Indian women take safety into their own hands
Between 1990 and 2008, the number of rapes recorded in India more than doubled, although official figures are hard to calculate, since the police often refuse to register complaints. In the state of Uttar Pradesh, a group of women have already taken matters into their own hands. Over six years, the movement has inspired many and today the group has over 20,000 members - many of whom are not afraid to resort to violence.

Four friends are going the distance this spring to make a difference in one Ohio community. Two Huntington University students, Jake Essig and Isaac Beal, along with their friends, Derek Garde and Nick Streibick, will be dribbling soccer balls from Monroe, Ohio, to Toledo — a full 250-mile trip — to raise money for the homeless in Toledo. "The four of us decided that we wanted to go on a trip that would stretch us as people and strengthen our friendship," Essig said. "As we thought about what kind of trip that would look like, we decided that we want to make an impact in a community." The four will be raising money for LifeLine Toledo to help bring awareness to the impoverished areas of this northwest Ohio city. LifeLine works in the community to provide needs to the homeless, such as a mobile medical unit, planting house churches and building community through meals and fellowship. The trip will begin on May 20 in Monroe, a suburb of Cincinnati, and then continue north along Highway 127. They plan to go 15 miles per day and finish by June 15. In the end, they hope to raise $10,000 for those in need. "All four of us are college athletes so we are banking on that to get us through this trip," said Essig, a soccer player at HU. "We understand that this will be a grueling trip at times, but our hearts and minds will stay focused on why we are doing such a trip."Essig, a junior at HU, Garde, a sophomore at the University of Cincinnati, and Streibick, a sophomore at Asbury University, have all been best friends since a young age. Beal, a senior and a soccer player at HU, came to be good friends with the group through Essig. With a shared love for soccer, the four devised "Dribble 4 Toledo" as a spring missions project. "We wanted to add dribbling a soccer ball into the mix because that is what has brought us together from the start," Beal said. "Sports are the perfect platform for ministry, especially soccer. Soccer is a universal game. It is the game of mankind. It connects people of all races, religions, backgrounds and passions."The team is asking for donations, support and any other participation that people are willing to offer. "The people are the change and the key part of this radical transforming mission," Essig said. "We are just the hands and feet."Donations for "Dribble 4 Toledo" may be sent to LifeLine Toledo, PO Box 20097, Toledo, OH 43610. All checks should be made out to LifeLine Toledo with "Dribble 4 Toledo" in the memo line.

This 14,000-square-foot Tuscan-style house near Orlando, Fla., more resembles a European castle, with everything including hand-painted cathedral ceilings—we're talking awe-inspiring cathedrals here—and hand-carved fireplaces and master wood craftsmanship.
The techno-savvy lord of this manor also gave the royal treatment to his home's electronic systems, hiring aptly named Merlin Home Technologies of Lutz, Fla., to install two separate home networks—a gigabit network over super-high-speed Category 6 cabling for the owner's office and guests, and another over Category 5 Ethernet cabling for the extensive Control4 home automation system. Commercial-grade network routers and switches were added, and a custom-built Dell computer in the office streams international Internet radio stations throughout the house.
"We found that network-based systems [like Control4] seem to work better with their own dedicated networks," says Don Dunn of Merlin Home Technologies. Five or more access points help transmit Control4's ZigBee-based wireless lighting signals through the palatial digs, and for the rest of the networking and control options, a whopping 16 miles of wiring were all "home run" back to one central location.
The Control4 system features 16 separate zones of audio, and five in-wall touchscreens that operate all of the audio and video, lighting, security, heating and ventilation, motorized shades and curtains, pool and spa and the front gate.
All of the Somfy motorized shades and curtains on the main floor, for example, open and close at certain times during the day via an astronomical clock that accommodates for changing sunrise and sunset times. This helps to cool spaces by closing them off to the hot Florida sun—and it also protects furniture and artwork from fading. Merlin plans to take the shading one step further by automating them to open and close via the readings of temperature sensors.
Motion sensors in and around the house automatically activate mini-scenes of lighting. For example, when someone approaches the front door four or more lights in the area come on. The same happens when someone steps onto the lanai at night.
A Control4 audio matrix and Sony video distribution system deliver audio and video all over the house from a 500GB hard disk music server, a 2-terabyte Fusion movie server, a 400-disc DVD changer, among other sources. There's also a karaoke server that's loaded with 10,000 songs, although singing along requires performing in the killer home theater. And yes, there's even a dance floor. What self-respecting castle in central Florida would be without one?
Audio in the house comes through in-wall speakers expertly blended into the extensive woodwork and Stealth Acoustics speakers that sound from behind thin layers of Venetian plaster.
The royal treatment and craftsmanship is extended to the equipment room, where three OmniMount racks sit a regal 50 inches from the wall and are backed with a platform for workers to access the business ends of the equipment. The 16 miles of wire emerge from the baseboard and are neatly and organized, thanks to Merlin's rack master, Chris Landry.Facebook and Twitter.

