 EU says US blocks talks to halt global warming - Taipei Times
Sun, Dec 19, 2004 - Page 1　News List

EU says US blocks talks to halt global warming

An activist dressed as US President George W. Bush on Friday dances in simulated rain in Buenos Aires to protest against the US government's stance on global warming.

The European Union charged that Washington has blocked efforts to move global warming discussions past 2012, as 12 days of marathon UN negotiations with 5,000 delegates from around the world came to an end on Friday.

The EU wanted the nations that signed the Kyoto Protocol on climate change -- including the US, which has since rejected the treaty -- to negotiate on a multilateral basis and schedule talks for next year on reducing gas emissions after 2012, when the Kyoto agreement expires.

But Pieter van Geel, the environmental secretary for the Netherlands, which now holds the EU presidency, said he was disappointed by the results.

"I'm not optimistic," van Geel told reporters in an interview. "The US knows this is the first step toward discussing climate change, and they are very reluctant to do it under the UN."

EU representatives spearheaded a huge Old World effort in the fight against global warming. But in the end, the US, which produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gasses that are blamed for a global temperature rise, turned a deaf ear to European pleas.

"We have not managed to even push open the gate to the political future of the climate," said a German negotiator, Karsten Sach.

Negotiators from China, India and Brazil backed Washington's efforts to block talks on post-2012 emissions, charging that the world's richest nations -- which have produced most of the pollutants -- still had not done enough to lower their emissions.

Argentine President Nestor Kirchner noted that many developing countries suffer from heavy debt burdens and are limited in their ability to respond to the environmental threat. Developed countries are always demanding financial debts be paid back, but they are not willing to own up to their own environmental debts to the world.

"This double morality is unacceptable," Kirchner said.

The EU and other industrial countries like Canada and Japan were optimistic, however, because the Kyoto Protocol will go into effect on Feb. 16 despite the US' opposition. Russia's ratification this year passed the necessary threshold for the treaty to kick in.

Glazer Family FoundationTampa, FL (January 15, 2009)  – The Glazer Family Foundation is donating $150,000 to the NFL Youth Education Towns (YETs) of Tampa Bay.  The donation will help fund the recently completed Glazer Family Football Field at Mort Park.

 “The Glazer Family Foundation is proud to continue its support of youth development throughout Tampa Bay,” said Bryan Glazer, Executive Vice President of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “Enhancing the local educational and recreational facilities is essential to the growth of Bay area youth. This field is another way to help promote the importance of physical fitness and healthy living and will serve as a valuable resource to the local community.”

There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new field at a 4 p.m. along with a press conference on Jan. 29 at Mort Park, featuring NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

NFL Youth Education Town Tampa Bay

The NFL is donating $1 million to the Youth Education Towns at Jackson Heights and Mort Park as part of its Super Bowl XLIII legacy commitment to Tampa Bay.  This donation is being matched by a $1 million combined commitment from Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa.

“Hillsborough County is pleased to continue our partnership with the National Football League for the expansion of the facilities and programs of the NFL YET Center at Mort Park,” said Ken Hagan, chairman of the Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners. “Over the past seven years, since the 2001 Super Bowl, we have seen firsthand the value of the YET program and the impact it has had on the lives of the children and families it serves in the University Community Area.”

The money will help fund the field and expansion of both existing buildings to house innovative health and fitness initiatives.  The YET Super Bowl initiative also provides advanced recording, digital and performing arts programming at each center through a partnership with the Patel Conservatory at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and the Forever Young Foundation.

"Community outreach has become an important element of the Super Bowl experience and Tampa is proud to join with the NFL to enhance the programming available at our Jackson Heights YET Center,” said Tampa Mayor Pam Lorio.  “The Center continues to positively impact our community, and we look forward to being able to serve Tampa's next generation of young citizens."

The Glazer Family Foundation is dedicated to assisting charitable and educational causes in the West Central Florida region.  The foundation aids established not-for-profit organizations that work with youth and families to help identify and create programs that support positive social and economic development within our communities.  The Glazers, who own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, established the foundation in 1999.  Since that time, the Glazer Family Foundation has given millions in programs, grants, tickets and merchandise to the Tampa Bay area. Most recently, the foundation donated $5 million toward the construction of a new children’s museum in downtown Tampa, which will be named the Glazer Children’s Museum. Visit for more information.

Tampa Bay Super Bowl XLlll Host Commitee 2009The Tampa Bay Super Bowl Host Committee is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(6), Florida corporation governed by a small board of directors.  The Committee serves as the liaison between the National Football League and local efforts and has the ongoing responsibility for implementing Tampa Bay’s plan for Super Bowl XLIII culminating with the game on February 1, 2009 at Raymond James Stadium.  For more information, visit

For the past 16 years, the NFL has constructed Youth Education Towns (YETs) in Super Bowl host cities, aimed at positively impacting youth in at-risk neighborhoods.  The NFL has donated close to $20 million toward the YET initiative since the program began in 1993 as a legacy of Super Bowl XXVII. YETs are state-of-the-art facilities offering tutoring, mentoring, career training, computer education, and access to recreational activities. The facilities are designed to help youngsters succeed by providing educational assistance, job training, technical instruction, life-skills development, and recreational outlets.  Steve Young’s Forever Young Foundation, long-time partner of the NFL YET initiative, assists with the funding of technology centers at each location. There are presently 15 YETs operating in eleven Super Bowl host cities—Los Angeles, Phoenix, New Orleans, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Detroit, Atlanta, and two in San Diego, Tampa, and Houston, as well as a YET opening in Honolulu, a legacy oof NFL Pro Bowl games.

Green Energy Advice You Should Know About

Maintaining green energy in the home does not have to be difficult, and has numerous benefits for you and your family! Simply by installing a programmable thermostat or turning off the lights when you leave a room can help. Read this article for more tips on how to use green energy!

Buying energy-efficient light bulbs is a great way to save money and use green energy in your home. These light bulbs take a couple minutes to use their maximum brightness. This delay allows less energy to be used when turning on the lights in your home, which is a great way to save energy!

