Dohuk, 17 November 2017 – Fr Tony O'Riodan SJ, a Jesuit of the Irish province, was impacted by many things about his experience working with the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) in Iraqi Kurdistan. As he came to know people whose communities and lives had been broken by violence, one of these impacts was the lasting and continual effect of war on the human life and spirit.
After finishing his Tertianship this past August, Fr Tony traveled and worked with JRS in Erbil and Dohuk, two cities in Iraqi Kurdistan. In this area of the country, the people JRS accompanies are largely displaced Yazidis, Christians, and Muslims from Mosul, Sinjar, and the neighboring Ninevah valley. The plight of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Dohuk and Erbil has especially toughened in the last 12 months since the violence in Mosul has intensified.
In Dohuk, where Tony spent most of his time, IDPs live in a series of spread out villages, or in and around Sharya. When assaults by ISIS and the Yazidi genocide began in 2014, some Yazidis were settled in a specially constructed camp; others found accommodation in unfinished buildings and abandoned villages. These villages and housing complexes remain dispersed, remote and very isolated, which is why among other programs, JRS's community centres and family visit program are essential.
On his first day out with Salwa, a member of the JRS family visits team in Dohuk, a young man approached them and requested a visit to his father who was struggling with health issues. At the young man's home later that day, and after a few cups of tea with the family, the JRS family visit team established the needs of the older man, other issues to address also emerged at the meeting.
The discovery of other concerns besides the initial request is an important part of the work of the family visit teams. Often, these visits by JRS staff will reveal needs for lifeskills training, and many IDPs are from there referred to JRS community centres where they can learn to sew and take hairdressing classes – many have gone on to begin their own enterprises. The community centres not only offer technical skills training but also provide people the ability to connect with each other and build communities. In many ways, participating in the courses offered at the centres is a healing experience in which displaced persons can begin to come to terms with the trauma and isolation of having had to flee.
Salwa and Hogir, two members of the Sharya family visits team who are both in their twenties, were born and raised in Sharya. Their ability to connect with their immediate community members through visiting their homes is exceptional explains Fr Tony, adding that, "JRS is lucky to have found them and they are lucky to have found JRS as a way of giving expression to this desire to respond to the needs of their own country people."
The fact that so many of the people working for JRS Iraq are Iraqi and displaced themselves is what makes JRS Iraq's programmes so powerful. It is communities rebuilding themselves, families supporting their own families, and it is JRS that tends to this growth.
"It starts with nursing individuals through family visits, through the courses, through contact; then families are nursed back to health and communities are nursed back to health," says Tony about the process of rebuilding; and so, as impactful as the horror of war in Iraqi Kurdistan, is the presence of hope in the face of such destruction.
This realisation of hope rang especially true one night for Fr Tony as he shared in mass and a picnic with 40 young displaced people from Qaraqosh, a town just north of Mosul whose entire Christian population was forcibly displaced within 24 hours. After the sun set and everyone loaded in a bus bound for Erbil, he watched the young people dance and sing.
Their infectious sense of joy, and love of life and togetherness was undeniable. The clouds of war and violence had dissipated into hope for the future. This, he thought to himself, is the human spirit in action.

By Colleen Thomas, Daily Sports Editor
Published April 5, 2013
ATLANTA — First the caged Jayhawk, then Pringles, and now orange juice?
Michigan assistant coach Bacari Alexander has been the main source of pre-game motivation in the Wolverines' NCAA Tournament run with his humorous pep talks before each game.
Alexander told the players to put the Jayhawks in a cage before they took on Kansas in the Sweet Sixteen, and he wanted them to play with a chip on their shoulders — via placing a Pringle on the shoulder of each player's jersey — before Michigan played Florida. He even called the team "nutcrackers" in his Feb. 5 pregame speech before the Wolverines played Ohio State.
Though his strategy may seem a bit quirky, there's legitimate explanation behind his method.
"You're dealing with 17-to-23 year olds at the collegiate level and you get into the NCAA Tournament and you start advancing and the stakes start to raise and the media attention starts to intensify, you have to find something to ease the mood," Alexander said. "One of the approaches we take is allowing the assistant coaches to address the team in any way that they see fit.
"One of the things I try to emphasize when talking to the kids is giving them something that's not only humorous to get them to relax, but informative with regards to what we're trying to accomplish in that particular game."
Alexander isn't the only one motivating the team — Michigan players are becoming motivational tools themselves.
With all the hype surrounding Burke winning the John R. Wooden Player of the Year award, the Oscar Robertson Player of the Year award and the Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year award, the sophomore has been very level-headed, and is trying to use his calmness as an example for younger players on the team.
Burke says he tries to model his game off of NBA guards like Tony Parker, Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo because those players are true leaders on the court and demand respect from their teammates. Michigan coach John Beilein has even considered Burke as an extension of himself on the court.
"It's been that way for most of his career here," Beilein said. "I think in the first couple months, he was reading me. He was putting deposits in my trust bank more and more every time—that's really important. The more deposits he made, the more I knew I could trust him.
"So there's been this mutual respect for each other, and I mean it."
And in turn, the freshmen are helping the few veterans on the team keep the game in perspective.
"The freshmen are really doing a good job making it easier for us veterans out there," Hardaway said. "They're playing like they've been on this stage before and they're growing up in front of our eyes … They're not freshmen no more, they know what it takes to win, and they're doing a great job of going out there and having fun."
While the Wolverines are keeping themselves humbled and hungry, Alexander has to think of a motivational tool for when Michigan faces Syracuse in one of Saturday's national semifinal games.
The choice seems obvious to him — orange juice.
"You know that did happen two years ago when we played Syracuse, (a 53-50 loss), out in Atlantic City, and Evan Smotrycz, who was on our roster at the time, was quite upset that I soiled his jersey," Alexander said. "I hope Evan forgives me. Evan, if you're out there watching, I'm sorry."

Those of you who follow me on instagram under @athinavalyraki, have already seen these beauties come through the door, as I couldn't help giving you a sneak peek a few weeks ago when I received them! I actually had a lot of trouble choosing from the huge selection of styles on the site (you can check them out here), but finally settled for grey with a mostly red pattern which I thought brought about enough of the tribal look I was going for. What do you think?
Thanks for reading!

Chelsea chief Ron Gourlay admits the club cannot stay at Stamford Bridge in it's current form.
Gourlay insisted that it was imperative a solution was found, claiming the club has "outgrown" Stamford Bridge.
"We have one of smallest stadiums in Europe," Gourlay told the International Football Arena in Zurich.
"We have corporate hospitality that is second to none and 30,000 season ticket holders. But we have a stadium slightly larger than 40,000 which drops to 38,000 on Champions League nights.
"We have to find a solution."
He added: "We have outgrown our stadium and tried every way possible to extend capacity.
"We need a 60-65,000 stadium. We have the eighth biggest stadium in England and the 61st biggest in Europe.
"But when you look at the activity of stadiums planned for next few years, we will fall out of top 75 which can only be restrictive to the football club.
"In the meantime we continue on our conversations to see if there is any way at all to extend Stamford Bridge."

