Wow Sonya, the Orchids that grow in Costa Rica are simply beftuiaul. Do Costa Ricans commonly have orchids in pots in their homes? Or do they more typically plant them in their backyards?

Comment on It’s a Crime in Iran to be a Woman by hainezo

These ignorant, plrooy-educated mullahs are the fundamentalists of Islam and, like fundamentalists in all religions, their knowledge & understanding of the faith they claim to represent is very limited. Thus their bigotry is passed on to the next & the next generation of poor boys plucked from the fields and given the priestly cloak of respectability. Because they feel their own ignorance, these mullahs re-inforce themselves by brute power instead of intelligent leadership.As the gap in education & sophistication between the people of Iran & their mullahs continues to widen, the mulllahs will resort more & more to brute force rather than finding the humility to admit their inadequacies.

Brixey,Several questions,As has been dcusissed in other posts here as well as yourself, this is a beyond DBA event.So from my viewpoint there are two critical questions to be asked of the containment structure. Did it keep the public as safe as possible considering this was a beyond DBA event and secondly, will it continue to hold while mitigation work continues? In both cases my conclusion is that Fukushima 1 is not a failure. It can be vastly improved but it is not a failure.So my question is if you are stating that this is a failure of the containment since the reactor is now effectively destroyed? And as such that means this is a containment failure because the reactor cannot be restarted. That is how I am interpreting your comments. If I misunderstood please let me know.My second question concerns your comment about venting the drywell. I have not kept up on this question but were the operators in a position to vent post-tsunami? Post earthquake they were however post-earthquake the plants were not in a beyond DBA. But what about post-tsunami 45-50 minutes later? Would you fail a crew if they were faced with the same plant setup and post-tsunami crisis the operators had at Fukushima or can you point me to some root cause analysis that the crew did not follow proper protocol for their situation. It is my understanding that Fukushima cannot be compared to our facilities in the US as they did not update their plants to the same specifications as the NRC required years ago. If I am incorrect please let me know on this as well.My commentary goes to the idea of how the industry defines failure in a beyond DBA event. Containment failure in my viewpoint would be a complete breach of all barriers allowing fuel to migrate unimpeded into the open environment and/or a massive release of radiological material that makes the surrounding area uninhabitable. Neither of which has happened at Fukushima (the area can be cleaned up and people allowed to orderly go back home, it is a political decision not to right now).We know that components will be lost in a beyond DBA event and more than likely the plant will be unrecoverable. That is no different than a natural gas plant explosion or a coal explosion where the plants are effectively destroyed and need to be rebuilt.What I am concerned about is the problematic concept that a nuclear power plant must survive fully intact even in the event of a beyond DBA event which goes to the issue that nuclear power must be perfect to be used. I am not saying that the nuclear bar should be lowered to the level of natural gas or coal; in fact I am an advocate their bar should be raised closer to the nuclear design level. What I am saying is that if we in the industry define this as a failure then the public will then themselves define a future beyond DBA as a failure because the plant will not be recoverable and reusable.

Philosophy of Life A boat is docked in a tiny Mexican fisihng village.A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took to catch them. Not very long. they answered in unison. Why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more? The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families. But what do you do with the rest of your time? We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. We have a full life. “We have a full life. The tourist interrupted, I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!You should start by fisihng longer every day.You can then sell the extra fish you catch.With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. And after that? With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles , or even New York City !From there you can direct your huge new enterprise. How long would that take? Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years. replied the tourist. And after that? Afterwards? Well my friend, that’s when it gets really interesting, answered the tourist, laughing. When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions! Millions? Really? And after that? asked the fishermen. After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children,catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends. With all due respect sir, but that’s exactly what we are doing now. So what’s the point wasting twenty-five years? asked the Mexicans. And the moral of this story is:Know where you’re going in life, you may already be there! Many times in life, money is not everything.“Live your life before life becomes lifeless”

I really like True Grit. Hailee Steinfeld was amizang! I don’t understand why she is nominated for a supporting role and not a lead role, do you know how that works?To me she played such a big part, really the main character and the only female role. So why just a supporting actress nomination has me confused.Anyways it was amizang!

We are trapped in the uvarnosy learning mode which relies almost entirely on our faculties of memory alone, without independent thinking, without habitual classification of what we learned periodically. In fact, strategic thinking is such a rare commodity in this day and age that it demands a premium in the “market place”.Too often, we are so misconceived that we believed frequent exchanges of ideas with other fellow learners of English are so beneficial that they would make this trip or pilgrimage somehow faster and easier. While we may intuitively agree that the only way to learn English well is to closely mimic the process how native speakers learn and perfect their own language skills, few of us actually pursued that route to full fruition. At least in Mainland China, there is also a trend to place a disporportionate amount of emphasis on classic English literature and with the hope that this would somehow cultivate a refined English taste. What a waste of time. Not surprisingly, many have benefited from such grossly misplaced emphasis at the expanse of the whole nation: too much educational resources have been wasted or underutilized.The most important thing in the complete MASTERY of a language, at least in this author, is to put one’s heart and mind TOGETHER to wherever they need to be, whether in learning grammar, vocabulary, different modes of thinking or linguistic aesthetics. Additionally, a little knowledge on history, of the language in concern, is an absolute must.Just my two cents on language acquisition and retention.
