Doctor Zhivago is a British 1965 epic drama–romance film directed by David Lean, starring Omar Sharif and Julie Christie. It is set in Russia during World War I and the Revolution, and is loosely based on the Boris Pasternak novel of the same name, immensely popular in the west, but banned in Russia at the time. For this reason, the film could not be made there, but mostly in Spain.
The critics were generally disappointed, complaining of its length at over three hours, and claiming that it trivialised history, but acknowledging the intensity of the romantic drama and the treatment of human themes. The film won five Academy Awards, and as of 2014 is the eighth highest-grossing film of all time, adjusted for inflation.[1]
The film takes place mostly against a backdrop of World War I and the Russian Revolution. A narrative framing device, set in the late 1940s to early 1950s, involves KGB Lieutenant General Yevgraf Andreyevich Zhivago (Alec Guinness) searching for the daughter of his half brother, Doctor Yuri Andreyevich Zhivago (Omar Sharif), and Larissa ("Lara") Antipova (Julie Christie). Yevgraf believes a young woman, Tonya Komarova (Rita Tushingham), may be his niece and tells her the story of her father's life.
When Yuri Zhivago is orphaned after his mother's death, he is taken in by his mother's friends, Alexander "Pasha" (Ralph Richardson) and Anna (Siobhán McKenna) Gromeko, and grows up with their daughter Tonya (Geraldine Chaplin).
In 1913, Zhivago, as a medical student in training, but a poet at heart, meets Tonya as she returns to Moscow after a long trip to Paris. Lara, meanwhile, is involved in an affair with the older and well-connected Victor Ipolitovich Komarovsky (Rod Steiger), a friend of her mother's (Adrienne Corri). That night, the idealistic reformer Pavel Pavlovich ("Pasha") Antipov (Tom Courtenay) drifts into left-wing extremism after being wounded by sabre-wielding Cossacks during a peaceful demonstration. Pasha runs to Lara, whom he wants to marry, to treat his wound. He asks her to hide a gun he picked up at the demonstration. Lara's mother discovers her affair with Komarovsky and attempts suicide. Komarovsky summons help from the physician. Zhivago arrives as the physician's assistant. When Komarovsky learns of Lara's intentions to marry Pasha, he tries to dissuade Lara, and then rapes her. In revenge, Lara takes the pistol she has been hiding for Pasha and shoots Komarovsky at a Christmas Eve party, wounding him. Komarovsky insists no action be taken against Lara, who is escorted out by Pasha. Zhivago tends Komarovsky's wound. Although enraged and devastated by Lara's affair with Komarovsky, Pasha marries Lara, and they have a daughter named Katya.
During World War I, Yevgraf Zhivago is sent by the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party to subvert the Imperial Russian Army for the Bolsheviks. Pasha is reported missing in action following a daring charge attack on German forces. Lara enlists as a nurse to search for him. Yuri Zhivago is drafted and becomes a battlefield doctor.
During the February Revolution, Zhivago enlists Lara's help to tend to the wounded. Together they run a field hospital for six months, during which time radical changes ensue throughout Russia as Vladimir Lenin arrives in Moscow. Before their departure, Yuri and Lara fall in love, but Yuri remains loyal to Tonya, whom he already married.
After the war, Yuri returns to his wife Tonya, son Sasha, and Alexander, whose house in Moscow has been divided into tenements by the new Soviet government. Yevgraf, now a member of the CHEKA, informs him his poems have been condemned by Soviet censors as antagonistic to Communism. Yevgraf arranges for passes and documents in order for Yuri and his family to escape from the new political capital of Moscow to the far away Gromeko estate at Varykino, in the Ural Mountains. Zhivago, Tonya, Sasha and Alexander now board a heavily guarded cattle train, at which time they are informed that they will be travelling through contested territory, which is being secured by the infamous Bolshevik commander named Strelnikov.
While the train is stopped, Zhivago wanders away. He stumbles across the armoured train of Strelnikov himself sitting on a hidden siding. Yuri recognises Strelnikov as the former Pasha Antipov. After a tense interview, Strelnikov informs Yuri that Lara is now living in the town of Yuriatin, then occupied by anti-Communist White Army. He allows Zhivago to return to his family, although it is hinted by Strelnikov's right-hand man most people interrogated by Strelnikov end up being shot.
The family lives a peaceful life in Varykino until Zhivago finds Lara in nearby Yuriatin, at which point they surrender to their long-repressed feelings. When Tonya becomes pregnant, Yuri breaks off with Lara, only to be abducted and conscripted into service by Communist partisans.
After two years, Zhivago at last deserts and trudges through the deep snow to Yuriatin where he finds Lara. Lara tells Yuri that Tonya had found her while searching for him, and that his family is now in Moscow. She reveals a sealed letter Tonya had mailed to Lara 6 months ago to give to Yuri: Tonya, her father, and their children are being deported. Yuri and Lara renew their relationship.
