The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Re: weekly on afghanistan
Barak Obama is approaching a decision on the war in Afghanistan>. During
the election he argued that while Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong
time, Afghanistan was a necessary war. His reasoning was that the threat
to the United States came from al Qaeda, Afghanistan had been al Qaeda's
sanctuary, and if the United States were to abandon Afghanistan, al Qaeda
would reestablish itself and once again threat the U.S. Homeland.
Therefore withdrawal from Afghanistan would be dangerous, and prosecution
of the war necessary.
After he took office, it became necessary to define a war fighting
strategy in Afghanistan. The most likely model was based on the one used
in Iraq by General David Petraeus, no head of U.S. Central Command, which
is responsible for both Afghanistan and Iraq. It is the paradox that the
framework for fighting the right war was derived from the success of the
U.S. military in executing what Obama regarded as the wrong war I don't
know if we need this remark...COIN wasn't devised and derived from the
Iraq surge. It was the application of COIN techniques.
, but grand strategy-the choice of which wars to fight-and strategy-how to
fight the right wars, are not necessarily linked.
To understand the arguments underway, it is necessary to understand how
the Iraq war is read by the strategists fighting the war, since a great
deal of proposed Afghan strategy is the transfer of lessons learned from
Iraq. Iraq had three phases. First, there as the short conventional war
that defeated Saddam's military. There was then the period from 2003-2006
in which the U.S. faced a Sunni insurgency and resistance from the Shiite
population, as well as a civil war between the two communities-all without
engaging in extended political processes designed to undermine the
insurgency. The second phase was an attempt to destroy the insurgency by
primarily military means while trying to create a national unity
government and hold elections. The third phase, beginning in 2006 was
primarily a political phase, consisting of enticing Iraqi Sunni leaders to
desert the foreign Jihadists in Iraq, splitting the Shiite community among
its various factions an reaching political-and financial-accomodations
among the various factions. In the third phase, the military operations
were focused on supporting political processes, from pressuring
recalcitrant factions, to protecting those who aligned with the United
States. The increase in troops-the surge-was designed to facilitate this
strategy, but even more to convince Iraqi factions that the United States
was not pulling out of Iraq but was going to remain, and that therefore
political guarantees made to Iraqis would be backed up by a continuing
American presence.
It is important to understand the last piece of this and its effect on
Afghanistan. At the heart of the Afghan strategy-as in Iraq-is the idea
that the United States would not abandon allies by withdrawing forces
until their security could be guaranteed by internal security forces. The
premature withdrawal of US troops from Iraq-before that security could be
guaranteed-would undermine the strategy in Afghanistan. The process of
security guarantees in Afghanistan depends to a great extent on the
credibility of those guarantees, and withdrawal from Iraq, followed by
renewed violations and retribution against those allied with the United
States, would undermine the core of the Afghan strategy.
General McChrystal's strategy is ultimately built around the principle
that the United States and allied military is capable of protecting
Afghan's prepared to cooperate with them. This is why, the heart of
McChrystal's strategy is to put as many of his men as close to the Afghan
people as he can. That means closing some of the smaller bases in remote
valleys and opening them in densely populated areas like the Helmand River
Mchrystal's strategy therefore has three phases. In phase one, his forces
fight their way into regions where large numbers of the population lives
and where Taliban has currently operates. In phase two, because these
areas are essential to the Taliban, Taliban is forced to counterattack and
try to drive McChrystal's forces out-or at least demonstrate that they
cannot provide security to the population. In phase three, paralleling the
first two, McChrystal uses military success to forge alliances with
indigenous leaders and their followers. Finally, down the road, as his
forces secure populated areas, his forces move from strategic defensive to
offensive operations to destroy the Taliban.
This fundamental difference between Iraq and Afghanistan is this: in Iraq,
resistance forces rarely operated in sufficient concentrations to block
access to the population. On several occasions the Taliban has struck with
concentrations of forces in the hundreds -- essentially at company size
strength. If Iraq was a level one conflict, with irregular forces
generally declining conventional engagement with coalition forces,
Afghanistan is beginning to bridge the gap from level one to level two
conflict, with Taliban holding territory with forces both able to provide
conventional resistance-and also able to mount some offensives at the
company level - and perhaps battalion level in the future.
That means that occupying, securing and defending areas sufficiently so
that the inhabitants see the coalition forces as defenders, rather than as
magnets for conflict is the key challenge. There is a tension built into
McChrystal's strategy. First, the inhabitants will experience multi-level
conflict as coalition forces move into a region. Second, McChrystal is
hoping that Taliban moves to the offensive in response. That means that
the first and second step collide with the third. The level of conflict
will increase-a point McChrystal acknowledges-while the strategic intent
is to demonstrate to the population that they are more secure with the
coalition present than without it. To do this, the coalition will have to
be stunningly successful both in defeating Taliban defenders, and in
repulsing Taliban attacks.
The coalition advantage is fire power, both in terms of artillery and air
power. For the Taliban to attack it must concentrate its forces. To
counter Taliban, the weapons of choice are air strikes and artillery. The
problem with both of these weapons is first, there is an inherent
inaccuracy, and second, the attackers will be moving through population
centers, since the area held by both sides is important precisely because
it has population. That means that air and ground fire missions are both
important for a defensive strategy, and runs counter to the doctrine of
protecting population.
McChrystal is fully aware of this dilemma and he has therefore changed the
rules of engagement to severely limit air strikes in areas of concentrated
population, even in areas where US troops are in danger of being overrun.
As McChrystal told Stratfor, he told us? these rules of engagement will
hold "Even if it means we are going to step away from a firefight and
fight them another day.
There are two challenges posed by this strategy. First, it shifts the
burden of the fighting to U.S. infantry. Second, by declining combat in
populated areas, it abandons populated areas where political arrangements
might already be in place. In avoiding air and missile strikes, McChrystal
avoids alienating the population through civilian casualties. By
declining combat, McChrystal risks alienating the population who are
abandoned by withdrawing forces. Air strikes can devastate the civilian
population. Withdrawal to avoid air strikes can be devastating by being
perceived by the population as betrayal.
McChrystal is caught between a rock and a hard place on this. One of his
solutions is to ask for more troops. The point of these troops is not to
occupy Afghanistan and impose a new reality through military force, which
is impossible (at least given the amount of troops the U.S. is willing to
dedicate to the problem), but to provide infantry forces not only to hold
larger areas, but to serve as reinforcements during Taliban attack so that
the use of air power can be avoided.
It must be understood that this is a radical departure in U.S. fighting
doctrine since World War II. Geopolitically, the United States fights at
distance at the end of a long supply line. In addition, those forces
operate at a demographic disadvantage. Once in Eurasia (understand as
Europe and Asia) U.S. forces are always outnumbered. Infantry on infantry
warfare is attritional and the United States runs out of troops before the
other side. Not only does infantry warfare not provide the U.S. any
advantage, it places the US at a disadvantage. The opponents have larger
