Jack Black Short Hair

Max JR by Oppermann 10 weeks

Wuff says Max!
love from Iris, who is busy with writing letters.
But in the first picture I will introduce you to my mom.
Iris thinks that if you click with a mouse the image, whatever that means
could still see it larger.


Mama chick is great. She is very patient with me - but sometimes I prefer strong, I especially nerve, if I jump in full gallop through the kitchen directly to them in her basket on it or pinch it with my sharp teeth into her floppy ears.
She still has back problems and is so wobbly on his hind legs. Iris says
Tussi would leak but it is now getting more sausage balls.
I believe, filled with yellow or white or other spheres
Tabsschletten or something like that.


At 10 weeks, the world sees it quite differently.
I already made acquaintance with the puppy on two legs.


Miguel and Camila played the people of puppy next door today with me.
We had a relay race in my opinion ...
and then I was also tickled out yet. I was spared nothing. :)


I was in the evening made quite a bit.


romp But that was fun! Unfortunately, I've no other siblings.
But how that can run with her two legs so quickly is beyond me.
But that must be due to the length. Although I have four of them but dachshund short.
But we really have raged.

cried But then my basket - I was dog-tired.
So a puppy everyday can be really be exhausting.

And now I go to bed. Iris has us covered up nicely.
It's cold at the time in Quito.
Good night and I will create an even more greetings from Iris.

comment for broadcast on 31 January 2008
By Axel Jeroma

The cities Quito and La Paz, because of their altitude as venues for World Cup qualifying matches in football risk. Furthermore, we have already reported on this show several times. The South American soccer federation CONMEBOL has these days the two countries strengthen the back. The last word, however, the world football body FIFA. Listen to our comment of the week.

FIFA is known for some stupid proposal. One of them recall the many football fans with horror, was the reorganization of the passive offside. introduced before the Confederations Cup in Germany in 2005, the rule change was found in practice to be completely silly. They quickly disappeared into the dustbin.
Thither includes all plans, the host cities of La Paz and Quito from the FIFA to pay off map. For decades, will be held in two cities, World Cup Qualifiers. Of health problems has never been something known. But precisely this argument now runs the FIFA approach to their plans. According to a report by British doctors are at a height of 2750 meters of health problems for football players not be excluded. The medical advice is to sufficient acclimatization. They call at least a week. This period is not feasible because of the tight schedule of the professionals. Such legislation would be tantamount to the end for Quito and La Paz
But there is hope. For to have in the industry long since taken hold of doubt whether a lengthy acclimation is at all meaningful. Some teams have found another remedy for the games in the altitude of Quito and La Paz. You arrive just before the game to escape the conversion process. The Venezuelan national team went before her victory at the World Cup qualifier last October before the same way. She trained for several days before the game on the coast, flew to Quito in the morning, won the evening meeting and then went directly home to Venezuela.
This example makes one thing clear: The altitude seems to be more of a psychological than a physical advantage. Because the altitude would really be a more decisive Factor would play Ecuador and Bolivia, each time leading positions in the World Cup qualifiers in South America. If they do not. Therefore, much depends rather well with the attitude of the opponents. When they arrive often with a B-team, they need not be surprised if they grab a few points in La Paz or Quito.
Bolivian President Evo Morales can understand the whole fuss about the venues Quito and La Paz as little: "If you can live in the highest, where you can play football," he said last week. He's right. Hopefully this will finally realize the gentlemen of the FIFA.

To much sun in the Andean highlands

Finally, as always, the views of the weather: sun cream with high sun protection factor was in those days required in the Andean highlands. That says it all about the temperatures in the mountains. The serene weather of recent weeks continued. Only at night it was under the clear sky can be quite cool.

The plus the news is our comment
tone is rougher
By Axel Jeroma

The political tone in Ecuador has become rougher in recent weeks. This has contributed not only President Rafael Correa with his usual sharp rhetoric. The Mayor of Guayaquil and business leaders have strongly voiced in the political contest. Listen to our comment of the week

