Terror target Harry arrives back in Britain as Al Qaeda threatens to take revenge for 'royal aggression against Muslims'

Prince Harry arrived back in Britain this morning after having been warned that serving in Afghanistan made him a prime target for terrorists.
Muslim extremists say the young royal is a "legitimate target" after ten weeks secretly fighting the Taliban.
The prince touched down at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire just after 11.30am where he was met by his father the Prince of Wales and brother William.

Prince Charles said he was "enormously proud" of Harry and said he now understood what the families and loved ones of soldiers endured when they were serving abroad.
He said: "As you can imagine it's obviously a great relief as far as I'm concerned to see him home in one piece."
Prince Charles went on: "It's a long time to be away and most people would not put up with that.
"With Harry's own plane coming back just now they had to stop and drop off three badly wounded people who had been blown up by mines and it brings home just how hazardous it is and also people who are being wounded and injured all the time who we don't hear about."
The third injured soldier flew all the way to Brize Norton after his two comrades had been taken off in Birmingham, the MoD said.

Prince Charles added: "I've been incredibly proud of Harry and I promise you ... equally proud of all the dedicated service given by all our armed forces."
Two Al Qaeda-affiliated websites are calling on jihadists to "slaughter" the third in line to the throne.
There will now be an urgent review of his security and the prince may have to curb his fondness for nightclubs. Many UK Muslims have praised his sense of duty, however, even while condemning the war.
After news of his presence in Afghanistan leaked out, senior defence chiefs quickly agreed that allowing him to stay would increase the risk to his fellow soldiers.
Taliban insurgents were already vowing to step up attacks on British forces.
The prince was said to be bitterly disappointed that his posting to Helmand had to be cut short after a U.S. website broke an international media agreement not to reveal it.
Security sources said the terrorist threats against Harry were being taken seriously.
The prince is guarded, even while he is on Army duties, by a team of officers from the Metropolitan Police's elite SO14 Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department.
Members of the squad went with him to Afghanistan, although they stayed on an army base, leaving Harry alone in the field.
These Scotland Yard bodyguards are also responsible for protecting the prince during his frequent nightclub forays, though these may now have to be cut back.
Concerns about Harry's safety were deepened when firebrand preacher Anjem Choudhary, of the extremist Al Muhajiroun group, accused him of endorsing an "illegal war".
He said: "I think it is inevitable that anyone who engages in these activities is going to draw attention to themselves. He will be seen as part of the enemy and so he is a target.
"For Harry to participate has absolutely no justification. For people to say he is being brave and doing his job is simply wrong.
"Many wiser and braver men have decided not to participate and have objected and demonstrated against these wars. They should be the ones declared as heroes."
Hate preacher Omar Bakri, now in Lebanon, said: "Harry should condemn the fact that British forces are in a strange land fighting strange people who speak a different language."

But many worshippers arriving for Friday prayers at London's Regent's Park mosque praised the prince.
Accountant Adham Adam, 42, said: "I am against the war and Britain going there but Prince Harry is just doing his duty.
"I hope extremists will not target him because they don't have the right. I don't believe in extremist Islam. They are not doing good things for Muslim Brits."
Sheriff Folami, 65, said: "It shows he is an honourable person. It shows he is a true prince." Hussein Elazghal, 74, echoed the sentiment, adding: "It is very courageous that he is doing his duty. He is a British citizen and he is doing his service."
Hotel manager Nesar Siddiqui, however, said: 2I would be more comfortable if Harry wasn't there. There were legitimate reasons to go to Bosnia, but in Afghanistan there are not those reasons."
Scroll down for more ...
Catherine Heseltine of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee warned that many might find Harry's "glorification" of war offensive. She said: "It is not the way to talk about a war where so many Muslims have lost their lives - men, women and children, innocent civilians. It is not an adventure, it is not exciting."
As Harry was moving out, the Queen spoke with pride of her grandson, saying he had "performed a good job in a very difficult climate".
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Harry had served with "great distinction" and the country owed him a "debt of gratitude".
He also revealed that he agreed with the decision to pull the prince out, saying: "Security considerations come first."
Sources close to the 23-year-old Prince said he had been devastated by the decision to bring him home so quickly after news of his frontline deployment leaked out.
Scroll down for more ...
The news blackout agreed by many UK and worldwide media - including the Daily Mail - collapsed on Thursday after details of the top-secret posting were published on a U.S. website.
One friend said: "He was absolutely loving it out there and was so proud to be doing, at long last, what he has trained for.
"That said, he always knew that if word leaked out the chances were he would be brought back home immediately. The last thing he wanted to do was to put his men at even greater risk, so he knew in his heart he had to go.
"Harry has lived in these guys' pockets for the last two and a half months and was even prepared to die alongside them, so he was sad to say such a hurried goodbye.
"He has already made plans to meet them when he gets back, though, and says all he wants now is a bath, a burger and to sleep."

