DataPower FSH (FrontSide Handler) provide the Compression field.
From the InfoCenter:
11. Set Compression to enable or disable the negotiation of GZIP compression.
Important is the word "negotiation" here.
If you are using a browser to access a DataPower service, then your browser and DataPower do the negotiation for you.
Nothing needs to be done by you.
So what if using "curl" to access a DataPower service?
From "curl" manpage:
(HTTP) Request a compressed response using one of the algorithms
libcurl supports, and return the uncompressed document. If this
option is used and the server sends an unsupported encoding,
curl will report an error.
You can check whether "your curl" does support gzip compression by executing "curl -V".
If you find "libz" amount the "Features" then it can.
Again, "--compressed" does a negotiation, no guarantee that both sides (curl/DataPower) will agree on compression.
So how can you "see" whether compression was used?
Yes, a packet capture will allow you to see this.
But there is a simpler method, use "curl -v" (for "verbose" output).
If the HTTP response from DataPower contain "Content-Encoding: gzip" header entry, then response was returned compressed.
I just turned Compression on on coproc2 service FSH and did send ab.xml (123) with double.xsl stylesheet:
$ coproc2 double.xsl ab.xml http://dp1-l3:2223 -v --compressed ;echo

Homosexuality and psychological wholeness
Nicholas Little
Centre for Outcomes Research & Effectiveness University College London London firstname.lastname@example.com
Clarke, V, Ellis, S J, Peel, E & Riggs, D W (eds) (2010) Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer psychology. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0-521-70018-4 pbk. Pages xix + 328.
For 22 years, Ted Haggard was the charismatic pastor to a congregation of 10,000 at Colorado's New Life Church. For the better part of eight years, he was a weekly advisor to the administration of George W Bush and an advocate of legislation like the 2006 amendment outlawing gay marriage in Colorado. And for at least three years, Haggard was the regular patron of a male escort with whom he enjoyed smoking crystal meth and masturbating (but nothing more, he swears!) while watching a balanced mix of gay and straight porn.
Now, four years after being publicly outed (as a hypocrite at least, if not also as a homosexual), Ted Haggard claims that his experiences have left him feeling more whole psychologically (Roose, 2011). As his public life disintegrated around him, Haggard sought out professional assistance for the first time. "I was taught that I could pray through my issues instead of getting real help," he confessed in a feature interview with GQ magazine. The help sought out by Haggard was eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a controversial form of psychotherapy typically used for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. The counsellor, who traced Haggard's desire for other men to his being molested at the age of seven, must have been very good; psychological wholeness was attained after just three weeks of intervention.
After successfully mastering the ever-lengthening acronyms, the second greatest challenge in writing an introductory text to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans & queer (LGBTQ) psychology must be simply holding the reader's attention. Ted Haggards are ten a penny in 2011. Popular culture seems hell-bent on mapping out the history and contemporary debates in our personal and collective understandings of human sexuality on an almost daily basis. How does one objectively summarise the differences between essentialist and social constructionist theories of sexuality when Lady Gaga cuts short the nature versus nurture debate with a gay anthem that hit #1 in sixteen countries called "Born This Way"?
A surprise, then, at just what an engrossing read authors Victoria Clarke, Sonja J Ellis, Elizabeth Peel and Damien W Riggs have assembled for us. After introducing themselves as white, middle-class academics and apologising for not being trans, they divide the book into four sections. Section I defines LGBTQ psychology, traces the key perspectives within its history and reviews the range of methods used by psychologists in the field. Here, as throughout the text, the content is brought to life by excellent guest contributors, who describe the research they carry out, their choice of methodology and the barriers within academia they have met along the way. Section II explores social marginalization in queer people's lives through discussion of diversity, discrimination and health disparities. Disappointingly, given the rich debates and examples that could be included here, this is the least captivating part of the book. Section III looks at LGBTQ experiences across the lifespan and could easily be dipped into on an asneeded basis by lecturers or students. Topics covered include youth identity development and coming out, relationships and the quest for legal recognition of samesex partnerships, parenting, families and ageing.
