I've been eyeing this pendant at**** home for a while now waiting for the price to drop from $454.99 - it finally did to $350. When I saw it here for $*** - I thought it may be a poor knock-off but I took a gamble and it's the same light fixture. It's a great transitional piece if you have a mix of contemporary and semi-traditional decor. The shade is more of a cream than a white but it's neutral enough to blend with many settings. It looks chic, expensive and current. The only downside was that the metal tube where you need to pass the wiring through the crystal ball base was very narrow and almost impossible to pass the wires through. The acrylic board had some minor cracks and the shade had some spots on it. I reached out to Overstock.com and replacements are on their way - what terrific service for terrific value!
I recently remodeled my master bed & bath and needed a ceiling fixture that matched my new lamps. This chandelier was perfect!! The cost was reasonable and though it did not come when promised, it was worth the 3 extra days of anticipation.
Extremely disappointed especially since I contacted Overstock customer service to have more info. This is a cheap copy of Quoizel, light and cheap material. So if you can afford the real one don't hesitate.
I based my purchase on the reviews. The light is a cheap knock off from the, or it is simply one of their rejects. If you pay more than $$ for this you will be disappointed. Problems: 1) 1/2 inch seam (over lap in fabric on shade) in light fabric ruins the lamp completely 2) The PLASTIC disc that covers the bottom of this light to hide the bulbs from sight is so so cheap, and does not fit with in the lapm shade but hovers below making it stand out even more as an unmatched eye sore. It looks so terrible, and yet without it you stare at the bare bulbs.The color of the disc is "white out white" which does match the ivory or cream shade, and the stark silver band around the disc overlaps creating a mismatched overlap which looks so cheap and poorly made. 3) The chain or adjustment piece for the chain must be used so you have a two tier or layered mount. It cannot simply be mounted once flush with the ceiling. This is such a terrible reject of a product. Please do not put this eye sore in your house. It is simply not worth even close to the $$$ that overStock is charging. Just forget this and do not waste your time. I would have rather paid 3-4 times what I paid and got a quality chandelier than to wait for this junk and pay another $$ to have it installed. It has to be a rejected product of or as they carry the same light and would never pass off this poor of a product.
This is so pretty!! It looks way more expensive than it really is! the quality if fabulous, I have it in my kitchen and I didn't need the chain so we took that off and just hung it at the base! It's perfect!!
Very nice without over kill.
looks more expensive than the price. easy for contractor to install. good hanging length.
Perfect choice for a clean uncluttered look. Simple without being boring.
You will NOT like the bottom plastic diffuser. It is covered in some sort of paper brown material and has ragged edges and totally cheapens the whole chandelier. Good points are, nice yellowish glow from the shade, lovely glass globes give it a contemporary look. I ordered a different diffuser online.
I was pleasantly surprised by this purchase. Looks like a more expensive lamp. Modern, clean lines. When lit, it emits a nice soft glow.

Our Best Bar Cookies
Salted Caramel, Chocolate and Peanut Cracker-Stack Bars [1]
These fantastic potluck bars come from Patrice Hurd of Bemidji, Minnesota. She won the grand prize in our 2012 Best of the Midwest® Recipe Contest. Patrice says they're a twist on her grandmother's cracker bars. They cut beautifully and brim with salty-sweet-nutty-chocolately flavor.
Maple-Walnut Banana Bars [5]
The math on these homey bars couldn't be simpler: one pan, one ripe banana and less than one hour from start to finish.
Caramel Heavenlies [9]
Graham crackers form the base for this bar cookie with layers of marshmallows, brown sugar, almonds and coconut. "I've made these cookies since 1984," says Georgine Simmonds of Genesee, Michigan. "They're one of my family's favorites."
Caramel Heavenlies [10]
Scrumptious Seven-Layer Cookies [13]
These rich bar cookies star among the sweets at Stafford's Bay View Inn in Petoskey, Michigan. Mix and match among your favorite treats for some of the layers to create a dessert that's just right for your family.
Peanut Butter Chip and Jelly Bars [17]
The flavor of these bars from Connie Siegel of Wisconsin will take you right back to your school lunchroom! If you don't like grape jelly, strawberry would work well, too.
Cranberry Candy-Bar Cookies [21]
These gooey bar cookies start with a German chocolate cake mix. Melted caramels and cranberry sauce form a moist middle layer.
Caramel and Chocolate Kettle-Corn Crispie Bars [25]
These bars, from Judy Reynolds of Bloomington, Indiana, won the grand prize of $10,000 in Midwest Living's first Best of the Midwest cook-off. Judy started with a Hoosier staple--popcorn--and stirred together these sweet-salty snack bars. Homemade caramel sauce helps makes them a standout.
Maple Nutty Candy [29]
These bar cookies combine four winning flavors: peanut butter, maple, butterscotch and chocolate. The easy recipe, from a Wabash, Indiana, reader, makes about 6 pounds of bar candy. We suggest freezing the bars and thawing them out as needed.
Maple Nutty Candy [30]
Lemon bars [33]

Triple Peanut Butter Streusel Bars [38]
Dry-roasted peanuts, peanut butter-flavored pieces and peanut butter bring triple flavor to this make-ahead bar cookie.
Cherry Crumble Pie Bars [42]