When away from home, cover the windows. They will help to keep the temperature and the energy consumption of the house down when the house is vacant. Generally, your home’s south-facing walls and windows receive the most sun exposure. Thermally insulated black-out curtains are the best option, but blinds and shades can also work.

If you are charging products within your home, use smart green ideas to conserve energy by unplugging these devices when you are done. Even when they are fully charged, these units still consume energy and cost you money. So unplug them when they are finished, and save some energy and money.

Make sure that your home is completely sealed from all drafts, if you want to live green and use the principals of green energy. Windows and doors are your biggest culprits for letting hot and cold air out of your home. So, seal them up and start saving money.

Conserving energy is one of the single most important things that we all can do to make the world a better place. Keeping the environment in mind is necessary to decrease pollution and make global warming a lesser threat. Remember the tips in this article to make your home greener!

Explorer crash on opening of some folder having viedos

While working on win xp i have faced many problems whose solution is not there even with MS people..

one such problem is the occurrence of explorer. According to ms people it happens because o corrupt codecs. But when it happened with me i couldn’t found any such problem. Anyway.. they still didn’t gave any solution for this. what happens exactly is that when you open some folder containing videos it results in a crash of explorer and explorer restarts and you get a window to sen error report.

Well, the solution [temporary] is that open that folder and quickly [before ur explorer crash again] change the view from thumbnails to ANY other.  Even after doing so the explorer will crash but next time when u open the same folder.. it wont crash again if its in icon view or detail view[but not thumbnail]. Now in explorer open Tools>folder options>view>now uncheck “hide protected os files” . a warning will be displayed.. ignore it.. click apply.

now goto that folder. you may see a file named thumbs.db. delete it. Now again goto Tools>folder options>view>now check “hide protected os files” for safety. and click apply

now u may again change the view of that folder to thumbnails. but if it crashes again then repeat the above said process and dont use the thumbnails view again for that folder until you format the system in future.

The Motorola Surfboard SB6183

The succes of Motorola SB 6121 and SB6141 led to the apparition of the upgraded version of those. The Motorola Surfboard SB6183 represents the newest in the 600 series cable modem line offered by Arris. This will be for sure the one who will fulfill the always increased demands for personal multimedia experience at super fast broadband speed.

In other words, it allows you to stream HD videos, play online games, do online shopping, download huge files, work, get high-quality VoLP voice calls, start video conferences and run peer-to-peer networking applications.

How can you actually get this speed from the SB6183?

The answer is DOCSIS and especially the latest DOCSIS 3.0 technology. DOCSIS stands for data over cable service interface specification and represents the international standard established in order to ensure high speed data transfer mode for existing cable TV (CATV) devices. By using the DOCSIS 3.0, the Motorola Surfboard SB6183 can connect up to sixteen downstream channels and four upstream channels.

How does the connection of the channels help?

Basically, every data channel has a certain size. If you combine two channels into a single broadband conduit, the channel will be larger than those two you combined. This is the case for the Arris Motorola SB6183. It has 16 bonded download channels that offer you the possibility to get up to 686 MBps for your downloads. More data can come through the bigger channel at any time than the smaller ones. Anyway, the upload speed will be 131 MBps at any time.

The Surfboard SB6183 only works on cable, so before buying it make sure you are on cable. For the USA shouldn`t be a problem because most of the houses are wired for cable, but those from outside of USA should check first. After this, you should also check what type of broadband package you are getting from your service provider.

Does your broadband package offer you that type of throughput?

The main question you should ask is if the carrier in your area can offer that kind of throughput. In certain areas there may be some technical issues your provider should take care of if it wants to offer that type of throughput. As an example, with Time Warner Cable (TWC), you should at least opt for their 300/20 MBps Ultimate plan. You should consider also that there are various areas covered by TWC that are still working on 4×1 bonding.

So, if you live in one of those areas that cannot offer you the broadband you need, you will spend unnecessary money on the Motorola Surfboard SB6183 if you think you will get extra speed. Before buying, you should check if your provider can offer you that kind of throughput.

For the future, the Motorola SB6183 can prove very helpful because it is estimated that higher throughput will be needed because of the intense video streaming, multimedia contents, interactive online games, huge file downloads etc. If this will be the case, than the Motorola SB6141 may prove cost-effective, a tremendous investment. A cable modem like the Motorola released will be perfect for higher broadband demands.

Technology Investor

Newton's In Search Of The Perfect Investment. Technology Investor. Previous Columns
8:30 AM Tuesday, March 8, 2005: There is talk among my savvy traders of an upcoming, short tech rally. I really can't get too excited. Presently I'm enjoying the perfect weather of California's Coachella Valley. Another day and I'll be jaded. For now, I'm playing tennis and reading books next to the pool. The good news is that stocks with recovering management problems are recovering nicely. Remember I told you about the investment management firm that finds fallen angels? The firm is Pittsburgh's Snow Capital. I put some money with them a week ago. They're already up about 1 1/2 per cent -- which surprised me (and probably them). For more on them, click here.

Too good to be true? Remember Friday's column about managed futures -- a fancy name for writing put and call options. I published the company's alleged returns on their investors' monies:

2004 + 32%
2003 + 66%
2002 + 71%
2001 +102%

I kept my comments low key. I wondered how many readers would email me the obvious: "The returns are too good to be true." Sure, enough a bunch of you did.

The first step in looking at any potential "perfect" investment, is to ask yourself "Are the returns too high?" And then ask yourself, "Are they high for a reason?" -- like to suck you in.

Personally I've had my fill of alleged high returns. In the end, high, unusual, unreal returns turn out to be exactly that -- unusual and unreal. And, worse, you often lose all your savings.

The Ponzi Scheme: Con Man for the Ages. Roger Lowenstein wrote the brilliant book "When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management." In Friday's Wall Street Journal he wrote a review of a new book called Ponzi's Scheme.

I always wondered how the original Ponzi scheme worked. Here's Lowenstein's wonderful explanation:

"There is nothing quite like a good Ponzi scheme. A wily promoter pays off existing investors by raising cash from new ones, announces triumphant results and repeats the cycle anew. What could go wrong? In practice, just about everything. In recent times, dot-com ventures tried to subsist on selling stock, the buyers of which were paid off by later investors. Most of these ventures went bust, of course, but at least a few had a passing shot at earning genuine profits.