Harry had already indicated, in an interview in Afghanistan, that he did not particularly relish the prospect of returning home. He said: "I don't want to sit around in Windsor" and made the surprising admission "I generally don't like England that much and, you know, it's nice to be away from all the press and the papers."
The prince, a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals, part of the Household Cavalry, is said to now be more keen than ever to pursue a career in the army.
Lance Corporal Frankie O'Leary, who was with him in Afghanistan, said: "At the minute he's got a small team to command. He wants to go on and command a squadron, maybe one day a regiment."
Senior Army commanders considered several options for Harry's immediate future, with some arguing that withdrawing him from Afghanistan handed the Taliban a propaganda coup.
One insider said the danger to him would have remained "modest" if he stayed at an unspecified British base for the rest of his battlegroup's tour of duty. But at a meeting yesterday morning, the chief of the armed forces, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, and the head of the Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, agreed that Harry must be withdrawn as soon as practicably possible.
Just like last year, when they vetoed the prince's deployment to Iraq, they attached more importance to the safety of soldiers around him. There were fears that the Taliban would step up their activities - ambushes, roadside bombs, mortar and rocket attacks on bases - in the hope of killing the young Royal.
If that led to other soldiers being killed or maimed, Harry and his commanders would be open to intense criticism.
In their first public reaction, the Taliban said Harry's presence in Helmand meant the Royal Family had joined the "aggression against Muslims" and encouraged their fighters to launch more attacks.
A spokesman said: "Instead of fighting and killing the innocent people, the prince should try to influence his Government to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan."
The Defence Ministry said the withdrawal decision had been taken "primarily on the basis that the worldwide media coverage of Prince Harry in Afghanistan could impact on the security of those who are deployed there, as well as the risks to him as an individual".
Brigadier Andrew Mackay, Commander of Task Force Helmand, paid tribute to Second Lieutenant Wales and revealed that he took part in a major operation to disrupt Taliban communications.
The brigadier said: "He has shared the same risks, endured the same austerity and undergone the same moments of fear and euphoria.
"He has flourished in this most demanding of environments, relished the opportunity to serve his regiment and his country, and is deservedly immensely proud of his contribution."
• Harry's deployment to Afghanistan puts him in line for an operational medal.
The prince is the first member of the Royal Family to fight on the front line since his uncle, the Duke of York, was involved in the Falklands War.
Harry is set to receive the Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan on his return to Britain.
He will be able to wear it alongside his Golden Jubilee Medal, given him by the Queen in 2002. He has previously worn this on parade at Sandhurst.
An MoD spokesman said he believed Harry would receive his service medal with the rest of his regiment, but could not say when that would be.

Now, before clicking the link, I want you to vote on what race you think this woman and her children are.
This is a side thread to the racist thread, and I want to know why you selected your choice and what you think about what that means.
i picked white.
Too cool for a signature
Somehow I don't imagine this thread will stay open long.
Met the ghost of Stephen Foster and the Hotel Paradise
This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes
Ships are made for sinking, whisky made for drinking
If we were made of cellophane we'd all get stinking drunk much faster...
Odds are it's black (unless its 4 kids in a single instance in which case its probably some crazy white guy). % wise black make up more of the lower economic group, which is the group most commonly the victim of gun violence.
Holy fuck. I feel so sorry for her. That's really sad.
I voted African American, solely based on I'd imagine most gun crime would be done in poorer areas and most African Americans happen to live in poorer areas.
[08:44:11] Kurioxan: as long they get big im alright with that
I had a feeling the children were either going to be Hispanic or African American, i voted for the latter.
Considering you cant even defend yourself without being banned, this thread wont last past the first page.
OT: Im going off the assumption this is a story from the US, so Ide have to say african american as my choice, simply because gun crime involving that race is shown alot more on the news. As if they are trying to pin the blame almost.
My first thought was black but I wasn't sure if it was a trick question or not.
It really could have been any race, I guess it was just statistically more likely to be a certain race. Of course, that's just assumptions, since no matter what the odds are, I still don't know until I know.
No good can come from this.

