I looked at many cat condos but was impressed with the description of this Pagoda Tree Large Cat Condo that the construction was made of non-toxic materials and was made in the U.S.A. That alone was a big selling point. My cats enjoy sleeping in it and scratching on it and the material has not come apart. The balance of the condo is great also in that it doesn't rock at all when my cat jumps on it. It is also a very pretty condo and adds to my house decor nicely. Teribpetnanny Bishop, CA
I love this cat tree! It's a good height and several color choices. It's heavy and very stable (a must when you have 2 cats 'flying' off of it on a regular basis. My kitties like to tear up carpet, but have haven't been able to pull much off of this unit (it has better carpet than my house!). The kitties take turns sleeping in the house, standing on top of the house and other levels and they use the scratching pc. regularly. I like that it looks more like a pc. of architecture rather than just a 'cat tree' - depending on the color you choose and the motif in your house, it can blend in. My 10 lb. cat can fit into the 'house' at the top with room to spare on the inside.
I work with the local animal shelter to foster cats and kittens, so have bought lots of cat trees over the years. This is one of the best made and sturdiest that I have seen. It doesn't fall over even when a cat goes flying on or off of it. I have cats that are 17 15 and 12 pounds and only the 12 pounder is comfortable in the pagoda. Also, I thought that the top of the pagoda would be suitable for a cat to sleep on. It is really too steep with not enough level area for a cat to successfully sleep on. So for my cats, I would redesign it a little, making the pagoda bigger with the top a little flatter. But it is still an amazing deal for the price and would work great for "normal" size cats! It is still being used and loved in spite of my minor objections.
My cats are happy with this tree, so I'm happy with this tree. It's tall and sturdy, no worries about it falling over. The construction feels very solid. Two out of three cats use it on a daily basis. The pagoda itself is the prime real estate. Even my big 12-pound cat can fit comfortably inside. Though the product description doesn't show all the colors, you can search the site for other similar trees from the same company to see the different colors. I went with the green and am pleased with it...it's relatively dark and looks nice. I'm very happy with this purchase...most of all because the tree itself looks very stylish. It's not some ugly beige behemoth sitting in my living room. Glad I bought this.
I am very pleased with this product, it was much better than expected. I have four cats and only one of the four will not use it, he is a 20 pounder and I believe he's just too darn big for it, but my other three medium size cats can't get enough of it. I have no complaints, just wish they made a larger one for my BIG BOY! Highly recomend for the average size cat.
This is a nice piece of cat furniture. It's attractive in the room. However, for some reason, my cats don't seem to care for it. They checked out the condo part when I first got it, but haven't used it since. They prefer their old pieces of cat furniture to it. Other cats may like it, but mine don't don't. I guess it's just them.
Had to replace this product as the first one had a bit of damage on the one of the wooden bases. The replacement process was swift and satisfactory. This is a very attractive and well made product. I like the grey carpet as it stylishly fits in with the decor of my home.
Excellent value for the price. These kinds of things are usually twice as much and not great quality. My cats love it.
We've had this for a few months now. Both of our Somali cats (~10lb) love it. They ignore everything except the little pagoda on top. Since I have it in my office, right beside my desk, they'll perch in there and curl up while I'm working. When it's cold in the house, they prefer places like this. It's also just the right height for a safe nap away from the possibility of being pestered by the annoying little underlings (we have dogs :)). Overall, a big risk to buy this online since the return shipping makes a return unrealistic, but I'm glad we got it. The ONLY thing that was difficult about this purchase, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was the horrible smell of the thing out of the box. We had it air it out for 6 weeks before we could use it. It's better now though and I don't smell it at all. It looks nice, classy and not too over board. My cats feel safe in it. Great buy for sure.