The same cannot be said of Charles Ponzi, the turn-of-the-century Italian immigrant who gave this genre of fraud a name. Mitchell Zuckoff's biography of this charming rogue, "Ponzi's Scheme: The True Story of a Financial Legend" (Random House, 390 pages, $25.95), provokes our wonder precisely because his subject is so brazen -- and yet so naively captive to his own delusions.

Landing in Boston in 1903, Ponzi dreams of gold but fails at job after job and twice lands in jail (once for forgery). In time, he graduates from manual labor to white-collar work, where the scent of finance arouses him. In 1920, and with only the barest outline of a business in mind, the 37-year-old drifter launches the Securities Exchange Co. For financing, he offers to borrow money on a signed note, payable in 45 days at the fantastic interest rate of 50%. Compounded over a year, sums would increase 2,500%.
[Ponzi's Scheme]

It is unclear whether he intended for his financing vehicle to dwarf his presumptive trading business, but it quickly did. The prospect of spectacular returns spread by word of mouth, first among Boston's Italian neighborhoods, then more generally in the Hub, then to more than a dozen satellite cities where Ponzi opened branches.

In February 1920 he sold $5,000 worth of notes; by June, the total had soared to $2.5 million. Such growth ensured that early investors could be paid in full (though many chose to reinvest), and as word of their "profits" circulated, more investors took the plunge. By summer, it was common to see School Street, outside Ponzi's office, jammed with workers bearing their small but hard-won savings, soon to be handed over. Mr. Zuckoff does a good job of portraying (and often, naming) these people: bricklayers, waiters, grocers, trolley drivers.

What possessed them to invest? Ponzi's scheme had a slender thread of plausibility, based on an obscure niche in the world's postal network. By international agreement, nations issued a common stamp, known as International Reply Coupons, which could be redeemed for postage in any country. (This was useful for international trade.) Ponzi, who had clerked for an import-export business, realized that the prices of these coupons did not reflect the huge currency devaluations that had followed World War I. Thus $100 translated into lire could buy much more postage in Rome than the same $100 could buy in New York. Ponzi explained to investors, always with sufficient vagueness, that his fabulous returns stemmed from buying coupons in bulk overseas.

However lucrative the idea might be in theory, Ponzi quickly learned that there was no practical way to buy and transport large quantities of coupons. Nor was there any way of turning them into cash (and Ponzi could hardly hope to pay off his investors in stamps). In fact, there was no evidence that Ponzi actually traded in coupons. Investors hardly cared. As Mr. Zuckoff observes: "Like a magician who focuses his audience's attention on one hand while performing feats of prestidigitation with the other, Ponzi knew the details of the transactions were less interesting than the promised results."

A master of the soft sell, he sent cards to investors in advance of their notes coming due, reminding them to come in and collect -- thus reinforcing his image as a man concerned with his investors' welfare. Even the police detectives sent to keep tabs on this financial whiz ended up investing with him.

Latent class resentment in tribal Boston bolstered his appeal. A diminutive, ambitious outsider, Ponzi had found the doors to the Anglo-Saxon establishment shut. When he began to rake in millions, he had the exquisite pleasure of taking control of a bank, Hanover Trust, that had coldly rejected his loan application less than a year before. Mr. Zuckoff notes that Ponzi's investors may not have known for certain whether Ponzi was on the level, "but they were rooting for him."

With his dapper Palm Beach suits, silk handkerchiefs and snazzy cars, he exuded confidence. Even when the tide began to turn, and lines of anxious sellers formed outside his office, Ponzi refused to run. Rather, he calmly served hot dogs and doughnuts to the people waiting for their money, as if to confirm his (wholly fallacious) claim to solvency.

Mr. Zuckoff puts us on the trail with the investigators and journalists who track Ponzi down. (Clarence Barron, owner of this newspaper, was an early doubter.) He tells the story of the Boston Post, which makes a crusade of catching Ponzi, and recounts, unnecessarily, the career of James Michael Curley, Boston's colorful and corrupt mayor. Perhaps the author has in mind a broader social narrative, but this is a story with only one star.

Indeed, Ponzi's downfall was brought about chiefly by the man himself. He has the opportunity to flee with a bundle but dreams of vindicating the faith of his investors and of Rose, his modest and loyal-to-a-fault wife. So he desperately searches for some new enterprise -- banking perhaps? international shipping? -- that will deliver the gains he owes, allowing him to get off the treadmill and go legit. But in the meantime, to redeem his notes, Ponzi has to keep writing new ones. In July 1920, the Securities Exchange Co. takes in an astonishing $6 million. Of course, this means that another $9 million in obligations will soon come due.

By November (less than a year after it had all begun), the debonair financier has pleaded guilty to mail fraud. We are left to wonder, as with the modern, Enron-era crooks, what it is that makes such people think that they can get away with it all. Perhaps it is in their genes. Released in 1924, Ponzi made for Florida just in time for the land boom. He set up a real-estate venture and offered investors profits of 200%. He returned to jail, was eventually deported and died broke."

How dumb can you be? The chief executive of the Boeing Company, Harry C. Stonecipher, who was brought out of retirement 15 months ago to clean up the company's tarnished image and restore its credibility, was forced to resign yesterday after admitting an affair with a female Boeing executive. Mr. Stonecipher, married and with grown children, was forced out for having violated an internal code of conduct that he had imposed on all Boeing employees as he tried to improve the company's actions and image.

This is Harry C. Stonecipher, a sex symbol for somebody inside Boeing. It must be the puppy-dog wrinkles. I'm practicing the expression. I suspect my wife will say, "You look silly, not sexy."

Sulphur at Whole Foods: They're opening another Whole Foods store in New York. My local store has 9,000 customers on average a day! I tried to get Whole Foods to carry Dole raisins, which are the best. But Whole Foods rejected the Dole raisins because they contained sulphur. A Whole Foods rep wrote me, "That is just one of the requirements vendors have to live with to do business with Whole Foods. If the chemical involved is not naturally occurring in the product it cannot be introduced in any subsequent processing." Meantime, the stock continues to rise:

Offending another group
Last week it was the Polish. Today's it's Jewish mothers. I figure I can't possibly be offensive if I insult every group.

