Fresh Wave Odor-Eliminating Solutions by OMI Industries
From bilges to gear bags, every racer could find a place in need of Fresh Wave. "Gear Up" from our March 17, 2010, /SW eNewsletter/
Pearl Packs (left), Multi-Purpose Additive (right), and Crystal Gel use
natural ingredients to combat supernatural smells.
Pearl Packs (left), Multi-Purpose Additive (right), and Crystal Gel use natural ingredients to combat supernatural smells.
OMI Industries sent us three Fresh Wave products: Pearl Packs, individual packets of odor-eliminating crystals; Multi-Purpose Additive, a detergent you use in the washing machine and for general cleaning purposes; and Crystal Gel, a jar of the aforementioned crystals that you open and leave in a particularly stinky place. All of these products are non-toxic, deriving their funk-fighting power from natural ingredients like lime, pine needles, aniseed, clove, and cedar. OMI Industries also supplies odor-eliminating products to solid waste facilities and asphalt factories, so you know this stuff is the real deal.
To gauge Fresh Wave's effectiveness for the consumer market-me-I conducted my own pseudo-scientific tests. Before a recent sailing trip, I tossed a Pearl Pack into my duffel. As always seems to happen at the end of a trip, I had no choice but to cram a heap of wet clothes into my bag. When I got home and unzipped the bag, I was expecting the olfactory attack of rank laundry. The Pearl Pack succeeded in taming the stench, but the clothes were beginning to mildew.
That's where the Multi-Purpose Additive came into play. I added some to the wash, and the clothes came out smelling fresh. You can add this liquid to any cleaning solution; I'd be curious to see how it works in a boat's bilge. I also have big plans for the Crystal Gel, which packs the highest concentration of odor-eliminating formula. Below decks on Sailing World's Albin 26 AO, there's a musty scent, probably the result of soggy cushions and poor ventilation. I'm going to unleash the jar of Crystal Gel down there and see what transpires.
While Fresh Wave effectively suppressed the offensive fumes of putrefying sailing clothes, it did not pass the ultimate test-hockey gear, the source of history's most traumatizing malodors. I left a Pearl Pack in my hockey bag a week ago and, this morning, checked the stank level. It was as foul as ever. Maybe I should have added a few more Pearl Packs. Maybe I should wash my hockey gear. After all, odor-elimination products-no matter how effective-only beat around the bush: If you really want something to smell nice, clean it.
Pearl Packs, $15.95
8-ounce Crystal Gel, $8.95
32-ounce Multi-Purpose Additive, $15.95

For many of us, it's just not Easter without a chocolate bunny in our basket. With all the options in the supermarket, we wanted to find a hollow milk chocolate bunny that would satisfy both kids and adults-without breaking the bank (this isn't the year for $100 mail-order bunnies). We purchased eight brands, with and without foil. All are available at drugstores or supermarkets, with the exception of Godiva (sold online or at its boutique stores). Prices ranged from $3.29 to $23.50.
Related: The Epicurious Guide to Easter
Methodology: In the blind taste test, nine judges compared the appearance, flavor, and consistency of the bunnies. We then ranked them according to the standard Epicurious four-fork rating system. One Epi Top Pick emerged from the group, earning a three-and-a-half-fork rating.
Best Overall
Epi Top Pick: Lindt Milk Chocolate Bunny
($4.50 per 3.5 oz. bunny)
Pros: Dressed in intensely yellow-gold foil and a red bow, this bunny is as elegant as it is tasty. One tester likened its pleasant scent to sweetened condensed milk. Its flavor is "delightfully creamy!" as one taster put it. "It just melts in your mouth," commented another editor. "Tastes like good European chocolate with a subtle accent of caramel," stated another. It just so happens that it's also the least expensive of the winners.
Cons: None. We can only say good things.
First Runner-Up: Hershey's Bliss Milk Chocolate Bunny
($4.99 per 4 oz. bunny)
Pros: "This cute bunny with its sassy eyelashes reminds me of a Peter Cottontail illustration," said one editor. Encased in a detailed burnished yellow layer of foil, this chocolate is the darkest of them all. "As a dark chocolate lover, I appreciate the hint of semisweetness that lingers with each bite," stated one taster.
Cons: One editor described it as "spongy," while another disliked its "chewy" texture.
See also: Easter Baskets for Food Lovers
Second Runner-Up: Godiva Bertie the Milk Chocolate Bunny
($25.00 per 9 oz. bunny)
Pros: This bunny got high marks for presentation. "I am drawn to its simple and classic look," commented one tester. Packaged in a decorative pastel box, this creamy, rich, and cocoa flavored bunny had editors pleased.
Cons: Overly sweet aftertaste. The most expensive of all.