Feature Request
So I ordered the Super Suit Suite.
And I go to available downloads...
And there are 17+ pages of files.
First, there's just the experience of downloading 17 pages of files from any site.
Then, there's the experience of running each individual installer and clicking 8 to 12 times to install the content, or going to a command prompt and adding some switches on the recent installers, and letting it grind with no feedback.
Then after all that, there's the joy of getting Daz to not add the directory a thousand times as duplicates.
So ponder me this...
Why not deliver all the content as zip files (for PC and MacOS), and then put an option on the file menu in Daz to "install content." That option would then allow you to bulk highlight the zip files, which would then be installed?
If you're going to send me 170 files, as part of a bundle, could you please do so as one installer so that I'm not spending the rest of my life clicking next?
Fixmypcmike Posts: 17,301
They're doing almost exactly that, except the optional Install Manager is a stand-alone program, not built into DS. You can let the Install Manager see what needs to be downloaded (if any products get updated), download them, and install them automatically, or you can download the zip files and tell the Install Manager what you want installed, or you can not use the Install Manager and install the zips yourself.

Andrei A. Gromyko, the Soviet foreign minister, gave a fighting speech at the UN General Assembly Sept. 22, special correspondent Louis Wiznitzer reports. Undeterred by the unexpectedly muted tones of Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. the day before, Mr. Gromyko lashed out at what he called the Reagan administration's "aggressive policies," while stressing his own country's commitment to peace.
One senior European diplomat said Gromyko did not want to "let Mr. Haig get away with seeming reasonable to his European allies and wanted to keep focusing on the belligerant character of the Reagan administration."
As proof of the "bellicose mood" of the United States, Gromyko cited:
* The "massacre perpetrated in San Salvador," implying US involvement.
* The "armed provocation" against Libya.
* The unrestrained "arms race worshiped by the ruling quarters of some NATO countries."
He called for the resumption of SALT talks but was careful to relate discussions on medium-range nuclear weapons in Europe with US forward-based nuclear systems. He again mentioned Soviet willingness to agree to a mutual reduction of medium-range weapons in Europe, but did not advance any complete proposals on the subject.
He hinted at the possibility of an agreement on Afghanistan: "A political settlement must ensure the termination of armed and other interference in the affairs of Afghanistan."
Diplomats here think the statement is too vague in its present form to indicate whether it expresses a desire by the USSR to extricate itself from Afghanistan or is just a propaganda ploy.

Peter Greenaway: 'It's not enough just to shock'
Sex, art and death have been the mainstay of British director Peter Greenaway's films, depicted in painterly detail in works such as The Draughtsman's Contract and The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
His latest film, Golztius and the Pelican Company, explores the idea of sex eroticism and religious hypocrisy through the prism of six bible stories involving taboos such as incest and paedophilia.
The hero narrator is 16th century Dutch engraver Hendrik Goltzius, who stages the stories in order to get a possible patron to pay for a revolutionary new printing press.
Newsnight's Kirsty Wark met Greenaway at London's National Gallery, where the film is being screened, in front of a painting by Goltzius himself.

