Alik Griffin | 17,006 | PhotographersSo I think I've finally got a pretty solid circle of photographers ready to share. I've been refining this for the last month, adding photographers who have a good eye and aesthetic that I think are good. I like photography that takes you places and allows you to see people and things from all parts of the world from perspectives you've never seen before. I think many of the photographers in this circle do that very well. These are all very active G+ users and should provide your stream with some really nice content. If you are new to G+ you can start growing your network and enhancing your stream with with some of googles greatest.Please share.#photography #photographers #sharedcircles #artists | 2012-04-13 00:13:54 | 485 | 38 | 30 | 34 | CC G+ |

Daniel Karlsson | 5,029 | Skandinavisk cirkelDet här är alla som tackat ja till att vara med i skandinaviska cirkeln. Det är alltså plussare som garanterat är aktiva och intresserade. Precis som vi vill ha det. :) Eftersom det blev ganska få tycker jag ändå vi lägger till människor som andra uppfattar som aktiva och intresserade. Inte bara jag. Fritt fram med förslag! Känner du till plussare som postar eller kommenterar på skandinaviskt språk så platsar det att rekommendera dem här. Det får väldigt gärna vara hyggliga personer som är aktiva här på plus. Om du vill göra det extra enkelt för mig skriver du ett namn per kommentar. Gärna med en kort förklaring. Om vi har ett namn per kommentar kan man plussa på ett enskilt namn. Då syns det tydligt vilka som flera tycker passar i cirkeln. Tänk på att det ska vara kvalitet inte kvantitet. Det är bättre med 27 aktiva deltagare än 300 passiva i en delad cirkel, tycker jag. Det här är en bra början! #Skandinavisk | 2012-02-15 20:21:17 | 27 | 10 | 3 | 8 | CC G+ |

Sorry this image is no longer available
Like a mad Russian president I am going after my own, locking up images and making them disappear like there is no to morrow. Now there are only very few images left from Iceland so if you have been thinking about buying some of my Icelandic landscape images you better hurry. They might vanish over night into some dark gulag.

I am closing shop clearance sale on my photography only 28 days left
You might not want to try out your luck this time. I am closing shop and every day of every week until 1 of april some images vanish from my site. If you have set your eyes on some of my color images to morrow might be to late. I dont know what I kill on any given day and neither does any one else. It depends on my mood and my thought that day. There is no other criteria as all images will be gone by 1 of april when I close the color image shop. So if you want to own an image from me act fast and invest now. To morrow might become never.

Unfortunately there is no tradition of fashion photography in Iceland. Even though the fashion industry has evolved greatly in the past 15 years or so its still so small that its impossible for a photographer to make a sustainable living from it. Therefore we cant say that we have many great fashion photographers.

Building a large stitching pony for leather work with out spending a dime
Building a beautiful large stitching pony for leather work is not as hard as one would think and there is a good chance that the material needed is somewhere right in front of you. Now I do not recommend that you start shopping up your furniture like I have done previously, but a chair is the solution just like before.

When this phrase was first mentioned to me it filled me with horror. Sounded as dreadful then as it sounds now even though I did learn that it had to do with out takes from a shooting or simply being selective of your images and edit vigorously with out any mercy. .........

Should you become a professional photographer
Should I become a professional photographer is a question that many ask them self now. Both young and old have this dream and wonder if they should do some thing about it. The short answer is NO. The long answer is: Don't be utterly stupid, do some thing else. But there is also a little bit longer answer to this question.

What do you want from your #photography …
Many years ago a photographer visiting Iceland asked me this question. What do you want. Then he added don't say photoshop. This was at the time photoshop was taken over the scene, but I had been using it for such a long time I did not understand what it had to do with any thing. When he did see the puzzled look on my face he asked again. What do you want from your photography. What is your vision.

