Remember Meredith Kercher

This is about the murder of Meredith Kercher and the necessity for closure. I have a request. If you are going to run a picture, run it of Meredith and not of the [alleged] murderess. The victim should be remembered, not the perpetrator.

Support Mrs. Carr


For a long time, Calum has been crying out for help with the heartless, monolithic monstrosity, the NHS, which is blighting his wife's life. It has to start somewhere, in a small way, so why not with Calum? When Debacle returns I'll put her link up as well.I urge you to help if you can - you don't need to be British.



I join Alison in asking if British (and US and Commonwealth since we are all in this together) bloggers could run the logo above [linked here] in their sidebars, or a post every Friday asking your readers to support this.


Don't forget these either:

Folks, a little money from us in supporting our own troops costs us little, even someone in my circumstances but it makes a huge difference, cumulatively, for them. Let's follow the links and do this thing.

Behind the name Nourishing Obscurity

The name came from an article on China, written in 2006, which quotes Deng Ziao Ping:

According to Deng Xiaoping, in order to eventually overcome, China should adopt the ancient maxim of "hiding brightness and nourishing obscurity," and Beijing adds, "to bide our time and build up our capabilities" and again - "to yield on small issues with the long term in mind."

I quite liked the idea of remaining obscure, particularly in this day and age but it appears to be a misnomer in the case of this blog. Whilst I myself remain obscure, the blog is heading for a fall, taking on and castigating the high and mighty; it's just a question now for how long. :)

'Nourishing Obscurity' seemed an interesting name to me...

and when I came perhaps, it was saying of Ten Commandments of Blogging..

Reached this post today. Good to know the source and rationale of the name; and that the blog is still on its misson... :-)

Will visit often..

btw, just read the post "[misconstructions] server down and other goodies"

I do as you said in the comment setion :-). It was worthwhile to know your thoughts though...
see you more..

Thanks, Devika. We all do some of these things but I still thing it wasn't a bad idea to put forward some ideas to follow, cobbled together from what many experienced bloggers have said.

 

Blogger Devika says ... (06 October 2008 08:22) : 

True..and that was definitely worthy to me..

thanks!

I boycotted supermarkets for a whole year (2007), I did it but it was hard - they have things pretty sewn up.

They do, JPT. If one doesn't buy there, where area all the corner shops at reasonable prices?