One night, Komarovsky arrives and informs them they are being watched by the CHEKA due to Lara's marriage to Strelnikov and Yuri's "counter-revolutionary" poetry and desertion. Komarovsky offers Yuri and Lara his help in leaving Russia. They refuse. Instead, they go to the isolated Varykino estate, where Yuri begins writing the "Lara" poems, which will later make him famous but incur government displeasure. Komarovsky reappears and tells Yuri that Strelnikov was captured while returning to Lara and committed suicide en route to his own execution. Therefore, Lara is in immediate danger, as the CHEKA had only left her free to lure Strelnikov into the open. Zhivago sends Lara away with Komarovsky, who has become an official in the Far East. Refusing to leave with a man he despises, Yuri remains behind.
Years later, Yevgraf finds a destitute Yuri in Moscow during the Stalinist era and gives him a new suit and a job. While riding a tram, Yuri spots a woman he surely thinks is Lara walking on a nearby street. Unable to call her from the tram, Yuri struggles to get off at the next stop. Yuri runs after her but suffers a fatal heart attack before he can even signal to her, and the woman walks away oblivious to Yuri's presence. Yuri's funeral is well attended, as his poetry is already being published openly due to shifts in politics. Lara informs Yevgraf she had given birth to Yuri's daughter, but lost her in the collapse of the White-controlled government in Mongolia. After vainly looking over hundreds of orphans with Yevgraf's help, Lara disappears during Joseph Stalin's Great Purge, and "died or vanished somewhere...in one of the labour camps," according to Yevgraf.
While Yevgraf strongly believes that Tonya Komarova is Yuri's and Lara's daughter, he is still not convinced. Yevgraf notices that Tonya carries with her a balalaika, an instrument that Yuri's mother was renowned for playing. Finding Tonya learned to play the balalaika by herself, he smiles, "Ah, then, it's a gift," thereby implying she truly must be their daughter after all.

Boris Pasternak's 1957 novel was published in the West amidst celebration and controversy. Parts of Pasternak's book had been known in Samizdat since some time after World War II. However, the novel was not completed until 1956. The book had to be smuggled out of the Soviet Union by an Italian called D'angelo to whom Pasternak had entrusted the book to be delivered to Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, a left-wing Italian publisher who published it shortly thereafter. Helped by a Soviet campaign against the novel, it became a sensation throughout the non-communist world. It spent 26 weeks atop the New York Times best-seller list.
A great lyric poet, Pasternak was awarded the 1958 Nobel Prize for Literature. While the citation noted his poetry, it was understood that the prize was mainly for Doctor Zhivago, which the Soviet government saw as an anti-Soviet work, thus interpreting the award of the Nobel Prize as a gesture hostile to the Soviet Union. A target of the Soviet government's fervent campaign to label him a traitor, Pasternak felt compelled to refuse the Prize. The situation became an international cause célèbre and made Pasternak a Cold War symbol of resistance to Soviet communism, a role the poet was ill-suited for.
The film, though faithful to the novel's plot, is noticeably different in the depictions of several characters and events. Many critics believed that the film's focus on the love story between Zhivago and Lara trivialized the events of the Russian Revolution and the resulting civil war.[2]
The sweeping multi-plotted story form used by Pasternak had a distinguished pedigree in Russian letters. The author of War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy, had used characters as symbols of classes and historical events in describing the events in the Russia of Napoleonic times. Pasternak's father, who was a painter, had produced illustrations for War and Peace. The name "Zhivago" is rooted in the Russian word "zhiv" ("alive") and zhivago is Church Slavonic for "the living".[3]
In the true manner of the Russian epic novel, characters constantly meet due to coincidence, though this is less apparent in the film.
The film treatment by David Lean was proposed for various reasons. Pasternak's novel had been an international success, and producer Carlo Ponti was interested in adapting it as a vehicle for his wife, Sophia Loren. Lean, coming off the huge success of Lawrence of Arabia (1962), wanted to make a more intimate, romantic film to balance the action- and adventure-oriented tone of his previous film. One of the first actors signed onboard was Omar Sharif, who had played Lawrence's right-hand man Sherif Ali in Lawrence of Arabia. Sharif loved the novel, and when he heard Lean was making a film adaptation, he requested to be cast in the role of Pasha (which ultimately went to Tom Courtenay). Sharif was quite surprised when Lean suggested that he play Zhivago himself. Peter O'Toole, star of Lawrence of Arabia, was Lean's original choice for Zhivago, but turned the part down; Max von Sydow and Paul Newman were also considered. Michael Caine tells in his autobiography that he also read for Zhivago and participated in the screen shots with Christie, but (after watching the results with David Lean) was the one who suggested Omar Sharif.[4][5] Rod Steiger was cast as Komarovsky after Marlon Brando and James Mason turned the part down. Audrey Hepburn was considered for Tonya, while Robert Bolt lobbied for Albert Finney to play Pasha. Lean, however, was able to convince Ponti that Loren was not right for the role of Lara, saying she was "too tall" (and confiding in screenwriter Robert Bolt that he could not accept Loren as a virgin for the early parts of the film), and Yvette Mimieux, Sarah Miles and Jane Fonda were considered for the role. Ultimately, Julie Christie was cast based on her appearance in Billy Liar (1963), and the recommendation of John Ford, who directed her in Young Cassidy.
