From April to July 1994, one of the most brutal genocides in human history occurred in Rwanda. It claimed the lives of 800,000 men, women, and children, most of whom were of Tutsi descent. Kwibuka, the official anniversary of the Rwandan Tutsi Genocide, is observed every year on April 7. Explore this selection of testimony clips of survivors and eyewitnesses to the genocide from the Visual History Archive.
At the end of each interview the Institute recorded for the Archive, the interviewer would ask the interviewee if he or she had a special message for future generations watching the interview.

Possibly the most well-known example of these rescue operations involved individual British families agreeing to "host" children from Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic through a program known as Kindertransport. Through this program, organized by Sir Nicholas Winton, an estimated 10,000 refugee children, most of them Jewish, were housed in the United Kingdom during the war. These children were able to avoid ghettoization and camp experiences; in many cases, they were the only members of their families to survive the Holocaust.

30 Sofas That Prove Color Is What Your Living Room Is Missing
Are you craving a dash of lemon yellow or pastel pink in your living room? A colorful couch just might be the answer. From marigold to watermelon and ruby red, sofas in every color of the rainbow can perk up your living room, and give it a much-needed dose of drama and personality.
Still not convinced? Here are 30 examples that help you stop thinking in neutrals, and start seeing your space in color.
A tufted crushed velvet couch looks even more luxurious in a rich jewel tone. Glamorous accents like faux fur ottomans and an oversized mirror add to the grandeur of the room.
Color doesn't have to be bright to be effective. This soft pastel sofa adds just the right amount of pink to a cool rustic room.
This two-tone room is color-coordinating at its best. The plum sofa stands out against the olive walls, creating the perfect earthy oasis.
If you're tight on space but don't want to skimp on style, a tufted love seat in a pastel hue is the perfect choice. Pick up accessories in the same color family to really nail the look.
A barn wood wall is instantly elevated by gold chairs with faux fur cushions and a tufted velvet settee in a rich grape shade.
A bright couch gives a neutral room a focal point. Try adding patterned throw pillows in complementary shades to really make the piece pop.
In case it wasn't obvious, velvet is back. This burnt orange oversized sectional steals the spotlight, so minimalist accessories — black and white prints, stark white walls and a basic coffee table — is all the space needs.
A regal purple sofa is exactly what this library called for. The mismatched armchairs and botanical art add to the space's quirky vibe.
Do like L.A.-based designer Emily Henderson and add bright furniture to perk up the mood of a room — and don't limit yourself to one shade. The right combination of colors can make for an inspiring space.
The colorful couch trend isn't the only furniture style that's having a major moment — printed sofas are back in a big way. If you pick a print, skip the throw pillows and let your sofa steal the show.
It doesn't have to be bright to have an impact. A subtle shade of blue is a perfect complement to distressed wood floors and exposed brick walls.
Styling rules are often made to be broken, and "don't put pink and red together" is one of them. This crimson tufted velvet sofa works beautifully against the watermelon walls.
A forest green oversized sofa anchors this open-concept space, softening the dining set's hard lines and the floor's geometric print.
This tufted navy sofa is the perfect addition to this white-painted room. To keep things light and airy, L.A.-based designer Emily Henderson picked accessories in the same color family to bring the outdoors inside this New York lake house.
A blue linen sofa takes pride of place under a picture of greenery that mimics the look of a window, bringing life to this lower-level room. An orange coffee table is an unexpected, but welcome, addition.
Eye-catching patterns and jewel tones were made to go together, and this sleek living room proves it. The zebra-printed stools and the emerald sofa add to the earthy nature of the space.
This tufted tuxedo sofa takes over the center of the room (and visitors' attention) in this minimalist space thanks to its exquisite color and studded design.
When paired with a yellow Acapulco chair, a sunny sofa brings this Haussman-style apartment into the 21st century, and provides a much-needed hit of color to the all-white space.
Linen and velvet are a texture match made in design heaven. Take a cue from designer Ali Budd and use a rich royal blue sofa to enhance the look of a neutral room.
Pink and green is a fresh palette — and this room nails the color combo. To keep the creative juices flowing through the space, L.A.-based designer Emily Henderson packed it with bright shades centered around this emerald sofa.
Pair this modern pink sofa with dark navy walls for a cool contrast that will have everyone talking.
A royal blue sofa breaks up the monochrome color scheme in this black-and-white room.
A basic brown and white room doesn't need to be boring. Add a pop of pigment that will complement your color scheme, like this room's olive-hued couch.
This room goes back to basics, bringing three simple colors together to build an extra sleek space. The velvet camelback love seat and brass library lamps add a dose of vintage elegance.
This navy-paneled room works for so many reasons (the lacquered coffee table! the brass accessories!), but the velvet forest green tuxedo sofa is certainly the star of the show.
This bold space is not for the faint of heart, but it's everything a living room calls for: comfort, coziness and personality.
Designer Colette van den Thillart added accessories in the same color family as her salmon sofa to tie in the standout shade.
A quintessential '70s sofa gets a modern makeover with metallic geometric legs in this cozy living room.
If there's a way to build a "happy space," this bright yellow sofa might be it. Paired with soft pink throw pillows, the seating area contrasts the stark walls and white accessories perfectly.
In this study, a saturated purple hue creates a warm, enveloping sense of space, while a green sofa adds a verdant note.

Update: in preliminary numbers Sunday night's episode drew a 7.1 adults 18-49 rating and 13.9 million viewers.
Last week, The Walking Dead returned to a giant 8.2 adults 18-49 rating. Usually, a show's ratings decline a bit after the premiere, but The Walking Dead breaks all the established rules of television. Since the American League Championship Series concluded last night, FOX will be airing reruns tonight, which should be signifigantly less competition than a game 7 featuring the Red Sox would have been. Sunday Night Football's match-up, featuring the undefeated Broncos versus the Colts may make some fans of both football and zombies decide to DVR TWD for later viewing. So how do you think the The Walking Dead will do tonight? Make your prediction!

