Lavrov says US 'deal of the century' violates international law
February 18, 2020 at 10:02 am | Published in: Asia & Americas, Europe & Russia, Israel, Middle East, News, Palestine, Russia, US
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Munich, Germany on 15 February 2020 [Abdulhamid Hoşbaş/Anadolu Agency]
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that the Middle East "peace plan" known as the "deal of the century" drafted by the United States violates international law by giving concessions in favour of Israel at the expense of the Palestinians.
"The US, in its usual style, suggested solving one of the most long-standing conflicts of our time in one fell swoop," Lavrov told Italy's La Stampa on Monday. "In addition, Washington inherently ignored the generally recognised international legal framework for a Middle East agreement, which includes the UN Security Council and UN General Assembly resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative."
The Russian official warned that the plan gives concessions in favour of Israel which do not contribute to solving the Palestinian issue.

He stressed that the Palestinians and the Israelis should make "genuine" efforts to resolve the conflict between them, noting that Russia as a member of the Middle East Quartet could act as a mediator.
"In this context, we support the position… of Arab League member states on the need for multilateral negotiations on the Middle East settlement under international auspices. We believe this role can be assumed by the quartet of international mediators, which is the only mechanism authorised by the UN Security Council to support the Middle East peace process."
US President Donald Trump held a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on 28 January to announce the details of what was optimistically called a "peace plan". Its terms have been rejected by the Arab League, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the African Union, as well as the Palestinian Authority and all Palestinian factions. Commentators have labelled the plan as a "surrender document".

Yesterday I posted an outfit that was very similar to one originated by a blogger I admire and follow. Well, today's get-up is almost an exact replica of Ashleigh's from The Daileigh!
The first time I wore this skirt, I colorblocked with a black top and an off-white blazer and wore it to an event. I really liked the look, but I wanted to try something a little different and daring for the blog. I thought about polka-dots, but I wasn't quite sold. That's when I came across this outfit on Pinterest which was exactly what I had in mind, and I realized it was definitely something I could do. (Great minds think alike.) I opted not to go as far as the fur vest though because (a) I don't own anything fur -- not really a fan although Ashleigh wore it well -- and (b) Florida is no place for fur especially now that "winter" is over.
On a separate but related note, I bought this DownEast Basics skirt on eBay for $15 when its original price was $39.99. Now you can purchase it straight from the DownEast Basics website for the same low price of $15, and it comes in two gorgeous color options. Can't get much better than that.
Woah...that skirt comes in my size. I have to get this on Friday! I have a gold sequin skirt but it's not like this lol.
I really like the mix of textures/fabric!! I now realize that, sequin skirt can be worn in many ways!
Looks like I'll have to rework one of my DEB skirts! I have them both, but I've only worn this one! I also have a polka dot top from JCrew that looks like yours; I might have to try this look!
Tempted to buy the skirt! Cute!

Disney Conservation Fund
Disney Conservation Fund Helps Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Protect the Magic of Nature
LOS ANGELES, CA, OCTOBER 15, 2018 – The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) is the latest recipient of support from the Disney Conservation Fund (DCF) for the Backyard Bat Survey. In this project, museum scientists partner with residents in under-studied neighborhoods to track and record bat activities for the first large-scale study of bat habitat usage in urban and suburban habitats. The fund has been supporting local efforts around the world aimed at saving wildlife, inspiring action and protecting the planet with more than $75 million distributed to nonprofit organizations since 1995.
Led by NHM's Community Science Manager, Miguel Ordeñana, the Backyard Bat Survey is an opportunity to broaden awareness and interest in conserving species found in urban areas and to inspire city dwellers to become stewards of the environments in which they live. While most scientific research on wildlife is concentrated in "natural" areas where discoveries are frequent and spectacular, urban areas are often considered not worthy of study. This lack of data, and difficulties in accessing L.A.'s private property and developed landscapes, means there is insufficient information to inform land planning for the benefit of conservation.
Bats play an important role in the world's ecosystems as seed dispersers, pollinators, and as efficient and successful insectivores, keeping insect numbers at sustainable levels. In Southern California, the majority of bat species are insectivorous and are effective in pest control. Bat colonies eat millions of insects a night, keeping vectors of disease (e.g., mosquitoes) under control and saving the agricultural industry billions of dollars a year in pesticide costs and crop damage. Bats also act as indicators of environmental health. For instance, species like the hoary bat only roost in foliage, allowing their presence or absence in an area to act as a sign of habitat quality. Most bat species are intolerant of urbanization, though 16 known bat species persist in the L.A. area, thanks to special habitat modifications that allow roosting and foraging. Previous local studies focused on large urban wilderness areas, and little is known about bat habitat use of the urban core. In addition to filling major data gaps for the L.A. area, the data collected in this project will be incorporated into the Bat Acoustic Monitoring Portal (BatAMP), providing insights for the broader bat research community to develop an improved understanding of seasonal and migratory patterns across North America.
In 2015, NHM established its Urban Nature Research Center (UNRC) with a mission to increasing our understanding of, and responsibility for, local wildlife. UNRC spearheads programs, research partnerships, and special projects such as the upcoming book Wild LA (available in March 2019), an accessible field guide that celebrates local wildlife. "Today, the efforts of our UNRC scientists like Miguel are overcoming obstacles in remarkably effective ways," said NHM President and Director Dr. Lori Bettson-Varga. "Scientific knowledge is being advanced, while people in L.A. become inspired to take conservation action by connecting to and caring for nature in their yards, parks, and green spaces."
Recent DCF grant recipients were selected based on their efforts to implement comprehensive community wildlife conservation programs, stabilize and increase populations of at-risk animals and engage communities in conservation in critical ecosystems around the world.

