Heavy clashes have been reported at the Saudi-Yemeni border as Saudi forces battle Yemeni rebels for the fifth straight day.
Saudi commanders said troops were shelling suspected Houthi positions on Saturday and plumes of smoke could be seen rising above the Jebel al-Dukhan peak that marks the frontier near the border town of Al-Khubah.
A medical official said seven Saudis, four of them women civilians, had been killed and 126 people wounded since the fighting erupted on Tuesday.
The Shia Houthis, fighting their own government over alleged discrimination, had also claimed to have captured some Saudi soldiers on Friday.
Mohammed Abdel-Salam, a spokesman for the Houthis, told Al Jazeera that the men were seized after Saudi ground forces crossed into Yemeni territory.
If such a ground incursion were proved true, it would indicate a deepening involvement by Saudi Arabia in a battle that is being viewed as a proxy conflict with regional power Iran.
Abdel-Salam said the captured soldiers would be interviewed. "They will be treated with respect," he added.He also urged Riyadh to end the "unjust Saudi aggression" and to stop Yemeni forces from using bases inside Saudi territory to attack the Houthis.
Saudi Arabia has not commented on the claim, but has previously said that its operations against the Yemeni fighters have been limited to air raids and artillery strikes.
Saudi support
Khalid al-Dakhil, a political analyst at the King Saud University, said that it is impossible for Saudi Arabia to ignore the conflict between the Houthis and the Yemeni government.
"The Houthis seem to be very determined in pinning down the Yemeni army and the Saudi government cannot afford to just sit by and watch what is happening. They have to support the Yemeni government", he told Al Jazeera.
"The co-operation between Yemen and Saudi Arabia runs for a long time now, even before the Houthis.
"I don't think the Houthis have any chance of succeeding in the end. They will be isolated, they will be squeezed between two armies and I think eventually they will run out of any luck."
The Yemeni government accuses the Houthis of seeking to restore an imamate overthrown in a 1962 coup that sparked eight years of civil war.
The Houthis insist they are fighting to defend their community against government aggression and marginalisation.
Focused on infiltrators
The Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday that the kingdom's attacks were "focused on infiltrators in Jebel al-Dukhan and other targets within the range of operations within Saudi territory".
"The entry of the gunmen to Saudi territory, the aggression against border patrols ... and presence on Saudi soil is a violation of sovereignty that gives the kingdom every right to take all measures to end this illegitimate presence," it said, citing an official source.
He said his fighters had also seized arms from the Yemeni army, including those taken from captured security posts.
Al-Houthi said his group had no ambitions to target territory in Saudi Arabia. "Saudi Arabia has always co-operated with Yemen, but this co-operation has now taken a new shape," he said. Hundreds of people have died in northern Yemen since the country's army began its offensive against the Houthis on August 11.
The fighters, concentrated mainly in the Saada and Amran provinces, are known as Houthis after their late leader, Abdul-Malik's brother Hussein Badr Eddin al-Houthi, a Zaidi leader who was killed by the Yemeni army in September 2004.
An offshoot of Shia Islam, the Zaidis are a minority in a predominantly Sunni Arabian peninsula but form the majority in northern Yemen. Only a small minority of Zaidis are involved in the Houthi uprising.

"Whether the Twins play the Yankees at home or away, under a dome or in the open air, as favorites or underdogs, they usually find a way to lose." -- New York Times. July 5, 2013.
Another Yankees victory over the Twins? No news here.
So New York Times writer David Waldstein did the right thing. He provided context for what happens when the Twins play the Yankees. There was this: "No matter that the Yankees were mired in a dispiriting slump before arriving here, or that their lineup is a cheap facsimile of the star-studded version that has administered most of the disappointment to Minnesotans. For the Yankees, facing the Twins has been their version of a visit to a spa, where they wash away their troubles and attain instant well-being"
And this: "Just seeing the Yankees in the opposing dugout should be enough to make Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire twitch and sweat, even if the Yankees had won only 5 of their previous 18 games coming into the series, with a lineup that at times resembled a middling minor league squad. 'I don't know,' Gardenhire said. 'I wish we had answers for all that stuff. We don't have answers for why these guys play so well here.' "
And this: "Gardenhire's Twins won four division titles in his first six years, but in the regular season they were only 10-28 against the Yankees and their manager at the time, Joe Torre. Gardenhire's record against Joe Girardi is 11-31 since Girardi took over as manager in 2008. In the playoffs, Gardenhire was 2-6 against Torre in 2003 and 2004, and 0-6 against Girardi in 2009 and 2010. Over all, including the playoffs, Gardenhire's record against the Yankees is 23-71, for a .245 winning percentage — this from a manager with a .519 winning percentage over all.
You can read Waldstein's entire story here, if you dare.

In this comedy, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly "no strings attached." "No strings" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The question becomes- who's going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?