2008 is a year of clashes in Ecuador. This assessment is not from the political observers in the country. No. It comes from Ecuador's President Rafael Correa. He believes that the former elites of the country will do everything that should not stop him from twelve months ago launched revolution of the bourgeoisie. In the one-year anniversary of his presidency over the weekend in front of 100,000 of his supporters in Guayaquil threw Correa his political opponents to reiterate the gauntlet down. "The old elite may never govern this country again," he said under a storm of applause in the crowd. Who does he mean by the old elites, all in the country is clear: the representatives of the party system and the "moneyed aristocracy" of Guayaquil. The established parties since their bitter defeat in the elections to the Constituent Assembly still busy licking their wounds. Resolute opposition to it seem, at least for the moment not capable.
threat to Correa and his revolution of the middle class comes from a different direction. Start, there is Jaime Nebot. The popular mayor of the business metropolis of Guayaquil has emerged in recent weeks as a sort of opposition leaders. He railed primarily against the government attempts to curtail local self-government and to make the city less tax money available. Less money in city coffers means less infrastructure and less spending in the social field, concludes Nebot. This konterkariere President Correa's own policy, frozzelte Guayaquil's mayor. In addition, Nebot
was significantly modified by his own party, the Partido Social Cristiano from. After all, the PSC had received issued by the Ecuadorians in the election to the Constituent Assembly rebuffed. With the withdrawals of the PSC attempts Nebot to open up politically and thus make for broader segments of the population of interest. Whether he manages to win outside of Guayaquil a larger fan base and as a competitor for President Correa seriously to establish, at the moment is difficult to assess. An important indicator is a protest march against the policies Correa, Jaime Nebot has to for today called on the residents and entrepreneurs of the coastal region. If he succeeds not to mobilize a sizable number of people, was his attempt to gain nation-wide profile, no more than a flash in the pan.
comment critical of Correa have recently increased again leading business people. You criticize the proposed tax reform at the expense of high income and the freezing of prices for foods such as milk or rice. The combined economic power of the country sits, how is it by chance, in the region around Guayaquil. Their political voice is as I said Jaime Nebot. An alliance of the economy with a can for autonomy for his city and the region struggling politician Nebot provoke a dangerous conflict.
is observed to this date in another Andean country, Bolivia. There is also the wealth in the hands of a few provinces in the lowlands. Their provincial rulers openly threaten to secede from the rest of Bolivia, they should be the afford in the new constitution proposed financial assistance to the poor mountain country must.
"Nachtigall ick Listen traps, the Berlin would say at this point well. If some groups in the Ecuadorian coastal region around Guayaquil secretly pursuing similar goals, the devastating consequences for the currently intact inner peace in Ecuador might have. It is hoped that the Correa's political opponents are smart enough to distinguish - between permissible protest and risky playing with fire.

Comment:

integration in Germany and Ecuador - a
By comparison Axel Jeroma

One issue dominated public debate for days in Germany: the integration of foreigners into society. Or rather, the demand to throw them out of the country, if they come off the rails. The problem of integration, Germany has not exclusive. Also in Ecuador is home to a considerable number of foreigners. How to deal here with this issue? What are the similarities and differences compared to Germany? And the conclusions to be drawn from this? These issues go to our comment of the week.

Who wants to live and work in Ecuador and long term needs, first of a visa. Without going to legally nothing. The entry permit usually gets only one who wants the country to pursue a regulated activity - Such as a company or nonprofit organization. This should ensure that any costs incurred by the State of Ecuador through the residence of the employee. Background of scheme: The government wants to prevent dropouts or windy business people come into the country and at the end of the state are on the bag. Much is expected from the public way, would not. Because the social network in Ecuador has long been linked not so tight as in Germany. More than a universal service in the event of illness does not the state. From a security in the event of unemployment or disability, as in Germany, people can only dream of in Ecuador.

an important difference is also available for law enforcement. In Germany, currently require a number of politicians, the rapid deportation of foreign criminals. That gives the German law expressly ago. A rapid deportation would long for some offenders Europeans in Ecuador. Because the prison conditions are harsh. But the deportation of prisoners is the exception. A prison sentence must be served most fully in Ecuador because between the country and the European Union is no extradition treaty. The number of European immigrants in the prisons of Ecuador is small. This speaks for the tourists and immigrants from Europe and their respect for the laws of their host country.

The key to integration is without doubt the language. Those who can not talk to the people will never fully be in a country home. This applies to Germany as well as in Ecuador. Language schools there are in the Andean country as a penny. Learning the language is left to the immigrants left to themselves. The state would never think to promote the study of foreign language financially so that their successful integration. In addition, there are no national performance assessments in terms of the language. Why should they? The fact is governed by themselves who want to master the everyday life in Ecuador and to the life, needs English, at least basic skills. Without that, it is nowhere more - Not at the bakery on the corner, and certainly not at the office. That is motivation enough to learn the language and understand the culture of the country.

What comes in the integration of foreigners in Ecuador to property, is the openness of the people. One perceives the stranger wants to know something of him, answered his questions, it helps. Open hostility, particularly against European foreigners are foreign to the Ecuadorians. The repugnant nature. Finally, Ecuador itself is a potpourri of different tribes. A stranger is therefore not seen as a threat but as a fellow human being. One whom God has also created and loves, as it says in the Bible. What

the issue of integration is concerned, I mean, specifically can we learn from the Germans a lot of Ecuadorians. On the one hand, there are clear guidelines mentioned in the country: Those who do not the laws, customs and respect the Andean nation can not expect leniency or understanding. Rightly so. But on the other hand, there are also the aforementioned openness to the stranger, the seeker.

