Footprints

The Carbon Disclosure Project yesterday announced a few results from its ‘Supply Chain Leadership Collaboration’ (press release - pdf) – but not the actual figures. Companies like Procter and Gamble, Unilever and Tesco have been requesting carbon footprint data from their suppliers. The purpose of the project is to measure “carbon risks and liabilities in the [...]

A few days ago I mentioned in the comment section that we have quite lots of wind these days. Pumuckl is really scared when the curtains are flying around and I always just hope he won't sit in his favorite place in balcony these days and fly away.Strong wind in a country of desert like Egypt is really a problem. I hate to close the windows as we all love to get some fresh air. But unfortunately this behavior turns our home into desert too. We have got sand everywhere. In the floor, tables, the wall system. However I clean, it comes back.The funny part of that is: We can see where the cats have stayed during the day. They are leaving their footprints everywhere.Looks like we are never cleaning, huh? This is the result of one night with wind.This used to be our dining table which is used w

And now the conclusion of one of the more unique drama series of this year, yet! We await what happens to Takuma and Hayami … his coping of his past … and the fate of the village!

Wait a sec, how’d I miss this episode? x.x It slipped past my torrent radar. Oh well, catch up time: Things are going full-circle now, with the happiness appearing short-lived and characters’ problems and complications coming back. Can Hayami and Takuma make their way out by overcoming even greater challenges? Or is the village doomed [...]

Footprints In The Snow - What great fun it is to take your little baby boy or baby girl out into their first snowfall. Little tiny boot prints almost invisible as the snow blows over them. And, by the time you get back inside, the little baby boot prints have vanished in the swirling snow to be seen no more. Preserving these little special moments in time is .....

As much as we hate to admit it, we all love watching the X Factor. The lame auditions, Sharon Osbourne ranting on like an aunty whos just drank a whole bottle of sherry, Louis going in a massive strop because his acts have been voted out the show. Yes, we all watch it and enjoy [...]

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I nee

We have our main couple in a super happy state, but will it stay that way? Do I sense a parallel with Clannad with the couple-living-under-the-same-roof situation? And yet more secrets of everyone’s past is revealed. Status of soul: Yawning Impressions The episode goes from good to bad in terms of mood. I suppose this means the plot [...]

LA TIMES - Like many of the Californians he represents, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger now spends more than three hours commuting because he lives so far from the office. But his ride is a private jet. After flirting briefly with buying a Sacramento abode for his family, then living alone for a while in a 2,000-square-foot hotel penthouse across from the Capitol, the governor has decided to stay nearly every night at his Brentwood mansion. The commute costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which aides say the governor pays for himself. Some environmentalists say the trips expand his carbon footprint enough to undermine his image as a crusader against global warming, despite the pollution credits he buys to offset the damageevan.halper@latimes.com

Quase de certeza que vão gostar e o vídeo está simples mas a Leona está fantástica.O outro single é a lindíssima balada "Footprints In The Sand", que tem um vídeo bastante comovente, talvez porque este single é para beneficiência e caridade, mais precisamente para a "Sport Relief".Download:Leona Lewis - Footprints In The SandEsperamos que gostem e que apoiem esta artista pois ela está a mostr

Here Is the Latest Video From The UK's Very Own 'Mini Whitney' - Leona Lewis.Footprints In The Sand is part of a double A-Side release, with Better In Time. It also serves as this years Sport Relief single, a BBC aided fund-raiser that helps out various charities around the world.The song itself is another 90's style pop ballad, showing off Leona's vocal ability, while remaining pretty lame on the lyrical & musical levels. Leona will be a superstar, but I wish it was for some real soulful material, rather than some mediocre, pre-written pop. In saying that, I have a soft spot for some 'lovey lovey' songs & I do like this one.Leona Lewis - Footprints In The SandFeeling The Song?The Video?Let Me Know...

Be sure to buy her new album, out this April (in the US, that is). Enjoy the video!

When Princess Diana died, I was bothered by the fawning coverage of what seemed to me to be the excessive displays of public grief. This was at the tail end of my undergraduate years - I was working on my honour`s thesis, about the post-modern politics of community storytelling - and I was as pious a Marxist-feminist as you could hope to find, anywhere. The collective global wailing and rending

A couple of days ago John Grant pointed out the rather disappointing results of sites that you sign up to and commit to reduce your carbon footprint. He suggested that the reason why ‘carbon diets’ have been less successful than food diets is that no-one can see how fat you are, and suggested some sort [...]

Recientemente, en la publicación anterior de "Los nuevos animes para el 2008" hable llegue a mencionar el anime H2O ~ FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND ~ (H2O - Huellas en la arena ~), el cual va a estrenarse a principios de Enero del 2008. El anime esta dentro del género favorito de muchos de nuestros lectores... el Harem y el Romance.. (si lo se, quién no ama eso?). Recientemente publicaron el Trailer Oficial de esta serie en la página oficial Japonesa de NewType. Así que para el deleite de todos, les recomiendo que lo vean, aunque tiene partes narradas en inglés, les recomiendo que se fijen en la animación. El primer vídeo es el Trailer oficial, el segundo parece ser un opening. Lo que podemos esperar Basándome en los dos vídeos, en la animación, el contenido y la trama que se puede ver en los vídeos, aquí les dejo una pequeña gráfica sobre lo que podremos esperar de este Anime.

