- 100% Polyester

- Twin comforter in size 66x86 and one standard sham 20x30.
- Full/Queen comforter in size 86x86 and two standard shams 20x30.
- King comforter in size 100x90 and two standard sham 20x36.
I bought this item and found it to be light weight, and it matches all of my sheets. I found it to be a great buy. Makes a wonderful gift for either male or female, even a great wedding gift. When I first seen it I didn't have to guess. I will buy another one once Sears has the size I want.
Bought this for a twin bed in a guest room Colors are true and it adds a brightness to the room.
I just received this item and its very disappointing. I ordered it size King and its more like Queen size. The fabric is so thin and super wrinkled. The stuffing inside of the fabric is found near the 4 corners of the comforter in form of balls like cotton balls. The comforter looks and feels horrible. Its not well made and of poor quality. The only thing that was true was the colors that you see on the website. I am going to return this item and get a full refund. I definitely can not recommend this comforter to others.....
I bought this item and found it to be light weight, and it matches all of my sheets. I found it to be a great buy. Makes a wonderful gift for either male or female, even a great wedding gift. When I first seen it I didn't have to guess. I will buy another one once Sears has the size I want.

This set is great for anyone starting out or for a spare bedroom. Will be great in the summer too as it is light and comfortable.

My 15 year old son currently has a twin bed but I purchased this set in full/queen as I plan to get him a full size bed in the near future. It has a nice set of colors from which he can choose the new color scheme for his room. It's has a bit of a sheen but also feels soft, which has me worrying a bit about how it will stand up to washing. I picked it up at the store, which went very smoothly and the staff that assisted me was very courteous. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this today for my 5 year old son. I accidentally got a full/queen when I meant to get a twin. But I'm happy I did that because he will be changing to a full next year and it's really not too big! I just pushed the longer side down behind his bed. It's soft and nice and I read the reviews about it keeping color so that's good. For 19.99?!?! heck yeah!!

I have been using this comforter for over a month. Bought it at a sears store. The comforter has a good feel and provides decent warmth.

I have washed this comforter twice and it has not lost color.

The prices for twin, queen and king are same. So, if you are looking for a twin size one, get a king size comforter and fold it so you get a double thickness one for the same price.

I am going to pick up another one of these comforters today. Would certainly recommend this at the current price of $19.99.

Elite curls from a high performance tool.
The Diva Session Instant Heat Tong is a 32-mm curling tong with a ceramic barrel that's been hardened with nano diamond to make it tremendously durable. It's chock-full of other professional features too and has been built with the finest components and Diva's passion for excellence to create a truly elite tong.
The Session Tong's temperature can be varied between 80°C and 230°C using plus and minus buttons on the handle. There's a digital display that shows the actual temperature and the set temperature as well as an indicator light that shows when the tong is ready for use.
A clever memory feature means that the tong can remember the last temperature it was set to. Regardless of what that is, heat-up is so rapid you'll barely have time to wonder where you've put your thermal spray and heat recovery is instant.
Safety has also been considered, with a cool tip that stops you burning your fingers and a heat-resistant glove and heat-proof silicone mat included with every Session Tong. There's also an intelligent auto shut-off that turns off your tong if it's left unused for too long.
The Session Tong comes in stylish matt black with a 3-metre cord that'll keep your styling unrestricted and is compatible with international voltages for those overseas sessions!

Where can I buy a thermal pad?
I went to replace my GPU thermal pad with AS5, only to later read that there is no contact between the heatsink and the gpu since the thermal pad was thicker. Right now I have extra AS5 just to make contact, but I know thats a crude way, especially since my gpu idle temp is 80C. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement thermal pad or copper shim? Thanks.

