The Real Reason Why Gore Lost the Election!!!
What sounds somewhat silly and inconsequential is actually quite influential in the development of a man's sense of self and in his placement within the social environment: his hair part choice.
Forget Florida - in this presidential election, although Vice-President Gore should have won easily by a large margin around the country, he struggled and failed, for no apparent reason except he didn't "seem" presidential and wasn't an "alpha male". This criticism came consistently from his supporters as well as from his detractors.
Only 3 out of 43 (or 6.97%) American presidents had an unchanged right hair part. These were James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding and Ronald W. Reagan, and these three were given some of the worst rankings in presidential history (Ridings and McIver; Rating the Presidents, 1997).
Why is this so? We believe the reason is found in our Hair Part Theory©. When a person has a defined hair part, they are drawing subconscious attention of the viewer to the activities on that side of the brain. Left-brain activities are traditionally attributed to masculinity and right-brain activities are traditionally attributed to femininity. Therefore, a man who parts his hair on the right, and who is striving for positive assessment in a traditionally male role is at risk for having a negative or confused response from viewers, whereas a man with a left part is much more likely to inspire confidence as a leader.
In addition, over time, consistent social response can affect a man's personality. A right-parting man often develops stilted and uneasy social skills, while a left-parting man usually moves smoothly through the crowds.
We find this to be fascinating data as well as an intriguing story, and we hope you do also. For more information about the Hair Part Theory or about the True Mirror® (the world's only mirror that shows you as others see you), please visit our website at www.truemirror.com. Full statistical data of our presidential history and of the 104th Congress is also available upon request.

One of the great innovators in shapewear, Miraclesuit has been flattering figures for over 50 years. Continuing with their goal of creating garments that make you look 10lbs lighter in 10 seconds, they've introduced the one-piece Sanibel Swimsuit by Miraclesuit, one of the finest and most fashionable slimming swim suits. The best thing about this garment is that for all of the technology and excellent design features that went into creating it, you never actually think about them as shapewear when you're wearing it. Just put it on and look slimmer when it's time to swim.
There is a front tummy control panel, crafted from their patented slimming fabric, Miratex which contains three times the amount of Spandex you would find in a normal swimsuit. In fact, the entire piece is constructed with fabric of the future, to tone and trim, your entire torso. The design of this suit gives great control to the hips and tummy, while lifting and rounding the rear. Softcups are built in and lightly padded, providing shaping and support, while preventing nipple show through. And best of all, ruching sweeps down diagonally and wraps around your waist, creating a visual impression of a slimmer midsection, which is very flattering. Last but not least, this garment has no closures to fuss with. Just step into it and look better. Wear this item your way: pair it with a chic cover-up, layer it with a swim skirt or swim short, or wear it all by itself. No matter how you style it, in the Sanibel Swimsuit by Miraclesuit, you'll enjoy the cool and confidence that comes when you finally find that perfect swimsuit.

Irish Echo
March 5, 07
Dear Editor,
"Let no man blaspheme the cause that the dead generation of
Ireland served...". With these words, the undisputed leader of
the 1916 Easter Monday uprising in Dublin, admonished fellow
mourners at the graveside of Irish patriot O'Donovan Rossa in
1915 to stand fast in the cause of freedom and republicanism. He
eloquently and unequivocably described that cause as the same
cause belonging to the long list of Irish Republican heroes
going back to Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen. That cause
involved giving voice to the sovereign right of Irish
self-determination free of English rule by breaking all
connections with the foreign occupation. That same Republican
tradition also spawned the Young Irelanders, the Fenians, the
Gaelic League, the Irish Republican Brotherhood in Ireland and
the Clan na Gael in America. Then in 1905, Sinn Fein became the
focus of the political movement of Irish Separatism. After the
uprising the rebels were thought by many to be cranks and
extremists without popular mandate. However, less than three
years later the all-Ireland Republic was in fact established and
declared as a result of the exercise in self-determination of
the great majority of the Irish electorate. Their chosen
candidates in the British elections of 1918 abstained from their
seats in the British controlled parliament and instead formed
the first Dail Eireann.
I am happy to see that that same Republican legacy is being
carried on and exemplified again along side the Stormont
partitioned elections of March 7. Both British Unionists and
Irish nationalists including Provisional Sinn Fein under the
leadership of Gerry Adams will if elected take their seats in
the partitioned assembly to administer British rule and support
its enforcement by the crown police force. But opposing these
candidates are Irish Republicans who if elected will not take
seats in the British assembly but will continue to seek support
for an Irish separatist assembly as their forbears did in 1918.
Tone said 'BREAK the connection with England' and if I say
'MAINTAIN the connection with England', I may be preaching a
saner (as I am certainly preaching a safer) gospel than his, but
I am obviously not preaching the same gospel. Separatism is in
fact the national position. Whenever an Irish leader has take up
a position different from the national position, he has been
repudiated by the next generation." P.H. Pearse
Eventually the suppressed Irish instinct for freedom will move
again like a wave over the land and the people will again give
legitimate authority to an Irish assembly exposing the usurping
illegitimacy of the British presence in Ireland. "Let no man
blaspheme the cause......by giving it any other name or
definition than their name and their definition."

On the mark
Mr. Sackett and Mr. Hoffman were both on the
mark regarding their comments on what a
Republican was. Mr. Adams and company have
been abandoning the Republican dogmas for
some years now. Mr. Sackett is correct to
say that, "A Republican participating in or
supporting a British colonial government, is
an oxymoron." The provisionals are no longer
a Republican organization. It began with the
recognition of Leinster House and the
erosion of Republican doctrine ever since.
Not all of us recognized it at the time;
indeed many people dismissed the change in
Sinn Fein's abstentionist policy as minor.
It was the classic example of the "slippery
As I type this letter, news has emerged that
the provisionals will now wear the British
uniform of the RUC/PSNI. What exactly do
they stand for now? They have accepted
partition, keen to administer British rule
in Ireland and will no doubt do the Crown's
bidding in all matter in the future. To
accept the seats in Stormont, Leinster House
and to join the RUC is to sanction 800
years of British rule in Ireland.
Adams can only be compared to John Redmond,
the leader of the Home Rule party who. Like
Adams, encouraged Irishmen to wear a British
uniform some ninety plus years ago. The
outcome will no less be the same. Ireland
will be no closer to unity and independence
than it was 37 years ago with the officials
plans, 80 years ago with De Valera's plans,
or 87 years ago with Collins' plans. Each
approach only produced another political
party making many claims and delivering very

