Peridot was mined as early as 3000 B.C. on an island in the Red Sea off the coast of Aswan, Egypt known to the Greeks and Persians as "Zebirget" or "Zabargad" (later renamed "St. John's Island by Medieval Crusaders). This barren little mound of land was one of the best-guarded areas of the ancient world. The Egyptians valued peridot so highly that guards stationed on the island were given orders to kill anyone approaching the shore without permission. Many pieces of ancient Egyptian jewelry (some as much as 4,000 years old) featuring peridot have been uncovered by archaeologists. To the ancient Egyptians, the glow of Peridot symbolized "Ra", their sun god. According to some accounts, peridot gemstones were a traditional "gift" given by the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt to their High Priests, ensuring according to one source, that the priests might "keep their minds free from envious thoughts and jealousies" concerning the pharaoh's powers and wealth. Here are two absolutely gorgeous, pastel green faceted peridot ovals from Burma. High quality, transparent, at a minimum eye clean, these lustrous semi-precious gemstones possess a beautiful, light, citrus character. They are very attractive gemstones, with pastel citrus green color, of delicate character and light texture. These faceted ovals are a distinct almost emerald green, with bright "lemony" undertones. Both gemstones are exceptionally clean and bright, crystal clear, and nicely colored. Under magnification the gemstones show the unmistakable characteristics of having been hand crafted. The coarseness of the 19th century finish is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors, and is not considered a detriment, or detract from the value of a gemstone. These characteristics are not only expected of hand-finished gemstones, most serious collectors consider such gemstones more desirable, possessed of greater character and uniqueness when compared to today's cookie-cutter mass-produced machine-faceted gemstones. Unlike today's computer controlled machine produced gemstones that approach flawlessness in a perfect finish, the cut and finish of handcrafted gemstones such as these are the legacy of an artisan who lived two centuries ago. These gemstones have great luster and sparkle, and to the eye are completely transparent, but one cannot say with absolute certainty that they are absolutely flawless. True, the blemishes they possess are not visible to the naked eye, and the gemstones can be characterized at a minimum, to use trade jargon, as "eye clean". To the eye they are indeed flawless; however magnified many times over as they are here, you might be able to pick out one or two slight blemishes within the gemstones, barely perceptible even at such high magnification. Of course the same may said about almost any natural gemstone. An absolutely flawless gemstone simply is not the rule in nature. Most absolutely flawless gemstones will upon close examination be revealed to be synthetic. You might also notice under magnification occasional irregularities in the cut and finish. The earring settings are of contemporary origin. They are high quality settings manufactured by one of the USA's leading semi-custom mount producers. They are constructed of 14kt gold fill. They are not cheap, gold electroplated earrings. They are of genuine 14kt gold fill, designed to last a lifetime. It's a first-class piece of jewelry throughout. We can reset into 14kt solid gold upon request, and there are also many other setting styles available upon request including French hooks, lever backs, kidney wires, ball/stud dangles, etc. Naturally these characteristics are not only expected of hand-finished gemstones, you must also consider that two centuries ago the mining techniques even theoretically possible, let alone commonly practiced, did not allow the ultra deep mining operations which are so commonplace today. Keep in mind that two centuries ago mankind was more or less limited to surface deposits or near surface deposits of gemstones. Higher quality gemstones which today are routinely mined from beneath hundreds of meters, even kilometers beneath the earth's surface, were simply inaccessible then. For these reasons antique gemstones must be appreciated as antiques first, gemstones second. The relatively superlative quality of contemporary gemstones routinely mined from deep beneath the earth's surface today were simply not accessible two centuries ago, or at least, only rarely so. But for most, the unique nature and character of these antique gemstones more than makes up for the blemishes found within the gemstones, as well as the cutting irregularities common to handcrafted gemstones, all of which are by and large are only visible under magnification. PERIDOT HISTORY: The name "peridot" was coined by the French, but the root is from the Arabic word "faridat" meaning "gem". Due to its yellow green color it was known in the ancient world as the "gem of the sun". Peridot was mined on St. John's Island (also called "Zebirget" or "Zabargad") in the Red Sea, 45 shark-infested miles off the coast of Aswan, Egypt, as early as 3,000 B.C. Many pieces of ancient Egyptian jewelry (some as much as 4,000 years old) featuring peridot have been uncovered by archaeologists. Legend has it that ancient pirates discovered peridot on Zebirget, but the island was often hidden by heavy fog and its location was lost for centuries. The first century Roman Historian and Naturalist "Pliny the Elder", in his "Natural History" (circa 70 A.D.) mentions both the island as well as its gemstones, referring to the Red Sea Island as "Chitis". This barren little mound of land (picture of the island here) was one of the most heavily guarded locations of the ancient world. Yet another ancient legend pertaining to the island is that for thousands of years the thick fog typically enveloping the island protected the peridot from potential poachers, as if unsuspecting sailors approached, their ship would either be wrecked on a reef or captured and, either way, the crew enslaved to work in the mines so no one could go back and tell others. It is documented that the ancient Egyptians valued peridot so highly that guards stationed on the island were given orders to kill anyone approaching the shore without permission. To the ancient Egyptians, the glow of Peridot symbolized "Ra", their sun god. According to some accounts, peridot gemstones were a traditional "gift" given by the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt to their High Priests, ensuring according to one source, that the priests might "keep their minds free from envious thoughts and jealousies" concerning the pharaoh's powers and wealth. According to some ancient accounts, peridot was Cleopatra's favorite gemstone. When originally discovered, the island was known as the 'Isle of Serpents'. Supposedly, the island was so infested with pit vipers and mining so potentially deadly that the ancient Egyptian military was given the job of eliminating the viper population. According to ancient Egyptian legend miners searched for peridot crystals at night (when their glow gave away their location; ancient Egyptians believed the "jewel of the sun" became invisible under the sun's rays), marked the spot, then returned to dig them up in daylight. Thousands of years later during the Middle Ages, this legend had evolved into the belief that peridot only showed its true beauty after nightfall. In the ancient world peridot was also believed to afford protection against the "evil eye", that ancient belief that some evil sorcerers or witches had the ability to transmit evil with just a glance. The ancient Romans referred to peridot as "emerald of the evening", and wore it for protection against enchantments, melancholy and illusion. There are as well Old Testament references to peridot, though the gemstone was referred to as "pitdah", typically translated as 'chrysolite'. According to biblical accounts, a peridot was one of the twelve stones adorning the breastplate of the high priest, Aaron, the twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. During the Crusades it is believed that at some point the island came under Crusader control, and the island became known as "Saint John's Island" (its previous name, "Zabargad", is the name for peridot in the Egyptian language). Although it's not known how long the Crusaders remained in control of the island, it is clear that they did engage in mining operations, stockpiling peridot, as at the end of the Crusades (after the final defeat of Crusaders forces and the capture of Acre by the Muslim Mameluks in 1291 A.D.), the Crusaders brought back to Europe large quantities of peridot. However true to form, the exact whereabouts of the island was then again lost to history, and and it was not until the early twentieth century that Zebirget and the peridot mines were rediscovered. The mines were worked up until the outbreak of World War II. Mining resumed again after the conclusion of World War II, but the mines were abandoned several decades ago. In Medieval Europe many powers were ascribed to this gem, and it was worn by many as a talisman so as to gain foresight and divine inspiration. It was believed that peridot would dissolve as well as protect against the effects of enchantments and spells. To develop its full strength as a talisman, so as to enhance its potential to ward off evil spirits, peridot was set in gold or strung on donkey hair and tied around the left arm. One Medieval source (dated to about 1502 A.D.) cited the belief that using a piece of peridot upon which was carved an ass would enhance a sorcerer's powers of prophecy, and that the engraving of a vulture onto the stone allowed control over various demonic spirits as well as the winds. Peridot brought into Europe as Crusader "booty" was also used in Medieval through Baroque Europe as an adornment for ecclesiastical treasures, a particularly significant example being on one of the shrines in the Cologne Cathedral (the "Treasury of the Three Magi"). Acknowledged to be the largest and most valuable piece of medieval goldsmithing in existence, the reliquary was designed by Nicholas of Verdun (actively producing from about 1150-1210 A.D.), reputed to be the greatest goldsmith of his day. The reliquary is six feet long, four and one-half feet high, and three and one-half feet wide. Containing more than one thousand precious stones and an uncounted number of pearls, among the gems are three large peridots, each more than 200 carats in size. The precious stone and jewelry collection in the Tower of London also contains large peridot gems, as does the collection at the Vatican in Rome and the Diamond Treasury in Moscow. Today peridot, also referred to not only as chrysolite, but also as "evening emerald" and olivine, is found in Norway, Germany, Russia, the Canary Islands, Saudi Arabia, Burma, Ceylon, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Australia, the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. Peridot gemstones have also been found within meteorites. The world's largest cut peridot, 319 carats, was found on Zagbargad Island. It now resides in the Smithsonian, Washington, D.C. Peridot was also found on Oahu in Hawaii. Native Hawaiians at one time believed peridot to be the tears of Pele, the Polynesian goddess of fire. Throughout the history of the ancient world, gemstones were believed capable of curing illness and providing protection. Found in Egypt dated 1500 B.C., the "Papyrus Ebers" offered one of most complete therapeutic manuscripts containing prescriptions using gemstones and minerals. Gemstones were not only valued for their medicinal and protective properties, but also for educational and spiritual enhancement. Given the ancient legends that the glow from peridot only "showed" to miners at night, and that peridot gemstones only showed their true beauty at night, peridot has always been magically linked to dreams and the astral realms, and the subconscious mind. In the ancient world peridot was used by ancient shamans and sorcerers for dream magic, for undertaking mystical journeys, and encouraging astral travel. Ancient physicians prescribed powdered peridot for asthma. The stone was also believed to lessen thirst in fever when held under the tongue (particularly effective for fever victims), and was also used as a cure for liver disease and dropsy. It was also believed that medicines taken from a goblet containing peridot enhanced the medicinal value and quickened the treatment. In the medieval world physicians used peridot to treat stomach ulcers, and to facilitate the birthing process wherein it was believed to stimulate contractions and dilation. It was believed that peridot should be worn at night (or kept under your pillow) to protect against nightmares, night hags and vampires. Wearing peridot is also said to help you keep your wits about you, especially in challenging situations, and protect you from foolishness, tactlessness and madness. Contemporary practitioners believe that peridot amulets possess magical powers which include the ability to improve the wearer's intuition and the confidence to trust their intuitive insights ("gut feelings"). Peridot is believed to be a powerful crystal for emotional healing, able to help restore the missing or damaged fragments of a person's soul so that they can enjoy inner peace and contentment. Peridot is said to bring inspiration to poets and artists, along with the confidence and self-belief needed to realize creative dreams. Peridot is also said to be able to guide the wearer toward a happy marriage or true, loving friendships with like-minded people. Peridot has also traditionally been used to heal bruised egos, lessen anger, and prevent jealousy, and is recommend by contemporary natural healers for those who feel hurt or angry. Wearing a peridot talisman is also believed to help speech by increasing one's eloquence, as well as to remove impediments such as stutters and other speech-related handicaps. Natural Healers believe that peridot provides a protective shield around the entire body, and is useful in treating a damaged heart or lungs, pancreas, spleen, liver, and adrenal glands. Peridot is also believed to be effective in slowing the aging process, both physically and mentally. It is also believed to help alleviate stress, and has the power to enable the wearer to understand their destiny and spiritual purpose, helping the wearer to attain their full potential.