About the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County
The Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County include the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park (NHM), the La Brea Tar Pits, and the William S. Hart Museum. They operate under the collective vision to inspire wonder, discovery, and responsibility for our natural and cultural worlds. The museums hold one of the world's most extensive and valuable collections of natural and cultural history—more than 35 million objects. Using these collections for groundbreaking scientific and historic research, the museum also incorporates them into on- and offsite nature and culture exploration in L.A. neighborhoods, and a slate of community science programs—creating a new natural history museum experience that explores the past, but increasingly addresses the present and the future.

Q: biblatex: how to match the Journal of Finance bibliographic style? I need to achieve a bibliographic style that is extremely common in the Finance/Econ literature: the Journal of Finance bibliographic style.
Using natbib has proven to be a nightmare when one needs a bit more flexibility.
biblatex seems to be the ideal solution (more modern, more flexible), but I have been unable to match the desired output.
Here is a sample bib. file:
@article{graham2005economic,
  title={The economic implications of corporate financial reporting},
  author={Graham, John R and Harvey, Campbell R and Rajgopal, Shiva},
  journal={Journal of Accounting and Economics},
  volume={40},
  number={1},
  pages={3--73},
  year={2005},
  publisher={Elsevier}
}

Citations should appear in the bibliography as:

*

*Graham, J. R., Harvey, C. R., and Rajgopal, S. (2005) The economic implications of corporate financial reporting, Journal of Accounting and Economics 40, 3–73.

As you can see, there are some important details about the bibliographic style.

*

*Use initials rather than first name of authors. If the author has two initials, a space goes between them (e.g. Denis, D. J. rather than Denis, D.J.). For all authors (not just the first author), the initials come after the last name.

*A comma separates all authors' names. An "and" comes before the name of the last author.

*There is no comma after the final initial of the final author. The year, in parentheses, immediately follows.

*There is no period after the year. Then follows the title of the paper, which is not in quotation marks. Only the first word is capitalized (except for any words that follow a colon)

*The title is followed by a comma, and then the journal name in italics

*There is no comma after the journal name. Then there is the journal volume (in BOLD), then a comma, and then the page numbers. The page numbers are separated by an "en" dash (–), not a hyphen (-). The full page numbers are given. For example, rather than 256–89, it should be 256–289. A period is after the page numbers.

Last, in the main text

*

*For any paper which contains four authors or more, cite them as "Brown et al." where Brown is the first author

*For any papers that are cited within a phrase in parentheses, the year of the paper does not go in parentheses, a comma comes between the authors' names and the year, and a semi-colon separates each paper, e.g. "Mergers and acquisitions are often motivated by non-value-maximizing reasons (e.g., Jensen, 1993; Grinstein and Hribar, 2004; Harford and Li, 2007)."

It it possible to replicate this bibliographic style with biblatex? Thanks!!

Start from the principle where it always comes from you.
Everything always starts from you.
Do you feel like these sentences can be guilty? And yet, to act with knowledge of this principle is a magic formula to put your finger exactly where it resists.
A house that is hard to find, a project that takes time to launch, a baby that is desired … Our life is marked by its own agenda that sometimes differs totally from the one we would have liked to post on our fridge. And why ?
Because we simply forget this sentence: "Everything always comes from Myself ".
If you do not find the ideal home, it may be because the criteria of the ideal decreed home have been combed through your mind that in good faith has analyzed what "would be best for me".
But I would like to remind you of a fundamental thing. When I say, "Assume everything comes from you " I'm not talking about your mind, your personality, or your graphical analysis of the situation. I am talking about YOU, your REAL YOU.
This being in you who may not have deep inspiration a pavilion 4 rooms St. Albert Street because it is located between the nursery and your work. He may not want to know the joys of motherhood now, when your situation, your surroundings and your whole environment insidiously encourages you to start it. And perhaps it gives you an indication of your fear of legitimacy and a lack of recognition that you try to hide by reassuring yourself about the viability of your project.
No, your true You, you can not fool him so easily.
You will have a hard time finding your home, getting pregnant, and still developing your project as long as you are not more transparent with your deep aspirations, not the ones your analyzer has declared as an official goal.
So, go from the principle that everything always comes from you and take the time to listen to yourself deeply instead of fighting outside and finding reasons outside of what blocks.
Behind resistances, there is always only your true BEING who seeks to communicate.