Since the book was banned in the Soviet Union, the movie was filmed largely in Spain over ten months,[6] with the entire Moscow set being built from scratch outside of Madrid. Most of the scenes covering Zhivago and Lara's service in World War I were filmed in Soria, as was the Varykino estate. Some of the winter sequences, mostly landscape scenes and Yuri's escape from the Partisans, were filmed in Finland. Winter scenes of the family travelling to Yuriatin by rail were filmed in Canada. All the trains used in the film were Spanish trains like RENFE 240 ex 1400 MZA and Strelnikov's armoured train towed by the Renfe 2–8–2 class Mikado. The "ice-palace" at Varykino was filmed in Soria as well, a house filled with frozen beeswax. The charge of the Partisans across the frozen lake was filmed in Spain, too; a cast iron sheet was placed over a dried river-bed, and fake snow (mostly marble dust) was added on top. Some of the winter scenes were filmed in summer with warm temperatures, sometimes of up to 25 °C (86 °F).Other locations include the Estación de Madrid-Delicias in Madrid and El Moncayo. The initial and final scenes were shot at the Aldeadávila Dam between Spain and Portugal. Although uncredited, most of the scenes were actually shot on the Portugal side of the river, overlooking the Spanish side.
The film was entered into the 1966 Cannes Film Festival.[7]
Despite being a spectacular box office hit, Doctor Zhivago received mixed reviews at the time of its release. It was criticised for its length and overly romantic depiction of the affair between Zhivago and Lara. Film critic Roger Ebert, while liking the film, said of Doctor Zhivago that "it lumbers noisily from nowhere to nowhere", and that Omar Sharif's performance was "soulful but bewildered". In general, the film's critics have found Doctor Zhivago too overly romantic and almost at the level of soap opera, with the (in their view) syrupy Lara's Theme at the top of their complaints. (The song was a major hit when it was released on record.)
Bosley Crowther of the New York Times said that Zhivago and Lara are "possessed by a strange passivity".[2] Sometimes those same critics who found the length of the film overbearing also found the depiction of historical events too facile.
The final scene, in which a rainbow appears over a dam as the final credits were rolled onscreen, was criticized as being "pro-Soviet" by more conservative critics, who felt it was signifying that the Soviet Union had a bright future. Screenwriter Robert Bolt, who adapted the novel, was a one-time member of the British Communist Party (leaving the Party in 1947[8] ) and well-known leftist who was prominent in the nuclear disarmament campaign, itself seen as a surrogate of the Cold War struggle between the West and the Soviet Bloc.[9] Since director David Lean was apolitical, the shot likely was created due to the beauty of its image, not as political symbolism.[citation needed] (Director of Photography Freddie Young won an Academy Award for his color cinematography.)[10]
On the plus side, most critics acknowledge that film addresses such grand themes as a dramatic period in world history, the ascendance of life over death, the struggle of the individual against the state, the triumph of the heart over the mind, and the way good intentions can go terribly wrong. One of the strongest points of Doctor Zhivago is the startling visuals, with Bosley Crowther calling the photography "brilliant, tasteful, and exquisite as any ever put on the screen.[2] Rod Steiger's role as Victor Komarovski is a memorable acting tour de force.
Since the film takes the viewpoint of the dreamy poet Zhivago, the physician side of Zhivago is rarely in evidence. Critics also carped that the film, unlike the book, was shorn of the actual poetry that was in a supplement at the end of the novel, and that showing a writer at work was inherently boring. Zhivago writes poems for Lara near the end of their relationship, but the poems are never heard by the audience.
The film left an indelible mark on popular culture and fashion, and to this day remains an extremely popular film: Maurice Jarre's score—particularly "Lara's Theme"—became one of the most famous in cinematic history. Over the years, the film's critical reputation has gained in stature, and today Doctor Zhivago is considered to be one of Lean's finest works and is highly critically acclaimed, along with Lawrence of Arabia, Brief Encounter, The Bridge on the River Kwai, and A Passage to India.
As with the novel itself, the film was banned in the Soviet Union. It was not shown in Russia until 1994.
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an 85% 'Fresh' rating.[11]

soooo you can only knit whatever, for this contest, right???
Is this open to international crocheters too or is it only open to US citizens??
When you upload the pattern, does it have to be available for free? And do you maintain rights to the design?
I was wishing there were worsted weight solids. I love the Boomerang, but am having trouble finding what I need for a project.
Question about the deadline: Is it August 21st or Sept. 4th? The official rules have the Aug deadline bolded, but the skinny up top shows the Sept. date.
I take it we need not be present at Stitches East to enter and/or win? I'm on the west coast, so that wouldn't be possible.
-aka needle2needle on Craftsy
Does it have to be something to wear or can it be a baby blanket or some other item?
Is there any way we can see the entries in the contest?
I have 2 Q's
1: I see from the rules that entry into the competition gives Craftsy Inc all rights to use of the images I submit, but I am not clear about what that means regarding the submitted item or the pattern.
2: Also, does the pattern get published or just promoted by Craftsy Inc, and what is the situation on copyright. I have a potential entry, but it is a pattern I would not choose to publish until a later date.
HI Rebecca,
I did a search in patterns for "STITCHES Fashion Show" and got 6,680 results. There were beading, sewing, embroidery patterns and no Fiesta yarn. How do I get to see the entries?
Thanks, Kathy
I haven't entered yet. I just wanted to browse.
When/where is Stitches East?