Date-nut desserts can be cloyingly sweet, but orange juice brightens these simple bars.
Date-Orange Bars [55]
Chocolate and peanut butter bars [58]
Chocolate and peanut butter naturally complement each other in these three bar cookie recipes. The Eagle Ridge Inn and Resort near Galena, Illinois, combines the flavors to make the candylike Hallelujah bars (left).
A Wisconsin reader sent us the recipe for Peanut Butter Fingers, which have rolled oats in addition to peanut butter and semisweet chocolate pieces. They're a great sweet ending to entrees and salads on a potluck table.
Merry Marshmallow Bars come from a Decorah, Iowa, reader, who combines semisweet chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallows for an easy-to-fix bar cookie that kids love.
Hallelujah Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars recipe [59]
Danish Pastry Apple Bars and more [64]
This recipe for Danish Pastry Apple Bars comes from an Indiana teacher who discovered these treats in a student's lunch box years ago. The student's family was happy to share the recipe; the results taste almost like apple pie.
After-School Apple Bars has a similar origin: A Michigan reader began making these when her son brought the recipe home from school. His third-grade teacher owned an orchard, and the class made this recipe after a bountiful apple harvest.
Frosted Apple-Pie Bars comes from a South Dakota reader who includes apples, sugar, cornflakes and spices in her filling.

Hopkins, Minnesota, calls itself America's Raspberry Capital and hosts an annual Raspberry Festival—including a cooking contest. One entry was this recipe for Raspberry Cheesecake Bars, which combines layers of cheesecake and raspberry filling in an almond crust.
Sour Cream Pumpkin Bars [78]
These are especially good in fall, but canned pumpkin makes them an any-time treat.
Holiday Seven-Layer Bars [82]
Chocolate, nuts, coconut and more fill our easy-to-make bar cookies. Mixed dried fruit bits and candy-coated milk chocolate pieces are among the layers that make this bar cookie distinctive.
Salted Peanut Squares [86]
Stir together just 6 ingredients for this easy-to-make treat. Peanuts top a rich layer of butter, marshmallows, peanut butter-flavored pieces, sweetened condensed milk, and peanut butter.
Easy Candy-Bar Treats [90]
A mix of popular ingredients--chocolate, caramel, and peanuts--makes this easy and delicious microwave candy.
Rhubarb Bars [94]
Cooks in the Midwest's Red River Valley learned early to take advantage of rhubarb. The tangy, celerylike ingredient grows well in a region where strawberries seldom thrive. This recipe comes from RBJ's Restaurant in Crookston, Minnesota.
Rhubarb Bars [95]
Cheesecake and chocolate [98]
When Midwest Living® asked readers to send in their favorite chocolate recipes, we received hundreds. The six winners included Brownie Bombs from a West Carrollton, Ohio, reader who tops her brownies with a cheesecake layer and then more chocolate batter.
Our Black-and-Tan Bars also combine cheesecake and chocolate, with a chocolate base and a swirled cheesecake-chocolate top.
Brownie Bombs recipe [99]
Carrot-Cake Bars [103]
Cake or bar cookie? Some recipes can be both. At her deli in Urbandale, Iowa, Carol Palmer prepares her mothers carrot-cake recipe in a sheet instead of layers. Then, she slathers the bars with everyone's favorite: cream cheese frosting. Cut into bars to serve.
Carrot-Zucchini Bars also taste like a moist cake but come in snack-bar size. The vegetables add fiber, and cranberries give the recipe a tangy edge. You can substitute raisins for the cranberries if you prefer.
The Cream Cheese-Carrot Bar recipe is a lower-fat version of the traditional carrot cake. It substitutes applesauce for part of the oil and uses egg product or egg whites to lower cholesterol.
Carrot-Cake Bars [104]
Carrot-Zucchini Bars [105]
Cream Cheese-Carrot Bars [106]

Lori Van Der Weele combined blueberries, butter, white baking pieces and almonds for this winner.
Blueberry-Almond Bars [110]
Toffee Bars [113]
These moist, easy brownies get a little extra crunch from a topping of toffee pieces.
Toffee Bars [114]