The Free Software hardliner, the corporation, and the shotgun wedding
By Josef Assad on January 19, 2008 (2:00:00 PM)
We called it Free Software at first. It wasn't until we started calling it Open Source that the punditry line counts began creeping up higher than the code line counts. We had this baby and we were proud of it, and the deep rooted insecurity born of being the ridiculed and utterly misunderstood underdogs made us require the approval of business and Grandma Bessie before we could ourselves be satisfied.
Well, now we've got it, and in some ways Open Source is not better off because of it.
Thanks to the cavorting evangelists in the Ubuntu community who were converted on the strength of a cheaply-gotten sense of technical superiority over their peers who still use Windows 98, "Free" is now a dirty word since it stands so often in the way of converting more people, faster.
Free Software wasn't originally meant to be a cult with a membership statistics monkey on its back; the idea was, like, to be "Free."
And what happened when we celebrated the business adoption of Open Source? Many great things happened (just look at LKML), but something bad has also happened. We started thinking that we'd have to get around the notions of liberty and sovereignty to make our baby pretty for the Big Business IT Fashion Show.
We showed a willingness to sweep our sense of liberty under the carpet, and in return we got Sun's OpenOffice.org and Linux versions of Skype. We got binary blobs for video drivers -- crystal-clear memos from the video chipset companies that said they were so disinterested in Open Source that they didn't want to benefit from the most trivial advantage of Free Software: development cost savings.
When we nagged, it was for an updated Linux Flash plugin. We didn't lobby for a Free one.
I don't want to malign the term "Open Source," but rather use it as a portmanteau for what we have today versus what we built before. Open Source it is about the software, while Free Software is about people. And you can have good -- and open -- technology if you have a strong community, but you can't necessarily grow a healthy community if you have open technology.
Where did we go wrong?
Wasn't the magic of licensing going to preserve all that we held dear? The GPL was more than just a license; it embodied a philosophy, and it contained a statement of intent: "This is our software," it said, "and you're welcome to come in and play. Here are the rules which guarantee that other people can also come in and play."
The four basic freedoms of Open Source -- the right to view, modify, redistribute, and to use for any purpose -- go a long way toward inclusiveness. The idea of inclusiveness is to create an environment conducive to establishing and preserving a community.
And then something happened, and we got Open Source projects with characteristics which were to community what North Korea is to democratic government. They had corporate stewards who sat at their front doors, checking everyone going in; Sun Microsystems with its office suite being a canonical example, Canonical with its Launchpad system being a shining other. They had corporate sponsors who used the developer community as free (skilled) labor or, worse, as a testbed: "Let the rabble use it and let's see what breaks."
The Free Software community isn't there to build revenue or to have development models built around it. That wasn't the original idea. We wanted to control our own technology. Acme Solutions tries to control the development community around its system, and when this doesn't work, what does it do? It throws the HR department at the problem and ends up with an internal group of developers, which hardly qualifies by any standard as a community. And the point here is: "If there isn't a community, is this what we had in mind when we started out with Free Software?"
There are some projects out there which have changed the face of Free Software: the Netscape codebase certainly has, as has the StarOffice suite. In both cases though, the codebase is so broad, complex, and mired in "let's build a suite, we can't miss any features" development philosophy that these systems are not very approachable to begin with, which is why the larger projects are worked on mainly by people who are paid to do so. To each their own, of course, but we had our own way of doing things and it wasn't by building "suites" or leviathans of clumped capability.
The classical Unix concept of small and simple components in a conceptual tool chain, held together by stark and self-documenting interfaces, probably wouldn't have given us OpenOffice.org Calc. Or Firefox. Or Evolution. But what is interesting about these prime examples of Free Software with corporate-monolith-suite-itis is this: they end up sporting plugin systems. To be really honest, a plugin system is actually at a very high level a scream for help, a way of saying, "This codebase is too beastly! We need to export a simplified interface for developers to be able to contribute more easily!" Plugin interfaces are admissions of guilt. They are unconscious confessions that it was a mistake to discard the tool chain architecture.
What happened to Free Software when it courted the corporation -- apart from changing its name -- was that it bent over backwards to accommodate corporate IT characteristics. A business is more likely to develop ERP software than to develop a small application such as sed. Corporate-driven monster applications are less approachable, and therefore less likely to attract by any organic means a developer base, than simpler applications. "Small is beautiful" just isn't in the corporate DNA, at least without some sort of revolution.
We don't get very much "release early, release often" these days either, at least not as much as we used to. "We'll release it when it's ready" is now dirty: the more professional communities have release schedules. Eh, "professional"? As opposed to "amateur"? If the last 10 years of geekery and the Internet have taught us anything, it is that amateur culture is not another way of saying "this sucks." Remember, GNU didn't start with an IBM grant, and neither did the Linux kernel. And they came from somewhere.
The Free Software modus operandum and free culture are not antithetical to the corporate model, but I don't think the two have figured out how to mesh yet. That guy sitting in his mom's basement, getting a CRT tan and letting his beard grow, who wrote your IDE driver, and the dark-suited dude with the pointy hair and the Mont Blanc pen are joined at the hip -- but they could both be enjoying it a bit more.
Novell's people look like they have a pretty clear idea of what they are doing with their corporate Linux systems, but when it comes to openSUSE and the associated community, there's a certain sense of disconnect -- which is probably innocent; neither side has worked out how to speak to or make use of the other, and distro releases are like difficult births. The openSUSE/SLE model actually looks like a me-too of the Red Hat/Fedora divide: "Oh, look at what Red Hat is doing! Let's do it, too!"
IBM products that get open-sourced don't usually don't attract a traditional developer community. Sun Microsystems wants Free Software that, paradoxically, it can control. Is the Firebird RDBMS really any more accessible now that it is open? When an organization opens a product, it typically continues to invest in development instead of pouring effort into creating a genuine, sustainable organic community structure. Open Source becomes a marketing sound-bite, like an ISO Certified label on a can of sun-dried tomatoes. ISO certification used to mean something, but time dilutes.
If the idea of Open Source is to make IT cheaper for the bean counters, we've succeeded. Those who believe Free Software is supposed to change the way people think about ideas and information, not just save money, often feel frustrated about how their creation has been co-opted by people who don't share their desire to be "Free."
Political scientists learned the hard way that introducing democracy before improving education was a recipe for trouble, and I think one lesson we can take away in our field is similar. Our code is inextricably ideological. Free Software is a choice, an option, and also a movement. If we don't educate our users about the ideology behind Free Software, we not only cheapen Free Software, but lose everything that made it special in the first place.
Josef Assad got started with Free Software by co-founding the Egyptian Linux User Group. He helped to start up one of the first free software ICT4D companies in the Middle East, and has worked with the Grameen Foundation on open source microfinance information systems. Putting his money where his free culture mouth is, he released his first novel under a Creative Commons license.

