October 16th 2006 - Disposable water bottle issue at Vancouver City Hall

The GVRD is looking at ways to promote drinking tap water and investigating how much of it people consume. A report is expected later this week and a plan for city employees to drink tap water over bottled water has the backing of some local entrepreneurs.

Some Aqua Angels have been visiting City Hall. Don Barthel and Mark Rainer from UsedVancouver.com have been handing out reusable water bottles to city staff.

We have this pet project with our company in that we want to reduce the amount of disposable water bottles going into the landfill. We're all about reuse and recycling on our website...

Kunga - " Amazing Karmapa " Tibetan Song from Kham, E. Tibet Tibet Song: Karmapa / Amazing Karmapa རྒྱལ་བ་ཀརྨ་པ་ The Karmapa (the one who holds the activities of the Buddha) was the first incarnate lama (tulku) in Tibet Tibetan Buddhism is structured on the notion of 'transmission', the passing on of teachings and methods from the teacher to the student - who in his turn hands on the teachings to his own students. This has given rise to a number of 'lineages'; lines of descent of dharma wisdom from one great master to the next. These masters are often 'reincarnate lamas', with alternate 'lineage-holders' holding the transmission during the period from the death of the reincarnate to the coming of age of his next incarnation. The 16th Karmapa, (August 14, 1924--November 5, 1981) Rangjung Rigpe Dorje was considered by many to be a living Buddha. Like his predecessors, he was primarily a spiritual figure and therefore not involved in politics. He, instead, made efforts to keep the spiritual traditions of Tibet intact and in this way helped to preserve the identity of Tibet as a unique and individual culture. The Karmapa in this video is Orgen Trinley Dorje recognized by 14th Dalai Lama as to be the 17th Karmapa, but by tradition and history, the Dalai Lama has never had the power to recognize the Karmapa. The mistaken assumption that HH The Dalai Lama must approve the recognition of the Karmapa is incorrect assertion mostly likely derives from confusing the Dalai Lama's political authority with his spiritual authority ...

So you are coming to the 8/28 Glenn Beck March on Washington? Tea Party Blogger warns members traveling to Washington DC of where not to go. # Posted by Andrew Ian Dodge on August 22, 2010 at 9:43am. Sorry for the quality. Taken from there website. Safety and Mores paintmainered.ning.com DC's population includes refugees from every country, as the families of embassy staffs of third world countries tend to stay in DC whenever a revolution in their homeland means that anyone in their family would be in danger if they went back. Most taxi drivers and many waiters/waitresses (especially in local coffee shops like the Bread and Chocolate chain) are immigrants, frequently from east Africa or Arab countries. As a rule, African immigrants do not like for you to assume they are African Americans and especially do not like for you to guess they are from a neighboring country (eg Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia) with whom they may have political or military tensions. It's rare to meet anyone who gets really offended, but you can still be aware of the issue. Many parts of DC are safe beyond the areas I will list here, but why chance it if you don't know where you are? If you are on the subway stay on the Red line between Union Station and Shady Grove, Maryland. If you are on the Blue or Orange line do not go past Eastern Market (Capitol Hill) toward the Potomac Avenue stop and beyond; stay in NW DC and points in Virginia. Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line. These rules are even more important at night. There is of course nothing wrong ...

LITTLE AFRICA IN TEL AVIV IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN TO ISRAELI AUTHORITIES August 16th 2010 TEL AVIV, Israel. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared what he calls "the recent flood of illegal workers infiltrating from Africa" into Israel a "concrete threat to the Jewish and democratic character of the country." The Jewish State has obviously gotten caught off guard by this new phenomenon and has yet to formulate Israel's immigration policy on this issue. Netanyahu said that most Western nations have already taken action to prevent similar dangers. Amongst the measures that local authorities are thinking of putting in place, a fence. Six months ago, Netanyahu visited the area near the border between Israel and Egypt in order to examine the possibility of an Israeli fence along the border to prevent infiltrations.