WWE Worst of the Week: Ryback, Orton and More
By Andy Soucek ,
The Road to WrestleMania is usually the best time all year to be a wrestling fan.
WWE usually cuts out all the riff-raff, the tomfoolery, the time wasting segments and just gets down to business.
Notice I said "usually."
This year's TV has been strangely lousy lately. The build to the big show has been odd.
For example, The Rock followed up his great promo exchange with Cena by beating up John Laurinaitis on SmackDown. Not quite sure how that sells 'Mania, but that moment seems to sum up pretty well the lack of urgency we see going on now.
If we weren't subjected to three-hour Raws every week, would they pick up the pace a bit? Would things feel fresher? Would Fandango's entrance be so long?
There's no time to answer those questions. Because right now is the time to celebrate WWE's dumbest decisions, their channel-changing choices and their absolute worst of the week!
Every week I feel compelled to write about the floundering careers of our US and Intercontinental Champions Wade Barrett and Antonio Cesaro.
This week Cesaro jobbed three times. Oh yeah, and he won once by count-out, only to be locked in the cross arm-breaker for his efforts.
Fun/depressing fact: Antonio Cesaro has lost 21 televised singles matches since winning the US Title. Compare this to Kane and Daniel Bryan, who have lost four times in traditional tag matches since they won the straps.
What is the point of the title when the US Champ loses three times in one week? The question is perhaps a paradox that has no meaning.
Cesaro has also now been given a lousy yodeling gimmick in an attempt to draw heat. Long gone are the days of him getting heat for actually winning his matches.
It was hard for WWE to make Cesaro's gimmick feel more dated, but with the yodeling, they found a way. Months ago, who would have guessed that Cesaro would have been such a non-factor by the time that WrestleMania rolled around?
Oh, and how did Barrett fare? Well, he also lost twice this week. Lucky for him, it was only his 12th singles loss as the Intercontinental champion.
Handicap matches are the worst.
There is just no scientific evidence out there (that I know of) that proves that handicap matches help out the company in any way.
The Usos took their 2-on-1 loss against Mark Henry on Raw, and later that night Ryback ate the 3MB by himself.
Can't we just go back to the good old days when Mark Henry would rather dance with the Usos than beat them up?
WWE just does not have the roster depth to do handicap matches. It would be one thing if the losers were no-name jobbers, but you can't have the same act lose a 3-on-1 match and then compete in a traditional tag match the next show and expect anyone to care.
There are six-and-a-half hours of first-run TV every week for WWE to fill. They just don't have enough wrestlers for so much TV time. It makes things worse when 90 percent of their roster is portrayed as losers and clowns.
Another fun/depressing fact: Last week, the 3MB took part in SmackDown's main event (for some reason) against The Big Show, Sheamus and Randy Orton. They lasted five minutes. Against Ryback this week they lasted four.
Shaking hands, bro hugs and chanting for The Brogue—these are traits of the new Big Show headed into WrestleMania.
This feud just doesn't make sense.
Not long ago, The Shield defeated John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus. This should have been huge. They defeated the three top babyfaces in the WWE.
Afterwards, though, Cena didn't seem to care, Ryback went onto Mark Henry and Sheamus was left by his lonesome.
To fight The Shield again, he had to assemble a new team, then he traded in for worse teammates.
But the whole question of this current feud is whether Sheamus, Orton and Show can work together. That has already been answered multiple times as they ran off The Shield on Monday and beat them up on Friday.
In fact, this group has gotten the better of The Shield in nearly every encounter. So instead of The Shield being perceived as huge threats for beating the WWE's best, they've been held down to take on their second best in a third rate feud.
Fun/depressing fact: At Survivor Series, Sheamus hit The Big Show with a chair 31 times. Apparently that is water under the bridge now.
Has your boss ever literally kicked you in the balls?
Wade Barrett has, for doing absolutely nothing, and this makes him a bad guy. We are supposed to cheer the boss man who roshamboed his own employee for just standing there.
How much better off would WWE be a year from now had Triple H been involved in a lengthy feud with Wade Barrett that was going to be settled at WrestleMania instead of Hunter/Lesnar: The Sequel.
This recalls back to Hunter's return from injury a couple years ago to fight The Undertaker.
At the time, it was a heel Sheamus who put Hunter out of action. The logical feud would have been another Sheamus/Hunter match, but instead, all Sheamus got was a kick in the junk, a Pedigree from The Boss and a dark march at WrestleMania.
It makes you wonder if Hunter kicks all his employees in the privates when he gets mad.
His secretary brings him the wrong coffee? Boom, nut shot. The lasagna in the WWE cafeteria is a little cold? Boom, cajones kick to the cook. The printer isn't working right? Better believe that printer is getting kicked where the sun don't shine.
You'd have to think there's some sort of class-action lawsuit being readied by his employees that will relieve Hunter of his management status. One can hope.
Fun/depressing fact: Getting kicked in the balls is quite painful.
What the heck?
This is how WWE wanted to promote Ryback vs. Mark Henry? A weightlifting competition?
Not only that, but we had to watch them lift the weights over 100 times?
Couldn't they have just made up some ridiculous number and then lifted the bar once to say that was the new world record? Was 106 times really necessary?
Last week, WWE idiotically had Ryback knock down Henry, so they had to do something else to keep the feud hot. Instead, they cooled it down even more.
In the end, weightlifting competitions (along with the dreaded arm-wrestling competition segments) are just something that don't need to exist in modern-day wrestling.
Fun/depressing fact: "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry finished 10th at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics for weightlifting. Aleksandr Kurlovich finished 1st.
Feed me Kurlovich?
Well, that's all for this week. Agree? Disagree? What was your worst of the week? Sound off below and have a Happy Easter!

