The following is a new article from somewhere.Lisbon - Portuguese firefighters have brought under control all the blazes which have ravaged the parched country over the past two weeks, the civil protection agency said on Thursday.Across the country 850 firefighters backed by 600 soldiers were still monitoring the sites of recent blazes though to guard against flare-ups, it said in a statement.Firefighters began to get the upper hand against runaway fires which have destroyed homes and forced the evacuation of dozens of people from several mountain villages on Wednesday thanks to the arrival of cooler weather and higher air humidity levels.The latest wave of wildfires to hit the country, facing its worst drought since 1945, began on August 12 but worsened considerably over the weekend when over 50 blazes raged out of control amid scorching temperatures.

forex_universe: Surviving The Commodity Markets, Part 6 - Trading Guidelines For Different Account Sizes - To Reduce Fear

October 9th, 2008 by admin

Array-ne Shortly after 9/11–and conveniently ignored while the world press grappled with events–the media in Eritrea was essentially eliminated. It is one of the world’s leading jailers of journalists, most infamously because of the week of Sept 18-25, 2001, when at least 18 journalists were rounded up, all free media was banned (and remaining media workers fled or went into hiding). This briefly brought the conditions in Eritrea to the front pages of world media, but it seems unlikely that the government’s increasing isolation will change conditions for the surviving prisoners.

