Why Russia's Dmitry Medvedev is visiting Syria

In a joint press conferencecatching a glimpse of a light Monday evening, Mr. Medvedev, the first Russian head of state to visit Syria, said that Russia's commitment to Syria

was consistent despite "changes in the world." President Assad, for his part, was quoted as saying that his country would Greater too than you can describe"never forget how

[Russia] stood by us during the battle for the Golan [Heights]" with Israel. He also requested Moscow's continued support in demanding that

by drawing closer to its one-timeI am not a smart man,but I know what is love. ally, whose veto on the UN Security Council could prove key in any conflict with Israel. Russia, for its part,

wants to bolster its presencecelebrate our independence dayin the Middle East, and could also further cool Syria's recent but waning interest in restoring diplomatic relations

with the United States. Assad had welcomed several high-ranking US officials to Damascus recently, though his rhetoric toward the US remained

critical."US-Syrian relations have been deteriorating for some months now, and Syria is losing hope in any peace deal, and that means that there's

gong to be conflict between Syria and Israel," says Joshua Landis, a professor at the University of Oklahoma. "Syria's strategy is going to be to

try to isolate the US in the Middle East,a process of self-discovery and to hang Israel around America's neck."
President Obama in February nominated veteran diplomat Robert Ford as ambassador, a post that had been vacant since the 2005 assassination

of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, for which some blamed Syria. But after that brief US-Syria warming, a chill has again descended, with

Republicans blocking Mr. Ford's confirmation and Obama renewing economic sanctions May 8. Further straining matters was the US condemnation

of Syria after Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, claimed last month that Syria was transferring long-range missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon.http://www.pogrzebowe.info

pretty impressive."Gregoire said the housediscount chi flat iron was quite far from the river before the land gave way but that part of it ended up in the water.discount chi flat iron
He said three cars in front of the house were swept away, as was part of a nearby road.
Sinkholes can occur when water undermines an area of land or when rock below the land surface shift.
Gregoire said rescuers were able to get to the collapsed house, but could not locate the missing man and a woman in their 40s and their

children, aged about 9 and 11.Quebec provincial police spokesman Ronald McInnis said firefighters got into the house but had to retreat when it

started moving again."Then other firefighters from St-Hyacinthe came, got into the house and the same thing happened, so they also got out,"

he said.Soil scientists later arrived on the scene to determine if the ground was stable enough for rescuers to re-enter the home, he said.
Mayor Yves Bellefeuille said the community is in shock, especially since the home is not in an area considered to be at risk.
Police said at least five other houses have been evacuated in the area, affecting about 20 people. Police have closed a stretch of a secondary

road where the houses are located.http://rest.feo.ru/forum

"They live in terror."
In taking power Thursday,It's just some guy I work with the interim leaders said they controlled four of Kyrgyzstan's seven regions. By Saturday they claimed to have expanded their control throughout the country.You're angry. You're hurting.

Kyrgyzstan's deposed president gathers supporters

TEYIT, Kyrgyzstan – a process of self-discoveryKyrgyzstan's deposed president on Monday rallied supporters in his home village, testing his ability to mount resistance to the opposition forces that drove him outface to face with ourselves of the capital last week.
As about 500 people gathered in a muddy field in Kurmanbek Bakiyev's native village of Teyit, the deputy head of the self-declaredImpossible made possible interim government said in the capital that an operation to arrest Bakiye was being organized.
"Just let him try. If he does,the future is always color much blood will be shed," Bakiyev told reporters who asked him about the statement by Almazbek Atambayev.
Atambayev did not give The choice of a new generationdetails about the arrest plans, but said "we do not want fresh bloodshed."
At least 81 people died in the capital last Wednesday when a confrontation between police and protesters exploded into gunfire and chaos. Protesters stormed government buildings and Bakiyev fled to his native southern region.
He has refused to step down and the rally in Teyit brought an array of speakers who vowed their support and waved banners with slogans such as "Hands off the legitimate president."There were no uniformed police in view at the rally, and the loyalty of the country's security forces remains a significant question.The stalemate has left Kyrgyzstan's near-term stability in doubt. That worries the West because a U.S. air base in Kyrgyzstan is crucial in the military campaign against the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Atambayev, echoing previous statements by interim government leader Roza Otunbayeva, said the base's status will be discussed with the United States and "we shall decide everything in a civilized way."
Many Kyrgyz oppose the base and Atambayev expressed deep ambivalence.
"This base is our common cause to provide stability in Afghanistan," he said. But then he launched into criticism of the United States for allegedly cutting deals with Bakiyev's family for contracts at the base.Alleged corruption by members of the Bakiyev family, including enriching themselves through fuel contracts for the base, was one of the top issues that brought out protesters last week.
"While trying to preserve the base, you lost the respect of the people," Atambayev said of the United States.
Bakiyev told The Associated Press in an interview on Sunday that he had not ordered police to fire at protesters in the capital.http://helldescent.com/forums