numbers, greater familiarity and acclimation to the terrain, and usually
better intelligence from countrymen behind U.S. lines. The American
counter has always been force multipliers-normally artillery and air
power-that could destroy enemy concentrations before they closed with U.S.
troops. McChrystal's strategy, if applied rigorously, shifts doctrine
toward infantry on infantry combat. The assumption here is that superior
U.S. training will be the force multiplier as it may. But that assumes
that the Taliban, a light infantry force that has numerous battle hardened
formations and is optimized for battle in Afghanistan, is an inferior
infantry force. It assumes that U.S. infantry fighting larger
concentrations of Taliban will consistently defeat them.
Obviously, if McChrystal drives Taliban out of secured areas an into
uninhabited areas, there will be tremendous opportunity to engage in
strategic bombardment both against the troops themselves and against lines
of supply that will no longer be able to draw on populated area. But that
assumes that Taliban does not reduce its operations from company and
higher assaults, and doesn't choose to go down to guerrilla level
operations. If they do that, they become indistinguishable from the
population, and can engage in attritional warfare against coalition forces
and against the protected population to demonstrate that coalition forces
can't protect them. The bet that McChrystal is making that his forces will
form bonds with the local population so deep that they will provide
intelligence against Taliban operating in the region.
The strategy of training Afghan soldiers and police to take up the battle
and persuading insurgents to change sides faces three realities. Taliban
has an excellent intelligence service built up during the period of its
rule and afterwards. It will populate the new forces with its agents and
loyalists. Persuading insurgents to change sides will certainly happen.
Whether it can happen to the extent that Taliban is materially weakened by
the shifts is more questionable. In Iraq, this worked not because of
individual changes, but because regional ethnic leadership-with their own
excellent intelligence capabilities-changed sides and drove out opposing
factions. In the case of individual defections, they were frequently
Taliban leaders have not shown any inclination for changing sides. They do
not believe the U.S. is changing. The ability to get individual Taliban
troops to change sides creates an intelligence-security battle. The
Coalition must demonstrate that the risks of defection are dwarfed by the
advantages. To do this the Coalition security and counter-intelligence
must consistently and effectively block Taliban's ability to identify,
locate and liquidate defenders. If McChrystal cannot do that, large scale
defection will be impossible, because well before it gets to large scale,
the first defectors will be dead. And so will those seen as collaborators
by the Taliban.
Ultimately, the entire strategy depends on how you read Iraq. In Iraq,
you had a political decision made by an intact leadership among the
Sunnis, able to enforce their will among their followers. Squeezed
between Shiites and foreign Jihadists who wanted to usurp their position,
provided with political and financial incentives, and possessing their own
forces able to provide a degree of security themselves, they came to the
see the Americans as the lesser of evils. They controlled a critical mass
and shifted. McChrystal has made it clear that the defections he expects
is not a faction of the Taliban whose leadership decides to shift, but
Taliban soldiers as individuals or small groups. That isn't ultimately
what turned the Iraq war but a very different-and quite elusive goal in
counterinsurgency. He is looking for retail defections to turn into a
strategic event. If it happens, it is not what happened in Iraq.
Second, it seems to us much to early to speak of the success of the
strategy in Iraq. First, there is increasing intra-communal violence in
anticipation of coming elections. Second, some 120,000 U.S. troops remain
in Iraq to guarantee the agreements of 2007-2008. It is far from clear
what would happen if those troops left. Finally, as in Afghanistan there
is the Pakistan question, in Iraq there remains the Iran question.
Instability is a cross border issue beyond the scope of existing forces.
Iraq is used as the argument in favor of the new strategy. What happened
in Iraq was that a situation that was completely out of hand became
substantially less unstable because of a set of political accommodation
that were rejected by the Americans and the Sunnis from 2003-2006. A
disastrous situation was transformed into an unstable situation with many
unknowns still in place.
If the goal of Afghanistan is to forge the kind of tenuous political
accords that govern Iraq, what is needed is the factional conflicts that
tore Iraq apart. There are certainly factional conflicts, but Taliban, the
main adversary, does not seem to be torn by them. It is possible that
under sufficient pressure such splits might occur, but Taliban has been a
cohesive force for a generation and when it split, it didn't do so
On the other hand, it is not clear that the American interests in
Afghanistan can sustain long-term infantry conflict in which the offensive
is deliberately ceded to a capable enemy, and where air power's use is
severely circumscribed to avoid civilian casualties. This is not merely a
change in strategy, but one which flies in the face of over half a century
of military doctrine of combined arms operations.
The American interest in Afghanistan is to defeat al Qaeda and prevent the
emergence of follow on Jihadist forces. The problem is that regardless of
how secure Afghanistan is, Jihadist forces can train and plan in Pakistan,
Somalia, Indonesia-or Cleveland. Afghanistan is in no way a precondition
for that.
The argument for fighting in Afghanistan is powerful and similar to the
one for fighting in Iraq-credibility. The abandonment of either country
will create a powerful tool in the Islamic world for the Jihadists to
argue that the US is a weak power. Withdrawal from either place without a
degree of political success can destabilize regimes that cooperate with
the United States. Given that, staying in either country has little to do
with strategy and everything to do with simply being there.
The counter-argument for fighting in either country is equally
persuasive. The Jihadists are right-the US has neither the interest or
forces for long-term engagements in these countries. American interests go
far beyond the Islamic world and there are many threats from outside the
region that exist now and will in the future that require forces. Over
commitment in any one area of interest at the expense of others can be
even more disastrous than the consequences of withdrawal.
Obama's choices are, in our view, not between McChrystal's strategy and
others, but a careful consideration of how to manage the consequences of
withdrawal. There is an excellent case to be made that now is not the time
to leave. We expect Obama to be influenced by that idea far more than the
details of McChrystal's strategy. As McChrystal himself points out, there
are many unknowns and many risks in his own strategy.
is guaranteeing nothing>.
Reducing American national strategy to what we do in the Islamic world-or
worse-what we do in Afghanistan, is the greater threat. Nations find their
balance, and the heavy pressures on Obama in this decision basically
represents those impersonal forces battering on him. The question he must
ask himself is simple-in what way is the future of Afghanistan of
importance to the United States. The answer-that it stops al Qaeda-is
simply wrong. An Afghan policy does not stop a global terrorist
organization. They just go elsewhere. And in any event, al Qaeda as it
existed in 2001 has been defeated [link to any one of our aQ pieces on
this] The answer that it is important in shaping the Islamic world's sense
of American power is far more serious, but even that must be taken in
context of other global interests.
Obama does not want this to be his war. He does not want to be remembered
for Afghanistan the way Bush is remembered for Iraq or Johnson for
Vietnam. Right now, we suspect that he thinks that he will show his
commitment and then if it fails, disengage at the right time. Johnson and
Bush showed that disengagement after commitment is a nice idea. We do not
think there is an effective strategy for winning in Afghanistan, but that
McChrystal has proposed a good one for "hold until relieved." Obama is
thinking we suspect that he will hold until he decides to leave. We
suspect that with this decision, the that train is leaving the station.
could be a bit clearer I think here about what you mean