PZ subjected himself to the ordeal of reading the anti-evolution chapters in Godless, the new book by right-wing demagogue Ann Coulter. Coulter decided to enlist in the evolution wars on the side of the creationists and PZ thought it reasonable to dissect her arguments. Let me explain what is not an appropriate reply:Cackling that Coulter must be right because she’s got “liberal panties in a twist” is not cogent.Promising to pray for me, or assuring me that I will burn in hell, is not cogent.Explicit details about how Ann Coulter is sexier than “fat harry hippie jew girls” Ann Coulter has written this long book full of creationist gobbledygook. I can’t possibly take the whole thing apart, so I’m asking the Coulter fans to get specific in their support. I’ll reply with details of my disagreement (or heck, maybe you’ll find some innocuous paragraph that I agree with—I’ll mention that here, too.)Because the letters I am getting suggest that those fans have some comprehension problems, I’ll spell it out.Read Coulter’s book, Godless. I’m finding that Coulter fans are fervent and enthusiastic and insistent, so asking them to take baby steps with me and show me the simplest first fragments that will lead to my comprehension of the wit and insight of the faboo Ms Coulter shouldn’t be too much to ask.PZ’s clarification was just what the doctor ordered. The results were practically instantaneous and virtually miraculous (not actually miraculous, because there’s no such things as miracles—except possibly for the fact that Coulter still has any credibility left):Coulter Challenge status, day 4Official number of attempts to address my challenge of the science in Coulter’s book:0I seem to have drawn in one Coulter fan in the comments who can’t shut up, but he hasn’t got the guts to stand up for anything specific that she has said.As you can see, PZ was essentially correct when he surmised that the conditions of his challenge were too restrictive. June 20, 2006 08:38 PMHas everyone seen the footage of Coulter running, arms akimbo, hands flapping in fear, away from that thrown pie? June 20, 2006 09:08 PMWord is they’re busy setting up research on how to count beyond three.To be fair, you know, the Coulterites are very, very devout. While Tumbler has a point about the value of invective when it comes to making an argument, he has entirely missed the key fact that Coulter’s diatribe had already been demolished by PZ. and welcome to the Internet), or are you saying the because goofballs from around the world say goofy things nobody has provided any real criticism of Ann Coulter? June 21, 2006 02:08 AMZeno:I know you went to Caltech and all, so I feel compelled to clear this up:We deliver kegs on every store within two miles of campus (including stationers and TV repair places): Party School.30-year-old D&D games continuing under Fleming: not so much.Posted by: Llelldorin | Coulter quotes Mein Kampf, that absolutely does not mean she has read it. June 21, 2006 09:46 AMI’m sure I have the greatest respect for Ann Coulter :-) :-) ; June 21, 2006 11:33 PMThey’ll defend my right to say something when they really hate what I say. June 22, 2006 12:53 AMAs one might have expected by now, Tumbler insisted on missing the point of my remark about my defense of his right to prate nonsense. But it’s enough for now to say, “That’s Coulter, I agree.” conducted by, of all musicians, a German born in the late 30’s.Anyway, Coulter and I do not deserve being associated with Hitler’s or Mussolini’s crimes. June 22, 2006 11:10 AMI most certainly did not associate you with Hitler, tumbler, and I would advise you to be very careful how personal that you decide to get in this forum.Posted by: Kristine | he was never aggressive or antagonistic with Ann Coulter. Considering that England is much more a reader’s country than ours, where nobody likes anything but bodice-busters—the public will appreciate Coulter. All he says is, “Maybe they would not have gone along with genocide, but it’s easy to imagine Coulter in an earlier day gushing over parades of those ‘wholesome’ That’s Coulter.”You know it’s a weasel’s way of defaming Coulter and her “ilk”—as others around here say—as Neo-Nazis. I mention him rather than Coulter only because I don’t have any handy citations from her comparing Iraq war opponents to Chamberlain, whereas it was a well known part of Miller’s schtick.Speaking of what the first amendment actually does as opposed to what you think it does, its effect is to keep Miller safe from any repercussions to making this kind of “association” The first amendment is not a scapular that one wears to ward off those pesky demagogues, but a very brave declaration that rights will be upheld even when they cause us inconvenience.Obviously, neither you nor Coulter is responsible for the rise of Hitler. For that matter, I think very few people that have ever lived (including Ann Coulter) would be able to countenance Hitler’s crimes with full understanding. The fact that Coulter, myself, and probably you were not alive at the time is sufficient protection.Note: there were many foolish people on the left who admired Stalin and were willing to soft-pedal the atrocity that was China’s cultural revolution under Mao. Oddly, that doesn’t seem to stop Coulter from somehow linking everything she does not like to “Darwinism” If you conceded such a trait to me, you’d be half-way to understanding Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter is also entitled. I’m amused at Coulter stating balls-out, “Invade their countries, kill and conquer and convert them to Christianity …” But they AREN’T amusing, as Ann Coulter is amusing. June 22, 2006 12:55 PMAll good things must come to an end—bad things, tooAlthough Tumbler had poured many, many words into the comment thread (I haven’t even included all of them here in these excerpts!), people at PZ’s blog are mostly smart enough to notice when we’re getting lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing.It seems to me this thread has strayed very far from PZ’s original intent; he wants a Coulter fan (that eliminates me) to offer up a passage from chapters 8-11, and then show why he/she supports said passage.Here’s your opportunity, tumbler. I humbly suggest that you have your chance, right here and now, to show us.I cannot do so, because in spite of reading 10 or so books a year, I refuse to buy a Coulter book.Let’s right this ship and allow tumbler to defend Coulter in the manner PZ described. you are making random noises.If you haven’t read Coulter’s book, shut up. June 22, 2006 07:48 PMBloodied, but unbowed, Tumbler continued to talk past everyone who tried to discuss things with him. June 22, 2006 11:58 PMGee, what exactly did Tumbler think he was offering? At last count, the Coulter Challenge status, day 4 post has 180 comments, with Tumbler still in excellent form for dodge-ball.