Not the same
As the provisionals complete their journey
to partnership with the British
establishment, I could not help but to think
of the 1986 Sin Fein Ard Feis. If one takes
the time to examine Mr. Adams's address,
several points seem to stand out. He claimed
that by taking seats in Leinster House, "..a
struggle such as ours can be advanced by
opening up another front..". He later goes
on to say, "as the political conditions
change so must republican strategy change."
Initial reactions to such statements are
benign. However, when looked at within the
context of where the provisional philosophy
has moved to, one must draw other
Leinster House was not, is not, and will
never be a front. It is an institution of
partition. Its very existence is to maintain
and preserve the status quo. As for the
comment concerning Republican strategy;
yes, strategy should be flexible.
Notwithstanding strategy and principles are
not the same thing. A principle is a
fundamental truth. A strategy is a means to
see that truth fulfilled. Abstentionism is
part and parcel with the Easter Proclamation
and the Second Dail Eireann in recognition
of the
That being said, abstenstionism is a
principle just like any other principle that
should not be compromised or tampered with
by any honest Republican. Unfortunately, the
provisionals appear to have no principles
other than to be power brokers in the
British government. If you stand for
nothing, you will fall for anything. This is
what has happened with Mr. Adams and his
Ironically, we currently see Mr. Adams
rolling out the same slogans, catch phrases
and rhetoric that he used in 1986. He claims
joining the RUC is another " phase" in the
struggle. Nonsense! I'm waiting for the time
when he might use DeValera's "empty formula"
excuse to take seats in the British House of
Commons. This all goes to vindicate
O'Bradiagh, O'Connell and others who warned
Republicans long ago of this wolf in sheeps

Irish Echo Jan.
On the surface, the latest
political debate in Ireland appears to be about civilian
policing in the six counties. But to republican minded people
the issue has more to do with the legitimizing and enforcement
of British rule in Ireland.
It comes down to the basic
issue of what form of government will one support? For Celtic
societies reaching back to antiquity, freedom was always the
predominant desire. It is therefore no mystery that the Irish
people as a whole have chosen the republic as the type of
government under which they want to live. Freedom and the
Republic go hand in hand. As every native born American knows,
our freedom from tyranny was and remains the result of our
representative republican government. Of the people for the
people and by the sovereign people of America. In 1798 that same
knowledge inspired Theobold Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen,
mostly Protestants from Ulster, to strike against England for an
Irish republic. They "regarded the connection between Ireland
and Great Britain as the curse of the Irish nation ... whilst it
lasted, this country could never be free or happy." To the
British and Unionists, republicanism is subversive and looked
upon as criminal activity. Thus the GFA directive to criminalize
Irish republicans by doing away with political prisoner status.
Beginning in 1905, the Sinn
Fein (ourselves alone) movement swept the country. At the first
opportunity in 1918 in the only all-Ireland general election
ever held, the sovereign will of the Irish electorate spoke out
when the overwhelming majority voted in Sinn Fein members whose
policy of abstention was to establish Dail Eireann rather than
take their seats in the British parliament. The sovereign 32
county Irish republic was then established in 1919. The response
of the empire to this display of Irish sovereignty was the
imprisonment of Irish government officials and military
enforcement of the British Government of Ireland Act of 1920
which created the partitionist governments in Dublin's Leinster
House and Stormont both of which by their very existence
suppressed the new Irish republic.
For Patrick Pearse in writing
of Irish republican principles at Christmas 1915, there was no
evasion, equivocation or double-talk; "If we today are fighting
for something either greater than or less than the thing our
fathers fought for, either our fathers did not fight for freedom
at all, or we are not fighting for freedom. If I do not hold the
faith of Tone; and if Tone was not a heretic, then I am. If Tone
said, 'BREAK the connection with England', and if I say
'MAINTAIN the connection with England', I may be preaching a
saner (as I am certainly preaching a safer) gospel than his, but
I am obviously not preaching the same gospel. Separatism, in
fact, is the national position. Whenever an Irish leader has
taken up a position different from the national position he has
been repudiated by the next generation. ... The chain of the
Separatist tradition has never once snapped during the
Imperial British rule in
Ireland is undemocratic and a denial of Irish national
sovereignty and is only maintained by the threat of armed force.
Freedom loving republicans will surely continue the separatist
tradition rather than collaboration. A republican participating
in or supporting a British colonial government is an oxy-moron.

A vote for Sinn Fein is a vote for partition
A vote for Sinn Fein says 'Keep the border'
I WRITE this letter with deep sadness and great anger.
Sad that many honourable republicans are being hoodwinked and
cajoled into accepting a British agenda by a leadership who are
using the loyalty that the grass roots have shown throughout the
years of struggle and suffering.
Anger at a leadership expert at total in-house control with no
room for criticism or another point of view.
I am not a dissident (I count myself mainstream) but I am a free
thinker and speak as I see it.
Myself and another 12 ex-prisoners, internees, blanket men where
I live have never been asked our thoughts on the policing issue.
So much for the in-depth discussions the movement is supposed to
have with all the republican family - not just members of Sinn
We are bombarded with clichés like "You have to see the bigger
picture" as if we are incapable of having a constructive or
alternative view to that of the leadership.
The leadership vowed there would never be a 'rusty bullet'
handed over to the British.
What did they get in return for ecommissioning?
Nothing - Paisley just moved on to his next demand - policing.
So after the surrender of all its arms the leadership is asking
republicans to take up arms again but this time in a six-county
police force.
A force involved in the slaughter of republicans in particular
in Armagh and Tyrone.
A force under investigation for 75 killings.
A force whose members by their own admission used child
A force that batoned us at the funerals of our republican dead.
A force that brutalised us in its interrogation centres -
including some of the dead hungerstrikers who were forced to
implicate themselves under torture.
It is ironic that 25 years after beating Thatcher's
criminalisation policy with 10 of the bravest dead on hunger
strike - republicans are going to criminalise themselves by
joining and supporting such a tainted force?
As an ex-prisoner who spent years on the blanket, all of this is
deeply hurtful and nearly beyond belief. The six-county police
force is obligated under British law to uphold and enforce
(under arms) the constitutional position and that, of course, is
If Sinn Fein supports or joins the six-county police force, a

