Nigeria does not deserve UN security council seat
(originally published in dissidentvoice, 12 May 2005, and is republished here unedited as in the original)
(originally published in dissidentvoice, 12 May 2005, and is republished here unedited as in the original)
IT NOW APPEARS very likely that Nigeria will, after all, hand over Liberian fugitive leader Charles Taylor (currently in exile in Nigeria) to the Freetown-based UN court investigating war crimes in conflicts in and around Sierra Leone. Thanks to the insistence of the US government, the Obasanjo regime is about to send Taylor to the Freetown court despite its long-held position to the contrary. The regime has until recently argued that it was against its "national honour" (whatever that means) to respond positively to the court's request to extradite Taylor to face trial for overseeing the slaughter of 1.3 million Africans in the west central states of Liberia, Sierra Leone and southern Guinea while he was president of Liberia.
The irony is of course not lost on any keen observer of this development. Whatever may be the US's strategic interests on this subject (possible Taylor links with al-Qaida, possible Taylor involvement in millions of dollars worth of money laundering, possible Taylor complicity in the January 2005 attempted coup in Conakry to remove the pro-American Guinean president), it has taken the intervention of a non-African power to force a disreputable African leadership to hand over the head of a fellow murderous African leadership to face trial for the murder of 1.3 million Africans – not 1.3 million non-Africans. African democrats are surely unencumbered by this irony. African leaderships have murdered 15 million Africans across the continent in the past 40 years in appalling spates of genocide. Even if the devil itself were to lecture African leaderships to stop murdering their peoples and, in the process, help prevent just one more African being annihilated by their depraved overlords, that would be readily welcome. African populations are under siege by brutal regimes replete across Africa. The peoples require unremitting support for their right to safeguard their lives and progress from wherever in the world. Not less.
If indeed the US administration has threatened to block Nigeria's current so-called "bid" for a permanent seat on a possibly enlarged UN Security Council, if it continues to keep Taylor away from facing justice, as some press reports indicate, Washington has done very well. But the Americans shouldn't lift their threat yet, even if Nigeria dispatches Taylor to Freetown. It is breathtakingly obscene for Nigeria to wish to be considered for a permanent seat at the Security Council given the ghastly human rights records of successive Nigerian regimes in the past 40 years including the current one where statecraft at best is run as some medieval baronial fiefdom. The US and the rest of the world should reject this "bid" out of hand. Not to do that would be to send the wrong signal to Africa – by rewarding a band of genocidist operatives who have the blood of Africans on their hands, and who have in tandem pillaged an economy whose resources alone could easily have transformed the entire continent.
IT MUSTN'T be forgotten that Nigeria inaugurated the current African "Age of Pestilence" when its leadership in 1966 embarked on the premeditated massacres of its Igbo population during a stretch of five months. One hundred thousand Igbo were killed during what emerged as the first phase of this genocide. The following year, the leadership expanded the territorial reach of this campaign into Igboland itself for the second phase. Three million Igbo, or one-quarter of the nation's population then, were annihilated within 30 months. Most of Africa stood by and watched, hardly critical or condemnatory of this wanton destruction of human lives and the sacking and plundering of community after community. As the perpetrators appeared to have got off free from any forms of sanctions from Africa (and the rest of the world) for what were clearly crimes against humanity, several leaderships elsewhere in Africa were "convinced" of the lessons that they had drawn from the escapades of their Nigerian counterpart: "We can murder our peoples at will. There will be no sanctions from abroad". As a result, the killing fields of the age stretched inexorably beyond the Nigerian frontiers: Liberia, Sierra Leone, southern Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ethiopia, Uganda, Zaïre/Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan.
In the past 40 years, Nigeria has been run by a succession of genocidist generals and other operatives (military and civilian alike) who planned, executed and sustained the Igbo genocide. The current head of state, Olusegun Obasanjo, commanded a notorious division in southern Igboland that committed indescribable atrocities as it overran cities, towns and villages. Neither he (who has been head of state for a total of nine years during the period) nor any of his colleagues (most of whom are still alive) has apologized or shown remorse for their crimes against humanity. On the contrary. In fact Yakubu Gowon, who was head of state and grand overseer of the genocide, only recently told the press in Enugu (political and cultural capital of Igboland) that he had "nothing to apologize" to the Igbo.
BEFORE he shot himself in a Berlin bunker in 1945, few would have expected Adolf Hitler to apologize or show remorse for his organized genocide of six million Jews across Europe during the Second World War. Hardly anyone, though, would wish to contemplate a Hitler traveling to Jerusalem today to address a press conference in which he would insist categorically: "I have nothing to apologize for the six million Jews my forces annihilated between 1939 and 1945. What I did was right". That would be unimaginable monstrosity. But this was precisely what Gowon did at Enugu a fortnight ago.
Nigeria's "bid" to join the Security Council could not have provided the world with a better opportunity to deal with the crux of contemporary Africa's malaise: the non-accountability of African leaderships who employ genocide and mass murder as a twin-track instrument of power. No country in Africa is more appropriate for the world to enforce this accountability than where the disease emerged in the first place on the continent – Nigeria, the quintessentially failed and genocide-state.
NOW is the time for the US and the world to insist that each and every member of the Nigerian leaderships who participated in the murder of three million Africans 40 years ago, and who in effect triggered off the chain of mass killings of 12 million others elsewhere in the continent must be made to account for their action. Besides, if Nigeria is ultimately forced to hand over Taylor to face trial for the murder of 1.3 million Africans in the 1980s-1990s, then his current hosts (Obasanjo, Abubakar, Babangida, Buhari, Gowon, Danjuma and many many others) must also be apprehended for the murder of 3.1 million Africans in the 1960s-1970s.