* Chapter 15: The Battle of the Bands *
The weeks after the shopping trip were at the same time hectic,
yet not really. Both Cyril and Indalecio practiced extremely
hard with their respective bands for the upcoming battle of
the bands. Claude and Company, meanwhile, spent their time searching
for possible hideouts of Orin, and also waited for their weapons
to be completed. Time passed, and eventually the highly publicized
battle of the bands drew near. Both groups felt that they were
at their best (which, admittedly, wasn't all that terribly good,
but what do you expect from amateurs).
The Wise Men traveled to Central City to get ready for the
concert and make any last adjustments. Before long, the big
event began: The fourth Annual Energy Nede Battle of the Bands,
sponsored by various radio stations and musical equipment outfitters
around the planet.
"All right," Indalecio said, backstage, to the other
members of the group, who called themselves Clingshrimp. "We're
fifth on the list. First, it's Guttersnipe, then Ketta, then
Cyril's group, then Sledgehammer Conspiracy, then us, and finally
The Co-Egg."
"I think that's The C.O.E.G," Berle commented.
"Yes, whatever," Indalecio said. Suddenly, there
was a commotion on the main stage. The emcee for the event,
a greasy-haired, middle-aged man obviously living vicariously
through the youths in the crowd, walked up to the microphone,
signaling the start of the event.
"How're you all doing?" he shouted into the microphone.
The crowd roared at this statement. "This is Tank Sherman
from KROX 93.3 FM, and I welcome you to this year's Battle of
the Bands!" The crowd only got louder.
"We've got a bunch of acts this year," Tank shouted,
"so let's get right into it with our first band, Guttersnipe!"
Onstage walked four long-haired young men, instruments and/or
drumsticks in hand.
"Are you ready to rock?" the lead singer/guitarist
shouted into the microphone. The crowd roared in approval. "I
can't hear you!" he shouted, inciting an even louder cheer
from the crowd. "All right! Let's go," he said. "One,
two, three, four!"
Somehow along the way, however, there had been a bit of a miscommunication,
as the two guitarists and the bassist appeared to be playing
three different songs, all at different tempos. The drummer
failed to play completely. The crowd quickly reacted with a
multitude of boos and some thrown debris. Guttersnipe immediately
left the stage out of embarrassment.
"Well, that was quick!" Tank said, stepping up to
the microphone. "Now, for our next act, the all-girl group,
The four young women of Ketta quickly scrambled onstage, still
not completely ready for their sudden appearance. After a short
introduction from the lead singer, they started into their first
song. The crowd burst into cheer because, apparently, all the
members of this band were operating on the same wavelength.
Midway through the second song, however, the group met with
disaster. While playing a guitar solo and walking around onstage,
the lead guitarist tripped over the cord connecting her guitar
to the amplifier. She almost knocked into the lead singer, who
stepped back just in time to miss the falling girl. In doing
so, though, she accidentally ran into the bassist, who was busy
concentrating on the notes she had to play. Both of them went
sprawling to the ground in a daze. The drummer, completely oblivious
to what was happening around her, continued playing.
"Clean up on main stage," Tank said into the microphone,
as Ketta scrambled offstage even more quickly than they scrambled
onstage. "Next, we have a hot new up-and-coming band. You
might have heard of them before. I know I have. Let's give it
up for Lantis!"
The four Wise Men that formed the group walked onstage and
set their instruments up. "Why bother with introductions?"
Cyril said into the microphone, seemingly a clue for the band
to start up their first song. Their three-song set went off
without a hitch, much to the dismay of Clingshrimp, especially
"Wow," Tank said as the band walked offstage to a
crowd rowdy with cheer. "Nothing went wrong, can you believe
it? Now, for the musical styling of Sledgehammer Conspiracy!"
The three young men of the band got onstage and played three
songs that were full of angst. What they were angry about, exactly,
was lost, as the lyrics were rather fast and somewhat slurred.
But the songs were definitely full of angst.
"Now, for a short intermission," Tank said into the
microphone, after Sledgehammer Conspiracy ended their set. "Afterwards,
we'll have our remaining two bands and the final results!"
Down in the crowd, there was a bit of a commotion.
"Can you see him?" Claude said, hoisting Rena onto
his shoulders.
"Mmmm...nope, I can't..." Rena said. "The crowd's
too thick..."
"I wonder if Noel and Chisato are having any better luck,"
Claude said, as he lowered Rena to ground level.
"Where are they?" Rena asked.
"No clue," Claude said. Before Rena could reply,
Tank walked onstage again.
"Hey!" he shouted into the microphone. "We're
back with more music for you! And now, please give it up for
The other six Wise Men gathered onstage and set up their respective
instruments. Nicolus and Jibril both plugged in their guitars,
Marsilio plugged his bass guitar into the amp, Berle took a
seat behind the drum set, and Shigeo took his place behind a
rather expensive-looking keyboard system. With a slight nod
from Indalecio, they started the first song of their three song
set, playing as well as their few scant weeks of practice allowed
them to. A burst of applause erupted from the crowd, about the
same level as the applause they gave Lantis. The six removed
themselves from the stage as Tank began the introduction for
the final band.
"Looks like we're about even," Cyril said, meeting
Indalecio backstage.
"We'll see," Indalecio said. "Should we see
how the last band performs?"
"Sounds good..." Cyril said.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, and all the rest of you
out there," Tank said. "Our final act. Straight from
a place nobody is quite sure of...give it up for The Co-Egg!"
The lead singer, a spectacled boy with frizzy brownish-blonde
hair who bore more than a passing resemblance to Rowan Atkinson,
whispered something in Tank's ear. "Oops," Tank said.
"The C.O.E.G!"
"Thank you," the boy (whom the rest of the band called
"T") said with a slightly nasal tone in his voice.
The other three members of the band, three young men and one
young woman, quickly set up their instruments, as T prepared
his bass guitar. "One, two, three, four!" he shouted
as the band started into a driving song so loud, fast, and bass-heavy
it was almost absurd. After a short intro, the lead singer half-sung,
half-growled lyrics that made little to no sense. The crowd,
almost hypnotized by the music coming from the stage, began
to jump up and down, inciting mosh pits in some areas of the
"We're..." Cyril said, amazedly.
"...Screwed" Indalecio finished.
The C.O.E.G. finished their first song and immediately began
another song that was just as fast, twice as loud, and and five
times as crazy. During the bridge for the song, T leapt into
the crowd and began crowd surfing. The crowd continued in their
frenzy. After the second song finished, they started their third,
which was a lot like the previous two. As a final note to that
song, the female guitarist (A.K.A. "Sixy") snuck up
behind T, and cold-cocked him with her guitar. The drummer ("Tigger")
then threw the hi-hat cymbal at the male guitarist ("Pchan").
The keyboard player ("Iggy") simply threw random punches,
which connected a surprising amount of times. These acts basically
incited a riot onstage, which was best described as a fistfight
with instruments. By the time the onstage fight died down, it
resulted in a total of seven lost teeth, two black eyes, a broken
nose, some bruised ribs, and a mess of broken instruments.
"Don't worry," Pchan said into the microphone. "It
was all a part of the act."
"No it wasn't," Sixy said into a second microphone.
"Whatever it was," T said, "it was fun. Can
we do it again?"
"My pleasure," Tigger said, shortly before slamming
a snare drum down over T's head, which burst through the membranes
of the drum. Iggy then hit Tigger over the head with a synthesizer
"Ummm..." Tank said, rushing to the stage to prevent
another set of musi-cuffs. "And now, the judging,"
he said. "Can I get all the bands onstage for the final
results?" All six bands walked onstage and grouped up.
"We'll go to the judging panel...you, the crowd! The final
winner will be determined by your applause!"
"First, let's hear it for Guttersnipe!" Tank said,
walking to the first group. One lone person clapped, from the
very back of the room.
"And now, Ketta!" Tank shouted. A mild applause came
from the crowd.
"Lantis!" A rather hearty applause came, nothing
earth shattering, but still rather enthusiastic.
"Sledgehammer Conspiracy!" Another healthy applause,
slightly less than that received by Lantis.
"Clingshrimp!" An applause about at the same level
as the previous two.
"Finally, The Co...I mean The C.O.E.G!" A thunderous
applause rocked the arena, threatening to bring the weakest
of the rafters down. Several pieces of women's clothing (a fair
portion of it unmentionable) flew onto the stage.
"I think we have a winner!" Tank shouted. "Let's
give it up for The C.O.E.G!" Another ear-splitting round
of applause rose from the crowd. The five members hoisted the
gigantic novelty check, which signified their victory and cash
earnings, high above their heads.
"What's the exchange rate from Fol to dollars?" T
asked, still wearing the snare drum "necklace."
"Didn't that lead singer kinda look familiar?" Cyril
said as the non-victorious bands filed off the stage.
"Not really...wait, yeah he did!" Indalecio said,
as a shock of realization went through him. "Rig!"
he shouted at the top of his lungs. "This whole thing was
"So...I guess this is the end of our band..." Cyril
"Why?" Indalecio asked him.
"Well...my band lost, right?" Cyril said.
"My band didn't win, though," Indalecio said.
"Wait...you sound like you actually enjoyed this..."
"See? It's kinda infectious. Hell of a lot of funtoo."
"I'm just kinda sad that it's over now...quite the experience..."
Cyril thought for a moment. "You guys could...well..."
"Yeah?" Indalecio said.
"Our bands could always merge..." Cyril said.
"Huh? A ten member band?" Indalecio asked in disbelief.
"How would that work?"
"It might take some instrument relocation," Cyril
said, "but I'm sure we could make it work. Besides, Slipknot
was a pretty popular band, and they had nine members..."
"And that," a voice over said, "Was the beginning
of the Ten Wise Men, one of the most influential bands to ever
grace the galaxy. On an interesting note, The C.O.E.G, the winners
of that contest, had a mildly successful debut album. They broke
up shortly before the follow-up album was to be released, however,
after T nearly drowned while thinking he was a fish, Iggy shot
a man for making fun of his fiancée, and Sixy gave Pchan
a minor concussion for, as she said, 'no real reason at all.'
Tigger just plain disappeared for a long stretch of time, and
eventually came back and wondered where his band mates were.
"Next time on VH1's Behind the Music, we take a look at
the life (and, for a short bit, death) of musical legend Hotblack
Desatio. Until then..."

