Participez à la plus grande mobilisation
des citoyens contre le Changement Climatique !
L’Alliance pour la Planète lance un appel simple à tous les citoyens, 5 minutes de répit pour la planète : tout le monde éteint ses veilles et lumières le 1er février 2007 entre 19h55 et 20h00. Il ne s’agit pas d’économiser 5 minutes d’électricité uniquement ce jour-là, mais d’attirer l’attention des citoyens, des médias et des décideurs sur le gaspillage d’énergie et l’urgence de passer à l’action ! 5 minutes de répit pour la planète : ça ne prend pas longtemps, ça ne coûte rien...
February 1, 2007:
Participate in the biggest mobilization of Citizens Against Global
Warming!
The Alliance for the Planet [a group of environmental
associations] is calling on all citizens to create 5 minutes of
electrical rest for the planet. People all over the world should turn
off their lights and electrical appliances on the first of February
2007, between 1.55 pm and 2.00 pm in New York, 18.55 for London, and
19.55 for Paris, Bruxelles, and Italy. 1.55 pm in Ottawa, 10.55 am on
the Pacific Coast of North America. This is not just about saving 5
minutes worth of electricity; this is about getting the attention of
the media, politicians, and ourselves. Five minutes of electrical
down time for the planet: this does not take long, and costs nothing,
and will show all political leaders that global warming is an issue
that needs to come first and foremost in political debate. Why
February 1? This is the day when the new UN report on global climate
change will come out in Paris. This event affects us all, involves us
all, and provides an occasion to show how important an issue global
warming is to us. If we all participate, this action can have real
media and political weight. Please circulate this call to your utmost
ability to your network.
Pour bien commencer la semaine, voici quelques jolies photos de notre Princesse!
« Les gros nez » : c'est l'expression par laquelle les Asiatiques désignent les Occidentaux. Initiateur de l'adoption internationale en République Populaire de Chine, le Québec conserve encore aujourd'hui la palme d'or en la matière. Depuis 1990, près de 5 000 enfants chinois, dont une très grande majorité de filles, ont trouvé une famille au Québec. Tourné sur une période de dix ans, ce documentaire présente les expériences et les questionnements de huit familles d'un genre nouveau, mais de moins en moins exceptionnel. Avec la complicité d'Alice, Léa, Julia, Adèle, Miganne, Kayli, Jeanne, Anne, Lou-Qian, Giulia et leurs parents, ce documentaire raconte comment grandissent toutes ces petites fleurs de lotus transplantées en sol nord-américain, quels défis particuliers rencontrent les parents adoptants et comment la présence de toutes ces nouvelles Québécoises aux yeux bridés peut contribuer à esquisser la société québécoise de demain.

Long Night Moon
from the album Long Night Moon
I’ve got a place for you
Under the long night moon
And I’ll dream that I’ll see you soon
Goodnight, goodnight
Outside my back window
The oak tree stands alone
Waiting for a blanket of snow
Goodnight, goodnight
All through the winter
I’ll grow colder here with just your memory
But I know that somewhere you are holding on for me
Throughout the atmosphere
God knows I want you here
I can’t fake this holiday cheer
Goodnight, goodnight
All through the winter
I will build my fire in this empty room
But I know you’ll come back when the magnolias bloom
I’ve got a place for you
Under the long night moon
And I’ll dream you’re looking up too
Goodnight, goodnight
goodnight long night moon

She got a beautiful old fashioned wooden pram from her Grandparents and we ordered her a director's chair also from the same company "Moulin Roty" but unfortunately it hasn't arrived on time so we are keeping it for her birthday. She got a lovely shirt from her friends "Mumu and Alé" as well a frame with some fun pictures. She got another pram from our friends and neighbours which she can take outside She got loads of other stuff. She was really really spoilt!
It has 320 x 480 screen.
It has a full-touch keyboard.
It has a built-in wi-fi.
It is Bluetooth compatible. Now while waiting at the Doctor's, the Dentist or whatever I could check email or post on my blog. Also when Mark will be "playing" with his tamagotchi (i.e. blackberry*) or in other words when he is working I will have something to play with as well!
It has a 2 megapixel camera and the high end model boasts 8GBs of storage.
It has ITunes integration which means favourite music anytime, anywhere without having to carry an extra gadget (Yes Jamie anytime, anywhere!)
It's also a video iPod, and you know what that means the new episodes of "Lost season III" anytime, anywhere.*
To my eyes there is only one...
It has a touch screen. I am unsure I like touch screens as you always get lots of finger prints on them.
or maybe another one...
It's supposed to hit the streets in the US in June.