By Bob Bonett
Jets Insider.com Staff Writer
September 6th, 2007
With less than 72 hours until the Jets opener against their friendly rivals, the New England Patriots, game faces were on display in the Jets locker room, with each player seemingly prepared to go to battle against their divisional foes.
And looking back a few weeks ago, when news out of camp consisted of a rookie holdout in CB Darrelle Revis, an injured star running back, Thomas Jones, and a distraction on the offensive line in Pete Kendall, Gang Green looks in great shape going into their match-up with the hurting Patriots.
Yes, the injury report for the Jets may look quite more extensive, with Jones, CB Andre Dyson, KR Justin Miller and S Eric Smith all included. However, the Jets do not have one of their team leaders suspended for usage of performance enhancing drugs (S Rodney Harrison is out four games for the admitted use of the banned substance HGH).
Their star WR has not turned into a head case. (Nobody knows what is on the mind of WR Randy Moss).
Moreover, their DL isnt missing its stalwart, (as the Patriots are without Richard Seymour).
Amidst all of the pessimism surround QB Chad Penningtons arm, the situation at LG with rookie Jacob Bender slated to start, and LB Jonathan Vilmas performance as a linebacker in the 3-4 defense, thinks arent looking that bad in New York. As WR Laveranues Coles said, the team is optimistic about the way the team looks, and looking forward to getting on the field and showing the rest of the league their talent.
That being said, dont assume that the Jets feel lucky that they are playing the Pats short of full strength. Vilma and the rest of Gang Green want a challenge each week, even if it means taking on the team that most people predict to be the class of the NFL.
You want to play them at their best, and you want to play every team at their best, Vilma said, continuing to say that he still doesnt believe the injuries will effect the Patriots very much.
Gang Green seems pumped up for Sundays showdown with the Pats, a game that may foreshadow what will come for the Jets the rest of the year. Confidence is dripping from the offense, defense and special teams more than ever.
It seems like New England head coach Bill Belichick ought to be worried not only about the Jets receivers, but the entire team.
Practice Status Quo
The limited access time at practice went as usual with stretches coupled with some special teams work and limited contract walk-through drills.
Punter Ben Graham started the practice a little shaky, having some issues punting into the wind, but managed to finish up strong, pinning the return team at the one yard line from the forty when McCareins caught the boot on a fly.
This practice, as with the past few days, has been a little out of the norm for Jets players, as there was extra time between their last preseason contest with the Eagles and Sundays game.
It is a different week because of the extra time, Mangini said. We can move forward on some things (like yesterday) that we usually move forward on Thursdays and Fridays.
New York will return to the field tomorrow to endure their typical pre-game Friday practice in preparation for the AFC East showdown.
Let the Chess Match Begin
Belichick has earned his reputation as a mastermind through countless years of success in New England.
Mangini, meanwhile, has achieved notoriety as being a genius by leading a supposedly basement-quality team to the playoffs.
Thus, everybody is expecting a hard fought game not only between the players on the field, but also an intense match-up on the sidelines between the two head coaches; something Mangini is looking forward to.
Its great, Mangini said. Its why you spend so much time preparing in the offseason.
When all is said and done, the winner could be determined Sunday not by what happens in between the endzones, but what happens in between the ears of two of the leagues smartest coaches.
