Monday Blog Treats

Greetings! The Blog Treats are here! What’s happening in the world and blogosphere (greater than the world!)? Lots of politics, art (mostly arts because that’s my scene), and people talking about themselves (including me talking about myself). Some of it good, some of it bad, so I posted just the ones that I liked or thought worthy of your time. Enjoy!


Water shortages are a sad reality of these days--TT is thirsty! However, I, for one, am excited about WASA hiring Israelis--they have be best desalinization technology around, so they should be able to actually do something with these projects.


A must read if you care about politics, corruption and crime. It’s rare these times to see posts in our blogs or newspapers that are concise, yet cover so many hot political issues effectively and, as I see it, objectively too.


This article is practically kissing the ground Tobago Jack walks on...I personally want to avoid putting famously violent people in power. On a superficial note, his /awesome physique/ as described in the article could stand to hire a decent tailor...


Rowley makes a comeback to the PNM team...it will be interesting to hear what he has to say when he speaks for the first time (in the election campaign that is. I hear he's got no speech problems otherwise!) on Thursday.


More politics...with some pretty vitriolic commentators...apparently, not all is well in the UNC/COP/TOP/WTF house...


This story seems a bit skewed to me. I think there's more evidence that it's the other way around...disunity abounds...such as the protests against the COP. Seems like Kamla and crew are picking favorites--without much regard to who's actually the best for the job.


and finally, something not as political. TT students are making progress in the film world.


"The Concept of Mobility" Kinetic art exhibit...should be fun for all ages! Go see it quickly, cuz its on the move!


Cute little old lady. Looks like CEPEP is getting some well-deserved funding.


As usual, the treats are not complete without a bunch of cool recipes! This time we have an interesting cheese sticks recipe which I actually tried and was awesome! And then we also have a well-thought version of chicken soup, a classic!


I totally agree with BCPires, Green Day is awesome! Their 21st century breakdown album is a breath of fresh air in the world of rock. My favorite is know your enemy!


By the way, make sure to stop by GWTO for the music reviews project is still on! Check out a bunch of music videos and the cool stories behind why people love them, and best of all, contribute your own music and reviews!


Greece is another one of those countries that has just had a rough economic decade--seems like everything is going poorly for them. Hope the EU holds it together. Maybe we can help them out in exchange for gyros and dolma?


Twenty eight not-so-hard ways to make your footprint lighter on your-and indeed everyone’s- environment. It’s actually good to find that I’m already following many of these ways :)