The text concludes with a section on the future of LGBTQ psychology. In a "key researcher" contribution, Esther Rothblum claims that the earliest wave of LGBT psychology was "not so much science as science fiction" (p 244). Things have progressed considerably since then, however, and Rothblum identifies three priority areas for future LGBT research. First, language and identity, in recognition, for example, that men who have sex with men may not identify as gay and therefore slip under the radar of gay-targeted health messaging. Second, new research methods, emphasising the need for academic journals to include findings from studies that employ less conventional, more exploratory methodologies. Third, preparing for research within a post-homophobia and -transphobia age. This is a surprising and much welcome recommendation, however optimistic it may be. (Although when a video by platinum-selling singer Katy Perry [ whose first two singles were entitled "Ur So Gay" and "I Kissed a Girl"] includes images of two young men locking eyes and kissing in a crowd of their hetero peers and receives no less than 150 million unique views on Youtube, we can't be too far off ...)
To this list of future priorities, the authors add the need for psychological research to better reflect the diversity that exists within LGBT populations and for researchers to adopt a more international approach. It is in this recommendation, however, that the text's only significant weakness is most apparent: the lost opportunity to present readers new to LGBT psychology with frank discussion of compelling real-life examples.
After all, this text was published in the same year the Ugandan Parliament debated an anti-homosexuality bill that would impose five years imprisonment for "the promotion of homosexuality", life imprisonment for engaging in homosexual acts and the death penalty for HIV+ men who have sex with other men. Failure to report known violations within 24 hours including teachers reporting students would be punished with up to six months in prison (Carter, 2009). Mary Karoro Okurut, spokeswoman for the ruling party in parliament, said: "We have to protect the children in schools who are being recruited into homosexual activities" (Olukya, 2010). In early 2011, the bill was shelved -at least temporarily -due in part to the international pressure Uganda faced because of the bill. And while it is clearly safer for Uganda's gays and lesbians to be silenced by outsiders' social representations of sexuality than by those of their own parliamentary leaders and countrymen, they remain silenced nonetheless.
The same point was driven home in 2010 when, following a meeting with UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon, Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika pardoned a gay couple sentenced to 14 years in jail. It was astonishing enough to see the head of the UN intervening in a criminal case of individual citizens, let alone flying to the country to make a personal appeal on their behalf. Who would have imagined, even five years ago, that gay rights would be given attention of this sort? Yet the tension and incompatible worldviews that lie beneath could not be more clear in President wa Mutharika's comments following the pardon: "These boys committed a crime against our culture, our religion and our laws; however, as the head of state I hereby pardon them and therefore ask for their immediate release with no conditions. I have done this on humanitarian grounds, but this does not mean that I support this" (Banda, 2010).
Of course, making half-hearted changes you don't really believe in is a page straight out of the psychology handbook quite literally. Bayer (1987) recounts how, in 1973, the Board of Directors of the American Psychological Association voted to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). When the third edition of the DSM was published in 1980, homosexuality no longer appeared as a mental disorder. It was replaced, however, by a new diagnosis: egodystonic homosexuality, characterized by 1) ongoing lack of opposite-sex desires, and 2) ongoing same-sex desires, both of which must be experienced as unwanted by the patient.
Some criticized this newly created diagnosis for pandering to mental health professionals who persisted in seeing homosexuality as a pathology. Others argued that it was not one's homosexual orientation, but rather anti-homosexuality stigma that caused distress. They advocated for interventions that took aim at the wider society, not the homosexual individual.
By the time the revised DSM-III-R was published in 1987, ego-dystonic homosexuality had also been removed. As a mental disorder it had been constructed and deconstructed in a span of just seven years. And while nothing concretely changed in the psyches of gay people between pre-1980, when homosexuality was a mental disorder; 1980, when it could be a disorder; and 1987, when desiring someone of the same gender was considered a natural and healthy sexual orientation; the path from pathology to apithology (http://www.apithology.com/) undoubtedly made a contribution to the gradual ebb of anti-homosexuality stigma in some societies today.
Lest we over-estimate the speed of progress, in February 2010, a prominent London newspaper printed the experiences of a self described "happy, out gay man" who willingly submitted himself to conversion treatment in order to map its continued existence among accredited members of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (Strudwick, 2010). He found many therapists who were only too happy to cure him of his same-sex desire. One service user, who had undergone a full 17 years of conversion therapy, described his experiences as "psychological torture".
Lucky Ted Haggard endured a mere three weeks.

"Three strikes" may be controversial when applied to Internet disconnections for copyright infringement, but I suspect broad agreement could be had on applying the principle to the dreaded "car analogy." Draw three infelicitious and inaccurate parallels between an automobile and a copyright question, and you lose the right to publicly make analogies for a year.
The Honourable John Robertson, a UK Member of Parliament who takes the lead on many communications issues there, earned his first strike last week when speaking at a major DC tech policy conference (watch the panel here).