Revis Ready for Moss
A few weeks ago, it was a foregone conclusion that Revis had no shot at starting Sundays game against the Patriots, and would be relegated to special teams duties, if that.
However, it now appears almost definitively that Revis will be lined up opposite one of the leading receivers in the past decade, WR Randy Moss. And as always, Revis is bursting at the seams with confidence.
I come in their relaxed and know what I need to do. Revis said, Im here to do my job.
Two of the leagues most confident players should certainly put on a show this weekend, especially if QB Tom Brady targets the Jets rookie.
Coles Concentrating on Jets, not Patriots
With everybody pointing out the flaws in the Patriots with a plethora of players that will be noticeably absent or under-prepared this weekend, Coles still is focusing on the Jets only, not his opponents.
Its not about New England, Coles said. We have a football game to play, no matter who is on our schedule.
While Coles may be focusing on the Jets, though, it is almost guaranteed that the Patriots secondary has been eyeing game film, trying to get a leg up on New Yorks No. 1 wide receiver.
Balance Struck in Preparation
With four months leading up to a meeting with the Patriots, it may be easy for the players and coaches to prepare too much for New England, which would undoubtedly be counterproductive. Mangini feels the team struck a good point, though, in getting ready for their Week 1 opponents.
It is always a delicate balance, Mangini said. He went on to say that during parts of the week the coaches and players may watch more film, and then pull back, looking to avoid preparing too much.
Vilma echoed his coachs comments, saying the coaches did a good job keeping us focused on the priorities, them being minicamp, training camp, and preseason games.
New Look Patriots Nothing New
If Mangini knows one thing about the Patriots, it is that they do not need new players to show a new look; it comes with being coached by Belichick. He said that There are certain teams in the league that you can count on to also alter the look of their offense, offering the examples of going from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 defense, or changing the passing game from a screen game to a downfield attack.
Vilma also noted that preparing for the Patriots because their coach changes gameplans so much and because of the new players is partially a guessing game.
This years version (of the Patriots), we dont have much film besides the preseason and, even that, a lot of their players didnt play, Vilma said.
Luckily for New York, the Pats will probably be faced with the same problem due to the additions of Jones, Revis, and LB David Harris, three key players in the Jets attack.
Injury Report
The years first official injury report is utilizing N-F-L commissioner Roger Goodells new formula. Replacing the classic probable, questionable, doubtful and out classifications is full participation in practice, limited participation in practice, did not participate in practice and out.
New York Jets
Full Participation in Practice: TE Joe Kowalewski (finger), QB Chad Pennington (pelvis), DL Dewayne Robertson (knee), WR Chansi Stuckey (knee), FB Stacy Tutt (foot)
Limited Participation in Practice: CB Andre Dyson (foot), RB Thomas Jones (calf), CB Justin Miller (thigh), OL Brandon Moore (shoulder), S Eric Smith (thigh)
New England Patriots
Full Participation in Practice: QB Tom Brady (right shoulder)
Limited Participation in Practice: S Rashad Baker (hand), TE Dave Thomas (foot), DL Mike Wright (knee)
The team returns to the field tomorrow for a walk through and their final tuneup before facing the Pats on Sunday. Be sure to check back tommorrow and also look for our Jets-Patriots preview!