Going Expat Pt. 2: The Pros and Cons of Moving Abroad
I recently wrote a post about going expat. I recently gave birth to my first child living here in Chile with my Chilean partner. It's magical, and it's hard. My post mostly focused on the positive side of things, the how-to's, etc. Today, I took a little photo tour of my friends' children's Halloween costumes and the nostalgia for the States sent my mind into the land of expat doubt. So, I've set out to create a list to share with you of the pros and cons of going expat and starting or taking a family abroad.

Had to drop these two remixes into a zip for all yall. If you've been to one of my live sets then you'll definitely recognize these.

NonEpic - misc.[09/10]
The elusive NonEpic just released a little tape of miscellaneous beats! All pretty unofficial as it seems... dude is working on an EP (which I'm sure will turn some heads) and these apparently didn't make the cut--a judgment call I would disagree with on a few of these gems (rest in beats, looptbutta, etc.)! But visit his bandcamp and hear for yourself. If I was you, I'd do my ears a favor and cop cloud rum as well. Shit is serious.
Shlomoshun Vinyl Preorder!
The release date is 5/24, and you can preorder it right now over at the wonderful Cargo Records.
Show support! Tell your friends! Tell your pets! Even if youre gonna buy it just to melt it and shit on the ashes, I still appreciate the support. More news on US availability soon.

Troll 2 & LandLord
So the video below just started me on a tangent of awesome shitty movie clips... thought I'd share one more and you can take it from there if you want more.
But while I'm at it I thought that the LandLord EP could use a touch of clarification. Just to set the record, LandLord is Ground Is Lava x Weary. You may remember the track Animal posted a while back, which is theeeee shit. Well this is the full EP, including Animal, and it's also the shit. So get it and listen to it a lot. Now you know.

Lil B and the Based Generation
As I dig deeper into the realm of Lil B, the more interested i become.
20 year old Brandon McCartney, aka Lil B from The Pack, has created 100 myspace profiles for himself, each showcasing a few songs that can go from the regular post hyphy pack beats into completely off kilter spoken word rants over ambient music. They are all numbered. Here is a link to profile number 97.
He has just published his first book "Takin' Over," written in the form of text messages and emails to his fans. The book is about "being BASED and POSITIVE and SHREDDING old concepts that rap music has to be about violence and anger."
You can dowload his 'secret' tape right here, titled "Paint." It's a 100% ambient project with a lot of spoken word and singing. 'Released' January of this year.
If you visit his own social networking site, Bangkadang.com, you can see how much of an artist this dude really is. Some serious internet age fine art shit. No joke.
The following video may seem like some radio shit, but listen to what dude is saying. If this ever gets radio play, that will be a positive day for pop rap.
Would love to hear thoughts on this. So leave comments if you got something to say.