I need your help - Street photography for sale
Read this then share this please.
Do you know of any one that wants a beautiful piece of photograph then let them know about this opportunity. I need to sell 100 pieces of my work before end of the month or this is the end of the photography road for me. In order to do that I have set down the price of my images and from the moment I reach the goal of having sold 100 images I will round up the number in tenths of the images and confine them to be sold in that limit. So in an instance of me selling 22 pieces of one of my images I will round the edition up to 30 and that will be the end edition of that particular image.
So why am I doing this. Because I need money fast to save my beaten behind from catastrophe. If I can not reach this goal I will not be able to work on my images and my upcoming books in the nea... mehr »

Pleasure of the pain
I cant remember when my body was acing as much as it does now. Every joint and muscle tell me that I behaved stupidly and should either start to think of my age or train harder before doing a stunt like the other day.
the last time I remember being as tired as after the thursday trip was when we hiked this Canyon. The Copper Canyon it self. Down 1000m in the valley in foreground and up on the other side to then walk all the way to Badopilas that is beyond what you can see on this image.
With backpack I could not lift on to my back (thanks to being a stupid dslr photographer unable to leave any lenses at home it was around 30kg) and then up to 10ltr of water beside every thing else it was probably the biggest challenge of my life.
I still cant figure it out how my wife Guðný Guðjónsdóttir and the dog Tara did make it

Facebook After Death Bill Gets Hearing
The proposal would grant executors power over the social media accounts of the deceased.
According to its sponsor, Manchester Democrat Peter Sullivan, giving executors access to a decedent's social media accounts would bring probate law into the 21st century.
"This would give the families a sense of closure, a sense of peace. It would help prevent this form of bullying that continues even after someone dies and nobody is really harmed by it."
Sullivan says the law would give NH residents protections he says are lacking in the policies of social media companies like Facebook and Twitter. A few states have already enacted laws to clarify the digital rights of the dead. A lawyer with the NH bar association called Sullivan's proposal well-intentioned, but questioned whether the issue would be better handled with a federal law.

The fabric felt really nice, and the gloves had just a slight compression. After only two weeks however, the thumb seam on the right glove completely came apart. Very disappointed.
I love these gloves!

I wear these gloves daily all day long. I suffer from peripherial neuropathy in my hands and these gloves are great for keeping my hands warm. They have allowed me to continue working because I use a computer for 95% of my job and I can type on my keyboard while wearing them.

We're looking for the first fan blogger on bobcatsbreak.com and knew Bobcats Planet was a great place to start. We'd love to have one of you guys join the official blog site of the Charlotte Bobcats. Send us a blog explaining why you deserve to be our first fan blogger here - http://www.bobcatsbreak.com/?p=2621
Thanks in advance. I look forward to reading your stuff.
It is indeed, the infamous Matt Rochinski.
Although Matt, I doubt I could do it since I'm pretty opinionated, and I would criticize Rod + LB on a regular basis. So unless thats allowed, I don't know how many would be interested. Plus, I can't say Boris Diaw is a fat fuck on Bobcats.com
But you have passion & knowledge, I think that's the key!
I wrote mine. Why not!
All the best to whoever gets it. I would love to blog, but I'm certainly not qualified nor able to get the best coverage (due to my location).
Hopefully it's someone here from BCP, all the best to you guys who apply .
I loled @ Teej's comment. Sad...but so true.
P.S If you want a blogger to cover the Ladycats, I'm pretty sure Ziggy/Swedd/Teej would be more than willing to cover them, especially if they're able to interview them face to face and 1 on 1.
Proud Australian Bobcats Fan!!!
Teej is a very good blogger and would do us proud. Another is BigCatBobcat. I love the wit he inserts in his pieces...and it doesn't hurt that I usually agree with what he's posting!
Toocool is also selling himself a little short methinks. Unless of course he's right in that the one selected gets to do personal interviews with the Lady Cats. If that's so then I want it!
I don't think Matt/Bobcats can go wrong if it's anyone from here.