Land Warfare
- 1 January — 31 December 2014 *on now
Our Land Warfare exhibition houses one of the finest collections of tanks, military vehicles and artillery in the country.
The First World War was, above all, a conflict of artillery. In the Land Warfare exhibition you can see a range of artillery pieces, including a British 4.5 inch Field Howitzer gun which served in France from 1914 to August 1917; a British 6 inch Heavy Howitzer gun which fired over 1,500 rounds between June 1915
and February 1916 and a French 155mm Schneider Heavy Howitzer gun, which was designed for use on the Western Front and proved so effective that it was used into the inter-war period.
We also have a variety of First World War vehicles in our Land Warfare exhibition. The British Mark 10 General Service Wagon is a horse-drawn wagon built in 1915 and is typical of the period. The Italian Fiat 15 1½ton Light Truck was the most widely used Italian truck of the First World War. The United States FWD General Service Truck was an American commercial vehicle supplied to the Allies from 1916 and
most frequently employed as an artillery tractor. You can also see two British Simplex Rail Tractors, which were used to transport supplies from rear depots to the front line trenches in France from 1916 to 1918.

Battle of Britain Exhibition
- 1 January — 31 December 2014 *on now
The Bristol F2B fighter on display in the Battle of Britain exhibition was one of the British fighter aircraft developed during the First World War to attack enemy aircraft and to protect our air force. The F2B had a pilot who sat in the front cockpit and an observer who sat behind; both were armed with a machine gun.
The F2B was fast and manoeuvrable. It was a success from 1917 on the Western Front in France and Belgiumand was also used to defend Britain from attacks by German bombers.
Our Bristol Fighter was issued to No.39 Home Defence Squadron at NorthWeald in September 1918. Bristol Fighters continued to be used at RAF Duxford into the early 1920s for pilot training. Also on display in the Battle of Britain exhibition is a Royal Flying Corps (RFC) mobile workshop. During the First World War, the RFC often operated out of simple temporary airfields, which didn't have permanent buildings and facilities. The squadrons relied on vehicle-mounted equipment that could be
moved from one location to another. This workshop was equipped with power tools, a lathe, drills and a grinder, as well as a wide selection of hand tools.
Also in our Battle of Britain exhibition is a Thornycroft J Type Lorry, with a 13-pounder anti-aircraft gun, which provided mobile anti-aircraft cover for British forces during the First World War. The Maybach aero engine, which can be seen in the Battle of Britain exhibition, powered airships, and later, aircraft.
Also currently in our Battle of Britain exhibition, and presently undergoing conservation work, is a Royal Aircraft Factory BE2C, the first reconnaissance aircraft to be ordered in quantity for the Royal Flying Corps. This aircraft will go on permanent display at IWM Duxford in due course.

Me and my partner have been together for 7 years currently buyinh our own home and have 2 lovely dogs. We are both 25. We dicided in 2009 that we would start trying for a baby and i fell pregnat in September however i lost the baby in november.
Then in January 2010 i was diagnosed with Acute Myloid Leukemia and nearly died because i was so ill they were unable to save any of my eggs. However with a number of chemotherpy courses and a bone marrow transplant from my older sister im now on the road to recovery.
We would still love a family but i have been told that i have no chance of conciving my own child. Im also going through the menapores They have said that the only options are ivf which i cant afford and scared to death that i wouldnt work anyway then i would have to deal with not being able to afford another treatment.
They have said that i could have egg donation but i have no idea were to start with this and again there is cost to worry about my doctors are useless and dont have a clue and i dont have another gynocolagy appointment till feb.
I know that there is surragancy but have no idea how this works or what costs are involoved i know we could adopt but we have large amounts of debit and dont think we would be excepted my other half also still want his own child and i cant blame him.
Can any one help me im desprate to be a loving mummy to a preshious little life.

I don't know much about it all, but would you not qualify for IVF on the NHS?
I know there is quite a long waiting list for ivf with egg donation but it is available on the NHS and as one of the other ladies said, there is a lady on here who is having NHS funded ivf with her Sister's eggs, so will beat the long waiting time to be matched with a donor.
With regards to surrogacy, I think that will be more costly that ivf if done thru the corrct channels - usually fertility clinics again.
Maybe ask a Q in the IVF section on the forum, there will be ladies there that know a lot more about the process. Good luck xx
After a horrible few years, life is good.

Don't rule out adoption. My colleague is almost at the panel stage and they have debt as well as having 1 child. They seem more bothered about her son than anything else, even that she has a 2 hour round trip to work and her OH works shifts. They decided they wanted to help a child that desperately needed help after a rubbish start in life. They have been told they can expect to be able to pick from 3months - 5year olds. Her OH is black (she is white) which has meant there are more babies/children available. I know that sounds terrible but it's not meant to be racist.
I don't think adoption is for everyone but definitely worth looking into. Wish you lots of love and luck on your journey. xx

I would have really thought in your circumstances you would qualify for IVF on the NHS , and as some of the other Ladies have said as long as she agrees and is suitable it shouldn't be a problem for your sister to be a doner . I remember reading about a lady a while ago with very similar circumstances to you , who had one sister donate an egg and her other sister volunteered to carry the baby for her ,as I think her cancer meant she'd had to have a hysterectomy . Your GP should be able to find out what the situation with NHS funded IVF in your area is , although they may want to wait until you've been in remission for longer , my nephew had ALL as a child and I know how gruelling the treatment is and it's supposed to be easier to treat in children , so obviously the docs will want to put your health first . FX you get some positive news at your appointment in February ,it's got to be a good sign that they've already mentioned IVF so they aren't ruling it out as an option for you x

