Worldwide Participation to Say NO to Burma’s Sham Election

Posted in Asia with tags Democracy, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma 2010 Election, Mecchadihtti Than Shwe, Sham Election, Myanmar 2010 Election, burma campaign on November 6, 2010 by buffalohair

I am forwarding this appeal to the world from Aung Myo Win, Member of Burma Campaign and a Burmese Patriot to halt the bogus election scam being perpetrated by criminal dictator Gen. Than Shwe of Burma. The election is a fraud and a bold faced lie based on a bogus document that was also forced on the belieguresd people of Burma in 2008, The New Constitution.  As of this writing Than Shwe is excluding various ethnic groups, threatening the people at gun point and murdering those who would vote against the thugs he has in place to ‘take over control’ of Burma. Just remember that Than Shwe ‘retired’ a host of his key generals so they could form political parties and sham candidates in this scam to make Burma look legitimate.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is the true leader of Burma, no one else!

———————————————————————————————————

Please take this pledge to call at least 5 friends in Burma not to vote.

WHY???
2010 Elections in Burma are fully rehearsed to legitimise military rule in Burma. The 2008 constitution said it does not guarantee the protection of the rights of Ethnic Peoples, nor Human Rights, nor democratic principles, and so it will not aid the construction of a peaceful democratic nation. The election laws are unfair and unjust.
It is important to tell people of Burma not to go out to vote. The electorate of Burma have the right NOT to vote in the election.
“People have the right to vote as well as the right not to vote.” “Coercing people to vote by force is against the law.” “If people do not want to vote because they cannot see the NLD on the ballot paper and so are not able to vote for this party, then they should not vote.” Q+A Who should I call? At least 5 of anyone you know in Burma.
What if I don’t have any friends in Burma?
Call someone random you can find from following listing websites.
1. http://www.myanmar-yellowpages.com/
2. http://www.myanmaryellowpages.biz/
NOTE: Please be aware of the time difference. If you are calling from aboard, November 7th in Burma will be November 6th in the East, such as USA, UK, Canada, etc.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Chicken and Broccoli

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Chicken and Broccoli

I learned to make gnocchi after eating it in an Italian restaurant in Chicago in the early 90s. I love any kind of dumpling and I love pasta, and gnocchi is basically a pasta dumpling, so what's not to love? The sweet potatoes give this dish nice color and are more nutrition than regular potatoes. I recently order gnocchi at a popular Italian restaurant and the owner told me gnocchi was kind of a feminine dish, saying that women love it. I've always maintained that the women in my life have better taste than I do anyway, so I think I'll keep ordering the gnocchi, thank you very much!

I learned to make gnocchi after eating it in an Italian restaurant in Chicago in the early 90s. I love any kind of dumpling and I love pasta, and gnocchi is basically a pasta dumpling, so what’s not to love? The sweet potatoes give this dish nice color and are more nutrition than regular potatoes. I recently order gnocchi at a popular Italian restaurant in downtown Springfield and the owner told me gnocchi was kind of a feminine dish, saying that women love it. I’ve always maintained that the women in my life have better taste than I do anyway, so I think I’ll keep ordering the gnocchi, thank you very much!
This week we have bananas on sale as well as Nilla wafers. As far as I’m concerned, this week’s dessert was a foregone conclusion! This is my version. If you don’t want to be hassled with making the pudding, Jello Vanilla pudding works nicely!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Chicken and Broccoli

INGREDIENTS

• 2 quarts boiling water
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into ½ inch cubes
• 2 eggs
• 2½ cups Best Choice non bleached/ non enriched flour plus 1 cup reserved
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 large crown fresh broccoli
• 1 whole chicken cut up
• 1 small white onion, diced to ¼ inch dice
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 large, hot house tomato
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted Hiland butter
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan

PREPARATION
Place potato in water and cook for at least 15 minutes or until VERY soft. Place eggs in a mixer or metal bowl and beat for 30 seconds until just starting to froth. When potatoes are cooked, drain and run under cold water until cooled. Drain well. Add cooled potatoes to eggs. Beat until mixture is very smooth. Add flour and alt and beat on low until a light dough is formed. Using reserved flour, lightly flour a counter top or board and pour dough onto it. Cut dough into 4 pieces. Roll out one piece of the dough into a long tube about ¾ inch in diameter. Cut tube into ½ inch pieces. Using a fork dipped in flour, gently press a piece of the dough with the fork, then roll the dumpling off of the fork and pinch the two ends together. Set aside on a lightly floured surface. This take some practice, but the more you roll , the better you will get! Repeat the process with the rest of the dough.
Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan and add chicken pieces. When chicken is cooked through, remove the chicken from the broth, set aside to cool and put cooking liquid back on stove. Remove chicken from the bone and cut into 1 inch pieces. Dice tomato to ¼ inch dice.
Bring chicken broth to a boil and drop gnocchi in simmering liquid. After all of the dumplings have floated to surface, cook two minutes longer. Remove from liquid. Cool under running water if going to use later, or set aside if using right away.
Place a large skillet on stove over high heat and add oil. Saute tomato, onion, and garlic in oil until onions are soft. Add chicken and pasta. Add butter and toss well, season with salt and pepper. Pout into a bowl, top with Parmesan and serve.