We travel to Russia each year seeking antique gemstones and jewelry from one of the globe's most prolific gemstone producing and cutting centers, the area between Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg, Russia. From all corners of Siberia, as well as from India, Ceylon, Burma and Siam, gemstones have for centuries gone to Yekaterinburg where they have been cut and incorporated into the fabulous jewelry for which the Czars and the royal families of Europe were famous for. My wife grew up and received a university education in the Southern Urals of Russia, just a few hours away from the mountains of Siberia, where alexandrite, diamond, emerald, sapphire, chrysoberyl, topaz, demantoid garnet, and many other rare and precious gemstones are produced. Though perhaps difficult to find in the USA, antique gemstones are commonly unmounted from old, broken settings – the gold reused – the gemstones recut and reset. Before these gorgeous antique gemstones are recut, we try to acquire the best of them in their original, antique, hand-finished state – most of them centuries old. We believe that the work created by these long-gone master artisans is worth protecting and preserving rather than destroying this heritage of antique gemstones by recutting the original work out of existence. That by preserving their work, in a sense, we are preserving their lives and the legacy they left for modern times. Far better to appreciate their craft than to destroy it with modern cutting. Not everyone agrees – fully 95% or more of the antique gemstones which come into these marketplaces are recut, and the heritage of the past lost. But if you agree with us that the past is worth protecting, and that past lives and the produce of those lives still matters today, consider buying an antique, hand cut, natural gemstone rather than one of the mass-produced machine cut (often synthetic or "lab produced") gemstones which dominate the market today. Our interest in the fabulous history of Russian gemstones and the fabulous jewelry of the Czar's led to further education and contacts in India, Ceylon, and Siam, other ancient centers of gemstone production and finishing. We have a number of "helpers" (family members, friends, and colleagues) in Russia and in India who act as eyes and ears for us year-round, and in reciprocity we donate a portion of our revenues to support educational institutions in Russia and India. Occasionally while in Russia, India, Siam, and Ceylon we will also find such good buys on unique contemporary gemstones and jewelry that we will purchase a few pieces to offer to our customers here in America. These are always offered clearly labeled as contemporary, and not antiques – just to avoid confusion. We can set most any antique gemstone you purchase from us in your choice of styles and metals ranging from rings to pendants to earrings and bracelets; in sterling silver, 14kt solid gold, and 14kt gold fill. When you purchase from us, you can count on quick shipping and careful, secure packaging. We would be happy to provide you with a certificate/guarantee of authenticity for any item you purchase from me. There is a $2 fee for mailing under separate cover. Please see our "ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SALE." Color: Green Peridot, Metal: Gold Fill, Gemstone: Antique Peridot, Jewelry: Peridot Earrings

