Desktop shortcuts disappear in Windows 7
I guess lot of them are having the problem where the Desktop icons disappears. Today i found a Microsoft KB thought of posting it.
Desktop shortcuts disappear in Windows 7
Hope this helps,

Thanks Captain Jack.
I had some shortcuts on my desktop disappear. They were games ones from the start menu games folder, but the game shortcuts that were linked directly from where the games were installed were untouched.
Now, to figure out why the system classed those shortcuts as broken...

It is a strange habit anyhow to keep tons of shortcuts on the desktop - looks very untidy and are inaccessible when you are on another page. They are much better placed into docks or toolbars. Then the said problem cannot occur and they are always available.

Well whs, that is purely a matter of opinion. There are a lot of people using windows software and to expect them to all prefer the same desktop/shortcuts setup is silly.
After further research, I discovered that it is a system maintenance utility that is removing the shortcuts once a week. It is supposed to remove broken and unused shortcuts(3 months).
For some reason known only to micro-soft perhaps, it is classing any shortcut to a shell program like the games start menu folder or control panel etc. as broken and removes them.
If you have more than 4 of these "broken" shortcuts on your desktop, they will all get removed. 4 or less supposedly won't be touched. My temporary fix to this was to put most of my games shortcuts in a folder on my desktop and just keep the 4 games out that I am playing the most. I don't believe the utility will touch shortcuts that are in a folder on your desktop, but someone correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't had time to test it. Another fix is to disable the utility, but I didn't want to do this because it performs other useful functions too.
And for the information of people like whs who can't understand why someone would have shortcuts on the desktop... I have 23 games on my computer and I find it much easier to keep track of them all if I can see them in front of me on a daily basis. I don't like to use the start menu games folder because not all the games install themselves to that folder and I like to keep them all in one place so I don't forget about a game that I haven't played in a while.

Amanda Fuc#!ng Palmer stole our hearts
Has the darling Amanda Palmer found the best way to open a concert? We think so, as even before the opening act, the singer arrived on stage wearing a bath robe to perform her ukulele version of the classic Radiohead tune "Creep". No tricks: just her voice and a very excited audience. First seconds of the gig and already lots of thrills…respect!
The rest of the night stays loyal to Grand Theft Orchestra as the opening acts are none other than Jherek Bischoff and then Chad Raines with its band Simple Pleasure. A groovy rock with lots of loops, a certain American sophistication and a surefire talent that immediately seduced the audience: Jherek Bischoff's recipe works and the audience starts to get seriously on fire.
Simple Pleasure is taking over now and the dances formally begin with a lots of appearances form tonight's hostess, Amanda. It's all very happy and cheerful and Chad Reines is giving it all on stage to make the public dance. Next was a totally unexpected act that Amanda has invited. Bitter Ruin, a british duo, who came to show us very simply how to break it all down in just one song. Sheer energy + a cat and mouse game between Ben and Georgia: midway between a musical gig and a theatrical performance. A true tsunami of impressive charisma!
But of course: the one we were all waiting for with impatience is the one and only Amanda Palmer. And what better way to properly start than with an excellent (future?) classic "Do It With A Rockstar", mainly sung by the audience. But… wait a second… The gentleman behind the drum set is kind of familiar…holy hell! It's the mighty Thor Harris who left us mightily impressed no longer than a few weeks ago when he performed with Swans at Hellfest! It's funny to see him with a little velvet pair of shorts but, of course, that doesn't make him any less talented. This big gentle giant is impressive and will give all the energy he's got. And trust us, the energy is abundant, especially on the Dresden Dolls cover that pleases the audience as it should.
It's only when the queen of the night decides it's time that we start sliding into a more attentive and observant atmosphere with a magnificent version of "Delilah", accompanied by Georgia of Bitter Ruin. Another moment that testifies that these people are old friends getting together for a casual gig. No plans, no big management, no guidelines… Just pure friendship and obvious pleasure to be here. A cover of the distinguished French singer Francoise Hardy? Why not, we are in Paris after all!
That's also when Amanda Palmer decides to grip us from deep within with "Bottomfeeder" and "The Bed Song". I have to admit that I didn't really enjoy the studio version of this song…but the live version has completely taken me over and had myself shivering with emotion. I can also say that Amanda was herself almost in tears as well as a good part of the audience. But now back to a more festive and carefree atmosphere with two covers of the Dresden Dolls, the powerful "Girl Anachronism" as a final fireworks. It's hard for us to admit that the concert is ending there but unfortunately the curfew restrictions of this concert hall are way too strict and prevail on Amanda's will to continue.
Now even more famous after her TED presentation, the singer stays true to her reputation of being very close to her fans. In fact this was without a doubt one of the warmest gigs that I have had the pleasure to see in the past few years. It's so nice to have the feeling of an unexpected performance, some sort of wild cabaret. It is perhaps the secret of Amanda' success: the feeling that everything is possible while so many bands are too predictable and stiff in their performances. Because in the end, it's cool to do it with a rockstar!

Thanks to Marion for her help!

We've seen the headlines for a couple of years now, from Iran, Egypt, Bahrain, Syria, and other countries where people are rising up to overthrow dictators. A recent Monitor feature details the role of social media in this year's Arab Spring. One of my favorite headlines is from Wired magazine: "Tweeting Tyrants Out of Tunisia: Global Internet at Its Best."
That is social media.
There are more forces at work, but there is no question: Social networks are key components in today's efforts to overthrow dictators. Why? What's the power behind it?
The very design and fabric of social media has the grain running in a singular direction: Collaboration. Community. Communication. Sharing.
And what underlies those key qualities, but love? And as Christian Science teaches, love is the reflection of Love, one name for God as Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science, outlined in her description of the Almighty ("Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," p. 587).
I recently taught in a journalism history course that "linking" is at the very heart of the World Wide Web, where social media services reside. Tim Berners-Lee and his colleagues cooked up the concept of the Web because he was looking for a way for one computer to link to another computer; to share information, data, ideas.
So connecting (linking), sharing, and their underlying principles of openness and accessibility, are the principles on which the Web is built. Those are such powerful qualities and concepts that they can – simply, disarmingly – take down tyrants. As Mrs. Eddy wrote in "Science and Health": "Progress takes off human shackles. The finite must yield to the infinite" (p. 256).
That kind of openness, that kind of direct connection, is what authoritarian regimes despise; no wrongly based material power can abide by the light or the goodness that takes a stand against evil. In this light, social media can be seen to represent one of the five smooth stones in the shepherd's bag that David shrewdly used in his battle with Goliath, as described in the Bible (see I Sam. 17:4-50).
But can't social media be subverted? Yes. And there are instances – Iran is one example – where the social media-fueled uprisings do not, at first, succeed. But as with any battle with evil, it is important to "hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true...," as Eddy wrote elsewhere in "Science and Health" (p. 261). The glowing goodness of its design, its intent, its very form – is, at the core, connection: Love. That, plus the moral courage to stand against what is wrong, is a potent combination. Again, from "Science and Health": "Moral courage is 'the lion of the tribe of Juda,' the king of the mental realm. Free and fearless it roams in the forest. Undisturbed it lies in the open field, or rests in 'green pastures,... beside the still waters' " (p. 514). Note the marginal heading of that paragraph: "Qualities of thought."
So the battles are not easy, and the wins are not always immediate. But the quality of thought plus the power behind social media – love – is a world-changing force that cannot be denied.