If your Cushman Truckster engine is not running right or misfires you might need to check your points, condenser, or timing.
To check the points remove the timer cover, and turn the engine until the points are completely open. Using a feeler gauge, measure the breaker point gap making sure it is set at .020. If you need to adjust the points, loosen the breaker plate screw and move the adjusting screw until the proper adjustment is reached. Then tighten the breaker plate screw and recheck the point gap. Replace timer cover when you have reached the correct setting.
This is the only way you should adjust the breaker point. You should never loosen the fixed contact or bend the breaker arm to adjust the points.
The moving contact is an integral part of the breaker group and cannot be replaced separately. If you need to replace either the fixed or the movable points you should replace both at the same time.
By maintaining the correct point setting it should help in keeping your Cushman Truckster running smoothly.

Biopharm Reports has carried out six studies in the life science field, which examined the use of specialist software and databases relating to the conduct of PCR, DNA sequencing, DNA microarray, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry and disease biomarker studies. These studies, which involved the participation of more than 2200 end-users in 70 countries, were carried out to assist software developers and vendors to identify market opportunities in these fields.
Techniques such as PCR, DNA microarray, DNA sequencing, mass spectrometry and flow cytometry have seen significant growth over the last decade and by 2015, markets for these five areas are expected to exceed $50 billion, globally. However, none of these developments would have been possible without parallel developments in computing and software. Together they provide the systems that allow the high volumes of complex information that these technologies generate, to be handled. Scientific and clinical needs have driven the development of a multitude of data handling, software, databases and bioinformatics platforms. But, despite the many products available, end-users are often restricted in what they can do due to software limitations. Markets are also changing, which demand new software solutions.
Biopharm Reports has published a new report on the use of software and databases in the life science field. This is the outcome of six global studies involving more than 2,200 end-users in the PCR, DNA microarray, DNA sequencing, mass spectrometry, flow cytometry and disease biomarker fields. These finding provide substantial information on end-user practices and opportunities in these markets.

Obama Abroad: The Report Card
Worthy as they may be, Mann's Obamians have less dramatic personal histories than Bush's Vulcans and no more obvious influence on decisions than their better-known colleagues. So it's a category with no particular bearing as an analytic tool (though it maybe says something about this president's need to operate in a tidy comfort zone). Mann himself all but concedes that the idea of a group portrait of the inner circle suggested by his title doesn't fit the story he has to tell: "The dominant influence on the Obama administration's foreign policy," he writes, "is the president himself. He is the main strategist…the chief Obamian."
The modus operandi of this president is to question and hear out advisers, even some outside counselors, without giving much of a clue to his own inclinations, then go off to a private White House retreat, from which he emerges a day or two later with his usually nuanced verdict. As the late Richard Holbrooke found out, he has little patience for discursive discussion on extraneous subjects of some relevance not immediately on his agenda, for instance, what might have been learned in Vietnam. Obama really is what Bush claimed to be: "the decider."
Earlier presidents were presented with tidy sets of options. Reagan was said to have preferred them on one page. The foreign policy process in this administration appears at key junctions to have consisted of the president presenting a set of options to his advisers and coming to conclusions none of them had pressed. Sanger says that Clinton, Gates, and Panetta—that's to say, State, Defense, and the CIA—were excluded from the early stages of the White House review on Afghanistan toward the end of Obama's first year. The review endorsed a "surge" of 30,000 additional troops but promised that their withdrawal would start in only a year and a half. The time limit meant that there would be no open-ended commitment to a conflict candidate Obama had called a "war of necessity," contrasting it to the "war of choice" in Iraq. Instead, the search for a "decent exit" (as it was called in the Vietnam era) began at the end of his first year.
The perceived necessity quickly diminished in the face of hard, inescapable facts: the stolen Afghan election in 2009; the stupendous corruption and narrow base of the regime in Kabul; allied Pakistan's harboring of the Afghan Taliban and other insurgents; the Pentagon's estimate that it would take something like one billion dollars a month to train and support a credible Afghan force. What was not explicitly declared at the time was that the drones offered a tempting, relatively low-cost alternative—casualty-free, as far as Americans were concerned—making it possible to disrupt and possibly cripple al-Qaeda without a permanent military build-up to ensure the stability of Afghanistan.3 Obama was prepared to use force aggressively, just not in the old way.
Sounding almost like the George W. Bush who inveighed against the use of the military in nation-building missions when he ran for office in 2000, he stepped back from American commitments—"many of them unwise or unachievable," in Sanger's words—and coolly declared last year: "We will not try to make Afghanistan a perfect place…. It is time to focus on nation building here at home."
The picture of a tough-minded president making hard choices, taking full responsibility, was painted in livid hues by Jo Becker and Scott Shane in the recent New York Times report on Obama's self-assigned role in personally reviewing new additions to "kill lists" that govern drone target selection. Many experts who were initially well disposed to Obama find heavy legal and even civil liberties issues in such "extrajudicial killings." For instance: Are they tantamount to assassinations? Does the struggle against al-Qaeda qualify as an "international armed conflict" under the Geneva conventions or is it essentially lawless?
