virtual - Postfix virtual alias table formatSYNOPSIS
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual postmap -q "string" /etc/postfix/virtual postmap -q - /etc/postfix/virtual <inputfile
The optional virtual(5) alias table rewrites recipient addresses for all local, all virtual, and all remote mail destinations. This is unlike the aliases(5) table which is used only for local(8) delivery. Virtual aliasing is recursive, and is implemented by the Postfix cleanup(8) daemon before mail is queued.The main applications of virtual aliasing are:
- *
- To redirect mail for one address to one or more addresses.
- *
- To implement virtual alias domains where all addresses are aliased to addresses in other domains.
Virtual alias domains are not to be confused with the virtual mailbox domains that are implemented with the Postfix virtual(8) mail delivery agent. With virtual mailbox domains, each recipient address can have its own mailbox.
Virtual aliasing is applied only to recipient envelope addresses, and does not affect message headers. Use canonical(5) mapping to rewrite header and envelope addresses in general.
Normally, the virtual(5) alias table is specified as a text file that serves as input to the postmap(1) command. The result, an indexed file in dbm or db format, is used for fast searching by the mail system. Execute the command "postmap /etc/postfix/virtual" to rebuild an indexed file after changing the corresponding text file.
When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular-expression map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups can be directed to TCP-based server. In those case, the lookups are done in a slightly different way as described below under "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP-BASED TABLES".
The search string is folded to lowercase before database lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
The input format for the postmap(1) command is as follows:
- pattern result
- When pattern matches a mail address, replace it by the corresponding result.
- blank lines and comments
- Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
- multi-line text
- A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, patterns are tried in the order as listed below:
- user@domain address, address, ...
- Redirect mail for user@domain to address. This form has the highest precedence.
- user address, address, ...
- Redirect mail for user@site to address when site is equal to $myorigin, when site is listed in $mydestination, or when it is listed in $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.
This functionality overlaps with functionality of the local aliases(5) database. The difference is that virtual(5) mapping can be applied to non-local addresses.
- @domain address, address, ...
- Redirect mail for other users in domain to address. This form has the lowest precedence.
Note: @domain is a wild-card. With this form, the Postfix SMTP server accepts mail for any recipient in domain, regardless of whether that recipient exists. This may turn your mail system into a backscatter source: Postfix first accepts mail for non-existent recipients and then tries to return that mail as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender address.
The lookup result is subject to address rewriting:
- *
- When the result has the form @otherdomain, the result becomes the same user in otherdomain. This works only for the first address in a multi-address lookup result.
- *
- When "append_at_myorigin=yes", append "@$myorigin" to addresses without "@domain".
- *
- When "append_dot_mydomain=yes", append ".$mydomain" to addresses without ".domain".
When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter (e.g., user+foo@domain), the lookup order becomes: user+foo@domain, user@domain, user+foo, user, and @domain.
The propagate_unmatched_extensions parameter controls whether an unmatched address extension (+foo) is propagated to the result of table lookup.
Besides virtual aliases, the virtual alias table can also be used to implement virtual alias domains. With a virtual alias domain, all recipient addresses are aliased to addresses in other domains.
Virtual alias domains are not to be confused with the virtual mailbox domains that are implemented with the Postfix virtual(8) mail delivery agent. With virtual mailbox domains, each recipient address can have its own mailbox.
With a virtual alias domain, the virtual domain has its own user name space. Local (i.e. non-virtual) usernames are not visible in a virtual alias domain. In particular, local aliases(5) and local mailing lists are not visible as email@example.com.
Support for a virtual alias domain looks like:
/etc/postfix/main.cf: virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
Note: some systems use dbm databases instead of hash. See the output from "postconf -m" for available database types.
/etc/postfix/virtual: virtual-alias.domain anything (right-hand content does not matter) email@example.com postmaster email@example.com address1 firstname.lastname@example.com address2, address3
The virtual-alias.domain anything entry is required for a virtual alias domain. Without this entry, mail is rejected with "relay access denied", or bounces with "mail loops back to myself".
Do not specify virtual alias domain names in the main.cf mydestination or relay_domains configuration parameters.
With a virtual alias domain, the Postfix SMTP server accepts mail for email@example.com, and rejects mail for firstname.lastname@example.com as undeliverable.
Instead of specifying the virtual alias domain name via the virtual_alias_maps table, you may also specify it via the main.cf virtual_alias_domains configuration parameter. This latter parameter uses the same syntax as the main.cf mydestination configuration parameter.
This section describes how the table lookups change when the table is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of regular expression lookup table syntax, see regexp_table(5) or pcre_table(5).
Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire address being looked up. Thus, user@domain mail addresses are not broken up into their user and @domain constituent parts, nor is user+foo broken up into user and foo.
Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a pattern is found that matches the search string.
Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from the pattern can be interpolated as $1, $2 and so on.
This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups are directed to a TCP-based server. For a description of the TCP client/server lookup protocol, see tcp_table(5). This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
Each lookup operation uses the entire address once. Thus, user@domain mail addresses are not broken up into their user and @domain constituent parts, nor is user+foo broken up into user and foo.
Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.
The table format does not understand quoting conventions.CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
The following main.cf parameters are especially relevant to this topic. See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax details and for default values. Use the "postfix reload" command after a configuration change.
- virtual_alias_maps
- List of virtual aliasing tables.
- virtual_alias_domains
- List of virtual alias domains. This uses the same syntax as the mydestination parameter.
- propagate_unmatched_extensions
- A list of address rewriting or forwarding mechanisms that propagate an address extension from the original address to the result. Specify zero or more of canonical, virtual, alias, forward, include, or generic.
Other parameters of interest:
- inet_interfaces
- The network interface addresses that this system receives mail on. You need to stop and start Postfix when this parameter changes.
- mydestination
- List of domains that this mail system considers local.
- myorigin
- The domain that is appended to any address that does not have a domain.
- owner_request_special
- Give special treatment to owner-xxx and xxx-request addresses.
- proxy_interfaces
- Other interfaces that this machine receives mail on by way of a proxy agent or network address translator.