"The internet really is an amazing tool. Collaborations between artists from continent to continent is only a mouse click and file transfer away. This seems to be the case for Indigo Pyramid (Infinite Potentials, Billion Dollar Quartet, Shlohmo, 0., Elan,10thLetter and Nigel One), a collaborative effort by a group of folks planted in different parts of the world. The end result is a mix of Electronic, Jazz, Brokenbeat, and Hip Hop. Download their free album after the drop and give it a listen."-via Blind I

Eskamon = Eskmo x Amon Tobin
This came via Exclaim News:
"Electronic fans who drool at the mere thought of new studio recordings by electro experimentalists Eskmo and Amon Tobin had best go grab a towel. The duo are working together on a project they've dubbed Eskamon, and they've released the first single, "Fine Objects," as a taster for what will hopefully become a full-length.
The song is, according to a press release, "the result of the pair's unique take on sonic exploration and the manipulation of field recordings. From the onset, the two went out with a recorder, gathering sounds from around the house, yard and studio. Material recorded out of the studio included sounds from a parking garage elevator, a broken harp and the droning tones from a discarded piano. These were combined with more home-centric sounds to form the central theme to the song."
There is no word yet on whether the duo are in the midst of creating an LP or which of the duo's many affiliate labels might release it, but "Fine Objects" comes courtesy of Eskmo's Ancestor Media imprint."
You can hear the track below:
"All my hoes goto the beauty parlor, I bought my mom a house today I buy my auntie one tomorrow"
"Im on my way to see my P.O. I aint talking bout probation office
talking bout my P.O. Box they just me 3 million dollars"

Teebs & Jackhigh - The Tropics EP
So I just received a press release for Svetlana Industries newest release, the long awaited Teebs & Jackhigh EP, The Tropics. So now I'm blogging about it like a bitch.
Just joshin. This album is beautiful, has beautiful artwork (Teeeebs), and has a limited edition (25 only!) of beautiful t-shirts to go with the release. This shit drops TOMORROW (4/5/10), so swoooop it up when it does. You will definitely not regret it.
Free sample:
This is the first major release from Teebs and also from Jackhigh. Here's a little bit of what Svetlana Industries has to say about this collaboration:
Svetlana Industries is proud to announce their second release, SVET002.
This release is something quite different and something quite special. The Tropics EP is a seven track mini album, the product of an 18 month collaboration between LA based beatmaker Teebs and UK producer Jackhigh, and is already attracting serious praise from some esteemed figures.
... The record is also a physical symbol of the origin of the beats scene as a possibly the first truly internationalonline music scene, not based around a club or a record shop or a neighbourhood but of a network of pioneersfrom across the world.
... As Teebs remembers it, Jackhigh put a snippet of a tune he liked on Myspace and Teebs asked him to send it over. "I flipped it, sent it back. He added strings, sent it back to me again. I flipped it again" And so it continued, in a slow organic way, loops becoming processed and degraded and altered and added to, and tracks slowly emerging.
... The resulting tracks are musical archaeology: a bit of distortion that crept in there, a digital blip here, becomes encoded, processed, incorporated into the tune. What's remarkable is how coherent the whole record actually sounds, given the lengthy long-distance process and the fact that to this day Teebs & Jackhigh have never met.
...The artwork features Teebs distinctive abstract painting style which is increasingly in demand – he's just finished some album cover commissions and his first large-scale exhibition. He often uses the technique of painting on top of vintage record sleeves he picks up, and as part of the release we'll putting out an ultra limited edition of 25 unique hand painted sleeves by Teebs which will be available directly from us. We'll also produce a limited run of 25 of our high quality undyed cotton made in Serbia Svetlana t shirts based on Teebs' design.
This is the start of big things for both artists: Teebs will release an album on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label later this year, while Jackhigh has signed projects to both Rush Hour and Ghostly International in addition to Svetlana. Still early into 2010 The Tropics EP is a very different record and a sign of things to come: fresh, organic, mature, holistic, unified, and totally next level.
svetlana industries,
teebs and jackhigh,