It would be nice if they could take two attitudes in Germany Room. They would cool down an overheated debate at a bearable temperature.




************* The message for 17 January 2008

volcano spews fire and ash

The tension surrounding the Tungurahua volcano increases: For days, stepping out of the 5000 meter high volcano lava and ash. Some of the surrounding villages had been evacuated. About 250 hectares of arable land are unusable by the ash fall. The tourist center Baños was wrapped over the weekend by a dense cloud of dust. The volcanologists fear that it will soon be a powerful blast inside the volcano.

food prices rise noticeably

Significant additional expenditure for the daily meal: Food prices in Ecuador have risen noticeably in recent weeks. The pound of pasta, for example, has become more expensive in some supermarkets by up to 50 cents. Because of price increases in the food industry now most meal costs in the day and fast food restaurants 30-50 cents more

economy demands reliability of policies

demanded security for investors : The economy is Ecuador not per se against the policies of President Rafael Correa . It said last week, a senior business representatives the press in Quito . The important thing is that in the country after the new constitution and general elections, political stability following the feeding. Investors need certainty. Otherwise they would move to other countries.

military want to vote

soldiers want to go to the polls: The Ecuadorian military has in the past week, the right to vote for members the armed forces required. An application filed, the military leadership of the country last week, one in Constituent Assembly . In the panel to sit with Luis Hernandez and Gilmar Gutierrez former high-ranking military of the country. They assured their support to the request. The majority party Acuerdo País also signaled willingness to consider the issue favorably.

Noboa loses seat in the Constituent Assembly

presidential candidate Three-time outside before: Álvaro Noboa , one of the main political opponent of Ecuador President Rafael Correa , lost his seat in the Constituent Assembly. The reason for the exclusion: It was not until the end of last week as requested submitted his asset and tax return to the Bureau. All other members had submitted their documents on time. The submission of the declarations were required for carrying out the mandate .


Quito and La Paz risk than venues

talk about games in high altitudes: The South African Football Association Conmebol advice in the next week a major issue for Ecuador and Bolivia. It is about the suggestion of the World Football Association FIFA that World Cup qualifying matches will be allowed in future from 2750 meters only if the player before getting sufficient time for acclimatization. We are talking about at least a week. This demand is due to the busy schedule of the professionals but practically impossible. Therefore seems possible scenario: The South African forces to agree on future qualifying matches unsubscribe 3000 is not more meters. So this would only La Paz out of the race.

sun and rain, alternating

Finally, as always, the views of the weather: sun and rain have alternated in the last week in the Andean highlands . Most of the rainfall has been taken in the evening and night hours. Thus, the outdoor cafes during the day were numerous Guests love who wanted to spend their lunch outside under the umbrellas.

Beloved,
via email come now some requests to the volcano at me. From
screen Achers also DMG I have the green light this info from his blog to post here with me. Hermann wrote:

"With a team of HCJB Global Hands, we visited the area from the Tungurahua volcano. The Tungurahua is located about 130 km south of Quito, and is very active since 1999. In July and August 2006, there were large outbreaks where 6 people were killed.
are especially dangerous to the pyroclastic flows that consist of hot embers, gases and ash clouds and reach a very high speed. One of the lava and debris flows reached the road between Baños and Puyo, which covered up the road up to 10 meters. For two weeks the activity has again increased sharply.
said at a preparatory meeting at the United Nations, the Director of the Geophysical Institute, Hugo Yépez that you currently can not yet assess how the situation is he classified as "critical" to develop in the coming hours and days is.
In a meeting with Civil Defence and the mayor of the tourist resort of Baños at the foot of Tungurahua, one was left in relative and has no evacuation plans, but only short-term measures to move into areas with lower risk.
The residents feel protected by ravines, passing out the possible lava flows at the site.
My colleague Martin Harrison has made our visit a short video in Youtube and found pure "

Policy in Ecuador, between Christmas and New Year only Pause little indulgence. In particular, the Constituent Assembly continues to work intensively on the new constitution of the country. Our comment of the week analyzed Eckhart Wolff, the political situation of the country in early 2008.

The political situation is getting worse. The Constituent Assembly is working. She puts industry on the day. Only the holidays were free. Otherwise, send radio, television and the newspapers report daily from Montecristi. A new center of power is created there. Is governed either in Quito or Guayaquil. Montecristi is the symbol for a new beginning, as then, the revolution Eloy Alfaro 100 years ago that catapulted the country into a new phase.

