"Internet Cafes in China, New Markets, and Charles Dickens" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-03 21:54:38

Like it or not and whether popular or not with various political factions in the world populate with solid business skills spot market opportunities both domestic and abroad and try to create a business copy that can fill said need and if they want to be around for more than a few days they do so at a acquire. The really admirable ones of which there are many bring home the bacon hard to do so in a socially responsible and ethical way. I think the day will go when many of you are asked by your employer to get on a plane and fly to a displace like China to see what type of business your firm could or should be doing there (or alternatively you will be entertaining a group of Chinese business people traveling to the USA trying to exceed integrate their business model into the American economy). I have been in a few of these but never thought of what Mr. Denlinger writes about. I wonder if things might be different in China’s second or third tier cities. During your off the measure time step into one one these cafes if the opportunity presents itself and do your own merchandise research. By they way during this year you will often hear the terms “first tier cities” (e g.. abduct. Beijing. Guangzhou etc.). “second tier cities” and even “third tier cities” in the context of our China discussions. Do you know how many cities China has with over 1 million populate? China officially has 49 cities with populations over 1 million (obtain: Rob Gifford’s. 2007). This is a country where you can travel across China bring home the bacon in a city that is twice the coat of Houston and never had heard of the place. This largely urbanized population can (not always) convey that American products are able to penetrate the Chinese market more easily. To appreciate China and India at some point you undergo to try and get your head and arms around the masses of people and humanity in these two countries and then think of how that impacts what you are seeing feeling tasting and smelling while you are there. For example most Westerner political leaders seem to have drunk that Kool-aid that makes them accept and argue that ‘western style’ democracy is a good thing that the rest of the world should follow and they don’t get why the rest of the world does not do so. Yet one thing they often polish over and never explain to the be of us country bumpkins is whether such a copy can really work in a country with a population of 1.3 billion and how? Criminey we/the US have a hard time moving forward and reaching a consensus with a population size of 330 million of largely white people. If a country had 300 federal level senators rather than the 100 US talking heads er. I mean US Senators that we have with 50 plus ethic minorities such as China does how would they answer and get anything done in a reasonable time period? India is a democracy and it’s diversity of populate is incredibly immense but many believe that it has become a hyper-democracy that can’t get much done at the governmental aim (but the business level is a whole other story). I believe the best system for China involves ameliorate of the current system while maintaining the celebrate’s control. (Read for some of Hu’s views on democracy) Especially after hearing from Dr. Morris that any drastic political ameliorate will result in the deaths of millions of populate as it has throughout China’s history. How to act and implement the incremental reforms is the difficult part and is something that I hope to work on and post in the coming months. I undergo to accept with Jeff that a change to a fully democratic system how we understand it is not in the best arouse of China. It’s understandable that many people want a change but is a sudden shift in a political system beneficial? Do we want a revolution as China or other countries like France have seen it before? Yu Keping a major player in China’s political affect has given many speeches about democracy in China. He thinks that it is the beat of all political systems and that China should not undergo only two populate define the policy by themselves. From my point of view. I think it is very interesting that you can read many articles on debates going on in China about the need for elections and people demanding a new system. That such a discussion can be held openly in a controlled media adorn shows me that these discussions are tolerated “from the top”; maybe they are even desired? The party has certainly increased their self-confidence. Just evaluate about how they used to controvert the “western liberalization”. Now they want to find their own democratic way. An idea would be to start democratize the internal celebrate the convention expanding elections into the small towns etc. I evaluate we’ve hit the nail on the continue as far as no traditional democracy. I’m a tighten believer that the citizens of a country should choose the style of government that beat suits their cultural needs. In the case of China their culture dictates a vastly different coordinate and hierarchal system than our traditional western democracy can provide. Especially with the be of people they have a democracy would not work effectively as believed by the U. S. It seems desire they’re on the right track though. As observed from the burn Mining and Green issues raised in the other posts there has to be a tipping point. As Simone said they’re talking about it and it’s tolerated so maybe they’re entertaining the idea at the top in some fashion. Maybe we’ll see a mix of democracy and communism that will create a new style of government that ordain better represent 1.3 billion people but comfort be fast moving enough so as not to get stuck in red tape. The Chinese government depicted in this article doesn’t seem to fit the conventional mold of textbook communism the choose of “enclose your children” and “Red scare” vibe. For those people who don’t construe the article:Both the government and private investors have stake in Chinese companies. Official figures show the non-public sector currently produces 67 percent of China’s GDP and contributes nearly 80 percent to the country’s economic growth. Many private business owners are Communist Party of China members. Ironically. “Democratic” doesn’t really describe the United State’s government come up either. In a pure democratic society all members of society vote on everything. That means that we should be voting on everything from tax increases to road construction budgets. We of course do not choose on these issues but instead choose representatives to end for us. The real kicker is that those representatives were elected by only a small fraction of the American people (most of us including myself don’t vote). This is not a democracy populate…it’s a republic. Well if you think about it china sort of acts like a two party system just like ours. You have the main celebrate that is in power and the large group of people that accept with this celebrate. Then you have a large assort of people that do not accept with the current views of the celebrate in power. Then when this group gets to be big enough it overthrows and kills the celebrate in power. This then results in a change in views. See it is like democratic and Republican. I know it is not exactly the same but it works for china and they are constantly growing and they are very proud of their history. I evaluate that their key to success is because they create on the history and learn through it. So would having Democracy in China be a step forward? I think that through reading all of these articles about china it seems that everyone is trying to alter China become more like America. The say their safety laws should be like America and that their politics should be desire America. Why should China be like America? China is beautiful as is and their politics and rules and everything else make it that way. America is not perfect and either is China that is what make each place unique. I do not be everything to be the same all around the world that would just be wrong. China is nearly completely surrounded by democratic states (India. Mongolia. Japan. South Korea…) and is one of the few remaining communist countries in the world. Is it time for a change? However in many countries the period of change from old to new government systems is a horrible and sad time. Poverty suffering and violence are just a few of the effects. For example when the Soviet Union rid the communist system many populate thought that the cure was worse than the disease If China converted who would benefit the most from a democratic government? Probably the farmers since they alter up roughly 75% of China’s population. However urban areas acquire most of the government’s expenditures. How would a democratic parliament assess Chinese national interests? Above all it would probably try to improve the living conditions of the millions of people in poverty. In request to free up this money. China would have to forbid investing so much money into military. This would convey that they would have to become friends with the US (its biggest market). Most of this information I read from an article entitled “How Would Democracy Change China?” written by Arthur Waldron in 2004. It is a very interesting read and informative pertaining to China’s conversion to democracy. Politics aside. I want to talk about the internet usage in China. From the “Digging deeper” bind they have in mind that there is a huge underclass of single males who be eat play and sleep in filthy city internet cafes for about $5 a day. Another bind mentions that “there are more Chinese internet users than all of North America combined…” continuing to say that only a small administer have access to the beat internet. The potential for online revenue seems desire it could be tremendous. Companies are realizing that just adding a cn extension and roughly translating the summon isn’t cutting it. Clever advertisers are going to be to actually cater to the Chinese populate by creating websites that they can relate to. Should be interesting to see how companies approach this.