Coast Packing Expands Its 'Taste the Difference' Online Guide to Chicago, Urges Consumers to Sample Dishes Made with Healthy Animal Fats
West's Leading Supplier of Lard and Beef Tallow Puts Fat on the Map and Says, 'Try It – You'll Like It!'
First, L.A., then New York and now, the City of Pork Shoulders – rather, Big Shoulders — where foodies in Chicago can "Taste the Difference."
Following the rollout of online gastronomic "taste maps" of Los Angeles and New York City, Coast Packing Company, the leading supplier of animal fat shortenings in the Western U.S., is yet again putting its website where its taste buds are, mapping restaurants and eateries, from Wicker Park to Hyde Park, from the Loop to Wrigleyville, where locals can try dishes prepared with lard or beef tallow.
The Chicagoland litany – some 35+ strong – just scratches the surface and will expand over time. Still, discerning diners will find the Michelin-starred (Acadia, Blackbird, Dusek's, El Ideas, Long Man & Eagle, Oriole and Roister) alongside popular hangouts like Michael Jordan's Steakhouse, Bang Bang Pie Shop and six convenient locations of Stan's Donuts & Coffee.
"The best way to understand how much our food benefits from healthy animal fats – as opposed to heavily processed, industrially produced substitutes – is to go out on the town and experience what Chicago's amazing chefs are up to," said Eric R. Gustafson, Coast Packing CEO. "While the conversation about the health benefits of any given food or ingredient is continuous – and, indeed, will probably lack an endpoint in any of our lifetimes — most of us have a pretty fair idea of what tastes good (even if we can't always say why)." Artificial trans fats are out, and minimally processed animal fats – in the form of lard, derived from pork, and beef tallow – are decidedly making a comeback, he noted.
"In terms of freshness, flavor and texture, there really is no comparison, which is exactly why we're so delighted when consumers taste for themselves," Gustafson said. "Toward that end, we at Coast Packing are continuing our efforts to compile a running list of establishments where consumers can let their palette make the call. Having begun in Los Angeles, we have now expanded that list to New York City and Chicago. Next on our itinerary: the great state of Texas."
Have a favorite restaurant that puts lard or beef tallow on the menu (or just in some of its prize dishes)? If so, drop Coast an email at email@example.com and the company will put it on the map – in L.A. , New York, Chicago or anywhere in the U.S. Consumers can also post an image or link to the eatery via Twitter/Instagram/Pinterest, etc., with the hashtag #LardOnTheMenu or #TallowOnTheMenu.
And remember to praise the lard.

Elderly woman robbed at knife point in Dover
Dover police have arrested a 28-year-old man for robbing a 71-year-old woman Sunday afternoon.
It was around 1 p.m. and the elderly woman was taking money from a drive-up ATM at the Dover Federal Credit Union.
Police say that's when Joshua Lewis entered her vehicle from the passenger side door and flashed a large knife, demanding the money.
Police said Lewis told her to drive him to another location, but fled on foot when he saw other cars in the area. Witnesses told them he fled to a room in the Super Lodge across the highway at 246 N. Dupont Highway.
Officers contacted Lewis and he was taken into custody, police said.

Hotel sales worldwide are on target for an outstanding year after totalling more than €39bn in the first half of 2015 ...
Hotel sales worldwide are on target for an outstanding year after totalling more than €39bn in the first half of 2015, boosted by an increasing appetite among Asian and Middle Eastern investors.
Transactions in the international hotel sector jumped 56% year-on-year in the first six months of this year, according to real estate broker JLL's Hotels & Hospitality Group. The astonishing pace is short of the record of €57bn set in the first half of 2007.
The rise in global hotel activity this year reflects investors increasing risk appetite in pursuit of higher yields at a time when interest rates remain near historic lows. Hotels typically generate higher returns than traditional property assets like offices or retail space.
Transaction Volumes Exceeding Expectations in H1 2015
Mark Wynne Smith, CEO at JLL Hotels & Hospitality said: "Institutions are getting more comfortable acquiring hotels and the hotel market is benefiting from that".
Sales in the first six months were also driven in part by a number of sovereign wealth funds and corporate investors entering the hotel market for the first time or increasing their exposure.
Chinese mega-insurers feature prominently in the international hotel market with major deals including Anbang Insurance Group Company which paid €1.8bn for the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York and the Sunshine Insurance Company, acquiring The Grand Salon at the Baccarat Hotel in New York for €212m earlier this year. The price per room for the Baccarat of about €1.85m was a record valuation for a U.S. hotel.
Middle East Investment up on Falling Oil Prices
Falling oil prices have also encouraged Middle-Eastern investment funds to diversify through property holdings abroad. Qatar Investment Authority in April acquired a trio of high-end London hotels – namely Claridge's, the Berkeley and the Connaught – for €1.85bn. Overall investors from Asia and the Middle East spent more than €9bn on hotels in the first half of the year, compared with €2.1bn last year.
The US hotel sector has received capital inflows totalling €22bn in the first half of 2015, representing a 73% increase from the same period last year, while hotel sales of €13.5bn in Europe, the Middle East and Africa is up 55% on H1 2014.
The US is expected to continue in pole position in the international hotel sector in 2015 with transaction volume projected at €32bn. Investors have been seen to be disposing of hotel assets purchased at the onset of the recovery cycle and taking capital gains. Momentum in the US market is fuelled by the weight of private equity pursuing portfolio deals.
US Hotel Market Still Leading the Charge
Hotel sectors in Europe, the Middle East and Africa are expected to continue striding towards the target of a projected €23bn in hotel trades this year. The bulk of sales activity is driven by large single asset transactions let by London and Paris, while portfolio deals are anticipated in the UK and Germany.
Outbound capital from the Middle East will continue to remain strong; particularly in view the region's currency is pegged to the all-powerful dollar. Over in Asia Pacific, Japan is looking to be the best performer in the hotel sector bringing 13% more transactions to the market in H1 2015 and lifting deal volume to €7.8bn. Australia remains an active hotel market with a stable government, rising tourism and increasing investment interest from China creating a safe haven for moderate growth.
At the beginning of the year, IPIN predicted an exceptionally upbeat outlook for the international hotel sector in 2015.

SMAC! Monkey Update: Where Are We?
You did it! You brought SMAC! Sock Monkeys Against Cancer to life in November through an awesome crowdfunding campaign and we cannot thank you enough. We are more than ready to get to work, helping those with/impacted by cancer SMAC! it. So, where are we?
During the crowdfunding campaign, we were aiming for a January monkey delivery date. Unfortunately, that didn't work out with our manufacturer, so we will now be coming to your doorstep in May. Our sincerest apologies for the delay. We (our prototypes) have been getting many make-overs in the meantime, which now also includes new hair for both of us.
The yarn used to make our crazy hair, in the picture above, is no longer available, so we are literally "hair hunting" as we type this. No worries, though, we will still look cool. More importantly, we just want to get the heck out of dodge and into the arms of those who need some love and comfort. We have LOTS to give.

Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis: The Vampire Chronicles
"From Anne Rice, conjurer of the beloved best sellers Interview with the Vampire and Prince Lestat, an ambitious and exhilarating new novel of utopian vision and power
"In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea. I heard the cries of thousands. I saw flames that outshone the lamps of heaven. And all the world was shaken . . ." --Anne Rice, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis
At the novel's center: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, hero, leader, inspirer, irresistible force, irrepressible spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a strange otherworldly form that has somehow taken possession of Lestat's undead body and soul. This ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of vampire lore has all the force, history, and insidious reach of the unknowable Universe.
It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for thousands of vampire years and throughout the Vampire Chronicles, that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times; a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent--and of how and why, and in what manner and with what far-reaching purpose, this force came to build and rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean.
And as we learn of the mighty, far-reaching powers and perfections of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets, and how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit".
Cruel Crown by Victoria Aveyard
"Two women on either side of the Silver and Red divide tell the stories no one else knows.
Discover the truth of Norta's bloody past in these two revealing prequels to #1 New York Times bestseller Red Queen.
Queen Song ~ Queen Coriane, first wife of King Tiberias, keeps a secret diary—how else can she ensure that no one at the palace will use her thoughts against her? Coriane recounts her heady courtship with the crown prince, the birth of a new prince, Cal, and the potentially deadly challenges that lay ahead for her in royal life.
Steel Scars ~ Diana Farley was raised to be strong, but being tasked with planting the seeds of rebellion in Norta is a tougher job than expected. As she travels the land recruiting black market traders, smugglers, and extremists for her first attempt at an attack on the capital, she stumbles upon a connection that may prove to be the key to the entire operation—Mare Barrow.
Plus a Glass Sword sneak peek!An exclusive excerpt of the hotly anticipated second book in the Red Queen series, Glass Sword, transports readers to the world of Silver tyranny, a Red dawn rising, and one girl's resolve to break down the system that will hold her back no longer".

HowToForge har skrivit en enkel och lättföljd artikel om hur man lättast installerar Internet Explorer i Ubuntu Linux. Du får dessutom tre versioner på en och samma gång, nämligen 5.0, 5.5 och 6.0. Det här är helt perfekt för den som designar webbsidor i Linuxmiljö, då man slipper allt knök med dualbooting eller virtuella maskiner.

Puttin' your Thinkpad keys to work
If you have a Thinkpad, and you have those grey page-buttons around your arrow keys, this is what you do to make them work as Forward/Backward in Firefox 2.
1. You will have to find the directory in which Firefox is installed. On a standard Kubuntu Feisty install, it's in
2. Edit
<firefox-directory>/chrome/browser/content/browser/browser.xul, and find the line that says
<keyset id="mainKeyset">.
3. Paste the following lines directly underneath:
<key id="goBackKb" keycode="VK_F19" command="Browser:Back" />
<key id="goForwardKb" keycode="VK_F20" command="Browser:Forward" />
4. Save and restart Firefox.
Now you can use the page-buttons to move back and forth through your Firefox history. This also works in Firefox 1.5, but requires a different approach. You can read more at the ThinkWiki.
Using Feisty
Now I've had Kubuntu Feisty on my laptop for almost 24 hours, and I'd like to share my thoughts about it.
First off, finally a new version that doesn't radically change or remove solid features one has gotten used to in the six months between releases! The only real changes are either improvements on previously added features or inclusions of software and hacks that most of the Kubuntu community has been using anyway. Network Manager is finally a standard feature, and the battery manager the Kubuntu team added in Edgy has been fitted with some new options, including an awesome looking new icon (with color!). Both Suspend and Hibernate still work flawlessly, right out-of-the-box, on my Thinkpad T43 and it even has the ability to switch over to hibernate while suspended if the battery drains to a critical level.
Overall, there aren't that many new things to write about. KDE 3.5 is moving along at crawling speed while development on KDE 4 is ramping up. I got things configured just as I like them in less than 20 minutes, and most hacks/tricks that worked in Edgy still work in Feisty. One cool new thing, though, is that Beryl is available from the repositories and is now merely an apt-get install away. I'm also happy to say that it works perfectly, insanely irritating wobbly-windows and everything.
I know that this has been said so many times it's completely lost its meaning… But this is the Ubuntu that could start a massive move from Windows to Open Source software. It's really that good. I'm giving Kubuntu 7.04 — a.k.a. Feisty Fawn — two giant thumbs up.
Installing Feisty
I'm installing the new Kubuntu right now, as we speak. Behind this Konqueror window, the installation runs smoothly and quickly. It's really cool being able to just boot up Kubuntu from a CD, enter my WPA passphrase to connect to my wireless network and just click a few buttons to start the installation, while at the same time being able to write a blog entry on a computer that does not have a working operating system installed at all.
That last part was a half lie — I have Windows XP installed on the first partition, but I can't count it among any kind of working operating systems. It won't accept my key as being legit, it took me two hours just to find the drivers for the wireless network adapter and there's no way to install the ThinkVantage software so that I can get drivers for all the other hardware that Windows doesn't support out-of-the-box since I can't get onto Windows Update to download .NET 2.0 because Windows refuses to register my key… It's easily enough to drive any person beyond insane.
Oh, right, first impressions. Sorry, my mind wanders.
As you can probably guess, just the installation of Kubuntu is infinitely more pleasant than a fully working, non-struggling Windows XP could ever dream to be. To be fair, though, Kubuntu has the advantage of not being over 5 years old. Everything on my Thinkpad T43 works without any kind of configuring. The battery is supported, and all I have to do to get my wireless working is select which access point I want to connect to — That's it! The installation guide is clear and to-the-point, no hassle anywhere. I create a couple new partitions (The partition manager is new, and could use some tweaking, but over-all it works like it's supposed to) and fill in some personal information. For some reason, the Migration Assistant didn't show up at all, but that doesn't matter, I don't have anything to migrate from anyway. Click OK, and the system installs itself quietly.
A couple minutes and a chiming sound later, I get to choose between rebooting or continuing to use the live-CD environment. I guess I'll have to save the rest for another entry, because I can't wait to reboot into my brand spanking new Kubuntu Feisty Fawn operating system!
I wuv my 'Bu
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04) has been sort-of released as of today. Officially, the release isn't until tomorrow, but the reviews are already all over the web and the CD repositories have been overloaded all day. LunaPark6 writes an excellent review of the new Ubu' and praises it's ease of use and ability to support practically any type of hardware right out of the box.
Some of the major points of interest are:
- Migration Assistant imports settings from both Ubuntu and Windows previous installs
- Desktop Effects can be turned on at the check of a box, provided you've installed the appropriate drivers through the new…
- Restricted Drivers Manager – Check driver, click OK, reboot and you're running hardware accelerated graphics!
- Numerous improvements to speed and stability make this the undeniably most impressive Ubuntu release yet.
If the site's not still being hammered to bits by rabid Ubuntu users, you can download your favorite flavor of Fawn from Ubuntu.com.
Both Ubuntu and Kubuntu have updated their websites to promote the release of Feisty Fawn. Head over for more details and, hopefully, some more stable servers to download from.