Duryea resident Lorraine Henrich says the region needs a long-term fix to Susquehanna River flooding that will help communities not protected by levees.
She points to the nearby Francis E. Walter Dam on the Lehigh River as a model of success controlling water flow and said a similar project north of Tunkhannock could erase the need for levees and buyouts in the Wyoming Valley.
�??Haven�??t we had enough? Maybe it�??s time for them to start looking at other solutions,�?� said Henrich, a chemist who returned to the area four years ago from Philadelphia. �??Think of the millions and millions of dollars in property damage every time it floods.�?�
Henrich will soon meet with elected officials in all flood-prone communities along the Susquehanna to present her idea and urge them to sign a letter seeking federal action. She also will ask the officials to provide the letter to citizens for their signatures.
She believes a utility company would be interested in bearing some or all construction costs if the government would allow a hydroelectric dam.
Henrich, 67, is prepared for a backlash of skepticism because the national trend has been toward dam removal. A dam would require a massive parcel of land along the river to hold water, and government regulations have tightened since the Francis E. Walter Dam was built in the 1960s.
Chris Augsburger, public affairs chief at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineering in Baltimore, said the agency can�??t weigh the pros and cons of Henrich�??s idea without analyzing the specifics.
�??For us as a federal agency to consider flood-risk management solutions, we must first have congressional authorization and appropriations to conduct a thorough and comprehensive study on what best addresses flooding in the area,�?� Augsburger said.
The agency supports community efforts to explore ideas that reduce flood risks and improve public safety and security, he said.
�??We also don�??t limit ourselves to just one option. We use the best science available to study the conditions and develop a host of viable alternatives, from structural �?? such as a dam or levee �?? to non-structural �?? such as a flood warning system, or any combination of each,�?� he said.
Finding the most �??effective, affordable and environmentally viable�?� solution is the goal, he said.
Henrich said she came up with the idea because she spends a lot of time fishing and hiking at the Francis E. Walter Dam, which stopped flooding in Jim Thorpe and other downstream Lehigh River communities.
More levees would be ineffective, Henrich believes.
If a levee was built in West Pittston, which is unlikely because of the cost, it would send more water into Duryea, she said, comparing levees to a girdle.
�??It holds in the tummy, but the excess pops up above, like a muffin top. Levees don�??t make water go away, they just push it somewhere else,�?� she said.
Henrich believes some upstate area would be receptive to a hydroelectric dam because it would create jobs and a lake with recreational opportunities.
Without a dam, more homes and businesses in the Wyoming Valley will be forced to leave through buyouts after future floods, she said.
�??Take this problem water and turn it into something good,�?� she said.
Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority Executive Director Jim Brozena cautioned that no flood-control system is a cure-all.
He pointed to the Johnstown flood of 1889, when the South Fork dam failed, releasing 20 million tons of water and killing 2,209 people.
�??Dams �?? like levees �?? have tops on them, and if you overtop a dam or the dam fails, you have Johnstown,�?� Brozena said.