Hello, Mise! I want to tell that I have very similar life story. When I decided to become a mother it emerged that I had uterine cancer. I began to fight for my life. After surgery I lost my uterus and after chemotherapy my ovaries died and stopped producing the eggs. I am denied the opportunity even to bear a child, to feel how it stirs in me, how it is growing up. Every day I woke up with a sense of my childs smell, I heard his voice, his thoughts and desires. I even started talking to him. How do you think where it would lead to? I have almost stopped to feel like a woman, despite the fact that my husband fought for me from last forces. About surrogacy, I have learned from my sister who spent all her time on the Internet searching my salvation. And you know, I dreamed about a child so much that I did not doubt for a second. Furthermore I did not have a lot of choices. Since I am from Hungary, we started looking for an opportunity to give birth to our child with the help of a surrogate mother abroad. After reviewing a large number of clinics, we stayed at the clinic BioTexCom in Ukraine. They offered an all inclusive package that we were very happy with, as we were only focused on winning. I cannot say that everything was simple, the waiting drove us crazy. It seemed that I would be told that nothing happened and I would never have the child with my husbands eyes. But after 1.5 years I had my daughter, my angel, my whole world. Now my princess is one year old. Many friends who do not even guess how I had my baby, they say that my daughter looks like me. If you are really ready to become a mother, no matter whose egg is there and no matter who bears your child, Mom is only one who grows and loves. Dont worry, I am sure the woman who really want to be mother she would! I other hand you always have the possibility of adoption. But I think you should be brave and should fight for your happiness.

Hi, girls! The more I live the more I understand that infertility is a real plague of nowadays. More and more couples suffer it. It is so unjustified but the people should be strong in order to fight. In some cases it is really possible to win it. It only depends on the people. How ready they are to combat. But there is always a way-out. I also couldnt conceive and had thorny way. But finally we opted for surrogacy. Mise, you must be strongly convinced in your choice. Nobody says that is easy. But my experience, experience of Micy and of many other couples can testified that there is a solution. But be very careful choosing the clinic. The cost can be different, can vary a lot. But it doesnt mean that it is completely unaffordable.

Hi, Kathy! As I understood you are also have the problem with infertility. Or you had? What is your diagnosis? Did you use surrogacy? What are the results of your treatment? I think as much people share their experience as more it can help and change the lives. If it is not a secret we will be appreciate if you share your experience. It would be better to protect people from mistakes. Or just try to support.

Hi, Micy ! I have infantile uterus. I was trying to fight with it. I did so many tries. The hope of being mother didnt left me. I had so many consultations with different doctors. However, there were no optimistic results. My husband suggested me using reproductive programs. It was not simple decision for both us. It makes me difficult to describe how we were nervous. We were very scared. The thought of negative result frightened us. But such thoughts only interfered with success. Finally we decided to use the services of surrogate mother. New and new questions appeared in our heads. There are so many clinics but we didnt know what really could help up. We had to think a lot about it. We were considering about different clinics. Also we need to choose the country where to go. As I am from USA I didnt want to do surrogacy here. It is too much expensive. We couldnt afford it. It would be like a burden for us to pay all the expenses for the treatment. So we started considering surrogacy abroad. It turned to be horror. And as a result it turned to be not so many countries where surrogacy is legal. So it really complicated the situation. The more we searched for the more we found difficulties. For example, there are risks with baby registration or problems with surrogate mothers. There are a lot of pitfalls in surrogacy industry. Among the countries that I considered first was Mexico. There is a big surrogacy industry. And for us it was comfortable and fast to go there. But when I visited clinic I was not satisfied. I saw some surrogate mothers there but they didnt have proper medical control. It is hard to imagine but most of them even didnt have enough medical analysis for the procedure. So I was terrified by this fact. For me it was hard to believe about it. In USA every thing is done on a higher level. But we also shouldnt forget about the difference in price. After my trip to Mexico I was very disappointed. I didnt hope to meet better options. Thanks to my husband I didnt leave the searchers. I got to know some couples that underwent surrogacy program in Russia and Ukraine. Some experiences were positive some were negative. I realize that everybody couldnt be satisfied and can fins pros and cons. But we decided not to go to Russia. I heard so horrible story about surrogacy in Russia. The fact is that surrogate mother can claim to be mother after delivery. She has some rights to do it. So for me it would a big risk for us. Surrogate mothers very often dont get off back the intended parents. They tried to blackmail parents. And nobody can do anything with it. The law is on the mothers side. From this point of view Ukraine attracted us more. The surrogate mother is obliged to give a baby if she signed a contract. I havent seen such kind of problems in Ukraine. Moreover, the price we were offered was less than in USA and Russia. But it was a little bit more expensive than in Mexico. But even in Ukraine it didnt seem to be very fast and without any problems. There are so many clinics in Ukraine, mostly situated in Kiev. At first we went to Irtsa. We saw it web site and it looked ok. But when we arrived there it wasnt ok at all. We were pressed with signing contract. We received vague answers on our questions. There were no patients in the clinic. This fact put us on the alert. And in general we didnt like the atmosphere. So we refused signing their contract. But as we were in Kiev my husband suggested visiting other clinics. And can you imagine we also visited Biotexcom. It was really by chance. I didnt know any thing about this clinic before. So we just came there and talked to manager. And she didnt press us to sing the contract just explained the program. We confirmed the visit to the doctor. I can say that we were lucky to have an appointment with the doctor the nest day. As we understand then it was obligatory to arrange to see the doctor in advance. Thanks God, we had medical records with us. At the day of appointment we saw many couples from different countries. Some of them were for the first time too and some arrived for ultrasound with gestational mother. That day we signed a contract. We need to do two attempts. Our attempt was failure but we didnt give up. By the way, we also had package with unlimited attempts. So I must confess it was not easy at all. You can understand because you were in the same situation. I remember when I got the first ultrasound with the pregnancy confirmation and when I got the first screening. It was so exciting. And how I was nervous about the delivery. Of course all our nerves were worth our son. He is six months old. Micy, it is really a great pleasure for me to know other people who had the same way. I also feel very emotional to know that we were in the same clinic. I really hope that other couples will win for sure the infertility and will be lucky to experience motherhood and fatherhood. And how was your child registration? Did everything pass ok? Did you achieve success with the first attempt or not?