A Selby Gardens researcher goes where the wild things are.
Selby Botanical Gardens' manager of collections Bruce Holst chafes at comparisons to Indiana Jones, but how else to describe someone who braves mountains, rapids and poisonous snakes in search of rare plant species? Holst is currently enmeshed in a 20-year project to document the 10,000 species of plants in the Lost World of southern Venezuela. How dangerous is your work? On one trip, Africanized bees attracted to the salt in our sweat stung us 10-15 times a day for 30 days. We've had screw-worm maggots grow in our muscles and burrowing fleas that dig into heels and under toenails and produce pea-sized egg sacks if you don't dig them out with a needle. Also, the usual stuff.biting ants, snakes, scorpions. How's the food? In Peru, the Ashaninka Indians at the base of the Andes Mountains shared a starchy root-based home-brew fermented with spit. I don't recommend the monkey stew. So why do this? Our collection is a botanical ark of the productivity and diversity that make the natural world complex, stable, and enables humans to thrive. If we lose those elements as a result of greed and ignorance, our children will lose their quality of life. This research enables us to understand and conserve life on Earth. -Pat Haire
Hot Seat
Bill Hill, like so many successful businessmen, started bringing his family to Sarasota for vacations 17 years ago. When it came time to retire five years ago, he bought a house in exclusive Sanderling on Siesta Key. Now the golfing and travel have been done, and he's founded Dream Builders, which is developing homes in Newtown; gotten involved with the new Phoenix School; and is spreading the philosophy that propelled him from the projects in the District of Columbia to sunny Sarasota.
Q: What's Dream Builders?
A: A small company that's found a niche in building townhouses in north Sarasota. It's been wonderful for us. Our first project of seven townvillas is coming out of the ground as we speak, and it's sold out.
Q: North Sarasota? How racially segregated do you find this town?
A: I personally haven't experienced any segregation at all. I go where I want to go in Sarasota. In fact, I'm selling my house in Washington, D.C. to live here full time. However, some people born and raised here have a self-imposed legacy of separatism left over from Jim Crow. Really, there are just three determinants of the quality of our lives: education, health care and engaging the free market. Race is simply not a factor.
Q: What do you find most interesting about Newtown politics?
A: They're identical to local politics everywhere. There's not one iota of difference between politics in Newtown and on Siesta Key. But the Newtown community is now starting to understand how much muscle it can have. The truth is, most of the differences between the races are simply imagined. My color has been an asset since the day I was born. After all, I didn't know any white folks as a youngster in the projects, so there was no detriment there. And by the time I went to work the entire economy was looking for me-an honest, hard-working minority. So that's what up with that.
People have been helping me all my life and they're still doing it. I couldn't do much of what I've been doing without other people's help. People want to see all of us succeed.
Q: How important is the Hope VI federal grant to Newtown?
A: It's a catalyst for the economic revitalization of the community most disenfranchised in Sarasota. Revitalization is going to happen in Newtown with or without Hope VI, but Hope VI means the local community will have some real material influence.
Q: What will it take for you to feel successful in Newtown?
A: When the families who buy our homes say we've delivered on both the value we promised and the expectations that Newtown will become the place to live in Sarasota. I'm selling my Siesta Key house and moving into one of the villas I'm building.
Q: What keeps you awake at night?
A: Nothing. I'm 58 years old and I'm the American Dream. I can go anywhere I want, consume anything I want, and none of that is really important. My legacy is my two daughters and my grandchildren, Asante and Lake. That's it. That's what's important in life.-Bob Ardren
Best Bite
Fancy pants restaurants come and go in Sarasota, but for a taste of a genuine local institution, visit Sarasota's Waffle Stop on 301 any morning including (and maybe especially) Sunday. You'll find the city's real Old Guard sipping coffee around the horseshoe-shaped counter where Elvis once ate breakfast. There's even an "Elvis is in the Building" special of three eggs, meat and potatoes.
These days it's folks like businesswoman Edith Barr Dunn-who was the waitress serving Elvis here back in 1956-or maybe Marina Jack owner Bob Saraan, Sarasota heavyweight boxer China Smith or a cadre of Sarasota's finest, probably supporting Sarasota police detective Ken Halpin or officer Chris Panichello-co-owners with Dolly Hollinger, the pretty one in the group. She runs the place from behind that horseshoe-shaped counter.
Important note to first-time customers. Ignore the Viagra clock on the wall or some well-polished punch lines may be tossed your way from around the counter.
The food? Hey, it's great diner fare and the coffee is first rate, too. Don't forget to try the waffles and don't hesitate to collar (after all, there is a police connection here) local city or county commissioners and Sarasota Herald-Tribune staffers you'll often see getting their breakfast or lunches here.
It's a Sarasota institution in a town with ever fewer of them.-Bob Ardren
Burning Issue
Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport reports losing more than 30 percent of its passenger traffic in the past five years. Would you favor a modest property tax assessment devoted to preserving commercial airline service in Sarasota?
I'm against government subsidizing private enterprise. The airport is a user-fee-based business. If you decide to use Sarasota airport, you'll pay their fees; and if you drive to Tampa, you'll pay theirs. As traffic increases at nearby airports and they become more crowded with security measures and the like, Sarasota/Bradenton may become a more viable alternative.
Kerry Kirschner, executive director, The Argus Foundation
Yes. Right now people are driving to Tampa and Fort Myers to save a few bucks and for better service. I'd hate to see us lose the air service because I love to fly out of here.
Jim Wallace, retired United Airlines pilot and now proprietor of the New Pass Bait Shop & Grill
No. If you live in north Atlanta, you have to drive to south Atlanta to the airport. It only takes me 45 minutes driving to Tampa and 30 minutes to Sarasota. I don't believe it's a judicious use of tax dollars for an airport that's really unnecessary for the prosperity of our area.
Former State Sen. John McKay
The airport has a $40 million debt and now they want to spend $2 million to attract a new airline-and there's a serious possibility the airline will want more after that's used up or they'll leave. It's going to take a lot of community conversation before a decision can be made on this issue.
Mayor Ron Johnson, Longboat Key
I would do it to support the community more than the airport; because it's absolutely essential to have air service in Sarasota. And don't forget, the airport has an inordinate amount of expenses right now because of the increased security requirements.
Ron Ciaravella, president, Dolphin Aviation
No Lock-Out
Late last year the city's administration presented a plan to the city commission that would re-organize the office space and upgrade the "security" at city hall. Among other things, at the suggestion of Chief of Police Peter Abbott, it would have involved locking the city hall's front door and forcing people to come in through a side door past a security guard.
It didn't fly. Even the most tone-deaf of the city commissioners recognized the potential backfire of permanently locking the front door of city hall, for whatever reasons. And so the plan was re-drawn and the building's back door was locked-and will actually be removed-again for "security" purposes. But now the Sarasota citizenry will be able to approach city hall's front door and find it open.-Bob Ardren
Now Hear This
"In cursive?"
Question asked by nine-year-old Kuymuni Allen when asked to sign a guilty plea for bringing a loaded handgun to school (as reported in The Bradenton Herald).
Looking at Art
Pasture Picture
As many times as you come upon Rosa Bonheur's painting of cows plowing a field, it remains a startling work of art. Perhaps it's the scale-the painting is twice as wide as it is high, a horizontal format that's comfortable for our habit of reading narratives from left to right. Perhaps it's the contrast of the dark soil of the field with the elaborate gold gilt frame that elevates the scene to something monumentally important. Bonheur guarantees our notice by having the large white beast closest to us seem to stare at us. None of the workers pay us heed as they go about their task.
The challenge of working with animals in the hilly terrain is emphasized by seeing the men and beasts as they have reached a minor summit. The cows are the stars of this work of art. Based on the detail we can read in the muscles straining beneath their skin, we appreciate that Bonheur loved to paint animals.
This 1850 tribute to farming was a government commission. The artist intended to recognize everyday life outside the city. She painted three versions of this subject, the first and largest over-life-sized one now hanging across the river from the Louvre in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. As Sarasota's landscape continues to be developed, we may one day have to visit Gallery 19 of the Ringling Museum to be reminded of the farm life that is so much a part of Florida's economy.

