Desiccant breathers keep contaminants out of oil
Lubricant contamination is one of the leading causes for machine failure, and contamination can begin before the lubricant ever enters the machine. Gearboxes, pumps and reservoirs have to "breathe" when the air expands and contracts, as well as when incoming fluid displaces air, or when air is drawn in when hydraulic components activate. Each time a unit breathes in, it brings with it all sorts of small debris and moisture, depending on the operating environment. Over time, the effects of this contamination can be damaging to the lubricant and to the equipment.
Water-contaminated oil can lead to additive stripping, and eventually the water can cause corrosion and rust. Small particulates no larger than three microns (the diameter of a single human hair is 40 microns) can cause unwanted machine abrasion. All of these problems accelerate wear and lead to costly repairs. The simple solution to these problems is the use of desiccant breathers, which can stop water and particulates from contaminating the lubricant in the first place. From the time oil enters your facility to the end of its useful life, protecting it with desiccant breathers will extend the life of the oil and the equipment, decrease downtime, and save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. LE has partnered with Des-Case Corporation, one of the best breather manufacturers in the industry. With this partnership, LE can offer the entire Des-Case® product line as well as provide onsite installation and support. We are one of the largest Des-Case authorized distributors in the U.S.
Desiccant breathers are vital component of lubricant reliability program
Studies have shown that 50-70% of lubricant contamination comes from outside the equipment. Most machines are designed to "breathe," so protecting the source of airflow from moisture and particulate contamination is extremely important. This is true for most sizes and types of machines.
Breathers are sized according to the required cubic feet per minute (cfm) of air exchange for each machine application. The desiccant beads in the breathers change color as they become saturated with moisture, indicating that the unit is spent. Desiccant breathers use filter media to remove particles greater than three microns, and a silica-gel desiccant to remove moisture from the air entering the oil. Des-Case desiccant breathers incorporate a high capture-efficiency filter to help sustain desired cleanliness levels by removing even minute particulates. They also create low relative humidity levels in the headspace, making condensation and absorption by the lubricant unlikely. When a system is properly fitted with a breather that contains drying and filtration media, contaminant ingression is greatly reduced. Installation of desiccant breathers at critical ingression points is a cost-effective means to prevent contaminants from entering the fluid reservoirs as differential pressures occur.
LE offers full line of desiccant breathers and accessories for contamination exclusion in industrial applications
Extended Series Breathers
High-airflow, long-lasting desiccant breathers with check-valve technology ideal for storage tanks, large gearboxes, wind turbines and remote applicationsHow It Works
As wet, contaminated air is drawn through the unit, multiple 3-micron polyester filter elements remove solid particulates, and the color-indicating silica gel extracts moisture. When air is expelled from the container, the top foam pad prevents oil mist from contacting silica gel or entering the atmosphere.
The desiccant breather is outfitted with a resilient nylon standpipe and polypropylene oil mist reducer to allow oil mist to coalesce and drain back into the reservoir, rather than compromising the desiccant. Six high-quality umbrella check-valves are located underneath the unit to isolate equipment from ambient conditions, prolonging breather life and protecting system integrity.
Extended Series Breather Features
- Six check-valves
- Integrated nylon standpipe
- Honeycomb technology oil mist reducer
- Resilient polycarbonate body
- Filter element
- Foam pad
- Water vapor adsorbent

Ohio's oil industry maintained its stance against Gov. John Kasich's proposal to increase the severance tax on the developing shale drilling industry in Ohio.
Ohio's oil industry maintained its stance against Gov. John Kasich's proposal to increase the severance tax on the developing shale drilling industry in Ohio.
It's a move that will slow development and deter the creation of high-paying oil industry jobs, claims the Ohio Petroleum Council and the Ohio Oil & Gas Association, industry groups that champion shale drilling.
Oil companies from outside Ohio have been exploring the Utica shale formation under eastern counties, including Stark, Tuscarawas and
Companies use horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and natural gas. Early production by about three dozen wells indicates the Utica formation has what companies are seeking.
Early estimates are that more than 38,000 jobs have been created because of the drilling boom. New jobs range from direct work in the oil fields to new hires at restaurants and retailers where the industry is based.
Kasich said he believes all Ohioans should benefit from shale drilling. Industry officials said they agree but counter that raising taxes on the industry only will serve to stall job growth.
"Ohioans are already benefiting from shale energy development," said Robert Eshenbaugh, legislative analyst for the Ohio Petroleum Council. "We are an industry investing in putting people to work, paying high wages and already generating billions in revenue for the state. This proposal is ill-conceived and ill-timed."
Thomas E. Stewart, OOGA's executive vice president, applauded Kasich's suggestion to lower income taxes but said the move doesn't support singling out one industry.
"Ohio's oil and gas industry remains concerned that increasing the severance tax at this critical juncture in Utica shale development could impede future capital investment and the creation of good-paying jobs that are sought by so many Ohioans," Stewart said.
OOGA contends the gas industry has boosted sale tax collections and lowered unemployment in eastern Ohio counties. OPC, which is tied to the American Petroleum Institute, cited a report that the oil and natural gas industry in Ohio paid more than $910 million in state and local taxes in 2011.
Kasich first proposed last year hiking the severance tax, which is levied on oil and natural gas pumped from wells. Monday's revised proposal calls for a 4 percent tax, but eliminates the tax for small, conventional natural gas wells.
The oil and gas industry has opposed the proposal from the start.