Simple Chopped Salad

INGREDIENTS

• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 1 cucumber
• 1 large, hot house tomato
• 1 bag slaw mix
• dressing
  

PREPARATION
Cut cucumber in half vertically,
then into ½ inch slices. Cut
tomato in to 8 wedges. Remove
core from lettuce then cut into thin strip. Mix lettuce with slaw mix in a large salad bowl. Dress with the Hidden Valley Ranch/ or your choice. Toss and arrange cucumbers and tomato around edge of salad.

Today I wanted to take a step back and give it up for one of my fabulous Wellness Team bloggers (and my green home and lifestyle consultant) Caroline Howell. In one of her recent blog, Caroline talks about how you can help yourself, those around you, and the environment with a couple of small changes that will improve the quality of the air you breath. Check it out: 

Cleaning supplies are one of the biggest contributors to yucky indoor air quality and that’s why I think it’s crucial that we know some easy ways to improve our indoor air quality. Would you believe that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks Indoor Air Quality as one of the top 3 health concerns in the U.S.? 

I talk a lot about this topic (ad nauseam, some friends and my hubby would say) when I speak to groups around Los Angeles and have done a lot of GreenBeanie blogging on the topic too. Poor indoor air quality exacerbated my son’s asthma when he was a baby and this really started our family on our path to “greener pastures.”

So let’s do a little vocabulary work and then a few quick ideas on improving indoor air quality in your home.

“VOCs” or Volatile Organic Compounds – a variety of chemicals that are emitted in gas form from certain solids and liquids. The concentration of VOCs is higher indoors than out, often up to 5 times as much, according to the EPA. You might have seen “low VOC” paint in the aisles at the hardware store.

“Offgassing” – The releasing of VOCs into the air. Offgassing occurs from a variety of materials and products including paint, cleaning supplies, finishes, some furniture, et al. Want an example of offgassing? The smell of a beach ball or plastic shower curtain. Yep, that’s offgassing and it’s not healthy for you!

There are a variety of things you can do to improve the quality of the air in your home or indoor space including:

1. Open the windows – let the air flow and circulate.

2. Leave your shoes at the door – avoid tracking the grime off the street into your living space. Did you know that 70-80% of the dirt in our homes comes in off our shoes? Seems like a no-brainer to leave your shoes at the door after hearing this stat.

3. Vacuum and wet mop floors at least once a week. If you have animals, you should clean the floors two times per week.

4. Use plants as natural air purifiers. A NASA study states that there are some plants that help clean the air better than others. Check out photos of these plants.

5. Purchase eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning supplies, as we talked about in my previous blog.

6. Don’t use toxic pesticides on your lawn. These chemicals come in the door on little feet and paws and settle into your carpet or floors.

Emotional Eating

Monday: FEELING GOOD

How to Deal With the Cause of Your Emotional Eating
Do high-stress situations send you straight for the fridge? If you think the solution to a problem with your boss can be found at the bottom of a pint of ice cream, then pay attention. Food is not the solution to whatever it is that is making you feel sad, angry, pressured, or anxious. In fact, unhealthy, emotional eating leads to weight gain and self-loathing. The key to stopping this kind of eating is to identify and understand your triggers. One way to start is to keep a journal or use your online Food Diary to record not only what you eat but how you feel when you eat it. Then you have to work on dealing with your emotions — without food. To break the self-destructive cycle of emotional eating, you have to create awareness and then implement a game plan.

Putting the Brakes on Emotional Eating

Do high-stress situations send you straight for the fridge? If you think the solution to a problem with your boss can be found at the bottom of a pint of ice cream, then pay attention. Food is not the solution to whatever it is that is making you feel sad, angry, pressured, or anxious. In fact, unhealthy, emotional eating leads to weight gain and self-loathing. The key to stopping this kind of eating is to identify and understand your triggers. One way to start is to keep a journal or use your online Food Diary to record not only what you eat but how you feel when you eat it. Then you have to work on dealing with your emotions — without food. To break the self-destructive cycle of emotional eating, you have to create awareness and then implement a game plan. Here's how:

Before you eat anything, I want you to ask yourself two questions: Are you hungry? And are you depressed or anxious? Then ask the following question: Can you find an appropriate way to address whatever emotions you've uncovered instead of suppressing them?

For example, if you had an argument with your mother, can you call her and talk it through? If you're feeling anxious about a work- or school-related deadline, can you break down the work into manageable parts, so that each time you finish a part you'll feel more on top of it? If you can address the emotion in the moment by acting on it directly and positively, seize the opportunity to do so.

Using food as an anesthetic is easy in the short term but extremely detrimental in the long term. Looking problems in the eye is difficult, but once you begin to probe beneath your behavior and analyze your feelings, it gets easier and easier.