Jewish mothers have no problem figuring when life begins. It's simple. The fetus is not considered viable until it graduates from medical school or law school.

Q: Why don't Jewish mothers drink?
A: Alcohol interferes with their suffering .

Q: Have you seen the newest Jewish-American-Princess horror movie?
A: It's called "Debbie Does Dishes."

Q: Why do Jewish mothers make great parole officers?
A: They never let anyone finish a sentence .

When the doctor called Mrs. Liebenbaum to tell her that her check came back, she replied, "So did my arthritis."

A Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother he has a part in the play.
She asks, "What part is it?
The boy says, "I play the part of the Jewish husband."
The mother scowls and says, "Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part."

Q: Where does a Jewish husband hide money from his wife?
A: Under the vacuum cleaner .

Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: (Sigh) Don't bother. I'll sit in the dark. I don't want to be a nuisance to anybody.

Did you hear about the bum who walked up to a Jewish mother on the street and said, "Lady I haven't eaten in three days."
She replied, "So, force yourself."

Q: What's the difference between a Rottweiler and a Jewish mother?
A: Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.

Q: Why are Jewish Men circumcised?
A: Because Jewish women don't like anything that isn't 20% off.

This enables them to be much more confident in precisely what they achieve, which may imply the work is carried out quicker, with much less waste material, as well as with much better results.

Any of the employees may go to the injection molding seminars. Brand-new workers will make use of having the ability to understand far more concerning the industry and exactly how it works while staff members who have worked together with the company for many years could discover more about enhancements in their particular field as well as exactly how they’re able to make their work simpler to do.

Business people are going to desire to invest in their own employees to be able to make their own business much more productive.

If perhaps your employees might reap the benefits of additional education or perhaps you want to find out a lot more regarding the training for scientific molding, visit today. Take some time in order to learn more with regards to the added benefits and to be able to see how your employees could be involved in the education they will have to have.

Mamathi Chari is the first contestant to be eliminated from Bigg Boss Tamil season 2. She got lesser votes than Ponnambalam, Ananth Vaidyanathan and Ponnambalam, who was announced safe on Saturday's episode itself.

The multifaceted TV actress had not done much to neither win the viewers' hearts nor the love of the inmates. The only person with whom she shared good rapport was with Mumtaz.
Maybe, her proximity with Mumtaz overshadowed her original character. However, she had managed to earn some respect from the netizens when she had spoken positive things about Nithya, who has been cornered by almost all the members of the house.
Apparently, Mamtathi's comment on being a slave to her master in a task had not gone well with the viewers. With her elimination, now there are 15 contestants - Yashika Aannand, Ponnambalam, Mahat Raghavendra, Daniel Anne Pope, Vaishnavi, Janani Iyer, Ananth Vaidyanathan, Ramya NSK, Sendrayan, Riythvika, Mumtaz, Thadi Balaji, Nithya Balaji, Shariq Hassan and Aishwarya Dutta - are in the Vijay TV's show.
Interestingly, netizens are not happy with Mamathi's elimination. They are of the views that her stay in the house might have provided some entertainment to the audience. Here, we bring you selected-few comments made by the fans:

Indhu V: Mamthi is too intelligent and cultured to be in BB house. Only the flirt, pervert, idiot, moron, conceited and abusive people will survive in BB because of stupid public vote and inmate nomination.
#BiggBossTamil #BiggBossTamil2 #mamathichari
Mumtaz_Navy: Tamil Nadu people are really stupid and making votes. Seriously this is why their country is corrupted with useless politicians. I really feel sorry for Mamathi. She was one of the best contestant in #BiggBossTamil2. Hope to see her again in wild card round

kaviya: #Biggbosstamil why mamati.. ananth poirukalam.. show inum intrst ah irunthrkum.. if mamathi is inside the house instead of ananth #wrongdecision she was gud actually
Vidya: #Mamathi is the perfect example of how often time when you dedicate yourself to make everyone feel loved and appreciated, people forget to love you. Taught me a very important lesson about life today. Love you always#MamathiChari #BiggBossTamil #BiggBossTamil2 @vijaytelevision

Vidhya Victor: Actually Anand sir should be eliminated bcz he didn't contribute much. Mamathi is brainy she has the ability to twist or to change the game.
Too late we took a wrong decision in voting ❌
Ƭяα∂ιтισηαℓ Ƥяιηcєѕѕ: Actually Mamathi doesn't deserve eviction. But she is out of the house coz she handles any stressful situation calmly and doesn't create controversies. Only dramaqueens, crybabies, flirts and egoists survive on BigBoss coz they provide entertainment

VSOP: She is in media and know how to speak and attract audience. She poured Honey drop speech and some Brainless people melted on that. Really brain less people now shouting for #Mamathi
People predicted Ananth's elimination

People had expected Ananth Vaidyanathan to be evicted from the show, but to everybody's surprise Mamathi Chari has been shown the door. In fact, Ananth himself was not confident of his stay in the house.

After announcing that Ananth Vaidyanathan was safe, Kamal Haasan told Ananth that he has got abundance of love and support from the public and he should fight back to stay in the game.
"Do not accept the defeat easily," Kamal Haasan told Ananth.

Earlier Story:

After Ponnambalam was saved by Kamal Haasan on Saturday's episode (June 30) of Bigg Boss Tamil 2, Mumtaz, Mamathi Chari and Ananth Vaidyanathan are in the danger zone. Indeed, one of the three will be shown the door on Sunday.
This is the first elimination in this season as there was no eviction in its first week. Based on the votes of the inmates, Mumtaz, Mamathi Chari, Ponnambalam and Ananth Vaidyanathan were pushed to the danger zone.

Netizens predicted either Ponnambalam or Ananth would be out of Bigg Boss Tamil 2 this week. With the former being saved, there are high chances of the latter being evicted from the show. By his own admission, he is happy to leave the house.
Ananth Vaidyanathan is struggling to bond with the inmates who are much younger than him. Moreover, he could not give his 100 percent to the tasks due to health issues.

