'Cat Poo' Coffee as the Strangest Fundraiser I've ever heard of...
London Store Sells ‘Cat Poo’ Coffee for Charity
In London, a unique blend of "cat poo" espresso is selling for £50 a cup, with all proceeds going to charity.
By Kathryn Hawkins. Posted on April 14 2008 Filed under General Interest | Non-Profits | Weird |
We’re no strangers to strange food. We’ve eaten haggis, that famous Scottish dish featuring sheep intestines, with a side of blood pudding, and have to say, it really wasn’t bad. We’ve done calamari, sushi, and all other manner of exotic sea creature; the worm in the tequila bottle; and even a chocolate-covered ant or two. But no matter what tests we’ve put our tastebuds up against, nothing quite compares to a cup of Caffe Raro.
Not sure what that is? Let us enlighten you: It’s a type of coffee created from beans that have seen the inside of the feline-like Asian palm civet’s stomach - and gone out the other end. In essence: cat poo.
To us, Caffe Raro sounds more like a Fear Factor dare than a drink you’d ever voluntarily order, but shockingly, customers at the Peter Jones department store in London are paying £50 each (about $100) for a cup of the stuff. Apparently, it’s one of the most delicious coffee blends around: The civets are known to hand-pick the best coffee berries for their meals, and of course, the dung residue is washed away before the beans are roasted.
“These rare coffees have been slowly hand roasted for around 12 minutes to ensure that we maximise the potential of each coffee,” David Cooper, who created the Caffe Raro blend, told BBC News. “The final roast color is quite dark to ensure that the espresso is perfect for a smooth latte or cappuccino.”
Customers are lining up to try the exotic espresso, and all proceeds from the drink sales will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, a large nonprofit group in England. So, if you can get past the ick factor, it might be worth trying a cup of cat poo coffee if you happen to be in the area. After all, it’s for a good cause.

Time for an update!
Hi everyone!
We have 14 little noses at the annex. no new kids (yet). we thought Skaya might go home Sunday but the adopter canceled when the wife freaked bc she thought the 'work' would all fall on her... bleh. lisa is meeting another adopter Tuesday! She's also meeting with a new volunteer, Diane, sometime this week. so if you see them, say hi! Crystal is now an official volunteer with us! Yay, Crystal! Everyone introduce yourselves.And a special giant super scoop of thanks to Nancy Matson who, when two vols suddenly couldn't make it in last Sunday, saved the bunnies by doing all the cleaning herself. Nancy, you couldn't have timed it better. : ) Noserubs. Inge's been at a photo workshop in Mendicino all week. She'll be back in LaLa Land Tuesday. We want to see her dramatic new photos...she took Ailin with her too! Traveling bunny!Jean Lee has finished our 2010 calendar! pdf of proofs attached. so cute... it'll be available at our CafePress store: http://www.cafepress.com/rabbitmatch Aaaaand it's Lulu's birthday this week!Yeah, I need everyone's birthday. Please send (or I'll nag you). ; ) Big hug!alindaThe truth is out...a**kissing is best.
Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. (It also made me Laugh Out Loud.)
Remember, this is a strictly mathematical viewpoint.
It goes like this:What Makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
What makes up 100% in life?Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Zis represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23 +15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= 96%But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with
mathematical certainty, that while Hardwork and
Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
it's the Ass kissing that will put you over the top.
and it's mathematically proved!