ON Saturday October 21, I attended a book launch sponsored by
Indiana University Press at O'Lunney's restaurant in Manhattan.
The book, called Ruairi O'Bradaigh, The Life and Politics of an
Irish Revolutionary, was the product of 20 years research by
author Robert W. White, dean of the School of Liberal Arts and
professor of sociology.
Dr. White's comments at the event drew a clear distinction
between Mr. O'Bradaigh's position as the leader of the Irish
Republican movement for the last 36 years, and Gerry Adams'
position as leader of a political party whose main agenda is
sharing power in a British sectarian statelet demanding equal
Mr. O'Bradaigh came to public notice at the 1970 Sinn Fein Ard
Fheis (convention) when he and fellow Republicans walked out
after irreconcilable differences over the 1918 Republican
principle of abstention and separation from British partitioned
administrations. They took with them the Sinn Fein constitution
intact and its defense of the 32 county Irish Republic
established in 1919 by the sovereign will of the Irish
The organization was renamed Provisional Sinn Fein and Mr.
O'Bradaigh was elected its first president and held that
position until succeeded by Adams in 1983. The
anti-abstentionist faction became known as Official Sinn Fein.
Little did O'Bradaigh know at the time that he and fellow
Republicans would be forced to do a repeat performance at the
1986 Provisional Sinn Fein Ard Fheis over the same issue of
abstention. Again they walked out with the Sinn
Fein constitution intact and reconvened as Republican Sinn Fein.
He was again elected president and still holds that position
Not only did the Provisionals join Leinster House in Dublin, but
also Stormont and Westminster in 1998. According to Provisional
Sinn Fein Councilor Francie Molloy, they are now "prepared to
administer British rule in Ireland for the foreseeable future.
The very principle of partition is accepted."
Journalist Ed Moloney, who wrote the forward to the book, also
provides another detailed account of the Provisionals' gradual
departure from Republicanism into six county community
egalitarianism in his recent book A
Secret History of the IRA.
The Provisionals' political rivals north and south still refer
to them as Republicans, but that self-serving misnomer aids the
rivals in gloating over the apparent defeat of Irish
Republicanism and Sinn Fein's absorption into a
partitionist Assembly rather than remaining opposed to its
The two partitioned states in
Ireland were created by the British in order to suppress the
infant 32 county Irish Republic. By definition, Irish
Republicanism and British imperialism are diametrically opposed.

support of the sovereign and free 32 county Ireland.

At least Adams can enter the US
28 September 2006
You report that Gerry Adams,
while in the US, finds it odd that he is banned from fundraising
and collecting millions from suporters here.
Yet, he has no such trouble from
the governments of the Free State and Britain, and the UK even
pays his salary.
At least Gerry can get into the
US! This is not the case for the politcal leaders of Republican
Sinn Fein.
Those leaders continue to face a
visa denial from the US government of coming to America to
inform and engage in discourse with their supporters as to their
road map for the failing Stormont Agreement.
Republican Sinn Fein has been
being gagged by co-operating governments and press to supress
their Eire Nua proposals for a lasting peace in Ireland.
At least Mr Adams can get his
"message" out, while those who refuse to accept the right of
Britain to govern the Irish, Republican Sinn Fein, are denied
having their message heard.

Saoirse Dec. 05
Irish Imperative
Speaking from New York recently, Provisional Sinn Fein front man
Gerry Adams has called for unionist and loyalist leaders to
enter into direct dialog with the provisional leadership to
discuss peace. The current Provisional Sinn Fein leadership
missed the chance for that dialog at Feakle (County Clare)
Ireland thirty years ago.
Gerry Adam's request to the unionist and loyalist community is a
mockery, and will only serve to inflame the sectarian violence
that plagues Ireland today. The Eire Nua Federal Peace Program
was put forward by the then, Irish Republican movement at the
1974 Feakle Peace Talks, which included prominent clergy men who
represented the broad spectrum of the unionist and loyalist
community. Out of all the attempts for peace over the last
thirty years Feakle offered the highest prospect for success,
but was undermined by the Dublin government, and dismissed by
Gerry Adams as a, "Sop to Unionists."
The sectarian violence that exists in Ireland today is deep
rooted in a lack of trust for the British government and their
underwriters that currently govern Ireland, north and south. The
Good Friday Agreement spawned from these forces, and
administered by the provisional leadership in Ireland, offers
false hopes to both sides of the manufactured divide. It is now
time to revive Feakle, it is now time revive the leaderships who
strive for a just and lasting peace in Ireland before more
damage is done.

Belfast Telegraph Dec.
on retaining British control of occupied six counties
Eire Nua is an
Irish drafted peace formula designed to achieve Irish
reunification in the context of a British withdrawal from
the occupied six Irish counties.
Since the early
Eighties, a faction within the Republican Movement in
Ireland conspired to jettison Eire Nua for an unspecified
new approach to Irish reunification.
Their agents,
including Donaldson, convinced many activists in the US to
abandon Eire Nua by simply saying "trust the leadership,
they have a better plan."
In an affront
to US jurisprudence, they also had the audacity to threaten
and replace non-compliant leaders of independent
American-based organisations with lackeys.
It now seems
that the better plan was a British plan all along.
In the final
analysis it matters little, as the Provisionals are paid
British agents, some operating overtly, some covertly, all
intent on fostering and maintaining British control in the
six occupied counties.
After all, this
plan provides for high-flying lifestyles for the privileged
few within the Provisional ranks.