BOSTON — Two-time U.S. champion Ashley Wagner made the Olympic team Sunday despite finishing a distant fourth at the national championships.
U.S. Figure Skating officials took into account performances over the past year in picking the three women who will go to Sochi, not just their showing at this week's event.
Mirai Nagasu, who was fourth at the 2010 Olympics, didn't make the team despite taking third Saturday at the U.S. Championships.
Fifteen-year-old Polina Edmunds, who was second, was selected even though she has no major international experience at the senior level.
"Looking at Ashley Wagner's record and performances, she's got the top credentials of any of our female athletes," U.S. Figure Skating president Patricia St. Peter said.
New U.S. champion Gracie Gold also will compete in the Sochi Olympics after winning Saturday.
Wagner finished fifth at the world championships and won the bronze medal at the Grand Prix final, but she fell twice and failed to cleanly land two other triple jumps in Saturday's free skate.
Wagner narrowly missed going to the Vancouver Games after she finished third at nationals when the U.S. had only two spots.
Abbott wins men's title. Aspen's Jeremy Abbott won his fourth U.S. figure skating title and locked up his second Olympic berth.
Jason Brown, 19, placed second.
Both were named to the U.S. Olympic team Sunday night and will compete in men's singles at the Sochi Games, U.S. Figure Skating announced.

Hubby and I were listening to some interviews of Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, the world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital who spoke at the recent National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. I don't know what his views are on foreign policy or a number of other topics, but I love what I hear from him on the economy and his opinion of the way Barack Obama is governing dictating.
It would be such a breath of fresh air if we could have a Conservative presidential candidate like Dr. Carson, who can articulate Conservative values in easy to understand terms and isn't afraid of being attacked for those beliefs. Hubby started naming off individuals he would like to see serving on that president's cabinet and in other high offices in Washington.
You can leave your dream team names in the comments. How about John Bolton for Secretary of State? Maybe Allen West for Secretary of Defense? Maybe Dr. Benjamin Carson for Health and Human Services?
How about we do away with about half of the cabinet departments to save money?
One person who needs to be in high office is Ted Cruz. Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz, (R-Texas) As Daniel Horowitz says:
If a man is judged by the quality of his enemies, Ted Cruz should be a national hero. Over the past few days, The New York Times and Politico have run stories describing Cruz's first 6 weeks in office as combative and McCarthy-like by his enemies. Let us use this as an opportunity to take a victory lap for helping to elect this great patriot. [big snip]
It's funny how we all thought a strong national defense was one ideal still universally regarded in the Republican Party, especially by noted "hawks" like Lindsey Graham and John McCain. Yet, in just a matter of a few weeks, Senator Cruz has done more to fight the blame-America-first crowd than the brokeback partnership has done during their respective careers. From his stand against Hagel and Kerry and his strong and articulate defense of the Second Amendment to his leadership against the amnesty circus, Cruz has met and exceeded all our expectations. [big snip]
Much to the dismay of the media, we are no longer bringing a Lamar Alexander to a Chuck Schumer fight. We are bringing a Ted Cruz. And no, we will not wait dutifully for 5 years until our voice will be heard through Senator Cruz. It's no coincidence that while McCain was beclowning himself with Schumer during the State of the Union Address, Cruz was sitting by his side with the bewildered expression of a man who can no longer distinguish friend from foe. (read it al at Red State)
And speaking of the State of the Union clown show, George Will says:
In the 12 months we have to steel ourselves for the next State of the Union spectacle, let us count the ways that this spawn of democratic Caesarism — presidency worship — has become grotesque. It would be the most embarrassing ceremony in the nation's civic liturgy, were the nation still capable of being embarrassed by its puerile faith in presidential magic.
The Constitution laconically requires only that the president
"shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state
of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he
shall judge necessary and expedient." Nothing requires "from time to
time" to be construed as "every damn year." Informing and recommending
need not involve today's tawdry ritual of wishful thinking by presidents
unhinged from political reality and histrionics by their audiences. And
must we be annually reminded that all presidents think that everything
they want is "necessary and expedient"? (continue at the Washington Post)

