Hollywood stars help sustain Darfur aid flights: WFP
GENEVA (Reuters) - Money from Europe and a charity co-founded by Hollywood actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle will help maintain humanitarian flights in Darfur through April, the United Nations said on Friday.
The $6 million donated by Ireland, the European Union and the Clooney-backed Not On Our Watch will allow the U.N.'s World Food Programme (WFP) to hire helicopters and aircraft to ferry aid workers to Sudan's war-torn region for 30 days.
The WFP's air link carries some 8,000 aid workers from 160 organizations to, from and within Darfur each month, WFP spokeswoman Christiane Berthiaume said.
"We have received some funds which will allow us to maintain the flights for the month of April," she told a news briefing but added the reprieve is only short term as a further $71 million is needed to operate the service for the rest of 2008.
"It is vital to maintain the service especially at a time when insecurity reigns," she said.
The western Sudanese region of Darfur is the site of the world's largest aid operation. International experts estimate five years of conflict have killed 200,000 people and driven 2.5 million from their homes.
Aid workers are increasingly at risk in Darfur where rebel groups and militias have split into factions, some of them merely bandits without political agendas who prey on civilians for their own survival.
Bandits killed three WFP truck drivers in separate attacks earlier this month in Darfur and south Sudan.
Securing long-term funding for humanitarian flights in Sudan is essential, 14 international aid agencies said in a joint statement issued on Friday. Continued...

Great time, but too many unattended children: Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by cruisers23
Overall Member Rating
Great time, but too many unattended children
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
Food portions seemed a little smaller on this cruise, so we usually ordered more than one main course at dinner. Lines at the buffet and other food lines are a bit of an issue on the Conquest, as the ship allows for more people than other ships in similar size.
Rooms: We picked a balcony for the first time in our 5 cruises and I loved it. My husband doesn't seem to feel it was worth the extra $1,000; but it was pretty neat. We ordered room service almost every More morning and were able to enjoy breakfast on the balcony. Room service has a very limited menu, but enough to get you going. The room was very clean, but I always take my can of Lysol and Clorox wipes to get the extra germs out.
Conquest staff were all very nice and helpful. It is fun to learn where they are all from. Less
Published 03/25/11
Cabin review: 6217
Cabin was great, we had a balcony. We enjoyed being able to look at where we were without getting out of bed. The only disappointment had to do with the kids constantly running up and down the hallway at all hours of day/night.
Port and Shore Excursions
Shopping is good if you get in the downtown area. The further you get from the main street the better the prices are. I got an authentic Mexico soccer jersey for $20 (started out at 45). My husband found one his size closer to the ship and had to pay $35 (very same jersey, other than size).
Cozumel has so much to offer and is a very safe place to do just about anything. Some in our group felt unsafe with everything going on in Mexico. I have heard it cost more than a days wages for a local to take the ferry from Playa to Cozumel; so they don't seem to have as much of the beggars as you get from the mainland.
Mr. Sanchos is a good beach to stop at on the West side.
If you go to the other side of the island, stop at Rasta's on a huge corner. cheap beer and some really neat hand made crafts and bracelets/necklaces.
I can't say enough about Cozumel! You have to be crazy not to enjoy the crap out of being there.
When back in town, we ate at Margaritaville and our bill was $70 for two appetizers and a pitcher of beer. I would not recommend this stop as the food is not that great and it really was not that fun.
People in Grand Cayman are nice and it seems like a safe place.
We have taken a Dunns River Falls excursion before and would not pick it again, unless staying in Jamaica. It seemed like everyone in the world picked that excursion as the Falls were so packed! You also spend about 3 hours in a bus (1.5 each way) which is not my idea of fun.
I would really have liked to visit the Rose Hall plantation. I ordered a book on Amazon called Rose Hall's White Witch to learn more about Annie Palmer who was a plantation owner back in the 1800's. After finishing the story, I wish we would have taken that excursion.
Jamaica is not a very safe place to just walk around and do your own thing, so if you plan on an excursion during your trip; definitely do one in Jamaica.