Measuring carbon footprints is an activity renowned for its double-counting pitfalls. Dieter Helm's recent report (pdf) into Britain's "consumption' emissions falls into one. The World Resource Institute's GHG Protocol, the benchmark methodology for calculating corporate emissions, divides footprints into three scopes: 1) direct (for example emissions from a company's vehicle fleet or factories), 2) indirect emissions associated with energy purchased from third parties and 3) all other emissions, such as emissions in the supply chain or from how customers use products. Installations in the EU ETS only have regulatory exposure to their direct (scope 1) emissions, because any indirect emissions in the other two scopes are direct emissions for another party. Including them would be double counting. The higher emissions identified in the study are, in effect, Britain's scope 3 emissions. The British government does not directly control them. Some companies measure their scop

One day a man having conversation with god when his whole life flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time.He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints.He asked god "You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??"To which god answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times in your life, I was carrying you"*******Another day I was having a similar conversation with my Project Manager (PM) when my whole project flashed before my eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time.I saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult times in the project there were only one set of footprints.I asked my PM, "You said you will be with me throughout the project, but why have you deserted me

One night I had a dream. I was walking along the beach with GOD and across the skies flashed scenes from my life. In each scene, I noticed, two sets of footprints in the sand. And to my surprise, I noticed that many times, along the path of my life, there was only one set of foot prints. And I noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times in my life. I asked GOD about it "GOD you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I notice during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you left my side when I needed you most." GOD said "My precious child, I never left you during your time of trial. Where you see only one set of footprints, I was carrying you ."

The topic of volun-tourism has been mentioned numerous times of late (such as our volunteer guide) so when I came across this excellent short film, I thought I’d share. Here’s the lowdown: 12 people, 3 days and 1 school. This is a documentary about a community project trek deep into the Himalaya to help restore a school. The project was a joint venture been The Footprints Network, World Nomads and World Expeditions. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

“We carry with us these footprints of vanished places: apartments we moved out of years ago, dry cleaners that went out of business, restaurants that stopped serving…” We all carry around in our heads countless blueprints of nostalgia, from old bedrooms to corner bars in foreign countries. There is wonderfully imagery in this brief piece in the NY Times by Verlyn Klinkenborg, entitled Remembered Spaces.

Some Home Base Holidays members really know how to entice interest in their home exchange offers with detailed descriptions, often drawing readers in by encouraging them to envisage themselves relaxing in the home, perhaps enjoying a quiet drink on a patio overlooking a beautiful view at the end of a busy day. It helps, of course, if a location has a lot to offer visitors but even an area which those who live there may take for granted can be interesting, even exotic, to others who live somewhere completely different. From the description she gave of her home and area, a new member in Cairns, Queensland, Australia, certainly has reason to end her offer with:'If you want to put the first footprints on the beach each morning then tempt us!' A brief description:'We offer a 3 bedroom villa in a 4 star resort, just 100 mtrs to beach. The resort has great facilities: a gym, sauna, tennis court, 2 pools, lap/beach pool, BBQs, children's playground and front office tour desk. A cafe pr

Pics of the Day ~ Sunbeams and Footprints ~ Wow. I am all alone … with my two children. Wow. We are all missing Grandma M! Becca sadly proclaimed that Grandma needs to come back! It was so sweet and sad. She had to have a tea party this morning and poured a special cup for Grandma! J has returned to work. It is so cute. He is on-call in case I need him. It is still a crazy busy time for him at work, so he has to be there and I totally support that. Besides it is not like I am completely new at this gig! The doctor that Ethan initially saw on Tuesday called with updates yesterday. He asked about Ethan’s colouring and cautioned us not to be over-confident and if we think he is yellowing we should bring him in for yet another blood test. So we sought out the only sunbeam in the apartment and Ethan has been soaking up the rays for a couple hours each day. He is definitely not getting worse and he seems to be a little more alert, so we are keeping the hope. Once Ethan h

Its wonderful to see snow again after a gap of a year. Last time it was in Netherlands , now its in Canada. Its an ever exciting thing to step on snow for people like us who come from dry lands where we dont see snow. Nature looks beautiful and gets painted with white color all over when it snows. Playing snowball is fun for kids & audults equally. We enjoyed it :)Early morning walk gets you some wonderful glimpses of the nature. You get to see the small bird chirping around, Water droplets that got frozen trying to drip from corners, Lakes frozen and lot more.Whenever i saw my own steps in the snow i grin'd..."My footprints in Canada!!"Since this is almost the beginig of summer we may not find this snow for long. I hope summer will be far more exciting when we can walk around places freely.

Review by Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. @ allmusic.com Vocalist Karrin Allyson has been making waves on the mainstream jazz scene since the '90s, which leaves fans eagerly awaiting new collections like Footprints. While the album features a number of things that fans have come to expect -- good songs, scat singing, and fine vocals -- Footprints also adds a number of guest spots to sweeten the package.