text: Today was a work day for Sunshine. Since she was doing something particularly interesting, I tagged along. As part of a multi-national cultural exchange, Sunshine's employers, along with several local venues, have financed a leg of the Dana Leong Band's1 Southeast Asian tour. The band hails from New York City, the musicians are super nice, and they've been playing in places like Fiji and Papua New Guinea. Tonight they played the Municipal Theater in Sài Gòn District, Ho Chi Minh City. I went for both reasons: one, tonight was the very last day that the theater, commonly called the Saigon Opera House,2 will be open before major renovations; and two, I was interested in how Dana Leong's jazzy love-in hip-hop thing was going to sit with the Vietnamese audience. Of the former: damn, Saigon's opera house is beautiful: a light yellow French Colonial masterpiece of angles and curves and all the ornate doodads that one expects in French stuff. This theater was built as an opera house by the French shortly after colonization, then survived the French war to house part of the Southern Vietnamese government until after the American war when it was turned into a city theater under the unified Socialist Republic government. Since then the building's façade has been restored once, in the nineties. The opera house was due to close yesterday for an extensive internal overhaul put off at the last minute to accommodate Dana Leong. The band was great; the Vietnamese audience got up and danced. I'm not so proficient as to follow the occasional moody aimlessness of jazz; but I loved the hip-hop and was amazed by the deep-seated band proficiency displayed. The sound-check was fascinating: the one-hundred-ten year old stone and plaster chamber being a bit warmer than most rave scenes. [Cavin]

Industrie 4.0 and IIoT for Process Automation
The chemical industry is well acquainted with networks. Many locations operate in close raw material and energy networks. This is now to be extended to the data level – or at least the measured value level. For it is apparent that analog measured value transmission in chemical plants is often no longer adequate for future tasks. For this reason, the process industry is now openly discussing the topic of IIoT, Industrie 4.0, and using Ethernet technologies.
Process Migration to PROFINET
Seamless technology transfer: Standards guarantee the seamless interaction of devices and systems. But technical development never stops and the process automation world is already approaching the next technology generation. However, this time it is not about something completely new but rather about merging established solutions.
PROFIBUS PA Sentiments
In this article (and next month's) PROFIBUS veteran Dennis van Booma sheds some light on questions that some novice PROFIBUS PA users have asked recently. There are specialists all over the world who are ready to kick-off their first implementation of PROFIBUS PA. This is the legacy of the conservative nature of our industry.

Arctic Report Card
Tracking recent environmental changes relative to historical records
2017 Arctic Report Card Home >
Archive of previous Report Cards and videos >
Visit the 2017 Report Card
Arctic shows no sign of returning to reliably frozen region of recent past decades
Despite relatively cool summer temperatures, observations in 2017 continue to indicate that the Arctic environmental system has reached a 'new normal', characterized by long-term losses in the extent and thickness of the sea ice cover, the extent and duration of the winter snow cover and the mass of ice in the Greenland Ice Sheet and Arctic glaciers, and warming sea surface and permafrost temperatures.
Issued annually since 2006, the Arctic Report Card is a timely and peer-reviewed source for clear, reliable and concise environmental information on the current state of different components of the Arctic environmental system relative to historical records.
The Report Card is intended for a wide audience, including scientists, teachers, students, decision-makers and the general public interested in the Arctic environment and science.
Image Credit: Icebergs (Ilulisat, Vestgronland, Greenland) by Greenland Travel via Flickr
The average surface air temperature for the year ending September 2017 is the 2nd warmest since 1900; however, cooler spring and summer temperatures contributed to a rebound in snow cover in the Eurasian Arctic, slower summer sea ice loss, and below-average melt extent for the Greenland ice sheet.
The sea ice cover continues to be relatively young and thin with older, thicker ice comprising only 21% of the ice cover in 2017 compared to 45% in 1985.
In August 2017, sea surface temperatures in the Barents and Chukchi seas were up to 4° C warmer than average, contributing to a delay in the autumn freeze-up in these regions.
Pronounced increases in ocean primary productivity, at the base of the marine food web, were observed in the Barents and Eurasian Arctic seas from 2003 to 2017.
Arctic tundra is experiencing increased greenness and record permafrost warming.
Pervasive changes in the environment are influencing resource management protocols, including those established for fisheries and wildfires.
The unprecedented rate and global reach of Arctic change disproportionally affect the people of northern communities, further pressing the need to prepare for and adapt to the new Arctic.

The Spill: Utilizing the Active Method to Combat the
Growing Combined Sewer Overflow Epidemic
Morgan A. Burke, Student ASLA, Allison Harness, Student ASLA, and Yi Hong, Student
Advisors: Kim Wilson, ASLA, Loring Nies
Narrative Summary
This study, undertaken as an independent research study
by three students, was an effort to develop a new approach to
handling urban stormwater runoff. In creating a new method of
handling stormwater,
the amount of dangerous combined sewer overflows that occur in
could be minimized. The students chose an interdisciplinary approach
and formed a project team of two landscape architecture students
and one civil engineering student. Their ultimate goal was to
create an approach to handle stormwater in an environmentally
economically positive and aesthetically pleasing manner. Using
University's Water Tower and Lake Shore campuses in Chicago
as study areas, the students designed and modeled an innovative
approach to stormwater management, called the Active Method.
This method employs natural infiltration to increase the time
it takes
runoff to reach the combined sewer; as well as, microbial activity
to attenuate stormwater so that it can be reused on site. The
system benefits municipalities by decreasing the number of combined
overflows and limiting wastewater treatment costs. Finally, the
system is designed as civic infrastructure responding to the
context of its surroundings and creates a new environmental and
amenity for the community.
Over the course of the semester, the students
were engaged in several activities in an attempt to find an approach
that addresses the
problem. Data collection included student interviews of various
professionals (city officials and wastewater treatment superintendents)
that were involved in wastewater handling and treatment. From
interviews, guidelines were developed based on the professional's
needs to drive the synthesis phase of the project. During this phase,
the students created several iterations of the project's function
and design. Concurrently, several hydrological models were generated
to evaluate and support the project's hypothesis. The students
reviewed these iterations with various university scholars in fields
of urban design, soil science; as well as, hydrological and civil
engineering. Finally, after data collection and synthesis, the
were able to produce the final solution. The research project and
its application was presented to Facilities Administrators at Loyola
University. Loyola is currently considering building a portion
the project so that physical research of the design can be conducted
to ascertain the impact of the stormwater management strategy called
the Active Method.