Re: PETA Parody: Pokemon Black and Blue
I'm surprised they're allowed to do this using actual Pokemon logos and characters. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo stepped in and made them take it down or at least only reference Pokemon rather than completely copy it, which is just lazy on their part.
Because showing kids pictures of beaten up and skinned Pokemon is real mature. And putting disgusting images of animal cruelty in their faces is even worse. I think they should focus on real animals rather than cartoon animals. Antagonising Pokemon fans is really going to make us support them, isn't it?

I actually like it… is it available in stores or online?
Also if they put real animals I would see it as pro PETA vs Pokemon rather than pro Pokemon vs PETA… Cynical mockery is how I see it.

Re: PETA Parody: Pokemon Black and Blue
I played it, and it was fun, and disturbing, of course. But the video really mad me feel bad for animals, which I already have a soft spot for anyways. Probably should've put a graphic warning or something.
I'm for animal welfare, but not so much for animal rights, which is a totally different thing. I think PETA shouldn't care if a kids game puts animals in high-tech balls. :B Pokemon wouldn't go in them if they weren't happy would they? :P
I'm betting Nintendo or Gamefreak one will do something about the copyright though. Oh well I guess. :P It was kinda funny actually. Prof. Juniper twitching. XD

Re: PETA Parody: Pokemon Black and Blue
This is freaking sick. And by the use of the word "sick," I am using its literal meaning if "disgusting" and "repulsive."
I was horrified to see this piece of utter
. I played it for a short time to see what it was like, and I was utterly disgusted by that first animal cruelty video. I closed it partway through because I cannot deal and WILL not deal with such disturbing footage depicting something completely unrelated to the "message" pokemon sends out. Animal cruelty is so different from what pokemon is that it's like comparing an apple with a CD cabinet. Except that one is evil. Let's make it the CD cabinet because they eat your CDs.
How the flippin' hell is this a campaign? And at that, how is it a parody? Parodies are meant to be funny. I didn't laugh a single bit. The only thing I could laugh at is how inaccurate their depiction and interpretation of pokemon is. I don't think classing pokemon in the same freakin' category as
animal abuse
has got anything to do with a parody. If it IS a parody, they're parodying animal cruelty in a most disturbing way, by incorporating something that shows time and again that it has nothing to do with animal cruelty (in the FRIST FREAKING EPISODE of the anime, Ash, a mere
ten year old
, is willing to sacrifice himself for a pikachu he knew
one day
. How, in ANYONE'S eyes, is that animal abuse? On top of that, ALL of the Ranger games are based on friendship, and oh, pokemon evolving through friendship/a bond with their trainer means nothing? Is THAT animal cruelty?), and in effect they parody the exact thing they're trying to campaign against. How does one take a needle sticking out of the back of that snivy's head seriously? It's a cruel misinterpretation of something serious, and focusing it entirely on the wrong thing. It really seems like they're mocking animal cruelty and using something unrelated to do it. It REALLY does. Because if they know what pokemon is truly about, they wouldn't be using it in this parody: unless they're parodying animal abuse itself.
How the heck is showing a shocking, disturbing video going to help anything? This whole thing made me disgusted at this organisation or whatever the heck they are. They should be ashamed if they think that this is going to stop people playing the games or consider that it's correct, because all they're doing is demonising something for the wrong purposes and taking its meaning FAR out of context and, in its process, saddening and angering fans in an attempt to guilt-trip them for playing something and loving something that apparently sends a horrifying message to its audience. That is
. If they did their freaking
, they'd KNOW that so much of pokemon is based off friendship and they wouldn't be trying to send out some bogus message. They're freaking nazis trying to make a "point" in any way they can, even if it means completely twisting something innocent just to elevate their argument. Sure, if they had a POINT and if their assumptions were actually CORRECT and pokemon DID send out this message, then that would make more sense, but that's not the case. Doing THIS to pokemon is sickening, WRONG and makes no sense. It's such a pathetic attempt to protest because it has no freaking merit.
It's not some light-hearted parody if there's a horrific video not suitable for any CHILD to see early on in the game. Nor me, an eighteen year old. I would never want to see that. It's not a parody if it compared pokemon in poke balls to circus animals in shackles. That's pretty serious. I don't think they're doing that for freaking laughs. And an animal protection agency thing is not going to make a mockery of the thing they're fighting for. Yes, they mock pokemon, but they do it in seriousness, otherwise why would they do it? They're horribly misguided and uninformed if they think they have a single thing against pokemon.
Just quickly, the difference between animals in chains being trained for the circus and pokemon being trained to travel and battle alongside a trainer is free will. I'm tipping no animal in a circus wants to be shackled and trained (in cruel ways, mind you, which is NOT what pokemon encourages or depicts), but pokemon choose to. For instance, all of Ash's pokemon would sacrifice themselves for him, as he would sacrifice himself for them. They WANT to travel with him, and they have no problem battling. The thing is that through friendly competition, pokemon and traines alike grow and learn. But this horribly inaccurate group take the real meaning of pokemon, tear it into little pieces and hide it under the rug, taking the simplest negative meaning from it as possible.
I'm sensitive to people attacking pokemon. I love it far too much to sit by and see something like THIS
happen and not be affected by it. It's like they're grasping at straws to content to attack, trying to send some failing message that has absolutely nothing to do with pokemon. And what the flip is with them doing this fifteen years too late? If they're really an animal rights organisation, why the heck did they ignore it all this time and then suddenly decide to attack it now? Are they really THAT slow, or are they just trying to attack anything they can? Maybe it's that they never thought of it as something terrible till now, because they want freaking attention and are willing to disgrace anything they can just to be recognised. Well they chose a futile way to do it, because this is going to change nobody's mind about animal cruelty. I took one look at this and was immediately against this group for being ignorant. They have no idea what they're talking about and therefore have no right to claim things that are ultimately absolutely false, and, as I said before, have not the slightest bit of accompanying credibility.
They made a fuss over a Tomb Raider game because Lara Croft shoots a tiger in self defence. That says to me that they're a petty group with weak assumptions and pathetic cases. Sure, they probably do good stuff here and there and their message, even if they fail TERRIBLY at getting it across in this instance, is probably one with good intentions, but WOW did they miss the mark with this. It just shows that they really have no freakin' idea what they're talking about. I won't take it seriously for that reason, but in saying that, that doesn't mean I think THEY don't reckon they're doing this in all seriousness.
Truthfully this seems like a way to anger fans than anything else. It's not going to change anybody's mind about anything other than the lowly standard of this organisation and their utter failure to create any sort of valid argument or point. I have ALWAYS been against animal abuse and heck, I have trouble killing MOTHS, but I will love pokemon till my dying day, and seeing it treated like this, and associated with this,
out of context, just makes me fume at this group.
If they wanted an effective campaign, they failed.