Agile Project Management: Adapting over Conforming
Traditional managers view the plan as the goal, whereas agile leaders view customer value as the goal. If you doubt the former, just look at the definition of "success" from the Standish Group, who has published success (and failure) rates of software projects over a long period of time. Success, per the Standish Group is "the project is completed on time and on budget, with all the features and functions originally specified."1 This is not a value-based definition but a constraint-based one. Using this definition, then, managers focus on following the plan with minimal changes. Colleague Rob Austin would classify this as a dysfunctional measurement (Austin 1996)—one that leads to the opposite behavior of what was intended.
When customer value and quality are the goals, then a plan becomes a means to achieve those goals, not the goal itself. The constraints embedded in those plans are still important; they still guide the project; we still want to understand variations from the plans, but—and this is a big but—plans are not sacrosanct; they are meant to be flexible; they are meant to be guides, not straightjackets.
Both traditional and agile leaders plan, and both spend a fair amount of time planning. But they view plans in radically different ways. They both believe in plans as baselines, but traditional managers are constantly trying to "correct" actual results to that baseline. In the PMBOK2, for example, the relevant activity is described as "corrective action" to guide the team back to the plan. In agile project management, we use "adaptive action" to describe which course of action to take (and one of those actions may be to correct to the plan).
The agile principles documents—the Agile Manifesto and the Declaration of Interdependence—contain five principle statements about adaptation, as shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 Adaptive Principle Statements
Adaptive Principle Statements |
We expect uncertainty and manage for it through iterations, anticipation, and adaptation. |
We improve effectiveness and reliability through situationally specific strategies, processes, and practices. |
Responding to change over following a plan. |
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. |
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly |
DOI=Declaration of Interdependence. AM=Agile Manifesto |
These principles could be summarized as follows:
- We expect change (uncertainty) and respond accordingly rather than follow outdated plans.
- We adapt our processes and practices as necessary.
The ability to respond to change drives competitive advantage. Think of the possibilities (not the problems) of being able to release a new version of a product weekly. Think of the competitive advantage of being able to package features so customers feel they have software specifically customized for them (and the cost to maintain the software remains low).
Teams must adapt, but they can't lose track of the ultimate goals of the project. Teams should constantly evaluate progress, whether adapting or anticipating, by asking these four questions:
- Is value, in the form of a releasable product, being delivered?
- Is the quality goal of building a reliable, adaptable product being met?
- Is the project progressing satisfactorily within acceptable constraints?
- Is the team adapting effectively to changes imposed by management, customers, or technology?
The dictionary defines change as: "To cause to be different, to give a completely different form or appearance to." It defines adapt as: "To make suitable to or fit for a specific use or situation." Changing and adapting are not the same and the difference between them is important. There is no goal inherent in change—as the quip says, "stuff happens." Adaptation, on the other hand, is directed towards a goal (suitability). Change is mindless; adaptation is mindful.
The Science of Adaptation
Former Visa International CEO Dee Hock (1999) coined the word "chaordic" to describe both the world around us and his approach to managing a far-flung enterprise—balanced on the precipice between chaos and order. Our sense of the world dictates management style. If the world is perceived as static, then production-style management practices will dominate. If the world is perceived as dynamic, however, then exploration-style management practices will come to the fore. Of course, it's not that simple—there is always a blend of static and dynamic, which means that managers must always perform a delicate balancing act.
In the last two decades a vanguard of scientists and managers have articulated a profound shift in their view about how organisms and organizations evolve, respond to change, and manage their growth. Scientists' findings about the tipping points of chemical reactions and the "swarm" behavior of ants have given organizational researchers insights into what makes successful companies and successful managers. Practitioners have studied how innovative groups work most effectively.
As quantum physics changed our notions of predictability and Darwin changed our perspective on evolution, complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory has reshaped scientific and management thinking. In an era of rapid change, we need better ways of making sense of the world around us. Just as biologists now study ecosystems as well as species, executives and managers need to understand the global economic and political ecosystems in which their companies compete.
"A complex adaptive system, be it biologic or economic below, is an ensemble of independent agents
- Who interact to create an ecosystem
- Whose interaction is defined by the exchange of information
- Whose individual actions are based on some system of internal rules
- Who self-organize in nonlinear ways to produce emergent results
- Who exhibit characteristics of both order and chaos
- Who evolve over time" (Highsmith 2000).
For an agile project, the ensemble includes core team members, customers, suppliers, executives, and other participants who interact with each other in various ways. It is these interactions, and the tacit and explicit information exchanges that occur within them, that project management practices need to facilitate.
The individual agent's actions are driven by a set of internal rules—the core ideology and values of APM, for example. Both scientific and management researchers have shown that a simple set of rules can generate complex behaviors and outcomes, whether in ant colonies or project teams. Complex rules, on the other hand, often become bureaucratic. How these rules are formulated has a significant impact on how the complex system operates.
Newtonian approaches predict results. CAS approaches create emergent results. "Emergence is a property of complex adaptive systems that creates some greater property of the whole (system behavior) from the interaction of the parts (self-organizing agent behavior). Emergent results cannot be predicted in the normal sense of cause and effect relationships, but they can be anticipated by creating patterns that have previously produced similar results" (Highsmith 2000). Creativity and innovation are the emergent results of well functioning agile teams.
An adaptive development process has a different character from an optimizing one. Optimizing reflects a basic prescriptive Plan-Design-Build lifecycle. Adapting reflects an organic, evolutionary Envision-Explore-Adapt lifecycle. An adaptive approach begins not with a single solution, but with multiple potential solutions (experiments). It explores and selects the best by applying a series of fitness tests (actual product features or simulations subjected to acceptance tests) and then adapting to feedback. When uncertainty is low, adaptive approaches run the risk of higher costs. When uncertainty is high, optimizing approaches run the risk of settling too early on a particular solution and stifling innovation. The salient point is that these two fundamental approaches to development are very different, and they require different processes, different management approaches, and different measurements of success.
Newtonian versus quantum, predictability versus flexibility, optimization versus adaptation, efficiency versus innovation—all these dichotomies reflect a fundamentally different way of making sense about the world and how to manage effectively within it. Because of high iteration costs, the traditional perspective was predictive and change averse, and deterministic processes arose to support this traditional viewpoint. But our viewpoint needs to change. Executives, project leaders, and development teams must embrace a different view of the new product development world, one that not only recognizes change in the business world, but also understands the power of driving down iteration costs to enable experimentation and emergent processes. Understanding these differences and how they affect product development is key to understanding APM.