- 0Sep 26, '04 by talaxandraInterested in further education but not sure what's available or not tempted by the local offerings?
www.goodguides.com.au lets you search for any course, anywhere in Australia (and I mean any - apprenticeship to PhD). For example, tonight I looked up epidemiology courses: I chose the 'medical' field of study option ('nursing' didn't get any matches, even though you don't have to be an MD to get into the courses), selected all the states (by holding down Cntrl as I scrolled), then chose 'any' mode of study, before typing 'epidemiology' into the course name box. There are four post-graduate epidemiology courses offered in Australia, one by distance.
I then clicked each hit for further information. Here's what you get:
Master of Medical Science - Clinical Epidemiology University of Newcastle
Attendance - External
Qualification - Master Degree (By Coursework)
Description - This course provides a strong research capacity, an advanced understanding of epidemiological concepts and knowledge of the applications of methods in biostatistics, social sciences and economics.
Structure - Eight 10 unit courses, and a 40 unit Minor Thesis; OR twelve 10 unit courses.
Subjects - Clinical epidemiology; Pharmacoepidemiology; Molecular and genetic epidemiology; Epidemiology of communicable disease; Nutritional epidemiology;
Entry Requirements - Relevant bachelor degree; Grad Dip in Clinical Epidemiology; computer literacy
HECs - HECs applies to this course
Course Fee Comments - International distance learning fees are $1575 per 10 units. Postgraduate Education Loans Scheme (PELS) funding available to Australian citizens and holders of an Australian permanent visa.
Australian Student Fees - Fee-paying places available
Enrolment Enquiries - email@example.com
Related Jobs - Health Promotion Officer, Medical Scientist
The only annoying thing is that they don't have web links to the course page, so you do have to find the institution site and then search a bit.
On the up side, it's amazing what's out there!Last edit by talaxandra on Sep 26, '04

Unmistakable messages from the universe arrive.
Nobody likes to come home to a mess, and it's even worse when that mess involves death. Even more annoying is finding it after coming home from a long enough flight at 1 a.m. and just wanting to crash. Today, that was a dead mouse, and it was so far gone, there were giant maggots carrying it. I noticed that because while staring at it in utter repulsion, I saw it was moving sideways.
Examine the scene below closer, you'll realized it had actually died closer to the door, but it was so dead, the maggots had already moved in and moving it off. GROSS!!!!!! GROSS!!!!!! GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Offer: Empowering Women and Girls Through ICT at Libraries
Despite the rapid increases in access to technology in developing countries, one distinct gap remains: Women and girls do not have equal access to technology, and they lack the capacity to use information and communication technologies to build social capital.
Many international organizations have established initiatives intended to help girls and women access technology and technology training. These programs are critical pieces of the campaign to foster girls' ICT skills, but they often overlook and underuse a potentially valuable resource that could help scale and institutionalize women's and girls' access: Public libraries.
This brief examines the role (potential and actual) that libraries play in promoting gender equity, with a specific focus on access to technology. Examples from Uganda, Honduras, and Ukraine show that libraries are a safe, stable space for women and girls to work, learn, socialize, and gain digital skills.
i need to know more about this!
pls,can i know more about this offer?

"All I know is that a man killed my brother," says the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) in the new "final" theatrical trailer for Gore Verbinski's summer blockbuster, which seems out to prove that sometimes you don't need anything more than some trains and horses to make a thrilling adventure movie.
Up until this point, the trailers for The Lone Ranger seem to have assumed that everyone would know the basic story of the 1950s television series, or at least want to know why a dirt-covered Armie Hammer would be waking up on top of some very unstable looking scaffolding. Disney's taken a different approach for the final theatrical trailer, teasing a little bit of back story before getting to Johnny Depp's Tonto, the Lone Ranger's disenchantment with the law, and all those epic train sequences.

(UNDATED) Serbia gave the USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team all it wanted Wednesday at 2013 FIBA U19 World Championships, as the U.S. had to scratch and claw its way to a 71-62 triumph at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.
The U.S. came into Wednesday's game carrying an intimidating 50.2-point margin of victory, defeating Ivory Coast, China, Russia, Brazil and Australia with relative ease.
Serbia and point guard Vasilije Micic – who finished with a game-high 24 points – refused to back down.
Tennessee rising junior Jarnell Stokes was held scoreless for the first time this summer, but he did manage five rebounds (four offensive) and a steal in the winning effort.
The Memphis, Tenn., native is averaging 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 steal while playing just 12.7 minutes per game at the championship.
Team USA (6-0) now gets to rest on its Independence Day. Quarterfinal play begins Friday, with semifinals on Saturday and the gold-medal game Sunday. Free live stats for every game at the U19 championship are available at: www.prague2013.fiba.com
Serbia on Wednesday provided the toughest for the Americans thus far at the championship. The Serbs entered the day allowing just 50.4 points per game, and they led for a portion of the first quarter.
But the U.S. – with several of its key contributors battling foul trouble – had taken a 19-15 edge by the end of the first stanza and had a 35-26 lead at halftime. Team captain Marcus Smart of Oklahoma State had three fouls in the first half.
Through Team USA's first five games in Prague, its success has hinged on its pressure defense and frontcourt dominance. And Wednesday vs. Serbia, the U.S. had attempted just one 3-point shot through the first 30 minutes of play. And the Americans ended the day with only two attempts from beyond the arc.
Thanks in part to stellar play from Micic, Serbia made it a three-point game with less than two minutes to play in the third quarter. The Serbs actually outscored the U.S. 21-15 in the third.
The Americans never surrendered their lead in the second half, but the outcome was in question until the closing minutes.
Beginning with Friday's quarterfinals, all remaining games at the championship will be available via live web stream, for a fee, at www.livebasketball.tv.