Miami's Ten Best Hidden Gems
These places aren't made for out-of-towners.
Jacob Katel Lunch in a Japanese market, anyone?
They're made for Miamians. And that's why we keep them a secret. We take our family, perhaps a friend or a date. But that's it. We don't want these places disrupted by rowdy crowds.
What follows are the top ten hidden gems in Miami.

10. Bali Café
Emily Codik All of this for 17 bucks.
At this downtown cash-only restaurant, you can indulge in delicious, inexpensive Indonesian fare. There are shrimp dumplings coated in peanut sauce; deep-fried egg rolls stuffed with chicken and cabbage; and por ayam -- chicken legs cooked in spiced coconut milk. Bali Café's best deal is its rijsttafel, an elaborate six-course tasting menu that costs only $17.45. Try the sambal goreng teri kacang, a spicy blend of anchovies, peanuts, and chili sauce. It is delicious.
9. Etzel Itzik Deli
Zachary Fagenson Come for the hummus. Stay for the sabich.
Etzel Itzik Deli in Aventura just might be the best Israeli spot in town. For breakfast, they serve shakshouka -- eggs poached in a fiery tomato sauce. For lunch, they've got hummus, labneh, and sandwiches crammed with egg, pickled mango, eggplant, and tahini called sabich. They're all great, but who are we kidding? Are you obsessed with the cookbook Jerusalem? Then you must go to Etzel Itzik and try the real deal.

Anyone Write for Examiner?
And if so, do you manage to make any money? Or do you use it more as a tool to get yourself out there?
I'm wondering if it's worth my time, since I'm not one of those who can knock out an article in 20 minutes, but I DO love the niche I was accepted for, BUT it's not a high demand subject (history).
I already have my own history column that's NOT rev share (thank ye writing gods), but if this place actually pays I'd do it in a heartbeat. The little I've been able to find out on the web hasn't been too promising, but I figured I'd ask you guys. Anyone have any experience to share, or even hearsay?
They want my first article within 5 days if I accept so I can't dither.

OK then ... I'll take that as a no. Thanks anyway.
I write for them off and on. I've been back on since August. Last month I made $50, but that was with writing only one or two newsworthy articles a day. Some people make fulltime money there, but they write way more than I do.
In order to make good money with Examiner you have to have a news related channel so your content gets promoted to Google News. Evergreen content can make money, but it takes time to build just like all the other rev share sites.
I write for Examiner. I have celebrity, television, writing, healthy foods and top news. I write evergreen on the writing and healthy foods and news related on all of them.
When I actually work it like a full time job I can easily crank out a few grand a month in earnings and I know a lot of writers who do. But, I wanted to work on my own websites so I don't write there as much as I used to. The money is still decent for me even when I write a few articles a month.

And the rising sun shall rise yet higher, destroying with its flaming fire the evil will of the wicked West, but smiling warmly on the rest.Anthony Burgess
The smiling daughter of the storm. †††††Charles Caleb Colton
Smile, smile , smile At your mind As often as possible. Your smiling will considerably reduce Your mind's tearing tension.Sri Chinmoy
Smiling always with a never fading serenity of countenance, and flourishing in an immortal youth.Isaac Barrow
Flowers are God's way of smilingProverb
There can be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling.Mirabel Osler
Oh! Death will find me, long before I tire Of watching you; and swing me suddenly Into the shade and loneliness and mire Of the last land! There, waiting patiently, One day, I think, I'll feel a cool wind blowing, See a slow light across the Stygian tide, And hear the Dead about me stir, unknowing, And tremble. And J shall know that you have died, And watch you, a broad-browed and smiling dream, Pass, light as ever, through the lightless host, Quietly ponder, start, and sway, and gleam Most individual and bewildering ghost! And turn, and toss your brown delightful head Amusedly, among the ancient Dead.Rupert Brooke
Politics seems much less important today. When you see your young daughter smiling as she was, and moving around, it's a superb feeling.James Gordon Brown
Beyond the smiling and the weeping, I shall be soon; Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, I shall be soon! Love, rest, and home Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come!Horatius Bonar
Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners. But if my love is your love We're certain to succeed.David Robert Jones
The only other thing I've noticed is some kind of acute muscular spasm in my neck and left shoulder, and that's hardly entertaining, except maybe for the bit where the doctor rather brilliantly prescribed me diazepam so I necked some and walked very slowly around the Westfield shopping centre listening to Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme on repeat on an MP3 player, smiling eerily at shoppers.Charlton