Yeah, this thread and the poll are just inciting racism. There is no need for such a thread.

Government subsidies which promote the consumption of cheap unhealthy food are slowly killing the population of this country. saef 07-04-2010, 10:45 PM I wish they'd break it out further than even by state. There's a big difference in regions within states. For instance, the average weight in Manhattan has just got to be lower than the average weight in the part of Upstate NY where I grew up, because I'm struck by heavy people are there when I make my occasional visit back to my old hometown.

The Los Angeles Clippers were looking ahead to the playoffs and thought they could use a perimeter player with length and a defensive mindset.
So they set up a deal with the Washington Wizards that would have swapped Caron Butler for Trevor Ariza, according to David Aldridge at NBA.com. But the deal got shot down at the highest levels.
L.A. and Washington had a done deal Wednesday night that would have sent forward Trevor Ariza to the Clippers in exchange for Caron Butler, giving L.A. a long, defensive-oriented body to throw at the likes of Kevin Durant in the playoffs. (Butler, who still has an offseason home in the D.C. area, and who was loved by the locals, didn't have a problem returning to a non-Arenas Wizards locker room. He'd have been welcomed back as a much-needed offensive option, according to sources.)
But sources indicated that Clippers owner Donald Sterling nixed the deal Thursday morning, not wanting to gamble on the team's chemistry being affected in any way down the stretch.
Ariza is a better defender than Butler, no doubt. But his impact on Durant would be minimal at best, it takes team defense to slow him down and that is where the Clippers have been inconsistent. All that said, Donald Sterling overruling his basketball people on basketball decisions is not a good thing. Never has been, we just thought the trend had stopped.
This trade doesn't make a ton of sense to me, at least not from the Wizards perspective. Ben Standig does a great job of pointing all this out at CSNWashington.com — the Wizards actually spend a little more money to get Butler (that includes next season) when they want to trim salary and keep Martell Webster. Plus this doesn't solve their issue of a glut at the three.
Would he have been welcomed by the Wizards' fan base? Absolutely. Would Butler's addition have made the Wizards a better team? Eh, not sure about that, at least not this season if at all. Ariza can frustrate observers with his erratic play, but he's formed a decent offense-defense combo with Webster while generating points on his own including 16 and 18 respectively in weekend wins over Denver and Houston.
But apparently it wasn't Washington that wanted out of the deal.

We can say nothing but wonderful things about Freedom RV and all of you who have helped so much in getting us into our New Alfa. You have been a pleasure to do business with and we will certainly recommend Freedom RV and all of you!!
Karen and Bill Woodrow from Green Valley, AZ
Dear Freedom RV staff,
Please accept our most sincere appreciation for the way you and your excellent staff assisted us in resolving our recent issue with our "nearly new" Everest 5"' Wheel. As you are aware, our exterior finish claim far exceeded the covered warranty limits of the policy we took at the time we purchased our 5th wheel trailer from Freedom RV. As your owner, Devin Murphy states on your website, "....we always treat you like family". From our experience, you and your staff take these words very seriously. Once it was evident that we needed some "extra assistance" to make things right, we reached a quick equitable agreement, thanks to your involvement in the issue. Please extend our appreciation to Kieth Hausmann (Financial Manager), Brad White (Service Consultant), and to Daniel in the detailing shop. Also, a special thank you should go to Gary Hagen of Cutting Edge Refinishing. We look forward to a long relationship with Freedom RV of Tucson.

