Orange for Ukraine
Dean
There's some terrible stuff going on right now in Ukraine, fair too much to summarize here. But basically, a hotly disputed national election is so bad, it threatens to split the country in two.
If you want to keep on top of it all the best sources for regular updates are probably Art Chrenkoff and Daniel Drezner. Check in with them regularly for updates.
I'll only say that we at Dean's World stand in solidarity with those calling for free and transparent elections. Since those demanding this have chosen the color orange to represent them, we proudly display an orange in their honor. For whatever such a small gesture is worth.

Howinhell can you tell the difference from a picture?
Of course it could be a Clemantine too...just thought I'd throw that out there.
I think I just cut myself.
Here's how it works, according to Sharon Tyler Herbst's Second Edition of the Food Lover's Companion (a dictionary/cyclopedia used by those who edit recipes and articles for food magazines):
The broad category is orange.
A small type of orange is the Mandarin orange, which varies in size but is characterized by loose skin. The four major types of Mandarin orange are: clementines (usually seedless, cultivated in Spain and North Africa), Dancy oranges (more seeds than clementines), satsuma oranges (Japanese, almost seedless; this is the type used for most canned Mandarin oranges), and tangerines (the most common variety in the U.S. and named after the city of Tangier, Morocco).
Like you needed to know that ;)