A pickup in hiring heading into the summer months could bode well for job creation in the second half of 2012, according to a recent survey by CareerBuilder.com.
The online career site's annual Summer Job Forecast shows that 29 percent of employers plan to hire workers for the summer, an increase over last year's 21 percent.
"This is good news for job seekers, as seasonal work can often lead to full-time opportunities," said Brett Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America, in a statement. "A majority of employers told us they consider a summer position an extended job interview." In addition, the survey revealed that 71 percent of employers said they'll be considering some summer hires for permanent positions.

"Geoff Moore just won the ballgame with a Home Run! With his team, he is unbeatable. Home Run is just waiting for you baseball fans to catch!"
Excellent CD!

"Of the Four Geoff Moore and the Distance CDs I have listened to (Foundations, Threads, Evolution, and this one), Home Run is by far my favorite. It's a great CD. The lyrics do an excellent job of showing Christ's incredible love for us, how he has plans for our lives, and how he supports us as we carry out those plans.The songs on the CD have a variety of musical styles, from the hard-drving rock that the group is best know for to slow, lyrical numbers.Enjoy!"

For those of you that know me, the title of this post is probably quite comical. It is well known that I do NOT belong in the kitchen. I am the girl who burns toast, ruins the slice and bake cookies and has trouble boiling water.
I decided it is about time to gain some confidence in the kitchen. With my girls getting older, I am sure I will be asked to send treats to school for birthdays or holiday parties, so I have to find MY specialty. So, I am starting a series called "Baking with Bridgette" where I will be trying out recipes and learning my way around the kitchen.
I would LOVE to do some giveaways with this new feature! If you have a kitchen product you would like me to showcase, please send an email to notsoblog @ gmail dot com. I would love to try out some new kitchen gadgets as I vlog my experience to share with my readers.
Have an easy recipe you think I should try? Send it in! I am willing to take a look and see if I can attempt it.
This first episode is Cake Balls! I saw this recipe on Bakerella. Have you seen this site?? It is AMAZING! This lady is incredibly talented and every time I look at her blog, I get hungry! If you would like the exact recipe I show in this vlog, click here. With no further ado….Baking With Bridgette: Cupcake Balls. Try not to laugh.

Most people would get under cover or go inside during a lightning storm. Other people, like Dougal Stallman, embrace it.
During the storm near Karoonda, Mr Stallman climbed onto the roof of the combine harvester he was operating and performed a little jig that has now been viewed by nearly 400,000 people on the Bingham Agriculture Facebook video alone.
Mr Stallman was harvesting barley on a property at Karoonda when he got on top of his header to do a rain dance.
The drone footage shows him busting a move while an impressive lightning display in the background from an approaching storm.
"We could see the storm and so I said to Sam Cedwick – who was filming other headers with the drone – that I was going to get on the roof," he said.
"The timing of it was absolutely perfect, we really couldn't have planned for it to go any better."
The video's reach shocked Mr Stallman.
"I never thought it would it would go past a couple of hundred likes and shares, but it's gone nuts – it's amazing," he said. "I've had messages from heaps of mates, but it's the inboxes from strangers all over the country and from around the world that I can't believe."
Mr Stallman said he and Mr Cedwick were hard at work planning another video, but remained tight-lipped about any details.
"The next one definitely involves a lot more planning, so hopefully we can expect it in about the next two months," he said.

Wellhome.com, an all-in-one service provider that improves home efficiency, posted an article on their blog about the positive effect E-books have had on reducing our need for cutting down and processing trees for printed books. We haven't confirmed the accuracy of their data and it seems to travel between books and newspapers a bit but their conclusion is simple – E-books on E-readers is the way to go. Check out a full version of their amazing and kind of roided-out infographic. After much thinking, I calculated my footprint in the whole E-Book vs Printed Book issue and I decided to create an infographic of my own.

I love this one - our cat, Boots, who passed away last month was such a basket case like that too!! You have a basket or small box out you could guarantee he'd be in there.ReplyDelete
Thanks. I'll have to find a bigger basket soon because I don't know if he'll fit in that one much longer. I just pulled out the towel that I leave in there to wash and he's trying to figure out how to get comfy in the other basket I put on the floor. Time to grab towels for both of them. LOL. Oh and he'll curl up in the huge dog beds too but the dogs don't mind.ReplyDelete

The United Nations is exhausted. Conflicts that might once have responded to mediation—as in Namibia in the late 1980s, El Salvador in the early 1990s, and Timor-Leste at the turn of this century—are now marked by nihilistic, sometimes genocidal brutality beyond the effective reach of UN envoys. Budgets for life-saving humanitarian relief—desperately needed in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa, where millions of refugees are on the move—are dwindling to near-bankruptcy. There are more UN peacekeepers on the ground than ever before, with 124,746 military and civilian personnel deployed in 16 operations in West and Central Africa, the Middle East, and Haiti by the summer of 2015. Yet UN troops, now working with modern weapons of war, face greater dangers, both to their own lives and to the people they are sent to protect. More than 1,600 peacekeepers have died in these current missions. Democratic governments are stumbling under the weight of strongmen or dangerous nationalist movements. In an unsettled world, women suffer worsening violence and abuse, while numerous governments still deny basic rights and dignity to LGBT people.
The 70-year-old international organization needs to be rejuvenated. Fortunately, a year of great possibilities lies ahead, if member governments are serious about keeping their promises. Significant changes are on the calendar in 2016: A new secretary general will be elected, a new global-development policy will fall into place, and a climate-change agreement that long eluded member nations will begin to test countries' commitments to averting catastrophic global warming. An independent expert report released in June 2015 proposing radical changes in the institutional structure of UN peacekeeping is on the table, along with the fate of the Peacebuilding Commission, which has failed to live up to expectations. Members of civil society—nongovernmental organizations and experts from every region—are taking more assertive roles in these debates, signaling that the "We the peoples" for whom the UN Charter was written are becoming more active participants in the UN process.
And developing countries are taking on bigger roles in designing global programs that in past decades were delivered top-down from the secretariat and other UN agencies working in the field. What these players in the Group of 77—now numbering more than 130 developing countries, a solid majority in the UN General Assembly—will do with their rising influence is one important question. Another is whether the powerful permanent members of the Security Council—Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States—will make a concerted effort to avoid the deadlocks that stymie critical decisions on global crises, such as on Syria. (After four Russian vetoes, the Security Council offered some hope for an end to that crisis on December 18, when it adopted a resolution laying out a path to peace and the possibility of a transitional government in 2017. But the central issue of whether President Bashar al-Assad would have any role to play in the process was left unmentioned, and plans for a cease-fire were vague.) The Security Council may even consider restricting the use of the veto, which only those five nations have the power to use. It's an unlikely move, but one that is much discussed in the ongoing, contentious discussions about Security Council reform and enlargement.
But the most critical decision to be made in the coming year will be the choice of a secretary general to replace Ban Ki-moon, a former foreign minister in South Korea who has held the position since 2007. A genial, even courtly gentleman whose stewardship of the office has generally been valued as honest, capable, and well-intentioned, Ban has often stayed in the background, surrounded by loyal colleagues, except at ceremonial occasions. He has made some good appointments and others that are puzzling, preferring candidates as low-key as he is. This has made his office and several important UN agencies virtually invisible at a time when the system most needs bold direction. More than some of his predecessors, Ban has bent to the will of influential governments, which lobby for—or demand—the naming of their chosen (and not always qualified) nominees for important posts. For example, the appointment of Helen Clark, a former prime minister of New Zealand, as administrator of the UN Development Program has all but removed this critical agency from public view. To some extent, the same is true of UNICEF, whose executive director, Anthony Lake, an American national-security adviser under President Bill Clinton, was a puzzling choice to head an agency for children. At UN Women, a still-shaky new agency, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, a South African with scant feminist credentials, was named executive director. And though Ban initially had a good record of hiring women, he recently replaced some notable ones with men.