Going Shopping
Communications consultant Linda Larsen dresses for success on $100.
Sarasota's Linda Larsen, who jets around the country presenting seminars on leadership and success, tells her audiences that how they dress speaks volumes about their competence and capability. We asked Larsen to put together an outfit that says "success" for $100 at discount retailer T.J. Maxx.
Larsen arrived looking great in a purple St. Johns ensemble with a simple amethyst jewel hanging from a gold choker and no evidence of perfume. She said she paid $1,400 for the St. Johns jacket, shell and pants, which she bought for a presentation to the annual conference of the Air-Conditioning Association of America, a group of about 1,500, most of them men. "I wanted a little pizzazz-the color and subtle sparkly threads in the fabric; and I wanted it to be fashion-forward-pants vs. a skirt and the shorter jacket length-but not in any way revealing or sexy," she explained. "A lot of consideration goes into choosing the right outfit."
We approached the "Career" section and found many jackets to build the "dress for success" look on. Linda noted brand names such as Kasper, Jones of New York, Anne Klein, Harve Bernard, DKNY, and Tahari as standards of quality and classic design. We loaded up the cart, and she ended up selecting a a soft sea-foam and beige tapestry jacket made by Kasper ($29.99). The jacket had three buttons and was cropped with a bit of a flare. It looked great on her. She pointed out that the length of the jacket sleeve should be just below the break in the wrist. If it isn't, have it altered to maintain that sharper image.
Since Linda prefers pants, she found a perfectly matched pair ($29.99) as well as a shell ($19.99), both in beige, made by Kasper. "For $80, we came up with a pretty good alternative to my St. John," she declared.
[] Save your money until you can buy one top-quality suit in a classic style, which makes it versatile and long-lasting.
[] Always have a black and tan basic suit (pants or skirt, whichever you look best in) in your closet to build on.
[] Avoid linens, which tend to wrinkle; they could be in your wardrobe for a more casual look.
[] Solid, conservative colors are best; keep away from stripes unless they are pinstripes.
[] Do not wear open-toed shoes to business events.
[] Invest in a good leather purse or briefcase and keep your jewelry simple-one ring on each hand, no dangly, sparkly pieces and nothing that jangles and clangs.
[] Focus on your audience. If they're young, be a little trendy; if it's a business meeting, look businesslike; if it's an older crowd, be conservative.