February 2010: Short on Days, Long on News
This month promises to be full of news in the airline industry, and potentially in a big way. February is the month where we celebrate Groundhog Day. And like the movie of that name, we'll probably see some of the same stories emerge, over and over again.
Colgan, Congress and the Regulators
One of the biggest, in my view, is the ramifications of Colgan 3407, the subject of many megabytes on Swelblog. The tragic crash of the Colgan Air flight came last year on February 12 and there have been a number of Congressional hearings since focusing on the safety of the airline system generally and the regional airline system specifically. Last week, Federal Aviation Administration Administrator J. Randolph Babbitt and DOT Inspector General Calvin L. Scovell III testified before the House on the status of the FAA's response..
In its Call to Action, the FAA is looking at fatigue; crew training; pilot qualifications; training program review guidance; pilot mentoring/experience transfer programs; pilot records; and code share agreements.
New scrutiny on code sharing comes courtesy of Reps. James Oberstar and Jerry Costello, who have demanded that the DOT IG investigate these widely-used agreements between airlines. The congressmen ask, at a minimum, that the investigation consider:
- Whether the DOT and the FAA have the legal authority to review code -share agreements between mainline carriers and their regional partners;
- How mainline carriers ensure that their regional partners operate at the same level of safety; and
- Whether the flying public has adequate information about code-sharing arrangements to make informed decisions when purchasing a ticket.
As if this story needed fuel to fire the debate, PBS Frontline will air an hourlong investigative report on the Colgan crash on February 9. If PBS publicity on the subject is any indicator, then this piece will be will be as much about sensational journalism as it is about half-truths. Already, Frontline is making much of the low salaries some regional pilots earn in a story centered on Colgan but that by all appearances paints all regional operators with the same brush. It will be important to parse the information offered and the story-telling in this piece.
oneworld and an Immunized Atlantic (and Pacific?) Alliance
As STAR and SkyTeam fortify their alliances with new partners, anti-trust immunity and "metal neutral" joint ventures; American, British Airways, Iberia, Finnair and Royal Jordanian await word as to whether the third time will be a charm for oneworld to operate with immunization across the Atlantic. In a January article, Lori Ranson of Airline Business writes about some of the issues before the regulators.
This is only one big decision affecting AA – another is the continuing saga regarding whether Japan Airlines will stick with oneworld or submit to entreaties from Delta and join SkyTeam. [NOTE: JAL announces its intention to stay with oneworld on 2/9/10] The media has been all over the board on this one, with this week's predictions going oneworld's way. This story has had more leads from unnamed sources than even the rumored merger talks in past years involving Continental and United, and United and US Airways.
But one thing is certain, and that is February 10, 2010, when four slot pairs become available to US airlines to serve Tokyo's Haneda Airport under an "Open Skies" agreement between the U.S. and Japan. [DATE moved to 2/15 due to weather in Washington DC] Initial applications for those slots are due this Wednesday, with final submissions due to the US Department of Transportation by March 1, 2010. The winner could be flying as early as October of this year when the fourth runway at Tokyo's downtown airport is scheduled for completion.
As part of the pact, Japan also made immunized alliance relationships for JAL and ANA a condition of the deal. And it has long been thought that if applications for immunity were not made by mid-February then it would be difficult for the US government to complete the necessary analysis in order to meet the October deadline. Few, if any, ATI applications have been approved in eight months or less.
United/Continental/ANA have already applied. JAL is bankrupt but needs to pick a partner soon. That means that the ongoing soap opera playing out in Japan may soon be coming to an end.
The National Mediation Board and Airline Strikes
On January 21, 2010 the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) ended a two-week intensive bargaining session with American Airlines without reaching a deal. Leading up to these talks, the union had been working hard to rally its members, even going so far as to stage a mock strike with limited impact. Next up: yet another round of mediated negotiations in Washington, DC beginning February 27.
Serious industry watchers may conclude that a a round of talks in Washington at this relatively advanced state of negotiations could mean that a "release decision" is imminent. Another viewpoint is that the NMB might be more likely to put the negotiations "on ice" given the wide gap between what the union demands and the company believes it is able to provide. Even in historically difficult times for the US airline industry, the APFA's rhetoric suggests that the union will pay little to nothing in efficiency in return for the improved economics it seeks. So these talks may be the next milestone marking how Obama's NMB will deal with labor negotiations in the airline industry.
If nothing else, the APFA has been reckless in talking about a strike. Long-term observers may recall that the union pulled off a coup in 1993 with a strike even the airline didn't think would happen; and the union leaders seem to think they could do it again. So as APFA's strike talk continues, American did what a responsible airline must do, confirming in a media story that it is working with the FAA to prepare, if necessary, to train replacements if the APFA strikes. Clearly the news story made a few APFA members nervous as, shortly thereafter, APFA President Laura Glading criticized the company, calling its contigency plans "an ill-conceived and doomed strategy." My question to Ms. Glading is: How, then, is your strike rhetoric not an ill-conceived and doomed strategy not only for your members but for all employees at American Airlines?
As a footnote, last week the story took an amazing turn with news that former TWA flight attendants – nearly all of them furloughed after the APFA put them on the bottom of the seniority list following AA's acquisition of TWA's assets -- would be willing to cross a picket line and work if the APFA went out on strike. Now I wonder how much time Glading is spending reliving the strike of 1993 when faced with the prospect of an airline ready with trained replacements at hand, including a group of flight attendants with an axe to grind against her union?
Finally, February may be the month we get a decision from the NMB following the effort of two Board members to change by fiat the law that governs labor law in the railway and airline industries and would make it far easier for unions to organize workers. The decision has, however, generated a tremendous amount of comment and controversy, so we may be waiting until March Madness for that story to break.
Stay tuned. It may be a wild ride.

