We can reduce green house gas emission by doing nothing!!! Through Silence. This is inspired by the Nyepi or Silent day practiced by people in Bali for many centuries, even now. For 24 hours people do not travel, work or light the lamps at night. One Silent Day in Bali is estimated to reduce at least 20,000 tons of CO2, the largest contributor of green house gas. Please see www.worldsilentday.org We invite you to contribute to green house gas reduction by reducing energy consumption on 21 March. SWITCH OFF YOUR ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES (computer, AC, TV, radio, cell phone, some lamps, etc) FOR 4 HOURS ONLY!! REMEMBER 21 MARCH!!! GIVE THE EARTH SPACE AND TIME TO BREATHE!!

You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amoun... http://karimaken.multiply.com/journal/item/43/KARIMA Sun, 20 Jan 2008 00:47:12 -0000 BUTTERFLY <a rel="nofollow" href="/photos/hi-res/upload/R38zWQoKCEwAABL-PJ41"><img class="alignright" src="http://images.karimaken.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R38zWQoKCEwAABL-PJ41/232126267_e9fd3b8d0f.jpg?et=FhvqU8L28L8WPjk7MGhnkw&nmid=" border="0"></a>..read this from K's blog "When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses and shouldn't throw stones.

I was absolutely mortified when I saw the amount of fur in their products. It was ghastly. I wanted to vomit. I know it sounds so maarte, but seriously, if you've seen the way they skin animals for their fur, you would feel sick too. They basically do it while they are still alive and concious.

When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.   SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.   SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.   EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.   NINE... http://karimaken.multiply.com/journal/item/31/LIFES_LITTLE_INSTRUCTIONS Mon, 5 Nov 2007 13:10:18 -0000 GREENPEACE <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/Rx8tIQoKCswAAFbfDiU1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.karimaken.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rx8tIQoKCswAAFbfDiU1/greenpeace.jpg?et=71jmPxugbXDPMnHAj9CT%2Bw" border="0"></a>I'm proud to say that I'm a part of GREENPEACE now. GREENPEACE begun with a small group of individuals who decided to get together to protest against nuclear testing at Amchitka, off the west coast of Alaska. They went on to form GREENPEACE and later initiated campaigns on major environmental issues. One of the founding principles of GREENPEACE is to "bear witness"  - that is to watch and record environmental destruction. This principle of direct action together with peaceful confrontation has been the cornerstone of GREENPEACE's campaigns. I truly believe that we cannot go on consuming more of the earth's precious resources without consequences. We should be concerned about how this climate crisis we are in will affect future generations. I want everyone to realize that we have the power to change this and that now is the time to act! http://karimaken.multiply.com/journal/item/30/GREENPEACE Wed, 24 Oct 2007 11:35:34 -0000 THE FRAY - HOW TO SAVE A LIFE ..from Grey's Anatomy http://karimaken.multiply.com/music/item/33/THE_FRAY_-_HOW_TO_SAVE_A_LIFE Thu, 18 Oct 2007 09:43:54 -0000 NELLY FURTADO - ALL GOOD THINGS (COME TO AN END) http://karimaken.multiply.com/video/item/6/NELLY_FURTADO_-_ALL_GOOD_THINGS_COME_TO_AN_END Wed, 10 Oct 2007 01:08:01 -0000 DORK <img class="alignleft" src="http://images.karimaken.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rv3IUAoKCswAAHp3lUo1/dork.jpg?et=S1SuowEpjixSvCW0ioiaHw" border="0"> I'm a dork!!! <img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/teeth.png"> http://karimaken.multiply.com/journal/item/29/DORK Sat, 29 Sep 2007 03:39:12 -0000 Damien Rice - Cannonball (live) I love this http://karimaken.multiply.com/video/item/5/Damien_Rice_-_Cannonball_live Thu, 27 Sep 2007 08:02:31 -0000 I'm Not Missing You - Stacey Orrico Oh, Oh Im not missing you Been through just about everything that I could go through When it comes to relationships Dont know what I was missing or why I aint listen When I told myself that was it Now here I go, hurt again Cause of my curiousity Now that its over What else could it be he just had to cheat I made a promise never to settle Why didnt I keep it?

I know this because I myself was once a dupe for having the incorrect usage of referring this to some sort of resentment or animosity, but later on discovered that it shoudn't be. In a famous fable by Aesop, a fox declared that he didn’t care that he could not reach an attractive bunch of grapes because he imagined they were probably sour anyway. Sour grape or "sour graping" (as often used, in which is also wrong because there's no such word as 'graping') means you put down something you can't have. For example: “Winning the lottery is just a big headache anyway.” The phrase is misused in all sorts of ways by people who don’t know the original story and imagine it means something more general like "bitterness". And by the way, I heard a lot of people saying "ATM machines". Please.. ATM stands for Automated Teller Machine. You can't possibly say Automated Teller Machine machines right?