Celine outlet italy 7 days A council house for life The government is planning to end lifetime tenancies for new tenants, giving councils and housing association the freedom to grant fixed terms.
Under their plans, which the government claims could create up to 1.35m extra lettings over the next 30 years, tenancies will be reviewed after two years and tenants white and black celine bag can be evicted if councils find their financial circumstances have improved. If it is decided they no longer qualify for the home, they will be given six months' notice to leave. Currently people who are given council houses are awarded an indefinite "secure tenancy" after a 12 month trial tenancy. They can be evicted only if they fail to pay rent, cause serious problems for neighbours or in other exceptional circumstances. If they die, the tenancy can be passed to partner or a child. Dawn Hazell firmly believes she should be able to remain in the council house in Cunningham Road, Norwich, formerly occupied by her parents Brian and Daphne Barrett, who both died last year. Mrs Hazell, 50, is currently living in the three bedroom house with her husband Michael, 37, her daughter Samantha Bacon, 32, and grandson Lynden Spall, 10. She and her husband, an unemployed chef, moved into the house in September 2009, having previously been living in private rented accommodation in Carrow Road. They celine id bracelet size celine outlet store ny moved in to nurse her sick father, who died last March. "My mum was suffering from dementia. We couldn't leave her on her own. After my dad's death she deteriorated and died in November," said Mrs Hazell. "Then, at the beginning of December, we had a council official round telling us we had to get out." Mrs Hazell said the family was this week given four week's notice to leave the property. They received a letter telling them their housing need was classed as low, but that they would be eligible to bid for a three bedroom property. Mrs Hazell, who is currently on sick leave from her job at a supermarket, said: "I can't see why we have got to move out. It's been a family home for over 30 years. I grew up there. I've lost my mum and dad and now we're going to lose our home. I haven't even grieved yet. "Why have we got to go in four weeks' time They have got to put us somewhere. After four weeks the house will come up on the council bidding site. We are entitled to bid for it, but if someone celine outlet italy 8 day itinerary is a higher band than us where do we go" However, rights of succession to council properties are only granted once. A partner or a child can take over the tenancy, but in Mrs Hazell's case her mother took it trapeze bag celine over after her father's death, meaning she is not eligible. A spokesman for Norwich City Council said she could not comment on individual cases, but said: "We take our duty to house people incredibly seriously and would consider somebody's case. They need to provide documentation and, of course, we do what we can to put them in the most appropriate accommodation for their needs." While most people living in the UK permanently are eligible to apply for council housing, it is allocated to those who need it most. In Norwich, need is assessed according celine luggage shoulder to five bands, ranging from emergency including those with urgent medical needs or threatened with serious and immediate violence through gold, silver and bronze, down to low need. There are currently 6,692 applicants on the housing waiting list, although this includes those waiting for a transfer between properties and people who may not have a right to be in the UK. The council operates, in conjunction with Broadland and South Norfolk councils, the Home Options choice based lettings system in which eligible people are able to bid for the properties they want. Brenda Arthur, cabinet member for housing at Norwich, said: "The government proposal of having much shorter tenancies and assessments after various periods is not one we actually support. We've said we're going to oppose it. "We don't believe it encourages good stable communities and people remaining there and being able to give back to those communities. We believe if one person is investing in one of our properties, bringing up their families, enriching communities and paying their rent on time they should be able to stay. "You don't get those stable communities without when people are always looking over their shoulders and are thinking 'If I get a better job, will I have to move out' We want to enable and develop strong communities and give people security of tenancy." Geoff Lowe, chairman of Norwich Tenants' Citywide Board, said he understood the need to make sure housing was allocated to those who needed it most in the future, but that every two years was too frequent for assessments. "If it's every two years, people will always be looking over their shoulders. We want to grow communities in Norwich. If people are going to go after two years we're not going to achieve that. Five years would seem more reasonable. "The review couldn't be applied retrospectively.
We don't want to put people in fear that they will lose their tenancies.". .

You have likely seen the commercials and wondered about the Whirlpool Duet Pair… Well we had some time with these bad babies and I'm here to say as a matter of fact that Whirlpool "has the goods". The Whirlpool Duet Adaptive Clean Wash Precision Dispense is an innovative technology that tells the machine exactly how much water and detergent to use no matter what you put inside. Their advertising says that they will keep your clothes looking newer longer and with less effort. We wanted to put that to the test…
So the first thing we did is go over to Walmart and pick up a couple of Faded Glory brand shirts for $5 (they are blue). We did 60 wash/dry cycles with the Whirlpool Duet Pair and 60 with an average washer and dryer that you might find at your parents house to see if there was a difference… After all that is a pretty interesting claim… looking newer longer…
So a couple of things. First WOW cheers to Walmart we had a betting pool to see how long the $5 shirts would actually last… both survived the ordeal and fairly well. Whirlpool didn't lie. No liar liar pants on fire for them, the results were clear. The Whirlpool Duet Pair was easier on the shirt somehow because the blue was more vibrant and the material felt stronger than the shirt that was washed in the average washer and dryer.
It was pretty cool too because we didn't have to keep dumping detergent into the Whirlpool machine it holds up to 12 loads of laundry if you use the concentrated stuff so it lived up to the easier claim as well.
Another nice feature of the Whirlpool Duet Pair is the whole "Load. Leave. Love" thing. They have a dynamic venting technology that lets you leave the wash in the washer. Ever forget to switch them over before you crashed out for the night? Wake up in the morning and groan because you have to re-wash… maybe you were even late for work because of it? Not with the Whirlpool Duet Pair. Wow… the built-in fan will "tumble" your clothes for up to 12 hours so you can leave them overnight. Depending on the material in your washing machine that might even dry them if the load is small enough.
The dryer side of the Whirlpool Duet is pretty advanced as well. You have an advanced moisture system that reduces shrinking by using built-in sensors designed to change the air temp and moisture levels in your dryer. It is able to intelligently dry your clothes so that they come out dried and not cooked. Your clothing no longer has to feel like a Thanksgiving Turkey!
The Whirlpool Duet has an Eco monitor feature that allows you to use low water temperature int he washer and less heat in the dryer. That means easier on the clothing and better on the energy consumption… something everyone likes to see. The waster has a 4.3 cubic foot capacity and the dryer has a 7.3 cubic foot capacity. We were able to fit about 9 pairs of adult jeans and 3 shirts in the washer without an issue.
All in all we loved the Whirlpool Duet Pair. We give it a 9 out of 10, they are beautiful and more importantly… they work well!