Janet Kuypers
from the "Periodic Table of Poetry" series (෧, Pr)
with elements of the poems "a Match" and "Rings Like Gravestones"
"I once set fire to my fingernail.
I wanted my finger to be a
human candle."
She dropped another match into her glass.
The flame sizzled
in the drops of drink at the bottom.
In a corner booth, in this small club
the flame she aroused looked like
any other table light.
But if you looked too closely,
the light would scorch your soul,
would burn your eyes hollow.
That little piece of energy she held
could be so intense
that you needed that Praseodymium
in your eye glasses
just to look for another second.
The flame she aroused
looked like any other light,
but she knew she was destined
for the big screen,
complete with studio lighting
and projector lights
from the motion picture industry
broadcasting her to the world
through arc lights.
So she struck another match
at the side of the box.
Six or seven lay on the cocktail napkin,
ten more at the bottom of the glass.
She'd watch the reflection
of the gemstones in rings
across her fingertips
reflecting that flame.
The yellow-green cubic zirconia
on each of her fingers
bounced the light of the flame
in thousands of directions.
She likes gemstones
on her rings, she doesn't bother
with big earrings
or expensive necklaces —
she looks at her hands
because she likes rings;
she can't help it.
A few of those peridot-inspired stones
were gifts from a loved one,
because they knew they were dying soon.
So she becomes the only one
treating these rings live gravestones,
even when no one has even died yet.
And the person that gave her these rings,
she knows they want to be cremated.
Just then you could see the flame
dancing at her fingertip.
She shook the match. She dropped it in her glass.

Toys aren't us: Dealing with special needs parent buying compulsion
19 comments:
- AnonymousJune 17, 2013 at 10:47 AM
I think we all obsessively buy toys, books, provide therapy etc for our children mainly out of the concern that " this may b the one thing that really helps and how can I not try?"
We too learned that more does not indicate better. The upside is that as they grow they actually decide for themselves what they want to play with and what us important to them. Unfortunately that doesn't mean things cost any less :) - Jenny GJune 17, 2013 at 11:19 AM
This is me, COMPLETELY. Minus the purging. I haven't done that yet. I always think "this one will be great for cause effect", or "this one spins AND lights up, that will be the ticket". My son shows his wants so rarely, that when I do see him show interest in something, I want him to have it. He doesn't know how to ask me otherwise. But you are right-it doesn't mean I need to buy every stinkin toy.
ReplyDelete Samuel will be 20 this year and I still want to go out and buy any new toy that his therapists and teachers say that he likes and is encouraging him to practice his skills. The next thing is an I-Pad--a little more expensive than a see-n-say which was his favorite at 3. But I have watched him with an I-Pad and it is amazing. So let's just say that over the years I have become more selective in my purchasing, but I'm still a sucker for success.

iPads are amazing and bring tremendous independence to many persons with disabilities who would not be able to let their needs, wants and desires known. it is also a terrific teaching tool. If you can do it, it is worth it for him in the long run. In fact there are many great blogs out there which tell which apps are the best and to what end :)
Been there! Still there? Sometimes. This tendency to buy a million toys was especially hard in my son's early years when early childhood therapists would come in with their bag of toys and recommend buying them. I was also searching for that one toy that would make all the difference. Honestly though, at age 7 my son has finally found one TV show that he will sit and watch for a few minutes and this wonderful TV reprieve has led me to buy way too many episodes and toys that go along with that show hoping to spark an imaginative play button hidden somewhere deep within. I have also found that I need to re-think playing with my son and try to just enjoy it instead of thinking of the therapeutic goals we are working on all the time!
ReplyDelete- Patty MJune 17, 2013 at 12:06 PM
Thank you, thank you! I am in the purging/recovery phase now, but in the early years shopping was definately my preferred self-therapy!
Only I didn't stop with toys- having two special needs daughters meant having their closets bulging with so many clothes, they couldn't even wear them all! I am glad those days are behind me now, but wish my family and friends could have seen my behavior for what it was- an antidote for the deep depression I was in, rather than judging me harshly for it! I have learned a lot too and try not to buy, buy, buy for my G. It's hard for ALL of the reasons you say. And I am very emotionally attached to items that helped him!!! We are finally giving away our f-p Laugh & Learn Fun With Friends Musical Table to a friend with a new baby. It's extremely HARD!!!
ReplyDeleteI sooooo relate! My daughter has such poor fine motor control, I tend to hang onto anything she has had any remote success controlling. Even after she moved up mentally from the "baby toys" but that was all her hands could manipulate, we'd play that she was helping her dolls play with those toys. I suppose that was a good exercise in both motor skills and imagination? But now we're way past all of that. If anyone knows of a leisure activity for a teenager helps build infant-level motor skills, please share! We're so past toys at our house. We keep watching for single-switch computer games, but those tend to rely on timing (sorry, apraxia is as bad as the motor control...).
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJune 18, 2013 at 12:23 PM
I'm glad I'm not alone with the toy buying - it didn't help when I did foster-care and had more kids to buy for - but mostly at the same developmental stage. When searching through the ToysRUs web
site for special needs kids before Zach's recent birthday, I found we already owned most of them. We are in the process of moving and I think we are pretty evenly divided between throw-away, give-away and keep. I gave my grandson, Zach's school and therapists first dibs on the donate pile. - SilviaJune 19, 2013 at 9:44 AM
I'm guessing this happens to all of us. My house is also crammed with stuff, it's so frustrating. I've always wondered if there are any specialized online sites (other than Ebay) where people buy and sell used therapeutic toys. If anyone knows of such a website, please share the info, thanks!
ReplyDelete Great Article. As the father of an autistic and rambunctious 9 year old - I can totally relate. After having trouble finding appropriate toys for my son, I decided to develop one. I have just launched MagneBricks on kickstarter.com - These are better magnetic building blocks because they are plastic, safely contain strong magnets, and have interlocking features that help blocks come together correctly. Just bringing one near another makes them automatically find the correct orientation. If you care to see, please click here:
Thanks and great blog!As a fellow parent of a child with special needs - My 9 year old Anthony is autistic (and rambunctious) - I understand how fun and difficult playtime can be sometime - especially with Toys.
Partly because of this, I have been developing (and am know "kickstarting") a new magnetic building block system that is better than those available currently.
Advantages are:
1. Plastic not wood - my son loves to chew on wooden toys
2. Strong Magnetic attraction - blocks don't have to be sooo close together to attract
3. Best of all - Interlocking features so child can learn which sides go together as they magically re-arrange themselves to fit. This makes structures stronger and more linear too!
Please take a look at my video and help me spread the word if you think they are cool.