Ian Riccaboni, Ring of Honor's lead play-by-play announcer, remembers when fellow Pennsylvania native Adam Cole was a name known by only the most hard-core wrestling fans. Cole and a group of wrestlers from the Wild Samoan Training Center made an appearance on Riccaboni's public access show in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 2010. Cole was only in his early 20s at the time and largely an unknown in wrestling. Even then, it was obvious he had a future in the business.
"I remember thinking, 'Man, this guy's really handsome'. I say that as a married man," Riccaboni said. "There are guys that you could kind of tell who -- even from just the way they carry themselves in the mundane parts of wrestling shows, whether that's setting up the ring, tearing down the ring -- who are happy and excited to do it just to be in that environment. You could tell he was definitely happy to be there. That was very early on in his career. He's somebody that's just blown me away."
Seven years and three Ring of Honor world championships later, Adam Cole is days away from becoming the biggest free agent pro wrestling has seen in a long, long time.
Pro wrestling doesn't have a draft like "real" sports. WWE might draft wrestlers to Raw or SmackDown, but that's all part of the show among their already-contracted stars. What pro wrestling does have is free agency. Knowledge of impending free agents isn't as publicly available in wrestling as it is in the sports world, but every now and then, word gets out that the contract of a sought-after talent is expiring. On May 1, Cole will test free agent waters for the first time in his nine-year career.
"For me, I've been very lucky because of my relationship with Ring of Honor," Cole told ESPN.com. "I'm very close with everyone there, and that includes the guys that negotiate the contracts. Literally my whole career, the process for me is we go back and forth a little bit. Ring of Honor always has a great general idea of what they think I need, and generally we agree pretty quickly on what I want to do.
"For me, which a lot of people ask this, I still haven't made a decision on what I'm doing. This is the first time I'm going to check and see the interests of other companies and see where everyone else stands. Since 2010, I've been just in Ring of Honor this entire time and never even considered the options of anything else. I'm gonna kind of look out and see what everyone else has going on and what else is out there and then kind of play it from there. We'll see as far as negotiating any type of contracts, whether that be with Ring of Honor or with another company."
Cole has certainly improved his stock since 2010. The 27-year-old is regarded as one of the top young talents in all of wrestling. Imagine a performer with the upside of an AJ Styles, only 12 years younger. He already has won the Ring of Honor world championship three times, a feat no one else has ever accomplished. To put the achievement in perspective, only three wrestlers have even won the belt two times in ROH's 15-year history -- Cole, Austin Aries and Jay Briscoe.
His successful, nearly decadelong run in the indies has helped Cole to build up an all-around skill set that is a rarity in pro wrestling.
"In baseball, they say 'five-tool prospect.' He's well beyond the prospect label," Riccaboni said. "He's got all five tools."
There might not be five tools in wrestling, but according to the infamous "Bret Hart scale," there's at least three -- look, in-ring ability and promo skills. There's nothing Cole can't do inside the squared circle.
Whether it's his bloody battles with Kyle O'Reilly or his five-star, six-man tag match at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla in September, Cole has proved he can hang in there with the best of them. He combines his sharp in-ring work with the kind of pretty boy looks wrestling promoters can only dream of. On top of that, he has the ability to articulate his words in flawless promos that few others in the business can replicate. Perhaps most importantly, Cole has established his own brand.
"There's so many talented, good independent wrestlers on the scene today," Cole said. "But being able to stick out and have a brand or a catchphrase or something that when someone does something, you know that it's yours. Like, 'Adam Cole Bay Bay' is my thing. Everyone knows that if anyone would stick their hands up and yell their name with 'Bay Bay' at the end, they would feel like that's my thing. Or the Young Bucks' superkick party. That is something I think that people focus -- it's not that they should lose focus on the matches that they're having and the promos that they're cutting -- but they should put just as much effort into establishing or creating even more things for their brand that could help them stick out and be different."
Even though he has yet to reach his 30s, Cole already has accomplished what many wrestlers would be fortunate to achieve over an entire career. He has been the top guy at ROH for years. He is the longest reigning PWG world champion in the company's history. He wrestled in front of over 25,000 fans inside the historic Tokyo Dome at Wrestle Kingdom 11. But no matter where he might end up in the future, there's still one thing that has to be checked off Cole's list.
There's business to settle with fellow Bullet Club leader Kenny Omega before he's done with ROH and New Japan.
"The whole story with myself and Kenny is, the Young Bucks describe it perfectly -- they say, 'It's two alpha males who just don't see eye to eye.' That's exactly how we feel," Cole said. "I feel like I lead the charge for Bullet Club in the States. There's no question -- I'm not an idiot -- Kenny leads the charge for Bullet Club in Japan. Obviously, when we are together, it's very rare. When we are, we don't always agree or see eye to eye. As far as I'm concerned, I think you could expect or hopefully get to see a match with myself and Kenny very, very soon. We gotta have a friendly competition match where we could get this out of our system. We need to fight it out like brothers. Hopefully, very soon."
Cole can't help but imagine what a potential matchup with Omega would look like.
"To me, it would be the full spectrum of pro wrestling," Cole said. "Some people would probably laugh at some moments, some people would be elated, some people would be furious. The Young Bucks would probably try to get involved. There's so many different factors to what we could do, what could happen in this matchup. A lot of drama and a lot of excitement. There's no question in my mind it would be spectacular.
"For me, in a perfect world, I'm saying this because it's one of my favorite buildings; the idea of wrestling Kenny in the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City in our first match would be really cool. And then let's say we have our second match in New Japan at Korakuen Hall. That would be really cool. And then the third one, God, I don't know; maybe we'd be the first wrestling match on the moon. I think Adam Cole vs. Kenny Omega would be a really cool third and final encounter on the moon. At that point, we could make it happen. I think best two out of three with Kenny would be the way to go."
Rumors have heated up across the internet for months claiming Cole is WWE bound. Cole is "flattered" by WWE's perceived interest, but he hasn't had any discussions with the company. Although he's still undecided, Cole has a plan in place if he does end up signing with WWE.
"I would want to [start in NXT] because, first of all, I'm a fan of NXT," Cole said. "I think the brand is cool. I think the Takeover shows are awesome. I think the fans are great. I love the roster of guys. I think it's something that's going to be looked at as a very special time in pro wrestling, so I want to be a part of it. Secondly, of course in a perfect world if I went to NXT, I wouldn't want to be there forever; but I like the idea of going there and performing there and getting accustomed to the WWE audience and them getting accustomed to me and then eventually making the move to Raw or Smackdown. I think it'd be a lot of fun, and I think I would really enjoy working in front of that audience."
The eight-year ROH vet hopes his previous experience bargaining new contracts will help him make the biggest decision of his career.
"For me, it's always been a financial kind of scenario," Cole said. "I was actually the first one who signed the 'exclusive to Ring of Honor' contract. I was the first guy who ever signed one of those contracts. That was tough for me because I had no one to talk to. I had no examples to go on. I was the guinea pig. Of course, it's coming up with a number you feel comfortable with. Knowing this is the only company you work for and the only paycheck you get and making sure that's something that's worthwhile and something that works for you."
Today marks 9 years as a professional wrestler...we've come a long way, with a long way to go...#AdamColeBayBay pic.twitter.com/XBEuVol2HU
- Adam Cole (@AdamColePro) April 7, 2017
Cole plans on taking his time to come to a decision, even if it takes until well after his contract expires on Monday. He's going to field offers without an agent, an anomaly in the world of free agency.
"A lot of people think that's crazy," Cole said. "Some people do have agents. Some people do have guys that deal with things like that for them. For me, I've always handled my business myself. It gets very overwhelming sometimes, but that's the scenario you're put in sometimes. I do everything by myself."
And there has seemingly never been a more perfect moment in the history of the wrestling business for Cole to have as many options as possible. Cody Rhodes left WWE to compete in ROH, New Japan, TNA and several independent promotions all over the globe. Bully Ray left WWE and debuted for ROH in March. The Hardy Boyz left TNA, debuted for ROH (on the same Manhattan show as Bully Ray) and returned to WWE, all in the span of a couple of months. Whatever decision Cole makes, it will only add to what has been a wild year so far for the business.
"It's the crazy state of pro wrestling in 2017," Cole said. "Guys who you never thought were gonna leave WWE are leaving. Guys who you never thought were gonna go to WWE are going. It's the closest thing to the Attitude Era that we've had as far as not knowing where guys are gonna show up and who's gonna end up where. And in turn, it's created this really cool environment for the fans and for the wrestlers."