"I don't care if he uses a sophisticated pulley and tackle system to get his shot off if the bitch goes in."-Mustachio
For me, I think I've made a couple hundred too many Sean May fat jokes to be considered
I wonder if I could get away with using this imagery on a blog post over there
Always knew you had a serious man-crush on me .
On a serious note, Matt I would suggest you look around. A lot of guys (even if they don't blog) have great things to say, and great opinions. The best way is not to get only 1 fan blogger, but a few.
All the best in your search!

Arts/Culture: People: South African Artist Paul du Toit
South African Artist Paul du Toit
A few years ago, Cape Town -based artist Paul du Toit (www.pauldutoit.com), received a call inviting him to work with South African icon Nelson Mandela. "It was an incredible honor," says du Toit who works in painting, sculpture, paper and mixed media, and who ended up casting Mandela's hands and creating a moving realistic sculpture.
This year, du Toit is back at work in collaboration with 46664, a non-profit named for Mandela's prison number, as well as the former president's foundation, which are hosting a series of special events in New York City this July. There will be an auction of another du Toit sandstone sculpture, as well as various performances and lectures. For more information about the Mandela Day Concert, on July 18 at Madison Square Garden, which features an impressive line-up of South African musicians and performers, visit www.mandeladay.com.
Du Toit recently hosted a group of journalists, including Indagare's Simone Girner, for lunch in the impressive wine cellar of his Hout Bay atelier, which can be visited by appointment. He spoke about his work and South Africa's burgeoning contemporary art scene.
Can you speak about your inspiration and what you are working on?
I live in my head a lot and have developed this method of scanning and retaining only elements that fit into how I see the world. I am always looking for a new line. In the desert and mountain ranges in South Africa, I look at cave drawings and petroglyphs for inspiration and ancient writing systems. In cities, I look at graffiti or people writing and making marks, especially children. How they draw is very inspiring. Currently I am working on the third project with Nelson Mandela, this time the project is all about leaving imprints and I am taking imprints of his hands. This will all build up to Mandela day, to be held in New York on July 18.
What do you find most encouraging/discouraging when you look at how the contemporary art scene has developed in South Africa in the last decade?
Encouraging is how everything opened up after 1994, and with the help of the Internet we can get our work exposed as artists. I see this when we travel abroad. The interest in what else is out there in South Africa comes through strongly. Discouraging is how little support there is for the arts in South Africa.
What did it mean to be chosen to work with Nelson Mandela?
What an honor to work with the Nelson Mandela, and repeatedly on top of it. He has made the world and especially South Africa a better place to live in, for me and my children. I look and think of things differently now that I have met him. Life is effort, and I try to instill that in my kids now.
What is your most vivid memory of meeting Mandela?
The way he touches everyone he meets. The first time I met him, it took him a while to get out of the car; he was almost ninety and he had some trouble getting to stand up straight. He said something in Xhosa when he saw me. Asked what he meant, he translated the saying in English: 'You must first allow yourself to be a dwarf in order to let yourself grow.' That stuck with me. It is an amazing thing meeting your hero and one of the world's biggest icons.
What are some of the galleries you like in Cape Town and Johannesburg?
In Cape Town, I like 34 Long Street Gallery, because they position themselves outside of the local art politics. In Johannesburg, Graham Fine Art Gallery. Both of these galleries are totally committed to art 24/7, which is rare in South Africa
What are your top five must-sees in Cape Town for first-time visitors?
The penguins at Boulders Beach, because they are such funny creatures. Cape Point. The desert just north of Cape Town (in Richtersveldt); it is such an amazing thing to be 100 miles from nowhere and feel so insignificant. Underneath the top layer of sand, you can find 4000-year-old beads as well as rock engravings dating back further. The Misty Cliffs, which are great for surfing and windsurfing. And Table Mountain, of course.
What are your favorite restaurants in Cape Town?
Willoughby & Co (Shop 6132 Lower Level, Victoria Wharf, V&A Waterfront) for Sushi. The chef is one of the best in the world and reinvents dishes all the time. We now also have a Nobu, and all I can say is that it's rare to experience new tastes as an adult, since you have tried most things. But at Nobu, it happens.
What are some great activities to do with kids in and around Cape Town?
For my family, it's watersports, because the ocean is so accessible. Anything to do with the wind, because we have so much of it (windsurfing, kiteboarding). Skateboarding has made a huge comeback. We are also spoiled with nature and try and enjoy it is much as possible.
What do you love the most about Cape Town?
When I travel, I measure a place by seeing how many of my senses get attacked. In South Africa, it's all of them: the smell of local cuisine, sounds of people and music, unique beauty and sights, textures and color. So many things are unique and different. I find it to be unlike anyplace else on earth.
What are some other favorite places you like to visit in South Africa?
You can drive in any direction for a different experience. I like the secluded, unspoiled beaches closer to the southern tip of South Africa. Also the desert is very special and truly undiscovered (how many places like that do you still find in the world?). Small towns are scattered around the country that have a rich history and colorful people that keep things interesting.
Studio visits to Paul's Houk Bay studio can be arranged. Contact Indagare for an introduction.