I bet these three characters can create a lot of mischief. I know that mine do.ReplyDelete
I so love Meow Mondays!ReplyDelete
It is the coldest day so far here in Iowa and my barn cats, all six, are tucked into the heated box there and won't come out to eat until later. Heated pet mats are just wonderful things. Your cats are beautiful!
Thanks Karen! Fluffy was once an outside cat - we had heaters set up for her during the winter. Couldn't let her get too cold.ReplyDelete
Sissie - these three do cause a lot of mischief!ReplyDelete
They are just super cute! I love cats but don't have any since I have two large dogs who don't love them. Maybe one day!ReplyDelete
I really enjoy your pics and Meow Monday -- Jack is such a ham... and such a cutie. So are the other two...ReplyDelete
Such cute pictures of everybody.ReplyDelete
I recently had to have my 20 year old cat put to sleep due to illness and said I don't want another one for a while but that picture of Jack makes me want to run out right NOW and get a new kitty. SO precious!ReplyDelete
Awww. Aren't cat the cutest? Look at Jack and his candid camera moment. Seeing their pictures makes me miss Kimmy (my fluffy Persian) more. She's confined at portland vet center for a minor surgery.ReplyDelete
For domestic pets, I like cats too. They're cute, sweet and quiet. However, since I'm into horseback riding, I'm closer to a horse. -CadenceReplyDelete

I just bought a R1200CL and have put a 1k miles on it. My first BMW was a new 1970 750/5 which I still have. My friends gave me a hard time about riding a old man's bike because it was a BMW. I've gone full circle and I am back to a old man's bike, I guess.
I am really enjoying this machine though.

SANFORD — Local contractors and students are teaming up to provide the Sanford Housing Authority (SHA) with a new home.
This Wednesday, Oct. 31, SHA staff members, Sanford Regional Technical Center (SRTC) students, local contractors, officials and guests will gather at the site on School Street for a special ceremony at noon. The site is located right next to Central Park, on property cleared last year for the project.
Construction already is under way, with much of the concrete foundation in place.
For the project, SHA Director Bill Keefer is working with the Great Works Foundation, a local nonprofit formed in 2011 for the purpose of advising and supporting career and technical learning at SRTC. Ron Woodward, of Petrona, Inc., is serving as construction consultant on the project, and David Joy, of Joy and Hamilton Architects, is the architect.
Joseph Doiron, SRTC's project manager and liaison to the Great Works Foundation, called the project "an economic stimulus for the downtown," in that it is providing work for local contractors and is giving students an opportunity to learn and gain experience. SRTC students will do much of the building; the project is on a considerably larger scale than the homes they construct on the high school's back lot each year.
SHA has outgrown its current headquarters at 114 Emery Street. Its new building on School Street will be built with an 1880s design to reflect the Victorian era and be consistent with surrounding structures, Doiron said. The facility will be 7,500 square feet and two stories high and will have an elevator. The first floor will have offices for staff and spaces to meet with clients. The second floor will have administrative offices and a meeting room, Doiron said.
Doiron noted that town officials have shown "phenomenal" support for the project, both during the planning process and since. He added that the $1 million project is slated to be completed by the spring of 2013.
"This project is unique and probably the first of its kind in New England for both housing authorities and high school technical centers," Doiron said. "This is a significant project that illustrates the success of partnerships, importance of live, hands-on education and preserving the historic design of a downtown."

Full name Wayne Barnes
Born April 20, 1979, Gloucester
Current age 40 years 272 days
Other Referee
English referee Wayne Barnes became a professional referee in 2005 giving up a career in law to do so.
He was, when appointed, the youngest referee to ever be selected for the Panel of National Referees in 2001 aged just 21. He then went on to referee at the 2003 Under-19 World Cup in France and the 2005 Under-21 Rugby World Cup in Argentina.
He went fully professional in April 2005 and made his Test debut in 2006 as he oversaw three matches in the Pacific Five Nations tournament.
In April 2007, he was selected to officiate in the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France. His tournament though came to a contentious finish as New Zealand were knocked out of the tournament by hosts France at the quarter-final stage. Barnes sent Luke McAlister to the sin-bin and missed a forward pass in the lead-up to France's match-winning try as the All Blacks lost 20-18 after which Barnes received death threats. However, there were few complaints with his performance when the All Blacks subsequently beat Scotland in Edinburgh a year later.
He also became the first English official ever to take charge of a match at Croke Park in Dublin as he oversaw Wales against Ireland in the 2008 Six Nations Championship, won 16-12 by the Welsh.
The Englishman also took charge of the British & Irish Lions tour clash with the Cheetahs in 2009 and his first tri-Nations clash later the same year when he was the man in them middle for Austraila's clash with South Africa in Brisbane. He also served as an assistant for New Zealand's match with South Africa in Hamilton and Australia in Wellington. Later he was handed the Air New Zealand Cup fixture between Wellington in Southland and his performances were praised by the country's leading officials.