A new law is now cracking down on criminals
who target seniors, whether by physical and emotional abuse or financial exploitation.
Those crimes can now be classified as felonies. This will be a topic among law
enforcement at the Madison County DHR in Huntsville Thursday.
The District Attorney and a member of the
Securities & Exchange Commission will be there to talk about the "Protecting
Alabama's Elders Act," which passed in the most recent legislative session. It
will impose harsher penalties for criminals involved in elder abuse.
New additions to the criminal code would now
apply to abuse victims who are 60 years of age or older.
Abuse cases involving physical harm could range
from a misdemeanor to a Class-A felony, which could carry a ten year sentence.
Financial exploitation penalties can now be
classified as a Class-B felony, which carries a prison term of up to twenty
years in Alabama.
If you know a senior citizen who is being
abused, you can contact your local DHR office or call the Adult Abuse Hotline
at 1-800-458-7214.

The 2013 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V-6 is a big step in the right direction for Honda, with great performance and good tech, but we worry that all of these virtues may not trickle down to the rest of the brand.
The 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe SE is a good value, but its sporty pretenses work to its detriment. Check out the more laid-back sedan, instead.

Mikaylove Giveaway! [CLOSED]
I still very vividly remember back in March 2011 when I received an e-mail from a blog reader named Kay. I had just started my blog two months prior in January and not very many people knew about my work. Kay said that she had found my Valentine Teddy pattern and had made her very own! This was the very first time someone had sent me pictures of their work using my pattern, and I was so incredibly excited. I had spent hours writing up my patterns (there were only two at the time) and figuring out my designs, so to know that someone was using it somewhere in the world was incredibly special! You can see Kay's Valentine Teddy here.
Kay started her own blog called "I'm Hooked" and I loved perusing it as she posted adorable pics of her popsicle keychains, mini wallets/pouches, and all the lovely items she made for her baby girl (what a shoe collection!). What really caught my eye was her cute amigurumi penguin pattern that she had translated HERE. It was my first time crocheting with two colours at the same time, and I absolutely loved how this cutie turned out! You can read Penguin's step-by-step blog post here. I think this little penguin would make an adorable Christmas ornament, don't you?
Kay and I kept in touch, and I am so thankful for her love, support and prayers for our family. We are now both moms to beautiful baby girls! She even sent us a package full of goodies for baby Myla- this really brightened up my day and lifted my spirits as the first few weeks coming home from the hospital were challenging at times. Her thoughtfulness and generosity blew me away!
As we were messaging each other, Kay revealed how she had started her blog when she was pregnant and a bit lonesome. Kay wrote,
"It was your pattern that got people to even look at my page and from there I gained an audience that was interested in my work and most importantly, me. And even though I no longer blog, I will be forever grateful of the amigurumi bear pattern that changed my life. So, thank you!"
This brought me to tears, knowing how much of an impact my blog could have on someone. I've received at least a half dozen e-mails from people all stating that they've been inspired to start their own blogs after seeing "All About Ami", and I'm always so overjoyed to hear this. God has given me this platform to express and share my creativity and love of crochet with others, and I am so happy to hear that it has impacted others in such a positive way!
Even though Kay no longer blogs, she too has found a way to do what she loves and share it with others through her Etsy store called "Mikaylove" that she has just launched. Mikaylove is derived from her daughter's name "Mikayla", and as a stay at home mom, Kay was inspired by her love for her baby girl to create a handcrafted jewelry line that would appeal and be affordable to all audiences. Kay sent me some of her pieces and I immediately fell in love with their elegant and classy designs. I liked them so much that I ordered some more for myself and my family!
Kay sent me the "Cross Weave Bracelet in Peach" (LOVE this) and the "Double Wrap Bracelet in Maroon" (maroon/burgundy or 'oxblood' is such a trendy colour right now for the fall!).
Kay's classic designs go well with any outfit and you can definitely dress them up or dress them down! I looove stacking bracelets to add interest to my outfits….can you ever have enough bracelets?
I ordered the stunning "Mikaylove Original Design Necklace in Turquoise & Grey" for myself since I love the colour combo and bib necklaces are so popular right now! Isn't it gorgeous?
I also ordered the "Double Wrap Bracelet in Mint Green" since I love this colour. I think peach and mint green go so well together!
The little "Mikaylove" tag of authenticity on each piece is very cute too :)
I think that all of the Mikaylove pieces are affordable, with prices comparable to those found in retail chain stores, except these pieces are all handmade! I am all for supporting handmade artisans and moms who are working from home. Kay has many different pieces available in a vast array of colours (see pic below for more of her designs). Please check out her store HERE to see her collections! You can also find Mikaylove on instagram too (@Mikayloveinc).
Kay has been generous enough to offer THREE GIVEAWAYS for my readers! In order to enter, please visit the Mikaylove Etsy store HERE and select your FAVOURITE PIECE. There are three ways to enter (one winner will receive their selected favourite piece from each of the following groups):
(1) Blog comments: Leave a comment on this blog post, stating your favourite piece (e.g. "I love the Cross Weave Bracelet in Cream"). One comment per person please.

Tip: Take Pictures of Your Spaces
Yesterday, we learned an important home improvement tip firsthand: taking a picture of a room helps you back away and see it from a different perspective. This is something we all know here at Apartment Therapy, right? Because every day we look at pictures of rooms and think about what we do like and what we would change.
We knew we liked elements of our bath, but there was a lack of cohesiveness that was bothering us. By taking pictures and stepping back, we have developed some ideas for little quirks that could make a big impact: changing out patterned towels for neutrals, replacing the bamboo tray with a white tray, and more &mdash all ideas that will help us streamline our bath.
Have you done this and found that it helps?

An artist "trick" I use is to look at my projects in a mirror. Somehow this provides a more objective perspective. I just tried looking at my den with a mirror. It's more cluttered than I thought!
I do the mirror thing too! I'm not really quite sure why it works, but it's a lot easier to see how things actually work.
I just found how this works after I took pictures last week of how my new artwork looked to send to my mom. What I noticed in the pictures, however, was the clutter. Seeing it on film somehow made it more noticible!
I use this all the time - it's one of the few design tricks I figured out myself (pats self on back). I started using it at home, and them for my events, and I'm really liking the results.