Defending the UK's new Digital Economy bill, which contemplates penalties (including disconnection) for Internet accounts linked repeatedly with copyright infringement, Robertson explained why musicians were so outraged by having their work "stolen."
"If I was to borrow your car without telling you and drive it about... you might be kind of upset," he said.
The comment followed a rhetorical question about how there would be little live music to see if people continued to download songs for free—an implication that, no matter how much copyright infringement concerns you, should seem more than a bit odd. (Live music has been earning record revenues over the last few years.)
And yet, when the wreckage of Robertson's statements was cleared away like a totaled car from an accident scene, he made two terrific points about "graduated response" laws that are instructive for the US.
Both concern the penalties for infringement. First, the UK would reserve the right to disconnect repeat offenders, though this is really viewed as a last resort and would not result in an "Internet exile"—when users are cut off, they don't go on any Internet blacklist.
In the US, such disconnections could cause problems. John Morris of the Center for Democracy & Technology and Matt Schruers of the CCIA both sat on the panel and pointed out that US households often have few viable choices for broadband. In rural areas, there may be only a single option. Internet cutoffs could make it difficult to reestablish service with another provider, though there's always the backup of laggy satellite.
This prompted a smile from Robertson, who used the chance to knock US telecom policy. In the UK, where the last-mile local loop is unbundled and open to all competitors on reasonable terms, DSL competition is widespread. Yes, it's a hassle to switch, but that's exactly the point; it's a hassle, not an exile.
Second, repeat infringers could face the possibility of fines. Schruers and Morris also complained bitterly about the amounts possible in US federal copyright cases, which can reach $150,000 per song, and they pointed out that a federal judge in Minnesota has just lowered the damage award in the first such case to go to trial precisely because of its disproportionality.
In their view, the issue is better served with lawsuits that target an individual infringer, not the Internet access of an entire household. Indeed, as voice and video move increasingly onto the Web, such a disconnection could cut a home off from e-mail, phone calls, and TV.
Shira Perlmutter of global music trade group IFPI was aghast—the RIAA's widespread lawsuit campaign here in the US attracted vociferous criticism, and she rightly pointed that out. Don't critics want it both ways, bashing lawsuits and then calling for them?
But Schruers argued that lawsuits are in fact fine, so long as they result in reasonable damage awards. $1.92 million awards for sharing music can't possibly meet that standard.
Again, Robertson talked up the UK approach. Fines for Internet copyright infringement would remain small—about £1,500 (roughly $2,400).
Keep it secret
The focus on US policy was odd because legislative solutions to the issue aren't being proposed. ISPs can currently disconnect users on a voluntary basis, but none do so on a massive scale. That doesn't mean the issue isn't a live one, though, just that copyright holders are trying to break into the ISP automobile through the rear window instead of the front door.
Discussions on Internet disconnections are certainly taking place behind a cloak of near-total secrecy with the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. ACTA is billed as an executive agreement, not a trade treaty, and as such will not need Congressional approval.
The RIAA and MPAA are moving outside the legislative system by going to the FCC as well, using the current net neutrality proceeding to ask that the FCC not just explicitly allow but actively "encourage" ISPs to start cooperating.
Given that the RIAA appears to have failed in its 14-month bid to sign up ISPs to its proposed "graduated response" program (none have publicly signed on), the industry has certainly not abandoned the idea. It wants government help, just not the kind that relies on legislative branch action where the noisy public might insert itself with more vehemence.
Common ground?
Unless you believe that copyright should be abolished, or that unauthorized P2P use should simply be legalized, the graduated response process makes some sense. It 1) does not expose user information to rightsholders, 2) does not ask ISPs to spy on their own users, and 3) avoids federal lawsuits. And if done correctly, it does impose penalties for mere allegations.
IFPI publicly supports the right for users to challenge their accusations before any penalty is imposed, but it rejects the idea that simply using toothless notices will have much effect. Some "bad thing" is needed at the end of the process. It certainly seems as though some compromise could be worked out if the industry were willing to drop its insistence on disconnection and would work for a Congressional change to copyright penalties. If a graduated response process ended with the option of a real judicial hearing and a maximum $2,500 total fine (but no disconnection), how many people would still object?
Years of support for maximal copyright penalties have in some ways boxed the copyright industries in, and we've seen little apparent willingness to craft smaller, more realistic penalties that don't send federal judge and Internet users into a rage. Such lesser punishments, while they seem to weaken copyright, might in fact strengthen it immeasurably.

Queenstown's beaut holiday park is full of surprises
There something interesting around every corner at this fine holiday park. Just wait until you see the toilets...