Derry News Sept. 05
Martin McGuinness, whilst condemning the recent attack on the
RUC recruiting sergeant Denis Bradley, said that those
responsible were "beyond the Pale". McGuinness has clearly
implicated dissident republicans in relation to this
condemnation. McGuinness has used quite interesting terminology.
The Pale was a small area around Dublin which the British
controlled in medieval times; to be "beyond the Pale" was to
beyond British control.
It was a
term used to describe the native Gael who would not bow to
English rule. The republicans whom Martin McGuinness referred to
as "beyond the Pale" will no doubt be happy to hear this
description considering its historical connotations, whilst it
is very clear that looking at recent history, McGuinness and his
ilk are very much within the Pale.
CREGGAN REPUBLICAN (name and address supplied)
Irish Voice July 05
Gaelic Is Thriving
It's a bit sad to watch John Spain suffer some kind of frantic
break from reality whenever someone mentions the Irish language.
In his column in the June 22-28 issue, Spain claimed that the
language is spoken by "probably less than 100,000." Well, if
that were accurate, that would still be a pretty significant
number of people in a small country who deserve the basic and
internationally-recognized inalienable human right to speak
their own language.
But, as we know, the Republic's latest census (2001) reported
that at least 1,570,894 (42% of the Republic's population) claim
fluency in Irish, and by all estimates personal daily usage is
somewhere in between the two numbers.
Besides being 15 times John's number (where does he get this
stuff?), that's double the 789,429 (28% of population) reported
only a generation ago in the 1971 census, and triple the lowest
reported number of 540,802 (19% of population) reported in the
1926 census.
If this trend were to continue, one has to wonder how long it
would take before Irish re-establishes itself as Ireland's
majority language. And by all objective measures, denied by no
one, more people can now read and write the language than at any
other time in the language's roughly 2,500-year history.
Further, none of these numbers captures the worldwide explosion
of Irish language usage on the Internet among the Irish Diaspora.
So some kind of renaissance is obviously going on, despite
whatever Spain has to say about it, which is apparently a lot
and wholly inaccurate.
Spain claims that Irish kids are the worst linguists in Europe
because of the Irish language, when actually by all reports
English kids are the worst linguists in Europe and
Irish-speaking kids are among the best linguists in Europe.
Spain seems particularly incensed that Irish speakers have
finally won, through the 2003 Official Languages Act, the right
to use just their own language in their own communities, even on
their road signs. One can imagine John landing in France and
demanding that "Pee-Air" explain to him in English how to get to
"Pah-Ree." As a friend said recently, if you want to explore the
world through English, you can always go to Disneyland.
He then proceeds to attack the language on an economic basis,
pointing out that it would be cheaper, worldwide, if everyone
were to speak English, therefore the basic human rights of
non-English-speakers like the Irish should be ignored or
Well, yes, dictatorships are always less expensive and more
efficient to operate, and yes, it's unfortunate that the Tower
of Babel fell, so now people around the world speak different
languages instead of God's own original language, English.
But it's hard to imagine that the Norwegians, Welsh, Czechs,
Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Ukrainians, Poles, Israelis,
Québequois, American Indians, Polynesians, Aborigines, Basque,
Catalonians, Galicians, Flemish, Finns, Xhosa, Zulu, etc., will
readily give up their right to speak their own languages just
because John Spain has decided what's best for them, having
fought so hard to win back that right from various other
imperialists, dictators, and conquerors over the last 150 years.
And if the almighty dollar (or euro) is the only criterion by
which to teach a subject in or out of school, why not get rid of
God, religion, athletics, art, history, music, philosophy,
social studies, and literature? I'm not too sure about science
either, given that not many kids become scientists.
Why not just stick to math for business, computer tech for
business, and, well, that's enough for a kid to learn, isn't it?
Especially given Spain's opinion that Irish kids are too stupid
to learn both their own language and English, despite the fact
that most other countries around the world now teach their
children their own language plus two or three or four other
languages including English.
Personally, I don't subscribe to John's claim that Irish
children can't learn. Instead, for me, the natural assumption
would be that the problem has been the teaching method, not the
kids. As an American, I certainly had no problem teaching Irish
to my kids here in America.
The Irish language is not only alive and kicking, but undergoing
some kind of renaissance. And instead of being subjected to
Spain's rantings, I'll bet your readership would like to see the
Irish Voice undertake an actual, factual attempt to report on
what's going on with the worldwide Irish language renaissance.
How about it?

Stop Visa
I was very pleased to see the recent letters from Sean O' Lubaigh and
Brian Wardlow regarding the Eire Nua peace proposal and the visa
denial policy which has been used by the U.S. government against
proponents of this plan.
The Eire Nua peace proposal holds the potential of achieving what the
Belfast Agreement has failed to deliver - a peaceful, sovereign
Ireland which would guarantee, as the Proclamation of the
Republic states, "religious and civil liberty, equal rights and
equal opportunities to all its citizens."
Irish Americans have a right to learn about the merits of Eire Nua first
hand from its most eloquent proponents. Yet the visa denial
policy prevents such individuals from entering the U.S.
States despite the fact that they clearly pose no threat to
American security, and despite the fact that there is
ample evidence to conclude that the Belfast Agreement is dead in
the water.
One must ask oneself why they are barred from speaking about an
alternative peace plan when one would certainly seem to be
The State Department, in their misguided attempts to make
post-September 11 America a safer place, and as quid pro
quo for British cooperation in the "war in terror," have cheated
the American people of their right to hear the merits of
Eire Nua from those who can best explain it. They have cheated
the Irish people by censoring a proposal which seeks to bring a
just and lasting peace. The State Department must, in the
interests of peace in Ireland and freedom in America, end its
policy of denying visas to proponents of Eire Nua.
Robert Fitzgerald, St. Paul, Minnesota
Irish Voice June 2005
Attack Ignored
The Irish Troubles are unfortunately far from over. In spite of what the
mass media would have us believe, there is in fact a reasonable,
non-sectarian, feasible peaceful alternative to the failed,
so-called Good Friday Agreement.
This alternative unites the island of Ireland in way that is
fair, responsible, and would make for a healthy country for all.
That proposal is named Eire Nua (New Ireland).
Unfortunately those who support this viable alternative are
banned from sharing their ideas in the U.S. through visa denials
and instead are branded as terrorists.
While I'd like to use this letter to promote Eire Nua more, I've learned
of a situation this morning that your readers should be made
aware of immediately.
Friday night (June 10, early June 11) after a tribute ballad event for a
deceased Irish community worker, Frank Gartland, members and
supporters of organizations that support the Eire Nua peace
proposal were brutally assaulted and arrested in Tallaght,
outside of Dublin. Youth, women, men, even a young person
suffering from Cerebral Palsy were pistol whipped, beaten,
threatened and arrested without a warrant, and so far without
any charges.
While this sort of brutality might have been a common occurrence
in Belfast in the 1980s, this is just outside of Dublin
today, in an Ireland that greatly contrasts the image the
Provos, British and American governments and media would
have us believe exists.
As I type this there has been no coverage of the attack in the
media and chances are any mention will be done solely by
concerned individuals. And that's what I'm doing with this
letter. If your readers would like to learn more about this
situation, I encourage them to visit the following websites -

Fianna Eireann at www.fiannaeireann.com.