Zeke Scherl is second on the team with six wins (Gil Talbot).
Scene Setter
The No. 3 Harvard men's squash team returns to Ivy League action this weekend, hosting Columbia Saturday at noon and Cornell Sunday at noon. After the Crimson take on the Big Red at noon, MIT will make the short trip to the Murr Center for a 4 p.m. showdown, as well.
Last Time Out
The Crimson stepped back out of Ivy League play and made the short trip to Amherst for the Pioneer Round Robin Jan. 19. In the opener, the Crimson toppled Western Ontario, 8-1, sweeping six individual matches. Senior co-captain Jason Michas outlasted Adam Engel, 11-7, 8-11, 11-3, 3-11, 19-17, to remain undefeated on the year, while Matt Roberts also picked up a five-game victory at No. 9, edging Kale Wilson, 12-10, 9-11, 9-11, 11-5, 11-6. In the second game, the Crimson breezed past Amherst, 9-0, losing just three games in the match and winning the top seven positions on the ladder 3-0.

About No. 3 Harvard
Harvard is 10-1 on the year and 2-1 in Ivy League play. Harvard has dominated its opposition in wins this season, sweeping eight of its 11 opponents. Reigning national champion Ali Farag is a perfect 6-0 on the year, playing out of the No. 1 position on the ladder. Upperclassmen Jason Michas and Tommy Mullaney (7-0) are tied with freshmen Matt Roberts and Sam Goldberg (7-1) are tied for the team lead with seven wins apiece. As a team, Harvard boasts an .888 winning percentage, going 95-12 in the first 11 contests of the year.
About No. 11 Columbia (Team Page)
The Lions split its two matches last weekend. Columbia narrowly beat Middlebury, 5-4, Saturday before falling to Williams, 6-3, Sunday. Overall, the Lions are 6-5 on the year and 1-2 in conference play. Ramit Tandon, who lost to Ali Farag in last year's CSA individual national championship title match, tops the Lions with a 10-1 mark, while Mohamed AbdelMaksoud and Graham Miao are tied for second with seven wins apiece.
Series History Against the Lions
Harvard bested Columbia, 9-0, in the only meeting between the two programs on Feb. 3, 2012.
About No. 5 Cornell (Team Page)
After taking on Dartmouth Saturday, the Big Red will make the trip down to Cambridge to take on the Crimson. Cornell enters the weekend with an 11-2 overall mark and 2-1 Ivy League record. Nick Sachvie is the team's team top ranked player, coming in at No. 13 in the CSA rankings with a 7-3 record. Ryan Todd leads the team in wins with 11, while Graham Dietz (10-2) and Abhijit Malik (9-1) are close behind.
All-Time Record vs. the Big Red
Harvard won the first 36 matches the two schools played and has won six of the last eight, including the last three, to lead the all-time series, 42-2. The Crimson won both of last year's meetings by 5-4 scores, knocking off the Big Red at home Feb. 5 before pulling off a dramatic come-from-behind win in the third-place match at the CSA Team Championships Feb. 19.
About MIT (Team Page)
The Engineers are 3-12 on the year after dropping their last four matches to Tufts, 6-3, Bowdoin, 9-0, Connecticut College, 8-1, and Amherst College, 9-0. Gary Riley, who has spent time at positions three, four and five on the ladder, leads the team with a 6-9 mark. Bowen Baker and Sunny Long are tied for second on the team with identical 4-11 records.
All-Time Mark vs. the Engineers
The Crimson has rattled off 42 consecutive wins against the Engineers to lead the all-time series, 52-2. Harvard has swept eight of the last nine meetings between the schools and 18 of the last 19. MIT's only two wins came back in 1955 when the Engineers edged the Crimson, 4-1, twice in just over a month.
Zeroing In
Harvard swept its first three opponents of the season for the 21st time in program history before finally losing a match to No. 6 Rochester. The three consecutive sweeps to begin a year is the longest streak since Harvard swept the first four matches of 2006-07. Harvard's program record for consecutive shutouts to begin a season is six, which it did it 2004-05, 1991-92 and 1972-73. The program record for shutouts in a season is 12, set by the 1991-92 team and equaled by the 1994-95 squad. Thus far, Harvard has swept eight of its 11 opponents with No. 5 Rochester and No. 1 Princeton winning the only matches against the Crimson.
Coach's View
Assistant coach Luke Hammond is now blogging to give fans an inside perspective of the Harvard men's and women's squash teams. The blog will be periodically updated throughout the season, recapping the latest results and highlighting other interesting tidbits about the squad.

Undefeated Ali
Junior Ali Farag is a perfect 22-0 in his Harvard squash career. The Egypt native went 16-0 last season, including an 11-0 mark at the No. 1 position, en route to the individual CSA title and is off to a 6-0 start this year after picking up wins against Dartmouth, Rochester, Bates, Penn, Princeton and Western Ontario.
Successful Starts
Harvard is 56-1 in its last 57 opening matches dating back to 1956. Harvard started the year 8-0 for the second straight season after beginning last year 10-0.
Meet the Captains
Jason Michas and Zeke Scherl were voted co-captains for the 2012-13 season. Michas, who also served as a co-captain last year, is one of three undefeated players on the squad, while Scherl is 6-1 and tied for the second most wins on the team.
Welcome Back
Harvard returns nearly everybody from last year's squad with Will Ahmed '12 serving as the lone exception. Defending national champion Ali Farag returns for his junior season after posting an 11-0 mark at the No. 1 position and 16-0 record overall in his inaugural campaign in Cambridge. He's joined by fellow All-American Brandon McLaughlin, who finished 10-8. Overall, Harvard returns 97.6 percent (160/164) of its matches won in 2011-12.
Third is the Word
In the CSA preseason rankings, Harvard was ranked as the third best team in college squash. The Crimson sits behind No. 1 Princeton and No. 2 Trinity, who finished in those positions to conclude last season, as well.
Related Article: Men's Squash Ranked No. 3 in CSA Preseason Rankings
New Faces
Six freshmen have joined the squad for the 2012-13 season. They are Walker Evans, Sam Goldberg, Peter Janulis, Jake Matthews, Matt Roberts and James Watkins. The sextet hails from four states (Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut) and three countries (the United States, South Africa and the United Kingdom).
Last Season
Harvard outlasted Cornell, 5-4, in the third-place match of the CSA Team Championships in Princeton, N.J. Ali Farag breezed to an easy victory at No. 1, while then-junior captain No. 8 Jason Michas and then-sophomore No. 2 Brandon McLaughlin both rallied from 2-0 deficits to lift Harvard past the Big Red.
Leading the Way
Mike Way, The Gregory Lee '87 and Russell Ball '88 Endowed Coach for Squash at Harvard University, returns for his third season at the helm of the Crimson. In just over two seasons, his teams have posted a combined 35-11 mark, including a 16-4 record last year. Both of his assistants, Reg Schonborn and Luke Hammond, are back for 2012-13, as well.

