			<description><![CDATA[A friend made this claim today and I thought he was kidding...apparently not.  <br />
<br />
State Department records detail that the CIA did pay the Dalai Lama's organisation of Tibetan exiles about $1.7 million a year  from 1959 until between 1969-72.  The money was to fund the anti-China insurgency (that eventually failed) and was discontinued after Nixon normalised relations with the PRC in '72.<br />
<br />
There are claims that the Dalai Lama himself was also paid an annual stipend of $180k!  Wow!  The Dalai Lama has refused to comment on the CIA involvement, but the Tibetan Guerilla group, <a href="http://www.chushigangdruk.org/mustang.htm">chushigangdruk</a>, run by his brother, Gyalo Thondup, confirm that they received aid and military training for their activities in Camp Hale Colorado.<br />
<br />
Here's the <a href="http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F3061EF73E5C0C718CDDA90994D0494D81&amp;n=Top/Reference/Times Topics/People/D/Dalai Lama">NYTimes</a> article that was one of many journals to report the claim.<br />
<br />
This is quite shocking and difficult to accept.  The Dalai Lama is touring Australia at the moment, speaking to various politicians, and the Prime Minister is being pressured to meet with him.<br />
<br />
 I'm not sure what I think of him anymore....<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Is it just me, or are there a lot more 2nd-chance, resubs on the design pages.  I thought once you submitted a design and it was declined, that was it.  No second chances for any alterations based on feedback.  The feedback on the design page is to help Threadless choose winners, not to give the artist some different ideas for resubmitting the same basic design.<br />
<br />
If you want feedback on the design PROCESS, submit your design to the critique section of the blogs.  When you think it's ready, move it up to the big leagues.]]></description>