Warriors abandon arena on the water plan, buy land in Mission Bay area of San Francisco arena

Dodgers Owner Peter Guber Right To Preach Patience, But They Traded To "Send Signals"?

Maybe reason for earthquakes?!
Per Fox News: 11/17/10
Israel Hands Over Land to Lebanon
The Israeli cabinet has authorized the pull-out from one of the most sensitive locations along the border with Lebanon, the village of Ghajar.
The village of Ghajar is divided into Israeli and Lebanese territory. There is an Israeli Military Check post in the entrance to the village, and a fence surrounding the entire village, but no fence or barrier dividing the Israeli and Lebanese sides of the village
Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 effectively cut the village in half, leaving residents of the northern part – which is inside Lebanese territory – in limbo. Lebanon does not enforce its sovereignty there, and there is some Hezbollah Presence in the village. The open border between the two parts of the village has also made it attractive for smugglers of weapons and drugs.
During the past two years Israel and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) have been conducting ongoing negotiations over the village's security arrangements, as well as regulations that would allow the residents of the northern portion of the village, who are Israeli citizens, to continue receiving essential services from Israel.
Control of the territory would then be transferred to the UNIFIL, which would also be responsible for preventing terrorists and criminals from crossing through the village.

ESBON, TEXAS. Esbon, near San Fernando Creek in northwestern Llano County, was originally called Simpson's Bend for five Simpson brothers who settled at the site. The settlement was a post office as early as 1904, and Jeff Harlow, the postmaster, built a gin there by 1914. Esbon reported a store and a population of twenty-five from 1933 to the late 1940s; during the mid-1960s its population was estimated at thirty. In the early 1980s the Esbon community was named on county highway maps, but no buildings were shown at the site.

When Love Is Not Enough… this is the recent movie of Winona Ryder. When you look closely at her fake photos you can see the answer to the latter. When love is not enough, well at least she gets happily fucked up! Seriously, the edited photos of her seems real and I was wondering how horny she is in real life. Most of the fans out there really wants to know some sex-whereabouts of hot celebrities. And since it's really hard to invade their private "sex" life, just satisfy yourself with these photos. This is a rare chance to see her sucking huge cock and taking it in her cunt until she gets cum on her tits.
There's more amazing fake celebrity photos dedicated to all fanatics out there. CLICK HERE!

