<b>October 7th 2014 T05:14:24.366-07:00 - Is this still relevant on January 2nd 2016?</b><br />
<br />
<h2>
Is the Spanish Street Protest the Start of the Broad Masses of the World Confronting Global Capitalism?</h2>
<h4>
Spanish students have taken over a square in Madrid - hopefully this will be the start of the Western World telling the banking institutions and the IMF that the broad masses are not going to pay for their bungling greed, and that the broad masses are going to tell the bnanking systems and their representatives that the slate should be wiped clean and that the banking systems will all start again from scratch.</h4>
<br />
What they are saying on their placards is that they are not going to pay, but Spain on its own could not achieve that without global capitalism.<br />
<br />
The banks say we're broke, you bailed us out. We've taken your money and you will now have to be poor for another decade, but we'll still pay ourselves bonuses out of your money.<br />
<br />
The demonstators in Madrid hopefully will be followed by the rest of the Western broad mass of people and none of us will suffer for the banks' greed and bungling.<br />
<br />
Spain, Greece and France are all shouting, but not together - it needs at least the Western European countries to be really demonstrating together and to tell the large corporations and their bganking stystems that we're not going to pay for their greed and mistakes, and hopefully the American people as well.<br />
<br />
This happened in Central America, when Cuba led the Central American countries and told the IMF clearly that they were not paying, in the early 80's. And it was very funny because the IMF said"you've got to pay - have some more money from us so that you can do so." Then everything fell silent.<br />
<br />
What are we to read into it? That the IMF didn't want other poor countries following suit?<br />
<br />
They offered to lend the Cubans more money in order for the Cubans to keep up with their payments. We don't know whether Cuba accepted the money or not, because everything went silent. If Cuba had indeed borrowed more money, they would not have been able to repay it. The whole situation is ridiculous, because if they can't pay money that they owe, why lend them more? Only to prop up Capitalism which had collapsed.<br />
<br />
We have never heard anything about it since then and don't know whether the Cuban debt was written off or not. A UK representative was at the IMF talks, but the Public weren't told of the outcome.<br />
<br />
The reason we are currently in debt is because the financial institutions are lending the broad masses more when they can't repay it. It is a mere pretence of paying.<br />
<br />
The IMF is like a bank, and the countries are like the bank customers. The countries are run and owned by large corporations and we don't have a say about how our financial affairs are run. But, for the first time, we see Western people - the Spanish unemployed - saying "we're not paying!"<br />
<br />
For Spain to win, all the other countries would have to follow suit. I wonder what would happen - would it be like Cuba in the 1980's? Because of the silence, we don't know what happened. Would it be "Don't give us more money, we'll give <i>you</i> more money so that you can continue to pay us", or would the debt be written<br />
off?<br />
<br />

First I took a photograph of some beautiful red hollyhocks in my garden, and then I played around with the photo on Photoshop, adding swirls and whirls, until I created this design.<br />
<br />
It would make a lovely present for a lovely lady, don't you think? ......Worth thinking about, anyway.<br />
<br />
Actually, you can go on Zazzle and design your own items, from T-Shirts to posters, and everything you can think of in between, using your own pictures and designs - it's quite fun, once you've got the hang of it.<br />
Do follow the link above, and have a look.<br />

Gothic Skulls and Hearts - Very Trendy!</h2>
<div class="txtd" id="txtd_29366283">
I
used to have a little white skeleton dangling from a key-ring when I
was a teenager, in the 1950s. I loved that skeleton, and even had a name
for him - Skelly. I took him everywhere.<br />
<br />
Of course, although I didn't know it at the time, that was the precursor of Gothic style as we know it today.<br />
People thought I was ghoulish or just plain weird, a little girl
carrying round horrid things like that. Not that I cared - I always
liked to be different, and still do. I would be a bit sad if people
thought of me as ordinary, or normal - not that I make a point nowadays
of standing out in a crowd, but I don't necessarily conform to what
other people think I should be, and prefer to choose what I think I
should be. <br />
<h2 id="39552096_title">
I'd like to show you a great selection of Gothic style here - including Jewelry, Cards, and Artwork</h2>
Skulls
are trendy this season. When they are connected with romantic hearts
you have weird somewhat tongue-in-cheek symbolism, of the loving you to
death or loving for eternity genre</div>