Surveillance video of the suspects involved in a bank robbery in Alsip on Monday. / photos from FBI
Article Extras
Updated: March 27, 2013 6:18AM
Four men who attempted to rob an Alsip bank Monday morning fled empty-handed when they thought authorities had been alerted, the FBI said.
Two men entered the Charter One Bank branch in the 12000 block of South Pulaski Road about 9:50 a.m. and were joined by two other men posing as customers waiting in line, FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde said.
The four then announced a robbery, and one man jumped over the teller counter and attempted to get cash, Hyde said.
However, the men believed police had been alerted and fled the bank without any cash, she said. No weapons were mentioned or displayed, and nobody was injured.
The suspects, who had their faces partially covered, were described as being in their early 20s, the FBI said.
A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects. Anyone with information should call the FBI at (312) 421-6700.
There have been 25 bank robberies in the Chicago area in 2013, according to the FBI. There were 218 in 2012.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Continued Stalemate in Syria
J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE/AFP/Getty Images
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (R) and Syrian dissidents in
Switzerland on Dec. 6
Several noteworthy events in the past few days, both inside and outside
Syria, fit STRATFOR's current assessment of the situation in Syria. U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met Syrian opposition leaders in
Geneva; Syrian President Bashar al Assad held his first interview with a
U.S. news outlet since the unrest in his country began; and skirmishes
allegedly took place between Syrian and Turkish troops. While al Assad's
forces cannot quell the unrest, the Syrian opposition cannot bring down
the regime without international assistance, which is not forthcoming.
As unrest continues in Syria, STRATFOR has observed several noteworthy
events, both inside and outside the country, in the past few days. These
include U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to Geneva to
meet with Syrian opposition leaders and reiterate U.S. calls for Syrian
President Bashar al Assad to step down; al Assad's first interview with
a U.S. news outlet since the beginning of the unrest; increasing appeals
for international assistance by the anti-regime Free Syrian Army; and
alleged skirmishes between Syrian and Turkish troops on their shared
All of these events fit STRATFOR's current assessment of the situation
in Syria: While Syrian protesters have been thus far unable to overwhelm
al Assad's forces, crackdowns by Syrian forces on demonstrators have
failed to quell the unrest. As long the Alawite-dominated military
remains united and loyal to the regime, the al Assad family stays
unified and the Baath party monopoly holds, al Assad will continue to
hold onto power, especially in the face of an opposition too weak to
topple the regime without international assistance.
Clinton Meets with Opposition Leaders in Geneva
During Clinton's Dec. 6 visit to Geneva, she echoed U.S. President
Barack Obama's August call for al Assad's resignation and met with
exiled leaders of the Syrian National Council (SNC), including its
leader, Burhan Ghalioun. During the meeting, Clinton informed SNC
leaders of international concerns that the group was not sufficiently
representative of the Syrian opposition as a whole and urged the group
to engage with anti-regime Syrians of every ethnicity and gender. The
Syrian opposition consists primarily of Sunnis, while Alawite and other
minorities still largely back the Syrian regime.
Also on Dec. 6, the U.S. State Department announced that U.S. Ambassador
to Syria Robert Ford was returning to his post after being removed six
weeks previously because of concerns for his safety. In the
announcement, the State Department said Ford's return to Damascus was
one of the most effective ways for the United States to show support for
the Syrian people. The United States is facing a lot of constraints and
the absence of a clear, viable opposition leaves Washington not yet
ready to sever ties with the regime.
The meeting - Clinton's second with members of the umbrella opposition
group since its formation - Clinton's remarks on al Assad, and the
announcement of Ford's return all fit Washington's goals of engaging
with the Syrian opposition rhetorically while avoiding concrete action.
For example, the United States has acknowledged the SNC as a legitimate
opposition group but has continued to stop short of officially
recognizing and endorsing the group as official representatives of the
Syrian people. Rumors also persist that Western countries, with Turkey's
help, will intervene in Syria by setting up a buffer zone or a no-fly
zone, but nothing so far indicates that any decision has been made to
undertake such plans.
The Propaganda War
From the international perspective, Western countries and their regional
allies already face significant strategic costs and uncertainties in
pushing for regime change in Syria. The Syrian opposition remains too
fractured, and even were it more cohesive, would still be too weak to
face the Alawite-dominated regime and military without Western
assistance. While the opposition cannot alleviate all Western worries,
there are three areas which they can and must address:
* The opposition remains divided and lacks a viable plan to force al
Assad's ouster - as well as any clear sign that it has the
cohesiveness, power and legitimacy necessary to keep a post-Assad
Syria from disintegrating into civil war.
* The opposition does not control territory in or contiguous to Syria
from which they can "safely" launch attacks, convene and gather
* Western countries' governments have not yet felt enough domestic
pressure to intervene.
The opposition is thus attempting to execute a strategy of creating an
image of unity while engendering domestic pressure on Western
governments. In so doing, the opposition has engaged the al Assad regime
in a propaganda war.
As part of this strategy, the SNC announced Nov. 28 that it had
established a joint commission with the Free Syrian Army (FSA), a group
mostly comprised of low- to mid-ranking Sunni soldiers who defected from
the Syrian military . In recent months, the FSA has become a key player
in both the anti-regime struggle and the propaganda war. Though its
cohesiveness and capabilities remain unclear, the FSA has claimed
responsibility for several military-style operations against regime
assets including armored vehicles, checkpoints and blockades . Just as
the SNC has an interest in portraying itself as a unified collection of
anti-regime groups, the FSA has an interest in portraying itself as a
protector of the Syrian people, and as a capable military force that
will not seek to coerce its way into power should the al Assad regime
fall. The joint commission thus serves both to solidify the relationship
between military and civilian anti-regime forces and to create a shared
plan and vision for the regime's ouster - though the degree to which the
FSA will follow this plan remains to be seen.
However, the regime is also using the FSA in its propaganda campaign,
claiming the group's members are "armed terrorists" and blaming it for
several attacks for which the FSA has not claimed credit. One example of
this propaganda battle occurred Dec. 8, when both Syrian state news
agency SANA and a United Kingdom-based Syrian activist group reported an
explosion at a crude-oil transfer pipeline in Homs. No individual or
group has claimed responsibility for the explosion, but SANA claimed it
was caused by terrorists. What actually happened is currently unclear;
the attack could have been perpetrated by the FSA or by regime soldiers,
or the explosion could have simply been an accident.
Another regime propaganda effort came in the form of al Assad's first
interview with U.S. media since the unrest began. In an interview with
ABC News in Damascus that aired Dec. 7, al Assad claimed to maintain
support from an overwhelming majority of Syrians and cast doubt on the
reliability of eyewitness reports and video footage taken of human
rights abuses by regime security forces. Al Assad's latter point is
nominally true: Claims from both the regime and the opposition are
generally difficult, if not impossible, to independently verify and thus
should not be taken at face value.
Turkey/Syria Border Skirmishes
SANA published a report Dec. 6 claiming that Syrian border security
forces clashed with an "armed terrorist group" on the Turkey-Syria
border, a skirmish that ended with the unknown assailants eventually
fleeing back into Turkey. A later Reuters report about the SANA report
included claims that the Turkish military had picked up wounded
assailants after they crossed back into Turkish territory. However,
STRATFOR could not find those claims on the SANA website. This followed
a Dec. 5 SANA report claiming that people armed with knives and stones
attacked Syrian vehicles crossing into Turkey. These attacks have not
been claimed by the FSA or by any other groups or individuals, and the
Turkish Foreign Ministry has denied the reports from Reuters of Turkish
military involvement. Then on Dec. 8, Syria closed its border gate with
the Turkish town of Nusaybin, though a Turkish town official said Syrian
officials had told him the closure was for maintenance.
These reports highlight Turkey's key role in the Syrian unrest. Ankara
has been vocal in calling for al Assad's resignation and has openly
hosted FSA officials, though it has denied Syrian reports that it is
arming the FSA. While Turkey has continued a strong rhetorical campaign
against the al Assad regime, Ankara faces the same constraints Western
countries do, if not more, when considering whether to intervene . In
fact, STRATFOR has noticed a recent moderation of Turkish rhetoric on
the potential for [IMG] foreign intervention in Syria . At this point,
Turkey's primary interest is to ensure that Syrian instability does not
cause a refugee crisis or encourage Kurdish separatist activity within
Turkish borders, and as such, it will not consider a military commitment
without financial and military backing from the West.