Project Shortcuts
Enterprise Architect enables you to create a desktop shortcut (or proxy file) to an Enterprise Architect project (Cloud, DBMS or file-based). Each shortcut is a file containing the connection string for the model. In addition, the shortcut also defines views that Enterprise Architect should open when it opens the model, as outlined here. In this manner it is a convenient and customizable way of quickly sharing a connection to a Cloud based model without requiring other users to know the details of the connections string, model name and other parameters.
Ribbon |
> Save As Shortcut |
View |
Detail |
See also |
Diagrams |
Define one or more specific diagram(s) to be loaded on opening the project. |
Model Search |
Open the Model Search with a specific text string and search type. For searches operating on the current tree selection, a diagram in the target Package must be opened first. If you use a custom SQL search, the SQL must include ea_guid AS CLASSGUID and the object type. You specify a single Model Search to open. |
Model Search |
The Relationship Matrix with a saved profile |
Open the Relationship Matrix with a saved profile. You specify a single Relationship Matrix profile to open. |
Relationship Matrix |
The default Team Review |
Open the default Team Review document. You specify the Team Review once. |
Team Review Tools |
Working Set |
Open a working set. You specify a single Working Set to open. This is very similar to the shortcut itself, opening a defined set of diagrams and views. However, the working set can also open source code editors, therefore widening the capabilities of the shortcut alone. Working sets make it easy to customize the main views you want to open without having to resave your project short cuts. The working set is easy to tailor to your changing requirements, adding greater flexibility to any short cut that calls the working set. Also, working sets provide the capability of storing the currently-engaged files when closing a model, and reopening them in the context in which you were last using them. The basic project shortcut can also do this, but once the work environment is captured the shortcut returns to the same set up each time you use it. The working set always captures the current work environment each time the model closes. This option can be very useful in, for example, a coding environment when you want to return to the last files you were editing. |
Working Sets |
Workspace Layout |
Apply a selected Workspace Layout, which opens and sets out the appropriate screens and windows for a specific area of work, such as model simulation. You specify a single Workspace Layout to open. However, by creating and using separate shortcuts you can open Enterprise Architect in exactly the configuration you need for the work you want to do - modeling, coding, or debugging, for example. |
Manage Workspace Layout |
An example shortcut |
You might create a shortcut to open, in sequence:
Enterprise Architect opens the appropriate windows in the sequence in which you list the options, displaying the last view in the list as the active view. In this example, the project opens with the Enterprise Architect work area showing the two diagram tabs and the 'Model Search' tab, and with the 'Changes' diagram displayed in the Diagram View. |

In a statement released to the press, interim Information Minister and government spokesman Muyej Mangeze said that "undisciplined troops had erected barricades unauthorized by the military hierarchy, thereby disrupting public order and the tranquility of the population in some places."
The government said it was following the situation "very closely" and called on those responsible to "refrain from acts that could expose them to the rigors of justice, both nationally and internationally."
Although not named directly in the statement, the troops are said to be under the command of General Bosco Ntaganda, a former CNDP rebel leader who was integrated into the Congolese Armed Forces as part of a peace deal.
A former member of the Rwandan army, Bosco Ntaganda became the commander of the CNDP rebel group after Congolese and Rwandan authorities struck a deal that led to the arrest of warlord Laurent Nkunda in 2009. Rwanda is known to have supported the CNDP in its proxy fight against the Rwandan FDLR rebels based in eastern Congo.
Bosco Ntaganda, also known as "The Terminator", was indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2006. The ICC said there were reasonable grounds to believe he used child soliders in the Ituri conflict, in north-eastern DR Congo, as a commander in the FPLC milita group between 2002 and 2003.
The troop movements are believed to be a show of force by General Ntaganda amid renewed calls for his arrest after his former boss in the FPLC, Thomas Lubanga, was convicted by the ICC on March 14. Former CNDP rebels integrated into the Congolese army are said to have left their units, taking ammunition and other military equipments with them.
Accused of supporting impunity, the Congolese government has argued that it has cooperated with the ICC by arresting and sending Thomas Lubanga, Mathieu Ngudjolo and Germain Katanga to the court. It has so far resisted arresting Bosco Ntaganda, saying his arrest may cause more harm than good.
President Joseph Kabila said during a news conference last October that in Ntaganda's case, peace trumpets all other considerations.