Stop All Visa Denial.
The editorial on the visa
denial to the Provisional Sinn Fein U.S. representative
Rita O'Hare in last week's issue was right on the mark.
This policy of visa denial to be used as a political tool or a reward or
punishment gesture is an ongoing tactic that is still being used
against leading members of Republican Sinn Fein for years
now. Why? Not because of a glitch in some previous travels to
the U.S. It is because Republican Sinn Fein refuses to
compromise on the core beliefs of the Republican movement
and will not accept the right of any Brit legal authority
in any part of Ireland. No matter how much pressure is brought
to bear on Republican Sinn Fein and the Republican
movement by Dublin, London or Washington, it is the right
of the Irish alone to determine their course of action. The U.S. visa
denial of Republican Sinn Fein members has led to a
one-sided failed peace process, where all discourse is limited
to one solution, the Good Friday Agreement. We are led to
believe there is only one option out there, but there is
not! Republican Sinn Fein has put forth their realistic
blueprint towards peace and unity with justice in their
Eire Nua political paper policy.
Eire Nua sets in motion the road to an independent federal type democratic
socialist republic, contingent on a complete Brit disengagement
from Ireland in orderly fashion north, south, east and west.
Eire Nua is not being allowed the open and honest discourse and format to
be discussed and debated among the American Irish because the
continuing denial of visas to Republican Sinn Fein
spokespersons who can elucidate and promote Eire Nua as an
alternative plan.
Special interests are at work against those who seek to change the status
quo, but that will not stop real Republicans from continuing the
struggle for national sovereignty.
I call upon the U.S. to stop the use of visa denials to discriminate
against Republican Sinn Fein! And any other political party in
Ireland, including the Provos.

A BOURTON farm has celebrated 6,000 years of wildlife, people, food and farming with the launch of a new and innovative robotic milker.
Greystones Farm Nature Reserve in Bourton-on-the-Water has revealed a new freedom milking system, in conjunction with plans to improve the site.
The farm hosted a special launch event with tours, specially-made canapes, archaeological finds and wildlife encounters to celebrate the new innovation.
Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust partnered up with organic farmer and Cotswold cheese-maker Simon Weaver to spruce up the farm.
Around 60 cows will now be based at the site and will be milked by the newly installed robotic milker.
The completion of this 21st century milking parlour complete with its robotic milker is the first step in plans by the Wildlife Trust to improve the site for people and wildlife, developing unused farm buildings into a discovery centre for schools, visitors and residents.
The Heritage Lottery Fund, which also supported the purchase of the site, have confirmed a further grant of more than £100,000 to help develop ideas for the new discovery centre.
The new plans were launched at an event last Wednesday and visitors has the opportunity to look around the new freedom milking system and watch the robot in action.
Experts from Cotswold Archaeology also came along, bringing with them artefacts from a recent dig at the farm while a member of Cotswold Falconry attended with a barn owl for visitors to meet.
Canapes were also provided by Lower Slaughter Manor, made with Greystones single Gloucester cheese.
CEO of the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust Roger Mortlock said: "Greystones Farm has a good claim to be the birthplace of the Cotswolds. It has been an important meeting place, a farm and wildlife haven since Neolithic times.
"The arrival of the robotic milking system launches a new chapter for the farm; one where we plan to tell the rich history of the place and involve many more people in its future."
The development of the nature reserve at Greystones Farm has been supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, the Gloucestershire Environmental Trust and with the ongoing support of Grundon Waste Management, the local community and the Trust's members.

For Andrew Curtis, LEED AP, and Sophie Robitaille, RLA, ASLA, a Philadelphia renovation was the ultimate test of their relationship. The husband-and-wife team weren't married at the time, and this was their first collaborative project for a client. They had remodeled their own home, working as Robitaille+Curtis Architecture+Landscape, but "having a client is an entirely different thing from doing your own house," Curtis says. The couple also had to balance the project's demands with the pressures of their day jobs: Curtis is a designer with Atkin Olshin Schade Architects, and Robitaille, a landscape architect, is an associate at OLIN.
Not only did their personal partnership survive and prosper, but the remodel proved successful as well. The client had purchased an overgrown, vacant lot perpendicular to her 19th-century townhouse in the city's Fitler Square area. The resulting, oddly shaped site forms an L, with front and rear entrances on two separate streets. She initially wanted just a kitchen renovation, but after discussing the project with Curtis and Robitaille she realized a larger-scale remodel was needed. "The client made it clear from the start that she really wanted the house to open up to the outdoors," Curtis explains.
He and Robitaille combined their talents to reconfigure and expand the home. They finished the basement and enlarged the first-floor dining room, linking it to a newly added kitchen, powder room, and casual dining area in the corner of the site. The addition's bluestone floors continue out to a rear patio the couple created to enhance the relationship between inside and out. From there, a path of the same stone connects to a new garden shed clad in black-stained cedar. "The shed acts as a threshold and a gateway into the private realm of the garden," Robitaille says. A clear-stained cedar fence and carefully placed trees supply additional privacy from the neighboring buildings, making the rear yard equally suited for solitary gardening or larger-scale entertaining.
At the front of the site, a 1960s renovation had set up a layered entry sequence that Curtis, Robitaille, and the client admired. They kept the basic idea—a gated walkway leading to a pair of Charleston-style side gardens and the home's front door—and enhanced it with new plantings and hardscaping.
By paying as much attention to the exterior experience as the interior one, the pair turned an awkward property into a logical, graceful procession of spaces.
after hours
Although it added extra hours to their workday, designer Andrew Curtis and landscape architect Sophie Robitaille agree that doing the Fitler Square renovation helped them tremendously. "It was a learning experience from all perspectives," Robitaille says. She and Curtis, who met in graduate school at the University of Oregon, welcomed the chance to integrate their individual skills. "We definitely design together," she explains. "It's not like I'm doing the gardening and he does the building."
Luckily, their employers—OLIN (Robitaille) and Atkin Olshin Schade Architects (Curtis)—were supportive. In fact, the client initially contacted the couple at the suggestion of Tony Atkin, FAIA, a founding principal at Atkin Olshin Schade. Curtis and Robitaille are currently working on high-profile institutional projects with their firms. They've also taken on other independent work, such as remodeling the home next door to their own. They did find time toward the end of the Fitler Square project to get married, and have since collaborated on an especially lovely creation: baby daughter Chloé.

February 2014 forecast for Snake
If you stop thinking about a dilemma, will it go away? There are some problems which you cannot do anything about and these can fade with time. There are those problems which you can do something about, yet it is actually wiser to give these issues less attention because you could be inadvertently fuelling the fire when it is about to burn out.
The dilemma you are facing this month does not fall into either of these two categories. It is a problem that you have been trying to hide from, when you know it needs to be dealt with. You assumed that the spot of bother had gone away by itself when you blocked it from your mind. In the meantime, it has been hanging around despite you ignoring it, and it has got worse. Instead of pretending that the issue does not exist, choose to tackle it at the start of Horse year.
When you think about what love means, you could come up with many answers. Do not be tempted to think that love only has one meaning. Love can hold different meanings for different people at different times. Reflect on what love means to you at the moment, and how that might differ to what it meant in the past.
There are certain tasks, which you know you will not enjoy doing, so naturally you will put off doing them for as long as possible. Whilst you might think such avoidant tactics can help you forget about those tasks, they will still need to be tackled. Rather than employ time and energy into avoiding those jobs, why don't you simply get them done and dusted?
If money has not been on your mind, then it is time for you to pay some attention to your financial well-being. It could be that expenditure needs to be trimmed in a few places, or it could be that you need to make sure that you are getting the best rates on what you save. You could find that you can make your bank balance healthier.