On some level all men are dudes. Even the most serious and reserved men have a secret dude inside them that yearns to be unleashed. Let the other people in your dude's life mess around with tasteful watches and business card holders this holiday season. You know what he really wants and it ain't no damn scarf, hat, and mitten set.
Shark Gifts: Because dudes love sharks.
1. Gold Resin Shark Head Faux Taxidermy, White Faux Taxidermy, $129.99
He'll mount it on his wall and every time he looks at it he'll think of "Shark Week" and you.
2. Shark Week 2013: Fins Of Fury Blu-ray, Discovery, $19.98
Blue Ray is a must. High-def is never optional when shark attacks are involved.
3. Shark Bite Socks, Urban Outfitters, $5.99
Imagine how cute it will be the next time you guys are sitting down to dinner with your parents and he puts his feet up on the table and says "Look at the awesome socks _____ got me!" On second thought, don't think about that. Just buy them. They're cheap and he'll love them.
Ninja Gifts: Because when dudes aren't dreaming about being world famous shark hunters, they're dreaming about being ninjas.
4. Ninjabread Cookie Kit, In The Mix, $22.95
He'll have so much fun making them fight each other before he eats them.
5. Soundchucks, Puma, $129.95
They play music and can be weaponized in the even of a home invasion.
6. Bruce Lee art print, Society 6, $24.95
It's Bruce Lee as a French general. Or something. This is like the dude equivalent of fine art. Upon unwrapping it he will look at it pensively for a few minutes, perhaps stroking an imaginary beard, before declaring it a masterpiece — the perfect marriage of east and west — and attempting to hang it in the living room.
Office Gifts: Because there are no openings for shark hunters or professional ninjas, so dudes have to work desk jobs instead.
7. Nailed It Desk Organizer, Uncommon Goods, $58.00
There's a very real possibility that he will be so mesmerized playing with this weird little hammer thingy that he won't be nailing much of anything else (like, you). But hey, as long as he's happy.
8. Desktop wood slingshot, Red Envelope, $39.95
He can use it to launch paper into the trash can. He won't, of course. He'll use it to launch paper at Bob in the cubicle across from him, but that's Bob's problem.
9. Desktop Drum Set, Baron Bob, $11.95
His never-ending coffee break drum solos will leave his coworkers cursing your name, but who cares what they think.
Wearable Gifts: Because clothes take on a whole new meaning when dudes aren't at the office.
10. Black Bar Sunglasses, Stupid.com, $12.59
Give the gift of plausible deniability. These identity-sheilding censor-bar sunglasses are ideal for the dude who's always getting photographed doing stupid shit he shouldn't. Rumor has it Bieber's mother just bought him 10 pairs.
11. Beard Hat, Beard Head, $45.00
You know how dudes like to wear their team's jersey when they watch them play a game? It's not like it makes a difference in the outcome, but they like it, so you try to be supportive. Give your dude something fun to wear when sports aren't on. This beard hat is great for watching Duck Dynasty, that viking show, or any number of beard-based programs. It's hideous and he'll probably want to wear it out on a cold day, but you know he'll love it and hey, it's better than him trying to grow one of his own.
12. Workaholics Bear Coat, Urban Outfitters, $200.00
It's a coat that makes him look like a bear. That's it. Even men deserve to feel fierce.
Eating Gifts: Because a dude's gotta eat and for his own sake you'd rather it wasn't hot dogs straight from the packet, over the sink.
13. Breakfast Sandwich Maker, Hamilton Beach, $24.00
It's a completely unnecessary bit of kitchen tech that takes making breakfast to a whole new level of absurdity. He'll love it.
14. Ninja Blender, Ninja, $99.99
It's loud, it cuts shit up, and it has "ninja" IN the name. He's going to be so stoked to get back to making those protein shakes.
15. Stonewear TV Dinner Tray, Uncommon Goods, $24.00
His favorite meals already come straight from the microwave. Don't fight it. Now every dinner can be a Hungry Man dinner.
High Tech Gifts: Because dudes love tech, even when they don't really know how to use it.
16. 3D Printing Pen, Robot Shop, $99.00
Now he can doodle boobs and penises in 3D!
17. Virtual Keyboard, Brookstone, $99.99
Now any surface can be a keyboard. This is sort of a horrible gift, but guys have blinders on when it comes to tech. Anything with bluetooth is pretty much a guaranteed slam dunk.
18. Nano QX RTF, Blade, $89.99
This is basically a tiny drone. Watch out for a sneak attack the next time you take a shower.
Low Tech Gifts: Because as much as dudes love tech, it's the simple things that bring them the greatest pleasure.
19. Automatic Table Tennis Net And Post Set, Lion Pro, $67.14
Now any table can be a beer/ping pong table.
20. Toilet Golf, Urban Outfitters, $14.00
Just make sure you get in there before him, because once he sits down he's probably not getting up again for a very very long time.
21. Primal Bells: Gorilla-Shaped Kettle Bells, Onnit, Starting at $42.95
Nothing goes with gorilla-like weight-lifting grunting like a gorilla.
Gaming Gifts: Because when all else fails, you can never go wrong with gaming stuff.
22. Evolution of Video Game Controllers Poster, Pop Chart Lab, $32.00
He'll hang it next to the Bruce Lee poster in your living room and spend hours staring at it, studying its mysteries.
23. Dreamcade Vision Kegerator, Dream Arcades, $3999.00
It's an old-school arcade game with built in kegs. He may explode.
24. MOGA Pro Mobile Gaming System for Android Smartphones, BD&A, $49.33
Ok, so $4000 for a giant keg/video game hybrid is a little out of your price range, but a controller that turns his smart phone into a hand-held mini arcade game? That you can do.