Dear Freedom RV Service Department, Especially; Darrell, Brad and John,

And while some women are drawn to the virility and rippling muscles of surfers or basketball players, some women really want a man with personality. Someone with a little bit of chutzpah, someone sensitive, but not too sensitive. Someone they can marry someday, you know?So to find some husband material, we turned to the Dads of the athletic world -- bowlers. Here is the definitive list of the best personalities the world of bowling has to offer:1. Clarence InglewoodClarence is something of a Ladies Man on the professional bowling circuit, but don't let his Don Juan history fool you -- he's the real deal. Yes, he's been spotted with models and actresses from here to the French Riviera, but he's just trying to fill the hole left in his heart when the woman he loved, Maria Contrapañoza, ran off with another man (renowned darts champion Atilla Piquefort). Clarence is a hopeless romantic shielding his heart from pain by bouncing from woman to woman, but deep down, he feels like he's missing something. Maybe you'll be the lucky lady that teaches him how to love again.2. Sven MärtensingsonWe've all known Sven Märtensingson to be something of a lone wolf on the bowling circuit. He's the bad boy in bowling shoes, the veritable James Dean of the alley. He's great if you like fiercely independent types. Attracted to danger? Sven is the one for you. He's a fast man who bowls a fast ball, and you'd better be able to keep up. But be careful with yourself, ladies, or this bowler might 7-10 split your heart.3. Argan RaschimoonokovArgan is a soft-spoken country boy who doesn't always get as much attention from the ladies as I think he deserves. Sure, he's not a bad boy like Sven or a player like Clarence, but once you get to know him, you might find he's the biggest catch on our list. With eyes you could get lost in and a soft-spoken nature, Clarence is exactly the kind of guy you'll be dying to bring home to mom. I've heard rumors he'll even let you play with the bumpers up and pay for bowling alley nachos on the first date. How romantic!4. Shangor Raul Loperdicus VIIEvery list has to have a funny man, and Shangor fits the bill. Always ready with a witty quip or a funny voice, Shangor will have you rolling in the aisles (or should I say, rolling in the lanes!). He's got class-clown charm with a grown-up sensibility. And with a smile as gorgeous as Shangor's, you'll spend your whole night trying to keep up. But don't worry, he's not all fun and games. According to Shangor's OKCupid profile, he says he "likes to just let love happen" and that "I'm just a boy, standing in front of a bowling alley, asking to bowl a strike." Ladies, get this one before he's gone.5. Sheila PomplemousseDon't worry, gentlemen, we haven't forgotten about you. Everyone's eyes were on one lady this year -- Sheila Pomplemousse, and it's easy to tell why. With an attitude at once self-confident and humble, a determination to win that can be seen during every match, and a clear nurturing element that will make her a great mother one day, Sheila is really the full package. Sheila has been a total firecracker on tour this year, and we know she's spurned the advances of at least one of the other bowlers on this list. And can you blame her? With such a promising career and endorsement deals rolling in, she's gotta take some time to think about herself. Hopefully once the playoffs are over, she'll have a little time to look for love, too. I know the men in our audience would certainly be happy if she did.6. Bonus Picture of Paul Rudd BowlingOkay, personality will only get you so far. So here's a picture of Paul Rudd looking handsome while bowling. You're welcome.And if you're interested in seeing some non-bowing athletes bowl, check out this gallery from Andy Gray.Follow Extra Mustard and Nicole Conlan on Twitter. Promoted Stories Comments

Haha, so many cock jokes in this, and a tank race? One of the best Tankmen parodies so far, by one of the best parody authors. The ending's pretty neat too, skipping out of the parody, and then out of the animation completely in two smooth transitions. Nice work!

good one
great concept and lots of fun. it took me a couple tries to stay alive long enough to enjoy it, but once you kind of get the hang of it it rocks!! simple controls and very addictive.
I love it! It's very fun. It's also very addictive. I hope you make even more better games.
It could be awesome
Good concept but way too hard. Perhaps it could start off easier and increase the amount of red balls as the game progresses.
i quite like this game as i like the challenging part of dodging the awsome amount of red BALLZ
Good game!
The game is good, it looks fine but mouse control would make this game even better.
Interesting choice of music to ^^