|Pjeter Bogdani painting
Recently is published the book "Shkodra, Contributions to Albanian Cultural and Artistic Traditions" by the author and the journalist Marian Shestani. This book comes as a 15-year work by Shestan, who passed away recently.
Among others, he also speaks of Pjeter Bogdani, the well known writer as the father of Albanian literature and the possessor of the first Albanian library.Shestani, among others, writes:
My Lord Pjeter Bogdani
Monsignor Pjeter Bogdani is born in Gur of Has, spent most of his life and activity for more than twenty years in Shkodra, as bishop of the Bishopric and administrator of the Archdiocese of Tivar.
He attended studies at the College of Propaganda Fides, where he is graduated as a doctor in philosophy and theology. During the turbulent Turkish - Austrian War years, 1664-1669 was hiding in the villages of Barbullush and Rrjoll of Shkodra. To this day, Bogdani's cave in Rrjoll is named Bogdan's Cave.
He was appointed Archbishop of Skopje, from where he would go to Venice and Padua. After returning to the Balkans in March 1886, he supported the insurgency against Ottomans, especially in Kosovo, where he organized the unification of a force of 6,000 Austrian soldiers, but most of the army faced the plague, a disease that affected also Bogdani, from which he would die on December 6, 1689.
|The Platoon of the Prophets cover photo
His main work is "The Platoon of the Prophets". This work is characterized by literary features and is marked as the masterpiece of the old Albanian literature.
With his prose and poetry he touches one of the greatest personalities of Albanian science and culture of the time. While his prose was worked in hight levels of the time, what makes Bogdani known as the "father of Albanian artistic prose".
He also built his great library since 1638. He carried it everywhere with himself, even in Shkodra. It turns out to be the first Albanian library./Oculus News

NEW YORK – As part of the upcoming introduction of the new 680 area code in Central New York, mandatory 10-digit dialing will begin on February 11 for residential and business customers within the existing 315 area code. All calls made within and between area codes 315 and 680 must be placed using the 10-digit telephone number (315 or 680 plus the 7-digit telephone number).
To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the New York Public Service Commission approved an area code overlay for the area served by 315. The new 680 area code will be overlaid over the same geographical area as the existing 315 area code. Phone numbers with the new 680 code will begin activating on March 11, 2017.
The most important facts that residents and businesses need to know about the upcoming 680 area code overlay are:
- Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change.
- You will need to dial area code + telephone number for all calls within and between 315 and 680 area codes starting February 11, 2017.
- You will continue to dial 1+ area code + telephone number for all calls to other area codes (outside of 315 and 680).
- What is now a local call will remain a local call.
- The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.
- You can still dial just three digits to reach 911.
- If 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711 or 811 are currently available in your community, you will still dial these numbers with just three digits.
Customers should identify their telephone number as a ten digit number (area code + 7-digit telephone number), and include the area code when giving the number to their friends, family, business associates and business customers, etc.
Customers should ensure that all services, automatic dialing equipment, applications, software, or other types of equipment recognize the new 680 area code as a valid area code. Some examples are life safety systems, fax machines, Internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed dialers, mobile phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions.
They should also check their business stationery, advertising materials, personal checks, and personal or pet ID tags to ensure the area code is included in their telephone number.
Learn more about your area code information and the introduction of the new 680 area code, or visit the New York Public Service Commission's website. If Verizon wireline customers have questions they should call 1-800 VERIZON (837-4966); Verizon Wireless customers should call 1-800-922-0204

by Henrik Ibsen
Almeida Theatre
Directed by Richard Eyre
Starring: Lesley Manville
What to say about Ghosts? Well, for a start, if you are used to Shakespeare, it is short. It takes place on one night - during which an incredible amount happens, including an orphanage burning down and an assisted suicide. Regular Scandinavian type stuff in other words. At least by the end it has stopped raining.
It is not hard to imagine the electric effect this play must have had when first produced. There are plenty of folk about even today who would be shocked by it - certainly anyone with a belief in a god of any sort. Can't imagine it going down that well in, say, Tehran. And it is quite exhausting to watch, as Helene Alving, in a performance by Lesley Manville which will win all the awards, reveals and has revealed unto terrible secret after secret, the 'ghosts' of her deceased husband and his mistresses doing their business bit by bit. Spouse exited saying she couldn't imagine how they performed it every night. Tickets cost £8.00. Tickets for the woeful Much Ado at the Old Vic cost £55.00, so Ghosts was as much a bargain as Redgrave & Darth & Rylance were a rip-off.

Critic Reviews for Vampire's Kiss
All Critics (23) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (9) | DVD (6)
Problem is that Cage's over-the-top performance generates little sympathy for the character, so it's tough to be interested in him as his personality disorder worsens.
What really makes this worth seeing is Cage's outrageously unbridled performance.
Bierman's striking first feature leaves one trembling between corrosive laughter, edgy terror, and a residual sadness at Loew's pitiful plight.
The film is dominated and destroyed by Mr. Cage's chaotic, self-indulgent performance.
What this movie needs isn't criticism, it's more like a stake through the heart.
You're not exactly sure if the material is meant to be funny or is laughable merely by default.
Audience Reviews for Vampire's Kiss
Nick Cage plays a snooty New Yorker who believes he may have been bitten by a vampire, believes he may be turning into one himself. Or, an already over-the-top actor is absolutely let go for over the course of a whole film. It's a different film experience. Alonso watches horrifically from the sidelines.
Super Reviewer
At the witching hour in NYC, the opening title sequence for the fiendishly pell-mell, daft cult classic 'Vampire's Kiss' is drenched in atmospheric ghoulishness. When a bat flutters around his apartment, it's a toss-up as to who is frothing more rabidly: the winged beast or Cage as the womanizing literary agent. For the record, Cage's flights of bombastic, gangly grandeur don't really occur until the half-hour mark. Cage nails the snide Upper West Side accent and who else could sincerely deliver the line "I was in mortal combat with a fucking bat". It's only germane for the film's darkly humorous sensibilities that the tone is more sobering than broad like a sulfuric Bret Easton Ellis novel (much like Patrick Bateman, Cage is a white-collar professional in Paul Smith suits with homicidal delusions). Public outbursts are Cage's forte and this is practically an acting showcase for his tics and mannerisms but it doesn't diminish how eminently sensational he is. Rather than chewing the scenery, he literally obliterates in a scene where he completely vandalizes his own apartment and eats a live cockroach. Along with Cage's askew Method theatrics, we are regaled with a nubile Jennifer Beals in lingerie. On the downside, Cage's mistreatment of his secretary (Maria Conchita Alonso) is brazenly misogynistic to the point where a rape is ostensibly envisioned as a rib-tickling set piece (ex. When Cage confesses, his psychiatrist blithely remarks "It's just a little id release. No need to worry.").
Super Reviewer
Back when vampires had a certain deadly sex appeal, not overly romanticized like they are, vampire films were lots of fun and highly entertaining. Vampire's Kiss is another standout vampire feature from the 1980's. Starring Nicholas Cage, who is terrific in the lead performance of Peter Loew, a man who falls victim to a vampire. Cage delivers a powerful performance here, and it ranks among his finer, more underrated performances as well. The film has a great blend of horror mixed with hints of black humor to really make something unique. What we end up with is an overlooked vampire film that deserves to be rediscovered. While films like Fright Night, The Lost Boys and Near Dark get the credit as being the three best vampire flicks of the decade, Vampire's Kiss is also in the same category, although no one ever seems to mention this film. The film features several memorable scenes, especially the one where Cage is his office and losing his and threatening to fire his secretary, which inspired an internet meme. This film is a must watch for any genre fan, and viewers who are normally reluctant to watch a Nicholas Cage film due mainly to his recent body work, might be surprised at how good he is here. Every scene he's in, he just commands it, with a dark intensity and his performance alone should make anyone want to watch this film. The writing is brilliant, and in terms of vampire films, this one is straight forward, one that relies on the cold blooded nature of the bloodsucker lore, and making something truly remarkable in the process. As far as vampire films go, Vampire's Kiss is sure to satisfy genre fans, and it's a highly entertaining film that you can sink your teeth into.