Lotus F1 Team owner Gerard Lopez has spoken out about the team's financial uncertainty following many months of reports and speculation regarding the future of the Enstone-based outfit, revealing that the deal with Quantum Motorsport was cancelled as the money "never arrived".
Quantum, a consortium headed up by Mansoor Ijaz, was poised to ease the team's financial uncertainty with a sizeable investment that promised to pay the money owed to Kimi Raikkonen and secure the services of Nico Hulkenberg for 2014. Ijaz appeared in Austin and said that the deal was poised to be completed, but the team confirmed at the end of the year that Pastor Maldonado had been signed for 2014, along with his large amount of backing from Venezuela. With this, Lopez has said that the budget for Lotus in 2014 is in place.
"The Quantum money never arrived," Lopez told AMUS. "We have now cancelled the deal. 2014 is complete with our new sponsor PDVSA's budget. We will not make any new debt."
In a wide-ranging interview about the future of the team, Lopez also confirmed that Kimi Raikkonen had received some of the money that he was owed. The Finn publicly criticised the team at the end of last season after it was revealed that he had not been paid, and even threatened to walk away before the end of the year. Eventually, he did miss the final two races in order to undergo back surgery, but Lopez has confirmed that Raikkonen has been given some of what he is due.
"He got part of his salary, and he will get the rest," he said.
The fact that Lotus' future is secure and the team will be racing in 2014 will cause many a sigh of relief in the Formula One world. Having experienced many ups and downs over the past ten years, the Enstone-based outfit will be hoping that 2014 will mark a new era for the team led by the hugely impressive Romain Grosjean. However, it is likely that the rumour mill will continue to function until the E22 is lined up on the grid in Melbourne on March 16th.

Ballots and Bullets: Adapting Women's Rights Arguments to the Conditions of War
Brigance, Linda Czuba, Women and Language
Abstract: Wartime presents extraordinary challenges for women's rights advocates, because political dissent is often interpreted as an unpatriotic act. During the U.S. Civil War, many women redirected their efforts toward support of the war, because of the belief that their loyalty would be rewarded with suffrage. As this examination of the wartime rhetoric of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony explains, the two women's rights leaders continued to focus on their campaign for women's equality. By recognizing that the circumstances of war offered a unique rhetorical moment in the nation's history and creating strategies that took advantage of those circumstances, they kept the movement alive during the war and ensured its growth after the war when the postwar amendments failed to grant women suffrage.
Slaves, immigrants, those without property, people of color, and adherents to certain religious beliefs have been excluded from the rights and responsibilities of full citizenship at various times in American history. As Anna Yeatman (1993) explains it, "the dominant discourses of modern citizenship are predicated on systemic exclusions of those who are othered by these discourses" (quoted in Kingfisher, 1998, p. 128). When "woman" is added to the previously mentioned descriptors, another layer of exclusion is added. For example, the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, enacted after the Civil War, granted suffrage rights to black men, but excluded women of all races.
The citizenship of those whose civic status is already ambiguous becomes even more troublesome in times of war. This is because war challenges not only the material and human resources of a nation, but also its collective identity. Contemporary consequences of ambiguous citizenship status include the internment of American citizens of Japanese ancestry during World War II and the post 9-11 treatment of citizens of Middle Eastern heritage. Because the rights and responsibilities of citizenship that are emphasized in war (such as public policy making and military service) are activities from which women traditionally have been excluded, the idea of woman-as-citizen is even more problematic during times of war than it is during times of peace. For women who engage in challenges against the status quo, wartime presents particular difficulties, because dissent against the government is often characterized as unpatriotic. Thus, throughout U.S. history, wartime has presented extraordinary challenges for women's rights advocates.
This paper examines the discourse of women's rights activists during and after the Civil War in order to better understand how the rhetoric of social reform can take advantage of the circumstances of war to advance activists' causes. This analysis focuses on the Civil War because it was the first war that women's rights activists faced after the 1848 Seneca Falls women's rights convention. Therefore, it provides the first example of the rhetorical strategies used in wartime by an organized women's movement in the United States. I argue that some women's rights advocates in the Civil War era, specifically movement leaders Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, did not abandon their gender equality agenda to the war effort; rather, they adapted to the rhetorical situation presented to them by the war.
Women's Rights War Rhetoric
It is impossible to separate the beginning of the women's rights movement in the United States from many of the issues that led to Civil War, because the leaders acquired their social reform consciousness and strategies through their involvement in the abolition movement. Indeed, it was their exclusion from the World Anti-Slavery conference in England in June, 1840, that motivated Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mort to call the first women's rights conference in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848 (Stanton, 1898/1971, p. 82).
During the years leading up to the Civil War, the campaign for women's rights was small compared to the abolition and temperance crusades. …

Vermont man dies in culvert crashJuly 29,2013
The Associated Press
JERICHO - Vermont State Police say a motorist was killed when his van veered off a road, crashed into a metal culvert and slid on its side into a utility pole in the town of Jericho.
Police say emergency crews had to use extrication equipment to free the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene early Sunday. His name wasn't immediately released.
Police say the van was traveling west on Route 15 in Jericho shortly after midnight when the vehicle left the road while approaching an intersection with Raceway Road. Police say it hit the metal drainage culvert head-on. The impact knocked the van onto its side before it slid roof-first into the utility pole.MORE IN This Just In