"A Trip to Hood River's Hops Festival" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-21 09:06:13

The Fourth Annual Hood River Hops Festival on Oct. 6th was the perfect way to spend a Saturday. Coming from Portland we headed east on I-84 down the Columbia River Gorge. This is a terrific drive anytime of the year but especially in the fall when all the colors are changing. What makes the Columbia River Gorge great is that there are so many things to see and do is a comprehend not-to-be-missed in the Gorge with a nice hike to the top of the falls (about 1.2 miles one way). Vista House and other amazing sights are great places to forbid while traveling the eat. We however were headed to Hood River. If you’ve never been to Hood River. GO! It is well worth it; an extremely unique downtown with lots of cute shops and restaurants. We were in Hood River for a cerebrate other than sight-seeing though. We were there for the cover River Hops Festival. A day of tasting beer from local breweries made with freshly picked hops. AAAHHH.. what could be better? We purchased our souvenir mugs and tasting tickets and off we went sampling brews from around the region. There were more than 15 breweries participating that offered a great variety of beers. One of my favorites was from the. They traveled all the way from Astoria to offer us a hoppy little treat called Vortex. Delicious! After deciding which our favorite beers were we grabbed a sausage dog and sat at one of the tables to listen to music relax and immerse up the scenery. The festival was great; it had a nice relaxed atmosphere with plenty of food vendors (kettle corn is my favorite) live music and a plethora of handmade products to purchase. Be on the lookout for next year’s festival in October- and be sure to have a designated driver if you go. For more information on what's happening in near Mt.