A Couple Joins The Mile High Club En Route To Vegas And Suffers ZERO Legal Consequences
It's on my personal bucket list to join the mile high club. And it looks like another couple beat me to the punch. But isn't it a goal for everyone?! The exclusivity of the club is like belonging to one of the coolest social group of daredevils in the world. The club itself includes a few celebrities and I can only imagine that they gather once a year or something like that to celebrate their status. Oh man, what a dream. Well, these two can definitely go have a seat at that table at any point, given that they joined the club AND got away without repercussions! Well, ALMOST.

Ending funding for public broadcasting would endanger PBS stations like Rocky Mountain PBS, which provide the programs and community outreach that educate, engage, inform and inspire.
Rocky Mountain PBS is an educational, informational and cultural lifeline for the nearly two million people throughout Colorado who turn to
Rocky Mountain PBS each month for exceptional commercial-free programming, news, community events, performances and public forums.
And those most impacted by the loss of funding would be citizens in rural communities. Rocky Mountain PBS reaches 98 percent of all Coloradans (including those who can't afford cable) and provides seven hours of non-commercial educational programming every day.
25 cents.
That's how much of your federal tax dollars go towards supporting Rocky Mountain PBS.
It doesn't sound like much. In fact, maybe you wonder what's the big deal if it was cut. But this cut would add up to over a million dollar loss for Rocky Mountain PBS.
Make your voice heard.
Contact Your Representatives and Senators.
The vitality of Rocky Mountain PBS could be threatened. While some believe that there is no longer a need for federal support of public broadcasting, we believe Rocky Mountain PBS is a small investment with an enormous return.

This Is A Great Dessert
Just Whip The Eggs
Prepare The Cups For Baking
Bake and Cool
Prepare The Berries
Mixed Berry Pavlova
Miz Helen's Kitchen
6 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
pinch salt
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
For The Berries
4 cups mixed berries
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup whipped topping for each Pavlova
Pour 6 egg whites in an electric mixer bowl.
Let the egg whites sit in the bowl for 45 minutes at room temperature.
Add the cream of tartar and salt to the eggs.
Beat the eggs until soft peaks appear.
Add the sugar to the eggs while they are beating 1 tablespoon at a time until all the sugar is incorporated.
Beat the egg whites until the peaks are very stiff and the meringue is shinny, this will take about 20 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and continue to whip the eggs, until the lemon juice is blended.
Very carefully fold in the cornstarch until completely blended.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 250 degrees.
Make 8 to 9 little mounds on the paper and then place an indentation in the center to form a cup. This can be done with a spoon.
Bake at 250 degrees for 1-1/2 hours then turn the heat off. DO NOT open the oven door. Leave the oven door closed for 1 hour.
Remove the Pavlova and cool for 2 hours.
The Berries
Mix the berries with the sugar and the vanilla. Cover and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
To Serve
Place the Pavlova on the serving dish, fill the cup with the whipped topping, place some berries on top of the topping. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tip
If you can make your Pavlova on a very dry day, it will be much better, if the humidity is high. If it is sticky, you may have to cook it for 45 minutes more, before turning the oven off.
I Can't Wait To Have One Of These
Enjoy Your Dessert!
Thanks so much for stopping by the cottage today to have dessert with us. We always look forward to your visits. Hope you have a very special week and come back to see us real soon!

Former England captain Michael Vaughan announced his retirement from all professional cricket with immediate effect here at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
Vaughan, England's most successful Test captain, has not played for his country since tearfully resigning the captaincy in August during the home series loss to South Africa.
His career has been blighted in recent years by a knee injury and speculation about the 34-year-old's future intensified after Vaughan failed to win a place in England's squad for the Ashes series against Australia which starts next week in Cardiff.
Yorkshire batsman Vaughan, in a statement issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), said: "After a great deal of consideration, I've decided that now is the right time to retire from cricket.
"It has been an enormous privilege to have played for and captained my country and this is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make.
"Having played almost non-stop for sixteen seasons, I feel that the time is right for the focus to shift to the next generation.
"We have some fantastic talent coming through the English counties and, with the next Ashes series upon us, now is the time for the younger players to rise to the challenge of building on the success achieved in English cricket in the last few years.
"I'd like to record my sincere thanks to the England fans and the ECB and the members and supporters of Yorkshire County Cricket Club for their unstinting backing throughout my career as well as my wife Nicola and the rest of my family who have been equally supportive.
"I'm also extremely grateful to all of the players, managers, coaches, media and administrators I've worked with, who have all contributed to making my career so enjoyable and fulfilling.
"I'd also like to wish Andrew Strauss and the current England team success in this Ashes series. I know they have the drive, ambition and abilities to repeat the success from 2005. Winning that series was most definitely the highpoint of my career."
Vaughan's record as captain during his five year spell in charge from 2003-2008 of 26 victories, 11 defeats and 14 draws, make him England's most successful skipper in terms of overall wins.
England's 2005 Ashes series win - which included a nailbiting two-run win at Edgbaston - was the crowning achievement of Vaughan's time in charge of England, with his knee problem leaving him sidelined for months at a time.
Unsurprisingly, his form as a batsman - which had seen him touch the realms of greatness during the 2002/03 tour of Australia when he made 633 runs at just over 63 apiece with three hundreds - also began to decline.
Desperate for one last series against Australia, Vaughan vowed to regain his place through sheer weight of runs but so far this season he has managed just 147 runs in seven County Championship innings for Yorkshire.
Meanwhile the emergence of Ravi Bopara, who this year has made hundreds in three successive Tests against the West Indies, at No 3, also dented Vaughan's hopes of a recall.
Vaughan scored 5,719 Test runs in 82 matches at an average of 41.44 with 18 hundreds and a best of 197 against India at Trent Bridge in 2002.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed futures trader David Sklena's fraud conviction Thursday, citing an earlier court's decision to exclude relevant testimony from Sklena's alleged co-conspirator.
The case dates back to April 2, 2004, when Sklena and broker Edward Sarvey were trading Five-Year Treasury notes on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade. That morning, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly employment report, causing the Treasury futures markets to drop sharply triggering Sarvey to execute stop orders totaling 2,474 contracts for his customers. Sarvey allegedly sold these contracts to Sklena at a price significantly below market value as the market was rebounding from previous lows, and then immediately repurchased 485 contracts, also at low prices.
In 2008, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a civil complaint against the duo, claiming that their noncompetitive trades had defrauded customers of more than $2 million. Sarvey died before trial, but Sklena was ultimately convicted of wire fraud, commodities fraud and noncompetitive trading, and sentenced to five years in prison.
In February 2012 the CFTC obtained a Federal court ruling ordering Sklena to pay more than $6.6 million in the case, and barring Sklena from "engaging in any commodity-related activity, including trading, and from registering or seeking exemption from registration with the CFTC."
At the time Sklena was being held in Federal prison.
On Thursday, however, the 7th Circuit overturned the trader's conviction and remanded his case for further proceedings. Sklena had appealed his conviction on two grounds, arguing that the government had insufficient evidence to support its charges against him, and that the district court erred in excluding Sarvey's deposition as inadmissible hearsay.
In its opinion, the court found that the government's evidence was sufficient to support Sklena's conviction. But it agreed that Sarvey's testimony was inappropriately excluded from the initial trial, ruling that the deposition "provides additional insight into Sarvey's and Sklena's private conversation on the trading floor—the conversation…that the government portrays as the basis for the Sarvey-Sklena conspiracy to engage in noncompetitive trades."
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois, where the case was originally tried, said the office had "no immediate comment but would review [the decision] and consider our options."