Stas Venglevski plans to show that the bayan, a type of accordion, is a serious classical and ethnic music instrument when he and violinist Samantha George are in concert April 5 at the Holiday Music Motel.
- Filed Under
Sure, Americans know what the accordion is for. Party music, "fun" music like polkas and zydeco. And jokes, usually with the instrument's destruction as part of the punch line.
Yet, the members of the accordion family are regarded differently in Europe, where they are used frequently in classical music, as well as waltzes, tangos and folk music.
That may be hard to imagine for Northeast Wisconsinites after all those years watching accordion players on weekend TV polka shows. But Stas Venglevski, a native of the former Soviet republic of Moldava, is here to play the sounds the rest of the world ...

Melvin Wilson wasn't going to lose.
Not Wednesday.
It wasn't that he just wanted to win the Clayton County Cross Country Championship on Wednesday to get a first place medal, the North Clayton sophomore had a bigger reason.
It would have been his cousin's 19th birthday, if not for that frightful day on June 17, 2010 when Darnell Fields was shot to death while walking with his aunt on a wooded path in his Clayton County neighborhood.
"This win was dedicated to him," Wilson said. "There was no way I was going to lose this race."
Wilson had to out-sprint Lovejoy's Felix Sams to claim his first county championship.
"We have been battling all season," Wilson said. "We were going neck and neck out there (Wednesday). I told myself that I wasn't going to look back. I wasn't worried about anybody."
Wilson missed the entire cross country season last fall after getting his physical too late.
This win, he said, more than makes up for the lost season.
Last April, he finished fourth in Region 4-AAAA in the 800-meters during the track and field season. North Clayton will compete in the region cross country championships in Fairburn.
"My cousin and I use to run together," Wilson said. "This was supposed to be our year."
North Clayton coach Martisse Troup said that Wilson has come a long way in his training since last season.
"He has made a lot of progress," Troup said. "He has two more years to really work on some things that could make him a championship runner."
Lovejoy won the boy's county title with three runners finishing in the top five.
On the girls' side, Forest Park junior Evante Belardo dominated in winning her third straight county title. With the help of her teammates, Forest Park swept the five places to win the county championship.
"I'm definitely pleased with the race," Belardo said. "I always try to stay positive when I'm out there running."
The top seven finishers at the county meet were given medals and deemed first-team all-county runners.

The series is funded through the generous support of Patricia Dooley Fortenbaugh. Ms. Fortenbaugh is the daughter of Carroll Dooley, the first Director of the Division of Food Preparation for the Culinary Institute of America. The series is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and is based on a first come, first served basis. There is no registration process. Lectures and readings are one hour long, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A. The Dooley Lecture Series Presents: Serving Gastrodiplomacy at Conflict Kitchen Robert Sayre and Dawn Weleski Friday, July 17, 2015 12:15 p.m. Lower Level of Marriott Pavilion Culinary Director Robert Sayre and co-director Dawn Weleski will present the five-year history of Conflict Kitchen, discussing the development of the restaurant/art project's vision; political, cultural, and culinary research processes and the products of such; and the deepening of collaborations with immigrants from the Iranian, Afghan, Venezuelan, Cuban, North Korean, and Palestinian communities and those still residing in those countries. Conflict Kitchen is a take-out restaurant in Pittsburgh, PA that serves cuisine from countries with which the U.S. government is in conflict. Each Conflict Kitchen iteration is augmented by events, performances, publications, and discussions that seek to expand the engagement the public has with the culture, politics, and issues at stake within the focus region. The restaurant rotates identities in relation to current geopolitical events. Robert Sayre has been working in kitchens since his first job scooping ice cream at age 14. After a brief interlude to study music at Middlebury College, Robert resumed his culinary career as a 2004 graduate of Pennsylvania Culinary Institute. He has since worked his way up through the Pittsburgh restaurant scene. He joined Conflict Kitchen as Culinary Director in December 2011 and working with founders Jon Rubin and Dawn Weleski has expanded the culinary and artistic breadth of the project. Over his time at Conflict Kitchen, the project has relocated, expanded its menu, and developed a series of dinners and events to focus the attention of Americans on the people, foods, and cultures of countries with whom the United States is in conflict. Dawn Weleski is an artist. Her practice administers a political stress test, antagonizing routine cultural behavior by re-purposing underground brawls, revolutionary protests, and political offices as transformative social stages. She co-directs Conflict Kitchen, a take-out restaurant that serves cuisine from countries with which the U.S. government is in conflict, which has been covered by over 550 international media and news outlets worldwide and is a finalist for the Second International Public Art Award. Weleski has exhibited around the world in Brazil, Egypt, Korea, Switzerland, and the United States, and has been a resident at The Headlands Center for the Arts, SOMA Mexico City, and The Atlantic Center for the Arts; and is a fellow at the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University. Past Events: Hank Shaw Stepping onto Nature's Stage: Foraging, Fishing, and Hunting in the Modern World Join forager, hunter, angler and cook Hank Shaw in a discussion not only about how you can integrate the wild world with the modern one, but also why you'd want to in the first place. Humans are as divorced from nature as we have ever been as a species. As we spend more of our daily lives staring at a glowing screen, many of us are beginning to realize how damaging that divorce has been. Nature is our home, the active pursuit of her bounty is perhaps the best way to step away from the computer and out onto nature's stage. Once we do that, we realize how important it is to preserve what remains of the wild world around us. A former line cook and political journalist, Hank Shaw runs the James Beard Award-winning website Hunter Angler Gardener Cook. He is the author of Hunt, Gather, Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast and Duck, Duck, Goose, has appeared in the anthology Best Food Writing several times and has written for magazines ranging from Field & Stream to Food & Wine. He hunts, forages, and fishes in Northern California. Kevin West Well Preserved: History, Memory, Science, and the Future of Food Preservation The current revival of preserving skills demonstrates how the best culinary thinking often happens on the precipice between nostalgia and innovation, a place where history and habit meet curiosity and urgent need. This talk is about discovering an unexpected perspective on a subject you thought you already knew: that kimchi and sauerkraut are as old as world civilization, that the Romans invented marmalade, that Shakespeare understood pickles (but not jam), that the British brought chutney home from India, and that the brutal institution of slavery enabled Marie Antoinette's passion for jelly. The conversation will be open to both technical questions about the science of food safety and creative questions about how to make preserving techniques your own. Kevin West is a journalist who served on the staff at W magazine, with postings in New York, Paris, and Los Angeles. He runs the blog SavingtheSeason.com; writes about food, culture, and travel; and produces a retail collection of jams and marmalades. Kevin is certified as a Master Food Preserver and has authored the book, Saving the Season, A Cook's Guide to Home Canning, Pickling, and Preserving (2013).