Track 5 on CDS44321/4 CD2 [10'46] 4CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
In the event, Vaughan Williams's warnings and entreaties went unheeded. But the humanitarian warmth and splendour of his vision remains; and, after all, if the day ever dawns when composers fail to speak out through the medium of their art against mankind's seemingly illimitable folly and wickedness, we shall be in a poor way, to put it mildly.
1) The soprano solo leads the forces of apprehensive humanity (the chorus) in their quest for peace. At the end the drums of war are heard in the far distance.
2) War erupts: nothing and nobody is inviolate. The Whitman setting is dominated by beating drums and blowing bugles, inbuilt in the music even when the text isn't directly referring to them. In an inspired transition (Vaughan Williams no less than Britten was a master of the seamless scene-change) the drums of war turn into the lapping, laving rhythms of …
3) Reconciliation. The 'enemy' is dead—'a man as divine as myself', as in Wilfred Owen's 'Strange Meeting'—and music of transcendent beauty and simplicity warms and cleanses the world.
4) Dirge for Two Veterans. A second drum-study. This time the drums are not of war but of its aftermath—death, and burial. Vaughan Williams based this movement on an earlier setting of the same words made before his mature style had crystallized. This works to his advantage since the music has a kind of rude solidity and strength which a more sophisticated musical language might have mellowed. It would be easy to sentimentalize Whitman here, and this Vaughan Williams resolutely avoids.
5) The ostinato bass which plays out the 'veterans' now plays in the Angel of Death. The snorting of Dan's horses momentarily recalls the apocalyptic equine visions of Sancta Civitas, but these are soon dispelled by one of the work's most magical moments, the solo baritone's reassuring 'O man, greatly beloved, fear not, peace be unto thee'. Chorus basses intone the great text from Micah, almost every word a poem: 'Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.' The word spreads among all instruments and tongues in prospect of a New Jerusalem: bells ring out in a riotous succession of keys and peals, and what better than C major for the Christmas climax: 'On earth peace, goodwill toward men'? As the sounds of the heavenly host move out of earshot the soprano solo rises from them with a final reiteration of her entreaty: hers alone is the voice that lingers at the end like a solitary ray of hope, a light in the night.