Kathy, I am so happy to meet people from my clinic)) Actually it is not rare situation. I often meet somebody from Biotexcom. It is very popular clinic nowadays)) I guess they are very attractive with the price and proposal. As I understand people start to refuse such countries of third world. Ukraine is European country. Of course they have problem with service) And clinic is not big, so there is not enough place inside the clinic for waiting. It is not very convenient. But their treatment covers all the cons. By the way, I have read about Mexico very bad things. They allow couples with AIDS and hepatitis to go in the program. It is a disaster, cause they infect surrogate mother, who accordingly infects the child. And when this infected surrogate mother will go in program with healthy couple, she will infect their child in the womb. So it is very good that you refused that idea. Concerning the attempts, yes, I was succeeded after the first attempt. But before it we had failed attempts in another clinic. I just didnt want to say. The problem is that clinic is really very good. The service is perfect, managers are very professional. I am so appreciate their support. The problem is that all attempts were failed. And I dont know the reason. It was in Georgia. And I know many couple who visited them. But I dont know anyone who had positive result. As for child registration, everything went smoothly)) We spent a little time for it. It was near two weeks. Our manager supported us in everything. She helped in Embassy. We didnt have any problems with registration. Mangers completely know what they should do. Sometimes our manager still write us and ask how the health our baby)) They havent the refund for this, but they are still very attentive) I think it is the image of the clinic.

Micy, for me it is a great pleasure, too. My husband and I are very glad for those couples that have already achieved success. Surrogacy is very contradictory procedure. A lot of ethical questions appear. A lot people think that surrogacy should be prohibited. The children arent conceived in a natural way. And there is a high risk for the health of surrogate mother. Nevertheless, there is another opinion. I was always inspired by the people who had the same problems and could fight with them. They were a great example for me to keep calm and believe in better. Infertility is common thing nowadays. That fact I first realized when I started looking for the clinics. When I came to Biotexcom I met a lot of couples. By the way, I still keep in contact with them. And most of that couples also achieved with the first attempt some with the second or third. Unfortunately, for those people it isnt a problem to have children, they will never understand the pain of others. They can talk about the morality and ethics but at home they will be met by their children. It is truth that opinions differ. As for me, I was also satisfied with managers work. Tell the truth I was afraid about the language. Ukrainian and Russian are spoken in Ukraine. But I dont speak these languages. They have Cyrillic alphabet, not Latin. I didnt know how I would communicate with the doctor, with the nurse, just in the street. I was notified in advance that not so many people spoke English. But it turned out to be not a problem at all. I was always accompanied my manager. She prepared all the documentation for the visits to doctor and in general, was very atterntive to me, too.

At Glaze Aid we can replace misted, foggy double glazed sealed units. This is not only cost effective but can be done on almost every type of window from wood to aluminium to UPVC.
When your sealed unit has broken down then insulating efficiency is reduced. This is caused by wet air; that is, condensation between your glass panes.
The longer you leave it the more damage occurs. Mist turns into water droplets then deposits mineral residue marking the glass and finally permanent glass damage. At this point the unit will have to be replaced.
Fogged UPVC Windows and their rubber seals are the most common faults that occur in the modern UPVC windows and doors.
Although "fogging" and "misting" can be can be cured it is surprising that to replace a sealed unit probably costs less than you think and this may, in certain circumstances, be the remedy to the original problem.
At Merit we will investigate the problem, ascertain the fault and recommend the appropriate action and cost options.

I've put in more time with Black and White, so I now feel qualified to tell you that this game is wonderful. That's my professional opinion.
Not that I wasn't expecting anything Peter Molyneux touched not to turn to gold, but you have to remain skeptical if you want to form a solid opinion. Who knows, maybe this could have been his colossal flop.
But it isn't.
Graphics, really good. There are certain glowy effects I'm not a complete fan of, but they are minimal.
The sounds and music are crisp and clear, and the voiceovers of your good and evil helpers is well done (exactly as you'd expect from the first game).
The controls are better, but not perfect. Certain things still feel a little clumsy to me. The movement around the island is good, but in a moment where you need to move from point A to point B in a quick amount of time, sometimes you'll overshoot your destination, or fumble with the rotation a bit. It does get easier with practice though.
There seems to be a lot more substance to the game this time around. And of course, you are welcome to be as evil or as saintly as you desire.
However, as evil a god as I am, I still had a hard time grappling with my creature's decision to shit on a peasant's head.
I mean come on... that's just fucked up.