But there's one question such critics seldom attempt to answer: Just how is a president supposed to take on terrorists thousands of miles away whom he believes to be targeting the country he's sworn to protect in a constitutional manner? Should he file an extradition request with the government in Islamabad or, as Bill Clinton did before September 11 but after the attacks on the USS Cole and the embassies in East Africa, lob cruise missiles from the Arabian Sea and hope for the best?
These are not questions the former lecturer in constitutional law can easily evade. Even before one gets to the truly difficult legal issues, there's a nagging question of political management and leadership: whether sweating over kill lists is really proper work for a president. Taking hands-on charge of the process, White House aides explain, is the only way he can satisfy himself that the pilotless craft carrying out his orders are under tight control. In their telling, Obama's participation amounts to a clemency review for condemned terrorists—presumed terrorists, anyway—on the other side of the globe; an act, therefore, of moral responsibility.
It's a disturbing picture, nonetheless—the president reviewing "baseball cards" carrying intelligence rap sheets on specific targeted enemies. It deepens an impression that the solitariness and responsibilities that come with the job are reinforced in his case by an inner self-sufficiency, not always easy to distinguish from remoteness and self-regard.
It's one thing to hold Obama up to principles he himself has embraced, another to contrast his management of the conflict with what Mitt Romney offers, something else Obama's liberal critics consistently fail to do. The presumptive Republican nominee hasn't explicitly promised to reverse Obama's timetable for a withdrawal of combat troops from Afghanistan but what he does say amounts to the same thing. He says he's in favor of withdrawal when the generals tell him it's time. It's a refrain used by George W. Bush in his successful 2004 reelection campaign when the war at issue was in Iraq, the one Obama finally wound down. Romney also favors a sharp increase in the humongous Pentagon budget along with cuts in social spending across the board. It's the old definition of strength. This must be another "American Century," the former missionary insists.
Obama's kind of strength—too much for some liberals, too subtle for most hawks—was shown to best advantage in the bin Laden raid. Some advisers wanted to wait on better intelligence. Secretary Gates wanted to drop a bunker-busting bomb rather than run the risk of sending in special forces. Such a bomb would likely leave a large crater, cause untold civilian deaths, and probably obliterate any evidence that Osama had been there. Obama wanted all the evidence that could be gotten, including the body. He made, Gates later said, "one of the most courageous calls…I've ever seen a president make." He didn't wait for consensus, didn't leave that decision to the generals. It was all his, consistent, as both Mann and Sanger note, with what he'd said he'd do during the 2008 campaign if the al-Qaeda leader were ever tracked to a hideout.
An Associated Press dispatch on June 15 reported that the White House had formally acknowledged for the first time, in a report to Congress, that the United States has conducted "special operations" commando attacks on suspected al-Qaeda groups in Somalia and Yemen. The number of such "special ops" was not specified. Sanger tells us they amount to ten to fifteen a night, most presumably along the Pakistan–Afghanistan frontier.
"The surprise is his aggressiveness," a senior American diplomat remarked to Sanger, summing up impressions gained on the inside as the president confronted the terrorism specter. More than anything, the bin Laden raid made that point with millions of people on the outside, possible swing voters, but it may not determine many actual votes in an election in which economic issues are likely to remain overriding.
Counsels of perfection are not lacking in either book. "The United States has a moral responsibility to the Afghan people and Obama needs to talk about that honestly—to adjust expectations to reality," Sanger lectures. He also "needs to negotiate an agreement with both parties in Congress about what America will provide to Afghanistan over the next five to ten years, and stick to it." Good luck. In a perfect democracy, an election year might be the ideal time to bring up subjects such as broken promises, retrenchment, and fresh commitments. But this is not a perfect democracy. A president who dared to reopen such a discussion would be drowned out almost instantly by talking heads, bloggers, and Super PACs.
These books allude in passing to other unfinished business on Obama's original agenda—his unfulfilled promise to close the prison at Guantánamo, most prominently. Mann throws in the president's commitment to a final push for an accord between the Israelis and Palestinians and his demand that Israel, once and for all, halt its expansion of settlements on Palestinian lands. This was already a nonstarter before the curtain went up on the Arab Spring. Virtually thumbing his nose at Obama, in what amounted to an open embrace of the Republican leadership, Netanyahu then showed he had greater sway with Congress, on this issue at least, than the US president. (Netanyahu got twenty-nine standing ovations when he addressed a joint session of Congress in May 2011 at the invitation of Speaker John Boehner.)
If Obama learned to go silent on such highly charged matters, it wasn't because he'd changed his mind or backed down. It was because he'd been beaten, in part by fair-weather supporters in his own party. Would these challenges come up again in a second term? Or has this self-confident, aggressive leader carried away a wariness, a lesson about cutting losses?
As for Pakistan, the Pakistani generals and Richard Holbrooke, with their long memories, appear to have known something that Barack Obama didn't want to hear when he had his first crack at making policy for the region. "The biggest problem we face," Holbrooke told Sanger, "is that the Pakistanis know that sooner or later we're leaving. Because that's what we do. And that drives everything."
Unless, of course, Mitt Romney were to get the opportunity to prove he's serious about staying the course. And then, most likely, we'd really be sorry.