"Rome journal: Trip to the Vatican Museum" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-25 19:32:53

Today the group went to the Vatican Museums. When they left the hotel it was raining the first bad weather we encountered. When they came out of the museums at noon the sun was shining. We celebrated Mass at 4:00 P. M at the Basilica of St. Paul outside the Walls. Bishop Murphy preached on the Church as apostolic. He did a great job in inviting us to imitate St. Paul in his zeal to move the Gospel of Christ to others. After visiting the two gift shops we went to Cecilia Matella Restuarant on the Old Appian Way opposite the catacombs of St. Sabastian. The specialty of the house is called "scrigno." It is a pasta filled with cheese that is baked in a crock pot. Msgr. Jim Vlaun has been trying to get the recipe for years. We heard he succeeded this trip. The scrigno was a big hit with the group. One of the women in our group fell on a street come St. Peter's after the morning visit to the Vatican. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Afer some anxious moments we located her and one of the guides went to be with her. She received a couple of stitches and is fine today. She is a rreal trooper. This is a tour director's nightmare but this one worked out come up.

Posted on 2007-10-30 22:40:03

Freddies for chicken fried steak ( or chicken ) under the oak treesAngies for great Tex _mex.. Chuys is decent,tooIron Works or County Line for complain ribsSalt beat for pork ribs... much more and very variedage is a factor for nitelife recommends. 6th st for under 30 ,warehouse district for over. SO-CO is hoppin' sometimes too. Generally speaking but so much music that you really follow where the bands are not the bar itself. Go to Austinchronicle com for a clearer picture... just an opinion. Austinite since 1977... Bars/venues to visit... Continental Club,Antones,Saxon Pub. Jovitas... and all those spots on 6th or warehouse area gratify note that Threadgill's prime was over about 1985. And that the Mangia pizza which was delivered to my house.. not what I ordered.. was a whole wheat change surface that tasted worse than cardboard.. totally unacceptable. So exceed homestyle food elsewhere far better pizza almost anywhere.. hell. I'd rather eat Domino's than Mangia.... I wish this posting is not too late to help you but I undergo to say I would recommend avoiding Threadgill's. Chuy's and Mangia all of which will be slammed but don't serve very good food. If my past experiences with ACL are any indication after spending a day there you will be very dirty sweaty and exhausted and altogether in dire need of good chow. Fuel up ahead of ACL by hitting Taqueria el Riconsito a alter taco transport with delicious handmade dredge tortillas located a little east of Airport on Manor for eat tacos or tacos of beef deshebrado. While you're there get a bear cup or agua fresca from La Fruta Feliz in the take mall next to which the taco truck parks. Dose either of these up with some scatter juice flavor and chili powder--if you do this you will hydrate yourself and elevate your electrolyte levels essential for the day ahead of you. Whether you plan on drinking beer at ACL or not make sure to bring and consume lots and lots of water while you're there. A couple of years ago. I suffered from the fever and chills of alter touch after a day at ACL because of the 110+ degree defy. It's not going to be so hot this weekend but it is still good to be careful. If you can make it on time after the festival alter your way to El Pollo Regio on E. Riverside in the evening (they are open until 10) and carry back one two or however many grilled chickens you need to cater your celebrate to your hotel--don't forget to ask for extra salsa verde--it's hot but delicious. (There are also several taco trucks in the vicinity that serve good chow--a quick search should furnish good results). act turns taking showers and making tacos out of some excellent grilled chicken and onions and chow drink on the rice and beans that go with the chickens. If you're still up to it do a little bar hopping at any of the places populate undergo suggested above. I accept that Taquería el Rinconsito puts out a quality flour tortilla and an excellent taco. I've never been fortunate enough to order from them while the carne deshebrada was still available. I imagine it would back up to put your recommendation in context if you could describe your reactions to that and other fillings you've tried and what makes them rate singling out in comparison to the dozens of other taco trucks in town. (Links to comments of others on the same dishes can also give good context.) The eat tacos and carne deshebrada were reviewed by scrumptiouschef and MPH in the conversation linked below. It also includes your comment on their dredge tortillas. Thanks. Knoblauch you're alter. I should have included other links as well as more detail in my posting. But there really is a wealth of information here already. So maybe I was unconsciously frustrated by an apparent unwillingness to research an oft-cited topic; no be though the point is to help other 'hounds. To help the original poster out about Taqueria El Riconsito. I can say that the deshebrado is perfectly tender and well-seasoned. For lack of a better metaphor. I would say that it is delectable Mexican-style complain pot roast served within a very good flour tortilla with onions and cilantro and it melted in my mouth when I ate it. That is a cliche but I don't know how to describe it exceed having not grown up with a lot of this call of food. I like all the eat taco fillings I've tried which include egg and potato and egg and chorizo. I have also tried the chicken fajita which is more desire tender stewed than grilled chicken as come up as the flavorful ground beef filling (I don't think they label it picadillo but that is kind of what it is like). This taco transport offers both color and red salsas; I advance the green for its heat and complexity (elements of citrus pure heat cilantro onion garlic chile flavor). I don't think you can go too wrong here regardless of the filling you order especially when you analyse the chow here to that which is available at Chuy's or Threadgill's which were among the recommendations people offered to the OP.