1 / 7
Any travel writer waxing lyrical about toilets can only be writing about one of a handful of laudable loos.
The public toilets at the Sydney Opera House, perhaps ('nearly as beautiful as the building itself'); those of Taiwan's Chung Yo department store ('drinks are brought to you while you relieve yourself'); Dolce & Gabana's Gold store in Milan ('follow in the hot bots of Kylie Minogue and Paris Hilton'); and 'the king of all public conveniences' – New Zealand's very own Hundertwasser toilets in Kawakawa.
Never to be outdone, Queenstown has come up trumps with its own flash flushers: the brand new toilet block at Queenstown Top 10 Holiday Park Creeksyde.
These lavatorial works of art are located in an architecturally designed 'Oast House, ' built with timbers salvaged from the historic Buckham's Brewery.
The finished building looks markedly different from the original architect's plan, which comes as no surprise when the project manager is none other than the park's co-owner, Tonnie 'Professor Brainstorm' Spijkerbosch.
A craftsman plumber and supreme do-it-yourselfer, Tonnie is responsible for many of the holiday park's curiosities, such as 'The Tapas Barbecue' pavilion complete with faucet fence, polished concrete bench, tractor seats and flax-thatched roof.
Erna Spijkerbosch is camp mother, not just at Creeksyde but to holiday parks nationwide. An industry stalwart, she was a co-founder of the Kiwi Camps group in 1990 (now Kiwi Holiday Parks), and former president of the Holiday Parks Association.
At the 2011 industry awards Erna was recognised for 'outstanding service to the holiday park industry'. The park was finalist in the 'spirit of hospitality award', while recent improvements – including the new Oast House toilet blocks – earned them the Resco Best Upgrade Award.
There can't be much room left in the trophy cabinet.
Erna and Tonnie were early champions of the green principles that have become de rigueur for much of the holiday parks sector.
In 2003 Creeksyde became the first holiday park in the world to be benchmarked by Green Globe, and in 2004 they also became the first to receive their certification.
Today they hold 'Gold' status with both Green Globe and with the international EarthCheck programme, the largest environmental assessment system used by the travel and tourism industry.
This commitment to sustainability is evident all round the park, but no less significantly in Erna's 'environmental cleaning' regime which employs plenty of baking soda and vinegar, and lashings of good-old elbow grease.
This isn't the only way Creeksyde adheres to the code of reduce, reuse, recycle. The incorporation of the old brewery timbers into the new Oast House is another.
So is the collection of historic, often quirky treasures sprinkled throughout the park, such as the Temuka pottery mugs in the motel units and the display of wooden cogs in B Block's kitchen.
Erna and Tonnie are regulars on TradeMe and at farm clearing sales. They are judicious collectors with a keen eye for oddities and the often beautiful remnants of an era when manmade meant handmade, not pressed out by a cookie cutter with an automaton on the lever.
The holiday park was a retirement project that morphed into a whole new way of life. Erna and Tonnie built it up from scratch, opening in 1987 when the tourist campervan market was evolving rapidly.
Accordingly, the holiday park has grown 'organically' over the last quarter-century, and today it covers 3.5 green acres in an urban but still quiet corner of Queenstown, sandwiched between the round, green hills of Ben Lomond Scenic Reserve and Queenstown Recreation Reserve.
It's just five minutes walk from the town centre.
The Oast House toilet block was official launched at a pun-filled ceremony on 26 May 2011. The Wizard of New Zealand officiated with wonderful overstatement when he declared the toilets 'an example of making the world a better place'.
In a particularly heart-warming moment, honorary guests Peter and Dorothy Inglis – regular visitors to Creeksyde over the last 23 years – were invited to be the first official patrons through the doors.
Standing sentry at the entrance are 'Jack & Jane', a pair of grotesques named after fondly regarded visitors from England.
There's more than a bit of 'Narnia wardrobe' going on once you step inside, with myriad scenes behind every door. Both the mens' 'pub with no beer' and ladies' 'day spa' are lined with vinyl-printed photographs of the region and its attractions.
A half-naked man Ziptrek's through the shower, while sitting on the loo you could be in the driving seat on a 4WD adventure, or kept company by a flock of paragliders.

Sam Ekstrom – Staff Writer
Kara Van Dyke grew up watching basketball.
All three of her older siblings played, so it was only naturally for the youngest Van Dyke to follow suit.
Now with only a handful of games left in her collegiate career, the Leota, Minn., native is poised to graduate with her name strewn throughout the Dordt College record book.