The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
Dwight Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
Source: 3/17/1954
Contributed by: Zaady
Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
Men and women, inspired by faith in man's dignity, goaded by conviction in man's responsibility, labored that this land might be a better home for those who followed them. Because every American generation attacked its problems with fresh vigor, we have peopled a continent, subdued its prairies and wilderness, tamed its rivers and devoted its resources to the betterment of those who dwell in it.
Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.
I make it a practice to avoid hating anyone. If someone's been guilty of despicable actions, especially toward me, I try to forget him. I used to follow a practice-somewhat contrived, I admit-to write the man's name on a piece of scrap paper, drop it into the lowest drawer of my desk, and say to myself: "That finishes the incident, and so far as I'm concerned, that fellow. The drawer became over the years a sort of private wastebasket for crumpled-up spite and discarded personalities. Besides, it seemed to be effective, and helped me avoid harboring useless black feelings.
Freedom from fear and injustice and oppression will be ours only in the measure that men who value such freedom are ready to sustain its possession - to defend it against every thrust from within or without.
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

Kenya is yet again at a crossroad. Having experienced much violence in the wake of the precedent election, the peaceful outcome in the current one remains an uncertain hope. While reiterating the responsibility of the presidential contenders,' the author explores the roles that Kenya's marginalized youth have played in the 2007-2008 post-election violence, and ponders on the likelihood of their involvement in acts of violence this time around.
Whether or not Kenya will break into violence during the upcoming March election has been a major point of debate. The now infamous post election violence, which erupted during the 2007-2008 presidential election, continues to weigh heavily on the psyche of the nation. Matters have not been made easier with two major presidential contenders, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, currently under prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for their involvement. That being said, we cannot forget that the perpetrators of this violence (i.e., those who physically carried out these murders) are from a small, but extremely important, element of Kenyan society. I am not speaking about the Kenyan elite—who are bastards in their own right; and who no doubt bear the most responsibility for the post election violence and rampant impunity in Kenya.
Rather, the bastards that I am speaking of are the youth who exist in the margins and periphery of Kenyan society. These people do not benefit from the Kenyan state, and indeed are not recognized in any meaningful way—whether that is birth certificates, identification cards, or the provision of human services which are usually associated with state functions. They are denied the rights, privileges, and opportunities afforded only to subjects of the state. These youth are bastards, not because of their own choices, but because of their illegitimacy, their lack of formal recognition, and their social and economic activity lie in excess of state authority. However some of these youth in Kenya, many of whom are in gangs, do not share the same historical narrative of many other Africans who also live in spaces of informality. The Waki Report says that, "between 1992 and 1996, the number of street children [in Kenya] increased 300% in just four years. Many of these initially rootless children who are now adults are the product of displacement by ethnic violence. They have grown up on the streets and are inured to violence…the combination of being rootless, having survived amidst violence, and their need for an identity and a livelihood makes them ready recruits for violent gangs" (35). In other words, the political and demographic chemistry in contemporary Kenya has formed a unique and incendiary environment.
|In the wake of the 2007-2008 presidential cycle, Kenya's marginalized youth participated in untold acts of chaos and violence, on behalf of their respective parties. Photo Credit: Reuters