CEC boards U.S.-Korea film co-pro
EmptySEOUL – Specialty finance and investment company Continental Entertainment Capital on Wednesday said it will invest in the $47 million Korea-U.S. co-production "The Laundry Warrior."
"Laundry," which recently wrapped principal photography in New Zealand, is produced by Barrie Osborne ("Lord of the Rings"), Michael Peyser ("Ruthless People") and Lee Joo-ick ("Seven Swords") for their Sad Flutes production company.
The film's total production capital comes from a combination of CEC and third-party equity.
"We believe there is a strong crossover appeal for this film," Jeffrey Andrick, CEC managing director, said in a statement released at the Hong Kong Filmart.
Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Lee Sngmoo, "The Laundry Warrior" is the story of an Asian warrior who hides in the American badlands.
"It starts with a remarkable story and when you factor in marquee producers and a cast that includes Geoffrey Rush, Kate Bosworth and Jang Dong-gun, you have a film as promising as any other out there," Andrick said.
Launched in April 2007, CEC is a subsidiary of Continental Entertainment Group.
Kathy Morgan International is selling international territories while North American distribution rights are being handled by Osborne and Peyser.

Investors have soured on many retailers lately, given all the recent talk of cash-strapped consumers sweating rising interest rates and the high price of gas. So far, Best Buy
In the first quarter, Best Buy's earnings increased 38% to $234 million, or $0.47 per share. Sales increased 14% to $7 billion. Same-store sales increased 4.9%, which the company said resulted in part from an increase in average transaction size, as the company's revenue mix shifted toward higher-priced merchandise like flat-panel televisions, MP3 players and related accessories, notebook computers, and computer services. (Fellow Fool Nate Parmelee emphasized this increase in the price of items, as opposed to an increase in the number of transactions, last quarter as well.)
To what does Best Buy owe the impressive increase in earnings? The company attributed the jump to cost-cutting; it also improved its operating income, lowered SG&A costs, and enjoyed strong sales growth.
David Gardner recommended Best Buy to Motley Fool Stock Advisor subscribers quite some time ago, and in a Foolish Forecast yesterday, Fool contributor Rich Smith reminded us that David considers Best Buy an "evergreen" company, a leader in its industry. Indeed, Best Buy may face competitors from RadioShack
If you have any interest in reading about a large company that wants to retain its growth tradition, you might want to give Best Buy's conference call a listen; growth isn't just about the company's plans in China. CEO Brad Anderson explained how Best Buy is attempting to harness employees' input to make the company more customer-centric. Best Buy apparently doesn't want to lose touch with the people on the front lines; staying focused on customers is crucial to the company's plans to keep its growth trajectory going for the long term.
A quick glance at Best Buy's one-year chart illustrates investors' unease over the last couple of months. However, this quarter's heartening numbers, matched with a focus on its long-term position, emphasize that Best Buy is a stock for the long haul.
Best Buy and Amazon.com are Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendations. Wal-Mart is a Motley Fool Inside Value selection.

My Lilac Nails Obsession
There's one colour I wear on my nails more than any other and that's lilac, in fact I probably have lilac polish on my nails about 90% of the time these days. I love how it's pretty while still being kind of understated, and although pastels are usually associated with spring and summer I think it's a nice all-rounder and something I definitely wear all throughout the year. I have so many polishes that I love in the bottle, but when I put them on I hate how they look on me (my horrible pale pinkish skin tone is to blame) however I think lilac actually looks ok. For the most part, these days I try to stick with what actually works on me rather than go against my colourings. I've finally accepted the sad reality that things like coral lipsticks and blue nail polish are just never going to look good on me, no matter how hard I try! These are the lilac polishes I'm currently using.