-ne (Originally posted at the Oikos blog)The recent debate over the decision by the Australian Environment Minister to refuse consent to a wind farm because of its possible impacts on the endangered orange-bellied parrot has prompted me to say a few things about Australia’s primary piece of environmental legislation, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act).In case you missed the story, orange-bellied parrots are highly endangered, with less than 200 left in the wild. That is what some people have suggested this decision is really about and it is interesting that the Environment Minister has recently called for a national code on wind energy.Inappropriate for cumulative impactsAn interesting aspect of this decision is that the Environment Minister has refused the proposed 52-turbine windfarm at Bald Hills but has approved substantially larger projects nearby – including one that, according to the Age article (and presumably under the curious licensing scheme of the Act), he has expressly authorised to kill three of the parrots each year.The Minister has claimed that it is precisely because he has approved these other projects that he can’t approve this one:The orange-bellied parrot was at such dangerously low levels in terms of population that any additional wind farm in this particular area would have an impact on the survival of the species. That has cumulatively a new impact on the environment which we have for the first time sought to assess.Interestingly, and contrary to every media report that I’ve seen, the report on impacts did not say that the Bald Hills windfarm could kill up to one parrot per year, it said that, in total, all existing and proposed windfarms in Victoria and Tasmania could kill up to one parrot per year.

Today’s subject is bad governance coupled with bad journalism.Peter Baker of the “Washington Post,” has written an article giving wind and wings to (p)resident Bush’s hypocrisy.w. was in Missouri yesterday under the pretense of pulling Sen. James Talent (r) chestnuts out of the electoral fire. Talent’s in trouble and Bush thinks by showing up there and accusing the Democrats of surrender on Iraq, this guy will hold his seat.If the people of Missouri’s voting track record in recent elections is any indication, he may be right.And that would be a shame.Here’s Bush, who put himself before another crowd of flagwaving idiots so that he could get another gratuitous standing ovation: “There’s a group in the opposition party who are willing to retreat before the mission is done,” Baker dutifully reports. “They’re willing to wave the white flag of surrender. And if they succeed, the United States will be worse off, and the world would be worse off.”Yep, things here and abroad are certainly a lot BETTER than before we invaded Iraq.Here’s some more for that article: “Bush’s tone has turned tougher as he appears at more political events [since there’s nothing to do in Washington]. At a Washington fundraiser this month, he said it was important lawmakers ‘not wave the white flag of surrender’ without asserting that any of them were actually doing so. In his appearance in a St. Louis suburb, he said directly that some Democrats want to surrender, adopting the more cutting approach of his senior political adviser, Karl Rove.Bush also took the media to task for writing about he and Snoopy Cheney’s precious spooky programs.But he better be careful because the U.S. Supreme Court he normally gets rubber stamped from just delivered a stunning rebuke to his obviously illegal military tribunals plan for the people he has illegally detained at Guantanamo Base, Gitmo, Cuba Linda.Of course, everyone knows Bush is full of shit with a “trustworthy” poll rating in the dumps.What’s annoying is the report by Baker, and this undercooked filet by Matt Spetalnick of Reuters, amplifying whatever the (p)resident, says sans critique or an opposing point of view.What Baker and Spetalnick did not mention in their stories is the fact General George Casey, the highest ranking military guy in Iraq, made a presentation at the White House detailing a pull-out plan last week. No less than the The New York Times, reported on it, but neither scribe saw fit to point it out or use them to contrast Bush’s fightin’ words.WBAI’s “Wake Up Call” did give voice to California Sen. Barbara Boxer (D), who noted that the plan presented by Casey resembled that offered up by the Democrats and which Bush is now seeking to make hay out by doing his favorite thing, calling himself COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF a lot, and painting the Democrats as pinko-cowards.So the scribe wrote Baker today, thanks to the great device that allows readers and bloggers to communicate with reporters who are shoveling drivel at them. Here’s what it said.“Mr. Baker,I’m ready to blog-spank you. This report is incomplete and fails to take note of the president’s hypocrisy. You and I know both know the military in Iraq has been putting together a plan for withdrawal that would achieve the same thing the Dems plan would.When you dutifully report the president’s every utterance, without contrasting and balancing information, you’re serving as his bullhorn, not as a journalist.