In a marvelous stroke of irony, the very children who were displaced because of the egregious behavior by Kenyan politicians are now being contracted as youth gangs to carry out the violent ambitions of the elite. There have been numerous testimonies of youth being trucked into certain areas to kill people and burn property during the post election violence, and it is the Kenyan elite—including Kenyatta and Ruto—who are responsible for financing these operations. Indeed, Kenya has a different set of bastards, individuals whose lifestyles have been disproportionately affected by violent displacement and ethnic cleansing, in addition to the debilitating poverty and uncertainty faced by most people living in informality. Understanding the relationship between Kenyan politicians and these youth groups, as well as the historical and social dynamics of this relationship must be placed in context with the current election; yet too often commentators on Kenya neglect to mention the significance of this dynamic in their analysis.
|Uhuro Kenyatta (left) and William Ruto (right), are currently under investigation by the ICC for
their alleged involvement in Kenya's 2007-2008 post-election violence.
However, the most pertinent question is: are these politicians and elites willing to finance acts of violence again, given the international media attention and ongoing ICC trials? I am not sure if there is any clear answer to this question. We have already seen acts of election and polling violence this year, but whether or not those seemingly spontaneous acts evolve into more coordinated action remains to be seen. The question then moves to, whether or not there are youth willing to commit violent crime for hire? This answer should be much clearer to us, since there have been no meaningful improvements to the social and economic circumstances of the most vulnerable Kenyans. I am not convinced that Kenya will experience violence on the same level and intensity as it did during the last election, but I do not think that anyone should try and pretend like the fundamental drivers of this violence have fleeting relevance.

Measuring Instructions: Inside Mount: Provide the measurements of the inside of your window recess. NOT the size you want the blind.Outside Mount: Provide the width and height you need the blind/shade to cover.Click here for detailed measuring instructions.
1. Shipping packages are good. Quality of the product is good. Fittings and width sizes good.
2. In Pecan color option itself - one light and another dark colors exist and does not match when installing in the living room having multiple windows.
3. Vertical height adjustment always not perfect. when you lift shades up, headrail and bottom wood never be in parallel. All the slots cables not inserted properly and plugged.
4. Very few slates (1 out of 15) have Grains and all others are plain.
5. For the width more than 40inches, recommend to have one head rail and two blinds set so that it will not be too heavy in lifting.
Totally love my new blind. Worth the money. What a deal. Easy to install.
I wanted to remove my previous comment but the website does not give such an option. The customer service does a good job working with people. My blinds also came slightly damaged and the mechanism didn't slide, so they let me return it. I ordered more blinds and hope they will arrive in a good condition.
can a few slats be taken out and cord be shortened by a handy end user to decrease the overall length if desired...thanks
Yes, slats can be removed from the bottom of the blind and strings re-secured by someone that is handy or has access to youtube.
Can these blinds be hung from the ceiling? If so, suggestions for measuring for a bay window. I have 3 separate windows & the blinds cannot be hung inside the window mounts. There is less than an inch of wall between the window trim and the ceiling.
Yes! Our 2" Premium Basswood Blinds can be back-mounted or top-mounted as the brackets are universal. As for measuring, you would need to have at least a 2" depth for an "inside mount". I highly recommend you read over our Measuring Guide which explains in detail how to measure properly. I have enclosed a link below...
Can fabric tape be added to the premium basswood blinds?
Unfortunately not. That option is offered on the 2" Designer & Signature Basswood Blinds.
I am ordering the 2' Basswood Premium blinds. Why can I not change the side on which the controls are located?
Our 2" Premium Blinds are an inexpensive way to enjoy the benefit of High Quality blinds. However, to keep costs down, we only offer the lift cord on one specific side, (right).
Due to the curvature of these old windows, I really need to hang blinds/shades from the top of the window, rather than on the sides. Is the mounting brackets on the top or on the sides? Thank you.
Hanging brackets are universal for this product. They will work towards the top, back or sides.
Are these blinds routless??
No, these blinds will not be routeless nor do they have that option available. They are made as normal with cords, ladders, and route holes.
If I have 2 1/4" jamb ext from vinyl window will your 2" blinds work for me?
Yes, this will work for these blinds. You need a minimum depth of at least 3/4". In order to have a flush mount (blinds fully recessed) you will need at least 3 1/4". So, the blinds will stick out of the casement but they will work for inside mount with the 2 1/4" you have.