However, a section of the audience is of the opinion that Ananth might be saved this week and Mamathi Achari would be shown the door.
Nonetheless, there is a strong belief among the audience that Mumtaz would not be eliminated considering her fan following. In fact, she is a strong contender to win the season.

P:R Regular Spotlight: Joel Carroll!

Note: The key strength that has kept Project: Rooftop going strong for over five years is the artists who contribute. From our co-founder Dean Trippe to a elite list of artists who by their own passion and ingenuity have become regulars here at the site. You see their names regularly in contests and individual designs, but we thought it worth it to show all their work submitted (so far!) in one place. First up: Joel Carroll.  – Chris A.

More after the jump!

26 comments to “P:R Regular Spotlight: Joel Carroll!”
  1. It’s weird how similar Joel’s Batman design is to the current Nightwing design. Great minds, huh? Anyway, this is a great idea. Can’t wait for Jemma Salume and Ming Doyle’s turns!

  2. Good stuff all around, I think the two that stuck out to me most were the two Aquaman looks, either of which would be much better than anything Arthur Curry has sported, ever.

    Also the western-themed Dr. Strange is something that should happen.

  3. Joel Carroll is one of my favourite artists here at P:R. I love his style, I love his design sensibilities, I love it all! I think my favourites would be his Flashes, The Falcon and his first Aquaman. Great designs! I hope to see more of ’em! :)

  4. A great collect of strong designs, except for that Cyclops/Jean Grey nightmare. My favs are the second Aquaman, very sleek – and that cowboy Doctor Strange.

  5. Great stuff. For me the stand outs are:
    –Doctor Strange and Power Girl. Two of the worst costumes in all of comics corrected, and done brilliantly.

    –Either of those Aquaman looks for me is a nice nod to the way the actual books have gone, returning him to his sleeker look of the silver age, in which he actually looked like a king of Atlantis that spends 90% of his time gliding through the ocean and not some armored up hobo that resembles the old Warlord comics from the 70s.

    –Wonder Woman, if for no other reason than it takes the look of her classic boots and makes them real world functional, a feat everyone at DC seems to have trouble with.

    –The Rocketeer. A great tribute to one of the greatest and most overlooked costumes of all time.

  6. So many are simply amazing. That Flash has always been way cool to me.
    I’ve never seen that Power Girl till now. SO STYLISH!
    I very much wish that would be her new costume. Definitely would be an upgrade : )

  7. Love ’em all. Hadn’t seen some before either. Technical question but will these spotlight pages update as artists continue to contribute.

    Second the comment about awaiting Doyle and Salume spotlights.

  8. I love Joe’s designs for the Flash (especially the insignia) and his picture of Damien is amazing! Dr. Strange looks a little too much like a pimp but I still love it, and “The Good, The Bad, and The Strange” is an idea that has some serious potential to be epic. Also, Joe’s WW and Black Canary are some of the best redesigns I’ve ever seen for those two. Great job Joe!

  9. My favorite part of the Dr. Strange is the hand position. It’s the classic spellcasting gesture, but the placement by his sides is reminiscent of an Old West shootout.

yes! i do have a brain.

For years I've known I needed to get on the "food storage" thing.  It's always overwhelmed me.  But, for some reason, I decided 2012 is my year (go me!).  Maybe it's the whole increase of random earthquakes, tsunamis, global warming yadda, yadda.  Honestly, not to make light of these events....I want to be able to take care of my family, no matter the circumstances.   I know preparing is important, but I'm also not an alarmist. So, food storage...where to begin.  I decided to start by stocking up on things my family will actually use/consume/eat.  But, since I'm kind of an organization freak, I first had to make organized charts to keep track of all of these  things.  Problem?  I am super challenged on the computer.  Learning to work my way around a blog was major.....trying to create a nice, colorful inventory chart...paramount.  But, after only a short two hours this morning, success. Don't laugh, I know in the eternal scheme things, it doesn't sound very impressive.  But, I was pleased that I do have a brain that can still learn and create something more than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  I was also reminded of a talk by Pres.Uchtdorf.  So, today I learned how to "create" some charts on my computer.  A small triumph for me, but it made me happy and feel capable.

BTW...if your interested in doing the whole food storage thing,  there are a million resources, but here's one that I really like preparedldsfamily.

Tomorrow is Saturday....take 15 minutes and "create" are capable!!!

peanut butter toast

It's 12:01 in the pm and I am still in my pajamas. That's kind of how I roll on Mondays.  They are my laundry/ Sadie day.  The day I attack ten loads, and stay close to my computer waiting for Sadie's email.

Last Thursday I had this crazy craving for peanut butter toast with honey and bananas.  It's something I like, but rarely make (like I haven't made it for at least a year).  But… I could not stop thinking about that toast, so finally, I broke out the toaster. And then I thought, "yum!…note to self, make more peanut butter toast."

     Sadie's email arrived at  11:01 am today, along with a few pics, including this one…
toast she made for her companion last week.  Coincidence?  No.  Blessings?  Yes.  One of those little reminders from my Heavenly Father that although Sadie may be several hundred miles away.  She is still so very close to my heart.
Happy Monday my beautiful readers.

2015 Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc

Appearance is delightfully fresh, showing pale strawgreen hues. The nose has initial savoury, herbal aromatics leading to subtle stone fruit and delicate citrus blossom notes. There is a distinct white peach character, as well as a fine, very pleasing oak presence.

This wine displays all the hallmarks of a textbook Chenin Blanc with its fine, mineral textured, yet wonderfully rich palate, beautifully poised acidity and abundant succulent fruit flavours. It shows sensational freshness, and creates a long lasting finish that literally meanders for minutes after each delicious sip.

Disappointed police job aspirants turn violent

July 25th, 2011 - 7:11 pm ICT by IANS

Firozabad (Uttar Pradesh), July 25 (IANS) Thousands of police job aspirants here Monday turned violent, damaging vehicles and public property and fought pitched battles with the police after they were told to come after a few days to collect application forms.