Thomas J. Stipanowich, academic director of the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, William H. Webster Chair in Dispute Resolution, and professor of law, recently served as Editor-in-Chief for a new set of arbitration protocols for the College of Commercial Arbitrators. Entitled Protocols for Expeditious, Cost-Effective Commercial Arbitration, the work received the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution's Practical Achievement Award last week. Protocols will also be honored by the American Bar Association at the annual meeting in April.
"I am very pleased that the Protocols on Arbitration have garnered so much attention, and provoked a good deal of dialogue about the roles of clients and counsel in setting the stage for an effective dispute resolution process," said Stipanowich. "It is a healthy development."
Beginning with the premise that arbitration has become too much like litigation, Stipanowich and associate editors Curtis E. von Kann and Deborah Rothman lay out how to promote efficiency in commercial arbitration. Protocols provides measures to reduce process costs and delay with the goal of "restoring arbitration to its rightful place as a valuable and efficient alternative to litigation in the resolution of business disputes."
The College of Commercial Arbitrators was founded in 2001. Its mission is to promote the highest standards of conduct, professionalism, and ethics in commercial arbitration. The college develops "best practices" guidelines and materials and provides peer training and professional development.
Stipanowich is the author of numerous publications on arbitration and dispute resolution and has twice received the CPR Institute's First Prize for Professional Articles. He also led the CPR Institute's Commission on the Future of Arbitration, producing a book of practice guidelines called Commercial Arbitration at its Best. Stipanowich has extensive experience as a commercial and construction arbitrator, mediator, facilitator, and special master, with emphasis on large and complex cases, and serves as a neutral with JAMS. In 2008, he was given the D'Alemberte/Raven Award, the ABA Dispute Resolution Section's highest honor, for contributions to the field.