The Models Own lilac is so pretty! I have the same skin type as you and so light shades sometimes look odd with my skin tone but those lilacs really suit you. I usually leave lilac for spring time and more grey/lilac for winter.ReplyDelete

Its frustrating having shades that dont look right on your skin tone isnt it. I need to invest in some grey toned lilacs! xDelete
Lilac is one of my favourite colours and it'll probably come as no surprise I adore Prickly Pear, I'm definitely going to be painting my nails with it again now!ReplyDelete

Thank you Claudia :) I agree you definitely cant go wrong with them they're cheap but such good quality xDelete
I've got the same OPI nail vanish as you! I love that colour so much and it's not too sheer like other pastel colours. Your nails are painted so nicely, I never have the patience to sit there and wait for them to dry so there's always weird sheet prints and finger prints on them.ReplyDelete

I've wanted this OPI shade since it came out and really don't know why I don't have it. lol It's the perfect light lilac for sure. :)ReplyDelete
All of these polishes look lovely, OPI really do come out with the best names! I never thought a lilac polish would suit me but I got a Rimmel one on a whim and it does look quite nice :)ReplyDelete

I tend to prefer lilacs with a grey tone, but I do like the look of Prickly Pear! xxReplyDelete

Sean Bresnahan with a piece on the potential for One Ireland One Vote, a campaign he has helped drive. Sean Bresnahan is a member of the Thomas Ashe Society in Omagh and National PRO of the 1916 Societies.
For the 1916 Societies, the most effective means to challenge global capitalism, in what is today a 'globalised' society, is to chart a return to national sovereignty – a notion which lies at the core of our 'One Ireland One Vote' initiative. This is an issue not only for Ireland but for other societies who likewise have been absorbed into the neoliberal economic framework, what many term the 'Washington Consensus'.
The problem in Ireland is further compounded by the division of the national territory. Competing claims to sovereignty foster conflict and inhibit efforts to establish a progressive narrative, instead producing a conservative and often reactionary attitude towards political and socioeconomic change. This helps ensure the reigning neoliberal order faces little by way of opposition from progressive sections of society, themselves weakened by the impact of partition on popular demand for change – even where it be in the public interest.
The current state of Ireland, in line with the origins of the current order, frustrates the outworking of normal left-right politics associated with more stable societies. Whether North or South, we are living in a reactionary polity defined at its root by partition. The basic instinct of society is to ensure dormant forces, that might threaten the carefully constructed facade of progress, are kept in check and a 'balance' maintained. Maintaining the balance assumes priority, with a hesitant public afraid should they become too vocal they might contribute to further unrest. This is as true for the southern entity as it is for the Six Counties – arguably even more-so given its perception of the gains made since 'independence'. Thus, there is an underlying aversion to anything that threatens the same.
An end to partition and a rebirth of democracy can offer a new beginning, displacing a reactionary paradigm that thrives on division with a confident and progressive alternative. And this holds true for all of Ireland. As such, our campaign seeks not just a British withdrawal from the North but societal advance nationwide. One Ireland One Vote is a vehicle to further that end, that a new society, where the dominant position of transnational capital gives way to the popular need, might go forward in a reconstituted democracy.
For the 1916 Societies, not only political change but socioeconomic change with it must flow from Irish reunification – change of a type that centres the narrative of any proposed new Ireland around core principles of sovereignty, justice and equality. Through establishing such a 'New Ireland' we can shift the paradigm away from reaction and onto a positive footing. It is not then partition alone or its legitimacy that we challenge but the economic consensus it has engendered over the course of the last century – and with it the society it has fostered.
We should not though retreat into strict nationalism, hankering after a mythical past as though globalisation and the integration of the global economy can be ignored. Instead we must strive for a community of nations where all of us, while retaining control of our destinies, work in partnership and with mutual respect towards realising common goals. In Ireland, the first step is to assert the right to shape that destiny, alone and without impediment. For ourselves, this can be realised through a national referendum that underwrites Irish sovereignty. This must be the focus of One Ireland One Vote.
A reconstituted All-Ireland Republic, with Irish sovereignty secured, can best confront the challenges of modern society. By returning power to the local unit, using that power to shape a policy framework where environmental, economic and social considerations proceed as first priority, we can face these challenges with confidence. In doing so we would offer an example to others in struggle, building through that example a fraternal association of nations as once envisaged by the great James Connolly.
One Ireland One Vote holds that the people should be free to decide their future, shaping together the society they live in. Indeed this must be a permanent feature of the political process going forward. By restoring the right to national self-determination it can impact on the design of modern capitalism, delivering a shift away from capitalism and towards an alternative vision, where people and not capital determine the policies governing their lives.
In an international context, it seeks a new relationship between likeminded communities, where solidarity and mutual respect form the basis of a cooperative association. In a global age, where powerful corporations drive the capitalist economy from behind, dominating national economies in the doing, it holds a return to sovereignty can transplant the reigning consensus, stripping power from capital and channeling it back to the people. One Ireland One Vote must set out to empower that end.

Where is the old site?
The old site can be found here. The database itself is in read-only mode, meaning nothing can change. It's possible some errors will occur due to this.
Do you guys have an irc channel?
Sure. You can find us on #unrealnorth on Quakenet.
How can I become a writer for this site?
If you just want to submit a single article (for example to promote a cup you are running or a movie you have made) you can just use the "Submit Content" in the top menu. If you want to become a permanent writer contact us, either via the contact form or using irc.
I have a bunch of demos that I would like to upload to the site. Where do I upload them?
At the moment there is no possibility to upload your own files to unrealnorth. I am looking how to change this in the future, but I want to make sure people do not use it as a free file hosting service. If you have a limited amount of demos lying around (preferably from a cup or tournament) send us a message on irc (this answer is becoming a trend).
I would like to donate some money to you guys. Where do I ship my money to?
Awesome! But we don't really need money to keep the site up and running (well technically we do need money as the site is not free, but we are financially stable to support the site). I am looking into creating a fund to organise better UT tournaments, but this is currently future work.
How do I change my profile information?
Go to the top right corner, click on it and edit your profile information.
I like the default avatar. How did you get them?
By default we (or wordpress, the system used to build this site) use Gravatar. It allows you to assign an avatar to an email address that can be shared across different sites. To this end, a site encodes a hash of your email (so that it remains private) and asks Gravatar the avatar of that specific hash. If no such avatar is found an avatar is generated from the hash.
So how do I change my avatar?
You can either go to gravatar, create an account and change your avatar. This should also change your avatar on this site. You can also upload a local avatar here by changing your profile information.
What sort of content is allowed on this site?
Personally, I do not like censoring people. Still, some basic guidelines shouldn't hurt. Do not post warez, links to torrents etc. Do not post porn, do not insult people too much, do not post private information about other people. In general: do not be an ass.