Vampire's Kiss Quotes
|Peter Loew:
|Alva Restrepo:
|Are you alright, Mr. Loew?
|Peter Loew:
|Shut up, bitch!
|Peter Loew:
|Alva, there is no one else in this entire office that I could possibly ask to share such a horrible job. You're the lowest on the totem pole here, Alva. The lowest. Do you realize that? Every other secretary here has been here longer than you, Alva. Every one. And even if there was someone here who was here even one day longer than you, I still wouldn't ask that person to partake in such a miserable job as long as you were around. That's right, Alva. It's a horrible, horrible job; sifting through old contract after old contract. I couldn't think of a more horrible job if I wanted to. And you have to do it! You have to or I'll fire you. You understand? Do you? Good.
|Peter Loew:
|I'm a vampire. Kill me!

If you're watching your weight or blood sugar, stevia leaf powder or liquid extracts offer a sweet alternative without the calories, carbohydrates, and glucose of traditional white sucrose, or table sugar. It is also generally a safe choice for for you if you're following gluten-free diets. A common allergen, gluten is a protein found in wheat and many other common grains. In its natural unadulterated form, stevia is a gluten-free food.
By itself, the Stevia rebaudiana plant, which contains the leaves coveted for their non-nutritive sweetness -- yielding extracts 200 to 300 times as sweet as sugar -- contains no gluten. However, stevia products may contain additives that threaten its naturally gluten-free status. Take the time to read labels to ensure that your stevia does not include possible gluten- or cross-contaminated ingredients.
Powder Extracts
Stevia powder can contain inulin or matodextrin. Inulin is a form of chricory root fiber that is naturally gluten-free, so long as it is not contaminated by shared equipment. Maltodextrin can be made from corn, potato, rice or wheat and is generally gluten-free. In the United States, most maltodextrin comes from starches other than wheat. Still, microscopic amounts of gluten may exist.
Liquid Extracts
Like liquid flavor extracts, liquid stevia often contains grain alcohol. Some believe that alcohol's thorough distillation process renders it ultimately gluten-free. Others disagree, citing manufacturers' lack of obligation to rid all gluten from their liquor and a lack of labeling laws. Alcohol processing equipment may also be cross-contaminated with gluten. If you're a gluten-free consumer, look for products that use water and vegetable glycerine instead of alcohol.
In general, stevia offers a safe, alternative all-purpose sweetener for you if you're avoiding gluten. If you suffer from extreme gluten sensitivity, consult with your health care provider before adding a new supplement to your diet.

Importing old posts…
…from LiveJournal. I didn't even know WordPress had a feature like that…
There are some caveats, though…embedded items don't show up (those are stored on LJ servers for some reason), and LJ cuts aren't translated properly. In addition, all the LJ user tags which I used to link to other people's blogs are missing. And on top of that, the comments and tags don't carry over either.
Looks like I'll have a lot of cleaning up to do.
Another peeve – LiveJournal only lets you export your posts one month at a time. Seeing how my LJ post history goes all the way back to 2004, this may be more of a pain than it's worth.8 comments
8 Responses to "Importing old posts…"
That means you will need to keep your LJ account! HA!
Also it says that there's no comments while I've maed one just earlier.
Hey Sonic. I know its in construction but good for you for doing what you want. I might follow suit soon. But i dont know what i want to do for a site though.
You get to stick around in LJ for a bit, yes? :D
Anyways, it looks nice!
Nice clean design. Looking forward to your new blog. :3

No, it's not like in that song, it's not Mambo number 5, it's just my t-shirt that exhibits the gracious number 5. And I really love the tops that are so versatile to be part of day and night outfit in the summer and winter too. This Bershka number 5 t-shirt is so versatile that I can wear it either way: with stylish high heels or with summer seaside wedges/sandals, there is no problem. For the last Sunday night, I used an outfit composed of:Bershka 5 t-shirt Zara denim skirt Break&Walk wedges Stradivarius green bag La Senza lingerie Bijoux Brigitte bracelet

Bobbi Brown: 'It's a Dream' Working With Kate Upton
Supermodel Kate Upton is the new celebrity face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics, only the second celeb to partner with Brown after actress Katie Holmes.
"It's a dream," Brown said of working with Upton. "She's not just a woman that's beautiful, because we all know that, but she is smart, she is nice and she creates her own rules. And I love a woman like that."
Bobbi Brown's cosmetics are known for encouraging women to embrace who they are, which is exactly why Upton, 21, was eager to work with her.
"That's why I was so excited to meet Bobbi and be in collaboration with Bobbi Brown," the supermodel, who has been publicly criticized in the past for not having a traditional model's body, said. "Every day when I'm set with you [Brown] I'm so inspired. And it's all about your energy."
The partnership, both women explained today on "Good Morning America," is all about helping women build confidence.
"If you feel good, you look good," Brown said. "It's not the other way around."
Brown's recent "Pretty Powerful" campaign features pictures of real women as it aims to encourage them to "be who they are." As Brown took questions from several real women in the "GMA" Social Square, she had two main tips for everyday women on the go: A corrector concealer and BB cream works wonders for dark circles and acne, and a gel bronzer is the perfect solution to your wintertime blues.
"Gel bronzer will make you look like you've had a little bit of sun," the makeup mogul explained. "But make sure it's not shiny, not sparkly and not orange."

The tourism sector will host the 10 millionth foreign visitor to Vietnam at the Phu Quoc international airport in the southern coastal province of Kien Giang on December 25.
Experts said the tourism year is a key move in turning Kien Giang into a tourism hub in the Mekong Delta region with Phu Quoc island as a leading resort destination of Vietnam.
In 2016, more than 5.4 million tourists visited Kien Giang, increasing 24 percent year on year and exceeding the yearly quota by 9.5 percent. Of the figure, international arrivals grew 31.4 percent annually, 14 percent higher than initial plan.
According to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, the country expects to welcome over 10 million international arrivals and serve more than 62 million domestic travelers this year, with total revenue estimated at 400 trillion VND (18 billion USD).
On January 1, 2017, Vietnam will begin issuing e-visa for foreign tourists.
As such, the tourism sector has set goals of 11.5 million foreign visitors and revenue of 460 trillion VND (20.24 billion USD) in 2017.