Phase 2: Add more functionality.
Once your basic IPT system is up and running smoothly, it may be time to consider enhancing its functionality with new tools and features. Some possibilities include the following:
- A virtual private network. VPN connectivity allows employees to connect securely over the internet to your business's IP network from home, a hotel room, a client's office or other location. With a VPN, workers have mobile, highly secure access to your company's network for all communications including data, voice, video and fax.
- Softphones. A softphone is software that allows you to make and receive voice calls on your computer using a connected headset and microphone. You can use your IPT system for voice on your laptop anywhere you've got a broadband internet connection.
- Wireless networking and wireless IP phones. Your IPT system could also include wireless access points, which create a wireless network. Together with wireless IP phones, mobile workers have secure anytime, anywhere access to the IPT system. For example, using a wireless IP phone, a store clerk assisting a customer on the floor could quickly access the store's database to see if an item the customer wants is in the stockroom, on order or discontinued.
- Video. On a converged IP network, it's easier and more affordable than you'd think to add video-enabled applications, because support for video is built into the network. Also, advanced routers for small businesses enable you to add video applications to the network without an expensive equipment upgrade. Even though you may assume you don't need video, you might be surprised how effective it can be at improving operations, sales, customer relations and other areas. With a video conference, for example, you could demonstrate a new product in development to the far-flung members of your remote sales force. Video on your IPT system could also allow you to monitor a remote site, such as a small store, to assess staff performance.
- Applications that support integrated voice and data. Some applications developed for IPT systems integrate applications, such as instant messaging, calendaring and presence (the ability to see if an individual in your organization is online) with audio or video conferencing. By quickly identifying which members of your team are at their desks through a presence application, you can easily set up ad hoc conference calls with remote staff and exchange information via instant messaging during the conference.
- Contact centers. An IPT system can provide the foundation for creating a contact center to streamline communications with customers. Contact center technology provides sophisticated call routing and the ability to have online chats with customers and to deliver messages to callers informing them of expected hold time, among other features.
- Advanced security. In phase 1, your IP network routers provide the security you need. But as you add functionality, you should also add security appliances, such as dedicated firewall devices that provide even more layers of protection.
Phase 3: Tie in business applications.
In phase 3, you might consider integrating business applications into your IPT system. It's easy and inexpensive to accomplish and can help make your small business look big to outsiders.
For example, you could tie integrated voice response (IVR) software to your IPT system. IVR technology provides voice prompts to incoming callers. A caller responds to the prompts either by speaking or using the telephone keypad. The responses provide valuable information about the caller's reasons for contacting the company, which is delivered to a contact center operator before he or she even answers the call.
Many small businesses have connected a customer relationship management (CRM) system to their IPT solution to better understand their customers' habits and needs. CRM software provides a database for capturing and analyzing information about your customers.
Linking CRM and IPT can enhance customer satisfaction--and that often leads to increased sales. For instance, when a call comes in, a pop-up window of the customer contact record appears on a contact center representative's IP phone screen, computer display or both. Before the second ring, the representative has access to information about the customer who's calling, such as orders pending and recent returns. Having instant access to an incoming caller's record can lead to faster problem resolution as well as increased sales. For instance, the call center representative may notice the caller hasn't ordered a particular product lately and could provide the caller with a discount on the spot.
As with phase 2, you should increase security on your network in phase 3--especially if you link a CRM solution to your IPT system. In fact, for some industries, such as health care, retail and financial services, there are strict regulations regarding the security of computerized customer records.
Managing the IPT System
If any of this seems daunting to you, don't worry. A small-business IPT system can provide plug-and-play functionality, which helps reduce setup time and optimize network settings. Look for a system with an intuitive interface that allows for quick configurations of telephony, messaging, switching, wireless LAN, firewall, security services and other elements. Many value-added resellers specializing in IPT systems can help you implement the system that's right for your business.
Also, keep in mind you don't need to spend thousands upfront or add an IPT specialist to your payroll. A hosted or managed IPT system will provide you with IPT equipment and expertise at affordable monthly rates.
The bottom line: An IPT system is easier than you might think to acquire, deploy and maintain. And it can go a long way toward making your small business look--and become--big.