If the pet travels with you, it will retain a sense of identity. However, pets can become frightened and bolt away from you out of open doors and windows. Keep your pet on a leash when outside your car or hotel.
Occasionally traveling can upset your pet's stomach. Take along ice cubes, which are easier on your pet than large amounts of water. It is recommended that you keep feeding to a minimum during travel. If you are traveling by car, a light meal for your pet two to three hours before you leave is advised. If you are traveling by air, a light meal four to six hours before departure is recommended. Allow small amounts of water periodically in the hours before the trip.
Whether your pet travels with you or by another means it should wear a special identification tag in addition to its regular one. Write the pet's name, your name, the person to contact at the destination, their phone number, a destination address, or that of a friend or relative, in case you want to be reached.
Rabies vaccinations are a must for all travel abroad. Many airlines also require vaccinations. Check with your vet for the complete range of vaccinations required, and of course, check with the airline and country to which you're heading.
Check the airline's requirements to see if your pet can travel in a carrier that can be kept under a seat in the cabin or must travel by air freight.
Get the pet to the air terminal in time. Get there 45 minutes in advance if the pet is accompanying you. If shipping the pet, get to the flight terminal two hours in advance of your flight.

I'm guessing that the eBand Search scam is either doing really poorly or really well because there are some new versions of the same email going around. With Companies as well respected as eZ Auctions and Consumer Business Bureau how can you possibly lose a lot of money and/or your identity? Consumer Business Bureau is set up to look like a sort of Better Business Bureau entity (an actual and legitimate organization), which makes it especially disturbing because it is kind of mocking the people getting scammed.
The one thing absolutely consistent between all the scam emails I've gotten from these folks is the space between my name (thank you, CareerBuilder.com) and the comma. Another is that the link to apply always ends: careers.aspx?[an identifying code]. While clicking on this link probably won't do anything terrible, it definitely is confirming at least that your email address works.

words worth reading
i want to fall in love in the city.
after sunsets. bar talk.
a spare key to his place to slip in after work.
to make dinner in his tiny kitchen.
my little bag of make up and toothpaste on your sink.
we'd take the subway during rush hour just to puzzle piece ourselves together.
we'd share every park like our backyard.
i'd embarrass you with tourist pictures of us.
peeling oranges with my fingers to feed you on street corners.
we'd stay outside just to watch people passing by.
i'd hold onto your hand anytime i want.
i'd warn you when we meet. I am a selfish lover.
i don't mean it the way you take it.
i mean i am selfish in expressing my romance.
i love quickly. with any number of things.
i laugh too loud. too often.
i share too much. too soon.
i want you here. then i don't.
i want to fall in love with you while crossing the street.
during the midnight movie.
when i stumble on uneven pavement.
weaving in and out of tourists in a hurry and bumping against you.
i want to fall in love with you as i stare at the tall tall buildings and fall in love with this city.
- a poem by that kind of woman

Wow, I love that! I fell in love with my husband in a college town, and cemented the relationship in a small midwestern city. But after almost 5 years of marriage, I find some of our most romantic nights to be spent wandering this city, soaking it all up. Something about the tall buildings and quiet street corners after dark.ReplyDelete