Array-ne Twelve years after IU’s first bowl appearance, the Hoosiers won a bowl game for the first time, a 38-37 thriller against undefeated Brigham Young in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Before Edwards arrived, BYU had had only six winning seasons in the previous 20 and had never played in a bowl game. Still, BYU had fallen short in its three previous bowl appearances. BYU lost to current IU opponent Oklahoma State in 1974 and 1976, and in 1978 lost the inaugural Holiday Bowl to Navy. surprise Cougars, as BYUs bowl jinx still alive”) was warranted, as if this upstart WAC team were invincible:They were deemed an unworthy bowl opponent for BYU by many. The announcement of their selection to the bowl was booed by BYU fans. So did the Cougars, who after losing two straight must think this bowl isn’t such a holiday after all.I’ll let the Deseret News tell the story of the game:BYU gave the Hoosiers several golden opportunities, and luck gave them the rightbounces and the clock. The Hoosiers did just that, keeping the ball 10 minutes more than BYU.As the box score makes clear, BYU did outgain the Hoosiers significantly, particularly in the air, as has been BYU’s tradition.

A lot of the people here speak French, which is good for us because Linh speaks French.We crashed out and slept like rocks.6-9We woke up at a leisurely pace and decided we had to find the train station to move on to Marrakech. The train to Marrakech was going to take about 10 hours and instead of arriving in the middle of the night we opted for the night train, and thanks to Morroccan priced we were actually able to afford a bed this time. It is not pretty, smells like sewage most of the time and all kinds of weird people are approaching you all the time. (Uncle Rob gave us a couple of books in Spain, and also he offered to take some things back for us so we loaded him up with all our winter clothes and some useless items we had packed way back when. So, mom and dad, if you run into Uncle Rob can you get our stuff?) We decide it was wise to get the train station before dark and so we ate at the bus station and collected our bags and walked back to the nice, clean, no beggar train station about 3 hours before our train left. Our train came and we there were 4 bunks, we had the bottom 2, the people on top were quieter than us and Linh and I slept peacefully and bliss fully.6-10 Marrakech! We cheated when we got off the train around 9 am and got a taxi into town and found a hotel Linh had written down from the the internet. We each got a free hour of internet with our room and have access to a hammam(turkish bath) but it is so hot here i dont know if i can deal with scalding water. We saw snake charmers, and before we got too far Linh was practically accosted by some henna ladies and they made her sit and drew henna on her hand and on both her feet and drew a scorpion on my arm. We still felt ripped off when we went back to our room, but after thinking about how much henna we got and how much we have paid at the international festival at home we realized we really probably did get 15 dollars worth. We skirted the open area so we didn’t have to see the henna people again and made it into the back alleys of the market. Anyway, it does look good on her and it covers her body, which is the polite thing for women to do in this country. We ate dinner on a rooftop terrace and watched the people walk by below. Sometimes it gets old having people flirt with your wife all the time, I know she gets tired of it, but it just confirms the fact that i have a cutie for wife and I am a lucky guy. Wish us good luck,Brian6-16 reflecting back to 6-11We are in Seville, Spain right now and we have so much fun over the last few days and met lots of really cool people and gained a few friends.7:00 am, we meet in front of the tour office with a bunch of other people and wait to get on our minibus. Obviously people around our age (or our internal age, which is more like post college) would be ideal and hopefully people who speak English. On the way back out Linh really wanted to ride the donkey, so they put both of us on there and I thought the poor things legs were going to buckle. But, we made it safely across and were back to the bus. After riding for a few more hours we came to the place we were going to eat lunch and there was another bigger kasbah there. After lunch it was back on the bus and on to the Dades gorge. Most people just walked up the road a bit to take some pictures, but the four Americans, Linh, Claire, Garrison and I really wanted to a little hiking. Garrison led the way and found a place to cross where the creek only came up to his thighs and when we were all about half way across, a couple of locals that were watching yelled out to us that there was a bridge upstream and sure enough, about 30 yards away there was a log bridge. We went back to the hotel for dinner (cous cous!). The rooms were decent and after our showers we hung out in the foyer talking to a few people. Not long after the lights flickered a few times, came back on, then went out completely. 