Those studying full-time have part-time jobs for some extra spendings, extramural work full-time to support themselves. How do Polish students earn their living?
The times when students were supported by their parents until graduating are long gone. 52% of students already start working in their first year of studies or even earlier. Today's labour market offers young people plenty possibilities for those who are in need of pocket money or simply have to make ends meet due to their financial situation.
The young generation often considers their future career when starting studies. Students take up a job and juggle it with lectures hoping to capitalise on it later on in their professional life. This practice is very common nowadays, since employers now require more and more from their potential employees. A diploma is not enough to get a decent job – other factors like job experience are also very valuable. A candidate who has already been professionally active is much more attractive in an employer's eyes. Such a worker is already familiar with working environment rules and aware of the discipline that is required from an employee. Apart from that, the ability of juggling studying and working shows determination and multitasking skills.
Ideally, a job combined with studies would match what one studies. Of course, it cannot always be a job in a particular vocation/at a certain post, but experience in a branch already is greatly appreciated. Therefore, a lot of students look for jobs in barrister's chambers as assistants or in offices. However, when working full-time, students are often forced to move to extramural education, gaining work experience for meagre pay at a cost of compromising quality of their education.
Statistically speaking, Poles are a bit behind in terms of working while studying. Data from the 4th quarter of 2007 (Eurostat) show significantly smaller professional activity among Polish youth in comparison with some of their European peers. Polish rate of professional activity of people aged 15-24 was different than the European average by around 10% and was slightly below 30%. However, the situation is changing.

Young people start to understand the need of taking up a job while studying. This was confirmed in a poll conducted in March 2010 on one of the career-dedicated portals. The users were asked when they started working during their studies. 41% of those asked indicated that it was their 3rd or previous year. 11% and 8% declared to had started working in their 4th and 5th year respectively. 15% started working only after graduating. 25% never worked while studying.
On average 41% of all types of students juggle work and studies. However, the proportions between the types are essentially different. For extramural students the rate is 69%, for night students 41%, but only 6% for full-time students. The latter have most problems finding employment.
In rich countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany or Switzerland 55-60% of pupils and students work. Especially in higher education a dual system which combines studying and working is promoted. It requires less hours spent at the university, but requires more individual work at home, which can be easily suited to working hours. In Poland such a system is non-existent which explains the fact that full-time students hardly ever can work. They are expected to spend long hours at the universities, leaving them virtually no time to work. Therefore, they prefer easier work like tutoring with flexible hours, or decide to skip classes to make it to their shift.

Rome: A trouncing in referendums that have wiped out Italy`s plans to return to nuclear power after a shock local election defeat mean Silvio Berlusconi has lost his magic, Italian newspapers said on Tuesday.
"The magic flute is broken. After 20 years, Italians have stopped following Berlusconi`s music," the leftist La Repubblica daily said, after final results from the referendum vote on Sunday and Monday confirmed a humiliating defeat.
With all the results tallied, the referendum against nuclear power was passed by a resounding 94 percent -- the same outcome as the vote to abolish a law aimed at giving the legally-embattled Italian prime minister immunity.
"The prime minister is no longer able to read Italians and to keep the government. This is really the end of a historic cycle," La Repubblica said.
"Italians have turned their backs on him," it added.
And it is not just traditional critics of Berlusconi who sense a seachange in Italian politics, the criticism is now also coming from within his own ranks.
"These will be difficult weeks for the coalition which finds itself ...in a surprisingly weak position. Berlusconi is living the worst moment of his political career," said Il Giornale, a daily owned by Berlusconi`s family.
"The centre-right needs to acknowledge this difficult time by reacting in the only way possible: with reforms and a new identity," it said.
Berlusconi "for the first time appears to have lost his capacity to be in harmony with his voters," it added.
Centrist daily Corriere della Sera took a much more critical line.
"If the local election result was a slap in the face, this is a knock-out for the centre-right," the newspaper said in an editorial.
"Democratic electorates are patient and tolerant but sometimes they stand up like giants and shake off the past," it said.
The result "reveals a loss of harmony with the country which for a great communicator is already a harsh sentence," it added.
But it cautioned that the opposition had still not united into a meaningful political alternative to Berlusconi: "It`s one thing to win referendums, it`s another thing to win elections to govern a country."