Van Dyke will conclude her career as a top-10 all-time scorer and a top-five all-time rebounder.
"Right now I don't think about it a whole lot," said Van Dyke. "I'm just playing the games. Down the road it might hit me more."
Van Dyke has kept a humble attitude despite her tremendous success at every level. Before her outstanding Dordt career, she set a school record with 1,428 points at Southwest Christian High School.
However, her college decision was not based on basketball.
"Dordt was a better fit for my education," said Van Dyke, a double major in sports management and business.
Choosing Dordt did have a basketball perk as well. She got to continue playing with her Southwest Christian teammate Kayla Broekhuis, currently a senior.
"I know how she likes to catch the ball, and she knows where I like to get the ball on the court," said Van Dyke. "After playing with each other for eight years, you get to know that stuff."
"We are pretty close," said Broekhuis. "Both on and off the court you can almost always find us joking around together and giving each other a hard time with our sarcastic nature."
Possibly the most rewarding aspect of Van Dyke's career has been growing close to her other teammates, namely the five other seniors: Jaimie Kok, Danelle Boone, Elise Maresh, Jessica Jelsema and, of course, Broekhuis.
"We're always together, so I think that's good for chemistry," said Van Dyke. "We just have a really good time out there."
Head coach Craig Stiemsma has enjoyed watching them grow together over the years.
"They really enjoy all aspects of team: playing together, encouraging off the floor, having fun and just being there for each other as Christian teammates is special," said Stiemsma. "They are great examples of what it means to be a great teammate."
Surrounded by a strong group of teammates, Van Dyke's scoring average has improved each season, as have many other aspects of her game. One quality she's grown in is her leadership.
"Just being an example for them and working hard," said Van Dyke. "The people above me always worked hard, so I continue to work hard every day in practice then."
The hard work has paid off. Van Dyke is primed to score around 1,300 points and secure close to 800 rebounds.
But it's the team camaraderie she'll miss the most when it's all over.
"Spending time with the team is going to be one part I miss," said Van Dyke. "Even the roadtrips; we made so many memories from them."

Uncertain future for 160 Silcar employees
- 11 December, 2012 10:04
Silcar, which has won several multi-million contracts for the National Broadband Network (NBN), will potentially lay off 160 staff in January next year.
The company made the announcement yesterday following a decision by Bluescope Steel that it would not renew a maintenance services agreement for its Western Port site when the contract expires 26 January.
"Bluescope's decision to not renew this agreement means Silcar may lose the services of 160 loyal and valued staff. With the expiry of this agreement, Silcar will cease operations at Bluescope Hastings on 26 January, 2013, following nine years of service," Silcar said in a statement.
Silcar said it was working with its employees and unions to find alternative employment for staff.
Silcar is a 50/50 joint venture between Siemens and Thiess Services. The company was awarded a contract in September this year worth up to $78 million to install NBN equipment in Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
It was also awarded a $380 million contract in June 2011 to construct and deliver a passive fibre network covering New South Wales, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory.
Dan Birmingham, project director of the Silcar/Thiess Services joint venture, recently told an NBN forum that over the next three years, the company will be responsible for delivering 25,000km of fibre for the NBN.
Birmingham noted a challenge for the company was filling staffing requirements.
"If we were to rely on [the] existing sub-contractor base within Silcar Comms or their resources, I don't think we'd handle the volume, so we need to start to look at different areas where we can build this capability," he said.
"The first one is obviously from the sub-contractor market. It is very important to support those lower tier sub-contractors in the market to bring them with us on the journey."
Birmingham also said Silcar would look to its parent companies to help fill resource requirements.
"We are building capacity, not just relying on existing capacity in the market, but building it," he said.
Silcar will eventually need to pass 150 houses an hour at the peak of the rollout, with "full speed … just over the horizon".
Silcar was not available for comment.

Binoche, who turns 48 today, is probably most famous in the US for her role in Chocolat. I found that movie kind of treacly, but check out Binoche in this scene from Certified Copy, a trippy 2010 film where a man and a woman meet and pretend to be a crabby long-married couple, whereupon they start fighting for real. Rent it — Binoche comes off as sort of unhinged, and then you end up rooting for the couple like they were actually married. Also: she is so fucking pretty.
Oh and also: have a great weekend!

A lot of you might know that I'm from Massachusetts, so you can probably understand that I've been glued to the television recently. The bombing at the marathon and the subsequent shootout and manhunt were hard to avoid, even in Florida. They were everywhere. Watching the news teams across half a dozen networks cross-checking with one another, getting things wrong, exaggerating, recanting, apologizing, re-reporting–it was nerve wracking.