3 A recent report on ProPublica, the website for investigative journalism, underscored inconsistencies in the Obama administration's estimates of civilian deaths in drone attacks. These estimates have totaled between zero and fifty over differing time periods extending for months. Of 307 drone attacks in Pakistan since 2004, 263 have been carried out in the Obama years, ProPublica said. See Justin Elliott, "Obama Administration's Drone Death Figures Don't Add Up," ProPublica, June 18, 2012. ↩

Siemens and Bentley Expand Collaboration Relationship
One of the aims envisaged by the collaboration is for both companies to work jointly on a system that will allow the capture, exchange and further utilization of data and information spanning the entire plant lifecycle, from engineering through to plant operations across all disciplines. Along with a cohesive connection between Comos and OpenPlant, this collaboration also seeks to afford users access to supplementary disciplines supported by the Bentley portfolio such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), construction simulation, cable and raceway management, conveying technology, steel construction and laser scanning.
"By increasing the interoperability of our fully integrated 2D engineering software solution Comos with Bentley's open 3D system OpenPlant, we will be generating exciting new potential for users, based on the global standard ISO 15926 and iRING," explained Andreas Geiss, Vice President of Comos Industry Solutions, Siemens. "This will benefit both plant engineering and operation."
Comos provides industry-specific solution concepts spanning the entire plant lifecycle on a standardized, object-oriented data platform. Comos' bidirectional data exchange between graphics and database prevents inconsistencies and provides the guarantee of an up-to-date, as-built depiction of the plant at all times.
The interoperability between Comos and OpenPlant extends the scope of these benefits to now span plant design, engineering, procurement and construction.
"This breakthrough is a validation of our organizations' interoperability strategies and a great return on Bentley's investment in ISO 15926 and iRING. It brings our joint users information mobility across CAPEX and OPEX – that is, from design and construction through operations and maintenance," said Ken Adamson, Bentley Vice President, Building, Electrical, and Plant Products.
Monica Schnitger, principal analyst at Schnitger Corporation, said, "We've long believed that much of the value created in the design and engineering process is lost in the handover to operations. By using the ISO 15926-compliant i-model to connect OpenPlant and Comos, Bentley and Siemens are coupling 2D and 3D, the conceptual design of a process through to the controlling instrumentation of an operating plant. This project, an extension of a collaboration announced last year for the discrete manufacturing industries, promises to deliver significant benefit to EPCs and plant operators in the process industries. It's an exciting development and we'll be watching with interest to see industry adoption."

Regulators Approve First Commercial Hydrokinetic Projects in the United States
New hydrokinetic energy technologies that generate electricity by harnessing the energy from ocean waves, tides, and river currents are advancing toward commercial development in the United States. They are not expected to add major power supplies anytime soon, but federal regulators this year approved licenses for two hydrokinetic energy projects to produce electricity from wave power buoys anchored off the Oregon coast and from underwater turbines driven by the current in New York City's East River.

Arrogance of Big Business, even here in Bamberg
Dear Editor,
On Thursday, April 23 I called the number in my phone book for the Local Phone Company to have telephone and Internet service connected at my new office downtown. The customer Service Representative who helped me was courteous but it took almost 45 minutes to set up an order and make an appointment for Tuesday, April 28 to connect service. In spite of the time required to complete this transaction, this has been the most efficient the local company has been to date.
The appointment was made for a time convenient to them between noon and 2:00 p.m. I was at the office at 11:30 and stayed until 2:30 waiting on the technician because I needed to talk to him, and the representative who took the order knew this (for one thing there were wires outside the office which looked to me like the phone lines, cut and hanging loose and the internet service would require some conversation and assistance.) At 2:30 I called the local company again and asked where the technician was, and was told that my service order was complete and I should have a dial tone. I told that representative that I had no dial tone and that the internet service obviously hadnt been connected. She checked further and informed me that the 2:00 appointment was to set up the internet connect and this couldnt happen until phone service was working. She said that there was a work order set between 4:00 and 6:00 to install the phone service. I asked if this technician could also install the internet service, and she said that if the technician was qualified that he could but that some technicians were not qualified. Id have to ask the technician when he arrived.
At 5:55 PM Tues. I called the local company to make sure someone was coming out and was put on hold while this representative contacted the technician. At 6:02 I realized that I had been disconnected. I called the local company again and got a recording that their business hours ended at 6:00 p.m.
On Wednesday, April 29, I was at the office at 8:30 a.m. and called the local company again. I was again told that they showed that I had a working line, but to satisfy me a technician would come by sometime before 6:00 to check it out. I gave her my cell phone number which she assured me was immediately relayed to the technician working in Bamberg. I was to receive a call an hour before the technician was to arrive so that I wouldnt need to sit waiting all day. Of course no-one came nor did anyone call.
On Thursday at about 9:00 a.m. I again called the local company and again was assured that a technician would arrive before 6:00 and I would get a call on my cell phone that he (or she) was on the way to my office. Does this sound to others like a monopoly business taking advantage of its customers? Our home phone, long distance and internet is with the local company, my other business location is serviced by the local company, and my sister retired from the local company after over 25 years of service in the DC area. The local company was once a fine company and employment with them considered quite an accomplishment. I wonder if this still holds true. Im waiting on the phone call. Its 11:00 a.m. Thurs.