I still amuses me anyway. 🙂

Help! Problem with the USB Network hack!

It sounds like, for whatever reason, it is still in ~usbNetwork mode. Have you tried running ;debugOn/~usbNetwork again? If that doesn't work, have you tried restarting the Kindle? Unless you renamed the DISABLED_auto file in the usbnet directory, it should come up normally (i.e., as USB mass storage, not as a network device) after being restarted.
I turned on "~usbNetwork" again and connected it to my computer. The computer detected it as an ethernet device and asked me to insall the software. Obviously, there was no disk with any software to install.
In the developers' corner there is some discussion of special network drivers you need to install (available on the internet) for the usbnetwork interface to work correctly in Windows. This is probably what this message referred to. You'll have to search for the details in the other forum; I don't have a Windows computer so I can't help you there.

Afghan Jew to be buried in Holy Land (JERUSALEM POST) By MATI WAGNER 02/01/05)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1107141483730&p=1078027574097
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
It took more than two weeks and the intervention of the Red Cross, the Foreign Ministry, the US ambassador to Israel, a US Army base commander in Kabul and the Sephardi chief rabbi of Israel, but Yitzhak (Ishaq) Levin, Afghanistan´s second-to-last Jew, will soon be buried in Israel.
Sources said that Levin´s remains would probably arrive here on Tuesday night.
The octogenarian Levin, who was the caretaker of Afghanistan´s only functioning synagogue, died of natural causes some two weeks ago in the Afghan capital.
His wife and five children, who all live in Beersheba, wanted him buried near them. But Afghanistan´s fundamentalist Muslim government placed a gauntlet of obstacles before them.
There were claims that Levin, who has been estranged from his family for 22 years, had converted to Islam, that the body was decomposing too quickly to allow for transfer, and that there was no doctor to sign the release papers. The four-day-long Id al-Adha holiday delayed efforts further.
All along, Levin´s Israeli family members had requested an embargo on media coverage a request respected by The Jerusalem Post for fear that if it became known that Levin was headed for Israel, it would torpedo the effort. Sephardi Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar, who was instrumental in getting Levin´s body out of Afghanistan, told the Post how it happened.
"The head of the Afghan community in Israel, Rabbi Zvi Simantov, appealed to me to help. We began working on two tracks: First, we turned to the Foreign Ministry and asked to use their diplomatic connections.
"Second, we asked the US ambassador to Israel, Dan Kurzer, for his help. The ambassador had a lot of influence via the US Army forces stationed in Kabul. We also contacted the US Marines rabbi in Kabul.
"The Red Cross at first agreed to get involved, then balked. Further pressure from the US Army on the Red Cross forced it to help get the body out of Afghanistan to Tashkent, Uzbekistan."
During the years he lived in Kabul, Levin feuded bitterly with his 45- year-old Jewish neighbor, Zevulun Simantov, now the only known Jew remaining in Afghanistan.
Rabbi Simantov told the Post that over the past few years relations between the two men had improved.
Afghanistan´s Jewish community numbered as many as 40,000 in the late 19th century, after Persian Jews fled forced conversion in neighboring Iran. But by the mid-20th century only about 5,000 remained, and most emigrated after the State of Israel was created in 1948.
According to Zevulun Simantov, the last eight or nine families left following the 1979 Soviet invasion. But Levin stayed on as the synagogue´s shamash, or caretaker, even through the repressive rule of the Taliban.
Simantov said he took up residence in the synagogue, built around a concrete courtyard in the center of the city, after returning from Turkmenistan in 1992 to deal in carpets, but quickly fell out with the older man.
Before his death, Levin told reporters he had been jailed and beaten under the Taliban. He denounced Simantov for claiming he had converted to Islam in a bid to take possession of the synagogue.
But Simantov insisted he, too, was jailed and beaten after Levin told the Taliban he was an Israeli spy.
He also blamed Levin for the loss of the synagogue´s most sacred treasure, a Torah confiscated by the Taliban. Simantov said Levin wanted to sell the scroll, and provoked the Taliban into taking it by telling Muslim women their fortunes.
Police have said the scroll was in the hands of a former Taliban minister now believed to be incarcerated in the American military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Simantov said Tuesday that he had asked the US Embassy in Kabul to help recover it.
But the heart of the argument appears to have been control of the synagogue, which includes the two men´s quarters, as well as a bare prayer room where the prized Torah was kept.
Simantov showed the Associated Press what he said was a letter from Afghan Jews living in Israel ordering Levin to give up his custodianship of the premises. He said he felt no sadness at the passing of his sparring partner.
"He was a very bad man who tried to get me killed," he said, grinning as he warmed his feet on a diesel-burning stove in his run-down living room. "Now I am the Jew here. I am the boss." AP contributed to this report. (© 1995-2005, The Jerusalem Post 02/01/05)

Jerusalem (Dec. 26)
Eluding British naval craft, shore patrols and radar stations, the 200-ton motor ship Chana Szenes slipped into Palestinian waters sometime last night and disembarked 300 Jewish immigrants without immigration certificates.
The landing was disclosed this morning when the vessel, named after a Palestinian Jewish girl parachutist who was executed by the Germans in Hungary while on a mission for the British, was found abandoned within 300 yards of an encampment of the Arab Transjordan Frontier Force.
Flying from the ship was a blue-and-white banner on which was the following inscription in Hebrew: "This ship has unloaded immigrants. She is named for the heroine Chana Szenes. This ship will remain as a gravestone on the shores of Palestine for the 6,000,000 of our brothers and sisters who perished in Europe. Shame to the British Government."
Later today the Haganah, the Jewish self-defense organization, distributed leaflets in Jerusalem announcing the landing of the immigrants.