The Egyptian Dilemma
January 31, 2011 by Michael LaBossiere 18 Comments
As Egypt suffers through its latest time of turmoil, the United States faces a challenging dilemma. On one horn, there is the choice to stay mainly on the side of the current government. Given that Mubarak has been a consistent ally and opposed to radical Islamic groups, this option has significant appeal. If the current regime holds the day, then staying clearly on that side would cement the alliance even more. On the downside, backing a restrictive regime against a popular uprising is somewhat inconsistent with the values America professes and is not without the obvious risks.
On the other horn, there is the choice to push against the current regime in favor of the opposition. On the positive side, this could allow the United States to be on good terms with whoever replaces Mubarak's regime (assuming it falls). On the minus side, this would be harmful to our relationship with Mubarak (assuming he wins) and could also backfire on the United States. To be specific, not supporting Mubarak could contribute to his fall and the winners that emerge might not have any real gratitude.
Between the horns is what seems to be the safer course-say vague things about our ally Mubarak and vague pleasantries about the "will of the people" and "democracy." On the plus side, this commits us to none of the sides and thus avoids much of the impact of backing the wrong horse. On the minus side, such non-commitment means that the winners will not owe us and we will also have less impact out the outcome
What, then, should we do?
Filed Under: Politics Tagged With: Egypt, Egyptians, Hosni Mubarak, Islamism, israel, Mubarak, Muslim Brotherhood, United States
Do what we can to prevent the Muslim Brotherhood from taking control…
Michael LaBossiere says
Invasion is an option. We've had lots of practice recently.
By some expert accounts, the Botherhood is fundamental but non-radical and willing to engage in democracy. As such, we might be able to live with them just as we live with American fundamentalists.
magus71 says
The Muslim Brotherhood is at the roots of al-qaeda. The group sprang from the writings of a man named Sayid Qutb, an intellectual fundamentalist in the 50s and 60s. He was executed by the Egyptian government for plotting to assassinate several government officials. I've explained to people around here that Egypt is the root of fundamentalism, not Saudi. But the libs like to talk about Saudi so they can make America look bad for getting Saudi oil. Even though we get more oil from Canada than Saudi….I digress.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayyid_Qutb#Return_to_Egypt
One of his premier students was Ayman Zawahiri, another fundamentalist intellectual and second in command of al-qaeda.
Qutb is considered the founding father of modern islamic radicalism.
The reason that the Brotherhood appears non-radical is because Egypt was forced to become a police state in order to control them, just as Saudi Arabia was forced to control the Wahhabists. The Brotherhood has been fairly peaceful because of overwhelming Egyptian military power, not because they like flowers sticking out of the ends of their AK-47s.
Islamic leaders are constantly having to do a balancing act between appeasing the fundamentalists and doing what's best for their economy and welfare of the people. Witness Pakistan, where Islamists assassinated the previous Prime Minister, and then recently a governor who spoke against blasphemy laws. The leaders can never become too westernized because they face death by terrorists, but they can't really become full islamists either, because those types of countries cannot compete in the international markets (or have not yet proven they can) and because the Islamic extremists would kill them and take power even if the leaders try to appease.
The Clash of Civilizations is just hitting its stride. It'll prove much worse then anything even a liberal could fear from American fundamentalists. Read my previous posts about how words don't always describe reality accurtaely. These fundamentalists are on a whole different level–and there's millions of them.
True, there was a past connection between the two groups. However, it is important to look at more recent history. After all, we used to have working relations with some interesting folks in Afghanistan.
The Muslim Brotherhood appears to be a moderate group (at least by the standards of the Middle East). They renounced violence, have been highly criticized by radical groups, have participated in the democratic process in Egypt (such as it is) and seem to be rational actors.
We need to be careful in our assessment. On the one hand, we have to be on guard against the possibility that our decades of support for a dictator has radicalized some of the population and they might take power and be against us. On the other hand, we need to be on guard against demonizing the Brotherhood and pushing them into radicalism. We obviously can work with fundamental Islamic groups-after all, the Saudis are supposed to be our good buddies.
WTP says
The Muslim Brotherhood appears to be a moderate group (at least by the standards of the Middle East). They renounced violence…
Footage of Mohammed Morsi, now President of Egypt, has emerged showing his inflammatory and hateful comments against the State of Israel.
The clips, hosted and translated by MEMRI, show Mohammed Morsi in 2010 giving a speech to camera on negotiations with Israel. Morsi claims any negotiations are, "futile and a waste of time and opportunities"
He states, "No reasonable person can expect any progress on this track. Either [you accept] the Zionists and everything they want, or else it is war. This is what these occupiers of the land of Palestine know – these blood-suckers, who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs."

Two years later millions are on the streets in what some say may be the largest antigovernment protests in world history. America's Obama butt-kissing media yawns.