More silver lining than cloud?
That sound you heard last week was environmentalists' heads exploding all across the land as President Bush once again took the opportunity to punt on climate change before a crowd of world leaders. Look closely enough, though, and I think you can pull a fair amount of silver lining out of this latest fiasco.
Am I the only one sensing that we've reached end game on climate change obstructionism? I mean, it's not as though the administration's stance on this issue is anything new. What is new, though, is that the U.S. is now completely and utterly isolated, with even India and China reportedly favoring more stringent measures. Meanwhile, the states continue to march forward with regional initiatives. Schwarzenegger received a hero's welcome at the UN a week ago Monday.
Yes, I would very much like to see rapid progress on a federal level before 2009. But I can't have rapid progress, so instead I'll settle for a global community that is increasingly united and energized by U.S. intransigence. More and more it feels as though the agenda is just completely running away from those seeking to block action.
Paradoxically, the last-gasp maneuvering from the administration only heightens my sense that change is coming soon and coming fast. What do you think: am I delusional? Or are we about to hit daybreak?

I intentionally delayed the weekly news roundup so the birthday post will be prominent all day yesterday (did I mention I like receiving congratulation comments??).
Here is last week's green news. It seems that there are a lot more gloom-and-doom scenario from various energy-intensive industries – chemicals, steel, paper, power, and other industrial and manufacturing sectors – now that the administration and Congress became more blue-blooded (figuratively-speaking).
Lithium battery buyout
Private equity firm Arsenal Capital bought Ferro Corporation's fine chemicals business, which is a big manufacturer of electrolytes and materials used for lithium batteries, ultracapacitors and other energy storage devices.
Silica in green tires
Rhodia and Dow Corning will develop and commercialize new silica/silane products principally to help reduce the rolling resistance of tires and hence reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in automobiles.Help in CO2 reduction
Danisco has commissioned Danish-based Danfoss Solutions (for multimillion dollars in fee) to help them reduce energy consumption in their Grindsted plant by 8-9% annually while reducing CO2 emissions by about 6,000 tonnes.
Clean Coal JV
Future Fuels and Immersive Media have formed a joint venture called Future Power PA LLC, which intends to develop an electricity generation project using a clean coal gasification technology (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
REACH for Coal Chemicals
Pittsburgh-based carbon chemical producer Koppers said that its European operations along with other coal chemical producers have formed REACH for Coal Chemicals (R4CC). The new organization is a consortium of coal chemical suppliers, producers, and customers working together with the goal of compliance with the European chemical industry directive REACH (Registration, Evaluation, and Authorisation of Chemicals).
And in ICIS news (which requires subscription):
Top US business leaders cautioned that immediate climate change legislation could cause severe damage to US chemical, steel and other major economic sectors that are already stressed by energy and feedstock costs.
Power officials warn that climate-control legislation at the national, regional and local levels in North America will force a major shift from coal to natural gas among utilities and threatens electric reliability.
German crop chemicals trade group Industrieverband Agrar (IVA) said the European Union's vote to restrict many important pesticides within five years will undermine the competitiveness of European farmers, which will lead to job losses, increase the dependence on imported food and increase food safety risks.

Japanese model Dan Mitsu has found herself in the spotlight again for yet another one of her audacious fashion choices after she turned up for a press event wearing a business jacket -- with nothing underneath it.
Mitsu, who made headlines previously when she turned up at a promotional event in skimpy lingerie, wore the outfit at a launch event of photographer Leslie Kee's Super Barney Photo Exhibition, which she modelled for, reported Takungpao.
While the outfit itself may not be that controversial -- Olivia Wilde was spotted in the same get-up at a recent public event as well -- Mitsu gave it a different dimension when she resorted to provocative poses in front of shutterbugs who were all too willing to snap away.