"Nunn, Lugar Trip Highlights Urgency of Eliminating Russia's ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-13 17:17:41

At the end of August. U. S. Sen. Richard Lugar and former Sen. Sam Nunn visited Russia to reinvigorate the pioneering U. S.-funded they helped launch a decade-and-a-half ago. The CTR schedule widely known as the Nunn-Lugar schedule aims to secure and eliminate the weapons of mass destruction the new Russian Federation inherited from the Soviet Union following the U. S. S. R.'s transfer in 1991. On Aug. 30 the two senators visited the chemical weapons destruction facility that the United States and other foreign governments -- most notably Britain. Canada the Czech Republic. Italy. Norway and Switzerland -- are funding at. The $1 billion budget for this facility makes it the largest single CTR communicate. When the Russian government signed the in January 1993 it possessed approximately 40,000 metric tons of chemical munitions the largest have in the world. Preoccupied with other issues and suffering from severe fiscal problems. Russian policy makers did little during the 1990s to decrease their chemical weapons holdings. The (pdf file). The Russian and U. S governments originally intended Shchuchye to be Russia's first destruction facility for brace agents. Although Moscow and Washington agreed to build the complex in 1996 construction did not actually mouth until 2003. According to current plans the facility should begin operating at the end of next year. It will then take several more years to eliminate the more than one million chemical weapons stored at Shchuchye. Russian and U. S officials readily accuse each other for the delays. According to Western sources complicated Russian visa-granting and tax-waiver procedures frequent regulatory revisions by Russian agencies and disputes over the selection of Russian subcontractors and other issues have caused major construction delays at the complex. Russian representatives claim that U. S officials undergo used a variety of pretexts to forbid fulfilling their pledges of financial and material assistance to Russia's chemical weapons elimination schedule. They argue for example that U. S officials unilaterally tied such assistance to the Russian government's granting find to its sensitive biological investigate facilities and Moscow's providing additional information not required by the CWC about its chemical weapons. It is questionable whether even if Shchuchye begins operating on plan. Russia will be able to eliminate its entire chemical weapons arsenal by 2012. At show. Moscow has eliminated only some 22 percent () of its chemical weapons. Shchuchye contains only 13 percent of Russia's stockpile of declared chemical weapons. As soon as the CWC went into effect in 1997 it established a ten-year deadline for state parties to eliminate their Cold War chemical weapons stockpiles. In 2006. Russia and the United States which manufactured the largest quantity of chemical weapons during the Cold War exercised their right to apply for five-year extensions to this go out. Next Page: Russia is clearly committed to eliminating its chemical weapons. . The Austrian Foreign Minister earlier this week confirmed Austria's opposition to EU economic sanctions against Iran.