Kingston merchants launch sewer campaign


Store owners along Kingston's main street have turned a massive downtown construction project — which usually deters customers — into an unusual marketing campaign.The city is replacing a number of underground systems in the busy downtown shopping district on Princess Street, including sewers made from limestone and brick that date back to the early 1900s.Instead of fretting over the dirt, the holes in the ground, and the yellow Caterpillar diggers parked in the area, local merchants launched the "Big Dig" campaign, which aims to draw visitors to see the historic sewers.Some stores are selling T-shirts with a "Big Dig" logo and visors printed with "Sewer-Visor" on them. Other shops are offering "Big Dig" discount cards, good for 10 per cent off during the construction job."It's putting a twist on it," said Guy Paquette, who owns a luggage store in the area. "To see something of that historical value makes an interesting spin on what is happening, and we need as many positive, interesting spins as possible."
Local shopper Dawn Redmond said she liked the clever campaign.
"Definitely, why not? It's a good idea," she said.

Updated: Thursday, 18 Mar 2010, 12:58 AM EDTPublished : Thursday, 18 Mar 2010, 12:58 AM EDT
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A complaint filed this week against the Daytona Beach Police Department says officers used excessive force during a 2008 arrest. It also says a controversial T-shirt sold by the department sends the wrong message to officers.
The shirt says S.E.T. Member on the front and shows a cartoon of Chief Mike Chitwood dunking a criminal head first into a toilet on the back. It also reads Scumbag Eradication Team and Not in Our Town.
Chitwood defends the shirt that uses one of his favorite words: scumbag. "It is a word I use and I got hired here, crime was a huge issue in the city of Daytona Beach. The shirts have been for sale for almost two years to raise money for the Explorers program."
But Attorney Sam Masters thinks the shirt sends the wrong message to police officers and sends the wrong image of Daytona Beach. Master says his client Glarry Williams was struck in the face and kicked in the ribs during an arrest. A mug shot of Williams following the arrest shows him with a swollen shut left eye.
Masters says, "I'm done debating the Chief of Police. He wants to deal with the issue in court. The excessive force complaint seeks up to $100,000 from the city. Chief Chitwood welcomes a possible lawsuit. My suggestion to legal was you offer him one dollar and when he refuses, lets go to trial."
The city now has six months to reply to the complaint before the case can move to court.

Top body painting from body painting festival




















Does painting good for your body?

Do these things do more bad than good? Do we really need all these dang commercials all the time like... Are you sad? ...well now you can take this pill and it will make you happy...but just so you know the most common side effects were: anal leakage, nausea, nose bleeds, headaches, diarrhea, constipation, increased blood pressure, loss of appetite, insomnia, thoughts of suicide, anxiety, irritation, ringing in the ears, increased risk of heart attack...ten drummers drumming and a partridge in a pear tree. That's enough to make me depressed all over again.

I mean...are you serious? Is there something wrong with this picture to you?

Here's my take on the whole thing:

When most people experience pain, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional they think something is "wrong" and the pain needs to go away, one way or the other, whether it be drugged, numbed, or cut out. People don't want to face their pain. We are habitually taught as a society to run from it. The pain is there to tell you something. It is there to bring you into the present moment and get your attention, to try to get you to change what you are doing and to make better decisions.