Written by: Ron Hanlon, President & CEO, Halifax Partnership
Looking back on my second year as the Partnership's President & CEO, one thing is abundantly clear: this has been a great year for Halifax, and the Halifax Partnership.
The recently released 2017 Halifax Index provides a progress report on Halifax's economic and community development over the last year. The good news is we are among the top Canadian cities for economic growth, and last year was a record year for population growth. We are off to a good start in our journey, however there is still a lot of work to do and we must continue to move forward with a positive sense of urgency.
We all know and understand the demographic challenge our province is facing: our aging population, the fact that thousands of people leave Nova Scotia's workforce each year, and the shrinking of rural Nova Scotia. The question is, how do we not only overcome our challenges, but accelerate past our challenges to become the fastest growing, coolest, most diverse city in Canada, known as the best place to start, build and grow an innovative knowledge-based business?
This is why we have set measurable, long-term economic growth goals: a population of 550,000 and GDP of $30 billion by 2031. These are aggressive goals, and we have a plan in place to meet them.
A new Halifax means a new Halifax Partnership. We are reorganizing and refocusing the Partnership to drive the opportunity in front of us, with an all-in, go-for-it mindset.
Over the next three years, we will invest heavily in Halifax's innovation agenda and selling Halifax globally. We will lead the development of Halifax's Innovation District in partnership with private, public, post-secondary and government partners. We will aim to deeply understand the capabilities and growth opportunities of our innovation community and connect the dots to companies and institutions to fast-track commercialization. We will also expand our Sell Halifax Program to market and sell Halifax more aggressively by developing and strengthening business and innovation relationships in key markets.
Companies around the world are amazed by our innovative environment, educated workforce and global student population. Our job is to lead the charge to make Halifax the most inclusive, international, opportunistic place for business to grow.
The future has never been brighter for Halifax. Our TLC (Talent, Location, Cost) advantages make us the "best deal in Canada".
We're moving in the right direction. Let's all work together to dare to be positive and spread the word about our great city.

While analysing a recent version of the often adapted Trojan Dropper CeeInject we stumbled over following message in the malware (in plain text):
Hi Dear sniffer
If you want to find the net
You better put some effort in doing it
Because anubis wont do the job for you
Anubis is a sandbox system reachable on the Internet where you can upload suspicious executable files to. Those are run in a safe environment and changes done to the system during that run are shown after a few minutes. Obviously, malware authors are upset about those sandboxes and now start to prepare their binaries so that the malicious activity is not detectable by them anymore.

"You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you."
Eric Hoffer
OTTAWA—Next weekend, as Liberals are filing into their convention in Montreal, Conservatives plan to be staked out in the corridors with cameras.
They will be trying to snap photos of senators entering the big party gathering, so they can shoot holes in leader Justin Trudeau's declaration of a few weeks ago: "There are no more Liberal senators."
This tactic is among several laid out in a strategic planning memo from the Conservatives that fell into the Star's hands this week.
The Conservatives also hope to capture some photos of Trudeau posing for photos — to show that the leader isn't interested in policy discussions.
Now that this tactic has been exposed, it does raise the slapstick possibility of a snap-happy camera war at the convention: Liberals taking photos of Conservatives taking photos of Trudeau posing for photos.
Welcome to political warfare in the digital age.
It isn't often that the media gets such a detailed look at political planning documents, especially from the notoriously secretive Conservative party. Thanks to this windfall of memos, we now have a clearer look at how Prime Minister Stephen Harper's party intends to hold on to power after the 2015 election.
There's an old saying that the means you use to get power aren't the same methods that will keep you there, but Harper's Conservatives have turned that advice on its head by governing in permanent campaign mode.
The Fair Elections Act, unveiled earlier this month, is increasingly looking like the "All's Fair" election law, as the experts take a magnifying glass to the hundreds of clauses buried in the 242 pages of legislation.
The memos and slide show received by the Star this week are very much a companion piece to those 242 pages — taken together, a multiple-volume manual on the Conservatives' political machine.
True to their free-market philosophy, the Conservatives have tried to make sure that their most important political assets remain unregulated: advertising, their database, their outreach efforts with the "base."
While their planning documents are packed with strategies on advertising and loading the party's Constituent Information Management System (CIMS database) in advance of the 2015 vote, the Fair Elections Act makes no effort to keep the playing field open, transparent or level on this score.
Under the proposed law, if you have donated $20 or more to the Conservative party in the past five years, the party can get in touch with you without having to document the cost of that effort as a bona fide election expense.
There's another bit of wisdom, less frequently cited, which is useful to keep in mind when reading the Conservative memos. It comes from the late U.S. philosopher Eric Hoffer and it advises: "You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you."
Now, no one is suggesting that the Conservatives are afraid of cameras, but their planning around the Liberal convention is riddled with mentions of "disunity." To really frighten the Liberals, the Conservatives believe they have to portray the party as divided and fractious.
Granted, the Liberals have done a bang-up job of painting that picture for themselves over the past decade or two, but if Hoffer is correct, then disunity is a scary prospect to Conservatives as well.
It's no doubt why the Conservatives scrambled to whisper to journalists that the leak of documents to the Star was an outside job, not the work of a "mole" inside.
Yet this week also produced signs — in the documents and elsewhere — that everything isn't sunshine and harmony inside Conservative ranks.
There was the rather public spectacle of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty appearing to be offside with the Prime Minister on the matter of income-splitting and the bizarre sight of him sitting on the sidelines in Question Period the day after budget day.
In one of the Conservative election planning memos, the party reports that it has spoken with every member of the Conservative caucus about his/her intentions to run for re-election in 2015 — with one exception: "The only one who has not made himself available is Minister (Jason) Kenney."
Kenney, it's worth remembering, has been showing an extraordinary amount of independent-mindedness these past few months, departing from the Conservative chorus demonizing former Harper chief of staff Nigel Wright and publicly declaring that Mayor Rob Ford should step down.
Then there's this bit in the minutes of a Conservative meeting: "We need to rebuild confidence with caucus from the PMO and HQ (party headquarters.)"
These are hints that the PMO-Senate scandal has taken a toll on party spirits and unity; that the heavy-handed governing style exposed by the controversy comes at a price.
No wonder, then, that when Conservatives were trying to dream up ways to frighten their enemies, the picture of senators came to mind.