Waiting on Monday for the phone calls, text messages, and Facebook updates from people that I cared about was agonizing. But you know what? It didn't get easier when I had everyone safe and accounted for. The people that were affected telling their stories, sharing their fear, and, most of all, helping each other, only made it more important that I stay updated.
When the thousands of photos and video clips flooded the FBI, when people responded and pitched in, and went above and beyond what was called for, I wanted to know more. I wanted to help.
I'm nowhere near Boston. I should be, but I'm not. It's impossible not to feel helpless when you're 1500 miles away from the place and people you love in a time like this. What could I do? I posted links to the Red Cross on Facebook and urged people to help.
They didn't need the urging. Seriously, I'm sure you've all seen the reports of people doing everything they could for each other, opening their homes to victims and police officers, feeding and hydrating law enforcement during the manhunt. It was amazing to me what people will do if given the chance. Being able to see the good in people in the face of such horror tends to lap at the cynicism in me just a little.
Now, for those of you who don't think there's much left to do, that everything is wrapped up and over, you're wrong. Those people injured and killed at the marathon are going to have incredible hospital bills, living expenses, and the like. There's this charity on InktothePeople.com and there's one day left to order a "Boston Strong" t-shirt, $15 of the $20 goes to the victims of the marathon bombing. Ready?
G&L's three-year anniversary is on Tuesday, and I'm going to ask something of you. If you've ever enjoyed Goggles & Lace, if you still read in spite of my sparse updates, or if you just feel like offering up a random act of charity, order a "Boston Strong" t-shirt. I would be really moved if any of you ordered one of these t-shirts, a fantastic anniversary gift to G&L.
Be awesome, and pass the link along to others! There's one day left! I already ordered two, one for myself and one for my mother. I'm excited to be able to wear it around Jacksonville. Take a lesson from Boston, everyone; it's only $20.
Thank you all!

On the Level: Strategic Workforce Planning from Micro to Macro
- Authors:
Publication Date:
December 2011
Strategic workforce planning (SWP) is the process that ensures companies have the right people at the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost to execute their business strategy. Beyond this enterprise-level approach to SWP, however, there are circumstances when it pays to plan at a micro level, focusing on smaller segments of a workforce, or to take a macro approach that reaches beyond the organization and into its operating environment. This report describes how SWP can be deployed at different levels, and discusses the advantages and limitations of doing so, with examples and specific diagnostic questions for determining a company's optimum SWP deployment level.

Harbourfront Centre's World Stage Cancels OTHELLO, C'EST QUI with Lead Actor Grounded in Ivory Coast
Harbourfront Centre is disappointed to announce the cancellation of the much anticipated World Stage 2013 season opener Othello, c'est qui, scheduled to run Feb. 6-9.
After exhausting all avenues of appeal, lead actor Franck Edmond Yao remains grounded in Abidjan, Ivory Coast as his travel documents were not expedited in time for the production's opening.
World Stage Artistic Director Tina Rasmussen comments: "This is especially heartbreaking for me because this work was uniquely situated in Black History month along with other Othello works in the city. The themes and ideas around Othello, c'est qui were urgent and timely. My team and I are doing all that we can to ensure that this performance is eventually restaged in Toronto."
For over 27 years, Harbourfront Centre's World Stage has welcomed artists, companies, and productions from over 40 countries around the world. With its rich history of importing international contemporary performance, this unfortunate event is a rare occurrence and Harbourfront Centre extends its deepest apologies to patrons.
All ticket purchasers are advised to call the box office. Looking forward, there are still 10 visionary productions featured in the season, starting with Brazilian dance heavyweights Grupo Corpo Feb. 19-23.