At 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, a 7,000-pound truck bomb, constructed of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and nitromethane racing fuel and packed into 13 plastic barrels, ripped through the heart of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The explosion wrecked much of downtown Oklahoma City and killed 168 people, including 19 children in a day-care center. Another 500 were injured. Although many Americans initially suspected an attack by Middle Eastern radicals, it quickly became clear that the mass murder had actually been carried out by domestic, right-wing terrorists.
The slaughter engineered by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, men steeped in the conspiracy theories and white-hot fury of the American radical right, marked the opening shot in a new kind of domestic political extremism — a revolutionary ideology whose practitioners do not hesitate to carry out attacks directed at entirely innocent victims, people selected essentially at random to make a political point. After Oklahoma, it was no longer sufficient for many American right-wing terrorists to strike at a target of political significance — instead, they reached for higher and higher body counts, reasoning that they had to eclipse McVeigh's attack to win attention.
What follows is a detailed listing of major terrorist plots and racist rampages that have emerged from the American radical right in the years since Oklahoma City. These have included plans to bomb government buildings, banks, refineries, utilities, clinics, synagogues, mosques, memorials and bridges; to assassinate police officers, judges, politicians, civil rights figures and others; to rob banks, armored cars and other criminals; and to amass illegal machine guns, missiles, explosives and biological and chemical weapons. Each of these plots aimed to make changes in America through the use of political violence. Most contemplated the deaths of large numbers of people — in one case, as many as 30,000, or 10 times the number murdered on Sept. 11, 2001.
Here are the stories of plots, conspiracies and racist rampages since 1995 — plots and violence waged against a democratic America

Beauty Test Drive: Boscia Luminizing Black Mask
It's Boscia, not blackface. Boscia's done some amazing marketing because the instant I saw this on the shelf at Sephora, I had to have it. A peel-off mask that's as thick as tar? I imagined it pulling off my entire face to reveal what I always knew was lying below: Scarlett Johansson. Sadly, that did not happen. But, I was pretty happy with the results. Boscia's mask promises to boost "…skin clarity and radiance. Removes dirt and impurities while refining the look of pores." This is a mineral-rich mask made of premium clay that will strip away excess oil and naturally exfoliate.
To get the best results, you've got to leave this on for the full 20 minutes the bottle advises, and sometimes even longer. If the goop is not fully dry, it won't come off the right way. But when it does, it definitely pulls off some residue that's reminiscent of what you get with Biore strips. Skin will definitely feel tighter, and the pores around my nose and cheeks did look smaller. That said, there are a few caveats. Don't use this product if you have any type of zit you've picked and is healing. I did this and it ripped off some dead skin that exposed the wound again. Also, avoid eyebrows and hairline. This stuff is a biotch to get out of hair. But otherwise, I'm a fan of this product. It might not be the number-one effective treatment out there (uh, if you've found it, call us now), but the fun factor gets extra points. [$34, Sephora]

What was it?
A sketch comedy produced by Channel Seven, which aired in 1994 and 1995. It starred Jane Turner, Magda Szubanski and Gina Riley and came from the creative wellspring formed when the ABC's D-Generation migrated to commercial TV in the late '80s. Szubanski and Turner had been featured on The D-Generation and were joined by Riley in Seven's sketch-comedy flagship Fast Forward. But Big Girl's Blouse foundered in the ratings and only one series was produced.
Why is it worth remembering?
Apart from the pedigree of its cast - Turner, Szubanski and Riley are among the most successful names in Australian comedy - the series was the birthplace of Kath Day-Knight, Kim Craig and Sharon Strzelecki of the sitcom Kath & Kim. The trio first featured in a recurring sketch in this series, ''Kim's Wedding'', and later in the Something Stupid recurring sketch ''Kim's Baby''. The two shows also launched the characters Prue and Trude. Blouse also had brilliant political satire, such as ''Midweek Ladies'', which retold the 1991 Bob Hawke-Paul Keating leadership challenge as a battle to control a women's tennis club.
Can I still see it?
The entire series was released on DVD, though it might be hard to find. Some online retailers, such as ezydvd.com.au, still have it in stock. (It is listed for $29.97 and ships in seven to 10 days.) Some of the sketches can be seen on YouTube, such as ''Midweek Ladies'' (bit.ly/pHt07) and ''Kim's Baby'' (bit.ly/zLNAoX) from Something Stupid.

After the prolonged ovations that had greeted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall earlier in the week, the musicians might have worried that their return to Symphony Center would signal a lesser audience response. Not to worry. The close of their subscription program on Friday brought a storm of applause almost as loud as the mighty organ chords of the Saint-Saens Third Symphony that had inspired it.
James Paul was on the podium, taking charge of business with a sure hand in his first local appearance since being named principal guest conductor of the Grant Park Music Festival, a post he will take up this summer. If his program rose to glory with the Saint-Saens "Organ" Symphony, it got its glow from the 1976-77 Violin Concerto of Einojuhani Rautavaara, which was having its first CSO performance.

Members of the Church of England's General Synod have gathered in York for what is being thought of as one its most important meetings in recent times.
The event has been attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu.
Yesterday, members and officers of the General Synod of the Church of England gathered for the Eucharist at York Minster.
The long-running battles over the ordination of women bishops is expected to reach its conclusion today in a final vote on the issue at the University of York which will determine the future direction of the Church.
It comes less than two years after the collapse of previous legislation to open the episcopate to women, despite overwhelming support in the Church as a whole.

College lecturers vote to strike
College students in England and Wales will have their teaching disrupted because of a one-day pay strike by lecturers.
The action - on 22 May - will involve some 30,000 members of the lecturers' union Natfhe in 280 colleges.
They are demanding a Ł3,000 pay rise.
In a ballot, the strike was backed by 65% of those who voted. The turnout was 50%.
Natfhe says "other disruptive action" - voted for by 86% - will follow.
Its general secretary, Paul Mackney, said: "This vote reflects the fact that lecturers are completely fed up with watching their school teacher colleagues' pay leap forward, while theirs falls miserably behind.
"Lecturers have said 'enough is enough' with this vote. They are taking a stand for a little more respect."
The union is to meet the employers on 15 May to discuss the pay claim.
The employers, represented by the Association of Colleges, said those going on strike were "a small minority of lecturers".
Their "irresponsible" action would damage colleges' and students' interests, a spokeswoman said.
The association says Natfhe's claim is outside the normal annual round of pay negotiations with the various unions, which usually results in a pay rise in the region of 3%.
Further education pay is negotiated nationally but paid at a college level. Unions complain that some colleges do not pay the agreed rise - although some have paid more.
For the first time this year the government has provided money which will see most lecturers in England getting a rise of about Ł2,000 over the next two years, the association has said.