b 1928 Ontario, d 1990 Brussels
Gerald Bull had a vision and an obsession, a vision that led to estrangement from his native Canada, prison in America, and ultimately assassination by Israel. His vision was of an entirely new way to get into space: small rockets boosted by giant guns. To achieve it he worked for some of the worst regimes on earth: South Africa, China, and ultimately Iraq. His work affected the course of two modern wars and revived the ancient field of artillery.
My information about him comes from: "Arms and the Man - Dr. Gerald Bull, Iraq, and the Supergun" by William Lowther, Presidio Press, 1991. It's a crisp treatment of a fascinating subject. This picture came from there too: it shows Bull in 1965 when he headed up the HARP project in Barbados.
Bull was born in North Bay Ontario in 1928. He had a loveless childhood; he was raised by an aunt after the death of his mother and abandonment by his father. He excelled at school, however, and graduated at age 23 with a doctorate from the University of Toronto. At that point he was a standard-issue hacker: thin, pale, and with an enormous capacity for work. He wound up at the Canadian Armament and Research Development Establishment (CARDE), a world-class center for weapons research filled with technology transferred from Britain to Canada to keep it away from the Nazis.
After WW II CARDE was looking at the problems of supersonic aerodynamics in preparation for supersonic aircraft and missiles. Supersonic wind tunnels were expensive, but Bull hit on an alternate approach: instead of moving air at supersonic speeds past a model, fire the model at supersonic speeds down a test range. While in the barrel of the gun, the model would be surrounded by a wooden shell, or sabot. Upon leaving the gun, the sabot would fall away and the model would fly freely. High-speed cameras could record its behavior during flight. The scheme worked brilliantly on early missile tests, but was overshadowed by Soviet aircraft advances which caused the project's cancellation. This was Bull's introduction to large artillery.
Bull was saved from terminal nerd-dom by his marriage to Noemie Gilbert, a beautiful French-Canadian from a wealthy family. It brought a warmth and love to his life that he had never known. They had seven children, several of whom followed their father into aerospace engineering. Lowther says that "whatever else might be said about Dr. Bull's actions - particularly towards the end of his life - he had reason to be very proud of his family." They remember him with love, but provided a lot of honest opinion in interviews.
Bull became head of the Aerophysics Dept. of CARDE by age 31, and effectively the chief aerodynamicist of Canada. Still, he was too big a fish in too small a pond. He loathed bureaucracy, and they loathed him back. He was constantly talking to the press about what he could do if given more funds or time, and finally ticked off too many people. He left CARDE after only two more years and set up as a consultant and professor at McGill.
There followed an extraordinary period, like something out of "Dr. No". In 1961 Bull convinced a number of people in Washington of the value of large guns for both the testing of nosecones for orbital re-entry and as launch platforms in themselves. With money from the Pentagon and the Canadian Defense Dept. he set up Project HARP (High Alititude Research Program) to study high altitude ballistics and large guns. Bull bought a large parcel of land on the Vermont-Quebec border and set it up as a testing range. The tests were mainly in tunnels, since there wasn't room to test shells in free flight.
For free flight tests he bought a range in Barbados, where he could fire shells eastward over the Atlantic. He installed an old naval gun there with a 40 cm (15 in) caliber. It had a 20 m barrel and weighed 125 tonnes. Bull extended the barrel to 36 m, and developed special projectiles and special formulations of cordite. By the time he was done, he could launch a 180 kg projectile at 3600 m/s, which is about a third of escape velocity. He could hit altitudes of 180 km. That's not orbit, nor is 3600 m/s nearly enough to get things into orbit, but it showed what could be done. The whole project cost in the area of $10 million, chicken feed by missile standards.
Before he could extend his work to larger and longer guns, his plug got pulled. Enemies in Ottawa disparaged his work, saying that he had made inflated claims for it (which was true), that no satellite could survive the acceleration up the gun barrel (which was false), and that the whole project was cover for the Pentagon. Viet Nam was at its height, a war that was despised by the Canadians and that tainted everything done by the American military. They yanked his funding.
Before the axe fell, Bull managed to get the assets of HARP transferred to his own corporation. This let him continue to do research into artillery, now as a consultant to the world's armies.
Bull specialized in increasing the range of shells. He would improve their aerodynamics and would add bleeder charges to the bottom of shells that would emit gas to fill the vacuum left behind a shell in flight. Range makes a tremendous difference in artillery. If your gun can shoot thirty miles and you enemy's can shoot 20, that means you can stand ten miles out of his range and blow him to bits without risk to yourself.
Oddly enough, Bull himself was not particularly militarist. He never saw military service or even owned a handgun. He was said to be generous and thoughtful. He just found something that he really loved doing.
He consulted for everyone, but ran into trouble when he worked for the South Africans. The South Africans were having trouble in Angola at the time (the mid-Seventies). The communist government, aided by Cuban troops and Soviet artillery, was pounding their proxy soldiers to bits. Bull, with the implicit encouragment of the CIA, helped them design a new 155-mm howitzer with 50% more range than anything else at the time. He sold them gun barrels for it and thousands of shells. With the new guns, the South Africans were able to stop the Angolans cold.
Then Carter was elected, and South Africa was no longer in favor. Bull was brought up on charges of illegal arms dealing. On the advice of his lawyer, he pleaded guilty and served six months in prison in 1980.
It broke him. It ruined his repuation, cost him his facility in Quebec, and wrecked his company. When he got out of prison he was broke and desperate. He left Canada and set up in Brussels. He scrounged for work everywhere, and eventually wound up consulting for China and Iraq.
Iraq was in the midst of its own war at this time with Iran. They bought hundreds of Bull's howitzers from South Africa and Austria. The guns were particularly lethal on the open plains of the border between Iraq and Iran where there was no shelter from their fragments. Having been impressed by his work, they decided to hire him directly.
Here's where the supergun came into play. Bull convinced them that the only way that Iraq could join the club of major powers was if it could launch its own satellites. Israel already could. The supergun provided a cheap and impressive way to get into orbit. He called it Project Babylon.
This model of the gun was on display at the Baghdad International Exhibition for Military Production in May 1989. The tiny figure shows the scale.
Babylon was not, however, of much military use. It would have had a barrel 150 meters long and a meter in diameter. At the breech the barrel would be 30 cm thick. In all it would have weighed 2100 tonnes. This was obviously not something that could be moved around. One air strike could destroy it. Israel had already bombed Iraq once, when it destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981, so there was little doubt they would do it again if they felt threatened.
Bull knew they would be concerned, and briefed Mossad on the nature of the project. He also briefed MI5. But mindful of his experience with the US, he had the pieces of the project done quietly. He also kept much of the project secret from his family, knowing they would not approve.
In return for support for the supergun, Iraq demanded that he help them with the design of a multi-stage missile that they were trying to assemble out of SCUD parts. Bull agreed, and did many of the nosecone calculations.
That is what killed him. Israel had no great reason to care about the supergun, but they had much to fear from Iraqi missiles. Warning signs were left for him. His apartment was broken into several times, but nothing was stolen. A few items were disturbed just to show that someone had been there.
In March of 1990, Bull was killed outside his apartment by five shots to the back of his head. No one heard the shots, and no one was ever caught.
Project Babylon fell apart immediately. Bull was the engine for the whole project, and had most of it in his head. Three weeks after his murder, British customs agents seized the sections of the gun barrels, which were being made in Sheffield by a forging company who thought they were petrochemical pipes. His company, SRC, closed its offices immediately, and the personnel scattered or returned to Canada. Iraq never did get their missiles to work well.
Was all his work for naught? Basically, yes. Few others have seriously pursued guns as a launch platform, although SDI has funded some gas gun work at Livermore as an anti-missile defense. Some small country might still be interested in them as a cheap way into space, but the world now has a glut of conventional launchers. The ex-USSR is now desperate to make some money off of their own rocket development. A satellite in a gun launcher has severe limits on size and weight, and must be able to stand tremendous acceleration. Superguns would always have been a niche launch platform. Also, the prospect of assassination like Bull's does not encourage researchers.
So, an odd technological alley has been closed off. Israel re-confirms its reputation as a rogue nation. Six months after Bull's death, Iraq invades Kuwait and goes down in history for having made the world's worst foreign policy miscalculation. And speaking for the pyromaniac inside every engineer, I have to say that I'm glad someone tried out the giant gun alley, and glad that it wasn't me.