A.Mittleman says
While I realize the "Green Revolution" in Iran was different, some of the hazards still apply. The actions of the United States in the Middle East during the Cold War have not been forgotten and it would not be a stretch to be able to unite people against perceived US intervention in ME affair, especially as the long-term sustaining of these protests are necessary for "victory".
Given such circumstances, I'd say that a soft touch is the better option.
A J MacDonald Jr says
We should do the right thing: support the democratic people's movement over against Mubarak.
There is no real democratic movement. And democracy is not a cure-all.
Asur says
Well, the real benefit of democracy from a neutral standpoint is that it pushes countries to be driven more by selfishness than ideology — and selfishness is good; it's rational, hence self-interest is easier to work into common-interest.
The problem with things driven more by ideology than practical concerns is that they'll willingly hurt themselves to 'stay true' to what they believe, which is dangerous for everyone involved.
So, I do think that democracy is a kind of cure-all; I wish every country in the world were one.
There's nothing to prevent a democracy from putting the same corrupt, inept and violent people in power that other system's emplaced with military coups.
Afghanistan is a democracy. You should come see how well it works.
Democracy is a reward for doing the right things and it works when the cultural meme is right. Most of the rest of the world doesn't give a crap what John Locke thought, even when they try to put the band-aid of free elections on the gaping wound. America did.
The biggest thing I see wrong with democracies that don't really work well is a lack of consequences for corruption and other bad behavior. It mostly comes down to rule of law, not free elections. As much as our American culture hate the idea of kings and queens, there have been good ones that rules successful countries. It came down to everyone being subject to the law.
Point taken, though I ascribe to functional definitions; Afghanistan isn't a democracy if its democratic process is corrupt or nonexistent.
I guess you could have a democracy of religious zealots, which would then function as a theocracy in all but name…the difference between that and an authoritarian theocracy is that you can't get rid of the latter without a degree of violence — there's no built-in process to resolve internal dissent.
There seems to be a democratic current, but we won't know for sure for a while.
No, democracy is not a cure all. But democracy is good, right?
Yes democracy is good, but not the only good. Non-democratic countries basically cannot keep up with the democratic ones. But they have to crawl before they walk. The growth to democracy must be organic. And it needs a lot of things to go right before it works well. An entire populace needs a social contract that they adhere to. In many areas, the mere idea of right and wrong are not enough; you need a monoloply on violence. Like child rearing: A child does not do right because he wants to be moral, not until he has faced sufficient consequences for his actions. Later on he becomes introspective enough and builds inner motivations for doing right, not only outward restraints on his behavior.
I actually believe that autocratic rule works better when it comes to stabilizing absolute chaos. I know I'm walking on eggshells here, but I believe it.
Let it burn itself out.
Atlanta Roofing HQ says
I've been wondering about that: a crippled snow-bound East Coast metroplex and a crippled toppling dictator in the Middle East would, it seems to me, be an excellent time to take out Iran's nuclear capability, should a neighbor of Egypt be so inclined, which I think one, in particular, is.
Muslim Brotherhood takes control. This was not hard to predict.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest Islamic movement and the founder of Hamas, has set up a network of political parties around the country that eclipse the following of the middle class activists that overthrew the regime. On the extreme fringe of the Brotherhood, Islamic groups linked to al-Qeada are organising from the mosques to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the dictatorship.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/egypt/8457030/Radial-Islamist-groups-gaining-stranglehold-in-Egypt.html
"We are very critical of the Obama administration because they have been supporting the Brotherhood like no one has ever supported them," Shadi Al Ghazali Harb, a 24-year-old member of Egypt's Revolutionary Youth Coalition, told the Washington Free Beacon on Friday afternoon during a telephone interview from Cairo.

SERVICE WITH THE THIRD
of our companies at one time. We started in the morning, when it was as yet scarcely light, hoping to come upon the enemy unexpectedly. Their sentinels discovered us, however, and fired on us while crossing. We landed about a quarter of a mile from the plantation buildings and rapidly pushed forward. I sent Barager with his Company to the right, while I took the direct course to the rice mill, in which the enemy were sheltered.
The country was broken up into a mass of ditches, dykes, and canals. We found that our only road was along a narrow dyke, and that we should either have to return or charge them in single file. We did not retreat. In less time than it takes to tell this story, we had the mill. They gave us one volley and hit nobody. We did not fire a shot. They escaped with their guns and ammunition, but we captured all their provisions, including their breakfast cooking on the fire. For the first time in three days we had all that we wanted to eat. Colonel Hawley came over soon after, with three more companies, but toward night the Confederates appeared in such force that we again withdrew to the island.

The Romance of the Cup
Posted in Events, Football Articles, tagged Bohemians, football, League Cup, League Cup fixtures, League of Ieland, Shelbourne on March 30, 2011| 2 Comments »
Bohs versus Rovers. Arguably the most talked about fixture in the League of Ireland calender; Dublin's El Classico comes but four times a year. While this is a huge fixture, not least for fans of both teams, there is one game that outshines even this and one we don't experience too often any more. (Some might say) its the original Dublin Derby, Bohs versus Shels. So, when I saw today's draw for the EA Sports cup threw up this clash, I let out an unmanly yelp of delight. Shelbourne's demise has been well documented, as have Bohs current woes. After our defeat to Welsh side TNS last year, St. Pats fans held up a banner calling us "The Next Shels." And to be honest, they weren't wrong. But thats a post for another day.
It's in the game
There isn't anything too glorious about the League Cup. Simon O'Gorman on extratime.ie summed it up well with the below:
This is the true magic of the League Cup. It operates in such rarified air, moves in such exclusive circles, that should you choose to become a part of it you might just be handed a starring role. Perhaps you will be the fan that some player recognises at a later date, "Isn't that the nutter that was at the Carlow game?"
While it may not be glorious, it is romantic. DFallon wrote a great piece for the Bohs / Glenville Rovers clash in the same competition last year, and we've already had our first "giantkilling" as Galway United crashed out on Monday to Cockhill Celtic. A lot of people talk about "the romance of the cup" across the water but rarely pay heed to the one on their doorsteps. Not suprising I suppose when the average person on the street would struggle to name the ten teams in the top division in their own country but could spout off Spurs first team at the bat of an eyelid. But we do have romance here too, Cockhill Rovers have shown that and have been rewarded with a home draw against Sligo Rovers. Me though? I just can't wait to get back out to Tolka.
Is it though?
EA Sports Cup second round draw:
Pool 1: Limerick v Tralee Dynamos or Waterford United; Wexford Youths v Cork City.
Pool 2: Cockhill Celtic v Sligo Rovers; Derry City v Mervue United.
Pool 3: Drogheda United v UCD; St Patrick's Athletic v Shamrock Rovers.
Pool 4: Monaghan United v Dundalk; Shelbourne v Bohemians