Mariah Carey Drinks Beer to Help Breastfeeding
May 16, 2011
© iStockphoto
Nick Cannon is expressing his anger about tabloids reports that there was alcohol and drug activity in wife Mariah Carey's hospital room after the birth of their twins Moroccan and Monroe on April 30. Child Protective Services were actually called following the reports, although the matter was quickly resolved.
Plus: Jail Time for Breastfeeding Under the Influence?
The drinking part, Cannon says, is actually true. A nurse suggested Mariah try a beer to help with nursing, since lots of people think that its yeast can aid in breastfeeding. And we'd like to add that after nine months of no booze, a couple sips of brewski tastes very very good.
Plus: Real Mom Breastfeeding Stories
Did you ever hear that beer can help you nurse? Did you occasionally indulge in light drinking while breastfeeding, or did you abstain altogether?

Company launches crowdfunding campaign in support of innovative guitar accessory
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Singular Sound will announce the launch of their crowdfunding campaign to support the production of the BeatBuddy -- the world's first guitar pedal drum machine.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131216/PH34035-a )
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131216/PH34035-b )
Unlike all current drum machines, the BeatBuddy is in a pedal format, granting musicians a previously unobtainable ability -- hands-free, creative control of a beat. This gives solo musicians the benefit of drums without a drummer.
"Drummers are hard to come by, and drum sets are even harder to carry," said founder and developer David Packouz, "and drum machines are practically useless for jamming or live performance. The BeatBuddy is the first product to solve this fundamental problem. It's the power of a drum machine, but the simplicity of a pedal."
Features of the BeatBuddy include:
In addition, Singular Sound will host a forum in which BeatBuddy users can upload and share their custom beats and drum sets. "The BeatBuddy is not just a pedal -- it's a platform," added Packouz.
The BeatBuddy will retail for $350(USD), but early birds who help fund the production through Singular Sound's Indiegogo campaign will be able to score one for as little as $179(USD). However, that price will only be available for the first 500 supporters.
For further information on the BeatBuddy and to back the project today, visit: igg.me/at/BeatBuddy

West Virginia needs comprehensive sex education to lower the teen birth rate, Hale said.
"What I found out is that comprehensive sex education is a known preventative strategy and the department of education has this fantastic sex education curriculum from fifth grade to twelfth ... the problem is that a lot of schools aren't implementing it because of the fear of talking about sex," Hale said.
That attitude is not helping decrease the rate of teen births, she said. Everyone can do something to change that attitude, she said.
"All of us need to pitch in," Hale said. "We all have a role."
It's also important that teenagers have a vision of their futures, she said.
Teen births have consequences, Hale said. One in three girls cites pregnancy as her reason for dropping out of high school, according to Kids Count. Babies born to teenage mothers who never married and didn't graduate high school are also more likely to be poor and unhealthy.
West Virginia had an overall ranking of 39th in the nation for the well being of its children. The ranking takes into account the percent of low birth-weight babies, infant mortality and child death rates, children in poverty, percentage of teens who are high school dropouts, percent of teens not attending school or working and others.