Activision Blizzard ( ATVI ) recently
announced that it has collaborated with Bungie to develop a new
first-person shooter game, Destiny . Destiny is a
sci-fi story based game set in the very distant future. The game
can be played on different platforms including
Microsoft 's ( MSFT ) Xbox 360,
Sony's PlayStation 3 and other console systems.
In the recently concluded quarter, Activision had announced that
the company would invest in new IPs and join forces with Bungie to
develop new games. Destiny is the first game of the
collaboration between the two companies. Bungie has been associated
with games such as Halo and other titles such as
Marathon and Myth .
We believe that the current partnership with Bungie bodes well
for the company's long-term plans as Activision is desperately on
the lookout for new titles. Activision has relied on Call of
Duty , Skylanders , World of Warcraft and
StarCraft franchises as the main source of revenues for
the last couple of years. Activision has garnered solid revenues
from the release of content packs and new versions of the franchise
games. However, Call of Duty , World of Warcraft
and StarCraft are all old franchises. Skylanders
is a relatively new franchise and has done exceedingly well.
Thus, Activision's effort to develop a new franchise to
diversify its revenue source is a positive factor. However, the
company remains cautious regarding fiscal 2013 given the volatile
macroeconomic environment, uncertainty related to the console
transition and tough year-over-year comparisons. Moreover, the
company also provided a tepid outlook.
We also believe that the continued softness in the video game
industry, limited presence in the mobile gaming segment, higher
adoption of free-to-play games and significant competition from
Electronic Arts ( EA ) and
Take-Two Interactive Software ( TTWO ) are the major
headwinds for Activision going forward. Moreover, continued
investments in new products are expected to hurt margins in the
near term.
Currently, Activision Blizzard has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong

CMU has role in cybersecurity conference
Carnegie Mellon University will coordinate a public conference planned by a federal agency in May for anyone interested in contributing to the nation's cybersecurity framework, officials announced Wednesday.
The May 29-31 event will be hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the federal agency tasked with reducing cybersecurity risks to critical infrastructure. It will be coordinated by CERT, a division of Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute.
Organizers are still working to get a venue large enough to accommodate such a public event, so information about registering for the conference is not yet available.

5.0 stars 76 totalReview Harmeet Dhillon
Posted by Sunil
The office of Harmeet went out of their way to understand our problem , Kept us informed on what are our best options and proceeded in a professional manner and in the end we were able to collect all that was owed to us by the defaulting vendor .
Posted by Rewa
She exudes professional acumen the moment you present your case to her. She has brilliant team of competent attorneys to follow up the case. Always responsive and help protect the client interests.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
Harmeet is an excellent attorney and is a very smart woman. She is very informative and on top of each task she is given. She is trust worthy and will do her best to make sure you are taken care of. I have enjoyed having her support me through out the last year. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Harmeet for everything you have done.
Posted by Debbie
I never thought I would resolve this issue with my former employer. I hired Dhillon & Smith hoping I could finally have closure. I wasn't very optimistic in the beginning. Dhillon & Smith never gave up. I worked with Harmeet Dhillon, Maureen Pettibone Ryan, John-Paul S. Deol and Ken Lau. Because of my previous employer, it dragged out longer than we all wanted, but everyone was driven to resolve this. I was grateful! I can finally put this behind me and move on.
Posted by a client
We brought on Harmeet during a sensitive conflict, and she helped guide me through the process -- she was thorough and direct. There was no doubt she was on our side and held our interests first and foremost in the process. I would absolutely work with her again!
Posted by Abhi
Responsive , direct and efficient. Made it very clear what is ideal outcome and made sure we did not go off on tangents. Almost the entire engagement was done with only 2-3 short phone calls. Rest was email and electronic comms. I would reccomend her for any major cases of similar nature.
Posted by Justin S.
Harmeet is a tremendous lawyer. I was recommended to her by another local SF attorney, who referred to her as a bulldog who stops at nothing to get the best results for her clients. I found this to be very true. We were dealing with a contract dispute, and the guy on the other side of the contract was at fault - a financial settlement was ultimately reached with me. She was aggressive, but smart. Her personality is fantastic, perfect mix of scary and smart. I actually think it helps a lot in these aggressive tense situations that she's a woman (not so obvious in a male dominated legal world (esp this speciality) - you have to consider everything when hiring a high-end lawyer, so this was a factor I thought about and found it to be a huge plus). I can't recommend her more strongly. She's a fabulous smart lawyer who goes above and beyond for her clients, and is always available (Christmas, New Years Eve, etc - I have seen it all). Highly recommend!
Posted by Virginia
Harmeet is ethical and has a high standard of integrity. She was extremely knowledgeable about First Amendment law and understood the importance and sensitivity of interacting and communicating with the press and me about my highly publicized case. Her way of communicating was factual, calm, and accurate. Because of her ethics and integrity, I could trust her to communicate on my behalf and to me without reservation, convey the message accurately, and be honest with her answers, facts, and assessments.
Since my case was also very political, Harmeet took the time to understand the flavor of the local political scene and all the details surrounding local politics in my community. Most of all, Harmeet was able to help me assess the risk of moving forward with a particular legal strategy, such as filing a cross complaint. Her advice was sound and based on her extensive professional experience, knowledge of the law, and the facts and circumstances of my case.
I hired Harmeet because I knew I would be in good hands with her and her superb associate and staff. I highly recommend Harmeet as a lawyer and have the utmost confidence that she will always have your best interest at heart and work hard at representing you with integrity and professionalism.
Posted by a Employment client
Harmeet is an amazing person. In my experience with her, she was incredibly forthcoming and straightforward, but equally accessible and willing to explain things in layman's terms. I never felt overwhelmed with legal jargon. She always replied quickly to emails and her team is equally prompt.
I was shocked actually at how prompt she was, even to this day when I have minor questions about a case that has already resolved. Harmeet provided excellent counsel and enabled me to go into a very difficult situation with confidence and composure, ultimately allowing a favorable result. What's more, she listened to what I wanted in the matter, rather proposing actions that may have led to more money for her firm. I unequivocally recommend Harmeet and her firm and would not hesitate to have her represent me or anyone in my family in the future. I simply can't provide enough praise here. Obviously, I can't specifically mention what Harmeet did, but suffice to say she helped me through a very challenging, emotional, and difficult employment related issue. Thank you!
Posted by Robert
Harmeet and her team were very diligent and efficient about the matter I engaged them for, and earn an especially high rating because their response to my inquires typically came very fast and were very concise. Their knowledge of the law in my state and how it applied to my matter seemed spot-on. The attorney that I worked with in particular was able to frame the intricacies of the law in practical terms, which was helpful for me to make decisions.