The Nationals decided this afternoon to give two of their top prospects in big league camp a chance to get acclimated with the team's minor league program as they optioned starting pitcher Matt Purke and infielder Anthony Rendon. The team also removed seven other players from their spring roster, including Corey Brown, Jarrett Hoffpauir, and Sandy Leon.
Bryce Harper, Washington's overall top prospect, will continue to stay with the team as he works to come back from a lower leg injury.
Purke, the Nats' third round draft pick in 2011, ended his first spring stint on a high note, earning the victory in today's 8-3 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals. The 21-year-old allowed just one hit in 1.1 innings of work against the defending World Champions. In total Purke, a rising star out of Texas Christian University, gave up five hits and one earned run in 3.1 innings pitched with Washington this spring.
All reports indicate that the left-hander looked to be nearly fully recovered from an arm issue that watered down his draft stock last season. Many initially felt after his dominant freshman performance in 2010 that Purke would be a lock to be selected in the first round in 2011, but a lingering arm injury sapped his velocity. The Nats took a chance on his tremendous upside when they drafted him in the third round, hoping that Purke would look more like the hurler who went 16-0 with a 3.02 ERA and 142 strikeouts in 2010, than the shell of his former self that only mustered 52.2 innings pitched in 2011.
Rendon, on the other hand, did not get a chance to play today in his last stint with the big league team, but did get a solid eight game look at various different positions across the infield this spring. The numbers don't tell the story for Rendon (.231/.286/.462 in 13 at bats), who managed to impress the team's front office with not only his quick bat and polished skills but also his high level of poise. He simply looked comfortable being in big-league camp, and seemed perfectly in place against big-league pitchers.
Both Rendon and Purke were re-assigned to Single-A Potomac where they will begin the 2012 season. From there, their paths to the majors will begin to diverge. Nats GM Mike Rizzo is likely to be very patient and cautious with Purke. His upside projects him to be a No. 1 or No. 2 at the major league level if everything goes right, but he needs to fully recover and learn how to pitch against professional hitting before Rizzo will be willing to throw him into the mix in Washington. Look for him to get at least four or five starts at each level before reaching Triple-A.
Rendon, on the other hand, is quite possibly the most talented and polished hitter selected by any team in the 2011 draft. We will likely see a path very similar to the one that Stephen Strasburg took in 2010 for Rendon, one that will see him make brief stops and test him at all levels. If everything goes well for Rendon, he will make his way to Triple-A by late May, and be knocking on the door to Washington by July.

I have a fun, but really sad post today! My DT term is up over at Pretty Little Studio and I would like to share one final project(s).
I created this project early in February, but we ran out of time to share it on the PLS blog, so I am sharing it here. The project is perfect for Valentine 'love', but the technique could be used for all types of crafty projects.
Want to create a treat bag with a fun little twist? How about adding your very own scratch off to a Valentine die cut or other 'secret' message.
Supplies Needed
Silver Paint (or any color)
Liquid Dish Soap
Clear Contact Paper
Step One: Trace the shape of the scratch off area on clear contact paper.
(Tip: I taped the corners of the contact paper to my surface and slid my vintage die cut underneath and traced the heart outline)
Step Two: Mix 2 parts paint, 1 part Liquid Dish Soap and apply in thin coats over traced shape. Allow to dry completely between coats. For my example, it took 3 thin coats of paint to completely cover the shape.
(Tip: I didn't have any silver paint in my stash, so I added silver Shimmerz paint to my grey paint to make silver)
Step Three: Once completely dry, cut out shape. Remove backing from contact paper and adhere on top of die cut shape.
From beginning to end, it only took about 4 hours. Super quick and super easy!
Here are some photos of each bag with some close-ups.
I hope you try it! It really was super easy and totally FUN!
Also, I haven't heard from the winner for my Stamp Carving 101 class. If I don't hear from the winner by Monday, March 4th, I will re-draw a winner! ;)
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Rep. Lankford jumps into race in Oklahoma for Coburn's Senate seat
OKLAHOMA CITY — Republican Rep. James Lankford on Monday announced his candidacy for the Senate seat left open by Sen. Tom Coburn, who said last week he will resign at the end of this congressional session.
Lankford said that reducing the nation's deficit and long-term debt and pushing for states' rights will continue to be among his top priorities in office.
"Conservatives have increasingly grown more and more frustrated and caustic when we should grow more committed and more focused," Lankford said to supporters at the Oklahoma History Center. "The problems we face today and the gridlock in Congress will be solved with a clear set of conservative solutions, a commitment to do the work, and a Senate transformation."
A longtime director of one of the nation's largest Christian youth summer camps, Lankford was a political unknown when he emerged from a crowded Republican primary field in 2010 to win the U.S. House seat. He won re-election in 2012 and was the only member of Oklahoma's House delegation to avoid a GOP primary opponent that year.
Lankford has risen quickly among the GOP leadership in the House and is the chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. He landed a spot on the House Budget Committee.
The decision by Coburn, who is battling a recurrence of cancer, to resign the seat two years early has turned a somewhat predictable election year in Oklahoma on its head. The special election will coincide with the regular election cycle in 2014, meaning there will be two Senate seats on the ballot in Oklahoma as Sen. Jim Inhofe seeks re-election.
"A week ago, we were talking about a concern for voter intensity. I think this takes care of that," said Dave Weston, chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party.
Lankford has the advantage of a hefty campaign account. He reported more than $450,000 in cash on hand at the end of September, the most recent report available, and that can be used for a Senate campaign. Bridenstine had about $180,000 in cash at the end of September.
Lankford declined to say how much he has raised, but the next campaign finance report is due next week.