I recently flew an airline with "open seating." Which basically means you get an assigned boarding number (like at a deli counter) and you must fend for yourself and your family from there.
As I walked the aisle, I quickly assessed my potential row-mates. Had they recently showered? Would they take initiative in an emergency? Are they so young that they're in diapers? Are they so old that I may need to resuscitate them during the flight?
When I finally picked my seat, the look on my new neighbor's face was one of total disdain. What I wanted to say was, "Look at me lady, it could be worse -- the woman behind me has a colicky infant and the guy behind her has something that sounds like the plague!"
As a nervous flier, I'm easily annoyed about things that happen on planes (clearly). So I thought I'd "air" some of my grievances about flying.
- Flight attendants who are too calm. There's turbulence that's got me in "prayer mode" and you're serving freakin' coffee? If you're so calm, how do I look to you to see if I should start worrying?
- Flight attendants who aren't too calm. I know you're trained to keep your cards close. They tell you to seem unfazed, even if we're heading for certain death. So, if I see the slightest bit of fear on your face, I may try to break down the cockpit door for more information.
- Airplanes with ashtrays. Hasn't the "No Smoking" on planes rule been in effect for like 30 years? If I see an ashtray on an armrest, I know this plane is old as fuck, whether the seats are reupholstered or not.
- Air travel terms that remind me of death. Like terminal, final destination, hangar, cockpit. OK, not so much the last one, that just makes me giggle. "Cockpit."
- Your child. I know it's hypocritical of me. But let's make a deal: I'll stop my children from jamming their seat backs into you (and trust me, they're bored, they want to) if you stop your child from kicking the back of my seat.
- Random noises. People who don't like flying are also part-time flight mechanics (just ask us). We're aware of every sound, buzz, hum, and jiggle, and we are constantly diagnosing what they could be indicative of. (Our diagnosis is never good.)
- People trying to chit-chat when I'm popping anti-anxiety pills. Please understand that I'm hopped up on a mix of Xanax and caffeine -- I may talk your ear off, ignore you, nearly pass out, or try to hold your hand at any given time. Open that door at your own risk.
- Snack options. Don't tease me with a good brand of snacks only to offer me the flavor they regret putting into production. I don't need mesquite bacon-flavored, chocolate-covered terra chips. (No one does.)
- Mentioning when there's a mechanical delay. It's bad enough we're stuck in the plane, don't tell me you're fixing something, de-icing something, or having a fuel issue or a weight problem, unless you want me to stand with the flight attendants by the drink station asking them to rock me gently.
- People who don't turn off their electronics. I know, a phone probably won't take down the plane, but if you're not willing to follow simple rules, you're a loose cannon and not to be trusted in an emergency exit row.
- People who make ironic or sarcastic plane crash references. You'll be all nervous and gripping the seat so hard it may crumble when a friend/hubby/random traveler will say, "Relax, what's the worst that could happen?" Remarks that refer to plane crashes are rarely funny, but you know when they're NEVER funny? When you're actually on a plane!
- Have I mentioned "open seating"? Did we not all get enough of that stressful feeling waiting to be picked for dodgeball?
- Last, but far from least: the fact that planes have to leave the ground in the first place. Why can't they just roll super fast on special highways rather than test the laws of physics by attempting to lift 300 tons of metal 35,000 feet into the air?
What are your pet peeves about flying?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Cole Dickerson scored 18 points Saturday to help San Francisco get its first West Coast Conference win of the season, 62-53 over Loyola Marymount.
Avry Holmes added 11 points for the Dons (8-11, 1-5), who won despite shooting 33 percent from the field - slightly better than the 32 percent they shot Thursday in a loss to Santa Clara. San Francisco avoided becoming the first Dons team to lose its first six WCC games since the 1991-92 team lost its first seven.
Anthony Ireland had 13 points for the Lions (8-11, 1-5) but missed a game-tying 3-pointer with 1:04 left, and USF made enough free throws in the final minute to seal the victory. Bruce English chipped in 12 for the Lions, who made just 28 percent of their shots and were 2 of 20 from 3-point range.
USF now holds a 106-38 lead in the series between the schools.

Have you found yourself spending more time than usual on LinkedIn within the last couple of months? I know I have. Much of that has to do with the recent changes that the company has rolled out which has improved usability and is encouraging users to spend more time actively participating within the platform.
LinkedIn should be viewed as a tool for marketers to connect with other professionals or companies in a meaningful way, not a platform for shouting your marketing message at unsuspecting victims.
For example, you wouldn't approach a table full of professionals at a networking event that you don't know and open up with "Buy my B2B marketing automation software! It will save you time and money." Talk about open mouth and insert foot. I'm sure we can all agree that a first interaction like the one mentioned above would likely squash any chance of having a meaningful interaction with your new connections.

iptables for Asterisk and FreePBX
If you've installed Asterisk and FreePBX, or you're using one of the preconfigured distributions such as Trixbox or Elastix, a good idea is to have the linux firewall, iptables, running on your system. Here's an example of how you could set this up. First thing to note is that it's pretty easy to lock your self out of your server when playing around with iptables! It's best to take a couple of simple precautions in case this happens. These instructions should apply to CentOS/Redhat/Fedora.