On Thursday, President Obama said he was not ready to authorize airstrikes against Islamic extremists in Syria. But the U.S. military's already spending close to $7.5 million a day on it's operations against the Islamic State in Iraq. The president faced a barrage of questions about his strategy - or the lack of one. Jane Harman joins us now. She's director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, was a longtime Democratic representative from California who served on both the House Intelligence and Armed Services committees. Representative Harman, thanks very much for being with us.
JANE HARMAN: Thank you, Scott. And let me just say that your programming on a Saturday morning is so exceptional. I'm honored to be part of it.
SIMON: Well, thank you very much. So let me toss you a corker right off the bat, OK? When the president says we don't have a strategy yet, what message does that send to the Islamic State or U.S. allies?
HARMAN: Well, I think it was an unfortunate choice of words. I think what he meant was he hasn't selected among a list of pretty tough options yet. I'm certain that the White House, the National Security Council, the Defense Department and all of our government agencies are working on a way, hopefully not just to contain ISIS, which I think may be not containable, but to confront ISIS and reduce the threat that it poses. Let's just make one point here, though - what do you call it - ISIS, the Islamic State, ISIL - L stands for Levant - it is a threat to more than just Iraq and Syria. There already have been border attacks in Jordan, destabilizing efforts in Turkey. And I think Saudi Arabia has its head in the sand if it doesn't think that some ultimate capital of an Islamic State, that seems to me kind of a gruesome idea, would be Mecca. So it makes no sense for the whole neighborhood not to be involved in thinking about the best strategies.
SIMON: Does the United States look like we have our head in the sand on this if there's not a forceful, articulate strategy?
HARMAN: I wouldn't say head in the sand. And certainly, the United States is engaged, but I think, actually, that an op-ed in The New York Times today by John McCain and Lindsey Graham has it right, which in part by saying that we need a comprehensive strategy. We need presidential leadership, we need the president actually explaining to the American people why it matters to confront ISIS, and we need an enhanced sense of urgency. I should just add one more thing to their laundry list, and actually they mentioned it, we need an engaged Congress.
The authorization to use military force, which passed Congress in - two of them in 2001 and 2002, both of which I voted for, really don't apply directly to any longer-term strategy against ISIS. And it's very important for Congress, I think, to have a serious debate about what to do next. Many members of Congress are now embracing this idea. Whether or not the AUMF gets amended, it still is very important for Congress, because it speaks for the American people, to convene and conduct a sensible bipartisan debate on what the U.S. interests are.
SIMON: You know, before we go, I'd like to take advantage of your experience to ask about Ukraine today also because President Obama seemed intent on calling it an incursion. But has Vladimir Putin begun what amounts to a slow-motion invasion in Ukraine?
HARMAN: Well, I'm not sure the word matters so much. What does matter is the presence of Russians. No one can argue that anymore. In intelligence speak, we call it a slam dunk that there are Russian weapons and people who happen to be Russian...
SIMON: Now that - you'll...
HARMAN: ...Inside the territory of Ukraine.
SIMON: Slam dunk is a phrase that doesn't have a good history, right?
HARMAN: (Laughter) It doesn't. But there is Russian presence in eastern Ukraine beyond Crimea, which most people think was illegally seized from Ukraine. And there is speculation that Russia's now trying to set up a land corridor between Russia and Crimea, which doesn't exist at the moment. But regardless of that, I think it is imperative that law-abiding countries, not just in the West, put our strengths against Russia's weakness, and that means enhanced sanctions. That's the way to push Russia back and those sanctions are biting. And I think that explains in part why Russia's acting like this.
SIMON: Jane Harman, director of the Woodrow Wilson Center, thanks so much.
HARMAN: Thank you, Scott. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Quantity Calculations
Quantity Calculations
Topsoil and Sand
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2
m2 X 1.2 X Depth (inches)... then divide your total by 36 = tonnes required
Bark, Mulch and Compost
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2
m2 x 0.05 = cubic metres per 2 inch/50mm depth
Garden Lawn Turf
Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed. We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.
Natural Stone Paving
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need. Our packs are 15.25m2.
Gravel and Slate
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2
m2 x 0.04 = tonnes per 1 inch/25mm depth
Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)
1 tonne = 1000kgs / 1 Jumbo Bag
1 cubic metre = 1000ltrs / 1 Jumbo Bag
Samples are sent with Royal Mail 2nd class service so please allow 3 to 5 working days (please allow extra during Royal Mail Strikes).
Samples are chosen at random and naturally occurring products may vary slightly in shade and particle size, from load to load.
This is a small amount of product that will fit in your hand, approx 100gms per sample.
Product Disclaimer
Product Disclaimer
We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!
Gravel/Stone Size & Colour
Images are for representation only. All products that Dandy's supplies are naturally occurring products and may have slight variations in colour, size and content, individual rocks, stones or cobbles made be broken or misshaped because of this. Sizes of products specified are approximate and can vary. Naturally occurring products such as slate, natural stone paving or gravel are sourced from quarries and so can often differ in appearance slightly from load to load.

Do you offer free returns?
Unfortunately not.
How durable are the fabrics?
It depends on the fabric and type of performance the garments are used for. The mesh stays in great shape and does not rip easily. The holographics tend to retract a little less, but keep the sparkle throughout many types of performances, and lasts over a long period of time. The metallics are the most fragile, and are not suited for performances with a lot of friction directly on the area of the body where they are located.
Do you offer sponsorships or collaboration discounts?
Not at this point.
Can I borrow clothes for my photo shoot?
If you have a professional team and a LOR/pull letter from a well-known magazine, you are very welcome to get in touch.

Can I borrow clothes for my video shoot?
For video shoots; fashion, circus, dance or music, the garments can be rented. No loans at this point.
Can I borrow clothes for my event or show?
Unfortunately not, but for a one time performance in the EU where the garment is not at risk of being damaged, rental of a garment can be arranged.
Do you have sales?
Yes, we have a shop-wide sale once a year, typically in the spring or early summer. Newsletter subscribers may get secret discount codes on top of access to the VIP shop with exclusive designs.

New York City, not-too-distant-future: Eric Packer, a 28 year-old finance golden boy dreaming of living in a civilization ahead of this one, watches a dark shadow cast over the firmament of the Wall Street galaxy, of which he is the uncontested king. As he is chauffeured across midtown Manhattan to get a haircut at his father's old barber, his anxious eyes are glued to the yuan's exchange rate: it is mounting against all expectations, destroying Eric's bet against it. Eric Packer is losing his empire with every tick of the clock. Meanwhile, an eruption of wild activity unfolds in the city's streets. Petrified as the threats of the real world infringe upon his cloud of virtual convictions, his paranoia intensifies during the course of his 24-hour cross-town odyssey.
Packer starts to piece together clues that lead him to a most terrifying secret: his imminent assassination.
Cronenberg revisits subjects that fascinate him: how the organic and the psychological are inextricably intertwined, society's anxieties and phobias, and letting repressed impulses and paranoia run wild. COSMOPOLIS is a culmination of his masterpieces that addresses the alarming global financial crisis of today's world.
It is a hauntingly prophetic fable that turns the future into history and suggests that the archaic might be our eerie future.

Early Spring Asparagus Risotto
- 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 cups Water
- 2-2 1/2 Tablespoons butter or olive oil (I use both, 1 T butter, 1+ T of olive oil)
- 1/2 - 3/4 cups mix of shallots and onions, chopped (I used 2 shallots and one small onion)
- 2 cup Arborio Rice
- 1/2 cup White Wine
- 4 cups Chicken Stock
- 3-4 cups Asparagus Water
- 4 cups Chicken Stock
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Clean and cut the asparagus into 1 inch pieces. I like to cut them on the diagonal.
- Blanch the asparagus for a minute or so and remove from water.
- Keeping the warm water to add to the risotto.
- Heat the chicken stock and asparagus water to a near boil and keep warm.
- Heat your butter and oil in a large saucepan or risotto pot. When butter is melted, add your chopped shallots and onions. Saute for 2-4 minutes until translucent.
- Then add your arborio rice and stir to coat thoroughly with your butter and oil and then continue to saute for another minute or so.
- Add your white wine and stir until it is completely absorbed.
- Next we begin the process that makes risotto creamy. Add a ladle of your hot chicken broth and stir constantly until is is absorbed. Repeat until you have used all your broth and most, if not all, of your asparagus water. And when your rice is tender but not mushy.
- At this time, remove from heat, add asparagus, then add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Yield: Makes 4 generous dinner servings or 6 side servings.