Hello all!
I have been a long time lurker of this forum, and figured it was about time I made an account. Hoping to give back to the community, and keep expanding my knowledge.
I'm French, living in Paris, I run on MAC OS X 10.6.6 and emulate BackTrack via Virtual Box. I actually know the UNIX commands and I'm a developer in many languages but I do not practice a lot 'cause I'm actually focus on all the backtrack stuff
I hope I'll learn a lot here and can help people with the understanding of somme hacking tools
Hello all!
I have been a long time lurker of this forum, and figured it was about time I made an account. Hoping to give back to the community, and keep expanding my knowledge.
Hey, hope to learn quite a bit.
Just want to say thank you allowing me to join in this network...
Hello guys,
I'm new in using backtrack. however, not in linux. I hope I can learn new things around here.
Hello all,
I'm Angelo form Italy, I'm a IT freelance since many years but almost a newbie in the X world, as I want (I'd say I need) to improve my knowledge about pentesting I hope to learn the most as I can from your experience.
Glad to be part of this Community
I should have posted here first but, all well. I'm Greg and I'm just starting to check out BackTrack. I was looking for a good Linux to run off my flash drive in order to run just a few programs that can't run from within Windows (I have a Ubuntu VM that runs pretty well from within Windows but, trying to do the opposite is a nightmare). BackTrack happens to include most of the programs I want to run and it's fairly small to boot. It even has some programs I've thought about trying out but haven't because there's just such a large number of programs that do similar task I'm never sure which ones to try (in other words I don't mind being a slave to some built in programs when I don't have an opinion already formed as to what's best).
Obviously enough since I've just started to check out BackTrack and I'm posting here I'm new to these forums. I'm not however unfamiliar with some other Linux Forums (I've recently joined the main one and I've been part of Ubuntu Forums for quite a while now).
Just wanted to say hello and thank everyone for sharing their knowledge. I am a student making my way into the IT field. The knowledge I am picking up here is complementing my education very nicely. Once again, thank you and I already know...RTFM!
Hello everyone I'm still new here myself. I'm interested in studying pen testing as a hobby in order to better understand security so I can better my own network. Even though I'm new here I'd still like to give back to the community by tackling any questions that are on my level, so I'll be more than happy to help out any other beginners with whatever knowledge and information I can!

Shape of things to come: 2009 a new age
The build up to the 2009 Ashes starts now. No really, it does.
With the current series over as a contest, thoughts will now turn to the next scheduled meeting in two and a half years.
And with much of the debate prior to this series surrounding the age of the host nation's players, the build up to the next meeting will be dominated by Australians who may keep going, and the new faces that replace the old.
Inevitably, as he has for most of his career, Shane Warne and his intentions will be central to Australia's planning.
As pointed out to the champion leg spinner by Richie Benaud at the end of last year, Warne will 'only' be 39 at the start of the '09 series, turning 40 during its duration.
God knows how many more Test wickets he will have by then - or how many more tabloid headlines he would have inspired - but the fact Warne could even be considered as a possible starter is testimony to his enduring genius.
If Warne is still playing, the likelihood Adam Gilchrist will still be reading his turn is another bone of contention, despite the wicketkeeper having played 88 consecutive Tests since his his debut in 1999.
Gilchrist will be 37 when the series begins, and with the rigours of one-day cricket also on his plate for the foreseeable future, whether the body will endure three more years is debatable.
With Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden and Glenn McGrath all likely retirees in the interim, Australia will face its biggest selection dilemma since the en-masse departures of Dennis Lillee, Greg Chappell and Rod Marsh in 1984.
Phil Jaques and Chris Rogers are in the Test frame as openers already, while Stuart Clark is already being compared to McGrath, and Mitchell Johnson should start the next series after getting a taste of the hype of this one.
Who will coach the side is also another mystery, with John Buchanan moving aside after next year's World Cup.
Tom Moody, current coach of Sri Lanka, and Chappell, the man who pipped Moody for the Indian job, could be in the chair.
As for England, the side that that lost the urn in Perth could, to a man, get the chance to win them back at home.
The side which starts the last Test in Sydney on January 2 could conceivably start the first Test next time around, with the possible exceptions of injured skipper Michael Vaughan and bowler Simon Jones.
Two of the most important elements of the 2005 victory could be key facets of the bid to repeat it, if they can both get fit.
After being told his career was in dire jeopardy after a second knee operation earlier this year, Vaughan is battling back to somewhere near fitness in an effort to feature in the upcoming triangular one-day series.
And Jones will be desperate to play, if for no other reason than Wales will host a Test match, for the first time during the series.
The support a Welsh player would engender in the Sophia Gardens stands could surprise even the hardiest Australian campaigner.
The one main change in the England camp between then and now could be at the top, with taciturn coach Duncan Fletcher lined up with the brickbats even before this series was lost.
Whether the dour Zimbabwean will be backed to continue - or can even handle the barbs from the British press for another three years - remains to be seen.

Washington (AFP) July 07, 2014
A Russian national accused of hacking into US retail computer systems was arrested and ordered to face criminal charges, officials said Monday.
The Justice Department said an indictment was unsealed following the arrest of Roman Valerevich Seleznev, 30, of Moscow, who uses the moniker "Track2" in the hacker underground.
Officials said Seleznev was formally charged in March 2011 but the charges were only made public after his arrest on Saturday.
The statement provided few details but said Seleznev "was arrested this weekend and transported to Guam for an initial appearance" in court on charges of distribution of stolen credit card information.
When asked by AFP, a Justice Department spokesman declined to elaborate on the circumstances of Seleznev's arrest.
At his court appearance in Guam, Seleznev was ordered detained pending a further hearing scheduled for July 22.
Seleznev is charged with hacking into retail computer systems and installing malicious software to steal credit card numbers in a scheme that operated between October 2009 and February 2011.
He is accused of creating and operating an underground network to facilitate the theft and sales of credit card data.
The charges in the indictment include five counts of bank fraud, eight counts of intentionally causing damage to a protected computer and related offenses including identity theft.
"Cyber crooks should take heed: you cannot hide behind distant keyboards," said US Attorney Jenny Durkan of the northwest state of Washington, where Seleznev will be tried.
If convicted, the Russian could face up to 30 years in prison on bank fraud charges and additional jail time for the other charges, as well as hefty fines. He faces a separate criminal indictment in Nevada on racketeering charges.
In the 2011 indictment, the scheme involved inserting malicious software into the "point of sale" computer systems at Seattle-area restaurants and hundreds of other small retailers across the United States.
Seleznev and his partners stole over 200,000 credit card numbers and sold more than 140,000 in underground forums -- many at $20 to $30 each.
The bank losses from the scheme were over $1.1 million, the indictment said.