So we're having one of hubby's friends over for some grub tomorrow and I was thinking of making Tibetan. Mainly because I love momos like nothing else. So I was compiling the grocery list when I remembered what an actual bitch the whole Tibetan thingy is to make. It will require hours upon hours of cutting and slicing and frying and steaming and all that and really I just can't be arsed. So I decided I could cut myself some slack and go for Indian. So I sent hubby a txt to tell him (yes, food is very important and you cannot waste a second when you've made a life altering decision like this) about this and at moments like this I know I've married my Mr. Right.
Me: Change of plans. Tibetan is motherfucking pain in the ass to make and I can't be arsed. Menu tomorrow: Chicken (forecast*) tikka, saffron rice, raita, naan, mangochutney and some chocolate chip cookies for dessert cuz fusion kitchen fuck yeah. Any complaints?
Hubby: No complaints here.
Me: And this is why I married yo punk ass.
N'awww spousal unit.
*chicken forecast is a joke from QI. If you don't watch QI, you should, you savage. If you have a television in the jungle where you live.

Mayor Walsh today announced a $1.4-million project to improve traffic in Readville, including traffic lights at either end of the short but clogged and dangerous Father Hart bridge that has bedeviled drivers for years as they try to cross over the train tracks that split the neighborhood.
The city will also install upgraded signals in Wolcott Square itself, where Hyde Park Avenue and Neponset Valley Parkway also come together.
Readville traffic has become such nightmare that the city says has agreed to bear the full costs of the traffic-light upgrades at the bridge and in Wolcott Square rather than spending several years in possibly fruitless negotiations with MassDOT, which owns the bridge and DCR, which owns Neponset Valley Parkway.
At the Wolcott Square intersection, the MBTA bus stop will be relocated and the traffic signals reprogrammed to provide a better approach to Neponset Valley Parkway and smoother traffic flow.
The city will even try to connect all the signals to the traffic-management system in City Hall, to bring Readville traffic control from the 1950s all the way into the 21st century.
ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps will be installed at key Readville intersections.
The work should begin this fall and take about a year.
Free tagging:
More traffic regulations will
More traffic regulations will only make things worse. Ever notice how you get where you're going faster when the lights are out of order, and you can always find a spot on Sunday when most parking regulations aren't enforced?
Um, what?
We're talking physical changes and upgrades to roads here, not speed limits. As for parking, that's not an issue in Wolcott Square.
Election year promise
It's in his budget. You have to ask why it became a priority now but not when we were dicking around with the Olympics and Indy car.
Story at BayStateBanner
Capital Plan at budget.boston.gov
Capital plan interactive map
I surveyed the plan for capital projects in schools. What surprised me most about the budget is all the talk about investing in our school infrastructure, by the mayor, and relatively unambitious capitol projects in Boston Schools.
Instead capital projects include items like new furniture, broadband, building access and and security systems and window replacement. I saw no plan to fix lead contaminated water papers or new schools except for the ones already under construction.
And your candidate would do
And your candidate would do things differently I suppose?
That candidate probably received a parking ticket
on that bridge.
Maybe so, but ...
In that case, hooray for election years - they work!
And it's not like Walsh is just gifting something to the neighborhood. The Father Hart Bridge, which ends on one side in a really nasty intersection, has been frustrating people for years. In the greater scheme of things, it's perhaps a bit annoying that the state, which owns the bridge and the parkway, gets off without having to pay to fix the problems there, but Boston's hardly a struggling city with empty coffers at this point.
I agree. it's about time.
And we are rich enough to throw $100,000,000 on a replacement bridge for GE.
IIRC, your kidlet goes/went to BLS. Do you know if the exhaust hoods in the BLS science lab are functional? Have lab classes resumed?
GE and its economy stifling jobs should leave Boston.
Dollar stores and check cashing businesses are the green shoots of the new economy.
So weird how there's less traffic at times when no one is driving.