"And another thing … " Readers roar back on bad theater etiquette
Last week, I let it fly with my latest mini-rant calling out escalating bad behavior at live theater performances, which was really just a follow-up to my initial major-rant on the subject titled, "Theaters' worst acts take place in the seats."
Needless to say, few subjects strike a deeper chord among theatergoers, who responded in large numbers with their own tales of woe. Which leads me to the obvious conclusion that those same boors who think their shoes perched on back of your seat comes included with the price of their ticket … probably don't read the newspaper.
But catharsis is good.
Here's a representative sample from our readers' collective, communal vent. I'm not sure I agree that all of the actions cited below constitute etiquette violations, but I'm putting it all out there for your inconsideration.
(Remember to click on the "Next Page" option after every few anedcotes to read the story all the way through.)
Clint Heyn: During a play called "Artichoke," a patron took a call (with a loud ring tone). He got up and stood in the only entrance and said in very loud voice, "Seeing a play … Yeah, it's OK … What are you doing later? … No, I could definitely skip the rest of this — I'd rather have fun." He got interrupted just then, for it was time for my entrance. I did my best Adam Foote impression and checked him into the boards.

Romney calls for more and speedier oil drilling: Here's the reaction
[media-credit name="Denver Post" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate Thursday outlined an energy plan aimed at boosting domestic oil drilling, particularly offshore, building the XL Keystone pipeline from Canada to Texas and turning over drilling permitting on federal lands – now done by the federal Bureau of Land Management – to the states.
The reaction was been swift and sometimes furious and mostly predictable. Here's what I'm hearing:
"The Romney plan demonstrates a very clear understanding of how America's oil and natural gas companies, like mine, work," said Virginia "Gigi" Lazenby, chairman of the Independent Petroleum Producers Association. "It unleashes the potential of America's independent producers, which will result in millions of jobs, revenues to federal, state, and local governments and a more secure United States."
"Romney's plan for big oil doesn't add up," said Peter Maysmith, executive director of Colorado Conservation Voters. "Instead of moving Colorado forward to a cleaner energy future, Romney/Ryan plan will yank us back into the beginning of the last century. 120 Coloradans have already lost their jobs this summer, in part because of Romney's opposition to wind energy's tax credit."

A gold medal is just a fight away for America's youngest Olympic boxer, Claressa Shields, who defeated her opponent from Kazakhstan Wednesday to the chants of "USA" echoing through London's Excel Center.
After getting pummeled in the corner during a shaky start, Shields advanced her lead over Marina Volnova and exited the ring with a 29-15 victory.
Now she's one step closer to winning the Olympic middleweight title and to pleasing an idol who offered her unexpected words of encouragement ahead of her bout.
U.S. & World
"Your Jab is so solid use it more!" boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard tweeted at the 17-year-old. "Your Hook, wow (just like mine) win every round and bring home the Gold Claressa!!!!!!!!"
She replied to the message just hours before she was set to step into the ring. "Thanks!" she wrote. "Wow! Ur one of my idols."
Her coach echoed Leonard's message from the sidelines: "Your jab's your bread and butter!"
Shields will face off against Russia's Nadezda Torlopova for the gold medal Thursday. If she loses the fight she claims silver, which the U.S. boxing team would add to the bronze it already notched in the women's flyweight division.
Marlen Esparza, the Cover Girl model from Houston, secured the bronze by making it to the semifinal round. She lost her shot at the gold after losing to China's world champion, 10-8, in her final bout Wednesday. In women's Olympic boxing, losers of the two semifinal bouts take a bronze, while the winners compete for the gold.
Still, the bronze is not what she wanted.
"In the U.S., if it's not gold, it's not good enough," Esparza told The Associated Press ahead of her fight.
The final member of the USA women's boxing trio, Quanitta "Queen" Underwood, was eliminated after losing her first bout of the Games, 21-13, to the U.K.'s Natasha Jonas.
"I just wanted a medal," she said on NBC after the fight. "I know I had a tough draw from the beginning."
Her draw put her up against a world championship bronze medalist from Liverpool who had the deafening support of the sold-out Excel Center. If she had won the bout, she would have had to face off against the pound-for-pound world champion, Katie Taylor, who is on pace for a gold.
Ireland's champion lightweight took out Jonas 26-15 in the quarterfinals and easily won her semifinal bout 17-9 against Tajikistan's Mavzuna Chorieva to the chants and cheers of a Irish-heavy crowd. She fights for gold Thursday against Russia's Sofya Ochigava.
India's five-time world champion Mary Kom, who was expected to advance to the gold in the lightweight division, lost in a surprising bout Wednesday to Great Britain's Nicola Adams, 6-11. Adams will take on China's champion, Cancan Ren, for the gold.
The finals begin Thursday at 11 a.m. ET. All fights will be streamed live on NBC Olympics.

I'm planning a fairly non-traditional campaign, in a completely custom setting (still high-fantasy, but slightly more modern).
While in this campaign, I have certain events that I've planned to occur. What I really want to do is to encourage players to do be entertaining. Do outlandish things to keep the game fun.
In figuring out how to do this, I came across the idea of granting players custom feats as a reward for doing well or being explorative in some situations. These custom feats would not really give combat advantages, but more quirks to the character. A way to reflect changes to their personality from what they've experienced.
For example, when the players visit a city based on ancient Sparta, they will encounter two largely muscular men oil wrestling in loincloths. If a male player chooses to investigate, they might earn the "Bi-curious" feat, which grants a small boost to diplomacy checks on npcs of the same gender.
Has anyone else tried this, and if so, what are some pitfalls to look out for??