Rihanna Shoots Comedy 'End of the World' in New Orleans
Rihanna laughed it up with some of Hollywood's leading funnymen while shooting the apocalyptic comedy End of the World in New Orleans this week. Fresh off her first big screen role in Battleship, the "Where Have You Been" singer makes a cameo as herself in the film, directed by Seth Rogen.
The movie follows a group of celebrities who get stuck in actor James Franco's apartment when the apocalypse hits. RiRi held hands with Michael Cera while running through the grass in a see-through top and denim shorts. She made some new friends with Jonah Hill, Kevin Hart, and Emma Watson, and joked around with her BFF Melissa.
"Movie time in N.O, all my fav comedians in 1 room! Pure laughs non phuckin stop," tweeted Rihanna earlier in the week, later adding, "Just leaving set! Kevin Hart clearly has childhood issues! Lolololol ! This has to be one of my favorite moments in life."

Lukewarm, not real bad or real good
Posted by
GRAND MOUND, WASHINGTON -- This is a hard review to write, as the Burger Claim is not bad enough for a complaint or good enough for a compliment. The Burger Claim is a new burger joint on the property of the Great Wolf Lodge & Caisson in Grand Mound, WA. Their decor is cute, but they should do a better job on the food. I had the bacon mushroom burger, and the burger itself was good, fresh ground beef, applewoood smoked bacon and portabello mushroom, along with pickle, onion and lettuce. Now, one of the reasons I quit going to Wendy's was their hot beef patties on buns fresh out of the fridge. Burger Claim prides themselves on their 'Wheat Montana' buns, rolls, etc. The buns are served at room temperature, and don't bring a whole lot to the party. I had the so-called beer battered onion rings, and was sorely disappointed. Two dollars and ninety-nine cents for four rings! They were about an inch wide, and were greasy. The breading was the same cornmeal-based breading everyone else uses. You bite and you have a red-hot piece of onion hanging on you chin. If they cut the onion rings in half, and gave eight pieces instead of four, it would have seemed worth more. I couldn't tell if there was beer in the batter or not. Crystal had chicken strips, and said they were okay, but the julienne fries were greasy. The food is served in gold pans, which is an authentic touch. So, to sum up: 1. Toast the buns. 2. Change oil in frypots. 3. Make the onion rings seem like a better deal than $3 for four rings. 4. Find out the old A&W beer batter recipe and use it instead of cornmeal. The coffee was great, and the breakfast menu looks real good.

Maybe the owners of Burger Claim should look up the old Kenny King's (former sit-down restaurant chain/Kentucky Fried Chicken franchisee from Cleveland, OH) onion ring batter recipe. Kenny King's onion rings were to die for...very crispy, seasoned beer-type batter. When Kenny King's closed the last of their sit-down restaurants in the mid-1990's, there hasn't been any battered onion rings that even compared to Kenny King's. The recipe should be somewhere...maybe it's a closely guarded secret, like a lot of restaurant recipes.
DebtorBasher on 09/19/2010:
I've never heard of Burger Claim...I guess they are not around these parts. But, it does't sound like we're missing much though. Thanks for the review!
Venice09 on 09/20/2010:
The burger sounds pretty good but the fries and rings would be too greasy for me. I don't remember the last time I had good onion rings, but I love them when they're made right.
Nice review! I really want a hamburger.
Starlord on 09/20/2010:
When I was a kid, we had an A&W root beer stand near us. They made beer battered onion rings that should have been served in heaven. It was nothing like cornmeal, but the beer batter formed a substance sort of like a light bread that made almost an inch shell around the onion. Oh, man, was it good.
Anonymous on 09/20/2010:
If I'm going to eat onion rings, they have to be beer battered. Those are my absolute favorite.
Has anyone been to Five Guys Burgers & Fries? I tried it the last time I went home. The fries are great and so are the burgers. They give you so many fries though, that it would be imposible to eat even the small order. But, that way you can order them for at least 2 people and save. Seriously they would probably serve 3-4! Starlord, I think the closest one to you is in Renton, WA. If you're ever up there, check it out.
Starlord on 09/20/2010:
Singsing, thanks for the tip, will have to get to Renton to give it a try. I'm not like the guy on TV who was addicted to cheeseburgers, but I do appreciate a good burger.
Venice09 on 09/20/2010:
You're killing me, Star. I haven't had a hamburger, fries or onion rings in a long time. I remember beer battered onion rings and they are the best. I am really craving a cheeseburger deluxe with a side of rings.
Anonymous on 09/20/2010:
Venice, everything in moderation, that's for sure! Whenever I want to remind myself why I shouldn't eat at these places too often, I look up the calorie counts. I have to plan ahead if I want to eat something that high in calories. But, sometimes you just need a fix!
Venice09 on 09/21/2010:
Sing, I agree about eating in moderation and planning ahead, but the reason I haven't had a hamburger in so long is this:
I haven't had any ground beef since I read that article. Not just because I don't want to get sick, but mostly due to what could possibly be in the beef. I just can't get it out of my head.
Anonymous on 09/21/2010:
That's pretty bad, Venice. I have never liked the idea of those pre-formed frozen patties and wouldn't eat them. I rarely eat at fast food places either, but mostly because I know it's unhealthy. There are still ways to make hamburgers, especially at home. My brother buys a cheaper cut of meat and grinds it at home. It tastes great!
We have a home-grown place in WA called Burgerville. I think it's only in SW Washington. They use only sustainble products--a lot of healthy, local products, including the beef. www.oregoncountrybeef.com This is my usual place when I'm home and need a good burger/fries fix. Five Guys follows similar guidelines. They use only fresh ground beef. I'm pretty selective about where I eat fast food--because I don't do it very often.
I'm thinking that those pre-formed patties that are frozen are probably the worst thing to buy. People buy them either because they think it's easier or because it's cheap. Maybe both! Of course, we can also get sick on a number of other things too (chicken coming to mind).
Venice09 on 09/21/2010:
With so many foods making people sick, it's easy to become paranoid, so I try not to dwell on it. But when I read about those by-products in the ground beef, it really freaked me out. I am thinking about buying a grinder but haven't looked at any yet. I really miss hamburgers and meatloaf. I also have to find out from the butchers at my supermarket if they grind the meat in the store and if anything is added to it. I usually shop at night when the butchers are gone, so I have to make a point of going in during the day. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat a fast food burger again. I don't trust the frozen ones either. There are a couple Five Guys in the area but not really close.
I am very careful with the food I buy and prepare at home. I haven't made anyone sick so far.
GenuineNerd on 09/29/2010:
I love Five Guys...however, don't fill up on the peanuts before your burger is ready.