The economy is a dichotomy that as soon as you think you have it figured out, the projections you felt were safe get thrown upside down.

| Good New Horror What I'm looking for is good new horror authors/books. When I say new, I mean within the last twenty years or so. What I'm looking for specifically is authors who write with restraint and subtlety and not those who resort to base or visceral horror in order to shock and disgust. i.e. I'm not looking for the likes of Stephen King or Clive Barker. More the likes of Thomas Ligotti. So please, what should I be looking out for? |

| Re: Good New Horror HMMM...very good topic actually. I'm not that much up with the more contemporary horror writers, so I'll being keeping a keen eye on this thread myself....... Sorry I can't be of much help to you. |

| Re: Good New Horror One I would recommend is our friend W. H. Pugmire. His work is very seldom inclined to gore or violence save where the demands of the story require it, and even there tends to be brief and restrained. It is also often rather poetic in sensibility, with a strange wistfulness and pathos to it, and a dark sense of wonder and beauty. I would also suggest looking into Laird Barron. Though I have only read a tiny handful of his work, I must say I am quite impressed, and would recommend keeping an eye out for his work. Though I've not read the collection yet myself, all that I have heard about The Imago Sequence has been very high praise. Several of the writers being published by Hippocampus Press are well worth checking out, such as Jonathan Thomas, Joe Pulver, etc.: Fiction : Hippocampus Press Others come to mind, but I must dash; will try to drop in some more suggestions later.... |

| Re: Good New Horror Im looking for the same thing and wonder if anyone here has read Poppy Z Brite ? I thought she was an older generation writer since i have heard good things about her in this forum,others. I saw Lost Souls in library display counter. |

| Re: Good New Horror I'm afraid I'm going to go against the majority of opinion on this, but I have tried Poppy's work several times now... and I just cannot abide it for any length of time. I find the writing to be far too florid or to flat, depending; I don't find any originality in themes, handling, or worldview; and in general I simply feel she is horrendously overrated. I feel rather bad about saying that, as I would like to like her work, especially given the high opinion of her by others whose work I do admire, such as Caitlin R. Kiernan (another modern "horror" writer I would highly recommend). Sadly, however, I simply can't. This may just be a true blind spot on my part, but I have yet to find anyone who can truly answer my specific complaints about her writing. Take a look at her tale, "His Mouth Shall Taste of Wormwood" to see what I mean.... I'm going to go back a bit further than your cut-off point to recommend a couple of things, but as they are not often mentioned, and are still relatively "new", I hope I may be forgiven: Two pieces by Thomas Tryon: The Other (1971) and Harvest Home (1973). Tryon was a relatively minor actor -- good, but nothing outstanding -- but when he turned his hand to writing, he showed considerable talent and ability, and a surprisingly good literary style. The Other is also one of those pieces which blurs several boundaries, and is very well crafted. Harvest Home is no less finely crafted, but more of a "naturalistic" horror tale, whereas The Other can be viewed in several ways. I highly recommend both. Dan Simmons' Carrion Comfort (1989) has been mentioned here several times, and I would add that to the list. While an enormous book, it reads quickly, and is a very memorable experience. A few flawed spots here and there, but they are minor blemishes in a book of considerable power. |

| Re: Good New Horror Yes, I was going to mention Mr. Pugmire and Laird Barron but only because I've heard good things about them from other members and I quite like Dan Simmons' stuff. The others mentioned by J.D. I have never heard of, so I'll make a note of these....... Who would have thunk it that someone who spends sooooo much of their time ensconced amongst the Spectres of the 19th Century to emerge with such useful details regarding the contemporary scene........ |

| Re: Good New Horror Thanks for the recommendations so far. I have heard good things said about Laird Barron so I shall redouble my efforts to locate a copy of "The Imago Sequence". W. H. Pugmire's work sounds interesting too. And I will definitely pick up "Carrion Comfort" if I see it as I was very impressed with his "Song of Kali". I had contemplated Poppy Z Brite, in particular "Exquisite Corpse" which seems to be highly rated but I was deterred by the fact that it sounds too naturalistic for my taste and about a serial killer too (which doesn't appeal). What about Peter Straub? I know "Ghost Story" comes highly recommended but are any of his other works recommended? My second hand store has loads of his books... |