The modern Oriental cultivates his Beard as the sign and ornament of manhood: he swears by his Beard, touching it. The sentiment seems to have been the same in Biblical times. According to the Egyptian and Assyrian monuments, all western Semites wore a full, round Beard, evidencing great care. Long beards, as found on later Babylonian and Assyrian sculptures, representing the highest aristocracy, do not, however, seem to have occurred among the Jews. [The elder ("zaḳēn"), probably received his name from his long Beard, as "bene barbatus."]
The frequent assertion that the upper lip was shaved is incorrect. According to II Sam. xix. 24 (Hebr. 25), the mustache ("safam"; A. V. "beard") received regular "trimming" (thus A. V., after the Vulgate; the Hebrew "doing" is as general as inEnglish). Anointing of the Beard seems to be referred to in Ps. cxxxiii. 2 (contrast the neglect of the Beard in I Sam. xxi. 14 as a sign of madness). In II Sam. xx. 9, taking a man by his Beard is, possibly, a sign of special friendship.
To mutilate the Beard of another by cutting or shaving is, consequently, considered a great disgrace, II Sam. x. 4 ("plucking out," Isa. l. 6). Mourners bring a sacrifice by disfiguring themselves in this way: see references to cutting off, in Isa. xv. 2; to clipping, in Jer. xlviii.37; and plucking off, in Ezra ix. 3 (contrast Jer. xli. 5, where shaving is found even in the presence of the Lord, with the prohibition, Lev. xix. 27, xxi. 5). The latter seems to mean specially the corners; i.e., sides, the clipping or shaving of which produces a pointed Beard. In distinction from the settled Semites, the nomadic tribes of the desert wore such a pointed Beard (compare Jer. ix. 25, xxv. 23, xlix. 32). On Egyptian representations, see W. M. Müller, "Asien und Europa," p. 140. The shaving prescribed for lepers seems intended to call public attention to this dreaded disease (Lev. xiv. 9).
The business of the barber (Ezek. v. 1) may, outside of ceremonial shaving, have consisted in trimming and polling.
In Gen. xli. 14, Joseph's shaving does not belong to the Palestinian, but to the Egyptian, custom. The Egyptians of the higher classes shaved the Beard carefully; fashion allowing only sometimes a small tuft under the chin. The long, pointed chin-tuft of the primitive Egyptians (preserved among their Hamitic relatives, the Libyans and the inhabitants of Punt) was kept as an artificial Beard, tied to the chin on state occasions and at religious ceremonies. Of the other nations coming in contact with Israel, the Hittites and the Elamitic nations shaved the Beard completely, as the earliest Babylonians had done (in part?).