Three Golden Rules
Posted in Football Articles, Miscellaneous, tagged Bohemians, Bohs, Bohs FC, Football History, League of Ireland on December 17, 2010| 3 Comments »
Officially adopted in 1894… were the three golden rules; never say die, keep the ball on the floor and the best defence is attack
From "Bohemian Times."
The Bohs team of 1890
I'm in the process of doing an article on the famous Bohemians FC team from the Golden era of the late twenties, so was delighted to find the above picture posted by JayCarax on thebohs.com forum; the picture is from 1890, the year of Bohemians birth. "The first set of jerseys worn were white with two red down stripes front and back, and a red star of David on the right breast, with black shorts." Brilliant.
"You can't buy our history" part II
Posted in Football Articles, Miscellaneous, Social History, Uncategorized, tagged Bohemians, Bohs, dublin, football, League of Ireland on November 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »
In an article way back in April, when the IMF was still a bogey man the government used to terrify the unions, I wrote a quick piece on an auction taking place at the famous Whyte's on Molesworth Street. On sale at that auction was a 1929/ '30 Free State League winners medal- won that year by Bohemian FC.
So, when I heard the below picture was on sale at an auction in Dalymount with all proceeds went to Bohemian FC, my ears pricked up. What better way to satisfy three of my favourite things; Bohemians, history and photography than by buying this. I may have paid a little more than I thought I planned to for it but I myself think it was worth every penny.
Words cannot describe how chuffed I am to have this in my possession (click for larger image)
You may not be able to buy a clubs history, but you can hold onto a little bit of it, and thats what I feel like now. I don't really feel like I own this picture, indeed, when Bohemians iron out this little blip it our history like I'm sure we will, I'll most likely donate this picture to the club. Or maybe that's just my optimism, hoping that the torrid time we're going through is just a blip. But what else do we have to hold onto?
Autograph of J. McCarthy (fourth from left in main picture)
I'll be getting it framed and mounted in the near future. When I get that done, I'll check back in here, and give you some history behind a great era in Bohemians history, not unlike the one just passed. A bit of trivia before I go; the shed- like structure in the background are the old dressing rooms. Because of the corrugated iron on the roof, the structure got the nickname "The Hut," now the name of the pre-game drinking hole in Phibsborough favoured by many a Bohs fan.
Football; much better when watched in a pub?
Posted in Events, Football Articles, Miscellaneous, Social History, tagged Bohemians, Bohs, football, League of Ireland on November 15, 2010| 7 Comments »
The gem of a picture that accompanies this piece was spotted in Friday's Metro by a good mate of mine. Now, I know the domestic season is over, the cup final done and dusted (with a deserved victory for Sligo Rovers, and their ex- Bohs talisman Joe Ndo) but this takes the biscuit, really pushing us as a nation of barstoolers to the limit. We often wax lyrical on here about the League of Ireland, no it doesn't draw the masses, and no, its not always sexy. But its ours, and thats what counts. So seeing ads like this is a real slap in the face for the League- Football is not much better when watched from a pub, its much better watched from the steps of the Jodi Stand in Dalymount Park, or the shed in Richmond Park, even the bloody lego stand in Tolka Park is better than a pub.

With the season over, I'll miss the football. And considering our current predicament, this time next year I could be saying I'm missing Bohs. The thoughts of it are depressing. We are in danger but fans are rallying behind the club. Donations are coming in fast, and some very generous ones at that. Even a bunch of Sligo Rovers fans passed on some money on Sunday to go towards the €300, 000 needed for us to retain our license for next season. More of a reason to have cheered for the Bit o' Red yesterday. I'll do another piece on the subject later in the week but as well as the donations, there's a fundraising night and a monster raffle being held in The Phoenix Bar, Dalymount Park this Saturday night, details here. I'd urge, not only Bohs fans but all LOI fans to drop in. I know we joke about "the league needs a strong Rovers," but where would we really be without Dalymount Park? The original home of Irish Football, and a place that truly deserves National Monument status.
So that's why when I was sent that picture above, a number of feelings stirred in me. Pity, for those who remain oblivious to their own national League. Contempt for the same people. Anger, at the short-sightedness of the advertisement. And sadness, that only if some of those the article targets made the effort to come to LOI games, clubs like Bohs, and Shams, Derry and Cork before them wouldn't be in the situations they are/were in. You can stick your barstools where the sun doesn't shine. Football is much better when watched from the steps of Block G.
I had a dream last night
Posted in Events, Football Articles, Reviews, Uncategorized, tagged Bohemians, Bohs, dalymount park, football, League of Ireland on October 27, 2010| 1 Comment »
I had a dream last night. It went like this. Its a cold, dark Friday evening; I am in Dalymount Park, on the steps of Block G in the Jodi Stand. With ten minutes to go in the League of Ireland's last round of games, Shamrock Rovers are trailing 2 – 1 to Bray in the Carlisle Grounds and Twigg has just been sent off for dissent. Bohemians are drawing 1 – 1 with a scrappy Dundalk team here in the home of Irish Football when Paddy Madden is brought down twenty yards out from goal, right in front of us. After some pushing and shoving, the wall is brought back the required ten yards. Killian Brennan takes four steps back, makes the run up, before gloriously dipping the ball over the wall and… well, I woke up.
The cruel things life does to you. Waking up mid- dream is one thing, but having a real life dream turn into a nightmare is another. Last week, Bohs were on the pig's back, (some might say literally,) needing two wins over an injury struck Galway side (who, despite their lowly position have caused us problems all year) and a Dundalk team we've beaten twice already this season (and, well, lost to once.) We all know what happened. Galway won 3 – 2 and dare I say it, the ramifications sent tremors down the spines of League of Ireland fans everywhere. It left Shamrock Rovers in pole position to win their first league title in 6, 066 days precisely. While on Friday's performance, Bohs don't deserve to win the League, that isn't going to stop me wanting them to win it.
Pat Fenlon has chastised his players, saying he doesn't want to see them until before this Friday's showdown with Dundalk. Captain, Owen Heary has admitted that the team wasn't up for the fight. Where were the battling qualities present for the unbeaten run stretching back ten games prior to Friday? Thats the question every Bohs fan is left asking. The possibility of an historic three-in-a-row has likely gone amiss. And yet they were still applauded off the field by the travelling support. Certainly not as a gesture of thanks for their performance over the previous ninety minutes. More a salute to the last three years; a goodbye and a thanks for the memories. They had better remember that this Friday if they're going to finish this season with their heads held high.
We pray to the Spirit of Hunt to lead us to a miraculous three- in- a- row
I spoke in the build up to the Dublin Derby of 2010's run- in being a battle of the bottlers, and while it makes for heartbreaking rather than heart racing football, that's what it has become. Bohemians look set to part with, whether they can miraculously clinch the title or not, a great period in their history. Three fantastic years, some heartbreaking moments aside, that will stick with me in the bleak times ahead. The squad of players that we have now will leave come season's end, there's no doubt about that. And with some of those players reported to be making a move to Tallaght Stadium, it will sicken me to see former players (and one in particular who has grafted for Bohs when others played like they couldn't be bothered,) turn out in green and white next season.
Two League titles, Setanta Cup Champions (and by default, Champions of Ireland,) a League Cup and an FAI Cup in three years. People say we shouldn't be looking to the past when the future is scarily unclear. What does it hold? In the short term, Pat Fenlon has said he will honour his contract, which ties him to the club until 2013. And while I would love to see the most successful League of Ireland manager of recent years to stay with the club, at his current rate, we just can't afford him. He says he'll field a team of kids next year if he has to, and maybe he'll get the required out of them, hopefully so.