Skating with Celebrity winners, Kristy Swanson and Lloyd Eisler, recently celebrated their nuptials on Feb 7. But, this weekend gave them yet another occasion to throw a grand party- their son Magnus's 2nd birthday. And, the birthday was celebrated in such style, 2 year old Magnus is certainly not complaining.
The birthday bash was held at the Tree House Social Club in Los Angeles and had more than 80 invited guests. The guests were treated to cupcakes from Crumbs Bake Shop and were entertained by singing group, The Jumpitz, who incidentally also sang for Tori Spelling's son Liam and daughter Stella two weeks ago.
Swanson was excited about the entertainment and apparently, so was Magnus. Swanson exclaims, "Magnus was in the middle of the dance floor performing with them." The hosts and the guests all seem to unanimously agree that the birthday bash was "over the top fun!"
Swanson created a sensation as she lost 45 lbs. in time for her wedding. She says that Eisler and her plan to take a honeymoon at a later date. "There was so much to do before the wedding," says the actress. "I didn't want to crash and burn and end up spending my honeymoon sleeping."
When quizzed about how she feels about called Eisler her husband after such a long time of being together, she says, "I like it," She adds, "Sometimes I jokingly call him my wife because he's such a Suzy Homemaker. He's great at doing the laundry and he's so good around the house. He's a wonderful team player."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I can understand peoples frustration at the fact that there will be a huge influx of Plate Melee trying to respec/queue/reforge in order to get the new "goodies". However, people should remember why it has come to this in the first place.
Having leveled ALL tank and healer classes to 85, and gained a great deal of experience in raids/instances since vanilla, I can catergorically say that the main reason for Tanks/Healers refusing to 'PUG' it, is the fact that they are subjected to a great deal of abuse. I consider myself as a pretty thick skinned person, but I have reached a point where i will not even consider Pugging it, even for the daily!
The LFG/LFD tools are very good, however because of the cross realm system, it allows people to safely sit behind there keyboard, knowing that within 30mins they can be back in there own realm safe and sound free from any backlash, and so they can bully/abuse/harrass to their hearts content! I know that alot of it comes from immaturity and frustration, but sometimes it just pure malice. One recent example was in HC DM the other day. The tank and dps shammy were guildies, who continually vented the ususal bile of "gogogogo, noob, etc etc" aswell as unleashing all their fury at the poor DPS warrior, who altho lacking DPS, was doing his part. At the end of the instance, 2 of us were dead after the boss went down, and both the tank(pala) and shammy refused to res people, because they claimed a bug stopped them casting the spell on players with less than 5k dps....., and then refused to loot the boss or leave the dungeon until we had left the group...
This sort of behaviour is becoming all to commonplace, and the fact that as a Tank/Healer, one is subjected to MORE on a daily basis due to the fact that you can complete more instances. It gets to a stage where enough is enough, and you stop doing the pugs.
Yes of course, the whole 'Guild Party' thing is encouraged, but for some it just isn't viable, and the LFG/LFD is the only way to progress. Perhaps an answer to this is for Blizzard to pay more attention to some of the abuse/harrasment reports that are submitted, and take firmer action against repeat offenders, AND, make it publicly known to the community that players have been dealt with, in order to deter this behaviour. This will either have an effect on peoples attitudes, and make them see the error of their ways, or at the very least, just deter them from queueing due to the threat of Bans etc.
I applaud Blizzard on addressing the issue of long queue times, and wish them all the best in this venture, however they do need to address the underlying issues that are causing the 'Long Queues'. At the moment, in this current climate of the game, 'Behaviour' is topping the bill in these "Issues".

Source: University of Nebraska
Dung beetles haven't gotten much attention for the service they perform. Rolling and burying balls of dung isn't everybody's idea of a glamorous job.
But a University of Nebraska-Lincoln researcher says the insects are a key component in the health of Nebraska's rangelands, which cover the majority of the state. And healthy rangeland is a foundation of beef production, the largest segment of Nebraska's No. 1 industry, agriculture.
Sean Whipple, post-doctorate research associate based at the UNL Panhandle Research and Extension Center at Scottsbluff, is starting a project aimed at increasing our understanding of how dung beetles carry out their humble role. More specifically, he hopes to determine whether dung beetles prefer the taste of certain cow patties over others, based on the quality of forage that the cattle ingest.
Whipple said this knowledge could point the way to better range management.
The research project
The project is being conducted by Whipple with a pair of specialists at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center: Jeff Bradshaw, extension entomology specialist, and Karla Jenkins, cow-calf/range management specialist. Jeanna Jenkins, an undergrad animal science major, also will be assisting this summer. She is partially supported through UNL's UCARE (Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experience) Program.
It will involve an array of pitfall traps (5-gallon buckets) buried into some of the 1,600 acres of range at UNL's High Plains Ag Lab near Sidney. Cow dung produced from several diets of varying forage quality will be compared in their ability to attract the beetles.
For such a humble subject, Whipple's dung beetle research has gotten a lot of attention in the past several weeks, going viral on the Web and attracting notice from some top scientific web sites.
It started with a publication written by Whipple in the journal Environmental Entomology, which was posted on the Entomological Society of America's web site. Science Daily, a web site with a readership of 2 million in North America alone, soon picked it up, and within a day or two it had shown up on more than 50 websites, Whipple said. He's been contacted for interviews by National Geographic News and GEO, a German magazine.
Dung beetles
The article that's getting the attention actually describes research performed earlier by Whipple and W. Wyatt Hoback into the beetles' preference for dung from exotic species (in zoos or game farms, for example) compared to native species.
There are thousands of species of dung beetles, most of them scarab beetles. Not only do dung beetles directly benefit livestock production, but they also play a valuable role in nutrient cycling and rangeland health, Whipple explains.
"Most people associate dung beetles with the ones that roll the ball that you see on TV," he said, and they also associate them with Africa more than North America. But he said Nebraska has more than 50 species of dung beetles. In the Panhandle, where this project will take place, there are upwards of 20 fairly common species.
Each cow in a herd will produce up to 20 dung pats per day. Dung beetles break them down faster and more efficiently than other agents, such as weathering or other types of small critters such as ants, termites or earthworms, Whipple said.