Around 3,000 youths had queued up at the General Post Office (GPO) to buy forms for the constable level recruitment in Uttar Pradesh Police. When told to come after a few days, they got angry and resorted to vandlism.

“Youths resorted to large-scale violence and vandalism when they came to know about the unavailability of recruitment forms. They damaged as many as 10 public vehicles and even tried to set some of them afire,” police inspector Harishankar Chandra told reporters in Firozabad, some 300 km from Lucknow.

Police had to baton charge the unruly youths when they refused to leave the GPO complex and continued to target public property.

“The aspirants also indulged in heavy brick-batting when we tried to intervene in the matter. As they turned unruly, we had no option other than to use force. However, no one was seriously injured in the incident,” said Chandra.

“The situation is still tense. Security has been strengthened in the area,” he added.

I am a Montessori teacher and have been working in Nurseries all around the country for the last 10 years. I also trained at Leith's School of Food and Wine and I love cooking for my children and friends and combining these 2 loves seemed like a fab idea to me.

As I Montessori teacher I know how important it is for children to learn and explore in their own time and at their own free will. Maria Montessori said, "Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes" and "To assist a child we must provide him/her with an environment which will enable him/her to develop freely". This is what our aim is at The Wendy House, we believe every child should be able to choose the toys they wish to play with and do so in an environment which is safe, clean and friendly.

As a mother I wanted somewhere to take my children where I knew they would enjoy the toys on offer and I could sit down and enjoy a nice drink, slice of cake or a bit of lunch.

When my daughter Florence was born my friends and I found it really hard to relax whilst out and trying to have a coffee and a catch up. 15 months later my son Theo arrived and hanging out in a coffee shop with nothing to entertain them had become impossible.

Because of this The Wendy House was born, we are a well designed children's play space. Inside you will find a variety of well-made toys for the children, a wendy house (of course), a play kitchen, dressing up, books and much more. There is also a dedicated baby area where they are free to crawl around without being disturbed by the older children.

Come and have a look around and meet some other lovely Mums and Dads.

Look forward to seeing you all

Bead Loom Bracelets Book Review

About the Book: Bead Loom Bracelets features detailed instructions and step-by-step illustrations for making seven different bracelets. All of them are surprisingly simple to make. The book comes with all the supplies you need, including beading floss, needles, and thousands (really!) of sparkling seed beads, bugle beads, and specialty beads.

Our Take: This cool book/kit from Klutz gives kids the chance to create their own jewelry with the bead loom!   My wife and daughter had a blast with this one and it really gave them something fun to do together.  The book provides great projects with simple illustrated instruction.  The kit includes the loom, thread and beads, along with a pad of design sheets!  Our daughter wears her own jewelry with pride and couldn't be more pleased with this one.  This would make a fantastic Xmas gift!

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi
For Family Writers

Since the undisputable and prevailing storm of the Biafra Restoration came like a deluge over Nigeria, which precipitated the Arewa Youths to issue a three months ultimatum to the Igbos (Biafrans) residing in the North to vacate, latest by 1st October, 2017, uncountable number of Biafran enemies have taken to tagging Biafrans, misguided and brainwashed bigots who are seeking relevance. Some have even said that they don't hate the Igbos but have grouses with those advocating for the restoration of Biafra nation.

How correct is it to state that Igbos are not hated when virtually all Igbos are wholesomely Biafrans! Igbos are just hated for whom they are and out of envy.

It was former Nigeria military despot and later, a President, Olusegun Obasanjo that first called Biafra agitators, miscreants. He retracted that statement when he personally discovered that the Biafra quest was never a fluke. Now the same Obasanjo has gone pleading to the Biafrans to stay back in the evil concoction called Nigeria, seeing the unquenchable resilience of the people, saying that there will be enough of "cake" to share.

High on the list of those seemingly deceitful morons calling Biafra agitators brainwashed and misguided, are the Yorubas and all those that supported and voted in the tyrannical Islamic fundamentalist President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, believing him to be their messiah.

Realistically, it is evident today that all those who voted in a man who has no WAEC certificate to preside over the country, are indisputably the brainwashed and grossly misguided individuals. What on earth can lure people even the self-acclaimed educated, to so stupidly believe in an uniformed tyrant like Buhari if not by crass hypnotistic influence called brainwashing? They got it woefully wrong not only in Buhari, but in their jaundiced and parochial judgement of Biafrans.

We as Biafrans have wholely rejected the evil enclave called Nigeria because of the prevalent wickedness in the so-called delusional "One - Nigeria" and there is absolutely no prevarication on that cause. We are fully intact as humans who believe in our God given destiny.

Recall that the early part of Nigeria's existence following the evil amalgamation, there existed lots of brilliant Biafran foremost brains like Nnamdi Azikiwe whose unequal contribution to the independence of the Nigerian from the British, will never be jettisoned even when the Northern oligarchical leaders opposed it. It was through the instrumentality of the wisdom of the Igbos that got the Northerners on board despite their riots then in opposition. This led extensively and regrettably though, to the gruesome killing of Igbos resident then in the North.

The Igbos (Biafrans) were handsomely dedicated to the Nigerian cause both in pre and post Independent Nigeria until the vicious hatred and killings of over 70,000 Igbos by the Hausa-Fulanis which held sway in 1966. This massacre actually gave the needed impetus for the agitation of Biafra. Those that returned home to Biafraland alive from the North, came back terribly maimed with various degrees of injury. But after many fruitless attempts to reconcile the old Eastern region with the North, the  Biafran nation was born. This is not a product of a brainwashed or misguided people. The killings of Biafrans by the North were not fictitious neither was the so-called Aburi accord.

Its over 50 years now that the genocidal war waged against Biafrans by Nigeria and her foreign allies ended, yet there is absolutely nothing tangible to show for it. Biafrans are yet confronted with myriads of dehumanising policies of the Nigerian state, the same issues that gave birth to the declaration of Biafra coupled with the just reactions of Biafrans. These cannot be said to have emanated from brainwashed, misguided and of course, glaringly overbearing indigenous population.

The marginalisation, the unjust and slavery treatment being meted out to Biafrans are real. Nigeria as a country, never lived out her creed. They promised to build a nation where peace and justice reign but experiences over the years have proven otherwise, with lies and deception. These amongst other factors are enough for our resolve on the Biafran project.

