with the look.
Tip: If needed use a dry glue stick for easy order.

9. Fuse with hot iron carefully.

10. Using zig-zag stitch sew along the edges of all pieces with suitable threads.
Tip: You could use one and the same thread in the bobbin - simply loose the tension of the upper thread.

To prevent bulk of threads I end the stitching close to the beginning, pull the threads on the back side and make a knot to secure them.

11. Proceed the same way with all pieces.
Tip: Use the foot for application.

When finished you can use this block as you like - for coaster, for cushion or wall hanging if enlarge.

I have designed some different pictures. Grab them from ETSY or CRAFTSY.

tappity tap tap

well i just got back from my first tap dancing class at a new studio.  for the past 2 weeks i had been taking at a super crappy place (in an old run down POST OFFICE) whose idea of tap dance is hoofing it to Beyonce.   Seriously. I was astonished that to attract a more urban crowd the teacher put on music that did NOT work with tap... but of course it was quite funny b/c when we registered (me and a friend Amy from work) we asked the desk-girl, "What's the makeup of the class like?" and she said, "Oh it's very diverse."  We were excited, thinking that we weren't going to be the old farts in class and said, "Awesome! So there are lots of different ages here?" and she said back, "Well, you two are the reason it's diverse."

hahaha.  so that meant we were the old farts in class.

anyway, i'm not the old fart in the new class... there are two ladies in their 50s, me, and then 5 other girls about 13-16 years old.  am i crazy that i like to talk to the teens more than the older ladies?

i sweated my ass off and was told that my appearance in the recital is optional. thank god!!!  it sounds a lot like Dive Club.  The only difference is i couldn't really talk about Dive Club... but Tap Club i'm going to gush about.

p.s. tonight before class i was filling up with overpriced gas and a woman with a hickey the size of a COASTER asked me for $2.00.  she said "we've gotta get home. Please!!" and so i bought the meth-head $2.50 worth of gas.  i'm a dumbass but at least i knew they couldn't sell the gas from the pump for crystal.  guess i was trying to give humanity the benefit of the doubt.  i'm stupid.

I'm guessing the teens are more entertaining with the drama and ignorance about the world.

Teens are more fun to talk to because they still view the world in such extremes. Screw those shades of grey....as well as the grey hairs.

This page can easily be customized if they want their logo or if they wanted to include an iframe of their adoptable animals listing using the simple pop-up I made. I just didn't include it since it takes up more than 10kb. :p