Regular readers of this column will have noticed the emphasis that it places on the Internet as the ideal engine for business in the modern, connected world. While many companies across Europe are already using the Internet to power their businesses, a great many more are still struggling along with outdated client/server models. This column outlines three good reasons for moving away from the client/server model and embracing the Internet at every level in enterprise.
Centralise data
The first drawback of client/server is fragmented data. Data are typically stored departmentally, on servers that are inaccessible to anyone outside of that department. Fragmentation occurs when data about a single item - for example a customer - are gathered and stored by different departments according to their business focus. While Marketing may hold data about a customer that they have targeted in a campaign, Accounts will have information about that customer's payment history, Field Management a record of engineers' visits to the customer and Sales will keep a record of the products the customer has bought. As the data is stored locally in each case, no one within the enterprise can view all the information about that customer in one single history. This often leads to duplication of effort, missed opportunities and the inability to recognise valuable customers and treat them accordingly.
In the Internet model, all data is stored on a central server and is accessible to enterprise applications on a corporate intranet, enabling a single view of any entity - be it a customer, a supplier, a product, an employee or a business group. The efficiency gains arising from this can be enormous.
Lower costs
Client/server models also engender high implementation and maintenance costs. Multiple departmental-level servers require multiple IT support staff to look after them, especially where a company is based in more than one location. By contrast, the Internet model requires a single data centre, which can be managed by a single group of support staff. New software need only be implemented once, from where it is instantly accessible over the corporate intranet, and similarly, any upgrades need only be carried out once. This brings about an immediate and significant reduction in support, training and installation costs.
Connect externally
A third disadvantage with the client/server model is its internal focus. Applications and data are held on closed-loop networks where they can only be accessed by employees, remaining closed to external parties such as suppliers, customers and partners. Making these applications available externally, however, can greatly speed up any number of processes, from customer orders to supply chain management and inventory control.
This can easily be achieved with an Internet model, by linking an e-commerce website straight into internal order-processing and accounts systems, and by hooking up with suppliers and their systems through online industry exchanges. This kind of externally-focused architecture means that transactions can be automated from front to back, eliminating the need to re-key data into relevant systems, and speeding up order processing and fulfilment at every link in the supply chain.
Industry analysts have said that the client/server model is ten times more expensive to maintain than its Internet counterpart. But the benefits are not only derived from cost-efficiency. The model also allows e-businesses to enjoy closer and better relationships with customers and suppliers, improved internal efficiency due to the company-wide availability of data, and greater flexibility and responsiveness thanks to the faster flow of data through every level of business.

Well they seem to have regrouped, and expecting that the protesters will ignore any court decision that permits the ferry to sail, have issued a warning of the severe penalties that protesters who break the law will face:
HONOLULU - The Coast Guard here, in support of joint federal, state and county plans, is planning for the next voyage of the Hawaii Superferry to Kauai, on a still undetermined date, by assembling Coast Guard assets to enforce security zones in Nawiliwili Harbor.
Along with plans for the security zones, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, working with other federal, state and local officials, is planning to designate a safe demonstration area during the Superferry's next Kauai voyage. This demonstration area, roughly between Kalapaki Beach and Kukii Point, will allow people who choose to demonstrate to do so safely, peacefully and legally, and will allow the Superferry and its passengers to safely use the port.
The fixed security zones will be established in Nawiliwili Harbor before and during the Superferry's arrival. Details on the security zones and the safe demonstration area will be distributed after the Superferry's next voyage to Kauai is announced.
Protestors who fail to comply with orders pertaining to the security zones, purposely injure or threaten to injure an enforcement officer or attempt to destruct or interfere with vessels may be punished by imprisonment for up to 10 years, and may be fined up to $25,000. Any vessel used to violate a security zone, including surfboards, kayaks and canoes, may be immediately confiscated and forfeited.
"The Coast Guard, local, state and other federal authorities share a common goal of ensuring the safety and security of our ports, the vessels that call, and all the people who use them," said Captain Vince Atkins, Commander of Coast Guard Sector Honolulu and Captain of the Port.
"We support the rights of citizens to conduct safe, peaceful and legal protests, and the Coast Guard is working with our partners throughout Hawaii to address security issues related to the Superferry's next voyage here," Atkins said.
Editor's Note: For Coast Guard information regarding safety and security plans for the next Hawaii Superferry voyage to Kauai, contact the project's public information office at 808-842-2029 or 808-842-2070. - US Coast Guard Press Release
Update: 5 Sept
That is a pretty interesting catch 22. The Coast Guard could not forcibly remove the protesters as the ship did not enter the harbor. The ship did not enter the harbor because the protesters were blocking the way. Hopefully the new rules will make everyone happy.
Why USCG's Nawiliwili protection failed - KAUAI 05 September – New details have emerged on why the US Coast Guard was unable to protect Hawaii Superferry's Alakai in Kauai's Nawiliwili Harbor last week.
According to information published in the Federal Register, the USCG faced limitations in its ability to enforce the security zone law during protests on 26-27 August. Because the entrance to the Nawiliwili Harbour is "difficult for large vessels in all but calm weather", the master chose not to enter the protestor-filled harbour; as a result, the protesters were not within the 91-metre radius of the ship's moving security zone. "This did not provide the USCG with the authority to clear the channel", which "substantially complicated an already difficult transit and created substantial risk of damage and injury", said the USCG in the Federal Register filing.
It was also noted that protesters threw rocks and bottles at USCG personnel from a jetty south of Nawiliwili Park.
To remedy the issue, a new stationary security zone will be in effect from 1 September-31 October that covers the waters of Nawiliwili Harbour as well as the jetty. This will provide the USCG increased authority to enforce security zone laws and better prevent protesters from impeding the ferry transit. Hawaii Superferry has yet to announce when it will resume calls to Kauai. - Fairplay Daily News (home Page)

Washington (CNN) - Dismissing a vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress as a "political stunt," a group of House Democrats, led by the Congressional Black Caucus, is planning to walk out of the House chamber on Thursday and boycott the vote.
The move mirrors a similar walk out by House Republicans in 2008 when Democrats, who then controlled the House, held a vote to hold two top Bush Administration officials in contempt of Congress.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
In a letter to House members that is still being circulated for signatures, the Democrats opposed to voting on the GOP-sponsored resolutions state, "Contempt power should be used sparingly, carefully and only in the most egregious situations. The Republican Leadership has articulated no legislative purpose for pursuing this course of action. For these reasons we cannot and will not participate in a vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt."
The letter goes on to say these Democrats refuse to participate in any vote that "would tarnish the image of Congress or of an Attorney General who has done nothing but work tirelessly to protect the rights of the American people. We must reflect upon why we are elected to this body and choose now to stand up for justice."
A senior Democratic aide told CNN that in addition to the Black Caucus, which includes over 40 members, the Hispanic Caucus, the Asian-Pacific American Caucus, and the Progressive Caucus may also participate. It's unclear whether any Democratic leaders will join in the boycott.
The number three House Democrat, Rep. Jim Clyburn, is a member of the Black Caucus. The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings, who is expected to lead floor debate against holding Holder in contempt, is also a senior member of the CBC. There was no word Wednesday whether Cummings would participate.
Democrats preparing to boycott the contempt vote plan to stage a news conference on the Capitol steps - as the House is voting - to call on House Republican leaders to focus on creating jobs.