Great value for very well made blinds
These blinds are a great deal. Custom sized for close to the same price I would have gotten off the rack and the valances are beautiful. There was one mistake in the shipment but it was corrected without any trouble or further expense. (Extra long Valance was missing.) I hope to do more business in the future.
These blinds are beautiful. The price was right and the quality excellent.
Absolutly perfect fit looks great and works the same. Thanks.
I love the rosewood color of the blinds. I thought they would be heavier or include a few more slats at the bottom because they barely touch the sill.

The 2014 season was a rebuilding year for the Eagles. The season got off to a rough start before it even started, losing their coach just a week before the season started. Just days before the first match, the Eagles hired first year coach Eric Burop to take over the helm. Despite the renewed energy the team had, the Eagles got off to a rough start, losing their first 2 matches, 9-0.
In the third match of the season, the Eagles fell to CCNY, however the doubles team of Alexandra Budd and Chang Xu won the first point of the season for the Eagles, winning their match 8-6. After dropping the next 2 contests to fall to 0-5 on the season, the Eagles traveled to Cazenovia for a Sunday afternoon conference match. The Eagles won their first point of the match when the doubles team of Maame Quainoo and Chiamaka Nwangwu won their match 8-3. Quianoo, Nwangwu, and Stacy Tsultsmova also won their singles matches, giving the Eagles their first win of the season, 6-3.
The Eagles couldn't build off their victory, losing the final 4 matches of the season to finish the year with a 1-9 record. Despite a tough season, the Eagles are optimistic for the future. With the addition of a fall schedule next season, the Eagles will be poised to make a run at the NEAC Championships.