One of the more civilized, practical supercars on the market. A blistering performer.
The 2015 Nissan Murano may not be cutting edge in tech, but it certainly looks that way in style, and makes for a comfortable all-around crossover, as capable on the daily commute as it is for a week-long road trip.
With its concept-like styling, the 2015 Murano stands out from the crossover crowd, and offers comfort for five passengers.
The 2015 Nissan Juke Nismo RS confers bragging rights for its 215 horsepower engine, but the lesser trim Juke Nismo looks like a better value for those wanting a funky compact SUV with excellent handling.
With standout design, the Murano stands out from the herd, while making for a comfortable all-around car.
We go inside Nissan's giant manufacturing plant in Sunderland to see every step of its process -- from huge lumps of metal to shiny, running cars.
The NISMO RS version of the Nissan Juke should prove to anyone that the Juke is a sports car. This special edition gets power and handling enhancements taking it to the next level.
The minuscule Nissan Juke gets tuned up by the folks at Nismo, getting it up to 215 horsepower and gaining the RS letters to denote its superiority in the lineup.
The 2014 Nissan Rogue comes out with many tech features not available among the competition and offers excellent utility for an economy crossover, but it could use further refinement, such as better integration for connected features.
The Nissan Rogue, all new for 2014, offers LED headlights, Google search for navigation, and a host of other tech features.

BELVIDERE (WIFR) – Some Belvidere students have raised thousands of dollars for a charity that provides clean water to villages in other countries.
The DECA chapter at Belvidere High School chose to sharpen their entrepreneurial skills by holding fundraisers for Water.org.
Over the last month, all of the funds from a comedy night, exhibits and a battle of the bands were saved to donate to the charity.
"To recognize that this donation is going to provide 600 people with access to clean water for a lifetime, it's really amazing," said senior Haley Gustafson.
In total, students raised $15,000 to hand over to Water.org.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Oberholzer, Corne URN etd-10072003-113621 Document Title Quality management in forensic accounting Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr J Aspinall Committee Chair Keywords
- total quality management
- forensic accounting
Date 2002-11-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe discipline of forensic accounting in South Africa suffers from a lack of professional standards and regulation. The hypothesis of the study is that this has contributed to poor quality of service delivery and, consequently, a lack of credibility. The purpose of the research was to test the hypothesis, identify the drivers of quality, and develop a model for the management of service quality in a forensic practice. Empirical research confirmed the hypothesis. The proposed quality model incorporates the research results and best practice in quality management in professional services firms. A strategy is suggested for the implementation and integration of the model, using a broad Total Quality Management framework. Macro-environmental forces, such as regulatory, public and legal pressure on the auditing profession, to assume responsibility for fraud detection in financial reporting, are discussed. The need for a tailored regulatory framework for the discipline in South Africa is emphasised.

The Austin City Council Friday passed a $385 million bond package to present to voters this November.
Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell said the council had to make tough decisions during the process and prioritize projects. Earlier this week, council members were deadlocked on the details of the bond package, particularly the burden it could place on Austin taxpayers.
While council only approved $385 million, the city had $1.5 billion in needs. City leaders were forced to make cuts to certain projects to stay at the $385 million mark, which they say means Austinites won't see a tax hike.
However, not everyone in the city is happy with the cuts.
Residents of the Dove Springs neighborhood in southeast Austin say it's time for their voices to be heard, but their wishes for new police substation were cut from the bond proposal. Members of the community protested outside of city hall Friday, saying public safety could be at risk if the area continues to be neglected.
"In the past years, we have had an increment of about 40 percent of our population in Dove Springs, and our crime rate has gone up a lot, and we don't have a police substation. They removed that 10 years ago," southeast Austin resident Isabel Rios said.
Austin police are still trying to find a way to effectively patrol the area, and say it will be an issue to be considered in the future, but likely not this year. The Dove Springs community still wants to seek neighborhood improvements, like after school programs for area youth, and that still could be achieved through the city's budget process.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

