On November 7, 1659, was signed in the Island of Pheasants on the Bidasoa, the Pyrenean treaty that ended 24 years of war with France.

L'article 42 du traité des Pyrénées, signé le 7 novembre 1659, comprenait la cession du Roussillon et du Conflent à la France, ainsi que du Vallespir et de 33 localités de Cerdagne situées au nord de la chaîne des Pyrénées (hors l'enclave de Llívia). Article 42 of the Treaty of the Pyrenees, signed November 7, 1659, included the sale of Roussillon and Conflent to France, and the Vallespir and 33 localities of Cerdanya north of the Pyrenees (outside the enclave of Llívia).

En effet, le traité retenait que les antiques limites des Gaules et de l'Espagne devaient séparer les deux royaumes. In effect, the treaty that kept the ancient boundaries of Gaul and Spain were two separate kingdoms.

clipper's remarks: I thought a climate change bill was dead in the US water even before the New Jersey and Virginia results.

A Senate climate change panel gives a feel-good nod to the collapsing Copenhagen process:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A controversial climate change bill cleared its first hurdle in the U.S. Senate on Thursday, allowing President Barack Obama to tout progress in the run-up to next month's global warming talks in Copenhagen.

...But Democrats are likely to fall far short of their goal of passing legislation in the full Senate before Copenhagen as Boxer's bill lacks enough support for full approval.

Meanwhile, as we brace for Copenhagen:

BARCELONA/WASHINGTON, Nov 5, Reuters - A U.N. climate treaty may need an extra year beyond a December deadline to agree details, delegates at U.N. talks said on Thursday even as a U.S. Senate committee approved a carbon-capping bill.

The Nov. 2-6 meeting of 175 nations in Spain, the last session before a U.N. accord is due in Copenhagen next month, turned gloomy about salvaging a strong deal after two years of negotiations.

Matt Damon in 'Green Zone', Movie With Message About Iraq War

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:58:35 GMT

clipped by: blueridge
clipper's remarks: "Bourne Goes to Iraq" or Loyal Army officer finds out truth and the real enemy which changes his mission against the "powers that be". Note in the clipmark from Wiki the producer intends this to be not merely entertainment but relevant commentary:

"Film shouldn't be disenfranchised from the national conversation. It is never too soon for cinema to engage with events that shape our lives.

Perhaps this is like Clooney and Damon in Syriana in that respect.

Allegedly based upon this book here., which has some real interesting "reviews" worth considering.

Exclusive - Judy Garland behind the scenes of The Wizard of Oz

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the film of The Wizard of Oz, we've been sent a couple of very nice and revealing behind-the-scenes clips. Harold Arlen, who composed the music for the film, was a lifelong camera buff and shot the 16mm footage during the cast portrait sittings for the film and visits to the set.

The first shows Judy Garland flirting with the Scarecrow ...

It's fair to say The Times wasn't too impressed with the film on its release, apart from a grudging nod to the director's achievement in rounding up so many dwarfs - outdoing even the King of Spain.

Altogether the brilliance of the colour, in that black and white age, seems to have been a bit much for our reviewer.

The Wizard of Oz is re-released on Blu-ray and DVD by Warner Home Video priced £22.99

Vatican Condemns Hallowe'en

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:39:18 GMT

clipped by: sahara
clipper's remarks: Last year a newspaper controlled by the Italian bishops, Avvenire, called for a boycott of Hallowe'en, calling it a "dangerous celebration of horror and the macabre" which could encourage "pitiless [Satanic] sects without scruples".

Earlier this week the Catholic Church in Spain also condemned the growing popularity of Halloween, saying it threatened to overshadow the Christian festival of All Saints' Day.

The Bishop of Siguenza-Guadalajara, Jose Sanchez, said there was a risk that Halloween could "replace Christian customs like devotion to saints and praying for the dead."

Clip Source: www.telegraph.co.uk

The Vatican has condemned Hallowe'en as anti-Christian, saying it is based on a sinister and dangerous "undercurrent of occultism".

The Holy See has warned that parents should not allow their children to dress up as ghosts and ghouls on Saturday, calling Hallowe'en a pagan celebration of "terror, fear and death".

The Roman Catholic Church has become alarmed in recent years by the spread of Hallowe'en traditions from the US to other countries around the world.

As in Britain, it is only in recent years that Italian children have dressed up in costumes, played trick or treat on their neighbours and made lanterns out of hollowed out pumpkins.

The Vatican issued the warning through its official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, in an article headlined "Hallowe'en's Dangerous Messages".

The paper quoted a liturgical expert, Joan Maria Canals, who said: "Hallowe'en has an undercurrent of occultism and is absolutely anti-Christian."

clipper's remarks: in exchange for pledges to donate $30,400 personally or to bundle $300,000 in contributions ahead of the 2010 midterm elections.” Yup, they’re just haggling over the price.

Many Obama bundlers have secured slots on federal advisory panels and commissions. Still more have benefited from the time-honored patronage tradition of rewarding political benefactors with ambassadorships. Clinton did it. Bush did it. And despite all his fantastical, Balloon Boy-level rhetoric of bringing a “new politics” to Washington, Obama’s done it, too.

His ambassador to London, Louis Susman, is a Chicago crony with no diplomatic experience who bundled between $200,000 and $500,000 for Team Obama and is known as “The Vacuum Cleaner” for his fundraising prowess. His ambassador to France, entertainment mogul Charlie Rivkin headed up Obama’s California fundraising operations, raking in $500,000 for the campaign and another $300,000 for the inaugural.

My syndicated column today gives you a handy overview of all the president’s campaign finance bundlers — many of whom were spotlighted in Culture of Corruption. The Washington Times and USA Today shed more light on the money men and women with access to the White House. Same old, same old.

Despite the president’s claimed distaste for the campaign finance practice known as “bundling” (rounding up aggregate contributions from friends, business associates, and employees), the House of Obama has been a campaign finance bundlers’ paradise from Day One. A new report by Matthew Mosk of the Washington Times just confirms the gob-smackingly obvious: It’s business as usual in the era of Hope and Change. O’s wealthiest Democrat donors have received lavish receptions, golf outings, bowling dates, and movie nights with Obama.

Democratic National Committee documents acquired by the Times reveal that “high-dollar fundraisers have been promised access to senior White House officials

The Beautiful Girls of Perpignan

Clip Source: solosentiments.com

Now of course I realise there are beautiful girls and women all over the world and I don’t want to upset anybody by suggesting that there aren’t. I just wanted to take a moment to praise the good looks of a select few who hail from the small city of Perpignan in France ,close to the Spanish border. Perpignan is in the Languedoc region of France and to be honest there aren’t more or less good looking people than average in the rest of the area, but the woman of this city are different. I think it’s to do with the mix of Spanish and French blood. Perpignan used to be part of Spain and so you find a great many girls with sultry Latin looks and that great style and flair that the French are famous for.