The signals they installed at Walter and bussey in Roslindale have been awesome. Order from chaos. If you are serious, you must be either driving when no one is on the road or one of those people who likes white knuckle commuting.
Your theory is good, but the reality of the intersections on either side of the Hart Bridge say otherwise. I never even try to go over that bridge it is so messed up.
I disagree.
It's when there are either no or not enough traffic regulations that anarchy on the roads rules.
One has to bear in mind that one's not supposed to stop in the middle of the trackbed(s) either. I'm not a resident of the Readville area, but it sounds like the traffic light is long overdue, given the set of circumstances there.
Roundabouts, not traffic signals
Great locations for a roundabout! More efficient then a traffic light, no future traffic light maintenance. Should be no problem with space at Hyde Park Ave (will need some land from the T). At the Neponset Pkwy side, not enough room unless considering a European style mini roundabout.
You missed a big something
The city does not own these facilities.
Another big something you missed: roundabouts take a lot of land. A third something: you need sight lines to run a roundabout.
There needs to be another way
There needs to be another way to access route 128. Most of the traffic is either going to or coming from there. Dedham and route 138 can't handle the volume and a traffic light will only back things up further.
But "another way to access route 128", if at all feasible/possible, probably ain't going to happen in my lifetime. And if the lights are timed well, the traffic should flow.
As someone who lives in the area and has to navigate those intersections on a regular basis, I am thrilled with this news.
Traffic around Wollcot Sq, HP Ave, Neponset River Parkway
is HORRENDOUS. Street layout (including very narrow 2 lane main streets) traffic patterns, Wolcott Sq itself (a text book clusterfuck). And the unusually (even for Boston area) rude, psychotic drivers doesn't help.
My solution: Nuke it from space.
Wasn't this supposed to be done by now?
This project has gone silent and another year has gone by...It was supposed to be finished summer 2018. I can't find any updates...Anyone have news?

Album: I Am Not A Human Being
Best line: "And I wanna tell you something that you prolly should know/This that Slumdog Millionaire Bollywood flow."
Complex says: Drake may have debuted some of these bars while freestyling on Tim Westwood's show (which Statik Selektah then flipped into a song he dubbed "Bollywood Flow"), but this version had Drake spitting a lean 16 that had more than a few quotables. Before letting Weezy take control of the track (they always seem to bring the best out of each other), Drake spends his verse outlining the differences between him and his competition. He may spit from that Slumdog perspective, but he leaves no doubt as to whether or not he'll score with Freida Pinto in the end.

This weekend, Banbridge Rangers will be going all out to secure their spot in the Premier Cup final.
They travel to face Camlough Rovers (all games kick-off at 1.30pm) in the semi final on Saturday.
Rangers won't have it easy as Camlough are currently sitting second in the Mid-Ulster Intermediate A division, only two points behind leaders Ballymacash Rangers.
If they're to make it through, Gers will be hoping for another strong performance from Davis 'Jerry' Philip, the St Lucian striker who has made a storming start to his Banbridge Rangers career.
He's netted seven times in five games and could be the key to unlock Camlough's defence.
Gers will need a better performance than the one they provided in the last meeting between the teams, when they went down 4-1.
Scarva Rangers are still going in search of their first league point of the season. Having had a tremendous promotion-winning term last season, they have struggled to adapt to the higher level of Division One, suffering 12 successive defeats.
This weekend, they host title-challenging Silverwood United, who are just one point off the summit with two games in hand on leaders Coalisland Athletic.
Donacloney have a great chance to reel in third bottom Armagh Blues. The locals host the only team below them in the table, Union Lusa, on Saturday hoping to pick up only a second league victory. Lusa, however, could leapfrog the Cloney with a win.
This weekend, Banbridge Town AFC host Loughgall Reserves at Cheney Park in the Reserve Championship.
At the time of going to press, Dromore Amateurs had no fixture and Rathfriland Rangers' match had yet to be confirmed.