…and human zoos? Well. Those are the worst.
That is an SF Chronicle photo. I told you it was a zoo. Literally. People behind bars.
I can't personally testify though. I had an unfortunate scheduling conflict which brought me into San Francisco, just a few miles away from the park but occupied me for most of the hours of FanFest. I was planning to stop by and check it out for a few minutes, but as the day progressed I realized it wasn't really a check-it-out situation. As I listened to the radio driving in, I kept hearing, "if you are not already in line, do not come! Repeat, do not come!" And reading on Facebook afterwards there were a lot of people who waited for hours and didn't get in or got in and were disappointed. So I ate my avocado sandwich (avocado sandwiches are really good, for the record. Really good.) on a bench and watched the parades of people and orange and black. And later got to drive behind them on the freeway. I might as well have been at the event. I mean, I was there for the traffic.
Anyway. If any of you were there, do share, beautiful people. I am curious to hear some firsthand accounts.
Lastly, this post is for the guy with the Best Accent in Baseball. He also cracked my Best Dressed MLB'er list, in this outfit.
I am still in shock about Andy Pettitte announcing his retirement. He is one of the reasons I fell in love with the game of baseball and I will miss him- and yes, his accent- a lot. Tipping my white beanie to him.

W. Kamau Bell brings different niches to comedy tour
BY MIKE THOMAS email@example.com July 11, 2013 11:22AM
W. Kamau Bell brings his stand-up style to the Park West on July 13. | MATTHIAS CLAMER PHOTO/COURTESY OF FX
♦ 8:30 p.m. July 13
♦ Park West, 322 W. Armitage Ave., Chicago
♦ Tickets, $25
♦ (773) 929-1322;
Updated: August 13, 2013 6:07AM
A couple of decades ago, University of Chicago Laboratory School grad W. Kamau Bell slung scoops at the Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop just minutes down the street from where the comic and TV host soon will perform (July 13) with a few writers from his politically and racially charged FX show "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell": the Park West.
Bell also used to attend concerts there (Ziggy Marley, Divinyls), he says, never dreaming that one day he'd be headlining.
Before touching down in town, Bell — who also sampled a few courses at Columbia College Chicago after dropping out of the University of Pennsylvania, and studied under Steve Carell at Second City's training center — talked about his ever-evolving program (launched in August, it will go from weekly on FX to nightly on new sister network FXX in September), his melting pot audience and the influence of executive producer Chris Rock.
QUESTION: When you're doing the kind of comedy you do (political, racial), you must have to be smarter about it in order to be funny.
W. KAMAU BELL: I don't know if smarter is part of it. I think you have to be more sensitive to the issues you're covering. I don't want to say smarter because there are a lot of times where we're like, "Wait a minute, what is that? Hold on, somebody Google this." Or somebody in the office will be like, "I know what that is," and we'll all sit around the seat of one of the writers as they explain it.
Q. What is Chris Rock's influence on the show?
WKB: It really depends on the week. I think, over time, he's sort of backed off. Because he spent the first 13 episodes [coming] around once a week and he'd take us out to lunch and talk to us and go do scripts with us. And he'd also come to the tape days. At some point he just started coming only to the tape days. He'd get there at the time we rehearsed, stay through the whole show, [then] stay for the edit. And then he started to get in there later and later as he saw us being able to do it. Some weeks he'd get there later and be like, "You guys totally screwed this up. Let's start over." And some days he'd be like, "You guys got it. This is good. I've got three jokes I'd like to pitch." Now it's to the point where he certainly gets emailed the script so he knows what's going on … but he's always available for a phone call. Our show airs at [10 p.m.] on Thursdays. I'd say at [10:29] I get either a phone call or a text saying what he thinks about the show.
Q. What's good and what's bad?
WKB: Mostly what's bad.
Q. Is he gentle about it, or is he how you imagine Chris Rock might be?
WKB: [jokingly] Do the words "gentle" and "Chris Rock" make sense coming out of your mouth together? I mean, he certainly has a way of talking and it's certainly constructive, but if he feels he needs to be direct he'll be direct. … Sometimes I'm like, 'I'm sorry!' I'm home at night, crying into a pillow. But I would rather have that than him not care at all and let me just make mistakes.
Q. Who is your audience for "Totally Biased"?
WKB: It's funny; our audience is niche-based. We have a lot of different niches that come together to form a new audience. It's kind of like the Voltron of comedy audiences. It's easy to say our show is a leftist comedy show, but we represent so many different voices on the left that you'll see a Sikh in the audience and a Muslim and you'll see a South Asian-American and you'll see a bunch of black old ladies and you'll see gay people and a trans[gender] person. All these different niches come together to form one huge motley crew. I like to think of our audience as the Island of Misfit Toys.
Q. As you get bigger, what are you starting to demand on the set?
WKB: Um, I've asked for water recently, and they've said that they will provide water from now on. Chris [Rock] tells me this: "You can ask for more things." I sort of have this thing like I won a contest, so I don't want to mess it up. I don't want to ask for one Red Bull too many.

Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Electrical and Computer Questions
jgagnon Posts: 11500medinaoh,
I had the exact same issues right down to the complete electrical failure after a shutdown.
I first started noticing a slight flicker in the lights at night, but chalked it up to the
kicking on. This was quickly followed by the radio time resting but none of the presents. I had the alligator checked and replaced the battery. The issue seemed to go away for a couple of months and then suddenly the brights issue would go on and off. The ignition chime would stay on when the key was removed. The doors would lock and unlock, the passenger seat airbag sensor would randomly go on and off. The traction control would cycle.....and now suddenly complete power failures at the most opportune times.I have a 2007 GMC Sierra Crew Cab TEXAS edition with around 60K miles. -
gmcustsvcsarah Posts: 1,964Good morning 1500medinaoh,

johnsaved Posts: 7I have an "08 GMC Sierra 3500 and my ghost turned out to be a loose ground on the frame under the driver's seat. There are several grounds attached to the frame. If your truck spends any time in the cold climate, I am sure that you have noticed rust on the frame. GM's solution for corrosion control was to have the frames dipped in some sort of wax instead of painting them like the rest of the world. As soon as a single drop of water gets behind this wax it is all over and the wax starts to literally peel off. When GM installed the grounds to the frame they never cleaned the connection point off and the grounds were screwed on top of the wax. This works for a little while but once water gets behind that little 10mm bolt and freezes a couple of times, the wax and the bolt are loosened and the grounding point is compromised. You would think that they would have a service bulletin on this by now. You would also think that GM would have gotten away from those waxed frames by I just took a look at a 2012 and yep, wax frame that was already rusting. Reminds me of the early 70's. Check all of your ground points. Loose grounds drive the ECM's bonkers.
thegiver61 Posts: 1I have had this happen 2 times now. After driving my 2008 GMC 4x4 the indicator for the shifter keeps loosing P,R,N 1,2,3 and all the lines under them ------- it starts off with one disappearing then one by one they disappear. until they are all gone. Then all of a sudden they are all back just like nothing happened