Quick Tip: How To Fix "Network is unreachable" After Switching From DHCP To Static IP Configuration
Updated: February 8th, 2017
Today I was setting up a new machine (running OpenSUSE 12.1, but it's not really important), and after switching the network configuration from DHCP to static IP, lost all connectivity, in and out. /etc/init.d/network restart seemed to list the right IP, yet I was getting
"unknown host"
"Network is unreachable"
errors while pinging. I double and triple checked all the settings – DNS and gateway were set up right. I even rebooted, but nothing worked.
Then I vaguely remembered that I ran into the same issue a few years prior and also spent hours trying to figure out what was going wrong. The solution was so incredibly simple that my geek cred should have been docked 10 points. But …
How To Fix Incomplete WordPress (WXR) Exports
Having spent way more time on this problem than I really should have, I'm going to make sure everyone can actually find a solution instead of useless WordPress support threads.
The Problem
I wanted to export all the data from WordPress using its native export mechanism (located at http://YOURBLOG/wp-admin/export.php), but since the blog I was working on was pretty large (6k posts, 120k comments), I kept getting XML files that ended prematurely and for which xmllint spit out this error:
Premature end of data in tag channel
Upon closer inspection, I saw the XML file ended with a random, yet always fully closed, </item> tag, but was missing the closing </channel> and </rss> tags, as well as a whole …

Cultures of the North: Dwarf
Standard Skills
Athletics, Conceal, Deceit, Endurance, Insight, Perception, Stealth
Combat Style: Dwarven Raiding
Dwarves favor weapons kept easily at hand. The Knife. The Dagger. The Club. The Hatchet. The Sling. They also train to fight with Short Sword, Long Sword, and Short Bow.
Scrapper (Benefit)
When using the Change Range action, the foe's opposed roll to maintain range (Evade) or meet the character with an attack are made at one difficulty grade higher.
Professional Skills
Art (any), Craft (any), Commerce, Culture, Language (any), Lore (any, esp. Dwarves, Dragons), Navigation, Survival
Dwarfs are a vagabond people. They are wanderers and merchants, crafters and teachers of the secret crafts. Their skills are highly valued, though they are feared as well. For it is well known that the dwarfs hold an unnatural awe of the dragons and their hoards. When dwarfs find a dragon, they steal away its hoard to attract it to a sacred cave where they will worship it. This is dangerous work, and it can lead to an angry worm that brings ruin to all the people of a region, dwarf and man alike. Dwarfish sojourners scour the north, often traveling alone or with a few trusted brethren, seeking the dragons. Dwarfish clans live nomadic lives too, traveling throughout the north on strange pilgrimages to worship their wormish gods.

Zeo Lite
I am wondering about zeo lite filtratoin product. I started researching the best filtration aid for my pool and found the MSDS sheet on the zeo lite product. The health risks listed are quite scary. Not to mention the handling proeedure. However what caught my attention and really suprised me that this product was even on the market for sale is the disposal method. Can anyone tell me if this product has been tested by a organization such as NSF for safe use? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Zeo Lite
There are many zeolite products that pass NSF Standard 50 which ensures that they filter at least as well as sand. This page on the NSF site shows all separately sold filtration media that pass NSF Standard 50. This includes Perlite and cellulose fiber for DE filters, recycled glass for sand filters, and Zeobrite® for sand filters. There is also this page for cartridge filters, this page for DE filters and this page for sand filters where many of these sand filters are shown as certified with various zeolite filtration media (in addition to those separately tested).
Note that NSF Standard 50 for filters is mostly about filtration capability and some basic safety. It's not an environmental seal of approval.

GMC H-80 Case Review
To cool the internal components, the H-80 uses four included case fans that bring in cool air from the front and side of the case and exhaust the hot air at the top and rear. This set-up should ensure that there is plenty of air-flow throughout the case and due to this constant flow of air, the hot internal areas such as the CPU, chipset and GPU should see a reduction in temperature at both idle and load. To read the temperature levels I will be using HWMontior before and after some stress testing and uploading the results into the graphs below, so we can judge the cooling performance to other cases from different companies.
Testing System:
- CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
- Motherboard: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3
- Memory Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 9-9-9-27
- Nvidia GTX260 Core 216
- Power Supply: Zalman 750 Watt modular power supply
- Hard Drive: Seagate 750GB 7200.11
- OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
- Case: GMC H-80
Comparison Cases:
- NZXT Hades
- CM 690 II Advanced
- IN WIN Fanqua
- Antec Three Hundred
The GMC H-80 was right in line with the other cases in terms of cooling performance.

While some Manhattan furriers specialize in classically cut coats and jackets that women can wear for decades, Dennis Basso and his colleagues are more interested in "new" furthe kind a starlet or pop diva might sport on the red carpet, and that might be replaced (or outdated) in a season or two. Accordingly, fashion rules at his white-marble Madison Avenue shop, which is stuffed with pelts dyed, beaded, and shaped within an inch of their natural state. Past the crystal chandelier in the foyer find cropped fox jackets built just like Chanel's signature boleros, striped chinchilla trenches similar to J. Mendel's originals, and embroidered, beaded black mink overcoats that almost hide the fact that they're fur. Even the more traditional stoles and overcoats are slimmer and more tailored here; trendy details like bell sleeves and hoods aren't uncommon on the outerwear. To underscore the point that Dennis Basso means fashion fur, the walls are lined with photos of supermodels like Maggie Rizer and Cintia Dicker sporting the boutique's latest styles. For a smoother visit, avoid the weekends; zealous PETA protestors often protest outside the store on Saturdays.

That's according to a new study conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of security software vendor SailPoint. According to the survey of almost 1,600 American and British workers, 49 percent and 52 percent, respectively would nab corporate data on their way out. In particular, 29 percent of U.S. respondents and 23 percent of UK workers said they would take customer data and contact information. On the other hand, only 13 percent and 22 percent, respectively, would swipe small office supplies like pens, folders and staplers.
"Companies should be gravely concerned with these survey responses," Jackie Gilbert, SailPoint's vice president of marketing and co-founder, said in the report. "I believe the survey illustrates that many employees may not believe that taking company data is equivalent to stealing. It highlights what I call a 'moral grey area' around ownership of electronic data."
Facing increased scrutiny and oversight from both customers and regulators, companies of all sizes are looking for security applications and procedures -- be it file-monitoring tools or mandatory security training sessions -- to keep their employees in line.

Those of us who take advantage of the freedom of the Internet to promulgate, disseminate or consume political commentary owe a debt of gratitude to departed Federal Election Commission Chairman Brad Smith, now returned to teaching at Capital University Law School. Smith first raised the alarm about the potential FEC regulation of the Internet this past March. I followed Smith's lead in writing about the subject in a column for the Daily Standard: "Dream palace of the goo-goos." Today Daniel Glover writes:
Thought your readers might be interested in this reprint of a National Journal article I wrote. I reprinted it at Beltway Blogroll so bloggers who rallied as a result of Smith's interview earlier this year could access the article for free. Here is a direct link: "Brad Smith's legacy at the FEC."

Those interested can stay up to speed on this important subject with several specialist blogs and expert bloggers, such as Smith's former FEC staff attorney (and my friend) Allison Hayward at Skeptic's Eye, quoted in Glover's column.