- Nowack, Lehrbuch der Hebräischen Archäologie, p. 134;
- W. M. Müller, Asien und Europa, pp. 296 et seq.
That "the adornment of a man's face is his beard" (Shab. 152a) was a favorite saying among the Jews of Palestine in the second century of the common era; two centuries later, the expression "adornment of the face" was current among the Babylonian Jews as a designation for the Beard (B. M. 84a). Intercourse with Greeks and Romans during all this period had evidently not modified Semitic esteem for the Beard: indeed, it had rather the contrary effect; for it led to its consideration as something specifically Jewish (Baruch vi. 31). The Halakah, accordingly, occupied itself in early times with the subject, having reference to the precepts in Lev. xix. 27, xxi. 5. These passages were supposed to contain two prohibitions, the removal of the side-locks ("pe'ot") and the shaving of the Beard. As regards the former, some authorities prohibit not only the total removal of these locks, but even clipping them (see Pe'ot). Concerning the Beard, however, the Halakah only forbids its removal with a razor, and not even by this means except when the hair is removed smoothly and close to the roots (Misknah Mak iii. 5; Sifra, Ḳedoshim, vi.; ed. Weiss, 90c).
This modification of the actual Biblical prohibition was probably due to Jewish intercourse with the Greeks, as the regulation is expressly made by the Rabbis that any one having constant intercourse with the officers of the government might adopt the heathen tonsure, while to others it remained strictly forbidden (B. Ḳ. 83a). Eliezer b. Hyrcanus, the representative of the old Halakah, opposed this innovation (ib.; the reading "Elazar" is unsupported; compare Rabbinowicz, "Diḳduḳe Soferim," on the passage), and forbade any removal of the Beard whatever, either with forceps or with a cutting instrument. Some of the ancients explain a passage in the Tosefta (Ber. i. 4) as if its removal were the custom of a heretical sect in the second century (Tos. of Judah Ḥasid and Solomon b. Adret, on Ber. 11a). Although this passage admits of another explanation, Epiphanius ("Adversus Hæreses," lxx. 7; ed. Migne, ii. 765) mentions that a certain heretical sect regarded a shaven face as a religious essential. The "Apostolic Constitutions," i. 3, lay insistence upon the Biblical prohibition against the removal of the Beard, as does Clement of Alexandria ("Pædagogus," chap. iii.; ed. Migne, i. 580-592; compare Jerome on Ezek. xliv. 20), and the Jewish sages agree in basing the objectionto such removal on the ground that God gave man a Beard to distinguish him from woman, and that it is therefore wrong to antagonize nature (among Jewish commentators compare Baḥya and Abravanel on Lev. xix. 27). In Palestine, where a large Hellenic population resided, the clipping of the Beard (except in periods of mourning) seems to have been prevalent as early as the third century in learned circles of Jews, who probably respected the above-mentioned tannaite Halakah, while the uninformed people scarcely regarded the distinction between clipping and shaving (Yer. R. H. i. 57b).
In medieval times, as in the Talmudical period, the custom of the country seems to have been followed in regard to the Beard. In the East, among Mohammedan nations, the Jews wore long beards; in Germany, France, and Italy, it was entirely removed with scissors (Levi, "Tisporet Lulyanit," pp. 70, 71; Ḳimḥi to II Sam. x. 5; Asheri, Makkot iii., beginning; marginal gloss on the Tos. to Shab. 2b, quoted by Isserlein," Terumat ha-Deshen," p. 295; authoritative thus for the period from the twelfth to the fifteenth century). Scrupulous German rabbis, however, sought, as early as the fifteenth century, to forbid the cutting of the Beard, doubtless because the majority paid little attention to the strict letter of the Halakah, and, instead of cutting with the scissors, shaved smooth with a razor (Isserlein, l.c. p. 9). But this rigor was too much even for Isserles (Shulḥan 'Aruk, Yoreh De'ah, 181, 9).
The Cabalists succeeded where the Talmudists failed; they declared even the shortening of the Beard with scissors to be a great sin, and they related of their master, Isaac Luria, that he kept his hands from his Beard lest the contact should cause any hairs to drop from it (Judah Ashkenazi, "Baër Heṭeb," on Yoreh De'ah, l.c.). With the spread of Luria's Cabala in Poland and the Slavonic lands, any trimming of the Beard with scissors was gradually prohibited. The Italians, even the Italian Cabalists, still shaved, according to the custom of the land, one of them even going so far as to demonstrate cabalistically that shaving off the Beard was interdicted only in the Holy Land, and that elsewhere the opposite practise was rather to be recommended (Shabbethai Beër, "Responsa Beër 'Esheḳ," 670).
In Eastern lands the Jews, like their Mohammedan neighbors, did not cut their beards; and in 1720 this led to a violent controversy between Italian Jews who had settled for business purposes in Salonica, Turkey, and the rabbinate there, the latter insisting that the newcomers must wear their beards. The Italian rabbis, called into the discussion by their countrymen, could not decide the matter; for the further question was involved as to the obligation of sojourners to govern themselves by the rules of their temporary abiding-place (Joseph Ergas, "Dibre Yosef," No. 36, decides against the Italians; in their favor were S. Morpurgo and Mordecai Ẓahalon, in the first responsa collection, "Shemesh Ẓedaḳah," No. 61). This "cult of the Beard" had also its opponents, and among them was especially noticeable Joseph Solomon del Medigo, from whom, or from whose pupil, Moses b. Meir (Metz?), the following epigram is extant:
"If men be judged wise by their beards and their girth, Then goats were the wisest of creatures on earth."
In the second half of the seventeenth century the practise arose among the Jews in Germany and Italy of removing the Beard by means of pumice-stone orchemical agents, which left the face smooth, as if shaven. This was strenuously, though no doubt vainly, opposed by two distinguished Talmudists of the time, the Polish rabbi Hillel b. Naphtali ("Bet Hillel," on Yoreh De'ah, 187) and the Italian Joseph b. Solomon Fiametta (quoted in his son-in-law's Responsa, "Shemesh Ẓedaḳah," No. 61, p. 102d). One of the questions constantly recurring in the responsa literature of the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries concerns the clipping of the Beard on the "middle days" of the festivals ("Ḥol ha-Mo'ed"), because Talmudical law forbids the cutting of the hair on these days (see the responsa of the Amsterdam and Venetian rabbis in Moses Ḥages, "Leḳeṭ ha-Ḳemaḥ," on Yoreh De'ah, 138).
Trivial as all this question appears, it was important in the history of the Jewish Reform movement in Italy. Isaac Samuel Reggio published (Vienna, 1839) a pamphlet entitled "Ma'amar ha-Tiglaḥat, "in which he attempted to prove casuistically that the regulations of the Talmud concerning the cutting of the Beard on the "middle days" no longer had application, on account of the changed circumstances." This called forth the replies, "Tiglaḥat ha-Ma'amar" (Leghorn, 1839) by Abraham Ḥay Reggio and "Tisporet Lulyanit," by Jacob Ezekiel Levi (Berlin, 1839). In Italy the influence of the non-Jewish population was so strong that even so zealous a representative of rabbinical Judaism as Samuel David Luzzatto remarked in a private letter that he no longer concerned himself with the prohibition of shaving, because he thought the Bible intended it to apply only to priests. In Poland and in the Slavonic countries, attempts were made, toward the end of the eighteenth century, to evade the Biblical prohibition of shaving, much to the vexation of the leading Talmudists (Ezekiel Landau, "Nodi' bi-Yehuda," ii.; Yoreh De'ah, 80). Ḥasidism, which just then sprang up in those countries, restored the Beard to its former dignity; so that today, in all eastern Europe, the complete removal of the Beard is considered an evidence of a formal break with rabbinical Judaism (compare Smolenski, "Simḥat Ḥanef," ed. 1890, p. 46, and the Yiddish satire "Die Bord" in Michael Gordon, "Yüdische Lieder," p. 15). Special stress is laid upon the propriety of the ḥazan's wearing a Beard (Joel Sirkes, "Bet Ḥadash," on Ṭur Oraḥ Ḥayyim, 53; Shabbethai Beër, "Beër Sheba'," p. 107), with reference to an old Talmudical prescription dating from a period when the absence of a Beard was a sign of juvenility (Ḥul. 24b). The fourth council at Carthage (398) similarly decided "clericus nec comam nutriat, nec barbam radat" (the clergyman shall not let his hair grow, neither shall he remove his Beard); and even many centuries later, when the Church found it vain to oppose the removal of the Beard by the laity, it still insisted that the clerics should wear a Beard (Bingham, "Antiquities of the Christian Church," I. ii. 15, 16).
Popular imagination also has occupied itself with the Beard. The following saying, attributed to Ben Sirach, was current in Talmudical times: "A thinbearded man is cunning, a thick-bearded one is a fool; but nobody can do any harm to a man with a parted beard" (Sanh. 160b). The Talmud says of the Pharaoh of the Exodus, that his Beard was an ell in length (M. Ḳ. 18a).
An oath upon the Beard and pe'ot is customaryamong the Polish Jews to-day, although generally employed in an ironical sense (compare Bernstein, in "Ha-Shaḥar," vi. 405).