It is noteworthy to restate here that immediately the Nigeria/Biafra war ended in 1970, the Nigeria government through a trumped up policy, mortgaged all monies in the banks and only made offers to the Igbos who were capable of tendering bank papers, paltry sum of just 20 pounds to survive with. Just after rendering the Igbos financially impotent, they quickly indigenised all foreign businesses, closed down all sea ports in the Eastern region and all surviving Biafrans were forced towards Lagos sea ports for all importation transactions. These were aimed at grossly incapacitating Biafrans. Up till date, the wicked and monopolistic policies geared towards

criminally perpetuating the enslavement of Biafrans are conspicuously evident. All the supposed sea ports in Warri, Port Harcourt, Ugwuta, Onitsha, Calabar etc, have been economically nonexistent. They have blatantly refused to recondition these variably important locations, for the single reason that they will benefit the Igbos. Nigerian government has thus far mistaken by thinking that the only way to stifle the Igbos from demanding the restoration of Biafra, is by rendering them politically and economically impotent.

They succeeded in sharing Biafran oil wells/blocks amongst themselves and their cronies. The exclusive and morbid right over the country's leadership in their assumption is theirs, which of course they have out of the 57 years of Nigeria's existence as an Independence country, have ruled for more than 40 years. It took Nigeria almost 50 years to allow one International airport in the entire Southeast so-called. The recent railway construction and reconstruction projects saw vividly, the same region carefully being delisted. The purported loan grant sought by Muhammadu Buhari's government for infrastructural developments across the country, excluded the southeast and southsouth regions (Biafraland). These amongst many others, are uncontestable reasons we fight and seek unrepentantly, the unfettered restoration of Biafra as a nation. It is a fight against all shades of injustice, inequality, enslavement and marginalisation.

I am making irrelevant matters exceptionally relevant and my submission remains the truth.

#All hail Biafra!
#All hail Nnamdi Kanu!!
#In Biafra we stand!!!

German Catholic-Lutheran couple say some in mixed marriages feel rebuffed

Pinterest Google+

By Zita Ballinger Fletcher

WASHINGTON (CNS) — As the heated Communion debate continues in Germany, an interchurch couple directly affected by the Catholic Church’s decisions shared their story with Catholic News Service.

Herbert and Ines Heinecke have been married since 1994. They live in a small town in northern Germany and have three daughters. Herbert Heinecke is Catholic, and Ines Heinecke is Lutheran.

“For both of us, our faith was already an important element in our lives before our marriage,” the Heineckes told CNS in a written interview, submitting answers to questions as a couple. “As we got to know and love each other, we wanted also to shape this dimension of our life together.”

The first step was to get to know each other’s beliefs. They each learned about the core teachings of the other’s denomination and formed an in-depth understanding. The Heineckes say this strengthened not only their relationship, but “deepened our individual faith, because we had to reflect on and discuss many things which are self-evident within our own denomination.”

They said they formed a relationship that values both denominations. They baptized their daughters in the Catholic Church and raised them Christian. The children participated in activities in both parents’ churches. All three girls were altar servers in the Catholic Church, but also sang in Protestant youth choirs.

Likewise, the husband and wife participated in their own church communities, while working actively to support each other’s faith. Ines Heinecke is a member of her Protestant church council and sings in the choir. Herbert Heinecke is a member of his Catholic parish council and part of an ecumenical working group. The group organizes a monthly ecumenical service for families, in which Ines plays guitar in the Catholic church and Herbert participates in the celebration with the Protestant men’s group.

The Heineckes volunteer as leaders in Network Ecumenism, a nationwide support group for couples of different denominations. They said despite the high number of interfaith couples in Germany, many encounter a lack of pastoral care from their denominations in response to their unique needs.

Many interchurch couples “have experienced rebuffs and coldheartedness from the churches, which has strained their marriage and led to estrangement from church,” said the Heineckes.

Committed to living in complete unity, the Heineckes also live by their convictions with regard to receiving Communion. They go together to the Lutheran Lord’s Supper and the Catholic Eucharist.

“It would be totally unimaginable to us to be separated from each other at the table of the Lord, when we share our whole life together in everything else,” they said.

They said they have never encountered a pastor who has refused this to them, although some priests have been hesitant. Other interchurch couples have more difficulty.

“They sometimes experience rejection and find this very painful,” the Heineckes said. “Some pairs withdraw from shared participation in order not to cause difficulties for the respective pastor.”

The Heineckes’ beliefs about why they should share Communion are shared by many interchurch couples in Germany.

“Even as we as a married couple share together all beautiful and difficult moments, it is self-evident to us that we should practice our faith together — the shared participation in the Lord’s Supper and the Eucharist is therefore an absolutely elementary part of this.”

The Heineckes have been closely following the debate within the Catholic bishops’ conference of Germany regarding the sharing of Communion and view the bishops’ discord as “tragic.”

In early June, Pope Francis asked the bishops not to publish nationwide guidelines for allowing Protestants married to Catholics to receive Communion at Mass, but to continue having diocesan bishops judge specific situations. The text of the German guidelines was never made public, but it was widely assumed to foresee situations in which a Lutheran married to a Catholic and regularly attending Mass with the Catholic spouse could receive the Eucharist on a regular basis.

During an inflight news conference June 21, the pope was asked about the decision. He said the guidelines went beyond what is foreseen by the Code of Canon Law “and there is the problem.” The code does not provide for nationwide policies, he said, but “provides for the bishop of the diocese (to make a decision on each case), not the bishops’ conference.”

“This was the difficulty of the debate. Not the content,” he said.

The document divided the German bishops.

“The Catholic Church in Germany has been damaged by this conflict,” the Heineckes said, noting that “for many people, it is incomprehensible that the bishops are at odds” over this “instead of reacting together to the great challenges of our time.”

In a published letter criticizing his fellow bishops, Bishop Gerhard Feige of Magdeburg said the original intent of the bishops’ conference was to develop pastoral guidelines for individual cases, and he claimed that certain bishops portrayed it as an attempt to create a global church ruling. Citing evidence of media leaks, Bishop Feige supported his statements by exposing inconsistencies in the behavior of seven bishops who secretly contacted Rome.