- If you use a blanket, ensure it is tucked around the sides of the crib mattress and covers your baby only up to the chest.
- Do not place decorative pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins or stuffed animals in the crib while your baby is sleeping, as they may prevent proper air circulation around your baby's face.

I understand the impulse to write a post like "Being Right Doesn't Guarantee That You're Not Wrong", Jacques Rosseau's guest post at Martin Pribble's blog. I really do.
In this fight over making our movements more welcoming to women and other marginalized groups, there have been a lot of people complaining that they're being shot down and mistreated for asking questions. There have been a lot of people offerning up naive statements and opinions pulled out of thin air and feeling mistreated over the response. There's been a lot of personal narrative offered up to humanize the problems we're talking about.
It's been working, too. Most conferences are considering inclusion when setting their speaker lists, if not yet setting themselves a goal of parity. More people are recognizing the role of pseudoscience in maintaining inequalities. More events are accessible locally, on a budget, and with child care. More groups are setting anti-harassment policies in place and listening to the corporate world in figuring out how to enforce them. More prominent people are stepping up to point out how marginalizaion occurs online and to demand that it stop. Progress has been painful, but it has been remarkably quick.
Given all that, it's an easy thing to advocate caution. "Surely one side of this can't have a monopoly on truth. Surely all this emotion has to have a downside. Surely we need to make accommodations for those who are bewildered by the pace of change. Surely some of these complaints must have merit." Eh, maybe.
I've certainly seen some recommendations I disagree with and some factually wrong assertions made by people on "my side" in the last couple of years. The thing about them, though, is that they haven't been broadly taken up. There is a personal, emotional component to these arguments, but they are still happening in a community that values facts and research. If someone prominent enough makes such a recommendation or assertion, it gets argued over very publicly. If it's found to have no merit, it gets dropped (except by those people who keep bringing it up to demonize the group). If it happens in a comment, it may get ignored or challenged, depending. If it gets repeated in comments, it definitely gets challenged.
Honestly, it's a little bit funny, in a bang-your-head-on-the-wall way, to be told, "You may be wrong", at this point in the game as though it were a new idea. Where does Rosseau think all of this fighting is coming from if not people saying we're wrong that there are problems that need to be fixed? When does he think I or any of the rest of us don't get challenged on these topics? Of course we can be wrong. We're not allowed to forget that for a minute.
This is one of those arguments that is part truism and wholly useless in its lack of specifics. If I'm wrong about something, tell me what. If you do a better job of it than the Dunning-Kruger victim who tried to say I couldn't be cyberstalked because I'm a public figure, I'll probably even engage on the topic.
The real (largest) problem with Rosseau's piece is that it's talking to the wrong people. It's telling a group who is told constantly that they may be wrong that they may be wrong. In doing that, it makes itself superfluous. If it wants to sort out the problem of people of sincere motives being mistaken for trolls, it needs to take its arguments to someone else.
No, I don't mean Rosseau needs to address the trolls. They're pretty well beyond help at this point.
There is a (relatively rare) problem with naive people of good intent being mistaken for trolls in these discussions, and it needs to be addressed–by talking to those naive people of good intent. If Rosseau wants to address the friction between the crusaders and the educable bumblers-in, that's where he needs to turn his attention. He needs to say something more like this:
If you haven't been paying attention to what has been happening in the atheist and skeptical movements over the last couple of years with regard to inclusion, and if you aren't already familiar with these discussions from other walks of your life, you're going to find this a confusing place to be for a while. It's okay to be confused. It's even okay to ignore these discussions for a bit while you get your feet under you in the movement. There are plently of places talking about other things. Even among the places that focus on these issues, there are plenty of other things going on. Read those.
If and when you decide you want to know what's going on in the inclusion argument, understand that it is just that. This is an argument that has been going on for quite some time. And it is an argument, with lots of information presented and lots of assertions made and refuted over that time. Beyond that, there is a side argument going on about values, about whether inclusion is even something desirable, and you know how arguments about values get.
If you decide, more than just wanting to understand the argurment, that you want to join it, it may be helpful to think about this much like the long-running debate over evolution, complete with the side argument about faith versus fact. That's a hard thing to do, because unlike evolution, this is an argument about the daily lives of people. We have a tendency to think we understand human behavior, but that's our cognitive biases talking, our tendency to generalize to everyone from our own experiences. Succumbing to that bias here will get you in trouble, just as assuming you understood evolution because you spend time around plants and animals would get you in trouble in the middle of a debate between a creationist and someone who really understands evolution.
Just as with those debates, it's okay to sit back here and not air your naive "understanding" of what's going on. There are some very well educated people at work here. Watch. Listen. Learn. It's an opportunity you don't get every day. My biology education ended in junior high (I studied chemistry and physics), but I've learned so much reading biologists addressing creationist questions and debate points. You can do the same here.
At some point, you'll have a question. There's a good chance it's not a new question, and if you've been paying attention, you probably have a good idea where you can find an answer. Go look. Browse a little and further your education even more.
Or maybe you've already done that (smart person), but your question isn't one you've seen addressed. Then it comes time to ask. You're asking in the middle of an argument, so there are a few things to keep in mind.
- Here be trolls. By now, you've seen them. Don't act like them. Don't argue from ignorance. Don't act entitled to one-on-one instruction.
- These are busy people. Show them you've done your research. Tell them where you looked for answer to your question.
- Education you may not be the highest priority for everyone. When they point you to your answer, go read it. Take some time to think about it. If you still want clarification, ask whether anyone has time for a side conversation.
- If you don't receive the reception you want, place the blame where it belongs. That's usually on the trolls. If it's not, you're probably not in an educational forum. Ask where you can find one.
- Be polite. Say, "Please", and, "Thank you."
Imagine if every person who entered these arguments in good faith but without the education to argue effectively on the topic received and followed that advice. [Imagines. Enjoys. Weeps.] Why don't we have that expectation? Why do we allow naivety to dictate to expertise on this? Why do we act as though every venue must be educational, even when we claim we know better?
The simple answer to that is that the privileged (default) perspective and the naive perspective happen to line up on questions of inclusion. Rosseau argues that the majority sometimes gets things right despite their privilege. This is true, but this isn't one of those times.