It is a stunt – one designed to hamstring Holder who's going after all the voter suppression by the GOP governors. It's also designed to distract the country from the FACT that the GOP has nothing to offer us except the same tried-and-failed policies.
It's all part of what the GOP has been doing for the past 3.5 years: Feed people's fear and anxiety and distrust towards President Obama, in a desperate attempt to make them forget that he has been successfully cleaning up the mess the GOP left us, including but not limited to killing Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks that HAPPENED ON GW BUSH'S WATCH.
Obama/Biden 2012 = The only sane choice.
Karl Rove strategy session the afternoon of President Obama's inauguration: We don't have policies that work; we created a huge mess; no one in their right mind would ever vote Republican again.
Sooooo, let's feed people's fears, anger, anxiety about their future, plus stoke the fires of division and racism because there's a black man in the White House, so enough people WON'T be in their right mind and do vote for Republicans and against their own self-interest.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
Too bad they have to turn everything into a race issue, it's hard to take them seriously.
People died and the truth needs to be told.
It's possible crimes were committed. Sure wish they wouldn't race bait and would show concern for the lives lost.
Any caucus based upon obtaining privilege or exemption based upon race is contrary to the 'Rule of Law' and 'Equal Justice Under the Law'. So why wouldn't they walk out on a vote that is intended to highlight the fact that the AG is in 'Contempt' of 'Congressional Oversight', 'The Rule of Law', and 'Equal Justice Under the Law'.
Hmm, not sure what concerns me more, the fact that they are all acting like children or the fact that congress is dividing itself up into "race" groups. The worst part is, we the American people are only going to vote all these children back into office and this will continue for years and years to come.
What do they plan on doing when they need to call Holder back to testify? Do you think that he would show? Likely he would, but why should he though.
This whole action and reaction is just another attempt to bring negative attention to the Obama administration and to avoid doing the business that these Congressmen and women were sent to Washington to do. Is there a budget? Is there a resolution to the tremendous debt that will be owed by students who have taken loans? Can Congress get their act together to do the job?
Many in Congress were not happy that Mr. Holder was confirmed to be Attorney General. Their views will cloud this whole issue. Meanwhile the country is becoming more and more polarized and no one seem to care or understand what that means for our future. Certainly the leaders of Congress do not seem to realize just how polarized this country is or how their actions and reactions only add to it. The constant.negativity has had an impact. Why should anyone want to support members of Congress who are running for re-election. They have not been doing their jobs and that is not acceptable.
Walk out and keep on walking
I would say to Holder and the President hold your head up high and keep doing what is best for this country. The Republicans have done everything they could possibly do to bring this administration down. The have seeked and searched to no avail and now they have embarrassed themselves but the voters have the last say.
People need jobs and are hurting and they are busy destroying the country and trying to keep the poor and middle class down. I do hope the Black Caucaus and other with good common sense will uphold the constituion and do the right thing and treat the Attorney General and President Obama with the respect that they deserve.
This has all the elements of politics and race no one else has been treated this way in the history of this country especially a President and they have no regard and respect for his Executive Order and the Office of the President.
Somebody died. I guess this is not 'egregious' enough... Oh, wait, he was white...
Well, at least someone has the canines to stand up to the NRA-backed nonsense. President Obama has never made an attempt at gun control and has never given any real hint that it is part of his plan. However, logic and rationality are not involved when it comes to Republicans, overly influenced by the NRA, attempting to create a scandal in an election year.
I hope the Black Caucus does walkout so they can show America who the real raciest are........Democrats are a joke except people are not laughing except at them.....Real cry babies, if they walk out in protest the only ones that suffer are those who walk out.......Voters will understand that their representatives are not able to represent them when they are not present....Please – Please – Please walk out. The only thing that will be accomplished is to show everyone who Black Democrats really are.......SAD! Obama was to bring us together not split America apart...........
Would they do the same if the AG was white?
Good! I hope that they do walk out just like the Repugs did under W. Bush! What goes around, comes around! {{{ raspberry }}} .
Finally, a group ready to stand up to the bullies. Let's see if the vote for contempt comes before or after the supreme court's ruling. How it goes may have a big influence on this proceeding... i noticed how it ramped up when the immigration ruling did not go the way the republicans planned.
good walk out repos are on a witch hunt. Forward 2012
Acting like spolied Children.. how LAME! WAAAA! WAAA!! and, isn't this a PURELY RACIST action???
no surprise here. democrat blacks supporting another democrat black, no matter that he is totally incompetent and has caused the death of many people. heck moron democrat voters even voted corrupt and criminal rangel back in the democrat primary. lets face, democrats just love incompetence and criminals.
Remember the Iran-Contra controversy? Where were the "indignant" GOP self-righteous partisans then?
How is it our government leaders can make laws that we are expected to follow yet when it comes to them doing the same they believe that they are immune from the same? An American protector of our country was gunned down because Obama and Holder bent the laws and now they should pay for their miscues. I'm still waiting for this President to stand up tall and face the truth on how they managed to get this man murdered and their role in it.
One can only hope these people who walk out STAY the he!! out. What a bunch of lying racist this bunch are, just like that banana republic president of theirs in the WH.
Look American Conservatives, WE have some chores to do. I understand NOBODY ENJOYS shoveling the manure out of the stalls, BUT it needs doing. So get off your duffs this 2012 election cycle, REGISTER to vote, get your like minded friends and family in to REGISTER to vote. Take the day off and GO DOWN AND VOTE! Then after have a get together for a pot luck and watch the results. People, you're talking getting your country back or LOSING IT; that is what is in the balance here.
If the American people do not REGISTER and GET OUT THE VOTE in 2012 then the qualified voting public, their families and their neighbors and their likeminded friends ALL deserve what they WILL BE GUARANTEED to get.
America does NOT have to be on the decline, CLEAN your house of socialism NOW.
Good. If the Republicans did it, why can't the Democrats do it? Fair is fair.
it's about time some dems show some cohonus, the repubs have acting like a spoiled brats since Obama won the election, just because they know they've got 2/3 of the white votes, including the 1 percenters who hold the power in the country, this is why they comes up with the most outrageous stuff and are still taken seriously. this kind of antics may be tollerated in this country, but we are a laughing stack to those on the out side looking in. now I understand why we are way behind in education.
Real mature, walk out, waaaaaaaaaaa (stomps feet), if we can't have it our way, then we are taking our ball and going home to mommy. Be men, stay and do your job.