“In this deepening division between Catholics; not only faith or intellectual spheres are clashing, but material interests and unsightly methods are also in play here,” Bishop Feige said, noting that the “victims of all this are the affected” married couples and families.

Brit Nails - Models Own Blooming Pink

Hi Goddesses

Today sees the heavenly collision of 2 firsts.  From now on, every Thursday will be Brit Nail Thursday.  The most common comment on the Giveaway is that you want to see more British polishes, so that's what we're gonna do - Barry and his M, Accessorize, Rimmel, a-England, W7, Nails Inc and ....

.... today we start with Models Own, who were kind enough to send me 3 polishes to review on the blog.   We're going to look at the first one today, and then the next 2 on the next 2 Thursdays.  Funny story.  When Models Own asked me what they should send, they pointed out that as a fan (which I am) there was the risk of them sending me something I already had.  So we excluded purples, blues and glitters, and in the end I ended up with 3 polishes I'm almost certain I wouldn't have bought, so it was quite a challenge for me to Crumpetise them :)  Actually though, I've loved every one.

So today we have Blooming Pink, which is blooming marvellous.  It's probably the one I would be most likely to buy, and is a perfect summer polish.   It's a dark swirl of a pink, closer to cerise and with strong red tones.  It's also LOADED with shimmer, making it perfect for summer sun (ie, everywhere but England, we're on like Day 75 of rain).

So how does Models Own rate as a polish?  Well, there's a few reasons they are genuinely one of my favourite British brands -

* the polishes last well and tend to be fairly chip resistant
* they are a mid-priced polish in the UK - about £5.  Bear in mind Nails Inc is £11, the same price we would pay for Zoya or OPI.   What I love most though, is that on their website, the more you buy, the cheaper they become.  This is a great way to reward your customers
* for a British brand they are quite innovative.  They have a good range of glitters, have done duochromes through the Beetlejuices, and are always on the lookout for something a little but different
* generally, UK polish doesn't follow the US pattern of Collection pause Collection pause Special Edition pause.   But Models Own does, and even better, you can buy them in discounted box sets
* their nail art pens are fabulous.  Pricey, but fabulous.
* oh and they do cool make up too

So back to the mani.  I used 3 coats of Blooming Pink as it was semi jellylike and took a while to build.  You can still see a teensy bit of VNL in the photos, but you honestly couldn't in real life.  I teamed it with Love Letters from Candy Lacquer, a riotous mix of pink and red glitter.

Don't they look made for each other?   I love the way the glitter "grounds" the polish - it makes it look more stable and slightly darker, making it the perfect base to show of the kaleidoscopic craziness of Love Letters.

This mani ended up looking great indoors, in the shade, and in the brief flash of sunshine we got that day.   Total winner.

Oh, and who's this you ask ?  Well, this is Big Fat Fliss, the neighbour's cat.  There I was, photo-clicking away in the garden, and I felt a hefty weight of fur rub against my ankles.  Naturally, I thought it was Pumpkin, but no, it was Fliss, who is HUGE - yes, even bigger than Pumpkin.   I like Fliss, but she hates Pumpkin - man, it's a tricky love triangle :(

You can buy Models Own here, on their website, and you can follow them on Facebook here.  Candy Lacquer can be found here on Etsy.

Enjoy xx :)

Models Own Blooming Pink was provided to me free for review.  The polish may be Models Own, but the views expressed about it are 100% Crumpet's Own :)

AcneCare – The Anti-Acne Complex x TDP Giveaway! (Closed)

Howdy Pretties! Hoping that as the Christmas is fast approaching, all is well. ^_^
And since it’s the first day of the month of October, I wanted to share with you dear readers a beauty product that could make us prettier by having a smoother and acne-free skin.

Anti-Acne Complex AcneCare

The Anti-Acne Complex AcneCare with Lactoferrin produced by VIDA NutriScience, Inc is another promising beauty product that could help us get rid of that unwanted ugly acnes and pimples. I know that many men and women especially young adults are suffering on that oiliness and ugliness that’s why we wanted to try almost all the products that connotes beauty. Well, let’s face it that nowadays; having a clear, smooth and acne-free skin has the edge on everything so sometimes it becomes a necessity.

Taking care of our body especially with our skin should start from within. Thus, VIDA NutriScience, Inc. produced a supplement that can help our skin gets its nourishment from within, so that we can say bye-bye to those beauty that are just treating from the outside.
Anti-Acne Complex AcneCare

Another first from the Philippines, AcneCare is the first oral pill for acne in the Philippines that has revolutionary contents – combines the three potent skin medicines (Acne3 Complex)– listed below.

1. Lactoferrin is naturally produced by the body as part of its immune mechanism. The highest concentration can be found in mothers’ first milk or colostrum. Lactoferrin has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-allergic and even anti-cancer properties. Increasing the amount of Lactoferrin in your diet targets the causes of acne from the inside: no bacteria, no virus, no allergies. You only get smooth, baby soft skin.

2. LinumLife is extracted from flax, a plant rich in lignans. When ingested, LinumLife is converted into our body’s own lignans which controls the level of the male hormone testosterone. Lower levels of testosterone mean less sebum or oil on the skin surface.

3. Zinc, when taken orally, increases the body’s production of collagen, boosts the immune system and controls the levels of male hormones. Zinc helps repair broken skin, controls premature aging, prevents breakouts and lessens oil-production.

These are the three key ingredients to a smooth, spot-less and acne-free skin that is protected and maintained from within the body. Take advantage of the wonders that your own body can do for your skin. Add a healthy dose of AcneCare to your diet for truly healthy, beautiful and glowing skin. Moreover, I still have visible pimple and acne scar that’s why I am also taking AcneCare with Lactoferrin oral anti-acne pill and I’m already on my 5th day, so far so good. I’ll be doing a full review after I finish one bottle that contains 30 capsules. P885/bottle.

Meanwhile, I also wanted you to try this product that’s why I am giving away one bottle.