As I've stated in my guest column for Maggie McNeill I'm convinced most people do not mean to harm others, and that most of the harmful behaviour towards sex workers and other sexual 'deviants' come from a combination of good intentions, bad information and cognitive dissonance reduction. Although people often accuse me of being too positive or even naïve about the intentions of others, my experiences tell me that a 'golden bridge' and a heavy dose of debunking can get us a long way. Oh, believe me, I get discouraged when I hear about another rescue-hype, more money for sex workers who want to get out of the business but no help for those who want to stay in, another politician sharing some dirty story of pityporn. But I think the real perverse sadists are the exception, not the rule, and people can change their minds when they're enticed to do so.
This week I spoke about BDSM for SPS-NIP, the student section of the Dutch Psychologists Association. I often do these type of lectures for students and professionals, and I'm always struck by how open-minded and concerned the participants are. Although many people have negative preconceptions about sadomasochism, they change their minds when they hear about facts and personal experiences. Now of course there's a selection bias at work here, only those who are interested and open minded about kink will attend my lectures. Still, it's so awesome to hear people ask "how can we change discrimination" "why is kink still in the DSM 5" and "what can we do, how can we help?".
On November 21st I will be speaking at the 'Ongelooflijk Genieten' conference by the Dutch Sexology Organisation about the pleasures of sex work and the sexual experience of sex workers. I'm not the only guest, they actually invited an actual sex working sex worker to talk about sex work. Say whaaaaat? Yes, that's right. Roos Schippers, an independent escort, will be speaking too. It's going to be an awesome day.
See, people want to learn. They want to know, they want to support others, they will open their minds if they're invited to. Good intentions. Good intentions, everywhere!

Heating Frequently Asked Questions and Tips
- Check that your thermostat is set just above room temperature and that the system switch is on the HEAT or AUTO position.
- The fan switch set to ON will provide continuous airflow. If set to AUTO the blower will turn on only when the heating system is running.
- Try to get the system to turn on by turning up the thermostat temperature to the highest setting.
- Check all registers to make sure they are open and unblocked.
- Check your power disconnect switch by the unit.
- Take a look at your electrical panel breaker box to make sure a circuit isn't blown.
Gas Furnace
- Make sure the gas control valve to the furnace is open.
- Check your pilot light.
Oil Furnace
- Check the level of oil in your tank.
- If there is low air flow from your registers, the air filter may need to be replaced.
- Press the reset control one time. If it shuts off after a minute or so, call Sabre right away.
Your home should be set up for only one type of heating system — either a furnace or a boiler. A furnace blows warm air through the duct system and a boiler circulates hot water through pipes to steam radiators. New construction homes and businesses tend to install furnaces because they cost less than a new boiler system and are cheaper to repair. Switching from one system to the other would be an extremely expensive process.
A furnace's general life span is between 15 and 20 years. Signs of a furnace that needs to be repaired or replaced can include pilot light outages, delayed ignition, yellow or fluctuating flame, abnormal amounts of soot or corrosion, fluctuating heat, and an egg-like smell from sulfur. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Sabre and we'll have a knowledgeable service technician provide you with suitable options for repairs and replacements.
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency measures the efficiency of the fuel used by your furnace. In the past, furnaces were allowed to be as low as 60 percent. In 1992, the government authorized a minimum AFUE rating of 78 percent. New furnace installations have a high fuel efficiency and allow more energy savings!
Monitoring the level of humidity in your home is a good starting point. A healthy amount is between 35 and 50 percent. Dry air can cause people to feel chilly because the moisture on their skin is evaporating. A normal level of humidity can cause the air to feel warmer and allow homeowners to set the thermostat to a lower temperature. This will help maintain your comfort and keep your energy bills lower.
When you have a common cold, a humidifier can alleviate some discomfort. The same goes for everyday use—especially during the cold season. Dry air can cause or contribute to dehydrated skin, sore throats, itchy eyes, and bloody noses. It is actually easier for you to catch a cold or the flu in dry air conditions, which can cause an inflamed lining in your respiratory tract. But be aware of the other extreme: A high level of humidity can cultivate mold, bacteria, and fungi that is then released into the air you breathe.
Immediately open the windows to air out the house and then call Sabre or your local gas company to report it. They will come and shut off the gas and diagnose the problem. If you know where your gas meter is located, you can turn the gas off yourself. You should see two pipes connected to your gas meter, one that goes into the ground and one that goes into the side of your home. Use a pipe wrench to turn off the valve coming from the ground (it should be in the horizontal position). Even if you turn the gas off yourself, be sure to contact Sabre as soon as possible so that we can properly repair the problem.
When you have a question about your furnace or boiler, contact Sabre's indoor comfort professionals to keep you safe and cozy in the winter.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures have officially pushed back the much anticipated release of Baz Luhrmann's ada[tation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel "The Great Gatsby" by around six months.
Originally scheduled to hit at Christmas this year, the film will now hit during the height of the U.S. summer film season next year, though no specific date in the May-August time period has been selected as yet.
Disitribution presidents Dan Fellman and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg also gave an official statement about the move. Fellman says "Based on what we've seen, Baz Luhrmann's incredible work is all we anticipated and so much more. It truly brings Fitzgerald's American classic to life in a completely immersive, visually stunning and exciting way. We think moviegoers of all ages are going to embrace it, and it makes sense to ensure this unique film reaches the largest audience possible."
Vandenberg added "Baz is known for being innovative, but with this film he has done something completely unexpected making it in 3D while capturing the emotion, the intimacy, the power and the spectacle of the time. The responses we've had to some of the early sneak peeks have been phenomenal, and we think 'The Great Gatsby' will be the perfect summer movie around the world."
While the move likely increases the film's commercial potential, it effectively scuttles much of the awards hopes for the project. Luhrmann famously takes his time finishing and refining his projects in post, no word if that had any effect on the delay here.
It also partly frees up an overcrowded December schedule which already includes "The Hobbit", "Jack Reacher," "Django Unchained," "Les Miserables," "Zero Dark Thirty," three comedies including Judd Apatow's "This is 40", and numerous high profile limited releases including "Amour," "Hyde Park on Hudson " and "The Impossible".