You can always send me an email (firstname.lastname@example.com should work)

Find out more about the iconic Lamy 2000 pen
Hi folks,
you know that I love talking about fountain pens, so when Dominic announced this month's theme I jumped at the chance to talk about THAT ONE PEN 🙂
When got into this fountain pen hobby I started with Lamy Safari pens, Al-stars and few Jinhaos. My collection grew exponentially in first couple of months 🙂 New pens are my favourite pens, so naturally I was always looking out for the next pen.
Lamy 2000 was my first 'serious' pen. First pen over £100 with gold nib – it was a birthday present from my parents. As soon as I started doing the research about the pen I wanted one 🙂 What's so special about it?
Youtube, Fountain Pen Network and reviews mention words like: iconic, flagship, Holy Grail pen, etc…
Flagship pen is the most recognizable, the significant one. Iconic means that it stands the test of time, remains popular and is still trending.
Can you believe that this pen (design) will be 50 years old this year?! To celebrate the big 5-0 Lamy have announced that there will be a special edition 2000 in September. We don't have any details on colour or finish, so my guess is as good as yours. Perhaps a golden one? Or see through? How about Laser Orange? Purple? Another Green ??? 😀
BTW there is a Stainless steel version of the pen – I had a chance to handle the pen (perks of the job). It felt substantial, very well balanced in hand and not as heavy as I thought.
My Lamy 2000 is now 2 years old and it has lived up to all the hype. I have it in handmade faux-leather sleeve and it has been inked the entire time. Kate dropped it once (I know, right?!), but luckily there are no marks on it 🙂 Piston turns smoothly and it holds good amount of ink. Stormy Grey (grey+gold) ink has been married to this pen for a good year. Recently I swapped for Diamine Night Sky because it has silver particles and matches the pen 100%.
Long story short, I love using this pen – it is one of my all time favourites. Going back to Youtube and reviews game me an idea for this blog post. This pen is what people love talking about, so I reached out to our friends who have Lamy 2000 and asked them what is it about the pen that makes it special. Here are their thoughts…
Mishka (^_~)
"The Lamy 2000 fountain pen is a timeless design icon. Whether you like it or not, a pen that has remained largely unchanged over fifty years is pretty solid. Not only that, it packs a punch – a range of gold nib options, a piston-filler, and a pretty comfortable writer that can easily stand up to being a daily user, all at a relatively affordable price – that's hard to beat."
Gourmet Pens + SBRE Brown
"Love the era of Bauhaus and Braun design from where this pen comes from. Because of it's ageless design it still feels fresh after 50 years"
Attila from Hungary
"I just wanted a 'next level' pen, and the 2000 with it's iconic design and high praise made me want it"
Victor from Norway
"I'm finding the 2000 all I hoped it would be. The build quality is – well – German! I find it a wet writer and very smooth."
John from France
"I bought my Lamy 2000 in order to encourage myself to write more (I am attending a writing course). I thought if I have a beautiful pen I will enjoy the physicality of actually putting ink on the page, not just the cerebral, thinking part of writing.
The Lamy 2000 is just wonderful to write with. It is so smooth it's delicious, and the nib is just lovely, very nicely shaped. I went for the medium nib and it writes really well. I wondered if I would find it too big but its brilliant, quite wet but very controllable with a lovely ink flow. My other Lamy pens are also fantastic (two Safaris and a stainless steel Studio) but the 2000 is the best. It is beautiful to hold and to look at – absolutely superb design. I love the fact that it has been in production for so long yet changed very little. To me that is the mark of good, classic design (just like the old red telephone boxes, London buses and VW Beetles!!)
Neil Gaiman didn't get back to me…but he did tweet that "Lamy 2000 is a glorious pen." 🙂

Some of you know that I got accepted, at a writers' residency program, in New England. I am going away for two weeks. My husband teases me every time we talk about the opportunity and calls it my "vacation." Hello, not worrying about work deadlines or cleaning for two weeks or guiltlessly drinking wine mid-week or writing endlessly doesn't qualify this defined period of time as "vacation." Or maybe it does. We'll find out!
I am looking forward to the residency. I have to say I was a little skeptical about taking two weeks off from work and life in NYC. But my husband very generously said, "You deserve this break more than anyone else I know." For once, the planetary arrangements worked in my favor and I was able to make this commitment.
Anyways, he thinks by Sunday of this week I will be whining: "I want to go home." I wouldn't be surprised if my dad and brother along with my husband have placed dibs on the Sweta-missing- home-deadline:-) Well, they all know me too well. Firstly, I loathe bucolic life. No kidding. The peace and quiet makes me nauseous. If you want to scare me, say "Hills." I have never been able to appreciate houses, for more than a weekend, on five acres of land and no passer bys. Secondly, I am a homebody who is rather resistant to change. I need my family, friends, and wine, and I am all set.
And traveling has its own challenges. I spent last afternoon exchanging emails with my friends and asking them about travel essentials. See, I am flying to New England, which means I have to obey airline weight restrictions - twenty pounds (I believe). That's what I am allowed or at least that's the weight my back can endure. As a kid, my brother lugged my luggage (I just opened a can of worms here. Let's not even get into what all I would travel with as a child) and as an adult, my husband does the good deed. In fact, when we travel together, the forty pound weight limit is distributed rather intelligently: I use up 35 lbs and he happily makes do with 5 lbs. I know, "happily" is over-rated, but he's smart enough to know that a "Happy wife" is the key to every successful marriage. :-)
I digress; back to packing. So, according to my friends, boots fall under "high-priority" essentials. I concur with them. Ask any woman. Okay, any woman with good (or even remote) fashion sense. Fine. Ask any of my girlfriends, and I swear they will tell you that life, for a woman, is barren without knee-length boots. The whole point of autumn is to bring out the hidden fashionista in you. Boots, scarves, good hair days etc. All in all, sweet! Sure, the winter lurking around the corners is not an attraction, but who cares when you can strut yourself in shoes that hug tightly around your calves and ankles and arm your hands with steaming cappuccino. The magic of autumn. So, last night, my boots found a home in those 20 lbs.
Now those wardrobe essentials are taken care of, onto food. Until a few years ago, I could eat every meal out. In fact, I would look forward to it, but with age, I have started appreciating home cooked meals. I still LOVE to eat out (I am a foodie!), but with the desire of trying out a new place or cuisine and not because there is no food at home. A confession: I need Asian food once a week, at least. Not Indian, anything Asian would do (especially Thai & Chinese). My palate goes into withdrawal-symptom-mode otherwise.
I don't know much about the place I am traveling to—in terms of "grocery" availability, which would have been immaterial a few years ago. I would have happily gorged onto local goodies and eaten every meal at a restaurant. But when my friend asked last afternoon if I had packed any "soul food," I got thinking. I totally bought her suggestion of carrying some comfort food with me – "Maggi noodles," "Knorr desi soups," and "Murku." Funnily, these items will never be found in my pantry, but I bought them because I know they will make me less homesick. I have been a boarder majority of my life, and I know the magic items.
Growing up, I wondered about people who traveled with food. My husband and brother have constantly made fun of the "Food-travelers-with-dabbas." But today, I am one of them. I'd never imagined turning into one, but I have. People change and age is a change enabler. With age, we all need things that soothe our soul. So, instead of getting my nails done after work and grabbing a nice meal with my husband at a restaurant last night, I bought chicken biryani for lunch (I am quite indifferent to lunch otherwise); drank "masala chai" at a very dear friend's place after work; and, cooked a lavish dinner at home (tons of food for my husband when I am away).
So, please send me your good wishes and aashirwaad and love, so I can put these two weeks to good use along with the"Masala chai" sachets I am carrying with me. And I'll remember to not snicker at the smell of "theplaas" at airports.More until next time.