MarkMonitor infiltrated by Syrian hackers targeting Facebook
The corporate brand protection registrar MarkMonitor was reportedly hacked yesterday by the group calling itself the Syrian Electronic Army, in an unsuccessful attempt to take out Facebook.
While MarkMonitor refused to confirm or deny the claims, the SEA, which has been conducting a campaign against high-profile western web sites for the last couple of years, tweeted several revealing screenshots.
One was a screen capture of a DomainTools Whois lookup for facebook.com, which does not appear to have been cached by DomainTools.
Happy Birthday Mark! http://t.co/yWBwvXPGRZ owned by #SEA http://t.co/gk8nGxATLt pic.twitter.com/eAeGp1TvBF
— SyrianElectronicArmy (@Official_SEA16) February 5, 2014
Another purported to be a cap of Facebook's control panel at the registrar.
MarkMonitor Administration Panel. #SEA pic.twitter.com/7zDbUxHbYJ
— SyrianElectronicArmy (@Official_SEA16) February 6, 2014
The SEA tweeted more caps purporting to show it had access to domains belonging to Amazon and Yahoo!.
In response to an inquiry, MarkMonitor rather amusingly told DI "we do not comment on our clients — including neither confirming nor denying whether or not a company is a client."
This despite the fact that the company publishes a searchable database of its clients on its web site.
The attackers were unable to take down Facebook itself because the company has rather wisely chosen to set its domain to use Verisign's Registry Lock anti-hijacking service.
Registry Lock prevents domains' DNS settings being changed automatically via registrar control panels. Instead, registrants need to provide a security pass phrase over the phone.
First URS case decided with Facebook the victor
Facebook has become the first company to win a Uniform Rapid Suspension complaint.
The case, which dealt with the domain facebok.pw, took 37 days from start to finish.
This is what the suspended site now looks like:
The URS was designed for new gTLDs, but .PW Registry decided to adopt it too, to help it deal with some of the abuse it started to experience when it launched earlier this year.
Facebook was the first to file a complaint, on August 21. According to the decision, the case commenced about three weeks later, September 11, and was decided September 26.
I don't know when the decision was published, but World Trademark Review appears to have been the first to spot it.
It was pretty much a slam-dunk, uncontroversial decision, as you might imagine given the domain. The standard is "clear and convincing evidence", a heavier burden than UDRP.
The registrant did not respond to the complaint, but Facebook provided evidence showing he was a serial cybersquatter.
The decision was made by the National Arbitration Forum's Darryl Wilson, who has over 100 UDRP cases under his belt. Here's the meat of it:
The only difference between the Domain Name, facebok.pw, and the Complainant's FACEBOOK mark is the absence of one letter ("o") in the Domain Name. In addition, it is well accepted that the top level domain is irrelevant in assessing identity or confusing similarity, thus the ".pw" is of no consequence here. The Examiner finds that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to Complainant's FACEBOOK mark.
To the best of the Complainant's knowledge, the Respondent does not have any rights in the name FACEBOOK or "facebok" nor is the Respondent commonly known by either name. Complainant has not authorized Respondent's use of its mark and has no affiliation with Respondent. The Domain Name points to a web page listing links for popular search topics which Respondent appears to use to generate click through fees for Respondent's personal financial gain. Such use does not constitute a bona fide offering of goods or services and wrongfully misappropriates Complainant's mark's goodwill. The Examiner finds that the Respondent has established no rights or legitimate interests in the Domain Name.
The Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith.
The Domain Name was registered on or about March 26, 2013, nine years after the Complainant's FACEBOOK marks were first used and began gaining global notoriety.
The Examiner finds that the Respondent has engaged in a pattern of illegitimate domain name registrations (See Complainant's exhibit URS Site Screenshot) whereby Respondent has either altered letters in, or added new letters to, well-known trademarks. Such behavior supports a conclusion of Respondent's bad faith registration and use. Furthermore, the Complainant submits that the Respondent is using the Domain Name in order to attract for commercial gain Internet users to its parking website by creating a likelihood of confusion as to the source, sponsorship or affiliation of the website. The Examiner finds such behavior to further evidence Respondent's bad faith registration and use.
The only remedy for URS is suspension of the domain. According to Whois, it still belongs to the respondent.

