The beauty of Capri and the nearby towns like Amalfi has always attracted the glitterati (especially in the summer )so it goes without saying that this summer the paparazzi have a lot of work to do following stars and celebrities around; from Isabella Rossellini who is an habitué ( the famous Italian actress used to pass her summer holidays here as a child) to Princess Micheal whose arrival on the island aroused curiosity and admiration! Actually the two celebs have been spotted on a luxury yacht and at a five star hotel! I don’t know why but all this reminds me of a famous Abba song: Money money money must be funny in the rich man’s world! Source | Positanonews.it

I am what you might call a very butch lesbian and I am soon going to be traveling in India for about 20 days with my girlfriend. Both she and I wonder if it might be better for us in regard to safety and generally getting along unmolested if I were to simply pass as a man while we are there rather than traveling as two women and perhaps being noticed as lesbians. The actual issue of being able to pass would not likely be a problem considering my general presentation and my girlfriend (who has been to India once before) seems to think that people would probably think I am a man (unless corrected) much of the time anyway.

Much of the main south stretch of California SW, from south of Morgan Junction up to the Gatewood/Fauntleroy border at SW Thistle ( map ), not only has received bicycle-awareness “sharrows” in the past week-plus , but now also of this weekend has a bicycle lane, mostly in the southbound/uphill direction. (The bike lane ends at SW Ida [ map ], which is also where the Route 37 bus turns.) Striping crews have been working night and weekend hours in the past several days — they first moved the center line a few feet east, where it’s now marked by reflective yellow “turtles” (so many of which had come off during last winter’s snow/ice/sanding), and then the bike lane appeared. The West Seattle section of the citywide Bicycle Master Plan ( see it here ) does not call for a bike lane in this area – bike lanes are marked by broken dark-blue lines, sharrows by light turquoise, and this stretch is marked only with the latter (here’s a screen grab; link to the full plan is here ): We’ll be checking with SDOT tomorrow about the appearance of the bike lane and if bike lanes are on the drawing board anywhere else in West Seattle that’s not included in the Master Plan

Green is In! In what could turn out as a ‘game changing’ initiative, the world’s largest retailer Walmart has proposed to create “sustainable product index.” The Index, perhaps a composite number that provides a single measure of environmental information, is expected to tell the consumer as to how a product she is buying affected the planet. To begin with Walmart will collect information on environmental aspects of products sold in its stores in the US. Walmart will collect information on energy and climate considerations, including material efficiency, natural resources, and how the item in question affects the people and community from where it comes