7:30, back on the bus. The scooter guy took off and came back with about 5 gallons of gas. We were back on the road and the whole escapade only took about 15 minutes. Running out of internet time, hopefully will update more tommorow,BrianAfter running out of gas we were back on our way to tea with a Berber family in valley somewhere (i can’t remember the names of these places). Well we escaped from there and got back on the bus and headed to another gorge. We didnt’ walk far and decided to head back to the bus. So after everyone returned we got back on the bus and headed for the Sahara. At this point our bus driver pretty much takes a hard left off of the paved road and starts driving over the broken pieces of shale towards the dunes. Then it comes up about halfway on its front legs, all the way up on the back legs, then all the way up on the front legs and then all of a sudden you are way up in the air. We found it really nice and Linh and I kicked around the idea of sleeping up there on the dune instead of in the ratty tent. Well, it got dark and it was time to head back down for dinner. After that dies out one of the guides says we should go with him back up to the top of the dune to look at the stars. Linh and I had the foresite to bring our sleeping bags up with us and one by one the other people decided to go back down to bed, we tried to talk them into staying, but I guess we just have a bit more of an adventurous spirit than most. Well, I was in my sleeping bag and Linh was jsut in her djalaba which has a hood and good sand protection. My entire head was becoming covered so i woke her up and made her change sides of the dune with me. Well, after the sunrise, Linh woke up and we got to run back down the dune again. Camp was up and it was 6 am, time to get back on the camels and ride back to the bus. We got back to where the bus was parked and had bread for breakfast. The rest of the day was mostly riding the bus back to Marrakesh. Linh and her seatmates, Kai and Sally, talked for a lot of the trip and became friends. Really all of us on the trip ended up being friends which is a nice thing when you are stuck with the same people for three days. Come to find out that Kai and Sally and Claire and Garrison were heading that way too, so we all decided to hang together. If you remember our first trip to the Souk(the central market) took place early in the day and the place was not very crowded and we got accosted by the henna women. That left a bad taste, so we hadnºt been back since. Not long after I said that one of the guys bent down and took a huge hit of hash and then tried to sell me some. The things you learn while traveling…After dinner we went back to the motel which had a nice rooftop terrace and hung out up there talking with Kai for a bit. And buy our train tickets for tommorow nightºs all night trip back to Tangier. The six of us took a taxi to the train station, bought our tickets, took a taxi to the bus station, where there were exactly six seats left on the bus we wanted… We went to this cheap place that was recommended by friends of some of the other people from our tour that had already been there. After lunch Linh, Garrison, Kai, Sally and I took a really long walk on the beach. Here it was more a way of life for these people. So, Linh and Sally and Claire took off in their own direction and Garrison and I werenºt really certain if we even wanted to go. At this point in the story I am going to tell about my experience and Linh will tell her part about what she did.Guys hammam: Ok, the hotel guy took us down some back alleys to this little hole in wall doorway. We were each handed a big rubber bucket and we headed toward another room where we saw some other people go. The he tells me to go back to where i was. He drops my legs then proceeds to straddle and starting pressing on and cracking my back. He did about a 10 second massage on my back then he was done. My guy came back and signalled it was time for a scrubbing. Girls hammam: Kai was sick from eating something bad the night before, so Claire, Sally, and I went to the womenºs hammam without her. But I had to really stifle my laughter when she leaned over to massage my neck and I could feel her ample tahs tahs smacking against the back of my head! I can tell why the people look forward to this bathing ritual.

I don’t know who to trust, or what to do.I remember being in line at the bank, and thinking, I need to go get some Google stock.But I didn’t…fear of the unknown held me back.What crap.So, today, on my half-birthday, I vow to live the next 6 months NOT letting fear of the unknown hold me back…it’s cost me too much already.Never again.