The days of players chasing big contracts around the League have thankfully come to an end; and while the circumstances that have led to this are unfortunate, at least it might bring some realism back to the LOI. Three years ago, there were players making more at Bohs than some players in the upper echelons of the English Championship. So who knows, a part- time Bohs next year may still be able to field a team, if only because players won't be able to find a wage elsewhere. Bleak times, preceeded by an amazing past.

All this talk of dreams and nightmares and the chance of victory, however remote, is still there. This Friday, come 21:35 or thereabouts will tell whether I'm a visionary, a lunatic for having hope or just an unwavering dreamer. To be honest, I couldn't care less which if things go our way. Maybe I'm mad for holding onto the vague hope that we can do it. But isn't it madness that drives most of us to follow this league of ours anyways?
The Morning After the Night Before
Posted in Football Articles, Miscellaneous, Uncategorized, tagged Bohemians, Bohs, dublin, football, Football Derbies, League of Ireland on October 6, 2010| Leave a Comment »
So there you have it. The morning after the night before. When I posted on Monday, I wasn't in any great confidence about Bohs chances. I was hoping, praying for a result, a goal in off Ken Oman's arse would have kept me happy. But what I got last night was Bohs playing their hearts out for ninety minutes and getting the result they, and the crowd, deserved. For those in Red and Black sang solid for the whole game, before and after too, creating arguably the best atmosphere in Dalymount Park this season; the Roar was back with vengeance. And while we wait and plead for Rovers to slip up against Sporting Fingal this weekend, the win last night was not only about the result; something that was amiss seems restored.
After the disaster that was TNS and the Champions League, the defeat to Galway and the drubbing to Rovers in Tallaght, a certain something had been lost between team and fans that seems to have been restored last night; that something being pride and passion. For there is such a thing as playing and losing admirably with a certain pride, that was not what Bohs were doing. They were losing miserably, to Galway. Who had nine men.
Oh Jayo, Jayo- You used to be a...
On the back of last nights victory though, can we say that the tides have turned? The run in for Bohs consists of St. Pats, Galway and Dundalk. Two of those teams we've struggled against badly this season. The run in for Rovers consists of Sporting Fingal, Bray and Drogheda. Now under normal circumstances, you would say that the league is a given for Rovers. But after capitulating to UCD last week, and last nights hammer blow from Bohemians suggests that its not wrapped up yet. Could Fingal do us a favour and turn Rovers over this weekend? Could Bohs still win the elusive three in a row? Its hard to know.
Has last nights performance come too late? Keegan and Cronin played like men possessed in the middle of the park, the Rovers middle three barely getting a sniff in, with the majority of their attacking play coming down the wings. Shelley and Oman (silly back pass aside) were solid at the back, and Powell was a constant threat with his storming forward runs. And Jason Byrne, what else do you say only he's been Bohs only player to score against Rovers in over two years. And what a goal it was.
And while the night was spent on tenterhooks, the elation after the goal (where everyone suddenly found themselves eight steps away from where they started) and the final whistle, with the majority of the Jodi staying and waiting for the team to come out for the warm-down (in what was obviously a feel good exercise orchestrated by Nutsy,) the singing and chanting continuing apace while the players jogged up and down in front sections F&G, felt special. People were walking into the bar lightheaded and speechless. There were smiles on faces, of disbelief and joy. Smiles that said "We could win it yet. "
I hope I'm not going to be kicking myself for this...
Three games to go. And while Bohs are relying on Rovers to bottle it again, if the team plays like they did last night, there will be no despair come the seasons end. Much of this season has been spent in pessimism, with horror stories about the Club's finances and tales of striking players and unpaid bonusses. Win those games and those tales might be forgotten. Win those games and we may speak of Bohemians' glorious 2010 battle for three- in- a- row for years to come.
Well it's more believable than Snakes on a Plane…
Posted in Football Articles, Miscellaneous, Uncategorized, tagged anecdote, Bohemians, football, Samuel L. Jackson on April 21, 2010| 3 Comments »