In the dark room a cloud of yellow dust flew from beneath the tool like a scatter of sparks from under the hooves of a galloping horse. The twin wheels turned and hummed. Binet was smiling, his chin down, his nostrils distended. He seemed lost in the kind of happiness which, as a rule, accompanies only those mediocre occupations that tickle the intelligence with easy difficulties, and satisfy it with a sense of achievement beyond which there is nothing left for dreams to feed on.Gustave Flaubert

I have a thick head of fine hair… Most days it just goes slack with no volume, no jush! I am forever looking for a leave in product to help give my hair a lift or even just add a little body or thickness to the strands; I just want my hair to have some sort of presence. I recently received the Elujuda hair treatment from Milbon and was more than excited to see how my luck stacked out with it!
Milbon is a Japanese hair care line that is breaking through to the US market. The Elujuda hair treatment hasn't yet been released in the US but is set to come out early 2013. Elujuda comes in two formulas: Fluent Oil for thin hair and Mellow Oil for thick hair. Fluent Oil (or FO) is designed to strengthen and thicken the hair, increase elasticity, and create natural movement. Mellow Oil (or MO) is formulated to soften the hair to create natural movement.
Obviously the one I am testing out is FO because of my fine hair. The key ingredients in this product are: Boabob Seed Oil, Argan Oil, and Silk PPT.
Typically I am fearful of oil based hair treatments because the heavier my hair is the more weighted down it will look. For sake of reviewing I followed their directions step my step. I divided my hair into sections, started at the ends worked my way up the hair strands; massaged the product thoroughly into my hair from inside/underneath-out. With what was left in my hands I smoothed down the the product around my face and then commenced to blow drying. I have really long hair so I used 3 pumps. I didn't put it all in at once though (okay, so I did the first time and it didn't work out for me so well… lol), I split it into 2 separate batches and applied most on the mid-section down.
|If you want to make this picture bigger just click on it.
I actually REALLY enjoyed the FO. It really made me second guess what I may have been doing wrong with all of the other oil hair treatments in my past. I don't know if it is the product, the technique or a combination of the two but it Elujuda FO really changed my mind about hair oils completely. When I use this treatment my hair is thicker, stronger and it is SOOOO silky to the touch. It didn't leave behind any greasiness (which I do typically have a problem with on my own) but please do follow the suggested amounts on the picture above. You may need to add or subtract due to the density of your hair. I have a thick head of fine hair but I found that the original suggested amount was perfect for me.
If you are interested in this Elujuda Fluent Oil or Mellow Oil, like I mentioned before, it will be released early 2013. To keep up with the brand you can always follow their Facebook page (link here). You can also take a look at what they have to offer currently at milbon-usa.com.

Why Xerox (XRX) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Xerox (XRX) was gaining 4.9% to $12.15 Wednesday after beating analysts' estimates for earnings in the first quarter.
For the first quarter the company posted earnings of 27 cents a share, beating FactSet estimates of 24 cents a share by 3 cents. Revenue fell 1.5% to $5.21 billion, while analysts expected revenue of $5.17 billion.
Looking to the second quarter Xerox now expects earnings of between 25 cents and 27 cents a share, below analysts' expected 28 cents a share. For the full year the company now expects earnings of between $1.07 and $1.13 a share, down from between $1.10 and $1.16 a share. Analysts expect earnings of $1.13 a share for the year.
Xerox also raised its 2014 buyback forecast to at least $700 million from at least $500 million. The company spent $275 million on buybacks in the first quarter.Must read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks SELL NOW: If you own any of the 900 stocks that TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified as a 'Sell'...you could potentially lose EVERYTHING in the next 6-12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates XEROX CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate XEROX CORP (XRX) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, XRX's share price has jumped by 26.79%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, XRX should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.63, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.18, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- XEROX CORP' earnings per share from the most recent quarter came in slightly below the year earlier quarter. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, XEROX CORP increased its bottom line by earning $0.93 versus $0.88 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.13 versus $0.93).
- 36.09% is the gross profit margin for XEROX CORP which we consider to be strong. Regardless of XRX's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 5.49% trails the industry average.

Trouble sleeping, waking in panic, palpitations more intense.
Jun 20, 2012
Panic attacks
sleep problems
So, recently, I've been having some trouble sleeping. It's like I'm afraid to fall asleep for fear of waking in panic or not waking at all :( even when I'm so exhausted I could sleep on the floor, I go lay down ready for bed and I just can't fall asleep. I've been having more intense and frequent PAC's and I've had about two anxiety attacks in the past week. (I had been doing good, like maybe one every 2 weeks). I awoke just recently in a panic. I felt lightheaded, weak, dizzy, out of breath, and like my heart was struggling to beat and thumping hard. I feel just helpless. I tried breathing exercises and drinking cold water and that seemed to help but now I am worried, because all of a sudden my PAC's are more intense and happening more frequently and I' m also having trouble sleeping. Wondering if I should make a trio to my general physician. I was feeling fine before, until I started having trouble sleeping. It's so exhausting being an excessive worrier. And I can't help it either. All I think about is being a mom to my son. I don't want anything to happen to me for sake of Cameron. I don't want him to be without a mommy and i don't know why I have to experience all of this at such a young age. I am trying SO hard to overcome and adapt to this without medications and ibolan to keep it that way. If anybody has any suggestions or input or any positive thoughts at all, please help! I just need to talk :(