This Week in AidData: Kenya Open Data Struggles; Colombia gets Mapped
Monday, December 17, 2012 Author:
Open Data
The entire micro dataset of the Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) has been published on the Open Data Microdata Library. However, as Alanna Shaikh discussed on the blog Blood and Milk, data is not information; information is what data turns into after you analyze it.
Development Gateway and Transparencia por Colombiahave visually mapped development projects, transparency at the local level, and poverty rates in Colombia to see how well they relate to each other.
Kenya used crowdsourcing to respond to the transportation strike in Nairobi, and is not the first time crowdsourcing has been used as a social welfare tool in this African country. However, the Kenya open data initiative seems to have hit a road block even though it has seen an increase of over 200 datasets since last year.
The Open Knowledge Foundation is creating a crowd-sourced book, The Open Book, on the international open knowledge movement and is requesting contributions on what key events, inventions or decisions have contributed to this movement.
Devex interviewed David Hall-Matthews of Publish What You Fund on why complying with IATI standards will actually make things easier for NGOs, development consultancies, and other partners.
The OECD DAC's recent High Level Meeting highlighted the importance of transparency. Rachel Rank responds to the references made throughout the meeting on aidinfo's website.
According to a recent survey in Britain, increased transparency might help bring in some extra dollars to charities. The survey suggests that half of the respondents are put off from giving because they think charities aren't clear about how donations are spent.
Aid Effectiveness
California Representative Howard Berman submitted to US congress the Global Partnerships Act of 2012, which would change the US aid system to focus on mutually agreed goals instead of the emphasis on donor-recipient ties, increase accountability and oversight, and eliminate duplication.

Musical Prostheses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Digital musical instruments that are made in the form of Prosthesis are called Musical Prostheses. A group of researchers from McGill University Canada designed several digital musical instruments in the form of moving parts of the body like the Rib and spine.[1]
These prostheses like digital musical instruments would attach to the performers' bodies and would be used in the live performance of the dance and music. This system uses a computer to synthesise sound.[2]
The custom-designed, 3D-printed prosthetic pieces by the researchers Joseph Malloch and Ian Hattwick under the supervision of Marcelo M. Wanderley play music as the wearer dances.[3]

Just in time for Thanksgiving, The Advocate gave transgender and gender non-conforming folks a reminder of how we've been screwed over by the mainstream gay community. No, I'm not grateful.
The Advocate posted a poll on their website asking, "Would you support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act if gender identity protections were again taken out of the bill?" Here's what the results of this (I'm assuming very unscientific) poll look like as of this morning:
I suppose it's nice to see the overwhelming answer of "No." But the big problem here is that the question was asked at all. It's my understanding that supporting a version of the Employement Non-Discrimination Act that excludes protections for trans folks is not even a consideration. Barney Frank has said we are "beyond" the removal of gender identity and expression from the ENDA. HRC was the only mainstream LGBT organization to support a trans-exclusionary bill last time around, and they came under a lot of fire not just from the trans community but the broader LGBT community. A non-inclusive ENDA seems like a terrible political idea at this point given the amount of opposition among advocates.
So why would The Advocate even ask this question? Simply publishing this poll legitimizes the consideration of throwing trans folks under the bus again. It's genuinely scary to see the question raised, to see any credence given to the idea that ENDA without protections for trans folks could be politically viable and worth supporting.
The Advocate has demonstrated multiple times that they are a publication for those gay folks with the most power and privilege through, for example, their problematic track record on issues of gender identity and race. This poll cements the fact that this publication is not for me and does not represent me or my community.
As of this writing the poll is still up on The Advocate's website and is still accepting written responses. More contact information can be found here. Let The Advocate know how you feel about them raising this divisive question and even suggesting that ENDA without gender identity and expression is worth considering.
h/t to Kellan Baker.