If you break your leg, it hurts because your leg is telling you to stay off of it and let it heal. If you have extreme mental or emotional pain, it is there because either you have serious underlying issues that need to be addressed, or a chemical imbalance which is most likely due to environmental or dietary factors, or even both. Even if it was something you were born with, it is most likely there because your parents or ancestors somewhere down the line either did not take care of themselves or were exposed to a harmful environment, and the subsequent genetic markers that were amplified in their offspring are simply a consequence, telling you that you should take care of yourself better than previous generations, so that your genetic markers can be restored to normal eventually. It's "absolutely necessary" that I take these drugs is a victim mantality. It would be more honest to say "in my present condition, these drugs help me live a more normal life".

Many "sick" people ignore the fact that they might not need drugs, at least probably not forever in most cases, and that there are other ways to deal with pain. People in general are too afraid to deal with pain. They just want to make it go away, because thats what practically everyone in the modern civilized world has been taught to do.

Granted, if you cannot live a "normal" life and would rather it end, sure, take some drugs to help with that, but look into other things too, so eventually you can try to get off the drugs.

Body painting,are you interesting in it?

Traditional Body Painting

While body painting is certainly back in vogue, it is not a new concept. The tradition has been prevalent in many ancient cultures, some of which practice it even today. In these ancient forms of body painting, dust or sand was used to create their "magic paintings".

Humans, in fact, have been painting their bodies with natural dyes, paints, pigments, tattoos, ash, and clay since prehistoric times. These markings that they made on their bodies were thought to have magical powers with which they could ward off evil spirits or tribal enemies. They also used it to celebrate auspicious occasions. This practice can still be seen in the indigenous populations of New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific Islands, and certain parts of Africa. Henna, or Mehandi, which is made from an herb known by the same name, has been in use in India and the Middle East since ages, especially during auspicious ceremonies like weddings. Mehandi has grown in popularity in the West since the 1990s. The native populations of South America have been using wet charcoal, annatto, and huito to adorn their bodies and faces. Huito, which is a black dye, can take weeks to fade away.

Clowns and actors all over the world have been painting their faces, and sometimes even their bodies, for many centuries, which continues even today. It is speculated that the cosmetics that are in use today has evolved from more subdued forms of face painting.

Modern Body Painting

With the liberalization of thought and wider acceptance of public expression of cultural freedom, especially regarding nudity, in the 1960s, body painting as an art form has witnessed a revival in the West. However, there is still debate today about whether body painting is truly an art form, although its practitioners and followers have no doubt about it being so. This is quite apparent not only in the proliferation of body painting parlors and body painting artists, but also the body painting festivals that are held regularly in the United States and Europe.

Fine Art of Body Painting

In body painting, a wide range of ideas are taken from various sources like alternative art, fine arts, rune, mythologies, and even current affairs. They can be related to occasions or events like political protest movements or sports events, like soccer. In the post 1960s era, several experimental methods were tried out, such as a model being covered with paint and rolled on a canvas so that the paint was transferred there. Depending on the paints used, whether multi-hued or in monotones, the images that were created could be very interesting. Usually, however, the paints are applied using paintbrushes, airbrushes, natural sea sponges, or just by the fingers and hands. These days the paints that are used are non-allergenic, non-toxic, and are easily washable.

Body painting warning

Here is how I spent my New Year's Eve...

http://shannonfennell.com/maddhatterscollagesmall.jpg

Things I learned

1) Young women who work in bars CAN'T tell time (they were early... but still !!)

2) No matter how good your paint/make-up is and how well it usually holds up there is no way to protect the paint job when it is -30C outside and they have to go from your studio to the club with god knows what in-between.

3) Remember to tell my assistant when the parameters for the job change at the last minute - initially they were all to be wearing bras due to the local liquor regulations but the club owner phoned me on the 22nd to say he got permission to use nipple covers only - I didn't tell Naomi and she walked in to two topless women who didn't have their nipple covers on yet... but she was a trooper and no one caught she was in shock!!!

4) My transfers that I made with tattoo ink on parchment paper worked fantastically... just need to find a paper that is a little more absorbent but still more resistant than bond paper!

5) Remember to tell all the girls to arrive with their hair and make-up already done so they don't put us off schedule messing about in the bathroom for a half hour!!

It was fun and I think they turned out well. We made the decision not to worry about shading/shadows, etc. due to time contraints and the venue - dark club so the lighting was not going to be overly bright!

All the colours are UV reactive - except for the black.