PACs i hateeee you!
Feb 26, 2012
So about two weeks ago I got the diagnosis of my heart monitor. I had a 'few' ectopic or abnormal premature atrial beats. She said they were benign and everything looked normal. What a relief right?
Nope!! Just a few days ago I started getting intense PACs. I hadn't felt any at all in weeks! And now they are constant, like 2 or 3 an hour. And its really feeding my anxiety. It's like I can feel them coming and I've actually been having tightness in my chest and nausea that follow! I've also had a pounding heartbeat for the past few days which makes me feel sick as well.
Just when I thought I was getting better and consciously learning to deal with the problem, it gets worse! I'm having trouble sleeping again, I'm going to try a lorazepam tonight and see if that relaxes me enough to get at least a few hours of shut eye.
I know I shouldn't be as worried as I am since PACs aren't normally dangerous, but I'm terribly frightened that all these years of my heart beating extras or skipping and what not, that if later on down the road it will lead to an actual heart problem or worse :( what if my heart just wears out? I'm a healthy 21 year old and living in fear of having a heart attack or just dropping dead from heart failure or something. I want to enjoy the time I have with my son and I just live in constant fear and worry. What in the world can I do??
If God made these things liveable, why do I feel like I just can't? I need some help :( please!

Coming to terms
Feb 01, 2012
After seeing a new cardiologist, one who actually helped, I have been informed that I have a slight arrhythmia. The arrhythmia is definitely what's been causing my anxiety. When I can feel the irregular beats (a few times a day) I go into a panic.
Before I knew what it was, the panics would last for several minutes and would cause me to freak out and have a full blown panic attack. It was happening at least once a day. It caused loss of appetite and weight loss, dehydration, nausea, light headed-ness, dizziness, and in turn made my heart race faster and palpitations stronger. I felt like I was going to just pass out and never awake every single day.
After about 5 months of not knowing ANYTHING I finally get some answers. I'm also attending medical school right now so I do know that what I've been experiencing isn't normal, but it's not life threatening. Now that I know what is going on, when it happens I'm not frightened as much. I still get nervous and have a small panic, but nothing that disrupts my being. I worry still about what this could turn out to be in the future, but until then I am living my life to the fullest. I feel so much better now and I've regained my appetite, gained 3 pounds back, don't feel so weak or sick or sad anymore, and I'm able to enjoy the little things with my son that I should be enjoying.
On the other hand, this could be temporary. After seeing the doctor for about an hour she was able to diagnose the arrhythmia. I wore a heart monitor called a 'zio' for two weeks and sent it in on last Thursday. After it's evaluated and my doctor looks over it, I will get the final results. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for absolutely normal and nothing bad. But I did experience quite a few abnormal heart beats/rates while I was wearing it. So hopefully there will be an explanation. My blood pressure is usually borderline low, so I think that also has a lot to do with the way my heart beats.
Either way, I'm on the right track to getting my life back in order and being able to enjoy my family, friends, school, and work. I'm feeling a whole heck of a lot better and I'm so glad I had the energy, courage, and strength to get through this. I thank God every day that I'm blessed with such an amazing, loving family and people who care about me and remind me that it's going to be ok. I WILL overcome this until it is ALL GONE!
Staying Positive :)

Stupid Anxiety Attacks
Jan 10, 2012
Ugh!!! So I've had about four attacks today. Two in a row earlier and one just a second ago. I'm breathing through it as I write. I think I'm dehydrated and don't know if I should go to the hospital or not. I'm a petite person and don't have much to lose. I haven't eaten all day since yesterday afternoon and only able to take small sips of water. Even though I've only had a few sips I've been to the restroom at least ten times. I can't muster up the energy to get up. I feel weak and when I do get up to get my son out of another thing he got into, I feel lightheaded and hot. Even though I'm sipping water every now and then my mouth is dry too. My heart is beating rapidly and fast even though I'm just sitting on the couch trying to stay calm. What can I do instead of going to the hospital for them to tell me nothing is wrong!!!

Paid way too much for this.this set should of been priced under 100.00. I kept it for the color scheme.
I love the colors and the fit was perfect until I washed the comforter according to the manufacturers instructions. There was some shrinkage. Now the fit is okay but not perfect. I expected better for the price I paid.
I bought this set and the queen fits like a king size, the valance is huge, too big for my window, which is a normal size window, so all in all, I didn't care for it.