Jerry did it all and did it like no-one else could. He recorded a load of high-octane, low-down, all-original exploitation projects and several great records under his own name. There was nothing vanilla about Jerry's music and he had the unique ability to understand which way the trends were going and to make them his own.
Jerry's career as a "fictitious" band leader began with his work on the Crown label. In 1963 he wrote the music, produced and played on several hotrod/motorcycle-themed LPs for the label by fictitious artists including the Hot Rodders, the Blasters, the Winners, the Scramblers and the Strokers. While these LPs include some fun and sometimes dreadful vocals, the instrumentals are raw, take-no-prisoners slabs of hot rod music at its best. That same year he recorded the first of three Joe Saraceno-produced themed LPs for Capitol, "Outer Limits" (exploiting the exploiter!) as Jerry Cole & the Spacemen. Introduced to Capitol by Bobby Darin, Jerry went on to record "Hot Rod Dance Party" and the seminal "Surf Age", regarded as probably the most sophisticated surf LP of the era. He also appeared on several Gary Usher Capitol projects including "Hot Rod High" by the Knights. At the same time, Jerry was recording loads of drag racing, motorcycle and speed boat-themed instro albums for the Liberty label under the the Hornets banner. While this is not a complete list of studio instro LPs he appeared on, all of his efforts were fast-paced, balls-to-the walls original LPs that hold up well today.
With the advent of the go-go craze, Jerry recorded three themed LPs for Crown between 1965-66. Being situated in Hollywood, working the Sunset Strip and band leader of television's smash dance/music show Shindig, Cole was smack dab in the middle of the swinging go-go scene. The first LP, "Guitars A Go Go" by the Stingers, included a few of the same tracks from the hotrod LPs, sans the hotrod sound effects with alternate titles. 'Dang Thing' appears as 'Bad Rubber' from the Blasters' "Sounds Of The Drags", 'Coming On' as "Pealin' Out' from the Strokers' "Hot Rod Alley" and 'Unchained Soul' is an alternate version of 'The Green Monster' from the same LP. Also compare 'Great Scott' with the Champs' 'Red Eye' – Jerry worked this riff on several tracks during the 60s. The next LP, "A Go Go Guitars" was credited to him and is somewhat more polished. All 10 tracks are standouts and 'Curfew', 'Really Got it Bad', 'Sloppin'', 'Tower Of London' and 'Teen Age Fair' are featured here. "Guitars A Go Go Vol 2", this time by Jerry Cole and the Stingers, features Jerry playing a ferocious, twangy, rubber band-sounding Telecaster backed by Leon Russell's signature piano and long-time band mates/brothers Glen and Norm Cass with Don Dexter on drums. This was one hell of a tightly-wound rhythm section and deserve much credit for Jerry's overall sound on most of his instrumental recordings. This just might be some of the fastest and rockin'-est guitar playing ever recorded.

Corsair Obsidian 900D Case Review: Think Big, That's Only HALF as Large
by Dustin Sklavos on April 16, 2013 11:00 AM EST- Posted in
- Cases/Cooling/PSUs
- Corsair
- Water Cooling
An enclosure built from the ground up for custom liquid cooling loops is actually a fairly rarefied thing. Why wouldn't it be? Building a custom loop is expensive and time consuming, which would make that type of enclosure the very definition of niche. Yet Corsair has come forward with the Obsidian 900D for one big reason: to fill that niche.
And "big" is definitely the operative word. Riding high on their liquid cooling legacy with the popular Obsidian 800D, Corsair has developed a positively massive enclosure that's designed essentially to hold the most powerful desktop machine you can conceive of while providing ample space to mount radiators and all the accoutrements of liquid cooling.
Before we get too much further into this review, I want to be absolutely clear about how the Obsidian 900D is being evaluated, because it's a very different beast from most cases. It superficially looks and is built like an overgrown ATX case, but at an MSRP of $349 it's about as premium as it gets. When you see the way Corsair designed it, you'll be able to tell like I did that it's destined for much more than a garden variety build.
What that also means is that while I have to put it through our conventional testing, that conventional testing is going to be primarily academic. Unfortunately it's much harder to tell how good an enclosure will be at its job when that job will vary from person to person in much more significant ways than just choosing which air cooler and graphics cards to use. What you're going to want to pay attention to are the feature set, ease of assembly, and overall design, and how they're going to suit your purposes. That's assuming you're in the market for a specialized case like this, and a lot of you won't be.

Corsair's press materials highlight the fact that the case is designed for liquid cooling, but you've probably figured that out given how much I've repeated it. What you're going to want to know now are the radiator clearances, and they're a doozy.
The top fan mounts have a 110mm clearance from the roof of the case to the top of the motherboard and you can intrude on the top 5.25" bay. Unfortunately in the front of the case, there's a slight spacing between the topmost 120mm fan and the two bottom ones, so that essentially means you can only install a single 240mm radiator; there does appear to be space to install a single 140mm radiator and fan instead if you're so inclined. The back of the case supports a single 140mm radiator in the exhaust fan slot. Corsair keeps the other bulk of radiator potential in the bottom of the enclosure, where you can theoretically install a 480mm radiator on one side and a 240mm radiator on the other, with 110mm of radiator clearance to the PSU. Note that installing a radiator in the bottom chamber does mean sacrificing those drive cages.

I want to mount a Mini-ITX system in this beast then tape a pair of hipster glasses on the top. LAN parties here I come. -

That'll be insane. I have been waiting for this case for so long. Now that it's here, I will consider purchasing it even though I have the XL R2 fitted with Noctua fans and H100i and runs cold. This will be a perfect purchase with a couple of Titans, hydrocopper versions that is. Drool! -

Wasted on <4 watercooled cards. Stick with your XL. -
DanNeely - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - link
The XLR2 doesn't have room for anything larger than a 280mm rad; that's tight for cooling SLI/xFire cards if you also have the CPU in the loop.
Also even if you're not filling them to the max, extra large cases are easier to work on because you've got a lot of extra space to fit your hands into and more freedom in how you place components as a result. If you're on a budget and trying to maximize bang for the buck an oversized case is an easy first thing to cut but they do make building/upgrading much easier.
As long as you've got the height and upper body strength to handle the size/weight anyway. :) -
hero1 - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - link
The XL R2 is very tight case. I figure that I could have a 280mm rad for the front but this means I have to get rid of my H100i and add another 280mm rad up top in order to cool SLI/XF with CPU in the loop. It's doable and I will consider it but the space does indeed become very tight. I think I can have the back and bottom fans as intake and exhaust through the top and front.
Can handle that weight easily but someone below mentioned the case labs products. I have been looking at what they have to offer and go from there. The only thing that Corsair has them beat is the aesthetics with regards to how the case is assembled. -

Dan, you've hit on one of my pet peeves - it's no fun working in a case without enough space to use your hands. It so much nicer to be working in a spacious case.
I'm in the process of going from a Codegen S-101 to the 900D, and looking forward to it. -

This is an awesome case that will serve us better, those who are willing to go all out on watercooling, custom that is. I hope that they make something like it that fits right between the 650D and 800D with the same cooling capabilities minus a couple of 5.25 drive bays. -

At this price all the external USB ports should be USB3 to futureproof it. Since most current mobos only have 1 or 2 USB3 headers, include a pair of USB3 to USB2 header adapters so the ports can be fully utilized now.