Is There a Benghazi Media Cover-up?
Is there a mainstream media cover-up of an Obama administration cover-up in the wake of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya, which left four Americans dead?
Since Sept. 12, the San Francisco Chronicle, where I work, has run about 67 stories, items, editorials, columns and letters that mention Benghazi. In September, I criticized Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and White House press secretary Jay Carney for claiming that an anti-Islam video had incited the attack, not al-Qaida-inspired terrorists.
Some readers tell me that they see the Chronicle's failure to run a rash of front-page stories as proof of bias. They have a point, but they fail to appreciate the local emphasis in today's front-page placement, especially during a presidential election and a World Series, which the Giants, incidentally, won 4-zip.
Most important is the resources issue. Most dailies don't have foreign bureaus or reporters with the sources needed to break this type of story. "I don't think there's a bias issue, but we do have to rely on our primary news services," Chronicle Editor Ward H. Bushee told me.
That's where networks and other national news organizations come in — and many have produced important stories.
Before FBI investigators ventured into Benghazi, CNN reporter Arwa Damon found the journal of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, who died in Benghazi, at the mission. CNN then reported on Stevens' concern about security in Benghazi.
From the Rose Garden the day after the attack, President Barack Obama declared, "We will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people." Yet on Oct. 19, The New York Times reported that Ansar al-Shariah leader and suspected Benghazi ringleader Ahmed Abu Khattala was seen in a crowded Benghazi luxury hotel sipping mango juice as he claimed that no Libyan authorities had questioned him and that, by the way, he had no plans to go into hiding.
That scoop stands in stark contrast to the Times' failure to run a front-page story on a congressional hearing on the incident — for which the paper's public editor, Margaret Sullivan, scolded the editors' poor news judgment Oct. 11.
Fox News has been all over this story. On Friday, correspondent Jennifer Griffin reported that sources told her that a CIA team — including Tyrone Woods, who also died in Benghazi — had requested military backup during the attack but was told to "stand down." The CIA dismissed the story as "inaccurate."
A drone was deployed over Benghazi during the attack, which lasted about seven hours. Yet Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters that he hadn't known enough about what was happening in real time to authorize a military rescue.
The Chronicle's most recent story on Benghazi ran Oct. 25. It reported that on Sept. 11, the State Department emailed the White House that Ansar al-Shariah had claimed responsibility for the attack. That would be shortly after 6 p.m. Eastern time. What did Obama know that night? When did he know it? And what did he do about it? Ditto Langley and the Pentagon.
Now ask yourself this: If George W. Bush were president and the press didn't know what he did on the evening of the Benghazi attack, do you think there would be the same focus in the media? I think we know the answer.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Kids approached in suspicious Tyndall Park incident
Winnipeg police are warning parents after a mother reported a stranger asked her kids to" take his dog for a ride" in a suspicious encounter.
Police said they were called to a store on Keewatin Street and Burrows Avenue Friday evening.
Keewatin and Burrows is a busy Tyndall Park shopping district with supermarkets and other stores. Police did not release the exact location.
But what happened there Friday evening should concern every parent, police said.
The mother said she briefly went inside the store while her four children waited outside.
They ran in after her in a panic after they said an unknown man in his 40s or 50s approached them after she was inside.
The man asked the two older children if they would like "his dog to take their two younger siblings for a ride," police said.
The four instead took off into the store to find their mother, who called police and reported the incident.
The kids were unharmed. The man is described as having a medium build, with a five-o'-clock shadow and short salt-and-pepper hair. He was wearing a large black sweater and blue jeans.
The dog is described as being gold in colour with a red collar.
The vehicle is described as a white Jeep style with four doors and a black curved stripe at the rear quarter panel.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers at (204) 786-TIPS (8477).

Much better than the first version that was a hugging machine. They set it to the wrong pressure level and it nearly crushed three guys before somebody complained.

The Nanomaterial Registry: facilitating the sharing and analysis of data in the diverse nanomaterial community
Authors Ostraat ML, Mills KC, Guzan KA, Murry D