PS: At 11:15 today (Thursday) a man working next door saw a local company truck in the neighborhood and flagged it down. The technicians had been told that my order had been completed. These two men saw that the wires leading to my office were cut outside and it took the two of them over two hours to bring lines into my office. So much for a completed work order and a working phone and internet service on the 28th of April. But I must say that these two technicians were efficient, hard working, and courteous. Those sitting behind desks and ignoring my numerous calls should have their jobs re-evaluated (or is this what we have come to expect and accept).
Mike Tomlinson, Bamberg, S.C.

LOS ANGELES, Ca. (January 24, 2014) – With a legacy that stretches across 6 decades, encompasses more than 41 million albums sold, and includes numerous iconic hit singles such as "Elvira," "American Made," and "Y'all Come Back Saloon," it's no wonder that The Oak Ridge Boys are one of the most popular live acts on the circuit today, packing fans in by the thousands and tens of thousands wherever they perform. What is surprising is that the Boys, renowned for their great live shows, have never released a full length, official hits concert album - that is, until now! Cleopatra Records will release Boys Night Out on April 15th, in three formats - CD, vinyl, and digital download - finally giving ORB fans the experience of the group's well-polished live performance for them to enjoy anytime, anywhere.
According to a January 14, 2014 news story by Mary Madewell in The Paris News (Paris, Texas), Lamar County officials have announced plans to name a bridge in honor of Oak Ridge Boys' lead singer, Duane Allen. At a ceremony to be held this spring, the bridge over the Big Sandy Creek on County Road 16590 (Taylortown, Texas) will be renamed in honor of Duane, who grew up nearby. "I'm humbled to the core, just blown away," Duane said in response to the announcement. "It's a small bridge, on a small road, in a small community, but it is where I grew up and it's a huge honor for me. It will be a fun day."
The Paris News also reported that the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame will induct Duane on August 9 of this year.
The Oaks have been scheduled to perform at the 2014 Musicians Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Nashville, on Tuesday, January 28. Additional confirmed performers include Neil Young, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Brenda Lee, and Duane Eddy.
The 2014 Musicians Hall of Fame event will honor Barbara Mandrell, Peter Frampton, and Buddy Guy, among others. Tickets may be purchased by the general public at Ticketmaster.com.
It's hard to put it all into words but I will try. Our 24th annual Christmas tour went Midwest, Plains, Pacific Northwest, and West Coast this year, and it has been one of the most successful tours in the history of The Oak Ridge Boys. We performed 30 shows in 27 cities overall, and 80% of those shows were complete sellouts. The other 20% were very close.
We had a few "sick puppies" along the way, as I heard Duane Allen tell Jim Halsey. But everyone held up well and performed magnificently every single night. Our band… Jeff, Donnie, Rex, Chris, Scotty, and Ron were stellar every night. Every note of every song was played with precision and compassion. The four BOYS were blessed with VOICE every show, as well, and pretty much killed it in every city! I was sick early on, but God blessed me with being able to sing no matter how bad I might have felt, and for this I am very thankful. Richard, Duane, and William Lee did some of their best singing EVER on this tour.
The most praise goes to our drivers and our hard working crew! Billy and Marc and Lem drove over 10,000 miles and got us there safely every single day, despite some rough sledding and long hours on occasion.
Many thanks go out to Dave, Jeff, Chris, Marko, and Greg for getting all of the massive production up and ready for every show. I challenge any act on the road to do this better than OUR guys! Special thanks as well to Mikey C for handling all the merchandise every single night, even when it became overwhelming.
NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT DARRICK KINSLOW! As usual, every base is covered every single day, and along with that he hosted the show every night. He NEVER stops! I swear the guy has more energy then any of us! He even cooks!
The Oak Ridge Boys Rally-at-Sea II, scheduled for February 22-March 1, 2014, aboard the Celebrity Reflection will feature stops in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; and Philipsburg, St. Maarten, plus three relaxing days "at sea." The 2014 Rally itinerary includes all Reflection amenities, plus these "by invitation only" ORB activities:
Welcome Reception • Gospel & Country Concert • Photo Op with the Boys
Band Jam • A Conversation with The Oak Ridge Boys Q&A Gathering • "Greatest Hits & Misses" Concert • Autograph Session • Farewell Reception • And a few surprises!

Many articles about bombing Syria do not consider the potential negative effects of bombing Syria. There are many possible effects that are negative for the Syrian people and for the world and America.
There is skepticism among U.S. military persons. There are concerns over escalation, being drawn into further military steps, attacks by Iran through proxies, Israel entering the war if attacked, worsening the situation of refugees, and lack of a coherent strategy with clear objectives and exit points. There is concern that politicians over-estimate the benefits of bombing and under-estimate the risks in the form of future negative responses.
Bombing strengthens the rebel side. This raises the chances of widespread terrorism, sectarian cleansing, and anti-Christian cleansing. It increases the numbers of refugees. Bombing weakens the government side, making it more desperate. The odds of its using chemical weapons rises. Whether or not the U.S. targets chemical supplies is unknown; there are certain bombs that supposedly incinerate the chemicals and stop dispersion. This whole matter is uncertain.
There are unknown spillover effects in all the neighboring countries (Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, Israel and Iran).