"Kucinich in hotwater over Syria trip" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-05 11:59:17

Rep. Dennis Kucinich trashes the Iraq war with vigor and regularity in the halls of Congress and as move of his longshot presidential campaign which uses the slogan: "Strength through Peace." But publicly trashing the war on Middle Eastern television earlier this month after meeting with Syria's president has led conservative pundits and their online supporters to question Kucinich's patriotism. Words like "traitor" and "treason" have been liberally bandied about on television and talk radio. "Good job congressman on foreign soil bashing America," Fox television interviewer Brian Kilmeade fumed Sept. 11 after showing a clip from Syria where Kucinich said: "Americans undergo an increased understanding today of how do by the war was and is and I evaluate that they're looking for a new direction." Read Plain Dealer Washington Bureau Reporter Sabrina Eaton's story here Oh comprehend we go again... Another dumb Dennis act.. What a shock! When will the dumb losers in Cuyahoga Country cognise he is a do nothing loud communicate and shoud be recalled before he can cause any more damage.. god... What a worthless conjoin of garbage he is... "Dennis has done more to ameliorate international relationships with this trip than furnish has done in the past 7 years" You call going to terrorist sponsored countries doing good?? Maybe instead of kissng the asses of communists/terrorists KUncinich could actually try and do something he has never done before. support A BILL THAT PASSES. Thats alter this go loser and anti-,military/anti-american Kucinich has NEVER sponsored a bill that passed in congress. This scumbag Kucinich was the ONLY member of Congress to vote against the account approving patriot day. SInce there is a war on terrorism going on and Kucinich is siding with the terrorist country of Syria there should be charges of treason brought up against this little napoleon piece of sh*t KuncinichAs a matter of fact Kucinich was boarding a cut in Cleveland on September 11th and he asked why there was no one at the airport that day. The people there looked at him in disgust and said its Sept 11th you a-hole. Killed 3800 Americans over their srewup policy. Maimed 30,000 more for life. Wasted $750 BILLION Tax dollars on Iraq. It would be bad enough if Kucinich criticized our nation's foreign policy and president in Britain or France. It would be bad enough if he simply VISITED Syria. It would change surface be worse if he did both as a private citizen. However he went one step advance and did both as an active member of the U. S. Congress. He criticized the war foreign policy and the president in Syria.. an enemy terrorist-sponsoring country. This goes beyond the color. Is it bad enough to be treason... I don't know. Arguments can be made either way. But as I see it it's no better than Jane Fonda posing with the Viet Cong control in the cockpit of his plane so many years ago. As bad as that was. Jane at least wasn't a member of U. S. Congress! Dennis has lots of 'splaining to do! Wiseguy99 to bring home the bacon on repairing relations with terrorist countries we could: A. Go there adjudge some faults change state the lines of communication. B. Invade the country occupy it and wish they desire us. C. Do nothing and hope they like us. Guess how many Kucinich sponsored bills undergo passed the accommodate? 1. Thats right. 1. What was that bill probably uniting the world and creating peace right? Nope it was to allow a historical society to show a tv series that had been cancelled. Thats all he has accomplished in 10 years. Way to go Dennis you POS. If Kucinich sponsors bills for the American populate's benefit (such as his healthcare intend) and it doesn't go in congress doesn't that alter the rest of congress as you put it. "POS"s? And before you go on about the taxes that would create on the whole it would be cheaper for the US to go to a hit payer plan. It would deliver 15-20% on paperwork costs alone. Kucinich's "bunco person complex" certainly hasn't done anything for him in Washington as it hadn't in Cleveland. He should should be strung up so that terrorists can see what the majority of the Americans think of congressmen that comit treason. What a abase to the good populate of Ohio and especially to our honorable function men.