Three years ago, rumours surfaced that Samuel L. Jackson, one of the coolest men on the planet (Snakes on a Plane aside) was a lifelong fan of Bohemian FC.
The information initially came from a paragraph on his Wikipedia entry which read:
Jackson is an avid basketball fan, and especially enjoys the Harlem Globetrotters and the Toronto Raptors. Jackson is a lifelong fan of Eircom League soccer side, Bohemian F.C, and he can often be seen at home games at Dalymount Park with his family. He is well-known and respected among the club's staff and fans.
Within a week, there was a media frenzy; The Biography channel took this information as fact and mentioned it on an hour long special dedicated to the Pulp Fiction actor. Irish radio picked up on it fairly quickly and ran competitions with questions like "Where do Bohemian FC play?" The Sun featured a half page article and a photo-shopped picture of Jackson wearing a Bohs hat and scarf. Even the Teflon Taoiseach got in on the act and piped up that he'd be attending the next Bohs game. A Bohs spokesperson was forced to admit they were unaware of any link at the time. (Rumours abound that Shamrock Rovers were set to announce Danny Glover as a lifelong fan were never confirmed. )
A Scouser? Don't make me laugh...
But others were not so quick to believe. The statement disappeared from Wikipedia, and with Jackson set to appear on The Late Late show, an intrepid Bohs fan made contact with one of the researchers on the show and asked about bringing the subject up. The response was:
" The audience, least of all Samuel L. Jackson, wouldn't know who or what Bohs is."
As Johnny Logan has proved several times (see here and here) since then without need of prompting, this statement is complete rubbish. A letter appeared in The Irish Independent saying Jackson could not be a Bohs fan, as he had never been seen in the stands at the home of Irish football, Dalymount Park. One sharp Bohs fan living in Belgium retorted with:
"He can still claim to be a Bohs fan in the same way thousands of Irish people claim to be fans of British clubs like Manchester United, Celtic or Liverpoool, and yet have never set foot in Old Trafford, Parkhead or Anfield. Maybe Samuel watched Bohs in an Irish bar in downtown Washington decided that makes him a "fan". "
It's been a long time coming but maybe heres the proof that the naysayers need; A poster on www.thebohs.com provided us with a picture this week that closes the argument once and for all- Samuel L Jackson is indeed a Bohs man. (Or if he wasn't, he certainly is now!)
Proof at last that Samuel L. Jackson is a Bohs man. Photo credit LA Bohs.
(A big shout out to all at thebohs.com for the info for this piece!)

As you get older, your risk of developing eye problems – both health-related and cosmetic in nature – increases. Your vision can get blurrier; especially with glaucoma and cataracts being great possibilities (2.7 million Americans aged 40 and above have glaucoma, while half of all aged 80 would have had a cataract already). There are also other serious eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration that causes irreversible deterioration in your vision and could even result in blindness.
Of course, it also becomes easier to spot changes in how your eyes and the areas around it look. Even as early as your twenties, you could notice puffiness and dark circles under your eyes. Eventually, the skin on these areas would lose their elasticity, sag, and give you a tired look. Wrinkles or "crow's feet" could also develop on the outer corners of the eyes, which makes you look older.
In some cases, cosmetic and health problems may overlap. For instance, the eyelids may be too droopy and partly cover the eyes, enough to prevent you from seeing clearly. The loose or puffy skin may also make it difficult for you to put on or remove your contacts or cause you to strain your forehead muscles (from lifting the heavy eyelids) and to develop eye irritations (since the skinfolds could rub against each other).
There's no way around it. The best you can do to prevent eye problems or have them treated before it's too late is by getting eye checkups regularly (at least every year).
Talk to your doctor about the nutritious food you can eat to promote eye health, and always use protective items like sunglasses, safety goggles, and eye creams with sunblock when they're needed.
A cosmetic surgeon in Littleton like Dr. Neha Patel Sitole from Oculoplastics & Ophthalmology at Littleton can discuss your treatment options. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) may be recommended if the sagging or drooping around your eyes is already preventing you from seeing well or even from feeling confident in how you look.