Entrepreneurial Thought & Action®
Act, Learn, Build
As the No. 1 leader in entrepreneurship for 26 consecutive years, Babson is globally recognized for our one-of-a-kind Entrepreneurial Thought and Action® (ET&A™) methodology that teaches undergraduates, graduates, and executives to balance action, experimentation, and creativity with a deep understanding of business fundamentals and rigorous analysis as the ideal approach to creating economic and social value.
But what does that mean?
Using entrepreneurship as a way to look at the world, we can solve more than just business problems. ET&A™ is a methodology. You can apply it to innovating within a large corporation, raising a family, creating a charity, solving global social issues, or starting a business.
Start with the Means at Hand
Because you are empowered to take action, you can control the future. By starting with who you are, what you know, and whom you know, you can work with what you have to pursue your idea. But, you first have to stop worrying about what you want to accomplish and focus on what you want to do next.
Take the First Step
From one action, you'll get new data and information that you can use to guide further action and reassess and adjust your goal as necessary. And, then you'll take the next step. And, the next, and the next, until you've overcome obstacles, adapted to others, and accomplished your goal—though likely it's not the one with which you started.
Make a Difference
Above all, what you do matters and can make a difference. (ET&A™) is a method of social change that allows you to value purpose as much as profit. By understanding yourself in the context of social, economic, and environmental issues, you have the ability to balance prediction and creation to take action on issues that would ordinarily stump you.
Get Started
The good news is we don't believe entrepreneurial leaders are individuals who are born with this set of characteristics. You can learn to act and think entrepreneurially to create the future you want.
And, you can only learn it at Babson.

A Youngstown company, Iron Eagle Enterprises, will be opening a water recycling terminal by the end of November to serve oil and gas drillers operating in the area.
The facility, at 20 Church St. near the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway tracks, will be the first third-party treatment facility permitted in the state.
A Youngstown company, Iron Eagle Enterprises, will be opening a water recycling terminal by the end of November to serve oil and gas drillers operating in the area.
The facility, at 20 Church St. near the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway tracks, will be the first third-party treatment facility permitted in the state.
The treatment operations will be managed by RETTEW Flowback (RFI), an engineering firm with offices in Canton that also provided site design and facility permitting.
The facility will recycle wastewater created by oil and gas drilling operations in Carroll County. The wastewater will be treated first and filtered to remove contaminants. The recycled water will be hauled back to the producers to continue the cycle of drilling and stimulating wells (shale or conventional).
The facility will be able to treat 14,000 barrels of water per day. A barrel contains 42 gallons of water.
Mike McKenzie, director of operations for Iron Eagle, said his company is investing several million dollars in the project. Existing buildings at the site will be utilized, and equipment will be brought in to recycle the wastewater.
"Some of the equipment is new to the industry," he said. "It had to be built before it was shipped."
Most of the equipment will be shipped to Sherrodsville this week and next.
The plant will employ between 10 and 15 people, as well as truck drivers. Iron Eagle will have between 25 and 35 trucks operating in and out of the facility on a daily basis. "It will be pretty big once it gets off the ground," McKenzie said.
According to a press release from the company, trucks will haul in dirty waters and haul out clean water in 24 hours. As an added service, Iron Eagle plans to wash out tankers onsite with specialized equipment to prevent cross contamination of dirty trucks and clean water.
The recycling facility will process different types of water collected during the drilling process, the company said. Some can be flowback from the initial drilling and fracturing of a well. There also is brine collected from producing wells and rainwater or melted snow that collects at a drilling pad.
RFI has built its reputation by working with a variety of oil and gas industry companies to treat all types of water, and its expertise will help the facility run smoothly, the company said.
A major benefit of the recycling process is that it reduces concerns about safe treatment and disposal of wastewater from oil and gas drilling, the company said. The contaminants extracted from the recycled water will be transported safely to appropriate disposal sites.
The service saves money for the drilling companies by reducing the amount of fresh water they must purchase for hydraulic fracturing. Additionally, disposal fees don't have to be paid at injection wells, where the wastewater is injected deep into the earth, and water transportation costs are reduced because this is a load-in/load-out facility.
McKenzie said Iron Eagle is planning on opening by the end of November. The company has the necessary permits to begin construction. Once that is completed, officials from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources have to do a walk-through before a permit to begin operation can be given.
"With the government shutdown, it has slowed everything down a bit," he said, referring to the shutdown of the federal government in October.
Sherrodsville's proximity to natural gas wells in Carroll County was the main reason Iron Eagle chose to open its facility there. "Location is always the key," McKenzie said.
The existing structures at the site were enticing, he said, and the previous owner was retiring and willing to sell.
He added that Sherrodsville's mayor and council have been supportive of the project.
Iron Eagle will be hiring workers for the facility, McKenzie noted. "We're looking for help."

I'm already using few tips described here. From the article:
So I like vim a lot, and I've been using it on and off for a few years, but recently I've been using it full-time to code in Python. I learned a few things along the way and I made vim a better IDE for myself. Here's how.
You can follow along or go straight to author's .vimrc file. Place the .vimrc file in your home folder and enjoy the goodies.
The first step is to make sure you have the equivalent power of jedit, textpad, gedit and the like.