This was Jon Spaihts original draft of Prometheus?
Yes. And I thought it was really cool. It was not at all what I expected it to be. But obviously they were giving it to me for a reason. And this is one of those situations where you're given no advance sense of what they like, what they don't like, you just have to walk out on the plank and say, Here is my fundamental reaction to this thing. So when I finished it I went into my office and I wrote an email to Ridley and his producing partners. And this response was basically my job interview. I wrote maybe a four or five paragraph email saying here are all the things I love about it, I think there are some incredible set pieces here, I love the fundamental idea behind the movie, I feel like it's a cool think piece. BUT I think it's relying a bit too heavily on the Alien stuff that we've seen now five or six times in different movies. Chest-bursting and face-hugging and xenomorphs and I just feel that your idea is so strong and the characters can be made so strong that we don't need any of that stuff. We can present iterations of that stuff in different ways. That isn't to say that this isn't a movie that should be set in that universe, but I look at it more like a story that is running parallel to the original Alien, so that if there was a sequel to this movie, it would not be Alien, it would be Prometheus 2. And then Prometheus 2 is parallel to Aliens. And here's how we could do that. And so I sent off that email and I got into my bed. I didn't sleep at all. And at 10 a.m. the next morning, my agent called me and said, 'Whatever it is you did, they liked it. Can you go in and meet now?'
Who was at that meeting?
Ridley, two producing partners, and the executive from Fox on it. On my way over there I wrote in my head this sort of very formal speech on how much Ridley's influenced me and what a thrill it is to be considered for this job… and I got about six words into that speech and he cut me off. He goes, "Let's talk about your email." So there we were sitting at a table talking about this science fiction movie that he wanted to direct and that they were considering me to write and I kept trying to leave my body and hover above the table and look down thinking, Oh my god, this might actually happen for you! And we had this great meeting. I think it was on a Friday afternoon. And at the end, he said, "Are you available to come in this weekend and talk some more?" And I said, of course. And at that point I realized they were probably going to hire me. That's the long-winded origin story.
Did Ridley tell you at any point why he chose you? Was he fan of Lost?
He was definitely aware of Lost. Ridley is not the kind of guy who watches a television series. He will watch 20 minutes of a show here and an episode there. He was aware of it, he knew what it was, he knew what I did. He had seen the show, but he was not trying to present to me, like, Oh my God, I'm a huge Lostie! John Locke is my favorite character! As much as a writer can have a specific skill set or a brand, he was very interested that my brand seemed to be in mystery and ambiguity. And that's what's so cool about the original Alien — Hey, here's this distress call, we just went down there, we see this weird massive alien creature sitting in a chair and there's eggs everywhere and there's nobody there to explain what happened. It's just the situation they're in. And I think the idea for this movie was, well, let's have characters who are a little more interested in answering those questions before the s— hits the fan. They don't just happen upon the haunted house, they're actually looking for it. They just don't realize it's haunted till they get there. We talked a lot about mystery. That was my only hint of why he sought me out.
Did you have any reluctance about working on someone else's script? Not being the guy who was there from go?
Yeah! Definitely! Especially since I felt like Jon had done a really good job of executing his drafts. I sent him an email as soon as I was formally hired saying, 'Hey, you're gonna read about this — that I've been hired to do this thing and I want you to know that whatever gets said, I'm going to try to retain as much of what you did as possible because I thought it was great. And then the story came out: Lindelof comes in and pitches this radical new take on this movie that used to be a prequel and is now transforming into its own original thing. I reached out to Jon again to say that's not at all what happened. Ridley had a very specific idea of the story he wanted to tell. And sometimes you have to look at different versions of it to know what it is you want and what you don't want. Whatever it is, I didn't get the sense that there was any bad blood with Jon. They were just looking for someone to say to them, Hey, we don't need the Alien stuff in here. It shouldn't be about that. It can be a part of this movie, but it shouldn't be what it's about.
NEXT: How long did Prometheus take to write… and is it an Alien prequel?