Perfectly Optimized On Page SEO
How do I build the perfectly optimized page?
This is a challenging question for many in the SEO and web marketing fields. There are hundreds of "best practices" lists for where to place keywords and how to do "on-page optimization," but as search engines have evolved and as other sources of traffic — social networks, referring links, email, blogs, etc. — have become more important and interconnected, the very nature of what's "optimal" is up for debate.


text: "From the benefits of learning the Arabic language is correction of the tongue with the Arabic tongue which the speech of Allah was revealed in. Because of this, understanding the Arabic language is extremely important. But the sciences of the Arabic language are difficult in the beginning and become easy thereafter. It is the example of a house made of cane (the likes of sugar cane), but its door is made of steel. Meaning, it is difficult for one to enter, but once one does, is then made easy. Due to this, I encourage the student to learn the foundations of the language in order to make the rest easy for him/her"— Sheikh Muhammed bin Saleh Al Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) Sharh Al Ajromiyah pg.9

Valentine's day love story
Emily and Ted has been dating for 3 years. Emily attended two weddings last year, and she will attend three weddings this year, and she will be a made of honor for one of them. Emily loves Ted so much, she thinks one day they will tie the knot, but whenever she tells him about her friend's wedding, he seems little uncomfortable.
Emily likes to browse wedding magazines. One day she will wear Vera Wang (style) dress, she takes lunch to work at least three times a week to save up for her dream wedding. For an engage ring, she hinted Ted what she wants every now and then. The ring she wants should costs at least Ted's one months worth salary, so Emily has been very considerate to suggest cheap date. She doesn't want future husband to have too much credit card balance.
Valentine's day is coming soon. Emily has been little uneasy. Are we really be together someday? I will be 30 soon. I don't want to confront to him because I know some friends lost relationships because the girls pressured boyfriends too much. Emily glance at Ted watching college basket ball game with light beer on his hand.
"Hey look at this." Emily finds "Trophy Wife Since 2013" t-shirts online. "I think I'll give to Jenna for her bachelorette party." "That's a good one. Get a Trophy Husband t-shirts for Joshua too." They will get married in march this year, and they are Emily & Ted's good friend.
"May be I need to get one of them for you too." Ted said to Emily shyly. Emily looked at Ted with surprise. Ted continued, "You want Tiffany Novo look like, right?"

In the last category are those who've realized it's time to stop advertising and start staging marketing experiences.
What's a marketing experience? It's a physical or virtual place that's so engaging current and potential customers can't help but pay attention-and buy your product. It is using real, compelling experiences, memorable events that engage each customer in an inherently personal way.
You've heard of or even experienced some examples yourself online: BMW Films, the games Chrysler uses to sell its Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, or the Jerry Seinfeld & Superman shows. Consumers actually seek out these virtual experiences, rather than avoid, ignore, or put up with them while seeking real value in an activity the commercials merely sponsor.
One of the most intriguing examples of a digital marketing experience is the U.S. Army's Web site, AmericasArmy.com, where people can download a game the Army created. When individuals succeed as new soldiers in this game, it merely serves as boot camp for a greater experience-a second, multi-user game where players form a troop to go on a more complex and compelling mission. Those that do well here become perfect recruiting targets for the Army.
real-world examples
There are real-world examples that have been even more effective. Consider one toy manufacturer: American Girl, Inc., the makers of the American Girl Collection of high-end dolls. With very little advertising, it's grown from an ex-schoolteacher's dream into a hundred-million dollar unit of Mattel. When it wanted to extend its reach in the late `90s, rather than run a huge advertising campaign, it opened up the American Girl Place just off Michigan Avenue in Chicago.
Inside this 35,000-square-foot Place-please don't call it a store-are a series of wonderfully engaging experiences for girls, mothers and grandmothers (not to mention the occasional male who's either dragged into the Place against his will or who loves his daughter very much). There's a theater with a live play centered on the doll collection; there's a Cafe for a grown-up dining experience; there's a salon to style a doll's hair; and a doll hospital to fix one up as good as new. Before, during, and after all these experiences, shopping does go on-and the purchases become memorabilia for the experiences visitors have. Moreover, these same visitors buy more from the catalog, frequent the Web site to purchase items more often and tell their friends about their American Girl Place experience.
And when you head back to Madison, continue on 49th Street and have a cup of coffee at the ING Direct Cafe. This place was created by the North American arm of the Dutch financial services firm to expose consumers to its savings accounts and mortgages. Each of the baristas is trained to engage people in conversation about their financial needs over a cup of coffee. Does it work? Remarkably so: Each of the three Cafes ING Direct has opened in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles generates in the neighborhood of $200 million in new accounts every year.
Of course, they wouldn't be such a success if a certain company in Seattle hadn't blazed the trail by creating a distinctive coffee culture in the U.S. So why does Starbucks-on as great a growth trajectory as any company in the past fifteen years-do virtually no advertising? Because the distinctive experience of actually interacting with the company in its outlets generates more than enough demand all by itself. Starbucks understands that the experience is the marketing-the best way of generating demand for any offering.
And it's demonstrably so. Think of the normal way of measuring the efficacy of an advertising campaign: how many people are reached and what is the recall rate, divided by the costs of the campaign.
pay to play
Now consider the additional benefits of a marketing experience. Yes, more people can still be reached by a large-scale ad campaign. But of those who do experience the place, they spend not 15, 30, or even 60 seconds, but minutes, scores of minutes, and even hours. And when they do so, they aren't passively watching, but generally actively interacting with the brand.
OK, "Stop all advertising" goes too far. There are good reasons, particularly when one needs to reach tens of millions of people in a fairly short amount of time.
But before you fall back on the familiar succors of advertising, consider one more formula: ROI is the incremental revenue from your marketing program divided by the cost. Now you may not be able to exactly measure the incremental revenue a particular advertising campaign yields, but you sure know its cost, so let's focus on the denominator here. When you stage a marketing experience, its cost is not the only factor, for the good ones actually generate revenue in and of themselves.
American Girl, remember, charges admission for the experiences in its Place. Vans charges admission-$5 to $14 for two-hour sessions in its Skateparks. Lego charges for its theme park experiences. REI not only charges non-members $5 to climb its mountain but for the most part gets its suppliers to pay for the experiences in its stores.
With a great marketing experience-so compelling that your customers gladly pay you to sell to them-you actually can drive the denominator in the ROI equation down to zero, and thereby have infinite ROI on all the incremental revenue you generate. Imagine going in to the CEO or Chief Financial Officer during your next budget cycle and demonstrating how you will achieve infinite ROI on your next marketing campaign!
It's not fantasy. Companies are doing it today by thinking imaginatively about (and designing creatively around) ways of engaging their current and potential customers. They've stopped fretting about the declining efficacy of ads and innovated a whole new medium: the marketing experience.
So what are you waiting for?