Abstract: The amount of data being generated in the nanotechnology research space is significant, and the coordination, sharing, and downstream analysis of the data is complex and consistently deliberated. The complexities of the data are due in large part to the inherently complicated characteristics of nanomaterials. Also, testing protocols and assays used for nanomaterials are diverse and lacking standardization. The Nanomaterial Registry has been developed to address such challenges as the need for standard methods, data formatting, and controlled vocabularies for data sharing. The Registry is an authoritative, web-based tool whose purpose is to simplify the community's level of effort in assessing nanomaterial data from environmental and biological interaction studies. Because the registry is meant to be an authoritative resource, all data-driven content is systematically archived and reviewed by subject-matter experts. To support and advance nanomaterial research, a set of minimal information about nanomaterials (MIAN) has been developed and is foundational to the Registry data model. The MIAN has been used to create evaluation and similarity criteria for nanomaterials that are curated into the Registry. The Registry is a publicly available resource that is being built through collaborations with many stakeholder groups in the nanotechnology community, including industry, regulatory, government, and academia. Features of the Registry website (https://www.nanomaterialregistry.org/) currently include search, browse, side-by-side comparison of nanomaterials, compliance ratings based on the quality and quantity of data, and the ability to search for similar nanomaterials within the Registry. This paper is a modification and extension of a proceedings paper for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm working on a wordmark for a consulting firm that mostly does business with the government. Currently it's just ff Olsen with some minor alterations (rounded Corners, shortened ascender and took in the serifs a bit).
Let me know what you think. Is it too plain? awkward looking etc... I think I'm losing the forest for the trees on this one and need some feedback.
Hey Guys !
I'm looking for a good font to create and all font logo.
Attached is the style I'm looking for.
Tips and ideas are welcome !
Thanks !
I've been looking for this font for sometime now can anyone please help me out.
Can anyone help, please?
I am no type expert, but a friend of mine asked me to make changes to a logo for him. Original designer cut up files so I can't determine which fonts these are. There are two different fonts in this logo:
I'm currently working on the logotype for author Ethan Risso, and I would really appreciate other sets of eyes to see how it is looking so far. Thanks in advance!
This logo was designed for us by an advertising agency designer who has since left the agency. The CD has no record of the work, and I have had no luck trying to identify the font. One special feature of the font is the letter "k". Does anyone know the name of this font?
Tom Kerr
Just wondering if anyone knows the font used (or a similar one) in this "2013" text font (see attachment). This is from the 2013 Billboard Music Awards Logo. Thanks.
This is logo for Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon mod for Battlefield 1942.
There is a logo I'm working on and now I've been struggling to find a typeface that would nicely complement it. I thought that I could perform some crowdsourcing here on Typophile. I can't show the logo now but the attached image sums it up pretty well. It's geometric, modern, rounded, drawn on a grid but at the same time looks like made with a flat calligraphic brush.
I must say that so far only Museo looks like a good match but I'm slightly put off by the fact its free and ubiquitous. If nothing better is found I might fall back to it, however.
Thanks in advance!
Key words to consider: contemporary, community, traditional values.
If anyone could identify or recommend a font similar to the letters PAGO in their logo, the juice that is, I would be really grateful.
Thanks in advance
Please help identify the Europop logo font pictured :)
Hi, guys.
Can anyone identify a font from the logo?
need your help guys, what's the font for GAP, la senza, next, bebe and braun buffel? thanks a lot!
Hi there!
I am fairly new to vectorizing type and I would like some very constructive and critical feedback. I am very new to Glyphs and that is what I used to build this out (see the below to get all intimate with my nodes). Please let me know what you think! Where I can improve it, and other thoughts.
Font of "HOUSTON 2013" on NBA All Star Game ?
Hello, I search the font of this logo, the official logo of the NBA All Star Game 2013 in Houston last February, particulary the font of HOUSTON 2013. If you don't know, can somebody tell me a font resembling ? (the shape of the circles, the octogon of the "0"...)
Thank you very much (Sorry for my bad english, I'm French)
Hi Guys,
I don't actually use this forum like I should be because I'm not a typographer by any means but it's a brilliant resource for getting advice on type related design (lets admit it, 90% of it is type) and you guys are pros when it comes to whitespace and composition. I try to throw my opinion in when its suitable and helpful.
Today I thought I'd post a completed job for it to be torn apart and learn me something.
Red Courgette is a client of mine headed by an over-qualified chef. She's done the rounds of restaurants and world travel and has decided to dig into the catering pie to deliver her delicious goods with credits in the right places.
I'm trying to put together a nice presentation template for my new department at work. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my talks, and so I'm not happy to putting a pixelated PNG in my talk as the department logo.
Unfortunately, the person who put this image together is no longer working here, I'm told, so noone knows what font was used. I'm trying to recreate this logo in high quality.
I'd like to request an ID on this font, and ideally, a free font that is as close to this one as possible, such that I may recreate it.
I think I've IDed the font as Scylla, although confirmation would be fantastic. It's not free, so I can't try it. I've attached the logo, and look forward to your opinions and suggstions.
Trying to figure out the serif typeface used in the CautionWear logo. All responses are appreciated!
Hi all,
This is a serpentine-like font we used to letter a truck for one of our customers. We don't have the true-type file.
I'd appreciate it if you could take a look and a guess at what the font is.
Any comments on this logo for an architectural practice:
I would like some suggestions and advice of what to keep in mind when choosing a new font for company that goes with an old logo.
My company is changing its website, and wants to keep its existing logo, but change the font that goes with it. The logo is square, has three parts and is brown and blue.
My existing font on website is Eurostyle Extended, on existing letterhead I don't know what it is, but is different on all marketing tools like visiting card, letterhead etc.
Hence to freeze on one font, how should I go about picking one? Our band roughly stands for innovation, young and dynamic staff, agriculture and biotechnology related business.
I personally like Calibri, but not sure if it goes.
I did make some headway by not using heavy weights. Throwing in a light Dicot (not sure where this came from... can't find info on origins). But I feel like the swell? fillet? (the round corners) aren't doing me any favors.

