RGB Haze

It's so rare to come across a Perfect 10 polish, but this is one of them! It applied flawlessly, the color is so loveably shroomy, and the shine on this is seriously epic. This took 2 coats, and the finish on it is somewhere between opaque and jelly, the only word I can think to describe it is "milky". I absolutely adore everything about Haze! RGB is still a new brand to me, this is my 2nd time ordering from them. I went for Haze and Steel and they arrived in 3 days. A big plus is the company always offers free shipping! I'm surprised they don't get more love, maybe it's because they have a limited color range, but several months ago they did come out with a color for the new mint trend. I'm hoping they come out with more colors soon (maybe a turquoise?), but until then I'm loving my small RGB collection!

Miracles Happen---So, Never Give Up Hope!

He was born at Taronga Zoo, Sydney on the 7th March this year.

His name is Pathi Harn, an Asian name meaning Miracle.....

Taronga Zoo sits on the side of Sydney Harbour. This giraffe looks towards the city.

Pregnant Asian Elephant Hong Dee came into labour with her first calf following 22 months gestation. It was a gruelling time. After 5 days her waters finally broke yet still no sign's of the calf appearing. By now the cow was in agony,twisting, crawling, climbing and rolling as time progressed, yet she uttered no sound. Keepers kept a helpless vidual after the Zoo Vet performed an ultasound and announced....NO MOVEMENT. All were sad. Even the other elephants paid the first time mother no heed..... they seemed to understand! To perform a C-section was out of the question as success rates are low and the cow usually dies. Nothing could be done, they simply had to wait on natures own time. Knowing it could be weeks or months for the expulsion the keepers gave up their observation. At about 5am on the seventh day, the video camera's recorded the birth. Not still born as imagined but alive...... The mother kept tender watch over her baby, occassionally prodding to encourage him to stand. Hours later keepers arrived to discover the live, but very fragile little fellow. Watched by the mother they worked massaging his body and assisting him to stand. Colostrum extracted from the mother was tube fed directly into the baby's stomach, to give valuable first life assistance.

He was nicknamed Mr Shuffles to begin with as he found it had to get along.
The Miracle: The baby had been preserved in a coma type rest inside the mother during her long labour. If this had not happened, then the placenta would have detached from the uterus wall causing the baby to die.

Friends came to visit and he had a playmate.

Soon the weakest began to find his strength and started to throw his weight around.

Now he weighs 156 Kilos or 344 lbs.

The Moral Is: At the slightest sign of survival never give up the fight and never give up HOPE.

God's Word tells us in: Ecclesiates 3:1-2 "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under Heaven. A time to give birth and a time to die".....

This little elephant didn't know how to worry, but he does know how to live.....For he is a MIRACLE...

GREETINGS

A warm welcome to R Cubes.

May God bless your coming in and going out.
And keep you ever safe in Him.

Here Come the Carbon Cops !

Beware Australia! This can be bigger than Kevin Rudd's Carbon Caps if these people get their way. Australia's has its fair share of Hippies, Tree-Huggers and Greenies but Super Greenies are another story. These are professional "WATERMELONS" who are so Green on the Outside but oh so RED on the Inside. These Commie-leaning bastards have money and are trying to use their Power to tell you how to enjoy a restricted lifestyle...so you can Save-the-Planet!!

In this context, such deprivations of freedom are just fine even for the far left's feelings about civil liberty encroachment. In fact, the global warming agenda poses a far greater threat to individual liberties than most imagine. As columnist Mark Steyn notes, "It's fascinating to observe how almost any old totalitarian racket becomes respectable once it's cloaked in enviro-hooey!"

The Carbon Sense Coalition in Australia wants the government and business community to acknowledge the role that agricultural soils can play in addressing the Global Warming crisis. They say that farmers can play a central role in sequestering carbon in soils fostering deep-rooted plant species. They say this carbon-sink approach is better than growing forests. To further their "philosophy of dirt", they have offered the following compilation of proposals to use the country's laws to modify our behavior in the name of global warming:

Ban open fires and pot bellied stoves

Ban coal-fired power generation

Ban Plasma and LCD TVs

Ban new and extensions to airports

Ban "standby mode" on appliances

Ban electric hot water systems

Ban vacationing by car

Ban three day weekends

Tax big cars (are big people next?)

Tax supermarket parking areas

Tax holiday plane flights

Tax second cars and motorcycles

Tax babies (their needs require a large carbon footprint)

Eco-tax for cars entering cities

Require permits to drive beyond your city's limits

Limit choice in appliances available

Dictate fuel usage standards

Remove white lines on roads to make motorists drive more carefully (no kidding!)

Of course, these restrictions in practice will be upon the masses, not the elitist committee, who will continue to commute in private cars and private jets (right Mr Gore ?) and claim phoney reductions when it suits them to nag others. You can see the warmist agenda, even down here in Australia, threatens to undermine our freedom and the world's economic and social order. Welcome to the new MIDDLE AGES!