Publisher's Description
From hanynet.com:
WaterRoof is a firewall management frontend with bandwidth tuning, NAT setup, port redirection, dynamic rules tracking, predefined rule sets, wizard, logs, statistics and other features. With WaterRoof you can set up the IPFW built-in firewall easily and quickly. With the NAT Setup feature you can fine-tune your internet sharing for the home LAN, or you can also set up a full-featured dual-homed firewall for your network. Rules and network option can be stored and loaded at boot time. WaterRoof is only a frontend so it makes use of system tools: this means that when you have finished configuring/testing your firewall, you can safely delete WaterRoof from your system, without loosing your rules. Bandwidth settings, firewall rules, NAT rules, forwarding, logging and other options will be preserved and activated at boot using launchd, following Apple guidelines. This means that WaterRoof is quite safe because it does not install any strange kernel extension or background daemon. You can also download and check WaterRoof source code, it's open. WaterRoof can be used to learn how ipfw works: you can use predefined rule sets to test firewall behaviour, or you can use the wizard to start from scratch with a step-by-step configuration. But WaterRoof can also be used to deeply configure a ipfw firewall/router, using every ipfw option including qos (dummynet queues). English documentation included. Source code available at my web site. WaterRoof is freeware and open-source.
What's new in this version:
- full OS X 10.8 support
- interface with bigger fonts
- improved network interfaces list
- fixed logs statistics for OS X 10.8

"Easy way to get access to firewall configuration."
Version: WaterRoof 3.8
Easy to use (after learning what it's doing and what YOU are doing); it can do a really great work. I've no server, so nothing tested about these.
Hard learning curve, it's dangerous to perform experiments without a real knowledge of what's will happen. But it MUST be so, power requires responsibility.
The right way to set things in deep without Terminal. Powerful, obviously requires learning and understanding. Very good

Detroit is a symbol of the old economy's decline. It's not just the derelict center; the metropolitan area as a whole lost population between 2000 and 2010, the worst performance among major cities. Atlanta, by contrast, epitomizes the rise of the Sun Belt; it gained more than 1 million people over the same period, roughly matching the performance of Dallas and Houston without the extra boost from oil.

In the fall of 1995, as a staff writer at Fortune magazine, I wrote a story about the mass litigation surrounding silicone breast implants. Plaintiffs' lawyers had filed thousands of cases against Dow Corning, accusing it of selling a product - the silicone used in implants - that caused autoimmune diseases. Fearful that the litigation could put it out of business, Dow Corning filed for bankruptcy protection.

A man buys a knife in a Beijing supermarket and randomly attacks customers with it, including a baby; another steals a knife from a roadside snack bar and starts attacking passersby; a third gets into an argument with a woman, picks her 2-year-old girl out of her stroller and smashes her baby to the ground, killing her.
Every so often you read a news article so revealing that it triggers this thought: I wonder if we'll look back on that story in five years and say, "We should have seen this coming. That story was the warning sign."

Sure. I'm assuming you're using some kind of conditional statement, like what was stated above. Instead of using is_home()
, just use is_page(), which should be able to be written as is_page('Home')
(If not, you may have to replace 'home'
with the page id, without the tickmarks).
<?php if (function_exists(s3slider_show())) && is_page('Home') ) { s3slider_show(); } ?>