What ATV to buy??!!
I went looking for 2 new ATV's yesterday. Always liked Honda so was pretty dead set on that brand. I also wont buy anything except 4x4 and automatic. So basically I want a top of the line ATV, nothing small. Main uses would be riding trails, but thought about putting a plow on one and a sprayer on the other. Well after going to the dealer, he suggested I look at Kawasaki since they were offering a $1300 rebate right now. Prices below include everything except tax. So below is the breakdown and I need help because I cant decide!
2010 Honda Rincon 680cc 4x4 Fully Auto independent rear susp. - $7999
2009 Honda Rubicon 500cc 4x4 Auto solid rear axle - $7199
2010 Kawasaki Brute Force 750cc 4x4 Auto independent rear susp - $7100
Kawasaki includes trailer hitch and 12V outlet standard. Options on the Honda. Honda has ALOT better financing also. Was going to pay cash for one, finance the other. Please help me choose!
2014 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins
2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Dump

Jerome Starkey, The Times of London correspondent in Afghanistan.
Glenn Greenwald, constitutional law attorney and political and legal blogger for Salon.com
US-led forces have admitted for the first time to killing two pregnant Afghan women and a teenage girl during a nighttime raid in eastern Afghanistan on February 12th. NATO officials initially denied any involvement but were later forced to admit to the killings after the Times of London and other news outlets published accounts of survivors who described how the atrocity was carried out by US-led forces. We speak with Jerome Starkey, the Times of London correspondent in Afghanistan who broke the story. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: We move now from a story on the US killing of civilians in Iraq to a story of the US killing of civilians in Afghanistan. US-led forces have admitted for the first time to killing two pregnant Afghan women and a teenage girl during a nighttime raid in eastern Afghanistan on February 12th.
NATO officials initially denied any involvement and claimed that the women had been tied up, gagged and killed hours before the raid. But officials were forced to admit to the killings after the Times of London and other news outlets published accounts of survivors who described how the atrocity was carried out by US-led forces.
One of the women killed was a pregnant mother of ten. Another was a pregnant mother of six. Afghan investigators told the Times of London US Special Forces soldiers tried to cover up the killings. US forces reportedly dug the bullets out of their victims' bodies, then washed the wounds with alcohol, before lying to their superiors about what happened. Despite admitting to the killings, NATO officials continue to deny there was a cover-up and said that an ongoing legal investigation has found no evidence of inappropriate conduct.
Jerome Starkey is with us now from Kabul. He writes for the Times of London in Afghanistan. He broke the story. NATO singled out Starkey's reporting in its denial of the cover-up, saying his claims were categorically false. Since then, the United Nations and the New York Times have corroborated his claims.
Jerome Starkey, tell us exactly how you discovered this story and what you found.
JEROME STARKEY: Well, my attention was first brought to this story by [inaudible] and extraordinary press release, which talked about the gruesome discovery of these three women tied up, gagged and killed. And that just sounded incredibly unusual to me, so although they immediately —- soon after the raid, we made contact with survivors, with relatives, and we made our way down to Gardez. And the family took us to the scene of the raid. And there they took us through what happened, piece by piece. We realized that [inaudible] -—
AMY GOODMAN: Jerome, I'm just going to interrupt for a sec — Jerome, I just want to interrupt for a second. If you're on speakerphone, could you come off it? We're just having a hard time understanding you.
JEROME STARKEY: No, no. I'm not on speakerphone.
AMY GOODMAN: Much better, much better.
JEROME STARKEY: Fine, is that any better?
AMY GOODMAN: It's a little better, as close as you can to the phone.
JEROME STARKEY: My attention was first drawn to this story by [inaudible] press release, an extraordinary press release, which talked about the bodies, women's bodies, being discovered tied up, gagged and killed. Just sounded so unusual, so we made contact with relatives, survivors, people who have been there, including the vice chancellor of Gardez University. And they invited us down to Gardez, and they said if we could get to Gardez, they would guarantee our protection, they would take us out to the scene. And that's what they did.
And when we were there, we had a series of interviews with survivors or Afghan officials. Piece by piece, [inaudible] the story just unraveled. They said that several militants were killed. When we spoke to the family, when we spoke to local officials, we discovered three women and two men were killed. One of the men was a policeman, and the other one was a district prosecutor. They certainly weren't militant. In further questioning, we discovered that in fact two of the women were pregnant, and all three of the women, despite military claims, were killed by the raiding.
AMY GOODMAN: Continue to talk right into the phone. How do you know that the soldiers, these Special Forces soldiers, pulled the bullets out of the bodies, presumably to cover up that, you know, they could be traced?