Today is July 28th 2009 and I am writing this small post to share my understanding on Gemini and Business Intelligence arena and specifically around Analysis Service.
Talk about data in Microsoft and the very first thing that comes in mind is SQL Server. Microsoft hardly released SQL 2008 and we are looking forward for next version of SQL Server. That is very ambitious.
When it comes to Business Intelligence problem, things like Reporting, Analysis, data-mining come automatically forms part of the solution. But there are few patterns that should be considered for developing an efficient BI solution. Before talking about Analysis Service, let's understand how operations are different in OLTP vs OLAP databases.
In OLTP databases, data is written in form of rows (relational databases). So for example, if I want to store two records of two column structure having (name and email as columns) the storage will go in a fashion:
"Rahul" "firstname.lastname@example.com", "Sabiha" "firstname.lastname@example.com".
Eeffectively, data is written over disk one row at a time. This makes typical OLTP transactions efficient since I can quickly read/write a all columns of ONE record somewhere in middle of 50 million rows. But when it comes to reading ALL records (let's say email of all 50 Million records), relational databases fail miserably in terms of performance.
In OLAP databases, data is stored in a different fashion. It is stored in the form of columns rather that rows. So if I want to store the same set of records in columnar fashion, it would be stored this ways:
"Rahul" "Sabiha", "email@example.com" "firstname.lastname@example.com".
The benefit and drawbacks are here.
If I want to read columns of ONE record somewhere in middle of 50 million rows, it will fail miserably in comparison to relational databases. But when it comes to reading a column of ALL records, this will be surprisingly fast (and this requirement is very common in Analysis: to read large number of records rather than one record).
So one thing is clear that columnar databases are better than relational databases for data analysis.
Another thing that need to be considered while designing analysis solution is the storage medium. Databases that use disk as the storage medium will perform very slow for performing analysis algorithms than the databases that use in memory medium as storage. Storing data in memory is fast because of the medium speed as well as saving CPU cycles. Although the durability property of ACID is lost in this process (since memory is volatile) but this still holds a good candidate for analysis solutions. Even hybrid storage mechanisms can be considered depending on the requirement scenario.
Now comes Microsoft's project codename "Gemini". Gemini is next version of Analysis Service based on the concepts of using columnar database and in memory storage, making analysis of data hell fast. Gemini will be shipped in the next version of SQL Server (2008 R2/Kilimanjaro).
The good thing is that Excel users can use its capability by installing a plug-in. Hence the term "self service analysis". Every user in an organization will be able to analyse data and take decisions using simple Excel. More here:
I hope this gives a peek about what Gemini is and how it will work.
Comments/feedbacks welcome.