A Month of Gouda -- IMOM calendar contest needs a bunniy on its calendar!
Yes, you too can have a month of Gouda! IMOM hosts an annual photo contest to pick 12 calendar-worthy pets. Most proceeds go to IMOM, an organization that helps owners with special-needs animals. The first place winner will received 25% of proceeds to their charity of choice, in Gouda’s case Rabbit Match. Out of the currently 150+ animal entries, Gouda is the only rabbit. How this is even possible I don’t know, since on an obsessed-about-my-pet scale of 1-10 (1 being Cruella de Vil, 10 being the crazy cat lady on everyone’s block), rabbit owners usually average a 7. This is a scientific fact.
It’s important for the public to be aware that there ARE more domesticated animal companion options than cats and dogs, and there is a very big need for rabbit adopters in the LA area. If Gouda were included in the calendar as one of the top 12 winners, the blurb accompanying his picture would give exposure to Rabbit Match’s work, and hopefully educate and encourage people to adopt a bun of their own.
You can start voting TOMORROW for #64 Gouda and Rabbit Match, at IMOM.org.
Photo taken by Gouda’s ever-loving Auntie.
Let's all vote for Gouda!
a movie worth seeing...
Excerpt from Micheal Moore's interview with Naomi Klein (The Shock Doctrine):
MM: Well, people want to believe that it's not the economic system that's at the core of all this. You know, it's just a few bad eggs. But the fact of the matter is that, as I said to Jay [Leno], capitalism is the legalization of this greed. Greed has been with human beings forever. We have a number of things in our species that you would call the dark side, and greed is one of them. If you don't put certain structures in place or restrictions on those parts of our being that come from that dark place, then it gets out of control. Capitalism does the opposite of that. It not only doesn't really put any structure or restriction on it. It encourages it, it rewards it... <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://www.naomiklein.org/articles/2009/09/americas-teacher" >naomiklein.org</a></div> If you can, go see it.Wednesday, September 30, 2009

we used to have such tablets in our days at school, this is called a "takhti" in urdu and other languages in pakistan, it is a wooden slate, and a clay (gachni) is used to cover it, the student uses a "qalam" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qalam) dipped in black india ink kept in a spill proof ink pot (dawa'at), to write on the takhti, once finished, the takhti is washed in the nearest water channel, and the clay is re-applied and left to dry for the next round of writing!the quranic inscription on the board says, "we fed them in hunger, and made them safe from fear"
Thank you, Eric. Your art is truly beautiful.

International Women’s Day
by Kathryn Hadley
This Sunday, March 8th, International Women’s Day will be celebrated in countries across the world. Here is a brief history of the day and of the fight for women’s rights.
The British MP John Stuart Mill was the first Member of Parliament to call for women’s right to vote, in 1869.
On September 19th 1893, New Zealand was the first country in the world to grant women the right to vote.
In 1910, at the second International Conference of Working Women held in Copenhagen, a woman called Clara Zetkin, the leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany suggested, for the first time, the idea of an International Women’s Day. The conference was attended by over 100 women, from 17 different countries, representing unions, socialist parties, working women’s clubs, and the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. The proposal was approved almost unanimously.
The following year, on March 19th, 1911, the very first International Women’s Day was celebrated in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The date of March 19th is believed to have been originally chosen because on March 19th, 1848, in the context of the 1848 revolution, the Prussian king recognised for the first time the threat of the proletariat uprising and issued a series of promises, including the promise to introduce the vote for women (which he incidentally did not keep). The success of the first International Women’s Day, marked by over a million people, exceeded expectations with numerous meetings organised in small towns and villages across the four countries.
In 1913, International Women’s Day was transferred to March 8th.
International Women’s Day was granted official recognition by the United Nations in 1975 and was taken up by many governments.
March 8th is now a national holiday in Russia, China, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.
A series of events are being organised in the UK throughout March to celebrate International Women’s Day and the economic, political and social achievements’ of women. Here is a small selection…

Update on ancient rabbit's head statue...
China denies art auction bid role
The Chinese government has denied any involvement in bidding at an auction in Paris for two bronze artworks which it says were looted from Beijing in 1860.
A Chinese collector bought the heads of a rabbit and a rat for 15m euros ($19m; £13m) each, when fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent's collection was sold.
The buyer, Cai Mingchao, has refused to pay, as an "act of patriotism".
The official Xinhua news agency quoted an official as saying what Mr Cai had done was entirely a personal action.
"The State Administration of Cultural Heritage had nothing to do with it," said the head of the cultural bureau, Shan Jixiang.
He said his bureau did not know the identity of the bidder until Cai Mingchao, an adviser to China's National Treasures Fund that seeks to retrieve looted treasures, revealed himself.
Chinese bidder explains why he is not paying
The two bronzes were auctioned by Christie's in Paris last week as part of the estate of the late French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner.
They were originally taken by British and French troops from the imperial Summer Palace in October 1860, towards the end of the Second Opium War.
China had tried to stop the sale, and later threatened the business of Christie's in China for having gone ahead.
But Christie's said the sale was legal, a position backed by a French court.
Mr Cai said his actions were to "stress that this money should not be paid".