| Re: Good New Horror I only have Straub's Ghost Story and it was very good. I also have a copy of KOKO, which won the World Fantasy Award and is supposed to also be excellent. I am yet to read this one though. No doubt others will be able to add to this. |

| Re: Good New Horror I would second the Laird barron recommendation. His collection, The Imago Sequence, contains some first rate stories, the best of which (and one of the best I've read period) would be The Procession of the Black Sloth, perhaps in part because I have a familiarity with Hong Kong and the setting resonated with me quite strongly. It's also just damn well written and expertly developed with some genuinely creepy and horrific scenes. Likewise second WH Pugmire. Michael Cisco's work is well worth looking into. He's one of the most original horror fantasists around, I feel, with an hypnotising prose style and an incredibly fertile imagination. His short novel, The Divinity Student, is something of a classic, though his short stories (collected in Secret Hours) are equally mesmerizing, and their effect in such concentrated amounts can be almost overwhelming at times. The Ice Age of Dreams is a first-rate short story. Mark Samuels is a relatively new author whose collection, The White Hands, is well worth tracking down. Very similar in prose style to Ligotti, though a tad more traditional in theme. Mannequins in Aspects of Terror is a great little piece, a subtle, restrained nightmare. He's only written (to my knowledge) a single novel which, whilst good, doesn't really compare to his shorter pieces. Samuels, like Ligotti, is a writer whose work translates better to the short story form. I've not read as much as I'd like to by him, but Joel Lane is very good indeed. An afforable collection of his best short stories can be found in The Lost District, short sharp tales of urban alienation and moral decay. I know you didn't want any King-esque works but I feel that Norman Partridge's Dark Harvest deserves a mention. Written entirely in an omniscient present tense POV, this dense, fiery little crackerjack of a book set entirely in a small midwest town on the eve of Halloween is tremendously entertaining and a genuine revelation. It certainly gave me a new appreciation for how effective this type of more mainstream horror fiction can be. Rmasey Campbell still writes some fine work. I don't feel particularly qualified to speak on his earlier work, but I found his later novel, The Grin of the Dark, to be an eerie and disturbing piece, gradually (perhaps a little too gradually) building to a frenzied climax. |

| Re: Good New Horror I also just began the first book in Adam Niswander's Shaman Cycle last night. I've been hearing about Niswander for some time, and had picked up the first two books a while back, but had not got around to them. I can't say that the prose itself is particularly notable (though this is his first novel; he may have become more of a prose stylist since), though it is clear, lucid, and quite serviceable; just not something which calls attention to itself in any way. But the novel itself (so far) is very well done: good characterization, nicely structured, and, even though using an idea which is not particularly original, it has a fine feel to it, and the tension is palpably there, without any violence in incident or diction. If the rest of his work is as good as this one is up to this point, then I would not hesitate to add his name to the list, either. On Cisco: I've only read one story so far and, though I felt a bit of a letdown with the ending, otherwise it was very well done indeed. |

| Re: Good New Horror A couple (or more) suggestions again: Antique Dust, by Robert Westall A. F. Kidd (ps. of Chico Kidd) Both of these should appeal mightily to those who have enjoyed M. R. James' work, as they are obviously in the same vein, though each writer is nonetheless distinctively him- or herself. Antique Dust is apparently fairly easy to come by at a low price; but Ms. Kidd's two collections are rather more pricey, having been released by Ash-Tree Press: Summoning Knells and Other Inventions, and No. 472 Cheyne Walk (subtitled Carnacki: The Untold Stories), written with Rick Kennett. However, you can take a look at some of her work here: Chico Home Just click on the icons at the top of the page, and you can read about them and see samples as well. She has also been published in various anthologies of horror and ghost stories over the years, most of which can be picked up for very little. And last: Sherry Austin -- Mariah of the Spirits and Other Southern Ghost Stories (2002) This is one which is also fairly easily available, often for very little money. And for information on her work: Reviews |