Who really uses IDNs? [Guest Post]
Are Internationalised Domain Names really useful, or just a way for an ASCII-focused internet governance community to feel better about itself?
Beyond all the hoopla about ICANN's 2009 program to enable countries to operate their own non-Latin script internet suffixes (aka the "IDN ccTLD Fast Track"), what should really matter is the Internet user.
Yes, those sitting in ICANN meeting rooms at the time, listening to the hyperbole about how the internet was now going truly global probably felt like they were feeding the hungry and bringing peace to the world. But do people actually use IDNs?
I will admit that at the time, I was dubious. Of course, saying so in ICANN circles would have been akin to wearing a "Camembert is bad" t-shirt in the streets of Paris: poor form! But still, I couldn't help ask myself if having a single one-language system unite the world was actually such a bad thing?
"How would you like it if the Internet had been invented in China and you had to use their alphabet," was the usual rebuke I got if I ever dared to doubt out loud. And there really is no arguing with that. If the internet was Chinese, I'd want the Mandarin version of ICANN to roll out IDNs pretty sharpish.
Nonetheless, can the usefulness of IDNs still be questioned?
Facebook in Latin
Talking to a local internet expert whilst attending last week's excellent Domain Forum in Sofia, Bulgaria, the answer would seem to be a surprising yes.
"Why would kids in this country use IDNs," I was told when I suggested that, surely, Bulgaria must be excited about the prospect of natural language web addresses. "What worries the authorities here is the fact that kids are using Latin scripts so much on social media sites that they don't even know how to write in Cyrillic anymore! So even if they could use IDN web and email addresses, why would they? They want to communicate like everyone else does on Facebook."
In truth, Bulgaria's view may be skewed by the horrible experience it's had with ICANN's IDN Fast Track. The country was refused its own IDN country code due to a perceived similarity with another TLD that no-one in Bulgaria really feels is warranted. But not all potential IDN users feel they are useless. Neighbors in Russia tell of a different IDN experience.
The Russian registry saw stunning initial take-up when it opened the IDN .РФ (.RF for Russian Federation) to general consumption on November 11, 2010. Registration volumes were explosive, with almost 600,000 names registered in the first month. Strong growth continued for a year, hitting a peak of 937,913 registered names in December 2011.
No profit
But the following month, that number fell off a cliff. Total registrations dropped to 844,153 in January 2012. "Initial registrations were driven in part by speculators," explains ccTLD .RU's Leonid Todorov. "But when people saw they couldn't make huge profits on the domains, they started letting them go."
Even so, .РФ remains a real success. Although November 2012 figures show a year on year decline of 8.63%, the TLD still sports a whopping 845,037 names.
At 66%, .РФ has a slightly lower renewal rate than ASCII Russian equivalent .ru (73%), probably because of those day-one speculators, but it remains widely used. Current delegation figures (i.e. the number of domain names that are actually used for email or websites) stand at a commendable 70% and have not stopped rising since .РФ opened in 2010 with a 45% delegation rate.
The Cyrillic Russian domain sees a vast predominance of personal use, with 77% percent of domains being registered by individuals. "Russians care deeply about their national identity," says my Bulgarian friend when I suggest that IDNs do seem to matter in some Cyrillic-using countries. "To them, Dot RF is a matter of national pride."
National pride
So IDNs may not really be all that different from ASCII domain names, with take-up depending on perceived use or value. Europe's IDN experience seems to confirm this, as European registry EURid's Giovanni Seppia explained in Sofia.
He revealed that since EURid introduced IDNs on December 11, 2009, registrations reached a peak of around 70,000 (a mere fraction of the 3.7 million names currently registered in the .eu space) before dropping off quite sharply.
Why? Well .eu IDNs may not hold much potential for real use or investment value for Europeans. Although web use is possible with IDNs, software primarily designed for an ASCII-only world does not always make it easy.
Email capability would be a real boost, but so far only the Chinese seem to have enabled it for their local script domains. The Chinese registry recently announced this, without giving details on how the use of all-Chinese character email addresses has been implemented or which email clients support IDNs.
Whatever the technology, countries which combine national pride and a character set far removed from our own probably see more desire for IDNs. With two years of hindsight, Russia obviously loves its IDN. And as other countries like China bring more elaborate IDN capabilities online, demand should grow and force even this IDN skeptic to recognize the new character(s) of the internet.
This is a guest post written by Stéphane Van Gelder, strategy director for NetNames. He has served as chair of the GNSO Council and is currently a member of ICANN's Nominating Committee.
Facebook gTLD ruled out by ICANN director vote?
While Google recently confirmed its new top-level domain plans, an ICANN director has given a big hint that rival Facebook has not applied for any new gTLDs.
Director Erika Mann, head of EU policy at Facebook in Brussels, voted on ICANN's "digital archery" method of batching new gTLD applications at the ICANN board meeting March 28.
Because ICANN's new conflict of interest rules require directors to recuse themselves during votes on matters affecting their own businesses, this could be taken as a pretty strong indication that Facebook is not applying for a new gTLD.
If Mann was aware of a .facebook or other Facebook gTLD bid, I think there's a pretty strong chance she would have not have participated in the digital archery decision.
At least one director whose employer is believed to have applied for a dot-brand gTLD, IBM's Thomas Narten, did not attend the March 28 meeting.
Sébastien Bachollet, Steve Crocker, Bertrand de La Chapelle, Ram Mohan, George Sadowsky, Bruce Tonkin, Judith Vazquez, Suzanne Woolf and Kuo-Wei Wu also did not attend.
The March 28 board meeting was the first one with new gTLD program votes that Mann has participated in since the new conflict rules were introduced in December.
The news is obviously a couple of weeks old, but I think it's worth mentioning now in light of the fact that social networking competitor Google revealed earlier this week that it will apply for some gTLDs.
Google confirms new gTLD bids
Google will apply for several new generic top-level domains, according to a report in AdAge.
The company will apply for some dot-brands, and possibly some keywords, the report indicated.
"We plan to apply for Google's trademarked TLDs, as well as a handful of new ones," the spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
AdAge speculates that .google and .youtube would be among the applications, which seems like a fair assumption.
The revelation comes despite the fact that Google engineers recently stated that there would be no guaranteed search engine optimization benefits from owning a gTLD.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if keywords representing some of Google's services, such as .search and .blog, are also among its targets.
The total cost to Google is likely to run into millions in ICANN application fees alone.
It will also be interesting to see which registry provider — if any — Google has selected to run its back-end.
Google is one of the few companies out there that could scratch-build its own registry infrastructure without breaking a sweat.
The AdAge report also quotes Facebook and Pepsi executives saying they will not apply.