Can she tell what she does to you? Can you tell what it is doing to her?

Liposomal Glutathione for pregnancy.
18 people found the following review helpful
Posted by TrueReviews on Nov 15, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I got this product because I read that glutathione is very important during pregnancy. It is one of the most potent antioxidants, it neutralises heavy metals, pesticides, air pollution and it also highly concentrated in the placenta. Liposomal glutathione is much better absorbed by the body. It is worth investing in this ingredient. The taste is not very good, it is definitely better to dilute it in juice.

The product is high quality and effective and I intend to continue using it. However if you are a super-taster you wil find the taste repulsive. I recommend Now Foods sugar free drinks sticks to take it with. Acai Lemonade is the best.
Price too high for unknown results

Posted by Reviewer2786187 on Oct 04, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I have placed and received nearly two hundred orders from iHerb over the years, (great service)and this product is the most expensive, as well as the worse tasting, that I have ordered. It would probably be worth the expense, and bad taste, if the product does what it claims to do. I received it the second week of September 2013 and the expiration date on the package is October 2013 (EXP 10-2013). I read on another website that this product has a short shelf life. If that be the case, it should say so on the package. I have to wonder if the product I received has lost most or all of its potency, considering the expiration date. Having taken it daily for three weeks now, I feel no different. Fair to mention I have no known health problems. There is a direct correlation between how much glutathione people have in their system and the length of time they live. In general, greater glutathione levels equals longer life span. However, it is highly unlikely I will order this product again until the price is greatly reduced.

• Reversible sterling silver charm pendant with beaded border
• Carved mother of pearl cabochon on one side, an engraved swirl design on the other
• Measures 1-3/8" long x 1/2" wide and features a snap hinge bail

The classic tradition of tooled leather Western saddles enters a new frontier when interpreted in bold sterling silver and carved mother-of-pearl. A tribute to the individuality and spirit of the American woman, these designs exude both strength and beauty.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Post subject: Home-Made Minis "How To" Guide
In the light of (the very positive
) comments about my home-made miniatures for Federation Commander, I thought I'd make a couple of ships and take pics at various points in their construction so that I could explain how I make them.
I started by making a Gorn BC, but sadly I messed up some of the photography in the intermediate stages (hence the blurry pictures in some cases - apologies for that). However, I'll still show you what I do have of that, and explain how I made it. Because I messed that one up slightly, I thought I'd make another ship as well, and make sure I photographed it right. I decided a Kzinti BC would be a nice model to do as a "how to" article.
For the Gorn BC, the first step was to cut out the double saucer and central hull section from a piece of 60-thou' (that is 60 thousandths of an inch thick) plastic card, to the approximate 2-dimensional shape. I then cut the wing pieces from 30-thou' plastic card. The warp nacelles were formed by first taking a section of round sprue from a model kit, and heating the centre of the length very gently over a candle, rotating it to heat it evenly. When the plastic started to melt, the plastic was taken away from the heat, and the ends were eased apart until the centre of the length of sprue was of the appropriate diameter. The plastic was then held in this position until cooled, to keep it straight, and the warp nacelle sections were cut from this thinner centre section. Here is a picture of all the parts laid out together; a ruler is shown next to the parts to give an idea of the size of each piece, the graduations being in millimetres:
The next step was to shape the main hull by carving the eliptical cross-section into the centre hull using a Stanley knife, and rounding off the edges of the saucer section using sand paper. The wings were neatened up using sandpaper and glued in the appropriate position to the centre hull. The fronts of the warp engines were sanded round, and then glued onto small pylons (made from 30-thou' plastic card) and attached to the rear saucer. The model was then glued onto a stand made from 20-thou' plastic card. At this stage, the model looked like this:
The next step was to apply a paint basecoat of extra-dark grey, after which the model looked like this:
The model was then dry-brushed with a medium grey, to give depth to the colour. This was done several times, brushing fairly lightly, until the desired colour was achieved:
The detail was then added using a fine brush; the rear of the warp engines and the shuttle landing pads on the wings were painted blue, and the plasma-F launchers and impulse engines on the wings painted red. The navigational deflector on the nose was painted gold, and the Gorn triangle symbols painted in orange on the port wing and on the port side of the forward saucer, and then outlined with white once this was dry. The base was painted black once the paint on the model was dry. The model was then given a coat of matt varnish to finish it. The finished model is almost exactly an inch long, and looks like this:
The first step in the construction of the Kzinti Battlecruiser is a similar one; cutting the basic shapes of the parts out of plastic card. The rear hull and the main piece of the forward hull were cut from 60-thou' plastic card, while the warp engines, wings and another section the shape of the forward hull were cut from 30-thou' plastic card:
The two pieces of forward hull were sandwiched on top of each other using polystyrene cement, and left to dry thoroughly. They were then carved to give the angular shape of the forward hull, and a layer of polystyrene cement smeared over them to fill the slight gap between the two layers. The rear hull was carved into a cross-section consisting of an irregular hexagon, with the lower angular sides smaller than the upper ones. The forward and rear hulls were then glued together, and left to set. At this point, everything was neatened up with sandpaper. The warp engines and wings were then added, and the ship glued to its stand (again made from 20-thou' plastic card). At this point, the model looked like this:
The model was then given a basecoat of dark red-brown (mixed from red, brick-red and black), and it then looked like this:
The model was then given a dry-brushing of red toned down slightly with brick red, and at this point looked like this:
A final drybrush was added using just red, to give the final colour:
Details were then painted onto the ship; a pair of gold bands was added to the hull at the rear edge of the forward hull, and to the aft hull just forward of the warp engines. These were then outlined with thin black lines. The Kzinti symbol was painted on top of the ship's forward hull, and outlined in grey. The base was then painted black. Finally, the ship was given a coat of matt varnish, and left to cure. The finished result is about 23mm long, and looks like this:
Finally, I took a couple of pictures of the two ships together, so you can see what they will look like in play:
I hope you all enjoyed this rather lengthy post, comments and questions welcome