By Sarah Turner and Nick Godt, MarketWatch
MUMBAI (MarketWatch) — Asian stock markets rose Wednesday, as investors weighed the chances of global policy action with worries about developments in Europe in the run-up to this weekend's election in Greece.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK -1.01% rose 0.6%, the Shanghai Composite Index /quotes/zigman/1858913/realtime CN:000001 -4.54% edged up 1.3%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI -1.87% gained 0.8%.
South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/realtime KR:SEU -1.03% rose 0.3%, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO -0.93% edged down 0.2%.
"Choppy range-trading appears the name of the game as we approach the back end of a week which is laden with a number of data and event risks, foremost being the Greek election," said Sue Trinh, strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
Among decliners, Hong-Kong-listed apparel firm Esprit /quotes/zigman/38257/realtime HK:330 -2.03% /quotes/zigman/38258/delayed/quotes/nls/eshdf ESHDF +2.11% plummeted 21.8% after the firm announced that its Chief Executive Officer Ronald van der Vis would resign for personal reasons, effective July 1.

This is bunk. Yet, everyone present at this memorial is likely to have endorsed Obama's verdict. "Everything you instilled in them" the President told the families, "the virtues of service and decency and duty were on display that December day. And our nation will be forever in your debt." While one can feel sympathy for the families of the bereaved and acknowledge the dedication of the agents, it is absurd to see them as heroes.
They were paid assassins.
Backed by the weaponry of the world's most belligerent nation and quarantined from legal consequences, the role of the agents was to eliminate "suspected militants", usually with drone strikes. According to Pakistani estimates, for every terrorist killed by drones, about 140 innocent civilians are slaughtered. This is not fair, it's not smart, it's not legal.
The first CIA air strikes of the Obama Administration took place in January last year - the President's third day in office. According to the New Yorker, one strike targeted the wrong house, hitting the residence of a pro west, pro-government tribal leader. The blast killed the patriarch's entire family, including three children, one of them five years old. In keeping with US policy, the strike was not acknowledged. Perhaps this is because in 1976 President Gerald R. Ford, signed an executive order banning American intelligence forces from engaging in assassination.
Such edicts are ineffectual, as the CIA is beyond the reach of the law. It operates in countries where US troops are not based, including Australia, where it uses the facilities of Pine Gap to blast away "bad guys". Since the loss of their agents, the CIA has switched to deep revenge, unleashing squadrons of drones on "suspects" and their families in remote tribal areas. This will recruit new militants, as will the ramped up torture, renditions, secret incarcerations.
Considering its blood-drenched history and the multiplicity of its brutal and indiscriminate operations, it is stupid to pretend the CIA is an engine of freedom. It is a blot on America, a curse on humanity and it is the world's biggest terrorist cell. Surely its time to freeze its funds and put the assassins out to grass.
There are few people in this world who would defend Gaddafi as a sane and viable leader of Libya; but I think there would be even less that would see the logic in the U.S selling guns to someone as psychotic as him and then parading about as world police.
It's the equivalent of a sheriff giving an outlaw a six-shooter and then acting surprised when he starts popping off the town folk.
The second one U.S plane gets shot down by one U.S surface-to-air missile, all the military big wigs should get together and make a decision once and for all - "we have to stop shooting at tyrants we've given guns to".

The complete disregard for sovereignty, justice and life makes me wonder whether the U.S looks out at the world says "these rights aren't for them, they're exclusively for US".

People's Liberation Army (PLA) Major General Luo Yuan, in a commentary published by state-owned website china.org.cn, said China has not abandoned the idea of "war at all costs" to protect its interests.
"'Peaceful rise and 'period of strategic opportunity' preclude war," said Luo, who has been described by Western media as "hawkish" for his ultranationalist views.
"It is incorrect to assume that China will completely rule out military action in any event during this 'period of strategic opportunity,'" he said, referring to Beijing's dispute with Manila.