I don't know Lolo Jones as a person, but if I had to judge her by basing it off what I have seen from Twitter and other sources, I would say that she's one comment away from being regarded as a terrible person. And guess what happened? She may have made that mistake; this time by saying something completely out-of-line to former Rutgers player Eric LeGrand who suffered an injury during his collegiate days that forced him to be in a wheel chair.
Get Checked for a concussion. Clearly, u've been hit in the head…Cos u arnt beating a track athlete RT @ericlegrand52: want to race me?
— Lolo Jones (@lolojones) October 3, 2012
Yes it was an accident, but some background information should have been done. Just by looking at LeGrand's twitter profile photo, you can see that he is in a wheel chair.
We all make mistakes as human beings, but Lolo has a history of saying a couple things that are presented as "out-of-line". We don't know Lolo personally, but mistakes like this simply can't happen. She seems apologetic after the fact when a informs her that Eric is quadriplegic:
No, dnt know. sry dont know every football player. He challenged me 2 a race & I responded RT @finae25: u know he's a quadrapalegic now?
— Lolo Jones (@lolojones) October 3, 2012
Great I'm gonna get murdered for that tweet. When I had no clue who that dude was.Just responding to any athlete who challenges me to a race
— Lolo Jones (@lolojones) October 3, 2012
As a person, I'll give Lolo a chance and won't deem this foul play, but knowing her past record of simply not caring sometimes may deflect someone else's sympathy. Check your facts next time Lolo. It's only ignorant if you don't know.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- A commander hailed by Croats as a hero of the Balkan conflict was convicted of war crimes by a U.N. court Friday and sentenced to 24 years in prison for a campaign of shelling, shootings and expulsions aimed at driving Serbs out of a Croatian border region in 1995.
The conviction of Gen. Ante Gotovina was a blow to the Croatian view of its wartime generals as national heroes who reclaimed Croatian land from a more powerful Serb force.
Thousands of Croatian war veterans watched the verdict live on a large video screen at Zagreb's main square, and jeered and booed the ruling, some frozen in disbelief, others crying.
"This is a verdict against the Croatian state," said Branko Borkovic, a former Croatian army commander. "All of us have been convicted, including the Republic of Croatia."
Gotovina was convicted of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, deportation, persecution and inhuman acts, during and immediately after a lightning campaign called Operation Storm that seized back land along Croatia's eastern border taken over by rebel Serbs early in the Balkan wars. Dozens of Serbs were killed and tens of thousands forced to flee their homes.
Croatia's ethnic war was one of a string of conflicts that erupted across the Balkans with the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. The most deadly was in Bosnia, where Serbs battled Muslims and Croats in a four-year struggle that claimed some 100,000 lives.
In Croatia, ethnic Serbs backed by Serbia held the Krajina region for years. But as Belgrade's forces were stretched in the closing days of the Bosnian war -- and as former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic turned his back on the Croatian Serb rebels -- Croatian forces seized the opportunity to strike back.
Croatian troops opened Operation Storm with artillery barrages that forced thousands of Serbs to flee their homes. Soldiers and special police then roamed from village to village, killing and abusing villagers -- many of them elderly, according to Friday's judgment.
U.S. officials were believed to have given logistical and political support to President Franjo Tudjman for "Operation Storm," which sealed Croatia's war for independence.
Witnesses said during the trial that one elderly Serb woman was forced to strip to her underwear and play basketball. Presiding Judge Alphons Orie cited one witness who recalled finding his elderly mother and mentally ill brother shot dead after hearing a Croatian soldier say, "I killed another one." Another man was tied to a tree and surrounded with material that was then set ablaze.
The first prosecution witness in the case told judges artillery shells rained down on the city of Knin, hitting apartment blocks and a medical clinic.
"As I ran, shells were falling around me," the witness said. Her identity was not released by the court.
The offensive is still a source of friction between Balkan neighbors Croatia and Serbia. Zagreb celebrates it with a national holiday, while Belgrade regards it as one of the worst crimes against Serbs committed during the Balkan wars.
Gotovina, a charismatic 55-year-old former French Legionaire, became a symbol for what Croatians saw as a war of liberation against neighboring Serbia's expansionist policies.
Posters of him were plastered around the country after he went on the run following his indictment in 2001. He became one of the court's most-wanted fugitives until his arrest while dining in a restaurant on a Spanish island in 2005.
In Zagreb, former Foreign Minister Mate Granic, who testified at the trial, criticized the verdicts as "shameful and not based on evidence." He added that the verdicts attempted to "change history and the historic truth."
Defense lawyer Greg Kehoe said Gotovina would appeal and "will be successful."
"We all are disappointed," he said. "We all believed ... that we would be taking the general home today."
Kehoe said judges "completely ignored everything that was presented by the Gotovina defense."
The Yugoslav war crimes tribunal judgment said President Tudjman led a "joint criminal enterprise" to repopulate the Krajina region with Croats after driving out Serbs. Tudjman died in 1999 while under investigation by the tribunal.
Gotovina's "orders to unlawfully attack civilians ... amounted in and of itself to a significant contribution to the joint criminal enterprise," Orie said. He said the terror spread by Croat shelling "created an environment in which those present there had no choice but to leave."
The court also convicted a second general, Mladen Markac, and sentenced him to 18 years, but cleared a third, Ivan Cermak, of all charges and ordered him released.
Cermak's lawyer Steven Kay said his client was relieved.
"He found himself in a nightmare," Kay said. "Finally this matter has got to the truth."
Gotovina and Markac both stood upright and showed no emotion as they were convicted and sentenced. Cermak looked down at the desk in front of him as Orie pronounced his acquittal of all charges.
The judgment was one of the most significant ever handed down by the U.N. court dealing with crimes against Serbs. Belgrade often accuses the tribunal of anti-Serb bias since the vast majority of suspects convicted are Serbs.
Defense lawyers for Gotovina and Markac unsuccessfully argued during the three-year trial that crimes in the Krajina were committed not by Croatian armed forces and special police, but by Croats exacting revenge on Serbs who forced them from their homes years earlier.
Associated Press correspondent Dusan Stojanovic contributed to this report from Croatia.