It's really quite a shame that trans people aren't accepted by the gay and lesbian community sometimes.
I'm glad the overwhelming majority gave the right answer, and honestly I'm quite surprised because throughout history oppressed groups have been quite eager to advance their own fortunes at the expense of even less privileged groups (see: Virtually Everyone v. African Americans). It's certainly not a moot point, unless we assume that support for trans gender equality is equal to support for gay equality. Here in Minnesota Republicans demagogue trans issues to attack ENDA, and there's been a huge fight over whether the GLBT community could support a Trans exclusive ENDA. Given that it's been a hotly contested issue, asking the question seems like responsible journalism. Avoiding it because the community couldn't bear to face the issue would have been extremely paternalistic.
I definitely agree with this post, but can we please drop the term "FAIL"? It's just annoying, cliche, and juvenile.
How quickly groups established for altruistic purposes become all about justifying their own existence and calcifying around the status quo. That it would happen with historically oppressed minorities strikes me as quite human and quite unfortunate.
Well, the next time someone tries to put their finger on the pulse of the voting public by asking what they think of gay marriage or abortion (rights we should have/rights we already have) I'll be sure to condemn them for suggesting that these things are even worth knowing.
Sometimes liberal groups can almost match the religious right for fear of asking questions and risking dangerous or blasphemous thoughts.
Oh lordy. The problem isn't fear of the topic, it's the fact that the question is completely illegitimate and irrelevant – it has nothing to do with the current strategy on ENDA. I'm sure trans exclusion would kill the bill, but again, that's not even supposed to be on the table. The Advocate is legitimizing an approach that's already been rejected. That's how much they value the rights of (normative gender presenting) gay folks over trans and gender non-conforming rights.
Lots of times polls have questions in them that demonstrate poor strategy or a goal opposite of one that the majority of readers of the poll would like to see, which is why they tend to be choices in a poll. While I always enjoy your perspective, Jos, I do think that you're being too sensitive in being angry simply for the inclusion of the question in the poll.
what is exciting is that the advocate's readership gets it, and almost no one is for leaving trans folk behind anymore. but it's important to have the poll, so we can see how far we've come.
to give another example, if i was a medical marijuana advocate, it would not make sense for me to get angry every time i saw a poll on my issue that included a category saying "keep it illegal, marijuana is not medicine". while the fact that that is still an answer favored by some would be frustrating to me, i could take heart in knowing that each time the poll is taken, those answering yes to that shrinks each time.
but it doesn't really make sense to object specifically just to inclusion of a poll question, unless it's something really out of bounds, such as "should Obama be killed" (like that Facebook one a couple months ago).
Yes, not worth knowing. I've got you.
So once a thought has fallen out of favor, in this case thankfully, it should not only be pushed up against the wall and shot but also erased from the public record and the collective conscience? The Advocate asked people what they thought, and most people answered that they think exactly what you want them to. Rejoice or don't, but don't blame a newspaper for investigating changing attitudes on an issue crucial to their audience.
I think the question was legitimate in trying to raise discussion. The political strategy wasnt there and its my understanding that that is not Advocate's perogative.
As for trans people being discriminated against in their own community is true but we have to remember that sexuality and gender are not the same and people regardless of sexual orientated are socialized to believe in gender binaries and normative looking genders.

The Elitist Jerk said...
You my point. I guess I'll have to break it down so even you will understand.
I think the best should get the best. This does not necessarily imply 24/7 raiding, just 25 people who excel each at their class with solid teamwork ability and preparation should get the best loot.
Just like the 3-day raiding guild that calls itself who killed KJ. (if you seriously think 12/168 hours is too hardcore, GTFO of my WoW)
Is this elitism? Hell yes. Is this wrong elitism as in "WHAA I CANT WALK AROUND IN SHATTRATH IN T6 BECAUSE EVERY MOUTHBREATHING RETARD HAS IT"? No. Is this the "I worked my ass off for this item, therefore only those who worked as much should flash it in Dalaran" kind of elitism? Yes.
Now /shoo, you have to whine how hard naxx10 is.