KUHS Hot Springs, AR: Taking A Unique Approach to Community Radio
Posted on 30 July, 2018 by Sequan Gatlin
KUHS is a low-powered FM radio station housed in a building which also has a microbrewery and pizza joint. In 2000, KUHS station manager Zac Smith dreamed of founding a community radio station in North Carolina, but lacked to resources to do so. Years later in 2012 after he and his family had moved to Arkansas, the FCC opened a filing window for LPFM licenses. He and his wife, Cheryl Roorda, owned an underutilized piece of real estate (prior to the station opening) and worked on bringing the building up to functional standards "We did the math on tricking [the building] out and put together a several-tier plan that would go from the radio station and end up with the full restaurant and brewery," said Zac.
Zac was inspired to start his own community radio station by WNCW Radio in Spindale, North Carolina because WNCW "dramatically changed the flavor of western North Carolina." He wanted to create a similar culture in Arkansas by thinking of ways to make Hot Springs an attractive place. Another motivation for Zac was that he and Cheryl are both musicians (tuba and accordion, respectively) who love music and listening to the radio. The inspiration for the multi-business platform came to him while at a coffee house. He took note of the interactions
between people. After experiencing the vibrance of community-based organizations, he realized people enjoyed gathering in a face-to-face setting.
"It struck me that a place where people were already together sharing food and drink and conversation would be a great Segway into music, stories and whatnot that you could hear on a radio station."
Their building was initially divided into three, long, shotgun spaces. Two spaces are larger and nearly the same size while the third is more narrow. The brewery and pizza shop occupy the two larger spaces, while the radio station is in the more narrow space. The building is designed in a U shaped. KUHS is located at the front of the building. Pedestrians can see the lobby and DJ booth from the sidewalk. Visitors can turn the corner at the rear of the station to get to the brewery. Previously, the brewery was a piano repair store. Their bar is made of repurposed pianos left behind after Zac and Cheryl purchased the property. The restaurant is located after turning the final corner from the brewery. SQZBX is the name of the pizza joint & brewery.
Zac is the station manager of KUHS. He and his wife own and operate SQZBX. Zac is the brewer. He learned how to brew beer in his backyard because he had a passion for beer and saw an opportunity to brew craft beer. "I brew simple clean beers that go well with food. I'm a great admirer of German and Czech beers, and follow the old purity law: water, yeast, malt, hops, nothing else."
He also is the executive chef of the pizza joint. Zac learned to make pizza dough as a teenager during his first job off the family farm. While he doesn't work the line anymore, he constantly checks the quality of the food. Though the businesses are separate and only share the building and same management, KUHS and SQZBX feed each other in many ways. Many of the station's DJs decided to work for SQZBX, which opened two years after the station opened. If something wrong happens in the studio, an off-duty DJ has enough knowledge to handle hiccups.
"The radio station is a huge part of our story, and people often wander down the hall while their pizza is in the oven and peek in on the duty DJ. Of course the DJ community did a lot to spread the word about SQZBX, to the point we had to have a refresher on commercial promotion. But having a built-in community who knew our place as a haven for expression really helped the restaurant grow a culture of inclusion, service, and authenticity."
Three instrumental factors that helped KUHS transform from a dream to reality were Cheryl, station engineer Bob Nagy, and Low Key Arts. Cheryl contributed a great deal in the initial construction of the building including finishing the floors, ceiling and walls. She also managed the finances for the project. Bob had plenty of experience as an engineer with three other radio stations before coming to KUHS. Zac and Bob designed an action plan for the station and presented it to the board of Low Key Arts, a nonprofit community arts organization. With the board's approval, they began fundraising for a year and a half, ultimately raising $35,000. Volunteers helped design the studio, chairs and desks, in addition to making other valuable contributions to the station. Bob advised the station to use solar power with the funds. Now, KUHS is the first and only solar powered station in Arkansas.
KUHS is operating in their third year. Their programs consist mostly of music shows hosted by variety of DJs. The station also runs talk, poetry, health and a women's programs as well as a game show. More formal journalism is one of Zac's long-term goals.
"I would love to see us do a better job of telling stories of Hot Springs on air in a formal manner. As the station manager, that's the direction I want to take the station in and help my DJs get some more resources to help us record and tell more stories of Hot Springs."

The Vortex Edge simulator is a compact and flexible laptop-based training tool that connects to your classroom display.
The Vortex Edge comes with your choice of training packs for cranes (rough terrain mobile crane, luffing tower crane, flat-top tower crane, crawler crane) and heavy equipment (excavator, backhoe loader, wheel loader, motor grader) — choose only the equipment you need for your organisation.
Why use the Vortex Edge?
If a picture is worth a thousand words, the Vortex Edge is worth a thousand training videos.
That's because the Vortex Edge allows you to operate virtual heavy equipment that's engineered just like the real thing, so you can demonstrate all aspects of machine behaviour, from machine components to how it behaves under the stresses of operational conditions.
The Vortex Edge is a fast, simple, and affordable way to boost your classroom training program.
It gives you all the interactive benefits of simulation, while providing the kind of engaging hi-tech learning that today's generation of trainees have come to expect.
The Vortex Edge is a portable tool that you can start using immediately.
It's straightforward, simple, and robust – no messy calibration procedures required. In just minutes, you can begin to illustrate operating techniques, provide hands-on equipment demos, or show how to handle adverse conditions and machine faults.
– A basic controls exercise, which guides trainees through machine functionality.
– A free operations exercise, which lets trainees lift various objects (cranes) or excavate and carry material (earth-moving equipment).
– A skills challenge exercise, which can be used to stimulate competition between trainees and benchmark their understanding.
All crane training packs include lift plans and load charts.
The Vortex Edge can be used for self-paced learning on trainee desktops, or for instructor-led classroom instruction.
Its portability also makes it perfect for trade shows and recruitment events, where you can use it to assess the general hand-eye coordination and aptitude of prospects — while demonstrating that your organisation is at the forefront of cutting-edge technology.