And the President is very clever in front of it. He is on the meetings of the Constituent Assembly, only sporadically present, and seems to take no effect. But of course, breaks the information between Montecristi and the President at any time. Are faithful to his acolytes. Correa has a large majority and can implement all that he or his allies want. The President travels tirelessly around the home and abroad, is everywhere. He would not lose the connection to the people and recognize feelings in time.

also sent the tactics of the government laws. Since a 10% tax on private school fees will be announced facilities - there are widespread protests. Then the project is abandoned. What remains is the higher taxation of the rich. The maximum tax rate at $ 80,000 and more years of income is 35 percent. The lower income groups are tax exempt. That brings the consent of the majority of the people. In addition the tax office more powers and tax evaders can immediately send to prison. Who would be there in a high-corruption country not on the part of government?

Another bone of contention of the tax reform are the 25% tax provision of citizens. I can define this country as a taxpayer up to 25%, will go where the tax. Favored in the first place, the cities and municipalities. Since the citizens have seen the progress and enjoyed. A centralized government that is a thorn in the side. The mayors have that opposes the Government together. They want to prevent that they get less tax revenue. President Correa is then invited to a Christmas dinner of the mayor to Quito. Results: On some points he made them the control of self-determination. Thus, the joint protest of the local authorities has broken down.

Furthermore, Montecristi become a new place of pilgrimage. Every day, thousands flock there to the government to declare their consent. However, opponents are excluded. So wanted the mayor of Guayaquil in a protest march to go there. At the provincial border he was stopped. "He could walk alone to come to Montecristi," was the answer the police. This indicates that the President of both the military and police strength has probably 100% behind him. Their wages were increased as well as that of the poor. At the turn of the minimum wages increased by 41.6%. Ordinary workers get 30 dollars more. And all this is by presidential decree, because a parliament is not functioning for more than a year. Similarly, the rates of banks were lowered imposed from above. This is to facilitate loans.

Ecuador is in a strange situation: In principle, there is a permanent campaign of the president. Duration manifestations of his followers are wanted. The crowds are enthusiastic. There are also gifts such as Tax relief. Conflicts, such as difficulties in oil-producing regions of the President governs with military and police. Since not even allowed to talk at the Constituent Assembly. Increasingly, however, the actions of the President of the Constituent Assembly will be confirmed and legalized it. The opposition is challenged with maximum ideas. Then there is for something, and enforces its direction before the formation of large resistance can. This is a very clever policy. Correa is surely the most skillful politician of recent decades. Nevertheless, most commentators see Ecuador in its policy a few characteristics of an incipient dictatorship.

COMMENT - Dr. Eckhart Wolff

The year 2008 will bring a new Ecuador constitution. The hope of the people that finally rest stop off in politics are great. Many want more justice and a little more prosperous. Our comment of the week takes Eckhart Wolff comments on some upcoming changes.

What will the new year in Ecuador? I think a lot of changes. The Constituent Assembly has included in the coastal town of Montecristi work. The individual committees have set their schedules by May 2008. Then everything should be signed and sealed. By the middle of next year, is the political Normal life hopefully. Then the president, the country will have ruled 1 ½ years without a parliament by decree, here and there with choice gifts. But the direction is clear. There is more order and justice prevail. This becomes clear in several decisions that occur in some cases long before mid-2008.

Over the past nearly 10 years, the tax office system was developed. Before that, it would transition and to purchase goods without a receipt. Then they were 10% cheaper. They saved simply the VAT. What there was an outcry when the first stores for tax evasion were closed for a week, with big plastic bands bonded with the inscription:!. This business has defrauded the state and the IRS "Today you can still so much want to save the VAT, the business owner can be sure no longer Many professional groups provide good on their revenue and so bubbled the..

government revenues. Suddenly, and money for road building or as other public projects.

More order reflected in the fact that is required from March 2008, every car owner, car insurance for at least $ 5,000 , -. The finish will be controlled by the police, a claim the protection of at least $. 5,000 - sounds little, but it's a start. Hopefully there is therefore less run driver after an accident. In addition, each license holder will next year take a theory test. Since three years the ride has improved significantly since it is a duty, as a newcomer to make a three-week driving course with exam. Now you want to shirk all the professional drivers again to school, what they do not like him though.

planned for many measures, the state needs more money. So shall now the taxes on tobacco and alcohol are approximately doubled. The inheritance tax is also higher, particularly for the rich. Particularly controversial, the 10% tax on education and tuition fees of private institutions on a total price of $ 5,000, - per year. This will also be asked to pay the rich. But in this case, it is also true arms, for each such school is committed 10% of

to support students from their own resources.

These are just some of the details known so far. More important, the new structure of the state will be. Who supervises the banks? The President now? What scope is given to the private initiative? The direction is predictable. The state will back stronger. Private Institutions will have to pay. All in all, but probably more order in the country, but also more control and enforcement. Whether this corruption is stopped, is doubtful. Most of the funds are in fact embezzled from public contracts, such as for roads. Since the state run the millions out of his pocket. I do not think it is possible the Constituent Assembly to put this swamp dry.