Custard is a delicious accompaniment to any pudding -<br />
but does your custard turn out lumpy?<br />
<br />
What goes wrong? How do you stop the lumps forming in the first place,
or, if necessary, get rid of the lumps in your custard once you've made
it?<br />
<br />
<b>The secret of lump-free custard is revealed below</b>, and you can benefit from my experience gleaned from making custard regularly whilst I was helping to run a restaurant. </div>

Instructions</h3>
<ol>
<li> Basically, you put about 3/4 pint of
milk (or part milk, part water although they don't tell you that) to
heat up in a saucepan.</li>
<li>Put the required amount of custard powder
with l or 2 dessert spoons of sugar, according to how sweet you like it,
into a large jug.</li>
<li>Add about a tablespoon full of milk and
mix to a smooth paste. Then gradually add a little of the warmed milk,
and again mix to a smooth paste. Gradually add all the milk to the jug,
and mix thoroughly,</li>
<li>Then pour the whole mixture into the
saucepan, and stir furiously whilstheating it slowly on a low heat, to
ensure that lumps don't form, being careful to scrape the bottom and
sides. Let it bubble and boil for a minute, and you should have smooth
and beautiful custard without a lump in sight.</li>
<li>If you have not followed my instructions
to the letter, you might have a few lumps, and, as lumpy custard is an
abomination, pass the mixture through a strainer into a jug. The
strainer will hold back all the lumps.</li>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It would not be unreasonable to say that, by Western standards, women's rights in most of Afghanistan are precarious or non-existent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"> Women must obey their husbands, and all the males in their household, including younger brothers. Even boys treat their mothers in ways which we would consider disrespectful. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: small;">Domestic violence (one-way naturally) is normal. It is not illegal for the men of the household to beat a woman by way of chastisement if she does not do as they wish, and sometimes even the woman's mother-in-law will join in to beat and punish her . There is no such concept as marital rape, and women do not have any say in the mode or frequency of sex. Basically she is treated as a slave, to do the housework, and to do what her husband and his family tell her to do. Before marriage, she must obey the males in her household.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">In some communities, an Afghan woman must not be seen outside the home without being covered with a burkha from head to toe including her mouth, and nose. In some cases even her eyes are covered by gauze so that they can't be seen. Imagine having to walk around in temperatures soaring above 100 degrees muffled up like that so
that you don’t attract men's attention and arouse their evil desires. It makes you wonder what sort of animals the men must be if the mere sight of a woman's nose is sufficient to ignite uncontrollable passions. It brings to mind something Golda Meir said many years ago, that if men can't control themselves when they see a woman, it should be the men who are put under curfew, not the women. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Afghan women must not talk to strange men or any male who is
not part of their family, and, of course, must never have physical contact with any man to whom she is not married.<br />
<br />
Even if she treads carefully and conducts herself according to the morality of the society in which she lives, the Afghan woman is still likely to be subjected to beatings, but would normally avoid serious injury, such as public stoning, and public
whipping,</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> judicially decreed by the local mullah, not to mention </span> assault by family members such as having boiling water or acid thrown over her. </span></div>

Oh, and I almost forgot – if an Afghan woman brings shame on her family, by refusing to
marry the man chosen for her or to whom she has been sold or exchanged for land or other favors, or if she has a relationship
with a man, or behaves in any way which could be viewed as unseemly, her own family
might feel morally bound to murder her. Quaintly enough, this would be considered to be
an honour killing and would be socially acceptable.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Many people get discouraged if they don't succeed immediately when they try something. Sometimes the fear of failure is so strong that it even puts them off trying in the first place. But success isn't a black or white conclusion, it is more of an ongoing process, where you learn by your mistakes, try things out, see what works and what doesn't, and begin to understand things better, step-by-step.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">There are many sayings and proverbs in the English language which reflect this: </span></b></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">"If you don't ask, you don't get" </span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: large;">and even "God helps those who help themselves" </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"> ( I can't help adding here "and God help those that do!")</span><br />