Alongside Reviews
Alongside brings sanity to the in-house hiring process for start-ups and small business alike.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use. Great user experience. Well-thought-out pipeline that works right out of the box. Supports team collaboration on hiring decisions at every step. Scales dramatically from 1 role/10 candidates to 10 roles/5000 candidates effortlessly.
Cons: Site on mobile could support better UI for on-the-fly capture when interviewing on the road, but it hasn't been troublesome.
Overall: Our team has been using Alongside since it's early iteration as Qimple so we've had the chance to use the product as it's grown in features and refined its user experience.
If you don't want to read the wall of text below, TL;DR - Hiring for a start-up is never easy; you're not going to relinquish control to external recruiters, and finding the right fit is important. Alongside allows us to stay in complete control of our external hiring, letting everyone up through to exec management spend their time connecting with prospective hires to find the right fit rather than sifting through resumés. If you're handling your hiring in-house, doing it with Alongside is a must.
Our story:
We used Alongside (formerly Qimple) to hire our first non-founder employees with great success in mid-2015, and then used it once more to hire another round of team members in mid-2016, again with great success (5 roles, almost 2000 applicants, concurrently). The caliber of local, regional, and international team members we've been able to hire has been astounding, and put a lot of that onus on a high-contact hiring process supported by Alongside's tools.
Our executive team, individual division managers, and key stakeholders were brought into the hiring process for each potential candidate as needed - Alongside made the organization of candidate information, the capture of internal notes and feedback from the team, and the management of the ongoing hiring pipeline straightforward yet powerful.
My biggest caveats in hiring for complex, technically-savvy roles that require strong team skills is that there's a massive requirement to "get it right" the first time; strong people have strong personalities, and multi-functional teams need to gel. Team members left tech darlings and Fortune-500 companies, relocating halfway across the planet, to work with us. Our hires have all been high-stakes, and using Alongside has minimized the friction inherent in a high-contact process that sometimes required upwards of 12 separate screening calls, informal conversations, strategic discussions, etc. for an individual hire. Alongside allowed us to get the hiring backend "right" the first time, to curate postings in the best locations effortlessly, and use our time to qualify and connect with prospective hires as efficiently as possible.
If you're handling your start-up or small-business hiring in-house and you're not using Alongside , you're simply wasting your own time.
Recommendations to other buyers: Great ROI, especially considering the spectacular candidates we've been able to hire thanks to the tools provided.
Alongside makes me feel like a valued customer.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use and quality of support. I had a special requirement and they found a solution that works great.
Overall: Simplicity with creating and posting jobs, within our budget and excellent support.
Simple, easy to use ATS. Ahead of any of the competition
Likely Extremely
Pros: Layout, ease of use, logical flow of features, you can tell a lot of time and effort has been put into planning the build of this product.
There product is ahead of the competition, more people need to know about these guys.
Overall: Time saving
Love this service!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use. It's actually fun to use.
Overall: Alongside is fun to use. It's easy to create a posting and share it. But the most value is in being able to see all applications in one place, rank them, sort them, share them with others, etc. And the customer support is fantastic also. Their team always checks in on how I'm making out with a posting, suggests different job boards and listens to any feedback that I provide.
Alongside for the win!
Comments: It's been great using Alongside for a couple of our open positions - the build quality is solid, and UI/UX is top notch - customer support is also super helpful and quick. Our only complaint is pricing for startups like ours who aren't advertising on third party job boards - ie. feels like we're paying to simply have a place for our job postings to live (without marketing them). That being said, we're a startup, and so we totally understand that we may not be your target market :)
Recruiting at your finger tips
Comments: Alongside made my life as Director of HR easier.... from writing postings and then publishing them in the electronic world using a simple pick menu; for collecting and cataloging resumes in one database to allow for timely feedback from my team; to communicating with my candidates throughout the recruiting process. The Alongside Team provided great customer support and have always been open to feedback on how to improve their offerings.
Great hiring tool!
Likely Extremely
Pros: The ability to sort applicants, filter and share opinions with stakeholders.
Cons: Nothing worth mentioning.
Overall: We've used Alongside for a number of hires and is now our go to application when we want to expand our workforce. Easily shares resumes, opinions on applicants, great tool all round.
Excellent value
Comments: Alongside is a very powerful and intuitive tool that has provided a lot of value for our company. I really like the feature to communicate with multiple candidates at once, the customizable hiring pipeline and reasonable price.
Stiles Executive Search
Comments: Great company to work with still agile and lean but clearly are committed to succeed. I like the ease of use and the quality of people within your organization. Keep up the great work and partnership.
Great product to make hiring simpler!!!
Comments: Great product, great features, excellent customer support!!! Highly recommend it to anyone looking into hiring. The candidate we hired came from Alongside!!
Great experience all around.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The way it brings all applications into one central location for easy reviews and management. It's a big time-saver.
Overall: Lots of time saved. Easily collaboration. Some money saved.

OK, I know this isn't the normal nest collection and to some it is morbid and to others, quite cool. I found these prosthetic WWI eyes in England and well, I just couldn't help myself... so I bought 2 dozen of them in various shades of blue, brown, green and amber.