Don't worry :) This is not a real salami. This dessert is called that way just because it looks like salami. :)
Today, Irina who runs IrinaPhotography shop is sharing a recipe of this easy to cook great dessert.
You will need:
1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs
3 table spoon of cocoa powder
1 stick of unsalted butter (115 gr)
5 table spoon of milk
1 lb of cookies or biscuits
1 cup of walnut pieces
Who has Trader Joe's store nearby, can use "Cats cookies for people". Well, this is just cookie. :) The name may sound confusing, that's why there is a picture of them. But if Trader Joe's in not reachable for you, you can use any type of cookies that are pretty much crackly and sweet.
First, the cookies should be powdered in grinder or food processor.
Than add walnut pieces to the cookie powder and mix it. Set aside the mixture.
Put eggs, sugar, and cocoa powder in non-stick pot. I prefer non-stick because it's easier to clean it after the desert is ready, but you may use whatever you want. Just keep in mind that the pot will be heated up. Whisk all ingredients until the mixture is smooth. Than add milk and completely melted butter. Whisk again and place the pot on medium-high heat.
Whisk it continuously, and bring it to the condition when it just about to start bubbling. Immediately remove from heat. Don't let it bubbling! It should look like chocolate souse.
Pour the mixture into ground cookies with walnuts and mix it thoroughly.
It should look like wet clay but short-brittle.
Then put this "clay" into plastic bag; smash and press it until the "clay" become smooth.
In the end, the mixture should look like a smooth clay. Put it on a sheet of foil or plastic wrap, and form it as a salami... or log. :)
Wrap and roll for better result.
Than cover the "salami" with foil or plastic wrap and put it into fridge for several hours until it firm.
That's it. :) Time for preparation is 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LAbham from Love this Linen Duvet. I would definitely order again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MeowMiss from Do Soft!!! Nothing compares to linen sheets and these do not disappoint. Even on sale they are pricey, but there is no substitute! Forget about thread count and try these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leafer from Great Product The pillow cases are so nicely edged, it is definitely quality fabric. I was disappointed in the color, which seemed much lighter than shown in the picture. I would have liked a darker color. But, still love the sheets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimmy209 from Great sheets The Elaine Fisher linen sheets are great. So comfortable, making getting out of bed in the morning even harder.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sappy from A treat! I am very happy with this duvet cover and pillow cases (I use the king cases in lieu of shame). I was confused by the photo dipiction because it looks as though the decorative edges are on all pieces but it's only on sheets and pillow cases not duvet cover or shams. Beautiful colors. Beautiful construction. This was a big purchase for my budget and it feels like a special and rewarding treat.

Has anybody tried washing these in hot water? Did they hold up?
I like to wash sheets in hot water and dry on hot setting because of my dust mite allergy. Would love to try these but they are too expensive for me to experiment with!
I've washed in warm and dried on high with no problem.

It says do not bleach. What if you get the pure white?
I have kids and pets... I kind of like the earthenware, but would get the pure white if I can bleach it.
I read on another site that only sells linen sheets etc that Oxi-Clean will work with the white. I've been using it on my white EF linen sheets and all other whites for over a year and it works well. Does not yellow the fabric as bleach does.

The color Rye
Can customer service and hopefully customers who purchased the Rye color- please clarify how this color comes across? I see it, online, as a dark, stone Grey. I hear it has "brown undertones", but I can't imagine Grey- with brown, influencing the color. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much-
The rye color is a warm rich grey with a brown hue, rather than a faded or cool grey.It's in the same tonal range as charcoal but in some light it leans towards a brown - maroon/purple tones -but mostly it reads dark grey. It's a beautiful color. I hope this helps.
Date published: 2017-01-28
Is the color "Earthenware" a true gray or is it taupe (brown-gray)?
In my opinion, "Earthenware" has a very slight Olive Green hue set inside a Taupe, Brown Gray Color.
Date published: 2015-09-07
What is the longevity of 100% linen sheets vs 100% cotton, if washed weekly? How long do they last?
Linen and Cotton sheets should have about the same lifetime when cared for in the same fashion. However, there are many variables to be considered when trying to discern what a reasonable expectation of longevity would be, from water quality, detergent type, laundering method, frequency of usage, etc.