pcampbell5 Posts: 1I rebuilt a 2002 and it fired right up...no ignition timing needed, but im no mechanic...that same truck is forgetting the key occasionally and I have to train the key to the truck for ten minutes before it knows it not being stolen and will allow it to run. After u attempt to start the truck leave the key in the on position and if the diagnostic screen on the dash flashes the security light at u then back to the battery light leave it on for ten minutes until the security light is no longer flashing then turn off and retry...sometimes it has taken two to three times of doing that then all the sudden it will fire right up and no problems untill that sob forgets again...have no idea what keeps cusing this to mine... good luck maybe this will help u
dbvz Posts: 1Has anyone resolved the electrical "Gremlin" as described in post #556? I have experienced this and it is quite frightening while driving. Called my local dealership and he said he had never heard of anything like that happening. Don't want to waste a bunch of money there if they have no idea what is going on. Seriously considering a trip to my local Ford dealership for a trade. What a shame, I really like my Silverado.
barnowl3 Posts: 70There was a guy on here that documented similar problems on youtube and it was scary. He apparently got some deal from GM and the youtube video was erased. MY GM truck lost brakes early in life due to brake lines that rotted out in less than 4 years. Endless warranty issues and I was nearly always greeted with the "deer in the headlights" look at my dealer, but at least they fixed at 1-3 warranty items at nearly every oil change ( several repeats in 3 years) . I know of many accounts of the early failing brakes, and in fact it was investigated by NHTSA, only to see the case suddenly closed. GM Customer Service kindly contacted me on this board, only to tell me, 'sorry, we know nothing about those brake line that burst early in life' (many accounts on the internet though). After 35 years, I bought a Ford. You will be glad you did. Had a warranty issue, no deer in the headlights look, they just fixed it.
sarahc7 Posts: 3I had the same issue with my "07 Silverado 1500 as well a couple months ago. It reminded me of a cold start on an old pickup. I had to attempt to turn the engine 3 times for it to start. I knew it was not a battery/alternator issue because I had power, but it just did not want to turn over. I told my husband about it and he did not seem concerned as it has never happened before or since, but there are many other issues with this truck that I have experienced and have read about on this forum. It almost seems worth it to look into trading it in before it goes kaput on me.
sarahc7 Posts: 3I have read in the forum about other owners having the shifting issue and the bump after braking. Has anyone found or recieved a resolution to those? My shifting issue has come up very recently and it is during upshift instead of down shift. It is not really a slip, but more of it putting itself in neutral. The bump does not bother me, but it concerns me if is something that needs to be replaced as mentioned before about a selanoid or some time of slip yoke(?).
Also, I have experienced an issue with my interior electrical system that coincides with the weather. I have been told to check the fuses, but honestly I have yet to do so as I cannot locate the fuse box in the new vehicles ( I am used to the old fords). Anyway, the speakers fade in and out during good weather and will alternate between front and back. However, if it is below 65 degrees or raining, only one speaker works. I have tried adjusting the settings on the radio, turning off bass, raising/lowering treble, going between F/B and L/R, etc. Those appear to have no affect on whether or not they will work. On a good weather day, they work fine. This is minor and trivial, however it does affect the turn signal sound. I have checked to make sure they work, and they do. So, at this point I am stumped. I luckily have not had any problems with my indicator lights, tachometer, speedometer, locks, or any of the other ghost electrical problems, but am curious to know whether the poster that had the ground issue under the seat had anything similar going on before he resolved his ghost problems. Oddly enough, I had a 2008 Cobalt that had the same interior electrical issue as this truck. I was never able to have it looked at or resolved, as it was totalled in 2011. I had previously wondered if it was a issue with condensation getting in the wiring harness or connections. If anyone has any ideas or input, I would love to speak with you. -

chevyatic Posts: 1If I am driving with the heater on I can't adjust the temperature it stays hot, if I switch it over to A/C it won't change unless I kill the truck and restart then 90% of the time it will go to A/C, but it won't go back to heat unless I do the same of killing the truck and then restarting? Where do I begin my search for a cure?

westminsterfly Posts: 1Hey there,
I'm not sure if it is the same thing but i had my Chevy HHR catch on fire due to a short in the electrical system in the car. I was in the car and the whole front dashboard was melted. Needless to say the car was totaled about ten months old and 4,500 miles on it. Chevy refused to comment to me or help out on the car even though they were the ones who determined they were the cause. Gotta love fortune 500 companies in america if i were you sell the truck ASAP before it traps you inside in fire. -
barnowl3 Posts: 70This is going back a ways, but just in case it helps. My 03 Sierra , had some high/low voltage charging issues while still under warranty. First they replaced the alternator. Soon afterwards the voltage went wild, swinging back and forth between like 10 volts to 19 volts. Got it into the dealer on time before anything blew and they said there were issues with that part of the wiring harness. The way my voltage was swinging, I could have easily seen that overload the wiring, blowing filaments, etc. Replacing it did fix that problem, though I did go through another alternator about 3yrs later under 60,000 miles.
Is GM covering the damages under warranty? It would be good to get a sound explanation as to the cause, so the new harness does not have the same problem. I had several other parts that failed under warranty repeatedly, leading to me to believe there was a design flaw that never was corrected. That becomes a real problem for reliability, but fires are in a different category. If you do not get a clear answer, consider reporting it to the NHTSA, as this is what many had to to do with early rotting brake lines in '03 and '04, causing sudden loss of brakes in 4 yr old trucks. -
ryan2274 Posts: 2I'm dealing with the same problem. I have a 2007 1/2 ton GMC Sierra w/the VortecMax(6.0). Started having minor issues just like yours about a year ago but truck always restarted. Went to a local Chevy dealer and they said it was a ground. Truck ran fine for a while then slowly started doing the same thing until truck wouldn't start. Turn the key and lights(interior and exterior), radio, windows and locks, fuel pump, and the lights where the gauges are(DIC) would all work. I could also shift into gear. Unfortunetly the none of the gauges(fuel, oil, temp etc.) would not work and could not start the truck. Bought a new battery, still nothing. Had a local mechanic(non dealer garage) check every fuse, found nothing. After 3 days and him arguing with the Chevy dealership, he traced the problem to be in the BCM. So with the new battery installed he took his personal computer and cleared the codes. Then he went through a BCM restart. And that consist of turning key on waiting 14 minutes, taking key out(very important, take key out). He got this info from a friend in Texas, and i may not have all the steps correct. I will get back to you on this. Did this process 3 times and truck has run perfect every since. Truck will run normal until the battery runs down(which I know eventually will in time) or I have to disconnect a the battery cables(which I know I will at some point in the future). Long story short, truck will run as intended until one of the two happens. This is a temp fix, guess I just need to replace the BCM. Don't know what caused this to happen, wish I did. Sad thing is the Chevy garage is just gonna temp fix it for ya and send you on your merry way, and of course charge you, and of course not tell you anything so you can come back and spend some more of your hard earned money. Hope this helps and if you have any updates let me know.