Harbourfront Centre is a Canadian charity operating the 10 prime acres of Toronto's central waterfront as a free and open public site. We celebrate the multiplicities of cultures that comprise Canada and enliven the city through the creative imaginations of artists from across the country and around the globe. Harbourfront Centre attracts more than 17 million visits to its site each year to experience 4,000 diverse public events and activities. Harbourfront Centre receives operational support from the Government of Canada and the City of Toronto and program funding from all levels of government, the private sector and individual donors.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 | Pictures
Marc Jacobs Spring 2013
Marc Jacobs Spring 2013
Here's what we learned in five minutes at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 runway show: it will be the season to show your underthings; who needs pants when you're rocking an awesome tee; and the '60s live on, albeit with Jacobs's quirky edge. And yes, five minutes was exactly how long it took for all 45 looks to march out from a lacquered wall with panels that swung open to become mirrors. With all the Mad Hatter opulence of Jacobs's Fall '12 collection, Spring felt pared back and free, right down to the show notes that had the most minimal descriptions I've ever seen: "LOOK 1: T-SHIRT, SHORT." Big, bold stripes dominated the show, and were brilliantly highlighted in a sequined jumpsuit that will absolutely be in high demand for Spring editorials next season. While it was an ode to the '60s, there was nothing sentimental about the collection; it felt modern and even a little tough, but that may have been the models marching down the triangular runway with hands stiffly by their sides. And while on the subject of modernity, nothing felt more fresh than Jacobs's take on a ladylike skirtsuit, with jackets cropped to reveal midriffs (note: start Pilates stat) and skirts that hung on the lowest part of the hips. Some skirts were paired with sheer tops that revealed bras done by OnGossamer, further cementing the lingerie trend for next season.
- Trends: '60s, stripes, lingerie, jumpsuits, sequins, t-shirts.
- Colors: Black and white, beige, red.
- Key Piece: A striped jumpsuit made of sequins, the cool low-slung skirts with cropped jackets.
- Accessories: Pointy flats, some with the signature stripe.
- Who Should Wear It: Those skirtsuits belong on rebellious ladies at an indie movie premiere, and we're thinking Kirsten Dunst, of course, but wouldn't Kristen Stewart be cool?! Emma Watson would be great for this, too.

This post is long past due, I know. This past summer I went to the Northern Michigan Lamb and Wool Fiber Fest and took their sheep shearing class (which is fabulous btw). While I was there I met the owners of the Great Lakes Pygoras and was able to come home with a lovely raw fleece. Processing it seemed a bit daunting as it had to be dehaired but I found it relatively easy.
First I washed it with a couple of drops of Dawn and rinsed it. Once was enough as it wasn't very dirty and of course did have much lanolin (if any? I really don't think goats have lanolin.)
Then sent the fiber through the spin cycle in my washing machine
And finally set it to dry in the window
Now the dehairing part........all it took was a set of mini combs!
Sorry about the bad picture but you get the idea. Load your comb with the dry fleece then turn your other comb so that it is at a right angle to the first (the combs should criss cross if that makes sense) Be careful with these babies though, I have stabbed myself several times! The long fiber will be transferred to the second comb, leaving the short hairs on the first. Just toss these in the garbage. I found that 4 passes got most of the hair. There is a lot of hair in there but don't be tempted to comb less in the hopes to save some fiber as the hairs will continue to come out after it's spun and knitted. I comb until I have most of the hair removed and then spin directly off the comb. What is left is wonderful! I plan on plying this with Cormo. It should make a beautiful soft hat for that special someone- me! (yep, I really am that selfish!)

Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination to lead CIA
Efforts by Senate Democrats to win a speedy confirmation of John Brennan as CIA director have run into a snag. Republican Sen. Rand Paul has begun what he calls a filibuster of Brennan's nomination. (March 6) AP
WASHINGTON — John Brennan's nomination to lead the CIA was delayed Wednesday by a filibuster led by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., about concerns about the legality of drone strikes against U.S. citizens.
"I'm going to speak as long as I can to draw attention to something I find very disturbing," said Paul, who started speaking around 11:45 a.m.
What started in the morning as a solo effort turned into a multi-senator debate that included one Democrat, Ron Wyden of Oregon, and at least seven Republicans questioning the constitutionality of drone strikes on U.S. citizens at home and abroad.
MORE: 5 longest filibusters in Senate history
"No American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found guilty of a crime by a court," Paul said. "How can you kill someone without going to a judge, or a jury?"
The federal government has not conducted such operations and doesn't plan to, Attorney General Eric Holder told Paul in a March 4 letter. But, Holder added, it was possible President Obama could be forced by an "extraordinary circumstance" to kill citizens inside the United States, and he cited the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks as examples.
During his filibuster, Paul said the fuzziness of such language created a slippery slope that could lead to the targeting of citizens who merely have different opinions about policies than the president.
"You can't be judge, jury and executioner all in one," Paul said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., took the floor around 4:30 p.m. to say any vote to end debate on Brennan's nomination or to approve him as CIA director would happen Thursday.
Paul said during his filibuster that his opposition was not about Brennan himself, but the constitutional issues involved. "We really just want [Obama] to say he won't" attack noncombatants on U.S. soil.