Updated Laser Rangefinder/Designator From Northrop Grumman, DRS Technologies Completes Successful Flight Testing
APOPKA, Fla., April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Following flight testing at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Yuma, Ariz., the Mast Mounted Sight-Diode Pumped (MMS-DP) Laser Rangefinder/Designator (LRF/D) developed by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) and partner DRS Technologies successfully demonstrated its capabilities for the U.S. Army.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/LA98563LOGO)
The MMS-DP LRF/D is designed as a drop-in replacement for the legacy MMS LRF/D, which was also produced by Northrop Grumman. The system allows the U.S. Army's hunter-killer helicopter teams to remain concealed while acquiring and illuminating targets and guiding Hellfire and other laser-guided munitions to those targets from much greater stand-off ranges.
"With the ability to easily replace legacy systems that have been in use for 25 years and commonality in the core design that supports other Army platforms, we are confident this system will meet a variety of needs," said Gordon Stewart, vice president of Northrop Grumman's Laser Systems business unit. "With the flight testing now complete and pending final approval by the government, we are prepared to move into production and deliver initial units."Using advanced diode pumped technology, the MMS-DP laser system performs the same range finding and targeting functions for laser-guided weapons as the legacy system with greater reliability and significantly lower power consumption. Additionally, its interchangeability with the legacy laser enables the Army's Forward Repair Activities to readily replace more than 600 original lasers with the modern, diode pumped version. For the flight testing, the MMS-DP laser system was installed on a Kiowa Warrior helicopter. The Army's testing fully exercised the system's capabilities, which included guidance of a live Hellfire missile to its target. Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned systems, cyber security, C4ISR, and logistics and modernization to government and commercial customers worldwide.