Oh one more thing, I'm happy that Envato is increasing quality barrier, etc. but at the same time "quite good" theme could get proper reviewer comment suggesting directly which parts got issues.
I understand that if some1 is making silly mistakes like me at first time – it just means I was not educated enough to get accepted, but if reviver would point out where current author is lacking than we would see much less threads asking for help. People like iKreative and few others wouldn't have to explain same thing all over again.Also I think it lacks with respect towards the author as well, some guys spend 40-50+ h on one project just to get rejected without proper explanation where they do mistakes. It's a bit silly IMO , some people probably would say rude.
@freshface : Your comment its the best critique / advice i have seen in themeforest ( reviewers icluded) you should be a reviewer too. Really thanks.

Seriously, with this type of revisions advices, how the authors can improve his themes ???
Well we make all the changues suggested by the forums users, and as many as possible suggested by the revisors. My question is this:

New Book Claims Fox News Chief Was "Brainchild" Behind 2012 Anti-Obama Attack Ad
Blog ››› ››› SOPHIA TESFAYE
A new book calls into question Fox News' denial of any involvement by CEO Roger Ailes with an anti-Obama video that aired twice on Fox & Friends during the contentious 2012 presidential campaign. According to Gabriel Sherman's new unauthorized biography of Ailes, he was actually the "brainchild" behind the video and even proclaimed, "I want to elect the next president."
The New York Times obtained a copy of Sherman's The Loudest Voice In The Room ahead of its January 21 release and revealed that according to the book, Ailes was involved in the creation of the four-minute Fox & Friends video that labeled Obama's first term as full of broken promises, despite Fox executives' denial of Ailes' involvement at the time. According to Sherman, Ailes was the "brainchild" behind the video (emphasis added):
In his book, Mr. Sherman, a contributing editor at New York magazine, follows Mr. Ailes from his boyhood in Ohio to his perch as one of the most powerful figures in the history of television.Despite being unsatisfied with many of the Republican candidates for president in 2012, Mr. Ailes endeavored to promote Mitt Romney on Fox News programs, the book says. Before the Wisconsin congressman Paul D. Ryan was chosen as Mr. Romney's running mate, Mr. Ailes advised Mr. Ryan that his television skills needed work and recommended a speech coach.
At the beginning of the general election, a four-minute video criticizing President Obama's policies was broadcast on "Fox and Friends," provoking outrage from the left and prompting the network to say publicly that Mr. Ailes had no involvement in its creation. In "The Loudest Voice in the Room," Mr. Sherman writes that the video "was Ailes's brainchild."
In the Fox & Friends video -- which was essentially a four-minute anti-Obama attack ad -- loud, ominous music is played along with graphics that intend to show the supposed broken promises of the Obama administration since 2008. Following negative backlash to the video, it was scrubbed from Fox websites and Fox executives dodged any direct responsibility for it. A spokesperson for the network said that Fox News president Roger Ailes "was not aware of the video," and Bill Shine, Fox executive vice president of programming, claimed that the video "was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network."
These latest revelations perhaps give more insight into why Fox News and its hosts and contributors have been working for more than a year to attack the credibility of Sherman and his book.

The ever well preserved Carmen Electra was spotted exiting a restaurant somewhere in LA last night, breaking out a little fake titty see thru action from her sheer dress. You gotta respect Carmen. Sure, she's kinda fake in that 90s holdover sort of way, which seems to have moved out of fashion thankfully. I give Carmen a pass there because that's just how many hotties got it done the era of hottie history she comes from. And because she's been putting out the hotness fairly consistently for 2 decades now. Not many of her fellow Baywatch alums can say that. She doesn't show any signs of slowing down either, even in her 40s. Hell, I'd say she's even better now than she was back in the day. A little seasoning of time has done her good. She's more confident now which allows her to own her hotness better. She certainly comes with much less shirtless Hasselhoff nowadays, which is always a good thing.
Then there's this guy, who's either Carmen's hypnotized man servant or has some deer ancestry.