While squabbles over tasting rooms, pink doors and pirate flags dominate downtown discussions, a prominent feature of the Plaza is quietly being considered for a transformation.
The Toscano Hotel Complex, on the north side of the Plaza between the Cheese Factory and the Barracks, has been the subject of an eight-month study. Commissioned by its owner, the State of California, the study catalogued the history of the buildings on the site, evaluated their condition and made recommendations for possible future uses.
Michael Garavaglia Architects, of San Francisco, unveiled the results of its study to stakeholders – State Park employees, volunteer organizations and other interested parties – during a two-hour meeting Wednesday.
And while no decisions have been made, it was clearly stated that the final disposition of the properties will be decided by the state – the city has no say in the matter.
Reached after the meeting, Sonoma Planning Director David Goodison acknowledged the city has no say in the final decision. "The city recognizes that State Parks is not subject to local zoning regulations," he said, "but we support the efforts to maintain and revitalize the historic parks within the city and we appreciate the open dialogue and spirit of partnership that State Parks has shown with the city, and with the community as a whole."
The goal of the study was to identify, assess and evaluate the Toscano Hotel and Complex, and to provide detailed understanding of the history, integrity and significance of the buildings. Based on that information, recommendations were made for possible new uses and maintenance priorities.
These uses, outlined by Becky Urbano, State Parks preservation services manager, were tailored to each of the buildings in the complex, based on the buildings' size, condition and historic use. But all would have to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, which means ramps and altered door widths would be required, and many would need upgrades in electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, seismic safety, roofs and foundations.
"The hotel and kitchen would have the widest reuse considerations," said Urbano. "Low impact options would be a youth hostel or small hotel. The Annex and the second floor of the kitchen are set up for a hostel, with small rooms and a shared bathroom."
Pat Pulverenti, an employee of the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau, said the hostel idea would be welcome in Sonoma. "This state park exists in a significant city – more significant than Monterey. The thought of turning the Toscano into a youth hostel is an excellent idea. We get lots of visitors from Europe and they don't mind bathrooms down the hall, or small rooms."
Pulverenti said use as a house museum was OK in the past, but now California has no budget for major renovations and anything that generates money is good, because the buildings cannot remain empty. "We don't want buildings to be demolished through neglect," she added.
Preservation activist Karla Noyes disagreed. A longtime advocate of keeping the state's remaining Sonoma buildings as house museums, she said weddings and receptions could make a substantial contribution to retaining the buildings for tourists to view.
The only two areas that are definitely to remain museums in the plan, according to state officials, are the Servants Quarters, a building next to the Cheese Factory, and the barn. Both will soon contain exhibits.
Other ideas generated by the plan were a restaurant, with this being in either the kitchen and dining room or locating a new kitchen off site and using the dining room only; offices, which would be low impact; a visitors center, perhaps in the Tank House; and retail space, which would also be lower impact and could utilize the courtyard area recently paved over. The final use recommended was as a house museum, but Urbano pointed out that could be costly to the state, requires a lot of volunteers and does not maximize visitor use.
The study identified two distinct periods of significance. The first was the Servants Quarters, which dates back to Gen. Mariano Vallejo's time and is tagged at 1835 to 1851, and the Hotel Complex period, from 1852 to 1877.
According to the report, the site has historically been used for retail – the Nathanson store and the Leiding's store. It was also used for lodging as the Eureka Hotel before it was purchased by the Ciucci family in 1886 and became what we now call the Toscano Hotel. In 1902, it was expanded from a single building to incorporate a kitchen and annex. The upstairs of the hotel was remodeled, with rental rooms in the annex. Amelia and Jack Walton sold it to the state in 1957.
The Toscano Hotel, as we know it today, was remodeled to look like an old hotel in the 1960s and 1970s. The kitchen was remodeled in the 1980s.
Among maintenance priorities will be roof repairs and tying upper walls to roofs for seismic safety, according to Urbano. The buildings are wood frame, not adobe.
The study, which is still ongoing as other buildings in the complex are reviewed and evaluated, will be completed sometime in the summer.
Figures were not given, but past studies have indicated work to upgrade buildings for new uses would be costly.

Change document root for a single website to accomodate Zend Framework
I am using ISPConfig to host my website
and related sites news.chillifire.net and support.chillifire.net. The website
is making use of the Zend Framework and thus needs a document root of /var/www/www.chillifire.net/web/public in stead of the usual /var/www/www.chillifire.net/web I cannot make an overall and generic change as the two other sites are based on opensource packages that do not use Zend Framework and thus have to point to the normal /var/www/xxx/web document root. Currently I have to manually alter the configured file which only works until the next change of configuration 9as it is then of course overwritten.
PS: Others may be interested in how the set up for Zend Framework on ISPConfig3 works - a lot of other add-on directives are required to make this work. Happy to post it on this forum once this document root issue has been resolved.

Did you know it's illegal to buy a new car from the manufacturer? That's right. In most states (48 states) so-called direct-buys are unlawful by statute.
It is a crime to not go through a dealership.
Or rather, it's a crime for you – if you decided to manufacturer a car – to try to sell it without going through a middleman. The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) has seen to it – for all the obvious reasons.
You are also not the first legal owner of your new car.
The dealer is.
He buys the car from, say, Ford – and pays the cost to have it shipped by rail/truck from its final assembly point to his store. This freight cost – plus mark-up – plus other costs (including "prep") is then folded into the so-called Manufacturer's Suggest Retail Price (MSRP), which is what you're expected to pay for the car.
You then wrassle with him over the bottom line price and – eventually – buy the car from him.
Not Ford.
Even if you did a really thorough job researching the MSRP vs. the dealer invoice price (what the dealer supposedly paid Ford – in our example – for the car) it's highly likely he still made money off you. There are almost always secret factory-to-dealer holdbacks and other incentives which reduce the actual cost of the car to him. And there are numerous opportunities in between that first hello-there handshake and your signature on the contract to pad the bottom line.
The process is purposely designed to be Byzantine.
Which isn't – as such – evil.
The shuck and jive, the bob and weave – hey, that's capitalism.
If you have the personality for the ancient rite known as "haggling" – and understand how the game is played – you can sometimes come away from the encounter with a steal of a deal. Or at least, without having been made to squeal. And – yes – dealers can be helpful. It's sometimes nice to just offload your old car (the trade-in) and drive the new one home. Modern cars are also often pretty elaborate – and having someone explain the features and how things work is a legitimate service. Assuming you need it – and want it.
Not everyone does.
Which brings us to the real issue here: The involuntary nature of the initial transaction – and the fact that you can't (legally) end-run that initial transaction. You want a new car?
You've got to see Mr. Dealer.
We're assured by NADA that it's all very benevolent. That dealers provide a critical support network for car buyers so that when they need a warranty claim handled, it can be done locally, etc. All of this is certainly true to some extent. The same extent that it's true the DMV provides various its "services" to us . . . services we have to pay for and which, of course, we're not allowed to say no to.