Thanks guys, glad you like them
I've noticed I got the triangle symbol on the Gorn BC's forward saucer the wrong way up... I always do that - maybe I'm thinking of the WW2 Dutch air force markings. I'm now in the process of re-painting that the other way up, anyway.

The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, with three cases diagnosed in the United States, has generated tremendous public fear and anxiety in the United States and other countries. The Obama administration has restricted air travel from West Africa to five airports with enhanced screening, amid calls for a complete travel ban. The Policy Beat examines the use of U.S. immigration controls to halt the spread of disease.
Recent surges in the arrival of unauthorized migrants with possible humanitarian claims have prompted the United States and the European Union to consider in-country and offshore processing for some refugee and asylum applications. As this article explores, some of the questions raised about the feasibility of such programs include their consistency with humanitarian law and their effectiveness in reducing unwanted entries.
The Migration Information Source has published a series of special issues that focus on particular migration trends of note, among them "Migration in the Modern Chinese World," "Women and Migration," and a special issue on migration and development. Check out our Special Issue Library.

This article also explores President Obama's decision to order a review of deportation policies, Chile's admission into the Visa Waiver Program, and more.
The small window for enactment of a major U.S. immigration overhaul during 2014 seems to have closed. A trial balloon testing House Republicans' willingness to proceed this year was quickly floated and dropped. Amid a focus on politics and timing, less noted was the reality that for the first time, House Republican leaders have affirmed support for a policy that would move the party closer to compromise over the most vexing question holding up immigration reform: what to do with the nation's unauthorized immigrants.
While some argue that the clock has run out on immigration reform in the 113th Congress, which runs through 2014, others counter that the finish line remains in sight.
With the state of Alabama's recent legal settlement ensuring that key portions of its highly contested immigration enforcement law will never take effect, an important chapter of heightened activism by states in immigration enforcement has drawn to a near close. This article explores Alabama's decision, which traces its roots to the Supreme Court's 2012 ruling in Arizona v. United States, as well as the Infosys civil settlement with federal prosecutors over its use of foreign workers, new refugee admission numbers, extension of Temporary Protected Status for Somalis, and more.
While budget issues and the debt ceiling dominated the congressional agenda and public attention last week, thousands of activists in Washington were stepping up civil disobedience and mobilization tactics to pressure lawmakers into voting to overhaul the nation's immigration system. This article explores this growing trend and its possible implications for immigration reform in the 113th Congress. It also provides an update on other national, state, and local developments in immigration policy.

(Shit - Axe) The overwhelming, sense-attacking, smell that results from a rapid fire farting session, involving two or more males, which is then attempted to be covered up by spraying an inappropriately large amount of Axe spray deoderant.
Nick, after spraying Axe to cover up a recent farting session, realized only too late that no good would come of it... only the terrible Shax smell.