Happiness is the subject of "13 Conversations About One Thing." For that matter, happiness is the subject of every conversation we ever have: the search for happiness, the envy of happiness, the loss of happiness, the guilt about undeserved happiness. The engine that drives the human personality is our desire to be happy instead of sad, entertained instead of bored, inspired instead of disillusioned, informed rather than ignorant. It is not an easy business.
Consider Troy (Matthew McConaughey), the prosecutor who has just won a big conviction. In the movie's opening scene, he's loud and obnoxious in a saloon, celebrating his victory. He spots a sad-sack at the bar: Gene (Alan Arkin), who seems to be pessimistic about the possibility of happiness. Gene is a mid-level manager at an insurance company, has to fire someone, and decides to fire Wade, the happiest man in the department, since he can see the sunny side of anything.
Troy buys drinks for Gene. He wants everybody to be happy. Then he drives drunk, hits a pedestrian with his car and believes he has killed her. As an assistant district attorney he knows how much trouble he's in and instinctively leaves the scene. His problem becomes an all-consuming guilt, which spoils his ability to enjoy anything in life; he was cut in the accident, and keeps the wound open with a razor blade, to punish himself.
The movie finds connections between people who think they are strangers, finding the answer to one person's problem in the question raised by another. We meet Walker (John Turturro), a sardonic college professor, who walks out on his wife (Amy Irving) and begins an affair with a woman (Barbara Sukowa). She realizes that the affair is hardly the point: Walker is going through the motions because he has been told, and believes, that this is how you find happiness. We also meet a house cleaner (Clea DuVall) who is good at her job but works for a client who can only criticize. She is injured for no reason at all, suffers great pain, does not deserve to.
The truth hidden below the surface of the story is a hard one: Nothing makes any sense. We do not get what we deserve. If we are lucky, we get more. If we are unlucky, we get less. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. That's the system. All of our philosophies are a futile attempt to explain it. Let me tell you a story. Not long ago, I was in the middle of a cheerful conversation when I slipped on wet wax, landed hard, and broke bones in my left shoulder. I was in a fool's paradise of happiness, you see, not realizing that I was working without a net--that in a second my happiness would be rudely interrupted.
I could have hit my head and been killed. Or landed better and not been injured. At best, what we can hope for is a daily reprieve from all of the things that can go wrong. "13 Conversations About One Thing" is relentless in the way it demonstrates how little we control our lives. We can choose actions but we cannot plan outcomes. Follow, for example, the consequences of Arkin's decision to fire the happy man, and then see what happens to Arkin, and then see what happens to the happy man. Or watch as the McConaughey character grants reality to something he only thinks he knows. Or see how the Turturro character, so obsessed with his personal timetable, so devoted to his daily and weekly routines, is able to arrange everything to his satisfaction--and then is not satisfied.
The movie is brilliant, really. It is philosophy, illustrated through everyday events. Most movies operate as if their events are necessary--that B must follow A. "13 Conversations" betrays B, A and all the other letters as random possibilities.
The film was directed by Jill Sprecher and written with her sister, Karen. It's their second, after "Clockwatchers" (1997), the lacerating, funny story about temporary workers in an office and their strategies to prove they exist in a world that is utterly indifferent to them. After these two movies, there aren't many filmmakers whose next film I anticipate more eagerly. They're onto something. They're using films to demonstrate something to us. Movies tell narratives, and the purpose of narrative is to arrange events in an order that seems to make sense and end correctly. The Sprechers are telling us if we believe in these narratives, we're only fooling ourselves.
And yet, even so, there is a way to find happiness. That is to be curious about all of the interlocking events that add up to our lives. To notice connections. To be amused or perhaps frightened by the ways things work out. If the universe is indifferent, what a consolation that we are not.