-<b>-<span style="font-size: 1.25em;"><br />Why "Trick or Treat"?</span></b><br />
<br />
In the Middle Ages, on special occasions such as Christmas and All Hallows' Day (1st November) it was customary for the poor to dress up, sometimes in fancy dress, to go begging by knocking from door to door, asking for food and money (alms) in return for prayers for the dead. Sometimes they would perform by singing a song, such as Wassailing at Christmas.<br />
<br />
Nowadays children dress up and go to houses asking "Trick or Treat?" - in effect mild blackmail, asking for a gift or threatening some mischief. Traditionally if the homeowner does not give them a Halloween treat such as sweets, cake or coins, they will play a prank or trick, which might take the form of throwing an egg or mud at the window of the householder (who, presumably, has kept all the lights switched off and is lurking about with head below the window parapet, pretending they are not in, or, worse, coming to the door and telling the children to go away).<br />
<br />
It's quite paradoxical that a custom which started in Europe and only went to America in the 20th Century has been far more prevalent and popular in the USA than in the UK - that is, until recently, when commercial markets saw their opportunity and grabbed it very successfully. All my own pictures in this web page were from photographs I took in our local 99p shop, and I was amazed by the variety and quality of goodies you could buy for under £1.00 (approximately $1.50).

At that time of year, the Vikings would light big bonfires to scare away evil spirits - a ritual to hasten the arrival of Spring and ensure fertility for their crops and livestock. According to ancient legends, Walpurgis was the last chance for witches and evil spirits to stir up trouble before Spring arrived.<br /><br />-<i>You can find this Image on<br />-<a href="http://plawiuk.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html" rel="nofollow">-<span style="color: #cc6600;"><b>Eugene Plawiuk's Blog</b></span></a></i></b></span></div>

This is all about phonograms in general, with a bit about their history, a bit about Edison, and a bit about my own phonogram, and lots of pictures and a poll<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I was given the <b>Photoshop Elements 10</b> programme for Christmas, and wouldn't allow myself even to open it until I had organized my thousands of photographs into folders which I could instantly find and identify. As I keep taking more photographs, and adding to the chaos, this took an alarmingly long time, particularly in the light of losing everything on my crashed computer and having to restore it from my Norton Symantec Backup Storage System. I was still able to use the photo editing programme which came with my computer, but it doesn't have the niceties of Photoshop. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Meanwhile I have been reading the book, and practising the arts, including using my <b>Waco Bamboo Pen Tablet</b>, which I have had for a few years now.</span><br />

Here's a picture I drew on my Bamboo Tablet. Do you recognize the lady concerned? <i>(I </i>don't!)<br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Waco Bamboo Tablet which I have is a relatively simple one compared to the one pictured above, but the principle is the same - you can draw with it, point on the various elements in your photo editing programme instead of using your mouse, and you can also write with it - I sign email letters with my signature sometimes, which is just amazing technology. The Tablet shown here is the latest generation, and this is Amazon's product information:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: small;">"Designed for both left and right-handed use and for both Mac and PC,
there are simply no restrictions. You can take and make notes directly
on your documents, draw, paint and share spontaneous ideas digitally."</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want to buy this via my blog, I will get a small commission from Amazon - by hovering on the link, you will be transported through to the Amazon.co.uk website where you can view this in more detail.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And below is the Photoshop Elements 10 Programme I am using</b> - It's very up-to-date, and at the cheap end of the market - ideal for enthusiastic amateurs like me, and with sufficient versatility to keep me happy playing for hours, and satisfied with the results:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, below is the book I am studying, to learn about Photoshop Elements 10. It has very clear instructions and lots of pictures to simplify the learning process -</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Photoshop Elements 10 by Mike Wooldridge and Brianna Stuart: </b></span><br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=diasbloglocon-21&o=2&p=8&l=as1&asins=1118151739&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b><br /></b><span style="font-size: large;">I'm learning a lot from this book, and find all this so enthralling that it's hard to tear myself away from the computer. I've barely noticed the disgusting weather, which is just as well, as there has been heavy rain for days, and floods in Wales (somewhat incomprehensibly,we still have a hose-pipe ban here).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and you might like this <b>Kindle</b> - I love mine: </span><br />