text: So I was thinking about paying the $20 for this ebook (I guess that is what it is, not sure). I am interested in getting to the frontpage of propeller so maybe it's worth the $20, maybe it's just a waste of time. If you have seen this thing could you let me know please? I have to say that I am not overly impressed with this person's sales page (frontpageking dot com), but whatever... Actually if anyone has any ideas as to how to get to the frontpage of propeller, I would really appreciate a PM or a response to this thread. I haven't found anything that actually works for propeller. Thank you

Saskatchewan's provincial parks and recreation sites were busier in 2015 than they've ever been before.
A new attendance record of almost 3.9 million visits were made in the year, easily eclipsing the old 2013 record by 125,000 visits.
This comes even as wildfires burned out of control in northern Saskatchewan for a part of the camping season, creating smoky conditions throughout the province.
The SaskParty is attributing the record visitation numbers to nearly $92 million dollars worth of improvements over the last eight years.

No ordinary beach party
New London - If it's the first Saturday of the new year, it can mean only one thing for many in New London and Waterford - time to go to Buscetto's Bash at the Beach.
Former New London City Councilor Michael Buscetto III continues his tradition of bringing the community together and raising thousands of dollars for youth activities, libraries, sports and the arts.
The seventh annual Bash at the Beach starts at 6 p.m. Jan. 4 at Ocean Beach Park. Tickets are $15 at the door. More information is at email@example.com and on Facebook.
Buscetto, a lifelong resident of New London who has moved to Waterford, last year expanded the bash to include organizations in both New London and Waterford.
"These two towns have to live together," said Buscetto, who served two terms on the City Council and ran unsuccessfully for mayor. "I moved to Waterford, my restaurant's in Waterford. And many Waterford people have gone to the event over the years. Both communities need each other."
The first bash in 2007 was a "thank you" to those who supported Buscetto's successful run for New London City Council. Now, the event attracts hundreds of people and has raised around $300,000, Buscetto said. The Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut administers the funds.
The first bash included performances by the New London High School marching band, demonstrations by the police department's K-9 unit and some razzing of community leaders. Buscetto is the master of ceremonies, and no one is beyond a playful ribbing to get them to reach deeper into their pockets for a donation.
"I like to remind people that we need their help and that some how, some way, we have to support these organizations," he said. "I'm truly appreciative of how generous everyone is."
This year's bash will include donated food from Mr. G's, Recovery Room, Muddy Waters and Buscetto's own restaurant, Filomena's in Waterford. Buscetto said he is also planning some surprise entertainment. Items up for auction include Major League Baseball tickets.
"It's really fun," said Buscetto. "People tell me to keep doing it, so I do."

Urge your Saudi-skeptic Rep. to block refueling of Saudi warplanes bombing Yemen
Your Rep. is special - one of 31 Republicans who voted last year to ban the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia who are still in the House. At the time, 200 Republicans voted to allow cluster bomb transfers to Saudi Arabia to continue. So, in the set of all Republicans, your Rep. was exceptional in their willingness to vote against Saudi Arabia.
Call your Rep. now at (202) 224-3121. When you reach a staffer or leave a message, you can say something like:
"I urge Rep. ______ to co-sponsor the bipartisan Khanna-Jones amendment to stop refueling Saudi warplanes bombing Yemeni civilians."
When you've made your call, please report it below.
And if you haven't signed our petition urging Rules Committee Republicans to allow votes on amendments against U.S. aid to the Saudi war in Yemen, please do that here.

Here is some fantastic news related to the upcoming Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul: in addition to Breaking Bad fan favorites Bob Odenkirk (title role) and Jonathan Banks (the supremely wonderful Mike Ehrmantraut), comedic genius Michael McKean has joined the cast lineup.
If McKean's name isn't immediately ringing a bell, you may remember him as Lenny from Laverne & Shirley -- or the lead singer in Spinal Tap (trivia: he improvised his role throughout that entire film). Or from one of his subsequent Christopher Guest movies like Best In Show or A Mighty Wind; or one of his MANY television, movie, and Broadway performances over the years.
While I was maybe a little leery about how a drama like Breaking Bad could possibly be spun off into a comedy, I'm officially on board now. Especially considering McKean's character description.
McKean is the third confirmed Better Call Saul cast member, and here's how Deadline describes his role:
McKean will play a new character, Dr. Thurber, a brilliant attorney who is now restricted by an unusual affliction.
Okay, I realize that could mean almost anything, but given the fact that it's Michael McKean, I'm guessing that "affliction" is going to be funny as hell. (Can I say that without sounding preemptively offensive? If it turns out that it's actually a very sad and debilitating illness, well, I apologize in advance for gleefully picturing how this will make the most of McKean's comedic chops.)
In addition to this already-awesome cast, I think we can probably expect to see some familiar Breaking Bad faces showing up for a few cameos. Aaron Paul has already announced having had "serious talks" with creator Vince Gilligan for possible guest appearances, and you know Gilligan wouldn't waste the opportunity to delight us with a brief appearance from, say, Giancarlo Esposito.
Spinoffs aren't always a slam-dunk, and something that involves such a big shift in tone seems particularly tricky. I can't help fretting that Better Call Saul will end up tainting Breaking Bad's impeccable legacy by failing to deliver, but the show's casting looks enormously promising so far. Here's hoping it turns into another home run for AMC this November!
What do you think of this addition to Better Call Saul?