SuHaiL 33: blog 9

October 7th, 2008 by admin

Array Thirty-three years ago today, at 11:17 p.m., I greeted the scene—the third (I just blew your mind) of four children. And you’re all thanking your lucky stars.For your pleasure, I decided that for the remainder of the month, I will mark every third year of this occasion (on the date corresponding with the year of my life) with a tidbit of whatever I can recall from that year in my life. Ok, so this is not so much for your pleasure (though it pleases me if it pleases you), as it is for me think about where I’ve been and how I got to where I am. By this time, third grade, I had gone to four different elementary schools, but we’d been at this location since the middle of my second grade year. The start of the school year always brought anxiety.

It’s very chill and there’s a piano solo with 1 minute to go on the song that makes me lean my head back and really pick up my pace. Another great song from In Rainbows, and if you’re feeling especially mellow after the run, I recommend Videotape as well. I already liked Muse for songs like Starlight and Time is Running Out, but after hearing them at ACL I got a brand new taste for heavy rock. When I time it right, this song comes on about 50 feet before I hit the big half-mile hill back to the house, and I really need it to finish strong. The song is trendy right now, but Kanye West took an already fantastic beat from Daft Punk and made it even better.

-ne Principle 33 of Jack Canfield’s Success Principles is transcend your limiting beliefs. So, the belief I want to change is that the beliefs that most limit me are the ones I am not conscious off, making them impossible to change.Step 2The next step is to determine how these beliefs limit you. I guess I came up with mine already: I can transcend my limiting beliefs without knowing what they are.Now, I don’t know whether this statement is true. And I don’t know if it’s going to in fact help me transcend my limiting beliefs.

Lucky enough for you, reader, I have retained enough of this knowledge to cast aside what the Eagles would like you to believe about Sunday’s victory over the Washington Redskins and show you what the numbers really mean.DISCLAIMER: If you felt the Eagles played well on Sunday, DO NOT CONTINUE READING. All were TDs, and all went to players who NEED to score for the Eagles to win some ball games. This statistic is pretty accurate.2 plays of 40 yards.What they want us to think:Those 2 plays were big plays. A great effort blocking down field and great vision from Westy made it happen.Behind the numbers:McNabb was involved in both plays, but I can’t say he MADE either of the plays. If not for a great adjustment and great hands to snatch that pigskin, the Eagles may be sitting at 3-6.I’m aware that McNabb had to hustle to avoid a sack while drawing in the D-line to get that screen pass off to Westbrook, but let’s be honest—that’s a routine screen pass for any semi-athletic NFL quarterback. I don’t feel as if Sunday’s passing statistics tell the true tale of McNabb’s progression/recovery as a passer.He ran nicely and kept plays alive, but his actual throws still seem off. Also, take away the two long plays generated by his receivers (45 from Reggie bailing Super5 out, 57 from Westbrook’s magic) and McNabb throws for 149 yards on 26 passes (5.7 yds/attempt). Down just 1 TD with plenty of time to go, coming off a forced turnover right outside their own red zone, the Eagles call another pass play. I thought that’s why we drafted him.215 yards passing allowed.What they want us to think:Holding a team to just 215 yards passing is key to dictating play and keeping a lead. But when Lito and Sheldon are the ones allowing TDs to a WR who plays primarily on special teams, we have problems.Dawkins and Mikell are still feeling out playing together, but the secondary needed a better effort against weak WRs than we got yesterday.

My favorite meal is entrana(skirt Steak), buffalo wings and a grilled cheese sandwich. I think that touching the food to make them more healthy would practically ruin the originality of the food and downgrade the essence and taste of the food. For example, eating a grilled cheese sandwich with whole wheat bread can be healthier, and not using butter would make the grilled cheese sandwich less unhealthy.