Fantastic backpack
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I bought an Eagle Creek Afar backpack before taking a trip to Spain recently. I looked at a lot of packs and this one seemed just right. It's incredibly versatile and can hold a ton without getting too heavy. It was perfect for the flight and for day trips. I'm now using it as my everyday bag with my laptop, accessories, files, notebooks, etc. Very happy so far.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Weather forecasters in the United States may be forced to rely on European satellites for some of their weather information because of federal budget cuts.
University of Oklahoma professor Berrien Moore says only four satellites supply data for weather forecasts, and that number could drop to two.
The Durango Herald (http://bit.ly/ooLeSA ) reports panelists meeting Monday at the American Meteorological Society said they lack the solid data they need to make their case to Congress.
The federal government runs much of the country's weather-forecasting equipment.
Joplin, Mo., had two days' warning of the twister that killed 153 people in May, and emergency responders were already in place.
Moore said such precise tornado forecasts could not have been done 10 years ago, but their funding is at risk.
Jeff Lazo with the National Center for Atmospheric Research says the weather can add or subtract about $500 billion a year from the U.S. economy.
Forecasters are worried because Congress agreed to make spending cuts in last week's debt deal, but the exact targets have not been determined.
Jon Malay, American Meteorological Society president, said he was pleased to hear President Barack Obama say there are some things the federal government needs to do, like providing weather satellites.

Family loved it!
Oct 12, 2007
By M. Rabon "Mary Jefferson"
It is hard to please everyone in my family, but everyone loved the Shepherd's Pie I made, using this product. My picky son asked me to make this often, so here I am looking to buy more!

Took a chance...came up a winner.
Aug 05, 2013
By Marty Thon
Shepherd's Pie is one of my favorite meals. Never had Colman's Shepherd's Pie mix but Colman's has a sterling reputaion in U.K. (no pun intended) so figured I'd try it...was not disappointed. I am by myself (a widower) and not particularly enamored of cooking but this was easy to make and produced a satisfying end result. I doubt you could go wrong.

Just what I wanted
Jan 16, 2014
By Peter Mac manus
Just what I wanted and I am happy with the order. It would be 5 stars but some of the packs were out of date as in the use by date was too old.
BEST shepherd's pie ever!
Mar 01, 2013
By Gardenia 15
I love shepherd's pie and have made it many times, but I've found it to be hit and miss, not always as tasty as I'd like. Then I found Colman's shepherd's pie mix in the grocery store. It was a bit pricey, but I tried it anyway. Well, what a difference! It is absolutely DELICIOUS, and makes every shepherd's pie a success. My grandson, six years old, requests it every time he visits me, and the two-year-old loves it as well. I do suggest adding a bit more water than it recommends, as it is very thick when prepared according to the directions on the package. I also add corn to it, which is extra delicious. You can customize it any way you like; it's the combination of spices in the package that make all the difference. It's not too expensive if you buy it in quantity- I gave some of it out as Christmas presents!

Buyer Beware
Mar 21, 2014
By jellobnaner
This mix arrived with an expiration date that was one week away. These items should have been put in the trash, not sold. If you buy this at a local store, you have an expiration date on the package of one year. These were ready to be discarded and someone decided to take them home and sell them on Amazon. I will NEVER buy from this person again. For all I know, this may have been salvaged from a dumpster.