JEROME STARKEY: Well, the nature of these operations means that the only way we'll really ever know exactly what happened on that night is if any of the soldiers involved ever get an attack of consciousness and choose to speak out, because the only people who really know what happened are either part of that force or they're dead, because the room in which this is alleged to have happened, the only people who were alive at the time were the US Special Forces.
But the first time this claim of removing the bullets was made to me came from Haji Sharabuddin, the head of the family. He said to me that when we were in the room where four of the five people were killed, he is disgusted and appalled, and he was angry. And he said, "And on top of killing them, they dug out the bullets." But it wasn't — when he said it to me, it wasn't as if he was alleging any sort of conspiracy; it was more that he was alleging a double violation of the bodies. When [inaudible] is so hard to verify, I almost didn't write it down in my notebook. And I certainly didn't report it in our initial coverage of the story, because it's one of these things that's just so hard to be sure about.
Nonetheless, many weeks later, when I spoke to the Afghan — or I spoke to officials involved, closely involved, in the Afghan investigation, and they had arrived at the scene within hours of the raid — compared to me, I arrived almost a month after it happened — and they confirmed these allegations. And they had drawn this conclusion on the basis of testimony of the survivors, on the basis of analysis of photographs of the victims' bodies, particularly photographs and footage of the entry wound, where the bullets appear to have gone in, and because they said they had been unable to recover all of the bullets that they understood had been fired during the raid.
AMY GOODMAN: Jerome Starkey, the Pentagon calling your charges blatantly false? Jerome? Jerome? Well, let me —
JEROME STARKEY: Hello?
AMY GOODMAN: Hi, Jerome. Can you hear me?
JEROME STARKEY: I can hear you now.
AMY GOODMAN: OK. The Pentagon calling your charges blatantly false?
JEROME STARKEY: Well, indeed. And not only did they categorically deny my suggestion of a cover-up when we first made it last month, they maintain that whilst they now admit the three women they said they found killed, they in fact killed them, they insist still this wasn't a cover-up, this was a cultural misunderstanding.
Their claim, which might seem increasingly ridiculous, is based on the fact that they say the force on the ground, which we understand included Afghans, who should, if they had seen these bodies, been very simple for them to identify that what the US forces thought were bindings and gags were just in fact normal ritual funeral preparations.
And one of the things to come out of the Afghan investigation, which is very unusual, is that we understand the Special Forces sealed off the compound from 4:00 a.m., when they first arrived, until 11:00 a.m. that morning. That's more than seven hours. And Afghan officials said that just seven bullets were fired during the course of the attack. So it's not exactly clear, still not clear, why the US Special Forces would have stayed on location for such a long time. And we understand it's during that time, during some of that time, that some of the relatives began preparing their dead wives, daughters, brothers, fathers for burial.
AMY GOODMAN: Jerome Starkey, I want to thank you for being with us, Times of London correspondent in Kabul, Afghanistan, broke the story.
Glenn Greenwald, we just have thirty seconds, but the significance of this and how the press covered this attack?
GLENN GREENWALD: The similarities between this story and the Iraq one we just talked about are obvious. Here you have an incident that we know about only because of sheer luck and determination on the part of a single reporter, and again the military lying about what took place. And if you go back and read the accounts from CNN, the New York Times and others, all they do is mindlessly repeat what the Pentagon said without any questioning at all. That's the way the media reports on these things. That's how we, as a country, end up propagandized about it.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, Glenn Greenwald, I want to thank you for being with us, blogger for Salon.com. And again, thank you to Jerome Starkey, who is in Kabul, Afghanistan now.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has not determined the overall cost of the search and recovery operation for the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 which went missing on March 8, the Dewan Negara was informed here Monday.
Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi said the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) required every country to provide search and rescue services within their jurisdiction under Annex 12 of the Chicago Convention 1994.
This meant that the SAR cost would be shared by all the countries involved, he said to a question from Senator Rohani Abdullah on the cost of the operation so far.
"So far 26 countries, 89 aircraft, 80 ships, several satellites, a submarine and an autonomous underwater vehicle have been involved in the operation," he added.
The search is now focused at the southern Indian Ocean, south west of Perth, Australia.
MH370 with 239 people aboard left the KL International Airport at 12.41am on March 8 and disappeared from radar screens about an hour later while over the South China Sea. It was to have arrived in Beijing at 6.30am the same day.
A multinational search was mounted for the Boeing 777-200 aircraft, first in the South China Sea and then, after it was learnt that the plane had veered off course, in the southern Indian Ocean.