Democrats who lead the Senate could move Brennan's nomination to a vote, Paul said, if they would introduce a resolution saying they would not advocate the killing of noncombatants with drone strikes.
Wyden, a longtime critic of excessive government intelligence and surveillance programs, said "the senator from Kentucky has made a number of important points."
There are times, Wyden said, when a U.S. citizen who takes up arms against the United States while overseas can be attacked by a drone. But the executive branch of government, he said, should not be allowed to "conduct such a far-reaching policy without scrutiny."
It's not a partisan issue, Paul said, noting that he voted to support the nominations of John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, the secretaries of State and Defense.
Paul and other senators had delayed a full Senate vote on Brennan's nomination until they received more information about the drone program. The White House provided Justice Department documents on the drone program to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.
MORE: Senate intelligence panel approves Brennan to head CIA
The committee then voted 12-3 to approve Brennan's nomination.
Brennan, the White House's top counterterrorism adviser, was closely linked to the drone program. The administration has used the unmanned aircraft to regularly target suspected terrorists in the Middle East and Africa.
In 2011, U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was killed by a drone strike in Yemen, raising questions about the use of the armed drones on American citizens.
Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina had used Brennan's nomination to air concerns about the administration's handling of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.
McCain and Graham said they would oppose Brennan unless they got classified documents detailing the administration's actions immediately following the attack, the Associated Press reported.
The White House has said it provided more documents to lawmakers about that attack.
Before coming to the White House, Brennan served 25 years in the CIA.

Brunette With Hot Ass Fucks Two Dicks
Duration: 25m, 12s, Starring Gia, Brandon Iron, Brian Pumper
Gia is one horny chick, with a very hot ass. She takes off her thong and bends over to show her tight pink and her perfect ass. Brian Pumper and Brandon Iron soon join this half naked brunette. One starts licking her asshole while the other shoves his dick in her mouth. With both their cocks out, she takes turns on both, sucking each hard dick. Soon she jumps on top of one dick but then switches to a massive black dick that will stretch her wet twat even bigger. He takes her from behind so he can stare at her booty as he fucks the shit out of her wet cunt.
Horny Foreign Babes Fucked In The Ass
Duration: 32m, 31s, Starring Flick Shagwell, Judy Star, Brian Pumper, Mark Wood
Two pretty babes with gorgeous asses are getting geared up because they're about to be fucked hard and deep by two guys who are fans of chicks who know how to work those bootys! Flick Shagwell and Judy Star get right to work after stripping naked, as they grab a hold of their cocks and start stuffing their mouths and throats full of them! As soon as they're hard, they get on top of them and start riding them, moaning loudly as every inch penetrates them. They love it rough, especially when it's in their ass! They lick their dicks again before feeling it in their butts, and when they get mouthfuls of cum, they start swapping it right away!
Horny Czech Chick Gets Double Stuffed
Duration: 30m, 50s, Starring Daniella Rush, Darren James, Mark Ashley
Daniella Rush shows that it's not only black chicks who have big, juicy asses. She's a skinny babe with a real nice butt, and she's going to use it to turn on these two guys when they come in to fuck the hell out of her! They feed her both of their dicks, as she takes a hold of one and stuffs it in her throat, while her pussy is getting licked. They start drilling her right away, fucking her tight pussy when she's laying down, and then she gets on top to ride one, and then gets bent over. She starts getting fucked in the ass, and then gets one in her pussy to complete the double penetration. She couldn't wait for all of their cum!
Apple Bottom Babe in Interracial 3some
Duration: 23m, 43s, Starring Hope Rising, Brandon Iron, Darren James
Hope Rising starts off by showing just how hot her ass is by shoving it right in front of the camera and working it. She really does know how to work that shit perfectly, letting her thong in between her cheeks. She doesn't just do that shit to tease though - she ends up between Darren James and Brandon Iron, working her pussy against that big black dick and her mouth working the second. She really loves having her holes filled up like that, and her pussy is gushing with juices by the end of the scene.
Mark and Mark are not intimidated by Lea's beauty
Duration: 25m, 19s, Starring Lea De Mae, Mark Ashley, Mark Davis
Lea De Mae is a pig-tail cutie with nice full lips and a fantastic set of all natural tits. You might think those qualities would cause men to be intimidated by her beauty... but that isn't true of Mark Davis and Mark Ashley! This version of the Marx Brothers can't wait to climb aboard their new ride and hammer out her holes of a while. To them she is just another blonde cum-target in need of a thick sperm glaze!