2) With a Mac 217 brush, load up your brush with Mac Deep Damson shadow, then sprayed a few squirts of Mac Fix+ spray on it. Dab the shadow onto the lower lid…don't worry if it's messy, we will blend out the harsh lines in step 3.
3) With a Mac 224 fluffy blending brush, apply Hepcat all the way along the crease & blend it up towards the brow. After this step you can apply a little more Deep Damson back on the lid of you want it bolder.
4) Run Deep Damson & Hepcat under the eyes. Also run a little Mylar or any ivory color under the brow for highlight. If you want shimmer, use Phloof under brow.
5) Apply eye liner, mascara, and lashes…fill in your brows and you're set!

U.S. stocks erased gains as energy and industrial stocks retreated, wiping out an earlier rally triggered by a jump in consumer confidence to a one-year high.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was little changed at 1,367.94 at 1:56 p.m. in New York after earlier rising as much as 0.4 percent.

I have to admit that each month after I turn in my completed column, I feel a sense of accomplishment - and relief - and am happy to click "complete" on my Outlook task list. But I swear, no sooner do I finish than it feels like Sally is reminding me when the next one is due. [Editor's note: Guilty as charged.] Not whining, just sayin'!
I keep a word document with a running list of potential topics for future columns. And each month, if need be, I'll open it up to try to get the creative juices flowing. I must admit, however, I've used up all my "extra" ideas except one. I've looked at this subject each month and for whatever reason, have decided not to use it - perhaps because I think a better topic has come along, or I fear I won't approach it in a "politically correct" way.
I know I don't have the answers to everything, and so instead of going it alone, I've decided to take my Grandpa's advice and ask for help. I'm going to turn the tables this month and ask you to brainstorm this particular subject matter with me. Here goes nothing ...
As an industry, we are very segmented. I believe our different specialty groups get along well enough, but I believe we tend to be like draft horses with blinders on, focused on only what we can see. It seems we're pulling in opposite directions when if we worked more as a team, we could accomplish twice as much to benefit our industry and ourselves.
I am proud to have been asked to play a small part of bringing diverse associations together. Lead by the vision, passion and persistence of Treasurer Kirk Brown of Joanne Kostecky Garden Design Inc. of Allentown, Penn., the Garden Writer's Association board of directors created a standing task force titled the "Association Outreach Initiative," of which I'll act as Chair.
This group is charged with reaching out to other industry groups to see how we can collaborate for the benefit of our members in areas such as education, membership services, networking and, maybe most importantly, increasing potential business for GWA members (and their counterparts in other organizations). This is a new initiative, and I look forward to seeing what doors can be opened.
I've talked in previous columns on how I feel we could be missing the boat when it comes to collaboration; in particular the green industry and two groups who have direct contact with consumers - garden writers and master gardeners. But there is another group who may be equally as important, who I also consider direct "influencers" of the gardening public; these are the landscape architects.
Before I go one step further, so as to not offend anyone, I consider landscape designers to be "influencers" just as valuable as LAs. However - and let me emphasize that this is my own experience - I find that landscape designers overall are a more approachable group who are involved in networking within our industry. I wonder if our passion for digging in the soil is a common bond that more easily connects us.
But, for whatever reason, I've always felt this great divide between the green industry and LAs, and I'm just not sure why. And therein lies my question: How do we, individually as companies and/or as an industry, successfully reach out and connect with landscape architects? How do we encourage more and better dialogue and face-to-face interaction?
Looking for answers, I attended the ASLA annual meeting and trade show in Chicago a few years back. A few encounters stood out:
Thus you can see that I left Chi-town even more confused than ever. But, my Grandma taught me to never give up, and I won't. I guess I just have to keep pecking away, trying to find the answer on how to connect with LAs. I hope it's an answer that will eventually come. As Robert Schuller said, "Failure doesn't mean you are a failure; it just means you haven't succeeded yet."

It has been a busy seven days; I became a Grandfather, resigned from my job, turned fifty and have just been offered a new job that I hadn't applied for. It is only part time and for three months, I turned down the chance of full time as I still have other irons in the fire. But I think it will be really interesting and the workplace is wonderful and fascinating. And there is every chance the contract will be extended.
However I will be a small speck on the cogwheels of State, with Her Majesty and Her Ministers as my ultimate employers and being a loyal and humble servant it is probably only fitting I am no longer rude about their infinite wisdom.
This isn't a "I will never blog again" post because this blog and you, the readers, have given me so much fun and education over the last seven years that it would be hard to draw it to a close. It just marks that there may be changes and unexplained haituses.
I go to get the uniform measured on Monday, wish me well and I hope to see you soon.