In all the administration's talk about punishing Assad, who did not order this chemical attack, there is very little talk about strategy or the negative effects of bombing. Bombing is being viewed naively as much gain at little cost and risk when the opposite is more the case, little gain at much cost and risk.
Has the administration and Congress seriously considered how it is poisoning relations with Russia and China? Has it considered the risk of a direct confrontation with Russia, which arms Assad? Has it considered the sensitivity of the Suez Canal and the Straits of Hormuz to interruption of shipping? Has it considered what it will do if, after bombing, the Syrian situation worsens?11:22 am on September 9, 2013 Email Michael S. Rozeff

this phenomenon is known as "SAHD" (Stay At Home Dad) and they even have a quarterly newsletter and support groups in the New York area where it's most prevalent. Article is in the new GQ (Fassbender cover) or maybe Details (Chris Hemsworth cover). I don't remember which since we have both in the crapper.
The woman making more money shouldn't be a big deal. You should be happy there is more money for the family in the first place.
However, much of the loss of masculinity can come from the change in roles.
If your wife is the one negotiating for the new car, handling the finances, making the major family decisions, etc, then it can make the man feel like his role has been degraded or redefined.
That's not to say the man should be doing all of these things if he's terrible at them and his wife is good at them, but it also means that a woman making more than her husband shouldn't just suddenly heap the financial-type decisions upon her shoulders, because THAT is more likely to create resentment.
This space for rent.
there's nothing like that moment where you're making out for the first time. he lays you down and softly cradles your neck and you quickly clench your fist to punch him in the face becuase him toucing your neck obviously means he's about to kill yhou and you need to punch him out. god what's wrong with me.
That may never go away, Ivy. It sucks. There are certain things my husband knows not to do.
That self-preservation instinct sucks sometimes.
Saving face... one blowjob at a time.
Its like the Infinite Monkey Theorem, if you put X amount of monkeys in a room with a typewriter and ask them to give you Shakespeare 99% of them will fling their shit at you while the other 1% will masturbate in the corner.
I have no negative history with choking, but it's still not a regular thing in my repertoire.
So, for the folks who have/are dated/dating someone they met online who either originally lived or is still living a considerable but not insurmountable distance away from you, what did you do suggest doing as the basis for meeting that person? Like, "hey, this movie is showing at this theater halfway between where you live and where I live, we should go see it." or something else?
I'm fucking clueless at this (as I am at most things).
Yes. Suggest a halfway point.
Two questions:
1) When/why did you move to Bellingham?
2) Where does the person you are dating live?
meeting suggests to me this is new.
halfway point is good, look for other things to do in the area as well. also, isn't a movie one of those bad 1st date ventures?
also also, where have you been, or have I just not seen you here? hmm.
To be honest, online dating blows. I can credit that fact for motivating me to meet women more naturally.
Also, Passive, do whatever works for both of you. If she wants an excuse to visit San Diego then let her come there, or meet half way, or meet somewhere interesting you'd both like to go to, or go where she's at, or whatever else. Just talk it out and figure it out, there's no one way to meet up. But don't have either of you travel a long distance just to quietly sit at a movie together unless it's part of a larger plans.
If the distance is a problem then the distance is a problem. If it isn't then don't treat it like one. We're talking about an hour drive (depending on traffic and what part of SD you are in).
If you are the one suggesting meeting up (like roo I am assuming this is for the first time) then I'd say the onus is on you to drive up there. Suggest dinner (or brunch or lunch) at a place (possibly even one she has mentioned) and another activity you would like to do. I wouldn't go for a movie but live theater or a museum could work, or you could go bowling or shoot pool, sing karaoke... depending on what you like/what she has said she likes/what is available in Murietta/nearby.
Certainly tell her that you like her and that you want to meet/hang out in person.
If that didn't work I might try suggesting she come to SD for some weekend daytime event, giving her a chance to at least plan to drive back before too late.
If she isn't interested in meeting in person (which doesn't mean saying no to one of these but several and not countering with alternatives) then move on.
2014 Collaborative Playlist on Spotify.
I wrote out a joke in response to what Bryan posted about this girl putting her fist in my ass but it was awful, so let's move on.
To answer Courtney and everyone else, yes this is relatively recent. I contacted her over a week ago, we started messaging each other regularly and then she gave me her number a few days ago and we've been texting back and forth since then.
And the consensus seems to be "find something(s) to do that are fun but not a movie" which is fine because I'm not set on movie dates any way. I did see that there's a record store in Temecula that looks neat, but that would have to be either an aside or for the drive back or whatever. She half-heartedly collects records and I can't think of a worse way to spend time getting to know someone than standing awkwardly nearby while they rifle through vinyl... Unless that has actually worked for anyone before. (If so, stories?)
If she likes video games, maybe you could do something fun and a little silly like going to an arcade? I also like mini golf, bowling (as mentioned above), and aquariums -- basically anything that will take the pressure off feeling like you need to have a deep conversation, while still allowing you to interact and chat. I would avoid a record store because I think anyone who frequents the Coachella message board is probably going to be significantly more into records than most regular folks, and so you will inevitably end up geeking out about music stuff and she will feel out of her element and it will be awkward.
I have different advice--you should drive absolutely anywhere she wants, because you literally couldn't be less attractive.