Cheap and easy is a GOOD thing if we're talking about cooking for a large group of people! Start this recipe the night before and instead of cooking and cleaning you can be beering and cheering!
- Yield
- 20 Sliders
- 2 Packages Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (in orange bag)
- 3 tbsp McCormick Grill Mates Pork Rub
- 1 Bone-in Pork Roast
- 1 Bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp whole cloves
- About 4-6 cups of water (enough to almost cover roast)
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp of pork rub on the pork roast and rub it into the meat. Repeat until you have generously covered the roast. Place roast in slow cooker - fat side down - and begin inserting the whole cloves into the top of the roast. Fill slow cooker with water until roast is almost completely covered with water. Cook for 7 hours on low or until meat easily sperates with a fork and pulls off of the bone. Pour juice from roast in a container and set aside. Shread the meat with two forks. Once shreaded, add a full bottle of BBQ sauce, cover, and turn slow cooker back on low for 30 minutes. Heat rolls as directed on package and make into sandwhiches with pork. You can use the juice that was set aside for gravy too!

Phobya's new masterpiece of cooling technology with PWM technology!
This is a fan that will satisfy both Silent-PC users and performance-oriented PC builders which is unique on the fan market. This innovative fan will bring fear to its competitors and keep your system cool with all of its great features!
The manufacturer's consortium Phobya has achieved that an increased Airflow does not necessarily result in higher noise emissions by using an innovative fan blade design. The specially curved fan blades in combination with the unique design and high fan blade density lead the way to the future of cooling! The bearing is quipped with the newest Nano technology which greatly reduces friction and noise emissions. The innovative motor design in combination with an optimally chosen fan speed does the rest to provide exceptional performance and quiet operation.
At full speed even the most modern fan will become audible. Therefore the Phobya fans are designed to handle lower voltages well which allows operation in a voltage range of 5-12V. This gives the option of a virtually inaudible operation whilst a strong Airflow will still keep your system cool.
The appearance nowadays also is an extremely important factor when considering a fan. The red fan blades, and now, all new black fan blades, in combination with an elegant black frame, completely in an elegant glossy finish result in a truly spectacular appearance of this fan which is a great choice for any system! NEW: The PWM version of the Phobya fans now has a red LED in every corner.
For cleaning of the fan the full rotor can be removed by lightly pulling on the frame respectively. Therefore cleaning of the fan can easily be accomplished: Simply hold the fan under running water and rinse off dust and dirt. After a short drying period the fan can be reassembled by simply pushing the rotor back into the casing and the fan can be used again.
Technical specifications:
Dimensions: 120x120x25mm
Color: Black frame, red and black fan blades, with red LEDs

A Rental Bath, Accessorized
This is the true story of a real person with a rental bathroom, trying to accessorize and make the best of it. We moved into our apartment a year ago, and had virtually nothing to put in the bathroom, except for wedding gifts. And so we went shopping for accessories.
We started out trying to create a streamlined, simple bathroom, but then felt the need to add colorful accessories. Now we're somewhere in the middle of clean and colorful, playing with both ideas. (Nota bene: we're not allowed paint and are saving our money for a house.) We love the accessories we have, especially the ones that hint of a nautical theme &mdash glass urchin, jellyfish print, blue glass, but still plan on tinkering with the bath as a whole.
Future goals include: Replace bamboo tray with white lacquered tray, replace stainless-steel lidded Q-tip jar with all-glass jar. We would like to simplify without getting too boring.
• 1 Upon the recommendation of fellow Apartment Therapy readers and bloggers, we started with a basic "waffle" shower curtain in white, $49.50 at Macys. We wanted to keep the small bathroom looking as spacious as possible.
• 2 To protect the curtain, we bought a white (versus clear) shower liner, $14.95 from Crate & Barrel.
• 3 Also upon the recommendation of Apartment Therapy readers and bloggers, we chose stainless steel roller rings, $11.95 at Crate and Barrel. They do, indeed, roll smoothly.
• 4 Our main towels (which were wedding gifts) are Macy's Hotel Collection turkish towels in ivory and suede, but for a little fun, we snagged some zebra-print towels on sale from West Elm. $12-$64 at Macys.
• 5 The Thomas O'Brien bath mat from Target matches our suede turkish towels, and gets put on the tub, under the curtain, when not in use. The graphic mat is from West Elm.
• 6 Poster from the Monteray Bay Aquarium, frame from Target
• 7 Bamboo tray, $14.95 at Crate and Barrel
• 8 Apothecary jar for Q-tips, $7.99 at The Container Store
• 9 Big Ben Folding Alarm Clock, $29.50 at L.L. Bean, so I know what time it is in the morning rush to get out the door.
• 10 White tissue box, West Elm.
• 11 Prism replica, from a whaling ship, $12.95 at Mystic Seaport
• 12 Glass sea urchin by Roost, $10.00 at Velocity Art and Design
• 12 Small canister for cotton pads, $16.95 from Crate and Barrel

In a priceless catch by the gang at Crooks and Liars, they actually heard "Tweety" Matthews say this right after the State of the Union Address:
Matthews:"…And I have to think given the ethnic, you know, excitement - let's call it American excitement about Barack Obama. If he doesn't make it to the nomination a lot of people on the Republican side might say, well why don't we try do something to offset that and take advantage of the hope of having an African American at a high level of government."
So, in other words, whatever the Democrats can do, we can do better? Even if it involves getting black people "excited"?
His idea was having a GOP contender tap Condi Rice. Yeah, like a Republican would choose someone with a Y chromosome darker than them for a running mate. I wonder how that will sit with his old running buddy Colin Powell?
Can someone please tell me why spongeheads like Chris Matthews and Don Imus, as well as Melanie Morgan, and Michael Savage and Hal Turner and the rest of those racist, homidical assclowns are not only employed by the media but are making more money than everyone who writes for this blog combined?

Should ICANN Open up?
This week, The Register ran a story on how the US supposedly had given up its 'control' over ICANN. ICANN, the body which assigns IP addresses and domain names worldwide, currently falls under the US Commerce Department via a contractual agreement; this means the US government can control ICANN. El Reg claimed the US had given up this control; Ars was quick to respond, stating that "the existing arrangement was likely to continue, at least for another year." Since the US had stated that it wanted to fully privatise ICANN by 2000, we'll have to wait and see what ICANN looks like in a year. In the meantime, do we really want the US to open up ICANN?

Harnesses that will hold your dogs securely in the basket can be purchased (see list of accessories below).
This basket can be mounted on a back rack, on the rear of the bicycle. It can be fastened on the back rack with cable ties (pictured), or it can be bolted into place. The large (12-inch base) basket fits easily on most bicycle racks. The XL back rack basket is out of stock.
