Don’t sleep on “gas 0095″

RT | Smorgasbord | Sunday, February 7th, 2010

My morning listening groove: Gas 0095 by Mat Jarvis. If you’re a fan of ambient/electronica, you will absolutely love this album…which is also the soundtrack to the video game Osmos (best played in a darkened room with your headphones on:-)). I bought the mp3 a few weeks ago and it’s been my morning commute soundtrack ever since. My favorite track is “Vapourware,” which at 1:20 or so is too doggone short!

Podcast from the shop: Euro-Mediterranean Partnership: Migrant Morass

RT | Audio/Video, Journalism | Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

A gift from a friend

Tumar Tumar

This is a ‘tumar,’ a gift from a dear, sweet friend from Kyrgyzstan. One should write a prayer on a slip of paper, place it inside the tumar and wear it around your neck.

I asked her if they had larger sizes.:-)

Yemen: Alarm bells for years

RT | Academia, Journalism | Friday, January 8th, 2010

The Yemen situation has been boiling for a while. Just a few items from the shop:

In July 2009, Dr Elham Manea went in depth about the situation in her home country for us in ISN Podcasts.

In 2007, Martina Fuchs wrote about the growing pains Yemen was experiencing.

In 2006, our Dominic Moran wrote about how al-Qaida had resurfaced in Yemen.

The bells have been ringing for a while. Hopefully now folks will listen.
